45. Seven-limbed monster
"It's so cute. Dimitri somehow said what he wanted, and then found that the atmosphere froze.
Lycia was looking at the top of his head with a puzzled look.
With 35 percent favorability, how credible is it to say that it's really cute. ’
"I mean, the lace on your skirt feels cute, and Tata should fit that too. "Dimitori felt that his ears were hot, and he shouldn't have explained, isn't it a very normal thing to praise a lady for being cute?
"Is this this?" Lycia put the teacup down, then raised her hand and pointed the white lace of the cuff of her sleeve to Dimitri's face, though she didn't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had suddenly pulled from something serious to his clothes.
"Hmm. Dimitoli frowned.
The wind on the river blew in through the breathable windows, and Lycia was looking down at her cuffs in confusion when she heard a thump from the bottom of the boat.
"Your Highness, did you hear anything?" Lycia stood up nervously.
Dimitri, who had appreciated Lycia's remarkable hearing, picked up the long sword that was placed on the head of the bed. "What sound?"
"Something kept knocking on the bottom of the boat. Lycia pushed the door open. "Troy!" she walked to the deck and looked around, but there was no sight of the Duke of Troy on patrol.
"What about Troy?" Dimitri followed, Troy's heraldic strength was not a battle intensity, and if there were any strange beasts in the Bei River, it would be difficult for him to deal with them.
And at this moment, Troy, who was dragged to the bottom of the water by the seven-limbed monster, was desperately holding his breath and kicking the hull of the ship.
Viscount Fudomi walked out around the tassel cloak, she was a frost coat of arms, and she didn't seem to be so afraid of the cold. "What's wrong? Good day, Your Highness the Prince, Miss Lycia. ”
Troy was gone, and Lycia said she had just heard a noise from the bottom of the boat. Dimitorius found Lycia leaning against the railing, half of her body leaning out. "Danger!"
Lycia had barely turned around when the seven-limbed tentacles were already speeding around her neck, pulling her down.
'As long as it is a boat on the river, there is always a part of the shipwreck. Lycia choked on a mouthful of water, and then her head was still quietly analyzing the problem.
'It's too cold. ’
I couldn't breathe. ’
I'm probably dead. ’
'Help!'
Then, Lycia's mind began to mess up, and her body began to instinctively try to survive.
Fudomi attacks the water with frost, but the seven-limbed monster is so fast that it disappears after a while.
"Orlando!" Dimitri's eyes watched the movement on the surface of the water, and then shouted to a man with the heraldic of the fish to come out. "Go down and save people. ”
Orlando's eyes widened and he rubbed the bulging flesh of his cheeks, his skin still chapped and red. "Your Highness, I can't swim!"
"Heraldic power!" Dimitrius almost roared.
"Oh, yes, yes, I can move in the water, okay, let Orlando see which angle is the right way to jump." Just as Orlando walked with his clumsy steps, ready to jump.
The seven-limbed monster held a wet Lycia and slowly approached the edge of the ship.
Lycia didn't expect that when she was about to faint, she had a strong sense of survival, but maybe it was Hexagram's own consciousness that saved her.
The six-pointed star appeared squarely above the head of the seven-limbed monster, and if you ignore the bruised skin, judging from the shape alone, a monster that looks like an octopus with a star on top is actually a little cute.
Troy, on the other hand, was not so lucky, floating on the water, struggling to swim around the seven-limbed monster towards the boat.
"What coat of arms can control a beast?" Orlando opened his thick lips, too surprised to control his balance, and fell to the deck.
Everyone who came out of the room was amazed by this scene.
The beast carefully lowered Lycia back into the boat, and then used one of its limbs to wave softly at Lycia.
Dimitri unfastened his cloak and placed it on Lycia's shoulder.
Troy was also rescued from the water. "Fortunately, I'm in perfect shape. ”
Fudomi draped his tasseled cloak over Troy.
Lycia looked at the seven-limbed monster that refused to leave. 'Isn't my six-pointed star coming back?'
Everyone also looked at the seven-legged monster with wariness, and Dimitoli ordered to speed up and shake off the huge beast.
However, seven hours have passed, and everyone has begun to gradually get used to the fact that no matter how fast or slow, the seven-limbed monster can't get rid of it.
"Lycia, you are so beautiful that even the beasts fall for it. Fudomi gently brushed Lycia's hair.
But what the latter thought in his heart was that it was not beauty, it was a six-pointed star that could not be obtained.
Lycia thought bitterly that she had lost an entire six-pointed star because of this strange beast in the river.
But fortunately, she observed it a few times, and the brightness of the six-pointed star above the head of the seven-limbed monster did not weaken.
Even when she stepped onto the deck, the beast would gently pounce on her a few times.
After three days of driving on the Bey River, the outstanding aristocratic students of the Thorn Academy finally arrived in the downstream town, Sufaro.
Lycia helped Tata down the deck and stepped onto the ground for a long time.
Unable to reach the shallows, the seven-legged monster sank to the bottom of the river after making eye contact with Lycia for a long time.
'Ah, my six-pointed star, now even the captured beasts are gone, and they are given in vain. Lycia sighed, and that was all there was to it.
But fortunately, I was finally able to sleep peacefully on the shore.
Although Sufaro is a small town with a riverside port, the local economy has been sluggish due to the rampant breeding of foreign animals.
When we arrived at the port at noon, there was no trade going on at all, except for the lord and his retinue who had come to meet him, and a sand mining ship anchored on the shore.
Dark clouds were shrouded and it looked like it was going to rain.
Lycia was helped into the carriage by the servants of the lord's house, and Tatar looked much better than when she was on the boat.
"Ah, this young lady, really. "An old woman with sunken cheeks, sagging, deep eye sockets, small pupils, and many whites of her eyes was praising Lycia exaggeratedly.
Tata tilted his head slightly and smiled. "Yes, ma'am, this is the pearl of the Thorn Empire, Miss Lycia. ”
The Lord's wife held Tata's hand, but her eyes kept looking at Lycia. "What a beautiful girl, as beautiful as a princess. ”
Lycia was never too indifferent to those who complimented her, although the look made her a little uncomfortable.
"Thank you, ma'am. ”
"My son is about your age. The lady of the city lord finally switched to the main topic.
The smiles on Tata and Lycia's faces immediately retracted.
"We only have one son, so the title of earl will surely be passed on to him in the future, and he is very good, and at the age of eleven he can catch a rabbit alive. ”
Lycia and Tata looked at each other and smiled, there are some children among the nobles who have heraldic powers, but they are not sent to study at the heraldic academy, the Thorn Empire is too big, and not everyone is willing to send the heir of the family to a distant place for eight years.
