Chapter 15: The Brightest Star in the Sky
Messiah nodded and smiled politely, pointed to Lei Xiu beside him and introduced, "Let me introduce you, this is my friend, Lei Xiu, he is also a freshman who has just been admitted to Shenyuan Academy this year, Lei Xiu, this is the daughter of our city lord, Miss Wei Ya." ”
Shocked, Lei Xiu didn't expect that this female friend of the Messiah turned out to be the daughter of the city lord of the Golden Shield City, nodded lightly and said with a smile, "Hello Miss Weiya, I am the Messiah's classmate, I hope it didn't disturb you." ”
Laughing awkwardly, Messiah coughed lightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, everyone is young, it's only lively to hang out together, what do you say, Miss Weiya." ”
A far-fetched smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, Wei Ya looked at the Messiah and said, "Of course, everyone will stay in the imperial capital for a long time in the future, and they should be watching and helping each other, hello, Lei Xiu." ”
When Wei Ya's eyes looked at Lei Xiu, she naturally brought out a haughty temperament, although she had a smile on her face, there was an obvious sense of distance in her eyes, and no matter how Lei Xiu looked at it, she felt that this delicate and lovely aristocratic lady looked at him with a deep resentment.
"Sure enough, I was disgusted. With a bitter smile in his heart, Lei Xiu grabbed his hair and looked at the Messiah with some resentment.
"Okay, we're all together, Lei Xiu is coming to Golden Shield City for the first time, I plan to take him to the square to see the military parade first, this is the characteristic of our Golden Shield City, what do you say, Miss Wei Ya." ”
The slender eyebrows frowned slightly, and Wei Ya's voice was slightly displeased, but she said with seven points of shyness, "Messiah, how many times have I told you, don't call me Miss Wei Ya, just call me by my name, I will be angry if you see me like this again." ”
Seeing that Wei Ya was a little coquettish at this time, Messiah secretly glanced at Lei Xiu, who was clasping his hands around his chest and revealing a weird smile, and coughed lightly again, "This, okay, Wei Ya, then let's go over now, the parade should have begun." ”
The compromise with the Messiah returned a sweet smile, and Wei Ya nodded, "Okay, it seems that only Uncle Doraff came to participate in the parade today, and my father and Uncle Hobbins have important things to deal with, so they shouldn't be able to come." ”
After hearing Wei Ya's words, Lei Xiu sighed regretfully, since listening to Uncle Krama's words yesterday, he really wanted to see what the real Warcraft looked like, but depending on the situation, he could only see one today.
The three teenagers and girls walked together in the direction of the square, but none of them noticed that in the shadow of a dark alley not far behind them, a pair of strange eyes were watching them, exuding a faint murderous intent.
Dorav sat in a wooden chair on the city tower, rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked condescendingly at the queue lined up in several neat queues on the square, propped up his chin with his right hand, yawned lazily and muttered, "It's really boring these days, the boss and Hobbins, the smiling tiger, only care about beckoning the big man to come to the imperial capital, and they don't even come to the military parade once a month, I don't know what they think, is it so easy to hug the thighs of the imperial triumvirate, don't you say, Oman." ”
At Dorav's feet, a three-meter-long panther with a black and shiny coat opened its hideous mouth and yawned in response to its master, and then lazily continued to lie on the city wall to bask in the sun.
Glancing at his monster dissatisfied, Dorav complained, "I said you, have you been fat again lately? Look at your lazy appearance, I suspect that any donkey will run faster than you, you should lose weight, old man." ”
Turning his head to the right, the panther continued to lie on the ground and nap, completely ignoring the other party's complaints.
Seeing that this monster was so faceless to his master, Doraf frowned and was about to stand up and kick it, but at this moment, a loud and passionate military horn sounded.
After glaring at the panther fiercely, Dorav stood up from his chair, and the soldiers of Golden Shield City in the square had all assembled, and the sound of the military horn meant that the parade had officially begun.
Three thousand soldiers in black armor lined up neatly in six square queues in the square, each holding a two-meter-long Tiege, whose silver blade shone with a terrifying cold light.
At this moment, six red-armored knights on horses stepped out of the front row of the procession, dismounted in unison, and at the same time saluted in the direction of Dorav.
"The first team of the Black Armor Guard of Golden Shield City is all here, waiting for orders. ”
"The second team of the Black Armor Guard of Golden Shield City is all here, waiting for orders. ”
"Golden Shield City Black Armor Guard Third Team ......"
After all the six red-armored captains finished reporting, Doraf, who was tall and fat, with a rough and wild appearance, stood on the city wall and returned a military salute and opened his throat and shouted, "The black-armored guards listen to the order, and the parade has officially begun!"
After speaking, Doraf grabbed the giant leopard that was still lying on the ground and was napping, kicked his right leg violently, and the whole person rose into the air and jumped out of the city wall.
"Bang!" As Dorav hit the ground, the whole square seemed to tremble a few times, and the people who came to watch the parade not far away let out enthusiastic cheers after a brief pause.
"Lord Dorav, you're so tough, this is a real man. ”
"Hahahaha, Lord Doraf, you have begun to ravage poor Aman again. ”
After waving his hand to signal to the people around him, Doraf dragged the giant leopard larger than his body to the center of the square, and with a wave of his thick palm, the three thousand black-armored guards opened the formation, and made all kinds of fighting actions under the leadership of the red-armored captain, and shouted neat slogans in his mouth, which was breathtaking.
Seeing the official start of the military parade, Lei Xiu pointed at the giant leopard at Dorav's feet with a strange expression, turned his head to the Messiah and asked, "Is this the real Warcraft?"
Messiah said with some embarrassment, "That's the demonic beast of the deputy city lord of Dorav, a saber-toothed black panther, don't underestimate it, this kind of demonic beast is very powerful, and it can naturally cast elemental spells of wood and wind." ”
Wei Ya next to her also had a feeling of being looked down upon by outsiders, and couldn't help frowning and explaining, "Aman is very powerful, ordinary people and Warcraft are only affinity for one elemental power, but Aman has two kinds, which are relatively rare in Warcraft." ”
Shrugging his shoulders, Lei Xiu reluctantly accepted the explanation of the two people beside him, and then Messiah suddenly spoke, "Wei Ya, can you accompany Lei Xiu here to watch the military parade first, when I passed by the street just now, I thought that there was still something I hadn't bought, I went buy it, and I will come back immediately." ”
Hearing this request, Wei Ya subconsciously seemed to refuse, but when she saw the clear eyes of the Messiah, she turned around like a ghost, "Oh, good...... Okay, then there you go. ”
Looking at Wei Ya staring at the back of Messiah with a resentful expression, Lei Xiu coughed, blinked and said, "Miss Wei Ya, in fact, I can watch the parade myself, if you have something to buy, you can also go." ”
Wei Ya's heart moved after hearing this, but after thinking about it, she let out a long sigh, shook her head and said, "I don't have anything to buy, and it's too deliberate, isn't it? ”
Hearing this, Lei Xiu suddenly felt like he was patting the horse's legs, and he didn't expect Wei Ya to hide his feelings for the Messiah in front of him.
After speaking, Wei Ya glanced at Lei Xiu, suddenly looked at the sky silently and said softly, "What a bright star, have you seen it?" ”
Following Wei Ya's direction, Lei Xiu looked up at the clear sky without a trace of clouds overhead, and subconsciously looked down at himself, and sighed depressedly, "Yes, and it's the brightest star in the sky." ”
Pouting and smiling, Wei Ya finally had a little affection for this guy called Lei Xiu, at least this kid is still knowledgeable and self-aware, just when she was just trying to find some excuse to send this troublesome guy away, her face suddenly sank.
"Hey, did you hear anything?"
"Voices?" Reciuel wondered, "there are so many voices here, what are you talking about?"
After listening carefully with her eyes closed, Wei Ya muttered, "No, it's not the voice here, it's the voice of the Messiah. With a tremor in her body, Wei Ya's eyes opened suddenly, and she grabbed Lei Xiu's sleeve with a panicked face and said, "It's not good, the Messiah has been attacked, it's in the alley we just walked, you go to the soldiers to save him!"
There seemed to be a flash of thunder in his black eyes, Lei Xiu's face changed instantly, and the whole person flashed out without the slightest hesitation, and before Wei Ya could react, the figure beside him had disappeared without a trace.
A flash of horror flashed in Wei Ya's eyes, "This, is this the speed of a person! Isn't he a student of Shenyuan Academy?"
Located in an alley near the Middle Gate Street of Golden Shield City, the Misa is experiencing the first life-and-death crisis in her life.
At this time, his originally fair face became even paler, the red blood on the shoulders behind him had soaked through his shirt, his golden hair was full of sweat, his steps were faltering, but he didn't dare to stop, only more than twenty meters of alley, but it was like an endless road of death.
Not long ago, he had just walked into a familiar alley and was about to take a shortcut to the shop he wanted to go to, when he was suddenly attacked, and a dagger was suddenly pierced into his shoulder behind him, and if he hadn't turned around at that time, he had no doubt that the dagger would have pierced directly into his heart, but ironically, there was no half figure behind him, and even the ghostly dagger disappeared.
Unable to find the murderer, the Messiah could only run out of the alley as best he could, but as soon as he took two steps, he was attacked again suddenly, and the same dagger, the blood stains on it had not yet dried, appeared out of thin air in the shadow beside him, and cut a deep hole in him.
Forcing himself to calm down, the Messiah moved his body as he condensed the fire element in the air, and a flame the size of a bowl condensed and appeared in his hand.
After seeing the burning flame in his hand, Messiah felt a little confident, forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and sneered around, "Your Excellency has such strength, isn't it too embarrassing to come and assassinate a little person like me who is not even an ordinary elemental mage?"
It didn't take long for a gloomy voice to sound in the alley, "The future elemental mage of Shenyuan Academy is not a small person, boy, you are very good, you can still stay calm in this environment, if you don't die, you may become a big man in the future, hehehehe, I like to abuse and kill a big person like you who hasn't grown up the most." ”
"Perverted!" After scolding fiercely, the Messiah moved his steps little by little, slowly moving towards the light at the mouth of the alley.
It's not that he didn't think about calling for help, but in addition to giving up after shouting twice at the beginning, today is the day of the military parade, and the city guards have gone to the square to maintain order, if ordinary people are attracted by their own cries for help, it is estimated that they will also be poisoned by this killer, and this alley is so deep, the call for help here can't spread far, only by running out of the alley, can the city guards be attracted as soon as possible.
Just as the Messiah endured the sharp pain in his shoulder and carefully shifted his steps, a familiar voice was heard in the distance.
"Messiah, where are you!"
As soon as his eyes lit up, Messiah's heart was ecstatic, Lei Xiu actually came, and then Messiah shouted with all his strength, "Lei Xiu, I'm here, don't come here, go find the city guards to save me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Messiah felt a chill coming from his neck, and he shrank his head as fast as he could, and the sharp dagger swung through the ends of his hair, cutting off a handful of hair.
"Hehe, I wanted to play with you a little longer, but you don't cherish the last moment, city guards, and by the time they come, you'll be a corpse. ”
Ignoring the cold sweat that came out of shock, Messiah sneered, "Hehe, I don't think it's necessarily, your concealment skills are indeed very powerful, but I found that you seem to be able to only play this ability in the shadows, in other words, as long as there is light, you can't hide it, drink!"
With a loud shout, Messiah's left hand suddenly tightly grasped the wrist of his right hand, and the flames that were originally large at the mouth of the bowl instantly soared, until they grew to a diameter of more than one meter before stopping, and the bright light of the fire suddenly illuminated the gloomy alley, and a figure in black covering his eyes with his hands suddenly appeared on the wall.
A confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the Messiah whispered, "Sure enough, I saw you!"
"Hehehehe, cunning boy, I didn't expect you to see my secret so quickly, I underestimated you. ”
After speaking, the black-clothed figure slowly lowered his hand blocking the light, revealing his face.
The killer was about thirty years old, his complexion was extremely pale, his eyes were narrow and long, and he was a little delicate when he looked closely, but he had a strange tattoo on his face that covered the left half of his face, which made him have a strange aura.
"Prepare to die, Shadow Spike!"
As soon as the cruel and murderous words fell, the figure of the killer disappeared from the wall in front of Messiah's eyes, and just as Messiah was anxiously turning his head to look for the other party, a hand holding a dagger strangely stretched out from the shadow behind him and stabbed him in the neck.
