Chapter 1554 The story of a young man on the border (the jumping and rolling cat)
When Litt walked out of the door, it was morning.
He put on his armor, took his weapons, raised his head and looked at the sky, and determined the time.
“Ah, brother.”
At this moment, a crisp and sweet voice sounded. Litt lowered his head and saw a girl with playful brown curly hair greeting him with a smile. That was her sister Ailian. At this moment, she was washing clothes by the river, while waving to herself vigorously.
"Good morning, brother, are you going to patrol?"
"Um."
Litt held the long sword at his waist tightly and nodded. He was just a militia here and was mainly responsible for inspecting the surrounding villages on weekdays. Although he was only guarding against wild beasts at most, with the invasion of the Demon King Army, he had to mention his twelve-point spirit. Even if there were checkpoints from the Kingdom Army nearby, it did not make him relax his vigilance.
"Be careful on the road...ah, by the way."
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 his sister''s words, Li Ti nodded.
"I''ll go see her."
"Well, please brother."
After saying this, Litt turned around and left, while Ailian stared at Litt''s back and clenched her fists hard.
"Come on, brother, I''m optimistic about you!"
Following the country road, Litt came to the cemetery in a 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 her, Lit couldn''t help but sigh, and then he walked to Mina silently to accompany her.
Mina''s parents were killed by the demon clan, not recently, but a few years ago, perhaps the remnants of the Demon King Army who wandered here. At that time, Mina was just a child, and their parents were killed by the demon clan to protect them. Litt and Mina grew up together. He still remembered that Mina''s parents were very upright and kind good people, but they were killed so unreasonably. It is precisely because of this that when he saw Mina''s heartbroken appearance at the funeral, Litt secretly made up his mind to protect Mina, so he joined the militia regiment.
Even if he is not as good as the weather now, one day, he will use the sword in his hand to protect Mina.
"Ah, Little, you''re here."
After a while, Mina finished her prayer and turned to look at Litt. The latter nodded and stared at Mina.
"How are you?"
"I have no idea."
Mina shook her head.
"It''s been several years. I thought I would forget it silently, but every time I come here, I will clearly think of what happened that day, as if it happened yesterday. I can''t forget the ugly appearance of the demon clan at that time. If I can, I even want to kill those demon clans with my own hands. But..."
Speaking of this, Mina lowered her head and looked at her hands.
“I can’t do anything.”
“…………”
Hearing the sigh of childhood sweetheart, Litt didn''t say anything, but just clenched his fists. And just then, Mina raised her head and looked at Litt.
"Lit, I''m very worried. I don''t want you to die like they do. If you die, I''ll have nothing..."
“………………”
Litt turned his head and looked at his childhood sweetheart. Looking at her wet eyes, Litt suddenly felt a change. For Litt, Mina is a childhood sweetheart who grew up with her childhood. They have a good relationship. He still remembers the scene where they brought Ailian to play around.
But now, under the sunlight, Litt looked at the other person''s fair cheeks, moist eyes, bright and soft blonde hair, and the figure that showed slightly curved in his dress under the sunlight. Suddenly I felt my heart beating. In his memory, Mina was still a carefree girl, but the one standing here was a girl. A beautiful young girl.
"I won''t die."
Little finally said this sentence from his mouth, and at the same time turned his head. For some reason, he didn''t want to face the passionate emotions contained in his wet eyes.
"I will protect you, Mina."
"………Um."
Hearing Litt''s answer, Mina silently lowered her head and whispered for a moment.
"I believe in you, Little."
“Yes, right, Mina.”
Perhaps because he wanted to dispel the strange atmosphere, Litt ruthlessly changed the topic.
"Do you know? Lord Brave came to our village."
"Ah, I already know this."
"Hey? Is that true?"
"Yes, I was called by the village chief yesterday and asked me to serve that brave Lord."
“That’s how…”
After all, Mina originally worked in a hotel, so it is natural for the village chief to ask her to serve the brave.
"Then have you met Lord Brave?"
"Well... Although it''s a bit vicious, I was unexpectedly a good person and was very kind to me."
"Somewhat vicious? What was unexpectedly a good person?"
Hearing Mina''s answer, Litt was a little surprised. These words seemed not to be used to describe the brave. But now is not the time to ask questions, because it is getting late, and I am afraid that my partner has been waiting for him and it is time to patrol. After all, the general issued an order to increase the patrol shifts of scouts to prevent the demons from raiding. If they continue to talk, they will be late.
"Sorry, the time is almost over. I''m leaving. See you next time, Mina!"
"Ah, um...see you back."
Wave at Mina, then Litt turned around and left the cemetery, while Mina just stood there, looking at Litt''s back without saying a word.
When Lit arrived at the meeting place, his companions who had already been waiting there were already a little impatient.
“Really, where have you been!”
Like Litt, the woman wearing the same guard armor stared at him dissatisfiedly. Her name is Lilian, and she is a newcomer to join the security corps at the same time as Little. However, she joined two hours earlier than Little, and she has always treated Little as a predecessor. Of course, although Lilian was a little arrogant, she was a very caring person.
"Today our patrol route is a hill outside the village. If it is a little later, we may not be able to come back before the sun sets."
"Do you need to go up the mountain?"
“That’s right.”
Lilian shook her black double ponytail.
"Send patrols as much as possible to guard the surroundings, and any discoveries will be rewarded immediately... After all, this is not a remote village that is not in a dispute with the world, but the front line against the Demon King Army."
"To be honest, I still don''t feel real."
Walking beside Lilian, Lit looked around and sighed. Originally, this village was just a remote countryside in China that could not be remote. In addition to the locals, only people from nearby towns knew about it. But now, this place has become the front line against the Demon King Army...
"Me too."
Lilian walked beside Litt and whispered.
"But I will try my best to protect everyone, and aren''t the brave ones here too? With the brave ones here, we won''t lose!"
"A brave man... can he really defeat the Demon King''s Army?"
"Whatever you are saying is that the brave men of the Protective Kingdom have already destroyed one of the Four Heavenly Kings, so the brave men of our country will definitely not lose to the other party!"
"Um………"
Litt didn''t say much, just nodded and continued to carry out his mission.
When the two men finished their patrol mission, night had already fallen.
"It''s true, it''s all your fault. If you came earlier, we wouldn''t have to slander it now."
Walking back, Lilian complained unhappily, and Litt also knew that it was wrong, so he scratched his head with a wry smile.
"Sorry, Lilian, it''s all my fault."
"It''s good that you know, let''s hurry up. If it''s late, maybe even supper..."
Before she finished speaking, Lilian stopped, then she widened her eyes and looked forward.
"Wait, what''s going on there?"
"Why?"
Hearing Lilian''s voice, Litt raised his head and looked there. He saw a thick stream of black smoke rising into the sky, blending with the black night sky. Under the darkness, the burning flames were suddenly in his eyes.
"There is... a checkpoint! Damn it, is the attack of the Demon King Army coming? Hurry! Litt, we are going back!"
"good!"
At this moment, Litt also ran with Lilian. At this moment, all he was thinking about was his well-behaved sister and childhood sweetheart Mina. You must be safe and sound!
Perhaps it was because of good luck. When Lit returned to the village, there was no attack from the demons, but everyone was already in panic and ran to take refuge.
"Ai Lian? Have you seen Mina?"
Litt saw his sister at a glance, and rushed forward and asked loudly. When Ailian saw Litt come back, she was relieved 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 until now..."
"Damn it, she won''t go to the woods ahead!"
Hearing Ailian''s answer, Litt also felt a deep heart.
"I''ll go find her, you go take refuge with everyone!"
"Okay, brother...be careful!"
Although he was a little unwilling, Ailian nodded obediently and then turned around and left. Litt also rushed out of the village and ran towards the woods.
Just as Litt came to the entrance of the woods, he saw a figure lying on the ground, surrounded by two snake-headed monsters.
That''s Mina!
"Mina!!"
Seeing this scene, Litt was also furious. He yelled and rushed forward, raised his sword and rushed towards the demon clan in front of him. The two demon soldiers obviously did not expect someone to suddenly rush out, and they were also shocked at this moment. He quickly turned around to attack, and at this moment, Lit was extremely angry and exerted his power far beyond his usual ones. He swung his sword and cut off the head of one of the demons. Then he accelerated and rushed into the arms of another demon clan. Before the other party could react, he saw the sharp blade piercing through the demon clan''s head from bottom to top.
It was not until this time that Litt stopped panting and looked at Mina.
"Mina, are you okay!"
“Lit…!”
At this moment, Mina also jumped up, pounced on Litt''s arms, and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you, Little...thank you...!"
“Mina……”
Take Mina’s trembling spine gently, Litt said nothing, while Mina held Litt with her backhand and exerted more force.
"Lit...you''re really stronger, different from before..."
As he spoke, Mina raised her head and looked at the girl at this moment, Litt also felt moved inside.
“Mina……”
At this moment, in Lit''s eyes, there seemed to be only the girl in front of him. Everything in the world seemed to no longer exist. He slowly lowered his head and approached Mina...
“Boom!”
However, at this moment, suddenly, a huge black shadow fell from the sky and fell to the two of them. The two of them came to their senses. They looked closely and were shocked - they saw that in front of them was a giant monster several meters tall, strong, and with six arms!
"Hahahahahaha, human, delicious human! I finally caught it!"
"Get out, devil!"
Litt blocked Mina''s face and raised the sword in his hand. However, the latter just glanced at him. The next moment, the sword in Litt''s hand turned red. Feeling the irresistible hot and high temperature, Litt hurriedly threw the sword down. Then he saw that the long sword completely turned into a pool of bright red steel on the ground!
Is this also the power of the demon clan? !
"Hahaha, mere mortals are trying to stop me, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and I am really seeking death!"
The huge demon at this moment sneered again. When Litt and Mina heard the other party''s words, they suddenly stiffened.
Four Heavenly Kings?
Is this demon in front of you one of the four heavenly kings of the Demon King Army?
"Mina, run!"
At this moment, Litt gave up life and death. He picked up a branch from the side and then rushed straight towards the demon in front of him! However, as soon as he started, he felt his eyes turn dark, then he flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.
"No, Little——!"
At this time, Litt could hear the vague scream of Mina. What he saw in front of him was the demon reaching out to grab him - but then, one hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed the demon''s arm.
The next moment, Litt was completely trapped in the unconscious abyss of darkness.
“…………………”
I don’t know how long it took, but Litt woke up slowly. He sat up and looked around and found that he seemed to be in a strange room. And at this moment, the door was pushed open, and then Lit saw an old man walking in - it was the old village chief.
"Oh, Little, you''re awake!"
“Village Chief!”
Seeing the village chief, Litt was immediately excited.
"Where is this? Where is the village? How are you? Ailian, Mina..."
"Okay, calm down, Little."
The old village chief reached out and patted Lit on the shoulder.
"The village is safe and everyone is fine."
"It''s all okay? But the Four Heavenly Kings..."
"That''s right, the Four Heavenly Kings attacked, but we were all scared and thought we were dead. Fortunately, Lord Brave, who destroyed the Demon King''s army at a critical moment, arrived. He is truly worthy of being Lord Brave. He easily tore the terrible demon 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 is very tired, so I asked her to go back and rest. Mina came to visit you before, and seemed to have something to say to you, but she left so late. However, Mina''s home was destroyed by the Demon King Army, and she should live in the hotel now."
"That''s it...thank you, village chief."
Lit moved his body and nodded to the village chief to thank him.
"You''re welcome. I should thank you for your bravery. Oh... I''m sure I''m a brave man. Even a great demon of the level of the Four Heavenly Kings is vulnerable to him. Now it seems that our country is really saved... In short, it''s good to be safe. It''s already very late today. Let''s talk about the details tomorrow. Come home and rest quickly."
"Okay, thank you village chief."
Li Yi nodded and then left the village chief’s house.
Walking out of the house, I saw that there was indeed a mess around, but most of them were still well preserved. Seeing this scene, Litt breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned around and walked towards home, but halfway through, Litt saw the hotel not far away, and then he remembered Mina''s figure.
And everything that happened before.
“Mina……”
Litt murmured at the childhood sweetheart''s name, hesitated for a moment, but turned around and walked towards the hotel.
There was no one in the entire hotel. Litt pushed open the hotel door and walked into the hotel. He only saw a dim and uninhabited hall.
And just then, Lit heard a low, squeaking sound coming from the second floor. It was as if something was twisting, and Litt heard a sound in a vague way.
“Woo…um…um…um…”
“Mina?”
Although the voice is blurry, Litt can still hear the voice of his childhood sweetheart. After all, he grew up together. Could it be that Mina was injured?
Thinking of this, Litt hurriedly walked up the second floor and then came to the door of the guest room. Litt reached out, but the door was locked, and the sound from inside was still vague and audible.
“………”
Accompanied by the noise, the sound coming from it was intermittent.
Litt focused on it, but couldn''t hear it clearly.
“Sir……………………………”
"Isn''t it a problem?"
"Yes, sir, please leave it to me..."
“———!!”
The noise became more and more intense, and the originally vague sound also fluctuated.
"How could it be? This is even more---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Then, what''s the end?"
The voice inside paused for a moment, then rang again, as if Mina had made up her mind.
“……No…I’m fine, sir…”
Hearing this, Lit narrowed his eyes. What was Mina talking about? What exactly does she want to say?
"So what are you going to do?"
"Please use mine-please use mine-!"
The ears were roaring. At this moment, Litt only felt that he was not stepping on the floor, but in the clouds. He seemed to be in a dream, and he could not believe the words he heard in his ears. Is that the voice of my childhood sweetheart? Is it what she said?
Is that lively, cheerful, always greeting me with a smile, taking care of Ailian like an older sister, his closest childhood sweetheart, and he has such a side that I don’t know?
"Very good, then be ready!"
"yes!"
“———!!”
The noise of the mixed explosion was getting more and more violent, making people feel that the entire hotel was shaking, and the floor was constantly shaking, like an earthquake.
But at this moment, Litt only felt his mind blank.
