Chapter 25: Rivers and Lakes
On a land of silver and white, the knights galloped vigorously through the snow and ice, following behind a ridiculously large beast.
This kind of running has been going on for most of the day, and I may have been a little dissatisfied at the time, but now I am glad that I can lie under Xiaobai's soft fur, away from the cold wind.
Finally on the horizon, two tall protrusions burst out of sight, and some of the two groups of knights behind them also let out cheers, I think we have reached our intended destination, the river and the lake.
After half an hour of rapid running, we came to the fish-man tribe in front of us.
"Well, how to say it. I appreciate your decision to build your home underwater, Sir Lucia, but how can you make sure you don't drown?"
After knocking out two fishmen who dared to shamelessly undress in front of the lady with the holy sword. I said to the blue-skinned fishman with thick bangs behind me, pointing to the ice-covered lake in front of me.
"Your Highness, the skin of our fishmen has the characteristics of naturally insulating from temperature differences, and on both sides of the cheeks, we also have gills that are used for underwater breathing like fish, which can allow us to stay underwater for a long time. It's just that when you come out, it's a little troublesome, and you have to go through the dragon pit carefully every time to get out. ”
"Dragon pit?"
Inexplicably, I am a little curious about the term dragon pit, as we all know, no matter where the dragon is, this creature is a representative of strength and ferocity.
And as a knight, dragon slaying is the ultimate dream of every brave man.
"Yes, Your Highness, legend has it that the Dragon's Pit is a lair of the fiery dragon Faye Vedris. At the confluence of the canyon and the river lake, it is the only place that is not covered in ice. ”
Hearing Sir Luke's words, I had some doubts in my mind. Isn't it a fire dragon? Shouldn't you live in a volcano, why did you come to this ice and snow, this kid can't brag?
"Your Highness Arya, please step back and let me open the door to the tribe for you. ”
Seeing that I was in a daze now, the fishman with thick bangs reminded me to retreat. Then I saw Sir Lulukai and his entourage in front of me, taking off their coats and lying naked on the ice.
The cold wind was still blowing, and inexplicably I felt colder, and I tightened my coat again.
"Sir Luckai, what are you doing here?"
Except for me who couldn't read it, all the people around me had a strange expression. So, I asked.
"Arya, Your Highness, I'm preparing to break the ice. ”
"Break the ice? That's it? Why?"
"Your Highness, the skin of our fish-people is very special, and the muscle fibers are dozens of times more sensitive than humans, and they can resonate with the objects they come into contact with, destroy the structure of the ice from the inside, and never break the ice into the lake. However, due to the huge amount of energy consumed, only a very small number of fishmen can master the essentials. ”
Oh, I see... What the hell, what a mess this is, I'm really fed up with this middle two world full of neurosis.
Looking at Lu Lukai lying on the ice in front of me, I unconsciously thought of a certain fable in my previous life, and my strong curiosity made me can't help but ask.
"Sir Lu Lukai, I wonder if there is a young man named Wang Xiang among you fishmen?"
"Wang Xiang, haven't you heard of this name, my Highness, what a strange name, is it an acquaintance of His Highness?"
"No, I've only heard of it, but he has the same ice-breaking methods as you, and special fishing skills. In the distant and mysterious East, you fishmen may all be called models of filial piety!"
"I'm sorry, my Highness, but we fish-people are oviparous, so we don't know who our parents really are. However, I am still grateful for His Highness's praise. ”
I said to myself that only I could understand, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but rise, and my heart was dark, but I didn't expect to invisibly poke the sore spot of the fish man.
Looking at Lu Lu's resentful gaze, I was extremely embarrassed, and the group of leaders around me all smiled when they saw my deflated appearance, which was even more embarrassing.
Squeak ~ squeak ~ boom ~
The ice under his feet cracked one after another, and a loud roar came from the ice under Lu Lukai's feet, opening a huge gap, and several fishmen fell into the deep pit.
I was very touched to help me out of the siege, but I was still very anxious to see the fish people falling into the ice cave, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a lasso to save people.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Arya, Lu Lukai will come out in a minute. ”
A yellow-haired monk with a cigarette roll came to me, puffing clouds and mist, and looking at the ice crack in front of him with a confused look.
Turning my head, I found that the monk at this moment seemed to be a little different from usual, and the figure with the sunset on his back looked like a poet, exuding an inexplicable charm, which seemed to be the fragrance of the lilies blooming under the brokeback mountain.
Hearing the news that the young man with thick bangs was fine, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and I no longer paid attention to the inexplicable grievances and entanglements between the two.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a shouting sound to come from the ice cave.
Before I could speak, the yellow hair next to me lay on the edge of the cave like a gust of wind, put down the lasso, and pulled the person up.
"Are you alright, open?"
I've never heard such a chilling sound, and my hairs grew unconsciously, and goosebumps got on my skin.
Looking back, most of them were as disgusted as I was, and only a few were looking at the two men who were hugging each other with blessed eyes.
I closed my eyes in pain, and a deep voice kept echoing in my heart. Definitely want to kill them, there are really no perverts in my team, I really want to kill them, let them die in this winter hunt.
I really regret letting these two follow the team, obviously more than 20 days ago, they were still opponents who were still alive and dead, why should they be good like a couple now, and dare to show affection in front of the public.
Before heading out for the fishery, the damned bastards said in a stern manner that they were moved by my declaration, so the two clans decided to shake hands and make peace.
But no matter how you look at it, it's not a serious relationship, and it's okay to hug each other, why don't you separate it, and the fingers that are secretly caressed. Mama, there is a pervert, my eyes are going blind.
I looked up at the sky in despair and quietly walked over to Arroyo, who had closed his eyes.
"Uncle Arroyo, don't you think the atmosphere of the team needs to be cleaned up a little?"
"I agree with your decision, Your Highness Arya!"
"For those who break the morale of the team, I think they need to be severely punished so that others can take warning. ”
"Wise sayings. ”
"Then give me some lightning bolts to cleanse the filth in front of you, and make sure that they are remembered in body and mind. ”
"More than happy to serve you, my Highness!"
So on the clear sky and ice, a live version of the catastrophe was staged, and blue arcs and sparks bloomed on the bodies of the two masses of filth.
Looking back, sure enough, most of the people showed a relieved smile, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, my team is still normal, and the cancer should die.
Slowly, step by step, I stomped to the two smoking humanoids.
"How do you feel, have you been purified physically and mentally?"
Looking at the packaging of the two, I was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, whether this old guy Arroyo was too ruthless. It's no wonder who told them to show affection in front of the old single dog.
Suddenly, a sense of foreboding came over me, and my eyes had an uncomfortable illusion. Two black humanoids on the ground, two pairs of eyes shining at each other, hot electric sparks passed between their eyebrows.
"Lu Lukai, my brother, we have passed the test of heaven, this is God's arrangement!"
"Brother Wen Shengte, it feels good to see you in front of me again. ”
I couldn't bear it anymore, so I silently pulled out the holy sword at my waist.
"Arya's wrath!"
Behind me, Alan and Harvey grabbed the sword I was about to slash and picked me up and ran.
"Bastard, let me go and let me kill these two blind creatures!"
But when I was taken away from the scene, I could only weakly swing my sword and kick in the air.
After the farce, Lu Lukai and Wen Seng Te knelt in front of me with blue noses and swollen faces, with my masterpieces and other people's handwritings on them.
"This is what you call Houttuynia cordata?"
I held a blade of grass that resembled kelp in my hand, but it was purple-red, and my suspicious eyes kept looking at the blade of grass and Lu Lukai's face.
"It's true, my Highness! This is a specialty of our fish-people, as long as you take this houttuynia, you can give humans the ability to move freely underwater for a short time!"
Lu Lukai hurriedly explained that he had been beaten inexplicably before he had time to pretend to be forced to take out Houttuynia cordata, and he didn't dare to delay it any longer.
"You mean, if you eat this thing, you can be like you for a short time?"
I touched my chin, looked at the houttuynia in my hand, looked at the fish-man in front of me, then looked at the vast ice and snow around me, then at the thick ice and deep water, and finally at the thick fur wrapped around my body.
After three seconds, I silently nodded in agreement.
"Come on, feed this thing to the great and kind monk warriors, and let us witness the deep friendship between the Fish-Man Tribe and the Delai Alliance. ”
With a hearty smile, I took Houttuynia cordata to the pale monk who had been suppressed in the snow by Alan and Harvey.
"Your Highness, don't! I really don't, I'm going to die... Uh..."
With my hand to stop the useless struggling monk, I smiled like a virgin.
"Don't worry, child, love is with you, Sir Lulukai will always be by your side, let us cheer for the warriors of the monks. ”
Without hesitation, I shoved Houttuynia into the Yellow Knight's mouth with lightning speed, and Alan and Harvey worked together to make sure he ate it before tossing it into the ice cave.
Seeing the momentum of their concerted efforts, and the cheers of the knights behind them, I knew that this pair of really offended a lot.
Ten seconds later, the acting was online, and I was full of tears, holding my forehead with my hands, and an extremely sad expression appeared on my face.
"My knights, it seems that Vincent's attempt at the Warriors has failed. Come, let us raise the sword in our hands and mourn and cheer for the warriors of the monks!"
"Hooray!"
"Hurrah, Your Highness Arya!"
Obviously, after there is no blind existence, look, the sky is so blue, the snow is so beautiful, it seems that the waist is no longer sore, the legs are no longer painful, and the body is more energetic.
"Your Highness Arya!
I just heard the voice of a blind being, is it my hallucination?
"Your Highness Arya, help, I'm a monk, your most loyal warrior!"
Well, I've been so tired from marching lately that even hallucinations have started to pop up!
"Your Highness Arya, did you hear that? It's the voice of Brother Wen Shengte, Houttuynia cordata is real, let everyone rescue him! The time of Houttuynia cordata is over, and Brother Wen Seng Te will die. ”
Another fish-man blind creature reappeared in front of me, blocking my way out. But......
"No, Sir Lulukai, you're hallucinating, there's no cry for help, you heard it wrong, it's just the wind!"
"Did you hear the cries for help?"
"Didn't hear me!
I laughed with satisfaction when I heard the knights answer loudly in unison, and Lu Lukai cried in despair.
