Kingdom’s Bloodline

Thales finally knew what it was like to fall from a high altitude.

That is - no feeling.

Just because of the feeling of being helpless, without support and support, it can take away all thoughts of people in an instant and take away the independent control of the body!

Only panic, bewilderment and loss of consciousness remained.

The cold wind is blowing.

"Hoo hoo..."

Thales was held in the arms of Hei Jian with one arm, and he was shaking his lips, unable to say anything.

In the high-speed passing wind, even breathing became difficult.

Thales' mind went blank.

At that moment, that kind of strange fluctuations flooded the whole body, as if even time slowed down.

But this time, that volatility did not bring him miracles.

A violent airflow blew past the sleeves of the two of them.

They are still falling.

The Dragon Clouds City under him is getting bigger and clearer.

And he can't do anything.

Thales could only close his eyes, his mind blankly waiting for his own death.

At this moment, the black sword behind him suddenly moved.

"hiss--"

The sharp sound of metal scraping against the rock surface exploded in my ears again.

Thales felt his body fall downwards, as if gravity had returned!

He flung his eyes open.

There was a flash of fire in the eyes.

Thales looked in shock at an arm protruding from behind him, holding that weird black sword, and scraped a string of sparks on the cliff!

As they fell, they continued to slow down.

In the next second, Thales felt a shock!

Suddenly a heavy weight came under me,

The tearing sensation of the torso and the dizziness of the brain hit at the same time.

Thales retched a few times uncontrollably.

He gasped and found that his breathing became easier again.

Huh?

The Prince of Stars was surprised a second later - they stopped.

Thales couldn't help gasping.

Their descent was stopped and they were now hovering over the cliff.

And he, who was falling from head to foot, had already turned upside down.

I - survived?

Thales raised his head in disbelief and saw the situation in front of him clearly.

Heijian's strange sword had long since disappeared, and his right hand was holding a thin rope firmly.

The other end of the rope was fastened firmly to a thick nail, driven deep into the cliff.

Hang them who are helpless on the cliff, and hang them firmly in the air!

And Hei Jian gritted his teeth tightly, his right hand was covered with blood.

"Clang!"

There was the sound of metal falling below him.

Only then did Thales come back to his senses, unknowingly, his head was covered in cold sweat.

"This rope," Star Prince asked in disbelief, "did you prepare it?"

Hei Jian sneered lightly.

"Drove Ashida here for a duel," Heijian let go of his hand, and they slid down the rope at a constant speed: "Just to have a way out."

Although the rope on the black sword's hand was small, it seemed extremely tough, as if it was specially made for this kind of activity.

Thales looked at Heijian's hand in surprise, at the blood that flowed from it due to the high-speed friction just now, but the latter seemed unaware, as if it wasn't his hand.

"Boom!"

They landed on a jutting irregular rock on the edge of the cliff.

Thales leaned on the rock wall with weak legs, looked at the Dragon Clouds City below - he could already clearly see the roofs of many houses - panting hard, trying to adjust his breathing.

But what he should be more worried about is the current situation: Thales began to think about his relationship with the person in front of him, and his options after getting rid of Ashida.

What would he do with himself?

Does he know who he is?

The news that Ashida said just now—Thales’s breathing slowly accelerated—if Black Sword was the murderer who killed Crown Prince Midil twelve years ago...

That means he is...

In the Mindis hall, Gilbert told him that the king's eldest son was killed by the killers of the Shadow Shield.

In the Palace of Heroes, before his death, Grand Duke Peifit said that the Shadow Shield had been longing for his life.

Thinking of the key, Thales' heart skipped a beat.

Thales gritted his teeth, and looked warily at the black sword with his back facing him: This person is very likely...

But at that moment, the moment Thales stared at him, Hei Jian suddenly turned around!

Thales was so frightened that his whole body trembled and his fists clenched!

His scalp tingled for a while—as if being targeted by a powerful hunter.

Heijian took a deep look at Thales.

A pair of eyes full of murderous intent.

Thales didn't dare to utter a breath, but pulled the corners of his mouth ugly and forced a smile.

Hei Jian frowned and took a breath.

Only after realizing that it was only the boy in front of him who was looking at him with hostility, Hei Jian disappeared the chill in his eyes, and turned his head expressionlessly.

Hei Jian picked up the Hei Jian that had just fallen, and started to assemble again.

And Thales' palms were already covered in cold sweat.

This guy—does he have eyes behind his back? How can you even feel my eyes?

Thales lowered his head and clenched his fists.

After escaping from Ashida, he had to face such a dangerous and terrifying gangster again-his uneasiness only increased.

No, I'd better not reveal my identity.

We still have to find a way to get out safely and go back to the Palace of Heroes.

Thales tried hard to adjust his breathing.

But unsatisfactory things always happen: a familiar voice rang in Taylor's ear.

"Why have you been here for so long!" A figure appeared behind the rock, his tone full of anxiety.

Under the moonlight, Thales saw the appearance of the person coming, and then his eyes widened!

no?

Am I so unlucky!

Hearing that voice, Hei Jian didn't turn his head back, and said in a flat tone, "I've encountered a little trouble...is the rope put away?"

"It was fine five minutes ago, and you can slide down to the shield area along the way." The old man who newly appeared on the rock lay down on the edge, stretched out his hand and pulled out a similar thin rope.

"You wounded yourself up again..." The old man frowned when he saw Hei Jian's distressed appearance, "It's not that I just went back to the Palace of Heroes to get something..."

The old man's words stopped abruptly.

He saw Thales beside the black sword.

The old man's mouth opened wide in surprise.

Thales blinked his eyes, showed an awkward smile, raised his hand and waved reluctantly: "Hello..."

"Mr. Ramon."

I saw Ramon, the black doctor of the fraternity who should have been in the Palace of Heroes, and the star missionary, the suspected inheritor of magic—at this moment, he was leaning on the rock wall in a daze, looking at the prince of the stars in amazement.

Thales' heart fell into an ice cave.

that's too bad.

Hei Jian, is he here to save Ramon?

Ramon couldn't be more aware of his identity.

And...he has no friendly relationship with himself.

"He?" Sure enough, Ramon's first reaction was to point at Thales and turn to the black sword, his face full of disbelief: "Why did you bring this guy here!"

Thales shrugged, there was no wave on his calm smile.

But his brain was in a panic and kept running.

what to do?

If Hei Jian knows that I am a shining star...

If he had been--then he would not have been unresponsive!

Thales clenched his fists.

Can't bet on his attitude.

Doctor Guai sighed, and saw Ramon covering his head with a mournful face: "He's just an eternal oil barrel, he'll burn at one o'clock!"

"You tied him here, how can we escape!"

"Do you know him?" Hei Jian grabbed a triangular metal buckle from his hand, seized the time to try the hanging rope, and asked with his usual expression, "Who is he?"

"he is--"

at this moment.

"Doctor Ramon!" Thales said suddenly, seeming very happy.

Ramon raised his eyebrows, thinking of Thales' "mind-reading skills", his face suddenly looked bad.

But Thales' next sentence made his face change drastically!

"By the way, I just found out the origin of the Tower of Soul yesterday," Thales said with a smile, "I was just about to tell you, ah, it turns out that the Tower of Soul was established after the Battle of the Kings. A mage named Iri New Moon..."

Ramon's eyes widened in surprise.

Before Hei Jian turned his head, Thales winked at him, nodded his head with a threatening face, and made a gesture of crossing his hands.

Ramon froze.

"...The Tower of Soul is a twin tower. In a place called 'Stumbling Peninsula', there seems to be a large research branch called 'Seat of Ten Thousand Laws'. Maybe we should find a time to sit down chat?"

Ramon's eyes widened, his hands trembling slightly.

Thales shook his head resolutely at him—he only hoped that Doctor Blame could understand what he meant: "Of course, we'd better keep it a secret?"

"The Tower of Soul?"

Hei Jian narrowed his eyes, and he turned his head: "Is he your colleague?"

Ramon came back to his senses, he looked at Thales, who was as if nothing had happened, and looked bright, and then at the black sword under his hand.

"Ah! This guy—he is..." Ramon's face darkened, as if he had thought of something, he looked at the black sword, and his words froze: "The youngest son of a certain lord in the Palace of Heroes is interested in magic ..."

"It's not easy these days to meet nobles who know magic and don't reject it." Ramon rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "I plan to rely on his resources for a long time after he grows up..."

Thales breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

He had experienced Heijian's perception ability, so he didn't dare to take any action at all, but sighed silently in his heart.

"Magic? Huh," Black Sword ignored their quarrel, and did not ask in detail: "So, this is why Ashida kidnapped him?"

Those words seemed to freeze the already cold air.

"Ashda—he?" Ramon's face changed drastically, and he looked around: "This is Exeter, Dragon Clouds—have you met the magician of Qi?"

"Just to say hello." Hei Jian said casually.

"Speaking of this," Black Sword installed the metal slider, and finally pulled the dangling rope. With an indifferent expression, he pulled out the small red sword from his waist and threw it to Ramon: "Lancer is in the 'Azure Ambition' The found weapon..."

"I almost let that monster eat it—it's good for nothing but frightening!"

"How is it possible?" Ramon frantically avoided the edge of the sword, held up the little red sword, his eyes were full of doubts, "Could it be that the proprietress missed her too?"

"Is it a fake?"

"Maybe yes, now that I think about it, we are too confident," Hei Jian frowned, "After all, it is a legendary anti-magic weapon that is powerful enough to seal a magician, and it is just placed in the underground mezzanine of 'Azure Ambition' Li, it's too childish."

"We can only think of other ways."

"But the proprietress' letter said that this is the only legendary anti-demon weapon we can find," Ramon scratched his head, "The other weapons are firmly in the hands of all countries—you can still enter the army Do you want to grab the immovable bow of Wrath of the Kingdom? Or go to Thirty-eight Sentinels and steal the time crossbow of the Death Raven?"

Hei Jian's face darkened, and he shook his head: "We'll talk about this later, we have to leave now."

Thales saw the little red sword.

No one knew, the moment Black Sword drew out the small red sword, Thales only felt a burning sensation in his heart.

On the edge of the cliff, watching the black sword pull it out, that strange familiar feeling came up again.

Thales stared blankly at the little red sword.

what happened?

According to them, this should be a fake of the Legendary Anti-Demon Armor—?

At this moment, Hei Jian raised his head suddenly!

He looked at the sky above his head, his face became very scary.

Hei Jian lowered his head, pulled Ramon and Thales over, and pushed them towards the sliding rope: "Let's go!"

Ramon's face turned pale: "Why..."

"Go!"

Hei Jian's words suddenly sped up, his tone full of anxiety: "He found us!"

Thales was taken aback, he realized what Hei Jian's words meant.

"Him?" Ramon was shocked.

"Even with such a big snowstorm and such a long distance..." Hei Jian put the rope around Ramon's waist, and tied him and Thales together without any explanation: "I underestimated the ability of the magician!"

Thales frowned—damn it, he still hadn't completely escaped from Ashida.

"I'll stop him." Hei Jian said coldly.

"But..." Ramon was terrified and wanted to say something.

"You take him." Hei Jian stuffed the slider into Ramon's hand, and before the pale-faced Ramon could react, he raised his leg without warning, "Go down first!"

"Wait—we——" Ramon raised his eyebrows, and looked at Thales in disbelief, but before he could finish his sentence...

Hei Jian kicked him off the cliff with one kick!

"damn it--"

"You - Black Sword!"

"hateful!"

Amidst Ramon's unwilling exclamation, Thales once again experienced the feeling of weightlessness, and was led by him to continue sliding down!

Thales took a deep breath,

Fortunately, it was obviously not the first time for Ramon to do this. Although he was furious and cursed, he still skillfully controlled the slider in his hand and slid Thales down safely.

They had just slipped down more than ten meters, when the crisp sound of the sword's impact and the rapid sound of the airflow sounded above their heads!

"Damn it," on the way down, Ramon looked at the top of his head worriedly, lowered his head, and said viciously: "Listen kid, before you go back to the Palace of Heroes, you must tell me the news about the Soul Tower...then get farther away from me The better!"

"You are simply a picky person, you can encounter new tricks of dirty things every day..."

"Hey!" Without the black sword by his side, Thales was relieved, he grabbed the rope and protested dissatisfiedly: "That's how you describe your savior? And...how did you escape from the palace? "

"Savior?" Ramon's expression changed.

"Come on, you're just a cunning bastard who is full of lies?" Ramon remembered something, and said angrily: "You still want to lie to me, you can read minds!"

Thales' face froze: "How do you know?"

"I'm not an idiot!" Doctor Wei said with disgust on his face, "When you asked me about magic that day, I guessed it!"

In the field of vision, the urban area below them is getting closer and closer - this seems to be a relatively dilapidated area in Longxiao City. Although only the roofs and streets can be seen, the messy layout and dilapidated appearance of this urban area can still be seen clearly.

Finally, they landed safely, landed behind a hut, and stepped on the unique uneven stone ground of Dragon Clouds City.

Thales revisited the sense of security with his feet on the ground, and a feeling of happiness lingered in his heart.

"You know," Thales pulled himself away from the rope, his mind was churning, and at the same time he said nonchalantly: "The black sword can't stop him—we'd better run first."

"Don't worry about Hei Jian, that guy will definitely not die." Ramon pulled off the rope and nodded thoughtfully: "But I agree with your words!"

The two reached a consensus, and without looking back, they scrambled for the first time and trotted away!

Run up the empty streets.

As long as you meet a patrol team—Thales panted heavily and gritted his teeth: At least he can report to Putilai and the others!

But before they ran far, they heard a loud noise behind them!

"boom!"

The snowflakes all over the sky rose up behind him.

Thales and Ramon were both shocked!

They looked at each other, not daring to look back, they just ran faster and faster down the street.

It ran for three full minutes.

Many residents were woken up on the way.

A window of a room behind him opened, and a man yawned and stuck his head out curiously.

A dog in the resident's house on the left was awakened from a good dream and barked at them maliciously.

A woman's curses came from the room ahead.

In a two-story house on the upper left, a basin of water was poured out angrily.

In a shop with a sign on the right rear, a wine bottle was thrown out.

Both of them didn't care, they just kept walking, panting.

Thales used to walk through the streets and alleys a lot before, and he ran at a fast speed in the chaotic streets, but children have limited physical strength after all, and although Ramon is an adult, he usually doesn't seem to exercise much, and he starts to pant after taking two steps .

Add to that poor visibility in the wee hours of the morning - and in the end, their speed inevitably slowed down.

Finally, there was an urgent order from the front!

"What's the matter with the footsteps ahead? Come with me!"

"The third team, the fourth team, you go to patrol the left street, you must rendezvous every five minutes, and the rendezvous team must send a messenger to report!"

"Sixth Team and Ninth Team, immediately go to investigate the shock just now - it should be under the cliff of the sky!"

"If any team members, soldiers, or residents are reported missing..."

"When you meet any suspicious person, don't let it go... But the first priority is to report back safely!"

"The higher-ups have issued an order, and when encountering incomprehensible things or people-this is their original words-immediately fire the signal crossbow!"

It seems that there are still many people!

A hope surged in Thales' heart, while Ramon's face turned pale, and he seemed a little nervous.

"It's okay," Thales reassured him, "As long as I reveal my identity..."

But at this moment, from the alley beside him, two hands suddenly stretched out!

Drag the two of them into it alive!
