Chapter 47

"Truly a beautiful form." Hyde muttered, gazing at the emerald greatsword in Zheng Chen's right hand, then roared at him, "Hey! You remember this, you must cherish her well in the future, or I'll chase you to the ends of the earth and kill you!!"

"… This doctor seems to really have some issues?" Grayez couldn't help but say when he noticed Hyde's reaction, but he was still very impressed by his abilities. He could actually directly discern Kokowit's abnormality.

Even in private, he had warned him separately, and he was quite clear that once Kokowit's core stone was removed, she would surely die. The reason he didn't want to return at the time was because of this. If the mission failed, the Holy War Angel would be discarded, and the outcome of such a disposal was only death.

"…" Knowing that Hyde would have intermittent fits whenever it came to matters related to the Holy War Angels, Zheng Chen directly ignored his roar. He had seen many such bonds, and even though his thoughts had changed and he had expectations, he was more restrained.

He was very clear that he would not stay on this continent, and he was destined to wander everywhere. Therefore, he had made this decision. This experience was enough for him alone. Once Lei found her own life, it would be the time for him to leave without hesitation.

However, the life she found seemed not to last long.

"A strange feeling." Zheng Chen said. After the bond, his connection with Lei became extremely close, and he could vaguely sense her emotions. Similarly, was he like this too?

"Normal, how is the synchronization rate?" After watching for a while, Hyde couldn't help but approach and ask.

"What if it's not high?"

"Kill you!"

Zheng Chen lightly waved his hand, and a perfectly straight scratch appeared on the ground without a sound, making Grayez blink. This… truly worthy of the Seven Radiant Treasures, without even chanting a spell, he could easily exert such powerful force just by relying on his inherent attributes.

Lei's attribute is wind, and the cutting power and speed of wind are beyond doubt. Only Zheng Chen and Lei themselves could truly experience it. In addition, the bond gave him an extra attribute boost…

Agility +1

This increased his already superhuman 11 points of agility even further. He felt that this improvement was just the beginning.

"Not bad!" Staring at the new scratch on the ground, Zheng Chen hadn't even used any force, yet it had such power. The synchronization rate wasn't bad. He looked at the girl's phantom behind him, "You didn't misuse Lei's power, did you?"

A common problem for beginners is that after bonding with a Holy War Angel, due to lack of experience, they would waste the Holy War Angel's power on useless things during attacks, increasing the burden on the Holy War Angel.

Zheng Chen gave Hyde a faint look. Wasting? Any attack that wasn't effective was a waste, and deliberate waste was to prepare for a follow-up move.

Lei gently shook her head. Through the bond, she could also sense Zheng Chen's mindset, a calm and inclusive attitude, just for her.

"… Remember to come back and see me after finding Sia." After Zheng Chen解除同契, 格丽娜犹豫了片刻才开口，语气中多少有点不情愿，她依旧不想让蕾去艾迪鲁庭园。

"这段时间我会好好照顾格丽娜的，保养得好，只要格丽娜不受伤的话，还能继续享受很长一段时间的生活。" 海德推了推眼镜说道，作为堪堪达到两位数之一的圣战天使医师，他有这个自信。

"多久？" 郑尘问道。

"十多年不成问题！" 海德没有注意到身后格丽娜有些无奈的表情，甚至还颇为自得，"但这远远不是我的极限啊！！"

"……"

"十几年对圣战天使来说是很短暂的。" 在郑尘的注视下，格丽娜别过头去，微微抬头望天说道，"强大的圣战天使寿命一般都在人类的十倍以上，你自己折算计算一下就可以了。"

郑尘回头看了一眼蕾——515岁的妙龄少女……

可可威特也露出了一丝自得，不过马上就被注意到她表情的海德给打击了，"你不算，你以为你们那种所谓的强化核石改造是没有任何代价的吗？"

"没关系啦，只要能陪着葛雷亚兹就好。" 可可威特毫不在意地说道，伸手抱住了葛雷亚兹的胳膊，"时间虽然长，但不还要一天一天的过嘛！"

总而言之，一些事情，现在知道已经晚了，"一定要带着蕾安全的回来！！"

格丽娜将蕾拉到一边交谈着，不时看一眼郑尘，似乎在交代着什么要注意的事情，之后她来到郑尘面前，没有多说什么，非常用力地留下了这句话。

他们之后的路不会平静，遇到应付不了的困境，格丽娜知道郑尘多数会立即撤走，但是蕾就不会这样做了。

"知道了。"

"回来的时候记得带点土特产！可恶的混蛋，走了还要留下麻烦！" 海德对着郑尘的背影大吼了一声，一脸不爽地盯着自己手里的那只松鼠，这只松鼠有着一个让他感觉更不愉快的名字。

菲萝……

"取什么名字不好，偏偏取这种名字。" 他伸手捏了捏松鼠的后腿，先天长的不正的腿骨让海德轻轻皱了皱眉头，"真是的，我可是伟大的圣战天使医师！不是兽医……先找席娜问问。"

"老大，这个……" 重新起航的路途中，葛雷亚兹拿出来了一个钱袋，"最近我在镇上开了几场演唱会。"

"你自己拿着。" 葛雷亚兹的事情郑尘知道，在小镇上挺受年轻人欢迎的。

"不过老大你拿的是什么？" 葛雷亚兹有些不解地注视着郑尘手里提着的一个大箱子，他会带这么一看就很沉重的东西？

"衣服。" 郑尘回答道，离开的时候海德转交过来的，说是席娜医师准备的东西，对他们接下来的行程有帮助。

至于是什么东西，到地方后再看也不迟。

水牛城，也就是他们下一站的地方，这个地方眼下正在举办着什么庆典，气氛相当的火热，居民们的着装都是以牛……为主，和他带来的那个箱子中的服饰基本类似，这个就是有帮助的？

"……！哦！我想起来了，现在的时间正好是这里水牛祭，怪不得准备了这些衣服。" 葛雷亚兹恍然大悟地一锤手心。

郑尘看了他一眼，"你想在这里玩？"

"呃……" 兴致勃勃的葛雷亚兹一窒，有些讪讪地干笑了一声，"总感觉错过了挺可惜的。"

似乎开办演唱会已经上瘾了，他看着这里的气氛忍不住就想要留下来试试，他喜欢唱歌，更喜欢看其他人对他唱歌认同的称赞反应。

看了看时间，郑尘将箱子里的衣服分了一分，"后天离开。"

"龙普鲁是吗，哼，这里的事情已经被我接手了，赶紧离开！"

水牛城之外的一处废弃歌剧院中，两名男子对视着，其中一名俨然就是典型的美男子，身后甚至跟着十二名各有特色的圣战天使，其规模足以让人眼红羡慕嫉妒恨……堪称后宫……这家伙在玩家中的知名度也不低，谁让他身边的圣战天使多呢？

没错，这十二名圣战天使全都和他同契了！

然而这名叫做龙普鲁的男子却相当忌惮地看着对面开口说话的人，连同他身边的圣战天使都忍不住有些畏惧地望着他身旁站着的有着冰晶耳饰的女性，他的圣战天使。

龙普鲁只是组织里的一个精英人员，而他面对的人却是艾迪鲁庭园中顶端存在，总统身边的红人，直接听从总统的指令。

身边的圣战天使还是和总统同类型的冰系圣战天使……仅仅是同系或许代表不了什么，但是同族呢？总统身边的圣战天使是七煌宝树，他身边的圣战天使同样也是！

而他的目标不用说，肯定就是流离在外的七煌宝树，蕾芙丽·梅扎兰斯。

"欧鲁哈……" 扯了扯嘴角，龙普鲁考虑了片刻，果断地放弃了这次的任务，对方的强大不用怀疑，他们所有人加起来都不够对方一招解决的，作为老牌七煌宝树的同契者，龙普鲁很清楚双方的差距。

欧鲁哈都已经来这里了，证明艾迪鲁庭园的总统不会再继续旁观，现在只要总统没有下令，他们组织里是别想有什么行动了，"我放弃这次任务。"

"明智的选择，比芮丽坦那里的我之后回去说，你就老老实实地呆着吧。" 欧鲁哈淡淡地说道，从得知的情报那里可以看出来，目标身边的那个青年十分警惕……然而只是警惕而已，在绝对的力量下，对方再强也是普通人。

哪怕他的战绩让艾迪鲁庭园中不少人都觉得不可思议，连很厉害的古拉提亚斯都死在了对方手里。

"我马上回来。"

"欧鲁哈，不要给民众带来什么影响。" 欧鲁哈身边的圣战天使见他想要直接冲到水牛城内，不由地说道。

"没必要这样吧，兰珠……"

"恩～？" 兰珠不满地恩了一声，欧鲁哈扯了扯嘴角。

"好吧好吧，对方如果不合作的话，那动手没关系吧？"

"……总要先把事情说明白。"

水牛城中，郑尘一语不发地跟着走在前面的蕾，身上的衣服已经换了，只是因为衣服的材料让他有些感觉不自在，他不喜欢穿皮衣。

"Truly a beautiful form." Hyde muttered, gazing at the emerald greatsword in Zheng Chen's right hand, then roared at him, "Hey! You remember this, you must cherish her well in the future, or I'll chase you to the ends of the earth and kill you!!"

Lei gently shook her head. Through the bond, she could also sense Zheng Chen's mindset, a calm and inclusive attitude, just for her.

"… Remember to come back and see me after finding Sia." After Zheng Chen解除 the bond, Grina hesitated for a moment before speaking, her tone somewhat unwilling. She still didn't want Lei to go to the Edel Garden.

"I will take good care of Grina during this time. If she is well-maintained and not injured, she can continue to enjoy a long life." Hyde pushed his glasses up, confident as a Holy War Angel physician who had just reached the double digits.

"How long?" Zheng Chen asked.

"More than ten years should be no problem!" Hyde didn't notice the somewhat helpless expression on Grina's face behind him, and he was quite pleased, "But this is far from my limit!!"

"…"

"Ten years is very short for a Holy War Angel." Under Zheng Chen's gaze, Grina turned her head away, slightly raising it to look at the sky, "Powerful Holy War Angels generally live more than ten times longer than humans. You can do the math yourself."

Zheng Chen looked back at Lei—515 years old…

Kokowit also showed a hint of satisfaction, but she was quickly rebuked by Hyde, who noticed her expression, "You don't count. Do you think your so-called enhanced core stone transformation comes without a cost?"

"It's fine, as long as I can be with Grayez." Kokowit said without concern, hugging Grayez's arm, "The time is long, but it has to be lived day by day!"

In short, some things, now known, are too late, "You must bring Lei back safely!!"

Grina pulled Lei aside to talk, occasionally glancing at Zheng Chen, as if instructing her on what to pay attention to. Then she came to Zheng Chen, said nothing more, and left him with this forceful message.

Their journey ahead would not be peaceful. In difficult situations they couldn't handle, Grina knew Zheng Chen would immediately retreat, but Lei wouldn't do that.

"Understood."

"Remember to bring some souvenirs when you come back! Damn bastard, leaving and leaving trouble behind!" Hyde shouted at Zheng Chen's back, looking displeased at the squirrel in his hand, which had a name that made him even more unhappy.

Philo…

"What a name to give, why choose such a name?" He pinched the squirrel's hind leg, which was deformed from birth, making Hyde frown slightly, "I am a great Holy War Angel physician, not a veterinarian… I'll ask Sina first."

"Boss, this…" On the journey ahead, Grayez took out a money bag, "I've been holding concerts in town recently."

"You keep it." Zheng Chen knew about Grayez's activities and that he was quite popular among the young people in the town.

"But what are you carrying, boss?" Grayez looked at the large box Zheng Chen was holding, wondering why he would bring such a heavy item.

"Clothes." Zheng Chen answered. When they left, Hyde had handed it over, saying it was something prepared by Dr. Sina that would be helpful for their journey ahead.

As for what it was, they could wait until they arrived to see.

Water Buffalo City, their next destination, was currently hosting a festival, with a very lively atmosphere. The residents were dressed in outfits themed around bulls, similar to the clothes in the box he brought. Was this what was helpful?

"…! Oh! I remember, it's the Water Buffalo Festival right now. That's why these clothes were prepared." Grayez realized, hitting his palm.

Zheng Chen looked at him, "Do you want to stay and play here?"

"Uh…" Grayez, who was excited, was taken aback and gave a nervous laugh, "It feels like a waste to miss it."

It seemed he had become addicted to holding concerts. Seeing the atmosphere here, he couldn't help but want to stay and try. He loved singing and even more, the praise and recognition he received from others.

Looking at the time, Zheng Chen divided the clothes in the box, "We'll leave the day after tomorrow."

"Longpulu, huh? Hmph, I've taken over here, leave quickly!"

In an abandoned opera house outside Water Buffalo City, two men faced each other. One was a typical handsome man, with twelve Holy War Angels of various characteristics behind him, a scale that could make anyone envious and jealous… a harem… This guy was also quite famous among players, thanks to the many Holy War Angels he had.

Indeed, all twelve Holy War Angels were bonded with him!

However, the man named Longpulu looked at the person speaking with great apprehension, and the Holy War Angels behind him also looked at the woman with ice crystal earrings standing beside him, his Holy War Angel, with some fear.

Longpulu was just an elite member of the organization, while the person he faced was a top-tier existence in the Edel Garden, a favorite of the president, and directly following the president's orders.

The Holy War Angel by his side was also an ice-type, the same as the president's… Just being of the same type might not mean much, but what about the same race? The president's Holy War Angel was a Seven Radiant Treasure, and so was his!

And his target, of course, was the Seven Radiant Treasure, Revali Mezalans, who was wandering outside.

"Oluha…" He pulled at the corners of his mouth, considered for a moment, and decisively abandoned the mission. The strength of the other party was undeniable; all of them together wouldn't be enough to take him down in one move. As a veteran bonded with a Seven Radiant Treasure, Longpulu was very clear about the gap between them.

Oluha was already here, which meant the president of the Edel Garden would no longer stand by. As long as the president didn't give an order, their organization couldn't take any action, "I abandon this mission."

"A wise choice. I'll report to Birelitan later. You just stay put." Oluha said calmly. From the intelligence he had, the young man by the target's side was very cautious… but caution alone meant nothing in the face of absolute power. No matter how strong the other party was, they were still human.

Even his impressive record, which left many in the Edel Garden in disbelief, including the death of the formidable Gullatias, didn't change that.

"I'll be back soon."

"Oluha, don't cause any trouble for the civilians." The Holy War Angel by Oluha's side saw him about to rush into Water Buffalo City and couldn't help but say.

"Is that necessary, Ranju…"

"Hmm?" Ranju made a dissatisfied sound, and Oluha pulled at the corners of his mouth.

"Alright, alright, if the other party doesn't cooperate, then it's fine to take action, right?"

"… We should explain the situation first."

In Water Buffalo City, Zheng Chen followed Lei, who was walking ahead, silently. He had changed into the clothes, but the material made him feel uncomfortable; he didn't like wearing leather.
