Sky blue [green blue]

Chapter 13

--spring.

"What's so good about this?"

Holding his cheek with one hand and leaning slightly sideways, Demon King Xiaolu frowned, expressing straightforward confusion and curiosity about this question.

(—Obviously it is the aesthetics of your demons that is unreasonable!—)

Without thinking about it, he remembered the rebuttals he had heard before, and then thought of his soft blue ball that was always excited to explode, and the Demon King was amused and chuckled a few times.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, she changed to a more lazy sitting position, Xiaolu rested her elbows on the table and held her face in both hands, turned her eyes to stare at the shadowy and swaying roof, and muttered to herself childishly: "I don't know if I will meet Xiaolan?"

——Some things need to be confirmed with him.

Emerald green eyes fell on the open book from a overlooking angle, staring at the familiar passage, Xiaolu, who had not changed her posture, whispered to herself: "I really care a little bit..."

Regarding the initial period of history, in fact, Little Green Boy has read it countless times carefully.

For nothing else, I just want to find out if there is a way to break the situation.

——After all, that is the existence that kills the [Demon Lord] instantly.

Feeling that this reason alone is sufficient, the upright Xiaolu corrected her sitting position in one go.

Well, in fact, it's just a little straightened up, but that's not the point of the question.

The palm of the left hand is still supporting the cheek, and the idle right hand is hanging on the open page, the fingertips lightly caress and slide to the edge of the page of the chapter, slowly raised, gently turning over one page, then over again one page...

The whole process was as casual as a pastime, and with that absent-minded smile, it turned out to be lazy and elegant magically.

The reason why she had been ignoring it before was because Xiaolu felt that since she had a vested interest in the development of the situation, she should acquiesce and let it go with the mentality of watching a drama.

Even when the weapon that could definitely kill the [Devil King] appeared out of nowhere, Xiaolu still had a more contented attitude in her heart, and even wanted to play with her mobile phone more when she had time.

But now...

"There's nothing in this world that costs more than [free]."

After uttering these intriguing words softly, the smile on the Demon King's face visibly cooled down.

************

As early as tens of millions of years ago.

In order to stop the demon king who was trying to demonize the [World Tree] at that time, the desperate human beings prayed to the Valkyrie - Brenhill, and finally got the legendary [Sword of Glory] - Sapphire Holy Sword.

They formed a knight order in the name of Brenhill, intending to work together to resist the devil.

However, due to the fact that the holy sword has not yet fully awakened, the battle between human beings against the demon king was very long and cruel, and it still failed to stop the pace of the demon king's encroachment.

Until, a brave man was honored to be recognized by this legendary sword.

************

[Sword of Glory] - The recognition ceremony of the Sapphire Holy Sword is imminent.

Xiaolan returned to her hometown the day before the ceremony.

But it doesn't matter, because it's just a formality to announce to the world, and it doesn't have any effect on Holy Sword's recognition of Xiaolan in essence, so it's dispensable.

Moreover, matters related to the ceremony have been properly arranged by the headquarter of the Knights of Burren Hill. As the party involved, Xiaolan only needs to obey the command and complete the ceremony after going through this process.

"Chief of the Knights, let us do these things!" Seeing that Xiaolan, the protagonist, was planning to come over to help with the final arrangement, the nearby staff hurriedly stopped him.

"Ah? Oh, oh...uh, okay." The staff were sharp-eyed and enthusiastic, and Xiaolan faltered in her movements. She really didn't feel ashamed to help with the cheek, so she put down the decoration materials and left with a smile.

Xiaolan didn't stop until she confirmed that she had really gone far, and sighed helplessly.

——Even the preparations for the ceremony don't need to be done by myself...

For a person who has been busy for three months, this kind of rhythm is really a bit panicky.

In the past, when I was free, apart from taking care of the NPCs in the same city, I basically took care of the Endless Summer.But right now, the potted flower remains in its birthplace.In addition, since he only came back for a day or two this time, it is estimated that he will be arranged elsewhere after the ceremony, so that there is basically no need for him to settle himself now.

In other words, Xiaolan currently has no business items to pass the time.

——I'm really not used to it...

Xiaolan couldn't help sighing again from the bottom of her heart, the ending dragged on for a long time.

I have to say that the feeling of doing nothing is really subtle sometimes.

In order not to make herself too conspicuous, Xiaolan intentionally or unintentionally wanders in places with few people, and by the way, feels nostalgic for the village she left for a long time.

Unknowingly, thin and crisp birdsong sounded from time to time all around.

Before he knew it, he was wandering into the outer wooded area near the village.

"It's really spring..."

Walking out of the forest to a place with a relatively open view, facing the resurgent greenery around her, Xiaolan's originally depressed mood finally eased, and she couldn't help opening her arms and stretching her body against the gentle breeze, as if wanting to embrace the familiarity of her hometown. world.

After a happy stretch, Xiaolan stood on the hillside and looked at it inadvertently.

I saw that there seemed to be a big hole in the blue sky, and the Demon King City was located in it, and it was still shrouded in the darkness of lightning, thunder, and turbulent clouds.

It was a place beyond Fang that Xiaolan was familiar with.

When you are alone, your thinking is usually relatively active.

Anyway, Xiaolan just remembered: Speaking of which, the first time I met Xiaolu because of a bug and fell to the World Tree section, it was also spring...

——I always feel a little nostalgic.

Xiaolan couldn't help but smile.

Following the exhaled smile, the thoughts of recalling the memory overflowed at the speed of light.

In an instant-

(—The human village is so beautiful. I’ve never seen this kind of scenery before.—)

The original voice flashed in my mind.

"It's not the most beautiful season here yet."

When she came back to her senses, Xiaolan had unconsciously recited the words she had responded to the Demon King during the Blessing Ceremony for the Birth of the Brave, in a trance like raving.

"If you come to play in spring, the nearby hillsides will be full of wild flowers, which are even more beautiful than now."

—and now it is.

Looking at the hillside full of wildflowers in front of her, Xiaolan took out her phone from the side pocket very habitually and wanted to do something.

However, looking down at the phone, which still feels brand new, Xiao Lan fell into silence for a while.

Of course, the mobile phone in his hand still looks new, after all, it has only been used for three months, and there were no accidents during the period - the old one was scrapped during the city defense three months ago.

At that time, Xiaolan thought that this was a piece of evidence that was threatened by Xiaoxiaodi, the devil's adviser, and maybe even had the devil's instruction in it.

However, as time passed, at the end, he unknowingly felt a little grateful for Yongle's move—otherwise, he would want to send a message to the devil to chat with the devil from time to time.

It seems... It's a habit that has been formed before.

Xiaolan, who was only thinking about something in her heart, sighed, put her phone back into the side pocket, and then changed her arm, and her palm, which had been put on armor again, unconsciously pressed on the brand new breastplate.

His dark blue eyes were half-closed, and the focus fell on his raised hand.

Xiaolan knew: under the protection of the armor, it was a ribbon and two small dried flowers that she had carefully put away.

—Will he come?

Like a bubble popping softly after rising to the surface of the water, this question popped up like this.

Before Xiaolan had a chance to study it carefully, he suddenly felt his cloak being grabbed by a small force—as if to emphasize his own existence, that force then deliberately pulled it.

Following the feeling of strength, looking back, Xiaolan saw a little girl holding the corner of his cloak, looking up at him.

It is a child in the village.He knows it.

——It's a bit far...by the standards of a child.

The knight glanced around quickly from the corner of his eye.

— What happened?

After briefly analyzing the current situation in her heart, Xiao Lan knelt down on one knee so that her eyes were at the same level as the child's, and asked with a friendly smile like a big brother next door: "What's the matter, Meow Ban?"

On the other hand, seeing that Xiao Lan didn't intend to ignore her, the little girl couldn't hold back her emotions any longer, and said with tears in her eyes: "Chief of the Knights, I lost my cat...you can come with me!" Want to find my cat together?"
