Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 37 Waltz of Him and Her
The song does not bring out your beauty, but it highlights my abusive feelings. βSean Friedrich II
ββββββββββββββββ
Gangtan squatted down, grabbed a handful of charcoal of dirt, and sniffed it, a pungent smell like magma flowing through, the smell of sulfur.
The turquoise color of the surroundings was gone, and except for the black residue left on the ground by the large trees that could not support the ground, the rest of the trees that stood in place were replaced with a black coat. A path of flame began from the river and led to the depths of the woods, and the flames fluttered on the ground, burning the plants on the ground, and still burning the life of the land.
Looking at the increasingly obvious hole in the center of the river, the opposite river was full of crows, their eyes glowing red, staring at any moving life on this side of the land, staring at the Gangda and ogres that appeared. They can't wait to eat every piece of flesh on Gang's body, but the corpses of their kind hanging from the barrier warn them that they still need to be patient, waiting for the central barrier to disappear and eat all the life on the other side.
"Oops! That's a real deal! As soon as he got up, he looked at the hungry eyes, and felt that things were beyond imagination, and this was not a simple little problem.
Looking at the path formed by the flames, it seems that a person has walked through it, and this is considered a road when someone walks? After thinking about it for a while, Gang-chan decided to follow this path to see what was going on, beckoned to the ogre, who was thinking about life in place, motioned for him to follow, and by the way, pointed to the strange archer who was thrown on the ground by the ogre, reminding the ogre not to forget to take that unlucky guy with him.
Gangta's actions interrupted the ogre's musings, and seeing that the ogre reacted, Gangda walked along the path of flames, and after walking a few hundred meters, he found that the ogre had not followed, and was still in place, as if talking to himself.
Xiao Zuo: "Wow! Is there a barbecue party here? A lot of trees have been burned! β
Xiao You: "Fool! It's all your fault, otherwise we would have been able to eat barbecue! β
Xiao Zuo: "It's not to blame the ogre, the ogre can help light the fire!" β
As he spoke, the flames in his left hand began to coalesce, and a burst of fire was fired forward, smashing straight against the central barrier, and the crows on the opposite side chirped one after another, intimidating the ogres who dared to provoke them.
Xiao You: "Stupid, it's a shame for the ogre." β
Xiao Zuo: "Ah! It didn't burn, and the ogre was angry! β
Xiao You: "Hahaha~ Big stupid, stupid ogre." β
Gangda reluctantly walked back to where he was, and if the ogre was not forcibly taken, the conversation they saw could last all day until they were hungry.
"Don't be in a daze anymore, keep up with me." Gangda stopped the conversation between the ogres, it should be said that it was a conversation between two heads, God knows that this weird race can also give birth to two different personalities of heads, Gangda once again misses Sean, at least that bastard boy won't be so nervous. Staring at the ogre fiercely, he said weakly: "The situation is wonderful now, I can't be sure what kind of danger there is, keep up with me, don't get distracted, and bring it..."
Gangda turned his head to look at the strange archer lying on the ground, the corners of his mouth hidden under the cover turned up, and said, "It seems that you don't need to, stranger, you should get up and go by yourself!" β
Fred Arnold, who had already woken up, saw that the disguise had been recognized, sat up with a big grin, and said to Gangda with that enthusiastic smile: "Thank you for your help, I was so tired that I fainted, without you, something bad might happen to me!" You are my savior, how can I repay you? β
"Don't pretend!" Gangda said coldly, "I have already smelled the stench of gold coins on your body, get up and keep up, I don't think you will hide something." β
"Sure enough, in front of my peers, there are flaws in how I pretend to be." Patting the dirt on his body, Fred Arnold stood up and said, "Of course, this is also related to my safety, and I will not hide anything." β
Gang-snort and showed his belief in Fred Arnold's words, and said to the ogre, who was still in a daze, "That's the best, go, ogre, take a good look at our new guest." β
Fred Arnold hurriedly waved his hand, "No, I won't make any small moves, Your Excellency. Or rather, Your Excellency the Bounty Hunter? β
"Looks like you already know the name of the bounty hunter? Let me think about it, I saved your life last night, and now I want you to follow us to keep you safe. With a snap of his fingers, Gang's big black eyes shone to see the treasure, "Fifty gold coins, you should know that only money and commissions are the most reliable!" β
"You're a robbery!" Hearing this number, Fred Arnold was no longer calm, this is not a worthwhile commission, this is a naked robbery.
"Thirty gold coins, how about it, fifty gold coins is impossible." Fred Arnold bargained.
"Forty-five!"
"Forty!"
"Deal, sign the contract!" Gang Satisfied, said happily, and made another deal, since the ogre was brought with him, the business was getting harder and harder, and the customers would always be scared away by the ogre's stupid look. Why don't you invite Kid Shaun with you later? That kid loves money to the bone.
"And sign a contract? It doesn't have to be so formal! β
Gang Cheng had an irrefutable expression on his face, "Then you go back alone!" β
Fred Arnold could only resign himself to his fate: "Okay, okay! My peers are enemies, count me unlucky, if Sean is not as difficult as you! β
Looking at Fred Arnold, who was putting his handprint on the contract, Gang looked at him, "I think I heard you say Sean?" β
"Huh?! Are you Gangda? Fred Arnold broke out in a cold sweat.
ββββββββββββββββ
"Molneven?"
In the quiet environment, Sean finally slept well, feeling the pain in his body, which was much better than his previous weakness.
Sean, who had just woken up, saw a dark shadow guarding him, anxiously staring at his sleeping self. Don't ask why you can see the anxious emotion on the face of a black shadow, the head of the black shadow is anxiously out of shape.
"Here I am, my dear people! I'm so glad you woke up! β
That's right, it was Moore Neven's voice, a gentle tone that was completely different from Arthurst's hysteria.
Looking at the bare surroundings, Sean seemed to be back to the bombed-out hut, and Moore Nevin kindly made a small tent out of some broken linen to cover Sean's head, hoping that the people could rest well and not be disturbed by the sun, although this place, even if the sun rose to its highest point, the whole environment was still dim.
"Can you help me up?" Sean felt that he had slept for a long time, and the blood in his body was urging him to move, but Moore Naiwen did not react, could it be that a strange personality was going to appear again? Sean asked again, "Patriarch?" β
"Haha! I'm sorry, but I remembered that the Queen might be coming to visit me. β
The black shadow Moore Nevin scratched his head embarrassedly, and with each scratch, the black shadow on his head scattered into a ball, "Do you want to get up and take a walk?" β
Sean nodded, and also breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't want to see the black shadow named Arthurst, every time he came up, he hugged himself and gnawed and bitten, it was easy for readers to misunderstand!
The black paws gently supported Sean's arms and slowly helped Sean to get up. Unlike Arthurst's sharp claws that pierced into his body, Moore Nevin's black claws made Sean feel particularly soft, and this patriarch was still a gentle man, Sean thought.
After getting up, there was a ruin all around, the potion of the crucible was surprisingly powerful, that guy called Orfik was really making a healing potion, wouldn't this potion be a spiral to the sky if he drank it? Sean couldn't help but feel a little relieved, or Moore Neven, the patriarch, really hoped that he could exist for a long time, at least until Sean returned to the camp.
It was desolate, not even a few dry trees, let alone moving creatures, not even the crows that had attacked Sean.
Sean walked around the ruined hut, not daring to go too far, and Sean feared that he would have more accidents.
Walking slowly, the blood in the body also began to function normally, and the body was still a little weak due to excessive blood loss, Sean felt that if he continued to lie down, it would be difficult to stand up in the future, and sure enough, with a slight movement, the body also recovered, and sure enough, life lies in movement.
In his heart, Sean decided to develop the habit of exercising after returning to the tavern, and a good body would have a stronger recovery even if it was injured.
Moore Neven, sitting alone on the edge of the bed, maintained the posture of guarding Sean, his big black mouth closed one by one, as if to say something.
"Patriarch? Patriarch! Can you hear me? β
"I'm sorry, my people." After Sean shouted several times, Moore Nevin finally reacted, "What's wrong?" β
"Hi..." It was a real headache, and every silence or sluggishness of the dark shadow made Sean's heart beat faster, fearing that Arthurst would suddenly appear. "Ahem... Patriarch, do we have any other people? β
"No, hmm... It's just you and me. Seeing that Sean was deep in thought, Moore Naiwen hurriedly comforted Sean and said, "But, my clan, don't worry, isn't there still us in the Shadow Clan?" One day, our companions will be more and our families will be lively! β
"Huh?! Multiply! Wait, patriarch. You just said that the Shadow Clan is just you and me? "Sean has a bad premonition that this is more important than life and death.
"Yes! We can make our race thrive! The black shadow said happily, don't ask how you can see how he is happy, everyone who comes out to mix must learn to read faces, otherwise he can only become a thirty-year-old virgin magician like Owen.
"Uh..." Sean broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that the wound hurt so much, I really wish it hurt to death, "Ask more, patriarch, your gender, it's not that I'm too talkative!" That, if you don't want to say it, you just say whether you are 1 or 0! β
After Sean asked, he nervously waited for the black shadow's answer, because this answer is very important, which determines whether Sean wants to live or not, and he can't let Uncle Sean know the man! If the dark shadow is female, Sean is also very entangled, this is not his favorite type.
The shadow was silent, and Sean nervously answered as he tensed his nerves against Arthurst's presence.
Half an hour passed like this, and the shadow still didn't react. Sean looked bored at the bombed-out house, maybe he could find the hidden treasures, except for the residue is the residue, Sean can't find anything interesting.
Looking at the rag covering his head, Sean thought that if he changed it to white, it would be a good time for him to hear mourning all around.
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
"Bell Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Sean's mouth seemed to open up, and an accent came from a distance, like a cold, serious sound from the collision of an iron rod and cold steel.
After the accent, a rhythmic, melodic percussion sound can be heard in the distance.
3/4 time, like a waltz, inviting visitors from afar to dance together.
The melodic music, but played with a cold timbre, makes people not only frightened, but also curious about what kind of instrument can produce such strange music.
Two bars, and it was played quickly. The third measure opens, and Sean finally knows what kind of instrument it is.
The whole body is made up of skeletons, strings that emit a silvery cold light, and the bone keys rise and fall under a pair of white bone hands. With the tapping of the white bone fingers, the silver strings and the big bone rod constantly collide together, clicking, and the tone that revolves around the fulcrum on the upper part vividly produces a sense of rotation and circle, and a waltz of the world of death invites special guests, dancing and spinning under the melody.
Behind the piano made of bones, two giant elephants drag a huge palace. There were many skeletal attendants standing on the palace, and something was constantly sprinkled from the basket they carried on their arms. As the melody and the palace got closer and closer, Sean could see what the skeletons were doing. Flowers in the sky sprinkled out from the palace, and in this lifeless land, the purple and bewitching flowers seemed so abrupt, as if expressing the grace of the nobles at the top of the palace.
"Can you hear me, Molnevin? Someone has come looking for a venue. β
Oh no! Sean hurried to wake up his thighs, which remained silent, not even a respectful smile.
"Patriarch! ! Big Fool Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Looking at the black shadow that seemed to be in a state of flux, Sean felt that this must be deliberate, if he wanted to pretend to be dead to avoid finding fault, he would at least have to hold his head and squat on his feet, instead of sitting there with his head down.
To Sean's relief, the huge palace was parked at a safe distance from the broken hut and was not directly crushed.
As the second law of another world: when the big guy appears, there must be BGM and special effects.
From the top of the palace, a long staircase of white bones protrudes, and two rows of skeleton attendants stop scattering flowers and get down on one knee to wait for the protagonist to appear.
The bones in front of the bone piano stopped the rhythmic repertoire, paused for a moment, and struck the keys made of white bones with the white bone fingers again.
Solemn and majestic, it is like entering the battlefield and winning the victory under a war song to dedicate to the king.
Under the BGM, the curtain that covered the highest part of the palace was opened, and a black air mass erupted from the top.
The legs with high heels crackled on the bone stairs, and the purple skin carried a seductive and noble feeling, which was different from the sesame when Sean saw the woman, either the white-skinned Angel, the healthy wheat-colored Brawney, or the slightly dark-skinned elf Tracy, the purple skin of her body seemed so natural that people did not dare to touch it, for fear of tarnishing her existence. With slender and sturdy legs, he walks slowly on the stage to pass the boring schedule. She, like a work of art created by the god of beauty, only the urge to blaspheme the beauty in Sean's mind is the pain of the shaking eyes.
Talent is such a thing, in her body, if it is seen by Tracy, it is enough to make Tracy ashamed to death, and only Angel can compete with it. The body was obscured by little cloth, and a mischievous tail flicked around behind him. Let Sean pity her, she can only wear so little fabric as a dress, and she can't find a good, complete piece of fabric to wear on her body, if it weren't for the fact that she was still young, Sean would be able to show sympathy for her. Flaming red lips urged the man to taste the sweetness, the horns on both sides of the head, the curved arc seemed to be the most perfect angle in the world, and the soft eyes seemed to devour the person in front of him.
"You're Uncle Morenvan... The people of Moore Nevin said? β
Sean, who was fascinated by it, didn't feel her approach, and was still immersed in the domineering momentum.
Suddenly asked, Sean replied in a panic: "Yes... Yes. "Ahh Shame on you, Sean thought.
The woman looked at Moore Neven, who was pondering on the side, and Sean hurriedly said, "Do you want me to wake up the patriarch?" β
The woman waved her hand, "Don't bother him." After speaking, he sighed, "It's okay, it's okay to find you." β
The woman licked her lips, and Sean was fascinated by it, it was damn sexy.
"Looking for me, what do you want me to do?"
"Don't be nervous, just dance, you'll know."
"Hey... I won't..." Without waiting for Sean to refuse, the woman pulled Sean into her arms, and Sean, who had just reached the height of the woman's chest, was dizzy when he was hit by the mountain peak.
The white bones struck the keyboard, and the music sounded, which was the brisk waltz from before.
With the rhythm, the woman pulls the confused Sean to keep up, and a waltz adds a touch of spring to this barren land.
