187. Three beast slaves
Not long ago, on the outer wall of the castle, summoned by Eddie's remote orders, the leopard man Ika, the werewolf Cleaved Iron, and the cat subhuman Maggie had slave spell marks on their necks.
After losing the slave spell with Qiu Yi, Ika re-became Qiu Yi's son, Add's beast slave. He believes that instead of freedom, choosing to return to the gladiatorial arena or the battlefield can reflect his own value.
"Stop!"
Passing over the castle walls, one of the four guards patrolling the courtyard warned.
"Beasts and subhumans!? How dare you break into the castle! β
One of the guards raised the crossbow, ready to fire.
"That's Ica...!?"
The three beast slaves did not stop, and one of the two fell on all fours, and the huge leopard figure attracted the attention of the guards. He hesitated, because Ika the Leopard Man was the strongest gladiator, and everyone in Zebel City knew it.
Carrying two giant swords on his back, Chopper Iron was still nimble and swift, and he quickened his pace to lead the latter two, shuttling through the four guards as fast as lightning, knocking them out with ease.
"You're doing a good job," Ika complimented him, "and if I had to do it, I'd probably kill them with a heavy hand... Breaking into the palace and killing the soldiers is not a minor offense, even if Lord Eddie summons us in an emergency. β
Compared to Ika and Cleaver, Maggie's speed is much slower, as the sub-humans' bodies are very close to those of the Terrans, and they can only run upright on two legs, while the first two have longer and stronger forelimbs, and they can run almost twice as fast as Maggie.
They didn't wait for Maggie, and all three rushed to Add's side as fast as they could.
Straight through the courtyard, over the manicured trees, over the walls and roofs of the buildingβthe shortest distance possible, as fast as possible to the throne room.
He also stunned the guards who were in the way of the way, and for some reason, the closer they got to the throne room, the fewer guards patrolled.
Until I heard the rumbling sound of collapse in front of me, the throne room with bursts of smoke rising came into view, and the cause of the loud noise - the silver-white metal room slammed into the courtyard wall outside the throne room.
In an instant, the thought of being driven by orders in the hearts of the three disappeared.
This feeling of loss also made them slow down and their eyes became confused.
"Ika... Your neck...! Chopper Iron turned his eyes to Ika, who was walking side by side with him, "The slave spell is gone!?" β
The one who chops the iron is also... Ika also looked at the person in front of him, did not speak, gritted his teeth and quickened his pace.
Why is this happening!? Did Eddie-sama have an accident too!? In just two days, I have experienced two mourning!?
Ica couldn't believe it, and threw away the distance from Chopper, but Chopper didn't seem to be worried... Maybe Add is really dead, which causes the beast slave to lose its master and the slave curse to disappear.
It's not necessarily a bad thing, Chop Tie felt that the resolute eyes that had been the first for his master slowed down, and he instantly showed relief.
"What are you doing!? Why don't you catch up!? Ika said without looking back.
But soon, he didn't urge to cut the iron again, his speed did not decrease at all, it was good to have his own one, I hope that Lord Eddie's life is not in danger... Is it certain that the only possibility for the curse mark to disappear is that the master is dead?
Until Ika found the collapsed wall in front of him, and the Mithril vault placed there, standing Ryuge and Rodney.
"Remnants?" It was still far away, and Long Ge had just questioned Rodney why he didn't help Xia Zuo when he heard footsteps from behind him - the sound of large meat pads and sharp claws pressing on the stone slab.
"Xia Zuo feels that the vault needs support here, although I saw that you had opened it when I came out," Rodney walked a few steps, looking in the direction that Long Ge had noticed in the distance, revealing a sword that was as silver as the vault in the sun, "Now, you really need support..."
Instead of running wildly, Ika stood upright and walked slowly forward, "Rodney Knight... And the Harpy? β
Rodney was a knight who had accompanied the king to the Colosseum several times, and Ika knew him, and had heard a little bit of prestige, and yesterday he saved the king from an attack in the Colosseum.
Ika also knows Long Ge, and even though Long Ge can change into various postures, she still can't forget her unique skin color and appearance.
But a few steps further, the corpse behind the Mithril vault was revealed, with an elegant robe, shoulder-length brown curls, a twisted neck that turned face up, and a familiar face...
"Country, king!?" Ika exclaimed, "What's going on!? β
The other party didn't reply, but seeing Rodney standing side by side with the woman with his sword, Ika vaguely understood something, "You... Is it the creator of the turmoil in the gladiatorial arena? β
Although that is not a good statement, Rodney is the only one who created the conspiracy, and Long Ge did not refute it.
As Ika's speed slowed down compared to before, Chopper Iron and Maggie followed him in turn, accompanying him.
Seeing Long Ge, Maggie's eyes first widened in surprise, and then she remained composed, approaching her companion at this moment.
Maggie and Chopper also found out about the king's death, but did not say anything about it.
"Maggie, I haven't seen you for a day~" Long Ge beckoned to her happily, and the two sides were only more than ten steps away at this moment.
"Miss Longge..."Maggie's response was quiet and confused.
"Don't ignore me! Harpy! Ika's angry roar overshadowed Maggie's as she loosened the chain on her arm, allowing the Meteor Hammer to hit the ground and shatter the slate, "Are you rebels in the kingdom!?" What's wrong with Eddie-sama!? β
"Add? Who are you asking? Long Ge's eyes narrowed into a puzzled shape. She also has some impressions of Ika, the leopard man, who performed well in the finals of the top 32 of the gladiatorial arena.
The werewolf beside Ika cut iron, and he was quite impressed. When he looked at Long Ge, Chopping Iron nodded slightly in greeting.
Long Ge also nodded in response.
"Eddie is my slave master, Miss Longge... I introduced you to it when I was in the Colosseum. That's when Maggie interjected.
"Oh~ It turned out to be that guy, why did you ask me about him, as a stranger, even a little disgusting to me."
Long Ge's attitude made Ika very resentful, and his mouth was completely exposed.
But Maggie and Chopper don't care.
"Our slave spell is gone," Slash Iron began, "and our master, Add, is in the throne room behind you at this moment, before giving the order to assemble. β
"Needless to say, he's dead," Rodney said coldly, "Eddie, the son of Qiu Yi, is the weakest person on the scene, and it's not surprising that he would die first." β
"I don't believe it!" Ika the Leopard Man walked forward, the Meteor Hammer dragging behind him with a metallic scraping sound, "Get out of the way!" β
Add hadn't told Ika the cause of Qiu Yi's death, and the real murderer in front of him, Rodney, was just a Terran knight with some prestige to him, but for the sake of Eddie and the kingdom, Ika didn't mind offending him.
"Yes, my lord has told me that when the slave master dies, the slave curse will disappear, and you can see that you are free." The dragon singer said with a tapped chin, and looked at the clean necks of the three respectively.
"This path will not be allowed for you to pass, force your way..."Rodney raised his hand horizontally, and the loose sword fell vertically, immediately shuttling through the parallel circle to accelerate, "There is only death." β
