Chapter 17 Assassin
Today is almost time, and it is time to put this body back into your hall to pretend to be asleep and transfer your consciousness back to the scholar's body.
There was no other echo in the quiet book pavilion except his footsteps. In this ghost town, although the beech tree spirit opened this bookcase alone out of preference, there were actually not many ghosts who really loved reading, so most of the time there was no one here, leaving the lonely beech tree spirit alone in this vast sea of books.
When he was about to leave the third floor of the Book Pavilion, his eyes subconsciously swept across the wooden staircase leading to a higher level in the corner.
In fact, strictly speaking, this book pavilion has a fourth floor, but only the lower three floors are open to allow outsiders to enter and exit. The fourth floor is also the real body of the beech tree spirit. It is not welcome to visit outsiders. Even the Nightmare Dragon King is not easy to force the forbidden area.
A few warm and gentle light oozing out between the closed doors, which made people wonder what the scene was like. According to her, it was a transformation of some scenes in her own memory, which was not worthy of being told by outsiders.
He shook his head slightly and did not continue to explore other people's privacy.
However, when Du Bai walked out of the book pavilion, a figure who had been waiting at the door for a long time had already greeted him with joy.
"king……"
This graceful and beautiful woman is the loyal peach blossom demon. Since he has been sleeping for a while, he has always been the other party to manage this city that is in ruins on his behalf. His methods are quite good, and everything is in order. In addition, whenever he goes out, he will take time to follow him.
At this time, the other party was more like a obedient little maid.
"Well, go back." Du Bai looked majestic and deep, and just swept the other party and said slowly.
The two of them walked one after another on this street that had been re-turned by the ghosts. You could vaguely hear the sound of ghosts when they started working, and the children's "twittering" laughter.
If you don't care about the human head lantern floating in the air, the smiling paper people looming in the corner of the wall, and the weird monsters, this place is basically the same as a normal human city.
"You did a good job." Du Bai looked at the few little fairies chasing and fighting not far away, and said lightly without looking back.
Rewards and punishments are the ways for superiors to deal with the world. Although you have nothing to reward for the time being, you should also give some encouragement verbally.
"Thank you, King..." A little joy came from the peach blossom demon's face. She worked so hard and had been nervous for so much, and finally got the recognition of those who cared about it.
But then she hesitated for a moment and reported: "Wang, these children were taken in to the city some time ago. Their parents died tragically because of the Taoist monks, leaving them alone and perhaps eaten by some wolf, jackal, tiger and leopard. The subordinate couldn't bear it for a while, so..."
She felt a little uneasy. After all, the ghost town has not yet stabilized. The sudden acquisition of many unfamiliar and useless little monsters may make the king dissatisfied. However, when she thought of her childhood, she still couldn't make her feel cruel.
She still remembered that it was snowing that day. By chance, she sucked the dew of heaven and earth and became a monster. She was starving and frozen, and could only curl up her little naked body in the woods around her that had not yet transformed. However, she happened to be discovered by a passing human hero, who wanted to kill her to avoid harming the people.
But she clearly never killed an ant...
When she thought she was about to die, the great king defeated the abominable human to save him with one palm, and brought him to the ghost town, giving her a warm and safe place to live.
She still remembers the warmth that wrapped around her cloak, and will never forget the future.
It is also because of this that she realized that since humans hate them so much, if they don’t even help each other, the future will inevitably be dark.
But what surprised her was that Du Bai not only did not blame her for this, but instead nodded slightly: "It's okay, it's better to say that if we can collect more of these homeless monsters and have more people and more power, our ghost town will become stronger and stronger."
He was deeply taught on the earth, and he believed that only quantitative change would cause qualitative change, especially since these little guys were still in a ignorant period, they would naturally be more loyal to themselves after a brainwashing education. As long as they give some small favors, they could invisibly restrain people's hearts and make their power grow stronger!
"yes!"
The peach blossom demon blinked his eyes and quietly looked at Du Bai's eyes becoming more and more enthusiastic and respectful.
He is worthy of being the king of his loyalty!
Although she didn't know that the two were not considering the same aspect, for her, it would be fine as long as the results were consistent.
However, just as the two of them were talking and walking across the street corner, Du Bai had not noticed, but the peach blossom demon suddenly changed his expression. He took a step forward and waved his palm, blocking a small figure that suddenly jumped out of the side street corner.
"who!"
Her face turned cold, and she looked at the "assin who wanted to attack the king", with a bit of murderous intent in her eyes.
Of course she would not think that the king did not find the person coming, but just thought that the king was testing her loyalty and strength at this moment. If she had her here and could still get the enemy close to the king, then she would be very responsible for her death!
But what she didn't expect was that although Du Bai, who was protected by her, remained unchanged, she felt a little embarrassed. This body has not yet recovered, so her perception ability has been greatly reduced, and she didn't pay attention to it on her territory.
If I were really hit, I'm afraid I would be really embarrassed! It seems that I'll still have to keep some thoughts next time...
But he immediately looked at the person who came curiously, wondering who dared to hit him so boldly.
Just a glance, he was stunned for a moment. It was a vixen cub.
Most of his body has turned into human shape, with only a pair of pointed plush ears on his head and a fox tail behind him.
However, her age is at most six or seven years old, and she probably isn't even his thighs even if she stands up.
At this moment, this little guy was blocked by the peach blossom demon and fell to the ground with his butt, looking quite embarrassed.
Du Bai looked away, and there were a few little monsters about her age, looking at this place. It was obvious that these little guys were just playing, but they didn't expect to cause a big disaster!
