151 Chapter 151
[Do you have the special item "Angel Heart" equipped?】
Xie Qian's mental power was concentrated on himself after taking out the heart, and when he heard this sentence for the first time, he used his mental power to communicate with the system, and chose "no", maybe the angelic heart has many benefits, such as the weird affinity that is very easy to trust, but he still wants to be a normal ordinary self.
Without the mandatory equipment, everything is quiet again.
"Xie Qian, what are you doing?!"
With a shout, Xie Qian looked up and saw an attendant beside Xia Se, his eyes looked sternly, Xie Qian looked down and looked at his bloody hands, as well as the corpse that had fallen to the ground and was cut open, and his body was cold, which was the last thing he wanted to see.
"Ah, what's going on?" Looking up again, Xie Qian, who looked dazed, acted as if he was afraid, and wanted to stand up in horror, but he stepped back very embarrassed, and the appearance of not even being able to stand up made the attendant look suspicious.
"You killed someone. The squire reaffirmed what he saw.
"No, I didn't kill it. Xie Qian's words were negative, his tone was fierce, and at the same time he kept shaking the blood on his hands, as if it was something terrible, and he didn't dare to look at the corpse on the ground, but his spiritual power had quietly wrapped around the squire's body, waiting for the most suitable time to pierce his brain and control his words and deeds.
The attendant was once again confused by his performance, the person who was killed was not related to him, but he was still familiar with Xie Qian, so when he compared, he somewhat believed Xie Qian's words, even if the facts he saw did not match it.
The spiritual power gathered into a needle stabbed violently, like a golden needle piercing a point, and pierced the center of the attendant's eyebrows, and the attendant's gaze became glazed, and the words that were about to be uttered were not spoken.
"Your Highness, you don't need to prepare for the ceremony, that mermaid is dead. ”
Sha Fei was a sensitive girl, and she seemed to be able to feel the horror of the altar, and her voice was lowered when she spoke in front of the altar.
Xia Se yawned, he was used to going to bed early, and at this time he couldn't hold on a little, he frowned when he heard this, he didn't like this kind of unplanned thing, but, "Then send the other merfolk up, I don't want to see them anyway." ”
Most of the mermaids sent by merchants from various countries, except for the one or two that the king liked, were here in Xia Se, and except for those who were tossed to death by him, there were only a dozen left, so the altar originally prepared for one person seemed a little small.
With a wave of his hand, several merfolk were dragged down and destroyed, and the rest were driven to stand on the altar.
Xie Qian had already returned to Xia Se's side, he cleaned up the scene, prepared enough reasons and evidence, and a murderer who would definitely confess, guaranteeing that he would definitely be able to clear his suspicions, who knew that Xia Se would not even ask.
He thought about it before he was relieved, yes, he knew that the young man was an angel and was special, but Xia Se didn't know, in his opinion, these mermaids were all the same, if it weren't for the words last time, maybe he wouldn't have made such a ritual, no, maybe he would still have done it, but in exchange for the demon's reward.
In this case, compared with more than a dozen people, one person follows the principle of equivalent exchange, and naturally the latter will be able to exchange more things.
After understanding this, he was much more relaxed, and his mental strength tightened, and he let the attendant who committed suicide in fear of crime die in a secluded corner, and the matter was completely resolved.
Just as he was distracted, the runes on the altar lit up, and in a flash, the mermaids were gone, and what was left on the ground in the middle was something like a conch.
Boulder City is far from the sea, it is not a place where seawater can be easily obtained, otherwise Shaser would not use salt water as seawater, but those big merchants go anywhere, and some merchants who have been to the sea will bring many products from the sea, food is easy to rot and spoil, and it is not easy to transport, but these shell products, even if they will be broken, but if you pay a little attention, they can still be transported in good condition.
These rare natural shells have a brilliant rainbow-like glow on the inside, and although they are not as valuable as pearls, they are also collector's items of many nobles.
More expensive than shells, there are also conchs, which are placed on the ears and can be heard as the sound of the sea, and in the beginning they were even more valuable than pearls.
"A conch!" Shatse, who had been a little sleepy, widened his eyes at the change in the altar, but when he saw clearly what was left in place, he shouted angrily and cursed the demon's miserliness fiercely.
"Your Highness, don't say these disrespectful words!" Shafi snapped up.
It is no secret to the nobility that the gods have long since ceased to be born, and the status of the priests in the temple is gradually declining, and they are no longer equal to the king. On the contrary, it is a demon, which is not extinct, and often shows something special.
Xia Se's attitude towards Sha Fei was always so ambivalent, he hated this woman, but he would not hurt her by his temperament, hearing her words like this, he really closed his mouth, stopped cursing, and turned away.
The attendant who followed Xia Se turned around and left without hesitation, but Xie Qian stepped forward to pick up the conch, and there was another ring in his mind: [Get the special item "Seagod's Breath", is it equipped?]
The movement was sluggish for a moment, and the mental power skillfully checked "No", Xie Qian lowered his hand and covered his empty hands with his wide sleeves, the conch has been taken away by the system, just like the angel's heart, but what does the breath of the sea god mean? Can you use a conch to obtain the same ability as the sea god in the water?
Thinking about this in his heart, he turned his head and saw that Sha Fei was still standing in place, looking at him, Xie Qian smiled at her, compared to the little goblins around the king and Xia Se who love to hook up with people, Sha Fei's unruly style is not likable, but it is much easier to get along with, and they just don't interfere with each other.
"Your Highness might want to see what's different about this conch?" Xie Qian said, calmly walking in front of Sha Fei.
Shafi didn't say a word, didn't stop her, and watched him leave, as if she had just stayed here and watched.
The next day, after Xia Se woke up, he really thought of looking at the conch from yesterday, Xie Qian was prepared, took out a conch with a similar appearance and handed it to him.
"Isn't that the same as mine, what's so good!" said Shaser with disdain, tossing the conch aside.
That's the one yours, and naturally it's no different. Xie Qian's heart was completely relieved at this moment, and he said with a smile: "What story does Your Highness want to hear today?"
After getting dressed under the service of the attendants, Shaser stood up and said, "Tell me something I have never heard of." ”
Xie Qian had long expected this answer, and told a story with a smile, and when this story was finished, seeing Xia Se showing some interest, he continued: "Your Highness, my days by your side have not been short, and the stories I know have been told to you, in order to have more updated stories, I need to go to distant places to take a look." ”
"It's a nuisance. Shaser frowned and grumbled, but finally nodded and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back with a new story." ”
He wasn't worried about Xie Qian's absence, the status of an earl and a comfortable enough life, he didn't think anyone could give it up.
If Xie Qian was just a native here, he would naturally not give up everything now, but he was not, so he always had a reason to leave this place where he had to grovel and go to live a freer, but maybe only black bread life.
Maybe one day he'll come back because the brown bread doesn't taste good—I hope that doesn't happen.
When he left, Xie Qian was given a bag of gold coins, which was not even as much as the merchants who offered the dummies, but it was enough for Xie Qian, and he deliberately left the small village when he left.
This period of time is not very long, most of the people in the village have not changed, but he did not see Peach, only to know after asking, just a few days after he left, Peach also went to the city, I don't know whether to find him, or what, anyway, in the end Peach became a maid of a temple.
The lady-in-waiting of the temple sounds like a very good profession, at least for life.
Xie Qian didn't return to Boulder City, but blessed the girl in his heart, and then left a few gold coins in the house where he once lived, and there was already a thin layer of ash in the house that had not been inhabited for a long time.
"Well, aren't you staying here? Where are you going?"
The strong man grabbed Xie Qian, who was about to leave, the village and Boulder City were not too far away, but the people in the village rarely went to the city, and they didn't know about Xie Qian becoming an earl, they knew that there was such a lucky person who became an earl, but they didn't know that person was Xie Qian.
The name of the nobleman is not something that anyone can put on his mouth.
In his eyes, Xie Qian is just a person who went to the city to mix rice but did not get along and came back, the only choice is to stay, no matter how poor the village is, there is still a bite of food for him to eat.
"It's a pity, if you marry a peach, so someone can cook for you. The strong man's mind was undisguised.
Xie Qian smiled, it was not the first time he had heard such words, but this time when he heard it, he inexplicably felt a little cordial, and said, "I can't stay here where I want to go." ”
In this world, even if there are angels and demons, but for him, a mortal, those are too distant existences, fortunately staying here did not miss the plot, although I don't know if his change is something that the system is happy to see, and I don't know what kind of impact it will have in the future, but what he can do has been done, and the rest is better to let the limited life see more exciting.
He likes every new life, every new world, and every day he sees a different sky, a different scenery, and a different person.
This may be the biggest gain he has gained after getting the system. 166 Reading Network
