Kicked out of Rhodes Island, a small quilt was covered in the hole of the Longmen Bridge

In the beginning, I could occasionally hear greetings from soldiers such as "Thanks to you today, Xiaobai~ Well, General!", but after a while, only Baihua and General Zuo were left around.

"I thought that Yumenguan was my end, and it was a suitable grave for a fatuous general like myself. It's a pity that those soldiers, they were so stupid that they insisted on following me."

"But it's ironic that we've got weird guys like you."

The middle-aged man in Phidia looked at Bai Hua with a look of helplessness or relief in his eyes.

"Your existence gave those soldiers and me something that shouldn't exist."

"...what is it?"

"Hope. Everyone here has already planned the end of death, but because of your existence, with the help of Ling, you broke into the position and beheaded special evil spirits again and again. We gradually began to have a kind of fantasy, a kind that can The idea of ​​surviving and returning."

The general put a hand on Bai Hua's shoulder and said softly.

"More and more soldiers believe that even if they are seriously injured on the battlefield, they can be saved by you. Even if they encounter any hopeless front, you and Ling will have a way to tear it apart. Can rub your ears—”

"The last point is superfluous..."

Bai Hua complained a little angrily.

"Unlike Ling, everything about you is unknown and mysterious. Maybe even Ling doesn't know what kind of existence you are, but even so--I thank you on behalf of all the soldiers. I know why I didn't sort out the post-war battle today. Data? Because of today’s encounter, our casualties are 0. Together with Ling, you protected everyone in Yumen Gate today, Bai Hua.”

The general smiled at Bai Hua, perhaps he and his subordinates had accepted the final outcome long ago, but even so, none of the generals would want to see the deaths of their soldiers.

"Protect...? In fact, I didn't have the ability to protect others for a long time before. Even thinking about it was a kind of torture. I once thought about self-exile and self-destruction. But I survived in the end , and there have been changes during this process, and I also know what I thought was the past, and the true intentions of the person I trusted."

Bai Hua closed her eyes slightly, recalling how she escaped like a walking dead after leaving Rhodes Island, and also recalled meeting W again, returning to Rhodes Island, reconciling with Kelsey, meeting Frost Star again, etc. memory.

If he chooses to end, nothing will happen in the future, and it is precisely because of this that no matter what the situation is, Bai Hua will still choose to move on, just like the journey he has experienced.

"Actually, I also have some things I want to talk to you, General. I learned about the past from the soldiers under your command."

"—nothing to talk about."

When the topic touched on his past, the expression on the general's face instantly became a little gloomy.

"Wait a minute, General Zuo! I heard that you were attacked during an escort mission. Not only did you fail to deal with the enemy in time, but it also caused the death of the target. Nearly half of the soldiers died in that battle—don't you think Is it weird?"

"Don't talk about it, it's my ineffective command... Wait, strange?"

General Zuo originally planned to forcefully interrupt Bai Hua's words, but was attracted by the question he threw out.

"Although I only heard the content here and there, the nature of the mission should be relatively secret, right? But the ambush you encountered seemed to be an enemy army wearing regular armor. The process from confirming the mission to starting the escort took only half a day. I realized that it would be fine if these enemies were impromptu, but the enemies who are ready in armor don’t seem to be able to be ready in half a day.”

Perhaps because Tiantian is not looking for cats and dogs to investigate affairs, or helping Grandma Li next door to wash clothes and cook, many people seem to have forgotten that Bai Hua does have something in reasoning, and this kind of "easy chair detective" can be considered at first glance. There is a style.

"Not only that, the escort route you got was a country trail that deviated from the main road, right? Because it was inconvenient to pass through, many cavalry and heavy soldiers were left in the camp, but the city-state you were stationed at that time also had other troops stationed there. , logically speaking, you should choose a more suitable team, but in the end, you would rather break up the team and choose the left general - there are many weird details like this, don't you doubt that this is too targeted a coincidence ambush , maybe someone made a hindrance?"

Bai Hua's analysis was straightforward, and judging from the expression on the general's face, he also had doubts about Bai Hua's conjecture.

"In short, what I want to say is—it's not a bad thing to have hope, General Zuo, everyone trusts you so much, they will follow you to hell, and naturally believe that you can lead them back to the world. What's more, if you don't Even with my help, your command cannot last until now."

Shirakaba looked at the Phidia male in front of him and clenched his fists to cheer him up.

"It's not easy to leave Yumen Pass, but... Anyway, I will think about it."

General Zuo sighed, but finally nodded to the gray wolf in front of him.

"If I hadn't come here and followed the family arrangement to start a family with peace of mind, maybe the child would be a few years old at this time. If I can return to Dayan to carry on the family line, it would be great if my child can be half as good as yours. At that time The name is Zuo Xuanliao, if there is another grandson... Zuo Le is also good."

"So we have to go back alive, General—wait a minute, what?"

Bai Hua blinked. When the general in front of him was thinking about his descendants, there seemed to be a name that he had some impressions of.

"General! Xiaobai is here too... Well, it's not good, Master Qingtian is gone! No matter the warlocks, crossbowmen or eldest sister Ling, they all said they didn't see it, Xiaobai, did you see it?"

However, before he had time to think about it, Bai Hua's thoughts were interrupted by a soldier's panicked voice.

"Kirin? He's gone?"

Bai Hua froze for a moment, then frowned slightly and began to think.

——Speaking of which, at the end of the previous battle, the unicorn's expression was indeed a bit strange, could it be...

"I'll go find him."

Bai Hua, who probably guessed what the Qilin was going to do, asked to find someone.

"However, we don't know the trace of Master Qingtian at all..."

"It's okay, I know the general direction."

"Eh? As expected of Xiaobai, this is the so-called dog nose—"

"It's deduction, deduction! How can you find someone by smell! Do you think I'm the dog of the Guard Bureau!"

Bai Birch made complaints about fried hair.

——20 minutes later, the southern wasteland on the edge of Yumen Pass——

"Xixiu...it should be around here."

Bai Hua, who forcibly used Long Yuan as the steering wheel, drove the mechanism puppet to leave Yumen Pass. Bai Hua stopped and stopped along the way, sticking her head out from time to time and sucking her nose vigorously.

Bai Hua's reasoning led him to guess that Qilin should be heading towards Yan Kingdom, but the work of confirming the specific route still depends on the nose.

Although there are no evil spirits and messy Haisi inside Yumen Pass, there are still many animals and infected creatures on the wasteland.After Qilin uses lightning to attack, there will always be some strange breath left in the air, and following this smell, Birch can roughly determine the opponent's direction.

After searching for about 3,40 to [-] minutes, Bai Hua finally saw dozens of wild beasts parasitic in the wilderness visible to the naked eye. Those monsters surrounded a raised rock cave, and seemed to be afraid of the things inside. But want to remove it.

"Go away, you guys!"

Inside the cave on the rock wall, the white-haired Qilin was panting while swinging the short dagger. He had just experienced a battle, and the Qilin who had not fully recovered had already lost the energy to use the origin stone skills at this time, so he could only breathe while breathing. The dagger is used as a basic self-defense weapon.

However, those ferocious beasts seemed to be completely unafraid of the weapon in Qilin's hands that might not be able to penetrate even the skin. After a short observation, one of the beasts directly rushed towards Qilin.

"Pfft scare!"

The long sword pierced the jaws of the rushing beast, and then a shadow sprang out. Baihua lifted the monster's head with one hand, and held Longyuan with the other hand, and slashed across it. The blood was instantly scattered, centered on Baihua. Spilled out a semicircle.

The blood and internal organs of the same kind made the rest of the beasts hesitate for a moment. Although they had no intelligence, their survival instincts told these beasts that the Lupus boy in front of him could easily turn everything into minced meat in his hands .

"Ohohohoho..."

After a moment of hesitation, the beasts finally chose to retreat and leave the cave. Bai Hua also heaved a sigh of relief, and threw the head in his hand aside, and turned to look at the Qilin behind him.

"What's the matter, Master Qingtian?"

Bai Hua didn't blame Qilin, but asked Qilin why he suddenly left Yumen Pass without saying a word.

"It's you again..."

Qilin got up from the ground, and when he looked at the gray wolf smiling at him like an idiot, he became even more angry.

"It's not safe here anyway, we—"

"Anyway, it doesn't matter if I'm here or not, so just let me go back!"

Qilin interrupted Bai Hua, and at the same time, his tone was not as easy as it used to be, but rather irritable and angry.

"Kirin?"

Bai Hua froze for a moment, in his memory, it was the first time he saw the white-haired boy in such a mess.

"It's you every time... and that old beast, anyway, as long as you two are stationed in this crappy place, it's enough! I'm a half-baked product, even if I continue to stay in this kind of place, it's useless Is not it!"

The white-haired boy threw his dagger to the ground, his red eyes fixed on Bai Hua, but after a few seconds of confrontation, he looked away again.

"Master Qingtian, actually—"

"Don't call me that, I'm not a celestial master at all... I did come out of the celestial master's mansion, but unlike those powerful guys, I'm just a defective product."

After venting the noise, the white-haired Qilin squatted on the ground. At this time, no one could possibly equate this distraught boy with the "Master Qingtian" who always had a superior expression in the military camp.

"The Heavenly Master's Mansion is full of geniuses selected from thousands of miles. I thought I would be one of those geniuses, or more talented than those guys, but in fact? I am just a person who can barely keep up with the training. It’s nothing but trash. Whether it’s grades or talents, they are all mediocre. So I pretended to ask for leave and came here. I know that Yumenguan is a group of guys that no one wants. This kind of me will also have a place here—until you appear."

Qilin raised his head to look at Bai Hua, with more envy and jealousy in his eyes.

"Whether it's you or that year old beast... no matter who it is, it's so weird. The power that can easily cut off the enemy, can conjure up strange objects, drink wine and chant poems next to the enemy, everything is so unrealistic, but And reminding myself all the time that I'm just an idiot!"

"Uh... sorry"

Bai Hua had vaguely guessed before that this unicorn was actually far less arrogant than it appeared on the outside, but Bai Hua never thought that the other party would be so fragile, and at the same time, from another perspective, he was so harsh on himself. '.

"But you are actually very powerful. Not only can you crackle the discharge on the battlefield, but you can also remotely control the mechanism puppets! I can only use Longyuan to force it to move, and I can't make fine movements, and my ability... so far In other words, it can only be used on 'cutting and devouring', which is far less quick and convenient than your mine clearing."

"As for the actions on the battlefield, this is just the technology I have accumulated from my previous personal experience. You also secretly study the Originium skills in the tent every night, pululuwu...!"

Halfway through Bai Hua's speech, Qilin covered her mouth in embarrassment.

"Forget about it! It's obvious that I managed to shape the character of 'a cynical, self-improving genius celestial master' in the eyes of others—anyway, I'm this kind of pretentious but mediocre and dull, mechanical skills He’s been lukewarm all the time, civil engineering and Feng Shui are half-baked, and the most important thing is the guy who can’t handle it no matter how hard he studies…”

As he talked, Qilin became discouraged again. This sense of despair that no matter how hard he tried, coupled with the deep gap between Heling and Baihua, made the white-haired Qilin, who was usually proud and arrogant, look like Mao The ball shrank into a ball like a ball.

"Rayfa?"

Hearing the familiar words, Bai Hua was slightly taken aback.

"Is there a problem? Lei Fa is a branch of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Although it has great power that cannot be underestimated, it is very difficult to become a subordinate. It's so funny. I finally obtained the qualification to study, but I didn't make any progress at all. "

Qilin sighed and laughed at himself, while Bai Hua tapped his palm firmly.

"If it's Lei Fa, I actually know a thing or two!"

"……what?"

Qilin glanced at Bai Hua, he didn't think that the guy in front of him who looked like Lao Lai, but was a bit like a mascot, could know anything about Dayan's secret method of thunder.

"Tell me about your situation first."

At this time, the two of them were in the cave on the rock wall, no one disturbed them, and they finally had a chance to have a good chat with this white-haired unicorn.

"You guy...forget it."

Qilin shook his head. He probably felt that there was nothing to save him anyway, and it didn't matter if he gave up on himself.

But what Qilin didn't expect was that Bai Hua listened in a serious manner, and even analyzed to himself how to improve his ability to use lightning.

As the saying goes, even though she has never eaten pork, she has seen pigs running. Although Bai Hua has never learned the thunder method, she will be stunned by Jing Zhe with the lightning method to stun Boqi every now and then, so she has a little understanding of the mysterious power of the Yan Kingdom.

"—So that's it, I've fully understood that it's difficult for you to attract lightning, that's why you can't use lightning at will!"

"...?"

After listening to Qilin's general situation, Bai Hua stated the result of the deduction with a determined face.

"Your situation is like going to New Oriental to learn how to cook, but the stove has never been able to turn on the fire, so you need to chop wood and light the fire before cooking, so the utilization efficiency will naturally be much lower. And this situation is actually It's not too difficult to deal with, just wait for me."

Bai Hua took out Long Yuan, and then removed the end of the hilt, which was originally a charging and discharging device modified by Jing Zhe for herself, and tied it to Qilin's dagger.

"Try again this time, but the initial lightning process directly pulls the switch."

Bai Hua returned the dagger with the charging and discharging device tied to it to Qilin, and told him to use it correctly.

"How could such a thing—"

Click! ! !

Before Qilin even had time to complain, a thunderbolt that could instantly darken the sky fell straight in front of the cave.

"...!?"

Qilin rubbed his eyes, as if he still couldn't understand what just happened.

"Sure enough, Master Qingtian, you're just unlucky. You don't have a natural affinity for the step of 'inspiring', but the degree of adaptation after that is actually amazing."

Bai Hua nodded with an expression of "as expected".

"In short, let's use it like this first. You can't stay stuck at this step because the stove can't turn on the fire. What's more, after the proficiency increases in the future, the basic part should be corrected and overcome instead."

"This……"

The white-haired unicorn was greatly shocked, and he tried again, and the thunder that rushed out of his hand was not only more natural in color, but also almost doubled in power.

——Is it really the same as what Bai Hua said?This thing... Although it is not the same as the cultivation of Leifa as imagined, the times have changed, and the Leifa regulations do not seem to say that it is not allowed to be used.

Qilin held the birch and removed it from Longyuan. It didn't seem to belong to this era, but the structure didn't look too difficult and the wonderful thing fell into contemplation.

finally--

"...I'm sorry, Shirakaba. I caused trouble for you because of boring things."

After venting, and at the same time being pointed out by Bai Hua about his bottleneck, Qilin bowed his head and apologized honestly to Bai Hua this time.

"This is not a boring thing. I also thought about becoming stronger before. After all, being able to become stronger means that I can protect more of the existence that I cherish."

Looking at the gray wolf who was defending himself solemnly in front of him, the white-haired unicorn froze for a moment, then sighed.
