Chapter 1: The Small Town Beggar

The Dark Continent is a cage prison, also known as the Dark Prison, where all life is prisoners who are imprisoned.

Between the sun and the continent here, there is a layer of eternal darkness, and the life on the continent seems to be under the asshole of a monster, depressed and frightened.

This is not a good land, but a continent full of dangers and dangers.

This continent is home to countless intelligent races: monsters, elves, demons, and all kinds of xenomorphs and humanoids.

The killing and war between each other are going on every day, just like eating and drinking, and there is no need for a reason, life and death are separated when they meet, just like the world of Gu worms.

Terrans are very weak and at the bottom of the food chain of intelligent life.

At the same time, there is also a natural enemy of human beings on this continent - demons.

Demons are semi-intelligent beings born of desire, they act purely for the sake of desire, and they like to eat the internal organs of other beings.

Humans have the freshest flesh, so they are the favorite predators of demons.

Jingye City is a large human gathering point, where nearly 10,000 human beings live, and there are about 4,000 small towns based on Jingye City, named after spring, summer, autumn and winter.

......

......

Autumn Breeze Town.

The originally silent streets were boiling with people, crowds of people, all of them looking excited, looking into the distance, as if they were expecting something.

"What the are you doing, why are you running away from the wind?"

"me, you should hurry up...... Miss Lin is at the end of the semester, and she is going to return to her hometown, and everyone is waiting for the color. ”

"Miss Lin, could it be that three years ago, she was chosen by the divine envoy to go to the city to enroll?"

"Isn't she! Why do you say that our mayor is so good, and his daughter is lucky enough to go to the city to study. It's really a good ancestral tomb. ”

"Oh, it's her, then I've got to get a good spot quickly. You said that we people have no chance to get out of this city if we die, and now we have to take the opportunity to touch the popularity of this city. ”

"Who's to say it's not...... Eh, me, look, look, isn't that a convoy coming to our town?"

On the distant horizon, a convoy of hundreds of people was like an ant colony, unhurried towards the town.

"Coming, coming......"

In the expectation of everyone, the convoy walked to the avenue in front of the town, and a murderous atmosphere could be felt from afar, which suppressed the noise of everyone in Autumn Wind Town.

Suddenly, a sharp bell sounded in the convoy, tinkling and ding, like a wave of air echoing on the plain, making people tremble for a while.

If it were an ordinary beast, it would have scared away.

Then, a team of more than ten vehicles and horses separated and walked along the fork in the road towards Qiufeng Town.

Obviously, this is the convoy of 'Miss Lin' in everyone's mouth.

The convoy of 'Miss Lin' drove under the city wall, and a white-haired old woman helped a bright girl in white to get out of the carriage!

"The little girl has seen all the villagers, and she has been saying goodbye for three years, and she is late to return to her hometown today, which is polite. ”

The girl in white is twenty-eight years old, her appearance is exquisite, her beautiful eyes are flashing, her hands are saluting, her expression is smiling lightly, her actions are up to the point, she is not pretentious, and she is not a shy pheasant, she is generous and generous, and she has the demeanor of everyone's ladies.

"Oh, it's worthy of being a person who has stayed in the upper city, this temperament is just ...... different. ”

"Isn't it? You see, these country boys are a little shorter than her......."

The girl's generous greeting provoked everyone's applause. Many women secretly speculate in their hearts that if their cubs can marry such a daughter-in-law, it will be a good family.

"Haha, Yuqing, why don't you come over and let Daddy take a look. Out of the crowd was a middle-aged man, plump and proud, it was Lin Zhen, the mayor of Autumn Wind Town.

"Dad!" The girl who was called Yuqing looked happy, ran over happily, and knelt on the spot and bowed three times!

The etiquette is a bit heavy, and it is not the etiquette of the female stream, but after all, the girl has been out for many years and returns, which is different from the custom of 'the female stream does not go out of the deep wall', which is a matter of facts.

"Okay, good!" Lin Zhen picked up his daughter, his face becoming more and more happy.

After a few more pleasantries, the motorcade entered the town.

Seeing the high wall, the woman who was watching from afar immediately surrounded her, embraced Lin Yuqing in the middle, and kept asking questions, her expression was as happy as if she saw her own daughter.

"Huh?" Lin Yuqing, who was greeting her left and right, suddenly stopped, looked through the gap in the crowd, and looked at the side of the street, with a hint of surprise on her expression.

As she looked, it was a little beggar in tattered clothes.

The little beggar leaned alone against the corner, wearing a broken straw hat, with the edge lowered to cover his face, unable to see his expression.

He lay motionless, the noise of the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"Dad, how can we still have poor beggars in Qiufeng Town? You are the mayor of the town, don't you want to help find a job to do?" Lin Yuqing pulled Lin Zhen's arm and said with some coquettishness.

Lin Zhen glanced at the beggar, his originally happy eyes seemed to have rubbed a grain of sand, and his expression was slightly heavy: "Qing'er, you don't know, it's not that Dad doesn't help him, but he's the person...... Hey, you can see it at a glance. ”

Lin Yuqing thought to herself, could it be that this person has some disability in his limbs, or that his IQ is not good!

So he reluctantly said: "This is Daddy's fault, if he has any difficulties, we should help him." In the past three years of my daughter's study, my husband has warned us more than once that we human beings are a vulnerable group on this continent, and if we want to survive, we must unite as one, not abandon the weak, and leave no ...... old and young."

Lin Zhen let his daughter complain, and didn't answer, just shook his head helplessly.

The crowd on the side couldn't help it, and interjected angrily: "Miss Lin, this is your misunderstanding of the town elder." It's not that we don't help him, but this man can't get on the wall......"

"Oh?" Lin Yuqing stopped nagging, and a trace of puzzlement flashed in her beautiful eyes, why did everyone say this.

She approached the beggar, crouched down, and said, "Hey, what's your name?"

The little beggar didn't react for a while, and didn't seem to hear.

"Isn't this person deaf or dumb?" Lin Yuqing thought about it in her heart, leaned back, and took off the beggar's straw hat with her bare hands.

I saw a young man's face less than eighteen revealed under the broken straw hat, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep.

Although the young man was in tatters, his face was unusually delicate and handsome, his temples were green and silky, not only did he not have a trace of beggar's embarrassment, but he had the dusty temperament of a noble son.

Lin Yuqing suddenly saw the young man's face, and her beautiful eyes were also a little sluggish, and she seemed to be 'amazed'.

The two of them are quite close, and if you take a big breath, you can smell each other's spitting out of the orchid. If the little beggar is sloppy and pitiful, Lin Yuqing's compassion is important, but it's nothing. At this time, smelling the other party's manly breath, his face suddenly turned red and his heart trembled slightly.

Seeing that the young man was sleeping soundly again, everyone stomped their feet angrily: "Sleep, sleep, sleep, you know sleep in a day, and living is really a waste of food ......." ”

Lin Yuqing was awakened, hurriedly retreated, lowered her head slightly, covered her hot cheeks, and stood up with something strange in her heart.

She couldn't understand why everyone was so angry, and looked at Lin Zhen with beautiful eyes: "Daddy, what's going on?"

The flush on her face had dissipated.

Lin Zhen sighed lightly, and said with a slightly reminiscent expression: "This person suddenly came to the town two years ago, and then he sat here begging. At first, the neighbors also thought that he was ill and tried to help him and find him an easy job, but this man did not receive anything at all, and sat here begging all day with nothing to do. Later, we found out that this man's body was not harmed at all, and he was purely lazy......"

Lin Zhen was full of hatred for iron and steel.

"Ah, how can this person ......" Lin Yuqing's beautiful eyes showed disbelief.

The living conditions in the Dark Continent are extremely difficult, and human beings are struggling hard every day in order to survive. The word 'lazy' has not been heard by Lin Yuqing for a long time.

Everyone interjected again: "Miss Lin, don't pay attention to this person, just let him rot to death here." ”

"Such a person is not as good as a dog...... ”

"Who says it's not, this kind of person should be thrown out and let the demons outside eat it. ”

Lin Zhen sighed again, not wanting his daughter to have too much to do with such a person.

"Qing'er, let's go, my father has exhausted all the ways he can think of, this person is hopeless. If he is not given food for one day, he will be hungry for one day, and if he is not given food for three days, he will be hungry for three days...... We don't have to find work to do when we die, and we can only let it be like this. The neighbors would occasionally give him a steamed bun, but he didn't really starve to death. ”

Lin Yuqing had studied in Shangcheng for three years, and she understood better than everyone in Autumn Wind Town what a price humans had paid in order to continue their race on this continent. Countless warriors die every day in wars against demons and other races!

Every day is built on the blood of these warriors.

But someone trampled on a good life like this, Lin Yuqing was more angry than anyone in Autumn Wind Town.

Lin Yuqing's face darkened, she struggled out of her father's arm, and walked to the young man angrily.

She kicked the broken bowl in front of her, as if trying to wake the other party up, but perhaps because she was excited and used too much force, the bowl rubbed directly against the beggar boy.

The boy was startled and woke up from his stupor.

I saw him rub his eyes, and there was a strange blue in his eyes.

The boy yawned, his eyes swept around him with a somewhat dazed gaze, and then locked on the bright girl who was glaring at him in front of him.

Chapter 2: The Mage Sky Laughs

"Birds, beasts, insects, and fish are still thinking about progress, but you only wait for food every day, are you worthy of your parents and compatriots?"

The boy had just woken up, and he had never seen the girl in front of him, and he suddenly heard these brainless words, and his expression was ignorant.

Seeing this, Lin Yuqing only pretended to be stupid and stunned, and even more confirmed the name of 'incurable', and he was angry.

"For the survival of human beings on this continent, how many predecessors have paid for their lives, but in exchange for you to live so reliably, don't you have a little shame?"

The young man's clear eyes stared at the girl in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't speak.

Then, he picked up the straw hat on the ground, covered his face again, and leaned back again, with a posture of 'none of his business to hang high'.

Lin Yuqing didn't expect that when she talked about this, the young man was still indifferent, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet.

"You, you, people like you, you are not even as good as demons!"

Demons are the natural enemies of human beings, and they are also the objects of human hatred, and in the eyes of human beings, snakes, insects, rats and ants are higher than demons.

Lin Yuqing insulted the young man like this, obviously so angry that his thoughts were confused.

Lin Zhen couldn't stand it anymore, and dissuaded his daughter: "Qing'er, let's go, you can't be angry with this kind of person just after you come back." ”

"Yes, Miss Lin, you have a noble status, don't worry about this kind of person......"

"Don't be spoiled by this kind of popularity"

Everyone finally persuaded Lin Yuqing, who was furious, to leave the scene.

Before leaving, there were still a few people who were angry, and they spat a few mouthfuls at the young beggar, but they didn't really spit on their bodies, but on the floor next to them.

......

......

One of the reasons why the Dark Prison continent is cruel is that in the twelve hours of the Dark Prison's full day, the night is twice as long as the day.

Eight hours of darkness provided a perfect stage for the cruelty of this world.

Humans have always followed the law of early and late rest, and are never allowed to touch the night, not even to make loud noises or light up at night, because the night here belongs entirely to the hunter's world.

There are two moons at night in the Dark Continent, so the night here is not too dark, it is still dark and gloomy.

Darkness and gloom are the true face of the Dark Continent.

Demon beasts, fierce beasts, dark elves, demons, and alien humans on the continent...... In short, most of the life, except humans, will open their strange eyes from their slumber when the moon rises, and then begin their eternal game, becoming hunters, or becoming prey.

In order to ensure the continuation of the bloodline and race, human beings have to completely withdraw from the night stage.

......

......

Today's night in Autumn Wind Town didn't come too late because of everyone's joyful atmosphere.

Just when the villagers were closed to the door, no one noticed that the young man on the street opened his bewitching blue eyes, changed his decadent demeanor during the day, and showed a burst of light in his eyes.

That's right, the boy is different from ordinary humans, he abides by the laws of the Dark Continent hunters.

Although he is human, he lives in the night, he is a hunter in the night, and occasionally becomes a prey.

The boy disappeared after sneaking into the shadow of the corner, and when he reappeared, he was behind an inconspicuous corner tower on the walls of the town.

He looked out into the sky, where blue and purple were converging, as if two vats of dyes of different colors were mixed together, quite spectacular.

The young man thought to himself in his heart: "The great opportunity to absorb the vitality of Tianyin cannot be missed. “

The moon in the Dark Continent is blue and purple, called the Blue Devil Moon and the Purple Moon, and when they rise, they will release a stream of Heavenly Yin Purple Qi and Heavenly Yin Blue Qi.

If you can inhale this purple or blue qi, you can not only exercise the mana in your body and make it more refined, but also make your eyes clear, so that you can reach your vision as far as the moonlight can reach.

Blue and purple are the weapons that the Dark Continent bestows on all life, in order to make the game of hunting even more boiling.

The young man sat cross-legged, his hands pulling from side to side, calming the mana around him, and then he stretched out his hand and grabbed it towards the void.

I saw a touch of blue like smoke slowly drifting towards the young man, and the young man opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing most of the blue.

After a while, the young man finished refining the blue qi, only to feel refreshed and full of energy.

This is a means of nourishing one's body with qi, which is why teenagers don't need to eat too much food. In fact, cultivators like them rarely eat whole grains, and there are too many impurities in them, which are not suitable for cultivation.

The boy stretched out his hands again, grabbed the remaining blue qi, and wiped it on his eyes.

With the integration of blue qi, the young man's eyes ignited with blue flames, strange and bewitching.

After the blue fire fell silent, the boy's eyes were like a carved blue gem, shining in the darkness.

At this moment, the young man seemed to feel something, his expression froze, and his eyes suddenly looked to the side.

A black-robed man flashed out of the shadows and bowed to the young man: "My subordinates have seen the city lord. The two-year deadline for you to guard Jingye Castle has expired, and the 'Dawn' headquarters of Chiba City has sent a new white-robed holy envoy to take over, please go to the Castle Lord's Mansion to hand over the task. ”

Humans are weak, but there is a group of people who are very strong, and this kind of people are called mages.

To become a mage, you first need to awaken the sense of qi, and 'qi' represents the energy of nature, and the blue heavenly yin vitality that the boy just inhaled is also a kind of natural energy.

Only by first sensing the energy in nature, and then inhaling it into the body through the cultivation method, and refining it into mana, can you become a true mage.

The ability to awaken qi is innate, like a qualification that cannot be cultivated.

There are very few people who have the qualification of awakening qi, and under normal circumstances, only one person out of 100,000 ordinary people has such a qualification.

On the Dark Continent, there is a huge organization that gathers all human mages, and its name is 'Dawn', which means 'to guide humanity in the darkness to the future of dawn'.

'Dawn' gathers almost all the peak combat power of the human race, and is the greatest capital for the human race to survive on the Dark Continent.

'Dawn' sent mages to guard the towns and become lords, and these mages were known as white-robed messengers among the people.

Although the black robe is more convenient in the dark night, the white robe symbolizes 'the fangs of humanity against the rest of the intelligent beings in the Dark Continent'. Only when the fangs are exposed can the enemy not easily attack the 'fur'.

The white-robed holy envoy is also called the divine envoy among the people.

Three years ago, Lin Yuqing was recommended by the previous generation of white-robed divine envoys of Jingye City, so that he had the opportunity to study in Chiba City, which is known as the 'Upper City'.

The reason why Chiba Castle is called Upper Castle is mainly because Chiba Castle has the headquarters of 'Dawn'.

And the blue-eyed boy in front of him is named Sky Smile, he was detected at the age of eleven to have the qualification to awaken qi, and at the age of twelve he successfully awakened, and then was cultivated by 'Dawn', and later became a mage at the headquarters of Chiba City.

At the age of fifteen, Sky Laugh was sent to Jingye City to guard this place.

Now two years have passed, and Sky Smile's mission is finally complete, and he is seventeen years old.

After hearing this, Sky smiled and muttered with a moving expression: "Is the time of two years finally up?"

"Yes, after tonight, you can go back to the Chiba headquarters. Before that, ask the city lord to complete the task handover. ”

Tianxiao stood up, pulled out a white windbreaker and draped it on his body, and said with a relaxed expression: "You go and tell the new envoy that everything in Jingye City is the same as before, what it was like two years ago, and what it is now, there is nothing that needs to be handed over." I'll leave on my own after dawn. ”

The man in black hesitated a little and said, "City Lord, since you took office, you have never stayed in the City Lord's Mansion once, is it ...... tonight?"

Sky Smile interrupted him and said: "The extravagant life in the City Lord's Mansion is not suitable for warriors who survive in the dark, where will it only make my fangs duller and duller, only the life at the bottom can sharpen my fangs." Moreover, Autumn Wind Town is the only gap in the defense line, as long as there is no news of the collapse of the defense line on the other sides, guarding in Autumn Wind Town is the best way to prevent sudden stories. ”

"Yes, the subordinates understood, and retired. There was a hint of admiration on the face of the man in black.

In the past, the city lords were not arrogant, and they had to be superior to others in eating, drinking, traveling, and living, and it seemed that only in this way could they show their unique identity.

A city lord as simple and enterprising as the young man in front of him has never met him.

Only such a warrior is qualified to be called the last hope of mankind and can lead mankind to the true future.

"Wait!" Sky smiled and stopped the man in black who was about to leave, and continued, "Did you find that thing?"

The man in black understood, shook his head and said, "My subordinates have asked all the caravans in the past, and they have asked people to look for them, but they have found nothing. His subordinates bluntly said that there don't seem to be the kind of flowers on this continent that adults say. ”

What Sky Laugh is looking for is a flower.

That kind of flower must be there, because the sky has seen it, and the kind of flower in my memory is very ordinary and can be seen everywhere, but why can't I find it now?

"Let's go," Sky sighed with a smile.

"The subordinates retired. The man in black bowed, and a few flickeres disappeared into the shadows.

The sky smiled at the darkness in the distance, and there was a look of nostalgia on his face: "Xiaolian, wait one more night, and I'll be back tomorrow." ”

Ye Xiaolian and Sky Smile are the same age, and the two became mages at the same time.

Ye Xiaolian was very timid, afraid of both blood and the dark, and during that time, Sky Smile was very withdrawn, and the two supported each other by chance and successfully survived many disasters.

The two teamed up many times to participate in the battle against demons and monsters, and gradually cultivated feelings and became each other's only reliance.

Two years ago, when the two parted, they finally made a private agreement for life.

Jun thinks about the concubine every night, and the concubine looks forward to the return of the king day and night.

......

......

Sky smiled and indulged in happy memories, and suddenly his face changed drastically, and he suddenly turned around and looked at the opposite corner of the town.

Lost his voice and said, "Demon?"
