Chapter Twenty-Four: I Have One Condition
When he opened his eyes again, it was already very bright outside, and the soft sunlight shone into his pupils, an indescribable comfort, Lan Che got used to it for a while, and when he was about to get up, he saw a skeleton hanging his head and sneakily digging in his pocket......
"Damn, you pervert, what are you doing!"
Theseus was taken aback, glared at Lan Che with a red face, and stretched out two fingers......
Lan Che shook his head speechlessly, knowing that this thing was looking for cigarettes, he stretched his waist, the bones of his body made a cat-like stunting sound, and he didn't know how long he had been unconscious, his eyes quickly glanced around, this was a closed hole, everyone was asleep, and their faces were full of exhaustion.
Unable to bear to wake up, Lan Che took off his coat and gently covered the two girls who were snuggling up to each other, then gave Xius a look and walked towards the cave.
But just two steps, something suddenly slipped on your chest?
Lan Che was stunned, and in the blink of an eye, Xius had stretched out two slender fingers to clamp it - an egg?
The pale yellow shell, only the size of a goose egg, was in the sunlight, and I could vaguely see a black thing inside, and it was still moving from time to time.
"This is?" Xius looked at the egg in his palm, and Lan Che on the side also wondered, when did he carry an egg in his arms?
His brain was racing fast, his memory fragments were reassembled, and what suddenly came to his mind?
In the second of the explosion, he touched a round thing! Could it be that this thing is the mysterious power in the mouth of the soul?!
Lan Che was overjoyed, snatched the egg, took a sip of it, quickly stuffed it into his arms, and glared at Xiusi with a stingy look: "This is my baby!
Theseus shrugged, whatever you want......
For the sake of safety, the two stopped under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the cave and began to rest.
Through the dense shade of the trees, the direct sunlight shone down, and the mottled shadows of the trees glowed with the breath of nature, Lan Che found a pile of leaves to dry, then picked a few pieces of bark, skillfully rolled a few cigars, took one in his own mouth, and handed one to Xius.
The chimney was lying comfortably under the tree, smoking beautifully, and looking satisfied.
Even the clouds in the sky became lazy, floating overhead and reluctant to leave, forming a natural shade for the two of them.
"Lan Che, there is something I have to tell you. Hughes looked at the fiery cigarette butt and muttered.
"Oh, you say, I'll listen. Lan Che leaned over and looked at him with his head propped up.
Xiuth sat up and thought for a moment, his expression becoming serious, and he told Lan Che all the bonds between himself and Leona, including the demon eye of Horyath and the curse on the banshee's dagger.
When Lan Che listened, he found that the arm that supported him was already numb, and the cigarette on his fingertips burned only a cigarette butt, because of the shock, he didn't move at all from beginning to end.
That calm heart also turned up in an instant, what is this Demon Eye? It will make two ghost powerhouses, one become a soul and the other into a skeleton, but they still have to swear to eradicate it? Is it really that terrifying? Now, where are those broken Demon Eyes on the continent? And where is the soon-to-awaken Horyas? The mission of the ghost clan is so cruelly based on a love.
Poignant, heroic.
Other than that, Lan Che couldn't find any other words to describe it, but he felt a depression in his chest, and he looked at the extinguished cigarette butt, as if his heart was also darkened.
"Lan Che?" Theseus suddenly spoke, "Can you tell me about the curse?"
Lan Che nodded: "You mean, you have to stay with me, otherwise the curse will be triggered and you will be wiped out, right?"
Xius nodded, he didn't continue, but waited for Lan Che's answer.
"Of course you can!" Lan Che replied without thinking, "However, I have one condition. β
"Oh?" said Hughes, squinting slightly.
Lan Che thought for a while, and held his chin: "How can I say it, I'm not very good at talking, in my heart, liking is liking, disliking is disliking, it's a very painful thing for two people who love each other not to be together, although in the end, you have both found the original cause, and you understand each other, but so what? Obviously, you love deeply, but now you are not alone? So, to be honest, Xiusi, I am a little unwilling, but I have an unrealistic idea. I know that your destiny is to find the Demon Eye, and likewise, I have my own mission, perhaps not as grand as you, but I hope that while we travel together, we can try to find a way to resurrect Leona. This world has brought me too many shocks, I believe that as long as you don't give up, Leona will be waiting for you!"
When Lan Che finished speaking, he slowly raised his head to look at Xiuz, only to see a face that he would never forget. In the arrogant ghost king Xiusi, an expression that only appears once in a lifetime.
Surprised, expectant, moved, and thanks.
The expression froze for a few seconds, and then turned into a faint smile: "Stupid, how can it be so easy." β
"Cut! don't do how you know, really. Lan Che glanced at Theseus, ignored him, and went back to stocking up on cigars.
While he was busy with his work, he asked, "Xius, are you all skeletons of the ghost clan?"
These words amused Xius: "Oh, how is it possible, in this continent, only the secret magic spell of the Leona family can resurrect skeletons, I bet you will never see a second talking skeleton except me." β
"Damn, isn't this the end of the calf?!, are you going to follow me like this?" Lan Che exclaimed.
"Of course not, each of my bones is linked with soul power, which can be separated freely, or it can be regrown under the prompting of soul power. After saying that, Xius naturally took his head off with a "pop": "You see, it's that easy, so I'll just attach every bone to you." β
Lan Che looked at Xiusi with a wide face, and it took a long time for a word to pop up: "Mouth..."
"By the way, Lan Che, I've always been curious, why haven't I sensed your spiritual power, have you been hiding your strength?" asked Xiusi suspiciously.
"Hidden strength?haha!" Lan Che scratched his head embarrassedly: "To be honest, I really don't know anything." β
"So you're an ordinary person?"
"yes!"
"Could it be that after so many years, this continent no longer needs the strength to rule?"
"Of course not, the world now is no different from when you were asleep, they all speak with strength, by the way, let me tell you-" Speaking of this, Lan Che deliberately lowered his voice, his gaze became mysterious, and even Xiusi couldn't help but sit up straight in seriousness.
"I'm the prince of Goodbai!
Oh, I see, he's the son of a nation! No wonder......
Xiusi took the cigarette and began to keep thinking about some magnificent scenes of thousands of troops, as a prince, he naturally knew the status and rights of the son of a country, and couldn't help but have a faint identification with Lan Che.
"By the way, Xius, what is the soul power you just mentioned?" Lan Che asked rhetorically.
"You don't know about soul power?" Xiu Si was a little surprised, he thought about it, maybe because Lan Che was just an ordinary person, and he didn't think about it anymore, so he explained: "Soul power, it can also be called spiritual power, mana, combat power, etc., and the different names of each profession are also different. For example, a magician, the source of mana is called a magic root, a summoner, the source of spiritual power is called a spiritual root, and we swordsmen are called a soul root, which is the source of releasing magic, strengthening oneself, and exerting skills, and everyone has only one root, and most people don't even have it. The stronger the root, the higher the accompanying professional level, and the more difficult the path of cultivation will become. A strong person must not only have good skills and weapons, but also have extremely high talent. So in this mixed continent, there is no strongest, only stronger!"
Lan Che nodded thoughtfully: "Xiusi, so to speak, the existence of the 'root' has nothing to do with the race, it is innate because of talent?"
"That's right, just like you, you could be a Terran magician, or you could be a human warrior. Each race has a different type of profession due to the different attributes of its roots. β
"Oh! That's interesting! If it's the same profession and different races, it depends on the bloodline differences between the races and the cultivation techniques!"
"Yes, good comprehension. β
"Naxius, what is your professional level?"
Xiusi took a faint puff of his cigarette: "Seventh-level sword demon." β
"What?!" Lan Che exclaimed.
This reaction startled Theseus: "What...... What's wrong? You know?"
Lan Che shook his head decisively: "I don't know, what is a sword demon?"
"I don't know what you're yelling at!"
"Match the atmosphere of a ha. β
β......β
Xiusi sighed speechlessly and waved his hand: "You sit down, I'll popularize it for you again." β
"Yes!" Lan Che moved his ass and leaned over.
"I practice swordsmanship, a total of three orders. The ninth level of the same is called the first order, called the swordsman, and after breaking through, it is promoted to the second order, and it is called the sword demon. After the ninth level of the second order is fully upgraded again, it will break through to the third order, and it will be a heaven-destroying existence-Sword Soul!"
Hearing this, Lan Che really felt a little shocked, Flying Duck had told him that his father was a second-level warrior, so after that, Xiusi fell to his father by a full fourteen ranks, oh my God...... Dad, you're too vegetable, aren't you?
"Naxius, if the third-order sword soul breaks through again, what will it become?"
"Huh?" Xius stared at the two round black holes, his face full of surprise: "You say, break through the third order again?!"
"Uh-huh!" Lan Che nodded.
"Hahahaha!" Xiu Si slapped his thigh and laughed, it seemed that the last time he laughed, it was thousands of years ago, he looked at Lan Che's serious expression, and suddenly felt full of joy, obviously he was an ordinary person, and he fantasized about breaking through the third order, hahahaha!
Xiusi was happy for a long time, and slowly eased his breath: "Lan Che, en... Let's put it this way, in my memory, there has only been one third-order powerhouse. β
"Oh, who is he?" Lan Che asked curiously, sticking his head out.
Xiusi cleared his throat, as if he was about to read out some important news, his voice became clearer, he sat up straight, looked at Lan Che seriously, and said word by word: "Sea King-Xi Zhilang!"
"Poofββ!
Lao Tzu day, you are an immortal.
Lan Che's teeth were about to laugh, it was difficult for him, no, he couldn't associate these two words together, he just felt that an old man appeared in his mind, looking like a jelly, holding a popsicle in his hand, and looked at him lightly: "I only like you, no matter if it's windy or rainy, jelly, I'm going to be happy......!"
Seeing Lan Che's evil smile, Xius knew that this thing must be making up something strange in his head, so he hurriedly cleared his throat.
Lan Che immediately put away his expression: "Xiusi, have you lived for so long before you only met a third-order powerhouse?"
Xiusi smiled disdainfully: "Do you think that it is so easy for a third-order powerhouse? If a country produces a third-order powerhouse, then within a radius of hundreds of miles, you will be one person at the top and millions of people at the bottom! It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you have your own profession and find your own roots, then you will have the value of existence in this world." Subsequently, every time you move up the level, you need a long period of cultivation, opportunities, tempering, etc., and if necessary, the alchemist's elixir to break through. β
"Alchemist?" Lan Che became more interested the more he listened!
Xiusi looked at him in horror: "Lan Che, did I sleep for three thousand years, or did you sleep for three thousand years......
"Haha!" Lan Che touched his head embarrassedly, too, there are too many things he doesn't understand, and if he asks again, he has to have some misunderstanding, but if he has this big coffee by his side in the future, his life will be guaranteed, and if he doesn't understand, he can ask at any time, in short, everything is fine.
The more Lan Che thought about it, the happier he became, and the movements of his subordinates became faster and faster, and after a while, he came out with a bunch of cigars, carefully packed them, and looked back at Xiusi's pitiful appearance.
"Give you half of it!"
"Well, I'll help you too, it doesn't seem to be difficult. β
"! There's a lot of knowledge here! The leaves are too dry, that's the Red River, the throat is spicy, the leaves are too tender, it's Yuxi, it's boring. If you want to smoke China, you have to be ruthless with yourself! Remember to mix some soil, anyway, China is fake!"
Xiusi didn't understand a word, he squatted beside him in a daze, what did Lan Che do, he followed suit, the two of them were busy working, and the friends in the cave also woke up one after another.
It's not bad to see one or two mental heads, maybe because they haven't eaten, their little faces are a little pale.
"Lan Che!" Flying Duck saw Lan Che squatting on the ground at a glance, and trotted all the way over.
"Flying duck, are you awake?!yo! Everyone is awake?!" Lan Che glanced at the entrance of the cave, put away the cigarette and walked over.
"How are you doing, are you all hurt?" Lan Che hurriedly asked.
Lao Wang shook his head: "It's just a little bit of an old injury, and it can still resist, but it's ...... Where is this? Are we already out, or are we still in this Monster Mountain Range?"
When Lan Che heard this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and since he woke up, he had been arguing with Xiusi, and he didn't care what kind of place this was at this moment!
Shouldn't it still be in this damn Demon Beast Mountain Range?
"No!"
Just as he was speculating nervously, Mazi suddenly spoke, and he pointed to a small river in the north: "Isn't that the Suya River? It's three hours away from the Kas Mountains! We can see it, it must have come out!"
Lan Che was not at ease, he ran a few steps forward, and put his hand on the pergolaβsure enough, it was the Suas River! This used to be the place where he and Lao Wang occupied the place, and the second brother Lan Xiang took him to step on it, and he recognized it at a glance.
"Great! We're really out!" Lan Che waved his hand excitedly.
I saw Lao Wang and the three of them hugging each other and crying, Zhu Si and Feiya also jumped up hand in hand, everyone experienced a thrilling adventure, they all chose to trust each other at a critical time, give full play to their respective strengths, and no one abandoned anyone. Perhaps, it is also a coincidence, this fantasy journey has really laid a solid foundation for long-term friendship in the future.
The six of them began to walk towards the Suya River with laughter and laughter all the way, and along the way, Lao Wang said the most, either talking about how he outwitted the Yanyin bat, or bragging about how he killed the tiger head general alone.
Everyone also knew that he was bragging, no one broke it, and kept praising two sentences, making Lao Wang's whole body float away, looking funny.
In fact, everyone looks ahead from time to time, and that is our home.
The beginning of the dream is only to find the end in the direction of home.
A place that can eliminate all your tiredness, even if you look at it from afar, you will feel so happy.
But there was only one person, who was silent along the way - Zhu Si.
Yes, her business is not over, her country is in danger, the teacher is missing, and her beloved magic wand is destroyed. The triple blow made the weak girl's heart emaciated, but why didn't she fight for her homeland?
Lan Che patted Xiusi with a knowing look, and then the two slowed down and walked side by side with Jusi.
"Zhu Si, do you have any concerns?" Lan Che looked at Zhu Si seriously, hoping to see something from her expression.
But in the eyes of the girl, in addition to grievances, they are still grievances.
She bit her lip tightly, hesitated and didn't dare to speak, as if she had returned to the scene when she communicated with the blue valley.
Ay...... It seems that this girl's face is really thin, forget it, a good person will do it to the end.
Lan Che brushed his thoughts and told Xius about the Mayan Empire, the Maple Creek Empire, and the Big Black Robe in one breath.
After hearing this, Xiusi's face was unusually calm, if it weren't for those two flickering nostrils, Lan Che would have even thought that this thing was asleep!
Jusi suddenly stopped, and Lan Che and Xiusi were stunned and stopped.
She glanced at Lan Che gratefully, slowly moved to Xius's side, put her hand on the magician badge on her chest, and bowed deeply: "Dear descendant of the ghost clan, Lord Xius, I am Barbara Spider, the magician of the Mayan Empire. I came all the way with my teacher to find a magician and expand the Mayan Empire. The second is to find you, hoping to get your help to save the Mayan Empire in danger, I know that His Royal Highness the Prince is powerful and noble, I am not qualified to face you directly, but now the teacher does not know where to go, I am willing to bear all the consequences, on behalf of the Mayan Empire, I take the liberty of asking you to give a hand!"
To Lan Che's surprise, Xius actually put his hand on his chest as well, but he just nodded lightly and helped Zhu Si's body up.
Lan Che saw that Zhu Si's eyes had begun to redden, full of uneasiness and indescribable firmness.
In short, it makes people look distressed.
Looking at those big watery eyes, Xiusi stretched out his thumb expressionlessly, then pointed to Lan Che, and said lightly: "I listen to his ......"
What the?!
Lan Che and Zhu Si's eyes widened in surprise almost at the same time.
After stopping for two seconds, Lan Che smiled mysteriously, looked at Zhu Si with an incredible face, and snapped his fingers crisply: "I'll help you with this, but I also have a condition!"
