Chapter 85: The Absolute Cold
King Charman and his men regrouped under the strange eyes of the others, and the king came to the Prime Minister, who should have been the former Prime Minister.
The Count of Lisbane stood up from the side of the Grand Duchess and looked at the new king without showing any weakness.
Thelma looked at the two nervously.
"Now, my people and I are going to leave Valhalla, the First City Gate, and even the Dragon Sky City," King Chaman grimaced, holding the sword at his waist seemingly casually with his left hand, and throwing the Soul Breaker Blade to Lord Tulha on the side with his right hand, "Count of Lisbane, the patrols under your command in the city shouldn't be able to stop you, right?"
The Count of Lisbane smiled without warmth, his eyes grazing over the unabated hostile Black Sand Soldiers around him.
"How dare we hinder His Majesty's itinerary?" the old earl said lightly, "As long as the men and horses of the Black Sand Territory can withdraw from Longxiao City amicably." β
Lisban's eyes narrowed: "Except for the most unreasonable madman, no one in this country dares to be disrespectful to the king. β
Charman I bowed his head with a blank expression, as if he did not understand the Count's words.
"I would like you, then, to provide my men with supplies and a garrison for the coming bitter cold," said the king, seemingly unconcerned, tentatively, "there should be no problem. β
This time, the Earl refused very simply: "Forgive me." β
King Chaman let out a breath from his nose.
His eyes were cold.
"Because of some 'sake', there are still a lot of messes in Longxiao City that need to be cleaned up. The Count of Lisbane, who was accustomed to seeing the wind and waves, kept his expression unchanged, and said lightly: "I apologize for the poor hospitality of Longxiao City, but I must serve my lord first before I have the strength to share the worries of the co-lord of the Northlanders." β
"You know, I'm no longer the Prime Minister of the Kingdom who serves the whole realm. β
Charman frowned imperceptibly.
He looked at the bespectacled little girl beside Lisbane and at her stained platinum hair.
Thelma folded her arms nervously.
King Chaman nodded slowly.
"In the end, even the king has to be on his own, isn't he?" Chaman said lightly, "We'll find our own camp." β
The Count of Lisbane moved lightly, blocking in front of the Grand Duchess with a look of rejection.
Then the king withdrew his gaze.
"I wish you a good reign, girl," said King Chaman meaningfully, "after all, we are already tied together. β
"I'll look at you, and I'll look at that boy. β
The king said lightly, "Please remember: he is our bargaining chip against the stars. β
"Remember your oath to defend Exeter and the Northland to the death. β
Thelma's face turned pale.
Without waiting for their response, King Chaman, with his blood-colored crown, turned around and headed out of the palace surrounded by soldiers.
The Whiteblade Guards and the palace guards watched them away coldly, but their fingers never left the blades.
In the crowd, the fiery knight Tulha grabbed the Soul Breaker Blade and passed by the former commander of the White Bladed Guard, his eyes were subtle.
"Take good care of it," Nikolai said, bandaging the wound on his arm without raising his head, "Soul Breaker - this is the great weapon that has saved the Western Continent." β
The Fire Knight frowned slightly, and he paused, taking a closer look at the Soul Breaker Blade in his hand.
"I'll send someone to send the Book of the White Blades to the Black Sand Collar, and of course, you'll have to pay for the White Blades yourself," Nicolai said without the slightest emotion, as if he was doing the most boring and rigid job: "From now on, the spirit of the White Blade Guards will be passed on to you." β
"Don't disgrace its name. β
It's ironic.
The Meteorite said coldly in his heart.
Tulha stroked the strange arc of the Soul Breaker.
White Guards.
He looked up.
"Without this sword," the Fire Knight said aggressively and defiantly, "what else can you do?"
"Starfaller?"
Nicolas stopped what he was doing.
His face changed.
"Let me think about it......" Nicolai clenched his fists with a chill in his eyes, "Like, popping out of some unknown dark corner and cutting off the head of a kingkiller?"
Tulha watched him silently.
"You know, Farland guys, the most effective identity is not a warrior," Nicolai said softly, "but an assassin." β
Tulha stared at him silently, letting his men leave in droves.
The complexion is like ice.
Nicolas seemed unaware of this, and continued to look at his enemy without showing weakness.
After a few seconds, the Fire Knight burst out laughing coldly.
"Hahahaha......"
I saw Tulha hang the unsheathed Soul Breaker Blade on his waist, and looked at the pale Starfall with interest
Nicollet looked at him coldly.
But what happened next was not what the meteorites expected.
Without hesitation, Tuleha grabbed the other weapon at his waist, attached it to the scabbard, pumped it outward, and threw it hard!
Nicolas was startled and subconsciously stretched out his hand.
Catch the opponent's weapon thrown from afar.
After a second, he saw the weapon in his hand clearly, and his mouth opened wide in surprise.
He jerked back at the Burning Knight with a calm expression.
"What does that mean?" Nicolai gritted his teeth and looked at the Asahi saber in his hand, his face disgruntled.
Tulha looked at his old weapon, nostalgia and nostalgia in his eyes.
"Take good care of it," the Fire Knight said softly, as if with infinite emotion, "than saving the Western Continent...... This is the great weapon that has saved the world. β
Nicolai was stunned and held the gold-colored saber in his hand, and was speechless for a moment.
"Remember, Starfall," Tuleha turned and tapped the Soul Breaker Blade on his waist, his voice strong and his eyes subtle, "We are dead. β
Dressed in torn armor, the Burning Knight took a cast of iron steps and left without hesitation.
Nicolas looked at his distant back, his brow furrowed, his teeth clenching tighter.
Damn it.
This one......
This guy ......
"A good man," Mielke came to his side with a cane, looked at Tulha's figure, and shook his head with a sigh, "It's a pity that he is in the wrong position." β
Nicolas closed his eyes and exhaled heavily.
The Starfall turned to his old friend.
"I'm here to say goodbye," Michael patted Nicola on the shoulder, his expression bitter, "I'll see you later, my friend." β
He glanced at the Archduchess of Walton, who was surrounded by a crowd in the distance, and his face hesitated.
"You know, you can stay. Nicolai whispered.
"Nope. β
"My story in the Whiteblade Legend," at the end, Michael, still sighing, looked into the distance, and turned away on crutches:
"This is the real end of it. β
Nicolas looked at his back as he departed one by one, and said nothing.
He just reached into his pocket and grabbed an ordinary stone.
In the departing crowd of the Black Sand Leaders, Kambida followed King Chaman.
His Excellency the Viscount watched the Fire Knight rush up from behind, his eyes swept over the lone Soul Breaker Blade at the latter's waist, and his face was uncertain.
"That's the Rising Japanese Sword, which is said to be the first legendary anti-demon weapon to change the world," Kambida said dissatisfied, but the latter ignored him, so the viscount could only turn to His Majesty the King: "You just let him send the sharpest blade in the world like a rag, Grand DukeβYour Majesty?"
Tulha snorted.
King Chaman didn't look back, but his eyes were slightly off.
"The sharpest?" said the new King of Gongju, bowing his head.
But Chaman I paused for only a second, then raised his head again, and returned to calm and calm.
"My sharpest blade," said the king with an atmospheric step, stepping step by step over the floor tiles of Valhalla, stepping through the simple and rough decorations, and said slowly:
"Aren't you standing behind me?"
Kambida's expression paused for a moment, and his brow furrowed.
Behind the king, the tall and muscular Lord Tulha curled the corners of his mouth imperceptibly.
His Excellency the Viscount slowed down and allowed others to overtake him.
Tulha passed by him and bowed his head gently.
"What a loser. β
Viscount Cambida looked at the backs of the king and the lord, closed his eyes, and sighed softly:
"But that's why I'm willing to follow him and make him my king. β
"Until the end of my life. β
He folded his arms with an indifferent expression and a sharp gaze.
The corners of the mouth curved in an interesting arc.
"Deliberately put on a pose while waiting for me to come, and then threw out such a handsome sentence," Chloehi on the stretcher happened to be carried past Kambida, and the female warrior snorted disdainfully: "The technique is too old-fashioned." β
Kambida frowned.
"At least cooperate with me and say something like 'Ah, that's why we're fighting.'" The Viscount took another step and dissatisfiedly followed Chloehi's stretcher.
"Don't say it. Croesy interrupted him coldly, "Because of that boy, the oath of concord is even more solidβin the end, we are back where we are, and nothing has changed." β
"You don't get it. β
Viscount Cambida raised an eyebrow with an interesting expression.
"Nothing has been done, and nothing has changed?" said His Excellency the Viscount, as if he had heard something amusement.
He turned around and looked at the Grand Dukes who were discussing something in a low voice: "Only those who live in the past and don't want to wake up think so." β
Chloehi looked at him quizzically.
"Actually," Kambida turned his head and chuckled, "...... the people, including His Majesty Charman, the Grand Dukes, and the Prince."
"They've changed everything. β
The female warrior looked at Kambida's deep expression and suddenly felt that the man had become a little intimidating
"Believe me, from today onwards, the bitter cold is coming," Cambida sneered, his eyes skimming over the countless historic decorations and furnishings in the court, and lightly stepping on the floor tiles of the soles of his feet for an unknown number of years:
"Exeter Kingdom ......"
"There's no going back. β
ββββ
"Rejoice, Prince Tails, if it weren't for the little girl's insistence," said Grand Duke Leco, standing in front of Prince Star, looking at the listless boy, and sighed, "The place where you have lived for a long time is Black Sand Cityβwhat a wonderful experience to always be with the King." β
Tails was slightly moved.
He turned to look at Thelma, who was talking to Lisbane in the distance.
The prince took a deep breath and turned around again: "He, King Chaman put forward this order at the election meeting as one of the conditions?"
"Oh no," Archduke Leco shook his head, his cloudy eyes showing an amusement of color, "not on his terms. β
"It's all of us who think it's safer. β
"Your Highness. β
The preoccupied Tails was speechless.
A second later, the prince hung his head as if deflated.
"All of you?"
"Yes. β
His eyes were closed, and his mood was gloomy.
Yes.
In my desperate way to do that...... Afterwards.
Grand Duke Leco watched him quietly.
"You know, Prince Tails. β
"After today, in addition to the threat of the stars that Charman said......"
"There are also many people who will be afraid of you - just as they are afraid of the Bright Star family, which has produced many talents and flourished over the years. β
Of course, it's not just the talent that's coming out.
Archduke Leco silently added a sentence in his heart:
And the madmen.
The old man's eyes lit up, and his expression became vivid: "But I'm also looking forward to you." β
Tails opened his eyes: "Looking forward to me?"
Grand Duke Leco nodded quietly.
"I don't know how Charman came to be like this," said the old duke, solemnly as he watched the king's back slowly drown out by the soldiers, "but we can all feel it: he is getting more and more dangerous." β
"The dead cold is coming. He sighed.
Tails pondered the words.
"Maybe one day, we will need to use your strength to fight him," Archduke Leco looked at Tails solemnly, "just like today." β
Confused, Tails didn't know how to respond.
"Is it over?"
Grand Duke Auretheus stepped forward coldly and glanced at Tails: "I'm fed up, I don't want to stay in this damn place for a moment, and put my life in the hands of someone else. β
In the distance, Archduke Ronnie and Trudida watched them silently, one without saying a word, the other with a hippie smile.
Leko exhaled as he looked at the Black Sand Leader army that had faded away.
"There will be a period later, take care of yourself, Prince Tails. β
The eldest duke said lightly: "Be careful of the king, and be careful of the grand duke." β
He blinked meaningfully: "And the Grand Duchess." β
Tailston was speechless.
Putile watched the Grand Dukes and their guards leave, and came to Tails' side with a frown.
"Your Highness, about your future......" the deputy envoy stopped talking.
"I know. Tails replied calmly.
"I'm a bargaining chip and a threat. β
Putile revealed the color of inquiry.
"In the midst of contradictions and compromises, the Grand Dukes must also hold on to the chips and contain the threat," Tails thought clearly about the cause and effect, and shook his head distractedly: "Restrain the stars, and also restrain Chaman......"
"It also restricts Longxiao City. β
Raphael stepped forward.
"In terms of effect, you have the ten Grand Dukes wary of each other, which is very close to, if not exceeding, the goal of the secret department. β
"Maybe you're better suited to work in Secretco. The cadre of the secret department smiled mysteriously: "We will have a meeting later." β
Tails rolled his eyes.
Putirai didn't know what to say, so he could only pat the prince on the shoulder.
"I will report to China as soon as possible and come up with a countermeasure. β
He turned to the frail Raphael to the side: "You know what to do." β
The cadre of the secret department nodded slightly: "Your Majesty and Lord Hansen will know everything that is happening here in the shortest possible time. β
Tails watched them assign jobs and thought about what would happen to him in the years to come, and he only felt depressed.
"One more thing," said Putirai, who came to Cohen and Miranda, and grimaced, "you two, though the injuries are not light...... But you must hide your identity and leave Exeter before the enemy intercepts you. β
Cohen opened his mouth, and Miranda thought for it.
"As a member of the nobility of the two families, especially Miss Arend, who is the guardian of the Duke of the North, you are of immeasurable value to Rumba, to King Chaman. β
"This is Longxiao City, and he has just been crowned, so he can't attack directly, but once he leaves Longxiao City, he will definitely not let you go. β
The sub is summarized in a few sentences.
Raphael's expression sank as well.
"I'll take them away at once, while the Nicolas are friendly to us," Raphael coughed, "I know a secret way to return home from the Great Needle Forest, and I can hide it from the eyes and ears of the Black Sand Collars." β
Putile nodded at him, "Go ahead." β
So, under Cohen's sighing annoyance, and Miranda's worried expression, they followed Raphael away.
As she passed by Tails, Miranda glanced at him.
"Take care, Your Highness," the female swordsman's expression was a little contradictory, and she frowned slightly: "Don't give up." β
She endured the pain and said meaningfully, "You are a good prince, unlike others. β
Putirai turned his head away, pretending not to hear.
Tails touched his head, embarrassed enough to smile.
Others?
Cohen, with a blue nose and swollen face, leaned over to Tails' side.
"Your Highness," the officer of the vigilance had his robe burned off his shoulder, and he had a terrible burn on his neck, although he had been preliminarily treated with the power of finishing, he still looked very hideous, and he seemed to hesitate at first: "You...... I just want to say ......"
Cohen's mouth opened and closed several times, and after a few seconds, he pursed his lips and nodded heavily, "Thank you." β
Tyles, who was in a complicated mood, smiled reluctantly:
"It's me who should thank you, Cohen Karabiyan, for your hard work. β
The vigilant officer blinked.
"No, no, Your Highness, we just fought desperately," Cohen curled the corners of his mouth and touched his head, as if he was a little embarrassed: "But you ......"
He didn't seem to be able to find good words for a while.
After a long while, Cohen, who was scratching his ears and cheeks, straightened his face and said sincerely, "You saved the world." β
"You're exaggerating," Tails laughed sneeringly, a little confused, "I'm just trying to mediate a conflict, and it's not my turn to save the world." β
Cohen paused, his eyes moving slightly.
He bowed his head.
Cohen's face darkened.
"Believe me, Your Highness," said the vigilante officer as if he had thought of something, "for those who will be affected by the war......
Tails gave him a questioning look.
I saw the vigilant officer take a deep breath, re-show a mouthful of shining teeth and a bright smile, and bow to him gently: "You have indeed saved the world. β
"It's been an honour to work alongside you. β
Tails looked at him strangely, nodded subconsciously, and watched him go away.
Raphael nodded lightly at him, "Well done, Your Highness." β
Sending away batch after batch of people, coupled with the fact that he was going to be placed under house arrest in Longxiao City, Tails suddenly felt melancholy.
Forget it - he comforted himself: at least it didn't turn out too badly.
At least, they're still alive......
Eh, have you forgotten someone?(In a corner of Longxiao City, a short figure burps and sneezes loudly.) οΌ
Right now.
"I'm sorry to get you involved," the girl's voice came from behind him, "they, they insisted on leaving you behind......"
Tails turned to look at Selma, who looked apologetic.
"No, it's their interests and calculations, it's none of your business. The prince let go of his depression and shook his head in relief.
And......
The people who were swept in......
Someone who should say sorry......
Tails shrugged gloomily, "As far as King Chaman is concerned, I am under house arrest here, and the Grand Duchess of Longxiao City is very close to the prince of the enemy country - this will weaken your prestige and prestige. β
"For all of you, I'd rather fall in Longxiao City, where my vitality is greatly damaged, than let the Black Sand Collar control this bargaining chip. β
"And for all of them. β
"A prince who has grown up in an enemy country and has been a hostage for many years will be far away from the power and power in the country of the stars," the prince shook his head, "If I return home one day to be crowned, I will surely be a new king with unstable rule." β
Even.
"It's in everyone's interest. β
"So, I'm probably doomed. β
He raised his head helplessly, summed up his fate, and sighed gloomily: "Moreover, Rumba hates me so much, and he definitely doesn't want to see me go back alive like this......"
The muscles in Tails' arm tightened.
The prince looked at Selma, who had grabbed him, in amazement.
"No, I told them, you have to be in Longxiao City," the little girl puffed up her mouth and shook her head desperately: "You are my friend, you will not be unlucky, you will be fine." β
Thelma pursed her lips as if she was about to weep, guilt and worry in her turquoise eyes.
Tails was dumbfounded.
Thelma blinked her crystal eyes and said in a trembling voice, "You're going to be fine here, you'll be fine...... The people of Lisbane are very good, he will not embarrass you, and Longxiao City will protect you!"
"We ......" As if to prove something, Thelma looked frightened and said anxiously: "We can be in ......"
Her eyes behind her glasses lit up suddenly.
"By the way, there are a lot of books in Necajou's library that I haven't read," Selma's breath became short, as if she was afraid that Tails would be unhappy, "I remember you were very interested, about the Endgame......"
Looking at the anxious little girl, Tails's depressed mood seemed to slowly improve.
"Yes," the prince scratched his head, chuckling, "I'm interested......"
Like magic.
Like what......
Dragon.
"So," Selma seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and she asked cautiously, "will you be fine, stay in Longxiao City, with me?"
Tails let out a sigh.
"Ah, yes," he smiled and pressed his hand to his chest and bowed slightly, "my lady." β
Only then did Selma slowly curl the corners of her mouth, and turned away at the urging of Lisbane, turning back from time to time. The Wind Ghost came to Tyres.
"How does it feel?" Tails smiled at a depressed Rolf: "It's been more than a month......"
"Compared to your gangster career?"
The eyes of the Wind Ghost's half of the silver mask moved slightly.
He made a difficult gesture with his right hand in the splint: "Very bad. γ
Tails raised an eyebrow.
Rolf shrugged his shoulders and gestured again:
[But, also, very good.] γ
Tails chuckled.
The prince raised his head and looked at the sky of Longxiao City outside the window with mixed feelings.
There was a sense of relaxation in my heart that I hadn't felt for a long time.
"See," he said lightly in a whisper that no one could hear, "and that's my answer." β
This time, there was no sound in his ears.
"Whew-"
Outside the window, the wind and snow suddenly increased, and the cold wind howled, mixed with ice crystals blowing on the surface.
The Longxiao City in the field of vision seemed to darken in an instant, becoming gray.
The bitter cold that envelops the entire Northland has officially arrived.
