Chapter 2039 The Choice of Minor Characters
The story is divided into two parts, not to mention Rebecca who is rushing to the garden area at high speed under the [Damuse Navigation] and Cross Flower who has noticed some clues with her keen intuition. Grand Duke, as the fugitive emperor at this moment, Xinglong's forehead is already sweating a little.
It is true that the two Mirror Guards have been emphasizing how 'brave' His Majesty the Emperor is when reporting to their eldest lady, but in fact, even though Xinglong is indeed capable of being 'brave' words, but he was not without any pressure. On the contrary, the two troops had been entangled with him since he entered the garden area, causing him considerable trouble.
You must know that as the two most important private soldiers under the Grand Duke of Crossflower, although the members brought to the Garden District by Linda to participate in intercepting Sola Tea were not the elite among the elite, but the first among them. The second or even third echelon, but even so, as the core force of the Crossflower Family, the largest executioner family in the Cang Yue Empire, these people still have a considerable level of skill. Even the members who are not outstanding among them still have high-level standards. , and everyone has some skills that they can use.
So, in this case, even though these people made the mistake of underestimating the enemy and were restrained, they still caused a certain degree of trouble to Xinglong. For example, even though they tore open a thread at the fastest speed, Gap escaped the encirclement, but he put about three abilities on cooldown in the process.
Hour long cool down!
We must admit that although Xinglong can also be regarded as a talented player, strictly speaking, he and Mu Xuejian are completely different types of players. After all, if it were the latter here, Then the [Spring Breeze, Legs Weak for Three Days] debuff that forces all skills, talents, and props with a cooldown time of less than one hour into a one-hour CD is a joke. You must know that Miss Mu is the kind of sword. People who follow their hearts, in other words, are more idealistic in both combat system and skill system.
To make it clear, this female swordsman is not bound by the concept of [skills] at all, so she follows basic logic, such as, 'it is impossible to be in the semi-finals before the strength and dexterity attributes reach a certain level. In the case of "chopping twenty swords in seconds", as long as Mu Xuejian can do it, she can directly use her own understanding of swords to create the corresponding skills. And those who also have this ability, in this year's [ Among the top sixteen in the "Inquisition of Crime", only Futaba is the only one.
Of course, not breaking out of the shackles of skills does not prove that Xinglong is not strong, otherwise his ranking would not be firmly above Mu Xuejian and Shuangye, but in [One spring breeze, legs will be weak for three days] Under the influence of this DEBUFF, he must play very economically and carefully.
On the one hand, he has a limited number of skills and cannot afford to create them; on the other hand, although he is indeed trying his best in a sense, deep down, Xinglong still thinks that he He shouldn't have used all his cards in this battle with Rebecca, so it was inevitable that he would be a little constrained.
Therefore, with their hands tied and their strength and physique weakened by 45%, and the quality of the two cross-flower private soldiers being very high, the pressure on Xinglong's side suddenly increased.
[Normal attack]!
The moment he turned the corner, he held his breath and punched out, knocking away the mirror guard flying down from the eaves. Xinglong immediately gritted his teeth and increased his speed without using any displacement skills, but he just ran out. He was intercepted again after two steps, and this time there were six Huali scouts holding daggers in front of him.
"Your Majesty!"
The blond female elf headed by took a step forward and persuaded earnestly: "Stretching your neck is just like a knife, and shrinking your neck is also a knife. Why don't you just follow us to find it? Your Highness, please speak clearly. Our eldest lady has said that as long as you coax Your Highness Belika, she will apologize to you in any way you want her to apologize later."
"No need."
Xinglong shook his head, and while quickly observing the surrounding environment, he said casually: "I feel guilty, and I don't need anyone to apologize. I just want to go back with you... I'm sorry. It’s hard to obey.”
“Your Majesty. Ah."
The elf with sweat on his forehead swallowed hard and said with a sad face: "Don't make things difficult for us people today..."
"It's like this, you guys. Resign and stop doing this.”
Xinglong took a deep breath, and a faint cyan energy began to circulate around his arms. He actually began to persuade the other side to surrender: "I will form a guard in a while, and the treatment will be ten times what you are now. If you are interested, If you do, just send me back to the palace, and the reward will be huge.”
“It’s a deal, Your Majesty.”
But the elf’s eyes lit up immediately and he said excitedly. I don’t need ten times the current salary, just five times... no, three times! As long as you promise to give me at least three days off every month, I will escort you back to the palace now!"
" Don’t talk about three days of leave.”
Xinglong waved his hand and showed his imperial style: “We can discuss five days of leave!”
"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"
The other party knelt down on one knee and saluted Xinglong without saying a word, then stood up and hurried over, saying anxiously: "Then let's set off quickly. Before the eldest lady notices it...eh?"
The elf is dumbfounded. He looked down at Xinglong's index finger on his waist. Just as he was about to say something, he rolled his eyes and fainted. Those around him had already received the captain's signal and were preparing to swarm up and subdue Emperor Solacha after he took action. The Huathorn scouts were also stunned, completely unaware of what happened.
But although they were stunned, Xinglong was not stunned for a second. He casually picked up the dead blond elf and threw it over. Then he jumped directly on the spot and hit the wall twice. After a few kicks, he turned directly to another street. In the process, he slapped back the only scout who jumped up with his backhand, and he quickly escaped from the encirclement of several people.
However——
【Continuing like this is not an option. 】
Looking back and moving along the street at high speed, Xinglong’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he concluded that under this density of blockage, several main roads leading from the Garden District to the Royal District might have been blocked immediately. There is a blockage, and facts have proven that as long as you move in the direction leading to the palace area, whether you take a roundabout way or take a shortcut, you will encounter blocking troops in a short time.
That's right, you don't even need to deliberately distinguish it. Now that the imperial capital has been under martial law, except for Xinglong himself, anyone walking outside is basically a hostile unit, although in a sense These so-called hostile units would not kill him, and their attitude was even extremely respectful. However, Xinglong knew very well that once caught by these people, he would only end up being sent to Rebecca. In other words In other words - die!
【We can only take a detour. 】
Although he knew that every second counts now, Xinglong finally decided in desperation not to try to enter the Royal District directly from the Garden District, but to take the Garden District → Trade District → Canal → Royal District. This is a route that costs at least twice as much time but is safer.
Therefore, Xinglong, who had made up his mind, no longer hesitated. After confirming that he had temporarily escaped from his pursuers through [Wang Qi], he immediately changed direction without hesitation and ran eastward along the less traveled path.
According to the topographic map that Leonardo gave to Xinglong, his current location is very close to the main road leading to the trade area from the Garden District. If nothing happens, he can be silent in five minutes at most. He walked into the shopping street outside the trade area, and the environment there was definitely one of the most complex in the imperial capital. It was much easier to escape than the garden area with open terrain and pleasant scenery!
However, just as Xinglong was already planning his escape route after arriving at the trade area, a black shadow came whistling from a distance with strong winds without warning.
【Punch】!
Without any hesitation, Xinglong immediately activated his usual skill [Punch], and intercepted the attack at the cost of changing the skill's CD to one hour.
It was not because he was frightened by this sudden and sharp sneak attack, but Xinglong knew very well that if he had not used his skills to block it just now, but had used ordinary attacks like he did when he fought with the private soldiers of the Cross Flower Family, The best outcome would probably be a dislocated arm.
You know, even if Xinglong just used a [punch] without hesitation, he failed to successfully break or knock down the shield, but watched it fly away in front of his eyes. He returned to the hands of a short dwarf with thin hair a few meters away.
"Hello, His Majesty the Emperor." Wearing the standard plate armor of the garrison, the middle-aged dwarf who looked like a tin can was sweating and rubbing the shield on his arm, and respectfully greeted Xinglongxing. He gave a gift: "I am the Mirror Guard of the Crossflower Family, Blastbolt Kazwe. I have come to arrest you on the order of the eldest lady. If you have offended me, please be sure to go to my eldest lady when you settle the accounts later. You will not be afraid of anything." Linda Bresne, please don’t hold third-class servants like me, Baku Shuan Kazwe, responsible, thank you.”
Xinglong walked towards the latter. , frowning and said: "I remember that the Mirror Guards of the Cross Flower Family should all wear mirror masks, right?"
"Uh..."
The dwarf choked, then coughed slightly, and said seriously: "I came out in a hurry today, and I left it at home."
"And your equipment... ..."
Xinglong raised his eyebrows and pointed at the plate armor suit that looked like a can: "It should be from the garrison, right?"
"..."
The dwarf's expression froze and he was immediately speechless.
And Xinglong took a breath and asked: "So you are the Propionaldehyde Fernan who has a good personal relationship with Linda and serves as the deputy captain in the garrison. ”
“No!”
After failing to pretend to be someone who didn’t exist, Propionaldehyde Fernan immediately let out a panicked scream.
"I'm in a hurry, Mr. Propionaldehyde."
While Xinglong adjusted his breathing, he tried to persuade the other party for the last time and said sternly: "If you let me go now, Emperor Solacha will owe you a favor."
"Your favor is very great. Tempting, Your Majesty."
However, Propionaldehyde took off the shield on his arm with a bitter look on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "But Duke Linda's threat is even more terrifying!"
< br>Buzz——! ! !
The next second, the seemingly plain and simple round shield suddenly flew out, and suddenly split into eight pieces as it roared towards the awakening dragon, carrying something indescribable. A sense of oppression enveloped Xinglong.
【Bengquan】!
Clearly knowing that the opponent in front of him was of considerable background, Xinglong no longer skimped on his skills at this moment, punching out with a punch, creating a gap in the surrounding circle of shields. And he was knocked out of it by a burst of cyan energy, and rushed straight in front of Propionaldehyde Fernan, with his right fist thrust out like lightning——
[Inch Jin·Black Crow Bite]
Bang! ! !
With a deafening roar, Xinglong's right fist hit the center of Propionaldehyde Fernan's arms folded in front of his chest firmly. , the inch force that directly hit the latter's body, but directly It exploded in front of Fernan, so that although the scene effect was very gorgeous, only Xinglong himself knew that the power of this move had been weakened by at least 70%, and the remaining impact was absolutely impossible to deal with in front of him. The gnome deals no substantial damage.
And at the same time, the shield that flew out two seconds ago was quietly rejoined, and hit the awakening dragon from behind at a faster speed than when it was thrown out just now.
“Is it magnetism?”
Keeping notice of the several circles of red lines on the propionaldehyde gauntlets that seemed a bit inconsistent, Xinglong asked casually, and then Pushing out a palm without looking back——
[Cloud-Piercing Palm·Second Style: Overturning the Rain and Turning the Clouds]
I saw a burst of energy that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and came down. In an instant, when Propionaldehyde Fernan's eyes suddenly widened, his shield disintegrated again in mid-air, turning into at least a dozen parts scattered on the ground, without touching a corner of Xinglong's clothes.
Not only that, almost at the same time, Xinglong's free left hand was imprinted on his chest at the moment when Propionaldehyde was distracted, and he used a [Dragon Roar] mercilessly.
The next moment, I saw Propionaldehyde Fernan's body shaking violently. Just when he opened his mouth to say something, he suddenly spat out after a dragon head-shaped energy came out from his back. Bloody, he staggered and fell.
"Sorry."
Xinglong didn't hesitate at all. After the propionaldehyde fell, he immediately ran past him and rushed into the adjacent garden without looking back. area’s trade area.
And then...
Propionaldehyde Fernan got up from the ground quickly, looked around and waved his hand, gathering the shield [fragments] scattered on the ground within three meters with himself as the center, and briefly After hesitating, he patted his chest gently, squirted blood again, then laughed contentedly, and lay back on the ground.
He is just a small character who was caught by the Crossflower Duke for abusing his power. He cannot offend Linda Bresne, nor can he offend Emperor Solacha, so this is the best thing to do now result.
However, although the propionaldehyde achieved satisfactory results, Xinglong, who broke into the trade area on the other side, encountered obstacles again!
It’s still the Mirror Guard and the Flower Thorn, but this time, the extent of these people’s mercy is——
very limited!
