“Huh…”

Following behind Fang Zheng and Tilia, Nanoka kept yawning and looked exhausted.

"Do Fire Mist Warriors also feel mentally exhausted?"

Fang Zheng looked at Nanoka, who was sleepwalking, with amusement. He was not as dissatisfied as Dilia. Ever since this girl became addicted to video games, she had not slept for several days. During the day, apart from running errands for Fang Zheng and Dilia, Nanoka spent most of the rest of her time playing games.

"Fire Mist Warriors don't need to eat, but they still need to rest their spirits. Nanoka has been playing too crazy lately..."

The King of the Red World, Sonia, who was attached to Nanoka's bracelet, also complained helplessly, while Nanoka curled her lips.

"What can I do? The game is so fun. I really want to know what's going to happen next. For example, who built the Halo, why the Flood was sealed there, and the Forerunners' equipment, and... oh, by the way, Sonia, from now on I'll call you Cortana, okay?"

"I refuse!!"

Upon hearing this, Sonia immediately became furious.

"I am your contractor! Nanoka, wake up! That Cortana is just an AI, a being similar to Phosphorus! And I am no worse than Cortana! I am the noble King of the Crimson World! How dare you think I am worse than an AI?!"

"Really? You have completely disgraced the Red World Cult."

Holding Fang Zheng's arm, Tilia did not forget to attack Sonia from time to time. Just like the Red World disciple killed by Fang Zheng before, she also believed that the Red World Demon Kings who signed a contract with the Fire Mist Warriors were basically executioners who helped outsiders slaughter their compatriots... Well, if I had to say it, it was like seeing an interpreter standing beside a Japanese soldier with a smile on his face and saying "Taijun, come this way" with a respectful face. How unhappy it was.

So whenever Tilia found an opportunity, she would ridicule Sonya, but Sonya was obviously not as eloquent as Tilia, so in the face of Tilia's ridicule, she could only helplessly endure it.

"But speaking of which... Onii-sama, have you noticed? The number of bugs spying on us in the dark has increased again."

"Yeah, I found that too."

Hearing Tilia's whisper, Fang Zheng nodded, and then he glanced behind him inconspicuously. Ever since they entered this area, there have been fire fog warriors secretly monitoring them. At first, Fang Zheng didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that these fire fog warriors just learned their lesson. After all, his and Tilia's reputations were well known, and those fire fog warriors would not bother them again if they had a little bit of common sense.

But as time went by, the number of Fire Mist Warriors following him and his companions not only did not decrease, but increased, which made Fang Zheng feel a little strange. Because according to Shana at that time, there was usually only one Fire Mist Warrior in charge of an area, and others would leave if they sensed the presence of their companions. But according to the reactions of Tilia and Nanoka, this area was very peaceful, there were no Fire Mist Warriors and no Red World followers, and it was impossible for so many Fire Mist Warriors to gather there.

And in this way, it is clear why they gathered together.

There is no hatred between him and the Fire Mist Warrior, but it doesn’t matter, because just yesterday, Shana had a phone call with him and told him something.

Somehow, the news that he possessed the lost child of Zero Hour had spread, and now most of the Red World disciples and Fire Mist Warriors knew about it.

Strictly speaking, Shana should be blamed for this, after all, she submitted the report to the outside world. However, Shana and Fang Zheng were not very familiar with each other at that time, and she was still a "qualified fire mist warrior" at that time. Naturally, she had to report the fact that someone possessed the Zero Hour Lost Child Noble Phantasm.

In fact, Wilhelmina came to Yuqi City because she read her report.

Shana was not stupid. After asking Wilhelmina, she knew the whole story. She felt sorry for Fang Zheng and even lost her usual arrogance. She called Fang Zheng to apologize. To be honest, Shana could not be blamed. After all, she did not know that the Red World was also looking for the missing child at that time. But no matter what, she had caused the trouble herself, so Shana would not just leave it alone.

And according to Shana, the outsiders of the Nordic branch seem to be planning to forcibly seize the Zero Hour Lost Child from them... Well, it seems that these guys are just looking for death.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, it's exactly a string of gourd brothers. Unfortunately, there is no old man here for you to save.

"It's okay, we'll go shopping."

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng smiled slightly and continued to speak. Hearing his answer, Tilia also showed a sweet smile and hugged Fang Zheng's arm tightly.

"Yes, my dear brother."

With Tilia, Fang Zheng continued to stroll around the small town. They did not choose any tourist attractions. For Fang Zheng, it was better to wander around in this small town than to go to those crowded tourist attractions. In his opinion, the so-called tourism is to experience the local customs and culture. And those tourist attractions are mostly for outsiders to see. Just like people in African countries do not all live in trees, and Egyptians no longer use pyramids as tombs. If you want to feel the real flavor, you still have to go deep into the masses, deep into the countryside, and deep into the cultural life of the people... Ahem, I digress.

It was still morning in the town, and there were few people on the streets. Fang Zheng and Tilia walked silently along the cobblestone road, enjoying the scenery along the way. Nanoka followed behind them, squinting her eyes and yawning as she walked forward as if sleepwalking. To her, the scenery here was part of her daily life, and she had long been accustomed to it. There was nothing special about it.

Next time if you have time, take Nymph out for a walk.

Looking at Tilia with a sweet smile beside him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but think of the little angel. Of course, he didn't want to favor one over the other. He didn't bring the little angel with him this time. He had to find a time to make it up to her next time. He didn't know what happened to the little angel in the main world now, but fortunately, there was no problem with the summoning stone on the dimensional code, which meant that the little angel should not be in danger.

Well, if it weren't for the chain...

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng suddenly felt unhappy again. Although the woman's soul had been taken away by Masail, Fang Zheng still felt unhappy when he thought about it now, and he was very unhappy. He didn't know what the price would be to repair the chain... or if he could find similar clues in this world?

"Brother?"

"Almost."

Hearing Tilia's reminder, Fang Zheng's face darkened and he put away his thoughts. He could already feel that the seven fire mist warriors were closing in on him and his companions from all directions. Obviously, they felt that the encirclement had been formed and were ready to take action.

But Fang Zheng obviously wouldn't let them move first. It was impossible to release a second seal in the seal, which was the biggest weakness of Fang Zheng's current ability. If the opponent released the seal before him, then his seal would not be released. Therefore, Fang Zheng would hardly release the seal in front of others, unless...

"Seal it."

In just a blink of an eye, the small town that was originally shrouded in green disappeared in a vast expanse of white snow. The cold wind mixed with snowflakes whistled across the wilderness, blowing on the stunned fire mist warriors.

"Okay, you stalkers, you must be tired after following me all the way. Now tell me, what do you want from me?"

Fang Zheng stood in the snowy field, coldly watching the fire mist warriors in all directions. Nanoka seemed to have not recovered yet, just standing there blankly. Tilia had already stepped back with a smile on her face, blocking Nanoka's side without leaving a trace.

"We are members of the Eastern European branch of the Outer Space."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, a tall man in a suit looked at him gloomily and then spoke. Although he had already noticed that the seal released by Fang Zheng was not the same as they imagined, the strange seal in front of him still made him feel a little uneasy. After all, this seal seemed different from what they had mastered, and it seemed more like it was specially used for fighting...

But even so, the man in the suit was still not shaken. He was an experienced fire fog warrior who had been fighting against the Red World for hundreds of years and was quite famous among the fire fog warriors. He had seen all kinds of storms and waves, so how could he react to such a trick?

"We have received intelligence that the treasure 'Lost in Zero Hour' is in your hands."

"That's right."

Fang Zheng put his hands behind his back and smiled slightly.

"I hope you'll hand it over."

"If you had heard more, you would have known... it's impossible."

The smile on Fang Zheng's face did not change at all, but everyone could hear the rejection in his tone. Upon hearing his answer, the man in the suit snorted coldly.

"Don't be complacent just because you have a little power. This world is much bigger than you think. The Masquerade is looking for the Lost Child of Zero Hour. Although we don't know why those damned Crimson World followers are looking for this treasure, since they are so concerned about it, we must not let them succeed. In the worst case, we will not hesitate to destroy this treasure."

"That's a good point, but it's a pity that this is my property."

Fang Zheng was not moved at all by what the man in the suit said. Seeing Fang Zheng who refused to give in, the faces of the Fire Mist Warriors, led by the man in the suit, became increasingly hostile.

"What do you mean? Do you think that owning this treasure is more important than this world? Do you know how many times we Fire Mist Warriors have saved humanity? If it weren't for us, do you think you can still live this kind of life now?"

"Did I ask you?"

"……What did you say?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the man was stunned, while Fang Zheng smiled coldly.

"Have humans begged you? Have you ever seen any human kneel before you and say, 'Please, save us'? Have they said so? Have you done it? Are you saving the world for humans? I don't think so. Isn't the purpose of your existence, the Fire Mist Warriors, to maintain the balance of the world and to take revenge? Then, do you really care about the life and death of humans?"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes.

"...In other words, if the Red World Devourers devoured pigs, cattle, sheep, and chickens instead of humans, then you are not fighting for humans, but for pigs, cattle, sheep, and chickens. Then, why should humans be grateful for everything you have done? For you, whether they can survive is just a byproduct of your goal. Since you are not fighting for humans, isn't it a bit too lame to come up with this excuse now?"

"...It seems that you have been with the Red World for too long and have lost your human values."

At this moment, the man in the suit had a face as cold as ice that had been there for thousands of years.

"Then don't blame us for being rude."

"Yeah, I won't be polite either."

"boom!!"

As Fang Zheng's words fell, the entire ice field suddenly trembled, and then in front of the man in the suit, the ice surface that was originally as smooth as a mirror suddenly broke. Then, a huge skeleton dragon emerged from it, raised its head high, and stared at the prey in front of it.

That’s right, Fang Zheng generally won’t use his trump card unless it’s absolutely necessary.

And once he releases the seal in a formal battle, there will only be one reason.

Things like killing people and stealing treasures are always mutual.
