Chapter 3 The strange guy is a companion, what do you want me to do?
When Cheng Ye woke up, it was already evening.
The tavern was still in a mess, but the drinkers had already been replaced, and the sawdust of the wooden planks that had broken from the fight had been cleaned up for some time, and if he hadn't seen the stools without tables and the human prints on the walls, he would have even thought that he had just fallen asleep because he had drunk too much.
At this moment, a somewhat familiar face appeared in Cheng Ye's hazy eyes.
It's familiar, it seems like I've just seen it, but I can't remember who it is.
In the next moment, Cheng Ye suddenly came to his senses, stood up instantly, the golden light was already surrounding his arm, and his right fist was about to explode in the next second.
However, at some point, a touch of blue-purple color was mixed in the golden light that surrounded Cheng Ye's right arm, and then suddenly bloomed, turning into a thin web of thunder and lightning, firmly binding his arm.
"Calm down, you've smashed enough stuff today. Zhao Qianyu sat in front of Cheng Ye and looked at him with a smile, "Those two tables, as well as the big hole in the wall, are all your masterpieces." ”
Han Ling almost squirted out a mouthful of wine.
Zhao Qianyu, a brazen guy, had already figured out the wording when this person was unconscious, and counted the consequences of his perverted behavior on his head.
I don't know why, Han Ling suddenly remembered that before that, Zhao Qianyu felt out the gold coins in this person's pocket to lose money.
At that moment, the brazen guy acted like he was touching a corpse, and was so skilled enough to make people wonder "why are you so skilled?"
"Who are you?" Cheng Ye couldn't move for a while, and looked at Zhao Qianyu with a slight frown.
"Oh yes, you have fainted when you introduced yourself before," Zhao Qianyu slapped his thigh with a look of sudden realization, first pointing at himself, and then pointing at his companion who was smiling and drinking and watching the show, "I'm Zhao Qianyu, he's Han Ling, and we were in the Mercenary Guild before...... Well, work, but now a free man. ”
With the end of the self-introduction, Zhao Qianyu seemed to want to "snap" his fingers, but what made people laugh and cry was that he didn't seem to have mastered this advanced skill, so he had to touch his nose awkwardly and wave his hand to disperse the thunder wrapped around Cheng Ye's arm.
And beside Zhao Qianyu, Han Ling hurriedly blocked his expression with a wine glass, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth could not be hidden.
However, Cheng Ye, who didn't know anything about this, didn't know Zhao Qianyu's embarrassment at all, and almost subconsciously blocked his hands in front of his chest the moment the thunder dissipated, put on a defensive posture without flaws, and his eyes swept around and asked, "What kind of bastard is that Tianyu?"
"That's not a bastard, that's an upright paladin," Zhao Qianyu smiled, "Paladin, you can tell how holy and great they are when you hear the name, they obey the precepts day after day, they punish the evil and promote the good and uphold justice, they are strict with themselves and lenient with others, they represent the ...... justice."
They get the least salary, but they have to do the hardest and most deadly work, Zhao Qianyu added in his heart.
"So he and another guy want to kill me?" Cheng Ye didn't seem to hear the yin and yang in Zhao Qianyu's tone, and just asked with a dry smile, "Because they represent justice?"
"And because they represent justice, that's why you're going to help those two people?"
Unconsciously, Cheng Ye had clenched his fists, and Zhao Qianyu could only reply with an embarrassed smile:
"You and I met for the first time today, you didn't cheat me out of money or anything, and it is impossible for me to have any hatred for killing my father and wife, even if I help that guy named Wang Tianyu, he doesn't have any wealth to repay me, so you can rest assured, Han Ling and I just fought because someone was fighting in a drinking place. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Qianyu sighed softly, picked up the apple juice on the table and drank a sip to moisten his throat, and at the same time handed a glass of beer that was still bubbling to Cheng Ye, and continued:
"As for why those thunderbolts struck you...... All I can say is that it was a pure accident. ”
Zhao Qianyu saw that Cheng Ye didn't mean to reach out to pick up the wine glass in his hand, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and put the two drinks back on the table: "You have that dangerous taste of wandering between life and death countless times, so if you want to stop you, you must show enough strength to deter you, but I didn't expect that you would rush straight towards my thunder regardless of it." ”
"But after that, I also made a special potion for you to drink, you see, but in just a few hours you were back to normal, and even stronger than before, didn't you?"
Hearing Zhao Qianyu's words, Cheng Ye quickly released his palm and clenched his fist again, and found that the movement was indeed a few points faster than before, and there was a comfortable cool breath from his lower abdomen, so he reached out and picked up the cup of beer that Zhao Qianyu handed over before, and asked in a low voice: "So...... Those two guys...... Why do you want to kill me?"
"Honestly, that's the only thing...... I don't know," Zhao Qianyu shrugged after pondering for a moment, "Paladins are not guys who will shoot directly without any basis, if my intuition is still normal, you should not be burdened with any boring things such as blood hatred, and you have not done disgusting dirty things like slaughtering villages and towns......"
As Zhao Qianyu's voice became lower and lower, his body leaned forward and leaned closer, and finally whispered in Cheng Ye's ear, "Then it can only be your demon soul, there is a problem." ”
The biggest secret was seen through one after another, and Cheng Ye subconsciously clenched his right fist.
"Calm down, there are some things I can know, but I'm too lazy to make trouble for myself," Zhao Qianyu's voice was still very soft, "Before you learn to hide, try to stay away from the guys in the Holy Light Church, this is the only advice I can give you." ”
Cheng Ye thought about it, but still said thank you, and left silently after drinking the wine in the cup.
"Thank you for your support, I have just arrived in Guibaodi, there is nothing to honor you, I work hard, give you a trip to practice kung fu, the practice is good or not, please bear with me. I hope that everyone who has money will have a money field, and those who don't have money will also come to a money field, oh no, it is a personal field. ”
Bypassing the two streets, it was already a sea of people, and the shouting was so meaningful, Cheng Ye went all the way in, and saw a big man who seemed to smash a stone slab with a punch that seemed to be understated.
Cheng Ye thought that he could do it with his anger, and he smiled dumbly, after all, he was a demon protector, and he was just an ordinary person who had exercised, looking at the porcelain bowl with more than a dozen copper plates in front of the big man, he threw a silver coin casually, and turned to leave.
Take a bath, buy a clean set of clothes to change into, eat something, and watch the girls in the tavern dance some hot dances.
If you have the chance...... I wish I had such a peaceful life......
Cheng Ye looked at the sexy girl dancing in the center of the tavern, and his fists couldn't help but clench.
But I have the ability to protect myself, at least temporarily, and what else is there to complain about.
But...... Is there really?
Think about the paladin at noon, although he is a twenty outstanding youth, that guy is obviously not a high-level guy, he and his companions can make themselves fall behind, and even, it can be imagined that if he continues, he will definitely lose.
Cheng Ye was not an idiot, he had already figured out the development of that battle when he was still walking on the street, but the conclusion was depressing - even if he was close to the little girl, as long as she protected herself a little, the result would probably not change.
Not to mention Zhao Qianyu and Han Ling, who can control themselves casually and what rain they are, they may also want to take their lives.
Damn it.
For the first time, Cheng Ye was so eager for power.
It is no longer the hope that the demon soul who hides himself has a peaceful life, but to make himself stronger and not let his life be in the hands of others.
He began to look forward to the teachings and trials that were coming.
At least Mo Yan won't be weaker than those two people, right?
Thinking about it all night and drinking slowly, Cheng Ye didn't know when he finally fell asleep.
In the next week, Cheng Ye was quite careful, drinking every day, watching the girls, watching the performances of the street performers, although he still rarely talked to people, but he would smile stiffly at the corners of his mouth to show friendship.
And since it's been a week, I just go back and have a look.
The expected companion is not there, Mo Yan is not there, and there is not even a living lifeform.
An ominous premonition came to his heart, and the golden light began to wrap around his arm, confirming that the fury could be summoned at any time to reassure himself, Cheng Ye had just stepped on the stairs, but there was a creaking sound from the door behind him.
"Holy Light, this castle is so damn hard to find," a sunny voice came from outside the gate of the castle, "and sister, I seem to feel that there is a great evil hidden in this abandoned castle, and if something happens, remember to protect yourself." ”
Although a week has passed, for Cheng Ye, the last time he heard this voice seemed to be just yesterday, and almost instantly became angry, Cheng Ye stepped on the second floor, stood on the handrail and prepared to jump down, as if he wanted to seize the opportunity with his height advantage.
"First of all, it's my brother, you have to find your own way to get lost for two days, otherwise we would have arrived a long time ago," the clear female voice sounded, it was a pleasant sound like a wind chime, very good, "Secondly, it was you who said that I accompanied you when you encountered a task with a very high reward and would never violate your principles." ”
"In the end, it's obviously my brother, a fool, who casually rushed out of the tavern to judge what evil caused my holy light to be overdrawn and couldn't call the beacon!"
"Hey, hey, hey" The door was pushed open as the door was pushed open, and the little girl sat on the paladin's neck, her arms folded over her chest, her mouth pursed.
Between the previous conversation and the strange image of these two people combined, Cheng Ye even forgot the principle of preemptive strike for a while.
Wang Tianyu also didn't seem to have thought that there would be someone behind the door, and this person was still the evil person he tried to judge before, and he was stunned for a while.
So the two sides who were fighting for life and death in the tavern before, but at this moment, they are looking at each other.
"For justice!" his right hand pulled out the war hammer on his waist, Wang Tianyu even forgot to put down the little girl riding on his neck first, the light surged in his hands, and the war hammer began to shine.
It was not far from Cheng Ye's guess, compared to before, the holy light contained in the warhammer was several times dimmer.
"Brother, you idiot......" Almost at the moment when Wang Tianyu was about to charge, the little girl punched him on the head, and it seemed to be a conditioned reflex, Wang Tianyu stood up directly and did not take another half step forward.
At the same time as the little punch was beaten, the little girl showed a cute smile and asked Cheng Ye, "Have you ever seen a person dressed in white and with white hair? ”
"Judge him for his evil?" Cheng Ye asked with a sneer.
The little girl angrily punched the mount under her, "He said that he has a mission that pays very well and is absolutely righteous, without the slightest crime, and will never break any law, so this idiot paladin must come." ”
Hearing his sister's words, Wang Tianyu smiled awkwardly.
"That's too bad," another somewhat familiar voice came from Cheng Ye's left, his voice was full of laughter, and to Cheng Ye's horror, he didn't know when, there was already a person sitting on his left, that person swaying his legs in the air at will, reaching out to take off his hood as he spoke, "If you were also told by that guy that something good was there that made you here......
"No, we'll be companions from now on. ”
Sure enough, that person was Han Ling.
And it was at this moment that Cheng Ye suddenly realized that this person was even stronger than he imagined!
Cheng Ye should have felt dangerous to this guy who could suddenly appear silently within his perception range - a person can sit by your side quietly, and naturally take your life silently - he should have made a defensive posture at the first time, or launched a preemptive attack.
However, Han Ling's words were much more terrifying than Han Ling himself, so that he only remembered exclamation for a while, and he didn't even have the memory of launching an instinctive battle.
"What?"
"Me and this guy...... Later a companion?"
