Chapter 11: The King of Steel Bones Doesn't Eat People
......
Five days later, in the middle of the night, on the white bridge on the border, a bunch of lifeless black shadows stood on the bridge, several of them were still floating around, and it was particularly eerie and terrifying.
Luo Qiu waved his hand impatiently, as if chasing flies: "Okay, okay, you guys go back quickly, my King of Steel Bones has been crisscrossing the continent for thousands of years, and I haven't seen any scenes? ”
Some people still wanted to persuade them, but one of the undead said, "King, don't you want to find something fun, let's go out and catch a few song and dance troupes and come back for you to play, so don't go out." ”
"Yes, yes, Wang, the bard has also been caught and specially told you about the anecdotes of all parties in the mainland. ”
"Yes, you can also catch rare beasts, I'll catch a dragon tomorrow and come back for you to play, how about it?"
Five days ago, he said that he was going to travel to the mainland, but five days later, he still hasn't been able to make the trip, just because these guys are disobedient and have delayed the progress, otherwise he might be hundreds of kilometers away now.
Too lazy to talk to these guys anymore, Luo Qiu waved his hand, walked to the other side of the bridge without looking back, and yelled as he walked: "Don't come with me." ”
A group of high-level undead creatures sighed, helpless.
Almost at the other end of the bridge, Luo Qiu turned around and said, "Daryan, you go back too." ”
A pitch-black shadow floated on the white bridge deck, and finally condensed into Dorion, who was dressed in matte black armor and hung two thin-bladed short knives close to his arms, and he looked very powerful at first glance.
He said expressionlessly: "I am your guard, where you are, where I am." ”
"I'm not going out to fight, I'm going to ask for some kind of guards, go back and go back. ”
"I'm your bodyguard, I haven't left you for seven thousand years, and you've been a little weird lately. Dorian looked at Luo Qiu with a scrutinizing gaze.
Having said that, what else can Luo Qiu say?
was stared at in a panic, Luo Qiu pretended to be angry and said: "I'm in a disguised state now, forget it, I want to follow you, but I must not show myself in front of people, so as not to expose my identity." ”
"As you wish, Your Majesty. Dorian said, turning into a shadow again.
With heavy steps, Luo Qiu stepped out of the steel bone collar, he was ready to go out to wave, and now there is Dorian following, he can't wave casually, and his words and deeds must also conform to the identity of the king of steel bones.
In the environment of the steel bone collar, he can barely hold it and enter the human society, in the familiar environment, can he not show his stuff? Is it really seen that he is not the king of the steel bones, will Darian kill the lord?
At the other end of the white bridge, looking at Luo Qiu's back as he disappeared into the night, a group of high-level undead creatures looked at each other.
"What now?"
"What else can I do? The king's safety is paramount, and he sends people to follow him from afar, ready to support him. ”
"But the king's disguise is perfect now, and sending someone to follow him will be exposed to the risk. ”
"Then send a team that is equally perfectly camouflaged. ”
"Come out, Knight of the Shadows. ”
"Hey, here's my spell, don't mess around. ”
A group of shadows appeared silently in the night, it was twelve undead knights on pitch-black horses, their bodies were condensed like substance, but they were filled with a rich black aura, only two eyes were surging with blue light, holding huge black scythes, like the god of death harvesting life.
"Ange, be sure to ensure the safety of the king, the human world is not peaceful. ”
The undead knight who was called Anger did not respond, but habitually clamped the horse's belly, and the entire horse team instantly accelerated, and after running more than ten meters away, the porphyry disappeared without a trace.
"The Black Knight has returned, and natural disasters have befallen ....... ”
"Well, do you remember this legend? Isn't that what your mother scared you when you were a human?"
"Ahem, ahem, don't all human mothers like to scare children like this....... ”
............
At the other end of the Hengduan Mountains, in Caiyun Village, two little girls, Barty and Lina, walked together in the woods, holding baskets and picking up rotten leaves and mushrooms in the soil.
They are all villagers of Caiyun Village, Barty is eleven or twelve years old, Lina is seven or eight years old, and the young Lina is obviously not paying attention to the mushrooms, picking them up and picking them up, and even missing a lot of mushrooms in conspicuous places, which makes Barty very angry.
"Lina, be careful, you won't give you food if you go back like this. Barty reprimanded loudly.
Lina didn't take Barty's threat to heart, she knew very well that her sister was just scaring her, and if there was anything good to eat, her sister would rather not eat it herself than leave it to her.
"Sister, it's not a big deal to pick up a day and a half less, why don't we go back secretly, don't you want to see them judge the witch?" Lina looked at Barty expectantly with her eyes shining.
"I don't want to. Barty showed a hesitant look on her face, but her tone was very resolute: "And Sister Melissa is not a witch, even if she is really a witch, she is not a bad person, those adults are too hateful." ”
"Why isn't it a bad person? Corpse, Sister Melissa resurrected her brother's corpse, isn't she a shrine maiden? The resurrected corpse is not Seber at all, he doesn't know us at all. Lina asked curiously.
Hearing the name Seber, Barty's expression was also a little shaken, the Seber who was rotten all over, stiff in action, and could only let out a dying roar, was really too frightening, Melissa who single-handedly created this kind of monster was not an evil witch?
Legend has it that the shrine maiden manipulates corpses, sacrifices the living, spreads plagues, and eats children, which is very evil.
But legends are legends after all, and Barty has never seen a real shrine maiden, but she knows the former Melissa sister, who is a gentle, kind, beautiful and hardworking woman, who has never resented anyone even if she is poor, and supports herself and her brother with her own hands.
If it weren't for the death of her brother Seber from a sudden illness, no one would have associated Melissa with the legendary evil witch, and on the third night of Seber's death, Melissa quietly dug up her brother's body and resurrected him.
Originally, no one found out, but the resurrected Seber roared like madness, and the whole village ran around, and when he saw people, he rushed over and howled, and frightened the whole village, and finally the village chief and several strong hunters subdued Seber, and decided to judge Melissa openly during the day, and if there was no accident, they must have both burned together.
Barty thinks this is too hasty, Melissa only resurrected her own brother and didn't hurt anyone, how can she be judged to be evil?
Unfortunately, her opinion was meaningless, and she was probably afraid of frightening the children, who were all being expelled from the village under the pretext that they would not be allowed to return until the trial was over.
Seeing that her sister had been shaken, Lina hurriedly said: "Let's go, let's go back secretly and see how they judge, I haven't seen the trial yet." ”
The age gap between Lina and Melissa is a bit big, and they have little contact with each other, so they don't care about Melissa's safety, but are interested in the trial itself.
"No, I can't. Barty couldn't do anything, but didn't want to go back and watch Melissa be burned to death, so she sternly rejected Lina's proposal and threatened:
"The witch is the servant of the King of Steel, and it doesn't matter if Sister Melissa is not a witch, if she is really a witch, the adults will judge her, and the King of Steelbone will eat them all, do you want to go back and be eaten by the King of Steel?"
Lina's face turned pale with fright, she didn't know that Barty was scaring her, and thought that the King of Steel Bones was really coming.
At this moment, a deep voice came from the depths of the woods: "Don't be afraid, the King of Steel Bones does not eat people." ”
