2. Chapter 2 Olivia the Silver-Haired
"Kill me, please kill me!", the silver-haired woman lay on the ground covered with animal skins, clutching the torn robe on her chest, as if trying to hide something. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Don't send me back, I don't want to go back!!" She was almost in despair
"You've had enough of me, please kill me!, you inhuman beast, scum....come, kill me!" The woman cried in a trembling voice, and then tried to move her injured leg so that she could sit up, but in vain she could only rub on the ground, and Lance could not stand it anymore, so he approached her, hugged the frightened bird with both hands, and removed her crazy hands from her chest, and stared at the snow-white and delicate twin peaks of the other for a long time, and let the red and swollen eyes let tears flow from her before she put her on his leather wooden chair and sat down, and said insincerely:
"I saw where you were ashamed, but to save you, admittedly, I've never seen a girl's breasts, even though I have three younger sisters who are growing up... But I never dared to stare at it like I did today, and I did have the idea of tasting it with my mouth, but I held back."
"That's enough, my whole body hurts badly now, if I had chopped you up just now, I wouldn't have been so insulted!" the woman scolded, and grabbed the edge of the chair with her weak hand, and the old side suddenly had two or three white scratches.
Lance spoke his heart, and his father had told him that the woman's twin peaks were an obstacle that men had to overcome, and once they had crossed it, women would be very obedient. But it seems that the woman in front of her, who has been touched by herself a little bit of the mountain, is arrogantly tight
"Hey, I said could you sober up, Miss Noble!" said Lance.
"Or, I suppose I should call you, my noble princess!!"
Her cheeks changed from slightly rosy to pale again in front of Lance, "No, it can't be, how do you know? I'm not a princess!"
"It's useless to deny, a week ago, the merchant from Mist Harbor said that there was a big incident in the royal city, a princess died while hunting, and many of the princes and nobles who pursued her were sad..."Lance said and took another sip of wine, and then handed the bottle to the princess who was still convulsing, "Drink some, I'll find someone to treat your wounds later, at least you have to endure some pain until you ask everything"
The princess's eyes suddenly became ruthless and indifferent, and Lance was startled, and subconsciously clenched the sword in his hand, the corners of his mouth closed, waiting for the princess's reaction
"Actually, you're dead now, my little knight of the bridge," said the princess coldly
"There are too many things to explain, maybe I can't explain it clearly in a short time, let me drink a little first" Anyway, this lovely man, who was still very shy before, picked up the small wine jug placed between the two of them and simmered it in one gulp, making Lance stunned by the amount of wine, while the princess continued to pick up Lance's unfinished dry food and ate it
"In terms of food, you don't look like a princess, but a bit like our donkey", Lance originally wanted to make a joke with the princess to ease the atmosphere, but he didn't understand women, and he was hit in the nose by a wine jug before he finished speaking
"It seems that you are an uneducated knight, or do you want to make me amuse, so that I can forget the ugly thing you bullied me into a coma?"
"Hey, don't look at me like that, I haven't dealt with a woman for this long, of course you know I'm talking about my mom and sisters"
.... Suddenly, the small detention center was cold
"Let me take a closer look at you, my little knight, who poked a hole in my thigh and ravaged my chest while I was unconscious, well, hehe, I'm afraid you can't control yourself anymore, and you want to possess me here, right?"
"Anyway, my body has been touched by you, I think about it, give myself to you" The princess pouted and looked at Lance with affection, "You don't look bad, but it must be cheap, hum~"
With that, the princess began to take off her clothes one by one, and Lance suddenly felt as if he had arrived in heaven, and the beautiful angel was making all sorts of shameful and evil gestures in front of him. Especially when the princess stripped off her shirt and made a breastfeeding pose, Lance couldn't hold back anymore and rushed out directly
"Princess, please respect yourself!" Lance said outside the detention center, kicking in the air. "There were places where the princess was violated before, all in order to save the princess's life, otherwise I would never be so presumptuous, and I ask the princess to forgive me!"
"Princess, you are very beautiful, Lance is not worthy of you, and you can't use this kind of means to take advantage of people's danger to ask for the princess's innocence, so please don't drink it, and soon I will take the princess back to Gordon Town, find the best doctor to treat the princess, before that, please also ask the princess to put on all her clothes, and only dare to come in Xia, otherwise I really don't know if I will be as impulsive as just now."
"Well, the little guy still has a bit of a knightly temperament, even if I don't look away," the princess's voice came from inside
"However, if I return to that Gordon Town, won't it fall into their hands again, I don't want to go, if I want to die, I'll die by your side, and I'll find someone to back up, I won't die alone."
"Hey, princess, you can't think like that, you're still young, you can eat the best food cooked with the flame every day, you can bathe in hot water in the cold winter, such a beautiful life is something that people like us look forward to all our lives, besides, you are still qualified to learn words and languages, understand what is really being told in the book, and you can fantasize about other worlds, isn't it great" Lance said as he quietly approached the window of the detention center to see if the princess was dressed
"Fantasy of other worlds?" the princess fell into deep thought when she heard this, unaware that Lance's eyes were once again fixed on her various temptations
"Ahh
At this time, Lance realized how beautiful the princess was, Lance could not find any adjectives to describe everything in front of him, the princess's bare twin peaks were whiter than ivory, and a touch of red was embellished on the seductive shapes, one point higher was not beautiful, and one point lower was not strong. Not to mention the princess's slender thighs, the junction made Lance's mouth dry, although I don't understand why there are so many differences between men and women here, but just from the spirit of academic research, Lance has to take a closer look
And the princess was so hurried that she couldn't cover the top and couldn't cover the bottom, and after a short second or two, the princess was too lazy to carry out this senseless cover-up behavior, but looked at Lance seriously
It should be a lecherous uncle who can be relied on, the princess thought so in her heart, everything I had was clearly seen by him again and again, why didn't he rush in and commit violence against me?
Could it be that the beard that could be pierced on this beautiful and resolute face was just a sign of unkemptness?
"You rascal, have you seen enough?" the princess continued to use the breastfeeding position to scare Lance with a good smile, but this time Lance did not accept the invitation and continued to stare at the princess
"Princess, I have seen everything you have clearly, and now I am not afraid of you, and I have suppressed the desires in my heart, so please get dressed and go home with me," Lance said righteously
"Go home, do you want to marry me?" the princess's provocation was very much in keeping with her status as a princess
"Ah, you misunderstood, only our house has a fire source in the whole town, it's very cold outside in this dark night, besides, you have shed so much blood, you need to eat something good to replenish your body, as for the matter of you being selected by the flame festival, I want to talk about it later, after all, if Wang Cheng sends someone to pick you up, he will just be able to participate in the Flame Festival!"
"Phew, you beast-hearted guy, I said that even if I lost my life to you or anyone else today, I would not go back!"
After that, the two originally met their eyes and separated again, Lance leaned against the wall of the detention center, turned his back to the princess, continued to persuade in a good voice, and even began to introduce his sisters, and the princess gradually became willing to chat with Lance again
"Hey, your name is Lance, don't you, you want to be a knight?" asked the princess lazily
"Yes, I've always wanted to be a knight, but my dad said that a true knight can't face the evil in the dark because it's too vulnerable. I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at the time, and to be honest, I don't understand it now, the people of this continent have stopped fighting, peace has lasted for hundreds of years, and the only role of knights is to find missing children, or to elect participants in the Festival of Fire, of course, it is necessary to maintain social order once in a while, but since there is no need to fight, what is the use of knights?" Lance began to ponder again
"Of course, knight," the princess laughed
"There are too few good people and too many bad people in this world. So I need a knight to protect me, will you be my knight, Lance Gordon!"
Lance was a little surprised by such a sudden request, and without thinking about it, he replied, "No, because I would want to possess you instead of protect you." I'm going to think about getting your love instead of giving you mine, and I think I've probably started to have some obsession with you, and such a person is not fit to be your knight."
"Sincere and outspoken, I didn't expect you to be so straightforward with me," the princess smiled
"So, if you can protect me, I can willingly give you everything you want from me, but only if you protect me"
"But princess, you've been chosen by the Festival of Fire, you should be, the Lord of Flames has been chosen!" said Lance weakly, "No one can fight against the Lord of Flames, and my sword may be burned to ashes by his guards before it is unsheathed."
"So, you can't do brute, Lance. You must know that in addition to heartfelt and martial arts, knights also need to have a smart mind, otherwise they will die quickly."
"But Princess, I'm stupid," Lance continued, speaking bluntly about his true situation
"Then there will be commitment and sacrifice to achieve the same effect"
After that, the princess began to sigh, there is not much time left for her in this world, if she can't make a quick decision, maybe after half a day, those minions will come, just one Lance, not the opponent of those guys at all. And the reason why he fled here is to find the legendary book, the spell book called Chaos Fire, with this book, he has the basic power to fight against the Flame King, and he is also one step closer to the dream of all his partners, but his luck is not good, he just escaped from the royal city here, and he was pierced in the leg by a second-cargo knight, and now in the case of inconvenience, he has exhausted all kinds of color temptations, and these second-class knights have not taken the bait, and the blood drinking ability that he has painstakingly practiced cannot be used, and it seems that he can only eat honestly and recover
But the minions won't let themselves live so easily, even if they pee here, these minions will probe and analyze everything, damn it, why don't you learn a little more anti-detection methods in the royal city, the princess began to hate iron again. Then, there was only one way left, the princess thought helplessly
This method is only hearsay, it just so happened that this stupid knight Lance also woke himself up just now, maybe you can try it, the princess bit her lip, began to draw a special pattern on the ground, after chanting the incantation, four different colors of flames suddenly began to appear around her, and after a while, a voice came from the fiery red flames
"Honorable princess, do you want to return to the royal city and admit your mistake to your father at this moment?"
Then there was silence, and Lance, who was waiting outside, was confused, but soon Lance was too frightened to move, and four flames flew out of the detention center and formed a square in the air, and the remaining stars of the flames were burning everything that collapsed around them, and Lance flew into the air unconsciously, and the detention center was about to fall apart
"Servants of fire, black represents death, red represents light, and green represents life. But no one has ever been able to control the blue flames, because no one can decipher the meaning of the blue" The princess sat naked in the middle of this twisted space, her hands folded and cross-legged, and the flames around her heard this explanation, and flew back and forth faster and faster
"Haha, princess, do you want to challenge the laws of [Forbidden Fire] and have your own flame?" the blue flame spoke, apparently excited by the flame
"But you also have to know that anyone only has one chance, and if they answer incorrectly, they will become a sacrifice to the flames, no matter what the identity of the challenger is, even your father, the Lord of Flames, does not dare to set foot in the blue fire, with the ability of three flames, can't it satisfy the greed of your human beings?"
"It is because of the greed of others that I am forced to have the strength to protect myself as a weak woman," said the princess calmly
"I didn't have the courage to challenge [the forbidden fire] because I had seen too many losers sacrificed. Their fate cannot be described simply as tragic. But today, I may have no choice, I must have the power to live as a human being, so please let me challenge this blue [forbidden fire] as an ordinary flame excerpter!"
After a while, the distorted space expanded from half a league to a league, and the space had been transformed into a strange state, Lance was entangled in green flames and could not move, the shattered guard was recast into a circular altar under the black flames, and the princess's body was imprisoned in the center of the altar by a special chain formed by the red flames, and the princess still wanted to struggle at the beginning, but once she touched the chain that floated in the air, she would be burned, so the princess could only stay honestly
"There are three questions, if you answer them all correctly, you, the silver-haired Olivia, will gain the power of blue flame control and become the new king, but if you answer any of the questions incorrectly, you will become a sacrifice of the flames, for this, the silver-haired Olivia, is you willing to accept the challenge of the forbidden fire?"
"I do!!" said the princess firmly, glancing at Lance not far away, and telling him with her eyes not to mess around, even though the latter had no ability to move his body
"Okay, so here we go", the black flame began to ask, "the first question is, why does the flame have four colors?"
"The world changes from chaos to light, from light to chaos. The princess swallowed her saliva to hide her fiercely beating heart, "The source of the flame is the dragon, there are four colors of dragon, there are four colors of flame, each flame has a different meaning, black represents death and destruction, red represents light and heat, green represents life and hope, and blue, so far no one can decipher it, so I will not explain it in this question"
"Hahahaha", the black flame let out a meaningful laugh, "I didn't expect it to be a smart little girl, even if you pass this question, but ninety percent of people can answer this question correctly, so please don't be too happy"
"Then the second question is, why do people live?"
The question was a difficult one, and although Lance wanted to help, the princess decided to answer it herself. After a moment, the princess took a deep breath and began to speak slowly
"It's not that people want to live, but that there are beings beyond them who want us species called [people] to live, and the megalithic bridge connecting the continent is obviously not done by man, and the story with the pattern carved in relief on it, presumably any traveler knows, at the beginning of the world, the dragon dominated the world, chaos was opened for it, and the clear sky was for it. But because of the unknown, the dragon slept, the stone bridge rose from the sea to link the top of the continent, and then the world experienced hundreds of years of rain, the surviving people established a kingdom on the continent linked by the stone bridge, at this moment the initial fire, that is, the red flame descended on the world, bringing warmth and food to everyone, and then thousands of years, the green fire burned everywhere, wild grass overgrown, and trees were abundant. Everywhere the black fire goes, all kinds of monsters tremble, so there are three knights in the royal city: the red knight, the green knight, and the black knight, who specialize in escorting and enhancing the flame, as well as the Church of Light that studies the characteristics of the flame."
"However, then again, all these behaviors, all the organizations and rules, isn't it like someone has already drawn up a script for everything, afraid of the black flame's monster, its ability is not something that the knights of a column can compete with, and the huge sea beasts that often emerge from the bottom of the sea, once they see the green flame escorted by the caravan, they will also avoid it, not to mention the only red fire source that can shine in each village, which plays a vital role in condensing people."
"So, I boldly guess that behind the question of why people are alive, the essence of the hidden message is why these people are alive, I'm sorry I can't answer what kind of gods or powers make people live to achieve their goals, but whether it's like the lambs and chickens we raise as livestock, or the nest of ants at the door is quite interesting to play around, or as a testing ground for fighting all kinds of monsters, we are just objects to be manipulated, so, servants of the flame, my answer is still correct?”
.... After hearing this, Lance was already scared into a cold sweat, in the various stories he had since childhood, there had never been a description of people as livestock, test subjects, ants and the like, could it be that for the space field beyond the reach of ordinary people, it was such a way to play? Lance just wanted to wake up quickly from this nightmare full of four colors, and his mother and sisters were still waiting for him to go back
..... After a while, the green flame said in a gentle female voice, " Unexpectedly, even the second question with a pass rate of less than one percent was also answered by you, but the next question is that there is only a chance of less than one in a billion, if you give up now, you can choose one of the three flames of black, red, and green, of course, you need a sacrifice, he can be the boy next to you, if you decide to continue, you will still have nothing and become a sacrifice after failure, we give you a short time to make a decision on whether to answer the last question"
Then, time and space distorted again, the chains that lingered on the princess disappeared, and Lance could move freely, in this upside-down and chaotic space, the two didn't know what to say, after all, they were both naked, and their young hearts couldn't help but be restless, but the pressure on the outside would not give them so much time to think about those children's love, so the two quickly grabbed some flying pieces of clothes in the air with their hands and wrapped themselves, and then entered into a serious dialogue
"You witch, if you answer the last question incorrectly, you can't help but suffer, and I will be buried with you, is it worth it?" said Lance, frowning
"Phew, there's nothing worth it, living is gambling, isn't it? But do you know that for thousands of years, no one has been able to answer the last question, so no one has been able to control the blue flame, which is why the Fire Festival always has to select people from all over the continent."
"No, this~~~ Are you saying that those who have been chosen have been used as test subjects for answering questions?" Lance felt the coldness of his vest, "Abominable royal city, unforgivable festival!!"
"Hey, I don't think you've ever been anywhere else," the princess couldn't help but laugh loudly, "You country man, how can you understand what kind of price the royal city has paid in order to obtain the power of the flames, and this price will make even the earth tremble"
"Can I quit?" said Lance to the princess seriously for the first time, "I'm just a caretaker of the stone bridge, but I have inherited my father's last wish, and I have to support my mother and three sisters with this meager salary, and besides, I haven't been in love yet..."
"Hey, it's late, actually, you were the chosen one from the beginning," the princess said lazily, "Your father, Gordon, after coming to the royal city, once told the young me that if one day he arrived in his hometown, there was a certain silly boy who was worth relying on, so I didn't bother to go around in circles with you, I fled here from the royal city just to open the ability of the blue flame and gamble with my own fate, of course, you need to trigger all this, otherwise it will be all in vain"
"My father knows you, and why does it take me to trigger??? I don't understand at all!" Lance was a little furious, once again feeling dizzy by the female vixen
"To put it simply, the blue flame may represent a different kind of power, and this power has been hidden by your father for many years and passed on to you, but you don't know how to control it. So, instead of letting you live your life in a mess like this, with a strong and unawakened ability and not making contributions, it is better to take the opportunity to gamble with the god of fate today to see if the servants of the flame can accept you", after the princess finished speaking, the two fell silent again, the amount of information was too great for Lance to accept at all
.....
"I said, Princess, I have only learned simple swordsmanship since I was a child, although my father taught me by himself, but I have used it to this day, and I have not found any relationship with flames."
"Besides, it's the princess who is answering the question, not me, why me??" Lance looked dazed, and after thinking about the question carefully, he came to a normal conclusion
"To say that you are a nerd is a nerd, or I will call you a nerd knight in the future" The princess showed that rare smile seriously for the first time, and Lance swallowed vigorously
"Your father knows too much, but you don't know anything, so it seems that he did it to protect you. I'm too lazy to go around the bend, and if I get the power of fire, my body can't accept it, because there can only be one flame burning in a container. But as long as you are my knight, then as the master of the flames, I am qualified to fuse the flames with your body, so that you have the power of the blue flame, now understand, my little fool knight"
"Seriously, I don't understand at all, but since it's already a grasshopper on a rope, I just hope that you can let us all survive, and then go our separate ways, I really can't mess with you, let alone this flame servant who distorts space, I just want to be a good person honestly and live a safe life" Lance said helplessly
"Guy with no ambition, hum~" The princess seemed to be very unhappy, "Anyway, you have seen my whole body, do you still want to stay out of it?"
As soon as he said this, the collapsing distorted space suddenly surged again, and a terrifying and familiar voice sounded
"Okay, the last question is coming, brave challenger, Honorable Flame King's daughter, silver-haired Olivia, have you decided to challenge this question, even if you may be tormented in the endless sea of fire because of your failure?"
"I do!" the princess covered Lance's mouth, which was about to open, "I do!"
All the flames suddenly let out a very lewd laugh, as if it could penetrate the soul and see all your most fragile feelings. Then, the blue flame said in a smooth middle-aged man's voice, "The last question is, if you had the whole world, what would you do?"
At this time, the princess closed her eyes, as if in deep contemplation, and then, looking at the overwhelmed Lance affectionately, said, "I give the right to answer this question to my knight, Lance!"
"Ah~~ I!" Lance stopped talking
"Confirm the transfer of rights?" asked All Flames
"Confirm!" the princess continued to gagged Lance, and then whispered in Lance's ear, "Your father said that you must believe you absolutely, I passed the first two levels, and the rest of the level is up to you."
"Well, please give me a moment to think about it" Lance was forced to use a delaying tactic
"Okay, give you five minutes", the flames said in unison, "but no communication is allowed, only your own thoughts"
Lance sat on the ground, the sword left by his father slowly slid in his hand, and Lance rhythmically unsheathed the sword, returned to its position, unsheathed it again, and returned to its position. Five minutes later, he and the inexplicable princess would be in flames, and the fear in Lance's heart kept growing
"Be calm" Lance told himself that every time his father taught him swordsmanship, he told Lance that if he couldn't calmly use his sword, he would be the one who fell to the ground the next moment. But how do you calm down? Lance stabbed himself with the tip of his sword, and the red blood gushed out, this pain made Lance suddenly enter a fighting state, although he knew that he could not defeat the existence of the Dreaddemon King above his head in this state, but at least let Lance know that he was still alive, and suddenly, Lance remembered his father's words before leaving. Lance, the world is so big, there are no surprises, you have the ability to dominate your fate, but dominating your fate is nothing more than to escape from constraints, if you can't have the ability to escape from constraints, you can only be an ordinary person with peace of mind, this is also my expectation for you..."
"I know the answer!" Lance came to his senses, and suddenly Lance stood up, and the poor fig leaf could not hide Lance's majesty at all, and the princess who looked at it closed her eyes and shook her head
"If I had the whole world, I wouldn't break the established rules, and within the scope of permission, I would live well!"
.....
The distorted space suddenly distorted even more, the flames began to dance wildly, and some sparks even flew directly to Lance and the princess, and the hot two had to hug each other to reduce the range that could be burned by the flames, although this scene was unsightly, but the two of them cried in unison, "Is it just dead?"
.....
The collapse of the space was repaired by the flames, and gradually returned to its original appearance, the bricks and tiles of the detention center were constantly piled up, and even the wine that had been spilled into the air slowly returned to the small wine jug, and now, the only thing that looked different from before was the tattered clothes on the two of them, maybe these flame servants didn't need to wear clothes at all, so the princess's underwear actually became the shirt material of Lance. However, this will not make the two of them feel strange, because the blue flame said, "I didn't expect that someone will finally be able to control the flame of time...", is this the rhetoric of clearing the level?
"We, are you right?" asked the princess, incredulously
"Yes, that's right, so one of you will have the power of blue flames, which is the power of time!" the flames said in unison
"But I'm not excited at all, because it's not to give me strength," said the princess angrily
"Yes, noble princess, the power of blue flame can only be given to knight Lance, because you already have the power of red flame on your body, and different powers cannot coexist in containers!"
"But, knight Lance, would you like to have this power, the power to control time, whether it's ahead of time or backwards?" the flames said in questioning voices
Lance didn't know whether to accept it or not, but the princess bit Lance's ear and whispered a few words, and Lance obediently complied, "I'm willing, I'm willing"
"Okay, again, you need to have a price to dominate this flame ability, as for what the price is, we won't tell you now, how to use this ability, we won't tell you, everything, you need to experience it yourself"
"Isn't this a trick on me?" Lance thought to himself, and then reluctantly said to the princess, "The three tests that we almost died in this harm, and the ability we finally got was such an ethereal ability?"
"At least when I got the power of fire, I was told that hundreds of people on the continent already had this ability, so the flame servant directly gave me two spells," the princess said arrogantly
"It's not fair," Lance said to the flame minions, "can't you have more information?
"Haha, don't be too greedy, boy, the door of the world has opened to you, as for what to do and how to do it, these questions are left to you, but don't forget the answers when you answer the questions, otherwise you will be greeted by boundless darkness"
After that, the space returned to normal again, and the lanterns hanging in mid-air were still illuminating the long stone bridge, and in the detention center where it was restored, most of the cod cakes that had been eaten were still in the old position on the table, and they were taken away by the princess and pinched in her hand.
"Now, it's time to go to Gordon for dinner," the princess said as she ate
"Why do I feel a little dizzy today, and now I think about everything and it feels like a dream?" Lance couldn't find any other words to describe how he felt
"Nell knight, you will be my person in the future, remember to make me something to eat, and be my shield~" The princess laughed again, Lance couldn't stop this smile at all, so he could only follow the princess and walk in the direction of Gordon Town
....
"These two people don't seem to know what fear is," the blue flame said from a very high altitude above the detention center, and the colleague who stepped replied helplessly, "The flames of the four elements have been gathered, and the rest of them, let's wait and see!"
The night wind had made the town of Gordon foggy, and tonight would probably be colder than ever
