Volume 5 Chapter 280 A Little Accident
A month later, Hughes and the Night Demon successfully reached the strength of the fifth realm, but Li Hengxin did not let them return to their previous jobs, but gave them different tasks, as long as they completed the task given to them by Li Hengxin, they could go to take revenge, and Li Hengxin would not stop them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Humber had been cured half a month ago, and several dragons led a bunch of glass beads to leave proudly, but Albermont and Mei Shen had secretly found Li Hengxin and expressed their willingness to pay a high price to ask Li Hengxin to also transform their bodies, no way, for dragons who pursue power, divine power has an irresistible temptation.
Although Bao Ken has not yet fully mastered the divine power, the strength he has shown is beyond imagination, as for the two brothers Alkasi and Alkaz, they have been pestering Li Hengxin all day long, asking Li Hengxin to help and give them a new body, but Li Hengxin still refused their request.
Li Hengxin didn't want the dragon clan to be too strong, Bao Ken was helpless, if he could, Li Hengxin was not willing to give Bao Ken such a powerful divine power.
Li Hengxin's excuse is that the 'person' doesn't make a move, and he has no choice, anyway, there is no person behind the scenes, and Albermont can't do anything about him, Li Hengxin is different from the past, whether it is his ability or the person behind him, the dragon may not have a chance to win, and after this incident, Bao Ken's attitude towards Li Hengxin has obviously changed one hundred and twenty degrees.
"Husband, there is news from the emperor." Berechy's face didn't seem to be good.
"Did something happen?" It was rare for Li Hengxin to see Berexi look like this.
"Your Majesty has died, and the throne will be passed to His Highness Credi, and the enthronement ceremony will be held in ten days." Beresch said.
"How so? Three months ago, I saw that His Majesty's body was quite healthy, why did he suddenly pass away? And no matter how old and foolish he is, he will not give the throne to the kid Creddy. Li Hengxin's face was also very good-looking. He is not afraid that the kid Credy will deal with him after he ascends the throne, he just has the heart of the thief, and he does not have the courage of the thief.
It's just that Curtis can't be unaware of Credic's character, which was given to him by the Resad Empire. It's self-defeating, with Curtis's shrewdness. It is impossible not to know such a result. And Curtis should know what the consequences will be if Creddie is stupid for a moment and runs to provoke himself.
"I'm going back to the imperial capital, and the affairs of the barren sand castle will be handed over to you to manage." Li Hengxin had a decision.
"I understand, be careful on your way." Berexi knew that Li Hengxin would have such a plan.
Anyway, he had a relationship with Curtis, and Li Hengxin didn't believe that Curtis would die for such no reason. Curtis's strength has also reached the holy level, and he should still be strong at this time, and it is not a problem to sit on the throne for another thirty years, how could he die in three months.
It's just that with Creddy's kid, even if he wants to usurp the throne of the center of the earth, he doesn't have that ability, if Curtis really dies naturally and passes the throne to Clidi, Li Hengxin won't care, even if he finishes playing with the Resard Empire. Li Hengxin won't pay attention to it, but if that kid Credi conspired with outsiders to kill his own son, then Li Hengxin wouldn't let him go.
The royal struggle for power and Li Hengxin is understandable, but understanding does not mean that it is acceptable, especially using that kind of extreme means to seize the throne.
Li Hengxin set off for the imperial capital on the same day, but he didn't inform anyone, he wanted to see how the major nobles in the imperial capital reacted to this transfer of power, and that is, as a lord, he was not allowed to enter the imperial capital at will. Without the permission of the king, entering the emperor at will is a crime of rebellion.
Of course. Li Hengxin has already ignored this charge, and no one in the entire Ressad Empire dares to punish him.
Enze Town, this town is a small town that has just emerged in the past two years, and because it is located at the intersection of several trade routes, this town has gradually prospered.
Generally speaking, villages and towns far away from the metropolis are difficult to rise in a short period of time without military protection, but Enze Town has done it, they have resisted the invasion of human traffickers and robbers, and have become a prosperous town, there are several magicians in the town, and their strength is very high, they did not go out to risk or apply for those high-tech jobs, but stayed to protect the town.
Because for them, protecting the town is their mission, the mission given to them by the man who gave them new life and gave them great strength.
Thorost is the mayor of the town and the wise man of the town, working day and night to make the town prosperous, and on the other hand, hoping that he can find the benefactor, the one who rescued them from the ascension to heaven in their most difficult moments.
Not only did he rescue the refugees who would have died at the hands of the slave traders, but he also taught the young people powerful magic and gave them a treasure in the town.
Soloster had never worshiped other gods as devoutly as he did to that person, because in his heart, that person was his god, the god in the minds of the aborigines of the town, without him, there would be no who he is today, and there would be no Grace Town today.
Soloster remembered that in the months after the man left, a strong group of 10,000 people suddenly appeared in the vicinity, and it was impossible for Enze Village, which was only a small village at the time, to resist it, but when he tried to take out what the benefactor said was a life-saving thing, the heavens and the earth changed color.
A dragon descended from the sky, and after a massacre, the remaining 1,000 bandits fled.
Since then, Soloster has enshrined the sacred object in the ancestral hall of the town, but there are only a few people in the whole town who know about this thing, after all, there are many people, and Solostra wants too many people to know.
The sound of hurried footsteps outside the door woke Thorost from his memory, and with a clatter, the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man hurried into the mayor's study.
"Father, it's not good, the town's offerings are gone." Dahan is Sost's son.
Soloster's face changed, and he stood up suddenly, "What did you say!" ”
"When the guards of the ancestral hall routinely inspected the interior of the ancestral hall this morning, they found that the door of the ancestral hall had been pried open, and the sacred object enshrined next to the benefactor statue was missing." Thorst said in a panic, he knew the importance of that thing.
This time. A young man rushed in from outside: "Mayor and captain, there are a lot of robbers gathered outside the town, what should I do?" ”
"How so! How so? Soloster's face couldn't be calmer anymore, and the town had always been able to be safe. The main reason is because of the deterrent power of the dragon land, and now the gods in the town are lost. And the robbers appeared again at this time. Obviously premeditated, someone must have leaked this matter, or there was a traitor at all.
Soloster hurriedly walked out, at this moment the town was already in chaos, Soloster's heart was a little desperate, could it be that his years of hard work had turned into an empty dream, he was unwilling.
He is really unwilling that he and the town will disappear with such an ending, but such a situation is not something that human beings can fight.
A dark shadow in the sky slowly stopped over the town, and Thorost was stunned, it was the airship of the northern Henan Province.
Enze Town is one of the docking points for empty ships, that is, a special station for loading and unloading goods, and Soloster once went to understand that almost all of the stops that can become empty ships are big cities, so it can be said that they can become stops. It is almost a great honor, because the business opportunities make the goods from all over the world come in and out of here, and also drive the commercial development of the town.
Soloster never understood how his own town could get such an opportunity, and when it came to conditions, almost all of the nearby cities had more conditions than Enze Town.
But it is definitely not a good thing to come at this time, and it will only become the prey of those robbers, Soloster thought sadly.
The airboat slowly stopped on the town's airport, as if it hadn't spotted the robbers. It stands to reason that it is impossible, how can you not find those strong rays in the sky. Unless they don't care about the robbers at all.
In the bandit group -
"Boss, that's the airboat of the lord of Northern Henan Province, do you think we will do it another day?" A small bandit leader pointed to the slowly falling empty boat, a little timid in his heart, as long as it is a robber, there is no ignorance of the legend about the deserted sand castle, it is said that as long as you get close to the bandits in the deserted sand castle, you will disappear for no reason.
This legend mainly comes from the 500,000 sand thieves, not even the corpses left, if it was a previous battle, there would be some survivors, but in that battle, the 500,000 sand thieves seemed to evaporate, so the deterrent power of the barren sand castle is not comparable to such a small town, so that until now, no bandit group has dared to attack the empty ships of the barren sand castle.
"What are you afraid of! As long as we have this in our hands, are we still afraid of the deserted sand castle? The leader of the bandit group kicked on the buttocks of the little leader, and proudly grasped a black plate in his hand, which was the scale that Li Hengxin gave to Soloste after saving Soloster and his people. (Please see Chapter 158)
However, these robbers obviously don't know, this scale can only be used once, Li Hengxin has used it once before, and Soloster has also used it once, and now there is only one chance left.
"Don't worry about it so much, kill me and kill everyone below, so that people will know that we did it." The leader of the bandit group apparently did not know that he was making the biggest mistake of his life.
Thousands of robbers rushed down the hill, they were ordered to kill all living things, they had been hanging the curtain on that town for a long time, and now they had finally found their chance, how could they miss this opportunity.
However, a few loud bangs stopped them, and the airship was loaded with several defensive cannons, as well as a dozen escort cyborgs, these cyborgs were not vegetarians, and they had a strange thirst for human flesh, because the human soul was of great help to the evolution of their intelligence.
Most of the time, though, it's impossible for them to get the flesh and blood of the living, and their owners will feed them live little monsters and the like, except when it's time to kill them.
Seeing those robbers rushing up, the airship immediately released the biochemical beasts, these biochemical beasts are not an exaggeration to say that they are killing machines, as soon as they rush into the bandit herd, they are immediately like a flock of sheep, and the escort guns of the airboat also continue to bombard the bandits close to the town.
Seeing this, Thorost and the townspeople were both happy and hopeful, but their hopes were soon shattered, and a familiar black dragon emerged from the void.
Soloster's face turned pale: "Sure enough, they stole the artifact." ”
"Huh...... Why did some robbers summon me? As soon as Alkaz came out, he found the leader of the bandit group holding his scales in his hands, and Alkaz did not attack immediately because he saw the empty ship of the deserted sand castle.
"Great dragon, please help me destroy that empty ship." The leader of the bandit group behaved with unusual respect for Arkaz.
"This ...... Where did you get my scales? Arka lowered his head, and the momentum oppressed the leader of the bandit group, seeing that the object was Li Hengxin's airboat and forces, could he do it casually, he didn't want to be picked up by Li Hengxin after going back, maybe now the news has been passed back.
"Uh...... Is this important? As long as you clear the enemy, I will pay you handsomely. "The leader of the bandit regiment is also a person who understands the habits of dragons.
"Let me ask you again, how did my scales end up on your hands?" Alkaz was visibly angry, and his forelimbs shook, and the ground immediately trembled.
The leader of the bandit group was obviously frightened, he thought that as long as he summoned the dragon, then everything would be fine, and with the habits of the dragon, it should not be possible to care so much.
He was right, according to Alkaz's habits in the past, but today is different, there are many humans in the deserted sand castle who know themselves, and it is difficult to guarantee that there are no people on this empty ship who know themselves, so the mistake of principle must not be made.
"Yes...... It's me...... My men...... He is what he is...... He stole it. The leader of the bandit group pulled the small leader next to him and shouted.
Suddenly, a familiar wave flashed in front of Alkaz, and a figure wearing a cloak and a faint fire on his body flashed instantly.
"Bardak, why are you here?" Alkaz asked, puzzled.
"The master is on the empty boat now, and he asked me to come and inform you, you have dealt with these little thieves." Bardaq said.
"You say...... Spike is on that empty boat? Alkaz's jaw almost fell to the ground, he almost made a mistake just now, if he really did it, it was estimated that he would really be abolished by Li Hengxin, and he was still apprehensive at the moment, and secretly rejoiced: "What is he doing on that empty boat?" I didn't get any news at all, I thought he was still in the Desert Sand Castle. ”
"The emperor is in trouble, and the master doesn't want too many people to know his whereabouts, so he didn't release the news, and you shouldn't tell others."
The robbers below were already frightened, but they were afraid of the dragon's might and lacked the courage to turn around and escape, and the conversation between Alkaz and Bardaq was like a death prophecy, straight to their hearts.
Alkaz was clearly not going to spare these robbers, and another massacre without suspense followed.
Thorost and the townspeople were stunned on the spot, and those ordinary residents might still think that the dragon appeared this time was still summoned by Thorost, but Thorost could only smile bitterly, although he didn't know why the dragon fell, but it finally made him breathe a deep sigh of relief.
"Alkaz, how about a deal with you?" Li Hengxin looked at Alkaz and Bardaq who came to him.
"Spike, you're talking too much, if you need anything, just say it." Alkaz is generous, but he actually knows in his heart that the more open-minded he is, the less Li Hengxin will treat himself badly.
"This town has some relationship with me, you will be the guardian of this town in the future, and I will help you promote to the fifth realm, what do you think?"
"Spike, you've got a lot of money." Alkaz naturally would not refuse this kind of good thing, and he didn't ask Li Hengxin to agree to help him improve his strength before, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain this time, and protecting this kind of town was just a gesture.
In fact, Li Hengxin has been concerned about this town in the past two years, and the establishment of an airport in Enze Town this time is also Li Hengxin's instruction, otherwise, it will not be the turn of a town with less than 1,000 people.
"Master, the mayor of the town wants to see you." Bardaq came up to report.
