Chapter 1 The Gate of Desire Section 7 Annoying Wicked Guest
On this afternoon, Lord Bellman, the leader of the Adventurers' Guild, came to the sickbed of Unki, an elderly six-winged demon with a limp leg and looking old and weak. The maid of the mansion brought a chair for Mr. Lord, and Lord Bellman sat down casually, looking Unch up and down.
Unqi was very tall, but his hair was unkempt, because he had not combed for a long time, his eyebrows were like dancing in the wind, and his expression was elegant, and he had a pair of wise eyes, and his gaze was clear, like a streamer, not so resolute and sharp, but relieved and free.
If Lord Bellman had been as proficient in physiognomy as Wuenqi's father, Ayyuqi the King of Kaiyang, he would have thought that most of these appearances were flawed people with great talent and a good mind, but a weak will. But Lord Bellman was not skilled in physiognomy, and he had long heard of Unki's righteous act of saving people, and now he saw with his own eyes that he did not look like a wicked man, so the old man was relieved.
Lord Bellman cleared his throat and introduced himself, "Outlander, I am the leader of the adventurers of Misty Rose Town, and my name is Bellman. They have already told me about you, you are the hero of our Fog Rose Town, and it is my honor for you to recuperate in the Humble House. If there's something you don't take care of, you might as well speak up. Our lord, Baron Bertrand Karfin, wanted to receive you personally, but he also had to escort the mother and son back to the Holy Capital of Desire, so he didn't have time to come and visit. Please don't be surprised. ”
Unqi thought to himself: it would be better if he didn't come, but it would be troublesome to come. Is this old man in the same league as last night's Abyss Demon Refining? It doesn't look like it, but I'd better be careful.
Unchi replied vaguely: "I just did what I had to do, and it is not commendable." When my injuries heal, I'll leave on my own, hoping that my identity won't bother you. ”
Lord Bellman laughed, "Troublesome, you are too worried. Your Lord is planning to knight you and make you a valiant knight, depending on your wishes. But no matter what, if you are an enemy of the demons, you are a friend of our Holy Clan. There are never too many powerful friends. ”
Lord Bellman and Unch chatted politely for a while, and then took their leave. By this time it was evening, and the maid of the president's family brought dinner to Unki, who had eaten a full meal and continued to lie on the bed and close his eyes and meditate.
At night, the empty mansion was silent, but Unqi couldn't sleep, he put one hand on the ancestral mirror on his chest, and poured all his thoughts into it. After a few moments, Unqi had reached a state of mind of extreme tranquility, all five senses had stopped, and only spiritual consciousness was wandering in solitude. It was as if he could feel many invisible filaments wandering around him, and those invisible and untouchable threads were the threads of fate that were drawn by the stream.
Unqi had tried to touch the threads, but had never succeeded, because manipulating fate was beyond the reach of mortals. All Uenqi can do is observe these threads of fate, anticipate dangers, and be alert to them. However, Unch did not perceive any danger, or even feel potential hostility. The foreknowledge of the Ancestral Spirit Mirror clearly told him that this place was very safe, unbelievably safe.
Wu Enqi smiled bitterly for a while, and thought to himself: "Last night, the Ancestral Spirit Mirror didn't warn me, maybe it wasn't because it failed. The Ancestral Spirit Mirror didn't think I was in danger, because that Abyss Refining Demon didn't want to kill me at all, and he didn't even have any hostility towards me at all, which was really strange. ”
Once again, Unqi recalled what happened last night, and felt even more suspicious. Not only did the Abyss Demon know everything about his whereabouts, but he even knew his intentions, and what he said to him was not like ridiculing his opponent, but like waking up a junior. The Abyss Demon also behaved strangely after defeating Unki, as he seemed to be deliberately using laughter to attract the passing Daredevil Maiden, causing her to poison Unki.
Unqi pursed his lips in annoyance, thinking of the night girl he had never met, and Unqi's whole mind was suddenly in chaos. The intense longing lingered in his heart, making Unqi feel that his heart was as hot as fire, and he was extremely depressed, and he couldn't even breathe.
"He actually used this method to stop me from thinking, and he thought of it!"
Unqi let out a sigh of relief, so he had to seal all his thoughts away, not thinking about it for the time being, but just calmly recuperating from his injuries. Three days had passed in the blink of an eye, and the lord who had gone to the Demon Capital of Desire's Gate was still outside, but the wound on Unki's abdomen had healed, and his legs were still not healed, but it was no longer a problem to walk around with an iron sword.
In the evening, Unki's annoying maid helped him to the drawing-room to meet Lord Bellman, and Unqi explained his intention to leave bluntly. Lord Bellman did everything he could to keep him, saying that he would not let Unch go until Baron Bertrand Karfen had arrived, otherwise he would not be able to bear the blame of the lord. The two of them were negotiating when there was a sound of brisk footsteps outside the living room door.
A female voice asked, "Is my father in the living room?"
The maid waiting outside the living room door replied respectfully, "Yes." Miss Betty, you're back. ”
Miss Betty nodded haughtily and shouted into the living room, "Daddy, I'm back." Is that shameless wild man still at our house? Hurry up and get him away, I'm too scared to go home when he lives here. ”
The maid winked at Miss Betty, but Miss Betty didn't see it, and still kicked open the door of the drawing-room in annoyance.
In the living room, Lord Bellman's face was red, and Unch felt uncomfortable. Miss Betty strode into the drawing-room, and she glanced at the old and the young inside, stuck out her tongue, and turned her head and fled quickly.
The living room was frighteningly quiet. After half a ring, Unqi raised his head and said with a smirk, "Mr. Lord, it seems that I have given you a lot of trouble. It would be good for me to leave, and I will repay you for taking care of me during this time. ”
At this point, Lord Bellman has nothing to say, not to mention that he has a pungent eldest lady at home, and it is indeed inconvenient to take in Unqi.
"This daughter of mine is too pampered. Lord Bellman was embarrassed and said, "Please don't take her nonsense to heart." Why don't you stay in this way, I'll arrange for you to stay in the room of the Adventurer's Guild for the time being, although it's noisy, but it's well-informed, and there are many adventurers who come and go, so you won't be bored. As for your safety, I can guarantee it completely. What do you think?"
Unqi nodded and agreed without hesitation. In fact, he had come to resign to Lord Bellman more to test whether he was under house arrest, but it seemed that he was not, and they did not restrict his freedom.
