"Longji, long time no see. Look, how many years have passed from the old era to the new era. What a coincidence, we meet again, haha."
"..."
"Um...Dragon Halberd?"
"..."
No response.
In the garden by the lake, the red-haired woman in a white dress was still watering the flowers. Faced with Ares's continuous greetings, she didn't even respond at all, or even look at her.
Li Guanqi said nothing from the beginning to the end.
He just slowly walked out of the woods and came to the outside of the lakeside garden. While watching the red-haired woman watering the flowers carefully, he waited quietly.
He is very patient and quiet.
But in his mind, it was not very quiet at this time.
"Hahahahahaha! I'm fucking laughing so hard hahahaha!"
Shunkong let out a sarcastic laugh, "Bodaobadao, did you fucking see? They don't even bother to say hello to him. They didn't stop even after shouting. They shouted three times in a row. As a result,
People don’t even bother to take a look. In the words of the owner’s time, isn’t this just licking a dog? Hahahaha!”
"..."
Hearing this, Li Guanqi tilted his head and thought about it.
It seems that it’s not enough, right?
"Ahem."
Suddenly, Shunkong cleared his throat, and then let out a deep voice, imitating Ares' greeting just now: "Hey, long time no see, Dragon Halberd... hahahahaha!
Turtle Shell, do you think I'm a bird? You haven't seen me for a long time, and you shamelessly said you were old friends before? I thought you two were very familiar with each other, hahahaha!"
"Shut up, you useless auxiliary type!"
Ares became angry and yelled.
"Hey, hey, hey, let's play and make trouble. Seriously, we can't be licking dogs."
At this time, Mo Dao also smiled and joked: "And even if you are a licking dog, don't be a wife's licking dog... Oh no, it should be, Dragon Wife?"
"Fuck! Die Po Dao, don't fucking talk nonsense! What kind of wife?!"
Ares's voice suddenly sounded a little panicked.
"Isn't it obvious?"
Demon Sword was surprised and said: "Didn't you see the tombstone next to it? It's the tomb of my beloved Aaron. I followed my previous host. When I was still in the Sakura Shogunate, I heard the legend of Aaron. The Dragon King has been following him all year round.
A red-haired oriental woman.
Red hair, oriental appearance, woman.
Isn't this what Dragon Halberd looks like when it transforms into a human form?
This place is a divine island, a place specifically for artifacts like the Dragon Halberd to live, and the tomb is right next to the Dragon Halberd's wooden house. Who else could have erected this monument if it wasn't the Dragon Halberd's?
She calls Aaron's beloved husband, so isn't she herself Aaron's beloved wife?
Shunkong, don’t you think so?”
"Okay, okay."
Shunkong laughed with an undiminished smile: "Don't rub salt into Ares's wounds. He is probably mentally broken now. It's a pity that our artifact doesn't have the ability to shed tears, otherwise this guy would probably have to cry in his arms."
"
"..."
Hearing this, Li Guanqi quickly looked at the black clothes made of Ares' divine armor.
Fortunately, it's not wet.
"I don't believe it."
Ares was silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Aaron is a dragon, a fucking dragon. How could Dragon Halberd fall in love with a dragon?!"
"Um, um, who can tell me what the word 'dragon' in her name 'Dragon Halberd' means?"
Hearing Ares's doubts, Li Guanqi also became a little confused.
"No, no, these two things are not related in any way."
Shunkong explained: "The first owner of the dragon halberd was an Eastern god, and his name was Gao Long, and her body was a Fangtian painted halberd, but her owner didn't name her. Over time, everyone just named her.
We call her 'Dragon Halberd' just because her master has a dragon in his name."
"Are you too lazy to come up with a name?"
Li Guanqi frowned slightly.
Not to mention artifacts with high intelligence, even if a mortal holds a sword made of mortal iron, he will have a name for it after using it for a long time.
"Not all gods treat artifacts as friends."
Shunkong said calmly: "The owner of the dragon halberd even asked the master craftsman to ban her ability to speak when he was building her. That guy named Gao Long just regarded the dragon halberd as a square-shaped painted halberd.
Later, Gao Long traded her with another god and exchanged their artifacts.
After the dragon halberd changed its owner and was recast, it gained the ability to speak.
And her second owner, I don’t know what he thought, didn’t give her a name, or in other words, that guy just took ‘Dragon Halberd’ as her real name.”
"Based on the artifact, her fate is considered to be bumpy?" Li Guanqi asked softly.
"You can think so." Shunkong replied.
"No! Long Ji doesn't like others to treat her like this."
Ares' voice was serious.
"Okay, okay."
Shunkong listened to him and couldn't help laughing, "What do people like, what does it have to do with you, a licking dog?"
"Malaka!"
Aris was immediately furious, "Can you shut the fuck up? If you don't speak, no one will think that you, the auxiliary type, are mute!"
"What? Malaca? What do you mean?"
Kong was stunned for a moment.
"Greek, bastard, fuck, shit, damn."
Demon Knife said lazily: "It can basically be explained as follows. Doesn't the God of War like Greek culture very much? This thing is the mantra of the God of War. Ares should have learned from the God of War. After doing Shunkong, don't
After speaking, I forced everyone to speak Greek."
"Oh! Malakar!"
Shunkong's voice was full of laughter, "Hey, hey, Brodao, teach me a few more words, that, that, how do you say licking a dog in Greek?"
"Hahahahahaha!"
As soon as these words came out, Shunkong and Mo Dao burst into laughter, filling Li Guanqi's mind with a cheerful atmosphere.
At this time, the noise in Li Guanqi's mind was in sharp contrast to the quietness of the outside world.
In his mind, Shunkong and Demon Sword were still laughing at Ares.
As for the outside world, the woman with red hair reaching her waist and a white dress was still standing deep in the garden, holding a showerhead and watering the flowers meticulously, as if she was doing something extremely important.
Dragon Halberd, an artifact that takes the form of a human.
"Speaking of which, why haven't I seen you transform into humans?"
Li Guanqi asked curiously in his mind.
"Well, shall I change it for you now?" Shunkong hesitated.
"You can all change?" Li Guanqi was stunned.
"Well, you can basically say that."
Shunkong groaned, "But there is a difference. The human forms of Demon Sword Xiaoxue and I can only be said to be illusions. If we want to exert the power of the artifact, we must change back to our original bodies."
But the artifact like Ares is different.
They have the ability to 'mimicry' and can truly transform their bodies into human forms.
You can understand that Ares can not only turn into armor, but also turn into a human punching bag, punching twice and so on."
"Then why have you never changed into human form?" Li Guanqi asked doubtfully.
"Um, so why do we have to turn into human forms?" Shunkong seemed to be confused.
"because……"
Li Guanqi was speechless.
Yes, the essence of these artifacts is just a piece of equipment. Why do they have to be transformed into human forms?
Um, wait, that doesn’t seem quite right.
"Shunkong, I remember you told me before that the ideas and aesthetics of your artifacts are all customized according to the standards of human gods?"
Li Guanqi asked doubtfully, "That being the case, why don't you like taking human form?"
"Are there any conflicts between the two?"
Shunkong was still a little confused, "Our aesthetics are human aesthetics. We are artifacts, so we like to maintain the form of the artifact itself. Is there any conflict?"
"No?"
Li Guanqi's face was full of bewilderment.
"Is there any?"
The sky was stunned for a moment.
"Stop talking about this stupid pointless issue! Master, look, Dragon Halberd is about to finish watering the flowers!"
At this time, Ares's voice sounded, interrupting the discussion between Li Guanqi and Shun Kong.
After hearing this, Li Guanqi immediately turned around and looked.
In the garden, there were crystal drops of water on the surfaces of various flowers, as if they were evenly soaked by rain and dew. And the red-haired woman stood at the deepest part of the garden, no longer bending down to water the flowers, but taking her time.
Start walking back slowly.
"Master, I want to turn into a human form! Is that okay?"
Ares requested.
"certainly."
Li Guanqi smiled and nodded, and joked: "Under special circumstances, I allow you to become more handsome than me."
"Buzz——"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black clothes on his body flashed with white light, turning into a white light ball and falling on the ground next to him.
Immediately afterwards, the white light group quickly grew taller, gradually taking on a human form, and finally transformed into a tall, handsome blond man.
He has a deep and handsome Western face and wears a set of luxurious white-gold noble robes.
This is Ares in human form.
At this time, Ares was standing next to Li Guanqi. Not only was he more handsome, he was even taller than him, making Li Guanqi seem to be a complete foil - obviously this guy did this deliberately.
But Li Guanqi doesn't care about this.
He lowered his head, looked at the only white bottoming shirt and black trousers he had left on him, and casually took another black robe from the space necklace and put it on.
The "exclusive" set of the conjurer - black hooded robe.
"call--"
Ares stood next to Li Guanqi, looking deep into the garden at the red-haired woman slowly walking toward him, taking deep breaths as if she was very nervous.
"Relax, brother."
Seeing this scene, Li Guanqi couldn't help but smile and patted him on the shoulder, "Although I don't know what the situation was between you two before, but since we are old friends, why are you nervous?"
"Uh-huh!"
Ares nodded heavily.
In the garden, a red-haired woman came slowly with a showerhead in hand.
Li Guanqi didn't notice until then that she had a pair of beautiful red vertical pupils, which gave her a bright beauty.
Soon, this cold and charming woman was right in front of him.
As she got closer, the look in Ares's eyes became brighter.
"dragon……"
"Shut up and change back. It's an eyesore."
Before Ares could finish what he said, the red-haired woman who walked out of the garden said coldly, with a chill in her voice that said no strangers should enter.
"Buzz——"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ares, who had just transformed into a human form, transformed into black clothes again and returned to Li Guanqi.
Li Guanqi, who put on two coats at once, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
But he felt that the one who was suffering the most at this time should be Ares, right?
"Oh, poor turtle shell, don't cry, at least you still have us."
In his mind, Shunkong stopped laughing and began to comfort.
However, his comfort level seems to be on par with Li Guanqi's.
"Hey, hey, hey, Ares, can you at least have some backbone when riding a horse?"
Demonic Sword, on the other hand, hates the indifference of iron to the extreme, "How about you get out of here, bitch? You're too bad, aren't you? I'm not telling you, but you are serious, buddy."
"Can you please be careful what you say?"
Ares said displeased: "What do you mean by 'that bitch'? Can't speak or is she of low quality? Isn't it okay to call her 'that lady'?"
"Forget it, you are completely hopeless, you dog-licking man."
Demon Knife sighed.
"Huh? Wait."
Suddenly, Shunkong seemed to remember something, and said in surprise: "Isn't Xiaoxue Ares's sister? Xiaoxue said before that she hated the dragon halberd, but it turns out that Ares likes the dragon halberd. What is the strange relationship here, you two?
Can you say a few words?"
"It's complicated to say."
Ares sighed.
"I don't want to mention her!"
Xiaoxue said dullly.
"..."
Li Guanqi stopped participating in the noise in his mind.
He just stood there, quietly watching the red-haired woman go into the wooden house, put the shower head in place, then tidied the table in the hall, cleared away the debris, brought the tea set, and poured two cups of scented tea.
.
"Come in."
The red-haired woman looked at Li Guanqi outside the house and said calmly: "This is the first time I've seen such a patient guy like you in the Dragon's Nest. The previous dragons didn't even have the patience to wait for me to finish watering the flowers."
"You are doing something, and I will wait for you to finish it, that's all."
Li Guanqi walked into the room with a smile and nodded gently to her, "Hello, I am Li Guanqi, a human being."
"Dragon Halberd, an artifact."
The red-haired woman pulled out the chair and sat down, "Sit down, don't be restrained, that's tea for you, you can drink it if you like."
After that, she picked up a cup of scented tea and started drinking it by herself.
"Thanks."
Li Guanqi immediately sat across from her and also picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Indescribable taste.
It's a little sweet, but the aftertaste is a little bitter.
"So, I have passed the first level?"
Li Guanqi put down his tea cup, looked at the dragon halberd across from him, and chuckled: "So, how can I completely pass the level and get your approval? Why don't we be more direct, Ms. Dragon halberd?"
"My approval?"
Longji also put down his teacup, shook his head and laughed, "I don't think that a human who possesses multiple artifacts and recognizes his master will need my approval. I'm serious, Mr. Li Guanqi."
"I do have many artifact friends."
Li Guanqi looked at her and said seriously: "But I also need your help, Ms. Longji. If you are willing, I hope to take you out of here and fight side by side."
"..."
Long Ji remained silent.
Li Guanqi didn't urge him, he just waited quietly.
"Get out of here?"
For a long time, Long Ji looked outside the house with a dazed look in his eyes, "But... I've been here, accompanying my husband for many, many years."
From her angle, she could clearly see the clearing of a peach blossom forest not far away, as well as the tombstone engraved with the words "Tomb of Beloved Husband Aaron".
"Isn't it?! Are you really married to a dragon?!"
Hearing this, Ares in Li Guanqi finally couldn't control himself. White light burst out, and he once again turned into a human form and appeared in front of Longji. He looked at her in disbelief, "Why, why?!"
"Do I need to explain this to you?"
Long Ji glanced at him, and there was no emotion in those beautiful red eyes.
If I had to say something, I might just be disgusted.
"I……"
Ares's face changed slightly, and then he lowered his head in despair.
There are some things that you need to stand for if you want to say them.
And poor Ares didn't even have the stance to question Longji's marriage.
"..."
Long Ji ignored Ares and looked into Li Guanqi's eyes, but he was not looking at him, but at another artifact in his body.
"Xiaoxue, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why don't you come out to chat? By the way, you can teach your idiot brother a lesson and tell him to stop messing around."
