Chapter 214 "Good News, Bad News"
By the time Du Wei returned to Loulan City, it was already night time. Longbottom and the other 28 magic students were left behind in the barracks outside the city. Du Wei directly returned to the Duke's mansion.
In a courtyard behind the Duke's castle, Du Wei saw a heavily injured Hussain.
Paladin's external injuries were no longer a problem. The most serious injury to his shoulder was already healing under the influence of Saint Dou Qi. However, Hussain's complexion was still very pale. Although the injury could be treated with Dou Qi or medicine, the excessive blood loss was not something that could be directly made up for.
Looking at Hussain's appearance, Du Wei's expression became dignified. Turning to Old Smoke, he said: "Guard outside, don't let anyone in."
After saying that, Du Wei walked over to Hussain's bedside and sat down. Smiling bitterly: "You really did bring me some bad news."
"It is indeed bad news." Hussain's expression was very cold.
"Now, tell me what happened."
Hussain sighed softly and didn't directly answer. Instead, he pulled out the cloth bag from his side and slowly opened it to reveal the "Beauty under the Moonlight" inside.
Du Wei looked at it and couldn't help but be surprised: "How could Rodriguez's sword be with you? Did you go to the Frozen Forest and meet that guy? "
Hussain nodded: "If it wasn't for this guy … … I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back alive!"
Then Hussain began to narrate his experience.
•
A month ago, Hussain was entrusted by Du Wei to go to the Frozen Forest. With his strength, he naturally didn't fear the dangerous environment of the Frozen Forest. Instead, he went all the way north through the Great Circle Lake and headed towards the valley where the Treant tribe lived.
But on the way around the Great Circle Lake, Hussain found some unusual traces.
"In the beginning, I saw the corpse of a magical beast. It was an Ice Demon Wolf. Judging from its size, it should be at the critical point of evolution. The wolf was nailed to a tree by an icicle, and its body was frozen stiff. At that time, I was surprised because that place had already crossed the Big Circle Lake. Even those brave mercenary groups didn't dare to go to the north of the Big Circle Lake. The next day, I saw several corpses of magic beasts. They were Earth Dragons. As you know, the Earth Dragon's scales are extremely sturdy, and from what I saw, every Earth Dragon was easily cut into several pieces. Obviously, only the dou qi of a Senior Warrior could reach that level. I carefully looked at the wounds and cut marks, and then made a judgment: this guy is strong. I'm afraid that even if I personally attacked, I would only be able to do the same thing.
On the third day, what I saw was even more interesting: I walked along the shore of the Big Circle Lake and found an iceberg in the lake. It was obviously made by someone. The transparent iceberg floated on the surface of the lake, and inside the iceberg was a frozen Ice Storm Bear. It seems that the person who did this is an expert in ice. This is the conclusion I came to. "
"The person who did this was Rodriguez?" Du Wei asked.
"Yes." Hussain nodded.
"Why did that guy run into the Frozen Forest?" Du Wei frowned.
Hussain hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said: "He went to find me."
•
That day, during the coup in the capital, Rodriguez helped the Crown Prince, and then drifted away. But Paladin's strength was finally known to everyone. Originally, the recognized number one Knight of the continent was Hussain, a traitor of the Holy Order of the Shrines. But that day, Rodriguez revealed Paladin's strength and killed the Gray Clothed Sword Saint under Augustine the Sixth. In everyone's hearts, Rodriguez had replaced Hussain as the "Continent's Number One Knight".
Before this, although Hussain was wanted by the Shrines, he still firmly held the position of the continent's number one Knight because of his "record" of killing two Grand Knight Captains, the Presiding Judge, and many God Paladin who were chasing after him. But after Rodriguez's meteoric rise, Hussain's position was gradually shaken.
After all, although Hussain's record was brilliant, and everyone guessed that he might have broken through to the Saint Rank, it was only a guess. Rodriguez, on the other hand, was a real Saint Rank.
It seemed that Rodriguez was already standing at the peak of the Roland Continent's martial artists. The reason why Paladin, who had always been low-key, appeared in the Frozen Forest was to find Hussain!
To reach his level of cultivation, he needed to find an opponent who was on par with him. Ordinary people could no longer satisfy his pursuit of martial arts. At this time, the only person who could enter his eyes was the wanted Hussain!
According to the Shrines, Hussain was last seen in the Frozen Forest.
No one knew that Hussain followed Du Wei out of the Frozen Forest. The last message he left was that he had disappeared into the Frozen Forest.
And Rodriguez, on the other hand, set his target on Hussain.
•
"You met?" Du Wei's tone was grim.
"We met." Hussain nodded.
"And the result?"
Hussain seemed to be silent for a while. His expression was somewhat unfathomable to Du Wei. Then suddenly, the cold Paladin actually smiled: "You want to ask, who won?"
Du Wei didn't deny: "Of course I want to know. You are now the two strongest martial artists on the continent. "
"Okay." Hussain nodded, then as if playing it down: "I won, but he didn't lose."
Du Wei stared blankly.
"We fought twice." Hussain lightly said: "In the first round, he had the upper hand because he had the sword Beauty under the Moonlight. Although I was at a disadvantage, he couldn't break through the Starry Sky Dou Qi. We didn't intend to go all out, so we stopped temporarily. In the second round, he gave up the advantage of Beauty under the Moonlight and I won. "
So simple?
Of course Du Wei knows that a fight between two Paladin is definitely not as simple as Hussain made it out to be!
A fight between two of the strongest martial artists on the continent would definitely be exciting and intense. It's a pity he didn't get to see it with his own eyes.
"The wound on my shoulder was left to me by him," Hussain snorted: "But he won't be able to fight for at least a year!"
"Then this Beauty under the Moonlight … …" Du Wei frowned.
Hussain didn't directly answer this question. Instead, he looked at Du Wei with a smile: "You know what? You almost lost your life because of this. "
Du Wei was a little confused: "What does it have to do with me?"
"After we finished fighting, both sides stopped … We didn't fight to the death. In this world, it's rare to have such a good opponent. He asked me where he could find me in the future. I told him that I might be in the Northwest … … When he heard this, he was very surprised. Then he told me that he was also preparing to come to the Northwest. He also told me that he was entrusted by someone to come to the Northwest to find you … … to assist you. "
Du Wei was stunned for a moment before his face lit up with surprise: "He … … to assist me?"
"I was also surprised by this matter … … But he told me that after the coup and the death of the Crown Prince, Rodriguez hated you. After all, the Crown Prince had done him a favor. Although he promised the Crown Prince three things, he had already repaid it. But you still played a key role in the coup. You're lucky that Rodriguez didn't come looking for trouble … … Du Wei, at that time, I wasn't by your side. If he had secretly tried to assassinate you at that time, with his strength, even if you had a few more lives, you would've died long ago. "
Du Wei was speechless.
"But fortunately, someone persuaded him. Under that person's persuasion, Rodriguez changed his mind and was entrusted by that person to come to the Northwest to assist you. His original plan was to fight with me in the Frozen Forest and then leave for the Northwest. "Hussain sighed:" In the end, there was a slight deviation. Although the two of us didn't fight to the death, our vitality was greatly damaged and both of us were injured. At that time, we weren't too far away from the canyon of the Treant Tribe, so I decided to bring him to the canyon to recuperate. In the canyon … … we met the Dragons. "
Du Wei's face sank: "Could it be that the Old dragon broke his oath and came looking for us to settle old scores?"
Hussain shook his head: "It's not that Old dragon … … However, I'm afraid that the guy who came this time is not someone I can deal with alone. This guy's magic power is very ordinary, but his strength and physical strength … … can be said to be number one among the Dragons. I think you must remember when we first arrived at the Sacred Mountain of the Dragons, the stupid Dragon who was guarding the Dragon Gate, right? "
That stupid dragon? Was that the guy who was stumped by a math question?
"This time, it's that guy who came."
Hearing this, Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "So it's that idiot … … Is the chief of the Dragons crazy? Why did he send such an idiot? "
Hussain coldly said: "It's not just a simple idiot … … This guy's magic seems to be very poor, but his physical strength … … Du Wei, according to my estimation, I'm afraid that even the Old dragon is not as strong as him. Moreover, I heard that among the Dragons, if you compare martial arts and physical strength, even the chief of the Dragons is not as good as this idiot. "
"Furthermore … …" Hossein's face was ugly to behold. "This fellow told me that the Dragon Clan's Patriarch had already made a decision. Whoever brings your head back will inherit the position of Dragon Clan's Patriarch! The three sons of the Old dragon have already set off from the Sacred Mountain to the Roland Continent to look for you. "
Du Wei's scalp began to tingle.
The three princes of the Dragons?
Come to think of it, the strength of the Old dragon is so strong, its sons should not be too bad, right?
"Wait … … You said that this idiot told you this … … What's his intention?" Du Wei frowned.
"… …" Hussain's face turned gloomy: "This is the most dangerous part of this matter. He told me that he came to look for you to protect you … … The Dragons are very dissatisfied with the chief's decision. Everyone wants the position of the chief's successor. So there are people who don't want you to die in the hands of the three princes of the Dragons! Moreover, this idiot even brought some information about the three princes of the Dragons … … He told me that if possible, his master hopes that the three princes of the Dragons do not return to the Sacred Mountain alive! "
Du Wei's eyes lit up!
"According to the agreement, for the sake of fairness, the three princes of the Dragons have decided to come to you separately. Each one of them has a deadline of one month. If one fails, then the second one will take over. If nothing unexpected happens, the first one to come to you will be the eldest son of the Old dragon. He is a dragon who is good at magic. According to the information, he is not good at martial arts, but he is very good at magic. "
Du Wei's mind flashed: "Oh … … Since someone wants to cooperate … … Hmph, then he must have also told the eldest prince of the Dragons some of his weaknesses, right?"
Hussain suddenly smiled: "Indeed, he told me the weakness of the eldest prince of the Dragons … …"
•
At this moment, in the frozen world of the Northern Kingdom, in the northern part of the frozen forest, a tall and thin figure stood at the mouth of the canyon where the treants lived. He looked at the boundless sea of snow and the bone-chilling wind as he faced the south. His deep eyes flashed with a thoughtful light, and his pale face had a trace of weakness.
"Teacher Blue Ocean … … I hope you made the right choice. That Du Wei, can he really change the Northwest? "Rodriguez whispered to himself.
(I'm sorry, I only have this one chapter today. 4,000 words. I'm not feeling too well. I've been staying up late for a few days now. Shanghai's weather has been cloudy and rainy these past two days. It's very uncomfortable. I probably caught a cold and have a headache. After working hard for an entire night, I only managed to write 4,000 words … … I'll definitely make up for the missing content in the future. Everyone, don't worry. I don't dare to ask for a ticket today. It's because I didn't complete the task. Sigh … …)
