Chapter 66: The Hanging Man



The indifference and vague vigilance in Julian's eyes gradually disappeared. He allowed Ipeya's hands to wrap around the back of his neck and wrap around him, and although the hard armor cut off the feeling of the weak body pressing on his body, the soul-eating body fragrance had already taken over Julian's nerves.

It was the second time the young man and woman had made a four-lip touch after that night of swords and blood at the Fernandez estate.

Kissing is the most direct way to connect two independent people together. Even though the indifference of the man at this time is somewhat unreasonable, the woman uses her tenderness and scorching heat, even the iceberg will be melted.

I could only hear two "clangs" on the ground, representing Julian's two weapons of hostility and defense: the magic sword "Tears of Repentance" and the holy sword "Eternal Victory", which fell to the ground one after another.

After putting down the weapon, the stiff hands, unconsciously raised, hugged Ipeiya's delicate body, starting from the hips, moving up little by little, to the small waist, and then to the back where the contours of the back shoulder blades could be clearly felt...... Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Julian had hugged this delicate and wonderful person tightly into his arms.

"What are you doing, Julian, don't be controlled by her!" General Menavino, who was behind, saw Julian losing himself step by step, and in a hurry, he grabbed the chain of a meteor hammer that was broken into several pieces on the ground, dragged the seriously injured body, and limped towards Julian and Ipea, who were kissing fiercely.

However, General Menavino was unable to move a distance of 2 meters, and a pillar of wind had knocked him farther away.

"I will never allow anyone to interfere with Her Royal Highness!" Nanokai glared at the general in the air, giving the stern warning.

Julian...... Wake up......" Despite the severe pain of breaking two ribs, the general still stubbornly tried to stand up.

But his call could not reach Julian's ears at all. Even if there was no barrier from that wall of air, I am afraid that Julian would no longer be able to hear any outside voices.

Julian, who was kissed by a beautiful woman, gradually lost the luster in his eyes, and was replaced by a walking corpse-like whiteness......

Julian wasn't the only one whose eyes were losing their original color. It seemed only a matter of time before the golden dragons, who were under the control of the city's magic array, completely lost themselves and became the slaves of another powerful dragon clan.

But it is precisely because of time that this seemingly readily available result is full of unknown variables.

When more than 80% of the golden dragons' double pupils were occupied by purple, the fairy dragon sitting in the center of the city's magic array had already felt a powerful challenge from the west, and before the golden dragon consciousness controlled by her was completely replaced, she ordered six of the golden dragons to rise into the air to meet the enemy.

When the six-headed dragon soared into the air, the powerful air currents generated by the flapping of the wings of the twelve giant sides once again swept through the streets of the city that had suffered so much, and the embers of the remnants of the fire mixed with broken bricks and tiles erupted in a radial shape, and the few houses that had not collapsed but were already crumbling were also reduced to powder under this powerful impact.

The old warehouse, located four or five blocks east of the palace, was also within the influence of this powerful vortex.

Although illusion enchantments can prevent detection and invasion by outsiders, they cannot completely insulate physical shocks. The whirlpool of air from the dragon's wings pierced through the illusion barrier and slammed into the masonry façade of the old warehouse.

I don't know if it was because the old warehouse was built strong enough, or because it was far away from the source of the air vortex, the warehouse did not collapse, but after a violent shaking, several obvious cracks appeared in the outer wall, and a beam on the top was planted with a "boom", but other than that, the old warehouse was not structurally damaged.

However, it was this tremor that made all those who were still standing unsteady, and although it was not that the vibration from the ground would not cause people to fall, a small displacement could not be avoided, and the man and woman in the kiss were no exception.

Ipeia lay on Julian's chest, and in this sudden turn of events, their lips parted. Julian, who was holding the warm nephrite in his arms, his eyes were still dazed and confused.

Just as Ipeia raised her head and wanted to kiss him again, Julian suddenly tilted her head! This move stunned Ipeia, and she looked into Julian's eyes, and saw that the dull luster had reappeared. Only then did Ipeia feel that the man's embrace was no longer as strong as it had been before, because the hands he had wrapped around her had moved away.

Julian stretched out his free left hand, holding an inconspicuous object in his hand.

It was the vibration and shaking that made this tarot card float out of Julian's armor, and then when it slowly fell in the air, Julian himself saw it and reached out to grab it.

......

Not long ago, Julian and Owen worked together to save a little girl at the gates of the city.

"Julian, go first to the Empress's location and stop her. I went to get the kid to safety and went looking for Ray. ”

"Good. So how do we converge?"

Owen took out a set of tarot cards from his bosom and handed it to Julian: "Draw one." ”

Julian didn't hesitate. Two seconds later, he flipped over the tarot cards he drew and looked: the reverse "upside-down hanged man".

"Owen, as long as I have this card, you'll find my place, right?"

"Not necessarily. Owen shook his head, "Maybe it's for you to find me, or maybe this card isn't meant to bring us together at all, anyway, any possibility." ”

"I don't understand. ”

"Time doesn't allow me to figure out the meaning of the card step by step, anyway, you put this card away first, it will definitely help you. ”

......

The reversed "upside-down hanging man" represents the escape from love and fruitless romance, and also represents the lost self, emotionally without the idea of paying for the other party, and the other party's attitude remains the same, even if the other party pays more, it will only make people want to escape more.

"Do you repeat the same trick?"

In Ipeya's ears, only Julian's shrill muttering could be heard.

"What?" I don't know if it was because I couldn't hear clearly, or because I was surprised that Julian suddenly spoke, Ipeia asked in a disgraceful manner.

"You're doing the same trick on me again, aren't you?"

Julian suddenly roared angrily, and at once overthrew the beauty in his arms to the ground.

This change came too suddenly, and the other people present, the three Fernandez sisters and Prince Harun, all showed surprised expressions, but General Menavino smiled: "Julian, you are finally awake." Ahem......"

Because of the broken ribs, the severe pain made it impossible for the general to continue the rest of the words, but still made people clearly feel the general's laughter. "There is no end to the road" - it seems that this sentence is not just self-consolation.

"Why, why did this to me?" Ipeya, who was pushed to the ground, looked at Julian with an expression of grievance and resentment, and the appearance of the rain pear blossom made any man pity when he saw it.

But there are always exceptions. Julian showed no mercy, he flipped his left hand and showed the tarot card in his hand: "I am so stupid that I would plant the same trick twice." But your charm is useless to me, but I'm glad to have Owen's help!"

"It's that Owen again!" At this time, Empress Ipeia's gaze had changed from resentment to resentment.

Resentment or gratitude. It didn't matter what other people felt about Owen at this point.

Because Owen is already unable to protect himself.

Breaking into a forbidden area that shouldn't have been forced, Owen's physical mobility was stripped the moment he broke the ban.

Owen, who couldn't move, watched as the black dragon's giant claws slapped down on top of his head, and he had no ability to resist or escape at all.

Dying at the claws of the black dragon would be a fate he could not escape......
