Chapter 628 Broken Talisman
"Don't make a sound, let's go inside."
Xia said to Bellerier in a voice transmission.
The little princess blinked, as if able to hear her.
Although she was a little willful on the road, she was actually very close to this silver-haired girl in her heart.
"Fei Nanxi, what the hell is it outside, you have to hide so carefully."
She found a weathered skull with no odor and hid behind it with Belleriel.
The word "big trouble" must have been a serious situation when it came out of the lich's mouth, because she had the impression that Fernanxi had not been afraid of any enemies since returning from the abyss of hell.
"Inanimate things."
The lich said a somewhat confusing word:
"Rock golems, magic colosses, or dead bones...... It's such a thing out there, and it's stronger than I ever imagined. β
"You mean, there's a powerful summoner nearby?"
Xia asked in his mind as he looked at the entrance of the cave with bated breath.
"Summoner?"
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the lich's boneless face seems to be laughing:
"That's true, but if I'm not mistaken...... I'm afraid that the strength of this summoner is a hundred times stronger than that thing outside. β
After saying this, the entrance of the cave resounded with an earthquake-like tremor again.
A warm ray of sunlight shone through the gap, and in the dust, a staggeringly large object could be seen moving away from there, revealing a mess of ground outside the cave.
It was as if a huge radish had been pulled out of the ground, and what had been a vast field turned into a deep pit, and the earth around it continued to fall into it, and a large amount of rubble slid down into the dark abyss below, where even sunlight could not shine.
"Those two little ones of yours don't seem to have brought in...... Don't move here for now. β
The lich's body twisted and disappeared into the shadows.
Then Natsu saw a gray shadow slowly drift towards the entrance of the cave, and a small white eyeball floated out of the shadow. Staggered outside.
This is the Dark Mage's Eye that the Lich uses to detect, but unlike the Wizard's Eye, this magical eye is more adept at concealing itself, while the Wizard's Eye is often used to detect invisible units, and the two can be said to be used for opposite purposes.
"Visual Sharing β On!"
Xia didn't dare to use his mind to possess himself, but chose a more peaceful superpower.
The first vision was soon revealed, though. But her eyes were full of blood red, and she couldn't see anything, and then she only felt that her vision was gradually blurring, and it didn't take long for her to become gray, and her spirit was directly bounced back.
"This shared object should have been stepped on by that huge thing just now."
A glimmer of realization rose in her heart:
"This monster is very tenacious, so it didn't die immediately; Anything else should have whined in an instant. β
"Visual Sharing!"
She was unlucky and used her superpowers again, only to lose her credentials right away.
"What the hell is this awesome guy out there? Just walking. That's how destructive it is. β
Several monsters were replaced in a row, all of them on the verge of death, which surprised her greatly, and at the same time felt deep fear.
"Finally there is a normal image."
It wasn't until the eleventh creature was shared that she saw the thing in its entirety.
The first thing that appears in the field of vision is the gray-and-white wings fluttering on the left and right sides, this time sharing with a bird; The bird first flew desperately to a high place, as if it was hiding something, until it was hundreds of meters in the air before its line of sight began to gradually fall. Captured a mountain peak with sparse greenery.
It was said to be a mountain peak, but Natsu was horrified to find that it was moving slowly.
Two human-like rock legs fell together with an extremely slow pace. Although some of her spiritual power was attached to the bird's body, she could still feel her body trembling with the two huge soles of her feet, and each tremor seemed to bounce her off the ground.
"Hill Watcher...... In myths and legends, it is nothing more than a giant's minions. β
The Dark Mage's Eye flew back into the Lich's hand, and hills covered with pale green vegetation emerged from the round sphere:
"This guy's strength should be weaker than that blue whale, but to me it's a terrible boss."
Seeing that the target of this hill watcher is not a cave. Xia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"What the hell woke it up?"
Visual sharing had no way to manipulate the other party's actions, and Natsu followed the bird that hovered in the air and narrowly escaped for a while, and then regained his spirit.
"I wonder about that, too."
The Lich used five metal fingerbones to pop the improvised Mage's Eye, and replied with a soul teleportation:
"It's supposed to be a monster with no sense of self. Acting in full obedience to the master's commands; I once saw a picture in an old magic book of a watchman with a bird on his head and an antelope jumping on his shoulder, which meant that he was so peaceful and unthreatening when he was asleep. β
"But this one we look at is like a raging bull, destroying everything that stands in its way, you see...... Even the hill was toppled by it. β
As the shaking of the ground subsided, the lich led Natsu to the entrance of the cave.
A heavy roar could be heard in the distance, and a puff of smoke rose into the sky, and the Hill Watcher could be seen destroying a rocky mountain, its fist like a strong human, smashing the hard mountain in just a few blows, leveling it to the ground.
"Is there a monster out there? - Where is it? β
Bellerel, who had been frightened so white just now, sneaked out and looked around around Xia.
"Oh oh! What a big monster. β
She soon saw the Hill Watcher wreaking havoc in the distance, and hid her face behind the rabbit in amazement, revealing only two curious eyes.
"Don't think about it, I'm not going to take you near it."
Xia seemed to see her thoughts, and spoke out in advance to gag her mouth.
"Hmm...... What does it matter? β
Bellerier buried his mouth behind the rabbit doll and said:
"You're a great sage, huh? This kind of thing can be done with two or three top magicians, and you don't have to worry about me having an accident. I'm not going to be trampled to death by it. β
"Ahh Look behind you! β
Natsu suddenly exclaimed.
"Wow, ahβββββhhh
The little princess jumped up in fright, sprang up behind her, grabbed her legs and peeked secretly towards the entrance of the cave.
I saw a terrible skeleton in a dark robe float out of it, smiling grimly at it.
The skeleton's head was metallic, it didn't look like an ordinary undead, and it held an ugly staff in its hand. It's actually a rare magic monster.
"Who disturbed the sleeping of the Great Lich King?"
The Lich roared in a wrenched rage:
"My name is Fernanxi - I am the undead monarch who rules this place; All the dead must obey my orders, you guys - get me that tasty-looking little one! I'm going to take her as a main course today! β
"Telekinesis Manipulation!"
Xia hurriedly used his superpowers to suspend the messy bones in the cave into the air, controlling them to fly slowly behind the lich, and some of the well-preserved animal bones of the skulls clicked on the gums, as if they were about to pounce on them in the next moment.
"Uh-uh......"
Seeing this terrifying scene, the little princess fainted with a dark face.
"Aren't we going too far?"
The silver-haired girl and the lich came to Bellerel, who was lying on her back on the ground, and after seeing the face of the highness, Natsu took out the medicine bottle from her waist bag and began to give her first aid.
"Dwarves are tested by guts before they reach adulthood."
The lich made a gesture of unknown meaning with his finger bones:
"Throw them into treacherous caverns filled with lava, or blindfolded into the Mind Flayer's lair where straws have been removed. Let the Mind Flayer's mouth gnaw on their heads...... Experience the horror of monsters and nature; Even if these guys pee their pants in fright, they will eventually become famous warriors. β
ββ¦β¦ Don't compare those young dwarves with little loli who are full of battles. β
Xia said helplessly:
"Look at how pitiful she is now, she was scared and fainted."
"It's self-inflicted, because the level of pressure is so poor."
The lich shrugged and said disapprovingly:
"This kind of thing can resist external forces, even if she falls inside the volcano, she can live for a long time."
But even God cannot stop the fragility of the human heart; Although she can breathe freely in lava under the influence of miracles, she will not feel cold and hungry. But that endless loneliness and loneliness can make people go crazy, and eventually get trapped there and die a sad death. β
"No, it won't. The magic talisman can be stimulated by spiritual power or magic power, this little guy already has considerable strength, in Faennes it should be close to the realm of a magician, and it is already very powerful at such a young age. β
Xia condensed a small ball of water, dissolved the pill inside, and gently pried Bellerel's teeth. Feed her and drink it.
"Hmm......" Bellerel clung to her bunny doll and rolled over on the ground.
"This dress is very curious, and it won't get dirty."
When Xia picked her up, he noticed something strange.
Your own body can destroy any magical composition, but you've touched this garment many times. None of it has eliminated its dusting effect, and it seems that there is something special about this white dress.
"Could it be that this thing is also an artifact? The Imperial Family is a luxury. β
She shook the little princess's face slightly, and after about a minute, the latter finally opened her eyes.
"-Monster!! That monster is going to eat me! β
When Bellerier regained consciousness, the first thing he did was jump up from the ground and threw himself into Natsu's arms.
"Don't be afraid, I've driven that monster away."
Xia said softly.
Then he stretched out a finger and swiped lightly in the air, and an invisible air blade smashed the skeleton next to him.
"Boom!"
Then she swept her fingers, and all the hideous-looking bones around her were shattered into pieces by her, and they were scattered all over the ground.
"What kind of magic is this? It's amazing. β
Belleriel's eyes widened as she looked at her slender fingers, and the fear she had just had drifted out of the clouds.
"Amazing. I'll teach you when I have a chance in the future. β
Xia compared the finger to the shape of a pistol, "banged" at a stone not far away, knocked the stone flying, and pretended to blow it, like a dashing sharpshooter blowing away the smoke from the muzzle.
"Sister, so handsome!"
Bellerel's eyes were filled with adoration. Two little hands grabbed her sleeve and refused to let go.
"Hmph, handsome."
The silver-haired girl spun her fingers in the air and touched her waist, putting away the non-existent gun.
"Sister, your hands are so beautiful."
The little princess's mind jumped very fast, and she immediately jumped from what had just happened to Xia's hand.
She grabbed the silver-haired girl's palm, stroked the graceful fingers, and then pressed her little face to it for a while. The soft cheeks rubbed Xia a little uneasy, and there was a stirring spirit on his body, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand.
"Ahem, since it's safe now, let's go."
She put Bellerel on the ground and ran outside again to scout for a while, and after making sure it was safe, she communicated with the lich and decided to go to the vicinity of the prism to check on the situation.
"As Tracy meant in his words. It seems that the commander named Leonier will be bad for the royals. β
Natsu recalled the conversation with the female colonel, and wondered where to send the little princess.
Now this is the case. If you want to be on the safe side, you should actually sneak into the fleet from the New World to Faenns, and send her back the way the little princess came here.
In this way, you can avoid the bad intentions of the commander, and you can also avoid being drawn into the war; A Hill Warden was enough for her to tremble, not to mention that there were many demons like Halva here, and powerful demons were hiding deep on the land. It can come out at any time and wreak havoc.
No matter how she thinks about it, this world thousands of years ago is much more dangerous than the time she traveled through the past, and even if she regains her strength, she may not dare to stay in this kind of place for a long time.
"There's a problem."
The lich looked at the great pit in the ground and said:
"If we go to the barracks, we'll need to go the same way as that big guy."
It looked up at the place where the Hill Watcher had departed:
"Hopefully it's just a coincidence, and its target also happens to be western...... I wonder if there's something in that place that attracts it. Or maybe this puppet, which had been sleeping for thousands of years, suddenly received an order to wake it up from its slumber and had to go there. β
"I hope it's a coincidence, too."
Natsu condensed the balloon, wiped her dusty face for herself and Belleriel, and flew into the sky again with her in her arms after radiant face.
This time, though, she didn't dare to fly too high, but flew close to the ground; Since all the monsters in the vicinity were killed or fled in panic, they didn't get into much trouble.
"Sister......
Bellerier was much more honest this time, lying in her arms with a happy face, and stroking her soft breasts with his hand:
"You...... Can I be my sister? I've always wanted a sister. β
Xia was a little uncomfortable being touched by her, but for the sake of the other party being a little Lori, she endured it:
"How many princesses are there in Harlem now? Are you the oldest? β
"You don't know?"
The little princess stopped in astonishment.
"I've been hiding in the mountains to practice magic, and I only broke through it not long ago."
Xia lied without blushing:
"This time, I also came to you after receiving someone's commission, and I don't know the current situation on the mainland."
"Is that so...... That's understandable. β
Bellerier breathed a sigh of relief, and fingers ran little by little on her bouncy breasts:
"I thought you were a hillbilly who hadn't seen the world, and that was too disappointing......"
Hey! This damn imp.
Hearing her words, Xia almost didn't have a crooked nose.
But think about your identity, the princess of a small kingdom; Probably in the eyes of the imperial royal family, this kind of existence is indeed no different from the hillbilly, and people are actually right, so they swallowed this breath.
"I'm the only daughter of Frederick II, the third generation of the Harlem royal family!"
Bellerier said proudly:
"I still have an older brother, but he's just a magical idiot and never plays with me, so I escaped from that cold magical tower."
"The Magic Tower...... I remember that Dolinda usually lives in the magic tower and can't go out, but as the eldest princess, Tasia can travel at will, could it be that the Empire has a tradition of imprisoning a certain princess? β
Xia thought of a piece of information that she had read in the intelligence, but this matter really had nothing to do with the matter in front of her, so it just turned around in her mind and quickly sank into it.
"Speaking of which, I'm a princess too."
The silver-haired girl said mischievously:
"But I'm not from this world, so I can't live in the magic tower as comfortably as you, so I can only run around hard, forced to do this and that...... Alas! It's annoying. β
"Sister, are you an apostle of God who saves the world?"
Bellerier immediately linked the incident of running around with his own beautiful imagination, and his face was full of adoration:
"I have heard my father say that there are heroes in this world who act according to the orders of the gods, they are strong and noble, and where there is injustice and suffering, they will help the people......"
"Hehe!"
Someone's laughter became a little forced:
"I'm not that good......"
"You must be!"
The little princess unconsciously used honorifics, hugged her neck and said:
"Can you tell me your name, sister? I'm going to do that to you when I grow up...... Ah! β
Her body shook, and a faint flash of light flashed from the magic talisman on her chest.
Natsu didn't notice this, and her body was rolled half a circle by a sudden strong air current, and she almost fell out of the air.
"Hurry up and fly back!"
The lich's voice rang out quickly:
"We seem to have been discovered!"
Xia Yi looked up and found a tall figure standing in the west, facing this side awe-inspiring at this time.
Several large birds fled from it in a hurry, and these flying creatures that used to be high up only flew to its chest.
The huge figure maintained a posture that had just finished throwing, one arm swinging diagonally to the ground, and from time to time rubble rolled down from it.
"Boom ββ!!"
There was a popping sound from behind her.
Xia Xin looked back in horror, and a huge rock was embedded in the middle of the rolling mountain range, like a gray bead that had penetrated into the mussel shell, knocking countless cracks into the hard mountain.
"It's coming again!"
The lich didn't care about hiding his figure, and rushed up directly in the black air, blocking in front of the two of them.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The Hill Watcher was huge and slow-moving, but he didn't feel bulky at all when he threw things; Three huge rock masses in a row were dug out of the ground by it and smashed them one by one in this direction!
It could be seen that its accuracy was not very good, and as soon as the light appeared on Natsu's bracelet, the first boulder passed by her, and the second flew over her head;
Before I had time to rejoice, the third piece arrived.
The boulder was thrown in the wrong place, and smashed straight into her position, instantly sealing off all the space in front of her, and even with the lich in front of her, the strong air pressure still made her breathless.
"Let me come!!"
In the face of this devastating attack, Bellerel's courage suddenly increased, and she bravely raised her small breasts, and the pendant on her neckline glowed with golden light.
Butβthe light was quickly extinguished.
"Huh? How...... How so! β
She lowered her head sluggishly and looked at the magic talisman on her chest, not understanding why this invincible talisman suddenly lost its effect. (To be continued.) )
