Chapter 39: A Robs a Prison?
(The details of the ending of the first volume made me think about it for a while, and I opened the second volume with a few chapters in the air, and since the reaction book was stuffy, I was a little brisk and undisciplined.) )
In April 999, the Chunhui Empire, the central dynasty of the Vermilion Bird Continent, ushered in the Spring Festival.
The annual spring festival comes to a grand end in the evening, but people are still immersed in the lively atmosphere of the festival.
The tavern in the imperial capital of Yichun is also very lively tonight.
Bards from all over the world accepted the tavern's warm invitation to offer paid performances to its guests in the tavern. They played the harp and sang the most popular stories of the year:
-- In the far south, there is a cruel country
The king lied to the prince as a princess, and the people lived on his singing as food
A young prince who lives in a terrible world of poison and assassination
However, when the monsters invaded and the country was destroyed, the prince held the sword alone
The golden hair was swallowed up by the darkness of the sword, and the wind blew on the battlefield with great power
People call him the Lord of Dusk -
"Hey, hey, how do I feel that this song has changed again, and every time I come over, the more I listen to it, the shorter it gets?" In the corner of the tavern, the man in the cloak was full of doubts: "Last time I heard the appearance of the unicorn, now there is only one sword to send people." ”
The sound is small, but the crisp and catchy timbre suggests that a woman is hidden under the cloak. If Xia Han was here, he would definitely be able to call out this woman's name - Bai Xue.
"Isn't this because of the restrictions on the royal side?" The waiter standing beside Bai Xue put a glass of wine in front of her, and unconsciously put down a note: "Today's spring festival, I think the night will be good." ”
With that, he bowed and left.
Bai Xue put the note on her body, picked up the wine glass and took a sip as if nothing happened: "You say this every time"
"But the reality is not good at all."
At night, a drizzle covered the streets, and the snow hid in the dark alleys, looking solemnly at the royal palace standing on the other side of the open square.
Today is the Spring Festival, and it is also the time when the palace is at its lowest defense.
Bai Xue has been here for two months, and finally she has found a chance - a chance to save Xia Han.
After the destruction of the Emerald Empire, all the countries of the Vermilion Bird Continent refused to accept refugees. However, to the surprise of the world, Xia Han actually put the symbol of the human king, the broken unicorn, on the negotiation table, causing all countries to compete for the first place.
Each country has more or less accepted some refugees in exchange for Qilin shards, and the most powerful Chunhui Empire has obtained the Broken Sword itself, as well as Xia Han himself.
The Chunhui Empire set up defensive magic in the palace to protect Xia Han from being robbed. However, they made a huge mistake, they set the object of defense to be humans, so that the female elf Shirayuki had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
The ancient Chun Clan royal family obviously didn't expect that there would be people outside the Jade Empire to rescue Xia Han.
Two months of preparation were not in vain, and Bai Xue succeeded. On the day of the Spring Festival, the defenses are the most complete on the surface, but the reality is more fragile than ever.
Following the guidance of the Virgin Ring, Bai Xue found Xia Han's room in a spire, and as a thief, she silently completed the assassination of the guards, and then opened the door.
"Long time no see."
The familiar and unfamiliar boy greeted her first, and even though his face had not changed, his hair and eyes had turned black.
Legend has it that this was due to the artifact Qilin sucking the color out of his body, but no one knows the exact reason.
"Little One"
Bai Xue, who was originally hiding her anger, had no intention of preaching after seeing Xia Han's smile, although this child was playing a little older this time, he still stuck to what the two said when they were separated.
That smile hasn't changed.
"As promised, I'm here to save you again."
Bai Xue wants to leave with Xia Han.
"Wait, you drag a guy in the door first." But before leaving, Xia Han asked Bai Xue to put the corpse of a guard in the room.
He explained to Shirayuki when he went out, "That room has induction magic, and it will sound an alarm if no one is around. ”
The two ran outside the palace, Xia Han had already spent his ninth birthday in prison, and this time he felt exactly the same as he had four years ago.
But it's actually different.
The Emerald Empire has been destroyed, and the crown and banner have been taken back by the kings of the Vermilion Bird Continent - Xia Han can finally find a way to freedom without caring about anything.
Or maybe the only pity is that he still hasn't been able to see Wujian.
"I said Sister Bai Xue, take me to the bath first, right? I want to wash it. ”
finally escaped from the palace, but Xia Han's request surprised Bai Xue.
"It's too dangerous, no." Bai Xue refused, she thought that the sooner the two of them left Yichun City, the better, and she didn't know what accidents would happen if they delayed for a long time.
Xia Han disagreed: "It's okay, they can't catch me." ”
Saying that, he didn't resist, and slipped out of the city with Shirayuki, and then found an inn in a village to stay.
Bai Xue went out to buy clothes, and Xia Han turned into an elf swaggering to take a bath.
After washing his body, he soaked himself in water and began to think about what he wanted to do in the future.
When the Jade Empire withdrew, Xia Han fought in order to squander the power of the Qilin, and the generals of the Beast Clan actually blocked the Qilin's shocking sword qi, which was originally not in history, which led to a huge change in the current situation.
The six human kingdoms of the Vermilion Bird Continent had obviously noticed the threat of the beast clan in advance, but they actually sent an envoy to the beast clan to say, 'We will give you the Qilin Continent, but you must sign a friendship treaty with us'. What's even more incredible is that the orcs actually signed it.
Xia Han asked about the illustrated book, and also read some of the information above, and he found that the original history of the beasts and humans did not sign a treaty.
In other words, whether the human alliance will have a war with the orcs in the future has become uncertain.
However, the culprit of this situation is Xia Han, and the Qilin fragment he took out attracted the attention of all the six human countries, and these countries are all studying the fragment and delusionally trying to remake the real Qilin, which leads them to put the beast clan aside.
If they knew that the core of the Qilin was still in Xia Han's body, and all they got was a fragment of power, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Xia Yun is gone with Ji Bai, and Bai Yue also has the protection of the church" Xia Han thought, there is no problem with the safety of other hot people, but where should he go?
Do you really want to go to the Magic Empire with Bai Xue?
"That's whatever." It's better to act according to Bai Xue's words first.
After taking a shower and drying his hair with magic, Xia Han returned to his room.
The brand-new coat that Bai Xue had bought was placed on the bed, but she herself sat on a stool resting with her eyes closed—as if she was tired. Xia Han had the idea of prank, he lowered his head and reached out to touch Bai Xue's lips.
"Ahh
The female elf woke up suddenly, she looked at Xia Han's face in amazement, and touched her lips: "You, you"
Her face was red and white, and then a green light flashed: "Die!" ”
"Hey!" Xia Han's figure flashed and appeared on the bed: "Your reaction is too much!" ”
Bai Xue's footsteps did not stop, and he took a dagger and deceived him: "Ascend the prodigal son, return the purity to me." ”
Her speed was so fast that Xia Han pounced and changed back to her human appearance without thinking about it.
The poisonous dagger came to a dangerous stop in front of his neck.
"Little one," Bai Xue's eyes widened.
"Yes, it's me." Xia Han took two steps back and wiped his sweat: "I just played with it, I didn't really kiss you, can you put it away." ”
He pointed to the dagger.
"I see, no wonder you're not worried at all tonight" Bai Xue slowly withdrew her dagger and looked at Xia Han: "Can you become an elf?" ”
Xia Han can turn into an elf to confuse the tracker, so it can be said that there is no difficulty in escaping.
"That's right." The danger was gone, and Xia Han returned to normal: "This is a side effect brought to me by the Kirin. ”
At this time, no one will doubt that anything is pushed to Qilin.
Bai Xue didn't doubt it, but her eyes flashed a few times, and suddenly a strange smile appeared: "Little guy, have you heard a word?" ”
"What?"
Xia Han's heart rose again.
"Pranks also have to bear the consequences of pranks." Bai Xue mentioned Xia Han and smiled at him: "You scared me a lot just now, my first kiss can't be given to outsiders casually, and you too"
She approached Xia Han with blazing eyes: "Although you are still a little younger, in order to ensure the purity of the two of us, your first kiss should be given to me first!" ”
"Hey! Wait, I have two words to say."
Xia Han failed - in fact, he was tempted to say that his first kiss was long gone.
A few minutes later
"Whirring strange feeling" Bai Xue blushed, staring at Xia Han's lips with some annoyance: "But will this softness and fragrance grow up?"
She suddenly realized that there were small benefits to being young.
[It's over.] 】
Xia Han's eyes were creepy when he looked at her, and he had a premonition that Bai Xue had awakened something that he didn't have before - this woman would become more and more infatuated.
"Sister Bai Xue" Xia Han swallowed his saliva, he felt that he must not go back to her hometown with such Bai Xue, otherwise it would be really difficult to fly: "Actually, I think it would be better if we didn't go to the Magic Empire." ”
"Huh?"
Bai Xue was stunned for a moment, and then her face was happy: "You think so too!" Then let's not go back! ”
“”
There was a bad feeling about the summer cold.
"Little one, let's go to the Sky Temple!" Bai Xue's eyes lit up: "I want to go there to see Her Royal Highness the Princess, in fact, I have only seen her on images and statues, so I want to see her with my own eyes"
"Sky Temple?"
"Yes, Sky Temple, the city of mages in the sky, little guy, aren't you a mage?" Bai Xue grabbed Xia Han's hand: "Let me pretend to be your maid, and let's go there to cultivate together." ”
"Ding Plot Discovery Activates New Plot: Apple of the Sky Temple, Difficulty D!"
"Sky Temple's Apple to complete the story condition: Pick up the apple that fell from the sky in the Sky Temple in the form of an elf to complete the story reward: New Encounter"
