Who lost this loyal dog?

Zhang Ze turned around, but found nothing.

He stood up, thumped his old waist, which was not sore at all, and wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, panting.

Without the system, the presence of another person is stronger than ever.

There is no way to escape like this.

During the intermission, Zhang Ze leaned against the tree with his arms folded and one foot on the tree trunk. For the first time, he looked at that person carefully.

In other words, he should be an NPC, right?

I saw that he was only dressed in a solid black suit, both in style and in appearance, which were extremely simple, not as particular as the three layers on the inside and outside of his body.

A black cloth scarf on the head covers all the hair, and a black triangular face scarf covers the face tightly, and only a pair of black and white eyes can be seen at a glance.

And those eyes...

Those calm and unwavering eyes are just one glance, even a person as stubborn as Zhang Ze can clearly feel that there are surging emotions hidden under the seemingly quiet and dark eyes.

This emotion was so strong that he felt flustered and short of breath for no reason when he saw it. Before he could react, he had already involuntarily looked away from that person's eyes.

I always feel that he has done something to be sorry for that person, so under such a clean and pure gaze, I feel flustered, short of breath, and guilty.

But immediately, Zhang Ze felt uneasy: he went through all his memories of more than 20 years, and he was absolutely sure that this person was the stranger he met for the first time.

It's just an NPC, what the hell is he guilty of!

Thinking of this, he immediately straightened his neck and stared back confidently.

This time, it was the man in black's turn to tremble slightly at the corners of his eyes, silently lowering his eyelids, avoiding his gaze.

Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, his eagerness to compete and win was lost, leaving the ground empty.

He snorted softly, turned his eyes away, and continued to search for his gift bag absent-mindedly.

Reluctantly, he searched around the stream again, trampled the land from the beginning to the end, but didn't even see a hair of the gift bag.Zhang Ze was silent for a long time, and had to focus on the NPC who suddenly appeared.

He circled the NPC twice, barely remembering the identity of this person.

Probably... Shadowguard?Dark guard?

In short, it is one of the many kinds of miscellaneous soldiers in the game. Its function is to add a little obstacle to the protagonist's promotion. The attack power of a single player is not strong, but the degree of trouble increases linearly with the increase of the number of people.

Moreover, Zhang Ze recalled the faint call from this person at the very beginning. Standing in front of the NPC, he half-hesitantly asked the lingering question in his mind: "You...know me?"

As the words fell, the person who had been standing still, like a sculpture, came to life, bent down, touched his forehead to the ground, and made a big salute: "This subordinate has seen the master."

He actually bypassed that question and avoided answering it.

has a problem!

With Zhang Ze's brain, it took all his wisdom to detect something wrong, and he couldn't figure it out even if he guessed deeper.

"You get up first." Zhang Ze said.

You can't make people kneel on the ground all the time.

The ground of the forest is covered with dead branches and leaves of unknown thickness, and the water vapor is dense in it, bringing a cold and damp feeling.

If he knelt down again, this man might not be able to bear it.

Unexpectedly, the man in black misunderstood what he meant, he just straightened up, quietly waiting for the next order, without any intention of standing up.

......

Forget it, just kneel down.

Zhang Ze seized every opportunity to escape, ran to the side and poked the system frantically in his mind: "System system system system system..."

After a series of deaths, the cold system also felt a little headache: "Stop screaming!"

"Tong," Zhang Ze ignored the irritability of the system, and cut straight to the point, "Is this NPC a novice gift pack?"

The system is succinct: "Exactly."

"!!" This time it was Zhang Ze who was furious, "Shouldn't you give me a peerless secret book and a peerless weapon? Give it to me personally, can it be exchanged for food or help me dominate the martial arts world!"

Still such a strange person.

Zhang Ze quietly glanced in that person's direction.

The system added: "He is a shadow guard."

"Even if it's a shadow guard, it won't work! And you can't eat it!" Zhang Ze didn't accept this explanation.

Ha ha.

The system sneered blankly, but had to maintain a correct attitude: "Once the package is distributed, the system will not be responsible for its follow-up. Please keep it safe for the host."

Head-to-head is not enough, Zhang Zeneng bends and stretches, and immediately switches routines, half pleading and half threatening: "Change it, change it, I promise to complete the task well."

But the system just said: "Once the gift package is issued, the system will not be responsible for its follow-up. Please keep it safe for the host."

Probably because Zhang Ze's face was too ugly, the system paused, and then said: "If the host is really unwilling to accept the novice gift package, the system can destroy it."

"destroy!"

A flock of birds startled in the forest, and the sound of flapping wings came, and Zhang Ze was startled when he actually called out that word.

He quickly shut up and asked in his mind: "How to destroy it?"

"That's it."

The system signaled Zhang Ze to look over.

Zhang Ze followed the system's guidance and turned his head.

The man in black who knelt there silently had an extra three-inch short dagger in his hand at some point.

The sharp-eyed Zhang Ze even saw clearly that a thin blood line had been drawn on the man's neck, but his hand holding the knife was as steady as a rock, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging. Cut your own throat.

What a joke!

What a joke, what a joke, what a joke!

Zhang Ze's eyes widened suddenly, and the corners of his eyes were almost cracked.

He yelled, "Stop!"

With a broken roar, Zhang Ze rushed to the man in black as fast as he could, not daring to grab the knife directly, so he could only wave his arms impotently and furiously: "Put down the knife for me!"

The man in black steadily took the knife away, inserted it into the scabbard with his backhand, held it in front of Zhang Ze with both hands, and said in a low voice, "Master."

His hoarse voice was like a piece of extremely rough sandpaper, rubbing against Zhang Ze's soft heart, making him feel tight and uncomfortable.

Dog system!

Zhang Ze secretly spat: "Okay, okay, I'll accept the gift bag."

Now, at least he got a shadow guard for nothing.If it is really going to be destroyed, won’t there be nothing left?

Besides, it's human life anyway...

Zhang Ze sneaked a glance at the man in black who was kneeling on the spot and not looking sideways.

At this distance, under the blessing of deep internal strength, he could clearly see the man's trembling eyelashes, his chest rising and falling steadily with his breathing, and the cut on his neck.

It's all because the game is too realistic. If this shadow guard is really destroyed like this, he really has a bad conscience.

Since you can't be cruel, you can only compromise.

Zhang Ze waved his hand in a moody manner, completely losing his temper with the system: "That's it. Anyway, it's not once or twice that you cheated."

"I wish the host a happy mission."

After sending the system away, Zhang Ze took a deep breath and walked towards the NPC.

As partners who may fight side by side in the future, at least let's get to know each other first and introduce a name or something.

He pushed away the dagger that was handed to him, which almost became a murder weapon, and asked, "What's your name?"

Following this question, the tense atmosphere between the two men visibly calmed down.

Zhang Ze suddenly remembered, Shadow Guard...doesn't have a name?

Back then, he only focused on fighting monsters and leveling up, but now he only vaguely remembers this kind of miscellaneous soldiers. The names on their heads are all small soldiers, small soldiers, or guards. He can't call this NPC "shadow guard one shadow guard one". , Don't say it carefully, it sounds too shabby.

Halfway through his question, he changed his words: "If you don't have a name, I'll pick one for you. Don't worry, I'm pretty good at picking names. Zhang Zhaocai, Li Jinbao, Wang Jianguo, Zhao Goudan, which one do you like?"

Unexpectedly, the man in black bent down again, put his forehead on the ground, and said, "This subordinate is named Tianyi."

"Heaven, Tianyi?" Zhang Ze was not annoyed when the proposal was turned back. He folded his arms around his chest, touched his chin with one hand, and nodded pretendingly, "Good name, good name."

Before he finished sighing, he heard Tian Yi say: "This subordinate offended the master, please punish the master."

Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, and couldn't figure out why Tianyi had offended him.

As the master, Zhang Ze didn't know, but Tianyi himself knew it well.

In the final analysis, shadow guards are just tools of aristocratic families.

The most important thing about tools is two points, easy to use and obedient.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, his performance just now was far from being obedient.

It is reasonable to be punished for this.

Even so, he didn't want to change it, he didn't want to give up the name.

"Ah, no," Zhang Ze still didn't want to understand how the matter developed to this point. Facing Tianyi's request for punishment, he just waved his hands instinctively, "It's nothing, that, you get up first."

Without waiting for Tianyi to make a move, Zhang Ze, who had learned to be smart, started directly this time, pulling Tianyi's arm and pulling him up.

Looking at the person who suddenly jumped a lot taller in front of him, he only realized later that his actions just now were really rude to a person he had never seen before.

Zhang Ze seemed to be scalded, he let go of his hands quickly, took a step back, and opened the distance with Tianyi, so embarrassed that he didn't know how to put his hands and feet, his eyes looked here and there, and finally fell unconsciously on the person in front of you.

Standing up, Tian Yi was about the same height as his current body, with broad shoulders, thin waist, and long legs.The black dress was worn on Tianyi's body in a docile manner, which perfectly outlined the body line and added a restrained and mysterious temperament, which looked pleasing to the eye.

In Yan Gou Zhang Ze's mind, a thought flashed: this "novice gift package" is actually not bad.

Zhang Ze didn't speak, and the shadow guard Tianyi didn't seem to be the type to enliven the atmosphere.

There was a suffocating silence between the two of them.

There is no way to keep silent like this.

With a cough, Zhang Ze suppressed the furious feeling in his heart and forced himself to speak: "That...God, Tianyi,"

Inadvertently, he met those pure black eyes again, momentarily at a loss for words, what he wanted to say was immediately thrown out of the blue.

Zhang Ze clearly realized that Tianyi was delighted and looking forward to calling his name.

Why?What is Tianyi looking forward to?

do not know.

After not hearing the next order for a long time, Tianyi whispered in confusion: "Master?"

"Ah, oh." Zhang Ze regained his composure, and looked back at this moment, Tianyi's eyes were clear, and there was nothing but the obvious loyalty.

Did he see it wrong?

He must have read it wrong.

Zhang Ze shook his head violently, shaking off the complicated thoughts in his mind.

Just at this time, the sound of "Gululu" came, and he was hungry.

Regardless of the embarrassment of being rude in front of others, Zhang Zewan secretly breathed a sigh of relief as if he had just received an amnesty, and went down the donkey: "I'm hungry."

It was a thrilling day, and he finally had time to breathe. He couldn't help but relax the nerves that had collapsed for a long time. within reach.

After only a cursory glance, he didn't dare to look again, Tianyi restrained the thought of getting closer, bowed his head in response, and left in a hurry.
