Chapter 749: Loki's Fiancée
Zhao Nan glanced at the name on the other party's head, and thought to himself that the road was really narrow, he had just had a grudge with a guy from the Seven Great Paladins before, and he didn't expect to meet the second Paladin so soon.
Ingtel - Seven Paladins (Marshals), LV90, HP: 1,820,000/1,820,000, MP: 290,000/290,000
"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your terms. Zhao Nan hugged Isabella's neck from behind and smiled.
Inglet's face sank, and his body leaned forward slightly to make a move, and at this time, Zhao Nan's voice came again.
"Please don't move, or I'll break her neck. ”
Zhao Nan said with a little force, and Isabella in his arms immediately let out a painful snort.
"Let her go, I can let you go. Ingel's face was even more ugly, if it weren't for Isabella in the other party's hands, he would have been eager to slash at Zhao Nan's neck with a sword right now.
In addition, Ingotl didn't understand that he had stabbed him with his sword just now, and he also heard the sound of entering the flesh, but why was the other party not injured?
Ingotl naturally didn't know that the injuries on Zhao Nan's body had been corrected by the system when he rushed out of the carriage, so now he didn't have the slightest wound on his body.
"You stand still here, I'll let her go as long as it's safe to leave. Zhao Nan said as he began to look at his surroundings.
This seems to be the interior of a courtyard, it is estimated that Isabella deliberately let the carriage drive in order to catch Zhao Nan, surrounded by high white walls, and only a doorway not far behind her can leave.
"No, what if you hurt Her Excellency Isabella after you escape?" Regarding Zhao Nan's request, Ingotel naturally vetoed it.
"Then it won't work, I'll have to kill her and fight you again. Zhao Nan looked at Ingletle with a grin. The movement of grasping the neck slowly tightened, and Isabella showed a suffocating expression.
"Stop, I promise you. Ingtel reluctantly put his sword back into his waist and ordered the others to stop the siege.
"Good. Zhao Nan laughed, then caught her under the ribs in Isabella's exclamation, and quickly ran towards the exit of the courtyard, and soon disappeared into the night.
"What should I do, my lord?" asked one of his men, walking up to Ingtel's side.
"Inform Lord Sword Emperor that an intruder has broken into the Holy Spirit City, and inform him that His Excellency Isabella has been taken hostage. Ingtel thought about it for a moment and said.
"Yes. ”
"And. Order the guards in the castle not to approach each other at will, lest Lord Isabella be killed. ”
"Understood. ”
After receiving the order to leave, the corners of Inglet's mouth twitched, and a helpless expression appeared on his face, "Bastard." I originally thought that guarding the Holy Spirit City was a beautiful errand, but it turned out that this kind of unfortunate thing happened in the first month after taking over. If it is not handled well. I'm afraid even the Pope won't be able to protect me. ”
After that, Ingtel's face became gloomy, and the golden fighting spirit on his body flashed, and he flew into the night sky with a whoosh, catching up in the direction of Zhao Nan's escape.
Meanwhile.
After Zhao Nan escaped from the heavily guarded courtyard with Isabella, he did not run directly to the depths of the Holy Spirit City. Instead, he found a building that resembled a warehouse and hid in the night.
Through the window of the warehouse, Zhao Nan could see that not long after he hid in, a group of Holy Spirit City soldiers wearing silver-white armor ran past with weapons. It seemed that he chased in the direction that Zhao Nan had just escaped, and he didn't realize that Zhao Nan was hiding in a warehouse close by.
It wasn't until there was no sound outside that Zhao Nan put Isabella down and looked at her funny: "You are quite calm, you didn't make a call to lure those soldiers over so closely." ”
"Hmph, I'm afraid I'll let you kill you with just one mouth. Isabella sat on the ground, rubbed her red neck that was scratched by Zhao Nan and said lightly.
"That's right. Zhao Nan actually did not deny his intentions, and admitted it very happily, indeed, if Isabella screamed just now, he would not hesitate to twist her neck, although Zhao Nan would not make a move on a woman, but the premise was that the woman was not a threat to him.
Feeling Zhao Nan's killing intent, although Isabella was still very calm on the surface, she was a little apprehensive in her heart, recalling the feeling of not being able to breathe just now, a trace of sweat oozed from her forehead.
"You've escaped now, so can I go?" I don't know how long it was, Isabella asked tentatively.
"Not really. Zhao Nan replied without thinking about it.
"Weishenme, now that you have gotten rid of Lord Ingtel, apart from him, the other soldiers of Spirit City are not your opponents at all, what is the use of you taking me with you. ”
"Have you forgotten? I came to the City of the Holy Spirit to find your holy woman. Zhao Nan said lightly.
"......" Isabella was silent for a while, half a sound, she looked up at Zhao Nan and asked, "Do you really know the Holy Maiden?"
"Of course, you're kidding me?" Zhao Nan said as he looked at her.
"Okay, I'll take you to the Holy Maiden. Isabella gritted her teeth.
"You don't want to trick me again, do you? You took me to the paladin's encirclement. Zhao Nan grinned at Isabella.
"Hmph, aren't you afraid?" said Isabella.
"It's not that I'm afraid, I'm just feeling uncomfortable. Zhao Nan shrugged, then looked at her, "And I have you as a shield, I don't think they will mess around." ”
Isabella's face changed slightly, and she lowered her head and stopped talking.
"I'm curious, what kind of identity are you, not only can you freely enter and exit the Holy Spirit City in the middle of the night, but even the paladin just now seems to be quite worried about your safety. Zhao Nan continued.
"It's none of your business. Isabella didn't mean anything at all, and turned around and didn't pay any attention to Zhao Nan anymore.
Zhao Nan didn't have to ask clearly, but he was just a little curious, and seeing that Isabella no longer paid attention to herself, she pouted and didn't bother to ask again.
The two stayed in the warehouse for about half an hour, and when they made sure that no one had walked outside, Zhao Nan walked up to Isabella and grabbed her with one hand.
"You...... What are you doing?" Isabella said nervously.
"I'm leaving. Ignoring Isabella's protests, Zhao Nan hugged her thin waist and carried her onto her shoulders.
"Bastard, I'll go myself. ”
"Please. You don't seem to know martial arts, I'm not visiting the garden, I can't wait for your ladylike pace. Judging from Isabella's reaction, Zhao Nan had already seen that she did not have any combat power at all and was an ordinary aristocratic girl.
"But ......"
"Say, where the Holy Maiden lives. ”
Before Isabella finished speaking, Zhao Nan had already interrupted and asked.
"Jade Light Pagoda, after you go out for a while, go in the direction of the east, and you can see that the tallest building over there is the Jade Light Pagoda, where the Holy Maiden rests. Isabella said helplessly.
"That's it, then you hurry up. Zhao Nan said. He carried Isabella out of the warehouse and walked along the tall walls at great speed in the direction Isabella had said.
"Bastard, where is your hand...... along the way, Isabella let out a scream of shame from time to time, and Zhao Nan carried her again. From time to time, her hands sank into her hips, making it impossible for her to keep her calm.
"Can you be quiet? I'll kill you if someone finds out. Zhao Nan threatened as he ran.
“......”
This time. Another palace located in the City of the Holy Spirit. Loki has received reports of an Assassin invasion of the Holy Spirit. Hearing this, Loki was also slightly surprised.
Since the Holy King unified the continent of Adras three years ago, all the old shili have surrendered, except for a few stubborn rebels, and this kind of invasion of the Holy Spirit City has never happened.
"How many assassins are there?" asked Loki in a deep voice.
"Only...... One. The soldier in charge of the report said in a trembling voice.
"It's just an assassin, and you haven't caught it yet?," Loki asked, a little displeased.
"Lord Ingletel is chasing the other side. The soldier said this. His expression became even paler, he hesitated slightly, and then said in a trembling voice: "Lord Sword Emperor, except for the problem of assassins. The villain has another problem to report to the adult. ”
"Say something quickly. Hearing that Ingletl had gone after the assassin in person, Loki was a little relieved, after all, the other party was one of the seven holy knights, and there should not be many people who could escape from him.
"This ...... Miss Isabella somehow came to the City of the Holy Spirit tonight, she ...... She happened to be held hostage by the Assassins. After the soldier finished speaking, he was already prostrate on the ground trembling, waiting for the wrath of his master.
Thinking of Isabella's relationship with the Sword Emperor, as the soldier on duty who was responsible for guarding the Holy Spirit City tonight, they had an unshirkable responsibility, if they couldn't rescue Isabella tonight, this soldier couldn't imagine what kind of punishment he would receive.
However, the soldier who was frightened and waiting for the thunderous wrath of his master knelt on the ground for a long time, still not hearing any scolding, and felt that the others raised his head slightly and glanced at it, only to see a complicated expression on his master's face.
Yes, Isabella is Loki's current fiancée, saying that she is a fiancée, but in fact, Loki himself has not seen each other a few times, and Loki does not quite admit this marriage in his heart.
Here's the thing.
Ever since Loki followed the Holy King to unify the continent of Eldras, the Holy King has been ignoring the political affairs of the continent of Eldras. This is a pain for Loki, who is one of the three undead Praetorian Guards, and in order to control the situation, Loki has to appoint some kings and officials from the old Shili.
Over time, with more contacts with these people, Loki also learned the social etiquette and political skills of the aristocracy, and knew how to buy people's hearts and make the other party sincerely work for him.
About a year ago, the commander of an army in charge of the north said that he would return to his hometown, and the north was a place where the rebels were active, and where the rebels had been fighting guerrilla warfare with him, Loki had a headache for a long time.
The commander said that he would not do it, this is difficult for Loki, the north was originally the territory of the orc race, since the invasion of the dragon, where has become more barren and desolate, many people are respectful of everywhere, the old commander is well governed over there, although it is not enough to crusade against those rebels, but it can at least play a role as a counterbalance.
Now that he's not doing it, it's hard for Loki to find someone else to replace him.
Just when Loki was troubled at that time, the old commander actually put forward a condition, saying that as long as Loki was willing to marry the granddaughter of their family, the old commander was willing to stay in the north and fight for the Holy King until Zuihou for a moment.
Thinking of this, this Loki was also a little confused, for the conditions proposed by the old commander at that time, Loki was naturally very prevaricated at first, but something happened afterwards, and somehow agreed.
As a result, the aristocratic girl named Isabella moved from the north to the Holy Capital, and a grand engagement ceremony was held that year, and Loki had a fiancée in a daze.
The fiancée of the Sword Emperor, Isabella, became one of the few people who could freely enter and leave the Holy Spirit City, and later she became friends with the Holy Maiden, so no one in the entire Holy Spirit City did not know her identity, and even the seven paladins who were responsible for guarding the Holy Spirit City were also respectful to her.
For such a fiancée, Loki still resisted in his heart, and if he didn't talk about it today, he even forgot, but now that he mentioned it, Loki remembered another person in his heart.
"Cagalli, what's wrong with me, is it because it's been too long, so I forgot about you?" Recalling the process of his confused engagement, Loki blamed himself a little, and he still remembered his childhood friend who had been dead for many years.
In order to resurrect the girl named Cagalli, Loki followed Zhao Dong for this reason three years ago, but three years later, he still hasn't found any way to resurrect her.
I'm sorry I let you down. Loki took a deep breath and stood up, saying to the soldier who was still on his knees, "Miss Isabella in the hands of that assassin?"
"Yes...... Yes. The soldier immediately reported.
"No matter what, you can't let people go. Loki sighed, then walked out under the stunned gaze of the soldier, and after a while, there was a sound of breaking the air outside, and Loki had already flown away.
......
"So you're Loki's fiancée?" Along the way, when Zhao Nan was hiding from the soldiers who were chasing him, he learned from the soldiers that he was holding the girl hostage, and looked at her with some surprise.
"Loki, what do you say Lord Sword Emperor?" is still clear about her fiancé's name, Isabella, but no one dares to call the Sword Emperor's name directly, so after listening to Zhao Nan at first, Isabella took a while to react.
"Sword Emperor, this kid still has such a title, it seems that I haven't seen him for three years, and this guy is getting more and more stubborn. Zhao Nan said.
"It's true that I'm the fiancée of the Sword Emperor, but ...... I don't even remember what he looked like. Isabella said suddenly.
Although she came to the Holy Spirit City almost every day, she went to the Holy Maiden's dormitory every time, and she didn't see her fiancé a few times, for this marriage, Isabella was originally very longing, after all, marrying one of the supreme rulers of the Adras continent is the wish of most women.
"Is that so?" Hearing Isabella suddenly say this, Zhao Nan understood a little, it seems that Loki still misses the dead childhood sweetheart. (To be continued......)
