Chapter 56: Attacked
Hearing Tangtang's words, Lei Xiu couldn't help but ask, "But we don't have a big holiday with this Horton and Maltai, could it be that just because of a few quarrels, they cut off all the airship tickets, just to prevent us from going to the imperial capital?"
With a cold snort, Wei Ya looked at Lei Xiudao, who was full of doubts, "Of course it's not that simple, this Horton once pursued Sugar Candy, but was rejected by Sugar Candy, it must have been because he was jealous that he instigated Maltai to do this." β
Messiah nodded abruptly and said, "So that's the case, it's all connected, we had a conflict with the people of the Emerald family that day, this Horton and Maltai were also in the restaurant at the time, they must have witnessed the whole thing, so they thought of this way, which can not only make us unable to start school in time, but also attract hatred to the Emerald family, hum, what a good idea!"
Bending down deeply, Tangtang apologized again, "I'm sorry, everyone, it's because of me that I have caused you so much trouble." β
Wei Ya frowned, hurriedly helped Tangtang up, and complained, "What kind of humility are you saying, it's not your fault." β
Messiah also persuaded at the same time, "Yes, Tangtang, if it weren't for you this time, Wei Ya and I wouldn't be able to go to the imperial capital, and we will settle this account with them in the future." β
At this time, Lei Xiu suddenly laughed, "Hehe, I used to hear how insidious and treacherous the intrigue between nobles is, but now I can be regarded as realizing, Tangtang, Wei Ya and Messiah are right, you are not at fault at all in this matter, there is no need to apologize, we have to thank you instead, without you, we will definitely not be able to catch up with this school start." β
Hearing everyone's words, Tangtang felt a little better, raised his head and gritted his teeth, "This time Horton they have gone too far, the opportunity to study in the imperial capital is a rare opportunity for everyone, they want to deprive you of the opportunity, it's really despicable!"
A cold light flashed in Messiah's eyes, and he said in a cold tone, "It's good that I have your help this time, otherwise, I can't guarantee that I will do anything." β
Although this sentence is plain, everyone feels the hidden resentment, for the Messiah, being able to be admitted to the Shenyuan Academy is the thing he is most proud of, and it is also his greatest opportunity to change his fate, but now he is almost deprived by Horton and others, which is equivalent to almost ruining his future, not to mention the Messiah, even if he is anyone, it is intolerable.
Lei Xiu said in a deep voice, "Messiah, now it is imperative that you go to the imperial capital first, don't miss the start of school, we will definitely find him to settle this account in the future!"
Messiah sneered, "Don't worry, if you can't even endure it, what kind of revenge are you talking about?" We will definitely arrive at the imperial capital on time, okay, you go and pack your luggage." β
Raising his hand and shaking the Messiah's shoulder, Lei Xiu nodded and returned to his room, he basically packed up the things he bought on Corona Avenue, in fact, if it weren't for these things, he wouldn't even have to pack up.
After packing his luggage, Lei Xiu left his room, had lunch with Messiah and the others, and then returned to the Divine Thunder Tower, and then he asked Hanbock for some Shen Thunder Crystals, and planned to use the remaining time to make two daggers for himself.
The reason why he made the dagger again was not because he liked this weapon, but because he was running out of time, and if he wanted to build a long knife, it would take at least a day and a night.
About four hours later, Lei Xiu picked up the snow-white and transparent whole body in his hand in front of the anvil in the building room, exuding a trace of coldness, as if a dagger made of ice, and sighed softly, looking a little dissatisfied, because these two daggers were still a stack of elemental equipment, and he still couldn't create a stack of equipment, so he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"Grandpa Roger said, I'm still very rusty with the use of spiritual power, so the success rate of building two-fold equipment is not high, I hope that I can improve my spiritual power after I arrive at Shenyuan Academy." β
After muttering to himself, Lei Xiu made two more simple leather sheaths, pinned the dagger to his waist and walked out of the building room, now waiting for the next day's departure!
The early morning sun shone through the window on a small bed in Hanbrick's office, which Hanbock used for his lunch break, but now it was Lei Xiu who had opened his eyes lying on it.
He had already woken up, in fact, since the completion of the thunder breath technique, he had a lot less sleep time, and he only needed to sleep for three hours a day to spend the whole day full of energy. However, whenever he used the thunder breath technique to fall asleep, Lei Xiu would enter a state of seeming to be asleep but not sleeping, and waking up but not waking up, in this state, his mind would be very concentrated, and he would be extremely clear when thinking about everything, so he would maintain this state for two or three hours every day to recall some things he wanted to think about and explore.
After about half an hour, Lei Xiu rolled over and jumped from the small bed, and after a brief wash, he walked out of the door with his luggage, and first ate a hearty breakfast in the cafeteria before coming to the playground.
At this time, there were more than 100 horned eagles and more than 100 people from the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom Business Group standing densely on the playground, and the bright and crisp eagle cries rose and fell, and the scene was spectacular.
Looking at this group of people with black hair and black eyes like himself, and even skin tones that were similar to him, Lei Xiu inexplicably felt some intimacy in his heart, and those Tianfeng Ancient People who saw Lei Xiu also smiled kindly after noticing that he was also black-haired and black-eyed.
"Here, Leixiu, your horned eagle is here. β
Following the sound, Mu Feng's figure waving his arm came out from not far away, Lei Xiu smiled when he saw this, and ran over with a faster pace.
When he came to Mu Feng's side, Lei Xiu smiled and said hello, his eyes glanced at the horned eagle next to him, and used the method Mu Feng taught him to gently stroke the soft hair under the horned eagle's neck.
Seeing the Horned Eagle squinting his eyes and looking happy, Lei Xiu turned his head and asked, "Brother Mufeng, is it time for us to get ready to go?"
"Yes, it's time to go, now we are waiting for Lord Qin and Lord Liu, we don't need to bring any goods this time, so we are all traveling lightly, and it is estimated that we will arrive at your imperial capital Bauhinia City in more than two days." β
"So fast, can it be there in more than two days?"
Looking at Lei Xiu's surprised look, Mu Feng smiled, "Of course, we flew straight through the air, and we didn't have to make a detour, and the speed of the Horned Eagle is much faster than your airship, I estimate that it should arrive in the evening the day after tomorrow." β
Smacking his tongue slightly, Lei Xiu said with some excitement, "Brother Mufeng, have you ever been to the imperial capital?
Mu Feng's eyes showed a hint of emotion, and he sighed, " I don't know how to describe Bauhinia City, if you really want to describe it, it should be solemn, after all, it is the capital of a country, the environment there is a little dry, there are many mountains and little water, and there are many things, and it is particularly complete, like our trade between countries has to go to the Commerce Department of Bauhinia City to handle, hey, anyway, you will see it in two days, what is the hurry, but if you want me to say, this Bauhinia City is still not as good as the Tiandu of our Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom, if you have the opportunity, you must go to Tiandu to see, you have the blood of our Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom, if you don't go to Tiandu, you will regret it for lifeοΌβ
Lei Xiu's eyes showed a hint of curiosity, "Oh, Tiandu, is it the imperial capital of the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom, if I have the chance, I will definitely go, Brother Mufeng, anyway, there are still more than two days, you can tell me about the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom, I want to know more." β
Mu Feng nodded with a smile, and when he was about to speak, a simple and high-pitched horn sounded, and he saw that at the back door of the Shenlei Building, Han Boke walked out with Qin Mo and Liu Gang beside him.
"Lord Hanbock, please stay, this transaction will trouble you, and please send the goods to the border on time, our people will receive them there. β
Han Boke looked at Qin Mo and nodded and smiled, "Lord Qin Mo, please rest assured, I will definitely let the goods be delivered on time, and along the way, my friend's grandson will trouble you to take care of it more." β
Qin Mo glanced at Lei Xiu who was not far away, and said with a smile, "This is certain, I will definitely send him to Bauhinia City safely, then we will prepare to leave, and I will come to say goodbye to you when we return." β
After speaking, Qin Mo and Liu Gang on the side saluted Han Boke at the same time, and then turned around and walked to the playground, while Han Boke looked at Lei Xiu who was looking at him, and nodded slightly, he had explained everything that should be explained yesterday, and at this moment, there was no need to tell him anything.
After a while, under Liu Gang's order, all the people of the Tianfeng Merchant Group rode the Upper Horned Eagles, and flew into the air one by one in groups of ten Horned Eagles. A few minutes later, nearly a hundred horned eagles fluttered their wings and soared in the air at the same time, covering the entire Shenlei Tower's mid-air, presenting a magnificent scene that covered the sky and the sun.
Until the flock of horned eagles faded away, Hanbock remained where he was, and then sighed before returning to the building, only when he turned around, the expression on his face became solemn and cold.
"Hmph, Horton of the Solomon family, and Maltai of the Maelo family? Dare to splash dirty water on the Emerald family, the future is terrifying, if it weren't for Lei Xiu telling me, I would really be going to beat these external deacons of the Emerald family, well, it seems that it's time to meet the city lord......"
Lei Xiu followed the team of the Heavenly Wind Merchant Group all the way, only to rest for a while at noon and continued on their way, and at this moment, by the end of the evening, they had already arrived at Silver Mountain City, the neighboring city of Yaori City.
Silver Mountain City is a medium-sized city in the Bauhinia Empire, which used to be a mountain city rich in silver mines, but after nearly a hundred years of mining, the silver mines here have been exhausted, so it has gradually lost the attention of the empire, and only the city itself has been retained.
If you ride a horse normally, it would take at least five days to get from Dawn City to Silver Mountain City, but now it's only less than a day to get here, which is already amazing.
On a hillside near the forest outside Yinshan City, all the horned eagles landed, and then under Liu Gang's instructions, everyone began to set up tents, preparing to sleep here at night, seeing everyone making a fire and cooking a meal, Lei Xiu couldn't help but wonder, "Brother Mufeng, why do we sleep outside and don't go into the city to rest?"
Mu Feng drove the rivets on the tent into the ground, and said without looking back, "This is the old rule, we ride a horned eagle, it is too inconvenient to enter the city in the evening, and it will disturb the people, so we usually sleep outside, come on, help me drive the nails over there into it." β
After helping Mu Feng set up the tent, Lei Xiu helped to make a fire and fetch water, and did not stop until it was time to eat. The food of the Tianfeng Business Group is very good, a few experienced hunters just took a moment to catch two mountain boars and a few mountain deer, after peeling the skin and putting it in the pot, and then put in some special seasonings, it was so tender and fragrant, Lei Xiu was very happy to eat.
After eating, Lei Xiu slept in a tent with Mu Feng, and told Lei Xiu some interesting things about the ancient country of Tianfeng, after which Mu Feng fell asleep tiredly, and the burst of snoring made Lei Xiu suspect that even the people who were keeping vigil outside could hear it.
Shaking his head and smiling, after covering the quilt for Mu Feng, Lei Xiu walked out of the tent, the gust of cold wind blew to lift his spirits, and after saying hello to the night watchman not far away, he came to a gray rock and sat down against the rock.
The moonlight tonight was not good, there were a few dark clouds floating in the sky, making the night even darker, Lei Xiu looked up at the clouds overhead, and his eyes gradually became hollow.
"I don't know where Grandpa Roger is now, will he go to the imperial capital? Mom doesn't know if he has left Ruben Town, hey, I've only been out for less than a month, why doesn't it seem like I haven't seen them for a long time?Hey, but it's funny to say, I've always wanted to enter the Demon Fighter Academy, but now I'm about to become a student of the Elemental Mage Academy, and I don't know what Emily will think when she finds out. β
Just as Lei Xiu frowned and laughed for a while, full of cranky thoughts, a melodious and pleasant flute suddenly sounded, and this flute didn't know what kind of music it was blowing, tactfully and lowly, and it echoed continuously, as if it was haunting infinite reverie and thoughts, listening to it, as if even the soul was going to be carried by the music and slowly floated in the air.
Until the end of the song, Lei Xiu couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and his thoughts were still wandering in the moving melody.
After a while, Lei Xiu stood up and looked around, trying to find the piper, because this piece was really the best piece of music he had ever heard in his life, and he couldn't help but want to learn to play the flute.
But just as he was looking for the piper, a strange sound suddenly reached his ears. Turning his head suddenly, Lei Xiu looked at the source of the sound, only to see a large number of arrows burning like a meteor rain falling from the sky in the eastern woods, illuminating the dark night sky red.
"Oh no, someone sneaked attack!"
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lei Xiu wanted to remind the people of the Heavenly Wind Merchant Group out loud, but a coquettish voice sounded one step ahead of him, and the sound instantly spread throughout the entire camp.
"There is a sneak attack from the enemy, everyone is on alert!"
Before the voice dissipated, in front of Lei Xiu's eyes, a slender and tall figure had already jumped into the air and flew towards the raging rocket!
