Chapter 252: We Are Not Brave
The light of the black power stone in the princess's hand was getting brighter and brighter, and although it was daytime, the light emitted by the black power stone in her hand almost overshadowed the light emitted by the sun.
The greater the light of the black power stone, the brighter the magic array under everyone's feet also became, and when the magic array became brighter and brighter, people were eliminated from the magic array one after another.
Those who are rejected by the magic circle have already been judged as non-brave, which means that you can get out, and there is nothing to do with you here.
But being excluded is not as simple as being knocked away, the person who was knocked away by the magic array was either missing an arm or a broken leg, and the scene was bloody.
Bing Linglong, who was standing not far away, raised her heart to her throat, she didn't want to see Dao Dao or Bing Qingqiu being shot out so miserably, although the recovery potion of the adventure world can quickly recover from injuries, but who wants to bear this kind of pain?
She didn't understand Shimashima, but she knew that her cousin would never be able to stand this kind of torture. Unfortunately, she couldn't help much, so she could only watch from afar as her hands clasped together, praying that nothing would happen to either of them, which was the only thing she could do now.
The princess standing outside the magic array with a black power stone in both hands revealed indifference in her eyes, and she didn't know how many times she had performed the Brave Ceremony, from the initial fear to the current numbness, she had also experienced too much.
Watching the people in the magic array gradually being eliminated, a sense of emptiness and loss followed, looking forward to it again and again, disappointed again and again, she just hoped that the brave man could appear to break the witch's curse and restore the ancient kingdom to its original state.
It's a pity that there has been no brave man for a long time, as if the brave man does not exist at all, and the prophecy is also a lie, whether it is a lie or not, for most of the Demon Ancient Kingdom, this is a belief.
They believe that the Brave will appear, and that the Brave will solve the curse and restore the kingdom to its original state. This is their spiritual pillar, so even if it is fake, it must be taken as true, even in order to make the kingdom peaceful, the princess must perform the ceremony of bravery, only in this way can they appease their helpless and empty hearts.
It was only one failure after another, and even though the people of the kingdom still believed in the parable of the brave, the princess and some of the ministers of the royal palace had lost hope in the brave.
Perhaps the brave man is just a beautiful prophecy, and the prophecy exists only to appease the ordinary people.
Those people in the magic array were now terrified, watching the people around them fly out one after another with missing arms and legs, blood splashing everywhere, they were already frightened at this moment, and even regretted coming to participate in this so-called brave ceremony.
Naturally, there is no shortage of people who originally had the confidence to think that they were brave, and of course, there were also people who had the mentality of trying to get by, but all the beliefs of these people were no longer such thoughts after seeing what the magic array had done to those who were knocked out.
Some just leave quickly, or pray that it is not so miserable, and as for regret, there is no hurry, after all, the magic array has been activated, and the blue light curtain around it is like a barrier, unless it is rejected by the magic array, it is impossible to escape, unless you have the strength to surpass the strength of this magic array.
Only with strong strength may be able to force out of this magic array, and in addition, they can only wait for the princess to lift the magic array, of course, these two things are impossible, so these people in the magic array can only bear the torture caused by fear little by little but can do nothing.
"No, I'm not a brave man, let me out!"
"Your Royal Highness Princess, stop the magic array, I may not be a brave man, I made a mistake."
"Me neither...."
"And me..."
.......
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, how could one person deny and admit the rest of the people to hold on, especially seeing the tragic situation of those guys, it is impossible not to admit it now, maybe only in this way can you escape the catastrophe.
It's just that the princess is still indifferent, ignoring it as if she didn't hear any sound, in fact, the magic array has isolated the sound from inside, and it can't be transmitted to the outside, so the princess can't hear what they are saying at all.
Her eyes were fixed on Shimashima, a young man who had been very calm from beginning to end, even if he saw others being knocked away by the magic array and seriously injured, he still didn't react at all.
As if he was very confident that he would be a brave man, Bing Qingqiu, who was standing beside him, was also scared, after all, how could a little girl withstand this kind of toss, just thinking about her was terrifying.
Pulling the corner of the island, his face was extremely pale and his eyes were moist, and he looked at him as if he was about to cry: "I... We... Will it be like them? ”
Her voice was trembling, and the hand that grabbed the corner of Shimashima was also trembling, he could feel the fear that Bing Qingqiu was exuding, and he also knew that this little ghost was really scared.
Stretching out his hand and touching Bing Qingqiu's little head, Dao Dao Island smiled: "Don't worry, it's okay, because we are both brave." ”
"The brave... Are we really brave? ....”
She looked at Dao Dao in confusion, she didn't know why he was so calm, so confident, as if everything was expected, compared to those people, he was indeed calm and terrible, calm and terrible, and nothing seemed to bring him a particularly big mood swing.
His calmness and meaninglessness also drove Bing Qingqiu, her original hesitation and fear had gradually stabilized, without the fear at the beginning, she tried not to listen to the screams of those people, and only this would make her feel better.
.........
"Hmph, the number of eliminated people is already more than half, Minister of Magic, are you ready to lose to me with the purple construction site glove?"
The captain of the guard looked at the Minister of Magic with a smug face, he felt that the other party was just sending him equipment, he didn't expect such a thing as a brave, instead of believing in the existence of the brave and waiting for the brave to save him, it was better to strengthen himself and then use his own strength to fight against the witch and the four wings.
Putting the task of eradicating the forces of evil on the ethereal brave man is not his style as a captain of the guard, and it is nothing more than nonsense to predict that the brave can save the world.
The Minister of Magic looked at the captain's expression on his face and suddenly smiled, "Hahahahaha... Did you have a problem with your ears last time? I've told you many times, don't be too reckless and don't be too sloppy in doing things, be careful if you can, but it's a pity that you can't get rid of this problem. ”
Minister El didn't bother to pay attention to these two guys, his eyes wandered back and forth between the princess and the two sisters, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
When the king heard the words of the Minister of Magic, he couldn't help but smile.
Only the captain of the guard was very confused, and he didn't know why they were laughing suddenly.
"Your Majesty, do you want to shield the Minister of Magic!?"
"If that's the case, then I... Then I... Then I..."
The captain of the guard didn't say anything for a long time, so I could only look at the king with a bitter face, and the resentful look really looked like an angry little daughter-in-law.
"Ahem, don't look at me like that, this is really your carelessness, you think carefully about what the Minister of Magic said at that time."
The king coughed dryly a few times, and said with a little embarrassment, when they bet, the king deliberately did not break it, in fact, he wanted to teach the captain of the guard a lesson, so that he could keep an eye on it in the future, otherwise he would suffer a big loss if he was always so-so like this.
"You don't forget what I said, do you?"
The old face of the Minister of Magic almost burst into laughter, you said that old people tend to forget things, forget it, how can you be an upright middle-aged person with such a bad memory?
Seeing the old face of the Minister of Magic, who smiled like a chrysanthemum, the captain of the guard became angry, and he couldn't wait to turn his fist over now and beat this old guy away, of course, just thinking about it.
"Why can't I remember? Just kidding, forget? How could I have forgotten this kind of thing, when I was you? I don't have Alzheimer's yet. ”
"Oh, then you should tell me and see, don't just shout, the louder you say, the more you hide the fear in your heart, so you must have forgotten what I said."
"Just say it, I'm afraid of you!"
"Then you say!"
"Okay!"
The Minister of Magic and the captain of the guard, an old man and a middle-aged man, were arguing about this kind of thing, and the king couldn't help but laugh, and it was precisely because of the existence of the two of them that he would not feel so bored.
Staying in a high position for a long time still needs a confidant, and the two of them are his confidants, he can say whatever he thinks of without mustard, it is so direct, and it is precisely because of this that he needs it most.
"You've been fine for a long time, why don't you say it? I think you've just forgotten what I said last time. ”
"I even admit it, hum, it's not good to be old and brainy."
"I don't think you want to be the captain of the guard anymore, you wear a vine whip around your waist every day, who are you scaring about?"
"You better go to logistics, cooking or something is more suitable for you, remember to bring a hat or your hair will fall off."
"Ouch, I'm sorry I forgot, you don't have hair. Sorry, sorry. ”
"Look at your baldness, it's slippery, you can't remember things desperately, and then it will become like this, right?"
"Don't worry, I won't mind, after all, after so many years of old friends, I will definitely develop a better magic potion that can cure your middle-aged dementia, you have to believe me."
The Minister of Magic bombarded wildly, not to mention that the king was dumbfounded, even the Minister of El, who had been paying attention to the beauty, was also dumbfounded, he didn't know that this old man owed so much.
