The embers were clearly extinguished, and a little spark could be seen in the subtleties. The invisible sword aura blew like the wind, striking the leaves rustling.

Katie didn't have time to think, so she had to condense three layers of magic shields in front of her to protect everyone behind her.

I saw that the magic shield was shattered layer by layer, and the lilac shield fragments were scattered in all directions. The black-robed man raised his sword on the trunk and laughed: "Hahaha, today this 'scorching sun verdict' will judge your sins!" ”

Katie gritted her teeth to maintain the output of her magic power, but she didn't want the magic shield to have shattered; The sword qi swept like the wind, and it was about to sweep towards everyone. But at this critical moment, a knife flew quickly and stuck in the center of the field. I only heard a crisp and loud sword sound, and the invisible sword qi was actually blocked.

A figure landed beside the sword, and he pulled out the knife from the ground, shook the earth, and returned the knife to its sheath. The man was unusually tall, with horns on his head and a demonic face; He stared at the black-robed man and asked Katie and the others, "Are you okay?" ”

Katie sat on the ground panting and replied, "It's all right! Casillas, be careful, this man is strong! ”

"Who is he?" Casillas asked, pulling out his unsheathed knife again.

"A madman, a real madman!" Pai said fiercely.

When the black-robed man saw that Casillas had ruined his good deeds, he was not angry, but laughed maniacally: "Yo, where is Casillas......

Casillas squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, "That's not going to get out of here!" ”

"I just want to say......" the black-robed man's body exuded a strong magical power, "I have to show my strength!" ”

Katie pulled Nivu and Pai away from the battlefield, and when she came to Ivan's side, she said worriedly, "I hope Casillas can defeat him." ”

"Master Casillas will be able to defeat him!" Pai pouted.

Katie sensed that the black-robed man exuded magic that was not inferior to Casillas, and her heart sweated.

But seeing that the magic emitted by the black-robed man was violently retracted, some faint phantoms appeared outside his body. This phantom is a little weird, like the tail of an octopus. These red octopus tails emerged from the back of the black-robed man, and some of them were not real.

When Casillas saw the octopus, he closed his eyes and perceived it; He suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Lotus? Rotes! He looked at it again and said as if uncertain, "Huh? Wrong...... You just gained the power of Rotus? ”

"Who knows?" The black-robed man jumped down with an octopus tail and pounced straight at him. Casillas shook his knife and met him.

It's a fight:

Although the sword is different from the sword, the sword intersects with different people.

A scorching sun with a red sword and a black robe, and a demon with a face called an apostle.

The scorching light is the head shot, and the sword qi is hazy. When two real opponents meet, the number of solutions is endless. This sword is drawn and slashed, thousands of fierce, and the void tail is as fast as the wind; The falling moon slash, the shadow is like a rainbow, how can it be compatible to cut and block.

The dust is swirling, and the magic sword qi is clustered. The flames and red flames covered the old wood, and the bloody fighting spirit shot into the sky.

Casillas fought with the black-robed man for more than a hundred times, but they couldn't help each other. Casillas was angry, but he was afraid that his moves would be too domineering and ruin Central Park; He fought and walked, leading the black-robed man out of Central Park.

The black-robed man was in high spirits, and he and Casillas fought for dozens of rounds in the desert outside Central Park.

Sand and dust are flying all over the sky, blood is fluttering, swords and swords are shadows, and magic is swaying. The two of them fought farther and farther away, and after a short time they were gone.

Katie and the others rushed out, leaving only ruined forests and sand full of holes as far as the eye could see.

A few days later......

The cold moon shone on the grass and trees in the forest, which looked a little desolate. Ivan and his team sat by the fire, eating in silence. But when she saw Katie coming, she smiled and said, "The forest has been restored, thank you for your help!" ”

Ivan hung his head and just let out a nonchalant 'um'. Seeing this, Tillan smiled embarrassedly at Katie and explained: "The captain's equipment was damaged in that battle, he is in a bad mood, please forgive me." ”

Katie nodded and said, "If there's anything you need help with, feel free to come to me!" ”

"Okay, thank you!" Tillan said politely.

But when they saw Neum, Pai, and Bibi coming, they all expressed their gratitude. The crowd sat around and talked in a dull voice.

The moonlight is the same, the shadows of the trees are still the same, but the mood has changed.

While the crowd was talking, they saw Mork leading an orc back. The orc was a fox, about half a man's height; It wears a small jacket, and its golden fur is shaggy, and it is very cute.

As soon as Mock came, he shouted, "Captain, Captain, it's not good, it's not good......"

"What's wrong?" Ivan replied in annoyance.

The little fox looked at Ivan wearing only his usual clothes, and asked, "Where's your equipment?" Ivan. ”

Ivan kept his mouth shut, but Tillan patiently explained it to the little fox. The little fox grinned and said, "What's this, Ivan, give me the pieces of your equipment." The Alliance is experimenting with attaching Luke's legacy energy to your equipment, maybe you can repair your equipment, and maybe even get stronger! ”

When Ivan heard this, his eyes lit up; He jerked the little fox in his arms and cried out, "Bourne, what you said is true? You didn't lie to me, did you? ”

Byrne was a little out of breath by Ivan, and hurriedly said: "I didn't lie to you, I didn't lie to you!" ”

Ivan put Byrne down with a smile, pinched its face, and shouted to Tillan, "Quick, give it the shards!" Finally, he pinched Bourne's nose excitedly.

Katie and the others were also full of joy, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, adventurer, maybe you will be blessed by misfortune." ”

"Eh, eh, nothing." Ivan was in a good mood and returned to his old self. After he was excited, he remembered Mock's words and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Mock frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Something is wrong......

"Speak quickly!"

"There's a rebellion on the Celestial Side, and the people of the Joint Investigation Team have all gone back."

"Rebellion? Who is it? Yun Ye asked urgently.

"I don't know, I can't get over there in Silent City. The leader of the Violent Raiders, Azero, is dead, and I hear that he was killed by the radicals of their group. ”

Tillan covered his mouth and exclaimed: "How could it be ......"

"After Azerora's death, the violent search and capture team was in chaos. In the name of the 'Sword God' Sodros, many people began to hunt down people close to Azeroth, hey...... Because of their fighting, the Terraway Center is now in chaos, and even our Adventurer Alliance has been involved. ”

Mock took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and continued, "There are even more terrifying ones! Hey, when we came out of the Silent City, we didn't notice anyone else's movements. I heard, I heard that Barn had absorbed Luke's power, and even Master Xilan's apprentice was missing! ”

"Barn?" Ivan was a little puzzled, "How could he?" ”

"I don't know. Listening to the people in the group, and some people in the violent search and arrest group saying this, it should be credible. ”

Ivan looked up at Bourne. Bourne came to his senses and explained, "That's right! ”

Mork sighed again and continued, "After Luke's death, Giselle stole Luke's 'Light and Dark Core'! ”

"When? We saw Luke die with our own eyes! No one can steal at all! Ivan was shocked.

"I don't know what method Giselle used. It should be the moment we leave the 'Throne of the Machines'! Mock analyzed.

When Bourne heard this, he said, "The people in the group also analyzed it this way. ”

"What about the Giselles?"

"It's gone!"

The morning light dispelled the boredom in people's hearts and shone on the flowers in the forest. The bird flies in, picks up a flower, opens its mouth and swallows it, which seems to be a rare delicacy in this world.

Byrne left early in the morning with the fragments of Ivan's equipment, saying that it would take two days to get them ready.

Ivan had just gotten up when he saw Bibi running over in a hurry. Ivan couldn't help laughing and said, "Bibi, why do you still like to jump around so much!" ”

The chestnut-colored hair smelled of grass in the sun, and the flowers around her seemed to lose their color in front of Bibi. But I heard her snort: "I was originally here to tell you that the other child you saved before just woke up." I didn't expect you to say that about me...... Hum! ”

Ivan scratched his head and smiled sheepishly; He beckoned to Ari and the rest of the group, and followed Bibi to the treehouse on the other side of the stream.

There were four people standing in the treehouse, Katie, Niwu, Pai, and a woman in a red cloak. The woman was tall and tall, with long blond hair, delicate eyebrows, big boots, and a hood casually worn over her shoulders.

And on the floor sat the brown-haired slave boy, who was a little frightened when he saw that there were many people in the room.

Katie saw Ivan and the others come in and beckoned them to sit down. But I heard the slave boy say resignedly: "That, hello...... Thank you, thank you. ”

Katie gently asked the slave boy, "Do you feel uncomfortable?" ”

"Nope." The slave boy licked his mouth embarrassedly, "The witch gave me a night of soup just now, and now I'm not hungry!" ”

When Pai heard this, he pouted and whispered, "It should be hard to eat!" ”

"That's because there's medicine in it!" The red-cloaked woman listened to Pai's words and argued.

"Red Witch, please don't be like Pai!" Katie said apologetically to the red-cloaked woman.

And the red witch just clasped her hands to her chest and snorted softly, her beautiful face and big eyes sparkling, like autumn water.

Katie crouched down, looked softly at the slave boy, and said, "Are you from Harlem?" ”

The slave boy's eyes dodged, and he didn't know how to answer.

Bibi Waner smiled and said softly: "It's okay, you can rest assured to say it, isn't the adventurer who saved you also here." Don't be afraid, don't hide anything! ”

The slave boy was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Yes, I am from Harlem. My friends and I were originally slaves cleaning up the royal entertainment......" His eyes wandered, and he inadvertently saw Ari; He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't break it, but continued: "But then I was afraid of being killed, and I thought I would die there, so we escaped. ”

Ah Rui didn't know this slave boy, so he didn't care at all when he saw this slave boy, thinking that he was just an ordinary slave. But when I heard this slave boy say that he was a slave of royal entertainment, I couldn't help but feel my heart skip a beat, afraid that this young man would see him and tell his bottom line.

Everyone didn't pay attention, and the slave boy was stunned. Ari also said that the boy had never seen him.

Then he heard that the nun asked, "Didn't you hear that you don't kill those who become slaves?" ”

"Hmph, the people in Harlem kill everything, including their clans. Hey, can we just sit idly by? Pai lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Niwu sat on the ground and sighed, "If that's the case, I want to stop them too." But if Sister Katie and I had come forward, it would have been too big. Now the Cultivators are living relatively quietly in Harlem, and if we don't handle it properly, there is a good chance that there will be a big fight. ”

The people in the room were silent, not knowing what to do.

With a flick of her fingers, the Red Witch summoned a flock of butterflies; She looked at the butterflies flying between her fingers and said, "This is really a problem." Maybe there's a better chance of waiting! If you act hastily, you are likely to get into trouble. ”

Pai turned his head to look at Ivan and the others, and pretended to be shocked and said, "When you fought against those apostles who destroyed Arad, you were willing to help. Now that the Cultivator Sect is torturing the entire Demon Realm, are you going to let it go? That's weird, isn't it? ”

Ivan couldn't help but say, "The entire Demon Realm? It's an exaggeration! ”

"Humph......"

Ni Wu also sighed: "Hey, there are too many people in the Cultivator Sect, and there are also many hostages. We, we can't do it lightly. ”

"But you can't wait like this forever, can you?" Pai thought and said.

"You're not planning to do anything, are you?" As soon as Niwu heard what Pai had said, she felt that something was wrong.

I saw Pai sit up straight, and said with a serious face, "If it's inconvenient for my sisters to do it, I'll go again." I've already been there once anyway, and I won't be scared again this time. ”

Pai said, bowing his head and weeping. She wiped her tears and said with tears in her voice: "I, I see those who live in misery, and those who are hunted by the Cultivators...... I probably knew this before, but I really couldn't understand it when I saw it, and I didn't want to go on like this. ”

"Ah......" Bibi exclaimed, "Doesn't Sister Pai know how to fight?" ”

The air of silence spread again. Ivan wanted to go but didn't want to go, hesitating and not knowing what to do.

Katie thought for a long time, but then said, "Pai is right. We can't just sit back and wait for the cultivators to change their ways. She stroked her hair and said, "Well, Py, you're going to investigate the meteor that fell from the sky." You're an elemental, so they shouldn't suspect you much. ”

Bibi said with a worried face: "I've seen it by those people from the Cultivator Sect, will it be okay?" ”

"Normally, the cultivators will not avenge their comrades." "As long as you don't make too much of it, you should be able to get by." But, Pai, it's too dangerous to do so. She took Pai's hand, uneasy.

Ivan and the others quietly discussed for a while, but still said, "Let's go together too!" ”

When Niwu heard this, he was very grateful, and said happily: "Adventurer, will you go with you?" Thank you, thank you, but ......"

Pai interrupted Niwu's words and said decisively, "Sister, it's okay. If I feel scared, I'll come back. If anything, as long as I get outside of Harlem, my sisters will help me. And there are adventurers out there! ”

"Well, we're born to work hard...... "Mock sighed as he looked up.

Niwu shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Pai, hey, you're so stubborn. ”

The group discussed some details in the treehouse, and only waited for Ivan to repair his equipment before setting off.

The sun is shining, the heat wave is rolling, and it is noon in a blink of an eye. As the group parted in front of the treehouse, Katie once again admonished Ivan, "Adventurer, Harlem is very different from here. You might just be the most special place you've ever visited during your adventure. ”

"Hmm......" Ivan listened patiently.

"Although this may add another burden to you, since you have come all the way from Arad, I think you should know in advance about the matter of Harlem during your time in the Demon Realm."

"Hmm."

Katie prayed, "Please don't get lost in Harlem as always, I think you'll be able to do it!" She turned to Pai and said, "Pai, you have to help the adventurer too." You know that the Nums and the Monks signed a peace agreement under my arbitration! We can't easily go to Harlem to help you. ”

"Well, I see, sister." Pai nodded.

"I, I want to go with me too, can I?" But when he saw the slave boy walk out of the tree house, he hesitated, but said firmly.

Seeing this, Pai couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "I finally escaped, why did I go back?" ”

"But aren't you going to fight the Cultivators? You're going to teach the cultivators a lesson, right? The slave boy rubbed his hands, and the slave mark on his arm was a little glaring, "I'll help lead the way!" If I stood on the side of outsiders, they would think I was a slave from outside. ”

Pai didn't know what to do, so he had to look at Ivan pitifully. Ivan nodded and said, "Okay, you can." It's not bad to have one more person to lead the way! ”

Pai looked a little happy and cried out cheerfully, "Yes, adventurer! Well, I think I can, thank you, adventurer! Then she asked the slave boy, "What is your name?" ”

The slave boy bowed his head and replied, "I, I don't have a name." ”

"Hmm......" Pai thought for a moment, pouting, "Why don't I give you a name!" ”

"Huh?" The slave boy was stunned.

Pai thought for a long time and hesitated, "How about being called 'Cobb'?" If you think it's okay, just call it that for now, okay? ”

The slave boy didn't want anyone to name him, so he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, and quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I like this name very much!" ”

"That'...... Cobb, take care of me in the future. Pai pursed his lips and smiled.

Cobb looked at Pai's appearance at this time, and couldn't help but blush, and said embarrassedly and quietly, "Okay! ”

Pai was also very happy, but muttered to the side, "Looks happy, do you really like the name?" I would have known that I would have given him a better name. ”

The birds could not stand the hot air and flew to the shade of the trees and hid. There was no cool breeze in the forest, but the dappled sunlight shone on the face of the young man and girl.
