"I don't know your city lord..." Malena looked at Maya in a daze, and repeated again: "I just joined the Dark Moon Circus not long ago, and I have never been to Music Island, let alone know the city lord here. "

Malena has indeed never been to Music Island.When Maya first met this girl on a remote island, she was being chased and killed by ignorant islanders in order to protect an adult unicorn.

Not all spirit beasts can be respected by people.Except for some adventurers who need a powerful partner, most people just regard spirit beasts as objects to watch and use.

Because of the powerful energy contained in the body of the spirit beast, its spiritual power crystal core, fur, and even flesh and bones have all been refined by energy, and often have special effects that ordinary animals do not have.

The horn on the top of the unicorn's head is not only beautiful, but also has powerful magic power. Some advanced alchemy materials or magic props have unicorn horns.The number of unicorns is extremely rare, and they rarely appear in places where humans live. Both the fertility rate and the survival rate are very low.And only adult unicorns can have fully grown horns. When the islanders found such a treasure very close to them, how could they let it go?

The horn on the top of each unicorn's head is not only a weapon to protect itself, but also a fatal weakness. If the horn is broken, it is not far from death.

Malena usually goes to a stream in the forest to draw water, and accidentally meets a unicorn drinking water by the stream.She loves the beauty and nobility of the unicorn, but she didn't expect that the frequent contact with it attracted the attention of the islanders, and in the end it brought disaster to her.

The circus is a special existence in Splash, and it is the most popular entertainment in Splash.Although in the eyes of most dignitaries, the circus is only a pastime after dinner, they are still willing to give respect on the surface.For this reason, some circuses with excellent performances have a better chance of getting in touch with those powerful people than ordinary people.

The Darkmoon Circus led by Maya is the most famous in all of Spres, plus the circus has been touring all over Spres for many years, so he naturally has the capital to deal with the local dignitaries.Maya spent a lot of gold coins and made a treaty with the dignitaries. If the unicorn died of old age, the horns on its head would be a gift in return. Security was secured.

Although Malena has been in the circus for two years and has participated in countless performances, she is only 16 years old. Usually, everyone loves her very much, and almost no bad things happen to her.She subconsciously felt that this invitation made her uneasy, but she didn't understand why a high-ranking city chief invited her to perform in this ordinary circus.

Maya took almost all the large islands in Sprite, how could he not see that there was something tricky about this invitation.He immediately declined on behalf of Marlena: "Master, Marlena is still a child and doesn't know how to please the city lord. Why don't you see it like this? How about I go to the appointment for her?" , and naturally hooked up with the messenger who sent the invitation.

The envoy was not a high-spirited person, instead of pushing Maya away, he took the two gold coins from Maya with a half-smile, and tossed them in his hands. "I can't tell, your Dark Moon Faire is not only famous, but also has a lot of pockets."

Maya straightened his face and said: "Even if I, the regiment leader, want to deduct the rewards of the regiment members, I can't treat you badly, right?"

The envoy of the city lord picked up a gold coin, put it in his mouth and bit it, looked up at Maya and said, "You know how to be a man, but Miss Malena has to go today, or she has to go if she doesn't go." .”

Marlena's face turned pale immediately, and the expressions of the rest of the group members also turned ugly, apparently understanding the true intention of the city lord for inviting Marlena.

Timir felt that everyone's mood changed suddenly, especially Marlena's eyes were a little red.He couldn't help but pushed his little chest forward: "Uncle, sister Marlena doesn't want to go, can you not go?" The little white rabbit's attire hadn't changed, and before he finished speaking, he saw The messenger laughed out loud, seeming to find it very amused.

Lucius lay on the side and swept his tail boredly.In his eyes, Timir's innocence was only amused. The visitor not only had a tough attitude, but was followed by a few warriors with tiger badges on their waists. How could he give up so easily.But he wouldn't speak in a place with so many people, otherwise he would cause a lot of trouble.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." The envoy of the city lord waved his hand impatiently, and the two warriors stepped forward to support Marlena and dragged her out.

"Let go of me! Don't...ah..." Marlena struggled twice before a warrior hit her on the back of the neck.Immediately, Marlena lost all resistance and collapsed limply.Seeing this, a martial artist carried her on his shoulders and strode away.

The movements of the two fighters were very fast, and they looked like veterans, as if they were used to such activities.When the rest of the group members reacted, they were about to go up to block it but were blocked by Maya.

The envoy of the city lord smiled at Maya twice, put away the gold coins, put his hands behind his back, and walked away with his head held high.

"Everyone, don't worry, Maya will find a way." Zhuoer always speaks with weight, but at this moment when he spoke, everyone managed to calm down.

"Drow, if you make a move, those people just now can't take away Marlena at all..." The person who complained was an acrobat who secretly admired Marlena for a long time.

Timir looked at Drow incomprehensibly.Although there is only one drow, the giant's combat power is far superior to that of ordinary humans. Even if the envoy of the city lord brings a team of warriors, it may not necessarily lose.

Except for Maya, everyone's eyes were on Drow, and he smiled wryly: "Have you ever thought that if I stop them now, can Marlena be kept? I'm afraid the Dark Moon Circus hasn't left Music Island yet. All of us will be hanged."

It is indeed impossible for a drow giant to protect all the team members. Besides, giants are not invincible. They are also afraid of fire, and they will also bleed to death.

"Uncle Drow, didn't the city lord invite Sister Malena to dinner? Why didn't Sister Malena go, and he wanted to snatch her away?" Timmir was very anxious. He saw that Sister Malena was knocked out, Can't help but think of the situation when I was beaten by the warriors.Sister Marlena must be in pain, right?

However, Timmir didn't get an answer.

"The only way now is to go to the shrine enshrined in Taige City and ask the envoy for help. Only he can persuade the city lord to release Marlena." Maya's tone was a little tired.

"Maya, are you sure?" Drow looked at Maya worriedly.

"No!" Maya replied bluntly.

"The envoy is the person who guards the temple, and he will definitely help." Timir said loudly when she heard that Maya was going to find the envoy.

There was a dumbfounding expression on Maya's face: "Timer, I have to teach you one more thing. The so-called messengers of the gods come to enjoy the blessings of the gods. If they don't help you, it's called rights, but to enshrine them is ours." obligation."

Timir didn't understand Maya's words, but he still believed in his heart that the envoys guarding the temple would definitely help them.

Everyone was silent and stopped talking. This was the first time this happened in the always joyful Darkmoon Faire.

After careful planning, Maya took several members into the city early the next morning to ask for the angel, while Drow was responsible for helping the remaining members pack their luggage.

Little Liwei from Timur didn't need to do anything, so he sat outside the performance venue and waited eagerly for Maya to bring Marlena back.

"Lucius, why did Uncle Maya say that the envoy may not be able to help?" Timir knew that Maya and the others could not come back so soon, but what else could he do besides waiting?

Lucius was not in good spirits, instead of basking leisurely in the sun with his tail wagging as usual, he closed his eyes and remained motionless.If you don't pay attention, you will really think it is a blue-gray deformed stone.

Not knowing what was going on, Lucius felt that he was getting more and more irritable, and there was an inexplicable impulse rolling around in his body.When transforming into a little boy at night, such agitation will be significantly reduced.But so far, his energy is not enough to maintain the human form for a long time.

Lucius felt a little uneasy.When Timir touched him, or when they slept together at night, he couldn't help licking Timir... or biting it down to taste the flesh and blood.

Whenever this happens, there will be bursts of tingling pain in Lucius's mind, as if warning.He knew that there was a strange power sealed in his body, and because of this power, he got the face of the man in black and gained the ability to change human form.For that he couldn't hurt Timmir, not a little bit.

Since he couldn't sleep well at night, although Lucius didn't feel tired, he didn't have much energy either.He understood that Timir's question was just because he was puzzled, and he didn't really want to get any answer from him, not to mention that he couldn't answer Timir.

What Lucius's mind is full of is not some temple envoy, but the sealed dark king—the evil dragon Drake.I don't know when, Lucius began to have some memories that didn't belong to him in his mind. Every time he woke up from the dream, he knew more of Spryce's secrets - about Drake.

"Uncle Maya is back! Uncle Maya is back!!" Timir and Lucius waited until the middle, when the entire performance venue was completely demolished, before they saw Maya's figure walking from a distance .

Everyone put down their work and ran out to meet Maya, with anxious and nervous expressions on their faces.

Maya brought a few members closer, but did not bring joy to everyone.Behind them, there was no sign of Malena.

"Where's Sister Malena?" Timir trotted between Maya and the rest of the group, searched back and forth several times, but didn't see Malena.

Maya showed sad eyes uncharacteristically. He touched Timir's head and said in an almost indifferent voice: "Have you prepared your luggage? Let's leave Music Island immediately!"

No one asked why, and the rest of the group began to slowly carry out Maya's order.

Timir wanted to ask something, but Drow grabbed him and carried him on his shoulder, and took him away from Maya.

Maya stood there for a long time without moving, until the spirit beast cage that held the unicorn passed by him, he reached into the cage and touched the unicorn's head.

The unicorn neighed sadly, and big tears fell from its eyes.

But nothing can be undone...

"Timer, don't ask about Marlena anymore, Maya will be very sad." Drow rubbed Timir's head when the flying boat left the port of Music Island.

Timir's eyes were red, and he was both angry and sad: "Why did you leave Sister Malena?"

Drow looked at Timir for a long time, then sighed and said, "It's not that I want to abandon her, but that she can't go anymore...don't ask any more!"

A repressed and annoyed expression also appeared on the face of the always kind giant, and Timir was so frightened by his ferocious appearance that he dared not speak again.

"Oh, Timir, you'll understand when you grow up." Drow saw Timir backing back again and again, and then realized that he frightened the boy in front of him.

I want to grow up quickly!Timur clenched his fists and swore that he wanted to become stronger and protect Marlena!He wants to protect all members of the Darkmoon Faire.

Father, the time I want to see each other is when I'm fully grown.

A wonderful water mirror clearly shows everything that happened in Sprice, and when a slender finger is tapped, the water mirror condenses into water drops, which fall on the ground like crystals, like the sound of music. Boom.

"...you bestow happiness, you bestow joy, and everything is dedicated to you, the supreme god..." The holy and misty singing came in from outside the hall and drifted into Arian's ears.

Arian suddenly trembled, knelt on the ground, lowered his head and muttered to himself: "Father God, what do you want that child to look like?"

The author has something to say:

Wiping sweat, because I went to play...
