Chapter 53: Wind and Rain, Wind and Rain
Far away from the Eastern Dragon Domain, there is a huge city on the western continent, which is built on the sea, and its towering walls and mountain-like castles make the roaring waves dull.
The black city walls have been poured with molten iron, and the blue fluorescent magic arrays that appear on it from time to time show the extraordinaryness of this city, every brick of those castles in the city is carved with exquisite patterns, and hundreds of high mage towers are regularly spread throughout the city, and the buildings full of Western characteristics make this place look more like a place where only the emperors of the Western Continent are qualified to live.
The huge castle complex gives people a sense of antiquity, if you look at it from the sky, you will find that this is a huge magic array composed of castles, and there are countless mysteries in the city, not only for living, but also for a war monster that can be called a fortress.
There are no more than five families in the Eastern Cadre Realm who can have such a large amount of money, and there are only the rumored first families in the Western Continent - the Xu family.
But it was by the sea in such an atmospheric city, where the messy reef had been bulldozed somewhere, and a small and delicate pavilion stood alone, and behind the pavilion was a garden, which was often tended to by someone, and the city was more delicate and beautiful.
A beautiful woman in the shape of a woman in a white veil sat in the pavilion, and the ornaments around her neck and wrist gave her a simple beauty, like a holy angel who had fallen into the mortal world, and her blue eyes looked at the sky that was raining heavily.
Neither the water nor the waves churning in the storm could pass a drop over the pavilion, as if an invisible wall kept them out of the way.
A pair of large broad hands rested on her shoulders from behind, and the warmth and steadiness made her lean against the person behind her.
"Go back, if you stay any longer, you're going to catch a cold. The man behind him said gently, his gaze also looking into the distance.
"Are you done?" the woman asked softly, her head still resting on him.
The man hummed, and then sat down beside her, and the two of them were silent for a few moments, but the silence seemed warm.
"The wind may have been delayed because of this storm, it's windy outside, you can go back first, I'll just wait here." After a moment, the man spoke.
"I don't feel at ease if the wind doesn't come back, you said this level of rain...... It shouldn't be a problem for those dragons. There was a worry in the woman's tone, as if she was afraid that some monster in the rainstorm would block her son's way back.
The woman is Xu Lingfeng's mother, so the identity of the man is about to come out, the head of the Xu family - Xu Youji.
Xu Youshu didn't say anything more, just hugged his wife and sat quietly together.
When the night fell, and even the waves couldn't be seen clearly, the three people who went to the dragon clan still didn't return, and Xu Youshu couldn't help but wonder, it stands to reason that it won't take so long.
Suddenly, a striking blue light appeared in the sky, and the two of them thought that Xu Lingfeng and the others were back, but there was only one blue light, and the speed was extremely fast, and it rushed to the sea not far away after a while.
Xu Youshu and his wife both showed disappointed looks, but the blue light flew straight towards the pavilion, probably someone was looking for him.
"Hmm, Ancestor?!" The blue light dissipated, Xu Youshu was startled for a moment when he saw the identity of the comer, the last time he saw the ancestor was a long time ago, and the ancestor had been in retreat and cultivated since then and did not come out again, how could he not be surprised when the ancestor suddenly appeared in front of him.
"I'm just a doppelganger of the body, and I'm going to disappear now, just ask them for details. ”
Immediately, the old man turned into a rain of cyan light, and the two people he was carrying in his left and right hands fell lightly to the ground.
Xu Youshu didn't understand why the ancestor had a clone outside, but that wasn't something he should speculate, his gaze stayed on the two people on the ground who were all dressed in tatters.
"For the ancestor to be born and save each other, these two should be very important. Xu Youshu saw that the bright red blood spread from the two of them with the rain on the ground, he couldn't help frowning, and when he checked it, he found that the two people were a man and a woman, one of his arms had disappeared, and the blood gushed out from the untreated wounds, and the wounds on the other were deep and bone-seeing, both of them were seriously injured, and if they were not treated in time, they would not be far from death.
"Ciel, you go back first. Xu Youshu said, the woman naturally knew that as soon as the ancestor appeared, then things would not be simple, she nodded and walked towards the city.
"Guards, hurry up and call the pharmacist and mage. Xu Youshu shouted into the distance, and the two figures in armor quickly left, and he turned around and took out some urgently needed medicines from the ring in his hand.
As the master of the Nine Heavens of the Dan Period, and the head of the Xu family, how could there be no medicine with him, the cultivation of the two of them is not high, and it is not difficult to stop bleeding in the four or five heavens of the Pulse Cutting Period.
He took out a glass bottle containing a yellowish clear potion, uncorked it and poured it over the wound of the man with the severed arm, and then a surprising scene occurred.
The wound on the wounded man's severed arm stopped bleeding, and granulations grew one by one, and the wound was blocked in a short time, but this could only ensure that he would no longer lose blood, but it could not channel the blood, let alone treat the injuries in his body.
Xu Youshu took out another bottle of pink potion, dripped it on the wound on the woman's body, lifted her head, and was about to feed her the potion, when he suddenly felt that the girl was a little familiar.
"This is Xu Lian's promise?!" he wiped the blood from the woman's face with the magic robe on his body, which was worth ten cities, and the familiar face made his heart tighten, and his face turned white for a moment.
Xu Lian promised to go to the Dragon Domain with Xu Lingfeng, could it be that the man with the broken arm was his son?
Thinking of this, Xu Youshu didn't care about the girl in his hand at all, and turned around to confirm his terrible conjecture.
"Fortunately, it's not ......" The figure of this man with a broken arm is very different from Xu Lingfeng, he is definitely not his son, it will only be Xu Lie among the three, so it means that Ling Feng is not seriously injured, but the question is where is he?
At this time, the pharmacist and the mage arrived, dozens of mages wearing blue robes and holding law enforcement staff surrounded the wounded, they recited incantations, the staff emitted a soft light, and after a while, a kind of warmth like the sun shrouded the pavilion, Xu Lie and Xu Liannuo's faces improved a little, and the blood completely stopped.
The pharmacist approached, checked the injuries of the two for a while, and after taking out the corresponding potion from the ring and giving it to the two of them, he was pulled by the anxious Xu Youji.
"How long will it take for them to wake up?" Xu Youshu was very anxious, he wanted to know how Xu Lingfeng was doing, what happened on the road, so that the ancestor personally dispatched, and these can only be known when the two of them wake up.
The apothecary bowed down and performed a mage's courtesy, and then replied, "Honorable lord, the two of them are very seriously injured, judging by the injuries should be caused by giant beasts, if they wake up naturally, it may take a few days, and our potions can make them sober up now, but the injuries will be slightly worsened." ”
The pharmacist and many people in the city used to refer to Xu Yuju as lord rather than as the chief, and the reason for this linguistic difference is simple.
The Xu family was not originally a native of the West, but migrated from the East to settle here, and most of the mages in the city were natives of the Western Continent, so there was a slight difference in language.
Xu Youshu didn't care about these details, but ordered: "Okay, hurry up and wake them up." ”
The apothecary then took out two more vials of dark blue potion from the ring, helped them up, carefully put the potion into their mouths, and then got up and performed a mage salute before leaving alone.
But after a while, the two woke up in turn, and what greeted them was Xu Youjun, who looked anxious.
"What happened on the road? What did you encounter? What about Ling Feng?" three questions pressed at the two of them, and in the extremely depressed atmosphere, Xu Liannuo suddenly burst into tears, not knowing whether it was the shock of the rest of his life after the catastrophe or the unbearable horror that happened to them.
Xu Lie's face turned pale, and although the dozens of mages around him kept maintaining healing spells to recover his injuries, his face was pale and terrifying when he saw his useless arm.
Xu Lie's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said resentfully: "It's all the beasts of the Dragon Clan! Just because the Third Young Master signed a contract with a talented little beast, he stopped us on the way back to the family!"
"On the way back, when we crossed the storm belt, the dragon clan actually ambushed us and almost killed us, if it wasn't for me and Xu Lian promise to be rescued by the ancestor in time, maybe that group of animals would say that the three of us were buried in the dangerous storm circle!"
Xu Youshu's mind seemed to be hit hard, and the dragon clan made a move! He had already expected what Xu Lingfeng would do, but he didn't want to believe it, and asked with a glimmer of hope: "So Ling Feng ...... him"
Xu Lie said with a sad expression: "The third young man only had time to crush the life-saving jade pendant that the ancestor gave him at the last moment, Xu Liannuo and I sank into the sea and pretended to be dead to escape, and were rescued by the ancestor who rushed to the sea, but the third young master was buried at the bottom of the sea." ”
As soon as he said this, Xu Liannuo on the side cried louder, but at this time, Xu Youyu couldn't hear it at all, and the whole person stayed in place.
Wind ...... He's dead?
Xu Youshu has a total of three sons and four daughters, the eldest son and the second son are twins, the difference is very small, they are all good candidates for the next head, and the relationship between him and these two sons is more like that of the inherited and the heir, he disciplines them very strictly, and rarely shows warmth.
And the only one who really made him feel the happiness of being a father was Xu Lingfeng, the third son, in addition to being the head.
Today, his son died......
Xu Lie and Xu Youqu were quietly taken away by the entourage who rushed in, Xu Youqu stood motionless, no one knew what he was thinking, and no one dared to disturb him.
On the shore, the storm mixed with the raindrops like stones hit him, and he was silent like an extinct volcano.
I don't know how long it took for the storm to finally stop, and the priceless mage robe on his body was messy, and the guards in the distance had never seen the lord like this, and they were all a little nervous in their hearts.
At this time, Xu Youshu turned around and walked towards the city, he didn't care how messy he was, his steps were as firm as usual, or even more determined.
"Order a meeting of all the inner city elders. He whispered in the guard's ear and left, heading in the direction of where the Old Ancestor of the City Finale lived.
Xu Youshu's words seemed to have completely lost his feelings, colder than the flying snow in the extreme north, and even the soldiers were also elites who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield, and they also shuddered after hearing that ordinary sentence.
What kind of churning lava lies beneath the cold?
