Chapter 227: Captive
"First of all!"
"We have no ill intentions, things are like what I said at the beginning, we are only living here temporarily, there are only some homeless refugees behind the parapet, and we will definitely not try to do anything in the desert." β
Gently raising the wine bowl, Tian Xian's expression was heavy, "Now, the only supplies we have here that are still abundant are water, no food, no houses, nothing. β
"But you have robbed the desert of the treasure!" the little girl stared at a pair of big eyes, and if you looked closely, her eyes were actually silver.
"I didn't want to rob any treasures, but I didn't want to be threatened and passively to find out what the Sand King wanted me to do, but something happened and I lost important things and two companions, and even part of my memories when the first heat stream erupted in the desert. β
"That's your own death!"
Tian Xian smiled bitterly, "It's true that I asked for my own hardship, but I had to recover what I lost, which is very important to me, and you will know what happened after that." β
"The first few knights of the Holy Spirit Temple......"
"Yes, they are all innocent, I believe you should have known about it a long time ago. β
"Hmph!" the little girl snorted heavily, "You're not very old, but you're full of tricks!"
Tianxian almost laughed, and was told by such a young girl that she was not old, this was the first time, and although this little girl was young, her behavior and tone of speech did not look like a child, but her eyes occasionally revealed a little bit of the childishness of the little girl's family.
"If you know that. Then let's get down to business!" "I hope you can tell me why the Sand King wants me to come back here on the first day of the Siren Moon, and what does this have to do with that sword?"
"Sand King Sand King!" the little girl became angry again, pointed at Tianxian's nose and scolded: "You idiot! I am the Sand King! Don't you still believe it, or don't you take this king in your eyes?"
Tian Xian rolled his eyes and slapped the little girl's hand, "How do you look like a sand king? You are hidden in the armor of the sand king, and your head has not reached your neck! You told me that you are the sand king?"
"I ......" the little girl was a little speechless for a while, and shouted angrily: "I am the Sand King!......! You ......"
Tian Xian hurriedly nodded: "Okay, good, I admit that you are the Sand King." We don't dwell on this. I still have something to talk to you about. β
The little girl was angry, she naturally saw that Tianxian was just coping, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, it's okay if you don't believe it." But you're going to regret it!"
"I said it. I never regret it. Tian Xian smiled. "Now, my Lord Sand King, can you sue me? Why would you want me to come back to the desert in the Kraken Moon? I want you to be honest, because it's a matter of whether or not you can get that sword back. β
The Sand King asked suspiciously, "Are you still willing to return the sword?"
"He's of limited use to me, and I don't want to carry something like that if the situation is right. β
The sand king hesitated, furrowed his thin eyebrows, and thought for a while, the person who looked at it couldn't help laughing, but her tone carried the heaviness of the desert: "This is the secret of the desert, I can't tell an outsider, I can tell you, only we are threatened by the sword, but we can't dig it out of the ground, because it is buried by thick mixed sand." β
"You're going to dig out that sword?" Tian Xian was surprised, "Wouldn't I have done you a favor?"
"You may think so, but although we are threatened by the sword, we cannot live without it! What we need is to move it somewhere else, not to be taken away......!"
"So you want that gold back!"
"Not bad!" the little girl talked about the Great Sword of the Wasteland, with a solemnity and composure that was very inappropriate for her age, she looked at Tianxian and said without humility or arrogance: "Even now, I still hope that I can exchange wealth for that sword, so that we can all benefit!
"Oops!" the sand king was about to say something, but he screamed, and some drops of water fell on her face.
"You ......" The Sand King's face suddenly tensed, and his silver eyes were full of anger.
"You see, you can't even avoid the droplets I pop up now, but you're still going to wage war against me?"
The sand king stared at Tian Xian with vicious eyes, wiped off the water droplets and said coldly: "Yes, I have to admit that I may not be able to resist at this distance, but it doesn't matter......"
Grabbing a handful of yellow sand from the ground, looking at the sand that slowly slipped between his fingers, the Sand King was clear, "I have been born since birth, my body and spirit belong to this desert, my body can die, but my spirit will still support my people, you killed me, but you can't kill every Shalit warrior, as long as this desert still exists, we ...... will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"
Although she is a young girl, these words can't help but make Tianxian slightly moved, what kind of experience can make a girl of this age say such heavy words, this girl who should be hiding in her mother's arms and spoiling, but she seems to have seen through life and death.
Sprinkled the yellow sand in the wine bowl of Tianxian, the sand king's somewhat childish face was full of coldness, "The desert has countless riches, but my people do not have endless blood, I am willing to exchange wealth for that sword, as long as you are willing to exchange and respect our faith, otherwise ......"
Standing up again, the Sand King picked up something from under his feetβone of the parts of her armor.
"Otherwise, we will fight to the end! You can choose now, one is to choose wealth, the other is to choose the sword, if you choose wealth, then I will offer a million catties of gold and a hundred spiritual stigmata. β
"If you don't, you can kill me before I put on all my armor!, or I'll lead all my people to level this place at any cost!" She picked up another piece on the sand, and the two parts merged in one place, and with a "clatter" sound, they became half a gauntlet.
Looking at the sand in the wine bowl, Tian Xian sighed helplessly, this little girl is not very old, but she is really difficult to deal with, and she is not as easy to fool as a child.
"I don't think I have the blessing to enjoy the gold!"
The Sand King will run away!
The sand wall she had raised earlier also exploded in an instant, and seven or eight armor parts fell out of it, it turned out that she had secretly manipulated the sand to secretly condense the scattered armor in the sand wall. At the same time, the sand around Tianxian was also heavily pressed down. Obviously, the Sand King had already prepared for this moment.
In an instant, the seven or eight pieces of armor were put together, and those were two combat boots.
With these two combat boots, although it is very ill-fitting. But the speed of the Sand King is obviously twice as fast, I don't know. The thin body almost turned into a black shadow in the sandstorm, and quickly fled from the place.
"Boom !!"
A loud explosion was heard behind the Sand King. The Sand King turned back in horror, but saw that the wall of sand she had raised not only did not fall to the opposite side to suppress Tianxian, but seemed to be hit by some force. Pounced on himself.
"Boom!!"
The second explosion followed, and the heavy sand wall exploded in an instant, and the sand and gravel flew like a smashing knife with strange blue and white flames, and a blood-colored figure came out of it, rushing in front of the Sand King in the blink of an eye.
"Die!!"
Seeing Tianxian breaking the sand wall, although the sand king was stunned, he was not slow at all, and the two sand guns stabbed out fiercely!
"That's it!"
Tianxian had a big hand, and the two sand guns were in the palm of Tianxian's palm, but they were shattered, and a hand knife was directly slashed on the neck, and the sand king's body suddenly softened.
Reaching out to grab her neck, Tian Xian shook his hand, and there was a faint pain in the place where he was stabbed by the sand gun, "This little bastard, it's so troublesome!
............
The wind and sand gradually stopped.
Everyone on the parapet is watching the situation, according to Guli's construction, when the wind and sand are smaller, and you can see things within twenty meters, you will go out to look for leisure, and everyone is waiting for that moment.
"Look!" Suddenly Guli shouted, pointing to the wind and sand with a happy face.
In the dark wind and sand, a figure slowly approached the parapet.
"It's that bastard!" Dolma exclaimed, "He's all right!
"How...... It seems to be with someone?" Tu Ge noticed suspiciously, that Tian Xian seemed to be carrying something on his shoulders.
Five minutes later, everyone gathered under the parapet, and all of them looked at Tian Xian, who had just returned to the parapet, with some surprise, because Tian Xian spit out the sand in his mouth, and put down a little blonde girl from his shoulder......
The girl's eyes were closed and she looked like she had passed out.
Zhuoma looked at the little girl in amazement, and looked at Tianxian with great appreciation, "Little ghost! You are very staked! You can kidnap girls in such a big sandstorm!"
Tian Xian slapped the dust on his body, and flicked his hand on the sand king's head, "Don't pretend to be dead, I know you woke up early." β
Everyone was stunned, only to see that the little girl suddenly bent down and sat up from the ground, and her movements were as fast as a cunning rabbit, and she pounced directly on the snow less than two meters away from her.
"Hey, ...... wait?"
It was only halfway through the gossip, and the cold air had already forced the second half of the sentence back, and the surrounding of the snow seemed to open the entrance of the eternal cold cave, and the fierce ice wind whistled out, wrapping the thin body of the sand king!
"Boom!"
She just kept her forward stance, covered in frost, and fell stiffly to the ground.
Everyone was shivering from the cold, and couldn't help but be shocked to stay a few steps away from the snow, all the time, the snow was silent, and even got along with everyone with a low sense of zΓ i, but no one would ignore this quiet girl, because once she moved, there were usually unexpected consequences.
Tianxian sighed helplessly, "I told you to wait...... If you want to sneak attack, there may be a chance to sneak attack Ali, this is asking for your own death...... Snow, don't let it out of the cold anymore, she'll really freeze to death......"
Maybe you didn't pay attention to it, but every day it is almost inseparable from the snow, eating together, sleeping together, but Tian Xian knows the changes of the snow well, since entering the Divine Domain, or since entering the Thunder Ancient City, the ethereal spirit fluctuations on the snow have become more and more active, correspondingly. Her innate mental strength and cold aura also became stronger, and sometimes, when she woke up, she could find fine ice crystals outside the quilt, which were inadvertently condensed in the air by the snow while sleeping.
In the first days of the Silent Forest, it never happened.
The Sand King chose the target of the sneak attack on Xue, maybe she saw Xue as a weak girl, but ...... This is a big mistake.
After a while, everyone sat together, a fire was lit, and the ice from the Sand King was knocked off. She was under everyone's strange gaze. Wrapped in two blankets, he was still shivering and baking the fire.
When she came out of her mother's womb, the sand king had never seen what ice looked like, and this time she was instantly frozen into ice by the snow, which scared her half to death. Now she didn't even dare to look at the snow.
Look at me, everyone. I'll look at you. In the end, Dolma coughed, "I said, little ghost, what is the origin of this little girl? Why did you bring her back?"
Tian Xian was drinking water vigorously, blowing in the sandstorm for so long, not only covered in dust, but also thirsty.
Gollum poured another bowl of water, patted the sand king's head, "For everyone...... Gollum, introduce, this ...... It's the Sand King. β
"Oh, she's the Sand King. Dolma nodded, everyone nodded with him, and then ...... Suddenly there was silence.
"Grunt" is only the sound of drinking water in the morning.
"Sand King?" Arion looked at the little girl in front of him in a daze, "You mean, you kidnapped the Sand King's daughter?"
A word woke up the person in the dream, and everyone instantly had an expression of sudden realization.
"Oh, damn the gods, you actually found the daughter of the Sand King?"
"Speaking of which, this little girl is really similar to the Sand King!"
"Nonsense! You've seen what the Sand King looks like, he's always wearing armor!"
"But why did the Sand King bring his daughter?"
"Hmm...... Does the Sand King have a daughter?"
"Is it a granddaughter?"
"But even a granddaughter shouldn't seem to be brought here?"
"......"
As he spoke, everyone slowly quieted down again, and their eyes fell on Tian Xian's face, who was still drinking water, and it was obvious that it was extremely unnatural for such a little girl to appear here anyway.
"Ben...... This king, just ...... That is, it's ...... Sand King ......" The Sand King, who was still trembling, said with a trembling voice and teeth fighting.
Of course, no one paid attention to this sentence, and everyone looked at the sky.
Tianxian had to put down the water bowl for the time being, "You all heard that this little girl is the sand king, at least that's what she said." β
The sand king trembled, stood up violently, threw away the blanket, and shouted: "This king, this king repeats it again! This king is ...... He is the ruler of the Sand King, and he is ...... It's the Sand King!!"
Everyone looked at the little girl in front of them strangely, their eyes gradually became pitying, and Dolma sighed, "Poor child, your brain must be frozen, quickly put on the blanket, don't get cold." β
As he spoke, Dolma picked up the blanket on the ground and draped it over her, and then helped her wrap herself around.
The sand king was furious, and the condensation force was about to fight back, but before she could make a move, she suddenly felt a pain in her lower abdomen, and an invisible vortex seemed to appear in her abdomen, which instantly sucked all the power away, which couldn't help but make her body feel crooked and fall down weakly.
Dolma hurriedly held her, reached out and touched her forehead, and couldn't help frowning, "It's a little hot, this is not good." β
Saying that, Zhuoma unceremoniously kicked the Tianxian beside him, "Give me a side! Now there are patients here who need to be roasted, go and move your sleeping bunk!"
Tian Xian smiled bitterly, but under Dolma's forced gaze, he had to get up and move his simple sleeping bunk.
Although everyone wondered about the origin of this little girl, she looked very weak now, and it seemed that she would be taken to the sky as soon as the wind blew, so naturally no one would ask more, and then Zhuoma set up a sleeping bunk for her in front of the fire and let her sleep first.
Shawang didn't want to sleep, and she didn't even want Dolma to bang herself, but she found that she was weak for no reason, and she was so weak that she couldn't even raise her hand, and she couldn't resist at all.
After arranging the sand king, everyone sat down again and asked about the situation before the day was free.
Tianxian was very helpless to face everyone's puzzled eyes, "This little girl is really the sand king, although I am also very strange, but I am 80% sure that she is the real sand king." β
Everyone continued to stare at Tianxian with the gaze of believing that you have a ghost, which made Tianxian really feel powerless to defend.
"As far as I know, the Sand King had just succeeded to the throne during the last conflict with the Longyuan Empire, when he was in his early thirties, and he had personally been to the battlefield on the desert border, he was a very handsome man, and the Longyuan Empire even posted his bounty order to every corner of the adventurer's activities at one time!" Gu Li glanced at the little girl, "That was more than ten years ago, do you want to say that this little girl is the Sand King now?"
Vero also said: "The Shalit Empire has been very calm over the years, and there is no civil strife under the rule of the Sand King, the Sand King has a total of five children, four sons, a daughter, and the second son unfortunately died, the youngest daughter is about the same age as this little girl, but unfortunately disappeared in a sandstorm two years ago, and the Sand King has not yet passed on the throne, even if he secretly passed the throne, it was naturally passed on to his eldest prince, and this little girl, or even this kind of little girl has nothing to do with it at all." β
"Ben...... Ben Wang ...... "The sand king was lying in his sleeping bunk, covered with a thick blanket, and his voice was so weak that he could barely hear it.
Tianxian handed her a bowl of water, "Don't talk, I'll explain it for you, drink this first." β
The sand king was really thirsty, or hungry and thirsty, she opened her mouth, and Tianxian put the water bowl to her mouth, and the immature lips were touched with water, and the sand king was slightly surprised.
The water is hot!
Obviously there is no boiling water!
Impatiently, the sand king drank the bowl of water and fell asleep.
"Alright, now I'm going to tell you a strange thing, I don't know if any of you can explain it to me!"
Everyone's eyes were strange, and what Tian Xian was holding in his hand was a shoulder pad part of an armor. (To be continued......)
