Chapter III - Lists
At this point in the story, Granny Liu let out a long sigh, and the children in the house were attracted by the ups and downs of the plot, and they were all stunned in place, as if they were in it.
Only Fluttershy looked down and frowned, and after thinking for a while, she didn't seem to understand, and turned her head to see the old man sitting on the edge of the bed with a cigarette bag and pot in his mouth, so she ran over and asked in a low voice:
"Grandpa Tao, since the water demon said that the way of heaven is unfair, then why is he tearing the ground? ”
Tao Weng smiled, put down his cigarette pouch, and picked her up and put her on his lap, "That's why now we have to deal with this unreasonable and indiscriminate big villain." ”
At this time, the other children also came back to their senses, and you discussed it word by word, and the little obedient listened to it unfinished, and took Granny Liu's hand and shook it.
"Granny Liu, what about later?"
Before Granny Liu could say anything, Fluttershy, who was sitting on top of Peach, spoke first.
"You're so stupid, of course you want to find the reincarnation of Sakura and White Mist, and then help them defeat the water demon together, so that's why we came here to be trained to become a warrior. ”
Tao Weng stretched out his wrinkled hand and patted the clever little head approvingly.
"Fluttershy is so smart, that's right, you are all the best and most suitable children of all races to become warriors, tomorrow is the day you officially start training, maybe one day in the future, you will become the strongest swordsman, priest, general, assassin, elemental, summoner, you will fight against the water demons together with the high priest of the god of war, Sakura, White Mist, and restore our continent, you are the hope of the new generation, the light that the water demons fear the most. ”
The old man's words gave the children great confidence and encouragement, and they began to discuss with each other their future dreams, this one said to be the strongest general, the other said to be the most powerful summoner, and they chattered together.
Fluttershy is alone and silently walks to the window and quietly looks up at the starry sky.
The elegant boy who was sitting next to her just now walked up to her with some worry, and touched her head comfortingly, with doting tenderness in his eyes.
"Fluttershy, what's wrong? Are you sad to remember about General Chi again?" he asked softly, standing beside her.
Fluttershy turned her head and smiled at him, quiet and sweet, with an adult-like steadiness in her immature voice, "Daddy is a hero, just like Falling Cherry Blossoms and White Mist! ”
"You have no conscience, you remember your brother, don't you remember your sister?" just now two girls sitting in the back row snickering also walked over, apparently they were partners who often played together.
Seeing the two of them coming, Fluttershy rushed over and hugged them, the smile on her face even brighter, "Of course I remember, there are Xuexue and Mu Mu!"
The three girls laughed and played like this, rolling together, and the elegant boys watched quietly, and from time to time they were amused to chuckle.
Amid the children's playfulness, the two old men couldn't help but sigh, this was the last night of the most carefree time for these children. Since the beginning of the Fuyu Period, every four years, each clan has selected a group of such talented children to come to this Shenzhou Island to receive training to become warriors, but this is only the most basic first step. Then they will be assigned to different guilds in other floating islands according to their own wishes to receive various distribution tasks, conduct actual combat tests, professional level upgrades, personal trials, and so on. In the end, if you can get four of the six professions with advanced certifications, one of the strongest warriors with top certifications, you can go to the top of the Sealing Tower in the northernmost part of Sword Spirit Island to obtain the strongest weapons, as well as the legendary Twelve Gods of War Falling Sakura's Phantom God Summoning Talisman.
However, in the past 198 years of the Fuyu Period, the various ethnic groups have neither found the reincarnation of the falling cherry blossoms and the white mist, nor have anyone climbed to the top of the tower, and they have even begun to doubt and worry about whether the legend of the Sealed Tower is just a legend.
However, time is approaching the day when the water demon will break the seal, and all races have to continue to believe in this ethereal legend.
Halfway through the night, the cold moonlight sprinkled on the leaves of the huge treehouse, and the top layer of the treehouse was a hammock woven of vines, where 15 children slept quietly, but the two old men on the bottom of the treehouse were still waiting for someone to arrive.
As time slowly passed, there was a faint worry on the old man's face, and at this moment, the door of the tree house was suddenly pushed open, and a tall and sturdy, rough-looking man squeezed in through the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he excitedly said to the old man sitting by the fireplace: "Tao Weng, I heard that there are a few amazing seedlings this year, is it true?"
His loud voice aroused the dissatisfaction of the man behind him, so he lifted the long sword in his hand and poked his back with the hilt, "Da Kui, you can't be quiet, don't wake up the little dolls, and how can we get in if you block the door like this." ”
Da Kui hurriedly moved a few steps into the house, and said in a suppressed voice: "I'm sorry Xiao Yao, I'm not excited!"
Along with Xiao Yao came a man and a woman, the man wearing a moon-white priest's robe, and the woman wearing a neat assassin's nocturnal bodysuit.
Tao Weng's eyes suddenly flashed as he looked at the group of four, as he saw a lot of black mud on the hem of the priest's robes, and a lot of grass clippings on the female assassin's body, which was obviously just after a fight.
"Chubai, Yuejian, who are you?" the old woman who came back from serving tea also saw the abnormality on their bodies and asked.
The four people who came in sat down at the table, drinking the hot tea handed by the old woman to drive away the cold of the night.
Tsukimi took a few sips of hot tea before slowly speaking, "Hatsubai and I were attacked by the Dark Guild on the way here, and their purpose seems to be the children here. ”
Hearing this, the hearts of several people were tight, but Xiao Yao changed to a smile with great interest, "Oh? It's kind of interesting! No wonder the president specially sent a few of us as nannies before going to the Sealing Tower." Granny Liu, show us the list!"
Granny Liu gently put her hand on the tabletop, rows of words slowly surfaced on the wooden tabletop, Xiao Yao stared at seven or eight names that were nothing special, so he asked Chu Bai next to him with interest, "It's nothing, what kind of death do you say those dark guilds are here to do?"
Hatsubai, who had been silent, suddenly smiled meaningfully, "No, look at the last five." ”
Xiao Yao was said by him, and quickly moved his gaze back to the list on the table, glanced at the five names he said, and was instantly stunned.
When returning to the sea, Ruo - male - Penglai Island - human race - 11 years old
Returning to the sea and falling snow--female--Penglai Island--Terran--10 years old
Lin Mumu---- female--Shenzhou Island--Terran--10 years old
Sand Little Girl------Flame Island--Terran--10 years old
Chi Mudie---- female--Phantom Wing City--Wing Clan--9 years old
Da Kui looked at it in a daze for a while, stretched out a thick finger, pointed to the two Guihai, and then pointed to the sky, and whispered to Xiao Yao next to him, "This Guihai, won't it be that Guihai?"
Xiao Yao came back to his senses and chuckled, "The Emperor of Man has really made a lot of money this year, not only sent his two sons and daughters, but also dug up the little princesses of the three main cities, even a 9-year-old girl, this is too dark." ”
Before the words fell, he was struck on the head by Tao Weng with a cane, "It's not big or small!"
Yuejian suddenly remembered something, and sneered at Xiao Yao and teased: "I don't know who was beaten by a 9-year-old kid and ran around the martial arts field." ”
Xiao Yao recalled the cruel past that left a psychological shadow on him throughout his youth, and his face was painful, "Don't mention to me that black-bellied little ghost of General Chi's family!" Speaking of this, he suddenly rolled his eyes, showed a sly smile, and shouted to the other three, "I want this Chi Mudie, you are not allowed to rob me!"
was scolded by the other three people together: "You pervert!"
