After a night of rapid travel, Jue and his party arrived in the new city before dawn.

According to the steps in the plan, Edward should contact the clansmen as soon as possible, speed up the negotiation and alliance between the two parties, and formulate a plan to fight the demons.

Because it is not suitable to move in the daytime, I temporarily stay in the hostel to recuperate.

In the guest room, Edward sat in the corner with his money bag in his hand, crying on his face, this is the family property he has accumulated for a long time, and he was so cheated by them.

Reluctantly paid for the room, and there could be no complaints, and the gloomy gaze of Sevi alone was enough for him to be frightened for a while.

"Don't be afraid, we'll protect you!"

Just when he was pouring out bitterness in his heart, Jin Wenrun's peaceful concern came from behind him.

Edward turned his head to Jin Hehe and smiled, took back most of the money bag in his hand without a trace, and replied, "Thank you, I believe in you!" ”

In fact, he slandered in his heart: I believe you are a ghost, if you don't eat me dry and wipe me clean, there is no bone residue left, I love Edward handstand gambling!

"Hmm!"

Kim nodded in relief, moved a stool and sat beside him, turning his head sideways to enjoy the scenery of the street outside through the window.

Edward turned his head and scanned the whole room, there were two unsmiling "gods" guarding the door, Yuke and Lenson, and on the big bed on the other side, leaning on the dangerous silver-haired blood, he was closing his eyes to recuperate, not to mention how chic!

Edward's gaze, which seemed to be aware of it, suddenly opened his eyes when he closed his eyes, and his eyes locked on him as quickly as radar, startling Edward to quickly turn his head away.

The flustered appearance was too obvious, and even Jin next to him noticed his strangeness: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Edward hung his head and whispered, "It's okay! "I thought it was better to get along with this guy named Kim.

The other side.

Jue, Han Qingluo, and Jia Luo were in charge of going out to keep an eye on them.

Walking on the bustling street, the natural and peaceful state of the people made Han Qingluo feel a little envious.

They are unaware of the many potential dangers in this world and go about their lives step by step.

This suddenly reminded her of a sentence: How can there be so many quiet years in this world, it's just that someone is carrying the weight for you.

Yes, her current years are quiet, all of them were given to her by Jue, he has been carrying the weight forward, silently enduring, and he can enjoy all this as a matter of course, it seems a little shameful.

Unable to help but sigh, Han Qingluo blinked, wanting to drive out this pessimistic mood, she has been too easily emotionally sensitive recently.

Now she is a contradiction, while trying to persuade herself to want to open, she has to stubbornly think about things that destroy the relationship between the two.

When she decided to end her relationship with Kim, she had been so entangled in her heart, in the final analysis, she was a selfish person, and when her ambitions were not satisfied, she would fall into the quagmire that she had personally circled and could not extricate herself.

Worried, Han Qingluo's eyebrows were unevenly tangled, she ignored everything around her, completely immersed in her own world, and moved her steps mechanically like a walking corpse.

Suddenly, a heavy weight on her shoulders stopped her steps, and Han Qingluo's wandering thoughts were temporarily pulled back, and she looked back at it, and her face was embarrassed.

It turns out that if you take another step, your head will have an intimate contact with a hard wall close at hand.

"Okay, so you'd rather be with the wall...... Don't want to kiss me! ”

Before she could react, Jue's low and bold joke suddenly sounded in her ears.

Han Qingluo tilted his head suddenly, looking at Jue's very gentlemanly and serious face in surprise, and choked after saying "you", the hand raised by the trend was weak, helpless and innocent, and there was nowhere to put it.

Jue hooked the corners of her lips, chuckled, took her hand, pulled the latter away from the wall, and reminded softly: "Don't lose your mind when walking, don't forget, we have other things to do besides shopping!" ”

"I'm sorry!"

Han Qingluo smiled stupidly, followed Jue's steps, and continued to wander the street.

As he walked, the pedestrians around him became more and more scarce, and Han Qingluo's gaze fell on the dim beam of light in front of him, realizing that it was dusk.

"Let's go back!"

Han Qingluo put aside his worries for the time being, smiled and pulled Jue to go back.

"After walking for so long, you still refuse to speak?"

Jue stood in place, and his footsteps did not move half a minute because of Han Qingluo.

Han Qingluo turned her head in surprise, because of Jue's intention, her smile gradually solidified and disappeared, she frowned, and her tone was full of dissatisfaction: "You did it on purpose?" ”

I just felt that there was a fire in my heart, and he was upset enough, and he had to deliberately come to find trouble. What do you want her to say? Is it to show him her heart, so that he will be happy?

wanted to shake off Jue's hand, but was held by him, Han Qingluo was so angry that he was short of breath, and said coldly: "Let go!" ”

“……”

Jue only stared at her and didn't say a word.

"I said let go!"

“……”

In the face of Han Qingluo's angry rebuke, Jue was still unmoved.

Seeing Jue playing the scoundrel of the Cold War, Han Qingluo simply stared at him and stopped talking.

The two sides are speechless, each with affection.

Long.

Jue's tightly pursed lips loosened, and he took Han Qingluo, who was in a stalemate with him, into his arms, and whispered in a compromise: "Forget it, I don't force you, I thought it was all said before, but ......"

Jue paused for a moment, let go of her, and continued sincerely face to face: "I respect you and respect all your decisions!" Between the words, he smiled with relief and hugged her waist, "Let's go, it's time to go back!" ”

In the face of Jue's regression, the anger in Han Qingluo's heart was unconsciously suppressed by complex emotions, she wanted to apologize, but she couldn't pull it down, so she only responded stiffly "um", threw off Jue, and walked forward.

In front of him, a trace of injury flashed in Jue's indifferent eyes, he lowered his eyes, and his lightly opened lips were tightly pursed again.

On the other side, Galo, who had gone around the city and found nothing, happened to see the two of them and planned to go over and return the same way, but he obviously smelled a strange smell.

They quarreled!

Galo stopped across the street, his legs that had nowhere to be placed, he didn't know whether to step forward or backward, and glanced around, just as he decided to avoid the minefield and escape, he realized that it was too late, and Jue was walking towards him.

"Ah...... What a coincidence. ”

Garlo spoke awkwardly.

Jue replied expressionlessly, said "Let's go", and walked forward.

Garo fell behind, helplessly looking at Jue's unhappy back, shrugged, and followed uncomfortably.

……

At night, the temperature drops, and there are few pedestrians on the streets.

The night breeze carries the cold air, blowing in gusts, and in the late autumn season, the chill becomes more and more obvious, indicating that winter is coming.

According to the plan, Jue and his entourage took Edward of Revorno, left a blood-colored mark in the most conspicuous position of the city, and contacted the patriarch.

What followed was endless waiting and hiding, and they were not sure whether they had escaped the tracking of the demons, so they could not be taken lightly.

The small room was crowded with six blood men.

The room that should have been lively was eerily quiet, and Edward, who was sandwiched in the middle, was silent for some reason, but he also seemed to smell a glimmer of truth, because in the room, only the human woman was absent.

In another room, the absent Han Qingluo sat alone on the edge of the bed, looking at the flickering candlelight, she looked at the door from time to time, stared at it for a while, and then turned her head back, as if she had an endless sigh.

"The ......"

Unable to endure the torturous silence, Edward spoke out and broke the original harmony.

"Shut up!"

Servi, who was standing by the window, turned her head and glanced at him.

"But what I want to say is ......"

Edward, wanting to speak, glared innocently.

"Noise!"

Sevi impatiently struck the knife again.

“…… They're coming. ”

Edward shrunk his neck and continued in a humble whisper, his tone full of his own little stubbornness.

——

Outside the city.

Four figures swept past one after another.

"Are you sure it's Edward's distress signal?"

As he ran, Mal approached Zach and asked worriedly.

"Sure, he's being held hostage in the city, and we must rescue him!"

Zack's expression was solemn, and in the face of the clansmen's pleas for help, he, the new patriarch, could not see death without help.

"Don't worry, Eli and I will secretly help you retreat, and after finding Edward, we will immediately withdraw from the city!"

The former patriarch Malor gave them a reassuring look, Eli, who had a broken arm, was not suitable to face the enemy head-on, and could only be used as a backhand cover.

After the four Revorno were simply assigned tasks, they dodged and infiltrated the city.

They first left a mark, informed Edward in advance that they were coming, and waited for him to respond.

Soon, Edward's side also gave a signal of "safety".

When the four Revornos received the news, they were overjoyed, and it seemed that the intelligent and sleek Edward was not in danger of dying.

Then since there is nothing to do, you can contact him to join him and hurry up and continue on the road.

Zack's side relaxed his tense nerves, while Edward's side was uncomfortable.

"Big brother, I've already signaled to them, you can put the knife down, okay?"

Under the coercion of Sevi, Edward operated and "sold his teammates" and sold "happily".

According to Sevi's original words, if he is not honest and sends random signals to let his people escape, he will not want to get back the money he spent, and Eternal Life can only face him Sevi and say goodbye to the dear casino.

This is the big problem of the century, and Edward chose to compromise after "weighing the pros and cons" in all aspects.

Seeing his timid appearance, Sevi removed the knife on his neck with satisfaction, and jokingly said: "Little transparent, count you as acquaintance!" ”

Edward touched his neck in embarrassment and muttered, "My name is Edward!" ”

"Did they reply?"

Galo, who was waiting, couldn't help but speak.

Edward looked at him and shook his head, "Wait! ”

There was silence for a long time.

Finally waiting for the news.

"They're waiting for me in the birch forest outside the city!"

Edward thought for a while, but still planned to tell them that during this short time together, he really didn't find out what bad intentions they had for Revorno.

In addition, the demons who witnessed the persecution of them in the legend were disgusted and scared verbally, but they had already stood in line in their hearts, and with the help of the demon secret and the blood clan of the two parties, it was much wiser for the Revornor blood clan during this time than choosing to fight alone.

For the time being, entrust your hope to them, after all, they are both blood clans, and in the face of the sudden rise of the powerful power of the demon clan, it is always more reliable to be familiar with them.
