Chapter 9: The Monster of Desire
Refuse?
Of course, Xia Han did not refuse.
He even stopped running and stood in the rainstorm waiting for the moment to be found, but fortunately it didn't take long for the sound of heavy horses' hooves to arrive.
Tides of knights poured out of the darkness, raising banners of swords and flowers in the rain, wearing helmets with invisible faces, and stopped in unison in front of Xia Han.
[A group of gentlemen, do you have to bring a flag to be brave when chasing children? ] 】
Xia Han's heart ached, he had never heard of the team holding the flag of the kingdom to hunt down the prince - quite ironic.
"The invading female elf ran away?"
At the front of the line, two middle-aged men who took the lead approached Xia Han on horseback. One of them was a knight with a sword at his waist, and the other was a mage in a mage's robe.
Xia Han noticed that the mage's face turned pale, and guessed that he should be the owner of the White Eagle who had revolted with the contract.
"Without her breath, that slut is running away"
Sure enough, the mage's face was full of anger when he heard the female elf. The knight focused his gaze on Xia Han, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Your Royal Highness the little princess, you colluded with the elves to plot a rebellion, Your Majesty let us deal with it on the spot! Do you have anything to say? ”
Xia Han shivered, and the title of 'little princess' made him shiver. But deal with it on the spot - his uncle is so good that he doesn't have a chance at all.
His brain teaser spun quickly, the plot task of 'Wedge of Reversal' required him to kill a hero-level pursuer and leave Cheng Xi Grassland alive. To be honest - Xia Han thought it was impossible.
And the difficulty of the 'reversal wedge' is only 'b', which is even more incredible.
Obviously, at this time, Xia Han has to think according to non-'normal' thinking, which means that he can't dwell on the difference in strength: there must be a way for him to complete the plot task without effort.
What's that method? Could it be that he has mastered something that can turn defeat into victory?
Xia Han thought about it, and suddenly remembered something, and he decided to give it a try.
"Uncle, I have something to say."
So he looked up at the knight and tried to be as timid as he could: "There is a relic on the other side of the steppe. ”
Swallowing his saliva, Xia Han stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of the ruins.
"It's the burial ground of the King of Men, and I found something called a unicorn in it."
At this moment, the knight and the mage, who were originally a little careless, suddenly cheered up, and their eyes lit up.
There is a drama - Xia Han is secretly happy in his heart, he seems to be on the right track.
The Terran Supreme Treasure Qilin is the highest temptation for everyone who pursues power, thousands of years have changed, and the specific information about the inheritance of the Qilin has long been forgotten in the corner of history, and now few people can say it clearly except historians.
However, the Kirin itself is a well-known legend, some say that it is a powerful contract beast, and others say that it is an extremely powerful artifact - no matter what, neither the rider nor the mage present can maintain a normal mind.
They looked at each other, unable to see through each other's psychology.
"I think we should check it out"
"Yes, if it is genuine, Your Majesty will definitely reward us vigorously!"
The two laughed at each other a few times, and then rushed to the ruins with Xia Han together.
The knights followed, but after reaching the circular ruins, the two commanders made the march halt in unison.
"There may be a trap ahead, you guys stay first, let's go in and investigate."
The two of them walked into the ruins with Xia Han, where the huge unicorn statue stood in the torrential rain, the scaly figure still undamaged after thousands of years, in stark contrast to the barren ruins around it.
"Feel the fluctuation of the artifact?"
"No, but the statue looks a little weird."
The mage and the knight noticed Xia Han walking forward, they looked at each other, and stood in place with a guarded face and did not step forward to stop them.
Xia Han walked to Qilin's side, his eyes flashed at the keyboard, and finally reached out and clicked the start button. There was a "buzz" sound, and the unicorn's eyes lit up - but nothing else changed.
"This is this"
"That's right, it's Kirin!"
Xia Han didn't feel it, but the other two heroes found that the statue began to overflow with a trace of power, just an insignificant trace of breath, but it made them tremble with fear, and the urge to bow down welled up in their hearts.
Deadly powerful - it's a unicorn!
Even if it's not a unicorn, it's a rare artifact in the world!
"Your Majesty must be overjoyed."
The mage and the knight smiled at each other, and then blood flashed - the knight's sword pierced the mage's throat.
"Your Majesty is a fart, do you think I'll give you a chance to cast a spell?"
He let go of his hand, and the trembling sword slammed to the ground with the wide-eyed mage, and the blood gushing from the major arteries instantly stained the ground red.
The knight walked forward with a ruddy face.
This is the world of royal power, but it is also a world of power - five years ago, the first mage of mankind killed all the elite heroes cultivated by the empire for thousands of years, leading to the subversion of royal power and the mediocrity to power.
And as long as he gets the Qilin, this knight will become stronger than that mage, and he will no longer have to listen to anyone.
"Your Royal Highness Little Princess, tell me, how can I take out the contents of this statue?"
The knight asked in a cold voice, he didn't take Xia Han in his eyes at all, and he didn't even draw his sword. And not worried that Xia Han would rob him of his treasures, how could a weak child inherit the Qilin?
"There's a note on it"
Xia Han took two steps back in fright, his heart pounding - of course it was a beating of excitement, these two stupid big men killed each other so easily.
But he didn't lie, the unicorn really had an explanation of the inheritance method on his back.
The knight cautiously walked forward to look, and then looked puzzled: "Sitting on the back?" ”
He cautiously placed his hand on the back of the statue, and sure enough, he felt a force rushing into his body, but the force quickly stopped.
"Warning posture is wrongWarning posture is wrong"
The statue gives a warning, and the light fades. This startled the knight, and he hurriedly jumped to his feet and straddled the unicorn's back.
"Correct posture, start transferring"
A green light surrounded him, and then—"Well, this power is so good!! The knight began to scream cheerfully.
Seeing this scene, Xia Han couldn't help but cover his buttocks.
He remembered the behavior of the human king taking something out of the unicorn's ass, and shuddered again - this kind of chrysanthemum-like inheritance must have been deliberately arranged by that old man!
Thankfully, he didn't go straight up.
"God bless you"
Xia Han bent over the knight who was moaning on the back of the Qilin, the Qilin possession system was damaged, and this knight would definitely die of excessive energy in the end, and Xia Han could take the opportunity to escape.
He fled in the opposite direction.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the ruins, a group of swarthy knights was already standing outside waiting for him.
"I'll go with you!"
When a few long swords were placed around his neck, Xia Han wisely followed these knights. However, when he walked to the main army, the sight unfolding in front of him made him sick
The dead bodies of the knights were everywhere, the grasslands were dyed red under the rainstorm, and the scattered limbs and horses emitted the smell of blood. Of the nearly 1,000 knights who had been in the thick a moment ago, there were now only a handful of less than 200 left—and it was the companions of the deceased who caused this tragedy.
"Lord of the City, we have brought Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The knights brought Xia Han to another knight, who was dressed like the others. But as Xia Han approached, he took off his blood-spattered helmet, revealing the grim face inside.
When his eyes looked at Xia Han, a seeping cold air rushed down his waist to Xia Han's brain, which was not the eyes that a human should have. Or rather, the eyes of this city lord are not like humans, but like beasts.
"Lord of the Castle"
Another knight quickly arrived with a pale face, and whispered a few words in the ear of the middle-aged city lord.
"It's all interesting"
A sneer crossed the corner of the city lord's mouth, but his eyes did not take his eyes off Xia Han for a moment: "You did this?" ”
Although he asked like this, there was no doubt in his eyes - as if he had seen through everything, which made Xia Han feel creepy.
"Xia, the surname of the noble."
The castle lord's eyes wandered, and then he looked at the flag fluttering on the ground beside him. He put his hand on his waist, and Xia Han only saw a sword shadow, and the flag symbolizing the Wang family fell down.
A pair of blood-stained feet stepped on it and stepped on the pattern of flowers.
"I don't have a surname, and people who don't have a surname in this country have a surname and my name is Wujing."
"So I prefer thorns to flowers."
The city lord - Wujing did not collect his sword, and the long sword glowing with cold frost pointed at Xia Han: "Thorns and flowers, which one do you choose?" ”
The murderous aura was pervasive, and for a while, the summer cold was cold all over the body.
However, he understood that there was a monster in front of him—a monster of power, and a monster that could be used.
"Thorns."
So he made his choice.
After getting this choice, Wujing swung his sword and slashed - beheading the innocent subordinates around him.
"Get on his horse and follow me"
He didn't care whether Xia Han had learned to ride a horse or not, his orders were absolute - and all the while, the city lord did not show any interest in the Qilin. He knew that there was a treasure trove around him, but he ignored it and led the team south.
Perhaps the only thing that was unusual was that the city lord glanced north before leaving.
North Side-
A man in a cloak squatted stiffly, letting the weeds and rain bury his presence.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, things can become big trouble now"
He looked at the team of knights in the distance, and his heart was complicated. Although the little prince is safe and sound, he falls into the hands of a monster
The city lord of Jade City, Wu Jing, is the husband of Bai Ya, the bishop of the Jade Empire.
A careerist known to the world for the sake of power
