The In-South Mountains are not supported by a single coherent mountain root. In some faults, the continuity of the mountains is cut off by the enormous geological shear forces that have accumulated over the years, creating small intricate valleys in some areas.

In the labyrinthine valley of the labyrinthine valley, the station of the Southern Black Wings is hidden, hidden in simple colors and optical camouflage. Viewed from above, it is difficult to analyze the existence of the Southern Black Wings from the shadows of the complex mountain system unless it is compared and analyzed with centimeter-level resolution detection instruments.

As a result, the Southern Black Wings led by Evan Pam are much more low-key than the Northern Black Wings led by Francis. Even among the general public, few people know about this other part of the high-tech power that symbolizes the Black Wings.

Occasionally, climbers who want to challenge the snow-capped mountains of the Central South Mountains may see strange buildings in the same color cloaks standing quietly in the brown and white foothills of the mountain in the middle of their passes. Just when they wondered why these beings with a transcendent era appeared out of thin air on the side of the mountain road they were familiar with, often in the black corner, a person who could not see the details would jump out, and then a beam of white light would take away their temporary consciousness and the memory of seeing this place.

However, the information stored here is not absolutely confidential, although Evan is very professional in secrecy, but when the visitor's personal strength exceeds the limit of their secrecy measures, it still needs to make a big move to solve the problem, and sometimes even can only go back in disgrace.

This time, the visitors apparently came with the latter result in mind.

Although the wind between the valleys is not strong, it is close to the year-round snow line. And in this shadow, where the sun does not get direct sunlight, there is always a low temperature of more than 10 degrees below zero. In such temperatures, he still wears a thin burqa. And judging from the curves of her body that was tightly wrapped and the staff that was the same height as her, it was obvious that this Terran woman had less kindness.

Almost between breaths. The guards in black soft armor surrounded the woman, and judging by the spears that shimmered with a unique magical luster in their hands and the magic fluctuations in the air, this guard was far from the usual guard.

The girl, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, seemed to finally feel a little interested in such a formation, and she gently moved the high staff in her right hand, and a gale wind blew suddenly, and the wind and snow blew off her hood, and the flaming red hair fluttered in the plain snowflakes, and even before the ice crystals melted, the blazing heat had already greeted the entire black wing.

Tilting his head slightly, his red lips seemed to be really stained with dansha. Slightly sharp teeth grind against each other without a trace, and the slightly narrowed eyes have a strong and fiery provocation. The snowflakes that were drifting towards her had evaporated directly in mid-air before they could get closer, but in contrast, the snow beneath her feet showed no signs of melting.

"What do you mean by me coming to find someone, looking at me like that?" the girl who had scattered her black burqa to reveal a tight red dress squinted at the guards around her, "and said to Evan that Swift wanted to see him. ”

The pupils of the captain of the guard closest to her shrank suddenly, and the spear raised in his hand trembled.

"Swift, are you the -- Miss Swift of the Cross Brigade?"

Shaki Karajan Swift, the only genius demon of this century to break through the fourth level before the age of twenty. Among the non-ancient bloodline descendants of Osilia today, the pride of heaven can be as famous as the saint of the Earth Temple. Born in a commoner but has a unique talent for magic, he was appreciated by the Cross Brigade and accepted as the chief disciple of the emerging melee mage, obtained the mage certification qualification at the age of six, and claimed to have broken through the four-level bottleneck at the age of fourteen. He has become perhaps the most impressive genius in the history of peace, and one of the most terrifying weapons of the Cross Brigade's potential. Whether it is the Holy Dragon Bruce family or even the genius-gathering forces such as the Flying Flower Academy, the Holy Land or the Earth Knights, they are all dumbfounded by the achievements of this "Swift". Except for the Holy Lady of the Earth Holy Sect, who claims to be able to surpass the psychic family with spiritual power. Not even in the Holy Land can find a comparable existence.

Fame is the most powerful buff, and Terrible Fame has an even stronger effect. Even these battle-hardened elite guards. For a while, I felt overwhelmed.

The black guards in front of him suddenly parted like a tide, and Xia Qi finally retracted his extremely arrogant appearance. He turned his gaze slightly to the center of his gaze. He was also dressed in a dark ink and silver uniform, wearing a black winged armband on a red background, and the only slight difference from the people around him was a glossy leather uniform with apparently more elaborate workmanship and epaulettes encrusted with three red diamonds.

The cheeks under the short brown hair are still the outline of the memory, but the depth accumulated in the light blue eyes is no longer the superficiality of the memory. Yan Sù's expression, which should not have appeared at this age, was extremely formal at the moment.

Mi Le, a descendant of the Onyx royal family who chose to appear next to Evan in human form, also followed in the footsteps of his master, but his face was obviously not so calm, and when he saw Xia Qi standing at the front, his nervousness immediately turned into joy.

"Sister Xia Qi!"

"If I hadn't been looking for you, would you have come?" Xia Qi flicked his staff behind his back, shook his hair, and showed a natural smile, "It's been a long time since I've seen Mi Le...... And you, Evan. ”

Evan nodded a little restrainedly, and Xia Qi, who was half a head taller than him, stepped over and hugged Evan fiercely, squeezing his bones to make a clicking sound. However, Millet, which has a keel, will not make such a sound.

Seven years ago, there was not much difference between Victoria and the current Victorian province, and in the south, which is not based on secondary and tertiary industries, there is a very different atmosphere of peaceful life from the central part. The houses that are not very tall, the fields where wheat waves can be blown in the spring, and the sound of villagers playing old card games after tea and dinner are all the calling cards of this small mountain village. The name of the village may have been settled a long time ago, but five hundred years ago after the arrival of a royal elf who taught humans the elven health regimen, medicine, architecture, and the art of archery. The village began to become famous in Victoria for its exquisite bow and arrow making skills, and the name of the rural village gradually became known as the archery village.

Growing up here, Evan knew that the mysterious royal elf lived in the middle of the large banyan tree in the middle of the village. But he had never seen the beautiful elf who was said to have brought soul and prosperity to the archer's village. As a result, peeking in from the window of the hollow of the big banyan tree became a different kind of memory of his childhood.

At that time. Evan often stood under the tree, Xia Qi stepped on his shoulder, and Miller, who was not yet in human form, shook his wings and dragged Xia Qi's clothes, and put his little face against the glass window.

Despite this, none of them ever succeeded, and even when Shaki proudly claimed that she had seen Helina wiping her longbow in a hollow in a tree, Evan sulked that he was always used as a ladder.

Ordinary time flies quickly, and the past days are like several bright dots on a number line, divided into lines of different lengths. Started school, met Miller - and Xia Qi was taken away by her father.

At that time, Evan didn't know what kind of thing the Flying Flower Temple was. He was only in his first year of elementary school, and he thought that the place where Xia Qi and her father were going was just another school, and he had no idea how much of a difference this separation would bring. On the day of separation, they were still children, and they didn't know what the melancholy of parting was like. He, Millet and Xia Qi, the three childhood friends, after Xia Qi left, still used childish brushstrokes to put on paper, passing the little things in life through the shallow bay of Victoria and Osilia on letterhead.

“...... I've been chosen as a magician......"

“...... I have to eat a lot of unpalatable things every day, and I really want to eat the baked potatoes made by Grandpa Stan......"

“...... Mile is eating more and more, and my brother doesn't like it very much......"

“...... My teacher has changed, so harshly said, I hate him the most......

“...... My brother graduated. He was going to study farm management at the National University...... Now I'm the only one left in the house, and Camilla writes to him a lot, and she writes much better than you......"

“...... Sister Xia Qi, I'm going to transform myself! I'll send you a few photos another day......"

“...... Millet and I went on a trip, and I was going to continue my studies at a place called Black Wings. I am grateful that they were able to help us. ”

“...... I don't know why, I moved to the Northeast, and the environment there is not so adaptable. The teacher is so strict, I really don't want to learn anymore. ”

“...... For the first time, we were given a formal mandate organizationally. It was a great job and Miss Radiant personally rewarded us ......"

“...... I seem to have broken through level four, but why do they still keep a straight face? Am I not doing well? I'm so annoyed that I want to go back to the village......"

"I don't go back on vacation, my brother is taking care of the house, and I don't have time. I can't see you again......"

“...... I won't be allowed to go back on vacation - I don't even know where I am now......"

There were a dozen letters in the drawer, and then I don't know when, the letter I sent again was returned because "there is no such person", and there was no letter from Xia Qi.

At that time, he knew what kind of role Xia Qi had become, maybe it was not her own choice, but the costume that everyone in this world was forced to wear was still the color of others.

He must believe that that Xia Qi is not the real Xia Qi. Her surname is Swift, and it is not a swift that gallops along a ballistic trajectory.

"Sister Xia Qi, I must get you drunk today!"

"What's so suspicious about this!" Xia Qi held up the cup with one finger, "You can fit me in the belly of a big stupid dragon—"

"Yo! this isn't the Swift I remember!" Evan raised his glass in the second-floor private room of the Black Wings Cafeteria, "The last few years - don't think about it anymore. ”

Xia Qi's glass had just touched her lips, she put down her glass a little playfully, and leaned sideways to Evan's side: "Ask you something, how are you doing here?"

Evan hurriedly waved his hand away for a distance, "This problem is too big to explain! I don't even read tens of thousands of words on it!"

"Don't play stupid!" Xia Qi shouted, holding himself and his two glasses and pouring the red wine directly into Evan's mouth. Evan choked and blushed, and Xia Qi stopped Millet from patting Evan on the back. He looked at him coldly.

"I ...... How do I cough up...... Ahem!-"

Xia Qi raised the bottle menacingly and looked at Evan condescendingly. Evan suddenly shrunk in his chair, not daring to move.

"Sister Xia Qi has always been the master's nemesis!" Mi Le filled Evan's quilt, "The master usually has a dead fish face in front of others, who dares to talk to him ......like this?" Well, I'm going to close the door and make the sound insulation by the way. ”

Say. Xia Qi deliberately grimaced her face and poked Evan's forehead with her fingertips.

"I didn't ...... No, really not - Miller, testify. I've never been single in a few years, right?" stammered Evan.

Miller looked very interested and nodded, Xia Qi turned her face like a book, grabbed a cup and stuffed it into Evan's hand, and circled the table with a big grin.

"Yes, I wish my swift Xia Qi a happy day of rebirth!!"

Then Evan and Millet slammed their cups with Xia Qi for some reason, and poured several more glasses.

The absurd conversations and absurd behaviors continued for several hours, until midnight. Even Miller, whose body is an agate dragon, is a little unsteady on his feet, but Xia Qi can still magically drain the wine inside without breaking the bottle and wine glass, and seeing that this one-meter-eight girl can still pour herself steadily, Evan and Miller are blind.

"Sister—I'm talking about Sister Xiaqi!" Apparently Evan doesn't have the ability to organize language now. can only lie on the table and be semi-conscious of the situation," - for, for. Why do you say today is - it's yours...... The day of rebirth?"

Xia Qi pulled out the staff behind the chair and slammed it on the table. Then he ripped off the canvas that was wrapped around him.

"Can you see anything special?"

Millet leaned over to the table, and the black magic scepter as tall as Xia Qi was only unactivated. It already revealed a strong wave of dark elements, and the whole body was pitch black, made of some unknown black metal with a very large proportion. However, the biggest difference between this and ordinary staff is that there is no actual staff head and magic crystal, judging from the special hollow pattern of the black staff, the lutetium crystal the size of a pigeon's egg is embedded in the black metal, connected into a string, running through the entire staff.

"Miller!" she proudly raised her staff with one hand, looking at the dark gray luster under the chandelier, "believe it or not, if you cut off half of the black rose, you can open a 100-square-meter shop on Violet Street!"

"Sister Xia Qi's words, how dare you not believe it-" Miller rubbed his reddened eyes, "That-...... that thing"

Xia Qi grabbed the unique staff called "Black Rose" and knocked the dragon horn on Mi Le's head, "Finally, it's no longer a tool of the Cross Brigade!"

"Cross Brigade...... Oh, by the way, I remembered-here, Xia Qi, you were picked up by your father, and you said that your father was from the Flying Flower Temple?...... At that time, I wondered why you became a member of the Cross Brigade for some reason-"

"-yes!" Xia Qi slapped the table, "Do you know how they hide from the old lady? those superficial little people!--eh, do you know that there is a demon of the Blood Moon Descendant who is called the commander of the legion, and he is helping the guy named Francis in the north?"

Miller nodded, "See, I've met a few times." It's like it's called, what's it called—"

"Whatever his name is, that's not the point - by the way, the Cross Brigade dug that guy out of lesbain about ten years ago. After studying it for a while, it was determined that he had once been a fifth-level guy. ”

"Level 5?" Of course, Miller had no idea about the extreme heights that no one had reached in his time.

"Then they cut off the wings of that poor demon, you know, those guys can think of anything, and then say what kind of blood in it contains fifth-level memories that can make us break through fifth-level or something...... Anyway, they talked about the Holy Land, the Temple, and the Flying Flower Courtyard or something—" Xia Qi said to herself, constantly waving the black rose in her hand that looked very lethal, and Mi Le had to stagger and dodge, "The Holy Land disdains this ethereal thing, and besides, they have the Sinas Suppression Formation...... The temple, that one called Kelly, was hyped up or something, for a while...... They didn't care anyway. In the end, Feihuayuan moved his mind. So we wanted to exchange something, but. The kind of things that are hard to find, they ask for a sky-high price. We're not gods, so we can't get what they say. At that time, I was much stronger than the second lady of the Flying Flower Academy, Xue Qingji, so their original plan was for me to receive the transplant of the Demon Clan's wings, and then break through the fifth level in the next few years. ”

"Who wouldn't have thought of this?" Miller forced Xia Qi to throw Black Rose on the table, "so ?......"

"Venelin!" Xia Qi replied with the Elven word "correct", "the terms of the deal are that I was sold to the Cross Brigade, and then as a matter of course, I got the wings and transplanted them to the second lady, Xue Qingji—there was nothing in between. The place of the Cross Brigade is far less humane than that of the Flying Flower Courtyard, and every day I know training, training, and training - the old lady can run out of it alive, what a blessing in my life!"

"Smack!" Tense face, Xia Qi fiercely smashed a cup to the ground, startling Millet, and Evan was also agitated and messily propped up.

"How...... What's wrong?" asked Evan sleepily.

"It's nothing!" Xia Qi became angry. The smell of wine also dissipated a lot, and he directly put a pair of long legs on the table, grabbed a bottle of wine and began to pour it directly, "I didn't know until a while ago when I was deceived." The demon clan who had his wings cut off was not a good stubble, and he led a team of people to directly tear the wings off the second miss - in other words, although the second miss has really made great progress in recent years, but I still have eight hundred miles with the old lady!!-"

"Hey, hey, hey...... Xia Qi, you take it easy. It's—"

"What's the call?!" Xia Qi glared back, and Evan shrank back in fright. "Later, the wings were returned to their original owners, and they were lost in the Crusader's lair. They couldn't get over the face, so they gave it back to Feihuayuan--it's ridiculous! The old lady will never give anyone another life in her life!!, what Feihuayuan, the Cross Brigade, and Han Litai are all going to die!!-"

After saying so much, Xia Qi lost most of her strength, threw the black rose to the ground with a "bang", lay on the table and stared at Evan and said, "Don't say anything about solicitation at this time, I really agreed on impulse." ”

Evan couldn't cry or laugh, and stretched out his hand to rub Xia Qi's hair, "Isn't your father still in the Flying Flower Courtyard? No matter how you say it, you can't be completely comfortable! Besides, how can you have a completely free life?"

"I understand...... I don't need you to preach. Xia Qi buried her head in her arm, "Isn't it just angry talk, we are not the same as before - what we used to say when we were angry can be taken seriously, but now it can only become a joke, I really want to go back to ...... when I was a child"

"This kind of thing you discuss with the Lord of Time, Lenna. Evan leaned directly on Miller, "Isn't it good to be with your dad...... Like I haven't been home for over a year, if you're passing through Sagittarius Village, please say hello to my parents, brothers, and Camila Maria on my behalf. ”

"Done. Xia Qi turned around and threw his arm behind the chair, "We are not the children we used to be, I can do anything I can do...... Time is tight, I'll have to leave tomorrow, and let them know that I've been here not very well, after all, they can find out if we have a good relationship - when the time comes, I'm afraid, not good - forget it, what do you want to do so much...... Evan Miller, the day I'm still alive, it's Swift Xia Qi, it's your best friend, don't play yin with me, I can see it, and you don't need to be polite to me, I hate that set of things - what kind of request to say it directly, you have to be like this with my mother, understand?!"

"Ming, understood......" Evan nodded against Miller's head, staggered over and dragged Xia Qi, who was almost about to slide off the chair, and pulled her out of the box with Miller, and the guards who had been standing outside immediately took Xia Qi, who was about to fall unconscious, from Evan.

"That's right!" While Evan was watching the guards carry Xia Qi to her room, Xia Qi suddenly stretched out her arm and pointed at Evan, and then pointed around, "Evan Pam, remember that you have long been my reservation, Mi Le, you supervise me, don't let the small fish and shrimp be robbed somewhere...... Not...... Whew......"

"Sister Xia Qi, I understand!" Mi Le patted his head, supported Evan in a stunned state, and looked around at the guards who were staring at them with too stiff eyes.

"She, it's funny that she's drunk too much......" Evan said in a daze. Miller quietly pinched him on the waist. (To be continued......)
