Chapter 3: Sleepy Autumn City
"It looks like you're in trouble, why don't I help?"
This man spoke very casually, just like everyone else, walking and coming at will.
Zhou Heng and Mu Shiyu followed the sound and looked over, still the two very familiar shadows.
The cobweb-like splinters make the feeling of looking at the shadows even more mysterious.
Zhou Heng didn't speak, but he saw the hope that was gradually burning in Mu Shiyu's eyes, so he said to the shadow.
"If you can. ”
Zhou Heng felt the mysterious man in the shadows smile, yes, although Zhou Heng didn't see it, he just felt it.
"It's okay, it's not a hassle anyway. ”
This sentence is also very casual.
Zhou Henggang wanted to say that there was a place that might be the eye of the storm, and as long as the storm was destroyed, it would disappear.
But the man's next actions made Zhou Heng and Mu Shiyu stunned.
The man in the storm waved his hand and said, "It's all gone." ”
The corners of Zhou Heng's mouth twitched, Mu Shiyu's head was a little dizzy, if it weren't for the fact that they were in the most dangerous moment, their five senses were full, and they even wondered if they had heard it wrong.
But what happened after that shocked them.
The storm, which was originally terrifying and even intensified, erupted into a whine in the eye of the wind after hearing the man's words.
Then the wind stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the sun penetrated without hindrance.
Zhou Heng was stunned, Mu Shiyu was stunned, and Huang Zhen, who was watching the play outside, was also stunned.
The storm dissipated, and so did the natural shadows, revealing their original true faces.
Their attention shifted with it.
The man was not as special as they thought, on the contrary, the man had a very ordinary face, and he couldn't find anyone in the crowd.
But his eyes were bright, like a mirror.
There was a little girl standing beside him, the little girl was wearing a black dress, and her petite body gave people a very weak feeling.
But her eyes are different, unlike humans, her pupils are erect, and the blood-like red invisibly gives people a condescending sense of oppression.
These two people stand together, with an inexplicable sense of disobedience, but when they feel it seriously, there is a sense of reality that is inseparable.
"It's still a sunny day. ”
The little girl's crisp voice is very nice.
The man smiled, "It's supposed to be a sunny day, but the sequence of high-level magic has changed the weather." ”
The little girl seemed a little irritated, frowned, and said, "That's why I hate magic." ”
The man muttered, "Besides, you're not afraid of magic, what you should be afraid of is whether I'm good or not." ”
The little girl did not speak again, and looked to the north.
This nourishing conversation gave the others a little time to sort out their thoughts, and it was Zhou Heng who was the first to wake up, but he didn't move because he saw Huang Zhen coming over.
Huang Zhen's face was even more ugly than before, because the nirvana he set up was actually broken by an outsider, and he even looked at him with ease, so he forcibly held back his annoyance and said respectfully to the man: "May I ask who you are?"
When the man saw someone asking about him, he smiled and said, "Are you calling me?" My name is Ji Tian, so I can be regarded as a mercenary. ”
"Mercenary?" Huang Zhen was puzzled at first, and then said with some annoyance: "Please stop making such jokes, with your strength, you will still stoop to stay in the mercenary?"
In Huang Zhen's opinion, this person can break the eighth-order spell with one move, and he is sure that the Sage Mirror is around, such a person will be among the mercenaries he has always looked down on?
Ji Tian still had a smile on his face and said, "I'm not joking, since I said that I am a mercenary, then it must be, don't worry about this." ”
Huang Zhen looked into the eyes of a few days and said, "Then in that case, why would you help them as a mercenary, I didn't know that they issued this task in the mercenary association." ”
Ji Tian said: "Do mercenaries have to have a mission to help people? I don't remember this article in the mercenary manual. ”
"That's not what I meant. Huang Zhen said, "It's just ...... Why?"
This is also the answer that Zhou Heng and Mu Shiyu both have doubts and want to know.
Ji Tian scratched his head and said, "Isn't this obvious? We got lost and couldn't find the way back, and they just showed me the way, so I helped out in order to express my gratitude." ”
Ji Tian looked at Ji Tian with an idiotic expression, on the contrary, the little girl next to him turned around and looked at Ji Tian with an idiot expression.
Hearing the answer, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and couldn't help but wonder how innocent this person really was.
Huang Zhen was silent for a moment and then said: "They are prisoners of the Empire, and they need to be arrested and interrogated, and you have already helped with the storm, so you don't owe them anything." ”
Huang Zhen continued: "And the two things are not the same, I also have my mission, so I hope you don't help them anymore, after all, their identity is a prisoner, then the person who helped them is naturally an accomplice, if you leave now, I can treat it as if you didn't see anything." ”
He bowed slightly and said, "I don't know what you think." ”
Ji Tian put away his smile and said, "Are you threatening me?"
"Don't dare. Huang Zhen bowed again and said, "I just hope you have the right decision." ”
Ji Tian didn't answer, looked back at Zhou Heng and Mu Shiyu, and said seriously: "Do you know him? Why are you so idiotic." ”
Mu Shiyu was a little speechless, but thinking about the people and forces behind Huangzhen, he didn't speak.
And Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "That's good." ”
At this time, Ji Tian was thinking about what he said well.
Huang Zhen's body stiffened slightly, he straightened up, and said slowly: "I don't know who you are, but do you really think that you have won the entire empire?"
"That's a bit too much. Ji Tian waved his hand and said, "As long as you can win, it's fine." ”
Ji Tian obviously didn't notice the obvious intention of declaring war in his words.
Huang Zhen took a step back, but not out of mind, but in order to distance himself.
Zhou Heng and Mu Shiyu were injured, Huang Zhen still had the strength to fight, and most importantly, he was a dragon knight, and he was not fighting alone.
The dragon had been hovering high in the sky ever since it spewed out that breath, and it would not take it seriously until its owner needed it.
Like now.
Two against one, no matter how you look at it, it is an advantage, even if it is defeated, Huang Zhen believes that Ji Tian will not dare to kill himself because of the empire.
His purpose is to confirm the strength of his opponent.
Huang Zhen took a deep breath, the strength of the realm exploded, the giant dragon above his head raised his head and roared, and the dragon's tail danced in the air, with fierce battle intent.
Ji Tian was still in place without any movement, he looked back at Zhou Heng Mu Shiyu with a worried expression, and shook his head to say that there was no need to worry.
Ji Tian didn't move, so naturally he didn't plan to make a move, because someone had made a move before him, not Huang Zhen, not Mu Shiyu or Zhou Heng, she was a little girl, she was wearing a dress as black as ink, and her bright red vertical pupils made people tremble.
She stepped forward and stood in front of Ji Tian's side.
"I love to eat. ”
"I've eaten all the food, and I'm satisfied, but I'm not satisfied. ”
"Why? Because I love to eat, but there are so few things in the world, so I'm a little disappointed. ”
The sound is like a waterfall in a deep valley, deep, clear, natural, sonorous and powerful.
She didn't look at Huang Zhen, she just looked up at the dragon.
She raised her head, looking up, but she felt like she was looking down at the whole world.
"There's one thing I'm not going to eat anyway, and that's dragon meat. ”
"It's like humans don't go and eat humans, and that's disgusting, so I'm not going to kill you because I've always thought it's shameful to waste food. ”
"But if you're going to stand in my way and make my enemies, I don't mind wasting one. ”
The little girl was really small, and even smaller in the eyes of the dragon.
But in the eyes of the giants, the small figure suddenly became huge, and the pair of dragon eyes began to panic, it turned out that it was itself that was insignificant.
Huang Zhen watched the little girl's idiotic behavior, and just as he wanted to laugh coldly, he heard a mournful roar above him.
Then the ground shook violently, the dust was messy, and Huang Zhen hurriedly turned back, his eyes full of incredulity.
The mountain-like dragon seemed to have really become a mountain, its huge body lying on the ground, its body stiff, the breath in its nose was light, as if it wanted to breathe, but it was suppressed by something invisible, which made it suffer.
"This ...... What's going on? No way, this can't be!"
Huang Zhen was shocked.
The battle ended almost before it began, and it was a little girl who came out to end the fight.
Also shocked were Zhou Heng and Mu Shiyu, their eyes when they looked at the little girl changed, and they were surprised that such a little girl had done something to make the dragon fall.
The little girl turned a blind eye and quietly walked back to where she had been, as if none of the things had anything to do with her.
But does it really matter?
Ji Tian shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Then are you still fighting now?"
Huang Zhen gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "What do you want?"
Ji Tian waved his hand and said, "It's not good, you go quickly, how can you stop me from going like this." ”
Huang Zhen was a little stunned and said, "Are you going to let me go?"
Ji Tian rolled his eyes and said, "Otherwise, you still plan to stay and watch the scenery." ”
Mu Shiyu wanted to say something, but Zhou Heng shook his head at her and told her not to speak.
Huang Zhen was silent for a moment, and walked out of the wasteland, the giant dragon looked at the little girl uneasily, and saw that she didn't want to stay with her, so he hurriedly left behind Huang Zhen.
Not long after, the two disappeared into the wasteland, and Ji Tian and the others really started talking.
"Thank you. ”
This is Zhou Heng's words, and it is also the beginning of the conversation.
"Thank you, as I said before, it's not too troublesome, it's just easy. ”
"It may be casual for you, but it's life-threatening for us. ”
Zhou Heng looked a little shaky and said, "It's just that there is a reluctant request now, I hope you can agree." ”
Ji Tian raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhou Heng and said, "If it's convenient for you." ”
Zhou Heng's face softened after hearing this, and he nodded a little sincerely and said, "Then I'll leave it to you." ”
Then he couldn't hold on any longer, and the backlash finally exploded in his mind, and his eyes went black and he fell to the ground.
Mu Shiyu hurriedly stepped forward and pressed her hand on his forehead, and a faint blue smoke spread across his forehead.
Ji Tian looked at Mu Shiyu's pale face, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said, "Your magic power is already overdrawn, so it won't have much effect." ”
Mu Shiyu looked at Ji Tian and said stubbornly: "Even if the effect is minimal, it still has some effect after all, at least I hope ...... It will make him less painful."
Ji Tian smiled, walked to the horse's side, calmed down for a while, and turned around and said.
"It's about the same, and we should be on our way. ”
Mu Shiyu raised her head and asked, "Where are you going?"
Ji Tian looked to the north and said, "Sleepy Autumn City." ”
