A group of cool brilliance bloomed out, like an epiphyllum beginning to bloom, cold and elegant.
The long sword was wrapped in azure brilliance and unsheathed. It was so clear and sharp that it seemed to melt in the night. Some diamond-shaped dark patterns were spread all over the sword body, giving people the power of a beast roaring and bleeding for thousands of miles.
"Holy Sword!" Feeling the majestic sword energy, a trace of surprise flashed across Bai Xue's face.
Xia Han never expected that this sword could emit such a profound light. Then he withdrew his mind and glanced at the sword.
No...no!
Even after looking through the fine lines on the entire sword body, Xia Han still couldn't find any words. Wu Jing said that Wu Jian's burial address was engraved on the sword - why wasn't it?
"He lied to me!"
Xia Han clenched his sword and raised it angrily.
"Little guy, don't swing!" Bai Xue stopped him quickly, but it was still a little late.
A green sword shadow flew across quickly, and with two bangs it cut off a century-old tree on the side of the road.
Bai Xue and the elves took Xia Han to avoid the fallen trees.
"This is..." Xia Han looked at the sword in his hand and was surprised. He had never learned formal swordsmanship!
"This sword is not an ordinary sword. It absorbs the power of the sword holder to emit sword energy."
"I didn't expect that there are wizards in human countries who can add permanent magic to swords."
The elves whispered, no matter how sharp the sword is, it is just ordinary iron without blessing. Therefore, in order for a sword to become a holy sword, in addition to its own material, what is more important is that a powerful mage enchants the sword to turn it into an extraordinary thing.
However, enchantment has very high requirements for mages, and there are very few mages who can permanently change the body of a sword - holy swords are very rare.
"Fortunately little guy, you didn't use its characteristics."
Bai Xue watched Xia Han put the long sword back into the scabbard and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Each holy sword has its own unique power. The swing Xia Han just made didn't show it, otherwise the magic power in his body would be destroyed.
It was swallowed up.
Under normal circumstances, weak people cannot use powerful weapons.
"Little guy, don't pull out this sword casually in the future." Bai Xue lowered her head and warned, but found that Xia Han's thoughts were not on her.
He looked back with cold eyes.
"What's wrong?" When Bai Xue turned around, she saw a horse running quickly.
Human Bai Xue immediately put on his hood, and the elves were also on guard, but Xia Han walked out from among them.
"What are you doing here?" he asked the two people on horseback.
"Father asked me to give this to you."
The red-eyed Bai Yue was carried off the horse by Xiao Sheng. She looked at Xia Han with eyes full of hostility and disgust, but she still handed the package over. Xia Han, who took the package, opened it, took a look, and tied it up again.
"Bai Yue..." he said, looking at Bai Yue: "What is this?"
Crown - the king's headdress, Bai Yue replied, it is a treasure that combines glory, responsibility and power, and can only be worn by one person in the entire Jade Empire. The appearance of this treasure shakes everyone's hearts...except Xia Han.
He denied it: "Crown? It looks more like a cage to me."
"I didn't expect that your father would continue to restrain me after his death..." Thinking of the old and new grudges on the sword just now, Xia Han couldn't help but start laughing: "Only a fool would want this kind of thing!"
He threw the package back to Bai Yue.
"you!"
Bai Yue's face turned red with anger, anger burning in her eyes, but Xia Han ignored her again.
"You came just in time, there is nothing on this sword." He turned his eyes to Xiao Sheng and looked sharply: "Tell me, where is the sword buried?"
The scene was immediately enveloped in a brief silence. The elves didn't understand what he was saying. Bai Yue was shocked and Xiao Sheng sighed.
"I'm sorry...I don't know either." The knight lowered his head and replied: "The guardian and I were still fighting that night. I don't know how the Lord of the City killed her and where she was buried."
He didn't lie. Xia Han had been able to recognize Xiao Sheng's lies after spending several years with him, but at this moment he didn't lie.
"Wu Jian...she is dead?"
Bai Yue looked confused. For so many years, she thought Xia Han's maid had been fired.
"Yes, dead...killed by your father." Xia Han held the long sword. He once again lost the news of Wu Jian, and this time he will never know where she is buried.
The anger of being played welled up from the bottom of his heart, so much so that Xia Han's eyes flashed with murderous intent when he looked at Bai Yue: Wujing's blood was flowing in this girl's body.
He could kill Bai Yue at will. As early as that night when he rushed to Gale City, Xia Han poisoned Bai Yue's body with a handkerchief - he originally thought that one day he could use it as a back-up against Wu Jing, but he didn't expect it.
Wu Jing died so simply.
But Xia Han still let go of the hilt of the sword, Wu Jing finally saved him, and the girl was also an innocent person.
"Go away, I won't accept this."
After Xia Han finished speaking to her, he turned around and left with the elves.
He doesn't want to accept the crown, and what if he accepts it? You don't just wear the crown to become a king, the crown is a very secondary thing. Power, heritage, or the loyalty of the guardian... Xia Han has no involvement in the throne.
hope.
"He just tried to kill me."
Xia Han walked away, but Bai Yue was still in shock. For the first time, she felt the murderous intent of a person of her own age, the terrifying murderous intent. The two were obviously about the same age, but their powers were very different.
In Bai Yue's heart, Xia Han was just a princess who could sing and flatter, but she found that she was wrong again.
Why does Wu Jing want her to follow Xia Han? Why does Wu Jing want to kill Wu Jian?
"I don't know anything..."
Bai Yue was suddenly very scared: she had never understood the world, never understood what was happening. The world was so big, how could she survive alone without the protection of her parents?
She definitely won't survive... She has no family, no direction, she doesn't know which way to go.
"Miss, let's go too."
So, when Xiao Sheng was about to take Bai Yue away, the girl suddenly screamed. She hugged her head and huddled on the ground, trembling in fear.
"no, do not want..."
If she was an old housekeeper, Bai Yue might not have such fear, but the person responsible for protecting her is Xiao Sheng - this knight has not had much contact with Bai Yue. Bai Yue is not familiar with him, and does not even know his loyalty.
Unfamiliar people, a strange world, and upcoming monsters...
——Follow him...
Wu Jing's words echoed in Bai Yue's ears, follow Xia Han, follow him forever - he can lead her to live.
"Father...Father must be right..."
As if she had caught a life-saving straw, Bai Yue flew forward, chasing after the elves until Xia Han and the others stopped again.
"Please...please...take this."
Bai Yue trembled, holding up the package in fear, and then looked at Xia Han with pleading eyes: "Accept this crown... If your hatred comes from Wu Jian... Then I will become Wu Jian..."
She is just a child, already in turmoil in a series of turbulences: "I will be her, I will stay with you...I will be obedient, more obedient than anyone else...So...please.
..”
She just wants a place and direction to stay.
"what are you saying?"
Xia Han felt that something was wrong with Bai Yue's mental state, and he was a little baffled.
Why does this child want him to accept the crown so strongly? Everyone knows who is suitable to be the king in this country, so why would someone offer the crown to the 'Princess Songstress' who has no chance of winning? This fate is too weird...
Wait...destiny?
Xia Han suddenly shuddered, and an extremely ridiculous idea came to his mind: Could it be that... Bai Yue is the person around him who received the guardian mark?
The previous guardian didn't think highly of Xia Han, even if the mark was left on someone who hated him - Bai Yue hated him very much.
Xia Han didn't come into contact with many people - Bai Yue was relatively familiar among them.
The birth of a guardian requires fierce loyalty - the entire country, even Bai Yue, seems miraculously willing to hand over the crown to him.
"Won't..."
Xia Han swallowed, this fate was so ridiculous...it turned out that there was still such a possibility.
The conditions required for the Twilight King are: Xia Ming, Wu Jing's death (completed), the romance of the imperial princess (not completed), the first hidden condition (the guardian's allegiance, not completed), the second hidden condition...
Xia Han knew this second hidden condition from the beginning.
The second hidden condition is Qilin... Only by gaining the power of Qilin and becoming king will no one object. However, Xia Han cannot get the people and nobles to recognize any other method at once - and Qilin itself is a symbol of the supreme royal power.
.
But it is worthy of the legendary plot. Even if Xia Han knew all the conditions, he still had no chance of winning.
Even if he now guesses that Bai Yue has the mark of the guardian, it doesn't make much sense.
She just entered a paranoid state and would soon return to normal. Once she returned to normal, Bai Yue would calm down and hate Xia Han again... This disgust has lasted for several years, unless a miracle happens.
Make love', otherwise Bai Yue will definitely not be able to become a true guardian.
"...Ooooh...please...Ooooh..."
While Xia Han was in a daze, Bai Yue started to cry.
She cries too easily, just like other children her age.
"It's useless to cry." Xia Han said this, and then sighed: "Wu Jian never cries, you can't replace her."
In the end, he decided to refuse.
This is not because of the difficulty of the Twilight King, but because he can't find a reason to do it.
Becoming a king can increase a lot of faith in a short period of time, but the prospects are not optimistic. You can imagine what kind of constraints a king who destroyed the empire will suffer in the Suzaku Continent. It is estimated that it will be difficult to become a singer again.
His future freedom may be deprived, and the work of collecting faith will be extremely difficult.
It would be better to find a new way to collect faith as a free person - of course, the premise is that he must get rid of Bai Xue first.
