Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Princess Hugs
After being away from the Forsaken Land for a long time, Xia Yi actually missed it a little.
"I must be crazy."
The Forsaken Lands are dangerous at all times, and there are no living creatures there, only bloody and violent undead. But at least Chailly has a place to stay, the bronze coffin at the beginning, the castle of Pipiru, and then the tomb of the lord, these are the eaves that shelter him.
When she arrived in the Anthropocene realm, Xia Yi was at a loss, in the orc kingdom and the human realm, she did not have a place to take root, she just went with the flow, and the mage academy and the city of chaos were only her temporary foothold.
It's not a good feeling at all, Shay needs a permanent home, and she can't go back to the Forsaken Land now. Who can say that the Anthropocene realm is no more dangerous and cruel than the forsaken land, but the struggle between the undead is direct, while the danger of the Anthropocene realm is hidden.
"My master, you are restless."
The big mouth appeared on the cover of the book demon again, and it had changed its name to its master, but Xia Yi could hear that Bock was just perfunctory, and there was no respect at all.
"Let Bock guess, what are you bothering about? There are so many troubles in human beings, and women are constantly worried about whether they look good, whether they have a glass of red wine for dinner, and even about the price of beef...... But none of this bothers you, I guess, you're thinking about your home, right? β
Xia Yi glanced at it, but he didn't expect this guy to guess correctly.
"How do you know I'm homesick?" Xia Yi smiled and moved the book demon to the bed and used it as a pillow, "Then do you know where my home is?" β
"Oh...... Hiss ......"
The book demon made an incomparably comforting sound. Xia Yi is used to this guy's cheap character, the more he tortures it, the more pleasant it is, anyway, whether it is burned or slashed, the book demon will not have any damage, Xia Yi has always wanted to study its materials.
"Because His Majesty Sauron, every night, when he writes notes, he also shows such a look."
In the impression of Chailly. The Skeleton King should be synonymous with coldness and strength, and if you don't want to, you will miss this tenderness? Xia Yi plucked out her ears, she was tired of hearing the name Sauron, the Grim Reaper's Deal, the Mage Academy, everywhere there was the shadow of this guy.
"Your Majesty, why did he go to the mainland?"
"Same as you. He didn't like the dampness and darkness of the forsaken land, and envied the place where there was sunshine, flowers, plants, birds and beasts, so he came. At the same time, he was working on a plan, but unfortunately he disappeared before it was completed, my mistress, you are his first heir. β
Sauron's notes contain his wisdom and deeds, from the moment the book demon Bock gave birth to his soul. The Skeleton King gave it a task, and if one day he didn't complete it, he would find the next successor to pass on the King's knowledge to them and accomplish his great deeds.
"I never promised to complete his inexplicable plan, Bock, you've got the wrong person." Xia Yi didn't want to run around for someone she never knew.
"It's late, you've already read part of it, so you have to accept it!"
"We don't have an agreement until we read it. I never swore that after reading the notes, I would carry on his business. Don't you think it's ridiculous that I've just picked up a book, so I'm obligated to pledge allegiance to a skeleton of unknown origin? Moreover, he is an undead being, the enemy of us humans. β
Xia Yi didn't want to get into trouble, so she just lied.
"Hahaha, master. Landry's ghost mask doesn't change the fact that you're a skeleton. β
Hearing this, Xia Yi's expression was cold, when did it see it?
The Wraith Mask is Shailly's umbrella, a safeguard in the human realm. If a book could be easily read, what safety would she have? The Grim Reaper once said that the ghost mask can deceive everyone's eyes, and only those with a strong soul can sense Chailly's soul fire.
The bookdemon is clearly not among them.
Seeing that Xia Yi's expression was not good, Bock felt scared, it was a smart soul, and he knew that it had said something that it shouldn't have said, touching Xia Yi's weakness.
"My lord, rest your anger...... I swear, I just found out who you are, and I've never revealed it to anyone! Believe me, I'm just guessing, if someone sees a book talking, there will definitely be a big mess, so master, we are all not popular with humans, and I will not betray your ......"
The book demon reacted quickly, and quickly explained before Xia Yi got angry, it was well aware of its fragile body, and it would be easy if Xia Yi was determined to destroy it.
"Then what else do you know?"
Xia Yi looked at the book demon coldly, and Bock was a little afraid, if it couldn't give a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid it wouldn't end well.
"No, it was Your Majesty who said that those who can see me must be undead, my master, Your Majesty knows much more than me, he will not hand me over to a human being, when I first met you, when I mentioned the Skeleton King, you were not afraid at all, so I only knew that Your Majesty Dao, maybe you and Your Majesty are the same, both skeletons......"
Seeing Xia Yi's face soften, the book demon felt that he had picked up a small life.
"Master, we are in sympathy, how difficult I have been all these years, just to wait for your appearance and release me from the darkness, I will definitely not do you any disadvantage."
Shay weighs the pros and cons, and she needs the help of the book demon.
"Your Majesty, you won't be so naΓ―ve as to think that his words can make me go to the soup for him, right? Tell me, what benefits will I get if I inherit his plan? Selling your life for free, this kind of thing even mercenaries will think is a joke. β
"Of course it can't be, Your Majesty is not a stingy person, the heir he chooses will definitely be the best skeleton in the world besides him, I, isn't it the best gift?"
Xia Yi scoffed at the book demon's boasting, at least until now, except for some records about spells, she had not seen the value of the book demon elsewhere, maybe the book demon deliberately hid something important.
"Oh, master, you'll get other gifts...... It's an honor to be able to do things for Your Majesty, you should think so. β
The book demon is a little weak-hearted, where does it know what his majesty left to the heirs? It itself felt that Shay was right, according to the king's nature, his words could make everyone die for him, so he didn't think about it at all, and his heirs didn't accept his orders......
Xia Yi snorted and didn't pay attention to it anymore, she wouldn't do it if she was trading at a loss!
The Book Demon's allegiance is to the Skeleton King, and its words are not credible at all. Shay suspects that Bock is deceiving himself, and that his purpose is nothing more than to find its true owner.
The bookdemon was silent today, it was thinking about what the hell it was thinking, Xia Yi finally enjoyed a moment of peace, but was disturbed by a sharp knock on the door, she thought it was Made, or Fanny, because these were the only two people who were closer to her.
But both were wrong, and outside the door was a strange man.
Shay was a skeleton with a keen sense of fresh souls, and she looked at the man in front of her as if she were looking at a stone. That's right, this man doesn't have any breath, neither the nasty light attribute, nor the dark breath, and even the fresh soul smell that normal people have, doesn't exist, so Xia Yi thought he was facing a corpse.
But he could move this corpse, and he tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if smiling was not easy for him.
"Long time no see!" He said.
Xia Yi glanced at the man strangely, he was a good-looking man, very handsome, which made Xia Yi feel kind, because this man actually had an oriental face!
His dark eyes were very energetic, like the first star to appear in the sky after dusk, his facial features were very deep, and his sword eyebrows made him look heroic, not at all like the Marquis of Blue Rose who indulged in wine. Xia Yi is a little stupid, such a man is her favorite, handsome and masculine. Well, it would be perfect if he was a little lower.
Because Xia Yi himself is not tall, this man who is 1.9 meters tall and has broad shoulders is like a mountain in front of Xia Yi, and Xia Yi looks up during the whole process.
The man took a step back intimately, so that his gaze was the same as Xia Yi's usual, rather than looking down like a child.
Xia Yi couldn't bear to refuse, and a voice in her soul shouted: "Please let him in!" What a perfect man! Another voice retorted: You're a hardcore, don't you dislike muscular guys?! The former: He's not a muscular man, this is a perfect body, a strong type!
I have to admit that this man's smile is very stiff, like a rope hanging the corners of his mouth, which does not give him any points, but has a unique charm, like an unsmiling president.
"I'm sorry, you went to the wrong door, I don't know you."
Gritting her teeth, Xia Yi felt that she was a rational woman, and only a little girl like Fanny would fantasize about her perfect lover all day long, right? However, such a high-quality man, a one-night stand may be good......
In the next moment, Xia Yi regretted his politeness.
She's really looking at the wrong person! Where is this a man, he is a beast!
The man outside the door walked over, picked up Xia Yi directly, and walked to the bed in the room. Xia Yi exclaimed, she was a skeleton lord, and she already had great strength, but she pushed on the man, like an ant delusionally pushing away a mountain, without moving!
To be honest, as a woman, Xia Yi also fantasized about being hugged by a man princess, or being forced into a corner by a strong man and kissing ...... This is Chailly a few years ago. At this time, she realized her childhood dream and was held in the arms of a man.
But what about the beauty of the legend?
Xia Yi's struggle was pressed down by a man's hand, and she was like a zongzi who was taken hostage and tied up with flowers!
The man said loudly: "Beibi, after so many years, you miss me, right?" β
