Chapter 183
The huge statue standing inside the temple is more like a living person than a stone.
The little mouse jumped onto the confessional platform, raised his upper body and stared into the eyes of the Holy Son Adrian Patrick.
Holy light flickered in that man's picturesque eyes, as if it could forgive all the sins in the world.
Its skin is white and shiny, not the cold gray color of stone statues. Although it is wearing a linen robe, it is born with the image of a saint.
There are many legends about the temple in Adrian. At least when introducing the background of the game, it was mentioned that the tears of the Son of God can cure all poisons in the world.
The knights of the Knights of Light are immune to the invasion of the red flowers because they have drunk the tears of the Son of God since childhood.
Yitu thought seriously about the possibility that they had stolen the holy water from the temple, and then nimbly jumped off the confessional platform.
Although the temple was huge, especially for a tiny mouse, it was extremely difficult to enter. However, unlike the witches' sewers, the temple was brightly lit with candles everywhere.
Even at night, there was no knight in armor in the corridor.
But if someone were here, they would definitely find it strange that there was a rat strolling around blatantly in the temple.
Yitu went to the wrong place. There was naturally no signpost in the temple. He chose the route entirely by feeling and arrived at the Holy Soul Temple, which was dedicated to the dead, in a daze.
This palace is almost identical to any other palace outside. The bright candlelight can illuminate every dark corner of the palace.
A white-haired old man in a black robe was standing under the altar, muttering inaudible prayers.
On the altar were placed bronze urns with the name Yu Xi.
Yitu climbed up the temple pillar and took a look at the altar. The names of these urns were all long strings of English letters, which looked very unfamiliar.
Not seeing any useful information, Yi Tu didn't want to waste time and was about to leave when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar name in the right corner.
Leslie Burke, Leslie Burke.
Yitu was stunned. Was Leslie dead? Or was it just a coincidence that they had the same name?
No one could answer his question, and the only sounds in the palace were the old man's murmurs.
Yitu slipped out of the Holy Soul Hall and hesitated for a moment as to whether he should continue searching.
If Leslie Burke is really dead, then where can the players who have received the witch quest find his sword?
Yitu wandered around the hall, followed another corridor, and entered the knights' rest and bedroom area.
Just as he was about to slip in through the crack in the wall, a deliberately suppressed conversation was heard in the corridor.
"Did you see him? The tone of his voice, that condescending look, who does he think he is?!"
"Okay, Xiuyan, I know you're upset, but don't forget what the captain told us at the beginning."
"Although Chi Que is just a small sparrow, the Emperor Ming is here, and he and his watchdog are both here."
The tall man turned around and warned that neither of them was wearing knight uniforms, but clothes brought in by the players themselves.
But even so, Yitu was able to quickly recognize that the two men, one tall and one short, in front of him were both members of the Black Crow Team, Bingshuang and Gui Xiuyan.
Bingshuang is good at creating frost control, while Guixiuyan can locate and hunt prey to the extreme, which is similar to the mark of Captain Feiya.
"Don't cause trouble, Xiuyan. You didn't put any surveillance eyes at the door of the oath, did you?" Bingshuang asked worriedly.
The two of them walked forward while talking, getting closer and closer to Yi Tu. As a last resort, Yi Tu could only hide behind a pillar and eavesdrop.
"Of course not!" The ghost cultivator hurriedly defended himself:
"I wanted to put it out, but then I thought about it. The King of Hearts is right next to him, and he would be noticed if he did."
"Yeah, let's go back. We still have a mission to do tomorrow."
"Um."
The two turned to the corridor on the left. Yitu poked his little head out from the pillar, thought for a moment, and decided to run back the way they came.
Driven by curiosity, Yitu couldn't help but enter the area where the Chique team was located.
Unable to tell who the players in the room were, he could only peek inside through the crack in the door.
After all, it was a small gray mouse, so even if the gap in the door was very narrow, its pointed head could still be squeezed in a little.
Yitu went to check each room one by one. The lights in most of the rooms were off, and the figures lying on the beds were blurry and not clear.
Knowing that this was not the target he was looking for, Yitu decisively changed his position.
When I reached the end of the corridor, the lights in the last two rooms were still on. I could faintly hear someone talking in the one on the left.
Yi Tu's heart moved. Due to the special relationship between the Red Heart King Ming Huang and the Red Heart Jack Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng had almost no way to leave Ming Huang too far away.
Jiang Hanyu had briefly mentioned the matter between Emperor Ming and Jack of Hearts to Yi Tu before.
Unlike the clear-cut relationship between the Plum Blossom King and the Chen Twins, the relationship between Emperor Ming and Xiao Feng is more like a mutual restraint rather than a master-servant relationship.
The Night King saved the Chen Twins using a special item card, which turned the players into cards.
However, Emperor Ming used his own body as a vessel to forcibly transform Xiao Feng, the Jack of Hearts, into his own knight.
I don’t know if it’s because of the suit, but Emperor Minghuang, as the King of Hearts, is far less intimidating to his Jack than the other three Kings.
Even though the King of Diamonds, which is also a red card, can make the Queen and Jack absolutely obey, the Emperor Minghuang has no way to do it.
Xiao Feng is an indispensable existence to him, but Ming Huang is not Xiao Feng's only one.
The Night King deliberately created an opportunity for Xiao Feng to meet his ex-spouse Mei Yu, and the two fell in love almost at first sight.
At that time, the King of Hearts was just starting out, being watched covetously by everyone and in need of help the most.
Xiao Feng never left the King of Hearts, but he was deeply in love with Mei Yu. He didn't even know that under the instigation of the Night King, Mei Yu had provoked the King of Hearts again and again.
The Emperor Minghuang was very tolerant. At least under such a terrible situation, the three of them actually lived together for a period of time.
Later, Mei Yu became jealous and could no longer tolerate Xiao Feng's unconditional loyalty to the King of Hearts.
She began to whisper in his ears, constantly finding various reasons and excuses, and even threatened to break up to force Xiao Feng to make a decision.
It was also at that time that the King of Hearts decided to kill.
He may not really like Xiao Feng or have other thoughts, but he knows what he wants.
He wanted Xiao Feng's faithfulness, his unique loyalty and following.
The only person he wants is Xiao Feng.
Later, the King of Hearts found a time when Xiao Feng was not around, dragged Mei Yu into the game in reality, and killed her directly.
After Mei Yu's death, Xiao Feng fell into madness for a while.
I don’t know if it’s because of the relationship between spouses, or if the two of them just have a really deep affection for each other.
The King of Hearts thought that Xiao Feng's madness was only temporary, and he would get better after this period of time passed.
But unfortunately, his patience had long been exhausted by Mei Yu, and was completely worn out by the persistent Xiao Feng.
During that time, Xiao Feng really wanted to kill the Red Heart King, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
It was this little bit of softness that led to the change in their current status.
The King of Hearts kept Xiao Feng by his side forever, in a way that ordinary people could not imagine.
The Night King watched a great show and happily showed off his work everywhere. He talked about Emperor Ming and Mei Yu with others as if they were telling a joke.
It was at that time that Xiao Feng realized that his self-righteous love was nothing but a long-planned conspiracy.
Since then, Emperor Ming and King Ye have had an irreconcilable feud.
Mei Yu, who was once called the happiest woman in the world by players, was soon forgotten by everyone.
The only two people who could remember her, one never mentioned her, and the other was afraid to mention her.
The former resented and hated her, while the latter regarded her as a stain on his life.
Jiang Hanyu also told Yi Tu that Emperor Minghuang had Xiao Feng's mark on his body, but Xiao Feng did not have the mark of the Red Heart King on his body.
When Yi Tu heard this, he was very surprised.
Jiang Hanyu said that the reason why the two of them had marks was because the props used by the Red Heart King Minghuang were too special.
There is nothing in the game that can really bind players together, except for spouse bonding.
The props of the King of Hearts are equivalent to a compulsory binding.
With Xiao Feng's death as the price and sharing life with the King of Hearts as the end, the two can finally be together and never be separated.
The body of the King of Hearts is Xiao Feng's container. Xiao Feng is not a card and cannot die.
He will die only if the King of Hearts dies.
However, there is no King of Hearts mark on Xiao Feng's body. Some people think that it is because Xiao Feng was forced and not voluntary.
Some people also think that it is because Xiao Feng once had a spouse and his mark has been given to her, so the King of Hearts cannot have her.
However, no matter which situation it is, who can really know it except the person involved?
It was precisely out of curiosity about these two people that Yitu wandered here.
Anyway, he is just a small mouse now. What bad intentions can a mouse have? He just wants to look and listen in the corner.
It would be best if I could also hear a little about the mission of the Knights of Light tomorrow.
Of course, Yitu felt that he might be discovered by the King of Hearts before he could finish listening to the conversation between the two.
After all, the two had looked at each other in the Red Heart Tower, and Emperor Minghuang had the ability to detect mental fluctuations.
However, at this moment he was just a rat, and if he died, he died. There were thousands of rats in the sewer, so it didn't matter if he sacrificed just one.
After thinking about this, Yitu found a better angle outside the door and squeezed himself in with great effort.
"I'm sorry, I apologize to you, is that okay now?" The Emperor Minghuang's voice was unlike his appearance, but instead revealed a clean and cold tone.
"Xiao Feng, I really want to sleep now." When Emperor Minghuang said this, his voice sounded a little helpless.
There were two figures in the room, one sitting in front of the bed and the other sitting in front of the table, neither of them moved.
"You want to sleep? Why tell me that?" Xiao Feng's voice was almost the same as Yi Tu imagined, cold and hard as iron, without much emotion.
The Emperor was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked to the tall man, coaxing him:
"You know I'm used to having you around."
"I can't sleep without you."
The mouse huddled in the corner couldn't help but tremble, then trotted under the two people's bed and hid.
Xiao Feng smiled silently. He pulled the man onto his legs, pinched Minghuang's fair chin, and rubbed his lips with his fingertips.
"Ming Jue, some things are best not mentioned again. Sometimes, some moments..."
"I really regret not being able to strangle you to death, honestly."
The look in Xiao Feng's eyes when he looked at Emperor Minghuang was not particularly passionate, nor did he contain much emotion. He only saw Xiang Mingjue's face turn a little paler.
He curled the corners of his lips at the man, "It's a pity you didn't."
"If you could strangle me to death back then, you wouldn't have reached your turn now. You're only worthy of being my dog." Xiang Mingjue shook off Xiao Feng's hand, an uncontrollable anger appearing on his face.
He stood up and kicked the chair under the man's butt.
Xiao Feng didn't pay attention and was kicked to the ground, "You..."
The man hadn't finished shouting out his anger when he suddenly saw something and stopped talking.
Yi Tu, who was looking at Xiao Feng awkwardly, could only shrink back as much as possible and ran away without thinking.
However, just as he ran to the door and before he could get out, he suddenly heard the sound of wind in his ears.
"when!"
The sword made a deafening sound and pierced the little mouse's tail straight.
Yi Tu felt so painful that he wanted to curse, but all that came out of his mouth was a squeaking sound. He would remember this grudge!
Yitu wanted to look back at the two people behind him and was about to retract his mind, but he subconsciously raised his head and caught a glimpse of the name engraved on the sword.
Leslie Burke, Leslie Burke.
?
Why is Leslie's sword in the hands of Heart Jack Xiao Feng?
