Chapter 9: The Light in the Dark

"Tell me! Chop Pieces! ”

Ling Qi, who sneered again and again, pressed step by step. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He backhanded the long-handed knife from the sheath behind his back, and his eyes scanned everyone in the dilapidated tavern, including the particularly sturdy dwarf.

Unlike the other's suspicion and hostility, the dwarf's gaze was very complicated, and the pain and anger contained in it were ten times more indignant than the anger that Ling Qi expressed!

"It's really him!"

"Hey, it looks like someone is coming again?!"

Ling Qi's thoughts turned around, and suddenly turned into a burst of sword light, and with a hula, he turned into a string moon and smashed towards the shopkeeper who was already standing!

A good snow-bright alloy steel knife, even if it crosses the plane, causing its physical characteristics to change slightly, it is still a rare boutique in ordinary standard equipment.

The cold edge and faint blue light even make people who watch from a distance realize its sharpness, indicating that when it falls, it must be bloody!

Clang!

Ling Qi's unused sword was blocked by a wooden staff stretched out horizontally!

The dull sound of hundreds of pounds of weapons colliding with each other spread, making the shopkeeper who bore the brunt of it upside down, covering his ears in pain.

Ling Qihu's mouth trembled slightly, like the trembling skin and eardrums.

He felt like a knife had been slashed at the copper wall, and he believed that if Fang Cai's blow was full of all his strength, it would definitely end up bursting with the tiger's mouth and almost self-harming!

He suddenly moved his gaze, and his expression was shocked, and the white-haired old man who had just crossed in from the door that he was staring at was smiling like a spring breeze, as if he had just done a trivial thing.

"You! Is it also a lackey of the dark world? ”

Ling Qi froze, and with a fierce increase in his hand, he pressed the wooden staff that was originally standing motionless slightly!

Suddenly encountering a big enemy, the other two teammates immediately surrounded the people with lightning speed, and cut off their back roads with each other's horns, but they tacitly did not intervene, leaving the task of frontal conflict to the weakest Ling Qi.

Ling Qi didn't have any feelings about his teammates' careful thoughts, the two of them probably always thought that they had spare strength, and they didn't believe that he was so weak that he couldn't even reach the normal hero level except for the hole card of the demon clone.

No matter how selfish these two men were, they had a deterrent effect that even they could not have imagined.

Just as they hesitated to show their "turtle speed", such a swift movement was enough to shock the natives, completely comparable to those high elves in the forest, and even the old man with unfathomable strength immediately changed color!

"Wait! Descendants of Gandoin Rick Larry! Dear descendants of the ancient royal family! I have no ill will! In fact, you've probably heard my name, my name is Gandalf! ”

Hearing these absolutely unexpected words, Ling Qi was slightly stunned, and the mercenaries around him who were half a beat slower to react and were drawing their swords also showed obvious hesitation after hearing the last three words, at least most of them.

Gandalf! His name seems to have some kind of magic, even if you don't know his true identity, you may have heard of his identity on the surface - the guardian of Middle-earth, the old turtle that will not die for ten thousand years!

Ling Qi was stunned, because he thought that this boos-level figure should be stronger, stronger, and more imposing, instead of the bad old man with gray robe and gray hair and beard, and his pointed ears couldn't hide the wrinkles on his skin!

When Gandalf scanned the crowd with that gentle and majestic gaze, there were only four people present who did not show too obvious changes in their movements and demeanors. Ling Qi and his party, and the dwarf who sat alone!

"Humph! Gandalf! I know you, in fact I grew up listening to stories about you and other wizards. ”

Ling Qi replied like this, and just when the other two teammates thought that he would accept it when he saw it, he suddenly exerted another force and directly squeezed the wooden staff away!

In a flash of his sword, he slashed at the tavern keeper who was lying on the ground, but at Gandalf!

"Tell me! Mislanda! Why! Why when the dark forces invaded my homeland! I said that you would appear, but I didn't show up for a long time! ”

Ling Qi shouted these words at a very fast speed! It even involves some elven phrases with complex meanings, as well as some ligament vocalization techniques, otherwise his knife would have been faster than his words!

Thanks to the special status given to him by the Juggernaut, he actually has more information and knowledge than the rest of the team, but the realm involved is too far away from the present world, so it seems useless in daily life, including some ancient basic dining etiquette!

Gandalf saw Ling Qi's hideous face attacking him, and the corners of his eyes that had been provoked drooped slightly, just about to teach him a lesson, but he didn't expect to mention this old incident that he had almost forgotten in public!

Gandalf didn't like Lingqi, and even less one of his companions, because they all had something in them that disgusted him, a closeness to darkness, not like the darkness he was familiar with!

In short, if it weren't for Ling Qi's words, a few of them and Gandalf, who had lived for an unknown amount of time, would probably stage a duel in advance, at least they would be hostile to each other!

Clang!

The long knife was parried by the wooden staff again!

The difference was that Ling Qi, who was holding the knife in both hands, was trembling with both arms, while Gandalf was still calm.

"Listen to me! Child! ”

"I'm sorry, at least for what happened!"

"Believe me, at that time, I really wanted to help your grandfather, great-grandfather. However, I don't have the skills. And I thought the brave Otodo would be able to stop the attack from Gondbada! ”

This world is full of war, justice and evil, aggression and protection, all of which will never change!

Not to mention those small countries that occupy a city and a place, even if they are large countries, empires that are larger than Gondor and Rohan combined, they are not without destruction!

Otodo is just one of many small countries, probably only the most orthodox royalty and elves who have lived long enough still remember its name.

And the reason why they remember it is not its political status and authority, but that the bloodline of this royal family is a bit special!

The royal family of Yinduo is a half-elf branch of many elves. Maybe it's not one, after all, compared to the most famous half-elf, the Lord of Rivendell, the founder of Tone Duo has long been forgotten by most people, and only a fairly prominent surname remains!

The Juggernaut did not correct Ling Qi's appearance to the same extent as an elf, and even in the eyes of the locals, he was an out-and-out human, only taller and more delicate. And the Juggernaut's explanation for his lack of pointed ears is the thinning of the royal bloodline.

No elf would want to marry a human, or a half-elf who is not strong enough. The royal family of Indo used the means of internal intermarriage to keep the bloodline pure, but this was obviously impossible after the entire country was destroyed.

In just three generations, the elven bloodlines of the surviving royal family members have been thinned, but the bravery that is different from ordinary people still has the marks of the past, at least Gandalf thinks.

He is the guardian of Middle-earth, but not the caretaker of a nation or race. He needed to know most of the history and secrets, but not too deeply, because eternal life still meant a finite amount of time. As a result, he occasionally breaks his word, because he has too many more important things to do. Therefore, he is occasionally confused, because he is known as knowledgeable, but he is not omniscient after all!

Ling Qi tried his best to make no contribution, he was like a child who had vented his anger, coldly put away the knife, and said nothing, but this decisiveness was something that the children did not have.

He wanted to show the stubbornness and pride peculiar to a childish and powerful declining royal family, and he succeeded, even better, for Gandalf had broken his faith far less often than he thought, an invisible wealth given to him by the Lord, andβ€”

Looking at the three people who were about to leave with a cold snort, the others were all relieved, and even a few powerful mercenaries who were hideous or sturdy, and obviously had two brushes, also quietly left their seats.

"Wait! Descendant of Gandoin, son of Mosa, if you still want to fight evil, I have a chance here! ”

Gandalf was at this time, however, and he was tempting.

The shopkeeper who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead almost cheated the corpse and pulled out all the beard and hair of his savior!

Ling Qi turned his head and was silent for a moment before he sighed:

"Do you think I am still qualified to stand in the camp of light and judge evil in a high-profile manner?"

"The darkness is an abhorrence to me, the light spurns me, and all I have is the remembrance of the glory and glory of the past!"

Ling Qi's performance was so good that he almost believed in himself, he was a declining royal family whose heart was towards the light but fell into darkness!

His instinct urged him to go on a killing spree here, but he held back, and even when Gandalf had just lost his mind, he had the opportunity to kill the worm lying on the ground, and he gave up!

Senseless killing wasn't what he wanted, and occasionally he succumbed to instincts that didn't come from his intentions, but not now!

"You!"

Gandalf hesitated and stretched out his right hand, the dry hand was like a chicken claw, no different from an ordinary old man, but it could even easily burst out with a power far beyond that of an ogre!

Ling Qi shook his head, pretending to sweep the darkness outside the house inadvertently, and patted Alex on the shoulder, an intimacy that even made his teammates puzzled.

Gandalf's eyes swept into the night outside the house like lightning, as if he had captured something, and immediately felt like a great enemy.

Then, when he looked at Ling Qi, who was cold on the surface but could not hide the look of exhaustion and pain, his gaze softened slightly. And when he looked at Alex, in the face of his completely indifferent attitude, a trace of disgust quietly flashed in the depths of his eyes!

Of the three, only the Dragonborn Maiden did not receive much attention, of course, only temporarily, and on the premise that she did not expose a soul that was very different from ordinary people!

Dragons, in this world, are utterly evil creatures, originally created by Morgoth, the former master of the current enemy of the world, Sauron!

So if a person has the soul of a dragon...

Ling Qi never hoped that the strength of the three of them would bring any positive effect, they were like hungry wolves walking in a flock, how could they be liked by sheepdogs and people?

Fortunately, the nature of power is not the essence of human beings after all, and although there are not many good deeds with the power of evil, it is not impossible, and rare cases are worth remembering, praising and cherishing.

Ling Qi already knew what role he should play in this scene! As for his other two teammates... Hehe!
