Long Tiantong frowned suddenly, there were obviously many vacant seats in the reading room, and this person deliberately ran to sit beside her, obviously for her.

"Why are you sitting here? Long Tiantong said unhappily.

"Uh, uh, can't you sit here?" the boy was a little embarrassed.

"There are so many seats over there, why are you squeezing here?" Long Tiantong continued to frown.

In fact, the distance between the seats in the temple's reading room is very spacious, and although the two of them are seated next to each other, they are at least half a meter apart, so they don't squeeze anyone at all.

The boy was a little slumped for a moment, not knowing how to speak, and his handsome face flushed a little.

Long Tiantong saw that the person in front of him had no intention of leaving, so he got up and left without giving face.

"Uh, wait, um, that, Long Tiantong......" The boy was a little anxious and hurriedly called Long Tiantong.

Long Tiantong, who was called by name, stopped and looked back at the boy.

The boy's face turned even redder, but seeing Long Tiantong looking at him, he had to stiffen his head and say, "That, uh...... I was just...... Knowing that your studies are good, so ...... I want to learn with you and hope to improve. ”

"Learning is your own thing, and seeing how others learn is not the same thing as how well you learn. Long Tiantong said coldly.

"Uh, yes, yes...... the boy bowed his head sadly.

Long Tiantong frowned and looked at him, and said, "The people who can enter the temple are all talented, as long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to achieve good results." ”

Long Tiantong walked away after speaking.

The boy sat there dejectedly, watching Long Tiantong walk far away to another corner of the reading room and sit down, so he could only sigh helplessly.

A girl came over with a book in her arms, sat down next to the boy, and said with a gossipy smile: "Do you say that this is incomprehensible customs, or incomprehensible amorous, or ...... Don't understand the amorous style? ”

"Hey...... I guess I just didn't like me. The boy sighed again.

"Hehehe, I don't think so...... You're so handsome......" The girl winked at the boy, but suddenly said, "But yes, she's the number one beauty of our Blackwing Clan after all! However, all the confessions of everyone were rejected, and all the hints were not understood. What the hell is going on here?"

Long Tiantong also said that she doesn't want to think about falling in love now, she just wants to concentrate on studying and cultivating. ”

"Well, yes......" The girl nodded, agreeing casually, but her eyes were fixed on the boy.

"So let's talk about it later. The boy stood up a little discouraged, put the book back on the shelf, and turned to walk out of the library.

The girl's eyes lit up and she quickly ran after the boy.

Long Tiantong spent the next few days in a busy situation, either studying or practicing martial arts.

The underground world has no day and night, and all the lighting comes from the constant glimmer of light crystals and glowing fungi, so the city is lit at all times, but there is only a dim light at all times.

The time in the city is based on the hourglass on the bell tower of the temple. The hourglass is black at one end and white at the other end, when the white side is facing up, it means that it is now "daytime", when the white end of the sand is completely drained, it means that the half day is over, and the bell tower of the temple will sound a melodious sound that can spread throughout the city;

So many people are accustomed to getting up when the hymn is playing and getting ready to rest when the harp sounds.

The public routine of the day in the city is also arranged according to this.

However, this is of little significance to Long Tiantong, because there is no difference between "night" and "day" anyway, it is better to go out to study or wander around "at night", but it is still happy and quiet.

So according to general standards, Long Tiantong should be regarded as a "night owl".

However, there is also a disadvantage of shopping on the street at night, that is, all the shops on the street are closed, and there is less fun to shop.

Long Tiantong then came directly to the temple practice room, ready to strengthen his sword skills again.

There was no one else in the practice room at night, Long Tiantong walked to one of the training dummies and stood still, raised his hand to draw the dagger, stood still, waved his arm like a cloud of water, and the sharp knife stabbed the dummy's heart neatly.

Looks like a good hit, but, that's not enough.

The martial arts of the Black Wing Clan are accustomed to using short knives and daggers, and they attach great importance to the ability to control the body. How to make every part of the body and every muscle to achieve coordination, it must be honed thousands of times to achieve the best effect.

Swing, retract, swing......

It seems to be a simple blow, but behind it is countless repeated practice, hard work and sweat, and the harvest is a sharpened and refined knife technique.

Long Tiantong practiced so intensively that she had unconsciously swung the blade thousands of times, and her will was completely integrated with the blade in her hand, and even with the surrounding environment, which was the best realm when cultivating.

Suddenly, Long Tiantong was keenly aware that someone was standing silently at the door of the practice room!

Long Tiantong turned around, a pair of sharp purple eyes swept towards the other party like a dangerous predator in the dark.

--Standing at the door was an adult woman, Long Tiantong recognized her at a glance...... One of the Black Wing Spirit Sons, Glass Marks.

Long Tiantong was a little wary in his heart, put away his knife and stood up straight, and said to the glass mark: "You also come to cultivate?"

"It's so late, you're still practicing. The glass mark seemed to be unaware of Long Tiantong's wary attitude, and greeted him with a steady mouth.

"Exercise and go back. ”

"Hmm...... I think people who always say that you are gifted and born to be a genius should really come and see more. Look at how hard you work, that's the basis for your great achievements. If you don't work hard, where will you get the rewards? Everyone should learn more like this. "Glass marks speak slowly, with a calm demeanor and the demeanor of a leader.

But the words of the glass mark are a little difficult to deal with, this is to attribute the achievements of Long Tiantong to hard work and hard practice, which is not wrong, but ...... From another point of view, it seems to be denying Long Tiantong's talent? But she also said that it should be used to motivate others to work harder, as if it should be a good thing for everyone?

Long Tiantong frowned and said, "Diligence is the foundation, but everyone also has natural talent limitations, and it is impossible to require everyone to reach the same realm." However, if you don't put in the effort, you won't even have a chance to reach the limit of talent. ”

"I'm here for you today. Glass marks cut straight to another topic.

Long Tiantong didn't answer, just waited for her later text.

"I was notified during the day today to join the crusade that will depart tomorrow, against the cave-dwelling orcs who harass our mines, led by the Ghost, and ...... You'll be with you, too. ”

The news of "......" was indeed unexpected by Long Tiantong, Long Tiantong also received a notice calling her to go on the expedition tomorrow today, but she didn't expect them to call the glass mark as well. Glass Mark and Long Tiantong are both Black-Winged Lingzi, and they are also a very popular Black-Winged Lingzi, so how many meanings do they mean by arranging the two of them to go out together?

Compared with Long Tiantong, the glass mark is much older. The Black Wing Clan is a very long-lived race, the clan only reaches adulthood at the age of sixty, and the normal lifespan can be thousands of years. Long Tiantong has just reached the age of adulthood this year, but Liuji is already more than five hundred and eighty years old, and the difference between the two is almost ten times the age. Ryu is more calm and mellow in all aspects of his dealings and demeanor, at least on the surface. But Long Tiantong is arrogant and sharp. The two are almost in contrast.

Long Tiantong didn't speak for a while, but Li Zhen immediately spat out an astonishing word: "It seems...... They don't believe in your abilities that much......"

Long Tiantong's heart jumped, her anger suddenly soared, she forcibly suppressed her anger, but her expression was more arrogant and cold than usual, and then said word by word: "How is my ability, I will let you see it with your own eyes!"

"You're going to go tomorrow, and you're still practicing here in the middle of the night...... I will be looking forward to your abilities. Glass marks said.

Long Tiantong really wanted to say that you didn't hang out here in the middle of the night, but this kind of verbal dispute similar to tearing, Long Tiantong still disdained it, she just said: "Even if I practice here all night today, I will still have enough physical strength and energy to march tomorrow, this is my strength." ”

There is a lot of pride and conceit in the sentence. Glass Mark smiled: "Then I'll see you tomorrow." ”

The next day, the daytime chants sounded, and the expeditionary army of Your set out on time.

Long Tiantong and Glass Mark both arrived at the meeting point in advance, and then they both tacitly ignored each other.

Youer also naturally came over to arrange a team, but I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional to arrange the two of them to adjacent positions.

After the preparation was completed, Youer gave an order: "The whole army is set off!"

So the team of 500 people passed through the city gate in an orderly manner and set out on the journey.

The Blackwing people don't like to wear heavy armor, they generally don't wear armor or only leather armor, even if a few people wear iron armor, they will only use iron armor to cover the vital parts, and other places are still light. Therefore, the whole army is lightly armed.

In addition, the location of the incident was not far away, and it was underground, so the whole army didn't even need mounts, and rushed directly to the Earth Spirit Crystal Mine in a hurry.

This army of the Blackwings ran fast in the dark underground passages, like a team of shadows, shuttling through the faint glimmer of the ghostly crystal.

Leaving the city, the lighting in the underground passages plummeted, and the Blackwing people judged that the surrounding environment mainly relied on the keen perception they had cultivated over the years. Of course, as an army, everyone can also use their companions as a reference, but the three people who stand at the head of the team, You'er, Long Tiantong, and Glass Trace, must rely on their own observation to lead the whole army.

Long Tiantong was indeed as she said last night, without any signs of exhaustion, but was full of energy and had a keen senses. The glass marks were faintly observed, and then he quickened his pace slightly, surpassing Long Tiantong by half of his body.

Long Tiantong noticed the small movement of the glass mark, and not to be far behind, he quickened his pace and ran to a position a little ahead of the glass mark.

Glass Mark chuckled.

At such a close distance, Liji's chuckle went straight to Long Tiantong's eardrums, although I don't know what the reason for her laughter is, but it always makes people feel that it is ridicule. Long Tiantong turned his face slightly to face the glass mark, but the glass mark did not show any expression. Long Tiantong had to turn his head again.

At this time, the glass mark accelerated its pace again, and it was dangerous to surpass Long Tiantong, Long Tiantong would not let the glass mark surpass this time, so he hurriedly increased his weight and ran forward.

In this way, while you were chasing me, the two of them led the team to speed forward at a speed much faster than the normal rapid march.

Your saw all the actions of the two, but instead of stopping them, he led the team to follow. It's just a pity for the ordinary people in the team, who have worked so hard but can't say anything about their suffering, and no one dares to complain.

Fortunately, this devil's march will come to an end.

At the front of the passage, a small fortress-like structure blends in with the darkness surrounding it, with only a few clusters of cyan glow crystals embedded in the walls indicating its presence.

The crusaders galloped all the way to the Earth Spirit Mine, and the guards inside the gate had noticed the arrival of the friendly army, and opened the gate in advance to welcome the friendly army in.

"Let's rest in place!" After entering the Diling Mine, You'er gave an order, and the whole army was relieved, and sat down on the ground with a wail. Only Long Tiantong and Glass Mark are still standing in place.

The captain of the guard army of the Earth Spirit Mine originally ran over to catch the wind, but looking at the friendly troops all over the ground looking like they were about to die of exhaustion, he couldn't help but be a little confused, he walked up to You'er and asked with concern: "General, did you encounter the enemy on the road?"

"No, I've received word that the cavemen orcs are likely to attack the mines again by tonight, so we're here in a hurry. ”

"I see. The guard army said.

"Our original plan was to attack the cavemen's lair directly, and draw money from the bottom of the cauldron. But we received the news yesterday, and after some discussion, the clan temporarily decided to change its policy and defend the mine first. Now the command of the mine guards is temporarily in my hands, and I will take unified command. ”

"Yes. "The captain of the guard stood up and accepted the order.

Youer turned to Long Tiantong and the two of them again, and said, "Long Tiantong, Glass Marks, you two come with me." ”

Long Tiantong and Glass Mark followed Youer into one of the guards' office rooms.

Youer first looked at the two of them, and noticed that Long Tiantong's state had completely calmed down, and the glass mark was still slightly gasping.

Youer said to the two of them, "Although both of you are Blackwing Spirit Sons, according to the military regulations of the Blackwing Clan, anyone who accepts the military order must obey the general's arrangement. Therefore, you must all obey my commands. ”

"I know, you just have to give orders. Long Tiantong responded crisply.

"Of course, I will act according to the general's arrangement. Glass marks also said.

"Well, then...... "You're going to punish you two for your private rivalry in today's marching columns." ”

Long Tiantong turned her face a little unhappy, after all, this matter was provoked by Glass Mark first, but she also had to be criticized.

But the glass mark said naturally: "Yes, I shouldn't be rash." It's my mistake, please dispose of it generally. ”

Long Tiantong was a little stunned and stared back at the glass marks. Glass marks just admit that they are wrong? And still in a low voice?
