Chapter 23 Stone of the World!

When Meiji and Xueqin arrived in that small city, it was almost dusk.

Meji still has no idea about those who attack those who want to find something from him. He rummaged over the bodies for a while, but no clues came out, and the guy who killed his mouth secretly did not appear again. In desperation, he had to take Xue Qiner here.

The shadow of war also covers the people living in this small city. Anxiety faces can be seen everywhere, and people have long lost their pleasure.

The circus is not open, which is also a matter of course at this time.

Meggie was about to go in when someone stopped him behind him.

He turned around in astonishment and then saw a teenager with a huge sword on his back.

" Joshua? Why are you here?" Meiji looked at the magic sword teenager in surprise. There seem to be a lot of accidents today. Some people not only want to find things from him that he has never heard, but also see their childhood friends here. Since the battle at the Guai's entrance, Meji has been concerned about Joshua's life and death. At that time, Joshua was secretly attacked by Emma. Although she was lucky to be picked up by the shadow blood dragon controlled by Wu Chen before falling to the ground, Meiji was not sure whether Joshua survived.

Now, he can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he sees Joshua here.

"I'm waiting for you here," Joshua slowly walked up to him. "I think you will definitely come here to pick up Ziya so that you can wait around here."

"Have you seen Zi Ya?"

"Well, but I didn't let her see me." Joshua replied faintly.

After a moment of silence, Meiji slowly asked in a cold tone, "Why did you send someone to kill Anna?"

"I can answer your question," Joshua looked at him calmly. "But in the same way, I have questions to ask you."

"Exchange?" Meiji did not move. Obviously, the companions who have been playing together since childhood have become indifferent because of each other's positions, which makes Meiji a little heartbroken.

Xue Qiner looked at them with puzzled faces.

"What do you want to know?" Meiji asked.

"Where is the world stone in Overy's body?"

"Offer...in what?" Meiji frowned. Who the hell is this guy? Why did even Joshua ask him?

"Ofwery," Joshua said, "he is the eye demon who uses blue planetary debris to disguise himself as a god. He is dead, and the believers of the god of commerce have lost their magic. Isn't it you and your companions who killed it?

"Oh, that guy," Meiji said doubtfully, "but what is the Stone of the World?"

"You really don't know?" Joshua explained, "The reason why Overwelli was able to use the fragments of the soul that did not belong to him to give believers magic is because there is a stone of the world hidden in its body. When I found its body, its body had been cut open and someone dug the stone of the world inside.

"I did kill it," Meiji shrugged, "but I don't know what the stone of the world is, let alone run to dig its body. We just took away the blue planet fragment, but you can't take that thing even if I give it to you?"

Anna is the only person who can touch the fragments of the blue planet so far.

Joshua stared at Meji until he was sure he was not lying.

"Now, can you answer my question?" Meiji said coldly, "Why did you kill Anna? Also for the blue planet fragments?"

"No," Joshua said lightly, "we are not interested in the soul of the goddess. As you said, that thing is given to us and we can't use it. It was Su Li who wanted to kill Anna. The general promised to help Su Li kill Anna Su in exchange for Su Li's allegiance, that's all. I don't understand why Su Li killed Anna or why she didn't do it herself.

Did Suli also go to Si'er? Meiji felt that her head was getting more painful. In this case, won't even Sully become Sophia's enemy?

And that world stone, what is it? If someone quietly takes out that thing after they leave Hook Island, who is that person?

Joshua turned around and was ready to leave.

"Wait a minute," Meiji shouted, "is that stone of the world called the eye of the dragon?"

"Dragon Zuo Qing!" Joshua turned around and said, "There are five pieces of the Stone of the World, and the left eye of the dragon is hidden in Overwelli's body."

"Someone attacked me today for that Long Zhiqing. Is it also yours?"

"Is there such a thing?" Joshua shook his head, "No, it will never be our man. The search for Zuo Qing of the Dragon is entrusted to me. If any of us attack you for the Stone of the World, I will definitely know.

"Is it?" Meiji smiled bitterly. If those guys have nothing to do with Si, where do they come from? Things seem to be getting weirder.

"Are you sure you won't go in and meet Qi Ya?"

"No," Joshua asked in a low voice, "There are still people waiting for me."

"Wu Chen?" Meiji sighed. This guy seems to really fall in love with that girl and take her everywhere.

It was not until Joshua disappeared into the crowd and the sky began to darken that Meiji took Xue Qiner again and walked into the circus.

Soon, he saw the girls and the little bear who stayed with the girl.

"Mage Megi." The little bear rushed over happily.

Meggie quickly moved away, and as a result, Zi Ya's turned bear fell on Xue Qiner.

Xue Qiner was scared to cry.

It's not easy to explain to Ziya why she has to leave instead of staying with her. Fortunately, the head of the circus, the middle-aged man that Meji had met several times, also helped Meggie persuade her.

"The circus won't open again." The head of the circus told them, "No one will watch the circus anymore. It's not safe everywhere. It won't be long before there will be refugees everywhere. I also want to take these children out of here."

"Where are you going?" Meiji asked.

The other party shook his head, saying that he couldn't decide by himself, just taking a step. Fortunately, Qi Ya has made a lot of money for us in the past six months," he said. "Since I thought that there might be a war in New Asia at the beginning, I tried my best to exchange all * for gold coins, and there will be no big problems in life for the time being."

Meggie couldn't help him much, so she had to accompany him to sigh.

At the time of separation, Ziya cried with those girls, but there was nothing she could do. The circus leader took a bag of gold coins to Meiji, saying that it was Zia's salary to help perform for the circus these days, but Meiji refused. Money is not very useful to him. On the contrary, these girls who can no longer live on circus performances need it more.

With Zia and Xueqiner, Meiji walked out of the town. Although it was already dark, he still planned to go on the road overnight. It's always good to return to Alice and Anna earlier.

Anna hasn't recovered yet. Although Will will protect her... It would be bad if Will takes this opportunity to capture Anna's heart.

They rushed for a while at night and came to a town at dawn. There was a post station at the entrance of the town, and the carriage to the hot deer gathering was just ready to leave.

They got into the carriage. There are not many people in the carriage, and with them, there are still a few vacancies left.

On the way, Xue Qiner fell asleep leaning against Meiji because of sleep, while Qi Ya had been leaning against the window and kept looking outside.

Thinking back on the scene when she just left the fog girl forest with Qi Ya, Meggie couldn't help feeling a little. In these days, too many things have happened. He feels as if he has been constantly busy and unconsciously being changed by the people and things around him.

In the past, he was an ignorant scoundrel who didn't know what to do in his future and couldn't find his goal in life. Now, although he is also uncertain about the future, he at least knows that he still has a lot to do.

As for, he already has people who will do anything to protect, and he is also convinced that these people also need him. He believes that he can do a lot of things and that he has the ability to protect others.

"Meggie." Zia's voice interrupted his meditation.

He turned around and saw Zi Ya staring at him doubtfully.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I always feel that you are something different." Zia shook her head. She blinked, but didn't think too much. She just lay down sideways on the bench in the carriage and put her head on Megid's lap. "I'm going to bed."

"Hmm."

After a while.

"Meji," Ziya asked again, "Do you think Jiajia and the others will be in danger if they really fight?"

It turned out that I was worried about those friends in the circus! Meggie hugged her gently.

It seems that in the days since she left the Kyle village, Ziya has also grown up...

When Meji and the others came to the hot deer set, Alina and Anna were already waiting there. The originally quiet and orderly hot deer collection also became chaotic because of the shadow of the war. Some tried to sell the accumulated goods, and some took the opportunity to raise prices. From time to time, some people fought and there was no order.

Seeing that Alina had bought all the things she needed on the road, Meggie gathered everyone.

"I changed my mind," he said. "Let's not go to the White Sand Castle, but to the Misty Forest."

"fog girl forest?" Will looked puzzled, and Alina looked at Meggie with no understanding.

Ziya has no problem. Her home is originally in the Fog Girl Forest. To the Fog Girl Forest, it's just a home for her. Seeing that Anna Su was not in good health, she immediately asked with concern. The two girls unconsciously talked more and more energetically and woke up Xue Qiner next to her.

"Delü County is not a safe place after all," Meggie explained. "It's just in a state of temporary armistice, and no one knows how long the armistice can last. The south side of Dilu County has been controlled by the army, and the north side has been invaded by the orcs in the cold windy hills. I'm afraid that Sophia has now fought with the army and orcs and even the dark prince Panqi. At this time, the safest is the fog girl forest. The fog forest is a place where even orcs and the most capable wanderers dare not easily enter. Although there are many monsters hidden there, it doesn't matter. I know the fog forest very well, and Zia's father is the high priest Druid in the Kel village. More importantly, the natural goddess there, Deluads, like the god of war, wants to protect Anna, and she should help us.

Alina hesitated, and Megsy knew that it was because the fog forest was an extremely dangerous place in her perception. And Will thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Meg.

"Alina..." Meiji took Alicena's hand.

Alina looked at the serious expression on his face and felt a trace of warmth in her heart. Although she still has some scruples about the legendary terrible place of Fog Girl Forest, at least she believes that Meggie is really considering the safety of her and Anna. So she nodded with a smile.

From the hot deer collection to the fog forest, it takes a very long distance, and there is more preparation time. Of course, because they were worried that they would still send the next wave of assassins to take Anna's life, and they did not dare to stay in the hot deer house for too long. They quickly went north, close to the edge of the desert and towards the fog forest...

*

Shukes County.

A young man in exquisite armor slowly walked into the renovated cathedral.

Since Eulius was "pulled" as a cardinal with his wrist, it seems that in order to tell everyone that the Norswell Cathedral in the royal city of Grusidia has been abandoned. This is the new center of the Holy See. He spent a lot of money to decorate it, making it far more gorgeous than the one in the royal city. Li is also more party-party. He even held a coronation ceremony for the new king's sky here, and this glory was unimaginable even by Eurius when Sarai was alive.

But in this young man's view, although the church is richly built, it is just rich. It is not like the religious mystery in the royal city, and it can't make people see a little sacred taste from the luxurious decoration piled up through money.

From any point of view, it seems to be just a boring building made by an upstart to show off their wealth.

Some temple knights patrol the church. According to tradition, it should be the time for the church to open the "good gate" and the "evil gate" to civilians. However, in this turbulent situation, for the sake of so-called safety, Eulius has already banned civilians from entering the whole religion in his view. The sacred site of the court.

Holy! The corners of the young knight's mouth were mocked.

In the past, even if he was in a high position, Sarai in red would still personally preside over the ceremony in the cathedral in the royal city and regularly receive repentance and prayers from civilians. Now, not long after Eulyus became a red coat, he completely cut off the way for civilians and ordinary soldiers to peep. How long can the so-called sanctity and majesty without the support of civilians and soldiers last?

Those temple knights who saw the youth bowed their heads respectfully. For them, the paladin who returned from the battlefield in front of them was the hero who was truly respected by them.

The young knight slowly entered the temple, where Euris, who had been dressed in red for less than half a year, was already waiting for him. Somehow, Elyus's face was not very good, as if he had not slept for several nights.

Holding the sword, the young knight knelt down on one knee in front of Eurus in red. Rigorous etiquette has always been a necessary condition for a knight, even for paladins.

"Oh, Clapole," hardly waited for him to kneel completely, and Eulyus in red had come forward to help him up. "You don't need so much courtesy in front of me. You know, I have always appreciated you. Although you are a paladin canonized by the dead Sir Sarai and His Majesty Philip III, I have always believed that only I can truly understand your military talent. When fighting against our invading army, I also recommended you to be the commander of the Royal Army. Yes, I think you have known this for a long time. Although His Majesty the Sky has temporarily cancelled your authority due to strategic adjustment, you can trust me and I will give you the glory you deserve.

The paladin Krabol stood up and stood there without any doubt. Of course, he understood the almost negligible role that Eulius played when he became the supreme commander of the Kingdom Army, and in fact, he was not very interested in whether he could become a general of the Kingdom Army again.

He stood up at the most critical moment just because the country needed him.

Eulyus waited for a while and found that Clapole did not swear allegiance to him as he originally thought, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed. But he quickly covered up this disappointment.

"Krapor," Eulyus in red walked back and forth a few steps. He loosened the collar of his robe. "I saw His Majesty the Sky this morning and hoped that he could cancel the decision to lift your military power. Do you know what His Majesty said to me?"

Krapol did not answer this question directly, but looked at the Cardinal: "Your Excellency, are you not feeling well?"
