(The awakening of the wind vortex)
1. Yogurt Huckleberry did not hand over the Whirlpool Stone after all, but went to hell with its whereabouts.
Early this morning, after Hong Ren learned the news from Bo Ren, he immediately ordered his subordinates to spread rumors that Yug was poisoned by Filsa of the Extreme Ice because of his betrayal. The former destroyed the Wind Vortex Stone until he died and ceased to exist.
It was already everyone's acquiescence that Yug betrayed Firsa.
With such incitement, the heroes will definitely focus all their hatred on Firsa.
Once he is killed, the truth will be silenced forever, and the fact that the Midnight Slayer failed will also be silenced, and the king cannot blame him.
However, even so, their colleagues cannot return.
Although he wanted to use the help of heroes to get rid of Filsa, Red Blade still hoped that he could personally avenge his colleagues.
So this midnight he did not rest, but led an elite team to sweep across the grassland.
Calculating the prey, the two of them have not yet recovered their physical strength and magic power after yesterday's battle with the sequel, and they will definitely not be able to face the battle in a full state;
Furthermore, they definitely wouldn't stay where they were, and they probably wouldn't escape the same way.
So the only escape route is directly towards the grassland.
Judging from Filsa's injured state, the prey would never go far. Red Blade is confident that he can take it down before dawn.
So there was a scene where the two sides chased each other and crossed the cliff.
2. This is a dream.
She dreamed of resting in a wooden house. The surrounding atmosphere was very peaceful, without the bloody storm in Xingli Continent.
The sound of children playing could be heard outside the window. Everything was very peaceful, not just before a storm, but real peace.
She got out of bed to dress and found no wounds on her body. I feel peaceful inside, without the turbulent emotions of the past. At this time, someone knocked on the door, and then a woman came in.
The long red hair is divided into several sections and draped over her shoulders, and the green eyes under the sea are very unique and charming. The woman brought breakfast and greeted her companions who had just woken up with a sweet smile.
"Haha, you always get up so late."
"Good morning, Sister Shirley."
She didn't dare to face Shirley directly and lowered her head to straighten her buttons. She suddenly remembered another companion, so she ran out of the room and looked around.
The house is not big, and the view is unobstructed. Except for not looking upstairs, there was no trace of him downstairs. She was confused and uneasy, but she didn't dare to ask. After all... she felt guilty.
Shirley picked up the coat hanging on the wall, handed it to her who was standing blankly by the door, and said casually: "There is something important at the guild, and he went out early in the morning."
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Today next month will be your wedding. I'm really looking forward to it."
She was excited, raised her head and looked at the cheerful Shirley in front of her in surprise, "What did you say? Who and whom?"
Shirley laughed loudly and said, "Of course it's you and Filsa."
"How is that possible?" In just a moment, her cheeks were already red.
Seeing her shy look, Shirley giggled and said, "Isn't it already promised? I sewed this dress for you with my own hands! Come on, wear it and show it to Filsa tonight. "
"But...you are not with him..."
"I'm just his assistant, don't think too much. Come on, wear it through!"
Looking carefully, Shirley was holding a dark red dress in her hand. It matches my blond hair very well, and I can picture myself in a dress just in my mind.
Just imagining it this way is already very satisfying.
This is a dream. Jie Lu ꔷ Snow understands clearly. Even though it was a dream, she didn't want to wake up.
I hope this dream can last another month until that night. Since it cannot be realized in reality, at least it must be a small foolish dream. Who would know this?
As she prayed so intensely, the dream in front of her began to blur and dissolve. Shirley disappeared.
The house disappeared. The sound disappeared. Even the dress that was held tightly in his hands disappeared.
She found that she had trouble breathing.
The clearer Jielu becomes that this is a dream, the closer she is to waking up from the dream. No one can escape this truth. The severe pain on her back finally brought her back to reality.
As soon as Jielu woke up, she found herself lying prone on the bed. She tried her best to raise her head, but the injury on her back prevented her from making any big movements.
It is already daytime. He was in a tent. The sun is isolated from the canvas, but its warmth can still be felt.
His companions have been waiting for him for a long time. Although you can't see his eyes, you can already tell by looking at his face that he hasn't rested all night.
"You're awake."
"Um……"
At this time, the sun suddenly shined on Jielu's face, and it turned out that someone opened the door curtain. The visitor squatted down and walked in. She was a woman wearing pure white clothes. What was strange was that her skin color was a wheat color that had been exposed to the sun for a long time, which was exactly the opposite of the fair skin of Jielu.
After crossing the cliff, Filsa kept escaping. By chance, he encountered a nomadic group in the grassland not long after that, so he asked for rescue of the injured.
They would stop nearby for a day or two, promising to receive the two strangers. Until now, a kind-hearted woman among them has carefully bandaged Jielu's wounds so that she can rest in the tent.
Jielu recalled her recent experience and immediately urged: "Don't worry about me, go back to Amethyst immediately to find..."
Filsa shook his head slightly and interrupted, "Now that you know the clues, there's no need to be in such a hurry. You rest first."
"But……"
"Be good, lie down first." His tone was unquestionable, because he knew that as long as he was firmer, his companions would not have any objections.
But Jielu knew very well that Filsa was very restless inside. He had always been like this, but he didn't take it seriously on the surface.
"Sorry...there's another delay."
"You were hurt because of me. I should be the one to say sorry." Filsa held her hand tightly.
Although Jielu could still feel the pain of the wound, she didn't feel sad. She deliberately pulled her companion's hand closer so that she could rub her face against it.
This was her most peaceful moment. She remembered the dream she had just had, which was the deepest secret in her heart.
Her companion was wearing silk gloves, but she could still feel his warmth. She continued to close her eyes and listened to the soft conversation between her companion and the woman.
"You and her seem to be very close."
"Well, that's right. She saved me in a critical situation not long ago and was injured for it."
"Don't say that again." Jielu quietly interjected.
I only heard the woman sigh, and then said this: "No one in our tribe will completely trust anyone, and no one will risk their lives to save anyone, except for the husband and wife of course... You two That’s really good.”
It seemed that the people who were helping him and his companions were an indifferent group.
Jielu could also hear the envy in her words.
This woman who helps herself seems to be younger than Jielu.
"It's just that our habits are different from yours. The customs and habits of each place will be different."
The companion answered vaguely to avoid possible embarrassment.
Jielu listened to the conversation between the two, and her consciousness gradually fell into sleep.
The women began to tell stories about their own tribe. The sound is as sweet as a ballad. They have been living a wandering life, traveling all over the grasslands, claiming to be wanderers outside the Great Wall, even though this grassland still belongs to Xingli.
Although everyone is from the same clan, each of them lives an independent life without relying on anyone else, living for himself and dying for himself.
But one thing is that only couples in the ethnic group are interdependent.
Only by establishing a blood relationship can people get close. This is the habit of the nomadic group, because they have always lived an erratic life. The amount of prey they harvest depends on the mood of God. They are wary of others, suspicious of others, and sometimes have to face wild wolves and monsters that suddenly attack at night.
They have experienced this so much that they can no longer settle down in their hearts, so they can only stay like this.
"That is to say, only husband and wife can depend on each other for life and death, right?"
This woman is still young, has not yet been infected by the "habits" of the ethnic group, and is still innocent. She asked, wanting to confirm whether her idea was correct. If it were someone from her own clan, she would definitely laugh at her for being too naive.
Philza nodded affirmatively.
"Yes...yes...just like you two, we are a couple. I'm so envious." She smiled happily after confirming.
Filsa was silent for a second this time, and finally nodded. Jielu was awakened by these words and buried her red face in the pillow, not wanting to be seen.
"My name is Euler."
"My...name is Filsa. This is my companion, called Jielu." He was sure that Euler was not a subordinate of King Augusten and would not harm him, so he gave his name.
"Companion...meaning...wife?"
"..." They did do something that only a couple can do last night.
To her comfort, her companion did not deny this fact.
She had the illusion that she was in a dream, "Today next month will be your wedding..." This sentence still sounds sweet to her ears.
But……
Today is the reality. Reality - How will Shirley react when she discovers their relationship? In addition to anger, there will definitely be sadness.
Jielu decided to keep this secret no matter what.
Filsa must have decided the same way.
3. The herbs provided by the nomads for knife wounds are very effective, and with the addition of healing magic, Jielu has been able to move her arms without hindrance.
But seeing this, the nomads who rescued them began to become as snobbish as businessmen.
All in all, he just wanted to exchange his refined medicine for a sum of money.
Nomads are also greedy for money. They are eager to eat and drink in the city, and they want to settle down and get rid of their wandering life.
Filsa used all the gold coins he had in exchange for herbal medicine, but could only buy five or six packs.
In fact, when traveling abroad, money is an external possession, and medicine is something more precious than money.
For several days. That night, Jielu had already picked up her knife and continued to practice. She was thinking that if she didn't move for a few days, even if the knife didn't get rusty, she would get rusty, so she took advantage of the night to practice.
Euler is not a person who practices martial arts and does not understand these insights. Instead, she was worried that the injury on her back would leave scars. A scar would definitely look unsightly under her fair skin.
Jielu showed a shy smile and said it didn't matter.
"But... wouldn't you be able to wear a backless evening dress? Just like the ones sold in the city, they are very beautiful!"
"The dress doesn't have to show your back."
Dress...Jielu thought of her dream not long ago. This is a secret that only she knows, and after all, it is just a dream. She shook her head, raised the knife, and continued to assume the posture of drawing the knife.
Filsa was leaning against the tree at the moment. Although he couldn't see it, based on his magic touch, he could tell that Jielu was standing still and concentrating heavily. This is the basis for practicing swordsmanship.
Euler was not interested in martial arts at all and told Filsa that he had prepared a tent for them and put the repaired clothes inside. She left shortly after.
Jielu thought to herself that they would sleep together again tonight.
I wonder how many more opportunities there will be like this in the future? Cherish it.
"Hey, you're distracted."
She suddenly came back to her senses. Indeed, he was standing in a pre-drawing posture, but he was thinking about other things.
She regretted a little and became distracted without realizing it. It seemed that she had indeed slept too much in the past few days. Filsa's magic touch is also very sensitive. While aware of the movement in the outside world, he can also accurately capture the breathing of the people around him;
You can also judge whether the other party is in a state based on other subtle movements.
"That's it for tonight. We'll be leaving early tomorrow morning."
Jielu hummed, sheathed the knife, "Let's say goodbye to Ola tomorrow morning."
Philsa nodded in agreement. He and Jielu walked to the tent that belonged to them and checked for any leaks. The wind is a bit strong tonight, so you must not catch a cold due to this. Jielu had already gotten in and lit the lamp. He felt the warmth of the oil lamp.
Tonight, it was just like that time, they slept together with their backs leaning against each other - but Jielu turned around on the pretext of not touching the wound.
"I can't see. I want to ask you something."
"explain."
"You haven't put on makeup?"
"You can't see it."
"But others will see it."
"There's not much difference." Jielu muttered.
"Does Sister Shirley often put on makeup?"
After hearing this, Filsa smiled and said, "He is a weirdo who refuses to go out without makeup."
Jie Lu met Shirley and was impressed by her red hair, blue eyes and sweet smile.
That's why Shirley's smile clearly appeared in the dream.
The two of them stopped talking in unison. Both of them guessed that the other was thinking about the same thing, and they must have felt the same way.
The first one to speak was Jielu: She whispered: "Never let her know about my relationship with you, not even at all."
Filsa also turned around at this time, facing her companion, nodded, and then kissed her forehead gently.
Even though he agreed, he still felt very uneasy inside. Could this really be hidden? Shirley is considerate and thoughtful, and is good at detecting small details - such as tiny flaws.
Even for Filsa, few things could be hidden from her eyes in the past.
Shirley's blue eyes were so clear that she seemed to be able to see into other people's hearts.
4. Filsa heard rapid footsteps approaching, and finally stopped in front of the tent. He stood up quietly, but his movements still woke Jielu up. Ola opened the door curtain and urged the two of them breathlessly.
"What's going on?" Filsa guessed something.
Euler asked them to leave as soon as possible. I don't know who in the clan is so sensitive to the news, and has already received the rumors spread by the Midnight Slayer.
Most of them are snobbish, and they all covet the prey that cannot be let go. They all feel that if they hand over Felsa and Jielu to the Midnight Slayer, they will definitely get more money than they have.
He didn't expect that he would become enemies tonight after being rescued by them just a few days ago. In order to avoid conflict with them, Firsa listened to Euler and left as soon as possible. Fortunately, he did not have much luggage and could leave immediately.
"Here are a few doses of wound medicine. I secretly got it. I hope it will last until Jielu recovers."
Jielu thanked her profusely, and Firsa nodded, expressing her gratitude and saying that she could leave immediately.
Ola also returned to the group, pretending to have just discovered that the two were missing.
The two of them moved away from the place where they originally pitched their tent and headed for their destination.
"Is this direction...to return to Amethyst?"
"Yes..." Firsa confirmed and explained: "We can't run too far, and we can't let Yug wait any longer, otherwise he will wait for the Midnight Slayer first. We have to be the first to meet him, and Be prepared to fully fight against the Midnight Slayer."
The legion secretly hired by the Midnight Slayer for King Xingli has caused them both to suffer several losses so far.
Not long ago, Philsa used demon blood to challenge one of their members named "Continuing Blade" and buried him under the ice blade.
Just a few days ago, the two of them were chased by a mercenary boss and managed to escape after crossing the cliff. "Midnight Slayer" is as sharp as a hound and pursues him closely. They not only used their own soldiers, but also used rumors to incite others to assist them.
Jielu recalled the scene of Firsa's decisive battle with the Blade that day. Not only did he kill the enemy with his sword, but he also stabbed the corpse with several ice spears;
Not only that, he ran rampant in mid-air for a long time until his teacher appeared in uniform. If Mr. St. Faith had not appeared at that time, Jielu would probably not be able to stop him even if he was in full strength.
She had never seen her companions so crazy. Filsa went berserk, which can be said to be a kind of white and cold terror.
"Please don't go berserk again in the future. I'm afraid that no one can make you stop except Mr. Saint Faith." Jielu whispered.
Philsa remained silent and did not respond. It was really hard for him to control himself sometimes. “When we have no choice but to do so, we must break the situation and gain a chance to survive.”
"Then you have to promise me not to use it unless absolutely necessary."
Demon Blood Rage is not a martial skill, and there is no need to use it. Philza nodded anyway.
Talking while running would consume more energy, so the two of them stopped driving away and their destination was Amethyst Town.
The two finally walked back to their original route. Even if they were predicted by the enemy, even if it was not Yug but the enemy waiting in the amethyst, they had to go back.
The two met the cliff again and recalled the chase battle with the enemy that day. But this time there are no enemies, and there is no chasing. You only need to consume a little magic power and leap over.
In fact, enemies will be welcomed at any time at this moment - in addition to the Midnight Slayer, there are also monsters that haunt the night;
Therefore, at this time, equal emphasis must be placed on magic power and physical strength.
After crossing the cliff, the two started walking again.
Another sleepless dawn. Until now, the town’s mineral vein is within easy reach. Felsa and Jielu once appeared in the town and started a fight. I am afraid they will not be welcomed by the residents of the town. So the two put on their cloaks again, hiding their identities and continuing to get closer.
The most popular place in the town is the tavern, but that place is now in ruins.
So I had to go to a crowded place like a hotel.
"Just ask if there is a lake in this town."
Looking back, the two of them had never seen a lakeside at all when they visited Amethyst, let alone a simple lakeside residence.
Jielu was a little afraid of the tramps. After all, they were all unknown characters. Last time, the tramps let herself and her companions fall into a trap.
She walked into the hotel anxiously and found that it was filled with miners who were drinking. It turned out that the tavern was destroyed, so they moved here to drink and have fun.
Firsa waited outside for good news. When he was bored, he released his magic touch to sense the things around him, including the people coming and going.
Fortunately, no dangerous smell has been detected yet.
The residents of the town, as always, cast a cold eye on outsiders.
Although Filza could not see it, he could feel the indifference of passers-by towards strangers. But that's fine, he doesn't need any extra care.
The familiar breath came back, Jielu took Filsa's hand and walked straight in one direction, while explaining:
"Lake...it turns out that there is actually a lake to the west of the town. But this is not important. What is important is that there is indeed a woman living by the lake. I pretended to be interested, and the uncles told me everything when they were happy. Got it!"
Filsa chuckled, "Sure enough, you are so attractive even without makeup."
Jielu deliberately ignored his joke, tightened his hand and quickened her pace, and continued: "The person living by the lake is a female crystallizer - just as you guessed! Well, let's not talk about it, there is someone following her nearby. Are you here?" she asked cautiously.
"No, don't worry."
"Weren't you always being watched by your teacher before, and you didn't even know it? Humph."
"That's also...be careful anyway." Filsa felt strange, why did she suddenly become so articulate?
Is it because there is no one else nearby at the moment? She doesn't talk much on weekdays, even if it's to herself, she only says a few words.
Jielu also felt strange - why didn't Filsa refute? He usually refuses to admit defeat.
The two of them thought this way and soon arrived at the west side of Amethyst Town. The moonlight reflects in the lake, making the waves sparkling.
There is a bridge built in front of it, shining with silver light. Jielu thought it was made of amethyst, but when she got closer and took a closer look, she found that it was made of crystalline silk. It was very strong and there was no difference between it and Yug's skills.
Touching it carefully, you were surprised to find exquisite patterns carved on it. Due to the darkness of the night, Jielu could not see where the other side of the bridge led.
"There is a hut opposite. There are people there too." Filsa used his magic touch to explore the surrounding environment, which ranged beyond the lake, and felt that there was a hut on the other side.
After the two took off their hoodies and crossed the bridge, Jielu found a woman opening the door and leaving the house. When she saw the visitor in the middle of the night, she was startled at first, but then she looked calm.
Although she did not see their clear appearance, she seemed to have guessed who the visitor was, and she still had an idea in her heart.
The three of them faced each other, but nothing was said for a moment. Jielu looked at the female crystallizer carefully. She had oriental features in appearance, especially the long black hair. Her clothes are also very simple, which matches her face and looks beautiful under the moonlight.
Jielu and Filsa both turned down their hoodies.
"With white hair and an eyepatch...is it Filza of the Extreme Ice? Then this...blonde hair, red eyes, and black clothes...is Miss Jielu Snow. It is indeed the two of you! I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
But then she became suspicious, "Can you first take out the things that Master left for you and show them to me?"
Jielu guessed that the so-called thing Yug left for the two of them might be the crystallized thread. So he took it out of the inner bag and carefully handed it to the woman. She took a closer look, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked cheerful.
The female crystallizer introduced herself, her single name was Qi, and she was the disciple Yug took in a few years ago. She knew all the details and explained the details of the night when Jielu was attacked, while letting them go into the house to rest.
"Master has always felt guilty for failing to protect Miss Jielu and allowing her to be attacked by the Midnight Slayer. In fact, I had been secretly in contact with Master before that and decided to meet up that night, but the situation changed suddenly many times that night.
First, Miss Jielu was attacked by a woman from behind. The master forced her to show up and they fought for a long time without a winner. Until then, I arrived and joined forces with the master.
Seeing that she was at a disadvantage two against one, the woman planned to escape, but before leaving, she left these words:
"Do you remember Liuli?" The master was shocked. The master immediately decided that he had to leave immediately to find this woman. "
Qi made two cups of black tea and handed them to the two guests. The East is rich in fragrant tea, and the fragrance wafts inside and outside the hut.
She continued: "There is no choice. Master is determined that it is impossible to hand over your wind vortex stone, so he ordered me to bring the wind vortex stone back here. And he left clues in Miss Jielu's hairband. I hope you two It can be discovered as early as possible.”
Qi remembered the master's instructions, saying that Firsa was very concerned about the stone and it must be kept properly without any damage.
"Excuse me, do you know whose name "Liu Li" is...? "
"I don't know if I should tell you..."
"Yug is our companion." Filsa replied decisively.
Qi was speechless for a few seconds. "Let's not talk about it for now. Master has two things that he wants me to hand over to you. He said... he might not be able to wait until you come back, so he asked me to hand them over to you, and I must hand them over to you."
Pray for a crystalline thread to open a strange silver lock.
Filsa quietly used his magic touch to detect the lock, and found that it was made of crystalline silk, as strong as gold. Qi did not notice his movement and calmly took out the things entrusted by Master from the box.
The first thing is that without waiting for her explanation, Filsa was the first to feel the power of the overflowing wind vortex.
Although it is weaker than before, it still exists. By now, he was already moved. Qi held the stone carefully and solemnly handed it back to Firsa.
This weight... is not only the weight of the Wind Vortex Stone, but also the weight of Shirley's soul. Now it is safely back in its own hands.
This also means that what Midnight Slayer said - the so-called betrayal, the so-called suspicion, the so-called trust, the so-called companions - cannot be summed up in one word, they are all despicable ways to sow discord.
Qi took out the second thing - she knew that Filsa couldn't see the words on it, so she handed it to Jielu.
"This is a scroll that records how to fix the soul on the doll and "resurrect" it. Of course, Master has already prepared the puppet!
Although the master had already prepared these and could use the forbidden technique at any time, he still didn't want to mess around without Firsa's consent. "
In fact, Qi knew another reason why Master didn't dare to mess around.
"Master has a warning. No one can guarantee that this resurrection will go smoothly. Even if it succeeds, we don't know what the consequences will be."
"I know. He has warned me many times." Filsa chuckled to hide his inner nervousness.
He has made up his mind, and when he reaches this point, he cannot look back. He can only keep going, otherwise all his previous efforts will be in vain. "I have a request. Please take me to the place where the doll is placed as soon as possible. I want to complete it as soon as possible."
Qi nodded, and then said "hmm" to express his agreement: "Master has already told me that as soon as you arrive, I will take you two to the ritual altar under the lake. Follow me."
Qi opened a wooden board in the corner of the hut, revealing a secret passage. With her taking the lead, the three of them headed down one after another.
Once the three of them had completely entered the tunnel, she lit the oil lamp. White light illuminates the surroundings. This is a secret passage that has been dug for a long time. According to the direction, it does lead to the bottom of the lake.
As they walked further in, the cold air of the lake came through the stone wall. Jielu unknowingly held onto her companion's hand, although his hand was equally cold.
Jielu discovered that all Qi's props were made of crystallized silk.
Whether it was the bridge across the lake, the lock used on the box, or the oil lamp in her hand now, all of them were made by the hands of prayer.
She lamented that her craftsmanship was exquisite and she might surpass her master Yug in the future. She guessed that Yug was proficient in using crystallized silk to fight, while Qi was proficient in crafts, and they had different directions.
Then why did Qi become a disciple of Yug?
Oh, by the way, Yuge is also good at making puppets. This alone is enough to attract the girl's attention. If Jielu knew Yuge's experience, she would know that she was not wrong.
Filsa was nervous and was about to enter the final step.
Resurrection Ritual - Once successful, Shirley will... come back to you. As for the future matters, we will wait until later to resolve them slowly.
Although it was not a resurrection in the true sense, as long as she could come back, she would be satisfied.
"Um...excuse me...I actually want to ask..." It was Qi who spoke. She whispered softly, not daring to speak loudly.
"You don't need to be so polite. Yug's companions are also our companions." Jielu's words made her relax.
"I would like to ask Master... did he mention me when he was with you?"
"This..." Jielu seemed to have never heard Yuge mention that he had a disciple?
He also kept complaining that women were annoying.
"Yes." Filsa replied without hesitation.
Jielu was a little surprised, but after all, Firsa and Yuge were also old acquaintances. "Yuge often drinks with me, and one time he mentioned that he actually has a disciple. Since then, he has often praised you, which is quite helpful."
"That's not the case..."
Jielu has guessed Qi's thoughts. She may have always been in love with her master. There is no express prohibition on master-disciple falling in love in Xingli Continent;
Even in the place where Jielu used to be, this habit has become normal. The sect she used to belong to had a rule that apprentices must marry.
She thought of her past, and a surge of nervousness hit her heart. She clenched her companion's hand, and at the same time, she unconsciously clenched the sword "Guren" at her waist.
"What's wrong with you?" Filsa asked when he noticed that his companion was holding him quietly and seemed a little nervous.
"Nothing, just keep walking."
Qi, who was leading the way, didn't notice the slight movement behind him. He thought about his affairs with his master and sighed.
"I also want to be like you two, we can travel to various places together and see all kinds of interesting things."
"I don't think Yuge will be unwilling. After all, he has always been alone."
"But Master, he has never been able to let go of another person." After Qi said this, he paused, stopped and turned around, "That girl named Liuli."
Both of them were slightly surprised, although they had already guessed that "Liu Li" was a personal name.
"Two girls. I didn't expect Yug to have such a skill." Filsa joked.
"Aren't you the same?" Jielu thought, but in the end she didn't say anything.
She saw that Qi had turned around and continued to lead the way for the two of them.
It seems that we are almost reaching the end of the secret passage—and also the end of this journey.
"I don't want to see Master in pain for Liuli anymore. So I want to follow him and take good care of him."
Filsa agreed, "He does need companions like you to take care of him. Fools tend to ignore the people around them who care about him the most until he loses them."
"Speaking of you, that's not the case!" Jielu thought to herself.
Firsa didn't realize what she was thinking and continued chatting. For some reason, he suddenly started talking more:
"Your master is very strategic. He arranged such a plan and deceived the eyes and ears of the mercenaries. Next time... next time we meet, I will put in a good word for you. You have indeed helped us a lot. Yes, thank you very much.”
"Don't be so polite. Master's friends are also my friends!"
Qi finally told the story between her master and the girl named Liuli, and explained that the purpose of Yug's meeting with the Midnight Slayer was to kill the demonized Liuli, and not to sacrifice any treasure as rumored.
"Sure enough. It's true. I understand." Filsa seemed to have other meanings.
Jielu was also curious. He seemed to understand not only what Qi said, but also something else?
After the conversation in the secret passage ended, the three finally arrived at their destination. Firsa felt the magical barrier as soon as he entered.
This is an "altar" - the name was proposed by Yug on a whim. In fact, it is a secret base for two people. There are many tools scattered around, including chisels, knives and other carving utensils.
Qi walked to a mirror next to the stone platform and watched. She didn't seem to be looking in the mirror. Later, Jielu discovered that the mirror was also made of crystal silk, and she could clearly see the movement outside the hut. It turned out to be a surveillance prop.
"There are amethyst lamps around, seven in total. The lights are not very bright, but they are enough for lighting. There is a stone platform in the center, and there seems to be a person lying on it? No, no, it should be the puppet prepared by Yug. ?" Jielu described everything she saw to Filsa in detail.
He nodded after listening. "Please show me what the doll looks like."
Jie Lu asked Qi Fang if it was not convenient for him to go over and observe. The latter said, "The ceremony hasn't started yet, so there's no problem!"
So she walked in and looked at it carefully, and the appearance of Shirley in her dream came to her mind. The doll is indeed made of crystallized silk, and it seems that Inuya had a hand in making it, so it is very detailed.
She grasped the doll's arms, which were as soft as a real human body, and even pinched the skeleton;
Not only that, even the tiny joints and fingers are the same as the real body. The doll also wears pure white gauze clothing. Under such dim light, ordinary people would probably have an illusion when looking from a distance.
"The face only has an outline, and the hair is white." Jielu described truthfully to Filsa.
"After all, Master and I have never seen her in person, so we can only make a rough appearance. But Master said it doesn't matter. As long as the soul is injected into it, the body of the doll will change and be reshaped into the way she was during her lifetime. "
Jielu sighed that this was really amazing, but later thought that this was a rumored taboo technique after all.
Then Qi explained: "After all, it is a doll, not a flesh and blood body... so the weight may be only half of that of an ordinary person... Master and I can't change this. I hope she won't feel uncomfortable with this."
"Is she underweight? That might be a good thing for her. Shirley is used to using wind magic and pursues speed and agility."
"Is that so? That's great!" Qi was also happy about this, and Jielu could see that she was kind-hearted.
It's really incredible that Yug can capture the heart of such a girl.
Next comes preparation for the ceremony. Ask Jielu to open the scroll, carefully read the steps recorded in the book, and remember the magic spell to be cast at each step. Every step must not be wrong, and every spell must be missing.
First, the soul must be refined into a solution state. The first step is to use Qi's ability. Her crystallized silk is made through smelting. There are also tools and fire sources in the altar, so this step is not difficult.
In Xingli Continent, crystallizers are actually a branch of alchemists. In fact, the former is more specialized.
Qi immediately brought various alchemy potions and a crucible, lit a fire, and started to work.
Jielu continued to study and advance the second step of the "ritual", and asked the other two people for their opinions from time to time to see if she had understood anything wrong.
The breath of wind vortex spreads throughout the entire altar along with the steam. A light green mist appeared in front of Jielu's eyes, and she felt surprised.
Firsa explained: "That is the power of the divine wind contained in the wind vortex stone, released in the form of light green mist. It doesn't matter, it won't hurt anyone, I know it."
There is no need to dwell on the steps of the spell. It wasn't until Qi Jiang completed the smelting steps that the breath of the wind vortex gradually dissipated.
Jielu observed the liquid in the transparent test tube, "It is emerald green..." She had never seen or heard of it before. It turns out that the soul also has color. Shirley, who was good at wind magic during her lifetime, had an emerald green soul, as if it were flowing. As dazzling as emerald.
The second step of the ceremony is to pour the liquid soul into the back of the doll's neck. This is a part that is not easily discovered and destroyed, and it is also the entrance to the center of the doll's body.
Qi carefully introduced the liquid in the test tube, not missing a drop. Strangely, there was no trace left in the test tube. This step is also considered a success.
At this moment, Filsa felt the sudden ignition of demonic breath erupting from the body of the doll. Not only that, Jielu and Qi also witnessed with their own eyes, a wind curtain wrapped around the doll, forming a tornado with the doll as the eye, preventing others from approaching.
The three retreated. The amethyst lamps around me were dark and affected by the strong magic fluctuations.
Prayed explanation: "Miss Shirley really uses the masters of the wind magic. Her magic began to wake up, and she was about to scare me."
She also said that this process today is the process of melting each other by magical power, soul, and puppets. No one can take it closer to interruption, otherwise the consequences will be at their own risk.
The puppet is protected by the wind curtain, and the puppet will reshape the humanoid in the soul during this period.
The layer of the curtain overlap is nearly nearly formed a spiral and translucent wall.
This situation will last for about half a day. At this time, the three could only pray to the sky, hoping that the last step, everything was fine.
5. "During this period, I had something to do." He stood up and raised the messy placket.
"Do Mr. Philsa leave? But at this critical time ..." Qi was surprised by Philsa's sudden decision.
Since entering the altar, Jie Lu has never understood what Phils is thinking, and she also intends to persuade Phils to temporarily not to leave.
"There are two of you to guard Shirley here, and I can rest assured. I have to go out for reasons. The midnight chop will come to the alarm town soon."
Philsa planned not to wait for the mercenaries to find, but took the initiative to fight against midnight. I was startled, and hurried to watch the situation outside the hut in front of the crystal mirror.
Not only that, she also transferred the monitoring field to the maximum. Sure enough, he found that there was a mercenary army, which was aggressive and close to the ames -no, they seemed to have arrived at the amethyst.
A little bit of Jie Lu has never understood, "Why ... from the beginning, they have fingered our actions?"
Philsa did not answer in person, but walked out of the altar after thanking the prayer. Jie Lu followed closely. At this time, he told his guess. He had previously estimated that the demon monitored himself secretly.
Now, they come to the purpose of the amethyst ...
"They may have guess that we will return to the amethyst. Even if this is not the case, they will definitely come to the amethyst to worship their dead companions."
A few days ago, Filsa killed one of the important members of the midnight, not only that, but also made his death.
In other words, any companion of the deceased will definitely hate the murderer. In fact, this was also one of the reasons why the red blade led the team to chase Philsa and Jielu that day.
Jie Lu remembered a companion who was out of control at that time and brought her a white and cold horror. For this time, he must fight again, because the enemy is at midnight.
"Is it hurt? You still stay here with Sister Shirley, just go out and cope with it alone." Jie Lu said, at that moment, he suddenly had such an idea -if he died out of the battle, maybe maybe he died out, maybe you may die, maybe you may die, maybe you may die, may It is also a good ending.
"What are you talking about? How can you be alone to deal with the midnight and make the group of guys. Even if you deal with their boss alone, you may not be an opponent."
"But the same is the same as you alone ..."
"I still have ace in hand. Moreover, I have to get revenge."
Ace ... Does he mean his own "magic blood run away"?
No, what is important is not this. He seemed to mention "revenge by himself" just now?
"Revenge? What do you mean?"
"Yes ... must get revenge."
"Who is revenge for? Ah, is it ... him? Yog? How is it possible?" Jie Lu finally understood, but it was unbelievable.
“我太熟悉尤格的为人了。他言出必行，不会拖沓。这回他的失踪已经让我感到了很大的不安，后来听说他原来是要孤身一人去午夜斩使那边It is estimated that now ... I hope I guessed it wrong, I hope so. "
Philsa didn't look back and went all the way to the exit.
Although there are many secrets in the bifurcation, these are true to him who is blind. He can go back to the exit by relying on the feeling. Jie Lu has always followed him far away and kept advising him to come back.
"Really? Is this really that?"
"Even if it is not under the group of mercenaries, it is still under the trap where they set up. No wrong."
Not long ago, he heard the whereabouts of Yogu's whereabouts, and the phrase "Sure enough, it really was like this" was so meaningful.
Presumably at this moment he was very uncomfortable and lost a deep companion. So I plan to cut my revenge at midnight.
"The goal of their boss is me, to revenge for my companions, and I also have to revenge for my companions."
"Even if you are alone, it is impossible for you to repel such a large group of mercenaries? I want to go with you!"
"No, you have to stay here to guard the Shirley, you can't make mistakes. I will not lose, believe me."
Jielu nodded, but he still didn't want to let go of his hand, "I know you won't lose ... but you have to promise me, you must not die. Not only I am waiting for you alone, and ... Shirley sister!"
"Of course. When Shirley wakes up, you will rush over immediately!"
"we agreed!"
After this promise, Jie Lu and Philsa were separated halfway. She went back to the altar again, but found that there were too many bifurcation in the secret, almost lost.
In the end, she spent a lot of effort to return to the original road.
Near the altar, she smelled a bloody smell, so she was nervous, fearing what to mess with, and accelerated her steps back.
Jie Lu's eyes witnessed: There is no strangeness in the altar -but someone is coming outside the altar.
Fluttering -praying in a pool of blood and unconscious;
A woman holding a blood blade stands beside her.
She turned to look at Jie Lu, showing people with an expressionless mask.
This person attacked his assassin that day, and he saw the person's face before he was unconscious.
I learned that she was a member of the midnight chop, named Bo Blade, and she finally met face to face today. She discovered that the thin blade was also a warrior user.
Why does Felsa's magic tactile notice that anyone sneaked in?
Now I ca n’t think too much, I have to draw a knife to face the current enemy.
Bo Blade grinned and laughed, recalling that when he confronted the fake Jie Lu that night, she chopped the fake dolls with a knife;
Not long after that, Bo Blade finally found the real Jielu and implemented a sneak attack.
The final result was not satisfactory. She hidden her magic, secretly followed, and finally found the goal of Philsa. "I really can't think of it, do you even want to resurrect the dead? God will curse you!"
If Jie Lu does not return to extra, gradually approach, until the proper distance is cut off. The sensitive thin blades are here, jumping away first. Now Jie Lu and thin blades swap their positions. The former protects the prayer fell to the ground.
Qi Qi had breathing, but he couldn't get up, and the serious injuries in the abdomen continued to flow out of blood, and he was even fast to Jielu's foot boots.
"Miss Qi, are you okay?"
She could hear that Jie Lu shouted herself, but was unable to answer. She could only point out her strength to point to the stone platform to indicate that the enemy's goal was the puppet surrounded by the wind curtain.
Jie Lu understood, then closed the knife and stared at the enemy.
Almost at the same moment, the Blade also retracted her knife and made a similar knife posture to her.
The two sides are about three meters apart. In the stone cave, only the vortex whistled.
The thin blade can guess that Jie Lu is easily distracted at this time, and also knows the main reason why she can distinguish her, so first speaks to disturb:
"That little boy -as soon as you go to the town of Zizen, you will be targeted by the arrow. Even if you can hide the arrow rain, it is impossible to deal with our elite troops. None of the heroes. Our brothers shouted for his life! "
Bo Blade saw Jie Lu's look -her red pupils stared at herself like bloodthirsty, making her heart fear, but she continued to talk about it later, and she was careful to prevent the opponent's attack:
"The boss vowed to behead him! The boss would not lose after using the power of blood love. The boy was dead!"
At this time, Jie Lu moved slightly, and then tightened, and continued to concentrate. When Bo Blade saw the enemy, he had begun to be nervous.
Her weaknesses are Filsa, the companion of the companion -have become even more fatal since "that day".
Bo Blade continued to speak, and did not hold the kung fu on his mouth: "Just kidding you! The king wanted us to catch it, and ordered me to wait. It's all good, you can be included in the pocket! But the sword is not eye -catching, he encounters a red blade, maybe there will be a few arms and a few legs, who will ask him to kill the blade! "
The last sentence of Bo Blade was almost shouting, and at the same time Jie Lu stepped forward to pull out the knife. At this moment, Bo Blade calculated Jielu's next action, and he thought of the curse to make himself invisible.
Jie Lu lost his goal at once, almost panicked. But then he immediately calmed down, knowing that the other party was proficient in the skills of sneak attack.
She let go of her previous enemies to disrupt her language, closed her eyes silently, and listened to movement around. Fields does not rely on their eyes, and sometimes they can catch the enemy's movement by their ears.
The heart is like still water. Just maintain such a state with all your heart;
Waiting for the enemy to shoot, and then get out of the knife.
The thin blade in the stealth is now on the wall like a spider, and found that Jie Lu was calm down in an instant. It felt a little tricky as the previous words.
She is also waiting for the enemy to show a flaw. The power of Fengxuan also has a great impact on her.
Her gaze accidentally acted across the wind curtain wrapped around the stone platform, so she gave up her heart again.
"Little sister, have you ever thought--"
"Shut your mouth!" Just when the thin blade spit out the sound, Jie Lu's ears captured the vibration of the air, and accurately pulled the knife in the upper right direction, and released two fast sword gas.
The thin blades shot with the strength of the whole body. In the end, the sword was only cut into her right hair.
The thin blade took the opportunity to jump on the ground and hid behind the stone platform.
She was annoyed that the enemy would suddenly interrupted and drank herself, and she endured the anger and continued to say: "After this woman wakes up, you will not be better!"
This sentence made Jie Lu distracted again.
Sure enough -thin blades are so correct. Once the relationship with Phils is involved, Jie Lu will feel uneasy and show flaws.
"you shut up!"
"He won't be nice to you anymore. That's how men are, and forgotten the old."
The Blade has always taken the stone platform as an obstacle, making Jie Lu be difficult to shoot, which is really cunning. Jie Lu stared at the enemy with his teeth.
She continued to provoke in language: "That night is really happy."
Jie Lu listened to his head for a while, and approached the fastest speed around the circle, but he still couldn't catch the tail of the fox.
"Be careful not to break the doll! Your companion will blame you!"
Jie Lu could no longer be calm, just thinking about how to let her close her mouth.
"Or you can kill her." Bo Blade pointed at Shirley.
"Showing the responsibility to the resurrection ceremony, the accident ended, so that you can get your man again."
After the sound of Bo Blade fell, I saw Jielu not moved for a long time. Bo Blade speculated that she might have been relaxed.
So she flashed out, but found that Jie Lu had already stayed away from herself, walked outside the altar, and made a pre -lifting knife posture.
Jie Lu closed his eyes tightly, his posture was sharp, and he was shrouded in shadow. The scabbard seems to be full of flames, the fluctuations of magic power, and are not lost at the moment that raging the vortex of the surrounding wind.
"I would rather die without betraying my companions!" Jie Lu whispered, his pupils were like blood.
"What do you want to do?" Bo Blade saw that Jie Lu was about to use martial arts with magical power, and it was a large -scale damage technique that combined with knife pull -up techniques.
The cave space is not large, and Jielu's sword extraction magic martial arts will definitely affect the entire space.
"Are you really ... Do you want to bury me and this puppet in the cave? He also said that he would not betray your companion ..."
"You are too naive." Jie Lu closed his eyes as always, vomiting his words calmly.
"Do you actually say that I am naive?" No one dared to drink thin blades until now, and no one dared to say that she was naive.
So the anger rises, thinking that even if you give up the hunting, you will fight back.
The thin blade rushed forward and quickly pumped the knife, and came to win Jielou's life, and the blade was aimed at her throat. Until the critical moment, Jie Lu still didn't move like a mountain, and his heart stopped water.
However, the movement invades like a fire. The true body of the demon sword "Red Lotus" finally came out of the sheath. The shadow of the shroud of Jielu suddenly exploded, and the magic interest invaded the surroundings.
The flames are like a huge red lotus, and the centered on Jielou is extremely blooming. The high temperature of the moment temporarily suppressed the roar of the vortex. The cave was full of fire.
Jie Lu's knife and released the long -accumulated magic, sweeping the flames around the flames around.
However, she is considered a low place that the three feet of the ground is the magic flame that cannot be affected, so that the prayer to the ground escapes this blow;
The puppet on the stone platform was not injured because of the protection of the vortex;
Only the thin blades that were facing the Jielou before, completely ate one of the flames of the magic flame. The thin blade was thrown on the stone wall by the powerful magic, burned throughout the body, and spit out blood;
Blood was steamed and dried at high temperature before landing.
Her blade couldn't resist the swallowing of the flame and turned into pieces.
The top of the cave produced small cracks, and even small stones were dropped, but it was still strong.
Jie Lu also quasiled the third aspect -the destruction range of the magic flame.
Jie Lu finally made Bo Blade "shut up" — she could only cough and vomit blood, it was difficult to speak, and the magic of the outbreak of the outbreak crushed her internal organs, causing her to be miserable at this moment.
Jie Lu did not intend to get rid of her life. Because according to the condition of thin blades, she will not live too long.
Bo Blade did not expect that he would lose to Jie Lu, and only made himself fatal.
She looked up at the woman she was defeated -a woman named Jie Luxueo. Her figure is swaying in her eyes;
The color of the flame is stained on her blond hair;
And her red pupils that look at herself;
And the samurai knife held in her hand, a demon, if there is a crown entangled;
All this brings a sense of suffocation together. For yourself, this is the despair of fire.
The monster knife of Toyo Island, a kendo like evil and evil, and martial arts with lotus flowers ... Could this person ...
The thin blade continued to look up at Jie Lu's posture, and finally understood the true identity of the enemy.
So he grinned and said in difficulties: "It turns out that you are the" Lotus of the Night "! But you ... "
In the flame, Jie Lu heard the name of his teacher's door from his population, and was surprised, and then did not deny: "What is it?"
"Then you will never have a companion! They will die for you! Ah hahaha!"
Jie Lu raised his knife to cross his shoulders, his eyes and tone were very determined: "I won't let them hurt me and my companions again."
Soon after Bo Blade knew his life, he used his strength and spit out his last words intermittently: "Even if you win me, there is no way to change your ending. Once the girl wakes up, you will always be abandoned!"
Jie Lu is silent. She did not deny this, and even accepted silently, so she was so resolute and unhappy.
Bo Blade laughed at her with the last strength of her life, harsh and surrounded.
I don't know where the wind comes from the wind of Jielu's hair, and the thin blade's hair is blowing, and it will blow out the continuous fire around just for a moment.
The surroundings became cold, which made Jielu be vigilant again, and he took the heads around.
Bo Blade took the opportunity to stand up, pulled out the dagger, and rushed in the direction of Jie Lu.
For some reason, a good time for the thin blade to sneak attack.
Jie Lu turned back and found that the thin blade was near her eyes, her dagger was stabbing her throat!
Whimming, the wind was growing.
Jie Lu witnessed this scene -Bo Blade's right hand was cut off by the right hand that was unknown, flying out for several feet. Bo Blade screamed on the spot, unbelievably looking at his bloody right shoulder.
It wasn't Jie Lu's shot, even if she could not be so fast. She took a few steps back and glanced at the movement of the Tornado.
Under the surrounding layers of the curtain, the puppets on the stone platform finally woke up -standing there was a vague figure there, and the pupils were green.
"Yes ... Sister Shirley!"
I saw the puppet moved his arm a little, and the four wind blades were shot from the tornado surrounded by itself. The naked eyes were almost impossible to see its shape and trajectory.
Is this the power of the vortex?
The wind curtain has not disappeared, growing around.
This magical full state of prosperity is simply scared.
"Sister Shirley! You finally woke up!" Jie Lu put down his knife, sighed inside, this time the ascetic did not have in vain.
Presumably Philsa will be very happy. It was a reunion after several years.
The short -sighted "Shirley" stared at Jie Lulu Xuenuo across the wind curtain.
