Solandale made it clear that she would not be embarrassed, and that she was theoretically safe.

But Shangguan Xue was really frightened by tonight's raid, and she didn't take the regular path, and she didn't want her luggage, so she directly took Shangguan Ba and Niko to escape with the earth shrinking technique.

Solandale kept her promise and stood in the way.

The land shrinking technique was launched dozens of times in a row, and Shangguan Xue and the others finally left the realm of the cardinal province.

Although they are still in the kingdom, they have moved such a long distance in a short period of time, even if Solandel repents and wants to send people to arrest them again, it will definitely be beyond the reach of the whip.

It's safe, it's really safe.

At this time, it was already dawn, Shangguan Xue found a cave and was using restorative yin-yang techniques to help Niko connect bones.

Although Shangguan Xue majored in offensive spells, she was extremely talented and proficient in other areas of spells, and it only took an hour to reconnect Niko's broken bones.

The night of terror coupled with the continuous release of high-level spells, Shangguan Xue was already exhausted, and after slackening, he directly leaned against the stone wall, looking at the rising sun outside and muttering: "A few hours ago, I thought I wouldn't be able to see today's sunrise."

As soon as Shangguan Xue's words fell, Niko staggered to her feet and walked out of the cave.

Shangguan Xue frowned and shouted when she saw this: "Hey! Although your bones are connected, you still need to cultivate for a while, don't move. ”

Niko came to the entrance of the cave, looked at the surrounding terrain, and said in a deep voice, "I am going to find Master Chino, Solandel has murdered him, and I must tell him about the situation!" ”

Shangguan Xue was so angry that she almost laughed, and said angrily: "I really don't understand, why are there a bunch of stupid people around Qinuo?"

"There are those who don't want to die for the girl

There are those who claim to be righteous and seek their own death, there are those who lose their lives when they think of it, and there are those who think they are smart and end up half dead. ”

"Now there's another one like you, don't look at the situation, just rush forward with a hard head! Are you taking Chino for an idiot? Think he's not as good at obtaining information as you, and there's something in the world that you know he doesn't know? ”

"What can you do when you go back? There is a qualitative gap between your strength and his, and you can't help him much! He doesn't need your help! You're of little use to him anymore, can't you find a way out for yourself?! ”

Niko ripped strips of cloth from her clothes, tied her swollen ankles tightly, and said heavily: "Doing his duty to report the crisis and whether what he is reporting is valuable to him are two different things. I only care about the former, not the latter. ”

Shangguan Xue's expression was complicated, she was really helpless about this loyal girl, she turned her face away and said no more: "Whatever you want, my legs are on you, I can't control it." You look for him slowly, Shangguan Ba and I are ready to leave. ”

Niko glanced at Shangguan Xue and didn't say anything more.

She begged Shangguan Xue to stay for an extra month before, causing people to almost suffer yesterday, and she was already reluctant to go, but if she still lingers on it now, it will be a little selfish.

Niko lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Later. Can I still see you? ”

Shangguan Xue didn't look at Niko, and she didn't know if she was cold by nature, or if she felt that the gaze at the time of separation could only increase her sadness, so she said silently: "It should be the last one." I just want to get away from this messy world right now, and hide as far away as possible. ”

…

When Niko was silent, she suddenly felt something

When something was handed over, she subconsciously caught it and found that it was Shangguan Xue's frost-white flower umbrella.

Shangguan Xue whispered: "Let's take a souvenir." ”

Niko held the flower umbrella and asked blankly, "Isn't this your weapon?" Without it, how can you protect yourself in the future? ”

Shangguan Xue deliberately said in a mocking tone: "I'm a top-level onmyoji who can urge the heart seal, weapons are not necessities, and this umbrella is only used to keep out the rain most of the time." ”

"By the way, I've left some defensive spells on the umbrella that take effect immediately, and if you open them in case of danger, they should protect you from finding Chino."

No matter how stupid Niko is, she can hear that the first half of the sentence is an excuse, and the second half of the sentence is the goal.

Niko was a little overwhelmed with the flower umbrella and wanted to return it, but she felt that she had disappointed Shangguan Xue's intentions, so she could only hold it tightly in her arms: "I will always carry it"

The moment Niko's words fell, a fresh breeze blew across her cheeks, and the sporadic spell energy was like petals lifted by the wind, covering her vision for a moment.

Niko looked at the scattered petals, only the light of the rising sun, and the two figures, one large and one small, had disappeared.

After parting with the Shangguan siblings, Niko embarks on a journey to find Chino.

With no clues, nowhere to ask, and Chino's unpredictable schedule, Niko faces great difficulties.

This time, however, Lady Luck favored Nico, and her search didn't last long, as she had just made her way to the first leg of her journey when she found Chino.

And this is also the place where Chino's ascent to the top began - Twilight City.

Chino is leaving to fly

After the province of Kite, he returned to Twilight, where the defenders did not have the courage to fight alone, and for the sake of his subordinates' lives, the defenders led the people to surrender, and the consul ran away on the same day.

It's also a bit funny, after ten years of going around and around, Chino actually sat in the old office again.

At this time, Niko was in the office to report to Chino, informing Shangguan of the departure of the siblings, and also relayed the words left by Solandelle to Chino.

Chino ignored the murderous words and sighed, "I always thought that the smartest person among these people who followed me was Paladin. But now it seems that the girl who usually talks very little is smarter than everyone else. ”

Thinking of danger so seeking safety, thinking about retreat so can advance.

This criterion, the tenacious Roman failed to do, did not think of danger, did not consider a way out, infatuated with his life to the girl he loved the most, and finally separated from her life and death.

The self-proclaimed righteous Baiza failed to do it, did not retreat in the face of danger, tried to do something that would never have been possible with his own ability, went to death on a road, and finally fell in front of fate.

The loyal Lugo failed to do it, although he thought of the danger and was prepared, but because of the kindness of a thought, he failed to retire, leaving a loyal name, but ended up in a different place.

Paladin, the most intelligent of all, failed to do so, walking on thin ice all year round, cautiously, treading on the edge of the abyss, and in the end he still had one foot in the air, and could only drag his disabled body to survive in the world.

Only Shangguan Xue, a girl who has no fatal fault for more than ten years, no outstanding achievements, and has no sense of existence many times, has seen through everything early

With the great wisdom of life in his heart, he took his thoughts and worries to the extreme, and retreated from the hands of death, and the mud was unstained.

The turbulent years of the past have finally turned into smoke.

After half a lifetime, there are no more brothers and sisters in the world.
