97. The mage returns
As the ceremony was completed, the queen's face became better, and she was even able to walk on the ground occasionally, making the king more and more at ease with the doctor.
So he focused on sending troops to search for the whereabouts of Ice Grass.
And the unattended young master Depp, who sees only a weak mother and a busy father every day, his heart has become more lonely, and the people around him are afraid of him, only Tasil can communicate with you, and he trusts Tashir more and more.
Tasil saw in the notes, Master Depp's affirmation and dependence on him, and inadvertently shed tears, what a happy childhood they had, if it weren't for what happened to the queen, they would still be very happy now.
The king searched every cave in the kingdom and found no ice grass, and at this time a minister wrote that he had seen this thing before, in the caves of a nearby town, but that the town belonged to another lord.
So after the negotiation failed, the king organized an army to occupy the territory, but his own army also suffered heavy losses, and the corpses everywhere were simply shocking.
At this time, the queen's illness became more and more serious, and the doctor said that it was because pigs, cows, and sheep were animals after all, and the blood of humans was far from humans.
So the target of the red-eyed bat changed from an animal to a minion, and every servant who has been sucked blood will forget the fact that they have been sucked blood, they just feel that their health is getting worse and worse, until they fall to the ground.
The minion's bizarre death, coupled with his father's increasingly silent attitude, finally attracted the attention of Master Depp, so he investigated privately and finally discovered the doctor's secret.
Every few days, she would take advantage of the king's absence, by climbing into the king's study, and this time, the curious young master Depp also followed, from the window to see everything, those bats are under her control, constantly instilling blood in her body, and every time she absorbs the blood, she will touch her stomach with satisfaction, with a loving expression, as if there is something inside.
The day of the exchange of blood for the queen was at the end of each month, so the physician's actions were clearly for herself.
Realizing that the young master Depp was here, he felt that something was wrong and wanted to tell his father, but suddenly a pair of eyes looked at him, and in the next moment, he only felt that his body was loose, and he fell off the windowsill.
Three days later, he had broken his leg and had been stabbed in the face with several long scars, and he was sitting next to his tearful mother and Tasir.
His mother took off the emerald necklace and told him that the necklace was a family heirloom, and since he was poisoned, he was asked by his father to wear it all day long, so that he could protect himself from evil spirits.
Faced with the necklace that his mother insisted on putting on him, Master Depp couldn't refuse, so he could only put it on.
While recuperating from his illness, he also heard the news of the great victory of his army, and legend has it that a mysterious force crushed three times the number of enemies on the opposite side and helped his army achieve victory.
He limped to the study, wanting to share the joy with his father, only to find that the guard was not there, and the door was still ajar, and he leaned over and heard his father talking to an old woman.
And that old woman was the mage he had seen in his childhood, who had been banished.
Why did she come back again?
"Didn't you say that the alien body can be controlled? How could he ignore the enemy and kill everyone present" was the voice of the father.
"The ability of the alien body is still in the experimental stage, and there may be small mistakes, Your Majesty, I told you before" A cold voice sounded.
"What is called a small mistake, 20,000 soldiers died like this, it is all human life!" King Rahifer angrily pounded the table in front of him.
"My Majesty, at least the result is good, we have defeated one of the strongest lords, and the rest will only need to be cleaned up a little," said the old woman with satisfaction as she put her hand on the king's hand.
But the next moment the king quickly withdrew his hand, glanced at her with disgust, and said solemnly:
"You'd better let your bats find the whereabouts of the ice grass, otherwise, next time it won't be as simple as expelling!"
The old woman's face turned cold, and then she smiled again:
"Yes, Your Majesty"
Then he silently retreated, and happened to meet Young Master Depp, who was standing at the door in amazement.
She just glanced at Young Master Depp contemptuously, turned around and left, but her back made Young Master Depp feel very familiar.
The king was also very surprised to see Master Depp, pulled him into the room, and asked with concern:
"Depp, are your injuries healed?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his face solemn again, and coldly commanded:
"Don't do anything like climbing a window again! I didn't look like a young master at all! Go down! ”
The chill in his eyes made Young Master Depp suddenly feel a burst of fear, and even forgot what he wanted to say in an instant, and it took a long time for him to understand his father's state of mind at that time.
Master Depp wrote:
"I didn't understand what my father was thinking at the time, why he was so strict with me, always asking me to be like an adult, I needed to study, exercise, treat people, and even leave the servants to me to manage, I only knew that he was moody, busy all day, and didn't even have time to eat, and then I realized that maybe my father at that time was not sure of his mood, he was originally a benevolent king, but for the sake of his mother, he had to wage war to conquer other countries, and he also had to appoint his own banished bat mage, Let her bats spread all over the plains, looking for the whereabouts of the ice grass, and let the bats continue to suck blood to keep his mother alive, he is a competent husband, and even made the decision that once his mother is completely healed, he will give up the throne and take his mother away from the center of power, so he taught me coldly and harshly, wanting me to become an independent emperor, but in my childhood, I was like a lamb that could not do without a ewe, and refused to bear all this, how disappointed he was at that time......
Tasil sighed deeply, unspeakable things became a nightmare for Master Depp, making his childhood life full of loneliness.
Next, one evening, Princess Sisi, who had not been seen for a long time, that is, the aunt of Young Master Depp, suddenly returned, but her arrival did not bring joy to the kingdom, but brought a heavy haze.
