Chapter 89: Flowers, Birds and Moon
Night falls.
People who have worked for a day have fallen into deep sleep, and their hearts are filled with hope and joy. You should know that the original way out for these retired soldiers was to return to their hometowns and rely on their own skills to be bodyguards and guards of farmers or merchants. But now, the Academy Council has given them a new choice of path. As long as this land in the Undead Forest can develop, they can own their own farms. This is a great reward for those who are just working for others regardless of whether they are fighting to the death. Therefore, they do not need to mobilize at all, and the dangers that the Undead Forest may be hidden have been unthinkable.
The black dragon head hanging in the center of the castle is already the best proof.
“……………………”
Marien hesitated and walked out of the castle gate, looked around uneasy for a moment, then quickly made a gesture to signal the guard not to say hello to her.
"Sir Marian, where are you going so late?"
"I...I just think the night is beautiful and I want to go out and have a walk."
Marien was speechless for a moment and stuttered to one of the elves.
"Don't tell others, let them have a good rest. Especially Mealie...ah, don't worry, I'll be back soon!"
"Yes, I get it."
Hearing Marian say this, the elf seemed to understand something, and bowed gracefully and watched Marian leave with a smile. Of course she knew what was going on, because not long ago, Yiming walked out of the castle and said she wanted to relax. Now Marian ran out again... But this is not a problem that their servants should care about, so the elf could only treat it as if they had not seen it.
Marien trotted all the way until she confirmed that no one was following her, and then she calmed down. She hesitated and looked around, her face turned red. But when she saw the figure leaning against the tree, she stood up and walked towards Yiming with a serious expression.
"What good things have you done!"
"I did nothing? You know, I just finished eating and sleeping in the castle all day long."
"So what happened to Alinoa."
Marien asked with a frown, as if she was very dissatisfied.
"When I was sent to Miss Belloga, Elinoa was unconscious, and after she woke up, she didn't speak for a long time. This was the first time I saw her so disappointed. What did you and Miss Meallie do to her?! It's not a fun time. Lord Heyan is a very short-lived person. If she knew about it, you might not even be able to save your life!"
"It's just to teach the little girls who like to dream to recognize reality."
Yi Ming stood up straight and shrugged helplessly.
"What reality."
"In this world, you can defeat the enemy without just working hard and enlightenment."
Yiming snapped his fingers and then turned back before Marian's attention was drawn.
"So reality is 'cruel'."
"How is this possible?"
Marien snorted coldly, obviously disagreed with Yiming's thoughts.
"As long as people are willing to do it, they will definitely gain and achieve results, and there will be no opponents that cannot be defeated!"
"Oh? So for you magicians, can you destroy the stars in the sky? Can you destroy the entire continent? In other words... can you fight against that so-called magic spirit? I remember you seem to say that your power is that thing."
"That's not human at all, don't go so far!"
When Marian heard the magic spirit, he could no longer remain silent. After all, this is the most core motivation of the magician, fighting against the magic spirit? He never thought about this.
"So, according to you, what does it take to defeat that guy without effort?"
"luck."
Yiming quickly gave the answer.
"For example, when the opponent suddenly becomes distracted, panic, or makes mistakes that were originally impossible, this is the most important factor in defeating the opponent."
"Tell yourself to something unpredictable? I don't think that adventurers are like this. So according to your statement, if we want to fight the devil, don't do anything at all. Wouldn't it be better to wait quietly for the arrival of luck?"
Marien could not agree with Yiming's opinion at all. Her nature was as strict and serious as Elinoa and belonged to the theoretical school. In this kind of person's ideas, theory occupies the most important part, so Marien could not agree with Yiming's ideas at all. Yiming did not say anything, but turned around and walked to the depths of the woods. At this time, Marien remembered something and hurriedly started to follow him.
"Wait, Yi Ming, let's put that boring thing aside. You told me that there was something important, so I ran out to meet you! Tell me quickly if you have anything, otherwise I'll go back! If Miss Meyali finds out, it causes any misunderstandings..."
"That kind of thing is put aside for the time being."
For some reason, Yi Ming seemed to be very wrong tonight, and his speech became much more frivolous. If it weren't for confirming that this was Yi Ming, Marian would even doubt whether someone pretended to be him to deceive him. But why did Yi Ming suddenly go out for a walk with her? Marian still couldn't figure out what happened...
"You seem to have changed your clothes?"
Yiming turned her head and looked at Marien in surprise. She did not wear the usual magician robe tonight, but was wearing a very luxurious and beautiful formal outfit. Although this dress was a bit out of place in the forest. However, because it had been trimmed nearby, and Marien is a magician specializing in elves magic, flowers, plants, trees and trees will naturally not become her obstacles. Faced with Yiming's questions, Marien turned her head with a slightly red face.
"What's the solution! I've washed the rest of my clothes. Do you want me to come out naked?!"
"I don't mind..."
"I mind!"
Marien snorted coldly, then she seemed to find her attitude a little intense, so she took a deep breath.
"So, Yi Ming, you can tell me now, you can ask me for it..."
“The flowers here are beautiful.”
But Yi Ming did not have the chance to finish her words, but interrupted her again. Marien subconsciously raised her head and tried to refute Yi Ming, but then she was also stunned by the scenery in front of her.
The white flowers formed a flower pond, emitting a gentle silver light. The surrounding scenery became blurry and it seemed to make people in a dream world. The complaint that Marian was going to say disappeared, but she just stood blankly on the side, staring at the dreamy scenery in front of her. Yi Ming stood up as if he had discovered something.
"By the way, that flower is very beautiful, I'll pick it for you."
Something is wrong, very wrong!
Yi Ming is not such a man who can please women at all, and why is it himself... Is this a dream?
Looking at Yi Ming's figure walking deep into the flower field, Marian couldn't help feeling a little dazed. She hesitated and squatted down and tried to touch the flower to confirm that it was a real existence, not a phantom in her dream. And at this moment, a breeze suddenly rose, and a colder air conditioner than the night wind came from behind, which surprised Marian.
"who…………!!"
"I knew it would be like this, and now I finally judged your goal."
Alas? The voice from Yiming came from behind made Marian stunned. She hurriedly raised her head and looked forward, but was surprised to find that there was no one there. But when Marian turned around, she saw Yiming riding on a black shadow's body, and the double-edged sword in her hand penetrated into the black shadow's shoulder. There was a cold smile on his face, as if he was mocking the hunter who was stepping into the trap.
"For what to know........."
The black shadow struggled desperately, trying to get rid of Yi Ming's control, but Yi Ming just pinched it with his hands and broke the joints of his arm. Under the double blow of huge pain and failure of the assassin, even an experienced and calm assassin could not help but panic.
"You hide nearby while I was talking to Marien in the afternoon."
Yi Ming sneered, giving the other party no room at all.
"I was still wondering whether your target was me or Marian, now I can confirm... You are here to assassinate Marian."
“……………………”
The other party fell into silence. Obviously, no matter what he said now, it would only be bad for him.
"Silence is gold, but also disaster."
Yi Ming stood up, then slapped the assassin's back of the head, while the other party fainted without even saying a word.
"I'll let you know what hell is."
Yi Ming looked at the assassin in front of him, his expression mixed with an unconcealed smile of joy.
