Chapter 209 Principal, mask, hunter, panda

Anweil ​​lives in a small town in the Snow Country. She is nine years old. Every Christmas, she likes to sneak into the attic of her home after her parents fall asleep, open the window and climb to the roof, staring at the stars in the sky.

Every time at this time, cheerful Christmas songs will ring in the town.

At Christmas this year, Anweil ​​climbed to the eaves of the attic as usual, sat down with her skirt on her shoulders, wrapped her scarf tightly, and stared at the sky with her clear eyes.

She swayed her calves hanging in the air and sang a Christmas carol softly. Her voice was clear and transparent, like the echo of the snow-capped mountains.

"...We broke through the heavy snowstorm..."

"...we were sitting on the sleigh..."

"...speeding across the fields..."

"...Always accompanied by laughter..."

"...the ponytail bells are ringing..."

"...the spirit is so joyful..."

“…I had so much fun skiing tonight…”

“…sing the skiing song…”

"...Ding Dong, Ding Dong..."

"...Jingle Bells..."

Anweil's ears were blown red by the wind. She exhaled softly and stretched out her arms, as if she wanted to embrace the biting winter sky and the gorgeous stars in the sky.

Today, something strange happened in the small town.

Four Asians came to the small town. It was obviously rare to meet a passerby in this town for so many years, but today four of them came at once, and they were Asians who had traveled a long way.

They call themselves "travelers" and like to explore all kinds of secret places. None of them have names. One calls himself "principal", another calls himself "mask", one calls himself "hunter" and the other calls himself "panda".

The principal is an Asian boy who looks about 18 years old. He is very tall, taller than many people in the town, and has a handsome face. His brown eyes are hard to forget at a glance.

Mask is the oldest of the four. His temperament reminds Anweil ​​of the words she saw in some translations of Chinese literature - "gentle as jade, a handsome young man", which is very consistent with Anweil's fantasies about Asians.

.

The hunter is a boy with dyed blue hair. He carries a long bag and looks like a soft lamb. He looks like he will fall asleep at any time.

Panda is an Asian girl with a delicate and cute appearance. The little fangs she shows when she smiles are endearing. Anweil's parents like her very much and even invite her to live in their home.

These four travelers from foreign lands seemed to be going door to door asking about "Christmas" and whether anything strange had happened on Christmas Day in the past.

But no one in this frozen world would pay attention to them. After hearing these nonsense, the residents of the small town were afraid to avoid them, so the travelers were largely ignored.

The hotels in the town did not welcome these strange travelers, so only Anweil's family would welcome them, and her parents even let them stay at home.

Anweil ​​wanted to talk to them, but was a little scared, so she kept herself locked in the room. Occasionally she would open a crack in the door and observe them secretly.

Only the man who called himself "Principal" turned around and smiled at her.

At that time, Anvil was shocked. She originally thought that her actions were secretive enough and she didn't make any sound, but she was still discovered by the traveler.

Anweil ​​folded paper cranes in the room, waiting for these uninvited guests to leave, but as she waited, night came, and the four travelers also went to the room to rest.

No matter what, after twelve o'clock, today was the annual Christmas, and she didn't want to waste this great and beautiful night sleeping.

In fact, Anweil ​​has a secret in her heart. Every Christmas, she can always see an old man wearing a red Christmas hat and a red cotton coat flying from the sky on a sleigh.

Pulling the sled are two reindeer, they are very cute and their calls are also very ethereal.

On the Christmas day of the previous year, Anweil ​​met Santa Claus. He flew to the roof of Anweil’s attic, laughed horribly, and told Anweil ​​that this year’s Christmas gifts had been distributed.

He would prepare another Christmas gift for her next year, and he also let the little reindeer rub its head against Anweil's hand as compensation.

Santa Claus told her to abide by the agreement and not tell other children or adults about it. Anweil ​​nodded vigorously at that time, thinking that she would never break the contract.

Last year, when Christmas was approaching several times, she was so excited that she wanted to tell her friends about it, saying that Santa Claus was coming and that he had made an appointment to give her a gift this year.

But every time, Anweil ​​held back. If she didn't abide by the agreement, Santa Claus might not come, she thought in her heart.

Soon, the small town of Snow Country ushered in last year's Christmas, the day she had been waiting for for a year.

Anweil ​​stayed on the roof for a long time that day. She hugged the little bear doll and stared at the sky expectantly, thinking that Santa Claus had given him a gift, and she would also give Santa a gift.

From rising to setting in the small town of Snow Country, until the sunrise in the early morning, Santa Claus has not yet appeared. Her face and ears were burned crimson by the cold wind, and her eyes were red, but she stared at the sky so persistently and firmly,

My heart says that Santa Claus will definitely come, and he will.

But that year's Christmas, Santa Claus still didn't come after all. Anweil ​​took leave and didn't go to school. She caught a cold and slept at home for a long time.

After waking up, she felt that the whole world had changed, as if she had grown up, and going home after class was boring every day, with nothing to look forward to.

Anweil ​​even had some doubts as to whether Christmas that year was just her dream.

Time flies, and another year has passed since last Christmas.

In fact, Anweil ​​had no illusions in her heart a long time ago, but the arrival of the four travelers suddenly gave her a different kind of confidence.

Are they asking about "Christmas"? Why is this happening? Is it because Santa Claus is coming again?

Thinking of this, an unknown emotion arose in Anweil's heart. Late at night, she opened the room, made sure that the travelers and her parents were all asleep, and then climbed to the roof of the attic alone.

"Santa Claus, will you come?"

After Anweil ​​finished singing the Christmas carol, the tip of her nose was a little red, her little face was like an apple, and her voice was so light, like an echo from the bottom of the snowy valley, rippling in the wind and snow.

Half an hour later, her face and arms were frozen, and her ears hurt from the cold wind, as if they were being pricked by a needle. She shivered all over and curled up like a hedgehog.

"fraud."

"fraud."

"fraud."

Anweil ​​pursed her lips, her eyes were filled with mist, and her eye sockets were gradually filled with blush.

Not long after, a burst of thunder suddenly came from the sky. The sound was so distant, but it seemed to be getting closer and closer, as if a thundercloud was approaching.

"Is there... thunder?"

Anweil's shoulders trembled, she raised her head and stared blankly at the sky.

She saw two reindeer piercing the clouds, dragging a sleigh and galloping over. An old man wearing a blue Christmas coat was sitting on the sleigh, carrying a large bag on his back, and an unknown fire flashed in his eyes.

Anweil ​​slowly opened her eyes, her young face was full of joy, and she cheered loudly to the sky: "I knew you didn't lie to me! I knew it!"

The next moment, Santa Claus stood up, his maniacal laughter echoed in the sky, like the opening ceremony of a grand show. He took out gift boxes from the bag behind his back and sprinkled them all over the town.

"Santa Claus is here to deliver gifts!!" Anweil's face was red and her eyes were shining like lake water, "Santa Claus is here to deliver gifts to me!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The sudden explosion made Anweil's excited expression freeze in the cold air. She seemed to have fallen into the deep sea of ​​deathly silence, and her excitement suddenly cooled down.

People's screams, wailings, and screams came one after another. The horrific disaster spread everywhere like a tide. Santa Claus was still cheering and dropping gifts. Every time a gift box dropped, there was an explosion.

There was a loud noise, and at the same time, a house was engulfed in flames.

Anweil ​​hugged the doll tightly, shook her head, and backed away, but her back bumped into someone unknown.

She turned around and saw the four travelers in their temporary home - the principal, the mask, the hunter, and the panda. What she bumped into was a young man with brown eyes, a weirdo who called himself "the principal".

The young man reached out and rubbed her hair, and whispered: "It's okay, you go back and have a rest." After saying that, he raised his head and looked at the sky, looking at Santa Claus who was wreaking havoc on the town.

"Haha, Santa Claus finally came out." The hunter said lazily.

"As expected, it's only tonight." The mask said, "I told you in advance that because I used the 'Jade Stone Burns Together' move before, most of my ancient jade beasts are in a sealed state."

Panda patted his flat chest: "It's okay, just leave it to the 'principal'."

"Let's just say, do we have to use these weird nicknames?" The hunter was speechless.

"Shut up, hunter."

"I hunted you first, you stinky panda."

"..." Anweil ​​didn't make a sound, she just grabbed the principal's sleeve, and the continuous explosions like a shower tore through her thoughts. Her platinum hair covered her eyes, and she asked tremblingly: "

...Can you stop him?"

The mask said gently: "Of course, that's why we're here."

Seeing that Santa Claus was approaching, the 'Principal' put his hands into his coat pockets, and the surging field spread out instantly, covering an area of ​​nearly fifty meters in radius.

"What's this?"

Anweil ​​looked around in surprise and tightened her grip. Suddenly, like a gust of wind and thunder, a gray dragon and a floating shark rose into the sky from behind the principal at the same time.

"Bang——!!!" The sound of gunfire tore through the night sky.

The bullet covered with dark blue light rose into the sky like a star, hitting Santa Claus without any error, and the strong impact shot him off the sleigh.

At this time, the gift bag in Santa Claus's hand also fell to the ground, just above the principal's head.

The hunter was stunned: "Oh no, his pile of gifts also fell down."

"You are cheating your teammates!" The panda slammed the hunter on the head.

Anweil's pupils shrank, looking at the gifts that were falling like rain, and the little bear doll in her arms fell to the ground.

At this time, the principal was not in a hurry. He ordered: "Floating Shark King, stop him. At the same time, the Dark Light Dragon aims at the Floating Shark King and releases his skill - Shadow Barrier."

As the words fell, the giant dragon spread out gray-black energy, forming a barrier of nothingness, shrouding the flying sharks as well. The explosion caused by the rain of gifts could not invade the barrier at all, but instead destroyed all the buildings with a radius of tens of meters.

destroy.

Two seconds later, the explosion continued, but the duration of the shadow barrier had ended.

The young man then ordered: "Use the sequence skill - Chess Soul on the Floating Shark King."

The Flying Shark's body was instantly covered with a red 'cloak'. It pushed upwards unscrupulously, and most of the aftermath of the explosion was absorbed by its huge body.

Anweil's pupils trembled, and she hid behind the principal in fear.

At this time, a blue bird was reflected in her eyes, a blue bird that seemed to come from the other side of the world. It was breathtakingly beautiful, with a black metal pattern of "V" engraved on its wings on both sides.

The bluebird flew in the air, fluttering its wings and casting blue light.

"So beautiful..." Anweil ​​was fascinated.

After the blue light rain fell, the Floating Shark King and the Dark Light Dragon became stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Santa Claus laughed wildly in mid-air, and the sleigh followed him like a shadow, chasing his falling figure quickly and carrying him back in time.

But at this moment, the Dragon of Dark Light roared suddenly, a huge hole opened in the winter sky, and a gray stream of light like a jungle crashed down, directly hitting the old man and the sled.

"Uhhhhhh!!!" Santa Claus fell to the ground, and the sleigh broke apart instantly.

"Bang--"

The cold and stern gunfire tore through the sky, like a straight highway, hitting the falling Santa Claus without any suspense and piercing his body.

The hunter breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the flying shark that was struggling to hold on: "It seems like it still doesn't work, it can't hold on."

The falling gifts continued to explode, and the floating shark king was about to be swallowed up by tons of explosions. Even the "chess spirit" could not save his life.

"Senior! I can treat it!" The red panda standing on the shoulder of the Chinese girl suddenly raised a bamboo and burst out with a burst of fluorescent green light, which rushed straight towards the flying shark.

The health of the Floating Shark King is temporarily increased, but this is of no help at all - what it has to face is an explosion that can destroy an entire town!

If all those gifts are allowed to fall, everything in the small town of Snow Country will be reduced to dust.

Anweil ​​looked at the sky full of fire, and heard the roaring flying sharks in her ears.

She asked softly: "Can we still be saved?"

"Of course." The principal's voice was so calm.

"Ouch——"

"Ouch——"

The blue bird disappeared and was replaced by two small black lions who came from nowhere. They turned into metal and were embedded in the bodies of the giant dragon and the flying shark. They fearlessly faced the oncoming "gift".

“Bang——!!!”

"boom--!!!"

Like a swarm of falling meteors, the sound of explosions continued one after another.

The two little black lions turned into black barriers and temporarily withstood an explosion. After that, the panda on the Chinese girl's shoulders kept waving the bamboo, spreading fluorescent green light waves to heal the injuries of the giant dragon and flying shark.

Anweil's tears kept flowing.

She lowered her eyes, looked at the doll that fell on the ground quietly, and said softly: "Santa Claus, is this the gift you gave me?"

This difficult and protracted battle lasted for a full twenty seconds before it stopped. In the eyes of the residents of the town, it seemed as long as a century.

In the end, everything returned to silence.

The snow is still falling, like a fool who can't understand the atmosphere.

Anweil ​​lost strength in her legs and fell to the ground.

"Merry Christmas." At this moment, the principal turned his head, gently touched Anweil's hair, and handed her a small box: "This is my Christmas gift to you."
