The daily life of non-human beings traveling through time and space

The carriage flew outside the Windy City, landed in an open space, and then drove into the city through the main gate.

The seven wind guards marched with a carriage, but the people passing by rarely stopped, at most looked up and glanced, and just continued to do their own things.

The carriage finally stopped in front of a mansion.

The captain of the wind guard raised his hand: "Take someone to inform the city lord that he has arrived."

Then he turned and lifted the curtain: "You..."

In this carriage, which can be seen at a glance, there is only one person and one cat sitting inside. The beautiful silver-haired boy before has disappeared at some point.

...is it really a monster?

Shi Yue, who entered the City Lord's Mansion first, was wandering around the mansion at will.

There are quite a number of wind guards in the mansion, and they disappear more and more from time to time, sometimes pass them directly, sometimes stop to look them up and down——

He could see invisible white silk threads connecting the hearts of these wind guards.

And the hearts of these Fengwei are lighter in color than normal people, and their beating speed is also slower.However, this contrast is not great, it can even be said to be tiny.

The more I thought about it, the more I walked towards the place where these silk threads gathered.

Soon, he came to the center of the city lord's mansion, which is also the city lord's study, living room and office.There are more wind guards here than other places, and there are also white silk threads in the heart.

The owner of the city should be quite old. Shi Yue observed it and found that he has lived for at least 50 years, but his body is still in good health, and he can even be said to be full of vitality. At first glance, he thought he was only [-] years old. Get ahead.

Those silk threads gathered from all directions, and finally merged into one strand, tied to the heart of the city lord.

It seems that the reason why the city lord is still so young and energetic is not because he is "extraordinarily talented", but because he has stolen other people's vitality by means.

So the question is, how are these silk threads connected to those wind guards?

It must be related to the demon summoned by the city lord.

Just at this time, the captain of the wind guard who had met before came to the city lord with Xiu Mi.

Xiu Mi hugged little A, a little nervous, until he said something about himself during the city lord's questioning.

Things like his age, and his parents and adoptive father.

Only then did Shi Yue know that Xiu Mi's adoptive father who died on the battlefield last year was also a wind guard.

The city lord seemed to have just found out about this, and immediately showed memories and a sad expression. He patted Xiu Mi on the shoulder, like a kind and generous elder: "...I still remember his name, Ethan? It's also you His adoptive father, right? He is a good man and a good fighter, and seeing you now, I believe he is even a good father."

"He died on the battlefield... Just last year, that war was very tragic. Many young and brave windguards, including Ethan, were still fighting monsters at the last moment of their lives. It is a sad thing past."

After talking about Ethan, the city lord's attitude towards Xiu Mi became more gentle. Not only did he invite him to have dinner later, but he also proposed to let him stay in the city lord's mansion temporarily. If Xiu Mi is willing, after going through certain tests , can also become a powerful wind guard.

Shi Yue sat on the beam, with his back against the wall, tapped his fingers on his legs one after another, watching Xiu Mi go from nervousness to sadness to excitement to reverence and conviction in front of the city lord, his little face flushed. Yes, it's full of "innocence and simplicity"... He couldn't help but shook his head with a sigh.

The time was right at this time. After finishing the afternoon tea served by Feng Wei with Xiu Mi, the city lord quickly told Xiu Mi the main reason for inviting him to Fengcheng - the demon summoned by Xiu Mi!

"...that silver light is very huge, astonishing, like a miracle." The city lord used a serious expression and a gentle voice, solemnly said: "Xiu Mi, I think you still don't know what this means... never When people summon monsters, they will make such a big noise."

"Son, you're getting too much attention."

"The attention is good. For example, I can help you better worship the monster you summoned, and I can also take care of you from being harmed by those bad attention..."

Xiu Mi really didn't think too much after summoning the demon, but at this moment the child has firmly believed in what the city lord said: "Bad attention? That's..."

"The monster you summon will undoubtedly be very powerful, and the powerful monster will also lend you great power. And on the battlefield, great power will pose a threat to our enemies—those monsters."

The city lord said deeply and meaningfully: "Child, do you understand where the monsters came from? And why, this war has continued from 300 years ago to today?"

Of course Shumi didn't know.

In fact, even the head of the deserted village knows very little about the truth behind the information and history.

"Because behind these monsters, there are even more terrifying enemies hidden."

The city lord was silent for a while before continuing: "It is these enemies who have brought a steady stream of monsters, causing countless monsters to attack our city, trample our village, and destroy our home... This continent is already riddled with scars. Kong, those of us who are left alone and weak can only temporarily shrink back to a corner of the world's vast geographical territory, continue to develop and gather all the remaining power, and fight monsters."

"...So we need a strong power, Shumi, and now you represent that power. But the terrible enemy will not want us to get what we want, they are afraid of the power you have, so they will find ways to, Find you, hurt you, even take your life until you are no longer a threat to them."

Xiu Mi's eyes widened in shock: "...I, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, child." The city lord patted Xiu Mi's head comfortingly: "At least I still have me now, and I will help you grow up until you can be independent."

"By the way, tell me about the monster you summoned in detail, Xiu Mi, and the wind guard who went to pick you up said that it was a monster in human form."

A trace of weirdness and uneasiness flashed across Xiu Mi's subconscious, but this feeling came and disappeared faster, he thought for a while and said: "...I guess, Shi Yue is not much older than me, at most three or four years older, he He is a very gentle monster..."

A hint of sarcasm flashed in the city lord's eyes.

But Xiu Mi didn't notice it, and he continued: "I asked Shiyue, and he said...that I don't need to offer anything. He also told me that he couldn't lend me strength, but I thought about it, and I think this is actually It's not that important..."

The city owner was stunned, he interrupted: "Why?"

"what?"

"Power." The city lord restrained his expression: "I mean, monsters will lend power to the summoner. This has not changed since ancient times. Why did he refuse to give you power? Child, did something happen in the middle? Anything else? The unusual kind."

"No."

Another voice suddenly sounded in the room.

who? !The City Lord's expression changed, he raised his head in shock, and looked in the direction of the sound source——

Impossible, how could he not have noticed that there was one more person in the house...

A slender leg protruded from the beam, wearing white boots, swinging leisurely in the air.

The owner of the leg has beautiful silver hair. He just turned sideways at this moment, looked down, and looked down at the city lord and Xiu Mi, with clear eyes, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a casual attitude.

The city lord had only heard Feng Wei's report before, and knew that the monster Xiu Mi summoned was a humanoid, silver-haired, very beautiful boy.

After a brief shock, he immediately returned to his calm and serious state, looked at Xiu Mi and confirmed: "Son, is this the monster you summoned?"

"Yes..." Xiu Mi didn't expect Shiyue to be in the room all the time, the young man smiled at the city lord embarrassedly, waved to Shiyue: "Come down quickly!"

Even Shuya, who doesn't know much about the world, felt that it was impolite to go to the beam of the master's house like this.

Although monsters don't seem to care about this...

Seeing Xiu Mi's attitude towards Shi Yue, the city lord's eyes flickered.

But seeing Shiyue not only didn't get upset because of Xiu Mi's "order", but jumped down very obediently, but his heart moved.

When Shi Yue fell lightly to the ground, he approached the two of them, and sat cross-legged on a seat beside Xiu Mi, with a very casual posture.

The city owner couldn't help being attracted by Shi Yue. In fact, it was very difficult for him not to keep his gaze from sticking to the monster opposite.

It's still a teenager...

At most, no more than 17 years old.

That snow-white skin, picturesque eyebrows, beautiful, noble, and arrogant, if this is a human being, how carefully crafted and pampered/polished with all my might is, it seems that even a single strand of hair is glowing Exquisite brilliance...

Even if he is not human, but a demon.

But such a beautiful "work of art" should be kept in a locked treasure house, carefully cared for, and properly played with.

After Shi Yue sat down and supported the armrest, his body leaned against the back of the seat. His sitting posture was also very irregular, his body was tilted, his long silver hair fell on his chest and side, and the tassel earring on his earlobe was still Swaying slightly.

Those beautiful eyes that were as clear as emeralds finally locked onto the city lord at this time, Shi Yue smiled, and continued the previous topic: "I don't know about other monsters, but I won't lend Xiumi's power."

The city lord's eyes couldn't help turning greedily on Shi Yue's face, his mouth was already dry, his eyes were slightly red, and an unbearable desire/fire was surging in his chest.

He really wished he could hold this delicate and beautiful young man in his arms immediately and act recklessly.

Forcibly enduring the desire, the city lord tried his best to make himself smile like a gentle elder. He wondered, "Can you tell me why?"

When dispatching Fengwei to pick up Xiumi, the city lord already had several plans in his mind. These plans were carried out in different ways, but the purpose was the same - that is to let this young man named Xiumi die as soon as possible and reasonably.

But after meeting Tokieko, the city lord, who is very familiar with the origin and existence of monsters, realized that he couldn't let Xiu Ya die.

Because once the summoner dies, the monster summoned by him will be "returned" to the original place immediately.

For monsters, it is a very scary place.

So they are very willing to be summoned by the people of this world. Although they often have to lend their power to the summoner, they can obtain offerings and freedom.

On the contrary, if the monster dies, it will only damage the magic sea to the summoner. As long as he sinks his heart and spends a few years training his magic sea, he can summon new monsters again.

So Xiu Ya can't die.

At least until he got this beautiful genie.
