[Slow Travel] Assassin System - Mingguang

"Your Highness, you shouldn't have said that..."

Junying sighed lowly. At this moment, he had completely given up his disguise, so a sinister smile appeared on the face that belonged to Duke Ertusa, "It's really cunning, you really How can I forgive you if I found the words I don't like to hear the most?"

Miao Xuan didn't answer, he didn't feel that he needed to pay attention to Junying outside of the battle, not to mention, he was not used to this kind of face-changing skill.

To be honest, this is indeed a very miraculous scene. The eagle and the real Duke Ertuza should be completely different people, but the eagle in disguise has almost perfectly played a new role, which is completely different in normal times. I can't see any sense of incongruity...

This guy is indeed versatile, and he probably learned a lot of skills in order to better disguise, it is really well-intentioned.

"It seems that this ship is destined to be a trap." Although Jun Ying didn't wait for a reply, Junying didn't care too much. He stood up calmly and looked at Miao Xuan through the decorative rose, with a still expression on his face. Everything is under control, "But your highness, it is not only the guillotine you choose, but also the... trap I choose."

Having said all that, at the next moment, the two of them exploded at the same time!

Miao Xuan pulled those thin threads that were attached to the cabin at some point in time, these tough threads can be pressed under any thin decoration, and the almost transparent appearance makes them difficult to identify, when this special sharp blade is completely After awakening, they silently split the bright bouquet of camouflage, bringing a burst of red rain;

At the same time, Junying also awakened his servants, and the platinum decorations all over the cabin cracked at the same moment, and as the camouflaged watch case shattered, all the birds and beasts hiding in it were exposed. They are no longer the ugly appearance of the combination of machinery and biology, but platinum birds with a new form!

The two broke out at the same time, so the narrow and exquisite cabin was filled with three colors of platinum and red, and the eyes were full of gilded white doves and flying Yin Rui. If you don't look at the thick and almost condensed malice and murderous intent, this is actually a beautiful scene.

Miao Xuan is using silk threads to divide the space and restrain birds and beasts, and the eagle is also driving his servants to test the traps. Miao Xuan's silk thread is a huge threat to him. Before being cut in half by the silk thread that suddenly appeared, He will peck away all threats with birds and beasts.

After many years, the birds and beasts of Junying are no longer flesh and blood birds simply equipped with gears, but crystalline creatures composed of metal and minerals. They have a harder and more powerful body, completely saying goodbye to the restrictions of flesh and blood.

Unlike Miao Xuan, who is only constrained by the concepts of "thread" and "puppet", Junying's power has developed a new application direction.

Regardless of character, Junying is indeed an amazingly talented person. A simple divine favor "poisonous blood" is almost developed into a complete system in his hands.

Birds and beasts pounced on Miao Xuan from all directions. Although the silk thread failed to destroy these platinum birds, they also left fatal scars on the birds. The bodies of birds and beasts were cut and cracked everywhere. They can be smashed easily with just a drawn dagger.

Although "God's Favor" does not pay attention to the laws of physics, these derivative works of God's Favor are very dependent on materials. They need to be produced in advance and properly preserved. The birds and beasts that the eagle can drive are also limited.

The number of birds and beasts can be calculated and predicted, but Miao Xuan's silk thread has no such concerns.

Of course Junying also noticed this, but he wasn't too worried. He thought he knew the little prince very well, so he was sure that what stood in front of him was just a mimic puppet.

Birds with broken wings cannot fly anyway, so the "Prince of Ceylon" who can board the airship with him is by no means a real person... It seems that he has already left a deep impression on the little prince the previous two times, and now As for the assassination against him, only puppets dared to come forward.

Then the key to the decisive victory is very simple, and that is to find out the real body of the little prince—the puppet's control range is limited, and the real little prince must be among the surrounding airships.

Junying raised his left hand, his hand was still weak due to the surgery, but it didn't matter, he still had chips in his hand, those two Ertuza's cubs...

"Do you want to repeat the old trick again?" Miao Xuan slashed the knife with one hand, splitting the bird beside him, "Or use those unscrupulous methods?"

"My little highness, as long as you can get the reward fruit, what is this little trick?" Junying laughed indifferently, and said shamelessly, "What's more, I just mastered some little tricks, but you all return them to me. class as 'dishonored'"

Miao Xuan then asked back: "So you used that nightingale?"

Junying couldn't help being taken aback by this question, and as Miao Xuan's words fell, Junying's left hand suddenly became numb for a while!Immediately afterwards, he completely lost the ability to control this hand—the battle between the two cannot be silent, and at the moment when the abnormal movement happened and was caught by the carrier pigeon, the people stationed in the palace completely wiped out that hand. Only one nightingale ended the "left hand" with the blood of the eagle.

After the death of "Nightingale", Jun Ying was caught off guard as expected, his face was still covered with a smile, but his movements stiffened involuntarily.

Junying subconsciously wanted to use another dark move, but the blood sensor was not awakened as expected. He clenched his fists hard, knowing that this dark move had also failed.

Of course, Miao Xuan would not let go of the advantage of sending it to his hands. He wanted to completely prohibit all the little tricks of Jun Ying, and the poisonous blood in the two children's bodies had already been quietly removed——

Any divine favor has irreparable flaws. The reason why Miao Xuan can accurately grasp all the loopholes of the eagle and use them almost perfectly is thanks to Drake's selfless information supply.

After being caught off guard for a short time, Junying quickly reacted. He guessed the culprit, so his expression became grim for a moment. This was not because Drake's counterattack was so tricky, but because the sea monster and the little The close cooperation of the prince has far exceeded his expectations.

"I won't let the mistake happen a second time." Miao Xuan's offensive was pressing harder and harder. At this moment, he had an absolute advantage, but he didn't have any sense of superiority. He just announced indifferently, "This throne, you haven't got it yet." Eligible to sit."

For no reason, Junying felt a burst of panic. This feeling made him feel strange, and it even reminded him... the treasure that he had finally grabbed was about to be lost, and the victory that was close at hand was lost.

Jun Ying hated this feeling too much, and coupled with the fact that the dark chess that had been arranged earlier was eaten, his emotions finally got a little out of control: "Why, little prince, do you think you have a chance to win?"

"I know what you're thinking, crafty little thing, keep me from the throne - either kill me here or force me to show my true colors in front of everyone, don't you?"

"It can be said that." Miao Xuan continued to replenish troops to press the line, and the thin-skinned assassin insisted on showing the momentum of fighting on the side.

"That was really a difficult choice. I had to cooperate with that octopus. What price did you pay?" Jun Ying sneered, "Wealth or power? The 'sea monster' has a lot of appetite, you will not give him Ceylon Come on!"

Miao Xuan aimed at the eagle's neck: "Ceylon belongs to Niaterbo, and I will return it to the empire...I didn't give Drake anything, only one promise."

Junying was stunned, and the side of his face was scratched by the flying knife. Seeing that it was effective, Miao Xuan immediately continued to talk: "After everything is over, I will abandon my current identity and wander the world with him."

It's a pity that this shocking thunder failed to create any flaws. Junying almost recovered his calm in an instant. He drew out his saber with one hand, and slashed horizontally to deflect the flying knives that were fired in a fan-shaped spread——

"It's too bad..." Jun Ying said softly, "Little Prince, I didn't want to kill you."

As if in response to Jun Ying's words, at the next moment, a violent shock exploded in the sky, Miao Xuan turned sideways suddenly, and he saw a black smoke screen through the narrow window beside him.

In the sky not far away, two airships defending the kingship collided.

*

Hartba, the Holy Cathedral of Light.

As one of the many cities close to the capital of Niaterba, Hatba is undoubtedly the most inconspicuous of them. It used to be the only way for exiled prisoners, and later became a settlement for refugees. The complex composition of residents makes it far inferior to blue-blooded cities with superior backgrounds.

Hartbar was doomed to run down like this—if the world hadn't had an industrial wave.

In the ever-rising steam technology, the complex foreign population has become the fresh blood to supply the city, the church that helps the poor has become the belief of most people, and even the small buildings built by the city can call themselves "Bright Cathedral" "Are.

Zechariah stood on the steps, looking at the sky from afar. In the rare clear sky, there was not a single cloud in sight, only the occasional flying birds volleyed in the sky, splitting the outline of the sun.

In this remote church, he couldn't see the sky of Nordnore clearly, but at this point in time, the enthronement ceremony of the new king should have already begun, right?

The door of the sanctuary was pushed open at this time, and people in black robes poured into the current inner courtyard in an orderly manner. The leading man was as fat as a fine wine barrel, but when he lifted his cloak, But as if by magic, two fainted children were pulled out.

——The leader of the pigeon team who sang full-time after retirement did not neglect his practice. Once the situation required him, he could immediately return to the rivers and lakes.

Zechariah immediately opened the door: "This way!"

Without further ado, the man followed him into the prayer room, and put the children on the hospital bed: "Your Excellency, the two little highnesses are here. The poisonous blood on their bodies has been successfully removed, and I will leave it to you."

The pair of frail siblings were stolen out of the cage by pigeons, and finally sent to Zacharias together. The children's faces were pale, which was the result of bloodletting. If they were not treated in time, their lives would be in danger. Fortunately, they It has completely got rid of the erosion of poisonous blood, and is no longer under the control of the eagle.

The carrier pigeons were stationed in the courtyard of the church, and only Zechariah and the two children were left in the prayer room. The holy light rose from his hands and illuminated the narrow inner room. After being poured into the bodies of the two children, their complexions returned to rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a long time, Zacharias opened the door and said to the leader of the carrier pigeon guarding the door: "The situation is very good, they are out of danger."

The old team leader breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help but confirm: "Your Excellency, there are no sequelae at all, right?"

Zechariah paused: "Their left armpit left a bloodletting scar. Although the emergency treatment was done well, these two scars will not be eliminated."

Bloodletting to remove toxins is a very dangerous treatment, not to mention that Junying’s poisonous blood is very special, and the wound of bloodletting must choose an artery—if Miao Xuan hadn’t tested a feasible method on himself, he would not Let the subordinates choose this way.

"Leave a scar as long as you leave it." The old leader sighed long, "It's better to leave a painless scar than to save a life... and for the future monarch, one What are the scars?"

The only thing that can make the old team leader pick up his job again is the order of Prince Ceylon, and he will not live up to the entrustment of the lord. Replacing the crown prince is his most important mission, and everything else is irrelevant.

Zacharias smiled absent-mindedly, and unconsciously looked at the distant sky again. He knew that he shouldn't leave these two children who had just escaped danger, but he still couldn't help looking at Nordnoll, if You can go to the royal capital, go to the ship where the coronation is being held, go...to the side of His Highness...

Whether it's because of personal feelings that have crossed the border, or this confusing and chaotic situation.

Zacharias actually didn't know why Miao Xuan wanted to overthrow the current crown prince and support Miss Ertusa, he just vaguely guessed that there was a huge problem with Prince Ertusa.

Out of years of trust, Zacharias chose to assist with all his strength. He was used to obeying His Royal Highness's arrangements, and he was too understanding to ask the truth, so he didn't know the truth. He did not tell him the identity of "Junying".

As if seeing through Zechariah's heart, the old team leader suddenly whispered: "Your Excellency, our task is to protect the future queen and prince."

Seeing that the thoughts in his heart were seen through, Zechariah said bluntly: "But among the pigeons, there is no doctor who is better than me in first aid ability? Please let me go to the capital, and the rest of the doctors will stay here—"

"I'm sorry, it's because no one can beat you, so you can't leave here." The old leader shook his head and refused in a deep voice, "The children are the most important, and their safety is related to the future of this empire. And we can't take any risks."

Zacharias was silent for a moment, but still couldn't bear it and said: "What about Your Highness? The children's condition has basically stabilized, right? The most dangerous thing now is Your Highness, please let me go to His Highness!"

The light in the sanctuary was dim, except for the insignificant candles, only the shadows of the sun by the window were still bright. His blue eyes made him look very gentle.

"Your Highness never does anything unprepared..." The old team leader felt helpless in his heart. He thought about his words and said slowly, "Although the carrier pigeons are about to be disbanded, our main force is still concentrated in the capital. Your Highness Full authority to dispatch, and—to let you stay here, this is also His Highness's meaning."

Zechariah was immediately speechless. Over the years, he has long been used to following His Highness's footsteps, doing everything he thinks is right for his faith and his country. Having said that...

"Please have more confidence in Your Highness." The old team leader emphasized, gently comforting the young man in front of him, "Besides my team, all the pigeon members are concentrated in the capital, and the team leader Anita and her husband, you know what they are capable of."

Anita is the leader of the carrier pigeons today. Her divine grace is extremely strong, and she has never missed a chance for many years, whether in detecting information or performing tasks.

Zechariah looked at the distant sky unwillingly, but the sky was still as bright as ever.

Carrier pigeons are very exclusive, it is enough for the old team leader to tell him the detailed plan, maybe he should wait quietly for His Highness's victory as usual.

Seeing that Zechariah fell silent again, the old team leader knew that his dissuasion had succeeded, so he naturally closed the door behind him and guarded the two children's beds.

Zechariah finally gave up rushing back to the capital, and at the same time, he couldn't help having a thought—if he had a more important position, would His Highness not exclude him from the plan? Woolen cloth?

For example, the Archbishop of the Holy See, even if His Highness intends to conceal it, he can know all the movements of the royal family as quickly as possible.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured." The voice of the old team leader sounded so steady and full of confidence, "Has Your Highness ever disappointed us? From Ceylon to Nordnor, all of this is proof of Your Highness. "

Zacharias forced a smile, he wiped away the messy thoughts in his mind, and sat down on the other side of the hospital bed, but what he didn't know was——

What the old team leader said is not entirely accurate. The members of the carrier pigeons are far less than the nightingales, and far inferior to the army. It is very difficult to reverse the current situation with such a small number of people. Formidable, they can't participate in the assassination, they must and can only take on the important task of containing the major forces and maintaining the stability of the capital when the situation changes drastically.

The only one who actually carried out the assassination was the Prince of Ceylon.

Today is a good weather, there are no clouds and no strong winds in the sky, this is probably the last bit of luck in the misfortune for the two airships that collided. 7K 妏敩

Miao Xuan knew that Junying was a little crazy, but he didn't expect that this guy was already so sick. He didn't look at the land under his feet as a monarch, but as a foreign conqueror - plundering resources, gathering power, No price.

In order to cover up the assassination and accident, Junying really created even greater chaos. His energy was greater than Miao Xuan guessed. With the other two airships provided and driven by the Holy Church and the Council respectively, Junying Still meddled in their control, and could make them fall with the movement of a finger.

But fortunately, the worst scenario predicted by Miao Xuan has not yet appeared.

The roar of the explosion was long and silent, and Junying looked at the vehicles colliding together outside the window, showing a smug smile without any concealment, and he turned to Miao Xuan again: "What a beautiful scene... Then, Your Highness, your The threat is no longer valid."

The collided airships still struggled to stay in mid-air, but the bumpy appearance was really in danger, perhaps because the dignitaries on these airships were still valuable, Junying did not kill them easily, but with his madness , he might ignore this at any time and simply let the two airships fall.

——He is an outsider from the royal capital. Even if he uses this method to destroy the group, as long as he is picked out, he will not suffer much loss, and he can even gain an advantage on the shuffled card table.

But so what?Could it be that the two airships are the only ones behind the Eagles?

Miao Xuan withdrew his gaze. At this moment, he did not hesitate, and directly chose to burst forward. The dagger with the length of his forearm almost came alive in his hand, and wiped it on the neck of the eagle as if it had eyes.

In the close combat between the two, Junying did not have any advantage. His left hand was crippled, and the birds and beasts were almost completely damaged. However, Miao Xuan got rid of the shackles of his legs, and became more courageous as he fought, perfectly displaying his strength. advantage of mobility.

Maybe Junying's fighting skills are indeed powerful, but Miao Xuan must be more fierce than him. If you only look at fighting skills, no one in this world can match him, not to mention that this time the modeling also focuses on control.

"Do you still want to kill me?" Junying didn't dodge or evade, and came towards the blade. His skills were honed in years of pirate and naval career, even in the disguise of recent years. , Even with Miao Xuan's output, there is still room to move, "Yes, it is indeed your turn to worry now."

"Since you want to stop my last step, you need to keep your puppet alive, but your puppet has a range of control, right? Which airship is your real body on, Mona?"

Miao Xuan didn't answer as usual, but with the birds, beasts and silk threads restraining each other, Junying quickly paid the price for his trash talk. The blade directly tore the close-fitting armor and skin, and was almost cut off. open chest.

Junying felt the threat of death that was close at hand. He still maintained a casual smile on his face, but he was very cautious in his actual actions. He avoided the sharp edge and temporarily hibernated like a snake, ready to spit out the deadly venom at any time.

"It doesn't matter which airship it is." Miao Xuan continued to attack, "I only know that you will definitely die here."

Miao Xuan spoke calmly, but Jun Ying only thought he was being stubborn: "It seems that our Prince of Ceylon is not worried about the adults in the parliament and the temple. It's just a trivial matter, right?"

Sure enough, he still raised this inevitable threat...Threatening the safety of innocent people and his "body".

It's a very old-fashioned method.

Miao Xuan never overestimated Junying's moral standard. He believed that if he showed sympathy for ordinary people, Junying would be able to plant traps everywhere in Nordnore, and then come up with some vicious tricks that killed two, three, four birds with one stone. plot.

But just in case, Miao Xuan has also prepared corresponding emergency measures. Even if the pigeons miss, there is still a substitute solution-the collision of the two airships shortened the distance between each other, which on the contrary facilitated a certain situation. Some divine favors are cast, for example, a sea monster governor who enthusiastically recommends himself.

"You can try." The offensive in Miao Xuan's hand did not slow down for a moment, and his blade pointed directly at Jun Ying's neck and chest, "If you can do it."

How could Junying not try?Long before he uttered the threat he had decided to act on it!

However, even though the order was issued, the airship in the distant sky was still floating well. Although it was teetering, it remained almost stable, and even had a tendency to make a forced landing together.

what happened?Has his people been killed? Junying never considers the possibility of betrayal, and his real confidant can only have two states, death or allegiance.

A panic suddenly rose in Junying's heart. He hadn't felt this way for a long time. When was the last time? It was when he was fighting on the front line of life and death, or facing extreme weather in the most dangerous sea area, or even when he just joined The youthful fight of the pirates?

He has always boasted that he is greedy and crazy, but fear, what kind of weak thing is this?

Miao Xuan is a good opponent who talks about civilization. He basically doesn't talk trash when he is in the lane. This time is the same, but his calmness has become the main culprit to anger Junying.

Between the clashes of swords and swords, the ear-piercing buzzing buzzed continuously, and the huge force caused the eagle to retreat one after another. While parrying, he forced to ask: "Is it your carrier pigeon? Or that sea monster?!"

Miao Xuan split the last bird and beast blocking the way, and took back the throwing knife he had just thrown, directly slashing the eagle's throat - the former pirate leader dodged very quickly, only allowing him to cut his bow tie and skin.

Junying, who is at a disadvantage, is quite uncomfortable, and Miao Xuan is also under tremendous pressure. At this moment, he is about to reach the limit in the explosion. The excessive speed and strength overload the legs, but even so, he can only oppress , but couldn't immediately cut through Junying's last line of defense.

Be quick... These legs won't last that long.

Just when Miao Xuan's another kill almost hit the eagle's forehead, the airship under his feet trembled suddenly, it felt like some kind of bird flapped its wings.

Missing a hit, Miao Xuan retreated quickly, but Junying didn't take the opportunity to pursue him. He retreated suddenly and stuck to the platinum inner wall, the blood vessels all over his body were pulsating strangely. This was a very strange scene, but the cold sweat While rolling down, a distorted smile appeared on Jun Ying's face.

"I didn't plan to use the full body..." Junying took off his gloves, and there were floating and twisted patterns on his exposed hands, "Little Highness, there is no more wild and unruly bird in this world than you, but I have already prepared the most beautiful cage—"

The next moment, the entire platinum-golden airship fell into violent tremors. Miao Xuan felt that nothing was wrong. At this moment, the machine under his feet was no longer a simple airship. It was made into a huge, hollow bird and beast by Jun Ying!

Even if activating it will bring huge consumption to the Eagle, as the master of birds and beasts, the Eagle can undoubtedly control every corner of the airship and even the fate of the enemy!

With the fluttering of the bird's wings, the entire airship is constantly jumping upwards, and the gorgeous interior decoration is completely shattered in an instant, completely exposing the blue and steel bones hidden in it, and the high-altitude wind brushes against the giant beast's body. The sound of rolling shells, gears and bearings became louder and louder, and countless sharp cold lights flickered under the steel...

Junying knew that he had the chance to win.

The puppet controlled by the little prince has a distance limit, his real body should be hidden in the two airships following the kingship, and now the airships belonging to the Holy Church and the Parliament are forced to land due to "accidents", then In order to prevent the puppet from getting out of control, he must shorten the distance between the body and the puppet.

Jun Ying's guess was correct, because at the next moment, the little prince in a wheelchair appeared behind the puppet. Obviously, he chose to pursue the puppet again, and this was in Jun Ying's favor.

The puppet rushed towards Junying fiercely, Junying was not afraid at all, he fell backwards, and the layout inside the ship turned around out of thin air, sending Junying behind the wheelchair in an instant!

The opened distance achieved a position exchange. At this moment, it was too late for the puppet to turn around for rescue. Junying showed a malicious smile, and took advantage of the gap between the little prince's control of the puppet and the inseparable god, and grabbed it. his throat!

The puppet froze in place, stunned as if it had lost its soul, while the man in the wheelchair suddenly raised his head, and his expression returned to his eyes—was he giving up controlling the puppet and choosing to return to his body?

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Junying lowered his head, looking at the pair of blue eyes that were close at hand, they were as clear and translucent as he imagined, and this time, he finally saw his reflection in these beautiful eyes.

Under the palm is warm skin and a throbbing pulse, and the slender scar is on his palm, like a brand mark.

"Welcome to my bird's belly. Didn't expect such a technology?" Junying was proud of his victory again, and he laughed, "This is the perfect combination of divine grace and technology, it doesn't matter, Your Highness, I will teach you well in the future..."

Victory is decided!

*

After a long sleep, Ian finally woke up.

In the mirror, he was terrifying and horrifying. The scar eroded by poison made the wound look like lizard skin. You must face the world with this face.

Ian looked at himself in the mirror silently. After a long time, he looked away. He put on the uniform of the army for himself, tidying every wrinkle meticulously——he no longer looked at the mirror, but only left the room Looking forward to the only decoration on the wall.

It was a tapestry with rose patterns, and time hadn't faded it, and it was as bright and lovely as ever for ten years.

Today is the day when the new king is enthroned. It seems that all the city residents have rushed out of their homes. They gathered together in the streets and alleys, looking up at the sky in unison. Almost everyone's faces are filled with excitement and pride.

The population of Nord Noor is best reflected intuitively today. Everywhere is crowded, and horses and horses cannot go to the streets at all, and everyone can only choose to walk.

Ian also walked quickly on the street. He put on a windproof cloak over the military uniform, completely blocking his face, neck and arms. This strange outfit did not attract anyone's attention. The sky was full of flowers. The rain and the slow-moving monsters are enough to attract everyone's attention.

At this moment, the airship in the sky released the hanging flag, and the national flag of Niatalbe and the coat of arms of the royal family shone in the sun, so the crowd also cheered like a tsunami. Ian glanced at the sky , but quickened his pace.

He woke up too late, and it was already the day when the new king was enthroned, and the cruise ship would not exceed three hours, so there was not much time left for him...

Today's army must be stationed everywhere in the royal capital to maintain order, but the commanders who remain in the military headquarters and the parliament will not change. The command of the direct army belonging to Parcival should now belong to his brother-in-law and cousins hands.

Roses and rose petals began to sprinkle in the air. Most of these lovely things came from the people living in the upper floors. Ian passed through the crowd in this fragrant flower rain, and he quickly arrived at the destination. Stop in front of you.

"It's forbidden to pass here, who are you—" Before the officer could finish his sentence, Ian lifted his hood and interrupted him directly: "Carter, let's go, I'm going to see the Minister of Military Affairs."

The officer's question was stuck in his throat. He looked at Ian's face in shock and horror, and finally realized: "Yes, it's you! Your Excellency, are you awake?!"

Ian felt impatient, but before he could say anything, there was a dull sound in the distant sky!

Ian suddenly turned around and looked up, the crowd made a sound of shock, and the officers also looked at the sky in astonishment—they were two giants colliding with each other, black smoke filled the sunlight, the airship was crumbling, and the movement and air waves of their collision It even affected the frontmost kingship, so that it began to increase its height.

There were only three airships participating in the new king's enthronement ceremony, and now two of them have been caught in an accident. It is hard to imagine that such an accident would happen during the new king's enthronement ceremony!

Horrified cries and screams came and went, but people on the ground could not interfere with what happened in the sky. In today's king capital, there are extremely few people who have the gift of flying, and airships are heavy aviation tools that can only be controlled by manpower. It is impossible to rescue at all, and even worry about it hitting the ground.

Compared with the subordinate whose mind was blank, Ian's reaction speed was much faster. Many fragmentary scenes flashed through his mind, and a guess was almost blurted out. He immediately looked at the still intact, rising The royal airship - he was right.

Because at the next moment, the last intact gorgeous giant exploded from it, and collapsed in the most unexpected manner. It was like a bird that was torn from it, and it was torn apart before it could even cry out. The chest was smashed, dripping blood and internal organs.

Ian's pupils constricted subconsciously, and the emotional fluctuations brought about the loss of control of God's grace. The fiery air flow was restless around him, as if a flame would be detonated and ignited at any time.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind, and Ian turned around abruptly, and saw the officials and generals who were hurriedly walking out. To deal with the accident that broke out in the sky, but the moment they saw Ian, they all fell into astonishment, shock, and even vague fear.

——This former colleague is so strange at this moment, there are crashing ships in the sky, screaming and crying crowds on the ground, and the half-faced scarred man is turning his back on the light, setting off the cover, Whether it is the pair of cold eyes or the terrifying large scar, it is reminiscent of some kind of evil creature accompanied by the devil.

"Big, big brother?!" Among the dead silent crowd, Caroline's husband was the first to say, "Why are you here? Is your injury healed, Karin..."

Ian raised his hand to stop his questioning, and he looked at the others: "If I haven't been dismissed by now - everyone, give me command."

Those who can stand here are all Percival's allies and subordinates. In the past, they were led by Ian Asival, but at this moment, no one dared to respond, not even Ian's brother-in-law.

The current situation did not allow hesitation, and before Ian's patience ran out, one person came out more and more: "Your Excellency!"

Ian glanced at this person's ordinary face, and then remembered that he seemed to be a member of the carrier pigeons. Before he was promoted to an officer because of his heroic combat, he had sent several urgent letters for His Royal Highness.

"Your Excellency." The man bravely maintained his composure, and persuaded with a hint, "Please listen to me."

*

The victory or defeat is a foregone conclusion—this thought came to the minds of the mortal enemies who were confronting each other at high altitude.

Jun Ying is naturally complacent, even though the successive battles and forcing the bird and beast airships have consumed too much energy, what is this?

He has captured the most beautiful white bird in the rose garden, and then he only needs to put him in a cage, and then he can start the road of taming, and use it as a reward for ascending the throne...

As for Miao Xuan, he just moved his fingers.

【Secret Technique - Binding】

At the next moment, the man in the wheelchair who was imprisoned in the arms of the eagle suddenly stiffened, and a silent air flow poured out of his body, and the appearance of the sick and weak prince was fading rapidly, replaced by a non-human appearance .

The puppet that had escaped from the disguise was finally seen. This mechanical body made of gold and iron split from the inside, and countless mechanisms and blades popped out at the same time. Their speed was too fast, and the layers of inverted reverse blades together formed a deadly The trap, the restraint with the effect of the skill directly stunned the eagle. In just a few seconds, this deconstructed puppet became the most terrifying weapon, piercing the heart of the prey caught in the trap with thousands of swords!

Yes, the real body was the one who boarded the airship with the eagle at the beginning, stood up and maintained a healthy body, and the puppet manipulated by the master pretended to be a sick and weak prince in a wheelchair. Looking at each other, as the biggest confusing trap.

And all these preparations are for the most critical knife in the assassination, and Miao Xuan has never considered fighting with only puppet from the beginning to the end. After all, this puppet is only one of the weapons he uses, it is just a testament to his strength. A part, far less than his all-out efforts.

Viscous blood flowed out from the steel flower, and these liquids were no longer uncontrollable after leaving the owner's body. They volatized violently with toxicity, the fishy and sweet breath floated in the air, and the dark red mucus collided and roared. Even if only a drop leaks, it can cause a hundred times of corrosion and burning.

The blood has already begun to corrode the puppet made of fine steel. For this blow, the puppet has been completely destroyed, and in this piercing sound, the prey that has been poked into a sieve is struggling for the last period before death. on the way.

Miao Xuan didn't move, and the destruction of the puppet also brought backlash to him. He just looked coldly at the eagle, which was almost pierced through all its limbs, and watched his last step before death.

And the one who also retreated from the camouflage was the immobile Eagle. His body was punctured and fixed in the steel buds. Only the head and limbs were exposed. The severe pain and bleeding made his eyes black, but he still reluctantly moved. Raising his head, his eyes slid over those standing upright legs, and finally looked at Miao Xuan in disbelief——

How does a bird with broken wings fly?

Miao Xuan sighed silently, and then he raised his trouser legs, revealing his ankles that reflected the cold light under the fabric: "I can already walk, although it was transformed with silk thread and equipment, but from now on, I will walk with ordinary people. No difference."

Junying opened his mouth, but only spat out a mouthful of blood, but Miao Xuan didn't mean hospice care, he just said calmly: "As I said, I will not let your wish come true."

"Niatelbe's next emperor will be Princess Ertusa, I will erase all traces of your existence, although I will go to sea from now on, but—— Eddie Junying - I can assure you, Silverleaf, that your whole life will be but a short intermission burlesque."

"Junying, you have never been on the most glorious stage."

In this final sentence, the man pierced by the puppet could only struggle in vain in the pool of blood and the blade, his will to survive was still terribly tenacious, the blood flowed backwards, staining his green eyes red, countless strong and painful pains Emotions are entangled in it, as if just looking at it will be dragged into hell by this dying person, suffocating in the sea of ​​bitter and rotten blood...

Miao Xuan stared fixedly at those eyes, not blinking.

I don't know how long it has passed, the last ray of light in these eyes was completely annihilated, and as the poisonous blood cooled, this burly body that had gathered countless resentments finally died completely, and at the same time, Miao Xuan also felt the pain under his feet. The floor of the building gradually began to tremble, which was obviously a signal that the airship bird and beast named "Glory" was dying.

Miao Xuan finally got rid of the backlash of the puppet's destruction. He sat down and ignited the puppet from a distance. At the same time, he also ignited the bones on the puppet. The flesh and blood of the eagle are poisonous and must not be leaked. burn them.

At this time, the airship has been raised to a very dangerous height, and complete disintegration and fall are imminent. Miao Xuan has already made preparations for continuing to survive even though he will be smashed to pieces—it’s not that Miao Xuan has made a rule for himself right now. Good time to die, so he controlled the position of the airship directly above the Nordnor River, but the problem is that falling into the water at this height... is no different from smashing yourself against a steel plate.

There is no other way but to change to a piece of invincible equipment at the moment before death. Although the pain is not discounted, the time to leave the field can be greatly delayed.

The small system beeped to indicate that the assassination was successful, while Miao Xuan sighed helplessly and sat down against the inner wall that was about to be shattered.

The dying pain and blood interfered with Junying's perception. As long as Miao Xuan raised his trouser legs a little more, the bloody, flesh-and-blood calves would be completely exposed—fixing and controlling the completely abandoned legs with silk threads was far more difficult than imagined. The difficulties, the so-called "from now on will be the same as ordinary people", all belong to the donkey and the eagle.

Silk thread is not an easy-to-use medical device, let alone use thread to fix the legs. After all, this kind of forced change can only produce disposable products, which will inevitably be doubled as scrap after the battle.

The legs have been completely discarded, and the silk thread has nowhere to rely on. After fighting with all his strength, Miao Xuan has given up struggling. If he hadn't chosen to leave now, the next high-altitude fall would be the best way to leave— —However, the status of "Prince of Ceylon" will be completely canceled today, and this is also the last task Miao Xuan left for Nightingale.

To be buried in the mother river of the capital is probably considered a reasonable exit?

In any case, this world can be regarded as having a beginning and an end.

*

After the violent explosion, everything happened as expected.

The broken airship has already turned into sparks all over the sky, and the wreckage of giant birds and beasts shatters and splatters. More than half of the fragments are still burning with flames. All the poisonous blood will be burned today, and there will be no more leftovers. .

In the fireworks of death, Miao Xuan was also falling rapidly.

Falling from a high altitude again, even if you can use equipment to save your life at the last moment, it is too uncomfortable to experience the process of being broken.

Miao Xuan thought, in this world, he probably has a little bit of a conflict with the high altitude, the big and small are the same process, but now that he has finally killed the eagle, even if he falls weightlessly, he is so refreshed...

The estimation is correct, Miao Xuan landed on the river that runs through Nord Noor, but it is a pity that this once beautiful river has now been polluted by the children she raised into a dirty and smelly sewer, Miao Xuan said to himself Sorry to add to this polluted future.

In the rapid fall, everything became strange and bizarre. In a whirl, Miao Xuan's peripheral vision caught the two huge airships far below him. forced landing.

It seems that they are going to pass by each other, I hope no one will notice him passing by outside the window, but even if they do, it doesn't matter, Miao Xuan knows that he is also bloody now, no one will recognize him anyway— —

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from one of the airships. This was not a person or object that fell accidentally, but a person who jumped off the airship on his own initiative. Sufficiently, the location of this disco was chosen just right, it happened to be directly below the direction where Miao Xuan fell!

Miao Xuan:? ? ? ! ! !

Small system: [? !My day——]

Although the field of vision can't capture the person's appearance for the time being, the small map and mental power detection will not lie. Miao Xuan's eyes widened in shock. He didn't expect Drake to jump off the airship. Of course, This sea monster must have a self-rescue method for falling from a high place, but no matter how powerful and effective this method is, it cannot be [-]% safe.

So far, Miao Xuan still can't understand why Drake fell in love with him. Love at first sight is too bizarre. Almost no one can do this for a person who falls in love at first sight, let alone the "sea monster" who is famous for his indifference .

Before the danger of life and death, he made a risky choice without hesitation—for a moment, Miao Xuan almost thought that he was a sentimental man who was crazy about love.

But it doesn't matter what you think now, as Miao Xuan keeps falling, the distance between him and Drake is also rapidly shortening, everything happened too fast, before Miao Xuan could react, he had already Fell into the arms of this sea monster.

The speed gap between them was too large, and this impact caused both of them large fractures of varying degrees. If it weren't for the powerful divine grace that could greatly strengthen their bodies, they might have to confess together in midair.

Miao Xuan only felt a bloody smell rising from his throat, and Drake's condition was no better than him, the high-altitude wind poured in from below, and the huge roar almost filled the ear canal However, it is amazing that Miao Xuan heard Drake's heartbeat in this environment.

It was the pulse hidden under the skin and in the blood. It was throbbing and powerful. Even if there was no communication between the two, Miao Xuan could still hear Drake's voice from it.

A muffled sound exploded in the strong wind, and the next moment, the parachute of the ancient alchemy version exploded above the heads of the two. As expected, the landing speed dropped significantly.

The wreckage of the airship has fallen into the river one after another. Drake cut off the obstacles wrapped around his body at an appropriate height, and jumped into the water with Miao Xuan in his arms.

Once in the water, Drake's movements immediately became agile, and the water flow seemed to tell him the direction to go, so he was like a sea creature, even if he was holding another adult male, he could swim several times in the blink of an eye. ten meters.

However, in just a few tens of seconds, Drake had already arrived at his destination. This should belong to his boat. on board.

After coming out of the water, Miao Xuan coughed uncomfortably in a low voice. After choking on a few sips of water, he was almost fainted from the smoke, and his broken legs were even worse after entering the water. After a lot of tossing, he has reached the brink of collapse. Even though Miao Xuan changed to a set of pure meat equipment, the health bar is still wiped to within one-third.

Since boarding the boat, Drake has been staring blankly at Miao Xuan's legs. Until now, he seemed to be woken up by the sound of coughing. He finally opened his mouth, and this was the only sentence he said today: "Your Highness, please rest well... Please leave everything to me."

*

On the day the new king came to the throne, Niaterbo's nightmare recurred like a curse, and the plot to assassinate the royal family resurfaced again, and it was in the form of air strikes.

When the royal family was in such a catastrophe, the whole country of Niaterbo raised their hearts, and the parliament and the Holy See reached an unprecedentedly efficient cooperation, and within a week, the young Miss Ertuza was promoted to the throne-this is a little bit It is not in line with the "male priority of inheritance", but now the special situation, coupled with the efforts of the secret pusher, this thing turned out to be like this.

In addition to the turmoil within the royal family, there was also an almost uncontrollable public opinion among the people of Niaterbo. This time, people in the entire imperial capital witnessed the collision of airships and the fall of the kingship. For a while, everyone Grief and indignation, speculation about the real culprit can almost fill every floor tile in the palace.

Not only that, but the public also knew that besides the heir to the crown prince, there was also a prince from the previous generation of the royal family who died in front of the throne-the public were very unfamiliar with this low-key figure at first, but they soon discovered that he was exactly the " Rose Love (The Gentle Prince Falls in Love with Me)", which immediately aroused the sympathy and indignation of the general public.

All of a sudden, the two members of the royal family who were also victims received considerable condolences. Miao Xuan did not expect that this was the first piece of news he received from the outside world after waking up. His complicated feelings were beyond words.

"It's too much!" Drake tried his best to be filled with righteous indignation, although his tone and expression were still serious and calm, "How could His Royal Highness have a deep relationship with the 'Crown Prince's brother, and he died willingly'? I will not let His Highness's reputation be damaged by the fabrication without reason, I have already asked people to announce the real ending."

Miao Xuan: "..."

Miao Xuan felt bad: "So you..."

Drake lowered his head shyly: "Your Highness, the ending is of course that the gods were moved by the sincere love, so they revived the gentle prince and let him and his beloved wife go back to the ocean and stay together forever."

Miao Xuan: "..."

Miao Xuan covered his face.

But having said that, no matter how the outside world talks about Lun Lun, these have nothing to do with Miao Xuan. The reason why he chose to temporarily fake death instead of leaving simply is for his only two best friends in this world.

What's more, the legs that Miao Xuan modeled this time are completely useless, and they can't even be used as decorations. What's more terrible is that the destruction of the puppets twice in a row has brought side effects. Being limited, the threads he could control were no longer enough to reconstruct a new puppet—but this was unnecessary, after all, he was about to leave this world completely soon.

The task has been completed, and the body constructed by this model will weaken at an extremely fast speed. In the eyes of those who don't know it, this is probably the sequelae of forced standing and poisonous blood erosion.

And when he deliberately concealed it, this symptom could be hidden from everyone, even Zacharias, except Drake, who was with him day and night.

Miao Xuan sighed lightly.

*

The small theater in the downtown area finally announced its closure. Its owner was about to leave the capital, and countless winding corridors and rooms were closed one by one. Countless precious artworks and musical instruments were gathered under the stage of the theater to count.

"Ian, I'm leaving."

The man in the wheelchair whispered his decision. He no longer wore the finery of the royal family, but a very simple white robe. He was wearing a heavy blanket and looked thinner than before. He paled a lot, but the lightness in those eyes couldn't be stopped, "When these are packed, they will be donated to the royal family together, and my property and Ceylon County are the same."

Reminiscent of a bird about to flap its wings and fly.

Ian would never have thought that when he saw His Highness after waking up, it would be another farewell before a long journey. Before he had time to express his regret, he had to accept this cruel decision.

Even though human beings already have giants that can cross the sea, there is an almost infinite world beyond the ocean. People who embark on this journey will be far away from human society, and may not hear from them for five or ten years.

But what can Ian say?What qualifications does he have to dissuade?Before His Highness killed the eagle alone, escaped from the shackles of the princely status by feigning death, and was about to embark on a magnificent journey?

Maybe I should leave with His Highness...

But no matter how much Ian wants to follow His Highness, he still has too many responsibilities that he cannot let go of. The family behind him, the homeland under his feet, and the army under his command—Niatelbe is what Ian is willing to dedicate his life to. However, His Royal Highness did not want to stay here. He would rather abandon the easily accessible throne of the king and choose the unpredictable boundless ocean.

"I'm leaving." Miao Xuan smiled gently, "Ian, take care."

Ian looked at His Highness who was close at hand, and felt that everything seemed to be back to his childhood. No matter how the Queen tried to persuade him, His Highness was determined to return to the fief Ceylon, but he could only stop at the train platform, far away. Watching the giant steel beast roaring away.

Up to now, none of this has changed in any way, except that the train has been replaced by a ship, and the doll will soon be replaced by a certain sea monster.

For a moment, Ian even wanted to go crazy regardless, but when he made up his mind and was about to blurt out the presumptuous offense, he looked up and saw his own reflection on the mirror beside the stage——

It was a demonic red dragon, with a pair of dark and gloomy eyes on his distorted face. This appearance was enough to make ordinary people have nightmares, but it didn't exist in front of the little prince. His peaceful posture almost made Ian forget this cruel reality.

"Ian, what's the matter?" The long silence made the little prince unable to help asking, which also woke up the dazed Red Dragon,

Ian heard his own voice hoarsely overflowing his throat: "It's nothing...Your Highness, please take care too."

……

Ian didn't know how he bid farewell. He left the theater in a daze. Perhaps from the beginning to the end, guarding the treasure was just his wishful thinking. Since the first mistake in his childhood, he had lost all opportunities.

The aisle outside the theater was long and dead, but no matter how slow Ian was, it always had an end, and at the moment Ian was about to reach the exit, the door slammed open, and the sea monster governor of Aidno came out Step through the door.

At the moment when the two met on a narrow road, a strong killing intent surged in Ian's heart, and he suddenly had a thought - he really shouldn't stop His Highness, but what about this sea monster?Is he going to chase His Highness out to sea?Such a dangerous thing should not stay with His Highness, he should be here now——

"Good day, Your Excellency." Derek nodded slightly to Ian, as if he didn't notice his hostility, and greeted him indifferently and politely, "The hospitality is not good, and you have a good journey."

This is already the gesture of the host seeing off the guests. Ian stopped, and he even raised his hand: "This is not for you to say."

A late outsider, a lowly and cruel pirate, just relying on bad talent, despicably stole the status and rights that do not belong to him, why?Why are you—

"Yeah, why?" Drake finally smiled, this shallow smile was full of mockery, he looked at the loser in front of him with malice: "Isn't it obvious, because only I caught it he."

Just this one sentence was enough to break Ian's army, his killing intent collapsed in an instant, he stared at Drake, and what he waited for was naturally impossible to be relieved.

"You regard yourself as a guardian, but you have never understood him. A trapped beast expects to chase birds." Derek suppressed his smile and said indifferently, "Stay well in the capital and climb the power the pinnacle of your country, become your Prime Minister, and die on this land."

"Perhaps you will be able to decorate the tombstone with roses then."

*

Although the new king succeeded in ascending the throne, the chaos in Nordnore is destined to last for a long time, and the guests who came from afar will also set off and return to their hometown.

The same is true for Drake's fleet. As the governor of Aidno, it is time for him to embark on the return journey.

Zechariah stood on the pier, watching the ship sail away. The salty sea breeze was blowing the sails—on the most magnificent ship, he vaguely saw the figure of His Highness.

This is not the first farewell of Zacharias. Before that, Zacharias had bid farewell to His Royal Highness a hundred times, and each time left him with cherished and cherished memories, which gave him Endless power, but this time it is completely different.

It was obviously still a gentle and cherished farewell, but Zechariah felt sad and bewildered, as if a big hole had been dug out in his chest, and then the cold sea breeze poured in, taking away the last trace of heat.

Maybe it's because the farewell in the past meant a reunion, but this time the farewell is a complete separation.

But he knew this day would come, didn't he?

His Highness has already told him about his ideals, and confessed that he is different. Isn't it the best choice to exchange the status of a fake prince for complete freedom?

But this pain and bewilderment was real, and it was only at this moment that Zecharia found out sadly that he would rather His Highness still stay in this land than set foot on the isolated ocean.

The cries of seagulls were mixed with the siren. Zacharias watched the ship disappear on the horizon. It was strange that Parcival did not come to see him off this time. Maybe he finally woke up and realized that this untimely emotion was wrong Bar.

Everything that people encounter is the will of the gods, whether it is parting or reunion, he believes that one day he will meet His Highness again.

*

The huge ships lined up, broke through the waves and sailed brazenly. Miao Xuan leaned on the mast and looked at Roosevelt who was drifting away.

Night is coming, and countless lights are shining on this fertile land. They are covered by the dazzling sunset, and the warm light of the sky is reflected on the sea surface, wrapping the buildings on the shore in it, like supporting a building growing in the sun. city.

Derek walked behind Miao Xuan at some point, quietly leaning against the outer wall of the cabin, and silently looked at his back when Miao Xuan was looking at the land.

The ocean has given this sea monster unparalleled confidence and belonging. In this homeland where blue blood flows, everything seems to be at your fingertips.

The city on the shore finally disappeared on the sea level, and the sunset glow at this moment has completely reached its peak, and it seems that there is only this pure brilliance left between the sea and the sky.

"Your Highness, it's time for you to go to rest." Drake said softly, then bent down and picked up Miao Xuan directly from the wheelchair - the road on the ship is not suitable for wheelchairs, and the puppet has been destroyed, so it can only rely on manpower .

Miao Xuan coughed a few times in a low voice. Since falling from a high altitude, this body began to weaken rapidly. Drake has always acted as a caregiver, and he took care of everything by himself. The familiarity he showed made Miao Xuan feel He has a strange kindness, and at some point, he even has the illusion that the puppet is still there.

Drake's voice sounded in Miao Xuan's ear, as low as ever, very relaxing: "Your Highness, next we will go around the North Pole first, and then enter the waters of Aydno. Now the Arctic Sea is in the Flowers bloom on the glacier at the warmest time of the year..."

Miao Xuan couldn't help coughing a few more times, his blood line was slowly declining, unprecedented weakness and sleepiness swept his body, he knew that the time to leave was coming.

At some point, Drake had already stopped in his tracks, he hugged him tightly, the scorching heat came through the fabric and blanket, Miao Xuan listened to the pounding heartbeat in his ear, subconsciously raised his head——Drake Sure enough, he was looking down at him, the halo of dusk outlined his face extraordinarily deep, but his face was expressionless, and there was no reflection of light in his dark eyes.

"I'm sorry..." Miao Xuan endured the fishy sweetness welling up in his throat, and smiled apologetically, "I probably won't be able to continue the journey, and I can't carry out the agreement with you, I—"

"Please don't apologize." Drake interrupted him softly, "It is enough to go out to sea with me, and fulfilling the agreement is what I have to do. This is not your breach of trust."

Miao Xuan was startled: "Really..."

Drake lowered his head and pressed against Miao Xuan's forehead. His voice was conveyed to Miao Xuan's perception through another medium, full of clear penetrating power, and even a treacherous twist.

"Your Highness, please rest assured to sleep." Drake said gently, "I know you can't hold on anymore, it's okay, please leave everything to me."

Miao Xuan didn't quite understand the meaning of Drake's "give everything to him", but this body has indeed reached its limit, his consciousness gradually blurred, and his spiritual power gradually withdrawn from the body in this world.

The setting sun falls into the vast sea, the stars and the moon shine in the night sky, the sea wind blows the siren, the snow-white birds flap their wings and pass by, and the noise of the turbine comes out from under the hull, echoing like ripples on the empty sea.

Drake finally stopped. The person in his arms had completely lost its temperature. He lowered his head and looked at his dead face tenderly. The expression was like a husband kissing his sleeping wife, or a mother caring for a tired child.

Fate is always unsatisfactory. It seems that it wants him to always look at him like this, either through puppets and illusions, or through life and death, but Drake is absolutely unwilling to obey.

Now that he has captured the bird, he will keep him in his arms and legs forever.
