A distant voice seemed to come from under the water. It took Jonah half a minute to control his hands and feet, and awkwardly lifted the thin blanket. In the night, he could vaguely see the members of Room A51 setting up a defensive formation around him. Elio
Te sat on the unicorn's back and nodded to him: "Put on your coat, Your Excellency, the night is still long."
Jonah stood up with his staff in hand and looked around. There was no trace of the enemy on the dark Miracle Grassland. The moon had sunk into the sky, and the only thing that illuminated the grassland was the white light naturally emitted from the horn of the Knight of the Rose.
Light. "Where is the enemy?" Jonah clenched his staff nervously and asked in a low voice.
"Open your eyes, brother, there, there, there, everywhere." Xibi beside him spread his hands.
"Where is your bow?" Jonah looked at it and asked.
"Here." Xibi chuckled and showed off her slender wrist to the astrologer's apprentice. There was a snake-shaped bracelet on the wrist. The head and tail of the silver snake intersected, and the mouth full of fangs bit deeply.
On Xibi's wrist, it looked like a living thing. "A gift brought by Sister Long Ji from the East." She stroked the bracelet like a child who couldn't play enough. The snake bracelet suddenly twisted, and a flash of light flashed through it.
A five-foot-tall bow shimmering with silver suddenly appeared in Xibi's hand. The arms of the bow were like a snake's body covered with smooth scales. The bowstring was so thin that it was almost invisible, reflecting the faint light.
Jonah opened his mouth wide. "Is this... a kind of summoning technique?"
"I don't know either." Xibi shook his head, "Anyway, it's easy to say."
"Shh." Long Ji signaled the two of them to be silent.
"We are carrying out the official mission of Cherry Crossing. I hope everyone will not disturb you, otherwise there will be a fight. I am afraid that you will be afraid too. I beg the knights, magicians and nobles over there not to take action. Everyone has a good sleep tomorrow.
Let's go our separate ways, okay? Please!" The head of the house yelled in a weak tone with a strong voice. Elliot put his hand on his forehead helplessly.
As his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, Jonah vaguely saw a few points of light reflected by the sword. The hidden enemy did not answer or move, and the two sides faced off silently. The sky was poking there like a bamboo pole, with an expressionless face, and the Buddha's tooth was slightly irritated.
The scabbard vibrated slightly and creaked.
"How long until dawn?" Long Ji asked.
"About four hours," Elliot answered.
"What the hell! If you stand like this for four hours, your calves will become thicker." Xibi complained as he played with the longbow boredly.
"Well done, noble sir! We are just passing by and have no intention of fighting with others! We also have women (pointing to Long Ji), children (pointing to Xibi) and the injured (pointing to Yona) here.
And the unsound poor guy (pointing to Jekong)! Just do it!" Toba yelled in an increasingly weaker tone. Sibi jumped up and slapped the Bazeral farmer on the back of his muscular head.
Above: "You are the child!"
"Let me say, 'child' may refer to your young age, Miss Sibi." Rose Knight interrupted.
"Yes, I am a child." Xibi, who is extremely sensitive to age, immediately nodded in agreement.
The other party remained silent.
"Let's light it up." Long Ji suddenly said.
"Huh?" Jonah was stunned for a moment.
"Light up the entire grassland, I think you can do it." Long Ji looked at him with dark eyes. Yona was in a trance. He quickly shook his hair and stopped the staff: "I can try it.
." Long Ji looked at Elliot inquiringly, and the Rose Knight nodded. "Come up." He stretched out his hand and pulled Yona onto the unicorn's back, helping him to stand firmly on the saddle.
"Mr. Room Chief, be on your defense and stop shouting." Elliot said to Toba who was shouting energetically. The Bazeral farmer took off his small round hat and said a little shyly: "Okay, my negotiator
It was unsuccessful."
"Everything in the world is the projection of the stars on the ecliptic. When we survive, own, communicate, inherit, create, manage, share, change, transcend, realize, communicate and introspect, we all have the stars to look down on. We are in awe and always look up.
.Please lend me your strength from the stars.”
Jonah meditated on the motto passed down by astrologers for hundreds of years, and the voice of Teacher Keshava came to mind. Where is the teacher now? Is he sleeping soundly in a distant country, or is he watching him in the starlight of the sky?
The energy stripped from the star line was captured by the rapidly rotating star array. Jonah had never felt like he was in control of indescribable abundant energy like tonight. The crystal on the top of the staff quickly brightened, and the light transformed from warm red to scorching yellow.
For the dazzling white, Jonah raised his staff high, and the light drove away the darkness like a tide. In an instant, another day came to the Miracle Grassland. Jonah seemed to see the flowers in the grass slowly rotating towards him, capturing
Full of vitality.
The enemy appeared, in shocking numbers. Nearly a hundred ambushers armed with weapons moved in a panic in the light, and gathered at the entrance of the canyon in the direction of Cherry Crossing.
"Jefta!" Sibi exclaimed, pointing to a familiar face in the crowd.
"Gefta?" Jonah looked down at her.
"The fallen magician of the 'Sick Dog' team, the holder of the Moon Halo Mandala." Elliot explained, "It is very dangerous. If there is a war, Sibi, shoot him first."
"I can't say with any confidence that he is usually protected by a heavy shield warrior." Xibi said hesitantly.
Toba moved, and his body as thick as a wall lay in front of everyone, blocking everyone's sight and isolating possible dangers. "Mr. Dan!" He shouted to the other side with a bit of surprise, waving his small round hat enthusiastically.
There was an uneasy commotion in the enemy's team, and then they broke through the crowd, and a slightly fat, silver-haired middle-aged man wearing a white robe came out with his hands behind his back and said, "It turns out to be Pitchfork's friends."
"Mr. Dan!" Xibi also waved and shouted.
"Little grasshopper!" Mr. Dan smiled at her and signaled.
"Who?" Jonah asked confused.
"Mr. Dan, the V-class tenant of Cherry Crossing, one of the people at the top. We have a very good relationship, and a large part of his personal missions were completed by us." Rose Knight explained.
"By the way, a few days ago you..."
"We crushed the backbone of the poor man named Harold from the 'Sick Dog' team. Yes, Mr. Dan's mission." Long Ji said.
"But isn't that Jeffta also a member of the Sick Dog Team?" Jonah asked confused.
"'Sick Dog' was hired by Mr. Dan today. There is no hatred between them. This is the world of Cherry Crossing. All relationships are composed of interests." Elliot said.
"Don't worry, if one day brother you are pinched to death, I promise to feel sad for you for a week." Xibi made a pinching gesture, thought about it, and corrected: "I'll feel sad for three days, a week is too long.
"
"Mr. Dan! Where are you going?" Toba roared happily when he saw that there was no need to fight.
"Go to the Royal City of Bazelal." Mr. Dan replied.
"I heard that the place has been captured by the Zhawi Empire!" Toba said in surprise.
"Yes, but I have to see it with my own eyes." Mr. Dan sighed, waved his hand, and his team canceled their alert, put away their swords, and formed a wedge-shaped array to bypass the camp of the A51 tenants and move towards the Sucasa Canyon.
"It is rumored that Mr. Dan is a member of the Sutherland family and the crown prince of Bazelar. When the war began, he escaped and took refuge under his father's authority. I didn't expect that he would have the courage to go back and take a look at this time," Elliot said.
.
"Is he a Sutherland?" Toba's face suddenly darkened, and the innocent smile at the corner of his mouth melted like ice meeting snow.
"No, no, he is an insignificant character. We dare say that he doesn't even know Princess Abdel." The Rose Knight quickly changed his words.
The head of the room frowned, the muscles on his shoulders bulged slightly, and his fingers flexed.
"Blow the lamp!" Long Ji suddenly shouted.
"Blow the lamp?" Xibi was puzzled.
"I told you to stop lighting!" Long Ji dodged and appeared behind Yona. She swung her long legs and gently kicked the astrologer's apprentice's staff into the air. The out-of-control star array was like a candle in the wind.
It flashed a few times and then went out. The eyes that had just gotten used to the bright light suddenly fell into darkness. Except for the footsteps of Mr. Dan's team entering the canyon on the other side, no one in the Pitchfork team could see or hear anything.
.
"...What are you doing? My fingers are swollen." Jonah said aggrievedly.
"Sorry." Long Ji's voice came.
After a long time, I heard Toba say: "It's almost dawn, I said, go to bed quickly." There was a thud and the wall fell down, causing the ground to shake slightly.
"Everyone has a sad story." The unicorn kicked a few steps to find a comfortable position and buried its head under its front legs. The Rose Knight sighed on the back of the riding beast.
"I think everyone is crazy, huh, except me." Xibi waved his hand, and the silver bow disappeared like magic and turned into a silver bracelet on his wrist.
Jonah rubbed his swollen middle finger and couldn't help but think: the mysterious oriental woman trapped in love, the boring knight of the trinity, the seemingly honest peasant Bazeral with deep hatred, the confused Southern murderer, the pretender of no age.
Archer, I am the most normal person in this strange team. Of course, he did not expect that someone who is occasionally possessed by a demon and harbors doomsday prophecies is the strangest one.
It was the hardest time to fall asleep after being woken up in a dream. Jonah was lying on the thin blanket fully clothed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. "Ellie? Elie?" He whispered the name of the Rose Knight. "What's the matter?" Elliot never said.
Disappointingly immediate reply.
"There's one thing I haven't figured out. If the tenant goes outside the range of Cherry Crossing, will he no longer be protected by dad?"
"Of course. Dad's arms are not that long."
"Why does Mr. Dan dare to act with the mercenaries? Aren't you afraid that those people will kill him?"
"He is different from those V-class tenants who are rich businessmen. As a great nobleman of Bazelal, his personal knights occupy six A-class guest rooms."
"Oh. Are you tired from sitting on a horse all day?"
"We are one, so of course we are not tired. Are you tired of walking on your legs all day?"
"Oh, yes."
Jonah and Elliot chatted for a while, and at some point, they fell asleep. When they opened their eyes again, it was already full of daylight, and the team was ready to set off.
