"If I hate someone, I will definitely kill her as soon as possible, and I can't keep her by my side for so long." Li Yi's words are very straightforward.

"When the middle of this month is over, I'm leaving, I'm going to do some work alone, can you go back by yourself?" After finishing dinner with Mani, he suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Mani was visibly caught off guard, "You're leaving?" If she had heard the news before, she would have cried, but after going through a lot of things, she was also a lot stronger, but she felt a strong sense of 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, I am going to snatch benefits in danger, your strength is too weak, not only can not help me, but will drag me down, you may be very sad to tell you this, but I can't waste time here with you to meet your needs, it's all over."

"So, then, will I ever see you again?" Mani's eyes were red.

"Of course, I will probably be able to finish everything in half a year, return to the academy, and prepare to participate in the Colt Cup and gain glory and wealth." Li Yi don't look over, he likes to be here, the time with Mani, but he knows the truth that the weak in this world can't survive, if he stagnates, he is likely to become Eddido in the hands of others, be deprived of all wealth, squeeze out the last secret and then ruthlessly kill.

The dinner ended in a sad atmosphere, Li Yi calculated that it was almost the middle of the month, and his plan would also be implemented, and some props were indispensable.

After getting three artillery pieces and a lot of black powder in the warehouse of the city guard, I was busy for a few hours, and I was done, and now I am waiting for the arrival of the moon tide.

The gold-level fire demon was spread flat on the table by him, and due to its size, it occupied most of the room, and Mani also came to help.

"Oh my God, you're so powerful, all the gold-level fire demons have been defeated by you!" Her little face was flushed with excitement, "Its eyes are like rubies!" ”

"Haha, if this gold-level fire demon was in its heyday, I would definitely not be able to defeat it, but I was seriously injured and I took advantage of it, so I brought it back." Li Yi cut open the belly of the fire demon, cleaned the internal organs and blood, and finely sprinkled the powder ground by salt and fire-based spirit crystals, ready to be made into dried meat. The Fire Demon's eyes were kept in a separate box and sent to the Fire Demon Club, where they were asked to soak in the cold pool's water.

Felder set up a fire on the roof, cut the ten-meter-long fire demon into pieces, hung it in wicker and roasted it, smeared it with spices and wine, and made the fire demon meat preserves, the fragrance wafted far away.

"These fire demon meat contains a large amount of flame essence, and it is very nutritious after removing the sulfur smell!" He carefully mastered the heat, in fact, the fire demon flesh was tough and hard, and only a monster like the Golgong Steel Spirit could digest it.

"When their clan was in ancient times, they relied on this method to temper their bodies, devouring some particularly hard metals, or the bodies of high-level spirits, while our Shadow Walker clan broke through in extremely dangerous battles, this time I want to break through from the blue level to the green level, follow the ancient system, and also go to assassinate a B-level spirit alone, break through in battle, and kill the other party to show the ferocity of the Shadow Walker." Alger explained.

"Do you know our people well? Don't say as if you know our people very well! Shadowwalkers also have a lot of assassins who can't die in front of their opponents. Felder was upset.

Alger didn't care, he said slowly: "Every excellent race has some impurities, those Shadowwalkers who can't assassinate themselves can't be called our people at all, but I heard that only Golgongs who sharpen their bodies with extremely hard metal are excellent, I don't know if you have the courage to do so." ”

"Bastard, you're provoking me! Personal tastes are different! Do you want to fight! Felder was even more annoyed and poked in the sore spot.

It has been more than half a month since Li Yi came to the Donok city-state, and after the moon tide tonight, he will leave the city-state, bid farewell to Mani, and embark on a new journey.

It's a low-lying place, the weather is wet and cold, and in the evening, a light rain often falls, and tonight is no exception, and the octagonal glass gas lamps on the side of the street are bubbling hot, looking like hazy orange oranges.

He stood at a fork in the road west of the city, with slippery black bricks under his feet, and a lot of grass growing from the cracks crushed by the load-loaded carriage, and the raindrops ticking on the black cloth umbrella. Not far away, a blacksmith shop was still burning with charcoal, and sparks shot out in all directions as the anvil fell, breaking the silence of the night with the rhythmic shouts of the iron-striking men.

However, this drizzle did not prevent the appearance of the moon, she was dimly radiant with brilliance, rising from the western sky, the thin clouds covered her delicate posture like a veil, and the inhabitants of the city-state went to the eaves to watch the moon through the rain curtain, most of them were old people, they had lived here all their lives, and such a full moon could only be seen once a year, for them, this was a special day, how easy it was for the cold moonlight to make people feel at peace, recalling some of the past, sighing.

Because of the cold weather, the old people wore leather jackets, burned a warm charcoal stove at their feet, and some even placed a table on which brandy and dishes were placed.

"This damn weather, it's damp and wet, I can't stand it!" Felder complained beside Li Yi, "I like heat and dryness. ”

"Be quiet, don't disturb those old people, tonight is an important day, it's not suitable for noisy yelling," Li Yi motioned to Felder to shut up, "Get out of the city, there will be a drastic change later." ”

He got into the carriage and was about to go to the hill outside the city, and a few days ago he had calculated the location, depending on the situation.

"Are you leaving?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind, and the shadow that appeared behind him was Mani.

Li Yi was taken aback, he originally left behind her back, thinking about it, if he said goodbye to Mani directly, I am afraid that he would have to be entangled for a long time, delaying his plan, but he didn't expect Mani to be keenly aware of his intention and wait for him here.

"Well, there's an urgent matter, I'm going to rush over now, and I'll come back to say goodbye to you after dealing with that matter." Li Yi explained with a smile that he raised his horsewhip and was ready to set off.

"You're lying! After dealing with that, you won't come back at all, will you! Mani shouted, already holding back her tears.

"Nonsense! How could I be like that? After I'm gone, you have to take care of yourself and go back to the academy alone, okay? Li Yi shook his head, pressed his neckline, unloaded the oil lamp on the left side of the carriage and hung it on the stable, waving the horsewhip, "Drive!" ”

Suddenly, Mani ran over and grabbed the upper edge of the carriage and jumped up, and then Li Yi felt a soft body pounce into his arms, like a kitten.

"Hmm" Before he could react, Mani pushed him away in a panic, his face buried in the darkness of the carriage, red and hot.

"I'll go with you, and then we will separate, I will return to the academy well, you must remember to write to me." After a long silence, Mani spoke.

"Well, I, write a letter." Li Yi agreed, he didn't know what to say, his head was full of the moment Mani threw himself into his arms, his heart was filled with an inexplicable feeling, and then Mani pushed him away, leaving a faint, good fragrance, like the umbrella fungus that came out of the bottom of the pine and oak trees in the rainy woods, the taste was jerky and sweet.

"You have to come back early, I'll be flustered if I can't see you." Mani hurriedly said again.

"Definitely, don't worry." In the bumping, the carriage went out of town, the wheels ran over the puddles, splashing a silvery white wave in the moonlight, the pine forests on both sides of the road were thin and straight, and the evening breeze brought the scent of rain, earth and pine resin.

Alger and Felder were two guys, talking in the language of spirits at the back of the carriage.

"That woman has a good chance of becoming the boss's spouse in the future." Alger's gossip fire was burning, and although he hid it well, like a hermit who didn't care about the world, he was still young after all, not the old fellows of the Shadowwalkers who hid in the dark all day.

"Nonsense, so thin, weak and incompetent, how could the boss want her? At the very least, a strong heifer-like woman is needed to ensure the quality of the offspring! Felder snorted and retorted.

"Don't look at women with the aesthetics of Gol Gonggangling, why don't you marry an elephant? Human beings are the most elusive of these things, they have both intellect and sensibility, but at all times only one can dominate, sometimes intellectual, sometimes emotional. Alger whispered, as if he were a veteran anthropologist.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds amazing, but probably you haven't seen the female Gore Gonggang Ling, they are big and strong, and their crotch is very wide, you know? This is convenient for breeding offspring, and it is also very cool to dry, only such a woman can ensure the continuation of the race, if you have seen it, you will be deeply fascinated by it, and your two little eyes are round! Felder said intoxicated.

"Isabella, I'm proposing to throw Felder into the hole, I can't stand him anymore!" Alger endured his anger and said to Li Yi, the only woman in the three spirits.

"I'm also in favor of throwing this monster with a savage and ugly worldview into the hole." Isabella was also clearly angry with Felder's view of women.

"Don't! Other! You guys!!! Felder screamed, shrouded in an illusion, and fell into a bottomless abyss, an abyss that never ends.

"This illusion is especially suited to Felder's bastard with a fear of heights." Alger gloated.

On the other side,

Li Yi suddenly felt uncomfortable, and wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, but what he said with a long time was: "Are you cold?"

"A little." Mani looked at him and lowered his head again, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, the carriage suddenly shook and bumped, as if it had tripped over some stone, Li Yi was suddenly startled, remembering that there was still a big thing to do today, which was related to the safety of this city-state - to stop the eruption of the volcano, this bad matter was solved, and he could leave the city-state cleanly.

"Tonight is a big day, you're going to see a big show, a plot being sniped." Li Yi seems to have found his tongue,

"What?" Mani's eyes widened in curiosity, "Is today a special day?" What does it have to do with conspiracy? ”

The moon had risen in the middle of the sky, and Li Yi's carriage had reached the volcanoes, and he climbed a hill and mounted three artillery guns.

"What are these guns for?" Mani carefully touched the dark back seat with his hand, and there were many potholes in the cold iron cast arch.

"Wait a minute, you will know, it's like magic, today, will be the most important day of this city-state, so you have to have some ceremonial flowers, otherwise you will lose the meaning of commemoration," Li Yi gestured, and finally found a suitable word, "It's like, a symphony." ”

The moon grew brighter and brighter, and the bright moonlight broke free from the shackles of the clouds and mist, splashing and smashing into the volcanoes, and the long chirping of the fire demon could be heard in the distance.

"Hula!" As if pulling open the floodgates to intercept the river, the hordes of fire demons could not resist the temptation of the moonlight on them, and flew into the sky like a tide to chase the moonlight.

The long roar resounded through the sky, Mani was stunned, she grabbed the hem of Li Yi's clothes, and stared at this extraordinary scene with wide eyes, countless fire demons with bright red feathers were soaring in the sky, and crystal feathers were shining in the moonlight, like red roses in full bloom.

At the same time, the earth also began to shake, and the people in the city-state suddenly felt that something was wrong when they heard the trembling sound of a great earthquake that had not been seen in ten years. The rocky pavement was cracked with cobweb-like lines, in some places it was crumbled by the squeezing of the earth, the barking of dogs was continuous, and snakes and rats, usually in the shadows, hurried into the streets, not caring that they were in danger of being run over by horse-drawn carriages.

"The gods are angry! This is the wrath of the gods to punish the infidels who blaspheme the gods! Don't panic, believers, God will protect you! "An old woman who was devout and godly every day raised her arms and shouted for this opportunity to show the majesty of God, but she was hit by a cracked roof, her head was bleeding, and she passed out.

The streets were in a mess, and people were divided, some thought it was a catastrophe, others said that it would all pass, that it would soon stop, and that tomorrow they would be able to move on with their lives as long as the house was repaired.

"Hmph, that's just the beginning." Li Yi stared at the volcanoes carefully with his binoculars, counting the time, while Mani watched nervously.

Sure enough, a bigger earthquake broke out, and the huge metals in the ground were moved one by one, and the earth shook violently, and people would feel their insignificance in such a natural disaster, as if they were in a small boat, jolting in the stormy waves, and there was no place to rely on, a solid sudden land, the most relied on and trusted earth on weekdays abandoned us, and the feeling of being down-to-earth was replaced by terrible shocks, and people who were usually calm would also panic, just as the most trusted friend suddenly betrayed you, Even to take your life.

"Oh my God, what's going on? Is it a major earthquake? Why, why is this happening at this time? Mani hugged Li Yi's waist and bent down in fear, the violent shaking of the ground made her limbs weak.
