"How shameful that the offender was allowed to flee here with such arrogance."
"What kind of existence is that guy that can cut through space at will?"
"If Her Lady Queen is here to seal time and space, he will never be able to escape!!"
"..."
As the torrent of steel stopped, discussions became rampant for a while.
Obviously, letting the suspicious offender escape from under his nose would be a shame to the entire legion.
But again,
The opponent was able to hold on under Lord Yaoji's Moon Domain until reinforcements arrived, and then calmly broke through the space to escape from here. The powerful power it possessed also frightened these battle-experienced warriors.
"Lord Yao Ji, what happened?"
"I thought I just heard you saying not to do anything like that Onmyoji?"
An inquiry with a request for instructions rang in Yao Ji's ears, and it was a soldier from Nichirin City who was close to him.
Not only the person who asked, but also the cavalrymen dozens of meters around had such concerned and doubtful eyes.
Although the scene just now was relatively noisy, due to their close position, they all heard the woman's call that was contrary to her previous behavior.
Faced with this question filled with concern and doubt, Yao Ji shook her cheek in a daze, not saying anything more, and she didn't want to say anything more.
Since that person is no longer in the empty field of vision, it means that nothing is important.
What is the future direction?
Will nightmares come to this world?
It's no longer relevant to that person.
And it was with his own hands that he rejected the hope he had prayed for.
When she thought of this, Yao Ji felt extremely painful in her heart. Her beautiful and proud face drooped, and her long, loose hair gently brushed across her confused and depressed face.
Such a sense of despair made the knights of Nichiwa City around them even more confused and at a loss.
Ever since the former gradually took over the responsibilities of his father to lead the entire legion, they had never seen the other side look so depressed.
"Lord Yao Ji, are you okay?"
The soldiers who stopped here chose to ask again despite the exchange of glances.
But this time, they got a response.
"Leave me alone for now,"
"I'm fine."
"Report this to Her Royal Highness the Queen, and request that the security of Nichirin City be strengthened."
Yao Ji whispered.
The tone had lost its previous sonority and tenacity.
The scene of the horrific nightmare once again became clear before his eyes, and the fact that the life-saving straw he prayed for was pushed away by his own hands, which made him feel exhausted mentally and physically.
"yes,"
"We will report this matter to Lord Himihu, and we will also strengthen patrols during the wedding."
"My lord, please pay attention to your own rest, and don't overwork yourself or blame yourself."
“This land still has us.”
The worries in the eyes of the soldiers who received the response did not diminish.
But they still followed the woman's words and attributed the former's low mood here to letting the offender escape and being tired recently for the queen's wedding.
Hearing this, Yao Ji did not reply.
Just hold the Moon Blade in your hand very tightly,
The strong unwillingness and despair were like the sea water washing over her ears, layer after layer, one after another, hitting her state of mind one after another.
[Faced with this advance prediction, I did nothing after all. 】
[But, if I lose the possible support, will I continue to be in such a sluggish state? 】
【No,】
【don't want. 】
【Absolutely not! 】
[I am Yao Ji, the daughter of the general of Nichirin City! 】
[My responsibility is to protect this land, to protect the Queen! 】
[Therefore, no matter what kind of nightmare is about to come, I will never compromise! ! 】
"etc,"
"I will report this matter to Her Majesty the Queen myself,"
"You should strengthen the defense of Sun City now, and summon all the pharmacists and doctors in Sun City to the General's Mansion to be on standby."
Yao Ji suddenly raised her face and turned sideways in the direction where the army left.
There was no trace of depression on Yu Zhi's stunning cheeks, only firmness and resoluteness that made the surrounding soldiers awe-inspiring.
[God does not respond,]
[Possible help has also left me,]
[Then, I myself will become the hope of Nichiwa City! 】
"yes."
Seeing Lady Yaoji returning to her previous state, the surrounding Nichirin City soldiers couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. They all raised their voices in response to the woman's order without any questioning.
Afterwards, batches of cavalry rushed in all directions under the orders of their respective captains.
"I didn't expect that your prestige in Nichirin City is quite high."
And at this moment, a slightly impressed voice came to the woman's ears.
Such clear words and the distance immediately startled Yao Ji, and she immediately stepped back and turned sideways on guard, even showing a fighting posture.
After all, an outsider broke through his own vigilance and got close to him, but he didn't know it yet.
Such negligence is simply unforgivable!
If the other party wants to be hostile, then...
However, when she saw the appearance of the speaker, the entire spiritual sea instantly set off a monstrous storm regardless of level, and the Moonlight Euphorbia she was holding tightly in her hand also appeared to be relaxed.
because,
"It's you,"
Yao Ji opened her mouth, but it was very difficult to squeeze out these two words from between her lips and teeth.
Moreover, the complex and turbulent emotions contained in these two minimalist words are clear and palpable.
The Nichirin City soldiers who were not completely separated around them naturally noticed their master's sudden behavior. However, although there was still a worried look in their eyes, they finally chose not to say anything and left to carry out the former. tasks assigned.
[Lord Yao Ji, who was unable to defeat the offender, must have some unexplainable unwillingness in her heart. 】
[Let Lady Yaoji stay alone and quietly for a while. 】
This is the idea that resonates in their hearts.
As the words with extremely complicated emotions came out of her mouth, Yao Ji suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the Sunilin City soldiers.
She wanted to explain to her subordinates that the foreign onmyoji in front of her was not an enemy at the moment, so they should not launch an attack rashly.
But before Yaoji could speak, the soldiers of Nichirin City who noticed her gaze bowed their heads to signal their master, then took the reins in their hands and took the order to leave.
Such a situation makes it difficult to distinguish the situation for a while.
Didn't they see the Onmyoji named Uchiha Ara?
Or,
Regarding the other party's departure and return, it is just an illusion caused by one's own excitement.
The sudden thought in her heart caused Yao Ji's state of mind to shake violently and question her.
But obviously, I was mentally prepared to face the nightmare alone, so why did I see him again and even hear his voice?
[Unexpectedly, your prestige in Nichirin City is quite high. 】
That's what he said.
Speech is clear and very close.
"It's really you,"
When Yao Ji tried to calm down her mood and looked back, the man was indeed still standing in her field of vision.
For a moment, although there were still great emotions surging in her heart, her voice was much clearer and calmer than before.
[Secret Technique·Ming Jing Shi Shui. 】
[Weaker than the caster, invisible. 】
Those knights in Nichirin City were naturally more than a hair weaker than Huang.
"Next time if something happens, tell me earlier."
"Your repeated behavior will make me very distressed."
Aang did not answer the woman's seemingly funny words, but looked into the former's eyes and said to himself.
At the same time, the corner of his vision also noticed the crimson half piece of magatama.
When he used his secret technique, Mingjing Shisui, to gradually approach the opponent, it did not alert its master like before.
This may be because too much energy was consumed in resisting the progressive secret technique [Eternal Winter], or it may be because [Ding Jing Shisui] did not anticipate the other stealth methods, or the owner did not feel the impact of the attack. Substantial danger caused by various reasons.
"You're not cheating on me, are you?"
"Go and come back again, like this."
Yao Ji did not respond to the words of the Onmyoji in front of her, she was also telling her own problems.
The dialogue between the two is always on the same channel.
Hearing Huang's rhetorical question, he immediately had the urge to laugh out of anger.
Naturally, he understood that the woman did not mean that her return was false, but that her desperate departure was deceiving her.
He pretended to choose to leave, but in fact he concealed his figure through the previous secret technique.
However, before Huang wanted to vent his unsatisfied emotions, he suddenly noticed that crystal water appeared in the woman's eyes from nowhere, like a little girl who had been greatly wronged.
Maybe the current Yao Ji didn't even realize that something suddenly appeared in her eyes. She was still just staring blankly at the foreign visitors who were so close, eager and hoping to get a definite answer.
This scene, which was like a world-famous painting, not only blocked the teasing response that Huang was about to make, but also created a real sense of debt and guilt.
After all, this is the strong existence that silently guarded his hometown for more than 800 years after the fall of Nichirin City, and finally broke the cycle of reincarnation here!
Now he was made to cry by his actions, which was somewhat unforgivable.
The most important thing is that she chose to ask for help from herself at the last moment, so to a certain extent, it can be regarded as betraying her faith.
"yes,"
"I did not lie to you."
Huang answered seriously, and his right eye that kept looking straight continued to receive the former's trembling searching gaze.
After getting the affirmative answer, Yao Ji's tense mood finally eased a little. At the same time, the water accumulated in her eyes also broke through the limits of emotion and capacity, and slowly slid down her cold, bright cheeks.
"So, you have to be responsible for me."
Seeing Yao Ji's appearance here, Huang's mood became even more shaky, and he even began to feel a little annoyed about why he had such a bad character before, and even said some ambiguous words in a panic.
Such words immediately made the grievance in the woman's eyes fade away slightly, and a little confusion and speculation emerged, as if she was thinking about what the former meant by 'responsible'.
"cough,"
"What I mean is that if the danger that Nichirin City is about to face cannot be resolved, then I may have to fall here for several years, more than ten years, or even hundreds of years."
Huang also noticed something wrong with his words at this moment.
Therefore, after a dry cough disrupted the former's thoughts, he expanded and added.
"So, you must help me, this is also to save your homeland and companions behind you."
At the end of his speech, both his words and the expression on his face became more solemn and serious.
After all, once the behavior of returning midway is cancelled, if you want to return from the secret realm, there are only two ways to complete the mission or to forcefully open the space yourself.
If you want to leave through other secret realms as a turnaround, you can, but you need to enter a higher level secret realm, and you cannot turn around or go down.
The [Ancient Land of the Sun] is already a mythical secret realm, and the next step requires entering the Hundred Ghosts secret realm.
Not to mention whether there is a Hundred Ghost-level secret realm mission in Huang Zhan, there is still some distance to meet the conditions for the Eighty-Eight Ghosts Night Walk to open the Hundred Ghost-level secret realm.
This was one of the reasons why he decisively chose to stay at the critical moment when he heard Yao Ji's call.
Hearing the onmyoji in front of her speak so solemnly, Yao Ji immediately gave up her other thoughts.
"So everything I dreamed about was real?"
After raising her hand to wipe away unnecessary things remaining on her cheeks, she looked at the former carefully and said every word.
"yes."
Asked in return, Huang nodded without any doubt.
"but why?"
"The sun that has protected Sun City for thousands of years will never abandon this city and its residents for no reason. Why did it evolve into what it looked like in the dream?"
This is the biggest question in Yao Ji's mind, and it is something that she still doesn't want to believe or question until now.
However, after experiencing previous twists and turns, she began to muster up the courage to face this possibility.
"Simple, because of your queen."
"A descendant with the blood of a god wants to marry a mortal. This is an act of disobedience to Gao Tianyuan and a blasphemy to the Sun God."
"I thought you guys in the ancient city should know this very well."
"Or is it that the thousands of years of being blessed have made you forget the laws set by the gods?"
This time Huang didn't hide anything and pointed out the crux of the problem.
After hearing the answer, Yao Ji's face suddenly became pale, because the combination of a witch with a mortal and a monster is indeed something that violates the rules of the gods, and it is also a deed that has happened in the past.
"But Lord Himihu and Lord Wandeng are truly in love."
"If you tell the Lord God everything in advance, then depending on the situation of the Queen's management of Nichirin City, you may be able to get your prayers."
But even if you find the problem, you still know what the most direct and useful solution is.
But Yaoji still couldn't bear to touch that answer.
Because she wants to see the Queen get her own happiness,
This wish is the same as that of countless Nichiwa City residents!
However, before Yao Ji could continue to indulge in this beautiful fantasy, Luang's cold and disdainful rhetorical question poured a chill into her heart:
"But the question is, will the gods listen to your wisdom?"
