"How could it be her?!"

The sudden incurrence of the winged elves caught Queen Ipeia and Prince Harun off guard, who were almost sure of victory.

"Give it back to me!"

Prince Harlan was so enraged that he didn't have time to pull off his bowstring, reached for the quiver, grabbed a few arrows, and threw them at Luna!

The winged elves were the best at escaping, and the two pairs of transparent dragonfly wings flapped at a very high frequency, and Luna made several sharp turns in succession, easily escaping the few sharp arrows that had bitten up from behind.

But the arrow is always a dead thing, and after flying out, it will only fly according to the route and speed set by the launcher, and the person who can be flexible is different. Several walls of sand were quickly summoned to seal the way for the winged elves to escape the temple, confined the escape-savvy creature to a confined space, when Julian, who had been seduced and deprived of his senses, received orders from his "master" Ipeya to pursue Luna with the utmost dexterity, and the two swords in his hands slashed mercilessly, forcing the weak creature to split in half.

Suddenly, Julian, who was moving at high speed, stopped, and then heard a "bang", and Julian fell heavily into the rubble. If it weren't for the knight's armor, I am afraid that this fall would have broken a few ribs.

"Stop dreaming. I'm not going to let you touch Luna. ”

What surprised Ipeya and Prince Harun even more was that Owen, who had already lost his vital characteristics and had become a cold corpse, suddenly jumped up unharmed, grabbed the unsuspecting Julian's feet, and threw the knight who was seduced and controlled to the ground.

In fact, it is not correct to say that Owen is "unharmed", the sword stab wound in the heart of his chest is still bleeding, and Owen can only use his left hand to sneak up on Julian, because his right hand is holding a ball of cloth at this time, covering the wound on his chest.

"Hmph! chaser games aren't fun at all, this is for you!" Luna flew up to Owen and handed Owen the black hedron.

"Thank you. Owen took the hedron.

Luna crossed her waist, puffed up, and shouted, "Remember you owe me 800 loaves of bread and 1,000 cakes!"

Then she flew around Owen and finally flew to the top of a stone pillar, assuming a look of not caring for herself, hanging high.

"You...... Aren't you dead?......" Prince Harun suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his scalp.

"Dark magic, necromantic manipulation?" Ipeia thought of another possibility from the mage's corner.

"You're thinking too much. I'm a living person, and I don't know any necromantic magic. Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to do it to myself. Owen smiled calmly, "I'm sorry to disappoint you again." ”

"It can't be. The concubine has obviously examined your body. Your heartbeat and pulse have stopped, and your body temperature is cooling dramatically, how can it be ...... Ah, the concubine understands!" Ipeia thought of something suddenly, "Is this the rumored state of 'suspended animation'?"

"In the Far East, medicine believed that there was a miraculous part slightly above the human heart, and when it was hit by a sharp weapon or attacked by a powerful external force, it would suspend all the functions of the human body and enter a state of 'suspended animation'. Owen answered in a relaxed tone about what had happened to him.

......

A few days ago, the Antigorins Sea.

It was time to set up camp again every night, and lots were drawn to arrange for the sentry to be on duty, and Owen and Julian were drawn to the same group.

"Julian, you know, it's a great thing to be able to fight alongside you. ”

Next to the campfire, two childhood friends chatted while monitoring the neighborhood of the camp.

"yes. It made me feel like I was back in my childhood, when I was leaning behind each other's backs during tactical practice. ”

"I didn't expect it to be that long. I was just thinking that it would be great that you weren't my enemy at this point. Your swordsmanship is so powerful that I can't be sure that I can completely parry it if I fight hard. ”

Owen's words made Julian look very displeased. This clearly means that in last year's "Tower of Seven Sins" incident, Owen and Julian were the offensive and defensive sides of the final showdown, respectively, and they became each other's enemies as a last resort. At that time, Owen had nearly lost his life to Julian's sword. Julian has always been haunted by that incident, although he can't help himself, but he also silently swore later that he would never let this kind of fratricidal thing happen again. Now that Owen suddenly brought up the matter again, Julian's displeasure can be imagined.

"Owen, can you please stop mentioning ......?"

However, before the words "that incident" could be spoken, Owen interrupted him: "However, even if you can't stop your swordsmanship, you may not be able to kill me at that time." ”

"That's right. You also have great skills. Julian replied with some reluctance.

"Actually, it's not a skill. It's just that my body structure is a little different from others. ”

"Body structure?"

"Yes. My heart grows a little bit higher than the average person. With that, Owen pulled off his shirt and pointed to the muscles in his chest and heart that were slightly above his heart, "Look, my heart grows here." So at that time, in the Tower of Seven Sins, if you really wanted my life, my sword might not really be able to pierce me in the heart. ”

"What's the use of you telling me this now, I'm a good friend who will never stab me with a sword again. When hell freezes over. Julian spoke in an almost sworn tone, but also expressed his displeasure at Owen's revisit.

"Yes, you won't. Owen smiled.

......

"Miss, you should know that people who are controlled by enchanting magic, although their minds are manipulated, their memories still exist. If you want Julian to kill me, you will do so when I can't take precautions, but how he kills me will only be judged by what he knows in his own memory. ”

"So you lied to Julian in small talk, saying that your heart was wrong. In fact, you are deliberately misleading Julian. "You seem to have known that Julian would kill you with a sword. So you in turn use Julian to make your own fake death. ”

"I still don't quite understand what the so-called 'suspended animation' is, but you managed to trick us into suddenly disrupting our mission when our vigilance was most relaxed. In retrospect, that winged elf suddenly turned on you and left, and it was also arranged by you in advance. Prince Harlan realized that he might have fallen into Owen's trap, and his tone couldn't help but be a little admiring, "Amazing." Even though I always felt that I couldn't underestimate you, I ended up underestimating you. ”

"It's just a coincidence. The night before departure, in the villa, I happened to see that the two of them seemed to have some unspeakable secret conversation, and I usually have a bad habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations......"

"What?" Prince Harun and Ipeia looked at each other.

They realized that their plans had been mastered from the start. Prince Harunn's face was covered with black lines, while Ipeya closed her eyes and was silent. They did a lot of calculations, but they didn't expect such a mistake.

"If you don't have the heart to hurt me, how can these little tricks of mine work?" Owen sneered at the embarrassment of the two.

"What if you calculated all these things perfectly? Now you haven't put yourself in a difficult situation. Prince Harlan drew his bow and aimed it at Owen, "Put that thing down, and I'll consider sparing your life." ”

"Hah, spare my life? Do you think I'm going to believe the truth? Owen couldn't help but laugh.

"That's good, I'll take it from your corpse. Do you think this bleeding body can withstand the two of us?"

"No, it's three people. Ipeia corrected.

Only a muffled clash of armor was heard, and Julian, who had fallen in the rubble, got back to his feet. He raised his twin swords and took an offensive posture in front of his friend who had sworn to never be an enemy
