Chapter Seventy-Two: Genius or Madman?
When the seven of them wandered around the city until it was almost noon, Sister Qinqin, who received a lengthy phone call, suddenly said that there was something important to deal with and left in a hurry.
As soon as the senior sister left, Li Wenqing yelled to find a place to have lunch.
"I heard that there was a particularly delicious Sichuan restaurant on that stone street this morning, how about it? Do you want to try it? He licked his mouth very greedily.
"Sichuan food, it sounds good." Xi Meng didn't seem to object to Li Wenqing's proposal, she said with a smile, "I only ate Sichuan cuisine once when I traveled to Jincheng (Sichuan) with my friends two months ago, and now I still remember the taste of fried meat." ”
"Then let's go eat Sichuan food." Ren Zihua echoed absentmindedly and said that he didn't have time to eat at all now, and his messy mind would think about the bizarre picture on the Heavenly Magic Stone for a while, and then think about what books to pick when he went to the forbidden library at night to improve his strength most efficiently, and he would continue to review in his mind and read the nameless magic book for a whole night before he only understood three pages.
What does that starry moment on the Heavenly Magic Stone mean? The fatigue of studying magic all night had not yet come to the door for the time being, and Ren Zihua kept thinking for a moment to delay the invasion of sleepiness.
After a while, the six of them returned to the alley where they had gathered in the morning, and not far from the mushroom house, they walked into a beautiful western restaurant, and then ordered five dishes and one soup on a square table inside.
"Sure enough, all the buildings here are European-style, and even a Sichuan restaurant has such a cookie-cutter decoration." Shen Yan said a little boredly, "What do you say Senior Sister is doing?" What the hell matters? ”
"I don't know, but she looks like she's in a hurry." Li Wenqing said while putting a piece of fragrant fried pork into his mouth, "Don't worry about the private affairs of the senior sister first, what do you think Prince Wilson is doing in the church?" Isn't it time to set up the wedding scene in advance? ”
"Speaking of princes, I really never thought that I would be able to meet the legendary Prince Wilson in my lifetime, and just yesterday I just saw the true face of Emperor Yinyue." Xi Meng said with some, "I'm really glad that I was admitted to Moxi Academy in the first place." ”
"Indeed, a big man like him, ordinary people like us can usually see it on TV at most." Feng Xiaolan paused her chopsticks and said, "Next week's wedding between him and Princess Yinmi, the scene will definitely be quite shocking." ”
"What's the use of shocking, love doesn't just happen in an instant with a grand wedding." Li Wenqing said as if he was a little angry, and then began to bury his head in the rice.
Just as Ren Zihua was surprised by Li Wenqing's obsession, he noticed that there were many things like reward orders posted around the restaurant.
"Why are there so many ...... in restaurants?"
"You mean the bounty orders?" The waitress who passed by happened to hear Ren Zihua's question, "You are freshmen, you may not know yet, although the students of our school have not yet graduated, many of them have become professional swordsmen or magicians who can take charge of themselves, and there are not a few people who have joined the guild." All the restaurants in the royal city posted these bounty orders and updated them in real time, so that those students who were able enough could see them. ”
"I see." Ren Zihua suddenly remembered that there were some wanted notices like this posted in the mushroom house where he would eat breakfast, but there were only a few of them.
Having some interest in this, he simply finished the dry meal in two bites, and ran to the wall to look at the wanted notices.
There are many kinds of wanted notices, not only those with blue paper bounties for demonic beasts, but also many red paper bounties for ghosts, which immediately made Ren Zihua think of the existence of a race called "ghost clan" among the seven clans he saw on the mysterious APP before.
The pictures of the ghosts on the red notice are quite terrifying, judging from those pictures, the so-called ghost clan seems to have a human-like posture, but the faces are extremely ugly, all of them are full of wrinkles and twisted faces, and people are afraid to have nightmares at night.
Ren Zihua also found that the bounty amount of those ghosts was almost generally higher than that of Warcraft, so does this mean that the threat of ghosts is greater than that of Warcraft? He couldn't help but think in his heart.
"I really want to become a professional swordsman soon, so that I can kill these bounty monsters and get paid." Li Wenqing walked to Ren Zihua's side coldly and startled him.
"One thing I still don't understand, how did these monsters and ghosts come to the world? Isn't our world and theirs separated by something called the Wall of Limits? Ren Zihua suddenly asked as if he remembered.
"Well, I remember listening to the teacher talk about it before, it seems to say that there is a mysterious phenomenon called multidimensional fluctuations in this world, which will cause the spatial intersection of these three worlds to be disordered, so that some monsters and ghosts can take this opportunity to come to the human world." Li Wenqing explained as best he could.
"These three worlds? Is it only our human world that has such mysterious fluctuations with them? Ren Zihua asked strangely.
"It is said that many thousands of years ago, the world of human beings, the world of demons, and the world of ghosts originally existed on the same plane." Seeing that Li Wenqing couldn't answer, Xi Meng, who was still at the dinner table, continued to explain, "But then I don't know what happened, the three races were stripped into three worlds, so only the ghost race and the demon race will occasionally come to our world by mistake, and the elves need to be summoned by different spaces through the super difficult elf magic to come to the human world." ”
"It is said that in that distant era when humans stood on the same continent as demons and demons, there was never a stop war between the three races, and neither race wanted to pacify the other two races, but none of them finally realized its ambitions." The erudite Meng Zhuanghu added, "But these stories are somewhat mythical and legendary. ”
I see, so to speak, did the guy with half the strength of the Demon King also come to the human world by taking advantage of the spatial confusion? Wait, if the Demon King can also come to the human world so simply, then what has he been waiting for a thousand years? Why hasn't he come to take revenge yet? Could it be that the wounds suffered thousands of years ago were so severe that they needed to be rehabilitated for such a long time? The more Ren Zihua thought about it, the more strange he felt.
"You know what?" Feng Xiaolan said in a serious tone that made people feel a little abrupt at this time, "It is said that the demonic beasts and ghosts who can now come to the present world through multi-dimensional fluctuations are just small characters in their original world, even those supernatural level demonic beasts and demons that we define as the highest dangerous level. ”
So that's the case, is this the reason why the Demon King hasn't come? That's why he's only now sent the man in black to help him achieve some goals and help him retrieve the magic sword, so what will he do after that? What will that man do next, why has he been silent for so long, and is there really some conspiracy being planned? For example, a ruse to bring the eternal night into this world?
"How did the demon king of a thousand years ago come here?" Ren Zihua asked eagerly again, and he set his eyes on Feng Xiaolan, who was still sitting at the dining table.
"Why are you talking about such a depressing topic...... Xi Meng muttered, and then as she had done many times before, she turned her head slightly and slowly moved her gaze to Ren Zihua who was still standing by the wall, she found that Ren Zihua at this moment seemed to be very different from before, maybe the time of acquaintance was too short, and she had never seen the look on Ren Zihua's face as serious as it is now.
"I've heard that the Eternal Night has broken the wall of limits by its own power." Feng Xiaolan was just halfway through her words when she heard someone burst out laughing.
"Hey, I said dude, you have to make a draft if you brag about it, right? It's like the real thing. A boy at the next table mocked happily, "There has never been a book that explains how the eternal night came to this world a thousand years ago, how can you still talk about it so well?" ”
"I guess I want to pretend to be forced in front of girls, it's really good, I dare to make up anything." The other boy also whispered, "Hey, look at that fool standing by the wall, that fool seems to believe it, you see, damn it, laughing to death." ”
"Hahahaha!"
There was a shrill ridicule in the restaurant, Xi Meng felt very uncomfortable, and wanted to stand up and reason with the other party, but she looked at Feng Xiaolan beside her and found that the expression on the latter's face did not fluctuate at all, as if she had not heard the previous ridicule and the laughter around her at the moment. She looked back at Ren Zihua again, and found in disbelief that his determined eyes had not changed in the slightest, still looking in the direction of Feng Xiaolan and waiting for the second half of his words.
Why not get angry? Xi Meng's heart was full of doubts, Shen Yan and Meng Zhuanghu both looked embarrassed, their expressions were very embarrassed, and the change in their demeanor was the reaction that a normal person should have in Xi Meng's eyes.
Li Wenqing was about to rush towards the person who took the lead in coaxing with an arrow, but Ren Zihua grabbed his arm.
"Eternal Night is the strongest of the four demon kings, a thousand years ago he forcibly broke the limit by himself, but the Demon King of the World, who was beaten by the four chosen ones, now has no ability to forcibly cross the realm." Amid the ridicule of the people, Feng Xiaolan continued to say calmly, "As far as I know, if he really wants to return to the present world as predicted thousands of years ago, then he must use those six demon eyes. ”
"What MONOCULUS?" Although Ren Zihua didn't know how Feng Xiaolan learned about these things, he was not shocked by this, but inexplicably trusted the suddenly incomprehensible man in front of him and his sudden nonsense.
What the hell happened to these two people? What is Feng Xiaolan talking about? Shen Yan simply felt that the scene happening in front of his eyes at this moment was completely unreasonable, what? Are all geniuses crazy?
Seeing that the people around him were smiling more and more, the three people who were still sitting at the dinner table couldn't eat anymore, and the expressions on their faces couldn't hide their embarrassment.
"Hey, hey! You see these two fools are getting more and more energetic the more they talk. ”
"The so-called Demon Eye is the six Demon Caves left by Eternal Night thousands of years ago that can break the limit if they are destroyed at the same time, and each Demon Eye has a demon family whose strength is far above that of the ability level of the Demon Beast." Feng Xiaolan continued to speak extremely calmly, and Xi Meng beside him also began to listen to his words carefully, "Those demon clan dependents have now been sealed for thousands of years. ”
Hearing this, Ren Zihua was silent, he suddenly glanced at the laughing people in the restaurant, and instantly understood that if what Feng Xiaolan was saying was true historical facts, then modern people actually don't know these truths. But where did Feng Xiaolan know these truths that have been buried for a long time in the long years and that ordinary people can't know?
But in this way, what the man in black is planning Ren Zihua understands. He expected that the bastard who had some connection with the Demon King would definitely go to the six Demon Eyes in turn to unseal those demon dependents, and then make them destroy the Demon Eye at the same time, and usher in the real Demon King Eternal Night.
"The person who fought you in Qixia Mountain that day, do you know what his true identity is?" As soon as Feng Xiaolan said this, Ren Zihua couldn't calm down anymore, the expression on his face suddenly became very frightened, and his wide eyes stared straight at Feng Xiaolan's back.
"Feng Xiaolan, ...... you?"
The noisy students around also became quiet at this moment, and the laughter stopped abruptly at this moment, only for a purple-haired swordsman with a sword in his right hand walked in.
Liu Chenhe?! How did he end up here? Seeing the sudden appearance of the Twelve Swords of the Protector, Xi Meng and Shen Yan at the dinner table widened their eyes in disbelief.
"Ren Zihua......" Feng Xiaolan didn't seem to notice Liu Chenhe's appearance, he turned his head and looked at Ren Zihua's eyes with a terrifying murderous aura, "You actually know that, right?" Who is that man? ”
......
On the second floor of the castle, Emperor Yinyue, who had just finished the meeting, was bathing in a huge bath large enough to accommodate a hundred people. He was enjoying the hot bath water with a pleasant face, and just as he was soaking in it, a girl in a gorgeous dress suddenly pushed the door open and burst in front of him.
"Brother, why do you want to make a claim to marry me to Prince Wilson?" The girl's delicate face was already covered with tears, "Didn't I tell you many times before?" I already have someone I like, why do you want to do this? ”
"Don't say that, brother, I'm also for your good." Yinyue seemed to have expected that the princess would come to make trouble, and dealt with it very calmly, "Why did you break in so aggressively, do you want to take a bath with your brother when you are so old?" ”
"Did all the promises you made with him lie to him? You're so shameless! Princess Yinmi's choked voice trembled with too much anger, "You obviously said that as long as he can win the first place in the Hundred Cities Sword Conference next year, you will agree to let me marry him, but now you are out and ...... the opposite."
"Hmph," said the Emperor with disdain...... "just that boy, I just wanted him to retreat." ”
