Chapter 8: Return to the World
Since the end of the Shangri-La War, there have been many important events. Nier's trip to Huaguo Mountain, Rouge's re-emergence of the rivers and lakes, Lancelot's awakening, and Chiresse's and Nier's exploration of Termination Mountain have a great impact on the current situation, but not many people know that these things are happening, and most people's eyes are paying attention to the invasion war between Reyns and Altino...... Although in the eyes of the heads of both sides, those war reports were as important as the lace news of the nobles.
The five-color flag on the Reynes side is indeed strong, in comparison, the Eltino army, which has been consumed by frequent infighting, is inferior in terms of fighting spirit and actual materials, and it is not unreasonable that the two armies will be defeated and lost in a short period of time.
The Reyns army, led by the five-color flag, broke through the local defenders of El Tieno all the way, broke the city every city, and pulled out the village, leaving only a minimum of troops to ensure the smooth flow of back roads and supply lines, and the main force was to quickly absorb the new soldiers, like an incomparably sharp arrow, shooting straight towards the center.
Altino's local army undoubtedly did not have the ability to stop this strong force, but Altino's regular troops did not move. Hülegü, who held the power of Eltino, ordered the army not to go out of the capital, turning a blind eye to the situation outside the national capital, although he did not explain his intentions, but all his staff believed that he intended to preserve his strength and let the vast territory drag down the Reyns people.
There was once a chance that the Reyns army would be caught in a dilemma of being flanked from both sides, when Gong Jin ordered the Second Army to retreat from Liberty City, turn to attack the back of the Reins army, and cooperate with the Third Army in the middle capital to attack back and forth, and the enemy could be disintegrated in a single battle.
However, the god of fate always seemed to be partial to Reins, and when the Second Army was about to engage Reins, news came of a major enemy invasion of The Hague. The Hague was originally Gongjin's territory, and it was invaded by the old enemy, burned, killed, and plundered, which was exactly the duty he should assume, not to mention that most of the soldiers of the Second Army were born in The Hague, and when they heard that their hometown was in trouble and their relatives were being plundered, they could not fight with the Reins army at this time, so they had to change direction, give up the confrontation with the Reins army, change direction first, and go straight to The Hague.
Without the obstacle of this strong enemy, the attack of the Reins army was even smoother. Originally, Reyns was a wealthy country, and the materials accumulated over the years were more than enough to cope with all kinds of war expenses, and there was no need to burn and loot along the way, mobilize materials, and would not arouse the disgust of the local people, so it was very smooth to attack the central capital, and there was only a small distance left, and it was about to attack the central capital.
For Eltino, the severity of the situation reminded people of the Ghost Rebellion a hundred years ago, when there was such a thrilling situation, but Hülegü did not take this crisis to heart at all, and even asked the princes to lead troops to serve the king, but did not issue a half-letter, and his calm and stable attitude surprised everyone around him.
"What's there to be afraid of? Rather than ask for something that doesn't work, it's better to wait. One reinforcement that can really come in handy is enough. ”
The attitude shown by Hülegü was very confident and determined, and it could even be said that he completely ignored the existence of the enemy and continued with all kinds of entertainment that he liked, and if it were not for his past achievements, as a basis for reassurance, these performances alone would seem very similar to the actions of the Dead King.
And my current status is the prince of the East Palace, the temporary regent of the country, not the emperor, so even if the country dies, I am not the king of the country. ”
Driving his favorite luxury sports car and wearing sunglasses, Hülegü easily went to the National Theater to prepare to enjoy the latest celebrity singers. His snow-white tuxedo and silver sports car became a strong source of light on the street, and passers-by on both sides couldn't help but look sideways, and some enthusiastic girls even ran down the street, waving desperately to their beloved nobleman, hoping to get his attention.
"And there is no big deal about such a thing as the death of the country! The state is just a form, and even if the country dies, the common people will continue to exist and organize a new political system, so there is no need to make a fuss about this kind of thing. ”
Xu Liewu smiled and said: "The only people who need to worry about it are those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but the civil servants of this country are either corrupt officials or traitors, so think about it or let people perish." If this kind of bird government really collapses, the common people will be very happy, right?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked, and he couldn't fail to answer, but this ominous sentence made the guards next to him tremble when they heard it, and no one dared to say a word more, so as not to implement the crime of cursing the country.
Hülegü's two-door sports car did not run at the high speed that he usually loved, not even half of the speed it should have, not because of the road conditions, but because the sports car was surrounded on all sides by horse teams, at least more than 100 armed guards, armed with swords and horses, surrounded in the center to prevent any assassin attacks.
Although he is not close to the people, he attaches great importance to freedom and private space, and now every time he goes in and out, he is surrounded by such a large group of people, which is really a very frustrating thing, but several elders of the Medici family are worried, worried that the enemy will send assassins, and insist on sending a large group of guards to follow, so they can only feel at ease, which even Hulegu cannot dissuade.
"Well, I heard that His Majesty Lancelot of Reyns is invincible and is a first-class master in the world, this time Reyns's army is menacing, he must also be in charge of the expedition, I really hope to have the opportunity to compete with him, and divide the superiority. ”
Sitting in the sports car, Hulegu suddenly came out with this sentence, and the group of guards next to him was surprised and delighted, they had followed Hulegu for a long time, and they had never heard him say such ambitious words, and now they actually took the initiative to say that they wanted to share the level with the leader of the enemy country, could it be that they suddenly cheered up, or changed their sex?
"Your Highness, you are a golden body, how can you afford to lose, do you really want to separate yourself from that savage ape?"
"Who said I was going to be on a pitch with him?"
"This ...... Didn't you just say you wanted to compete with him?"
"I mean, if he comes, I'll send you out to fight him, and when will I say I'm going to go myself?"
Hülegü's expression of course shocked the group of guards beside him, he never imagined that he would be so valued that he would be sent to fight against the enemy king. In the battle of Shangri-La, Lancelot's reputation for being a warrior spread all over the world, although there was special publicity from the Qinglou Alliance, but he defeated Dolgon and Chires in a row, and his brilliant achievements shocked the world, and even the general public had heard of it, knowing that he was the top strongman among the heavenly warriors, and when he heard that he was going to be sent to fight against such a strongman, the guards looked at each other, as if they heard the news of their own death.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, that savage ape is very powerful, and we alone ...... That's ......."
"You also know that you alone are not his opponents? If he comes to assassinate him personally, can you stop him if he is not his opponent? Since you can't stop it, what are you doing with a bunch of people around me? Doesn't this prevent me from escaping?"
Hülegü said: "One by one, they are urging me to reorganize my armament for war, you must know that when you really fight, you will die, and those who order you to die must be the first." Even so, are you still in such a hurry to die?"
This is not the first time that the guards have heard of this kind of discourse, but they have all heard those anti-war ministers and groups say this before, and they have never heard those in power criticize the system like this, like shooting stones, and everyone can't help but be quiet at the moment, and no one knows how to speak.
This kind of silence seems to be the purpose of Hülegü, although he can speak good ways, but he is not a poisonous tongue who likes to speak harshly and take pleasure in satirizing people, as long as what he says can influence some people more and make them think, then the purpose will be achieved.
However, just as Hülegü was about to reprimand the group of guards to retreat and drive away on his own, a wonderful sound of music came from his bosom.
The sky ~ Lang Riqing, and ~ the wind is idle, but it is a pity ~ that handsome as I Gu Ying ~ self-pity;
Xiao ~ sprinkled with gold, Wen ~ Wu Shuangquan, ask the world ~ a few people like me ~ Pianpian!
This is a self-written poem that Hülegü usually likes to sing, and everyone has long heard it, but now this song has been composed into a song, and it is sung tactfully and lowly with a charming female voice, which sounds more winding than the usual chic singing.
Everyone looked at Hülegü in unison, only to see him slowly and methodically take out a small metal box from his arms, the color was silver and bright, and the protrusion at the end of the tail was shining with cold light, after the lid was opened, the music stopped, Hülegü put the small silver box to his ear and began to speak.
"Hey, is it Zhu Yan? You're lucky, I just got a new phone, you just called, you really know how to pick the time...... Huh? You just got out of the other space, and now you're coming over to Zhongdu, it's good, I'll set up a banquet for you, but I'll ask you privately, drive slowly, my senior brother doesn't understand the amorous feelings, he came too early, I'm going to be locked in my desk all day, and I can't run away at all...... What? You said you were embarrassed, I'm afraid you couldn't do it? Nonsense, every time I ask you, you haven't done it once. ”
Hülegü stopped the sports car and talked about his mobile phone as if no one was in the center of the road, and the people around him didn't understand what he was doing, but just looked at him in surprise, wondering what kind of ancient magic device this extravagant noble son was playing with again.
However, no one noticed at this time that the sky that had been clear and cloudless suddenly had a black shadow flash rapidly, and after a short obscuration of the daylight, it disappeared again, and the evil gesture, looking up from the ground, looked up like a big bat. After the bat flew through the sky, something slowly fell from the sky.
"Where am I? on the main road in Zhongdu...... What am I doing? driving my new sports car to today's opera...... Don't worry, the Reyns won't be stupid enough to assassinate me, and the other midnight mice don't have that kind of ability, and now that the weather is very good, in broad daylight, who would dare to stab me twice at such a time?"
Whether the guards around Hulegu and Zhu Yan understood the phone call or not, and they didn't know whether they should listen to these things or not, they led the horse team and surrounded Hulegu's sports car to the ground, making sure to ensure the personal safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It's just that a few people in the center of the encirclement network suddenly felt that the wind was a little strong, as if a strong wind was blowing from above, and when they looked up, they saw something falling from a high altitude, like a meteorite.
"Then let's do it first, you come back early, I'll show you my new sports car, four-wheel drive, special armor, and use your light cannon as a navigation system, it cost me a lot of gold, just wait for you, a knowledgeable person, to come back and appreciate it for me......"
Hülegü, who was concentrating on his mobile phone and showing off his new car, completely ignored the guards next to him and pointed at him with a terrifying expression, but suddenly felt a gust of wind pressing on him, and before he could react, a loud bang broke out, and a huge earthquake came from behind, and the safety system of the sports car automatically responded to the main body, and the jet seat immediately bounced Hülegü and the chair into the air.
The cutting-edge design of the white character family, as soon as the ejection seat is shot into the air, the landing device, parachute and reverse jet system are activated, so that Hülegü does not even need to leave the chair, he can land safely, and even grasp the mobile phone well, so that he can continue to talk for a long time.
However, when Hülegü saw what was in front of him clearly, it was difficult for him to continue talking. His sat-nav, four-wheel drive, silver-gray sports car, which cost a lot of gold coins, has become a pile of scrap metal in front of him, twisted and deformed steel plates, broken ceramics and glass, and screws rolling all over the ground, all represent the fact that the sports car has been completely destroyed.
"Hey, Zhu Yan...... Can you come back later, my new car...... You don't have to come back to watch it. ”
Hülegü hung up his phone and walked slowly forward, but an interesting smile appeared on his face. Although the sports car is expensive, it is only a plaything after all, and it doesn't matter if it is damaged, it does not affect the good mood of this noble man, and the reason why he is in a hurry to end the conversation is because he sees the thing in the broken copper.
The thing that fell from the sky and smashed his new car was an unconscious girl, her long hair tied in a ponytail burst out from the impact, and her slender pink legs were particularly eye-catching. Falling from such a high sky without the slightest scar on his body may seem like a miracle, but it is not surprising to a martial artist with the power of heaven to protect his body.
Hülegü was just curious why this old acquaintance, who had not met for a long time, would choose such a time to come to Zhongdu in such a way.
※※※
When Nier woke up from her coma and saw the splendid furniture around her, she suddenly wondered, because as far as she could remember, whether it was the North Gate Tianguan or Jixia, none of her several accommodations were as luxurious as this.
The soft pillows, the fragrant brocade quilts, and the furniture outside the bed are all fine mahogany, each of which is either inlaid with gold or inlaid with finger-sized pearls.
(Not Reins, so to speak...... I'm in Altino?)
This thought suddenly came to mind, Niel was taken aback, sat up from the bed, the brocade quilt slipped off, but found that she was wearing only a fleshy clothes, most of the smooth skin was exposed, her cheeks were red with shock, and she hurriedly covered the quilt again, thinking about her last memory in her head.
In the Termination Mountain, Chirez finally saw what he had been waiting for for a thousand years. The secret that has been passed down among the royal families of the Demon Realm, before the great ancestor Deep Blue Demon King became a god, left the last secret of the twelfth layer of the Heavenly Demon Gong in the Termination Mountain, and only those who have realized this secret can break through the limit of the Heavenly Demon Gong and advance their own strength to a new realm.
The barrier outside the mountain waterfall is said to have been left by the Deep Blue Demon King before his destruction, and only the blood of the Demon Realm Imperial Family, combined with the Heavenly Demon Skill, can be opened for a short time. At the beginning, the rebels of the Demon World did not want the Great Demon God King Yin Chen to obtain the secret, improve the power of the Heavenly Demon Skill, and even heal their injuries early, so they gathered to capture the Termination Mountain, hoping that one day, the heirs of Allah of Iron and Wood would be able to come to the Termination Mountain and obtain the ultimate secret of the Heavenly Demon Skill first.
Chirez failed several times in the past, and he was bent on peeking into the ultimate secret of the heavenly demons, and after finding Niel in the human world, he felt like a treasure, so he took her to the end of the mountain, but unexpectedly, after a thousand years, it was already more than one step late, and all the rebels on the end of the mountain were annihilated, and after opening the barrier of the waterfall, the mountain wall that should have been engraved with words was flattened in its entirety, leaving no trace, and there was no way to guess what was written here that day.
The thousand-year-old expectation, once in vain, was obviously not a small blow to Chires, and he didn't say anything more, and when Niel asked to return to the human realm, he agreed without thinking.
"Death for money, won't you go back with us?"
"It's free, if there is a Kowloon jade car as a means of transportation, then it's okay, if you want me to take a ride on the bat brother, I can thank you for this, and besides, I didn't hear enough intelligence this time, at least I have to get a little more money here, so I can go back!"
Carrying the Thunder Sword, Hante's expression seemed very laid-back, but Niel knew that he was working quite hard. Although I don't know how dangerous the demon capital called the Ten Thousand Demon Palace is, Nier secretly observed that Hante was injured in many places, which shows that he has been haunted in the demon world for a month, and in the process of listening to information, he has really encountered many risks, and now he is willing to continue to stay and investigate, although it is for a high reward, but there is also a friendship to help everyone.
"The most important thing is that I will try to find out what information about the ultimate secret of the Heavenly Demons. Those traitors who have been holding on to the mountain for 2,000 years may have a chance to open the barrier and learn the secret inside, if so, then they have a better chance of passing on this secret in some way when it is completely destroyed, if we ignore this, it will be too sorry for their painstaking efforts. ”
Hant spoke very quietly to Nier, not daring to make it too loud, and although Chires, who was not far away, had a stunned expression, no one could guarantee that he would suddenly wake up and go berserk.
After thanking Hunter, Niel and Chireth built a realm tunnel and returned to the human realm. Chireth had nowhere else to go, but Nier was worried about the agreement with Yan Ning, and wanted to rush to Zhongdu to meet her, Chireth had no objection to this, so he set the exit of the realm tunnel near Zhongdu, but in the process of shuttling, Nier, who was still not suitable for space transformation, fainted, Chireth was too lazy to send people to the ground properly, and as soon as he arrived in the sky above Zhongdu, after confirming the situation below, he threw people down.
If Niel didn't have a strong heavenly power body, just this impact would have been shattered, but Chirez wouldn't care about this kind of thing, and after throwing people away, he would have flapped his wings and found a place to do what he was not good at thinking.
Thinking about these things roughly, Niel is sure that she is in the middle capital first, but what exactly is this place?
"Well, here...... It's my room. ”
Answering Nell's doubts, a voice came from the side. Niel turned her head in the direction of the sound, and saw the sunlight shining through the window, and the man in white standing by the window seemed to be so shiny and dazzling, even the row of teeth he showed because of his smile was so bright and dazzling.
The sun covered her eyes, and Nier couldn't see the other party's face clearly for a while, but from the snow-white tuxedo that was almost a personal symbol, and the unique noble temperament, I am afraid that there will be no second one in the entire Wind Continent.
"Xu, Hülegü?"
"It's been a long time, Miss Nier, I've missed you since I said goodbye to the barren mountains. ”
Seeing Hülegü bowing and saluting, Nier's heart was full of indescribable feelings, when she was chased by the Hua family, he drove a sports car, met him on the barren mountains and mountains, and gave a warning, it was such a modest gesture, time was only a few years ago, but the relationship between the two and the surrounding situation changed greatly, but Nier was really emotional.
"How could you ......"
Feeling flurging, Nier unconsciously lifted the quilt and got out of bed, wanting to ask why Hülegü was here, but the skin of her arm was in contact with the cold air, and she thought of this silk obscene dress that exposed her shoulders and abdomen, which was too sexy to wear in front of naked people, and couldn't help but scream, but as soon as the scream came out, she found that her lower half Shen was dressed strangely.
Curious, she lifted the incense quilt and looked at her clothes, only to find that her legs were changed into a set of net-like black stockings at some point, and the black line mesh revealed the snowy skin......;
"You...... Are you idiots, does anyone sleep in high heels?"
Angry enough to forget the feeling of shame, Nier was like an angry female leopard, and a lunge suddenly stepped forward, striking Hulegu on the head with a heavy blow.
"Oops, it hurts!"
"The pain is deserved, honestly recruited, who helped me change into this dress? Is it you, a bold pervert?"
"Don't say that, I, Hülegü, have never been abrupt and beautiful, let alone despise a woman who looks even inferior to me. I watched Miss Nier fall from a height, as if she hadn't washed her body for many days, it was dirty and smelly, so I asked my group of maids to help you bathe and clean, as for this dress, I asked the exclusive designer to help you tailor urgently, and let the maidservants change it for you. ”
Hülegu explained in a dignified manner, Nier had already believed ninety percent in her heart, recalling that when she was outside Siam City, this Kaizi also kept saying that beauty rode horses and ruined the beauty, so he insisted on sending himself a carriage, and now he ordered someone to tailor new clothes for himself, also for the same reason, but his taste is sometimes really ......
Through Hülegü's explanation, Niel knew that she was currently in the Altino Palace, and she was really annoyed to think that Chirez had thrown herself from the sky like garbage, but now that she had returned to the human world, what should she do next, this point was really thoughtful. He had disappeared since the First World War in Shangri-La, and Reyns's family and friends must have been worried and had to send them a message to let them know.
"Don't worry about that, I know Miss Niel will have this need, and I've already done it for you. ”
"Oh, what did you do?"
"You are a dignified Heavenly Rank Martial Artist, I only have a weak Realm Cultivation, just before I came here, I asked someone outside to release the news, saying that I have been held hostage by you and become your hostage, such a big news must have spread quickly, and now it may have reached Reins. ”
"You, you dog emperor, are you really crazy in your head?"
"To correct me, I am the body of the crown prince, not the dog emperor. ”
"It's all the same, you two fathers and sons are beasts!"
Hearing that Hülegu's face did not change his name, Nier was almost dumbfounded, this person now holds the real power of Eltinor's military and political affairs, even if he is the emperor, no one will object, and he is still so rash in doing things. The news of his own kidnapping will definitely shake the world, and it will spread far and wide all at once, although the goal has been achieved, is it necessary to make it so big?
"Because I'm bored, in addition to working every day, I still work, even if I finish my official duties early, there are a bunch of people worried about my safety...... Alas, if I really want a horse team, I can just be a horse thief, can I use it so much?"
Hülegü sighed, and his eyes suddenly sparkled as he looked at Nier.
"So, it's rare that Miss Nier is here, so please kidnap me and take me to the middle capital for sightseeing! I know a lot of good places, let's have fun for a few days!"
"I don't want to be angry, who wants to go sightseeing with you, the dog emperor!"
"Speaking of the Dog Emperor, in fact, my father heard that you were coming, and heard that you were beautiful and moving, and he always asked me to take you to meet him, so he made this the first stop of sightseeing!"
"Your father, Cao Shou, the ghost wants to see him, if you dare to bring him to me, I will slaughter you two fathers, sons, birds and beasts together!"
"Okay, if you don't see him, then you can accompany me...... Oh, kidnap me for sightseeing!"
"Don't!"
"Then I'll let my father come to see you, and he seems to be looking forward to it. ”
"Don't!"
"Then ......"
After repeated disputes, the terrifying incident that shocked the entire Wind Continent and the kidnapping of the crown prince of Eltino just happened.
"The Tale of the Grace" volume 12 ends
