"I am glad that you have been able to stop the further expansion of the Spirit's scourge this time, and have shown decisive judgment. However, the casualties of the people in your territory are too heavy for me to praise you for a reason. ”

"Yes, I understand."

The king didn't know whether he was complimenting or sarcastic when he said this, and when he heard this, he lowered his head deeply, and his face turned pale. The point is that the rate of reproduction is too fast, and it only takes one to enter the crowd and parasitize all the people in the blink of an eye. I have to admit that if it weren't for the fact that Xi Shangjue immediately slaughtered nearly 100,000 hosts, I am afraid that the entire continent would have been affected. It's obviously turned the tide, but it's not commendable at all. The reason is simple

Xi Shangjue glanced at Nikoyid and Yuanhuang behind him with his spare eyes.

The former is very shameless. I already knew about the sparrow, and immediately withdrew all the people from the wall, standing on the wall and staring at the sparrow in a daze, not shooting an arrow or killing a single person, in order not to bear any infamy, after all, in the eyes of innocent people, the people who were parasitized are still their families. Nikorids waited boredly, waiting, until whoever killed the host with their own hands. Because of this perfect performance, Nikorid was promoted to the rank of Shangjue as he wished.

The latter is even more evil. Obviously, in order to stop the spread of the spirit sparrow plague, Xi Shangjue gave the order to slaughter the host while dripping blood in his heart. It can actually shuttle through the flock of sparrows without injury, annihilating them one by one, and not hurting any host. I don't know what kind of magic was used. She is the biggest hero of this incident.

He felt like a clown.

His anger was all unconsciously aimed at Yuan Huang.

"Okay, this is the end of the Sparrow incident, and you must do your best to stabilize the people's hearts and minds and speed up the post-disaster reconstruction work. Sishanjue, you are responsible for making sure that there are no more sparrows that have slipped through the net, and if sparrows appear again in your territory, don't blame my men for being ruthless. ”

What else can Xi Shangjue say, he can only bow his head in the promise.

The king sighed, and said to the Northern Shangjue: "You are responsible for thoroughly investigating the assassination of the Eastern Shangjue, and give me a result within a week." ”

"Me?" Bei Shangjue, who had been silent beside him, was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask, "Why me?" ”

The king frowned: "Unwilling? ”

"No, no, it's just a little ...... Confused. ”

The king beckoned, and the minister beside him handed him a tray of flannel with gold trim on a red background, on which was placed a bottle of dark purple potion. "This is the corpse poison found from the corpses of the assassins in the castle of the Eastern Shangjue, and it seems that only you in the Northland have it. Do you need to be taught what happened next? ”

Bei Shangjue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, not to suspect him. "Obey the order, and we will immediately and thoroughly investigate the source, flow, and all the ins and outs of the poison, and within a week we will definitely give a result satisfactory to Your Majesty."

The king nodded in satisfaction.

Stand up.

Before leaving the throne hall, he added heavily: "Dare to assassinate Shangjue...... Severe punishment will not be granted, and all relevant persons will be punished as treason, and no one will be left. ”

"Yes!"

The king departed, and the minister announced that the people could retreat.

When everyone stood up and turned around and walked out one after another, Yuan Huang was quietly stopped by the minister. The minister was worried that Yuan Huang, a celestial mage, did not know the rules, so he specially reminded him not to leave the palace for the time being, and the king would summon him alone later.

All right.

Yuan Huang is indeed still happy because he is about to acquire the title of Knight, and there is no reason to say no.

When he walked out of the throne hall not far away, he saw many people waiting for them to meet the king in front of a wide staircase in the palace.

Ah, it's Dai Xingquanli!

Yuan Huang saw Dai Xingquanli at a glance, because the latter was very maverick and easy to recognize. He has always had an inexplicable affection for Dai Xingquanli, probably because they are also people hated by the prophet, and they feel like comrades-in-arms.

"Ah, buddy!" Yuan Huang walked over with his arms open to Dai Xingquanli, gesturing to hug.

Of course, Dai Xingquanli was confused, and hugged Yuanhuang along with the atmosphere. The two hugged each other and patted each other on the shoulder.

"Forehead......" Dai Xingquanli's expression was very embarrassed, and she asked in a low voice, "I didn't expect that you would recognize me for a while, and you deserve to run a restaurant." ”

it!

Yuanhuang made a major mistake!

To be honest, he had exhausted all his brain power and attention in the unfamiliar throne hall, and once he walked out of the hall, his whole body relaxed as if he was deflated. For a while, I forgot that I was not a "source phoenix" now, but a "rain culvert bed" wearing a mask. The former once met Dai Xingquanli with Xiao Youxiang, and the two sides talked and laughed for a long time (thinking that they were friends), not brothers but also friends; The latter only met in a hurry when they were in the restaurant, and they didn't say anything.

Don't panic, I can handle it, this mistake is not a big deal!

Yuan Huang immediately changed his words and said, "A man like Dai Xingquanli 'Xia Jue', who is both handsome and graceful, and a woman from the heavenly realm like me, is hard to forget with just one side." ”

It's just a joke that Yuan Huang wants to drag the slip of the tongue back as much as possible. However, jokes are often not applicable to people who are not familiar with each other, and Dai Xingquanli immediately felt displeased when she heard it, especially when she heard that the word "chivalrous" was reread, and she suspected that it was being satirized. Of course, it is impossible for a person like him to show any emotions on his face.

"Xia Jue", a small title, Dai Xingquan Li regarded it as a shame, but it was something that a commoner like Yuan Huang could not ask for. Yuan Huang only recently desperately wanted to get the title of chivalry, and sincerely envied Dai Xingquanli, so he deliberately reread the word "chivalrous".

The displeased Dai Xingquanli raised the corners of her mouth slightly, raised her chin and said to Yuan Huang: "I would be happy to invite you on a date, Yuhan Bed, as long as you are willing to take off the mask, let us all have a look." Of course, Dai Xingquanli knew that the other party would never take off the mask, otherwise why would he wear it in the first place?

"It doesn't have to be."

"Isn't it because you don't have confidence in your looks?"

"No, I mean dating or something, no need."

“……”

These words made Dai Xingquanli a little unable to get off the stage, especially since the two of them stood in front of the stairs and talked, which had attracted the attention of some people around them. He gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that this mother-in-law really didn't give face, and she came to find fault on purpose. However, he and Yu Hankou seem to have no grudges at all...... Is she really just a crazy woman?

Yuan Huang suddenly remembered something and said, "Speaking of 'dating', do you really like Xiao Youxiang?" ”

Dai Xingquanli began to feel a little unable to keep up with the other party's train of thought. He has been wandering around the aristocratic circle all year round, and he is very good at listening to the other party's words, but ...... He really couldn't figure out what the other party was trying to say. "Of course, it's just that the marriage contract seems to be a bit ...... Variation. ”

Yuan Huang wanted the title of Chivalry in order to meet the three conditions proposed by the Teleportation Emperor, and the achievement of the conditions was to marry Xiao Youxiang, and marrying Xiao Youxiang was to let the Teleportation Emperor fulfill his wishes, so that the energy of the artifact fragment would be greatly increased. In other words, Yuan Huang doesn't have to marry Xiao Youxiang, wouldn't it be better to let Dai Xingquanli rush forward and then reap the benefits of the fisherman himself?

"Lord Xiajue, if you want to marry Xiao Youxiang, I can help you."

“…… Yes, thank you for your kindness, but I get it. ”

Dai Xingquan Li was about to explode when she heard it!

Chivalrous knights, always mention chivalrous, mention your mother! How dare this rain culvert bed humiliate me in front of all the nobles! The bosses of all the other merchant groups are loyalists, and I'm the only one who is a knight!

First of all, I deliberately reread the word "chivalrous lord", sarcastically saying that my identity was not enough, and other loyal lords who had nothing to do with the spirit sparrow were present, and even she could be promoted to the king, but I had to wait outside the door; And then so bluntly refused to date me, I was joking, you ugly bastard in a mask; In the end, he said that he would help me pick up girls, and now people all over the world will think that I Dai Xingquanli is a waste who can't even be a woman on her own.

He was sure that this female mage had come to find fault today.
