He Xichen [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 93 The Hymn of God VII
Lexiu lay down in the grass and vomited out all the backflow of stomach acid, but the rumbling thunder still echoed in his ears—no, it was a hurricane with buzzing—in short, it made him so irritable that he wanted to kill.He Xichen squatted beside him and patted him on the back gently, while raising his head and smiling flatteringly at the knights with different expressions: "If you have something to say, talk about it, we are good people!"
Lafayette hung down the tip of his sword, and before he could ask a question, Lai Xiu, who was vomiting in the dark, grabbed He Xichen's sleeve, and gritted his teeth word by word: "Who are you calling a good person?"
A strong man in the last days, an elite aristocrat, decisive in killing and attacking, Master Laixiu, who has always called himself a villain, does not think that the weak word "good man" is a compliment to him.His pale complexion was gloomy under the light of fireflies, and the gray under his eyes revealed a dead air crawling out of the grave.
Simon suddenly gasped, Lafayette also looked at Laixiu in surprise, and the members of the Knights looked at each other, seeing surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.
——The portrait of Mr. Huygens hanging in the room is somewhat similar to this fierce black-haired young man.Say how many points, that is, how many points.He doesn't look as aggressive as the one in the picture.
He Xichen didn't know what they were thinking, so he was speechless for a moment. He raised his hand and rubbed Laixiu's messy hair vigorously, and explained to the knight group, "My children are young and never do anything, so it's no wonder."
Although Lafayette is the leader of the Knights, he is not good at speaking. Simon, who is always articulate, always negotiates on his behalf, and this time is no exception.Simon has a lingering appearance, seemingly frivolous and unreasonable. Only those close to him can understand the calmness and murderous intent under the skin of this rascal.
"Good guys and bad guys are not up to you. Kid, what's your name? What's your surname? Where do you live? Are you—" Simon's bright golden eyes narrowed, "Who are you avoiding?"
The wind from the field was fresh and cool, rushing towards He Xichen like a tide, but there was no dangerous signal molecule in it.He glanced at the badge on the chest of the Knights and the flag of the sun and the sword fluttering in the night wind, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.Dmitri hadn't caught up yet, and he had also captured the Supreme Knights that he had been thinking about, so this little life finally came to an end.
"The vampire killed Father Phobos of Berry Church, and we escaped desperately." He Xichen held Lai Xiu's palm, lowered his head, as if his heart ached, and then briefly and quickly contributed all the known information to them , "The vampire who attacked the church is called Dmitry, silver-haired, red-eyed, perverted, and very strong."
The Knights couldn't be more familiar with the name Dmitry. After all, the arrest warrant that lasted for 100 years is still hanging inside the Holy See, and it hasn't been taken off yet.They haven't dealt with "Royalty" yet, but under Ophelia's advice, they naturally know his rose-like appearance, shit-like personality, and endless pseudonyms and banned books.
"How strong is it?" Lafayette asked suddenly, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
He Xichen thought for a while for three seconds, managed to pull out a figure that both parties knew, and estimated, "Equivalent to four-thirds of Eugene Descartes." How sad it is to be used as a conversion unit!
The coward Oscar shrank suddenly, and said with a sad face: "My legs are weak..."
Lai Xiu couldn't help but sneered coldly, but the voice was still on the edge of his teeth, and He Xichen gave him a sharp eye, and he could only shrink his shoulders obediently in an instant.
"Shut up, Oscar! It's too embarrassing."
"Go home and play in the mud, hehehe."
"Of course you have to stand up in this situation—" The knights looked at me and I looked at you, with bright and firm eyes: "Or the sword in your hand will be taken for nothing!"
He Xichen only wanted to use these 25 children to frighten Andre, but he didn't want them to rush forward to find short-circuits.Even if they can win, both sides will suffer. If one of these good young people falls into Andre's hands, He Xichen may not be able to sleep.
The safest way is to retreat to the nearest church, contact the surrounding armed forces, notify the Holy See headquarters, and ask for support.Andre doesn't like to face the Holy See head-on, it was the same 100 years ago, and it will be the same 100 years later.That guy cherished his life very much, as long as he got out of his control, He Xichen would have a way to escape completely.
"Retreat!" Lafayette's facial features were neat and clear, and his mind was as calm as his face.In just a few seconds, he immediately judged the strategy to avoid war and reduce unnecessary casualties.
clever.He Xichen calmed down a bit, swallowed the words he hadn't spoken yet, and concentrated on playing the role of a victim.
The knights usually make fun of it, but when something happens, they will obey the orders of the leader 100%.Everyone looked serious and nodded.
"Marcie, send an urgent message." Lafayette assigned the task in an orderly manner.
"Oh, I told you not to treat me as a correspondent." The tall man wearing glasses frowned dissatisfiedly, but a circle of platinum spells lit up under his feet instantly, "Next time I want to go to the front line, who stops me? Who is in a hurry."
Oscar trembled and said, "I'll trade with you!"
Amidst the boos, Simon's playful eyes passed over Lai Xiu and fell on He Xichen who had his hair pulled into little tangles.Although Wind Rider is a very common innate skill, it is the first time I have seen such a majestic control.
With that face similar to that of Ophelia's old friend, the Knights will risk their lives to protect Lexiu's life-don't get me wrong, even ordinary people who are irrelevant, they will definitely do their best to protect-but more What makes Simon afraid is the liar who is in danger from the beginning to the end.
Just liars.He clearly has a city in his heart, but he still pretends to be relieved.Simon has already been deceived by the flower girl on the flower street, and will not be fooled by this weak move again.
The summer night wind carries the humidity of sea salt, which is heavy, like sticky lake water.He Xichen raised his head and stared at the floating clouds, the stars came into his eyes, suddenly turned his head to Gujing and said calmly: "It's too late."
Lexiu lowered the corners of his mouth in disgust, and Simon, who was secretly on guard, felt his heart skip a beat, suddenly having some bad premonitions.
"Hey." When death was approaching, He Xichen was unreasonably calm, and blinked at Marcie, who was as tall as a flamingo, "Little friend, wait a minute and hide behind."
The 27-year-old Marci raised her eyebrows, looked down at the 20-year-old He Xichen, and compared the height difference between the two with her hand, dragging her voice harshly: "Has the little man grown up?"
The not-so-short old monster He Xichen looked up at the overly tall Marcie, with dark night in his pupils, and said, "A correspondent is a very precious asset."
They are all masters with unforgiving mouths.Simon grinned and made a grimace: "Everyone is on alert!!!" He waved his hand suddenly, and all the grass blades were uprooted, straightened like a cold thin blade, and shot back.
The long sword at Lafayette's waist was already out of its sheath, and Oscar, who was good at melee combat, outflanked the strange red eyes in the darkness.The child said that his legs were weak, and when he encountered an enemy, he would rush forward without hesitation.
"Bull the less with the more, bully others." The pitiful complaints contrasted sharply with the powerful strength, and Andre dodged Simon's attack lightly, holding the blood-stained dagger with one hand to block the incoming blade , with an old suitcase in the other hand, it looked like he had packed his luggage slowly before chasing him out.
The sparks generated by the violent collision of metals are like fireflies escaping from the blade in the night. The tacit understanding cultivated since childhood allowed the knights to quickly find their position, and 25 people surrounded Andre.He Xichen wanted to step forward to help, but was blocked by the gold chain.But the so-called wind does not need to be close to hurt people.
The two wind snakes wrapped around Andre's ankles without a sound. He paused in his stabbing movements, and gave He Xichen who was outside the encirclement a gentle smile.He Xichen's back felt cold, and he also pursed his lips and smiled back.
"It seems that minors have a lot to do with royal power." Marcie's fingertips were surrounded by flashing spells, and the information contained in them flowed continuously to the Holy See in the royal city, appearing in front of the eyes of the two people with the highest combat power today.
"Commissioner go away!" Laixiu choked back impatiently.This person is also quite ignorant of himself. As far as he can't lift his hands or shoulders, he can't even compare to a correspondent.
He Xichen questioned, "Royal Quan?"
Marci retracted her five fingers, and the incantation suddenly dimmed: "We'll talk about it if we survive tonight." He slowly drew out his two knives and stretched his neck, "Even if I'm a correspondent, I'm the strongest correspondent." This is Offee A word that Leah often said to him was not even comforting, it was better than nothing.
Overlapping white shadows flitted across the boundless field, orderly in chaos, densely packed attacks attacked Andre in the middle.His hands and feet were restrained by the wind snake, and the wheel battle seemed endless.In a situation where there was little chance of winning, thanks to He Xichen's strong support, the dawn of victory was vaguely felt.
Lafayette and Oscar, who were the first to bear the brunt, felt the deepest.The wind that hindered the sword's momentum detoured, and his body was as light as a swallow. On the contrary, Andre seemed to be bound by his hands and feet. Although he could break free easily, he was in the way.Laixiu was the only one on the battlefield who stayed out of it. He stared at the battlefield for a while before turning his eyes to He Xichen, who was dripping with sweat.
useless waste.Laixiu sneered in his heart.This weak body is destined to be unable to control power, unless it drinks human blood and dies like "Lexiu" 100 years ago.
Once in a lifetime opportunity.He lowered his eyelashes, his expression darkened.
The battle was at a stalemate, and Andre was still calm and composed. He took out a handkerchief embroidered with yellow freesia from his coat pocket, and wiped the dagger carefully. I can let you go."
Simon patted the dirt off his body and said with a smile, "Fuck you."
Frivolous as if teasing the camellia on the sideburns of a girl in the flower street.
Andre sighed, and met He Xichen's with resentful eyes.
"Mr. hero, I picked you up from the river, how do you repay me like this?"
The wind is clear and the moon is bright, the fireflies have long been scared by the awe-inspiring murderous aura and are dormant in the shallow water, and the crickets shut their mouths and dare not make any noise.He Xichen always repays his kindness, so he nodded immediately and said, "I will burn paper money for you, and there will be a ceremony for transcending salvation. You can choose Buddhism or Taoism."
He underestimated the children of the Knights. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, Murray 100 years ago was no match for any of them.
As expected of the highest knight order.Adding glory to one's body is by no means in vain.
Since there is a chance to win, He Xichen must not give an inch.
"I've already thought about the epitaph." Lexiu spread his hands, smiling hypocritically, "The despicable novelist, the shameless vampire—the tomb of Dmitri. How about it?"
"A magical pen!" He Xichen gave him a high-five in admiration, "I will find the publishing house to discuss the publication of the manuscript in your suitcase, don't worry."
Lafayette silently complained about the bad nature of the two of them. This blatant provocation was simply forcing Andre and them to live forever.He held the long sword in front of his eyes, but saw Andre froze in place, bowing his head and chanting.
"Deadline date..."
These days, there are so many brave people who dare to say that they are writers with a pen. In addition, there are not many publishing houses who dare to publish banned/books. Andre, who is not favored by the market, can't find a partner at all.In the past few days, he has gone too far and didn't write a single word. If he delays the update for no reason, he may be kicked out of the scope of cooperation by the profit-seeking bookseller.
horrible!terrible!
Andre, who loves his job and works hard, turned pale as paper in an instant, broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help shouting: "Sorry, it happened suddenly, I have to go first." He threw away the bloody dagger, and gracefully walked towards He Xichen gave a salute, "Goodbye, Mr. Actor. I'll come to you after I finish writing the manuscript."
Lafayette and the others didn't know why, but they still stood ready.He Xichen made a concerted effort to completely bury this evil relationship.But if Andre wanted to leave, they really couldn't keep him.After weighing it, he also saluted: "Don't bother, see you again."
What the hell?Stop fighting?It's too hasty!Lafayette glanced at several injured companions. Although there was a cloud of anger in his heart, he knew that he did not have the ability to retain the kingship.
Andre didn't care what they thought, and before he left, he dutifully contributed to world peace: "Mr. Hull, I hope you can regain your body." He left this vague and specious words, and suddenly Turning into a red-eyed bat, he disappeared before everyone's eyes like lightning.
The night was dark, and the sweaty shirt was stuck to the scorching skin, and it felt a little chilly after a while.With his back like a light on his back, He Xichen proposed against the probing eyes of the Knights, "Why don't you go to sleep first?"
Simon's smooth forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his brown hair stained his cheeks.He smiled, but the golden eyeballs were as cold as ice: "Let's explain the matter clearly first, you are underage."
***
When Geoffine returned to the church from the town slowly in a donkey cart, the tulips on the cross, the simple swing and the bones in front of the door had all been burned to ashes by the fire set by Andre.The white knights collected the ashes of Father Phobos, and then divided the labor to remove the crumbling beams to prevent people from being hit.
The dazed Geofen managed to come back to his senses, saw a familiar figure leaning on the ruined wall, jumped out of the donkey cart, and ran over with difficulty, holding a long-handled black umbrella: "Hull! What's going on? The house was burglarized?"
Marcie looked over, pushed down her glasses, and said eccentrically, "Oh, the time to come back is so clever." His shadow was on He Xichen's head, half-closed his eyes, and the condescending threat was self-evident .
Lai Xiu saw that he had been upset for a long time, and immediately showed a standard eight-teeth smile: "It's such a coincidence. I asked again and again, are you dementia?"
He Xichen was so sleepy that he couldn't hear what they were saying.Last night, the brains of the Knights (including Simon and Marcie) spared no effort and took turns to ask the ins and outs of the matter, and barely figured out the reason, and several people chatted back and forth around the campfire.Finally close your eyes, but the sky is bright.
To be honest, if you want to cut through the mess quickly and get rid of your worries forever, you just need to reveal the secret that Laixiu is a vampire.But He Xichen looked at his handsome silhouette like Juliet, thought of the little girl's tears, and thought of this kid's dark heart, looked forward and backward, and finally had no choice but to admit it.
"You rest first, they leave it to me to deal with it." He Xichen leaned close to Lai Xiu and whispered in Lai Xiu's ear. The two of them were back to back, with the golden chain hanging from their necks on their shoulders.He didn't know that because of the portrait in Ophelia's house, the Knights at least had enough tolerance for Lexiu.
The bonfire flickered until dawn, and a few night owls chatted about everything from Andre's suitcase to the fragrance of the girl in the street, from motivation to murder.Rhetoric also pays attention to the basic rules, Simon set him up, why didn't He Xichen set them.
"Mr. Huygens likes to punish us for copying books. I can count how many moths there are in the bookshelves in the library." Simon shook his hands, "The rue and camphor you mentioned are useless, I copy books at night , while listening to the creaking sound in the wood, I was afraid that it would collapse and hit my head."
"Last year, the library cleaned out all the books," Marcie said, picking up the branches in the campfire, "not many books are complete."
He Xichen clicked his tongue regretfully: "I still want to visit."
"According to regulations, anyone who is not a clergyman is forbidden to enter." Lafayette said.
"I'll go and ask His Excellency the Pope, isn't it okay?" He Xichen thought to himself that he would pick a bouquet of dog's tail flowers and tie them beautifully with a bow.This is still risking his life, after all, bribing a priest is not a small crime.
"The premise is that you can see him." Lafayette doesn't speak easily, and always hits the nail on the head when he speaks.
Simon gnawed on the compressed biscuit: "Crazy Eugene, King Quan Andre, with your luck, you may succeed if you work harder. Tsk tsk, these capitals are enough for you to brag on the street for a year. If your mouth is sweeter, the girls will be happy." I will obediently follow you."
"Don't make fun of me." He Xichen just smiled, the fire light reflected on the back of his hand, flickering, "I dare not go to see them."
What he knew were Murray and Ophelia 100 years ago, not the current His Excellency the Pope and the Supreme Paladin Commander.People often say that things are different and people are different, they are still good friends, but they are no longer the young master, priest and eldest lady who were in love with each other.
……
……
The morning sun dispelled the mist, making the black marks and stains on the white military uniform more obvious.Simon drove the plants to cover up the burnt smell. Oscar dug out an iron box from the ruins and broke the lock. It was full of golden jewels.
He Xichen yawned in a daze, his eyelashes were heavily closed on his lower eyelids, he tried to lift them up again, and then wobbled to cover his gloomy pupils.He moved his lips and muttered, "Don't scare the nun girl, she doesn't know anything." After speaking, he tilted his head and fell asleep directly on Lexiu's shoulder.
Laixiu froze for a moment, as if his vertebrae were frozen into ice, but he didn't push him away.Marcie made fun of herself, and when she saw Lafayette walking towards Sister Grofein who was staggering, she didn't stay long and turned her head away.
"Is Hull all right? What's wrong with him? Is he sick?" The old nun was still holding a basket of fragrant pears in her arms, and she was relieved to find that He Xichen was breathing evenly.
On weekdays, the corners of Laixiu's mouth are always curved in an inscrutable way, showing [-] points of evil and contempt, but today he has no expression on his face, just sitting on the broken wall indifferently: "Come here."
Geoffine had seen strong winds and waves, and knew that this was not a good time to ask questions, so he stepped on bricks and climbed up the wall to sit on his left.The glare of the sun caused He Xichen to frown uncomfortably. She handed over the black umbrella and said softly, "Block the light for Hull."
...a lifeless human being.
The umbrella is so big that it just covers three people inside.It divides the world into two halves. The church not far away is full of dust, like a bustling city, but the days under the umbrella are quiet and secluded.
He Xichen's right hand hung from the shadows to the light, as if there were a few fireflies on his fingertips.Laixiu was holding a black umbrella and seemed a little depressed, but when he looked closely, he still looked indifferent.Griffin put the fruit basket on his lap and wiped the peels with his handkerchief.
"Why didn't you see the priest?"
"died."
Her hand paused, and she couldn't help sighing.
***
A unique incantation is engraved on the rose gold chain, which can only be removed with bare hands unless it is a person of Andre's level.Lafayette was obviously helpless, he swung his long sword and slashed several times, but left only shallow marks.As a last resort, He Xichen and Laixiu had no choice but to follow the Knights to the Royal City to find a special priest to dispel the spell.
The communication document from the Holy See headquarters issued an order to return, and the knight order terminated the inspection process ahead of schedule, but the inspection log, work report, and emergency report on Andre still had to be written and submitted in accordance with the format, and almost missed such as Single cells like Oscar are busy crying.
"Nun, what are your plans next?" The small river in front of the church was almost dried up by the fire, leaving only a shallow layer of water on the river bed.He Xichen threw the pear core into the grass, spread out his palm and carefully picked up a handful of clear water.
Geoffine sat on the embankment, his gaze was slightly higher than He Xichen and Laixiu.Carrying an empty fruit basket and looking at the orange-red roofs of the town, she said with a little wistfulness, "I'm used to tossing and turning, so don't worry about me."
The Knights were not far away to investigate the traces of Phobos's life. The lazy Simon and Marcie were condemned by everyone, and there was an unreal noise on the silent river embankment.
"Sister, can you write poetry?" He Xichen suddenly raised his head and asked.
Laixiu leaned against the slope, opened his eyes and cast a glance at him.
"How can a bard not have a beautiful and romantic movement?" He Xichen described the unknown journey as a flower, "If Geofen likes to write hymns to the gods, I will sing praises to the spirits and praise the gods. If there are strange stories, Let's find a lively tavern, leave only one lamp, and slowly tell the story to the traveler."
"I don't have any ink in my lower chest, I don't have all the pentatonic notes, and I can barely understand the rhythm." He Xichen seemed a little shy, "Do you want to go with me, a useless bard, nun?"
How can anyone speak like this?
Lexiu turned his head and looked at the withered weeds, but did not see Geoffine's moved expression.
Before he died of illness, he had only one friend, the gardener's daughter, sixteen or seventeen years old, who often smiled at him through the window.Later, the gardener moved, and the little girl left a dandelion on the windowsill.Later, he died, drifted outside for more than 100 years, and inexplicably returned to his original body.
Laixiu is no longer panic and cowardly. Those poor people who dare to offend and pity him think that he needs a weak redemption? The word "redemption" also made him sick.If you really have the heart of redemption, then don't scream out when your heart is eaten by a hundred ghosts.
But He Xichen's outstretched hand was open and frank, not on a whim, nor arrogant.He is just inviting the lonely nuns to embark on a long journey together, equal and pure.
"If you confide these words to the noble ladies, they may run away with you regardless." Grofeyn, who was always alone, took his hand and said with a smile, "I am not the exclusive poet of heroes, a thief, a beggar , whores, they also exist in my chapters."
He Xichen hugged her gently, his warm chest rose and fell slowly: "Then we will go to the Ozizis Great Forest in the east, maybe the shadow of elves will appear in your poems. I will be in charge of playing the harp, and Natasha will sing the songs." For those three little girls, I even found Mr. Housekeeper."
"Haha, sounds like a teenager's adventure."
"It's a young man's adventure." He Xichen's tone was too natural, he quickly grabbed Lai Xiu's tie, and pulled him towards him, "Here, this is our housekeeper."
Lai Xiu, who hadn't recovered from his senses, blinked twice stupidly, and shook his hand suddenly: "What crazy words are you talking about!?"
"Hey, do you want to eat for nothing? I don't support idlers." He Xichen frowned in feigned displeasure.
Laixiu was short of breath, and the red anger stretched from the bottom of his eyes to the end of his eyes.But this situation is equivalent to He Xichen directly holding a gun to his temple, and shooting him in the head if he doesn't agree.Simply outrageous!mean!Shameless!
"Go to the Lion Hotel in the town to find Grant, and we will meet outside the royal city." He Xichen ignored his fierce inner struggle, carried Geoffine down from the river bank, and took out three golden honey ambers in his pocket Pearl, put it in her hand, "Buy a carriage, go slowly, don't worry."
"Where did you get the money?" Lai Xiu was so angry that his nose was not his nose, his eyes were not his eyes, and asked critically.
He Xichen smiled sheepishly, "I picked it up from Father Phobos' treasure chest."
Well, it's Thief's Poetry.Geoffine said in his heart.
***
After handing over the affairs to the local lord, the Knights did not stay for too long, and set off at noon.The mighty team snaked a white line on the plain, and at the end was a slow donkey cart.There was a bag of pickled jerky and a basket of bright red apples in the car. Two black-haired youths kept bickering, barely keeping up with the large group.
The morning after they left, Groveyn and Grant took the three little girls to the market to buy gifts.The market was crowded with people, Natasha was short, and was bumped by an eyeless adult. The album she was holding in her hand fell to the ground, and she was stepped on, leaving dusty shoe prints.
Natasha suddenly cried out in distress, and was about to pick it up, but was taken a step ahead.It was a very handsome man, with black hair and black eyes, and wearing a deer hat, he looked like a gentleman about to go hunting.
He casually took off the neatly ironed handkerchief on his chest, and carefully wiped off a page of painting that had been trampled on. The painting showed a curly-haired little boy poking his head out of the window, with a smile bigger than the sunflower in his arms. Warm, signed "Capulet" on the lower right corner of the page.
"Here you go, little girl." The man handed the album to Natasha, glanced playfully at the two little bats following her, and then disappeared into the crowd.
"very scary."
"very scary."
Kakaro and Forti's faces were pale, and their copper-blue pupils trembled slightly.
The four-wheel-drive carriage stopped in front of the ruins of Berry Church, the tall horse chewed the hay and snorted wearily.
"There is no trace of Laishu." Nicholas walked around, his leather shoes were covered with black ash, but it didn't affect his demeanor at all.He stuffed a taffy into his mouth and said regretfully, "We seem to be a step late and passed him by."
The smoky green dress made the skin around Juliet's neck white. In order to make herself look better, she painted red lips in a rare way: "It's always one step slower, we are always one step slower." She seemed to be about to cry , but in the next second it turned into a stern color, "Keep chasing! I want to make sure that Lexiu...he really came back to life..."
***
The knights walked for seven days, crossing plains, fields, and villages, and the city gradually became prosperous.On the wide bluestone street, the pure white knights led the black horses, walking steadily, but the shabby donkey cart at the end was a bit of a sight.
"Wow Kaka, you don't know that the most dangerous time was when I found a shelf of novels in Mr. Huygens' room! It wasn't a book on history, philosophy and theology, it was a novel!" Simon fell at the end of the line, dancing and expressing his panic , "Her eyesight has deteriorated in the past few years, and she has to wear glasses to read clearly. But when she was on the training ground, she beat people so hard that her bones were broken."
In the past few days, he and He Xichen have successfully become bad friends, chatting all over the world, and even made an appointment to take him to Huajie to experience the world of adults after arriving in Wangcheng.
He Xichen expressed his gratitude to Bumin, and I have been an adult for a long time, thank you.
"She liked it when she was young," Lai Xiu, who listened to their chatter all the way without making a sound, only found it annoying, suddenly looked over, "Didn't you already know it?"
He Xichen paused, and his eyelashes trembled twice unconsciously.Laixiu turned his head away calmly, and didn't speak any more, as if he was just interrupting.
There was a lot of voices, and the children on both sides of the street cheered and followed the team, looking around curiously.The pretty little girl stared at the handsome knights passing by one after another, chattering and blushing.
When the lights came on, the Knights almost occupied the entire hotel.They changed their spotless military uniforms into loose casual clothes, sat at the bar drinking brandy and tequila, and tacitly talked about some men's topics.
"Come here, underage, I'll teach you how to drink." Marcie called to He Xichen and Lai Xiu like a puppy.This flamingo has changed his temper a bit after drinking, but is more bossy than usual.
He Xichen bit the straw, finished drinking the soda water in the glass, lowered his eyebrows and raised his eyes, looking really like a minor.Laixiu pointed his middle finger directly, and then drank the fruit wine in front of him in one gulp.
"Hahahahaha!" He Xichen patted the hardwood bar and laughed brazenly.The others were happy to see Marcie deflated, and even the coward Oscar laughed mercilessly.Simon's wine glass was mixed with all kinds of drinks, adjusted to evil colors, and he swallowed it with his head raised.
The orange light illuminates the youthful faces of the young people warmly and lovelyly, and even the occasional two dirty words are like sediment in a wine bottle, hazy yet beautiful.
"It's best not to drink if you're underage." A serious voice suddenly sounded from behind, He Xichen looked back, and Lafayette nodded to him coldly.
The button of the white shirt is always tied to the top, and the natural ascetic face makes the head of the Knights look a bit more mature than the older but frivolous Simon.He didn't like the pain of a splitting headache after drinking, and the team also needed someone to stay awake, so he ordered a glass of ice water and sat in the corner out of place.
He Xichen raised his eyebrows, pulled the reluctant Laixiu around the carnival drunkards, and came to the seat in front of the small round table: "Mr. Captain, this trip will trouble you." While on the way, Lafayette Always open the way at the head of the team, but the two of them fished from behind and failed to meet each other.
"It's just on the way." Lafayette looked serious and business-like, and the noisy tavern suddenly became a quiet office, "Andre is a vampire who stalks after smelling blood, and the Holy See can provide you with shelter. If If you want to join the Holy See, I can write you a letter of recommendation."
The recommendation letter is equivalent to a guarantor. If the person recommended commits a crime, even he will be implicated.But Lafayette was willing to take the risk.That mighty wind and keen coping ability, as long as it takes a few more years of polishing, it may be able to shake his position as the heir to the highest knight.
"Leader." He Xichen looked solemn, as if he had made a major decision after deliberation, and stopped Lai Xiu's finger tapping the glass wall, "You are poaching the corner of the bard guild!"
He played the cards unreasonably, which made Lafayette stunned for a moment.
However, He Xichen put his arms around Lai Xiu's shoulders, and lowered his voice seriously: "It's not a big problem for me to hear what you said, please don't let other bards hear it, or those narrow-minded people can make up a dozen or two words." Ten different stories satirize you."
Open your eyes and talk nonsense!Lexie cursed secretly.
Lafayette was not stupid, so he naturally understood what he meant.The hot air was full of intoxicating alcohol. He unbuttoned the first button, but he did not hand over the letter of recommendation in his pocket after all.
In the dead of night, homeless people on the street wrapped up their tattered clothes, lying in front of the bakery next to the hotel, smelling the sweet aroma of baked bread, and began to fall asleep sweetly.Occasionally, one or two figures walked by, but they failed to disturb his sweet dreams.
Young people seem to have endless topics to talk about—the Earl’s rose garden, Her Royal Highness’s beautiful handwriting, the garbage leader of the Second Knight Order—they put down their wine glasses consciously while pressing the line of drinking, which happened to be The head is hot, and you can wake up after washing your face.
"Go upstairs and sleep! Don't let Mr. Huygens catch you, or you will die!" Simon's words were full of alcohol, and his golden eyes were brighter than usual. He waved his hand at He Xichen and joked, "Underage, follow up quickly, be careful stepping on the air!"
Everyone burst out laughing, and the hotel owner couldn't help curling his lips.He put the glass upside down on the cup holder, with a "click", as if he pressed the pause button instantly, the laughter stopped suddenly, only the gurgling water and the howling cold wind blowing in from the crack in the door.
"Boss, hide under the counter." He Xichen reminded with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, the door of the hotel slowly opened, the bell hanging in front of the door swayed pleasantly, and the knights had already taken out the long swords hidden under the seats.Gags are one thing, and constant vigilance is an essential virtue of a knight.
The sound of the leather shoes being kicked was clear and clean, and gradually approaching, the silver buttons on the windbreaker first appeared in everyone's eyes, from bottom to top, and finally a pale and handsome face, but there was a little harmless red scar between the eyebrows .The pair of blue-gray eyes swept across the vigilant people in the room without focus, and finally fixed on the disgusting Laixiu.
"Sorry, it's closed." He Xichen blatantly pinned the boss's badge to his collar.
"It's you." Eugene turned his ears slightly, and suddenly pursed his lips and smiled.He remembered He Xichen's voice, they shared a magnificent story in the stone room, and then this unpleasant human being caught his Master Laixiu away by surprise.
The dense vampire army on the street was all wearing black cloaks, with a pair of blood-red eyes under the cloaks.The knights in the small hotel were waiting in full force, but Eugene took off the ruby ring on his ring finger and threw it into He Xichen's arms: "I bought this store."
"Add an extra string of emerald necklaces, I'll just think about it." He was still teasing, but Lai Xiu suppressed it
Lafayette hung down the tip of his sword, and before he could ask a question, Lai Xiu, who was vomiting in the dark, grabbed He Xichen's sleeve, and gritted his teeth word by word: "Who are you calling a good person?"
A strong man in the last days, an elite aristocrat, decisive in killing and attacking, Master Laixiu, who has always called himself a villain, does not think that the weak word "good man" is a compliment to him.His pale complexion was gloomy under the light of fireflies, and the gray under his eyes revealed a dead air crawling out of the grave.
Simon suddenly gasped, Lafayette also looked at Laixiu in surprise, and the members of the Knights looked at each other, seeing surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.
——The portrait of Mr. Huygens hanging in the room is somewhat similar to this fierce black-haired young man.Say how many points, that is, how many points.He doesn't look as aggressive as the one in the picture.
He Xichen didn't know what they were thinking, so he was speechless for a moment. He raised his hand and rubbed Laixiu's messy hair vigorously, and explained to the knight group, "My children are young and never do anything, so it's no wonder."
Although Lafayette is the leader of the Knights, he is not good at speaking. Simon, who is always articulate, always negotiates on his behalf, and this time is no exception.Simon has a lingering appearance, seemingly frivolous and unreasonable. Only those close to him can understand the calmness and murderous intent under the skin of this rascal.
"Good guys and bad guys are not up to you. Kid, what's your name? What's your surname? Where do you live? Are you—" Simon's bright golden eyes narrowed, "Who are you avoiding?"
The wind from the field was fresh and cool, rushing towards He Xichen like a tide, but there was no dangerous signal molecule in it.He glanced at the badge on the chest of the Knights and the flag of the sun and the sword fluttering in the night wind, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.Dmitri hadn't caught up yet, and he had also captured the Supreme Knights that he had been thinking about, so this little life finally came to an end.
"The vampire killed Father Phobos of Berry Church, and we escaped desperately." He Xichen held Lai Xiu's palm, lowered his head, as if his heart ached, and then briefly and quickly contributed all the known information to them , "The vampire who attacked the church is called Dmitry, silver-haired, red-eyed, perverted, and very strong."
The Knights couldn't be more familiar with the name Dmitry. After all, the arrest warrant that lasted for 100 years is still hanging inside the Holy See, and it hasn't been taken off yet.They haven't dealt with "Royalty" yet, but under Ophelia's advice, they naturally know his rose-like appearance, shit-like personality, and endless pseudonyms and banned books.
"How strong is it?" Lafayette asked suddenly, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
He Xichen thought for a while for three seconds, managed to pull out a figure that both parties knew, and estimated, "Equivalent to four-thirds of Eugene Descartes." How sad it is to be used as a conversion unit!
The coward Oscar shrank suddenly, and said with a sad face: "My legs are weak..."
Lai Xiu couldn't help but sneered coldly, but the voice was still on the edge of his teeth, and He Xichen gave him a sharp eye, and he could only shrink his shoulders obediently in an instant.
"Shut up, Oscar! It's too embarrassing."
"Go home and play in the mud, hehehe."
"Of course you have to stand up in this situation—" The knights looked at me and I looked at you, with bright and firm eyes: "Or the sword in your hand will be taken for nothing!"
He Xichen only wanted to use these 25 children to frighten Andre, but he didn't want them to rush forward to find short-circuits.Even if they can win, both sides will suffer. If one of these good young people falls into Andre's hands, He Xichen may not be able to sleep.
The safest way is to retreat to the nearest church, contact the surrounding armed forces, notify the Holy See headquarters, and ask for support.Andre doesn't like to face the Holy See head-on, it was the same 100 years ago, and it will be the same 100 years later.That guy cherished his life very much, as long as he got out of his control, He Xichen would have a way to escape completely.
"Retreat!" Lafayette's facial features were neat and clear, and his mind was as calm as his face.In just a few seconds, he immediately judged the strategy to avoid war and reduce unnecessary casualties.
clever.He Xichen calmed down a bit, swallowed the words he hadn't spoken yet, and concentrated on playing the role of a victim.
The knights usually make fun of it, but when something happens, they will obey the orders of the leader 100%.Everyone looked serious and nodded.
"Marcie, send an urgent message." Lafayette assigned the task in an orderly manner.
"Oh, I told you not to treat me as a correspondent." The tall man wearing glasses frowned dissatisfiedly, but a circle of platinum spells lit up under his feet instantly, "Next time I want to go to the front line, who stops me? Who is in a hurry."
Oscar trembled and said, "I'll trade with you!"
Amidst the boos, Simon's playful eyes passed over Lai Xiu and fell on He Xichen who had his hair pulled into little tangles.Although Wind Rider is a very common innate skill, it is the first time I have seen such a majestic control.
With that face similar to that of Ophelia's old friend, the Knights will risk their lives to protect Lexiu's life-don't get me wrong, even ordinary people who are irrelevant, they will definitely do their best to protect-but more What makes Simon afraid is the liar who is in danger from the beginning to the end.
Just liars.He clearly has a city in his heart, but he still pretends to be relieved.Simon has already been deceived by the flower girl on the flower street, and will not be fooled by this weak move again.
The summer night wind carries the humidity of sea salt, which is heavy, like sticky lake water.He Xichen raised his head and stared at the floating clouds, the stars came into his eyes, suddenly turned his head to Gujing and said calmly: "It's too late."
Lexiu lowered the corners of his mouth in disgust, and Simon, who was secretly on guard, felt his heart skip a beat, suddenly having some bad premonitions.
"Hey." When death was approaching, He Xichen was unreasonably calm, and blinked at Marcie, who was as tall as a flamingo, "Little friend, wait a minute and hide behind."
The 27-year-old Marci raised her eyebrows, looked down at the 20-year-old He Xichen, and compared the height difference between the two with her hand, dragging her voice harshly: "Has the little man grown up?"
The not-so-short old monster He Xichen looked up at the overly tall Marcie, with dark night in his pupils, and said, "A correspondent is a very precious asset."
They are all masters with unforgiving mouths.Simon grinned and made a grimace: "Everyone is on alert!!!" He waved his hand suddenly, and all the grass blades were uprooted, straightened like a cold thin blade, and shot back.
The long sword at Lafayette's waist was already out of its sheath, and Oscar, who was good at melee combat, outflanked the strange red eyes in the darkness.The child said that his legs were weak, and when he encountered an enemy, he would rush forward without hesitation.
"Bull the less with the more, bully others." The pitiful complaints contrasted sharply with the powerful strength, and Andre dodged Simon's attack lightly, holding the blood-stained dagger with one hand to block the incoming blade , with an old suitcase in the other hand, it looked like he had packed his luggage slowly before chasing him out.
The sparks generated by the violent collision of metals are like fireflies escaping from the blade in the night. The tacit understanding cultivated since childhood allowed the knights to quickly find their position, and 25 people surrounded Andre.He Xichen wanted to step forward to help, but was blocked by the gold chain.But the so-called wind does not need to be close to hurt people.
The two wind snakes wrapped around Andre's ankles without a sound. He paused in his stabbing movements, and gave He Xichen who was outside the encirclement a gentle smile.He Xichen's back felt cold, and he also pursed his lips and smiled back.
"It seems that minors have a lot to do with royal power." Marcie's fingertips were surrounded by flashing spells, and the information contained in them flowed continuously to the Holy See in the royal city, appearing in front of the eyes of the two people with the highest combat power today.
"Commissioner go away!" Laixiu choked back impatiently.This person is also quite ignorant of himself. As far as he can't lift his hands or shoulders, he can't even compare to a correspondent.
He Xichen questioned, "Royal Quan?"
Marci retracted her five fingers, and the incantation suddenly dimmed: "We'll talk about it if we survive tonight." He slowly drew out his two knives and stretched his neck, "Even if I'm a correspondent, I'm the strongest correspondent." This is Offee A word that Leah often said to him was not even comforting, it was better than nothing.
Overlapping white shadows flitted across the boundless field, orderly in chaos, densely packed attacks attacked Andre in the middle.His hands and feet were restrained by the wind snake, and the wheel battle seemed endless.In a situation where there was little chance of winning, thanks to He Xichen's strong support, the dawn of victory was vaguely felt.
Lafayette and Oscar, who were the first to bear the brunt, felt the deepest.The wind that hindered the sword's momentum detoured, and his body was as light as a swallow. On the contrary, Andre seemed to be bound by his hands and feet. Although he could break free easily, he was in the way.Laixiu was the only one on the battlefield who stayed out of it. He stared at the battlefield for a while before turning his eyes to He Xichen, who was dripping with sweat.
useless waste.Laixiu sneered in his heart.This weak body is destined to be unable to control power, unless it drinks human blood and dies like "Lexiu" 100 years ago.
Once in a lifetime opportunity.He lowered his eyelashes, his expression darkened.
The battle was at a stalemate, and Andre was still calm and composed. He took out a handkerchief embroidered with yellow freesia from his coat pocket, and wiped the dagger carefully. I can let you go."
Simon patted the dirt off his body and said with a smile, "Fuck you."
Frivolous as if teasing the camellia on the sideburns of a girl in the flower street.
Andre sighed, and met He Xichen's with resentful eyes.
"Mr. hero, I picked you up from the river, how do you repay me like this?"
The wind is clear and the moon is bright, the fireflies have long been scared by the awe-inspiring murderous aura and are dormant in the shallow water, and the crickets shut their mouths and dare not make any noise.He Xichen always repays his kindness, so he nodded immediately and said, "I will burn paper money for you, and there will be a ceremony for transcending salvation. You can choose Buddhism or Taoism."
He underestimated the children of the Knights. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, Murray 100 years ago was no match for any of them.
As expected of the highest knight order.Adding glory to one's body is by no means in vain.
Since there is a chance to win, He Xichen must not give an inch.
"I've already thought about the epitaph." Lexiu spread his hands, smiling hypocritically, "The despicable novelist, the shameless vampire—the tomb of Dmitri. How about it?"
"A magical pen!" He Xichen gave him a high-five in admiration, "I will find the publishing house to discuss the publication of the manuscript in your suitcase, don't worry."
Lafayette silently complained about the bad nature of the two of them. This blatant provocation was simply forcing Andre and them to live forever.He held the long sword in front of his eyes, but saw Andre froze in place, bowing his head and chanting.
"Deadline date..."
These days, there are so many brave people who dare to say that they are writers with a pen. In addition, there are not many publishing houses who dare to publish banned/books. Andre, who is not favored by the market, can't find a partner at all.In the past few days, he has gone too far and didn't write a single word. If he delays the update for no reason, he may be kicked out of the scope of cooperation by the profit-seeking bookseller.
horrible!terrible!
Andre, who loves his job and works hard, turned pale as paper in an instant, broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help shouting: "Sorry, it happened suddenly, I have to go first." He threw away the bloody dagger, and gracefully walked towards He Xichen gave a salute, "Goodbye, Mr. Actor. I'll come to you after I finish writing the manuscript."
Lafayette and the others didn't know why, but they still stood ready.He Xichen made a concerted effort to completely bury this evil relationship.But if Andre wanted to leave, they really couldn't keep him.After weighing it, he also saluted: "Don't bother, see you again."
What the hell?Stop fighting?It's too hasty!Lafayette glanced at several injured companions. Although there was a cloud of anger in his heart, he knew that he did not have the ability to retain the kingship.
Andre didn't care what they thought, and before he left, he dutifully contributed to world peace: "Mr. Hull, I hope you can regain your body." He left this vague and specious words, and suddenly Turning into a red-eyed bat, he disappeared before everyone's eyes like lightning.
The night was dark, and the sweaty shirt was stuck to the scorching skin, and it felt a little chilly after a while.With his back like a light on his back, He Xichen proposed against the probing eyes of the Knights, "Why don't you go to sleep first?"
Simon's smooth forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his brown hair stained his cheeks.He smiled, but the golden eyeballs were as cold as ice: "Let's explain the matter clearly first, you are underage."
***
When Geoffine returned to the church from the town slowly in a donkey cart, the tulips on the cross, the simple swing and the bones in front of the door had all been burned to ashes by the fire set by Andre.The white knights collected the ashes of Father Phobos, and then divided the labor to remove the crumbling beams to prevent people from being hit.
The dazed Geofen managed to come back to his senses, saw a familiar figure leaning on the ruined wall, jumped out of the donkey cart, and ran over with difficulty, holding a long-handled black umbrella: "Hull! What's going on? The house was burglarized?"
Marcie looked over, pushed down her glasses, and said eccentrically, "Oh, the time to come back is so clever." His shadow was on He Xichen's head, half-closed his eyes, and the condescending threat was self-evident .
Lai Xiu saw that he had been upset for a long time, and immediately showed a standard eight-teeth smile: "It's such a coincidence. I asked again and again, are you dementia?"
He Xichen was so sleepy that he couldn't hear what they were saying.Last night, the brains of the Knights (including Simon and Marcie) spared no effort and took turns to ask the ins and outs of the matter, and barely figured out the reason, and several people chatted back and forth around the campfire.Finally close your eyes, but the sky is bright.
To be honest, if you want to cut through the mess quickly and get rid of your worries forever, you just need to reveal the secret that Laixiu is a vampire.But He Xichen looked at his handsome silhouette like Juliet, thought of the little girl's tears, and thought of this kid's dark heart, looked forward and backward, and finally had no choice but to admit it.
"You rest first, they leave it to me to deal with it." He Xichen leaned close to Lai Xiu and whispered in Lai Xiu's ear. The two of them were back to back, with the golden chain hanging from their necks on their shoulders.He didn't know that because of the portrait in Ophelia's house, the Knights at least had enough tolerance for Lexiu.
The bonfire flickered until dawn, and a few night owls chatted about everything from Andre's suitcase to the fragrance of the girl in the street, from motivation to murder.Rhetoric also pays attention to the basic rules, Simon set him up, why didn't He Xichen set them.
"Mr. Huygens likes to punish us for copying books. I can count how many moths there are in the bookshelves in the library." Simon shook his hands, "The rue and camphor you mentioned are useless, I copy books at night , while listening to the creaking sound in the wood, I was afraid that it would collapse and hit my head."
"Last year, the library cleaned out all the books," Marcie said, picking up the branches in the campfire, "not many books are complete."
He Xichen clicked his tongue regretfully: "I still want to visit."
"According to regulations, anyone who is not a clergyman is forbidden to enter." Lafayette said.
"I'll go and ask His Excellency the Pope, isn't it okay?" He Xichen thought to himself that he would pick a bouquet of dog's tail flowers and tie them beautifully with a bow.This is still risking his life, after all, bribing a priest is not a small crime.
"The premise is that you can see him." Lafayette doesn't speak easily, and always hits the nail on the head when he speaks.
Simon gnawed on the compressed biscuit: "Crazy Eugene, King Quan Andre, with your luck, you may succeed if you work harder. Tsk tsk, these capitals are enough for you to brag on the street for a year. If your mouth is sweeter, the girls will be happy." I will obediently follow you."
"Don't make fun of me." He Xichen just smiled, the fire light reflected on the back of his hand, flickering, "I dare not go to see them."
What he knew were Murray and Ophelia 100 years ago, not the current His Excellency the Pope and the Supreme Paladin Commander.People often say that things are different and people are different, they are still good friends, but they are no longer the young master, priest and eldest lady who were in love with each other.
……
……
The morning sun dispelled the mist, making the black marks and stains on the white military uniform more obvious.Simon drove the plants to cover up the burnt smell. Oscar dug out an iron box from the ruins and broke the lock. It was full of golden jewels.
He Xichen yawned in a daze, his eyelashes were heavily closed on his lower eyelids, he tried to lift them up again, and then wobbled to cover his gloomy pupils.He moved his lips and muttered, "Don't scare the nun girl, she doesn't know anything." After speaking, he tilted his head and fell asleep directly on Lexiu's shoulder.
Laixiu froze for a moment, as if his vertebrae were frozen into ice, but he didn't push him away.Marcie made fun of herself, and when she saw Lafayette walking towards Sister Grofein who was staggering, she didn't stay long and turned her head away.
"Is Hull all right? What's wrong with him? Is he sick?" The old nun was still holding a basket of fragrant pears in her arms, and she was relieved to find that He Xichen was breathing evenly.
On weekdays, the corners of Laixiu's mouth are always curved in an inscrutable way, showing [-] points of evil and contempt, but today he has no expression on his face, just sitting on the broken wall indifferently: "Come here."
Geoffine had seen strong winds and waves, and knew that this was not a good time to ask questions, so he stepped on bricks and climbed up the wall to sit on his left.The glare of the sun caused He Xichen to frown uncomfortably. She handed over the black umbrella and said softly, "Block the light for Hull."
...a lifeless human being.
The umbrella is so big that it just covers three people inside.It divides the world into two halves. The church not far away is full of dust, like a bustling city, but the days under the umbrella are quiet and secluded.
He Xichen's right hand hung from the shadows to the light, as if there were a few fireflies on his fingertips.Laixiu was holding a black umbrella and seemed a little depressed, but when he looked closely, he still looked indifferent.Griffin put the fruit basket on his lap and wiped the peels with his handkerchief.
"Why didn't you see the priest?"
"died."
Her hand paused, and she couldn't help sighing.
***
A unique incantation is engraved on the rose gold chain, which can only be removed with bare hands unless it is a person of Andre's level.Lafayette was obviously helpless, he swung his long sword and slashed several times, but left only shallow marks.As a last resort, He Xichen and Laixiu had no choice but to follow the Knights to the Royal City to find a special priest to dispel the spell.
The communication document from the Holy See headquarters issued an order to return, and the knight order terminated the inspection process ahead of schedule, but the inspection log, work report, and emergency report on Andre still had to be written and submitted in accordance with the format, and almost missed such as Single cells like Oscar are busy crying.
"Nun, what are your plans next?" The small river in front of the church was almost dried up by the fire, leaving only a shallow layer of water on the river bed.He Xichen threw the pear core into the grass, spread out his palm and carefully picked up a handful of clear water.
Geoffine sat on the embankment, his gaze was slightly higher than He Xichen and Laixiu.Carrying an empty fruit basket and looking at the orange-red roofs of the town, she said with a little wistfulness, "I'm used to tossing and turning, so don't worry about me."
The Knights were not far away to investigate the traces of Phobos's life. The lazy Simon and Marcie were condemned by everyone, and there was an unreal noise on the silent river embankment.
"Sister, can you write poetry?" He Xichen suddenly raised his head and asked.
Laixiu leaned against the slope, opened his eyes and cast a glance at him.
"How can a bard not have a beautiful and romantic movement?" He Xichen described the unknown journey as a flower, "If Geofen likes to write hymns to the gods, I will sing praises to the spirits and praise the gods. If there are strange stories, Let's find a lively tavern, leave only one lamp, and slowly tell the story to the traveler."
"I don't have any ink in my lower chest, I don't have all the pentatonic notes, and I can barely understand the rhythm." He Xichen seemed a little shy, "Do you want to go with me, a useless bard, nun?"
How can anyone speak like this?
Lexiu turned his head and looked at the withered weeds, but did not see Geoffine's moved expression.
Before he died of illness, he had only one friend, the gardener's daughter, sixteen or seventeen years old, who often smiled at him through the window.Later, the gardener moved, and the little girl left a dandelion on the windowsill.Later, he died, drifted outside for more than 100 years, and inexplicably returned to his original body.
Laixiu is no longer panic and cowardly. Those poor people who dare to offend and pity him think that he needs a weak redemption? The word "redemption" also made him sick.If you really have the heart of redemption, then don't scream out when your heart is eaten by a hundred ghosts.
But He Xichen's outstretched hand was open and frank, not on a whim, nor arrogant.He is just inviting the lonely nuns to embark on a long journey together, equal and pure.
"If you confide these words to the noble ladies, they may run away with you regardless." Grofeyn, who was always alone, took his hand and said with a smile, "I am not the exclusive poet of heroes, a thief, a beggar , whores, they also exist in my chapters."
He Xichen hugged her gently, his warm chest rose and fell slowly: "Then we will go to the Ozizis Great Forest in the east, maybe the shadow of elves will appear in your poems. I will be in charge of playing the harp, and Natasha will sing the songs." For those three little girls, I even found Mr. Housekeeper."
"Haha, sounds like a teenager's adventure."
"It's a young man's adventure." He Xichen's tone was too natural, he quickly grabbed Lai Xiu's tie, and pulled him towards him, "Here, this is our housekeeper."
Lai Xiu, who hadn't recovered from his senses, blinked twice stupidly, and shook his hand suddenly: "What crazy words are you talking about!?"
"Hey, do you want to eat for nothing? I don't support idlers." He Xichen frowned in feigned displeasure.
Laixiu was short of breath, and the red anger stretched from the bottom of his eyes to the end of his eyes.But this situation is equivalent to He Xichen directly holding a gun to his temple, and shooting him in the head if he doesn't agree.Simply outrageous!mean!Shameless!
"Go to the Lion Hotel in the town to find Grant, and we will meet outside the royal city." He Xichen ignored his fierce inner struggle, carried Geoffine down from the river bank, and took out three golden honey ambers in his pocket Pearl, put it in her hand, "Buy a carriage, go slowly, don't worry."
"Where did you get the money?" Lai Xiu was so angry that his nose was not his nose, his eyes were not his eyes, and asked critically.
He Xichen smiled sheepishly, "I picked it up from Father Phobos' treasure chest."
Well, it's Thief's Poetry.Geoffine said in his heart.
***
After handing over the affairs to the local lord, the Knights did not stay for too long, and set off at noon.The mighty team snaked a white line on the plain, and at the end was a slow donkey cart.There was a bag of pickled jerky and a basket of bright red apples in the car. Two black-haired youths kept bickering, barely keeping up with the large group.
The morning after they left, Groveyn and Grant took the three little girls to the market to buy gifts.The market was crowded with people, Natasha was short, and was bumped by an eyeless adult. The album she was holding in her hand fell to the ground, and she was stepped on, leaving dusty shoe prints.
Natasha suddenly cried out in distress, and was about to pick it up, but was taken a step ahead.It was a very handsome man, with black hair and black eyes, and wearing a deer hat, he looked like a gentleman about to go hunting.
He casually took off the neatly ironed handkerchief on his chest, and carefully wiped off a page of painting that had been trampled on. The painting showed a curly-haired little boy poking his head out of the window, with a smile bigger than the sunflower in his arms. Warm, signed "Capulet" on the lower right corner of the page.
"Here you go, little girl." The man handed the album to Natasha, glanced playfully at the two little bats following her, and then disappeared into the crowd.
"very scary."
"very scary."
Kakaro and Forti's faces were pale, and their copper-blue pupils trembled slightly.
The four-wheel-drive carriage stopped in front of the ruins of Berry Church, the tall horse chewed the hay and snorted wearily.
"There is no trace of Laishu." Nicholas walked around, his leather shoes were covered with black ash, but it didn't affect his demeanor at all.He stuffed a taffy into his mouth and said regretfully, "We seem to be a step late and passed him by."
The smoky green dress made the skin around Juliet's neck white. In order to make herself look better, she painted red lips in a rare way: "It's always one step slower, we are always one step slower." She seemed to be about to cry , but in the next second it turned into a stern color, "Keep chasing! I want to make sure that Lexiu...he really came back to life..."
***
The knights walked for seven days, crossing plains, fields, and villages, and the city gradually became prosperous.On the wide bluestone street, the pure white knights led the black horses, walking steadily, but the shabby donkey cart at the end was a bit of a sight.
"Wow Kaka, you don't know that the most dangerous time was when I found a shelf of novels in Mr. Huygens' room! It wasn't a book on history, philosophy and theology, it was a novel!" Simon fell at the end of the line, dancing and expressing his panic , "Her eyesight has deteriorated in the past few years, and she has to wear glasses to read clearly. But when she was on the training ground, she beat people so hard that her bones were broken."
In the past few days, he and He Xichen have successfully become bad friends, chatting all over the world, and even made an appointment to take him to Huajie to experience the world of adults after arriving in Wangcheng.
He Xichen expressed his gratitude to Bumin, and I have been an adult for a long time, thank you.
"She liked it when she was young," Lai Xiu, who listened to their chatter all the way without making a sound, only found it annoying, suddenly looked over, "Didn't you already know it?"
He Xichen paused, and his eyelashes trembled twice unconsciously.Laixiu turned his head away calmly, and didn't speak any more, as if he was just interrupting.
There was a lot of voices, and the children on both sides of the street cheered and followed the team, looking around curiously.The pretty little girl stared at the handsome knights passing by one after another, chattering and blushing.
When the lights came on, the Knights almost occupied the entire hotel.They changed their spotless military uniforms into loose casual clothes, sat at the bar drinking brandy and tequila, and tacitly talked about some men's topics.
"Come here, underage, I'll teach you how to drink." Marcie called to He Xichen and Lai Xiu like a puppy.This flamingo has changed his temper a bit after drinking, but is more bossy than usual.
He Xichen bit the straw, finished drinking the soda water in the glass, lowered his eyebrows and raised his eyes, looking really like a minor.Laixiu pointed his middle finger directly, and then drank the fruit wine in front of him in one gulp.
"Hahahahaha!" He Xichen patted the hardwood bar and laughed brazenly.The others were happy to see Marcie deflated, and even the coward Oscar laughed mercilessly.Simon's wine glass was mixed with all kinds of drinks, adjusted to evil colors, and he swallowed it with his head raised.
The orange light illuminates the youthful faces of the young people warmly and lovelyly, and even the occasional two dirty words are like sediment in a wine bottle, hazy yet beautiful.
"It's best not to drink if you're underage." A serious voice suddenly sounded from behind, He Xichen looked back, and Lafayette nodded to him coldly.
The button of the white shirt is always tied to the top, and the natural ascetic face makes the head of the Knights look a bit more mature than the older but frivolous Simon.He didn't like the pain of a splitting headache after drinking, and the team also needed someone to stay awake, so he ordered a glass of ice water and sat in the corner out of place.
He Xichen raised his eyebrows, pulled the reluctant Laixiu around the carnival drunkards, and came to the seat in front of the small round table: "Mr. Captain, this trip will trouble you." While on the way, Lafayette Always open the way at the head of the team, but the two of them fished from behind and failed to meet each other.
"It's just on the way." Lafayette looked serious and business-like, and the noisy tavern suddenly became a quiet office, "Andre is a vampire who stalks after smelling blood, and the Holy See can provide you with shelter. If If you want to join the Holy See, I can write you a letter of recommendation."
The recommendation letter is equivalent to a guarantor. If the person recommended commits a crime, even he will be implicated.But Lafayette was willing to take the risk.That mighty wind and keen coping ability, as long as it takes a few more years of polishing, it may be able to shake his position as the heir to the highest knight.
"Leader." He Xichen looked solemn, as if he had made a major decision after deliberation, and stopped Lai Xiu's finger tapping the glass wall, "You are poaching the corner of the bard guild!"
He played the cards unreasonably, which made Lafayette stunned for a moment.
However, He Xichen put his arms around Lai Xiu's shoulders, and lowered his voice seriously: "It's not a big problem for me to hear what you said, please don't let other bards hear it, or those narrow-minded people can make up a dozen or two words." Ten different stories satirize you."
Open your eyes and talk nonsense!Lexie cursed secretly.
Lafayette was not stupid, so he naturally understood what he meant.The hot air was full of intoxicating alcohol. He unbuttoned the first button, but he did not hand over the letter of recommendation in his pocket after all.
In the dead of night, homeless people on the street wrapped up their tattered clothes, lying in front of the bakery next to the hotel, smelling the sweet aroma of baked bread, and began to fall asleep sweetly.Occasionally, one or two figures walked by, but they failed to disturb his sweet dreams.
Young people seem to have endless topics to talk about—the Earl’s rose garden, Her Royal Highness’s beautiful handwriting, the garbage leader of the Second Knight Order—they put down their wine glasses consciously while pressing the line of drinking, which happened to be The head is hot, and you can wake up after washing your face.
"Go upstairs and sleep! Don't let Mr. Huygens catch you, or you will die!" Simon's words were full of alcohol, and his golden eyes were brighter than usual. He waved his hand at He Xichen and joked, "Underage, follow up quickly, be careful stepping on the air!"
Everyone burst out laughing, and the hotel owner couldn't help curling his lips.He put the glass upside down on the cup holder, with a "click", as if he pressed the pause button instantly, the laughter stopped suddenly, only the gurgling water and the howling cold wind blowing in from the crack in the door.
"Boss, hide under the counter." He Xichen reminded with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, the door of the hotel slowly opened, the bell hanging in front of the door swayed pleasantly, and the knights had already taken out the long swords hidden under the seats.Gags are one thing, and constant vigilance is an essential virtue of a knight.
The sound of the leather shoes being kicked was clear and clean, and gradually approaching, the silver buttons on the windbreaker first appeared in everyone's eyes, from bottom to top, and finally a pale and handsome face, but there was a little harmless red scar between the eyebrows .The pair of blue-gray eyes swept across the vigilant people in the room without focus, and finally fixed on the disgusting Laixiu.
"Sorry, it's closed." He Xichen blatantly pinned the boss's badge to his collar.
"It's you." Eugene turned his ears slightly, and suddenly pursed his lips and smiled.He remembered He Xichen's voice, they shared a magnificent story in the stone room, and then this unpleasant human being caught his Master Laixiu away by surprise.
The dense vampire army on the street was all wearing black cloaks, with a pair of blood-red eyes under the cloaks.The knights in the small hotel were waiting in full force, but Eugene took off the ruby ring on his ring finger and threw it into He Xichen's arms: "I bought this store."
"Add an extra string of emerald necklaces, I'll just think about it." He was still teasing, but Lai Xiu suppressed it
