Chapter 913 Reencounter with an Old Friend, Member of the Paladin Team.
Two days passed in a hurry.
In a small border town in the sea, a young man in black robes sits cross-legged atop a clock tower.
A faint halo surrounded his body, and when he breathed, white smoke condensed into a dragon.
"It's been so long, why is Master still like a block of wood?"
Xiao Hei sat on the edge of the river, swinging his legs, holding his face and looking down at the city. When he was bored, he would put spirit stones in his mouth and chew them.
A gentle breeze ruffled my hair, bringing with it a touch of late autumn chill.
"Why travel thousands of miles across the sea to this wretched place? It's inexplicable."
"Speaking of which, the master's sisters haven't finished yet? Why is there such a big difference?"
"If we calculate the time flow, it should be more than half a year. When my master passed on the technique to me, it was only a snap of the fingers."
Little Black looked up at the sky.
A voice sounded from behind: "The initiation they received."
"By fusing with a remnant soul, not only will its lifelong learning be enhanced, but its aptitude, constitution, and even its physical strength will also be improved. Of course, it will be different from yours."
"When Mom, Dad, and my sisters come out of quarantine, watch out, they'll dazzle your eyes!"
Xiao Hei suddenly turned around and saw Wang Xiaoke open her eyes, so she quickly got up and said.
"Finally awake."
"This is Fournier, the westernmost city in the United States."
Wang Xiaoke patted his head and smiled. He knew this place well; it was more than 3,000 miles from the Holy See and separated by fourteen city-states.
At his speed, he can definitely arrive before dark.
"There's no time to lose." Wang Xiaoke picked up Xiao Hei and leaped into the sky: "Golden Crow!"
A flash of cold light disappeared in an instant, and he had already landed steadily on the flying sword.
The three-foot-long sword resonated excitedly, becoming increasingly sentient...
Little Black quickly transformed back into a dog and nestled on Wang Xiaoke's shoulder.
"let's go!"
……
Country M has a vast territory, and unlike Country E, its black soil region makes it a truly first-class country.
Especially in military technology, it is an absolute behemoth!
The Holy See, as the most revered and worshipped force in the land, has tens of millions of secular believers and its power is immense!
The main palace was located in the holy city, and the religion occupied an entire city-state.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Vatican controls the lifeline and power of the United States.
Monks interfering in politics.
If this happened in China, not only would the association and the Mohist school object, but the reclusive sects would probably all stand up and condemn it.
So.
Two thousand years ago, the Church of Light appeared in the world, only to be forced overseas by the Mohists…
As dusk approaches, the lights of Olympic City illuminate the city, bringing a vibrant energy to this bustling western metropolis.
Wang Xiaoke strolled through the square, enjoying the scenery with great interest.
"Olin City is the closest city to Santoria."
"Tsk~"
"Even the small town at the foot of the Holy See is so prosperous."
A towering statue of the Goddess of Light stands in the square, solemn and magnificent.
"Interesting." Wang Xiaoke glanced at it and found that the statue contained a wisp of spiritual power that gave ordinary people an insurmountable sense of oppression.
"This old woman is quite good at making herself look virtuous."
Santorini is under lockdown year-round, making it a pilgrimage site.
At this moment, many tourists and believers are chanting prayers beside the statue.
"really."
Xiao Hei whispered in his ear, "You can also pretend to be a ghost."
"If you erect a sculpture in Kyoto or Kosei, I guarantee I'll be the first one to offer incense to you."
"Begging for a beating!"
"Do I have such a thick skin?"
If it weren't for the large number of people nearby, he would have provided Xiao Hei with a full range of services.
On the street, Wang Xiaoke's clothes did attract a lot of attention, after all, it is quite rare to see Chinese clothes with a touch of ancient style on the streets of a foreign country.
However, what attracts more attention is his otherworldly temperament and appearance.
Her skin was delicate, her features exquisite, and her pair of gentle, captivating peach blossom eyes were particularly enchanting.
The handsome young man, dressed in bright clothes, immediately captured the hearts of many young women.
Some people were pointing at a person and a dog while speaking in Y language.
Wang Xiaoke naturally understood, but he was too lazy to pay attention. He only planned to stop briefly in a corner of the street and then venture into Santorini again that night…
Soon, Wang Xiaoke led Xiao Hei to a bustling shopping street. The surrounding area was full of tall buildings, orderly and well-organized. Occasionally, they would encounter strangely dressed believers of light.
There were even knights with swords slung across their shoulders, riding white horses and patrolling the streets.
Although Olin City is not large, thanks to the influence of the Papacy, it has become a popular tourist destination, bustling with visitors. If it weren't for the regional markers, no one would believe that this is just a small city-state.
A person and a dog stopped at the entrance of the mall, which is a well-known international chain mall.
"Oh~"
Little Black stretched out its little paws, its mouth contorting into a bizarre, dragon-king-like grin.
"FD streetwear brand, the third sister's clothing brand has really spread far and wide."
Wang Xiaoke glanced at the signboard out of the corner of his eye; it was indeed Wang Yingying's chain store.
"Mm." Wang Xiaoke nodded gently, just as she was about to leave.
Suddenly I heard a voice speaking Chinese, which sounded strangely familiar.
"Just a few pieces of clothing, and it cost three thousand US dollars!"
"How about we look around some more?"
"My dear Miss Xi, prices are already high here. We've finally managed to travel abroad, so let's not be so stingy!"
Inside the brand store, two pretty women were selecting clothes.
Shenxi looked at the price tag with a troubled expression; the price was quite daunting.
"Beautiful lady," the blond saleswoman complimented, "You have excellent taste! This dress is a masterpiece by Master Sorrento, and it suits you perfectly!"
"The price may be a bit higher, but consider the fabric, stitching, and design."
"Please forgive me, Miss."
Shen Xi choked, hesitating whether to pay, when the gentlemanly-looking man who had been following behind them said gently:
"Shen! This outfit is beautiful. Please let me pay for it for you."
The man didn't have a Chinese face; he had very fair skin, wore a gold watch on his wrist, and took out a bank card from his pocket, handing it to the shop assistant.
"No...no need, thank you."
Shen Xi chuckled twice and quickly stuffed the card into the clerk's arms.
Liu Meng smiled and put her arm around her: "Really, you don't have many decent clothes. A woman should always learn to dress herself up."
"Otherwise, it would be a waste of Miss Xi's beautiful face."
Shen Xi rolled her eyes and slapped away the hand that was around her.
"I can't come back for more than half the year, how many days can I wear even the prettiest clothes?"
"You really are something, spending 20,000 RMB on a single outfit."
As soon as the two women walked out of the store, the handsome man followed them, carrying shopping bags.
Shen Xi's gaze inadvertently fell on a young man through the glass.
When she saw the man's face clearly, her feet felt like they were nailed to the ground.
froze in place.
"Shenxi?" Liu Meng asked, slightly puzzled. "What are you spacing out about?"
The man behind frowned and glanced out the glass window at the smiling young man with a white puppy perched on his shoulder.
"Shen."
"You know him?"
Shen Xi felt like she was dreaming, her beautiful eyes wide open.
She never expected to meet Wang Xiaoke in a foreign country.
"Woqu!"
Liu Meng saw it too and quickly waved her hand: "It's Xiao Ke!"
"You've run into that cheap younger brother you picked up before?"
"Wang Xiaoke".
Shen Xi murmured unconsciously, her slightly reddened eyes filled with a complex emotion.
Since their parting in the northern city, the boy she brought back from Antarctica has transformed into the young master of the Wang family and, moreover, the fiancé of the Phoenix Lord.
Two and a half years later.
We met again.
Wang Xiaoke stared at the two of them, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes as well.
When Liu Meng dragged Shen Xi over, he asked with a smile.
"Why are you here?"
He was filled with emotion; this was the United States, after all, and he never expected to run into an old friend.
Shen Xi met his gaze, and for some reason, her heart, which had been silent for so long, began to pound.
“We’re here for tourism.” Liu Meng has always been a generous person.
She leaned closer and said, "Shenxi Research Station is on holiday, so we came to take a stroll and catch a glimpse of the Holy City. I heard that it's blessed by the gods."
Wang Xiaoke looked at Shen Xi: "Oh, what a coincidence."
"I didn't have a chance to thank you last time, Sister Shen. It's been a long time!"
When I was stranded in the Arctic, it was the other party who sent me back to my country.
"Hmm...long time no see." Shen Xi nodded, her voice soft.
But her expression couldn't hide her surprise, and her skin flushed.
Wang Xiaoke smiled.
Just then, the refined-looking man behind the two women slowly stepped forward.
She was probably around thirty years old, had a rather aristocratic air about her, and was dressed quite exquisitely. Her height of 1.9 meters was also quite noticeable in a crowd.
"Hello, are you perhaps Chinese? A friend of Miss Shen?"
Wang Xiaoke smiled and nodded, but Xiao Hei on his shoulder looked suspicious.
A person with superpowers.
It's been a long time since I've seen him like this. How come he's hanging out with two ordinary people?
