Chapter 591 Extra Melting Furnace Conversation
Coronation ceremony.
This word is like magic, lingering in Zhou Li's mind.
Lying in the VIP room of the Life Church, Zhou Li felt the soft and comfortable bed beneath him, staring at the white ceiling and luxurious chandeliers, and for a moment he was very thoughtful.
Since coming to this world a few months ago, Zhou Li has been living a wandering life. Tree holes, wilderness, riversides, gravel beaches, forests, and the former Earthlings have made themselves a savage in just a few months. Of course, sometimes Zhou Li can't help but sigh that he is indeed a bit of strength.
If someone else is gone, they might have collapsed long ago.
From the earth to another world, from the warm bed to the cold ground, from the peaceful and stable life, he was forced to throw it into another world where war and monsters were full of stories. To be honest, Zhou Li always felt that he could not hold on at first, after all, he had never even killed fish in his life. But on the third day of traveling, he killed a wild goblin with his own hands.
ah···
Zhou Li still remembered that when the long sword pierced into the goblin's throat, the monster that was extremely similar to humans except for the ears and skin was wailing in pain. The hilt in his hand was shaken by the other party's trembling muscles. He thought he would vomit, but he quickly killed more goblins.
Maybe it's really destined.
Zhou Li turned over. He had no feelings now. He was about to attend the coronation ceremony and become a brave man recognized by the world. He could not live such a displaced life without having to live a displaced life.
He was just a little dazed and felt a little unreal.
Am I really... OK?
Zhou Li felt a little bitter in his mouth. He always felt that he was an ordinary person, so ordinary that no one could tell that he was thrown into the crowd.
But it's me...
Many times, Zhou Li is self-doubting, but in fact he has never shown such a weak feeling in front of others, especially Eluma. He just feels unprecedented loneliness and powerlessness when he is alone, as if he has been stripped away.
Soon, accompanied by the standard three knocks on the door, a warm and magnetic sound rang out from behind the door.
"His Highness the Brave, King Tarik wants to see you."
"Um?"
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, and then quickly searched for information about King Tarik in his mind.
Hlinin Tarik, currently King Tarik and is also the deputy director of the Tarik Institute of Technology. As the most powerful person in Tarik, Herik has no family or industry. The only thing he has is a place in the People's Palace and three children.
People have a high evaluation of him, especially the locals in Mosk. In their words, Khlinin is infinitely close to the founding emperor Tarik Vladimir himself. This is a great glory and appreciation. After all, Tarik Vladimir himself is no different from the gods in the hearts of the people of Tarik, and has even surpassed the gods in some aspects.
After quickly passing through Hrining's identity in his mind, Zhou Li stood up, tidied up his appearance and spoke, "Okay, I'm going to meet him there, when?"
"In twenty minutes, there will be a special car to pick you up and drop you off."
After respectfully talking to Zhou Li about the time and place, the waiter left the door. Zhou Li had no idea of lying on the bed. He thought for a while, pushed open the door and came to the door of Eluma.
"Eluma God Messenger, are you here?"
After Zhou Li knocked on the door, the sound of something being knocked to the ground seemed to be heard on the other side of the door. Just as Zhou Li was about to ask, Eluma's cold and majestic voice slowly rang.
"I'm here, is there anything?"
“That’s it…”
Zhou Li and Eluma roughly explained what was about to happen through the door. After all, Zhou Li would inevitably be a little nervous when facing the leader of a country. After all, he is a novice brave man now, and Helining ruled a monarch who can rank among the top four in the world.
"That's right, I asked, although King Tarik named me, he did not know the existence of the messenger, so I want you to go to the feast with me."
Zhou Li made his request nervously. Over the past few months, he didn't say much to this cold messenger. Many times, the two of them were communicating and fighting or knowledge about another world, so he didn't know whether the other party would agree to his request.
"I see."
A moment later, the door was opened, and the girl with long blue hair was wearing a white dress, and her beautiful and elegant face as beautiful as the stars and the moon was full of calmness and calmness. "Don't worry, I will go with you."
"No matter what, I am also your messenger."
This banquet was a brand new understanding for Aluma and Zhou Li. In other words, for Zhou Li, it was a banquet that changed his mind.
Helining was a good king, and at the same time, he was also a good person. After seeing Zhou Li, he realized that the other party was not a high-ranking official and did not have a strong enough family. Therefore, he chose to remove all the red tape and silently cancelled all the long and complex interests.
The original meeting between the brave and the king became a communication meeting between the old man and the young man under the operation of Helining. Faced with this kind old man, Zhou Li did not hide his identity too much. He calmly told his identity as a civilian, of course, he did not say anything about the earth.
The conversation between Helining and Zhou Li was very interesting. They did not exchange interests, nor did they talk about politics and force. Helining was just chatting with Zhou Li, caring about his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and some fighting skills. Just like an elder facing the completeness of teaching that needs to be taught, loving and full of concern.
Of course, Helinin also noticed Eluma. After learning about Eluma's identity, Helinin expressed respect to Eluma in the name of King Tarik, and Eluma used his rich knowledge and elegant temperament to surprise everyone present. After all, they rarely saw people with such a wide range of knowledge, but when they thought of the other party living in the mysterious kingdom of God, everything was relieved.
The banquet was not as boring and boring as Zhou Li imagined, nor was it as full of money and the bad atmosphere unique to the other world as he thought. He did not see the rich children who were crazy about women, nor were he mocked as poor.
Slowly, when Tiya raised her glass to pay tribute to him, Zhou Li didn't care much about his identity as a brave man, and he was too lazy to care about his past and future. He just wanted to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by people and caring about this moment.
Even if it is just because of his bravery.
***************************************
"So, at the beginning, did you approach me because of my identity?"
The Mosk melting pot is the industrial center of the entire Tarik, also known as the Second Miracle. Now, Zhou Li and Tiya are sitting on a high tower of the Second Miracle, carrying wine glasses and looking at the countless smokes of the melting pots that soared into the sky in the distance, as if they were missing something.
"What? Was disappointed?"
Shaking the wine glass in his hand and sitting at the edge of the furnace tower, Tiya looked at her feet swaying slightly in the air, with a faint smile on her face, "I didn't notice you because of your temperament and strength. Are you sad?"
"Let's learn to talk to Loka less."
Zhou Li's mouth twitched for a moment. In three years, the once cheerful and generous deputy captain promoted to the commander of the Storm Legion, and at the same time, the other party learned the advanced ability of talking nonsense.
"Hahahahaha, Loka was so angry that I told me to stop interacting with you, saying that you had brought me badly and said that he was so poor that he could not speak."
Tiya raised her head and made a cheerful and crisp laugh. As the commander of the Storm Legion, Tiya always looked as sharp and decisive as a storm, but in front of her family and Zhou Li, she always made some irrelevant jokes and then made herself laugh first.
"Hi, don't mention it."
Zhou Li waved his hand and said helplessly and amusedly: "Do you still remember that dinner? It was the time when Loka was ambushed by Jinggui in the airport?"
"Ah, you said the fourth Crystal Quez attack."
Putting the wine bottle aside, Tiya pulled the platinum long skirt that she was not used to wearing, and then said with a faint smile: "The boy Loka was thrown in by us as bait. Finally, he asked you with horror or not if you treat him as bait, and then I said... "
As if deliberately imitating the situation at that time, Tiya cleared her throat, then changed into a somewhat unspeakable expression and said softly: "It's okay, I treat you as bait as well."
"Yes, that's it this time."
After seeing Tiya's vivid interpretation, Zhou Li couldn't help but be happy. He raised his glass and took a sip, breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly said: "Tia, do you know? I had never had the confidence to be a good brave man before defeating that crystal treacherous."
"Yeah?"
Tiya was a little surprised. She turned her head, her eyes as bright as a gem, full of curiosity, "This is really strange. How do I remember you have always been amazing?"
In Tia's memory, Zhou Li has been crushing the so-called talents in the world in recent years with a terrifying attitude. At the golden level, he led sixteen gold-level pros and sneaked into the airport controlled by Jinggui, and sneaked into the six gold-level Jinggui. Finally, with the cooperation with Tia, he defeated the platinum-level Jinggui.
Not only that, after that airport battle, he joined the Storm Legion and started from the lowest-level soldiers. In less than a year, Zhou Li was promoted to Platinum while defeating a group of demons from the ocean and was promoted continuously, and directly took over the position of Tia's deputy captain.
When people talk about Zhou Li, they can't help but have a respectful tone. After all, a brave man who can advance from gold to brilliant in just three years and constantly achieves achievements in the hands of demons will give people more confidence to overcome the unannounced disaster.
"Whether it is good or not has nothing to do with mentality."
Zhou Li smiled and shook his head. He was half lying at the top of the tower, looking at the sky full of burning clouds, and whispered: "I always felt that I was an ordinary person. Saving the world was too far away for me. Many nights I dreamed that the world was destroyed, and everyone kept asking me why I didn't save them and why I didn't work hard."
He smiled bitterly, Zhou Li closed his eyes, his voice a little low, "That dream is really real. I saw the fat uncle in the hotel, the aunt in the North Tavern, the old village chief, and even you. Since then, I have been very scared, afraid that the dream will come true, afraid that I will lose everything, and everything."
"If you and I later defeated that platinum-level crystal betrayer, I might have been living in confusion."
Zhou Li clearly remembered that at the end of the banquet, Helining received a call. At the same time, Tiya, who had been by Zhou Li's side, was afraid that he would not be able to adapt, disappeared into the crowd. Under Zhou Li's inquiry, Helining told him that it was the fourth attack of the crystal scepter.
For some reason, maybe it was the conversation with Hlining that made Zhou Li feel hope, or maybe it was the worrying but expectant gaze that Zhou Li chose to go to the airport to participate in the war.
Although he and Tyya said it easily in that battle, only they themselves knew the sinisterness. After several encounters that almost lost their lives, Zhou Li and Tyya solved a group of enemies. In the end, they used the second prince Loka as bait and killed the platinum-level crystal ghost together.
When he slowly fell in the arms of Tiya behind him, Zhou Li still did not release the hilt of the sword in his hand. He just stared at Jing Gui, whose half of his body was cut off, and an indescribable emotion stirred in his heart. He did not see the girl holding him, his eyes full of complex emotions.
Actually, the first time I noticed you was not because of your books.
Tiya's gaze swept across Zhou Li's shoulder, and she also clearly remembered that it was the price Zhou Li paid to help him block the fatal blow - the huge spike that penetrated half of his shoulder. She still remembered the dying attack when she met Zhou Li for the first time. Zhou Li subconsciously wanted to push Aluma away and endured the attack.
In fact, what she noticed at the beginning was not the gorgeous and dazzling book, but Zhou Li's eyes, a pair of eyes that were clearly full of light, but for some reason, full of self-destruction and sacrifice.
The wind on the tower was refreshing and bright. Tiya held her knees, and the long skirt of platinum intertwined was particularly beautiful under the warm and dazzling fire clouds. She put a long strand of hair scattered from her temples and then narrowed her bright eyes slightly, like two beautiful crescent moons. Tiya stared at Zhou Li, her voice as loud as ever, but there was a hint of softness that she could not see in the past.
"Zhou Li, do you like this world?"
"Um?"
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, and the wine glass in his hand that was put to his mouth paused in the air. After thinking, Zhou Li took a sip of sweet wine, looked at the Huo Shaoyun not far away, and said calmly: "I don't know."
"snort!"
For some reason, Tiya suddenly snorted, then took Zhou Li's wine glass with one hand, and said to Zhou Li viciously: "You kid can come here to drink with the power of my promotion to the commander of the Legion. You should be grateful to this Knight, so you must promise me one thing."
"Yes, this is my buddy. I thought you were reincarnated when you were so silly just now."
Zhou Li suddenly looked like "This is the Tiya in my memory" and smiled kindly: "Tell me, if you can help, I can't help you, it's useless to beat you to death. Just speak up, I'll see and agree."
“···”
Suddenly, Tiya grabbed Zhou Li's collar, and her white and delicate skin like mutton fat jade revealed a healthy atmosphere. Perhaps the sunset and the light of the burning clouds made Tiya's cheeks flushed. She stared at the stunned boy in front of her and said word by word:
"If, I mean, in the future, we will be in crisis again."
"You are not allowed to sacrifice yourself anymore, do you understand?"
Did you notice it?... It was you.
Zhou Li stared at the girl in front of him. Only Eluma had noticed his self-destructive tendency over the years, and now, Tiya also saw it.
For some reason, Zhou Li suddenly felt a little happy, but wanted to cry. He looked at his close friend in front of him, and the corners of his eyes were clearly crying hard, but a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"good."
He nodded and said softly, "I will not sacrifice myself anymore."
