Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

Originally Zhou Lingke and Xia En went to have a look, it was just two people, and they brought pies and pizza.But as soon as this matter was brought up, it was opposed by everyone.It is one thing to go missing and find someone, but now that the weather has improved, it is another matter for them to go out alone to investigate.It is impossible for anyone to let these two people act alone like this.

After arguing with reason, they finally had to choose between McCree and Sai Lun, so they chose McCree, or it should be said that Zhou Lingke chose McCree.

"Why do you keep looking at me like that?" When packing up his things, Zhou Lingke really couldn't stand the eyes staring at his back all the time.But Xia En's gaze was not questioning, but a kind of playfulness, a kind of playfulness that made Zhou Lingke's whole body numb.

"I just think you're cute." Xia En tightened his boots, and the action of him yanking the leather rope made Zhou Lingke blink a little - such a simple action made by this man is terribly handsome.

"I admit that I am still jealous, my personal jealousy, so can you stop using the word cute?"

"But you're cute." Sean laced up both boots. "Not sarcastic, I like your jealousy. Because it makes...uh!"

Xia En lowered his head slightly and moved his feet at the same time to see if there was any discomfort in the boots. At this moment, he was suddenly grabbed by the collar and pulled so that he lost his balance. His lips were also blocked. The words disappeared from the other person's lips.And who else can do this, except Zhou Lingke?

If they had half an hour to spare, the kiss would surely lead to bed.But they didn't even have 5 minutes, so after Zhou Lingke kissed Xia En wildly for 5 minutes, he could only let him go.McCree was already waiting outside the tent, coughing several times.Both Zhou Lingke and Xia En knew that the goatee mage didn't have a cold.

When Zhou Lingke and Xia En separated, Pie, who was squatting on the side and licking his paws, immediately came over and bounced lightly on Zhou Lingke's shoulder all the way.It has become accustomed to the occasional "play" between the two masters, and can often leave at the first time to avoid the tragedy of being squeezed into a pie.Zhou Lingke wrapped his head and shoulders with a big scarf, and the pie was also wrapped in after two protests from Mimeow were invalid, so this meant that they had tidied up properly.

Zhou Lingke glanced into the crowd as he climbed up towards the pizza.Adults and older children were busy, but there were still some younger children gathered around, looking at all this curiously, and the kitten man rescued by Zhou Lingke was among them.

"If you're worried, you can take him with you," he said when McCree climbed up and sat beside Zhou Lingke.

"No, let him stay here." Zhou Lingke shook his head, maybe there will be more discoveries with that child, but he can't forget the body of the other child found in the snow.It is hard to imagine what kind of nightmare these children have experienced, so that one died naked in the snow, and the other was so frightened that he lost the ability to speak. It is better not to let him go to the place of that nightmare again, even if some It doesn't matter if some things become eternal secrets.

"Your heart is too soft."

"Can I take that as a compliment?"

"Of course, this is a compliment." McCree shook his beard. "Also, can I ask why Shane didn't come up?"

"He feels more comfortable running."

"Is it more comfortable to run?"

"Yes."

No wonder!Unless there are some special circumstances, no one will leave the seat and go for a run instead, especially if you can have sex with your lover on the back of the pizza.But the last time Shane got on Pizza's back, he paralyzed the big guy.And tried several times, same result.At that time, Xia En remembered the episode when he captured the frightened riding beast in Blackstone Castle. He and others thought it was just a coincidence, but now it seems that there are still undiscovered secrets in the two of them.

Xia En can't ride "things", including living and dead ones. If he wants to become a real "rider", he can only try those mechanical bodies.

The speed of the pizza is very fast, and it is a constant speed, which means whether it is going uphill or downhill, it maintains a high speed.And because of its huge size, most gully pizzas do not need to detour, but can pass directly. Shane also asked the lobster to help pull it over.Even if they stopped four or five times along the way, it was just to let Shane rest, or to make it easier for the two people sitting on his back.It takes only a few hours for ordinary people to reach the distance that would take several days or even longer.

"Master Nick, do you know how many people it can carry at most?" McCree was obviously getting more and more excited.

"Up to 30 people." Zhou Lingke knew what he was thinking, but he could only pour cold water on McCree. Compared with a war, 30 people were insignificant. In fact, there is only one point in the middle, and if there are people sitting in other places, it will become unbalanced, not to mention maintaining a high speed, it may be difficult to move.”

"Oh." Sure enough, McCree made a discouraged voice, but soon he realized something, "There is no need to go on a mountain road. If it is a cart, it can carry more people. If there are five thousand, no, only two thousand People, after the start of the war, can penetrate to the rear at an extremely fast speed, which will have unexpected effects! However, I am just a magician, not a general." McCree looked at Zhou Lingke, "After returning When I get to town, I'll write this up in a report, and you think it's all right, Master Nick?"

McCree's goatee was almost bristling with excitement, and he was trying to find ways to make Mantan stronger, just like his teacher.But at the same time, like other mages who had more contact with Zhou Lingke, he discovered that Zhou Lingke, a necromancer, was a pacifist.

"In a car with 1000 people, I think if you really want to do that, you have to think about a problem first."

"Are you referring to the brakes? Indeed, that would be a serious problem. But as long as the craftsmen are called together, it will not be difficult for me to solve this problem."

"No, Master McCree, I don't mean the brakes, but, I have to run around with Pizza too."

"!" McCree was stunned for a moment. He squinted his eyes as if seeking advice from Zhou Lingke, and seemed to be talking to himself, "This is indeed a very serious problem. It puts you in danger, but it cannot be said to be Bad, because this is equivalent to the two beasts acting together with a small group of troops, but it should be said that it has strengthened the strength of the team? But the beasts will not be able to attack with the large army. If they encounter an ambush, or..."

"Then just report it, Master McCree. Leave the question to the generals." Zhou Lingke felt that the question he raised seemed to have confused McCree.He was holding his goatee so hard that Zhou Lingke could even clearly see the root of his beard, and he almost tore off his beloved beard.

"Too wise!" McCree finally let go of his beard, and suddenly gave Zhou Lingke a hug with two cheek kisses, "This is definitely a wise idea! Thank you very much! Thank you very much, Master Nick."

"You're welcome, you don't have to...Master McCree! Sean! Look over there! Look over there!" It wasn't that Zhou Lingke changed the subject (although it did have that meaning), he was so excited because he suddenly saw an extremely beautiful scenery .

It was a lake, not very big, and the surface of the lake was like a huge sapphire. Moreover, they could even see a rainbow on the surface of the lake.This is unbelievable, not the lake, but the rainbow.I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, counting the [-] years on Earth plus the year they came to another world, this is the first time Zhou Lingke has seen a rainbow in his life.A real rainbow, not a picture or a TV movie.

"However, it's not time for the lake to thaw, right?" Zhou Lingke also didn't forget to think about things other than the beautiful scenery. He knew he wasn't out for an outing.It is not deep winter now, but it has not yet reached the point where the ice and snow have completely melted. At least the river on the edge of the town that summoned the pizza will soon be frozen hard again, and there is no sign of melting now, but there should be more people in the mountains. Where it is colder, the lake should not melt to the point where there is no ice left.

"That's indeed an abnormal phenomenon, but it's only relative to other places." McCree also stood up and looked in the direction Zhou Lingke was pointing at, "However, that's exactly where the teacher drew the red dot."

"Does that mean we're going there?"

"Go over."

"Then let's go..."

"Lingke!" Xia En shouted at the lobster's feet, pointing in another direction, "That's where I found you last time!"

The location Xia En pointed to was more than 20 meters away from their current location. The collapsed trees left behind after the lobster passed by and "wreaks havoc" last time were still clearly visible.But they didn't know if it was because they were in a hurry last time, or because the wind and snow blocked their sight, so they didn't find the lake at that time.

"Xia En and I will go over there first." Zhou Lingke ordered the pizza to stop and said to McCree.

"I'll go with you." McCree followed, "Maybe I can find something."

Zhou Lingke did not refuse McCree's request to participate.But he still let Pizza continue to walk towards the lake to help them open the way, and it would be much easier to walk there in a while.

"It should be the body of the child I found near here." The dead child was hacked to death with a knife, and there were other bruises on his body.So was the kitty man, again with some bruises and some frostbite on his hands and feet, but other than that he was pretty much well cared for.

"The clothes that the kitten was wearing were not enough to withstand the severe cold when you found him."

"Those frostbite injuries are new... So this means that there is a place nearby that can keep them warm!" McCree helped Shane make some additions, but the latter sentence was almost shouted by three people at the same time.

"It won't be too far, otherwise the kitten will freeze to death, not just frostbite." Zhou Lingke was a little excited, their argument is definitely not wrong, but it's just a little difficult to find this place, "But around here... "Except for the lake on the other side, there are dense forests in the other directions, and there is no place to provide two children or even more people with a place to keep out the cold.

"It's true on the ground, but...what about below the ground?" After a winter underground, Xia En's reaction was obviously faster than Zhou Lingke's.

"Wait! I heard a legend that in the time of Queen Anonalu, that is, about 5000 years ago, some people established an underground kingdom in order to avoid the queen's tyranny. According to the legend, it should be here nearby."

"5000 years ago? At that time..." Originally Zhou Lingke wanted to say, "Can the things from that time still be used now?" He suddenly thought that now is the magical world, and technological civilization cannot preserve the things of 5000 years. It doesn't mean that magic civilization can't be preserved either, "No, Mage McCree, do you mean that it is possible that those who escaped tyranny are still living underground, and what we encountered are two forgotten residents?"

"No, those people were killed by the queen's army in the end, but maybe what you found were the people who discovered the ruins and are using them. For example, smuggling. The situation of the two children is very similar to what I heard some trafficked juvenile demihumans."

"Then shall we go find a tunnel?" Zhou Lingke kicked the snow beside his feet, and dry grass and dead leaves were exposed under the snow.

"No, if it's really a similar situation, then the three of us are definitely not able to handle this matter, so we should report it as well." Xia En shook his head, and he stood closer to Zhou Lingke, because this place sounded even more unsafe.

"Okay." Zhou Lingke nodded bluntly. Instead, it was the always cautious Mage McCree. He seemed a little reluctant to leave. It seemed that the relics of the Queen's Era, such as Arnold, were full of attraction to this mage.

But two against one, they finally left there and followed the path left by Pizza towards the lake.The place that was quiet and beautiful not long ago has become dangerous in Xia En's eyes, so when Zhou Lingke suddenly rushed to the side, he was startled.

"What's the matter?" If there were any unexpected incidents, Xia En felt that he would have the idea of ​​going home, even if the two of them disagreed, he would tie them all back.Xia En was even a little angry with Master Polivi. When did this old mage play with mystery?Couldn't he have explained things clearly in his letter?

"Look at this!" Zhou Lingke didn't notice Xia En's nervousness, he was obviously a little excited now.Slap snow off a tree and peel off a piece of bark, "Here's another layer of bark!"

"And it's red? Oh! It's turning brown, too!"

I don't know what kind of tree it is. Its outermost layer of bark is the same dark brown as other trees.When this layer of bark is peeled off, the bark below is bright red, but after being in contact with the air for about 2 minutes, this layer of bark also instantly turns brown.

"Could this be the mangrove forest sung in the song? Master McCree, haven't you heard any similar legends about that song?"
