Chapter 9: Alice the Witch

The secret realm of Naraku, the soul capital.

The top floor of the Mage's Tower.

An old man with a white beard sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and suddenly opened his eyes suddenly, and his old eyes, which should have been dim, looked shining.

"It's finally here?"

He closed his eyes again, as if nothing had happened.

……

"Liang Wei, look here!"

Zuo Xuan dragged Liang Wei's arm and walked all over the street, at this time she was completely carefree and lively, and she couldn't imagine that she was fighting a terrifying demon with a two-meter-long giant sword wielding like the wind an hour ago.

"Okay, you go slowly, I can't keep up." Liang Wei helplessly watched Zuo Xuan enter a shop that sold enchanted weapons again, picked up a hammer nearly three meters long and fiddled with it - but in terms of hobbies, Zuo Xuan couldn't keep up with ordinary girls in her life, who had ever seen a sixteen-year-old girl who loved heavy weapons as if she loved dolls?

Just when Liang Wei was shopping with Zuo Xuan, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the crowded street. Liang Wei looked curiously in the direction of the horse's hooves, he hadn't seen a horse up close when he was so big.

When he saw the "horse" and the knight on its back, Liang Wei was speechless in shock.

It was a tall, black horse, with a sturdy physique, and its mane and hooves were made of flames. Every time its four hooves step on the ground, it emits a flaming horseshoe print, like a terrifying creature from hell.

And the "rider" on its back is incompatible with this fierce horse. It was a girl who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and her facial features were as beautiful as a dream, like an elf coming out of a fairyland. Liang Wei felt that his breathing was about to stop because of her.

The girl wore a European-style classical court dress and a pointed wizard's hat on her head. Her golden hair was scattered behind her head, fluttering as the horses galloped, and the picture was as beautiful as a dream.

Liang Wei didn't realize that he had blocked her way at this time, but stood in the middle of the road in a daze. The girl glared at Liang Wei viciously, and shouted angrily: "Get out of the way!" It's in the way! ”

Although the tone was very polite, Liang Wei was still fascinated by the girl's beautiful voice. So he stood in the middle of the road with a big sting, acting nymphomaniac, and ignored the girl's warnings.

The four-hoofed flame steed neighed, almost clinging to Liang Wei's scalp. Liang Wei woke up like a dream.

The maiden and her steed drifted away. And from the direction from which she had come staggered a knight in half-body armor with his face covered tightly, and his dark red armor seemed to match the flaming steed.

It's just that this knight, who should be imposing, looked quite embarrassed at this time, most of the armor on his body was not properly dressed, and he didn't even carry the knight's iconic spear.

Liang Wei watched the embarrassed knight chase in the direction where the girl rode away, and probably guessed eighty percent in his heart.

"Yo, 'Witch' Alice is in the process again." Zuo Xuan walked out of the shop with a brand-new giant sword in his hand, and put the sword on his shoulder very domineeringly, "The object of being teased this time is the 'Silent Knight' Roger, it's really interesting." It's a pity that I couldn't see the face under Roger's helmet, and it was said that he should be a beautiful man. ”

"Alice? The girl's name? Liang Wei nodded thoughtfully. At this time, thinking back to Alice's temperament, the title of "witch" is really suitable for her.

"What, you have a crush on someone?" Zuo Xuan laughed, "There used to be many people who wanted to pursue her, but almost all of them were teased and scared by Alice, so this stunning beauty on the list has always been single until now." ”

Liang Wei shrugged. Let's not talk about whether the other party looks down on him, even if he can catch up, the character of the "witch" is really unbearable for him. Or can only be seen from a distance, not blasphemed.

Zuo Xuan waved the giant sword in his hand: "I've had enough shopping today, let's go back to Clover headquarters." Just enough to take you to the report. ”

Liang Wei nodded in agreement.

Shamrock is one of Naraku's famous mercenary organizations, and it is home to many solitary exorcists. The advantage of joining a large organization is that you can better find a partner who can cooperate with each other, and often the same mission is an exorcist from the same organization. However, Zuo Xuan and Andrew are an exception, they are very coincidentally similar in the human city, and then they become regular mission partners. Before this, Zuo Xuan had always been alone, in her words: "This beautiful girl doesn't need a partner, she only needs herself." ”

"However, you ended up with Andrew as a partner, don't you think you've been slapped in the face?" Liang Wei retorted unceremoniously.

"As a lone warrior, you still need a priest to follow behind and add blood." Zuo Xuan was confident, "I am the core of the team, and Andrew's comic is only responsible for logistics and being a mascot." ”

Liang Wei has reservations about whether Andrew is unhelpful in combat, but he agrees that Andrew is a successful mascot.

Shamrock's headquarters is located in the Soul City, and you only need to walk through an alley next to the main street to see a large signboard with a shamrock pattern painted on it.

"Well, here, here." Zuo Xuan pointed to this low house with a Nordic style, "Don't look at the headquarters so small, in fact, there is a very advanced space folding technology inside." After all, although Naraku has a vast territory, all the exorcists in the entire human world have to build a stronghold here, and a large mercenary group like Clover can only choose to use space folding technology to expand the area of the headquarters. ”

Liang Wei didn't have any opinions, even if it was only as narrow as it seemed on the surface, it was much better than the garbage disposal station he interviewed earlier.

They stepped into what looked like a tavern more than a stronghold, and as soon as they pushed the door open, a cacophony came from inside. Liang Wei couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.

"This door is engraved with soundproofing magic," Zuo Xuan looked very excited when she returned to the familiar stronghold, and her pretty face was dyed with a layer of red, "Our Shamrock was originally a tavern, and it gradually developed into a large mercenary group later. Don't be inhibited, the people here are very approachable. ”

Liang Wei silently glanced at a bearded man who was obviously drunk and the strong Schwarzenegger-like muscles on his arms, and ignored Zuo Xuan's words.

Shamrock looks like a retro European-style pub, with a chubby middle-aged man standing behind the bar. He was pouring a golden ale for a drinker, and he looked very cute. There are all kinds of people around the drinkers, some dressed like mercenaries who are ready to go to slay dragons, and some are in suits and leather shoes, looking like white-collar elites. You can even see the inhuman races you've seen on the streets before, such as elves and dwarves. Liang Wei even saw a short green-skinned goblin sleeping on the table.

"I had the illusion that I had crossed over." LIANG WEI FELT A LITTLE OUT OF PLACE IN THE ENVIRONMENT, "EITHER ON A COSPLAY SET...... Oh my God, is that minotaur really having horns on his head? ”

Zuo Xuan smiled and held Liang Wei's arm, and then lowered his voice and said in his ear: "I'll take you to see the head of our clover, don't look at him as amazing, he is actually an S-level super exorcist." ”

Saying that, Zuo Xuan dragged him to the side of the bar, and then said to the amiable fat boss: "Uncle Wang, I brought a friend." He's a newcomer to our Shamrock. ”

The fat man known as Uncle Wang smiled happily: "It's Xuan'er." Come, I'll treat you to two dwarven stouts. It's been a long time since we've had a newcomer in Clover, so welcome. ”

Liang Wei politely accepted the beer brought by Uncle Wang, and couldn't help but be surprised by this chubby middle-aged man. Obviously he looks like an ordinary middle-aged fat uncle, but he is the only S-class exorcist he has seen so far. He greeted respectfully: "Hello Uncle Wang, my name is Liang Wei." ”

Uncle Wang's hand holding the beer was suddenly stunned, and he looked at Liang Wei with some surprise.
