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

Why is Shiyue different from all the other summoned monsters?

He said that he would not lend Xiumi his power, and he did not need Xiumi to enshrine him with "love". He has a complete human form, and the special vision that occurred when he was summoned...

Adding all these together, although Shumi didn't ask much and could accept it, he was not without doubts in his heart.

After Shi Yue emphasized that he would not lend his strength, the city lord's question made Xiumi curious, and turned to look at Shi Yue——

At this moment, Xiu Mi vaguely saw the surrounding air rippling like water waves, the invisible vortex ripples centered on the silver-haired demon, expanding from his body in circles, gradually covering the entire room, causing bursts of waves in the air. A strange and unexplained sense of shock.

what happened?

Shumi subconsciously held her breath.

Shi Yue's smile deepened, and his fingertips tapped regularly on the armrest of the seat. He tilted his head and looked at the young man: "Xiu Mi, what kind of person do you think the city lord is?"

Hearing such a question, Xiu Mi was stunned, subconsciously glanced at the city lord, and was surprised to find that the city lord did not respond to what Shi Yue just said, and was talking to the air in front of him at this moment——

"These few days, let's treat him as a distinguished guest first." The city lord nodded: "Arrange a few more wind guards to monitor that Xiu Mi... By the way, observe how he is related to the monster he summons, every night Come and report to me."

Xiu Mi on the side stared wide-eyed, completely unaware of what was going on right now.

Obviously he and Shi Yue were sitting next to each other, but the city lord suddenly completely ignored them and sang "one-man show" on his own.

The city lord paused for a moment, as if he was listening to someone, and quickly said, "I asked that silver-haired demon why he didn't lend his power to the summoner, but I didn't get an answer."

"Well, your guess makes sense..."

The city lord nodded again: "By the way, that boy named Xiu Mi really wanted to be my Fengwei, heh, probably because he wanted his son to inherit his father's business and inherit the behest of his relatives, even though he was only a adoptive father and he was already dead It's been so long... But because of his adoptive father, he trusts me a lot and wants to become a wind guard, which is a good thing."

When Xiu Mi heard this, he couldn't understand that what the city lord said to him before was just a hypocrisy.

In fact, when he saw the contemptuous look on the other party's face when he mentioned his dead adoptive father, he was already burning with anger in his heart.

The city lord didn't finish his words. He touched his chin and said, "Well... I will arrange a task for that kid in a few days. It is said to be a test before becoming a wind guard. After he leaves Fengcheng, you can arrange a few people Go test and attack him... as long as you don't kill him. I want to see if that beautiful silver-haired little beauty really didn't lend him strength."

Xiu Mi clenched his hands tightly. He never expected that the city lord, who looked like a gentle elder and cared for him before, was actually full of indifference, malice and calculations in his heart.

"He has been confused by the illusion I created. In the illusion, we don't exist. From his point of view, it is you and I who have left this room." Shi Yue said lazily: "Besides, he sees What he sees, what he says, what he does, all come from his own thoughts...and expectations."

Xiu Mi did not listen to the next words of the city lord, because he was full of anger, but at the same time, he also had doubts and sadness in his heart. This sadness was because Xiu Mi thought of his parents and adoptive father who had passed away. At this moment, it was hard for him not to think, Guess one thing:

The Lord of Fengcheng whom he had revered was actually such a person, a despicable and evil person, a person who despised the life of Feng Wei under his command.So, did his adoptive father really die heroically while fighting monsters on the battlefield?Is it possible that something else caused the adoptive father's death?

When Xiu Mi's mind was full of messy thoughts, Shi Yue suddenly said: "Learn to think, young man... Maybe you are actually the one who fell into the illusion at this moment, and the city lord in front of you and what he said, It's all just an illusion."

It seems that there is indeed this possibility, Xiu Mi was surprised, but soon, this possibility was ruled out by himself, he looked at Shi Yue, and said affirmatively: "No, what I heard and saw is not an illusion."

"Why are you so sure?" Shi Yue's face was full of mischief.

"Because... I trust you more than the city lord."

"Huh?" Shi Yue laughed: "Why? As a human being, do you trust monsters more than humans? Even if you only met this monster two or three times, and only said four or five words?"

"This is my intuition." Xiu Mi honestly said: "And I understand now. You asked me before, what kind of person is the castellan in my opinion, and you created an illusion to let the castellan show his true thoughts and actions. Let me see his true colors, all you are doing is reminding me, teaching me...just like my adoptive father...for my own good."

During the conversation between the two, the city lord over there suddenly got up and walked towards the door, which immediately attracted Xiu Mi's attention.

Seeing the air in front of him, the city lord had a gentle face: "It's you...you're back here again, what's the matter?"

"Who is he talking to?" Xiu Mi forced himself to calm down, he was no longer as angry as before, he looked at the city master with disgust, and asked Shi Yue beside him.

"And me." Shi Yue said softly: "However, strictly speaking, it's me in the imagination of the city lord."

"But, why..."

"Remember what I just said?" Shi Yue repeated: "In the illusion, if I don't intervene, what he sees, says and does, all come from his personal thoughts and expectations."

"As for why he saw me, it was because he had this expectation."

Xiu Mi still didn't quite understand. Suddenly, the city lord stretched out his hand and grabbed the air in front of him...

After that, there was a series of unsightly scenes. I saw the city lord's face obsessed, intoxicated and eager to "linger" with the air. The face and temperament that could be said to be elegant and gentle, can only be seen at this moment. Describe it as obscene and obscene.

"If you're underage, don't look at this kind of thing." Shi Yue smiled at Xiumi, waved his hand casually, and hid the hot eyes in front of the two of them - and it seemed that the scene that would not stop for a short time.

He then looked at little A who was still in Xiumi's arms: "How is it, has the energy increased?"

"Oh?" Xiu Mi was taken aback: "Are you talking to me..."?

"Meow is growing!" Little A was very satisfied.

"... It's disgusting to collect energy in this way, even if it's just an illusion." Shi Yue supported his side face with one hand, shook his head and sighed.

Xiu Mi seemed to realize that the more he was talking to someone, sure enough...he looked at Little A, this cat is also a monster!

Under the influence of the illusion, the city lord gradually lost his mind.Up to this moment, he was standing opposite Shi Yue and Xiu Mi, in a state of embarrassment, his eyes were cloudy and dull, and his body was stiff and rigid.

"Now you can ask him questions." Shi Yue blinked at Xiu Mi: "Anything you want to know... Lord City Master will definitely answer truthfully."

Xiu Mi had doubts in his heart, he only hesitated for two seconds, then immediately looked at the city owner and said, "How did Ethan die?"

"Ethan? I don't know who that is." The city lord replied slowly and honestly.

Obviously, the city lord had no impression of the dead Fengwei under his opponent at all, and most of the words he said when talking with Xiu Mi before were lies.

Xiu Mi clenched his fists again: "...you have investigated me, and you know that my adoptive father Ethan used to be the wind guard of the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Yes, I have investigated all your information. I know that Ethan is your adoptive father and has been a wind guard in the mansion."

"In the war last March, what happened to those sacrificed wind guards? Did they all die in the battle?"

Xiu Mi looked at the city master coldly. When he asked this question, he subconsciously tensed his back. In fact, he himself didn't know what answer he wanted to hear——

Perhaps the best answer is that the city lord can no longer remember which wind guards participated in that war, and all those wind guards died heroically in the battle against the monsters.

"Some of those wind guards were killed by monsters," the city lord continued, "and some of them were killed by me."

Under Xiu Mi's angry and unbelievable eyes, the lord of the city explained blankly: "The demon I summoned is called Lianghime, and what she needs is vitality. I cooperated with Lianghime, and she helped me bestow a pair of illusory pairs to other humans and animals. Wings, to give them flight and a bit of wind..."

"This also means that they signed a secret contract with me. Whenever Feng Wei uses his ability, their vitality will be transmitted to me through invisible silk threads, and then I will enshrine it to Liang Ji."

"During the war in March last year, I made a mistake in command and led others into the trap of the monster. I was seriously injured. In order to avoid the monster and escape the danger, I needed to heal myself. So I managed to get it from other wind guards. A large amount of vitality, which directly led to physical exhaustion and death of some of the wind guards."

When Xiu Mi heard this, he felt a buzzing in his head, and his anger instantly ignited him, and he jumped up from his seat, clenched his fists and was about to rush towards the city lord——

But Shi Yue reached out and grabbed him.

"Calm down." Shi Yue said, "You have many chances to do it, but not now."

In this world where most of the young and middle-aged (sometimes regardless of gender) go to the battlefield to fight monsters, even though the half-grown boy Xiumi has never been to the battlefield, he has seen blood at a real price—as he once said, Is a good hunting hand.

Although he is sometimes nervous and shy, and has a kind and simple personality, he has a more persistent and determined side.

Xiu Mi restrained his hatred and sat back on his seat, but there was already a trace of cold killing intent in his eyes looking at the city lord.
