Chapter 1 The Gate of Desire Section 25 The Deadly Fire of Jealousy
When Unch found Anne in the stables, she was lying on a haystack basking in the sun.
Unqi patted her head and asked, "Miss Yanayi is gone, you know?"
Anne said, "I already know. I heard them say that last night Miss Monica ran to the Bertrand lord and cried, begging her father to cancel the engagement. The Bertrand Lord was very angry and beat Miss Monica, and he asked his men to bring in the Phoebus Knight and force Miss Monica to apologize to him. It seems that Yanayi was also present at the time, and she angrily threw her teacup and bumped into Mr. Lord. ”
Unqi squinted his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Just for this little thing?" I thought something was wrong. He also said that 'love is over, and grace is broken', which scared me all night. I've met Mr. Lord, and I've always thought he was open-minded and compassionate, and he shouldn't be a bad father. Did he have some trick up his sleeve to be caught by that dastardly Phoebus, so he had to give in to him. ”
Anne was surprised and said, "Despicable Phoebus!?Brother Unki, Anne thinks it's a bit of a ...... for you to say that. Well, I've heard that the Phoebus Knight has a Knights of the Ice Rose who can fight in battle. The demon spirit is about to fight, and Mr. Lord wants to keep the manor...... Come to think of it, Miss Monica is so pathetic. ”
Unki pursed his lips and said to Anne, "Those things have nothing to do with us, but Janayi is no longer in the manor, and without her protection, bad guys with ulterior motives may come to you for trouble." Be careful not to get caught by them. I'm worried about you, why don't you ......"
Anne tilted her head sideways and said, "Brother Unqi, Anne and her sisters want to stay in Fog Rose Town, can't you protect us?"
Unqi was stunned for a moment, he came to find Annie, originally wanted to take her out of the Fog Rose Manor, but before he could speak, he was tightly blocked by Annie.
Unqi muttered, "My strength is not as good as Yanai, and it may be a little difficult to protect you. Perhaps Miss Betty is right, in this kind of war, pulling up a volunteer army and separating one side is the way for a good man to make a living. If I have a private soldier who is good at fighting, Lord Bertrand will naturally rely on me, and it will also be a powerful help to return to the mountain in the future. It's a pity that I lost the Endless Fire Agate Bag, and the mercenaries only accept the bounty, and everything is empty talk if they don't have enough financial resources. ”
Anne raised her head, looked at Uenqi with bright green eyes, and said in a low voice, "If it's just a lack of money, Anne can help you raise some, but you can't ask me how those things came about." ”
Unch nodded in agreement.
In the evening of that day, Unchi wandered anxiously in front of the cave of the whale keepers.
"Why hasn't Annie come yet?" Unqi rubbed his hands and said to himself, "Why am I bothered to do this? If Annie brings a lot of Fire Agate Coins, she will be a little Nightingale, right? How should I face her? Or she won't come at all, and she will let other Nightclan girls bring me Fire Agate Coins......"
Unqi felt distraught and couldn't sit still, but there was a strange bird in the sky laughing at him, and the strange bird was as black as a crow, but it had eight wings and croaked around the top of Unqi's head. Unqi threw it with a stone in annoyance, trying to scare the strange bird away, but it backfired, and the eight-winged strange bird was enraged, and picked up all kinds of things to smash Unqi.
Wu Enqi thought to himself: This is really a horse being ridden by people, and people being bullied by birds, wait for me to teach this little monster a good lesson.
Unki pretends to run away in embarrassment while accumulating magical power, and there are many flexible uses of witchcraft, such as deliberately breaking the mud orb to produce a mud spray effect, which is best used to catch birds. However, the eight-winged monster bird seemed to have discovered Unki's intentions, and it suddenly rose to a higher level, completely frustrating Unki's cunning.
Unqi stared at him for a while, and said angrily, "Hey! This is underground, how can any birds fly in? Are you Annie?"
The strange bird in the air giggled, and its body swelled rapidly, turning into a human form, and sure enough, it was Anne. Her short chestnut hair fluttered in the wind, her turquoise eyes glittered in the fluorescent light, and behind her lay eight black wings, which stretched out in the air like eight jet-black blades piercing the night sky.
Annie landed from the sky, tilted her head to look at Unqi, and said with some worry: "You found out, Brother Unqi, can you help me keep it a secret? My bloodline has been awakened, but everyone doesn't know it." After my bloodline was awakened, I actually had eight wings, like a nasty poisonous spider, and I didn't like it at all. If they knew, they would have called me a monster. ”
Unqi smiled and said, "I know you're not a monster, this form of yours is the bloodline awakening of the dual bloodline. Impure bloodlines are usually unable to awaken, but once awakened, they gain extraordinary powers. If I'm right, you're half NightClan and the other half WarClan. After awakening, the Warclan has two faces and eight arms, so your bloodline awakened and gave birth to eight black wings; the Warclan has two heads, strange, why don't you have two heads?"
Anne said angrily, "You are talking nonsense! Hmph, I'm angry, I'm going to ignore you anymore. ”
Anne was about to fight, but Unchi held his head and dodged while making a series of reparations. The lively baby star whales also jumped out of the cold pool, imitating the appearance of Wuenqi, standing upright and floating in the air, holding their heads with their fins, twisting their fat bodies and short tail fins, screaming and running in all directions. The baby star whales were noisy, and the underground whale house suddenly became lively like a busy city.
Seeing the cute appearance of the star whale babies, Anne was already laughing, and Unqi was also happy to lean forward and lean back. After laughing for a while, Anne took a cloth bag from her waist and handed it to Unki. Inside the bag were a dressing box encrusted with precious stones, a small mirror in white gold, gold scissors inlaid with diamonds, a jeweled brooch, and beaded flowers made of amber and crystals...... Unqi looked through the contents of the bag, which was full of expensive toys and girls' trinkets, but there was not a single fire agate coin.
Unch was disappointed, and Anne looked at his face and asked in a low voice, "Isn't this enough?" ”
Unqi sighed and said, "It's not that it's not enough, it's just ...... Where did all this stuff come from?"
Anne said unhappily: "You promised me not to ask, your words don't count!"
Unqi smiled bitterly and had no choice but to stop asking. However, even if he didn't ask, Unqi knew very well that these things belonging to the aristocratic girl were definitely not Annie's, or that she had stolen them, or that the financiers who supported him in forming the Volunteers were actually someone else. In Fog Rose Town, the only girl who met Anne and could get such a bag of treasures was Miss Monica of the Fuffin family.
Seeing Anne away, Unchi was torn between the bag and the bag. He wants to form a mercenary army in order to fish in troubled waters in the war between demons and demons, increase his strength, and return to Yunyun Mountain, but not to defend the Fog Rose Manor and play a dishonorable third party in the marriage of the noble lady.
Unqi tossed the cloth bag in his hand, and thought to himself, "Phoebus must be a liar, and if the Demon Emperor Tak Eberon really has an illegitimate child, it is impossible for him to go to such a poor country to seduce the daughter of an inferior nobleman." I can see that Lord Bertrand is a fool? he wants to borrow Phoebus's strength, knowing that he is a shameless liar, he has to force his own daughter. As she left, she said, 'Loyal, optimistic, and courageous, that's Monica,' and she wanted me to help her. ”
Unki stood with his hands in his hands, a contemptuous smile on his face, he had already made up his mind, he was going to stir it up in the puddle of Misty Rose, and turn it upside down, at least not to make one guy too proud.
Unch packed his sack and slipped out of the underground whale hutch down the tunnel, and in the darkness of the night he had stopped Miss Betty's carriage in front of Lord Bellman's mansion.
Miss Betty poked her head out of the carriage and saw that it was Uenqi, so she smiled mischievously, "Isn't your face swollen anymore?"
"Thanks to you," said Uenchi, "my cheek is now more resistant to beatings. It's not convenient to talk here, can I get in your car?"
Miss Betty pushed the door open and made a gesture of please, and Unch stepped into the car and sat down beside Miss Betty.
Wu Enqi said: "The day before yesterday, the eldest lady, you taught you too right. I have already decided to follow your guidance to form a volunteer army, sweep away the demons, step on the Baiding Plain, wash the spiritual mountain in blood, and achieve great deeds for a thousand years. So, Miss, you must help me. ”
"That's like a word!" said Miss Betty, smugly, "what do you want me to do for you?"
Unki handed her new cloth bag to Miss Betty and said, "I would like to ask you to help me sell these things in the guild and exchange them for cash, so that I can recruit warriors to defend our town of Fog Rose." ”
Miss Betty glanced into the bag, her face turned cold, and she said coldly, "How did these things come about? You are so bold, have you finally become a thief?"
"I'm naturally not a thief," Wu Enqi said, "The hero doesn't ask about his origin, so I have to ask you to help with this." ”
Miss Betty snorted and said, "You are not a thief, then, she gave it to you." She wants to build a private army, and you're doing things for her. I can't help with this, and I don't want to. I'll tell you the truth, you don't want to sell them in Misty Rose. Well...... Forget it, I'll show you the way, you go to the black market in Jinglan Harbor, where all the goods are 'heroes don't ask where they come from'. Please do it yourself. ”
Miss Betty unceremoniously threw Unch out of the carriage and walked into her mansion in a huff. Behind her, a dim shadow asked sadly: "Miss, there is no black market in the Shocking Harbor, do you want me to be him halfway?"
Miss Betty said angrily, "Bastard! He dared to come to Monica, and dared to come to me to help." You go tell Siddle that the bastard stole something from the Misty Rose Manor, and tell him to kill him. ”
