Chapter 119: Necromancer (11)
As the polar day passes, the daylight becomes shorter and shorter, and even those who yearn for the light have a longing for the night after more than ten days of the polar day, and when the first dark night after the polar day arrives, the lively activities begin as usual.
The whole town is busy with preparations, and the topics of conversation when people meet outside are back to the activities they have prepared, and only a few sentences will mention the pair of uncles and nephews who appeared out of thin air, and the slightly sour tone is lamenting that money is not perfect, and the flying disaster has fallen to the point where it is today.
In contrast, he still has a good life.
As for the news that the little princess had been captured from the imperial capital, it had only been rumored for two or three days in a remote and peaceful town, and she was quickly left behind by the busy people with an attitude of not caring about herself.
Jing Hao walked through the small alley, and most of the familiar people she met on the road greeted her, looking at the half-worn clothes she was wearing and the small crockpot she was holding in her hand, the expression on her face was a little interesting.
"Dinah, are you looking for something to eat for your uncle again?"
"I said that the Cole family can't take care of your uncle and nephew like this, so that they can give you half-worn clothes to wear, and blind the diamond you gave."
"Dinah is fine, go to Auntie's house and sit down, Auntie will find you something to eat."
Jing Hao answered one by one, and there was no arrogance and disdain on his smiling little face, plus the clothes he was wearing, some people believed that he was a local native.
The person who walked away couldn't help but look back at her back again, shook his head and sighed how could he let the little girl have such an uncle, it was simply two extremes.
Jing Hao walked all the way back to Aunt Cole's house, and when she entered the door, she bumped into the teenager who was about to go out, and the teenager who couldn't stop bumping into her shoulder, blushing and taking a few steps back, her eyes wandering but she didn't dare to look at her, "Dai, Dinah, are you coming to the bonfire party at night?" ”
As soon as he finished asking, several heads popped up in the room he rushed out of before, all of them were teenagers, looking at Jing Hao with shy and expectant eyes, waiting for her answer.
Before the main owner could answer, the window in a nearby room was violently pushed open, and there was a violent sound on the edge of the window, followed by someone's cool voice.
"Dinah, I'm hungry."
Maxwell spoke word by word, his gaze grazing over the boy huddled by the window, resting on the watcher.
"I shouldn't have gone, my uncle wrote a letter to the family, and they will come back tomorrow to pick us up." Jing Hao answered the young man's question first, and according to local etiquette, he pressed one hand on his shoulder and bent down to express his gratitude, "Thank you for taking care of you these days." ”
Maxwell's injuries in the banquet hall are almost healed, but the speed of healing is still not as fast as when he was in the Tower of Death, and it is better to go back and recuperate than to wait here for the possibility of being discovered.
After thanking her, she turned around and entered the house, and Maxwell, who was sitting by the window, sneered, raised his hand and closed the window, completely cutting off the sight of the teenagers.
"Milky and impulsive, headless and brainless, and being with them will only degrade your character," Maxwell spat out his comment quickly, focusing on the last sentence of the summary, "stay away from them in the future." ”
Jing Hao answered, set the crockpot in his hand, and pushed the person sitting in a rough wheelchair to the table, "Well, I only play with people with beautiful ears and tails." ”
She was answered with a cold snort and a click on the wheelchair handle, which broke in two.
Maxwell's half-bestiality disappeared on the second day, and the mage, who had completely regained her normal appearance, sat nobly and coldly on the bed, and viciously ordered her to forget all about yesterday.
Jing Hao told him with practical actions, whether she had forgotten everything.
After another stalemate, Maxwell wiped out the contents of the crockpot with a spoon, pursed his lips to find fault with the problem, and just as he wanted to open his mouth, he thought that the person in front of him knew that he had lost his sense of taste, and he couldn't tell whether it was delicious or not.
He threw the spoon on the table, and when he turned his head, he saw the little girl who had been quiet sitting on the edge of the bed, lifting the corners of her half-worn skirt and carefully rubbing away the mud spots from it.
With a bit of red soil, at least on the other side of town.
The sarcastic words were quickly choked back, Maxwell lowered his silver-white eyes, and as soon as he moved his hand, a bright red gem appeared, and the clear and deep color shone in the bright room, sliding in an arc in mid-air, and landed exactly where it should be.
Jing Hao rubbed the fingertips that had been rubbed, picked up the gems that had fallen on the futon, looked at the person sitting at the table, and asked silently with his eyes.
"You promised to give that human more thanks," Maxwell explained, a little impatient, frowning more as if to avoid some kind of opinion in his own heart, "Acting is all about acting." ”
As he spoke, he thought of the scene of her popularity in the town, the fragile and poor little girl who was still sensible and polite after the accident, coupled with the original well-behaved and beautiful, compared with his uncle, who looked gloomy and not easy to get close to, no wonder even those stinky boys were attracted to the door.
"Give it back to me."
As soon as Maxwell stretched out his hand, the ruby automatically jumped into his hand, and he took the gem and knocked it on the table at random, and several paper figures that were originally stacked on the corner of the table jumped up quickly, flew out of the window, and landed in the inaccessible alley of the town, and became human in the blink of an eye.
"Let's leave today, I'll give you something."
These fragile and shallow creatures are not worth remembering and talking about about his people.
Jing Hao blinked at the paper people who were inquiring about the whereabouts of the "master" on the street, and quickly attracted a group of people towards Aunt Cole's house, and was about to ask Maxwell, when the noisy voices had reached the door, and the man in the wheelchair pushed the door before her, just in time to meet the large group.
Jing Hao was about to go out with him, and as soon as the window opened, he was thrown into a whole set of clothes, pale black from head to toe, and he wanted to cover his face, which happened to be someone's taste, "Change your clothes and come out again." ”
Maxwell looked at her from the window, his gaze glancing over the clothes she was wearing with disgust, "Don't wear anyone else's clothes again." ”
Before, it was because of his identity that he couldn't reveal his spells, and it was too weird to wear clothes without changing, but now that he had an excuse, he didn't want to see her wearing other people's things for a moment.
The window was closed, and Jing Hao hurriedly changed her clothes, and while she thought of several ways to apologize to her "uncle" who was not good-tempered enough, she went out and saw the mage who was surrounded in the middle of the crowd with a proper smile on his face, without the slightest impatience.
When the crowd heard the movement and was about to turn their heads, the "uncle", who had been recognized as uneasy to get close to, said something with a smile, which completely attracted everyone's attention.
"I've been bothering everyone these days, a little thank you can't be a salute, please accept it."
The crowd stared blankly at the baby's fist-sized gem in their hands, so shocked that they didn't even notice when the uncle and nephew had left.
Even at the bonfire dinner that night, the most talked about was the uncle who looked unapproachable, but was quite generous.
The story of the pie spread more and more, and finally it became that the good people took in the fallen gods and received generous gifts from the gods before they left.
As for whether the god was accompanied by a well-behaved and sensible little girl, no one cared anymore.
The polar day has completely passed, and the little princess who was taken away by the necromancer has no whereabouts, the queen is so worried that she can't afford to be sick, and the anxious king finally withstood the pressure of the Temple of Light, and posted a bounty list to call on the mages of the Xia continent.
The numbers on the list continued to grow, and finally even the throne of the future colt was promised to the mage who saved the princess, and the inspired mages set out on the journey to the Tower of Death once again.
Maxwell commanded the outermost trees to throw out the people who came one by one, turned his head to look at the person sitting at the table biting the pen and thinking about the wording, and couldn't help but sneer, "You really encourage a lot of people." ”
When the bounty was getting higher and higher, there were not many people who really dared to do it, and even after she became a reward, the people who came were even more annoying than flies.
Throwing them into a broken bone is definitely too merciful for them.
Jing Hao finished writing the letter to the king and queen, spread it on the table and puffed out his cheeks to dry it, "It is not me who agitated them, it is the power that instigated them. ”
On the continent of Xia, there has always been the coexistence of royal power and divine power, and there are not a few people who become mages, but only those who are extremely talented or have a very high background can become the middle and upper echelons of divine power, and the royal power is even more surrounded by nobles, making ordinary people look away.
Under such conditions, the suddenly vacated opportunity to become the husband of the princess and become a well-deserved upper-class person in the royal power, I am afraid that few people will not be blushing.
After all, the princess's inheritance rights are equal to those of the prince, and if the older prince has no queen, the only remaining little princess is the rightful heir.
Power is always the most attractive thing, and people know that there is an abyss ahead, but they also want to jump down fearlessly.
Jing Hao put the dried letter in the envelope and handed it to Maxwell, "Help me get it to the queen mother," she said, pointing outside, "and after they read it, they will never send anyone again." ”
The temptation of the latter sentence is a bit great, Maxwell, who has long been disgusted with his own people and is constantly coveted by other people, knocked twice on the envelope, and when the second time it fell, the envelope was gone, "I have a better way to make them dare not come again......"
Before he could finish his words, he frowned, turned his head to look at the edge of the forest, and said in a deep tone, "You can still come in this way." ”
