Chapter 86 Golden Blood
◎Rounded off, they are all half-sisters.◎
prophecy?
Most prophecies were deceptive, but a few were far more dangerous. For the Huns, prophecies unrelated to the Golden King were discredited, and any related claims were to be refuted with the sword.
However, Sonny has learned a lot. The process of learning is a process of doubt and a process of belief.
Apart from witches and royal families, few people know the truth about the golden blood.
The reason why this rare blood has a long history and can still give birth to the so-called "Golden King", "Perfect Man" and "Divine Body" until now is because it has the characteristic of "Convergence".
The "golden blood" of the young deceased will be passed on to his closest relatives, but too much golden blood may exceed some invisible limit and take the king's life.
Therefore, the descendants of this bloodline will carefully warn their descendants not to kill each other. Even if they become enemies, the winner will support the loser until they grow old.
After all, most Golden Kings would die suddenly in their prime: some could indeed withstand the convergence of blood multiple times, but many more would bleed to death from all seven orifices after just one or two attempts, and might even kill their relatives one after another.
It's said that hundreds of years ago, a single funeral took away three generations of "kings," a joke. Even Brida's brain disease was due to inheriting her brother's golden blood.
Precognitive dream? We'll talk about that later. What's more important now is—
“Sister Melia, please stay here. I’ll go see Brida.”
Sonny spurred his horse and rushed a long distance in an instant: Bringing a convoy over would be considered a provocation. After all, she is my sister, she wouldn't kill me if we met, right?
Tap, tap, tap.
"Wait for me!" The girl's dark hair was disheveled in the wind.
Sonny had to slow down. “Brida is my sister. She has nothing to do with you.”
"Why is it okay? You call me sister too? If you round it up, we are half-sisters."
Sonny laughed and gently kicked the horse's belly with his foot. "You are still pregnant. Even if you were not, would you help fight the assassins or just cause trouble?"
This was the first time she'd spoken so harshly. Knowing Melia, she'd probably turn around and run away in anger, yelling, "Go ahead, if you can do it!"
However, Melia was extremely stubborn this time, even stretching out her hand in front of her, as if she wanted to either go together or not leave.
A cold wind blew, and his emerald eyes flashed with a determined edge: "I can see things that you cannot see. To deal with mysterious enemies, we should rely on mysterious means."
"Huh~ Alright. Now that we've come to this... sit tight."
"Eh?" What do you mean by sit tight? I should sit on the horse properly now.
Her vision shook violently, and a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist, and Melia was briefly lifted into the air.
Sunny gently placed her in front of him: "Sister, it's not that I don't want you to hold my waist - Gesang is too fast."
When the word "fast" was mentioned, the blue-gray horse named Gesang was like a flash of lightning, leaving Taffi and Ronnie, who had finally caught up with him, far behind.
"Ah ...
Under the clear sky, which had not yet been stained with blood, Sunny smiled brightly: "There are many people on the grassland who want to ride Gesang. Sister, I'm glad you feel honored."
"Rongrongrong's head——"
A shade of blue-gray crossed the wilderness, and the sound of horse hooves came from afar.
The Huns on the main road stopped their march and simultaneously looked up at the girl speeding down the hillside... Hey, isn't that the one behind her...?!
The men and women in fur coats were speechless. They wanted to say something to their companions, but they didn't know what to say.
Some people reached for their bows and arrows several times, but held back their anger: What? Shoot who? Shoot the master's relatives?
"Ahhh, don't shoot the arrow—"
Melia spoke in Hungarian, a familiar language to them. "I'm here to warn you! Someone is lying in wait on the road to Thessaly, specifically to kill Brida!"
In fact, she didn't know if it was an assassination. The bloody scene looked more like a grand sacrifice. However, the word "assassination" had a great effect. The Huns immediately became nervous, and some even drew their weapons and looked around suspiciously.
Step, step, step.
An exceptionally tall horse approached slowly, its mane braided with golden beads and muscular. However, no one noticed this attractive horse, because the person on it was even more dazzling.
The moment she saw Brida, Melia began to understand why the Huns insisted that they had golden blood.
The girl looked down, her eyes like flowing gold: "Someone wants to kill me?"
She spoke very slowly, abnormally so. It wasn't so much a habit as it was... some kind of illness.
Melia tried her best to ignore the minor anomaly and nodded vigorously. "Yes, and their methods are very... mysterious! I'm afraid it's magic. Although there are magicians in your team, they are not of the same system as the magic here. There's no need to take such a big risk."
She raised her head and tried to persuade him, but her heart was a little weak: These reasons were not sufficient, could they really persuade him to go back? It was not like Su La, who would want to hide at home at the slightest sign of trouble.
Generally speaking, a leader-level elder sister like this would be quite arrogant, right? Especially one with a disability.
Judging from Sunny's tone, would her sister draw a knife and kill someone at will?
Melia kept glancing at the scimitar at Brida's waist, fearing a possible close contact.
Brida looked at her too, her gaze deep, and remained silent for so long that one might have thought she had fallen asleep standing up. So long that when Taffy and Ronnie rushed over, they were stopped outside by the Hungarians.
After several minutes, Brida slowly spoke, “Okay. Let’s take a detour.”
"?!" Melia almost screamed in shock when a chuckle came from behind her.
“Brida is like this~”
Sonny patted her shoulder. “Ever since she did that, she has had the same attitude towards those she trusts and those she doesn’t: decisive.”
Either believe it or not, there are no other words and no unnecessary questions.
It's not that he is moody, but he follows his intuition like an animal, which causes some people headaches and others to follow him to the death.
Sunny’s face was filled with confusion. Who could have imagined that Brida, her own sister, would choose not to trust her?
......
The caravan was traveling across the wilderness, with ten merchant cargo wagons clustered in the innermost part, and two distinct groups of Huns on either side.
If someone were to pass by at this time, they would surely be surprised: What kind of crazy rich man would hire so many nomads to help transport ten carts of goods? Were they transporting gold ingots?
There were some curious thieves who wanted to touch the gold, but they were shot away by Brida and Sunny's men with arrows each.
As they got further and further away from Thessaly, Melia finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great! If only everything could go this smoothly every time." After a half-day's rest tonight, they should be able to completely bypass the route the day after tomorrow.
The strange blood-colored trap is probably very limited in scope, otherwise people like Sura and the original owner would have been killed a hundred and twenty times.
The sun gradually shifted, and ding—a ringing sound rang in my head.
Melia suddenly raised her head, and the sky appeared an ominous dark red, with faint bloodshot visible.
[Oh no, the other party is catching up! ]
"Everyone run, the trap has a range!"
Without much reminder, the Huns rode their horses in an orderly manner and dispersed in all directions under the command of Bleda and Sunny.
Tap, tap, tap.
A sea of horses washed over them, and some were lucky enough to escape the red zone. The blood-red light floating on the ground held Brida and Sunny tightly, refusing to let go.
They run faster and more nimbly than horses, as if they were some kind of living creatures.
Rustle—the red light soaked into the blood of the horse's legs, gradually becoming fuller and more real, condensing into fleshy bonds that entangled more horses, sucking them into minced meat one by one.
The absorption speed was visibly accelerating, and the sound of sucking was heard everywhere.
Melia was trembling slightly. She was protected by Ronnie and Taffy behind her. They were too close to Sonny and were trapped in the innermost layer of the blood curtain.
Brida was farther away, wielding her dagger. It seemed to clang against something in the mist. A trickle of blood oozed from the cut, then dissipated.
"To deal with mysterious things, of course, you have to use mysterious methods~"
The fear gradually faded away. Melia looked around and didn't see anyone who looked like a magician. Maybe he ran away or was sniped first.
She threw out a bottle of prepared potion as quickly as possible, and the purple weapon was swallowed by the scarlet, and nothing happened.
This was expected. After all, there was too much red mist, and this fixed medicinal juice would definitely be diluted.
It would be great if I could get the "Rose Princess" out of my mind, using the script to swat flies would definitely be very effective.
A thought of grief and anger flashed through Melia's mind, and she grasped another object related to the mystery: the gold coin that connected to Shadow Rome.
This place is beyond Shadow Rome's range, but it unexpectedly worked last time when dealing with the shattered magic item.
Even if he was transported to the Fairy Garden, it was still better than continuing to face strange enemies. At least there were unicorns there.
Ding-ling, the golden coin flew over in an arc and was tightly wrapped in red silk thread.
Melia opened her eyes wide: she "saw" it!
Two girls were suspended in mid-air, their necks and limbs had strange broken wounds, and they were suspended in the mist like balloons.
These are two corpses, and the traps are floating out of the corpses!
The thing that laughed last time, something resembling a goblin…this time, it used a corpse. No wonder the fog weakened so much. It could have killed them instantly, but now it let more than half of them escape.
"Up there! They're up there—"
A large amount of red mist surged into her throat, and Melia struggled to take out the second gold coin.
A thin sound came from the air, like the rustling of leaves: "Hey, why is the token in your hand?"
The uniquely noisy voices of fairies rose one after another: "There is actually a token from the Queen. Is she also a fairy?"
"It must be living in a fresh body, a very fragrant body."
"Yes, there is the scent of the Queen... It's a blessing, very faint, masked by the vitality, by the King's breath..."
…
Finally, the corpse on the left twisted its neck, raised a finger, and sank down from the sky: "Are you the Queen's contractor?"
Melia glanced at the area "behind" the goblin. Taffy and Ronnie were lurking on the left. Brida and Sunny were in dire straits, covered in wounds. However, the goblin's attacks had temporarily ceased, and they had noticed the changes.
Those who still had the strength to spare tried their best to get closer, attempting to surprise the goblin when it landed, but the altitude was not low enough.
breathe--
Thanks to the translation feature of "Rose Princess", Chinese sounds like the mother tongue to everyone!
Melia looked up and held the gold coin high. "I've been lurking in the human world for a year. All my achievements are on the other side of the [token]. Please pass it on to the Queen~"
She tightened her throat and spoke pure fairy language into the fairy's ears.
