Chapter 197: The Perseverance of the Holy Hammer·Bobby
In a noisy and warm atmosphere.
The little warrior finally squeezed to the back of the main venue and found a wooden pillar. It was easy to climb up and it was not in front of people's eyes.
So the little warrior quickly climbed up, just high enough to see the celebration venue.
Maybe the time is just right.
At the other end of the main arena, a speaker and a group of Demacian officials stood on a podium, behind a behemoth covered by a ceremonial curtain.
At the front is the judge of Fenglian Town, with a gentle smile on his calm face, and the bronze wings emblem on his chest shining brightly.
Although the crowd was loud, the witty remarks of the speakers and judges were heard throughout the venue.
They told the story of the Demon Slayer, how he had saved countless farms and towns.
And solve many monsters and robbers.
Finally, the judge in Fenglian Town said that this noble warrior chose to remain anonymous, but they should still honor his deeds.
A few weeks ago, someone saw the appearance of the Demon Slayer during a disaster.
After speaking, the judge wore a formulaic smile and opened the red ceremony curtain together with the speaker, revealing a lifelike stone statue.
Fenglian Town invited carvers from the Dulang family to carefully carve it.
The little warrior saw the appearance of this demon slayer for the first time, and his purple eyes filled with excitement.
The stone statue is a typical Demacia warrior.
Two meters tall, wearing thick silver plate armor with prominent muscles.
At his feet lay the corpses of a vicious wolf and a wyvern, which he had obviously killed.
This image began to take root in the little warrior's mind.
Until she heard the innocent voice of a child a few meters away.
"Dad, look, it's a demon slayer, just like the statue." A little girl shouted happily.
The little warrior looked in the direction pointed by the little girl, and then immediately looked back.
She thought the Demon Slayer was standing behind her, but she didn't see anyone.
"No, child." The little girl's father shook his head.
“That’s not a demon slayer, he’s less than half the height.”
After the little girl heard this, her father quickly lost interest.
They went to the other side of the market square to participate in other celebrations.
In the figure in front of the little girl, there was a handsome guy who also turned around after hearing the sound, and also saw the presence of the little warrior.
"Yordels?"
Looking at the little warrior on the pillar, such thoughts instantly came to Huo Jixing's mind.
This is not for nothing.
But the little warrior in front of him fits the description of the Yodle very well.
Yordles are one of the main intelligent races on the continent of Valoran.
They have blue skin, a slightly plush feeling, and an average height of only about 0.8 meters. They mainly live in Bandle City.
If Valoran is the physical realm, then Bandle City exists in the spiritual realm.
Together we build a unique rune magic time.
Yordles are a peaceful and gentle race that prefers to pursue joy and a little mischief.
Moral compass usually points to kindness and kindness.
The little warrior in front of Huo Jixing is a Yodel.
Even though he had never seen a Yodel before, he still recognized the identity of the little warrior.
And he is still a hero who has an extremely deep impression in his past life memory.
On the top of the wooden pillar, the little warrior's gray-white twin ponytails stick up behind his head, his amethyst-like eyes, and his plush blue face, which is extremely cute.
What attracted Huo Jixing's attention the most was the huge holy hammer she carried on her back.
The length of the hammer is as long as two of hers. It contrasts with the golden and bronze armor, giving it an air of bravery and perseverance.
“I’m not a hero, just a Poppy with a hammer!”
In Huo Jixing's past life memories, there are many interesting anecdotes about Bobby.
For example, Poppy in gun form, Poppy in ninja form, Poppy in wizard form, Poppy in witch form, Poppy in mushroom form, and Poppy in bomb form.
The most famous one is undoubtedly Poppy who stayed up late.
In the center of the market square, the crowd in front of the Demon Slayer statue gradually dispersed, and the judge and speakers had already left.
Huo Jixing noticed Bobby walking towards the statue, and looked at it carefully in front of the statue.
The carefully sculpted Demon Slayer's hair is very long, tied with two knots on both sides, like her ponytail.
His war-torn hands were uneven, holding a giant war hammer that looked very much like the holy hammer Oren gave her.
Poppy thought to himself that he didn’t know who else in the kingdom could be more peerless than this hero.
But deeper inside, Bobby asked another question.
After she delivers the Holy Hammer, where will she go?
Will she find a new purpose?
Yordles without goals are very pitiful.
Bobby thought about it and was horrified. His heart trembled. He stopped thinking and returned to the task at hand.
“I must find this Demon Slayer.”
Behind Bobby, Huo Jixing stepped forward, looked at the statue of the Demon Slayer standing in front of him, and then looked up. Head burpee.
Suddenly, something moved in his heart, and he connected the two things.
“Demon slayer?” Huo Jixing laughed softly.
What saved countless farms and villages, what killed the wyverns, and what killed the infected wolves.
It's just a random deed done by Poppy, the Perseverance of the Holy Hammer, when he was looking for a hero.
"Bobby?" Huo Jixing walked up to the yordle and said hello with a smile.
"Huh?" Poppy turned around and looked at the human in front of him with his purple eyes doubtfully.
“Do I know you?”
She sensed that the other party was a demon-stained person, and a very powerful demon-stained person.
"I know you." Huo Jixing squatted down and extended his right hand in good faith.
“Huo Jixing, you can call me Xing.”
Poppy clenched the Holy Hammer of Oren in his hand, his eyes flashed, and finally he stretched out his plush palm.
"Poppy."
"Well, it's almost noon. Let's go and treat you to a meal."
Huo Jixing's eyes fell on the golden hammer , then stood up and walked to the hotel.
“Ah!”
Bobby looked shocked when he heard this, and panic appeared on his blue face.
She originally thought that after seeing the Demon Slayer sculpture, she would leave the celebration and continue looking for traces of the peerless hero.
But as a yordle, Poppy doesn’t know how to reject others.
Otherwise, there would not be such stories about the Demon Slayer passed down in nearby towns.
In the caravanserai, the atmosphere was silent.
Maybe the celebration in the town was too popular and there were not many people in the hotel.
The head of the caravan and the guards have already gone to the market square to get busy.
Only the proprietress Eina stayed behind the table, her pretty face resting on her white arms, and her eyes dully observing the corner of the hotel.
Hearing the footsteps, Eina stood up to greet them, wearing a red dress, showing off her graceful figure.
“Follow yesterday’s meal, plus a portion of white bread, vegetable soup and special bacon.”
After Huo Jixing finished speaking, he ignored Aina's charming look and walked to the dining table in the hotel.
Because right now, he has more important things to do.
After the cup of tea.
When Poppy saw the food on the table, his purple eyes turned: "Is there so much food?"
"Well, I have a big appetite."
Huo Jixing said with a smile, took out the snow-white Poro in his arms and placed it next to the dinner plate.
I don’t know what’s going on with this little guy recently, and he’s seriously drowsy.
“Wow, it’s Poro.”
The moment Poppy saw the snow-white Poro, his purple eyes showed excitement. Sure enough, Snow White Poro is very lethal to women. Huo Jixing thought secretly.
Poppy quickly put down the food in his hand and hugged the snow-white poro, his expression full of joy.
After playing around for a while, Poppy took the Snow White Poro to enjoy the meal together, completely forgetting his previous reluctance.
After lunch.
The crowd in front of the hotel has not stopped yet. On the contrary, there is a trend of increasing numbers.
People from the villages and camps around the town also came to participate in the celebrations. Crowds of people began to rush to the market square of the town.
Poppy was now oblivious to what was going on outside the window, sitting upright on the wooden chair, holding the snow-white Poro in his arms, and concentrating on teasing him.
And Huo Jixing's eyes were looking straight at the golden hammer on Bobby's back.
The purpose of his treat is very simple -
It all depends on this legendary golden hammer!
In Huo Jixing's past life memories, there are many descriptions of this holy hammer.
Rumor has it that this holy hammer was created for the "peerless hero of Demacia". Only this person has the ability to protect the unity and unity of Demacia.
Poppy, the Perseverance of the Holy Hammer, adheres to the last wish of his former master Oren.
I made an oath to find this hero and hand over the Holy Hammer to him.
Of course Huo Jixing does not think that he is Demacia's peerless hero.
But there was an extremely hungry feeling coming from the data panel.
Silently telling the grade of this golden holy hammer, it is comparable to Darius's black cutter.
Even the inner rune magic is even more powerful!
“Do you want this hammer?” Bobby seemed to see Huo Jixing’s hidden purpose.
"Only Demacia's peerless heroes can pick it up."
"No, I just want to observe it." Huo Jixing's eyes flashed, clarifying his wishes. .
"Personally, I prefer collecting strange equipment and rune items."
"Oh, that's okay."
Poppy nodded, took off the golden holy hammer from behind, and tied it with his waist The shield hanging between them made a crisp sound.
"Huh?"
Huo Jixing took the golden hammer and raised his eyebrows lightly.
He felt the terrifying weight of the golden holy hammer, which was almost as heavy as a heavy ballista.
Then he reached out and brushed the handle and head of the hammer, but there was no reaction at all, and no magic power fluctuation at all.
It looks like an ordinary hammer.
However, the hunger for the data panel is still there, but it is much weaker than before.
Perhaps sensing the inexplicable danger, Oren's Hammer glowed with golden light. When Huo Jixing was not paying attention, he broke away his arm and fell to the ground.
Poppy had a sharp eye and quick hands. He held the snow-white Poro in one hand and held the hammer handle in the other.
When turning your wrist, rotate the Hammer of Oron in a circle and land on your back.
“Hey, it seems to hate you?” Bobby looked a little confused.
She has found many people to hold the Hammer of Oron, but this is the first time she has seen the hammer hate someone so much.
Huo Jixing laughed awkwardly and lowered his eyes to hide his emotions.
"I just have slippery hands."
"Really?"
Poppy glanced at Huo Jixing, and for the sake of the snow-white Poro, gave up and continued to ask.
"There is a circus performance over there in the market square. If you are bored, you can go and have a look." Aina finished clearing the table, looked at Huo Jixing and Bobby, and said with a smile.
“This is the circus that Your Honor specially found for the Demon Slayer Ceremony.”
"Demon Slayer? Have you heard her story too?"
Huo Jixing looked at Aina with a vague look in his eyes.
"Of course, demon slayers fight off robbers and bandits and protect surrounding villages and towns from monsters and outlaws."
Eina ran her fingers through her hair , with gentle eyes, bent down to pick up the dinner plate, and walked to the kitchen.
Watching Aina's back disappear into the kitchen, Huo Jixing turned to look at Bobby.
"Are you going?"
"I haven't seen the circus in a long time. Why don't you go and see it?" Poppy hugged the snow-white poro and rested his chin on one hand.
In order to fulfill Oren's last wish, she somewhat forgot when she had seen a circus performance.
How long ago was the last time?
Poppy can’t remember clearly.
Just when Huo Jixing and Bobby were preparing to set off.
Bobby stopped and looked at the corner of the hotel, where he saw a squatting numb man.
His eyes fell on the kitchen of the hotel, as if he was following Aegina.
Bobby walked over and presented some food he had brought.
Hearing the movement, the thin man moved his numb eyes, looked into Poppy's purple eyes, and nodded imperceptibly to express his gratitude.
Then he continued to look blankly at the hotel kitchen.
Not far out of the hotel, Poppy hesitated slightly and then spoke softly.
"His heart has long been filled with evil, but there is still only a little kindness left."
Huo Jixing's eyes flashed and he realized something.
He thought that Eina never seemed to expel the insensitive man who looked like a beggar, and allowed the man to stay in the hotel.
At the same time, he couldn't help but admire the Yodels' sensitive senses.
This is something that [Suzaku·Red Eyes with Fire Pupils] cannot detect.
Unless the numb man's heart completely changes to evil, the cloud will change to dark gray.
Then he thought of himself.
With Poppy's sensitive senses, once he senses his malice, he might decisively swing the Hammer of Auron.
Fortunately, I didn't have any other thoughts about Bobby.
This is also due to the yordle people, who are naturally friendly and kind.
In the bustling market square, to the left of the Demon Slayer statue.
A colorful circus tent rises, streamers fluttering in the breeze.
The arrival of the circus seems to bring more joy and surprises to the Demon Slayer celebration.
The simple ticket office in front of the cloak was already crowded with townspeople.
Most of them are children pulling adults along happily and walking over happily.
Huo Jixing also took Bobby's left hand and squeezed in together.
From a distance, they look like adults and children, blending into this happy atmosphere.
As I squeezed forward, an invisible force filled the air, shaking away the townspeople along the way.
Huo Jixing and Bobby arrived at the ticket office smoothly. After purchasing the tickets, they entered the circus tent.
The tent was very lively and various exciting performances had already begun.
Including a blazing fire ring performance, horse skills display, and a duel between warriors and wolves.
Huo Jixing was even seen performing as a fearless vanguard legionnaire fighting against the enemy.
Just when the atmosphere of the performance was getting heated, someone in the front row stood up.
Huo Jixing recognized him as the Demacia judge from Fenglian Town.
Wearing a brocade robe and a formal smile, this middle-aged man greeted the townspeople around him and prepared to leave the circus.
Everyone immediately stood up to see them off, and the circus also paused its performance to salute the judge.
After the middle-aged judge left, the noise in the tent started again.
The laughter of adults and children filled the tent inside and outside.
There are rumors that the judge of Fenglian Town is a descendant of a noble family, which has enhanced the status and reputation of the town.
It also makes the Demon Slayer celebration even more meaningful, and all the officials and townspeople who participated are honored.
"A descendant of a noble family?" Huo Jixing looked in the direction where the judge was leaving.
Compared to Judge Giselle whom I met in Forsbarrow Town.
The middle-aged man who just left seemed more like a Demacian judge. In this Demon Slayer celebration, his power was undoubtedly displayed.
