Chapter 491: An Agreement Reached
"You don't know the other party's situation, how can you fight against so many people by yourself!" Qingxue asked me in a reproachful tone.
I know that this time has really worried everyone, so I'm a little sorry for it now.
I sued them because I heard the conversation between the three of them, and I felt that the other party's ghost was not strong, so I wanted to go into the house and control the three people. But I didn't think it was three people at all, but I also admit that I was too careless in the ambush this time.
"Four Tigers, it's good that you stirred up the spirit and let the spirit falcon come to report to us, otherwise you might have been taken away a long time ago! Don't go it alone next time! Qianmo also reminded me.
"Mainly, I thought Yujie would call someone else over soon!"
In fact, I also happened to want to ask Yujie what was going on at the time, after going for so long to bring other people, did she encounter any obstacles on the way.
Yu Jie looked at me with a puzzled expression, "I didn't even know that you went out, how could you call someone else!" Wait, is someone pretending to be me? ”
Things are really strange, and I'll start from the beginning. Everyone realized that someone had used a very clever illusion or disguise technique, taking advantage of my trust in Yujie, to lure me there.
And their purpose is very simple, which is to kidnap me, probably because they can't deal with all of us, so they tricked me out alone.
"It seems that we have been targeted," said the Le Xing Monk, "since the other party wants to take the Four Tigers." It didn't work out this time, and we will definitely do it again in the future, so we have to be careful and we must act together. ”
"Could it be that the Adversary sent someone?" Yujie asked. Wood-like scribing.
Monk Lexing said that it was not yet certain, but it seemed very likely at the moment.
At this time, the blacksmith entered the house in a panic, "May I ask which one is the princess of Snowpiercer?" ”
Qingxue looked at him curiously. "I'm just, what's wrong? How do you know I'm a princess? ”
The man said to us with a look of genuine trepidation that there was an adult outside the house who wanted to see Qingxue and asked him to report it.
We didn't tell anyone that the princess of Snow Country was here this time, so who could be this outside?
"I'll go out and have a look first, and you can keep an eye on it while you're in the house." Qingxue finished speaking and went out with the blacksmith.
We listened to the movement outside in the house, and acted as soon as the snow was in danger.
I looked out the window, and it was a mediocre-looking, robed man, followed by five guards, presumably a herald. As soon as the man saw the princess, he saluted respectfully, and his attitude was very good.
"The king heard that the princess had come to our country. So it was too aggrieved to let the villain come to welcome the princess into the castle, and to live here. ”
It seems that the king is not as careless as we think. has been secretly observing us, but he can still know that Qingxue is the princess of the Snow Country, which means that he has investigated more carefully, and it is estimated that the identities of several of us should also be known.
However, he took the initiative to invite us to the castle to save us the trouble of going in again, but I don't know if the king really meant it.
Qingxue thought for a while, "In this case, I'll discuss it with my friends and subordinates before replying to you." ”
Qingxue returned to the house, knowing that we had heard the conversation just now, and asked what should be done about it.
"This king is different from other countries, he must not have a good heart, maybe he wants to use Qingxue as a hostage to threaten the snow country." The big head is against rushing in.
Qianmo also felt that she should be cautious, and it was better for me to send a paper figure in to see where the dark crystal was, and then use her ability to go directly to the castle and steal it.
Ling Xiao and Yujie thought that we should go, and the king sent someone to invite us with such a good attitude, as if he had a request for us, maybe he wanted to figure out Guò Qingxue to win over the snow country.
Although I know that the king is not a good bird, I think it is easier to go in there than to be a thief to steal crystals, and not to go into the tiger's den to get a tiger.
Monk Le Xing didn't speak, he thought for a while and said, "Since you're here, let's go." When the time comes, if you ask us what we are doing, Qingxue will say that she knows that the national treasure is a black crystal, and she wants to open her eyes. ”
It seems that the monk is really a master of art and bold, and he is not afraid of this ambitious king at all.
There was no objection, so we followed the herald towards the castle. The capital of the Kingdom of Heaven is not large, so I soon came to the castle, and I found that it was a towering building with a black exterior that looked very mysterious.
Pointing to the top of the castle, Le Xing Monk said to us, "This is the commanding height of the entire demon realm, and it is also the most central location of the entire demon realm. ”
Judging from this position, I think it fits the name of the Heavenly Essentials Country very well. I think one of the five brothers who came here with the black crystal must have chosen this location to build the castle in the first place.
After entering the castle, I found that the guards here were indeed very strict, and if you really wanted to break in rashly, you would indeed encounter a lot of difficulties.
The walls of the castle were dark green on all sides, and even the stone pillars were dark green, with white trim only on the staircase and the edges, and a torch was lit at intervals, but the strangest thing was that the torch emitted a white light, which was particularly strange in this gloomy tone.
The herald took us directly to the main hall on the first floor, and said that the king was already waiting for us.
The hall is paved with gray-black marble, and there are four stone pillars on each side of the corridor. At the end of the corridor is a high platform that serves as a throne, flanked by heavily armed guards.
A translucent curtain was erected in front of the throne, and only a person sitting on the throne could be seen, but the king's face could not be seen. I thought to myself that this king is really mysterious enough, as if the Empress Dowager Cixi was hanging the curtain and listening to the government.
We went to the stone platform, and the herald reported to the king and went down, and we saluted the king in good form.
"The arrival of the Snow Country Princess is really disappointing!" The king's old voice echoed in the empty hall, and it was very intimidating.
After exchanging a few polite words with the king, the king asked Qingxue why she suddenly came to the kingdom of heaven.
According to the lines we had thought of earlier, Qingxue replied that he wanted to see the national treasure, the black crystal.
The king said meaningfully, "I see, I'm afraid it's not convenient." ”
Listening to his tone, it seemed to be very difficult, and I saw that he did not vehemently refuse, so I said to the king, "Your Royal Highness just wants to take a look, is the king still afraid that we will lose the dark crystal?" ”
In fact, we really planned, and after reading it, we knew the location of the black crystal, so that we could steal it out in the future.
"It's not that I don't accede to the princess's request, it's just." He thought for a moment and continued, "It's just that the dark crystal is spiritual, and I need to pick a good day and do a ritual to communicate with it, and then ask it if it would like to see the princess." As long as the dark crystal agrees, I naturally won't deliberately not give the princess a visit. ”
I didn't expect that the black crystal was quite good at playing big names, not everyone who wanted to see it, combined with the ability of the black crystal that the lord of the manor told me, it can transfer one person's ghost energy to another person. I suddenly felt like the dark crystal was like a person who knew how to manipulate, with both special abilities and a will of his own.
The king has said so, so we will stop pressing on him, and give him some time to prepare. Besides, we are now under one roof, and we don't have so many options.
"I'll be sure to ask the Dark Crystal and try to persuade it to agree to the princess's request." The king had a very good attitude, and after saying that, he cleared his throat and continued to say to Qingxue, "The Heavenly Kingdom and the Snow Country have not been in contact for many years, and there is not even a letter, and now the Heavenly Kingdom is isolated by the surrounding countries, and the situation is very difficult, so we can only strengthen the defense of the army. ”
He sighed as he spoke, feeling that he was also helpless to become such a situation, "And the environment of the Snow Country and the Heavenly Country is very similar, both are built in a cold place, if we can in the future, I hope to communicate with the Snow Country more, if we encounter difficulties, we can also help each other." ”
I just saw that his attitude was so good, and sure enough, this was the goal, speaking of which, he just wanted to win over the Snow Country, and at this time, if he explicitly rejected him, I am afraid it would not be good, I think I should agree first.
