[Rock Kingdom] Holy Knight

Mayor David set up a temporary meeting place in the square of the town, and arranged for thousands of households to temporarily move to the relief center on Gaoligong Mountain.

Dean Griffin sighed as he looked at David, whose hair had turned white before he was 40 years old. David had paid too much for Fengxue Town these years.

"Fengxue Town is also unlucky. Every time it is about to develop, it will encounter trouble." A little boy ran to Dean Griffin holding the snow doll, "Dean Dean, can you let Dai Don't be the mayor of Uncle Wei...I don't mean that Uncle David is bad. In fact, he is a very conscientious mayor, but he is not in good health now, and he still has to worry about the affairs of Fengxue Town at an early age. If other towns encountered such a mayor, they would have prospered long ago, but Fengxue Town... oh."

"Little brother, can you tell me what happened to Fengxue Town?" Princess Keli bent slightly, trying to make herself look kinder.

"Since you asked, I'll tell you. Some of it was said by Locke in the town. I can't guarantee whether it is true, but it is very reliable. It is said that Fengxue Town was a special place in the beginning. In a very poor mountain village, the transportation is inconvenient and covered with ice and snow, and there are no other plants except the snow maple tree. Later, when the mayor of David came, he first started to build roads, and then encouraged everyone to use the snow maple tree to make snow maple syrup. Snow Town’s snow maple syrup sells well in the Kingdom, and Feng Xue Village has also become Feng Xue Town, with more residents coming, and more Rock Bay.”

"It seems that there used to be a very popular Fengxue brand snow maple syrup, but I only saw it in some past books. It is said that it is super delicious. My dad even treasured a small jar, but I can't find it now." Felt struggled to recall.

"Just when everyone thought life would be so dull and full of hope," the little boy sniffed, "...the War to Protect the Nation broke out."

Everyone present fell silent. The War to Protect the Country will always be a pain in the heart of every Locke Kingdom resident. Although the Kingdom won that war, it lost many excellent magicians and warriors, as well as a large number of pets.

"Although Fengxue Town is not the main battlefield like Gaoligong Mountain, it has also been greatly impacted. Almost all the snow maple trees have been destroyed. The residents who came back after the war are also old people who say they are reluctant to grow up together. Big Fengxue Town." The little boy hugged the snow doll in his hand tightly, "My parents died in that war."

Princess Keli didn't know what to say. Although she had some memories when the war broke out, she didn't touch too many things. The only memory was that her father watched the memorial all night and all the ministers quickly and quickly. The sound of heavy footsteps, and the crying maid secretly hiding in the corner of the garden.

"Without the snow maple tree, Fengxue Town can no longer make that kind of syrup. When everyone was frowning, Mayor David decided to build a stone monument here to "remember the war and remember the hero". Through this The impact of the war made Fengxue Town famous and a commemorative place." The little boy smiled bitterly, "Later, Fengxue Town was indeed famous, but it was not what Mayor David thought, and it was not a good reputation. Guess what? What is it?"

"What is it?" Locke and Felt approached.

"Just a year later, the Locke Daily revealed that Fengxue Town was the last place Holy Knight Lu Wei appeared before he disappeared. Fengxue Town was thoroughly searched, and it is not known whether any clues were found in the end, but Fengxue Town's word-of-mouth But it went down immediately."

Lu Wei: ... Well, why did it involve him again?

"Now? After all, we all used the local ice and snow to build a kingdom of ice and snow, which gradually attracted many tourists. You... You came to tell us that this place will be destroyed by the black magician again, wow—we really It's so miserable."

"Wow—" Snow Baby also started to cry.

"Speaking of which, I also feel that Fengxue Town is very miserable. Every time when it is about to get better, various accidents will always happen to shatter the hopes of the residents." Princess Keli sighed.

"Please...you must keep the various ice and snow shapes in Fengxue Town...if they disappear, Mayor David will apply to His Majesty King St. Andrew to merge Fengxue Town into the neighboring Luoxue Town. "After speaking, the little boy ran away in a hurry. The mayor stipulated that he must move to Gaoligong Mountain within three hours. He didn't want to leave a bad impression on the mayor.

Locke's team glanced at each other, only feeling worried, not to mention the ice and snow modeling, whether the entire Fengxue Town can exist is still a question.

"Xia You, we will definitely keep Fengxue Town, right?" In this critical situation, the little princess decided to temporarily put aside her personal grievances, she lingered in front of Xia You and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness, we will definitely be able to keep Fengxue Town." Xia You looked at Princess Keli in front of her and smiled.

"Then if Fengxue Town is saved in the end, I want Fengxue Town to truly prosper so that the residents there will no longer suffer." Princess Keli said word by word very seriously.

"His Royal Highness has such a loving heart for the people. This is the luck of all the residents of the Locke Kingdom."

"That... I can't think of any good way, so let's allocate money, dear Chancellor of the Exchequer." Princess Keli finally revealed her purpose.

It turned out that he was waiting for him here, Xia You raised his eyebrows: "My dear princess, this situation is not that you want to buy a dress for hundreds of Rock Bays or thousands of Rock Bays, but it costs millions of dollars. .”

"At that time, I will tell my father, anyway, you agreed today, don't make trouble." Princess Keli was very happy to see the other party's astonished eyes, and happily made a domineering declaration, then ran away with her skirt in her hands .

"Really." Xia You was helpless, but was immediately called by Mayor David, who didn't know what to do.

"Little Locke, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Dean Griffin smiled, but the smile seemed far-fetched.

"Well, let's get the bad news first." Felt decided to hear the worst news first.

"That's why we investigated once. This black magic circle is indeed a black magic circle with great destructive power, enough to turn Fengxue Town into ashes, and we haven't found a solution yet." Dean Griffin Touch the beard.

"Oh, that's really bad news, so what's the good news?"

"The good news is that we have determined the exact time for Enzo to attack based on the changes in the strength of the magic power in the magic circle." Speaking of this, Mage Ryan was quite proud, "That's right, it is midnight today."

Locke complained: "What kind of good news is this?"

"Principal Griffin, what should we do now?" Ke Lixia was only worried about whether Fengxue Town could survive.

"After I leave, everything here depends on you at Xia You." Dean Griffin tapped the ground with his wand.

"Wait, Dean, where are you going?" Locke took a few steps forward and grabbed the dean's robe, "Dean, Fengxue Town is in a crisis situation right now, and we need your help."

"It is precisely because of the critical situation in Fengxue Town that I have to consider the overall situation and leave." Dean Griffin patted Locke's head, "My existence will only make things worse."

Locke and the others were at a loss.

Dean Griffin sighed, as if he was ten years older: "Little Rock, you must listen to Xia You's words and don't run around... Alas...Actually, not all the things I have done are correct... "

"Then... what should we do now?" Felt walked up to Xia You and asked.

"Well, there are two options. One is that we fight head-on. The winning rate is [-]-[-]. But no matter whether we defeat the man in black or the man in black defeats us, Fengxue Town will definitely be destroyed." Xia You After careful analysis, "Although there are many magicians here, Enzo is very powerful... I was once... ahem, I mean they have arranged a black magic circle in advance."

"What have you been accused of?" Ke Lixia quickly grasped the key points in the sentence, and Lu Wei pricked up his ears.

"Now Fengxue Town is in a crisis situation." Xia You justly rejected the princess's question, "The second choice is to take the road of peace."

"This method is very similar to those countries fighting wars. If you can win a war, you can start a war. If you don't want to fight, you can send a princess to marry you." Felt touched his chin.

"Fert!!!" Princess Keli wanted to beat Feert at this moment.

"Which... Marriage doesn't have to be a princess. Besides, Keli is so young, neither of them is an adult, and Locke and I are not adults. Master Ryan is very old and has children, so now marriageable and unsuitable... ..." Felt glanced at the dozens of Locke present.

Xia You, who was stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes: "..."

The next time you speak, you must speak out at once!

"The peaceful route I'm talking about is not marriage, but negotiation." Xia You raised his forehead, "Negotiation is the best strategy, and marriage can only be regarded as a medium strategy. Besides, I don't have the guts to touch His Majesty King St. Andrew's treasure."

"But..." Felt raised his hand and asked, "What if Enzo asked you to marry him?"

Xia You: "..."

"There's no such possibility, the next one." Xia You gave Felt a sound-suppressing spell with a dark face.

Felt said that this has no effect on him at all, and he can no longer communicate with his mouth, but he can communicate with his seniors.

'Senior, senior, what if Enzo really asked the Minister of Finance to marry him?You see, Your Excellency Xia You is beautiful, capable, and has so many Rock Bays, and his status is so high, it can be said that he has power, wealth and good looks, but the kingdom cannot lack a finance minister. ' Felt felt very worried at the moment.

Lu Wei: ...Although reason tells him that this is impossible, what should I do if I suddenly feel that it makes sense after what Felt said?

But the child must be comforted first, so Lu Wei comforted: "It's okay, you can let him do the handover work before marrying him."

Felt: 'Senior, you are really amazing. '

Here, Xia You is still discussing with a group of magicians what kind of request the other party may make, and what the bottom line of our side and the bottom line of the other party may be, while Felt, who was silenced on the other side, has already discussed with Lu Wei about Xia You. Your Excellency Yu's dowry should contain something.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the square was empty, with cold wind blowing from time to time. Xia You sat on the white round wooden table and knocked on the table boredly. Next to him was Mayor David and Master Ryan on the left, and the princess and Phil on the right. Special, as for Locke...But he was left in the house. In Xia You's words, "Although Enzo's current goal is Fengxue Town, who knows if he will take the opportunity to capture Locke."

"Hey, do you think Enzo will come?" Felt looked suspiciously at the five empty chairs on the opposite side, and then turned to ask Princess Keri on his right.

Then Princess Keli stretched out her hand and straightened Felt's head.

Woc when did he show up!

I saw a man in black sitting in the middle opposite, with silver-white hair falling from the hood. He couldn't see his face, but he could clearly see the blood-red light in his eyes and a small exposed chin.

"Enzo."

Xia You tensed all of a sudden, and his entire palm was flat on the table. The little princess who was familiar with him could see at a glance that her mortal enemy was in a very tense state.

"it's me."

With a very cold tone and carelessness, it seems that it is not an urgent negotiation, but a dispensable afternoon tea.

"Is it possible?" Xia You didn't look into the other person's eyes, but just kept looking at the manuscript prepared in front of him.

The scene was still for 10 minutes, Felt felt that the palms of his hands were sweating now, and sometimes silence and waiting were what scared Locke the most.

"……Have."

The other party seemed very satisfied with their performance like the scared grass chicken, and even chuckled, but Felt's hairs stood on his head. Last time in the Eight Badges Challenge, the other party also chuckled like this, and then he himself He flew upside down with Locke and almost died.

"These." Xia You scratched the paper in front of him, "Did you know? Enzo, at the negotiating table, the most important bargaining chips are always the last ones."

"Oh? What do you want to say?" Enzo raised his eyebrows. He sat up straight, obviously interested in what Xia You said was the most important bargaining chip.Master Ryan and Mayor David are trying their best to wink at Xia You, which is different from what we said before, big brother.

"In the beginning, we planned to use the conditions on paper first. If you deny all the conditions on paper, we will have the final bargaining chip." Xia You suddenly relaxed after thinking of something. He leaned back on the back of the chair, " To be honest, this scene reminds me of the time when I challenged you with my backing fan team."

"It happened a long time ago, and I can't remember clearly." Enzo smiled, and the atmosphere finally eased a little, "Then I'm really curious, what can you come up with?"

Felt whispered to Ke Lixia: "Ke Li, you said that the last bargaining chip is really Xia You's marriage to Enzo."

Princess Keli replied in a low voice: "I hope so."

But the negotiating table is only that big, and the self-confident whispers were actually heard clearly in this quiet night.

Xia You: ...mmp I shouldn't have brought these two out.

Enzo: "..."

"Ahem, the last bargaining chip is just a very common thing, but I think you should want it, and this is your thing in the first place, so it's not good to keep it hidden." Xia You stretched his hand to the bottom, and then Take out a box.

"Oh, I have too many things, you should tell Griffin this sentence... Wait? Why do you have this?" Enzo originally put his hand on the armrest, but now everyone can clearly hear The armrest made a cracking sound.

So what is the final bargaining chip?Felt stretched his neck to look, but he couldn't see anything except a blue box. Lu Wei felt that the box was familiar to fans, and he must have seen it sometime.

"I think we can talk alone, can't we?" Enzuo pushed the piece of paper back in front of Xia You.

Xia You shook the box in his hand, as if the box was a gold medal for avoiding death, raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course."

The atmosphere of the entire negotiation was completely changed because of a small box, but it was a pity that the four of them were forced to leave the scene.

"I don't need the things on it, but give me back the box." Enzo leaned forward.

"It's a big taboo to just put out what you want on the negotiating table." Xia You shook the box and heard the sound of things crashing inside, "Besides, you and I don't even know what's inside...Fert How did you come back?"

Felt didn't speak, but placed red candles, a large bouquet of red roses, a stack of fruits, a plate of melon seeds, a bottle of wine and two goblets on the table within ten seconds, and then left quickly.

The current scene is that Enzuo and Xia You are sitting face to face on both sides of a small table. The red candles on the table are flickering, illuminating a small piece of darkness, and also making the fruits on the table extraordinarily delicious. It is quiet and open at night, exuding a charming aroma.

It would be perfect with a little more fireworks.

The misty candlelight shone on the faces of the two of them, and their expressions were dull and unclear.

Xia You: ...hehehe Felt see how I deal with you.

But it's still time to negotiate.

"Actually, do you really think that we should be on the negotiating table at this moment...as hostile parties?" Xia You was the first to pass the box over, generously.

"You are not afraid of being snatched away by me directly."

Enzo took the box, with only one sentence written on it: "Happy 13th birthday to His Excellency Enzo, the most powerful No. 19 chief magician in the history of the Locke Kingdom! —— Lu Wei who loves you the most", he put the box Bumped a bit, "It should be a book or wood."

"I reckon it is." Xia You raised his eyebrows and watched as the other party opened the box. It turned out to be a blue notebook, and the material should be ghost sheepskin.

"Because he has nothing else to give away besides these, basically the same every year." Enzo put the notebook back into the box.

"Hahahahahaha indeed."

"So what is the final bargaining chip?" Princess Keli smiled at the residents who had moved in again after the crisis was lifted, and then turned to ask Xia You who was beside her.

"This...is a secret." Xia You summoned Huo Yu, "His Royal Highness, do you want me to take you back to the Kingdom Center?"

"No, I'm still here to supervise the construction of Fengxue Town." Princess Keli waved her hand, "I don't know where Felt has gone, so forget it and leave him alone."

And in the cellar of a family in Fengxue Town, three black shadows are stealing Chinese cabbage from others.

"What are you doing?" A black light flashed, and the three shadows were instantly kicked away, and they all hit the wall of the cellar.

"Who are you? How dare you sneak attack on the wise and mighty chicken and cow troops?" Envy threw a dark grunt ball, "Demon ding——"

"Heh, I didn't come to fight with you today." The person who came was a tall and thin man, wrapped in a black cloak, with a black mist on his face, "Is Enzo okay?"

"We will never betray the leader." The chicken and cow troops put on a classic pose.

"That's enough, I don't have time to spend with you." The man in black threw a bag to the chicken and cow troops, "You give this to Enzo... er... just say that I overheard Puni's prophecy, so I kindly gave him some hint."

"It's easy to say, so it turns out that you are also a fan of Master Enzo." He sighed in relief and hugged the bag, the man in black paused, then turned around, "What do you mean by a fan?"

"There are so many people who send gifts, roses, and love letters to Lord Enzo every year, but they can't find the entrance to the Dark Ridge, so we will let our chicken and cow troops take them back." Hate smiled, and stretched out his hand, "One Hundred Locke Bay's postage."

The man in black was quite speechless, but in the end he snorted and threw a money bag to Hen, and then hurriedly disappeared into Fengxue Town.

'Senior, that's one hundred rock bays. Felt screamed, "How many roast ducks do you have to sell to earn back?" '

'Don't pay too much attention to things outside your body, Felt. Lu Wei calmly lifted the Transformation Curse, "If you keep yelling, I won't teach you to kick the chicken and cow troops away." '

'Senior, I shut up. '

In Diablo Ridge, Enzo was sitting at the desk with the blue notebook in his hand, which was just a very ordinary one, but with Lu Wei's handwriting on every page.

"Well, here is Enzo's notebook."

"Today's chief magician is also very powerful."

"Enzo will definitely create a new record for the Locke Kingdom."

"I don't know what to leave on this page..."

"Enzo, don't stay up all night doing experiments anymore, it will hurt your health."

"The war will end, and the kingdom will be at peace."

"...ヾ(°°)"

"... Comparing my heart"

I don't know how long it took Lu Wei to write a message on the back of each piece. At that time, everyone was busy with the war, so that guy must have stayed up late at night to write.

Enzo rested his head on his left hand, so many unrepeated words probably made Lu Wei's head bald, and he turned to the last page with a "crash".

"Enzo and everyone must always protect the kingdom, come on, I love you."

Enzo: "..."

"Lord Enzo, another black magician has brought you something." The chicken and cow troop dragged their bags and ran back to Dark Ridge. "This time it is said that there is a hint of the big prophecy Puni."

"But today is neither Valentine's Day nor Chinese Valentine's Day, those women are really crazy." Cullen expressed envy that the leader received a large number of roses every Chinese Valentine's Day.

Enzo stretched out his hand, and the bag held by the chicken and cow troop opened automatically, and a bunch of flowers flew out like this.

This bouquet of narcissus lilies has green and slender stems, dewdrops rolling on the pointed and long leaves, and the dark green leaf tips are slightly drooping. Several of them have already bloomed, and the light pink petals tremble in the air. A small stamen of a color between pink and milky yellow hides in the deepest part, emitting a light fragrance quietly.

"Hey, Mr. Enzo, is it a friend you haven't seen for a long time but you really want to see?" Snoke poked his head out, "It's not roses or tulips this year."

"How?" Enzo paused for a while holding the bouquet.

"Because Narcissus Lily's words were—" Snoke thought about it carefully, "I look forward to meeting you again."

Looking forward to meeting you again.
