Chapter Fifty-Six: A Trip to the Capital (1) The Galaxy of Stars
In the bleak autumn wind, Xinghe and his party stood on the road on the outskirts of the city.
Rong Ruo told them to meet here in the morning, but it was almost noon and the girl hadn't shown up yet. Anton was already waiting a little frantically, kicking the stones on the side of the road while complaining loudly, "Is that bastard playing us?"
"She's a little unreliable, but she shouldn't be joking about this kind of thing. Shigego said with some uncertainty.
"Is this unreliable!" Anton was already mad, "It's a few points!"
Xinghe frowned, although he didn't complain, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart, his first impression of the demon spirit girl was not good, the attitude of the girl when she was in the hospital was very casual, although he knew that most of the demon spirits would not look at other races, and he was not qualified to ask a demon spirit to treat humans equally, but this feeling of being teased was still very unpleasant.
It was late autumn, although there was no cloud overhead, but the autumn wind made Xinghe feel a little bit of the temperature from the sun, Ling was determined to see him off, Xinghe thought it wouldn't take much time, so he agreed, who knew that waiting was so long, although the wheelchair was covered with a blanket, Xinghe was still a little worried about her body, so he bent down and squatted in front of her, "Xiaoling, why don't you go back first, the fat man and I are not children who don't know anything, so we don't need to send us." ”
Ling lowered her head and whispered, "It's okay, I want to stay for a while." ”
Seeing this, Anton and Chonggo also squatted in front of her and persuaded, "Xiaoling, it's better to go back first." ”
But Ling's attitude was unexpectedly resolute, she buried her head in the bear she was holding in her arms, and let her somewhat disheveled white hair cover her face, without saying a word, but the meaning was obvious, she refused to go.
Shigego and Anton turned their inquiring eyes to Xinghe, he glanced at Rei, and then sighed, "Okay then, if you're uncomfortable, just say it, be careful not to catch a cold." ”
Hearing that he agreed, Ling raised her head, a smile appeared on her face, and nodded firmly, "Hmm." ”
"Look, isn't that bastard!" Anton suddenly shouted, and Xinghe looked in the direction he was pointing, and a small carriage slowly walked towards them, and it was Rong Ruo who drove it.
Xinghe took a deep breath and stood up straight, while not forgetting to remind Anton, "Fatty, pay attention to your proportions when you speak, after all, you are still counting on her to take us to the capital." ”
"You know, I look like someone who doesn't understand anything?" Anton rolled his eyes.
The carriage gradually approached, Rong Ruo, who was sitting in the driving position, lazily waved the reins in her hand, she rubbed her somewhat worried eyes, and said while yawning, "Morning, you are all here." ”
"It's not early, it's not early, it's just a few hours ahead of you. Anton said angrily, "And, miss, strictly speaking, it's almost time for lunch at this point." ”
"Really?" Rong Ruo suddenly came to her senses, "Then let's go have lunch first." Her serious expression completely made Anton fall into a collapse, he pointed at Rong Ruo, and trembled uncontrollably, "You!"
"Okay, okay, if you don't eat lunch, don't you eat lunch, why are you so fierce?" Rong Ruo pursed her small mouth and muttered, Anton's whole person was almost crazy, Xinghe hurriedly patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.
He stepped forward and looked up at Rong Ruo, who was sitting in the car, "Miss, we've been delayed for half a day, can we stop wasting time?"
Rong Ruo lowered her head, with an aggrieved look on her face, "Okay, okay, I know, get in the car, I'll take you shorter, I will definitely be able to reach the Elven River a few days faster than expected." ”
"Shortcut, is it okay?" Xinghe suddenly had some bad premonitions.
Rong Ruo patted her chest and said confidently, "Believe me, it's definitely fine." ”
Xinghe walked to the back of the car with some suspicion, he and Anton didn't know the way to the capital, how to go, in fact, it still depends on this girl, she is so confident, there should be no problem.
Thinking so, Xinghe climbed into the carriage from the back of the car, and then pulled Anton up and pulled him up as well.
Shigego pushed Rei's wheelchair to the back of the car, and he looked at the two people in the car, "Be careful. ”
"So are you. Xinghe nodded at him, and Anton was more direct, leaning out half of his body directly from the carriage, grabbed Chongwu's collar at once, and said viciously: "You kid listened to me, take good care of Xiaoling, if anything goes wrong, see if I don't strangle you!"
Shigego nodded firmly, "Well, I will!"
Being troubled by Anton like this, Ling's face also showed a smile, she raised her head and looked at Xinghe and Anton, "You must find Sister Xiaoyue!"
"Don't worry, we'll definitely find Satsuki. Xinghe stood up with the frame of the carriage and looked at the two people outside, "It's windy here, you guys go back first!"
"Hold on, let's go!" suddenly there was an excited call from the front of the car, and before Xinghe could react, he heard a loud "pop" from the front of the car, and the carriage suddenly moved.
Xinghe was holding on to the door frame, so it was nothing, and half of Anton's body was still outside the carriage and didn't come back, and suddenly started to gallop and the carriage almost threw him out directly, but Xinghe pulled him back by the corner of his clothes.
He spread out on the ground, patted his chest with palpitations, and yelled at the front of the car at the same time: "Miss, are you going to kill me!"
Rong Ruo glanced back at him, then pouted, "Who made you sit on the ground well......
"You!" Anton clutched his chest, choking with anger.
"Moreover, don't call the eldest lady, I have a name, my name is Rong Ruo!" As if vindictive, Anton just interrupted her, she immediately raised her voice, and at the same time turned back to stare at Anton with her own crimson eyes.
Looking at Chonggo and Ling on the side of the road behind him turning into two small black dots, Xinghe turned his head and looked at Rong Ruo, who was driving, he was suddenly full of worries about the future of this lying journey.
Last night, Xinghe and Anton were in order to pack their luggage, and both of them had something on their minds, so the rest place was not good, plus they got up early this morning to go to the meeting point that Rong Ruo said, stood in the cold wind and waited for a morning, at this time, both of them were a little tired, and when they were not on the road, Anton fell asleep in the shaking carriage, and even snored, and the girl driving heard his snoring and muttered in a low voice, "Lazy pig." ”
Xinghe thought it was a little funny, they behaved like a few angry children, but then he was relieved, they were originally a group of half-grown children, although Rong Ruo looked a little older than them, but she was probably thirteen or fourteen years old.
Although Xinghe also felt very tired, but the pent-up worry in his heart made him unable to close his eyes, sitting on the rickety carriage, he began to try to find something to do for himself, in the hospital the girl tripped him with her hands together is still fresh in his memory.
Two years ago, on the way to escape, his father and Aunt Ye only taught him some bits and pieces, although he had magic in his body, but he was completely black about how to use these magic powers, and so far he could only move some things that were not too heavy out of thin air, and they were not very accurate.
Although he was only twelve years old, he had already seen many powerful spellcasters, in the capital he had seen the confrontation between his father and the middle-aged demon spirit, the surging magic contained the power to destroy the world, on the way to escape, he had seen Aunt Ye teleport them, the elusive ability shocked him, in Shiva Town, he saw even more powerful spellcasters and more powerful magic, the stone giant that Walit conjured, the beast that Pavic transformed, and the Jose who took Arazuki away......
But those spells are too advanced for him, he has no way to start, but that day Rong Ruo used the magic in the hospital is different, it is very simple, although in the tavern in the capital before, Xinghe has also seen some simple magic on those children, but at that time Xinghe still knew nothing about magic, then on the way to escape, his father taught him how to feel the fluctuations of magic, in this matter he learned quickly, He Dong also bluntly said that he is very sensitive to the fluctuations of magic, he clearly remembers the fluctuations he felt on the girl that day, he tried to imitate the girl's behavior, closed his eyes and concentrated on controlling his magicand put your hands together.
For a moment, and it seemed like a long time had passed, he felt a glimmer of something, but he missed it, and when he tried to catch it again, he couldn't find that feeling again, he opened his eyes a little dazedly, everything remained the same in the carriage, nothing happened, he failed.
"It's not like that. ”
Xinghe looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Rong Ruo looking at him with a strange expression.
