Chapter 22: The Indolent High Priest Tichius Romanee Conti
The dragon chariot is speeding on the road again
There were not many changes from the previous reincarnation. Rem told the story, Crusch prepared the dragon chariot, and everything went on in the same orderly manner as before. It was just that there was a sharp sword where Subaru was sitting.
Yuexing specially made a sword for Subaru just for this time, so that Subaru would have some ability to protect himself.
Yuexing sat next to the driver's seat and looked at the scenery outside the car quietly. Rem in the driver's seat drove the dragon car very quietly.
"Rem..." Yuexing spoke out
"yes"
"When you arrive at the village ahead, take a rest before setting off."
"Rem understands"
Yuexing turned to look at Rem's profile, and then at Subaru who was resting in the carriage.
Five hours had passed since departure, and Subaru had fallen asleep with his eyes closed and a serious expression on his face.
Staring ahead, Yuexing thought, recalling what happened during this time
This feeling is very strange. The world is obviously moving forward, but time can go back.
"The result of going back in time... the thing is still the same, but the person is still the same person?" Yuexing sighed in his mind.
[If the user really wants to know, he will understand later] The voice of the system sounded in his head
"System, do you think I did the right thing along the way?"
[The system will not interfere with the user, but will only respect the user's choice. No matter how the situation develops, the system will always be the user's strongest backing]
The system's affirmative reply also made Yuexing feel a lot more relaxed.
Yuexing looked at Rem beside her
Blue hair swaying, pulling Yuexing's thoughts to the past
In the beginning, the relationship with Rem was that of a guest and a maid. Later, they traveled together during the Warcraft incident, and returned to the ghost clan to become friends with Remram. From master and servant to partner, to today's lover.
After experiencing so many reincarnations, she is still sitting next to her, as if it had never happened. The same is true for everyone else. Everyone is still here.
If there was no chance to start over with Subaru when he came to this world, does that mean that he was destined not to see Rem from the beginning, and the relationship like this wouldn't exist?
But everything is so magical. In this world, there is no regret medicine. There is a chance to start over. Moreover, this ability seems to have no limit.
"Maybe this is the charm of another world." Yuexing smiled and shook his head, throwing away the messy thoughts.
"Rem..." Yuexing called out
"Yes" Rem responded.
"Tired?"
"Not tired yet"
"How is the driving of this dragon chariot?"
"Well, this child is very obedient and was well educated by Carlsten's family."
Just chatting without any purpose
Yuexing looks at the road ahead
"Yue Xing seems to be troubled."
After a moment of silence, Rem suddenly spoke up
"I?"
"Well, not only Tsukisei, but also Subaru."
Yuexing silently looked at Rem's side
"Rem knows that although Yuexing is still the same as usual, there seems to be a slight change."
Although I have tried my best to follow the steps I have done before these days, there still seems to be something different that is so obvious that it is easy for people to notice.
"There is indeed something wrong, but it seems that there is no problem anymore."
Rem didn't respond
"They are still them, and it is always us who have changed."
Yuexing recalled the previous conversation with Subaru
"Now, the feeling I had is back again," Rem said.
Yuexing smiled and moved a little closer to Rem
After a while, Rem unknowingly moved to Yuexing and sat next to Yuexing.
"Are you really not tired?" Yuexing touched Rem's head and asked.
"Hey, you won't be tired if you do this," Rem said with a happy expression.
"I hope we can reverse the situation this time," Yuexing said secretly.
…
More than ten hours passed, Yuexing and Subaru stood in the town of Hammas
It was already very dark by now
"I came here with Otto and stopped by," Subaru said.
"Seize the time to rest and conserve your energy," Yuexing said
"I have an idea," Subaru said.
"What?"
"Try saying that on the road, maybe it will be useful."
"Are you sure? Once you say that, you will be acting as a MT."
"Well, I have to give it a try no matter what."
"Um"
After Rem parked the carriage, Yuexing followed the two people to a large canteen-like place to have something to eat.
"Rem, I'll give you a gift."
Arriving in front of the dragon carriage, Yuexing handed out a string of silver pendants from his hand.
Rem looked at the pendant, and it was not difficult to see that it was the same style as the bracelet on his hand.
"In my hometown, this has a similar function of ensuring safety. Let's take it with you and take a look."
Rem nodded, held the pendant up and looked at it for a while, then carefully tied it around his neck and buried the pendant deeply in the ravine in front of him.
Then the dragon carriage set off
Although it is hard to imagine that the earth dragon recovered to some extent after only two hours, it is indeed the case.
Yuexing sat on Rem's right and pinned the one-handed sword borrowed from Crusch's family to the dragon cart without any unnecessary decoration.
The only thing left is the reinforced sword body and the slightly longer hilt.
"Rem? How is the situation with empathy?" Maybe asked
"No reaction"
"Don't worry, how long will it take to arrive?"
"I'll definitely be there tomorrow," Rem said firmly.
Yuexing knows that Rem is also the kind of person who doesn't reveal his inner feelings easily. His seemingly calm heart is full of panic.
Yuexing put a hand on Rem's shoulder
"It's fine"
"Um"
What kind of responsibilities have the small shoulders under the hands endured?
…
"How's it going, Yuexing..." Subaru called softly from inside the carriage.
"It's very quiet. It's so quiet that it's eerie. There's definitely something there. Be careful, Rem." Yuexing whispered, putting his right hand on the sword.
The sword was pinned to the outer wall of the dragon chariot at an angle that allowed it to be pulled out with all its strength. There was also a Tang Dao on the left side of the waist just in case.
Just about an hour ago, the dragon carriage entered Roswaal's territory, and the journey was very quiet.
And just about half an hour ago, Subaru said that word
"Now unbearable anxiety and anger, passion has slipped in."
"Uh, disappeared, sister"
Rem said briefly, his expression became worried.
It suddenly disappeared. In other words, it was suppressed by force so as not to reach Rem.
"Rem, calm down." Yuexing patted Rem's back gently.
"Uh-huh"
"Subaru, get ready. The books here are very tall and closely spaced, making them perfect for hiding people."
"learn"
Yuexing stares at the road ahead, holding the sword in her hand tighter and tighter
"Moonstar...me" Rem said
——!
Yuexing stepped on the wooden board of the driver's seat and jumped out instantly.
Draw the sword with your right hand, and the sword will be unsheathed!
"Lan-Broken"!
Yuexing's knife drew an arc of light in the air, and the cyan light rushed forward.
Bang!——
a loud bang
The air was shaking, and Yuexing was knocked to the ground by the counter-shock force of the frontal attack.
"over there!"
As soon as the moon star hit the ground, it turned into an afterimage and rushed toward the trees in front of it.
He made an emergency stop, touched his waist with his left hand, and pulled out the knife from his waist.
Draw the sword with your left hand, second position!
"Lan-Broken"
The Tang knife exploded with cyan light and swung out quickly, making neat cuts across a large tree trunk.
Counting the strong wind in the back of my head, the blue afterimage appeared again, rushing upwards along the fallen tree trunk.
Crack!—Crack!—
Accompanied by the sound of branches breaking, the green light suddenly appeared again, jumping quickly in front of several trees, and rushed up.
boom!--
There were explosions at the tops of several trees, and moon stars continued to penetrate the smoke and dust between the branches and leaves.
"Yuexing, be careful!" Subaru's roar came.
Yuexing saw in the sky, more than a dozen wind blades and fireballs shot out from different trees.
"Wind Shield!"
The cyan spherical shield opened up, wrapping the moon and stars
Bang!——Boom!——
Continuous attacks hit targets in the air, accurate hits, and explosions continued one after another.
"Moonstar——" Rem yelled in a strained voice
A blue sphere flew upside down into the sky, and inside it was the tightly wrapped moon and stars.
"You guys leave quickly!" shouted the moon star in the ball
Rem was startled. The earth dragon seemed to understand and rushed towards the distance.
More wind blades and fireballs flew one after another
"Come on, you can't even break my shield."
Yuexing laughed and rushed into the woods, and the blue light continued to shuttle through the woods on both sides.
The sword light flashed continuously, and the big trees fell one after another.
Suddenly I ran to the middle of the road and looked at the woods in the distance.
"Eat my last Qiankun Throw!"
The Tang Dao in his hand shot out and turned into a sword beam that shot into the distance.
This is a little bit of blood hitting the land in front of you
Yuexing wiped her nose, and blood dripped down her fingers and fell to the ground.
"Unexpected nosebleeds are too troublesome."
Yuexing raised his head and tried to use local methods to stop the nosebleed.
The state of raising one's head as exaggeratedly as laziness, with the nostrils turned upward.
After a while, there was a feeling of congestion in the nose, and the nosebleeds stopped flowing.
Meditate on the spot and restore the Maya in your body
I just used too much Maya too recklessly, and now my body is in a state of Maya emergency.
While letting out a long breath, a feeling of tearing through the space came
coming!--
The summoned Tang Dao swung across the body in front of him, and then kicked him out.
The person above his head fell down, and Yuexing hugged him all of a sudden
"Rem?" Yuexing was startled.
"Yuexing..." Rem showed a painful smile
Yuexing found himself in a cave. In front of him, the arm holding Rem in his arms was twisted unnaturally.
It was obviously violently twisted.
Yuexing looked at the pendant in Rem's arms. The pendant was damaged, indicating that the protective spell on it had been destroyed.
Invoking the remaining teleportation spell on it, Rem was sent to Youmeng's address, and left a message to take good care of her.
Looking at the situation in front of me, an unknown anger arose.
"Moonstar!" Subaru cried.
"That guy! He's going to rip off Rem's hands and feet!——Uh"
Yuexing suddenly jumped in front of Subaru and slashed out with a knife
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts~"
A man with dark green hair, who was as slender as a dead man with only skin and bones left, stood up, and his body was slashed by Yue Xing.
"My friends are here again, ah! I'm so happy! Hmm!!——"
The lunatic person in front of him put his left little finger into his mouth and bit it into pieces.
"I am Tichius Romanee-Conti, the high priest of the Witch Cult..."
"Lazy" Yuexing interrupted Lazy's speech
"Who are you? You actually know me?" The corners of his mouth were covered with flesh and blood, and Lazy said, tilting his head at a 90-degree angle without caring about the bleeding.
"You don't need to know," Yuexing said calmly.
"It's really... mind-blowing!!——"
Lazy, who showed a sickly smile, bit the fingers of his left hand one by one like a normal person without hesitation, making the sound of broken bones and flesh ulcers.
"It hurts... it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Ah, this is the real feeling of being alive!"
Waving his left hand with rotten fingers, Sloth looked up at the ceiling with blood foam flying everywhere.
"Yuexing... Rem, is she okay?" Subaru asked, leaning against the cave wall.
"Well, I sent you away. It should be safe now. I will save you right now."
"save?"
Lazy tilted his head and looked at the moon and stars
"Yes... you..." Yuexing didn't finish her words.
"Yuexing! Be careful!"
Yuexing was stunned
Suddenly, Yuexing's left arm froze, and her hand suddenly twisted against the joints.
——!
He was suddenly thrown to Subaru's side
"Ahem!" Yuexing spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Those are black hands, can't you see?" Subaru shouted
"I thought I could see it, but the result was unexpected," Yuexing said dissatisfied
"System, why can't I see the invisible hand?" Yuexing's voice roared dissatisfiedly in his mind.
[Users can choose to turn it on, but this may trigger something different] The system sounds.
"Stop ink stains, open it quickly, how can you fight if you can't see it?"
The laziness in front of Yuexing's eyes has changed, and he can clearly see several black shadows waving behind him.
[Warning! Warning!]
Suddenly a red window appeared in front of Yuexing
"What...what's going on?" Yuexing asked in surprise.
