(Who's there?)

If you listen closely, it looks like the sound of children playing. It was winter, and although there was no snow for the past two days, it was still cold, and these children must have been very lively to come out to play in this cold weather. Bored and curious, Nile couldn't help but walk around to see what was going on.

The sound came from the hillside on the left. The slope is not very steep, but still quite steep, covered with snow, and reflected by the sun, becomes a dazzling flash. A few children and teenagers took some wooden planks as mats and slid down the slope, throwing snowballs at each other and playing with each other along the way.

"Oh, that seems interesting......"

Nier was very interesting, thinking about it, before reuniting with her brother and following him to the end of the world, she stayed alone in her hometown, and also had a very ordinary childhood, a game like this, I vaguely played it in my memory, but ...... When was that, and why is it only a hazy patch in retrospect?

Confused for a moment, Nill was about to think about it, but the laughter of the children attracted her attention, and when she looked up, she was there.

(Oh!...... Pretty Girl!)

Among the children, there was the eldest girl, who could almost be regarded as a maiden, extremely delicate, petite, fair-skinned, and beautiful against the surrounding snow, like a fairy in the snow.

Niel herself is a woman who is considered beautiful by many people, but she is still dumbfounded by the little beauty who throws snowballs with her companions and laughs like a dreamy picture.

The feeling of amazement comes in part from the impact of the soul, because this girl's beauty is a completely different type from herself. Compared with her vibrant sunny beauty, she is like a perfectly shaped cute doll, from the eyes, the bridge of the nose, the small mouth, the small fingers, to every soft hair, it looks so cute and cute, I want to pick her up, and rub it tirelessly.

I heard that some children are born with a pleasing charm, regardless of gender, old and young, and when they see her, they want to love her, and stuff all the sweets, cookies, and pocket money into her arms. It seems that this is the feeling that rises in my heart now......

It's really strange, such a child should not be forgotten after watching it once, why didn't he see it in Kiglo last time?

Fang Zi wondered, there was a voice behind him, it was almost noon, and the families called their children back for lunch. Hearing the call of their parents, the children scattered in a hurry, leaving only two or three slow hands and feet, still packing their things.

The cute beautiful girl didn't leave, she was still playing a game of boardboarding, and she seemed reluctant to go back like this. Niel's heart moved, and she wanted to go up and say a few words to her, but she was shocked by what she heard in her ears again.

"Sojiro, let's go to Luo, let's play again in the afternoon. ”

Speaking simply, a single sentence almost made Niel's jaw drop to the ground, the meaning of the words was very ordinary, but that title ......

Sojiro?This cute and cute beautiful girl...... It's even more strange why does this sense of astonishment feel familiar?

It is not surprising that children of this age have delicate and tender voices, and it is not surprising that they can't hear the gender, but it is really hard to imagine that a child who is so beautiful is actually a man, which is really a pity, is the creator blind? Why are all men more beautiful than women recently?

Just as he was wondering, the boy raised his head, as if he had noticed his gaze, and then laughed, and with a kind and flattering smile, Niel forgot everything in an instant, and ran quickly.

"Little brother, it's noon, aren't you going home for dinner...... Ahh

Nier screamed, but she didn't expect the child to move so fast, and suddenly she pounced, as if she was coquettish, and hugged her waist tightly.

If it was Gengoro who did this kind of thing, he would definitely have been beaten into the air by now with Nier's Heavenly Demon Skill, but for this child, Nier didn't feel any doubts about being taken advantage of on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was also attracted by his temperament, so she just slowly took him to sit down.

Gently touching his head, his hair was black and shiny, and it felt very soft, like fine silk satin, high in a bunch, hanging straight to his waist. This really makes me a little curious, because a young boy at this age rarely has such long hair, and he will not have the patience to maintain it so well.

The child's hands and skin were very cold, and Nier noticed that although he was wearing a cotton coat, it was quite thin, and it was obviously not warm, and she felt distressed, so she took off a leather jacket that had been draped on her body and put it on her body for him.

"Hey, Sojiro, can you let go of your hand, otherwise how are you going to put this dress?"

"Big Sister ......"

Hearing the sound up close, the feeling in the ear is really delicate and crisp, just like a singing boy who is specially raised to sing in the court, Nier regrets at the same time, but also sighs how she doesn't have such a lovely brother and sister who can let herself rest assured to spoil.

"You smell good. ”

It should be the meaning of praising himself for being so fragrant, Nier understands it this way, if it was Gengoro, it must have been a stone thrown over, but in such a cute little boy, Nier was full of joy at his compliment, and only had to say a few words, but when he raised his head, it was a brainless question.

"Big sister, are you human......? Is it human?"

Even if it wasn't the grumpy Nier, anyone would be furious at this question, but maybe the little boy in front of him was too likable, and Nier, who wanted to lose her temper, couldn't raise the slightest anger, just stretched out her finger and touched his nose, and said with a smile: "Of course my sister is a human, this is not a martial arts, and my sister is so beautiful, could it be an orc? It's rude to say this, you can't do it next time!"

The most discouraged part is that he obviously wants to lose his temper a little to show the majesty of the elderly, but when he touches the nose of the beautiful boy, his heart is full of proud joy, and his face is almost crooked with a smile.

(Ran into a ...... Such a cute little boy, I really touched it with my hand!)

Looking at his cute appearance of exhaling hot air in the cold wind and trying to warm his little hands, Nile wanted to take out some biscuits and candy and other things to share with the child, but when she was born, she didn't think about anything, and she didn't have anything with her. I want to pick some tree fruits and wild strawberries, but I don't have the ability to identify grass and trees like my brother, and the snowflakes cover the mountains, and it is impossible to find any fruits.

Alas, it would be nice if Gengoro were here, and if he had come with him, he, who had always prepared everything, would definitely come with hot food......

"Sojiro, is your name Sojiro? What's your last name?

"My surname is Okita, and Sojiro is my name, but Master said that men should have more handsome names, so he named me Soji. What about the eldest sister?"

When Sojiro asked so innocently with a crisp voice, the girl almost shed tears of emotion. After all this time, she finally had the opportunity to say her name in her own mouth, rather than being humiliated by being introduced to that stupid name that was extremely difficult to hear.

"My sister has a very elegant and beautiful name, which my sister spent a lot of time looking up books to find. But you can simply call me Sister Niel. ”

With the power of heaven, even if it is cold, Nier does not have the slightest chill, just teases Sojiro to talk, although he doesn't talk about anything, but for Nier, as long as she can look at this cute little face, look at this extremely cute boy, and talk to herself with a very innocent and shy expression, it is a kind of enjoyment.

Sojiro said that he had come out to find the master. The Master's messenger brought him here and delivered the Master's message that he would meet him here two days ago and ask him to wait in Kigru.

"Two days ago, weren't you released here for two days? It's too bad, Sojiro, you and your eldest sister go back together, go to my place and stay for a while, and then slowly find your unconscionable master!"

Nier angrily wanted to take Sojiro back to the North Gate Tianguan, but the boy shook his head embarrassedly, and said softly: "Master said that to be a man, you have to be trustworthy, moral, and make an agreement with others, you must do it, so I must wait for him here, although he often gets lost, and he can't figure out the southeast and northwest, but he is very credit-worthy, even if it takes a thousand or two thousand years, he will come here to find my ......"

"One or two thousand years? By then, Sojiro had already become an old man......

Looking at Sojiro's serious expression, Nier only had a staggering share, she really waited for a thousand or two thousand years so stupidly, I am afraid that it will not freeze into the Wangshi Stone and become a scenic spot here. However, it feels really weird, often lost and can't figure out the south, east and west, how can this kind of person seem to be familiar with him?

"You...... Your master...... Could it be ......?"

"What is it? Big Sister. ”

"No, I should be mistaken, impossible ......"

No matter how you think about it, I think this idea is too ridiculous, there are a lot of road idiots in the world, and not everyone is surnamed Amakusa, and he is ranked fourth, and such a cute child, how can he have anything to do with that guy?

In the end, when Niel had to leave and Sojiro insisted on staying here, Niel reluctantly parted with the boy, and promised that she would return to the place tomorrow to bring food and clothes for Sojiro.

"Sojiro, you're going to wait here tomorrow, and I'll bring a gift to you. ”

"Well, my little thunder ran into the woods and disappeared, and tomorrow I will find it and show it to my eldest sister. ”

"Oh, little Lei, is it your pet?"

"Well, it's cute, my big sister will love it. ”

Lancelot's coma caused chaos among the city's leaders. Ailing panicked and hurriedly informed Lancelot's personal attendant, that is, the chief staff member Cangyuecao. When the familiar beauty staff appeared in front of her, Ailing couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

"White, White Three ......"

"That's it, little girl. ”

"People, people...... Psychopathic shemales......"

"Uh, it doesn't seem to be what you think......"

It took a little time to explain, but in the end, the two of them worked together to bring Lancelot back to his residence and carefully diagnose him.

Through the primeval magic path and magic magic, the two came to the same conclusion, because of the interference of some external force, Lancelot was in a state of chaos with no consciousness, but since this external force was a relic from Huang Taiji, it should not cause any harm to Lancelot.

He wanted to entertain Erling, but after confirming that Lancelot was safe, he was in a hurry to leave. She had just received a summons that she was like a sister...... Well, sisters with a very special relationship...... The devil's doctor, Hua Bian Que, has arrived in Jixia City and wants to meet her. Being able to reunite with old friends, Ailing was very happy to cancel all trips and rush to the meeting.

Being able to understand Ailing's feelings, Xiaocao did not force her to stay, in fact, she was also very happy to be reunited with her sister.

"Sister. ”

"Miss, I'm very sorry, although I didn't get your instructions, but I judged the situation myself, and felt that Jixia might lack help, so I rushed back, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. ”

"Sister, you don't need to say that, we need help now, if it weren't for you, I don't know how to solve today's situation?"

Xiaocao hugged her sister affectionately, and although the other party was a little embarrassed, she still accepted the hug very restrainedly. It is the only thing I can do to let my sister, who has been thinking about and worrying about herself, feel the warmth from her family when she returns, and it is also what Sister Feng'er needs most.

When I think about it, I am really a very lucky person. Brother Bai Qi, Second Brother Wuji, Sister Feng'er, and Lancelot's husband, they are surrounded by their care and affection, and in comparison, is there too little thing I give back to them?

In the past, there was only Feng'er, but now there is another big brother, and I am really full of guilt for these two people, and I owe them something, and I may not be able to pay it off in this life......

"Miss, because of the need for manpower, I have brought an extra group of people this time, hoping to help. ”

Worried that the defense of Jixia City itself would be understaffed and that there would be a flaw in the outbreak of the overall battle, Feng'er specially contacted the hiring department of the Great Snow Mountain, and hired 500 Great Snow Mountain experts to go out on a mission at the cost of 10,000 gold coins and rush to Jixia. Although he is not a master, he has a high fighting quality and is used properly, and he believes that he can become a powerful surprise soldier.

It's just that it is impossible to directly participate in the war like this, which contradicts the school rules of the Great Snow Mountain, and it is impossible to agree, it is Feng'er who pretends to pass on the order of the old man in the mountain, and mobilizes people to come on the spot, when this employment contract is passed back to the Great Snow Mountain, it is conceivable that the old man's roar will definitely echo in the Great Snow Mountain!

Although she was helpless, she apologized to her teacher in her heart, but Feng'er still completed the reorganization of this strength and brought Jixia assistance as quickly as possible, in addition, it was also very gratifying to be able to successfully obtain the promised help from Senior Sister Hua. Now although there are many small heavenly masters on the Wind Continent, almost all of them have their own positions, and they will not change easily, there are very few free people like Senior Sister Hua, and she is not only martial arts, whether it is in magic, poison, medicine, she can not be underestimated, with her help, it is more substantial than getting a force of 10,000 people.

At this extremely difficult moment, the sudden appearance of my sister and the help of multiplying the odds of victory are really gratifying for Xiaocao. The two women were talking like this, and suddenly someone heard the announcement that His Royal Highness the Prince had woken up and was waiting for the two of them in the backyard.

Xiaocao and Feng'er glanced at each other, and they both felt strange, with Lancelot's personality, if he woke up and knew that Feng'er was back, he should have immediately come to meet and talk, how could he make such a mystery?

The two went to the backyard together, and at the same time saw that the servants in the palace explained the order of His Royal Highness the Prince, prohibiting idle people from entering the backyard, and the doubts in their hearts were even stronger, and before they stepped into the backyard, they heard Lancelot's voice coming.

“...... Pressed by someone's back, I have been looking up to the life of life, the pressure is too great, even if I can become the same person as you, but you really have no joy in life, live like you, it's better to die, so, the two of us should go our separate ways, I don't want to go your way anymore, man...... It should still be bold, free, and live a more colorful life!"

Lancelot, sitting alone in the gazebo, had his back to them, holding a swarthy object in his hand, and was talking to it.

Others may not be able to understand it, but Xiaocao, who was born in the Bai family and was given similar tools by Xiaocao, knew that Lancelot was using such a tool to talk to someone who was somewhere else, the question was, who was he talking to? The other party must also have such a tool, so there is a way to receive it, and there are only a handful of places in the world where there is this kind of primeval magic path equipment, Xiaocao even had a heartbeat, wondering if her husband was on the line with Brother Bai Qi.

“...... I think I already understand the meaning of those four words. If you don't have time to do it, leave it to me, and I'll fulfill your original dream, huh...... Do you think it's better to do that? Haha, you, even if you say it's not good, I won't dump you...... Let's talk about it first, I'm a carnivore with a strong animal nature, don't use vegetarian food to perfunctory me, hahaha...... Get in touch again!"

With that he had finished speaking, Lancelot cut the communication, turned around, crossed his hands over his chest, and looked at them with a smile.

"Husband, why are you like this, you don't say anything when you wake up, I ......"

"I'm sorry, this thing was given to me by Ailing girl two days ago, it took a while to figure out how to use it, I want to call West West Koga Island, please ask those guys to help me transfer, it took a little more time, delayed to you, forgive me!"

Xiaocao's words of concern came to an unexpected halt as he met Lancelot's gaze. The husband in the smile, even the eyes contain a shallow smile, but in this smile, there is something that he can't see through, he doesn't feel real, and he has strange feelings that make him not know how to deal with it for a while.

Feng'er also felt very strange, with her understanding of Lancelot, at this time he should have rushed directly to Xiaocao, the two couples hugged and said intimate words, and then eagerly told his wife all the reasons why he fainted, because his personality is so impatient and can't hide his thoughts.

Maybe it's because of this that he now makes himself feel a little abnormal. Leisurely and unhurried are not Lancelot's personality traits, however, his smile at the moment does exude a sense of leisure, which makes people feel ...... It's special.

"Husband, is there anything special? You seem to be ...... It's not quite the same anymore. The first to reply was Xiaocao, who spoke to her husband, and she wanted to know what information was hidden in Huang Taiji's relics?

"Well...... I woke up in good spirits, probably like that. Lancelot smiled: "By the way, there is a little gadget, I used to play with it, I just remembered it here, you probably haven't seen it, I'll play it for you!"

As he spoke, Lancelot took something out of his bosom like a big child eager to offer treasures to his relatives and friends. Nothing special, just a leaf that had been picked by hand earlier, but when Lancelot put the leaf to his lips and blew it in his throat, the grass and the maple felt like they had been struck by thunder.

The music is very beautiful and soft, like a breeze slowly blowing through the treetops, and like flowing water swirling and then flowing between the gravel of a stream, reverberating high and low, although it is just ordinary music, but from it it seems to transform other sounds, ape singing, wind howling, cloud dancing, and even the primeval star language, as if flying and bounced in the music, directly into the listener's heart, rippling in bursts.

It is difficult for anyone who is not familiar with Lancelot to imagine that he can play such a tune, in fact, even if he is close to Niel, he would never know that his brother has such a skill. However, Xiaocao and Feng'er both knew that one night many years ago, the two had listened to this song together, and just like at this moment, tears silently crawled down their cheeks because of the shaking of their hearts.

At the end of the song, Lancelot put down the blades of grass, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and made a triumphant gesture to the two beauties in front of him.

"It's been a long time since I've performed this hand, and if you have the privilege of hearing it today, you should have to pay for it. ”

"Big ...... Eldest brother...... You...... Isn't it ......" I don't know when, his voice became choked, and he unconsciously used the title that had been in his heart for a long time, Xiaocao walked towards her husband in a trembling voice, as if she wanted to say something, but Lancelot raised her hand and stopped her from speaking.

"We don't have a lot of time, there are only a few days left for that dead dwarf to open, I don't plan to let him control everything, at least not by him to take the initiative, so, early tomorrow morning, I will take the initiative to attack, this time, it will be a total attack, gambling on all the victory and defeat, if I succeed, I will take the power of Reins over and officially call the king the emperor, of course, if it fails, it will not be a head, then change to another place, maybe follow the example of my father-in-law, try to conquer the world!"

Lancelot shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, looking very relaxed, but both Grass and Maple had a strange feeling, and they found in this man a feeling they hadn't seen in a long time: confidence. Although I don't know where his confidence comes from, at this moment, he is not confused or hesitant, he does exude a kind of confidence and knows how to face the future, which makes the people next to him feel at ease.

"I don't like this kind of war, this way of playing, but in order to pay tribute to someone, let's play according to his rules this time!"

Lancelot shook his wife's hand, nodded and said, "Xiaocao, I'm going to trouble you this time." Your brother is not a man who will keep his word, and it is impossible that he did not expect that we would take the initiative to attack in advance, so when we attack tomorrow, he should also attack at the same time. What tactics he will use, we don't expect, in order to have full strength to face the battle, I want you to do me a favor, in tomorrow's battle, mobilize all the strength at your disposal. ”

"All the strength?"

"Yes. I don't know how much strength Reyns still has saved, so that it will be a bargaining chip when the demons return to the human world in the future, anyway, in tomorrow's battle, I want you to use all the resources that can be used in Jixia City. While we're engaged in the Celestial Battle, the rest of the battle will be left to you. ”

"But that's ......."

"Xiaocao, you have to think like this, no matter how powerful your brother is, there is only one person, compared to him, if the demon clan really comes back to the world, in addition to the army, there must be several heavenly masters to suppress the formation, far greater than the threat of tomorrow, if your chips can't even cope with tomorrow, are you qualified to use them to deal with the demons?"

The courage in the words made Xiaocao unable to refute, so she could only nod her head blankly, and then Lancelot whispered a few words in her ear.

“...... Well, that's it, please, wife. ”

Xiaocao was really surprised, the words that her husband explained now were obviously plotting, however, unlike the previous blind spoofs, this time he seemed to be very confident, and he was quite sure that the plan would succeed, but as for his certainty, he couldn't see it at all.

"Husband, how could you ......"

"I said it, after a good night's sleep, my mind is clearer, it's as simple as that...... It's just a matter of doing it or not doing it, it's always been like this. ”

Xiaocao was a little uneasy about such a change for a while, but the smile on Lancelot's face reassured her at the right time. Anyway, the husband seems to be happy now, sweeping away the gloomy appearance of the previous dejection, this change is a good thing, and he has no reason to oppose it.

There wasn't much time left before dawn, and those preparations took a lot of effort, Xiaocao left in a hurry to prepare for the war, leaving Feng'er standing alone in front of Lancelot, and the strange atmosphere made this beautiful swordsman who was used to hiding her emotions a little overwhelmed.

"Feng'er, thank you, if you didn't rush back, we must be very sad now, I heard that you also brought a large number of soldiers from the Great Snow Mountain to come, it's really hard for you. ”

Lancelot smiled and thanked him, and at the same time patted Feng'er on the shoulder honestly and unceremoniously, expressing his gratitude affectionately, the fearlessness contained in the smile made Feng'er feel strange, but there was a sense of familiarity that had not been seen for a long time.

"Lord Lancelot, if you don't have any other orders, I want to go down and do something. ”

"Wait a minute. ”

Before Maple slipped away, he grabbed her soft first, and saw the hesitation that flashed in her eyes, Lancelot smiled, "Tomorrow...... No, in a few hours, I will face a great difficulty, and in order to get through it, Feng'er, I would like to ask you to help me. ”

said that it was a difficulty, but judging from the smile on Lancelot's face, he didn't feel that there was any difficulty in the so-called difficulty, but Feng'er still kept his duty and bowed his head and said, "If it is your order, I will definitely ......"

"It's not an order, I don't have the qualifications to order you, and I hope this matter is out of your own will, not an ......order," Lancelot said, and couldn't help but laugh when he noticed Feng'er's solemn expression.

"Forget it, even if I say that, you probably won't understand, so let's make a bet. Since ancient times, it is easier for people who are blessed by beautiful women to succeed, so wait for the speech, I hope you can bless me. ”

"If it's for Lord Lancelot, I'll always pray for you, but I'm not good at the ...... of the clergy."

"You don't need to be good at it, let's make a bet. I'm a notorious bastard at Jishia, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone threw eggs at me on the road, but if I could get the crowd cheering on my speech in a minute, if I could actually do it...... Kaede, can I kiss you once?"

"Huh?"

Even if she was besieged by the three great divine swords, I am afraid that she would not be able to see Feng'er's panicked and uneasy expression, and seeing her uncontrollable emotions like this, like an ordinary daughter's family, Lancelot laughed happily, letting this proud and joyful laughter echo in the garden.
