2 Human Encounters Chapter 228 Hurry
"I hope you will grant me one condition. ”
The Wind Demon, who was considered the strongest among the demon clans with many masters, knelt on one knee, lowered her proud head, and pleaded.
Chen Ming frowned, looked at Attila and said, "What are you for? For the demons, or for your unfashionable son?"
Attila was stunned, looked up and looked at Chen Ming blankly, "I don't know. ”
"Because of the contract, I can at least do my best to keep Tirestin alive. ”
Chen Ming bent over and helped her up, "The rest, let's talk about it when we come back." ”
"Do you want to leave the party and go alone?"
Atilla asked, "Because you guessed the danger of this trip?"
Chen Ming was slightly surprised, but a little relieved, as a strong man, Atira is also an elder full of wisdom, she can guess Chen Ming's choice, it is not surprising, he nodded, said, " To tell you the truth, I'm not optimistic about Tirestin's trip this time, as you can see, most of the entourage are magicians of the church, even if they can't do it on the road, but when they get to the border, the army that joins the garrison, even if they add thousands of demons on the border, may not be their opponents, and if we attack them in advance, in the territory of Hestifo, we will fall into the hands of Hested. ”
Looking at Tirestin not far away, Chen Ming continued, "With that eighth-order demon here, at least when I go, Tirestin's safety is guaranteed, it doesn't matter if I'm not there, as for getting there, if I still haven't left, I'm afraid it's true that no one can leave." ”
Attila's eyes were dim, what Chen Ming said was very objective, but it was also very realistic, the emperor's intentions this time could be seen by everyone, except for Tirestine, his IQ was not high, and he was carried away by hatred, and he only wanted to pull those two down.
"You want me to bring all the demons back to the royal capital, right?"
Looking at the slightly decadent woman in front of him, Chen Ming felt pity in his heart, but shook his head and said, "I don't dare to assure you, because the difficulty of protecting a person and protecting a team is not at the same level at all, Tirestin I can barely protect it, but the other demons ...... I can't promise what I can't do. ”
"Thank you for your sincere answer. ”
Atira's eyes were slightly red, she was a mother, and she was the head of the clan, she was more worried about the other people who were wandering outside than Tirestin in the center of safety, "I know this is a bit difficult for strong people, but I still hope that you can help my children and my people as much as possible." ”
"Isn't trading with demons the most you hate?"
Chen Ming asked, "Or is it just that in just a few days, you have changed your opinion of the demon?"
"Even now, I still hate demons. ”
Atira closed her eyes in pain, and after a moment, looked out again, "But what can I do? Tirestin is the last hope of the clan, but he is so stupid, so stupid that I have to grovel to you for help, the hope of the clan cannot be pinned on him alone, it is too heavy for him......"
Chen Ming was silent, he didn't hate Tirestin's bravery and fantasy about the future, if in normal times, Tirestin might be loved by many people because of his simplicity, but what he wanted to do was contrary to this simplicity, and finally turned into stupidity and wiped him clean.
"I will bring your people back as intact as possible, as long as it does not harm my own interests. ”
In the end, Chen Ming still did not directly refuse, even though he knew that this mercy was very likely to bring danger to himself and Shaqiluo, but he couldn't bear to see this originally powerful woman still see no hope after groveling and pleading.
Sometimes the most desperate thing is not death, but the long road ahead and the light is not visible......
Before walking out of the barrier, Chen Ming said to Artila, "If you can, in the royal capital, I hope you can be nice to Miller, this can be regarded as a trading condition I promised you this time." ”
Miller...... He's a good boy. ”
Atilla's eyes raised slightly, and she said guiltily, "Actually, I would prefer that their brothers can go back to the past, but Tirestin ......"
"He's got his ideas, and who can stop them, and if they make Tirestin abdicate the throne because of their feelings, I'll kill him with my own hands. ”
Chen Ming waved his hand and slowly walked out of the barrier.
"Demonic ...... It's a demon......"
Atilla was paralyzed, knowing that her thoughts were just a distant luxury, but what could she do?
The wolf finally embarks on a journey to hell, with endless darkness ahead, but he can only move forward.
Eventually, as armoured vehicles departed from the military planes, they set out on their way to the west.
The rumbling sound echoed in his ears, and Chenming, Shakiro, and Tirestin sat in the car, drifting away from the king.
Shaqiro was still sleeping soundly in Chenming's arms, and Chenming was silently looking at the landscape outside the window, he liked it.
"Mr. Chenming. ”
Tirestin asked, "What did the Queen Mother say to you?"
"Nothing, just some words to make me take care of you more. ”
Chen Ming shook her head and said, "This trip may be accompanied by some dangers, and she is a little worried. ”
"Oh. ”
Tirestin didn't question it, no matter how stupid he was, he could see what the origin of those people Theo brought and his father's intentions, and he knew it very well, "As long as we reach the border and join our people, no matter how many storms and waves we have, we will be invincible." ”
Chen Ming didn't speak, just nodded quietly, what a person is most afraid of is losing hope, Tirestin's courage is the last straw for him to persevere, if this straw is cut at this time, it will really be a loss.
The armored car was moving fast, but it still took seven days to reach the western border, and Chen Ming didn't plan to really follow the convoy.
In the middle of the night, the convoy that had reached a certain mountain range stopped its advance, and the soldiers set up bonfires and drank and rested on the side.
Obviously isolated, next to Tirestin, there were only two people, Chen Ming and Sha Qiluo, and counting the eighth-order demon not far away, there were only four of them.
"On the day of the wedding, Lilith came to me and cried for a long time. ”
Looking at the flames dancing in front of him, Tirestin's gaze wandered a little, "Since I was a child, I have never seen her cry so sadly, and it was at that time that I firmly established my mind, even if this is not the prince's intention, I will pull him down from the throne, because only in this way can I protect the people around me." ”
"Didn't you think that Prince Miller never had the idea of hurting you?"
Chen Ming didn't want to ask, but he couldn't help but ask.
"I thought about it, and I didn't want to hurt him. ”
"I thought about it for a long time after that day, and I thought very clearly, if he didn't marry Lilith, I wouldn't hurt him!"
"It's no longer a question of harm versus harm. ”
Chen Ming did not tell Tirestin Miller that he had canceled Lilith's engagement, because Miller and he both knew that even if there was no such thing, His Majesty the Emperor would find all kinds of reasons to set them against each other, otherwise they would cause trouble for themselves if they united.
The obvious conspiracy, the clever Miller saw it through, so he chose to sacrifice himself to fulfill Tirestine.
And Chen Ming didn't say it, in fact, he also had some purpose of his own, he had to make the situation chaotic in order to fish in troubled waters and find out the so-called "real murderer".
According to the original plan, while everyone was asleep, Tatsunami left the convoy with Shakiro, and before leaving, he also left a message for Tirestin to prevent him from panicking.
Easily evading the patrolling night watchmen, the two of them flew silently towards the western sky.
"At the speed of the convoy, we could get to the west three days ahead of them, and before that, we had a day to stay in a city. ”
Holding Shaqiluo's little hand, Chen Ming smiled and said, "Is there a place you want to go?"
"I'll go wherever you go. ”
Shakiro shook her head and said, "There's nothing particular I want to visit. ”
"Okay. ”
Chen Ming nodded speechlessly, and said, "Then go directly to the western realm, and the sooner the time passes, you can also find the location of the magic tower earlier." ”
Hestifo rose from the east, and the further west it went, the more barren the land became, and behind the cities was a dense primeval jungle.
In order to make the journey not so boring, Chen Ming did not fly in the sky all the time, and he would always stay in one place for two or three hours at a time, accompanying Shaqiluo to wander around.
Even so, they were still well ahead of Tirestin's team.
Time flashed, and four days later, they stopped near a mountain range.
Standing on the peak, Chen Ming frowned slightly, looking at the seemingly boundless city wall in the distance, behind the city wall, there was a boundless desert.
"Because you left the convoy, did you increase the defense here......
Through the observation of magic power, Chen Ming could clearly perceive that on the city wall in the distance, there were many border guards, patrolling the land.
There was nothing strange about this, the defense of the border was strong, and it was easy to resist foreign enemies, but what made Chen Ming strange was that all the soldiers on the city wall were magicians, and there was no trace of a demon.
There are generally only two reasons for this situation, the first is that the demon clan has been imprisoned by the church, so these border guards will set up so many light magicians, and none of them are demons.
And the second is that someone noticed his arrival and notified the border in advance, asking them to branch the demons away, and the magicians of the church will stop them.
Based on Hestyford's current situation, the emperor will only do it secretly if he wants to do something to the demons, and it is impossible to put this matter on the surface, so the second reason is the most likely.
"Although I don't know how many troops the church has in Hestifford, if you want to swallow the entire demon army in a vague way, the church here has at least 20,000 troops. ”
Although he was not afraid that these ordinary soldiers would find out, Chen Ming knew that such a large-scale army would have probing magicians, and the rank would not be too low, if he was accidentally discovered by them, then he would face a never-ending hunt.
"There are more ants biting elephants, and there is no guarantee that there will be other eighth-order angels hiding here......"
If you don't pass through here now, once Duke Theo and Tirestin and their convoy arrive, their whereabouts will be revealed, and at that time, everything will be placed on a flat surface, and it will be more difficult to find the magic tower.
"And above the city wall, there is still an eighth-order forbidden sky magic shrouded in it. ”
Beside him, Shaqiluo's eyes flashed slightly, although she couldn't use magic, but her vision and vision were there, and it was easy for her to penetrate the hidden magic.
But this is not good news for Chen Ming, the empty road is blocked, the ground road is intercepted, and the only way out is to forcibly break through.
"Our identities cannot be revealed. ”
Taking out two strangely shaped masks from the magic ring and handing one of the white ones to Shakira, Chen Ming called, "Black Rabbit!"
Rich magic power rose, and a fluffy black ball appeared between the two.
"What for?"
Appearing after a long absence, the black rabbit raised his head and asked, but the moment he saw Shaqiluo, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, and climbed onto Chenming's shoulder with a jump, "Uncle's Chenming! Are you going to kill your rabbit master?!"
"What do you mean to kill you?"
Chen Ming was stunned, put the mask on his face, pulled the black rabbit's ear, threw it to Shaqiluo, who was also wearing a mask, and said, "Protect her." ”
"Protect her?"
The black rabbit struggled to get out again, but was held in her arms by Shaqiluo, and she didn't dare to move, so she could only say hatefully, "Where does she need my protection......?
"She doesn't have any magic right now. ”
Adjusting his breathing, Tatsunato said, "If something happens to her, I'll make you regret it." ”
"Forehead ......"
The black rabbit was slightly startled, and looked up at the quiet girl, it really didn't feel any magic fluctuations, but the innate fear of Shaqiro still made it resist a little.
But the owner commanded, it was frying hair, and it must also obey, "Okay, for your sake, I will protect her, but I don't think you can get through those obstacles, not to mention whether there is an eighth-order existence there, just twenty or thirty thousand light knights are enough for you to drink a pot." ”
"If you can't break through, you won't know until you break through!"
Chen Ming jumped off the high mountain peak and swooped down the cliff wall.
Seeing this, the black rabbit turned into black armor and shrouded Shaqiluo, and behind the black armor, a pair of strange fluid wings also grew out, following Chen Ming.
As Chenming's contract envoy, it is impossible for the Black Rabbit to suck the blood and magic of other people, and it does not dare to suck anything from Shaqira, so now it can only be regarded as an armor that can resist seventh-order magic at most, and has no other ability to assist in battle.
"Camelot of the Heavenly Devil. ”
Under the black armor, Shaqiluo spoke softly, "Wait a minute, if there is any emergency, I hope you can lend me your strength!"
"Lend it to you?"
Black Rabbit sneered, "I haven't settled accounts with you yet for Icarus's death, and you're embarrassed to ask me for strength?"
"It wasn't me who killed Icarus, it was the will-wielder of the previous generation. ”
"You should know that her death has nothing to do with me. ”
"Doesn't matter?"
The black rabbit angrily grew barbs and approached the girl's tender skin one by one, "I really want to kill you while you're weak!"
"I'm not going to fight back. ”
Shaqiluo's face was flat, as if even if the black rabbit really did it, she would not show the slightest look of fear.
"Is the immortal calm?"
The Black Rabbit didn't really want to hurt Shaqiluo, after all, its current owner was Chenming, and if it let Shaqiluo get hurt, it didn't dare to guarantee what this crazy young man would do.
Retracting the barb, the black rabbit said indifferently, "If I don't do anything to you, it doesn't mean that I will forgive you, even if it wasn't you who killed Icarus, but the power you control is the culprit who killed her, this fact will never change!"
"I know. ”
Shaqiluo nodded, and did not refute anything, "Chenming still needs a lot of growth, and he also needs your help, so I will guide him to get closer to you, I'm sorry." ”
"The most noble empress in hell can actually say these three words?"
The Black Rabbit smiled miserably, and then said, "Although you interfered with my choice, there is only this matter, I am grateful to you, and in order not to put my owner in danger, I agree to lend you my power." ”
"Thank you. ”
Shaqiro smiled slightly and said sincerely, "One day in the future, you will return to the person you want to meet, not necessarily......"
"What do you mean by that?"
The Black Rabbit knew that Shakiro represented the supremacy of hell, and every word she said meant truth, and she would say this to the Black Rabbit, that is, its original owner, Icarus, who brought it out of the coldness and gave it warmth, was very likely to be alive.
However, she did not give an answer to her question, she had already closed her eyes, quietly preparing something.
In the middle of their conversation, two figures had landed in front of the city wall.
Hideous masks, twisted armor, needless to say, both of these are not good.
"Who are you?"
On the city wall, there were several heavy figures falling from above, smashing heavily on the ground, and the moment they supported their bodies, a terrifying magic power rippled in an instant at this moment.
"The first wave, is it ten seventh-order ......?"
Under the mask, Chen Ming smiled cruelly, holding the crystal ball in one hand and pressing it on the magic guide book with the other, he obviously had no intention of keeping his hand!
"O fierce flame elf, please turn that raging fire into arrows and help me penetrate all obstacles and repel the enemies in front of me!"
"Elemental magic, open flame flowing arrows!"
