Chapter 14: The Cat and the Mouse

There were no clouds in the sky.

Thousands of miles clear.

"——!"

A beautiful phoenix chirp was transmitted far away.

In the distant sky, as if in response to the phoenix chirping just now, a more majestic phoenix chirped leisurely.

"——!"

Kazama and the others looked at the sky, because of Fayara's landing just now, a large number of trees around them had fallen, so they could clearly see the boundary between the boundless forest and the sky. There, a faint black dot was faintly visible, gradually approaching.

Nana stared blankly at the sky, with a hint of timidity and joy in her eyes.

The black dots in the sky, getting bigger and bigger, gradually outlined a blurry black silhouette, flapping huge wings, slowly approaching.

Fayala had risen into the air, constantly hovering in the sky, as if waiting for something to come.

The black silhouette expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge phoenix similar to Fayara's appearance, but unlike Fayala's turquoise blue, most of its feathers were flame-like red.

"Fire Phoenix?" Kazama was a little distracted and muttered.

"Well, that's Gu Lincolnby, and like Fayala, they are all phoenixes born on the World Tree." Nana said softly, but didn't turn around, her eyes flashing with a complicated look kept staring at the crimson figure in the sky, "Although, now only the two of them are left......"

"Shhh

"Phoenix, born from the root - the ancient race of the World Tree, SS-rank demonic beasts, is a remnant of the god-making era, once participated in the war of the gods, and used all the power of the clan to seriously injure a god and eventually lead to its fall, but the entire race also declined because of this, and almost extinct ......"

Kazama Hiroha unconsciously whispered, and the shock in his heart grew bigger and bigger...... Although the two-headed flying dragon he saw when he was first summoned also shocked him, after all, it was just an ordinary fantasy species, and according to the classification on this ancient book, it was probably a B-rank demonic beast. And the phoenix is far from being comparable to these fantasy species, and is almost close to the real SSS-level demonic beasts of the Western Dragon Clan and the Eastern Dragon Clan. And these pure-blooded dragons, according to the records in the books, are truly able to kill gods in the face of numerical superiority. It can be seen from this that the so-called phoenix is such a terrifying existence in this world where there are no gods! But why, there are two demonic beasts of this level as soon as they come out today? And one of them became a little girl's Pokemon?! Could it be that the protagonist of this book was unknowingly changed to this little girl by the bastard who was coding words? So what am I here for? I don't know how to play soy sauce......

Just as Kazama was thinking wildly, a miserable wail pulled him back to reality.

"Ahh

Kazama closed the book and looked up in surprise, only to see a green figure, which suddenly flew out from the fire phoenix that had reached the top of Kazama and the others, and then fell straight down. Faintly, the outer ring of the figure is also covered with a translucent film.

The sudden change made Kazama Yangyu stunned, if it was the same as before, maybe Kazama Yangyu would try to save the beauty of the hero (ugly?). A little. But since he was smashed by Hull last time and fainted directly, he no longer has the heroic courage to jump off the building with his bare hands. Besides, his arm was scratched by the ice and fire just now, and he couldn't pick up anyone at all, so he rushed over and was just stoned to death when he was on his back......

When Her and Nana saw the figure falling, they quickly reacted in the same way without thinking - covering their faces.

And so, like that, the green figure fell swiftly, with a piercing whistling.

"Boom!"

Dust was flying, along with a piece of toppled trees.

……

Then, before Kazama had time to go over to see if the fallen man was still intact enough to be taken back for burial, there was a piercing whistling sound in his ears.

Again, a figure.

He'er and Nana, who had just opened their eyes, hurriedly covered their faces again.

"Boom!"

Again, dusty and toppled trees.

The dust slowly fell.

Then, slowly, a young elf in golden elf armor walked out.

The elves didn't go straight to where Kazama was and they were, but turned and walked towards the spot where the first figure fell, where there was a pool of green figures who didn't know if it was a corpse or a dead corpse.

Walk over, pick it up, and come to the front.

"Well, fortunately, with the protection of nature, it seems to be alive." The young elf in the golden armor nodded with satisfaction, "But what are you spitting all this on?" ”

Frowning, the golden armor elf turned his head away from the green figure in his hand in disgust, and then, under the stunned gaze of Kazama and the other three, he threw the green figure back to its original place.

Feel free, just like when he picked them up.

“……”

“……”

“……”

"Yo, Guardian, so you're here too?" The young elf in gold armor suddenly turned around and walked towards the three of Kazama, waved his hand casually, and said hello to Kazama, and then his gaze, which suddenly became serious, fell on Nana on the side, and it was not instantaneous.

Belch...... Guys I don't know......

Although I don't know it, I still have to have basic etiquette.

Kazama grinned and pulled out a smile in embarrassment, only to find that Nana on the side had quickly hid behind her.

The golden-armored elves soon arrived in front of everyone, and the wind was blowing behind them - it was two phoenixes preparing to land.

But as if he didn't feel it, he stopped all the way to Kazama Hiroha, and then looked behind him slightly around the latter, revealing a kind smile that gave goosebumps to him.

"Nana!"

Nana, who was startled by the smiling face that suddenly came over, raised her head suddenly, and then quickly lowered her eyelids, her body moved slightly, and continued to use Kazama Hiroha as a barrier to block the golden armor elf.

"Uh...... Ahem" The golden armor elf paused, coughing a little awkwardly, then bypassed Kazama and poked his head in front of Nana, continuing to show that kind smile that made people goosebumps.

"Nana!"

Dodge.

"Nana!"

Dodge.

"Nana!"

Dodge.

……

……

Kazama is helpless now, because he is caught between a cat and a mouse, one chasing, the other running, like a never-ending cycle. His intuition told him that the golden armor elf had no malicious intent, and he and Nana had known each other for a long time, but for some reason Nana was making trouble. But...... Why is it obviously a game of two people, but you drag yourself as a backstop? No, it should be said that it was used as a shield.

Now how he longed for someone to save him, but Hull didn't seem to mean it that way.

Just as Kazama was about to collapse, two beautiful phoenix chirps came from overhead.

"——!"

"——!"

The two guys next to him finally stopped.

Everyone raised their heads and watched as Ancient Lincolnby and Fayara flapped their huge wings and fell gently, and in an instant, a large number of trees were toppled down.

Kazama squinted his eyes to prevent dust from flying into his eyes, and his heart suddenly became worried about the small animals in the woods, if these two calamities came a few more times, it was estimated that it was only a matter of time before the entire dense forest was destroyed. No wonder the ancients said that the phoenix has spirituality, non-sycamore does not inhabit, it seems that they are still quite smart, the sycamore grows fast, crushed after a few years will grow well, from the perspective of environmental protection, it is the best choice.

"Lord Yumai, you're bullying Nana again." Strange, but helpless voice.

Familiar, timbre.

"Qianqian?" Kazama raised his head, and at a glance he saw a water-green figure not far away.

"Lord Guardian!" With silver hair flying, the girl ran over happily and grabbed Kazama's arm, "It's good that you're okay." ”

The lilac eyes shone with a faint light.

"Hehe, I also think it's really good that I'm okay......" in all senses.

"Your Highness Qianqian!"

Before Kazama Yangyu could take advantage of the situation to hold Qianqian's soft little hand, he was squeezed aside by Nana who flew up from behind, and then watched Nana bury her face in Qianqian's chest and rub it vigorously.

"Nana ......" Qianqian gently hugged Nana, who was like a small animal, and stroked her little head with a doting face.

"Nana ......"

The golden-armored elf known as "Night Dance" also learned from Qianqian's appearance and wanted to reach out and touch Nana's head, but Nana suddenly raised her head from between Qianqian's chest, and got behind Qianqian with a smoke.

"Uh......"

"Nana, he's ......" Kazama Yangyu couldn't help but be curious, even Nana, a stupid person who was so friendly in the face of ice and fire, would feel very disgusted with this person, so how heinous this person is.

"I am ......"

"I don't know!" Nana pouted and hurriedly replied, "I don't know this person!" Nana only knows Her Royal Highness Qianqian, she said that when you are in danger, as long as you desperately shout for help, someone will come to save me if you break your throat, and then you guys are here, hehe. ”

“……”

Embarrassment, spreading like a virus.

"Well, how could the Guardian be here?" As if to alleviate this embarrassing atmosphere, Qianqian patted Nana's little hand that was clutching her sleeve, turned to Kazama and asked, and then glanced at He'er who was wearing Kazama Yangyu's silver robe, and a strange light flashed in her eyes, "Also, this is ......"

Belch...... Don't recognize? Kazama glanced at Qianqian, and then at He'er, a little messy.

I always thought that He'er and Qianqian were sisters, but I didn't expect that if I didn't talk about sisters, I couldn't even talk about knowing each other, so it stands to reason that even if Qianqian didn't know a tsundere poisonous tongue girl, He'er, as an elf, should also know Her Royal Highness the quiet and dignified princess. Something's wrong...... Hey, don't worry about that for now.

"Well, that's a long story......

So Kazama Yangyu ran all the way out to meet He'er after he was swallowed by the summoned beast, and said it again and again after saving Nana, of course, in the process, he inevitably covered up his charming fantasy about He'er and rendered his heroism when he was alone in the ice and fire, and heard He'er shouting shamelessly and Nana was moved.

"Oh, the young man did a good job, he deserves to be the guardian of our elven race!" After listening to the story, Yumai suddenly cheered up from the depression just now, and patted Kazama Yangha's shoulder excitedly, which hurt the latter and grinned because of the wound involved.

"Well, fortunately, Lord Guardian, you're all fine, otherwise ......" Qianqian looked at Kazama and the others with some guilt.

"Ah, it's alright, but why are you here?"

"After the Guardian was taken away by the Guardian, something happened in the clan." In Qianqian's mind, the huge rock head appeared again, "After that, I, the captain of the guard, Xi Wu, and the divine priest Dawn over there rode out on the ancient Lincoln to find the guardian." Qianqian turned her head and forgot to glance at the green figure lying on the ground in the distance, "But Alheim is too big, and it is almost covered by lush forests, and the Guardian cannot be found for a while. can only rely on the only trace of induction because of the summoning relationship to judge the general direction. ”

Kazama nodded knowingly, "But how did you find it later?" ”

"Later, it was actually because Gulinkenby suddenly sensed Fayara." Ximai suddenly took over the conversation and explained, "And then, as you can see, I found Nana and found you by the way." ”

Kazama pulled the corners of his mouth. Uh, by the way...... It's really ...... Hawkers, although it is true that what is said, why is there a subtle unwillingness?

"Your Royal Highness Princess, since the Guardian has been found, let's go back quickly, so as not to worry the king." Xiwu turned around, bowed slightly to Qianqian, and bowed.

"Well, yes, the Guardian should have gone to the Garden of Eden sooner." Qianqian nodded, then turned her head to look at Nana, "This time, Nana will also go with us obediently." ”
