Chapter 20: The King's Sword (7)

Fortunately, Mellind gave Gu Shiyu some herbs in time, so that his head was not burned by alcohol. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoEven so, Gu Shiyu was like a serious illness, and he couldn't lift his spirits in the next few days.

He slowly moved down the hallway. In the garden, Catherine is training Gabriel and Lucifer with twin swords in hand. From time to time, the two poor teenagers were slapped hard on their buttocks and backs by Catherine's sword.

"Watch your steps! Every move you make is to attack the enemy, not to let the enemy take advantage of your flaws to attack you!"

Gabriel was hooked by Catherine's leg and immediately fell to the ground.

"Lucifer, your intent to attack is too obvious! I only need to look at your eyes to know where you are going to attack!"

"Keep your sword in front of you! God, not only do you have no strength, you don't have skills, you fight like a woman!"

Lucifer swung his sword in a rage, but Catherine knocked out his weapon with one sword, and pointed the other at his throat.

"You wield your sword like a madman, but neglect your defense! And you must suppress your anger, not be provoked by the words and actions of your enemies, and keep a cool head!"

Gu Shiyu couldn't help but applaud.

Gabriel and Lucifer immediately put away their swords and said with bright smiles: "Brother Gu Zi, you have finally recovered! Her Royal Highness the Princess is instructing us in swordsmanship." ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess is very powerful, I am not sure to defeat her at all. Ask your Highness the princess well. ”

"Yes!"

Catherine put away her sword, walked in front of Gu Shiyu, looked at him carefully for a long time, and then said, "You wait for me, I'll take you to meet someone." ”

Girls are still a little troublesome, and this is most of the day. But when Catherine, fresh out of the bath, stood in front of him in a long dress and with a fragrance, all the wait was worth it.

Catherine took Gu Shiyu's arm and walked on the avenue of the princess city, and the citizens bowed one after another, bursting into applause and cheers from time to time.

Is it better for a successful leader to be feared by others, or is it better to be loved by others?

The answer is self-evident.

It seems that Gu Shiyu and Catherine like this atmosphere. Even the expressions of Gabriel and Lucifer behind them were no longer serious, and their faces were rippling with the joy and carefree that were unique to teenagers.

"I don't drink, really, I can't drink, at least not now......" Gu Shiyu was pulled to the door of the tavern by Catherine, and refused to go in anyway, but Catherine didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and dragged him in.

"To the Great Chosen One! To the beautiful Princess!" the people in the tavern raised their glasses.

Gu Shiyu was very happy, and he said loudly: "Boss, today's wine money is all mine." ”

The people cheered, and the people of the entire princess city knew that the chosen one in front of them was this virtue.

"Do you see that old man over there? He turned out to be a wonderful hero. Catherine whispered in Gu Shiyu's ear.

Gu Shiyu was startled, oh my God, is he really a hero? Not at all? His face was red, and he looked like he had high blood pressure; he was still a rosacea, he wiped his nose at every turn, he couldn't even hold his wine glass steadily, he trembled, and his hands and feet kept trembling.

"People who are good at drinking and greedy for cups are like this in the end!" Catherine glared at Gu Shiyu and said, "Do you want to be like him?"

"I don't want to, I don't want to ...... at all" Gu Shiyu's head immediately shook like a rattle.

"Tell me, we've only been married for three days, and you're as drunk as a dead pig, and you throw me aside, how can I punish you!"

Gu Shiyu secretly put his mouth into Catherine's ear and said, "You can do it on top of me!" and I like you like me very much...... Oops!

Catherine wrung him so hard that she almost screwed the piece of meat off.

Gu Shiyu was so painful that he inhaled cold air. Oh my God, Catherine scratched all over her body on the first day of her wedding, and it still hurts, and the old wounds are not healed and new ones are added!

However, Gu Shiyu suddenly found a person, and he immediately ran over to sit down, and Princess Catherine had to follow as well.

"Welcome, Tanan, I didn't expect you to come to the princess city too, otherwise I would have invited you to the palace a long time ago!"

"Your wife burned the Thieves' Guild on fire, so I have no place to drink!"

"Well, it's okay to burn other places, but how can you burn a tavern! ”

"It's not fun to have no one to drink with me. Can you still drink it? Looks like you haven't woken up yet. ”

"Definitely not today, let's do it another day!" Gu Shiyu glanced at Tanan. Tanan understood, so he no longer insisted.

"I didn't expect you to beat York, it seems that I underestimated you!"

"You know York?"

"Of course! He and I were classmates at the Blancada Academy of Magic and Wizardry, and no one in the academy had ever surpassed us. ”

"Tanan, on the island of Light, I have heard of your legendary experience. The Great War is about to begin, haven't you forgotten your original intention?"

Tanan sighed, "Can you not say this? I have fallen to this point because of it. ”

"I believe that you still have something in your heart, and there are still many things in this world that you can defend and fight. Humans, dwarves, wildlings, elementals, witches, and animal tamers have now formed an alliance, and it's up to you elves. ”

Tanan smiled bitterly: "I am a traitor to the elven race, in the Titan Continent, there is no place for me, let alone my right to speak. ”

"But I'm sure there are many people in Titan who have the same insight as you. No race is immune to war, and I believe that more and more people will see this clearly. ”

Eldred ran into the tavern and whispered a few words to Catherine.

Catherine said to Tanan: "Hero Tanan, I'm so sorry, he and I have to deal with an urgent matter, and we will be very honored if you can come to the palace as a guest." ”

"I will. Tanan nodded, he raised his cup and gestured to Gu Shiyu.

As soon as Eldred turned, he accidentally knocked over Tanan's glass, and the wine was dripping into Tanan's crotch.

"It's dangerous! If I serve not wine, but a glass of boiling water, you will be clumsy and wasted. Tanan held up his empty hand and smiled bitterly.

"Who's clumsy? you're not going to take your paw off the ground?" said Adridid's glare. She was going to apologize, but she didn't expect this annoying man to say that she was clumsy.

Tanan leaned his back back and looked at the big-eyed girl with amusement. Adridrid ignored him and ran out of the tavern with Gu Shiyu and Catherine.

"What's the matter?"

"Just now I received an urgent report from the ravens of the Shenmu Forest, and a group of swamp troops came from the portal outside the Shenmu Forest, the banner is the Hydra Banner, and it seems that there are more than a thousand people. Adridrid panted.

"Swamp troops? That must be Altyn. He was a good friend of mine, and he had come to the City of Princesses to marry McLind. ”

"Really? That's great, it looks like the princess city has another happy event!" Catherine and Eldred were overjoyed.

"Gabriel, Lucifer, tell Melind quickly, that she should hurry up and get ready to go out of the city, and accompany me to meet Altyn. ”

Catherine sneered and laughed, "You are so stupid, how can a girl go to meet her future husband in person, at this time, a girl must remain reserved, otherwise others will laugh at her." At this, her face suddenly turned red. After she heard that Gu Shiyu was coming, she didn't stay reserved, would others laugh at her for being in a hurry to get married?

"Well, tell them it's okay. Gu Shiyu scratched his head and said.

"Take more people out, it's not too peaceful outside now. Catherine admonished.

"I'll take Yolande with me. ”

"I'm relieved that you're taking him there, but they don't have horses, and walking is a detriment to their image as heroes. You'd better take Christine with you! I'm in the city to prepare. ”

"Well, why is Christine reluctant to give up his horses?" Gu Shiyu sighed.

"His horses are his lifeblood, don't even think about it. ”

Gu Shiyu came to the cavalry training ground in the city, Christine was leading his cavalry to conduct tactical training, and when he saw Gu Shiyu, Christine immediately pulled him onto the viewing platform.

"Lao Ke, I have something to do with you!"

"I'm looking for you too!"

Hart and Taris immediately assembled their cavalry troops, stood in front of the team, commanded the team to raise their spears high, and shouted, "Salute to the Chosen One!"

Hey, how come there are still a hundred or so infantry in the cavalry?

"Guzi, do you think my cavalry is still like a cavalry? I have few horses, but there are still people who want to beat my horses. ”

The person who wants to beat your horse idea, Gu Shiyu is also one, but before he could speak, he asked Christine to seal it tightly.

Gu Shiyu had no choice but to say: "Alas, but I can't think of any way." You can take some people out of town with me!"

Outside the city, Brunfield, Stig and other animal trainers are ready to go, and Mellind, dressed up, is looking into the distance with her girlfriends on the city walls.

Catherine also came to the city wall and watched the cavalry fade away.

"Oh my God, McLind, you're so pretty, don't wear that black cloak again, it's like a cloud blocking the sun's light!"

"Look at what you said, Your Highness the Princess. McLind was embarrassed.

"It's true!" Catherine said, taking Merlind's hand, "If you go back to the Swamps, I'll miss you, and the people of Princess City." The people of the Lost Lands are well fed and clothed, and that's thanks to you and your sisters!"

"Your Highness Princess, I have only done what I thought I had to do, and I hope that people will not be afraid of us witches in the future. ”

"No, witches will always be our friends. Catherine said sincerely.

"Your Highness Princess, there is one more thing I have to tell you, some of the farms outside the city have had some accidents during this time, and five or six farmers have died mysteriously, their blood has dried up, and only a thin row of tooth marks can be found on their necks. ”

"Could it be a vampire of the undead?"

I surveyed the scene, and there was no smell of rotting corpses in the room, but a smell of flowers. ”

"How so?"

"I looked up the library and suspected that it was the Banshee of the Night. Your Highness Princess, do you remember how the grain disappeared? Ressa said that a small footprint was found by the campfire, and I suspect that they were all made by the same person. ”

Catherine was taken aback: "Could it be that this legendary demon has appeared?"

"Yes. Banshees only hurt men, though, so you'll have to keep an eye on where men congregate. ”

"That's so important! The people of the city were already worried about us leaving the Lost Lands, and if they found out about the Banshee of the Night, it would cause panic. Catherine turned to her head and said, "Eldrid, please bring Gru, Murak, Yoland, and Roland, and I will discuss this matter with them." ”

"Yolande and Guzi have gone to meet Algin, I'll go find the other three!"

Gru and the others were also very nervous when they heard such news. Mulak immediately activated his vast spy network, and there were many more disguised soldiers and heroes inside and outside the city.

But bad news continues to be reported from time to time. There was nothing anyone could do about the mysterious Banshee of the Night, even the seasoned Murak was helpless. She is like a ghost, here today, and suddenly gone to a far away place tomorrow.

Altyn and his entourage were warmly welcomed in the City of Princesses. Gu Shiyu half-jokingly said to Alkin: "Alkin, I see that you will marry Mellinde in the princess city, I will be happy to be your best man." ”

"Guzi, this is not going to work. We must return to our own territory and get married, and we must report to the High Priests of the Isle of Light. ”

"Why is it so troublesome?" Gu Shiyu scratched his head and said, "I married Catherine on the day I proposed to her, what is the matter with Holy Light Island?"

"The wedding of ordinary people can be arbitrary, but the wedding of the king and the lord must be approved by the Holy Light Island, and only in this way is it a legal marriage, and it will be recognized and supported by the Holy Light Island. ”

"What!" Gu Shiyu didn't know what to say. "I have slept with Her Royal Highness the Princess, am I still an illegal husband and wife? Not to mention that my wedding with her was witnessed by many heroes in the world and soldiers and civilians all over the city. ”

"After you return to Erathia, you should send someone to the Holy Light Island to make up the formalities! You and Princess Catherine will be the kings of Erathia in the future, and you must get the support of the Holy Light Island. ”

"It should be easy, Eric promised to help us. "But it's just a marriage certificate, nothing.

"When I arrived in the Swamplands, I heard bad rumors about the Isle of Light. Eric, the chief priest of the Isle of Light, has been impeached by the congressmen and bankers because his disciple Sandru started attacking the Duke of Elares because of his disciple Sandru's misdeeds in Diahu, and now his position is in jeopardy. ”

"What are you talking about?!, my father is being attacked by Sandru?" Roland on the side was taken aback.

"Yes. But I guess that's not the idea of the Isle of Light and Eric. Eric vouched for Sandru and borrowed three million gold coins from the Isle of Light, which gave Sandru the ability to wage war against your father. I reckon Eric will be in a lot of trouble. ”

"Guzi, you have to draw your sword quickly!" Roland grabbed Gu Shiyu's hand.

"Yes, Guzi, I really can't figure it out, you've been back for so many days, where did you come from so many things?Now draw your sword, break the seal of the portal, and let everyone go back, that's the most important thing!" Yuland was also very dissatisfied.

What have I been doing these days, you don't know! Gu Shiyu said in his heart, it has only been three days since he accompanied Catherine to get married, and my brother hasn't spent his honeymoon yet! After three days, I was drunk by you, and I lay on the bed for a few more days; I woke up a little and went to pick up Altyn again, my brother was so busy, why don't you understand?

"Guzi, are you going to leave me in the Lost Land!" Altyn laughed.

"Draw your sword, draw your sword!" shouted the heroes.

Catherine also looked at Gu Shiyu and nodded.

Gu Shiyu was actually very worried, he had already drawn his sword twice, each time making others laugh at him, and now he had a deep fear of the king's sword inserted on the tombstone. They all say that they are the chosen ones, but what if they don't pull it out?

"Okay!" Gu Shiyu nodded.

The crowd immediately erupted in cheers!

"But not now, I ......"

"You're so long-winded!' you're a!" looked at him with disdain, and spat indignantly.

Gu Shiyu's face flushed. He looked into everyone's disgruntled eyes and explained, "Everyone knows what happens when the seal is opened. We have been in the Lost Lands for so many years, this is our second home, and although we have left the City of Princesses, I still want to do one more thing for the Lost Lands, and that is to completely destroy the portal from the dungeon to the Lost Lands, so that this land will not suffer from war. ”

"It's easy to say, if this can be destroyed, it was destroyed thousands of years ago, which round will get you!"

"Believe me, give me another half a month, whether it succeeds or not, I will definitely draw the king's sword then!"
