foreigner's journey

Chapter 344
As a 'former 1st fighter', Claude naturally knows something about summoning beast spar.

In ancient times, those extremely powerful fantasy creatures turned into the stream of life after death, and the stream of life left the imprint of the most powerful period of their life in the river of life. By accidental coincidence, the stream of life condensed into In solid form, this red magic spar carries the 'shadow' of a certain fantasy creature.

If you are a powerful warrior, you can resonate with the magic stone of the summoned beast when fighting a strong enemy, so as to use the power of the magic stone to summon the mind body of the summoned beast.

Even if they cannot exist in this world for a long time, those powerful summoned beasts usually have the terrifying power to reverse the situation and even capture the army.Some powerful summoned beasts were even dubbed 'gods'.

'Vulcan' Ifrit can freely manipulate and create flames, and the terrifying fire storm and flame breath are nightmares for the enemy.

The 'Ice God' Shiva can freeze the water vapor in the air, and can also create a huge ice spear out of thin air when necessary. He is like a mermaid swimming in the ocean of ice, unpredictable.

'Thor' Ram, summons thunder to crush enemies.

The Titan, the 'Earth God', creates massive earthquakes.

'Water God' Leviathan, set off a huge tsunami to devour all enemies.

And the so-called strongest summoned beast, 'Dragon God' Bahamut.Legend has it that when Bahamut appears, all things will come to an end under the illumination of billions of dragon flames.

Generally speaking, the same summoned beast spar can exist in plural forms in this world. When Shinra and Wutai fought back then, there was even a spectacular scene of Ifrit on both sides bombarding each other.But with wars, fighting, loss, and finally returning to nothingness, many magic spar were destroyed or lost in a certain corner of the world, including summoning stones.

I don't know if the more powerful the summoned beast is, the harder it is to condense into summoning stones. There are very few Bahamut summoning stones recorded since ancient times.Even the Shinra Company, which was at its peak during the Wutai War, only kept three Bahamut Summoning Stones, two of which lost their traces after the war, and the remaining one is currently kept in the scientific research of the Shinra Company headquarters. department.

The Ifrit Summoning Stone in Jessie's hand is a treasure she accidentally got when she traveled the world with the theater troupe as an actor in her early years. She kept it carefully. Even her mother didn't know that her daughter had such a summoning stone stone.

Claude looked at the red summoning stone in his hand, and there seemed to be a faint flame flickering inside.This is the Summoning Stone of [Vulcan] Ifrit. Claude hesitated for a while but did not reject Jesse's invitation, carefully put the Summoning Stone in his arms and prepared to find a chance to inlay it into his metal giant sword [Destruction Sword] above.

Seeing that Claude decisively accepted the 'Love Token', Jesse was extremely happy.She took the opportunity to get close to Claude and agreed on the time and place to meet. Claude pushed Jesse away because he was short-staffed, and Jesse was a super-high-level beauty, so he didn't like it. Consciously a little secretly happy.

Soon, the time came to the next night.

Claude and Jesse meet at the station, only to discover that the train has not arrived on time.Not only that, there was no one around the station, so I don't know what happened.

Just when the two were in trouble, Biggs and Wage pushed two motorcycles and walked over.

"Huh? Biggs? Wedge? Why..." Jesse was very surprised, he obviously didn't tell his two buddies about his plan for tonight.

Fatty Weggie gave a thumbs up: "Biggs saw that you were absent-minded, and guessed that you planned to go back to the upper city of Qifan Street to see your family before the next operation, right?"

"There are no trains today, and Shinra moved the time of the last train earlier. I borrowed a motorcycle, let's ride this to the upper city."

Biggs nodded with a smile.

Jesse covered his chest and smiled: "Really, I was completely seen through."

Biggs patted the motorcycle: "Although it's a bit cheeky, I hope you can let us two without parents experience the feeling of being filial to our parents."

Jessie's heart warmed, knowing that the two buddies were afraid that something would happen to him after he went to the upper city, so he insisted on following him to help.She turned to look at Claude: "Where are Claude's parents?"

"...not here." Claude's expression dimmed.

Seeing Claude's sad expression, Jesse seemed to be poked in the heart.She patted Claude on the shoulder, deliberately enlivening the atmosphere with a cheerful tone: "Okay! Then let's go together and share the guilt of unfilial children!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Biggs and Wedge immediately raised their arms in response.

Then the bikes were assigned as simple as Crowder and Biggs on one each, with Jesse on the back of Crowder's bike and Wedgie on Biggs'.

Hugging Claude around his waist, Jesse giggled twice with a reddish face, and said softly in Claude's ear: "I entrust you with my safety, Sir Knight."

Claude held the handlebar of the motorcycle with one hand, and held the giant metal sword in the other hand, nodded slightly: "Hold it firmly."

Two motorcycles passed through the huge brightly lit tunnel at a fast speed.

Jesse is very good at high-tech technology. The water purifier is a practical device she developed. She also forged a lot of ID cards for various occasions.This time she just brought enough new ID cards and distributed them to the crowd for the next ID scanning level that will appear in the tunnel.

The lights in the tunnel quickly swept behind Jesse. Even at such a high speed and only holding the handle with one hand, Jesse still feels that the motorcycle is more stable than ever. He is really a good man worth relying on.

"Can you hear it?" At this moment, Claude's voice came from the front.

"Well, I can hear you, what's the matter?" Jesse hugged Claude's waist, rubbed his whole body forward and almost completely stuck to Claude's back, and said with his mouth next to Claude's ear.

Claude seemed to want to break free from Jesse's bear hug, but considering that he was driving at a high speed at this time, he had to give up. He turned his head slightly to prevent the hot air from Jesse's mouth from hitting his ears, and asked as calmly as possible: " Who is that Heather?"

"Heather? When I came to Seventh Street, Heather and Tifa had been running a bar together for more than a year."

Jesse thought for a while, and said unhurriedly: "I've heard a lot of rumors about him. Some people say that he has at least dozens of lives under his hands, and some people say that he is the underground king of the slums on Qifan Street. But The Avalanche Organization has always had a good relationship with him, probably because of the relationship with the former leader Helmer?"

"He and Tifa are brothers and sisters?" Claude finally asked the question he wanted to ask.

"Aha, I finally asked. I'm still wondering how long you're going to hold back before asking."

"...What's the answer?"

"Fortunately for you, Tifa and I are good sisters. Of course, I have asked her this question. Yes, Heather and Tifa are indeed brothers and sisters. They have the same master. Five years ago, Tifa just When she came to Midgar, Heather shouldered the responsibility of guardian and took care of her. Tifa is usually gentle and gentle, and rarely gets angry. But if someone dares to speak ill of Heather in front of her, she will Really throw a tantrum. You, like Tifa, don't you?"

Jesse's sudden attack caught Claude off guard. He was silent for a moment and then said, "Nothing."

"What does it matter if you admit it or not? I'm not blind, and there are many people who like Tifa. Looking at the slums of Qifan Street, who doesn't like Tifa? It's just that no one has ever been able to get the seventh heaven kanban girl." My heart, guess what is the reason for this?"

"...Because of Heather?"

Claude's tone was a little bitter.He has been secretly in love with Tifa since he was a child, and even resolutely joined Shinra Company in order to become her hero. After reuniting after a long absence, he thought that he could make Tifa look different as a "former 1st fighter", but he didn't expect ...

"Don't look at Heather's ordinary appearance, in fact, he is really an outstanding man. His skills are unrivaled, he takes great care of those around him, he cooks well, has money and never spends it recklessly, He doesn't bully the weak either. The most important thing is that he has been with Tifa day and night for five years, isn't it strange that Tifa likes him?"

Jessie patted Claude's waist: "If you are really Tifa's friend from the same country, then you should know her character very well - once you like her, you won't change easily. Although I didn't make it clear clearly, But she does like Heather. You don't stand a chance, handsome."

"........."

Claude stopped talking, just twisted the handle of the motorcycle to accelerate the motorcycle again.

At this time, there were several red grid-shaped lights flashing in front of the tunnel, and Jesse hugged Claude tightly and shouted: "It's an ID scan! Be careful!"

"What's the matter, didn't you confidently say that the ID card you made was safe?" Claude was a little panicked by Jesse's shout, and his hand holding the sword was raised.

"The ID card is fine. But it appears in the tunnel at this time, which is the biggest problem in itself! The Shinra Army stationed nearby will definitely send someone to check."

While the two were talking, the red grid had passed them and Biggswiggy behind them.

Soon, there were several motorcycle sounds in the rear tunnel.

Claude looked in the rearview mirror on the left, and found that there were at least six more advanced motorcycles carrying heavily armed Shinra soldiers chasing up.

The leading Shinra soldier shouted through the on-board loudspeaker: "The motorcycle in front, pull over immediately and accept the ID scan verification! Repeat, pull over immediately and accept the ID scan verification!"

"Whoever parks is an idiot!" Jesse stuck out his tongue at the Shinra soldiers behind him, and then said to Claude, "Hurry up and dismiss them before they report to their superiors."

Claude picked up the metal giant sword [Destruction Sword], his left arm muscles bulged, his eyes were cold:
"Right on my mind."
