Chapter 6: Unpleasant Encounters

After the last assassination, Princess Mo Xue was so frightened that she was in a panic all day long, and she specially sent a message to the Emperor of Western Chu to send guards, and she hid in the carriage all day long and couldn't come out.

For her situation, she was happy to see it, and even felt a little grateful to those who came to assassinate her, in her eyes, Mo Xue was much more terrifying than those killers who came openly.

"Brother Long Tian, do you know where these killers came from?" After a few days of silence, Carefree finally asked the question in his heart.

Listening to her words, Long Tian's brows furrowed even tighter, he had been secretly investigating the origin of this killer for the past few days, but every time he found any clues, he would be cut off by an invisible hand, and he could never find the black hand behind the scenes.

After pondering for a moment, Long Tian shook his head: "I don't know the way, but I can be sure that those are from the Western Chu Empire." ”

"Oh~~~ Xichu? Who in Xichu wants my life? ”

Thinking of the brand obtained from the killer leader, Worry-free knew that Long Tian's guess was correct, and he was quite helpless when he thought of the black hand behind him.

Hey, why are you always involved in those inexplicable battles?

Sighing in his heart, Wuwu simply closed his eyes and had no intention of speaking again.

The carriage creaked over the stone pavement, opened the door, and Sanssouci had entered the magical city of Ernst.

This is what sets Ernst apart from other cities, as it is the territory of the Ernst Academy of Magic. Here you can see noble magicians, as well as powerful fighters. This city of heroes has always been noble, so there are no ragged beggars or loud hawkers on the streets, everything is so orderly.

Looking at everything in front of her in amazement, the things here were really completely different from what she had seen in the world outside before. The gray-white masonry of the city was lined with towering mage towers and strange buildings, and passers-by were either robed mages or fighters with large swords, and occasionally a few pedestrians in other costumes.

Seeing all this, Carefree suddenly became inexplicably excited, for her, this is a place to find strength.

It turned out that as early as half a month ago, Wu Wu opened the book of the mage when she had nothing to do one day, which is also a kind of irony, this book that once killed her was a turning point at this time.

Because of the blow of the fake carefree, she lost her magic and fighting spirit, but she didn't expect that this ancient mage book brought her a new opportunity.

That's right, those contents that could only understand the basics, too esoteric, and obscure, under her careful research, have made new discoveries, and now she has successfully advanced to a junior magician, and there are faint signs of advancement, but she has been stuck on that hurdle for a month, so she pinned her hopes on the Ernst School of Magic.

The ancient and magical Book of Mages could only be deciphered by an equally ancient magic academy, and only then could she hope to regain her former strength.

"Brother Long Tian, you go find a place to live first, I want to go shopping alone." Looking at the endless stream of people, Wuwu had such an idea.

"I'll go with you! I'm not worried about you alone, after all" Long Tian didn't say the words later, but he knew what he meant.

Shaking his head slightly, his carefree expression was a little firm, leaving a sentence that I wanted to walk alone and disappear into the crowd.

The sun is setting, the evening afterglow illuminates the sky red, and the back of the carefree is becoming more and more lonely, looking at the endless flow of people, worry-free is in the game, but always feels out of place, Long Tian wants to keep up, but still gives up.

After separating from Long Tian, Carefree had the opportunity to take a closer look at the city, and with a curious gaze, Carefree walked around.

Most of the streets are filled with shops selling weapons and medicines, as well as taverns and inns, which is a bit like Twilight, which is a base for mercenaries, and is indeed a cradle for magicians and fighters.

"Ouch", just as she was wandering aimlessly, with a bang, a figure crashed towards her, caught off guard, and Carefree was knocked to the ground, fortunately, although she lost her fighting spirit, the fighter's physique did not disappear, so it was only slightly painful, and she was not injured.

Stretched out his hand to dust off his body, and his brows frowned slightly.

"Alas, it hurts me." The other party was not so lucky, covering his nose and began to moan, and his forehead was already red. Fortunately, neither side was an adult, and the force of the impact was not great, and the other party also sat up from the ground after a while.

Worry-free, this is the opportunity to take a closer look at the person who hit him.

The boy in front of him is the same age as himself, but because of the girl's early development, he is shorter than Sanssouc, he doesn't look handsome, but he is very sunny, and he feels like a brother next door.

The outfit on his body is very ordinary, like an ordinary fighter, but the most remarkable thing is the two pets around him, one is a big white dog, which looks very fierce, but he doesn't look at his owner when he sees him fall to the ground, Tian has a bone, and he doesn't even bark, and the other is a crow parked on the back of a big dog, which is carefully combing the dog's hair, and occasionally makes a "quack" noise, just occasionally rolling his eyes, indicating that this crow is not ordinary.

The boy stood up and saw that he had bumped into a girl like Worry-free, although he was a little injured, he couldn't say anything, but because he couldn't hit Worry-free, he was a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry..."

The two of them spoke at the same time, and when they saw each other saying the same thing as themselves, they were stunned for a moment.

"My bad."

"Your bad!"

The boy apologized, and the worry-free mood was not very good, so he simply put the blame on the other party after being polite. The young man didn't expect the girl who was still quiet just now to become so rude, and her face was a little embarrassed. The dog and the crow next to him were still standing there stupidly, watching their owners being bullied.

The boy scratched his head, showed a harmless smile, groped for something in his pocket with both hands, and after a while, took out a small gadget from his pocket, a large disc with intricate lines and line marks engraved on the bottom, and a pointer hanging on it, which was shaking slightly.

The boy was a little curious when he saw Carefree looking at this thing, and explained.

"It's the magic compass, just say where you want to go and it will show you the way! Give it to you, try it! ”

As he spoke, he handed the gadgets in his hand to Carefree, who originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the young man's clear eyes, he agreed by surprise. He took the compass with one hand and reported the name of the hotel where Long Tian was, and sure enough, the pointer on the compass began to rotate, and after a while, it stopped in the corresponding direction.

This little gadget is so interesting, Carefree suddenly fell in love with it, how long has it been since she showed such an innocent smile, as if she had forgotten all the pain when she met this teenager.

The young man also saw the carefree love, smiled slightly, and said loudly, "I gave it to you, just keep it if you like it, this is very useful." ”

Seeing that the boy actually gave himself such a fun thing, Carefree was embarrassed to continue to be angry, put on a detached smile, and then waved his hand to show that there was nothing wrong. The boy shrugged his shoulders and led the dog and the crow away, no one noticing the wicked smile on his face.

Sanssouci continued to wander around Ernst, time flew by, and it was getting dark soon, and then Sanssouci remembered to join Long Tian, took out the magic compass that the boy had given him, and reported the name of the hotel.

As soon as he finished speaking, the hands of the magic compass began to turn, and then slowly stopped, and the most pointer pointed to the right side of Wuwu.

"Well, it's on the right!" Without raising his head, he walked in the direction of the pointer.

Two hours passed, and it was already dark, and Carefree still couldn't find his way back to the hotel with the compass. At this time, even if he was carefree and stupid, he found out that the magic compass that the boy gave him was wrong.

Thinking of this, the little affection for the boy in Wuwu's heart disappeared again, and the atrium that was finally opened was tightly closed, and it returned to the indifferent girl.

Throwing the compass to the ground casually as if throwing garbage, carefree left without the slightest nostalgia, leaving only the lonely compass pointer still trembling slightly, as if crying about the ruthlessness of the owner.

The lights on the streets are getting dimmer and dimmer, and the weather in early spring is a little cold, so I walk the streets alone without worry. The cooing sound in her stomach made her very uncomfortable, she regretted a little why she left Long Tian alone, and remembered the little boy who deceived her, and there was a faint disappointment in her heart, remembering that it was just a stranger, and then she was relieved.

Just strolling around like this, in the second half of the night, there was still no hotel where Long Tian lived, and just when she was about to be discouraged, she suddenly saw someone she didn't want to see.

In the far corner, a man was sleeping with a dog in his arms, and because of the cold weather, his nose was still making the sound of nasal congestion when he had a cold. At this time, I was soaking my mouth and sleeping so soundly. Isn't that the person who hates him without worry.

Seeing the young man, carefree walked past the young man without the slightest expression, as if he had never met him.

"Brother Worry-free, I've finally found you! Although he knew that Wuwu was a girl, Long Tian still unconsciously shouted out the familiar name again, his face was full of melancholy, and he seemed to be a little panting, obviously he had been running to find Wuwu.

"I'm fine, let's go back!" Seeing Long Tian's appearance, Carefree and cold face softened a little, and nodded towards him.

Looking at Wuwu's frowning eyebrows, Long Tianzhi said that she must be in a bad mood, so she didn't say anything at the moment, and walked away on Wuwu's shoulder.

When the two walked away, the young man on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the distant back and lost his mind, he didn't know why he felt lost, sighed slightly, stroked the pet in his arms and whispered: "Worry-free?" We'll see you again~~~"
