Chapter 179: Knight's Oath
Wang Chixiao's mysterious and mysterious, completely unexplained act of collecting mysterious "purple qi" that could not be explained by science lasted only a few dozen minutes before it was interrupted, and as the small door in the living room was opened again, Christine and Cecilia walked over, although her movements were still very slow, and even her body was still a little unstable, but Christine did not let Cecilia help her, but walked over by herself.
What surprised Wang Chixiao and Qin Ningmei the most was the clothes on the two of them, I saw that both of them had changed into white robes with a very medieval style, the robes were embroidered with exquisite patterns, and there was even a long white cloak behind them, and the bright red sword-shaped calyx cross pattern was very conspicuous on the cloak, revealing a strong religious color and solemn atmosphere, which was obviously a special costume such as a dress.
Christine and Cecilia came to Wang Chixiao one after the other, and seeing their solemn expressions, Wang Chixiao didn't ask out loud but quietly watched what they were going to do.
I saw Christine kneeling down on one knee in front of him, but Qin Ningmei was startled, and then Cecilia also knelt down on one knee behind Christine, and her right hand clenched her fist against her chest and put on a posture as if she was being ordered.
Immediately, a series of words sounded from Christine's mouth, but the problem was that Christine did not speak Esperanto, not even English, Wang Chixiao could hear that this seemed to be Spanish, and the pronunciation syllables of a Hispanic mercenary who used to be in the Silent Blade spoke very similarly, but he had no talent for language, and he didn't understand it at all.
I couldn't help but use Spanish, and even Christine's expression was very solemn and reverent, as if she was chanting some kind of sacred prayer, she kept chanting like this for more than three minutes before stopping, and then raised her eyes and stared straight at Wang Chixiao, and said: "The Santiago knight's oath of allegiance has been completed, Lord Wang Chixiao, please accept my allegiance!" ”
As soon as her voice fell, Cecilia behind her immediately handed over a delicate small dagger, only to see Christine grab the dagger and slash at the ** palm of her left hand, and the blood immediately overflowed, and then she poked out the dagger and handed it to Wang Chixiao.
"My lord, this is the allegiance of our Santiago knights, as long as you fuse your own blood with the blood of the Grand Master, the ceremony is completed, and the Santiago knights will swear allegiance to you to the death!"
Cecilia said in a deep voice, her voice was not pure and ethereal, it was full of solemnity, but Wang Chixiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Christine to make an agreement so solemn, and even the ancient rites came out, as for such an exaggeration?
Although there was some slander in his heart, Wang Chixiao, who knew Christine's thin skin and arrogant surname, did not dare to slack off, and took the dagger handed by Christine and cut the palm of his right hand with a gourd in the same way, and then grabbed Christine's left hand and pasted the wound on the palms of the two together.
"Ahh
Seeing this, Cecilia suddenly let out a low snort, her eyes widened at once, and her small mouth opened wide as if she was very surprised, and she just wanted to say something but was stopped by a look from Christine.
"The ceremony is complete!"
Christine grabbed Wang Chixiao's hand and touched it on her forehead, let out a long sigh of relief, and then stood up suddenly, and said: "Okay, my knight's oath has been issued, our agreement will start today, I will serve you for the next ten years from now on, but service is service, you don't want to make any excessive demands, I have the right to refuse orders that I am unwilling to perform." ”
"Cecilia, call it a day, go home!"
After speaking, she turned around and left, in stark contrast to the solemn and pious attitude at the beginning, not to mention Qin Ningmei, even Cecilia was stunned, seeing that she walked out of the distance a little slowly, she hurriedly saluted Wang Chixiao and chased after her.
Is it necessary to make such a play, as if acting in a costume stage play?
Glancing at the wound on his palm, Wang Chixiao shook his head helplessly, the wound healed quickly in the surging vitality and true qi, and there was not even a trace of scarring left.
What he didn't know was that when she returned to her dormitory, Christine held on to the wall at the first time so that she didn't fall, her body was still too weak, the series of actions just now had exhausted her strength, and it was all thanks to the support of her extraordinary will that she did not fall in front of Wang Chixiao, she would never want to be presented in front of Wang Chixiao in that state, even if the two of them had the most intimate contact relationship between men and women.
Cecilia hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "Grand Master, why are you so reluctant to do this, the knight's oath ceremony doesn't have to be held today......
"Since it is a promise that has been promised, it must be completed, I can't make people think that I want to go back, saying that it is ten years of service for Wang Chixiao, and I will never break my word."
Christine said categorically, but Cecilia seemed to remember something: "But...... However, what you and Lord Wang Chixiao are engaged in is not a blood-melting ritual of knight allegiance, but a covenant ......."
"Okay, don't talk about Cecilia, Wang Chixiao doesn't understand anything, he just ran into it randomly, it's just a blood-melting ceremony!"
Christine interrupted Cecilia, but a hint of blush appeared on her face, and she looked particularly moving.
In the ancient tradition of the knights of San Diego, the so-called blood melting ceremony knight must cut the palm of his hand, but as the loyal monarch, he only needs to prick his finger and drop a drop of blood into the blood of the knight's wound, that is, the so-called "melting blood", otherwise, if you have to accept dozens or hundreds or even more knight allegiance at the same time, the lord will not bleed to death.
In the ancient tradition of the Santiago knights, this is called the "covenant of agreement", and the two knights do this to each other as if they would henceforth be treated as brothers of flesh and blood, similar to the Oriental knot Jinlan, but if the two sides are a man and a woman, it is different.
You must know that this kind of covenant oath has another name called "marriage vow", and the men and women of the Santiago Knights have to perform this ritual of butting the wounds of their hands when they sign the marriage contract under the auspices of the priest, so that from now on the blood will be connected by blood and life and death, so Cecilia will be so surprised after seeing Wang Chixiao's actions before.
Wang Chixiao naturally didn't know about this ancient ritual that only belonged to the knights of Santiago, but the Grand Master should know it, why......
As if sensing that ambiguous gaze in Cecilia's eyes, Christine snorted and forced herself to walk to the bedroom, but as soon as she saw the bed in the bedroom, she couldn't help but think of last night's scene again, and her face immediately turned red.
Wang Chixiao seems to have said that he will have another treatment tonight, and it will last for several days......
The temperature of her body soared at the thought of this, and she almost felt steam rising above her head.
"Chixiao, there is news from the Apocalypse Council, you will come to me immediately."
When Wang Chixiao was eating breakfast with Qin Ningmei, Hua Qingyi's phone suddenly called, he hurriedly said "sorry" to Qin Ningmei, and then rushed to Hua Qingyi's office as fast as possible.
Outside the office, Nova's position was vacant, and although another young and beautiful female officer temporarily took her place, she moved another table to put next to Nova's desk instead of using Nova's desk and chairs, which shows that Nova still has the respect of these colleagues.
When Wang Chixiao walked into the office, Hua Qingyi stood up as soon as he saw him, flashed in front of him and stared at his face for a while, and then said, "Did something happen to you after you went back last night?" Why is the vitality lost so much, don't tell me that you went to bully the girl from the Penglai Qin family. ”
Strictly speaking, Hua Qingyi's qigong cultivation is not much inferior to him in the realm, but it is slightly inferior to the total amount of true qi, and it is not as good as his "Haoqi True Strength"**so**, but when it comes to vision and experience, Hua Qingyi is definitely above him.
"Sister Hua laughed, Ningmei is my junior sister, how could I ......"
Wang Chixiao's words hadn't finished yet, but he saw Hua Qingyi's eyes suddenly light up, and said, "Ha, I understand, you and Christine have a dual cultivation treatment, right?" ”
Wang Chixiao coughed a few times suddenly, even with his calm and rational mind, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when Hua Qingyi gave him such a bite to break the double cultivation behavior, but Hua Qingyi said: "What are you embarrassed about in front of me, I am your elder, and I also helped you wash your ass when you were just born." ”
Although it was No. 2 who was "washed by Hua Qingyi", Wang Chixiao's face was also a little unbearable, and he said at the moment: "Sister Hua, you should get down to business, is there any news about Sarah?" ”
Glancing at him, Hua Qingyi still decided to let him go, and said: "The Apocalypse Council has already replied, I have too many scruples to attack them directly, how can they have the guts to offend me, just as we guessed yesterday, the kidnapping of Sarah and Nova is all Lestrade's personal actions, and the Apocalypse Council itself is not involved." ”
"In fact, since I led the fleet to rescue you with great fanfare, all the plans of the Apocalypse Council against you have stopped, and they dare not attack you again, but the actions of the Leora family have been planned for more than two years, and they are mainly betrayers of the Leora family itself, but they can't stop if they want to, but they still have some scruples and do not send an elite team to participate, so your rescue operation will be so easy."
"Alfred. Lestrade is the chief scientist of the Apocalypse Council, but his position in the Apocalypse Council is very special, the reading power is extremely autonomous, and the high-level members of the council can't control him, and even he has his own personal armed forces of the Apocalypse Council, this time the action against Sarah and them The Apocalypse Council is unaware of what they say, of course, we just listen to what they say. ”
"They just passed the buck?"
A flash of murderous intent suddenly flashed in Wang Chixiao's eyes, maybe Narestrade was very strong, but the Apocalypse Council didn't know anything about it...... What about liars!
"They didn't dare to play tricks in front of me, how could they do it without spitting out some dry goods, so they gave me an address, which was Lestrade's own private research center, and where he had been hiding for decades, Sarah and the others were probably taken there, this research center is located in the deep sea a hundred meters below the ice in the Arctic Circle, and it is a very secret underwater base."
Hua Qingyi made a few clicks on the computer in front of him, and a white image of ice immediately appeared on the screen: "The Apocalypse Council gave the coordinates of the underwater research center, and I have scanned it with a satellite, but I haven't found any abnormalities, so either the coordinates given to me by the Apocalypse Council are fake, or the camouflage is excellent, and it can't be detected by satellite remote sensing alone." ”
"The Navy has a base in the Arctic Circle, and I've asked that base to send elite special forces to conduct field reconnaissance, so it should be quick to get results. Celestial, get ready, Sarah and Nova were kidnapped to help you, and it's up to you to bring them back. ”
"It's my duty, Sister Hua!"
Wang Chixiao nodded, and then said, "Sister Hua, if this information is true, then really no longer pursue the Apocalypse Council?" ”
"If I say I won't pursue it, will you give up Chixiao?"
Hua Qingyi smiled indifferently, but Wang Chixiao said softly: "They have repeatedly hurt the people around me, no matter what, I don't want to give them such a chance again." ”
"Isn't this enough, you have a personal vendetta, even if you destroy the Apocalypse Council, it's your own personal matter, and it has nothing to do with me at all."
Hua Qingyi's gentle smile became more and more beautiful, but Wang Chixiao saw more and more that the belly behind her beautiful smile was really dark......
=======================
"Grand Master, this is your favorite medium-rare fried veal steak and paella, please use it."
Cecilia opened the lid of the exquisite silver plate on the table, and respectfully said to Christine sitting at the table, although she is also a descendant of the great nobles, she has been cultivated as a follower of Christine since she was a child, and has a very good cooking skill, Christine's diet has always been in charge of her, but Christine has only been able to eat some of the simplest liquid food for these days, and even if it is restored today, because of the need to adapt, breakfast and lunch are also very simple, When it was time for dinner, Cecilia could finally show off her skills.
Spain's special paella is world-famous, Cecilia's craftsmanship is not to mention, just looking at the color and smelling its fragrance is enough, but Christine didn't eat it immediately, and played with the silver fork and said, "What did Lord Wang Chixiao do today?" ”
Because of the knightly oath of allegiance, even if she was not angry, Christine had to call Wang Chixiao "adult", and then she immediately said: "I'm just asking casually, if you don't know, forget it." ”
"I haven't seen any adults today."
Seeming to see through the heart of her own Grand Master, Cecilia smiled lightly and said, "I asked Miss Qin Ningmei, and she said that the adults were too tired last night, so they spent the whole day regulating their luck. ”
Overworked......
Christine's face immediately flushed, and she coughed a few times to hide her surname: "Then you go and see, if he finishes pranayama, invite him over to dinner together, as a thank you gift to thank him, of course, if he doesn't want to, then forget it." ”
"I know, I know, if I knew that the Grand Master was going to invite you, I should have prepared candles."
Cecilia smiled "grin", and then flew out like a butterfly before Christine went crazy, she grew up with Christine, and her feelings for Christine were naturally very deep, and now that Christine has regained her mobility, she dares to make some jokes about her Grand Master when she is relaxed.
Did he really show it so obviously that Cecilia could see something?
Christine bit her lip, but the shyness was replaced by another mixture of joy and anticipation.
The emotion was foreign to her, but it was also ...... Enjoy!
She quickly ran to the big mirror to check her clothes and appearance: the white retro-style floor-length dress handmade by the top private tailor is not only elegant but also can highlight her figure, very good, the bright blonde long hair that has been tied into a neat ponytail is combed into a very mature and graceful bun on the head, which matches the long skirt very well, and has a very noble demeanor, she gave a score of eighty-nine in her heart.
Shouldn't I put on some more makeup......
Looking at her uncovered face in the mirror, Christine hesitated, she had never had the habit of wearing makeup, which was the only aristocratic lady she had not followed, but with her own beauty and skin type, she didn't seem to need to rely on cosmetics to beautify, of course, she herself had never cared about this.
I never carry cosmetics with me, so can I get a little from Cecilia......
Ah, Christine, what are you thinking, you actually have to make up for a stinky man, even if he is the lord you swore allegiance to, but there is no need to serve people in Israel, and this kind of allegiance is only ten years, when the time comes, what should you do, is it worth bothering to please such a man, isn't it just that you have had a ** intimate contact, and you should be bitten by a mosquito, what age can you use it so much, maybe Wang Chixiao doesn't care at all.
Christine woke up and couldn't help but curse herself a few times, but when she looked at herself in the mirror again, a sunset-like flush appeared on her face, and her eyes seemed to be surging with water, and her expression, look, and aura looked a little unfamiliar.
Can you have such an expression and demeanor?
Just when she was feeling sorry for herself and admiring herself, the sound of the door opening came from behind her. (To be continued.) )
