Chapter 360: The Male Protagonist Who Ran Away (5,000 words)
Although one of the king candidates in the setting is a complete arrogant person, this first meeting did not give Shen He much disgust.
On the contrary, seeing her extremely confident appearance, Shen He couldn't help but want to tease her.
"Since you say that, you must have something special about you."
"Stupid." The girl waved a folding fan, looked at Shen He with extremely boring eyes and said, "As long as you have seen me, you should know the difference between me and others, and even say anything extraordinary, comparing the rest of the people with me is already a great sin." β
There was no displeasure or anger on her face when she said this.
This is because she really thinks this way, not some words of contempt for others.
"What does it have to do with me that you are different from others?" Shen He smiled, "Kurxiu gave me trust, respect, and assistance, so I helped her, if you can't give me anything, no matter how good and different it is, it has nothing to do with me." β
β......β
It seemed that no one had ever said such a thing to Priscilla, so much so that she stopped completely.
But.
It's good and it's fun.
Priscilla's eyes showed a look of interest, "Asking me what I can give you, so that you can look a little bit like a great sage, presumably, boring things like wealth can't satisfy you at all, so how about you be able to achieve whatever you want?" β
"Can you do it?" Shen He looked at her with a smile.
"Of course." Priscilla didn't seem to see the smile in Shen He's eyes, but nodded seriously, "Everything in the world exists to please me, no matter what the process is, the result will inevitably develop in my favor, if you surrender to me and win my favor, what you want will definitely come true." β
"Hahaha." Shen He laughed out loud.
The laughter clearly upset Priscilla, and she almost wondered if something was wrong with her previous interest in Shen He.
"Please don't get me wrong, Great Sage." At this time, Abu, Priscilla's servant, also approached on a dragon ride, "What my young lady said is not contemptuous, and following her for ten years can indeed confirm this, because even if Miss doesn't do anything, the direction of the world will inevitably move in her favor." β
This Abu, who is also a traverser, is from the same place as Caiyue Pleiades.
However, he was not as lucky as Caiyue Pleiades to be able to get the golden finger.
Looking at the empty left arm and the body full of "vicissitudes", you can understand how difficult this journey to another world is.
In fact, it is precisely because of this that he is driven to follow Priscilla's side, and the feeling of being favored by the whole world is simply fatal to the unlucky bastard like Abu.
"I'm not laughing at Priscilla's words." Shen He smiled and shook his head.
"Oh? So what are you laughing at? Priscilla's eyes narrowed.
"You say that the end result must be in your favor, right?" Shen He looked at Priscilla, waved his hand, and said proudly, "For me, the same is true, I don't need the favor of the world at all, even if the whole world is against me, what I want to do will definitely succeed, and I will definitely get what I want to have, because I will use my own ability to easily get everything in the end!" β
After saying this long paragraph, Shen He drove the Earth Dragon straight forward.
Leave a back that stands proudly in the world.
At the same time snickering in the psyche.
It is too self-sufficient to compare a "lucky person" who is favored by the world in the indigenous world with him, the "protagonist" who has been systematically selected in thousands of worlds.
And Priscilla was indeed wide-eyed at the moment, looking at Shen He's departing back incredulously.
Everything you want, you will get with your own ability.
That sounds ......
It's really much higher than her passively waiting for the final result.
"Miss." Abu next to him couldn't help but show a strange expression, "This great sage seems to be much more confident than Miss." β
"Yes, this is the first time I know that there are such arrogant people." Priscilla nodded with deep feeling.
When Abu heard this, he could only smile bitterly.
The master of her own house is completely unaware that her own arrogance is not inferior to anyone else.
His gaze suddenly saw the shining eyes of his master.
I couldn't help but stroke my forehead.
It's over, and the interest of the owner is completely hooked.
In this way, the outcome of this royal election depends entirely on whether the master who is favored by the world is more powerful, or the great sage who claims to be capable enough to be the enemy of the world is more powerful?
......
No matter what the people behind him thought, Shen He threw Priscilla aside after pretending to be a little forced.
In fact, he also wanted to find another Lori-type Kingdom candidate, Anastasia, to chat, but she seemed to have been sitting in a luxurious dragon cart pulled by a dragon, so she didn't find a chance to meet.
In the end, with the full force of the whole army, they came to the place where the white whale was about to appear before noon.
It's a wild forest with no one in the wilderness.
Many of the trees are tall and dense, which is convenient for hiding the long-range large magic weapons on the ground, but before that, the demonic beasts in the forest here must be completely expelled.
So Kurshu began to give orders.
Shen He silently felt the changes brought to him by the contract with Beatrice.
All along, he felt that his master was a little too weak, or that he had a strong magic power but didn't know how to use it, and could only use the most basic physical strength to face the enemy, which completely failed to reflect the compulsion of being a master.
But there is nothing that can be done.
Because his magical talent is very average, he has tested it before, and the magic of any world can theoretically be used to perform the magic in his body, but in reality, the study of magic is far from that simple.
It's not about power, it's about thinking.
So until now, the magic he has mastered is only equivalent to the magic that a normal human can master in a year of practice, and it is a basic and easy-to-release type.
But now.
Things seem to be different.
Found a place where no one was around, and summoned Beatrice from the gem around her neck, and then Shen He couldn't wait to ask.
"Is there any powerful Yin attribute magic, I feel that I can easily cast it now."
"It's a delusion, it's impossible!"
Bicui ruthlessly exposed Shen He's fantasies.
"It's so unsympathetic, what's the benefit of attacking your own master like this!"
Shen He sadly stretched out his claws and tugged at the spiral double ponytails on both sides of Beatrice, he had wanted to do this for a long time.
"It's not unsympathetic." Beatrice shook her head desperately, bared her teeth and showed a threatening expression to Shen He, "If you catch it again, Betty will be angry!" β
"Good, so fierce." Shen He regretfully let go of his hand.
I don't know how this hairstyle was formed, but it looks like a spring when it is pulled, and it is super elastic.
The last time I felt this way was when I was in elementary school, when I pulled the hair of the female student in the front seat.
"The magic of our world is actually quite rough, and it is more just the understanding and application of power, so this will lead to a completely different situation for everyone's magic and special moves, and you used magic to transmit your voice across space to other people's ears, which means that you can already see the essence of some yin magic." Beatrice explained in a serious manner.
But Shen He's focus is not on her explanation.
"You were able to spy on me when you were in the gem?"
"There's no voyeurism! Just looked at it properly. β
Beatrice told the fact of voyeurism without telling herself, although it was cute, but Shen He didn't intend to forgive her at all.
"You can't do that again!" Shen He's expression was very serious, "After all, I am a man with a daughter-in-law, and I must have to live a two-person world with my daughter-in-law at night, if I knew that you could peep, Joan of Arc would mercilessly put the gem into the box, stuff it under the bed, and then use magic to form a silent vacuum environment." β
"Zhen, would Joan of Arc do such a thing?" Beatrice couldn't help but shrink her neck.
"Yes." Shen He nodded solemnly.
"Waitβthis can't just be your own idea!" Beatrice was keenly aware that something was wrong.
The two men then engage in a heated confrontation about their own intimate spaces, mixed with face pinching, small fists, high lifting, and a small discussion of magic.
At the same time, the male protagonist of this world, Caiyue Pleiades, is facing the biggest crisis since the crossing.
"-What!? Want me to leave!? β
In front of Emilia, Natsuki screamed when she was told the fact that she wanted to leave.
Emilia didn't expect Caiyue Pleiades to have such a big reaction at all, and hurriedly waved her hand, "You misunderstood, I didn't want to drive you away, I just think that Caiyue Pleiades should have a broader space, after all, staying in the castle can only be a servant, if you follow Rheinharut to the royal capital, maybe you can become a respected knight in the future......"
"I see." Cai Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and then returned to the appearance of a hippie smile, "But as for me, I don't have any ambitions at all, as long as I can be a little servant." β
This sentence is naturally a lie.
Suddenly summoned to another world, it is impossible to say that you don't want to do something big.
But he also had to find out why he would lose the day he met Emilia - until now, thinking back to that fateful encounter, Natsuki couldn't control his chest from getting hot.
I must have been summoned to this world to help Emilia.
Caiyue clenched her fists, full of anticipation for the upcoming expedition.
"No way!"
Natsuki Pleiades, who was determined in her heart, heard the voice of rejection again.
Emilia exhaled slowly, different from usual, her expression became extremely serious, "If you continue to stay in the mansion, you will definitely die." β
"What, what? Emilia don't say such terrible things. "Natsuki felt like she was being stung.
Stung by the indifference in Emilia's gaze.
It even made him a little skeptical.
Is your relationship with Emilia really as close as you think it is?
"Isn't it?"
A trace of guilt flashed in Emilia's eyes, but thinking about the words of Semiramis and Shen He, she still decided to let Caiyue Pleiades leave her side.
So she continued to say with a tense expression, "When we met for the first time, if it weren't for Shen He and them, you would have been killed directly by that intestinal hunter, and when I was in the mansion, I didn't have the confidence to be able to protect your safety in front of so many demonic beasts, not to mention that I still involved you in the war of the Great Expedition, Caiyue Pleiades has never trained in martial arts at all, and has not been on the battlefield - so even if you survive this time with good luck and continue, you will definitely die!" β
This large passage of words is undoubtedly a sharp knife piercing the heart for Caiyue Pleiades.
Because that's the part he's anxious about.
If he was summoned to help Emilia, then why haven't he helped her at all so far?
"But...... I volunteered...... I just want to repay you for your kindness. Natsuki made a pale defense.
"That's why it's not good!" Emilia bit her lip lightly, "If Caizuki Kemp works in the mansion ordinarily, even if there are some dangers, I will protect you, but you always have to run to dangerous places, and I don't want anyone to die because of me." β
"Anyone ......"
Natsuki's face was pale, and she looked at Emilia incredulously as if she had been struck by lightning.
In Amilia's eyes, she is just one of "anyone"?
"If you die to repay me for bringing you back...... I will only regret bringing you back then! Emilia finally expressed her feelings well.
The Pleiades are different from Rem, Ram, and even Rozval.
There was an agreement between himself and Rozval.
In order to participate in the king's election and become the king of the kingdom, no matter what danger is encountered and what price is paid, both parties must stick to the agreement.
However, Natsuki is just an ordinary person.
If the kindness of a job makes him pay for his life, he is simply deserved.
However, such words are like a big joke in the ears of Caiyue Pleiades.
As soon as he heard Rozval's approval of his ability to attract demonic beasts, even if he was doing such a dangerous job as bait, he didn't hesitate to agree, because he wanted to be able to help Emilia! Even if it's just once.
As a result, the heroine did not need it and refused his help.
Then he came into this world...... What is it for, exactly?
The reason and motivation that drove Natsuki's actions were suddenly on the verge of shattering, the pressure of this time, the strangeness of facing this world, and Emilia's indifferent expression, all of which were all combined.
I want to run awayβ
Natsuki couldn't control her hands and feet at all, just like she had run away from school.
He, fled.
His expression was as terrible as a zombie, without any warning, he ran with his legs open, no direction, no goal, he just desperately wanted to escape from that place, even if Emilia's voice came from behind him, it became a spell to push him to escape.
How so? What exactly am I here for? Am I abandoned?
"Damn...... Damn, damn it...... Damnββ! β
Natsuki's mouth was blank, and he didn't make a sound enough, and the violent running made him gasp for breath, and his chest hurt like fire, and his nose, tears, saliva or anything else all flowed out of his brain, mixed and stuck to his face.
Poof!
I don't know what stopped me from under my feet, and I fell heavily to the ground.
Didn't get up.
Natsuki silently held back tears and buried her face on the ground like an ostrich, as if this would be able to hide the cowardice that was exposed.
"It's dirty." A woman's voice came from not far away, "This scene is as disgusting as a pig's desire, Abu, let's leave." β
The woman left.
No one paid any attention to him.
Natsuki curled up, and the images that had traveled through to this day echoed in his mind one by one, Emilia's smiling face, Rem's smiling face, Ram's smiling face, and the faces of the villagers and children in the village, as if he wanted to draw strength, he kept recalling these images.
"Now."
A dry voice suddenly appeared in front of him.
The moment he raised his head, Caiyue's whole body rushed through an unprecedented cold.
It was a short, skull-like man.
It was not clear whether he was sexually identified, for he was hunched over, the outlines of his bones were clearly visible, his skin was as yellow as if it had not been washed in years, and he had hair long enough to drag down to his waist, and he wore a cloak that could be called a rag.
Is there such a person in the team of the Great Expedition?
Caiyue tried to think about it, trying to get an answer, and it was only at this time that he realized that his surroundings were unconsciously empty.
"Little brother, you look miserable."
The man who suddenly appeared, looking like a dying hungry, suddenly cracked his mouth, revealing a mouthful of intact, white, neat teeth.
Natsuki felt the chill again.
He hurriedly got up, the other party was just so thin that he was only a little more than half his height, and the difference in size between them finally brought a little pitiful sense of security to Caiyue.
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
Natsuki wiped her already pulpy cheeks with her sleeves and slowly stepped back.
"No, you're in pain!" The man in front of him took a step forward, his mouth completely different from the other dry parts not broken, and his bloodshot eyes were filled with a certain hunger.
The chill in Caiyue's heart finally reached its peak.
He couldn't even move.
He could only watch with great horror as the person in front of him stretched out his bone-like hands towards him.
"Tell me your name, and I'll put an end to the source of your pain and eat that delicious memory." The dry voice echoed in his ears, and saliva kept dripping from that big mouth.
