Chapter 20: The Holy City of Zhaoyue
Speaking of this Princess Zhaoyue, it is a beautiful scenery, take Zhaoyue City, which is generous for her father, a city is bigger than a vassal country. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 It is unique in the world that Saint-Emo is able to receive such favor, and only St. Elmo, a great country that has been handed down from ancient times, has such financial resources. From the moment she was born, she was destined to be extraordinary, surrounded by princes and nobles, and followed by guards when she went out. No one knows why the king and queen only had one daughter, only that Princess Zhaoyue has supreme power, she is the lord of Zhaoyue City, and here she can not even follow her father's orders.
As for the princess's name, it is said that the queen took it, and the king did not add his own surname to her, so accommodating that the world had to start paying attention to this proud daughter of heaven.
"I'd like to talk to both of you alone. The princess's tone was very gentle, without that feeling of arrogance, and when she spoke, she looked at Qin Mo and Xuan Xi, and Pan Dee grabbed Isadela and went out.
Could it be that I was caught cheating! It wouldn't be that the princess would come forward to arrest me personally, right? Qin Mo thought to himself.
"I guess both of you have guessed the purpose of my visit, and I would like to invite you to join Saint-Elmo. Zhaoyue said straight to the point.
"Not interested. Xuan Xi replied surprisingly quickly.
Qin Mo didn't expect Xuan Xi to have this attitude, she didn't even look at Zhao Yue.
"In short, both of you are one in a million talents, and I hope to consider it more, I promise to treat you as a guest of honor and confer a first-class title. Zhao Yue smiled a little embarrassedly, and did not be a little stunned, but continued to find ways to lure, and the first feeling to Qin Mo was that this woman was not ordinary.
"You saw it all?" Qin Mo was referring to Xuan Xi's help to himself, since the princess invited him to join Xuan Xi, she naturally saw something.
Of course, the princess knew what Qin Mo said, nodded with a smile, and continued: "This is an unfair duel, she actually made the last move to help you stop Auston's attack." ”
Every year in the rookie competition, Saint Amo will have a lot of forces to choose excellent newcomers to train for their own use, this is the first time the princess attended the newcomer competition, and she met excellent candidates, for which she is very satisfied. Xuan Xi is a hidden master, young and promising, unlike Gray of the Wind Spirit Country, according to the investigation, she has not joined any forces, while Qin Mo has great potential, and his life experience is even more mysterious, and he has not found out a single piece of information.
Qin Mo leaned down on the chair and looked at this young but steady and mature princess, who was only a teenager, and it seemed that the environment had a great impact on people. Qin Mo was new here, he didn't understand anything, he didn't know what kind of country Saint Emmo was, and besides, he didn't care about the power, as long as it didn't affect his own interests, so he set his eyes on Xuan Xi, who still didn't speak.
"I'll take care of it for you over there, and I promise they won't give you any trouble. Seeing that Qin Mo still couldn't make up her mind, the princess continued.
Qin Mo hadn't thought about these questions yet, but hearing the princess say this reminded himself that Auston, a despicable person, pretended to be everyone at the beginning, and then he still acted shamelessly, what else could he not do? But listening to Zhaoyue's words, the implication was that he had no choice? If he didn't add Saint Emme, then he would face Auston's revenge alone.
"Are you threatening me?" Qin Mo asked with a smile.
"Don't be in a hurry, you can come to St. Elmo at any time after you have considered it, take this, and no one will stop you. Zhao Yue handed Qin Mo a card engraved with a golden crescent, and red filled its vacancy, forming a circle with the crescent.
Zhaoyue walked up to Xuan Xi, stretched out her hand to pick up a handful of Xuan Xi's hair, and said quietly: "People are beautiful, and their hair is so beautiful, and my mother also has such beautiful long hair as you." With that, he turned around and pushed the door open and left.
No wonder Zhaoyue looks very different, it turns out that she is of mixed race, presumably her mother is also of a similar race to herself.
After Zhaoyue left, Pandey and Isadela entered the room, and when they saw that the atmosphere was not right, they did not dare to speak.
Qin Mo asked Xuan Xi why his attitude was so bad, but Xuan Xi just glanced at him, making Qin Mo dare not continue to ask. Although they have not been together for a long time, they can still see Xuan Xi's abnormality, although she usually doesn't like to talk and her fighting methods are cruel, but she is still very gentle and polite to ordinary people, Qin Mo couldn't help but start to guess.
"Have you noticed those two guards?" Xuan Xi said to the three of them, and the two guards were all at the fourth-order level.
This information undoubtedly shocked the three of them, the princess's outing was accompanied by a fourth-order master, and there was more than one, you know, it is extremely rare to be above the fourth order nowadays. Qin Mo was also lucky, as soon as he came, he arrived at the ancient tree and caught up with the competition day, and met so many masters, even the fifth-order elder Yucas. He would never think that the people he just met were all about the same strength as himself, and he wouldn't believe it himself.
That princess's strength was even more unfathomable, and Xuan Xi couldn't even see how far her spiritual power had reached. There are only two situations: one is that she is not a martial artist at all, she has no spiritual power, which is almost impossible, and a commoner will be more or less a little, but she can't reach the level of becoming a martial artist, not to mention that she was born in the royal family and is more sensitive to the honor of a martial artist......;
It's really perverted, Yukas is so old as a fifth-order magician, and all of these fourth-order masters are so young, they really have reached the peak of cultivation. What's even more rare is that female cultivators are not inferior to men at all, Han Yun, Xuan Xi, and Zhao Yue...... This reminded Qin Mo of his own world, women are getting better and better, and there are many women in the top few in the class. The world is changing, it is no longer the era of the ancient era when the world won the world by force, and in this world of brilliant martial arts, you don't need to have a strong physique, as long as your natural physique is suitable for cultivation. To put it bluntly, talent matters everywhere.
"This old immortal is really angry with me!" At this time, Yucas walked in angrily, scolding as he went, "I was kind enough to visit him, but I didn't see him behind closed doors." ”
The four of them looked at Yucas speechlessly, who else is older than you in the Cangling Ancient Tree?
"Xiao Mo, you have to be careful, maybe they are already preparing a revenge plan. Yukas reminded, "Xuan Xi, you have to ensure Qin Mo's safety at all times. ”
"Of course I know that. ”
"What should I do at night, will I be assassinated?, am I going to move in with them?"
"You're thinking too much...... You don't have to worry about that. Xuan Xi was also speechless.
The elder sat in Qin Mo's room for a while, seeing that his injuries were not so serious, and he was also relieved.
"It's okay to go to the library these days and sit down, it's quiet and easy to rest, and no one dares to be presumptuous there. The elder said.
It was not early, several people were ready to leave, and the hut that was originally still a little lively suddenly became deserted, this was the first time that there was such a feeling, although it was not far away, Qin Mo felt like living in the wilderness.
"Really, like I'm going to get revenge. Qin Mo muttered to himself, turned off the lantern and prepared to sleep, and the dark room became even quieter.
What was that strange sound during the battle today? Could it be the reason for the wooden spear? Tomorrow I will have to pay a visit to the gentleman, I heard that it is Carter, the patriarch of the warrior tribe.
There was a sound of rain outside the window, this was the first rain Qin Mo encountered in the ancient tree. The rain did not fall directly on the roof, but through the dense foliage, the original heavy rain became dripping and hit the windows briskly. Through the glass, you can see the hazy blue light outside, which is the effect of the tree powder melting in the rain, no one will believe that outside this fantastic ancient tree, there is a raging sea under the roar of the wind, the waves are as high as 100 meters, fortunately there was a warning before, fishing boats and merchant ships have not gone to sea.
The wind rustled the leaves, and then there was a discordant knock on the door, and it was just a moment, maybe something fell and smashed. But Qin Mo saw a dark shadow covering the blurred window, which made him have to be vigilant, it couldn't be really a killer sent by the Pfister family, right? Qin Mo didn't have a weapon in his hand, the iron gun was "cremated" during the day, he hurriedly got dressed, the clothes that Han Yun left for him and Xuan Xi wore. Like grasping a life-saving straw, Qin Mo planned to break the window and flee immediately if someone rushed in, but the black shadow by the window was motionless, was it blocking the exit?
There was only the sound of wind and rain outside, was it just some other sound? But what could explain the dark shadow outside the window, which still didn't move? He wanted to yell and kick the door open and slam it for a while, it was better than the fear of not knowing what was going on, but where to find a weapon.
I don't know how long it took, Qin Mo's eyes that had been staring at the black shadow were also tired, after all, the battle was too fierce during the day, and he needed to rest. After a while, Qin Mo shrank at the head of the bed and fell asleep.
"!" When he opened his eyes again, Qin Mo's soul was almost gone, and his heart was in his throat.
For he saw on the windowsill a pale face, not bloody, but a pair of blood-red eyes staring at him, it was a human head! The raindrops on the glass had dried up, and it could not be clearer, it was a human head! It turned out that this thing was pretending to be a ghost last night.
It's a bit of a gaffe, but it's no wonder that a person who quietly watches you sleep all night will be covered in hair.
Pushing open the door, there was still a little water on the front steps, some dark red, which should be unwashed bloodstains. There was a battle here last night, and if you think about it, you know that it was Xuan Xi who intercepted the killer sent by Auston. But she was also responsible for this prank. Qin Mo looked up and looked high, Isa Della was lying on the railing outside the treehouse and beckoning to him, with a sweet smile. When arranging accommodation, it should have been thought about, Xuan Xi's house could clearly grasp Qin Mo's movements here, and when he went to see Isa Della for the first time, Qin Mo saw his own room outside the house. At the time, I still felt that I was being watched, but now I think about it, it can be regarded as the good intentions of the elders.
There is no corpse outside the door, it should have been cleaned up, and such a big head on the windowsill will not be missed, someone did it on purpose! Qin Mo looked at the open door in the distance angrily, how much he hoped that Xuan Xi would come out at this time, and then kill her with his eyes.
