Chapter 352: Death Will (2)
Soon, there were several particularly big events on the island of Bosilica, and even the people of the other islands of the Naga Sea had heard of it, in Princess Luna's territory, two chiefs of the tribes died suddenly in their own territory, and the reasons for their deaths were different, both of them were wars to launch a coup d'état in their own territory, but their plans were learned in advance by Princess Luna, and the princess sent her most elite assassins to kill the two chiefs directly in her room.
The princess soon published the results of the investigation, and there were a number of witnesses from each tribe who confirmed that there was nothing wrong with what the princess said.
According to the testimony of these witnesses, both chiefs were instructed by Prince Drystan, who is also a contender for Princess Luna's throne, to influence Princess Luna's ruling test through war.
If you want to become the king of Boslica, you need to go through three tests, the first is the test of governance, although there are no other constraints in the rules, that is to say, competitors can influence their opponents through political means, but the prince's method this time is really unpopular, war for them in power, may be just some shocking figures, but for civilians, it means that the family is ruined.
As soon as the news was sent, it immediately spread throughout the island of Bosilica.
The prince immediately came forward to refute the rumors, saying that he had not been in contact with any of the chiefs in Princess Luna's domain, and these claims were just lies made up by the two chiefs to make Luna have some scruples.
Of course, this is all expected by Luna. As for whether the commoners will believe Prince Drystan's statement, it is not something that the prince can control, and this matter has put the prince in a disadvantageous position in this ruling trial.
In addition to this matter, Princess Luna also announced Tristan's death, as a powerful knight known to the island of Boslica, Tristan's death undoubtedly made these civilians sigh, Tristan has a high reputation in the kingdom of Bosiliga, this time he was also killed in the process of fighting the traitor, Princess Luna personally attended Tristan's funeral, if it were not for the rules of the succession test, the current king must not have direct contact with any heir to the throne, and the king would also come to the funeral, but even so, King Bosrika also sent a messenger, which is already a great honor for Tristan。
After the funeral, Princess Luna also began the selection of the guards the next day, and Tristan's disciple, the young female knight Sivir, defeated the other candidates and successfully became the new princess bodyguard. During the fight, Sivir even showed Tristan's famous sword skills. However, many people who know the situation have already made such speculations before.
After this incident, there were no major waves in the selection of the throne of Bosiliga, and the five-year test period was soon over, and next, the two contenders will begin the second round of tests, they will go to the royal city of Bosriga, and the training of the emperor's fighting spirit, magic and knowledge, only if their own strength and theoretical knowledge are all tested, they will be successful and suitable heirs to the throne.
The time of this test lasted for two years, because it was in the royal city of Bosliga, so the civilians of Bosilijia also temporarily said goodbye to the gossip news in the test, but in the royal city of Bosiliga, the colosseum that has been handed down for a hundred years is still there, and this is the place where the nobles of the kingdom often come to exchange salons, and the princess guard Sivir, although he has inherited the title of knight chief, but after all, he is still young, and Tristan's prestige cannot be compared at all, and some nobles have some rumors circulating in private, and they began to make a fuss about Sivir's origin。
I don't know if it was because of the princess's instructions or Sivir's own wishes, Sivir actually accepted the invitation of the Grand Duel Arena and participated in the sword fighting competition in the Grand Duel Arena.
Similar to the era before the Demon War, there were many people from Bosilika who were born poor, and they were eager to improve their fame through gladiatorial fighting, and they only had the eyes of killing their opponents, and they didn't care if you were a prince or nobleman, whether you were a man or a woman. The Grand Dueling Arena was overcrowded on this day, and almost all the nobles were present.
Contrary to their expectations, Sivir won ten consecutive victories cleanly, and set the record for the fastest ten consecutive victories in the Grand Duel Arena in the past decade, and her opponent couldn't hold out for a few rounds in front of Sivir's fierce sword skills. You know, the last record holder for the fastest ten-game winning streak was none other than Sivir's teacher, the late Knight Captain Tristan.
Sivir refused the Grand Duel's request to let her continue to challenge, the times are not the same as before, almost no one will challenge Bai Victory, and Sivir is already the princess's bodyguard, she does not need to go for greater glory.
"Ten people, I killed ten innocent people this time. When Sivir returned to his room, the first thing he did was pray.
When facing Tristan and Hans, she can kill without hesitation, but this time, she has no reason to kill, but if she doesn't kill her opponent, she will be killed by her opponent, and this is the cruel Grand Duel Arena!
Two years have passed, and Princess Luna and Prince Drestan have each successfully completed the second test, with the difference that Drestan eventually becomes a powerful knight and Luna is an ice magician. They are about to go through the final test, the test that will ultimately determine the ownership of the throne.
They have to go to the terrifying dangerous ruins of Bosrika and the surrounding seas to prove their ability to command the team, no matter what kind of dangerous area, they can conquer, this is the qualified king of Bosilica, and similarly, they also need to get enough "achievements" in the process of adventure, this kind of thing, to put it bluntly, is the proof of the adventure process, Prince Drystan went to the Broken Islands of the Naga Sea, and Luna chose the terrifying "Siren Ruins" handed down from the era of Dilubo. ”
It is not a matter of recent years that this Siren Ruins were discovered, long before the last king selection, the Siren Ruins have been accurately marked on the map, but this is really too famous, even the northern seas of Bosriga, have become the place of exile prisoners, and the competitors who participated in the test with this King of Bosrijia finally died in the ruins of the Siren, and none of the bones remained, and none of the warriors who traveled with him came back alive.
......
"Your Highness Princess, why did you choose the Kraken Ruins, it's too dangerous here. The night that Sivir learned the news, he immediately went to Luna's room.
"If nothing else, I just want to silence those who question me completely, and I am the qualified king of Bosriga. Luna's tone was resolute, "Pick the best fighters and prepare for this adventure." ”
Sivir never argued with the princess, especially after Tristan's death, she was in Bosliga, almost only Luna was a relative, and after the demon incident on the island, Sivir's personality gradually became withdrawn, outsiders only knew that she was a kaolin flower that could only be seen from afar, but no one could understand Sivir's heart.
"After this operation, you should also find a suitable partner, there are many letters from nobles, which give me a headache. Princess Luna quipped as she put on her sleepiness.
"Your Highness, you know, this is impossible. Sivir stood straight in front of the door like a javelin: "I am your guard, my life is to protect your safety, this kind of thing is to defile my profession, I am a knight who belongs only to you." ”
"Can you not have a tendon and find a partner and be my bodyguard?" said Luna, a little helplessly.
Although Sivir's appearance is not beautiful, but he is full of heroism, and he is strong, he is in a high position as a knight, and his age is also young, which is simply the perfect mate selection standard, and many of the nobles of Bosilijia have hooked up with Sivir through Princess Luna, but they have been ruthlessly rejected by Sivir.
"This is the only thing, and my subordinates can't agree to your request. Sivir spoke firmly.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Luna's eyes suddenly became fierce, "I hope you can understand one thing, this battle, this Kraken Ruins, there are demon spirits in it, this has been confirmed, if I remember correctly, your long-cherished wish is to kill demon spirits, right?" ”
"That's right, kill all demons, even if you live or die. Sivir said in a deep voice.
"There is another reason why I chose this place, I have sent someone to collect information about the ruins of the Kraken before, this dangerous place, as a trial content, the 'actual performance' is definitely higher than that of the Broken Isles, fortunately, I also managed to get the map here, you come and see. ”
Luna pulls out a parchment map from her spatial ring and lays it out neatly on her bed.
"There are two passages inside the ruins, one of which leads to the treasure of the Siren Ruins, there is no demon spirit activity in it, but in it you can collect information about the cause of the formation of the Siren Ruins, and you can even get a lot of treasures, on the other side is the lair of the demon spirits, and the demon spirits that are active around are basically entrenched in it, if it were you, which path would you choose?"
"The way to the demon's lair, of course. ”
"But I'm going to choose the other side, because it's about my test, and my first task is to collect the results and come out alive. Luna looked into Sivir's eyes, "Are you violating your duty as my bodyguard?"
Sivir took a deep breath: "Your Royal Highness, please understand. ”
"Is this your knighthood?" Princess Luna's eyes burned.
Sivir's body shook.
On that night of confrontation with Tristan, she said the same thing.
Is this really her chivalric way?
Her unwavering choice, even a little funny, had sworn to protect the princess and save innocent people, but now she wanted to abandon the princess's guards' first priority, which was simply a childlike choice.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, we definitely have enough manpower, wait until we go to the ruins, and then make a decision. Luna seemed to see Xavier's inner choice, and immediately patted Xavier's armor: "I'm a little abrupt, I need to give you some time to think about it." ”
......
"Sivir, come over here. ”
The atmosphere of the team was a little depressing, these mainlanders who suddenly appeared, not only won the battle in the competition, but also killed the warriors of the two princesses, especially the powerful magician, he even showed the strength and fighting ability beyond the knight's fighting spirit, the distant continent is quite mysterious for the Bosrijia people, these Bosrijia warriors who are usually above the top, finally felt the pressure.
"What's the matter, Your Highness Princess?"
In today's scramble, Sivir did not show his full strength, not even half of his strength to be exact, which is also the opinion of the princess. They didn't intend to win this matchup.
"I agree to your request. ”
"Ah, my request?" said Sivir, who was stunned.
"You go to the other side of the road, the lair of the demons, and when you get to the ruins, I will separate the group, and I will lead a group of people to the treasure, and you and the man named Ron will go to the lair of the demons. ”
"Your Royal Highness, do you want him to die like that?"
"They are mainlanders in the end, and their existence will affect my assessment. Luna whispered, "As the princess of Postrica, that's all I can do." ”
"I see, Your Highness Luna, thank you for your support. A smile suddenly appeared on Sivir's face.
......
Luna silently walked at the front of the group, and after the group parted, she followed the signs on the map and walked towards the path to the treasure, but at this moment, the smile on Silvir's face the previous night suddenly appeared in her mind for no apparent reason. She never called herself by her first name, let alone added the word 'Your Highness' to the end of her name.
Luna's heart sank suddenly, this guard of her own. It seems that at that time, the will to die has already sprouted in my heart, the girl who survived the small village destroyed by the demon spirit, is she going to fight to the death with her own life against the demon spirit here?
In fact, Luna's guess was not wrong.
......
In the dim environment, the role of the writing wheel eye is more obvious, Ron leads the team forward, while paying attention to the environment of the cave, and without much walking, he discovers the first interesting information.
Ron motioned for the group to stop for a moment, and he raised his torch to the bottom of the cave wall.
"You see, there are some tiny claw marks here, it should be some kind of animal—no, it should be the demon spirit left in this ruin, the princess said before that there are demon spirits here, this news should be true. ”
"Mr. Ron, you have such good eyes, you can see it. Sivir smiled.
Ron glanced at the princess guard, and for some reason, the atmosphere of the entire team was quite depressing after entering the ruins, but the female knight seemed to be in a good mood.
Writing wheels can see through other people's tricks, but they can't see other people's hearts.
Everywhere he couldn't see, Sivir's hands trembled slightly with excitement and nervousness.
She has been waiting for more than ten years to fight with the demon spirit, waiting for this time for revenge. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
