Chapter 28: Two Different Reunions
"Elf, Nordion, his decision to go with you to the Windtalker's Forest was a wise decision."
According to the Covenant Master's instructions, Shadow and Bai Siling, who entered the Seven Gods Arch to find the whereabouts of the priest Lilith, chose a quieter street. At this point, they coincided, and neither of them liked the noisy scene very much.
However, with this choice, neither of them thought that the missing little girl would be found by them. But the owner of the deed said that the purpose of the search was to separate them, and as for the burden of searching for people, it would still be incumbent on the black dog, as for them, as long as they returned to the dock before the assembly.
'Why?' Bai Siling asked on the paper. Nowadays, there are more exchanges between the two daughters who are both deedmen.
"I can't tell you yet, but you'll find out then. Don't worry, I won't have to wait long. The silver-haired woman habitually brushed her hair and replied. After speaking, she seemed to remember something to be happy about, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.
Bai Siling on the other side looked at the chuckling face and was stunned, the feeling as if the two of them made her even think that she had a delusion, and indeed when the silver-haired woman was alone with her, the other party seemed to have more words. She couldn't help but raise her hand and write on the paper: 'You really look good when you smile, but why do you always look so cold in front of your master?' ’
"That's who I am," said the two men, as they walked slowly forward as they watched the blue waters flow down the alleys into the city, "and I said he was important to me, and that's why he changed me." But now, since he doesn't remember anything, I can only face him with my original appearance. ”
But if you were like this, the master wouldn't call you anything...... Facial paralysis. The elven girl thought for a moment, and finally wrote.
"He can call me whatever he likes, and as far back as I can remember, the names he used to call me weren't much better." But Ying didn't care about this, she reached out and took the paper in the elf's hand: "This book has been soaked like this by the sea, why do you still keep it?" I remember, didn't he leave most of the gold coins to you for safekeeping? Let's go buy another copy. ”
Hearing this, Bai Siling took the book back and cherished it in his arms. When she met the sea dog, the paper was indeed very damp, but for her, what was on the paper was not only the words written with charcoal, but also the memories of her and the owner.
"I didn't say I was going to throw it away, you can keep it. It's just that you need a new book to 'speak'. Otherwise, I really can't hear clearly. The silver-haired woman said in a tactful manner.
For this suggestion, Bai Siling finally accepted it happily and nodded obediently. She looked at it, trying to find her way with her own eyes. However, the silver-haired woman on the side had already taken her hand.
"Here, please, elf. If we want to go back before dark, let's give up the idea of finding our way on our own. With that, Shadow jumped onto a light boat in the water with Bosling. The boat, which was parked on the side of the road, was always waiting for the customer to come to the door, so the boatman did not feel abrupt about this, but only opened his mouth to ask the two of them where they were going.
The shadow is to inform them of the things they need to buy for this trip, which is also straightforward. The boat was soon rowed under the control of the gondolier, and entered the alleys of the harbor city interspersed with melody.
Although the sunlight at this time was slightly scorching, the two women who did not have parasols did not feel the heat when they looked at the sparkling water. What's more, as long as you reach out a little, you can touch the cool water. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or if the sea water is treated or filtered when it enters the city, it looks much more thorough than it does at sea.
The gondolier rowed at a proper pace, neither fast nor slow, so as not to make the two delicate guests in front of him anxious or miss every sight in their path. At the intersection of a water alley, the light boat in which the two women were riding stopped in order to avoid colliding with another boat passing sideways.
Soon, the boat passing sideways passed by, and their light boat was running again. It was only at this time that the two women came out of their appreciation of the view. Ying subconsciously turned her head to look at the boat that passed just now, and for a moment her eyes were certain, and she turned back to the boatman and said, "Quick, catch up with the boat that passed just now!" Catch up, and there's another bounty! ”
"But......" The boatman was just a little embarrassed, but he saw that the blonde girl had already handed over a gold coin. already had a good impression of these two beautiful guests, and now that he has "both wealth and sex", he has no reason to refuse. Risking a collision with other boats, the boatman changed his course and accelerated the boat to a "safe speed" and tried to pursue the boat.
Needless to say, on the boat that crossed shoulders with the two women, it was naturally the priest with a pink ponytail on his stomach. She sulked as if she were constantly plucking the water with her hands.
However, when Shadow and Bossling make the boatman turn around, she also seems to notice the presence of her pursuers. She said the same to her boatman, so that even though the ship behind her had accelerated, it could not catch up with her for a moment. Therefore, she smirked at the two girls behind her.
"This guy." The distance was not too far, and Ying could naturally see the other party's provocative expression, and she reached out and habitually wanted to cast a spell. However, after mobilizing the magic power in her body, she remembered that most of her magic power had been blocked by the power of the contract when she signed the contract before. At this time, in addition to the fireball, she can only release ice spikes, if it is the same as before, she can make the sea water in the water alley temporarily freeze with a wave of her hand......
Bai Siling also felt the anxiety of the companion beside her, indeed, although the two of them did not plan to find the little priest at first. But since the other party appeared in front of him at this time, it was difficult to turn a blind eye anymore. However, it is useless to be anxious, at least she can't help now, it's not a battle, and she can't use a bow and arrow...... Wait, maybe not!
The two light boats in front and behind, you chase me through the water alleys, but fortunately these boatmen are skilled enough, so that this chase does not cause any other damage except fright. Gradually, however, the boat in front of him took the upper hand, and the boatman with big shoulders and round waist was obviously much stronger than the middle-sized boatman in the rear.
And just when he thought he was going to get rid of the trailing man and get paid for 10 gold coins, he suddenly felt the wooden oars in his hand stiffen. When I looked back, it was actually an arrow feather, which accurately nailed the wooden oar to the hull of the boat. For a moment, even if he stood up and pulled out the arrow feathers, he didn't dare to do that. With such a precise archery, this time it shoots the oars, who can say exactly where it will shoot next?
"Well done, Bosling." Shadow praised. The range of her magic attack at this time is really limited, otherwise, the shock that her magic can bring is definitely more effective than a single arrow feather.
In short, the boat in front of it gradually came to a standstill after losing power. In the rear, the light boat on which the two women were riding chased after them little by little.
On the two boats, Pastor Lori and the silver-haired woman looked at each other across the water again. This time, as if the shadow had the upper hand, she put away her friendly face with Bai Siling and stared at the priest coldly, as if she was questioning the previous provocation.
As the two boats got closer and closer, there were other passenger boats around them. The priest did not hesitate any longer, and jumped onto the approaching boat, and before the passengers and the boatman could question her, she had already jumped onto the next boat. As a priest, her movements are not athletic, but the adventurous life has made her coordinate her hands and feet, and such movements are not difficult for her.
Ying was naturally unwilling to let the little girl slip out of her nose like this, and she no longer hesitated to step out of her legs. The battle mage is not called for nothing, even now after the contract, she is still agile.
As for Bai Siling, she naturally had no choice, although she didn't want to make such a big move, but the matter had come to this point, so she could only continue.
"Hey! The money hasn't been paid yet! The boatman in the rear shouted. Immediately after, several gold coins fell on his boat with a crisp sound.
The three of them chased back and forth, but perhaps because most of the rowers were men, they were not too hindered along the way, and some even stopped and continued to look at the three shadows jumping off the water.
The priest's outstretched hand was no match for the archers and battle mages, and when Lilith looked back, she found that the distance between the three of them had been rapidly shortened. But she didn't want to be taken back so soon, she wasn't wrong, at least not all of her fault......
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she saw a low stone arch bridge in front of her. Although the boat under her feet is still some distance from the stone arch bridge, she Lilith is never a coward! Immediately decided, she jumped into the ......
on the streets
Yu Yi didn't know who those people were chasing and killing Pearl, but those didn't matter, in short, the threat to Pearl was his enemy. However, he should probably be thankful for these guys, because because of their presence, he can finally complete the task that Pearl gave him - "Save me once!" 】。
Before the red-haired masked men could figure out what was going on, a heavy sword fell, forcing them back a few steps. They couldn't say why, but they had a sense of fear in their hearts for the big sword that was not good-looking.
"Hey, swordsman, who are you? Do you dare to take care of the affairs of the Seven Gods Auction House? The leader of the boxer bumped into the heavy steel gloves on his hands and asked. The words were ruthless enough, but his eyes never left the inexplicable and fearsome sword.
"First of all, although I have a sword, I am not a swordsman. No one says that whoever wields a sword must be a swordsman, right? As he spoke, Yu Yi loosened his blood rage, and it fell to the ground, smashing a deep pit on the hard stone-paved street with the weight of the sword alone. Secondly, I don't know what the Seven Gods Auction House is, I just know that whoever touches my friend will suffer. ”
After finishing the cruel words, he turned his head to the masked Pearl next to him and said, "Pearl, are you okay?" I'm here to save you. He still hadn't seen the other person's face yet, but he could almost be 100% sure of the black dog whirling excitedly at her feet.
Perhaps because the bone mask was in the way of speaking, the little girl reached out and took it off, no doubt, it was Pearl. However, there was no joy in her eyes at this time. "Who told you to save me? Bastards, idiots, damn it! Get out! Get out of here with your dirty dog! She threw her head back and shouted, kicking away the black dog wagging its tail next to her.
Except for the bystanders who were already around, even Ollie was dumbfounded. "I'll go, it doesn't seem like the script, right? Isn't it a hero who saves beauty? He muttered to himself.
Yu Yi, who had eaten the turtle, swept around a little embarrassedly, lowered his voice and said: "Pearl, it's useless to pay the bill, an agreement is an agreement." If you have anything else to say, just wait until I knock these guys down. ”
However, the little girl still didn't seem to appreciate it: "Less self-inflicted!" I said, I don't need your pretense! ”
"Pearl, what's wrong with you......" After being scolded like this, Yu Yi had also lost the desire to fight. If it weren't for the Blood Fury Town on the side, a few people in front of him with the signboard of the Seven Gods Auction House might have rushed forward a long time ago.
And just when the scene fell into a stalemate, a hurried shout broke the situation:
"Let it, let it go! The person in front of you gives way! Someone is trying to rob me! ”
This voice made Ou Li, who had been watching the play, raise his head: "Lilith? He followed the voice, and sure enough, he saw a girl squeezed out of the crowd as wet as a chicken in soup. But unfortunately, in her hurry, she bumped into the killers of those auction houses.
"Huh? Another thing that doesn't know whether to live or die? The struck assassin swung his dagger, and was about to transfer the annoyance of being shocked by a sword to the pink-haired girl in front of him, but he felt a chill in his back. As someone who has been dealing with death for a long time, he naturally understands what that feeling means.
At some point, two daggers were placed around his neck. What a familiar move, only this time he played a role that he had never tried before. In my ears, a low voice sounded:
"Hey...... What did you want to do just now? ”
"I ...... I ......"
Before he could answer, the Assassin could hardly speak. The wound is very small, and the technique is skillful, so that the blood at the wound does not spray out all at once. It wasn't until the corpses fell to the ground that they slowly trickled out.
"Yi ...... Aesop. Lilith, who had just been frightened by the fierce light in the assassin's eyes, stammered for a moment before she could recover for a moment.
"Lilith, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you." Ou Li showed a smile and sincerely apologized.
So the little priest couldn't hold back any longer, threw himself on the other party and cried: "Wow...... I thought I wouldn't even see you anymore......"
"Boom!"
There was a crunch.
It was Blood Fury, which blocked the Boxer's sneak attack on the master and servant. "Hey, see? We haven't settled our accounts yet. Yu Yi shook his sword and said.
"Are you really going to declare war on the Seven Gods Auction House, uh no, on the Seven Arches?" The boxer took two steps back and pulled the door open.
"What do you think?" The eight arc hooks on the blood rage had already appeared dark red at this time, "Don't embarrass yourself before you die, come on!" Try this sword! ”
Bloodfury slammed into the air, but suddenly stopped in midair......
"Pearl, what are you doing?"
The little red-haired girl standing in front of the boxer ignored him, dropped the giant scythe in her hand on the ground, and walked towards the boxer: "I'll go with you." ”
