"Brother Shi, are we really going to help Jiji's predecessor kill someone?" The little fox frowned with a good-looking brow, and a worried face: "Grandma said that Jiji's predecessors are not good enough, and Grandpa Ye is bright and upright." ”

"Of course, he promised us good things." Ling Yun replied as he walked.

"Then why didn't he go to Grandpa Ye for help?" The fox asked.

"Because the old man is very busy, too. Do you remember the ducks before that? The fact that those ducks can fly means that they have been wild for a long time, so the old man and the princess should not have been there some time ago. That day may just have been a coincidence. They've been so busy outside lately that they don't have time to go back to the love nest, do you think he will take care of it? Ling Yun explained. Actually, this explanation is very nonsense, but it is true that the old man and the princess are very busy. Ji Jiji's reluctance to find the old man probably had something to do with the injury on his face, and there was a secret that Ling Yun didn't know that Ji Jiji didn't want the old man to know.

"Oh." The little fox said yes but couldn't stop worrying, because her sixth sense told her that it was not a good thing for Ling Yun.

"Let's go fast, we'll be there soon." Ling Yun said.

【Downcast's Request】【Main Branch】【Red】

Help [Wind Shadow Swordmaster] [Jijiji] and kill [Eye of the Castle] Eddick in [Princely Castle]

Time limit: within three days

Rewards: Lots of experience; 【Windward】(Sword)

[Princely Castle] is not far from [Black Fire Ridge], it is only a day's journey, but the forest it has to pass through has high-level monsters, Ling Yun can only carefully detour, and the journey of going around and around has increased by half a day.

The mission time is only one and a half days.

"Brother Shi, look, we're here!" The raccoon pointed to an ancient castle-like fortress not far in front of him and shouted happily.

The Castle was once the fief of a famous prince, and after the unremitting efforts of this prince, it developed into a prosperous city, and the nearby trade routes were constantly built here, which eventually brought complete prosperity. The good times did not last long, not long after the death of the prince, a great plague suddenly occurred here, and the [Princely Castle] was completely abandoned. However, decades after the plague, the officials and soldiers sent by the [Hundred Flowers Dynasty] regained its vitality, and with the help of its favorable geographical location, the [Princely Castle] once again became the transportation artery and economic city of [Hundred Flowers].

"Ahhhh The little fox was lying on the table in the teahouse, his two little ears shrugging.

"Don't lift the veil, let's sit here and rest, I'll go find out the news." Ling Yun smiled, picked up the teacup and leaned over to the table next to him.

As a commercial city, merchants should often pass through here, and teahouses and inns are the best places to find out the news, and it is said that [Eye of the Castle] is an official here, so it is not surprising that the merchants here know some news about [Eye of the Castle Edik].

"Mmmmmmmm~~~" The little fox drank two sips of tea, raised two big tails and flicked them, and looked at Ling Yun talking a little boringly, as if he was still talking and laughing.

But Ling Yun came back soon, and in less than a while, Ling Yun had already traveled around the entire teahouse, asking all the people and even the boss and waiters, but he couldn't get any news about [Eye of the Castle Edik]!

"What's the matter, Brother Shi?" The fox asked.

"There is no such person." Ling Yun said.

There's only one way.

"Fox, you're waiting for me here. I'll go back as soon as I go. Ling Yun said and walked out.

"Ah, where are you going, brother?" Seeing that Lingyun was leaving, the little fox shouted nervously, and the surrounding tea customers all looked over, and the little face under the veil of the little fox turned red all of a sudden.

"Ugh." Ling Yun's head ached, the lethality of the little fox was too great, but it turned out that she came like this, I was afraid that she would not be able to cause trouble later......

"Come with me, little fox." Ling Yun turned around and pulled the little fox away.

"Hee-hee, okay." When the little fox saw Ling Lingyun turn around and take her away, his frowning brows immediately melted.

The two walked out of the teahouse and walked directly into the nearest alley.

As soon as he entered the depths of the alley, Ling Yun immediately shouted into the air:

"Senior, did someone help me deliver it? You also saw the situation just now, come out and explain! ”

A deep voice suddenly came from the void: "How do you know I'm near you?" The old man stood in front of Lingyun, his broad back was like a curtain covering the sky, all the wind and rain for Lingyun at the moment.

"I thought you weren't there until I was dead." Ling Yun rolled his eyes.

"What kind of bullshit, 'the princess is in a hurry, invite each other to do something', if you don't just come back, I think your life will be hanging." The old man said.

"Brother Yun, you ..... Belch...... Ahhhh...........h What did you throw on me, boy!! Don't..... Ahh Jijiji rolled to the ground, twitching wildly, and roaring like a beast.

"Get out of the way!" When the old man got drunk, he pulled Ling Yun and the little fox up like the wind, and swooped to hide in the distance.

The wind curled the hair of the three of them, and the hair danced desperately in the wind, as if to see off the desperate walkers. The old man looked at the round ball formed by Ji Jiji's body without saying a word, and from the beginning when he came here to see Ji Jiji, his face was always low, and there was a trace of hesitation hidden in his eyes.

"Boom" black light erupted, and the black substance on Ji Jiji's body turned into dust and fell to the ground.

"What a layout, little brother."

"I'm innocent, but I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful, senior, you're okay." Ling Yun spread his hands, and a crystal bottle fell to the ground. The old man didn't take the bottle of black liquid, but returned it to Ling Yun, and he didn't understand how to use it after thinking about it for a long time, but now it's right, what is it called? Luck?

"How did you know I used it..."Ji Jiji's voice was a hoarse ghostly scream, and the black liquid completely corroded his body into a creak, covered in scars and char.

"No, I just associate that little mechanism on the bottle with your face. The small mechanism on the bottle was used to connect to several other experimental reagents, and you said that you had been in that hall all along, and the corrosive scars on your face made me have to guess. Ling Yun said it truthfully.

After Ji Jiji listened, he did not speak again. Ling Yun's purpose is just to fight so that he can't escape, and the old man will solve everything behind. In order to pull Ling Yun into the water, he even gave Ling Yun all the preparations to complete the task, but he also gave Ling Yun the opportunity to see him clearly. He lost from start to finish.

"It's been a long time, Brother Yun, master, comrade-in-arms........" Ji Jiji looked at the old man calmly, but his whole body was still trembling slightly, and the pain brought to him by the blackening potion was far more than the calm on the surface.

"yes, long time no see." The old man's face was calm, but his eyes were full of bloodshot and betrayed him: "You betrayed us? ”

"Betraying us? No! I just betrayed you! I don't believe your anymore, as Navis said, your faith is just a beautiful dream! Knowing that it is impossible to achieve but insisting on going your own way, you are always like this, more than 2,000 years, you still can't figure it out, even if we are all here, it's not a failure, we even abandoned everything for this, relatives, lovers, but what have we gained? ”

"There are only a dozen of us, and what can we do, in the end, we are just being used as pawns. Next time, do we have a chance? Do we have another time!? In their eyes, we are just a bunch of clowns. I've done it once, I'm tired and don't want to lose it all again. Although, I have long since left. ”

Ji Jiji calmly said all this, as if he had fallen apart.

"I'm a failure." Ji Jiji seemed to say this sentence with all his might, and then suddenly shouted: "However, you will always be just a stubborn loser!" ”

"Coax~~~" Ji Jiji's body burst out with a dazzling red light.

"Bang !!" The huge explosion instantly annihilated the [Princely Castle] into ashes, leaving nothing but endless sorrow. 33

In the red light of destruction, the old man stood in front of Ling Yun and the little fox, and he didn't even shake because of this, blocking all the impact for Ling Yun and the little fox.

The red flame was only as brief as a firework, and disappeared after the last bloom in its life.

There is no longer Ji Jiji in the world, and there is no longer [Wind Shadow Sword Saint].

The continuous prompts caught Ling Yun a little off guard, after all, he didn't expect that he would have four rankings.

He knows that he can definitely be ranked first, of course, this is not narcissism. As for the [Wealth List] and [Rank List], thanks to the two months he spent with the old man before, the daily materials made his money squeeze into the top ten without opening a currency exchange window, but the power of the big guild should not be underestimated, but there is no place to use a lot of money in the early stage, so it is generally not concentrated together, as for the level, except for the two months of desperate monster farming, these high-level tasks are a few days out.

"Yo, the kid should be in a good ranking, right?" The old man suddenly turned his head with a hippie smile, and his face was full of unbeatenness: "Come, this is a reward for you, [Lone Star Ring] has taught you."

Lone Star Ring (Skill)

Turning [Lone Star Sword] into a ring not only increases the speed of equipping [Lone Star Sword], but also can use [Lone Star Thirteen Swords] to summon a sword from the [Lone Star Sword] in the form of a ring at any time.

"By the way, Satsuki's new mission for you!" The old man didn't give Ling Yun a chance to speak at all, and threw over a scroll.

It's just like splitting Lingyun and the little fox. Ling Yun took one last look at the giant pit under his feet, sighed, and pinched the scroll. He didn't know for a moment whether what he was doing was right or wrong

How can you say that the map of the [Heavenly God] is huge, Ling Yun took a moment, the [Flower Dynasty] is a total of more than five days to get here, but Ling Yun is still within the range of the [Flower Dynasty], of course, it will not count the [Princely Castle] that has just disappeared.

A burst of white light flashed, and Lin Yun and the little fox disappeared into the air.

The old man was smiling goodbye one moment, and the next moment he had turned his head into a young man full of vicissitudes.

Took a deep look at the ground.

"I ........"

For a long time, I really didn't say anything.

———————————————————— [Downcast's Request] ended here———

On the bustling street of [Flower Dynasty], Ling Yun walked in front and looked at the scroll, and the little fox followed behind, looking a little sullen.

"Little fox, we still have to go to [Xuanmu Ya] to investigate the case this time, you ....." Ling Yun said and turned around, just as the little fox suddenly stopped.

"Brother Shi, I was wrong, can you forgive me?" The little fox lowered its head, and its small black and silky hair fluttered gently in the air. Every time she came back, she had to spend a long time tidying up, but she never delayed Ling Yun's time, just silently tidying up when she was resting.

"Silly girl." Ling Yun suddenly felt a little heartache, of course he knew that she was guilty because of the questioning in the ancient castle, but she was not wrong at all, but Ling Yun did not make it clear to her, and he couldn't help it: "It's Brother Shi who is wrong, Xiaoli forgive me, okay?" ”

"Ahh Brother Shi is right, he is a little raccoon dog. The little fox raised his head, his eyes were full of tears, and he was pitiful, and his little face under the veil was red from crying.

"Good, what are you crying about, it's going to be ugly, my brother will be angry because of it, you know?" Ling Yun took the little fox into his arms and comforted him softly.

After a long time, the little fox raised his head and said, "Brother Shi, I miss grandma." ”

"Then go back and see her."

"Is that okay?"

"Hmm. I'm waiting for you to come back in the Imperial City."

"Brother Shi."

"Huh?"

"Thank you."

"Silly girl."

Alone, Ling Yun came to the [Xuanmu Ya]. I left in a hurry the last time I came, but I haven't seen what this place looks like yet.

[Xuanmu Ya] is an institution directly under the royal family, but the decoration is very low-key, the stone carving of two big swords is the gate, and the others are not much different from the surrounding high-rise buildings.

At this moment, a white-robed man walked by, and the guard at the door did not stop him, but he himself took out a sign and showed it to the guard to prove his identity, which seemed to be a little too boring.

Almost all of them were wearing long pants and tight clothes, but this man was wearing a flowing Chinese-style robe, and when he took out the sign, Ling Yun noticed that his right hand was missing a finger.

This guy is a bit weird.

"Stop! Please show your ID badge! The guard at the door stepped forward to stop Ling Yun.

"No, he's a noble prince, please let him in."

The white-robed man suddenly turned his head, and his two eyes hooked Ling Yun straight as if he had found prey.
