Chapter 53: Eight O'Clock Romance Drama (II) (7/10)

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay, you call it the way of the other to give back to the other."

Mu Yan waved his hand again and again.

Lancelot gave him a strange look.

"You're right, it's Vigna. And even more coincidentally, just as I was over fighting with the black dragon and rushed back to find that it was the unconscious Venia who had been captured by it, Leo appeared with someone. ”

Tsk, it's really: fate, wonderful.

"It could be seen that Leo was in a bad mood, and his attitude towards me was not very good, and I attributed it to anxiety at the time."

At this he chuckled, as if to laugh at his own stupidity.

"I invited him to rest in my castle, but he refused, insisting on taking Vignia away, and I couldn't stop him. However, that same night, he suddenly knocked on the city gate, saying that Venia had contracted a strange disease, that the magic scroll was ineffective, and that she needed full treatment.

So I settled them both in. The next day, the mage in the territory came to me and sent a message from the Jialan headquarters of the Morning Star, saying that he had an urgent matter to discuss with Leo back to the city, so he had no choice but to entrust Vigna to me, and told me to take care of her. ”

It's over, Mu Yan thought in his heart.

(I know you think so too)

"I didn't think much of it after arranging the priest and the pharmacist, but in the middle of the night, a shallow cry suddenly came from outside the quiet house."

The nights in the wilderness are cold and dry, the doors of every house are closed, and there is basically no noise except for the sound of the wind, so it is particularly quiet when there is no wind, plus it is a well-guarded lord's mansion, and the person concerned is a sword master with six senses, so he can naturally hear this strange sound. Therefore, Mu Yan did not doubt the authenticity of this matter.

I followed the crying to the door of Vinia's room, knocked lightly, and the crying inside stopped. I was worried that it would cause gossip, so I wrote a note through the crack in the door and asked her if it mattered, and she handed me a piece of paper with a thank you on it, and then there was no sound.

"I was not very relieved, so I sat quietly at the door all night, and when it was almost dawn, I saw a piece of paper handed out and asked if I was still there, and I replied truthfully. Then we talked in this way for a while, and she said that she was tired, so I hurriedly took my leave. ”

"What did you all talk about?" Mu Yan couldn't help but ask.

"She asked me what kind of person Leo was, and I said that Leo was a great king, a good man. She asked me if Leo had been as suspicious as he was now, and I thought about it, thinking that they might have had some emotional problems, so I didn't continue the conversation, but changed the subject. She seemed to sense my thoughts, so she didn't say much. ”

"The incident passed quickly, and after three days she was fully recovered, and I escorted her out of the wilderness.

"I thought we wouldn't see each other again, and guess what?"

"The dragon is here again?"

Lancelot stared at him in a daze, as if he were stunned.

“…… I'll just say it casually. Mu Yan was more nervous than him, as half a writer, he subconsciously followed the clues given by the other party to chat, and as a result, he died of chatting.

"You guessed it." Lancelot sighed: "A year later, the dragon came again, the same plot as last time, the same coincidence, the same illness, and then Leo was called back by something important, even I thought there was something strange in it."

"After that, it happened every year, and for four years in a row, Leo's attitude towards me became worse and worse, and I could see that his suspicion of me was getting stronger, so in the fifth year, I made a special trip back to Morningstar for a whole year."

"And that dragon didn't come this time?" He couldn't help but ask.

"No, you guessed it wrong." Lancelot smiled bitterly, "It came, took one look at me, and ran away." ”

“……”

"Leo was almost in armor that year, the towering walls of the Morning Star were always ready with crossbows, even the magic cannons were brought out of three, and the mages of the Jialan Association were on standby, ready to attack, but the black dragon just glanced at me from a distance, and then left with a roar.

"When it left, Leo was furious, and pointed his sword at me, saying that I had instructed the black dragon to come and rob Queen Venia, and that out of nowhere he had taken out the note we had used to talk about it, saying that it was evidence of cheating. I couldn't argue, so I had to use my sword to prove my innocence, promising to use the rest of my life to kill the black dragon and give him an explanation. ”

"In order to find that dragon, you became a necromancer?"

Hearing this, Lancelot looked at him with that "you're still too young" expression and shook his head.

"No, it's a lot more interesting than you think, the day after I made my promise, the dragon crashed and died in a pit twenty miles outside of Morningstar."

"......" Mu Yan's expression was the same as eating, and he couldn't understand why things had developed like this.

"It just so happened that during that time, the swordsman regiment was going to change its armor, and Yuni, as the head of the regiment, was worried that there was a problem with the source of materials, so he personally went to the mine to supervise the work, so after seeing the familiar black dragon planted dead in the mine, he immediately blocked the news, and then sent someone to secretly inform his sister. When Vigna learned of this, she hurried to persuade me to leave, and I stubbornly believed that there was nothing innocent between us, and there was no need to explain, so I had an argument with her, and at that moment Leo appeared, and he thought that we were going to elope, and in his grief drew his sword and slashed at me.

"I was furious that he was the king of the Morning Star, but he was mediocre, and I quickly struck his sword away, told him that I was innocent, and that I should stop suspecting Queen Venia and return to the Savages. But what I didn't expect was that a month later, he would lead his troops to fight in the name of quelling the chaos.

"I put up with it again and again, but in exchange for such an ending, it was really uneasy, so I subdued him again, and told him that I had no interest in anything about him, and that if he tried harder, I would not stay.

But my words seemed to him to be an insult, and he began to grow in strength as if sacrificing his sanity, and with it an aura of more tyranny and terror, and in a short time he was able to draw with me.

"Then he began to slaughter my people, and the dead would soon become a new force to join the battlefield, and so on and so forth, snowballing through my territory. As you may have discovered, this is the earliest necromancy. ”

Mu Yan nodded like pounding garlic, and the excitement of the story was far beyond his imagination.

"Then came a tragedy, in order to save my people, I could no longer fight him, but spread out the field to strangle the dead, so I quickly exhausted my strength, and then I fell into disadvantage after being entangled by him. Just as I was about to be killed by him, Vigna arrived, trying to evoke the last shred of Leo's humanity.

"You can say that she succeeded, and you can say that she failed. Leo did wake up, but he thought Vigna was there to save my life, so he tried to kill both of us.

"I couldn't do anything in the face of that kind of power, but at that time I was still a little lucky, and it was an honor to die with the woman I loved the most. However, the matter was not over, the golden dragon that fell from the sky saved me, but it did not save the seriously injured Venia, and in the cold wind howling over the wild land, her body lost its temperature little by little, and finally died in my arms. ”

Lancelot's voice was calm and soft, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him.

"At the last moment of her life, she told me that she had repaid Leo for her love with her life, and now she could finally say those three words to me without any qualms.

"But she didn't have time."

He paused, the corners of his mouth twitching a few times.

"Then I asked the dragon why he saved me, and he replied to me, but I didn't understand the dragon's language, and I still don't know what he said.

"The golden dragon took me to the Hogarth mountainside, where I found a Skadi ice crystal, used it to freeze Vigna's body, and slowly recuperated. About a month later, the dragon found me again, and he seemed to realize that I didn't know the dragon language, so he made a special trip to learn the lingua franca, and he told me that Venia's soul went to a place called Heru, and if I wanted, he could teach me how to enter Heru for free. ”

"What's that dragon's name?" Mu Yan hurriedly asked.

Lancelot shook his head.

"He never mentioned his name, and he didn't answer when I asked."

"So that's how you became a necromancer?"

"Let's just say that I used to call myself a soul snatcher back then."

"Soul Snatcher?" A flash of inspiration flashed in Mu Yan's mind.

Soul Grabber...... Heru ...... Nilferheim...... Granny Oumar? So many keywords evoke a precipitated memory, which is almost 200,000 words from now.

"Then how did you come to the Wind Firmament?" He hurriedly asked.

"That's another story." Lancelot shook his head, seemingly reluctant to talk about it. "I haven't heard from Leo since, the Savage Lands have become dead because of him, the Empire is in turmoil, and then I heard that Arthur and Yoni supported one of our distant cousins to the throne, but I was so bent on resurrecting Venia that I didn't care about it. Maybe it seems to me that I have already died once, and I have given so much for Morningstar, and it is time to let go. ”

"That'...... Queen Vigna's ...... Is it still with you? ”

Lancelot, naturally realizing that he was "corpse", got up and led him to another room.

Mu Yan almost knelt on the ground when he saw Venia lying still, and he cautiously asked with one ten-thousandth hope: "Does Queen Vignya know many languages?" ”

"After she went to Morning Star, she was not only the queen, but also the most distinguished diplomat, mastering the language of a dozen small city-states around Morning Star, and unifying it into Samika, which even the foreign minister lamented to himself."

Mu Yan swallowed his saliva and asked unrelentingly: "What was Queen Venia's surname Morning Star before?" ”

"Jones."

With a "plop", he fell to his knees.
