The palace.
Inner hall.
Li Ziye looked at what King Guanshan handed over with a look of shock.
A fetish?
No, it seems worse.
Not a complete fetish.
But in the hands of King Guanshan, a palm-sized stone ichthyosaur was lying there quietly, exuding a frightening aura. Unfortunately, the ichthyosaur was covered with cracks and was obviously incomplete.
"Legend has it that in ancient times, a carp jumped over the Dragon Gate. If it succeeded, it would soar into the sky and transform into a dragon. However, if it failed, it would only turn into a meteorite."
King Guanshan handed over the fish and dragon in his hand and said calmly, "This fish and dragon was obtained by accident when I was young. This fish and dragon is indispensable for my success today. However, I have now entered the fifth realm. This thing It was of little use anymore, so I gave it to Professor Li."
After hearing what King Guan Shan said, Li Ziye looked at the incomplete divine object in front of him with burning eyes, wanting to take it but not daring to take it.
He knew that once he accepted it, the debt he owed would be huge.
Divine objects, even if they are incomplete, are still priceless.
The Li family has a lot of money, but they have been unable to buy a sacred object for so long. This shows that the preciousness of the sacred object cannot be measured by gold and silver.
To answer or not to answer.
A look of struggle flashed in Li Ziye's eyes.
King Guanshan saw the concerns of the young man in front of him and said, "Jiaoxi Li, don't worry too much. This thing is just a token of my gratitude to Jiaoxi for his help. Also, Jiaoxi also contributed to Rongrong's apprenticeship." Quite a few, I haven’t had time to thank you yet.”
"Too expensive."
Li Ziye shook his head slightly and did not pick it up. He said, "No reward for no merit. I can't accept this fish and dragon."
He is indeed in short supply of divine items, but he cannot ask for them.
Favors can kill people.
"If I, the king, have anything to ask of you?"
King Guanshan saw that the young man in front of him was determined not to accept it, so he stopped trying to hide it and spoke bluntly.
Hearing this, Li Ziye frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Jiao Li will be Rong Rong's protector until Rong Rong enters the Five Realms." King Guan Shan said seriously.
"Why?"
Li Ziye looked puzzled and said, "As a young princess, I shouldn't need any protectors. With your identity and strength as King Wu, you are enough to protect the young princess."
"Ten years ago, I had the honor to meet Rushou once."
King Guanshan sighed softly and said, "At that time, the Confucian leader mentioned the matter of the extreme night of winter. When the cold winter comes, all order will collapse. Although I am the King Wu of the Great Shang, I may not be able to protect Rong at that time. Rong, Jiaoxi Li is recognized by the Book of Heaven, and his destiny is different from ordinary people. I believe that in the future, Jiaoxi Li will definitely be able to protect Rongrong from the catastrophe of the cold winter."
Even the Confucian capital could not survive the severe winter catastrophe, let alone others.
If a fish and dragon can be exchanged for Rong Rong's safety, it's worth it.
Regardless of whether the Li family's legitimate son is really the one destined to be his destiny, he has to take a gamble.
After hearing what King Guan Shan said, Li Ziye's expression changed several times as he weighed the pros and cons.
He and the little princess met once. If the little princess was in trouble, he could indeed help within the scope of his ability, but he did have to have a certain degree of restraint.
Just like he helped the young princess become a disciple, he could do it with a little effort, but it was impossible to do more.
It's not because he's ruthless. It's enough to do this just by meeting him several times.
To put it bluntly, if something happened to the little princess, it would be absolutely impossible for him to risk his life to save her.
After all, the little princess is not Sister Hongzhu and the others.
Now, if he takes over this fish dragon, he must keep his promise and do his best to protect the safety of the little princess.
As the saying goes, a gentleman's words are hard to follow. Although he is not a gentleman, he does not bother to be a treacherous person.
Promises are something that really cannot be made casually.
In the inner hall, King Guanshan looked at the hesitation of the young man in front of him and did not urge him.
This matter is no small matter. If the Li family's legitimate son agreed immediately, it would be unbelievable.
I do not know how long it has been.
Li Ziye sighed in his heart, no longer hesitated, nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."
He really needs this fish dragon.
When King Guanshan heard the promise of the young man in front of him, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Thank you very much."
After saying that, King Guanshan handed over the fish dragon in his hand.
Li Ziye took the fish and dragon with a very complicated expression. At this moment, he felt that the fish and dragon were so heavy in his hand.
He had a feeling that this divine object was not so easy to get.
In the future, it might cost him an unimaginable price.
Unfortunately, he had no choice.
A quarter of an hour later.
Li Ziye walked out of the inner hall and returned to his room.
Until daybreak.
Li Ziye and Qin Wegna set off and continued on their way.
Outside Nanyue City.
Li Ziye looked at the fish and dragon in his hand and said, "Master Fairy, I think I suffered a loss this time."
"Um."
Qin Wugna nodded and did not deny it.
It's not worth it for a broken ichthyosaur to have to pay such a commitment.
However, there were priorities, and this kid had no choice.
"Master Fairy, can this broken fish be used to break the pulse?" Li Ziye continued to ask.
"cannot."
Qin Yanna shook her head and said, "There is too little spiritual energy. In order to break your veins last time, I destroyed a complete red crystal stone. With the dragon energy that you and I snatched, I was able to barely break your seventh vein." About 30%, now there is only a broken ichthyosaur, it will not have a very good effect."
"What should we do?" Li Ziye said depressedly.
"There's no other way to go and grab it."
Qin Wanna looked at the southern frontier in front of her, with a cold look in her eyes, and said, "The Wu clan has a long history. Although its luck is not as prosperous as that of the great merchants, it is worse than nothing."
Li Ziye was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, "Stealing the luck of the Witch Clan? Isn't it too risky? After all, you are the only one we can fight here, Master Fairy."
When calculating combat power, Li Ziye directly excluded himself, showing great self-awareness.
If he wants to intervene in a battle at Master Fairy's level, he will basically give it away.
"As far as I know, among the Witch Clan, the Witch Queen's cultivation has reached the peak of the Five Realms. She is indeed very powerful. Although the other great Witch Kings also have several Five Realms, they are not as difficult to deal with as the Witch Queen."
Speaking of this, Qin Grace paused and warned, "When the time comes, you and I will sneak into the Witch Clan together. It would be best if we can not be discovered. If we are accidentally discovered, I will find a way to hold back the Witch Queen and the great Witch Kings. You look for an opportunity to steal their clan-suppressing weapon, and once you get it, run away immediately."
Hearing this, Li Ziye did not hesitate and nodded, "Okay!"
at the same time.
Witch clan.
In the middle of the huge altar.
A young woman sat cross-legged. On the woman's body, strange lines appeared, which were ancient and strange.
The entire altar was unusually quiet, without any sound.
About half an hour later.
The woman suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards the north, a strange color flashed across her face.
There are changes coming from the north!
