The Rising Strong (Part II)
The Land of Nine Secluded Places, the City of Shimmers
It's still the same place as before, and you can only rely on the Patronus's abilities to light up a little light in the city. Xiaolan stayed at the window, looking at the light from afar. In this way, she watched it for hours, and her eyes were stupid.
"Silly girl, don't think about it. He's a patron saint, how could he take a fancy to you. Her mother advised. Every time he heard this, the hair on Xiaolan's whole body wrapped himself tightly.
"I don't listen, I don't listen. I must marry a hero like the Patronus-sama. Little Blue muttered. Her eyes were still sneaking through the gaps in her hair to look at the tall figure in the distance. Half of the day has finally passed. Most of the people in Shimmer City have also begun to rest.
The figure lost its own light, and he sat on the roof, quietly looking up at the cold rock formations that were there. "Lord Pangu, find his son. I don't know, will he still remember me? The figure said softly, and the hair on his body wrapped himself as if he were embracing himself.
Every day at this time, Xiaolan would see this scene from afar, and her heart would ache for some reason. Only in this moment, it was as if she could see the Patronus Saint unguard all her defenses, revealing the weakest part of her heart.
"Lord Patronus, I'm worried about someone. Still, why things are regrettable and sad. He must have been full of love, a true man, and a kind person. Xiaolan sighed lightly.
Late at night, Xiaolan lay on the bed and tossed and turned for a long time, unable to sleep. She finally decided to take action. Even if he would refuse himself, at least I tried.
Thinking of this, Xiaolan went downstairs lightly. She pricked up her ears and listened for a while, and there was a steady snoring sound in her parents' room. When she ran out into the street, her heart finally let go.
The hard rocky ground is covered with a layer of soft volcanic dust. Xiaolan stepped on it, feeling this little heat, as if she could still feel the temperature of the center of the earth. Only then did she realize that she had forgotten to put on her shoes.
After hesitating for a while, Xiaolan decided to continue on his journey. In case it is discovered by parents, it is estimated that this kind of opportunity will not be available again in the future. Running down the familiar street, she happily ran forward.
At this time, there were no people around, and there was silence. This only added a trace of inexplicable courage to her originally uneasy heart. "Actually, I'm pretty good. My hair is the least blue in Shimmer City. Perhaps, he just likes me like this. Lan chuckled as she ran.
When she ran to the Patronus's station, the sight in front of her surprised Xiaolan. At some point, the Patronus Saint had come down from the roof. Surrounded by a dozen members of the opposite sex, they are taking turns to pay their respects to the Guardian Saint.
Seeing this scene, Xiaolan's heart was half cold. After stopping and watching for a long time, she finally lost all her courage. "It seems that my mother is right. A little girl like me won't even have a chance to get close to him. Little Blue said disheartenedly.
She followed the path she had come from, and returned dejectedly. I didn't walk for long, and I realized that my feet hurt terribly. Xiaolan sat down to take a look, only to find that her feet had already ground out blisters. It's really a house leak, and it rains all day long. Xiaolan endured the pain and struggled forward.
"Are you alright? A gentle voice asked. Xiao Lan turned his head and saw a black-haired fellow man standing in front of him, and he asked with concern. "Thank you, I'm fine, it's just that my foot hurts a little ....... Somehow, as soon as Xiaolan heard his gentle voice, she felt that her emotions were uncontrollable, and she almost cried bitterly.
"I'll send you back, it's so late, and it's not safe for you to be alone. This person didn't tremble, just picked up Xiaolan and left. "Thank you, I haven't asked you what your name is. "Oh, just call me Maomao. Why are you alone so late and still coming out. ”
For this stranger, Xiaolan seems to have an inexplicable sense of trust. She began to talk about her thoughts, and Mao Mao couldn't help laughing and said, "How do you know, Lord Guardian Spirit, it will be so good." Maybe like you and me, maybe it's still a gluttonous guy. ”
"Hmph, isn't it true that Sir is talking about the Patronus Saint like that. It's jealousy, I don't want your help, I can go on my own. I'm going to see him someday. He must have been an amazing hero. When Xiaolan heard this, her stubborn temper came up again. She struggled to get off the other's back.
Mao Mao sighed and said, "Okay, I won't say these words anymore." Forgive me. The other party's good temper made Xiaolan a little apologetic for a while. In her heart, she knows that something is wrong with herself, but she can't erase her face.
"Patronus, you've done so much for us. At this point, you are not right to say those things. Xiaolan let out a low breath. "That's right, even if he's not a hero, he's trying to protect everyone. Mao Mao sighed lightly.
At this moment, there was a sudden violent shaking of the ground. Mao Mao put Xiaolan on the side of the road, and he apologized: "I suddenly remembered that there are some things that have not been done yet. Now, there aren't many roads left, and you can get home on your own. ”
"Don't worry, I can. You're going to have to work hard, too. Thank you. Xiaolan smiled heartily. "I think you're going to see him. You're a nice girl. Mao Mao also chuckled.
Before Xiaolan could say anything, Mao Mao was gone, as mysterious as when he appeared. "He's a strange man, but he's a good guy. Xiaolan smiled lightly.
At the city gate, a sergeant defending the city saw what was coming. I couldn't help but shout in horror: "Quickly raise the alarm, there is a monster invasion." By the time the alarm sounded throughout the city, many people saw a flash of lightning and rushed out of the city.
"It's the Patronus, we are saved. "Lord Patronus, mighty. And they all shouted. I don't know how long later, a miserable cry sounded, and the movement outside the city gradually subsided.
The sergeant guarding the city poked his head out cautiously. I saw a huge carapace beast, which had fallen under the walled city. The hard walls still have a lot of claw marks, and the guardian spirit is long gone.
Just when the people of Shimmer City were anxiously searching for the traces of the Guardian Saint. The electric figure had run thousands of miles away, and he had followed the crustacean all the way here.
The gap in the rock formation on top made him wonder: "Could it be that the relationship between such a small gap makes the creatures of the other layers often appear on the ninth floor recently." ”
At that moment, a beam of light shone in front of him. He was taken aback, and after a while, he cautiously stretched out his hand. Warm and bright, like all that is written, the light that comes from the land of light.
The figure knelt down reverently, returning to its original appearance. A small ball of hair, under the beam of light, trembled with excitement. "The gods have not forsaken us. Lord Pangu, we are not born sinners, and the light will shine on us. Maomao can come to you, are you okay? ”
Infinity Continent
Chen Shi watched countless boulders fall from the sky, and the entire mechanical city was smashed in flames. "It's just recovered, and now it's all ruined. Chen Shi sighed helplessly. "Don't do that, you've done your best. The waitress said softly.
In the ruins, Chen Shi looked at his damaged body and couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect my newly modified body. It's still so useless. At that moment, a light flashed in the sky.
A Celestial ship flashed out, dropping a package and speeding away. Chen Shi opened the package and couldn't help but be shocked, it was two mechanical claws that flashed with ghostly light. "It's Dad's, Chen Shi gently wiped the number on the mechanical claw, and muttered to himself, what the hell is going on, and who else can easily remove Dad's hand.
The last time the mechanical interface was still on the pillar, the power of his father's action had a great impact on him. Before Chen Shi's words were finished, the two mechanical claws moved like swimming fish.
They circled around Chen Shi and flew around. Without seeing any movement, Chen Shi saw that his figure actually began to disappear slowly. Even if it was a mechanical life form, there was no pain, and Chen Shi felt extremely flustered.
"Stop, what are you doing. Chen Shishi shouted. Many of the machines on the side also wanted to rush to help. It's like a boat caught in a whirlpool, and it disappears in an instant.
"Don't do that, stop. Chen Shi was shocked to see that even the waitress was not spared. The terrifying vortex is still expanding, threatening to swallow the entire mechanical city.
"If you can't control them, let them ruin everything. Anyway, you can't avoid the disaster below. A grim voice rang out. Chen Shi, who was forced to death, finally sneaked his ability at the last moment.
"The soul flame has been sublimated. Chen Shi watched in surprise as a flash of fire ignited from the only remaining half of his skull. His consciousness became as vast as the sea. Like microelectronics, they are pervasive. Even if it doesn't have a shell, it doesn't affect its power.
The two mechanical claws tamely stopped, they attached to Chen Shi's body, and began to weave his new body skillfully. "One has the power to combine objects, and the other has the power to dismantle objects. It's amazing. Chen Shi sighed as he manipulated his claws.
"I've used them to disassemble mechanical life forms for thousands of years. Finally, a trace of the power of the rules was blessed. I hope you can make good use of it, and your enemies will be much stronger than you think. Whether our race can survive or not is up to you. The cold voice was gone.
Chen Shi no longer had a smile on his face, and he turned to look at the same kind of people who had reappeared from the whirlpool, as well as the waitress he cared about the most. After a while, Chen Shi said helplessly: "Dad, can I return the goods?" ”
