02 Growth

The Duanjin Mountains in midsummer is a relatively lively area. The bustle here does not refer to the bustle of human beings, but the bustle of other creatures in the Duanjin Mountains.

Because the terrain of the Duanjin Mountains is cross-sectional and parallel between valleys, except for the largest canyons used by people to trade and build cities, other areas are in a relatively primitive state, and it was quite difficult to pass through in the past.

In this midsummer, it seems that the Duanjin Mountains are more lively than at other times.

Of course, this does not mean the outbreak of major changes such as the migration of dragon beasts. On the contrary, human beings are ready to explore here to a certain extent.

As early as the first defensive battle established in the Magic Sword City, Hu Chiyo proposed to use the jungle version of the dragon riding tactic in the Broken Gold Mountains, but the implementability of this tactic was denied by reality, because even the old hunters living here have not tried to go deep into the deeper canyon.

After defeating the armies of Oga and Parsa, Hu Chiyo, who had no urgent matters at hand, has been making arrangements in this regard. After all, if you just rely on Jiancheng's sharp weapons to fight, it's no different from fighting with children.

In the counterattack of Oga. Xius rushed to make something, but for various reasons, he could not use it in the end. However, at this time, the huge thing made with so much effort is being prevented in the open space outside the Magic Sword City, and the mechanical operation is accompanied by a huge roar.

"It's so noisy. What's the end of Chiyo? This thing is noisy every day."

At this time, most people in the conference room had not come yet. Only Lucia and Hu Chiyo arrived early, saying that they had arrived early. In fact, Xius had just returned to the Magic Sword City last night. After hurriedly explaining the situation, everyone left the meeting, and then Xius said when to discuss the next plan and countermeasures tomorrow, and let everyone go back and prepare for it.

Hu Chiyo is still a careless look. He obviously looks like a young girl, but he hangs a big wine gourd. When he sat on the chair, he also knocked his leg on the handle of the chair very indecently, and his boots shook. Compared with her, Lucia is much more serious, sorting out the materials she prepared last night with gold-rimmed glasses, ready to say her plan.

At this time, there were only two of them in the conference room.

"What does it matter? When Susus gave this to me before, he just wanted to make the surrounding area where you can move bigger. Moreover, this is also beneficial and harmless for the next battle.

Early in the morning, Hu Chiyo held a big gourd and poured wine into his mouth. It seemed that her stomach was connected to an endless abyss, and she pretended to be dissatisfied.

"But this is too noisy."

"There's nothing I can do. Magic machinery is like this. If possible, I hope it won't be noisy."

Hu Chiyo responded, and both of them were a little absent-minded.

In fact, two people are more concerned about than the noise outside. The problem is that neither of them wants to take the initiative to bring it up.

After Sus came back this time, he looked very tired and decadent. Even if he hides it again and again, this cover-up is meaningless for two people who are very familiar with his habits.

But it is because he knows his temper that it is difficult to ask her directly what happened.

Last night, Lucia called Ellie to ask something, but Ellie didn't know much more than the warriors of the Magic Sword Order. She just knew that after fighting with an old man in the casino, she became like that, and then even the gods came.

And the explanation given by Moses is simpler, because a direct conflict with the senior management of Parsa led to the incident.

This explanation was too vague, but no one dared to question such a Sius last night. At that time, he was like a wounded beast. Anyone who touched him had to be enlightened by him.

The conference room is quiet. Neither of them knew what to say, so they were speechless.

At this time, the door of the conference room was pushed open. With the creak of the wooden door, Xius, dressed in blue-gray casual clothes, appeared at the door, with a towel on his shoulder. Obviously, he had gone to practice swords before.

"You have arrived. Haven't the others come yet?"

At this time, Xiusi's voice was three degrees higher than before, and the rhythm was a little faster, and he felt much more energetic than before.

But there must be a reason for such a change. Combined with his appearance last night, Hu Chiyo and Lucia have their own guesses.

"No, I asked Ellie to inform you half an hour earlier, because I have something to ask you."

Lucia said in a very serious tone. She took off her glasses and looked at him with a look that wanted to see through Seus.

When he heard this, he understood some gods. His expression was slightly stiff, but he habitually lowered his head and shook his head slightly:

"Well, what's the matter, you can ask!"

It's very refreshing, but it's very abnormal. Obviously, this feeling is not something that a dead guy like Sius can say. Maybe he didn't feel it yet, but both of them felt his wavering.

"What the hell happened to you in Kenneth? I have also received some news. Don't tell me just because you accidentally killed the owner of Kenneth. We are your people. Don't hide it from us casually.

Hu Chiyo looked at Lucia with a stunned face. Unexpectedly, this guy who usually only played assists and made small tricks ask head-on this time. What's wrong with everyone today?

But for people like Sus, only this method seems to be the most effective.

"I'm sorry."

Six said this sentence again. Compared with the decadence last night, the feeling of saying this time is quite sad.

"Don't say sorry. I don't know what you're apologizing for. Tell me the truth and I'll forgive you!"

Lucia is completely a housekeeper's posture at this moment, but for Xiusi, this feeling is not bad. He smiled bitterly, and the energetic appearance just now disappeared, but turned into fatigue from the bottom of his heart.

"Chiyo, Lucy, in fact, our enemy this time is not Palsa, but God."

...is God.

So Sius said, with a sincere sense of fatigue and powerlessness. His feeling told the two that he was definitely not talking nonsense, but...

"Wait, things are jumping too fast. Slow down. Didn't you visit Palsa? How can it be related to God's affairs?"

Lucia rubbed her temple and asked Xius to reinterpret. In response, Xius only smiled bitterly. He pulled out a chair and sat opposite the two of them.

"It's a long story, but it actually happened quickly. To put it bluntly, I met an old man in the casino. The old man seemed to have been sent by God to search the demon world. Because of pity, he found me, and then I had a fight with him in Kenneth. As a result, the old man's body was a black dragon, and the whole Kenneth was destroyed after the fight. Then it attracted a strong man named Nightkeeper. That man was very strong. I was not an opponent at all. After being defeated by her, the empty and pitiful companion who followed me came out to fight with the night watchman. Probably he used the power of the demon world! The gods appeared, and later, Ellie should have told you.

Sius simply describes the process, in which few emotional words are used, and it doesn't sound like a big deal.

It's just that if it's not a big deal, it won't make him like this.

"So, does God think we are the accomplices of the demon world and want to destroy us?"

Hu Qianyo's summary is in a concise way.

"Almost, but for some order, they don't intend to kill all of us directly, but only based on the Palsa people to destroy the Magic Sword City, and then me, who is considered to be the seed of the demon world."

It seemed that he thought of something and his tone became relaxed again, and he took a long breath:

"In fact, thinking about this matter, the gods are already very generous, but I still have some things to figure out with them, so the next thing is mainly my business. Well, I thought for a long time last night. Chiyo, you stayed for the time being to help me deal with the army's problems, and then Lucy, you took Lilia and Ellie to Belsas to hide for a while. At least I don't want the war to affect that child again.

"Do you mean, do you want us to escape first?"

Lucia's face became very ugly. She stared at Xius with very unhappy eyes. Unfortunately, Xius did not intend to give in on this matter. He looked at her without fear:

"If you can still manage commerce, maybe you can still make a difference here, but soon the city will be completely militarized, and I will mobilize all my resources to maintain the war. There are many innocent people who died in the war, but I don't want my sister's things to happen to you again.

ius said it very clearly, so clearly that Lucia had no room for refutation. In this regard, the girl is distressed and helpless.

"Chu, have you really considered my feelings? Do you really think I can just watch you face an almost defeatable war and escape to a safe place by yourself?

"I'm sorry."

Sius, who never said sorry, said these three words for the second time today:

"Anyway, I don't want to see you die because of me."

The girl was speechless. She felt her tears rolling in the corners of her eyes, but she couldn't say anything. At this moment, Xius, who stood in front of her, was no longer the wild teenager at that time, but an upright man.
