Chapter 17: Thor's Tracking
I was still wrestling with these meaningless things, when suddenly, the Magician said to me, "Brave adventurer, would you like to hear me tell us our story?" ”
Please, big brother, I'm waiting for you to answer my questions. If you want to say it, hurry up! I nodded, indicating that I would. The Magician continued, "I live in a small and impoverished village, where the medical facilities are relatively poor, and many diseases that can be treated are not well treated, resulting in many deaths. That year the village had a bad harvest, and the villagers rioted over food, and it happened that the princess came to the village, and the beautiful princess was like an angel who saved us, and she asked the priest she brought to save the people of the village with all her might, and took out all the two cities and distributed them to everyone. Everyone didn't starve to death. I met the princess at that time, and I was deeply attracted by her beauty and kindness. But I know that my status is low, but the princess is high, and the disparity between our identities cannot end well. But the princess did not dislike my origins, and met and knew me, and in the end we fell in love, and we spent a very happy time in the village. Suddenly, the king sent messengers to ask the princess to return. We all knew that it might be our affair that the king had found out, so he sent an emissary. I thought we might end up like this, but by chance, I met a magician in the mountains, he was old and frail and had no one to take care of him, I just stayed with him to take care of her for a few days, but he treated me like a son, and passed on his magic to me. At that time, I felt that as long as I was strong enough, I might be able to make the king change his attitude and accept me and the princess. Unexpectedly, the king let the princess marry! How can I tolerate my beloved princess marrying away from home? So I organized my own armed forces, and they were all people who were persecuted by the royal family in the country, and they were very willing to help me after learning what was going on with me. So I let out rumors that I wanted to do the princess badly. In order to intimidate the king and delay the princess's wedding. As long as I have enough strength to bring the princess out before then, I can fly away. Find a place where no one knows us and live an ordinary life. Adventurer, can you experience what it's like for your lover to be snatched away by someone else? Can you understand how I feel? ”
The Inheritor of Magic rambled on a lot, and I finally figured out what was going on. I said, why is this group of people just intimidating but not taking any real action, it turns out that it is just thunder and rain, scaring people!
But I can understand his mood very well at the moment, because I also experienced it at the beginning. But unlike him, I chose to run away, while he tried to fight for his own happiness. From this point on, we are far behind.
Suddenly, the magician handed me the letter in his hand and motioned for me to take a look. I didn't refuse, I took it and took a brief look, but I couldn't help but take a breath, the content is like this: Dear Delonger, I am very worried that I haven't received your letter for a long time. I'm very happy to have your news today. Delong, as much as I would love to be with you, my country and my father are in danger, and I cannot abandon all the expectations of my people and my father for the sake of my own happiness. I am ready to marry in a neighboring country, hoping that my marriage will bring peace to my country and my father, so that all the displaced people will have a safe home, and all the children who have lost their support will smile happily. Forgive me for my selfishness, I have the best memories of knowing you in this life, and I will never forget the happy days with you in my life. Forget about me, I'm not a person who deserves everything from you, I hope you can find your own happiness. The payment is Angelina, who loves you!
Damn, it's all written like this, and people forget about her? Does this princess have a brain problem? But after reading this, I can somewhat understand that the magic inheritor Deroner is very painful now, he is not a selfish person, if he takes the princess, it is likely to cause a war, more people will be displaced, and the soldiers will be buried in other places, which everyone does not want to see. That's why in ancient times, there was a way for princesses to marry. Exchanging a princess for peace is indeed the smallest loss! But this is also doomed to marry a woman who has no happiness at all. Pathetic, lamentable. No wonder there is an eternal lament of 'I wish I would not be in the emperor's house in the next life'.
The princess had already made up her mind, and I was their messenger for a short time, forcing them to accept the facts at hand. Delone leaned against the trunk of the tree and looked up at the blue sky, his eyes were misty but he was patient, and I could not find any words to comfort him. At the end of the day, it's just an NPC thing, and I'm just a little episode that pops up, and it's okay to come and go. But right now, I want to stay with Delonger, because I've been through it before, so I know how painful it can be.
Whoosh - suddenly, an arrow flew towards Delon, and before I could figure out what was going on, I saw Deronon wave his hand lightly, and when he reached the invisible magic barrier, the arrow stopped, and fell into the grass beside him with a thud. We immediately stood up and saw a group of soldiers suddenly emerge from the grass, their bows and arrows still open, and the target was only the two of us. When I saw this group of soldiers, I knew that something bad was going to happen, and I just wanted to tell De Long to leave, only to see a tall and burly figure walking from behind the soldiers, and when I saw him, I seemed to be being drunk on the head, and I was very dizzy, and then asked the person through gritted teeth: "You are following me?" ”
It's actually Thor! It's a person I can't have imagined anyway! If it was Jerrys, maybe I would still be able to accept it, then, why Thor?
Thor seemed a little guilty about following me, and bowed his head to apologize to me: "I'm sorry, I'm only a soldier, and a soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty!" ”
I immediately understood that feelings were the king's turtle bastard, and after learning that I had sent a letter to Angelina, I asked someone to send a message to Thor, asking Thor to follow me, hoping to find Angelina's sweetheart, Delonger, and look at it like this, I want to kill him and then quickly! I never thought things would turn out like this, I inadvertently brought death to Delonger, I was too careless. I turned my head and was about to say something to Delonger, but Delonger suddenly said: "This is my fate that I can't avoid from the Empire, Your Excellency, please step aside, I will face them alone." If I win, I will take Angelina at all costs, and if I lose, please don't tell Angelina about my death, I'm afraid she won't accept it. ”
The relationship Delong is all planned. I guess when I came, I estimated that the NPC attribute of Delong Er Gold was another magician, how could I not know that someone had broken into his territory? However, he waited here for Angelina's reply, and I didn't leave. After reading the letter, he didn't leave immediately, perhaps he had made a decision helplessly. Dead or alive, it all depends on this battle!
I was going to refuse, but the thought of De Long fighting for the woman he loved kept me out of my words. What I couldn't do at the beginning, De Long was doing it, and I was the one who didn't do his best to stop him. So I stepped aside, thinking to myself that I would never stand idly by if Delonger was in danger. Besides, there are some accounts that I have to settle with Thor.
When I stepped aside, De Long turned to me and said, "Thank you!" ”
I feel guilty in my heart, I really can't bear these two words. He could only smile helplessly, watching him face all the soldiers' bow and arrow attacks alone. As for Thor, he looked at me, as if trying to find something in me, but unfortunately, after my cold, slightly questioning eyes were thrown over, Thor's eyes flashed, and he turned his gaze away. At this moment:
Ding~ System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the [View Reason] (unique) quest, gaining 7000 experience points, 35 silver coins, and 200 reputation points.
At this time, the task was actually completed? If you think about it, yes, now that I'm their witness, everything should be over. It's just that I didn't expect that the last person I stood on was actually Delonger's side. Although Thor is just a duty, I just feel like I'm being taken advantage of. If I don't teach the king that turtle egg a good lesson in the future, I will be a man!
De Long Er waved his arm slightly, and a string of flames was summoned from his fingertips, as De Long Er slowly drew the spell, the temperature around him began to rise, only to hear De Longer's voice said heroically: "I have long heard that the city guard general Thor lives up to the name of God, is a famous victorious general." Today, let me, a nobody, have the honor to meet the general for a while, but our battle has nothing to do with this adventurer, please don't embarrass him. ”
Thor looked at De Longer, drew his long sword, and replied in a powerful voice: "This is natural, he has contributed to the empire, and we are definitely not embarrassed and willing to help the empire." ”
Thor is really shameless, he actually divided me on the side of the empire, is he showing off to Delonger? Or, rather, psychological warfare?
Delong smiled undeniably, and then suddenly urged the flames, and the indifferent little flames swelled up in an instant, turning into countless small fireballs attacking the soldiers on all sides, those fireballs were extremely fast, and many soldiers were hit by the fireballs in the blink of an eye, and they were burned instantly. Everyone who was frightened immediately raised their shields to cover them, only to hear the sound of dangdang, and the fireballs smashed those iron shields into small pits, which showed how terrifying the attack power of this fireball was.
Thor suddenly said: "Don't panic, gather together, back to back, raise your shield for defense!" ”
