Chapter 81: Free Choice

February 11, 528 at 14:30 in the Magic Calendar

Hongying's mind flashed over the friends of the academy, the little girl and Tianyu, their hands had been placed on the ground unconsciously, and the magic power was poured into the ground from the body little by little.

The magic of the red glow turned into the root system of the shandan flower, and she strained into the dry and hard loess, and she swallowed hard.

Marshall looked at Hongying and asked her in a low voice, "How is it?" Are you alright? Your face doesn't look very good. ”

Hongying looked at Marshall slowly and said, "The soil here is too hard, it shouldn't have rained here for a long time." ”

"And you'll rest for a while?"

"It's okay, when I flew up with Frona just now, I found that there is an invisible dome on the Forbidden Island, and the water that evaporates here must have gone somewhere else, and if I find the water, maybe I can break through the curse of the Forbidden Island."

"Moisture? Didn't there be water in that lake just now? Marshall poked his head out and looked at the summoning horse, which was walking slowly back and forth.

"It's a small pond, it's not enough, and it's going to be discovered very quickly."

"And what kind of water are you looking for?" Marshall whispered.

Hongying licked her somewhat dry lips: "I'm looking for groundwater, do you remember the lake in the academy?" ”

"Oh yes, that lake was originally formed using water from Rose Ridge, but isn't it broken?"

"But the water level of the lake has never dropped, and there must be groundwater to support the circulation system."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure, I'm talking nonsense, I think maybe I can find it." Hongying rolled her eyes.

Marshall squatted down and looked at Hongying: "You look like you can't hold it anymore, do you need me to stimulate you." ”

Hongying frowned: "Marshall, you'd better be quiet for a while, you give me a look, it's annoying!" ”

Hongying bit her lip, her roots getting deeper and deeper, and she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Hongying breathed a sigh of relief, and Marshall immediately looked at Hongying: "How is it?" What was found? ”

"There's groundwater, and it's supposed that Frona's mother can't wrap it up completely." Hongying pouted and looked at Marshall a little unhappily, "If I hadn't had to find your flute, there would have been a way to escape now." ”

Marshall was also unhappy: "You think I'm willing to lose it, but this flute is very important to me." Do you have a way to break the formation? ”

Hongying stopped and struggled again: "I think I should tell them anyway." ”

"If you tell them, they will do something to you, and you don't want to hurt them, so we just run away? The road was full of thorns, and we couldn't outrun the horses. ”

Hongying held her hands on the ground and sighed: "Then what should I do?" Hongying thought for a moment, "Let's slip away first, and then break the formation." When I find your flute, I tell them that you run first. ”

"Why do you have to talk to them? Why is your temper tantrum gone? How did you become so gentle, it's not like you. ”

Hongying puffed out her mouth: "Are they hostile to us, why should we destroy other people's homes?" ”

Marshall glared at Hongying and twisted his tied body: "This is called no hostility?" We're tied up right now! ”

Marshall and Hongying stared at each other and fell silent.

As Flona walked around the small pond-like lake, the pony walked over: "Your Royal Highness, please don't blame us. ”

"Didn't you say you wanted to prove that Hongying was not a princess? How do you prove it? ”

"Of course, there's no way to prove it, and we haven't proven anything by relying on the same magic as the princess."

"In case Hongying is really a princess, is it really okay for you to tie her up like this?"

"She's a princess, and you're a princess. Just because she's human, is she inherently superior to you? The pony glared at Frona with wide eyes.

Frona shook her head, "Why don't you just want to believe her?" ”

"Then why do you trust her so much?"

"I believe in her because I feel she's a good person."

"So I kidnapped what you thought was a good person, am I bad now?"

Flona's anger rose a little: "You are just a squire by my mother's side, what right do you have to order me!" ”

The pony took two steps back, raised its front hooves, and neighed twice.

Frona looked at the pony, her ears pricked up. Frona stepped forward on her front hooves, then kicked hard with her front hooves, lifted her front hooves, and flapped her wings twice. Then he rushed towards the pony.

The two mares fought, and the pony kicked and stomped on Frona, who hit the pony back with the same force. The horses around them looked towards them, and even Marshall and Hongying, who were in the stable, heard their voices.

Hongying stopped her preparations, and she and Marshall poked their heads out to watch the two horses fight. Hongying whispered, "It's the first time I've seen horses fight." ”

Marshall watched with relish: "I didn't expect horses to fight so funny." ”

Hongying strained Marshall: "What's so funny about this, you're funny." Tied up in the stables to watch the horses fight. Hongying asked, "Why do you think they are fighting?" ”

"To be a leader?"

"But Frona is a princess."

"Maybe you have to rely on your ability to convince the public." Marshall nodded.

Hongying looked at Flona: "Is Verona going back?" ”

"Who knows, if she wins, we'll be able to leave?"

Hongying raised her eyebrows: "Do you want them to gamble?" ”

Marshall smiled and nodded: "Well, you can give it a try." It's a big deal that Frona loses, and we'll sneak away. ”

Hongying leaned on the wooden board and looked at them and said, "Frona, I bet that you will win, and when the time comes, you will have the right to speak, and you can let us go." ”

The pony took two steps back and looked at Hongying: "You think so beautiful, even if Frona wins, I won't agree." ”

Flona looked at the pony, "Pony, you don't think I can't win against you, do you?" ”

"You have wings, and it's very possible to win, but if you want to make a bet, I won't agree to continue to duel with you."

Hongying looked at the pony: "Since you don't want to gamble, it doesn't matter, we will have a way to break this magic array." ”

The pony said, "What do you mean?" ”

"There is a loophole in the curse of the so-called Forbidden Island here, and I have just found it. Originally, I couldn't negotiate terms with you because I was afraid that Frona would find it difficult, but now that Frona has made a decision, I can do it. Hongying looked at Frona and asked, "I want to make sure again, do you really want to let us go?" ”

Frona looked at Hongying: "I believe in you, I believe in myself, and I also believe that we won't hide here forever." ”

Hongying nodded and walked out of the stable: "Then I also believe that you will win." ”

"Can you really break the formation?" Flora asked.

Hongying touched Frona's neck: "With you, I can feel infinite power flowing through my body, although I don't know why. ”

Verona stomped on the ground hard, and flames wrapped around Flona's body. The rose mark on Flona's neck becomes more pronounced, with a particularly strong contrast of black and red. Hongying couldn't help but touch the flames on Flona's body, the flames were warm and full of power.

Hongying was attracted by the familiar power again: "Treading Fire Black Rose, Frona, I like the way you look now." ”

Flora turned to Hongying: "Thank you for giving me strength." ”

The pony's eyes turned angry, and she opened her mouth and spewed out a silvery metallic substance from her mouth, which surrounded Flona.

Marshall shouted from the sidelines: "Red Ying! Red Glow! It's dangerous not to stand in front of that! ”

The area affected by the battle became larger and larger, and the other onlookers retreated far away, and Hongying stood in front of the stable, beside Marshall.

"Hongying, although I know you're not afraid of fire, it's too hot here. Do I have to be here? ”

Hongying wiped the sweat from Marshall's face and said, "I think the combat power of these spirit beasts is quite strong. ”

"Why are you so calm, what if they all come to attack us?"

"No, I think they should all use this one-on-one duel."

Hongying looked at Frona and the pony as they began to show fatigue: "It should be over soon." ”

"yes, I can't take it anymore, I feel like I'm going to melt." Marshall gasped and shook his head.

The metal magic of the pony is not very aggressive at all in the fire magic of Flona's heat.

After about twenty minutes, the pony finally fell to the ground due to exhaustion. Flora walked over to the pony: "I won." ”

Although the pony was very unwilling, he still followed the rules: "Okay, you win." ”

Hongying ran over and hugged Flona: "Wow, you're so good!" ”

The pony exhaled and looked at Hongying and Frona: "Hongying, Frona, I lost." But ......"

As soon as she heard the pony's but, Frona became vigilant: "And but? ”

"Listen to me. But I didn't use all my strength, and I'm sure Her Royal Highness didn't use all of her strength either. Now that our Highness the Princess already has such a powerful power, it means that there is no need for this curse to protect you. On the contrary, it is up to Her Royal Highness the Princess to protect us in the future. The pony nodded, "Hongying, you said you could break the formation?" ”

"Yes, but I'd like to hear what Flona thinks."

Frona looked at the summoning spirit horses who were slowly gathering over: "I will let Hongying and Marshall leave here, regarding the curse of the forbidden island, I still decided to listen to everyone's opinions." ”

The pony said, "We were originally spirit beasts that lived in Shandan Mountain, and we still want to go back to where we were. ”

Hongying frowned: "Shandan Mountain has now become a defensive fortress of the Peony Kingdom, I don't think you should be able to go back." ”

The pony walked up to the herd, asked everyone's opinions, and said, "Until we find a safe place for us, we will stay here for the time being, and at the same time hope that you will break this magic circle, and we have decided to defend ourselves by our own strength." ”

Hongying looked at Frona: "Frona, then it's decided." ”

"Okay."

Hongying closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened her eyes and slowly exhaled. Her legs were spread apart, her horse was firmly seated, her hands hanging in front of her, every muscle in her body straining.

The roots of the red glow have firmly grasped the soil under the Rose Ridge, locking the water firmly in the roots. A hole broke in the soil beneath her feet, and a small green seedling emerged from the loess.

She slowly spread her hands to the sides of her body and stood her legs straight. More and more small green seedlings emerged from the soil, covering the entire Rose Ridge.

She threw up her upper body and head, spread her hands outstretched, and shouted, "Shandan flower, bloom—"

In every inch of Rose Ridge, bright red flowers emerge from the ground. They wrapped around the thorns, causing them to shatter in an instant. The red that had broken the thorns was quickly defeated and fell into the soil, where the nutrients slowly seeped into the earth.

Hong Ying gasped hard, Frona walked to Hong Ying's side, and suddenly golden light began to appear on her body, and she wrapped her wings around Hong Ying: "I'll lend you the power." Hongying, are you any better? ”

"Much better." Hongying gritted her teeth and continued to output her power.

At the last moment, the curse was broken. Hongying breathed a sigh of relief, she staggered back two steps, accidentally stepped on something, and fell to the ground.

Frona took two steps back, slapping her head against the back of the red glow.

Marshall ran out and looked at Hongying, his jaw dropped: "Hongying, you, you've become smaller." ”

Hongying looked down at her loose clothes and sighed, "How old should I be now?" ”

"Eleven or two."

Marshall looked at Flona: "Well, can you help me untie it?" ”

Flora looked at Marshall for a long time, then blew and the rope on Marshall's hand was burned.

Marshall ran over and hugged Hongying: "Hongying, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, this time the magic is completely exhausted." Hongying took out the gem that had turned into a moon stone, "It's strange, doesn't it mean that you can only use your power when you have three supreme treasures." ”

The pony looked at Hongying with tears in his eyes: "Hongying, you are really the descendant of Her Royal Highness the Princess, you are the princess of Shandan, the witch of Shandan, and the god of the grassland." ”

"I'll just say I'm a descendant of a princess, why do you believe me now?" Hongying said.

"Of course I won't believe it, but your physique, which changes depending on the size of your magic, makes me fully believe that you are a princess." The pony shook his head and said, "But how is this possible?" The princess died at the hands of the rose king that day, how could you still be? Is the princess still around? ”

Red Ying thinks that her answer will disappoint the pony. Hongying replied, "I am an orphan, and I have never seen my parents. ”

The pony exhaled, "But I'm happy to actually see the princess's offspring." ”

"Now that the magic array has been broken, you must be careful in the future. Marshall and I had to leave. ”

Frona said, "I'll take you away." ”

"We're going to have to go find something we accidentally lost, do you really want to stay with us?" Hongying asked.

"Of course, I should thank you so much that we were truly free."

"No, your freedom is your own choice. I just helped you guys. ”

Frona said, "Ride up." Marshall looked strangely tired. ”

Hongying "giggled" and laughed: "Marshall, can you put me on Frona's back?" ”

Although Marshall was a little reluctant to let go of Hongying, his arm was already very sore: "Okay." ”

Hongying rode Frona up the mountain, and she looked back at Marshall: "Marshall, you wait for us here, and Frona and I will go to find your things." ”

Marshall also felt that he couldn't keep up with them, so he had to nod: "Got it, you guys come back quickly." ”

As Flona ran through the mountains of Rose Ridge, a gust of wind blew, and Red Ying suddenly faintly smelled a smell of being scorched by fire in the air.

"Frona, do you smell a burnt smell?"

Frona shook her head: "Didn't smell it." I don't smell it now. ”

"The smell is gone, just a split second."

"Let's hurry up and find Marshall's stuff." Frona said.

Hongying nodded, looking around the valley, and although there was a smell of the same burnt smell from time to time, the smell quickly disappeared with the wind.

After searching for a whole hour, Hongying finally found a small black box belonging to Marshall in a corner, and she was relieved to hold it.

"Let's go back, it's getting dark." Hongying felt that the mountains were a little dark.

Frona looked up at the slightly reddish sky she had never seen before: "The sky is red? ”

Hongying smelled the burnt smell again, she looked up at the sky, and frowned tightly: "That's not right, Frona, are you still flying now?" ”

"Yes."

Frona flapped her wings three times and flew out of the valley, over the top of the mountain, and saw the scene in the distance.

Hongying clamped Flona's legs and tightened: "Shandan...... Shandan has come in! How so? ”

"Hongying, what's going on?"

"I didn't expect that the first time I let you see the outside world was such a war scene. Frona, let's get back to you soon. ”

"Okay, you're holding on."

Frona returned to everyone at super speed.

Marshall asked, "Did I find my flute?" ”

"Found it, found it, here."

Frona knelt on the ground so that Red Ying could return to the ground safely. Hongying took the flute and handed it to Marshall.

Marshall said, "Hongying, your expression ...... Is there something going on? ”

Hongying frowned and said, "The old Shandan department has entered the Rose Kingdom. ”

Marshall asked, "How can you confirm that it's the old Shandan department?" ”

"I saw the spirit beast, which looked like a huge fish with wings."

The pony said, "That's a spirit-summoning beast, and there's only one bird and fish in the world." ”

"I have to rush back now." Hongying pulled Marshall anxiously.

"Come on. I'll send you back. ”
