Chapter 21: Hunting Heart
Looking at his wounds, Ling Chen couldn't help but sigh at the power of magic, in such a short period of time, the terrifying wound had healed so much that there was not even a wound left. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info But this can be regarded as using the best treatment team of this magic association, right? I have to admit that although I hate the title of the second prince of Resnot, it is really easy to use at this critical moment.
Got off the bed, gave birth to a lazy waist, thanks to the blessing of this assassination, Ling Chen's residence successfully moved from the humble tavern in the city to the interior of the dignified and elegant Magician Association, indeed as the elf woman said before, every room here is equipped with a defensive enchantment, even Ling Chen, a layman who does not know magic, can detect the abnormality, and gently knocked on the wall with his hand, I heard that this kind of enchantment can not only defend against the impact, but also reduce noise, which is probably the reason why many magicians did not notice it at the first time during the assassination, so Dou Wo was so mobile during the magic test, what kind of terrifying magic did he use by mistakeοΌ
A crisp knock sounded, Ling Chen moved his gaze to the door, and the visitor waited for a long time without responding, so he opened the door carefully. It was the elf woman who had been sitting at the front desk before entering the room. In the past few days, Ling Chen has learned that her name is Knight El and she is a sky elf, but Ling Chen prefers to call her Xiaoqiong by human name. It has been three days since Ling Chen was assassinated, and Xiao Qiong has been taking care of Ling Chen for the past three days.
"Your Highness Ling Chen, you're awake!"
Ling Chen nodded, stood up, and stretched his sturdy body, but this action made Xiao Qiong panic, and hurriedly put the decoction in his hand on the table, and supported Ling Chen with a slightly red face: "Although your injury is cured, it is still recovering, don't do too strenuous exercise, be careful that the wound is cracked." β
Ling Chen looked at his body, not to mention cracking, there was not even a wound. But since she said so, she obediently went back to bed, and at this time, Ling Chen was naked with his upper body, bare his solid muscles, and looked at the girl in the room indifferently.
Xiao Qiong couldn't help but be a little flustered, and brought the tea on the table to Ling Chen: "Your Highness, this is the freshly brewed flower tea." β
Ling Chen smiled and took the teacup and took a sip gently, the sweet juice made Ling Chen feel extremely refreshed: "Did you make it?"
"Do you like it?"
"Pretty good. β
Xiaoqiong filled Ling Chen's teacup again: "Your Highness, thank you for saving me." β
Ling Chen looked at Xiao Qiong and took a breath, even though he had already made his realization, but saying such words still made him feel a little disgusted: "It's my honor to save such a beautiful girl as you." β
But the effect was very good, Xiao Qiong's face was a little red, looking at Ling Chen, when his life was in danger, this human man stepped forward to save himself. Xiao Qiong clearly remembers that his heart was beating fast at that time, probably at that time he had already fallen in love with this human prince: "I'm just a Kanban girl, you are His Royal Highness the Prince." Please value your life in the future. For my sake, what if...... It's not worth it."
"Human life is equal in the face of life and death!" Ling Chen's voice carried a gentle magnetism: "I have never felt that my life is heavier than anyone else's. β
Xiao Qiong felt that his face was burning hot, and he lowered his head slightly and didn't dare to look at Ling Chen, but Ling Chen gently tiptoed his jaw to look at her: "What's more, it's still a gentle girl like you?"
β...... Your Highness's tea is going to be cold. Xiao Qiong said with a red face, wanting to change the topic and calm himself down: "I heard that His Highness seems to be busy running for the position of prince recently, how could he come to our holy domain?"
"Running for the position of prince?" Ling Chen's brows jumped slightly, he had just made a decision, how could even the elves already know about it? Could it be that Orlan leaked it?
"I heard that in the kingdom of Your Highness, you and your eldest prince are the only ones who are qualified to run for the crown prince, aren't you competing for this?"
Ling Chen breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that other countries don't know much about the situation in Rennot. Looking at Xiao Qiong's somewhat curious gaze, Ling Chen didn't answer her immediately: "You already know that I am the prince of Rennot, but I only know your name, this is really unfair, can you tell me your story, why are you here?"
"My story?" Xiao Qiong closed his eyes and pondered slightly, "Actually, I don't have a story. I originally lived in this area, and I followed my uncle since I was a child, and after the end of the Hundred Years' War, this place became the holy capital of Fallusi, because I know some space and healing magic and elves, so I was recommended to become a magician here, and I usually help the president take care of the clutter. β
"You said you grew up with your uncle, but what about your parents?"
Xiao Qiong's face became a little sad: "They were killed by the orcs in the Hundred Years War, and they ...... on the day of the catastrophe."
This is an unfamiliar word, but Ling Chen can still read the atmosphere, and did not continue to ask, but showed a sad look: "Sorry, I mentioned your sadness." β
"It's been so many years since everything happened, and I can't even remember what my parents looked like. Xiaoqiong looked at Ling Chen, she rarely mentioned her past, she would avoid this topic when asked about her before, probably because she looked at Ling Chen's broad shoulders and was worth relying on, and she didn't even control it, so she told him: "Your Highness, now that you know me, you should answer my questions, right?"
Ling Chen smiled inwardly, and gently put his hand on Xiaoqiong's shoulder: "Although now, the Hundred Years War has ended, there are still many contradictions between races, I hope to use my hands to create a country without strife, no, it is a world without strife, so in order to achieve my goal, I must become the king of Resnot, so that I can better guide my people to make this world a better place! That's right, I'm indeed competing with my eldest brother for the position of prince, whether I win or lose, even if I lose, I will assist him well, borrow his hand, and I will definitely create a harmonious world!"
I could feel the heat and warmth transmitted by Ling Chen's palms on his shoulders, Ling Chen's words shook Xiao Qiong's heart little by little, and Xiao Qiong couldn't help but hold Ling Chen's hand: "Your Highness, can I walk with you? I also want to do my part!!"
Ling Chen smiled slightly and nodded.
Looking at Xiao Qiong who was leaving, Ling Chen's face sank and became indifferent again, he gently rubbed his hand and squeezed out a smile on his face, stood up, moved his body, and after confirming that there was no problem, he also stayed in this Falu West City for too long.
Since Ling Chen's body is not in serious trouble, then Ye Xiao and the others are also ready to set off, the only thing that has changed is that their pass is obviously much more formal than before, although they rejected the proposal of the branch president of the Magician Association to arrange guards for them, but Ling Chen's team has added a new member, the sky elf Xiaoqiong.
Ling Chen looked at this petite and beautiful woman, but there was a little pity in his heart: "Do you really want to follow me?"
"Well, as His Royal Highness the Prince, you have come to a foreign country, and you are often assassinated, and it is inevitable that you will be injured, although I am not very skilled, but I still know some healing spells! I will definitely be able to help you." β
Ling Chen stopped speaking and nodded.
Seeing that Ling Chen's body had recovered, Ye Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief, and patted Dou Wo beside him: "Brother Dou Wo, I was sorry for talking to you that day." β
"It's okay, Your Highness Ye Xiao, but after all, it was the contemptible people who made such a stupid move that put His Highness in crisis. It's good that Your Highness is okay now, otherwise the contemptible people themselves will blame themselves. β
Ling Chen also walked to Dou Wo's side: "I should thank you, thanks to your use of blasting magic to blow away the smoke, the guild leader was able to arrive in time, otherwise I might have died on the assassin's blade." β
"Your Highness, don't say that, I obviously ......"
"Actually, I should apologize to you, I shouldn't hide my identity in front of someone as upright as you. I should apologize to you for lying to you for so long. β
"No, no, no!" Dou Wo was obviously a little panicked: "Your Highness, you are serious, I know that you also deliberately concealed your identity for safety, and you didn't lie to me, in addition to His Royal Highness the Prince, the traveler is also your identity." β
Ye Xiao smiled: "Since you say so, don't call us Your Highness, just like before, call us Ling Chen, Ye Xiao is fine!
"It is a contemptible honor to be able to go with the two Highnesses, as long as the two Highnesses do not dislike it. β
Ye Xiao and Ling Chen's eyes exchanged, Ling Chen nodded slightly, it seemed that the originally thin team had become lively again.
The president of the Magic Association didn't leave much of Ling Chen, probably he also wanted to send this Buddha away as soon as possible, if anything happened to his place, then he couldn't bear this responsibility. As for Xiaoqiong's departure, the association president was a little reluctant, but he could see that Xiaoqiong had made a decision, so he didn't do any extra persuasion.
Walking out of the door of the Magic Association, the dazzling sunlight made Ling Chen can't help but raise his hand, so that his eyes are more comfortable, looking at the back of the hand blocking the sun, it seems that this sun is not as huge as he imagined. But the hate is still as annoying as ever. The eyes probably adjusted to the sunlight outside, and lowered their arms.
"Two, where are we going now?"
Tired of seeing the mirrored streets and uninspired buildings, Ling Chen patted his clothes: "Holy capital, Lafusa!"
