Chapter 39: The Odyssey of Failure
The North Wind Ice Field, the top of the earth's poles.
The three guardians of the Tower of Advancement are repeating a new round of farce by that lake. The lake is still dry, and only a large crater remains. A huge water balloon slowly floated in the sky in the distance, and what was even more amazing was that there were seahorses, squid, sharks and other sea creatures in the water ball.
On the shore of the lake, SΓΈren, who loves fishing, looked up and kept rubbing his hands, looking very expectant.
The water balloon was getting closer and closer, and Kande, who was manipulating the water balloon, slowly appeared in view. He shouted at Seren, "How's that boy, these things can fill your fish tank, right?"
Sren nodded like garlic, as happy as a child getting a new toy. Sikun looked at the huge water balloon that was slowly falling, then looked at his position, and quietly stepped aside.
The balloon was getting lower and lower, and Thren could clearly see the shark's gaping jaws and rows of sharp teeth. It's just that it's so clear that the shark is almost face-to-face. Boom! The balloon burst and plunged straight into the pit, filling the lake and submerging SΓΈren.
On top of an ancient tree nearby, Xikun had long been hiding on it to watch a good show. The flood cleared, and Thren was still standing where he was, with a shark pointing its head down, biting him on the head. Tren raised his hand and pinched the shark's upper and lower jaws, and forcibly broke the shark's mouth, plucking the shark off his head. He stared at the shark and said, "Let's settle the account later, now you can go and decorate my fish tank first!" and threw the shark into the lake.
In the sky, Kander rolled around with his stomach clutched, laughing until tears came out.
Syron shook his fist and shouted viciously, "Dead old man, see that I don't make you bait today!" said a man who jumped into the air to teach the culprit of the mischief.
The two were about to make a move, when Xikun suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
"Wait, wait, don't try to stop me today!" said Thuron.
"What do you see that is?" said Sikun, pointing in the direction of the Tower of Promotion.
Under the light of the Tower of Promotion, a stumbling figure stepped out. The three of them let out a surprised "huh" in surprise, and the people who came from that direction could only have walked out of the tower.
Kander floated down from the sky, came to Sikun's side, looked at the horizon in the distance and said, "That kid succeeded?"
Sikun shook his head. At this time, Serron also came to this side, and said, "We have been here for more than a thousand years, and no one has succeeded." β
"But......" Sikun looked at the man who was getting closer and closer, and stopped talking. "It doesn't seem to be a complete failure. β
The Crow Odyssey described the withered approach, and the original ginger hair had turned gray. He rolled his dry eyes as he looked at the three Guardians and asked, "How long has it been?" His voice was hoarse, as if he had just stepped out of the desert. He meant to ask himself how long he had been in the tower, but he was too tired to say these three words briefly.
Sikun stared at Odyssey deadly, almost seeing through his soul, and it took a long time to reply, "Twenty days." β
Odyssey nodded and said, "I should go back." With that, he walked vaguely towards the dark area of the south.
The old man Kande looked at the back of the black crow and said, "For so many years, he is the first person who has come out alive without going crazy. β
"He said he wanted to go back?" "He has lost all his strength now, and he is just an ordinary person, I'm afraid he can't even get through that dense forest." β
Li Xiang has been going out early and returning late in the past few days, and when he came back, he also looked sullen when he saw Catherine, as if he had something to say in his heart. Regarding Li Xiang's abnormal performance, the Black Dragon Princess didn't care about it at first, but she finally couldn't help it on this day.
In the dead of night, the entire villa was asleep.
"Li Xiang, Li Xiang!" Catherine came to Li Xiang's room.
Li Xiang seems to be very tired these days, and when he comes back, he sleeps like a dead pig. He rubbed his eyes and reluctantly said, "Let me sleep a little longer." β
The Black Dragon Princess was about to have a seizure at that time, and a purple-black lightning ball had already condensed in her hand. She thought about it for a while, and finally dispersed the lightning ball, continued to push Li Xiang, and said softly: "Wake up, I have something to ask you." β
Li Xiang had actually heard that it was Catherine, but he didn't want to wake up, because the things in his heart were a little too heavy. He sighed, sleepless, sat up, looked at Catherine's pretty face, and said, "I know what you want to ask, you want to know what's wrong with me, don't you?" Catherine nodded obediently and waited for Li Xiang's next step.
"Here's the thing. I've met your people, or some of them, to be exact. β
Catherine hurriedly asked, "Where are they, and how are they now?"
"Misty Mountains. Li Xiang hesitated for a moment, then continued. "They...... It's not going well. "How good can the proud dragon of the sky be in a cage and a slave?
When the Dragon Knights of the Roland Kingdom appeared in Huadu City, Catherine saw it. She had long been mentally prepared for the situation of her clansmen. The Black Dragon Princess said the last thing Li Xiang wanted to hear: "Take me to see them." β
Inside the Misty Mountains, the camp of the Dragon Knights.
Li Xiang and Gondolin have recently teamed up to equip the Dragon Knights with great equipment. Now, the two have become the most distinguished guests here.
At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was warming, Li Xiang came here with Catherine. The reason for this time is to avoid the Prince of Orleans, who likes to come here in the morning to walk his horses. But I didn't expect that the prince was rarely free today, and he was here in the afternoon, and he happened to meet Li Xiang.
"My wife is bored at home, so I asked her to take her out to play, and I hope His Royal Highness will not mind. Li Xiang said first, so as not to be suspicious of the other party.
The prince said: "It is rare for Mrs. Li to appreciate her face, so let me do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord." β
Although the Dragon Knights are now a secret weapon, they are not so secret that they cannot be revealed. What's more, the Prince of Orleans is very interested in Li Xiang, and it is not a big deal for Li Xiang's wife to want to come and see here.
The black dragons in the cage immediately became agitated when they saw the black dragon princess. Some of them hit the cage so violently that the cage rolled over. Every time Li Xiang appeared, the black dragons would be so violent. The people here are used to it, but they don't know that there are other reasons why the black dragons are so excited, they think that Li Xiang has taken Her Royal Highness the princess hostage in a despicable way.
The imprisoned people were close at hand, but Catherine could only sit idly by. Unbearable, sad, and self-blame emerged from her eyes, Li Xiang was distressed, and held Catherine's hand tightly.
Li Xiang said: "These guys are so terrifying, they all frighten my wife. Your Royal Highness, let's leave first. He was afraid that if he stayed a little longer, Catherine would show her stuff.
The Prince of Orleans enthusiastically sent Li Xiang and his family out of the camp. On the occasion of separation, he attached himself to Li Xiang's ear and said, "That...... Angela and I are about to get married, and she wants to go to Danfeng again for a beauty treatment. β
Li Xiang admitted: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." I will definitely let Master Lokan serve the princess with all his heart. β
