Chapter 85: The Prologue to the Turmoil (18)
After three days and three nights, Louis and his party finally arrived at the palace of the Thunder Alliance Empire.
The fine white jade paved ground shone with a warm light, and there seemed to be a curling mist shrouding the unreal palace in the distance.
The phoenix spreads its wings on the sandalwood carved cornices, the floating windows carved from green tiles, the jade wall panels, and a huge square at the end of a straight road slowly sinks with the jade steps. A straight pillar carved with a lifelike dragon pattern on the huge altar in the center is far away from the phoenix on the palace......
Looking at such an extremely luxurious palace, Louis subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of spit, and longed for the supreme royal power more and more.
He was taken straight by his attendants into the king's resting chamber, while Shahrhan's cousin retreated.
On the corridor, many noble sons and beautiful women stared at him intently, and even covered their mouths and snickered, as if they were watching the farce of the hillbilly entering the city.
In the dormitory, the cloud top sandalwood is used as a beam, the crystal jade is the lamp, the pearl is the curtain, and the fan gold is the pillar base. The six-foot-wide agarwood bed is hung next to the shark silk treasure tent, and the tent is embroidered with pearls and silver thread begonia flowers, and the wind is moving, like falling clouds and mountains and phantom seas.
With every step, Louis seemed submissive, for fear that an inadvertent action would violate the dignity of the royal family.
An elderly man with wood-rimmed glasses was sitting on a wooden chair correcting the recital, "Hope, is this the Diao Min who blasphemed the royal family?" ”
The waiter replied: "Lord Mino, this is the eldest prince who has just returned to China, His Royal Highness Louis!" ”
"Oh-" Old Man Minnot replied with a long sigh of understanding, "then you must treat him well." ”
With that, Mino lowered his head again and continued to deal with his official documents, not knowing how to respect Louis as the eldest prince at all, let alone saluting him.
Louis knew that Mino was an auxiliary minister, and that he had been helping to run government affairs during the king's serious illness. However, this old guy is purely relying on the old and selling the old, relying on his high power, and he doesn't seem to take anyone seriously, and he is really a diehard.
Louis secretly decided that he must find a way to fire this old guy when he turns around.
I didn't expect that as the eldest prince of the Thunder Alliance Empire, there was such a huge disparity in status and treatment, far less than a squire with face.
The six-foot-wide agarwood bed is hung next to the shark silk treasure tent, and the tent is embroidered with pearls and silver thread begonia flowers, and the wind is moving, like falling clouds and mountains and phantom seas. The couch is set up with a green jade incense pillow, covered with soft silkworm ice sticks, and stacked with jade belts. There is a huge bright moon pearl hanging on the top of the treasure in the hall, shining brightly.
On the couch lay an old man, King Crowley, Louis's father.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness Louis has come down!" Hoppe, the squire, stepped forward to awaken the sleeping King Crowley.
Louis looked at his father's sick state, and estimated that he had already stepped into the gate of hell on half a leg.
"Louie, ahem......" Crowley reluctantly sat up, supported by the waiter Hope.
Next is a touching and tearful family drama, Louis is very devoted, and Crowley also feels a little ashamed of Louie.
"Do you remember this room? When you were a child, you used to come here to bother your father...... "Crowley lamented.
Hope flicked his fingers, and the lights in the room went out instantly, except for Crowley's snoring.
Louis saw the whole process in his eyes, and really hoped that one day he would be able to master magic proficiently, and he would be able to solve some things with the flick of his fingers.
The queen mother in memory is a weak and virtuous woman, because Louis was imprisoned in the nuclear tribe, the queen mother washed her face with tears all day long, kneeling on the ground and looking forward to the return of the prince.
In the end, the queen mother cried blindly, and all she could do was the endless night.
When he came to his mother's bedroom, Louis felt that he should do his son's duty and honor this hard-working woman, after all, she was also a great mother.
The black bear still had wild boar meat in its mouth that had not yet been eaten, and Louis suppressed the feeling of nausea and prepared to wait for the opportunity.
"Quicksand!"
Tomafa manipulated the sand on the ground, gradually forming a zone of quicksand. Second-order magic quicksand restrained the black bear's limbs and sealed its movements.
It seems that Tomafar's move made the black bear angry.
The first thing that catches your eye is a pair of red eyes. Not only the whites of the eyes, but also the pupils are red, and the feeling is quite abnormal. At the same time, it also unleashes a terrifying magical power that is almost suffocating.
"Hehe, I'll let you fall to the ground in the next second!" Tomafa pulled out his delicate dagger and ran at the black bear.
Previously, Tomafa had said that the dagger was from the hand of the craftsman Freud, and it was also inlaid with the essence of the monster to enhance the lethality, etc., Louis really wanted to see the power of the dagger.
Tomafa grabbed the dagger and stabbed it into the black bear's right eye, and the intense pain caused the black bear to roar angrily, and for a moment he broke free from the shackles of quicksand magic and threw Tomafa flying on a stone.
"Your Highness......"
Tomafa stumbled on the stone and passed out.
This is a monster, far more powerful than those silver wolves......
The knight and mercenary suppressed the fear that welled up in their hearts and prepared to draw the sword hanging from their waists.
It was at this time......
The black bear let out a hostile roar.
The knights and mercenaries tore the black bear apart before it could get close.
After killing everyone, Louie was undoubtedly the next target of the black bear.
Louis was almost timid for a moment, but he immediately regained his morale, and with one hand he sucked in a knight's heavy sword, and at the same time infused magic power into the sword, reducing the weight of the sword itself, and rushed it on the spot.
The black bear swung his right arm at the oncoming Louie, and the claws that tore through the hard armor were filled with the breath of death.
Seeing that he was about to be hit by a claw, Louis immediately twisted his body, imagined the acceleration magic, and dodged sideways.
The bear's paw struck where Louis had been a moment ago, and the ground shattered with a shocking thud.
The ground was punched out of a crater, and it looked like a small crater.
That scene made Louie sweat coldly, and he didn't make his sword play with a knife, he was a little underestimated, this was fighting with his life.
Using telekinesis again, he used his acceleration magic to circle the bear's back and leap towards its head.
No matter how huge and violent the monster is, once the head is separated, it must not be able to live!
Just as Louis was about to swing his heavy sword, the bear turned and swung his left arm.
Louis hurriedly flew over the bear's head and landed in front of it.
"It's disgusting, I actually used my body to strengthen magic, and my movements are unbelievably flexible."
Louis couldn't help but sigh and be surprised, this black bear's IQ was close to the standard of a human, and his magic power was quite thick, and he was really a difficult guy.
What now?
Anyway, those two bear arms are very much in the way.
Louis had just thought about this, but he didn't expect the black bear to act, and it waved his right arm at Louie again.
However, the black bear is still a black bear in the end, and the attack mode is very monotonous.
Louis thought to himself, this time instead of dodging to the side, he jumped into the bear's arms, and then swung his heavy sword and slashed at the base of the black bear's right arm.
A sword slashed down, and the black bear's right arm slammed off its body, and blood splattered.
The black bear let out a roar of pain, then waved its left arm again.
Louis dodged the left arm and cut it off from the root, then circled the black bear's back again, and leaped up with its head.
"Then there's nothing in the way!" Louis smirked.
The next moment, he shouted and slashed at the black bear's neck, and the black bear was detached on the spot.
"Whew...... Nailed it. It wasn't that difficult to use a sword, but since I liberated my power, my learning ability has improved by leaps and bounds, and it seems that everything has become easier. ”
The bear fell to the ground with a thud.
At some point, Louis fought with the black bear so vigorously that he had come to the cliff, and below was a rushing river, bottomless. If the black bear hadn't been dealt with just now, I'm afraid they would have fallen off the cliff together.
"Whoosh!"
A swift arrow came at Louis in the back.
The sudden change made Louis a little confused.
What the hell is going on?
Where did the cold arrow come from?
Louis turned his head to look at the arrow behind him, it turned out that the arrow was endowed with acceleration and penetration magic, no wonder he just focused on the black bear in front of him but did not guard against this cold arrow.
The pain and the incessant bleeding made Louis curse in his heart: "I won't die like this, right?" ”
"It seems that your life is very hard, originally I thought that this operation would be boring and boring, but it seems that this is not the case." A woman's voice came from the jungle.
Louis frowned, although he didn't see the man's figure, it was not difficult to hear from that sentence alone that the other party had come to assassinate him.
"Die!"
A delicate but urgent voice reached Louis's ears.
Louis subconsciously looked up and saw that the petite and delicate figure was rushing towards him.
I saw the other party pull out an object from the bracer of his left hand, and then the terrible sound of wind cutting sounded in Louie's ears.
Not!
Louie's figure flashed, and he awkwardly avoided the other party's surprise attack. A large black serpent slashed at high speed from Louie's previous position.
However, upon closer inspection, the pitch-black serpent turned out to be a long whip.
A true master wielding a long whip can be said to be unpredictable, and even a soldier with a sword and gun is not necessarily an opponent.
Louis hurriedly rolled on the ground, trying to distance himself from the other party.
Although the other party is wearing a veil, judging from the exposed eyes and the previous voice, she should still be a girl in the prime of her life, and her figure seems to be very good.
Her long, shiny black hair is fastened at the back of her head. Although the girl's body is petite, her eyes are full of murderous aura when the corners of her eyes are slightly hanged.
Louie got up from the ground, the pain in his back prevented him from urging the magic power, and for a moment, Louie didn't know how to deal with the female killer.
"Tragedy...... How could I be so unlucky! ”
There is a female killer in front of her, and there is a cliff behind her, and she is really desperate.
The endless blue sky was so dazzling that Louis couldn't help but squint.
The bare rocks came into view, and Louis swallowed his saliva, secretly screaming in his heart that something was wrong.
"Obediently accept your fate!" The female killer put away the long whip and replaced it with an Emei stinger. Although it may seem strange, it is a two-way, open-edged weapon, but it is quite convenient compared to assassination.
With his back to the cliff, Louis confronts the female killer.
"Where did I offend you?"
"Meeting me is your greatest misfortune."
The female killer's tone was flat, without any inhibitions, and sounded without a trace of emotion.
"How can there be such a thing!" Louie asked.
"It's to blame that you were born in the wrong place, and you were born in the wrong place. Find an ordinary family in the next life, and don't come to the emperor's house again. ”
With that, the female killer kicked her feet and slowly forced Louis to the cliff behind her.
Louis was anxious and his brain couldn't function at all, and he used a few strokes of wind blade magic indiscriminately, but the female killer easily bounced off with the Emei thorn in her hand.
"You really know magic, if you don't get rid of you, it will definitely be a hidden danger in the future."
But the female killer's movements were so fast that he could only retreat step by step.
Take a few more steps back, and you'll fall off a cliff.
"Don't do any more useless struggles, my weapon comes with a magical beast essence that can absorb foreign magic, you better save your effort."
Louis didn't have time to think about it, and subconsciously clasped his hands, and a wave of magic burst out, throwing the female killer's body upward.
The female killer fell unharmed and fell on a solid rock floor and was saved.
But Louis didn't have time to get out of danger, and fell with the rubble of the rock.
"Whoaa
The wind was so strong that it almost tore Louie's skin.
Louis's heart was filled with the fear of falling into the bottomless abyss and the trampling of ten thousand grass and mud horses.
Just now, it was purely subconscious protection, but he didn't think about it, but he saved the life of the female killer, but Louie himself was tragic.
Louie's consciousness gradually blurred, and then he fell into the river with a "poof".
The female killer stood on the edge of the cliff in a daze, looking dazed.
She slowly stretched out her slender jade hand, revealing a snow-white and delicate wrist, took off the black gold silk veil, and revealed a young and beautiful face, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Her cold and indifferent temperament is like the first bloom of a clear lotus, but she has begun to have an unearthly temperament at a young age. It's really hard to imagine how the girl will be in the future if she grows up......
"Why save me?" The female killer looked at the bottom of the cliff in bewilderment.
Suddenly, more than a dozen masked black-clad men burst out of the jungle.
"Captain, everything is taken care of." The man in black behind him replied respectfully.
Once again, the female killer picked up the black gold veil and covered the beautiful cheeks.
At this moment, her heart was unusually complicated and entangled, and she could only deceive herself that everything that happened before was just a dream.
"Let's go, I believe that it won't be long before the Empire will send a search and rescue team. Clean all traces here, and leave no hidden dangers. ”
The men in black then vanished.
