readx; Chen Fan and the mysterious woman walked silently in the morning forest, it was already late autumn, the leaves were plated with a layer of gold, flying back and forth in the autumn wind, a sad feeling haunted my heart.
After walking all morning, and it was already evening, the two of them came to a brook, made a campfire, and sat down to rest, but they did not say a word.
At this time, Chen Fan finally couldn't help but be embarrassed and said, "You...... Are you still angry?"
"No!" Lin Luoran replied resolutely, although she said no, but her tone was saying: I'm very angry!
"Alright, I'm going to sleep now, and I've got a long way to go tomorrow. After Lin Luoran finished speaking, he lay on the ground.
"It's really a bleak future!" Chen Fan sighed softly and lay down as well.
In the middle of the night, the bonfire went out, leaving only some charred wood on the ground, with a little spark still on it.
Tonight, the moon is sparsely starry, the black glazed night sky is dotted with sporadic starlight, and the hazy silver moon hanging in the sky creates a mysterious feeling.
"It looks like she's asleep. Chen Fan thought to himself, while paying attention to Lin Luoran's movements, he slowly turned over and sat up, and a gentle snoring sound came from Lin Luoran, Chen Fan was overjoyed, it seems that this cold "beast" that can set fire still has a time to rest, God finally didn't give me up, I must escape successfully tonight, and I must not let her show up, after all, if she is allowed to escape by herself, even if she has ten lives, it is not enough to die, so Chen Fan is now giving up his life.
Chen Fan secretly made up his mind to escape, and he began to move slowly.
Chen Fan knew that if there was a little, even a little noise, the consequences would be very tragic, so he was extra careful, every step was like slowing down the camera, although he stepped on the grass, but there was no sound at all.
One-step...... Two-step ...... Three-step ......
"Sister......
Lin Luoran's voice clearly came into Chen Fan's ears, so frightened that goosebumps stood up all over Chen Fan's body, and he immediately knelt on the ground reflexively: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I'm not running away." It's just that...... It's just that...... Wait, she seems to say 'sister', right?"
“...... I'll find your ......."
The more Chen Fan listened, the more strange he became, and he thought: Is she talking in her dreams?
“...... Don't leave me ......"
Looking at the current Lin Luoran, he heard Lin Luoran's resentful voice. Chen Fan suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of pity in his heart.
"Is this the real her?Did my sister leave her?Why did she leave her?What did she go through before?" Chen Fan fell into deep thought.
"No!" Chen Fan shook his head: "Now is not the time to think about this, she is dreaming now, that is to say, she is sleeping very soundly, if she doesn't run away at this time, when will she stay?"
Then. Lin Luoran curled up and said softly, "Sister...... I'm so cold......"
Chen Fan shook his head again, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Alas...... I really can't help it. Then, Chen Fan gently took off the coat he was wearing, walked to Lin Luoran's side, and covered Lin Luoran's body.
"That's ...... Tears?" Chen Fan looked at the crystal droplets on the corners of Lin Luoran's eyes, and stayed in place, not expecting that this stubborn and strong girl during the day actually had such a touching side.
At this moment, Lin Luoran's eyes suddenly opened. Glaring at Chen Fan, who was standing next to him, he asked sharply, "What do you want to do?"
Chen Fan saw Lin Luoran wake up suddenly, he was at a loss, and explained hesitantly: "Actually, because, because you said it was cold, I ...... I'll just ......"
Oh no, I would have left her alone if I had known, it seems that I will be tortured by her again tonight, I am really unlucky!" Chen Fan thought to himself.
Lin Luoran heard Chen Fan's explanation and groaned. Then he returned the clothes covering his body to Chen Fan, and said in a low voice: "Hmph! ”
Chen Fan took the clothes and was relieved to see that Lin Luoran did not mean to punish him severely. Chen Fan asked, "You're not angry, are you?"
Lin Luoran didn't answer, just shook his head thoughtfully.
Chen Fan saw Lin Luoran's cold mask and showed a sad look, knowing that she must have had a nightmare just now, and this nightmare was not out of nowhere, but the painful memories of the old days.
Everyone was silent for a moment. Chen Fan finally broke the deadlock, he stretched his waist and said, "Ah...... Now that they're all awake, I can't sleep, what about you?"
"Almost. Lin Luoran's tone was still very indifferent.
"Why don't we say something?"
"......" Lin Luoran didn't answer, and was silent for a while: "What is there to talk to you about?"
Chen Fan thought for a moment and asked, "Why don't we talk about serious things?"
Chen Fan knew that Lin Luoran was now thinking about the nightmare just now, so he deliberately diverted her attention.
"Serious?"
"Hmm!" Chen Fan continued: "Lin Luoran, you are not ......"
"Don't call me Lin Luoran. The girl's angry rebuke interrupted Chen Fan's questioning.
"Why, why?" Chen Fan was startled by this, thinking that this girl was going to be rough with herself again.
"Because the name was given to me by that person. Lin Luoran saw Chen Fan's frightened expression, and changed back to the cold tone just now.
"That person?" Chen Fan continued to ask.
"It's my dad. Lin Luoran shook his head, as if he had shaken off some thoughts: "Alas...... But forget it, these were all a long time ago, and the name is just a code name, if you like to call me Lin Luoran, then call me Lin Luoran!"
Although the girl had a smile on her face, how could that sadness be covered up with this smile?
Chen Fan knew that this girl who called herself Fire Dance must have experienced a painful childhood, but Lin Luoran didn't want to mention it, so it was not interesting to continue asking, so Chen Fan continued the question he just asked: "Didn't you say last night, I am not the real Nengjing? What does this sentence mean?"
"Actually, I don't know very much about this. Lin Luoran said: "That person said that if Nengjing wants to become the key to destroying the world, it must have all kinds of elemental powers in this world. ”
"What is elemental power?"
"I ask you. Lin Luoran said, "Do you believe that there is a god in this world?"
Chen Fan pondered for a moment: "Although the Underworld Church says that there is a goddess of the underworld in this world, but after all, I haven't seen it, and I don't know if it really exists." ”
Lin Luoran said: "In fact, the goddess of the underworld is just a symbol made up by the underworld church in order to rule people's hearts, to be precise, there is no god in this world at all. ”
"Wait a minute. Chen Fan interjected: "But if there is no god in this world, then how did the previous six heavenly tribulations move?"
"Maybe those six tribulations. It's all ......."
Lin Luoran looked at the burning flames with serious eyes, and said quietly: "Maybe the six heavenly tribulations were all moved by humans. ”
"Humans?...... How is that possible?" Chen Fan exclaimed in surprise, and asked a series of questions: "Who moved it, why did it move, how did it move?"
"I don't know, after all, it's just my guess. ”
"Then why are you so sure that there is no god in this world?" Chen Fan asked, "Or are those heavenly tribulations really moved by God?"
"Impossible. Lin Luoran said, "Do you know magic?"
"Yes. Didn't you use your magic to fight those two people from the Underworld Church last night?"
"You're wrong. Lin Luoran said: "I don't use magic, but my strength, and those two people use magic." ”
"Why? Does it make a difference?"
"Let me tell you, I actually have the ability to emit fire from my body, which is why I am called 'Fire Dance'. But why is this happening? Even I don't know. ”
Lin Luoran looked at his hand and said quietly: "And those two people will definitely recite spells and form a large or small magic array before releasing magic, have you noticed this?"
Chen Fan carefully recalled last night's battle, confirmed that Lin Luoran's words were not wrong, and then nodded.
"Then do you know what those spells and magic circles are for?"
Chen Fan shook his head, in fact, this can't be blamed on Chen Fan's ignorance, I believe that for any ordinary person, he doesn't know the professional knowledge of these magics. It's all a normal thing.
After all, the Church of the Underworld is very tightly sealed off the knowledge of magic, and the ordinary people of the Maya Continent don't talk about learning, and it is impossible to even look at those magic books, even within the Church of the Underworld, only people who are called knights are qualified to learn magic.
"Actually, there are a lot of elements floating around us, but we can't see them, and spells and magic arrays are the means to combine these elements. Lin Luoran explained.
"But I've heard that magic is the power of the goddess of the underworld!" Chen Fan retorted.
"That's just a nonsense made up by the church of the underworld to rule people's hearts. Lin Luoran said disapprehantly: "So, there is no god in this world at all, do you understand?"
"Even if there is no God in this world. Chen Fan asked again, "What does that have to do with Nengjing?"
"Whether there is a god or not, of course, has nothing to do with Nengjing. But I'm just trying to show that there are elements in this world. Lin Luoran continued to explain: "If you want your right hand to become a true energy crystal, you must collect the eight elemental crystal nuclei that combine and create the world. ”
"Elemental crystal nucleus?" Chen Fan became more and more confused the more he listened: "What is it coming from? I don't think you can eat it!"
"You guys really don't know anything. Lin Luoran was helpless: "In fact, any matter in our world is created by elements, for example, fire is composed of scorching elements, water is composed of flowing elements, and so on. The crystal nucleus of an element is the crystallization of these series of elements formed by the combination of many years. ”
"Isn't it?Can you destroy the world so easily?" Chen Fan said regretfully: "It turns out that the world is so fragile, and it is actually destroyed by something created by itself. ”
"You think the Elemental Nucleus is so easy to obtain?"
"Aren't they all in one place?" Chen Fan asked.
"Of course not. Lin Luoran said: "They only form once every tens of thousands of years, and they are all formed in different places, which can be said to be all over the world!"
"No, how easy is it to find all eight crystal nuclei in such a big world?" Chen Fan looked up to the sky and sighed, revealing a lazy look: "Then do you know where these crystal nuclei are?"
"It's not very clear. Lin Luoran said: "But." I now know the location of one of them, the Lightning Crystal Nucleus. ”
"Where is that?" Chen Fan asked.
"Wuyun Gorge. ”
"What?" Chen Fan screamed: "Wuyun Gorge? Well, that is rumored to be inhabited by monsters, and there is no terrible canyon that anyone who can come out? Wait, that kind of place is not suitable for normal people like me, you better ask Gao Ming!"
"Are you going or not going?" the girl's body burned again.
Chen Fan immediately said seriously: "Go! Go! Of course, no matter how dangerous it is, it won't be difficult for me!"
Lin Luoran put away the flames. Chen Fan glanced at him and said, "It's like a little man!"
I'd rather be a woman than that!...... Why am I so unlucky, it seems that Wuyun Gorge is the end of my life, woo...... Chen Fan thought to himself.
"Alright. Do you know our first destination now?" Lin Luoran said, "If you want to go to Wuyun Gorge, you have to go north, and we will pass through Nunis Harbor." ”
"Wait a minute!" Chen Fan followed Lin Luoran and stood up: "You mean Nunis Port, the port that specializes in selling slaves to pirates, why do you want to go to that kind of place?"
Lin Luoran said: "I have something to do, I must go somewhere." ”
"What the hell is going on?"
"This has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with destroying the world, it's just some private matter. ”
Seeing Lin Luoran, he didn't want to say it. Chen Fan could only nod slightly in agreement.
Lin Luoran lay on the ground: "Okay, since you're done, let's go to bed now!
"Okay" Chen Fan also followed and lay in the open space not far from Lin Luoran, they got up early in the morning and hurried, because Chen Fan didn't sleep much last night, so he kept yawning all the way, but the girl was as always, and she didn't lead the way in front of her.
After walking for about half a day, they finally walked out of the forest, and their eyes suddenly opened up.
They came to a prairie. Probably due to the change of seasons, the grass on the grassland is now coated with a layer of gold, and the endless golden plain stretches into the distance, so beautiful! This plain borders the sea, and probably because of the dark clouds on the sea, the sea looks pitch black, which makes people feel a sense of melancholy.
Right at the junction of the grassland and the sea, a large city towers over it, surrounded by tall buildings with gray walls. The tall gates were open, and carriage after carriage, caravans, and caravans came and went at the gates of the city. And above the wagons and behind the caravans were not any treasures, but ragged, scrawny slaves.
If you are a discerning person, you will know at first glance that this is a seaport city, because you can see many huge merchant ships. Moor around the city.
At this moment, Chen Fan pointed to the sky of the city and suddenly exclaimed: "Lin Luoran, look at ......"
"Lin Luoran. Chen Fan pointed to the sky of the city and exclaimed in a stunned voice, "What is floating above Nunis City?"
Lin Luoran squinted upward, only to see three large ships floating in the sky above the city, each ship is about a land floor, and the area can be compared to five standard football fields, and there are ten thick iron chains tied under each ship, those should be anchors!
"Those are the pirates' floating ships, they have only been opened in recent years, and they are supposed to be designed to avoid monsters at sea. Lin Luoran replied.
"Pirates are coming to attack the city?"
"It's not. Lin Luoran said as he walked forward: "They came here to buy slaves, and they didn't mean to fight. ”
Chen Fan followed and continued to ask, "Do they often buy slaves?"
"Come about once a month, and buy about a thousand slaves at a time. ”
"A thousand, and every month?" Chen Fan exclaimed, "Why do they want so many slaves?"
A thousand slaves is indeed not a small number, and the number of slaves that comes every month is very large.
"Tribute. ”
"Sacrifice, sacrifice what?"
Lin Luoran gritted his teeth and said, "They are using these living slaves to sacrifice the nine-headed monster living in the Dead Sea - Wuda. ”
"Wuda?" Chen Fan exclaimed again: "Isn't Wuda just a legendary creature?
"Believe it or not. Lin Luoran said lightly: "I am the only one who has seen this monster, because the people who are 'lucky' to see it are believed to be dead." ”
"Lin Luoran, have you been to the Dead Sea?" Chen Fan's surprise continued to rise from level to level.
"......" Lin Luoran didn't answer, and then sighed lightly and said, "This was a long time ago, and I don't want to mention it again." ”
Chen Fan thought to himself, this girl really doesn't know how many things she is hiding in her heart, the so-called "woman's heart needle" is really not wrong, since she heard Lin Luoran say "I don't want to mention it again". Although they were extremely curious, even if Chen Fan had the audacity, he didn't dare to ask any more, so the two had no choice but to continue to move towards Nunis City.
After walking for half an hour, I finally came to the city gate.
Along. Chen Fan saw one tragic scene after another, the picture of those slaves approaching death step by step with heavy steps under the drive of leather whips, it was really shocking, because of torture. The eyes, which had long lost their original luster, reflected nothing but pain and despair, and the blood marks on the body reflected what kind of cruel treatment they had received.
Compassion kept rippling in Chen Fan's heart, Chen Fan himself is also a market hooligan who everyone hates, he has always lived in the lowest strata of society, he deeply understands the pain and bitterness of slaves, and suffers from other people's punches and kicks every day, there is nothing wrong, that feeling is painful. But the source of the pain does not come from these punches and kicks, but from the feeling of longing for the favor of others day and night but not getting it, and he wants to save them from the sea of suffering, but how can he do it with the ability of a mortal?
A feeling of hating himself took root in Chen Fan's heart, why can't he be as strong as the girl in front of him? Why is he always just shrinking behind the back of others? Why is he so useless? If I have the strength...... If I had the strength......
"Chen Fan!" Lin Luoran shouted three times in a row, and it wasn't until the fourth sound that Chen Fan heard it, and he was shocked from his contemplation, just waking up. There was a heart-piercing pain in my ears.
Lin Luoran was twisting Chen Fan's ears and roared angrily: "Is your guy not having normal ears, I asked you so many times to answer me?"
"Oops...... Isn't it...... Woman, can you let it go first...... Painful pain......" Chen Fan begged loudly for mercy. It seems that he is still far from his dream of having great power!
"Hmph...... The next time you ignore my existence, you'll be mistaken. Lin Luoran let go of Chen Fan's ears and walked into the city: "Why don't you come soon?"
"Yes!" Chen Fan rubbed his ears that had been twisted a foot wider, and muttered to himself while following Lin Luo: "Can't this guy look like a girl?"
Lin Luoran turned his head suddenly: "What did you just say?"
"I, me, me, I......" Chen Fan looked at Lin Luoran's expression of wanting to eat people, and shook his head and explained: "...... I just said that you are really a 'kind-hearted' beauty. ”
Lin Luoran snorted and ignored Chen Fan anymore. Walked into town.
Chen Fan also immediately followed closely behind Lin Luoran.
As soon as he entered the city, Chen Fan's first feeling was that it was a miasma of smoke, and it could be seen from the buildings that the polarization here was very serious.
Some of the buildings are very ornately decorated, rose red and smooth floor tiles, it looks very magnificent, in and out are some people wearing silk and satin, at a glance you know that they are not blessed or expensive, and then look at some other bungalows, no, those that cannot be called "houses" at all, it is like the rubble left behind after some air raid, there are a few ragged people "lived" in it, it really looks very sad, and the streets are very crowded, crowded with teams of people - Slave herd, and they all go in roughly the same direction.
Chen Fan looked at the slaves and asked puzzledly, "Lin Luoran, where are they going?"
"You really don't know anything. Lin Luoran glanced at Chen Fan, and explained helplessly: "Tomorrow is a monthly day for pirates to choose slaves, once the slaves are chosen, those pirates will buy them at a high price, and slave traders from all over the world will of course come to make money with the slaves they have collected." ”
"Oh, where is the deal?"
"That's it!" Lin Luoran pointed to the tall building in the center of the city: "That's the slave trading market, and the slave traders are going there to grab a stall now, and sell the slaves they brought with them as if they were selling goods." ”
"It's like selling goods!" Chen Fan silently repeated Lin Luoran's words, and there were ripples in his heart: "Don't those slave traders treat slaves as human beings?"
"Of course," Lin Luoran said lightly: "You have to understand, this is the world now, the people are not only threatened by sea beasts, but also persecuted by their own kind, this kind of world is simply ugly. ”
"......" Chen Fan clenched his hands into fists, speechless.
After a moment of silence, Chen Fan continued to ask, "Then where are we going now?"
"I'm going to the lord of this city, Kurisif, the top floor of the slave trading market. ”
"But where must be guarded, do you want to kill those people again?" Chen Fan said, "If you want to fight, I can also help you." ”
"I'm not going there to kill people. Lin Luoran replied: "I'm just going to deal with some personal matters, you don't have to come with me, just wait for me at the hotel, and when I finish the matter, we will go to Wuyun Gorge." ”
Great, I can escape when she's gone, Chen Fan thought to himself.
"And!" Lin Luoran said, "If you steal it while I'm away, you won't want to live when I find you again, understand?"
"How could I run away?" Chen Fan replied with a smile, but he thought to himself: She actually guessed my plan, this guy is really difficult to deal with, at this moment, a rude voice came from behind: "Stop ...... me"
A gruff voice came from behind the two: "Stand for me." ”
Chen Fan and Lin Luoran immediately looked behind them and saw a skinny old man lying on the ground, with four big men punching and kicking the old man.
"Fuck you, I don't think you'll pay it back?"
"It's just looking for death!"
"You old immortal, how can you be reasonable, if you don't teach you a lesson, you don't know how powerful we are. ”
Chen Fan saw that the old man was beaten and bruised all over his body, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, so he said to Lin Luoran: "Shall we go and save him?"
"Not good!" Lin Luoran didn't think twice.
"Why?"
"We don't need to care about these idle things, besides, in this hell on earth, these scenes are commonplace, if you can save one, can you save all the suffering people in this city?" Lin Luoran asked sharply.
"......" Chen Fan looked at the tragic situation of the old man being beaten, and thought of his experience of being beaten like this, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and an inexplicable energy surged up from the bottom of his heart, and he said quietly: "I have to save him, you wait for me here." Then he rushed forward.
"Hmph...... Nosy. Lin Luoran scolded angrily.
"Wait a minute. Chen Fan raised his left hand forward, crossed his waist with his right hand, put on a very stylish posture, and shouted loudly: "Don't you feel ashamed that so many of you bully an old man?"
Of course, those big men were unhappy when they heard someone tell them to stop, they glared at Chen Fan with terrifying eyes, poked their fists while sneering shamefully: "Stinky boy, do you want to be a hero?"
Chen Fan didn't say a word, he punched the big man in the face, and the added and strengthened fist knocked the big man out of the air for miles and hit the garbage can on the ground.
"Damn, you guy......" At this time, the other three big men also raised their fists and rushed towards Chen Fan.
Chen Fan thought to himself, what am I afraid of if you don't have weapons?
"Drink!" Chen Fan shouted, and threw three punches at the rushing big man, and the wind-like fist hit the chest of the three big men, and then, because of the power of the fist explosion, the whole body of the three big men flew out and fell to the ground. (To be continued.) )
