Xuan Ye looked at the young man in front of him who did not have an outstanding appearance, and complicated feelings welled up in his heart. If one did not consider his background and appearance, Dumby would naturally be the best choice for his daughter. However, he still could not get used to Dumby's silly appearance. But his daughter was already dead set on him. Even if he tried to stop her, it would be of no use. Moreover, he had already promised his daughter that he would not stop them. Thinking of how Dumb had forcefully stopped the Nine Heaven Thunder in the competition to save his face and life, Xuan Ye sighed and secretly said, "Forget it." Pope said respectfully, "Everything is up to Lord Pope."
Pope nodded to his son with satisfaction. His gaze turned back to Dumb and said seriously, "Dumb, logically speaking, it is impossible for you and Xuanyue to get together."
Hearing Pope's words, Dumb suddenly became anxious and hurriedly said, "Lord Pope, Yue and I are truly in love. Please grant us our wish."
Pope smiled and said, "Silly boy, why are you so anxious? I haven't finished speaking yet. The reason why I said you can't get together is because you are not a member of the clergy. The clergy of the Holy Hall, especially a respected red-robed priest like Yue, can only get together with the most loyal followers of God. However, your Tiangang School does not seem to be followers of God. Don't be anxious, listen to me. Although you are not a follower of God, you are the savior sent by God to save the world. It can be said that you are someone close to God. Therefore, I reluctantly agree to your request. However, if Yue does not agree, I cannot help you. Yue, are you willing to be engaged to Dumb and become his fiancee? "
Xuanyue's delicate body trembled slightly. She turned her head to look at Dumb and was greeted by his passionate gaze. That scorching light made Xuanyue's heart warm up. She said in a low voice, "I-I'm willing."
Pope smiled and said, "Aiya, I'm old and my ears aren't good. I didn't hear what you said just now. Seeing how reluctant you are, it seems like you are unwilling. Don't worry, Grandpa will not force you. Dumb, I think …"
"No, no, I'm willing. I just said I'm willing." Hearing that her grandfather was going to refuse Dumb, Xuanyue hurriedly explained loudly.
Pope said, "So you are willing! You little girl, you've finally gotten what you wanted. "Other than Dumb and Xuanyue, the rest of the people burst into laughter. Dumby looked at Xuan Yue innocently. In his eyes, there was only happiness. Xuanyue was so embarrassed that she buried her face in her bosom. She wished that there was a hole in the ground for her to hide in.
Xi Wen poked Dumb and transmitted his voice, "Hurry up and greet your father-in-law and grandfather."
Dumb finally reacted and knelt in front of Pope and Xuan Ye. He said respectfully, "Dumb greets Grandpa and Father-in-law."
Pope smiled and said, "Alright, get up. Dumb, as long as you treat Yue well in the future, we will be satisfied."
Dumb quickly said, "Grandpa, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of her. I will use my whole life to protect her and not let any harm come to her."
Xuan Ye said lightly, "Dumb, you and Yue are engaged in front of Lord Pope today. You should at least take out an engagement gift." He still didn't like Dumb. Although he had no choice but to agree with him, he couldn't help but make things difficult for him.
Dumb was stunned when he heard Xuan Ye's words. He turned to look at his Martial Uncle. Xi Wen helplessly spread out his hands and said, "Who knew that you would be so anxious to get married. I didn't prepare anything."
Xuan Yue's shyness had lessened a little. How could she bear to see her beloved put in a difficult situation? She rushed to Xuan Ye and said, "Father, he, he has already given me the engagement gift. Look." Saying that, she raised her right hand, revealing the Ring of Protection.
Pope hadn't paid attention to the ring on Xuanyue's hand. He was shocked when he looked at it carefully, "This ring seems to be an artifact!"
Xuanyue nodded and said, "Yes! This is the low-level artifact recorded in the ancient books of our Holy Hall, the Ring of Protection. Dad, Dumb can use an artifact as an engagement gift. It should be okay, right? "
Xuan Ye said impatiently, "Girls are really attracted to their husbands! You haven't married him yet, and you're already speaking up for him. "
Xuanyue argued, "I'm telling the truth."
Dumb suddenly thought of something. He chanted the incantation of the Dragon God's Blood. Under the shining blue light, a green crystal flew into his hand. Dumb held the crystal in front of Pope and Xuan Ye and said, "When I was learning from grandmaster in Tiangang Mountain, I once killed a 10,000-year-old Giant Serpent. Grandmaster took out two Giant Serpent's Eyes from it. I ate one, and I've been planning to give it to Yue, but I didn't have the chance. I'll use it and the Ring of Protection as an engagement gift for Yue. "
How could Xuan Ye not understand the value of the 10,000-year-old Giant Serpent's Eyes? At this time, he had nothing more to say. He looked at Pope helplessly and retreated to the side.
Xuanyue curiously took the Giant Serpent's Eyes from Dumb's hand and frowned, "I don't want to eat a snake's eye. It's disgusting."
Dumb smiled and said, "It's a good thing. It doesn't taste strange. Try it."
Xuanyue looked at Dumb doubtfully. She didn't have the heart to refuse his kindness, so she frowned and put the Giant Serpent's Eyes into her mouth. The green crystal turned into a fragrant stream of air and slid into her body. A stream of heat rose, and Xuanyue suddenly felt very comfortable. She said in surprise, "It really doesn't taste bad!"
Dumby said, "Meditate well tonight and completely absorb its medicinal power. You'll be able to feel the effects tomorrow."
Pope said with a bitter face, "Dumb, you gave Yue such a precious engagement gift. I don't know what to give you. There are only a few artifacts in the Holy Hall, and it seems that none of them are suitable for you."
Dumby hurriedly said, "No need, no need. To me, Yue Yue is the best gift. It's better than anything that you're willing to let her marry me. Even the most precious artifact can't compare to Yue. "
Tears welled up in Xuanyue's eyes. She called softly, "Dumb." When her heart was full of love, she didn't care about shyness anymore. She took the initiative to stick to Dumb and held his big hand.
Pope said with satisfaction, "Good. You didn't want it. I'm not stingy." His expression suddenly became serious. He said to Dumb, "Although I didn't hold a grand engagement ceremony for you today, I've already betrothed my only granddaughter to you. If you betray her in the future, I'll never forgive you."
Dumb held Xuanyue's little hand and said solemnly, "After the dark forces are eliminated, I'll definitely make Yue the happiest bride."
Pope said, "Well, there's nothing else. You'll leave tomorrow. Go back and have a good rest. Be extra careful in the Death Mountain Range. "
Everyone bowed to Pope and took their leave. Since Dumb had finally married Xuanyue, they left the Brilliance Shrine with much more ease. Seeing them leave, Xuan Ye and Pope said, "Father, isn't it too stressful to give such an important task to these children? If they get hurt, it'll be hard for us to explain to their elders! "
Pope sighed and said, "How could I not know that this is a very dangerous thing? But there's no other way now. Dumb is the savior of the continent. Now we can only hope that he can find the real lair of the dark forces under the guidance of God. During the time when they're searching for the dark forces, you must hurry up and lead the priests to train. Strive to improve their strength in a short time. If the entrance to the Demon Realm in the Death Mountain Range is really the target of the dark forces, then the Light Magic will play a very important role. "
Xuan Ye, Mang Xiu and Yu Jian said respectfully at the same time, "Yes, Lord Pope."
After leaving the Brilliance Shrine, Xuanyue took the initiative to hold Dumb's big hand. Amidst the blessings of everyone, the two were filled with sweetness and happiness. After everyone's excitement, Yanshi said, "We must succeed in this operation. We can't let the dark forces run rampant anymore."
Xuanyue nodded and said, "I also know today that the Death Mountain Range is so scary. We really overestimated ourselves! If we really went to the Death Mountain Range when we first came to the Elven Forest, I'm afraid we would have already … "
Yanshi said, "Yue, don't be discouraged. We must have confidence. With the help of confidence, we may be able to obtain the final victory."
Kino said with a bitter face, "Brothers and sisters, you must help this little brother! Yesterday, Yue Ji was still crying and begging to go to the Death Mountain Range with me. After listening to Lord Pope's explanation today, how can I dare to bring her along! If anything happens to her, how can I explain it to her brother? You must help me stop her. "
Dumb smiled bitterly and said, "With Big Sister Yue Ji's temper, I'm afraid it's not that easy to stop her. Kino, I'm afraid you have to pray for your own good. "
Xuanyue smiled and said, "Brother Kino, just bring Big Sister Yue Ji along. I'll help you protect her."
Dumb frowned and said, "Yue, don't talk nonsense. You've heard about the danger of the Death Mountain Range. We already have a lot of people on this trip. If we're careless or the enemy is too strong, I'm afraid it'll be hard to take care of everyone. It's better to have fewer people."
Xuanyue tightened her grip on Dumb's hand and said, "Don't worry, I have a foolproof plan. Even if we can't find out the whereabouts of the dark forces' headquarters, we can still protect ourselves. As for how to protect ourselves, you'll know when the time comes. Now, I have to keep it a secret. Brother Kino, just bring Big Sister Yue Ji along. I'll ask grandpa for another amulet. "
Kino said with a bitter face, "It's like this now. I'll thank you first. Yue Ji's cultivation is still low. If there's any danger, everyone must help her."
Dumb looked at Xuanyue with blame. To everyone, Yue Ji's cultivation was too low. Moreover, the Death Mountain Range was so dangerous. He didn't want Yue Ji to participate in this operation. But since Xuanyue had said it, he couldn't refuse anymore. He could only say to Kino, "You don't have to say it. We'll protect Yue Ji. Go back and have a good rest. We'll set off tomorrow morning. "
The next morning, Dumb and the elves set off on the road to the Death Mountain Range. Pope and several red-robed priests personally sent them to the periphery of the sacred mountain of the Holy Hall. After repeatedly reminding them to be careful, they parted ways with the rest. Although the Death Mountain Range was dangerous, Dumb was full of confidence after he reconciled with Xuanyue. Especially after he got engaged, he was very satisfied. Now, he just wanted to help the Holy Hall eliminate the Dark Saint Religion as soon as possible so that he could marry his beloved Yue.
From the Holy Holy Hall to the Death Mountain Range, they had to pass through the entire territory of the Yalian people. In order to gain more time, they traveled almost 500 kilometers in one day. When the sky gradually fell on the prairie of the Yalian people, they decided to stop and rest for the night before continuing their journey. The prairie was spacious, and the temperature difference between day and night was very big. Especially now that it was November, the cold wind blew, bringing a chill to everyone.
Dumb scratched his head and looked around, "I'm sorry, I forgot something. How can we travel on the prairie without a tent! I'm afraid it'll be even colder at night. "
Oliveira nodded, "Yes! The prairie of the Yalian people is so big. Without any shelter, I'm afraid it'll be a tough night. If we knew this would happen, we wouldn't have been in such a hurry. We should have just rested in the tribe we met earlier. " Kino curled his lips, "What's the point of saying this now? We've already traveled a few hundred kilometers, we can't just go back, right?"
Yanshi thought for a moment, "How about this, we dig a big hole in the ground and rest in it. At least we can avoid the cold wind."
Xuanyue shook her head, "That's not good. Even if we can avoid the wind, we can't change the temperature. Forget it, let's form a circle and approach. After all, it's only a night's work. With our cultivation, it shouldn't be a problem. At most, we can take turns to keep watch and use combat aura or magic to resist the cold. "
Dumb said, "Then let me do it. Everyone is tired after a day of traveling. I'll use my vital energy to set up a barrier, you guys rest well. Vital energy has the characteristic of being endless, it shouldn't consume too much of it. " As he spoke, he suddenly realized that there were some people in the crowd who weren't worried at all. They were the elves led by the elven nobles. They all had smiles on their faces and stood there silently.
Zhuo Yun walked to Dumb's side and smiled, "Everyone, don't worry. Dumb, you don't have to set up a barrier either. Have you forgotten the characteristics of the elven magic? We are the people closest to nature. "Yanshi came to a realization," That's right! Why didn't I think of that? But, can you guys use magic to create a treehouse like the one in the City of Elves? "
Hearing Yanshi's words, everyone immediately understood and focused their attention on the elves. Great elf envoy Audi flew forward and said, "The prairie is one of the places with the most vitality on the continent. Here, our nature magic can play a big role. Just wait and see." Under his lead, the elven envoys who were good at magic flew up and chanted an elven incantation that no one could understand. Green light gradually rose from the elven envoys and they formed a circle. After a while, a deformed green halo with a diameter of ten meters appeared. Under Audi's command, the green halo landed on the prairie. Within the area covered by the halo, the green grass grew crazily under the effect of the elven magic. The countless green grass intertwined with each other and in a short while, they actually became solid vines. Under Audi's command, a tens of square meters house made of intertwined green grass appeared.
Xuanyue exclaimed, "Elven magic is really amazing! This is incomparable to other magic. Tonight, we finally have a place to stay. "
Since there were more than twenty people in Dumb's group and the elves, the elven envoys stopped after going through five similar houses. The five houses were next to each other. Because the grass and leaves were intertwined together, they looked very solid. They did not move at all under the cold wind.
Audi said, "Alright, now that we have a place to stay, everyone can rest in peace. The houses made of green grass are quite sturdy, and I've also set up a barrier to stabilize the outside. Even if the night wind is strong, it won't move. Everyone should eat some food and rest, so that we can continue our journey tomorrow." After that, he led the elves into two of the straw houses, leaving the other three to Dumb and the others.
The eight of them decided that Dumb, Xuanyue, and Oliveira would stay in one house, the Yanshi Brothers and Zhuo Yun would stay in one, and Kino and Yue Ji would stay in one.
"No, I'm not going to stay with that dumb goose." Yue Ji said with dissatisfaction.
Xuan Yue couldn't help but laugh, "Dumb goose? This title is very suitable for Dumb! Sister Yue Ji, don't you want to stay with Kino? Could it be that you're shy? "
Yue Ji blushed and mumbled, "I'm not married to him, how can I stay with him alone? Yue, Yue, let's stay together. Let the three men stay together. "
Xuanyue turned to look at Dumb and gave him a questioning look. Dumb naturally did not want to be separated from her, but he was the leader of this trip, so he could only nod helplessly and said, "Alright, let Brother Kino and Yue switch. Everyone should rest early. There may be some wild beasts on the grassland, so everyone should wake up when they rest at night to prevent any accidents. "
It was late at night, and everyone went to bed after eating their rations. Dumb sat cross-legged in his treehouse. In order to protect everyone's safety, he did not enter a state of meditation. He just sat there and adjusted the abundant vital energy in his body with his mind, spreading the mourning hall to the greatest extent possible, and probing the situation around the straw hut. He could clearly hear the sound of the elves sleeping, as well as the sound of the wind blowing the grass. His heart suddenly fell into a state of silence. After a day's journey, his spirit was also a little tired, and his consciousness gradually became hazy. Just as he was about to fall asleep, suddenly, an extremely powerful aura broke into the range of his spiritual perception. Dumb was startled, and he suddenly opened his eyes, focusing his mind in the direction of the powerful aura. The powerful aura was approaching at an unparalleled speed. As he did not know whether it was an enemy or a worry, Dumb cautiously floated out of the treehouse, and under the effect of the vital energy, floated to the roof, and stared in the direction of the powerful aura.
A ball of fiery red light appeared in Dumby's field of vision. Dumby was startled. He focused his gaze and saw that in that ball of fiery red light, there seemed to be a figure wrapped around it. It was not magic, but combat energy, an abnormally strong combat energy. Although it was still hundreds of meters away, Dumby could already feel the heat of that red ball of combat energy. He thought to himself, So strong.
The red light suddenly disappeared, and a black shadow cut through the night sky and floated over like lightning. He had obviously also discovered Dumb, and he rushed forward, flying straight to the treehouse. Dumb was afraid that he would affect everyone who was resting, so he urged the vital energy in his body to meet him. When he was about 50 meters away from the black shadow, the red light on the black shadow flashed again, and a fireball-like fighting energy brought with it a stream of light, heading straight for Dumb's chest. A cold light flashed in Dumb's eyes, and his right hand slashed out like lightning. A silver light flashed, and the fireball was instantly split into two, dissolving into nothingness under the power of the fighting energy. After receiving an attack from the opponent, Dumb could not help but feel puzzled. The fighting energy that the opponent used just now was not strong, even the Yanshi Brothers could easily receive it. However, looking at the opponent's movement and the energy contained in his body, his skill should not be at this level! Just as he was feeling puzzled, the opponent had already rushed to ten meters in front of him, and the forward momentum suddenly stopped, as if it violated the law of inertia and stopped in the air. Dumb looked over, and saw that the opponent was an old man, an old man with nothing special about him. He was wearing a very ordinary cloth shirt, and his somewhat dirty eyes were staring at Dumb. The old man looked a little familiar, but Dumb could not remember where he had seen him before.
The old man did not speak, and as he looked at Dumb, he touched his waist, and a wine gourd appeared. He opened the gourd, and drank to his heart's content. Looking at the way he drank, it seemed like he wanted to drink the whole gourd in one go. After a few big gulps, the old man stopped, and said to Dumb, "Kid, you drink a little too." With that said, he shook his wrist, and the wine gourd turned into an arc, crashing towards Dumb. Dumb was shocked, because the energy contained in the wine gourd was who knew how many times stronger than the fireball from before. He raised his right hand, and a large amount of fighting energy floated out. These fighting energy threads did not directly entangle the Bitter Lord, but passed by the side of the gourd like lightning, making a fierce friction sound with the wine gourd. The wine gourd continued to fly forward, and because of the impact of the fighting energy threads, it quickly spun. When the wine gourd flew in front of Dumb, Dumb said indifferently, "Senior, I am not very interested in wine, you should enjoy it yourself." He did not touch the wine gourd, and as it spun rapidly, the wine gourd drew an arc in front of him, and flew back to the old man.
The old man's dirty eyes suddenly lit up, and with a flash of red light, he caught the wine gourd back. He nodded, and said, "Good kid, your martial arts are not bad! I want to ask you a question, and you must answer me honestly. In the Sunset Empire, there is a Grim Reaper who has killed countless people, do you know him? "
Dumb's heart jumped, and he thought to himself, why is he looking for me? Could it be that the Sunset Empire sent him to kill me? No, that's not right, even if you searched the entire Sunset Empire, you would not be able to find such an expert. Although they had not officially fought, Dumb could clearly feel that this old man was not easy to deal with. He calmly said, "Senior, why are you looking for the Grim Reaper?"
The old man drank another mouthful of wine, and chuckled, "Of course there is. I want to settle a score with him. I heard that this Grim Reaper is a third generation disciple of Tiangang School, and his martial arts are not weak. Moreover, his skills were not weak. He seemed to be called something like Dumby. Looking at the battle energy you used just now, although it was not the battle energy of Tiangang School, it was deepened from the battle energy of living beings. I think you must be that Dumb or something. "
Dumb's mind spun like lightning, and he thought, "This old man's eyes are very sharp! Just from the two quick moves I made, he was able to identify me as a student of Tiangang School. Who cares who he is, since he is looking for me, then I will take him on. Thinking of this, Dumb's chest was suddenly filled with heroic spirit, and he said, "That's right, I am the third generation disciple of Tiangang School, Dumb. May I ask what advice does Senior have? "
The old man played with the wine gourd in his hand, and ridiculed, "How could I dare to give advice? You are the Grim Reaper, the Grim Reaper who has killed countless people. Grim Reaper, what an impressive name. Hmph! " His last snort brought about a sound wave, and it shook Dumb's eardrums to the point of pain, and he hurriedly used his vital energy to resist it. Dumb bowed slightly, and said, "Senior, please state your purpose for coming here. I don't think I have offended you."
"That's right, you have not offended me, but your cruel methods make me gasp in admiration! I don't care if you kill people in Luori Empire, and I don't care. Those people deserve to die anyway. However, you shouldn't have bullied me, and killed my disciple. Let me ask you, did Tiro die in your hands? Moreover, he was tortured to death by you. "
Dumb was shocked, and he finally knew the identity of this old man. Tiro's master, wasn't that the Northern Sword Saint? His ranking among the Four Great Sword Saints was even higher. So he was looking for him to seek revenge. It seemed like there would not be a good ending today. Dumb's expression darkened, and he said coldly, "If you are seeking revenge for Tiro, then you have found the right person. That's right, I killed him, and it was a cruel death. However, he deserved to die. As his master, you did not do your duty to discipline him, and I also want to reason with you. "
Yutu laughed out loud, and said, "He deserved to die. Good, well said." Cold Light flashed in his eyes, and a scorching red fighting aura surrounded his body. "Even if my disciple was in the wrong, I don't need your Tiangang School to interfere. Even if he died, you should at least leave his corpse intact. Brat, you are really ruthless, and you dare to be so ruthless to me. For the sake of Moses, as long as you receive three of my moves today, I will let you off for now. I will directly go to Tiangang School to reason with him. If you can't receive it, don't blame me if you die. "At this point, he suddenly waved his right hand, and a surging fighting aura came straight at Xiao Chen.
Dumb was about to receive the attack, but he suddenly remembered the four skeletons. He frowned, and urged Goris's Wish to teleport to another direction. Yutu's punch immediately hit empty air. "Senior Northern Sword Saint, I am not afraid of you. I don't think I did anything wrong regarding the matter with Tiro. I have a good relationship with your other four disciples, and I don't want to be your enemy. Please reconsider. "
When Yutu saw that Dumb received his attack so easily, he couldn't help but be startled. He didn't continue his attack, and said coldly, "You killed my disciple, and you still say you don't want to be my enemy?"
Dumb said, "I already said that Tiro deserved to die. If I had to choose again, I would do the same thing. Senior, the continent has already sunk into a crisis because of the threat from the dark forces. Your cultivation is so profound, why are you so obsessed with hatred? You should do something for the common people. "
Yutu said irritably, "I don't care about the matters of the continent, and I also don't want to care. Originally, I was living a peaceful life, but you killed my disciple and broke this peace. Brat, don't try to get lucky, I won't let you off. This is the second time we met. The first time I saw you, I still had a good impression of you. However, I didn't expect you to actually become the person who killed my disciple. "
Dumb was startled, and said, "Have we really met before? No wonder you look so familiar. "
"Of course I've seen him," he said with a cold laugh. Otherwise, how could I recognize you at a glance. Have you forgotten what happened in the Light City Sorcerers Guild headquarters in the Light Province a few years ago? "
Dumb's heart stirred, suddenly speeding up the scene at that time. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Ah! Are you the old man who guarded the door? You, how could you... "
Yutu snorted, "I was willing. I lost the bet with your Master Ancestor, and promised him that I would guard the door of the Sorcerers Guild before the upcoming fourth Sword Saint competition. There, no one knows my identity. Although I was a little indignant at first, but later I lived a fresh and clean life. The wine in Light City is very good. However, my fresh and clean life was broken by you. Boy, don't think you can escape today. " It turned out that during the Four Great Sword Saints' sparring last time, Youtu felt that his cultivation had improved a lot, so he made a bet with the Celestial Dipper Sword Saint, betting that the Celestial Dipper Sword Saint wouldn't be able to defeat him within a hundred moves. Their bet was that the loser had to promise the other one thing. The result could be imagined. At the ninety-seventh move, Tiangang Kensei defeated Yutu. He did not want Yutu to do anything, and casually said that he wanted him to guard the door of the Sorcerers Guild. At that time it was just a joke, but Yutu took it seriously and really went to guard the door. He did not always stay there, whenever he was bored, he would wander around the continent. He accepted a few disciples one after another, and Tiro was the last one he accepted. Not long ago, he suddenly received the news that his disciple in name, Tiro, was actually tortured to death. Yutu had always been protective of his disciples, so he immediately left the Continental Union of Magicians, and found the dead subordinate of the Mica Province's governor in the Tenjin Empire. He asked him about Dumb's appearance and figure. However, he did not travel the continent often after all, so how could he find Dumb? Thereupon, he recalled the disciples of his mercenary group, and personally found the four skeletons, and told them about this matter. From Yutu's description, the four skeletons immediately recognized that the person who killed their junior was Dumb. Because the iron skeleton was jealous that the ice skeleton liked Dumb, he told Yutu about Dumb's matter. Under Yutu's command, they found out that Dumb had destroyed the priest's wedding and caused havoc in the Holy Hall. Yutu traveled day and night to rush to the Holy Hall, but Dumb and the others had just left. He got the news that Dumb and the others were heading to the Death Mountain Range from the mouth of a judge who hated Dumb, so he chased after them. He finally found his trail at night.
