Chapter 26: The Wedding March (2)
"What did the witch tell you, Elmadi?" said Mrs. Abigail, looking worriedly.
"Mrs. Abigail, but the old lady won't let me tell anyone!" said Elmadie, bewildered.
"You tell me quietly that I won't tell anyone, so they won't know. Mrs. Abigail assured.
"Since she has promised others to keep it secret, don't force her to be a person who breaks her oath. Abigail said, "You have to be principled, and so do children." ”
"How old is she??to hell with your principles!, am I not worried about Elmadi?, and what if the witch has done anything bad to her?," exclaimed Mrs. Abigail.
"I don't think Helena is as scary as everyone thinks! Looks like she likes Elmadie, doesn't she?" said Abigail.
"Oh my God, she's not scary enough......? She's horrible enough to drink human blood! She's hiding alone in the forest, who knows how many people she's killed?"
"I've killed people, but that's on the battlefield, not indiscriminately, but to protect myself. Helena just hid in the forest, and didn't run around doing evil. As long as she doesn't trespass into her forest, she won't hurt anyone!"
"I don't understand, how can you help her talk?!, do you have a crush on her, and you can't marry her?" exclaimed Mrs. Abigail angrily, "Well, I'll take Raphael and Elmadie with me, and let you go and live a good life in the forest with that witch!"
"Oh, you're such a man!" Abigail didn't know what to say. He looked at Tanan in embarrassment, but Tanan pretended not to hear.
Mrs. Abigail looked up and down Almadie for a long time, and was relieved to see that there was nothing unusual.
Out of the Diya border, the sky is no longer dark and hazy. Everyone was bathed in the warm sunshine, and the mood was particularly comfortable, and they felt that their feet were much lighter.
They came to the border town. This is where they set out when they went to Dia, where their horses and excess baggage were kept. If Ressa and Jasmine hadn't gotten lost, they would have returned to the town as well.
Strangely, there are fewer pedestrians on the streets of the town than in the past. Even if I occasionally ran into a few, I looked panicked.
What's going on? What's going on in the town?
Tanan came to his friend's house. It was an old human hero who is said to have followed Tanan on adventures when he was young, and settled down after getting married and starting a family, and now he has a group of children, and Tanan is still alone.
"What the hell is going on here? I feel like this place is not the same as it was before we left!" Tanan said.
"After you left, there were two murders in the orchard and farm outside the town, and the deceased had a clear tooth mark on his neck, and the blood in his whole body was sucked dry, which looked very terrifying!"
Was it a vampire who did it?
The old hero continued: "You know, this town is very peaceful, it is rare for anything to happen, and every day is almost exactly the same. Such a terrible thing happened that immediately caused panic in the town. Some say that Dia's Sandru Legion of the Undead has crossed the border, while others say that the witches of the forests of Turalone are wandering out and doing evil. ”
Tanan interrupted, "It wasn't the witch in the forests of Turalone who did it, because we came from there. ”
"You ...... You actually entered the forest?" The old hero's eyes widened, almost in disbelief: "Oh my God, you're still alive?"
"That witch wasn't as terrible as everyone thought. "Tanan Road.
"I don't think so. Over the years, both the heroes of the exploration adventure and the ordinary shepherds, once they entered the forest, they never returned. ”
"Uh...... She didn't do it anyway, because we just said goodbye to her. ”
"If she hadn't done it, chances were a vampire from around town. Strangely enough, I searched for several days with the young people of the town, but found no clues. ”
"You're here?" a girl jumped out of the door and ran in. As soon as he heard the voice, Gu Shiyu knew that it was a little girl from Renesas.
"Renesas, are you all right? Why, Jasmine isn't with you?"
"Brother Guzi, are we okay...... When she heard that you were coming, Jasmine immediately disappeared. Maybe she didn't want to see someone!" Resa gave Lucifer a blank look.
Lucifer couldn't sit still! He jumped up from his seat and ran out the door.
The old hero smiled: "You don't know yet, Renesa is already the leader of the young people in the town, and he brings a large group of stunned young men to help me solve the case all day long. ”
"I knew you couldn't be idle!" Gu Shiyu smiled: "Gabriel, you and Lucifer will stay here and assist this old hero and Ressa in solving the case, this is your first mission since you acted alone, I believe you should be able to do it well!"
"What about Jasmine?"
"Jasmine, when I go back, I'll just talk to Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine. ”
"Good!" Gabriel jumped to his feet, and whether Ressa agreed or not, he took her hand and ran out.
Gu Shiyu looked at their backs with a smile. Renesa seemed to have slowly accepted Gabriel, which made a stone in his heart finally fall to the ground.
"Guzi, where are we going?" Abigail remembered his promise to Gu Shiyu, who promised Gu Shiyu to build the artifact Angel Sword for Princess Catherine.
"Let's go to Standwick Castle, where Princess Catherine is leading her army against Fiona's demon legions. ”
"Venerable Chosen One, I think you should go to Tekken Castle!" said the old hero, "Princess Catherine and Her Majesty the Regent Laurel are there now!"
"What?" Gu Shiyu was taken aback: "Why did they go to Iron Fist Castle? Could it be that King Kendall led his troops to defeat them?"
"That's not it!" the old hero shook his head, "I heard that His Majesty Regent Laurel and Princess Catherine don't want to see Erathia divided, and they have been trying to find a way to reach an agreement with King Kendall. His Majesty the Regent of Laurel personally went to Iron Fist Castle to negotiate, but instead of negotiating, he was imprisoned by King Kendall. ”
"Huh?!How can this be?"
"It is said that His Majesty the Regent Laurel intended to assassinate King Kendall...... But what the truth is, I'm afraid only Kendall knows in his heart!"
"This is really bad!" Gu Shiyu couldn't sit still: "Then why did Catherine go to Iron Fist Castle?"
"Princess Catherine went to Ironfist Castle to rescue her mother, Laurel. Hearing that she had reached an agreement with King Kendall, King Kendall agreed to abdicate immediately, relinquish the throne to Princess Seya, and release Her Royal Highness Regent Laurel. ”
"This is good, this is good!" Gu Shiyu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "My wife is really capable!"
"Venerable Chosen One, I have to tell you that for the sake of the unity of Erathia, and in order to defend against the powerful invaders, Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine had to agree to King Kendall's conditions......"
"I knew that this stubborn old man would never give in so easily. What conditions did he make?"
The old hero looked at Gu Shiyu and said, "When you first went to Iron Fist Castle, Kendall said that he would marry Princess Saiya to you, but you managed to escape...... He may have thought he had lost face, so he demanded that you kneel at his feet and beg him to agree to marry Princess Saiya to you!"
Everyone was stunned!
"I think Kendall is completely confused! doesn't he know that Guzi has married Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine?" Tanan was the first to come to his senses.
The old hero said: "I think Kendall's intentions are nothing more than two things, one is to save his face, and the other is that if the Chosen One marries Princess Saiya, the people of the two camps will really unite and achieve a lasting peace." ”
"I think he's crazy! How could he ruin the happiness of others for the sake of his own daughter?" said York.
The old hero continued: "He's not crazy, I see he's very sober! As long as things are in his favor, he won't care about whether he will break up other people's families! With the noble Chosen One guarding his daughter, Princess Saiya can sit on the throne and he himself can abdicate very decently!"
"This ...... This is completely messed up!" Gu Shiyu's face turned red, and he finally held back a sentence.
Everyone looked at him sympathetically.
The old hero sighed, "This may be a bad thing, but it seems that there is only one way to solve the current impasse in Erathia." ”
Gu Shiyu looked at Tanan, who knew that Tanan actually nodded. He immediately looked at York for help, and the York actually agreed with this opinion.
"Oh my God, what kind of friends have I made?! I don't think you're my friends at all, but Kendall's old man!" Gu Shiyu held his head in both hands.
Tanan smiled bitterly, "What then, we can help you and Princess Catherine defeat King Kendall, but we will have to wait for enough dead people before we can turn back and fight the invader Fiona." By that time, I estimate that more than half of Erathia has fallen!"
York has always been a pragmatist. He also said: "I think this is very good! You have picked the two most brilliant flowers of the Ironfast family, and I don't know how many men in the world will be jealous of you!"
Gu Shiyu pounced. York was startled, thinking that Gu Shiyu wanted to come forward and hit him, who knew that Gu Shiyu just grabbed his hand and begged him: "Old York, you are the only one of the three of us who is not married...... Why don't you go and propose to that old man Kendall, you are the king of the savages of Krurod and the chosen one, and Kendall will definitely agree!"
"I wish I could have such a good thing!" Yorke shook his head, "Regardless of whether Princess Saiya agrees or not, if I marry Princess Saiya, Kendall will definitely ask me to send a large army to assist him in destroying the army of Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine." As a last resort, I might say yes. Because only in this way can Princess Saiya's dominance in Erathia be consolidated. If you wish, I'd be happy to propose. ”
"What the hell is the war?!What does this matter to me?!"
Everyone looked at this thunderous man in silence.
"Abigail, if a king wants you to leave your wife and children and marry another woman, and he promises you money and status for this, will you agree?"
Abigail looked at his wife, then at little Raphael, shook his head and said, "For me, the two of them are all I have, and I will never abandon them!"
"Yes! Catherine is my whole world, how could I abandon her to marry Seia? If I coveted honor and status, I would have agreed to Eric's request as early as when I was on the Island of Light and become the generalissimo of the Isle of Light! If I coveted honor and status, when I came to Erathia, I would have promised the old man to marry Princess Saia, why would I wait until now?"
Although Princess Saiya is also quite good...... She and Catherine are still and motionless, Princess Saiya is gentle and demure, and Princess Catherine is enthusiastic and unrestrained...... If you can sit back and enjoy the blessings of all people, then you can be very good!
But is it possible? The two princesses are so noble, this is simply impossible! If she is forced to marry Princess Saiya, according to Princess Catherine's arrogant temper, she will definitely leave her far away and spend the rest of her life forgetting her pain......
What about Princess Saiya? If she refuses to marry again, then what will she do?! Princess Saiya is her savior, she only met twice, and she saved me twice!
"Kendall, you damn old man! I'm cursing you! Don't you want me to be a sinner?" Gu Shiyu roared.
Because he mistook Princess Luna for his first love, Red Leaves, Gu Shiyu had already hurt Catherine once, and he must not hurt her a second time!
What a good person Princess Saiya is! Gu Shiyu had already inadvertently hurt her once, and he had been very guilty for this, so did he want to hurt her again?
"Oh my God, why don't you just let me die!"
