Kingdom’s Bloodline

No one knew what kind of torment Thales, who seemed relaxed at the moment, had just endured.

He fell on the ground, under the double attack of weakness and pain, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten the last teaching of the black sword: the sin of Hell River often arouses strength beyond the body's load.

Even though Thales had already spent six years observing the final power of the meteorite, imitating the twist of fate still required paying a huge price—the previous difficult battle against Nikolai brought Tais Ernes's consumption was far beyond normal, and the load on his body was even more unimaginable.

His hands and feet were broken by the meteorite, and he fell to the ground due to exhaustion and insufficient recovery, but he was seriously injured and needed urgent treatment.

Pain, which was Thales' first sensation to disappear, the wound became warm and numb, and no longer uncomfortable - but it was obviously not a good thing.

In a trance, the young prince found something ominous: his body was getting cold gradually.

His limbs began to stiffen.

It was getting harder to breathe.

The spirit gradually weakened.

Vision dimmed.

Hearing loss.

He was getting tired and sleepy.

A thought popped up in the confused Thales' mind: his life was being lost.

But at this moment, Thales didn't even have the strength to call for help.

Until that strange and familiar force, as if consciously, "joyfully" boiled in the body!

At the moment when he was about to faint, the mysterious power of terminating power grew vigorously in his body and spread like a grass that finally received the rain.

The sharp pain that suddenly returned to his body made Thales, who was about to pass out, startled and woke up!

He can't sleep.

Thales gritted his teeth, endured the abnormality in his body, and desperately sucked in the dirty air with smoke like a drowning person snatching the air.

The crime of the prison river, yes, the repair effect of the crime of the prison river!

Thales desperately recalled the scene six years ago: After the blood magician disappeared, Thales fell to the ground bleeding under the huge consumption, convulsing, excruciating pain, just like now, on the verge of death.

At that time, it was Hei Jian who used the strange fluctuations of the crime of Hell River to repair the wounds in the prince's body and brought him back from the brink of death.

Thales rubbed his face on the rocky ground, struggling to recall that special wave, the wave that had the same origin as the power in his body but a different path.

In the past six years, Thales has been secretly pondering the efficacy of the crime of Hell River, including the kind of fluctuation that Black Sword has shown to promote healing, but every time the result makes Thales extremely discouraged: Just like the strength and speed endowed to him, including the senses, are short-lived and limited, the healing effect of the sin of Hell River is minimal, not as good as his own self-healing physique.

Thales was disturbed: in countless failed experiments, he had never used the crime of prison river to repair such serious injuries - broken wrist, dislocated knee, fractured tibia, and countless abrasions all over his body , contusions and muscle strains.

But this time is different.

Soon, familiar fluctuations appeared in the sin of Hell River, which were rarely born from every corner of the body, surging in!

Thales shuddered, this was a situation he had never encountered before: the sin of Hell River was a little unusually active.

No, not just "some".

Compared with the sense of stagnation when entering the senses of hell, and the sense of fluency that suddenly appeared in the tense battle, the power of ending at this moment is simply a monstrous flood that cannot be blocked, oppressing his whole body!

Just like a lazy hyena, suddenly turned into a hungry wolf!

Thales automatically entered the senses of hell without calling, and everything around him appeared in his perception: wind, fighting, dialogue, temperature,

Even a scorpion that crawled five meters away was clearer, more precise, and more delicate than before the injury—unfortunately, pain was also included.

The next moment, with the strengthening of the senses of hell, the severe pain in his body suddenly increased!

Thales twitched all over!

pain!

It hurts!

"Uh uh..."

In the torment, Thales twisted his cheeks, he could only subconsciously clenched his teeth, and moaned muffledly!

As if the pain wasn't enough for him, the unbearable itching and constant dizziness came one after another, simultaneously originating from the brain.

It felt like someone was holding a hammer and beating his bones inch by inch from the outside to the inside.

It was also like someone holding a sharp knife, cutting open his blood vessels bit by bit from the inside out.

Then tens of thousands of hungry ants were poured on it!

OMG, OMG, OMG!

However, Thales couldn't move and could only endure this torture in trembling.

Hei Jian... He thought desperately: How did that guy endure all this?

Thales swears that he is willing to pay any price, any price, as long as someone can lend a helping hand and help him stop all this!

But no one could hear the screams in his heart.

The young man was dripping with cold sweat and trembling all over, he could only force himself to listen to the battle between the Meteorite and the Death Crow, trying to divert his attention.

In twitching and trembling, Thales, who was almost paralyzed but had extremely sensitive senses, felt all this passively:

The only vitality in his body was stimulated, consuming energy, prompting the wounds all over his body to regenerate, heal, and scar at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even the bones wounded by the Meteorite began to regenerate, and under the fierce pressure of the Hell River Sin, they joined together again.

I don't know how long it took, Thales finally felt no pain, itching and dizziness.

Instead, there is weakness and hunger.

Surviving after the catastrophe, he lay on the ground, trembling and stretching out his left hand, which had disappeared from pain, panting in shock.

Thales was pleasantly surprised to find that his legs had recovered as before: his right knee was repositioned, and his left tibia no longer hurt, but there was a slight depression to the touch.

As for the young man's left wrist, although it was a bit stiff, and there was still a sense of stagnation that was difficult to ignore, at least it no longer affected the movement.

Thales stared blankly at his hands and feet.

He recovered.

The special fluctuation of the black sword took effect.

It's just—Thales thought about the horrible torture just now—if it was a side effect of the treatment, it would be better for him to suffer less injuries.

It felt terrible.

The bewildered young man slowly turned over from the ground, but he was taken aback for a moment.

Thales clearly felt that he was different.

To be precise, the crime of prison river is different.

If the crimes of the prison river in the past were like the thin mist in the morning, actively or passively contaminating Thales' body time and time again, satisfying his corresponding desires, then the crime of the prison river at this moment is like a tangible cold in the cold autumn Frost, without calling, automatically and consciously covered his flesh and blood hungrily.

Thales, who was in a trance, suddenly understood the words of the black sword: the moment of life and death is the opportunity for the progress of the sin of the prison river, and it is also the most adaptable and powerful state.

Just like its first birth.

Thales looked at the situation on the field, struggled to support himself, and walked unsteadily towards the Crossbow of Time—he was very weak and hungry.

But he can't rest yet.

cannot.

So, when Thales stood up with all his hands and feet, the Meteorite and the Deathcrow couldn't believe their eyes.

And when he aimed the crossbow of time at Monty, the astonishment reached its peak.

"Your Highness," Deathcrow frowned and looked at the crossbow arrow pointing at him: "What are you doing?"

"As you can see," Thales suppressed the hunger in his stomach and said calmly, "I'm questioning you."

Nikolai looked at the confrontation between the two people suspiciously, his eyes kept wandering.

Monty showed a submissive and kind smile: "Your Highness Thales, maybe you didn't hear clearly just now, but I'm on your side..."

"I know."

Thales interrupted him briefly, with a dignified and indifferent tone.

"I have known for a long time that you are from the secret department," the prince said lightly:

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be so obedient along the way."

Monty froze slightly.

"Is that so?" The Deathcrow looked at Thales thoughtfully, and his tone gradually became cautious: "When did you recognize me? Did the Secret Division tell you in advance?"

He asked carefully and respectfully.

Thales stared at his expression carefully, but the crossbow in his hand never relaxed.

The prince shook his head, and said softly: "After waking up for the first time, I told you: You are not carrying me, but the two thousand star cavalry in the desert."

"This is the information that the secret department told me."

The Crow's eyes moved slightly: "So?"

Thales narrowed his eyes: "However, a few days ago, you interrupted the hearing with the news from Qiyuan City, and also interrupted Ian's calculations - you said, five thousand cavalry suddenly appeared in the stars At the border."

Monty's pupils instantly dilated!

"So, after seeing that you didn't respond to my words, the huge difference between two thousand and five thousand," the second prince sighed, "I knew it: you were lying to the lords from the beginning , deliberately exaggerating the threat of Xingchen, just to make Longxiao City hand me over."

"Because you are a member of the secret department, you are aware of this plan to rescue the prince."

Nikolai on the side chuckled disdainfully.

A few days ago, when Raphael in the headquarters repeatedly insisted that the secret department "has its own appropriate means and arrangements" to rescue the prince, Thales initially dismissed it.

But now it seems...

Thales looked solemnly at the suppressed meteorite, and swept over Monty, who was also weak and holding on to the rock, feeling depressed.

He finally figured out the secret department's rescue plan.

Monty brought the news of the change in the stars, and in the name of Grand Duke Ronnie, he urged Longxiao City to hand over Thales, and the prince will go to Qiyuan City near the Great Desert in the Qiyuan City Mission.

Leaving the strict surveillance of the Palace of Heroes, and under the personal escort of the famous Death Crow, the second prince may have "disappeared" on the way, and the Kingdom of Stars welcomed back their royal family in the desert near Qiyuan City. heir.

As for afterwards, whether to blame King Chaman for the crime of losing the prince, instigate the intensified internal strife in Exter, or take advantage of this reason to hold Qiyuan City and intervene in the internal affairs of the Dragon Kingdom, it will be up to Kessel It depends on the king's mood and preferences.

During this process, Thales didn't have to worry about safety issues, and even the secret department didn't have to take the initiative to show up, because except for the last step, all the handovers along the way will use the diplomatic channels that the people of the Northland clearly stated: the Western Expedition of Dragon Clouds City The large army, the Westward Mission of Qiyuan City, the vanguard outpost under the command of the Death Crow, and the Desert Expeditionary Army of the Stars.

Perfect, artful, smooth.

If there is no "little accident" at the end in the Hall of Heroes.

Thales sighed inwardly: Who should be blamed for this accident?

Is it me who is making small calculations in secret, is it Selma who is doing a disservice to protect herself, is it King Charman with a keen sense of smell, or is it the secret department of the Kingdom who adheres to the principle of "the less the better"?

Monty was slightly dazed at first, then took a sharp breath, his tone full of praise and admiration: "As expected of His Royal Highness Thales, if so, why do you..."

Thales interrupted him again.

"Not only that."

The prince said coldly: "When you sent out the signal and shot his first arrow, I quietly told Nicolai about your secret department identity."

At that moment, it seemed as if everything around him had come to an end.

Monty couldn't hide his shock anymore.

He turned his head slowly, looking at the meteorite beside him in disbelief:

"What?"

But Nikolai just frowned tightly and continued to struggle with the crossbow bolt that pierced him.

"Otherwise," Thales slowly half-kneeled down, using his knees to support the flat crossbow—he was too weak at the moment, and couldn't last long: "Do you think this dead face's brain is really that good?" , suddenly enlightened, and guessed your identity?"

Nicolai snorted coldly and stared at Thales unkindly.

Monty turned his gaze back to Thales, his face full of disbelief.

"Your Highness," the doubts in his heart almost overflowed: "Why?"

Thales smiled slightly, and pouted at Nicolein:

"Because this is the only way for the two of you to start a fight to the death."

The death raven's breathing began to speed up.

He supported the rock and took a step forward frowning: "Your Highness, why..."

"Don't move!" Thales shouted sharply, while raising the crossbow in his hand.

Monty paused.

The prince shook his arm crossbow, and said calmly: "Are you sure, after being roasted by the Rising Sun Saber and using the crossbow of time again, can you dodge the crossbow arrows if you consume a lot of energy?"

Monty looked at the weapon that belonged to him, and gritted his teeth unwillingly:

"I do not understand."

Thales nodded, then shook his head again.

"Yeah, it's like I don't understand." The prince observed the other party's situation, and his speech slowed down: "When you took me to escape, why did you knock me out from time to time?"

Monty's eyes moved.

"Haha, if this is the case, please forgive me." The Death Crow said in a little embarrassment, "My identity is too valuable, and the secret department does not allow me to reveal it at will, even if it is you..."

But Thales still shook his head: "Why go east?"

Monty ate again.

This time, he narrowed his eyes imperceptibly: "What?"

Thales sighed softly: "We met in a jungle in the Stone Mausoleum, but on the first night, you knocked me out."

"When I woke up, I found that we were in the Iron County under the jurisdiction of Dragon Clouds City, which is located in the east of Luanshiling."

The Death Crow showed a look of astonishment.

He said helplessly: "Don't doubt my route, Your Highness..."

But Thales denied it with a chuckle: "The jungle soil in the Stone Mausoleum is very dry, but the underground rock formations in Iron County have a different sense of hardness. I will not admit it."

Monty froze unknowingly.

"Underground rock formations?" he asked suspiciously.

"On the second night, we arrived at Welland Land, which is close to the Hills of Sighing. The land is much more fertile and wetter, and the terrain is much more complicated." Thales continued with a more serious expression, "But it is located in the Iron County. Southeast—that's not the way to the Great Desert."

Monty was silent.

Thales snorted softly: "I also asked you specifically, are we on the right track?"

"You're still the same: knock me out."

Monty took a deep breath, rubbed his face weakly, and smiled helplessly: "But didn't I bring you here, to the edge of the desert?"

Thales shrugged: "That's what you had to do—I woke up on the third or fourth day, but we arrived at Spear City at the junction of Longxiao City and Qiyuan City, and you said to me uneasily, We have just crossed the Muxue River, and there are pursuers behind us."

The prince shook his head: "You're lying, we didn't come across the Muxue River, but went southeast and turned back to Spear City."

"According to the plan, we were supposed to go straight to the southwest and into the desert, but you took me all the way to the southeast," Thales gestured to Nicolein who was beside him, "It was under the tight pursuit of this dead face , you reluctantly let go of my shackles, and were forced to turn around, and quickly turned to the west, entering the barren rocky land of Qiyuan City."

The Death Crow looked like he was misunderstood, and said impatiently: "Your Highness, maybe you lack the experience of marching in the field, so you are a little confused about the direction and geography, but we took a detour just to avoid the pursuers..."

Thales interrupted him affirmatively: "You don't have to lie to me—I remember very clearly that when there were no pursuers, you went all the way east, and when the pursuers approached, you turned in the right direction."

"This is not the route in my impression."

"If it wasn't for Nicolai's pursuit too closely, are you going to take me all the way to the east?"

Monty paused.

Only Thales said coldly:

"I should ask you: why?"

Monty was silent for a long time.

The Meteor stared at him intently, and then at Thales, very puzzled.

"Your Highness, I don't understand."

A few seconds later, the Deathcrow sighed: "You have been in a coma all the way, how can you be so sure, where have you been?"

Thales smiled.

"Of course I'm sure."

Monty frowned, puzzled.

I saw Thales holding a crossbow, and said mysteriously: "You don't know, as the star royal family, in addition to the golden blood, a certain generous god gave us a blessing."

Nicolai and Monty were startled again.

What?

God's...blessing?

Thales lowered his voice, showed a confident smile, and stepped on his feet: "That god blessed him in this way: as long as you stand on the ground..."

"I will never get lost."

Thales pursed the corners of his mouth, and while breathing, he felt that the pair of glasses in his arms were quite heavy.

"That's right," Thales raised his eyebrows and agreed happily:

"I always know where I am at any time."

At this moment, Meteorite and Monty were stunned.

They looked at each other with surprised expressions.

Three seconds passed.

"Impossible," Monty said in astonishment, his chest heaving, as if unwilling to believe: "You..."

But at this moment, before his words fell, the Death Crow suddenly moved!

Monty, whose expression suddenly became indifferent, swung his right arm towards Thales.

Appearing together with Monty's right arm, there are three silver lights flashing in the air!

The prince, who was still slightly complacent in the joke just now, suddenly tensed up!

Oops.

He didn't even have time to react!

"call out!"

Three strange silver lights brought the wind howling and hit Thales.

"Be careful!" Nicolai's roar could barely reach his ears.

At this moment, the crime of Hell River surged maniacally.

Rushing to Thales' almost blank brain.
