Chapter 61: The Incident
The morning sun slowly rises from the east, spreading warmth to the earth, and Lake Santis remains calm, the alternation of light and darkness does not have any effect, but the forest of countless strange rocks is clearly revealed, showing its grandeur and making people feel uneasy from the bottom of their hearts.
Suddenly, a playful voice broke the peace: "Dio, I said why did you sneak out, the scenery here is really good......"
Dio immediately opened his eyes, turned around and whispered, "Be quiet!!" Raymond is too noisy, if the martial artist who guards Lake Santis feels that he is being disturbed again, then they will be in great trouble.
Raymond was stunned and exclaimed, "What are you doing?
Dio didn't care about explaining more, he jumped up directly, grabbed Raymond, and walked to the top of the mountain: "Don't talk, follow me!"
Seeing that Dio's expression was very nervous, Raymond finally closed his mouth, although Gordon was surprised, but did not ask, anyway, Dio would definitely be able to give an explanation.
As he walked through the strange rocks, Raymond couldn't help it anymore, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"There's a man here, don't anger him. β
"But I didn't do anything!" Raymond's voice raised a little, and he came all the way to Lake SantΓs, on the one hand, he wanted to see the scenery of the legends, and on the other hand, he was also looking for Dio, but as soon as they met, he was scolded by Dio, of course he would be a little angry in his heart, but as soon as the words came out, Raymond also realized that he was a little out of shape, if it was an ordinary situation, Dio would not be so nervous, he lowered his voice again: "That person is very strong?"
"A martial artist. Dio said softly.
"What?Wuzun??" Gordon was taken aback: "Dio, you saw it with your own eyes?!"
"Hmm. Dio nodded: "Last night, it happened that a few guys ran to the lakeside to shout, but that Wuzun suddenly appeared and killed all those guys who ruined the peace. β
"Really, fake?" Raymond was a little incredulous.
"What do you say?" asked Theo.
"That's too domineering!" Raymond said, "Lake Santis belongs to his family?!"
"Almost. "Dio, outsiders say this place is 'Lake Saintes', but the female martial artist says this place is 'Lake Tis Holy Land', although it is only in a different order, but it is enough to prove something.
"That guy is a descendant of Holy Warrior Tis?" Raymond's eyes widened.
"That's how it should be. β
Raymond was immediately silent, the Holy Warrior is the existence at the top of the continent, the powerhouses of this class represent legends, or they are legends themselves, even if he is bold one day, he will not dare to joke with the Holy Warrior Tice.
In a moment, they had reached the top of the mountain, and looking down, they could clearly see the azure Lake Santis lying quietly in the depths of the circular mountain pass, although the shape was a little irregular, but the color was as flawless as a piece of the finest sapphire.
Raymond looked at Lake Santis blankly, and for a moment, said in a helpless tone: "I knew earlier...... We're not coming. β
"Dio, have the descendants of the Holy Warriors discovered you?" asked Gordon suddenly.
"Found out. β
"He didn't hurt you?"
"I didn't make trouble, so why hurt me? Not everyone is as noisy as Raymond. Dio shrugged: "Also, let me correct it, she's a woman." β
"How old does the woman look like?" asked Gordon.
"It's about twenty. β
Gordon became silent, in fact, to see if a warrior has a future, you can get an accurate answer by observing the appearance, the strength is on the rise, then the warrior will not age, it can be said that he will stay young forever.
Once it enters the period of decline, then the appearance of the warrior will age at an extremely rapid rate, within three or five years, and the longest will not exceed ten years, his source power will disappear, and then he will usher in death.
After a long time, Raymond broke the silence: "That...... Why are we going? We can't stay here and blow the wind, can we?"
"Let's go back. "Theo Dao, with Raymond and Gordon here, not only will he not be able to cultivate, but he will also have to worry about avoiding interfering with the problem of that martial venerable, so it is better to go back to Santis City.
"His grandmother's, didn't he run for nothing?" Raymond sighed.
"And what else do you want to do?" asked Theo.
Raymond opened his mouth, but did not speak, yes, Dio had a point, what else was there to do? The mighty Martial Venerable was hidden in the shadows, and he could pop up from time to time, and he had no interest in laughing.
"Let's go. Gordon said.
Several people walked down the snow-capped mountain, the vast grassland was like an emerald green carpet, just spread in front of them, giving people a pleasing feeling, it took more than an hour, they finally walked out of the foot of the mountain, Gordon's eyesight was very good, at a glance saw a very small figure running towards them from the other end of the grassland, he called softly: "Huh, who is over there?"
Dio and Raymond looked in the direction of Gordon's finger and saw the figure, Dio said, "It seems to be Xueni, what is she doing?"
"I guess it's something to do with us. Raymond said in a tone of uncertainty that was not quite right.
"We're here and waiting. Gordon said.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the small figure was getting closer and closer, and now Raymond and Gordon recognized the person, and sure enough, it was Xueni.
However, compared to yesterday's drinking party, Xue Ni seems to have become a different person.
The main thing is the expression, yesterday's Xue Ni smiled skillfully, and her surname also seemed very easy-going, her delicate beauty covered all the girls present, even Isabel was eclipsed, but today's Xue Ni has a strained face, her eyes are threatening and murderous.
"Shelly, why are you here?" called Raymond.
Xue Ni didn't answer, just slowed down and walked slowly towards them.
Dio and the others glanced at each other, something was wrong!
In a moment, Xue Ni had already walked more than ten meters in front of them, and then her eyes swept over Dio and the others one by one, and suddenly asked in a deep voice, "You killed Chrissy?"
Dio and the others felt their hearts sink at the same time, and the case was ...... But at this time, what can they say? Caught off guard, the different expressions of the three people have made the prevarication meaningless.
Xue Ni closed her mouth again, quietly looking at Dio and the other three, although she didn't do it immediately, her presence was a kind of pressure.
Raymond smiled and his eyes shining, silently looking back at Shelly, Gordon's face covered in frost, and Dio took a long breath.
Within half a year, Xue Ni could become an Extreme Samurai, breaking the record of being the youngest since the establishment of the Santis Academy, and facing a top-tier Radiant Samurai in peak condition. The three of them teamed up, can they really compete with Xue Ni?
The two sides looked at each other like that, and neither spoke, and even the wind that blew between them became cold.
I don't know how long it took, the corners of Xueni's mouth suddenly turned upward, and then showed a smile as bright as spring: "Good job." β
Dio, Raymond and Gordon all turned into statues, Xueni changed too much before and after, this strong sense of disparity, they almost couldn't believe their eyes and ears, for a moment, or Dio was the first to react, and asked softly in an inquiring tone: "Miss Xueni, you ......"
"I hate Chrissy. Xue Ni said slowly: "All of them...... I can't guarantee it, but I can tell you that most of the students at Santis College will not sympathize with Chriss, let alone grieve for Chrissy. β
"Miss Xueni...... Raymond breathed a sigh of relief, and cried out with a smile, "In the future...... Don't be so scaresome!"
"Aren't you very bold, even if you dare to kill Chriss, and you will be afraid of me?" said Xueni with a smile.
"It's different!" Raymond exclaimed, "She was going to kill us, so we did it." β
"Then why didn't you just do it?" said Xueni.
Gordon and Raymond looked at each other, deliberately ignoring the embarrassing question, and refusing to do it simply because they were not sure...... Otherwise, the battle would have broken out long ago.
"Oops! Ellie......" Dior suddenly thought of Ellie.
"When you think of Elle, it's irreparable. Xue Ni smiled, "Don't worry, now Elle is in a safe place." β
"Miss Shelly, how do you know that Chriss's death is related to us?" asked Theo.
"You should ask Isabel this question. Xue Ni said, "My mission is to bring you to the harbor. β
"Mission?" Gordon couldn't help frowning, "What are you doing at the harbor?"
"Isabel told me, don't you want to cross the Storm Sea to the Crystal City?"
Raymond immediately looked at Dio: "Dio, have you talked to Isabel?"
"Hmm. Dio nodded, it seemed that Xue Ni could be trusted, otherwise it would be impossible to know so much, he was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "At yesterday's cocktail party, many people knew our identity, didn't it...... Caused Isabel a lot of trouble?"
"She can handle it. Xue Ni smiled and said, "Don't look at her always being lazy in her cultivation, but her mind is very smart, for her, this trouble is not a problem at all, and besides, her fiancΓ© has returned to Santis City this morning, and without his help, Elle would not have been able to escape to the harbor, you know? β
Dio was silent, he knew very well that Chernie's words were telling him not to forget Isabel's help to you in the future. Although Chrissy's two guards are extreme samurai, they can't make waves, and the Santis Academy is not easy to mess with, the problem is that Chrissy is young and not very strong, but she has the title of viscount, which is higher than Sophia's father, the barony with hundreds of miles of fiefdom, which can completely prove Chrissy's origin, Isabel resolutely stepped in to help them, and the pressure will never be small, without Xueni's emphasis, it is impossible for him to forget what he owes today.
