At midnight, Hongling still seemed to have no intention of sleeping, so as usual, she poured herself a drink on the roof beam.

However, this time, there were still people in the house who couldn't sleep.

"Bothered?"

With a silent thought, the soul power conversion was activated, the surrounding flames were lit, and the cold of the cold night was dispelled, and Jiang Shang sat down beside her.

"No, just thinking about something."

Shrinking back, she blew her little hands that were frozen white by the night wind, and the girl smiled bitterly.

"Why do you think so seriously that you forgot to warm yourself?"

Jiang Shang leaned a little closer, letting the sparks flowing on his body pass the warmth to the past.

"I brought some snacks, so I don't recommend multiple wine companions."

Feeling the body temperature of the stranger, the girl was stunned at first, and then smiled. "Isn't this the snack Ziliel bought during the day? Stealing her for your own supper, aren't you afraid that she will rebel tomorrow? ”

"Although she is a glutton, she never cares how much she eats. No matter how much you eat, you will cry out that you are hungry, and you can forget to eat when you are busy. I suspect she's really hungry, or just hungry. ”

The girl stretched lazily, looked at the cold double moon in the sky, and drained the wine in the cup in one gulp.

"It shows that she has a good control over her original sin, and you have a good knight."

"Gluttony? Compared to other original sins, it is too easy. ”

Hongling shook her head with a smile.

"Gluttony, but it is recognized as the most dangerous original sin, and even, the star soul curse is the lightest for the star soul powerhouse who is so dangerous that it changes the system. Because, their soul color original sin has paid a sufficient price. ”

Jiang Shang was taken aback, but hurriedly asked.

“weishenme！！？ At least gluttony doesn't make people crazy. ”

"It's not a big secret, but it's about other people's privacy. Ziliel is your soul servant, if you want to know, ask her yourself. ”

Jiang Shang wanted to continue to ask, but was framed by Hongling's neck.

"It is not a gentleman's act to ask a lady about her secrets. Since he said that he was drinking with me, it would be undecent. If you want to trick me, you don't drink a drop of alcohol, but it's not decent. ”

The wine gourd was poured into his mouth, and in front of that amazing wrist strength, Jiang Shang could only swallow the wine in a big gulp.

It's easy to learn bad, it's hard to learn well, Jiang Shang, who didn't drink a drop of alcohol in the past, under Hongling's magical drink that replenishes soul power, although due to the curse of the star soul of "mortal recklessness", the growth of soul power is slow, but the amount of alcohol is increasing day by day.

"Ahem! You're so ruthless. Choked so much that tears came out, and the teenager "tearfully" accused the other party of his tragic behavior.

Looking at Jiang Shang's embarrassed appearance, Hongling smiled.

"Hehe, when we first met, you were still pretending to be an old bird, and Zuihou didn't fall to the ground the same."

"You also said that I didn't drink alcohol at the time, so I don't know how important it is, but you at least know it, zuihou drank directly with a sea bowl, did you persuade people to drink like this? When I think about that night, I still have a headache. ”

"Hehe, it's really a teenager, as long as it rises to the problem of masculinity, he dares to pour it directly with a bucket. Remember, when you finished drinking a barrel of fruit beer, the people on the side were still cheering for you, but the next second you fell on your back, and the drinkers around you looked stupid. ”

That night, Jiang Shang couldn't let go at first, but as long as Hongling used words such as "a young man who has not dried up, a little fart with no hair, and not even a girl", Jiang Shang immediately followed up.

It's obviously less than half a month in the past, maybe too many things have happened, but when I recall it, it seems like a world away, and as I talked, both of them laughed.

"Hmm. Well, a mouthful of an old lady, the powder on her face is thicker than the city wall, and the audience was shocked when she drank the wine, zuihou was actually a minor. ”

"Who said that, the old lady is an adult."

"When?"

"On the 27th of last month, my wife turned sixteen and was ready to get married. Little brother, you still have a year to become an adult. ”

"Wasn't that five days ago?! Why don't you say it, even if you can't hold a coming-of-age ceremony, at least hold a birthday party. ”

"No need, no habit." Hong Ling didn't seem to care on her face, but she recalled it uncontrollably in her heart. "Birthday party? Last time, when I was twelve, everyone was there."

Hongling stood up suddenly, raised the wine gourd, and poured wine into her mouth.

And as the overflowing wine falls, perhaps, there are still sorrows and memories of the past, and as for tears and the like, I'm afraid, they have already been gone.

After drinking, the wine gourd was thrown away, turning into scattered brilliance, but Hongling lay down on her back.

Lying down, stretching out her hand, spreading out, as if fishing for the double moon in the air, the girl suddenly smiled.

"Birthday? People like us don't know how many days we have lived when we die, and what is the point of remembering how many days we lived. ”

But in the memories, Hongling remembered those familiar faces.

"Hongling, Uncle really didn't mean to forget your gift this time, don't be angry. When you become an adult, Uncle Lin will give you a big surprise and make up for it at one time. ”

"Don't believe him, he can't spit out ivory. With his IQ, he can only come up with some disgusting bad ideas. On the day of your coming-of-age ceremony, find a runny child and tell you to introduce a boyfriend, then cry without tears. However, don't worry, when the time comes, your sister Xie will take you to the ends of the earth to play. ”

"The ends of the earth?"

"Well, the southernmost point of the East Asian continent, the westernmost point of the Dragon King's territory, and the most beautiful beach in the entire Shijie. Where, it is beautiful, there are green trees, there are golden beaches, because of the proximity to the land of the gods, there is an hour of sunshine every day, by the way, there is also the most beautiful starry sky in the whole of East Asia. ”

Time has changed, but the people in the memories are destined to never realize their promises.

Stretched, turned her head, and looked at Jiang Shang, Hong Ling sneered.

"Hey, Jiang Shang, if you have a chance to receive a coming-of-age gift, what gift do you want?"

Somehow, Jiang Shang felt that Hongling's bright smile made people feel lonely.

"Rite of passage? I thought, perhaps, just like my father had promised, to see the real stars. ”

"What does a real star look like? I've only seen it in books, and it is said that the real starry sky is as beautiful as a heavenly river. Unfortunately, it is said that only the area of complete darkness, the territory of the evil gods and the old gods, can be seen. ”

"It is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days. There are a lot of poems by the ancients, but imagination and picture albums always feel a little worse. Perhaps, the real starry sky should be beautiful. ”

When a night watchman can be alone, he can go to the complete darkness, so in the 100-year tradition of the night watch, being able to see the real starry sky is the coming-of-age ceremony of the night watchman.

Perhaps, letting the next generation enjoy the sunshine and the starry sky again is the common pursuit of the night watch.

In Hongling's eyes, gradually, the figure in the memory coincided with the person in front of her.

"Tell me about your goal, boy, I suddenly want to hear it."

Hearing this, Jiang Shang was a little stunned, a little surprised, from not caring at all, to wanting to know, undoubtedly, it seemed to be an invisible step forward from making Hongling truly his soul servant.

"....If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world. In today's Shijie, the strong are dying and the weak are dying, and if I can, I hope to reverse this increasingly deformed society. ”

"Hehe, the ambition is not small, your goal? Is it the ancestral god and god-king of the gods? As long as these bastards remain, abandoned beasts and old gods will continue to appear, and humans will always be their captive domestic animals. But do you know how strong they really are? ”

"I know that they are almost invincible, so, that's just the ultimate goal, you can start with the pioneer knights first, and slowly accumulate liliang"

"I don't know how thick the sky is, it's up to you?"

"Many things, as long as they are done, there is hope, even if our generation cannot succeed, we can leave liliang and wealth to future generations. And I'm not out of the question."

"For example, your ST mechanism, such as your hidden god sealer's liliang?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shang's face was full of shock, he was really frightened.

Liliang, which I have never used before, weishenme the other party will know.

"Heh, do you think you can hide? Enemy of God, enemy of God! ”

"The legend of the four great gods and enemies has been passed down for almost two hundred years, and the oldest god hunter is one hundred and sixty years old, and he is almost old and dead. The prophetic enemy of Zuihou has never been born, and most people regard this as a rumor. ”

"But when the star soul of the king of the gods is revealed, when the battle of the star souls of the Romance of the Gods is destined to be staged, even if it is a pig, he will think of the liliang of the gods in the Romance of the Gods. You think that the Weishenme Association will take you so seriously, and the Knights of the Holy Flame will always protect you secretly. ”

Jiang Shang smiled bitterly, he really hadn't thought about this aspect.

"I thought this ability was no big deal, after all, the Liliang of the God Sealer is actually also a support type, and the target of use is also limited. The cost of use is also very high. ”

Hearing this, Hong Ling was also a little curious, after all, the abilities of other divine enemies were widely spread, and whether they could clean up the almost invincible true gods was not mentioned for the time being, but they were all very powerful abilities.

"The godkiller can turn the old god into a mortal like himself, and the god hunter into a hand-to-hand fight between two ordinary people, and the wounds caused by the godkiller spear are even more famous for being incurable. The God Eater is said to be able to eat the souls of the old gods and gain the other party's liliang. The power of the oldest god hunter is secret, but there are more than thirty old gods in his hands. ”

"The other gods are so powerful. Your god sealer, how can it be an auxiliary ability. ”

From deliberately keeping a distance to taking the initiative to detect the other party's ability, perhaps, this is also a closer relationship in a sense, but Jiang Shang smiled slyly.

"If you become my soul servant, perhaps, if you are defeated at my hands that day, you will know."

"If you don't talk about it, I don't believe you can hide it for a lifetime, be careful to lose all your light in the battle of stars and souls, and even export the power of the gods."

"If you're willing to be my soul servant, you won't lose."

"Want me to be your babysitter? Little boy, you're a little bit close. ”

"No, not a nanny, it's a companion. It is the companion of Shijie who ends the suffering of all living beings. ”

"Heh, you're really not afraid of blushing, just by virtue of your identity as a god in the East."

"No, it's up to you."

"We?"

"Yes, Liliang will always be just a foreign thing. As long as there are like-minded companions to continue the goal, more and more people will take action, and the entire human civilization will continue to progress, and there will be a successful day. ”

The boy's voice is not high, but in it, there is no perseverance at all costs.

Suddenly, when Hong Ling first met, she regarded Jiang Shang and Liu Min's goals as a childish friendship game.

"Perhaps, I'm the one who is naïve. In the labyrinth of revenge, he kept pursuing, but lost his original goal. ”

Suddenly, Hong Ling shook her head and smiled.

"In half a month, if everything goes well by then, and you haven't changed your attention, I'll seriously consider it."

After speaking, he didn't seem to want to talk anymore, raised the wine bottle, and drank in a big gulp.

Looking at the sixteen-year-old girl who seemed to be back to her drunken dream, Jiang Shang shook his head helplessly.

It is said that only adults who have a lot of troubles can enjoy the beauty of forgetting their worries after drinking. has just become an old drunkard, Hongling, raise a glass to eliminate sorrow and sorrow, the so-called drunken forgetfulness will only make the next day more uncomfortable, in the end, what have you encountered. Let you, who are so strong, choose to be drunk and dream of death, and avoid facing it. ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

A luxury private room on the top floor of Yinhua Hotel in Haiming City.

Luna and Lulu are enjoying feeding each other when a black wind blows outside the window, and a black shadow appears in front of them, transforming into a bear-headed subhuman with a typhoon tattoo on his face.

"Does it stink? What it tastes like. ”

"Bear ......"

"Well, it stinks worse than the smell of orangutans, and I'm sick to death, and I don't have any appetite."

As if they hadn't seen each other's appearance, the two continued to enjoy the ice cream feast on the table.

“…… Bastard! You actually dare to insult me, the Black Bear King, Wang Chengye. ”

"Where did the flies come from? Running out while others are eating disgusting people and looking for death? ”

"Kill."

The four cold silver eyes stared at each other, it was naked killing intent, in the face of this orc who had a grudge, the killing intent of the two could turn into action at any time.

“…… Don't worry about it like you little girls, I brought the master's task. ”

Faced with the threat of death, Wang Chengye, who was still calling himself the King of Bears just now, flinched.

"That bastard boss? Say it."

The swarthy bear head is full of the pride of a fox and a fake tiger.

"What my lord means, let me supervise that Hongling and see if she can still use it. If not, take this opportunity and end it all at once. ”

"It's a boring calculation again."

"Disgusting."

"You little ladies forget it, don't care about little girls."

"How can you wait to underestimate the adult's clever calculation, hehe, the adult's estimate is really correct, Hongling's position is very unfirm. If the adult finally decides to make a move on Jiang Taigong's star soul, it will be just right to solve her at once. ”

"It's great, the stupid bear finally has a bad skull and killed himself."

"Congratulations"

"Ha, I'm not stupid enough to fight any monster. This time, that Star Soul Envoy has Hong Ling's Star Soul Rival under him, so he only needs to reveal the information to the other party, and perhaps, use the other party's Star Soul Envoy as a hostage to guide them to launch the Star Soul Tribulation......"

Wang Chengye said his smug trick, as if he saw that the red of calamity, which had been invincible before, had fallen in front of him, but the other two didn't even look at him, and walked straight out of the room.

Lulu's little fists were clenched tightly, and as a warrior, she wanted to win or lose on the battlefield rather than let her old enemies fall under the conspiracy.
