"Stop joking."
Char could tell at a glance that the other party was joking with him, so she did not even move her butt, as if she would dare to look if he dared to take it off.
"Hmph," he snorted.
Sure enough, Lucia's expression changed in a second.
She just wanted to change the atmosphere that had led to a dead end.
However, this did not affect her anger after being rejected without any explanation.
"Hmph, useless."
"Boring."
"I think you just don't dare to!"
"I think you're really bored."
Tit for tat.
After their childish behavior, there was a moment of silence.
The two of them looked at the surface of the water at the same time.
Char thought of the underground river in Astan City, of carrying Mia there, of the half-Goose girl's strange behavior that made her realize that this week was not ordinary, and of her wide-open eyes and silly look.
The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, and his eyes softened.
Hurry up and settle these things, then go to Aurania.
It was unknown what the pavilion was thinking. At first, it was also lost in thought, and its eyes seemed to sweep over the water, letting its thoughts wander somewhere else.
Then, it slowly floated to Char's face.
However, when she met the latter's gaze and saw his satisfied smile that came from the depths of his heart, she felt an inexplicable sense of frustration.
It was as if he had lost something precious.
No, it should be said that she had never obtained it.
"Can we add another condition to our agreement?"
She suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
Char's heart sank, and an answer almost slipped out of his mouth ... The answer was no. He was a person who was afraid of trouble.
However, could he say the answer out loud?
However, this moment of hesitation was noticed by the pavilion.
She sneered, as if she was mocking him, but also self-deprecating.
"There are times when I scare you too."
"Ah ... Ha? What? How can I be scared? just tell me, I will consider it seriously."
Char shrugged.
Lucia gave him a deep look.
"Just don't burn my Surseus this time."
She threw out an answer that caught Char off guard, then got up and looked outside.
"I think you've already guessed where the exit is, right?"
"Yes."
Char followed him, and the two of them approached the entrance of the secret passage.
"By the way, why did you think of building this secret passage?" He asked.
"Not just here."
"Not only? You mean, in the past half a year, you've built more than one secret passage?"
Lucia nodded.
"The secret passage from Blue Moon County's eternal night tower to the blue crystal mine, the secret passage from grape alley to the shadow winery in the suburbs, the secret passage from Freya's Holy Tree Orchard, the secret passage from Bradley's town Hall to the blood garden, the secret passage from Surseus to the unmarked common graves outside the city ... I've dug a secret passage for every city that leads directly to my Palace in the local town."
Char was stunned.
"Why?"
"Of course, I'm afraid of death. I have nightmares every night," Lucia said with a smile. "I either dream that Surseus is burning and I'm wandering in the fire and smoke, dying with my kingdom, or I dream..."
She was suddenly at a loss for words, and turned to glare at Char.
"I'm dreaming about all the good things you've done."
"Haha..."
Char scratched her head.
He was a little embarrassed about his past actions, but he did not regret it at all. He did not even feel ashamed.
He was not a nostalgic person, and he had long passed the threshold of being kind and lawful. He also wouldn't wallow in the past and be unable to extricate himself. If that were the case, he wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
He would forever live in the present.
The two of them arrived at the entrance of the secret passage. It looked like an ordinary wall. Char slowly brought the sword closer to it, and the magical camouflage on it instantly fell apart. A hole was instantly pierced through the wall that was as thick as a finger joint.
In an instant, a strong smell of earth came out of the cave, and... wind?
Char did not even think before she turned around and pounced on the pavilion.
Almost at the same time, a slender, smooth body wrapped in wet soil rushed out of the secret passage with its bloody mouth wide open, brushing past Char's back. It stopped before Char almost escaped into the Shadow Realm.
As the last part of its snake tail was pulled out of the hole, a strong figure followed it out.
This fellow stepped on the wall that had been flattened by the giant Python and arrived at the entrance of the cave after a few jumps. He arrived at the place where Char had disappeared, looking a little confused.
Did I hear something just now?
Just as he was thinking, a hand emerged from under his foot and grabbed his ankle.
Then, he suddenly exerted force!
Bang!
The figure was thrown hard into the wall, leaving a human-shaped dent.
Fortunately, he had brought a large amount of soil with him when he came out, which softened the wall of the hole. Otherwise, he would have lost half his life.
Seeing that its master was being attacked, the giant Python's huge body instantly rolled over.
Char quickly ran to the wall and pulled out the figure that had just been embedded in it. He held it in his hand and forced the Python to retreat.
What followed was his sarcastic ridicule.
congratulations on your successful escape, Prince Joshua."
That's right, the man who had escaped with the serpent was jobuya--the head of the sbrite family and astryo's father-He was supposed to be imprisoned in the tower of eternal night at the end of the secret passage.
He was also a captive that Char had released not long ago.
Why is it you again?!
Joshua gritted his teeth in hatred.
However, when he felt the familiar blade against his neck, he couldn't help but shiver.
This scene reappeared not long ago in his dream.
And he never dreamed that the two would reunite in such a dramatic way...
The half-elf in front of him was like a nightmare. Not only was she a giant killer, but she was also the culprit who had destroyed his original plan and handed him over to that crazy woman...
Now, they were blocking his way at the scene of the prison Break.
"You'd better let me go, or we'll both die."
Joshua threatened in a low voice.
"Is that so..."
Char's hand suddenly exerted strength and lifted jobuya up, pointing it at the snake head that was preparing to launch a surprise attack.
"Issicip Legi Visi!!"
[Snake language: Spirit snake halt.]
Facing the bloody mouth that was so close to him, Joshua quickly spat out a string of commands. The snake teeth stopped two centimeters away from him.
The smell of earth and the sweet fragrance of the snake's mouth mixed together and assaulted the Prince's face.
"See, in fact, you can't bear to die with us under the mouth of the little cutie."
Char ruthlessly exposed her mask.
"By the way, Your Highness, there's no need to rub out the berserk powder that you've hidden under your nails... This is the cave of the aquamarine mine. Once your little cutie goes berserk, the commotion won't be settled in a short time. Do you know what's outside? Hundreds of beast elf militia, miners, and a Squadron of soldiers ... This isn't a battle that you can break out of with just a giant Python..."
Seeing that all his trump cards had been shaken clean by the other party, waves of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
This guy...
Was he really his nemesis?
This feeling was so familiar that he didn't even have the thought to resist this time.
"Viisi Liciip."
In the azga snake language, the snake slithered under the sand.
Upon hearing the command, the terrifying giant Python glared at Char and wriggled its body into a ball. Its body became smaller and smaller until it was no bigger than a mosquito coil. It jumped onto Joshua's hand and crawled under his skin. After a few wriggles, it became a small snake tattoo.
This scene was like a god.
Although the shibit family was a Beast Tamer on the surface and had started their business by relying on hybrid magical beasts after coming underground, their snake-riding technique, which they were most skilled in, had a longer history than the previous two.
Back when they were at the entrance of the beginner's village, the witch, milolakus, had used a venomous snake to guard the treasure chest. This technique was taught to her by Elin, and this little technique came from the common knowledge of the sprite family. It was already a basic knowledge that couldn't be any more basic.
The snake in front of him was Joshua's true trump card, a level 75 elite creature called " little cutie.
In terms of strength-its smooth scales were not inferior to that of a Dragon of the same level. Of course-Dragons could only be seen in Arendelle, so Joshua could boast as much as he wanted. In any case-no one could refute him.
However, these scales were a lot stronger than dragon scales in one aspect, which was that they could " deflect " almost all physical attacks.
With its strange physical evasion and its innate high magic resistance, nothing could hurt it except for large-scale AoE attacks.
The first time Char saw this snake was when it was level 60, and it was about four years later.
There were a few small missions surrounding the snake, but because he hated reptiles, he did not repeat them many times.
After all, there was no 'technique' to copy in this thing.
The azga language used to control snakes was much easier to learn than the Naga accent. However-it was useless even if one learned it, because the real difficulty was to establish a bond with this big fellow. This snake was raised by jobuya with his own blood since he was young, and only commands from him would be effective. Even if astello was here, he would not be able to use it.
However, cold-blooded creatures like snakes were extraordinarily loyal and would absolutely obey their master's orders.
"I didn't expect you to bring this."
Char sighed.
He was certain that the captured Joshua did not have this snake on him. Otherwise, he would have summoned it immediately. At that distance, even if the snake was not poisonous, it could turn him into snake shit in a breath.
It was obvious that this was the " supplies " that were replenished in the Blue Moon County. This meant that when the Army set out, jobuya had brought this snake to the Blue Moon County and settled it there. He had used some unknown method to deceive prisilia and became her helper in his escape.
The plot had changed so much that many things were beyond his knowledge.
According to the technology tree of the past, this awesome snake should not be able to be brought out as a tattoo yet ... His level would not exceed 50.
Moreover, jobuya had never been in such a decisive moment before. This time, it was as if he was staking everything on this one throw.
The method of hiding a snake was indeed cool, and it was hard to guard against. However, such a powerful spell came with a price. Once the one-week spell lost its effect, the little cutie's damaged vitality might take at least eight to ten years to recover.
Furthermore, once it lost too much blood in battle, it would devour the Prince's life force to make up for it ...
And even if he did escape from the mine, where would he go next?
Should he just grit his teeth and go to the ruins of lavosodran to seek refuge with his son?
This was too comical.
"I trust my instincts. This is my only chance."
Qiao Buya replied, his expression somewhat depressed.
as a captive. you're really ... What a joke."
He laughed at himself.
Char only let go after making sure that the old man was willing to cooperate.
As expected of an elderly Dark Elf gentleman, jobuya adjusted his bow tie the moment he landed. Then, he turned around and was stunned.
Lucia peeked out from behind Char and looked at the Prince mischievously, her eyes seemed to say, "I saw your predicament just now."
Joshua's eyelids twitched, and he stiffly made a bow.
"Your Majesty."
"Rise, Joshua."
Lucia pursed her lips and smiled.
"I didn't expect to see you again in such a place."
"This must be the night Lord's arrangement, Your Majesty." as far as I know, you're the one who built this secret passage, " Joshua said unhurriedly. I'm relying on it to leave this place. And then, of course, I met you. If it's a coincidence, isn't that a little too much?"
[Just a f*cking sow scratching an itch and rubbing it?]
Char was really shocked. This was the first time he had seen someone make a Prison Break, a slip-up, and getting caught by a fan so poetic.
"Since it's the Night Lord's arrangement, then I'm even more curious," Lucia did not expose him and directly said, "What's your next step, Minister Joshua?"
As soon as he finished speaking, as if the two of them had planned it in advance, Char quietly took out an invisible blade.
At the same time, he gave a harmless smile to Joshua.
