"If I hate someone, I will definitely kill her as soon as possible. It is impossible to keep her by my side for so long." Li Yi's words were very straightforward.
"I'm leaving after mid-month. Go and do some things alone. Can you go back by yourself?" He asked suddenly after spending dinner with Mani.
"Ah?" Mani was obviously a little caught off guard, "You... are you leaving?" If she had heard this news before, she would have cried, but after experiencing a lot of things, she became much stronger, just feeling a strong loneliness and sadness, as if she had suddenly lost the support of life.
"I know, you may have become dependent on me, but you have to understand the fact that I want to seize profits in danger. Your strength is too weak, not only will it not help me, but it will also drag me down. You may be very sad to talk to you about these things, but I cannot waste time with you here to meet your needs, and it is all over."
"So, then, can I see you again?" Mani's eyes turned red.
"Of course, I will probably finish everything in half a year, return to the hospital, prepare to participate in the Colt Cup, and get glory and wealth." Li Yi turned his head away. He liked the time here and time with Mani. Unfortunately, he knew the reason why the weak in this world could not survive. If he stagnated, he would probably become Eddiedo in the hands of others, deprived of all his wealth, squeezed out the last secret and then ruthlessly killed it.
The dinner ended in a sad atmosphere. Li Yi calculated that it was almost mid-month and his plan was about to begin to be implemented, and some props were essential.
I got three cannons and a lot of black gunpowder in the warehouse of the city guards. After working for a few hours, I was done and I am waiting for the arrival of the moon tide.
The golden-level fire demon was spread evenly on the table by him. Because he was too big, he occupied most of the room, and Mani also came to help.
"Oh my God, you are so awesome. You have defeated the golden-level fire demon!" Her little face turned red with excitement, "Its two eyes are like rubies!"
"Haha, if this golden-level fire demon was in its heyday, I would definitely not be able to defeat it, but I was seriously injured and took advantage of the situation and brought it back." Li Yi cut open the abdomen of the fire demon, put the internal organs and blood clean, sprinkled with salt and fire-type spirit crystals and prepared to make jerky meat. The fire demon's eyes were left alone in a small box and sent to the Fire Demon Club, asking them to soak in the water from the cold pond.
Feld set up a fire on the roof, cut the ten-meter-long fire demon into pieces, hung it up and roasted it with willow branches, and applied seasonings and wine to make the fire demon jerky, and the fragrance drifted far away.
"These fire demon meat contains a large amount of flame essence, which is very nutritious after removing the sulphur smell!" He carefully grasped the temperature. In fact, the fire demon meat is tough and hard, and only monsters like Goregong Steel Spirit, whose body is full of steel spirits can be digested.
"When their clan went to ancient times, they used this method to temper their bodies, swallowing some particularly hard metals or the bodies of high-level spirits. Our Shadow Walker clan broke through in an extremely dangerous battle. This time I wanted to break from blue to green, follow the ancient system, and also assassinate a B-level spirit alone, break through in battle and kill the opponent to show the power of Shadow Walker." Aljie explained.
"Do you know our clan very well? You don't think you know our clan very well! Shadow Walker also has many assassinations that fail to die in front of your opponent." Feld was very unhappy.
Alger didn't care. He said slowly: "Every excellent race has some impurities. Those Shadow Walkers who cannot kill themselves cannot be called our tribe members at all. But I heard that only the Gores who use extremely hard metal to sharpen their bodies are excellent. I wonder if you have the courage to Felder."
"Bastard, you are provoking me! Your personal tastes are different! Do you want to fight?" Feld became even more annoyed and was poked into the pain.
It has been more than half a month since Li Yi came to Donoke City State. After the moon tide tonight, he will leave this city state, say goodbye to Mani, and embark on a new journey.
It is low-lying and the weather is humid and cold. At night, fine light rain often comes, and tonight is no exception. The octagonal glass steam lamps next to the street are steaming hot, looking like hazy oranges.
He stood at a four-way intersection in the west of the city, with slippery black square bricks under his feet. Many grass grew from the cracks crushed by the heavy carriage, and raindrops dripped on the black cloth umbrella. Not far away, a blacksmith shop was still burning charcoal fire. Mars shot around as the anvil fell, and accompanied by the rhythmic shouts of the iron slashers, breaking the silence of the evening.
However, this drizzle did not prevent the moon from appearing. It shone hazy and rose from the sky to the west. The thin clouds covered her beautiful posture like a veil. The residents of the city-state all walked under the eaves and watched the moon through the rain curtain. Most of them were old people. They lived here for a lifetime. Such a full moon could only be seen once a year. For them, this is a special day. How easy the cold moonlight makes people feel at ease. When I recall some past events, I sighed.
Because the weather was cold, the elderly were wearing fur coats and burning warm charcoal stoves at their feet. Some even placed a table with brandy and dishes on it.
"This ghost weather is tide and wet, I can't stand it!" Feld complained beside Li Yi, "I like heat and dryness."
"Be quiet, don't bother those old people. Tonight is an important day and is not suitable for noisy," Li Yi signaled Feld to shut up, "Go out of the city, there will be a drastic change later."
He got on the carriage and was about to go to the hills outside the city. A few days ago, he calculated the location and adjusted the details depending on the situation.
"Are you leaving?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind, and the beautiful figure that appeared behind him was Mani.
Li Yi was startled. He was leaving behind her. Thinking about it, if he said goodbye to Mani directly, he would have to be entangled for a long time and delayed his plan. Unexpectedly, Mani actually noticed his intention to go and waited for him here.
"Well, there is an urgent matter. Now I have to rush over. After dealing with that matter, I will come back to say goodbye to you." Li Yi explained with a smile. He raised his horse whip and prepared to set off.
"You are lying! After dealing with that matter, you will not come back at all, right?" Mani shouted, she was already holding back her tears.
"Hu! Why am I like that? After I leave, you have to take good care of yourself and return to the yard alone. Is it okay?" Li Yi shook his head, pressed the collar, took off the oil lamp on the left side of the carriage and hung it on the horse shed, waved the horse whip, "Go!"
Suddenly, Mani ran over and grabbed the upper edge of the carriage and jumped up. Then Li Yi felt a soft body pounce into his arms like a kitten.
"Um..." Before he could react, Mani pushed him away in panic, his face buried in the darkness of the carriage, red and hot.
"I'll go with you and then part with you. I'll go back to the yard well. Remember to write me." After a long silence, Mani spoke.
"Well, I, write a letter." Li Yi agreed. He didn't know what was good. His head was full of Mani's heart as soon as he threw himself into his arms. He was filled with an inexplicable feeling. Then Mani pushed him away, leaving a faint, pleasant fragrance, like the toadstools emerging from the bottoms of pine and oak trees in the rainy woods, with astringent and sweet taste.
"You want to come back early, I will feel panic if I can't see you." Mani hurriedly again.
"It must be, don't worry." In the bumpy weather, the carriage left the city, the wheels ran through the puddles, and a silver-white wave splashed in the moonlight. The pine forests on both sides of the road were thin and straight, and the evening breeze brought rain, the fragrance of soil and rosin.
Arger and Feld talked in the language between spirits behind the carriage.
"That woman has a high chance of becoming the boss's spouse in the future." The fire of Alger's gossip burned. Although he hid very well, like a hermit who was indifferent to the world, he was still young after all, not the old guys of the Shadow Walker clan who hid in the dark all day long.
"Hu, so thin, weak and incompetent, how could the boss want her? At least he needs a strong woman like a heifer, so that she can ensure the quality of her offspring!" Feld groaned and retorted.
"Don't use the aesthetic of Goregong Gangling to look at women, why don't you marry an elephant? Humans are the most elusive. They have both rationality and sensibility, but there can only be one dominant at every moment, sometimes rationality and sometimes sensibility." Alger said softly, as if he was a senior human family.
"I don't know what you are, but it sounds very powerful. But you probably have never seen the female Gorekgang Lingling. They are big and strong, with wide hips. Do you know? This is convenient for breeding offspring and it is also very pleasant to do. Only such a woman can ensure the continuation of the race. If you have seen it, you will be deeply fascinated by it and round your two little eyes!" Feld was intoxicated.
"Isabella, I suggest throwing Feld into the hole. I can't stand him anymore!" Alger suppressed his anger and looked at Li Yi's only woman in his three spirits.
"I agree, throw this monster with a savage and ugly worldview into the hole." Isabella was obviously very angry with Feld's view of women.
"No! No! You...ah!!!" Feld screamed, shrouded in an illusion, and was covered in an empty body, falling into the bottomless abyss, an abyss that never ended.
"This illusion is especially suitable for Feld, a terror ball with acrophobia." Alger commented gloatingly.
On the other side,
Li Yi suddenly felt uncomfortable all over and was thinking something, but he swallowed it again when he spoke. After a long time, he tried to come out: "Are you cold?"
"A little bit." Mani looked at him and lowered her head again, not knowing what she was thinking.
At this time, the carriage suddenly shook and bumped, as if it had tripped up some stone. Li Yi was shocked and remembered that there was still a big thing to do today, which was related to the safety of this city-state - to prevent the eruption of the volcano. Only when this bad thing was solved could he leave the city-state cleanly.
"Tonight is an important day. You will see a grand performance, a process of conspiracy being sniped." Li Yi seemed to have regained his tongue.
"What?" Mani's eyes widened curiously, "Is today a special day? What does it have to do with the conspiracy?"
The moon had risen to the middle of the sky at this time, and Li Yi's carriage also drove into the volcanoes. He climbed a hill and put three artillery mounts. Feld held a strip in his hand and worked hard to clear the cannon chamber. Arger was carefully inspecting and shooting the special shells.
"What are these cannons for?" Mani carefully touched the black back seat with his hands. There were many potholes on the cold iron cast arch.
"You will know later that it's just like magic. Today will be the most important day for this city-state, so there must be some fireworks, otherwise it will lose its memorial meaning," Li Yi gestured for a moment, and finally found a suitable word, "like a symphony."
The moon became brighter and brighter. The bright moonlight broke free from the shackles of clouds and mist, splashing and smashing the volcanoes. The long chirping of fire demons came from afar.
"Hula!" As if the gate that blocked the river was opened, groups of fire demons could not bear the temptation of the moonlight on them, and flew into the sky like a tide to chase the moonlight.
Long roars echoed through the sky one after another. Mani was stunned. She grabbed Li Yi's clothes tightly and stared at this extraordinary scene with her eyes wide open. Countless fire monsters wearing bright red feathers were flying in the sky, and crystal-like feathers shone under the moonlight, like blooming red roses.
At the same time, the earth began to shake. People in the city-state suddenly felt something was wrong when they heard the tremor of the earth that had not been seen in ten years. Why did the houses be placed so hard? The rocky roads cracked with spider-web-like patterns, and some places were shattered due to the squeeze of the earth, and the barking of dogs was connected. Snakes and mice, who were usually in the dark, rushed to the streets, regardless of the danger of being run to the carriage.
"The gods are going to get angry! This is the anger brought by the gods. Punish those pagans who blaspheme the gods! Believers don't panic, God will protect you!" An old woman who respects God devoutly every day shouted, hoping to take this opportunity to show God's majesty, but was hit by the cracked roof, her head broke and she fainted.
The streets were in chaos and people were talking differently. Some thought it was the arrival of a great disaster, while others would all pass and would stop soon. Tomorrow, just build the house and you can continue your life.
"Hmph, this is just the beginning." Li Yi stared at the volcanoes carefully with his telescope, calculating the time, while Mani watched nervously.
Sure enough, a bigger earthquake broke out, and the huge metals underground were driven one by one. The earth was shaken violently. People would feel their insignificance in such natural disasters, as if they were in a small boat, bumping in the stormy waves, and there was no place to rely on. The solid and sudden earth that they rely most on and trusted on the earth abandoned us. The feeling of being down-to-earth was replaced by terrible shocks. Even the calmest people would panic, just like the most trusted friend who suddenly betrayed you and even wanted to take your life.
