The light is shining from the clouds and the breeze is blowing gently, it looks like today will be the day.
Ming Na heard someone whispering and looked around. She found that the servants in the nearby house were looking at their uninvited guests and talking among themselves in private. She touched her head and said hello to the soldiers guarding the wall, asking for some good horses so that her group could reach the next destination as quickly as possible.
Although the enemies in this mansion were quickly eliminated, there were still many places left to go. What's more, according to intelligence, there should be a demon on the loose.
At this time, everyone's spirits were somewhat relaxed. Two soldiers supported a knight with a seriously injured leg and were walking out the door; the monk, under the hostess's cry and begging, was about to recite evil spells and calming spells for her frightened eldest son; the old knight endured the old man's pain. The wife accused and insulted her, and gave her companions impatient glances, signaling them to urge the monk to leave as soon as possible.
Everything is normal.
However, just as the monk began to recite a curse to the young man who had just been taken hostage by the enemy, a cloud of black energy suddenly appeared on the face of the young man who had been in a daze. Then he opened his arms and stretched out his sharp claws. He grabbed the monk closest to him. The latter screamed in pain, swung out the magical weapon in his hand, and hit the young man's head. The young man was hit hard on the forehead, and blood suddenly flowed all over his face. His body tilted, and he fell to the ground, a ball of black energy. It emerged from above the body and rushed towards the monk. The monk was unable to avoid it and felt dizzy and lost consciousness.
The boy's mother and others were so frightened that they screamed again. The knights held their swords and tried to surround the black gas, but they were hit by it. Two more people lost consciousness. Only the royal knight still remembered that this was the Demon Realm. The monster threw an eight-pointed star pendant that he carried with him in the chaos. As soon as the black energy escaped, it shot straight out of the door.
When Ming Na heard the sound and rushed back into the house, she encountered the black air. She immediately lowered her body to avoid the black air, and at the same time cast an ice sealing spell on it. But the black air was too cunning, and he quickly dodged it, unfolding two black wings from the air mass and attacking Mingna vigorously. Ming Na only felt a fishy smell coming over her, but she didn't feel anything at all. The royal knight who rushed out of the house rolled his eyes, fell down, and his face turned blue and black. Ming Na was startled, and quickly took out the magic potion and drank it. She turned around and saw the black gas crossing the outer wall, and immediately chased him out.
The old knight called her loudly from behind. Seeing that she hadn't stopped yet, he had to send an emergency distress signal to the sky. He then ordered everyone in the house to be detained and sent soldiers to search to prevent any more fish from slipping through the net. As for the monks and several unconscious knights, they had to wait for the people from the Van'a Mission to rescue them.
Minna chased the black air all the way, and saw it moving left and right, fast and slow, flapping its two black wings, like a huge bat trapped in the black air, walking between houses and branches, seemingly Teasing the pursuers. Ming Na gasped and cursed secretly in her heart, and was vaguely worried that it would run into the busy city.
A man walked out of the house next to the road. Yawning sleepily. It seemed unclear what was going on. The black energy suddenly turned back. Rush towards him. Ming Na was shocked. He guessed its plan in an instant. Quickly speed up your steps. At the same time, recite the Divine Mantra of Light loudly. I want to drive away the black energy. Seeing that the black energy was not affected at all. Then he simply used a seismic technique on the man's feet. Let him fall suddenly. The black energy was narrowly avoided.
The anger didn't stop. It hit the wall of a house on the roadside. A big hole was made. Broken stones scattered everywhere. It frightened the man. Howling in terror. The black air turned around. Two yellow light spots were revealed. Like a pair of eyes. He narrowed his eyes at the man. Then he rushed towards him again.
This time. Mingna erected a thick earth wall directly in front of the man. He blocked the black energy back again. Send out several freezing spells at the same time. The black air was frozen on the left wing. He had to escape in a hurry. Minna chased after her again.
This time the black energy flew very quickly. At the intersection, his wings flashed. Then he turned into a human figure wearing a black cloak. Go into the downtown area. Quickly in the crowd.
Ming Na only stared at that black spot. He struggled to push through the crowd and catch up. During this period, I almost lost track of him several times. It was not easy to track down to a more open place. About to take action. Then a group of knights came out of the fork in the road next to them. Headed by a young man wearing a monk's white robe. When I saw the man in black. Then he shouted loudly: "That guy also has an evil aura on him!" The knights rushed forward with their swords.
The man in black saw this. Twist your body. It returned to a mass of black energy. Rush towards the nearest knight. After smoking him down. It circled in mid-air. He rushed back to the downtown area again. A carriage came just in front of us. Passed by the black air. The horses were frightened. Screamed. Then he ran to the side like crazy. Several stalls were knocked over by horse-drawn carriages. Vendors fled in panic. But there was a little boy of five or six years old. He seemed to be frightened. Standing there motionless. He was about to be hit by a horse.
Ming Na screamed inwardly, kicked her feet with all her strength, rushed to the little boy, hugged him and rolled him to the side, just avoiding the carriage. Only a small hole was scratched under the hem of her skirt by the axle, and it was stained again. There is less dust and looks a little embarrassed.
The little boy burst into tears. Mingna coaxed him casually, then handed the child back to his parents who kept thanking him, and then looked back at the carriage. The two knights from the group of knights caught up and held on to the reins, finally stopping the horse. After breathing a sigh of relief, they looked back and saw Ming Na, and they were in a daze: "You are..."
At this moment, Ming Na found that the black air was wandering into another road. She didn't bother to introduce herself to the knights, so she raised her wand, sent a signal to the sky, and then pointed to the road: "The demon spies are heading over there, pay attention. , it is very likely to be a real demon!"
The monks and other knights who arrived were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly ordered everyone to surround the nearby area to prevent the enemy from being released.
They didn't question Ming Na's identity. Looking at the color of the signal, they knew that she was definitely a companion in the joint encirclement and suppression mission.
For a time, signals of various colors appeared one after another in the sky over the entire Ito City. Based on these signals, Ming Na soon knew that the hidden demonized people in the more than thirty families had almost been dealt with, and those who had completed their tasks rushed over from all directions according to the direction of the signal sent by Ming Na. , joining the surrounding team.
The black energy tried to break through the encirclement countless times, but every time it was blocked by the monks who came over. It knew that its strength would be greatly reduced in this state, and it estimated that its identity had already been exposed, so it simply changed back to its original form.
At first it was still possible to tell that it was a human being, but gradually, scales began to appear on the skin of the arms, veins popped out, sharp claws stretched out, the upper body was tense, the thighs became thicker, the knees were slightly bent, and the shoes under the feet burst open, revealing a pair of With its big feet, the cloak on its back flew up, turning into bat-like wings. When fully extended, it was more than two meters long.
The black head turned its two big yellow eyes, and the demon roared, revealing the sharp teeth in its mouth. When faced with humans attacking it, it sometimes flaps its wings to stun the opponent with poisonous gas, sometimes it blows the opponent with poisonous gas from its mouth.
Meth, sometimes just tearing people apart with their claws. The lights participating in the operation are not strong enough and can't do anything about it.
The number of casualties among the people in the encirclement and suppression area gradually increased. The knights and soldiers who had never really seen the demon clan faced such a situation were afraid and did not dare to step forward.
Bevin, who rushed over after receiving the news and saw the chaos at the scene, immediately took over the command and ordered everyone to roam with the demons to confront the enemy. Finally, he narrowed the encirclement and trapped it in an empty street.
When Ming Na arrived, she saw the demon roaring at the people surrounding her, with its knees slightly bent, as if it was about to jump up and bite people at any moment.
The knights did not dare to get close, so Bevin asked someone to find a tube of iron-tipped arrows, light the arrow on fire, and shoot at the demons. The demons avoided it one by one, but it was already angered, and it opened its mouth and rushed towards Bevin. Bevin was about to meet the enemy with his sword horizontally, but suddenly a red shadow flashed in front of his eyes. Mingna was already standing in front of him, waving a pair of ice swords in both hands. One sword blocked the incoming sharp claw, and the other sword stabbed the demon. The chest of the clan. The demon screamed, took a few steps back quickly, took two breaths, flashed his eyes, and spewed out a stream of black air from his mouth.
Ming Na knew that the blackness could only smoke people, but had no corrosive effect, so she just held her breath instead of avoiding it. But everyone around him, including Bevin, hurriedly avoided it. At this moment, the demon suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Ming Na. Ming Na raised her sword to block a few blows, but she only felt pain in her arm. Seeing that the demon was gathering strength to attack again, she rolled her eyes and decided She changed her fighting method. When the demon rushed over, she just stood still. Seeing that the demon was about to pounce, people around her screamed when they saw it. Bevin was even more anxious and rushed over to save people.
Just when the demon's sharp claws were less than one meter away from Mingna, she suddenly threw her head back and fell, sliding under the demon. She raised the ice sword with both hands and used the momentum to slash towards the demon's abdomen. When she stopped more than two meters behind the demon, she looked back and saw that the demon had fallen heavily to the ground, with a pool of black blood under its body. It roared shrilly, but could only struggle to move, letting its internal organs Falling out of the abdominal wound.
Bevin stopped in front of it. He was surprised and happy to see it. In order to avoid another disturbance, he immediately ordered to his subordinates: "Where is the magician? Find a magician quickly!"
Mingna wiped off the demon blood on her body with a handkerchief, and applied the magic potion to her skin. After hearing Bevin's words, she was shocked to realize that she actually had other methods. She hurriedly took out her wand, but found that her wand was missing.
At this time, the ground around the demons suddenly protruded, forming four walls of earth, which tightly trapped them. A large stone slab fell from the sky, suppressing the "earth prison" around the demons until only a half-foot-square area was exposed. gap. A ball of light blue flame fell into the gap, and a fire instantly ignited in the earth wall. The demons let out an even more shrill howl, which gradually turned into a whine.
Ming looked along the direction of the flames, and was surprised to see Alex walking forward leisurely, holding the wand in one hand, always pointing it at the direction of the demons, and letting go of the dress with the other hand. Gold buttons on the collar. After arriving at Mingna's side, he smiled slightly: "Why did you lose your wand?" He raised his hand, and Mingna's wand flew from behind Bevin into his hand, and then returned to the owner's hand.
He giggled twice: "It must have fallen accidentally just now. By the way, didn't you go to attend the court meeting? Why are you here?"
"Who said I attended the court meeting? I just rushed to see the king before the court meeting and reported a few small things to him. I heard that your place is quite lively, so I came to help." Alex walked toward the oncoming side. Bevin came and smiled and nodded hello, glanced at the people around him who were looking at him and Ming Na in amazement, and raised the corner of his mouth, "I bet you will become a very famous figure in Ito City after today, Mallory Is it intentional for you to participate in this operation publicly?"
Ming Na glanced around and pursed her lips: "It's really troublesome, he must be plotting against me again!"
"That's not necessarily true." Alex glanced in the direction of the palace, "After the court meeting is over, his purpose will probably be clear, right?"
Today, something big will happen in the palace, but a little guy like him doesn't have to stay there to witness it.
At this time, in the palace, the ministers and the invited nobles were waiting anxiously. The time for the court meeting had already arrived. Why didn't the king show up for so long? Did something unexpected happen? Some nobles who had heard the news in advance exchanged glances with each other, feeling shocked and confused.
Didn't it mean that it would be launched after the court meeting started? Has it already been done
They looked at Prince Hyatt, who was standing next to the throne. He was moving freely and showed no sign of being disabled. He was smiling and talking to the noble speaker. He seemed to be more comfortable than usual and more uneasy in his heart.
Why isn't the second prince here? On the contrary, the young third prince was hiding aside, playing with the flowers in the vase with a bored look on his face. He had never attended such an occasion. What on earth is the king thinking
At this time, the king was stopped by the queen on his way to the hall. She said anxiously: "Think again, Sarah is still young, why did she decide to get married so early? What's more, the situation in Noga is unclear now. If Duke Jedda fails, what will you do to us Sarah?" After all, she is also a mother. She wanted to facilitate the marriage before because Duke Jedda was about to become the king of Noga, and her daughter would have a high status if she married him. But now, she will soon be in power. Whether her daughter can marry Crown Prince Noga is no longer important. She can cancel Selig's marriage afterwards, but cross-border marriages are of great importance. Once decided, they cannot be changed. .
Alfred III glanced at her lightly, with a trace of impatience flashing in his eyes: "What are you worried about? Sarah will not marry immediately, at least until next spring. By then, if Duke Jedda succeeds, Sarah She is still a queen, if he fails and can’t even save his life, what kind of engagement can we have?”
This was an excellent opportunity, and he wouldn't let his wife ruin it. By preparing for the wedding, the Security Agency can re-send people to Noga and restore the intelligence network that has been destroyed for many years. He can also seize the opportunity to influence the political situation in Noga. The news from Shaonan last night increased his confidence. Due to the civil strife in Nuojia and the weakening of national power, Shaonan will have the opportunity to regain control of North Weisha, and he can also take advantage of the situation to strengthen the northern border defense. As for his daughter, based on his understanding of Jada, even if the other party didn't love his daughter, he wouldn't hurt her. She really needs a husband who can hold her down. At the same time, East can also use this marriage to bring Nojia, who has been locked away for many years, back into the mainland's "big family" and chip away at its ambitions bit by bit.
At this time, Jada did not know that she had become the object of concern for her future father-in-law. He was staying in a gorgeous room next to the main hall, staring at the scenery outside the window, lost in thought.
The engagement was officially announced, so if you regret it now, it's still too late.
Does he really want to agree to this marriage
(I forgot to press publish after updating yesterday, I’m sorry...)
