Volume XVI, Chapter 22
"Huh?" Karl Yiwen looked back at Kaede in displeasure, the eyes of the gloomy owl were full of doubt, Kaede shuddered when he saw his eyes, he fixed his mind, and said carefully: "Your Highness, please don't execute her first, I have an idea......" He looked up at the prince cautiously, the prince stared at his face quietly, Kaede bypassed Si'er, walked to Karl Yiwen's side, bent down beside him and whispered: " The subordinates brought her back, not only to help His Highness avenge, but also to help His Highness get something useful out of her mouth. Kaish is dead, and I have taken this woman hostage, and the chief priest must have become suspicious of me, and I am afraid that I will no longer be able to respond to His Highness. Without internal response, we will no longer be able to steal information from the enemy. This woman has been very close to the High Priest lately, and she must know a lot of information, and if we can get something useful out of her, we can know ourselves, and we can keep her as a hostage, so that we can blackmail the High Priest and the elf, even for the sake of her sister, and the elf will not let her die. ”
Karl Ivan bowed slightly in approval as he listened, the expression on his face seemed to indicate that he appreciated the plan. After Feng finished speaking, he glanced down at Si'er who was lying on the ground, and his sly gaze swept over Feng's face, pondering for a long time, and asked slowly: "Is this your own idea?" Feng hesitated slightly, and replied sincerely: "Yes, this is specially designed by me, in order to help His Highness avenge!"
Karl Ivan swept his gaze over Kaede's resolute face, as if reading his thoughts. He rolled his eyes and smiled with a pleasant face: "Very good." You have shown your loyalty by saving my life in a critical moment, and now you are planning to avenge me. It shows your wisdom, I really didn't see the wrong person!"
His Royal Highness Xie complimented. Kaede must be even more dedicated to repaying His Highness's kindness!" Kaede knelt down on one knee with great gratitude, and Karl Ivan waved his hand lightly and said, "I said a long time ago, you and I don't have to be like this, since you have already figured out a way, then I will hand her over to you, you go and ask her now, see what she has to say." He had a kind smile on his face that could make anyone feel very kind. Kaede felt the same way for a while. But somehow, now he has read a little insidious and cunning from it, and the sinister smile on his face hidden under intimacy is gradually exposed to Feng's eyes that have long been awakened by Si'er, Feng Ling feels that he is about to go crazy, and he asks himself again and again in his heart, how can he follow such a person for twelve years, and still obey him like his own father!
Perhaps it was to see that Kaede's mood was not right, in order to prevent Karl Ivan from noticing his abnormal behavior. Si'er suddenly struggled to pounce on him, hitting his head on his knee, and Feng, who was immersed in thoughts, was hit by her sudden impact and lost her center of gravity, and sat down on the ground backwards. He looked at Si'er's anxious eyes in astonishment, and suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip, and immediately reacted. Without waiting for Karl Ewen and the shadow knights around him to make a move, he took the lead in pounceing and choking Si'er's neck. Knock her to the ground, holding her shoulders tightly. His eyes stared at her unruly face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Slut, you'd better be obedient to me, and stop struggling meaninglessly, so that you can suffer less, understand?" Si'er looked at his resentful face, and for a moment almost thought that he was saying what was in his heart, but she quickly understood that he was just venting his resentment against Karl Yiwen in such a disguise, and she couldn't help but secretly praise in her heart.
"Oh, no, no, no, don't!" Karl Ivan, who had been calmly observing them, seemed to be watching the two heroes and heroines perform a play, and he was the director of the play. He stopped the overly excited "male protagonist" in a soft voice, and pointed at him with a smile: "Don't be so rude to our beautiful young lady, if you want her to give her heart to you willingly, you have to be gentle with her!" Kaede looked back at the treacherous smile on his face and nodded in understanding. He groaned slightly, reached out and gently combed Si'er's messy hair, and persuaded softly: "Miss Si'er, why do you have to be so uncooperative? If you betrayed His Highness before because you were emotionally deceived by Qinglong, then now you should see through his essence, elves are untrustworthy, aren't they? And Lingyue, he is just using you, do you really think that his care for you is out of love? Don't forget, he is the chief priest and a priest, and he can't marry you!" He knows that he can't give you anything, and he can't be responsible for you at all, but he still keeps being courteous to you, just to get more information out of your mouth! When you have nothing, he will abandon you, like the green dragon kidnapping your sister, they are all using you, only His Highness will really let you get benefits, don't you understand?"
At this moment, maybe Feng himself didn't understand, how could he be so angry and say such a set of justification-sounding arguments, Si'er and Karl Yiwen both looked at him in surprise, Feng Ling, who was originally clumsy in their hearts, seemed to be sharp in their teeth all of a sudden. Hearing his words, Si'er lowered her head silently, applauding Feng's righteous and strict persuasion in her heart, but tears couldn't help but fall in her eyes, her red lips bit lightly, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain made everyone around her feel that Feng's words obviously touched the grievances buried in her heart, and even Karl Yiwen felt that maybe Si'er would really change her mind and explain some useful information.
"Come on, tell us something, I believe that as long as you are willing to bear the guilt and make meritorious contributions, Your Highness will be magnanimous and will definitely forgive you. Feng helped Si'er up from the ground, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, Si'er looked at him, and then at Karl Yiwen, the prince's expression was gentle, and it seemed that there was no hostility, but Si'er understood that he was just cooperating with Kaede's "lie".
"Well, I can tell you everything I know, but ......" Si'er hesitated to glance at the shadow knights around her, and Calil made a look at the shadow knights around him, and the shadow knights stepped back together, closing the door and leaving only three people in the room.
"Tell me everything you know!"
Si'er took a deep breath. As if to dispel the residual guilt in his heart, he whispered, "Your Highness." You've got two cronies on Duke Huntle's side, but you probably don't know that, do you? In fact, there has always been an inside line of the High Priest of Lingyue!"
Si'er's revelation surprised Carl Yiwen, he sat up straight in disbelief, frowned and moved his face closer to her, and asked in a deep voice, "What you said is true?" Si'er nodded firmly, Karl Yiwen's eyes rolled, and asked, "Do you know who it is?" Si'er lowered her head and was silent for a while, then raised her head again, and did not say her name, but asked him: "Your Highness." If I say it, will you spare my life?"
"Of course, Kaede has already said just now, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I can not blame the past!" Karl Ivan said in a pretended magnanimous voice. Feng also helped persuade on the side, Si'er hesitated again and again, and said to Feng: "In my shoes, there is an inside list sent by the High Priest of Lingyue, when you kidnapped me in his study. I was being commissioned by him to go to his study to help him get some papers, but I stumbled upon this in his cupboard, and when you rushed in, I hid it in your shoes while you weren't looking. She said. Reaching for Kaede, Kaede looked down at her feet in small red embroidered shoes, and reached out to take off her shoes. A palm-sized piece of parchment appeared next to her delicate little feet, and he picked it up. Put on Si'er's shoes, get up and hand the note to Karl Ivan .
Karl Ivan took the note. Just as he was about to dismantle it, the door of the house suddenly opened, and a shadow knight rushed in from the outside, and announced in a loud voice: "Your Highness, the enemy has been found in the back mountain! It seems that it is the leader of the Wyvern Knight and the dwarven princess who escaped a few days ago." ”
Karl Yiwen suddenly became upset when he heard this, and sneered: "The people who killed me a few days ago have nowhere to look for them, and they dare to come to send them to death!" He didn't care about it, put the note on his body first, strode to the door, and suddenly stopped and turned back to Feng and said, "Take good care of Miss Si'er, wait for me to come back!" After speaking, he glanced at Si'er and strode out of the door.
Kaede and Si'er glanced at each other, their eyes were full of contradictions, the original plan was to take advantage of Karl Evan's look at the forged list, the two of them joined forces to kill him, Kaede had quietly untied the knot on Si'er's wrist when she put on her shoes, and Billy Winmir and Yueying should rescue the members of the Wyvern Knights according to the plan, but they didn't expect their early exposure to disrupt the original plan, since the assassination could not be successful, the only way was to cooperate with Billy Winmir and work together to kill Cal Evan!
"You bring someone to stay and keep an eye on Feng Ling, if he has any abnormalities, kill him immediately!" Carl Ivan who went out beckoned to the leader beside him and whispered an order, the leader looked at him in surprise, deeply puzzled by his order, but Carl Ivan explained that he immediately understood the deep meaning: "Maple is a very loyal person, he never conspires and tricks, this time he actually came up with a trick to plot against others, and he said such a statement cleverly, I am afraid that he came prepared!"
"Since Your Highness has seen through them, why don't you just kill them?"
"Si'er's slut can't die yet, the information she gave me hasn't been identified yet, maybe I can get more information from her, and Feng is right, you can use her to blackmail the elf and the people around him if necessary! You don't have to worry about her, that slut can't cast spells without a magic sword in her hand, she can't turn the sky! As for Feng Ling, that kid's identity is likely to have really been exposed, and it is more likely that he has been bought by the High Priest of Lingyue. But I can't kill him in front of that slut right now, or I won't be able to get anything out of her mouth. Keep an eye on him first, and if he doesn't behave out of the ordinary, don't act rashly, but if you find out that he is trying to disadvantage me, you will be killed!" the leader agreed, and turned back to the cabin. Karl Ivan sent another leader to contact the Shadow Knights patrolling the surrounding area, and quickly go to the scene of the incident to round up Billy Winmir and Yueying, and make sure that the two of them did not escape.
Karl Ivan left in a hurry, and the leader who was in charge of taking people to monitor Feng Ling and Si'er quickly returned to the wooden house, and as soon as he reached the door, he saw several shadow knights eavesdropping at the door, he stepped forward to drive them away, frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing special, but it seems that the relationship between Kaede and Si'er's chick is extraordinary!" replied a shadow knight with a wicked smile. The leader was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "How do you know?"
"Listen, it's a love story!"
The leader stepped forward, put his ear to the door, and was full of confusion when he heard the words inside, "Thank you for everything you have done for me." If it weren't for you, I might have died!" he heard Si'er's voice. The tone is delicate, as if he is speaking to his lover. Immediately afterwards, Feng Ling's voice came: "Don't say that, it's best if you can be safe and sound, I believe that Your Highness will definitely forgive you, and when Your Highness is done in the future, the two of us can enjoy the glory and wealth together!"
"So that's really the case!" the leader sneered secretly, but he also felt a trace of jealousy, after all, Si'er was a famous beauty around Karl Ivan and because the prince was not a daughter. She is still a virgin, and the men under Carl Ivan all covet her, but they are afraid that the prince has not allowed it, so they dare not show it, but they look forward to the day when Karl Ivan will no longer need her, and can reward her to them, but he didn't expect to be snatched by Feng Ling, a dumb boy like an elm pimple, and he was jealous in his heart.
"It's better to take the opportunity to kill this kid directly. Then take the chick and enjoy it, and turn back to His Highness and tell His Highness that he has a bad plan, anyway, His Highness has already suspected him, and has given an order to kill him!" The leader turned his heart on the side and falsely passed on Karl Ivin's order to let them go in with him and kill Feng Ling. A few guys didn't know it, and they believed it. They drew their blades and followed him.
The leader kicked open the gate with a flying foot, pointing at the sword in his hand. Heng Mei shouted coldly: "Brother Feng Ling, you have done a good thing!" Before the words fell, the white light flashed, and a bone spike instantly pierced the center of the leader's eyebrows, and several shadow knights behind him did not have time to react, "Bang" With a bang, the corpse of the leader burst open, and the powerful black magic blew up the flesh and blood of several people around them, and they collapsed to the ground, the red slender figure flashed out of the wooden house quickly, and a black evil aura spread out from the black magic sword, and several seriously injured shadow knights let out one after another screams, like dried fish after being exposed to the scorching sun, the skin on the face was shriveled and folded into hideous grimaces, and the eyes were deeply sunken, and they were instantly turned into dry corpses all over the ground.
Feng Ling walked out of the wooden house and stood behind Si'er looking at the dried corpses and the broken flesh from the explosion all over the ground, with a frightened face. Just now, he and Si'er already knew that there must be a watchman outside the door, so they deliberately staged such a scene to distract their attention, but in fact, Feng quickly took off the armor on his upper body, took out the slender magic sword hidden on the back of the armor and handed it to Si'er, ready to launch a surprise attack. Although Kaede knew Si'er's identity as a necromancer in advance, he never imagined that Si'er's magic would be so terrifying that it made him creepy.
"Think I'm ...... It's scary, isn't it?"
Kaede nodded silently, he did feel terrible, even more terrifying than Karl Ivan did. His gaze swept over the hideous, withered corpse on the ground, just a few minutes ago, they had tried to commit murder with jealousy and lust, but just a minute later, they were all drained of blood by the black magic she cast, and they became a shocking dried corpse, if it wasn't for seeing it with her own eyes, Kaede would never have associated such a scene with the elegant and charming woman in front of her.
"I also think I'm terrible......" Si'er stepped lightly over the corpse on the ground, looked down at the black magic sword in her hand, and sighed softly, "Since I was used to using black magic, I often felt that I was not human at all. Kaede couldn't help but look at her, his gaze swept over the magic sword, the body of the sword was only the thickness of an adult's middle finger, the head and tail were sharp and sharp, it looked like a short sword and the handle of a dagger were put together, and the black body made it exude a strange and mysterious aura, just like its owner, beautiful and terrifying.
"Let's go, we should go and join up with Billy Winmir and the others, and work together to kill Karl Ivany!" Si'er's tone made Kaede feel that this woman was so fickle, she was still lying in front of Karl Ivan with tears in her eyes, weak as a lamb, but now her tone was tough like a professional killer.
"Draw your sword, Mr. Paladin, we don't have time to delay. After Si'er finished speaking, she walked quickly to the door, Feng pulled out the holy sword at her waist and followed closely, just two steps, Si'er suddenly screamed, and fell to the ground in pain, holding the ground with both hands, sweating like rain.
"Si'er!" Feng stepped forward to support her, Si'er was in pain, and collapsed in Kaede's arms weakly, Kaede noticed that her lips were blue, the nails of her fingers turned black, and even her face began to turn purple. He hurriedly carried Si'er into the house, and looked cautiously outside, where Karl Ivin's men had followed him to capture Billy Winmill. There was not a single person around. He closed the door and lay her flat on the floor. He knelt beside her, closing his eyes and recalling the spell Ling Yue had taught him as he left. A soft chant came out, but nothing happened.
"Damn, my mana is not enough to release such magic!" Feng looked at Si'er anxiously, helplessly watching the increasingly thick black qi on her face, and suddenly had an idea, picked up Si'er and hugged her tightly in his arms, closed his eyes and recited a spell, activating his 'divine armor', and soon. Kaede's body began to glow, his golden armor became brilliant and dazzling in the ten thousand rays of light, the dazzling golden light shrouded the two people together, illuminating the whole room, Si'er's expression gradually became serene, the light shone on her haggard face, reflecting her as beautiful as a saint, her phoenix eyes were lowered, and her head rested on Kaede's broad chest. As quiet as a sleeping baby girl.
"Si'er?"
Feng called softly, Si'er slowly opened her eyes, revealing a weak smile: "Thank you." ”
"Don't thank me, it's time to leave. Ling Yue told me, otherwise I really don't know what to do!" Feng looked at her with concern and asked, "How are you?"
Si'er shook her head gently: "I'm fine." Kaede saw that her eyes were a little moist. He knew that these tears of emotion were not shed for himself.
"Shall we go to Cal Ivan then?"
Si'er looked up. Gritted his teeth to support his body, and said firmly: "Go!"
......
Billy Winmill and Moonlight helped each other climb the steep rock wall. A little more distance away, they will reach the top of the hill above the station, from which they can see the entire station in full view.
Billy Winmill opened the way with the javelin in his hand, and with each step, the tip of the javelin pierced into the mountain wall to stabilize his body, and Yueying followed closely behind, holding a javelin given to her by Billy Winmill in her hand, and followed his example to stabilize her body, stepping on the place where Billy Winmill walked carefully.
Caught off guard, a piece of rubble that could not be supported broke away from its mother body and fell from the mountain wall, and Yueying's boot-wearing feet that were stepping on it also slid down.
"Yikes!"
Yueying's exclamation was interrupted by an upward force, and she looked up in horror at Billy Winmill, who was reaching out and clutching the javelin shaft in her hand, with a grateful smile.
With the help of Billy Winmill, she stabilized herself and regained her footing, and before she could thank him, two figures suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain.
"What people!"
"Oh no, it's been discovered!" said Billy Winmir's heart, they were in a very unfavorable position, and it would be dangerous for the two of them if the enemy fired bows and arrows downwards or threw stones or weapons.
He was about to shoot the sentry with a flying spear, but Yue Ying's eyes were quick, and she had already untied the war hammer from her waist and threw it to the top of the mountain, and with a scream, one of them burst out of her brain and fell down, and the other turned around and flew away when she saw that the situation was not good.
"That's amazing!" said Billy Winmill back. Yue Ying smiled proudly, only to hear him continue: "Let's go up quickly, that person will go back and report the news, the enemy will come soon!" The two of them didn't care about the steepness of the mountain, and accelerated their pace to climb up.
Finally reached the top of the mountain, Billy Winmill glanced at the dead guy on the ground, his whole head was beaten inhuman, and the war hammer was stained with blood, Billy Winmir couldn't help frowning, stepped forward to pick up the war hammer, ripped off the cloak on the corpse, endured the strong smell of blood, wiped the war hammer clean, and handed it to Yueying.
"Here they are. Billy Winmir saw that on the mountain road below, Karl Ivan and a group of people were running up the mountain with a murderous spirit, and he immediately turned to Yueying and said, "You go down from the other side, find the members of the Knights, as well as Miss Si'er and Knight Fengling, and after rescuing them, outflank them from both sides, go quickly!"
"Then what should you do?" Yue Ying looked at him reluctantly, Billy Winmill pushed her and said, "Leave me alone, I'll drag them here, it doesn't matter for a while, you go quickly!" Yue Ying stood in place and hesitated, Billy Winmir anxiously urged: "Hurry up, do you plan to die here together?" Yueying gritted her teeth, turned around and ran down the mountain from the other side.
Watching Yueying run away, Billy Winmir turned to look at the approaching enemy, took the second javelin from his back, lifted his two guns upside down, sneered at the enemy rushing up, and whispered: "Come on, the real battle has just begun!"
Yueying rushed down the hill in a panic, intent on finding reinforcements as soon as possible. Running into the station, there are only a few wooden houses around, there is no one around, Yue Ying cautiously walked to the door of the first house and looked in, there was no one, only some weapons and armor, Yue Ying walked to the second room again, and found that the door was locked, she looked in from the crack in the door, and found that there were some people who were tied up, she looked at no one around, walked to the window and called softly, and the people inside immediately became alert.
"Are you from the Flying Dragon Order?"
"Who are you?" asked a mature-looking man, to which Yueying replied, "I was sent by Billy Winmill." ”
At the name "Billy Winmill", everyone's faces were filled with joy, and they gathered around the window, and the man who had asked him earlier said, "I'm Kohler, the deputy head of the Wyvern Knights, where is the leader?"
"He dragged Karl Ivan and his men at the top of the mountain, let me save you!" she walked to the door, brandished the war hammer, and in a flash, the gate was full of sawdust, Yueying drew her long sword, entered the house and cut the ropes on everyone's bodies, and said, "Go and get weapons to reinforce your regimental commander!"
"Don't worry, we've got us!" Kohler waved his hand, and the Wyvern Knights rushed out of the cabin and ran to the armory.
Yue Ying turned around and was about to go to find the whereabouts of Feng and Si'er, when ten thousand golden lights suddenly radiated from a large wooden house not far away, Yue Ying looked at the room in surprise, and was about to run over to see what was going on, when suddenly a voice came from behind her: "Your Royal Highness Princess, meet again." ”
Yueying turned her head and was shocked to see a smile with a deep meaning. (To be continued......)
