Chapter 43: Her Royal Highness the Reckless Princess

"Do you want me to believe you?" Hearing Hiko's question to himself, Dome immediately raised the corners of his mouth, and then stared at him with his blue eyes, while speaking to him with an oppressive momentum. "It's easy to convince me www.biquge.info of you, as long as you tell me your secrets." I don't want to know any other secrets, I just need to know why you were able to heal your wounds so quickly. ”

If Yan hadn't found anything greasy before, then now, no matter how stupid he is, it is impossible for him not to realize that this is all a trap set by the girl princess in front of him. And in order to explore their own secrets.

This made Yan have to sigh, the fact that women are born to deceive people is really not fake. He wanted to refuse, but looking at the eyes of the dome who would not give up until he reached his goal, he knew that even if he refused. Her Majesty, the proud princess, would not easily discourage her from exploring her secrets. She may even cause herself more trouble for this. And if that's the case, it's better for him to go straight to the line.

Yes, Yan has already planned to give in, and plans to reveal the secrets and disks of his holy light energy, so as to block the curious heart of the firmament. After all, the Holy Light Qi is also something that will be exposed sooner or later, and as a person living around him, it is not very realistic for Yan to want to hide the Holy Light Qi from the Firmament. In this case, it is better to directly pull out this superficial secret and use it as a shield. So as to hide their true secrets completely.

The ability to exchange information is his greatest secret and the foundation of his life. As long as this doesn't come to light, then it doesn't matter how much else is exposed.

Thinking about this clearly, Yan immediately let out a long breath, making a helpless, unwilling, but completely helpless look. He didn't directly satisfy Qiong's curiosity and directly tell her about the existence of the Holy Light Qi, but said to her in a solemn tone.

"It's okay for you to want to know my secret, but I have to figure out one thing first, and that is, can you keep this secret for me?"

"Are you questioning my credibility?"

Hearing Hiko say this, Dome inevitably furrowed his eyebrows. It was the first time she had met someone who questioned her credibility while knowing her identity, so naturally, a slight look of anger quickly appeared on her face. However, she did not have a seizure, but forcibly suppressed this anger. At the same time, he said to Yan in a tone of gnashing teeth.

"Well, since you doubt me. Then I swear in the name of His Majesty Alexia, the Radiant Sunseeker, that I will keep this secret for you. Otherwise, let the rays of the sun punish me. Well, you can talk about it now. ”

The dome didn't give Hiko a chance to stop it, so he made this oath directly with his own faith. And after hearing her say these words in the name of the Radiant Dragon, Hiko could only shake his head, and then nodded helplessly.

He didn't want to make things like this, because any oath made in the name of the gods was bound to be watched by the gods. And when a person makes such a vow, he will not be able to break what he has promised for the rest of his life. They were granted an authoritative arbitration from the Most High, but at the same time they had to pay a huge and dearly price. That's heavy by any measure. And this, obviously, is not what Hiko wants.

He just wanted to get Dome to make a verbal assurance. Because of the short time they got along, he already had a rough understanding of this girl's temper. This is a fierce and proud girl, both on the outside and on the inside, as sharp as a sword sharpened by the edge of the forest. Her actions, her thoughts, are the purest and most direct, even if they are tricky, she disdains to use the small means that women often use. So, even if it's just a verbal guarantee, Hiko believes that she can strictly abide by her promise.

It's just that he didn't expect that she was so simple that she directly swore in the name of the Radiant Dragon. This made things complicated abruptly, and if anyone wanted to know about it, both he and Dome would have to be in a lot of trouble.

His trouble came from the father of the dome, the king of the snowy mountains. If he knew that he had made the dome take a divine oath because of his own reasons, then perhaps the king would have come down from the mountains with his axe and talk to Hiko. It's definitely not a wonderful thing, but in comparison, Hiko's situation is quite slight.

Because compared to Hiko's troubles, the problem of the dome is more serious. As she revealed, she was a believer in a god. The Radiant Dragon, the worshipper of Alexia the Sunseeker. Although I don't know how far her devotion to the Sunseeker has reached, it must be far beyond the level of the world. And that's the problem.

The Nords are different from other races in the world. The other races, whether humans or elves, dwarves or centaurs and barbarians, all have their own gods to worship.

Paladin the Lord of Glory, Aishara, the Lady of the Star-Moon and Orneo, the Keeper of the Fire...... These are the names of the gods who are high up, and they are also the beings that are believed and worshipped by many living beings. Some of these beliefs belong to an individual, while others belong to an entire race. But it doesn't matter if it's an individual or an entire group. Inferior or noble, most of the creatures almost all have their own beliefs in the gods of the heavens. There are few exceptions to this. Even some of the beast races that have been civilized with wisdom will not be an exception.

However, there is always something special about this. That's Nord, the only difference in this world.

No matter what race it is, it is not as special as Nord's race. They don't believe in any gods at all, and they even say that they prefer to worship their ancestors than the gods in the sky.

No one knows how this custom came to be, and no one knows why the Nords kept it. I'm afraid the Nords themselves can't say this clearly. They only know that this is how the Nords have lived for thousands of years, and this way of life has been imprinted in the blood of every Nord person.

Treat courage as life, and death in battle as glory. Fought bloodily until the last moment, died of exhaustion in a glorious battle, and then walked into the temple where the ancestral spirits dwelled in armor and weapons in hand, enjoying the worship and reverence from the Nords.

Such a life is the life pursued by the Nords, and in such a life there is hardly any place left for the so-called gods. The Nords looked down on those who could not help themselves, and those who begged for power from the gods were the objects of their greatest contempt. This is one of the reasons why the Nords do not believe in gods. Their fierceness and valor do not allow for any kind of prayer.

However, there are no absolutes in anything, and there must be exceptions in a large race. Either exception is an alternative for the Nords, who respect tradition. They need to put in more effort and struggle to gain recognition from Nord. Maybe you won't even get anything out of your efforts.

And that's not the worst thing, the worst thing is what comes after death.

All living beings, no matter who they are, even the gods on high, will enter the dreamland of the Eternal Dead after death. And there, they have already arranged their own places and palaces for them.

The believers of the gods have their own place in the dreams of the Eternal Dead, and the Nords have their own ancestral halls, and the brave Nord ancestors welcome each Nord soul with open arms. This is the reward of the Eternal Ones for those who have made great achievements in their finite lives. And this kind of reward is a difficult choice for the Nords who believe in the gods.

They can't choose where they want to go, because the ferryman doesn't care what an undead thinks. He will send you where you need to go based on what you have behaved in front of you, and as a believer in the gods, he will obviously make the ferryman's choices a little offset.

In general, this shift is not too large. If they are lucky, some of the Nords who have faith may be able to go where they want to go. But if someone makes an oath to the gods and keeps them for the rest of their lives, then the ferryman will inevitably rely on them to take the deceased to the dream palace of the gods.

This is a good thing for most of the gods who believe in it, but it is the worst thing for the Nords, especially Nords like Dome. Ordinary Nords have turned their backs on their ancestors, and at most they have been scolded by their own descendants or some of their kindred, but if a princess like Dome turns her back on her ancestors, then she may receive the most serious punishment.

The royal family of Nord has never deviated from their traditions, and it can be said that as long as they are wise kings, they will inevitably have a place in the Hall of Ancestors. But if a being doesn't enter here, but instead enters a god's dream palace, then it will be a huge blow to the whole of Nord.

This kind of thing, even if the dome is the most cherished daughter of the king of the snowy mountain, there will be no possibility of being forgiven. Because that would be the greatest desecration of their traditions, and if this was forgiven, then the existence of Nord would not be necessary.

The Dome becomes a sacrifice, a sacrifice to guard traditions. And that's obviously something Hiko doesn't want to see. Change the time, change the place, change the situation. If the dome is not a child, but a sane and sensible adult. This vow is made casually. Then Zhou Yi will definitely not have any sympathy for her. He would only watch her pay for her actions.

However, the current dome is just a child. And it was because Hiko's momentary questioning was too angry, and he didn't think about the consequences for a while to do such a thing. This made Hiko unable to watch her suffer those treatments no matter what.

So, after a few thoughts, he immediately took Dome's hand, leaned close to her body, glared at her tightly, and said as if commanding her.

"I thought I had never heard of it, and you never said it. Got it?"
