Chapter Six: Where the Human King's Bones Are Buried
()(Qixi Festival provides all tomorrow’s chapters for all of you who are also lonely, and I wish all lovers in the world will become brothers and sisters. In addition, thank you Daniel for your powerful reward!)
After figuring out the truth about unlimited mana, Xia Han began to think of ways to exercise within a few days. The long period of imprisonment made his body more fragile than other children. Such a fragile body could not support the burden of magic conversion.
Dying young is not a good word.
So after the pain subsided, Xia Han left Bai Xue's arms, and he decided to follow Bai Xue forward in a down-to-earth manner. However, this plan not only reduced Bai Xue's burden, but also slowed down the progress of the two of them.
Xia Han walked on the boundless grassland, and he found that the biological constitution of this world was obviously better than that of the earth. Xia Han's legs became sore within two hours of walking at first, but he adapted to it in just a few days and was able to persist for a long time.
It’s been a long journey.
Every time he took a break, Bai Xue would crush the green leaves picked on the road and smear them on Xia Han's legs.
This green leaf has three diamond-shaped leaves, which is somewhat different from the clover on the earth. Bai Xue claims that this grass symbolizes the Creator’s blessing to the world. Because it grows in every corner of the world where the sun shines, it has medicinal properties.
Allowing it to heal minor injuries and fatigue simply by crushing it.
‘Mitsubishi grass’ – this is its name. Although its medicinal effect is low, it is very suitable for use with other medicinal herbs to make medicines. It has saved countless lives over tens of thousands of years.
"It is said that one four-legged grass will be born out of every 20,000 three-legged grass. Only a truly sincere person can find it. And most medicines can greatly increase their effectiveness by adding four-legged grass. The resulting new medicines are almost
It can heal any pain." What Bai Xue said made Xia Han feel peaceful.
[Isn't this similar to the relationship between clover and four-leaf clover?] He thought like this and didn't care about the efficacy of four-leaf clover for a moment. He still doesn't understand the importance of learning to make potions in this world.
At the same time, Xia Han continued to practice magic control. Like every child who learns something new, a setback did not hinder his desire for power, but this time he still determined two things from the illustrated book.
thing.
1: His body will be damaged when absorbing and converting magic power, but he can still cast several times more spells than other mages despite the endurance.
Two: His body will gradually become stronger due to growth, practice and upgrading, and can withstand more magic conversion. And when the body is strong to a certain level, he will not have to worry about the damage to the body caused by magic conversion.
.
After confirming these two things, Xia Han learned to cast spells in a controlled manner. He kept casting spells about fifty times a day. This frequency, combined with the fatigue of the journey, would reach the peak before going to bed every day. He applied medicinal herbs to sleep
Then, the next day he was full of energy again.
Time passed like this for six days day by day. Xia Han even thought that he had escaped from the shadow of the empire. The future before him was already a free and wonderful world!
However, on the night of the sixth day, a feeling of being watched enveloped Xia Han in his sleep.
"I found you, my dear nephew..."
A young man wearing a crown appeared in his dream, and his smiling face instantly woke Xia Han up.
"Little guy!" Bai Xue woke up. She focused her eyes on Xia Han's forehead and took a breath: "The hole is like an open flame, it's a blood tracing technique!"
On Xia Han's forehead, a red light spot flickered on and off.
"Bloodline tracking?" Xia Han covered his forehead, feeling hot all over his body, but somehow he understood the meaning of Bai Xue's words - someone traced his location based on bloodline.
"Blood tracing is a very advanced spell, and it requires at least three legendary mages to work together." Bai Xue stared at it for a while, then slowly said: "I thought that all the elites of the Jade Empire were killed or injured five years ago.
, now that I think about it, I still underestimated you humans.”
"However, the real subject of bloodline tracking is not you, but other people related to your bloodline. Little guy... do you feel who the other person is?"
Xia Han frowned. He had not forgotten the person in his dream: "It's my uncle...the current king."
"Impossible!" Bai Xue categorically denied: "This spell is burning the blood of the recipient. Which king will pay such a high price for you?"
"Why not?" Xia Han snorted: "He wants me to die in his dreams."
The current king is cautious and suspicious, and will not let go of even a baby for the sake of the throne. Xia Han has been living like a mouse for five years, and now his escape just gives the king a reason to kill him.
We can no longer move forward slowly.
"Little guy, we've caught him." Bai Xue picked up Xia Han, held him in his arms and ran forward: "You can also know about the bloodline tracking, so your uncle will definitely arrange the siege without any risk.
Net, we have to run quickly."
"Um."
Xia Han put his arms around Bai Xue's neck and looked at the distant weeds around him: "But sister Bai Xue, are you going in the wrong direction?"
Why does he think Bai Xue is running south? Isn't the Suzaku Continent in the north?
"Don't worry, I've traveled around the world for decades and I haven't made the wrong direction many times." Bai Xue patted Xia Han on the back, and then explained: "There's no point running north if your location is revealed, it's better to hide first."
"There is a place not far from the south that has been shrouded in thick fog all year round. Let's go there to hide for a while and wait a few days before we come out." Bai Xue raised the corner of her mouth and smiled maliciously: "Blood tracking burns blood. I
I would like to see how long that king can last."
Xia Han suddenly realized, he rolled his eyes: "I see...Sister, how old are you?"
"Three hundred and twenty, eh, eh..."
Inadvertently, Bai Xue told her age. She stopped and picked up Xia Han with her hands: "Don't you little guy know that it's rude to ask a woman's age?"
No wonder she didn’t even let go of her children when she came out to find her husband—a 320-year-old virgin, how hungry she is!
Xia Han shuddered: "...I'm just curious."
"Although I don't know what you are thinking, why do I always feel like you are not like a child sometimes?" Bai Xue squinted and stared at Xia Han for a long time, then shook his head and hugged him and continued running: "Elf's concept of time and human beings
It’s different. As a human being, I would only be in my early twenties.”
The growth cycle of humans in this world is the same as that on Earth, but the maturity period is longer, and the average age has reached two hundred years. If you calculate this, elves can live for at least several thousand years.
"So sister, how long can I live?" Xia Han suddenly became curious.
"You?" Bai Xue hugged her hands slightly: "The stronger the person, the longer he lives. I will let you live as long as me."
She did not answer Xia Han's words directly, because the life span of children born from different races is shorter than that of their parents' race. Children of humans and elves cannot even live to be fifty years old unless they are heroes.
"..."
Xia Han, who found something unusual in Bai Xue's words, didn't say anything. He curled his lips in disappointment, but didn't feel much.
He is a man who wants to gather the world's faith and become a god. As long as he practices, he doesn't have to worry about his age. Compared to this... becoming a pig is the most cruel and inhumane thing!
[But having said that, it is better to collect faith to become a king. 】
Although Xia Han has no interest in the throne, when he thinks about it rationally, the most convenient position to collect faith is the king of a country. Unfortunately, he has no time to run now. This thought occasionally flashes through and is immediately eliminated by himself - he can
You don't have two lives to take risks.
Thump thump thump...
Time passed quickly, and Xia Han's heart started beating. He tilted his head, and then squeezed forward to get in close contact with the trembling waves on Bai Xue's chest.
This...is this the feeling of being in love!? It seems wrong...
Xia Han rubbed his body and felt it, and didn't stop until he noticed that Bai Xue's neck was all red. He closed his eyes and meditated, and finally determined that his heart was not beating because of love.
A call that came from nowhere echoed in his heart, scratching his heart like an ant.
"Coming."
Bai Xue's voice brought Xia Han back to her senses, but the female elf's voice didn't sound very optimistic: "But we were also discovered."
Not long after she finished speaking, Xia Han spotted the black group of knights in the distance. Even though the distance was so far that the knights' armor could not be seen clearly, the horse's hooves that looked like nothing on the grassland still made the ground tremble.
Ten people, a hundred people? No... at least a thousand people!
[Holy crap, why send so many people just for a child? 】
Xia Han was frightened, and Bai Xue gritted her teeth and sped up: "Little guy, it seems that your uncle really values you."
They took it seriously enough to send nearly a regiment of troops over.
Xia Han looked back. He still didn't see the so-called place shrouded in thick fog. He couldn't help but feel nervous: "Sister, can you make it in time?"
"I don't know, probably..." Bai Xue gave a mixed answer.
At this point, Xia Han had to find a way on his own.
"Frost freezes, frost freezes!"
He began to cast spells backwards uncontrollably, and ice-blue elemental apertures flashed on the grassland, like blowing frost mist that quickly spread among the weeds and froze into a sheet of snow-white.
This low-end spell has a very good effect after being superimposed, and the temperature at night is enough to sustain them for a period of time. Of course, it cannot effectively block the knights behind. But even if it slows down the opponent a little, this pair of Bai Xue and Xia Han will
It's also a huge help.
The following facts proved that Xia Han succeeded.
The two of them unknowingly got away from the knight, and their line of sight became narrower and narrower.
"It's safe here. It's hard for us to be found here." Bai Xue put Xia Han on the ground and sat down with a gasp: "But unfortunately, I found that I can't find the direction either."
She raised her sight, and the sky was blurred by the thick fog, making it impossible for her to orient herself.
Xia Han, who was feeling sore all over, was not too worried. His illustrated book had the function of displaying a map: "What is the name of this place? The specific name."
Bai Xue thought for a moment: "Wait... let me think about it... it seems to be called Mist Hill?"
In the misty hill, Xia Han began to search for information.
Region: Mist Hill (where the Human King is buried)
The Mist Hill is a mysterious place located in the Morning Grassland of Qilin Continent. In 1018 AD, after several years of exploration by the New Jade Empire, the Mist Hill was determined to be the burial place of the Human King.
Note: The ‘Qilin’, the symbol of human race’s supreme royal power, is also hidden here.
