Chapter 40: Five Thousand Miles

Previous Chapter

Wuxiang and Meatball, who escaped from the underground, were obviously very afraid of this familiar voice, and the two hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The subordinates are not doing their jobs well, please punish the first one!"

In the shade of the corner, a guy in a gray cloak walked out slowly in the moonlight, his face covered by a huge hood.

The head of the divine shadow wearing a cloak looked at the two people who were terrified in front of him and said coldly: "Go back to the capital and wait." ”

Hearing this, Wuxiang hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Please give us another chance to make meritorious contributions, I will definitely ...... with meatballs."

"Guilty of meritorious service? Now Emperor Gang's whereabouts haven't even been found out by the Earth Dragon, can you find them? In addition, those little ghosts are accompanied by Ursula, even if you two know the location, what's the use? Honestly, go back to the capital, this seat has no time to deal with you. ”

After listening to the words of the first seat, Wuxiang didn't dare to say more, got up and left with meatballs. In the ruins of the Bliss Building, only the old man who was the head of the Divine Shadow and a stupid boy were left.

The young man named Dilong squatted on the ground and played with the sand, while the old man lifted his hood slightly, revealing his scarred old cheeks, and looked to the north from afar.

"Ursula, why did you even come out as an old immortal? Do you think the current world is not chaotic enough?"

…………

In the early morning of the next day, the already lively city of Izna became even more lively. No one would have imagined that Elysium, a behemoth that even the city's magnates were quite afraid of, would collapse overnight.

Not only was the Elysium inexplicably buried in the ground, but even all the backbones of Elysium evaporated overnight. In addition, not only the western part of the civilian area exploded because of the things in Elysium, but even the aristocratic district of the eastern city also seemed to be in chaos in the world, with chickens and dogs jumping everywhere.

It is said that last night, the heads of the three nobles of Dongcheng were quietly cut off their heads. At this moment, the east city, like the west city, has fallen into a chaotic situation where the dragons have no leader. What is even more worrying is that the relationship between the nobles is already intertwined, and there are conflicts due to entanglements of interests all year round. Without the checks and balances of the three major families, there will definitely be chaos and chaos.

Compared to the chaos in Izna, Dean and his gang were much more comfortable. On the northern trail, more than a hundred miles from Izna, a horse-drawn carriage is moving leisurely.

It's autumn and the weather is getting colder. Ursul, who was sitting in the front of the car, tightened the cowhide coat on his body, and smiled at the thin old horse that was slowly moving forward in front of him.

Yesterday night he had taken the group of imps out of the city, and Shi Qing had found Dean's old horse from the stables at the city gate, and had brought a carriage. Although there is a curfew in the city of Izna, there is no need to worry after Ursula has brought down all the guards guarding the city. What really surprised Ursula was that this skinny old horse, who could already see his ribs, actually pulled the group out of more than a hundred miles.

Ursula touched the back of the old horse and said with a smile: "You must have been the best in the world when you were young, haha." ”

The carriage is not very big, but it is full of people. Dean had just woken up and sat slowly in the corner of the carriage, with Anne and Leon sitting beside him. Shi Qing and the vengeful boy sat on the other side.

Dean was about to speak, when Anne, who was sitting nearby, stopped the old man in the cowhide coat, who was temporarily acting as a groom.

The group followed Anne out of the carriage and gathered together. Anne looked at Dean and smiled slightly, "I didn't mean to deceive you before, so please don't take it personally." As Emperor Gangdi said, the Glory Army made this deal with him, I will keep him from dying, and he will assist us in killing a few nobles in Dongcheng. ”

Dean's body was still a little weak at the moment, his lips were pale, and he smiled reluctantly: "It's serious, you saved my life in the hands of Wuxiang, it's too late for me to thank you." ”

Anne patted him lightly on the shoulder, then whispered in her ear, "You should thank a guy who keeps you talking, otherwise I wouldn't have saved you." ”

Dean was slightly stunned, and his voice was a little foggy. At this time, four horsemen chased after them from the path behind the carriage, and the group cautiously leaned together, ready to meet the enemy.

When the distance was closer, Dean saw that the other party only had three horses, but he only led an extra horse to accompany him. The three of them and the four horses came to Anne and quickly dismounted, clasped their fists and said, "The subordinates have fulfilled their mission and successfully completed the task." ”

Dean took a closer look, and it turned out that these three guys were the uncles who had been with Anne before.

Anne nodded at the three men, seemingly satisfied. He walked over to the free horse and turned over and sat down. The four of them turned their horses and left towards the west at the same time, and before parting, Anne said to Dean meaningfully, "Dean, we will meet again." ”

This makes everyone look at Dean a little playfully, most likely thinking that Anne has a little bit of that meaning to Dean. But Dean completely ignored the eyes around him, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't guess what Anne's words meant. But now that the other party has left, he doesn't think about it anymore, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.

Leon looked at Anne and the group as they gradually moved away, and said to Dean, "Dean, I returned home yesterday that Tyrese is no longer there, but he left me a note agreeing to join me in the Elven Clan's 'Land of Memory'. So, I can't go further north with you. ”

Dean asked, "What about Jack?"

"Tyrese took him with him, otherwise the Holy See would definitely catch him, and it would also be a burden to this child. Leon sighed.

Dean actually wanted to keep this suave but hidden guy in his heart, but Leonardo still had a family after all, so he couldn't force him. So he smiled and said, "Leon, in fact, Shi Qing and I are about to leave the Western Continent after a while, if you want to see us, let's go to the Forgotten City before winter." ”

Leonardo slung the bags he had packed from home on his shoulders, then slowly bowed to the group, turned and left.

Dean looked at the "blue robe" who was drifting away, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, finally met a partner worth befriending, and was about to part ways again. He remembered that three years ago, he and his eldest brother Su also went their separate ways, and even the wine gourd, who didn't talk often, left him after that.

"I don't know how those two guys are getting along now. Dean muttered to himself.

Just as Dean was feeling inexplicably nostalgic, an old man in a cowhide coat approached. When Dean saw this powerful old man, he smiled slightly and was ready to say thank you. But the old man didn't seem to want to ignore him, and walked straight to Shi Qing.

Seeing this, Shi Qing twisted his head and went straight back into the carriage.

The old man in the cowhide coat scolded and said, "Little rabbit cub, didn't he just suck your sword intent!

Shi Qing in the carriage hugged the four swords in his hand to his chest, and said angrily: "Don't think I don't know, along the way, you have absorbed all the sword intent left on the horse pistol, what do you want to do now? ”

Ursula, who was outside the carriage, smiled when she heard this, and said to Shi Qing in the carriage: "Silly boy, didn't your master tell you that these swords contain the essence of sword intent? Do you think that the little fur on the sword body is all the sword intent?"

Shi Qing was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said decisively: "Then I don't dare to show you these swords! ”

The old man in the cowhide coat smiled again when he heard this: "You little doll, use your brain, I want to grab the sword, can you stop it?"

Shi Qing was silent.

Ursula said: "I know your master, but he is not a friend, on the contrary, this guy also set me a trap back then, which made my realm plummet." As for the reason, I can't say more. In short, if I want to regain my peak strength now, I need to absorb that guy's seven sword intents. I've been waiting for his descendants to appear in the Western Continent as promised, so that I can recover as soon as possible, so I will 'coincidentally' appear in Izna. Still, I underestimated your master's scheming. Now it seems that I can only be effective by absorbing the essence sword intent under those prohibitions. However, those prohibitions need you to open. ”

Shi Qing frowned and asked, "How to open it?"

Ursula replied, "You need to comprehend a consummation of sword intent that is different from your master's ability to open it. Now each of your swords is like a house, and only when the new sword intent moves in, can you invite the 'old tenants' in the room out. In other words, if I want to regain my strength now, I must first make you stronger. However, your master's appetite is really not small, Rao is a freak like him can comprehend the Seven Swords, and it is difficult for you to comprehend the Seven Swords again above him. ”

Shi Qing was silent, and his heart was full of thoughts. He's reckless, but he's not stupid. Although Shi Qing, who has lived on Dongda Road since he was a child, has never heard of Burke, a long-dormant surname, the old man in the cowhide coat still vividly remembers his strong swordsmanship last night. For now, regardless of whether what the old man said is true or not, at least for now, he will not pose a threat to himself, and he will even help.

Seeing that Shi Qing was silent for a long time, Ursula pursed her lips impatiently and said, "Stinky boy, don't kick your nose in the face." Your master's bad stomach has already calculated me to death, why are you hesitating?"

Shi Qing himself was not an indecisive person, and when he heard this, he raised the curtain of the car with a blast of wind and said to Ursula: "Okay, you can go with us for the time being, and I will make a decision on how to lift the ban on the first sword in the future." ”

Ursula kicked the wheel of the car and said angrily: "Stinky boy, don't think that if I ask you, I can be an uncle." I only accompany you for five thousand miles with limited time, no matter whether the final seven swords can be found or not, and whether I can recover my strength, I will not walk with you again. This time I'm just trying my luck, and I'm not going to force anything. It doesn't matter how much strength you can recover, so don't throw me in the face every day. I have a bad temper, and it's not good to accidentally expose your sword qi and kill your friend. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Shi Qing's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Dean meaningfully.

Dean looked bitter, spread his hands and said, "Senior, he wants me to die." ”
