578. Night
"You...... Why are you here? Yes! No, I mean, you look a little different......" The girl stared at Joyna with a strange expression.
"Heh, I'm different, right? You knew I wasn't an ordinary person, but I still have to thank you for your guidance. Joyna smiled and said, these words are not false at all,
Joyna's body changes were obvious, and the other party was surprised when he saw it, but it was normal.
"But your appearance has changed a bit." Joyna looked at the Elder's long, silver-gray hair.
The Elder's smooth face shone a faint pink, "Uh, yes, I've been through something, and that's one of the reasons I'm here. ”
"Oh, what a surprise! Anyway, I didn't expect to see you here again! Joyna said with a smile on her face.
"yes, I didn't expect us to meet again." The elder's slender arm swept through the air, the four fingers in his palm were spread out, and his little finger was attached to his palm, and he bowed.
Her demeanor was still so graceful and noble, like a royal lady who had been trained in the way of etiquette.
"By the way, what's that...... Are you okay? I've picked a lot of spirit grass too, right? Uh-"
The elder suddenly realized something, stopped talking, and the curved willow eyebrows jumped slightly, and the final tone suddenly became a little unnatural.
Although she tried her best to suppress her emotions and not show them, she was still captured by Joyna's extraordinary ability to observe words and colors.
Her expression froze, and she thought in her heart that the elder had obviously heard a lot about Xiao Wu from Li Qing.
"It doesn't matter. To be honest, if it weren't for your guidance, we wouldn't have been able to harvest the spirit grass, and I wouldn't be where I am today. Joyna's eyes were calm and calm.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't expect that to put you in danger because I didn't tell you the truth." The girl shook her head a little helplessly, "Actually, it's our holy land, and some ...... are sealed Unknown forces, I thought they wouldn't bother you. ”
After the girl finished speaking, she glanced at the tall man beside her, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
"Ah no, it's okay, we were determined to go at the beginning, didn't you also send Li Qing to be our guide later? What happened next...... It's not about you, I'm very grateful to you! ”
"Hmm-"
At this time, Joyna suddenly felt that the nameless coercion on her body disappeared, and glanced behind the elder out of the corner of her eye, knowing that the coercion came from a tall man.
The man let out coercion, but he didn't test Joyna's strength, and he was also a little surprised.
But he remained silent, bowed his head slightly, and half of his face was hidden in the shadow of the hood, but it could be seen from the extent of the two thin lips that he grinned to death, and the expression seemed to be a little disdainful.
The two girls behind him immediately understood, and slowly let go of their hands gripping the hilt of the knife.
"Well, me...... It's true that some changes are well known here, right? ”
Joyna glanced at the two Dominoes, then stretched out her arms generously to the four of them, pointing to the chairs at the table, acting exactly like the owner of the place.
"Time flies, we haven't seen each other for almost a year, do those things...... How to say that? ”
Joyna couldn't hide a faint smile and shook her head, "Okay, let's not just stand, let's sit down." ”
"By the way, I haven't asked you any of you why you're here."
"Well, are we here...... You're right, some things are really frustrating! The elder untied the huge sword box from his body and placed it gently at his feet.
Then he turned around, glanced at the tall man behind him, and sat down in his chair.
The others sat down at the round table and removed their hoods.
It was only then that Joyna saw the tall man's appearance clearly.
Under the pale skin of the neck, it seems to be transparent, the blood vessels are clearly visible, and the face like a knife is thin. The expression is a little stiff, but the eyes are sharp.
In a word, he doesn't look like a normal human being.
Instead, it was the two girls beside him, who walked lightly and were full of confidence.
Although the expression is also cold, the face is ruddy, and there is no doubt that they all have a standard cold beauty face.
Joyna asked, "Helpless?" Are you referring to the purpose of the trip? ”
She said as she looked into the bright eyes of the strange man.
I feel that this person is also like a mutant, cold arrogance and nameless prestige coexist, but what is different from other mutants, I can't know just by feeling.
The conversation quickly got to the point, and incredibly, what both sides said shocked each other.
The Elder's name is Hazy Night, and as for her identity, as has been said before, she is known as the Ancients.
Hazy Night simply introduced the other three to Joyna and the others, but for them, she only said that they were from the same place as her, and did not say so in detail, obviously hiding something.
It's kind of interesting!
Joyna narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking to herself, I wonder why she didn't tell the truth? His face remained silent, maintaining a faint smile, and he listened to the introduction of Haoye.
In fact, Joyna had been keeping an eye on the three of them, especially the tall man, who was by no means human, nor was he a Jidu human.
Because, there is an aura of danger emanating from his body.
She didn't know what that aura was, it was very similar to the mutant but not quite the same, and it seemed that there was still some weak spiritual reaction.
Although the other party deliberately hid it, he definitely couldn't hide it from Joyna's discernment. After receiving Zhuge Yun's spiritual power and evolving her body, she is no longer what she used to be.
These were the guards of the so-called Ancients, who were tasked with guarding the secrets of the Sacred Mountain, but they were all also descended from another branch of the Jidu people.
"So, you mean, you've known the Dominoes for a long time?" Joyna shook her long, fiery red hair, and squinted her eyes in contemplation.
"That's right, the ancestors of their family do have some connections with us. After all, we are not unsavvy to the fireworks of the world, and sometimes we need to rely on human strength to survive in the secular world. ”
Hazy Night looked at the two of the Domino family, and said calmly, "Actually, it's okay not to mention this matter, because it's not important now." ”
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, you traded some knowledge for their supplies?"
"That's pretty much it, each box takes what it needs, but this time it's different, we have other purposes."
"I understand that after all that has happened, some secrets are not secrets." Joyna expressed her understanding and said domineeringly, "I'll listen to you, I'll have the final say here." ”
Hazy Night was surprised, "Really? Unexpectedly, you are the person who speaks in this city! There's something I'd like to know from you. ”
"Please." Joyna said indifferently.
Hazy Night's eyes lowered and she slowly shook her head, "Anyway, this planet is about to enter a new era, which we call reincarnation. Although this has been predicted in the ancient texts of the Jidu people, I still don't understand, how did you humans manage to predict all this in advance? ”
Hao Ye knew that this woman's strength was very strong now, and this floating city was not simple, and someone must have made preparations in advance in order to deal with the crisis of the Jiuyao conjoined body in this way.
"Understood, by foresight, do you mean those black towers, mutant viruses, and these two floating cities that rose ahead of schedule?"
"Well, yes, I'm a little curious."
"I would like to correct the saying that we do not have the ability to foresee, and when I first met you, I had no idea that such an amazing thing could happen in this world."
After Joyna said this, she suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
There is a cause and there is an effect, these things are arranged by the master early in the morning, why is this?
Could it be that the master really has the ability to foresee?
Hazy Night's brow furrowed, "But, you did manage to avoid potential risks, right?" ”
Joyna calmed down slightly, and secretly thought to herself, how to explain this to the other party, not only them, but also herself.
But the master hasn't come back yet, so it's better to ask Hazy Ye about the ancient prophecy first.
"...... potential risks? Wait a minute, I wonder what is the ancient prophecy you just mentioned? ”
"Well, that's what was recorded in the 'Book of the Five Sacrifices,' which is the equivalent of an epic or prophecy collection of the Jidu people, in which many obscure and incomprehensible stories are told. However, its original can no longer be found. Hazy Night shook her head in some frustration.
"Oh, I see." Joyna thought thoughtfully.
"In this city, can you call the shots about everything, no matter what?" Hazy Night suddenly asked.
Joyna looked at Hazy Night, "It depends on what it's about, I can basically call the shots about the big and small affairs here, but ......"
"But?"
"I hope you can explain your intentions first, and let me judge."
Haoye looked at the man beside him, and the other party's face was impatient, and his expression immediately became strange.
They originally wanted to secretly inquire about some information through their relationship with the Domino family and then make a decision, but unexpectedly, Joyna suddenly appeared, which made her a little uncertain.
"There are some things that I have a hard time explaining and if you say them, it can affect everyone a lot, so is that okay?"
"Impacting everyone here?" Joyna was a little surprised, but didn't show it on her face. "You mean, you have to be sure if I can call the shots before you can tell me?"
Hazy Night nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Hmm...... It's a bit tricky! Joyna wondered if she should wait for her master to return.
The two were at a stalemate, and each had some thoughts, and they both pondered.
I don't know how to explain it to the other party, after all, there are too many things involved, and the threads are messy, and there will be conflicts of interest.
Next, Joyna decided to take a roundabout approach, starting with other questions to understand the other party's intentions.
So, Joyna asked the same question, which might not be a problem, but received an answer that surprised her.
"By the way, I remember you told you about your relationship with Ispartine, right?" Joyna asked, "You said at the time that you were of the same vein as them?" ”
