Volume XVI, Chapter XXIV
Ling Yue smiled and combed her fluffy black and messy short hair, with a confident and gentle smile on her face: "Dear Miss Si'er, if you still think that you are going to die, you will despise me too much!"
"Lingyue, it's really you, I thought it was ...... just now I, it turns out that what I saw just now was really your face!" Si'er said incoherently in surprise and delight. Ling Yue squatted down, gently grabbed Si'er's hand, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, of course it's me, with me, you'll be fine." Si'er nodded trustingly.
On the side, Yue Ying smiled and said, "I knew that Miss Si'er must be fine!" Billy Winmir turned back curiously and asked, "How do you know?" Yue Ying smiled triumphantly: "When I went down to look for Miss Si'er and His Excellency Feng Ling just now, the High Priest stopped me, so I knew it! And I also worked with the High Priest and the knights he led to kill all the lackeys of Karl Ivan who were about to come up for reinforcements!"
Ling Yue's true face made Feng feel very upset about his offense just now, and he took the initiative to apologize to Ling Yue, but Ling Yue gently waved his hand to him, saying that those who didn't know were not to blame. Feng Feng, who was relieved, glanced at Si'er and asked Lingyue, "What is the reason for Miss Si'er's illness, and how can it get worse every time?" Everyone's eyes were focused on Lingyue, which was undoubtedly the question they wanted to know. Ling Yue looked at Si'er's face, she was also eager to know what happened to her body, Ling Yue pondered for a moment, and sighed: "After you left the royal city, I consulted some ancient books, and the results showed. It must have been caused by improper practice of black magic. Everyone looked at each other, and Ling Yue continued to explain: "I guess. It should be the result of Si'er's forced practice of black magic under the persecution of Karl Yivan. The practice of black magic requires a certain amount of white magic as a foundation. Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Ling Yue explained unhurriedly: "The so-called white magic refers to the healing and strengthening magic of the sacred system, as well as elemental magic, for example, the Duke and I use this kind of magic, white magic is the foundation of magic, Si'er does not have such a foundation, and Karl Yiwen will not teach her white magic, because the mastery of white magic requires long-term hard practice." Karl Ivan was so anxious to turn Si'er into his killing machine that he didn't care about any of that. With the gradual increase of the black magic power in Si'er's body, because she does not have enough foundation, Si'er can no longer control the excessive black magic energy in her body, so whenever she casts a spell, the black magic in her body will be uncontrolled, and it will leak out at least or accumulate in her body and hurt her organs. Finally, it is life-threatening. This is also a sequelae peculiar to black magic, because people who practice white magic are themselves based on white magic, so this does not happen. ”
After Ling Yue explained. People finally understood everything, and thought that Si'er had just bound the soul of the evil dragon in order to save everyone. Unleashed a large amount of mana, which caused her to almost lose her life. Everyone was grateful and sorry at the same time.
"So, is there a way to cure her?" asked Yueying with concern. Ling Yue shook her head. People's hearts can't help but sink, and there is no way to save it? If this continues, Si'er will not give up his life sooner or later!
Si'er looked at the distressed and regretful expressions on everyone's faces, and smiled faintly: "Don't worry about me, even if there is no way to save me, with all of you by my side, I am relieved, I only hope that before the end of my life, I can help you do more good deeds and atone for the sins I have committed." ”
"Si'er," Ling Yue held her hand tightly and solemnly comforted her: "Si'er, don't say such things again, can't you see that none of us regard you as a guilty person, you are our partner, and all of us are your brothers and sisters." Don't worry, I haven't found a way yet, but as long as I see the Duke, I think things will improve. Even if we can't do it, we can let the green dragon take you back to Normanderland to try, the elves have many powerful priests and elders, and there are many secret magic recipes that are not known to outsiders, maybe they will have a way to cure you. No matter what, you have to have confidence, with all of us by your side, you will be fine!" Ling Yue's sincere persuasion made Si'er grateful, she plucked up her courage and nodded vigorously to everyone.
"Her Royal Highness Princess......" Yue Ying interrupted Ling Yue's words: "Don't call me Her Royal Highness Princess, just call Yue Ying!" Ling Yue looked at her hesitantly: "This is too rude." Yueying smiled easily and generously: "It's okay, everyone around me calls me that, and Winmill, he can call him that, why can't you?" she pointed at Billy Winmill playfully, Billy Winmill shrugged with a smile.
"In that case," Ling Yue dispelled her worries, but still maintained the necessary court etiquette, and said to Yue Ying: "Your Royal Highness Yue Ying, please take care of Si'er with Your Excellency Wen Mill, I have a few words to say to Feng...... "Yue Ying patted her chest with a clear eye, and said confidently: "Don't worry, wrap it up on me!"
Ling Yue nodded with satisfaction, looked back at Si'er, and the smile on her face had not yet dissipated: "I'll talk to Feng and I'll be back soon." Si'er nodded, Lingyue stood up and walked to the side, Feng handed Si'er into Yueying's arms, and walked to Lingyue's side by herself.
"Why are you here?doesn't it matter if there is no one in Wangcheng?" Feng didn't wait for Ling Yue to speak, and asked first.
Ling Yue's expression was very unnatural, and he replied lightly: "It doesn't matter, I have asked a high priest to temporarily preside over the affairs of the Holy Assembly in my place, under the pretext that I can't leave the palace for Your Majesty's healing, and quietly slipped out, I don't think anyone will find out that I am not in the country in a short time." As for the affairs of state, I have already handed over to the Duke of Edsor, he is a relatively reliable man, you and I know this. As for me, even you don't know that I'm here with the army, and no one else will. His tone made Kaede feel as if he was facing a pessimistic and misanthropic person.
"Then why are you here? Didn't we all plan it...... Could it be that it's just for Si'er?" there was a bit of reproach in Kaede's tone, and although he didn't think that Ling Yue was a person who was willing to be crazy about women to the point of desperation, he still couldn't understand his actions.
"I'm for the duke, for our country. Ling Yue was unusually calm.
"Really? I hope it's not a high-sounding excuse. Kaede grunted angrily.
Ling Yue glanced at him. A soft sigh: "Your Majesty is gone." ”
Feng couldn't help but be stunned, and didn't understand Ling Yue's meaning for a while: "Your Majesty is gone, where has he gone? His body is not ......" halfway through his words. Kaede suddenly stayed there. His Majesty is gone, leaving no heirs. The kingdom of Palantine, which has only been founded for ten years, has lost its last king, internal and external troubles, natural and man-made disasters, what should be done in the future, and who should bear it? Feng felt that his brain was blank, as if the sky was falling.
"That's why I'm here," Ling Yue said in a tone of great sadness, "We have lost Your Majesty. If we lose the Duke again, our country will really be finished!" he looked directly into Kaede's eyes, Kaede looked at him blankly, they had never felt so helpless, they needed each other so much, they longed to see the Duke more than ever, they stood on the edge of the cliff like this, but their hearts had already flown to the Duke's side.
"What are you going to do?" asked Kaede in a low voice.
"With Si'er. Go to the Duke. ”
"Then I, what can I do?" Feng looked at Ling Yue expectantly, how much he hoped that Ling Yue could let him go to the duke's side, but Ling Yue shook his head slowly: "You just need to take the army." This is the most important thing. Do your part for the Duke and the Kingdom at a critical moment, this is what you have to do. ”
Kaede was silent for a long time. A sigh: "I see." Then he asked, "Where are you going to find the duke?"
"The Blue Dragon has sent a letter asking me to join the Duke on the border of the Swamp of Sorrow and the Dragon's Wasteland. ”
Kaede nodded with a little relief: "That's good." With you and Qinglong by the duke's side, there is no need to worry. ”
Ling Yue immediately denied his claim: "No. Qinglong is not by the Duke's side!"
"What?" Kaede's eyes widened in surprise, thinking he had misheard.
Ling Yue said affirmatively: "Qinglong's letter said that he has important things to do with Xin'er, and he will go to the place I just mentioned to meet me and the duke. ”
"Now that their eyebrows are burning, what important things can he and Xin'er do that girl more important than what the Duke and us do?" The young and vigorous Feng Ling couldn't suppress the impulse in her heart, and blurted out irritably, her voice alarmed the others, everyone looked at them together, Feng noticed Ling Yue's reproachful eyes, and she knew that she had lost her words and regretted it. But it was too late, Si'er heard her sister's name, she anxiously struggled to look at Lingyue, and asked urgently, "What's wrong with Xin'er?"
Ling Yue glared at Feng, walked past him, knelt down beside Si'er, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, she is with Qinglong, I received a letter from them, Qinglong said that they have important things to do." Saying that, he took out Qinglong's letter from his arms and handed it to Si'er, Si'er saw Qinglong's handwriting for the first time, she carefully looked at this short letter word by word, and it couldn't even be called a letter, every elegant and fancy text was like a concern in her heart, especially when she saw her sister's name, Si'er couldn't help but burst into tears, she felt as if she saw her sister's smiling face like a flower, and heard her silver laughter.
"Where are they?" Si'er looked at Lingyue anxiously, but the answer disappointed her: "I don't know, Qinglong only sent someone to deliver this note, and the person who sent the letter said that he was a member of the Ranger Alliance, and it was given to him by Qinglong in Del City, and he was still carrying a young girl by his side at that time. As for where they went, no one knows. Lingyue carefully told Si'er the information she knew, for fear that any word would hurt Si'er's heart that was extremely fragile because of love and longing.
"Sister......" Si'er lowered her head worriedly, frowning, Ling Yue couldn't bear it when she saw this, and persuaded: "Don't worry, for Qinglong, even if we don't understand, don't you understand?" He is the kind of person who would rather suffer himself than let the girl be wronged, Xin'er will not have a problem by his side." He said he would meet us at the junction of the Swamp of Sorrow and the Dragon's Wasteland, and he would definitely go. I'm sure you'll be able to meet Xin'er soon. ”
Listening to Ling Yue's words, Si'er's brows stretched a little, but there was anxiety in her eyes, and she couldn't wait to rush to the place where Ling Yue said to meet her sister.
"How's your body?"
Si'er tried, and with the support of Yueying and Lingyue, she slowly stood up, barely walking a few steps, and her legs were still very weak. Ling Yue walked up to her confidently and said with a smile: "Look at me, close your eyes." Si'er closed her eyes obediently. She couldn't see it, but she could hear Ling Yue's loud chants. Gradually, she felt strength in her limbs and her body became lighter. The breathing became more and more even, the mind was unusually clear, and the whole person seemed to be reborn, becoming energetic and energetic.
"It's time to open your eyes. ”
Si'er opened her eyes and blinked Lingxiu's eyes, her abundant energy made her eyes shine, her ruddy and full face bloomed with an inspiring brilliance, and she moved lightly. He tried to walk on his own, but found that his steps were light and powerful, not at all like a person who had just been pulled back from the line of death.
"Thank you......" Si'er looked at Lingyue in surprise and admiration, and Lingyue smiled with satisfaction.
"Then let's go, the Dragon Wasteland is ahead, let's give it a go for the sake of our homeland!" Ling Yue loudly encouraged everyone, his words immediately received a unanimous warm response, Si'er and Yueying hugged warmly. Bid farewell to everyone with Lingyue and went down the mountain side by side.
"Your Excellency Winmill, what are you going to do in the future?" asked Maple in a soft voice as she looked at Lingyue and Si'er's backs.
"Karl Ivan's fate is unknown. The Wyverns need to be re-domesticated and rested, and the knights need to rest, so I'll stay here with Yueying. While preparing for the final battle, search for Karl Ivan's traces. If his body can be found. Then we can say we're done!" replied Billy Winmill with triumph.
"Well, then I wish you success. I'm going back to the army, contacting the leaders of the various tribes, arranging a blockade of the Dragonwastes border, preventing Karivan's army from sneaking through, and preparing for the final battle. He turned to Billy Winmill and held out his right hand, "We'll see you in the Dragon's Wasteland!"
Billy Winmir held his hand, shook it vigorously, and said with a smile: "There will be a period later!" Feng turned to Yueying: "Your Royal Highness Princess, there will be a period later!" Yueying nodded approvingly, and replied with a smile: "There will be a period later! Take care!"
"Take care, everyone!" said Kaede, and went down the mountain with the knights brought by Ling Yue.
"What are you thinking?" asked Yueying, looking back at the thoughtful Billy Winmill, curiously. Billy Winmir sighed softly: "You also heard what Lingyue said just now, Qinglong took Xin'er and said that he was going to do an important thing, to be honest, I agree with Feng's words, at this time, what can be more important than seizing the magic stone?"
"Do you suspect that Qinglong has any ...... to Xin'er" Yueying looked at Billy Winmir in disbelief, he shook his head, "I don't know, I believe Qinglong is not that kind of person." With Qinglong's chic and casual personality, if he really fell in love with Xin'er's girl, he would not be so secretive and sneaky. I'm just worried......" Billy Winmill hesitated, then stopped.
"You say, it's okay. Yue Ying looked around, the Wyvern Knights had just carried the dead Shadow Knight down the mountain, and there was no one around. Billy Winmir was sure that no one would hear him, so he leaned over and whispered his worries to Yueying: "Actually, what I'm most worried about is whether Qinglong will turn Xin'er into a weight to take revenge on her sister......
"Huh?" Yue Ying exclaimed, Billy Winmill hurriedly covered her mouth, the two of them looked around as if they had done something wrong, and made sure that there was no one, Billy Winmir removed his hand and said in a low voice: "Don't scream, I'm just guessing, we all know that the love of the elves for their friends can remain unchanged for a lifetime, and the hatred for the enemy will be remembered for a lifetime, and the elves themselves are a very vindictive race." I'm only worried about whether Qinglong's heart can let go of the entanglement between him and Si'er. After all, it wasn't his hatred alone, it involved the elders who raised him since childhood, the innocent villagers of the village, and the countless elven warriors who fought bravely and skillfully and were like his brothers, as well as the first emotion of his life. The unforgettable pain and remorse of those ten years must have torn his heart apart, and the feeling of being deceived and losing his loved ones is definitely not something that can be easily forgotten!"
"Moreover, he knows that Xin'er has always been Si'er's heart, so he wants Si'er to taste it too......" Yueying's voice gradually lowered, and even she couldn't hear herself.
There was silence, and the atmosphere was suffocating.
"Captain!"
A sudden shout woke the two of them out of their worries, and a dragon knight hurried over with a dusty black-robed man, who walked up to Billy Winmir and showed him a strangely shaped badge identifying himself as the Ranger Alliance Courier.
"Your Excellency Dragon Python, I have been sent by the Alliance Master to convey her instructions to you. With the grim voice of the messenger giving goosebumps, a parchment envelope stamped with a red stamp was handed to Billy Winmill...... (To be continued......)
