Chapter 9
Discussing the success rate of this matter.I stood alone on the balcony, letting the night wind blow my cheeks.The water vapor of the Osawa gods in the distance looms under the moonlight, and the green hills lie quietly under the brilliance of the lonely stars. The clouds occasionally lift or take their veils, spreading into black smoke.Everything is so peaceful, and the disputes and noises in this world seem to have nothing to do with me.
"The air is so nice." Almit emerged from behind me.She just took a shower and was still wiping her short hair with a towel: "This has the taste of hometown."
I turned and leaned against the guardrail: "Why did you hit me today?"
"How should I put it, I thought you would avoid it. This is the first time you've let me hit you in so many years!" She lay on the guardrail, looking into the distance: "After the failure of the Blood Moon Festival, I thought you would come crying Find me, tell me 'I was wrong, I should have listened to you!' I told you that the people in the alliance can't be trusted. Look, did they believe you when the big devil was released? They Have you been allowed to go to the parallel universe? The leader said that they don’t care about stuffing some money, have you really done your duty? You are just a pawn they use to stabilize the situation now!"
"The chess pieces are just the chess pieces, isn't that what politicians do? Isn't what we can do is to fight monsters and save the world?" I looked at her, very relieved: "Aren't you still insisting on being a brave man? No or Because is there any hope for this world?"
"You're so annoying!" She punched me heavily in the abdomen, and I couldn't straighten up immediately: "Hey...does it have to be so ruthless?"
"If you don't hide yourself, how can you blame me?"
"Okay, blame me, blame me." I stood up straight with the railing: "I met Chris last time. She also asked about your recent situation."
"So? You're not going to explain to a guy who cheated us so much, are you?" She patted me on the shoulder: "Go to bed early."
([-]) My second friendly meeting with Mr. Brave
"Can you see me clearly?"
Seeing me nodding, she smiled with satisfaction: "I thought the signal would be poor."
"Maybe it's because Cynthia made some adjustments."
"Cynthia..." She was thoughtful: "They sent her here... No wonder Xin's tone is so strange."
"You don't have a particularly good relationship with her?"
"Well... I'm not particularly good at getting along with juniors. And she has always resisted me."
"I see." I had to take this great opportunity to ask my question clearly: "Why do you want to exchange souls with me?"
"I didn't make it clear to you? I remember I told you the first time we met."
I remembered the chaotic appearance when we met for the first time, and smiled awkwardly: "I may have forgotten."
She didn't express helplessness to this answer, but seriously answered my question: "You should be clear about the Blood Moon Festival, right? The Great Demon King who was sealed in the age of mythology was discovered, and he was sealed on four different stone slabs." Middle. Some evil wizards wanted him to return to the world, so they used the opportunity of the Blood Moon Festival to summon him. Half of the slate was unsealed, and his soul was liberated, but the power and sex were still there. Someone brought the rest The two stone tablets and the demon king's soul went to Earth."
"But in fact, you can go directly to the earth, right? Do you have to exchange souls with me?"
She smiled helplessly: "It is true that coming to Earth by myself is the most convenient way. The League of Braves will not allow me to go to Earth, because my ability is too variable for that stable world. Even if I sneak across , They will also try their best to search for me. Zenas Rebold can't disappear suddenly, otherwise the world will be messed up. They are afraid of my blood, so I can only find the demon queen and have a little battle with her trade."
"trade?"
"Forgive me for not being able to highlight all. But rest assured, it will not have any impact on your life."
, don't tell me if it doesn't affect you?Well, that's a good statement.
"Zhao Qingli, do you know magic?"
She asked abruptly, and I touched the bridge of my nose: "You found out."
"You want to be talented, why didn't you keep learning?"
"In that world, 'What's the use of learning magic?'" Some bad memories came to my eyes, and finally turned into a wry smile on the corner of my mouth: "Do you think there is any need for magic in life over there?"
She saw my disappointment and said with a smile: "Then it's alright if I use your body to perform some magic?"
"It's okay, it's okay, you can do whatever you want!"
"I know about saving the leader. I don't think there is anything wrong with your choice." Her figure began to become transparent: "I also know about the fact that the leader was cursed for me, and I want to repay him I can’t personally participate in this task now, but you will definitely help me complete it?” Her smile is so sincere, which makes people feel at ease: “I trust you.”
What qualifications do I have to live up to this smile?
([-]) Where is this team of brave men? It's clearly a group of rogues!
"Don't...you are Zhao Qingli, you are not a brave...you shouldn't pick up...sin...curse...you shouldn't be here...you shouldn't...her!"
I woke up suddenly and found myself asleep on Annabeth's shoulder.
I hold it on my temple.Those ravings, that familiar yet unfamiliar voice, are constantly disturbing my mind.
"what happened?"
"I feel dizzy."
Annabeth reached out her hand, placed it gently on my forehead, and chanted a spell lightly. I suddenly felt a warm current from her palm.I had a jolt, and my mind was much clearer.
"Thanks. Are we here yet?"
Her lowered hand intentionally rested on mine: "Hurry up, we've already passed through the Gate of Horus."
"Ah?" I quickly looked out the window, only seeing the boundless wilderness, I didn't see that strange big arch: "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Annabeth turned her head away so I couldn't see her expression. "Is there anything wrong with trying to get you to sleep longer?"
No, after all, how many times can it be good for me to rest on your shoulder?
Except for a very small number of important people who have a pass, all people have to pass this "Freedom Line" railway to enter Liberty.Even Zenas belongs to the unimportant people.We can only choose to take the train obediently.Even though this means that everyone knows that a group of incredible brave men has entered here.
Liberty, as the name suggests, is an extremely free city.It is located on the edge of the desert, a bit like Cairo in Egypt.This is a neutral city, where humans and demons are the same, no one will discriminate against anyone, and no one will help anyone.Mercenaries, adventure groups, bounty hunters, fugitives, and killers gather here, waiting for business or trouble to come to your door.There is also the world's largest black market here, with everything from the Philosopher's Stone from ancient times to the innocent girl found in that small village. "Zenath" is a joke here and the target of many assassinations.After all, this "strongest brave man" doesn't know how many enemies he has.
And we have to enter this city to find a dwarf warrior named "Majie".He once discovered "Blood Lotus" while exploring curved surfaces.Almit led us ahead, and we wore robes and hoods like so many warriors on the street.
The streets are fairly clean, but the mess of people gathering together is disturbing.From time to time, eyes drifted past us, as if they were curious about what the women were doing in such a dangerous place.
We came to a dark alley and stopped in front of a bar.Although I couldn't understand the words on the flashing neon lights, the smell of alcohol and hormones that I could smell just at the door made me understand what was going on here.
"Is he here?" I asked.
"Correct."
"But it's still early, maybe he's not here?"
"Impossible." Almit was very confident: "He must be there." She pushed the door and entered, and other people followed her in, leaving me alone.
I'm a good young man of the proletariat, and I've never been so close to a bar.Every time I see that minors are prohibited from entering, I will slip away. I am so obedient that I have never even entered an Internet cafe!Thinking about it this way, today is still quite memorable.
I took a deep breath and walked in, I couldn't believe what I saw.
"Say, you found the blood lotus?"
There was a mess in front of me.The table was overturned, glass shards were everywhere, and the smell of all kinds of wine mixed together was enough to make me drunk.The poor dwarf bartender was picked up by Almit and pressed against the corner.Almit was still holding half a beer bottle, pointing the pointed end at his throat.Two scantily clad dwarf waitresses had also been tied up, and Cynthia was dozing off boredly while holding the rope.Looking at the wine rack, Annabeth took down a bottle of "Dragon's Blood" from above (is this a bar? This must be a bar?), and filled a glass full of red liquid (is this a wine bar? This must be a wine bar?) Wine bar?) Even Isabelle sat at the bar, scrubbing the vicious-looking wolfhound on a chain.
Did I just stand at the door for an hour?Why did it suddenly happen?
"Speak? Where did you find the blood lotus?"
"I... I have never seen a blood lotus."
"You don't want to say it, do you?" Almit threw away the glass bottle, and punched him hard in the stomach, nose, and right eye, and the dwarf screamed in pain.
"It's too cheap for him, isn't it?" Cynthia said casually.
"Agreed. Be good dog, do well." Isabel must have used some kind of potion on this poor dog, and it stared forward dully
