In a cramped cave, Spence was still unconscious, his wounds simply bandaged.

Arthur sat at the entrance of the cave and looked out warily, while grinding his nails with a small inch-long sword in boredom.

After Joan covered Spence with a blanket, she sat down next to Arthur and took the little sword and played with it.

This sword is not gold or jade, and the material is invisible, one side of the sword is engraved with two small characters of "light erosion", and the other side is engraved with two miniature magic arrays, Joan only recognizes one "Flying Technique", and the other one has never been seen.

In front of the tavern, Joan recognized Arthur's lightsaber as it was the same sword that Reverend Thorn had shot at the Grand Wizard Austin at the last moment outside the palace. The things that were worn around the neck by the Requisition Priest Bright were naturally of extraordinary value, and I didn't expect to pick them up when Arthur was cleaning the battlefield.

When Arthur handed over the two spatial rings to the Austin Archmage, he deliberately kept the small sword, and it is also possible that the Austin Archmage deliberately pretended not to know about leaving it to Arthur.

Qiong Mo held the small sword and said: "This sword is very strange, it doesn't look very powerful, but it can seriously injure the warriors. ”

"It may have something to do with the strange magic array above, he destroys the meridians of the human body, and the part that is stabbed can no longer operate the fighting energy and magic power, and completely ignores the level of the other party. Arthur explained.

"This kind of yin stuff is really for you. ”

Arthur ignored Joan's joke, but tilted his head to look at him, "Don't change the subject, you should have something to tell me, right?"

Joan smiled sheepishly, "You mean Spence, thank you for taking the risk to help me save him." ”

"Do I want to hear your thanks? I want to know who you are?"

Joan mustered up the courage to speak, "Spence is not actually my relative, he was my mother's lover when she was young, and I can't explain that situation. ”

"He's your motherfucker, haha......" Arthur couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Fuck you!" said Joan, with a black face.

"No, I mean Spence looks like this and even cuckolded the emperor. ”

"Spence had not yet married into the palace when he met my mother, and Spence did not have a beard when he was younger. You don't notice that if he shaved his beard, he would have thick eyebrows and big eyes. ”

Arthur's gossip spirit was also hooked, "Okay, so how did they get apart later?"

Joan began to talk about the past, "My mother came from a marquisate family in the kingdom of Rouge, and when she was young, she was a famous beauty in the kingdom, and the king of Rouge consulted with my mother's family to send her to the imperial palace. Spence was already courting my mother at that time, but his family was just an ordinary local earl family, and he was not the eldest son who could inherit the title, and my mother's family would certainly not agree. When my mother learned that she was going to be sent to the Imperial Palace, she approached Spence and asked him to elope with her. ”

"What happened?"

Spence backed down at the last moment, eloped with the girl who was to be sent to the Imperial Palace, and was to be punished by the kingdom for a felony. My mother was disheartened and married into the Imperial Palace. Spence may have been in love with him, having come to Arrantis after my mother and finding an opportunity to join the Dragonscale Guard, whom I had seen as a child. He was now the deputy commander of the city guard, and I was promoted after my mother's death. ”

Arthur smiled evilly and nodded, "I see, although this Spence is a little timid, he is also very affectionate to your mother, and he even joined the Dragonscale Guard in order to be by her side." Your mother told you this?"

"Of course not, it was Aunt Joanna who told me later. ”

"Then they haven't rekindled their old feelings all these years?" Arthur was ready to continue to ask deeply.

A soft grunt came from inside, and Spence woke up.

Spence let out a long sigh of relief and forced himself to sit up.

Joan pressed Spence, "You're badly injured, lie down first, don't force it." ”

This embarrassed look made His Highness smile. ”

"There are no outsiders here, so Uncle Spence doesn't need to call me Your Highness, just call me Joan. Why are you hurt so badly?"

"On the night His Royal Highness entered the city, I was slapped by Grand Duke Amaya and injured the dantian, and after escaping, I was chased and killed by the dragon scale guards sent by the emperor one after another, and the new and old injuries were superimposed, so I got to this situation. ”

"Is it any wonder that Amaia was personally directing the battle when we arrived in the South City?" muttered Arthur next to him.

"I haven't been in the city guard for a long time, and there are not many real henchmen and generals under my command, Amaya personally led the troops to attack the city, and many soldiers gave up resistance directly, and the responsibility for this rout lies with me!" Spence covered his face with his hands in pain.

"You don't have to blame yourself too much, after all, no one expected the Church of Light to openly stand up in support of Grantham, aren't we both running for our lives now?" said Joan, half comforting, half self-deprecating.

Spence sighed deeply, "It's that I'm so incompetent, and I still can't give Aisha this breath after all." ”

Joan was stunned, "You're on Alex's side because of my mother." ”

Although Aisha died of illness that year, the kind-hearted Aisha died of depression because of the emperor's continuous exclusion and blows. I know that if His Highness ascends the throne, he will definitely deal with the Emperor and the Second Highness, and this is my only chance to avenge Aisha. ”

Joan didn't speak for a long time.

Joan suddenly spoke, "Where are you going to go in the future?"

Spence smiled bitterly, "Where can you go? Run for your life first, if you can escape this catastrophe, just find a random place to die, there is no hope of avenging your mother in this life." ”

Perhaps because she was moved, Joan suddenly sent an invitation to Spence, "Since you don't have anywhere to go for the time being, why don't you come with us to the dwarven Earthforg?"

"The Dwarven Realm, though not as closed as the Elves, is not welcoming to outsiders. Spence said with doubt.

"We have friends in the Dwarven Kingdom, don't we, Arthur?

Arthur spread his hands, signaling that he didn't care.

Spence showed a hint of emotion, but then refused, "You two let's go, just leave me some food and water, I'm seriously injured, and it won't be possible to recover to the combat strength of the generals for a long time, and it will drag you down with you." ”

"It's okay, Arthur knows all kinds of healing magic, right, Arthur?"

Spence's eyes lit up.

Arthur grinned, folded his hands and counted: "Yes, that's right, I will be able to use the 'Light Healing Technique' at the level of light, the 'New Leaf Tree' at the level of wood, and the 'Water Run' at the level of water."

Spence's gaze immediately dimmed, "I'm injured in the dantian, unless the water system is a great magician, it will be difficult to recover completely in the short term." ”

Joan understood Spence's thoughts, and continued to persuade: "We are now connected to the same fate, who may drag whom?"

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the cave.

"Crow's mouth!" Arthur glared at Joan angrily, and quickly swept towards the mouth of the cave.
