I didn't even see a shadow of the matter of the Divine Tomb, and with the strength of this group of people now, it was not easy to enter the Divine Tomb, so everyone put it aside after talking for a while.

Dinner was very rich, and everyone made it together, except for the steamed hibiscus eggs and two cold side dishes, the other meat dishes were made by Hines and Taylor, and Priestley also provided their elf vegetarian food - a delicious green vegetable and fruit salad, except for Jian Lu and Amelia who would touch a little, the other three males did not pay attention to it at all.

In this regard, Priestley thought that they were all carnivorous savages, and looked contemptuous. His expression happened to be captured by the orc, who had been in the same dormitory with him for five years, and the orc said that he had long been accustomed to the arrogant turtle hair and so-called art of the elves, and even in the past six years, he had been beaten by the elves from time to time, and it was not painful at all.

After a sumptuous dinner, everyone sat down on the sofa in the living room to eat desserts and fruits, and chatted casually.

Jian Lu remembered what he heard the alumni say when he returned to school during the day, and asked, "By the way, what's going on with this Demon Martial Academy Exchange Competition?" ”

"It's not like that, you humans made something out, tsk!" Priestley looked unimpressed.

If it weren't for Lemlas' mystery in the continent of Olawen and being ordered by the elven queen to come here to study, Priestley would probably be like all elves, living in the elven forest for the rest of his life.

In contrast, Taylor's combat students are much happier, especially the orcs, who themselves are a warlike race, they have been pursuing battle all their lives, breaking through in battle, and they are natural warriors.

"The school is going to select twenty people to participate in this Demon Martial Academy Exchange Competition." Taylor rubbed his hands, "Anyone who wants to go can sign up, and then arrange a ranking tournament to select the top twenty." The thought of another fight made the orcs even more excited.

"Oh."

When he was extremely excited, he found the cold reaction of Jian Lu and Hines, Amelia and other friends, and Taylor suddenly wondered, "Don't you all want to go to meet the level of other students in the Demon Martial Arts School?" He looked at Hines again, this is a murderous thing, he is very excited every time he fights, is he really not interested.

"Jane won't go, and neither will I." Hines looked like a simple land pony.

"Tsk!"

At this moment, the expressions of the elves and the orcs were synchronized, and they had infinite contempt for Hines, although they had known for a long time that Hines was a sticky brother, but sticking like this, it was like an unweaned child, and it didn't match his violent combat power at all.

"Young people, even if they are brothers, sooner or later there will be a time when they will separate, and when you have your own partner, it is your partner who will accompany you through your life, and you will not be able to stay together all the time." Taylor rarely had a slender nerve to say something so reasonable.

Of course, for the orcs, because the fertility of the orcs is not strong, they attach great importance to the reproduction of the race, and almost every adult, they will quickly choose a good object, form a partner under the witness of the beast god, and become the object of lifelong companionship. Because of this, for orcs, a companion can almost be said to be more important than a loved one. Because of this, when Taylor said this, it was really natural.

Hines looked at him faintly, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Feeling an inexplicable danger, the orc's fur was about to explode, and he quickly shook his head, it was indeed none of his business.

It wasn't until before the curfew that the group was sent away.

When Jian Lu came out of the shower, Hines was already lying on his bed waiting for him.

"Jane, it's time to rest." Hines naturally rolled over, his open placket revealing his strong chest.

His skin is very white, but it does not make people feel that it is as white as a chicken, but presents a healthy white, and the smooth texture under the skin contains infinite explosive power, making this person look extremely handsome and meticulous in every aspect.

Jian Lu paused, walked over as usual, and said calmly, "It's time for you to go back to your room." ”

Hines paused with a pillow move, then yawned and said, "I'm used to sleeping with you, I can't sleep alone." ”

"Really?" Jian Lu took a closer look at his face.

Hines looked at him innocently, then pulled him to the bed, and the two were side by side.

There was a few centimeters between the shoulders, Jian Lu felt that he might be too careful, this young man was the brother he watched grow up, he was familiar with every stage of his growth, and even remembered everything that happened to him, he loved this person as a brother.

He couldn't imagine anything but brotherhood between them.

"Jane, aren't you going to participate in the Demon Martial Arts Academy Exchange Competition?" Hines asked.

"It's not interesting." Jian Lu said lightly: "Lemlas's level is above the level of the students of the Demon Martial Academy of the Four Great Empires, and it is difficult to find an opponent who can match it. ”

This is also why Lemlas only comes out to participate once every ten years, because almost all the geniuses in the Olawen Continent have been recruited by Lemlas first, which makes the difference in strength between Lemlas and the students of other Demon Martial Arts Academies in the continent too great, and it can even be said that the purpose of Demon Martial Arts Exchange cannot be achieved.

"But you can sign up." Jian Lu said, "Lemlas's students are all biased towards the geniuses of various forces and races, and the four empires have a lot of talented civilian students, maybe some of them will have a strength not much different from Lemlas's students, and it will be good for you to participate in this kind of exchange competition." ”

"If you don't go, I won't either." Hines stumbled, rolled over, and turned his back to him.

Jian Lu was speechless by his actions, and found that Taylor was right, this person was actually like a little friend with a sticky brother, but in his heart he was going to die because of his little willfulness.

Those who are not older brothers will refuse their younger brother's dependence on him, especially Jian Lu watching him grow up, he will always be a little soft-hearted towards him, this kind of feeling is not controlled by reason.

Jian Lu patted him on the shoulder, "You go to sign up first, if you really participate, I can accompany you." ”

"Really?" Hines turned and leaned his face on his chest, his azure eyes shining.

Jian Lu felt more and more that he was a child, it should be said that he was a teenager, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny, and then said: "Naturally it's true, didn't Amelia say it, the regulations promulgated by the school make it clear that even if you don't want to participate, you can sign up to go forward with the participating students, and take this opportunity to observe the magic martial arts competition of students from other colleges." ”

The overall strength of Lemlas' students is indeed higher than that of other Demon Martial Academy students in the continent, but the academy does not relax the cultivation of students because of this, let alone let the students be arrogant, knowing that this world is so big that there are no geniuses, and it is not that Lemlas's students are doomed to be undefeated.

Therefore, even if you don't want to participate in the exchange competition, the college still encourages students to sign up to visit the competition with them, because the number of students in the school is too small, even if they go to visit with them, they will not exceed the number of people specified in the competition, which is also a shortcoming of Lemlas==!

There is another reason, Lemlas also values people's creative power, although some people's strength is not high, but the creative force is very strong, simply put, it is a big brain, very enlightened, if you can get any inspiration from it, it can be regarded as lucky.

After the two chatted for a while about the Demon Martial Academy Exchange Competition, Jian Lu quickly fell asleep.

Shortly after he fell asleep, Hines pulled shoulders closer to each other and took him into his arms......

****

The next day, Hines dragged Jane Lu to sign up.

Hines has no interest in this kind of demon martial arts exchange competition, and has often competed with Taylor, an orc, over the years, allowing him to have a clear assessment of his strength, plus this year's experience outside, especially in a dangerous place like the Demon Prison, has increased his actual combat level a lot, it can be said that the students in school are not enough for him to abuse.

But Jian Lu seemed to want him to participate, and Hines went to sign up.

Jian Lu's original intention was to hope that Hines could gain something from competing with different opponents and improve his strength, which could be regarded as an opportunity, although Hines felt that it was not necessary, but Jian Lu hoped for it, so he went to sign up, anyway, as long as Jian Lu accompanied him.

Just keep this person in front of you, it doesn't matter where you go.

Taylor was thrilled to learn that they had signed up, "Jane, you'll know that this decision was very wise. ”

Priestley glanced at the registration form that Jian Lu had filled out, and a mocking smile appeared on his face, "Stupid beast, the name of the briefing is to visit, not to participate." ”

Taylor hurriedly looked down at Jian Lu's registration form, only to find that this form was just a registration form, and he was immediately a little disappointed. In the eyes of the belligerent orcs, it is more interesting for everyone to participate in the competition together.

Priestley glanced at Jane Lu and Hines and also went to sign up, so naturally he signed up to visit.

"Jane, why are you ......?" Amelia asked curiously, she had thought that Jian Lu was not interested.

Jian Lu said calmly: "The exchange competition has gathered the top students from the Aurawen Continent, go and see what you might gain." ”

Amelia's eyes flashed slightly, and then she also went to sign up.

After registering, Jian Lu went to find out the time and place of the Demon Martial Arts Exchange Competition, which was scheduled for March, and the location was at the Mepst Demon Martial Arts Academy in the Southern Continent.

"I heard that the venue of each year's Demon Martial Arts Exchange Contest is in turn, and this year it happened to be the turn of the Mepst Demon Martial Arts Academy in the Southern Continent." Taylor explained.

Jian Lu has never been to the Southern Continent, so he is not familiar with it and has no feelings, but he has this opportunity to go to the Southern Continent to have a look, so he naturally likes it.

When Jian Lu returned to school, it was late January, and there were about forty days before the Demon Martial Arts Exchange Competition, but then he would leave half a month in advance, so in the following days, Jian Lu ran to the school's library every day, specializing in studying some historical documents.

Jian Lu wants to find a way to avoid the destruction of the world and become a god, while Hines is looking for the history of the Olawen continent that is more distant before the war of the gods, and wants to know if the continent of Olawen has a record of a saint becoming a god before the war of the gods seven thousand years ago, and if he wants to become a god, what is the method.

It's a pity that after looking for half a month, Jian Lu found nothing.

While he found nothing, he was a little frightened, for fear that Hines would find some forbidden way to become a god when he didn't know it-such as the kind that can only become a god by destroying the world, so he stared at Hines very closely, making Hines secretly happy in his heart, and even more silent.

Jian Lu was in this state of ignorance, and his eyes fell on Hines for a long time, causing him to ignore the situation outside and the people around him.

Until he was about to set off, Jian Lu was stunned.

"What's so nice about this man?" Priestley said with disgust, "It's a shame that you've been staring at him all this time, what are you guarding against?" ”

Jian Lu was depressed in his heart, and said in his heart that there is a villain boss who will destroy the world in the future as a brother, and you will not understand that kind of painful mood. Thinking in his heart, he had a look of great integrity on his face, and said, "Pree, you came just in time, I have something to look for you." ”

"What?"

Jian Lu thought for a moment and said, "I am extremely interested in the Elven Forest, and if I have time, I hope to visit." ”

Priestley's emerald green eyes fell on him, and he said lightly: "If you are a friend who comes with good intentions, the Elven Forest welcomes you." ”

"Thank you." Jian Lu smiled.

Priestley didn't dwell on this matter for too long, no matter why Jian Lu suddenly wanted to go to the Elven Forest, with Jian Lu's personality, he was naturally trustworthy, and he wouldn't think that Jian Lu was going to do something unfavorable to the elves.

Priestley thought, leaning against a bookshelf, pulling out a spell written in Elven language, and continuing the topic, "Jane, I see that Hines is the only one left in your eyes, and I don't know that anyone loves you." ”

"Huh?" Jian Lu looked at him blankly.

Priestley stood up elegantly and was about to say something to irritate the man who was even more aloof than his elf, when suddenly a thick book was inserted between the two of them.

"Jane, aren't you going to pick some rice crackers before you go? Now that I'm free, let's go. Hines's smiling face appeared in front of them, and he glanced faintly at Priestley.

Jian Lu remembered that he had told Hines yesterday, and immediately said, "Okay, let's go now." Then after saying goodbye to Priestley, he went away with Hines.

Priestley stood there, watching the two of them leave, glancing back at the blonde boy with a sharp look, and couldn't help but sigh, seeing Hines's protective behavior, he was in a bad mood, and he didn't want to say anything.

The haughty elf put the elven spell back on the bookshelf and walked out of the library in a disheartened mood, intending to go to the stupid orc for a smoking.

*****

The harvest season of rice crackers is spring and autumn, and now it happens to be spring, which is the harvest season.

It took the two of them three magic spells to reach the valley where rice crackers grow.

In front of the valley is the territory of a group of salamanders, and the range of their lives is precisely in the middle of the intersection, and at this time, it is time for Hines to make a move.

Hines descended from the sky and landed in front of the group of salamanders who were full of food and drink and were fighting with the goblins, under the staring of the flaming red eyes of the salamanders who were suddenly startled, he slowly pulled out the magic sword on his back, and the magic sword burst into flame-like fighting energy, and the salamanders were startled again, and then, the magic sword slashed forward, and the golden fighting qi dragged out a piece of golden light.

The sound of si-la rang out, leaving a blackened trail on the ground, emitting a scorching smell, like the smell of the earth being roasted.

The limited brain capacity of the salamanders finally remembered the ferocity of this two-legged animal again, and they were so frightened that they wilted, and with a wail, their powerful limbs quickly rolled to the side to make way for him.

Salamander is a fire-attribute monster, the temper is the most hot, until one autumn, someone fell from the sky - in fact, it jumped down from a big tree on the side, and it was a burst of slashing at them, that kind of golden fighting spirit made them suffer for a while, and they were abused so much that they didn't want to be abused, and all the hot tempers were abused, and they could only give way with tears.

It seems that every spring and autumn, this person will run over to abuse them, if it is other humans, the salamanders are not afraid at all, but as soon as they smell the breath of this person's fighting spirit and burn, the salamanders can only wilt.

Jian Lu jumped down from the tree and watched the group of salamanders jumping away like frightened bunnies, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. No matter how many times I see it, I still feel very happy, which is why every year when I come to the valley to pick rice crackers, I will come with Hines, as long as Hines has the fighting spirit, you can enter the valley without any effort.

In the valley, there is a lush, tall tree, hidden among the green leaves is a brown shell, shaped like a winter melon-like fruit, the small one weighs three or four pounds, and the large one weighs seven or eight pounds, which means that it is ripe and ready to be picked.

Every time the miracle of nature is displayed in front of human beings, it often causes human beings to marvel and think. Jian Lu was also amazed by this unscientific fruit, and reached out to pick a fruit with a cracked mouth, and he could see that the solid and full grains inside were in a semi-dry state, looking like round pearl rice.

Jian Lu's way of picking is very simple, standing under the tree, controlling dozens of light blades to shuttle between the leaves, and when those rice crackers fall off to the ground, a light net is netted, and the last summoning technique is used to get them in front of him, which is really time-saving and labor-saving.

This lazy method looks simple, but it took Jian Lu a year to control the magic power to such a delicate place, constantly changing the magic spell and controlling it to the smallest detail, which made him work hard. Therefore, picking rice crackers is also a way for Jian Lu to refine his magic power.

After two spells, Jian Lu plucked a batch of ripe rice crackers, and then sat down with Hines in a shady place to prepare lunch.

Lunch is a kind of squirrel that Hines went hunting in the valley but has an elephant trunk monster, its meat is very chewy, naturally with a * taste, Hines has a soft spot for it, every time he comes, this kind of monster has to lose a cub.

Hines barbecue, Jian Lu boiled soup, which is put in the bones of this unlucky monster, the boiled soup is thick and white and fragrant, and there is also a faint milky fragrance, which can relieve the oiliness of the barbecue.

"Jane, what did Priestley say to you when you were in the library earlier?" Hines seemed to be casually authentic.

Jian Lu's eyes stared at the pot of soup, his mind was not on his words, and he said casually: "Oh, I told him that I want to go to the Elven Forest if I have time...... By the way, he said that there were people at school who loved me, but I never found out about it, probably because he was joking. ”

Hines's face instantly turned gloomy.

Of course, this is not a joke, but Hines excluded all those who have a love for Jian Lu, plus Jian Lu is immersed in learning, coming and going in a hurry, and he doesn't give people a chance at all, so he doesn't find out. In the past, he was very happy that Jian Lu was dedicated to learning, and now they will participate in the Demon Martial Arts Exchange Competition in the Olawen Continent, and at that time, more people will definitely come into contact with him, and then they will like him.

In fact, as long as you get to know Jian Lu, it is easy to find that he himself is not as difficult to get close to as that exquisite appearance, but is quite easy to get along with, and knows how to take care of people, is very reliable, and is very easy to make people fall in love.

Seeing that the soup was cooked, Jian Lu extinguished the fire, and when he looked up, he happened to see Hines's gloomy expression, and said strangely: "What's wrong?" ”

Hines subconsciously smiled brightly at him, "It's nothing. ”

"Really?" Jian Lu attaches great importance to his cultivation of his three views, so he is worried that his negligence will make his three views crooked.

And he didn't know that it was he who paid so much attention to what would make it easier for Hines to fall.

"Really." Hines said in a low voice: "I just think Taylor is right, you will have a partner soon, even if it is a brother ......" may be separated for various reasons in the future.

"It's impossible." He still has to go home, how can he possibly find a partner?

"Why?"

"There is no why!"

When he said this, his expression was particularly cold and stern, and Heinston was stunned.

The feeling that Jian Lu gave him was actually gentle, even if his appearance and temperament inadvertently gave people an unapproachable feeling, it would not hide his essential characteristics, but at this moment, Jian Lu's mood was obviously a little bad, which made his expression a little cold.
