Chapter 14: The Aftermath!
"Quest reward unknown."
"Does the host accept it?"
Chu Lie's footsteps paused, and then he walked towards the small alley on the side without hesitation, and just stepped into the somewhat narrow and cramped alley, the quiet voice fell gently in the bottom of his heart.
"Accept the task."
The silver-gray light emerged from the void, and then quickly entangled under Chu Lie's feet, the left foot of the demon hunter fell, and the entire magic circle was just outlined, and the two lines of runes representing the world and space rotated in reverse, and the next moment, Chu Lie's figure had been lost in place.
Aethos' Mage Tower, top floor.
An old man who was so old that he seemed to be decaying for time slowly opened his eyes, his cloudy pupils seemed to reflect the birth and death of the whole world, and in the depths of his pupils, a wisp of clarity belonging to human beings flashed.
"Spatial fluctuations? Not ......"
"It's a little deeper...... This breath? Ah Tian? No, Ah Tian is gone, is it the stigma he left behind? Paladin......"
"Forget it, paladin's words, trustworthy ......"
A slight fluctuation flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to his original ancient and modern waves, slowly closing, and at the moment when the old man's gaze closed, the top floor of the entire mage tower seemed to dim in an instant, and the whole room was dead silent, only the sound of subtle and long breathing, which sounded from time to time.
……………………
Rustle rustle......
A light rain shrouded this remote village, and Chu Lie, dressed in a black and red suit, slowly stepped in, looking at it, the originally scattered villages were now like they had suffered a natural disaster, and there were shattered earth everywhere, as well as houses and farmland that had been completely erased.
Step –
Standing outside the familiar courtyard in his memory, Chu Lie pursed his lips, his eyes were slightly dark, his right hand was slowly raised, paused, and gently patted on the wooden door.
Bang Bang Bang ~
Squeak –
It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time, but after a few breaths, the wooden door was gently opened with a creak, but it was not the old man with a kind smile who opened the door, but a middle-aged man with a tall and strong body and a cold and hard face, and his body was filled with a murderous aura that ordinary people did not have.
"Six doors?" A blade-like cold gaze swept over Chu Lie's strong suit, and a dry and hard voice fell.
"But that's Chu Lie."
"It's me."
Chu Lie bowed his head slightly, but the next moment before he could say what he wanted, a huge fist pierced the rain curtain fiercely and smashed down towards Chu Lie, killing awe-inspiring, giving people the feeling that it was almost not a meat fist, but a spear suddenly stabbed out by a hundred battle elite soldiers.
If you don't drink all the blood of the enemy, kill the enemy chieftain, and swear not to return!
Rumble!!!
The air wave suddenly swept in all directions, and the rain curtain within a radius of three meters between the two of them all collapsed, forming a momentary vacuum, Chu Lie's palm was buckled upside down in front of his chest, and between his five fingers, the middle-aged man's fist was firmly clasped.
There was a calm look in his eyes.
"Humph!"
Chu Lie's five fingers loosened, the middle-aged man snorted coldly, withdrew his fist, turned around and walked towards the inner room, although his voice was dry and hard, but it was obviously softer.
“…… The strength is not bad, come in. ”
"My dad has something to tell you."
"Disturb."
With a slight bow, Chu Lie followed the man into the house, there was only a bean lamp in the room, and the old man who outlined the world with a sword with a mortal body was lying on the chaise longue, squinting at a book in his hand.
"Dad, he's coming."
The middle-aged man pushed the door in, frowned slightly, snatched the book from the old man's hand, and quietly pulled up the blanket that slipped off the old man's knees with his hands, and spread it smoothly.
"When you're older, don't read so late...... You don't have a cultivation in your body, and you hurt your body. ”
"Hehehe~ Okay, good."
Laughing lightly, the old man let his son put the book in his hand into the cabinet, smiled and looked at Chu Lie, who was standing silently and solemnly, his eyes lit up slightly.
"Nice, nice~"
Whispered admiration.
The old man gently stroked the white beard under his chin, and said with emotion: "The inside and the outside are withdrawn, and the demons in the heart are gone, what Xiao Mu was worried about at that time did not happen after all, very good!" But...... It's not good to give away the things I prepared for you this time, I'm afraid I'm going to let you run in vain. ”
"Don't dare to be."
With a slight fist clench, Chu Lie replied in a deep voice: "The juniors understand the matter a little bit, do you want the juniors to send the seniors back to the mountain gate?" ”
"Why do you need to be paid, it is incumbent on the younger generation to do this."
"Good~"
“…… Yue'er, go and take your husband's ...... Stuff to take. In the old man's voice, the middle-aged man paused, then turned around silently, and entered the inner room, just for a moment, he took out a simple and old long sword with both hands, on the scabbard, the flying dragon was entangled with the phoenix, and a flying and free air was reflected in Chu Lie's heart very clearly even if it was a few meters away.
"This is Komaki's relic...... Sitting here, returning to the ruins, this is his choice......"
Sighing softly, the old man's trembling hand gently brushed over the long sword, the long sword seemed to have a spirit, and it groaned softly, chic and more than the sharp sword sound, the old hoarse voice sang, and groaned.
"Dust to dust, soil to earth, my soul to heaven and earth, feed back to the ......"
Chu Lie pursed his lips slightly, looking at this long sword in front of him, he seemed to see the old man who drank and sang under the moonlit night again.
Happiness and enmity for 30,000 miles, how many colleagues returned back then?
I don't return.
"This is his choice, and we don't have to be cowardly, we can't settle down...... But at least let his long sword return to the sword mound of the Sword Listening Pavilion, my body bones are no longer good, Yue Er is acting recklessly, and the only person I can contact is you. ”
Buzz Buzz –
The palm of his hand shook, the long sword turned a corner in the old man's hand, and the hilt stretched out in the direction of Chu Lie, Chu Lie clenched his fists in silence, reached out to hold the sword, held it under the hilt, and lifted it gently, but the long sword did not move at all.
With a slightly stunned expression, Chu Lie looked up, and the old man in front of him was holding the other end of the long sword tightly, his eyes staring at him-
The right hand, which was trembling and trembling while holding the book, was as stable as cast of pig iron at this time, holding the long sword tightly, and in the dim eyes, the light of Sen Han soared, staring at Chu Lie tightly.
That's sword light!
"Chu Lie, I have a question for you."
The old man's voice became solemn.
"If anyone comes and takes the sword, you ...... When? ”
Chu Lie's eyes were lowered, the palm of the sword was as calm as iron, and his voice fell coldly.
"Defeated!"
"If the thief comes to grab the sword?"
"Kill!"
"If all the disciples of the same generation of the Sword Listening Rain Pavilion are in front of you?"
The old man's voice became more and more passionate, almost like thousands of sword blades standing in front of him, pointing directly at people's hearts, but Chu Lie's answer did not pause at all-
"Break it!"
"Hahahaha, good! Good! Good! ”
"This sword, with you!"
In the laughter, the old man's palm loosened, Chu Lie's eyes flashed, the long sword groaned softly, and the sheath crossed a trace in the air, bearing it on his back, and within the scabbard, the long sword hummed and roared.
In front of him, the old man pointed at the sword like a sword, pointing directly at the long sword behind Chu Lie's back.
On the old face, the gentleness is gone, and it is all sharp-
"With this sword, step on the !!"
PS: Some book friends have complained about the cover of this book, saying that it is simply a strange line, emmmm, I have contacted the artist, and the cover should be changed today or tomorrow, although I dare not say how good it is, but at least ...... It can be seen that it is a person (crying blind), not a strange species, I hope you are prepared~
