Chapter 17: The Tiger's Den

Alice and I held hands and walked among the butterflies. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Under the sunlight, her white gauze dress looks particularly charming, reflecting her angelic smile, which is really inextricable.

Suddenly, a group of Armenian soldiers appear to take Alice away. I chased as hard as I could, but I couldn't catch her.

I woke up from the nightmare, looked at my hands, and sighed helplessly.

In the afternoon, I asked Alice, "If you like me, would you like to marry me?"

But her maid Lisa replied first: "Even if I like it, I can't marry you." Our young lady has already made a marriage contract with the prince of Armenia, and today the prince has come to see our young lady. It's just that the young lady doesn't like the pretentious prince very much, so she secretly runs out to go shopping. ”

"So, don't you like the prince, and why do you want to marry him?" I asked Alice, holding her hand tightly.

"Father is probably trying to protect the people of Dablin Island. I didn't know what bad things the Armenians wanted to do, so I negotiated with them. But I became their victim, and I had to marry the prince...... Actually, I think you're better than that prince...... A hundred times stronger......" Alice blushed a little.

"I'm also Tollem's general, a rabble, and I'm not afraid of them. If I really want to protect the people here, I can do it, so why bother with those Armenians?"

"But the Armenians are all brave and good at fighting, and they are not easy to deal with, but I am afraid of you alone...... It's a drop in the bucket. Alice lowered her head again.

"It's getting late, miss, and we should go back. Lisa urged Alice.

"Then we'll go back first. Thank you for your hospitality. Alice saluted and prepared to leave.

"Then I'll send you back. ”

Alice hesitated for a moment and said, "No, let's go back by ourselves." ”

The two of them just left, leaving me alone in the doorway and staring blankly.

It all felt like a nightmare. It's the first time I've been so attracted to a girl, but that's what happened. I couldn't sleep anymore, so I just changed my clothes and went out for a walk.

As soon as I got out of the house, I saw a group of soldiers patrolling the street, and they seemed to be looking for something. What are these soldiers doing on this big night? They are also dedicated enough to stick to their posts at night. I ignored them, and I was going to go to the black shop to sit down and exchange some information or something.

When I got there, I pushed the door straight and went in. But through the moonlight, I could see that the store was full of debris, and all kinds of goods were spilled on the ground, as if someone had smashed the store. I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet. I was about to leave when the owner of the black shop stopped me.

"Young man, you dare to come. The snakes here are looking for you all over the streets, and when they saw that you used crystals, they became angry with me and smashed my shop. If you want to live, leave quickly. ”

I gave him all the dragon scales I had on my body, as compensation for his losses, and asked for some information by the way.

"What's the origin of this snake, so arrogant, he hasn't been locked up by the lord here. ”

"The serpent of the land was a merchant from Amenia, who had come here to do business. But later, Amenia threatened the lord here and forced him to trade with Armenia with an army, so the Armenians here were lawless with the support of the army. But the people here are not martial arts practitioners, and they can't beat the group of Armenian soldiers at all, and those who resist are all killed by them, so Armenia has been arrogant here for a long time, but no one can take care of them. "Merchants all over the world are ordinary faces.

"I see. Guys, what other darts and needles or anything like that, I want some. In the case of some poisons, the kind that will work the fastest. ”

"I'll see if there's anything else I can use, take them out together, and you pick and choose. If this poison wants to be strong, it is better to mix poisons. I'll get you some of my homemade poison mixture. ”

There are some holes in the strap around my waist for darts and flying needles, just enough to store some hidden weapons. With these hidden weapons, I want to break into the lair of the snake alone.

I smeared all the hidden weapons with poison, dried them, pinned them to my waist, inquired about the dwelling place of the serpent, and set out at once.

The shopkeeper told me that the nest of the snake was in a cave. This hole is easy to find, but there are a lot of guards outside the door, and it looks a little bit of itself, and they may have been soldiers. I flew a few hidden weapons and hit them in the neck, and several guards at the door immediately fell, it seems that this poison is good. I hid my breath and crept into the cave.

The cave is a bit intricate, but with the wind in the cave, you can probably find a way to the depths.

There were basically no people along the way, and I had some ominous premonitions, maybe they all gathered together.

Walking and walking, I walked to the hall inside. The hall was full of people, all drinking and eating meat, and many of them were dressed in soldiers' clothes, and they didn't look like local soldiers, but eighty percent of them were Armenian soldiers. It's over, it's the Armenian Army's lair.

In the crowd, I saw the big man from yesterday. Beside him, I saw Alice and Lisa tied to a pillar! The big man recognized it at first glance, and slapped the table hard, and the hall fell silent.

"Boy, you dare to come here, you really eat the heart of a bear and a leopard! ”

I was immediately surrounded, and it seemed inevitable that I was going to have a big fight. I pulled out the short knife at my waist and used the crystal to glow blindly. While they were blocking the light with their hands, I quickly took advantage of the loophole and ran around the hall, throwing all the torches at the pile.

Those who were set on fire scattered and fled, and the light in the hall could no longer reach all corners. I gathered my breath and quietly hid in the shadows.

"Stinky boy, you come out for me quickly. If they don't come out, I'll be rude to them!" the big man pulled out his knife and pointed it at Alice's face.

This person is really cheap enough, he has no ability to use women as a blackmail. But I can't just watch him hurt Alice.

"I'll count to three, and if you don't come out, I'll take her under the knife!

I rushed towards him, but the place where I was hiding was too far away for him to run to with three counts. Seeing him fall with a knife, I really wanted to be able to get in front of Alice in one step and block this knife.

Suddenly, I tripped over someone and lost my balance. Seeing that his knife was about to fall on Alice's face, I was still a dozen steps away, and it seemed that I couldn't catch up.

For a moment, Alice's smile and her slender hands flashed through my mind. I want to hold her hand like this, I want to protect her smile, I want to be with her...... I couldn't hold back the tears.

Time stood still in an instant.

"Do you want power?" a deep voice came out of nowhere, lingering in my ears.

"Yes, of course!"

"Are you willing to use your strength to protect the peace of this world?"

I don't know how to answer. I've never thought like that, and now that I'm asked, I'm going to think about it. The days of fantasy have been experienced, and there is nothing to pursue. Now I want to protect Alice's smile, but it's so difficult.

"I do!"

"Then please keep your promise. My power will also be available to you as you keep your promises. ”

The dagger in my hand glowed and gradually changed its appearance. The knife had become exactly the same as the most useful weapon I had ever imaginedβ€”still a short knife, but the blade had become smoother and the hilt more comfortable.

Time passes.

I kicked the ground hard, and in an instant, I was next to Alice. Before I could react, the knife had already subconsciously blocked Dahan's knife. I immediately punched him in the chin, and he threw the knife, covered his chin, and took a few steps backwards.

"Kill him for me!" shouted the big man angrily.

With a slight slash of my knife, the rope that bound them was broken. Turning my head, I saw a large group of soldiers rushing towards me, and I swung in the air, as if cutting through the water in the water, and the blade cut through the air, creating a chopping wave that cut off their armor at once.

But when I looked back at Alice, I saw that the big man had Alice's throat in his arm, and a knife in his other hand, which was on Alice's neck.

"Put down your arms!, or I'll be rude to her!" the big man's voice trembled a little, and he probably could do anything. But he was still too weak, and the moment I caught him retreating, I turned into a black shadow, instantly moved in front of his eyes, and slashed several times at great speed, slitting his throat and cutting off his arm. I put my arms around Alice and held her in my arms.

The big man took a few steps back and fell to the ground. The people around them were so frightened that they took several steps back, and some of them were already shouting and fleeing outside.

But I really can't look at this group of Armenia. I don't know how many bad things they have done, and today I will wash their lair in blood.

I don't know how many wailings, cries, and shouts I heard in this cave that night, but I didn't think about it anymore, but I turned into a black shadow again and again, slaughtering in the shadow of this sword and sword. The Armenians need no mercy, thinking of the kind villagers of that little village, of the countless boats that have been overturned by water dragons, of the people who have been slain on Dablin Island, of the humiliation that Alice has just suffered, and that the knife in my hand unconsciously takes their lives.

By the time there were only three living people left in the room, the blood had reached the shoes. Alice's white dress had been dyed red, and I smiled at her reluctantly. When I looked at her again, I saw a slight hint of fear in her eyes. I turned into a black shadow, came to her, hugged her, and whispered in her ear, "No one will embarrass you anymore." Then he kissed her on the lips.

At first, they tried to push me away. But unconsciously, she got away with me and enjoyed the impulse of this moment.

Apparently, they were captured by the Armenians on their way back. If I hadn't broken into this tiger's den alone, I don't know how she would have been humiliated.

After the kiss, she fell asleep. I carried her and walked out of the hole and back to my mansion.

The next morning, I woke up early. When I woke up, Alice was lying next to me. I thought I had a dream and slapped myself a few times. Looking at her sleeping appearance, I believed it.

Alice also woke up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at me, and suddenly screamed.

I hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Okay, it's okay, it's all over." ”

She stopped screaming, but cried in my arms.

After breakfast with her, we changed our clothes and prepared to go to her house to meet the lord.

The lord's palace is also on the hill, but in a better place.

Soon, we arrived in front of the palace. The palace is much worse than the royal palace in Axel, but it is one of the best buildings on the island.

Guided by the soldiers, I took Alice by the hand and entered the palace together.

As soon as we arrived in the hall, we were instantly surrounded by soldiers. A gorgeously dressed man walked over, I guess the lord.

"Come on, kill this daring man for me!"

"Father, please, don't do this!

The lord was stunned for a moment. It was a little strange that this came out of Alice's mouth.

"Father, he alone killed all the Armenians on the island, and your soldiers could not stop him at all, but only increased their sacrifices. ”

"But what should I do with this? Now that I have offended Armenia, and my daughter has been abducted by this stinky boy, how can I be good?" the lord sighed as he covered his head with his hands.

"What's so difficult about this? If the Armenians dare to come, I will kill one of them, and even if their general comes, they will not want to return alive. "I'm talking big again, but it's not okay to say that at this time.

"You, how can you alone be worthy of the magicians of Armenia......"

I turned into a black shadow and appeared in front of the lord in an instant. He was startled and quickly took a few steps back. I didn't give him a respite, and I turned into a black shadow and appeared in front of him. He sat on the ground, his hands shaking. I smiled and reached out to pull him up.

"Now you should believe me. I smiled.

"Hey, it looks like I'm getting old too. Today's young people are so capable, and I should also retire to my old age. Why don't I leave this island to you. ”

"No, don't, I don't have the skills. This kind of thing makes me think about it, so forget it. But it's good to fight and kill me, and with me, no one wants to attack here. ”

"Good. Good daughter, do you like him. ”

"Actually, the first time I met him...... Kind of like. Later, he saved me twice, so I decided to marry him. ”

The lord patted my hand and said, "Since my daughter wants to marry you, then you must treat her well." Plus, it's up to you to protect the island. ”

"Definitely, definitely. ”

A few days later, the lord gave us a grand wedding. Probably a traditional wedding here, I have never seen such a ceremony, after all, in Oasis City, only merchants and nobles will hold a grand wedding event. Then, as a matter of course, Alice married into my mansion.

A few days after the wedding, the king of Axel sent a congratulatory gift, gold, silver and jewelry, and he also sent a gem-embedded left shoulder pad, which I thought was good, after all, it was the first time he sent me crystals.

Soon after, due to the stalemate between Oshur and Armenia, Armenia did not send any more people here, and all the previous treaties were torn up by me, and trade was cut off for a while. But the merchants of the world are all the same, and later the specialties of Armenia still appeared on this island, and I didn't say much.

She and I took a good walk around the island, looked at the scenery everywhere, and finally returned to the house and started our own research. I didn't expect her to do some research on the plants and seafood here, and I happened to study, after all, I hadn't seen much of the box of potions I bought before.

After a few months of such days, I was summoned by the king of Axel. But this is a trip with Alice again, after all, she has never left Dablin Island since she was born, and she can't help but be a little curious about Axel.

However, the lord wants us to go and return quickly, after all, there is no one to guard Dablin Island, and if Armenia bites back, it will not fall. I told him that if there was any emergency, it would be good to ask the king of Torem for help, and who told him to call me away.

Soon we arrived at Axel, and without resting for a moment in our mansion by the sea, we went together to meet the king.

"Raphael, after not seeing each other for a while, he returned with a beauty. Yours is the real thing. ”

"Alright, don't make fun of me, let's get down to business. ”

I asked Charlie to take Alice around the palace.

"Is there another dragon this time? I'm fed up. ”

"Not this time, it's the Oasis City you once wanted to go to, and now it's mutiny. ”

"Mutiny?

"It seems that someone has discovered the temple, learned how to summon demons, and is preparing to take the demons to conquer Axel. ”

"So far, they dream. ”

"Yes, they won't be able to get to Axel, but the lives of the people of Oasis City are getting worse every day. Your group of friends from the slums are going to have a hard time. ”

"Then why did they mutiny?"

"Because of the Armenians. ”
