The next day was Alfonso's funeral.

It was drizzling that day, and the residents of Denim City held umbrellas to bid farewell to the hero at the Municipal Square.

Alfonso and his team faced the invading evil spirits at that time. If it weren't for their bravery, they fought to stop the evil spirits and sent people back to report the news in time, there would have been heavy losses this time, and there would have been more deaths.

However, almost all of their team died, and the battlefield was extremely tragic, and even the body was not found.

At this time, what was placed in the coffin was the uniform of Alfonso's guards and his captain's badge.

All the residents who came to pay their respects held a flower in their hands and gently placed it next to the coffin.

A small sob came from the crowd.

Alfonso is a native of Denim City. His neighbors watched him grow up, and later he watched the children of his neighbors grow up.

He looks tall and seems to be difficult to deal with, but in fact he has a very good temper. Which resident of Denim City has not dealt with him and troubled him?

Even those young men who loved Alicia in their youth but were scared by Alfonso's fists and dared not come to her house, all had tears in their eyes.

Alicia was wearing a black dress, her eyes were slightly red, and she bowed to the worshippers in silence.

Irdo was supported by his wife and walked in slowly, followed by a man in the uniform of the First Military Region.

The two of them worshipped for a longer time than the others. After the worship, they did not leave, but walked in front of Alicia.

Alicia hurriedly said, "Uncle Ildo, your injury hasn't healed yet, sit down for a while."

Ildo shook his head and whispered a few words to Alicia, then turned sideways to reveal the soldier behind him and introduced him, "His name is Jon."

Alicia looked at him in confusion.

Jon, who took off his hat, still looked childish. He bowed deeply to her and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Alicia, I should have been the one who died in that battle."

The patrol team at that time was composed of soldiers from the First Military District and members of various guard teams.

Jon was the youngest among them, and everyone took special care of him. When they encountered the evil spirit that day, according to the rules, Alfonso and Ildo, two members of the guard team, should have reported the incident, but Alfonso refused. He said that Jon's God Card was a pigeon, and he could report the incident faster than he did, so he gave the opportunity to Jon.

After listening to Ildo's explanation, Alicia shook.

Jon's face was already in tears.

When she heard it just now, she did have hatred and resentment, but seeing Jon, who was so overwhelmed by guilt that he couldn't speak, she thought of the conversation with her father, when he smiled and said, "That Jon, a little brat, has never even been on the battlefield. If he sees an evil spirit, he will probably be scared and cry..."

Dad has always been like this. He always dislikes the young members of the guard team, but he also silently cares for them.

She helped Jon up and said seriously, "Dad saved you, just hoping that you can live well. You haven't let anyone down."

Jon looked at her blankly.

Alicia had already let him go and bowed to the people who came to pay their respects behind.

Clement came at this time.

His eyes were full of bloodshot and his expression was decadent. After paying respect to Alfonso seriously and respectfully, he put down the flowers in his hand and came to Alicia.

Alicia was strong in front of everyone, but only in front of Clement could she show a trace of weakness.

Clement held her cold hand, and his heart seemed to be torn apart.

Alicia only allowed herself to be fragile for a short while, and soon pulled her hand out, looking at Clement's expression: "What's wrong with you? You look so bad?"

Clement forced a smile: "Nothing."

Alicia whispered: "Go and rest for a while, we'll see each other in the evening."

At that moment, Clement really wanted to stay regardless of everything.

But he opened his mouth, but said nothing.

As someone who once lived in the Central City, he knew more clearly than anyone how terrible the Temple was.

He had seen the methods used by the Temple when he was young, which made people want to live but not be able to, and want to die but not be able to. These were all imprinted on his young mind, so when he failed in the power struggle, he actually felt relieved for a moment, and finally chose to be exiled to the city of Denning, which was farthest from the Central City. The

priest came in person, which meant that they were determined to win.

They wanted to keep his life and would not hurt him, but what about the people he cared about, Alicia, Gu Xingmian, and the brothers in the guard...

He couldn't imagine what the Temple would do to them.

Moreover, even if the Temple really did something, with their high position, they couldn't even punish them.

Clement didn't dare to gamble.

Under the surveillance of the priest, he couldn't even say a word to Alicia.

He walked out with heavy steps, but couldn't help turning back to look at Alicia greedily. His hand tightly grasped the ring box in his trouser pocket. The sharp corners of the ring box reminded him to be rational.

He looked up at the cold expression of the priest not far away.

The priest changed his clothes and walked forward: "Mr. Melon, let's go."

Clement gritted his teeth and looked up in the direction of Mosca Academy, but he didn't wait for Gu Xingmian in the end. Under the urging of the priest, he had to leave.

He followed the priest and got on the latest model of the suspension car. The suspension car was gorgeously decorated, and there was a low roar representing speed and status.

Clement was absent-minded, just staring out the window.

The priest frowned and changed the car window to opaque, completely blocking out everything outside.

The suspended car roared and drove towards the outside of Denim City, but passed by another suspended car.

Eric leaned on the car window and exclaimed: "Look at that car, it's the Anos V3 Phantom! The latest model! It is said that there are only a few in the entire Saint-Rovis continent. Who is this big guy?"

Gu Xingmian glanced at it casually and started to dial Clement's communicator again, but it still showed that the call could not be connected.

"Maybe he is too busy." Xiao Qiong comforted him.

Gu Xingmian nodded and put away the communicator.

They were supposed to come here this morning, but who knew there would be so many examination items? Afterwards, they were asked questions by several doctors for a long time.

The fact that Gu Xingmian could treat God's Cards was temporarily suppressed by Gwen and Qin Ke, and was not known to the outside world. Therefore, several doctors only thought that he was seriously injured and recovered miraculously. Naturally, they could not help but be curious and wanted to see if his method of recovery could be promoted.

Gu Xingmian was afraid that he would be exposed if he continued to talk, so he quickly pulled Xiao Qiong away.

After leaving the hospital, they saw Song Nanting and others waiting outside to celebrate their discharge, which delayed them for some time.

After everyone paid tribute to Alfonso together, Gu Xingmian was puzzled to find that Clement was not there.

He asked Alicia and found out that Clement had been there and then left.

He was so angry that he almost fainted.

This idiot!

He didn't even stay with Alicia at this time, he deserves to be single for the rest of his life!!

He decided to find Clement and teach him a lesson!

The other teammates went back to the academy first, but Fu Fenglin and Eric stayed.

Gugu lay on top of Gu Xingmian with grievance. It was obvious that Gu Xingmian was seriously injured again after they separated, which made the little mushroom worried for a long time.

As they walked and talked, Gu Xingmian realized that so many things had happened during the ten days when he fainted.

Unexpectedly, his unintentional act actually caused a split among the card makers. After being suppressed, the apprentices and independent card makers directly sought help from the military district. Now with the support of the military district, they actually competed with the card maker family.

With the star pattern, the apprentices and independent card makers are not inferior to each other, and they are willing to endure hardships and put down their status. Everyone knows that they can buy high-level auxiliary cards at a very low price. Who is willing to go to the card maker family to be a sucker? The

card maker family was furious and raised the bounty of the mysterious host again.

However, true and false news spread back and forth, some said that he was caught, and some said that he was not caught.

Gu Xingmian couldn't help but interrupt: "This is fake news, they haven't caught him."

Eric looked at him in shock: "How do you know? No, how come you are more informed than me!"

Eric's self-esteem as a gossip expert was hit.

Gu Xingmian and Xiao Qiong smiled at each other.

Eric pestered him and insisted that he explain why he knew it was fake.

Gu Xingmian was overwhelmed by him, but fortunately he arrived at Clement's house soon.

But Clement was not at home.

Gu Xingmian called him again, and the result was the same.

"What on earth did he go for?" Gu Xingmian frowned.

Eric said, "Did he go to deal with the guard team?"

Gu Xingmian then realized that the guard team of Denning City is now managed by Alicia, assisted by Clement. There are indeed a lot of things to do now, so it is normal for him to be busy.

Clement is indeed a very responsible person, and this is like his style of doing things.

Although Gu Xingmian still felt a little uneasy, he still accepted the result.

"Then shall we go back to the academy now?" Eric asked.

Xiao Qiong replied: "No, we are going to meet a friend."

They were originally worried about their safety, especially Grove, so they didn't tell anyone about the mysterious owner of the building. But now, they can trust the military and naturally seek protection from the military. They no longer have to keep it a secret from their friends as before.

However, Grove's residence is very remote, and it took them a long time to get there.

The door of Grove's house was closed, no one answered when they knocked on the door, and the communicator was not connected.

Gu Xingmian was about to go crazy: "What the hell is going on today?!"

But Xiao Qiong took out a key.

Just as he was about to insert it into the keyhole, Eric suddenly called them.

Several people turned around and saw that Eric's expression was rare and serious.

He walked forward, looked at the door lock, and suddenly said, "Something is wrong."

Everyone looked at him in confusion.

Eric squatted down, wiped the ground with his index finger, and sniffed it. Suddenly his expression changed: "Run!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qiong was about to pull Gu Xingmian into his spiritual body, but when he saw the mushrooms on Gu Xingmian's hair, he changed his mind and ran out with him in his arms.

The original door suddenly broke open, and a series of blazing rays of light came out through the door.

Xiao Qiong immediately took out several shield cards, and shields instantly blocked him and Gu Xingmian.

However, the blazing light penetrated directly through the shield, and even penetrated several shields before the energy was finally consumed, but the last weak light still left a dark burn mark on the tree trunk behind.

If Xiao Qiong opened the door directly without Eric's reminder, the light would directly penetrate his body.

Fufeng Lin was shocked and angry: "What is this?"

Although Eric hid in embarrassment, he managed to escape. Hearing the words, he said: "New weapon, just this one, five million star coins."

Several people said: "!!!"

At this time, several tall figures slowly walked out of the smoke.

Gu Xingmian instantly felt the muscles on Xiao Qiong's body tighten and his expression changed.

This is Xiao Qiong's instinctive reaction when he encounters a strong enemy.

Gu Xingmian couldn't help but ask, "Are they strong?"

Xiao Qiong: "Very strong."

Although Xiao Qiong doesn't show off, he has always been confident in his own strength. Gu Xingmian rarely hears him say that his opponents are "very strong."

Sure enough, in the next second, the people who were originally far away rushed over in an instant.

Eric subconsciously wanted to attack them, but it was just a face-to-face encounter. The opponent didn't even use any cards, only relying on fists. Eric had no power to resist. Even if he took out auxiliary cards, he was quickly knocked to the ground and lost consciousness.

Fortunately, their target was not Eric. After knocking him unconscious, they ignored him and focused on attacking Xiao Qiong.

Fu Fenglin saw the strength of these people at a glance. They were no worse than his parents and elders. Moreover, they didn't say a word, and every move was a killing move.

Whose faction are they under?

He gritted his teeth, transformed the auxiliary card in his hand into a long sword, and was about to go forward to stop these people and let Xiao Qiong and the others run first.

He knew that he could only block five moves at most, but five moves was enough time for Xiao Qiong to take Gu Xingmian away and ask for help.

However, he didn't have this opportunity.

The steel rope in Xiao Qiong's hand suddenly changed direction, buckled around his waist, and threw him backwards. At the same time, Gu Xingmian threw the mushroom on his head into his arms: "Run! Go and ask for help!"

Fu Fenglin felt upset, but he did not waste the time they had bought for him. He stuffed the mushroom into his spiritual body and turned around and ran away.

However, the card masters ignored Fu Fenglin.

Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian felt depressed at the same time.

They let Fu Fenglin go because they knew they could catch them or kill them before the reinforcements came.

Moreover, their arrogance proved that they had a strong backstage and were not afraid of offending the Mosca Academy and the First Military Region.

Combined with their appearance at Grove's house, both of them thought of it at the same time - it was the card maker family!

They already knew the identity of the mysterious owner!

Xiao Qiong held Gu Xingmian behind him and fought against them alone.

However, their attack speed was constantly accelerating.

Xiao Qiong could not resist, and they soon found a loophole and attacked Xiao Qiong's face head-on, but when they were about to get close, a supplementary card appeared between their fingers, instantly turned into a dagger, and stabbed towards Xiao Qiong's eyes.

But the next second, the tip of the dagger turned around and stabbed directly into his palm.

Fortunately, the man reacted in time and quickly let go of his hand.

But it also gave Xiao Qiong the opportunity to throw out a few supplementary cards in his hand.

Gu Xingmian quickly flicked the star pattern, and a quicksand appeared under their feet, and countless thorny vines were trying to drag them down.

However, the tricks that always worked in the past failed on these card masters.

However, this also caused them a lot of trouble.

After the card masters climbed out of the quicksand, their expressions were finally not as relaxed as before.

However, they seemed to know that Gu Xingmian's skills were limited, so they didn't care.

But, five times...

ten times...

fifteen times...

...

Gu Xingmian's skills seemed to be endless.

Since waking up, Gu Xingmian found that he didn't need to take auxiliary cards anymore. Since the starry sky in his consciousness lit up, it seemed that an endless supply of power was pouring into his body.

As long as he wanted, he could even use up the mental power of these card masters.

These card masters seemed to realize this.

They thought they had a sure win. After all, they were the most elite card masters trained by the card maker family with massive resources. Wouldn't it be easy to catch a card master who hasn't graduated yet?

They didn't take Gu Xingmian and Xiao Qiong seriously at first.

They had seen Gu Xingmian's skills, but they didn't care, because in their eyes, Gu Xingmian's skills were too slow and they could easily dodge them, not to mention that there was a limit on the number.

But now, things are not developing as they imagined.

They are the ones who are the wolves.

Seeing the time passing by, they dared not hold back any longer and summoned their own God Cards.

They knew that Gu Xingmian had an affinity for God Cards, so they just let the God Cards attack Xiao Qiong.

This time, Xiao Qiong was under great pressure.

However, one of the card masters turned around and grabbed Gu Xingmian.

Gu Xingmian gritted his teeth.

The God Cards were close to him, and so was he. If possible, he really didn't want to hurt any of the God Cards.

Just as that person was about to approach.

Gu Xingmian's fingertips had already traced the star pattern on the God Card.

Almost instantly, the God Card that was still attacking Xiao Qiong suddenly turned around and began to attack its own card master.

Card Master: "!!!"
