Chapter 129: Divine Shield
(Read the full text without pop-ups)
If Li Qing knew that Angelina had made up him and Chu Lingfeng into a young couple who eloped, or that it was a fairy tale character like a knight and a princess, he would have to laugh over. [.starter]
As a black knight, he doesn't protect a princess.
He is protecting the Demon King of Destruction, whose notoriety is widely spread among the Lords!
Even if he wants to elope, he will elope with Su Su......
Destroying his share of dinner like a whirlwind, Li Qing licked his lips unfinished, and couldn't help but look at Chu Lingfeng's side.
Coincidentally, Chu Lingfeng also finished eating his share, and looked over to Li Qing with unsatisfied feelings.
Obviously, both of them wanted to see if there was anything left on each other's plates.
Not surprisingly, both found that each other's plates had already become clean.
After that, both of them noticed each other's gaze. So they glanced at each other, and at the same time showed a smile that the hero saw slightly the same and sympathized with each other.
And Angelina, who was opposite the two, had only now slowly eaten a fifth of her food.
I didn't have enough to eat, and watching others eat was the most painful thing. Li Qing frowned, hesitated slightly, suddenly made up his mind, and said categorically: "I'll cook two catties of noodles again!" ”
"Great!" Chu Lingfeng resolutely agreed.
So Li Qing went to cook noodles again, and he didn't mind that Angelina regarded him and Chu Lingfeng as rice buckets.
……
After dinner, Angelina took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the corners of her mouth with graceful movements.
Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng each took out a napkin, wiped their mouths and crumpled the tissue, and threw it in front of the stove next to them.
Seeing the snow-white and soft tissue, and smelling the faint fragrance on the tissue, Angelina couldn't help twitching the corners of her eyes, her pupils shrank slightly, and her fingers involuntarily clenched the handkerchief.
"What a luxury! It's too extravagant! Wipe your mouth with such soft and snow-white paper! It's still incense-smoked paper! Throw it away when you're done! It's not a pity at all! Judging by their skillful and natural movements, it is clear that they used to do this every day! ”
She cried out in her heart, "The king is not so extravagant! These two people, which princess and knight of which country, how can they be so extravagant? To what extent is the country where they live to be rich and extravagant? Incredible, unimaginable! ”
At this moment, she suddenly felt that compared to Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng, she seemed to be a hillbilly. I don't understand their "extravagant" lifestyle.
Li Qing didn't know how to read minds, so he naturally didn't know how rich and powerful he and Chu Lingfeng's behavior of wiping their mouths with lavender-scented napkins would be in Angelina's eyes. It even made Angelina a little ashamed of herself.
He smiled and said to Angelina: "Miss Angelina, the dinner is a little simpler, but the conditions here are limited, and we can't do anything about it. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality. ”
"No, I'm eating well." Angelina looked at Li Qing with complicated eyes, and said, "The special foods in your hometown are very delicious, and the taste of the condiments is also very mellow, this dinner is ...... It's the best meal I've had since the disaster. Thank you for your hospitality. ”
In fact, in terms of taste alone, Angelina has never tasted white salt so mellow. The rest of the condiments are also very mellow and evocative.
However, Angelina always felt that although the condiments tasted good, the food itself seemed to be missing something.
She couldn't tell what was missing. I only vaguely feel that what is missing in food seems to be a relatively abstract concept of "spirit".
She didn't know that the dry food carried by Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng was all food on the earth. All kinds of condiments and condiments produced by the earth have a pure taste and no peculiar smell because of the advanced manufacturing process. Salt, for example, does not have a hint of astringency. However, ingredients such as noodles, ham sausages, and luncheon meat lack the natural "aura" compared to the ingredients in the Calondo continent.
The earth is completely devoid of heaven and earth aura, and the agricultural products on the earth naturally lack all the "spirit" of the agricultural products of the Calondo continent. In terms of taste, it is also inferior to the ingredients of the Calondo continent, and it does not have that natural and delicious taste. It's just covered up by the mellow flavor of the condiment.
Angelina didn't say what she thought about the food in her heart, and asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”
"What's next......" Li Qing frowned, and asked instead of answering: "We haven't thought about it either." What about you? Angelina, why did you come to the temple at all costs? ”
Hearing Li Qing's question, Angelina's expression suddenly darkened, obviously from the "do whatever it takes" in Li Qing's words, thinking of her giant eagle.
In fact, she had long known that something had happened to her beloved giant eagle, and she just forced herself not to think about it.
And now when she thinks of the giant eagle, Angelina can't help but have a slight redness in her eyes, and a hint of mist in her light blue beautiful eyes.
Li Qing looked at her and looked like she was about to cry, and after a little thought, he understood what she was sad about, and said, "Angelina, don't be too sad. Your fellow eagle is a good fellow, and his bravery is admirable. I've buried it in the yard, and you can go and see it later. ”
Angelina pursed her lips, took a deep breath, held back her tears, glanced at Li Qing gratefully, and said, "Thank you, Bruce, thank you, thank you for helping me bury Lucian...... Lucien is the name of my companion, who has been with me since I was four years old, who has been with me for fourteen years, who is my most loyal companion and my best friend......"
At this point, she finally couldn't hold back her tears, and while crying, she choked up and said, "But now it's gone to me...... Even though I had a reason to come to the temple, I killed it anyway......"
Chu Lingfeng took out a tissue and handed it over, comforting him softly: "Don't be sad, Angelina, Lu Xian has desperately escorted you to the temple, and has completed its mission. You have to be strong and work hard to achieve your goal so that you don't fail its sacrifice. ”
"Thank you." Angelina took the tissue, wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, held back her sad tears again, smiled reluctantly at Chu Lingfeng, and said, "You're right, I have to be strong......"
After a pause, her red eyes stared at Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng fixedly for a while, gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and said the purpose of her coming here: "In this temple of the guardian god, there is an artifact called 'Divine Blessing Shield'. I'm here to find the artifact. ”
After speaking, she looked at Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng with some apprehension, carefully observing their expressions.
Although, Angelina thought that with the identities of Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng, with the extravagance shown in their various small details, it was impossible not to have seen the artifact. It stands to reason that they should know the special features of the Dao artifact, and they will not be tempted by the artifact.
Because all artifacts have very strict conditions for use - if they are artifacts, they must be items created by true gods. It wasn't meant to be for mortals.
Even if the strongest among mortals, or even the legendary-level powerhouse, want to forcibly use the artifact, it will cause great damage to their bodies, and may even lead to death.
There are only two ways to use the artifact at a relatively low cost: one is to get the authorization of the artifact's owner, that is, the true god who created the artifact; The other is to have a blood relationship with the true God.
Even if the conditions for the use of the artifact are met, mortals will still pay a certain price for using the artifact. It's just that the cost is smaller than that of forcible use. At the very least, life safety can be guaranteed.
And the harsh conditions for the use of the artifact are the main reasons why Angelina dares to boldly say the purpose of her trip.
But despite this, she was still a little worried after saying the purpose.
After all, even if Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng had seen the artifact and knew the restrictions on the use of the Dao artifact, they were not allowed to have some special habits.
For example, collecting artifacts is not for use, but only to enrich one's collection room.
And this kind of collecting, all aristocrats, there will be some some. Even if it is something that is useless to themselves, as long as it has an extraordinary origin, some nobles will try their best to get it.
Angelina is now worried that Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng also have such a fetish.
Therefore, after saying the purpose, she immediately looked at Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng intently, observing their micro-expressions.
Although she is not very old, she is a young lady of a big aristocratic family, she has been in contact with all kinds of people since she was a child, and she has also seen and even experienced all kinds of deceit between nobles, and her ability to observe her face is not small.
What reassured her was that after she said the purpose of this trip, Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng did not show the slightest greed - Li Qing's strength was stronger than her, and if she deliberately disguised it, she might be able to hide her observation. But Chu Lingfeng's strength is far inferior to her, even if she is good at disguise, some subtle reactions of her body will instinctively betray her thoughts.
But under Angelina's careful observation, she didn't notice any unusual reaction on Chu Lingfeng's body. She only saw a lot of curiosity in Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng.
"Artifact? Divine Shield? Li Qing looked at Angelina with a curious look on his face and asked, "Is it amazing?" ”
Li Qing was indeed only curious about the artifact, and had no intention of taking it for himself.
Although he had never seen an artifact, he had heard Su Su talk about the restrictions on the use of artifacts. If you want to forcibly use an artifact that does not belong to you without hindreviation, the only way is to reach the level of a true god.
Or, there is a powerful true god who helps him wash away the imprint of the original owner of the artifact.
And Su Su also said that he would help Li Qing tailor a set of god costumes in the future. Of course, the premise is that Su Su's strength recovers to a certain level and finds extraordinary materials that can create artifacts.
The materials that could be used to create artifacts were not trivial, and Li Qing had never expected to find precious materials of that grade on this journey to the other world.
However, if Su Su regains a certain strength, or if Li Qing himself is strong enough to a certain extent, it should not be much difficult to find the materials.
Li Qing, who had hope and knew the restrictions on the use of Dao artifacts, certainly wouldn't have the slightest greed for the artifact that Angelina said.
Chu Lingfeng didn't understand the artifact.
However, she has a good heart and only pursues martial arts, and she wants to enter the Tao with martial arts and achieve Jindan Dao. I don't pay much attention to external objects. Even the so-called artifact couldn't attract her mind.
Therefore, she also just asked curiously: "When the clergy of this temple retreated, they cleaned the temple so cleanly that they didn't even leave a piece of paper, and they still had an artifact left?" How so? Could it be that the clergy in the temple didn't know the existence of that artifact? ”.
