As soon as the Seven Artifact Expedition team entered the village of Grancia, they felt a strange atmosphere, the farmland under the dark night could not hear the sound of insects, the streets without lights were difficult to find human voices, every house had its doors and windows closed, and there was a dead silence all around, which made people feel like they had come to a dead village.

"Excuse me, anyone? We are travelers who happen to be passing through this place, and we want to spend the night here because it is getting late. Ling Wenxuan's voice echoed in the biting cold wind, and the tone seemed a little weird.

One by one, the candles lit up in the houses, as if agreed in advance, and some of the villagers opened the windows to poke their heads out, some walked out of the houses with their families, and some held farm tools in their right hands and torches in their left hands, with very unfriendly expressions.

Seeing that there were more and more villagers gathered around, Ling Wenxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this village was not an uninhabited village, so he decided to explain their intention to the villagers.

But as soon as Ling Wenxuan took a few steps, the villagers with farm tools in their hands rushed up and surrounded them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gui Xun'er was about to unsheath the Qixu Magic Sword, but Ling Wenxuan hurriedly pressed her sword scabbard and motioned to see the situation.

Seeing that they had no intention of resisting, an elderly man at the head ordered everyone to put away their farm tools: "Who are you, and why are you coming to Grancia Village?"

"We are travelers from Heglila, on our way to the Republic of Geruni. Ling Wenxuan greeted Lan Lingxiang, Gui Xun'er and Youna respectively, "This is my master, the noble lady of Heglila, and the one next to her is her maid, as well as the eldest lady's friend." ”

"Then the girl next to you is ......" The old man hurriedly asked when he saw that Ling Wenxuan had not yet introduced Lin Yaoxi, who was tied with his hands tied.

"I was ...... by them Hmm......" Lin Yaoxi was just halfway through her words when she was blocked by Gui Xun'er with a towel.

"This person is a female thief we met on the road, but don't worry, I will take care of her, and it will not cause you any harm. Ling Wenxuan smiled and saluted, he would not let Lin Yaoxi ruin his plan.

"I see, since you are not a member of the Tianyao Sect, our village should be hospitable to you, I was rude just now, I'm really embarrassed. The old man straightened the scarf on his head and introduced himself, "My name is Lester, and I am mainly responsible for the security work in the village, and the village of Grancia has not received outsiders for more than ten years, please don't be surprised." ”

"Of course not, it just felt like the village had suddenly come to life. Gui Xun'er glared at Lin Yaoxi, turned to Leicester and said, "Old man, is there a place in the village for us to live temporarily?"

"Yes...... Some...... Please come with me. Lester waved his hand to signal the crowd around him to disperse, and he led the Seven Artifact Expedition to a two-storey attic alone, "This is the only inn in our village, and it has closed down due to the scarcity of customers. ”

"Then what do you rely on to make a living now?"

With a "squeak", the wooden door was pushed open by Lester, and he led everyone into the inn: "Relying on the one-third of an acre of land outside the village, in the past, caravans from Chilu Autonomous Prefecture to the Republic of Geruni had to pass through here, and the village of Grancia used to be prosperous, but now there are more and more abandoned fields, and life is not easy." ”

As soon as Lester entered the hall, he lit an oil lamp on the lampstand in the corner, and then picked up a broom and simply dusted the room.

Yuna suddenly heard what appeared to be a coughing sound in the depths of the room, and hurriedly confirmed with Lester.

But at this moment, a male villager with a torch ran over in a panic: "Oh no! Three thieves claiming to be the Langtian Adventure Group have broken into the village. ”

"Let's go and see, we can't let them hurt the villagers. Lester turned to the people in the hall and said, "Guys, please rest here for a while, and then arrange housing for you when I am done with this matter." ”

Lin Yaoxi, who was next to her, couldn't bear it anymore, and tried her best to speak, but because she was gagged by Gui Xun'er's towel, she could only let out a "woo...... Woo ......" sound.

Seeing this, Yu Na helped Lin Yaoxi take off the towel on her mouth, which caused Lan Lingxiang to be very dissatisfied: "Xiao Na, why are you protecting her so much, this is her own fault." ”

Lin Yaoxi, who had just gained respite, immediately shouted: "It must be my cousin who came to save me, I advise you to let me go quickly, otherwise my cousin who is strong in kung fu will let you die a miserable death." ”

"Oh! It turns out that your cousin is among the thieves who broke into the village, and the cousin of the female thief must not be a good thing. Lan Lingxiang clasped his hands and sneered coldly, "I will definitely let your cousin educate you well, so that you, a thief girl, will not have the idea of beating Miss Ben's treasure in the future." ”

So Lan Lingxiang decided that the Seven Artifact Expedition would also follow, but seeing that everyone could not be persuaded to do so, Lester had to once again play the role of leading the way.

"Thank you so much just now!" Lin Yaoxi stuck to Youna's side on the road and whispered, "Sister, you are so nice, very similar to a sister I knew before." ”

"No thanks, that's what I'm supposed to do. Recently, there have been a lot of people who say that I look like a friend from the past, so let me ask you, do I have any other identity?"

From Youna's mouth, Lin Yaoxi heard the taste of vigilance, so she had to pout her mouth and turn her face away. I comforted myself in my heart: "She is not Sister Shen Fangli, the gentle and kind Sister Shen Fangli would never say such a thing." ”

When the group arrived at the scene, there was chaos around them, and several injured villagers came to Leicester to explain what had happened, and then they saw two men and a woman surrounded by the villagers in the position they had just been.

The tall man at the head was dressed in a pure white suit, with a magenta rose in his mouth, and his handsome face combined with his long black flowing hair, which made people can't help but doubt his true gender.

Next to the man in the suit is a glasses lady wearing a spell school uniform, judging from her age, she should have graduated from the academy a long time ago, she has short hair on her forehead, and her serious eyes show a neutral temperament, if she and the long-haired man's gender are reversed, this picture is more harmonious, and the job of using a spell ball to disarm the villagers is not suitable for her at all.

When a few villagers broke through the defense and rushed over, the sword-wielding boy would use his physical skills to subdue the villagers, inevitably injuring the villagers, his sword could not be unsheathed at will, the young man was about the same age as Lin Yaoxi, and his and Lin Yaoxi's clothing was really in line with the appearance of an adventure traveler.

"Don't embarrass us, you guys! you really deserve it!" The tall man spit out the roses on his mouth to the ground, and moved the eyes of the fallen villagers to Lin Yaoxi, "My good cousin, let you not wait for us, it's good now, you were caught by the bad guys!"

Lin Yaoxi turned her face away and snorted coldly: "I was disgusted by a perverted narcissistic cousin like you, and the wooden-faced school concovert next to you I couldn't stand it before leaving, do you think I'm used to acting alone!"

"Then now cousin, you have a change of heart, if you cry your nose, I won't save you. The man said, pulling out a rose petal from his jacket pocket, "I'll give you five seconds to release my cousin, or you won't be able to blame me for someone seriously injured." ”

The school-dressed glasses lady and the sword-wielding boy on the side looked at each other for a while, and they both used their spiritual power to prepare to attack them.

"Wait a minute! Lan Lingxiang pointed at Lin Yaoxi excitedly and said, "If she hadn't stolen my treasure, how would we have arrested her as a thief?"

"Cousin, is what she said true?"

Lin Yaoxi said with an innocent face: "It's wronged! It was obviously this housekeeper who threw away the treasure, I happened to pass by to take the sheep by the hand, but they relied on me." ”

The sword-wielding boy couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed forward with a loud shout, and when Gui Xun'er saw this, he blocked Lin Yaoxi's side with a horizontal sword, and then with a swing of his sword, the "V" shaped blade flew out from her hilt, tracking the target like a self-sniper.

The young man swung several swords in a row, and several half-moon-shaped cyan sword qi blocked Gui Xun'er's Qixu sword blade, so that she had to lift the hilt of the sword upward, and the Qixu sword blade reformed the sword body: "I didn't expect you to make the Qinghong sword, which ranks third among the top ten famous swords, it is said that this sword is made of the world's holy stone Qingquan stone, and this sword is the best in the world." ”

"Although your Qixu Sword is not as good as the Qinghong Sword, judging from the moves just now, your cultivation is above me, and I am willing to lose. The young man smiled calmly, glancing at the school-dressed glasses girl beside him who was using a fireball spell to attack Lan Lingxiang.

I saw that the fingers of the school's glasses were put together in her right hand, condensing her spiritual power on the spell ball in her left hand, and several fireballs suddenly fell from the sky and smashed towards Lan Lingxiang, forcing her to dodge with her lame winged steps, and the sparks that could bounce off the ground still made her clothes scorched a little.

In desperation, Lan Lingxiang used the phantom body method to confuse the school glasses girl with several fake bodies, but the other party didn't eat her at all, and used Su Yanduel to seal the phantom she used, and then attacked the real body with a lightning blade in a straight line.

At the last moment, Lan Lingxiang unleashed a series of attacks from the Heavenly Cry, and the light bullets from the Heavenly Cry Mana Gun bounced and copied in the enchantment she created, shooting at the school glasses girl in all directions without dead ends.

But unbelievably unscathed, the school glasses lady was unharmed, and Lan Lingxiang took a closer look only to find that the dense rose petals wrapped the school glasses girl, blocking all her light bullets.

"Miss, watch out behind you!"

Under Ling Wenxuan's loud reminder, Lan Lingxiang turned her head suddenly, only to see that the man in the suit appeared behind her at some point, and the hand pulling the bowstring had already been released.

When Lan Lingxiang reacted, Ling Wenxuan had already appeared between her and the man in the suit, holding a thorny red rose in his hand, the spike had pierced his right hand, and blood slowly flowed down his palm.

"It is worthy of the hero of the Divine Realm incident four years ago - Ling Wenxuan, I knew that you could stop my 'heart-grabbing splendor'. The man in the suit snapped his bow back over his shoulders and shrugged his shoulders in relief.

Ling Wenxuan, who heard his name from the mouth of the man in the suit, was shocked, and even forgot the pain in his right hand: "How do you know me? Who are you?"

The man in the suit didn't answer, and smiled mysteriously: "Do you remember Moyi, a classmate who asked you for help back then?"

"Of course I remember, are you ......" Ling Wenxuan pointed to the man in the suit and was excited.

"I'm her senior, Song Zixi!" the man in the suit winked at the glasses lady in the school uniform, "Shao Yan's Purple Mist Spell Academy's school uniform has not been able to evoke your memory, you are really dull." ”

"I remember, Mo Yi was also wearing this style of school uniform back then" Ling Wenxuan patted his head and smiled apologetically at the puzzled crowd, "A misunderstanding, they are my friend's acquaintances, not some thieves!"

Under Ling Wenxuan's signal, everyone put away their weapons, and he even suggested that Song Zixi go to Leicester's store with him to talk.

Seeing that Ling Wenxuan was so happy that he seemed to have forgotten something, Lan Lingxiang couldn't help but remind: "Hey, your hand is still bleeding! Don't you need to bandage it?"

Ling Wenxuan reacted immediately, covered his hands and shouted: "Wow! It's hurting me! Xun'er, quickly bandage the teacher!"

Gui Xun'er shook her head helplessly, and repeated Song Zixi's words again: "You! ”

When she walked towards Ling Wenxuan, Gui Xun'er turned her head to look at Lin Yaoxi beside her, and suddenly realized that Lin Yaoxi's expression when she peeked at Youna was very similar to someone they had met.
