readx;? Yarra Continent, a neutral place, a capital of knowledge, and a central business district. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It is the early spring of another year, and the warm wind from the north blows away the cold of a winter entrenched in the capital of knowledge, and the new young leaves climb all over the branches, bringing the breath of spring to the streets and alleys. On the ground, the grass that has been dormant for a long time breaks the confinement of the soil and rejuvenates with new vitality, and the gentle green grass swaying in the wind is like spring announcing loudly, I am back again.

As an iconic plant in the neutral land, when the other flowers are still shy and shrunk into a ball, the pink fruit flower has already revealed its face, blooming proudly on the branches, dyeing the whole city with its own color with white, pink and crimson bodies. In the air, the fragrance of pink fruit flowers is wafting, and the sight is full of the color of pink fruit flowers, on the tip of the tongue, the slight sweetness of pink fruit flowers is recalled, and even the mouth is filled with the name of pink fruit flowers.

Yes, it's the eve of the early spring festival again, and it's the most anticipated time of the year.

On the eve of the early spring festival, people in the holy capital will have happy smiles on their faces, decorate the gate of their residence with their hearts, and then hang spring gifts on the door frame, excitedly waiting for the early spring festival to come as soon as possible, these days, people's happiness is irrepressible.

But today, people's faces are gloomy, with lingering apprehension, and that's because of the sky, which is also gloomy, and it seems that the first heavy rain of early spring is brewing.

The rain on the eve of the early spring festival, for the people of the holy capital, is simply the worst news, the drizzle is better, if it is heavy rain, it means that the most important festival in the first half of the year, almost compared with the New Year's celebration at the end of the year, the early spring festival, I am afraid it will be overshadowed, after all, people will not go out in the rain to enjoy the flowers, can only sigh at home to the heavy rain, even if the rain has stopped on the day of the early spring festival, the pink fruit flowers covered with dense branches, will also wither under the destruction of the heavy rain, the early spring festival no longer has the atmosphere it should have. Therefore, today's gloomy sky makes the people of Shengdu feel a little depressed, and they can't do things in good spirits, and everyone looks forward to the miraculous clearing of the sky, so that everyone can have a happy early spring festival.

However, not everyone is depressed, there are still people who are more emotional, well, although it seems to be forced, such as the stall owner who chased the thief.

"Catch the thief, catch the thief. Along a street in the commercial district, which was not originally bustling, a fruit stall owner waved a metal tray for fruits, and while panting in pursuit, he shouted: "Catch the thief in front, whoever can catch him, I will reward him with five silver coins." ”

However, there was no one to help, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't have the ability to help, because the thief who fled in front was a little weird, he was not running, but floating in mid-air along the street, and the passers-by below couldn't stop him at all.

That's right, he's floating, because he's not human at all, but a half-physical ghost. The pale ghost held a hammerhead melon that was eaten with a third of the melon skin in his hand, which is a specialty of the country of mountains, and it is a relatively expensive fruit, a medium-sized hammerhead melon is often sold for twenty silver coins, which is already a very poor person's food expenses for nearly ten days, and now, this expensive fruit is eaten by a ghost while running, well, and it is connected with a thick and sour melon skin, no one with normal intelligence will do this.

The stall owner chased after him, the ghost flew through the air, the passers-by pointed at the street with a look of excitement, and some threw the clutter at the ghost and tried to knock it out of the air, but the result was that the object passed through the ghost's body and hit the innocent people on the other side, including the poor stall owner. As for the high-level professionals who can attack the ghosts, if the stall owner doesn't shout out the reward of five silver coins, it's okay, since he shouts out, it belongs to the commission, and if people hear that they are a high-level professional to accept the commission of five silver coins, it is estimated that they will be ridiculed by their peers for several years.

At the other end of the street, a group of adventurers dressed as adventurers were also heading this way, and at the front was an adventurer as thin as a skeleton, well, it was a skeleton, but it was covered with studded leather armor, and the rest of the place was exposed, and it clicked as soon as it walked. Behind him, an elf and a lizardman followed side by side, followed by two humans. The soul fire in the front skeleton's eye sockets was beating violently, and it seemed to be very anxious to look at the ghost in the air in the distance. However, due to the proximity of the early spring festival, there are many pedestrians on the street, and the impact of the emergency has caused a street to be crowded with people watching the excitement, and adventurers cannot rush to get there as soon as possible.

Not only were the adventurers in this direction unable to move quickly through the crowded streets, but the shopkeeper who was chasing the stolen goods was obviously unable to do so, so he could only watch the ghost thief drift farther and farther away, and shouted angrily: "Twenty silver coins, whoever can catch him, I will give twenty silver coins as a reward." ”

The voice of "ah" was still dragging in his mouth before he finished speaking, and from the largest courtyard of the whole street, a black shadow flew out with a roar, and slapped heavily on the ghost thief who happened to pass near the courtyard during the escape, and the huge black shadow almost covered the entire body of the ghost, not only smashed the hammerhead melon in the thief's hand, but also the black shadow and the thief together, and slammed into the wall opposite the courtyard. It was only then that the people watching the excitement realized that the black shadow was a shield, a huge shield that was close to a man high, and the professionals could see that it was a kis shield belonging to the knights.

"Bang", the irises hit the wall, and the loud noise made the onlookers tremble, and they were very worried that the wall would collapse, but the quality of the wall seemed to be good, and it only shook a few times in people's fantasies, and in fact there was no change. However, the poor ghost thief was not so lucky, and the fighting spirit attached to the shield obviously flattened him a lot, making his whole ghost look like a building plank, and the flat body caused a burst of laughter from the people around him.

But laughter aside, when the gate of the courtyard was opened, the people watching the excitement consciously made a way, allowing the owner of the shield to walk out of the courtyard and slowly walk to the ghost. The onlookers found that the woman in the courtyard was actually a very beautiful black-haired lady, with a gorgeous face, a tall posture, an elegant temperament, and a magnet that attracted the attention of all men, but it was a pity that her knight's scale armor covering her whole body and the huge iris shield at her feet dispelled the idea of all men coming forward to talk, they knew very well that if they angered each other, they were not like that ghost, even if they changed from a ghost to a ghost, they could also be dizzy and swaying in place.

The female knight picked up the shield on the ground with an expressionless face, regretfully glanced at the hammerhead melon shattered into a puddle on the ground, and sighed softly, just when people imagined that she regretted that she was sorry for not being able to help the shopkeeper save the stolen goods, the female knight turned around sharply and stretched out her hand to the stall owner who finally squeezed through the crowd and rushed to the scene: "Twenty silver coins." ”

"Oh, ah?" The stall owner didn't react for a while, although the high-level professionals spend a lot on various resources, but their income is also very high, and they often belong to the rich, and few will care about the problem of dozens of silver coins, so he was stunned, looked at the female knight blankly and said, "What, what?"

"I said, twenty silver coins, you promised. The female knight's eyes slowly became dangerous, and she squinted her eyes and said, "You won't ...... You're teasing me. ”

"No, no, no, how could it be. The stall owner was about to cry, and with the fastest speed in his life, he took out a handful of silver coins and put them on the palm of the female knight's outstretched hand, and said with a smile: "I never deceive people, yes, yes, never deceive people." ”

"It's a good habit. The female knight actually counted the silver coins in her hand carefully, threw the extra three to the shopkeeper again, and snorted coldly: "I know a person whose greatest hobby is to tease others, so he went to hell and has not come back now." So, keep your good habits now and don't change them. ”

"Yes, yes, I will never change. The stall owner's greatest wish now was to turn around and run, but reason allowed him to stay where he was for the time being as a sign of politeness.

Only then did the adventurer from the other direction squeeze through the crowd and run out with an embarrassed face, and the skeleton in front did not stand firmly, so he flew up and kicked the ghost who had just woken up to the wall again, and nodded quickly to the female knight while chattering, as if he was smiling, and then took out a piece of cardboard from his back, on which was written the word "sorry".

"So, this is indeed your regiment. The female knight squinted at the skeleton and said dissatisfiedly, "Why did you cause a riot?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The human adventurer who came from behind knew that his skeleton teammate was inconvenient to speak, so he came over to accompany him with a smile and said: "That idiot just came out of the necromantic world for a few days, and he didn't know the rules outside, and he was a little naughty, which caused a riot. I'm really sorry, we will be responsible for compensating the stall owner. ”

"That's fine, otherwise let's go to the City Guard to solve the problem, or make a big fuss, and explain it directly to President Odin. The female knight bent down to pick up the shield on the ground, ignored the noise outside, and turned and walked towards the courtyard: "Negotiate compensation with the stall owner yourself, and besides, take care of your teammates, and don't make any more trouble." ”

Amid the frequent apologies of the adventurers, the female knight casually closed the door and returned to the mansion in the depths of the courtyard. The noise outside made the female knight frown, but the noise in the small garden made the female knight smile knowingly.

"You dead kids, get out of the way. A rough voice roared: "Lao Tzu is a ferocious monster, are you afraid of monsters, Lao Tzu can eat eight of you in one bite, and if you dare to crawl on Lao Tzu, you will eat them all, leaving only the bones to spit out." ”

"Courage, Brother Lion, I only have bones left. Brother Lion really liked me the most, and only allowed me to climb up. ”

"Get out of here, you are not allowed to climb either, so I hate dead children the most. The rough voice continued to roar loudly: "And you, don't think that if you float in the sky, I don't know that you are going to pounce, even if you become transparent, I can see you, and the other two below, you think that you are ordinary humans, will I be merciful to your men? Although you did not climb up, but also stay away from me, the meat of ordinary humans tastes more delicious, be careful I can't help but treat you as a snack." Oh my God, you two damn birds, I knew you were making trouble, and this time you were the ones who got them to climb on top of me to play, and you two waited for me, and when I got rid of the four of them, I was going to teach you a lesson. ”

"Poof. The tearful sight of the other party caused the knight to burst out laughing, and in the laughter, she shook her head, and returned to the little garden, back to her original position.

The small garden of the mansion is not small, enough for seven or eight people to chase and fight in it, in the middle of this small garden, a manticored lion more than five meters long is lying on the ground, flicking its tail to drive away the girls around it, while making a threatening expression to the two winged girls who are hiding in the distance to watch the excitement. Of course, the heroic Winged Humans were not afraid of the threat, so the two girls immediately responded with grimaces, and the angry manticores screamed. In the Manticore, two little undead climbed up the Manticore's body as if they were exploring, while the other two human girls, who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, still retained their childlike innocence, applauded and cheered for the little guy below. A little farther away, two winged maidens flapped their wings and floated in the air, dancing to encourage the little ones to go on adventures, and it was clear that they would never get tired of playing similar games many times.

On the garden near his side, there was a round tea table, and two young girls with the same faces, dressed in maid clothes, holding teapots and snack boxes in their hands, stood respectfully on either side, and on the shoulders of the short-haired maid lay a snow-white fox, the fox flicked its big fluffy tail, and looked lazy.

Next to the tea table, two soft chairs are placed on both sides of the tea table, one soft chair belongs to herself, and on the other soft chair, the flower-like fairy lady is stretching her body, lying comfortably, holding a cup of freshly brewed black tea in her hand, and her bright red lips spit out a fragrant breath, blowing away the steaming heat on the teacup.

Not far from the round table, the silver-haired priestess was sitting back to back with the little girl with long blond hair, the priestess quietly flipped through a thick book, from the outside, it was full of intellectual beauty, but on the cover of the book, Yara's adventure notes, a name full of inferior knightly novels, exposed the essence of the priestess. The little girl who was back to back with her, like a mechanical puppet, acted as the backrest of the priestess, but maybe it was an illusion, and a few flashes of light occasionally flashed back in her eyes, and countless numbers were faintly flowing in the light.

On the other side of the round table, there was a neatly trimmed bush, on both sides of the bush, tall and beautiful, the lady who was comparable to the female elf on the soft chair, was across the bush, and the girl who was short in stature, but also beautiful and lovely, quarreled fiercely, no one understood what they were arguing about, from Rama's formula to the phenomenon of Sebis, from Nacian agnosticism to Cameron's third corollary, although every word could be understood, but after being connected into a string, it became the language of another world, maybe only people from other worlds could understand it。 But both ladies could understand, at least the sarcasm they uttered, well, from the magic effects and mechanical parts that kept appearing and disappearing around them.

"The world is truly peaceful. The corners of the female knight's mouth twitched, pretending not to see anything, sat back in her own soft chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip of her favorite black tea elegantly, let out a long breath of comfort, and said leisurely: "It's a pity that it's a cloudy day, if only the weather could be clear, enjoying mellow black tea in the sun is simply the happiest thing." ”

"The matter outside is settled?" The elf didn't actually care, she cared about something else: "It's just a few years, and the races have become completely accustomed to the existence of the new race of the undead, should I praise the creatures for their ability to accept new things? ”

"It should be said that we didn't do anything because of his efforts. The female knight shook her head and said, "Besides, I am a knight, and the duty of a knight is to guard, even if I do something, it is also the right thing to do." ”

"Heh, the legendary knight who went on a mission for twenty silver coins? Even if the female elf was teasing, she was noble and elegant like a white lily blooming in a deep valley: "I heard, you saw the world on this side of the wall a few days ago?"

"Twenty silver coins are also money, and it is shameful to refuse money. The female knight was not moved at all, took another sip of black tea, and then replied softly: "Yes, I think I saw it, but I didn't expect that the world on your side is actually like this, hehe, it turns out that this is a demigod." ”

"You also understand, so the experience of becoming a demigod cannot be passed on to others, you can only rely on your own understanding, in fact, isn't this the case for every promotion?" The female elf slowly put down the teacup and brushed off a few pink fruit petals floating on the table: "How is it, how long do you think it will take for you to advance?"

"How long? maybe a day, maybe a year, maybe a hundred years. The knight shrugged and said, "Who knows what the future holds." ”

"Haha, the way you speak is more and more like him. The elf covered her mouth and chuckled, "Are you missing him in this way, Catherine, my enemy?" ”

"I just think it's a pretty good way to speak. Catherine's smile was also meaningful: "Don't you think so, Your Majesty." ”

The two beautiful ladies looked at each other in silence for a few seconds, and at the same time smiled again and raised the black teacups on the table in greeting.

"Kyle has been gone for a few years, don't you feel sad?" With a smile on his face, Vral whispered, "Aren't you ready to give up?"

"Over the years, we have experienced many new adventures, and we have lived happily here, so why should we be sad because of him? But he has never left, he has always been by our side, he has always been with us in our memories, and we can only feel happy. Hearing that heart-wrenching name, Catherine still kept her smile and answered Her Majesty's question in an affirmative tone: "As for giving up, oh, didn't you give up your majesty either? ”

"Yes, we're enemies. I don't know if with a bit of joking and a bit of seriousness, the two ladies looked at each other and smiled again, neither of them spoke anymore, but leaned back comfortably in the soft chair and looked up at the gloomy sky overhead.

"I didn't expect you to come today. After a moment, Catherine broke the silence: "Lord Odin is probably going crazy, the supreme leaders of the elves and winged people actually came to visit suddenly, and it is the most crowded and lively time, hahahaha, think about it, you know the president's expression now." ”

"There's no way, those three noisy guys ran to the royal court to find me, if I have to play with them, I can only follow them, otherwise they may not be in the royal court for a long time. Vral sighed helplessly and whispered: "Maya secretly told me that Dilly seems to have only a few decades left, and they decided to use this time to visit all the interesting places in the continent, and then, maybe the two little birds will find a way to follow the lion back to his home world, but that should be another story." ”

"They've finally decided?" Catherine asked, surprised, "what a surprise." ”

"You have to face your own heart, otherwise Kerry's regret will be repeated. Vral was stunned for a moment, then suddenly added, "I'm not encouraging you, you're an exception." ”

"I know, I know, but ...... I really miss him......" Catherine sighed softly, with a sweet smile on her face, as if she had fallen into a fond memory. Vral didn't bother her, just leisurely sipping the black tea of the human world, enjoying the idle time in the afternoon with the most elven attitude.

"Ah~~~~~" A woman's exclamation, coming from Fox Street, which had just regained its calm, interrupted Catherine's fond memories, and the female knight sat up sharply from her soft chair, grasped the one-handed sword beside her, and roared, "Pannis, what are you doing again?" ”

"Tsk, what a memory. Vral said leisurely: "As you can imagine, your previous life was really wonderful." ”

"Well, thinking a little distracted, forgetting that he hasn't come back yet. Catherine smiled wryly, embarrassed to find a way to escape: "Someone needs help, I'll go out and have a look." ”

"It was a frightened cry, not a cry of being hurt, she was just startled, there was no danger, you really couldn't hear it?" Vral asked with a smile, "Or are you actually trying to find an excuse to slip away from the embarrassment?"

"Jingle bell, jingle bell. Just as Catherine was explaining in her standard Pannisian gibberish, the doorbell outside the courtyard gate rang suddenly. The two ladies were stunned, and Catherine sighed and said, "There are still visitors? Your Majesty, sit down for a moment, and I'll be back soon. ”

After politely settling the elven queen, Catherine walked out of the garden again, and as soon as she turned the corner of the mansion, she saw a knight standing straight outside the courtyard gate, wrapped in silver armor, and leading a snow-white steed behind her. In the past few years, Catherine has slowly taken over the banner of Nelly and become a new generation model for knights, after her deeds spread, several batches of knights who come to visit will appear every month, and the number of junior knights who come to challenge in the hope of increasing their combat experience is more, therefore, the female knight has long estimated that it is a knight who comes to visit who pulls the doorbell.

With Catherine's character, of course, she would not refuse the visit of these knights, so she straightened her scales and armor and walked quickly to the open door in front of the door.

"Hello, I'm Catherine. In the style of a knight, Catherine said succinctly and directly, "What is the matter with you?" ”

"I heard that there are people here who declare war like me, and knights are not afraid of challenges, so I have come to fight. ”

"Click, click. ”

An unfamiliar female voice, and a sound like a rat rampaging in the night, came from two different directions at the same time, the unfamiliar female voice came from the knight opposite, and the strange clicking sound came from the top of the metal fence beside him.

Hearing this strange voice, Catherine exhaled deeply, and slowly, little by little, raised her head and looked up at the sky.

The sky is blue and the sun is shining.

I don't know when, the gloomy sky of the capital of knowledge has cleared. (To be continued.) )
