The shadow owl chased after him, but saw that the figure disappeared in a flash.

He certainly didn't lose anyone at his speed, but as he continued to chase behind the tree, he heard a sound of leaves overhead—the man had taken advantage of the brief gap to climb up the tree, and his figure was hidden in the leaves.

Shadowowl stood under the tree, his eyes slightly closed, catching the subtle sounds of the leaves with only his hearing.

Suddenly, his face turned pale, and two slender throwing knives burst out of his sleeves and shot straight into the air, piercing into the luxuriant growth of the leaves with two clear sounds.

The next second, a man fell from the canopy.

A small man with sharp-beaked monkey gills and protruding front teeth sat on the ground, with two throwing knives stuck in his legs, muttering in his mouth. There was no doubt that this man was the one who had just passed in front of his eyes.

"You're already the fourth wave of the month...... No, it's July...... Add in last month, and you're already in the fourth wave. "Why are you staring at Miss Eliza?" What is your purpose? ”

The little man muttered a few words, and suddenly whistled. From the leaves above him, three more companions jumped, and the four of them attacked the Shadowowl together.

"Alas......" the Shadow Owl sighed helplessly, "Who gave you confidence?" ”

Including the little man at the beginning, the four original people were all dressed very ordinary, the kind of passers-by who were thrown in the crowd without any sense of disobedience. Each of them is armed with machetes, sticks, knives and other street weapons, and from the movement it seems that they are well-trained thugs. Such people are not uncommon in the empire, after all, the general level of education of the original people is low, and the law does not protect them very much, so if something goes wrong, everyone does not like to solve it through legal means, but whose fist is the one who listens to whom. In this environment, a group of thugs who specialize in solving problems for the original people have been created. Even boxing champion Lei Wei will help others fight and earn some hard-earned money when he is in a tight situation.

Straight to the point.

Judging from the actions of these four people, it is obvious that they are old teammates who have been running in for a long time. The attack is ruthless and experienced, the knives are all aimed at the vital point, and the kind that is not afraid of killing people when the stick is swinged. Unfortunately, they found the wrong opponent.

The Shadow Owl is a ruthless hand that even the Winged Man can shoot down from the sky, and this kind of attack is like nothing to him. He stood where he was, without moving half a step on his feet, before he snatched their weapons with a movement that the four of them could not see clearly, raised his hand and threw them into the bushes to the side.

"You're not going to say yes, are you?" The Shadow Owl circled behind one of the primordials who pounced on him, and stuned him with a sharp knife.

Seeing his companion rushing into the street, the other three were about to flee. The three of them turned in three different directions, apparently to make the other two run away from the other two while the Shadow Owl chased one of them. And the plan fell through without surprise - two of them had no time to take a step before their eyes darkened, and they collapsed to the ground like rag pockets.

In the end, there was only one person left, standing in despair and not even daring to run. This man was the same small man with the sharp-beaked monkey gills I had seen at the beginning.

Like a cat and mouse, the Shadow Owl easily and happily reached out and grabbed the man's right hand, twisted and twisted, and the man's hand was already behind him, and the whole person turned his back to the Shadow Owl. With the strength and skill of the shadow owl, he can easily make the opponent's pain pass value reach the limit with a little strength, and then twist it slightly, and it will become a severe pain that ordinary people can't bear.

Large beads of sweat fell from the attacker's forehead, and his expression was distorted by pain. There were words on his lips, but as the pain intensified, his voice grew louder and louder. Shadow Owl listened carefully, and the original man seemed to keep repeating a sentence - "The world belongs to humans." ”

"The world belongs to human beings...... The world belongs to human ......"

"What, what is this? Did the ladies mention any cults? Shadow Owl was puzzled, "I asked who sent you?" What is the purpose? ”

"The world belongs to human beings...... The world belongs to human ......"

"Speak human words!" Shadowlord has almost lost his patience. I put a little more force on my hand, and twisted it a little more painfully.

"Gash

At this time, it was close to the end of school. The Imperial Conservatory of Music is an aristocratic school, and a number of servants, chauffeurs, and retinues who come to pick up their masters gradually gather at the door. The subdued primitives wailed loudly, their voice was piercing, and the shadow lord was afraid that he would cause unnecessary trouble, so he grabbed him to his chest with his right hand, and covered his mouth with his left hand.

Then the bitter cry of pain turned into an almost inaudible whimper.

The shadow owl leaned into the man's ear, lowered his voice and said, "I'm in a hurry to pick someone up." If you don't, don't blame me for being rude. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a faint 'pop', like the sound of a small object breaking like a button or a stone. The person who was still struggling in his hands just now was like an electric doll that was suddenly turned off the switch, and suddenly collapsed.

Shadow Owl let go of his hand in surprise, and the small, sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked primitive man turned his back to him and fell straight to the ground.

The man fell to the ground motionless, not even the slightest twitch. The Shadow Owl turned him over and found that he was foaming at the mouth, his eyes bulging up, and he had stopped breathing.

"Dead?" Shadowlord sighed under his breath.

Pinched his mouth open, and saw that a molar had been crushed in the back row of his lower teeth.

"Is it possible that poison is hidden in the teeth, and if you can't stand the torture, you will die? How can the current cult ......" The Shadow Owl muttered to himself, suddenly gasping for air, "Poison? This is not common sense...... How do I have this memory? Who's ...... Did you teach me this? For a moment, he suddenly felt a sense of fear at the loss of memories, "I used to ...... Who the hell is it? ”

- How did I lose my memory?

INTERVIEWER What kind of environment did I live in before I was trafficked?

…………

“…… Don't think about it yet. The shadow owl shook his head, calmed down and whispered to himself, "Second Miss is about to get out of school, and it is definitely not okay to leave the corpse in this place." As he spoke, he picked up the corpse, and by the way, picked up one of the original people who had been knocked unconscious, walked to the bushes not far away, and threw it in. Then he turned back, picked up the other two unconscious primordials one by one and threw them into the bushes.

After doing these things, he breathed a sigh of relief: "With the strength just now, the unconscious person will not wake up tonight." Tomorrow is a holiday, and by the time someone finds out, we'll probably be on the plane. ”

Thinking of this, his emotions had calmed down a lot, so he raised his feet and ran towards the school gate.

Today is the last day before the holiday. Most of the students went home after the exams, and the only students who remained in school on this day were those who had to do the project during the holidays and did not plan to go home at all. Because of this, even Eliza's support club has shrunk a lot, and this time only three or five people followed her to the school gate, and they quickly dispersed, leaving only her most loyal fan, Miria, chatting intermittently about some and nothing.

"The person who picked me up has arrived." Miria pointed to a silver SUV not far away.

"Then you can go." Eliza laughed, "The guy who picked me up has arrived, too." ”

"Huh? Where is it? Miria looked around. She knew a few private cars commonly used by the Great Divine Mansion, but none of them were parked at the school gate.

"It's around here. When you go, he comes out. ”

"What! Mysterious! Miria pouted dissatisfiedly, "Is this kind of person reliable?" Can I keep you safe? ”

"Of course, he's an expert in combat."

"Yes...... Is it? Hearing this, Miria tilted her head slightly, and suddenly sighed as if she remembered something, "Then it must be my sister who chooses the guard for you!" Warriors of the Radiant Wings!? ”

Because she is a fan, Eliza's family members Miria have inquired in detail. The Grand Priest is a public figure, and the composition of her family is nothing to hide, so she naturally knows about Aurelia's work and affectionately calls her "Sister-sama". Combined with the information revealed by Eliza, Miria quickly reacted: "The person who picked you up is the elite of the Guards Legion, right?" Yes...... How I didn't think of it before! His Majesty the Emperor's personal guards are sent to pick you up and go to school, this kind of thing must not be publicized, right? ”

"No......" Eliza smiled awkwardly.

"That's it! That's it! Miria insisted on holding her hands, "Hey, let me see her, okay?" I heard that the little brothers of the Guards Regiment are all handsome! And he is careful and considerate, able to write and martial arts...... If you can sign one as an acolyte, it will be super face-saving! Tell me about it...... We can go to a remote place and let him come out so that no one else can see him......"

"It's not what you think." Seeing that Miria had completely fallen into her own fantasy, Eliza said embarrassedly, "He is really not the ...... of the Guards Legion" Before she finished speaking, she saw that the other party's eyes had changed from excitement and excitement to a pitiful look in an instant. If she had a tail, she would be wagging it around pleadingly.

"Alas......" Eliza sighed. With Milia as she is now, if she doesn't agree, I'm afraid she won't be able to leave today, "Okay, then I'll call him out." But you have to keep it a secret for me, and don't tell anyone what he looks like. ”

"Don't worry!" Here swore solemnly, "I will never say it!" ”

The two of them then went under the fence outside the school gate.

"Shadow Lord, come out." Eliza said in a small voice.

The two girls only felt that the figure in front of them flashed, and the black-haired young man who came from unknown direction was already standing in front of them.

"Second Miss." The Shadow Owl respectfully greeted her master, and took her bag and suitcase with ease.

"Original...... Primitive!? Miria was startled and looked at Eliza in shock, "How can the Guards have a primordial!?" Eliza, are you sure it's ...... Is that the person? ”

The second young lady glanced at her helplessly: "I have said that I am not from the Guards Legion...... He is my servant. ”

"Servants!?" Miria looked the Shadow Stalker up and down with wary eyes, then suddenly pointed to the self-detonation collar around his neck and asked, "Why is he wearing this thing?" That's, that's not ......" At this point, she lowered her voice and leaned into Eliza's ear and asked, "Isn't that a self-detonation device?" Isn't it usually only worn by prisoners? ”

"Alas......" Eliza felt faintly regretful in her heart, "that's a long story, it's not as ...... as you think."

Miria tugged at her arm, her voice lowered, her eyes still glancing over to the Shadowlord, as if he would hear it, "Hey, I've heard from my mother that it's not safe to use the original servants right now. When I was 17 years old, my mother sold the servants she had bought for me as a child. Do you know? Recently, there have been several incidents of servants attacking their masters in Lingxiao City. It's all because of trivial things—not paying wages on time, poor living conditions, or punishing servants a little heavily. The current original people are all glass-hearted, and they are no longer the loyal and willing to be born and die for their masters used by our parents' generation! Didn't you read what it was written on the news yesterday, in a civil servant family in the West District, the servants at home stabbed his young master more than a dozen times! There was blood everywhere at the scene of the murder, and it scared people to death! ”

Miria thought her voice was soft, but she still heard her words verbatim.

The black-haired young man still maintained a blank poker face, as if those words had nothing to do with him.

"Miria ......" Eliza gently pushed away the girl beside her, with a determined gaze in her eyes, "This is not a world where only winged people exist. ”

"Huh?"

"Do you like the New Wings?" The subject suddenly changed.

Is this anything else to say? If it weren't for liking the New Wings, how could Miria become friends with Eliza?

The girl said almost as soon as the words fell: "Of course I like it!" ”

"I'll leave tomorrow with the band to the kingdom of Blaze." She looked at Miria, "The New Wing Band will debut in the Blaze Kingdom, not the Qingyun Empire." Because only there is a place where winged humans and humans can coexist on an equal footing. ”

"What!?" Miria couldn't believe her ears, "Why are you ......"

"Because the world we live in is not a world where only winged people exist." Eliza didn't wait for her to finish asking, and said to herself, "Seventy years ago, the Winged people threw the battle flag to the United Alliance of Humans in order to gain their own territory. Countless lives were lost in that war to create today's empire. But if you look at the world today, the original people of the empire live like livestock, and the winged people of the alliance are kept in captivity like animals. Is this still a normal world? Aren't we all human? When you are happy, you laugh, when you are sad, you cry, you bleed red, and you breathe the same air. ”

"It's different, Eliza, it's different!" Miria grabbed her arm suddenly, "We are all Origin Wingers, let alone Primordials, even the Daybreaker Wingers can't compare to us!" ”

"Miria ......" said the singer with a sad look in her eyes, "equality is the foundation of peace. Why don't you understand this? ”

“…… I don't understand......" Miria snorted, "isn't that what society is like?" Where there are people, there is competition, competition is divided into winners and losers, and where there are winners and losers, there can be no equality. Humanity has lost to us before, and they are in a situation where they are today at their own peril. What kind of equality is the side that has already lost but wants to be on an equal footing with the side that wins? ”

Eliza shook her head, unwilling to answer again.

"You must not go astray...... Miria told worriedly.

Eliza patted her on the shoulder, "No. I am the daughter of the High Priest, and the gods will guide me. ”

Miria's eyes were filled with adoration again: "Eliza......"

"So, I'm really leaving." Eliza said lightly, "See you at the beginning of the next semester." ”

"Hmm!" Miria nodded busily, "By the way, if your new album is released, be sure to be the first to tell me!" I'll definitely go buy a hundred copies...... No, a thousand copies to support the new wing! ”

"yes, I see." Eliza narrowed her eyes and smiled as warm as the sun, "But New Wing has never pursued sales. If you like our songs, that's the biggest reward. ”

With that, she nodded to the Shadow Owl and said, "Let's go back." ”

"Okay."
