"Hey, Luo, I heard that you were abused last night?" said with a smirk in the fierce battle.

"Yes," Bai Yu struggled to flick away the sword swung by the acolyte, and responded, "They're very powerful. ”

Bang –

Bai Yu flicked the attacking knife away again, he failed to kill a single acolyte, but only tried his best to drag the enemies around him, and his physical strength gradually weakened.

"The first time you were able to fight against two acolytes alone, you are also quite powerful. The red shadow turned, and the red spear breath formed a qi blade and flew out, "What happened to the aftermath?

"Dead. Bai Yu replied.

"You killed it?"

"No, it's V. ”

"Oh, then he's taking care of you. ”

"Hmm. ”

The two fought hard with the acolytes while talking, and the acolytes beside them gradually decreased.

"Looks like I'm underestimating you. The two knives struck, and the black-robed acolyte said in a low voice.

"The growth rate of the shadow guard is not what you can imagine. Wei responded to him, and the red jade cutting knife in his hand darkened, and flicked away the knife of the black-robed squire.

"Haha, interesting. The black-robed acolyte retreated a few steps, and suddenly stuck the knife in his hand into the ground, and the acolyte who was fighting against Bai Yu on the side also stopped.

I saw the black-robed acolyte with his hands together, the corners of his mouth moved, and a blue light suddenly spread out from his side, and the acolyte who had been knocked to the ground stood up again at this time, surrounding Bai Yu and the three of them.

Bai Yu and the three of them gathered together, standing back to back, and when they saw the sight in front of them, Wei clenched the red jade cut with both hands, and the red light flashed. Su's red shadow still had the blood of the acolyte who had been knocked down before, and the blood left along the red shadow, staining Su's hands red.

When the battle stopped, fatigue began to set in, and all three of them began to gasp.

"Have you seen this posture before? Su asked, apparently asking the guard.

"Nope. Wei responded that although he was familiar with the acolyte, this was the first time he had encountered this kind of scene that brought the fallen acolyte back to life.

"Then what should I do next?" Bai Yu asked, among the three, only he was the best, Wei Hesu's strength should be no problem to protect himself, but he was still just a newcomer to the waste wood, and he might become a burden to the two.

"Act on the opportunia. Wei said slowly.

Outside the circle, the black-robed acolyte approached the three step by step, the bandages on his body exuded a dim blue light, if there is anything to describe, the black-robed acolyte at this time is like a mummy who has just crawled out of the coffin, but he is very alive now.

"Your performance has indeed exceeded my expectations," said the black-robed acolyte, "and it seems that you have not grown much in two hundred years. ”

"Actually, we just joined yesterday. Wei said lightly.

"This makes me look at you very much, and it is not for nothing that yesterday's plan failed. The black-robed acolyte didn't go any further, but waved his hand, and the acolytes surrounding Bai Yu and the three instantly rushed up.

When the three of them saw this, they couldn't think about it too much, so they could only leave their tiredness behind.

The sound of the blade clash sounded again, and the acolyte glowing with blue light seemed to have become much stronger than before, which was undoubtedly an extremely unfavorable situation for the three people who had already consumed most of their physical strength.

The light of the red jade cut gradually dimmed, the red shadow in Su's hand also slowed down, Bai Yu was already exhausted, and at this time, his right wrist hurt very inappropriately, after all, he still couldn't really defeat it.

"Wei, you're moving too slowly. After struggling to knock down an acolyte, Su teased at the guard.

"What qualifications do you have to talk about me, you black-faced guy, I'm afraid you're almost out of your hand. Wei replied mockingly.

"These acolytes can't die," Su's tone was already laborious, "I finally fell, and after a while I got up again." ”

Bai Yu just listened to the two of them laughing at each other, and he had no strength to speak again.

Outside the circle, the black-robed acolyte whispered, as if he was silently reciting a spell, the blue light on his body flashed, and the acolyte in front of him fell down again and again, and stood up again and again.

"I say, won't you capture the thief and capture the king first?" Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from outside the circle.

The wind suddenly rose, and a long knife flew over with frost qi and hit the black-robed acolyte spirit hard, the black-robed acolyte fell to the ground in response, and the acolyte spirits surrounding Bai Yu and the three also fell.

The three of them looked behind them, the man was wearing a white shirt, the mask on his face was pale in the moonlight, and on his right hand, the white jade long knife shone with a radiant light.

White Mask V——。

This is the first time the three of them have seen a white-faced level shadow guard make a move.

V walked up, ignoring Bai Yu and the others, and walked straight to the black-robed acolyte. At this time, the black-robed acolyte was covered with layers of frost, and the frost also froze his frightened look.

V pulled out the knife and took the long knife into his hand, the cold air on the blade became thicker and thicker, and the white cold breath swirled around V's hand.

The V of White Face, the only person in the Shadow Guard who holds two swords, Cold Blade-Frost, Moon Blade-Arashi, the Lord of Frost Lan, the strongest combat power of the Shadow Guard.

V turned around, looked at the tired three, and said, "The first trial, overall good, but, Luo, you let me down a little. ”

"......" Bai Yu didn't speak, and he could hear V's tone with dissatisfaction, he thought that he could already control the black waiter, but when he held the black waiter tightly, the chill always invaded him.

"You two go back first, Luo and I stay. V said lightly, and the white light immediately dispersed, enveloping Wei and Su.

The two left the barrier, and V immediately walked towards Bai Yu and stuck Shuanglan on the ground, followed by the two knives gradually disappearing.

"I can't...... Always protect you. V said, taking off his mask.

Bai Yu's heart was shocked, V said very plainly, but the flat tone seemed to be mixed with sadness, as if the brother who was about to die held his brother's hand and said, Brother can no longer protect you, you have to be strong. Yes, all along, although he has only joined the shadow guard for less than a few days, V has been protecting Bai Yu like a big brother, but the elder brother can't always protect the younger brother after all, the best protection is actually to let the younger brother have the courage to grow up. When you grow up to be able to take charge on your own, you also have to protect your brother.

"I'm sorry......" Bai Yu said in a weak voice and trembling.

The white light flashed, the moonlight dissipated, and the nearby scene returned to the previous rain curtain.

......

After coming out of the enchantment, Bai Yu and V went to the snack street in front of the train station again, ordered something, and the two sat opposite each other.

On such a cold and wet rainy day, the table full of hot food is really appetizing.

"V, how many acolytes have you killed all the time?" was eating, Bai Yu suddenly asked.

"A lot. V replied.

"Then do you remember their names?" Bai Yu asked again, since he started to meet the acolyte last night, he didn't know who the other party was or what it was called, but he started a war as soon as he met, and there was no reason, whether the acolyte and the shadow guard had always been like this, and he couldn't help but want to get rid of the other party.

"I don't remember. V said lightly, under the frost, how many souls are there?

"Then why do the shadow guards and the acolytes want to kill each other? The acolytes want to kill the acolytes when they see the acolytes, and the shadow guards can't help but want to erase each other when they see the acolytes, how many years have you been fighting like this?"

V, who was eating heavily, was stunned, but he didn't expect Bai Yu to ask such a question, V paused, and his confused expression flashed.

"To protect," V put down his chopsticks, "one day, you'll have something or someone you want to protect." Shadow Guard, in fact, is a lonely expedition. ”

V's face was expressionless, and the heat of food rose between the two of them, wafting away.

"But I, I don't have the power to protect others, why do you want to find me. Bai Yu whispered that the person who wanted to protect him at that time had left.

"Because you're lonely," V said, "Shadow Guard, after all, it's a place where a group of lonely children huddle together to keep warm, and only loneliness can make people strong." When you become stronger, you don't need me to protect you anymore, you have to learn to protect others, those you love, the so-called 'guardians of the night', that's what they are. It is precisely because there are people who want to protect, certain things that they want to protect, that the shadow guards will do their best to prevent the acolytes from happening, so that the tragedy will not happen again. ”

V's words are filled with sadness, as if a person who has gone through vicissitudes tells a story that he does not want to look back.

Speaking of which, Bai Yu has indeed been lonely, and only in the three years that have just passed, he has really felt happy.

"Then you ...... Is it lonely?" Bai Yu asked again.

"Lonely, lonely for two hundred years......" V picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat.

Bai Yu didn't speak again, lowered his head, and continued to eat.

......

Anzhuang, Paston.

"So, is our lonely little knight shaken?" On the sofa, the man with a long ponytail was leisurely drinking coffee, "Now, Shiro, do you have someone to protect?"

"I don't remember....... Bai on the side took off his glasses and leaned back on the sofa chair with his head tilted, "Do you know about V?"

"I know, before that, there was no name for 'Lord of Frost Lan' in the Shadow Guard, Cold Blade-Frost, Moon Blade-Lan, one was V's weapon, and the other was originally Z's saber. ”

“Z？”

"V's own brother was later killed in a mission, and the survivors only brought back the moon blade. ”

"And then?"

"Later, of course, V took revenge, and one person killed thousands of acolytes, and the 'Lord of Frost' became famous from then on. But...... You'd never want to see him holding the cold blade in both hands. ”

"The shadow guards are really a group of lonely guardians. After listening to the story of the ponytail man, Shiro put his glasses on again.

"It's almost time to start, Qingjun, and the Dark Moon in his hand. The ponytail man said.

"Did it appear?" Shiro still tilted his head back, his eyes staring at the ceiling intently.

"Right here, call V back. ”

"Hmm. Shiro closed his eyes, and vague distant memories came to mind.

Those gentle three years are the cradle of young people's happiness......
