"You are ugly."
Prince Lexi turned around, and when he saw Mr. Xie's first words, he was merciless.
Mr. Zhe opened his rotten mouth and smiled silently. He didn't seem to be angry, and replied:
"I am a fallen person, of course I can't compare with you who are bathed in the glory of the Lord of Radiance."
Prince Lehi is indeed personable, handsome and elegant. His actual age is close to fifty years old. Due to his careful maintenance and the blessing of the power of the paladin, he looks as if he is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old.
His eyes are deep and melancholy, but there is always a faint smile on his mouth, and he exudes an irresistible charm.
But under this charm, there is an extreme danger hidden.
As the only living paladin of the San Lorenzo family, Prince Lehi can be said to be the great killer of the Glorious Empire, and countless enemies of the empire died in his hands.
There is even a saying in the Glorious Empire that the empire can live without Emperor Reinhardt, but it cannot live without Prince Lehi.
This sentence is actually a heartbreaking remark, but it can be spread, and it also reflects Prince Lehi's status and prestige in the empire from the side.
However, the paladin of the San Lorenzo family at this time seemed to be out for an outing, without any trace of murderous intent.
With a faint smile on his face, he asked Mr. Ji:
"I heard that you have researched a new forbidden spell called the Eye of Judgment? You also used it to kill Siris Saint Hilde?"
"Yes." Mr. Yu nodded, his only remaining right eye stared at Prince Lexi, as if he was afraid that he would disappear suddenly.
"Excellent!" Prince Laixi praised with a smile, but then changed the subject, and his tone became a little sarcasm, "But how did you make yourself into this look? Didn't it mean that this brand new forbidden spell only needs to sacrifice a city?" , can the caster be exempted from the price he needs to pay?"
A trace of bitterness appeared on Mr. Xi's ugly face, and he sighed: "After all, it is an experimental forbidden spell, and it is also the first time I have released it, so there are some miscalculations, which make you laugh."
"Oh? Where did you make a mistake?" Prince Lexi asked with interest.
The two seem like like-minded friends, exchanging their experience in spell research.
"It should be that the number of sacrifices is not enough, so I have suffered the backlash of some forbidden curses."
"Really? Falling Eagle City has more than 300,000 residents, isn't that enough?" Prince Lexi asked with a look of surprise, "How much is enough?"
"I'm afraid it will take the sacrifice of half a million people." Mr. Ji said indifferently, as if half a million people were no different from fifty lambs in his eyes.
Prince Laixi smiled, as if he felt sorry for Mr. Ji, and said, "Half a million people! There are only a handful of such big cities in the Glorious Empire."
"That's right." Mr. Ji also seemed to feel very sorry, "It's not easy to sacrifice these big cities, not to mention, after the news of the fall of Eagle City spreads, I am afraid that the defenses of these big cities will be strengthened, let alone our mages." Here's the chance."
"As I remember, Yeville has more than half a million residents." Prince Lexi seemed to be helping Mr. Ji find a way.
"That's right." Seeing that the other party urged him to sacrifice the city of mages, Mr. Xi nodded in a serious manner, as if he really felt that such an idea was very feasible.
But immediately, he shook his head and said: "There is no chance to do it again in life, and we always have to pay the price for our past mistakes, but it is these prices that give us the opportunity to grow."
Prince Lexi's smile became brighter and brighter: "Well said! Mr. Xie, if I had known you earlier, maybe we could have become friends."
"It is a great honor for me to be a friend of His Royal Highness!" Mr. Xi saluted solemnly, "Actually, it's not too late to start being friends now."
"No, it's too late." Prince Laixi shook his head slowly, the smile on his face gradually subsided, and his tone became cold, "I'm here to kill you today."
Hearing that a paladin was going to kill him, Mr. Xi didn't have any expression on his face.
Of course, it may also be that his festered face has lost expression.
"Can I ask, why did you kill me?" Mr. Xi's tone was still as calm as water, as if he was really not nervous.
"Why do you need to know the adviser?" Prince Lexi's eyes gradually turned cold, "I thought it was strange when Emperor Reinhardt sat and watched you make troubles in the northern border, but when the Menam family marched north, When I tried to take advantage of the chaos in the north to let the dwarves establish a country, I really confirmed that there is a deal between you and Emperor Reinhardt!
So, what did you use to impress my good nephew, so that he would stand by his wife's family and secretly help a family that has a blood feud with the San Lorenzo family
When the city of Eaglefall was burned and the news that the Duke of St. Hilde was killed by a curse reached my ears, I finally understood that you gave the casting scroll of the 'Eye of Judgment' to my good nephew, This is in exchange for his support, right? "
Mr. Xi didn't speak, acquiescing to Prince Lexi's judgment.
In their position, lying forcibly is boring.
Prince Laixi sneered: "Mr. Xie, when you were currying favor with His Majesty the Emperor and handing over this forbidden curse, which can be called a paladin killer, did you ever think that you would also become a public enemy of the paladin?"
Mr. Ji still didn't speak, the only remaining right eye was looking straight ahead, but the pupil was a little loose, as if...
distracted
Prince Lehi narrowed his eyes, as if he was irritated by Mr. Xie's attitude.
The air was filled with extremely strong murderous intent, as if the next second would be a scene of landslides and ground cracks.
"His Royal Highness." Mr. Ji finally came back to his senses, and said calmly, "Of course I can understand that you want to kill me. But before that, can you allow me to justify a few words?"
There was a sneer on the corner of Prince Lexi's mouth: "What? You still want to persuade me not to kill you?"
Mr. Yu nodded: "Yes, I want to try."
Prince Lexi immediately restrained his murderous aura, and gracefully raised his hand in a gesture of invitation:
"Okay, I look forward to your performance. If you can change a determined paladin's decision, maybe your eloquence is even higher than your arcane level."
Mr. Ji coughed twice, and said calmly:
"Your Highness, you have also seen my current situation. Due to a miscalculation, I still suffered from the backlash of some forbidden curses. I don't think it will be long before I can live well. Why do you need to dirty your hands?"
Prince Lexi looked unmoved, obviously dissatisfied with Mr. Xi's reason.
Mr. Xi was not discouraged, and said again:
"Your Highness, since I can give the scroll of the 'Eye of Judgment' to Emperor Reinhardt, of course I can also give it to someone else.
If you kill me, aren't you afraid that my mage friend will avenge me? "
Prince Laixi laughed mockingly, and said with disdain: "If your mage friend had seen your miserable appearance, would he still be willing to release this forbidden spell
Even if he is really willing to risk his life for you, how can he sacrifice a city with more than 300,000 people
After the incident of Falling Eagle City, which lord will not guard your mages to the death
Or is he going to burn Yevil to avenge you? "
"Why not?" Mr. Xi said with a calm face and firm eyes, "You may not understand what this forbidden spell means to mages."
"Oh? What does it mean?" Prince Lehi asked with a smile.
"It means that we have finally found a glimmer of hope to break free from the shackles on us and control the power of the sanctuary!"
Saying this sentence, Mr. Ji's hunched waist straightened instantly, and the only remaining one eye revealed a fanatical brilliance.
Prince Laixi's complexion also gradually changed, and the endless killing intent dissipated from him, making this space stagnate.
Mr. Xi persuaded again: "His Royal Highness, do you really want to gamble? But I still want to remind you that our bet is too inappropriate. I will die, but you are the pillar of the glorious empire." !"
Prince Lexi's eyes were cold, and he seemed to have made up his mind: "Mr. Xie, you made a mistake."
"Oh? What is it?" Mr. Yu asked puzzled.
"You shouldn't try to threaten a paladin." Prince Lexi said sonorously, "In the face of threats, never back down, this is the belief that a paladin should have!"
Mr. Ji sighed and smiled wryly: "It seems that I made another mistake."
The sword on Prince Lexi's waist was unsheathed, and the air seemed to become sharp at this moment.
"It's okay, just pay attention in the next life."
Mr. Xi seemed to have accepted his fate, looked at Prince Lexi calmly, and said, "Before I die, can I have one last request?"
"speak."
Mr. Ji erected the magic staff inlaid with fire rubies in front of himself, and said loudly:
"I want to see your strongest blow!"
