Chapter 362: The Price of the Transaction
"His Royal Highness the Great Prince...... I lingered in the main hall of the palace for a long time last night, and my behavior was extremely suspicious, I suspect ......," said the head of the palace guard.
Eric's brows couldn't help frowning, the main hall of the palace is the seat of the kingdom's affairs, even if it is not usually opened, Nordin has nothing to do when he comes to the main hall in the middle of the night. Eric slowly got up, his body had begun to gradually elementalize over the years, and if nothing else, his lifespan would be endless. So, he never thought about succession or anything like that. The dispute between the two princes was just a means he used to check and balance the court.
"He came with your seal, and we dare not ask about it. But afterwards I felt a little suspicious, I heard that he lingered in front of the throne for a long time, maybe ...... "The palace guard is obviously more inclined to the second prince, so I want to direct Eric's thoughts in the direction of Nordin's plot for the throne."
"It......'s been a long time on the throne," Eric couldn't help but be surprised. Although many people in the Kingdom of Gangtua knew that their king could control a giant through a single gem, they never knew that Hilda existed, let alone that there was actually a larger secret hidden beneath the palace.
Eric quickly got up and hurried to the main hall, the leader of the palace guards, who thought he had succeeded in provoking, hurriedly followed behind, with an unconcealable joy on his face.
Before the "boom" ...... arrived at the main hall, Eric heard a roar from there, and he didn't care about hiding his strength. Eric rushed towards the main hall at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, but stopped in front of the long stone steps.
On the stairs, a decadent and familiar figure stood out, and Aaronwen's eyes were full of resentment, waiting for Eric to come to the door like a hunting viper.
"Despicable traitor, what a coincidence to meet here!" Aaron pursed his lips, his voice hoarse from not speaking for a long time, like countless stones rubbing against him.
"Aaron, where's my son?" Eric also knew more or less what was going on at this time, it must have been the eldest prince Nordin who had stolen into the secret room at some point and was bewitched by Aaron.
"That little fool, he's a lot better communicator than you, and I'll take good care of her. The premise is ...... Your life and the Falstone!" Aaron said slowly, and before he could finish speaking, he turned into a giant eagle and soared into the air, turning into a huge grizzly bear in mid-air, and slamming it down on Eric.
"I can't help myself!" Hilda's shadow appeared behind Eric, and more than ten years later, the souls of the two people had already mixed with each other, making Eric's voice seem to overlap with each other.
"Roar......" the bear let out a terrible scream, and Eric held a spear of light in his hand, and the spear pierced the giant bear, and the menacing attack of the giant bear did not cause any damage to the opponent, but caused himself a lot of damage.
The giant bear trembled and turned into an Aaron Moon, and a cloud of dark green energy emitted from his hand, which was directly protected by Eric's condensation of a light shield. Aaronwen retreated from the spear with the help of the force of the shock, but the wound torn by the tip of the spear still condensed a cloud of light elemental energy that did not dissipate, making a corrosive sound with his elementalized body.
"You...... Hilda...... What kind of monster have you become!" Aaron looked at the twin soul symbiote in front of him in surprise, he had just escaped from the seal, he thought that he could easily solve Eric with his own ability, but he never expected to meet this scene in front of him.
"Monster ......" Eric smiled maniacally, waving the light spear in his hand, looking at Aaron's expression like a dead man.
Radiant with a radiant light, Brionark's spear, which was like the thunderbolt of the Danu god, was thrown out by Eric, and the spear split into five streamers in mid-air, like a large open hand, and covered Aaron. Bombardment of five stars, this is the biggest killer move of the thunder gun, but it seems to be easy in Eric's hands.
Aaronwen's face showed a sad color, and he didn't even dare to say a cruel word before he rose into the air, turning into a giant eagle and trying to escape from Gangtua. The five spear shadows are like maggots on tarsal bones and have been biting Aaronwen's figure tightly, which is not only a legendary must-hit attribute, but also an attack method that directly locks the divine soul.
Aaron waved his wings in the air continuously, emitting several purple electric lights, shooting down the gun shadows one by one, but it seemed to involve a wound in the chest, and with a careless move, the right wing was nailed with a light gun. He didn't dare to linger any longer, his arms flashed with blood-colored brilliance, and the speed of his flight increased suddenly, flying far towards the position north of Gangtua. As his figure grew faster and faster, it seemed as if it was slowly melting into the air and disappearing.
Eric just wanted to chase but was dissuaded by Hilda: "It's useless, the druids are desperate tricks, and it is their own souls that burn." He'll go straight into the Void for a random transfer, and we won't be able to catch up with him!"
"No, this scourge must not be left behind!" Eric looked at Aaron's back, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart, and then he turned his head and shouted at the gradually gathering palace guards: "Edict the whole country, pursue Aaronwen!"
Aaron stumbled in the air, with two horrible wounds on his chest and right arm, and he fell to the ground, looking back at the city of Gangtua behind him, his heart full of unwillingness. Forcibly holding back the anger in his heart, Aaronwen's feet began to spread out countless filamentous roots, and his entire body became lignified. It didn't take long for an ordinary small tree to appear in the field.
Eric retired from all the guards and went to the palace hall alone. The original throne had been swept aside, leaving behind a deep cavern with countless rays of light forming a spiral staircase that descended in turn. It seems that this is the correct way to enter the secret room, and the way Dawn jumps directly from the height is somewhat reckless.
Eric looked coldly at the eldest prince Nordin who fell to the ground unconscious, and the fierceness in his eyes turned into a sigh after struggling for a long time. Pick up the crown that has fallen to the ground, hold Nordin in one hand, and leave the palace hall again.
"Shut him up, and let nothing that has happened in the palace today be leaked. Otherwise......" Eric looked coldly at the palace guards beside him, "Clan punishment!"
As the crowd dispersed, Eric had mixed feelings, he never thought that the problem would be with his son.
"Do you think you can find a druid with the power of those mortals?" quipped Hilda, "besides, there are still many people in your country who still worship this former great sage!"
"I have ordered the army to be assembled, and with Aaronwen's heart, he will definitely go to the Giant Tribe of Fermor for help. Eric said lightly, "My father's feud should also be settled, how about you help me again?"
"And what price are you prepared to pay?" said Hilda, after a long time.
"This body, I know, you've hated this coexistence for a long time. But our souls are entangled, and you can't destroy me unless I'm willing to quit myself!" Eric seemed to say something that had nothing to do with him.
