As Turrell said, the big scene in rounds 9 and 10 didn't last long.

Zhou Shu has always felt that he owes Tourel a lot. Since the return of Apple Island, the ** relationship between the two of them has not been explained clearly, that night of the thunderstorm, the call of the sick princess made Zhou Shu, who almost made a mistake, rein in the precipice, but the real trouble has not been solved.

He liked Tourel a lot, and thought she was a very attractive girl, but that was her before. The current Turrell was indirectly harmed by Zhou Shu and turned into a child, and there was no way to save her, so she could only wait for her body to slowly mature again.

Zhou Shu didn't prepare to 'wait' for anything, he just felt guilty, after all, he had to turn others into children.

Coupled with the previous entry restrictions and the large number of troubles caused by the Satanic Holy Grail, strictly speaking, it was actually Tourel who helped solve it, and Zhou Shu was very willing to meet some of the requirements of this reliable girl, so he announced his withdrawal from the competition, which made the organizers angry and didn't dare to say it.

The sick princess knows Zhou Shu's temperament very well, and knows that she will hardly refuse a girl's request. The sick princess herself benefited from Zhou Shu's character, but she was not very willing to see others have similar experiences to herself and obtain similar favors. But considering that the other party was a little kid, she didn't think much about it. The clever Naloloflender also looked away here.

The tenth round of defense ended faster than the ninth round, and Zhou Shu went to pick up Turrell from her magician friends after the game in the Ocean Workshop, for fear that she would learn badly from these women.

Midora, the Deer Witch, and the Night Witch Amethyst bow to the Count and thank you. They didn't know how powerful the Earl was, but from the ease with which he copied Midora's housekeeping spell, it was certain that this person was definitely not simple.

Zhou Shu, who is not simple or complicated, pulled his two girls away from these people. Originally, he still had some good feelings for these three female magicians, but the killer trick they threw out in the tenth round made Zhou Shu a little worried.

The luck of the marine workshop is odd. It should be said that it is extreme, and during the draw of the tournament, six slots were drawn for the use of time-space type magic.

Usually this kind of magic lottery is rare, and it is a rare thing to be caught so much in one go. The people of the marine workshop also took advantage of this rarity. Forming these six magic arrays into a closed and complete magic spell is their killer feature. It's the same as Fluid Workshop. This big magic trick can help them ensure a victory.

After Turrell and Amethyst used the magic array, six black balls threw 'night' into the earth. But this is no ordinary night, but a 'night of death'.

Night of the Dead is a double magic of illusion and time, recording and recreating the horrors that really happened, plus some psychological attacks, causing mental damage to the enemy.

The 'Night of the Dead' recorded by Amethyst was a magical accident. Less than two years after studying in Rozerabun, she travelled with her companions.

Several magicians form a team and travel the world to gain knowledge. While learning to improve the study of magic. A teammate of the Wizards who is good at enhancing animals makes a low-level mistake in a certain spell, causing some monkeys to have strong reproductive abilities and become ferocious.

The monkey took out the magician's control, and after a few weeks, it began to wreak havoc in the villages and towns, and Amethyst and his party naturally wanted to intervene to solve the matter.

'Night of the Dead' is a record of monkeys tearing more than a thousand townspeople alive in a small town.

The sight was still very terrifying, and using this shock as an opportunity, the 'illusion' mixed with magic amplified the fear in people's hearts, so that the soldiers lost their combat effectiveness and fled in all directions.

The illusion could only be seen by those in the arena who were shrouded in the 'night'. However, a martial artist of Zhou Shu's level can feel the ominousness from it. And he also had eyes and ears, and he could see the frightened faces of the soldiers on the field, and he could also hear their descriptions of the horrific scene.

Zhou Shu grabbed a soldier and asked carefully about the situation. Although the soldier had calmed down, he was still depressed, and he said that he saw a decent young lady in a beautiful big house, who was being gnawed by a mad monkey in the lower half of his body, and at the same time comforted his brother who was hiding in the cupboard in a soft voice, foaming at the mouth, and said in a slow tone, 'It's okay, it's okay, don't worry.' ’

The soldier's ability to describe is rather poor, and his mental state is slightly problematic. The speech is a bit inverted. Zhou Shu was very glad for this, he didn't feel any strong sense of picture from it. I was not affected by these words.

He has seen many dead people, torn alive. If he is eaten, fat flows out of his pores, and even if he is directly sent to a medical university now, he will not feel any discomfort in the face of anatomy class. That's the advantage.

Zhou Shu was still very glad that he agreed to Turelle's request in the eighth round of his guard, and retreated honestly. If he hadn't retreated, he would have met him, and the magic would probably have to be used on his head.

By dragging Turrell away from these three unreliable women, Zhou Shu felt like her guardian.

Turrell only knew that this magic was used to cast some images that had happened before, with some magic such as 'soul shock', but he didn't expect those images to be so restrictive.

"Honestly, I'm a little tempted to take a look. ”

Turrell was held by Zhou Shu and suddenly said so.

"Why?" Zhou Shu asked as a matter of course. Turrell was silent at the question. She actually just wanted to see what Amethyst had experienced, Amethyst's reticenity she originally thought was just for personality reasons, but after hearing this, she felt that it was probably because of some of her experiences.

"Anyway, those soldiers need psychological counseling right now. There is no such thing as 'mental health' in this country, and the GIs are expected to have nightmares for several nights, hoping they just have nightmares. ”――

The Ocean Workshop won the competition, which was expected. Master Zhou didn't care about any of this, he took a night off and had a good chat with Tourel in the courtyard.

Fearing that the wall had ears, he didn't say anything special. Ordinary small talk, all over the world. With what he and his world could offer, the two had a great time. It's never been cold.

Zhou Shu will accompany the sick princess all day tomorrow, and he will go home the day after tomorrow. Go and report to Lu Xiaoshuang, Turrell must have fun for herself in the past two days. He didn't really want this guy to go after the people at the Ocean Workshop, and his instinct was that those women didn't seem to be good.

Turrell didn't make a guarantee about this, she wasn't a real little girl, so she wouldn't be disciplined by Zhou Shu to listen to his arrangement, but she wasn't awkward enough to go against Zhou Shu, she just said 'let it be'-

Next. Master Zhou got up from the bed of the sick princess early in the morning, gave his sweetheart a good morning kiss shyly, and flew out of the window directly with the sick princess dressed as a civilian after washing.

The two of them were lying in bed last night and had nothing to do to study today's travel plans, and Her Majesty decided to pay a private visit to the microservice, everyone in the city knew her and Zhou Shu, and the two of them couldn't spend this rare time for two at all. So they found a small town, and Zhou Shu also put on a wig and changed his face, ready to hang out with the eldest lady for a day.

The town they chose was not just a finger on a map, it was a rather wealthy trading town, located on an important trade route. The frequent comings and goings of merchants have brought prosperity here.

The sick princess had been to this town a few times, secretly, and she loved the feeling of prosperity and wealth. It gives people the feeling that the whole country of Baiyue is so prosperous. As a royal family, her interests are somewhat strange.

Zhou Shu flew all the way with his eldest lady in his arms, and since the place he was going to was relatively far, his speed was also relatively fast, and the whole journey was not so comfortable, and the wind swept past them at a very fast speed, making a mess of the sick princess's hair.

"Should I slow it down a bit?" Zhou Shu said, he didn't want his hair to be shaped by the wind when he landed for a while. He has never taken a girl for a drive, and his current situation is completely in a hurry. After all, there is only one day left for the two of them to be alone.

The sick princess said she didn't need to slow down, and she didn't want to waste time on the road. Although it looks quite romantic to fly slowly, it is still held by people. She was a little uncomfortable.

The two of them were chatting while flying, and it was basically the sick princess complaining about her current life.

Since becoming the queen and sitting on the throne, she was forced to use her brain to think about government affairs even after a meal, and she was not happy at all during this time.

"I envy you for being able to live outside all the time. The sick princess glanced up at the man who was holding him, and found herself staring at the same eyes.

Zhou Shu was really able to understand the sick princess, thanks to his life as a city lord in the past few days. His hand-shaking shopkeeper is obviously not as responsible as the sick princess, but even so, he is so annoyed by government affairs that he hides outside. From this point of view, as a dictator, you really can't have too much sense of responsibility, otherwise you will make yourself very tired and miserable.

The two of them thought bitterly about their life in the Defeated Soldier City, and there were a lot of troubles at that time, but they must be much happier now. Maybe it's because they have been together for a long time, and the way to solve troubles is relatively straightforward, which is basically a fight-and-kill.

Zhou Shu is still fighting and killing, so he doesn't miss that kind of day.

"There's nothing good about those things, and I don't want to repeat them again. ”

The sick princess sighed, "I just mentioned it casually, it's just a complaint after the lifestyle change." ”

Following the map they didn't understand and the vague memory of the road, the two finally found the town.

Standing on a hillside and looking at the town not far below, Zhou Shu and the sick princess grabbed the map and studied it up and down.

When the two saw the appearance of the town, Yan Zhan Ng suspected that he had gone to the wrong place. However, according to the location of the river marked on the map, it shows that this is the destination they want.

Zhou Shu looked at the eldest lady beside him with a puzzled expression, and the sick princess also knew what he wanted to ask. "The last time I was here was two years ago, and who knows why this place is like this......"

The town in front of me is not as lively and prosperous as it remembers at all, and it looks a little desolate. But judging by the size of the town and the height of the temple, it did have a glorious past.

Descending the hill towards the town. The two of them soon discovered the troubles that the town was suffering.

The town seems to be very sparsely populated, with a lot of empty houses, and it must have been something that caused the inhabitants to abandon the town and go somewhere else.

Zhou Shu is quite familiar with this situation. His territory, Nikko City, is this virtue, so he needs such a thing as population very much. Person. It is the most valuable resource in any era. Provided that benefits are not required to be paid for them.

"Let's go somewhere else. Zhou Shu looked helplessly at the first-class closed shops on the street, "There is really no one here who can recognize us, not even a person." ”

It is a slight exaggeration to say that this town is completely empty. When Zhou Shu and the sick princess entered the town, they could feel that there were eyes staring at them through the cracks in the lowered windows, and there were also some nervous guys hiding in the shadows on the street, as if they had done something wrong.

The town looks like a child who has made a mistake and is trying to escape his mother's punishment.

The sick princess stared at the two rows of shops on the street. Pinching his chin and thinking for a while, he asked Zhou Shu, "Guess, why did this town become the way it is?"

"Plague?" Zhou Shu's answer was quite straightforward, he had seen a town that was depressed because of the plague.

"Not really. The sick princess shook her head, "It's certainly not the plague." ”

"How do you know?"

"Because I'm the Queen. If there is a plague somewhere, the lord there will ask me for relief, and I have not heard of it. ”

Zhou Shuhan felt that his eldest lady was completely playing a guessing game with him.

He could be sure that the town's depression was due to the sheer cause of population decline. As for why the population is decreasing. According to the example of a city called 'Ordos', it is nothing more than the disappearance of the competitiveness of the commercial city.

This town originally prospered because of the gathering of merchants, and the town must have lost something. Let the merchants no longer settle down.

The sick princess looked at Zhou Shu who was reasoning on the side with some surprise, "You seem to have become smarter." ”

Zhou Shu made a bitter face, "Is this a compliment?" ”

The two discussed it for a while, and felt that the decline of the town was probably due to the fact that merchants no longer passed by, and perhaps it was due to the change of trade routes.

In order to confirm their thoughts, they knocked on the door of a random house, which was a two-story shop with a wooden structure, which looked quite large, and it was estimated that there could be more than a dozen rooms in the house. They're out to play today. This situation reminded the two of them of their days in the Defeated City, which was quite interesting. So he took charge of things with great interest.

There was a long knock on the door, but no one answered. The sick princess kicked the door open. Take the lead and walk into the house.

"It seems that the reason for not coming to the door is not simply the change of trade routes. The sick princess stood in the main hall on the first floor of the room and looked around, making sure that it had been a trader.

Zhou Shu agrees with this inference, "These guys are afraid of something. It can't be looted by robbers, right?"

The sick princess felt that this possibility was still there, and if something like the plague appeared, the lord would report it and seek some relief and medical treatment. As for the bandits, this lord is not too embarrassed to say it, and they usually use this opportunity to strengthen their armed forces and expand their power.

The reason why the lords are called lords is because they are the owners of this piece of land, and that land is owned by them and has little to do with the royal family.

The sick princess knew that Zhou Shu didn't know much about the affairs of her country, and compared to the robbers, he felt that there might be a small-scale war here, regional. For example, the town next door sent troops to attack.

This kind of friction is not uncommon, and it is a relatively simple, direct and effective way to deal with problems, and the sick princess is nostalgic for this kind of thing, which is much more interesting than the paperwork she does every day.

Zhou Shu felt that his eldest lady's thinking pattern was very dangerous, but it was impossible to deal with her Naloloflanger like he did with Tiddlelem's war-mad thinking, which made Zhou Shu a little worried.

Both of them had strong ears, and they heard some movement coming from the second floor, and someone should be hiding there secretly.

ran over and pulled people out, it was a very ordinary-looking family of four who were in a state of fear, a combination of a young couple and a daughter and a grandfather.

The two sides looked at each other after meeting, and then everyone's eyes were on Zhou Shu, including the sick princess.

The family of four trembled with fear when they looked at Zhou Shu, and the mother protected the child in her arms. The husband stood in the way of his wife. The sick princess was very interested in this situation, and stared at her sweetheart with a "Did you make this town like this?"

"Don't make a fuss, what does this have to do with me!" Zhou Shu could use his eyes to talk to his eldest lady fluently for an hour. This is a special skill between the two of them.

Zhou Shu will have a long brown wig, which will be messed up by the wind. Wearing a piece of leather armor that is easy to move around, he doesn't look like a good person.

The sick princess walked up to her people with a pleasant face, saying that she was a good person on her side, and that she had only broken into the door out of curiosity.

The sick princess asked them what they were afraid of, and the family was as timid as hamsters, stumbling and asking, "Aren't you robbers?"

"Okay. Sure enough, it's still a robber. The sick princess sighed, she had thought that this trouble would be within her guard. If it was really a fight between two lords, she could have gone to some big nobles to mediate, if it was a robber......

The sick princess and Zhou Shu inquired a little about the situation in the town, and listened to it as if they were listening to a story.

Zhou Shu will be guarded against thieves by this family, because in the past six months, many robbers like him with messy hair, tall stature, and leather armor have come to harass him.

The town was too rich, and wealth united bandits from other regions to attack the town.

The lord of this place paid mercenaries to fight hard. But I have never lost, and I haven't suffered much. As for the robbers, they gave up a direct attack on the town. Began to raid the merchants around the town.

There were a large number of robbers in the town, and when the merchants learned of this, they naturally wanted to change the trade route. For several months, the town gradually fell into depression without merchants passing through.

Due to the large number of wealthy people in the town, these people have a strong ability to migrate, so they sold their property and fled with their families to a safe place, leaving behind some people who bought a house and couldn't sell it, such as this family of four.

In their opinion, as long as the robbers are driven away. The town was restored to its reputation, and soon there would be another influx of merchants. Restoring the original prosperity is the purpose of their stay. It's a pity, though. Just last week, the robbers narrowly escaped the protection of the mercenaries the lord had brought in.

After fighting for so long, the lord didn't have the money to hire too good mercenary groups, and the city's defense capacity decreased a lot. As a result, the townspeople here are afraid to go out, after all, the town has no walls, and they are afraid of robbers coming in.

After hearing this, the sick princess pulled Zhou Shu's arm, "Do you know what I'm thinking?"

Zhou Shu stared at the excited face of his eldest lady, and said depressedly: "What do you want, when did you cultivate the ability to make your wishes come true?"

The two of them still remembered the good days of fighting and killing in the past on the way they flew over, but as soon as they turned around, they had such an opportunity to relive their old dreams.

The two said goodbye to the family of four, flew into the sky, and used the power of the Book of Summons to begin searching for the robbers' base camp.

Originally, the two planned to eat and drink in the town, buy some trinkets that they didn't need, and hold hands to be a couple in the blessed eyes of men and women on the street.

Now that the plan has changed, Zhou Shu conjured up two newly obtained golden martial gods to help him clear the way, and played a shooting game with a pistol in the bandit's lair. The sick princess stood next to Zhou Shu with a smile and kept throwing pebbles at the robbers.

The two didn't feel that their behavior was a pastime with human life, but they were really a pastime, but the two felt that they were doing harm to the people, and the only problem was that their smiles were a little too bright during the whole process.

After a morning of tossing and turning, they killed about a hundred or so robbers, and the others ran away, and they did not chase them.

Zhou Shu had long been accustomed to killing people, thanks to those experiences he had in the West Country. Zhou Shu conjured up a large number of wolves to eat as many corpses as possible, so as not to cause any epidemics.

The sick princess became very excited in the process of eliminating the harm for the people, and after getting away from the corpses, her excitement was still there.

This excitement made her grab Zhou Shu's collar and press his head to her lips. It was the first time that Mr. Zhou had been forcibly kissed, and he didn't hate the behavior of his eldest lady, who was obviously a little mentally ill. (To be continued)
