Chapter 20: The Knight and the Princess
"It's a shame that it's not even here. ”
As one of the men slowly descended from the sky to the shore, he turned to the woman behind him with a mask that covered half of her face, a hint of bitterness in his brow.
This man who is dressed in decent clothes and already looks a little dirty, but does not damage his temperament like a prince at all, is none other than the right-hand man of the contemporary demon king Li Yong, one of the most powerful war commanders in the "Ten Demon Palace", "General Phantom Lin" Julian.
From the perspective of human aesthetics, it is difficult to imagine that a man will have such a handsome appearance, that handsome face like a sculpture, a handsome and delicate nose bridge and fair skin, coupled with a slender and well-proportioned body, it is simply the perfect lover that countless girls dream of.
"No, no, after all, the "Horus frescoes" are so easy to find. ”
Just after Julian smiled bitterly, the woman with a delicate "moon pattern" white jade mask on her face, covering half of her face, said coldly.
Although the part above the woman's nose is covered by the "moon mask mask", it can still be vaguely seen from her faintly exposed half of her pretty face and curvaceous figure that this person must be a peerless beauty.
"You...... Did you really spend a whole day in the ruins below?"
After seeing Julian and the woman jump out alive, the old man asked in disbelief while comforting his wife, who was almost scared to death.
"Uncle, thank you so much for this time, this is your reward, you better leave quickly. ”
Seeing that the two guides who had brought them here seemed to be a little frightened, Julian smiled mildly, and he casually took a piece of gold ornament from his waist and shoved it into the old man's hand.
This piece of gold jewelry looks shiny gold, and it is also full of weight in the hand, obviously made of pure gold, coupled with exquisite workmanship and pure color, I am afraid that the income from selling it is enough to make an ordinary family worry for a lifetime.
"This ...... We can't ...... it's worth it."
"Uncle, you should leave quickly, there will be a storm here soon, and we don't want to involve innocent people. ”
Seeing that this old man still wanted to excuse himself, Julian's brows furrowed, and his eyes swept towards the entrance of the "Divine Descent Lake", as if he had found something.
"Coming?" At this time, the woman wearing the moon mask, Lucia the "Moon Mask", also raised her eyebrows, and she clearly noticed Julian's rapid alertness.
"Within a radius of ten miles, a warning spell has been laid, no matter which direction you run, you will be discovered, and then the enemy's large army will immediately entangle. ”
Just when he entered this "God's Descent Lake", Julian had already expected that they would definitely be surrounded and intercepted, after all, such a big target of himself had been operating in the human sphere of influence for so long, and if no one came to hunt him down, it would be too much to look down on the sworn enemies of the "Demon Hunter".
But if it's not even here, the next destination will have to be in the "Endless Sea", which is not an easy place to get in and out...... Thinking of this, Julian couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little lost in his heart.
For more than half a year, Julian and Lucia have searched for about thirty "ancient ruins", just to find a "Horus mural" that may exist in them.
"Life and death have a fate, wealth is in the sky, if I die like this, then it means that my life should be like this, there is no need to force it. ”
After Lucia saw the "Phantom General's" gradually becoming gloomy, she walked up and held his hand, and her tone became somewhat softer, no longer as cold as before.
"No...... I won't let you die! If you really can't find that "primordial holy artifact", then I'll go and beg Your Highness! Even if I exchange my life, I must save you!"
Speaking of this, Julian's tone also became excited, and when he first met Lucia, the "Phantom General" was deeply attracted to this mysterious woman, and vowed to follow her for the rest of his life.
"Fool's ......"
Lucia clenched her fists, it was the first time she hated herself so much, why did she have that "disease", which had not only dragged down her family, friends, but even her lover over the years.
"That...... There is a very powerful pharmacist in our village, and he can see any disease, do you want to go and see it?"
After finding that the air between the two of them was getting heavier and heavier, the old man, who had reluctantly accepted the gold ornaments, spoke boldly, as if he wanted to provide them with a little help within his ability.
"No need uncle, her illness ...... It's not ordinary things that can be cured, so you better go quickly, or someone will ...... soon."
Boom!
But at this moment, just as Julian hurriedly wanted the two old men to leave first, a sharp and piercing roar suddenly sounded from the top of the four people's heads! Immediately after, a crimson "light curtain" sprinkled down from the clouds hundreds of meters high! Almost half of the range of the "Divine Descent Lake" was enveloped!
Seeing the red curtain of light disperse, Julian and Lucia's eyes immediately became serious, because they knew what they were about to face.
This kind of large-scale enchantment is a spell commonly used by high-level witchers to encircle and suppress their prey, and usually requires a large number of "master" witchers or "platinum" witchers to cast at the same time to unfold, but even the "king" will never be able to escape before the enchantment disappears!
"In this battle, there should be at least two "knighted-level witchers". ”
Julian put his hand on the "Tiger King" on his waist, apparently ready for battle.
"But that's it. Lucia snorted coldly, seemingly ignoring the strongest of the human race.
At this moment, two extremely oppressive breaths came from high in the sky! Instantly, the two ordinary old men not far away began to tremble with fright.
Are these two guys ...... "bad old man" and "battle maniac"? After seeing the two figures standing in the sky and looking at him condescendingly, Julian's grip on the hilt of the knife tightened.
"Earth-shaking Hand" Trom and "Heavenly Soldier" Renard, these two strong men among the human race are naturally worthy of Julian's attention, even if they are one-on-one, they are not his opponents. 2k reading web
