Without that fiery gaze, Yue Ji always felt that something was missing. She turned her gaze to the person beside her and said with slight annoyance, "Why are you lowering your head? There is no gold on the ground. "
Kino was stunned and raised his head blankly to meet Yue Ji's gaze. Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Kino's eyes revealed a trace of intoxication as he murmured, "I, I'm fine."
Yue Ji sighed softly and said, "Are you worried about him? Actually, what's the use of worrying? Dumb is really too much. He actually listened to that despicable person's slanderous words and abandoned Yue just like that. It's no wonder that Yue is angry. If it were me, I would never care about him. Yue is already lenient enough and even gave him a year's chance. Let's hurry up and go back to mobilize our mercenary group's forces so that we can find him as soon as possible. "…"
Listening to Yue Ji's words, Kino nodded and said, "Yes! Boss Dumb is too silly. If someone dares to tell me that you have any relationship with him, I will definitely use fire magic to burn him to death. "
Listening to Kino's affirmative tone, Yue Ji's heart trembled. She pretended to be angry and said, "What are you saying? What relationship do I have with you? What right do you have to interfere in my affairs? "
Kino was tongue-tied and couldn't say a word. The muscles on his face twitched a few times and his eyes revealed a trace of sadness. He lowered his head and slowly walked forward. As he spent more time with Yue Ji, his heart became more and more unable to extricate itself. He had already deeply fallen in love with this unruly and domineering girl. Every frown and smile of Yue Ji deeply affected his heart. He knew that in this life, he would probably never like another woman again. The affection he showed, Yue Ji had never responded to anything. They were about to reach the Red Mongol. Although Kino was worried for Dumb, he was even more dejected because he was about to be separated from Yue Ji. After this separation, he was afraid that he didn't know when they would meet again.
Yue Ji looked at Kino who was walking in front of her. Her heart was constantly churning with all kinds of feelings. She also didn't know how she should face this somewhat dull young man. After being together for so long, how could she not understand everything that Kino had done for her? It was just that she was neither willing to face nor willing to accept it. She, who was already twenty-four years old, actually yearned for someone to take care of her and love her. But she didn't know why, but after being together with Kino for so long, she was a little used to being cared for by him. She didn't know why, but after spending so much time with Keanu, she was a little used to being taken care of by him. It was a feeling that she couldn't describe. Yue Ji used to secretly ask herself in her heart if she had already fallen in love with Kino. But there was never a positive or negative answer.
Valuo City was already in sight. Kino's face became more and more ugly. He really didn't know what would happen to him after being separated from Yue Ji. Would he have to return to the orderly but boring life in the Empire?
Yue Ji looked at Valuo City in the distance and sighed. "I didn't expect to be back so soon. I haven't even played outside yet. It's really boring. Hey, hey, why do you keep your head down? "
Kino looked up blankly at Yue Ji and murmured, "Miss Yue Ji, I won't see you off. Valuo City is the base of your Moon Scar Mercenary Group. There shouldn't be any problems in the vicinity. I'm going to the North. Goodbye. Pay attention to your safety in the future. "With that said, he resisted the impulse in his heart and walked step by step towards the Northern Empire.
Yue Ji didn't move. She watched Kino gradually walk away from her. A strong sense of loss rose in her heart. At this moment, she suddenly had a thought that she didn't want to be separated from Kino. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Kino, stop right there. Did I agree to let you go like this?"
Kino had only walked twenty meters when he heard Yue Ji's call. He looked back blankly and said, "Miss Yue Ji, is there anything else?"
Yue Ji's face turned red. "Come with me to the Moon Scar Mercenary Group. Then we can return to the Tenjin Empire. "
Kino smiled bitterly. "No, I'll leave now. Yue Ji, do you know? It was so hard for me to make up my mind to leave you. If I go with you to the Moon Scar Mercenary Group, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear to leave. But I still have to return to the Tenjin Empire to report to my teacher about Dumb. What's more, I know you won't like me at all. I'm so ordinary. How can I be worthy of you? I don't want to sink deeper and deeper. It's better to get the pain over with. Goodbye. Take care. "With that, he turned around again and staggered forward.
Seeing Kino's lonely and tired expression, Yue Ji's heart ached. She floated forward and stopped in front of Kino. She said angrily, "I told you to come with me to the Moon Scar Mercenary Group. Don't you understand? You're not allowed to refute my words. Not now, not in the future. You said you would protect me. Did you forget? Come with me back to the group. Wait until I tell big brother about Dumb. "
Kino looked at Yue Ji's angry face. He couldn't bear to refuse her, so he said helplessly, "Okay. But I'll leave immediately after I send you to the Moon Scar Mercenary Group."
Yue Ji pouted and snorted. "What? You're not willing to take me to the Tenjin Empire? Once I return to the group, I have to take a look before I leave. "
Kino looked at Yue Ji in a daze. His tired and dispirited expression gradually changed. A hint of joy that came from the bottom of his heart flowed out of his eyes. In his excitement, his body was already trembling slightly. He suddenly took a step forward and tightly grabbed Yue Ji's red shoulder armor. He said excitedly, "Really? Are you really willing to go with me to the Sky Gold Magicians Union? That's great. This is simply too great. " Kino suddenly lifted Yue Ji up and spun her around in the air. The sudden joy made him feel somewhat at a loss.
Feeling the warmth of Kino's hands and the joy in his heart, Yue Ji couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. She blushed and glared at Kino. "Let go of me. Who allowed you to touch me?"
Kino finally reacted. He hurriedly let go of Yue Ji's shoulder. He smiled apologetically. "Sorry, sorry. I was too excited. Yue Ji, I'm really too happy. "
Yue Ji snorted. "I'm going to play. I'm not interested in you. Don't think too much about it. Let's go. We'll talk about it after we return to Waruo City."
Kino listened to Yue Ji's words. There was a trace of disappointment in his eyes. He nodded blankly and followed Yue Ji's pace. "Miss Yue Ji, if you go with me to the Tenjin Empire, what about Boss Dumb?" Yue Ji glared at him. "Why are you even more stupid than Dumb in the past? Don't the Moon Scar Mercenary Group still have my big brother? It's enough to have him. Oh right, didn't you just call me by my name? Then don't call me miss anymore. It sounds weird. No matter what, we are friends. There's no need to be so formal. "After saying this, Yue Ji suddenly sped up and ran towards Waruo City. Looking at Yue Ji's back, Kino kept thinking about what she had just said. The excitement in his heart rose again. No matter how stupid he was, he could hear a trace of affection in her words. It seemed that he still had a chance! He shouted, "Yue Ji, Yue Ji, wait for me." He quickly ran forward.
The two quickly arrived at Waruo City. Who here didn't know the vice-captain of the Moon Scar Mercenary Group — Chili Yue Ji! Yue Hen, who was in the headquarters, immediately received the news from the sentries outside the city. He personally came out to greet them.
From afar, Yue Ji could already see the mercenary group's headquarters. The person in white in front of the door looked so familiar. Wasn't that her big brother? Yue Ji floated up and rushed in front of Yue Hen. "Big brother, why are you standing at the door! Is there nothing going on in the group? "
Yue Hen looked at his only sister and said in a bad mood, "Don't play dumb with me. This time you secretly ran away from the group. Tell me, how should I punish you?"
At this time, Kino ran over panting. Yue Ji's eyes revealed a trace of a smile. Pointing at Kino, she said, "It's him. He insisted on taking me away. That's why I left with them."
Keanu was stunned, "What is' me '?"
Yue Hen smiled. "It's Brother Kino! Yue Ji, Brother Kino is an honest person. Don't bully him. Where's Dumb and the others? Why didn't they come back with you? "
Hearing Yue Hen mention Dumb, Kino and Yue Hen were silent. Yue Ji said, "Big brother, only the two of us came back. Let's go in and talk."
Yue Hen nodded in doubt. He brought Yue Ji and Kino back to the mercenary group's headquarters. The three of them went directly to the meeting hall. Yue Ji told them everything that happened when they went to the elven territory. After listening to Yue Ji's narration, Yue Hen couldn't help but frown. After a while, he helplessly shook his head and sighed. "I didn't expect Xuanri to really be Yue in disguise. In fact, this matter can't be blamed on Dumb. Dumb's heart is so pure. It's natural for him to be deceived by evil people. Since this happened, we naturally have to get to the bottom of it. How about this, I'll send an order tomorrow to have my brothers search the entire Suo Region Federation for traces of Dumb. I hope we can find him as soon as possible and let him and Yue bury the hatchet. The appearance of this dark force on the continent will probably affect the entire continent in the future. It seems that I'll have to send out a mercenary notice and contact all the major mercenary groups. I'll see if I can unite everyone in the name of the Mercenary Guild. Once something happens, we can take care of each other.
Yue Ji giggled and said, "Big brother, I'll leave this matter to you. We'll rest in the group for a day. Tomorrow morning, we'll head to the Tenjin Empire and send a letter to the Sorcerers Guild. "
Yue Hen frowned. "You're a girl. How can you run around? I'll send people to escort Brother Kino. You stay in the group. You're not allowed to go anywhere."
Before Yue Ji could reply, Kino became anxious. It wasn't easy for him to get the news that Yue Ji was willing to go to the Tenjin Empire. How could it be destroyed by others? He hurriedly said, "Big brother Yue Hen, just let Yue Ji go with me. Don't worry, I'll definitely protect her on the way. I won't let her suffer any harm. "
Yue Hen hadn't seen Kino's magic level. With his Seven Senses Exquisite Heart, he could naturally see that Kino was interested in his sister. But Yue Ji was his only sister. He naturally had to be cautious about the choice of his brother-in-law. Hearing Kino's straightforward confession, he couldn't help but look at his sister. He saw Yue Ji looking at Kino with a smile, without a trace of anger. Yue Hen was shocked. Could it be that his sister had fallen in love with this ordinary low-level magician? Although his relationship with Dumb isn't shallow, I'm afraid he's not worthy of his sister. "He politely said," Brother Kino, I don't think it's necessary. Our Moon Scar Mercenary Group has just gotten on the right track. I still have a lot of things to do. I'm afraid I can't go. "
Yue Ji looked at her big brother. She suddenly understood that Yue Hen felt that Kino wasn't worthy of her. She coldly snorted and walked to Kino's side. "Big brother, just let me go. Kino can protect me. Don't worry."
Yue Hen frowned. "Little sister, you can't be too playful. Do you understand? You're the vice-leader of the group. How can you throw aside what you should do and leave without a care? "
Kino lowered his head and murmured, "Yue Ji, it's better if you don't go. I don't want you two to argue because of this. I'll go back myself."
Yue Ji was stunned. "What? You don't want me to go with you?"
Kino looked at her and sighed. He shook his head but didn't say anything.
Seeing that Kino was so tactful, Yue Hen smiled. "How about this. I'll send twenty people to escort you to the Tenjin Empire. It's more dangerous for a magician to travel alone. "
Kino shook his head. "No need. Big brother Yue Hen, I have the ability to protect myself. I won't stay any longer. Goodbye." With that, he turned and strode out.
Seeing Kino walk out of the meeting hall, Yue Ji anxiously said, "Big brother, what are you doing? Why don't you let me go with Kino? He's a good person. "
Yue Hen said, "What's wrong with you? I've never seen you like that because of a man! Don't tell me you really like him? "
Yue Ji snorted. "So what if I like him? This is my own business. Although you're my brother, you can't control who I like. "
Yue Hen said angrily, "Little sister, how can you talk to big brother like that? Big brother is doing it for your own good. You're my only sister. No matter what, I have to find a suitable husband for you. How can Kino's looks match up to you? Actually, Overlord is a good person. Don't you like men with ability? Even if you don't like Overlord, Wanli and Miao Fei have chased after you for so many years. No matter what, they're better than Kino. "
"Don't say anymore." Yue Ji said angrily, "Big brother, I didn't expect you to be such a petty person. What's wrong with Kino? He's the same as Dumb. Although his looks aren't outstanding, they're both kind-hearted people. Moreover, do you really think he doesn't have the ability? Let me tell you, he's not an ordinary low-level mage. He's the president of the Tenjin Empire's Sorcerers Guild. He's the direct disciple of the continent's number one attack mage, Lardas. He's also the only disciple. At the age of 25, he's already reached the realm of Magic Shooter. Why isn't he worthy of me? In terms of strength and status, I should be the one who isn't worthy of him. "For some reason, when she heard her brother belittling Kino, Yue Ji suddenly became impulsive.
Hearing Yue Hen's words, Yue Hen couldn't help but be stunned. He frowned and said, "Little sister, I'm thinking for your happiness. I'm not a petty person. If you really like him, I won't object. It's just that the time you've known each other is too short and you don't know each other well. I don't want you to make a rash decision. Moreover, you don't have to lie to me. Although I don't know much about mages, I can see that Kino is clearly dressed in an ordinary high-level mage's attire. How could he be a Magic Shooter? Do you know what it means to be a Magic Shooter? That's the strength that only the elders of the Sorcerers Guild can have. How old is Kino? It's impossible. " Just as he said this, there was a sudden noise coming from outside. Yue Hen was startled and said, "Something seems to have happened outside. Let's go out and take a look."
Yue Hen and his sister walked out of the meeting hall and carefully tried to identify the source of the noise. It seemed to be coming from the martial arts field. Yue Ji was in a hurry to chase after Kino. She said to Yue Hen, "Big brother, you go and take a look yourself. I'm leaving. I'll come back after I've had enough fun." Saying this, she turned around and ran out of the mercenary group.
Yue Hen grabbed Yue Ji and said, "Little sister, what are you in a hurry for? Didn't I say that I won't stop you from being together with him? Don't you think that this noise might be related to Kino? As soon as he went out, it became chaotic outside. This is too much of a coincidence. Since Kino is a Magician, he can't walk fast. Let's go to the martial arts field first. If it's really caused by Kino, it will save you the trouble of getting lost with him. If it's unrelated, it's not too late for you to chase after him. "
Yue Ji nodded and said, "Alright then." The two siblings quickly walked towards the martial arts practice field with familiarity.
The Moon Scar Mercenary Group's martial arts field was thousands of square meters wide. Usually, the mercenary group would be divided into several groups to train here. At this time, the martial arts field was surrounded by the Moon Scar Mercenary Group's mercenaries. They were all looking inside. When the mercenaries saw Yue Hen and his sister, they quickly opened a path for them. Yue Ji quickly walked inside. Just as Yue Hen said, the source of the chaos was Kino. In the middle of the martial arts field stood three people. They were Kino, Miao Fei, and Wan Li.
It turned out that when Kino and Yue Ji came to the Moon Scar Mercenary Group, Miao Fei and Wan Li also received the news. They were originally excited to see Yue Ji. In the end, they overheard the conversation between Yue Hen and Kino at the entrance of the meeting hall. They were instantly furious. The two of them had always been secretly in love with Yue Ji, but Yue Ji had never expressed her feelings for either of them. So they had been waiting, waiting for Yue Ji to make a choice. Kino, this love rival who suddenly appeared, immediately made the two of them feel a common enemy. They decided to teach Kino a lesson and make him cut off his feelings for Yue Ji. So when Kino came out, he was stopped by the two of them and directly pulled to the martial arts field.
Kino naturally recognized Miao Fei and Wan Li. Seeing the two of them pull him to this spacious field, he didn't know what they wanted to do. He couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Brothers, why did you bring me here?"
The gazes of thousands of mercenaries around him made him a little uncomfortable.
Miao Fei sneered, "We don't want to do anything. Let me ask you, do you like Yue Ji? "His voice was very low, so only Kino and Wan Li could hear him.
Kinu nodded and said, "That's right! I have always liked Yue Ji. But Brother Yue Hen doesn't seem to want me to be with her. I, I was just about to leave. What do you want? "
Miao Fei coldly snorted and said, "We called you here to tell you that Yue Ji can't be with you. You don't deserve her at all. If you want to leave, you can, but swear in front of everyone that you won't bother Yue Ji anymore. Then we will let you go. "
Originally, Kino was already depressed because of Yue Hen's rejection. Now that he heard Miao Fei's words, he immediately became angry. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he coldly said, "What if I don't agree?"
Miao Fei coldly said, "Fine! We brothers will have a taste of your magic. Let's see what kind of ability you have to chase after Yue Ji. " He was narrow-minded to begin with, so he secretly made up his mind to make Kino suffer a great loss. He turned to the surrounding mercenaries and shouted, "Brothers, be witnesses here. Watch how we teach this delusional brat a lesson." Under his instigation, the surrounding mercenaries immediately became noisy. That was where the noise that the Yue Hen brothers had heard came from.
Kino didn't think that Miao Fei would be so ruthless. A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes as he indifferently said, "Very well, then all of you can come at me together."
A trace of hesitation appeared in Wan Li's eyes. He looked at Miao Fei and said, "Ah Fei, let's forget about it. Kino is Brother Dumb's friend. This isn't too good. Besides, he's already going to leave. Let's not make things difficult for him. "
Miao Fei resolutely said, "No. If he doesn't swear today, then he can forget about leaving. Wan Li, do you want another strong rival in love?"
At this moment, a faint red light floated out from Kino's body and instantly formed a red defensive barrier in front of him. The scorching energy immediately caused the surrounding temperature to rise. This sudden change gave Miao Fei and Wan Li a fright.
Miao Fei drew his narrow sword and said, "Since he wants us to come at him together, then let's do it together. Don't give him the chance to chant the incantation. "
The Yue Hen brothers arrived just as Miao Fei was about to make his move. Seeing that both sides were about to fight, Yue Hen wanted to stop them but was stopped by Yue Ji. Yue Ji said in a low voice, "Big Brother, didn't you not believe in Kino's strength? Now is the perfect time to test it out. In a moment, you'll know if he has the strength of a Magic Shooter. Moreover, we have to first figure out what's going on! Let's see who's in the right and who's in the wrong. "
Yue Ji nodded and said, "Alright then." He looked at a mercenary beside him and said, "What's going on? Why are they in conflict? "
That mercenary didn't dare to not answer his captain's question. He recounted everything that had just happened. After listening to his narration, Yue Hen couldn't help but frown. Wan Li and Miao Fei were both people who had founded the Moon Scar Mercenary Band with him, so his heart was naturally on their side. However, this time, Miao Fei had really gone too far. There was no reason at all.
Yue Ji also heard the mercenary's words and immediately flew into a rage. She said, "How can big brother Miao Fei do this? I'm not his personal property. How can he do this? I'm really disappointed in him."
At this moment, the situation had already changed. From Miao Fei and Wan Li's words, Kino could tell that they were interested in Yue Ji. The anger in his chest burned even more. Fire elements frantically gathered around him, and the red protective energy around his body grew stronger.
Miao Fei was afraid that the incantation Kino was chanting would be difficult to deal with, so he waved his narrow sword and quickly slashed at Kino's face. Under the control of his mind, a dark red fire shield appeared in front of Kino to meet the narrow sword. Miao Fei's narrow sword did not hit the fire shield. He had always been known for his craftiness. Over the past few years, his skills had improved quite a bit. He slid to the side of Kino like lightning, and his narrow sword stabbed at Kino's ribs like a poisonous snake's tongue. Kino was shocked. The fire elements around his body were constantly surging under Miao Fei's sharp combat energy. Speed was never his forte. With no other choice, he could only tilt his body slightly to avoid his vitals, and focus his mind on where Miao Fei was attacking.
There was a soft puff. Under the effect of the fire elements protecting Kino, Miao Fei's sword was not solid. It only left a cut on Kino's body. The pain kept attacking Kino's brain. With his waist injured, Kino's anger reached its limit. He shouted, and without chanting any incantations, one fireball after another flew out, covering the space around him in an instant. It blocked Miao Fei outside. Taking this opportunity, Kino chanted loudly, "O great God of Fire! As your servant, I am willing to offer my everything. I beseech you, bestow upon me your indestructible Fire God's Armor, so that I can defend against the enemy's attack. "As a mage, before attacking the enemy, one must first ensure their own safety. As he chanted, the red energy around Kino's body began to change. Circles of scorching energy spread out with Kino as the center. The red energy gradually turned purple, and a foot-thick purple flame completely enveloped Kino's body. Kino drew a line in the air and summoned his spatial boundary. He reached out and took out his short-handled magic staff. Ever since he had achieved success in magic, other than losing to Xuan Yue once, Keanu had never met a worthy opponent. The magic he practiced in the volcano fully demonstrated his powerful strength at this time.
Miao Fei circulated his fighting energy and tried to break through Kino's defense a few times, but he couldn't get close to the scorching purple energy. The temperature of the purple flames greatly affected his performance. He shouted at Wan Li, who was standing to the side in a daze, "What are you waiting for? Do you want him to use fire magic?" Miao Fei was a little regretful at this moment. He had already realized that Kino's magic level was not as simple as that of an adept magician. But how could he back down in front of so many of his subordinates? Hearing Miao Fei's call, Wan Li also realized that Kino was about to show his power. He hurriedly pulled out his broadsword and pounced. Wan Li's fighting energy was much stronger than Miao Fei's. With the help of Miao Fei's narrow sword, he slashed at Kino's God of Fire Armor with all his might. But how could they break through Kino's level-six defensive fire magic with their strength? With a poof, the purple energy only fluctuated slightly, but Wan Li and Lan Ping's swords had already been melted by the powerful heat. Under the invasion of the scorching energy, the two hurriedly let go of their weapons, but their palms were still unavoidably burned. They took a few steps back and barely managed to use their fighting energy to protect their bodies. Kino looked at the two in front of him disdainfully and said coldly, "You dare to challenge me with just this little bit of skill? I'll let you see my true strength. Only I can protect Yue Ji. " Scorching purple flames! I summon you in the name of the God of Fire. Condense into the most powerful soaring dragon. Use your invincible flames of fury to destroy the enemy before you. " As he chanted the incantation, the purple flames around Kino's body suddenly flourished. The reason why he had used the God of Fire Armor earlier was so that he could more smoothly use his strongest magic, the Soaring Dragon of Purple Flames. From the looks of it, Kino was slightly weaker than Corizon, so the Soaring Dragon of Purple Flames he used was not as purple as Corizon's. It was much lighter. As the purple flames continued to rise, Kino raised the magic staff in his hand high up. The fire elements in the air quickly condensed, and a huge, amethyst-like purple dragon floated above his head.
All the members of the Moon Scar Mercenary Band were stunned. Although they did not understand magic, they could imagine the energy contained in this huge purple dragon. Such a beautiful scene reminded them of the time when Dumb and Xuanyue fought against the Overlord Mercenary Band. The temperature in the air suddenly rose by a lot, and the mercenaries couldn't help but retreat. Yue Ji also did not expect Kino to be this strong. Seeing the purple dragon form, a strange change occurred in her heart. The current Kino, in her eyes, was so tall and mighty.
