Chapter 43: Waiting
As long as it's not a prank, there will definitely be no problem with the stand-in, after all, it doesn't look like it, and Phantom Shiyang himself should know best.
In early spring, Lionheart City was still warm and cold, the attack of the Winged Demon Clan had not yet come, and the city was still full of peace and tranquility at this time, and a large number of hunters who were ready to go to the Luo Lan Forest rested here, ready to take advantage of the season when everything recovered, and the aborigines were enjoying the comfortable time before the war.
Today is the Summoner's Day in Lionheart, and all the summoners gather in the city square to pray for hundreds of future summoners, who will soon receive the blessing of the beast god, which is the most important moment of their lives.
After success, they will be led to an extreme direction, the most noble mage profession in the Oath Kingdom and even the Northwest Continent, the summoner, has countless resources inclined to them, and there is a complete cultivation system for them to choose from, and they will reshape their lives.
And all of this does not require them to pay a single silver coin, it is all borne by the Oath Kingdom, which is the prerogative of summoners in this land, as for the amount of funding, it depends entirely on the individual's talent.
Of course, the loser naturally gets nothing, and every opportunity to receive the blessing of the beast god is only once, and failure is destined to miss the summoner, but this year's blessing of the beast god in Lionheart City is slightly different.
After hearing that the city lord's waste son will also receive the blessing of the beast god in the city square, everyone speculated that this year's blessing of the beast god is likely to be presided over by the city lord Phantom Bei himself.
Of course, no one can say for sure about such a thing, but if it is really presided over by the top summoner of the Oath Kingdom like Phantom North, it will undoubtedly increase the success rate of those children in opening the Spirit Beast Domain a lot.
The Spirit Beast Domain is the most important and special place for summoners, and every summoner will only open the Spirit Beast Domain when they become a summoner, which is their unique place to store spirit beasts, and this uniqueness lies in the fact that the Spirit Beast Domain will be given a special skill by the Beast God when it is opened.
The more basic skills are Recovery, Sharpness, Amplification, Feeding, ...... These skills will make the spirit beast in it gain buffs, recovery skills can make the injured spirit beast speed up the recovery of the injury, and sharpness will make the spirit beast summoned from the spirit beast domain increase its physical strength for a period of time.
The amplification will increase the magic attribute of the spirit beast, and feeding is the most practical of all the basic skills, it can restore the physical strength of the spirit beast to a certain extent, reduce their hunger, and save a lot of spiritual food for the summoner.
However, these are only basic skills, and there are some more powerful and functional spirit beast domain skills, such as the flame element in Phantom North is an extremely powerful elemental skill, his spirit beast domain is full of magma and flames, and the fire spirit beast stays in it with a very high gain.
At the same time, the Flame Elemental Spirit Beast Domain can also take the initiative to release a powerful forbidden spell lava fire rain, the power is related to the summoner's own strength, but there are advantages and disadvantages, such a spirit beast domain also restricts the impossibility of signing a wood-based spirit beast in the Phantom North.
And some powerful spirit beast domains will even have two or more skills, but the root cause of the spirit beast domain is only a space used to store spirit beasts, and when it is first opened, the bigger the better, which is also the most basic factor in evaluating the talent of summoners.
After all, it is not only the powerful spirit beasts that determine the strength of the summoner, but also the number of them, although with the increase of the summoner's level, the space of the spirit beast domain will also increase, but this growth is also closely related to the initial size.
With the expectation in their hearts, hundreds of children of the same age as the Illusory Yang came to the city square early to wait, waiting for the Illusory Sun? They will not wait for this waste anymore! They opened their eyes and waited for the Illusory North, hoping that he could come to the stage and preside over the Beast God Blessing Ceremony for them.
However, when it comes to the people who are waiting for the Illusion of the Sun, there are also Bai, Wu, and Qi came to the square early, and there were nearly a thousand assassins who were in a perfect state with them.
These assassins were all mixed in the crowd, and among them, there was a top master of the Eight Heavens of the Transformation Realm, who forcibly suppressed the realm to the realm and entered the Lionheart City after taking the Sangong Pill.
Needless to say, their purpose was that the Holy Heaven Emperor had put all the power of this assassination in the hands of Bai Siren, and of course it was not surprising that such an approach would take place.
Although the head of the guard of the eightfold realm also infiltrated Lionheart City after taking the Sangong Pill, he was a rough person in his own province who was unfamiliar with the place, and he was definitely not as good as a local snake like Bai Siren when he played conspiracy and tricks.
However, the naΓ―ve prince far underestimated the desire to survive of Bai, Wu, and Qi, and Wu Zhiyan and Qi Han were reluctant to participate after receiving the order, after all, the Holy Heavenly Emperor was not their master, but after thinking about it for many days, they reluctantly agreed under Bai Siren's plea.
The two of them can't afford to be provoked by the Great Prince of Shengtian, and the masters of these two people, Qi Tu and Jianmu, to put it bluntly, are just dogs raised by the Great Prince, and they are completely angry with him, but Qi Tu and Jianmu are currently weak and have no time to manage the two of them in Lionheart City.
The two of them secretly thought about it and made a decision, and they disobeyed it! On the surface, they accepted the order and agreed to Bai Siren's request, but before the eldest prince's people came, the two made up their minds to break Bai Siren over in order to save their lives.
It is impossible for the two of them, who have been rooted in Lionheart City for many years, not to understand that after killing the Illusory Liberation Yang on such an occasion, there is only a dead end waiting for them.
It is impossible to run away, let alone a thousand people! 10,000 people can't run out, that is the center of the city! The center of the city, the ancestor of the Holy Heaven Empire!
Even if you have a lot of people, but when you run to the city gate, not to mention whether the city gate is closed or not, the army of the northwest battalion has already surrounded Lionheart City, and the northwest camp is less than a kilometer away from Lionheart City in a straight line, you run from the center of the city to the city gate, not to mention running is flying, you have to fly seventy or eighty kilometers, even if you are a bird, you have to weigh whether the wings are big enough!
Besides, the 100-meter-high walls of Lionheart City, birds don't fly in, you think that if you fly out, you have to be shot down if you ride any bird, and the archers of Lionheart City, who have been dealing with the Winged Demon Clan all year round and have experienced a hundred battles, are not vegetarians.
If we were close to the city gate, our brothers would not be the greedy people who were afraid of death, so we would have done it with you! Anyway, we are this fate, do what we do early and late, but you ...... It's not that the brothers are not righteous enough, they really can't do business at a loss.
The two of them silently hypnotized themselves before fooling Bai Siren, but Bai Siren, who was sitting upright, had a generous expression on his face, and kept feeding the two of them chicken soup......
Bai Siren and them have also been in Lionheart City for more than ten years, and it is impossible not to see that this is a dead-end business, but the loyalty to the eldest prince is greater than the careful thinking of sacrificing his life at this time, and it is really not in vain that the eldest prince's trust in him is not in vain.
But as the two of them spoke, the situation became a little delicate, what did you Bai Siren master do to the two of us! We mixed well in Lionheart City, and finally coaxed the people above, your words, my brother has to walk with you, what good things do you think!
The two couldn't help but feel resentful when they thought of this, and they couldn't scruple about their friendship for more than ten years.
"Brother Bai, you don't have to be so pessimistic, maybe the three of us brothers will be able to fight their way out and escape afterwards!" Qi Han persuaded with bad intentions.
"Don't persuade me, we all know what the situation is, when the two of you try your best to rush out of the city, my brother will cover for you!" Bai Siren said very tragically.
"What do you say? We three dogs...... The three of us must share blessings and difficulties!" Wu Zhizhi whispered: "Big brother, didn't you find the loophole in the eldest prince's reply to you?"
"What?" Bai Siren took the letter and handed it to Wu Zhizhi.
"Look here, what the Great Prince said is that once the Illusion Yang has any talent to show, he will be killed on the spot. Wu Zhizhi pointed out one of them to Bai Siren.
Bai Siren was puzzled after seeing it: "Is there any problem?"
Wu Zhizhi explained: "There may not be anything wrong with other people, and the meaning of this is undoubtedly to kill the Illusory Liberation Yang when he opens the Spirit Beast Domain, but it is not for us! β
Qi Han continued: "So, unless the Illusory Yang has a particularly amazing talent to deter everyone on the spot, we have the right to stand still. β
Bai Siren objected: "How can this be, the eldest prince obviously gave an order to kill, unless the illusion Yang Zhen can't open the Spirit Beast Domain to become a summoner." β
"The general has disobeyed the military orders outside, does Brother Bai think that even if the waste of the Phantom Liberation Yang is extremely reluctant to open the Spirit Beast Domain, the Spirit Beast Domain skill is only the most rubbish basic skill, and it is worth our lives to kill it?" Wu Zhi asked.
Bai Siren hesitated, he was not willing to die because of such a waste, but it was really against the original intention of the eldest prince to do so! Even if he thought of the wine bag and rice bag of Illusion Shiyang, it was impossible to have any earth-shattering moves, but ......
"Brother Bai, think about it, it's up to you whether we use this loophole or not! Let's go back first, the people from the Great Prince's faction should arrive in a few days, you can give us the answer before then." Wu Zhizhi stood up and said.
Qi Han said meaningfully: "Brother Bai, the three of us live and die together, whether we live or die is all up to you." β
After the two finished speaking, they left Bai Siren's house, leaving only Bai Siren who became indecisive, his mind was the simplest and most affectionate of the three, otherwise he would not have made up his mind to die for the eldest prince.
And Wu and Qi knew this very well so that they would come to the door to incite him, seize the loopholes in the letter of the eldest prince and play the emotional card, when they went out, they were already eighty or ninety percent sure that Bai Siren would fall to them, and the plan was half successful so far.
