Chapter 209: Accomplices in the Destruction of the World (asking for monthly tickets)
Xizel stared blankly at the bottomless ravine in the forest. After a long while, he drove the Christmas sleigh into the forest, stretched out his hands, and picked up Yagubaru who was sitting on the wasteland.
He put the little shark on his shoulder, then turned his head to look at it and asked in surprise:
"Yagubaru, so... can you grow that big?"
At first, César thought that the form he saw in the bedroom was the complete form of Agubaru.
But after seeing her tonight, he realized that it was just the tip of the iceberg. No, maybe it wasn’t even the tip of the iceberg…
Judging from Yagubaru's performance, maybe it can become even bigger?
"Isn't it amazing?" Yagubaru said casually, "The more the shark eats, the bigger it gets. Remember to feed the shark more."
"So you usually eat fragments for this purpose. Then won't you be able to become bigger than the legendary whale in the end?"
"The legendary whale is only two hundred meters long. If Shark Shark eats a little more, it won't be a problem for him to surpass it."
"Agabaru, are all your race so powerful?"
"No, I'm a special case." Yagubaru shook his head, "Shark is a shark genius and a shark aristocrat that only appears once in a thousand years."
After saying that, it raised its pupils and looked at the prompt box that popped up in front of it, muttering: "The first chapter of "Battle Through the Whales", the fallen genius, Shark Shark was demoted to the box garden."
[Completed the card event No. ③ of "The Whale Garden" - "Subjugating the Snake, Wolf and Horse Clan". ]
[As a reward, the event card "Shadow Beast Tide" has been added to Unit 3's event card book. ]
Yagubaru poked the prompt box with his fin, and the interface of the event card book popped up.
It selects the first event card and looks at the card's introduction screen.
[Event Card Name: Shadow Beast Tide]
【Event card number: ③】
[Event card effect: Create a wave of shadow beasts in a specific area to block and disrupt your enemies.]
[The event card will disappear after being used once; selling this event card will gain "1" skill point. ]
"Are you going to sell it?" Yagubaru raised his fin and scratched his chin.
"What are you selling?" Xizel looked down at it.
"No, I was thinking about whether we should secretly slaughter Li Qingping's pig and sell it after we leave the small garden." Yagubaru said, "He can sleep so well, he must be a big fat pig that is very valuable."
"oh oh."
While the man and the shark were chatting on the sled, the noise coming from the forest had already awakened the residents of the town. This was not the first time such a situation had occurred, and they were already prepared to deal with the crisis.
The guards wearing armor and holding spears were in front, and the strange news envoy holding a strange news picture book was behind.
This fully armed team with clear division of labor was like worker bees protecting a hive, guarding the exit of the forest with full concentration. In the end, after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of the beast tide, and even the huge noise that had just come from the top of the mountain disappeared.
The old man in charge of reconnaissance in the team crushed the disposable wonder "mobile ladder", climbed up the suspended ladder, stepped into the air 20 meters high, squinted his eyes and looked forward, suddenly his eyes bulged and his face turned pale.
"What do you see?"
The old man was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. He saw a bottomless gully in the forest. The gully was buried with crushed trees and animals, and the emerald green and sandy yellow overlapped chaotically, like broken blocks of color.
"The beast tide has disappeared..." he said intermittently, "but it seems that there is a bigger monster in the forest?"
After hearing such alarmist remarks, the guards became even more nervous and even thought of backing out. But their homes were behind them, and their relatives were waiting for them to return.
They dared not retreat even a single step, otherwise their families would be the ones to die.
Everyone here knows that those high and mighty royal families will not come down from the sky to look at them.
From the moment they were born, they have become a pathetic frog in a well.
I can only stay in the dark forever, looking up at a corner of the beautiful floating castle through the narrow wellhead.
They knew they would never be able to leave this cramped well.
After the children were born, they raised their hands and pointed at the magnificent buildings in the sky and said: When they grow up, they also want to live in those tall castles, shoulder to shoulder with the clouds and the moon.
The adults were speechless and could only touch their heads and lie to them that they would be able to do it when they grow up.
But everyone knows in their hearts that they are born with the only right to look up.
There is no sun or moon in the whale's box.
But for them, the older they get, the more dazzling it becomes when they look at those high castles, like looking directly at the sun, making it impossible to open their eyes.
Therefore, the older people get, the less willing they are to look up at the sky. Only children will point at the sky and shout foolishly with shining eyes.
At this moment, no one here would expect the royal guards to come down to help them.
Because everyone understood that no noble who was sitting back and relaxing would truly care about the residents of the island. They were now sleeping soundly in their elegant bedrooms, so how could they hear the wailing of the common people?
So they can't retreat, they can only rely on themselves. Even if you are a frog in a well, you must protect your well.
Without this well, they would lose even the qualification to look up at the clouds and the moon.
"A bigger monster?" someone in the escort team murmured.
"It's okay. The Royal Court Team should be here soon. Even if they don't come, there are still the elite guards of the palace."
"Are you kidding me? When have those royal families ever cared about our safety?"
"But Li Qingping will come. I have seen the child in my wife's tavern."
"Li Qingping has already quit the Wangting team. Haven't you heard about it?"
"Why don't we retreat first... Don't worry, you might just scare yourself."
"We can't retreat." The old man in the lead whispered.
He was clearly emaciated, with a frame so small that it couldn't even support armor, but at this moment he held his head high, like an angry King Kong.
Everyone looked at his back and silently stopped the urge to retreat.
However, they waited tremblingly for a long time, but still did not see the monster. Instead, they heard a long cry from the dark blue sky, which reached everyone's ears and made them nervous.
The town guards looked up at the sky for a moment and saw two elks breaking through the wind and snow, dragging a red sled and flying through the sky full of swimming fish.
Seeing through the falling snow, they saw a young man with white hair and blue eyes sitting on the sled.
Yagubaru had hidden in César's pocket. It poked its round head out of the pocket and looked at everyone's expressions curiously.
"I have already dealt with those snakes, wolves and horses. You can go back and rest." Xizel lay on the edge of the sled and shouted to the guards underground.
At this moment, the town was brightly lit, and the residents held the universal wonder "The Light That Never Goes Out" in their hands, which was like a piece of fluorescent light spread all over every corner of the town. They used the scattered lights and the faint light from the whale's belly to see the shadows in the sky.
The young man with white hair and blue eyes sat on the sled and waved at them with a smile: "Everyone go to bed."
His white hair swayed, and under the bright black light, his blue eyes were as clear as a lake.
"Is that the Third Prince?"
"The Third Prince stopped the beast tide for us?"
"He did this kind of thing all by himself?"
"Don't forget, he defeated the second prince in the Colosseum last time."
"The Third Prince came down personally to protect us?"
The guards gasped and started to talk. They realized that there was no monster in the forest as the investigators had said. It turned out that the biggest monster was actually the third prince riding a sled...
The old man at the head waved to César, who seemed to see him in the crowd, so he slowly lowered the sled to the entrance of the town.
The guards all dropped their weapons, half-knelt on the ground, and saluted the young son of the king.
"Your Highness Xizel, thank you for your help." The old man said, "The magical creatures on the mountain have not rioted for a long time. Our guards have not fought for a long time and may not be able to stop them. If it weren't for you, many people would have died in this beast tide."
"You're welcome." Xizel shook his head. "I am a prince after all. It is my duty to protect my country."
"My name is 'Iwak', and everyone in this town owes you a favor," the old man said. "If you need help in the future, we will do our best, no matter what."
"It's okay." Xizel smiled, "I will leave the box soon."
Iwak was stunned: "Leave the box?"
Xizel nodded: "Yes, at the beginning of next month, I will leave here and may never come back, so there is no need to thank me."
Iwak was silent for a long time: "What a pity... Then we will rush to the whale's mouth to see you off."
Yagubaru rubbed his head in Cesar's pocket and muttered softly:
"It's over, it's over... This must be that kind of plot, the kind of cannon fodder plot that is essential to the story of a prince's revenge."
"What are you mumbling about?"
As Cesar spoke, he glanced at the little shark in his pocket.
Yagubaru raised his head and asked in a low voice, "Do we really want to take them with us? If a fight breaks out, the Royal Court team can easily kill them all."
"It doesn't matter. Maybe the Queen Mother won't kill us when she sees so many of us." Xizel smiled. "It's not bad to use them as shields. They must have families, right? If they disappear, it will at least stir up a storm of public opinion."
Yagubaru was stunned.
It raised its head from its pocket and stared blankly at César's chilling smile. It thought to itself, it's over. There is no such thing as a blackened elementary school student. I thought you were black from the beginning?
"I'm just kidding... This is my business, it won't involve other people's lives." Xizel shook his head, "Besides, there are so many people, if a fight really breaks out, Li Qingping will be in the way and it will be difficult for him to take action, and it might even have a side effect."
Yagubaru breathed a sigh of relief and touched the little heart with his fin.
"Don't joke like that."
Xizel curled the corners of his lips at it, moved his eyes from the little shark's head, raised his head and looked at the old man named "Iwak".
He said, "Mr. Iwak, I don't need you to see me off that day. I might encounter danger. So goodbye."
Iwak was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, he looked up and a gust of wind and snow blew towards him.
With a long cry, the elk broke through the wind and snow, flew towards the whale's belly under the sky, and passed through a school of glittering fish. In the whistling wind and snow, the sled shuttled fearlessly under the whale's belly.
César raised his head and silently watched the whale leap out of the sea. The moonlight flowed on the whale's belly like mercury, covering the entire box garden.
He suddenly smiled, took out the Yakubulu from his pocket and put it on his shoulder.
Under the empty sky, he asked loudly: "Yagubaru, you want to eat the whole world, right?"
Yagubaru was stunned: "How do you know?"
"It doesn't matter. Let's just destroy everything. Let's destroy this mountain, this sea, and this sky." Xizel looked up at the sky and said softly, "It will be easy after we destroy them. We can travel around the world together, freely."
"Then you will become a great sinner. You are a prince, but you betrayed your own country."
"We are accomplices, aren't we?" Cesar said. "I'm not afraid when you're here."
Yagubaru suddenly stopped talking.
It raised its head and stared at the innocent face of the white-haired boy. It was silent for a long time: "You are right... Xizel, we are accomplices."
After a pause, the little shark continued to ask: "But what if I want to destroy not only the whale's box garden, but the entire world?"
Xizel was stunned.
"Destroy the whole world? Your ideal is so great, Yagubaru."
"Yeah, will you be on Shark's side then?"
Xizel was stunned for a long time, and then raised the corner of his mouth, "I will accompany you. If the whole world is your enemy, then this world is my enemy. Didn't you tell me so?"
"That's good." Little Shark shrank his head and whispered, "You are too naive, Cesar. You will be taken advantage of if you do this."
"So, Yagubaru, are you using me?"
Xizel looked at it curiously, his eyes shining in the moonlight.
Little Shark shook his head: "No, you are Shark's good friend."
"It doesn't matter if you use me. I would have died long ago without you."
"I said I wasn't taking advantage of you."
"That's good." Xizel smiled, "Let's go back, it's time to rest."
"good."
In the distant yard, Li Qingping leaned against a tree and heard the unbridled sound of wind and snow coming from the sky. He yawned and opened his eyes, silently looking at the white-haired boy on the sled and the shark on his shoulder.
"Green Tea Shark..."
He hugged his shoulders, leaned against the maple tree, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep with his head drooping again.
