Wednesday, October 5th.

Three days have passed since the Battle of Pengcheng.

The discussion about the epee on the Internet not only did not subside, but intensified.

After all, just from the video footage that flowed out, you can get a glimpse of the power of the eight-armed giant.

The people of Middle-earth can recognize the terrifying origin of "Chiyou" at a glance. Even if people in other countries have not heard of Chiyou, they can feel the overwhelming sense of oppression from the video.

And the heavy sword man actually killed Chi You, which undoubtedly refreshed the world's cognition, and also made the world have a wide heated discussion about his strength.

You must know that in the past, there was only a seventh-order card master who was the strongest in cognition.

And the combat power performance of the heavy sword man has already broken through the seventh order, stepping into a realm that few people have reached, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is shocking.

Such a legendary card master, placed on the field of the World Series, can focus the eyes of the world in every game.

In the competition for the top four places, the epee is about to face off against Charlie, the 'King of Ambition' in the Glory Country.

As the first battle after the epee slashed Chiyou, this game was full of attention and heat.

The media from all over the world gathered in the imperial capital, scrambling for fear of missing the slightest bit of news related to the Heavy Swordman.

Because the deeds of killing Chi You were so shocking that even ordinary people who didn't dare to be interested in the card master world had a strong curiosity about the heavy sword man.

This is tantamount to a shot in the arm for media reporters, who are scrambling to report on the Epee to the point of digging up his past.

It will naturally involve Lin Xiao's past with the former President Roman during the federal period, but under the deliberate cover of the "greedy demon god" Mammon, these past events are like traces on the beach, washed away by the waves.

At Solomon Winery, the Commonwealth, red-haired women sit behind a long, Victorian wooden table with silver candlesticks and a tempting breakfast.

Mammon knows how to enjoy. As a "greedy demon god" who wields wealth, she has built the extravagant Temple of Ten Thousand Demons in hell, and has strict requirements for food.

In terms of the attributes of "gourmets", Beelzebub and Mammon have a lot in common. On the contrary, Leviathan, as a symbol of "devouring", does not know what food is, no matter what it is, just swallow it in your mouth.

It's breakfast time for the demon gods, and three of them are absent.

Belfinger is still sleeping, Samael the laborer is making wine, and Asmontis is now a well-known YouTuber at Comic-Con.

Lucifer shook his glass gracefully, Beelzebub munched on the Black Forest cream cake, and Leviathan had finished his breakfast, staring at the candlestick on the table and licking his lips.

Mammon sat in the main seat, wearing a white shirt with a tie, a cup of steaming black coffee in her hand, and a newspaper in her hand, staring at it with golden eyes.

Crash. Mammon closed the newspaper, glanced at the demon gods like older children, and muttered:

Lin Xiao ...... Do you know the deeds in Middle-earth? ”

Beelzebub's red lips were stained with cream, and he rolled his eyes: "I don't care if he lives or dies." ”

Leviathan 'rattle' chewed on the silver candlestick, deaf to him.

Lucifer asked calmly, "What deeds." ”

"Hmm...... You don't know how to use modern technology, and you don't know it. Mammon crossed his hands, pressed his chin against his chin, and said slowly: "He killed Chiyou." ”

There was a strange atmosphere in the room.

The corners of Beelzebub's eyes twitched.

Lucifer held the wine glass and said quietly, "Is it the god of war we know?" ”

"What other god is worthy of being called Chiyou?" Mammon asked with a smile.

Beelzebub dropped the silver knife and fork, and was the first to hold back: "True? That's Chiyou. ”

This name alone is enough to explain everything.

In terms of the ability to fight head-on, it is even better than the big red dragon Satan, who is regarded as the god of killing and war.

In the Middle Ages, even the Seven Deadly Demon Gods had to take a detour when they heard the name of this god.

Such a supreme god was actually killed by Lin Xiao? Beelzebub is incredible.

"I was a little surprised at first, too." "But the thought that he would be able to face the performance of Leviathan and Behemoth alone when he was in the Federation, and then grow through the journey of Middle-earth...... It is not impossible to kill an evil god with incomplete strength. ”

Her gaze shifted to Lucifer's body, waiting for the "head of the demon god" to give her opinion.

Lucifer was silent for a moment, his mind flashing back to the frustration he had suffered at his hands, remembering his rhetoric that he would help him investigate Doomsday.

"I was a little surprised." Lucifer said aggressively, "But since it's Lin Xiao, it's not surprising. ”

Mammon picked up the mug, took a sip of black coffee, and said with a smile, "I think so too." ”

Seeing that neither of them was surprised, Beelzebub sneered: "I think it is the two of you who have too much expectation for our Mr. Heavy Swordman. ”

Beelzebub bit down on the pronunciation of 'our' and slowed down his speech: "At the end of the day...... He's just a human being. It may be possible to kill the gods of today, but in any case, it is impossible to kill the supreme gods of the Middle Ages. ”

"Render to men what is man, and to God what is divine." Lucifer said something that didn't mean much.

"In that case...... Mammon's eyes shone with golden luster and the corners of his mouth tugged, "Wouldn't it be nice to make him a god?" ”

The two looked at Mammon in unison.

"Don't look at me like that." Mammon leaned back in her chair and said calmly, "We all have a contract with us, and we all have disasters that must be resolved. So his position is our position. ”

"He once said that there is no need for Noah's Ark, and that he will survive the end of the world on his own."

The corners of Mammon's mouth rose slightly, and she said gently: "Very naïve and cute idea......"

"And with his current performance, he does have the qualifications to fight against [Doomsday]. So I'm willing to help him. Mammon held up her cup, leaving Beelzebub and Lucifer silent.

Beelzebub's eyes flickered. Lin Xiao's deeds of killing Chi You brought her a great impact.

She originally had the mentality of watching the excitement.

After all, his strength will gradually recover to the ninth order, and even if the end comes, it will be a big deal for him to fall asleep again.

And Lin Xiao, even as a black dragon messenger, will be wiped out with humans in the face of the coming apocalypse. It's like the former overlord of the planet, the group of dragons of the primeval era.

But now, Mammon has given another plan, that is, to gather the power of the demon god and help Lin Xiao become a god.

This is almost no good for the demon god, except for an extremely slim hope - that is, the human race, represented by Lin Xiao, can defeat the apocalypse.

"When did you become an idealist?" Beelzebub sneered and said, "I don't remember that the demon god in charge of wealth would make a deal with one win and nine losses. ”

Mammon smiled, "Who knows. ”

Maybe it was in the Great Desert that he saw two giant beasts crushed by him. Maybe it was because I heard about him killing Chiyou, and I thought in my heart that he might really be a god.

But in any case, for Mammon, since the plan of "Noah's Ark" has failed, it is better to invest in Lin Xiao, which is better than doing nothing in the face of the apocalypse.

Lucifer, who had been silent, asked, "How can I help him?" ”

"It's easy, look for something similar to that bone." Mammon looked at Lucifer, "You know which skeleton I'm talking about. ”

Lucifer's silver eyes flickered slightly, and he bowed his head calmly, "I'll help." ”

Beelzebub turned his head to look at Lucifer and said in astonishment: "Hey, isn't it, when did you and Lin Xiao have such a good relationship?" This is a confrontation with the apocalypse, and the gods are so asleep last time! ”

Lucifer frowned slightly, his handsome and extraordinary face showed a hint of thought, looked at the red wine glass, and slowly spit out his answer:

"The wine he mixed ...... It was really delicious. ”

Beelzebub's eyes darkened, and Mammon smiled and said:

"I will use all my resources to conduct an investigation into the Immortal Skeleton...... There is no need to tell Lin Xiao about this matter for the time being, the war has just ended, let him relax for a while. ”

"You're like his old mother." Beelzebub spoke with the same foul-tongued tongue as ever.

Mammon shrugged her slender shoulders: "If you can have the strength to kill Chiyou, I will also volunteer to help you do anything, warm the bed." ”

"No, I'm afraid you have a big iron chain hidden under the covers, the kind that ties the three-headed Cerberus." Beelzebub scoffed.

"You know me very well." Mammon smiled.

……

Imperial Capital, Investigation Team, Inside the Office.

Sigrid put his squinting eyes on his knees, and raised his head and said curiously:

"Has Daifuku gained weight lately? The tonnage sinks again. ”

Lin Xiao's eyes moved away from the archaeological materials on the screen, leaned on the computer chair, and said:

"It's not that I'm fat, it's that I've evolved."

"Evolution?" The little secretary looked down at Daifuku, who was similar to usual, and blinked in surprise: "What kind of breed has it evolved?" ”

"Uh...... It's still a seal, but the quality is a golden legend. Lin Xiao said.

At the back table, Chu Yun almost squirted out a sip of tea, coughed and looked at the cute Dafu.

Legendary ...... Seal?

Who would spend a lot of effort and money to train a seal card to legendary quality?

No, Lin Xiao's brain circuit is not normal, and his trump card is even more abnormal, even Chi You can kill him.

Chu Yun calmed down and asked, "What is the name of the card?" ”

"Very domineering, Emperor Seal." Lin Xiao said, "It was evolved with the 'Ying Dragon's Wings' as the material, so it can be related to the emperor." ”

The corners of Chu Yun's mouth twitched, using Ying Long's wings as material, it was really extravagant.

"Yikes! Emperor Seals! The little secretary picked up Daifuku and rubbed his cheeks against the soft skin of the seal, "You're getting stronger again, Daifu!" ”

Daifuku purred in his sleep.

The phone vibrate, and Lin Xiao glanced at the information.

Jolene: "Have you had lunch?" ”

"Not yet, together?" Lin Xiao replied.

Jolene: "Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs. :D”

Lin Xiao: "What does a colon with a D mean?" ”

Jolene: "It's a smiley face, you come over and look at it." ”

Lin Xiao: "It's really :D"

Jolene: "Idiot. ”

Miss Jones is currently staying in a hotel exclusively for the contestants, just one floor away from Lin Xiao.

Rushing from the hotel to the investigation team, it was only about ten minutes away by motorcycle, so it was not a problem to make an appointment for dinner.

A short time later, the sound of the motorcycle's engine sounded downstairs. Lin Xiao looked out of the window, the girl in the cycling uniform took off her helmet, revealing a sassy high ponytail, obviously noticed Lin Xiao, raised her chin slightly, and smiled at the corner of her mouth.

"I'm leaving." Lin Xiao said hello.

"Stay safe." Chu Yun nodded.

"Well, lunch won't kill you." Sigrid is undoubtedly the old Si Ji.

"Subordinates are not allowed to refute the boss's mouth, and then run ten laps in the playground downstairs." Lin Xiao took Daifuku back to the card.

Sigrid was empty-handed, and her mouth was curled: "As long as the boss is in love, don't allow me, I'll hold Dafu......"

Come back with a pack of cigarettes... Chu Yungang wanted to tell Lin Xiao.

Turning his head, Lin Xiao had already jumped three floors through the window.

Chu Yun was silent for a moment and said, "How long has he been symptomatic?" ”

"After learning the spell card of "Soaring Clouds and Fog"......" the little secretary nodded sharply, "I have reason to suspect that immortals will not take the stairs honestly!" ”

The sun was shining, the red and gold motorcycle body of the 'Red Baron' reflected the sunlight, and Jolena leaned on her car and held her helmet in her hand: "Go to the seafood restaurant on South Street, do you know the way?" ”

"I don't know."

"Hmm... Then you, sit in the back seat of my car, and I'll drive you there. Jolene looked at the car.

"I can ride Queen and follow you."

"Okay...... Whatever you want. Jolene put on her helmet, straddled the motorcycle, hesitated, and whispered, "Actually, I want you to sit behind me." ”

Lin Xiao glanced at Jolena in surprise, unable to see her expression under the helmet.

"Hurry up and get in the car." Jolene put her hand on the accelerator and urged.

"Here we are." Lin Xiao has no opinion.

With the black cycling uniform and helmet that the 'Queen Band' came with, Lin Xiao sat on the back seat of the red motorcycle, and naturally grabbed the handrail of the back seat with both hands.

"I'm sitting still." Lin Xiao said.

"Hands a little further forward."

"Ahead of you is your waist."

"No, no problem." Jolene convinced herself that it was just manning.

Listening to Miss Jones's slightly cramped tone, Lin Xiao suddenly realized. If you have a love experience bar in your head, it must have risen a lot at this moment.

Wrapping her hands around Jolena's slender waist, Jolena whispered, "You'll fall this way......

Lin Xiao then hugged her waist. Jolena has a good figure, with an enviable vest line, and her almost strict body management can be detected through the cycling clothes, without a trace of fat.

There was a strange fragrance wafting from the tip of his nose, not a perfume or a cosmetic, Lin Xiao could hardly describe this smell, which reminded him of the starry and wonderful night in late autumn.

"Last time you were holding me." Lin Xiao suddenly said, "In the snow mountain." ”

The engine started, muffling the small tremors in Jolena's words, and her voice was calm: "You remember. ”

"yes." Lin Xiao took a deep breath on Jolena's shoulder, "It's been a long time. ”

The exhaust pipe suddenly stalled, Jolena pressed the brakes, took off her helmet, revealing her flushed cheeks, turned her back to Lin Xiao, and said indifferently, "You come and drive." ”

"Why?" Lin Xiao was at a loss.

"I'm out of energy." Jolena whispered.

"But I don't know the way." Lin Xiao found quite a serious problem.

Jolene snorted and said, "You can drive, I'll figure out the rest!" ”

The lunch was lackluster, but the boss was a fan of the epee people, and he was pleasantly surprised, changed the luxurious private room for free, and gave the biggest discount.

There was a vase of roses on the beautifully furnished candlestick dining table, and Jolene stared at Lin Xiao's face and said:

"So you're quite popular."

"It's an imaginary 'epee man' that's welcome, not me." Lin Xiao made a violent statement, "In the final analysis, man is only interested in his imagination and his own imagination. ”

"It sounds like the egotistical rhetoric of an adolescent." Jolene commented.

"Do you mean the second disease? Of course, I'm hopeless. Lin Xiao laughed.

Jolena also smiled, but her eyes gradually became serious, and she whispered, "You know what? I don't care. ”

"Maybe what I like, like you said, is just the projection of you in my head......"

Jolena stretched out her finger and stopped only a few feet away from Lin Xiao's cheek, and the red boy reflected Lin Xiao's face:

"But I don't care."

"Whether you want to save the world or fight the apocalypse, since I have chosen you, I will follow you all the way to the dark."

There was a ruthlessness in Jolena's eyes: "No matter how you are, you can't get rid of me." I'm going to follow you. ”

"What if I go to outer space?"

"Then I'll come with you."

"Another world?"

"Let's light a fire in the past, and then chase you to the New World......" Jolena cupped her cheeks, "I don't have much to be nostalgic about anyway." ”

"Mr. Jones will cry when he hears that." Lin Xiao joked.

"He? Whatever... But you might, need to meet him with me... You know, he's not easy to get along with..."

As she spoke, Jolena raised her gaze and looked at Lin Xiao carefully.

Lin Xiao nodded seriously with a serious face: "I'll go see him." ”

Jolena let out a long sigh of relief, lay back on the cushion, held her left arm with her right hand, and stared at Lin Xiao who was eating with her head down.

A gentle smile spread across her face, fleeting, and Jolene said softly in a rare tone, "Eat slowly." ”

After saying this, she covered her mouth in hindsight, and found that Lin Xiao didn't pay attention, and her heart was soft and incredibly quiet.

After a long time, like a sense of heaviness accumulated over time, Lin Xiao suddenly said:

"I promise you."

"What?" Jolene was stunned.

"I won't leave you behind." Lin Xiao raised her gaze, "Even if the end comes, I will go to the end of the world with you." ”

Jolena's red boy flickered slightly, the wind outside the window swept the leaves on the treetops, it was already the season of cold dew, winter was coming soon, and spring would not be too far away.

"Idiot."

……

Friday, October 7.

The semi-finals of the World Series kicked off in the spotlight.

The Imperial Capital Arena was crowded, and the giant stadium that could accommodate 100,000 people was full, and the cheers converged into a shocking sound.

The narrator's voice came on the scene, pushing the wave to a peak again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the World Series, the Final Four!"

"The two sides of this duel are the 'heavy sakeman' Lin Xiao and the 'Ambition King' Charlie-"

"I believe that the deeds of the two legends do not need to be repeated."

"Let the field card start to rotate at the same time, let's have the players on both sides!

”
