Chapter 1156 78. The body without a soul
Aliyana wanted to say something, but Tedder signaled her to stay quiet.
"Why do you want to block your last chance?"
Annan tried to maintain calm and did not say these threatening words, but instead said: "This is not the Prince Aidan I know. .”
“We haven’t known each other for a long time, haven’t we?”
"But I can feel that you are not an evil person..."
Annan somewhat understood why the succubus could still maintain a smile on the fat, dirty and bad-breathed guests, and he was almost the same now. .
"Evil? Of course I am not..." Prince Aidan's eyes were filled with compassion: "It's just that on the way to success, someone must sacrifice..."
"Even if it's your like-minded companion?"
“Even me.”
This road doesn't work...Prince Aidan doesn't think there's anything wrong with him.
"So what if I tell you that the path you are taking is wrong?"
Prince Aidan's shadow showed a smile: "How much older are you than me? ?”
Annan’s age is indeed unconvincing, but they all know that this is not the key, because even if an old man says this, Prince Aidan will say that the old man is stuck in stereotypes and is an outdated product.
"Then exchange hostages. You give me Irilanze, and I give you the 'King'."
The "King" who was listening suddenly opened his eyes wide, and then struggled violently, wanting to commit suicide so as not to burden Prince Aidan, but he could only let out a series of mournful sobs.
The vision of Prince Aidan looked at the "King", and it was his turn to understand Annan's dilemma.
"Okay."
Unexpectedly, Prince Aidan agreed: "She was in the tree house before us. I think you are familiar with it."
Annan tilted his head and said to Ariana: "Let him go."
The legendary elf mage did as he was told, and when the "King" was released, there was still disbelief on his face.
"Go quickly, as far away as possible. You will no longer participate in this matter, and no elves will catch you." Annan said to him.
Prince Aidan said: "Do as he said."
The "King" first saluted Prince Aidan, then bowed slightly to Annan with a complex look on his face, and walked out. .
Prince Aidan's illusion gradually faded away, leaving the other party with only one last look.
They both know in their hearts that when they meet again, they will be mortal enemies without friendship...
"Why don't you want Master Jade's child?" the legendary elf ranger said.
"His weight is not enough."
It was an unexpected surprise to get Yi Rulanze. Annan thought that Aidan would use her to force him to withdraw from the pursuit.
His original idea was to let the "King" see the true face of Prince Aidan, so as to find out their plans...
"You're not staring at the 'King', are you?" Annan asked.
“Do you want to remove it?” Ariana replied.
"Well... no, let's go find Irilanze first."
Prince Aidan's goal was still successful - he still succeeded in delaying Annan.
He quickly rushed to the wooden house where he lived before. As soon as he got close, Annan saw Yi Ruilanze leaning in front of the tree house where he had lived.
Annan breathed a long sigh of relief, but found that Tedder and others beside him fell silent.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Annan..." Tedder showed a trace of unbearability.
Annan then discovered that Yililanze's chest was not rising and falling...
Stunned, Annan walked to Yililanze and squatted down, reaching out to touch her mouth and nose. The soft skin was cold to the bone, without a trace of breath... "She..."
"Her soul is not here." The Skeleton King whispered.
Annan raised his head from his absence: "Are you saying that her soul has dissipated or..."
"I don't know."
Prince Aidan used Rudolph's The scene where Master Jade's child's soul was captured before his eyes appeared in his mind, Annan had a glimmer of hope, maybe the same was true for Yi Ruilanze...
Annan picked up Irilanze with difficulty, opened the portal, and sent her back to Liberty City.
Watching Abby and the maid hurriedly taking Yi Ruilanze, who seemed to be sleeping, to the bedroom, Annan withdrew his gaze.
“Where is the ‘King’?”
A few minutes later, Annan and the others appeared outside a dark tree hole.
Deep in the tree hole, the 'King' was leaning against the wall, his head hanging down, holding a blood-stained stone piece in his hand. The blood stained his clothes and lower body black.
He committed suicide.
With no time to lament the loyalty of the members of the Republic to Prince Aidan, Annan accelerated his pursuit of Prince Aidan.
But whenever they were close, Prince Aidan would teleport again, flashing several miles away, leaving a companion behind to delay them.
Those who stayed behind did not make the same mistake as the "King" and immediately activated the trap.
But as the elven help summoned by Annan arrived, the time this method could stop them became shorter and shorter.
In order to escape, Prince Aidan had to teleport continuously in a short period of time, and suffered a heavy price - his bright blond hair lost its former bright luster, and gradually became stained with an indescribable gray and dead air.
There was only one person following him. Prince Aidan did not let the members die for the delay of tens of seconds, but directly triggered the trap when Annan approached.
Horrifying firelight rose from all sides, forming a wide wall of fire around the giant tree where Prince Aidan was.
But the elves following Annan reacted quickly, and the elf mage group chanted in groups, forming a rain cloud over the burning forest.
The heavy rain has a cold touch, penetrating through the thick smoke and flames, suppressing the raging flames.
"Aidan! Where is Irilanze's soul!?"
Annan shouted towards Prince Aidan in the center.
"The 'King' has committed suicide, your companions are dead, and even you are suffering the price of the artifact. Is this what you want? Aidan Hernand!"
Annan shouted towards Prince Aidan in the center.
Prince Aidan stood in the rain, letting the rain wash over his face. His gray hair and once-luxurious clothes clung to his body, making him look particularly heavy.
He cast a glance, raised the Eye of Rudolph, and disappeared again.
"Damn..."
Annan's patience was almost exhausted in this cat-and-mouse game, and he couldn't understand what was the point of Aidan using his life to stop them?
“Is he deliberately stalling for time?”
At this time, Ariana used magic to condense a three-dimensional map of the Emerald City, with red lines representing their pursuit of Prince Aidan. route.
The route seems to be tortuous and aimless, but there is still an obvious pattern: from the periphery to the center of the green city, little by little.
It’s like...
“They are approaching the World Tree!” The legendary elf ranger’s pupils shrank suddenly.
“But if World Tree is Aidan’s goal, why doesn’t he go directly?”
“There’s not enough time.” Tedder said.
Annan and the others were chasing closely. If they ran directly towards the World Tree, they would only be overtaken. They would also be chased and intercepted because they were too obvious...
"So what does he want to do when approaching the World Tree?"
Tedel's voice was heavy: "No matter what it is... it's definitely not a good thing."
