Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

"Not long after you left, when I touched it, it turned into a desert, like desertification." Zhou Lingke's face was cloudy, and Xia En's face was not much better than his.

"It seems that those legends are not necessarily fictional." The two were relatively silent for a long time, and Xia En finally squeezed out a word.

"What legend?"

"After the gods or demons die, they turn into vegetation, mountains, rivers, or magic tools." This was actually Xia En's half-joking, to ease the atmosphere.Having said that, he raised his head and saw Zhou Lingke's shoulder. Xia En grabbed it twice in excitement just now, tearing away the skin and flesh of his shoulder, but now he can see that although the clothes on Zhou Lingke's shoulder are tattered, they still have There was blood, but the underlying skin was intact.

Zhou Lingke raised his eyebrows, and sure enough his face was not so weird anymore, he glanced at the gemstone again, with an expression of enlightenment on his face: "Don't tell me I haven't noticed yet, there is a magic reaction in these things, just like magic crystals... "

Xia En quickly grabbed the gemstones on the blanket and put them in Zhou Lingke's hands: "Put them away, put them all away! It would be bad if these things were seen by others. I'm not like you, who were also treated as a magic crystal mine and tied up for bloodletting." Cut the flesh."

The two put away the gems as quickly as possible, afraid of missing anything, they simply lay down on the ground and touched them with their hands. Zhou Lingke also put away the whole blood-stained blanket and stuffed it into the storage ring.

"Excuse me, how is Master Nick?" The two were still groping on the ground, when someone outside the tent suddenly asked.

Shane made a you continue gesture and went out by himself.Now that Zhou Lingke is fine, Xia En slowly regained his composure, and the scales on his body gradually faded.

The person standing outside is a royal servant, and as a guard who has been working for more than three years, Xia En knows this person—his name is Katri, and he is the favorite of the queen mother, or the kind of favorite with a little color. Chen, has the same meaning as Lai Ai.Although he was wearing the uniform of a royal servant, the material was obviously different from other servants.Looking at his appearance alone, this is a very handsome man, but his movement of covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief from time to time is too feminine. When he laughs, I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect. Xia En always feels a little gloomy Mori's.

No matter in terms of position or title, Sean should be on the higher side.But when he came out, he saw that it was Katri, who was the one who saluted first.Ka Cui also stood with a smile, without any dodging movements, and his expression was very calm and natural, obviously he was used to it.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother and Your Majesty the King, I want to see Master Nick." Before Xia En could answer his question just now, Katri had directly explained his reason for coming.His voice was soft and sweet, but it couldn't hide the fact that he spoke in an unmistakably commanding tone.

"I'm going to call Master Nick right now." Sean saluted and lifted the curtain and returned to the tent, but when he turned around, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Katri frowned and his face turned dark.Xia En thought to himself: I've been careful enough in what I said, why did I still offend him?After entering the tent, Xia En realized why the man's expression changed, because he just left Katri himself outside the tent.Although Xia En himself didn't mean to "hang out", this Katri was obviously not a broad-minded person.Especially as Kacui, who has gained glory and wealth by using nepotism, but is still a servant in essence, his self-esteem should have been distorted.

Although I didn't want to offend him, but I did offend him unintentionally, and Xia En wasn't afraid.There is no energy to mend his fragile heart now, frowning, Xia En put this person aside.But when he looked inside the tent again, Xia En's scalp exploded!

Zhou Lingke was sitting on the ground, covered with blood and dust, and sweat streaming down his forehead, making his face black, white, and red. His expression was stiff and numb now, so he walked out like this. If it is dark outside and you meet a timid person, you will be scared to death directly.And the direct reason for him to be in such a daze is now the finger blade that he is always touching in his hand.When the doctor ran out in fright, he threw away the finger blade. Zhou Lingke found it under the small cabinet in the tent. When he first touched it, he cut his hand. At first, Zhou Lingke just looked familiar. After recognizing what it was, he sat quite still, the same way Sean saw it when he came in.

"..." It's actually a very small matter, isn't it because the situation was so urgent that I pulled out my nails?But as a guard, he has daggers in his waist and boots, which can be taken out at hand. Why didn't he use ready-made weapons at that time, so he had to "raise it himself"?Thinking about it rationally, Xia En felt that he was either self-harming himself, or his head was completely unable to turn around. The doctor needed a sharp weapon, and he just had it... Xia En felt that he could argue with Zhou Lingke very confidently: You were dead at the time Alright, think in another way, how rational do you think I am?But he just couldn't speak, and even felt guilty, so he couldn't help but took a step back, and his back was against the tent.

But who knew that Zhou Lingke didn't argue with him. When he found that Xia En came in, he just stared at Xia En in a daze.After a while, there was a cough from outside, it was Katri who was impatient to wait.Zhou Lingke stood up suddenly, Xia En would not admit that Zhou Lingke's action made his heart skip a beat, and he was so scared.

"Let's go." But Zhou Lingke didn't say anything, just put the finger blade into the ring, and then tried his best to straighten his tattered clothes.

"Meow~" Pie, who had been huddled in the corner, came over.Zhou Lingke, who had already raised his legs to go out with Xia En, felt some thoughts passing through his mind at this moment, so some actions were done naturally, without going through the brain at all.When he came to his senses, he realized that he had already held up a transparent gem the size of a hazelnut and handed it to Pie's mouth.After reacting, Zhou Lingke immediately wanted to withdraw his hand, but Pie had already stuck out his tongue and licked it...

Pie has a barb on his tongue. When he was a kitten, he licked Zhou Lingke and Xia En with his tongue. Those two people only felt itchy, but they grew three to four times in an instant. Now his tongue licks Zhou Lingke's fingers, giving him the feeling It just hurts.And as soon as it passed its tongue, the gem disappeared.

"You..." Xia En didn't know why he did that, and he didn't know what to say.Because this can be regarded as feeding pets with one's own flesh and blood, right?It was a little scary.

"These gemstones are already aggregates of energy and cannot be regarded as a part of me." Zhou Lingke explained in this way, but he himself felt that it was just a momentary self-security, but at this time it was passed from the pie. It's similar to the feeling of "I still want to do it."Zhou Lingke, who had just uttered big words, immediately shivered, patted his right hand twice with his left hand, and cursed secretly twice that he owed his hand.

Seeing him like that, Xia En understood that he himself was disgusting as hell now, so he couldn't help comforting him: "Actually, that can be regarded as finding a way out for those gems."

"Let's talk about it when we come back. Let's go first." Zhou Lingke shook his head. These things still need to be discussed slowly when they are free. Now is really not a good time.Before leaving, Zhou Lingke patted Pie on the head and made him wait in the tent.With a sound of "meow~", Pie grabbed Zhou Lingke's legs and obediently got down on the spot.

The two walked out of the tent, and Ka Cui, who was waiting outside, immediately saluted Zhou Lingke graciously: "Master Nick, please follow me." Yin's smile now only remains gentle and sunny.Xia En, who was watching, couldn't help being taken aback, secretly thinking that this kind of person can't look down on him, and ordinary people can't imitate him like this.

Following Katri, they walked towards the center of the entire tent area.You can still smell blood outside, but you can see that the surroundings have been cleaned up, and most people have recovered their composure.It's just that Xia En and Zhou Lingke are a little strange. It stands to reason that such a big accident happened first, and then a strange doctor appeared. This hunting must end without an explanation, right?Why does it seem that there is no one packing luggage here?Are they not ready to leave, but to continue?

Questions are questions, and the two of them didn't ask Katri anything along the way.When we arrived at the Wang Tent, we found that this place had been surrounded by three layers of guards, but before that, Xia En was on duty outside, and Zhou Lingke's title of court teacher also made him unqualified to come here. Come on, neither of them knew whether these guards were added later, or if this was the original specification.

On the way, someone stopped Xia En. Before today, if someone stopped him, he stopped him, and the two of them split up. Anyway, this is the rule.But today, both Xia En and Zhou Lingke are a little "off".

"He can't go in, I'll go back too." Zhou Lingke stood there with his hips akimbo.

Xia En was originally the more rational one, so there was no need to violate the original rules because of this matter, anyway, if they just left for a while, wouldn't they be unable to see each other?But it turns out that sometimes they just leave for a while, and they may never see each other in this life.So he didn't object to Zhou Lingke's proposal, and stood there without moving. Although he didn't speak, he basically showed with actions that he would not be separated from Zhou Lingke.

"Master Nick, he has not been summoned." Ka Cui's complexion became even worse, but when facing Zhou Lingke, all he could see from his face was embarrassment and grievance, and there was no such kind of resentment. "Please don't embarrass me. When the summons is over and you come out, you can see him soon."

Zhou Lingke glanced at him, took Xia En's hand, and turned to leave.

"Wait! Wait!" Ka Cui chased after him and almost grabbed Zhou Lingke's sleeve. Let me know." Saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

Looking at his back, Xia En felt a little strange, moved his feet, turned his body slightly, and immediately found out where the strange thing was - he and Zhou Lingke were still holding hands.Standing beside them were two guards of the Guards, holding their spears, their bodies straight and their eyes fixed on each other.But Xia En just felt that the other party's eyes were looking at his and Zhou Lingke's hands, which was probably a kind of guilty conscience.But he didn't let go, instead he held Zhou Lingke's hand even tighter.

After a while, Katri ran back, showed a new warrant to the Guards, and led the two of them in together.This time, even if someone blocked him, he would let them go after reading the warrant.All the way to the king's tent, when it was about 30 meters away from the king's tent, they stopped for a short time. Ka Cui went to report, and came back and took them in.

The king's tent is very large, and it is also in the usual bold and heavy style. It is completely black from the side, but the silver dragon pattern is decorated on the corners-to be honest, apart from the different colors, it looks like the shape It's the big tent of the circus.But after entering, the layout inside is immediately different, completely luxurious.The whole ground is covered with pure white animal fur, or it used to be pure white, but now many places have been stepped on by countless footprints. There is a huge crystal chandelier hanging in the middle of the tent, and the light is shining on it. Lighted candles, but light stones.On the right is a long table with a white fine linen tablecloth. The edge of the tablecloth is covered with silver tassels. On it are various delicacies that exude fragrance. of a slice.In the middle of the tent is a red carpet, but there are no footprints on the red carpet.On the red carpet, there is a high platform with two steps, and the bottom should be padded with stones or wooden boards.On the high platform were three high-backed chairs covered in red velvet, with silver dragon patterns carved on the backs of the chairs.The chair in the middle is the smallest, sitting on Frank, with Queen Sofia on his left and Prince Zoe on his right.But King Frank's chair at the front is the smallest, and his chair is placed very far back, while the chairs of Prince Zoe and the Queen Mother are more forward, it seems that there is a king being flanked by two other people, or Said to be the feeling of being blocked.

In addition to the three royal families, there were many people in the tent, but apart from Zhou Lingke and Xia En, the youngest of those people seemed to be at least 50 or [-] years old.Except for the royal family, only Archbishop Candiboya, Master Polivi, and two or three other oldest people were sitting in the entire tent.

These people should be waiting for Zhou Lingke. When they came in, everyone looked over.Xia En let go of the hand he was holding with Zhou Lingke. Although he was a little reluctant, Zhou Lingke grabbed the hand he left and grabbed his fingers, but he also realized that his hand was still loose, so he gently pinched Xia En. Eun's finger, walking forward alone.

"Master Nick, what exactly is your alchemy potion?" Zhou Lingke had just taken two steps when Prince Zoe leaned forward and asked impatiently.

Based on the etiquette that Zhou Lingke learned here, he had to walk three steps away from the throne to salute to meet the standard, and he could only speak after saluting.According to the rules, no one else can speak until the king speaks.Prince Zoe's question put Zhou Lingke in a very awkward state.Did he go over and salute before answering, or did he salute and answer here?This was also the first time he had participated in such a gathering of important ministers. From this point of view, the situation of the Frankish king was even worse than he had originally guessed.
