The fire had been extinguished, but the charred houses were no longer inhabitable, and the few who remained behind had lit bonfires in the ruins of the village, and the tide rattled in the darkness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before dusk, the surviving villagers were evacuated under the protection of the disciples of the Wind Channel, which was naturally arranged by Yong'en. Yasuo sat alone on the reef behind the low tide, the moonlight flowing through his flowing black hair, and he stared at the silhouette of the pirate ship in the dark night, like a wandering warrior who had lost his opponent, looking lonely at his opponent in the distance.

After the death of the master, many people felt that Yongen was more suitable for the position of the owner of the gym, but Yongen rejected it, because only his younger brother, who inherited the sword skills of the wind, should take over this gym.

The only thing he worries about is his brother's withdrawn personality, he seems to have kept secrets with everyone, and he has never really opened his heart since he was a child.

And next year will be the third year of the funeral for the master, and Yasuo will become the new master of the hall and recruit disciples. But he didn't seem to have that kind of interest, so he just spread out the mental sword technique left by the master in front of the disciples, and said lightly: "It's all here." ”

Anyway, comprehension depends on talent, and what kind of achievement can be achieved in the end depends on one's own understanding. The sword trick is there, those who can understand it can learn it, and those who can't understand it will point out this time, next time I'm afraid it will be difficult to comprehend it by yourself, martial arts is always limited by bottlenecks, and only by breaking through the bottleneck can we reach a new realm and advance by leaps and bounds.

Yasuo's idea is not wrong, but the gym must give people more opportunities to prosper.

A few people by the fire, Rui Wen, a messenger sent by Starfall Town, a traveling mage who calls himself Reginad, and one is the bewitching nine-tailed demon fox.

The elder had already fallen asleep, and the elder of Fengyu Village, a kind old man, insisted that they escort all the surviving villagers away first, and leave last by themselves. After a busy day, he finally fell asleep, and just now he was in high spirits, saying that he was not sleepy, and that he had seen such a posture when he was young, when there was a mysterious swordsman, with a flying blade, scared off the pace of pirate raids.

Now he fell asleep like those old legends, his pale temples reflecting the luster of years in the flickering light of the fire. Rui Wen looked at the sleeping old man with mixed feelings, and helped the elder cover the blanket.

"Wait until dawn, I will work with your Dao Pavilion Master, and bring a few more hall experts to escort the elders to Starfall Town, and I will also be on an errand." Rui Wen proposed, her voice was a little neutral, like a teenager who had not changed her voice yet, so Yongen always thought that she was a boy with a beautiful face, "Second brother, you and Ahri are here to block a little bit to prevent the pirates from landing, the old man walks slowly, try to buy some time." ”

"Well, the Blastwind Gym will also provide manpower. Speaking of which, my younger brother Yasuo is the master of the Gym, but he told me that he wants to stay and kill the enemy, and if he catches up with us, I will temporarily take over his escort duties. ”

"No problem." Rui Wen said, "Then I'll leave it to the second brother here." ”

Reginad nodded, and Ahri sat aside, his fingers curling his hair, "So, this is a battle between humans for territory?" ”

"Uh...... Presumably they just want to plunder. ”

"I've always thought humans are very different, but now I think it's just that they say it differently." Ahri hugged her knees, her feet in red and white soft shoes roasted by the fire, and the soles of her feet felt warm and comfortable.

"Why?" Reginard asked.

"They follow their instincts and do the same beast-like thing. In order to fight for living space, to fight for dominance, constantly, people kill people. It's just that they don't have claws or fangs, so they use swords, firearms, and magic, so they look graceful when they kill. ”

"Man is also a beast, and his instinct is to teach him to survive by any means necessary. But man has a heart. Ahri's eyes lit up when Reginald spoke the word heart, and she stared into Reginald's eyes to read the word she didn't understand. Man has a heart, so the more the beast acts, the more painful it becomes, so that everything will not be subject to instinct. ”

Ahri looked at him with those amber eyes, and her mouth was half open in some surprise at the answer, as if something was surging deep in her pupils, like a whispering tide not far away.

When he said this, Rui Wen also looked at him, her eyes were deep, this boyish girl seemed very distant at this moment.

Ahri broke the heaviness of the topic: "Anyway, as long as the pirate leader named Planck dies, it's all over, right?" ”

"That's how it should be." Yon said uncertainly.

"Then I'll deal with him." Ahri blinked, her sweet words flowing from the air to the end, but she heard a "zheng", a short, rapid hum, and she held the hilt of the knife in her backhand, and the knife was drawn from the sheath she hung at her waist with an ominous meaning.

The leather scabbard around her waist was sewn by Irelia, who had sheathed her brother Zeros since she was a child, and watched as the boy who had been waving branches as a child grew into the qualified warrior he is today, joining the army and becoming a member of the Ionian Guard. It was the first time to make a scabbard for someone other than my brother, and the delicate scabbard was embroidered with a beautiful pattern.

The knife originally belonged to Taylor. The man with a forbearance, a knife-like gaze. On weekdays, the edge is hidden in a deep sheath and is not exposed.

She simply took a handful after dodging the sneak attack, and she didn't plan to return him, but she didn't expect it to come in handy this time-

Although her orb is powerful, it is much slower to take people's lives after all, and the knife is very direct.

"Will it work?" Reginad looked at her, and his eyes quickly reflected a bright amber color.

"Don't you believe me?"

Such cross-examination makes it impossible to ask any more questions.

So the moon rose higher, and the sound of the flames burning made people feel drowsy, and Reginald still had some doubts in his heart, although this demon fox had a very unique secret method, it was still a mystery whether he could kill the famous Planck.

Planck "Black Sail" is notorious for his murder, and the pirates of Bilgewater are afraid of his prestige and have to avoid him in everything, and even this time they came to Ionia to plunder, and the vanguard was mostly from other pirate ships, while Planck's elite was recuperated on the big ship and anchored in the eastern waters of Ionia. There are countless pirates who want to kill him, and the bounty on Planck's head in the black market has soared year after year.

Outside of Bilgewater, there are more people in the Valoran continent who want to get rid of him, Ionia has little contact with the outside world, and the precious tea and spices are exported very little every year, so they are also extremely rare, but Planck's presence makes most of the merchant ships enter his greedy stomach, so he is also called the "plague of the sea".

But Planck still crisscrosses the seas and enjoys the dignity of the overlord, and there must be something powerful about him.

He thought about it, but his consciousness gradually sank into darkness, and the sound of burning fire hypnotized in his ears, and soon everything sank into chaos.

This is a side effect of that power, and this chaotic landscape is the future, and the more vague things become, the more distant they are, the more they are pulled into uncertain shapes by many variables (called karma in Ionian culture).

In the midst of the chaos, he saw the man again.

He was dressed in a black coat and held a fierce sword that drank human blood, and the cloak behind him was bright red as blood, and like a flame dancing behind him. All around was an assura field, with blood, corpses, fallen flags, flames burning the house, and charred beams shattering and falling off, making a sound of force pulling and collapsing.

"You're finally here, Reginard."

He woke up suddenly, and at that moment, in the fire in front of him, the crackling sound of the firewood fire became rapid, like thousands of explosive bombs exploding in it, and the flames rose to the height of more than one person.

The people around them were all asleep deeply, and no one saw that above the fire curtain that was separated by it, there was still a purple pupil that passed through the fire curtain.

His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, the flames returned to their original shape, he added firewood to it, and the snoring of several people around him was steady, the only thing affected was the firewood that was consumed too quickly in an instant.

He glanced around, and Ahri's sleeping bag (Rui: No, this thing is mine) was empty.

Could it be......

He closed his eyes and sensed that it had never been difficult to follow her breath, and soon relented, and he got up and walked towards the woods near the village. The trees are like a wall that absorbs sound, keeping the sound of the waves out of the back.

The scent was very close, with some indescribable aroma floating faintly in the air.

Someone appeared behind him, suddenly, without warning. The clear blue light faded from the cunning phantom, beautiful, but with a hint of chill.

Han Mang swiped slightly, a short knife was held upside down by a Qianqianyu hand, resting on his neck, and the other hand covered his mouth, but it was an extremely professional action, and the nine-tailed blooming phantom behind him chuckled, happily revealing a pair of small tiger teeth:

"No, yes, move."
