In December of the fifth and sixth year of the Altino calendar, Reinsji reigned

The explosion rumbled loudly, the smoke was filled, and the city wall was under strong bombardment, and thousands of mechanical dogs, after approaching the city wall, opened their mouths and spat out chaotic fire crossbows, one after another, bombarding the city wall quickly and intensively, putting the defensive barrier of Jixia City under great pressure.

The defensive barrier of Jixia City is divided into several layers, mainly for the direct attack of the heavenly power and the interference of magic use, but for physical attacks, there is also a certain degree of defensive effect, and after reducing the attack power as much as possible, it will hit the city wall directly, and the enchantment contained in the city wall itself will be loaded.

Under the continuous bombardment of these mechanical dogs, the invisible barrier outside the city wall can no longer be effectively suppressed, so that the explosive power of the chaotic fire crossbow directly hits the city wall, and begins to put pressure on the defense system of Jixia City, of course, it can be done to continue to support, just to reduce the load, the defending side also has to take some active measures.

Under the continuous bombardment of these small chaotic fire crossbows, even a master who is good at the King Kong body of the Shi family will become a pile of burnt ribs after receiving more than ten of them.

In this case, if you still want to take the initiative, you can only mobilize the heavenly masters in the city, but at this time......

"Bastard brother! It's so irresponsible to run away alone at this time!"

Niel jumped off the city, and the Heavenly Demon Gong condensed, and blasted to the ground. The shock wave of the explosion burst out in all directions, but it couldn't break her protective true qi, and as soon as her feet stood still, she immediately used her palm to destroy the surrounding mechanical dogs.

The last time she fought with Han Te, Nier realized that she was not good enough, and hoped to pursue improvement in this area, but Gengoro was not there, lacked the guidance of the Master, and ordinary martial arts were not worthy of the unique strength of the Heavenly Demon Gong.

There is a trick "Heavenly Demon Fury" that is a good trick, but I don't distinguish between this kind of sonic merit and the enemy, and I don't have the ability to orient the sonic power like Amakusa Shiro, so if you use it rashly under the castle, you may kill more allies than the enemy.

Nier's fists flew and danced, opening a way in the mechanical dog group, the erosion of the Heavenly Demon Gong, the iron and steel collapsed everywhere it passed, and suddenly created a large chain of explosions, looking at it from a distance, only to see the dust and sand flying, the fire scurrying, the momentum is extremely terrifying.

Sensing that most of the attacks would be in vain, the Warriors urged the salaried thief who had the power to change the tide of the battle but ignored it.

"Lord Hante, can you please come forward? Only if you go to fight that little demon girl, our attack will be effective!"

"Shut up, don't argue, I'm busy right now, tell me to come out, get the money first!"

Sitting in the tent, Hunter repelled those who had come to urge. He had been hiding in the tent for two days without seeing anyone, and in front of him was spreading the purple electric gong and the Seven Divine Secret Recipes given by Hülegü, and he was concentrating on himself to comprehend the mysteries inside.

"The power of the Seven Gods is not as good as expected, how can this be...... Is there anything I haven't understood yet? Although I can count more than 100 incomprehensible places, I can't say ......."

It is not easy to practice superior martial arts, even if it has been made and can be used, but there are often some subtle turns that are difficult to understand, as long as a comprehension, you can multiply the original power. Convinced that the power of the Seven Gods is not limited to this, Hunter has been working hard to improve his current shortcomings since his defeat that day......

Therefore, in the past few days, there has been no chance to set off a heavenly battle outside the city, which also makes Lancelot feel relieved to abandon the city defense, hand over all the responsibility to his hard-working sister, and face another embarrassing and overwhelmed dilemma by himself......

"There are only a few questions. I remember that you told me a few days ago that you don't like people always using new technologies in warfare, so why do you always invent new weapons to kill people...... I was almost moved to tears by you!"

Pacing back and forth in the room, Lancelot tried to control his anger and try to figure out the whole thing in a rational manner.

After the shock of learning the truth, a wave of anger was filled in his chest. He hated being deceived above all, and Lancelot would not allow anyone to treat him like a fool except for his wife, Cangyuecao, to whom he owed a lot. And the matter is in front of her, this little girl who claims to be a top student of the Ancient Demon Dao is just a garbage girl who works as a handyman in the research institute. It's not shameful to do chores, but it's unforgivable to lie and deceive people, according to her usual temper, she should have beaten her twice and left, but remembering what her senior brother Wang Wu had said at the beginning, she stopped moving.

"Distinguish what is the truth and what is the truth after the facts. In this way, maybe you can have a lot of regrets in your life!"

As the senior brother said, before making a decision, you should give people a chance to explain! Besides, when I saw the girl's dejected and embarrassed appearance, the sadness in my heart was indeed true, since we had a friendship with each other, we should not let it fall apart so easily......

If you weren't a graduate of the Academy, you wouldn't have been able to design these things, in other words, you stole the blueprints from the Research Institute and resold them to the White...... Or are you just a spy he sent in?

The other party did not speak, and Lancelot made a calculation based on his own inference, and the result was naturally a little different from the truth. The girl, who only listened silently to these complaints, did not reply. The sun had already set, and there was no light in the room, only a glimmer of light from the outside, faintly illuminating the things in the room.

Just finished a day's work, didn't have time to take a shower and change clothes, there was a kind of sour smell on his body, which couldn't help but float into his nose, and he was sitting in the darkest corner of the room, just not touching the eyes of others, Ailing also felt that his current self was like a pile of self-rotting garbage......

The lie was suddenly exposed, and the excessive impact on the soul made the long-pent-up exhaustion suddenly occupy the entire body. Maybe...... I knew there would be such a day, and at this moment, I didn't want to talk, I didn't want to listen, I didn't want to watch, I just wanted to sit here and don't care about anything......

"It's a bastard at home! It's not a shame to take out the trash, is there any need to tell a lie like that? Do you think it's fun to fool a stupid person like me? Or do you feel a sense of accomplishment by pretending to be a graduate student?"

Lancelot gushed on and on, and the other party remained silent, which ignited his anger even more, and after a long series of words, he sighed, "Isn't it tiring to be like this? I always thought you were different from those stupid women who had empty heads and only used clothes and jewelry to decorate themselves......

Finally reacted, and the girl got up from where she was squatting, nodded slightly to Lancelot in anger, and walked out.

"Wait a minute!" Lancelot shouted at the back, "I want to leave without saying a word, don't you know how to apologize for what the little girl has done wrong?" or do you think there is no need to talk to a fool?"

Stopping, the girl slowly turned around and bowed to Lancelot. Bent over, her long hair hanging down to cover her face, and the dim light made it difficult to see her expression clearly.

"Right...... Yes and no...... ......"

The voice was slow and long, but it was not so much apologetic as it was a deep exhaustion, as if the whole mind had been hollowed out, and after saying these three words, the girl slowly turned around and walked out the door.

"Does anyone apologize so insincerely? My heart was so hurt by you that I wanted to send me away in three words, you are like Uncle Ben is garbage, you can be poured by you casually!"

Lancelot shouted loudly, and the other seemed to be deaf to him, just walking out vigorously.

With a "bang", a wooden chair smashed on the girl's way, blocking her way out. Looking back,

Lancelot was already sitting on Zhuozi, and he raised Erlang's legs high and glared at him.

"I don't accept the apology just now, hey! I was deceived by you, I listen to you say something every day, every time I listen to it, I am so moved, and my heart is still tingling! As a result, I not only spent time preparing the next day's lunch dishes, but also owed a lot of debts to others for you, and now the creditors come to the door every day to collect debts, don't think it's okay to cry on the ground, since you want to apologize, don't you think you should do something more sincere?"

After speaking arrogantly, the girl finally broke the silence again, and said tremblingly: "Really...... I'm really sorry......! People don't know how to apologize, I will definitely make money to compensate you for your loss, how much money will find a way to compensate, if you think this is not enough, then ...... Shall I kowtow to you and apologize?"

Not only did she bend over, but the girl knelt down this time, her body moved, Lancelot had already fallen off the table, but the other third person moved faster, Lancelot's feet hit the ground, and there was already a sharp pain in his ankles, and "Cappuccino", who had been hiding in the corner of the house, flew up and pounced, opened his mouth and bit the evil man.

"I'm ...... It's you stinky dog again......"

Being bitten in this situation, Lancelot really wanted to sigh, look at this guy like he is biting hard, it is probably impossible to let it go, of course it is okay to bounce it away with luck, but most of the time it will also shake this stinky dog into a pile of scrap metal......

Shaking his head, dragging his aching left leg and the mechanical dog biting his left leg, Lancelot picked the girl up and walked to a large tank of water on the left side of the room, and unceremoniously threw her into the tank.

"Did I say I wanted you to kowtow? Make it clear, you hurt a man's heart so badly, kowtowing and apologizing is not fair!"

Although the water tank is large, the water it contains is not deep enough to drown. Ailing, who was soaked in cold water and fell into a soup chicken, seemed to have finally reacted to this rough action, and before she could climb out of the water tank, she pushed back loudly.

"You...... What do you want? People have already said I'm sorry, and I will definitely pay you back the money, and if you are not satisfied, I can't help it!"

"Oh, are you finally willing to speak? Tell you, you have paid back the money, even if you go to buy a body, you have to pay it back to me. Apologizing, though, is another story. ”

Grabbing the girl by the collar again, Lancelot took her out of the water tank and said, "The most valuable moment for a man is when he really weeps, and the most valuable moment for a woman is when she is completely naked." There is only one way to make up for the tears that have flowed in my heart...... Girl, you dance naked to apologize!"

Extremely stunned, it is hard to imagine that this man, who has always been very kind to himself, will suddenly reveal a beast-like hideous face, the girl can't help but take a few steps back, and find that after being soaked all over, his clothes are close to his skin, and his curves are exposed.

"Unexpected...... That's what you are?"

"Ha! Who taught you not to know people with your eyes? At the beginning, I was a top student of a research institute who saw you, and I made a good friendship with you, and there were many benefits in the future, but I didn't expect it to become a wrong investment, and Uncle Ben suffered heavy losses, as long as you danced naked once, it was cheap for you!"

At this time, I knew that this man had hidden evil intentions, and he was trying to use himself in the first place, so there was no need to feel guilty about him at all, but now that the situation was critical, and he did not carry a self-defense weapon, he had to try to slip away immediately and ask for help. With this thought, my heart immediately perked up, and the vigilance was tightened, and it was no longer as lifeless as before, but the door was blocked by this person, and there was no way to escape. I can't call for help, what should I do?

The situation became more and more critical, and in the end he had to take a risk, relying on some internal skills and self-defense martial arts he had learned at the beginning, Ailing forcibly took the road out.

Lancelot was really surprised, he didn't expect this girl to be martial arts, and her internal strength was not low. If it was an ordinary martial arts practitioner, it would be hard to hit her unexpectedly like this, but in the face of herself, it was not enough to even scratch the itch, and she was pushed back to the ground with a casual grab.

"If you want to run, can you run away? Hehe! Since you don't take it off so easily, then I'll help you take it off, and make sure it's slippery in three or two clicks!"

"You! Save ......"

Before the cry for help came out, his mouth was covered and he couldn't make a sound. The girl struggled as hard as she could, but she was powerless to stop the other party's hand from slowly touching her neck and moving downward, and tears flowed out of her eagerness.

"Now you know! Things in the world are not so easy to explain, and good people and bad people are not easy to distinguish, before you can easily determine whether a person likes or dislikes, you have to spend more brains to think about it!"

Unexpectedly, the big hand that had just unbuttoned his shirt stopped moving, just caressing the ends of his hair in his ear, and his voice became softer.

"My eldest once said that looking at things is not only about looking at the facts, but also knowing how to see the truth. You did lie to me, but what you said wasn't exactly a lie!"

Lancelot sighed and said: "Even if you are not a high-achieving student, and you don't have a seriously ill little brother, but you said that you hate people who always use the Ancient Demon Dao to fight, and the words you say and the mood you feel when you say this are all true! I am willing to believe you who said these words, can you also believe me a little more? Although I look like a bad person, and Cappuccino bites me when he sees me, it does not mean that I am a person who cannot communicate, don't always admit your mistakes! Since you are a friend, tell me your suffering! ”

The tense nerves relaxed for a while, and the girl couldn't determine whether the man in front of her was good or bad? The palm of the hand that caressed her ear was so terrifying and terrifying, but how could she feel so warm now? It was as if she had returned to the time when she had just come to Jixia a few years ago......

The crystal eyeballs slid over the face bit by bit, and finally turned into an irrepressible cry, running loudly. "Woo, woo...... Wow!"

Lancelot didn't speak, just listened quietly. And what came out of the girl's mouth was everything that had happened in the past two years since she came to Jixia......

"Because I want to officially receive the education of the Ancient Demon Dao, after being kicked out by Boomer, I will go to Ji to ...... alone"

As soon as she arrived in Jixia, everything was so fresh, Ailing felt the artistic atmosphere of a cultural capital for the first time, and the rich humanistic spirit of Jixia School Palace made her fall into the vast sea of books.

The Ancient Demon Dao is specialized knowledge, not everyone can practice, usually only the extremely outstanding children of the Bai family can be allowed to enter the research institute, but in order to give an explanation to foreign students from all walks of life who want to study the Ancient Demon Dao, Reyns has also opened one or two basic courses of the Ancient Demon Dao under international pressure, which are not limited to qualifications, and anyone can choose to take them.

Even if it is only the foundation, but the ancient demon path is by no means easy, these things are enough to make ordinary students poor, but in March last year, there was an international student who was not amazing, and won excellent results that surpassed 2,000 students in the same period, that is her, Long. Einstein.

He is regarded as a rare genius in hundreds of years by the division commanders. After several meetings, they decided to ask the institute for a guarantee, hoping to let this talented girl with infinite plasticity enter the institute to use her expertise.

Contrary to the views of these professors, the research institute was almost an area of the children of the Bai family who had an opposing attitude from the beginning, and they did not allow an unidentified child with a foreign surname to enter, and they did not think that a foreigner with a non-white surname would be better if he had only self-study before this?

It's just that under the pressure of the professors' joint guarantee, the Bai Family Research Institute reluctantly accepted this foreign student and hired her to enter the Taigu Demon Dao Research Institute in the name of a researcher's assistant. So far, everything has gone smoothly, Ailing herself is very happy, since she met the old grandfather Huang Taiji in Alembat Mountain, listening to his description, she admires those scholars who wear white research clothes all day and are engaged in the study of the ancient demon path, and now, this dream is finally close at hand.

It's just that after entering the institute, the situation is far less than expected. From the moment she stepped into the research institute, Ailing could feel the obvious estrangement and hostility, and her cold eyes made the smile on the girl's face freeze suddenly. It has become clear that he is not welcome here. This feels not strange, because I have never been a likable character, and I have always caused trouble to the people around me in the past, and I have long been used to the feeling of being blinded. It's just that when this situation reappears in the research institute that she has longed for all her life, it is still quite a shock, especially since she obviously didn't make any mistakes!

The problem is only in her surname, the white family has held the power of the research institute for more than a thousand years, and has long expelled all the researchers who do not belong to the Bai family, how can such an outsider who is not only a foreign surname, but also not even a Reyns person be allowed to join the research institute?

The situation was not good from the beginning, but the real disaster was the day when Ailing entered the inner courtyard to meet the professor with his research plan in hand.

There has always been a considerable degree of technical cooperation between the Wizard Guild and the Ancient Magic Dao Research Institute, and for safety reasons, when the Research Institute was built, the Wizard Guild assisted in setting up an enchantment, which was arranged on the corridor that entered the inner courtyard, which was not aggressive, but could invalidate most of the camouflage spells, so that traitors who intended to infiltrate the Research Institute had nothing to hide.

It's not difficult to see through the camouflage technique.,The original intention was to target some stealth secret spells.,But I didn't think it would come in handy at this time.,Since stepping into the human world,In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble.,Ailing wears some magic props made by her father.,Camouflage appearance.,Become an ordinary human girl.。 She is already half of human blood, and after spending so much time with her human friends that she has forgotten her foreign identity at all.

However, the moment he passed through the corridor, Ailing suddenly felt a little dizzy, and he heard an exclamation in his ears, and raised his head, the eyes of the people around him were still unfriendly, but the contempt and contempt in them were stronger and deeper, as if they were ridiculing and laughing at something.

"Everybody...... Is there something wrong?"

No one answered this question, and even the people who usually had a friendly smile showed a disgusted expression and stared at her.

What the hell is going on? Ailing was puzzled for a while, until a researcher picked up the vase on the table, walked up to her, and sneered: "Originally, I should have let you find urine and look like your own ugly appearance, but the research institute is a sacred place, so I will cheapen you and let you use water!"

Rough words, with unceremonious movements, hands flipped over, and in the midst of laughter, the water in the vase and the flower branches were all poured on Ailing's head.

(Why do you say that?)

Little by little, bit by bit, from the puddle that slowly accumulated on the ground, the girl saw the reflection of her face and got an answer. It wasn't the appearance of an ordinary human girl, with pointed ears and red eyes, it was her true face, another face that hadn't appeared in front of people for a long time.

Reynes's severe discrimination against races other than humans, which Eling had only heard about before, had not personally experienced, but at this time, this rumor happened to her in the worst form. No matter what reason she hid her identity, if it was revealed in this situation, it would naturally be difficult to escape the suspicion of ill-intention.

It is the luck of the Bai family researcher and the misfortune of Ailing. At the time of the Siam Incident, the third lady of the Bai family, who pretended to pray behind closed doors in the ivory white pagoda, sneaked to the free city, and the whereabouts of Bai Wuji, the head of the Bai family, were also unknown, so the research institute was able to handle the matter with full authority and make a secret decision.

Relying on the guarantee of the division commander who recommended her earlier, Ailing, who was sent to prison for interrogation, was finally acquitted before being tortured. But the feeling of being released from prison is not good, and those professors who saved her life in the spirit of cherishing their talents still can't get rid of racial differences, and they are ashamed of having students like her, and refuse to meet Ailing in person.

Desperate, Ailing, who became a lonely person, did not give up. Sticking to her ideals, she tried her best to find a job, and finally got a job as a miscellaneous worker in the research institute, even if she suffered all day long, she had to continue to stay in the research institute.

For Ailing, except for the talent of the ancient magic path, she has no strengths, this research institute is her only stage, as long as she can stand on the stage, even if it is just a backstage in a dark corner, she will one day shine and attract everyone's attention.

After more than a year of apprenticeship, the apprenticeship was not in vain, working during the day and studying various related books at night, purely in terms of resources, Jixia can be called a holy place for learning, and the reference materials are all over the place, and there is no need to grope out of thin air as before. With basic knowledge, Ailing's works are not as full of loopholes as before, and they will be blown up in a few clicks, and she has gradually become a truly outstanding creator.

has learned the arts, but she has been isolated in the background and has never had the opportunity to appear. There was a big scandal in the research institute, she was just the subject of being pointed at and made fun of all day long, and no one was willing to give her a fair chance.

Living such a life, the girl's mood gradually changed. Since her true face has been revealed, there is no point in changing her appearance as a human girl, so she simply shows her true face. One day I looked at myself in the mirror, and I was shocked to find that I had entered a period of stagnation, but I began to grow up again. Compared with the cute appearance of the little girl before, she is now completely a delicate girl, especially with an indescribable depressed look in her eyebrows, which hides the innocence and innocence of the past, and adds a bit of mature atmosphere.

Looking at the image in the mirror and pinching the stiff muscles on her face, Ailing suddenly didn't know what expression she should use to face herself in the mirror......

Spiritually he has not given up, but his material life has begun to be unsustainable. Most of the money and property that was distributed in Alambat Mountain have been transferred to Hante to repay debts, and without the financial support of the research institute, all research and creation have to be paid out of pocket. Counting the savings that are less than one day a day, Ailing began to worry, what should I do if the money is spent?

It was at this moment that the man appeared in front of her.

Interested in seizing the position of the head of the Bai family, Bai Xing has been keeping an eye on the strange people in the territory of Reyns, hoping to recruit them under his banner and increase his strength. Ailing was recommended to enter the institute, it is a rare thing, although all the people involved afterwards regarded it as a great shame and never mentioned it, but Bai Xing still learned about it by chance, and his curiosity arose, and he secretly visited this unambitious little talent.

happened to meet Ailing in a trial work, and when he saw it during the day, he knew that strange goods could live, indicating the intention of soliciting, but Ailing refused.

did not give up, during the day, he found out Ailing's personality, made friends with her kindly, and provided research funds from time to time, waiting for the opportunity. It is also thanks to his caution that he does not want others to know that he is interacting with a lowly foreigner, and regards this matter as a top secret, and even keeps it secret from the henchmen around him, otherwise he would have passed through heavy eyeliner and spread it to the ears of Babai Wuji.

Soon after, Jacob's plan was realized, and when Jacob's proclamation spread throughout the continent, he came to Eling and persuaded him to persuade him.

"That thief-turned-puppet king is an evil man who only knows how to solve everything by brute force, and if he is really put on the throne, the people of Reins will be miserable. I'm going to fight a righteous holy war now!, but to fight against evil, my strength is not enough at the moment, please lend me your power!"

After reading the full text of Jacob's declaration, Ailing decided that the new prince was not a good man, but indeed a traitor who intended to poison the people of Reins, and under the continuous persuasion of Bai Xing, Ailing finally nodded.

"Okay, I'll help you design weapons, but you have to promise that these weapons will only be used against that bandit, and that you will destroy them immediately after the war is over, okay?"

Bai Xing agreed, and the two began to trade. When Ailing completes the design of the weapon, he will go to the dense forest outside the city, hand over the design to Bai Xing, and at the same time receive a payment per piece, which is why he will meet Lancelot outside the city that day.

"I was really happy to meet you, Mr. Dalang. The girl said slowly, "I didn't intend to deceive you at first, but...... Talking to you makes me feel very cheerful and pleasant, and I feel like I'm going back to the time when I first came to Jishita, and I'm having a dream that I'm just about to start......"

Recalling two years ago, the self who stepped into the grass with a dream, Ailing really has a lot of emotion, after every meeting with Lancelot back, looking in the mirror, she always feels like she seems to be much gloomy, and she can't find the optimistic state of everything in the past.

If the so-called growth is such a sad thing, then sometimes she would rather be a little fool like before, although clumsy, but always surrounded by friends who support her, because of them, every journey of life has become a precious memory.

But this idea should be too demanding. Life will not always be on the smooth road, and it is impossible to always be loved, or there will be times, will fall into an isolated and helpless situation, all the cold eyes, ridicule can only be borne alone, in order to bear this cold, so talent needs to grow......

Although she didn't want to ...... at all
