Good luck with koi carp

On the day when floats parade through the streets, the entire flower town is bustling with activity.


There was cheerful and light music playing on the radio, and there were many balloons floating high and low in the sky. When they rose to a certain level, these balloons seemed to be suddenly popped by something invisible, and there was a sudden bang, It exploded and poured petals all over the sky, creating a beautiful rain of petals that caught everyone's attention.


"Wow! So beautiful!"


Chili passed by the street and heard people around her constantly sighing like this. She admired it for a while at first, but after a while she felt it was nothing, so she continued to run to get a vantage point and planned to visit the most important float parade today.


She had already observed in advance that in the middle of the street where the float parade must pass, there was a cafe on the corner. The shop had a second floor. She could go in and occupy the window position on the second floor to look out, so that she could see the outside with the greatest possible view. It's better to see all the performances than to be crowded with everyone down there.


"Welcome, dear guest."


Pushing open the door of the coffee shop, the gold and copper bell hanging on the door swayed, reminding you that there were customers in the store.


Immediately there were two waiters wearing animal doll costumes standing on both sides of the door, smiling warmly to welcome the new guests.


In fact, it is not accurate to say that they are doll costumes. The two waiters, a man and a woman, are wearing uniform-like costumes. The boy is a deacon and the girl is a maid costume. They are also equipped with animal ears and animal tails on their heads and backs. , it just looks... astringent.


Chi Li was so big, how could he have seen such a posture before? He couldn't help but took a step back and started to think about whether he should not enter this kind of store, or maybe find another one.


Perhaps because it was the first time for the customer to come to their store, and in order to attract more new customers, the waitress on the left wearing a maid outfit with white dog ears on her head shook her white tail, revealing a smile full of healing. With a sweet smile, he explained: "It's okay, customer. We are a serious coffee shop here. It's just because the store manager and waiters here are not pure human beings, so it looks a bit strange. I hope you don't mind."


Not a pure human being.


"Then you are... orcs?" Chi Lizhu guessed based entirely on their physical appearance.


"Well, it's considered a hybrid of orcs, so we can't completely put away our animalistic signs, and we can't fully transform into animals, because we are not very strong and are excluded in the group, so we might as well run out on our own after adulthood. Live.”


So that's it, she said that these people all looked real with animal ears and tails, and they didn't look like they were pretending, but it turned out that they were really real.


Chi Li has long known that there are many different races in this world. Some of them are like humans, and some are not, but basically they all have their own cultural inheritance, can also communicate with foreigners, and can trade with each other, so among the human race It is not surprising to see people of other races in the world. This is similar to the fact that in the modern world, foreigners go abroad to work.


After understanding it, Chi Li was not so shocked. She asked to make sure there was a seat by the window upstairs, ordered a cup of coffee and some desserts downstairs, and then went to find a seat upstairs.


The windows on the second floor of the cafe are large expanses of huge transparent crystals, allowing people to fully enjoy the sunshine and clearly see the distance and the street view below.


Even if there are no float parades, there should be many customers who like to sit here and enjoy coffee and cakes quietly on weekdays.


Chi Li arrived early, and there were three seats left by the window. She chose the one with the best view, and sat down quietly, holding her chin in one hand and looking at the huge floor-to-ceiling window.


The material of this floor-to-ceiling window is not glass, which Chili has discovered a long time ago. It is more like a transparent natural crystal, and the price should not be too expensive. On the way, she saw many homes using this crystal as window glass. .


Glass should not exist in this world, after all, they have other alternatives.


There were a lot of thoughts in her mind, but it didn't mean that Chili would ignore the changes in the surrounding environment. When she found a familiar tall figure sitting a few seats behind her, Chili struggled for a while, thinking whether she should If you scare him in the past, you should continue to pretend not to know.


But I've been pretending all this time, and it's boring to keep pretending.


The balance in her heart was suppressed by this thought. Chili suddenly stood up with lightning speed, passed by the waiter who was walking to serve her, and immediately pounced on the tall figure who reacted and wanted to run away. , the voice is full of the excitement of a cat catching its prey: "I got you!"


Being hugged all of a sudden, the tall figure's whole body stiffened instantly.


After waiting for a while, seeing that he was still dumbfounded and unresponsive, Chili raised her hand dissatisfiedly to lift the hood that covered his face. When her hand was about to touch the edge of the hood, a big hand with distinct joints clicked The child clasped her slender wrist.


"How did you find me?"


A magnetic voice with a little annoyance came from under the hood, speaking in the common language of the human race, which was not surprising.


Chili had long known from the inherited memory given to her by the golden dragon that this dragon was quite knowledgeable. In addition to the innate dragon language, he also learned the common language of the human race, the language of elves, the language of ancient orcs, etc.


"I've noticed you from the beginning, and I don't know how to disguise it better if I want to follow you." Chili snorted, and simply dragged Ashiks by the arm and led him to sit down at his dining table.


He didn’t forget to tell the waiter next to him: “Please bring his meal to this table.”


After giving a little tip, the waiter smiled and nodded: "Okay."


"Let's sit here. We have a good view here. The float parade will start soon." Chili happily shared the good seat she found with Ashix, without showing the least bit of the unpleasantness of being followed by her parents.


The other little dragon cubs who have just left the nest are so proud that they don't want to be followed by their parents. The euphemistic reason is to protect their safety. In the little dragon cub's view, this is the distrust of their elders in their own strength. Every time they are found, , they all have to have a good time.


This has caused the dragon parents' tracking skills to skyrocket. At least for now, every time the cubs in the clan run out to have fun, there is actually an adult dragon following behind them, but they don't notice it.


Therefore, Ashix's exposure is the first case in recent years. If Bielong finds out about it after he returns, he might even be laughed at.


Regardless of whether he is a king or not, if his tracking skills are not good enough, he will be laughed at if he is discovered.


In fact, Ashix's tracking skills are pretty good. If it were other little dragon cubs, he probably wouldn't be able to find them. Unfortunately, he met Chi Li. Her perception of the surrounding environment is not as rough as the little dragon cubs, and The powerful soul also gave her powerful fine perception, plus some experience bonuses, so it was completely destined that Ashix was discovered.


At first, she was worried about the face of the adults. Chili was willing to play this kind of game of "you run with me" with others, but today she suddenly wanted someone to play with her. She felt uncomfortable if no one was watching such a lively event with her. It was a bit lacking, so she took advantage of the opportunity to catch Ashix.


Ashiks didn't express any regrets about being caught. He just sat at the same table with Chili obediently, waiting for the anticipated parade she talked about.


After a while, both of their meals were served.


Seeing that Ashiks only ordered a cup of coffee and looked alone, Chili pushed her side of a small fresh milk and fruit cake to him. Seeing the puzzled look in his dark golden eyes, Chili He just smiled and said, "I didn't know you could turn into a human being."


"It's just a little transformation magic. Dragons who have passed their childhood can use it." Ashix said: "It's also in the inheritance I left you. If you are interested, you can also learn it. In addition to humans, you can also Transform into other races, but this change is only superficial and cannot be changed from the inside."


This means that even if they look like humans, they are still essentially a giant dragon, not a real person, and they cannot possess the unique racial talents of humans.


"Of course, if you can have something by changing something, wouldn't it be too outrageous." Chili flipped through it and found relevant knowledge in the inherited memory, but she also knew how to transform and illusion. No matter which one can change the appearance, it can confuse others and hide oneself. I feel that this kind of transformation magic is a bit dispensable, so I will put it aside for now and learn it later when I have time.


During the chat, there were suddenly several pops in the sky, and many balloons exploded. Many colorful petals fell down, giving the whole town a rain of petals, making this town named Flowers even more beautiful. True to its name.


The crowd below cheered. Judging from the situation, the event was about to begin.


Sure enough, after the rain of petals, a burst of melodious and cheerful music gradually came, accompanied by a long team.


The big one is a flower-shaped float decorated with various bright flowers. There are many people in dance costumes dancing to the music. From time to time, they will grab a handful of crystal things from the big flower basket in the middle and throw them out. , causing passers-by to cheer and snatch.


Chili couldn't see clearly what they were sprinkling at first, but it wasn't until the float gradually approached that she realized it was candies wrapped in crystal sugar wrappers.


This may be to give visitors happiness.


There are several similar sugar-throwing floats, mixed in with some performance floats, including puppet shows, dancers, and various gorgeous magic performances.


"It turns out that the magic here can be used not only for fighting, but also for performances." Chili sighed.


Ashiks glanced at it, then looked away without interest, and said: "Normally, some human magicians are not strong enough and cannot make a living relying on their abilities in combat, so they have to find other ways to work and make money to make a living."


"You're so understanding. Have you ever lived in the human world before?" Chi Li said this out of pure curiosity.


"Well, I traveled across the continent when I was young, and I also visited the residences of various races." Ashix nodded honestly. He also passed on this part of his experience to Chi Li, but the memories of others always seemed not as good as those of other people. Her personal experience was profound, so in fact, this kind of memory is a bit vague for Chi Li, not as profound as those teaching dragon magic and various knowledge, so if she didn't really meet him in person, she would not be able to think about it for a while. stand up.


"You have also been to the elves."


Discovering this surprise from the memory given by Ashiks, Chili's eyes sparkled: "Ashiks, do you know where the Elf Forest is? Why is it not mentioned in your memory?"


Ashiks shook his head: "I was also invited to go there, and I used the one-time teleportation magic circle given by the elves, so I don't know where the Elf Forest is exactly. I just remember that it was an endless forest, hidden in the forest. Within the protective barrier naturally formed by the Tree of Life, it would be difficult for outsiders to find where to go without receiving an invitation."
The implication is that if Chili is really curious about the elves and wants to see them with her own eyes, instead of searching blindly like a headless fly, she might as well wait for him to take her with him when he is invited over next time.


"Then it's agreed, you can take me with you next time."


Afraid that Ashiks would regret it, Chi Li still reached out her hand very childishly to hook up with him.


Ashiks also indulged her, letting the little guy's slender fingers caress his thick fingers. Not only the size of their hands, but also the contrast in color was obvious.


The skin color of Ashix who transformed into a human form is not fair like Chili, but a wheat color full of wildness and strength. His hair and pupils are the same as when he entered the dragon, which is the same golden color, but his eyes occasionally change into If the dragon's vertical pupils look at someone, it will give people an extremely dangerous feeling, as if they are being topped by a ferocious beast.


Chili was used to seeing him, and was pampered by Ashiks to the point where she wasn't afraid of him at all, so she didn't feel anything about it.


She simply felt that when Ashix turned into a human form, the patterns on the surface of his skin and face were a bit beautiful, like some kind of mysterious totem, full of wild beauty.


It makes her want to touch it and see how it feels.


However, before Chili really had the courage to take action, she suddenly heard a noise coming from below, accompanied by some screams, and then she could clearly feel that the sky was getting darker.


The perception in his mind kept shouting that danger was coming. Guided by it, Chili raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window.


I saw countless giant magic arrays flashing with ominous gray-black light. They were constructed with petals scattered all over the sky and the places where floats paraded on the ground as patterns. The layers surrounded the entire flower town, and those who ate the candy His body had curled up in pain and fell to the ground. The vitality in his body was being continuously absorbed by the magic circles surrounding the town, serving as the source of power for its successful construction.


"If this continues, those people will die."


Chili could see that those who ate the candies did not have their life force extracted directly from the beginning. Some of them had magic or fighting spirit, and this part of their power would be extracted first. When these powers are gone, Just started to draw out the life force.


But no matter what, if they continue to be whipped like this, these people will really die.


Standing up suddenly, Chili was about to help, but Ashix held her wrist down.


"?" Chili.


"This is not a battlefield you can involve in now, I will do it."


Ashiks broke through the window and floated outside, only heading towards the highest point, which was obviously the core of these formations.


The fierce wind dropped his hood, and his long, curly blond hair tilted out, as if he was filled with a layer of holy light. He raised his hand, and a magic circle condensed in his palm. The violent magic gathered instantly, Then at that moment, a powerful flame cannon was formed, and with a bang, it went straight to the center of the unknown formation.


It can be seen that the unknown formation is not something easy to deal with, but under the power of the dragon, it only struggled for less than half a second before it was shattered into countless pieces, scattered in the air, and gradually dissolved. for dust.


The core magic circle was forced, and other magic circles built based on it naturally gradually dissipated, interrupting the extraction of the victim's life force, allowing everyone to survive safely.


A crisis that should have been quite dangerous was easily resolved, and the people who survived the disaster were still in a daze, unable to recover.


Many people still fell to the ground in embarrassed postures, looking up at the mysterious man who suddenly appeared like a god, murmuring: "Great, I'm... saved."


"Asix..."


Ashix lowered her head when she heard the call, but saw Chili suddenly fainting without warning. She immediately rushed to her side, picked the person up horizontally, and then directly took the person and activated the teleportation magic to leave.


"Guest..." A waiter who saw this scene didn't know why he called out, but the two mysterious guests who saved them ignored him completely and disappeared in an instant with a burst of magic light. , leaving only two gold coins still spinning on the table.


"That...you paid too much."


The last sound disappeared near the seat where no one was seen.


"Elise, come and take a look." Ashix, who returned to Dragon Island in an instant, immediately asked for Elise, the light dragon who is good at healing magic, and wanted her to help take a look at his little thing. What's wrong.


Why did he pass out after everything was fine?Was there a sudden illness, or was he attacked by something without him noticing?


Iris, who heard the king's call, came quickly. She was placed in a pile of gold coins. Chili, who was still unconscious, immediately threw several check magics on her, but the result showed: "Everything is normal, he just fell asleep."


"Asleep?" Ashix frowned.


Who believes this?

Elise obviously knew that what she said was a little unreliable, so she threw out a few more advanced checking magics, and also added a few healing magics, but the result was the same.


The person was fine, and there was no sign of any mysterious attack, and he didn't know why he was unconscious for no reason.


I don't know how the two dragons outside are worried about her unconsciousness. Chili feels that she is dreaming. One of them is a precognitive dream, but it is not a precognitive dream, but if it is not, it is indeed something that will happen in the future. One of the branch lines of the matter, but now this matter has been eliminated at the source by her and Ashiks, at least in a short period of time, it will not happen again.


At this time, Chi Li seemed to have devoted herself to a resident of the flower town.


That day was also the day of the float parade. She happily went out to play with her family, and also grabbed a candy thrown from the float. However, she was thinking about leaving the candy at home and couldn't come out because she happened to be sick. My sister was watching the floats parade through the streets, so she didn’t eat.


The unexpected happened at this moment.


Everyone who ate the candy, including her family members, suddenly showed expressions of pain, and then the magical fighting spirit and even vitality in their bodies were continuously drained away by the evil magic circle that suddenly appeared in the sky and turned into a form to imprison them. The power of the entire flower town.


Then, as if hell had descended, the entire town was trapped in an evil formation, the sun was blocked, the sky was dark, and those who died because their vitality was drained suddenly moved their bodies and came back to life.


But their "resurrection" method is very terrifying. They are not just walking corpses, but skeletal undead souls that have broken free from their dead bodies. They laugh strangely, raise the weapons they don't know where they came from, and wave them at those closest to them. people.


The girl whose perspective was shared by Chili was lucky. When her family members also turned into skeletons and undead and wanted to attack her, she accidentally fell down while escaping and fell into a sewer without a secure lid. , but accidentally used it to escape.


The sewers were dirty and smelly, but at least she survived.


Enduring the great sadness of losing her family and the fear of facing disaster, the only thing that can support her survival now is her little sister who is still recovering from illness at home.


She had to live, otherwise what would happen to her sister?

After that, the girl struggled all the way to escape, and finally returned home in a state of embarrassment. She thought she could see her sister alive, and great hope just arose in her heart. When she opened the door to her sister's room, she saw that she had been opened by a bird. The undead skeleton crawled in through the window and slashed through the internal organs with an axe. Then the dead sister quickly turned into the undead skeleton in his heart, raising the broken spear in his hand to stab her fiercely.


But this time, the girl had no hope of survival. She just knelt down on the ground with a limp body, letting the spear pierce her heart. Warm blood seemed to spatter out and fell on her face. On the sister's body that became a skeleton.


"I'm sorry..." Before she died, she apologized uglyly with runny nose and tears: "I was late."


If, if I could be faster, would I be able to save my sister? What if... It's a pity that there is no if... So I'm really sorry. It was her useless sister who came too late and failed to protect her sister in time.


That's fine, let's die together.


It’s not bad for the whole family to get together among the dead.


The sister closed her eyes, and a new skeleton undead was born, and then went to kill other living people.


In just a few days, screams continued throughout the flower town, and then everything calmed down.


It wasn't that the undead skeletons left after they had killed enough people, but that after they killed all the living people, they actually ran back to their own corpses and buried the skeletons inside. Then those people who were supposed to be dead actually stood still. Get up, as if nothing had happened, and live life as usual.


Even the magic circle that trapped the entire flower town disappeared. But from now on, anyone who enters the flower town will be infected by the beauty of this town and decide to settle here and never leave again. .


"The undead army's breeding nest."


This was the first thing Chili said when she opened her eyes after sleeping for two days and two nights.

This made Benji, who had been sleeping curled up next to her, raise his head in a daze and ask in a sweet voice: "What?"
