Chapter 51: Farewell

  Chapter Fifty-One: Parting Ways

  This knight looked to be about thirty years old, with a clear facial outline, fair skin, and a handsome appearance. He had carefully trimmed whiskers on his upper lip. As soon as he saw the poor insect, his eyes lit up, and he let out a cheer, jumping down from his horse.

  He dismounted with a lithe and nimble movement, advancing as if to stretch out his arms and clasp the wretched insect in an embrace. But the wretched insect puckered up its mouth and smiled, pointing at the armor of the other: "Uncle Chip, are you trying to strangle me?"

  The knight heard this and suddenly smiled, put down his arms, pulled up the poor worm's hand to his mouth and slightly hinted at it, made a hand-kissing gesture, and then laughed: "You're calling me uncle again, my heart is going to break! The gods are witness, I am one of the most eligible bachelors in Osgilia!"

  This guy's tone of speech is exactly that of a standard aristocratic birth, and his pronunciation is also the official language of the southern Byzantine Empire.

  Xia Ya, who was standing next to him, felt a chill run down his spine as he watched. He couldn't help but think that this knight looked somewhat effeminate, and according to the aesthetics of the common folk, Chip was directly classified as an ugly freak.

  The wretched insect and the knight named Chip whispered a few words, Chip's face suddenly changed color, took big strides to walk over, saw that the ground was full of Dark Night Forest Knights' corpses and wounded, his face changed drastically. When he saw Shim sitting on the ground, Chip's eyes spewed out flames of anger: "Shim, it's really you who led the team here! Do you know this is outright murder!!"

  Xim smiled coldly: "Is it your first day knowing us, the Dark Night Wood? You don't need to say these words to me. If you really have the guts, you should save them for the person who gives us orders. But, respected Chip Knight, do you dare?"

  Chip's face changed suddenly, and he hummed a sound. He narrowed his eyes to look at Him, took a step forward, drew out his own sword, and stabbed it into Him's heart!

  The poor insect jumped in fright, unable to help but cover its mouth and let out a sharp cry. However, it was Shim himself who seemed not to be surprised at all, only a deep sense of mockery flashing in his eyes before he closed them and died.

  With a "whoosh", fresh blood splattered out from the sword's edge, but Chip remained calm and collected, taking out a silk handkerchief from his horse's saddle to wipe off the blood on the sword's edge. He then gave an order: "Take a look around, anyone who is still alive from the Nightshade Forest Guard will be finished off with one more slash! Bury the corpses in graves dug right here."

  Just as this effeminate man surprisingly said that killing someone is just killing, extremely ruthless, Xia Ya couldn't help but have a bit of admiration for him.

  Noticing Xia Ya's gaze, Qi Pu turned his head and glared at Xia Ya for two seconds before looking away, pulling Xiao Chong far away to the side: "Actually, I didn't come to find you on your brother's orders."

  "Oh? Then you are......"

  Chip sighed: "I received two orders to bring you back alive. One is from your brother, and the other one is from your uncle."

  The poor insect's face changed, and he immediately became disbelieving: "My uncle? He wants you to bring me back alive? How is that possible, when it was he who ordered those dark night guards to kill me..."

  "Things are different now." Chip's face was calm: "The new order was sent to me eight days ago. Your uncle no longer wants you dead, but will instead go out of his way to protect you!"

  "Why..." The poor insect frowned.

  "Can't you guess?" Chip sneered: "The reason is simple - war has begun!"

  "War? Who and who?"

  "We're with Odin!" Chip exclaimed: "I came by way of Wildfire Town, and now Wildfire Town has been taken over by our troops. From Wildfire Town south for a hundred miles, it's all under military jurisdiction."

  The poor insect's expression became extremely complicated. Chip looked at her for a moment, then turned to look at Xia Ya: "Who is that guy?"

  Xia Ya originally stood there with his hands down, and the cavalry beside him walked back and forth, transporting the corpses on the ground. Occasionally, a few Dark Night Lin Knights who were not yet dead would be supplemented with a sword.

  These people were busy back and forth, and no one looked at Xia Ya. On the contrary, Duoduo's eyes watched these guys with a strong killing intent, his heart beating drums, and he couldn't help but move closer to Xia Ya.

  At last, after all the bodies were moved together, looking at those killed Darknight Knights, the neat and sharp cuts on their bodies, these experienced cavalrymen were moved. They weren't ones who hadn't killed people or shed blood either, one glance and they could tell that such injuries wouldn't be easily inflicted!

  The eyes of these people looking at Xia Ya had a hint of reverence.

  After all... Xia Ya's party only had three people. Kechiru and Dororo didn't look like they could fight at all. And so, the entire Dark Night Forest was probably cleared by Xia Ya alone.

  If one person can take down a team of Dark Night Woodsmen, including a mid-tier warrior's Knight Captain, then Xia Ya is absolutely not a weakling.

  Someone immediately informed Chip of the news, and after hearing it, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes as he looked at Shaya with even more interest.

  He and Poor Bug talked in hushed tones for a while, Poor Bug's attitude seemed very determined at first, shaking his head all the time. However, after Chip said a few words, Poor Bug gradually softened up, hesitated for a moment, nodded hard to agree, then the two of them said a few more words, Poor Bug smiled and then burst into tears, finally Chip let out a sigh, patted Poor Bug on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

  Xia Ya looked from afar with curiosity, not knowing what had happened to the poor worm.

  But now it seems that this poor guy's background is not ordinary at all...

  Just as she was thinking, she noticed that the poor worm was coming and going towards her. From a distance, she saw that her eyes were filled with tears, and her expression was sorrowful.

  Xia Ya had a faintly uncomfortable feeling in his heart, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. All he knew was that seeing Kechen like this made him uneasy. Just as he was about to walk over, a smiling voice came from beside him.

  "Excuse me, Mr. Shaya." Chip stood in front of Shaya with a smile on his face, blocking Shaya's gaze at the poor insect: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Chip... Ah... I'm Ed's relative. Oh, Ed, that's him, thanks for saving his life."

  Chipp smiled as he looked at Shaya, thinking: If what Edlin said was true, this guy must be the number one blind person in the world, actually taking Edlin for a man...

  "No need to thank me..." Xia Ya waved his hand in a generous manner, but the next sentence revealed his true intentions: "Flattery is worthless. I think you guys are quite well-off, if you want to show gratitude, something like gold or jewels would be acceptable."

  Chip was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and took out a small leather pouch. He shook it lightly, and immediately the sound of clinking gold coins filled the air - the kind that Xia Ya loved the most!

  "I didn't bring much money with me when I went out, there are two hundred gold coins here, which is a small reward." Chip threw the leather bag to Xia Ya, Xia Ya's face lit up and he quickly put it in his pocket, laughing: "Good, good! In fact, the poor guy eats little, drinks little, except for being lazy, it's quite easy to support him."

  Chip listened with a sense of discontent and slight disappointment: originally, he thought this guy was capable of taking down a small team of Dark Night Woodsmen alone, such a young and outstanding master, quite valuable to recruit. But now looking at this guy's boorishness, recruitment is no longer necessary. The imperial capital of Osgilia has many masters, one more or less doesn't make a difference, this guy being so boorish, probably can't enter the eyes of the Crown Prince.

  He lost interest in Xia Ya and looked at Duoduo again: "Who is this?"

  "Respected Chip-sama, it's an honor to stand before the glorious 'Silver Flash Swordsman'. I'm a magician, so please just call me Dororo."

  Chip was slightly taken aback, looking at the shabby guy with some surprise. The appearance of Dororo made Chip, a noble-born, feel somewhat disgusted. He scanned him briefly before withdrawing his gaze: "Huh, so you're a respected magician, sir? You actually know me?"

  "In Osgelia, who doesn't know the name of Silver Swordswoman?" Doro smiled humbly, but unfortunately, his smile made Chip's stomach turn with its sly gaze.

  However, for the magician, Chip still showed enough respect: "Please forgive my rudeness, I didn't notice your identity earlier, and there was no badge on your robe... otherwise I would have come to pay my respects earlier. Respected magician, may I ask how should I address you? Forgive my rudeness... Your name seems familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before..."

  Duoduo's face suddenly became somewhat awkward, and he dryly chuckled twice: "This... I'm a low-ranking first-class earth-system magician. That badge... the badge... is temporarily lost."

  First grade

  Chip was disappointed in his heart, and then there was no value in recruiting him.

  Barbarian?

  He suddenly had a thought, and he remembered the name of Dororo. It was indeed someone he had heard of! Some time ago, there were rumors that in Osgelia, a magician who went bankrupt due to debt had fled far away... It was simply a loss of face for the Magician's Guild, and at one point, many people in the Imperial City were talking about this person who had created an unprecedented precedent in the history of magic.

  Is it really this person in front of me?

  When all magicians can go bankrupt, this one in front of me is really a talent!

  These two guys, one has some real power but is too crude, the other has little power and has become a joke in the imperial capital. Neither of them is worth recruiting, Chip quickly lost interest and made an excuse to leave.

  At this time, the poor worm finally came up.

  Her eyes were red, just like she had cried recently.

  "Hey, Xia Ya." The poor worm stood in front of Xia Ya, with a tinge of sadness in his voice: "I... I won't be able to go with you."

  "Hmm... Ah?" Xia Ya looked at Keliwu: "Huh, are you going back with this relative of yours?"

  "Yes... I, I have to go back." The poor worm sighed faintly, with a sorrowful expression: "Actually, I really wanted to follow you, but I must go back."

  She paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and with great effort, held back her tears as she looked at Xia Ya. She said softly: "This time I came out, I originally planned to cross the Wildfire Plains to escape to Audin, but I didn't expect to run into you... This time I was able to meet you, it's really my good fortune. Xia Ya... I'm leaving now, don't you forget about me."

  Xia Ya looked at Keliang Chong's eyes, which were filled with tears again, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. He sighed, patted Keliang Chong on the shoulder.

  He lifted his head, and his eyes gazed at the poor insect with an unprecedented clarity, filled with a sincere flavor. Such eye movements made the poor insect's heart beat involuntarily. Did he... did he figure it out? Was he going to say something to me?

  (Actually, I've known all along that you're a beautiful girl.)

  Don't worry, I will work hard and make a name for myself, and one day I will definitely come find you!

  Wait for me, one day I will wear a suit of five-colored armor and step on the seven-colored auspicious cloud to come and get you!

  I will definitely work hard and become a legendary hero, at that time, when I can match you, I will definitely go find you!

  Beautiful princess, I'd walk through thorns for you...

  There was a true love in front of me, I didn't cherish it, and only regretted it after losing it...

  The poor worm's heart was racing with chaotic thoughts, and his brain was filled with all sorts of wild ideas. For a moment, countless romantic scenes flashed through his mind...

  Finally, Xia Ya spoke up.

  He sighed softly, gazing deeply at the poor insect, speaking in a low and gentle tone:

  "Hey, after you get back, don't forget to put in a gold tooth."

  Poor insect: "………"
