Chapter 54: The Breath of Death

I pretended to sigh and said: "Last time in the battle with the demons and beasts, although I broke out of the siege, I also ran into the territory of the orc country, because their army has been blocking the way back to the fortress, for safety, I can only carefully enter the orc realm, lurking in the forest, relying on some small beasts to survive. It wasn't until a few days ago, when our troops were repulsed, that I found a chance to sneak back. As a result of the wounds I had sustained in that battle, I returned to recuperate for some time in the city near the fortress of Stru, and only returned to the Imperial Capital when my injuries were completely healed, which I had only returned a few days earlier. Since I had been away from the college for so long, I thought that my student status might have been removed, so I didn't go back. I was afraid that Zixue would be worried, so I wanted to come and see her. ”

The duke said coldly: "Who are you lying, if you want to see Zixue, won't you ask to see you from the gate?

I smiled bitterly and said, "What purpose can I have, I have one more thing to tell you this time besides wanting to meet Zixue." ”

The duke said, "Oh, what's the matter?"

I whispered, "Do you remember the woman I told you about last time? I saw her again in the orc country this time, and I knew you didn't want anyone to know about her, so you climbed over the wall." ”

At the mention of my mother, the duke's attitude suddenly turned 180 degrees, and he eagerly grabbed me by the shoulder, and said, "What? You see her again, quick, tell me, how is she? Have you told her about me?" ”

I knew that the Duke was sincere to his mother, otherwise, with his old age, he would not be able to show his inner feelings so easily, I took his hand and said: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly, it's like this, I met the lady in one of the orc villages, her complexion was much better than before, she found her son, and lived with him. ”

The duke was stunned and said, "Son, she also has a son?"

I nodded and said, "Her son is still quite filial to her, and under good conditioning, that lady's body has improved a lot." I told her about seeing you, and she was as excited as you were, and I think she was still thinking about you. ”

Tears appeared in the duke's eyes, and he muttered: "Lingling, Lingling, I really miss you." He grabbed me again and said excitedly, "Tell me where she is, take me to her, I'm going to find her now." ”

"Calm down, don't be so impulsive, listen to me, okay?"

The duke said hurriedly: "How can you calm me down, finally there is news of her again, I am really very eager to see her now." ”

"Don't forget, you are the Duke of the Dragon God Empire, and she is now in the Orc Realm, you should know better than me what will happen if you appear in the Orc Realm." There is no need to rush this matter, I once asked the lady if she wanted to see you again. At this point, I paused.

The duke asked, "Then how did she answer?" ”

I sighed and said, "She said she didn't want to see you anymore, she said she didn't have the face to see you, and she didn't want to cause you any more trouble." Let me tell you that you will forget about her as if she had never been there. ”

The duke's face was full of blood, and in an instant he seemed to be a few years older, took two steps back, and said tremblingly: "Why? Why do you want me to forget you, Lingling, do you think I can forget you in this life?"

I said flatly, "Don't you care about her past?"

The duke shook his head and said: "Of course I don't care, that's not what she wants, she's a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, it's not easy to survive in the orc country until now, I can understand all the pain she has had, in my heart, she will always be that ice and jade Lingling." Quick, you tell me, I'll go to her now, explain to her clearly, I must take her back to the dragon god, and never be separated from her again. ”

I was very relieved, it seems that it is not wrong for me to decide to let my mother come back and reunite with the duke, the duke is worthy of my mother's dear, I smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, that lady also very much hopes to return to her homeland, I have promised her that I will help her come back, you are not good at this kind of thing, or I am the most suitable to do it." I came back this time to explore the way first, if there is no place on the dragon god's side that can accept her, she will only come back in more pain, I am relieved if you say so. ”

The Duke said, "Do you have a way to take her back?"

I nodded, "I've been living with the orcs for a while this time, and I've already found a way back, and I'll go back to pick her up after I deal with some things here." Do you know what that lady's greatest wish is?"

The Duke shook his head blankly.

I said in a deep voice, "That lady's greatest wish is to be able to return to her homeland, hide in a corner and sneak a peek at you." ”

The duke lost his voice and said, "What?" He couldn't control his tears anymore, and said sadly: "Lingling, why are you so stupid, don't worry, I will definitely give you the greatest happiness, and when I see you again, I will never be separated from you again." ”

I looked at the duke with tears streaming down my face and whispered, "If you do this to that lady, what will the duchess do?" I must ask this question, and I want to be the best prepared for my mother.

Hearing my question, the Duke was visibly stunned, and said blankly, "Madame, what should I do?"

I smiled slightly and said, "I've already thought about it for you, with your strength, you should be able to buy a small courtyard at will." ”

The duke suddenly said: "You are asking me to hide Jiao in the golden house, how can I do this, I am too wronged Lingling." ”

I shook my head and said, "That lady has no desires now, and she doesn't want to disturb your current life, so this is the best way." ”

The Duke stared at me carefully, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes, "Why are you helping me so much?"

I sighed lightly and said, "First of all, I hope that you and that lady can finally get married, and secondly, I also have selfish intentions, I have helped you so much, you will never object to me and Zixue again." "Actually, now it's more because of my mother, I don't have a bottom on the matter of the Zixue sisters now, and the possibility that they don't forgive me is very big.

The duke's excitement calmed down, wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Yes, you have helped me so much, I really can't stop you and Zixue, as long as she is willing, I am very much in favor of you being together." What are your plans now? ”

His last question was obviously asking when I was going to pick up my mother for him, and I smiled, "I want to go to Zixue first, can you tell me her whereabouts?"

The Duke said: "Of course, she and her sister and some classmates went to participate in the friendship exchange of the four major academies of the Dragon God on behalf of Tiandu Academy, in Xilun City's Xilun Academy, you will definitely be able to find them there, they have not been gone for a long time, the exchange competition should start the day after tomorrow." From here, it can be reached in three days. ”

I nodded, "Thank you, Lord Duke, then I will leave now, and the next time I see you, I will definitely bring that lady with me." ”

The duke's face showed a happy face, and he smiled: "Then thank you very much, don't be too anxious, you must pay attention to safety, you, you say hello to her for me, just say that I always think about her, no matter what happens, I will always be ......" The duke's face blushed, but there was a determined look in his eyes, and he continued: "Love her forever." ”

I was moved in my heart, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring her back to see you safely, and you should also pay attention to take care of your health." I took my leave. ”

The Duke himself sent me to the palace gate and watched me disappear into the darkness of the night.

Knowing the whereabouts of Zixue and them, my heart is much more relaxed, how should I get to Xilun City? I opened the map I carried, the map showed that Xilun City is in the south of the imperial capital, this is good, it is farther away from the White Smoky Mountain, if I let the Beast Emperor know my current actions, I will definitely say that I do not distinguish between public and private, but, anyway, what is the so-called multicolored glow is originally some ethereal thing, leave it alone for the time being, and the people of the dragon god are not so easy to find that treasure. It's better to go and make it clear to Zixue and them first when your beliefs are firm.

Out of the imperial capital, I found a place where no one was, transformed into a four-winged fallen angel, and flew quietly, heading towards Xilun at full speed, while flying, I thought to myself, if I had stayed in Tiandu Academy, maybe I would have had my share in this competition. I wasn't worried about Zi Yan's safety at all, although she would be on the field for an exchange match, with her appearance and the divine aura she exuded, no man could raise the idea of hurting her.

The cool breeze in the air made me feel refreshed, the dark magic in my body was running slowly, and the energy in my body was always at its peak. At this rate, we will be almost at our destination tomorrow morning.

Just when I felt that my strength was strong, suddenly, a strange energy rushed into my brain, my eyes became gray, the breath of death instantly wrapped my whole body, unspeakably uncomfortable, I was shocked, and hurriedly used the dark magic to expel this energy, but the dark magic did not reject them after meeting this energy, and flowed through the meridians as usual when I practiced.

There was a pinprick-like pain in my brain, and I broke out in a cold sweat, and I suddenly realized that this should be the death energy that my father said was still in my body. I didn't dare to slack off, carefully controlled the four wings and slowly descended to the ground, the breath of death continued to attack my senses, and the feeling of powerlessness that I had never felt before spread all over my body.

Dark energy is my greatest strength, even there is no way to do it, I can only barely endure it, there is a faint gray gas around my body, I can feel it, it is constantly eroding my meridians. Oh no, if it goes on like this, I'll be corrupted by it.

Since I transformed into a four-winged fallen angel, the spirit platform has always been extremely calm, I found that the dark magic seems to have a reciprocal effect on this terrible breath of death, so I quickly dispersed the dark magic, without the dark magic, my body changed back to its original state, and the feeling of powerlessness became stronger, but the speed of the spread of the death breath also weakened.

Since the dark magic power is not good, then I will try it with the mad god fighting qi, I gritted my teeth to control my consciousness, urging the pure mad god fighting qi in the dantian to slowly ascend, trying to use them to stop the spreading death aura, the two met, the death aura seemed to be a little afraid of the mad god fighting qi, shrunk back, I suddenly lifted my spirits, accelerated the release of the mad god fighting qi, the mad god fighting qi gradually gained the upper hand, and gradually forced the death aura to a corner, just when I wanted to use the mad god fighting qi to destroy it, the gray energy suddenly disappeared, disappeared without a trace, no matter how I searched, I couldn't find their existence。 As they disappeared, my body returned to normal, the feeling of powerlessness was gone, this energy came and went quickly, but it made my heart extremely heavy, because I knew that I didn't get rid of them, and God knows when the next one will be.

I sat on the ground, feeling for a moment unsure about my fate, if the energy of death continued to grow, one day they would destroy me. No wonder my father said that necromancers are terrible, it seems that the damage caused by forbidden spells to me will be with me for the rest of my life. Gradually, I felt that my whole body was soaked with sweat, slippery and greasy extremely uncomfortable, just when I was depressed, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves in my ears, I listened intently, about a dozen horses were speeding in my current direction, the sound gradually became clear, with extraordinary eyesight, I saw a line of human beings in various costumes riding horses rushing towards me.

As I got closer, I could see that there were eleven horsemen in all, most of them young men, only two middle-aged men over forty years old, each dressed as a samurai or a magician, and I struggled to my feet to get out of the way for them, when they also spotted me. The middle-aged man in the lead slowed down his horse and raised his hand to signal that his companions were in trouble.

When he came closer, he reined in the red steed he was sitting on, looked me up and down, and saw the muscles of my upper body as strong as steel (I fly bare-chested, otherwise, it would not be good to break one dress at a time, and the vest that Zi Yan gave me was made according to two wings, and now it is no longer appropriate to wear a transformation. He Wei'an's figure, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a harmonious voice: "Little brother, what's wrong with you, it's a big night, what are you doing here alone?"

I could feel the energy fluctuations emanating from his body, this person's strength was not bad, and he replied with a flat expression: "The night is pure, I practice here alone." ”

The middle-aged man looked at the sweat on my body, nodded and said, "This barren mountain and wilderness, it's better to go back early." ”

I took out a towel from the package, wiped my body, got dressed, and said, "I was going to go to Xilun City, but I walked here and saw that there were no people, so I practiced for a while, and then I went on my way." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Oh, you are also going to Xilun City, and so are we, if you don't mind, let's go on the road together, you are walking too slowly." We'll give you a horse. ”

My heart warmed, I looked at him, the middle-aged man's eyes revealed sincerity, this person is really enthusiastic, but I really don't dare to transform into a flight now, and the change that happened just now is still a little frightened when I think about it.

"Is this appropriate?"

The middle-aged man smiled: "What's suitable or inappropriate, my students are also young people, and they are not lonely when they are accompanied by many companions on the road." Siyu, you and Lianlu ride a horse and give yours to this little brother. ”

A girl in a blue magic robe in the back answered, jumped off her white horse, and got on the black horse of another girl in a red magic robe. Their magic robes were so large that I couldn't see their faces clearly.

I saluted the middle-aged man, "Thank you, uncle." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "What's polite, get on the horse, we should hurry too." ”

Riding on the white horse, my heart swelled up with thoughts of the black dragon, and the black dragon didn't know what was going on with Moyue.

So, I joined this small team of more than 10 people. I rarely spoke along the way, but from their conversations, I was surprised to learn that they were actually teachers and students from Songweaving Academy, one of the four major colleges that went to Xilun City to participate in the exchange, and the middle-aged man who invited me to join was the teaching director of Songweaving Academy, called Meng Qi (fierce punishment, ruthless enough, no wonder he was the teaching director).

"Hey, you don't talk much, what are you doing with this?" a young man in a black power suit said to me. I carry a hat with a veil.

I said indifferently: "There is wind and sand on the road, and I am used to carrying this thing." ”

The black-clothed young man stretched out his hand to me and said, "Let's get to know me, my name is Feng Duo, and I am a second-year student of the martial arts department of Songweaving Academy." I shook his hand and nodded, "My name is Lei Xiang, and I'm a wanderer." ”

A strange smile appeared on Feng Duo's face, and I felt his hands suddenly become hot, it turned out that this kid's vindictiveness was more masculine. I didn't care about letting him hold it. The smile on Feng Duo's face gradually faded, and he found that no matter how hard he tried, my hands were neither soft nor hard, neither fighting back nor flinching.

Meng Fu noticed the anomaly on our side and shouted, "Feng Duo, what are you doing. "Slow down and stand side by side with us.

Feng Duo let go of his hand awkwardly and said, "Teacher Meng, it's nothing, I just want to get to know Brother Lei Xiang." ”

Meng Que glared at him reproachfully, and just wanted to say something, Feng Duo rushed to say: "Brother Lei, your sword looks very chic, can you let me see it?"

As soon as I stretched out my hand, I took off the ink and handed it to him, Feng Duo reached out to take it, because he was not prepared, his hand sank down violently, and almost dropped the ink to the ground. ”

Meng Que was also shocked, so I didn't blame him anymore, I ignored Feng Duo, and said to Meng Que: "Teacher Meng, how do you communicate between the four colleges?"

Meng Qi sighed and said: "What kind of exchange, in fact, it is to compete with each other, to compete for fame, to see which academy has stronger kung fu, this invitational tournament is held by the four major colleges in turn, this time it is the turn of Xilun, no matter where it is, the exchange of the four major colleges will be open to the local people, to promote martial arts, all along, our Songweaving Academy has always been the weakest of the four colleges, this time, just to report the mentality of meeting friends with martial arts." ”

"Oh, what's the competition?"

Meng Mo smiled and said: "At first glance, you are also a martial artist, the competition between our four major academies is nothing more than drawing lots first, divided into two sides for the competition, each side will send six students, one by one, if you lose, you will go down, if you win, you will continue until all the students on one side fail." The two houses that won and lost had a day off and then played again. Finally, the seats of the houses are arranged, and each college allows one or two substitutes, who can change the formation on the spot. You don't know, in order to compete for the name of this Dragon God First Academy......" Speaking of this, he sighed.

I nodded, "I hope you can win." ”

Meng Que shook his head and said, "The strength of the other three academies is almost equal, and we are a little worse, and we will definitely be eliminated in the first round." To tell the truth, as long as the academy can produce an outstanding talent, he will have a great advantage in the competition, such as the upper realm, Tiandu Academy has a Riva, he alone defeated five people in our academy, and we can only abstain. Talent is rare. ”

"Well, I used to stay in the capital, I heard that Riva has been promoted to the dragon knight, this time without him, don't you have more opportunities?"

Meng Que said: "It's not that simple, think about it, if the academy is ranked high, it will naturally attract more talents, who knows if there are any powerful newcomers in their families this time." Lei Xiang, I see that your foundation and foundation are good, and you are not very old, are you interested in joining our Songweaving Academy, the teachers of our college are still good. ”

Dizzy, he didn't let me go on the road with them because of this. I shook my head and said, "No need, I won't tell you the truth, I went to Xilun City this time to find someone." And I don't think there's any need for me to go to the academy anymore. ”

Although my words were arrogant, Meng Lu did not feel that I was arrogant, but was taken aback by the domineering aura that emanated from me.

Feng Duo on the side pouted and said: "Brother Lei, learning is very important to a person, the so-called life to learn from the old, our Songweaving Academy is very good." He gave me a strange look and whispered, "Besides, there are a lot of beautiful women." Surprisingly, Mong did not stop him from saying this, as if he had not heard.

Feng Duo pointed to Siyu and Lianlu, who were riding a horse in front of him, obviously telling me that they were beautiful women. I'm not grateful for these, I haven't dealt with my current relationship problems, let alone find a new love, for beauties, I'm very uninterested now, and I'm afraid to avoid them.

As soon as I stretched out my hand, I inhaled the ink and the mad god burst out, and my whole body exuded a fierce momentum to cover Feng Duo. Feng Duo's whole body trembled, and he almost fell off his horse, barely trying to use his fighting spirit to resist my momentum, his face pale and speechless. I smiled in my heart, retracted my compelling momentum, and said, "Now, do you think I still need to go to your academy?" I don't want them to make senseless entanglements in order to let me join the Matsuori Academy, and they can only show a little strength to make them retreat.

Feng Duo's whole body was light, unable to speak, and Meng Yu on the side felt that the energy I emitted was not weaker than him in the slightest, and he was shocked in his heart, "It turns out that Little Brother Lei is deeply hidden, I really want to know who can train such an excellent disciple as you." ”

I smiled and said, "It's rude, maybe you'll know when you get to Silun City." ”

Meng Fu knew that it was hopeless to accept me as a disciple, so he sighed and urged his mount to rush to the front.

A delicate voice came: "What's crazy, do you think our academy is very rare for you?" "The fire mage Lianlu, who was wearing a red magic robe in front of her, was furious. Leaning sideways, he swung his staff and threw a large string of beaded fireballs at me.

Meng Fu shouted: "Lotus dew, no. ”

This is a third-level magic, seeing that she can use it so quickly, obviously the magic is not weak, I silently recited the incantation, and a soft enchantment appeared in front of me, and a series of fireballs hit my enchantment with bursts of ripples, and a puff of white smoke disappeared.

Si Yu, a water magician who rode with her, said in surprise, "Water Mirror Technique." ”

I used a water-based second-level defense magic, but I blocked her third-level attack magic, and I immediately saw that I stopped the lotus dew who still wanted to make a move, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't make a mistake, don't you see it?"

Lianlu said angrily: "I can't get used to his arrogant appearance. ”

Am I arrogant? Why don't I realize it, it seems that I need to pay attention.

I picked up Mo Ming and said in a harmonious voice, "If you have any offense just now, please forgive me." ”

Lianlu snorted and stopped talking, and a small storm passed.

Feng Duo whispered to me: "Brother Lei, your kung fu is so good, even that spicy girl is deflated, hehe." "It seems that this kid has suffered from lotus dew, otherwise he wouldn't be so gloating.

In order not to make them think that I was too arrogant, I said lightly: "Kung fu is practiced, as long as you put in the effort, you will definitely be rewarded." ”

A sturdy student who was also lagging behind said: "Although hard work is important, but the surname of enlightenment must also be indispensable, the faster the comprehension will naturally progress, Brother Lei, we are almost the same age, but your kung fu is going to surpass us, I really admire it." "I know his name is Tianxing, and like me, he rarely speaks, but I can see that among these students, his kung fu is the highest.

I said humbly: "Brother Tianxing's skills are only higher than mine, but they are not as sharp as me. ”

Tianxing smiled slightly and shook his head noncommittally.

............

"Ah, you see, this is the city of Silun. The active Bondo shouted.

At the far end of the horizon, a large city appeared in our field of vision, in terms of scale, this city was not inferior to the capital of the dragon god, Meng Du said: "Yes, that is Xilun, let's hurry up and strive to enter the city before noon, the people from the other three major academies may arrive early." ”

As soon as we entered Xilun City, we were stopped by several young warriors, and one of them said politely, "Excuse me, are you from Matsuori Academy?"

Meng Wei smiled and nodded, "Yes." Who are you?"

Bushido said: "We are cadets of the Xilun Academy, and we are in charge of waiting for you here. ”

Meng Fu motioned for everyone to dismount, nodded at the warrior, and said, "Then please lead the way." ”

The samurai gave a salute, turned around and walked in front, I walked up to Meng Fu's side, and said, "Teacher Meng, thank you for taking care of you along the way, I think, it's time for us to break up." ”

Meng Wei said: "Since you are here, come with us." ”

I shook my head, "No, I've already troubled you a lot, and I'll go to watch the ceremony when you participate in the academy exchange." "If you go with them, you will definitely meet people from Tiandu, and I don't want to meet them so early.

Meng Fu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't keep you." Be careful, and if you want to come to our academy in the future, you are always welcome. ”

I said a few more polite words, and watched them leave with the reception of the samurai, and when they parted, Feng Duo also gave me a small gem, saying that it was kept as a souvenir, although it was not a precious thing, but it made me feel a warm current in my heart, and the emotions between human beings were indeed much heavier than those of demons and beasts. Lianlu, on the other hand, glared at me fiercely as she passed me, and it seemed that she still had some resentment, although she couldn't see her face clearly, but her big bright eyes with hatred left a deep impression on me.

Xilun City is very lively, obviously related to the drive of this exchange, I finally found a hotel to settle down, listen to the waiter here said, as early as a few days ago, many hotels have been full, and most of them are young people, all come to see this four colleges exchange competition.

I put the burden in my room, ate something casually, and lay quietly on the bed, thinking in my head, tomorrow, I will be able to see Zi Xue and Zi Yan who are thinking about Chao Simu, when will I explain it to them, go directly to them? No, that will affect Zi Yan's performance in the exchange competition, so let's wait until the exchange competition is over to meet them. Thinking of this, my heart lightened, and I could drag it back for two more days. I also knew that I was running away, but I really didn't want to lose them.

Walking out of the hotel, the street was bustling with activity, and there were many people openly setting up a village, pressing who would be the final winner of this competition. As soon as I inquired, I learned that this was set up by the management class of Xilun City, and it was absolutely guaranteed. I walked to a booth with more people, there was a big sign there, on which there were the odds of several colleges, the highest odds were Songweaving Academy, which reached one to twenty-four, followed by Tiandu Academy, which was one to sixteen, and then Xilun Academy was one to eight, and the lowest odds were to win the championship, that is, the favorite Fengtong Academy was only one to two. I asked curiously to the people on the side: "Isn't Tiandu Academy the champion of the upper realm, why are the odds so high?" ”

The people next to me looked me up and down, and said, "You're not a local, do you want to make a bet?" Let me tell you, the people in the Tiandu Academy are no longer good, their ace student Riva has been promoted to the Dragon Knight, I heard that this time they didn't report the hope of winning the championship at all, they just want to train and train the young students, and wait for the lower realm to fight." And Fengtong Academy is different, they have the strongest combination, the players who participated in the competition have four martial arts students and two magic students, all of whom have participated in the upper realm competition, each of them has good strength, and they are the favorites to win the bid, but unfortunately there is a Riva in the sky, and one person defeated the three of them, so he was the runner-up, I think, no matter how this year, Fengtong will not give other academies a chance. That's why his odds are so low. Tell you, I'm going to press them for 50 gold, and if I win, hehe......"
