Chapter 19: The Queen's Game
With the chagrin of finding nothing, Erica and Liliana returned to the innocent side.
Seeing their expressions, Cang Zhen immediately understood.
So, he didn't ask anything.
However, although Cangzhen was too knowledgeable to mention it, when Leticia proposed to Erica and the two to talk about it separately, she still made it clear directly.
"Got it? No matter what kind of genius and prodigy you have when you are in the outside world, you must also have a correct attitude when you come to Hakoiwa. Humans are undoubtedly the lowest race in Hakoniwa, and although there is a lot of room for growth, it will undoubtedly require more patience. ”
Leticia stood in front of Erica with her hands on her chest, looking at them with scrutinizing eyes, as if to see if they had learned their lesson.
"I know you're eager to prove yourself. In fact, your experiences in the lower levels have proven yourself very well. But don't force yourself into the battle at the top, it's for your own good. ”
Because I was worried and came to enlighten me, this kind of care hidden deep in my heart always makes people feel warm.
Erica touched Leticia's head, bent down to look Laetitia's eyes in parallel eyes, and smiled.
The smile is as strong and beautiful as a snow lotus, pure without any haze, and it seems to show the other party that he doesn't need to worry.
She is the only Erica Brontree, she is a warrior with the heart of a lion, strong as a lion physically and mentally, how can she be defeated by a mere setback.
However, some people will worry about themselves, and as long as they understand this, they will feel a warm feeling in their hearts.
The next day, the game of the Queen of Halloween finally came to begin.
Led by the Queen's Knight of Halloween, all the invited participants gathered.
After seeing a certain figure, Cang Zhen decisively leaned over.
"White Yasha, sure enough, you're here too. No, rather, this is a grudge between you. ”
Looking at the white yaksha who was biting his lip tightly and his face was full of unwillingness, Cangzhen felt extremely funny.
After all, I was still induced.
"Hmph, you're there too."
Looking up, Hakuyasha replied angrily.
From her point of view, being attracted by the opponent's tactics and having to succumb to the opponent's calculations is equivalent to falling into disadvantage at the beginning. To put it simply, it is to be led by the nose by others.
What's more, even though she didn't think she would lose, Hayasha also knew that her spiritual personality had shrunk to an unimaginable level because of her belonging to the Buddhist sect. I'm afraid that the former White Night King never thought that she would fall to where she is now.
While laughing at others, she was also punished.
Although she voluntarily accepted the spiritual personality granted by Buddhism to suppress her own power, it now seems that that decision may lead to her facing the tragic end of being ravaged by her old adversary.
Now it's too late to regret it.
The remorse that filled her heart made Hakuyasha feel very bad, but she suddenly realized that there seemed to still be a chance to avoid being ridiculed by the Halloween Queen.
Isn't the opportunity to reverse that future by her side!
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Hakuyasha couldn't help but cast his gaze on the cangzhen beside him, and his golden eyes flashed with hope.
The overly strong emotion made Cang Zhen feel quite frightened, and his steps subconsciously moved backwards.
Although she didn't know what she was thinking, Cang Zhen instinctively wanted to pull out.
However, Hakuyasha's reaction was clearly quicker than Cangzhen's.
In order not to be ridiculed by the Halloween Queen, Hakuyasha exploded with unprecedented speed, her hand grabbing the corner of her clothes like lightning and holding it tightly.
"I don't know what you're trying to do, but I don't want to get involved in your fight with the Queen of Halloween. We'll do our own thing! ”
Cang Zhen raised his hand and wanted to pat off the small hand that grabbed the corner of his clothes, but Hakuyasha's words made him change his mind.
Of course, it wasn't quite right to say that he had completely changed his mind, but it just made him hesitate for a moment, ready to hear what Hayasha had to say.
"If you want 'Sun Sovereignty', join forces with me. If you win, the 'sovereign sun' will be yours, and I have a lot of that kind anyway. ”
The temptation given by the White Yaksha is like a beautiful poppy full of fragrance, and even poison wants to have it and cannot extricate itself from it.
Cangzhen, who came to seize the "sovereign sun sovereignty", was undoubtedly attracted by the bait cast by the White Night King.
"Hmm...... I do want that thing. But whether or not you need to be involved in your struggle for this is something to be considered. If you befriend the Halloween queen because of a 'sun lord', it still feels very unworthy. ”
Giving up the idea of patting off the little hand of the White Yaksha, Cang Zhen pondered for a while, thinking that offending the Queen of Halloween seemed to be more disadvantageous.
"But you can get my friendship! It doesn't matter if you offend the Queen of Halloween like this! ”
White Yasha looked up with his little face, and his chest was puffed up with pride.
At this time, a balance seemed to appear in Cangzhen's heart. At one end of the scales was the Queen of Halloween, and at the other end was the White Yaksha and the Sun Sovereign, and then the end of the White Yaksha fell down heavily.
After some comparison, Cang Zhen looked at the White Yasha and nodded, it is indeed a better deal on this side.
Although for now, it is a bit of a disadvantage to choose the White Yaksha, which has been severely reduced by Lingge. But in terms of long-term investment, the White Yaksha side has more potential. What's more, there is also "solar sovereignty" that can be reached directly.
Cangzhen didn't think that without Hakuyasha, he would not be able to win, but being able to get Hayasha's help would undoubtedly greatly increase the odds of victory.
Once the contract is made, even the Queen of Halloween will not be able to make it difficult for them, and the difficulty of the challenge will not be different from that of the other participants.
As for the hostility of the Halloween queen afterwards......
That queen had a much better reputation than Hayasha, at least she wouldn't get into uncontrollable trouble. Guys with a bottom line are always easier to deal with.
However, if you agree as soon as your head is hot, Cangzhen won't be alive now, and she will have been defeated by a brave man who appeared out of nowhere.
"Did you say you've solved the game's puzzles?"
Seeing Hakuyasha so confident, Cang Zhen couldn't help but think so, and asked too.
"Nope!"
Looking at him with a proud look like a little rooster, Hakuyasha replied in a rather decisive tone.
If this is in the anime, Cangzhen must be full of black lines by now.
However, in reality, his face also turned completely black.
"I didn't say anything, even if we wanted to join forces, I didn't know what to do!"
Thinking that as an old rival of the Halloween Queen, the White Yaksha must have solved the riddle a long time ago, and Cangzhen, who had disappointed his hopes, suddenly complained.
Without giving Cangzhen and Hayasha much of a chance to discuss, the Halloween Queen arrives after seeing all the participants arrive.
With the appearance of the Halloween Queen, Cangzhen found that the light and shadow in front of him began to distort. When the distortion disappears, everyone enters another world.
There are many ghost fires floating under the dark curtain, and when you look closely, you can see pumpkin lanterns of different sizes, and the seemingly desolate land, only to look closely to find that it is covered with a thick layer of all kinds of candy. No wonder you can't see the grass, it turns out that it's all pressed underneath.
Cang Zhen picked up the candy at his feet, hesitated for a moment and put it in his mouth.
It's very sweet, and the taste of it has to be transmitted to the brain through the tongue.
All the candy on the ground is real.
That's one of the playfields that the Halloween Queen has.
As far as the eye can see, a clear dividing line appears not far away, and the other side seems to be the real place where the Gift Game is held.
If anything, there are traces of recent tidying and cleaning.
What's more, the large palace-like buildings are also carved with exquisite stone carvings of the zodiac.
"Welcome to my world. So, are you all ready? ”
With her feet never on the ground, the Halloween Queen, hovering in mid-air, captures the reactions of all participants and locks on to her only nemesis.
"I'm pretending again."
Pouting, Hakuyasha turned his head to Cangzhen with disdain and complained.
However, even though her voice is very quiet, after all, the Halloween Queen's attention is all on her, and it is difficult not to hear it.
"I haven't seen you for many years, has the once beautiful White Night King become a dwarf?"
Almost everyone in the upper echelons of the White Yaksha belonged to the Buddha Sect, and the Queen of Halloween laughed out of disguise.
Hearing this, Hakuyasha's face directly distorted, and he gritted his teeth in anger.
Cangzhen looked around, and the faces of the other participants did not change, probably knowing about the entanglement between the White Yaksha and the Halloween Queen.
"Anyway, put your grievances aside for the time being. We're not here to see you bickering. ”
Utu, the sun god of Western Asia, stood up and spoke the hearts of the people.
"Hey, White Yaksha, that guy doesn't have a 'Sun Sovereign'. How can I participate? Have the conditions changed? ”
Glancing at Utu, the sun god of West Asia, Cang Zhen frowned.
There are many sun gods in the box garden. The sun is a celestial body that has an important influence on human beings, and it has a great place in various myths, so much so that the number of sun gods in the box garden almost occupies the largest number of gods and Buddhas.
In contrast, there are only a handful of gods and Buddhas who truly possess "solar sovereignty". Among the sun gods, it is known that there is only one White Yasha, and there is also Karji, who has fallen into a demon king.
As a participant in the bet of "Ophiuchus", Cangzhen does not want to compete with some superfluous opponents for rewards.
Pale reaction fell into the eyes of the Halloween Queen, who immediately explained Utu's joining.
"Although some of the participants present did not have 'solar sovereignty,' they offered equal bounty as a bet. As a punishment for modifying the request without authorization, participants who take out the 'Sovereign of the Sun' can use other bounties as a bet if they fail. ”
