The Spirit World

Chapter 636 The Long Beginning

Fran has hung many heads of rebels on the weathered city walls, and one of them belongs to Saturday. The light of the Philosopher's Stone burns the eyes of any person with a conscience through the seven holes of those heads.

This is the most direct warning.

"Damn..."

A hooded woman leaned sideways on a tree, looking at Saturday's head blowing in the wind. Saturday's hair was cut off one by one by the wind. She suppressed her nausea and jumped down from the tree.

"Saturday is dead..." She shook her head and sighed as she sat down.

The bonfire under the tree was as bright as a lamp.

Her exposed green hair was half red and half green under the bonfire. She looked at the bonfire and threw a branch into it.

The branches were sizzling with smoke from the inside, giving off a tree-like fragrance.

"Dead? I thought the Ministry of Magic's sign was really useful..."

A one-eyed man sat next to her, turned sideways, put his head on her legs, turned sideways and closed his eyes. They had a very close relationship. The woman smiled, touched his head and stroked his hair.

"After all, he was just a scout. If he dies, he dies. Our target is the treasure of that female thief Victoria. Once we get it, we'll run away." The man smacked his lips, as if he had just enjoyed something he had eaten and was still savoring the taste.

"I think it's a pity that we lost a scout. Now we have to start all over again... We didn't bring any intelligence on Saturday... We are such a waste." The woman scratched the man's hair, pulled the skewers of meat from the shelf, and started eating them in big mouthfuls.

"Don't drip oil in my hair, Friday."

"Monday, then don't sleep like this, someone is watching you."

Monday Friday looked at the person opposite the campfire. It was a tall and thin man who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.

He was very tall, and even with his back against the tree, his legs were stretched out. However, he leaned back very gentlemanly, with his legs tucked in politely, making people feel that it must be very uncomfortable for someone of his height to sit like this.

However, he did not appear by the campfire, but sat beside it to rest.

Everything about him seemed to be hidden in the darkness, and he could only be seen occasionally through tongues of fire blown by the wind.

The weather was very cold, with a chill wind blowing. July was the month with the biggest temperature difference between day and night in Fulan. His clothes were very thin, but he never sat by the campfire. Far away was Fulan, where the wind blew non-stop, as if there was an endless stream of people entering the city.

"Hey, aren't you really coming over to warm yourself by the fire?" In Zhou Yi's eye, the man in the fire flickered, and the burning new branches began to make crackling sounds.

He didn't answer, which made Zhou Yi sit up. He held his hair and pushed it back in dismay. Zhou Yi's hair was smooth, and as soon as his hand passed over it, the hair began to become smooth. His one eye began to follow that man and never changed.

"You don't have to be so reserved. There are so many monsters this generation. I see you don't have anything valuable on you, so you don't need to worry about us robbing you. We are also poor, so we are not afraid of you robbing us. In this broken place, we can take care of ourselves and won't be killed by monsters at night."

While eating barbecue on Friday, he spit out a small bone. The bone fell into the bonfire and emitted a slight stench.

She looked at the quiet man and took another big bite of the meat. The meat had no seasoning and tasted terribly bad, but if she didn't eat it, she would be very hungry.

If there is something to eat, just eat it, it’s meat.

The man ignored Zhou Yi and stretched out his legs as if to rest, and let the other leg suffer.

"Don't be so polite, right? In the past, everyone had someone to take care of you when you went out. But now that the world is almost ending, there's no need to be so reserved. Just talk it out and stop hiding things." The man seemed to glance at Zhou Yi's single eye and blinked. His black pupils were shining with the brilliance of stars.

This person has an extraordinary background, but he does not seem to have anything valuable. His depth happens to be his biggest trump card.

When you get closer, this person's aura makes you dizzy.

"It seems that you are not an ordinary person. How about you come into the city and join us? If we succeed, I will give you 10% of the profit. How about that?" Zhou Yi slowly stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve with his other hand, then put his hands on his knees, looking like he was negotiating but also unnaturally lazy.

"One percent... You give one percent to such a great adventurer?" Zhou Wu smiled awkwardly and threw the bone he had already gnawed clean into the campfire. The campfire was suppressed by the bone, and the flames were dim and almost went out. The man seemed to have suddenly disappeared into the darkness and could not be seen even by the light of the fire.

But when we knew he was there on Monday and Friday, he didn't move at all, as if he was just resting quietly.

"Then, 30%?" Monday looked at Friday, and Friday still shook his head with interest.

"You don't know what's good for you... Why would this guy, no, this adventurer, no, warrior, no no no, a strong man care about such a small profit? If we want to win over this warrior, of course we have to do something big."

Friday licked her fingers. This time, she smiled happily: "You said, my guess is right?"

The man smiled, no longer able to sit idle, and in the darkness, both Monday and Friday could hear his chuckle, as if Friday had guessed it right, and although he still didn't speak, his attention was definitely drawn.

"What are you doing here? Can you tell me your name? Even if it's a pseudonym, that's fine. We use pseudonyms, or in other words, we don't have names."

This is not an introduction of one's identity, but an exchange. The names of Monday and Friday are fake. If the looming man also uses a fake name, everyone will feel more relaxed unconsciously.

"Chang Yufeng..."

The man's voice was deep and masculine. His voice was very pleasant, and he spoke his name in a rhythmic manner. Regardless of whether it was a pseudonym or not, Friday felt very happy.

Even her happiness was fake.

"Um...Oh, Mr. Chang Yufeng, why did you come to such a dangerous place? Can you tell me?"

Friday looked at Monday, and Monday looked at her with interest. He leaned his whole body on her, lay comfortably, and let out a long sigh.

"Can you reveal it to me? Hahaha... Friday, you're so funny~" He hooked Friday's nose with his hand, teasing her naturally.

"Because of Victoria."

Chang Yufeng's voice came in the darkness. He put his hands inside his clothes, not because he was cold, but because he found it very interesting. He was like a child listening to a story and rubbing his hands excitedly when he encountered something that interested him.

"Excuse me, is this the Victoria I know?"

"Yes, you are right, Victoria, Duchess Victoria."

"But, she died a long time ago..."

Friday was a little shocked, and her shock was a little fake, which made her voice so loud that Monday turned his head to look at him.

"She's not dying, she's just gone."

Chang Yufeng looked at the bonfire and just blinked his eyes, and the fire flickered unexpectedly for a long time.

Although he was not next to the fire, he still let the fire follow him, flickering deeply.

"Everyone says she's dead." Zhou Yi smiled happily: "Brother, Victoria, I don't even know how long she's been dead... Although we all know she just doesn't want to take care of this mess, but as long as she's gone, it's the same as being dead..."

"I think so. That's the effect she wanted."

Chang Yufeng stretched out his legs, and after five seconds, he put them back together. "You go find her treasure, and I'll go find her."

"Hey, that's right...Everyone explained what they want, and it's open. Different goals, different ideas, but we are indeed the same team."

Monday kissed Friday's face lightly and put his hand on Friday's shoulder. He raised his head and looked at the darkening sky between the woods. Perhaps his eyes were not used to it yet, the sky disturbed by the wind became crooked and no longer stunning.

"You're going to find a dead person?" Zhou Wu didn't think it was so funny. He just felt that this man named Chang Yufeng said something very happy, rather than simply surprising. It was normal for a strange person to say something strange.

Same as them.

Saturday died.

They were still happy, talking and laughing.

Isn't it strange...

"No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that it is possible that the Duke of Victoria faked her death. Many people think that she is not dead, but is hiding. However, a notary should not appear in the current situation, and she is unwilling to clean up the mess, so she left." Friday withdrew his surprise and looked at the flickering bonfire. The flickering bonfire could not see the person in the shadow at all.

The man seemed to actually smile, no longer the obvious fake smile just now.

"If it were me, I wouldn't want to clean up this mess either." Monday said, and then he slid to Friday's thighs again, slowly resting his head on them, and happily closed his eyes: "But if you give me real gold, I can clean up any mess, anyone's mess, including my own."

"Come to think of it, Duke Victoria might have really faked his death. You really seem like a mysterious person who knows the inside story. If Duke Victoria faked his death and changed his name like us, maybe it is not impossible." Friday tilted his head, touched his neck, turned his head, and touched Monday's head again with his hand.

"You want to go to Victoria's house and steal her treasure?"

Chang Yufeng obviously already knew why these two people appeared here, but he still asked.

"Hey, steal? No, no, no. Are you going to make a fuss about finding a jellyfish in an abandoned house and then get reported and put in jail?" Monday obviously didn't like what Chang Yufeng said. He looked at Friday from below, like a beautiful woman with her chin up and her head raised, looking at everything by the campfire.

"I also think this is inappropriate, Mr. Chang Yufeng." Friday also denied this statement.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

Chang Yufeng put his hands on the ground. Maybe his legs were a little numb from sitting, so he kept changing his sitting position.

"It's ok."

"It's ok."

Friday and Monday answered in unison. They turned towards Chang Yufeng and asked Chang Yufeng to keep staring at them.

"Do you want to join us? Mr. Chang Yufeng, we are all joining the same place. With your joining, the success rate will be very high. Even if you are not doing it for the money, we will give you a share of it, and you can live a good life for the rest of your life. In any peaceful area, you can be rich and prosperous."

Monday's voice also raised and he yawned.

"There are three of us. We can divide it into three parts. The extra part can be given to the civilians. It can be regarded as robbing the rich to help the poor."

"I probably can't be with you guys, but I won't stop you, even if we need to go to the same place."

"Is it because you think we won't succeed?"

"No."

"why?"

"Because I think people are sometimes really interesting. Even in such an environment, they can still live happily and without worries."

"What do you mean?"

“I think you guys are interesting.”

"Don't scare us... We can't stand being scared."

Friday and Saturday took turns talking to this mysterious man, even though he only looked at them.

What does this mean?

"We don't have any money... You are obviously strong, you wouldn't rob two poor people..."

Monday closed his eyes and his ears moved again and again to the crackling sound of the campfire.

"If you want to rob us, you have to wait until we succeed... We are two paupers. I don't want to say you are the same, but I know that you are basically penniless. You smell good, you don't look like someone who would rob others, but I have seen many beasts in human clothing. If you want to kill people and rob goods, you have to pick a fat one, right?"

Monday looked at Friday's face and blinked.

"Zhou Yi, please don't tease our Mr. Chang Yufeng. He is a gentle man and would never do anything to rob people. Don't treat everyone as if they are you."

Friday looked at Monday, and Monday closed his eyes again.

"This world is already like this, and you still have money... Don't you feel tired? Shouldn't you stay away from Fran? This place was just bombed by magic cannons."

Chang Yufeng twisted his neck and perked up.

He took his hands out of his trouser pockets and began to put his head on the grass under the tree. There was no grass in the place, only the coldest mud. If he slept there, he would be cold all night long. Even the grass was icy cold.

Chang Yufeng never showed his face in the dark night, but lay quietly in the dark night.

He rested his head on his arms, slowly fell to his side, looked at the fire, and slowly closed his eyes.

He seemed to be starting to feel sleepy, but he didn't fall asleep for long.

"Flan really doesn't have much on guard during the day, but at night, it's as if all the Tiger Chasers have woken up and are patrolling so closely..."

Friday also slowly lay down, and Monday also slowly lay up.

Monday and Friday huddled together, keeping each other warm.

The bones in the campfire crackled and gave off a slight stink...

That is the fragrance of bones...

"Saturday is dead, so I have to stop my plan for a day to avoid the limelight... It will be fine... Monday."

"I think so, too. Friday..."
