"Is this... the end?"
After struggling to climb up to the roof of the carriage, Chris left his exhausted body under the sunshine accompanied by the howling wind. His face that should have been full of handsomeness from the imperial royal family but was now full of fear and struggle was also stained with blood. It was vaguely visible among the messy hair, and finally, together with the constant bumping sounds from all around, it headed directly above him, who was lying on his back - relying on the strength that exploded at the time of his life and death or his own innate luck, the former prince of the empire His Highness finally escaped to the front of the train. However, for him who had no ability to fly or any strength, the iron train in front of him, which was still speeding towards the east, seemed to be his current situation. The escape was "endless".
There is another carriage in front of him. Logically speaking, it should be the place where the magical driving force of the train is controlled. However, regardless of whether there are heavy guards there, even if he really rushes in, he seems to have nothing to do - is it possible? Do you want to stop this car and let the people from the principality catch you?
A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth involuntarily. Chris's tight nerves, which had been running all the way here, were inexplicably relaxed at this moment. He completely spread his arms, allowing more power to roar by. The cold wind flowed away from my hands: "What on earth am I doing?"
The cold wind turned into a cold blade as it flew by at high speed, as if it wanted to deprive Chris of his right to breathe. However, the sunlight falling from the high altitude brought a bit of warmth to him at this time, just like covering the air. He was wrapped around him like a quilt. His eyes began to become more and more confused, and Chris's heavy breathing gradually disappeared. He listened to the rhythmic bumps of the train and the singing of the cold wind, and scenes of himself emerged in his field of vision. It looked like a very familiar scene: "Father...Mother...I...is not a sinner..."
"Imperial Palace... I am the youngest warrior in the history of the royal family of the Frey Empire. West Ralph Fortress... Ah, the sunset there is so beautiful..."
"Ah, beautiful purple flower, beautiful lady, you are the most noble lady I have ever seen. How I want...how much I want...no, no, I don't admit it..."
"me……"
Time seemed to become very fast at this moment, and also seemed to become very slow. The eyes of Chris lying on the roof of the car became more and more blurred in the memories that appeared in front of him, and the subconscious whispers gradually became blurry. Can't hear clearly. The revolving scene passed through the consciousness at the speed of light, and finally the scene of a player dressed as a maid scorning him was frozen in the back and the reflection of countless metal threads. This shocked the body of the prince who was about to fall into a coma. The eyes that were about to close suddenly became clear: "No! Wait a minute -"
He sat up suddenly, and what he saw was the scene of two figures facing each other on the roof of the car in front of him. Because he had the wind behind him, it was difficult for him to hear clearly what the two people were saying. He could only judge from the shape and appearance of the two figures. In his memory, he vaguely discerned that one of them was the girl he had been chasing from the city: "I have already caught up...how is this possible..."
"I know, but I am too...so just leave it to me, okay?"
"...No! You are no longer us...why...do you look down on our stupid...hazardous group?"
"Don't be anxious. When will I...I have discussed with Xu Yuliu Shang before to arrange a place for you--"
Yes.
His consciousness became clear again in the embrace of winter and the passage of time. Chris gradually regained control of his situation. He subconsciously looked at the vast plains that were retreating at high speed to the left and right, and then lowered his gaze back to When he arrived at the two adventurers in front, one gray and one black, he said, "Yes, I should be very valuable at this time."
"The trial is not over yet, and the collapse of the square will probably not be able to hide my traces. Whether it is the principality or the empire, they should want to take me back, right?" Chris held the roof of the car with one hand, trying to use this strength Help yourself to sit up: "I don't know how much money the reward is for me right now...Hey."
"Hello!"
"Hey! You two!"
The initial sound was too low, so Chris had to increase his volume to attract the attention of the two people over there: "You! Stop making noise over there! Can you please stop disturbing others' dreams?"
"Let me ask you, are you here to catch me?" Faced with the strange gazes of the two people looking at him without saying a word, Chris curled his lips and forced the conversation to go down: "If not, then When I didn’t ask, if it was——"
"I have a request."
He waved to the figure in gray robes who was slightly closer to him. The ragged and depressed look was like a beggar greeting a passerby. However, before the "passerby" could wake up from the situation in front of him, Coming over, a rising cyan magic storm from further behind him exploded like a tornado: "Realm of Wind!"
"I saw him!"
In the scene where several figures were blown away by the explosive emerald green storm, one figure fell towards the front of the car with a heavy roar. Carrying a big sword, he seemed to recognize the figure lying half-lying at the end of the carriage in the air. Chris' identity, but the momentum of flying over was blocked by the gray-robed magician below who suddenly raised a wall of wind: "Hey, hey, what do you want to do? Want to go over? Do you have my permission? ?」
"——The Sky-Breaking Blade! Don't think that we really dare not touch you!"
"Come on then, what's the point of showing off your power just by talking about it - huh?"
He opened his arms and made a "come here" look. Duan Qing's taunting words just now were interrupted by a petite black figure passing by him. He was about to stop him, but then he felt a pressure in front of him. The black wind was accompanied by a shield that was zooming in the field of vision: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"You damn thing!" Duan Qing couldn't help but uttered a curse word. Duan Qing, who was pressed against the surface of the shield, pointed at Jiangshan Ruhua, who was very close at hand, and loudly accused: "Who can't you stop? Who asked you to stop? ?Did you do it on purpose?"
"Who told you to leave me over there? You always think that you will get the better of it, right?" Jiang Shan Ruhua, who was still charging forward against the gray-robed magician, replied angrily: "Just think of it as retribution. !」
"Wait! You-"
There was no time to make any more excuses, and the body belonging to Duan Qing had already flew out from the fierce shield of Jiangshan. The figure in gray robe also drew a diagonal line under the flying wind, and moved precariously towards the front of the train. The far end falls. Mengzhu, who was about to grab Chris's hand, paused slightly. Mengzhu, who had already jumped across the gap between the carriages, also raised her head due to this sudden change. However, a dim light appeared outside the carriage at the moment she was separated. The dark energy blade was then knocked away by a wind blade from Duan Qing just before it passed her neck: "——Who?"
"You, a blind cat, can get into trouble with this." A muffled sigh came from the car under the metal roof, but the attacker seemed to have no intention of showing up: "Sure enough, I have been discovered. Does it exist?"
The movement of wanting to pounce down stopped in mid-air. Mengzhu, who glanced at Chris, finally resisted the urge to fight back at the attacker. A clanging metal collision from behind her also began to erupt in the penultimate step. On the second train of carriages, a close hand-to-hand battle also appeared right in front of Mengzhu, who turned to warn: "——If you know what you are looking for, give way!"
"Why? You just slashed me a lot, right? I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
"I thought you were also an ally who had an old grudge against the Sky-Breaking Blade, and there was still a little possibility of cooperation between us." Following the movement of Huanhai Kuangxing, he launched an attack, and Tiannanxing, who arrived later, cooperated to cut down the The sword light also made the jingling sound on the surface of Jiangshan's picturesque shield become more intense: "Now it seems that I was worrying too much."
"Bah! Knowing that you are from the side of the Magic Empire, wouldn't it be courting death to talk about cooperation?" Jiang Shan's picturesque voice turned into a dull sigh after blocking with a skilled shield: "So
"No, we don't know him."
The two sword warriors cooperated with each other to suppress the attack. Jiangshan Ruhua could only parry and was unable to raise his head. The appearance of Fengqiao Tingyu who came from the far end of the train also made the situation worse. He continued to guide the magic in his hands.
He did not launch an attack immediately, but took the lead in saying hello to his two companions: "The pursuers behind have been temporarily trapped by my 'Wall of Storms, and they should not be able to interfere with us in the short term."
"As expected of a former professional veteran, I can tell you that this little trouble won't trouble you." The praise belonging to Tiannanxing came from the fierce battle sound: "Then should we hurry up a little bit?"
"No, wait a minute." Wrapped in wind-colored energy, his body floated a little. Fengqiao listened to the sound of rain and fell to the other side across the small battlefield of three people: "In order not to cause more unnecessary casualties, I I think we need to have a brief exchange."
"Your Highness Prince Chris, you know we are here for you."
The sight of the constantly flying plains and the wild winds were shrouded in this straight line of horizontal confrontation. The sound coming from the rain on the maple bridge protected by the wind magic was not affected at all: "But we are not here to kill. Yours, we just want to take you to another safe place. After all, you have now become a felon in the principality, and there is no other place to escape, right?"
"Don't listen to their nonsense." Before Chris, who was half lying on the ground, could answer, Mengzhu stood up and stood in front of him with a cold face: "The principality treats you as a felon, but if you go to the magic It’s the empire’s territory, so there’s no telling what they will regard you as.”
"Don't spread such random rumors, Ms. Mengzhu, our Magic Empire is also a normal country, not a place that eats people." Fengqiao Tingyu replied helplessly: "And... through some simple and small means, you I also heard the conversation just now, we might as well make our position clear first, and then——"
"How about you listen to the opinions of the person involved?"
As he said these words, he directed everyone's attention to Chris. The figure belonging to Duan Qing also appeared at the front of the high-speed train after a period of difficult crawling, and Jiang Shanru, who had temporarily stopped the fierce confrontation, Hua and the others looked at Chris's face together: "Speaking of which, you just said you had a request. Can you elaborate on it?"
"..."
Faced with the previous series of remarks and the attention-grabbing inquiries, Chris's face did not show any emotion at this time. He just looked back and forth at the faces of these people, and his slightly loose gaze finally fell on himself. :"All right."
"To be specific, I have two requests." His voice paused obviously, and then he continued: "One of the requests - or commission, was originally intended to take into account your status as adventurers. Released directly to you."
"Adventurers must receive rewards when accepting commissions. It seems that you have little ability to pay now." Among everyone present who was attracted by the scene, only Duan Qing suddenly added such inappropriate words: "I'm sorry, but I have to Just a little reminder."
"Of course I can afford to pay enough, and I am your adventurer's favorite treasure." Chris shook his head and replied: "I only wonder if you are willing to accept this commission - take me to a place where no one can Find my place."
"I am willing to give up everything I have and spend the rest of my life in peace."
The air froze for a moment as his words fell. It seemed that the people present needed some time to understand and think about the explanation he added later. Fengqiao Tingyu, who was confronting Duan Qing from afar, became the first After finishing thinking, the people spread their arms and made a welcoming gesture towards Chris: "No problem, we are willing to accept it."
"Don't believe him." Mengzhu's accusation followed closely: "Their Wings of Freedom can't be trusted! Everyone behind them can't be trusted either!"
"I know there may be some misunderstandings between us, Ms. Mengzhu, but not all arrests are carried out for evil purposes." Fengqiao Tingyu replied without changing his expression: "I can swear that our actions are not In order to use His Royal Highness’s identity to fulfill his request, there is no conflict with our operational goals.”
"That is to say, your operation is not for kidnapping, is it?" Duan Qing, who was floating on the other end, smiled softly: "Interesting."
"I want to take this former prince back, but I don't want to
It's for the value that his name represents... Well, it seems that it's for him. "
