Chapter 52: Destruction of Corpses and Traces of Destruction
"Iroh, I don't understand. โ
Bella took as deep a breath as she could, turned her head, and stared at the unhurried teenager.
"Why did you do such a thing? If I became queen, I would definitely be more effective than this guy you don't know where to find it!
"Your Highness Princess," Iroh's voice was still polite, "you are indeed very talented...... However, you also understand that the focus of cooperation should never be just that standard. โ
"You!"
Bella was momentarily angry, and of course she could hear what Iroh meant. Because she is too smart, once she becomes the queen, she will inevitably pose a threat to Iroh.
So Elohor would rather have a mediocre but more controllable king.
"Then how did you get that guy to cheat on the Inheritance Ritual?"
Bella looked at Vess, who had turned into a human form, and then at the mage standing behind him whispering a spell, and the look of incredulity on her face was even more incredible, "Magic, or potions?"
"Don't hide it from Her Royal Highness Princess, we have some accumulation in both aspects. But truth is our most powerful weapon. โ
In each of these answers, Iroh gave ambiguous answers, not because he liked to play tricks, but because he was not sure that Bella really had no power to resist. In case she uses some method that she doesn't know, she will record it and publish it...... Since then, I have had trouble myself.
"Then you're going to have to let me die. โ
Bella finally showed a look of resignation, staring at Iroh as if she had lost her soul, "One last question: how did you break our contract?"
This question is naturally expected, the two sides had an agreement that in order to successfully form an alliance, Elloh cannot hurt Bella, and Bella cannot betray Ello. Naturally, Bella, who has the great magician Estelle by her side, has been secretly collecting the materials needed to break the contract for the past few years, and finally succeeded in unilaterally canceling the contract three months ago.
However, in order to paralyze Iroh, she still pretended not to break the contract, and did not set up any means against Iroh - at least on the surface.
Now it seems that Iroh has also unilaterally terminated the contract. It's just that Bella can't figure out, when and how he was lifted?
You know, the reason why contracts are widely used in the world of Elohim is because it can guarantee the fulfillment of promises. If the contract could be terminated casually, there would be no one in this world to rely on it for a long time!
Even if you are a princess and have the assistance of a great magician by her side, Bella has spent five years before and after to remove it. She didn't believe that Iroh, as a dragon with no background, could find a way and resources to crack it in five years!
"Ah, I'm sorry. โ
Eloh snorted, but this smile seemed demonic to Bella, "As for me, I just like to let my opponent die in vain. โ
"Iroh!"
In the face of Bella's angry rebuke, Iroh did not react at all. Of course, it is impossible for him to say that he has a faith exchange contract and has already spent a faith point to break the covenant, and that sentence just now is also true.
Although he doesn't deny that he likes to play with his enemies, isn't it part of the play to let his opponent die without knowing it?
"You shamelessโ"
Bella's chest rose and fell rapidly, and she took a few steps forward, as if to vent her anger, as if she was making a final struggle.
However, the next moment, her shadow suddenly shook slightly, and a human figure suddenly jumped up from the shadow and flew towards Iro, a cold and shining blade was already unsheathed!
Come to think of it, Bella is a royal princess, even if she is weak, how can her cronies only be Nick and Estelle?
In fact, the female killer who pounced on Elo at this moment was her last reliance!
"Go ahead, Villet!"
Bella let out a fiery cry towards her shadow warrior.
Yes, Welllight is a person, but she gave up everything she had at a very young age, and was willing to turn into Bella's shadow and silently protect her. And it is precisely because of the existence of Villerite that Bella was able to successfully use this identity to join the Flame Squad in the first place.
And now, Bella, who knows that she has no means to fight back other than Willett, pins her last hope on this shadow warrior.
Even she can't kill Iroh, as long as she can buy herself time and get the attention of Estelle and Nick......
With the strength of the two of them, it's still no problem to take yourself out of the royal capital!
Although the years of accumulation will be in vain, it is better than losing all the games.
It's just that before this thought was finished, Bella was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
"Well, it looks like the manic kitten needs a cage. โ
Iroh walked around Villerit unhurriedly and walked over to Bella with a smile. Behind him, the Shadow Warrior, who had already been sharpened out of the sheath, was trapped in mid-air by a force at this moment, and he couldn't move!
Just as Bella didn't give up at the last minute, so did Iroh not give up his guard even when it was time to see him win big. When Bella was talking just now, he could tell that the other party was trying to numb himself to buy time, but why wasn't he secretly accumulating magic?
And the reason why I chose the magic of the power cage is also very simple. If Bella wants to turn the tables on this situation, she will either defeat herself or run away. To do this, the mage certainly couldn'tโbecause it would take a while to cast a spell, and Iroh didn't believe Bella would be foolish enough to think he could give her enough time.
Of course, this period can be shortened, but only if the caster is strong, such as Noelle's level.
And what level is Noele?
As an adult dragon, it can be said that his cultivation in magic has surpassed that of some legendary powerhouses!
And Estelle, the strongest magician in the Falkenridge Kingdom, is only infinitely close to the legend, and Iroh is still sure to kill him before he finishes casting the spell.
So the only thing Bella can choose is a master of strength or agility.
And whether it is strength or agility, they are destined to do nothing under the cage of power!
"And our little princess seems to need something more. โ
Iro, who walked in front of Bella, still bowed slightly with that elegant smile, "Can I have this honor to invite you, Your Highness the Princess?"
โ......โ
Bella laughed miserably and closed her eyes. She was really cornered.
A second later, she felt something warm against her lips.
Such...... It's good.
Realizing what was happening, she turned the last thought in her mind, and she responded with some greed, and then darkness descended.
"It seems that your guess is correct. โ
Ello's smile remained the same, he stared at the dead Princess Bella, and touched his lips again, "Not only blood, but also my body fluids are highly poisonous......
What seemed like a tender kiss just now was the killer who took Bella's life - as Iroh said, his saliva also contained deadly toxins, so Bella died painless in an instant.
"Temple...... Next ......"
In the cage not far away, the Shadow Warrior Willett, who had witnessed the death of her allegiance, let out a hoarse call - it was obvious that her vocal cords had been severely damaged due to the need for secrecy, and the little sound she made at this moment was already the result of the exhaustion of her nervous shock.
"Oh, I'm going to get you on your way. โ
Eloh's expression remained unchanged, and he instantly transformed into the form of a dragon, and a breath of flame killed her.
"Well, it's baked. His wings flapped, and he removed the force cage and sent the mixture of flesh and char into his mouth.
Cooked food does taste bad. As he swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth, Iroh said so in his heart.
In Iroh's plan, after Vess's inheritance ceremony is over, there must be no trace of Princess Bella's existence in the temple. It is said that the most effective way to destroy the corpse is Noelle's space magic, because as long as you open an interdimensional passage full of space-time turbulence, no one can find the corpse.
However, now Noela is the most wanted target on the metal dragon's side, and now he uses soul shielding magic, which is not a talent of the silver dragon, and he needs to cover his aura with all his might, let alone use the power of space......
So I had to work hard and dispose of the corpse.
Sure enough, it's still raw meat that is more worth looking forward to.
With that in mind, Iroh looked at Bella's body.
This woman, who has become more and more beautiful with age, has maintained the noble temperament of the royal family even after death, and looks ...... It's delicious.
That's right, if Iroh were human, he might have some pity for the princess's body. However, for a dragon, a person is a pile of fresh meat that does not move when he dies - by the way, for colored dragons, a person who is not dead is a pile of fresh meat that moves.
Licking the corners of her mouth slightly, Arlo unceremoniously opened her mouth wide, curled Bella's corpse in her mouth with her tongue, and sent her to reunite with the Shadow Warrior with a few casual chews.
It's not that Iroh doesn't want to fully enjoy the taste of human flesh, but because of the clues to destruction: he knows that humans have magic that can recreate the life of their victims from their bodies, and even from their blood. Some spells can be used to summon the spirits of the dead, allowing the dead to tell what happened.
To prevent this from happening, Iroh had to make sure that the corpse was completely in his stomach - not a single piece of flesh, not a drop of blood, not a single hair, or a little remnant of clothing.
If he coveted the taste of human flesh, Eloco couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be careless by his instincts, causing the remnants of the corpse to fall out of his mouth. As mentioned above, even a small fragment of a corpse could pose a danger to Iroh's plans.
So he chose to stuff the two corpses into his stomach as quickly as possible, and the rest of the matter was naturally taken care of by the dragon's strong digestive system, and he only needed to focus on the affairs of the inheritance temple.
