Chapter Seventy-One: The Fallen Lion [VI.]

Looking at Holt's desperate eyes, Cohen was also extremely entangled in his heart at this time, it should not be a big problem to let Xuelu cure Camille, but in case Hult asked him to help the two of them escape from the Lion Crusader City, with his own character, he would definitely not refuse, but taking this step, Cohen and the others may face an abyss, as long as the slightest mistake occurs, they will die without a place to be buried, this point, Cohen is extremely clear.

"Let's wait for Xuelu to cure Camille!" Cohen sighed, he couldn't refuse Hot at a glance, looking at the dirty Hult, he should have lived a carefree and luxurious life with his parents at his age, but this joke that fate played with him was a bit big. Or the only thing he can trust now is Camille, who lies in the back room and whose life is uncertain.

After hearing Cohen's decision, Hult choked and let go of his hands, and his mouth was even more indistinct and repeated words of thanks, at least at this moment, Cohen's decision gave him a glimmer of hope, as long as Camille's sister recovered, Hult felt that he would be able to escape the clutches of his two brothers.

"Let's rest for a while, Xuelu needs a little time!" Cohen looked at the harsh surroundings, found a slightly clean stone and sat down, took out the water bladder from the ring and drank it quietly. Holt looked at Cohen, who was resting, stepped forward cautiously, and whispered, "Can you give me something to eat, Sister Camille and I haven't eaten for almost a day." Hearing Holt's request, Cohen hurriedly took out dried meat and water from the ring and handed it to Hoth, saying, "Eat slowly, I still have a lot here, you don't have to worry about Camille starving." ”

Hult snatched the jerky and sat down near Cohen and devoured it, it was the first time he had starved since he was sensible, and the half of the brown bread Camille had given him last night was already the last dinner of the day. By the evening of the next day, Hort was so hungry that he planned to take Camille's sleep out of the alley to find some food to satisfy his hunger, but he met Cohen and his party when he walked to the mouth of the alley.

"Can you tell me what your two brothers are trying to do with you, Hult?" asked Cohen, shaking the water bladder in his hand, thoughtfully.

Hult was swallowing the fat jerky at this time, his little mouth was bulging, he chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it, and then lifted the water bladder and poured sweet water into it, when the fat jerky and sweet water moistened the hungry body, Hult burped beautifully, turned to look at Cohen, and said, "Can you have a little more? This is the most delicious food I have ever eaten, there is no one!"

Cohen looked at Hot speechlessly, took out a piece of jerky from the ring and handed it over, Hult said thank you, took the jerky and ate it again. When the second piece of jerky fell into his stomach, Hott stretched out his meaty tongue and licked his lips, held his small chin and thought for a while, and said: "The cause of all this has to start with my father's illness, two years ago, my father personally led the Black Rock Skull Escort Group to crusade against the bandits in the Longze Mountains of Shenglin County, this was originally just a very ordinary thing, in the eyes of the father of Chongwu, it is the glory of a warrior to personally go into battle to kill the enemy, so he has been happy to do it for many years." Six days later, the father returned triumphantly and held a celebration banquet in the palace, listening to the accompanying Black Rock skeleton guards say that the bandits were not vulnerable at all, the father held the cross giant sword and rushed to the strongest side of the team, countless bandits died under the sharp blades, and the most powerful father killed the leader of the bandits with his own hands, and hung his body on the main road of the Longze Mountains as a warning. When Hult said this, his little eyes were full of adoration.

"I have heard that every Anasta heir who has become a king is the strongest heroic warrior in terms of combat power, and his unfathomable combat power is far superior to that of the legendary fighters of the Holy See. At this time, Cohen remembered the legendary fighter he encountered in Crescent Lake that day, and his unparalleled combat power was the strongest man who could not defeat the royal city, the heroic warrior.

Hott nodded and continued, "I once heard Adrian Charles, the leader of the Black Rock Skull Guard, say that my father's combat power can rank among the top three in the entire Noah continent, and even stronger than the kings of previous generations. ”

Hearing this, Cohen suddenly asked, "What about the king's illness?"

After the feast that night, my father and several generals who had been born and died continued to stay in the main hall to drink and chat, and at midnight, my father felt a splitting headache, but he didn't take it seriously at the time, just an ordinary cold attack. After all, he had drunk strong wine all day, and the night breeze was cold, and under the persuasion of the generals, his father had no choice but to break up the banquet and go back to his room to rest. But that night, my father had been having nightmares, and what appeared in the dream was the gang of bandits in the Longze Mountains who turned into unjust souls and disturbed dreams. Originally, his father, who had been fighting horses all his life, had already been accustomed to the battle career of horses stepping on white bones, and the cross-sword he carried had killed countless people, but his father firmly believed that he was born for the country and the people, so he never was disturbed by the so-called unjust soul under the sword in his life. But now that such a thing happened suddenly, coupled with the fact that my father was getting old, he became suspicious of some groundless things, and he fell ill after coming and going. Hult still remembers the horror of his father drinking alone after being awakened from a nightmare.

Cohen reached out and rubbed Holt's little head, and said, "The king fell ill two years ago, and then your two brothers felt that the opportunity had come, and they began to compete for the position of crown prince?"

Hult was silent, he clearly remembered that the royal brother used the summer hunting festival to force his father to abdicate, and the ugly face of the eldest royal brother Douglas at that time still made Holt feel unappetizing. Hult held his knees with both hands, buried his little head tightly in it, tears flowed out uncontrollably, and he choked up and said: "My father's illness is getting worse and worse with time, but the two elder brothers wish that their father would return to the arms of the gods as soon as possible, and only the third princess Sylvana has been by her side to take care of her father." And what made my father even more chilling was that the queen mother actually helped the eldest brother Douglas to fight for power, and kept saying many vicious things in front of his father every day, wanting to anger his father as soon as possible. I saw all this, but my strength was too weak to help my father. If I have enough strength, I must have them pay for their mistakes with their lives!!" Saying this, Hult finally hugged his knees and cried bitterly, and the resentment that had been accumulated in his heart for many years finally exploded at this moment.

"It's more comfortable to cry!" Looking at Holt, Cohen's heart twitched for no reason, this inexplicable feeling had been experienced in Rachel, the deep sense of helplessness and the hope that he would be recognized by others could make a person's heart more powerful, and even become a fierce beast that destroyed everywhere. At this moment, Cohen was confused.

When the bright stars filled the dark night sky, Haute had already put away his crying and sat quietly on the ground, looking at the rock house with blank eyes, when he vented all the negative emotions in his heart, the whole person relaxed, at this time he just hoped that Xuelu could cure Camille, and then Camille and himself left this cold royal city and found a small place to live a peaceful life incognito.

"Squeak!!"

A dull sound of the door opening came from the rock house, Hult and Cohen hurriedly stood up, only to see Xuelu walk out with a pale face, and when they saw the two of them coming over, they reluctantly showed a smile and said, "She is fine, as long as she has a good night's rest, she can go down to the ground tomorrow." However, she could no longer use her combat skills for a short period of time after her injuries had just recovered, otherwise her life's cultivation could only stop at this stage, and it would be difficult to advance an inch. ”

After hearing the news that Camille was out of danger, Hult hugged Xuelu's hands out of shape, and couldn't help choking up: "Xie Lu thank you for saving Sister Camille, I will definitely repay you for this kindness, Sister Xuelu!" Xuelu smiled and rubbed Hult's forehead and smiled: "I didn't save Camille in return for you, little guy!"

"You're fine, Xuelu!" Cohen asked with a caring gesture as he took out a bag of water and handed it to Xuelu.

Xuelu took the water bag and unscrewed the lid and took a small sip, then let out a long sigh of relief and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the mental power is overdepleted, just rest for a night." After speaking, he walked to Cohen's side with a smile, gently held his right hand, and whispered in Cohen's ear: "Are you so nervous about me?" Cohen nodded awkwardly, answered Xuelu's question, and then asked, "Then how is Camille now, can you go in and see her?"

"Wait a minute, she's changing her clothes. Xuelu looked at the Iwaya, calculated the time, and then said, "Why don't you wait here, I'll go in and help her out to move, after all, the bone erosion toxin will cause certain sequelae when it attacks." With that, he let go of Cohen's hands and walked straight into the house.

After a while, Camille, who was dressed in a gray tights, walked out with the help of Xuelu, and seeing that Camille was in good health, Hoult rushed over and hugged her, crying loudly: "Sister Camille, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been so seriously injured, I hurt you!"

Camille shook his head and whispered in Hort's ear, "Hult, it's not your fault, it's my mission to protect your safety." After speaking, he raised his head to look at Xuelu and Cohen, and continued: "Xie Lu Xie two for their help, this kindness will be repaid by my two sisters and brothers in the future!" After speaking, he knelt down on one knee and expressed his gratitude to Cohen and Xuelu with a standard knightly salute.

At this time, Cohen suddenly said: "Camille, I have learned everything from Hoth, his real name is Anasta Elvis, the fourth prince of the Anasta Kingdom. You, on the other hand, are one of the bodyguards of the world-famous Black Rock Skull Guardian Regiment. I'm not wrong!"

Before Cohen's words fell, Camille put his arm around Hott behind him, looked at the two of them vigilantly, and said, "You were sent by Douglas?"

Cohen shook his head and said slowly, "I can help you escape from the royal city, I wonder if you are interested in coming in and talking." After saying that, he turned around and took Xuelu's little hand, and walked straight towards Iwaya, nodding to Camille as he entered the door.
