Joey has been in a good mood lately.

He cautiously looked at the staircase behind him, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sleeping?" In front of Joey was a small wooden door, which could be seen that the door had not been cleaned for many years, and the dust that fell on it made the door a little dark, and the simple iron doorknob was a little loose because of the time, and it seemed that the doorknob could fall off with a pull.

Joey didn't knock on the door, but knocked on the wall next to the door, the knock was a little loud, maybe the mother downstairs could hear, Joey was a little satisfied with his intelligence, the atmosphere was a little nervous at the moment seemed to make his hearing better, after a while, he clearly heard someone inside the door seemed to be turning over on the bed, and there was a subtle "squeak" sound that made people a little sore.

A smile slowly appeared on Joey's face, he didn't say anything, he opened the door gently, the door was really low, Joey's figure was a little fat, he opened the door very carefully, and slowly moved in, as soon as Joey entered the house, he skillfully closed the door behind him, and this action barely made any sound.

Joey smiled silently, wiping the beads of sweat that were oozing from his head.

The room behind the wooden door also seemed to match the wooden door, low enough to only allow one person to stand, which is also the fact that Joey is only sixteen years old this year, probably because he is too fat, so he has not grown taller, but despite this, Joey can almost feel his hair rubbing against the roof of this hut.

This room is just an attic, and it is impossible for ordinary people to live here.

There was no light in the room, but the moonlight from a small square window could be faintly seen in the room, and the arrangement was really not enough, but there was nothing in the attic that could be called a table that was improvised with wooden planks, and a narrow and small spring bed, which was already very small, but still occupied almost all the ends of the attic, and in the moonlight, it was clear that there was still uncleaned ash on the ground.

There was a person curled up on the spring bed, the man was not covered with a quilt, he was wearing a black short-sleeved cloth shirt, and a pair of white cloth shorts on the lower body, which could be seen from the exposed legs.

Joey walked over to the bed, took out a small bench from under the table, and sat on it.

The person on the bed heard the sound and sat up too, with an ordinary and simple face, his eyes half-closed and half-open, as if he hadn't woken up.

Joey was already accustomed to his appearance, and he didn't say anything, he took out two steamed buns wrapped in cloth from his arms and handed them over, and then began to whisper what happened today, and said that he was happy, and inevitably had some eyebrows dancing and became elated, and whenever this time, the person sitting on the edge of the bed would gently remind him to be quiet, so as not to be discovered.

The two of them had a tacit understanding, one kept talking, while the other just listened quietly.

Since returning from the shore of Qinghe, it has been nearly half a year, Luo Mu returned to Hurlis and left shortly, he came to the south of Corvo with the refugees during the war after leaving the city, the war that Igniz brought to Corvo is not small, but it is like the most brilliant glimpse of the sky, fleeting, and the march route of the funeral army from the north to the south, all the way to Hurlis, all the way to the city before the funeral army, including the three major lines of defense all broken, but the funeral army does not know whether it is because of speed, or for what reason, it did not affect any point around, which also made Corvo recover much faster than normal after the war。

The battle that nearly wiped out Corvo was like the prelude to a grand dance drama.

At the same time, because the Halix Empire, which was also on the Asian continent, did not have any reason to expand, and because Corvo's almost annihilation was so fast that it was short-lived, and did not leave any other great power time to react, Corvo quickly stabilized the situation after the war, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

And Helis is in the center of Corvo, the fall of the major cities in the north also means that the south of Corvo has almost not been affected in any way, most of the refugees have returned to the place where they used to live and began post-war reconstruction, and some refugees have simply gone south under Stephanie's arrangement, and Luo Mu is in Cyrenaica at the moment is a third-order city that is not big or small, and this city has also accepted some refugees.

As the dust of the war settled, Corvo finally showed its ability to execute as a superpower, Empress Stephanie issued a series of extremely effective measures by Hellis, and the entire empire was back in operation, and one of these measures is the census, there are a large number of orphans among the refugees, and Corvo attaches great importance to education, so Stephanie learned of this situation, called on the people of the whole country to take in these orphans and provide them with food and lodging, the implementation of this measure was not so smooth, many families did not want such a burden, but Stephanie showed her toughness in this matterWith the cooperation of the city governments, the opposition finally weakened, and at the same time, all the refugees were resettled very well.

If each family adopts a refugee child, they will receive a monthly grant of 300 krila, which is the key to Luo Mu's stability in the family.

Of course, the imprint brought by the war cannot be erased just like this, the most profound imprint is that the Corvo rebels led by Biban and Yalves curled up outside the northern walls of Wilhos after the defeat of Ignaiz, occupying a large part of the country, but now they are extremely quiet, Corvo seems to have completely forgotten them, quietly doing post-war reconstruction work, both sides maintain a great tacit understanding, but no one knows that the two sides will eventually have an extremely tragic battle.

Luo Mu slowly ate the steamed bun in his hand, while listening to Joey talk about what happened at school today, Joey is a little fat man, and there are a few inconspicuous freckles on his face, unlike the north, families in the south have always only wanted one child, so most of the children in the south of Corvo are relatively lonely, and it is a great surprise for them to have a playmate of the same age who lives at home.

Luo Mu's bowl of rice is the least in the dinner every day, Joey doesn't know where he came from, he actually noticed this, but he didn't dare to disobey his parents' arrangement, so he would go out every night and use his pocket money to buy two steamed buns to bring to Luo Mu, and what Luo Mu needed to pay was to listen to Joey quietly tell the story of what happened today.

Joey enjoys the feeling, as if he is finally free from the shackles of his parents and has his own little secret, although saving two steamed buns a day is also a big expense for him, but he still enjoys it.

Just when Joey was talking happily, a woman's shout suddenly came from downstairs, "Joey, where have you been again!" Joey was so frightened that he shook violently on the stool, and then flattened his mouth a little unsatisfied, and then hurriedly stood up and whispered to Luo Mu, "No, Brother Mu, I was found again, I'll go down first."

Luo Mu swallowed the last mouthful of steamed buns in his mouth, nodded, Joey ran to the door and opened the door, chrysalis moved his fat figure again, and drilled out of the small door, his body just went out, but he poked his head back, and said to Luo Mu who was sitting on the bed "See you tomorrow night" Luo Mu nodded slightly in the dark, Joey smiled again, and then closed the door.

With Luo Mu's sensitive five senses, he could clearly hear Joey trying to lift his breath, but he still ran to his room on the second floor with some heavy steps, and after gently closing the door, he opened it very loudly, pretending to be sleepy-eyed and walked out of his room, and said to his mother downstairs as he walked, "I'm tired of studying, so I'll lie down for a while."

The angry female voice downstairs didn't listen to Joey's explanation and scolded, "Sleep, are you going to sleep when you're done with your homework?"

Luo Mu listened for a while, and after confirming that Joey was not scolded again, he sat cross-legged on the bed, Luo Mu's eyes had completely healed with Quinn's help, and he couldn't see anything unusual at all, Luo Mu's hair could be seen to have not been trimmed for a long time, and it had grown slightly obscuring his eyes.

Luo Mu looked out the window slightly, the small air window in the square was only the size of two palms, and he couldn't see the moon at all, Luo Mu glanced at it and withdrew his eyes, closed his eyes, and sank into his body.

Luo Mu's soul pattern was forcibly repaired by Quinn at the cost of all his vitality, and he completed the "Thorn Seal" soul pattern that was rare for 10,000 years, at this moment, with Luo Mu's thoughts, on the slender arm exposed, a piece of auspicious clouds floated, the auspicious clouds were really lifelike, as if the wind would float to the sky, the waves at the shoulder ridge also seemed to be fluctuating, and the quaint new day at the vest also exuded a slight light, everything looked very beautiful, but Luo Mu was not happy at all.

Because the cultivation method that Quinn taught him didn't work at all, he couldn't even feel the familiar heat flow belonging to the dark matter in his body at all, when Luo Mu carried out the soul initiation ceremony, a large amount of wind attribute soul power was condensed in his body, and finally made the dark matter and the wind attribute soul power basically blend, and these two powers finally ended with the mutation of wind attribute soul power and the reluctance to merge with the dark matter, and Luo Mu knew that Quinn must be like this, and his strange fire attribute soul power must be the same as Luo Mu's situation, so there was no problem with the cultivation method that Quinn taught Luo Mu。

But now the situation is different, after Luo Mu's original remnant soul was forcibly repaired by Quinn, Luo Mu's soul power in his body was completely lost, and even the dark matter was completely depleted, and the power in Luo Mu's body was completely pushed down by Quinn, and at the moment when Quinn repaired Luo Mu's soul pattern, a huge change occurred in Luo Mu's body, and the dark matter and wind attribute soul power were completely fused together, not just intertwined and intertwined as before, but completely fused together, producing an unheard of strange soul power, which not only has a sense of control over space by dark matter, but also has the breath of wind。

And this strange soul power made Luo Mu, who had not received any orthodox soul master training at all, confused, he was now unable to obtain dark matter in the space as before, and even after annihilating the undead, he could only obtain the memory of the undead, and at the same time, Luo Mu didn't know anything about the cultivation method of wind attribute soul power, so a year had passed, although Luo Mu even had a soul pattern at the level of a thorn seal, his soul power still did not increase.

All he could rely on now was the strong physique he had honed for him in the beginning, and the fighting skills Igniz had trained for him day and night.

Luo Mu felt the changes in his body and carefully searched for the traces of the hot flow, but the result was obvious, Luo Mu still found nothing.

Luo Mu let out a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed again, although this bed was so small that he couldn't even turn over, but after the age of ten, this was the first time Luo Mu could sleep unsuspectingly, and this alone had already made him extremely greedy for this bed.

Luo Mu faced the wall, a mist gradually rose in his hand, a long knife with a dark scabbard appeared in his hand from the mist, the scattered cloud-like gauntlet seemed to be the name of the knife, Luo Mu stared at the knife, there was finally a rare mood swing in his eyes, Luo Mu's chest lit up slightly, the blue-gray horse head came out of Luo Mu's chest, Gray looked at the cloud cutting long knife, tilted his head, and stretched out his tongue to lick Luo Mu's face, Luo Mu could even feel the steamed bun residue on the gray tongue that had not yet eaten quietly, the two steamed buns every night seemed to be eaten by Luo Mu, but in fact, they all went into the gray stomach。

Luo Mu turned over, curled up on the other side of the bed, turned his head slightly, and could see a small number of stars from the small air window, Luo Mu knew that he had to become stronger, because only by becoming stronger, he could wake up the sleeping girl in the knife, he wanted to become stronger, only by becoming stronger, he could go to the ten thousand feet deep underground, and personally let the person who made the world look like this bowed his head.

Although, he didn't know where all this should start, and he didn't even know if it was all feasible, but Luo Mu was not confused, just like a person walking in the night, although he didn't know what time it was, but he knew that one day, the sky would dawn.

It's time to go to bed now, Luo Mu thought, there will be class tomorrow.

Thinking of class, Luo Mu suddenly became confused.
