Chapter 46: Turning Away from Friends
Akulay, who arrived in the hurry, was shocked and wondered, why did this Sun Elf jailer's use of spears look so similar to the marksmanship taught by the Knight of Light?
Akured picked up the hammer and set off a strong wind to extinguish the flames, and the hammer was filled with holy light, and slammed it towards Yuri. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuri gritted his teeth and dodged, and the giant hammer smashed into the ground, and the crack instantly spread on the ground. The light burst upwards from the crack on Yuri, and Yuri hurriedly protected his head and face, and his bare skin was illuminated by the light, and there was a burning sensation.
"Absolutely, I won't let you escape!" said Akured swept the hammer toward Yuri with another sweep.
Yuri took the hammer with all his might, and the spear shattered instantly, shaking his internal organs upside down. In adversity, Yuri hurled half of his spear at Acred, pinning his robes to the wall to stop his next attack.
"Okay, isn't it!" Yuri shouted back to Vicky.
Virgy took out the blasting rune and threw it at the gate, and the originally burning flame rune flashed in mid-air, and the flame disappeared instantly.
Virgy couldn't help but be nervous: "There is a forbidden demon device at the gate!"
Yuri's heart sank, so he could only grit his teeth and wait for the princess to create more chaos. But since there are forbidden devices installed on the periphery of the temporary branch, can the princess use spatial magic to escape?
Akured tore open his robe, and the hammer roared down like a meteor again. Yuri couldn't retreat, but took a leap forward, slipped under the hammer, leaped to his feet, and threw Akured to the ground, picking up the broken wooden planks on the ground and smashing them on top of his head.
"This is the way to fight against the ogre hammermen in close combat!" Akured said in amazement, separating the planks with one hand, and throwing Yuri aside with a flick of his wrist, "Who taught you your combat skills?"
Yuri's heart sank, and he replied, "Hmph, my path is very mixed. ”
He picked up the burning logs, followed the example of the princess throwing daggers, and threw them at Akred one after the other. Annoyed, Akured exclaimed, "Blessed with Radiance, Gift of Armor", and let the Holy Light condense his strong chest to strengthen his defenses and bounce off all the pieces of flame.
With decent weapons and a mirror of shadows, Yuri is confident that he will be on par with this old friend, but now it will be very difficult to hold out for half a minute without being taken.
Just as Yuri was in a desperate situation, a violent tremor came from a distance, causing everyone's knees to go numb, and a large cloud of dust shook off the roof of the temporary branch, and smoke swept through the hallway, enveloping everyone.
It seems that the princess's side has succeeded, and this explosion is a signal to retreat.
Virgy took advantage of the chaos to hand the potion to Yuri, who quickly drank it all in one gulp, as long as he disguised himself as two creeps, he would definitely be able to escape in this chaotic moment.
As the smoke cleared, Yuri and Virgil crept to their toes and forced their composure to squeeze outward. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, the golden giant hammer suddenly swung and stopped half a centimeter in front of Yuri.
And the spears and swords of the soldiers were raised at the same time, surrounding Yuri and Virgy in the center!
Yuri was shocked, but he forcibly lied: "Hey, Akulay, why don't you catch those guys who escaped, what are you fighting with me?"
Akured's face darkened, and he was speechless with rage.
On the contrary, Miss Louise, who had come from afar, could not help but laugh coquettishly.
"Poof!" said Miss Louise, whose face was flushed with tears and tears twitching from her eyes, as if a naughty child had seen the funniest clown show, "who has a mirror? Bring your shield to them, and let them see their honor. ”
A soldier lifted his shield in amazement, and on the mirror-smooth surface, Yuri and Virgi only glanced at it, and then they were so frightened that their faces were palpable and paralyzed!
The potion they had just taken didn't turn them into two inconspicuous creeps.
It's about turning them back to their own form!
Louis shook his hands, took out two wanted notices, and giggled: "Virgil, the Reaper's military master, and Ulysses, the disciple of the murdered heretic Qiao Luya, the Holy Light Knights have wanted you for so long, but I didn't expect to find out that we had been playing with you two in our base for many days! It's like a desperate homeless man who found a winning lottery ticket in his pocket." ”
Yuri only felt his calf cramp, and he asked Vicky with a trembling voice, "Hey, what the hell is going on? Did the princess take the wrong potion for us?"
Virgy didn't answer, just clenched his fists in resentment, his eyes so cold that the air around him froze.
Louis clapped his hands and laughed, "Yuri, don't you understand? ”
What, the current situation, was planned by the princess?
Louis licked his lips and continued, "She agreed with us that if the important fugitives were handed over to us, in return, we would bring the black crystals to the Emperor and explain the matter to the Emperor. ”
Yuri's head banged, and he stared stupidly, he never expected the princess to do such a thing. Just a few minutes ago, the princess said with gratitude that we were true friends and would always remember the dark journey that the three of us had gone through together. Unexpectedly, when she said this sentence so sincerely, she had already written a drama called "betrayal" in her heart.
Yuri still remembers that when the princess was begging Luis, the two of them had this conversation-
"Can you help us get the right to preach?"
"Probably not. ”
"So, can you help us clean up the Divine Light Order's henchmen?"
"If it's an enemy that even you find intractable, I probably won't be able to deal with it. ”
The princess subconsciously glanced at Yuri and Virgil at that time, and then the answer was not "I don't want to", but "I can't deal with it".
And when she sensed that the crisis was looming and that there was little time left to delay, she finally made up her mind to accept Louis's terms.
Louis nodded and said to himself: "The princess has done a good job in this transaction, and the lives of the two partners are really not worth mentioning compared to the righteousness of the country. Fortunately, this deal is also acceptable to us, Acred, let's hurry up and take the Dark Crystal to the Emperor. ”
Akured kept his eyes on Yuri, both saddened by the fact that he had been reunited with his old friend in this way, and angry at Yuri's choice of the unforgivable path of darkness. Eventually, he put away the Hammer and turned around, turning his back to Yuri and saying, "It seems that your fighting skills have also improved a lot over the years. ”
He took the Dark Hedron from Louis's hand, stood there for a few seconds, and then said, "Yuri, you have never used the Dark Mandate in these battles, which shows that your heart of honor as a Knight of Light has not completely died. I assure you that you will not be subjected to any mistreatment until you are finally judged. ”
Yuri's throat was infarcted, his brain was confused, and a sour feeling rushed to his chest, he wanted to ask Mr. Qiao Luya, what do you mean by friends, why do I regard the princess and Akured as friends, but one of them wants to use him as a bargaining chip, and in the eyes of the other, he is an enemy of life and death.
As if in a deep nightmare, Yuri shook his head vigorously, and with what little lucidity he had left, he asked loudly: "If the princess had betrayed us, she could have exposed us on the spot, so why bother to make such an arrangement!"
Virgi laughed angrily, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and replied, "It's good to go with you too." betrayed in person, and the four eyes were so noisy that their faces were red and their ears were red and their ears were spitting, which was not good-looking. ”
Akured and Louis got on the horse and went to the central neighborhood of the imperial capital, Louis was in a good mood, chattering all the way, but Akured was in a solemn mood, silently holding the hammer, only feeling that the holy hammer that can be easily wielded today seems to have sunk several times.
Louis smiled like a flower: "When the Divine Knight returns to the temporary branch, he will definitely reward us greatly." Maybe you can get a head of the regiment, and I can also be upgraded, the white gauze skirt of the mid-level priest with gold trim is hand-embroidered by the best embroidery workshop in the capital, 'Shuiyunfang', which is really worth looking forward to. ”
Akured smiled reluctantly and replied nonchalantly, "Yes." ”
"Akulay, you don't seem happy. ”
"Louis......" Akured asked in a low voice, "if Princess Flora doesn't propose a deal, and the Guards General is corrupted by the darkness, are you really going to hang it high and don't see it?"
"What do you say?" said Louis winked.
"Then why didn't you ...... sooner It means that this matter is the unshirkable responsibility of our Knights?"
The subtext in Akured's mind was that in this way, Yuri would not have to be ruthlessly betrayed by the princess.
Although he should have drawn a line with this old friend now, when he recalled Yuri's original earnest and combative eyes, which were so confused and empty just now, both unwilling to be fooled by others, and unwilling to believe as if he was desperately anesthetizing himself, and even pleading for pity, begging someone to tell him that it was just a joke, this look still made Akured very heartbroken.
Louis pouted and said, "Akred, strictly speaking, we decided to go to the Emperor, and we did not get permission from the Divine Knight. Although the adult who does good deeds will not be blamed, he will be severely scolded if he says badly. I'm going to need a little bit of a good buck to make up for my motivation. ”
