Chapter 458: The upcoming encounter
Central Region, Sea of Sand.
"You said you are the alchemist Hua Jing from Qingce Territory in the East Region?"
Kongs looked at the young man in front of him with his hands raised, and frowned slightly.
"Yes Yes……"
Hua Jing nodded his head quickly, fearing that if he was slow, Kong Si would kill him right here.
"Well... can you please put down the shovel in your hand..."
When the word "shovel" was mentioned, Hua Jing saw Kong Si's brows furrowed tightly, and his aura became a little unstable.
Seeing this, his expression changed and he immediately changed the subject:
"It's the scepter! The scepter!"
"This black gold scepter is obviously a powerful artifact that contains the power of the gods. I think the one who can own such a divine artifact must be a famous god, right?"
What should I do? Suddenly I don’t want to do it anymore…
Kong Si listened to Hua Jing's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his originally unhappy mood calmed down a lot, and even his brows relaxed.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. This alchemist who claims to be from the Eastern Region has said so. If he does it again, wouldn't it be too much?
So Kongs took back the artifact, the Red Sand Scepter, which was given to him by his old father, the Red King Amon, and looked at Huajing again.
"Judging from your clothes, you are indeed from the Eastern Region."
"But as a person from the Eastern Region, instead of seeking immortality, you are pursuing alchemy..."
“This is something I don’t understand.”
Kongs looked at Huajing in amazement, saying that he had never seen such a thing in his life.
As the son of the Red King, he knows a lot of knowledge.
After traveling all over the continent of Teyvat and studying in various powerful kingdoms of gods in the past, his experience ranks among the top among many descendants of gods.
Having witnessed the power and mystery of the Eastern Region Immortals, as well as the magnificence of their magic...
To be honest, if he had not been recognized by those immortals, and if it were not for his own identity problem, he would have wanted to become an immortal.
"Uh..." Hua Jing scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "In fact, although I am an alchemist on the surface, in the Eastern Region, I am actually a person who seeks immortality and asks for the way."
"I am also a seeker who has passed the test of heaven and earth..."
"Although I have not been included in the immortal register, I have still been recognized by the immortals and have become a lay disciple."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Kong Si's gaze towards Hua Jing became much softer.
If the person in front of me is just an alchemist...
I'm sorry, there are no big shots among alchemists. He will take the other party away and torture him.
But if you enter the immortal sect and become an outer disciple... then the meaning is different.
Of course, the above information was just a fleeting thought, and in fact Kongs had no such idea at all.
The reason why his eyes softened was that there was not a trace of lies in Hua Jing's words, which meant that what he said was true.
It also means that Hua Jing cannot possibly have any connection with that "Doctor".
Since he is an innocent person, there is no need to treat him with such a serious attitude.
"This friend..."
Kongs suddenly became enthusiastic and put his hand on Huajing's shoulder.
"Can you tell me what brings you to the Central Region this time?"
Speaking of this, he was also a little distressed.
"I am Kongsi, the son of God of the Red Sand Divine Kingdom. My father is Amon, the King of the Blazing Sun, and my mother is Nabu Marikata, the Lord of the Flower Sea. I have recently participated in the Demon Hunting Day in the Eastern Region and became a glorious patrol envoy."
"We are currently hunting down the Doctor who is at the top of the SSS-level bounty list..."
"Speaking of this, I need to apologize to you."
"I misunderstood you as that 'doctor' or his accomplice, so I was a little rude just now. I hope you can forgive me."
Is this a threat?
This must be a threat, right?
In just one sentence, he revealed his identity and purpose, and there was a hint of threat between the lines...
Well, it's not a threat.
After exchanging glances with Kong Si, Hua Jing discovered that there was nothing impure in the other person's eyes...
To be precise, what the other party just said and his apology were all true and he was not lying to him.
"It doesn't matter."
Hua Jing tried to get out from Kong Si's strong arms, but found that the opponent's strength was a little too strong, so he gave up.
"It's just a small misunderstanding. I don't take it seriously."
"Oh?" Kong Si was a little surprised to see Hua Jing's attitude. "I didn't expect that you, my friend, are so generous?"
Actually, I’m not generous at all!
Hua Jing smiled and nodded, but he was complaining in his heart.
If he could not defeat Kongs, he would definitely find an opportunity to make friends with Kongs and then put an alchemical laxative in the other's food.
This specially made laxative is something that weak demons cannot be completely immune to.
"In that case..." Kong Si released his arm from Hua Jing's shoulder and lowered his head to fall into deep thought.
What are you up to again?
Hua Jing had a smile on his face, but he was staring at Kong Si with some vigilance.
He was now afraid that Kongs had the ability to see through people's hearts, and would directly pull out a shovel and hit him hard, sending him back to the cycle of reincarnation in the earth veins.
Of course, it is also possible that it will be thrown into "True Genshin Impact" with a shovel.
After all, according to his and his teacher's investigation, the "True Genshin Impact" is not a simple one...
"How about this, where are you going next, Brother Hua Jing?" Kongs thought about it and felt that he probably didn't have a chance to get the "Doctor"'s head, so he decided to relax for a while and build a good relationship with the friend next to him.
As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths. He always felt that the alchemist named Hua Jing beside him had some secrets...
As it happens, those secrets are the kind that can affect him.
Although I'm not sure what the secret is, it's certainly not wrong to prioritize building good relationships.
"...You know, I'm an alchemist." Hua Jing pondered for a moment and then replied, "In the next period of time, I will travel around the Central Region to collect some alchemical materials."
"To conduct some special alchemical experiments..."
As if sensing the curiosity in Kongs' eyes, Hua Jing added again:
"This is the assignment my teacher gave me. If Lord Kongs wants to know... I'm sorry, I can't tell you."
"Is that so..." Kong Si's golden pupils flashed a trace of disappointment, but he did not force Hua Jing to say something that he could not say, "How about this, Brother Hua Jing."
"Although I am not very strong, I do have certain strength."
"To express my apology, how about I temporarily serve as Brother Hua Jing's bodyguard for the next three days?"
"It's a good opportunity to protect Brother Hua Jing from any danger while he's searching for materials. What do you think?"
"This..." After hesitating for a moment, Hua Jing bowed to Kong Si and said, "In this case, I'd better obey your command."
So the two of them headed southwest together.
At the same time, "Doctor" No. 14, who was being chased by the other patrollers, was running in the direction of Kong Si and Hua Jing in a panic...
