Xia Zuo lost his composure for only a moment, then quickly came to his senses and looked embarrassedly at the old man in front of him who was obviously frightened by him.
"I... I have something to ask of the gods." Xia Zuo explained vaguely: "I'm sorry, I might have been a little excited just now..."
This reason was somewhat credible. The old man's shocked expression relaxed. He glanced at him, and because he helped carry the branches, he said, "If you want to go to that church, you'd better clean the bloody smell off your body."
After all, he had lived in the wilderness for so long, so his nose was very sharp. But at the same time, he was also very good at judging people. He saw that the stranger in front of him probably had no bad intentions, so he kindly reminded him:
"I heard that the god doesn't appear often. The one who presides over daily affairs in the temple now is a messenger of the god named Mol—she has a pair of wings and hates the smell of blood the most."
Especially the blood on the perpetrator's body.
Xia Zuo blinked and explained, "They chased me, but I didn't kill them."
He has his own judgment on who should be killed and who should not be killed.
Just like the cursed talent holder that he met in the White Elephant District at the beginning, he had a sinister aura that only came from someone who had harmed many people. He did not hesitate at all when he took action.
——But for those who are working for the Federation without knowing the truth, or some gifted holders in the patrol tower who don’t know the truth, Xia Zuo is willing to spare their lives.
Even his friends had died at the hands of the talented people in the patrol tower.
Thinking of this, the brown-haired boy's golden pupils dimmed a little.
He took out two sweaters from his backpack and obtained temporary residence in the old man's shack. He planned to visit the church during the day once he had recovered some strength.
...God?
He sighed imperceptibly.
More haste, less speed. You need to stay calm, Xia Zuo.
He told himself this and then fell into a light sleep.
…
…
"Xia Zuo's speed is faster than I expected."
The black-haired boy in the dark room of the church suddenly whispered to himself.
Since he had fully unlocked the qualifications and bloodline of the agent, Xizel was able to sense the approximate location of another priest when he was nearby, and naturally discovered Xia Zuo's arrival.
Since Xia Zuo has already arrived in the wasteland, he should be able to find us soon.
After all, the church in the wilderness has now become a landmark building, not to mention the legend of the god. Almost everyone in the wilderness knows about his various "miracles".
Based on his understanding of Xia Zuo, the other party would definitely come and take a look.
"The comics have been updated, do you want to check it out?"
The voice of the comic will appeared in his mind.
"Of course." Xizel casually opened a book and called up the comic platform.
…
…
The comic continues the story where Xia Zuo and Ursula part ways and prepare to leave for the fringe area.
During his escape, he also met a gifted person who used to be a high-ranking official in the Patrol Tower, but is now in a state of defection and retreat, and is both good and evil.
The other party stopped the pursuit for him and told him that the person with the predictive talent in the patrol tower had paid a huge price to find him. For at least three years, he could not inquire about Xia Zuo's information at will.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he must become stronger quickly.
Because this new uncle-type character is mature and reliable, he even accumulated some fans.
After learning some fighting skills from him, Xia Zuo continued to rush northwest at a very fast speed, but stopped when passing by the Gray Moon District.
In the comic, a young man wearing a thick scarf and a hood came quietly to the house where he had temporarily rested, and silently stroked the sweater he had knitted with his own hands.
He did not speak, but took a few steps back and looked at it from an outsider's perspective.
In the comic, two teenagers with very low saturation appear in the room. One of them is sitting quietly on a chair reading a book with a pile of big books next to him, and the other is knitting a sweater with a silly smile on his face.
Xia Zuo blinked.
…The scene before my eyes shattered like a mirage, leaving only a cold and lifeless object.
[Thank you for the invitation, I swallowed the knife tremblingly]
[Wow, this wave of memories is killing me! ! ]
[It feels like everything has really changed along the way. I was so happy before... (covering my chest)]
[It’s been n days since the trio last met, I miss them quq]
[After Xizel died, Xia Zuo was silent for a long time.]
[Now that I think about it, Xi Ze's death is inevitable. It is related to the subsequent arrangements. One is the adjustment of the main line and the introduction of the subsequent plot. The other is the character arc of the protagonist Xia Zuo. ]
[I agree. He is no longer a simple reckless man. He has begun to learn to use his brain.]
[I would rather he didn't grow up... Whoever wants this kind of growth can do so, give my Ze Shen back to me!!]
The barrage was caught off guard and wailed, and Zetui was the worst hit. Every time they opened the comics, they would remember the scene where Xizel died in front of Xia Zuo.
But if you don't watch it, you may not be able to unlock some precious memories of Ze Shen and his companions in the past...
Zetui: Gritting teeth and getting hurt.jpg
Xia Zuo's journey was not peaceful, but fortunately he arrived at the deserted area alive, and a new chapter began.
At the end of the comic, a new force - or rather, character - is introduced.
——After Xia Zuo fell asleep, the camera turned and came to a place that looked like a flower garden.
This place is so beautiful that from the corner shots, you can glimpse the full vitality and holy tranquility.
At the same time, a dialog box appears in the comic:
"Your Majesty."
The next frame shows a half-figure wearing a platinum priest's hood. It seems that he heard the noise and turned his head slightly, revealing his extremely delicate chin and neck, as well as long platinum earrings that were probably earrings.
The orchid and the jade tree are not stained by dust.
…
[…Fuck, who is this beauty? ? ]
[There is only one chin, who knows if she is a beauty...beauty, look at me, look at me!! My wife died and I don’t have a wife now!!]
[The one above? ? This slap was given on behalf of Ze Shen]
[Come to think of it, this storyboard seems to be related to Ze Shen...]
[Ahhh, it's a new character! She looks so holy, maybe she's a healing character!]
[Your Majesty...awsl]
Obviously, introducing a new character at the last moment of the comic had a very good effect. Most readers remembered him immediately, and even the popularity on the forum increased.
【Main Building: About New Characters】
[Isn’t he that Mor? The old man said that Mor is in charge of the church. He really has a priestly air.]
[1l: But Mol has big wings, and he doesn’t]
[2l: I don’t care about that anymore. Based on my years of experience reading comics, 99.9% of the characters who hide their faces and refuse to show their true colors are really beauties!!]
[3l: When I saw the memory killing, I thought: After Ze Shen died, my heart was taken away with him. Maybe I will never feel sad or happy again in this life.]
【4l: Then I saw a new character: Great! ! My wife is so cute! ! 】
【5l: I am dying of laughter. The above is too real!!】
[Main post: Reasonable guess, what is the blood relationship between the new character and Ze Shen]
[As the title says, I compared the scenes of the new character in this episode carefully and found that they are very similar to the one of Ze Shen before. It is very likely that the author is hinting at something. And he is very likely a priest. You know, there are only two families with priests - one is Crest and the other is Freiman. Xia Zuo already has the qualifications of a priest. So can we assume that this new character is the agent of the Crest family? ]
[1l: ! ! This is really possible, but if this is the case, I suspect this new character is a villain]
[2l: I suspect he is a villain +1. I think this kind of sacred character is pretending_(:з」∠)_ Especially since he might be a relative of Ze Shen and has a good impression with Xia Zuo, it would be too easy for him to do anything.]
[3l: But don’t forget, Xia Zuo is no longer the same as before. I feel his reasoning and judgment abilities are improving.]
[4l: This is another important meaning of Ze Shen’s death ()]
【5l: ... Damn, you old thief have no heart!!】
[6l: So, I am just a tool to promote the love-hate relationship between Xia Zuo and the new character... What kind of ridiculous plot is this from ten years ago?]
[7l: I am a local dog and I love to watch]
[I saw someone in front guessing that the new character is the villain, I bet a bag of spicy noodles, I bet on the protagonist group]
[Main post: Now only Xia Bao is fighting alone, the character who appears at this time must be very important, and his appearance is so beautiful and he is a god (possibly), he is simply a teammate chosen by God! ]
【1l: Press one】
【2l: I’ll come too, put in a ward】
[3l: It seems that you all like him very much. Let me remind you to be prepared for his sudden death (Devil's Whisper)]
[4l: Are you a devil upstairs...tears in my eyes]
[5l: Haha, I no longer trust any comic book author (dementia)]
After collecting the information he wanted from the comics, Xizel was casually browsing the comic forum: "."
This is really not the comic author's fault.
Cesar calmly continued to flip through the pages.
He didn't expect that he would have a small shot, and in such an important position at the end of this episode, but considering that he would appear next, this arrangement of the comics was reasonable.
The effect was very significant. After at least five minutes, the lamp above his head actually stopped shaking on its own. According to the previous practice, it would have fallen off at any minute.
After reading what he wanted to read, Cesar closed the book.
The comments were right, Xia Zuo had indeed changed a lot, but he was still that kind and sincere boy. This could be seen from the fact that he was still willing to show mercy to those people in the Patrol Tower, and he did not vent his anger on the death of his best friend.
The comic will was already choking up: "What a good child, wuwuwuwu, you Kangkang, you did a good thing!"
Cesar: “…”
He raised his eyebrows slightly, chuckled, with no emotion in his eyes, and said slowly:
"He will come here tomorrow to ask for the resurrection of Cecil Crest."
The black-haired boy drew out his voice, with a slight rise at the end.
"——Tell me, should I agree?"
