The crisp sound of horse hooves passed by quickly. The guard who opened the palace door didn't recognize who this person was. The knight on the horse covered his head and face with a large windbreaker, and the horse rushed out of the palace door alone. Looking around,
All they could see was the tuft of turbulent black cloaks in the distance - he must be a general with an arduous mission, the guards thought in their hearts, and worked together to close the heavy palace door.
After running ten miles at a rapid pace, there was a long neigh and the horse stopped immediately. Cohen, who was riding the horse, thought for a moment and turned right. He wanted to avoid the military camp in front of him. Although the garrison troops along the way had received orders not to interfere.
, but the dotted camps caused a lot of trouble for his judgment - but the good news is that this summoning method clearly comes from the style of the eldest princess of the God Clan.
It would be best to meet the eldest princess directly, because the other members of the Light God Clan seem to be underage. They can't stand the slightest grievance and clamor to kill at every turn, and Cohen can't really fight with them -
—After they fail, they will cry to their parents, but their biggest backer cannot show up at this time!
Forty miles later, there were far fewer small camps providing security for the city, and they turned into medium-sized military camps with thousands of troops stationed there. Correspondingly, the gaps between the military camps became wider. Cohen slowed down and looked around.
He looked for the eldest princess who summoned him. He was not a little crow, so he was a little unfamiliar with it. From a distance, it looked like he was recovering from a serious illness and was unable to walk.
The feeling in his heart became stronger, and Cohen set his sights on a small river in the distance. This river was so small that it didn't even have a name. But in other respects, it was fine, with a winding trend and gentle water flow.
There are rows of weeping willows on both sides of the bank, and the grass grows on the left and right and orioles fly.
Cohen dismounted, pulled off his windbreaker, tightened the skirt of his dress, and walked upstream along the river bank. The Princess of the Clan of Light was waiting for him under the shade of a tree a hundred steps ahead. She stood with her hands behind her back, looking very heroic.
, a set of simple women's riding clothes highlighted her stunning side lines, her hair was tucked into the brim of her hat, and the skin on her face was as smooth as jade.
However, this time the eldest princess did not play in the water, but was fishing seriously - three fishing rods were inserted diagonally into the stone crevices at her feet, the fishing lines went straight into the water, and the buoys rose and fell, which made the eldest princess calm.
There was always some expectation in his expression.
"The Emperor of the Sibia Empire met with the eldest princess of the Guangming God Clan. Good day, eldest princess!" Seeing the eldest princess's attire, Cohen understood that her purpose of coming today was not that simple, so he stopped ten steps away from her.
He stepped forward, bowed and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Your eldest princess's demeanor is much better than before!"
"Cohen Keda's ability to flatter him is far better than before!" Princess Lyretta Knach did not turn her head, but just glanced sideways at Cohn.
Cohen shouted that he was wronged: "My eldest princess, I haven't started yet..."
"Looking at your smooth tongue, I must have recovered." The eldest princess said softly: "Weren't you still in a coma before? Why did you suddenly feel better?"
"The eldest princess has come to the city in person. Not to mention unconscious, even if she was beaten half to death, she still had to get up to pick her up!" Cohen said with a wry smile: "My eldest princess, this time I am facing three dark demons alone.
A demon general, a eldest princess, mighty and unyielding, suffered a lot of physical pain, and almost lost her life... But I have earned enough face for the Light God Clan, you are here to give me a reward, right?"
"No, I'm here to take your life." The eldest princess stared at the buoy on the water: "First, you have an affair with the dark demons and you no longer have faith; second, there is civil strife in the Sbia Empire, and you don't have any idea at all. If it can’t be suppressed, what does the God Clan want a useless person to do?”
"Where do these rumors come from? Are the dark demons coming to arrest me for a meeting? There is civil strife in Sbia, and it does not hinder other empires. It will not take long to calm down..." After a big explanation, The eldest princess was not moved at all. Cohen was very surprised. His voice became less loud and his attitude became less tyrannical: "My eldest princess, is this not true?"
"The fish ran away!" The eldest princess sighed, then turned around and asked: "What is not true?"
"Well, the Light God Clan said that I had an affair with the Demon Clan and that the empire was in civil strife..." Cohen replied fearfully.
"When did the Light God Clan say such a thing?" The eldest princess looked at Cohen's finger pointing at her, pulled the corner of her mouth, and changed the topic: "I said it - are you dissatisfied?"
"The eldest princess is blaming me, of course, because I didn't do things well, so I should be punished." Cohen knew that the eldest princess was very fickle, and she really had the power to take the head of the king of a country, so He changed his tone: "But, no matter what, I have no merit but hard work, so don't say that killing is so cruel, okay? Princess, please see, I have already been shot by the dark demons here, and I almost died... …”
The eldest princess stared at the wound for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Emperor Sbia, do you know what the crime of blaspheming the Gods is? Exposing your body in front of the eldest princess of the Light God is a capital crime."
"I didn't blaspheme the gods." Cohen said: "I just opened a small hole in the dress."
"The facts cannot be distorted."
"But Princess Princess, you once said." Cohen argued: "The human body is like a drop of water or a tree in your eyes."
"Have I ever said such a thing?" Before Cohen had time to express his joy, the eldest princess suppressed his emotions again: "Even if I have said this, a drop of water can be either pure or dirty; a drop of water can be either pure or dirty. There is a difference between a handsome tree and an ugly tree, so you are still guilty of death."
"Ah!" Cohen shouted: "Is there really no way to survive?"
"It's so boring to explain what you're saying." The eldest princess glanced at Cohen with disdain and turned away.
Cohen sighed secretly, and the two people with different statuses started joking. The person with a lower status was at a disadvantage!
"If this place were not located directly south of the city, it would be an ideal resting place for merchants." After a while of silence, the eldest princess said softly: "I think this river also hopes to get rid of the lonely years as soon as possible, so in After thousands of years of hard work, the surrounding beautiful scenery was created. But how could you know that just because it was located directly behind the city, it was classified as a forbidden area. This scenery, at least before the collapse of the Sibia Empire, There is no chance of success anymore.”
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe something will happen tomorrow. For example, if Sibia moves the capital again, this beautiful scenery will be darkened in broad daylight." Cohen didn't like this kind of "meaningful" opening statement, but he still had to say it. She mustered up her energy to deal with it: "Or maybe the eldest princess said that she likes it. I will go back to the palace and make a statue of you here with a stroke of my pen, and let the citizens take turns to come to pay homage..."
"If you are willing, you can make someone else's statue, but no matter whose statue it is, it has changed the life of this river. What's funny is that this has no direct relationship with its previous scenery." The eldest princess smiled lightly: "
And you, Cohen, are like a small river. What your final destiny will be has little to do with your own efforts - as long as you are a river, you may be changed by other reasons, and your destiny will also change.
It’s no longer in my hands.”
"My dearest eldest princess." Cohen began to smile bitterly again: "It seems that my destiny was not in my own hands before, right?"
"There is a difference, because you were still you before, but after this, you may not be you anymore." Lyretta Knach suddenly turned around, her face covered with frost, and she was really angry:
"Originally, I could have reversed this for you, but you did things too quickly, and I couldn't even save you in time! If I had known this, I should have killed you in the first place!"
"I..." Cohen took a step back in shock: "What did I do?"
Lyretta Knach took out her right hand from behind and threw a golden metal plate at Cohen's feet. Cohen picked it up and saw that it was a letter sent to him by the dark demon clan, which was exactly the same as the one he received not long ago.
The eldest princess saw Cohen's confused look and explained: "When those dark demons entered Sbia, the letter was subcontracted."
"What a great skill." Knowing that no other protoss would do such a thing, Cohen praised the eldest princess without leaving a trace: "Sir, this is the unilateral request of the dark demon clan. Sibia did not agree to the demon clan. We
The request for help is on its way to the Gods."
"What's the use of asking for help at this time? Asking for help from the Gods can prevent the Dark Demon Clan from marrying the little princess to you? Asking for help from the God Clan can prevent the Dark Demon Clan from returning to the whole territory of Sbia?" The eldest princess angrily said: "Absurd.
!”
"What can Sibia do? The dark demon clan chief princess came to the city with her demon generals, and I tried my best to resist it." Cohen said: "The light god clan has not appeared for such a long time, what else can I do?
?”
"Cohen, your behavior is not resistance, it is bargaining with the demons." Lilita revealed Cohen's disguise mercilessly: "Have the dark demons ever really killed one of your citizens? Have the dark demons ever really killed one of your citizens?
Destroy a city of yours? Apart from threatening you, they don’t dare to do anything to really harm Sbia, because the Gods of Light are watching them!”
"And you, Cohen Keda, it was you who repeatedly negotiated conditions and finally made the Dark Demon Master famous. Now, they are going to marry the little princess to you. Are you happy?"
"I..." Cohen shook his head: "To be honest, I was so scared that I broke into a cold sweat."
"I never thought you would still be afraid!" The eldest princess turned around, looked at her feet and said, "Cohen, look at these three fishing rods."
"Yes, I really can't see anything. I can't fish." Cohen couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all. He knew that Princess Liretta was really angry this time, but he couldn't understand why she was angry.
"Look at the shape of this fishing rod, what does it look like?" Princess Liretta said, "Does it look like the spear that once pierced your body?"
"Well, there is a certain difference between a spear and a fishing rod..." Before Cohen could finish his words, the three fishing rods trembled and flew up from the ground together, turning into three golden lights and flying towards the end of the field - over there
Clouds of black mist rolled up, and countless bolts of lightning struck down. Finally, three purple streaks rose into the sky, and the plain returned to peace.
"Puff, puff, puff!" Three times, the flying fishing rod was neatly inserted in front of Cohen, with blood stains on it.
"It looks like! It's so similar!" Cohen clenched his fists and cheered.
"These three little flies need to rest for a while." Princess Liretta clapped her hands gently and walked along the river bank: "You don't feel heartbroken, do you? Cohen, they were all pierced through the chest."
"If this were not the case, the pain in my chest would never heal." Cohen smiled: "Thank you, Princess, for helping me get revenge."
"It's just a little effort. Besides, don't friends have to take care of each other?" Princess Liretta's attitude was completely different from before. Her face became gentle and calm. Even if it was an accusation, it was just a gentle warning: "Cohen, before I
Although what I said was for the Demon General to listen to, it is not completely unfounded. You have played too much this time."
Cohen had no choice but to apologize.
"You have been the emperor for so many years and have single-handedly pushed Sibia to the extreme of the human empire. You should understand a lot of truths, but why do you still want to show your sharpness?" Princess Liretta said softly: "In the past, Ben
I will act as a friend and protect you at all times. But you have to know that although you acted exaggeratedly at that time, you were only one of dozens of emperors. I can hide you... but the dark demons want to
By marrying the little princess to you, your status will no longer be the same as before. With the most majestic eyes watching you, I can no longer protect you."
"What the eldest princess means is..."
"When we meet again in the future, we won't be like today, because we are no longer friends." Princess Liretta replied: "And you, Cohen, if nothing unexpected happens, your future encounters will not go smoothly. Not only will it not go smoothly,
, and you will harm the people around you - those who might otherwise have the chance to move towards a peaceful life."
"My eldest princess, I don't quite understand what you heard."
"Aren't you usually very smart? Why do you become dull at critical moments?" Princess Liretta shook her head and said, "I had other expectations for you... However, it is too early to say that the expectations were completely shattered.
It’s all up to you.”
"Emperor Sibia, I am not here to chat with you. You heard clearly, the gods have something to ask you!" Cohen was about to ask clearly, but Princess Lilita forced his question with her eyes.
He went back and said, "At the cost of marrying the little princess, the Dark Demon Clan allows you to give the Dark Demon Palace the privilege of spreading the Demon Clan's faith throughout Sbia. This is a crime of subjugation to the country and the annihilation of the clan. How are you going to deal with it?"
"According to the promise made by the Dark Demons, all punishments from the Light Gods will be resolved by them. Of course, this is completely unbelievable." Cohen said: "Or, I can think of a way to let the light get away for some reason.
The temple will immediately return to Sibia to offset the negative impact of the Demon Temple entering Sibia."
"You think the problem is too simple." Princess Liretta said rudely: "The return of the Temple of Light to Sbia is not a problem, the problem is how much territory can the temple occupy? If it is still as big as before, it will be equally difficult for you.
Escape from bad luck. If the temple is established throughout the territory, the dark demons will feel that they married the little princess to you in vain, and they will definitely attack you again. What should you do?"
"Well...just take it one step at a time!" Cohen felt a little embarrassed.
"Are you afraid to say it, or don't you want to say it?" Princess Liretta smiled strangely: "Well, even if it is my last favor to help you, I will tell you the solution for you."
"What can you do, sir?" Cohen decided to play dumb.
"Well, in order to save your life, I will do anything!" The eldest princess looked serious: "Cohen Keda, what do you think of the little princess of the light god clan compared to the little princess of the dark demon clan?"
As if being struck by all the lightning in the universe, Cohen was incoherent: "That...I...that..."
"Too happy to be speechless?"
In Cohen's impression, this was the most evil smile the eldest princess had ever seen.
"The Light God Clan intends to marry off the little princess of the God Clan. What does Emperor Sibia want?"
Cohen's eyes darkened and he fell to the ground frightened by the news. (To be continued)
