Chapter 17: Separate pursuits

Serense finds the nearest Magic Word Pavilion and tells Shuilonu to wait outside. He used the knight's badge to connect the call. Banato's voice came from the other side: "Seren, that guy has resigned!"

"Really?" Seren's voice rose slightly. The reason why he was late before he left was because he received a magic message about this incident.

"The resignation letters have been sent to the Rose Hall, and there will be any leave?" Banatu said, "There are a few resignation maniacs in every Knights, and she is the one in our Order, that Yamosa Ranno!" However, the Holy Shield does not allow him to leave the Order, so resigning is just resigning from his position in the Order, and he is still the one who is still the Holy Shield.

"Calm down, what are we going to do?" Serene asked.

"Of course we have to catch her, get her back! How can a fourth-order knight say that he can run!"

The Knights of the Holy Shield are divided into twelve ranks, the smaller the number, the closer to the center, but not necessarily the authority. The authority in the regiment mainly comes from the actual performance, and the rank is only for the reference of the division of labor, and it is only meaningful to ambitious people like Bannatu. The fourth order is already a high-level knight, and Bannatu is now one order lower than her, but it should be promoted to the fourth order in two months.

"Banato, I think you wanted to arrest her because of a personal vendetta. Serenne said.

"I don't want to hear you remind me of how bad that guy is. 」

"No, I think she's polite. 」

Banato was silent, and Seren, unwilling to imagine his expression.

As everyone's rank rose, the young knights of the Holy Shield began to encounter their own promotion bottlenecks, and naturally began to form factions, gathering around the knights who would continue to rise and have the ability to lead.

At present, it is obvious that there are two factions of young knights who are particularly powerful and have outstanding achievements, one is the Bannatu group, and the other is the Yamosa group. If this development continues, when this generation of knights takes over the center, the first head of the regiment after the change will definitely be selected from these two people.

Bannatu's goal is the first order (regimental commander). So he went straight to Yamosa and asked her to be his deputy. If this can be done, Banatu's head road will be nine out of ten.

As a result, Yamosa said she had to think about it, and then she ran away.

If Yamosa had rejected Banatu in person, Bannatu wouldn't have reacted so much, he hated people who didn't do anything the most!

Elsewhere, Seren could have turned his anger on the other side with "one less adversary", but this is the shield of holiness, and they won't be happy because it's easier to get power.

"Leave Xik alone, go get Yamosa back!" Banatu ordered.

"Okay. 」

Serenne talked to Banato for another five minutes, then came out and said to Schuilonu, "I have to quit, there is a situation in the regiment. To be precise, there was a situation in the "Banato's" regiment.

"Is it serious?"

"It's not serious, it's just in a hurry. 」

"May I ask what happened?"

"No, you can't. The internal rule of the Holy Shield is not to discuss work with outsiders. Selian asked, "Can you go back to the royal capital by yourself?"

There was no need for Serian to ask. Shuilonu said, "If you want me to tour the five cities, you can do it. There you go. 」

"Stay safe. Serenu nodded to Shuilonu and strode away.

Shuilanou waved his hand and turned in the direction of the station to think about what to do. She's not the kind of person who "doesn't go out when she has nothing to do", but the type of person who "has to have a good time when she goes out", and it's not easy to get her to go home directly. So she turned to the bookstore and looked for a local guidebook.

Rick regained his freedom, stretched out in the sun, and thought about where to go next, as he walked towards the crowded neighborhood. As a result, he saw that some of the pedestrians on the road were not people. There was a whole group of young people walking and laughing together, all with tails. A girl sitting on a roadside stall drinking a drink and chatting intimately, with fangs baring her mouth when she speaks. The famous mouth on TV kept spitting letters, and there were ghosts and ghosts floating on their backs. The background of the spokesperson in the advertisement is written in big black letters: Who am I fooling?

His eyes hadn't returned to normal, and the world he saw was like what his magic vision had revealed. He also saw the hangover effect of what was suspected to be Demon Wine, and there was a black narwhal the size of a castle flying in the sky, swallowing black letters that gathered in the air like a swarm of flies as it flew, and there was a long black smoke trailing behind it. Large white clouds surrounded it, as if it were emerging from its skin. Therefore, at the same time, he can only see his head, or his head is hidden, and he can only see his tail, and he can never see the whole picture at the same time.

He really knew it was bad to be curious this time. He shouldn't have drunk Demon Wine, which caused his vision to be more mutated, but he, like all who learn this, always waits until it arrives.

He tried to walk around this crazy scene like a normal person, and he bought a fried chicken from the fast-food chain clerk quite normally. The clerk was a human through and through, both inside and out, and he was reassuring to look normal.

At this time, another customer bought several buckets of fried chicken, and the clerk miscalculated the money at first, and undercounted a lot of money, and the customer was secretly happy, but she was furious when the clerk immediately found out and corrected it. She yelled at the clerk, "Does it cost so much money for such a thing?"

The clerk kept apologizing and emphasizing that the price was like that, but the customer still kept scolding, and a large number of black letters ran out of her hair, filling the store like a tide, and no matter which direction you looked at it, there was a large string of "You were going to give me a bargain, how could you not give it to me? How could you let me down?" As her voice grew louder and her tone sharper, her mouth cracked open in Syck's eyes, opening to her ears, her skin turned bruise-like purple, her hair stood on end, and her fingers became sharper and sharper. Even though he hadn't paid the bill yet, he stuck out his two-meter-long tongue and licked the fried chicken in the bucket.

A man who may have been the foreman came out to apologize and took out a discount coupon to give her the discounted price, and she stopped scolding. But in Xi Ke's eyes, she finally got the benefit of bullying the clerk, and she no longer looked like she had a human form, and she became a long-tongued monster that seemed to be a sarcoma accumulation, and she kept spraying spikes at the storefront.

Rick escaped with his fried chicken.

Frightened, he ran half the street. He knew that there was no shortage of bad guys in humans, but he didn't want to see how much they looked like monsters.

He ran to the park and saw many normal parents taking their children for a walk, paying close attention to their children's condition, and young people who were both physically and mentally healthy playing, and finally felt at ease, but when he turned his head, he saw a man with big, bulging eyes and peeling skin behind the tree. Xi Ke stared at the man for five seconds, and his whole body suddenly collapsed, turning into a black, thick mass with no human form.

Rick pulled his leg and continued to flee.

Without paying attention, he tripped over the roots of the tree and fell straight down. The pain brought him back to his senses. He lay on the ground and reminded himself that no matter how terrifying it seemed and how terrifying the meaning behind it was more terrifying than it looked, he had actually been living in the face of these malices for many years, and they couldn't hurt him.

After regaining his composure, he looked up and saw a carriage about ten meters ahead of him that did not quite match the surrounding scenery.

It was a large carriage that could be used as a hut, almost the size of a container. Rick couldn't tell what material it was made of, and the entire exterior of the carriage had a pearl-like sheen. If you look closely, although the carriage is rectangular, there are no sharp corners, each side is rounded, each corner is rounded, and each side is slightly convex. The carriage itself was pale pink, and the pale blue material that served as glass in the oval windows was indiscernible in what it was, except for the faint hint of gold and black embroidered curtains inside.

On the lower edge of the carriage, near the chassis, a lot of dwarfs are drawn. Each wears a different hat. There are Ataro's hats, as well as the silk hats of Duozhou, as well as all kinds of exotic scarves and round hats...... Hats of various countries and nationalities. The dwarfs are drawn very simply, almost like children's graffiti, but with vivid expressions. The dwarf swings his limbs happily and dances the choreographed steps of his mood.

There is a flower bed on the roof of the carriage, and climbing vines hang down from the top, and they climb on the carriage from front to back, left and right, and bloom purple and yellow trumpet-shaped flowers. The carriage had eight wheels, large and small, and looked like rubber tires used by humans, but the rubber part was golden. The steel ring in the middle is silver metal, but it has a wood texture, except for the outermost ring that touches the rubber is a circle, the spokes are irregularly shaped, and the whole steel ring is like a tree root stretching in all directions.

The horse pulling the cart was not there. A small bright purple lizard with blue lines on its back and a red tail tip lying on the wheels. The lizard wasn't as slender as a regular lizard. Its body is short, severely developed laterally, and appears to be full of muscles, with very thick limbs.

If there had been such a carriage here, Rick should have seen it before he fell, but he didn't remember such a striking carriage in his field of vision.

Rick got up and approached the carriage with his neck a little shrunch. A woman who was only waist-tall stepped out of the side door.

She wore a simple long dress that was almost in the style of the early years of the country, and she didn't even change a little. A round face, round eyes, a round bun tied on the head, the hair is jewel-blue blue, the eyes are golden, the small lips are plump, and the skin looks hazy and smooth, like the visual effect of those actresses in the magazine after playing the so-called "apple light". Her eyes are extraordinarily large, proportional to her entire face and a little larger than those of a human with bigger eyes.

She noticed that Rick was watching her, and took a step back in surprise, covering her mouth with her little hand. Then he immediately took a step forward, still covering his mouth, and with his other hand half-raised, he stretched out an index finger, as if he wanted to point at Xike but not at Xike, and stopped halfway.

Then she turned and rushed into the carriage, where she heard a fairy shout from inside, "Hey, Ah, an unblessed human has seen me!"

Another person replied, "Ami, don't be too surprised, you've just met a child with a higher level of understanding, and this kind of thing is common. 」

"That's not a child, it's an adult!"

"Well, it doesn't happen very often these days. In the past, there were many such adult humans. 」

Out of the carriage came another short, female, who looked very similar. Xi Ke speculated that she was Ah San. Her face is slightly thinner than the first woman, and the edges and corners are more pronounced, but only a little, and the whole face is still round.

She looked up at Rick, met Seal's eyes, and said, "He's a mage. The mages of Sarafaydo were not blessed by us. She turned to the carriage and shouted, "Have you forgotten that we have crossed the border?"

She took two steps towards the carriage, then turned her head, stared at Rick's face with a slight frown, and then strode over to Rick, looking up and asking Rick, "What's wrong with you?"

Xi Ke quickly rubbed his face: "It's okay!"

"Say it's okay, don't you want to escape this place and hide for a while until you're ready to come back?" Ash shook his head, then tilted his neck back. She spoke to Rick in a tone as if Rick was just a child.

Rick obediently replied that it would be best if he could see those monsters: "Yes. 」

"Then get in the car. We specialize in taking care of people like you. Ah Sa took two steps to the carriage, and when he saw that Rick had not followed, he turned back to him and beckoned to him, "Come along!"

Finding that he couldn't refuse Ah San, just as he couldn't refuse the food that his elders had given him, he obediently followed.

Ah Sa sat in the driver's seat and pointed to the empty seat next to her for Xi Ke to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, he put two fingers in his mouth and whistled, and the lizard on the wheels jumped into the middle of the wheels, and quickly grew in size, until they fit into the saddle that connected the wheels, and by this time it was the size of a small truck.

The lizard climbed two steps forward, and the car was dragged by it. There was no road in front of the woods, and the lizard climbed a few more steps, and suddenly climbed up the sky as if it had climbed a steep slope that did not exist, and the whole carriage flew off the ground with it.
