Kingdom’s Bloodline

Hei Jian stared at Thales' resolute face for a long time. Lewen Novel Network

"That's right." Finally, Hei Jian nodded slowly, with an ordinary smile on the corner of his mouth: "You are indeed a shining star."

At that moment, Thales was shocked and his eyes widened!

He grasped the sharp edge of the world in his hand.

"you……"

"Ah, if at this moment, I still can't guess your identity," Hei Jian shook his head with a half-smile, "Why are you talking about finding a magician?"

"His Royal Highness Thales."

The next moment, Hei Jian hugged him tightly with his right arm!

"Hold your sword!"

Hei Jianhan said in a cold voice, he quickly jumped onto a half-collapsed roof in the direction of Kirika, and leaped away.

In astonishment, Thales felt the wind whistling past his ears.

He knows his identity now.

Thales couldn't help but think of the words of King Nun and Ashida.

[The leader of that mercenary has strange skills...]

【With a strange long sword...】

[Map of Fuxing Palace...]

【You are the assassin who killed the crown prince, aren't you...】

Thales' heart was pounding.

what will he do

But he couldn't turn back.

There was an overwhelming explosion in the distance.

As if Kirika was angry.

"What are we going to do?"

It took a while for Thales to react. He suppressed the tension and shock in his heart and asked tremblingly.

"What should I do?" Hei Jian hugged him with his intact right arm,

He kept on stepping, advancing with his weak body.

"Blood magician," the second prince frowned, "That guy... I saw it with my own eyes, she couldn't be sealed by the legendary anti-magic weapon..."

"If we can't seal her... relying on those incomparably weird abilities, if we want to fight her face to face..."

Uncontrollable worries welled up in Thales' heart.

"Of course there is a way," Heijian said with certainty, "There has never been an enemy that cannot be defeated—that kind of creature only exists in knight novels, and its name is the 'protagonist'."

"Ah?" Thales was stunned for a moment: "What way?"

"First of all," Hei Jian deftly turned to avoid a tentacles looming in front of him: "You have to change your mind."

Thales was slightly taken aback.

Change... your brain?

"You feel weak, don't you?"

Hei Jian lowered his head and let his voice float into Thales' ears along the wind: "Do you think the chance of winning is very small in the face of that guy?"

Thales opened his mouth, and after taking a breath of cold wind, he spoke tremblingly.

"Isn't it?" Thales hugged the World-Cleaning Front in his arms, and said with some depression: "I'm very weak."

"Facing such an enemy...except for you, let alone me, even super-level guys are insignificant."

Hei Jian sneered unmistakably when he heard the words.

"In fact, I'm far from finishing what I just said in front of Ashida." Hei Jian's words suddenly became a little serious: "And now, listen to me."

Heijian paused, and stopped in front of a low wall, beside them lay a pair of motionless lovers hugging each other.

"No, little guy." Hei Jian's tone was extremely cold.

There was the sound of houses collapsing in the distance.

It seems that the battle is fierce.

Thales suddenly felt inexplicably nervous in his heart with the stern gaze of the black sword.

Just listen to him categorically speaking:

"You are not weak at all."

This time, hearing Heijian's unquestionable tone, Thales was really stunned.

"You feel that you are powerless and vulnerable, and anyone with a little ability can manipulate you at will?" Hei Jian lowered his voice, and hid behind the low wall with him, listening to the buzzing sound not far away. Voice.

"Then why are you still standing here?"

"I..." Thales was at a loss for words: "I'm lucky? Occasionally, I'm a little clever? I can get away with it every time..."

Hei Jian's eyes narrowed into a thin slit, but the light revealed inside was unprecedentedly compelling.

A few seconds later, the leader of the brotherhood said lightly, but without doubt: "Only the truly weak will regard pure strength as a proof of strength."

Thales raised his eyebrows.

"For the truly strong, strength is just an embellishment."

"True strength doesn't lie in how many pounds of heavy ax you can swing, how fast you can stab a sword, how strong a bow you draw, or how accurate your blade is." Seeing Thales frown, the black sword just slightly After a pause, he continued expressionlessly: "It doesn't even matter how many thousands of troops you can control and how strong the city can be broken."

"I've seen the world-renowned extreme powerhouse die humiliatingly in a beggar's sack, and I've also seen a high-ranking lord fall in despair under the servant's axe," Heijian's pupils converged, between words The chill was overwhelming: "I have even seen an incomparable magician, who was frightened and panicked by a frail and sick girl, and lost his way."

Thales took a deep breath, raised his head, frowned and said in a low voice: "Extreme realm, lord, even magician... that's just a coincidence, in very rare situations, with some impossible luck, They have the chance to die at the hands of the weak..."

However, Thales was talking, but his voice was slowly weakening.

He was a little dazed, watching Hei Jian shaking his head slowly.

"You're right," the ordinary man breathed out, "Coincidence, circumstances, luck, chance, etc.—these all add up to determine the difference between strength and weakness, superiority and inferiority, victory and defeat. Bad key."

Thales opened his eyes wide and was slightly taken aback.

"you mean……"

Hei Jian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if looking at a mischievous student: "A real strong person regards all factors that determine victory or defeat as his own strength."

The hissing sound disappeared in my ears.

The next moment, the figure of Hei Jian rose from the ground again!

Thales closed his eyes tightly, feeling the frost and snow blowing on his face.

But Hei Jian's words still reached his ears word for word, clearly and clearly:

"The truly strong turn disadvantages into advantages, disadvantages into advantages, death into vitality, and absoluteness into uncertainty. They turn the strength of the enemy into its weakness, and infinitely magnify their own strength."

"They seek hope in desperate situations, win reversals in losses, sublimate adversity into victory, and turn accidents and accidents into their own help."

Hei Jian's footsteps stepped over a dead man, and the pain of suffocation still remained on the face of the dead man.

They turned a half-missing alley.

The sound of fierce fighting ahead is getting closer.

In the cold wind blowing on his face, Thales could not help but open his mouth against the cold and strong wind, "But..."

But Hei Jian didn't allow him to interrupt, but continued talking.

"They spread out the chessboard in the vast world, using all living beings as chess pieces, and everything in the world as a chessboard, and turned the seemingly simple duel battle into a supreme game to determine the outcome." Hei Jian took a deep breath and looked up. Xiang Tian: "This kind of person who turns what the enemy relies on into my own, and regards factors including the enemy, himself, the situation, and luck as bargaining chips..."

"This kind of person who holds everything in his hands, takes the world into his heart, and sees the whole situation..."

"You are qualified to be called," Hei Jian lowered his head, Thales was unconsciously stunned by the profound meaning in his eyes, and listened to him quietly:

"A real strong man."

Kirika's hissing sound was already clearly audible, even getting closer.

There was silence between the two of them for a while, only the snow shaving their faces reminded them of their situation.

Thales slowly opened his mouth, and after hesitating for a while, he finally spoke.

"But," Thales smiled wryly, which made him look quite haggard: "For a foul existence like a magician, no matter what conspiracy or scheme, how many factors are considered..."

"The effect is limited."

"You're wrong again." Hei Jian said coldly.

Heijian made a sharp turn, hugged Thales in his arms, and slid a shovel across a dry and frozen ditch.

This action was a little hasty, Thales only felt dizzy for a while.

"Even those guys who seem to have unparalleled power, destroy cities and countries with every gesture, so that they are invincible in the world, and even immortal..."

Having said that, Hei Jian seemed to be purposely looking around at the surrounding ruins, but Thales could only squint his eyes, trying his best to reduce the impact on his sense of balance brought by Hei Jian's body skills.

"If you can't do this," Hei Jian slapped his left palm on the ground and jumped up. He raised his head and snorted softly, "you will still be a weak person—at best, a relatively strong weak person."

The hydra in the distance is already in sight, clearly visible.

"Didn't it find us?" Thales was a little nervous.

"I have my own method." Hei Jian glanced at him indifferently: "How do you think I survived from the hands of the blood magician?"

They stopped again, Hei Jian stretched out his hand, touched a ground, and closed his eyes slightly.

Like feeling something.

But his words sounded again.

"All in all, for the truly strong, they—even those disasters, even their seemingly unstoppable power—are nothing more than a slightly larger pawn on the chessboard after all."

"As long as this big chess piece is gently removed from their chessboard because of everyone's reasons," Hei Jian withdrew his hand that touched the ground, and lightly tapped the world-cleaning edge in Thales's hand, his eyes settled Wisdom and shrewdness: "These so-called 'invincibles' are useless, even ridiculous."

Thales lowered his head thoughtfully.

Hei Jian took a deep breath, his eyes were erratic and deep, as if caught in the memories of the past.

Just listen to his ethereal tone:

"Have you ever seen an extreme swordsman who lost both arms, crying and collapsing after waking up?"

Thales was slightly taken aback.

Black Sword continues:

"Have you ever seen an elite scout who travels thousands of miles every day, get drunk and depressed after his leg bones are shattered?"

"Have you ever seen a high-ranking official who lost his position of power, live insanely in the countryside, and become crazy every night?"

"Have you ever seen a famous general who condemned thousands of troops and was convicted once, died of depression in prison with no hope?"

"Have you ever seen a thousand-year-old noble who has been deprived of his surname, abandoning himself like the most desperate beggar?"

"Have you ever seen a terrifying disaster with unparalleled power and boundless power, trembling and fleeing in front of a small legendary anti-demon weapon?"

"I've seen it." The man said lightly.

Thales' breathing became heavier and thicker.

"Ah," Thales exhaled lightly, showing a tired smile: "Goldfinger dependence."

"But I've seen more than them." Hei Jian didn't understand what he said, and just took a deep breath, as if concentrating.

"I have seen the prince who fell into the enemy's hands overnight, broke his legs, was stigmatized, and became a lowly slave. He overthrew the slave owner in two years, brought a new army, and traveled thousands of miles to return to the capital. legend."

"I have seen a weak woman who has been deprived of all her strength and has no power to restrain a chicken, turning like the wind among enemies with malicious intentions. , breaking the army in an instant of terror."

Thales didn't speak.

Hei Jian frowned slightly, and pressed his palm to the ground in another direction.

Hei Jian's keen perception fed him invaluable battlefield intelligence.

Someone is confronting and dealing with the blood magician.

two.

According to this situation - it is very likely that it is the guy with the legendary anti-magic weapon.

Good chance.

But it's not the best chance yet.

Be patient.

"That's the real strong man." The black sword that split his mind came back to his senses, and nodded slowly, as if confirming the safety of the path ahead.

"The existence of this kind of person is free from all the shackles of strength, power, and status—no matter where it is placed, it can shine. Even the smallest ant can shake the supreme god."

Thales frowned slowly: "Are you also this kind of person?"

Black Sword fell silent.

"No," the man said in a low tone, "I can only be regarded as one of them trying to catch up with them."

"But you, little one."

"You have this kind of potential." Hei Jian turned his eyes, and his eyes cut Thales's face like a blade: "I am surprised by your performance on the cliff."

Thales' eyes widened.

"You have fewer chess pieces than everyone else, but you try to grasp all useful and useless factors, hold every possible bargaining chip, and drop the most critical piece, thus changing the whole battle,"

"Little guy, just based on the time just now, you are better than most people in this world," Hei Jian observed the scene in the distance - Kirika's figure was already in front of him: "You are stronger."

"You are a strong man, and you can find a chance to escape even in the adversity just now, and you can stand upright-this is something that many so-called extreme strong men can't do," Hei Jian said in a low voice: "Then you It is even more necessary to firmly believe in this and unswervingly implement the attitude of being a 'truly strong'."

Thales showed a suspicious expression.

"On the cliff, that was your plan," the second prince argued, "From the initial probing attack, to holding me hostage to find opportunities, I even doubt that you accepted my suggestion in the end—throwing me off the cliff is the same." One of your calculations, don't forget the climbing ropes you have prepared a long time ago..."

"'Key son' or something," Thales pouted, "don't comfort me."

Hei Jian's face froze.

"I'm here to encourage you..." Hei Jian coughed lightly, with a grim complexion, "Also—don't interrupt."

Thales showed an embarrassing smile.

Black Sword let out a sigh.

A man's roar came from Kirika's direction.

Thales hesitated, he wanted to stick his head out to look at the scene outside, but was pulled down rudely by the black sword.

"By comparison...those who regard pure strength and power, the single factor that determines the outcome, as the supreme canon, and distinguish the strong from the weak...are outdated long ago."

"The era of one-on-one duels between knights has passed for too long. Sadly, even if bows and crossbows can pierce iron armor, horseshoes can crush flesh and blood, catapults can break through city walls, and magic guns have roared in this era," Black said. Jian exposed half of his head, looking outside, his eyes flashed brightly: "Most people's thinking is still in the ridiculous knight age, and the battle is a funny show where two people wrestle arms on the table."

"Their poor vision is locked on the wrists and muscles, on the two of them, on the table, and on the wrench," Hei Jian smiled disdainfully:

"Just like you now, your eyes are locked on the indestructible myth of the magician and the unrivaled power."

"Then what?" Thales asked a little unconvinced: "This is not just as simple as a 'big chess piece' - it is a 'big chess piece' that can smash through the chessboard."

"Then try harder!" Black Sword interrupted him coldly: "Let it smash through the chessboard and smash into the ground all the way!"

Thales was a little dazed—is he trying to quibble?

"Remember, in my opinion, you are not a weak person." Hei Jian lowered his head, his tone was very serious and very scary: "Never have that kind of doubt that 'I'm not strong enough' - that's for the weak .”

"Under absolute disadvantage, how did humans defeat the ancient orcs? And how did they win the battle of the end?" Hei Jian's eyes released an unprecedented resolute light: "Isn't this still clear?"

Thales stared blankly at Hei Jian's eyes—those firm, cold, but extremely clear eyes.

"Northern military swordsmanship."

Thales spoke unconsciously.

Hei Jian's expression changed: "What?"

"I remembered, the action you rushed towards Ashida on the cliff of the sky just now...is the sword technique used by the Northland Army," Thales narrowed his eyes, "the sword technique to resist the ancient orcs."

He quickly raised his head and looked at the black sword:

"Why are you telling me this?"

Hei Jian stared at him, and slowly moved the corners of his mouth, revealing an ugly smile.

"First of all, I won't carry a burden," Hei Jian said indifferently: "Especially a burden that has the potential of a strong person, but is full of self-consciousness of a weak person, and only knows to try his luck desperately at the critical moment-this kind of person is the most terrible gone."

Thales raised his eyebrows helplessly, but felt a little anxious in his heart.

What are they waiting for?

Clearly Kirika—and Giza is just around the corner.

But Hei Jian stubbornly finished his words:

"Secondly."

"Only if you change your mind—and understand this truth, can you use all your chess pieces with maximum efficiency."

Thales' heart moved, he looked at Heijian in confusion: "Pawn?"

"You mean, this sword?" Thales scratched his head and raised the World-Cleaning Edge in his hand.

"right."

"But it's not just about it."

Hei Jian slowly adjusted his breathing, his eyes became colder and colder: "You have a strange power, right?"

At that moment, Thales was struck by lightning.

No way?

Strange power?

Could it be that he was talking about my demon...

But Hei Jian's next words caused waves in his already astonished heart.

"It's that kind of power that allows you to see Ashida's air wall, see through its essence, and remind me..."

Black Sword's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Thales' heart.

"It even allows you to see farther, run faster, have greater strength, and respond more sensitively."

strength?

Thales stared blankly at Heijian.

Not mana?

etc……

Is that kind of volatility?

He—how did he know?

"It's because of that kind of strength—you can avoid that tentacle just now." Hei Jian said indifferently.

Thales opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

There was a few seconds of silence.

"You mean," Thales could not help frowning when he heard his heart beating faster and his blood surging, "that kind of power..."

"That's the power of ending," Black Sword answered his doubts very simply: "A very rare power of ending,"

"The crime of prison river."

Thales opened his eyes wide, and his pupils kept going back and forth between focus and distraction.

The power of the end?

hell river...

hell river...

"Although I don't know how you have it at this age," Hei Jian took a deep breath, frowning, as if a little lost: "But there is no doubt that this may be one of your most powerful chess pieces, even decide the outcome."

"The crime of Prison River?" It took a long time for Thales to react, and asked in a daze, "What the hell is this name?"

"I didn't say its name is nice." Hei Jian stared at his expression closely, as if to see flowers on his face: "It only needs to be easy to use, that's enough."

"Easy to use?"

Thales raised his head, trying to adjust his chaotic thoughts.

He thought of the scene in the birch forest, when the first waves surged.

He also remembered the moment when he saw those strange fluctuations on Ramon for the first time in Broken Dragon Fortress.

"I don't even know what that is," Thales frowned. "Do you know?"

There were sparse rumbles from behind the low wall.

A few seconds passed, and under the moonlight, Hei Jian's ordinary face looked a little scary at this moment.

At that moment, Thales felt in a trance that the expression of the black sword in front of him was a little lonely... and sad,

"I don't just know."

Thales blinked.

Amid the increasingly noisy hissing of the hydra, Hei Jian spoke softly:

"We are more of the same kind."

"It's the kind of cursed power—slave."

Thales inhaled in surprise.

similar?

slave?

Wait, that power...

But Hei Jian didn't give him any chance to ask questions.

"Listen carefully," the legendary leader of the Brotherhood raised his head, looked at Kirika's growing terrifying body, and whispered in the most ordinary, even dull tone: "Before we make the last move... ..."

"About how to use the crime of prison river..."

"I only teach once."
