Chapter 87: Cross me ("Warrior Princess" (4)...)

Chapter 87:
"Warrior Princess" (4)
The legend of the evil dragon territory has been circulated in the human race for hundreds of years.
The bards compose the horrible and terrible adventure stories into poetry, so the children of the human race are familiar with the danger here, and the adults will threaten to say "throw you into the territory of the evil dragon if you don't obey." At that time, no matter how crazy children heard it, they would be frightened and silenced.
Everyone knows that this is the forbidden area of ​​the human race, a cursed dark place.
According to the rumors, at the core of the dark land, across the entire territory of the dragon, you can see the dragon castle alongside the moon. Occasionally, travelers passing through the forest outside the territory will hear the high-pitched and clear dragon's roar at the end of the long night. But no one had ever seen that castle. The corpses of the brave men paved the way into the Dragon City, and the bones that stretched out to the sky of night were cold, like unwilling and desperate pilgrimages.
But the legend ends today
After trekking through a long silence like death, cutting away the last piece of thorns intertwined into a net, Gu Nian and his party finally saw the end of this long night.
What appeared in their field of vision was a hideous and strange castle.
After the towering and terrifying shadows poured into the long night under the moonlight, they looked like giant beasts, as if they were about to swallow up the night sky.
"It's evil... Dragon Castle..."
Someone in the guard team regained consciousness after a chill, and said with a shudder.
Gu Nianruwoke up, frowning and turning back.
The slender figure stood calmly behind her, long black hair fell from his shoulders, and the cold moonlight slipped from above.
He slightly raised his head and looked at the castle that was also frightening in the night, but his eyes were calm and lonely, as if the castle was to look up at his lowly creation.
But only for a moment.
After an instant, he bowed his head, his gentle and harmless gaze caught Gu Nian's, "Your Highness?"
Gu Nian returned to his senses and sighed lightly: "Thank you."
"Thank what?"
"With you, we can get here so smoothly."
"For Your Highness, this is what I should do."
"..."
Gu Nian did not expect them to walk here unimpededly like this
Except that when the horses first entered the edge of the dragon territory, they were frightened by the breath of some monster beast in the air and fled away privately. On the next whole road, they did not encounter any invading monster. beast.
The white bones on the side of the road all talk about the blood and danger on this road, but the repairs leading the way seem to have a magical perception that can take them perfectly to avoid any danger.
So all the way to this point, apart from someone who accidentally ingested highly toxic wild fruits, there was no damage to personnel.
Obviously all these are due to repair.
Gu Nian should have been fortunate for the surprise, but the near-death-long journey made her feel a little uneasy.
The fierce battle is coming, she doesn't have so much time to think about it.
Gu Nian turned around and whispered to the captain of the guard: "Order to let everyone rest on the spot, don't light a fire, try not to make any noise, and prepare to enter."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The need to rest naturally also includes consideration.
While she was resting on the rock while drinking water, her maid sneaked forward from the corner behind the line.
Before entering the outskirts of the evil dragon territory, the maid said with tears that she would die and she must be by your side. But courage and loyalty obviously cannot be used as a bonus to physical fitness. It did not delay her all the way. At the end.
By this time, the maid still had a pale face. But she rarely looked tense and looked very nervous, close to Gu Nian.
"His Royal Highness..."
"Huh?" Gu Nian looked up.
"Do you think this cultivation is a bit weird?" The maid looked at the slender figure standing beside the thorns in the distance, "How can he, how can he lead us through the territory of the dragon and return Doesn't encounter any danger, as if you know it well?"
Gu Nian nodded: "Very mysterious."
"This is not a mysterious question," the maid turned back. "Do you think he... really is a human?"
"Yeah." Gu Nian answered firmly.
"Why is your Highness so sure?"
"Where is our war horse."
"Run, ran?"
"Well, animals are much more sensitive to the breath of monsters than humans. If they were not human, they should have reacted."
"..."
The maid breathed a sigh of relief, and her shoulders dropped loosely, "That's right, he is so mysterious, so I started to think about it, how can there be monsters in this world that can transform into human form"
As if thinking of something, the maid's words stopped suddenly, and she looked at Gu Nian.
After Gu Nian and her looked at each other, she smiled clearly: "The half-demon boy saved back then, except for the jewel scales on his forehead, the horses and the cattle and sheep that were raised dared not approach him."
"…Great."
The maid was completely relieved.
She shook the kettle with water in Gu Nian's hand. After she was quiet, she suddenly whispered, "And even if he is not a human, I won't do anything."
"?!" The maid looked back in surprise.
"As far as this matter is concerned, the process is not important. The result is important. My purpose is only one." Gu Nian raised his gaze and looked at the dormant castle in his vision, "Slaying the dragon."
"His Royal Highness..."
The princess in light armor got up with a spear. She turned sideways, facing the captain of the guard standing on the side in the darkness, her voice was light and firm: "Go."
"Yes."
It was a fierce battle.
After stepping through the gate of the castle, everything that was dim in front of her suddenly turned into the dazzling white snow and icy cold wind, Gu Nian suddenly remembered that she had read it in an ancient book in the palace collection: Legendary The evil dragon is the best at illusion, killing people invisible.
Gu Nian was too late to remind everyone.
The ferocious wolves and monsters in the ice and snow, the man-eating magma lizards in the raging fire, the cold puppet soldiers at the foot of the Bone Knife Mountain...
The guard squad fell down beside her one by one, bright red blood staining her vision. Gu Nian didn't stay and didn't retreat. She stepped forward step by step with blood flowing like a river under her feet.
The illusion also has an end.
As long as you kill the dragon that can plant this kind of illusion in its deep sleep, all the companions who died in the illusion can be resurrected.
The cloud of shadow over the kingdom will eventually be dispersed.
The last place.
The maid's blood stained Gu Nian's light armor.
She fell down, crawling towards Gu Nian's feet, and Gu Nian stretched out her hand to pull her, and then watched the hand pass through her hand, dissipating like a bubble phantom.
What dissipated together was the endless fantasy void before her eyes.
I don't know when, Gu Nian has stood alone in the deepest part of the castle.
The ten-person-high door in front of her opened wide, and inside the door was filled with a room larger than her king's palace, like a discarded stone.
Among the dozens of heavy-bearing pillars, treasures that can blind people's eyes are piled up into a brilliant golden mountain.
A black dragon coiled around it, and the dragon's tail was thrown at Gu Nian's feet. Its slender body circled the entire Jinshan Mountain, while its huge head was resting on the top of the mountain, with its eyes closed and a dumpling in front of the dragon's mouth. .
That thing should be made of pure gold. Seen from the silhouette half hidden in the dragon's mouth, it looks like a pure gold chair.
The dragon slept peacefully, as if he didn't realize that his nest had been smashed by someone, and his tongue licked the pure gold "chair" from time to time, as if he couldn't put down his "hand" in a dream.
Looking at the naive evil dragon, Gu Nian's eyes were cold. What she saw was not the scene in front of her, but countless companions poured into the blood pool of its illusion and killing in front of her eyes, countless cities collapsed in the dragon's tail that unconsciously entangled her in its sleep. under.
Gu Nian squeezed the spear in his hand.
Before she took the first step out, she covered her eyes with one hand.
The darkness came suddenly.
Gu Nian stopped abruptly. She turned her head, and smelled a faint ice-like coolness in the blood: "...Xiu?"
"it's me."
The voice was gentle and deep.
This gentleness made people dazed after the killing. Gu Nian was taken aback for a moment before she returned to her mind and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I should do things like Dragon Slaying for His Highness, right?"
"you"
"His Royal Highness only needs to close your eyes and wait. I will send everything you want back to your feet."
"..."
The sound of repair seems to have some magical power.
In his words, Gu Nian slowly closed his eyes unconsciously, until his hands withdrew, and her eyes were still dark.
Gu Nian heard footsteps walking past her.
After death.
There was a sudden dragon roar, like a long river of time since ancient times, and he went straight up, tearing through the sky, and overturning the sun, the moon, and the world.
Gu Nian opened her eyes in panic.
In the final Qingming consciousness, she only saw the golden and blood rain all over the sky, the dragon's ears were painful, and the dragon's body was dying to move.
Only one thing fell and hit her hard.
It was the pure gold "chair" that the dragon was not willing to let go when he was sleeping.
Not a chair.
It was her vanity mirror that had been with her for many, many years and was taken away by the evil dragon.
Gu Nian felt a sudden in her heart.
Her consciousness plunged into darkness.
...
Open your eyes again, it is the border of the kingdom outside Dragon City.
The stars sprinkled finely in the dark night sky, blinking at the princess who woke up lying in the sleeping net woven by the vines.
Gu Nian stayed for a while, suddenly turned over and sat up: "Xiu"
By the bonfire, the slender figure had a meal.
The brown eyes looked back gently: "Awake?"
Before I could return to mind, a shadow rushed over, crying: "His Royal Highness, you finally woke up! You scared me to death!"
"..."
Gu Nian stared blankly at the maid leaning on her legs and crying. The scene of the maid falling in front of her in the illusion was still under her eyes. She seemed to remember the hot temperature of the blood splashing on her cold armor.
And this...
Gu Nian raised her hand and touched the head of the maid who fell on her knee to cry.
The maid hid in tears, crying and hiccuping back: "His Royal Highness, didn't we say that when we are done, we will not touch my head!"
Gu Nian was startled and smiled: "Fortunately, it is true."
"What...what is true?" the maid asked, her eyes flushed with tears.
Gu Nian was stunned, withdrew her hand, lowered her head and asked her: "You have forgotten all the things in the fantasy world of Dragon City Castle?"
The maid shook her head blankly: "I don't remember everything after entering the castle. The same goes for everyone else."
"Then how did you come back?"
"It's like having a dream. There is a voice in the dream urging us to leave, and when we wake up, we are already here."
"..."
Gu Nian raised her head subconsciously and looked at the man by the campfire. The man had stood up, and only gave her a smiley and soothing look.
Without waiting for Gu Nian to speak, the maid beside him suddenly said excitedly: "By the way, your lord, look!"
"what?"
Gu Nian looked back, and followed the maid raised her arm to point behind her.
Behind her, the original dragon territory has disappeared. Instead, there is a vast expanse of sinkholes. The bottomless tiankeng floats with obscured clouds and mist, and the center, as if in the center of the tiankeng at the end of the sky, is a stone pillar that rises to the sky.
It is the evil dragon pillar.
And the dragon head, it is the castle that looks rugged and strange, isolated in the tiankeng.
Gu Nian sees gains and losses.
The maid was flushed with excitement beside her: "Your Highness, you really did it! From now on, the human race and the dragon castle are separated by the sky. The dragon territory and the monster beasts above have all disappeared, and the human race will never be harassed by them anymore. Now! Your Highness, you will definitely become the most sacred legend!! Your Highness, Your Highness, where are you going?"
"..."
The princess who walked towards the Tiankeng in a cloak ignored her voice.
The maid was anxiously trying to catch up, but was stopped by an arm. She was slightly stiff, and looked back at the beauty with long hair who stopped her.
"Xiu... Your Excellency?"
The maid didn't know the reason, she only knew the result: After returning from the cursed land, each of them in the group felt a sense of awe from the gentle and harmless long-haired beauty in front of her.
And that person treated them as gentle as ever, and there was no difference at all. They were identical and almost indifferent.
"I'll be fine."
"…Yes."
Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Xiu walked to the side of the princess who stopped in front of the moat.
She looked at the bottomless clouds under her feet expressionlessly, her eyes were pale, as if there was no emotion, and she seemed to be sad.
She asked, "Is it dead."
Xiu: "Dead."
"..."
Gu Nian blinked.
Before she lost consciousness, she remembered her vanity mirror that was dumped in her sleep like a dragon baby. There was a very bad feeling in her heart.
Like a proof.
The slender hand opened under her eyelids, and the voice was gentle, "This is its reverse scale."
Blood-red, gem-like scales.
Gu Nian bit her lip.
The man in the ear smiled softly: "Now, it belongs to Your Highness."
"..."
Gentle and cold.
