Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Bar Owner
"It's a flare......"
Ling Xiao said with tears.
"I remember talking about it in class. "There are usually four types of flares, green – for safety, yellow – for need for support, red – very dangerous and in need of emergency support, and blue – for retreat." Ling Xiao tear explained, "It seems that there are other mages in the Twilight Forest besides us. Look at the direction, it is the area of the core of the Twilight Forest. ”
"Is there a magician in the Holy City, or is it from another village?" asked Kuroba.
Suddenly, above the forest just now, a red flash of light burst into the night sky.
"Red flares, they need support, should we go over and have a look?"
As soon as Hei Yu thought about it, Ling Xiao grabbed his arm and shook his head.
"For this kind of large-scale cultivation, there are generally several teams of cavalry, and there is a special teacher to lead, so we don't have to worry about it. Recently, I haven't heard that our academy has held this kind of drill activity, and it is possible that the academy over there is also a god's domain. ”
"The Academy of God's Domain?"
There are very few jungles full of demon beasts on the side of the Divine Domain, so if the Intermediate Magic Academy of the Divine Domain wants to train, they all come to the forest near the original battlefield of our Central Continent, which is affected by the dark aura, and the level of the demon beasts is higher. Let's go to the edge of the forest and don't get discovered. ”
Soon, four green clouds of smoke seemed to echo it, rising from around the red smoke, indicating that the crisis had been resolved.
While walking, Ling Xiaotear took out a delicate small box from his backpack, and after opening it, purple spherical signal flares were neatly arranged inside.
"This is a signal flare specially made by our Dark Elf Clan, and when the signal flare explodes, it will be accompanied by infrasound waves that only our Dark Elf Clan can hear. No matter when, as long as you launch this, the surrounding dark elf clan will rush over, and this will be given to you, you can take it. ”
"Oh. Black Feather took it.
"Let's swap flares. Shen Zai said as he took out two iron boxes from his backpack and handed them to Black Feather and Ling Xiao Tear respectively, with a dragon depicted on them.
"This is our signal flare of the dragon clan, it will be more useful near the dragon island, as long as you are in danger, light this signal flare, the surrounding dragon clan will come to help, just take it as a witness to our friendship. ”
"Then take it!" said Black Feather. "Fight a few more monsters, and we'll call it a day and go home......"
In addition to cultivating, Yi Xin would occasionally intern in the Holy City Guards, donning tailor-made silver armor and red cloaks, and doing what he could do to guard the village and train. If you want to actually join the Guardians, you have to wait at least until you become a high-level magician.
After all, my father has an old day, and sooner or later he will have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the holy city and protect the city.
It's just that there is an agreement between the Chiyan family and the royal family, the city lord is not allowed to have his own army, and the holy city guards are formed by the residents spontaneously, and they are not under the control of the city lord. If the members of the Chiyan family had to join the escort team, they could only join the army guarding the Great Wall on the border.
Yi Xin knew this, but his determination to join the Guardian Team had never changed. He firmly believes that whether it is guarding the original battlefield or guarding the Great Wall on the border, it is the unchanging glory and perseverance of the Chiyan family for thousands of years.
That evening, Yi Xin wore silver armor and patrolled along the night market street. It was a rainy day in late spring, and a light rain fell without warning.
The guards on duty on the street, who happened to come by, also stood under the eaves of a nearby bar to hide from the rain, and they chatted as if no one was around.
"They all say that the owner of this bar is a bit evil. ”
"Really?" asked another.
"I've heard a lot about this boss. Some people say that they saw him in another place more than ten years ago, and later, when that person happened to pass by the Holy City, and when he saw him again, he found that his appearance was exactly the same as ten years ago, and he had not changed at all!"
"Such an evil sect!"
Yi Xin looked up along the rain curtain, and the dazzling neon sign said "Magic Empire", which was the most popular bar on this street.
Looking through the open door, the light was soft, and I saw the young Boss Ling standing behind the bar, his skin was fair, his eyes were cold, and his chestnut hair was lightly pressed on his forehead, revealing a temperament that rejected people for thousands of miles.
Yi Xin retracted his gaze and continued to look at the rain curtain that connected the sky and the earth, and the falling rain shone silver white in the light.
This Boss Ling, he had seen it a few times, but he didn't have a good impression, he always felt that this person was cold and cunning like a snake.
Some people's scheming is exposed to the outside so that people can see it at a glance, but their scheming is as deep as an ancient well, and there is no clue on the surface, but it is creepy.
The two guards continued:
"Do you think, he has lived in the Holy City for so many years, have you never noticed that his face has aged?
"That's really ...... when you say that"
"At first, I thought it was nothing, I thought it was someone else's nonsense, but then the more I looked at his face, the more scary it became. You say, how can anyone be so young forever? After seven or eight years, there has been no change at all? Moreover, there is always such an indescribable cold thought in his smile, which makes people shiver. ”
"You can't be jealous, are you good-looking!"
"No, what I said is true! There's a rumor...... He has cultivated the evil art that can absorb the essence and blood of people, so that he can stay young, immortal and immortal!"
The audience next to him gasped.
The man looked around and saw that there was no one, and then said:
"There was also a strange thing, when he first came to the Holy City, the neighbors around him heard it, and from the basement of his tavern came a strange howl of wild beasts. ”
"Beast howling?"
At that time, the people of the escort came to investigate five times, and they all pounced, and then the howl of the beast disappeared inexplicably, and the matter was over, don't you think it's strange?
"You, don't talk nonsense, if Commander Rin knows that you are talking nonsense, he will teach you a lesson!"
"I'm not the only one who says this, what are you afraid of. Some people say that this matter is inseparable from the owner of the Demon Empire Bar, and maybe this boss has collusion with the Demon Realm......
Yi Xin listened with his ears pricked up for a while, but felt that the more they talked, the more outrageous they became, they were all rumors chasing after the wind and ambiguous.
Yi Xin won't believe these things without evidence, so there is no need to listen to them anymore.
