What Qing Yun believes can only be his, and it is absolutely not allowed to be named by other people.
But under such an angry situation, that stupid dragon is still not there
Qingyun was even more depressed. If he hadn't believed in his own idiot, he might have thought that the man left him suddenly to meet this messed up princess.
Lydia was at a loss for words when asked, how did she know if the dragon had appeared? It was just that when the man named Ainuo mentioned the border city Dragon Roar, he smiled and pretended to know.
Along the way, she kept emphasizing that she was able to communicate with the dragon, but it was because she knew that the dragon was not in the Kerris Mountains. This is because she met an adventurer who had just returned from the Kerris Mountains on the way, and the adventurer died after telling her the truth about the absence of the dragon.
That's why Lydia deduced that the giant dragon had given up on Stutian, and that's why she dared to bluff and deceive with the reputation of the giant dragon. When someone questioned her, she firmly released the news that the dragon was no longer there, and acted as if she knew about the dragon's whereabouts. Only in this way did she gain everyone's trust.
And after arriving at the forest of elves, some elves really went to investigate, and they completely confirmed her lie.
But Lydia didn't speak, but other elves refuted for her: "The princess is very kind, even she has a heart of compassion for the demons, and of course she won't let the giant dragon kill all the demons!"
As soon as these words came out, the mercenary beside Qingyun sneered, with murderous intent in their eyes.
The demons seized their territory and slaughtered their relatives. Women and children were not spared from the hands of the demons. They even captured humans alive to do hateful dark magic. Now it is said that the princess has good intentions towards the demons
Even after hearing the name of the dragon, these mercenaries did not put down their weapons. In their hearts, the dragon is no longer the most important thing. They already have their own courage and strength, instead of relying on it as before. Yu Julong.
"There's no point in arguing about this." Lancer walked forward slowly, glanced at the people on Qingyun's side, frowned and asked, "Where is Hughes?"
As he spoke, he looked at Qing Yun: "Are you afraid that Hughes will expose your identity and kill him?"
"Nonsense!" Throdi snapped, and took out Hughes' relic, "Hughes died in the war to save the princess. Even before he died, his face was full of glory!"
Lancer was stunned for a moment. He saw that the expressions of Selodi and the others did not seem to be fake, and then he really looked seriously at Joyce who was disguised as a woman but had no sense of disobedience.
Whether it was Hughes who was willing to die for him, or whether he could kill Hughes without anyone noticing it, and still convinced so many people, it all showed that this young man's ability had exceeded his imagination.
Lanser's expression finally became serious. He looked at Qing Yun and shouted sharply: "Joyce, quickly admit your identity, and kneel down to beg Princess Lydia's forgiveness."
"Oh? What if I don't?" Qing Yun smiled sarcastically. When he was forced to pretend to be a princess, the great magician almost tried every means to brainwash him. Now that he sensed his threat, he forced him again. Admit your identity
"If you don't apologize like the princess, the elves will swear to the death to protect the honor of the princess." The elf king also squinted his eyes and threatened the girl opposite with a low voice.
When the two sides were in a stalemate, a few roars of beasts came suddenly, and the Elf King and Ainuo suddenly raised their heads, and a leopard with a smooth body and jet-black hair slowly walked over.
The Elf King frowned, looked at the black panther who was showing a powerful aura and said, "Sure enough, you are here too."
The black panther is naturally the king of monsters. It grinned and said, "I have received an order from the Lord to protect Princess Stutian."
Hearing Hei Bao's words, Qing Yun was taken aback for a moment, and then his brows and eyes softened for a moment. He still can't figure it out, maybe that stupid dragon was worried about his safety and threatened these people to protect him, but he was cut off by Princess Lydia.
When the black panther approached, he couldn't help being stunned when he saw the two girls with the same appearance, but he hesitated for a moment before walking towards Qingyun without hesitation.
"See Your Highness Princess..." Black Panther lowered his noble head and saluted the girl in front of him. He completely abandoned his dignity as a beast king and the nobility inherent in his own race. Compared with humans, elves have a narrow living space, and it is not like letting their race be completely extinct under the wrath of the dragon.
But before the black panther finished his salute, he was interrupted by the ironic voice of the demon king Ainuo: "Beast king, I'm afraid you are old and confused, this is the real Princess Lydia."
"Oh?" Black Panther glanced at Lydia who was standing beside the Elf King, raised his eyebrows in a humane way, "Really?"
The Elf King nodded: "We can all prove the identity of the princess."
Black Panther stood in the middle of the two teams, looked at the delicate and beautiful Lydia, and then at Qing Yun, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a hesitant expression, but a gleam of light flashed in those golden eyes.
It didn't believe the Elf King's words. The reason why it chose to go to this girl just now was not only because of his luxurious clothes, but also because the black panther smelled an extremely dangerous aura from the girl.
Although there was only a trace of this breath left, it made the animal's nerves twitch continuously.
This aura undoubtedly belonged to the giant dragon. What kind of intimate contact could it take for this human girl to be infected with the smell of a giant dragon
But looking at the defense of Lydia by the Elf King and Demon King Ainuo, the Black Panther didn't express his opinion immediately. A cunning light flashed in its eyes. The elves have occupied the entire elf forest, and the demons are even more eyeing. If these two groups can be eradicated, at least the living space of their monsters will be expanded many times.
That being the case, why did he remind these two idiots who is the real dragon treasure
"Beastmaster, in order to make up for the disrespect you just admitted to the wrong princess, you should immediately arrest the impostor who pretended to be the princess and made her unhappy!"
As soon as the devil king finished speaking, the mercenaries and guards of the Qingyun camp immediately raised their weapons to face the black panther.
Regardless of whether the girl they protected along the way is a princess or not, he has already gained their belief, because what they believe in is not his identity or his beauty, but his shining soul that can give people courage.
The black panther made a circle in the middle pretending to be hesitant, then sat down on the grass pretending to be decadent, and sighed: "Forgive me, I can't tell who is the real princess. The orcs have been declining again and again, so I don't want meritorious service." , but please do nothing wrong. I dare not hurt the two princesses, and I, the orc clan, do not participate in your disputes."
With that said, the panther slowly stood up and walked towards the forest again.
Seeing the Beast King leave, the Elf King and the Demon King sneered, but they didn't care too much. After all, the Beast Race did decline, and the Beast King didn't know Princess Lydia as well as they did, so it was understandable to make such a move.
The Elf King looked at the girl with a sarcastic smile on the opposite side, and ordered loudly: "The guards of the Elven clan obey the order, and take down the sinner who pretends to be a princess!"
The surrounding elves immediately ordered Qing Yun and his party to outflank them. Selodi and other elf guards were in a hurry for the first time when they saw the swords and swords facing each other. However, the mercenaries following Qing Yun did not hesitate and moved The elf rushed over.
Seeing the gleaming smugness flashing in the eyes of Lydia, who was full of frailty, the corner of Qingyun's lips curled up, and a strange tone came out of his mouth, and the originally aggressive elf suddenly felt the ground shake under his feet.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Look! It's that counterfeit!"
"He, how could he have such a powerful magic that can produce such a large-scale effect without the bonus of the magic circle!"
With the knowledge of the Elf King and the Demon King, their eyes widened in surprise when they noticed the vibration under their feet. Trees collapsed, the ground cracked, and elves fell into the cracks and could no longer climb out, but the girl and her party on the opposite side were not affected at all.
Those mercenaries with weapons in their hands stood proudly beside the girl. In the battle of the border city, their princess used such magic, which caught a large number of magic soldiers by surprise.
This magic is powerful, but it is also unusually long-lasting, and the entire elf forest shook violently. An elf ran out of the forest in a panic, wailing: "King! The shock is about to spread to the mother elf tree..."
The Elf King and his party finally panicked. The elf mother tree had just recovered, and although it hadn't produced new fruits yet, it couldn't stand the shock.
Such a threat caused the Elf King to disregard his own identity and attack the girl who was a fraction of his age. But the result surprised him even more. Not only did the girl maintain her magic leisurely, she even blocked his attack completely.
Even the sneak attack of the demon king Ainuo was easily blocked by the protective shield around the girl.
This was beyond everyone's expectations. How could a girl in her teens block the attacks of people like them who had lived for hundreds of years
Looking at the flustered Lydia and the others, Qing Yun's eyes showed glaring malice. He has been unhappy with this group of elves who opened and shut their mouths for a long time, and of course he doesn't mind everyone Start the killing ring.
Qingyun's benevolence was completely wiped out under the training of heaven. He has a steelyard in his heart, people respect him one foot, he respects others one foot, if someone offends him, he will definitely return it a thousand times and a hundred times.
The black panther hiding in the jungle looked at the girl with a strange tone of voice in shock. Of course it didn't dare to leave seriously and let the Elf King and Demon King really hurt the girl. After all, the threat of the giant dragon was there. If something happened to the girl, I'm afraid no creature would survive.
But when he saw the girl uttering dragon language, the black panther was still trembling with fright. What kind of dragon's treasure, isn't this girl just a giant dragon? Otherwise, how could he use dragon language magic so proficiently
Just when the entire elf clan fell into panic of extermination even though there was no threat of a giant dragon, the great magician who had been silent all this time suddenly took out a scroll, and he opened it abruptly.
Qing Yun, who was casting magic, spit out a mouthful of blood immediately, and the magic stopped.
Lancer smiled: "Joyce, don't forget that your life is still in my hands."
Qing Yun stared at the scroll in Lancer's hand with condensed eyes. Lancer did take Joyce's blood and made a scroll with secret methods, threatening his life.
"It turns out that the great magician only uses such insidious tricks to threaten others?" Qing Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a sneer.
Although the voice is still firm, it suppresses the weakness that seems to be there.
Sensing that trace of weakness, the great magician finally felt relieved. He didn't expect that the boy whom he hadn't seen for a long time had become so powerful that he had no choice but to take out the thing he had threatened Joyce in the first place.
Lancer held the scroll and said with a sneer, "As long as it can protect the princess, I am willing to use any means."
Seeing that Qingyun was injured, the surrounding elves rushed up aggressively.
Without Qing Yun's magic, even if his guards and mercenaries resisted desperately, they were still vulnerable to the Elf King and Demon King, and soon Qing Yun and his party were tied into the elves.
The black panther hiding in the dark followed silently. It looked at the girl who was at a disadvantage but still not flustered, and cautiously did not immediately step forward to rescue the girl.
Maybe it needs to wait a little longer, and when the girl is in more danger, it will be grateful to the girl for saving people.
Qing Yun and others were brought into the elves, and the guards and mercenaries were tied up, but he was directly tied to the stake.
In order to please Lydia, the Elf King and others will naturally not let Qing Yun go, they knelt in front of Lydia and poured out their loyalty: "Dear princess, in order to protect your reputation and give others a shock, We must punish this sinner who pretends to be you. Maybe you think it is too cruel, but you must know that this is necessary... "
Lydia looked at the girl who was tied to the stake but was still resolute and noble, with an unbearable expression on her face, but a hearty laugh in her heart.
cruel? She didn't feel cruel at all, this vulgar boy who snatched her things deserved such an end.
Seeing the pile of firewood at the boy's feet, Lydia even urged in her heart, hurry up, burn him to death, so that no one can disrupt her life and take away her things.
The favor of the giant dragon, the eyes of these men, and the admiration of everyone in the world belong to her.
However, during the execution, the elf king will let all the elves in the family watch, so the real execution will have to wait for a while.
Although Lydia was in a hurry, she wanted everyone to see the boy's miserable end, so that she could fully prove her noble status.
But Lydia looked at the young man who was in such a mess, and still couldn't help the malice in her heart. When others were not paying attention, she pretended to be sympathetic and walked up to the young man tied to the stake. looking at him.
"Oh, Joyce, you know, you shouldn't pretend to be me now. You have to know that the gap between us is so big. After all, I am a princess who lived in the palace since I was a child, and you are just a boy in a slum , as long as a normal person can see the gap between us, let alone a real dragon?"
Lydia subconsciously made up her relationship with the dragon again, which has become her habit: "You don't know how much the dragon loves me, although I doubt whether I can bear the weight of it every day. Jun’s love. My healing magic completely healed the pain in the dragon’s heart. He treated me so tenderly and cared for me. So Joyce, even without the Elf King and the others, you cannot escape the dragon’s palm .”
There was a smug smile in Lydia's eyes, and she looked at the boy who was nobler than herself, as if she was looking at a humble insect: "Joyce, please apologize to me, make amends, so that I can still Spare your life."
Saying that, Lydia laughed again, and she pretended to show off helplessly: "Oh, of course, I can't guarantee that the dragon will let go of its anger at you because of this."
Qing Yun looked at her with a half-smile, as if he was looking at a jumping clown. He didn't speak, but just looked at the position of the sun in the sky and estimated the execution time.
Soon the elves surrounded the entire execution ground, and every elf looked at the girl on the burning rack in disgust.
"Quick! Burn him to death! Make amends to Princess Lydia!"
The Elf King spoke, and he said to Qing Yun: "Princess Lydia is extremely kind, and I will give you a chance to leave your last words."
Qing Yun looked around the entire execution ground, and said loudly: "You are right, I am indeed not Princess Lydia, I am Joyce."
As soon as he finished speaking, Selodi and the mercenaries who were tied up immediately opened their eyes wide, looking in disbelief at the girl who made them follow desperately.
What's the meaning? Are they really being lied to
"I'm just a boy in the slums. I don't have a rich life, and I don't have a noble status. But because of the cowardice of your beloved Princess Lydia, I was arrested and used as her substitute, and I was forced to replace her. Kerris Mountains."
The young man's quiet words were like a clear spring in summer, calming down all the restless audience. They couldn't help but stared at the boy, completely engrossed by his words.
The truth, is it like this? Isn't this young man who loves vanity and pretends to be Princess Lydia on purpose
All the elves who happily came to watch the execution of this young man felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
"The great magician Lanser spent two full years making me into what I am now. I gave up my gender, gave up my identity, and completely lived myself as another person. At the beginning I was afraid, but when I walked through the border city and saw the pain of all the people who were invaded by the demons, my fear disappeared."
The young man's clear voice sounded again, and his blue eyes became more determined, "Because I was thinking, Princess Lydia has all kinds of people who love her, but I don't, maybe sacrifice me alone to save The entire Stutian is the best choice."
This is Joyce's last and truest thought, but unfortunately he will never have the chance to express his heart.
Empty and with a lonely voice, it slowly flowed through everyone's hearts, and the mercenaries and guards who followed Qingyun all the way from the border city were already in tears.
Their hands and feet were bound, but they were still struggling to climb towards that shining figure. Selodi and the others finally understood the meaning of what the young man said under the walls of the border city, and also understood why he was so decisive.
Because, from the beginning to the end, he was just a victim, a victim who couldn't even tell his own identity, and all the glory brought by his sacrifice belonged to others.
But it is such a pathetic boy who tries to save the whole country by himself.
"Princess! You will always be our princess!" Someone yelled.
After Qing Yun finished speaking, Lydia could hardly maintain the expression on her face. She couldn't imagine why this young man had revealed his identity, but his guards were more loyal to him
The great magician Lancer also clenched his palms tightly. In fact, he had already noticed this young man who looked exactly like Lydia back then. Not only did he notice it, but some people in the royal family also speculated whether this was the royal blood that was left outside.
That's why Lancer made up his mind to use this young man as a substitute for Princess Lydia, and get rid of him from the Kerris Mountains. Because of course Lancer hoped that the pampered Lydia would take over, so that he could completely control the power of the entire country behind his back. So how could he be willing to let this young man who appeared halfway cut off his beard? After seeing this greatly changed young man today, Lancer strengthened his thoughts even more.
"I beg, I can restore my true identity before I die, and I hope the great magician can take back the artifact on my body." Qing Yun made his own request.
The soft-hearted elves were moved by this pitiful but extremely strong boy, and they all helped him pray to Princess Lydia.
Due to the image she usually created, Lydia could not refuse Qing Yun's request, so she smiled at Lancer.
Lancer took out the key of the artifact with a cold face, but did not take back the artifact immediately, but said: "After you die, I will take back the artifact and start the execution!"
He doesn't look like he's letting this boy do something.
Seeing the key that Lancer was holding tightly in his hand, Qing Yun finally hooked the corner of his mouth.
He had already cut off the connection between that drop of blood and himself with his soul, how could he be threatened by the great magician again? Pretending to be weak and being arrested is just to allow the great magician to take out the key to the artifact with confidence.
Holding the torch, the elf couldn't bear to walk up to the boy who was disguised as a woman, but only made people feel distressed. He couldn't bear to throw the torch on the firewood for a long time.
Demon King Ainuo stepped forward with a wicked smile, took the torch from the elf's hand, and was about to throw it on the young man.
At this time, when he saw the young man who was about to die but still extremely calm, he opened his thin lips and gently called out a name: "Moris."
In the cold pool in the deepest part of the Morris Mountains, a huge silver ice sculpture trembled suddenly, and a pair of vertical pupils of the same color as the flames suddenly flashed.
