The owner of the Red Beard Hotel, Uncle Krama, who has a beautiful red beard, is to drink ale while brushing his beard and loudly telling the adventures of his youth to his guests.

At this time, there were only two people on the bar of the hotel, Krama and Lei Xiu, who were holding his king-size wine glass and telling the young man in front of him about his heroic deeds in his youth.

"Hey, remember when I was twenty-one years old, I was adventuring in the Demon Jungle with my companions, do you know what we encountered?"

"Banshee, an adult eagle body banshee, this is a very powerful kind of Warcraft, the upper body of this Warcraft is the body of an adult woman, but it has the wings and claws of an eagle, it is infinitely powerful, and it can fly, the most terrifying thing is that it also has a lot of wisdom, that is, ordinary magic fighters and elemental mages will frown when they encounter it, but do you know what happened later?"

"Haha, at that time, we used the characteristics of the eagle to let a person pretend to be dead on the ground, and when it flew down, it first fell into the trap we set, and then gave it a few arrows, so that it lost its agility, and finally I gave it a knife, and cut off its head with a knife, and the blood spurted out at that time was several meters high. ”

After saying this, Uncle Krama stroked his chin and said proudly, "This is not my Krama bragging, my knife skills when I was young were quite powerful, a thigh-thick stake, I can cut two with one knife!"

Looking at Krama's smug expression, Lei Xiu asked curiously, "Uncle Krama, is the demon jungle you are talking about the jungle in the south of the empire?

Krama said proudly, "Of course, the Demon Jungle is a paradise for adventurers, there are not only all kinds of terrible magical beasts in it, but also a lot of precious medicinal materials and minerals, I don't know how many lucky guys have made a fortune overnight after getting these treasures, hey, it's a pity that my old man doesn't have this kind of luck." ”

After sighing with self-pity and self-pity, Krama suddenly looked at Lei Xiu mysteriously, "Lei Xiu, have you ever seen a real demonic beast?"

After thinking about it carefully, Lei Xiu felt that Mr. Tree should not be in the category of ordinary Warcraft, so he shook his head and said regretfully, "I really haven't seen a living Warcraft, but there is a Demon Breath Forest near our Moben Town, and there is a very large forest worm in it, which is also terrifying. ”

Glancing at Lei Xiu with disdain, Krama said, "Hey, your kind of beast is at most a fierce beast, but the demonic beast is born to use elemental power, just like the demon fighter and the elemental mage, it is not the kind of ordinary beast that can be compared to it at all." ”

After speaking, Krama patted Lei Xiu's shoulder and laughed, "Young man, you are lucky, tomorrow happens to be the monthly military parade day in Golden Shield City, our city lord and the two deputy city lords will take their demonic beasts to parade in the square, you can see the real demonic beasts." ”

His eyes lit up, Lei Xiu looked at Krama and said excitedly, "Really, then I must go and see what kind of magical beasts they are, Uncle Krama." ”

Krama stroked her beard and laughed, "Hahahaha, tomorrow you will let the Messiah take you to see it." ”

After finishing speaking, Krama took a sip of ale wine, and said with a little embarrassment, "Hey, in fact, when it comes to Warcraft, what impresses me the most is the winter giant wolf that almost destroyed Golden Shield City ten years ago. ”

"Winter Giant Wolf?" Lei Xiu asked with a curious look in his eyes, "Uncle Krama, what is the Winter Giant Wolf?

"Hehe, that was ten years ago. When he picked up his glass again, he found that it was empty, and after shaking his head, Krama got up from his chair, filled his glass, and began to reminisce.

"It was a hot summer evening, and it happened that the city lord's youngest daughter had just been born, so the city lord ordered the whole city to celebrate one night, and the wine money was all his. ”

Just when most of the people in the city had turned into drunkards and shouted loudly, all of a sudden, the hot temperature of the whole city dropped instantly, and then everyone heard a huge howl, a wolf howl that made everyone wake up instantly. ”

Lei Xiu clearly saw that Krama's body trembled involuntarily when he talked about the wolf howl, and he could imagine how deep the impression this incident had brought him.

Taking a sip of the wine, Krama laughed at herself, "After that wolf howl, the temperature in the whole city continued to drop, and soon, even snowed, oh hell, it was a hot July day! I was one of the drunkards at that time, and I and another friend climbed the city wall while we were drunk, so I saw more." ”

"A giant wolf as tall as the gate of the city wall, exuding a dark blue luster, rushed to the Golden Shield City with ice and snow on it!"

"I swear, I've seen a lot of monsters in my life, and I've seen a lot of magical beasts, but I've never seen anything more terrifying than that winter wolf, beautiful, majestic, and powerful, and I didn't know what words to use to describe it at that time. ”

As the wolf reached the wall, it howled again, and then its paws smashed the wall in half. Speaking of this, Krama shook her head and laughed, "You don't know, little Lei Xiu, I was less than twenty meters away from the broken city wall at that time, and my intuition at that time told me that I must not provoke him, otherwise I will definitely die, haha, the person with me was scared to pee his pants on the spot." ”

Lei Xiu smiled slightly, did not speak, and continued to listen quietly to what Krama said.

"It's also a big loss to the two of us, the giant wolf smashed the city wall and crossed the city wall, and rushed to the city, but at this time, the strangest thing happened, you know, at that time the streets of the city were full of people, such a behemoth ran in, and casually trampled a lot of people to death, but this giant wolf ran very carefully, it seemed to be unwilling to kill people, and every time it landed, it deliberately avoided crowded places, so the damage was to buildings, but there were not many casualties, and those unlucky people who died were killed because they pushed each other when they were panicked。 ”

Hearing this, the curiosity in Lei Xiu's heart became even heavier, a benevolent demonic beast who was unwilling to kill humans?

"It didn't take long for the city guards to be dispatched, but to no avail, even many demon fighters and elemental mages could not get close to this giant wolf, its dark blue skin was like the hardest steel, and no attack could damage it. ”

Speaking of this, Lei Xiu couldn't help but speak, "Demon fighters and elemental mages also have a level distinction, those who attack the giant wolf should be demon fighters and junior elemental mages without rank, right?"

Hehe smiled, took a big sip of ale wine, Krama's cloudy eyes seemed to glow, and said lightly, " At that time, there were city lords and two deputy city lords besieging this giant wolf, the city lord was a silver-grade demon fighter at that time, and although the deputy city lord of Dorav was not a silver grade at that time, it was also very close, by the way, he broke through after that battle, as for the deputy city lord of Hobins, he had just advanced to a high-level elemental mage, and there were also four black iron demon fighters and two junior elemental mages, and there were probably dozens of other demon fighters and elemental mages without rank, such a lineup had the effect of barely containing the giant wolf, but it could not cause it any damage。 ”

Hearing this, Lei Xiu couldn't help but gasp, such a powerful force couldn't even cause damage to this winter giant wolf, you know, even a Golden Demon Fighter or Elemental Archmage might be able to win under this kind of siege, but it was difficult not to be injured, unless it was, Holy Order!

Krama's voice did not stop, and continued to reach Lei Xiu's ears, "That battle is really confusing, although the winter giant wolf was attacked, but it has no intention of hurting people, no one knows what it is going to do, but it just stayed in the city and did not leave, and finally lay in a place in the city, not moving, allowing others to attack it, and it lasted for three days and three nights." ”

After sighing, Krama's eyes were a little confused, "Three days and three nights, it has snowed heavily for three days in Golden Shield City, and the snow on the street is so thick that it can reach my waist, and in the end, it was the imperial capital that sent a strong man to kill this giant wolf, I remember very clearly, this giant wolf let out a last howl before it died, and then it turned into a large blue point of light in front of everyone's eyes and disappeared...... I don't know if it's my delusion, but I always feel that the howl of the giant wolf carries an indescribable sadness. ”

Speaking of this, Krama's tone was obviously a little embarrassed, and after drinking the last half of the wine, he turned his head to Lei Xiu, and said with a mysterious smile, "Little Lei Xiu, do you know where the last place of that giant wolf was? It was near the hotel where Messiah's house was." ”

Stunned for a moment, Lei Xiu blinked and said, "Is that the Dryad Hotel?"

"Yes, it was on that South Gate Street, hey, speaking of Sophia and Messiah's parents also died in an accident a few days before that incident, Hank's guy is the best cook in Golden Shield City, and Yarisel is also a famous beauty in the city, but unfortunately, they all died in a fire, leaving these two kind little guys to suffer a lot. ”

Speaking of which, Krama was also a little distracted, and when Lei Xiu saw this, he simply explained the other party's two sentences, and then said goodbye and went back to his room.

After returning to the room to freshen up, Lei Xiu lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling, but what he was thinking about most now was not the winter wolf, but the Messiah and Sophia who were still so strong and cheerful after the loss of their parents, thinking about it, Catherine's appearance came to his mind, and he was a little homesick......

The next day, the clear sky was cloudless, and early in the morning, the streets of Golden Shield City were constantly resounding with the sound of neat running, and the soldiers in black armor had serious faces, and occasionally some people made mistakes, and they would be immediately scolded by the captain, and even kicked by them.

Today, it is the monthly military parade day of the Golden Shield City, the tradition of military parade has been there since the day of the establishment of this city, with the brave warriors and strong city walls, the Golden Shield City does not know how many times to block the invasion of the southern savages, it can be said that it is not only a city, but also an important military fortress, although there has been no war in the south for nearly 30 years, but the tradition of this military parade day has been inherited by every city lord, in order not to forget the armament.

After a good night's sleep, the energetic Lei Xiu had just finished eating the hostess of the hotel, and Aunt Ugya's breakfast saw the Messiah pushing open the door of the hotel.

Today's Messiah took off his chef's uniform, black pants with a sky-blue shirt, and his dazzling blonde hair, he looked unusually handsome and straight, and in the early morning sun, he looked like an elf famous for his handsomeness in ancient mythology.

After whistling, Lei Xiu smiled and said, "Oh, look at this handsome guy, Messiah, are you really going to take me out sightseeing?

Hearing this, Messiah's fair face turned red and showed an embarrassed smile, and Lei Xiu couldn't help but say when he saw this, "Isn't it?

"It's not a girlfriend, it's a friend, it happens to be a woman, hey, I have already made an appointment with her to go shopping together today, just by the way. ”

Looking at the somewhat embarrassed Messiah, Lei Xiu smiled teasingly, "Haha, I think it's better to forget it, I don't want to be disliked, I think I'll just go shopping by myself, you better go shopping with your female friends." ”

Listening to Lei Xiu's four words of female friend who were particularly clear, Messiah shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I really don't have that kind of relationship with her, but I met it during the entrance exam of Shenyuan Academy some time ago, and it happened that she was also going to school in the imperial capital, so I got in touch, thinking that I would take care of it in the imperial capital in the future, come with me, Lei Xiu, I have grown so big, and I have never gone out with girls other than my sister, it always feels weird." ”

Looking at the Messiah with a provocative eye, Lei Xiuwei smiled, "Hehe, it's really inconvenient?"

Rolling his eyes angrily, Messiah took a few quick steps and pulled up Lei Xiudao, "Come on, you guy with a bad mind." ”

On the edge of the fountain of the Wishing Fountain on Zhongmen Street, Wei Ya looked down at her reflection in the pool, and once again sorted out the collar of the blue dress, blue is her favorite color recently, and this blue tulip pattern frill dress was also carefully selected by her, because that person's favorite color is blue, blue as clear as the sky.

Thinking that she was going to see him in a while, Wei Ya couldn't help but show a touch of shyness on her delicate face that was healthy and wheat-colored, that day happened to be the entrance assessment of Shenyuan Academy, originally she was going to see Allen, this guy was brushed down and then humiliated the other party, who knew but met him, this must be the fate arranged by God.

In the examination room, he was so calm, confident, and radiant, that even the examiners of Shenyuan Academy, who were known for their strictness, praised him, and in the end, he was selected, becoming the only candidate in Golden Shield City who was selected.

At that time, Miss Wei Ya, who had always been above the top, finally lowered her noble head and took the initiative to talk to the other party.

Thinking of this, Wei Ya's face couldn't help but turn red.

"The two of us are going to the imperial capital, and I heard that the Bauhinia Military Academy and the Shenyuan Academy are only two streets apart, so we will definitely have a lot of time to get along in the future. ”

Just as Wei Ya was immersed in her fantasy of the flower before the moon, a voice interrupted her thoughts.

"I'm sorry, Miss Weiya, I'm late. ”

After hearing this voice, Wei Ya's eyes bloomed with incomparably happy looks, and she turned around in an impeccable graceful posture and smiled sweetly, "Where, Messiah, I'm here early, let's go first today...... Uh, who's this guy? ”
