Chapter 3240 Go Home

After agreeing on a meeting time and place, Xi Lan and I came to the last meeting of this trip.

Xi Lan's body was wrapped in gauze, but there wasn't much gauze, so he probably didn't suffer many injuries.

But his eyes were not as agile as before.

When he saw me, he didn't say much, just said hello lightly.

Fortunately, Xi Lan is an alcoholic. Driven by alcohol, he finally regained some of his energy, and when he talked to me, he was no longer as perfunctory as a stranger.

"Today's wine tastes good."

Picking up the bowl, Xi Lan took a sip and laughed.

"As long as you like it," I said, "I heard that you have been a little depressed recently. If it's convenient, can you tell me what's going on?"

Xi Lan did not speak, but stared at me. After a moment, he picked up the wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and poured himself another bowl, drank again, poured again, drank again, and drank seven or eight bowls. , he finally put down the wine bowl, let out a long belch, and then said: "I lost."

"Lost?" I asked in confusion: "Lost for what?"

"The agreement with Emily, the operation to assassinate Held."

Xi Lan opened his mouth again, his eyes turned red, and his clenched fists on the table were trembling slightly.

"If you lose, you lose." I shook my head and said, "There's nothing to be sad about. Since you can escape this disaster, you will have a chance to get it back in the future."

"Regain the situation?" Xi Lan suddenly sneered and said in a depressed tone: "It's no longer possible."

"This is not like the Xilan I know." I continued as if I didn't see his depressed eyes. "The Xilan I know is never discouraged by one or two failures. He is optimistic, cheerful, and progressive. , we are full of hope for the future, keep making progress, and keep getting stronger until we achieve our goals.”

Xi Lan stared at the wine bowl blankly. After a moment, he sighed softly: "It's different."

I was stunned when I heard this: "What's different?"

"The situation is different," Xi Lan said: "Those previous assassinations, although I would have failed, at least I could still threaten or even hurt Held. But this time, it is completely different. Held seems to be completely After seeing every move and every move I made, from the very beginning, I never touched Held's body, not even the skirt of her clothes."

At this point, he sighed deeply: "I know, this is Held's way of knowing my moves."

Seeing his increasingly depressed expression, I couldn't help but interrupt: "You can change your routine, can't you?"

Xi Lan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have used this sword technique for tens of millions of years. I remember every move, every style, and even the sound it makes when swinging a sword. It has been deeply rooted in my mind." It’s so deep into my bones that it’s impossible to change it.”

"You can try to change it," I said, "Even if it has become a habit, as long as you have determination and perseverance, you can still change it!"

However, no matter how much I tried to persuade, I couldn't convince Xi Lan.

It seems that this assassination hit him really hard, even to the extent that he lost his fighting spirit.

So I put aside this topic and chatted with him about another purpose of my coming here.

"I'm about to go back, will you come with me?"

Xi Lan put down the wine bowl, thought for a long time, and shook his head: "No, that is no longer my home."

"Where's Alice?"

"I can't fulfill my promise, so I can't face her anymore."

"What should I answer if she asks?"

"Just say that I died fighting the devil."

"Fight the devil to death," I murmured, "This is a pretty good reason, but it's enough to show that you haven't given up on her, right?"

"Huh" Xi Lan breathed out and said with a wry smile: "None of this is important anymore."

"So, this is your final decision, isn't it?"

"Yes." Xi Lan nodded again, this time very slowly and deeply.

a week later.

seaside.

I cast the only magic I am most familiar with and successfully opened the portal.

I will let the Sea Clan pass through first. After all, their numbers are too large. Only if they pass through first can there be no omissions.

Under the command of the current leader of the Sea Tribe, groups of people from the Sea Tribe swarmed in, passed through the portal, and came to the Zephyr Continent.

The portal I set up is near an uninhabited beach in Moonlight City. As long as you pass through the portal and walk a few meters, you can enter the ocean.

I believe that under the command of the current leader of the Sea Tribe, they will soon be able to find Longfoot Lotus's castle.

The current leader of the Sea Tribe, the strange-looking octopus, who was directing his subjects to enter the portal, looked excited as if he was about to meet a fan of his idol.

"I really didn't expect you to be so excited about meeting Lotus."

"Of course," he said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty is a wise king. With his leadership, I believe that the Hai Clan will regain its glory in the near future!"

Seeing his excited expression, I smiled and hit him: "We may be able to regain our glory in terms of numbers, but don't expect too much in terms of status. In the deep sea of ​​the Zephyr Continent, there are countless Bilotes." A more powerful being.”

The current leader of the Sea Tribe was extremely stimulated by my words. After his expression changed several times, he swallowed and said solemnly: "Even if we cannot defeat them, we will still destroy them in terms of numbers!"

"That's right." I patted his tentacles and said with a smile, "Even if it's a dream, you have to make a realistic dream based on the local conditions, so that it can be realized."

The sea tribe shuttled back and forth without stopping, and it took more than two hours before they all finally left.

The current leader of the Sea Clan only thanked me and couldn't wait to get into the portal.

Looking at his hurried back, I chuckled and said, "You are in such a hurry. If you don't know, you would think you were driving."

After that, he turned to the Blue Witch, Tuotuo and Naughty Becky: "Let's go, it's our turn."

The blue witch said "oh" and reluctantly looked away towards the red witch's forest. She took three steps, paused, and then turned back in five steps before entering the portal.

The naughty Becky had nothing to miss. She just made a face in the direction of Held's castle and got in happily.

On the contrary, Tuotuo had a pair of dog eyes full of reluctance, and he couldn't even move his feet even an inch.

I stretched out my hand to pick up Tuo Tuo, touched its head, and comforted me: "When you return to Zephyr Continent, I will find you a companion. I believe you will not be lonely."

However, Tuo Tuo's eyes were still melancholy.

“You also get to meet more friendly people.”

Tuo Tuo is still melancholy.

“And eating tastier meat.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Tuo Tuo jumped out of my arms and dove into the portal.
