Tang Zhaoxian nodded.

Lu Hanxue suddenly said at this time: "There is another way to save it. This sentence lifted the expressions of Rick and the others, and he hurriedly asked, "What method." ”

"I don't know." Lu Hanxue said, "But I know that there is a potion book that once recorded how to use medicine for people with phantom beast blood. The book may also have written about the treatment. ”

"Where's the potion book?" Rick asked.

Lu Hanxue shook her head again and said, "I don't know, but there are so many pharmacists gathered in Dakai Town, or they can find clues there." ”

The flame of hope that ignited in everyone's hearts was suddenly half annihilated, and it was not easy to find a potion book whose name and origin were not even known, maybe the book would have been lost long ago. However, after all, I hope that I have zài, which is better than having no clue just now. Rick swept away his frustration and said, "In this case, even if we turn Dakai Town over, we will also find the book." ”

In the evening, four carriages carrying Rick and his party of eleven men came outside the city to join the troops of the butcher wheel. People who see the slaughter wheel for the first time must be frightened by his appearance, because he is like impermanence coming out of the Temple of Impermanence, with frowns and white eyes, flat expression, and living like a zombie. He didn't say anything about Rick so late, which was very inconsistent with the legendary personality of him. However, Rick could also see that he was under a certain amount of pressure, because the eyes of the five hundred riders behind him were full of dissatisfaction.

Rick got out of the car and smiled at the butcher wheel who had also dismounted: "I have been waiting for a long time, I really don't want to go." ”

"Your Excellency the Earl is serious." The words of the butcher wheel are like boiled water, and you can't smell anything. "His Majesty orders us to obey the Earl's command. And set off today. It's still early tomorrow, and it's not too late for adults. Although there is no flavor in the words, there is still some sarcasm.

"Oh?! You think so. Rick asked with a smile on his face. In fact, I was secretly surprised in my heart - this slaughtering wheel is not simple. Because, he can not only see the intention of his move, but also be able to suppress his temper at the most critical moment, if this is his true temperament, then there is a need to reevaluate him.

"Yes. Humble office thinks so. ”

"In that case, there is no need to say more, let's go!"

Tu Lun nodded yes, and then ordered his five hundred cavalry commanders to divide into two armies, front and rear, and release the outpost, and open up overnight. The generals commanded. Rick looked at the commander of the butcher wheel, and for some reason, there seemed to be a hot blood in his body that was about to boil out of his chest at any time. There was also a deep longing for this passion, as if he had regained his old dreams.

The town of Dakai is located in the northwest of Bo Inte. It is about two days away from Boyingte and is the first stop for neighboring countries to visit Bointe in the northwest.

Between Bo Yingte and Kai Town. The terrain is changeable. Therefore, the team can't speed up if they want to. From evening to midnight, the whole team hurried as if to recover all the debts owed by Rick's deliberate delay. In just three hours, they hurried twenty miles, and this was because half of the team was infantry, and there were no horses, otherwise the road would have been even more. According to the idea of the slaughtering wheel, the team should continue to move forward and set up camp until the early hours of the morning. However, Rick was very considerate of the soldiers, so he happened to pass by a beautiful small lake, so Tiyì camped by the lake. The butcher wheel did not say anything more, and he seemed willing to faithfully carry out Rick's orders. So, the team set up camp by the small lake. At the same time, Rick announced that he would start again later tomorrow morning, not in the early morning, so let the soldiers have a good rest.

One of the hundred horsemen couldn't help but ask, "My lord, why don't you rush to Dakai with Kuài?" If you delay time like this, it is likely that you will not be able to return to the imperial capital to participate in the Celestial Festival. ”

"Do you like Tenjin's Day?" Rick asked.

"Yes." The hundred-rider hesitated.

"Good, I like it too. I promise you'll be back for Tenjin Festival – and of course, if you don't have any accidents. ”

"Accident?"

"Yes." "I have a feeling that this mission will not be easy. Since His Majesty didn't let us rush to the death, why don't you relax. ”

"Adults can't just trust feelings." The captain of the hundred horsemen is stubborn and authentic.

"And what do you want me to believe?" Rick smiled and asked, "Trust the eyes?" Trust the ear? Or trust your own judgment? Or believe you? ”

The captain of the hundred horsemen was slightly stunned. Rick asked again in due course, "What's your name?" ”

"Dirk. My lord. The captain of the hundred horsemen puffed up his chest and said loudly. It seems that he is quite proud of his name.

"You and your soldiers are at my disposal at all times. Rest assured! I'll let you go back for Tenjin's Day. Rick dropped the sentence and left the tent. Leave Dirk alone and standing still, not knowing what to do. Because Rick's words were dangerous and confident had confused his mind.

Rick's tent was supposed to be in the center of the camp, but he chose the edge of the camp closest to the lake, and specially chose to lean back against a big tree, so he chose the location of the camp, and the butcher wheel shook his head secretly. However, he apparently did not intend to point out the mistake of the Earl. On the one hand, he knew that the nobles hated it most than anything to be exposed to him, and to point out to his face that he was full of mistakes—that he had learned it after something that had caused him great pain; On the other hand, there are a thousand regular soldiers in the entire team, and this place is close to the imperial capital, even if there are rogue thieves, they don't dare to rush here to fight their ideas, not to mention that there are no rogue thieves on the way to Kai in the imperial capital. Despite this, he instructed his guards to make their patrols as wide as possible for safety.

This time, Rick left the imperial capital and took the little lazy worm and the blood phoenix with him. --The Blood Phoenix likes freedom, and Rick doesn't want to keep him locked in the Duke's Palace; The little slacker has become an indispensable helper for Rick. Ever since learning Alva's arc technique, Rick has been deliberately practicing his freehand skills, and using the blue crystal glove transformed by the little lazy worm will more than double the attack power of his bare hands. This is one of the reasons why Rick took the little sloth with him, and the other reason is that the little sloth can barely leave him now, and has been transfiguring into an aquamarine glove attached to his hand for a long time. Obviously, he was about to enter adulthood, which is why he was so desperate for Rick's energy. However, what makes Rick feel strange is that the process of the little lazy worm from the growth stage to the adult stage is surprisingly long, and after this situation occurs, ordinary phantom beasts will enter the adult stage in a short period of time, and during this time, the body will quickly show the characteristics of adulthood. But the little lazy insect didn't, although its size was a little taller than before, it was far from reaching the level of adulthood, and it was even smaller than the same type of phantom beast that had just entered the growth period, which was obviously very abnormal. It was like waiting for something, always hovering at the door of adulthood, or rather, since absorbing the energy of the 10,000-year-old magic crystal, it was destined to be different from ordinary phantom beasts, so that the road to growth was unexpectedly long. Whether this will be a blessing or a curse for Rick is still unpredictable.

At night, the little lazy worm reverts and leaves Rick's body, but it begins to become unusually lethargic. As soon as he retreated from the Aquamarine Glove to the monkey form, he yawned heavily, then curled up in Rick's arms and fell asleep. Rick gave it to Su Qiong, who had been standing by his side, and asked her to take care of the little lazy worm. And he stole a moment out of the tent to enjoy the view of the lake at night.

As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he heard Ao Ling'er's laughter coming from the lake. Walking over and looking, it turned out that she was bathing the "black ball" - of course, it was forced. "Poor black ball." Rick sighed to himself. The man and the beast who fall into the hands of this little witch usually have two ends - either they are loved to death or they are played to death. Probably, the black ball can't escape this fate. Rick threw a sympathetic glance at the black ball, then quietly walked along the shore of the lake to the other side—where Xu Zhen was really sitting alone on a small dirt slope, looking into the distance.

Rick sat down beside her, and followed her gaze, and the distant night sky was nothing but twinkling stars. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?" ”

Xu Zhenzhen seemed to wake up in shock, and when he saw that it was Rick who was asking, he smiled slightly and said, "I'm looking at the stars." ”

"What's so nice about the stars?"

"It's because I usually don't think it's nice to see that I want to take a closer look."

Rick nodded, then said hesitantly, "I've always had a question for you, but I didn't think it was necessary. ”

"Childe wants to ask me where I came from." Xu Zhenzhen predicted the question in Rick's mind in an affirmative tone.

Rick laughed, "Yes, but I don't want to ask now." ”

"Why?"

"Because you even cherish things that others don't usually cherish, your heart must be very kind."

Xu Zhenzhen smiled, but her laughter was very strange, close to contempt, not contempt, but similar to mockery—mockery of herself. She said: "There are often two kinds of people who cherish things that others don't cherish, do you want to know which two kinds of people are childe?" ”

Rick's eyes flickered, and he said, "I'd love to know." ”

"One is the person who is extremely cruel, because he never cherishes what others cherish, but he often cherishes what others do not cherish, because he feels that this does not show his kindness; The other is a very kind person, this kind of person is often delicate and sentimental, so they will pay attention to what others ignore - why doesn't Childe ask, what kind of person am I?
