Chapter 153: Life burns

It is the daughter of the Mercenary King and the current first heir of the royal family of Gelaru, Her Royal Highness Princess Alice.

However, now Her Royal Highness the princess, who was in a hurry, did not have the noble posture of a royal princess at all, but directly waved a big sword with both hands and slashed towards Roger.

As the daughter of the Mercenary King, Alice is of course well aware of how bad the Mercenary King's body is now: it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he is dying!

As the counterpart of the Angels, the Demon Clan is better at using dark curse magic to deal with problems than the Destroyer Demon Clan, who are in the same camp and prefer to solve problems with their fists.

And the devil nobleman who intended to assassinate the mercenary king but was killed by the mercenary king very easily, in line with the principle of a single person who has to pull a cushion even if he dies, gave the mercenary king a vicious curse at the cost of everything before he died.

This curse, called "Life Burning", was originally not going to have much impact on the powerful demigod-level master Mercenary King, after all, it was just a curse. Even if it was a curse cast by a devil nobleman at the cost of his own, the mercenary king, who was the darling of the god of war, only needed to find a high-ranking war priest of the War Church to dispel it.

After all, as the darling of the God of War and a demigod-level master, the Mercenary King already has a strong resistance to various negative effects, and a curse will not have any serious impact on him.

However, after this fierce battle, the old wounds on the mercenary king's body recurred, and as a result, Alice and the others, who were originally cheering happily for the mercenary king to kill the devil noble, found that His Majesty the mercenary king had fallen silently and quietly.

Luckily. When the devil nobles attacked the mercenary king Lance, only Alice and Charlotte, the daughters of the mercenary king, and the two old legendary powerhouses who were hiding in the dark to protect the royal family of Gelaru. Therefore, the news that His Majesty the Mercenary King fell into a coma did not spread, otherwise the Free Federation would definitely usher in a turmoil at that time.

The old wounds on the Mercenary King's body were left from the outpost battle of the Devil's Calamity known as the Little Demon Plague eleven years ago. At that time, the mercenary Wang Lance, who was already a top legendary master close to the demigod-level strength, had a death-to-death match with a demon archduke who had invaded the mercenary kingdom. The mercenary king Lance, who successfully killed the demigod-level demon Grand Duke with the strength of the legendary peak, was also severely injured by the powerful demon Grand Duke, and the hellfire from hell directly caused double damage to the soul and body of the mercenary king, and the remaining demonic power still lingered on the soul wounds of the mercenary king.

It is precisely because of the trauma of the soul that the mercenary king, who has entered the demigod realm after killing the demon Grand Duke, is still in the stage of entering the demigod level, and his strength has not improved in the past ten years.

It is easy to treat physical injuries, but the wounds of the soul can only be repaired slowly by time. But in order to make up for this soul wound, the first thing to do is to remove the demonic power that is entangled in the soul of the mercenary king. However, the demonic power that is entangled in the soul of the Mercenary King can entangle the Mercenary King for so many years, of course, it is not so easy to remove. For many years, the Cardinal of the War Church stationed in Siquelder often went to the mercenary palace to treat the darling of the god of war, and it took only ten years to get rid of most of the demonic power.

The bishop of the War Church, who had been quickly invited, thought it was time to dispel the demonic power for the mercenary king again. But when he came to the bed of the mercenary king, the cardinal, who was already very old, carefully checked the physical condition of the mercenary king who was in a coma, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

The curse of "Life Burning" will make the vitality of His Majesty the Mercenary King Lance continue to burn, and such a curse will make the injuries on the Mercenary King's body unable to be treated by magic and divine arts, after all, most magic and divine skills rely on stimulating life force to speed up the recovery of injuries. However, the residual demonic power on the mercenary king's old wounds makes this curse impossible to dispel, once there is divine energy into the mercenary king's body, it will break out with the demonic power in the mercenary king's body, and then the injuries caused by this conflict will not be treated due to the curse, and can only rely on the mercenary king's own strong body to resist.

So the mercenary king, who had easily killed the devil noble, did not suffer any damage. On the contrary, it was because of the tentative divine treatment of the cardinal of the war that caused a lot of injuries, which made everyone present at the time very helpless.

Of course, it doesn't work to just leave it like this, whether it's the "Life Burning" curse or the old wounds on the mercenary king's body, they are slowly and continuously consuming the mercenary king's vitality, and it takes a long time. Even if His Majesty the Mercenary King doesn't suffer any more damage, his life force will gradually be depleted.

Therefore, the old bishop, who had known the mercenary king for a long time, took out his treasured elixir of longevity, which was nourished by the massive vitality of the elixir. Finally awakened the Mercenary King. However, the old bishop, who had carefully examined the loss of vitality on the mercenary king, was very helpless to find that if he couldn't find a suitable way to replenish his vitality. The Mercenary King may only have one month left to live.

The mercenary king, who learned that he didn't have many days left to live, was very calm, but he couldn't rest assured that his two stupid daughters and the young grandson were just a little relieved.

Due to the curse of "Life Burning", the life force of the Mercenary King is constantly burning. In the last days of his life, the mercenary king felt that he was full of energy. Under the continuous influence of the curse, the mercenary king, who fell into a state of excitement and could not sleep peacefully, has been working day and night for several days to deal with various affairs, trying his best to arrange his afterlife.

Alice, who was working so hard like her father, couldn't stand it, so she took over the government affairs in the hands of the mercenary king, and then drove her father to the courtyard to relax.

However, Alice never expected that when she heard the strange noise in the courtyard and hurried over, she would actually see such a scene: the guards who fell to the ground, her father who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and the masked man who was turning his magic at his father!

"There are assassins!" As soon as this thought came to mind, Alice had already subconsciously rushed forward. The [Red Lotus] big sword in his hand directly slashed out a fiery red fighting qi and flew straight towards Roger.

Roger, who was carefully checking the mercenary king's physical condition with magic, didn't look at this sharp blow, and the jasper bamboo in his hand casually slashed towards this fighting spirit. With a blow from the strong dragon fighting aura, this fighting qi was directly slashed and easily dispersed.

Alice still rushed forward with her sword unrelentingly, so Roger, who was frowning, directly knocked him away with a stick. Then he casually unleashed a natural magic "Entanglement", and the rapidly growing blades of grass where Alice landed directly tied up the clumps of her.

Alice, who was desperately struggling, was helpless to find that this was just an "entanglement technique" performed on the grass on the ordinary courtyard lawn, so that she couldn't break free!

After two more attempts, Alice, who knew that she would not be able to break free in a short period of time, gave up the struggle in despair, and then glared angrily at Roger, who looked suspicious with a covered face.

Roger, who was frowning, completely ignored Alice's gaze and patiently checked the mercenary king's body. However, looking at the mercenary king who seemed to be smiling in front of him, Roger knew very well that this king had already understood his origin.

You must know that the natural magic of a druid is not something that anyone can use casually, especially a legendary druid like him who can use a "entanglement technique" to entangle Alice, who is close to the legendary in strength, will definitely not be a nameless person. In addition to the light attribute of the dragon fighting spirit. The mercenary king, who has the son of a dragon knight, should already know who he is.

However, even after guessing Roger's identity, the mercenary king still did not completely relax his vigilance, and the tense muscles on his body showed that the king could give Roger a hard blow at any time.

After careful investigation twice, Roger took out a crystal bottle from the space bar, and in the crystal bottle was a small mouthful of moon-white liquid.

"Oh, moon well water? Good thing, but it's a pity that this thing is useless to me. The mercenary Wang Lance raised his eyebrows, the moon well water is a healing holy relic among the elves, and the amount of this blessing from the moon god has never appeared on the market.

Looking at Roger, whose body was already frozen. The mercenary king said with a smile: "Although the moon well water is said to be a healing holy product that all races can drink, its essence is still from the divine power condensation of the neutral moon god, so it still doesn't work for me." ”

With a sigh, Roger put away the moon well water. Then he slowly took out another bottle of potion. It can be seen that Roger, who took out this bottle of potion, was very hesitant.

Even in the Emerald City, which has a moon well, the moon well still does not produce much water. However, Roger, who is the lord of Emerald City, can still come up with a lot, so he didn't come up with the best choice.

And looked at the bottle of potion in Roger's hand that seemed to have a strange aura. The mercenary Wang Lance casually stuck the giant sword in his hand on the ground, and then patted Roger on the shoulder hard: "I can't see it." You have a lot of good things on you, what kind of potion is this? ”

Roger, who was half numb by the mercenary king's "gently" pat, smiled bitterly and glanced at the potion that had been directly snatched by the mercenary king in his hand and said, "Seriously, I really don't want to take this thing out, after all, the name of this thing is a bit too loud." ”

"Oh?" Before Roger could finish speaking, the Mercenary King unscrewed the cork, and then drank the potion in the surprised and terrified eyes of Roger, the guards, and Alice.

“…… After all, this Marus's secret medicine has been ......" Roger in shock said the words that came to his lips, and then watched speechlessly as the face of the mercenary Wang Lance instantly turned from white to red, from red to green, from green to blue, and then from green to black. In just a moment, the face of this powerful demigod-level master changed several times, and then in the shocked eyes of the guards and Alice, the mercenary king's body shook slightly, and the potion bottle in his hand slowly slipped down.

The mercenary king, whose body fell backwards, suddenly reached out and held the giant sword at his side, then stood up straight against the giant sword, and then slowly exhaled a long breath: "Is this the most terrifying potion in the history of the rumored one?" It's really strong! ”

"Well, what's wrong with you?" Then he saw the guards with very strange faces, Alice with a tangled face, and Roger who seemed to see something incredible.

"This is the second person I've seen who can survive Marus's secret medicine." The corners of Roger's mouth twitched, he had always thought that no one but Aisha could withstand the potion.

You drank the medicine of unknown origin, what if it was poison, did you think about our feelings? The guards didn't say anything, but the resentment in their eyes was enough to say it all.

Even Alice, who had been lifted by Roger's entanglement, looked at her father speechlessly, with a helpless face.

However, looking at the ruddy mercenary king at the moment, Alice and the guards were more happy in their hearts. After all, except for Alice, even the guards knew that the mercenary king seemed to be a little uncomfortable recently, and he kept his face tense all day.

At the same time, the guards and Alice put away their weapons. As for Roger, who is of unknown origin, everyone can now be sure that this guy is not an enemy.

The mercenary Wang Lance directly smiled and beckoned Roger and Alice to his study, while the guards scattered and continued to patrol. But I also want to know that the mysterious Roger should be a topic that they will continue to discuss again and again in the next time.

took Roger to his study, and the mercenaries Wang Lance and Alice glanced at each other, and then asked Roger with a straight face: "There are no outsiders now, can you show your identity?" ”

"Hmm." Roger, who had canceled the Orb of Deception, bent slightly in the surprised eyes of the Mercenary King and Alice that could not be concealed: "Jack, a child of nature from the Night Elves, a reserve member of the Dragon Knights, and the Lord of Emerald City. Luo, I've seen two! (To be continued......)
