Chapter 11: The Prince's Choice
Anyone could tell from my difficult steps that I was like a lamb to the slaughter, a little cultivator who couldn't use magic, and Hale had put the stakes of his team's lives on me. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoActually, Hale didn't have a better choice, because there were so many enemies that I felt like I couldn't support it if I walked around again.
"You. "I pointed weakly at a smaller savage, who was also a little wounded, but had already bandaged it, and I couldn't help but regret it when I saw that I had chosen him, and his eyes shot like a wolf's.
"Here, Gries!" the cyclops stomped into the field, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the surrounding wildlings quickly gave way to a circle and shouted in unison, "Les, Sils・・・・・・"
My mind was blank, the puppet seemed to follow the savage into the circle, after the two of us entered, everyone around was quiet, but there were still savages chuckling, saying that this martial god decision is not a sacred ritual among the savages?
"You, with a weapon?" said the cyclops, pointing at me, and I was so ashamed that I realized that I was still holding the Hoganstaff, and hurriedly took out the "bee sting", and the wild people around me burst into laughter when they saw that I finally understood.
"Saul Arthur, don't disgrace the treasure hunters. Hale said solemnly, the first time I had ever heard him call me so formally.
The wild man shook his head with a strange scythe-like sword, and then pounced with a loud scream. His weapon was far longer than my dagger, and I had to raise my shield to fight it. With the sound of the bell, I only felt a sharp pain spread from my arm like an electric current throughout my body, and I almost dropped my shield by mistake.
I took my shield, and the savage's blade came in front of me again, and this time it smashed my shield directly. The surrounding wildlings let out a cheer, and Su Man and the others closed their eyes in pain. The wild grin at me, baring its mutilated teeth, and the strange weapon slashed straight at my throat.
Is this the end of it?I desperately raised the bee sting for a final block, everyone was waiting for my dagger to fly out with the blood in the sky, I remembered Hale's words, glared, did not take a step back, and waited for the harvest of death.
A strange crunch shook my eardrums, and pieces of iron flew against my scalp, but it wasn't my sword, it was his.
Everyone looked at the savage with half a weapon in amazement, my sting almost escaped just now, but I held on to it, and I didn't disgrace the treasure hunter. The savage looked at the half piece of iron in his hand in a daze, he was stupid, I am not stupid, what I am holding in my hand is the sharp weapon of the famous headhunter Fike, how can the pig iron in the hand of the savage be compared with it. The ecstasy of resurrection quickly swept through my heart, and I rushed towards the wild man with the last of my strength, the bee sting in my hand piercing his chest with ease, smoother than cutting tofu.
The wildling's eyes slipped from the tip of my sword in disbelief, and I gasped and looked around. The cyclops didn't know what to say, they made way for us, and there was no one to stop them, only respectful eyes and tall stance.
I sleepwalked out of the encirclement of the savages, and soon the rain stopped, and I tried to make the way up the mountain by the dim light of the fire.
"Go left, Thor. "Hale's voice sounded behind me, and there was a power in that calm voice, a power beyond life and death, a power that belonged only to the treasure hunters.
The line walked for a while before cheering, and people came to hug me, and of course I bared my teeth and cried out in pain.
"A hidden magician. Second-Order Knight Quinton said with a smile.
"That sword is so sharp, Thor fell directly into the wild man's arms, haha," said his colleague Mahoney.
Of course, we didn't rejoice for long, because there were only sixteen of us left, and in addition to the five of Gavin, there were only nine treasure hunters left. There are six others that have not been introduced: Ansel the crossbow swordsman, Kinsey "The Maniac", Paige the warrior and doctor, Yuna the huntress, Tyrone "Shadow of the Blade", and Sears the leopard man. They are all tried and tested warriors, accustomed to sacrifice and suffering.
After a night of hard fighting, we slowly walked towards the Tongtian Pass, although we were very tired, but we didn't dare to stop, who knows if we will encounter another group of savages, they will not admit the previous Martial God Decision.
"Something is watching over us. Quincy told Hale about the situation.
Hale sighed, "Let them see, we can't escape." ”
The new situation seems to have poured cold water on us, the air is getting colder and colder, if it is bearable in normal times, but now the physical and mental exhaustion is almost crushing us.
Turning a rock, we saw the highest pass to the sky: the towering peaks on both sides seemed to have been breached by a huge force, and the wind was desperately blowing down from it, and a huge figure stood in the cold light of the sky that had not yet dawned, like a god.
"What kind of monster is that?" I muttered, and an eagle's chirp seemed to answer me from the shadows.
"Giant Eagle, but it's too bloated, isn't it?" Yuna asked.
"No, it's a griffon. Su Man replied lightly. Jiawen, who was next to him, heard the voice and had already quickened his pace.
"Gavin ・・・・・・," Hale shouted confusedly.
"Let him go. Suman said.
As we approached, we saw the legendary griffon, with its head covered with white feathers, its limbs a dull red, its strong black claws, yellow-brown fur, and its wings with golden feathers that exuded a sense of dignity. Next to the griffin stood a man, his slender body and long hair almost mistaking me for an elf, but he didn't have the elves' signature long ears, and human blood still took over in his body.
"Sie, my friend. Garvin walked up and gave Sie a big hug, hugging his childhood friend.
"May Elise (the god of nature) bless you, Gavin. Xiyi's deep voice was still pleasant, and he didn't know how many women in the imperial city had charmed.
Jiawen let go of Xi Yi and read a special meaning from his sky blue pupils, only then did he realize that Xi Yi should not appear here so abruptly, he should be cultivating at Tianliu Cloud Peak, so he asked, "Did something happen?"
"Your Majesty, he ・・・・・・ gone to meet with the spirits. ”
Jiawen felt dizzy, his father was fine when he left, why did it take less than a month・・・・・・
"The envoys of the Duchy of Loes brought the Snow Giant Ape, and His Majesty insisted on fighting against the Snow Giant Ape despite the dissuasion of the ministers, and unfortunately died. When Sie saw us enter, he nodded politely at us, and then dragged Gavin to the other side to talk, leaving the griffon to watch us warily.
"I don't think it's going to be good news. Quinton whispered, and Suman also watched the two of them leave with a worried face.
"Gavin, you have to make a choice. Siyi said as he stared at Gavin. What is the choice of the Western medicine of the natural way of Ghaeus, in the country of Phip, if it is the old king, his children must rush to the round table within a month, if they do not report to the meeting, they are deemed to have renounced the inheritance qualifications. Right now, the royal brother Heitian is locked in the dungeon, and the royal sister Vera has died in the Zhigoo clan, and she is the first heir, but if he goes back, then who will find the heavenly grass?
"Carl and the South ・・・・・・・"
"They've already reported to the meeting, and you have twenty-five days left. ”
Jiawen was silent, he vaguely felt that if he went back, I was afraid that things would not be too simple.
Si saw his worries, knew he was worried about Karl's problems, and said, "The Knights of the Holy Lance are loyal to you, Gavin. ”
Gavin looked back and saw a group of people gathered around the griffon, covered in bruises but full of energy, cautious and calm Hale, sharp and alert Quincy, and extremely lucky Thor・・・・・・
"Siyi, thank you, I don't think I belong to the court, Karl is the right place to be. ”
