Volume II, Chapter 33
"That's where I wondered......" I said, looking up, "Excuse me, what should I call you?"
"You have to call me Princess Lirita, for I am now Princess Charlotte's sister," she said, "and if that were the case, you would have to call me Ever...... What are you wondering about?"
"But I'm ......going to get dizzy if you keep changing like this," I said, "Why is the Light Protoss so merciful and generous, but they don't personally lead our Divine Alliance, and they still set up a temple between us?"
"I'm bored, I like to change around, and the Protoss doesn't have a handmaiden named Ever, if this news leaks out, I'll pull out your tongue......" Lirita said, "Because the Protoss has other more important things to do, and there are differences between races, so it's not good to directly manage the Protoss Alliance." It would be much better to have a temple buffer between the two, and they are both Terrans, at least in terms of thinking. β
"I see," I see," although I still can't figure it out, in order to maintain this hard-won relationship, I can't ask further now, "But, Princess Lirita, do you think there is anything wrong with me being the way I am?"
"David," Lirita said to the god of war, "please take him to the arsenal for a change of armor, I caused it." β
My heart is pounding!Where's the Protoss armor...... It's sure to sell for a good price!
"As you wish, Your Highness," said David, the god of war, "but is it officially bestowed?"
"No, it's not a gift," Lirita shook her head, "it's just a private reparation." β
"No, I can't. Her Royal Highness the Princess. David refused. "All weapons and armor in the arsenal of the god of war have an inventory, if not given...... I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to do anything. β
I couldn't help but be stunned, the shining Protoss armor seemed to be in vain.
"That's right...... It's me asking too much," Lirita thought for a moment, "you don't have to care. β
Then he turned to me and said, "Governor Cohen, you come with me." β
Although I was very reluctant in my heart. But thinking that I might have to eat under the god of war in the future, I saluted him anyway and followed Princess Lirita away.
Princess Lirita's palace is very elegantly furnished and the scenery is very good. But it seems to be a little empty, and there are only a dozen or so Protoss women in her.
I walked behind her, leaning left and right to see her face, and although I only saw the side every time, I couldn't get tired of it. Princess Lirita's true face is full of vitality and spirituality, which belongs to any normal man...... I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go! and...... She also looks like a mature woman at times. Sometimes like an astringent girl, sometimes calm and indifferent. Sometimes naΓ―ve and romantic, witty and changeable...... But this qiΔ is so natural, no matter what she becomes, it doesn't make me feel the slightest dissonance, she attracts me, I want to keep watching and see how mysterious she really is.
Kindness...... I don't think I'm a bit perverted, but she's too charming.
"This is it," Lirita finally stopped by a wall, "I haven't been here in a long time. β
"How long?" I was confused, "did you take me all this way to see this legendary wall?"
Lirita held out her hand to the wall, and a door appeared silently.
"Let's go inside!" she said, "it's full of stuff I'm tired of playing with." β
I followed her in, and was immediately dazzled by what was inside.
On the left, hundreds of weapons of all kinds floated in mid-air in rows, slowly rotating in unison. One-handed swords, two-handed swords, spears, war bows...... Floating on the right are nearly 100 sets of armor of different shapes and colors, wooden anti-magic armor, leather light armor, and metal full-body armor...... There were also long and short staffs in the middle of the room, all of which exuded a variety of colors, as if to tell me of years of bitter waiting.
"Don't be in a daze," said Lirita to me, "Pick up! β
"Can you give me an introduction," I said pitifully, "I'm fainting......"
Lirita smiled faintly, "Okay, let's look at the armor first!"
She took me through them one by one, and she remembered the functions of each piece of armor, weapon, staff, origin, blessed magic and special effects, and she didn't miss a single thing.
"Have you chosen?" she turned to me, "time is running out." β
"Yes...... But I think every single one of them is good...... Can I get some more? You're tired of it anyway. β
"No, you can't. Lirita refused.
"Alright then...... "I look at a few pairs of armor that are suitable for my brothers, and point to a black full-body helmet I have chosen for myself, "I choose this one." β
"This one?" Lirita frowned slightly, "Didn't I tell you that this armor was a little damaged?"
"But it looks handsome," I said, "and it has its own cape......
"Alright," Lirita smiled, "whatever you want, I'll show you how to use it." β
"First of all, you should wear this," Lirita took off a small piece of the chest guard from her armor's chest and taught me a spell, "When you're about to use it, chant the spell and it will appear on your body on its own, you try it." β
I took the chest guard from her and was about to take off my armor...... I found that Lirita had been looking at me, not trying to divert her gaze.
"You ......," I was a little embarrassed, "can you turn your head and admire something else first?"
"No, you're just an ordinary human male," she said, "and for me, your body is the same as a tree, a drop of water, there's no essential difference, so you don't have to worry about me having trouble with that." β
"You don't, but I do!" I laughed, "if the priests of the temple knew that I had changed my armor in front of you, I would have been crushed by them!"
She didn't talk nonsense with me, pointed her finger at me a little...... I heard a "clanging" sound, and all the silver armor on my body fell to the ground.
OK...... I have a little bit of clothes inside.
"You like black, don't you?" Lirita thought for a moment, and with a flick of her slender hand in the air, a black samurai suit began to be applied to me. Shake it again. A silver belt appeared around my waist. The belt is also tightened with a "whirring"!
I'm so scared! I don't know what to do! I'm forced to put on various poses to meet this qiΔ! At this moment, the body flying in the air is not mine at all, and just now my hands are stiff and I raise my clothes at the same time, and immediately my two legs are roughly brought together by the force that doesn't know where it comes from, and I am swallowed by the pants that are flying with two holes open......
I don't know how other people would react in such a situation, but I didn't dare to resist. It's just that there are inexplicable multiple clothes on her body, belts or something, but it's nothing, if she is upset, a giant axe on her head falls down with a "bang...... Am I wronged?
"What's the shortcoming?" she said to herself, and I didn't dare interrupt. "That's right, shoes!"
At Lirita's urging, I began to tremble and equip the armor to protect my chest.
The chest guard is not large, just enough to cover the entire left breast, it is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, like an irregular triangle. As soon as I placed it, the two corners of the lower edge of the chest guard each extended a strap to wrap around my back, and one end of the strap went from my back to my left shoulder and went straight into the third corner.
When the strap tightens on its own, the shape of the corners of the chest guard begins to change. It gradually became consistent with the shape of the muscles in my left breast, and the tight fit was like my second skin.
"That's good. Lirita looked at me and nodded, "It's not exactly the same, it's not much the same!"
"Big sister!" I said, "may I have an opinion?"
"Absolutely. β
"May I ask who is the original version of this look now?" I said cautiously, "it looks so tasteful......
"Original?, that's a very apt word," Lirita said, "this is the outfit of the first generation of Demon Killers!"
It was dark for a while, and I fell to the ground with a "snap...... Thousands of choices, but it turned out to be a set of demon equipment!
"What are you doing?" said Lirita with a smile, "It's your choice." β
"But you didn't say it was demon armor!" I groaned, "and ...... Or did some Killing Demon wear it? If I dressed like this, I would be ...... as soon as I walked out of your palace God and man chopped into meat sauce!"
Lirita shook her head, "No, the armor is just armor, it doesn't have a position in itself. β
"But it's not a good reputation," I said, "can we do it all over again?"
She shook her head.
"You put on your armor first," said Lirita to me, "I'll tell you something." β
I nodded helplessly and began to try to summon a full suit of armor with a spell.
As the incantation was chanted, the black armor that had been floating in the air began to disappear from my chest piece by piece, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared around the chest guard on my chest, and the speed became faster and faster...... Becoming complete in the endless sound of "banging", I involuntarily raised my arms, and a huge cloak was windless and automatic, and a "whew" unfolded behind me!
"See for yourself," Lirita said with a water mirror in front of me, "how's it going?"
The mirror is shining, the water is long, and I look at the majestic reflection in the middle, and I can't help but feel a little trance at this moment.
In the helmet adorned with several long and short streamers, under the straight and wide shoulder armor, in the chestplate with clear angles and soft beauty, under the dull luster of the whole body armor, this man wrapped in black metal...... Is it really me?
In a trance, the reflection in the mirror seemed to come to life, and he smiled at me, and I actually saw thousands of troops roaring towards me in the mirror......
It's not me!
Under this unexplained impulse, I almost couldn't help but rush to the reflection in the mirror and take off his armor to see what was going on!
As I reached out to the mirror, I was startled, knowing that I was almost bewitched by the sight.
Turning to look at Lirita, although I didn't quite understand it in my heart, I knew that it must have something to do with her!
"Congratulations," who knew that Lirita was as calm as ever, and only said lightly, "Governor Cohen, your gaze is much clearer than before you came here. β
"If Her Highness Lirita wills," I said, taking off my helmet and holding it to my chest, "I would like to hear what you are about to tell me." β
"This is one of the tests I've been in charge of you," Lirita said as she walked to a row of weapons, examining them one by one. "Everybody has to be tested by me. You've gotten guΓ². β
"What if the others don't wear this armor?" I followed her. "What are you going to do, Your Highness Lirita?"
"It doesn't matter what you wear," she said, picking up a one-handed sword and playing with it, "I'll do it before the other person inadvertently completes the test." β
"Really?"
"Don't try to tell your friend," she said, looking at the sword in her hand, then at me, and shaking her head and picking up another one, as if to pick out the decorations for her doll, "that would not be good for their test." β
"That's right. I said, "I see." β
"Well," she finally chosen, "this one looks good." β
"This ......," I watched as she placed a miniature oval shield on the armor of my left forearm, "too small, isn't it?"
"Not small," Lirita looked at me with satisfaction, "done!"
I smiled wryly and said, "Your Highness Lirita, do you treat everyone you test like this?"
"You say the Terrans who don't dare to lift their heads on their knees?" Lirita raised her eyebrows, "seeing the filthy faces. Begging, despicable face. What was heard was a low, cowering, lifeless voice...... Would you do that?"
"If there's a benefit," I blurted out, "I will." β
Her Royal Highness Lirita's brows furrowed, and then she stretched out again, but such a small movement made me sweat with fright!
"That's what sets you apart from them. β
Did she compliment me?
"Walk, Governor Cohen," she said, as she walked out, "in view of the results of the test, I give it to you...... You have the right to walk side by side with me, but if you dare to go one step further, I will punish you. β
Now was not a good time to negotiate prices, so I hurried a few steps to keep up.
"Everything on your body, including clothes and armor, must only be used for your own use and must not be lost," Lirita said as she walked, "or I will put you to death with my own hands." β
"Yes. β
"You are not allowed to divulge anything about me to the lives of all other races, including what I have said or done," Lirita said in a cold tone, "If you violate it, I will also put you to death with my own hands." β
"Yes. β
"What's the doubt?" said Lirita, "it seems like you're not in the mood. β
Isn't it strange that I'm not in high spirits?
"There are so many questions," I said, "what is the origin of all these things on me?"
"That samurai suit is called 'Sleep Suit' and it will hypnotize your enemies in the heat of combat," Lirita said, "The name of the belt is 'Wind Bondage', and the boots are 'Roar of Fury'...... If your abilities increase, their effectiveness will increase accordingly, which can help you defeat stronger enemies. β
"So powerful?" I said, "and why don't I feel it?"
"These equipment need to become familiar with your aura," Lirita said, "and when they agree with you, you'll be able to use them." β
"And what about this armor?" I always wanted to ask this the most, "the whole armor is not damaged!"
"You don't understand, I'm not referring to the damage to the armor itself," she smiled, "but the ninefold magical curse that was originally blessed on this armor." β
"Magic curse? or nine...... Kuju?" I almost lost my head, "I've never heard of this kind of magic!"
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it," Lirita said, "it's the special magic of the demons." β
"The Demon of Slaughter is a powerful being. Lirita paused and ran her hand through her somewhat stray hair, "When you besieged him that day...... That scene is still vivid in my mind. β
We had walked out of her palace and were standing side by side on the long jade steps. The mountain wind swept by, and I picked up the huge cloak from my armor and let it stretch out and "hunt".
"The Demon of Killing is actually not a demon, but a human being, because he was lured by the Demon Race to join the Demon King, and was named the first generation of Demon Killing by the Demon King, his body and mind were all demonized," Venina's voice sounded so distant, "At that time, it was a critical juncture a year before the Great War of Gods and Demons, and within half a year, there were no less than twenty emperors, ministers, and generals of the Divine Alliance who died under him...... For a while, all the clans in the Bis Continent were helpless against him, which directly affected the outcome of the current war between gods and demons. β
In order to stop him from continuing to kill, not only did the elites of the countries of the Divine Alliance come out, but the god of war of the Protoss Daweid personally led twelve god generals to hunt him down! Just to surround him, the Divine Alliance cost the lives of more than three hundred elites...... At that time, there were only seven Magisters on the Bis Continent, and there were five in the Divine Alliance, which could be said to be the generation with the most Magisters in the Divine Alliance in history, but all of them died under his sword. β
"He's been here before, he's walked on this stairs, he's been my reception...... When I arrived, I couldn't see the shadow of the young man who had come to see me like you did today, and the one standing in front of me was completely a demon. β
"Under the siege of the god of war and the twelve god generals, he has been laughing, smiling so calmly, smiling so heartily...... It was as if all his life had been spent on this battle. Even in the interval between being besieged by my Protoss, he was able to take the lives of so many human races. β
"When the martial arts reach his level, it can't be an advantage over him in terms of numbers...... Almost all magic can't hurt him, and the twelve gods will have a hard time coping with it, even the god of war, David, is already injured......"
"But the twelve gods will eventually kill him...... His laughter didn't stop until he died, and the demons he had been working for didn't come to his rescue. He was very stubborn, stubborn and died, with his head held high, proud and lonely......"
I listened to this story without a trace of anger or sorrow, filled with deep regret in my heart that I could not see the mighty wind of the Killing Demon......
"Does his death have anything to do with you?" I whispered to Her Highness Liretta, "You were there." β
"Before he was defeated, I lifted his armor," said Princess Lirita, "and I lifted his entire suit of armor with my own hands, which is the one you are wearing now." β
"This armor was given to him that day, and it was originally golden," Lirita looked at me, "and it turned black after being cursed by the demon blessings. I took it back and begged my father to remove the curse from it, but I couldn't bless any more magic...... Do you know why I sued you for this story?"
I shook my head.
"You are presumptuous and arrogant, very similar to him. But I'm not intolerant of you," she said, "I just want you to know that if one day you dare to betray, I will ......"
"You're going to put me to death with your own hands!" I said, "You've said it many times!"
Her Highness Lirita gave me a deep look, "He wasn't as frank as you that day, and he was far less annoying than you. β
I laughed.
"Excuse me," I said, sitting down on the steps and looking at her face from below, "when did this happen? How can I say that I am a governor, and how have I never heard of it?"
"More than 3,000 years ago. β
"Three thousand...... ......," I was dumbfounded, "and you...... You...... It's not just ......."
"What?" (to be continued......)
