The word "four years" kept echoing in Du Ze's mind. He could never imagine that he had only been in there for a short while, but a full four years had passed outside?
What a huge amount of information!
In Du Ze's dazed eyes, Xiu straightened up, and the red on his lips could be clearly seen. Xiu seemed to realize this, and he licked the corner of his mouth, then showed a very sweet smile, like a child eating his favorite candy, revealing a sweet and dark breath.
Du Ze's heart beat violently as he propped up his upper body. He watched Xiu reach out his hand and touch his neck, rubbing it delicately. Du Ze had been touched on the back of his neck by Xiu before, but never before had he felt such a strong sense of uncertainty. He could feel Xiu's fingertips stroking his skin, with a hint of eagerness.
Something is not right... Du Ze swallowed hard, his Adam's apple sliding under Xiu's fingertips. The protagonist now gave him the feeling of a volcano about to erupt, and he was just stuck in the crater - well, if the protagonist of any YY novel waited for his younger brother for four years, his anger bar would definitely explode. But stay calm, didn't the author say that four years passed in a flash - so if you want to explode, go find your bad author who has always been "haha" and has never been surpassed, instead of venting your anger on the innocent readers!
Du Ze felt Xiu's hand around his neck, pressing him close to him. The boy, who was close to him, rested his forehead against his, and said in a soft and sweet voice: "Do you have anything to say?"
I really don’t know why it turned out like this——
"If you don't have any, then listen to me." Xiu's soft voice was full of forbearance. "I have a lot to tell you."
"bump--!!!"
A huge explosion sounded from the west, and a long black smoke rose from the direction of the "Wisdom" Square of the Dwarf Ruins. Old John frowned, and his gentle voice was slightly unhappy: "Someone broke in. Are children nowadays so violent... They are coming."
The sound of different footsteps echoed on the street, getting closer and closer. Du Ze sat up subconsciously and blocked Xiu behind him - the protagonist was now in dwarf form, so it was not convenient to show his face.
The other party moved very quickly and appeared in Du Ze's sight almost instantly. It was a mercenary team, and the one running in the front was a thief with neat short light-colored hair. When the thief saw Du Ze and Old John, he braked suddenly, and a companion behind him almost hit him.
"Hey! Enoch, what are you doing blocking the way?"
The one who complained was a muscular man with a big sword in his hand. On the man's shoulders sat a little girl, who clapped her hands and giggled, "Enoch is an idiot~ an idiot!"
The thief named Enoch turned around unhappily. He pointed at Old John and Duzer in the "Understanding" Square and shouted, "Don't you see someone on the other side!"
Du Ze stared at the group of people. Without having to recall them, their names had already appeared in his mind: the thief Enoch, the warrior Bart, the fire magician Mier, and... Du Ze's heartbeat began to speed up. He stared closely at the figure who slowly walked out. It was a young man with blond hair and blue eyes. He was wearing silver-white armor, had a heroic face, and his eyes were as bright as stars. Du Ze looked at him, and it seemed that a little man in his mind sang the plot of "Half-Blood".
The protagonist joins a mercenary group.
There is a skittish thief named Enoch who always likes to come in first.
There is a little girl named Mier who likes to hum songs. She is a young fire wizard.
There is a big sword warrior named Bart, and everyone knows that he is a good bodyguard of Honey.
They pointed at the Paladin and said to the protagonist, this is our team leader.
His name is Eric.
Paladin Eric.
——Hello, my old enemy!
In YY literature, the old enemy is a very important role. Like the cannon fodder, he is responsible for providing the protagonist with experience, equipment, girls, and younger brothers. However, the biggest difference between the old enemy and the cannon fodder is that the old enemy is a durable product and a disposable product. The cannon fodder can be killed after one appearance, while the old enemy must spend his entire life fighting with the protagonist from beginning to end, and his appearance time may even exceed that of every harem of the protagonist. Therefore, there is a popular saying among the authors of stallion literature: Choose a good old enemy for your protagonist, it is a lifelong thing.
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu also chose a good enemy for his protagonist. First of all, the enemy has the same talent as the protagonist (human race). His light element perception is SS-level, and his light element affinity is SS-level. He has the strength to fight with the protagonist in terms of force; secondly, the enemy has a brilliant and domineering background and identity. He is the Son of God of the Temple of Light, second only to the emperor, and has an ambiguous relationship with Saint Vivian - so no matter from which aspect, the protagonist has a reason and excuse to strangle him. When the protagonist first met the enemy, the Son of God was traveling in the Chaos Continent in secret, and all readers had no idea that this was a destined acquaintance. At that time, readers naively thought that the protagonist had joined a very ordinary mercenary team, and they all said that they were waiting to see how the protagonist would lead the water group into the dwarf ruins dungeon in a domineering manner. In addition, the captain of this mercenary team looked very good, so the protagonist should consider recruiting him. Later, readers learned that Enoch was the direct descendant of the thief king Jack.
Later, readers learned that Mi'er was the granddaughter of the god of law Antonio.
Later, readers learned that Eric was the Holy Son of the Temple of Light.
Later, there was no later.
When Eric was obsessed with his elf friend, Xiu, after learning Eric's identity, directly blocked Eric, and they began to fight with each other for a lifetime.
Du Ze has always had complicated feelings about his nemesis Eric. Yi Ye Zhi Qiu describes Eric like this: blond, sunny, handsome, promising, and a combination of all virtues - doesn't it look very familiar? This is exactly the protagonist before he turned evil! The more beautiful the nemesis is, the more evil the protagonist will be. You did it on purpose, right? Do you really want the readers to cry? I'm really crying for you! QAQ Every time I see the nemesis in "Mixed Blood", Du Ze always thinks with a bloody face: If he hadn't gone to the comment section to find a sense of existence, would the protagonist look like the nemesis? And the author is simply inhuman: in the YY novel "Mixed Blood", the protagonist has been trying to destroy the world, and the nemesis has been trying to stop the protagonist.
The readers were confused.
Damn, who is the protagonist and who is the villain?
The most excited people about this unusual protagonist and nemesis were the ladies. Du Ze's eyes began to shift. Although the people in the doujinshi were not similar to real people, when he thought of the nemesis in the doujinshi panting and calling "Iku~", a stupid and cute person suddenly felt that he could not look directly at the nemesis.
The last person to come out was an elf holding a bow and arrow. Du Ze looked at the creature who was as good-looking as the rumors said, and suddenly felt that the plot god was very dedicated: because the main character was absent, he found another elf to fill the vacancy, recreating the five-member mercenary team in "Half-Blood".
Mi'er sat on Bart's shoulder and saw Du Ze's trimmed flax-colored hair.
"There's a kid over there~" The little girl waved her hands excitedly: "Look, look!"
Eric scanned the field, and when he saw Du Ze, his eyes lit up and he showed a very sunny smile.
"We are the Golden Mercenary Squad, and I am the captain, Eric." Eric put the sword back into the scabbard, indicating that he had no ill intentions. "May I ask who you are?"
Old John didn't say anything, he was waiting for Xiu's instructions; Xiu didn't say anything, he lay silently on Du Ze's back; Du Ze didn't say anything, a certain idiot was suffering from social disorders.
Although Eric was a little surprised to see the Silent Legion, he did not get discouraged. Instead, he took a step towards Du Ze and insisted, "Can you tell me your name?"
This time the scope was directly narrowed down to "you". Du Ze looked at Eric, and thought of Xiu who was blocked by him, and suddenly felt deep admiration in his heart: this kind of vision to discover where the real protagonist is, really worthy of being a good enemy who has been entangled with the protagonist for a lifetime.
A certain silly reader suddenly felt like the Queen Mother who blocked the meeting between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. This was clearly a historic meeting between the protagonist and the nemesis, and it was inappropriate for him to interfere. At this moment, Du Ze felt a lightness on his back, and a pair of hands wrapped around his neck from behind, holding him tightly in his arms.
Xiu held Du Ze in his arms and looked straight at the handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes. "Why should I tell you?"
His voice revealed a strong sense of dissatisfaction, but combined with his fair appearance, it sounded more like a child throwing a tantrum.
The moment they saw Xiu, the mercenary team's eyes widened. Enoch rubbed his eyes, and rubbed them again. "I, I actually saw the legendary dwarf."
"Stupid Enoch! The demons have all appeared, so why is it strange to see a dwarf?" Mi'er's attention was focused on something strange. She held her face in her hands, not wanting to take her eyes off Xiu. "He's so cute~ small, soft, tender~ are all dwarfs so cute~" The little girl patted the strong man's shoulder: "I declare that I'm in love today."
Bart smiled helplessly and said to Honey, "Miss, the dwarf looks younger, but he should be twice your age."
The elf glanced at Xiu and Du Ze, then remained silent as he looked at the flashing ring in his hand.
Eric's expression also flashed with surprise, but despite the hostility from the other side, he still smiled warmly. "I just want to get to know you..."
"We don't want to know you." Xiu interrupted Eric bluntly, his voice revealing a sense of oppression: "Now, you have a quarter of an hour to leave here."
Eric was slightly startled. The flax-haired dwarf in front of him hugged the black-haired young man tightly, like a child who was afraid that others would take away his favorite toy, and tried his best to drive others away from his territory. Before Eric could say anything, Enoch had already rolled up his sleeves. "This dwarf is so annoying. I want to teach him a lesson!"
Under everyone's gaze, Xiu smiled. His eyes curved like crescent moons and his little dimples were unusually sweet.
"Five minutes left, you can die."
******

Xiu took the mercenary certificate from the receptionist. Just as he was about to leave the Mercenary Union, he heard someone shouting behind him.
"Hey! Come here quickly, there's an elf here who has also accepted the quest for the dwarf ruins!" The voice was getting closer and closer. "Wait a minute, elf brother in front!"
Xiu continued to move forward without paying any attention until a thief jumped in front of him. When the thief saw Xiu's cold and handsome face, he was immediately frozen as if he had been petrified. Xiu was about to bypass him when two more people blocked his way. They were a strong man and a little girl, about twelve years old, who was holding her face and looking at Xiu with a bright smile.
"You are so beautiful~ Are all elves so beautiful~" The little girl pulled the corner of the strong man's clothes: "I declare that I am in love today."
The strong man smiled bitterly: "Miss, although the elf is very beautiful, he should be several times your age."
Xiu looked at the group of people expressionlessly. At this time, a young man with blond hair and blue eyes came over. He looked at Xiu who was stopped, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
"I'm very sorry, my teammate was too impulsive." The blond young man's voice was full of apology, and he showed a bright smile to Xiu. "My name is Eric, this is my mercenary team. We are also going to explore the dwarf ruins, are you willing to join us?"
