Episode 18 God's Will, Section 1 Charm of the Human Race 3-4
Stuck in a tree hole, Corey could only helplessly watch Princess Qian leave.
Just when Corey was tied up by magic and trapped in a tree hole, calling the sky and the earth useless, Princess Qian used a rainstorm magic to hide in the heavy rain and landed in Thunder Eagle City.
Lace was praying in the big temple at this time, which was something she had to do every day.
Everything is just to pray for Corey's safety and for the human race to survive this crisis. Every day after dinner, Lace will come to the temple.
Princess Qian didn't know Lace, so she hid in an alley after entering Thunder Eagle City.
This is the inner city of Thunder Eagle City. In addition to some special dignitaries from Yasi who have residences here, the most famous mercenary groups, chambers of commerce, swordsmanship unions, and magicians unions in the entire continent all have offices here.
The scale was originally larger than their headquarters.
From the balcony of a small hotel, Princess Qian got a set of women's long skirts, tied up her hair like a woman on the street, and walked out to the street after dressing up. Princess Qian had heard Keri say before,
Pubs are the places with the most information. I started looking for the pub that Corey mentioned on the street.
Finally, she saw a tavern at the corner of the street, and Princess Qian walked in without hesitation.
There were not many people in the tavern at this time, and they were sitting in twos and threes. Princess Qian found an unoccupied table and sat down, and a bartender immediately came to greet her.
"Dear lady, what would you like to order?"
Princess Qian didn't dare to speak. She couldn't speak the human language well, for fear of being seen by others. She had no choice but to point to her mouth and then her belly.
"Miss, you want to order something to eat or drink." The bartender guessed what Princess Qian meant. Princess Qian nodded and took out the bag that Kerui originally carried, intending to find coins and other things to pay the bartender.
The shining purple token is inlaid with nine gorgeous gems. The short knife with the Yasi royal emblem is made of a piece of wood. There is a wooden plaque inlaid with gems, but there is nothing that looks like a coin. The bartender looked at it with an increasingly expression on his face.
Get heavy.
With great difficulty, Princess Qian found a ring in the bag and handed it to the bartender.
The bartender took the ring with both hands and forced a smile on his face: "Please wait a moment, miss, your dinner will be served soon."
Princess Qian let out a sigh of relief and regretted why she didn't find a place to get some coins just now, so that she wouldn't be in such a mess. As she thought about it, she put the things in the bag and put them away again.
The bartender returned to the counter, loudly announced the menu, then blocked Princess Qian's sight and handed the ring to the owner of the tavern.
"This, this is not something that ordinary people can have." The boss looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he thought that this thing was extraordinary. "Find someone to go to the house and ask them to send someone with good vision to come over. I feel like that person
Miss is a little strange."
The bartender thought the same way. He was wearing clothes worn by ordinary girls, but he could bring out such expensive things. There must be something wrong with him.
Princess Qian's dinner was served to the table. In addition to the variety, the boss also specially added some ingredients.
It was getting dark and there were more and more people in the tavern.
At this time, several men with swords walked in, dressed like members of a certain mercenary group, but Princess Qian couldn't tell this.
"Wine, the strongest wine." The leader put the sword on the table and shouted at the bartender.
Hearing the shouts of several people, almost everyone in the tavern turned their attention to the clock in the middle. The hands of the clock were pointing at eight forty.
Suddenly, a person at the table next to him slammed the table hard, stood up, and punched the man who had just asked for a drink.
When these people just came in, before they had time to fight back, people in the tavern attacked them and drove a few of them out with beatings and kicks. Outside the tavern, a sword was stuck on the ground, which was a sign of a duel.
The people in the tavern threw out their swords and magic wands in response to the request for a duel.
Just as the two sides were at war with each other, several mercenaries wearing the same colors as them arrived.
One of them clasped his hands in fists and said, "We are new here, so I don't know what I can do to offend you."
Seeing that the other party was speaking politely, the strong man who was the first to hit him took a step forward and returned the salute: "You can't drink before nine o'clock. This is the rule of Thunder Eagle City. Since you are here, you must abide by the rules here."
.”
The man who was beaten out was very unconvinced: "Who made these rules? I didn't receive official notification when I entered the city."
The strong man who spoke smiled coldly and picked up his sword from the ground: "Let's do it and stop talking nonsense."
"Don't, don't." The mercenaries who came later hurriedly stood in front of the two of them: "When we entered the city, we read the city guard's announcement, but there was no such article in it. It seems a bit unworthy to fight for such a reason.
.”
"Okay, I see you are very polite. This rule is not official. Miss Lace goes to the Great Temple to pray at seven o'clock every day. During the Nine War Period, all the taverns in Thunder Eagle City will not sell alcohol, and no one is allowed to drink.
, that’s the rule. No one in Thunder Eagle City doesn’t know it.”
Upon hearing this, the faces of the mercenaries who were angry just now changed drastically.
"Sorry, it's our first time in Thunder Eagle City and we don't understand the rules."
The owner of the tavern ran out at this time. Seeing that the fight was no longer possible, he stood in front of both parties: "Well, it's already past nine o'clock. I'll treat you all to a drink. Come on, come on, please come inside."
The mercenaries who were beaten just now lowered their heads, but they entered the tavern at the invitation of the tavern owner. The leader put a bag of coins on the counter: "Today, our brothers are rude. Let's drink the wine tonight."
We invited."
There was a constant sound of wine glasses being knocked on the table in the tavern.
In this case, they treat guests, and if the people in the tavern do not accept the treat, they are looking down upon them.
When the owner of the tavern returned to the counter, he did not forget to take a look at where Princess Qian was sitting. He frowned when he saw that Princess Qian was eating with gusto.
Princess Qian saw what happened just now and heard every word clearly.
Princess Qian knew that this Lace should be the person that Kerui had been thinking about all day long, but what Princess Qian couldn't figure out was why everyone in the city couldn't drink when this Lace entered the temple to pray.
"This first cup is a tribute to the Thunder Eagle King."
"Here's to the Thunder Eagle King!" Everyone in the tavern except Princess Qian raised their glasses.
Thunder Eagle King, this is the folk name for Corey.
"Second cup!" The person who had been beaten just stood up and raised his glass: "To Miss Lace, the most trusted Miss Lace of the Thunder Eagle King, the kind-hearted Miss Lace."
All the drinkers in the tavern stood up again. Just like before, they held their glasses high for a moment before drinking. At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Miss Lace is our goddess."
"A toast to the goddess." Many people shouted.
Princess Qian was very unhappy that an ordinary human woman was called a goddess. This made her more and more interested in this lace.
While the drinkers were drinking, two men wearing long cloaks came in from the door of the tavern and went directly to the counter.
"That's the lady over there. We were drugged during the meal just now, but there was no reaction at all." The owner of the tavern handed over the ring and pointed in the direction of Princess Qian.
"What else does he have?" one of them asked.
The tavern owner thought for a moment: "There is also a wooden sign with gems inlaid on it. A very beautiful short knife, definitely not an ordinary person's item. The emblem on it looks like a royal one. By the way, there is also a piece of purple crystal.
The token is inlaid with countless gems. There are also many other small things, all of which are extremely valuable."
The two people who came were silent, looked at each other and nodded. They said to the tavern owner: "You don't have to worry about it. Come down and leave it to us. There shouldn't be a woman of this age among the Yasi royal family now.
There is a problem."
Putting away the rings, the two walked towards the table where Princess Qian was sitting.
One person sat opposite Princess Qian, and the other stood guard next to him holding the hilt of his sword.
"Miss, where did this thing come from?"
Princess Qian looked up at the two of them, ate the last bite on the plate, and wiped her mouth gracefully with a handkerchief.
"Who are you?" The man next to him had his sword unsheathed.
Princess Qian smiled sweetly, but still didn't answer. Faced with Princess Qian's contemptuous expression, the man with the sword slashed hard, targeting only the hair accessories on Princess Qian's head, intending to scare Princess Qian.
The long sword felt like it was hitting an iron pillar. Everyone in the tavern could see clearly that Princess Qian blocked the long sword with just one finger, and there were already cracks where the long sword came into contact with Princess Qian's fingers.
The person sitting there suddenly jumped up, took out his iron whistle and blew it hard.
"Brothers, come on." Everyone in the tavern knows that this whistle is the whistle used by the senior guards of Thunder Eagle City for rescue. When the whistle sounds, all the city guards who hear the whistle will rush there. Inside the tavern
The drinkers also spontaneously organized themselves and planned to help in the battle.
Princess Qian sneered, waved her jade hand lightly, and the strong wind attack magic blew away everything in front of her.
The other hand flashed with red light, and the advanced fire attack magic was about to be activated. At this moment, Princess Qian suddenly remembered her promise to Corey not to harm any human race. She sighed softly, put away the magic, and flew out.
Tavern. Run to a place with fewer people.
"This, this is too strong." The two senior city guards helped each other to stand up. Suddenly they saw the bag dropped by Princess Qian and rushed forward to grab it in their hands.
After opening the bag, the knowledgeable people in the tavern immediately recognized that the dagger was a royal item.
"This, this token." A mercenary couldn't help but quietly touched the token in his arms, because he recognized it as Ye Yu's token, although he couldn't tell whether it belonged to Ye Yu based on his level.
Who can be sure that this is Ye Yu’s token.
"Quickly, report to Lord Krause." The two of them closed their bags and one of them ran towards the City Guards Mansion.
On the other side, Princess Qian saw people everywhere, and suddenly thought that the human race's great temple was a place that ordinary people could not enter. She might not be able to distinguish other buildings, but the human race's great temple was modeled after their divine race.
built in the style.
Entering the big temple, there were really not many people here. Princess Qian hid in the main hall. She took out a few bottles of juice that she had just taken when she escaped and took a sip. She felt that the food of the human race was really first-class.
At the same time, in the city guard mansion, Krauser, who heard the alarm, was already standing on the school grounds, ready to send out a large team of troops at any time. But at this moment, a senior guard holding a bag rushed in.
After briefly describing the situation just now, Krauser's expression changed, he grabbed the bag and dumped everything on the table.
"Marshal Yasi's token, royal dagger, Thunder Eagle mercenary group leader card...
Listening to Krauser read, without any explanation, the officials present could all assume that these items must be Corey's belongings.
"The whole city is under martial law. Find me that woman alive at any cost." Krauser said every word, his eyes almost spitting out fire.
Krauser's adjutant immediately said: "Don't notify Mr. Smollett of Thunder Eagle, and Miss Lace." Krauser nodded: "You go find Smollett yourself, and I, I'll go see Miss Lace.
"
When Krause rushed to Corey Mansion, for the first time since the founding of the Thunder Eagle city, the city-wide first-level combat readiness alert was issued. Nine consecutive red magic bombs exploded in the air. Immediately afterwards, nine units of the Thunder Eagle mercenary group
The sentry sword soared straight into the sky. Before the sentry sword could fall, emergency gathering orders from various mercenary groups and swordsman associations were issued, and all the gates of Thunder Eagle City were blocked.
Standing in the garden, Lace saw these flares in the sky and was about to send someone to inquire about the situation. Krauser had already rushed to her.
"Miss Lace!" Krauser held the bag and didn't know what to say.
Lace recognized the bag at a glance. She had made it for Corey herself, so she ran over and grabbed it.
"Master, what happened to the master?"
"Miss Lace, I don't know yet, but this bag appears in the hands of a woman. This woman is very powerful. According to reports from people who have fought with her, she can activate wind attack magic that is similar to high-level magic with just a wave of her hand.
.But she seemed to have no intention of hurting anyone, and left quietly after being forced to retreat."
Krauser told Lace everything he knew.
Slowly walking to the pool in the garden, Lace took off her ring and chanted a spell and placed it on the water. Soon the water rippled and circles of golden light flashed out.
The image of the Dragon King appeared on the water. Seeing that it was lace, the Dragon King responded with a smile.
"Dear Your Majesty the Dragon King, I am very scared." Lace folded her arms, tears streaming down her face, and told her what Krause had said intermittently, and even took out Corey's things to show to the Dragon King.
After hearing this, the Dragon King immediately understood what was going on. He also guessed that the person holding Kerui's things should be Princess Qian, but the Dragon King also couldn't figure out why Princess Qian came to Thunder Eagle City alone, and Kerui now
Where should it be.
Thinking of this, the Dragon King asked Lace: "You can order the entire Thunder Eagle City to be searched. Corey will be fine. I have a life contract with him. If anything happens to him, I will die."
Lace then waved to Krause, who bowed to the Dragon King very respectfully.
"The whole city has been put under martial law."
"Okay, let's keep it like this for now, girl Lace. If you're worried, just go to the big temple and pray." The Dragon King suddenly said to Lace.
Lai Si nodded and wiped the tears from her face. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the Dragon King say again: "While Lai Si is praying, no one should approach the big temple."
After the Dragon King finished speaking, the image on the water disappeared. The ring flew back into Lace's hand.
Lace was leaving, and Krauser suddenly stood in front of Lace: "Wait a moment, please listen to what I'm about to say."
"General Krauser, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"I think His Majesty the Dragon King has already guessed who the woman is. And that woman is probably in the Great Temple, but I don't understand why His Majesty the Dragon King asked you to go to the Great Temple alone. What if there is danger?
manage."
Krauser analyzed what he was thinking one by one to Lace, and Lace had to believe that Krauser's analysis was correct.
"I must go, no matter how dangerous it is." Lace had a firm expression on her face.
After analyzing so much, Krauze originally advised Lace to talk to the Dragon King again, firstly to confirm the identity of the other party, and secondly to confirm whether there was any danger, but unexpectedly, it strengthened Lace's determination to go to the Great Temple. In desperation,
Take out a gem.
"Miss Lace, if there is any danger, just throw the gem to the ground hard. I will be outside the big temple."
"Thank you, Mr. Krauser." Lace thanked her and grabbed the gem in her hand.
Lace entered the Great Temple, and Krause summoned the outstanding experts in Thunder Eagle City to gather outside the Great Temple, and the search of the entire city was stopped.
At this time, everyone in the big temple had evacuated, and Lace entered the main hall. She knelt down facing the statue and began to pray.
Princess Qian, who was sitting behind the statue to rest, had already sensed someone coming in, especially when she heard the person praying reciting her name. It was Lai Si. Her curiosity aroused and she secretly looked out from behind the statue.
Lace is dressed in pure white, with a small pink flower on her head and a green ribbon tied around her waist. Her delicate face makes Princess Qian indescribably fond of her.
"God, God." Princess Qian listened to Lace's prayer, and a naughty thought arose in her heart, and she silently activated the Holy Light Descending Magic, the highest level of light magic.
At this time, it was already night, and Krauze and others were waiting anxiously outside the Great Temple.
Suddenly, a ray of light in the sky shined directly on the roof of the main hall of the Great Temple. The intense pure white light made the surroundings of the Great Temple look like daytime.
"God has come. Miss Lace's prayer moved God." The soldiers shouted and fell to their knees one after another, including Krauser and others.
Under the gaze of everyone, a figure with white wings descended from the sky and fell into the great temple.
"It's really God who has come." Krause's high-hanging heart finally let go. He firmly believed that since Lace's prayer could be answered by God, then God would definitely protect Lace from harm.
In the main hall, Lai Si looked excitedly at the figure slowly descending in front of the statue.
Princess Qian had long thrown away the ordinary human women's clothes behind the statue, and wore her own clothes, with the white wings on her back stretched out to the fullest.
"You are praying for the one you love." Princess Qian asked Lace in the half-baked human language she learned from Corey. Lace hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Yes, please keep the young master safe."
"Answer me, would you be willing to exchange your life for his?" Princess Qian held back her smile and asked mischievously. Her eyes were fixed on Lace's reaction.
Lace raised her head high and said without any hesitation, "I do."
A handful of ice spikes appeared in front of Lace. "He is in danger now. Use your life to exchange for his life." Princess Qian hated Lace a little. She couldn't explain the reason herself. Maybe it was because Corey treated Lace too much.
Okay.
Lace picked up the ice spike, held it with both hands, and stabbed it toward her heart.
Just when the ice spike touched Lace's skin, it suddenly turned into a burst of white mist and disappeared into the air.
"Oh! It's so boring." Princess Qian retracted her wings and sat on the ground. Lace looked at Princess Qian blankly, then looked at her hands, feeling that everything was so incredible.
Princess Qian yelled several times to vent her unhappiness.
Seeing the confusion on Lai Si's face, she said to Lai Si: "Okay, if you die, that guy will definitely hate me, and I don't want him to hate me."
"You, are you really a god?" Lai Si looked at Princess Qian infatuatedly.
Princess Qian shook her hair with her hand: "In fact, there is nothing wrong. To you humans, our Gods are gods. This kind of large temple was built a long time ago according to the preferences of our Gods. I have checked the structures in your temples.
The languages used in some of the classics are the language of our divine race."
Princess Qian spoke of the gods, and when she heard Lai Si, she was very excited. She took a few steps forward and knelt down: "Then, please save our young master. I don't know how he is doing now."
"Ah, him, he should be sleeping in a tree hole in the eastern mountains now. I thought he would arrive here in the next two days." Princess Qian said and laughed: "I really didn't expect that you could actually do this.
For him, I gave up my life without hesitation."
"My life belongs to the young master." Lace replied softly.
"Tell me your story. His name here is Ray Corey. Listening to his own words, he is still a big shot." Although Princess Qian was not proficient in the human language, Lace could still vaguely understand what was going on.
meaning.
Hearing what Princess Qian said, Lace was very surprised to see Princess Qian: "Honorable God, you seem to know my young master."
