Chapter 267 37: Old Friend
Purple tail returns to a familiar city.
When I passed by a candy store, I accidentally discovered that my favorite sandwich biscuits were also sold here.
Standing outside the shop window, Ziwei stared at it for a long time.
A little girl picking candies in the store also glanced at the little bird with a purple tail curiously. Following its gaze, she hesitantly put a few sandwich cookies into the shopping bag.
"Mom, you've got enough."
"Do you only need so little?"
"Well, that's enough."
After paying the bill, my daughter rushed to get the snacks bag, and then went out. Seeing that Ziwei was still there, he plucked up the courage, took out two sandwich biscuits from the snack bag, and tentatively stretched it out in front of Ziwei: "Little bird, do you want this? ?”
Zi Wei tilted her head, as if sizing up this timid yet courageous girl.
The girl put the packaged biscuits on the windowsill, and her mother looked on with a smile without stopping her.
"Can you open the package? This thing is sometimes difficult to open, but you should be able to open it with your sharp mouth. The outer layer is inedible." The girl used the words that adults taught her before. Teach Purple Tail.
Purple Tail did not speak, but just jumped a few times, grabbed two sandwich biscuits with its claws, then flapped its wings a few times, soared into the sky in the blink of an eye, and soon turned into a small black dot in the sky.
The girl opened her mouth and pointed to the sky: "Mom, look, the bird took away my biscuits!"
"I saw it, okay, go back." The mother rubbed the child's head, took her hand and prepared to leave.
"Mom, this is what the little bird just left." The girl raised a banknote and handed it to her mother excitedly.
My mother took the money in surprise, as if it was true? There are actually crows who know how to exchange money for food?
In the sky, Ziwei grabbed the biscuit tightly, not intending to stop any longer, and flew towards the nest where the wise crow was.
"Ang Ang, you are indeed back." In the nest, a soul crow that had been following the wise crow all year round saw the appearance of Purple Tail and was not surprised at all.
“Does the wise crow know that I’m back?” Ziwei asked curiously.
"The wise crow knows everything!" The soul crow raised its head, opened its wings and flapped, then looked at the biscuits on the purple tail's paws, "What is that, is it delicious?"
"No. The French fries are delicious," Purpletail replied.
"Ang, forget it." The soul crow was no longer interested after hearing this, "The wise crow left a message. If you want to find him, go to that place."
"That place?" Ziwei repeated, "Which place is it?"
"That's the place! That's what the wise crow said." The soul crow flew up, "I'm hungry, I'm going to prepare some potatoes. Article.”
After saying that, he ignored Ziwei and walked away.
Purple tail lowered his head and looked at the biscuits. He probably had the answer in his mind, and then he took off again and flew in a certain direction.
After spending some time, Ziwei arrived at a cemetery and wandered around in the sky for a few times before falling to the vaguely remembered location. He soon saw the existence of the wise crow.
"Wise Crow!"
Landing on the treetop, Ziwei called out slightly nervously.
The wise crow glanced at it and nodded. After a long time, he said: "It seems that you have found your favorite food."
"Yes, wise crow, I want to try it." Want to taste it?" Ziwei handed one to Wise Crow.
The wise crow shook his head: "This is your favorite food, not mine. In so many years, you are the second soul crow to escape the 'curse of French fries'."
" "Fries. Curse?" Ziwei didn't understand the word, which made him temporarily forget the question he originally wanted to ask.
“Yes, the curse of French fries.” The wise crow looked at it quietly and said slowly, “We were born in the highest heaven, and our favorite food is French fries. This is engraved on us by the Supreme. The instinct deep in memory is also a shackles.”
"But in fact, this shackles is not unbreakable, just like most of us soul crows cannot feel the existence of friendship and love, but I can vaguely feel that the Supreme has left a hole for us, but it has always been , it seems that not many soul crows can touch it."
"Only by guiding the soul crows to realize what emotion is, will we become a race in the true sense. This is also the purpose of my establishment of the patrol envoy system. ”
In Ziwei’s memory, this is the first time he has seen Wise Crow say so many words at once.
Moreover, these words contained a lot of information, and it took Purple Wei a long time to digest before he could barely recover.
"Can't you just tell the clansmen? Let them all understand friendship." Purple Tail remembered Phaedra's face when she timidly called herself Mr. Crow.
The wise crow shook its head, as if to indicate that it had already made efforts for this.
"Only real experience can make us realize that there are some things that cannot be explained clearly."
Purple tail lowered his head, remembering that the wise crow seemed to have hinted to him before, It's just that at that time, I didn't understand or care about such things.
“Because we soul crows don’t have this kind of emotion, we need to find humans to get along with, and then use humans to awaken us. So that’s it.” Ziwei seemed to have understood something.
“But human beings are divided into good and evil. It is not a wise choice to blindly let soul crows get along with humans. My plan is to proceed step by step and let the newborn soul crows take over the work of their parents and arrange the big changes. Soul Crow becomes an inspector and automatically learns to identify human beings' likes and dislikes through extensive contact, and then slowly gets close to the good people among them and learns their emotions."
The wise crow looked at a tombstone at the bottom: "I am very lucky. I don't know if it is the blessing of the supreme. From the beginning of my birth, I have more wisdom and emotions than other members of my race. I have also come into contact with a good human being and learned a lot about it. Many things."
There was a brief silence between the two crows, perhaps because they were remembering their human friends.
“I can know that you came here because the Supreme has given me the management of the soul lamp. Through the soul lamp, I can roughly know what you have experienced and where you are. The reason why you rushed back should be Do you have any questions to ask?" The wise crow summoned the soul lamp, but the shape of its soul lamp was slightly different from that of other soul crows. It was larger and brighter. Ziwei came back to his senses and cheered up: "Wise Crow, I want to know, in heaven, after good people die, their souls will have eternal dreams?"
When the wise crow heard this question, he was slightly stunned for a while: "I also want to know the answer to this question."
After taking a deep look at Ziwei, the Wise Crow did not answer directly: "Once upon a time, when the Supreme was about to return to heaven and rewarded my Lord with the Soul Lamp, I asked a question, 'Are our Soul Crows considered an intelligent race?' "
It was about the legendary Supreme. Ziwei had no time to envy him and eagerly wanted to know the answer: "Then what?"
"The Supreme said, 'It doesn't count now', and then gave I got this." I saw Wise Crow taking out the soul lamp and carefully taking out a star-shaped chassis and a pyramid-structured object. "This thing is called the 'Heaven Beacon'. The original Divine Grace Warlock relied on Only with the enlightenment of this object can I understand the divine grace and become what humans call extraordinary.”
“I think the supreme meaning is for me to understand this divine grace and then lead my people to become true wisdom. Race, but I didn’t have the courage at the time because I was afraid of failing and becoming a sinner of the Soul Crow clan. But now, I have figured out that this thing was probably not prepared for me.” Wise Crow stared at Ziwei, “Tell me, Are you willing to take on this responsibility? After becoming a Divine Grace Warlock, you may be able to find the answer to the question you just asked yourself."
Purple tail did not answer immediately, but looked at the constant movement of the heaven beacon quietly. The rotating pyramid tip is in a daze.
Reef coast at dusk.
Ye Jie stood on a reef. After passing by her, the yellowish light seemed to be dyed into white light, forming a halo that was incompatible with the picture.
The Demon Lord carefully lay down on the small reef, enduring the waves being washed away one after another but not daring to complain.
After her very serious and careful search, most of Europa was almost gone. The clues left by the gathering of souls found were either traps or taunts, and many more had no reference value. temporary residence.
After all, she was the one who made the suggestion with full confidence in the first place. Now that the result is so fruitless, don’t let it be made into a dog meat pot out of anger.
Although generally speaking, there should be nothing in the world that can completely kill her, but making an unkillable dog meat pot sounds like it is even worse!
A crab climbed up along the reef, and soon it was about to touch Ye Jie's bare feet. The Demon Lord called a loyal protector and quickly hit it with his head to kill the crab. The crab rolled back into the sea.
"Go back, it's time to go to Tokyo. The Soul Gathering will not miss this opportunity. When the time comes, you need to cheer up." After looking at the sea for a while, Ye Jie did not intend to continue searching. , it can be seen from the traces left behind that the Soul Gathering has completely withdrawn from Europa, and it is estimated that they will not dare to come back for the time being.
"Don't worry, Goddess! I will definitely bite them!" The Demon Lord responded quickly.
Ye Jie also understood the virtues of the demon lord and did not express anything about it. He just took her back into the holy water bottle.
Although this period of time together gave her a high degree of confidence in believing that the Demon Lord had sincerely surrendered to her, but even if she trusted him 100% in such a being with an evil background and powerful abilities, she would only feel that she had been confused. You must use the holy water bottle to limit the opponent's power at all times.
She still vividly remembers the consequences of the Mocheng Rebellion, as well as those creatures who should not have died.
She collected her thoughts, put away the bottle of holy water, and took out her mobile phone from her space earring. She wanted to contact Jennifer, but found that the other party had already called her.
Call back and Jennifer answered quickly.
"How's it going? Ye Jie, have you finished searching over there?" Jennifer asked as soon as the call came through.
"The search is basically over. The Soul Gathering has given up all its strongholds. It should be that it has temporarily withdrawn from Europa." The holy water bottle enlarged and became a means of transportation in the blink of an eye. Ye Jie sat on it sideways and controlled the holy water bottle to quickly rise into the air, towards Jennifer Bacheng where they were located rushed to meet up.
“Oh, I guess they know their stuff, these guys, I was warned in North America. Really, I am an American and I was warned when I returned to America.” The reason for Jennifer’s call was obviously not This, but as soon as she started talking, she started talking.
Ye Jie didn't remind her either. She really liked hearing Jennifer complain about these big and small things to her. After all, she was the only one who could get along with her like this.
“Ah, what did I say?” Jennifer complained for a long time before she realized what she was going to say. She forgot what she was going to say.
"You just seemed to be talking about catching penguins in the Arctic." The wind in the sky was strong, but it couldn't blow on her face and didn't affect her speech.
"Ah, yes, no!" Jennifer on the other end shook her head violently, "I really found something interesting in Bacheng, but I couldn't explain it clearly on the phone. Since you are back now and the gourd flies so fast, then I’ll tell you in detail when you come back.”
“That’s not a gourd.” Before he could finish his words, he found that Jennifer had hung up the phone.
In fact, the holy water bottle is only slightly curved, and there is still a big gap between it and the gourd.
It seems that after Jennifer traveled around the world and failed to find her family's sacred objects, her mentality was a little unbalanced. Ye Jie rarely snickered.
It didn’t take long for her to rush back to Bach from the coast of Norway and find the place where Jennifer stayed, a luxurious five-star hotel.
"This hotel is the property of the Holy See. Living here is much safer than the place they provide. Moreover, because Olivier committed suicide, the remnants of the Demon Lord were eliminated, and the Soul Assembly ran away, there is nothing we need to do. It was originally planned that we would set off to Tokyo as a group as soon as you came back, but when I was wandering around Bacheng yesterday, I discovered something unexpected.”
There is also a several-storey hotel built next to it. The annex building is luxuriously decorated inside and does not accept outsiders. It is only used to receive high-level or extraordinary people.
Jennifer and Ye Jie walked among them, and the staff bowed their heads respectfully, without causing any confusion.
Jennifer still has a good eye for Bacheng. After all, her first birthday with someone to celebrate was here. Unfortunately, it has been a long time since her birthday this year, and she did not wait for the scumbag. Information about male Shiraishi Hiro.
Going into the elevator, with Jennifer's seemingly random presses, the elevator started downwards, obviously past the underground parking lot, and arrived at a hidden underground floor that was not on the surface.
There are no staff here, but the lights are bright and the layout is simple, as are the rooms.
Walked to a relatively advanced security door, entered the password, recognized biometric information, and the door was opened.
Then, Ye Jie saw a living room among the iron fence, and a thin man huddled in a corner.
For some reason, Ye Jie's heart moved slightly.
"Little girl, I know you're not asleep, come here, let's take a good look." Jennifer knocked on the fence and said in a seductive voice.
But no matter what she said, the little girl in the corner still covered her head and remained motionless. If it weren't for her slightly undulating breathing, she would be like a corpse.
A bright light flashed across Ye Jie's mind, and his breathing became a little faster. He grabbed the railing and said tentatively: "Swing the sword a thousand times and block five hundred times. Whoever finishes it first can eat first. Lunch? "
The little girl trembled, as if with a little disbelief, she slowly raised her head, revealing a foxy face, loosened her hands, and twitched her two fox ears. Shaking, and behind them, the fox tail was also revealed in front of them.
"Sister Ye Yejie?"
