The night is desolate.

In the flower capital, there is an artificial river flowing quietly.

The river is like the blood vessels of a city, and the groundwater resources of Huadu are quite abundant, and the pollution control of the river is also quite in place.

Since the magic resources used in Rome as a whole are from the ore mining and element enrichment of the underground labyrinth, the pollution to the environment is very small, and even the large number of applications of various magic facilities has led to the growth and mutation of plants faster.

A large part of Huadu's municipal works are spent on maintaining these plants that are prone to mutation.

And in the moonlight, the river itself emits a faint blue light, which is the enrichment of elemental energy itself.

Soon, a small hand pierced out of the river and grabbed the bluestone steps on the bank.

It is a relatively remote lower river, and almost no one passes by.

The pale hand pressed against the shore, and with difficulty it moved the body, then the head, then the shoulders, and finally the abdomen.

The little figure, whose whole body was soaked with running water, was moving its body to the shore with great effort, and a large pool of water stains gathered under him.

She covered her mouth and nose and let out a coughing sound, spitting out the water she had accidentally swallowed.

A small amount of organ fragments and jet-black blood were faintly visible in the vomit.

After sitting still for a while, she raised her hand to remove her wet hair, revealing a pair of dark red eyes, and under the long hair was the face of a young girl.

She twisted her body and looked back at the river, and in the reflection of the moonlight, she saw a somewhat vague appearance, and the little girl let out a faint sigh like the vicissitudes of adulthood.

"It's a terrible situation."

She whispered, "I didn't expect it to hurt so badly." ”

She touched her hands, and the ring she had been wearing on her hand had fallen off because of the shrinkage of her body.

And the reason why the body shrinks is to recover from the injury.

"It's about fourteen or fifteen years old."

"It's almost like losing a life."

The little girl murmured.

She took off her coat, which was clearly ill-fitting due to the shrinkage of her body.

And it's already soaking wet, and wearing it on your body is constantly lowering your body temperature.

She wondered if she wanted to start a fire, but after thinking about it, she gave up on the idea.

It's just a little cold, but it's bearable.

Pulling out the pocket of his coat, he pulled out a receipt from the restaurant, a notebook, a pen with a black rose pattern, and a wallet...... It contained a wet wad of banknotes and a number of coins.

When she opened the restaurant receipt, she saw the signed text on it...... Melusina.

In an instant, the memory was like a spark, and her originally somewhat chaotic mind immediately returned to consciousness.

"Yes, I'm Melusina."

She continued to frown and recall, "I should have been talking to people on the top seat of the Golden Wind before, and then, and then ......"

A flash of fire has sprung up in memory.

She noticed burnt holes in the corners of her coat.

It's an explosion.

Very violent explosion.

And it's not just yourself who is caught up in it, most of the restaurants with the wind of gold have been ignited.

The moment he was swept up in the explosion, he was already unconscious...... Maybe I had fainted by then.

The small face showed a mature expression that did not match his age. Melusina said to herself: "I must have fallen from a height of more than a dozen stories, but I was lucky enough to fall into the river, and I drifted down the river until I got here." ”

She coughed twice in a low voice again.

I tried to get up, but I felt a pain too.

The injury is not well complete.

This is an inherent magic that Melusina awakens to after stepping into the Third Order, and she calls it a 'ghoul'...... It doesn't sound good, but it can save lives when it matters.

The devoured corpse can be other corpses, including various foods, which are also corpses; Devouring the necrotic part of one's own body is also devouring a corpse......

She kept this inherent magic running for years to make sure that it would save her life in the event of danger.

The more severe the injury, the more body tissue is consumed to speed up recovery from the injury, which leads to a smaller body and less age.

She set a lower limit for herself, usually no less than ten years old, at least not to degenerate herself into an infant.

Melusina covered her forehead: "I need to find a place to recuperate, and ...... What the hell is going on? ”

"The wind of gold is a place where many business tycoons have endorsed their credit, and it should be absolutely safe."

"There are definitely not a few people involved this time."

Because of the weakness of my physical strength, it is a bit laborious to think at this time.

Melusina held her knees and went from sitting on a duck to a flat seat.

Now she needs to contact the people around her to pick it up, but her usual World Tree medium has dropped...... It's a pity, it's a limited edition of just a thousand in the world.

However, leaves have never been a rare product, and they have to be replaced as much as they can.

I found another old 'leaf' in my wallet.

Leaves are the medium of the world tree, and it plays the role of an information terminal, which has been around for more than 200 years, and naturally there are various styles.

Although the frequency of replacement is not as fast as that of modern people every few years, new models are usually launched every ten years on average, and with the spontaneous involution behavior of manufacturers, the shape of leaves has gradually become irrelevant to leaves.

The interesting thing is that different versions of the media naturally have different functions, such as the difference in the operating system and the internal chip, and the experience is completely different, but it is not necessarily that the old version is necessarily weaker than the new version...... In the past, mobile phones could remove the battery, a universal charge could do it all, and even some mobile phone shells were hard enough to be blunt, which is its advantage.

The leaves used by Melusina for emergency communications were a product of ten generations ago, a hundred years ago, and could be sold for thousands of dollars in the antique market; About 10 percent of these antiques can still be connected to the world's network.

Because of its full wear and tear and the accumulation of technology that is a hundred years behind, no one will repair this antique item, so as a tool for stealth communication, it performs extremely well and will not be robbed of communication channels at all.

The disadvantage is that the signal is relatively weak.

But within the Huadu range, the signal can be reinforced by the base station.

Melusina pressed the communication button for the old antique medium.

A pleasant bell rang.

'Sorry, the person you are dialing is not in the service area, please arrive at the designated service area before dialing. ’

In the service area, it means outside the signal circle.

But this is within the confines of Huadu, and it is impossible to be without a signal.

It took Melusina a second to immediately conclude that the signal in this area was blocked.

By chance?

No, it can't be accidental.

The golden wind exploded, and she was swept into it, just falling into the river, drifting for an unknown distance, and got up from here, and when she wanted to communicate, the signal was blocked.

How many coincidences have come together to produce the current result?

Melusina has been doing business since she was sixteen years old, and she has seen a lot of deception in the business field, and she has also seen all kinds of absurdity, madness, and outrageous gangs, evil mages, and believers in the outer gods, and has dealt with the Holy Church and Roman officials, and at the age of twenty-six, she has already seen all the vicissitudes of life.

She doesn't believe in the phrase 'the world is a grass platform', there is no so-called coincidence in this world, there may not be so many smart people, but there are definitely a lot.

Just because a lot of people are pretending to be drunk doesn't mean they're not sober.

Melusina immediately crushed the leaves in her hand and threw them into the river beside her.

Whether the signal shielding is true or not, it is useless.

When she lost it, she was well aware that the rest of the year would be very painful.

Now I am deeply injured and I can't get through on the phone.

At this time, she is not much different from a weak young girl in the true sense of the word.

The body is weak, the limbs are weak, and there is only the slightest magic power left to use, and he can barely rub a small flame, and he can only rub it three times like the little girl who sells firewood, and he has no ability to protect himself.

If it's against her, it's almost, and it's time for someone to be eager to make the debut.

And in her vigilant gaze, footsteps really sounded in this rarely visited place.

It's a pity that she doesn't have the stamina to dodge.

At this time, even if you turn over and jump into the river, there is a high probability that you will be drowned.

She looked ahead, and she had to figure out who the other person was...... Friend or foe?

……

At this time, a beautiful boy is walking in the moonlight with a sweet and delicious baked muffin in his hand.

Look around, wait for the target to come to the door by themselves, and then say, 'Hey, hey, got you, yummy kid'......

When I walked to the river, my eyes suddenly stopped.

The Great Xia people looked down at the little girl sitting by the river.

The latter raised his head, dressed in an inappropriate overcoat, and his eyes were full of wariness, but there was no uneasiness or trepidation.

Everyone could see that she was in a bad condition, soaking wet and shivering, and it was difficult to sit still.

But even in this situation, she still did not show the slightest anxiety and collapse.

This is an era when adults overturn the bucket and the whole family will squat on the side of the road and open the net to suppress the clouds and burst into tears......

How can a child have such strong emotional control?

Wait, why is this scene so visual?

He said, "You ......."

The prompt for the task to be triggered will come shortly.

[Companion Quests have been updated]

[Please accompany the target person for three days to avoid revealing his identity and ensure his safety]

[Note 1: Ends with the third sunrise viewing]

[Note 2: Don't be fooled by appearance, please have a certain amount of respect for the target person, this is an out-and-out adult, but for some reason Luo]

After seeing the hint, Bai Yu instantly understood where this sense of déjà vu came from.

Coat, little girl, smaller......

Although the body has become smaller, the mind is just as smart!

Immediately blurted out.

"I'll go, Gray Plains?"
