Chapter 11: Voices in Dreams and Expeditions
The sky was faintly bright, and the Blue Devil Moon and the Purple Evil Moon were expelled by the scorching sun in the east, and fell silent at the same time.
The remaining blue and purple qi flowed and tumbled in the atmosphere, but it still couldn't avoid the fate of being melted by the scorching sunβjust like the life on this dark continent, desperately struggling and running, but in the end it couldn't avoid the fate of being hunted.
The scorching sun shining through the black shadows was not dazzling, not even enough to illuminate the darkness under the eaves, but the energy contained in it was extremely violent, with a hint of destruction, and I didn't dare to look at it directly.
Under the scorching sun, a lonely figure flew into the distance, wearing a white robe and a hat, flashing like a phantom.
This phantom is the sky laughing.
He successfully guided Lin Yuqing's sense of qi to awaken, and he also entered an epiphany as he wished.
After doing all this, he couldn't wait to hit the road.
Lin Yuqing has the intention to keep Sky Smile, and after she becomes a mage, she will also go to Chiba City sooner or later, and she is looking forward to going on the road with Sky Smile. But seeing that the other party was really anxious, so he didn't say anything in the end.
After a few hurried thanks, she waved goodbye to this man who was a year younger than herself, feeling a little sad in her heart, and some inexplicable emotions were budding.
But she was a little relieved to think that we would see each other again after all, and that day would not be too far away. The cheeks are slightly red, and the moon is shy and shy to the flowers! Then it is silently looking forward to the day when we will meet again.
It's just that although she guessed the beginning and the end, she didn't guess the vicissitudes of life in the middle - when they met again, the two had already met on a narrow road.
......
......
The sky was dark, the roads were vast, and there was no trace of humanity except for the occasional trade route opened by the caravanserais.
In order to speed up the journey and avoid unnecessary trouble, Sky Smile changed the time of rest and sleep to late at night.
This night, there was a long-lost dream in the sky.
It was a dark world, there was no light at all, it was so black that it seemed to be in thick ink.
Sky laughed and his consciousness was chaotic, and he vaguely heard a voice calling for something......
"Come here......"
"Come over here......"
"I'm here for you......"
Sky smiled and looked around: "Who? Who is talking?"
"It wasn't time yet......"
"It's okay, I'll be patient. β
"Waiting for you to ......"
After saying this, the voice fell silent.
Sky Laughter's consciousness also returned to chaos.
When I woke up the next day, Sky Smile didn't have the slightest reflection of last night's dream.
He peeled off the cover of the cave entrance and continued on his way.
After walking for eight or nine days, I forgot from afar a huge stone city, the walls of which stood tall and square, like a giant beast dormant under the dim sky.
Bluestone Castle is a human city equivalent to Jingye Castle, and it is about two days away from Chiba Castle.
Looking at the sun, it will be dark in about an hour, and the sky smiled and accepted the white robe, planning to change his clothes before entering the city, wash the wind and dust, and wait for it to be dark before going on the road.
After that, there is no need to go out at night, and it has already entered the hinterland of humans, and it is rare to encounter alien races or demon beasts.
Sky smile with identification waist card, no twists and turns into the city, people in the city come and go, labor and selling, all in harmony.
Just when Sky Smile was about to find an inn, he suddenly saw a big man with an inch head flashing by on the corner of the street, and the speed was extremely fast, and ordinary people passing by did not notice it at all.
If Sky Smile is not mistaken, the man seems to be the mage of Dawn as well.
There are only so many mages in Chiba City, even if they don't have a relationship, they have all met each other, unless they are new mages in the past two years.
What made Sky smile and frown slightly was that the inch-headed man looked hurried, and he hurried in the city at any cost, and looked around from time to time, guarding against something, and he was very tight.
Sky smiled and had the heart to inquire about the news of Chiba City, and with a little curiosity, he quietly followed.
The inch-headed man entered the alley, stopped in front of a small courtyard, looked around cautiously, and jumped in.
"Who?" said a woman's cautious voice from inside the courtyard.
"Don't do it, it's me. The voice was a little rough, but the volume was deliberately lowered, obviously an inch-headed man who had just entered.
"What's going on? Didn't you say that you were afraid of breaking the rules and meeting up after sunset? Why did you come now? β
"If we succeed this time, we won't have to come back, and we won't have to worry about the rules here. When Dahan said this, his voice could not hide his excitement.
"You don't have to come back, what's the matter?" the woman was surprised.
"Go in and say. β
"Good. β
Sky smiled closely behind, naturally hearing the conversation between the two clearly, and frowned even deeper.
The 'rules' here - all Sky Laugh can think of are the rules set by the dawn.
What are these two people planning, and why don't they have to worry about the rules of dawn after they succeed?
"Never have to come back?"
Sky Laugh was suddenly startled, these two people shouldn't be trying to betray humans, right?
Or are they simply moles of other intelligent beings?
"No, as soon as I came back, I broke the mole, so coincidentally? Could it be that I have some special attributes?" Sky smiled, his expression was a little weird.
Sky smiled and walked on tiptoe, like a cat's step, cautiously approaching the yard.
He listened intently, made sure that there was no one in the courtyard, unfolded his body, and crossed the courtyard wall like a light smoke, and landed lightly.
"Oops. As soon as he landed, Sky Xiao chuckled in his heart, and there was a mana fluctuation on the ground, which was the cordon set by the other party.
"Who?" The door opened, and the inch-headed man was the first to fly out, followed by a graceful and luxurious woman in palace clothes.
The woman's face was raw, and the sky smiled that she had never seen before.
"Oh no, it's going to be silenced. "The sky is smiling and secretly angry, and it is necessary to use means to resist.
It doesn't matter if you fight or escape, the focus is on making a fuss, as long as you attract the patrol mages of Bluestone City, you will be safe.
"It's you!" The strange thing is that the inch-headed man did not make a move immediately, nor did he mean to break the sky and laugh at the back road.
The palace woman was even more out of state, hiding behind the man, as if she was afraid that the sky smile would be bad for her.
"You know me?" Sky smiled at this, and didn't rush to make a move.
While speaking, his back was close to the wall, and his palm felt it on the wall, there was no mana fluctuation on the wall, and the material was just an ordinary lime wall, which could be broken by a casual slap and could not form a block.
Why, they don't seem to be worried about their escape? Could it be that they have misunderstood? But why should they be so cautious as thieves?
Sky smiled with doubts in his heart, his expression remained unchanged, and he saw what the other party said.
Jia doesn't know who you are, but he has seen you in Chiba City in memory. The mage's memory is almost unforgettable, do you not remember Jia at all?"
The man surnamed Jia stared at the sky from afar and smiled, his expression a little uncertain.
Sky smiled and sighed slightly, I was afraid that I had really misunderstood this matter.
Although the other party was panicked, the panic level was not enough, not like the conspiracy was broken.
Of course, it is also possible that the other party has good emotional control, but then it should be completely impossible to see the panic, or it should be a flash, and then show friendship to yourself and take the opportunity to sneak attack.
"Hehe, Jia Daoyou is polite, I just came back from completing a mission, and I happened to pass by, and I wanted to ask Jia Daoyou if there had been any major incidents in Chiba City in the past two years. Sky laughed and asked.
Although the other party is not a traitor, there is obviously something unsightly, and I don't know if it is related to Chiba City.
The man surnamed Jia was silent on the surface, and secretly recalled in his heart that he had indeed not seen this person in the past two years, and it should be true that he went on a mission.
And the most important thing has not been said yet, and I am not afraid of what others will hear.
"Naturally, there are big things, just half a year after Your Excellency's mission, Dawn organized a large-scale expedition, the target was a certain secret realm, the expedition team only came back a month ago, and there was not one out of ten teams. β
The man surnamed Jia did not hesitate to give advice, anyway, these are all official news, and you can know it when you go out and inquire casually.
"Expedition, Secret Realm, and the team is not one out of ten?" Sky smiled and grasped a few key words.
The Dark Continent is very large, and the range of human knowledge is very small, and expeditions happen from time to time, but the object is a secret realm, and this kind of thing is the first time that the sky has heard of it, and the secret realm is not so common.
"I don't know if Jia Daoyou knows Ye Xiaolian, did she participate in the expedition, did she come back alive?"
Sky smiled and her heart hung in the air, and her friends and relatives were the only ones left Ye Xiaolian, she must not have an accident.
The man surnamed Jia pondered for a moment, as if reminiscing, and then his expression suddenly became a little strange, he looked at the sky and smiled: "Yes, she was lucky to come back alive." β
Sky smiled and her heart slowly fell, she didn't have an accident.
He didn't notice the strange look on the other person's face as he spoke.
After knowing the news, Tianxiao was not interested in exploring the secret of the man surnamed Jia again, said goodbye a few words, and left, and did not rest in Bluestone City, and set off directly to Chiba City.
Sky laughed and bought a scale horse, and after leaving the city, he headed all the way east.
Before coming here, Sky Smile walked in a straight line, mostly wild mountains, inconvenient to ride a horse.
The roads between the cities here extend in all directions, and it is naturally much more convenient to ride a scale horse.
......
......
Two hours later, the blue and purple had met.
Above the endless wilderness, the sky on a scaly horse stopped laughing, and the white robe hunted in the night wind.
He looked at the four black-robed envoys blocking his way in front of him, and asked puzzledly, "Why are you blocking my way?"
The black robe has a sword-shaped print on the collar, and it is the black-robed law enforcement team of Dawn, responsible for transmitting orders from headquarters.
The black-robed old man in the center stepped forward, flipped it with one hand, and a shiny token appeared, showing the sky smile on the front, and said in a dry voice: "On the order of the Dawn Headquarters, the white-robed sky smiled and went to Douxing City to take over the position of the city lord, and suppressed Xiaoxiao for an indefinite time limit. β
Sky Xiao didn't take the order immediately, and this order came a little strangely.
In the dawn, this kind of long-distance mission that is purely for the purpose of suppressing Xiaoxiao and has no real purpose has always been freely accepted, and then it must be once every five years, and once for two years.
I just completed the stationing task of Jingye City, and I haven't handed in the task yet, why did I receive a new stationing task?
And it is also the Douxing City in the far north, where it is almost the edge of the human track, infested by foreign races, and the mages of his own realm are simply useless in that kind of chaotic area, but they are almost overwhelmed by the night town.
There is also an indefinite time limit......
Don't want to go back?
Sky laughs' first reaction: someone is targeting themselves.
Sky Smile was about to question, when suddenly his heart tightened again.
No, why did you meet here?
Not to mention the possibility of coincidence, just looking at the other party's attitude of being ready for battle, and having no wind and dust, it is obvious that he knew that he would pass by here at this time, and then waited for him here no more than an hour earlier.
It is inferred that he has already gotten the news when he appears in Bluestone City, so why don't you tell yourself directly in Bluestone City?
The four black-robed messengers are waiting for them - hehe, it turns out that the one who came is not good.
The moon is dark and the wind is high......
If I don't take over this task today, I can't say that I will have to explain it here.
