The plain-looking woman looked at Gu Qingshan, her eyes moved up from the position blocked by his hands, and met his eyes.
She said calmly: "I am Maria, the princess of the Roland Empire. I have something to tell you, but obviously you should wash off the bloody smell on your body first, and then put on a suitable dress, and then we can talk about things."
"I think so too." Gu Qingshan said.
Maria put her hands behind her hands and turned to leave.
The six maids quickly presented them with brand new dresses and then withdrew.
The door is closed.
"Princess? What do we want from you?" the stuffed duck asked strangely.
"Who knows." Gu Qingshan said.
Crow drew out his stabbing sword, tapped it on himself, and then tapped it on Gu Qingshan.
Firelight flashed across the two men.
The dust and bloody smell on the two men completely dissipated.
"All the filth has been burned away? It's such a sophisticated way of controlling flames."
Gu Qingshan asked with interest.
All the blood in his scalp was burned away, but not a single hair curled or burned due to the high temperature.
Ya slightly said proudly: "I just don't think water is necessary for bathing."
He looked at the stuffed duck and said, "You still have to wash it with water - back wash and sun dry."
The two separated and changed into formal clothes.
"That's enough." Gu Qingshan said loudly.
Snapped!
The door was pushed open.
Six maids walked in, some of them took Crow down to rest, and the others led Gu Qingshan up the stairs to a hanging garden.
Princess Maria is sitting on a bench among flowers and plants, holding a book in her hands.
"Your Highness, he is here," the maid said.
The princess waved her hand and motioned for Gu Qingshan to take a seat on the other side of the table.
"I don't like talking nonsense, Earl Rhodes. I have something to discuss with you," she said.
At this time, everyone else pushed down, leaving only her and Gu Qingshan in the sky garden.
Gu Qingshan looked at her serious look, corrected his attitude, and said:
"Your Highness, please speak."
"Do you think evil spirits are powerful?" Maria asked.
"Since they can no longer leave this world, have experienced body snatching, and cannot use the fate talisman and curse seal techniques that they were good at before, then their defeat is only a matter of time." Gu Qingshan said.
"But now the war has entered a stalemate, hasn't it?" Maria said.
"Yes... this is a bit strange. Is it because we want to preserve our strength?" Gu Qingshan thought deeply.
Maria looked at him and said: "A few days ago, mutations of living beings occurred all over the world. Rhodes, you were also one of the first discoverers."
"Yes, in my town, two evil spirits turned into monsters." Gu Qingshan said.
He suddenly reacted and suddenly changed his color: "Could it be..."
"Yes, the plague has actually arrived, and the top experts are fighting against it." Maria said.
Gu Qingshan released his spiritual thoughts and quickly swept across the entire Holy Crown City.
There was peace and quiet.
"Do you find it strange why you don't see any mutants?" Maria asked.
"Yes, what on earth is going on?" Gu Qingshan said puzzled.
Maria looked at him with an appraising look and said slowly: "You are only fifteen years old. Those adults decided to protect you, so they did not let you enter the fault battle."
"Fault?"
"Yes, the strong men have joined forces to create a fault space. Any mutated infected bodies, or even cities that were completely destroyed by the plague, will be immediately transported to that world due to their repulsion with the laws of the world."
Maria continued: "The real war is actually in that faulty world."
Gu Qingshan reacted and suddenly said: "So it turns out that because the strong men fought on two fronts and dispersed their energy, the evil ghosts were able to temporarily keep the war situation stable."
His heart sank.
I was still wondering why things had returned to calm in the past few days, even though signs of the plague had appeared.
It turns out that the situation has deteriorated to this point.
"Earl Rhodes, I have a proposal now." Maria said.
"What?"
"To be honest, I actually saw that your body is a dragon."
Gu Qingshan was startled and looked at her.
She stared at Gu Qingshan.
"...Yes." Gu Qingshan admitted.
Maria showed a victorious smile and continued: "Earl Rhodes, you and I are both underage, so we are excluded from the real battle by the adults. But if we show our true strength, we are definitely qualified to participate in this battle." war."
Gu Qingshan already understood something.
——If this princess can take him to the war, Gu Qingshan is still willing to agree.
He motioned for her to continue.
As expected, Maria said: "Earl Rhodes, why don't we two cooperate."
"How do you want to cooperate, Your Highness the Princess?" Gu Qingshan asked.
Maria said: "If you want to enter the fault world to fight, you must be over 18 years old, and then your strength reaches the standard. You and I have no problem with our strength, but there is a little age difference, so I have a compromise here."
"What solution?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"The summoner and his summoned being, regardless of their strength or age, can be combined and calculated together." Maria said.
"In this way, both of us are old enough." Gu Qingshan said.
"Do you agree?" Maria asked.
"I agree, I just don't know how to do it specifically."
"It's simple. You sign a contract with me and become my summoning mount."
Gu Qingshan was stunned.
"You... ride me?" he asked.
"Yes, even though you are just a young dragon, you have the experience of killing a demon scale dragon, and you are worthy of me." Maria said.
Gu Qingshan was silent for a while and reluctantly said: "Can't it be a battle summoning spell? I will be your battle summoning partner?"
Maria frowned and said, "You mean to be my pet?"
"...I'm talking about summoning combat partners." Gu Qingshan said.
"That's called a battle pet, or a pet." Maria said firmly.
"I don't fight like a pet." Gu Qingshan said with more certainty.
The two looked at each other.
Maria finally said: "Yes, we should know each other's strength better. This will help us unite and cooperate better to deal with the plague monster in the fault."
"I agree." Gu Qingshan said.
"Then let's just have a simple fight?"
"Can."
"Earl, take action."
"You are a lady, you go first." Gu Qingshan said.
If there was a real fight, would you use a bow and arrow or your fists? Or a sword?
Gu Qingshan thought to himself.
Since the identity of the dragon clan has been exposed, it is acceptable for a dragon to master other combat skills besides bow and arrow.
This woman looks very strong, maybe she is good at swordsmanship.
Gu Qingshan put his hand on the table and didn't move.
Maria smiled and said: "Earl Rhodes, if I strike first, you will have no chance."
"Please." Gu Qingshan said.
Maria stretched out her hand and waved lightly.
Snap!
Maria slapped herself.
The two of them were stunned at the same time.
