Chapter 1554 The story of a certain border boy (the jumping and rolling cat)

It was morning when Leeteuk walked out of the room.

He put on his armor, picked up his weapon, raised his head and glanced at the sky, checking the time.

"Ah, brother."

At this moment, a crisp and sweet voice sounded. Lite lowered his head and saw a girl with playful brown curly hair greeting him with a smile. That was her sister Ailian. She was washing clothes by the river and waving to herself vigorously.

"Good morning, brother, are you going on patrol?"

"Um."

Li Te clenched the long sword at his waist and nodded. He was just a militiaman here, and he was mainly responsible for patrolling around the village. Although before, he could only guard against wild beasts, but with the invasion of the Demon King's army, he had to be more alert. Even though there was a checkpoint of the Royal Army nearby, it did not make him relax his vigilance.

"Be careful on the road...ah, that's right."

Speaking of this, Ailian seemed to have thought of something.

"I just saw Sister Mina going to the cemetery..."

"Well... Speaking of which, it's that time again."

Hearing what his sister said, Li nodded.

"I'll go check on her."

"Well, please, brother."

After saying this, Lee Teuk turned around and left, while Aileen stared at Lee Teuk's back and clenched her fists hard.

"Come on, brother, I'm optimistic about you!"

Following the country road, Lite came to the cemetery located in the corner of the village. When he walked into the cemetery, he saw a girl standing not far away, praying silently with her eyes closed.

"Mina..."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Li Teuk couldn't help but sigh, and then he silently walked to Mina's side to accompany her.

Mina's parents were killed by the demons, not recently, but a few years ago. Perhaps they were remnants of the Demon King's army who wandered here. At that time, Mina was just a child, and their parents were killed by the demons to protect them. die. Leeteuk and Mina grew up together. He still remembers that Mina's parents were very upright and kind-hearted people, but they were killed so unreasonably. It was precisely because of this that when Leeteuk saw Mina's heartbroken look at the funeral, he secretly made up his mind to protect Mina, so he joined the militia.

Even if he is useless now, one day he will use the sword in his hand to protect Mina.

"Ah, Liteuk, you're here."

After a while, Mina ended her prayer and turned to look at Leeteuk. The latter nodded and looked at Mina.

"How are you?"

"I have no idea."

Mina shook her head.

"It has been several years, and I thought I would forget it silently, but every time I come here, I will remember what happened that day clearly, as if it happened yesterday. I can't forget that time. The ugly appearance of the demons, if possible, I would even want to kill those demons myself, but..."

Having said this, Mina lowered her head and looked at her hands.

"I can't do anything."

"…………"

Hearing his childhood sweetheart sigh, Li Teuk said nothing and just clenched his fists. At this moment, Mina raised her head and looked at Liteuk.

"Li Teuk, I'm very worried. I don't want you to die like them. If you die, I will have nothing..."

"…………"

Li Teuk turned around and looked at his childhood sweetheart. Looking at her moist eyes, Li Teuk suddenly felt something changed. For Leeteuk, Mina is his childhood sweetheart who grew up together. They have a good relationship. He still remembers the scene when they took Aileen to play together.

But now, under the sunlight, Lite looked at the other party's fair cheeks, moist eyes, bright and smooth blond hair, and the slightly curved figure in the dress under the sunlight. Suddenly I felt my heart start beating. The Mina in his memory was still a carefree girl, but the person standing here was a young girl. A young and beautiful girl.

"I won't die."

Li Teuk finally said this sentence out of his mouth, and turned his head at the same time. For some reason, he didn't want to face the passionate emotion contained in those moist eyes.

"I will protect you, Mina."

"………Um."

After hearing Liteuk's answer, Mina lowered her head silently, and then whispered after a moment.

"I believe you, Leeteuk."

"Yes, that's right, Mina."

Perhaps wanting to break up the somewhat weird atmosphere, Leeteuk abruptly changed the subject.

"Did you know? The brave man has come to our village."

"Ah, I already know this."

"Huh? Really?"

"Yes, I was called by the village chief yesterday and asked me to serve the brave man well."

"That's it..."

After all, Mina originally worked in the hotel, so it was natural for the village chief to ask her to serve the brave man well.

"Then have you met Lord Brave?"

"Well...although he is a bit vicious, he is surprisingly a good person and he is also very kind to me."

"Somewhat vicious? Surprisingly a good person?"

Hearing Mina's answer, Liteuk was a little surprised. These words seemed not to be used to describe brave men. But now is not the time to ask questions, because it is already late, and I am afraid that my partner is already waiting for me, and it is time to go on patrol. After all, the General has issued an order to increase the number of scout patrols to prevent the demons from attacking. If we continue talking, we will be late.

"Sorry, it's almost time. I have to leave. See you later, Mina!"

"Ah, um...see you later."

After waving to Mina, Leeteuk turned around and left the cemetery, while Mina just stood there, looking at Leeteuk's back without saying a word.

When Leeteuk arrived at the meeting point, his companions who had been waiting there were already a little impatient.

"Really, where have you been!"

The woman wearing the same guard armor as Leeteuk stared at him dissatisfied. Her name is Lilian, and she is a newcomer who joined the security corps at the same time as Lit. However, she joined two hours earlier than Lit, and she has always treated Lit as a senior. Of course, although Lilian sounds a little arrogant, she is a very caring person.

"Our patrol route today is the hills outside the village. If we are later, we may not be able to come back before the sun goes down."

“Need to go to the mountains?”

"That's right."

Lillian shook her black twin ponytails.

"Deploy patrols as much as possible to monitor the surroundings, and report any findings immediately... After all, this is no longer a remote village isolated from the world, but the front line against the Demon King's army."

"To be honest, I still don't have a real sense of it."

Walking beside Lilian, Lite looked around and sighed at the same time. Originally, this village was just one of the most remote rural areas in China. Apart from the locals, only people from nearby towns knew about it. But now, this place has become the front line against the Demon King's army...

"Me too."

Lilian walked beside Liteuk and whispered.

"But I will try my best to protect everyone, and aren't the heroes here too? As long as the heroes are here, we won't lose!"

"A brave man...can he really defeat the Demon King's army?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The brave men of the Kingdom of Kagosu have already eliminated one of the Four Heavenly Kings, so the brave men of our country will definitely not lose to them!"

"Um………"

Liteuk didn't say anything more, just nodded and continued to carry out his mission.

When the two of them completed their patrol mission, night had fallen.

"Really, it's all your fault. If you had come earlier, we wouldn't have had to smear him and rush him back now."

On the way back, Lilian complained unhappily, and Lite knew it was his fault and scratched his head with a wry smile.

"I'm sorry, Lillian, it's all my fault."

"It's good that you know. Let's hurry up. If it's later, we might even have dinner..."

Before she finished speaking, Lilian stopped, then her eyes widened and she looked forward.

"Wait, what's going on there?"

"Why?"

Hearing Lilian's voice, Lite raised his head and looked there, only to see a thick black smoke rising into the sky, blending into the black night. Under the darkness, the blazing fire was clearly visible. .

"That's... the checkpoint! Damn it, is the attack from the Demon King's army coming? Hurry! Liteuk, we have to go back!"

"good!"

At this moment, Lite also started running after Lilian. At this moment, all he could think about was his well-behaved sister and his childhood sweetheart Mina. You must be safe and sound!

Perhaps due to luck, when Li Te rushed back to the village, the demons had not yet attacked the village, but everyone was already panicking and running for refuge.

"Ellen? Have you seen Mina?"

Li Teuk saw his sister at a glance and rushed forward and asked loudly. When Eileen saw Li Teuk coming back, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded vigorously.

"I'm also looking for Sister Mina. She said she was going out to pick fruits, but she hasn't come back yet..."

"Damn it, she shouldn't go to the woods in front!"

Hearing Ailian's answer, Li Teuk's heart sank.

"I'll go find her, and you can take refuge with everyone else!"

"Okay, brother...be careful!"

Although she was a little reluctant, Ailian nodded obediently, then turned and left. Lite also quickly rushed out of the village and ran towards the woods.

And just when Lite came to the entrance of the forest, he saw a figure collapsed on the ground, surrounded by two snake-headed monsters.

That's exactly Mina!

"Mina!!"

Seeing this scene, Liteuk was also very angry. He roared and rushed forward, raised his sword and rushed towards the demon in front of him. The two demon soldiers obviously did not expect that someone would suddenly rush out, and they were also startled at this moment. He hurriedly turned around to attack. At this moment, Liteuk was extremely angry and exerted far more strength than usual. He swung his sword and cut off the head of one of the demons. Then he increased his speed and rushed into the arms of another demon. Before the other person could react, he saw a sharp blade rising from bottom to top and piercing the demon's head.

Only then did Leeteuk stop breathing heavily and look at Mina.

"Mina, are you okay!"

"Li Teuk...!"

At this moment, Mina also jumped up, threw herself into Li Te's arms, and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you, Leeteuk...thank you...!"

"Mina..."

Caressing Mina's trembling back, Leeteuk said nothing, while Mina hugged Leeteuk with her backhand, harder and harder.

"Li Teuk... you have really become stronger, you are different from before..."

As she spoke, Mina raised her head, and looking at the girl at this moment, Liteuk also felt something in his heart.

"Mina..."

At this moment, in Li Te's eyes, it seemed that only the girl in front of him was left, and everything in the world seemed to have disappeared. He slowly lowered his head and approached Mina...

"boom!"

However, at this moment, suddenly, a huge black shadow fell from the sky and landed next to the two of them. The shocked two people came back to their senses. They looked intently and were shocked - what they saw in front of them was a giant monster several meters tall, strong and with six arms!

"Hahahahaha, humans, delicious humans! I finally caught you!"

"Get away, devil!"

Leeteuk stood in front of Mina and raised the long sword in his hand, but the latter just glanced at him. The next moment, the long sword in Leeteuk's hand turned red, and he felt the irresistible heat. Due to the high temperature, Li Te also hurriedly threw down his sword. Then he saw that the long sword completely turned into a pool of bright red molten steel on the ground!

Is this also the power of the demons? !

"Hahaha, even a mere mortal trying to stop me, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, is really asking for death!"

The huge demon at this moment sneered again. When they heard each other's words, Li Teuk and Mina suddenly stiffened.

Four Heavenly Kings?

Is this demon in front of me one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army?

"Mina, run!"

At this moment, Lee Teuk gave up on life and death. He picked up a branch from the side and rushed straight towards the devil in front of him! However, as soon as he started, his vision went dark, and then he flew out and fell heavily to the ground.

"No, Leeteuk——!"

At this time, all Lite could hear was Mina's indistinct scream. What he saw in front of him was the demon reaching out to grab him - but then, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed the demon's arm.

The next moment, Leeteuk completely fell into the dark abyss of unconsciousness.

"………………"

I don't know how long it took before Lite woke up. He sat up and looked around, finding that he seemed to be in a strange room. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and then Lite saw an old man walking in - that was the old village chief.

"Oh, Lite, you're awake!"

"village head!"

Lite suddenly became excited when he saw the village chief.

"Where is here? Where is the village? How is everyone doing? Eileen, Mina..."

"Okay, calm down, Liteuk."

The old village chief reached out and patted Li Teuk on the shoulder.

"The village is safe and sound, everyone is fine."

"Is everything okay? But the Four Heavenly Kings..."

"Yes, the Four Heavenly Kings attacked, but we were all frightened and thought we were doomed. Fortunately, the brave man who destroyed the demon king's army arrived at the critical moment. As expected of the brave man, he easily defeated that terrible demon. It was torn into pieces. Thanks to him, you and Mina were saved. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. "

"this………"

"This is my home. Ailian has been taking care of you just now, but she was very tired, so I asked her to go back to rest. Mina came to visit you before, and seemed to have something to say to you, but it was so late. She left too. But Mina’s home was destroyed by the Demon King’s army, so she should be living in the hotel now.”

"That's it...thank you, village chief."

Liteuk moved his body and nodded to the village chief in thanks.

"You're welcome. If you want to thank the brave, you should thank the brave. Oh... he is indeed a brave. Even a big demon of the level of the Four Heavenly Kings is vulnerable to him. Now it seems that our country is really saved... Anyway, I hope everything goes well. It’s already very late today. We’ll discuss the details tomorrow. Go home and rest soon.”

"Okay, thank you village chief."

Li nodded and left the village chief's house.

When he walked out of the house, he saw that the surroundings were indeed in a mess, but most of them were still well preserved. Seeing this scene, Li Teuk breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned around and walked towards home. However, halfway through, Lite saw the hotel not far away, and then he remembered Mina's figure.

And everything that happened before.

"Mina..."

Lite murmured the name of his childhood sweetheart, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the hotel.

There was no one in the entire hotel. Lite opened the hotel door and walked into the hotel. He only saw a dark and uninhabited lobby.

At this moment, Li Teuk heard a low, creaking sound coming from the second floor. It was like something was twisting, and Liteuk vaguely heard a sound.

"Uh... um... um..."

"Mina?"

Although the voice was unclear, Li Teuk could still recognize it as the voice of his childhood sweetheart. After all, they had grown up together. Could it be that Mina was injured?

Thinking of this, Leeteuk hurriedly walked up to the second floor, and then came to the door of the guest room. Leeteuk stretched out his hand, but the door was locked, and the sound coming from inside was still vague and audible.

"..."

Along with the noise, the sounds coming from it were intermittent.

Leeteuk concentrated on the words, but he couldn't hear clearly.

"Sir...Sir Brave..."

"Is it okay?"

"Yes, sir, please leave it to me..."

“————!!”

The noise became more intense, and the originally vague sound also fluctuated.

"How could it be? This is even worse than before -!"

"So, that's it?"

The voice inside paused for a moment, and then sounded again, as if Mina had made up her mind.

"...No...I have no problem, sir..."

Hearing this, Leeteuk narrowed his eyes. What on earth was Mina talking about? What on earth did she want to say?

"So what are you going to do?"

"Please use my - please use my - please!"

There was a roaring in his ears. At this moment, Lite felt as if he was not stepping on the floor, but in the clouds. He seemed to be in a dream, and he couldn't believe the words he heard in his ears. Is that the voice of my childhood sweetheart? Was it what she said?

Does that lively, cheerful, always greeting me with a smile, and taking care of Ailian like a big sister, my closest childhood sweetheart, have such a side that I don't know about?

"Very well, then get ready!"

"yes!"

“————!!”

The distorted noise of the mixed explosion became more and more violent, making people feel as if the entire hotel was shaking, and the floor was shaking like an earthquake.

But at this moment, Li Teuk felt that his mind was completely blank.
