Chapter 197: Return to Noqi City
The horses galloped forward with the four wheels, and without much effort, they left the outermost observation post of the Northern Legion garrison.
Lin Xi's eyes narrowed, his hand clenched the giant sword Blue Flame, and the person had already jumped out from the right side of the carriage.
"Someone is in the way. As soon as he came out, Lin Xi heard the middle-aged uncle's panicked voice. The uncle was specially hired by General Marton, and was only responsible for sending Lynsey to Nuoqi City, he didn't have much kung fu, if it weren't for the fact that he was near the army station, and the two people who stood in the way seemed to be quite kind-looking, and the match was quite unusual, he would have been so frightened that he would have fled.
Lin Xi only heard the four words spoken by the uncle, and then he was about to raise the giant sword to fight, but when he looked up, he was stunned.
"Whew!" "Babbling. ”
An old man dressed as a housekeeper and a thin middle-aged man stood in front of him, smiling and waiting for him, and next to a fat-headed dog squatted with a small snow-white penguin.
Lin Xi's eyes moistened, and he walked forward quickly, his voice full of surprise and trembling. "Grandpa Monroe, God of War senior. "Lin Xi really didn't expect them to come here, and they came so quickly, and they had been waiting here for a while.
"Get in the car. Miller still didn't say much, first paid the middle-aged man who was stunned, and then beckoned Linsey to a spacious carriage.
Lin Xi put the giant sword into the ring, picked up Manu with one hand, hugged Xiaobai with the other, and entered the carriage with a smile on his face.
The carriage was also hired, ordinary and inconspicuous, and even the four horses pulling the carriage were not Warcraft, but they were also horses.
"Grandpa Monroe, senior god of war, why did you think of coming here to pick me up?" Lin Xi was a little curious, after all, he was forced to leave the army since his uncle's accident, but it was only about two days.
"Ask it!" Miller said, pointing angrily at the little penguin.
"Babble. Xiao Bai first rolled his signature eyes at Miller, and by the way, he didn't forget to stretch out his two little paws and wave them arrogantly at Miller a few times, and then he tilted his little head towards Linsey and raised it high, looking quite proud, as if he had done a great thing.
"Wang. Manu, the fat dog, barked dissatisfiedly, shaking the fat flesh of his whole body, looking quite disdainful.
"Xiaobai, did you fly here with Grandpa Monroe, the God of War seniors, and Manu?" Lin Xi guessed what was going on as soon as he saw the little guy's proud appearance.
"Babbling. The little guy sitting on the side smiled, his big eyes bent into a crescent moon shape, and he looked indescribably cute and cute. For fear that Lin Xi wouldn't believe it, the little guy deliberately stood up and flapped his little wings a few times.
After being confirmed, Lin Xi was still surprised. Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, the little guy could carry two adults at a time, and fly thousands of miles from Noqi City, which is close to the south, to the Northern Army!
"Xiao Bai is making rapid progress, and at its speed, the current seventh-order martial artist can't help it when he gets close. If it is a head-on confrontation, relying on Xiao Bai's increasingly proficient control ability against the fire element, it is still certain to defeat a martial artist below the middle of the sixth order. Monroe laughed from the sidelines, and it was obvious that he really liked the little one.
"The speed advantage is easy to understand, after all, Xiaobai is a white spirit bird, and the innate advantage is there. But about the attack of the fire element, I have never figured it out, ask Xiaobai this confused worm, it is not clear, in the end, the white spirit birds are not good at fire attacks, they rely on speed and a pair of sharp wings. Lynsey told the two well-informed seniors about the problems that had been bothering him, hoping to find some eyebrows from them.
"The identity of the little penguin is not so simple, only one of its parents should be a white spirit bird, and the other one must be good at fire attacks, as for what kind of spirit beast it is, it is unknown. Although Miller said his opinion, he still didn't have a good face when he looked at Xiaobai.
"Lin Xi, don't be in a hurry to find out Xiaobai's identity first, I also agree with Miller's opinion, but after all, it is still in the growth period, far from being an adult, and some innate supernatural powers have not yet been inherited, so it is not easy for me to make judgments. Monroe then said.
"Babble. The little guy was happy, but also a little lonely, Lin Xi knew that the little guy was missing his parents, so he couldn't help but hold Xiaobai in his arms, gently caressing and comforting.
After getting along for a period of time, Lin Xi also knew that the identity of this little beast who only knew how to sleep and eat, and had a strong defense but did not seem to have much light in attack, was not ordinary, and he also wanted to determine the identity of the little one, and then help the little one find its parents as soon as possible. From beginning to end, he never thought of taking Xiaobai for himself and becoming his pet.
"Oh, by the way, Senior Miller, but Xiaobai annoyed you?" Lin Xi suddenly remembered the expression of love and hate between the God of War senior and the little guy, and naturally thought that the little guy was in trouble again.
Xiaobai, who was still a little sad just now, began to wink at Miller again when he heard Lin Xi say this.
"I don't dare to sit on its back anymore and travel all over the world. Miller said to Lynsey "unhappily," said Linsey, "and I have suffered a lot along the way, swaying like a little drunkard, and almost shaking my bones to pieces." ”
Lin Xi smiled, he naturally knew why the little guy behaved like this, Nuoqi City was so far away from the Northern Army, and it was necessary to fly continuously along the way, which was a huge torture for the little guy who was used to sleeping lazily, and it was lucky that it stumbled all the way to the destination without much energy, at least it didn't fall headlong.
A few more people talked about a few more light topics, but the pleasant atmosphere was only temporary. Miller and Monroe didn't want to touch Lynsey's sadness, and Lynsey's mind was like a mess of mud before, and his mood was very low, and he unexpectedly ran into two seniors who treated him very well, and the topic naturally deviated from the point first.
But now, Lynsey felt it was time to talk about it.
"Uncle's home in Noqi City was really confiscated by the Empire?"
"It's not about raiding the house, it's just driving us out and sealing the house. Before I came here, I had already arranged the whereabouts of the servants, but now, hehe, Linxi, you can't enter that house. Monroe spoke calmly, but looked very lonely. After all, after living in the General's Mansion for so many years, I have long had different feelings for the houses and people there, and now that the house is gone, the feeling of things and people will indeed add a lot of sadness.
"Where are we going, then, and are we going back to Noki City?" asked Linsey.
"Go back, go back first. Chris and Leng Fan are still waiting, let's discuss it after we meet, and see where you go next. Originally, it was planned that you would train in the army for a few more years, and your strength would naturally increase, but this road was also cut off, and you had to find another way. With your strength to take revenge, it is not enough to deal with the Ryan family who have been bad to you, you also need to keep training. So, we have to plan carefully. ”
Without waiting for Lynsey to say anything, Monroe took the words of his apprentice Miller.
"Lynsey, I also know that you have always liked to plan your own life and follow the path you have chosen. I also know that interfering with a person, especially to restrain a person, is disrespectful to that person. But these are extraordinary times, and there are some things that we have to do more than we can handle, so I hope you don't mind. ”
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of Monroe's words.
"I didn't think so. In fact, you have always listened to and respected the path I chose, and helped me selflessly, and I have never felt like I was bound by outsiders. My uncle is gone, I can't stay in the relatively safe army, and there are people from the Lane family on the side, what the actual situation is, I can see clearly, and naturally I can see that several seniors are really good to me. Don't worry, I won't have any guilt, as long as I can improve my strength as soon as possible, I won't be afraid of no matter how hard and tired I am. ”
"Actually, my master is also too worried. A smile appeared on Miller's shriveled face, "We don't want you to grow up according to our wishes, let alone turn you into our good boys, if you don't seem to be hypocritical, we are caring about you and want to see what we can do for your growth in this extraordinary period." ”
Linsey nodded, skipping the matter. He understands the well-intentioned practices of several old-timers, and it would be really hypocritical to explain it again. "I just don't know how my uncle is doing in Apomato. Lynsey then said that he was a little worried about his uncle.
"General Nicholas must have had his thoughts when he went to Apomato, and if it was really treason, he would definitely have an explanation to you in advance of Linsey. But don't worry, Linxi, your uncle has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he will come back well. Miller's words were not to comfort Lynsey, but to be sonorous and forceful, apparently not suspicious of Nicholas, which also made Lynsey secretly grateful to Miller.
There were stops and stops along the way, and there were several changes of horses along the way, and the speed of the journey was not slow, but it took five days to reach the city of Noki. There is definitely no need to go back to the General's Palace, it has been requisitioned by the Empire, not only has it been sealed, but there are soldiers patrolling nearby, and it is obviously unrealistic and irrational to break into the door.
So, the group simply went to a small two-story red building on the corner of Noqi Street, which according to Miller was the place to meet the others today.
From the outside, the decoration of this two-story building is simple and elegant, and it is not necessarily very spacious, but after walking in, Lin Xi found that there is actually a hole inside. The house appears to be large, and the key is that it extends long enough. Walk through the courtyard dotted with lush trees and past a small mirror-like lake to reach the main house. There was a deep courtyard around and behind the main house, and Lin Xi even found that a separate place had been carved out on the very edge, which seemed to be used for martial arts training.
It was Chris and Leng Fan seniors who went out to greet them, although they knew in advance that their two seniors would appear, but when they really stood in front of them with a smile on their faces and love, Lin Xi was still moved in his heart.
After greeting each other, several people began to go straight to the topic, plus there was no point in the first place, and the topic started at once.
