I saw Li Ming firmly holding the knife. Holding it in his hand, he moved coherently and quickly, and without the slightest hesitation, he picked out the dark dagger that was tied to Tina's shoulder. Hades. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Poof! Dark Dagger. The Slayer then fell to the ground. The wound on the female mage's shoulder really didn't come out of much blood after such a moment. Immediately after, the anthropologist did not pause for a moment, and applied a homemade golden potion to Tina's wound to stop the bleeding.

"Didn't you find a strange thing, thanks to the dagger. Hades? Li Ming, whose forehead was covered with sweat, was relieved, turned his head, looked at his partners who had not yet come back to his senses, and asked with a relaxed smile. When everyone in the room heard this, they were at a loss.

"What's weird?" After a few moments, Bran was the first to ask, puzzled.

"That is, after such a long time, the wound on the shoulder of Her Royal Highness the Princess has neither suppurated nor inflamed, and has remained the same as when she was first stabbed. This is also thanks to the Dark Dagger. Blessed by the powerful magic of the Slayer! Li Ming explained why.

"It doesn't seem that this dagger is entirely a scourge. I'll give it another chance to atone for its sins. When Hanks heard this, he hurriedly leaned down; Picked up the dagger from the ground. Hades slaughtered, inserted back into the holster on his left arm.

"Your Highness's injuries have all been healed?" The middle-aged uncle turned his head again and asked Li Ming.

"Of course it's cured. There were no other complications, just simple knife wounds. I'm wearing my gold medicine and I'll wake up almost tomorrow. Li Ming replied in the affirmative.

"I was offended a lot just now, please don't take it to heart. On behalf of myself and all the people of the Lars Empire, I would like to thank you for saving our Royal Highness the Princess, the sole heir to the royal family of Lars. When the middle-aged uncle heard this, he knelt down on one knee in front of the anthropologist and was infinitely grateful to the other party.

"I didn't blame you at all just now, where did you get offended? Hurry up, I can't stand this kneeling. Li Ming hurriedly stepped forward and helped Hanks up.

"I owe you a favor only on behalf of myself and Leonard." Bran went on to express his gratitude to the anthropologists. Then the longbowman, the middle-aged uncle, the anthropologist, the amphibious prince, and the two militiamen withdrew from the princess's chamber in favor of several neatly dressed maids, who took turns taking care of Tina.

The next morning, when Tina opened her crystal clear eyes, she saw Hanks and two maids standing in front of her bed; He lay on the bed in the princess's bedroom in the palace of Panicia.

"Hanks, why am I here?" Tina, dressed in a nightgown, sat up from the bed and asked suspiciously.

"After His Highness fell unconscious—" Hanks recounted what had happened before,—— detailing what had happened after returning to Lars, and leaving Klein in a sentence or two.

"Oh. It turned out that it was the anthropologist Li Ming who cured me. Prince Rossi also came. And Bran. What about them? Hearing this, Tina sat down on the bed and continued to ask questions.

"Li Ming has gone outside the city to collect the materials needed for alchemy. Rosie and Bran went together to find out the movements of Sarke's army. Hanks reported.

"Hanks. When we left Klein City. Leonard, is he okay? Tina asked suddenly.

"It's... The subordinates didn't know how the man was feeling at the time. Please don't think about him anymore, Your Highness. Hanks' face sank and he replied with restraint.

"How are the Queen Mother and Cliff doing?" Tina asked again.

"The Empress has remarried a minor nobleman in accordance with His Majesty's will. This minor nobleman was also the empress's personal bodyguard. They are now living in the town of Kada, northeast of Mandolia. Is Your Highness going to see the Empress? Hanks replied and asked.

"No need. An amphibian invasion is imminent. As long as the queen mother is happy. What about Cliff? Tina leaned forward.

Her mother, the Empress, was different from Frank, who doted on the Crown Prince and coveted comfort. Frank asked the empress to remarry at will after his death, in order to prevent such a queen mother from interfering in court affairs.

"According to the information provided by the informant of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce. Cliff is still in Vosfita, helping their president clean up the mess. Hanks replied in a succinct manner.

"Looks like Cliff is busy enough. I've been abroad for so many days, and now I'm finally back home, and I want to go to the beach to relax. Can you come with me? Tina lifted the futon and got up from the side of the bed; So he reached for the coat that hung on the coat rack.

"It's an honor for my subordinates." Seeing this, Hanks quickly took off the coat from the coat rack, handed it to Tina, and walked out of the princess's bedroom. When the two maids who were waiting by saw this, they immediately stepped forward and closed the door; At Tina's request, she changed the female mage into the emerald green mage robe that she usually wore when she went out.

After leaving the palace, Tina, dressed in an emerald green mage robe with a cloak and holding a royal ceremonial staff, and Hanks, dressed in a brown and black cloth scarf and wearing the same brown and black linen robe, took half a day in a carriage to reach a coast east of Lars.

Stepping out of the carriage, the mage came to the shore and sat down on a huge reef. Poof——... Wave after wave of rough waves crashed against the reef, splashing and white. Tina sat here all the time, silently pondering. Hanks stood quietly and waited.

"Your Highness. It's getting late, so be careful of catching a cold. It's time to go back, too. I don't know how long it was, but Hanks saw that it was dusk, so he opened his mouth to warn.

"Hanks. I want to be here and alone for a while. You go back to the carriage first. Tina continued to stare at the sea in front of her.

"Your Highness, do you still have that guy in mind?" When Hanks heard this, he couldn't help but ask. Tina, on the other hand, was silent and ignored the middle-aged uncle. Hanks had no choice but to stay away from the mage, and secretly hid behind another large nearby reef to silently guard until the princess left.

"Ray! Could it be that the trajectory of your life is like two meteors in the night sky,—— after they meet in a hurry, they go their separate ways, until they fall into the sea? - But did you lose such a short, dazzling, but miserable moment? ”

After Hanks left. Tina's eyes looked up at the sea and the sky, and the two flashed by, and after they met, they fell into the boundless dark and deep sea meteors, touching the scene and expressing sadness.

"Ray! When will you and I see each other again!? Is it tomorrow or forever!? - Tina looked at the junction of sea and air in the distance, and under the light of the blood-colored sunset, the dark red clouds and sea like blood stasis, and continued to question loudly. Two tears of sorrow poured down from her crystal white face.

The sun rises in the west and sets in the east in this place. It can be said that the rotation direction of the planets is different, or it can be said that the continent of Farusion is located in the southern hemisphere.

"Ray! No matter where you are. I want you to understand: I can't forget you! - No matter what kind of person you think I am in your heart! I'm going to wait, wait, and wait, until—" Tina burst into tears, and after a long silence, she finally cried out as she spoke. And then I left here.

Hanks, who was hiding on the sidelines, saw all this, heard it in his ears, and remembered it in his heart; But without saying a word, he returned to the carriage first, and drove Tina back to Mandolia.

Tina and Hanks return to Mandolia and enter the Panician Palace; Bran, Rossi, and Li Ming were found gathering in the palace hall, discussing what to talk about. Seeing this, the middle-aged uncle accompanied the female mage to the emperor's throne directly behind the main hall.

"This is the throne of my father. I didn't expect to be able to sit on it today. This reminds me of those beautiful and happy days with my father in the past. Tina couldn't help but gently stroke the armrest of the throne and sat on it with emotion.

"Your Highness. We are gathered here today for an emergency military meeting. The Kingdom of the Sark has declared war on our Lars Empire, citing the deaths and injuries caused by the attacks on civilians inflicted on us. Hanks, who had been talking to the other partners for a while, reported first.

"Intelligence shows that although Ladakh has murdered his father and issued a war letter. But according to the rules of our people, the whole country of Salk will hold a state funeral for his father in the next two days. Especially Ladakh, a guy who came to power by a coup d'état. I think he is more and more afraid to slack off.

So, we have two more days left to prepare. Rossi stepped forward and added.

"How many troops do you Lars have left?" Li Ming then asked.

"To tell you the truth, our Lars Empire has just been restored. The remaining 1,000 soldiers died for the country in the Battle of King Crane. At present, the whole country can only mobilize an army of less than 500 men. Hanks replied with an embarrassed face.

"I won't tell you anything. Our Kingdom of Sark now has more than 5,000 regular troops, which is more than ten times that of Lars. And that's not even counting Ladakh's privateers and pirates. Rosie couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

"I am outnumbered. It can be said that there is no chance of victory in a field battle with amphibious people who are ten times their size, physically strong, many of whom are mercenaries, and who are extremely fierce. So, either simply abandon Mandolia and go to the mercenary association in Bagram. Li Ming first suggested.

"If Your Highness gives up Mandolia without fighting a single battle, what will the soldiers and nobles think? Pursue a policy of non-resistance, allowing the amphibians to easily occupy the entire territory of Lars and enslave the people; Instead, he went to join the mercenary association and sent someone to the fence. Doing so will only make His Highness spurned by the people and lose all the hearts and minds of the Lars Empire. When Hanks heard this, he refuted the anthropologist's claims.
