A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 249. Chapter 249

“Trust me, jump down—”

Novi knelt on the edge of the earth cliff, looking at Garlan, who opened his hand below.

His hands were tightly clenched.

The dark blue eyes flickered, clearly struggling hard.

Can’t believe that person.

No one can believe it.

…No one he can believe in is no longer in this world…

He still has blood and blood.

He must live, and he must live by any means.

At such a high place, he is likely to die if he jumps.

And if, as the person said, he would catch himself, the other person’s arm would definitely be hurt or even broken.

So, in case the person below is just lying to him…or, if you regret halfway…

Yes, I can’t believe it.

In this world, no one but oneself can believe it.

Novi’s fingertips were almost deeply digging into the ground. He took a deep breath and forced himself to look away from Garlan below.

Nothing.

Originally, the matter had nothing to do with this person, it was oneself that caused him.

So no matter if this person can escape, he won’t feel guilty anymore.

As for yourself, just follow the idea just now, directly invest in the teaching of all things, and use the power of the teaching of all things to avenge yourself.

The child thought, stood up, turned and walked along the way he had come.

At the end of the long road, in the stone gate, several followers of the Sect of All Things in black and blue robes appeared from it.

Seeing the boy standing alone before the broken road, they showed surprise and rushed towards the boy.

Novi stood blankly at the end of the broken road, looking at the cultists approaching him.

Soon, he will become one of them.

Even doing the same thing as them, killing countless innocent children as sacrifices…

No matter how indifferent the face was, the child’s clenched knuckles were so white.

Do you really want to be one of these monsters in human skin?

Like these people, kill innocent children with your own hands and drain their blood?

Does he really… want to become the person he hates most?

At a thought, it is hell.

The child looked at his hand blankly.

He just remembered the warmth of his sister’s hand… the same as that person’s hand…

[Come, follow me. 】

[Run forward, don’t look back. 】

【Believe me! 】

…

The important prey is right in front of him, and the child who has nowhere to go seems to have given up running away, standing still on the spot, motionless.

The child lowered his head, biting his lower lip, his shaggy forehead scattered in front of his eyes, blocking most of his face, making it difficult to see the look on his face.

The believers of the Cult of All Things don’t care what their prey is thinking at the moment, after all, the order they received was just to catch this live.

The person at the front was only a few steps away from the boy.

The distance is less than one hundred meters.

Just a few more seconds.

Arrived soon, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the child who was close at hand–

However, at this moment, the child who had been standing still, suddenly turned around.

The child rushed towards the broken road ahead.

Even if there was a high cliff ahead, he used all his strength to rush forward fiercely.

Then, take a leap.

The outstretched hand of the believer in the front of the Ten Thousand Things Sect grabbed a void.

He opened his eyes wide, but he could only watch the thin figure fall in front of him.

…

One thought hell.

One thought of heaven.

The weightless body fell from high altitude.

The wind whizzed in my ears, and there was a terrible buzzing sound.

The wind brushing his cheeks cut his skin like a knife.

The heart almost stopped beating and jumped out of the mouth.

He opened his eyes with difficulty, but was stunned to see that the young man waiting under the cliff had retreated some distance from where he fell.

His heart panicked in an instant.

Are you going to die?

he thinks.

Did he believe it wrong? So is he going to die here?

At this moment, the young man standing not far away suddenly moved.

Gallan rushed towards the place where Novi fell.

Just before Novi was about to fall to the ground, Gallan jumped forward and jumped forward.

Instead of reaching out to pick up Novi directly, he reached out and grabbed Novi’s hand and collar, and pulled hard in the air.

From the side, it was as if Gallan slammed forward and knocked Novi, who had fallen vertically, into a sideways flight.

Novi only felt that his body was being pulled by a strong force, and his whole body rolled in the air.

He was dragged and turned by Garlan, and then hugged.

The two made an arc in the air and fell to the ground diagonally.

The huge momentum and inertia made them unable to stop, and the two of them rolled on the ground for more than a dozen laps without stopping.

In the end, there was a puff, and it rolled into the underground river not far away, splashing large swaths of water.

Novi was dizzy and dizzy by the tumbling roll just now. He suddenly fell into the water, and he was frightened and struggling desperately when he couldn’t swim.

After he choked several salivas in a panic, someone grabbed him from the bottom of the water when he was about to sink.

As soon as he surfaced, he ignored the others, and subconsciously hugged the person who was pulling him tightly, and then coughed violently, making the corners of his eyes red.

Fortunately, his body is wet now, and his face is soggy, making it impossible to see whether the drops of water from his forehead leaking from the corners of his red eyes, or…

He thought that it must be just the physiological tears he coughed up, without any other meaning.

He thought so, resisting the sorrow and sorrow from the tip of his nose, and continued to cough desperately.

While coughing, he firmly grasped the person next to him.

After a while, he eased his breath and slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the young man in front of him.

The boy was originally covered in dust, and his face was stained with dust and blood.

But at this moment, the long gray hair that was originally gray was immersed in the water, revealing the original gold-like luster, even in the dim underground, it seemed to be glowing.

Most of his face was washed clean, revealing the true face of a young man.

The child’s dark blue pupils shrank violently for a moment.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the past.

A long time ago, in that bright garden, when his important people were still by his side, his father and king smiled and unfolded a picture of a beautiful blond boy before him and his sister.

“…Gallan…the crown prince?”

He stared blankly at the same face as in the portrait, and called out the name like a dream.

Carrying the boy who was already sluggish, Gallan smiled at him slightly, and then led him to swim towards the river.

They rolled down the underground river under inertia, rushing a little far from the shore.

Trying to swim to the river, Garlan just stretched out his hand, before he had time to grasp the rock by the river, suddenly he heard a squeak, and an arm in black and red hand armor stretched out in front of his eyes and grabbed his hand. .

At the same time, a familiar voice sounded.

“I’m sorry I am late, Your Majesty.”

The blond knight who knelt on one knee by the river held his majesty’s hand firmly.

He grasped very tightly, and one-eyed also fixedly looked at Garlan, as if he was afraid that when he let go of his hand and blinked, the other party would disappear in front of his eyes.

He looked at Garlan without blinking, smiled and said, “I’m very happy to see you with my own eyes.”

Following Kaihus’s words, the little black rat squatting obediently at his feet squeaked unwillingly, as if asking for credit.

After all, even if the road to the underground palace is opened up by removing the gravel, and there is no black rat sniffing the smell to lead them, it is impossible for Kaihuos and his party to find Gal in this vast maze-like underground palace so quickly. Orchid.

In addition to Kaijos, dozens of elite knights who followed Kaijos down to search also leaned down and knelt behind.

The faces of the knights were either relieved or delighted.

“Fortunately, it’s not too late, a little earlier than I thought.”

Gallan smiled.

He knew that Kayjos would find him soon, so even if he didn’t know the way out, he wasn’t very nervous.

He trusted his guardian knight.

This has always been the case.

“Kyjos, haven’t you found a trace of Himos on the way here?”

After scanning the crowd, he didn’t find the familiar figure, and Garlan asked.

Kaihus shook his head.

“No trace of Lord Huimos was found.”

“Uh… It seems that when I come out in the future, the sachet you gave me will have to give Huimos one too.”

“I didn’t think about it well.”

Kaihus replied.

He also didn’t expect that Huimos would separate from Garlan.

After all, as long as he went out, Huimos had always followed Garlan closely and stayed on.

“Ah, yes, go on.”

Gallan finally remembered that he was still holding a child in his hand, and both of them were still soaking in the water.

He pushed the child to the shore.

Kaihus stretched out his other hand to grasp it, and gently lifted the child from the water, and put it aside.

Then, he helped Garlan up from the underground river with both hands.

The child didn’t seem to recover yet, staring at Garlan blankly.

“Did you save this child?”

“Well…”

Standing by the river, Garlan twisted his wet hair casually.

He looked at Kaijos and asked, “Before you sent someone to send an interrogation to say that you rescued the Prince of West Asia.”

When Gallan said this, he glanced to the side, and he clearly saw the face of the little boy who had been sluggish suddenly changed.

“I’m sorry, the cultist deceived me with a stand-in. The prince I rescued was a fake.”

Kehos said, “I have asked a team of knights to accompany Kanal’s knights to continue searching.”

As for whether he found it, he didn’t know.

After all, Garlan was in danger at the time, so he didn’t have the mind to care about the prince of West Asia.

“keep the change.”

Gallan said, then lowered his head and smiled at Novi, who was pursing his lips.

“Right, Prince West Asia?”

He didn’t think much about it at first, thinking that the child was just a sacrifice that escaped in chaos, but then gradually felt something was wrong.

The little boy’s behavior doesn’t look like an ordinary child.

Although he looks thin and weak, his eyes are a bit fierce, but his gestures and gestures seem to have been taught by good etiquette-not deliberately, but has become accustomed to nature.

And… it’s just an ordinary sacrifice, the believers of the All Things Sect will not be so crazy.

Later, the words said by’Novi’ made him affirm his guess.

When Gallan said this, the child’s pupils trembled, and Xia looked up, looking at the boy in front of her with complicated eyes.

The man he was looking forward to day and night.

He had imagined the moment he met the crown prince countless times.

How to talk to the other party, how to show weakness, how to impress the other party to help yourself.

He has simulated it countless times in his heart.

But he never expected that his meeting with the former Aaron Landis prince and the current King Aaron Landis would be in such an incredible way.

Kayhus was taken aback when Garland said that, and then turned to look at West Asia.

“…Prince West Asia?”

He said, looking at Xia with a clearly questioning look.

After a moment of silence, Xia nodded.

“Yes.”

He admitted.

“I am the Prince of West Asia of Canal.”

He leaned over and knelt before Garlan.

“Thank you for saving me from the teaching of all things, King Garlan, I have been looking forward to meeting you, I…”

Opening his mouth, for a while, I didn’t know what to say.

West Asia’s eyes revealed a bit of confusion.

A certain inexplicable emotion filled his chest, which swelled so much that his heart swelled faintly.

Obviously he has a lot of words, but I don’t know what to say.

In a trance, he remembered that day again.

In the bright sunny garden, the unfolded portrait, the father and the father holding the portrait, comfort the sister Wang who usually touches her head…

He closed his eyes and clenched his hands.

Sister Wang.

This must be your guide.

You have been guarding me in the kingdom of heaven, and you led me to this person.

You are always by my side… are you?

“I……”

“Whether it is to thank you or anything else, there is still a long time for you to say in the future.”

Garland said,

“Now I have to find someone, so don’t waste time, it’s time to go, keep up.”

Find someone?

Xia was taken aback, and as soon as she looked up, she saw that Garlan had already left, and ignoring the complicated thoughts in her heart, she quickly got up and chased after him.

He also tended to follow Garlan, remembering the conversation between Garlan and Kayjos that he had just heard, and asked in a low voice: “You are going to find that… Your Excellency Huimos ?”

Huimos.

Of course he knows this person.

This is the black knight whom I admired very much before.

Gallan hadn’t answered yet, but Kaihus suddenly spoke.

“Something is wrong.”

He frowned and looked at the underground river beside him, with a solemn expression in his eyes.

“Your Majesty, I smell blood.”

Kaihus said,

“From the upper reaches of this underground river.”

“………………”

Gallan stopped.

“His Majesty?”

“Blood smell…”

After a moment of silence, Gallan spoke.

“Along this underground river, go upstream.”

“But……”

“It is more possible to find a special place to converge than to search aimlessly.”

Gallan said, “If you can feel Kayjos, then Hiemos should also be able to feel the abnormality there, and he will probably also go there.”

In order to find him, Huimos would certainly not let go of any unusual or dangerous place.

“and……”

“and?”

“……nothing.”

Garlan looked towards the upper reaches of the underground river.

Obviously he didn’t have the keen sense of smell as Kaihuos, but he seemed to feel it too, and the rotten and bloody breath of Ruoyu Ruowu permeated.

The same breath as in his dream brought some ominous omen.

It’s like in that direction, something terrible is about to happen…

…………

Garlan and his group walked upstream along the narrow underground river. They were moving very fast, and the slow-moving Sia was carried by a knight.

The place where they had been walking should be deeper underground in this stone temple, completely dark, with almost no traces of artificial carvings.

Fortunately, Kaihus brought people down to find Garlan with torches, so that he could move forward in the dark underground cave.

It didn’t take long that not only Kaihuos, but more and more people also smelled the smell of blood.

The more you go up, the more the bloody smell becomes stronger.

As they moved on, everyone found that the water in the underground river had faintly changed color.

And the further up, the darker the color.

At the end, under the faint light of the torch, it can be clearly seen that the water in the underground river has turned red.

At this time, Gallan and his party had already reached the source of this underground river.

In this vast underground grotto like a sky, the underground river flows from the cracks in the rock wall like a mountain in front.

There are black rocks all around, with jagged rocks.

This area is full of gloom and exudes a strange cold air that can penetrate into the bones. The bugs and spiders that can be seen everywhere in the ground are gone, as if the living creatures here cannot survive, and there is no anger.

Even the moss that was spreading in the stone walls and crevices just now disappeared here.

The dark and dull underground caves all the way light up suddenly.

Everyone saw that there were finally artificial traces in front.

Dozens of rough stone steps appeared in the front, and short stone pillars with a brazier burning at the top stood on both sides of the stone steps, shining a faint fire light in this vast underground grotto.

On the rough stone steps, a huge stone gate stood in front of everyone.

This stone gate is more than ten meters high and looks very majestic.

People standing under this door can only look up, and it looks very small.

The black stone exudes a gloomy atmosphere, and the black and cyan copper pattern is wrapped on the stone door, reflecting the light of the fire, emitting the unique cold luster of metal, which looks like a bronze door.

Bronze wraps the pitch-black forehead stone, hollowed out on it, presenting a complicated pattern on the edge of the stone door.

In the middle of the stone gate, the bronze pierced pattern snakes and outlines a huge rune.

There was silence, and no one spoke.

The faint fire light reflected the stone gate. In the gap under the stone gate, a stream of bright red liquid flowed out from under the stone gate like a trickle, flowing over the flat black cyan stone slab in front of the stone gate, and then along the rough The stone steps flowed down.

It’s like a waterfall of blood.

The strong smell of blood came over the sky, and the blood flowing from the stone steps flowed into the underground river, and only then did the water in it become bloody.

The scene before him made everyone look solemn.

They have vaguely guessed that behind this huge stone gate, the cultists of the Sect of All Things are probably doing extremely terrible things.

The boy’s voice rang in the darkness, breaking the heavy silence at this moment.

“Enter the door.”

Gallan said, taking the lead and moving forward.

Stepping on the rough stone steps with blood flowing, the soles of his boots were stained blood in an instant.

When stepping on the bleeding stone steps to the bluestone square above, everyone was stagnant.

The knights looked at the front in disbelief, one by one, like petrified, froze in place.

Someone is walking towards them.

From under the majestic and huge stone gate inlaid with bronze, came towards them.

The man stopped in front of the stone gate, like the guardian of the stone gate.

The jet-black boots stepped on the blood flowing from the gurgling underground of Shimen, splashing bright red blood beads all around.

The silver-white long sword pointed to the ground, and the familiar and handsome face was reflected in the faint light of fire.

He stepped on the blood flowing across the place and walked towards everyone.

Under the pitch-black hair, the blood-red pupils reflected Garlan and everyone on the opposite side, with naked|naked killing intent.
