Chapter 35: The Crown(2/3)
The King of Sand ordered a dozen personal guards to enter the royal palace and follow him to the more spacious training hall. This meant that his strength had improved and he was to be surrounded and killed by these personal guards to test the improvement in strength.
An hour later, when the guard captain Sowa and Caesar pushed open the door of the training hall, they saw that the ground was covered with gravel and empty armor, or weapons with traces of defects scattered on the ground.
Seeing this scene, the guard captain Sowa's heart froze, but he knelt down on one knee with a calm expression and said: "King, we have brought them."
"very good."
The King of Sand opened his dark eyes and looked at Caesar, who had a somewhat treacherous and vulgar temperament. For some reason, compared to the last time they met, this time he felt that Caesar was more pleasing to his eyes, especially when he thought of the soul crown that the other party brought him.
He was more pleased with Caesar.
"You are very good. From now on, you will assume the position of Zuoyu."
The King of Sand immediately promoted Caesar from quartermaster to minister of the imperial court.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Caesar smiled happily. The left minister of the desert country is in charge of finance, which is much better than the position of quartermaster.
"As for you, Sova."
The King of Sand looked at the personal guard captain Sowa, his gaze was like looking at a delicacy that had the effect of nourishing the whole body. The personal guard captain Sowa could hardly hold back the trembling of his legs.
"Don't let me down."
The King of Sand spoke meaningfully to the guard captain Sowa. Obviously, he was not planning to kill the guard captain, but was keeping him for the time being.
"Yes, yes, I will swear allegiance to the king to the death."
"Well, your family has been moved to a mansion in the back city area, where the living conditions are better."
Hearing this, the head of the guard captain Sowa almost exploded. His plan was to leave the palace this time and take his parents, wife, and a pair of children to escape from the desert country. At the moment, he did not dare to
After escaping, he was really not afraid of death, but he was extremely afraid of the misfortune that would happen to his family.
"Thank you King for your kindness."
Guard Captain Sowa changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees, with his forehead pressed against the ground.
"Hahaha, hahahaha!"
The Sand King laughed uncharacteristically, and his long hair was crawling on the throne as if it were alive.
'Mad King!'
The guard captain Sowa, who was kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth and thought of this word in his heart. At this time, using the word "Mad King" to describe the King of Sand is simply the most appropriate word.
"King, I know a few talents who are good at treasure hunting, and I want to recruit them."
Caesar smiled and rubbed his hands and spoke. After hearing this, the King of Sand was very interested. Caesar introduced these talents in detail and suddenly said at the end:
"By the way, look at my memory, I also have a healing talent, and I would like to introduce him to you."
"It's up to you."
The King of Sand spoke without raising his eyes. Caesar nodded repeatedly to thank the King of Sand for his trust. In fact, the talent in treasure hunting was just used to attract attention. The real purpose was the last sentence, to introduce a therapeutic talent.
While Caesar was talking to the King of Sand, in a farm manor more than ten kilometers away, a variety of freshly cooked food was placed on the banquet hall table, including Del Rey, Silver Noodles, Veronica, and the Red-Eyed Girl.
The four of them were enjoying their meal. Even the girl with red eyes, who always cared about etiquette and maintained a ladylike temperament, chewed extremely fast. Veronica, who was full of energy, had already taken advantage of it, and she was going crazy with hunger.
According to the coordinates received by Yin Mian, they came all the way from the North. Not to mention the lack of people on the road, they didn't even see a few animals. In addition, the high physical exertion of traveling at full speed made Veronica starve to this point.
"Look, you're hungry. Eat slowly. Also, where is the Beast Knight?"
When Baha opened his mouth, Veronica, who was holding a leg of lamb, looked at it suspiciously and asked: "What Beast Knight?"
Hearing this, Baja was confused, but he waved his wings and let Veronica continue to cook.
Su Xiao broke away from the meditative state and opened his eyes. He naturally heard the conversation just now, especially the sentence "What Beast Knight" said by Veronica, which was really suspicious.
At the moment, Bishop Platinum and the High Priest are away to investigate the situation at the Holy Sand Castle, while the Ghost Prophet seems to have heard nothing.
What's really puzzling is that after Veronica said "What Beast Rider", Dre and Silverface around the table all cast doubtful glances, as if they didn't know why Baha said Beast Rider. They were
I have never heard of this person before.
The red-eyed girl was equally confused. It felt like she didn't remember there ever being a Beast Rider.
The current situation is not that the Beast Knight was killed by the enemy, or something else, but that except for Su Xiao, Bubo Wang, Amu, and Baha, no one else remembers the existence of the Beast Knight at all.
Su Xiao thought that this should be a follow-up to the "Fire Land" mission, because he passed the Sun Trial, arrived at the Sun Temple, and saw the stone tablet, which led to this situation.
Su Xiao determined this because of the recording function of the shelter. When he and Psalm went deep into the Land of Fire and spent a day in the shelter, scorpions came outside and laid eggs outside the shelter.
A sun knight wearing heavy armor used his scepter to smash all the scorpion eggs climbing outside the shelter, and made a gesture of praising the sun before leaving. The tall figure in armor really looked like a beast knight.
Now the Beast Knight suddenly disappeared. Su Xiao couldn't figure out the specific reason. He didn't skip too many links in the mission related to the Land of Fire. He didn't accept the mission at all. The key item of the mission was the Temple Key.
They are all replaced by direct kicks.
Why didn't anyone else here remember the Beast Knight? Su Xiao himself, Bubo Wang, Ammu, and Baha all remembered it. Su Xiao was sure that this was because of the notarization of the Reincarnation Paradise, the kind of power level that made everyone forget about the Beast Knight.
It was very high, but not as high as the Notarization of Samsara Paradise, and there was also the Hymn notarized by Paradise. She had never acted with the team before, and she had never been impressed by the Beast Knight.
After weighing the pros and cons, Su Xiao decided not to meddle in other people's business. As long as he could be sure that Bishop Platinum was a credible collaborator, that would be enough. Don't delve into other aspects. Everyone has secrets. Keep getting to the bottom of it. The most likely possibility is that
break.
Su Xiao came to a conclusion in her mind, while Psalm who was sitting next to him was a little panicked because she had just received several reminders suddenly.
[Tip: You have joined the desert country camp.]
【You have been promoted to the healer of the Sand King.】
[Because the Alliance and the Desert Country are semi-hostile camps, you cannot be in both camps at the same time. You have been forced to withdraw from the Alliance camp and become a camp traitor. 】
[Warning: The enemy unit within 10 meters of you, Cuculin White Night, is the director of the Dusk Asylum of the Alliance (high-level alliance). This unit is highly hostile to you. After it is destroyed, you can gain a huge amount of camp reputation. 】
…
Seeing these reminders, Psalm's eyes became more solemn. If she had other abilities, she could also sneak into the enemy and inflict heavy damage to the enemy at the critical moment. The problem is that she had just been promoted to the ninth level and her combat abilities were not up yet, so she could only heal.
Her system ability has reached the mid-to-upper level of the ninth level, allowing her to sneak behind enemy lines as a nanny. No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem to be part of the plan.
If it wasn't part of the plan, Psalm thought that she might have fallen into the enemy's trap, and it seemed that she couldn't defeat the hunter who was currently in the same room.
"Bai Ye, tell me, what if there is a traitor among us?"
"Kill him."
"What if that person becomes a traitor for no apparent reason?"
As the hymn was being spoken, his expression was already a bit exciting.
"..."
Su Xiao turned her head and looked at Psalm sitting next to her. After a moment of silence, she said, "Has Caesar allowed you to successfully join the desert country camp?"
"You...arranged it?"
"right."
"I'm a healer, why would I join the enemy's camp?!"
"When I fought to the death with the Sand King, you helped him heal."
"ah?!"
Psalm was confused, very confused. She tasted this sentence carefully, and after confirming that she heard it correctly, she looked at Su Xiao in confusion.
"You will know then that you are the protagonist of that deadly battle."
Baha spoke somewhat mysteriously, which made Psalm even more confused. At this moment, the ghost prophet who was lying on the bench and taking a nap sat up. He sat there and stared blankly ahead.
At the same time, on the top floor of the Holy Sand Castle, the King of Sand stood in front of an altar. On this altar was a trough bed that looked a bit like a coffin. Inside lay a desert beauty, but she was sleeping. This was the sand king.
The king's concubine, a powerful fortune teller.
The King of Sand cut his palm open and pressed the crystal ball on the front of the bed with his bleeding hand. For a moment, the light shone brightly. The beauty in the bed trembled slightly, and opened her eyes after a few seconds.
"I'm in some trouble and I need you to divine for me."
The King of Sand helped the princess sit up on the bed. When the princess got over the confusion of just waking up, she immediately noticed the great changes in the King of Sand and the crown on his head.
At the same time, on the outskirts of Fengshui City, in the farm manor.
The ghost prophet, who had been sitting on the bench for a moment, said: "Mie Fa, promise me again, you will kill the King of Sand."
"Either I die or he dies."
Su Xiao spoke in a calm tone. He did not make any strong promises, and his tone was even a bit bland. On the contrary, this plain tone made the ghost prophet feel credible. He had seen too many promises, and even made poisonous oaths, but in the end nothing happened.
people.
"Well, you are responsible for killing the Sand King, and I am responsible for getting rid of the strongest fortune teller in the world."
The ghost prophet spread his hand, space fluctuations appeared, and a ten centimeter-high crystal bottle fell down into his hand. This was a bottle of abyssal energy that was so rich that it appeared to be liquid.
The ghost prophet uncorked the bottle, raised his head and drank the liquid abyss energy in the bottle. Knowing that he didn't have much time, he immediately tore off his beard and pulled out a strand of hair. This is the desert country.
The princess's hair.
"King of Sand, this is exactly like when you took my wife away."
