chapter 9 Before entering the city

Just when Anubis was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, the sound of two people arguing came from another room. Before anyone could react, a person rushed out of the room. The man looked about the same age as the knight, about thirty years old, with yellow hair and a slightly unkempt appearance. The man glanced at everyone in the room, then walked out of the house angrily, slamming the door with a bang.

At this time, the Flame Knight also walked out of the room with a sullen look on his face, and shouted at the people outside the door: "Don't come back if you can."

The footsteps of people outside the door became weaker and weaker.

Merric Ince, who was sitting aside, looked at the scene in front of him and wondered what was going on. Jakub and the dwarf village chief were also sitting there blankly. Anubis, who was about to go to eat with the little wolf in his arms, looked surprised and said, "What is going on? I thought there was no one else in this room except us and the mother of the Flame Knight. Who was that person just now?"

"A waste." The knight returned coldly.

At this time , Hailey and the knight's mother in the kitchen heard the quarrel and the slamming of the door, and hurried out of the kitchen. The knight's mother said to the knight, "What's wrong, Bula, who's out?"

When the knight heard his mother asking questions, his tone gradually softened: "Jimmy is out."

"You guys quarreled again."

"I just said a few words to him, but he is like this. Leave him alone and let him go out on his own. He will have to walk the road in the future by himself. Let him think about it."

"He is your brother, so why should you be angry with him? When you are away, if we, the old couple, are sick, it is your brother who will take care of us. Although he does not do his job properly, we believe that he will change in the future. " Many years ago, you told me that he would change, but he is almost thirty, and he is still a grown man who relies on his parents to support himself. He is not ashamed, but he always thinks he is pretentious. Anyway, I can't stand this kind of lazy thing. of people.”

"Well, then you should be gentler and talk to him. Why bother arguing?"

"If you don't scold him a few words, he will always fall like this."

The knight and his mother had a disagreement, and the others couldn't get in the conversation at all, and they didn't know what to do. In the end, Hailey walked away from the knight's mother, pursed her lips, and said angrily to the knight: "You are just a knight. , how can you talk to your mother in this tone."

When the knight heard what Hailey said, he felt that the tone of his conversation with his mother was becoming more and more intense. This was inappropriate. There were so many outsiders in the room, so he stopped talking.

Everyone was awkwardly silent for more than ten seconds. Merric Ince wanted to break this uncomfortable situation, so he said to Anubis who was holding the little wolf: "Anubis, look at your little war pet. The wolf is still hungry, aren't you hungry too?" Then he turned to the direction of the knight's mother, smiled at her and said, "Auntie, is the food ready? We are all hungry."

Hailey also quickly took the knight's mother's hand, showing the girl's well-behaved side, and said to the knight's mother: "Yes, Auntie, we have one more dish to prepare. Don't let them wait too long. These young people are You get hungry easily, let's go, aunt. Okay?" Then Hailey gently shook the knight's mother's arm. Seeing Hailey He's coquettish look, the knight's mother also smiled. She glanced at the knight and said in Hailey walked back to the kitchen together.

The meal was finally on the table, but the knight's brother still hadn't come back. The atmosphere during the dinner was not so natural. Everyone was thinking about something. After the meal, the knight's mother took the remaining food into the kitchen and waited for Jimmy to come back at any time so that he could heat the food for him.

At night, Merric Ince, Anubis and Jakub slept in the knight's room together. The knight's father went out to do business and would not come back until tomorrow morning, so the knight went out to find Jimmy at his mother's repeated request.

On the bed, Jakub fell asleep on the pillow, while Merric Ince tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He was going to Shengyu College tomorrow. He was a little excited, but also a little uneasy, because for so many years, he had never He has never lived alone. Whether he was attending a junior college in the royal city or an intermediate college in the middle country of Grangu, his mother always accompanied him. This time he went to a senior college to study. If it weren't for his mother's physical discomfort, His father wouldn't let his mother travel while she was sick, so his mother had to come with him. After not seeing his mother for so many days, Merric Ince really missed her a little. Of course, there was another thing that made Merric Ince even more unable to sleep peacefully. He was afraid of seeing the black energy. Although the black energy helped him defeat the giant bear during the day, he always felt that this black energy was not a good thing in his heart. .

Anubis was holding Little Wolf in his arms and accidentally saw Merric Ince staring at the moon outside the window. He seemed to be thinking about something and couldn't help asking: "Merric, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Aren't you asleep too?"Merric Ince turned his head to Anubis and asked.

"I can't sleep anyway, let's talk."Anubis suggested.

"Jakub is sleeping so soundly, won't it disturb him?"Merric Ince was afraid of waking up Jakub, who was sleeping soundly. Jakub was injured during the day and needed a rest now.

"It's okay, this guy is asleep and won't wake up even if there is thunder."Anubis looked at Jakub, who was sleeping and snoring, and smiled.

The little wolf also fell asleep and was nestling tightly in Anubis's arms. Anubis had just given the little one some milk. The little one had eaten enough and stopped barking.

"This wolf cub seems to like you very much and considers you its mother. Are you sure you want to take it to Shengyu College with you?"Merric Ince looked at the cute little wolf and couldn't help but feel sorry for this little one who had just lost his mother. The guy's future is worrying.

"Of course, why don't you give it to someone? Just keep it like this. In fact, in a school like Shengyu College, Jakub and I may not even be able to pass the preliminary exam. It will be time to go home in a few days. , I’ll just take the little wolf back to my hometown by the way."Anubis said to Merric Ince Mo while touching the sleeping little wolf.

"How can I be sure that you can't pass the preliminary examination?"Merric Ince asked.

"Hehehehe, if Jakub and I can get in, what else is it called a higher college? Moreover, it is the first higher college of our Holy Heaven ally. How Jakub and I graduated from a secondary college, even we ourselves don't know. Regardless of the essay test or the martial arts test, I'm afraid Jakub and I won't have a chance." There was disappointment in Anubis words.

"Why are you so unsure of yourself? When you were dealing with the soldiers and giant bears in the dwarf village in the forest, I saw that your skills were very good, much better than mine. Especially your archery skills, they are really superb. I admire you. Very."

"That's right. I went out hunting with my father to practice it. I'm not bragging to you. I shot a gold coin from a hundred meters away. But except for my archery skills and Jakub strength, we can't do anything else. . Our current combat strength is probably only the 'Xuan level'."Anubis helplessly joked about himself. "I think you're a bit secretive. When you hit the giant bear, what kind of combat skill or magic was that? I think the giant bear was more painful after being hit by the knight's fire magic than by the knight's flame magic."

"I don't know either."Merric Ince scratched his head, he really didn't know.

"Oh, then where did your unicorn come from?"Anubis continued to ask.

Merric Ince was startled, "That's a gift from my father." The unicorn sacred beast was a birthday gift from his father on his twelfth birthday, but he didn't want to pay too much attention to his father. Remember, there are always some things in people’s hearts that they don’t want to tell anyone.

"Oh, it's a gift, I thought you stole it. Haha, I'm just kidding. It's hard to get holy beasts, but your father is really capable. Lend me a ride in the future."

Merric Ince smiled, "Okay!".

"Go to sleep. I have something to do tomorrow."Anubis breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah."Merric Ince responded and turned to sleep. That night, he did not dream about the black air.

The next day, everyone ate in a hurry and set out for Shengyu City. The knight did not find Jimmy last night, and he had to deal with the village chief today, so he had to wait for the knight's father to come back to find him. The knight's mother was very worried. , Hailey comforted her again and said: "It's okay, I believe Jimmy will be back soon."

"He is such a big man, there is nothing to worry about. He has nowhere to go and few friends. He will come back sooner or later," the knight said to his mother.

The knight's mother sighed and said softly: "Then you finish your work and come back quickly."

The knight nodded to his mother.

Maybe the knight didn't expect that he just scolded Jimmy a few words this time, and Jimmy ran away from home. When Jimmy returns to the village again, it will be a nightmare for the village. Some people have been discriminated against and neglected. They either rise up or fall, a horrible fall.

The group of people set off towards Shengyu City, where there were still many unknowns waiting for them.

On the top of Luoyue Mountain, a tall figure stood on it. A huge black cloak covered this person tightly. Because of the cloak's obstruction, only two eyes could be seen clearly on this person's face. With murderous red eyes. He held a huge staff in his hand. The staff was inlaid with purple crystals and was surrounded by black air currents.

Behind this man is a three-headed snake, each head hissing and spitting out messages. After a while, a big black crow landed on the shoulder of the man in black cloak. The crow croaked a few times, and the man in black let out a hoarse laugh. Then the man in black raised the magic weapon glowing with black air with his hand. The staff pointed at Shengyu City. In an instant, there were many more people behind the man in black, including humans, dwarves, elves, undead, beasts, and among them the knight's brother Jimmy.

But none of them have eyes
