Chapter Forty-Nine: Better Than Family
Yarman smiled bitterly:
"If she had listened to what I said, she wouldn't have been like this, would she have been like this?"
Bud rubbed the medicine on the wound on his bare arm, straightened up, and said:
"Well, why do you think this kid is so stubborn? Is he going to save the world or what? So anxious to practice fire? He paused and said, "I'll call Mary to clean up the remaining wounds on my back, okay?" ”
"Well, I'm sorry for you."
"Try not to get water on the wound in the past few days, and wash it after the scab falls off, before and after, it will take about seven or eight days."
"Got it." Yarman sighed, saw that Mary was about to untie Shen Wan's coat, and hurriedly said:
"I ...... I shy away. "Mary was the king's personal maid to the princess, and she was installed as a military doctor. These injuries were also dealt with by her. It's just that this time the wound is serious, and Mary is a person from the king, so she must inevitably tell him, so isn't her role as a guard very bad? I don't know if the king will scold the princess...... Alas.
……
In the evening, the sunset on the horizon is dyed with a reddish-purple color, which spreads in the air like a water-soaked pigment, which is extremely magnificent. Shen Wan slowly opened her eyes, looked at the sky outside the tent, and suddenly sat up, the stinging pain on her back and arm made her "hiss" and frown: this time it seems that the injury is more serious than estimated...... If it is discovered by his father, he will inevitably have to talk about it at that time. Yarman entered the tent, saw Shen Wan wake up, and hurriedly asked:
"How are you?"
"It's no big deal. How long did I sleep? She asked softly.
"Soon, almost an afternoon."
"Whew, that's good." She stretched her eyebrows, got up tremblingly, and was stopped by Yarman:
"You're all hurt like this? Still going out? ”
"Hmm."
Yarman asked puzzledly, "Your Highness Princess, what is the matter that is more important than your own health??! ”
"My best friend...... Gone, he lost his hearing to save me. Compared to my little injury, I can't even think about where he is and how he should deal with himself. When Shen Wanyi talked about this, her heart felt like she had been picked up.
Seeing the panic in her eyes that had never been seen before, Yarman froze in place, looking at the woman, who had been extremely strong all along, limping and struggling, and walked out of the tent, stretched out her blocking hand, and froze in the air.
……
"Dad, didn't you mention the space ring yesterday? I'm still a little unclear, so I'll talk about it in detail! As soon as Shen Wan rushed into the Fire Clan Hall, he said urgently.
"Ann, you're training so hard, you don't have to run around every day. Dad has told you several times, and when it comes to it, it's nothing more than the theories in those books. That is to say, Beigong Han carried your jade pendant around his waist that day, and somehow touched the hidden mechanism where the empty ring was placed, and he bled out, so he signed a contract with the ring. ”
"But he's not from the Fire Clan, how can he sign it?"
"It's your piece of red jade, which has a small part of your spiritual power, so ...... Ann, you said that you gave him something bad, be sure to give him the token that symbolizes his status. Don't you know how precious that is? If he loses it or leaves it somewhere else and is used by others, he may be able to easily enter and exit the Fire Clan. Didn't it remind you repeatedly when it was given to you? Have you forgotten? Antoine frowned.
"I haven't forgotten." Shen Wan paused and said, "It is because of him that I will give it." With the token, he will not be looked down upon by his people, and whoever sees him will know what he means to me and treat him with courtesy. I just want him to be safe, is that also wrong? Stubbornness flashed in her blue eyes.
"An, dad asked you, what is Beigong to you? Is it a friend, or is it a ......" is self-evident.
Shen Wan was stopped by a question from him: What is Beigong to her? He was her first bosom friend to the Shenzhou Continent, and he was a safe haven she could rely on when she was sad, but his meaning to herself seemed to be far more than that. Shen Wan felt bored for no reason, and she hurriedly spoke:
"He is my family to me." Antoine raised an eyebrow, glanced at her meaningfully, and remained silent.
"Where did he go? How do I find him? Shen Wan was not very comfortable with his gaze, suppressed the exploration of the question just now in his heart, and then said:
"Daddy...... After so many days, you gave me an explanation. ”
"Don't worry, didn't I say that? The empty ring will resume its teleportation function every few days. In other words, no matter where Beigong is now, as long as he is alive and wears this ring, he will be able to come back when his spiritual power is enough. ”
"How long is this going to take? In case there are three long and two short things on the way, how can he come back......" The more Shen Wan thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her blue eyes flashed with deep uneasiness and fear. Antoine frowned when he saw this, and just wanted to say something, only to hear a "click", and the door of the temple was pushed open.
He strode forward at the right time, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty! After so many days, where is my son-in-law? He traveled this time because he had a mission, and this suddenly disappeared, and I couldn't explain it when I went back. ”
Antoine whispered, "I'm sorry, but it's my problem." Beigong I will definitely find it back, I was just about to tell An about it, today I flipped through the ancient books and found the way to find it, and the red jade is the key. ”
"The token only stores a small part of my spiritual power, what's the use?" Shen Wan asked suspiciously.
"Contract." Antoine paused and continued: "With a drop of blood, you signed a contract with Ruby, and it is also kept in the token as a part of you. So, if it'......"
"Blood tracking?" Shen Wan continued.
"Yes. However, if it is out of the range of the four clans, due to the invisible barrier between the four clans and the Shenzhou Continent, this method will become invalid. ”
"Let's get started, then." Shen Wandao.
Antoine reached out and groped for the side of the throne, only to hear a "click", and the center of the hall suddenly recessed, and a fiery red pillar about half a meter high rose in between, on which a colored square was placed. It was surrounded by an ethereal mist, and it was impossible to see through the inside, Shen Wan approached, looked at it for a while, and asked:
"What is this? How do I use it? ”
"It's called Mig, a treasure handed down from our ancestors. The top and bottom are transparent, and there are four clans on all sides, the closest to you is my clan, the opposite ice clan, the wind clan on the left, and the phantom clan on the right. Which module shows the color of red flames is where the North Palace is located. First, three drops of blood in the palm of the hand, dropped on the upward side. ”
Antoine handed over the empty tube silver needle, Shen Wan poked it without hesitation, the pain in her heart continued to stimulate her nerves, and the cells in her whole body seemed to begin to hurt. His temples jumped suddenly, and a burst of black intent hit him. The blood dripped very slowly, as if she had been subjected to the pain on purpose. A pair of hands gently held her at her side, and she hooked her lips and smiled gratefully.
Three drops of blood soaked the block, and the surrounding mist surged as if it had been activated. Antoine's voice came from Shen Wan's ears:
"Ann, put your hands on it, close your eyes, concentrate, and think about the person you're looking for."
Shen Wan took a deep breath and covered her hands. The surface of the company gradually began to burn, but the white mist around it did not dissipate, and there was no sign of discoloration on all sides. Antoine furrowed his brow: What's going on? In the days when An Gang left the Fire Clan, he also used Mige to find her. Why is there no reaction today? Isn't Beigong Han in the Shenzhou Continent?
"That's it, Ann." He tore off Shen Wan's tightly pressed hand, "Mige didn't react, Beigong is not in the four clans." ”
"Childe is not in the four clans? Could it be that it is already in the Shenzhou Continent? Ying Shi clenched his fist and asked.
"I don't know. The detection range of this Mige is limited to the four families, so there is no way. Antoine sighed. Looking at Shen Wan with a stunned look in his eyes, he comforted:
"But breaking away from the four clans is also out of danger, isn't it? The Shenzhou Continent is much safer than here, right? ”
Ying Shi thought for a while and said, "That's the same." He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please approve me to go to the Library Pavilion tomorrow, I want to look for clues again." ”
"Okay, no problem. There you go. ”
"Retire at the right time."
"Dad, but how do you know if there is any unknown territory outside the Shenzhou Continent? Maybe Beigong didn't know how to use this empty ring and was taken to that kind of place, wouldn't that be more dangerous? Shen Wan was still not at ease.
"Oh, my little ancestor, it's useless for you to worry so much now. Beigong will be fine, although he has lost his hearing, he is so smart and knows martial arts, don't you believe him? Antoine said, patting Shen Wan's hand soothingly, the touch was cold, and he was surprised:
"Ann, why are your hands so cold? Is it that you haven't rested well after staying up late to train? ”
Shen Wan withdrew her hand and said nothing with a straight face.
Antoine suddenly caught a shocking glimpse of the reddened burn that had not been covered by his long sleeves, which had spread all the way to the sleeves. He twisted his eyebrows and rebuked:
"Ann! How many times has Dad told you, don't take care of yourself. Why do you see that you are covered in bruises every day? The boy is better, but you're a girl, don't you care about your looks or anything? Where else is it hurt, have you ever taken medicine? ”
Shen Wan said lightly: "Dad, you don't have to make a fuss, it's all minor injuries, just apply some medicine, there will be no scars, and there is no worry about your life." ”
"A small injury? You say it's a minor injury? What does it mean to be a serious injury? Lose your head?! I'm going to be by you!! Antoine yelled at her indifference.
"My daughter didn't say that." Shen Wan lowered her eyelids and said softly: "After so many things happened, my daughter just wants to become stronger, is it wrong?" The life in the barracks for more than half a month has been very fulfilling. I'm tired, so I'll go back to camp and come back tomorrow, good night." ”
With a "click", the door opened, and the slender figure did not stop, disappearing into the night.
"Alas......" Antoine shook his head and sighed deeply.
