Chapter 245 The Mark of the King
"So that's it. Is this the result of your final negotiation?" The Overlord stroked his chin, looked at Lu Xi and the others who came back with indescribable eyes, and murmured to himself: "Oh, I didn't expect that the Demon Dragon child was such a stingy guy. I really misread him."
Lu Xi kept staring at the hand of the Overlord, which was stroking the beard on his chin, and showed a smile. He was sure that when he first met yesterday, the hand was gone. As a result, less than 12 hours later, this guy was resurrected in a state of full blood, with a rosy complexion and full of energy. He didn't look like a disabled person who was missing his arms and legs yesterday.
Songgard, this is such a magical world!
"I didn't expect that the demon dragon Osha had such deep resentment towards the Nords. This was really troublesome." The female swordsman shrugged and smiled as if helpless.
"It's true. That guy seems to be better off staying in Songgard and being beaten up by you every day than giving up his 'duty'. If destruction and killing are a kind of responsibility, it sounds like you have a big bond with him." Lu Xi said.
"Even if there is Liangzi, it happened ten thousand years ago. Who still remembers?" The female swordsman shook her head helplessly: "I didn't expect that the dignified dragon clan would hold such a grudge."
"The average life expectancy is a race calculated in tens of thousands, so it is normal to hold grudges." Lu Xi spread his hands and said, "If it really doesn't work, keep it. Anyway, he is very competent in training this promising job?"
"We hope he stays. After all, it's a pity that such a fun toy is gone." The Overlord did not hide his regretful expression at all.
He just mentioned "toys"? He must have said "toys"?
"But, as I said before, living people cannot stay in the world of dead people for too long, otherwise the balance of all realms will be chaotic. This is the divine law set by the supreme founding will. In the past, those who occasionally entered Songgard would stay here for no more than ten days. It is a miracle that the demon dragon can exist here for twenty years. After all, this is still too much. A few days ago, Lord Freya came to Songgard in person and was discussing this matter with us..." The female swordsman said.
Of course, those who can be called "Grandman" by the female swordsman are not ordinary people. Freya has been the main god of the Asathians since the founding of the world. The left and right hands of the great God Atlas, and the supreme commander of Valkyris, and can be regarded as one of the most fierce women in the six realms between heaven and earth. Since even she has appeared, it means that this matter is indeed not guaranteed.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Lu Xi has come into contact with a true god so close.
"What is the result of the discussion? Is the strongest Valkyrie sister ready to take action personally and wipe out the poor demon dragon?"
"The Asa Gods who adhere to the principle of neutrality cannot come to the mortal world at will, nor can they directly attack mortals." The female swordsman showed a complicated expression, as if he was ridiculing, and as if he was sighing: "It has to be said that in front of high-level beings with divine nature, even the demon dragon is just an ordinary thing."
"...In other words, the leaders were dissatisfied with this matter, but they were unwilling to take care of it, so they had to throw it to you retired cadres. The old cadres were together, and we young people who occasionally got into trouble had to run away. Well, from this matter, I saw the reality again!"
"This is so ugly, although I have to admit it. It seems that this is the case." The female swordsman glanced at Lu Xi with some dissatisfaction, and finally patted his shoulder with an encouraging look. The bright eyes made Lu Xi feel sore and tight.
"Young people, don't be so dark in their minds. No matter what, this means that we have full trust in you! Even if you take a step back, you can regard this as a kind of practice! Between heaven and earth, one sword and one horse are practices, and one flower, one grass and one tree are also practices. Talking to deceive people is still practices. Only when you understand this can you have a true heart of a strong man!"
"It really makes me think of Zen, which is inconsistent with your Nords' racial talent of 'strong +20, IQ -30'." Lu Xi said with a sneer.
"Tsk, your statement really makes me feel subtly unhappy. Don't forget that everyone here, except you, is all Nords."
Nanoka is from Oakland. Although Lu Xi wanted to say this, considering that the conversation was likely to fall into meaningless arguments, he decided to give up.
"Actually there is another way." Lu Xi decided to return the conversation to a nutritious rhythm, and said in a solemn tone: "Since everyone doesn't like the magic dragon so much, and the goddess sister also speaks on behalf of the Atlas boss, there is another way... Let's take action to destroy the schizophrenia."
"...Little magician, you have really subverted my understanding of you! Such a 'killing decision' is indeed in line with your magician's absolutely neutral position."
"Oh, my beautiful Sword Saint Sister, don't tell me that you have never thought about this."
"Oh, this little mouth is so sweet. Nords never talk like this. When I heard it, I thought it was an Auckland slutty playboy." As long as it was a woman, even the Sword Saint, would probably not be indifferent to such "flattery". The Sword Saint showed a very gratified look and once again patted Lu Xi's shoulder hard: "But young man, do you think it will be useful to act coquettishly towards a great-grandmother-level woman?"
"I'm not acting cute, I'm just explaining the facts!" Lu Xi spread his hands very naturally, so serious that he couldn't see any fake elements.
The female swordsman covered her mouth and giggled twice, then said: "The living Nords call us heroic spirits and Songgard as holy land, but in fact we are all dead, and this is just a paradise for dead people after all. Letting the dead kill a creature that should have been alive is also a violation of balance, and it also goes against the permanent neutral will of God Atlas."
Neutral is indeed very troublesome! Seeing the Holy Spirit and the Demons constantly exert their influence around the main plane, and even rolled up their sleeves to do it themselves, the Assassin gods, don’t you feel frustrated?
"...But you're already bullying it every day."
"But we didn't kill, didn't we?" the female swordsman said with a smile.
In other words, toys can be played with, but as long as they are not broken, it is not considered a violation of the will of the leader?
Lu Xi felt that if he continued to talk to these heroes, he would probably not be able to save the remaining integrity in his hands. Although this thing is not very important, it would be better to leave a little bit than spend it all.
"Anyway, he is willing to go with you. This is always a good thing. Even if you complete the task, right? Is it OK? Azell?"
"This is natural. The question I raised was to persuade him to leave with you. And you did it, and as for the consequences, I can't control it at all." The Overlord nodded casually, his attitude as if he was just deciding tonight's dinner.
"Hey, little girl, your name is Artoria, right? Now I will announce that you have passed this Heroic Spirit Trial on behalf of all the heroes of Songgard." The Overlord glanced at the surroundings. There were hundreds of heroes present, but everyone seemed a little absent-minded. He smiled bitterly in a little annoyed. Then he said to the Knight Princess: "It seems that no one objected, so come forward."
Even if this is over? It's too much of a joke, right? Lu Xi felt that his egg was crushed by ten thousand grass mud horses that were racing past.
In his mind, since it is known as the trial of the heroic spirit and the things that determine the future of the Nord throne, even if there is no difficulty in obtaining the scriptures, it must be at least comparable to Hercules' 12 great achievements. Complete n tasks that cannot be completed many times. It is tormenting people to half-destroy and claiming that this is for you to realize the various qualities of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness that the king needs. It takes a pen and ink to describe these "trials", even if you cannot open a new book again. It is still okay to write a 100,000-word essay to cheat money.
But now, everything is just a cloud...
Fortunately, Artoria quickly turned red and expressed her objection loudly: "But... this is too ridiculous? Ah, I don't mean that. The key is that it was Lu Xi who convinced the demon dragon, and it had nothing to do with me. This is no longer cheating, it's simply a place to enjoy the fruits. I can't accept it no matter what."
"Hey, why are you little girl starting to be stubborn again?" The Overlord looked at the incoherent Knight Princess with a look of regret, and couldn't help but slapped the other person's little head: "Isn't this kid your companion?"
"Of course Lu Xi is my companion, and......" Artoria blushed and glanced at Lu Xi, not knowing what she was thinking, and involuntarily buried her head.
Not only a companion, but also a companion who can push himself down at any time. Lu Xi couldn't help but think so.
"As a king, isn't it a wise choice to use the power of a companion to achieve his goal?"
"But……"
"Can you be so proud that you think you are good at everything and can do it well?"
"I, I don't mean that." Artoria's face turned redder. This time it was not because of shyness, but because of excitement.
"If you don't have this intention, come forward! I have told you that if you ruin the achievements created by your companions and subordinates for the so-called honor, then you are not only disqualified as a king, but also disqualified even as a human being." The overlord said in an unquestionable tone. Before he could wait for the answer from the Knight Princess, he reached out his hand domineeringly and grabbed the girl's white wrist without saying anything.
"You..." As you grow so big, except for your father and brother and Lu Xi, there is probably no man who touches his body like this. Artoria suddenly gets goose bumps and wants to struggle, but after using force several times, she only feels that the other party's arms are like magic iron hoops. Not only can't break free, but she can't even use her own strength.
"Close your eyes! Carefully realize the power flowing in your body!" The Overlord shouted: "This kind of power is the combat skill created by the third emperor of the Nord Dynasty, the sword emperor Resnate. Like the Sword of Vow to Victory, he is also a symbol of the supreme power of the empire and the mark of the king!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
