Chapter 249: Empty Plains
......
Due to the destruction of sandworms, the road surface has left a large crater. Liuli's convoy could not pass, so he had to send people down to repair the road.
Shrek was the most diligent, and without waiting for anyone else's instructions, he was the first to jump out of the car and silently fill the sand and gravel back into the pit.
The other Miracle Guild men took the opportunity to move their muscles on the side of the road.
Fu Tian was lying on the carriage, holding a horsetail in his mouth, basking in the sun very comfortably.
Jon was secretly sweating, these guys didn't have any spirit of cooperation, and they didn't know where they got it from?
He was about to get out of the car to help Shrek. Just then, a swordsman on horseback passed by the side of the road and asked, "What's going on here, could it be that you have been attacked by sandworms?"
Jon looked up and found that this person had a silver three-star career badge on his chest, and couldn't help but be in awe: "Yes, fortunately, no one was injured. ”
The swordsman looked at the side of the road: "The stone pillars here are very badly damaged, and we must notify the Magic Association and ask them to send someone to repair it." ”
"What do you call your seniors?"
"I'm Luo Yixuan, and I just came back from a mission in the field. ”
Jon said with a look of adoration: "Senior Luo, you must be a member of a large trade union, right?"
Luo Yixuan smiled: "I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, our union is very small, with only about thirty members. And our union is in Canterlot, more than a thousand kilometers from here. ”
"You must have something important here, right?"
"It's nothing, there are a lot of masters here, you can learn from each other. If you want to progress, you have to find a wider world. ”
"I see. ”
While they were talking, Shrek had already fixed the pavement, and Ruri's convoy continued on the road.
This silver-star-star swordsman also followed their convoy slowly.
As far as the eye can see, this empty plain is still very beautiful.
The stone pillars on the side of the road add some sense of age to this grassland. In addition to this, there is a peculiar landscape here.
There is a floating land in the sky in the distance, somewhat similar to the Lost Bluffs of Grand House.
Legend has it that a long time ago, people built a lot of suspended land in the air in order to avoid the harassment of sandworms. I don't know how they did it, but after thousands of years, they're still floating in the air.
Each land also has a huge iron chain that holds them to the ground. From a distance, it looks like a balloon, and it looks very interesting.
Liuli's mood was relatively low, and she said pitifully, "How long will it take for us to reach Sky City?"
Chrissy opened the map and looked at it: "There are still 600 kilometers, and it is estimated that it will take five days." “
Liuli hugged her knees and said, "We've been gone for almost twenty days, right?"
"Yes, today is the sixteenth day. ”
"I feel so tired. ”
"If you're sleepy, get some sleep. ”
Ruri was really uncomfortable, so she cowered in the carriage, still holding the pillow in her hand, and fell asleep in a daze.
Fu Qing was also sitting in this carriage, and she brought a blanket and gently covered the young lady. This kind of long journey is indeed torture for her.
Chrissy asked, "You and Fu Tian are brother and sister, right?"
Fu Qing nodded: "He and I are both orphans, and it was Steward Fu who brought us back from the slums. ”
Chrissy was a little surprised, she had seen Fu Qing and Fu Tian's swordsmanship, and the strength of the Clark family was really a bit unfathomable.
In the evening of that day, Ruri's convoy arrived at an open-air camp. After everyone set up their tents, they all sat down around the campfire and began to chat.
Ruri went to bed early, and outside her tent, there were always two people guarding her. On this point, these people are very conscientious.
The silver swordsman named Luo Yixuan was also camping here. He sat down next to Jon and asked, "You're from the same union, aren't you?
Everyone was already very familiar with this silver swordsman, and a member named Lijiong said excitedly, "We want to go to Sky City to develop our own guild. ”
Luo Yixuan looked around and found that the highest career level of these guys was only a bronze five-star. These people actually want to go to the city in the sky, which is really commendable.
Shrek was also a little worried, and said honestly, "After we go to Sky City, what should we do first?"
Li Jiong thought for a while and said, "It's very simple, buy a building first and use it as the headquarters of our trade union." ”
Fu Tiandao: "I think we should first challenge the other trade unions, beat them all down, and let them know how good we are." ”
"Haha, that's a good idea!"
"Then it's decided. ”
Shrek looked at them with a confused expression.
Jon really wanted to find a hole in the ground, thinking to himself how he could join a union like this? These guys are all teasers!
Luo Yixuan smiled: "Your ambition is really not small, hahaha!"
He suddenly felt that these guys were fun. If you want to go back to Sky City anyway, you might as well go with them. If you encounter sandworms, you can help them.
As the night grew darker, the bonfires clattered from time to time, the plain of the sky seemed very quiet, and the stars in the sky were exceptionally bright.
Towards midnight, a dark shadow arrived at the camp.
Lijiong's eyesight was very good, and he was overjoyed: "Steward Fu is back." ”
Everyone turned their heads to look, and sure enough, it was Fu Jiaye.
This housekeeper went to Xilin City in the dust, and it was not easy to catch up with Liuli's convoy here.
After Fu Jiaye saw the members of the Miracle Union, he was also in good spirits.
He had been worried that Miss's convoy would be ambushed by the Extreme Workshop. Now it seems that it is completely self-conscious.
Thinking about it, with the strength of their own people, the people of the Extreme Workshop may not dare to act rashly. Half of the current Miracle Guild are members of the Clark family.
They are: Fu Tian, Fu Qing, Jin Hongyuan, Lijiong, Erian, Junfeng, Augustine, Gareth.
Fu Tian and Fu Qing are swordsmen trained by themselves, and they can rest assured that they will protect the young lady.
Jin Hongyuan, Lijiong, and Erian are magicians. Among them, Jin Hongyuan is good at dark magic, this guy exudes an ominous aura, no one knows how high his magic level is, even Fu Tian and Fu Qing are a little afraid of him.
Lijiong is good at fire magic, and the flames he releases are pale cyan and can reach a temperature of up to a thousand degrees.
Erion is good at healing magic, and as long as you don't die on the spot, he can give you a makeover.
An assassin by profession, he carried a sword and rarely spoke. Often people will ignore him, this guy's presence is very low. Perhaps, this is the basic requirement to be an Assassin, right?
Augustine is a very rare sealer, he is proficient in all kinds of magic arrays, can break all kinds of enchantments, and of course, can also set up defensive arrays and traps.
Gareth is a forger, and among these people, only he has the least combat effectiveness.
The people in front of them are all masters from all walks of life, and the reason why they don't have career badges is because the Clark family was originally a dark organization.
Fu Jiaye asked, "Where's Miss?"
Fu Tiandao: "She has already slept." I have sent two men to protect her every day, as you have commanded, and you can rest assured. ”
Fu Jiaye nodded with satisfaction, and then felt a sense of fatigue coming, so he said, "It's a little late, let's go to sleep." ”
Fu Jiaye was extremely prestigious among them, and as soon as the words fell, they immediately dispersed.
On the contrary, it was Shrek and Jon, who were personally recruited by Ruri, so they didn't belong to their circle, so they were still roasting the bonfire outside.
Fu Jiaye walked into a tent on the left and was about to rest, but there was a sound of footsteps outside.
It turned out that Ruri was not asleep.
She had slept enough, and at this time she heard that Steward Fu was back, so accompanied by Fu Qing and Chrissy, she came here directly to find him.
"Steward Fu, have you seen Xiao Lei?"
Liuli held a pillow in her hand and looked at Fu Jiaye a little nervously.
She found that Lei Yun did not come back with Steward Fu, so she had a bad premonition.
Fu Jiaye couldn't help but tremble when he saw her pitiful eyes.
I thought that a long pain is better than a short pain, and I must let the young lady forget about this person as soon as possible.
"Miss Hui, I saw the little thunder you said in Xilin City. Merely...... He's got a new love, so you'd better forget about him. ”
Liuli was stunned for a moment: "People...... People don't believe it. ”
Fu Jiaye said: "This is what I saw with my own eyes, there is a very beautiful girl next to him, her name is Sylv. I told Lei that Miss would be waiting for him in Sky City, but he left with Silver. ”
Liuli looked at Fu Jiaye in a daze, and her eyes gradually filled with tears: "Yes...... Did someone do something wrong, so he didn't want anyone else......?
"Miss didn't do anything wrong, it's all Xiao Lei's fault, this kind of person is not worthy of you at all. ”
"No...... I'm going to see him in person, I'm going to hear him in person, and I'm going to believe it. ”
"Miss Hui, Xiao Lei has already left Xilin City. ”
Liuli was stunned for a moment, and finally cried bitterly.
She thought of everything about Thundercloud, his arms were so warm, it made people feel safe, she didn't believe that Thundercloud would throw herself here for the sake of other women.
She knew that Thundercloud was sincere about herself, especially in the time before he left. He would often put his arms around him, and his eyes were full of tenderness. He could clearly feel that he was reluctant to leave him.
I was so stupid, why didn't I see it at the time?
He must have endured all kinds of suffering. It must have been for fear of endangering himself, so he left Grand Academy.
The rumors from the outside world may not be wrong, he is from the Land of Clouds, but so what?
I must tell him that I must follow him wherever he goes. Even if you lose your life, even if you have to go against the whole world, you are willing to be by his side.
If he had told him earlier that he could summon the gods of the other world and was fully capable of protecting himself, he might have taken him on an adventure, right?
It's all my own fault, I didn't explain everything to him, that's why I became what I am now.
Liuli cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and Chrissy next to her saw that she was a little unstable on her feet, so she held her delicate body: "Miss, don't worry, there must be a misunderstanding here." ”
After speaking, Chrissy glanced at Fu Jiaye. Because she knows very well that Liuli puts all her feelings on that little thunder, and after hearing this kind of news, she is likely to collapse.
She lost her parents when she was a child, and there are almost no people to care about in this world, such a girl is very fragile.
Chrissy said seriously: "Xiao Lei probably accepted a very important task, and he must complete this task before he can come to Miss." Isn't that right, Steward Fu?"
Fu Jiaye was stunned for a moment: "Well, this little thunder did go to the City of the Sun." ”
"Look, Xiao Lei must have a mission on his side, so he can't pull away. The young lady also knew that abandoning the mission would have serious consequences and would probably affect his future. Miss should give him some time!"
Ruri cried, "I, I'm going to the City of the Sun too!"
Fu Jiaye was embarrassed for a while, and he finally knew that the young lady was desperate to talk to that bastard. He could only say: "Miss Hui, the City of the Sun is a relic that has been lost for thousands of years, and in this world, I am afraid that only Xiao Lei and they know the exact coordinates." We have no choice but to wait for them to come back. ”
Chrissy nodded again and again, this lie is a bit level, and Fu Jiaye finally got his senses.
Liuli cried: "No, no, no, people are going to the City of the Sun now." ”
Fu Jiaye, Chrissy, and Fu Qing were embarrassed for a while, and they didn't know what to do.
Chrissy said, "Miss, it is important to find Xiao Lei, but the last words left by your father are also important. Do you have to ignore your father's last wish for the sake of Xiao Lei?"
Liuli said in a daze: "But, but it's a ...... Woowoo woo ......"
She's not in a good mental state lately, so she doesn't have any opinions.
Fu Jiaye immediately said: "Xiao Lei just went to the City of the Sun, and when he comes back, it's not too late to go to him again." ”
They coaxed and deceived, and finally sent Ruri back to the tent.
Chrissy said to Fu Jiaye: "Do you know? The reason why Miss Liuli established this union is to find that little thunder. You want her to face reality now, and she may not be able to bear it. ”
"Now Miss, it is impossible to forget the other party, we have to distract her in other ways. Maybe in a couple of years, she'll forget about this guy. ”
"You said that Xiao Lei went to the City of the Sun, and this excuse is not bad. Miss can't find him for a short time, and after a long time, she should become mature. Even if you can't find Xiaolei in the future, I believe you can stick to it. ”
Fu Jiaye said embarrassedly: "What I said is true, Xiao Lei did go to the City of the Sun." But that doesn't matter anymore, just do what you say. ”
Chrissy returned to Ruri's tent and saw Ruri cowering on the bed with the pillow in her hand.
Chrissy sat down next to her and found that she was not asleep.
Liuli's eyes were still blurred with tears, and she wiped her red and swollen eyes with a pillow from time to time.
This little girl is really pitiful, and Chrissy feels a pain in her heart. So he stroked her head and said, "Xiao Lei must have gone on an adventure, and he won't be able to come back for a while." Let's figure out how to gain a foothold in Sky City. ”
Ruri sobbed, "I should have gone to him myself." ”
Chrissy shook her head: "With your current state, there is no way to travel overnight. Didn't you hear what Steward Fu said? He rushed over, and it didn't take long for Xiao Lei to leave Xilin City. So, you may not find him at all. ”
"Don't think about this anymore, we just need to develop this union, and it will definitely be easier when we go to find Xiaolei in the future. Maybe one day, we can go on an adventure with him. Are you right?"
Liuli wiped her tears, looked up at her and said, "You say, will Xiao Lei really find another girl outside?"
"Hey, a big carrot like him, I'm sure I'll be looking for other girls. But don't worry, Miss Ruri is the most beautiful and lovely person I've ever met. There is no one in this world who is your opponent, you have to have faith in yourself. ”
"Besides, didn't Xiao Lei write a letter to you? You take it out and take a look, he said that he was going to the imperial capital to find you. This shows that he is reluctant to let you go. If you want to surprise him, then develop this union well. When you meet, I believe he will never be able to do without you again. ”
Liuli hugged the pillow tightly with her little hands and nodded obediently: "I also think that he will not abandon others." ”
Chrissy sighed, gently covered her with the quilt, and finally saw Ruri fall asleep.
