Chapter 407 "Don't you want to come back?"
A layer of mist appeared on the sea surface, ethereal and ethereal, as if it was far away.
I can barely see the farther scenery...
As the ship sails, the distance between the ship and the fog never changes.
Yu Zhizhi was blowing the wind on the deck. The sailing direction this time was completely different from that on the Shenhe ship before. She was approaching an unfamiliar territory.
As the ship moved forward, it gradually entered the foggy area.
The moment he entered the fog, Yu Zhizhi's heart skipped a beat!
This breath——
It always feels a bit familiar.
There was a hint of uneasiness deep in my heart.
The wild dog on the side also noticed the strange movement. Although various situations can occur at sea, and foggy weather like this is not uncommon, this time it seems that it is not a natural sky phenomenon, but a man-made influence.
He slowly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Deep in the fog, a mirage seemed to appear.
Yu Zhizhi looked up at the figure that was gradually emerging, her breathing stagnant: "Your Majesty the Duke...?"
The man's figure is ethereal, perhaps because of the angle, and looks like a statue of a god enshrined in a temple.
Is it me?
Or a puppet?
Or, is it projection?
Yu Zhizhi was extremely nervous, but she thought, maybe the Duke came here just to give her a ride?
She slowly took a step forward: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
The Duke in the mist looked over slowly. His golden vertical pupils were dark and dark, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: "Where are you going?"
"...territory." Yu Zhizhi told the truth: "The Imperial Alliance approved my application."
——It was passed.
But that was nothing more than a temporary move.
It was just to prevent her from choosing anyone in Jibing Palace.
The wild dog also recognized the man.
He silently stared at Duke Bolan in the mist.
"Which territory are you going to? Since you are married to Tang Locke, during this period, you will live back in the Imperial City of Valoran. If he is not here, I should ensure your safety."
Yu Zhizhi's heartbeat suddenly stopped!
The Duke is here to take her back to Valoran!
"No... no need for protection, I can take care of myself." Yu Zhizhi didn't want to go back.
Tang Locke is not here, she...
Don't want to go back.
What if the Duke still wants the green snake male to be her husband?
"Don't you want to come back?" The Duke in the mist seemed not surprised at all that the little rabbit would refuse, and the smile on his face became even stronger, "I'm afraid it's not up to you."
The wild dog calmly blocked Yu Zhizhi behind him.
The Duke glanced at him: "We meet again."
In order to go to the Chelsea territory to pick up the little female, he had contact with the newly promoted knight commander once.
The wild dog didn't say anything. He slowly pulled out the sharp sword at his waist. This move was enough to show his position.
The Duke looked at him indifferently: "Get out of the way."
The knight in black armor still stood in front of the rabbit female, motionless.
He had no intention of getting out of the way.
The fog gradually condensed into fog blades, which penetrated the clouds and rushed straight towards the knight's figure.
The wild dog raised the sword in his hand and split the sharp and hard fog blade. The impact was extremely harsh, the waves rushed in, the sailboat shook, and Yu Zhizhi's figure gradually became unstable.
She quickly hugged the wooden pole on the side and watched the wild dog being entangled by the fog blade. Every attack of the Duke was extremely powerful. The sharp sword in the wild dog's hand shimmered red, as if it was stained with blood, and even the white fog blade turned into a rose color.
"No matter how hard you persist, it's just a waste of time."
The Duke's golden snake eyes gradually darkened, and a huge python appeared behind him. The wind and waves became more violent, almost overturning the entire ship.
The fog became thicker, and Yu Zhizhi could barely see the scene three steps away, let alone the Duke in the distance.
Her heart almost rose to her throat: "Don't, don't fight..."
Yu Zhizhi had an ominous premonition.
The sound of howling wind and the sound of clashing sharp weapons could be heard in my ears. Occasionally, I could see a flash of red in the thick fog - was it the knight's sword?
Or his blood?
Yu Zhizhi was so worried that she couldn't control anything and could only move forward gropingly.
"Peace, peace..."
She called: "Are you in front?"
Following a clear groan and a bit of cold air, Yu Zhizhi bumped into a figure.
The wild dog reluctantly stopped, his black helmet cracked, and he fell suddenly.
Bang!
Yu Zhizhi finally saw the person in front of her clearly. She quickly supported his arm and felt a large amount of blood.
In the mist, the outline of the young knight was somewhat blurry.
She could vaguely see the long scar on his face.
"...Ann?"
She wanted to use the healing technique, but found that her mental power seemed to be "sealed" by something, and she could not mobilize it at all.
There is a vast expanse of white all around.
Yu Zhizhi couldn't see anything.
Wild Dog knelt on one knee. He suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and inserted the sharp sword in his hand into the deck in front of him.
The Duke's voice seemed to be coming from a very far away place, but also seemed to be floating in his ears.
"If you don't want this wild dog to die, just follow me."
Yu Zhizhi was extremely anxious: "Your Majesty, please stop fighting. I will go back with you..."
Although she wanted to go to the territory.
But she didn't want to see wild dogs die in front of her.
At the Duke's Mansion, Yu Zhizhi felt happy for him from the bottom of her heart when she saw that he could have a new life after saving his life by doing a side mission.
She couldn't use her healing talent now, and she could tell with just the naked eye that the wild dog's injuries were very serious.
In front of the ship, a cloud road leading into the distance appeared.
What the Duke meant was very obvious.
She must be taken away.
Yu Zhizhi said softly: "The commission...let's end it like this. When I go back, I will find a way to give you the reward."
The wild dog suddenly held her wrist: "Don't go."
The young knight's curly short hair was soaked with sweat. He slowly turned his head and stared closely at the rabbit female in front of him: "He can't hold on for long. As long as the fog dissipates, his breath can no longer be hidden. The moon rises and Deep sea, you can react quickly and they will come to save you.”
"Before that, let me protect you."
This was the longest sentence Yu Zhizhi heard from the wild dog after their reunion.
Dingo means...
As long as time passes, the Duke can't take her away?
But——
Yu Zhizhi was still very anxious. She shook her head: "No, no, you will die."
The Duke was determined to take her away.
If the wild dogs continued to block her, Yu Zhizhi didn't dare to think about what would happen next.
Dingo grasped the hilt of the sword in front of him and pulled the sword out of the deck.
After resting for a moment, he slowly stood up, dragging his scarred body.
His back was extremely straight.
"It doesn't matter."
"As long as it allows you to get what you want most."
"I could die."
She said she wanted freedom, and he was willing to risk his life in exchange for it.
