Chapter 9: Juss's Suffering
The two white and flawless jade peaks exuded a refreshing body fragrance, Lan Che raised his head sneakly, only to see the sleeping beauty in the West lying quietly in front of him at the moment, the slender waist of the pale pink magic robe was not grasped, and the skin was even more white in the sun, and a certain part of the ice jade was less than a centimeter away from the tip of his nose.
"Hmm~" Zhu Si slowly opened her eyes, felt a tingle in her temples, and was about to raise her hand but saw a head on her chest, staring blankly at her ......?
"Ah!!" A scream that woke up everything, Zhu Si covered her chest in panic, and hurriedly retreated with a red face, when she saw Lan Che's face, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble, and she bit her lower lip lightly, revealing an extremely puzzled expression.
The flying duck on one side was awakened by the scream, she staggered to her feet, rubbed the back of her head, glanced around in confusion, and finally met Lan Che's eyes.
"Flying Duck, are you alright?" Lan Che patted his buttocks, got up and walked over to Flying Duck and stretched out his hand.
"Well. I'm okay. The flying duck lowered his head, and his ruddy face stood up with Lan Che's support.
Zhu Si looked at Lan Che, her brain was blank, and she only heard a cracking sound of "crackling", and three lumps of flesh crawled out of the stone mound ten meters away in the distance.
"Phew, what's the situation, eat me a mouthful of stones!phew!!" Lao Wang scolded and patted his body, spat splashing, and when he saw a familiar face under the big red robe not far away, the whole person was also stunned.
The Mayan Empire... Red Robe Blood Method... Lan Che?
With the IQ of the dwarves, it is impossible to string these three words together in any way.
Two minutes later, the six sat awkwardly on the grass in a circle.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Lan Che was the first to speak.
"You.. Are you the blood mage of the Mayan Empire?" Zhu Si raised her head timidly, the flush on her face did not seem to subside, and it was very beautiful at first glance.
"Blood mage?haha, of course I'm not. Lan Che smiled and waved his hand.
"Hmph, I know how can a defeated general be a blood mage of the Empire! But how did you appear here? Is that the same person you were last night?"
"Nonsense, you would have died without me, sit down quickly!
Lao Wang short-circuited every day, although he still had an unbelievable expression on his face, but his ass was very obedient, and he twisted and sat down obediently.
"Tell me, Jusi, why did you come to the Kas Monster Mountains, who were those armorers last night, why did they fight you. Lan Che looked at Zhu Si suspiciously, the soft light of the morning sun sprinkled on his face, the shyness had completely faded, but his eyes were full of tears.
Seeing that the valve was about to be opened, Lan Che hurriedly waved his hand: "Hey, I said don't you cry? β
Jusi sniffled and muttered, "Our Mayan Empire...... Something went wrong. β
"What?!" As soon as the words fell, everyone trembled!
What happened to the Mayan Empire, the powerful magical empire of the Gard Continent?
Zhu Si saw everyone's expressions and immediately became serious, and they all stared at her intently, not knowing whether to say it or not for a while, so she had to bite her lip with her teeth, as if she was doing some violent struggle in her heart.
Lan Che naturally noticed the change in Zhu Si, and he gently patted Zhu Si's shoulder: "If you feel embarrassed, don't say it, if you want to say it in the future, I won't listen to it anymore, but I treat you as a friend now, and you have seen the situation yesterday, if it weren't for our rescue, I'm afraid you would ...... now."
"No!" Zhu Si suddenly interrupted Lan Che, and the big tears of the bean slipped down, and she shook her head painfully: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I haven't recovered from the pain yet, the empire has been deceived, the teacher's life and death are uncertain, and even the magic wand that has accompanied her for many years ......"
Speaking of this, Jusi couldn't hold back anymore and sobbed quietly.
The atmosphere became a little sad, everyone was silent, Lan Che sighed, he was not likely to comfort the girl, so that he is still a single Wang, but now you are crying vigorously is not a thing? He stood up depressedly, pulled his sleeves to his elbows from the good flow, unbuttoned the neckline, took a deep breath, vaguely revealed his strong chest, grabbed his hair irritably, and grabbed a lazy handsome: "Flying duck, let's go." β
Flying Duck was stunned: "Your Highness, oh no...... Lan Che, are we leaving?"
Lan Che nodded: "I treat her as a friend, but she is behind closed doors, why should we be bored?"
Zhu Si raised her head aggrievedly, the tips of her hair trembled, against the light, she only saw Lan Che's sea of stay swept by the sun, colliding with the dust in the air, and bounced away slightly, blurry, like a fluttering butterfly, so that she couldn't help but want to scratch, the knife-like side face reflected the warmth of the sea of love, for some reason, when she saw this sunny big boy, her previous anxious heart gradually relaxed.
"Wait a minute!" Juss pouted, "Yesterday... Thank you, and I'd like to tell you what's going on. β
"Good. Lan Che sat down and dragged a piece of grass in his mouth.
"Things have to start five years ago, at that time, there was a huge war between the Mayan Empire and the Maple Creek Empire, in fact, it was also a battle between the magician and the Sartre clan, this war lasted for two whole years, our Mayan Empire was united, sworn to the death, seeing that the balance of victory was about to tilt, the Sartyr clan secretly colluded with many thunder messengers. They are born mage's nemesis, walking like lightning and extremely capable in close combat. Then, the city continued to fall, one by one the magicians fell in pain, and the king had no choice but to save the country, and begged the neighbors to come to the rescue, which barely survived.
However, while everyone was rejoicing, the neighboring countries also took advantage of this to put forward many harsh conditions, and the king was forced to agree. But just two years ago, a treaty that could no longer be tolerated completely shattered the long-lasting peaceful life! The neighboring countries showed their true colors, secretly colluded with the Maple Creek Empire, and after three years of meeting, they swore to fight to the death!"
Hissββ!
After Zhu Si finished speaking in one breath, everyone present was in a cold sweat when they heard it, and their hearts were greatly shocked, they couldn't imagine that the powerful Mayan Empire would fall to such a point?!
But Lan Che frowned from beginning to end, he always felt that there was something strange in it, but he couldn't be sure, so he continued to ask: "Zhu Si, what is the intolerable condition proposed by the neighboring country?"
"Tuna Mayan Empire. β
"What!" Lao Wang exclaimed, he was the captain of the escort team, and naturally knew what it meant to swallow, in other words, from now on, in this world, the words "Mayan Empire" will never be seen again, what a big breath!
"That's why you come to this small place to recruit students?"
"Yes, before leaving, the Imperial Elder specially instructed that although the Kas Mountains are a small Demon Beast Mountain Range, there is a descendant of the Ghost Clan, in addition to recruiting students, let us come in and try our luck, although there is not much hope, but the elders have no way out, and the survival of the country is more important than anything else!
"Oh, I see. Lan Che nodded, thinking back to the scene last night, he could have an explanation, and now the main line is gradually clear, but the question in his heart is still not solved, so he raised his head and asked: "Zhu Si, what is the name of your neighbors? What race are they? Two years ago, you asked your neighbors for help, what was the final result of the battle?"
Zhu Si thought for a moment and muttered: "They are the Victor Country, and their profession should be called Alien Pattern Master, the battle two years ago, because of their joining, was on par with the Maple Creek Empire, and finally reached a truce." β
"Alien Pattern Master?" Lan Che wondered.
"Yes, Vic is a small, closed country, and the people of their country never interact with the outside world. It is said that the Alien Tattoo Master is a unique profession in the Vic Country, and somewhere in their country, there is a mysterious and powerful soul spring, and every new life comes, the soul spring will give them a gift - plant a strange pattern on their body, it will melt into the skin and blood bones, turn into the mark of immortality, and leave a shocking mark in the depths of every soul. The most important thing is that only the people of the Victor Kingdom can accept the gift of the Soul Spring, and when they fight, they can summon and summon powerful alien patterns, and their power is extremely terrifying!"
As soon as the words fell, the doubts on Lan Che's face became stronger, he was not puzzled by the mystery of the Pattern Masters, but the stronger they were, the stronger the possibility of guessing in his heart.
Zhu Si saw Lan Che's whole face wrinkled, and hurriedly asked, "Lan Che, ...... you?"
Before Zhu Si finished speaking, Lan Che raised his hand and interrupted her: "Zhu Si, can I think that two years ago, the Vic Kingdom had the strength to annex the Mayan Empire together with the Maple Creek Empire?"
When Zhu Si heard this, he frowned and looked at him with a puzzled expression, according to common sense, if the Fengxi Empire had the help of the Thunder Messenger, plus the Vic Empire, then the Mayan Empire would definitely die. But in fact, Vic is on his side, what is Lan Che trying to express?
Could it beβhissββ! she suddenly thought of something, and suddenly covered her mouth with a cool breath, and looked at Lan Che with a look of horror.
Lan Che nodded meaningfully, and said something that made everyone tremble: "Maybe two years ago, the Vic Kingdom had already colluded with the Fengxi Empire, and your Mayan Empire has always been just a piece of meat on the human board!"
"What!!!" the old king exclaimed, he glared at Lan Che and roared, "What nonsense are you talking about? Victor is obviously helping the Mayan Empire, but the king personally asked for it!"
"Hmph~" Lan Che snorted coldly: "The Mayan Empire is not the country of Gudebai, nor is it the country of your Dilu, and the huge territory cannot be swallowed overnight. But that doesn't mean they don't have the plan!"
"Could it be that they put on a show two years ago, and then come up with some simple treaties, and when the time comes, they will reveal their true colors?"
"Yes, you're right! I guess two years ago, Vic and Maple Creek didn't occupy the Mayan Empire because of some concerns, both in terms of strength and otherwise. But now it seems that since they dare to breach the contract in public, they can only say one thing!"
"What's the matter?" asked Wang hurriedly.
Lan Che lowered his head, and his voice became low: "They are now stronger, and they have the strength to devour the Mayan Empire!"
As soon as Lan Che's words were finished, everyone was quiet, and their hearts seemed to have overturned the five mixed tastes, especially Zhu Si, whose whole face was as white as snow.
After chewing carefully for a long time, Zhu Si slowly came back to her senses, she never expected that the helping hand of the Vic Kingdom back then turned out to be a conspiracy! A conspiracy that had been buried for many years! She wanted to rush to the king and tell him everything now, but what could she do? How could the king not think of this? Now sending us around to find magicians, why not for the sake of a mortal battle in a year! The survival of the Mayan Empire, maybe in this short year, can enough magicians be gathered! No, I can't waste any more time! I want to defend this beautiful land with my life, I want to seize all the time to continue searching, even if a year later, you release a fire in the sky above the Mayan Empire, it is a ray of hope!!
Thinking of this, Zhu Si stood up and looked at Lan Che deeply, she never thought that a lie that had been deceived for many years would be exposed by a teenager who had only listened for a few minutes, she couldn't help but feel a little touched in her heart, it was a kind of admiration from the bottom of her heart.
"Lan Che, thank you for helping me again. β
"......Huh? It's okay, aren't we friends, and besides, this kind of thing is commonplace for wars, Guiguzi once said, villains seek their lives, gentlemen seek the country, and big husbands seek the world, this kind of little trick is not worth mentioning!"
"Guiguzi, is he your teacher?" asked Zhu Si, puzzled.
"Ahh Oh yes, Juss, what's the stone on that wand? I think that beast just broke it for you!"
At the mention of the magic wand, Fang Cai's eyes instantly turned red again, and Zhu Si pouted pitifully: "Hmm...... That is not a stone, it is a magic core, a kind of demonic beast crystallization that can only be bred by demonic beasts above the third order, and the attributes of different demonic beasts are also different. I'm an ice attribute mage, and that crystal was only obtained by the dean when he was lucky enough to hunt a fourth-order demonic beast, the Ice Swallow, during an expedition. Not only can the magic core speed be accelerated, but the magic power will also become stronger, and it is impossible to find your own high-level magic core, woo woo ......"
"Above the third-order demonic beasts, what do you mean, is it difficult to encounter?" Lan Che asked.
"Of course, there are nine orders of Warcraft, and the first to third orders are low-level Warcraft, which are generally used for civilian use or food, of course, only a few can do this, most of them still have a certain degree of aggression, they do not have a magic core of their own, and they are also one of the favorite objects of hunting and trading by demon hunters. The second is the fourth-order to sixth-order demonic beasts, they are extremely aggressive, have their own attributes, moody, and generally live in groups and have exclusive leaders, and the demon cores in their bodies are also extremely precious. And the demonic beasts above the seventh order, that is the existence that can be encountered, they have wisdom roots, can think independently, but basically no one has seen them, and they are also called divine beasts. I heard that a certain country outside the continent rose in an instant because of the successful capture of a seventh-order divine beast, and razed the surrounding neighboring countries to the ground overnight. β
"Oh my God, so strong?!" Lan Che suddenly became interested, the monster actually had its own ideas, wouldn't it be much more convenient to soak up the girl in the future?
was sighing, and a sheep's cry came from his ear: "Baa~"
