Volume XVI, Chapter XVI

"Why are you here?" Karl Ivan looked at his men in amazement, but Kesh did not answer his words, and walked towards him calmly, until the two were only a few steps away, and Kesh suddenly said, "I'm here to take your life!"

Karl Ivan was taken aback, he saw that Kaish's eyes were closed, his face was as dead as ashes, there was not a trace of blood, it was not a living face at all!

Without waiting for him to understand, Kaish pounced like crazy, but he was not Karl Ivan after all, Karl Ivan swung his sword and slashed, Kaish's head was instantly cut into two pieces, but not a drop of blood flowed out of the wound, a black gas gushed out from the wound on the neck, the body exploded, and the black gas rushed straight to Karl Ivan Ivan was shocked, hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, held his breath and retreated sharply to avoid the attack of the poisonous gas, and a black iron hand suddenly pierced through the black mist and grabbed Karl Ivan in front of the door.

With a sound of "dang", Karl Ivan who blocked the opponent's blow flipped backwards, and landed lightly ten steps away, looking angrily at the black half-body monster that was holding his hands on his chest in front of Ling Yue and the king, the pitch-black shiny metal armor, the two eyes under the helmet that shimmered with dark red light, and the wide black cloak behind his back, this demon knight floating in the air was all too familiar to Karl Ivan to be familiar with, but he never thought that it would almost kill himself at a critical moment.

A woman in fiery red robes stepped over the fragments of Caish's corpse that had been scattered on the ground after the explosion and stepped out from behind the Demon Knight, her slender black magic sword in her hand and her eyebrows tightly locked. There was no trace of tenderness in the beautiful eyes, but full of hatred. As soon as Karl Ivan saw her. Immediately he burst into a rage and roared, "You slut! you should go back to your kennel if you pick up a dog's life." Dare to come here to find death!"

Si'er ignored Karl Yiwen's roar, looked back at Ling Yue, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" Ling Yue nodded, looked at the king worriedly, and said, "I'm fine, but Your Majesty has been poisoned and needs urgent treatment." Si'er looked at the king's purple face and said, "Leave it to me to deal with." She turned around and was about to walk towards Karl Ivan when Ling Yue's concerned voice came from behind her: "Is everything going well?" Si'er nodded lightly and took two steps forward. He paused hesitantly and added, "It's okay, thanks to your golden gloves." ”

She walked up to the Demon Knight, her resentful gaze shot at Karl Ivan like a breath of fire, pointed her sword at Karma Ivan and gritted her teeth, "You mad demon, how many more people do you have to do to stop? I have endured your bullying of our sisters for twenty years. When my sister and I were betrayed to you by Kash, I was only seven years old, and my sister was only five years old, and you treated our sisters like slaves. Live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs. In order to harness the magic in me, you took my sister hostage and forced me to learn the dark arts and become a necromancer! It almost broke my spirit, and I suffered every night in nightmares and horrors! If it weren't for my sister, I would have died long ago. And ......" Si'er roared angrily: "It's you who destroyed my beautiful first love." You have made me perfidy again and again, and you have ruined everything for me. Today I want you to pay with blood!"

As soon as the words fell, the demon knight floated up, and the huge devil's claws grabbed Karl Ivan fiercely, Karl Ivan slashed at the demon's wrist hard, sparks splashed everywhere, and the demon's wrist did not even leave a mark, which made Karl Ivan feel surprised, he didn't know that Si'er's mana had grown so fast, and the summoned demon knight had reached the level of inferior swords and guns, but he still didn't give up, and the giant sword slashed wildly at the demon knight's body, but everything had no effect.

"Damn!" Karl Ivan gradually sensed that something was wrong, and Si'er's presence gave him a sense of foreboding, if this woman appeared, then the elf was probably nearby, and if the elf appeared, it was likely that more helpers would come...... Thinking of this, he suddenly leaned down to dodge the Demon Knight's attack, and quickly slid under its floating body, his body was as fast as lightning, and the giant sword slashed towards Si'er.

"Since you said I destroyed everything about you, then I'll destroy you directly!" Karl Ivan laughed wildly and approached Si'er, stabbing the fatal blow. His smile suddenly froze, the blade of the sword resisted something hard, Karl Ivan looked up in surprise, Lingyue crossed the staff in front of Si'er, and a golden divine light barrier protected the two of them steadily.

Si'er released three death bone spurs in a row, and Karl Ivan dodged sideways, dodging the demon's blow with a backward roll, and rolled to the corner of the hall in embarrassment, looking at his opponent in annoyance, he had already consumed too much strength, and he felt powerless in the face of the siege.

"Hmph!" Karl Ivan suddenly laughed fiercely: "Very good, you beautiful woman, there are always men who give their lives for you! But they can save your life, but they can't save your sister's life! I can't destroy you, so I will destroy your sister and let you know what real life is better than death!" Hahahaha!"

Before the words fell, a voice came from the corridor outside the hall: "You can't destroy anyone, you can only destroy yourself!" Cal Ivan turned to the door in panic, a white light flashed in front of him, he subconsciously blocked it with his sword, a crisp impact sound came, sparks splashed everywhere, Cal Ivan slid back a few meters to stabilize his body, and the green dragon landed in front of Si'er with a beautiful backflip.

Immediately afterwards, Noo Lai and Billy Winmill burst into the hall and surrounded Karl Ivan on the left and right

"Xin'er!" One of the two girls behind Billy Winmir caused Si'er to exclaim, and the girl in the sky-blue lace dress ran to her sister with joy, and Si'er burst into tears of surprise and opened her arms to greet her sister. Unexpectedly, the ferocious Karl Ivan suddenly became angry at this time, and swung out a cross sword wave with all his strength, and the blood-red sword qi pounced on the sisters like a hungry tiger pounced, and the finger of the Lingyue Scepter formed a light barrier, but he never thought that the sword qi would penetrate through and directly slash at the sisters who had just hugged each other.

At the critical moment, Xin'er stepped forward and stood in front of her sister, opened her arms, and blocked her sister with her body. She closed her eyes tightly, smiled and calmly faced the sword qi that tore through the wind and rain.

"Xin'er!"

Si'er's heart-rending cries echoed through the hall. Everyone was surprised to find that the sword qi not only did not hurt Xin'er in the slightest. Instead, it dissipated in front of her without a trace. Si'er jumped up and hugged her sister, looked up and down carefully, Xin'er smiled and threw herself into her arms, Si'er hugged her sister tightly in her arms, tears like rain.

Karl Ivan watched in amazement at what had happened, he couldn't believe that the blow he had fought so hard had been so easily defused by this weak girl he had held hostage for twenty years. Just as he was stunned, a dark shadow suddenly floated to his side, and the short sword was like a wolf tooth that shone with cold light, slashing at his throat. Karl Ivan subconsciously raised his sword to block, his abdomen was hit hard by the other party, the giant sword flew out of his hand, and the person fell to the ground heavily, almost out of breath.

Billy Winmir, who was standing beside the green dragon, walked past Noo Li, picked up the giant sword on the ground and walked towards Karilvan, and said with resentment: "Calivan, I can't kill you in the Red Rock Hills. Look where you run this time!" the greatsword slashed at Cal Ivan as everyone watched.

A whistle from an arrow forced Billy Winmir back as he prepared to kill him, and Karl Ivan jumped from the ground and turned to run for the door on the side of the hall. The green dragon drew his bow and shot sharply, Karl Ivan screamed, and the silver arrow hit the back of the heart directly. It's a pity that the momentum of the arrow was blocked by the soft armor hidden under the cloak, and it failed to hurt the vital point.

Karl Ivan rushed to the door. A person suddenly rushed out of the door, and Qinglong shouted, "Kaede." Stop him!" Feng Ling slashed with his sword, and Karl Ivan dodged sideways, a piece of flesh and skin torn off his shoulder by the sharp blade, blood flowed and flesh blurred. Ignoring the pain, he kicked Kaede in the abdomen, causing Kaede to fall to the ground on his back, and Karl Ivan rushed out of the gate to escape.

Qinglong stepped forward and grabbed Kaede, saying "Stay and protect them!" and went to chase after Kar Ivan with Billy Winmir and Noo Lee. Kaede stood where she was, watching them disappear at the end of the corridor, looking back at the people who had remained in the hall, Ling Yue was watching the king's injuries intently, and a short girl with orange double ponytails stood beside Si'er and Xin'er, looking at the sisters who were hugging each other. Kaede inadvertently came into contact with Si'er's gaze, and the reproach in her eyes made him feel a chill, but she immediately turned her head to her sister and stopped looking at him.

The three men soon returned, they did not catch Karilvan, he knocked down several soldiers, rushed out of the palace, rode the griffon that had been prepared and fled, the three of them could only stand in front of the palace and look at the sky and sigh, but the green dragon left a second arrow on him, which pierced his palm.

The Paladins and reinforcements sealed off the palace, wiping out the Shadow Knights brought by Cal Ivan to the ground. A group of soldiers walked into the hall, and Ling Yue quietly watched as they carried the bodies of the paladins scattered everywhere out of the hall, and they would be buried with the highest courtesy by Ling Yue herself.

"How is Your Majesty?" Qinglong walked to Ling Yue's side and glanced at the unconscious king, Ling Yue shook her head in frustration: "The poison in Your Majesty is complicated, I'm afraid I can't completely eliminate it, I can only reduce the toxicity as much as possible, but the final result, I can't say ......" There was silence for a while, everyone knew what it meant.

After a brief silence, Qinglong spoke first: "Everyone, although we have temporarily repelled Karilvan, he will definitely make a comeback. This time, he couldn't make a plan, and according to the information Si'er provided before, he would definitely turn to the magic stone. In this case, his target must be the Duke, so I will go and join the Duke as soon as possible. Lingyue, please send a message to the leaders of the tribes, and ask their army to assemble at the border of the Dragon Wasteland, ready to respond. Kaede, you have to be careful with the security of the palace, Karl Ivan or his men are likely to come again, so be vigilant. In addition, please assemble your army, and after receiving the reply from the Dwarven King agreeing to send troops, lead your army to the border between the Dwarven Territory and the Dragon Wasteland to join the Dwarven army, and ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

Ling Yue and Feng agreed one by one, but Ling Yue asked a question: "Our war with the elves has just ended, although the two sides have not really used force, but will they be willing to send troops?" Qinglong smiled and took out a letter and handed it to Ling Yue: "Don't worry, I have a letter here, and the elf king will not send troops when he sees it." Ling Yue nodded and accepted the letter, and the worry in her expression seemed to be reduced a little.

Qinglong turned around and asked about the situation of the two ranger companions, and Noo Li spoke first: "I will continue to instruct my subordinates to keep track of the traces of Karl Ivan and the Shadow Knights, and I will send someone to report to the chief priest if there is news." Respond in a timely manner. He and Ling Yue glanced at each other and nodded.

"Winmill. How's your Knights?" Billy Winmill immediately replied to the Blue Dragon's inquiry, "I've been contacted. Originally, I planned to wait for all the knights to assemble and return together, but I accidentally met His Royal Highness Yueying on the way, and learned the news that Xin'er was imprisoned in the Red Rock Hills. I'll reunite with the group and reorganize the Wyverns. ”

"Against Cal Ivan the Wyverns are crucial. This time he escaped, because he had air supremacy. We can't reach it. Therefore, we need to have a strong force against him. Qinglong's solemn entrustment made Billy Winmir's usual confident smile appear on his face: "Don't worry, I will definitely take back the air supremacy!"

Speaking of this, Si'er suddenly knelt down in front of everyone, and said gratefully: "I have brought so many disasters to you, but you have never blamed me, not only saved my life, but also rescued Xin'er. The crowd hurriedly helped them up.

"Don't be like this, we are all very happy to see your sisters reunited and out of the sea of suffering. Qinglong said a few words of consolation. He glanced back at Billy Winmir and said to Si'er, "Actually, it was Winmir who rescued Xin'er." ”

Si'er turned to Billy Winmill and bowed down again. Billy Winmir hurriedly held him up, and said with some shame, "Actually." It wasn't my credit for rescuing Xin'er, even I fell for Karl Ivin's tricks at that time. Almost killed, thanks to the timely rescue of Her Royal Highness Yueying, we were able to get out of the tiger's mouth. As he spoke, he called the orange-haired girl who had been standing quietly next to him to his side and introduced to everyone: "Let me introduce to you, this is Her Royal Highness Princess Yueying, the youngest daughter of His Majesty the Dwarf King Lakin." ”

"Hello everyone, I'm Yueying, my father is the well-known Majesty Larkin who likes to blow his beard and stare at him, and the only person in this world who doesn't dare to be violent is none other than me, so if you have anything to sue, you can tell me, I will help you declare your personal vendetta!"

Looking at the little dwarf princess in front of her who had a pair of big eyes and was not yet petite, and heard her generous, kind and unbearable words, the solemn atmosphere of the scene was broken, and people were full of admiration for this outspoken and humorous little princess, and sighed that the old man Larkin could give birth to such a clever and lovely daughter.

Si'er, who broke into tears and smiled, took Yueying's hand and thanked her again and again, the dwarf girl smiled like a flower, waved her hand and said: "Miss Si'er, you don't have to be polite, I learned about Xin'er's sister for a long time, but my father has not allowed me to interfere, so I didn't find a helper to save her, thanks to Billy's arrival, I have the opportunity to rescue Xin'er, and I have a wish!" Winmir blinked, the latter's body looked tall and muscular against her backdrop, and the tacit smile on his face was seen by the others present, and they all tacitly agreed with each other.

"Alright, time is pressing, I'll set off to chase the Duke now, everyone be careful!" Seeing that everything was arranged, Qinglong said goodbye to everyone and left the palace with Noo Li, who would go to the Thieves' Guild's stronghold in the royal city to arrange the rest of the action. As soon as the two of them walked to the gate, a call suddenly came from behind them: "Qinglong!" The two turned around, only to see Si'er walking up to Qinglong with great hesitation, and stopped talking. Qinglong lowered his head and put his face close to her, and asked softly, "Is there something wrong?"

"I, won't you take me with you?" Si'er suppressed the apprehension in her heart, and mustered up the courage to look directly into Qinglong's eyes, but Qinglong replied unusually calmly: "My journey here is bumpy, difficult and dangerous, you and your sister have just reunited, I don't want you to suffer from wind and frost, you still stay, we will meet soon." ”

Si'er lowered her head in disappointment, Qinglong faintly saw a little tear hanging in the corner of her eye, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to turn a blind eye, turned around and walked out of the hall with Nuo Li. The moment he walked out of the hall, he couldn't help but glance back, Si'er's lonely eyes made his heart sour, and he involuntarily walked back.

"Qinglong ......" Si'er thought that he had changed his mind and looked at him expectantly.

Qinglong didn't speak, one hand gently pressed her shoulder, the other hand held her white and tender cheek, and kissed her lightly on her eyebrows, she heard him whisper: "I'm sorry, Si'er, take care of yourself, goodbye." With that, he forced himself not to look at Si'er's tearful eyes, and turned to leave the hall with Noo Li.

"Perhaps, separating while still in love is the best ending......" As they walked out of the hall, Qinglong sighed secretly in his heart, with a little tear in the corner of his eye.

When saying goodbye at the gate of the palace, Qinglong told Nuo Li: "You have to be more careful, Karl Ivan is now a mad dog who has been forced to do anything, he sent someone to intercept you halfway last time to lobby, and persuade you to assassinate you with a fake Ting Xue, which means that you have become a thorn in his heart, and he is likely to attack you in the next step, you have to be more careful!" Li nodded in agreement, remembering the mysterious man who rescued him from Karl Ivan from the siege of the assassins on the eve of dawn, and the feather that fluttered from the white wings was always a mystery that he could not solve in his heart.

After parting with Noo Li, Qinglong walked through the bustling streets, watching the people who knew nothing about what was happening in the palace, busy with life as usual, and his heart was full of emotion, and he felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

"Sister, that dress is so beautiful!" Near the city gate, Qinglong was attracted by a pair of sisters beside him, they were standing at the door of a tailor's shop, the younger sister looked at a beautiful skirt in the shop with longing, gently shaking her sister's hand, the sister stood there hesitating, her sister's request made her very difficult, she wanted to satisfy her sister, but she was not capable.

Qinglong looked at the sisters quietly, their age is not very old, the elder sister is at most fourteen or fifteen years old, the younger sister looks less than ten years old, they are in rags, but they are dressed quite neatly, Qinglong can't help but think of the Si'er sisters, his heart moved, walked to the sisters and asked, "Do you want to wear beautiful clothes?"

The little sister turned her head to look at him when she heard the voice, she was still young, and she didn't have the concept of race in her heart, she just nodded vigorously, and her sister recognized an elf in front of her, which made her a little frightened, and she couldn't help but take a step back, and pulled her sister behind her in awe. (To be continued......)
