Chapter 403 "Qiao Qiao's Heart"
Now it was Du Wei's turn to be dumbfounded.
An entire group of Dragons? This Luo Xue had such a big tone and was so generous!
Could it be that Luo Xue knew Qiao Qiao before?
Du Wei's dumbfounded expression caused Luo Xue to misunderstand. He thought that Du Wei might have wavered.
Don't misunderstand. Du Wei's dumbfounded expression was not because he was considering Luo Xue's offer. It was purely because he was shocked by Luo Xue's offer! The only thought in his mind was to carefully ponder: Why was Qiao Qiao so valuable in the eyes of the Elf King?
Du Wei's eyes were filled with confusion. He looked at Qiao Qiao in his arms and then at Luo Xue.
Luo Xue had a gentle smile on his face. Seeing that Du Wei was "wavering," he smiled leisurely and said, "How about it? Your Excellency the Duke of the Tulip Family. An entire group of Dragons! Although after the Dragons were conquered by me, due to some needs, I have ordered the execution of dozens of them. However, there should be about a hundred left now. As long as you agree to my request, I promise you in the name of the Elf King that I will give you all of the remaining hundred dragons as your personal slaves! "
Du Wei calmed down slightly and smiled at Luo Xue. He slowly said, "Oh? Your Excellency the Elf King … that's more than a hundred dragons … Could it be that you have already broken the magic array on the Forgotten Icefield? You can send a hundred dragons to the continent? "
Luo Xue's face was stern as he said indifferently, "That is my problem. As long as you agree to my conditions, I can send them to you within the next year. Moreover, I promise you that you can obtain the goodwill and friendship of the Elf Race. Even if a war occurs in the future, the Elf Race will be merciful to you because of this friendship. "
The Elf King's voice was filled with strong confidence. He was confident that no one in the world could resist the temptation of such an offer.
"It is indeed very tempting." Du Wei sighed.
The expression on his face was somewhat strange. He lowered his head to look at the sleeping Jojo in his embrace and sighed: "Actually, there's nothing good about this woman … Although she's not bad looking, she's not bad at all. But for you elves, there shouldn't be a lack of beauties. Moreover, to tell you the truth, this woman has a bad temper and a fierce temper. As a woman, she doesn't know how to be 'gentle' at all. She's simply a female T-Rex. Moreover, she likes to beat and scold others at every turn, and she often threatens to refine me into a 'Soul Ice Crystal'. To be honest, there are many times when I feel a headache whenever I see her. "
After hearing Du Wei's words, a trace of expectation appeared on Luoxue's face. "So, you agree?"
Du Wei was still smiling. Then, he sighed and looked at Qiao Qiao who was in his embrace. His eyes revealed a rare trace of gentleness. "However, I often get a headache whenever I see her. But … I'm already used to having such a violent woman by my side. Sometimes, if she doesn't cause trouble for me for a long time, I'll be somewhat unused to it and even miss her … so … "
Du Wei raised his head and looked directly at the Elven King. He said word by word, "It's impossible to exchange her for over a hundred large lizards! Even if you can produce over a hundred Holy Megalosaurus, my answer will be the same: impossible! "
After saying this, Du Wei immediately activated his magic and the Shield of Light around him began to spin automatically. Du Wei looked at Luoxue vigilantly, in case this terrifyingly powerful Elven King would turn hostile and try to snatch her away after he rejected him.
Unexpectedly, after being rejected by Du-Wei, Luo Xue didn't show any signs of anger. Instead, his face showed obvious disappointment, but he still maintained a certain demeanor. Sighing with deep regret: "So it's like this … … Duke Tulip, could it be the woman in your arms is your lover?"
"No, she's not my lover. She's my fiancee's older sister, a 'burden' who always likes to cause trouble for me." Du Wei shook his head. For some reason, when he said this, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart. Looking at the sleeping Qiao Qiao, he could not help but think of the time when he was "possessed" and chased away Cybuster. In his coma, Qiao Qiao had put away all of her violent temperament and carefully and gently took care of him.
Luoxue caught the strange expression that flashed across Du Wei's face. The Elven King sighed again. He thought carefully for a moment and said, "Alright, Duke Tulip, although you rejected me, I must have this woman, so …"
Du Wei said resolutely, "If you want to snatch her away, then you might as well do it! Although I'm not as strong as you, I'm still a man! Moreover, this is my territory. If you single-handedly snatch away the woman in my embrace, then I won't be able to survive in the future! "
After hearing Du Wei's words, Luoxue smiled instead.
He looked at the rotating Shield of Light around Du Wei and saw Du Wei's vigilant expression as if he was facing a great enemy. Luoxue smiled lightly. The Elven King gracefully bowed and took a few steps back. He leisurely put his hands behind his back and a relaxed smile hung on his face. He shook his head and said, "Snatch? No, no, you must have misunderstood. As the Elven King, how could I do such a despicable act of snatching? I'm not those coarse and barbaric orcs! The Elven Race is a noble race with honor and pride. Those despicable things are not something the Elves can do. However … we can make a bet. What do you think? "
After speaking, Luoxue suddenly stretched out a hand from behind his back and lightly flicked his finger at Du Wei …
Whoosh!
A faint purple light streaked across the sky and quickly shot in front of Du Wei! This purple light had a somewhat demonic color. What shocked Du Wei was that although the Shield of Light in front of him was spinning as usual, this Shield of Light, which was known as the "strongest defensive technique," could not block this purple light at all!
Du-Wei could only watch helplessly as this ray of purple light penetrated the Shield of Light and landed directly on his chest. With a pop sound, a brilliant spark was born under the purple light. This was not a real flame, but the light of magic. Du Wei could not feel the heat of the spark at all. Instead, he felt a chill from the spot on his chest that was hit by the purple light.
Then, the cloth on his chest that was hit by the purple light fell off, revealing a purple mark on his chest. The mark seemed to have melted into his skin!
"This is the magic mark of the Elven Race." Luoxue said with a smile, "In order to show my respect to my master, I can give you a chance. I once heard that when you went to the Mountain of Dragons, you made an interesting bet with the chief of the Dragons. In the end, you won the bet. After I heard this story, I was very interested. So, why don't we make another bet! "
As Luoxue spoke, his tone became serious, "Originally, I did not want to make things difficult for you, but since you rejected my suggestion. Then … Duke of the Tulip Family, from now on, I will play a game of 'chase and escape' with you. I will stay here and wait for a day! For the rest of the day, you can take the lady in your arms with you and run away or hide in any place you like. After that, I will think of a way to find you … If I find you, then I will give you two more chances!
In other words, I can allow you to be caught by me three times! After I catch you, I will let you go again and also give you a day's head start! But you only have three chances. Once the three chances are up, if you are caught by me again, then even though I said before that I don't want to kill you, and I won't go back on my words, but … I can capture both of you and bring you back to the North with me! Then, before our allied army conquers the human continent, you and this beautiful lady will have to stay in the north as guests! "
Although his voice was soft and did not seem to be threatening, when it fell into Du Wei's ears, Luoxue's casual tone made Du Wei feel a chill in his heart!
He knew that this was definitely not a joke!
What exactly did Jojo have that the King of Elves was so concerned about?!
Du Wei stared at the King of Elves and said in a low voice, "Luoxue, are you so confident? You should know that this is my territory! No matter how strong you are, you are still alone! "
"You are right." Luoxue did not hide anything and said, "No matter how strong I am, I am only one person. You have countless experts under your command here and tens of thousands of soldiers. You can also ask for help from other experts on the continent at any time … If you all come together, I will naturally be far from your match. But … Duke of the Tulip Family, if you do that, then even if you break the rules of the game first! Then don't blame me for breaking my promise! You should know that with my strength, I don't think there is anyone on your continent who can fight against me alone! Even if you find more people, the most I can do is retreat. If you want to capture me or kill me, that's absolutely impossible! Once you break the rules of the game first, then I don't have to keep my promise! Duke of the Tulip Family, at that time, I will find an opportunity to secretly take your head. At the same time, I can also secretly capture this beautiful human lady. "
At the end, the King of Elves said unhurriedly, "I said that I am a noble Elf and don't like to do things so despicably. So, this game is an opportunity that I am giving you! I promise that within a month, I will give you three chances to be caught by me! If you can persist for a month and not be caught by me a fourth time, then I will leave this place and this matter will be dropped. This is my only concession. If you don't agree, then I can only use some methods that I don't like. "
Du Wei could not help but be furious when he heard this!
What nobility! Being a bandit had to be honorable!
Du Wei immediately calculated in his heart. In the end, he had to admit that Luo Xue was right. If he refused, even if he gathered all the experts he could find and even if he could chase Luo Xue away, it was absolutely impossible to kill or capture him. Once he angered this guy, after he ran away, he could quietly come back. Whether it was to kill him or capture Jojo, he could do it all!
His strength was not as good as Luo Xue's, and this really made Du Wei angry.
In fact, he was not bad. He was not even 18 years old and had only cultivated magic for three years. It was already amazing that he had turned from a magic idiot to a genius Great Magician. However, there was nothing he could do when he encountered an expert like Luo Xue who exceeded his imagination.
After pondering for a long time, Du Wei took a deep breath under Luo Xue's cold gaze. "I believe in the reputation of your Elf Race … so I will bet with you!"
"Very good." Luoxue actually sat down cross-legged in the air and smiled leisurely: "Now, Duke of the Tulip Family, you can leave. One day later, I will chase after you … Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, I can sense the purple magic mark I left on you within 300 kilometers. Therefore, for your safety, you have to find a way to stay at least three hundred kilometers away from me and hide. Therefore, you better not think about hiding in Loulan City. I will sit here for a day. If during this time, you violate the rules of the game and find other experts to surround and attack me, then you know what the result will be! "
Although Du Wei's expression was calm, the anger after being insulted burned fiercely in his heart.
Disgrace! This was absolutely disgrace!
Yet, he was humiliated in such a manner by his opponent in his own headquarters!
However, his opponent was the Elf King who even the chief of the Dragons could not defeat! Just the chief of the Dragons alone could defeat Gandorf, Hussain, and Saimel! Luo Xue was an even stronger existence!
He took a deep look at Luo Xue. This last look was full of meaning. Even Luo Xue's heart jumped slightly when he saw it.
Without another word, Du Wei immediately turned around and left with Jojo in his arms without hesitation! In the air, he used a wind control spell and left.
Elf King! Today's bet is a humiliation to me, Du Wei. I will definitely remember it in my heart!
•
Luo Xue sat cross-legged in the air and watched Du Wei leave. He suddenly sighed softly. Looking up at the sky, he muttered to himself, "Yes, able to stretch and bend, able to endure what others cannot endure, talented, ambitious, and spirited … Alas, Luo Xue, ah, Luo Xue, such a human talent. Before the war, you really should have killed him immediately! Is it a mistake to leave such an outstanding human talent alive for your own pride … "
As he spoke, Luo Xue seemed to laugh at himself.
•
The wind whistled in his ears. Although the cold wind of the northwest blew on his face, it could not blow away the fire in Du Wei's heart.
To be "driven" out of his own home by the enemy, Du-Wei may be angry in his heart, but after experiencing so much, Du-Wei already knew how to control his anger.
He did not choose to escape immediately. Instead, he returned to the Duke's mansion first. Then, he found Philip and gave him a few words. In order not to cause panic among his subjects, he only said that he would be going on a long journey for a period of time. Letting Philip take charge of the overall situation after he left, Du-Wei didn't even see Vivian and directly left with Jojo!
After flying out of Loulan City, Du Wei immediately took out a flying broom. Jojo still did not wake up, so he had to tie Jojo to his back and ride on the broom. Using the broom's fast flying speed, he flew as far as possible! Moreover, flying like this can also conserve Du Wei's physical strength and mana. It's much more energy efficient than flying with magic.
Du Wei carefully thought about how to deal with the Elf King. He originally wanted to go east. If he could successfully escape to the capital, he might be able to use the Holy Shrines to resist the Elf King.
However, it seems that Pope Paul XVI still hasn't recovered from his defeat to White River Sorrow. Moreover, in the Shrines, other than Paul XVI, there are no other strong people.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Du Wei immediately made a decision. North!
His goal is Anglia City. After all, Green Robe Gandorf is currently in Anglia City. Moreover, Hussain is commanding his Holy Order and is training outside not far from Anglia City.
The distance between Anglia City and Loulan City is a full three days if one were to ride a fast horse. Du Wei calculated that with the broom's speed, he can fly for about two hours. After all, the broom's current design limit is that it can't fly for long periods of time. The rest of the journey would take him about a day and a half to reach Anglia City.
He touched the purple magic mark on his chest. Du Wei's heart is even more depressed.
He has already tried several methods to remove the magic mark, but as long as the mark is gone, he is not a god! As long as he hides in a sea of people, can the Elf King really find him?
It can be said that this mark is the key!
However, the Elf King's magic is really powerful. Du Wei scratched his head and thought of many methods, but he still couldn't get rid of the magic mark. In this mark, there seems to be a trace of the Elf King's mental strength, tightly entangled in his own spiritual space. With Du Wei's ability, he can't get rid of it.
After flying for about two hours with the broom, Du Wei calculated that he is about two hundred miles away from Loulan City.
After flying for a while, Du Wei suddenly thought of a key problem … It seems that he has overestimated his physical strength!
Flying at high altitudes is not an easy thing. The strong wind blowing on the body requires a lot of physical strength and magic power to maintain the direction, and … Du Wei is carrying a person in his arms!
He carefully calculated and confirmed that he has flown a safe distance of about three hundred miles. Du Wei decided to take a break immediately! Otherwise, when his physical strength is exhausted and Luo Xue catches up, he won't even have the chance to resist!
What's more, Du Wei originally rushed back to Loulan City from Anglia City! He hasn't rested for a while, and now he has to hurry again …
Landing on the ground, Du Wei chose a place next to a forest. He took out water and food from his storage ring and hurriedly ate and drank some. Although his body was sore from the continuous long journey, Du Wei insisted on standing up. In the wilderness, he practiced the basic movements of the Starry Sky Dou Qi and the set of physical skills from the Great Snow Mountain twice. Although he is still tired, his spirit is much more vigorous.
Looking at Jojo lying under the tree trunk, Du Wei sighed.
Jojo hasn't woken up yet. It seems that she was seriously injured by the Golden Dragon. Even with the fountain of youth, she can't recover immediately. However, after checking Jojo's injuries again, her breathing is still stable and her pulse is only a little fast, but it is still steady and strong. Du Wei also took the opportunity to treat her broken bones with medicine. In fact, under the effect of the fountain of youth, most of the injuries have already healed, but some of the broken bones still need some time to heal.
After checking her limbs, Du Wei remembered that Jojo is injured … Her ribs are probably also fractured. However, looking at Jojo with her eyes closed, Du Wei hesitated.
After all, she is a girl. Checking her ribs naturally means touching her chest …
Sighing, Du Wei smiled. At this time, he should heal this woman's injuries as soon as possible so that he can run faster.
Gritting his teeth, he reached out with his hand to remove Jojo's breastplate. His fingers had only just made contact with the lower left side of Jojo's chest. Due to his excitement, he used too much force and accidentally poked Jojo's chest. Jojo suddenly uttered out a soft "En", a pained expression appearing on her face. Next, Jojo's two hands immediately grabbed onto Du Wei's lapel.
Du Wei quickly retracted his hand. Raising his head, he saw that Jojo had opened her eyes. Her pretty face was flushed and she was looking at Du Wei with a complicated expression.
"Err … you, woke up?" Du Wei revealed a somewhat 'guilty' expression. Suddenly, he realized that his hand was still poking the girl's chest area. He quickly coughed out and retracted his hand.
"I just want to treat your injuries …" Du Wei mumbled. Before he could finish, he heard Jojo whispering, "You … no need to explain, I know."
"Err?" Du Wei was stunned.
Jojo's face turned even redder. She lowered her head as if she didn't dare to look into Du Wei's eyes. Her voice was even lower. "I, I actually woke up a long time ago. But you gave me that thing to drink. It's very strange. I'm clearly awake, but I can't open my eyes and speak. But I can still hear the sounds around me. You … your conversation with Luo Xue, I probably heard it all. "
Du Wei relaxed and said, "Then how come you can speak now?"
Jojo glared at Du Wei and suddenly said angrily, "You … of course it's you. Just now … I was excited and found that I could move! You … you gave me that strange potion to drink. It's really strange. I originally thought that I was going to die, but I didn't expect that I would still be alive. "
Only then did Du Wei relax. Suppressing his embarrassment, he asked Jojo how she felt. After confirming that Jojo was fine, he said with a bitter smile, "This is also good. It seems that the Fountain of Youth is indeed effective. I think at most by tomorrow, you'll be alive and kicking."
Then Du Wei sighed and said, "Since you've been listening to my conversation with Luo Xue, then you should also know our current situation. Do you have any ideas? "
After Du Wei finished asking, he looked at Jojo. However, he found that Jojo's head was lowered, as if her soul had left her body. This woman actually didn't seem to hear his question at all. Her eyes were somewhat dazed and confused. Du Wei called out again. Only then did Jojo suddenly react. However, her expression was somewhat panicked and bashful.
She didn't answer Du Wei. Instead, she suddenly said in an extremely low voice, "Du Wei, you … let me ask you, why didn't you agree to the Elf King's condition? I … "
"Don't joke around!" Du Wei curled his lips and said, "If I swap you out, wouldn't that old cuckold crush me to death when he finds out?"
A trace of disappointment immediately appeared in Jojo's eyes. She couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Could it be … that you're only doing this because of this?"
Du Wei laughed and forced a smile. He patted Jojo's shoulder and said with a smile, "Of course it's not only because of this! Although you have a bad temper and a lot of trouble, you're Vivian's sister after all! Speaking of which, we'll be relatives in the future! How can I casually swap you out with someone else? Moreover, you're not my personal property. "
The disappointment in Jojo's eyes deepened. After hearing Du Wei's words, she silently lowered her head as if she was very depressed.
After a long time, Du Wei took out food and water. When he handed it to her, Jojo finally raised her head again. This time, her beautiful eyes flashed as if she had used up all her courage to stare straight at Du Wei. Although her face was flushed, her tone was very firm.
"Du Wei … you, I heard your conversation with Luo Xue. You said 'my Jojo'. What … what does this mean?"
Du Wei was stunned for a moment. Then, he laughed and said, "Ah? Did I say that? Haha, I don't even remember. But even if I said it, it doesn't mean anything. After all, you're still my subordinate in name now. So … uh, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. "
Pa!
Du Wei had just finished speaking when he heard such a sound. Looking down, he found that Jojo's hand had been pinching a tree branch. After hearing Du Wei's words, her fingers unconsciously exerted force and the tree branch was immediately broken.
Jojo's originally flushed face immediately turned pale. Biting her lips hard, she looked deeply at Du Wei and didn't speak anymore.
After resting for a while, Du Wei asked Jojo if they could continue on their way. Jojo's reaction seemed very cold and she simply said yes. Then, seeing that Du Wei wanted to hug her again, Jojo didn't know where she got the strength to push Du Wei away and said angrily, "I've already woken up! I don't need you to hug me! "
After speaking, she forced herself to stand up with the help of a tree trunk.
Du Wei laughed bitterly. "Your injuries haven't healed yet …"
"I can fly by myself!" Jojo's pretty face was frosty. Unfortunately, after all, her broken bones hadn't healed. Just after taking two steps and before she could finish chanting an incantation, she was in so much pain that she couldn't stop gasping.
Du Wei sighed and walked over from behind. Without any hesitation, he forcefully lifted her up. Jojo shouted again and again. Although she was scolding him, Du-Wei could clearly feel that Jojo didn't use much force when pushing his hand … …
Uh, if she really did use force to push him, after all, she was an eighth rank warrior. Even if she was injured, as long as she really wanted to push him away, he was afraid that a wind blade would chop him.
Jojo was once again lifted up by Du Wei, but she suddenly calmed down and her hands obediently hooked around Du Wei's neck. Du Wei felt a warmth on his shoulder. Jojo's face was already pressed against his shoulder.
From this angle, Du Wei couldn't see Jojo's face. At this moment, he didn't dare to think too much about it. After determining the direction, he once again used the Wind Control Technique and continued to fly north.
This flight lasted until the evening of the second day.
Du Wei calculated the distance and estimated that he should be less than a hundred miles away from Anglia City.
At this moment, Du Wei only felt that his whole body was sore and his bones were about to fall apart. Although his spiritual force and magic power were more than enough, his body really couldn't hold on any longer! The overdraft of his physical strength caused his clothes to be soaked in sweat. The sweat on his forehead kept flowing down, making his eyes itch.
At this moment, a small hand suddenly gently stroked Du Wei's face and gently wiped away the sweat from the corner of his eyes.
Du Wei was stunned and subconsciously looked down. He saw Jojo looking up at him. Her previously cold face was now filled with undisguised tenderness. Her long silver hair softly draped over her arm.
The weight in her eyes made Du Wei panic and he almost fell from the sky.
Finally, Du Wei felt that his physical strength was exhausted. He once again landed on the ground and placed Jojo on the ground. After panting for a while, he said: "There's about a hundred miles left … Let's rest for a while and then work harder. Then we'll be able to reach Anglia City!"
Looking at Du Wei's tired appearance, Jojo felt her heart ache and soften. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "Du Wei … I, I have something that I must tell you now!"
"Ah?" Du Wei frowned: "You …"
"You're planning to reach Anglia City, meet my teacher, and think that with his help, you might be able to deal with Luo Xue, right?"
Du Wei nodded: "Although we might not be able to beat him, but with the help of that green hat guy, we might be able to escape a bit further."
"Then … I have to tell you the truth. Du Wei … Teacher has always strictly ordered me not to tell anyone about this, especially you! "
Du Wei looked at Jojo's serious expression: "What?"
Jojo didn't seem to dare to look Du Wei in the eye: "Do you still remember that last time I went with teacher to the Dragons' God Mountain?"
"I remember."
"It was at that time that Teacher was severely injured. Originally, he had a chance to recover. But on the way back, we met the Golden Dragon again. His teacher's personality was too stubborn. He had to kill that golden dragon. Originally, his injuries were very serious, but he stubbornly insisted on fighting the Golden Dragon without caring about his body. In the end, although the dragon was slain … Teacher's injuries became even more serious! In fact, although he had been recuperating, he had already secretly told me … "
Du Wei already sensed that something was wrong: "Told you what?"
"Actually, his injuries haven't healed until now. Moreover, because of that serious injury, his consciousness had suffered a great deal of damage! Although his injuries healed later on, his strength hasn't healed … So, teacher told me that he actually doesn't have the strength of a Sage level anymore! Now, he only has the strength of an eighth-level or ninth-level magician left … Also, because he forced himself to slay the dragon when he was injured, the damage to his spiritual consciousness will probably never be healed … In other words, it's impossible for him to become a Sage level magician again in this lifetime! He, he always wanted me to keep this a secret. I can't tell anyone, especially you. "
Jojo's tone was heavy, then she looked up at Du Wei and said in a low voice: "So, if we want to ask teacher to deal with that Luo Xue, I'm afraid … it's impossible."
