91. Return
The other members of the lion clan were also lying on the side, they were still in a coma, and Zhao Yuan was the fastest to wake up.
Mason's hand hadn't had time to deal with it, but it had already coagulated, Zhao Yuan helped him bandage it briefly, and quickly dripped some of the remaining light holy water in Liam's heart, so that he had time to look around.
As the phantom had said, the entire ruins were ruined. The spotless ground has long been covered with floating ash, which means that the mechanism for maintaining the entire ruins has failed. Zhao Yuan's heart moved, and a fireball immediately appeared in his hand, the small fireball exuded scorching energy, and the golden red light shone on Zhao Yuan's face warmly.
Zhao Yuan's expression was overjoyed, but he suddenly thought of something and raised his head to look up. He clearly remembered that there was a large fireball suspended in the middle of the altar, but he didn't know when the fireball disappeared, and everyone didn't even notice it.
This is simply incredible! Such a bright light source actually disappeared without anyone noticing, and Zhao Yuan's spiritual power was as high as the ninth order, and he didn't even find anything wrong.
He first used a divine expulsion technique to unlock the curse on Liam, released group healing for everyone, and placed a magic shield around the unconscious people, making sure that everyone was safe before getting up and walking towards the center of the altar.
In the center of the altar, a girl with a full body was curled up there, hearing Zhao Yuan's footsteps, her body trembled slightly, her palm-sized face was exposed from between the messy white hair, her skin was snow-white and soft, except for the slight ruddyness, it almost blended with the color of her hair, and a pair of round red eyes like Zhu Guo were looking at Zhao Yuan in fear.
For some reason, Zhao Yuan felt that her face was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. He took out a cloak from the storage ring and threw it on the girl, but his tone was cold: "When the others wake up, we will deal with you again." ”
This girl finally tricked them, and she was resurrected, and there was no reason to let her go in vain.
The girl suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhao Yuan's ankle, her voice was the same as her before, it was a somewhat immature girl's voice, obviously crying but with natural cuteness: "Zhao, Lord Zhao Yuan, please let me go once......"
Zhao Yuan glanced down at her, and his indifferent gaze met the girl's clear red eyes, which made the girl can't help but shrink.
"I am a member of the Tuyan clan, our race belongs to the lion clan, I found a relic of this scale and did not report it to the lion clan, they will never spare me when they wake up, and my clan will also be implicated......" said the girl, and the girl sobbed quietly.
"I just want to survive, and at the beginning, our adventure team was composed of mercenaries from all races, and no one would report to the clan, this is the default rule, how could I have thought that this kind of thing would happen......" The girl muttered, unable to tell whether she was talking to herself or to Zhao Yuan, her expression was dazed and desperate.
Zhao Yuan suddenly remembered where he had seen her. When he walked out of the Dust Mist Forest under the guidance of Old Xuanwu, the first people he saw were her and her mercenary team, and he was very interested in the rabbit man's furry tail. It's just that for some reason, the color of her original pink eyes has deepened a lot at this time, and if you don't look carefully, you will think that it is vermilion.
Zhao Yuan thought for a moment, but nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you, I'll put an invisible shield for you later, and you can leave on your own after we leave." ”
This rabbit girl did not harm them except for the last blow, and it is not a great crime. And when Zhao Yuangang left the forest, he wanted to help him. Whether it was out of exploitation or kindness, Zhao Yuan still had a vague affection for this orc he saw at first sight.
The rabbit girl didn't expect Zhao Yuan to let go of herself so easily, she was stunned with joy, and when she saw Zhao Yuan raising her feet to leave, she stopped Zhao Yuan again: "Lord Zhao Yuan, my name is Mi Ke'er, if you have a place in need in the future, Ke'er will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire!" Zhao Yuan listened, just nodded lightly, and went to the lion clan's side.
Mi Keer looked at Zhao Yuan's distant back, and secretly clenched the golden transparent bead in his hand, there was a small dragon figure in the middle of the bead, which was swimming slowly among the beads, which was very magical.
There was a faint look of guilt between her eyebrows, and finally she closed her eyes tightly, and silently thought in her heart: Lord Zhao Yuan, I will definitely repay you in the future.
After Mason and the others woke up, Zhao Yuan explained the situation to them roughly, although Mason and the others were a little unwilling, but this time they could be regarded as completing the task, so they had to set off and return the same way.
Unfortunately, when they were about to go to the other passages to get some treasures, a string of water suddenly leaked from the dome. Mason thought that the situation outside might not be good, so he used the teleportation array to send everyone out together. Treasures, though good, are not as important as life.
As for how the rabbit girl escaped from the crumbling ruins under the deep pool, it was up to her.
The distance set by the teleportation array was not far, just on the edge of the ruins, and Zhao Yuan could still hear the roar of the waterfall not far away. Liam also woke up slowly, he could be regarded as playing soy sauce from beginning to end this time, but no one blamed him, but he covered his head and felt very guilty.
After Mason fired the signal fireworks, someone soon came to answer them, but they also brought bad news to everyone: "The second prince who was guarding the mansion was attacked and assassinated by someone, fortunately, there is no big problem, and now His Majesty the Lion King is furious and has issued a wanted warrant to severely punish the murderer!"
After Mason knew that the second prince was fine, his stern face softened a little, and he ordered: "No need to trim up, we will set off for the return journey now." ”
Zhao Yuan had treated them before, and everyone had no other problems except that they were still a little weak and weak, so they rode on the wheeled horses brought by the receiver and galloped all the way back to the main city of the lion clan.
When they returned to the second prince's mansion, the atmosphere in the mansion was completely different from when they left, the servants all looked gloomy, and Celie, who came out to greet them, also had red eyes, and the little beauty who had always loved to smile was full of worry, and only then did she show a relieved expression when she saw Mason and Liam come back intact.
Mason and Celie talked briefly for a while, and then took Zhao Yuan and Liam to see the second prince. The room of the second prince was heavily guarded, and Zhao Yuan also felt the breath of the two seventh-order lion clans, presumably sent by the lion king to protect the second prince.
As soon as she entered the room, Celie sat next to the second prince, and her two white and tender little hands gently held the second prince's hand. The second prince was still in a coma, his face was blue, his body was covered with bandages, and he was obviously seriously injured.
Zhao Yuan looked at his appearance and understood that he might not be able to help much, if he was by his side when the second prince was just injured, he could still use the healing technique to quickly recover his injury, but now that the second prince's injury has stabilized, if he uses the healing technique to heal it quickly, it will consume his own vitality, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
"What was the situation like at that time, you can tell me in detail. Mason didn't care about Celie's red eyes and the look like he was about to cry, but said calmly as usual. Zhao Yuan heard the suppressed anger from the slight tremor of his voice.
Celie held back her tears and recounted the events of that day.
Celie had already said these words to the Lion King, so despite her emotional instability now, her speech was still organized and she remembered the details.
It turned out that when the assassination happened that day, the second prince had just returned from a drinking party, and he went back to his room drunk and slept with the help of Celie, and until then, everything was still normal.
If it weren't for Xili who later took the sobering decoction, she would not have found the second prince who was being assassinated and was struggling to resist. She threw the soup bowl in shock, and shouted for help to attract the guards, so that the second prince did not really die from the assassination, but despite this, he was still seriously injured.
"You said the second prince was awake when he was assassinated?" Mason quickly grasped the key.
"Yes, the second prince was forced into a corner at that time, and his body was covered in blood. Celie couldn't help but shudder as she recalled that scene.
"Since the second prince is awake, why didn't he call for help?" Mason continued. Zhao Yuan also thought of this, no matter how stupid the second prince was, he would not be reckless in this situation.
Celie explained: "The outside of the second prince's room must have been covered with soundproofing magic, and if people don't walk in, they can't hear the sound. ”
Mason nodded after hearing this, but Zhao Yuan glanced at Celie with some meaning, but Celie's attention was all on Mason and did not notice Zhao Yuan's gaze.
"What about the assassins, can you see who they are?" Mason continued.
Celie shook her head: "The assassins are all dressed in black, and they can't see their faces, only their eyes are exposed. One of them was a scepter with a scepter, and the others were armed with daggers. The weapon is also only a standard weapon, and has no characteristics. ”
"That's going to be difficult...... "Mason was reluctant to see what would happen this way, even though he had expected this to happen.
"Leave it to His Majesty the Lion King, Mason, and His Majesty will help us punish the murderer severely. Celie reassured.
Mason nodded, this is also a choice that has no choice, the only thing they can do now is to protect the injured second prince and help him recover from his injuries quickly.
"It's hard for you all this time, you're tired all the way, let's go and rest first, I'll take care of Your Royal Highness here. Celie saw that it was getting late, and stood up and spoke.
Liam's stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and although he was also very worried about the second prince, he and Mason Zhao Yuan withdrew from the room and went to eat together.
"Your Excellency Zhao Yuan, do you see anything?" Mason suddenly asked after the three of them walked away.
