Volume II Gran Forest 124 . apprehend
"I've got to eat two bowls every night with such a big bowl, and that's eight minutes full."
Linus's words made Xiu Zhe even more speechless, although he ate a lot, but compared to Linnas, it was a small thing, compared to the amount of rice that Celia ate at night was less than one-fifth of the rice in Linnas's rice bowl, and it was even less pitiful.
The three of them sat down to eat while talking and laughing, although Celia's cooking skills were not top-notch, Xiu Zhe ate very fragrantly, and the four meats, one vegetable and one soup tasted very good.
Linus still eats like a beggar who hasn't eaten for a few days, and Celia, who is sitting opposite him, eats in the same way as Yong Shili when she has outsiders.
"This dish seems to be salty..."Celia took a small piece of meat and put it in her mouth, and said softly with a slight frown.
"Salty? Why didn't I eat it? I think your cooking is delicious. Linus slurred, slamming his rice into his mouth.
Xiu Zhe took a bite of the plate of meat that Celia had just eaten, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and said softly: "It's quite delicious." ”
Celia was a little happy when she heard the praise, after all, this was a meal she had worked so hard to make, and she naturally wanted to be recognized by others.
Looking at the emotions revealed by Selia's clear red pupils, Xiu Zhe couldn't understand for a while where such a pure and easy-to-understand girl was in danger? Like Sothia in the Moonlight Tavern, Sharan, the headmaster of the School of Magic, or Queen Maya of the Dark Elves, they all give people a very deep feeling of the city.
And Celia is like a girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, and she will be very happy because of the small praise of others, if this is pretended, the scheming of the girl in front of her is too deep.
But Xiu Zhe thought about it, what was the point of following Linus? To put it nicely, Linus is a mastercraftsman, to say that it is ugly, he is a hard-working blacksmith...
Just as Xiu Zhe was thinking about these things, Linus suddenly turned his head and asked, "Have you found the Black Nightmare?" ”
Retracting his thoughts, Xiu Zhe shook his head and said: "No, I almost turned the two forests of Loran and Gran Forest upside down and didn't find a single black nightmare, and those adventurers who accepted the bounty to investigate the black nightmare didn't find anything, now Loran is in ruins, and Gran Forest only has ordinary goblins and cat demons." ”
"The Minotaurs have been slaughtered?" Celia suddenly interjected.
"An ordinary minotaur has a reward of 1,000 gold coins for his head, and without the protection of Sauta, the minotaurs in these two forests have become extinct." Xiu Zhe's voice was very calm without a trace of sadness, this is the inevitable fate of this race, who told them to attack humans like crazy?
For some reason, Celia felt a little blocked in her heart and buried her head in eating, but the strangeness that Celia showed did not escape Xiuzhe's eyes.
When Xiu Zhe was thinking about whether to ask Celia what was wrong, Linus suddenly spoke: "I think you seem to be very obsessed with this black nightmare, why?" ”
"It's a long story."
Since Linus had forgotten about Luxi, Xiu Zhe didn't bother to explain to him, so he simply fooled him with Forrest Gump's mantra.
"You are becoming more and more like Forrest Gump, and everything can be summed up in these four words." Linus rolled his eyes, stopped talking, and quickly picked up the food in his mouth.
Linus ate extremely quickly, and it only took half an hour for the two large bowls to be eaten, and Xiu Zhe even suspected that he swallowed it without chewing much at all.
After dinner, Linus habitually walked out of the blacksmith shop, and Xiu Zhe followed him out to digest food. As soon as Linus stepped out of the smithy, he lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, a look of intoxication on his face.
"A cigarette after dinner, race over the living immortals, hahaha!" Linus didn't agree with this, and the pungent smell made him raise his palm and fan it in front of his nose.
"Celia's background is a mystery, even I don't know very well, but Sosiya came to me once, and my head is not bright, I can only guess that maybe Celia has something to do with Sosya, right?" Linus said nonchalantly.
A little bit to do with Sothia? Xiu Zhe was shocked in his heart, and then frowned, the possibility that Celia is an elf was ruled out by Xiu Zhe, elves all have long ears, and Celia's ears are no different from humans. But apart from that, what does Sosiya have to do with Celia?
"Celia told me after you were gone that she seemed to have seen you somewhere, but she couldn't remember where or when."
"There are times when people feel as if they've been somewhere or done something, and I've had that illusion too." Although Xiu Zhe couldn't explain why he felt this way, he didn't take it to heart.
Linus shrugged, this feeling most people have had, maybe it was from a past life, right?
"I won't stay here for long, I care about the Black Nightmare, there will be no progress in staying here, and the Black Nightmare won't come up on its own."
Hearing Xiu Zhe say this, Linus also nodded in agreement, the news here is very deserted, and he doesn't have to keep Xiu Zhe, young people should break through more, although he is only in his thirties, there is no reason to say such things...
After spending a week in Linus's blacksmith shop, Xiuzhe departs for Huttonmar, and Linus tells him before he leaves that he will return a year later to retrieve the Taidao made from meteorites.
Returning to Hutton Mar, Xiu Zhe did not go to the Moonlight Tavern to find Sosia, and through understanding Xiu Zhe, he knew that Selia was just an ordinary girl who had no magic power, mind energy, and sword energy, but Xiu Zhe still told Linus to be careful, some people should not be underestimated even if they do not have great strength.
Rushing all the way to the royal palace set up in Huttonmar, where the guards became more tight, he was not puzzled by the second Xiuzhe, because along the way he saw many Delos Imperial troops in different costumes patrolling the streets.
It took a lot of effort to get into the palace, but before he could reach the Lanyue Pavilion where Yong Shili was, he was surrounded by troops, led by Queen Skadi's personal bodyguard, Lobach.
Before Xiu Zhe could ask, the two soldiers behind him stepped forward and put their big hands on Xiu Zhe's shoulders to take him down.
"Don't you want your hand anymore?" Xiu Zhe's pair of dark eyes glanced at the soldier on his right, and his tone did not have a trace of emotion, as if the person who was captured in the next second was not him.
A cold aura erupted from Xiu Zhe's body, and a trace of purple-black mist emerged from his body, and under the influence of this breath, the two soldiers subconsciously removed the hand that was clamped on Xiu Zhe's shoulder.
"Xiuzhe, I will arrest and interrogate you in the name of Queen Skadi." Dressed in steel armor, Lobach unfolded the arrest warrant in his hand.
Xiu Zhe looked at it intently, and the brown paper only said that he was arrested and did not write anything about it.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Xiu Zhe glanced at the hundreds of soldiers around him who surrounded him in layers of retreats, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.
After a while, Xiuzhe said, "I'll go by myself." ”
As the words fell, the purple-black mist that lingered outside Xiu Zhe's body dissipated in a blink of an eye, and at the same time, the cold aura also withdrew into his body.
Lobach breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the young man in front of him had been listed as extremely dangerous, although it was a fantasy to kill him from here with Xiu Zhe's strength, but it was still extremely easy to pull hundreds or even thousands of elite soldiers as backs.
"You are just suspicious, we will not wronged a good person but we will not let go of a bad person, there is a strong smell of blood in the secret room where you forged the weapon before, we suspect that you use the human body or human blood to refine the sword, this is not allowed by the law."
Xiu Zhe slapped his heart but showed no expression on his face, how did he know that using human blood to refine swords was a big taboo? But even if you do it, you don't want to defend anything, at least in your heart, you don't want to do it.
But on the surface, Xiu Zhe will not admit it, and Luo Bahe said it very clearly, he is just suspicious, if he can use the reason of his own cultivation to burn blood and qi to prevaricate the past, it would be great, and Xiu Zhe does not want to do it unless he has to.
Lobach and 100 elite soldiers temporarily imprisoned Xiuzhe in a closed secret room, and whether Xiuzhe was finally imprisoned or regained his freedom still needs to be investigated.
Although the dinner is not sumptuous, it is also full, and no matter how stupid anyone can have such treatment, they know that someone has secretly helped them.
That person doesn't need to think about it, Xiu Zhe knows that it is Yong Shili, but he is not worried about his own situation, but is worried about Yong Shili's current situation, after all, she asked outsiders to give him a refining room.
But Xiu Zhe's worries are completely superfluous, now Yong Shili has already turned the principality upside down, she is not a princess with a title, and she has always had the support of Ning Yingyi, a general who holds military power.
"Sister Skadi, Xiu Zhe will never use human life to refine swords, he practices tricks related to blood and qi, and it is inevitable that the secret room will smell of blood!" Yong Shili shouted as he rushed into Skadi's dormitory despite Lobach's obstruction.
Skadi looked at the anxious Yong Shili and sighed lightly: "Xiao Li, do you think I want to issue an arrest warrant?" It was Dick who decided that Xiu Zhe was the murderer of his two apprentices..."
"He has no evidence, how can he say that Xiu Zhe is a murderer? And I don't think those two women are a good thing. A trace of anger flashed in Yong Shili's beautiful eyes, although Dick, as the chief magician of the principality, has great power, there is no evidence to prove that Xiu Zhe is the murderer, this old guy just wants to take this opportunity to suppress himself and strive to bring down Ning Yingyi.
Once Ning Yingyi collapses, Skadi will also be hit hard, after all, Ning Yingyi is now in the same camp as Skady.
Skady stretched out his finger in front of his mouth to signal Yong Shili not to continue, and Yong Shili snorted coldly and sat on the chair with a puff.
"He has no evidence and can't detain Xiu Zhe for too long, I still have the most right to speak in this country, and fortunately, Xiu Zhe didn't have the impulse to make trouble." Scardy smiled absently, she dared to pack a ticket Dick couldn't find any evidence at all.
