The killings by the river beach continued, and most of the Odins had already crossed the river, but on the river beach on the north bank, those Odins who had not had time to escape and remained within the attack range of the killing giant tree were only A way to perish.
This strange tree seems to be able to sensitively sense the surrounding Odins, and every time the huge branch is waved, it can accurately hit the most densely populated location.
Soon, the screams gradually weakened, and what remained on the river beach, around the three huge strange trees, was densely covered with a layer of the corpses of Odin warriors with mutilated limbs on the ground! The blood almost dyed the land of the river bank a dazzling crimson!
In the distance, Dodoro carefully flew the flying carpet back a little bit, as far away from the beach as possible. Even so, the terrifying killing scene in front of him made the magician almost bend over and spit it out!
This is the battle of Dodo Luo's fame. As a small guy, I'm afraid that his vitality has never imagined that he can have such a majestic day in the past few decades, but when all this happened in front of him, After Dodoro's complacent energy passed, he also gave birth to a faint strangeness.
All of this...too...too cruel!
…
What Dodoro did not know, neither did the Odins who were being slaughtered. At this moment, right here, in the sky above the place where the slaughter is being carried out, far above the flying carpet controlled by Dodoro, behind a cloud and mist, a silver-haired fluttering, beautiful and glamorous appearance His face was hovering behind the clouds with mocking eyes, and those icy eyes, through the clouds, were quietly serving everything that happened below.
On that beautiful face, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a mocking smile.
"Humph... It turned out to be the 'Ancient War Tree'? Humph, that hateful boy, actually lied to me that he borrowed two acid rain scrolls to water the flowers at the fountain. Do you really think I'm a fool?"
Merlin muttered to himself coldly.
Unlike before, this time Merlin was not alone. Right in the sky, beside Merlin, there was another slender and slender figure standing behind Merlin with a smile, with long golden hair, his face was no less beautiful than Merlin, and the pair of azure blue Eyes are like two invaluable gems. Her skin is delicate and lustrous, like the finest ivory... The most attractive thing is that in the golden hair on both sides of her, a pair of pointed ear tips are slightly protruding, which looks slender and moving, and brings a kind of strangeness. of beauty.
This figure is obviously an elf.
Vivian was right behind Merlin, maintaining a fully respectful attitude. Behind her, a pair of translucent snow-white wings spread out, with a faint halo, maintaining a floating posture.
Merlin's words made Vivian smile, and the elf said in a low voice, "Teacher, I think that Mr. Xia didn't really hide from you. He didn't expect this kind of lame reason to be true. Can hide your discerning eyes. But... This is a good excuse for both him and you. At least, he is considerate of you and did not directly ask you to help. "
Merlin raised his eyebrows: "Oh, then should I thank him for his understanding? Humph! This daring boy! I thought that throwing so many ancient war trees here would be able to block the enemy... This Odin army There are no real masters here, otherwise, this kind of thing that can only kill the enemy on the spot is simply a target in the eyes of real masters."
She suddenly frowned again: "How could this adopted son of mine have something like the 'Ancient War Tree'? Vivian, this is the treasure of your elves. Did you give it to him?"
Vivian hurriedly lowered her head: "Teacher, how could I use a forbidden item in a tribe like the Ancient War Tree without authorization. Besides..." Vivian frowned and looked down: "Teacher, I see these things, although they look very similar. The ancient war tree of our elves, however, seems to be a little different."
"Oh?"
Vivienne sighed, her eyebrows raised with pity and intolerance: "The elves are a peace-loving race. Although our ancient war tree is also a weapon, its lethality is by no means as brutal as these three strange trees... Moreover... elves The ancient war tree of the clan is catalyzed by the magical power of nature of our elves. The cultivation of the ancient war tree, even if it is catalyzed by the force of nature, cannot grow to such a huge size in such a short time. Cultivating a war tree It takes at least three or five days for an ancient tree to grow and take shape."
"It's not something from the elves..." Merlin rolled his eyelids: "Hmph... It seems that this adopted son of mine is hiding a lot of little secrets from me. Ha! Like that old alcoholic, he always likes to do anything. Keep it up."
Mentioning "Old Drunkard", Merlin's expression suddenly darkened, and he sighed: "Let's go, the overall situation is settled here, it seems that I don't need to meddle in my own business."
Vivian bent down and said in a low voice: "The teacher cares about Lord Xia Ya, so he secretly came here to sit here in person. If Lord Xia Ya knew about your hard work, he would definitely…"
"Vivian, you're getting more and more wordy." Merlin turned her head suddenly, her beautiful eyes narrowed into a thin line—everyone who knew her knew that whenever Merlin narrowed her eyes, she was upset. !
Vivian shrank back quickly and closed her mouth.
"Remember, after you go back, don't tell that kid about our coming here... not even a word." Merlin said lightly, then she raised her eyelids and glanced at Vivian: "And... I hope you understand One thing. Although I enjoy the respectful gesture of others in front of me, I'm not too old. I don't like when you call me 'teacher', and I've never officially accepted you as my student. I don't want to hear that from your mouth anymore, otherwise, I'll turn your pretty face into a pig's head... Honey, you know, I can really do it."
Seeing the fear and obedience in Vivian's eyes, Merlin nodded in satisfaction.
Immediately, she gently touched her forehead: "Well, when I go back this time, it seems that I have to question my adopted son carefully to see how many little secrets he has hidden, hehe..."
…
In the city guard mansion of Denzel City.
Compared to a few days ago, the servants and guards in the city guard's mansion obviously feel a lot more settled in their hearts.
A few days ago, this Lord Xia Ya was not in the mansion, and everyone seemed to feel that there was a lack of backbone in their hearts. Especially those guards, most of these guards were those mercenaries who had surrendered to Char in Wildfire Town before. Everyone has experienced the journey on the wildfire field together, fought with horse thieves together, and witnessed the braveness and heroism of this Lord Char.
When they returned to Denzel City from Yehuoyuan together, this Lord Xia also went to Odin's army alone in order to protect the Lord and buy time, and pretended to be an identity to deceive Manninger! How can such a courageous man not be admired and admired
Although... This adult will occasionally engage in some nonsense intermittently on weekdays.
This time, Lord Xia Ya came back from the outside world. It is said that he was seriously injured. Until now, he can't get out of bed. The daily food and daily life are all served by the fiancée of the amazingly beautiful adult - this future mistress, listen to Say it's a royal princess.
Although the adult was seriously injured, as long as he was in the city, everyone seemed to have a backbone in their hearts, and it was always a hundred times stronger than the empty feeling in their hearts a few days ago.
It's just... It seems that the adults can't help but have a rambunctious temperament today...
※※※
"Quick, quick, stop dawdling." Xia Ya lay on the bed and smiled bitterly: "I'll let you wipe it off."
In the room, Adeline was wearing a soft moon-white robe, her pale blond hair was easily pulled behind her head and draped over her left shoulder. fully revealed. But at this moment, Adeline's beautiful face was full of embarrassment: "Really, do you really want to do this?"
"Well, I can't help it either..." Xia Ya sighed: "Hurry up and do it."
Adeline didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she could only listen to what Xia said—she had a small bowl in her hand, which contained half a bowl of bright red liquid, which looked like blood.
Uh... It doesn't look like blood, it's actually blood - dog blood.
Adeline refrained from laughing, and after smearing the blood from the bowl on Xiaya's body and several parts of her face with a small brush, Xiaya was still not satisfied: "Don't apply it too evenly, look at it that way. It's fake. Make it more natural, um, that's it, a little more to the left..."
After he instructed Adeline to finish it, he asked Adeline to re-tie a new roll of bandages to himself.
After doing all this, Xia Ya looked like an ancient corpse just unearthed!
Under the bandages faintly revealed the color of dark red dog blood.
"The last program..." Xia sighed: "There is a stick on the table, you brought it."
"…Huh?" Adeline was stunned.
"Bring it here." Xia Ya hissed a breath and watched Adeline come to the front with a stick: "Look at my head... Well, punch me in the face!"
"??!" Adeline opened her innocent eyes wide and looked at Xia Ya in amazement: "Xia, Xia Ya... You don't have a problem with your head, right?"
Xiaya smiled bitterly: "I'm fine, on the contrary, I'm very awake."
Seeing Adeline's big eyes full of doubts, Xia Ya sighed and lowered her voice: "If you don't make it a bit miserable, how can you fool that old mad woman Merlin?"
Adeline was stunned, and then her expression was a little embarrassed: "Well, that... Xia, I think you should not call Mr. Merlin that way... "
"Uh... She was an old mad woman." Xia pursed her lips and sighed, then looked at Adeline and said softly, "I made up a few excuses a few days ago and borrowed them from her. Some things. But with her intelligence, I am afraid she has already seen the problem, but she is too proud to expose me, but she will quietly run to find out. Alas... I have always had a few The secret was kept from her, and now she found out, I'm afraid it's going to be bad. With Merlin's temper, I'm afraid that she will come to trouble me. She is not a soft-hearted person... Hey, baby Adeline, you Would you have the heart to watch your future husband be turned into a green frog by this crazy old woman?"
Adeline was shocked!
Immediately, she probably thought of the scene where she would share a bed with a frog at night... Adeline shuddered fiercely and shook her head vigorously!
"That's it." Xia Ya smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, although Merlin is weird, I finally figured out a characteristic of her temper... It is this characteristic that makes her not so bad as to be annoying."
"… what?"
Xia Ya giggled: "Speaking of which, she is an extremely proud guy. So although she is ruthless, she has one characteristic: she has a very high self-esteem, so she will never deliberately bully the weak... As long as you are with her With a miserable appearance in front of her, she won't have the heart to torment you any more. Because in her heart, she probably thinks that bullying the weak is too demeaning."
After a pause, Xia said in a low voice: "Didn't you see what that guy Dotolo did? It is said that the apprentices around Merlin are almost dead! But Dotolo has survived until now... You know Why? Because this guy can pretend! Look at Merlin every time Merlin punishes Dodo and kicks him, Merlin lifts his foot up, Dodo screams as if his bones are broken, and when Merlin falls, I can't help but take back a lot of strength. Another example is when Merlin used a flame ball to punish Dodo Luo, Dodo Luo was hit on the butt by the fire ball, and the scream was louder than the sound of killing a pig! Although it did hurt a little, but where would it be? How painful is it? You can hear Dodoro's screams, and Merlin often can't let it go, and he will give up after a few harsh reprimands at most!"
Adeline seemed to understand what she didn't understand, but nodded blankly: "Xia Ya, so you want me..."
"Merlin will definitely come to trouble me! I can be 100% sure of this." Xia frowned: "So, to deal with her and keep her from tossing me, there is only one way: pretend to be miserable! The more you pretend in front of her. Miserable, the better! But she is not a fool after all. When this woman is not crazy, she is really smart and scary. So... disguising this kind of thing, pay attention to a mixture of true and false, half-truth! Although the blood is fake, but If I don't have any real scars on my face, how can she really believe it?"
When Xia said this, he gritted his teeth and said, "So, just take a stick and hit me hard twice in the face! It's okay, I can stand it!"
Adeline's hands trembled a little: "This... Really want to fight?"
"I really want to fight!" Xia Ya replied firmly.
"Must be hit?"
"Be sure to fight!" Xia Ya did not hesitate.
"Have to fight?"
"We must fight! Hurry up..."
As soon as Xia Ya finished speaking, she saw Adeline closed her eyes with a look of unbearable expression on her face, holding a stick in both hands and falling down...
"oops!!!!!"
A scream came from the room.
The guards guarding outside heard the voice of Mr. Xia Ya, and rushed in hurriedly.
When he rushed into the room, he saw that Mr. Xia Ya was in bandages all over his body, lying on the bed, covering his face with both hands, blood flowing from the crevices of his fingers, and screaming in pain.
Beside the bed, the young and beautiful mistress, holding a stick in her hand, was at a loss, and cried out in panic, "Xia Ya... Are you alright? I didn't mean to... "
"Go out..." Xia Ya let go of his hand and shouted to the guard at the door, "Let's all go out!"
As soon as Xia Ya let go, the guard at the door almost didn't open his eyes.
It turns out that the bridge of the nose, which was originally straight, has been crooked to the side of General Xia Ya! The bridge of the nose was broken! His face was full of blood, and the bridge of his nose was crooked to one side, which was indescribably funny.
After the guard was driven out by Char, Adeline almost cried: "Char, I didn't mean to... I closed my eyes just now, then slipped my foot and fell down... This, this stick hit you right in the nose..."
Seeing the tears in Adeline's eyes, Xia quickly squeezed Adeline's hand and said softly, "It's okay, I'm rough and fleshy, it doesn't matter if I hit a few times... It's really okay, you hit me. Good, very good! This time the acting is real enough."
However, Adeline felt distressed for Xiaya, so she quickly found a wound medicine to apply to Xiaya.
Xiaya was lying on the bed, thinking in his heart: After Merlin had the regeneration technique, although his body recovered little by little, it seemed to be no different from before, but one benefit was lost.
His body was strengthened with dragon blood in the past, and the strength of his body is amazing, and ordinary swords are hard to hurt.
But after Merlin's spellcasting this time, his body gradually recovered, but this benefit disappeared - otherwise, how could Adeline's stick break the bridge of her nose in the past
While thinking about it, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside.
"My lord! Your adoptive mother is here!!"
A guard looked panicked.
"Oh?" Xia Ya was refreshed: "What should come always comes! Fortunately, I'm ready!" She then glanced at Adeline: "Well, don't wipe the tears on your face, just to let It's easier for her to be fooled when she sees it! Remember... Just saying that I was in a hurry to get out of bed before I recovered, and then accidentally fell off the steps, resulting in more injuries... Remember, don't miss it! "
After speaking, Xiaya lay on the bed, holding her breath and waiting quietly.
But after a while, only the guard who had reported the letter ran in outside the door.
The guard looked strange, stood at the door and looked at Xi Ya: "Sir... that... "
"Where's Merlin?" Xia asked suspiciously.
"That... Your adoptive mother, she seemed to be furious when she entered the gate just now, but when she walked outside the courtyard, she suddenly stopped. I followed carefully... Then, then... "
"And then what?"
The guard smiled wryly: "Your adoptive mother said: That kid is very cunning. Knowing that I am here to trouble him, maybe he has already used his hands and feet to pretend to be pitiful to deceive me. I am afraid that he will really hurt himself. To win my sympathy, you go tell that kid, don't plan my mind all day long, I'll go back first, let him heal the new injury he just got today, and I'll come back to repair him... Well, Mr. Hui, you That's what my adoptive mother said, and after she finished speaking, she turned around and left."
Xia Ya and Adeline looked at each other, and the two said, "..."
