Section 9: Zero Dust's First Encounter
"It's a nice name...... But I still can't go with you. Kirin shook his head and continued to shrink behind the tree. The man was not in a hurry, just stood coldly, looking at him with a blank face.
Qi Ling was very uncomfortable by his gaze, and he still didn't calm down, so he couldn't help but lose his words: "You...... Did you save me? I ...... last night? I remember feeling like I had been cut open by a few knives......" Kirin scratched his head, as if he also thought the description was a bit weird, "Are you a doctor?"
“...... I'm not a doctor. Yinchen took a deep breath and rubbed his eyebrows, his expression looking a little angry, "When I came, you were lying there sleeping. Silver Dust regained his indifferent expression.
"This gentleman, I was really dying before...... Qi Ling thought about it, and didn't know how to explain it to him, after all, not everyone believes in such a thing as a soul beast or a soul magician, so he changed the subject, "Hey, forget it, you don't necessarily understand it after telling you." By the way, did you see a sister in that hole when you came, over there, about two or three years older than me, and she was very good-looking, did you see her?"
Yinchen looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes were as silent as stagnant water, "I didn't see it." ”
Qi Ling looked at Yinchen's half-drooping eyes, and felt that he had always had an expression of "I'm not happy". "You're not in a good mood. ”
Silver Dust: "...... I'm in a good mood. ”
Kirin: "But you seem to be feeling depressed. ”
Silver Dust: "I ......"
Silver Dust took a deep breath, clenched his fists, tried to stay calm, and walked towards Qi Ling, "Don't talk nonsense, follow me, go to Grant." ”
"Ge...... Grant?" Qi Ling was so excited that his eyebrows fluttered, "Imperial Capital, are you going to take me to the Imperial Capital?" However, Qi Ling suddenly became vigilant and hid behind the tree, "Why? You can't be a human trafficker, right? No, no, no...... I have to rush back to the post station, I don't know what happened over there, if I don't go back, the proprietress will definitely scold me to death, and I grew up here, my life has not been ......"
Before Qi Ling finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his entire mouth was cold and bitingly cold, and he spit it out a few mouthfuls, and his tongue was numb.
"It's noisy. Yinchen half-narrowed his eyes and looked at the "sealed" Qi Ling, rubbed his eyebrows, and his expression finally looked a little comfortable, as if he was enjoying the tranquility at the moment. His clear eyes looked like a pair of expensive sapphires in the light: "From the day you became the [Apostle], your previous life will not have any meaning. ”
"What is the Apostle?" asked Qi Ling vaguely with his tongue, which was so cold that he didn't listen.
"Haven't you heard of the Apostles?"
"Haven't heard ......"
"Do you know soul arts?"
"Won't ......"
“......”
Yinchen looked at the heroic young man in front of him, but he still hadn't completely shed his childishness, his expression was full of fear, but he didn't have a weak heart. It is clear that he is telling the truth.
Silver Dust sighed, not knowing what the hell [Silver Priest] was thinking, it felt like a joke on him. I can only take him back to Grant and ask the [Silver Priest] in person. Silver Dust walked towards Qi Ling.
"You...... Will you kill me......" Qiling asked nervously as he hid behind a tree with his fingers grasping the trunk.
A gentle and clear feeling like spring water flows through the heart of Silver Dust. There is a very distant but familiar feeling. Yinchen was stunned for a moment, and then, he smiled softly, his eyebrows and eyes stretched, and he looked extremely handsome. He showed his neat white teeth, whispered in a nice and gentle voice, and said to Qi Ling, "Don't worry, it won't." I won't kill you, I'll protect you. ”
【West of the Aslan Empire・Port City of Rennes】
Lianquan found a hotel to stay.
She was half-dressed on the bed, silent in the darkness with her eyes closed.
The two inn bronze lamps at the head of the bed were not lit. Her face was hidden in the darkness, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.
Outside the window, the round moon hung high above the sea, and the moonlight was shaken by the wind on the surface of the sea into a shimmering piece of silver. Several fishing boats, large and small, are still moored offshore, not back to shore. There are sporadic yellow lights on the fishing boats, which rise and fall with the waves on the sea.
A transparent ripple fluctuated almost imperceptibly.
Lianquan opened his eyes in the darkness.
Her body suddenly oozed a layer of pale golden smoke in silent silence, and then quickly dissipated into the darkness.
She still didn't move. Time passed slowly in a dead silence.
A ripple that was slightly stronger than just now rippled through the air. It's like a ring of wind.
"Looks like this time ......," Renquan whispered, "there's a monster ......"
The moonlight illuminates the main road of Rennes in a silvery white, and the huge stone pillars carved with various mythical beasts stand on both sides of the road, and at each distance, there are white marble flower beds with abundant flowers, and the occasional fountain along the road is decorated with sporadic decorations, all of which symbolize the prosperity and wealth of Rennes.
At the moment, there are no pedestrians in the empty night city. Only the high parapet walls, the night guards carrying oil lamps slowly walked around the city.
Suddenly, a few jingling sounds sounded softly and pleasantly in the quiet of the night. The sound came from outside the city, and after a while, it rang a few more times, and it could be heard that the sound was gradually approaching the city of Rennes.
【West no Aslan Empire・Outside Fukuzawa Town】
"We don't have to go to Fuze Town, it's already ...... there," Silver Dust stopped and didn't continue.
Qi Ling, who was following behind Silver Dust, nodded dumbly. He looked up in the direction of the village, where it was pitch black and there were no lights. At night, only the outlines of collapsed buildings could be seen, and the whole town seemed to have experienced an earthquake or a hurricane. He remembered the scene when he escaped from the inn, and the whole village could be seen splattered with blood and internal organs...... Thinking of this, a sad look appeared on Qi Ling's face.
Silver Dust looked at the Qiling in front of him and sighed softly: "Let's start directly from here and go to Rennes Harbor to take a boat, that is the easiest and fastest way to get to Grant. ”
Qi Ling nodded, his expression a bit like a small animal that had been discarded.
When Yinchen arrived at Fuze last night, he thought he was too late. From the market at the entrance of the village to the post station in the depths of the village, there are sharp icicles of all sizes rising from the ground. Some of the icicles had a corpse directly tattooed on them, and on the messy ice cubes on the ground, you could see frozen organs from time to time, and the whole town seemed to be gnawed by demons. Sensing the trail of soul power remaining in the air, he chased it all the way to the depths of the forest outside the town, and then saw Kirin lying quietly on the ground and sleeping.
Silver Dust looked at the sad Qiling in front of him, slowly walked towards him, and stretched out his hand to Qiling.
Kirin didn't speak, but his pupils trembled, and it was obvious that he felt fear.
Silver Dust approached him gently and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Silverdust lifted his hand to his face, fingertips gently touching the skull behind his ear. "There may be a little bit of a tingling sensation, but it's okay, you bear with it. ”
Silver Dust's fingertips clasped the scalp on the back of Qi Ling's head, and a few traces of cold force pierced Qi Ling's scalp like a sharp needle.
The cold touch that suddenly rushed into the back of his head made Qi Ling's heart instantly grasped by fear.
But the people who are really afraid are silver dust.
Originally, he was just going to try to inject a few traces of soul power into Qi Ling's body, which was used to test Qi Ling's body's reaction to soul power and the structural attributes of his body. However, the few traces of soul power thorns released by Silver Dust for perception had just entered Qi Ling's body, and they disappeared without a trace in an instant. Moreover, as an ordinary person who didn't even know what an "apostle" was, and didn't know soul art at all, the soul power contained in his body was like an endless ocean, wantonly rolling monstrous waves.
Silver Dust finally determined that Qiling was indeed the [Apostle] that the [Silver Priest] had asked him to find, and the Silver Priest was not joking with himself.
