Chapter 67: Negotiations

The palm-long dagger burst out under William's terrifying power, piercing both bats at the same time with incredible precision, and slamming firmly into the tree next to him.

Seeing that the last bat was also killed, Jessica finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, one of the bats suddenly let out a sharp chirp, bit the head of the other bat, sucked it into a dry corpse in the blink of an eye, and then gnawed off the tree nailed by the dagger, and flew into the dense forest with the dagger on its back.

Otherwise, when he fully recovered, it would be difficult for him and William to deal with another attack from a fifth-order professional.

Jessica gritted her teeth and summoned Xiaobai, turned over and got on her horse to chase after her, but was stopped by William.

"Don't chase!" William stomped on the bats on the ground one by one: "Those two bats are the last means of life, even if he can survive, it will be impossible to return to the fifth order." ”

Jessica nodded ignorantly, and then said with some concern: "But he's not dead yet, so you...... And what about the bloody curse on me?"

William smiled faintly and lifted his shirt to reveal his strong eight-pack abs.

The holes that had been punched out before had long since disappeared, and the wounds on the body had not only stopped bleeding, but had even begun to scab over, and even the scabs had fallen off in some of the smaller wounds, revealing the pink and tender new skin underneath.

"In the time you passed out, his bat swarm had already been wiped out once. His strength just now barely touched the threshold of a fourth-order professional, otherwise he wouldn't have run away with a punch from me.

And now, he has killed even one of the most important blood bats, this time I am afraid that it will be difficult to even maintain the level of the third order, and it will take at least eight or nine years to recover, and the bleeding curse will not be able to maintain it for a long time. ”

Jessica nodded as if she didn't understand, and at the same time realized that she was indeed no longer oozing blood, and finally swallowed a heart back into her stomach.

"That's good. She controlled Xiaobai and came over, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Jessica looked at William, who was obviously a head taller, suspiciously, and reached out on horseback to compare, and found that he was standing on the ground and was not much shorter than himself on horseback.

The female knight bit her lip and asked a little confused, "William...... Did you get that tall before? What do I think...... You seem to have grown a lot taller all of a sudden? ”

William rolled over and sat on her back, reached out and grabbed the reins from behind, and replied lightly: "Men always grow up overnight, don't care about those details." ”

"Oku......"

Jessica nodded as if she didn't understand, then turned her head and asked curiously: "By the way, you have become so powerful! Those two blows just now were too strong, my father is a third-order knight, but I don't think he will be able to take your punch." ”

...... "It's okay to praise me for being good, but don't compare with your father...... Why do you feel so uncomfortable......

"Also, you seem to have changed jobs? What kind of profession have you changed? Surely it's not a second-order guard! Your fist is too scary. What happened to me during the time I passed out? And why did my face hurt a little bit......?

"Ahem! Your brother just died. William reported the "bad news" with an unchanging face.

"What?" Jessica looked back at William in surprise, not bothering to study her face.

"You mean, second brother...... Andy, he's dead, shouldn't he have gathered those people in the royal capital?"

"He came into the mountains to hunt you down, and then he was sucked alive by that vampire. Oh yes, do you know the name Amilian?"

Jessica frowned, and said in disbelief, "Amilian has come to kill me too......?"

"He's your cousin. ”

"Huh?"

Jessica was confused, whether she had been in a coma for a while or a month, and how could she feel like she couldn't keep up with the changes?

Just as she was having a headache for all this, a warm ray of sunlight suddenly shone down from the dense forest, and the sun rose. The eerie jungle of the night was gilded and warmed, and William's cheeks were illuminated by the morning sun.

Jessica just glanced at it, and couldn't take her eyes off it anymore.

The angular side face was marked with a soft light, the bridge of the nose of the handsome drew a beautiful arc, the thick and dense eyelashes occasionally moved twice, and the eyes that looked indifferent were full of ......

"He said he was...... Old man...... Prophecy...... Andy was attacked...... Token ......" William said dryly, and finally reluctantly explained the problem, he looked down at Jessica in his arms and asked patiently:

"So you understand?"

"Huh, understand what?" Jessica tilted her head a little confused.

"How did Andy die, and why is Amelion your cousin? ”

"Ah...... Then why is he my cousin?"

“......”

Without saying a word, William took the whip off Jessica's waist and slapped Xiaobai's ass fiercely.

That one named Amilian is probably not dead yet, brother, hold on, I'll save you!

......

Meanwhile, in the camp where the royal army was stationed, Avril sat in a somewhat dilapidated tent and smiled softly at the dozen or so minor nobles who were held down around her.

"Guys, it's been a long time, do you need me to introduce myself?"

These little nobles smiled bitterly, they had obviously fallen asleep, but they didn't expect to be touched into the camp tent one by one and robbed out.

And their own guards and knights, after seeing the queen's face, almost turned against them directly, and some of them actually took the initiative to ask if they needed help, and the money over the years was really fed to the dogs.

A white-haired nobleman cautiously smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are joking, in fact, you don't need to do this, we are just insignificant little nobles, as long as you shout ......"

Avril interrupted him with a slight clapping of her hands.

"I'm no longer the queen of Fran, Peter should be dead, the royal capital is also occupied by the Farrell family, and now I am just an ordinary woman. ”

The expression on her face is gentle and kind, and the smile on the corner of her lips is sincere and soft, which looks like a spring breeze.

Avril nodded slightly: "I know that the means of inviting you to come are indeed not good, but this is also something that cannot be helped, Giber is a fourth-order earth knight, as long as there is a little chaos in the camp, he will find out that something is wrong."

And I'm just an ordinary woman with a weak body, and I don't have the ability to save my life under the hands of a fourth-order professional. It's hard to gamble my life with your credibility, right?"

She rose from her chair, walked slowly over to the gray-haired nobleman, stooped down and reached out to straighten his bow tie, and straightened his messy shirt, then raised her head and said to the knights in the room:

"Let everyone go. Especially Viscount Arnold, the old man is not young, and it is indeed my fault to invite you over so rudely, and Avril apologizes to you. ”

"Don't dare!" After shaking off the big hand that held down his body, a nobleman with two hairy legs said in annoyance:

"Your Majesty, everyone knows what you want to do, and the purpose of kidnapping us is nothing more than to make us cannon fodder, and send people and troops to fight Jiber for you.

But I'll tell you directly, I've brought out almost all the people in the territory this time, no matter what others think, but even if you cut off my head now, I will never go to the same time as that old thing from Giber. ”
