I probably have some understanding of Ren Jianman's strength, but my strength is always an unknown, I hate this kind of unknown, it stands to reason that I should be very strong with Hua Sixteen by my side, but, every time I think of the murderous picture of Hua Sixteen rushing towards me with a sword before, it will make me feel a chill down my spine, looking at Ren Jianfang sitting opposite me, I sighed deeply.

This is not the first time that Ren Jianfang has mentioned Demon Ridge in my ear, for the horror of Demon Ridge, I can already clearly feel that whenever I encounter danger, in addition to letting Hua Sixteen come out to help me, what can I do myself? Hua Sixteen is very powerful, but he is a double-edged sword, there are advantages and disadvantages for me, now I rely on him too much, so that without him, I can't do anything, in case one day Hua Sixteen chooses not to help me anymore, or turn around and kill me, what should I do? No matter from which point of view, I don't have the ability to embark on the road of conquering the Demon Ridge, in the final analysis, or because I am too dependent on Hua Sixteen, I have to find a way to make myself stronger, quit this dependence, and become stronger than Sixteen, after all, he is not me, only self-improvement is the path I should choose next.

After eating, Ren Jianfang took me to the second floor of the tavern to rest, and his original words were: " Now there must be a lot of soldiers in the country of the Hundred Tribulations who are searching for you and me, no matter how they think, they will never think that we will sleep under their noses, relax, they will search twice and think that we are out of the city, or find some hidden place to hide, when the tigers are napping, we will stay here honestly during the day, and when they are tired, we will suddenly appear and hit them by surprise, absolutely twice the result with half the effort. ”

Maybe it's because I've drunk too much wine, Ren Jianmad has been snoring for a long time as soon as he lies down, but I can't sleep anyway, looking back everything seems like a dream yesterday, as if Wuge's death was only yesterday, crying bitterly and begging Mr. Ochie to take me as an apprentice was only yesterday, it was only yesterday to sign the soul contract with Hua Sixteen, Mr. Ochie's departure was only yesterday, and the death of the man with the sword was only yesterday.

If it is really as Mr. Och said, there is really an adult in this world who controls the fate of the whole world, I think his mood at this moment, the fragments that appear intermittently in my mind, he must be able to see it, right? Maybe he is now staring at me with a pair of eyes wide in a corner, and my every move and thoughts are all under his control, right? If that is the case, and the adult is really so omniscient and omnipotent, he must know that I am looking for him, right? Can I really find him? And even if I do, what can I do? Will he tell me the truth of everything? If he won't tell me, what should I do? Will I fight him? Do I have the strength?

"Alas. "I lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling in the tavern, sighing lamentingly, before I set out from the Hundred Tribulations Country, I began to doubt my ability, and before I reached the Demon Ridge, I was already frightened, and the once unwavering belief had begun to crumble.

Just when I was thinking about it and had a splitting headache, Ren Jianfang suddenly danced and said in his dream: "Hey, hey, hey, I warn you not to be too arrogant! Okay, let you taste the ultimate sword technique I used to press the bottom of the box, Excalibur Stealing Peach! How about it? The peach is gone, right? It's so sweet, so sweet. The sound of chewing food came from his mouth, as if he was really eating something, and the more he ate it, the more delicious it became.

I couldn't help but shake my head as I looked at Ren Jianman's cute appearance, and said with emotion, "Alas, what kind of mess am I thinking about here? I may not always be so weak, I will definitely become extremely strong, besides, I still have you, Xiaojian, and you by my side, we are partners, we will definitely succeed, right?"

"Yes, it's your peach!" Ren Jian replied violently, and I looked at him carefully, still dreaming.

"Hahahaha..."I clutched my stomach and laughed.

"Huh?" Perhaps my loud laughter woke him up, and he sat up and looked at me with those sleepy-eyed misty eyes with a puzzled expression.

"Dreaming?" I asked, looking back at him.

"Hmm, how do you know?" said Ren Jianfang, with a surprised expression.

"I don't even know what your dream is, did you get into a fight with a peach tree in your dream?"

"Oh, no!"

"Don't deceive people, absolutely, what are you calling it with one move, by the way, you also used one ultimate sword skill to press the bottom of the box, Excalibur stole peaches, and picked all the peaches on the peach tree. ”

Ren Jian's old face turned red when he heard this, and he replied with an embarrassed face: "Uh-huh... I remembered, and it was. ”

"Vig, what time is it, are you awake or haven't slept all along?" Ren Jian frantically diverted the topic and asked me.

"I don't know when, it's already dark anyway, I can't sleep, I should really listen to you and have a few drinks. ”

"Hahahaha... This wine is the best of all wonders, regret it, right?"

I gave him a blank look and ignored him.

He stood up and went to the window, cracked the window and carefully observed the situation outside, nodding his head as he observed, as if he was very satisfied.

He looked at it for a moment, then turned to me and said, "Vig, pack up and get ready, let's go at once." As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the sword on the ground and put it back on his back.

"What's the name of your sword?" I asked, stretching and carrying the sword behind my back, looking at him.

"It's called Reverse Scale, what about yours?" Ren Jianfang raised an eyebrow at me and asked rhetorically.

"Let's go. I didn't answer it, not because I didn't want to answer, but the name of the sword would make people laugh out of their teeth, and the name "Sword" was indeed a bit vulgar, and after I finished cleaning up, I took the lead down the stairs on the second floor of the tavern, followed by Ren Jianmania, who followed me.

Out of the tavern, it was pitch black in front of me, the noisy scene of the day was gone, and the empty streets were accompanied by gusts of gloomy wind, which made people creepy, but fortunately, the moon was very big tonight, so as not to run into walls everywhere, Ren Jianfang and I walked side by side by the moonlight, and whispered to discuss the next plan of action.

"Vig, when we get to the Duke's Palace, I'll hide it first, you go in first, you make the open gun, and I make the hidden arrow, so that I can take care of you and not be too passive. ”

"How do I get in?" I asked, looking at him quizzically.

"Walk in from the door!"

"Are you crazy? Don't you want me to be a live target?"

"Relax, almost no one in the Duke's Mansion knows you except for Hando, those shrimp soldiers and crabs who have seen you before will be Hando's subordinates, not belonging to the Duke's Palace, you just have to boldly go to the door, tell the soldiers that you have something important to meet the Duke of Tanur, and tell them to go in and report, if you are lucky, the Duke of Tanur will come out to see you, I will take advantage of his inattention to kill him with a sword, and we will be done, if you are unlucky, he will ask the soldiers to take you in, so it will be more troublesome, I will sneak into the Duke's Palace and wait for the opportunity." ”

"A duke will come out to see me in person, is this possible?"

"Well, what you said is not unreasonable, there is a ninety percent chance that Tanur will ask you to take you in, you listen to Vig, after entering, be careful of a man, this man is a summoner under Tanur, except for him, a musketeer or something, I don't think it will do you any harm, but it is not worth mentioning. ”

"Your grandfather's! Why don't you come and do this kind of bullet thing? Pit your grandfather!" I cursed in my heart.

"Hey, hey, what does the man you want me to be careful about, does he have any physical features?" I asked.

"Think about it..."

A long time has passed.

"Who knows what he's going to be wearing today? squinting or wide-eyed? I know he's a man, that's all, I can't think of any characteristics for the time being. ”

"Well, anyway, it's a clue, at the very least, knowing that the summoner isn't a woman, well, it seems like I'm just going to have to improvise. ”
