Hughes slowly opened his eyes, feeling that he was in a warm and soft place, a feeling he had almost never had, and he had lived in alienation and coldness that had been incompatible with him since he was a child. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Are you awake?" a gentle female voice sounded.

Hughes froze, and then he saw the face of the person in front of him, it was Wen Jing.

Hughes was defeated by Caesar just now and fell in the center of the square, and at this moment he had been secretly carried by Wen Jing to an inconspicuous corner on the edge of the square.

“...... What about Caesar?" Hughes asked in a deep voice.

Wen Jing's eyes flashed gloom and loss, thinking that you didn't have anything to say to me after all, the first thing that came to mind when I woke up was Caesar, but on the surface, he was silent, and said briefly: "Caesar and that dragon lord have fought." However, the Phoenix general she ...... Killed in battle......"

Hughes sighed and asked, "Teacher Phoenix is actually dead?"

Wen Jing sighed, "Yes." However, I didn't expect you to be willing to call her teacher, I thought you were cold and ruthless, and you only had Caesar in your eyes. ”

Hughes said lightly: "Although I pretended to be disdainful of Teacher Phoenix in order to provoke Caesar before. But in fact, even in Sendlaw, Teacher Phoenix's talent and methods are top-notch, and she has reached such heights with the profession of Wind and Thunder Mage, and she deserves to be called a teacher by me. ”

As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the square, and saw a large number of Imperial people surrounding the two people in the center, one of whom was constantly changing angles to attack, it was Caesar, who could see that he had exhausted all his means, but he could not help Susan on the other side, he attacked again and again, and then staggered back again and again.

Susan didn't seem to be in a hurry to win, but parried at random, while concentrating on Caesar's moves and methods.

Obviously, she wanted to get the Manus inheritance, so she was not in a hurry to kill Caesar, but wanted to gradually see through the mystery of the Manus inheritance in the process of fighting.

It's also a shame that Susan didn't use all her strength, and only dismantled the move with Caesar, otherwise the two sides collided with all their strength, and everyone in the square except Caesar would be finished.

But even if Susan only used one-tenth of his strength, Caesar still fought extremely hard, and everyone could see that as time went on, it would definitely be Caesar who would lose in the end.

Wen Jing looked at Hughes and asked softly, "Can you help Caesar?"

The corners of Hughes's mouth twitched, and he asked rhetorically, "You won't forget which side I'm on, right? I just had a fight with Caesar and lost, why should I help him?"

Wen Jing asked, "Well...... Why are you helping Susan?"

Hughes said coldly, "What am I going to do, it seems that I don't need to report the reason to you, right?"

Wen Jing sighed again and said, "It's really not necessary, when did the blood ghost Hughes care about the minds of others." ”

Then she really shut her mouth and said no more.

Hughes frowned and said, "That's all that has been said, why don't you kill me?" I can't move now, but you should know that once I regain my mobility, I will become an enemy that you can't deal with." ”

Wen Jing sighed, smiled and said, "So what?"

Hughes squinted, "Aren't you from Earth Street? You and I are enemies, is your Earth Street code to be with the enemy?"

Wen Jing said: "I don't care if Earth Street is not Earth Street or something." Anyway, looking at the current situation, Caesar can't beat Susan after all, and everyone will die in the end, does it matter who I help? You have to help Susan, okay, I'll be with you. ”

Hughes laughed and said, "You woman, are you crazy?"

Wen Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Who said no, I'm really crazy, I'm not crazy when I like you, a madman, what is it? For you, an unreasonable guy, I risked my life to bring you here, I don't know what I think." ”

Hughes froze for a moment, and for the first time a strange emotion finally appeared in his eyes.

Wen Jing took a breath, regained her composure, and said, "After watching the phoenix commit suicide for Caesar, I think I was probably a little too timid before. Yes, Hughes, I like you, I've loved you since I was a student, and I like it until now. Although the words you have spoken to me add up to no more than thirty sentences, I, Xu Wenjing, have been captured by you for some reason, and I don't understand why. ”

Hughes was shocked and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

It's no secret that Wen Jing likes Hughes, Caesar also teased Hughes at the beginning.

After the Dragon Road mission, Hughes fell into a coma, and Wen Jing specially arranged the best hospital under the name of Earth Street and arranged the best inpatient environment for Hughes.

But then Hughes awoke from his coma, seemed to have awakened himself, and after making a big fuss, he left, disappearing.

Hughes certainly knew that Wen Jing liked him, but he never cared.

It's just that he didn't expect that this girl would be willing to betray the whole world for herself!

A cold voice suddenly came: "Wen Jing, are you planning to betray us and help this Susan's accomplice?"

Wen Jing's face changed, and she stood up and stood in front of Hughes.

I saw Luo, Ma Qi, Hongyi, Xiaode and other teenagers and girls who were studying together in the experimental department of Aoki Academy at the beginning, and they surrounded them silently and questioned Wen Jing, it was Luo.

"Get out of the way. March said with some regret, "We can't do anything for Caesar, we can't do anything at all, then at least let us do what we can to kill this Susan's accomplice, a traitor to the Empire, here." ”

As he spoke, he looked coldly at Hughes who was sitting on the ground.

Hughes just sneered, and didn't seem to take Lo and March in his eyes at all, but turned his head to look not far to the right, and said with a smile: "Wataru, are you here to kill me too?"

At the beginning of the experimental department, Hughes was the well-deserved first, and Wataru was the only person qualified to compete with Hughes, Wataru always regarded Hughes as his biggest opponent, even if Caesar arrived, he did not give in to change the goal.

Wataru walked out slowly, looked at Hughes, and said in a low voice: "I originally thought that even if we were opponents, even if I might not be able to beat you for the rest of my life, at least, we would be partners on the same side." Sorry, you have to die here today. ”

Wen Jing shouted: "If you want to kill him, kill me first!"

Hongyi and Wen Jing have been good friends since childhood, and the first time Caesar saw Hongyi, it was Wen Jing who introduced him.

Hongyi didn't understand why Wen Jing liked Hughes, and finally couldn't help but say when he saw this: "Wen Jing, why are you protecting him so much? He is the enemy of our empire!"

Wen Jing gritted her teeth, tears flowed from her eyes, and said miserably: "I said it, I don't know why, but just like we discussed in private at the beginning, which girl hasn't made a fool of the person she likes-"

Suddenly, her eyes turned white and she fell.

Hongyi exclaimed, only to see Hughes slash Wen Jing's neck with a hand knife, knocking her unconscious. Without saying a word, Wataru immediately rushed forward, the power of wind and thunder wrapped around his body, and the speed was unmatched among the younger generation of wind and thunder mages.

Hughes snorted, shook his hand and threw Wen Jing's body over, and was stunned, and had to slow down to catch Wen Jing.

And Hughes took advantage of this gap to rush towards Lo, March, Redcoat and the others like ghosts, only to hear a series of bangs, and when he turned around, the ground had already fallen down, and Hughes passed the crowd and walked away.

Looking at the direction he went, it was Caesar and Susan who were facing each other in the square.

"Damn, that guy has been beaten like that, does he still retain such strength?" Wataru gritted his teeth and tried his best to chase after him, but he couldn't catch up.

The crowd around the square was preoccupied with the battle of Caesar and Susan, but they didn't expect Hughes to suddenly break into the field.

Xu Ziling secretly scolded himself for being confused, "Why didn't you just take advantage of this kid to pass out and kill him directly?" Damn, I only thought about how else to defeat Susan, but I forgot about this guy!"

Nuo Nuo wanted to enter the field to help, but was pulled by the female general, "Don't go over, your current state, you will die in vain if you go up." Caesar had already lost his phoenix, and he could not afford to lose more. ”

With such a hesitation, Hughes had completely broken into the arena and shouted, "Caesar!!"

Caesar was already tired and dying in the duel with Susan, and when he heard Hughes's shout, he didn't answer, but only took two steps back, staring at him, and secretly crying out in his heart: "One Susan, plus one Hughes, how can I fight?"

Susan shouted dissatisfiedly: "Hughes, it's none of your business here, you stand aside, it's my battle with Caesar!"

Hughes turned a deaf ear and rushed straight towards Caesar.

Susan was furious and threw a punch in the air, slamming Hughes in the back. Hughes spurted out a mouthful of blood, but with the push of this force, he accelerated towards Caesar, and then slammed into Caesar's arms that Caesar raised to block!

At this moment, Caesar's whole body was shocked, and an incredible expression appeared on his face.

He didn't feel any impact force from Hughes, but seemed to be stuck by Hughes, and a strange aura was injected into Caesar's body along the place where the two came into contact, and then rushed directly into Caesar's heart like a fish in water!

That breath came all the way to the place where the dragon woke up, and transformed into the appearance of Hughes, which was actually a projection of Hughes's soul will!

Caesar's consciousness projection soon appeared in the place where the dragon awakened, and he looked at Hughes with an ugly face, and asked in a low voice, "Why can you also come here? I am clearly my dragon awakening place, why can you come in without any restrictions?"

"The Dragon's Awakening Place, hehe, is that the name you gave this place?" Hughes smiled strangely, "This place is called a different place to me, I call it the Soul Furnace. ”

"Soul Crucible?" Caesar frowned, "what else do you know, what are you doing here?"

Hughes didn't answer and asked, "How are you going to win Susan?, oh, don't answer me, I guess you must want to go up to the sixth level of the ladder on the other side and see if something on it can help you make a comeback, right?"

Caesar was even more astonished, and said, "Is the long ladder called the ladder on the other side......?" Why do you know everything......?"

Hughes showed an incomparably complicated and bitter smile and said, "Yes, I don't know anything, you don't know anything, but if I had a choice, I'd rather be like you." ”

He walked over to Caesar.

Caesar's face turned pale, and he was contemplating.

Hughes stopped three meters in front of Caesar, stretched out his hand, and said, "I lost to you just now, yes I lost, and I admit it." Just now I told Wen Jing that I would continue to help Susan kill you, but I actually lied. The moment I lose to you, I am not qualified to continue to oppose you. ”

Caesar was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Hughes said, "Caesar, don't you want to defeat Susan? Don't you want to open the sixth layer of the ladder? Your thinking is completely correct, but without my help, you can't do it in your life." ”

Caesar said, "I know it's hard, but what does that have to do with you?"

Hughes said, "Because the key to the sixth layer is with me." ”
