Chapter 69: Procrastination
The fake "Alice" did not succeed in dragging Sophia, and Christina, who was hiding behind her, had to take action herself. She intercepts Sophia in an alley.
"You don't have to be involved in this incident at all, and it doesn't make any sense for you to rescue Duris. Christina sneered and said, "Princess Sophia, you really know the true identity of that Duris. β
"Enough is enough, what the hell are you trying to talk nonsense?" Sophia was not polite to her.
"Nonsense? I'm so ignorant that I don't even know what I'm doing. Forget it, let me tell you the truth, Duris is actually a brother of our Truth Society, at least he was. But now he's chosen to betray, and we're just cleaning up the portal, and we have nothing to do with you and your little buddies. β
"Lie! How could Duris join such a vile, filthy organization as your Society of the Truth!"
"Sure enough, I still can't accept it, my lovely princess. You seem to have forgotten that the man was your enemy who killed your father and brother and invaded your country. With that, Christina suddenly raised her hand, and a ball of blue magical energy accumulated in her hand.
When the opponent moved, Sophia immediately became alert, and she grasped the short sword in one hand and carried the cross upside down in the other, assuming a fighting posture.
"Don't be nervous, little sister, I didn't intend to fight you at all. But there's one thing I have to know. Christina raised her hand, and the magic energy ball slowly rose into the air and exploded 5 or 6 meters above the ground.
"What the hell are these?" Sophia took a step back. She could sense that the magic was not dangerous, but her high level of alertness made her subconsciously distance herself.
What appeared in Christina's magic was a magical image of an extremely long parchment scroll, engraved with human names and portraits of human heads.
"What you see now is a genealogy that has been passed down for more than 1,700 years to Duris's mother, and now the original of this genealogy has been handed over to her son, that is, Duris. I'm sure you'll be able to see that there is a common last name on it. β
"Xiu, Shumiro......"
"So, what can you think of? Princess Sophia. Christina put away the magic image.
"You're trying to say that Duris has anything to do with the ancient Shumiro Empire?" asked Sophia cautiously.
"That Duris is the royal descendant of the Shumiro Empire that once existed. It has been nearly 2,000 years since the destruction of the country, and they have been dreaming of recovering their homeland, but the only thing that these weak slaves can rely on is our Truth Society. Without the protection of our Truth Society for thousands of years, they would not have survived until now, and they would not have been able to exist today. β
"Do you think I'm going to believe you like that? ridiculous. β
"Who the hell is ridiculous, you don't believe me, only you know best. But I feel sorry for you. You and Duris are both descendants of a fallen country, and both have a responsibility to recover their homeland, and in a way, the fates of the two of you are very similar. It's a pity......" Finally, Christina sighed.
"What is a pity?" asked Sophia.
"You feel that Duris is a wise ruler and have abandoned your hatred and duty to restore your country, while that hypocritical Duris has taken over your country in order to restore his empire, which has been extinct for nearly two thousand years. Normal people will feel sorry for you. β
"Are you still a normal person? Hmph, I feel a disgusting breath from you. You're not Christina, at least not the Christina I've seen before. Who the hell are you?"
"Who am I? It doesn't matter, what matters is, is it really worth it for you to get involved in this battle? β
β......β
Sophia didn't answer, she didn't let go of her guard, but there was a hint of doubt in her eyes at this point. Christina's words had already shaken Sophia's heart.
The war that took place on Christmas Eve entered a fever pitch.
The reinforcements rushing from the garrison outside the city were blocked by several "head trees" just a step away from the gates of Hansar City, and the battle situation in the city suddenly became confusing as it became clear step by step.
Faced with a siege of more than a dozen times their own enemies, although the palace guards were small in number, but for their duty, they burst out with a powerful combat force far superior to the normal, and after paying heavy casualties and killing countless enemies, they finally escorted the king, queen and princess family back to the palace gate.
Seeing that the palace gate was in front, the troops remaining in the palace did not come out to respond, because at this time, the ground and walls near the palace gate had been stained red with blood. More than a dozen palace gate guards with extraordinary skills have turned into a corpse with broken limbs and gradually cold. In their place, there were six strange teenagers, a total of two women and four men, they were handsome and naΓ―ve, but in their eyes, they exuded a gaze like a beast.
"It's coming. β
Seeing that the real enemy finally appeared in his field of vision, King Duris looked cold, and slowly drew the long sword at his waist, and Queen Catherine, who was beside her, also noticed her husband's movement, she hugged Princess Di Yu tightly, turned on her magic power, and secretly urged the flying sword hidden under the skirt.
Finally, the decisive battle has arrived......
In the alleys.
After a brief moment of hesitation and hesitation for more than a minute, Sophia finally lowered her head. She lowered her cross and dagger in a disarming stance.
"Have you finally figured it out? That Duris is not a person worth saving. Christina sneered triumphantly.
"You're wrong. Hehe!" Sophia suddenly raised her head and chuckled heartily, "I don't care who Duris was, or is, or what kind of background he is, and I don't have any interest in knowing." But if there is anything that makes the truth uncomfortable for you, I will definitely do it. β
Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Of course I know! I'm going to destroy whatever your truth will want to do, and I'm going to save anyone your truth wants to kill! If it were Owen, he would do the same. The last sentence was uttered by Sophia in a low voice.
"Oh?!, it seems that you are very determined to oppose our truth. But at this time, no matter what you do, you can't catch up. β
"But have you ever thought that while you're holding me back, I'm dragging you here? β
Sophia's words made Christina flutter for a moment, and it was only then that she noticed that the ground beneath her feet was faintly turbulent with magical fluctuations.
"Po" - a magic circle suddenly appeared at Christina's feet, she wanted to escape too late, at the same time as the magic circle appeared, the magic of restraint was also generated around, blocking any escape path for Christina.
"The 'Divine Imprisonment' of the master-level order system, such a high-level magic, can be unleashed without me noticing, I really underestimate you. Christina's tone didn't know whether it was appreciation or sarcasm.
"Hey, you don't think I'm really in a daze, do you?" Sophia smiled confidently after the success of the scheme, "I think you know all the magic of light very well, and you know that this magic is not something you can easily escape. β
"Of course. Christina smiled a little weirdly.
Suddenly! Sophia sprang to the side, dodging a sword aura flying from behind. The alertness cultivated by a long and difficult combat career allowed her to detect a sneak attack by the enemy hiding in the shadows in time.
I only heard a "bang", and at the end of the sword qi flight path, the awning in front of the door of a house was completely cut off.
Before Sophia could spot the attacker, Christina's laughter came from her side. The imprisoned woman raised her hand casually, and the "sacred imprisonment" that Sophia had spent a lot of effort arranging was easily cracked by her.
"How so?" said Sophia.
"No matter how high your light magic cultivation is, magic that has not been cast through the full chanting of spells will always be flawed. Kristina gently flicked the dust off her clothes and said slowly, "Just like the 'Divine Imprisonment' you just cast, the caster must stand still in order to exert its full power, and once you move a little before completing the final spell chanting, I can easily break it from within." β
"Since then, I'm going to beat you up completely. Sophia said in a deep voice.
"Very thoughtful little girl, but you should ask him if he agrees first. Christina smiled and raised her head.
Sophia looked in the direction she was pointing, and finally saw that the sneak attacker had appeared.
"Julian, why you!?"
