Chapter Seventy-Five: A Distinguished Guest from the Fire (I)
When Jacob and Natasha got out of the hut, they didn't know what to say for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Walking side by side in the forest, the mist floats softly in the air like a white veil. The sun shines like golden sand, pouring through the tiny cracks of the woods.
There is a blue lake near the hut, which is as clear as a mirror, and the water is slightly rippling, and the blue waves are thousands of acres.
Plop, plop, a few stones were kicked into the water by Jacob.
Jacob had been looking for an opportunity to thank Natasha, and suddenly learned from the chief that Natasha's protection of him along the way was against the will of the clan, and he was going to be punished for himself, and his heart was struggling.
It's just that my identity has changed, and I'm in the way, but I don't know how to speak, thinking that this little girl has lost her free body because she saved herself, and she must hate me very much.
With this in mind, Jacob stole a glance at Natasha.
Unexpectedly, instead of being worried, this little girl was happy, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, her eyes were slightly closed, and her steps fell lightly on the soft grass felt.
In the delicate sunlight, in this glimpse, this woman is like a picture of birth.
Natasha seemed to notice the burning gaze and frowned slightly.
"Hey, Jacob, what are you looking at?"
Jacob only looked at himself, he was already in a trance, how could he have expected that this little girl would suddenly turn her head, and suddenly look at each other, so embarrassed.
"Ah...... Yes...... It's nothing...... It's just that it's all my ......."
Natasha saw Jacob's unscrupulous appearance, and seemed to have seen through his thoughts early in the morning, and waved her hand without mind.
His eyes stayed on Jacob for a while, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he said with a slight hint of playfulness: "Hmm...... Jacob, look at yourself like this...... It seems to ......"
"Seems like what?!"
"Poof......
With a burst of laughter like silver bells, Natasha had already run forward, leaving Jacob alone.
After hesitating for a moment, he reacted, and chased towards the road ahead angrily and anxiously.
"Huh...... Natasha, wait for me...... You little girl, why don't you tell me quickly, what do I seem to be now......"

Wind erosion.
The land of yellow sand, the wilderness of loess.
Decades of drought have been intermittent, and the people of the entire wind-eroded land have suffered unspeakably in natural disasters.
There are also stubborn people who have migrated and fled to death, and those who die of thirst die of thirst.
Even the descendants of the god of wind are dying and emigrating.
Only this Xize Canyon has become the pearl of the entire wind-eroded land, I don't know whether there is an inexplicable water source underground, or relying on the protection of the gods, for decades like a day, the population is not extinguished, just like a green cottage in the desert, living alone, just one side alone.
Nishizawa Tavern.
Outside the window, the autumn rain fell on the narrow leaves of several fir trees, and the leaves made a small sound of rustling with the raindrops.
This bitter cold came earlier than in previous years, and every year it was like this, and the cold got worse and worse.
Only this sudden rain was something that no one expected.
The two figures were under the fire, drinking cup after cup, the aroma of wine was fragrant, and it went straight into the heart, which was really mouth-watering.
The red fire, as if two fire dragons were entangled, was so hot that the whole room swayed gently.
Woohoo.
As the bronze conical glass of black wine fills up, the sound of the wine entering the bottle becomes more and more shrill.
In the darkness, an old man's voice sounded slowly.
"Tim, how long has it been raining?"
"Grandpa, it's been seven days and seven nights. ”
The old man let out an exclamatory sound.
"It's strange that there hasn't been such a heavy rain in a wind-eroded area for decades. ”
Tim listened and gently lowered the wine cup in his hand, and the foot of the glass fell on the table with a crisp snap.
"Looking at the wind-eroded fortress being washed in blood, this rain falling again, and the long-term drought is raining, is it possible that this Edward is really a disaster star of the wind-eroded land......"
"Shut up. The old man looked nervous and motioned for Tim to shut his mouth, and said nothing more about the matter.
"How many times have I said that we should never meddle in matters concerning the Holy See, even if we talk about it for a long time, this is the principle. ”
Tim didn't care, smiling and shaking his head.
"Grandpa's lesson is that Fang is Tim reckless and open-mouthed. ”
Then he respectfully refilled the old man.
An old man and a young man immediately diverted the topic, and when the atmosphere was harmonious, there was a sudden gust of wind in the house.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
Suddenly, the window and door opened, swaying continuously, as if someone was playing a prank, and as if an evil spirit had come to the door, the movement was very great, and it was very terrifying.
After nightfall, this Nishizawa Gorge is very lively except for the tavern, and the rest of the place is sparsely populated and very desolate. Only tonight was particularly strange, not to mention that there were very few pedestrians on the road, and there was not even a single regular customer in the tavern, only a few strangers who asked for directions, like thieves, begged for a glass of sweet wine and left in a hurry.
A lot of strange things are added together, which is really worrying.
Although Tim was still young, he was a little scared, but as the bartender of Nishizawa Tavern, he had seen a lot since he was a child, and he had never encountered any strange things and strange people, so he calmed his mind and shouted out the window.
"Who is it?"
Seeing that no one answered, Tim timidly added: "Your Excellency hurry up and show up, why pretend to be a ghost here." ”
This latter sentence is just a matter of not making up, so one plus is a dog's tail mink, which is obviously less confident than the previous sentence, and it looks very clumsy.
The old man couldn't help but shake his head when he saw his grandson look so stupid.
Say to yourself: "A child is a child......"
"Tim, this wind is not coming from the outside, but from the inside. ”
"What!? It's from the inside. ”
Tim listened to this, and his eyes added some vigilance, and he slammed the window door shut, and began to look around, only to see that his grandfather's finger was pointing in the direction of the stove in the house.
Momentarily refreshed, he came closer, and looked into the furnace.
I saw that between the dark blue stone walls in the room, a bronze stove was burning, and the raging flames were trembling violently at the moment, and there was a whining sound.
"Grandpa, it's really the sound of this stove......"
Unexpectedly, before Tim's words fell, the fire in the furnace suddenly increased without warning, and almost burst out from between the stone walls.
The color of the flame also gradually changed to light purple, and it trembled violently, which was very weird.
Shhh
This time, even the sound in the furnace became more and more eerie, as if it was the clamor of all kinds of monsters.
This scene is a bad omen. Even the grandfather, who had always been calm, couldn't sit still this time, his voice was slightly panicked, and he hurriedly ordered his grandson.
"Tim, don't put out this fire yet!"
"What...... But ......"
Rumble.
With a huge thunderbolt outside the window, the volley was painted in the air.
The yin wind was urgent, and the robes of the two flew sideways.
Immediately after that, a purple light suddenly flashed in the small stove, and the light was so dazzling that it lit up the entire room in an instant. Although the grandfather and grandson didn't know what was in front of them, they still subconsciously covered their eyes.
Click, click.
With the sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground, it landed at Tim's feet.
Tim secretly complained in his heart, and only covered his eyes tighter to himself. I thought that I must have said something rebellious just now, but now this Edward Lord has appeared underground, and I am afraid that he has summoned some monsters to come out of this furnace.
The atmosphere was oppressive.
However, grandpa opened his mouth in advance, not in a hurry, and asked calmly.
"Who are you?"
What?!Is it a human??Not a monster?
Tim listened, and then loosened the hand covering his eyes a little. Through the narrow gap between the fingers, I saw two young people sitting in front of me.
One male, one female.
Although the woman's appearance is moving, her eyes are sharp, her face is exaggerated, she is very cold, and her pride is written on her face.
The men, on the other hand, look more embarrassed, unkempt, thin, with messy hair and dirty clothes.
As for this face......
"Huh......" Tim exclaimed when he saw this.
"You're the young man you rescued from the Wind Erosion Fortress?"
