Chapter 45: The Oath of Obedience
After sitting on the ground for a long time, Sun Chenghuan regained some strength. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Stood up.
Let out a long sigh.
The puppeteer did not go and returned, obviously because he was frightened by Sun Chenghuan.
He can understand this.
If Sun Chenghuan himself were to see that his treasures disappeared one by one so inexplicably, his heart would be painful and panicked, and now he must be worrying about how could this be......
"If you don't come out, I'll leave!" Sun Chenghuan shouted loudly.
Kind of talking to the puppeteer.
Naturally, there will be no response.
......
Early the next morning, Sun Chenghuan still got up very early.
Eating, practicing swordsmanship, like nothing happened last night, and he came back straight after coming out of Erin's.
"Big brother!
Erin's voice was energetic, meaning it was time for them to leave Onika City.
"Morning, how was your sleep last night?"
There was someone next to him, Sun Chenghuan naturally didn't say too much that he couldn't tell others, he just smiled and said hello.
"Not very good. Erin pouted, "Big brother, you're not around, I feel so insecure to sleep! I'm going to sleep with you tonight!"
“...... Don't make a fuss. Sun Chenghuan glanced at Selena, who had a bad face next to him, and shook his head a little speechlessly.
This girl is going to heaven!
"I don't care! Anyway, didn't the boat say that there were not enough rooms? everyone has to squeeze in, so I'll squeeze in with you, big brother!"
“...... We'll talk about that then. Sun Chenghuan gave Selena a look.
That means, exhort your masters!
Selena's face was even worse.
I can persuade us, we won't be waiting here to go, okay!
......
When all the people were gathered, the Lord of Onika stepped forward to arrange for all the people to get ready to go on their way.
Sun Chenghuan hid in the crowd, looking at the city lord of Onika who was there to "say goodbye" to Princess Jarro and the head of the Astrana envoys, while cursing him silently in his heart.
I almost confessed to the river last night!
Thanks to the storage ring, this kind of thing has long disappeared from the Ace continent, and this puppeteer has no defense against this, otherwise he really has no chance of winning last night!
After completing the customary farewell ceremony, a group of people boarded the ship under the leadership of Princess Jarro.
Counting the guards of Jarro, which is now under the command of Raven, there are nearly three hundred people in this group, and the Merce side has arranged five ships for them.
Jarro, with her "friends" and the more reliable members of the Guard, rested on the middle of the five ships.
A standard escort formation of five ships.
Starting from Onika, all the way to the southeast, you can enter the Spiegel River, which originated at the edge of the desert and was formerly known as the highest peak in the Elwyn Forest, which is the main source of water in Ornica City, and then you can follow the Spiegel River all the way south to the east, you can reach the border of Merce and Astrana.
If it goes well, as long as it takes five days, Sun Chenghuan and they can leave Merce.
On this road, there are basically no people living in clusters, except for the desert is the forest, unless someone is ready to plot the fleet like Sun Chenghuan and them ambushed before, generally speaking, there will be no accidents......
Four days passed peacefully.
Although Raven looked nervous and longed to live in Jarro's room like Joey to protect her safety, the journey was indeed very smooth.
Even Suowan, who had been nervous by Raven, felt that Raven seemed to be a little too nervous: the person who really wanted to trouble them was south of the border!
However, Sun Chenghuan was waiting for the accident.
That night in the city of Ornika, he was ambushed by the puppeteer, and he had been waiting for the puppeteer to come back to him after he almost lost his life because of Toda.
In the past few days on the ship, Sun Chenghuan, who was really idle and bored, quietly released the puppets that he had put into the storage ring when no one was there, and studied them.
Artwork.
Sun Chenghuan admired the five puppets lying there enough to make people think about it.
Because it was a girl's style, Sun Chenghuan was really embarrassed to take off the clothes they were wearing that should have been carefully selected for them by the puppeteer, but he just carefully studied the skin and hair on his face, which already made Sun Chenghuan sigh that the puppeteer who made them must be a ...... Metamorphosis.
It's really like the shortest little girl who said it, from the outside, when they close their eyes as if they are sleeping, they can't tell that they are not alive.
Even, it seems that there is a slight rise and fall of the chest, as if breathing.
Almost perfect.
In addition, I don't know what material it is made of, and the skin is as crystal clear as a pink carving......
Even, Sun Chenghuan had a very ashamed thought, when he slept at night, he shouldn't put away these puppets......
After all, he still didn't do such a weird thing.
Otherwise, Irene, who would come to his room to chat and play with him almost every day, would definitely find some strange clues.
No one would be willing to throw away these five works of art. Sun Chenghuan believed that the puppeteer would definitely come to him and find a way to take it back.
Only four days had passed, and he still hadn't heard anything about the puppeteer.
Finally, it was the evening of the fourth day.
"Tomorrow afternoon we will be ready to enter the barracks in Astrana. Sitting on the bed, Sun Chenghuan soaked his feet and said to Erin, who was humming and refusing to leave in the room, "You should go back and rest early! ”
"I didn't meet them so early if I knew I wouldn't have been able to use the Holy Light Barrier lately, and I've been stared at every day...... Bored. Erin looked depressed, "Won't you be free to accompany me from tomorrow?"
"yes! For the past two days, Joey has been helping to keep an eye on Princess Jarro's safety, and when I get to Astrana's army, I'll have to take over. After all, although Joey's magic cultivation is very high, he has too much playability. Sun Chenghuan nodded, "Sometimes people have to fall two heels to grow up. ”
"It's like you've fallen......" Erin snorted.
"Why haven't I fallen, the one five years ago is enough for me to remember for a lifetime. Sun Chenghuan smiled, "Okay, you can go back and rest early." ”
"Alright, got it, got it!" Erin waved her hand a little disappointedly and turned to leave.
In Sun Chenghuan's room, only he was the only one left.
After soaking my feet for a while, it's time to go to bed.
It's just that before he could lie down, a figure suddenly appeared in the room.
Uninvited, certainly not friends.
Sun Chenghuan, who had just been lying on his side on the bed, bounced up from the bed almost all at once.
One of the fastest cast shadow arrows strikes at it.
Magic Shield.
"Wait a minute! I'm here to negotiate!"
The dark shadow made a sound.
Sun Chenghuan immediately put a magic shield on his body.
"You ......"
"In Onica, you robbed me of something!"
“...... Are you the puppeteer?"
Only then did Sun Chenghuan see the dark shadow in front of him.
A man about his own age.
The long flaxen hair was neatly tied together behind the back, and there was no messy hair at all. Very delicate face, delicate facial features are very soft and soft, staggered distribution on his face, and he can even be said to be "beautiful",
The clothes are also clean and neat, not at all like a man.
Even, Sun Chenghuan smelled a faint aroma.
If it weren't for the fact that his voice was a very nice male voice, Sun Chenghuan would really suspect that he was a woman.
"My name is Barna. Mr. Sun Chenghuan. The puppeteer nodded and introduced himself, "It's a puppeteer." May I ask you how you came to know the word puppeteer......"
"I saw it in the book. Sun Chenghuan tried to calm his expression, "Why, are there very few people who know about this matter?"
"I'm curious about what book you saw it in. The puppeteer named Barna looked surprised, "Our small sect on the coast of the South China Sea is actually known by people in Merth, which is rare. ”
"Sect?" Sun Chenghuan was stunned. "You puppeteers are all one?"
"We?" Barna laughed instead, "Looks like you're not lying to me...... It's been a long time since the puppeteers were. To me, the puppeteer has been in the single transmission for six generations. ”
“...... That's right. Sun Chenghuan nodded. "I just read in the book that your sect has its own unique views on life magic, but there is no relevant information on your inheritance, cultivation or anything, and how it is carried out. ”
"That's for sure. Barna smiled, "We people ......"
"Are you looking for me for those puppets?" Sun Chenghuan pulled the topic back.
He didn't want to be played emotionally.
Sympathy or something......
"Yes. Barna paused for a moment and nodded.
Obviously, he really thought so......
"You know I can't just give it back to you. Sun Chenghuan smiled, "That's just a work of art!"
Barna was silent.
"Say, since you're here to negotiate terms, then you must have something you can get your hands on to exchange with me, right? Why are you on the orders of the Lord of Onika to kill us all, you can't do it now. Sun Chenghuan continued to smile and showed the cards in his hand.
Barna froze.
"You know?"
"Of course I do. Sun Chenghuan smiled, "But there are many things I don't know, come, you tell me, if you don't know what you said, then ...... I can consider giving you back a puppet. ”
It looks like it's in the chest.
Barna bowed his head.
This time, it's a long time.
"I can swear an oath of obedience to you. Barna looked up again, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
It was a difficult decision.
"Oh?" Sun Chenghuan's eyelids jumped.
The oath of obedience is one of the few blood oaths that have been handed down from the Holy Maiden calendar and can still be used.
Yarluo had asked Sun Chenghuan before if he would like to make such an oath for her, but Sun Chenghuan refused.
This oath is one of extreme inequality. The oath taker does not need to give anything to become the master of the oath, and can take the life of the oath taker in a single thought.
Even, if the oath-taker dies unnaturally, his followers will "go with him......
The only meaning of such an oath is to show loyalty.
The oath of obedience is exchanged for the absolute trust of the oath-taker.
"Those puppets are very important to me. I have to get it back. Barna said seriously, "I've been thinking about it for a few days, and I wasn't your match when all the puppets were in hand, and now ...... Not anymore. ”
"Hmm......" Sun Chenghuan nodded.
Noncommittal.
He believed some, but he couldn't believe it all, and he didn't dare to believe it all.
"If I swear an oath of obedience to you, ......can you give me back the puppet?"
Barna looked like he was doing what he said.
Sun Chenghuan didn't respond, just smiled and looked at Bana.
He didn't understand a little, if he just wanted to exchange for those puppets, it was a big deal to mention a good condition, how could he sell himself like this!
"Don't believe me?" Barna sighed.
knelt down on one knee in front of Sun Chenghuan.
A spell.
Sun Chenghuan was stunned.
This is the mantra of the Oath of Obedience.
Soon, the mantra was finished.
A red light flashed across Barna's body.
This is a sign of success.
However......
"How so?"
Barna's face was ridiculous.
He swore to succeed, but Sun Chenghuan was there...... Apparently I didn't succeed in accepting the vow!
Otherwise, Sun Chenghuan's body had a yellow light flash!
But it was as calm as if nothing had happened.
That's not right!
Sun Chenghuan was also stunned.
Then, he instantly understood what was happening.
Barna's entire vow-taking process was fine, kneeling on one knee in front of him and reciting the entire incantation.
But the question is......
Maybe there is someone between me and him?
"Erin, you come out for me!" Sun Chenghuan shouted angrily.
A figure suddenly appeared.
"What are you shouting, what are you shouting......"
Erin looked aggrieved.
Barna, who was there, was completely dumbfounded.
Just...... What kind of magic is this?
Unheard of!
"His oath of obedience was stopped by you, right?" Sun Chenghuan's words were filled with unhappiness.
"I'm just standing there! who knows how it ended up on me......" Erin pouted, looking aggrieved.
Sun Chenghuan didn't believe it! Would she not understand the principle of the Oath of Obedience?
A white eyeball flicked over, and Sun Chenghuan snorted.
Erin stuck out her tongue and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"That...... This ......" Barna, who was there, looked at the two men dumbfounded.
"I said that you too, how can you just casually swear an oath of obedience! You don't know that you will die like this! Oh, yes, you are not young, this is a ......."
Erin turned her attention directly to Barna.
Bana's face twisted into a chrysanthemum, and he looked at Sun Chenghuan a little helplessly.
That's too bad, isn't it?
