Chapter 326 The Walking Dead, Three Steps with White Heads
Southern Fire Empire. The bank of Canglan River.
Canglan River is the largest river in the Southern Fire Empire. It is also the top three rivers in the entire Five Elements Continent of Light. It can be said that it is the real mother river of the Southern Fire Empire. It runs through almost the entire territory of the Southern Fire Empire from west to east. The river water is clear and surging, nurturing generations of Southern Fire people.
The Southern Fire Empire attached great importance to the Canglan River. Many military camps were stationed near the Canglan River to protect this mother river. Anyone who dared to pollute the river water would be severely punished.
This is the middle reaches of the Canglan River, and also the central and southern part of the Southern Fire Empire. On a large rock by the river, there was a man sitting there. He was already filled with wine bottles. In his hand, he was still holding a bottle of the strongest Watga and was pouring it into his mouth.
This person looks ragged. Judging from his back, he looks extremely decadent. Although he is tall, sitting there gives people a feeling of being in a twilight years.
The messy hair is white and matte white, giving people a feeling of silence. Only the elderly who are about to reach the end of their lives should have such hair, but how many elderly people will drink like him?
If anyone could see his face, he would be very surprised. The messy white hair covered it with an extremely young face. Although his beard was unshaven, his face could not be as old as thirty. However, he had unimaginable eyes.
What kind of eyes are that! It is empty and without any vitality. This kind of eyes that only dead people have appeared on this young man who is not old but has white hair. It can be said to be a wonder. As long as anyone approaches him within ten meters, he can immediately feel the deadly breath of his body. It is an aura that is enough to make anyone feel extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, although many passers-by will look at him because of this person, no one will approach him.
The hot Wotega went down his throat, and the hot feeling spread throughout every corner of his body again. Bang, the empty wine bottle was thrown aside, and he opened another bottle that was already ready to be around him. Only the paralysis effect brought by alcohol can make him temporarily forget the pain.
He is Ji Dong, the one with ragged clothes and white hair is Ji Dong.
Half a year has passed, and he has spent this confused and confused. That day, when he woke up again, his whole heart was empty. Lieyan's death had a great blow to him, and took away everything in his heart. What else could there be? If it weren't for Lieyan's last wish, he would have followed her without hesitation.
Pain kept gnawing at his heart. When he sold the first step, his black hair had lost its luster. Taking the second step, the black hair had turned gray. When he took the third step, it seemed as if all the vitality had left him at that moment, and the vitality in his body was silent. What he brought was the dull white hair in front of him.
Three steps of white hair, walking corpse. These eight words are used to describe Ji Dong's condition in the past six months. He didn't even know where he was and would not think about anything. His Suzaku bracelet was still there, and he had no money on his body. In that extreme pain, he thought of wine. So, in a forest that was not very dense, he broke up a few monsters and exchanged crystal cores for some gold coins and bought all the wine.
It has been half a year, and he has eaten or drunk anything except wine. If his body hadn't been able to absorb the fire elements in the air on its own, he would have become a useless person even if he was not dead.
Ji Dong, in his previous life, attached great importance to his taste, because he is not only a top bartender, but also a top wine taster. Taste deterioration will have a great impact on his bartender and wine tasting.
However, the current God of Baccarat has no self-discipline and worry at all. Only by placing love in wine and numbing himself with alcohol can his pain be slightly reduced. Without the flames, no thoughts in his mind are gone. The saints of heavenly stems, holy kings, and saving the Five Elements Continent of Light have no meaning in his mind. Losing the flames means losing everything to him.
The last bottle of Watga was finally finished. Ji Dong numbly got up from the big stone and drank too much wine. Although his strong body could dissolve a lot of alcohol by itself, his mind was still drowsy at this time. A breeze blew, and Ji Dong's body shook and almost fell down. However, this dizziness was exactly what he wanted. He himself didn't know how much wine he had drunk over the past few days, but he even forgot that he had spent all the money selling crystal cores when he bought the wine last time.
In fact, with his strength, even if he doesn't carry the token of the law enforcement elder, he will definitely be able to receive funding from the Magician Guild as long as he goes to the Magician Guild to show his strength. But Ji Dong didn't want to do that. He didn't want to see anyone, he just wanted to miss his flames in this dizzy and confused world in this dizzy and confusing world. Only by sleeping in that dizzy can you see her in your dreams.
He just walked towards the city not far away, and he didn't even know what the city was called, but only knew that he could buy wine in this city.
From afar, you can see where the city gate is located. Ji Dong staggers forward. There are many people gathered next to the city gate, and at least hundreds of soldiers gathered there. I don’t know what happened. However, these are of little significance to Ji Dong, and he doesn’t care about these things at all. He just wants to buy wine.
"Stop." Just as Ji Dong walked to the city gate, two soldiers stepped forward and stopped him. Looking at Ji Dong's drunkenness, both soldiers showed disgust in their eyes, but their responsibilities were that they had to stop this guy who looked not old but had a white hair.
Ji Dong looked up slightly. A little confusion appeared in his hazy drunk eyes, "What are you doing?"
A soldier said: "Report your name, age, birthplace. Now the empire is recruiting soldiers nationwide. All men between the ages of sixteen and forty are obliged to serve in the military."
"Get out." Ji Dong said coldly.
The two soldiers were furious, "You drunk, dare to disobey the order. I will arrest you first and sober up."
While speaking, the soldier on the left handed the spear in his left hand, raised his right hand and grabbed Ji Dong's shoulder. Ji Dong was tall and he had to get very close to him to catch his target position.
Ji Dong's eyes were still so empty. He let the soldier grab his shoulder, but his soldiers did not stop and still walked towards the city. The soldier who grabbed his shoulder was shocked to find that he could not stop the drunkard, and even his body was driven by his progress.
Seeing that something was wrong, another soldier shouted: "Don't stop, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." As he said, the spear in his hand had pointed at Ji Dong's chest. However, for what shocked him, Ji Dong continued to move forward as if he hadn't seen his spear. His chest was against the spear, and actually pushed the soldier backwards directly.
At the beginning, the soldier was afraid of hurting him, so he slightly retracted the spear in his hand, but Ji Dong still moved forward without hesitation. The soldier only felt a strong force coming from the spear, and he and the spear were knocked out several steps. However, Ji Dong only had a hole in his clothes on his chest, but continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened. The soldier who grabbed his shoulder had to let go of his hand.
"Someone is causing trouble." The soldier holding a spear shouted. Suddenly, more than ten soldiers from the Southern Fire Empire quickly surrounded Ji Dong and surrounded him in the center.
"Stop, attack the army, and if you don't surrender, you will be killed without mercy." The leader of the team leader shouted loudly to Ji Dong.
Surrender? Killing without mercy? These two words suddenly stimulated Ji Dong's heart. He still clearly remembered that when the killing god Xiu Puruos came to the earth's center world, he also said similar words to Lieyan.
The empty eyes gradually turned red, and a strong dangerous aura burst out from Ji Dong in an instant. These were just ordinary soldiers in front of him. How could they withstand the power released by him? Feeling the terrifying murderous intent and powerful aura, the soldiers fell back uncontrollably, and everyone's eyes showed an incredible look. Who is this drunkard?
Ji Dong's fists were already clenched, and his consciousness was not very clear. He murmured, "Bastard, bastard, it was you who killed my flames, it was you."
With a bang, the strong and hot flames burst out from Ji Dong's body instantly. Although he had only drunk alcohol and had never practiced for the past six months, his own Chaos Pearl has always protected his body and adjusted his body. Even if he didn't eat or drink, the Chaos Pearl alone could help him maintain his life by absorbing the magic elements from the outside world. The magic power in his body was even slowly increasing. With the existence of the Chaos Pearl, no matter Ji Dong's mental state, there was no danger of getting into a devil.
The three-meter-high golden flame suddenly rose. In an instant, the temperature in front of the entire city gate rose sharply. Ji Dong, who was covered by golden flames, suddenly became the focus of all eyes outside the city gate. Standing there, he was like a fire god coming to the world. The soldiers who had surrounded him had hurried away from afar. They never expected that this drunkard was actually a magician.
The hot and familiar flames spread all over his body. Ji Dong slowly raised his hands and looked at the golden flames on his hands. His empty eyes once again became blurred. He murmured to himself: "Fire Flame, Flame, why, why don't you let me go with you, leaving me alone in this world alone, do you know how painful and painful I am now."
At this moment, not far away, a scream rang out, "Ji Dong? You, are you Ji Dong?"
A red figure approached quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he had arrived ten meters away from Ji Lu. He was extremely emotional and called his name.
Ji Dong raised his hazy eyes and looked at the man. The stimulation of the name made him slightly awake. It seemed that the man was a little familiar, but his unconscious brain could not recall it. The paralysis of alcohol and mental pain made his body shake violently. The golden flames on his body quietly extinguished. With a thud, he fell to the ground and fell asleep.
For the past six months, he has been repeating this process. He drinks when he wakes up, and falls asleep when he drinks too much, no matter where he is. He is unwilling to accept reality, let alone reality. Whenever he wakes up slightly, he thinks that Lieyan has left, and the feeling of pain makes his spirit collapse.
The Chaos Pearl's ability to regulate the body was too strong. When Ji Dong woke up from his sleep, he was not as painful as a hangover's headache. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were still empty. He found that he was lying in a room with a quilt covered with his body, as if he had even changed his clothes.
He suddenly sat up from the bed and murmured, "Wine, wine..." Only wine can numb him. Drinking is the only thing he wants to do.
"Ah, you're awake. Ji Dong, you, what's going on?" A familiar voice sounded beside him, and an old man in red had already walked up to him quickly. However, what he saw was Ji Dong's eyes full of silence and hollowness.
Ji Dong didn't go to see him at all, and he muttered, "Wine, wine, give me wine..."
"Ji Dong, what's wrong with you? I'm Yang Bingtian! Don't you remember me?" The old man in red was Yang Bingtian, the former dean of Lihuo Academy, and Zhu Rong's registered disciple. In terms of seniority, he was Ji Dong's senior brother.
"Yang Bingtian?" Ji Dong murmured the name. Just when Yang Bingtian thought he had already called out for wine again.
As he spoke, Ji Dong got off the bed and walked out regardless of it, and still muttering the word "wine".
Yang Bingtian flashed, blocked in front of him, and grabbed Ji Dong's shoulder with both hands, "Ji Dong, what happened? Why are you here? You have become like this." Looking at Ji Dong's appearance, Yang Bingtian was very anxious.
"Get out of the way." Ji Dong's shoulders suddenly shook. Yang Bingtian felt that the palms of his hands were numb and he could no longer grasp his shoulders. The next moment, Ji Dong had already walked up. Just as it hit him, Yang Bingtian felt a powerful force coming. His strength to hit the sixth crown could not be stopped. He had already hit the door behind him.
"Ji Dong, I won't let you go." Yang Bingtian said in a deep voice.
Ji Dong was stunned for a moment. The next moment, he slowly raised his right hand and murmured: "If you don't let me drink, I will kill you."
