Chapter 1: The Struggle
In the quiet courtyard, the locust trees on both sides of the door flutter in the wind, as if waving to those who come in. This courtyard is the residence of the head of the Granstile Academy, and it is one of the most mysterious places in the academy that few people dare to come in and disturb in normal times. Now a black shadow appeared in the courtyard in an instant, and with a little ground, it quickly rushed into a certain gate in the courtyard, and between the courtyard and the movement into the room, there was no sound at all.
In the room, Kempert sits in a chair in a plain robe, with a pair of white glasses hanging from the bridge of his nose, quietly reading a book.
"Old man, what is the matter with you asking me to meet here?" The person who came was of medium height, dressed in black, with a bronze face, a pair of eyes as fierce as wolves, and a faint aura of danger all over his body. This man turned out to be Feglum.
Fergelm took the teapot and cup on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and then took it cold or hot, and poured it into his stomach like a cow. The big hand wiped his mouth, and his expression looked a little indifferent at Kempert.
"You're really trustworthy, and when you came in, no one found out, right?" Kempert didn't even look at him, his eyes still looked at the book in his hand, and said lightly.
"In my own way, it's so easy to be discovered. Tell me, what's the matter with me this time?" Filgrimm asked directly, speaking dryly.
Feglimm still has some nostalgia for the last time Kempert injured him. However, Kempert's strength is much stronger than him, and with the disparity between the two statuses, he doesn't dare to do anything to the latter. If Sun Xiaofei was here, he would have been extremely surprised to see this scene. Kempert actually knew Feglum.
"Naturally, there are important things that I want you to do. You take a look at this first. Kempert closed the book, placed it on the table, and with a flick of his hand, an object shot at Ferlum. The latter's eyes didn't blink, and his five fingers were bent and stretched out like claws to catch the object that was being shot.
"Excuse me, why do you want me to protect that kid? Is there no one here?" Feglim picked on a piece of paper, and he glanced at it, and cried out in some dismay.
"It's not that there's no one here, it's that there's no one better suited for this task than you. There are many dragons and snakes in the capital, and I have contacted them over there, so you can go directly to him after you go over. Oh, this is for you, you better set off as much as you can. Kempert walked up to Fegilm and gave him a box as he spoke.
"Why me, old man?" muttered Feglum.
"This is a secret. Don't be verbose, if you get over there and have any troubles that can't be solved, just go to that person, I believe that for my sake, he will help you, you should be careful in everything. Kempert admonished.
"Okay, I see. Then I'll go first. Goodbye!" Filgrimm listened to Kempert's words, suddenly laughed, and nodded.
"Don't reveal your identity. 一qiē be careful for the top. As long as you complete this mission, the rewards will definitely be satisfying. Kempert laughed. His smile looked a little stiff, the result of not exercising.
"Got it. Filgrimm spoke, and then his figure moved, and he disappeared strangely in front of Kempert.
The escort team of the Qingfeng Mercenary Regiment advanced towards the capital very smoothly along the way. From time to time, there was hearty laughter and loud shouting among the mercenaries. Anyone who mixes in the knife knows that the mercenary career is a road of no return with today and no tomorrow. If you're lucky enough not to die today, you might die tomorrow under someone else's blade or under the claws of a demonic beast. This kind of life of licking blood from the knife edge has put many people who have embarked on a mercenary career under tremendous pressure, and they have no strength to rely on others to seek refuge after all. If you are lucky enough to make a fortune, you will be coveted by others tomorrow, and you will end up with all your wealth and death.
The mercenaries are not afraid of the consequences of loud laughter, and their purpose in doing so is to deter some ill-intentioned Xiao Xiaozhi from acting rashly. The convoy is not escorting any valuable treasures, in case of encountering some vicious and reckless people, it is inevitable that they will be killed or injured. As for encountering more powerful bandits, it is not something that low-level mercenaries like them can decide. Anyway, when the sky falls, there will always be tall people on top of it.
At this time, Sun Xiaofei was staying in one of the carriages, sitting still and closing his eyes to recuperate, nourishing the ethereal spirit sword in his body. It is not an easy task to cultivate the spirit of the sword and then produce spiritual intelligence, and it requires years of unremitting perseverance. Sun Xiaofei can currently only rely on a drop of essence blood in the sword's body to communicate with the power of his natal soul to simply control this sword. It can be said that Sun Xiaofei is playing a teacher, guiding Feijian, a student who doesn't know anything, and any action forms are ordered by him, the teacher, and Feijian will follow them. If the sword spirit can cooperate independently on that day, and does not need Sun Xiaofei's guidance to use it, it can be regarded as a preliminary opening of the spiritual intelligence.
Besides, Xiao Hui, who is not very peaceful on the side, his cultivation speed is almost unbelievable. Sun Xiaofei saw the progress of his cultivation, and he also secretly exclaimed, but he didn't expect that on a whim, it would be cheaper for Xiaohui. Xiao Hui now has quite a cultivator's cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, and he may break through to the Jindan stage at any time. In addition to the double growth of the sun and the full moon, Xiao Hui can absorb the aura of heaven and earth every moment between his movement and breathing, and his cultivation will naturally improve rapidly. Despite this, Sun Xiaofei understood that even if Xiaohui's cultivation was improved, he would not be able to break through to several key levels, if he did not have the corresponding realm assistance. The difference between human and animal cultivation is that human beings are cultivating to the realm of simultaneous growth, and the early stage is slow and steady, and the early stage of animal cultivation is rapid, but in the later stage, there is no corresponding realm, and there is no way to advance in the empty cultivation.
Although Sun Xiaofei was in the car, his consciousness kept an eye on the movements around him from time to time. Within a radius of 100 meters, even the wind and grass could not escape the induction of his spiritual sense. The words and deeds of the mercenaries and even some faint whispers were presented in Sun Xiaofei's mind one by one.
Suddenly, Sun Xiaofei spoke: "Xiaohui, you go to the front to take a look, what happened?"
"Okay!" Xiao Hui quickly left, going to the front to inquire about the news. Sun Xiaofei faintly heard the sound of a fight in front of him just now, so he ordered Xiaohui to go and investigate. The convoy had gone for a while, and Raul and the others seemed to notice it, so they stopped the team and ordered two swift team members to investigate. Sun Xiaofei had already contacted Xiaohui in the car and learned about the situation.
There are two groups of people in front of them who are tearing apart, and for a while I don't know why it happened. Xiao Hui dodged in the dense woods, and quickly conveyed the situation to Sun Xiaofei through guò soul transmission.
The two people sent by Raul also lurked silently, both of them were old mercenaries, one was called Phil was an assassin, and the other was called Kaba, who was a thief before, and they were both agile and sensitive mercenaries.
Kaba has a wide range of knowledge, and after watching it for a while, he showed him a way. There are a few people who are tearing up and fighting, and he has encountered it before. It is a wild wolf gang with more than 300 people in the neighboring mountains, an extremely cunning mobile gang. The other group of people is not very clear, but I see that these people are also unusually fierce and fierce, and they are not good and incompetent.
Seeing that it was impossible for the two sides to stop for a while, Kaba motioned for Phila to quickly retreat and report to the master to make another plan. The two slowly withdrew from the battle, retreating in the direction of Raul's team. I knew that there were a few people who tore and killed and rushed to the two of them, and I didn't know who they were, and they rushed over to kill each other. The two were frightened and fled quickly, Kaba was more agile and ran faster, Phila was a beat slower, and was entangled by the bandits who caught up, and if the people behind caught up, none of them were spared, so anxious that Phila even made a killing move, but he couldn't help the other party.
Xiaohui saw that he was very dangerous, and after communicating with Sun Xiaofei, he decided to help. Feller called out to Kaba, who was far away from the place, and told him to hurry back to his house, and that he would flee if he had the chance. Seeing that the situation was not good, Kaba had to speed up and leave ruthlessly, leaving Phile unable to escape, seeing that it was difficult to escape, in despair, there was a little more ruthlessness in his hands.
Feller's opponent was a middle-aged man with long hair and a hawk nose, his eyes flashed, and he slyly dodged Feller's fierce attack, but in his hands, he used his relatively strong fighting spirit to suppress Feller's flexible body. Without the hidden darkness and the cover of objects, how could an assassin who was not good at fighting hard be an opponent of a swordsman of the same rank? At this moment, the others also surrounded him, and the only four people left in the field were all in a group, and Phile's situation was in danger.
Xiaohui roared and flew down. The body swelled and grew larger in mid-air, the hair instantly turned into a fiery red, the red eyes exploded, and a pair of plush claws thundered down. Everyone in the field was shocked, and they all stepped back and made their own sword moves to block, and Xiaohui's beast roar just now shook his mind, and people were panicked for a while, so they all protected their own safety first.
Xiaohui grabbed Feller, shook his arm, and immediately threw Feller into the distance with a snort. The eagle-nosed man shouted, and the sword skill in his hand suddenly burst out, directly attacking Xiao Hui in the field. Xiao Hui snorted a rough roar, his body retracted slightly, and he gathered momentum into a fist with one hand, and a huge fist condensed by pure energy suddenly blasted out. As soon as the two came into contact, the invisible qi burst out, and the surroundings were in a mess, and the qi explosion knocked down those low-level skills, and the eagle-nosed man who bore the brunt of it flew back several meters away, and blood spurted out of his mouth with a wow. Before he could think of anything else, he looked back and saw the fiery red ape beast stomping on it, and bursts of wavy energy spread out on the ground. The secret scream was not good, and the body ignored the shock just now, and the strong shape was hovered slightly in the air before turning over and landing.
As far as the eye could see, everyone else was stunned, leaving a circle of traces of vindictive anger on the ground. I couldn't help but secretly gasp for air, but there was no trace of it. I secretly gasped in my heart, and I couldn't stop talking: What kind of class of demonic beasts is this!
Xiaohui repelled the eagle-nosed man and a few others, and quickly rushed back to Sun Xiaofei. Its fast and fast speed is better than the two of Kabafil in front, and he flew back to Sun Xiaofei's carriage one step earlier, Sun Xiaofei has already passed Guò Xiaohui's soul transmission, and mastered the situation at the scene, after Xiaohui came back, he couldn't help but touch his face and smile approvingly.
Kaba arrived first, and hurriedly reported to Raul what was going on, and as he spoke, Feller also came quickly, but to his surprise, he hurriedly asked, "Feller, you also escaped?"
"Hey, let's not talk about it, fortunately someone came to the rescue, otherwise how could I have escaped? "Phil couldn't say that he was rescued by throwing a monster out of the way, and it was too hard to believe to say it.
"Listen to what you say, there are two groups of people fighting in front of us, we are now on a mission, we can't make too much trouble, hurry up and hurry away, away from this place of right and wrong. After listening to what the two of them said, Raul naturally understood the twists and turns, and naturally made a wise judgment after many years of mercenary career. Urging his subordinates to leave quickly, so as not to suffer an unwarranted disaster, he is used to this kind of indiscriminate thing on the mainland.
In response, all his subordinates took the order and arranged for the convoy to set off quickly, and did not dare to delay and hurriedly drove forward.
