After preparing for transmigration, Xia Yuan, a top player of storyline mages in his previous life, transmigrated into an NPC, and was even the fourth son of the newly born Duke of the Empire!
<...Chapter 607: Terrifying Enemies (3k words!)
"But now, Fiona also has a story. After I go back, if Fourth Brother asks me where I've been, I will only tell him half of it. I won't tell him the second half until the next day!"
As she spoke, the girl couldn't help but feel a little smug at the surprised expressions of the small animals around her, and Avis couldn't help but twitching his ears.
"Then, my fourth brother and I went to the academy... Do you know the academy? It's that kind of interesting place where there are more students than teachers. It's different in the castle. There are many teachers teaching me together.
In the academy, I met some new friends. They were very natural with me at first, but gradually became weird. They would instinctively try to please me, just like the people in the castle. "
Having said that, the little girl sighed, and then continued.
"However, my fourth brother still took good care of me like he did in the castle and taught me a lot. He knows a lot, and sometimes I feel like he knows everything like a teacher.
Although other people in the school don’t take Fourth Brother seriously, I can feel that he is actually very powerful, but for some reason he has not shown his strength.
Also, a classmate once asked me privately whether the Ninth Prince Lan Nuo and the Fourth Brother had "that kind of" relationship. I asked her what that kind of relationship meant, but she refused to say..."
"Your Majesty, do you now understand what that kind of relationship means?"
At this time, a parrot raised its wings and asked a question, and the small animals around it also stared at Fiona expectantly.
"Unfortunately, I still don't know. Maybe I can ask Fourth Brother when I get back."
Fiona shook her head.
"Could it be... um... um..."
"Your Majesty, please continue."
After silently casting a silencing spell on the parrot, Avis spoke up to change the subject.
“But unfortunately, I only attended the academy for less than a year before I had to return to the castle due to an accident.
In order to protect me, Fourth Brother used himself as bait to lure away that terrible enemy, but he was captured by the enemy himself. "
As Fiona spoke, her mood gradually became depressed, and the small animals around her also became quiet due to the girl's mood change.
“At that time, I was protected by my father in the secret realm of the castle. Although I was safe, my fourth brother fell into danger.
Since then, I have been wondering why I don't have enough strength. If I had the strength of my father, my fourth brother wouldn't have to put himself in danger to protect me.
But fortunately, perhaps because the wish I made when a star fell came true, an accident made me leave the family secret realm and embark on an unusual adventure.
In the process, I met many interesting companions who were different from the people in the castle and the academy and treated me very naturally, as well as enemies who were not very strong but very bad.
And in the end, I met my fourth brother again - you have no idea how happy I was at that time!"
Having said this, Fiona's expression became happy again.
“This time when I came here, although I don’t know what happened to this world, I can feel that there should be something here that can make me stronger.
I would feel lonely being protected in the secret realm of the castle. If I had the power, I could protect myself and stop worrying my brother and father. "
With her hands clasped in front of her chest, Fiona's big lake blue eyes closed slightly, and then opened again.
"So, after being taken back by father, I will often come here to play with you, although you may not recognize me by then.
I will quietly become stronger, and then give them a surprise..."
She wanted to say something more, but at this moment, Fiona's expression suddenly changed. She could feel that her shield was suddenly penetrated by someone.
She had just listened to White Rabbit and strengthened the city's defenses, but now she hadn't even discovered the enemy's identity and her defenses were completely breached! "Hide quickly, the enemy is coming!"
Fiona suddenly thought of the white rabbit and the many small animals. If a big war broke out, she would definitely not be able to distract herself to take care of them.
But almost the next second after the girl sounded the alarm, the air in the palace suddenly became still.
The confused expressions of many small animals were frozen on their faces, the dust in the air stopped falling, and the white rabbit that jumped up was frozen in mid-air, as if time had suddenly stopped.
From the outside of the palace, a square transparent cube appeared at some point, like a huge crystal box, covering the girl and the white rabbit. Although they were blocked for a moment by the suddenly strengthened rule shield outside the city, after showing his true strength , Marquis Winter still forcibly broke through the shield.
At the same time, he immediately used the power of rules to confine the space-time area within the palace to prevent the target from realizing that something was wrong and escaping.
The next moment, the entire transparent cube and the palace inside began to shrink gradually. However, there seemed to be some strong interference in this process, and the cube's shrinking speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
The scarlet eyes stared into the cube, and the girl was shining with regular light around her body, resisting the cube's shrinkage. Marquis Winter sneered and drew a strange dagger from his waist.
The sword was made entirely of a strange brown metal with an uneven surface. The tip of the sword was broken and the blade was stained with a trace of unknown dried dark brown blood.
That was a weapon that had been with him for many years, an unknown and strange object that he had found when he was exploring deep in the forbidden zone of life.
Usually, Marquis Winter would only use it when facing an enemy of the same rank as the ninth. And he was able to quickly break through the shield because of its power.
Last time, since he came only as a dream incarnation, he did not expect that the Nightmare Spirit King would be so powerful, so he did not carry this weapon.
But this time, he won't make the same mistake again.
With his mind fixed on the girl, Marquis Winter grasped the dagger with his backhand and swung it out violently.
The next moment, invisible and intangible twisted lines condensed from the front of the sword blade and connected straight to the girl who was resisting the restraints with all her might.
This was an attack on the soul, and the power was specially controlled to a level that would not be lethal. After all, what he hoped to obtain was a complete experimental subject, not a mutilated corpse.
But what Marquis Winter did not expect was that at the critical moment, the white rabbit beside the girl suddenly moved, and the pocket watch in its hand emitted a faint light, distorting and offsetting the movement of the lines.
At the critical moment, Anvis relied on the power of the pocket watch to break the rules of Marquis Winter and blocked the attack for the girl.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Is this the guardian you created? Interesting creation."
Raising his eyebrows, Marquis Winter watched with interest as Anvis tried hard to move the pointer to offset the line bit by bit.
He saw traces of the operation of rules and the connection between the pocket watch and this world.
"But alas, the fairy tale is over and now it's time to be an adult."
As he spoke, Marquis Winter slightly changed direction and slashed at Avis with his sword.
This sword was different from the one used against Fiona. A large number of black soul lines penetrated the cube like arrows and shot towards all the small animals that were fixed around Fiona.
In order to prevent any further accidents, Marquis Winter casually decided to clear the area, just some small animals.
Except for Avis who was barely supported by his pocket watch, all the other small animals hit by the thin wire fell down silently, and the fluctuations of their thoughts completely dissipated.
"!!"
Seeing the many small animals who were listening to her story just now die tragically in front of her, the girl's lake blue eyes showed deep sadness and regret.
This was her mistake. When the white rabbits issued the warning, she should have let them escape, instead of being careless and assuming that there would be no problems with the city's defenses because she had not yet discovered the enemy.
A sentence that Anweisi once taught her echoed in the girl's heart again: No matter what choice you make now, you will bear the price of your choice in the future.
The girl stared angrily at the blurry Marquis Winter across space, her eyes red, and she tried her best to control the power of the world's rules. While helping the White Rabbit resist the attack, she continued to attack the space cage that imprisoned her.
The rules of the world seemed to become violent with the girl's anger. Thick swirling dark clouds gathered above the city, and huge thunder rumbled incessantly, as if the whole world was roaring at Marquis Winter.
Under the impact of the surging force of rules, the transparent cube-shaped cage was finally unable to continue shrinking, but began to gradually expand again, as if it was about to be completely stretched open.
Watching the girl's resistance suddenly becoming strong, Marquis Winter also frowned, which made him feel a little troubled. After all, he didn't want to leave the girl with any serious injuries, which would interfere with his research.
On the other side, after barely neutralizing the attack with the help of Fiona, Anvis stared at Marquis Winter with his pink rabbit eyes, and his heart sank.
The dagger in the hand of Marquis Winter gave him a rare and creepy sense of crisis.
Only now did he realize that his previous premonition of crisis did not come entirely from Marquis Winter himself, but also largely from this dagger.
He had no doubt that if he was hit by the dagger, he would die instantly.
Faced with the Marquis of Winter holding the dagger, Avis directly gave up his previous plan of suicide. He wanted to eliminate this danger, at least not let Fiona face the dagger directly.
You know, fate cannot completely restrain a ninth-level strongman. If he just lets it go, Fiona might be in real danger this time.
Sensing something in the dress pocket on his chest, Avis's eyes sharpened.
He only has one chance. Not to mention that he doesn't have a second limit-breaking item, Marquis Winter will not give him a second chance.
