Sworn allegiance

Chapter 5

After the protoss stabilized, Wutiao embarked on the return journey alone with a long sword on his back and a bag.As if it was part of the experience, Xia You didn't use the quick and convenient teleportation magic, but instead asked Wu Tiao to traverse the Ivekat Forest according to the map and return to the capital by a relatively safe route.

"The number of demon species will not increase significantly in the near future, but the status quo cannot be maintained for too long. When the Protoss falls into chaos again, a large-scale collapse is bound to occur. At that time, even if the Sid Continent avoids disputes, no country can survive alone." So said the wizard.

As a result, Wutiao wielded the sword with one hand and cast spells with the other. After half a month of walking and stopping in the dense forest filled with bloody rain and white mist, Wutiao finally returned to the capital of Woge, which was under a high degree of martial law.

The Knights quickly got in touch with him, and Wujo was able to close the door to thank the guests after going through multiple inspections. He lay alone in a three-story single-family hut outside the temple and slacked off.

For his sudden disappearance and sudden return, the Knights expressed great concern and welcome from top to bottom.Regardless of whether he is currently the highest fighting force in the temple, the hero who saved the city from the dragon disaster has to step up to the stage to worship and applaud the people, otherwise it will be "violent to morality" for the old-fashioned knights.

Even if the head of the group came to visit in person, Wutiao would only say that he was blown away by the blast wave, lost his way for too long and took half a year to find it.The old man, who knew his temper well, shook his head and sighed for a long time, saying that this time he might not know the truth.

The leisure time for "rehabilitation" is very rare. Wu Tiao will be woken up by a well-trained biological clock every day, and a carp pounces on the kitchen to bake toast-and then finds that he has got rid of the life of primitive people.The cupboards in the apartment are full of jams, and if you really don't want to cook, you can run downstairs for 5 minutes to pick up a few snacks from Mrs. Faith's dessert shop.

Very well, I'm an idler now.

In quiet or lively afternoons, Wu Tiao always writes letters on the glass table on the balcony, and the ink is consumed quickly.He is very particular about daily necessities. The feather pens and inks he uses are all custom-made. If they are empty, he has to contact the boss half a month in advance to replace them. It is not a problem to spend a thousand gold coins back and forth.

For Gojo Satoru, who has more than enough salary and private money, the greatest pleasure every day is watching the nib that is full of ink fall on the paper, the porcelain white and yellowish fibers are soaked in layers of ink, and the dark blue halo Dye out the frame to make the next letter fat and white.

"Dear Mr. Raven" begins, "Love You Enlightenment" ends, and a few thin sheets of paper are filled with the enthusiasm of young people.He wrote what he saw and heard on the side of the road, wrote letters from the knights, and incorporated the jokes and jokes of his companions into the ink, and the hot summer of one season was vivid on the paper.

After the wax is baked off, the five strips will outline a pendant with a crow skull on the chest, tap three times with the second knuckle of the ring finger of the left hand, and whisper the name of the wizard.The letter paper on the table was drawn by the same signature, fluttered up, and suddenly disappeared with a "chi" sound.

This counts as a "successful send".Before leaving, Xia You gave the iron-bronze skull pendant to Wutiao, saying that as long as he followed the steps to call the wizard's real name, he would be able to convey the location and words to him.

At that time, Wutiao was still worrying about a confession, so he set off in a hurry after listening to a rough idea.Even though Xia You didn't show anything special after that night—he even had the intention to give Wutiao an ideological and moral lesson, saying that he was still young, and the good time of being human was still waiting in front of him, so don't be impulsive Buy it.

"Why do you always show such a sad expression?" Wujo muttered dissatisfied.

Recalling Xia You's reaction after hearing his unexpected "I like you", the silver-haired boy rolled on the bed, muttered and hugged the pillow tightly, imagining when the other party would find out that it was hidden in the bottom No.12 cabinet in the study A hundred cockroaches.

Even though it has been several months since he returned to the capital, Wujo is still very sure that he likes Xia Youjie.

This is an unfounded intuition, and it is very fresh because of this: According to Paul, the captain of the Knights who has a lot of emotional experience, there is usually no need for many reasons to like someone, and it is often just some concatenated, exciting things. Intoxicated and obsessed with details.These fragments piece together a heart that beats for you, and whenever you see that person, its beating will tell you enthusiastically that you like him.

My heart beats 11 times a day, so don't I have to endure 11 confessions every day?

At that time Wutiaowu sneered at it, but now Wutiaowu directly calls him an expert.

In all fairness, Xia Youjie is indeed very attractive.Regardless of appearance, words and deeds, or talent and conduct, he is absolutely worthy of being the dream lover of young boys and girls in the capital.Putting everything aside, the despair and silence hidden in those eyes radiate a deadly sense of mystery all the time, pushing away everything mundane.

He is like a desperate black crow, his heart is dead, but his body is still wandering around.

Detached from long and messy thoughts, time often passes quickly.In the blink of an eye, Wujo's vacation time ran out, and the prince, who had lost his game, returned to the Knights' messy slaying commission—the capital was very fragile after being devastated by the dragon disaster, and the knights had to clean up as much as possible while the protoss was stable. Demon seeds, so as not to plant future troubles for the future big battle.

During the busy break, Xia You often replied through the pendant.The wizard's letter is not long, and the handwriting is quite beautiful, and it is as strict as a real antique; but those words are obviously carefully considered, and they are always appropriate and careful. Every day, he pestered the members of the team to show off.

"Is there a problem with the royal family?"

"What's so embarrassing, they don't care about me. This group of guys may have been expecting me to raise their pigtails before, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, they received a report that I came back with all four limbs in good health. It would be a miracle if I fainted .Up to now, I haven’t even issued a formal pacification document. If you judge me, I should be regarded as half the heir anyway. Is this appropriate?”

"Leaving it alone... may not be a good thing. The protoss's stability period is not long, and the number of demons that Ivicat can observe has begun to increase again. If it spreads to the capital, it may directly affect the reconstruction and public security. You are the Knights Templar One of the members, I will definitely be called into the palace to meet the emperor at that time, I am a little worried—"

"—It doesn't matter, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. I know what you want to say, it's nothing more than 'unofficially recognized heirs have no immunity'. I didn't expect a guy as backward as you to know the etiquette system of Voge? "

"It's good that you know it in your heart. After all, I have a contract with me. If something happens, you know what to do."

The letter was received neatly, Wu Tiao gently caressed the last word, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised.Regardless of possible future conspiracies, just looking at their correspondence, isn't it similar to the long-distance relationship Captain Paul mentioned.

There was a knock on the door, and Wutiao's smile suddenly collapsed.He could recognize the noise made by the knight commander just by listening, so he walked listlessly to the entrance and opened the door.

"What's the matter?" He asked angrily, "The dragon clan entered the city and trampled the palace down? Is His Majesty the Emperor dead?"

"Shut up." The knight captain was even more tired than him, and the dark circles and bags under his eyes were almost falling under his nose. "There is an emergency in the north, and there is not enough manpower. You can deal with it."

Under the leadership of the shaky old man, Wutiao locked the door and left the house without taking anything, and rode away empty-handed.His ability is more than enough for ordinary commissions, and many times he was directly taken out of the bed by his superiors and dragged away to battle, and he didn't even bother to wear half of his armor.

"What happened again?" When he left the city gate, the cold wind blowing in front of him woke Wujo up a little.He turned his head to look at the location of the imperial city, went over the current situation in his mind, and then remembered what Xia You said in his letter, and decided to think about it later.

Contingencies up north are less critical.Dozens of evolved Pyramidosaurus besieged a truck. The guards panicked and more than half of them were killed or injured. They managed to escape to a temporary safety point before they hurriedly sent a help bell to the temple.

When Wutiao arrived with four acceleration magics, a carload of businessmen were trembling in the cellar, their hands trembling like chaff.The knight climbed in through the skylight—nearly being hit by a few swinging shotguns, but fortunately, the crowd of civilians were too scared to pull the trigger tightly.

Obviously, the caravan that can hold the urgent orders of the temple will not be ordinary people.In order to understand the situation of the loss, Gojo slapped a face that looked like a leader and asked him, and finally made him spit out some information before both cheeks swelled into apples.

They are wine merchants who came to the capital from the Lovitz Mountains. There are seven members of their family, including an eighty-year-old mother and an eight-year-old grandson.The leader said that this time His Majesty specially named his winery for the birthday banquet held by the first princess, and a group of people packed up and rushed to the capital—unexpectedly, they encountered a fearful dragon on the way, and a dozen mercenaries died. If you run away, there is nothing you can do now.

The first princess is celebrating her birthday?Wutiao rubbed his chin and thought for a while, and found that he couldn't even remember the face of the imperial sister, regardless of a few insignificant numbers.However, in such a situation, arranging a banquet arbitrarily... As expected of a "stealer", he really has a big heart.

The host with a swollen face carefully glanced at Wutiao, seeing that his hands were empty and he didn't even have a piece of armor on his body.For a while, women and children were crying endlessly, the house under the shelter of the simple barrier was trembling, and even the group of hideous monsters outside the house looked cute.

Gojo Satoru, who always hated hearing children crying, pulled the host up and threw him against the wall.This time the middle-aged man was hit hard, his head was still buzzing, and his chest suddenly felt cold.

He looked down, and was horrified to find that Wutiao had torn off his clothes, rolled two rolls of cloth and stuffed them into his ears, and finally patted the pinnae of his ear and smiled slightly, looking quite satisfied with the sound insulation effect.

Gojo Satoru was satisfied, but the host was scared and angry, and his pants were soon wet.

Putting on the earplugs made of hand-made custom-made suit lining, Wujo suddenly felt that the world was quiet.He jumped up to the big hole in the skylight that was knocked out when he came, pulled off the sun wheel necklace and tied a flower.

The sacred power soared, the necklace turned into a blade, and the knight jumped down.

The Dinosaur blew up the pot.This group of demons that had finally evolved some intelligence scrambled to jump on Wutiao, but they were cut in half before they touched him. The hard scales covering the head to the tail did not play any role.The stinky blood kept splattering out, but the five body surfaces were always surrounded by a miniature enchantment built by the breeze, blowing away everything that tried to touch it.

He didn't use any magic, just slashing with his sword seven times in and seven out, as if he was enjoying a long-lost warm-up exercise.The long sword was too sharp, and it shone brightly under the blessing of divine power. The golden light penetrated from the surface of the demon's body, and as the propelled sword cut through the muscle tissue and thick scales, it swung out from the other end of the flesh and blood.

This one-sided massacre lasted for 10 minutes, and was interrupted by a huge head half an hour before the breakthrough.The people in the room all backed away in fright, their backs slamming against the wall, wishing they could tuck their legs and feet into their hip bones to avoid getting stained with the foul-smelling dark green blood that feared a flat dragon.

The head rolled and stopped slowly in front of the host.The businessman had already rolled his eyes in fright, his chest heaved and heaved, and he was about to lose his breath.Before he could faint, Wutiao jumped down from the hole in the ceiling with a bang, landed right in front of this man, and woke him abruptly.

"Hey, you can go now." Wujo waved at him, "I used up an emergency order, and the bounty will be tripled. Remember to give me some money when you write the contract."

After speaking, he sent all the seven people in the room to the half-broken carriage, regardless of their overlapping, and chanted a spell to repair the carriage.Just as he was about to leave, Wutiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and found that the family's horse had already run away, and there was no one pulling the cart now.

So the extremely clever little prince slapped his head, cast a necromantic spell with his backhand, and revived a relatively intact Dinosaur on the ground.This thing is not very smart looking at it with a dull head, and Wutiao is not satisfied, so he resurrected another one.

As a result, this time he didn't even have a head, and the neck and above were clean, which was the mark of being smoothly chopped off by the Sun Wheel Sword.

"Anyway, puppet art doesn't need these things to use their brains." Wutiao pouted, commanding the two zombies to put on the reins one by one from left to right, and ran away rumbling with the carriage.

After confirming that the pre-set destination was the imperial city, Five Items sent the carriage away, looked back at the corpses and bloodstains crisscrossing the woodland, and was very dissatisfied with today's performance.If it was summer oil, he would be able to destroy these guys in half a second—without leaving any traces, as if they never existed.

Wujo, who finally planned to use the teleportation magic to return to the city, put aside his miscellaneous thoughts, imagined the scene of the main entrance of the temple, and recited the spell.After spinning around for a while, when he squeezed in from one end of the rubber tube, was deformedly squeezed and slid to the other end, and got out of it with healthy limbs as he wished, there was indeed a gorgeous temple church standing in front of him.

——and the low-pressure knight commander.

"What about the mission?"

"Perfectly done."

"Where's the escort target?"

"It's on the way here. Don't worry, I hired two professional cart pullers. The body has been reinforced with divine power, and the barrier is intact. I'm sure it will arrive before the banquet is over."

After speaking, without giving the knight commander time to react, he ran away with long legs.

Escaped from the unexpected mission, Wujo walked slowly into the crowd, wishing to have a good sleep before being named by the royal family to attend the birthday banquet.
