Chapter 182: Duel
"I'm sorry."
Yunxiao shook his head resolutely, "I might be about to disappoint you." ”
The criminal lord didn't say a word, he silently followed behind Yunxiao, the night was getting later and later, and nothing could be found in the dark forest.
"Is Your Highness looking for food?"
"I'm looking for food, but can you stop calling me Your Highness?"
The Torture Lord walked to Yunxiao's side, and then said in a low voice: "Your Excellency has guarded the Cloud Realm for fifty years, and there are many temporary residences built around here, if Your Highness doesn't dislike it, I can take you there." ”
Yunxiao looked at the Torturer helplessly, he wanted to refuse, but thought that there were Anxia and Arnold.
"Can you live in someone?"
"Of course," the Lord nodded affirmatively, "It was built by His Majesty over many years, and it has plenty of food in it, and it is absolutely safe, so Your Highness can rest assured." ”
"Then you can take me over first."
"No,"
The Torture Lord nodded happily, he knew that Yunxiao couldn't accept his special identity for a while, but he always had a feeling that Yunxiao would inevitably grow into an excellent ruler.
"Right ahead."
The Torturer pointed to a dark forest.
"It's pitch black, what can I see?"
"Understood," the Torturer nodded, his eyebrows furrowed, his hands spread outward, and a little light gathered around Yunxiao.
"What is this?"
Yunxiao looked at everything in front of him in amazement, and countless fireflies lit up the dense forest in front of Yunxiao and the Torture Lord.
"This is a unique skill of the mountain and sea elves, and we can call on the birds and beasts in the mountains."
There was a hint of surprise in Yunxiao's eyes, he looked forward with his head up, a delicate wooden house, appeared in front of Yunxiao's eyes, the criminal lord did not lie to him, after consideration, he decided to bring Anxia and them here.
"Anxia, Arnold!"
"Brother Yun." Arnold turned to look, and Yunxiao and the Torture Lord, wrapped in fireflies, appeared not far away.
"What is this? It's so beautiful. ”
"These are fireflies in the mountains, Your Highness doesn't like the night, so I called them."
An Xia glanced at the Torturer suspiciously, and then asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"The Torturer has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Princess?" Anxia and Yunxiao both looked at the Torturer in some surprise.
"Isn't this Anxia girl the princess of Her Royal Highness?"
Yunxiao nodded hesitantly, and An Xia looked at him with some anger.
"What are you nodding, when did I promise to marry you?"
"I,"
The Torturer looked at the sky, and suddenly lowered his head and smiled.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, rest assured, our Royal Highness the King, will definitely be good to you."
Arnold smiled and touched Anxia, and the Torturer glanced back at her.
"Is this also Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Yunxiao immediately glared at the Torture Lord.
"My name is Arnold, and I am the younger sister of Brother Yunxiao."
"It turned out to be Princess Arnold, and the criminal lord was rude."
As he spoke, the Torturer immediately bowed deeply to Arnold.
"I've become a princess, Brother Yun, otherwise you should go back to the country of clouds and be your king."
Yunxiao patted Arnold's head helplessly, then looked at the criminal lord and said, "Okay, take the two noble ladies to your refuge and have a look, I'm already hungry." ”
"Your Majesty, I'll take Your Highness over."
Yunxiao followed the Torturer, and they soon came to the Torturer's wooden house.
"Your house is quite exquisite, although it is a small cabin, it looks very cozy."
"Princess Arnold has won the prize, and the criminal lord is bored on weekdays, so he has built some residences near the country of clouds."
"Cunning rabbit three holes, tell me, did you build so many houses to deceive more girls?"
"Her Royal Highness smiled," the Lord touched his head with some embarrassment.
"I built these dwellings to avoid being tracked down by foreigners."
"Tracking?" An Xia looked at the Torture Lord with some puzzlement, "Aren't the mountain and sea elves the strongest tribe in the ancient world?" Who else is going to be after you? ”
"Many years ago, we were indeed the strongest clan in the Barbarian Ancients, but since the White Valkyrie disappeared, our Burning Hua army has also disappeared."
"Valkyrie?" Yunxiao looked at the Torturer in some surprise.
"The White Martial God is the Ancestor of the White Jade Toad."
"Why is it a martial god, isn't he a king?"
The Torturer shook his head.
"A thousand years ago, our tribe came here, at that time there was chaos everywhere, and no strong tribe could unify them, so our king wanted to train a strong army, but the mountain and sea elves are different from ordinary beasts, their potential is infinitely large, and infinitely small. Until the White Valkyrie found us, he helped the king establish the army of Zhuohua, and later in a great battle with the Celestial Spirit Clan, the king was unfortunately killed. He wanted to pass on the position of the king to the White Valkyrie, but the Valkyrie refused his request, and he promised the king that he would give the Thunder Book to the next young man who could really become a king. ”
"But I'm not the most favorite successor of the White Martial God, he is trapped in the back of the sky, there is no chance to choose, I am just responsible for returning the Thunder Book to you."
"No," the Torture Lord shook his head, "the White Valkyrie has passed on all of his cultivation to you, you have the ability to summon the Scorching Glory Army, and as long as you want, we can accomplish the great work that the White Valkyrie didn't accomplish back then." ”
"What kind of great cause?"
"Dominate the barbarian ancients, and even dominate the wilderness."
Yunxiao looked up at the Torturer, who looked at it for a long time, then shook his head.
"I came to the ancient world, just to find the altar and resurrect the thunderfall."
"Your Highness,"
The Torturer wanted to speak and stopped, he knew that Yunxiao couldn't accept all this yet.
"By the way, is this still far from the Barbarian Ancient Altar?"
The Torture Lord's eyebrows tightened, "The altar you are talking about should be on the east side of the Cloud Country. ”
"Yes, it's to the east."
Anxia nodded, "But we seem to be lost, and we can't find the direction to the east." ”
"It's our forbidden place, I've never been there, I don't know if it's the altar you call it."
"Can you take us there?"
Arnold asked, looking at the Criminal.
"It's very dangerous inside, and the Criminals don't dare to take His Highness over to adventure."
Seeing the reluctance on the face of the criminal lord, An Xia suddenly said: "As long as you can take us over, when you find the altar and finish our business, I will agree to let Yunxiao be your king." ”
"Is Her Royal Highness the princess serious?"
The Torture Lord asked excitedly.
"Of course, do I have to lie to you?"
"Your Highness?" The Torturer looked back at the sky.
"If you can really find the altar, is there or not."
"Okay, I'll take you there now."
The Torturer stood up, looking a little at a loss.
"What are you anxious about, it's a big night, wait until tomorrow."
"Yes, yes," the Lord patted his head, "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will take His Highness to find the altar." ”
Xingjue was excited and didn't sleep all night, Arnold and An Xia quickly fell asleep, and only Yunxiao was silently cultivating on the side. After obtaining all of Bai Yuchan's skills, Yunxiao quickly broke through his bottleneck, and he could feel the huge power in his body, which was soaking into his veins little by little.
"Aren't you sleeping yet?"
Yunxiao looked at the criminal lord at the door and asked.
"Your Highness, rest in peace, there is a criminal lord, and no one will be able to hurt Your Highness."
"Can you tell me why you have to make me king?"
"I believe that Valkyrie, the person he chosen, will not be wrong."
"Have you ever seen the Valkyrie?"
The Torturer nodded slightly.
"A long time ago, when I was very young, the mountain and sea elves clan, some were cultivation geniuses, and some were cultivation wastes."
"Which one are you?"
"Before he met the White Martial God, he was the latter, and now, it can be regarded as the former."
"How do you say, Bai Wushen, you can be regarded as your master?"
The Torturer shook his head expressionlessly.
"With my talents, how can I be worthy of being a disciple of the White Valkyrie, he didn't teach me anything, he only said one word to me."
"What?"
Yunxiao looked at the criminal lord curiously.
"The White Martial God said that there has never been a person who can't practice, only someone who doesn't want to practice."
"That's it?"
Yunxiao's eyes were full of incredulity.
"The White Valkyrie brought me back to Zhuohua, and for the first time I saw that invincible army, each of them was so strong that they could even easily obliterate me."
"And then, did you join that army?"
The Torturer shook his head again.
"I wasn't talented enough to pass Zhuohua's selection, but the White Valkyrie didn't give up on me, he made me a guardian until he went to Tianji Mountain for an appointment, he found me. He told me that if he didn't come back alive, he would use the Book of Thunder to seal the Kingdom of Clouds in the clouds, and that the next person who could summon the army of Scorching Flowers would return here with the Book of Thunder after countless years. ”
"That's why you're so insistent on me being your king?"
The Torture Lord nodded slightly, then looked into the distance and asked, "White Martial God, he must be watching me somewhere now, and I must not let him down." ”
Yunxiao was inexplicably moved, he let out a long sigh, and then sensed the powerful energy in his body.
"Valkyrie, what kind of person is you?" Anxia suddenly woke up, and she also heard the story of the Torture Lord.
"Yunxiao, tell me honestly, what you saw in the cave of Tianji Mountain is really the White Martial God that the criminal lord said?"
Yunxiao looked back at Anxia, he couldn't lie to her.
"Of course, what I saw was the White Martial God, otherwise where did the Thunder Book come from?"
An Xia nodded incredulously.
"It's just that Valkyrie is such a powerful character, why is he trapped in Tianji Mountain?"
"I'm going to ask your old friend."
"My old friend?" An Xia looked at Yunxiao with some confusion.
"Is it a monk?"
An Xia asked in a low voice.
"Who else but him, this bastard guy, he can make the White Jade Toad Ancestor miserable."
The Torturer suddenly got up and looked back at the sky.
"Do you know that enemy?"
Yunxiao shook his head suspiciously.
"Dustless, it's not an enemy."
"He killed the White Valkyrie, and he is the enemy of my criminal lord."
"Do you know why he killed Valkyrie?"
Yunxiao looked at the criminal lord expressionlessly.
"The Torturer doesn't know, but he shouldn't have killed the Valkyrie."
"You're wrong," Yunxiao got up and walked to the side of the Torture Lord, "In this world, it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, the White Martial God saved you, and you think that he is the most righteous person in the world, but have you ever thought that before the White Martial God came to the Wasteland, he slaughtered the entire sect of the Impossible Mage." Nearly 1,000 people were innocently slaughtered. The White Warrior God died in Tianji Mountain, but he was not killed by the Dustless Mage, he died to atone for his previous sins. There is not so much hatred in this world, but there are more people who can't let go, and there is more hatred. ”
The Torture Lord nodded with relief, although he still hated the monk, but there was not much hatred in his heart.
"What about you, when will the hatred in your heart dissolve?"
Anxia looked back at the sky.
"Me, the hatred in my heart?" Yunxiao lowered his head and thought for a while, "When I save your brother, I will kill him again, and my hatred will be resolved." ”
The Torturer looked at the clouds with a questioning face.
"Why save him when he's dead? Why kill him if you want to save him? ”
Yunxiao glanced down at the Torture Jue, and then looked sideways at An Xia.
"In this world, the most difficult thing to distinguish is right and wrong!"
The night grew darker and darker, and the fireflies summoned by the Torture Lord flew away. An Xia fell asleep quietly, Yunxiao also lay down in a daze, and the criminal lord was guarding the door in a complicated mood, thinking about the question of right and wrong all night.
