The morning of Linxia has a hint of coolness.

Hank leads a dark horse and looks out of the antique shop alley at the mist that fills the lower town.

"Black Wind, my good fellow, it's time to write our saga, how's it going, are you excited?"

The dark horse shook his head and didn't care.

"Yo roar, old man, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm getting cold, isn't that appropriate?"

"Leaving?"

The merchant came from the alley.

Hank: "If you go, you won't be willing to leave." ”

The two stood side by side, and the black horse put the horse's head between the two and rubbed it.

Hank: "Old friend, treat this kid well. ”

Merchant: "I don't need you to teach me, I have my own plans." ”

Hank squinted.

If you really have a plan, you don't need me to mention it, but at least my old friend is trying.

"Alright!" Hank, adjusting his robe, "goodbye old friend, looking forward to our next meeting." ”

Leading the dark horse, Hank begins to leave.

The merchant stayed where he was for a while, as a farewell, and was about to go back to the shop when the voice of the person who had just left came back from the mist.

"By the way, I've heard that a certain enchanter commented that you are a kind and good person, and you like to laugh, tsk, what a lame old friend. ”

The merchant ignored it and walked away without looking back.

......

...

The sky is clear, Hank is whistling and holding his head high, and the black horse is bowing his head and dejected.

Hank: "What's the matter, my good buddy, I'm kind enough to take you out for a walk, to experience the rare freedom and joy, and you still don't look like you're willing, isn't it?"

The black horse sighed again, and after not taking a few steps, he suddenly raised his head, his ears straight, and ran quickly to the side of the road, burying his head low.

Hank's eyes lit up, and he rushed to the shade of the tree in front of him, where a man was enjoying the shade.

Hank: "Aha, long time no see, don't miss me?"

Man: "From Devonburg?"

Hank: "Otherwise, I just came out this morning and went straight to you, I'm sorry enough." ”

Man: "It's pretty fast. ”

Hank: "I'm not in a hurry to see you, so I used a little trick. ”

Man: "The book is fixed?"

Hank's face ached: "How can it, it's still early, don't mention it, my heart aches when I talk about it." ”

The man glanced at the other party's fake expression and said, "Then what are you doing here?"

Hank changed his smile and said, "Didn't you say it, I'm in a hurry to see you, after all, we haven't seen each other for a long time, right, Xiaobai." ”

Man: "Don't call me Xiaobai. ”

Hank touched his chin and teased: "Tut-tut, that's too, after all, you are now a Viscount of a city, and I, an old friend of the former civilians, really have to be a little self-aware, good morning, the commoner Hank greets you, Viscount Kyle." ”

Kyle ignored the other party's yin and yang weirdness, he looked at the dark horse with his head shrunk on the side of the road, and said, "Don't let it be so nervous, I won't eat it again." ”

Hank whistled and signaled to the black horse not to be too restrained and come over to chat in the shade, but the black horse instead shrank his head even lower, almost under the horse's belly.

Hank had no choice but to give up and said, "Don't blame Black Wind, you are a natural nemesis to them, if I hadn't taken it to sneak near your Pegasus City, it is estimated that it would only have bypassed your castle far away." ”

Kyle: "Why did you bring it with you?"

Hank rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming, and Kyle caught this and got up and left with a straight face.

Hank hurriedly stopped: "Hey, hey, where are you going, I haven't even opened my mouth yet." ”

Kyle: "Don't talk about it, I know you have some bad ideas just by looking at the way you look, I'd better go back to my city." ”

Hank stayed still, insisting on keeping Kyle behind, and vowed not to let go no matter how much the other party struggled. In the end, Kyle sighed helplessly and had to sit down.

When Hank saw that the other party was sitting down again, he immediately smiled and said, "I know that Xiaobai is the most righteous, otherwise I wouldn't think of you at the first time if I have anything." ”

Kyle: "Please, please don't think of me in the first place. ”

Hank pursed his lips, his eyes full of anticipation, and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to take shelter from you." ”

Kyle frowned, "Why do you want my protection?"

As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced at the dark horse on the side of the road.

Hank also caught this and said, "Don't you know, otherwise why did I come to you with the Black Wind?"

Kyle said earnestly, "Hank, this is not child's play, and you are the only one, how dangerous it will be, I don't need to tell me." ”

Hank: "Don't worry, just because I can't use the book for the time being doesn't mean I don't have any combat power, even if I don't have any combat power, my ability to escape is still enough, I can just run alone, Black Wind doesn't need to worry at all, it's not that I'm boasting, even if I want to leave now, you can't stop me." ”

He shook his eyebrows as he spoke.

Kyle's expression froze, and the wind suddenly condensed towards them, driving the natural magic of nature to begin to gather rapidly towards them.

Hank smiled, blinked, and disappeared in place.

The dark horse that was left behind paused uneasily.

After a while, a hippie-smiling Hank reappears in place, and Kyle withdraws the large amount of mana he has gathered.

Hank: "Look, I'm not wrong. ”

Kyle: "I'm not serious, either. ”

Seeing that the other party was not convinced, Hank said: "But you really can't keep me, although it will be a little troublesome, but it is true." ”

For a long time, Kyle didn't have anything to say, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Hank: "That is, this shelter...... Is there a play?"

Kyle suddenly asked, "You're not in a stable situation right now, and why don't you let him help?"

Hank smiled, straightened his attitude, and said: "After all, it was the unpleasantness that happened to us before, and I don't want to mention it again and affect him, so my old friend doesn't know about it." ”

Kyle: "I have a hard time imagining you two becoming friends. ”

Hank: "Haha, it's hard for me to imagine, but we actually became friends. ”

The corners of Hank's mouth slowly hooked, as if he recalled interesting things in the past, and there was nostalgia and regret in his eyes.

Kyle glanced at it and said, "Don't take it as an example." ”

Hank jumped on the spot and said happily: "I just said, the people I know, no, among the existences I know, you are the most righteous." ”

Kyle: "I'm alone now. ”

Hank: "Okay, okay, you say you are what you are. ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hands.

Kyle: "What's this for?"

Hank rightly said, "Shelter." ”

Kyle: "You think it's just a random gold coin, just take it out and put it in your hand? ”

Hank felt a warmth in his chest, and pulled open his collar to see a feather-like white pattern on his chest.

"I'm sorry, the first time I saw the real thing, I don't know what it looks like, it made you smile. ”

Hank touched his nose and sat down again.

"Continuing the topic just now, my old friend, don't look at his fake appearance of smiling at human skin, in fact, he is still a good person. ”

Kyle: "So what?"

Hank: "So if there's anything you can ask him to help with, I think he'll agree." ”

Kyle: "I don't need his help, and I thank you for that." ”

Hank stopped: "You're welcome, it's all your own people, don't say these foreign words, speaking of which, I still have a shortage of weapons this time, but I don't know where to get them." ”

Between words, his eyes kept looking.

Kyle ignored the cheeky, shameless guy next to him, squinting his eyes, pondering something.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Hank secretly thought about what other way to regain the other party's attention, but listened to the other party speak first.

"Speaking of which, I've really had a lot of things that I don't feel comfortable about lately. ”

Hank: "What?"

Kyle: "It's been a while now, and I've heard some bad news, and I'm afraid someone will touch it. ”

Hank suddenly realized: "Oh~ This is a big problem. ”

Kyle: "Do you think your old friend will help?"

Hank said confidently: "He is interested in everything he doesn't know, as long as it's about something he doesn't know, then this old friend of mine will definitely participate, even if it's just a little thing, such as Shadow Wolf Mountain before." ”

Kyle: "But he knows about it. ”

Hank: "What's that, wouldn't it be nice to put on a little bit of disguise for the bait." ”

Kyle: "I don't think he's going to take the bait. ”

Hank comforted: "Don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else, in this regard, my old friend will rarely make a fool and will take the bait, and I think it will be more helpful for him to take the bait in the future." ”

Kyle pondered, considering the feasibility of the matter.

Hank continued, "Speaking of which, don't you nobles like to hide behind the scenes and plan things in secret?"

Kyle: "Don't count me in, you mean Devonburg?"

Hank: "Well, Will's kid has a pretty good brain, but he's too arrogant, but it's just right, so we can dump the pot on him." ”

Kyle: "Rarely, you'll have a relationship with the nobles of this empire. ”

Hank: "Speaking of the last name Vir, I actually have more in touch with my old friend than their ancestors, which is why I specifically introduced him to my old friend, and there are some things that should be known to him, so I have to prepare before that, so that my old friend can get used to it in advance. ”

Kyle: "You're not counting on friends?"

Hank shook his head calmly and said, "No, because these things are related to the group of people from the Old God Sect." ”

Kyle's expression instantly became solemn.

Hank: "So it's important to prepare in advance, especially for an old friend of mine, and it's not a small part of the story this time, that's why I'm going to make contact with the nobles." ”

Kyle: "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Hank: "Helping me put down the bait is the biggest help I can do." ”

Kyle nodded earnestly.

"Well, that's perfect!" Hank changed back to his old self, "Don't feel burdened, trust me, it only takes a little temptation for this old friend of mine to take the bait, and then when he passes by, it's up to you how you get in touch with him, as long as you don't directly refuse, it's done." ”

Hank patted Kyle on the shoulder, got up and walked over to the black horse, coaxed for a while, and finally got the black horse to raise his head, and then reassured him and led the black horse away.

Kyle stayed where he was and thought about it for a long time, then he seemed to have a decision before he stood up and patted his pants, and then his figure flashed and disappeared in place.

A white feather fell from the shade of the tree where the two of them were enjoying the shade, and the breeze slowly drifted along the path from which someone came.
