Chapter 221 Xi's Gift of Painting
"In the era when Tikaz was just born and the gods and people had not yet come, the "I" of the past walked on the earth as an agent of a certain existence."
"When the gods and their ancestors led the people to fight the Tikaz in a war that lasted for a thousand years, I fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up again, everything had changed dramatically."
"I can't remember much about the past." Roy picked up the wine glass and shook it, then put it to his nose and sniffed it tentatively, then drank the rice wine in the glass.
The taste of rice wine has a hint of sweetness, the alcohol concentration is not high, and it goes down the throat smoothly, which is very suitable for people like Roy who can't drink much.
"Do you still remember the origin of the sword in Mr. Roy's hand?" The eldest brother clenched his right hand in the air, and the wine jug automatically flew above the empty wine glass and filled it again.
"It's a gift from someone else, an ancient Tikkaz inherited weapon." Ling stood up again to fill Roy's glass. This time he chose to savor the mellow and sweet taste of the rice wine.
Xi, who was sitting on Roy's left, noticed that this man used the same wine tasting method as himself, and kept his eyes on him for a few more seconds.
"It tastes good. Sister Shu spent a lot of time brewing this." Xi held the wine glass with both hands and drank it in small sips like a hamster. The alcohol was in her head and her cheeks were slightly red.
"Oh... a inherited weapon? The body of the god is melted into it. It is indestructible and extremely sharp. It is really a good sword." The eldest brother praised loudly while tasting the wine.
"Mr. Shuo also used the same method, didn't he? Your sword is not simple either."
"Mr. Roy really knows a lot." Seeing Roy revealing his past on the spot, the eldest brother put down the cup and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Mr. Shuo, you are too kind. I know that you, as fragments of the Year Beast, have awakened from that chaos and are seeking yourselves in the world in your own way."
"Is there any sign of the beast showing signs of recovery now? That's why you're so anxious to find a way to escape from it."
"What does the future look like to you, sir?"
"The secret cannot be revealed..." Roy stroked his non-existent beard, acting like a hermit.
"Sir, you really have a sense of humor. Just as you guessed, we really don't want to go back to that chaos, so we would like to seek your help." The eldest brother clasped his hands together, bowed and said respectfully.
"If I help you escape from the Year Beast, are you brothers and sisters willing to work for Kazdel?" Roy looked around at the people present and asked in a deep voice.
"Mr. Roy should know that even if we are willing, Da Yan will not let us go easily. While we are serving the court, we are also under the surveillance and vigilance of the Simatai."
Ling Shatuo smiled, swung a gourd with his tail, and tilted his head back to drink.
"That's why I don't want to work for the court anymore. I drink and write poetry every day, living a carefree life in the world, so happy..." Ling's figure was erratic, and in the blink of an eye he was next to Xi, recommending his strong liquor to her.
Xi had to give in under the pressure of her sister. She didn't like strong liquor, so she casually called for Nian's cup and filled it for her.
"So you are rejecting this deal?"
"No, I'm worried that you and Kazdel will be targeted and suppressed by Da Yan. The court is not as peaceful and reasonable as it seems."
The eldest brother knew very well how deep the water was within the imperial court. Even Yumen, a frontier fortress far away from the capital, could not escape the intrigues of politicians.
"Mr. Shuo, don't worry too much. I only said I would help you brothers and sisters escape from the Sui Beast. I didn't say I would help Dayan solve the Sui Beast's revival. If necessary, I can even give you a hand."
"When Da Yan used the whole country's strength to fight against the resurrection of the Year Beast, it was the most vulnerable moment. Ursus has been craving war to ease domestic conflicts. The True Dragon would not want to go to war with other countries at that time."
“And those gods who were once expelled by Da Yan, seeing that Da Yan is weak, will they take the opportunity to make a comeback?”
"In the face of internal and external troubles, what Da Yan needs is to maintain stability, not to go to war."
Roy told a few people his thoughts. In fact, if Da Yan did not attack head-on, but played some shady tricks behind the scenes, he could also send Da Yan a few new source stone veins.
As we all know, after a large-scale natural disaster, source stone veins will be left on the earth.
"Since you have made preparations, Shuo is relieved. I am willing to serve you in exchange for the opportunity to escape from the Sui Beast."
"I'm already working for you." Nian was still as nonchalant as ever, grinning.
"If you want to drink that day, you can find me. I will accompany you to get drunk and have a thousand-year dream." Ling placed her portable wine gourd in front of Roy. This was once her most precious thing.
"I only know how to paint. If you want, I can give you one." Xi took out his own work from the free space. It was a blank canvas.
"?" Roy took the blank canvas with a confused look on his face, not understanding what Xi meant.
"As long as you hold it in your hands and think silently, the picture you want in your heart will appear on the canvas." Xi looked at Roy and explained.
"Then I'll try." Roy began to think about the computer wallpaper he had used for two years.
Xi knelt in front of the desk, her long black hair draped over her back. The surrounding bookshelves and the floor were filled with scrolls and books, and white curtains hung from the ceiling.
Xi, who is painting in the painting, turns back to look at the people admiring the painting outside the painting, with an unclear expression on her face.
"Wow... Roy has a good imagination." Nian came over at some point and put his big red flowered arm on Roy's shoulder.
"My sister is so beautiful that she can make fishes sink to the depths and geese fall to the ground, and the moon and flowers blush ashamed. How have you considered the matter I mentioned to you before?"
"Not very good. This kind of thing requires mutual consent. If you're in a hurry, do it yourself." Roy rolled his eyes at Nian and put the scroll away.
"I can do it too. I am confident in myself." Nian said casually. Roy didn't know what she was thinking.
"Let's talk about it later. Ling, please take me back." Roy broke free from Nian's arm and walked into the mist on his own initiative.
"Okay, we'll see each other again soon." The mist enveloped Roy, and the breeze blew, and the hazy figure disappeared.
"Nian, what do you mean by what you just said? What did you say to him?" Xi guessed something from the conversation between Nian and Roy, and asked angrily.
"Hey, I asked him if he wanted to find a wife..."
"Nian! I'm going to kill you!!!" Xi's hair fluttered in anger, and he waved the sword in his hand, chasing Nian and slashing at him.
Brother Linghe looked at the two people chasing and playing with a doting look and poured himself a glass of wine.
