Chapter Twenty-Nine: Tears
"Lie down! Listen to me!" Fei Shi whispered in Bai Wen's ear as she leaned over.
Bai Wen was very helpless, sat on the ground with his butt and stared at Fei Shi. He didn't ask a question, but the anger in his eyes was almost about to erupt.
In the end, Bai Wen chose to listen.
Completely ignoring the laughter of others, the child played like a scoundrel and lay down on his back. The others laughed even harder.
"The person you want to drag out the seventh prince can now be taken away by the guards!" Fei Shi pointed to Bai Wen lying on the ground and motioned to the guards at the entrance of the tent.
"Before, the king wanted to drag him out, but you blocked him from exiting. Now this king will keep him, and you will drag him out. The Seventh Prince stared at Fei Shi with a cold gaze, "Could it be that you came here to provoke this king?"
"I don't dare to make a mistake in the next. It's just that he didn't be able to deeply understand the prince's intentions before, and he was a little reckless in a hurry. I hope the seventh prince will forgive me. Fei Shi said unhurriedly, with an indifferent face. It was as if he didn't care about the Seventh Prince's questioning at all.
The seventh prince waved his hand and asked the guards to step forward to escort Bai Wen, but his eyes did not leave Fei Shi.
Bai Wen also wanted to get up and resist. But he was frozen by a swift imprisoning magic, and he couldn't move anymore, so he could only be dragged away by the guards.
"Comprehend the intent?" the Seventh Prince repeated playfully, "what do you understand?"
"The intention of killing!" Fei Shi did not shy away, "The person that the seventh prince wants to kill is not Bai Wen, but Zaixia." ”
"Oh, I kill for many reasons. But I'd like to hear what you say. ”
"In the last battle, the real commander of the Wyvern Army was me. Maybe the seventh prince had a hard time believing it, but it was the case. As for the results of the battle, although I don't know the details, I can deduce one or two from this banquet. ”
The Seventh Prince did not interrupt by speaking.
"Your sister, the Ninth Princess, was captured, and there was no Magister to come to the rescue. Instead, he sent Dong Chen as an envoy to negotiate and exchange the land of the six counties for the princess. If the humiliation is like this, I expected that something would be wrong! This banquet, the generals were full, but there were very few high-level magicians, so I was even more sure of my inference - your army of magicians must have suffered heavy casualties, and there was no strength to fight again. It's a pity ······"
Fei Shi didn't finish his words, shook his head and sighed.
The generals who were full of people, after listening to Fei Shi's inference, did not immediately change color. Without the core combat power of the magic legion, the singularity army at this time is indeed the end of the strong crossbow.
"It's a pity - Mo Zhide can't listen to you at all. Otherwise, let alone the land of six counties, even if it is twelve counties, I can only give it up. Because at this time, I don't have the qualifications to negotiate with him at all!" the Seventh Prince added what Fei Shi had not finished.
"I feel a pity, it's not because of the land of the six counties, after all, even if you get it, it's not mine. I regret that from now on, this world will be without me, how lonely it is!"
"So being too smart isn't necessarily a good thing. Do you have any other wishes?"
"Before I leave this world, I want to be full. ”
"I'm ready for you. ”
Fei Shi began to let go of his hands and feet, eating and drinking. In the past, he had always been cautious, and he had never drunk and eaten meat so unscrupulously. He thought he could swallow a table full of food, but he couldn't. A plate of fireworks demon pig's trotters, as soon as I finished eating the skin, I felt my stomach explode. Fei Shi could only force the food to be stuffed, and in order to avoid nausea, he had to force a glass of liquor for every bite of food.
"Ahem—"
Wine, choking in the throat, do not vomit unpleasantly.
Immediately, Fei Shi began to vomit. I ate something in my stomach before, and I vomited it out in one go. The man also fell into a drunken coma.
When she woke up, she found herself in a handsome tent, lying on an extremely comfortable couch.
"You're awake. The Seventh Prince sat behind his desk and said, "Have you made a decision, and although you have commanded the battle and destroyed our army of mages, I will not hate you for this, let alone kill you for it." On the contrary, I appreciate you. ”
Fei Shi sat dumbfounded, not responding.
"You're a smart guy with a genius command talent for combat. It's a pity that it was not recognized by Mo Zhide. Otherwise······"
Fei Shi still sat still.
"This king asks himself, he is quite open-minded and knows people well, if you serve under my account, it will definitely not be the current situation. Fei Shi, are you willing to serve me, and if you achieve something in the future, you will definitely not lose your glory and wealth. ”
Fei Shi looked at the desk with straight eyes and did not respond.
"It seems that your heart is still in creation. The seventh prince said a lot, but Fei Shi didn't react, he was quite angry in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, "Then I'll fulfill you." Drag this man down and execute him!"
"Hey-don't be in a hurry to kill me!" Fei Shi instantly came back to his senses and waved his hand to beg for mercy, "I am willing to serve His Highness for the work of dogs and horses, in order to thank His Highness for not killing." Surrendering to His Royal Highness is not because he is not loyal enough, but because he is forced by the situation, he has to do it as a last resort. ”
After this explanation, the seventh prince understood why he was kind enough to persuade him, but Fei Shi did not listen, and immediately relented after a slight threat.
"Since you have pledged your allegiance to me, come and drink this glass of water. The Seven Prince pointed to a water cup on his Android.
"I guess it's not just a glass of water. Fei Shi picked it up and drank it without hesitation.
"Well, I added a drop of 'tears' to the water. This poison is only ranked ninth on the list of strange poisons. ”
"It's a very good poison!" Fei Shi drank it all in one gulp, put down the empty cup, his face did not change, and said: "I heard that this poison has some very good functions. First, it can purify people's physique, promote cultivation, and the effect is not weaker than those precious pills. In addition, the timing of the poison can be controlled! In addition to the ugly appearance of the poisoned person's death, this poison can be called perfect. ”
"You have seen more than I expected. Do you know why this poison is called 'tears'?"
"I've heard of it. I heard that people who are poisoned, when the poison occurs, the liver and intestines are like thousands of ants biting, the whole body is sore, numb, itchy, unbearable, crying and laughing. Whether it's crying or laughing, tears will come out. In this way, the tears slowly drained, and then what flowed out was blood, and there was no need to wait for the blood to drain before the person died. I can imagine how miserable it must have been for someone to die like this. I heard that there is no cure for this poison. ”
"Your answer is absolutely correct! However, the last point is wrong, there is a cure for this poison. It's just the antidote, in my hands. Do you think of any medicine that can cure this poison?"
"Yes. ”
"There is only one thing needed to cure this poison - the tears of the gods!" said the seventh prince: "The tears of the gods are not the tears of the gods, but the crystallization of the strongest mortal spirits, left in the world when they transform into gods. Since the wolf god Taiyi proved the god, it has been nearly six hundred years, and there has been no strong person who has turned into a god. So there is no cure for 'tears'. However, in the royal treasury of the singularity, there are still three tears of the gods. As long as you help me complete my goal, I will take out the Tears of the Gods and save you and Bai Wen. ”
"What? You also gave Bai Wen 'tears'?" Fei Shi was very surprised, and his expression was still a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down. "I mean, it's really a waste to use such a precious poison on him. ”
"I think so too. The Seventh Prince nodded, "But in order for you to go all out, it's not a big deal to waste a little poison." ”
"Very good!" Fei Shi said, "I can use the Flying Dragon Army's secret weapon, the magic cannon, to help you complete the reversal of the tide of battle." Is this credit enough to exchange two antidotes?"
"At this time, completing the reversal of the tide of the war can not only keep the territory of the six counties of our country, but also take the opportunity to embezzle a large area of the resources of the world, which is really good. But how can you use the magic cannon? It's a weapon that even Mo Zhide can't use directly. ”
"I have a plan. "I can't have done it alone. But I have a very good friend in the Genesis Mage Legion, and he is a light star mage! At that time, the Seven Princes can use the remnants of the Griffin Legion to raid, capture the magic cannon, and complete the counter-attack against the Wyvern Army. ”
"Good idea. The Seventh Prince pondered for a while, and after thinking carefully, he finally rejected Fei Shi's plan, "But there are many risks, and no matter which link fails, it may bring us devastating consequences." ”
"So what do we have to do to get the antidote?"
"I will tell you this answer in Shenhui City, the capital of creation, provided that you accumulate enough merits before the end of the war, and rise to a high enough position to receive the opportunity to be awarded a medal by the king himself. Otherwise, you don't have a chance to live until next year, and you only have one year. ”
There is a high-ranking general training and transportation policy in the army of the Founding Empire, which is called: Bauhinia Medal Program. Every year, from the entire empire, up to a million troops, particularly outstanding military talents will be selected and sent to the Imperial Royal Military Academy for systematic training, and after graduation, they will be promoted to give back to the army. Even, at the graduation ceremony, the monarch of the empire would personally award these cadets with medals of honor. Originally, this was an effective policy to encourage ordinary soldiers to fight bravely, make meritorious achievements, and turn over to change their fate.
However, in fact, this shortcut has long been controlled by the nobles of the family. Ordinary soldiers, no matter how good their performance is, cannot win the favor of those who are selected from the top. And those children of the nobles of the family only need to go through the motions in the army to get a high position. The glory of the Bauhinia Medal has long existed in name only.
Fei Shi was silent, such a request was too difficult for him.
At present, he is only a small soldier, and there is an insurmountable distance from that glory. Even though he had already received the Order of the Bauhinia, it was only a reward, not the crowning glory. The time given by the seventh prince was only one year, which was very urgent, and he was not allowed to boil his qualifications and cultivate relationships, so that he could ascend to a high position and enjoy honor.
Most crucially, he doesn't have any background available. No matter how good the performance is, it will be ignored by those in power.
"I can't do it!" After a long silence, Fei Shi finally spoke.
"You can do it!" said the Seventh Prince affirmed, "don't forget, I'll support you." If you can't do it—you and Bai Wen will die!"
"Yes, I have to do it!" Fei Shi's fighting spirit rekindled, "As long as I can regain Mo Zhide's trust and control part of the military power, I am confident that with my command ability, I will occupy a place in the Flying Dragon Army." As for the Bauhinia Medal ······"
Fei Shi said this, and her brows couldn't help but lock deeply
"I'll give you a hint—He Hou!" said the Seventh Prince, "if you are good enough and have a good relationship with He Hou, the Bauhinia Order will not escape your grasp." Behind He Hou, there is the most powerful background of the Creation Empire. ”
"Thank you!" Fei Shi bowed deeply to the Seventh Prince, and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the person in front of him who controlled his life and death. Then he turned around and left, he didn't explain that he already had the Bauhinia Medal, thinking that with the intelligence ability of the Seventh Prince, he should have known this news a long time ago.
"I know your past at Singularity, and I regret and sympathize with what happened to you, after all—the world is harder to change than the war situation!" When Fei Shi walked out of the tent, the Seventh Prince stopped him: "I don't harbor any prejudice, I just hope that your trip will be successful!"
Fei Shi, who had his back to the Seventh Prince, burst into tears. Eventually, the figure disappeared into the night.
