"Uncle, where did you learn your extraordinary skills? They look very unique."
"Little girl, don't ask about everything."
Perhaps because they had become familiar with each other in the past few days, Jenna was less restrained in asking questions than in the past, which gradually made this uncle's head grow bigger.
"Can't you tell me? Or is there a sad past in it?" Jina turned and tilted her head to look at the unshaven old man beside her.
"It's not too sad. In fact, my skills also come from Emenas, but I am not a student there."
"It's because I once had a cousin who was from Emenas. It was he who taught me some knowledge about practicing extraordinary sequences when I was young, and then I embarked on this path."
"Of course, I'm not as talented as him. War Sequence 4 is my limit."
"What about your cousin?"
"Dead."
"Why!?"
"Why did you die?"
"Oh, it's not too ideal. If you offend some people who shouldn't be offended, no matter how talented you are, you will die unexpectedly." The uncle sneered.
"Later, I wandered around and developed my skills."
"Then you came back and killed those enemies?"
"No, we still can't beat them. There are so many of them."
"Hmm."
"But I'm not stupid either. When dealing with bad guys, you don't have to be too particular about your methods. I still killed them one by one." The uncle thought of happy things.
"Uncle is so awesome." Jina blinked.
"No need to flatter me, it's time to say goodbye."
The horses of the two stopped at an intersection, one heading west and the other north. Jenna wanted to go to Beacon City in the west, while the scimitar man wanted to take a walk to the north.
"So fast." Jenna felt that she still had many questions to ask this uncle, but there was not enough time.
Seeing the scimitar rider riding north, Jenna shouted, "Uncle, how do you think this country can change for the better?"
"How is it okay? If it doesn't get better, just live like this."
"Uncle, if your cousin was still here, how do you think this country could be better?"
"Ha, how can we improve this field full of weeds and borers?"
"It's better to burn it with fire." His voice slowly disappeared at the end of the road along with his back.
Standing at the intersection, Jena looked at the empty intersection and stood still for a long time before riding her horse to the west. The sound of ticking hooves echoed in the empty valley.
On the other side, the scimitar man walked all the way north. Looking at the desolate fields and sky, he couldn't help but recall his youthful days.
Haha, I didn’t expect that I couldn’t help but say what was in my heart in the end.
Who allowed me to have such a cousin? That figure was my idol when I was young.
----------
Two days later, Jena finally arrived at Fengyan City. The scene in front of her shocked her. The once solid and prosperous Fengyan City now had huge holes in its gates. Bodies were still burning outside the city, and waves of unpleasant black smoke floated in the air.
in the air.
Her forward speed gradually slowed down, and finally she led her horse to the city gate, where the guards at the gate stopped her.
"What is your identity? You can't come in and out at will now." Maybe it's because the forces here are complex and the guards have some small thoughts.
"I am Mulon's daughter, Jena, and I am currently a student of Emenas." She said.
"Mulong?" The guards seemed to have remembered something, and asked her to wait by the gate for a while, and then sent someone to inform the city.
Not long after, a man with sharp eyebrows walked over quickly. It was Mulon, one of the mercenary leaders in Black Rock Witz County.
"Follow me." He told the guard briefly, and then took Jenna into the city.
There was silence all the way, and Jenna felt that her father seemed a little angry.
After arriving at a medium-sized courtyard, Mulon brought Jenna into this heavily guarded place, surrounded by his men and people Jenna was familiar with. It was only then that she breathed a sigh of relief.
After entering the house, he found a separate room. Mulon brought a glass of water, placed it in front of Jena, and then asked.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come back?" His brows furrowed, as if he was not happy about the father-daughter meeting this time.
"I'm worried about my father and everyone." Jina lowered her head.
"childish."
"Then, can you change anything by coming here? I still have to find someone to protect you."
"But...I'm afraid I'll never see you again."
"I'm afraid. I'm even more afraid that our father and daughter will die here, and there will be no one to avenge me." Mu Long sat in front of Jena and lightly clasped his fingers on the table.
...
After a long time, after seeing his daughter lowering her head and saying nothing, Mu Long's tone softened slightly.
"You haven't fully grown up yet. You will have a better future in school. If you want to do something, you can do it later when you have the strength."
"But, I can't be so heartless." Jina bravely raised her head and looked at her father with her jasper eyes.
"I don't want to regret it after losing it."
Mulon looked at his daughter's appearance, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
"That's all, you can stay here for today and leave tomorrow. I'm still alive, as you can see."
"But..." Jenna seemed to want to say something else.
"But what? The current situation in the city is unstable and undercurrents are surging. Staying here will only distract me, and you will become a handle for them to manipulate me."
"I...understand, Father." Jina slowly lowered her head and agreed.
After a sleepless night, Jenna tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling asleep.
The next day, noon.
Jenna rubbed her forehead, which was still awake, struggled to get dressed, and went downstairs to eat.
"There is still some food left in the pot in the kitchen next to it. Let's go after eating." Mulon was sitting in the hall, with several people discussing things around him.
"Yes, Father." Jenna nodded and walked to the other side to warm something up.
She opened it and saw the rich meat and vegetables inside. She felt warm in her heart, and then started eating slowly, as if she wanted to stay here for a while longer.
"Chief, the City Lord's Mansion has sent someone over to ask you to come over for a meeting."
While Jena was eating, a man in chainmail rode into the yard, got down, and went into the house to report.
"I know, when?"
"immediately."
"So urgent?"
"Yes, it is said that Frost Rose has also sent people to participate this time to discuss the matter and come to a conclusion."
"The result? They just want us to be used as cannon fodder to fight against Clanscia." A person dressed as an aide nearby commented casually.
"But now we can't refuse. Since they can support giving us these things, they can also turn around and support others to take them away." Several people in the room sighed.
"Moreover, now we still have to choose who will be responsible for Black Rock's words in the future, and various conflicts may arise again. Those mages have never cared about our internal fighting. They just want to see the results quickly."
"In other words, we are against each other so that they can control the entire Black Rock Principality."
"Okay, stop talking and let's go." Mulon put on his armor, stood up, and called to the kitchen.
"Leave immediately after eating, don't hesitate."
"I understand, father." Jenna's small voice came from the side.
