The dust settled.

Everything is in order under Ellie's arrangement, the reward of the reward, the compensation of the compensation, this is what a princess of the kingdom should do, she is not the kind of royal family that bullies.

"Boleyn, the rest is up to you. ”

Ellie finally said to Boleyn: "Answer the royal capital, don't forget to arrange them, our royal family will definitely not break our word easily, as long as we make a promise, we will definitely keep it." ”

"My subordinates understand!"

Of course, Bolin will take Ellie's orders to heart, and maintaining the dignity and integrity of the princess is the duty that every guardian knight should fulfill.

The only thing that made him wonder was.

Why did Her Royal Highness recover so quickly, did she really cancel her plan to go to the City of the Dead?

According to Boleyn's understanding for so long, Ellie has never been a person who easily changes her mind, once she has made up her mind, even the king can't stop it, but in the current situation, Ellie seems to have completely given up on her original plan.

Whew-

Although he didn't understand why Ellie gave up so easily this time, Boleyn was relieved that if Ellie really wanted to go to the City of the Dead, it would be a bit of a hassle for him.

"Let's dine. ”

Ellie smiled again, as if it had been a hallucination, and began to beckon everyone to join in for breakfast, no one knowing what was going on in her mind.

Has she really given up already?

As Boleyn imagined, Ellie, as an extremely persistent person, could give up her plans because of this setback, after all, she is a princess who makes your family run away a regular thing.

It's just a disguise!

Lonely and helpless, do you have to give up your goal if you are opposed?

Ellie has never been a person to be influenced by other people's eyes, and she pretends to dismiss all thoughts just because she doesn't want to be hindered by everyone, especially Boleyn.

As her guardian knight, Ellie had no doubt that Boleyn would do anything to stop her.

Therefore, Ellie was ready to go to the City of the Dead while everyone was not looking, even if the road was full of monsters, even if she would die on the way, but these were not things she wanted to think about.

Wouldn't that life be boring if nothing was at risk?

And she has already given the antidote, and has also arranged everyone's affairs, she can already go to the City of the Dead without worry, but the matter of wanting to see Lin Bai is what she wants to do no matter what.

Thereupon.

After lunch, the Nightmare Mercenary Group took a lunch break at the hotel, and the three of Garian went to the town closest to Tenglong City to buy some souvenirs, and Bolin was also arranged by him to go out to buy supplies, Ellie got ready and walked out of the hotel.

It's a sixth-tier town.

It was no more than two hundred kilometers away from Dragon City, which was not a long distance for a professional, so Ellie bought a horse and headed directly for Dragon City.

Pass through Dragon City and then head to Evil Dragon Ridge.

Although she didn't have the speed of the diamond level, Ellie was confident that she would be able to reach the Evil Dragon Ridge in two days, and the real problem was how to get to the City of the Dead.

The road to the City of the Dead is full of monsters.

Although the Demonic Beast is not too powerful, it is only for a gold-level person, and a silver like her, if she is lucky, she may not encounter a high-level Demonic Beast and arrive safely in the City of the Dead.

If you're unlucky......

The result is self-evident, after all, it is a bit too risky for a silver level to advance in that kind of place, once it is targeted by a high-level demonic beast, I am afraid that it will end up with a dead body.

To know!

Since the demonic beasts of the Evil Dragon Ridge were swept away by the undead, the demonic beasts outside the city have been replaced by a relatively high-level demonic beast, and the strength of these demonic beasts is naturally much more ferocious than the demonic beasts before the outbreak of the beast tide.

Da Da Da –

In half an hour, Ellie had already ridden out of the city gates.

Just as she was about to set off all the way to Tenglong City, she found a person she knew all too well stood in the middle of the main road - Bolin!

"See Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Bolin got down on one knee and blocked Ellie's way.

Ellie reluctantly stopped moving forward, frowned and asked, "Bolin, why are you here, didn't I tell you to go and buy supplies?"

"Your Highness!"

Bolin raised his head and said loudly: "Before purchasing supplies, my task is to protect your safety, and I have purchased all the things you ordered, and I am here to hand them over to you." ”

"You ......"

"Are you asking why I'm here?"

Bolin pointed to the horse beside him with the supplies on his back and said, "Because I am sure that you are not a person who will give up easily, and you asked me to hand it over to you after I have purchased the supplies, I can only wait for you here." ”

"I'm so stupid when I'm supposed to be smart, and I'm fake smart when I'm supposed to be stupid!"

Ellie got off her horse and said, "Are you here to stop me? You should know that I am a will, and no one can change it, even if you are my guardian knight, I will never give up my plans." ”

"Of course I know that!"

Bolin also stood up and said: "But this time it is not that I want to stop you, on the way to purchase supplies, I met with His Majesty's envoy and received a letter from the royal capital, this letter is naturally from His Majesty the King. ”

With that, Boleyn took out the letter and held it with both hands.

Ellie hesitated for a moment, but still took the letter from Bolin's hand, but still said vigilantly, "I tell you, even my father can't stop me, so you better give up your thoughts." ”

With that, Ellie opened the letter.

Just by glancing, Ellie's face changed drastically, and she said in disbelief: "The queen mother is critically ill? How is this possible, she was fine before she came out, how could this kind of thing happen." ”

Ellie's hand holding the letter trembled slightly.

Should she go to the City of the Dead or rush back to the royal capital immediately?Ellie is faced with a dilemma, and of course Ellie will not doubt the authenticity of this letter, because she can't afford to gamble.

"We'll go back to the royal capital now!"

Ellie glanced at Bolin and said, "You go and inform the Nightmare Mercenary Group and the three of them, and leave to return to the royal capital now, there is no time to delay here." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Boleyn didn't ask Ellie why, nor did he suspect that Ellie was trying to break him off, because he knew that their whereabouts were under the King's control from beginning to end, and that it was impossible for the King to have his whereabouts revealed to deliver a letter to Ellie if it wasn't for something important.

"Shiro, I'm sorry. ”

Ellie took one last look in the direction of Dragon City and said, "Please wait a little longer, I will definitely come to see you again, no matter what happens to you, I will not let you be alone anymore, everything is up to me and you to bear together." ”

With a determined gaze, Ellie began to march towards the royal capital.

And everything was as Ellie imagined, Lin Bai was indeed enjoying endless loneliness, even more lonely than before he met Ellie, looking like a homeless stray dog.

Letting go of the betrayer, he didn't dare to face Ellie......

The scene slipped through his mind like a lantern, and he wanted to reach out and caress Ellie's childish face, but when he saw the dry palm, all his illusions were shattered.

"Do you really want to be human again?"

Appearing silently every day, as long as you listen to the voice, you know that this must be a beautiful sound unique to Kaguya, and it is also the only comfort he can get.

Kaguya's daily companionship made him really feel that he was still alive and not a walking corpse.

Lin Bai, who heard the voice, trembled, this was a sign of joy, and Lin Bai immediately said: "Of course you want to turn back into a human being, if there is only endless loneliness, then immortality is just a kind of torture." ”

"Not dying is indeed a torture. ”

A trace of helplessness flashed in Kaguya's eyes, but in an instant, he looked at Lin Bai with a smile and said, "Maybe I had the same thoughts as you before, but now I don't want to die." ”

"Why?"

"Secret. ”

Kaguya looked at Lin Bai, and the corners of his mouth pulled up with a beautiful smile.

As for the reason why Kaguya didn't want to die, Lin Bai couldn't guess it, even if he guessed it, Lin Bai didn't plan to expose it, as for whether Lin Bai knew it or not, it didn't matter what this kind of thing was.

The only thing he needs to know is that he needs her now.

Perhaps in other words, they need each other, at this time Kaguya only has Lin Bai, and Lin Bai only has Kaguya, the lonely huddled in the corner, warming each other and comforting each other.

"It's not impossible to regain humanity. ”

Kaguya looked at Lin Bai seriously and said, "I can help you restore your human body if you want, but at the cost of everything you have now, including your summoned undead, and that interesting thing that gives you power." ”

"You say things are...... system?"

Lin Bai stood up suddenly, he didn't think that Kaguya actually knew about the system, he had never told anyone about the system.

"It turned out to be called a system. ”

Kaguya nodded and said, "If you turn back into a human, you will lose everything you have, are you still willing?If you do, come to me tomorrow, and I will help you realize this dream." ”

There was a pause.

Kaguya reminded again: "Please remember, you will lose all your power and become an ordinary person who is not even a professional, and you will even be killed by a first-order demonic beast in seconds, and you will not even be able to get out of the Evil Dragon Ridge." ”

"How, how could it be like this......"

If he loses his strength, then Lin Bai understands that he still won't be able to see Ellie, because this is a world where strength is supreme, and if he loses the system, it is impossible for him to regain his original rank in a short time.

Again, this is a dilemma.
