The phoenix looked at the fish, her eyes flashed with the light of the old days, and the end of her gaze connected to the other side of the past years.

At a very early age, Yiyu knew that he was a descendant of the merman clan. His father was originally a clam demon who lived in the shark lake in the depths of Daze, and later he fell in love with a shark.

Since the mermaid clan forbade intermarriage with outsiders, in order to protect her, Yiyu's mother asked her father to take her away from Daze after giving birth to her.

She and her father traveled all the way to Hanshui, wanting to live here, but they were driven away by the carp demon who had been entrenched in Hanshui for many years, and her father was seriously injured.

Just when their father and daughter were desperate, the phoenix passed through Hanshui and defeated the carp demon for them, only to win a shelter for the father and daughter.

Many years later, Yiyu's father's old injury recurred, and she was alone, so she went to Daze alone to find her mother.

At that time, Yiyu's natal talent belonging to the mermaid clan had not yet awakened, and it was the first time she was traveling alone, how could she deal with Daze's crisis?

Not long after entering Osawa, she was poisoned and fell into a coma due to an excessive amount of miasma.

When she woke up, she found herself lying in a clean, bright bedroom.

It was a middle-aged man with a delicate face who saved her life, dressed in a moon-white robe.

"Why did you come to Daze alone?" The man woke up from a nap in his chair and just saw Yiyu staring at him intently.

"Who are you? Where is this? Yi Yu looked at the strange man and asked timidly.

The man smiled and said, "This is the mansion where I lived when I went out to practice, in the depths of Daze. ”

"As for who I am." The man touched his chin and continued with a smile, "An unknown swordsman of the end of the world. ”

The man's gaze fell on the slender sword on the table, and at that moment, it seemed that there was only one sword left in his world.

"Swordsman of the End of the World?" Yi Yu muttered and repeated, "Good name." ”

"Does it sound good?" The man put on a calm and breezy appearance, "If the girl likes it, I can also help you think of a nice name." ”

"Uh-huh." Yi Yu nodded repeatedly.

"My name is Tianya Swordsman, and you will be called Troubadour." The man said casually.

"Troubadour?" Yi Yu was a little stunned, "But I don't know how to write poetry." ”

"What's the big deal, isn't it a very poetic thing for a poet who can't write poetry?" The man chuckled heartily.

"Is there one?" Yi Yu was even more confused, she didn't have time to understand the meaning of the man's words, but suddenly realized that she and him were just meeting for the first time, and she hadn't even figured out the current situation, so he had already taken the topic away.

So Yi Yu hurriedly changed the topic back and said, "Daze is so far away, I want to know the specific location here?" ”

"Thousands of miles, where my heart wants is my hometown." The man nodded to himself and said, "So, let's call this place my hometown." ”

"I just want to ask, how far is this from the Shark Lake?" Yi Yu asked cautiously.

"Shark Lake?" The man pondered for a moment, "What are you doing at Shark Lake?" ”

"This ......" Yiyu didn't want to reveal his identity, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Unwilling to say or unable to speak?" The man didn't seem to ask, but more to himself, "It's okay, the Shark Lake is still hundreds of miles away from here, and if you plan to walk there, you will probably need to ......."

The man wrenched his fingers and made a gesture of nine at the end.

"Nine days?" Yi Yu asked tentatively.

"No, no, no." The man shook his head again and again, "Nine lives." ”

"Of course, that's if you have a way to restrain the miasma."

"Huh?" Yi Yu hung his head in disappointment.

"It's okay." The man smiled and comforted, "The big deal is death, people are inherently dead, or lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai." ”

"But I don't want to die......"

"Then there's nothing I can do." The man shrugged his shoulders and said.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

"Tianya Swordsman, I ......" Yi Yu was not easy to muster up his courage, but he lowered his head again the moment he met the man's gaze.

"You want to ask me for a favor?" The man finished the second half of the sentence for her.

"Hmmm......"

"You want to beg me to take you to Shark Lake?"

"Hmmm......"

"No problem." The man said.

Yi Yu raised his head in disbelief, just in time to meet the man's resolute gaze, and then he was convinced that he had heard correctly.

"Are you really willing to help me?" Yi Yu still asked uncertainly.

"Of course." The man said.

"But we're only meeting for the first time."

"So what?" The man smiled, "Could it be that you are afraid that I will abduct you halfway?" ”

"Of course not." Yi Yu hurriedly shook his head, "I think there are dangers along the way, and you can choose not to help me." ”

"Then you want me not to help you?"

"I'm ......" Yiyu lowered his head again.

"Okay, I'll tell you why." The man chuckled and continued, "First of all, there's nothing wrong with Osawa being in danger, but that's for you. ”

"I've lived here for many years, and every corner of Daze is as familiar to me as my back garden."

"Secondly, I was going to travel in Daze, and helping you has no effect on me, but it may be a lifelong event for you."

"Since I have cultivated the way of the sword, I should use a sword to break through the injustice of the world."

"In the end, traveling alone is boring, and traveling with one person can be more fun, isn't it?"

The man winked at Yiyu.

Yi Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and completely let go of his only remaining defenses.

The two rested for a while, and then embarked on a journey to Shark Lake.

Along the way, the two encountered a lot of fierce beasts and demon spirits hidden in the depths of the miasma, I don't know if it was because the sword aura emanating from the man's body was too powerful, or if it was really as the man said, he was too familiar with the habits of these demon beasts, which made their trip so smooth.

Along the way, Yiyu talked to him a lot, and although he never asked his name, he listened to him talk a lot about his own experience.

Unconsciously, she found that she had a strange affection for him, relying on and admiring, longing and respecting.

There seemed to be only one thing in his life, and that was the sword in his arms. He regards the sword as his life, but he does not indulge in the sword.

This alone makes him different from ordinary sword idiots.

Crazy but not addicted, this is what she says about him.

"There's Lake Shark in front of you," the man stopped abruptly and said to Yiyu, "I can only send you here, they have always been very unfriendly to outsiders." ”

The man shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, pointed to a stone tablet by the lake and said, "You see that stone tablet, put your hand on the stone tablet, and someone will naturally come out to pick you up." ”

"Go, I'm here to watch over you."
