Struggling to survive in the hands of the male protagonist who also wears books

Some time earlier.

In the crown prince's courtyard, Gero was wrestling with the tender electric cat.

He completely ignored the huge difference between the size of a human being and a cat cub, patted the cub cat's soft paw on the ground, and said happily, "Haha, I won!"

The cat's purple eyes were wide open, and he looked at him with a look of "Are all human beings mentally retarded?"

Jie Luo was very happy to win the cat, he held the cat by the back of the neck and put it in his arms. Yi’s superhero, there is nothing to blame for losing to me! Hey, you still dare to shock me, why, are you still not convinced?”

Cat Cub: "..."

"It seems that I need to train you more in the future, at least you must be able to emit an electric current as thick as a house?" Jie Luo murmured unknowingly while staring at the sky in a trance. , "... I don't know what happened to my mother..."

After a while, the kitty almost fell asleep in his arms, and Jie Luo came back to his senses and frowned: "This Alan, why hasn't he come back now, he probably wants to abandon My poor wife, did I run away with some noble lady?"

As he was talking, Jie Luo had a sudden whim, grabbed the kitten, and smiled: "Baby, let's go, let's go find your mother!"

Sleepy cat cub: "..."

Why is this human being so mentally retarded? It misses its previous master so much.

Alan, who was being talked about by Gero, didn't have time to think about his little friend. He was hiding in a strange courtyard with a dignified face and cautiously, with his right hand on the hilt of his sword so that he could draw his sword at any time.

Just now he received an urgent message from the subordinate in charge of inquiring about information, saying that Mrs. Brunei, who had left the imperial capital, suddenly appeared in this courtyard, and she also brought a comatose girl with her. The subordinate judged from the details, that The girl is probably Princess Freya!

Mrs. Brunei kidnapped Princess Freya? !

At this critical moment when His Majesty is critically ill and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet returned to China, what does Mrs. Brunei want to do to kidnap His Highness's most beloved sister?

Alan hurriedly left a message for Crete, and sneaked into this strange courtyard according to the information he received.

After entering the courtyard, Alan felt that something was wrong—the patrols in this courtyard were very regular, and the guards were also very professional and tough. The uniform pace during the changing of the guard fully explained their origins.

army!

Is there a traitor out of the military?

Alan was thinking nervously, but he didn't stop his hands and feet. He found an opportunity to rush into a small door in the building wall from the back garden where he was hiding, and then knocked out an unlucky servant who came over, and changed into his servant costume .

If Mrs. Brunei really kidnapped Princess Freya, she must be using it to threaten His Highness the Crown Prince, and she should know Princess Freya's physical condition, so she would not be locked up in a place like the underground, otherwise Fu Princess Leia is really dead, but His Highness has nothing to worry about.

The most likely possibility is that the princess was imprisoned in a high-rise bedroom!

Alan was preoccupied, and kept an eye on the movements of the servants in the corridor while advancing silently, and finally settled on a door on the fifth floor.

Outside this door stood several tall and round maids, with expressionless faces and indifferent eyes. Based on Alan's experience, she could tell that they were quite powerful female warriors.

Not wanting to startle the enemy, Alan pondered for a moment, went around to the empty room next door, and jumped from the window sill to the window sill of the room where Princess Freya was suspected to be under house arrest.

I listened on the window sill, but didn't hear any voice in the room. Alan pushed open the window and jumped in cautiously. After looking around, he found that there was no one in the room.

Alan's eyes were fixed, and he murmured in his heart that he was not good, and turned his head in a hurry to jump out of the window sill again——

The moment he turned around, he suddenly felt a numbness in his waist and then a coldness. The strength in his whole body seemed to flow out of a gap, and he fell to the ground with a slap.

What, what's going on...

Yalan felt as if some warm liquid had started to accumulate under his body, his vitality was dissipating rapidly, and his brain began to become confused...

Is it difficult?

There seemed to be bursts of thunder in my ears, and my consciousness was slowly falling into darkness...

Before falling into the deep darkness, he struggled to open his eyes, only to see the thunder and lightning around him, and amidst the dazzling lightning, he seemed to see a pair of eyes as bright as top-quality purple gemstones...

…………

Crete followed the maid hurriedly into King Leif II's bedroom, and just as he entered, he heard his own system 0378 reminding him: "Attention, the Countess of Brunei is hiding behind the curtain."

Crete's eyes were fixed, he didn't say anything, and he didn't look in the direction of the curtains, but just strode towards the luxurious big bed in the center of the room.

Beside the bedside maid, there were two people familiar to Crete—his half-brother Danyate and his sister Freya.

Both of them looked rather haggard, and there were still tears on Freya's pale face.When they saw Crete coming in, Qiqi's eyes lit up, and they stood up as if they had found the backbone, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Big brother!"

"Brother Crete!"

Seeing his younger siblings, Crete also had warm eyes, raised his hand to signal the two of them to sit down, approached the bed, and looked at Leif II who was lying on the bed.

Leif II is no longer as strong as before Crete left. He has lost a lot of weight, his face is paler than that of Freya next to him, his eyes are closed and his breathing is weak. If his chest is not still rising and falling, Crete even thought he was facing a corpse.

Crete asked with an ugly face, "What's the matter with father?"

"We don't know either. According to the maid, there was a scream in my father's bedroom a few nights ago. After the guards rushed in, my father was already like this." Explained the cause of the matter.

"What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor didn't see the problem, and only said that my father's vitality was constantly declining, as if something was absorbing his life."

Freya added: "Brother Danyate has invited several doctors in the past few days, and even asked a high-level magician from the Magician Association to look at them, but they are all at a loss - now they can only feed my father a little bit of vitality every day Only the potion used to barely hang my father's life..."

Crete knew that potion. When they went to the Evernight Tundra, they used that potion in order to resist the danger of the Evernight Tundra absorbing life force, and the price was very expensive.

Crete sat by the bed, stretched out his hand to hold Leif II's bruised hand, and asked in his heart: "System, help me detect my father's physical condition."

The system quickly gave feedback: "There is a black shadow in Leif II's heart, which is constantly absorbing his vitality. The specifics are unknown—the human body's ability to isolate me from my exploration is very strong."

Crete bit his lower lip: "Is there a solution?"

"Judging from the host's points, no."

Crete cursed in a low voice, forced himself to calm down, and said, "I'm going to ask the president of the Magician's Association to come and see what's wrong with my father; Danyate, block the news You did a good job, stay by your father’s side to take care of him, and don’t let anyone get close; Freya goes back to rest first, if your father recovers but you fall ill, what do you ask your father to do?”

Danyate and Freya agreed together.

"But before that..." Crete's cold eyes swept over Danyate's face before focusing on the curtains, "Mrs. Brunei, why did you appear in father's bedroom?"

"Hehehe...His Royal Highness is really careful, you must have noticed me when you came in?" The curtain was gently lifted, and Mrs. Brunei in a plain white dress came out gracefully, facing the Cretan Yasheng. Unafraid of the coercion at the top level, he smiled slightly, "Of course I came to see the show."

Crete waved his hand to signal Danyate and Freya to step back, and narrowed his eyes: "Ma'am, you are really interested in going to the palace to watch a play?"

Mrs. Brunei lightly pulled the loose hair from her temples, and she smiled on her glamorous face, who looked only about 30 years old: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is plotting to usurp the throne, and even assassinated his own father - such a good show is not worth it." Do you want to see it?"

Hearing this, Crete became vigilant, moved his body, and dodged to the side—and the moment he dodged, a knife stabbed viciously at the position where he was standing just now!

Freya screamed in horror: "Brother Danyate?! What are you doing!"

Crete turned his head, and Danyate, who was panicked just now, had a sluggish face and dull eyes, as if he had lost his mind, he swung a knife and rushed towards him.

Danyate's strength is not yet high-level, and Crete told him that he would not be defeated by him with one hand. He just turned around a little bit and tapped Danyate's wrist, and Danyate's wrist loosened, and the knife It fell to the ground with a "clang".

Crete suppressed Danyat, and said coldly to Mrs. Brunei: "I can't imagine that the extremely weak Mrs. Brunei is good at spiritual magic? However, although spiritual magic is troublesome, it is easy to remove - kill the caster That's it!"

Mrs. Brunei smiled slightly: "Really?"

Before the words fell, Crete felt a cold and evil touch coming from Danyate, who was constantly struggling, directly pouring into his flesh and blood, making his body instantly stiff as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

That's not to mention, just when he was about to let go of Danyate, a more evil and dark force suddenly struck from behind, and stabbed him in the back with a "poof"!

Crete turned his head in disbelief, just in time to meet Leif II's blood-red eyes.

Leif II has completely changed his appearance, his hair has become pitch black, his eyes have become blood red, his skin has become pale, a faint black energy lingers all over his body, his face is ferocious, and his whole body is like a monster, exuding an evil aura!

Crete had read this scene in the outline of the original book, and it only appeared on one person.

After the fall, the black phoenix Philip I has black hair and blood pupils in appearance!

How can it be? !

Leif II seemed to have completely turned into a wild beast that lost his mind. His hands were like knives piercing Crete's back and pulling, his throat made a "clucking" sound, and there was only hatred in his blood-red eyes.

And the black energy on his body quickly poured into Crete's wound as he moved, and Crete's body gradually became pale from that wound, and his blood also turned dark.

Critter had no time to think about it, and was about to shake Leif II and Danyate away with gritted teeth, when he suddenly felt a more majestic and powerful aura attacking him, freezing him in place and being forced to bear it. With the erosion of black air.

Holy, holy pressure?

Crete, who struggled hard but couldn't get away, looked at Mrs. Brunei in shock.

"His Highness Crete is so arrogant." Mrs. Brunei walked over gracefully, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, still speaking in such a gentle way, "Do you think Yasheng can be unscrupulous? I dare to attack you, of course I have the hole cards that can crush you."

No, impossible...

Crete felt that the black energy from Leif II's body poured into his body faster and faster, as if the screams of countless dying people sounded in his ears, and his consciousness began to gradually blur... He forced himself to remain calm, The heart calls out to its own system:

"System, use..."

"The host's soul is in danger of being corroded, and the basic soul defense mechanism is about to be broken through." Before finishing speaking, a system voice sounded in Crete's mind, with a hint of annoyance, "Exchange the soul defense wall... Damn, my firewall When will it close? Forget it, it’s too late..."

The voice of the system continued without a trace of hesitation: "Turn off the system's personality calculation module, automatic monitoring module, and identity detection module...only keep the basic functions, and do our best to defend against soul erosion."

"Wait, you..."

"I'm going to sleep, the host can wake me up after the crisis of soul erosion is resolved... Host, take care."

Kriter was silent after hearing the system say this sentence, no matter how much he called, there was no response.

It's useless to regret now!He gritted his teeth and refocused on the matter in front of him.

The hard work of the system cannot be wasted.

The black energy on Leif II finally poured into Crete's body, and with the disappearance of the last trace of black energy on his body, his hair, pupils and skin color all returned to their original appearance, but his eyes remained dull Just stand there.

Mrs. Brunei let go of Crete's suppression, and looked in amazement at Crete's mixed red, gold, and black hair colors and blood-red and azure blue pained eyes, and said in amazement: "His Royal Highness Is your mind so tenacious that you still refuse to give in completely? Anyway, the end result is the same, so why not give up earlier and be more comfortable?"

Crete closed his eyes, bit the tip of his tongue hard, used the pain to keep himself awake, raised a half-black and half-red phoenix flame towards Mrs. Brunei, and turned around and smashed through the window without hesitation. , Stumbled and escaped.

Mrs. Brunei lightly waved her hand to disperse the flames, and she didn't go after Crete, she just smiled slightly and said, "So what can I do if I escape? It's just a small moment of stubborn resistance... Forget it." It’s not bad to leave it to her to play.”

She turned her head, looked at Leif II and Prince Danyate, who were in the already messy room, and Princess Freya, who had fainted on the ground as early as the first wave of attacks, and then looked at Danya Te smiled lightly:

"Crown Prince Crete was demonized. After assassinating His Majesty Leif II, he was smashed by His Royal Highness Dan Yat, and fled in fear of crime. Unfortunately, His Majesty died, right?"

Danyate nodded sluggishly, a gleaming silver gun appeared in his hand, and stabbed the same sluggish Leif II in the chest without hesitation.
