Chapter 22: Departure Home

Zi Yan went to the back room to clean up her things, I sat on the sofa alone, and when I was bored, I found that there was the box sent by Huster Feizhen on the table, I don't know if Zi Yan had seen it.

I don't know what this fat pig has sent. The black wooden box is very delicate and delicate, with a red gemstone in the center, surrounded by various carvings, and the edges and corners are covered with metal, which will not be pure gold. I searched and searched, but I couldn't find a way to open the box, fuck, isn't this fat man embarrassed for me?

I just wanted to crush it with my fighting spirit, when Zi Yan's voice came out of the room: "Ah Xiang, I've packed up, let's go." With the voice, Zi Yan walked out with a small package on her back, which should be the clothes and some necessities made by the tailor here. "Hey, what are you doing?" Zi Yan said strangely when she saw my appearance.

"I want to see what this fat man has sent, but I can't open the box, and I'm about to open it. ”

Zi Yan hurriedly ran over after hearing my words, and snatched the box over: "You are stupid, I'll open it for you, it's a good box, it's a pity to break it." ”

I smiled and said, "You like it?" It's just a few gems, and you girls love these things the most. ”

Zi Yan glanced at me and said, "Are you one of those vulgar fans when I am? I am not rare in gemstones, people like natural beauty." Look, this kind of box should be opened like this. As she spoke, she gently pressed the red gem on top of the box downward, then turned left and pressed it again, and with a click, the box parted from the center.

The moment the box separated, the whole room was shrouded in a treasure light, and the dazzling seven-colored light illuminated my eyes, looking at the contents of the box, Zi Yan and I were completely stunned.

Inside the box was a blue velvet bottom, with twenty small grooves, and in each groove was a gem, and I roughly counted them, namely, five black gems, three red, three blue, three yellow, three green, and three purple. It's not like I've never seen a gem, but it's the first time I've seen it so bright.

"Zi Yan, why are they so bright! ”

Zi Yan gently stroked each gem in the box, and said: "That fat man really vomited blood this time, these are absolute gemstones, you see this red one, it is bloodstone, such a pure and flawless bloodstone can rarely be seen even in the palace of the dragon god, it has the effect of refreshing the mind and shocking the mind." "This blue one should have been processed, although I haven't seen it before, but I heard that the demon has an incomparably hard gemstone called diamond, and the blue diamond is the best of them, I think, this should be it. "This yellow gem is also extraordinary, you see it as a whole as if it is like jelly, such Tianhuang stone seems to have another name, I can't remember it for a while. Let me tell you this, the jade seal used by the emperor of the Dragon God Empire is also carved from Tian Huangshi, and it is not as pure as yours. The green is turquoise, and I only know the name, but I don't know what it does. "Purple is the best amethyst, which has the effect of storing magical power, and should be the most practical gemstone in it. These three amethysts can store ten times the magic power of all my current mana, with them, if I use magic, I am not afraid that the mana will not be able to support it, although I can't directly increase the level of magic, but I can continue to use the magic within my ability until I consume all the mana they store. "The only thing I can't name is this black gem, it's neither crystal nor jade, I don't know what it's for, maybe it's also a specialty of the demon race. ”

I looked at Zi Yan blankly, what she said seemed to me like a book from heaven: "You are really a talented girl, if I am alone, I am afraid I don't know anything, I can take whichever you like." ”

Zi Yan smiled: "This is what you said, in that case, I will take two purple best crystals, even if you give our sisters a token of love, you can also store mana." ”

I made a gesture of please, and Zi Yan happily picked out two superb crystals, carefully placed them in a small bag, and put them in her arms: "As long as you continue to inject magic into this crystal, you can mobilize it when you use it, you see, it is so pure and beautiful." ”

I teased: "I also said that I don't love gemstones, not a vulgar powder, but when I see this superb crystal, my original form will be revealed." ”

Zi Yan slapped me and said, "I hate it." You can put all the rest away, maybe you'll need it later. With that, she handed over the box.

I took the box and looked at the fascinating gems inside, and smiled: "These things can't be eaten, what use can I take them, I will leave them to you." ”

Zi Yan pressed the hand I wanted to hand her, and said, "Don't underestimate these things, I'm afraid that the fat man and his uncle's entire property may not be, if you don't have money in the future, you can sell one for a sky-high price." I conservatively estimate that any one here can be sold for tens or even millions of gold coins. ”

When I heard this number, I was shocked: "What, what? hundred, million gold coins?"

Zi Yan nodded solemnly and said, "So you have to put it away, I will make a magic wand with Zi Xue after you send me back, which is very beneficial to our magic practice." "With so much money, then I'm not a big rich man now? It seems that the Gu Yun brothers don't know too much about this, that fat man is really bankrupt in order to save his life.

Actually, what I don't know is that it's not that Huster Feizhen doesn't want the Gu Yun brothers to help him get rid of this batch of treasures, he is afraid that the Gu Yun brothers will see it, and if he asks for another copy, even if he sells him, he won't be able to take it out, and he has indeed embezzled a lot over the years, and the money can be earned again, if I really cut off the title, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

The main purpose of him inviting Brother Gu Yun here was to find the flaw in my identity and let me die at their hands, so that he could save almost all the treasures of his family.

If the top ten corrupt officials of the demon clan are ranked, Huster Feizhen and his uncle will definitely be on the list, this city is the largest transit point for launching an attack on the Dragon God Empire, and many materials are purchased and manufactured through here, and the process in between......

"Ah Xiang, these gems are basically beneficial to you, you just put them close to you, the box is too inconvenient, you are so careless, it's strange not to lose it. ”

"Am I so sloppy? Then you said how to put it, I can't glue it to my body. ”

Zi Yan held her cheeks and thought for a while, and said, "Yes, it's still early anyway, you wait here, I'll be back in a while." With that, she ran out.

I shouted, "Why are you going? ”

"Got it, I'll be back in a minute. ”

Zi Yan went out, I couldn't help but shake my head secretly, am I still the same Lei Xiang as before? In front of Sister Zi Yan, I can't get cold at all, but do I regret it? My heart told me, no. Not only do I have no regrets, but I still love my life now, they have always warmed my heart and made me feel at home for the first time.

Zi Yan went for more than an hour before coming back. She was holding a black object in her hand, and she didn't know what it was.

"Why have you been there for so long, it's almost noon, and if you don't go, you won't be able to catch up. I complained.

Zi Yan smiled: "What's the hurry, look." As he spoke, he unfolded what he was holding.

It turned out to be a waistcoat with several small pockets on it.

It dawned on me that I said, "Did you let me put the gem in this?"

Zi Yan nodded and said, "You go in and try it, this is worn in the innermost fit." There are six pockets in total, each with five fixed pockets, and the gems will not shake when they are put in, and I came up with the idea to let the tailor make them, and if you have any good little things in the future, you can also put them in it. This material is a good thing, it is made of the skin of a kind of mahi osprey, light and thin, but very tough, very comfortable against the skin, and it will not be worn out for a lifetime. I also made a point for him to make two slits in the back so that you wouldn't break it when you transformed. ”

I took the vest in Zi Yan's hand, and there was still residual warmth on Zi Yan's hand on the vest, and my heart was warm. Zi Yan pushed me into the back room: "Don't be stunned, put it on, didn't you say it's getting late?"

Wearing this Ma Xi Osprey vest, not only is my body comfortable, but my heart is even more comfortable, I secretly swear that for the sake of Zi Yan's heart, I will never take it off easily.

Zi Yan looked at me up and down, left and right: "It fits well, that tailor's craftsmanship is really good, come, I'll put the gem on you." ”

Zi Yan's height is only up to my shoulders, which is already very tall among human girls, and she uses her white and tender little hands to put gems into my close-fitting vest, although there is a layer of things, I feel that my heart is beating rapidly.

"Okay, it's all put in, I have a good design, hey, why is your face so red, isn't it a cold, ah!" Zi Yan jumped to the side vigilantly and looked at me angrily.

I looked at her in a daze, a little overwhelmed. Zi Yan pouted and said, "Don't think about bad things." ”

I said stupidly, "What a bad thing, I didn't think about it." ”

"I hate it, hurry up and put on your coat, you have to leave quickly, I have asked the innkeeper to prepare dry food just now, let's eat on the way." ”

When I went to the innkeeper to settle the bill, he didn't dare to ask for my money at all, and kowtowed vigorously, and in the end, I really had no choice, so I could only throw down a bag of gold coins and run out with Zi Yan. When I left, I saw gratitude and reverence in the innkeeper's eyes.

When we came to the East City Gate, the Gu Yun brothers were already waiting here, they were idle, but there was not even a single servant of the Fallen Angel Legion, wearing the same black samurai uniform, and each carrying a long knife on his back. "I'm sorry, two brothers, because of a little delay, the younger brother is late. I said politely.

Gu Yun smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter, let's get on the road quickly." ”

I was still riding a horse with Zi Yan, carrying the two of us with the black dragon's divine steed, and I still didn't fall behind, easily chasing after the Gu brothers' mounts. Zi Yan leaned on my arms with her eyes closed, I don't know if I fell asleep, we walked on the official road, it was very flat, plus the black dragon ran smoothly, it was definitely a good place to sleep in my arms.

While petting Zi Yan's long light blue hair, I asked Gu Yun, "Brother Gu, I don't know how the situation on the front line is now, do you know?"

Gu Yun smiled bitterly: "After fighting for so many years, what else can we do, there are mutual victories and defeats, according to the news we got in the Imperial City, when the war first started, we had some advantages, but during this time, this advantage has been taken back by others." This dragon god empire is really difficult to deal with, I heard that the orcs killed a dragon knight, but their Beamon army lost nearly a hundred people, this should be the heaviest loss in recent decades. These brainless guys don't know how to do it, they're all brainless waste, sacrificing their own people in vain. ”

Hearing him speak ill of orcs, I felt uncomfortable in my heart, and said with a frown: "There are too many orc tribes to completely rule, and the decrees in various places are different, although the fecundity is the strongest, but it can never develop, only the Beamon Legion can fight with the enemy." ”

Gu Feng snorted coldly and said, "What are the Beamon Legions, compared to our Fallen Angel Legion, they are far behind. In terms of comprehensive strength, even the dragon knights may not be our opponents, but they have the help of the divine dragon. If I wait until I cultivate to the four-winged fallen angels, I will see that I don't kill them and turn them on their backs. ”

Hearing him talk about the four-winged fallen angels, I couldn't help but feel a stir in my heart, all along, I had been cultivating the Heavenly Demon Technique alone, since I had such a good opportunity now, why don't I take their words and see if it can help my own cultivation. Thinking of this, I asked, "I don't know what level the two brothers' Heavenly Demon Technique cultivation has reached?"

Gu Yun said: "We have all practiced to the fifth level. ”

I sighed and said, "At this speed, it won't take too long for the two brothers to cultivate to the four-winged fallen angel." ”

The Gu Yun brothers glanced at each other, and Gu Feng frowned and said, "Are you hurting us?"

I was stunned for a moment and said, "How can it be, what the little brother said is from the heart." ”

Gu Feng said: "Hmph, what are you talking about, don't you know that the people of the Fallen Angel Legion have basically cultivated to the fifth layer, and only a few are in the realm of the sixth and fourth layers?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know about this, anyway, I'm at the fourth layer realm now, and I'm progressing quite fast, at this speed, isn't it a matter of time before the two brothers reach the four wings?"

Gu Yun shook his head and said, "Didn't Your Majesty tell you about the bottleneck of cultivating the Heavenly Demon Technique?"

I shook my head in amazement and said, "No, Your Majesty just taught me the Heavenly Demon Technique and let me practice it myself, since I was sensible, I have seen him no more than five times in total, and I can't say ten words each time, and he rarely explains anything to me, only let me understand it myself." ”

Gu Feng said with relief: "Then I can't blame you for saying that just now, it's like this, the Heavenly Demon Technique starts from the fifth layer, and there is a bottleneck at each level, and only by breaking through this bottleneck can you enter the next layer." Like us, it's been four years since we cultivated to the fifth layer, but until now, we are still at the primary stage of the fifth layer. Alas...... It's difficult, our father only managed to break through the bottleneck of the sixth layer when he was sixty-seven years old, which is already an outlier in our demon race. His Majesty completed the four wings at the age of fifty-four, and in the thousands of years of reproduction of our demon race, His Majesty is the only one who can complete it before the age of sixty, so he will be loved and admired by everyone. Our father once said that with our qualifications, it is not easy to break through the fifth layer at the age of fifty, and as for the four wings, don't even think about it, unless there is some adventure, it is impossible to reach that realm. ”

I was surprised and asked, "Is it really that hard?"

Gu Yun smiled: "When you reach the fifth layer, you will understand what we said, the four wings are an unreachable realm." What are those dragon riders of the Dragon God Empire, if there is no divine dragon, the three of them together may not be His Majesty's opponents. The hateful dragons know that they are biased towards humans. ”

Although I haven't seen the kung fu of the dragon knights, I can see their power from the dragon knights, the Demon Emperor can deal with three dragon knights without dragons, what kind of realm is that. After listening to their words, I yearn for the transformation of the four-winged fallen angel even more. Gu Feng continued: "It's a pity that Your Majesty has been difficult to enter since he cultivated to the seventh layer, his old man is already over sixty years old this year, I'm not afraid that you don't like to hear it, brother, in a few decades, after these elders have gone, I don't know if we can still compete with human beings and support the current situation." ”

I asked curiously, "Isn't there any one in the next generation who can break through the sixth layer?"

Gu Feng slowed down his horse's speed, and said sideways: "It's not that there are no qualifications, but after reaching the fifth layer, it is not possible to break through with good qualifications, there must be certain opportunities, and opportunities are such a thing as unattainable." But brother, you are still so young, you are the youngest of the fallen angels I know who has reached the two wings except for the princess, and in a few decades, maybe you can really break through the sixth layer. When the time comes, if you sit in the position of the Demon Emperor, don't forget our brothers. ”

I pretended to be gloomy and said, "I don't have an identity like a demon emperor, and I'm not even an orthodox royal family." ”

Gu Feng smiled and said: "Nothing is absolute, if you break through the sixth layer and reach the current realm of Your Majesty, who cares who gave birth to you, in our place, the four-winged fallen angel is equivalent to the messenger of the demon god, isn't the throne still within reach?"

Forget about being the Demon Emperor, I don't have any hope for power, but I am very excited about the strength of the four-winged fallen angel, and it has always been my dream to be a peerless powerhouse.

I smiled and said, "That's all for later, whether I have the opportunity or not, I will never forget the two brothers." By the way, in order to inject magic power into my sister who I have never met, Your Majesty's Heavenly Demon Skill has dropped two layers at once, and I don't know when it will be restored. What if those dragoons do their own thing, no one will be able to resist them. ”

Listening to me say that this is the highest level secret in the demon clan, the two of them already have complete trust in me.

Gu Yun said: "You don't have to worry about this, the dragon riders will not shoot easily, because the destructive power of their level is too strong, as early as a thousand years ago, the three clans made an agreement, after reaching their level, they are not allowed to participate in ordinary battles, they can only command behind the scenes, every ten years the heads of the three clans will find a place where there is no one to fight, I heard that there is a bet, as for what it is, only their level knows." I asked my father, but he wouldn't tell us. ”

Gu Feng snorted coldly: "It's okay if you don't tell us, and he also says that we are waste, and we can't reach that realm in our lives, and there are three fallen angels in the family, and he is still not satisfied, I really don't know what he wants us to do with our brothers." ”

I asked, "What was the result of each competition?"

Gu Yun shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this, it should be almost a tie." If you have the chance, ask Your Majesty yourself, but unless you reach that level, he may not tell you. ”

It seems that it was a wise choice to go with them, and it made me know a lot of the secrets of the demons. The sleeping Zi Yan suddenly sat up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and asked me, "Where are you, Ah, Alei?"

Dizzy, what is this name, I forced a smile and replied: "I don't know where it is, it should be more than two hundred miles away." ”

Gu Yun said with a smile: "Brother, your fiancΓ©e is really beautiful, the women of our demon clan have always won with their figures, and there are really few people like her, even in the palace." ”

Zi Yan basically lost her sleepiness, smiled slightly when she heard this, and said, "Thank you for your compliment." ”

At this moment, the Gu brothers and I were alert at the same time, and four people suddenly appeared on the wide official road. Both sides of the official road are tall and dense forests, and since this place is close to the border of the demons, pedestrians are very scarce. The four people on the opposite side didn't see anything powerful, each of them was masked in a black scarf, lined up on the official road, and they all held swords in their hands, so they wouldn't have come to rob. The three of us grabbed the reins almost at the same time and stopped thirty meters away from each other.

Before we could speak, the robbers at the head shouted: "Stop, this mountain is opened by us, and we want to pass through here, leave to buy road money, not to buy road money, hehe, kill - no matter how buried it." When it came to killing words, he also deliberately lengthened his voice.

The Gu brothers and I looked at each other and laughed in unison. It's ridiculous that three fallen angels would be stopped by a few robbers. We are laughing at the robbers who do not know their own strength, do not know whether they live or die, and it is the sorrow of their fate to run into our hands.

I snorted coldly and said, "The two elder brothers are waiting here, and the younger brother will go and clean them up." "Killing robbers is one of my best skills, in the orc country, there were countless robbers who died in my hands, these thieves crashed into my hands today, count them unlucky.

Gu Yun suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped me: "Brother Xian, let's go, I still have to ask them something, how can there be robbers in this place of the official road?

Zi Yan whispered in my ear, "Don't kill people easily, okay? ”

I replied disapprovingly, "It's not my desire to kill someone, but if you don't kill him, he will kill you, and killing a few thieves is not bloody compared to the battlefield." As he spoke, Gu Yun walked towards the robbers with a knock on the horse's belly, and Zi Yan whispered in my arms, "But...... Forget it, however, you are still too tender, people are much more mature than you, you know to ask about the situation, don't be too impulsive after doing things, you will suffer. Although her voice was very low, Gu Feng should still be heard not far away, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Gu Yun rode his horse and stopped ten steps before the other party, smiled slightly, clasped his hands into fists and said, "I don't know which mountain the heroes are from?"

The leading bandit smiled, and put the saber on his shoulder: "You don't care where we came from, hurry up and hand over the property, and I will let you go, otherwise, today next year will be your taboo." ”

Seeing that the other party was not enlightened, Gu Yun couldn't help but change in his heart, and shouted angrily: "Do you really not know whether you are dead or alive? ”

A chilling momentum rushed out of him, instantly covering the four opponents at the same time, and under the pressure of the powerful momentum, the four robbers suddenly appeared panicked. Gu Yun laughed, lowered the pressure on his opponent, and shouted: "If you want to live, get out of here, I don't want to kill people today." ”

I thought that a killing would be avoided in this way, but at this time, I suddenly found that a cold light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the person on the left of the four people on the other side, which was the divine light that only a master would have, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Gu, be careful, they are not ordinary robbers." ”

Gu Yun had been through a hundred battles, and when he heard my shout, he didn't hesitate to rise into the air, and his body shot backwards like an arrow. When I shouted, the other four people also made a move at the same time, and the four powerful and condensed momentum soared at the same time, and the four black rays of light hit the position where Gu Yun was standing just now, and Gu Yun's good horse was blown to pieces in the black mang. The scene in front of him stunned Gu Feng, who had always been calm. Gu Yun secretly wiped a cold sweat, if it weren't for my reminder, with the strength of the four opponents, if they were attacked by a sneak attack, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With a gloomy face, he pointed at the other party and said, "Who are you, and what is your purpose?"

Before the other party could answer, Gu Feng jumped off the horse, grabbed his impulsive eldest brother, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't say it, I also know who you are, is Prince Sucha okay?"

Listening to Gu Feng's question, the four of them shook their bodies at the same time, and the person in the lead laughed and said: "Okay, good, good, you two brothers really live up to their reputation, I think I have disguised myself quite well, how can you be sure that I am the prince's person." However, whether or not you recognize us today, this will be your burial place, and you should know that you are also fallen angels, four against two, and you have no chance at all. Acquaintances, I can leave you all corpses. ”

My heart moved, listening to his tone, the four of them should all be fallen angels, how could they kill each other.

Gu Feng said disdainfully: "What is so difficult to see through you, now most of the people of the Fallen Angel Legion are killing the enemy on the front line, and only the few personal guards of our two brothers and the prince are left in the mainland, your attack just now has revealed your identity, all in all, I naturally know who you are, don't cover your face, Suer." ”

The man known as Sur in the ancient style ripped off his masked towel in laughter, revealing a pale and hideous face, which looked less like a fallen angel and more like a vampire, a special class of demons.

Sur said with a smile: "If the two of you are willing to abandon the darkness and join our camp, then everyone will be the same in the future, one is life, the other is death, you can do it yourself." ”

Gu Feng scolded angrily: "Fart, you want our lives just by you, it's just a dream." ”

While they were talking, Gu Yun whispered to me: "These four guys are very powerful, stay for a while, you leave us alone, take your fiancΓ©e and leave quickly." Their target is our brother, and when you see Your Majesty, just ask the old man to help us avenge us. ”

Although I don't have much affection for the Gu brothers, I am still very touched by his willingness to cover our escape with his own life. I said impulsively: "Brother Gu, what are you talking about, since we are together, then we have to live and die together, and it is impossible for me to escape alone." But I don't understand why the same people of the Fallen Angel Legion should be against you?"
