Chapter 5: Arrogance
The fire continued to burn, and bright colors filled the cold room, and the red flames kept beating, and everything in the room trembled with the beating of the flames.
Stoves made of clay are extremely fire-resistant, and even if they are lit inside a large tree to heat the fire, they will never cause a fire. The lit firewood made a crackling sound, Zhou Heng enjoyed the fiery wave aroused by the flames, and the fur of the beast had excellent heat retention, so that the warmth of that ** stayed on the skin.
On top of the stove is a stand with a pot-shaped stone on it, on which a large amount of boiling water is held, and in the boiling water tumbles an extremely attractive piece of bright red meat, and the rich aroma of meat continues to emanate from the stone pot.
After doing the necessary exercises every day, Zhou Heng took out a wooden bowl that can be called ugly from under the bed, scooped a bowl of broth and drank it, this piece of cured meat has been salted for a long time, and it weighs three catties, stewed in the pot to release all the essence of precipitation, salty and greasy is very delicious, a mouthful of broth and a mouthful of meat is even more refreshing, this world, for contented people, is so beautiful.
Opening the window a little and breathing in the air that can instantly freeze drops of water into ice droplets, Zhou Heng half-squinted, and only said a sentence after a while: "The snow has stopped, but the night is also deep." ”
As far as the eye can see, there is a dark and dense forest, the night has existed for a long time, and the trees in the forest are also the trees, and the branches and leaves of the huge trees can block out the moonlight, and the whole world is only dark.
Zhou Heng went out, he went to another place to move his wood, now is the only chance, once it snows again, Zhou Heng doesn't know when he will stop again.
Wen Yu gasped, his injury had reached an unprecedented height today, maybe it was because he drank too much wine, maybe it was the joy and sorrow when he was drinking with Huang Yaojie, in short, it was very bad for his health, especially his ** who was about to die. Death was not far from him, and Wen Yu could even smell the stench of rotting corpses in his body.
However, Wen Yu's mood is extremely good, there is no longer any concern in his heart, Wen Yu has been running for his life for several months, and he has been dying for his daughter, but at that time, after several big people gave the killing order, whether it was the king of a certain country with strong military power or several other rich businessmen who had received Wen Yu's favor, they were unwilling to have anything to do with Wen Yu.
Wen Yu didn't force too much, he provoked the characters, and basically no one in the world could afford to provoke them.
For months, Wen Yu has been looking for a friend who can bless his baby daughter, but it has brought countless disappointments.
"I must let Wenqing live well." For this obsession, Wen Yu miraculously survived in the hands of countless strong people, and Wen Yu did not give up hope under any circumstances. However, there is no need now, Huang Yaojie is definitely trustworthy, and he is strong enough, even in the plane node where there are many strong people, Huang Yaojie is also a strong person who can rank in the top five, and no one in the entire human team is his opponent except for the 'step' who has long been hidden, even if Wen Yu meets Huang Yaojie, he can only walk around.
"'Ji' this man doesn't like to talk, and he never tells us what he's thinking, except for his strength, he is the first one of us to see the 'source', and I really don't know anything about him. We were the first to leave when we succeeded, hehe, what a weirdo, but that's exactly what it is...... Hehe, I think what he is doing, maybe no one can threaten Huang Yaojie's existence except him, and Huang Yaojie is alive, and my daughter is alive. Wen Yu was thinking wildly, maybe it was the obsession before death, or maybe it was still struggling for the hope of survival in the end, Wen Yu felt that his mind had never been so active, and the chaotic and chaotic thoughts kept coming out and then disappearing, but these chaotic and noisy thoughts could not affect Wen Yu's mood at all, he was very excited, and felt that the blood that had been cold for a long time began to boil slowly, and there was an over-electric sense of stimulation in his whole body, so that Wen Yu, the great magic guide, had an epileptic convulsive reaction.
How long has I forgotten, this kind of youthful enthusiasm that looks at death as if it were home, and Wen Yu feels extremely excited. It's a pleasure to be fanatical before you die. Since you're here, let's be more miserable.
Wen Yu is waiting, waiting for the hunter who wants to kill himself, he is waiting for a feast, he wants to use his life to compose a song of brilliance, so that the entire brilliance will not stop circulating in the seven continents, so that those bards who can only blow have a new chapter, the great magic guide of a certain great country was declared a rebel by the Pope because he violated the taboo, the great magic guide killed countless people in order to keep his position, and the original noble great magic guide has degenerated into a demon. Under the guidance of the brilliance of God and the impact of countless heroes and soldiers, evil was finally defeated by justice. The Great Wizard finally released a forbidden spell that was enough to destroy a country, and then was killed by the brave and fearless hero, which is really blessed by the gods.
Of course, this is just an outline, which also needs to polish and process the plot of the story, the hero must be strong, kind, brave, handsome and handsome, the great wizard must be evil and obscene, timid as a mouse, even if the great wizard is a hundred times stronger than the hero, in the end, under the protection of God and justice, the great and brave hero will still kill the great magician and then marry a noble beauty or even the king's princess by the way, maybe he can become the king of a certain country or something.
Meritorious service, blessed by the gods, famous all over the world, and beautiful women in their arms, these elements that can make young people's blood boil must be added. In this way, there will be a selling point, so that people will like to read it, and the stories of the bards will be paid for.
Then everything is over, after the death of the Great Demon Guide, no one will pay attention to his daughter, and even if someone pays attention, they will not provoke Huang Yaojie, not to mention, Huang Yaojie's residence has never been secret.
When those so-called heroes show off their heads with their heads, perhaps, Wen Qing will live very well. Wen Yu's eyes darkened, extremely fast, Wen Yu's eyes sharpened again, and he felt the approaching hunters, the feast, began. Wen Yu stood up, his sloppy eyes began to emit a sharp light, since he was destined to die, then he would have an indulgence, let the death come vigorously, and let the whole life shine again, even if the price of this gamble was life.
Wen Yu felt the power, when all the power was no longer suppressed, when the soul began to contact the place of the 'source', Wen Yu felt the breath of life, and all the restraints no longer existed.
"The 'source' is a wonderful power, and your 'source' is called liberation." Wen Yu suddenly remembered what "Ji" had said to him at the beginning, and knew that now, he realized that it turned out that he had not understood his deepest strength.
The gray light slowly diffused from Wen Yu's body, and the power that was far more powerful than the ancient dragon began to spread. At this moment, within a radius of a hundred miles, everyone could feel the aura of danger.
"Do you feel it? Bishop Edwin. ”
A middle-aged knight wrapped in bright armor had a solemn face, and the murderous aura coming from the opposite side made him tremble, and it was the first time in his life that he felt such a murderous aura, so powerful that it was desperate.
"It seems that the Great Demon Guide on the other side has begun to get tired of running away."
"Do we still have to move forward? I don't think we're rivals......"
"Yes, then we just need to attack until the death of the Most High......"
"And our soldiers?"
"It can only be so, to kill the Great Demon Guide, you must use human life to pile it up until he is exhausted. Even if these 150,000 people are all dead, as long as they can kill the Great Demon Guide, they will not lose anything. ”
"Understood."
"All obey orders, beat drums, and march." The army stretched for miles like an ant colony towards the surprisingly murderous place.
Inside a castle in the far distance. A scantily clad and beautiful royal sister smiled and stroked a pitch-black cat in her hand, while behind her, kneeling a man wrapped in a black robe.
"Your Excellency, the Third Knights are all killed. The body of the Chief Judge has been accepted by the General Assembly, and now that the elite strength of the Judgment Team has almost been wiped out, our personnel have basically taken over the rights of the Judgment Team. ”
"Huh." The princess stroked the black cat in her hand, and a rare smile appeared on her face.
"It seems that Wen Yu didn't disappoint me. It's not my sister's lover. The princess was about to stand up, but her body suddenly trembled, and her beautiful head suddenly turned to look into the distance.
"Your Excellency."
"Gee, looks like we've got a chance? Little Amy, this murderous aura, this kind of rage, is really arrogant and supreme, far more arrogant than me, but I like it. Smiling slightly, Wang Nu happily looked at the amazing momentum in the distance.
"Tell me to go down and ask the presiding judge and the presiding judge to take the head of the Great Demon Guide, the blood of the Great Demon Guide must be delicious." The princess smiled, but her pink tongue gently crossed her lips, leaving seductive stains.
In the midst of a huge palace.
"Do you feel it?"
"It's Wen Yu, it seems that he can't help it......"
"I didn't expect that in the end we would get to this point, is that what it feels like to be sad? After all, we were once comrades-in-arms who fought side by side. ”
"When the interests straddle the friendship, you will understand how fragile the so-called feelings are, now, either he dies or I die, there is no choice, I know that the Black Star Squad has arrived in the Forbidden Forest, pass the order, at all costs, let them take Wen Yu's head before the other armies kill him."
"Yes, Pope."
The Pope narrowed his eyes, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and now that he openly attacked Wen Yu, he didn't know how Huang Yaojie, who didn't like power, and "Ji", who had long since gone into hiding, would deal with him. However, since it has been done, it cannot be regretted. Since Wen Yu dared to rob him of his interests, naturally he would not let him go.
"Has the torrent of time begun to flow again? Wen Yu, you will become a sacrifice of time. ”
Meanwhile.
The boss trembled, it had been a long time, he had not felt fear for a long time, but at this moment, he couldn't help but not be afraid, because his fear did not come from anything that could be known, his fear came from the coercion of the superior life on the lower life, the boss felt that the life in the distance was compared with his own life level, and if the other party was a human, he was not even as good as a paramecium. On the other side, what a powerful existence.
"Are you afraid?" The armored man looked at the boss, he was also trembling slightly, the courage runes engraved on the armor and the three-system blessing magic array can weaken any mental magic to a pitiful level, but now the magic array on the armor seems to have disappeared, the armored man still feels fear, unbearable fear, as if he will die in the next second.
"Terrible, really terrible, I've seen dragons, dragons are the most powerful beings I've ever seen, but compared to him, the dragon power of an adult dragon is as weak as a slug."
"But we have to move forward." The armored man did not hesitate in the slightest, as if the head of the Great Demon Guide had already reached his hand.
"Why, do you think that your head is like those little dolls who have been seduced by knightly novels, and really think that you can defeat all the difficulties in front of you by boring justice and benevolence." The boss sneered, when he reached middle age, he had already seen all the realities around him, what justice and love, what was for God, it was just a cheap joke to fool others, and this cheap joke was still very popular, and the flickering middle two young people kept looking for death, the boss was also like this at the beginning, otherwise there would not be such a body now, a body that makes the boss miserable all his life.
"No, I want the praying mantis to catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind, I don't believe that only we can feel such a powerful power, we can wait, as long as we wait for the support of other people, or let other strong people fight, and wait until they and the Great Demon Guide are both defeated, we can ......"
"I'll only send you two words, hehe......" The boss still sneered, turned around and left.
After the boss left, the female killer slowly walked out, and the slender Danfeng looked at the armored man, her eyes full of smiles.
"Am I wrong?" The armored man didn't understand why the experienced old mercenary would laugh at him so much, although his plan was not good, but it was not bad.
"Little young master, your thinking is inevitably too simple, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, haha, who do you really think you are, is it the son of God or the supreme one, let me tell you, we are all chess pieces, whether it is the strong men who go to kill the Great Demon Guide or the temporary mercenary team like us, they are just insignificant chess pieces, and the real masterminds behind the scenes can only be those supreme ones at the same level as the Great Demon Guide."
The female killer looked at the armored man in front of her with pity, and taught in the tone of a teacher: "What are you, what do you think you can grab with your identity, even if you really kill the Great Demon Guide, all the benefits of the Great Demon Guide's death will be divided up by those supreme ones, you can only eat the residue they threw from between your teeth, and sometimes you won't even leave a residue, after all, with your strength, ......"
The world has always spoken with power.
"It's difficult, can't we get anything if we work hard?" The armored man asked incredulously.
"Yes, you killed the Great Demon Guide, isn't the name of the Demon Slayer Hero yours?" The female killer smiled and continued: "You don't want to get anything else, no matter how good you are, as long as you carry it. The scenery is not enough, the strength is not strong, you are just working for others after all. ”
"So, whoever kills the Great Demon Guide doesn't have much benefit, for those who are high up and above after killing the Great Demon Guide, they can only share some benefits after they eat our low-level people, if he needs to, he can even kick you away with a kick that doesn't care at all, even if you really kill the Great Demon Guide, after all, if you dare to rob them of their credit, it won't be much more difficult for them to pinch you to death than to pinch an ant to death."
The armored man's face turned pale, and the female killer seemed to find it amused, and continued: "Don't think that this world is fair, even those who so-called overthrow riots for the sake of democracy. Is there fairness between the political guys? After success, the greatest benefits continue to be divided among those in power, and the soldiers who really work hard get only a pittance of money. So, don't believe that there is fairness in this world, and don't believe that the so-called justice will prevail, child, you grow up a lot. ”
The armored man squirmed his lips, but he didn't say a word, he needed to calm down, he wanted to climb to the sky by killing the Great Demon Guide, but he didn't expect that even if he killed the Great Demon Guide, he would not have the right to divide it.
The armored man arrived at the cliff, feeling the hustle and bustle of the cold wind, he was very cold, but his heart was even colder, the structure of the world was very rigorous, and the rigor was terrifying, especially in the human race, a group of strict classes, it is impossible for powerless people to reach the peak of power without long-term efforts, and this long time may require the efforts of three generations, the foundation must be accumulated by time, without long-term savings, whether it is a single or a collective, it is very easy to die in various difficulties, and the armored man is weak. Although the family power is strong, he is just a small person, can he really get any benefit from killing the great magician? Or, he will attract the jealousy of some people.
"Are you sad?" The boss walked out of the dense forest, the armored man stayed on the cliff for a long time, the time was close to dusk, the boss saw that there was no one in the camp to look for it, and he groped to find the armored man, but after finding it, he found that the armored man was looking at the distant clouds in the distance with sad eyes.
"Ah, I'm wondering, am I really an insignificant being?" The armored man's tone was low, and his original ambitions turned into bitter water.
"It depends on how it compares, let me ask first, how old are you this year." The boss sat next to the armored man, and for some reason, looked at the lost and sad armored man. The boss suddenly remembered himself when he was younger.
“18。” The armored man replied nonchalantly.
"So what are you worried about? I can see that you are now a high-ranking knight, and at your current age, you are one of the few geniuses even in the entire Southern Continent. ”
"But I don't accept it, I want to stand at the top of the world, watch the flies and dogs crawl at my feet, and let the world praise my name, I am not willing to be an ordinary person." The armored man's eyes were full of longing and longing.
"Hehe, you expected too much, do you know what Helan and I are doing at your age?"
"I was a farmer's child, and when I was a child, I had the same idea of creating a career as you, but after I went out and experienced some things, I realized that I had to work hard to get a bite to eat.
"And Helan, he has lived on the eastern border against the barbarians since he was a child, and his class is light infantry as cannon fodder, and this life lasted for more than ten years until he met me." The boss's tone was a little emotional, Helan had lived with him for so long, and he had long regarded Helan as his own brother.
"As for you, I can smell that you don't have the sour smell of those of us who beg for life, and you remember the etiquette of the nobility very thoroughly, and even have expensive magic props on you, and this magic armor on your body alone may be able to make all the farmers in a small country live comfortably for a lifetime. When we are struggling to eat enough, you are probably still soaking girls, when we are desperate for an insignificant life, you are still eating the most delicious food, you still sigh why life is so boring, your life is too superior to us, what else can you not be satisfied. ”
"How can I be like you, I'm ......" The armored man suddenly stopped talking and looked at the boss vigilantly.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in who you are, and you don't have to be hostile to me."
"I'm sorry, I can't believe you as someone who also targets the Great Wizard." Interests, everyone wants to share more, and the armored man can't trust the boss wholeheartedly no matter what.
"Do you really think I'm here to kill the Great Wizard?" The boss stroked his forehead and said helplessly.
"Aren't you here to kill the Great Wizard?" The armored man sneered, it was all at this time, and the man in front of him actually wanted to deceive himself, and sure enough, no one could trust him except himself.
"I know better than anyone how an ant would challenge the authority of a dragon. What's more, killing the Great Demon Guide won't do me any good, on the contrary, the title of Demon Slayer Hero will only drag me down. ”
"What do you mean?"
"The Great Demon Guide is difficult to kill, but the Demon Slayer Hero is not necessarily difficult to kill, and reputation is a very delicate thing." The Boss sighed.
The armored man is not an idiot, he understands the boss's concerns, and there is no tough post. Taihe has strong strength, and if he has too much wealth, he is looking for death, and compared to the armored man, the boss is even less qualified for the title of "Demon Slayer Hero".
"And why are you?"
"Don't worry, I'm just here to find someone, as for killing the Great Demon Guide, it has never been my goal, I'm already old, and I don't have the strength to fight for anything more. What power is in the world, the rich world is just floating clouds. "The boss is really old, and he has experienced too many people, except for those few who are not less proud, and the rest of the people have been consumed by the world too much fighting spirit and blood. Spending his old age in peace, no disease and no disaster is the life principle of the boss.
"Hehe, I still don't believe you, but I believe in your words, you are indeed not qualified to get involved in the Great Demon Guide, and so am I, this God, why don't you give me a way to live." The armored man suddenly sighed.
"Actually, we're all supporting characters in other people's lives, would you like to hear my story?" The boss was also emotional, full of vicissitudes on his face.
"Let's talk about it, it's boring anyway." The armored man moved his body, ready to listen to the story of the vicissitudes of life in front of him, his story must be interesting.
