Volume 9 The Journey of Slaying the Dragon Chapter 9 The Eve of the Night of Slaughter
Sure enough, as Luo Lan expected, when Adocimad arrived at the governor's palace, there happened to be an unobtrusive-looking carriage that came to pick up the princess of Xiumi, and in addition to the two ordinary swordsmen, there was also a young mage who could not see the rank, and the female elf also sat in the carriage with the princess. γFengyun Reading Network.γ
The men were not very vigilant, or did not show any look of vigilance, as if they had bought a trinket in a street shop, which made Adocimath climb to the bottom of the carriage with ease.
But his movements are still cautious, because the elves' hearing is notoriously sharp, not to mention that the other party is also an archer, but fortunately, his body has no body temperature, and he is not breathing, as long as the undead hedron fluctuations in his body are restrained, it is like a cold corpse that is imperceptible. He was now more and more satisfied with his body, which, in addition to being ugly and unable to be exposed to the sun for too long, had few fatal points and no fatigue, allowing him to use his strengths and skills better.
In this way, it seems that the undead are more suitable for the class of thieves.
The carriage galloped out of the city and down the deserted trails on the outskirts.
Dark energy circulated through the undead hedron in his body, and Adociamath was able to reduce his weight to the lightest with ease, even if someone stood outside and judged from the traces of the ruts, they could not see any flaws.
The trees on both sides were gradually turning from sparse to dense, and he could not help but think that if they galloped into the forest, or changed horses and walked, it would take a lot of effort to find them.
Thankfully, however, the carriage was always on the road and did not enter the unpredictable territory as he had expected.
At this time, the princess in the carriage, who had been silent since departure, seemed to yawn long, and she asked curiously, "Mo Jia, where are we going?" "It turns out that she has been in a state of sleep just now.
The female elf's crisp voice sounded, "Your Highness, we are about to go to the temporary residence of the Prince. β
"Father has arrived?" said the girl, revealing a hint of surprise. Then he said in frustration: "Hmph." Father must be in a hurry again, right?
The female elf comforted her and said, "Your Highness, when we arrive at the Nanfeng Islands, we will stay for many days, and then you will have more room for freedom." β
The girl giggled and said, "Mojia, you're the best." But then she lamented, "But I haven't gotten that pretty blonde boy yet." In the past two days, the local governor has been detained, and in fact, he does not dare to offend this still ignorant princess, and she is quite respectful in her hospitality, so she does not know that she has actually been a "hostage".
The elf laughed softly and soothed her softly, "Your Highness Xiumi, there is always a chance." β
The carriage soon approached the manor in the midst of a green grove. Passing through the leafy branches and along the leaf-paved path, a grey stone castle stands lonely on a slightly elevated ground.
Adosimo secretly thought that Prince Shumi could still live in such an unknown castle on the way to Nanfeng Qunyu, and it seemed that he was not as a lost prince as he imagined, at least, he should have hidden some of his power.
"Miss. The lord is busy waiting for you. She was greeted by the housekeeper, who turned to the young mage and said, "Master Hedamik." His Royal Highness invites you to come to his study. β
The young mage didn't speak, but smiled and nodded.
"Got it, got it. The girl leaped lightly from under the carriage, a gesture that was too frivolous in her aristocratic status. But none of the people on the side showed an unnatural look. This can be seen from the side that Prince Shumi dotes on her.
Adosimath dived into the shadow form and secretly followed the maiden's footsteps into the castle. He is the only one who retains his ontological skills after becoming an undead, which may have something to do with the fact that his memory has not been lost.
He observed his surroundings and memorized them in his mind.
On the second floor of the castle, the maiden was soon ushered into a simply furnished study, where the fat Prince Shumi was sitting by the window with a smile, and the Loheim swordsman standing at his side with a calm expression.
Seeing his daughter come in, the prince's eyes narrowed so that there was only one line left, and he said, "My princess Jeannes, are you still happy these days?"
The girl pouted and muttered, "It's okay." She rolled her eyes, stepped forward and hugged the prince's arm, and said coquettishly: "Father, I want someone, can you help me find it?"
Prince Xiumi patted her delicate shoulder and said with a smile: "My dear daughter, I will get everything you want for you, but you need to wait a little now, soon, hehe, I promise you, yes, we will get everything we want soon, now, I have a little business." He glanced at the housekeeper, who immediately understood and came up and said, "Miss, I'll take you to your room." β
"Alright, alright," the maiden kissed Prince Shumi affectionately on the cheek, and then ran out of the study with joy and laughter like silver bells along the way.
It was only when the housekeeper gently closed the door that Prince Shumi turned his gaze to the young mage's face, and he pointed to a seat next to him and smiled, "Master Hedamik, please be seated." β
The young mage bowed slightly, and he sat to the side with a calm expression.
Prince Xiumi twisted his body, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was preparing his own words, and after a while, he said slowly: "I heard that the kindness of Master Olaser was rejected by that little lord?"
Hedamic was respectful, he bowed his head slightly, and said, "As I said before, that Olaser Mage's mind is too old, and there is always a layer of fog in front of his eyes, so that he can't see the current world clearly, to be honest, I am not surprised that this result happened, but you can rest assured that this time our mage will protect and support you, and you can completely ignore the little reptiles passing by." β
Prince Xiumi laughed out loud and said, "But there are too many insects, and it hurts to bite." Suddenly, his laughter stopped abruptly, and he lowered his voice, "Janice has returned, and although she is safe and sound now, shouldn't she teach them a lesson in the actions of the reptiles that almost hurt her life?"
Hedamic showed a slightly embarrassed look, he thought for a while, and sighed: "If someone threatens your life, we will naturally not sit idly by, but ......"
"You don't need to make a move," the swordsman of Helum next to him said in a deep voice, "I can take this matter personally, but when I am away, the safety of His Royal Highness can only be entrusted to Your Excellency and Master Naorasher." β
Hedamik slowly stood up, and he said solemnly: "The safety of His Royal Highness is related to the success or failure of our entire plan, and I can swear by my glory and life, and I will do my best to protect him until the moment of glory." β
He glanced at Hylome, then took out a scroll from his body and handed it to the other party, smiling: "The spatial shielding scroll, when an hourglass is effective, can isolate all energy fluctuations and sounds caused by battles. β
Hiding in the corner, Adosimath's eyes opened slightly, and two green fires flickered in his eyes, this person was actually a rare space mage!
"Thank you very much," Helum unceremoniously took it, looked at it, and said, "That's enough." β
The prince smiled and waved his hand, "Then you go and prepare, don't forget to bring Janice's little gift, I am looking forward to your good news tonight." β
Hylom bowed slightly and said, "As you wish, Your Highness, forgive me for my retirement." As he exited the room, he glanced at Adozefitah's hideout, intentionally or not.
Adozimoth pondered for a moment, and he quietly followed in Helom's footsteps,
Loheim walked unusually steadily, the same distance as he stepped out step by step, and the sound of footsteps tapping on the stone slab was condensed with composure and firmness.
Although Adosimo couldn't judge the true level of the other party, he could see from the rock-solid back that this was a swordsman with superb martial arts, and his concealment skills were also quite skillful, and the two of them were so close that he couldn't even feel the slightest fluctuation of fighting spirit from him.
Before he knew it, Adozimad found himself in an empty and silent courtyard, and seeing that there were few people walking around, a thought struck him, if I assassinated him here at this moment......
He cautiously looked around again, yes, the place and the timing were right!
He leaned in slowly, the cold dagger slid into his hand like life, and Hylom walked forward as if unconscious, and as he was about to walk out of the courtyard, the green fire in Adocimath's eyes suddenly burst into flames, and the dagger in his hand stabbed out like lightning.
"Boom!"
The dagger struck Helum on the side of his neck, making a sound like that of gold and iron!
Fighting Fortress!
As soon as Atozimad felt that something was wrong, a brilliant sword light pierced his chest.
His figure flickered twice before disappearing into thin air as if it had never been there.
Loheim was stunned, his brows furrowed, he picked up his sword, and looked at the tip of the sword, but his expression slowly became solemn.
There, there was no blood.
