Good things happened one after another in the Holy Crown City. First, Yalina successfully advanced and became the youngest Grand Magus on the continent except for Han Jin. Then, Sassoux, Léger, and Malishen, the Lord of Depew City, returned to the Holy Crown City. Due to various considerations, Han Jin didn't show up for the time being. Guevara and Malishen were in the preliminary contact. If Malishen refused to be conferred by the Holy Crown City, there would still be some room for negotiation. After all, Han Jin was the leader of the Holy Crown City, and Guevara's words didn't count.
Of course, this kind of thing couldn't be hidden from smart people. Without Han Jin's approval, Guevara wouldn't have made such a surprising request. But no one would expose the truth. In the face of the threat of the Abyss World, unity and cooperation were the main theme. As the saying goes, if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. If the alliance failed, all the races on the ground would be destroyed.
Surprisingly, Malishen agreed to Guevara's proposal without any hesitation, and he didn't even propose any exchange conditions. However, one of Malishen's deputies made a tactful request to Guevara. During the period when Léger and Sassoux stayed in Depew City, they attended the parties held by the nobles almost every day. According to Malishen's deputy, several noble ladies fell in love with Léger and Sassoux respectively. To put it bluntly, they wanted to unite with the Holy Crown City through marriage.
This kind of request should have been made by Malishen himself, but the deputy had already exposed a lot of things. Guevara immediately saw through Malishen's panic and weakness.
In fact, this was understandable. If Han Jin's rise was a miracle, then Han Jin's ability to defeat the Fallen Angel Catherine was completely a myth. Not to mention Malishen's limited psychological endurance, even the group of people in the Capital of Elements who were centered around Solomon's eldest son was collectively silent. Before this, they had always been hostile to the Holy Crown City, but they didn't dare to show it too obviously because they were afraid of Solomon's pressure.
Then, Chesam of Cold Shadow City sent a messenger. About seven or eight days ago, more than ten Black Dragons launched a probing attack on Cold Shadow City. Although it was just a probing attack, the battle was very intense. It was like an encounter between an angel and a demon. When they saw their mortal enemy, both sides would not hesitate to release their fiercest attacks. In the end, Cold Shadow City won and shot down two of the Black Dragons. The rest of the Black Dragons fled into the sky. Chesam was worried that the Black Dragons would attack the Holy Crown City again, so he sent out a small combat team consisting of more than ten Titans to assist the defense of the Holy Crown City.
It was not an exaggeration to describe Chesam as arrogant and respectful. Chesam's reason was very good, because the Black Dragons were a great threat to humans. All magicians, even those at Green's level, would be useless in front of the Black Dragons, because the Black Dragons were immune to all magic! On the other hand, human warriors lacked the ability to fight in the air, so they could only passively take a beating.
However, when the think tank of Holy Crown City read Chesam's letter, everyone could see that the letter was full of flattery. The command of the Titan team fell on Dorminy, and Chesam also revealed that in the meeting of the Titans, he had already decided that if he, Chesam, were to die in battle, Dorminy would take over as the clan leader, and his proposal was unanimously approved.
What a blatant lie!
Chesam had always been a dictator, and no one had ever dared to oppose him, not even the Titans. However, the young Dorminy did not offend him. She had become a Thunder Titan at a much younger age than Chesam because of her rapid progress. Chesam had betrayed her to Zagunéd. It was ridiculous that Chesam had held a meeting of the entire clan for no reason.
Of course, Guevara and the others also saw the good side of Chesam from the letter. When he mentioned the Abyssal Races, especially the Black Dragon Race, Chesam's words became extremely fierce and unyielding. It was obvious that he could not forget the humiliation and hatred of his ancestors. Or rather, there was no Titan who could let go of it!
It was said that blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly. However, the recent events in Holy Crown City had denied this saying.
On this day, another great news came. After several days of hard work, Green, Yalina, Hogan, and Kane had finally succeeded in making the first Demon Annihilation Crossbow. For the powerhouses in Holy Crown City, this was a brand new weapon, and they needed to hold a trial. The Demon Annihilation Crossbow wouldn't have been developed so quickly if they had been working on it stealthily in the past. However, Han Jin had already told Gerrin that he didn't need to worry about anything anymore. He just needed to do it in the fastest way possible.
The trial was set at ten o 'clock in the morning. The God of War, the Vatican, and all the legions in Holy Crown City would all send people to watch the drill.
Half an hour before ten o 'clock, Han Jin slowly opened his eyes. In the past few days, he had been like a spinning top. In addition to practicing, he had been going to the edge of the city to set up his Yin-Yang Formation. Even when he was eating, he was thinking. Yalina was busier than him, so she would not disturb him. Sunier knew that Han Jin was under a lot of pressure, so she would not pester him like she did when they first came back to the city. At most, she would chat with him for a while at the table, and then quietly leave.
Han Jin moved a little, opened the door, and stepped into the corridor. There were very few people on the deck. Everyone had already gone to the barracks.
Harley and the Immortal Bird were standing at the bow of the ship, talking about something. However, the Immortal Bird was still young and couldn't speak. Only Harley was talking non-stop.
"You know what? We should be best friends. "Harley said.
The Immortal Bird tilted its head and stared at Harley without blinking. The Immortal Bird had a highly developed intelligence, which was not inferior to the dragon. Although it could not speak, it could more or less understand Harley's meaning.
"Why? Look! " Harley said, "My master is Master Raphael, and your master is Miss Yalina, right? Master Raphael and Miss Yalina are husband and wife. Do you know what husband and wife are? Let me tell you, husband and wife are the most intimate partners. They don't want to be separated for even a moment. They even sleep together, breathe in each other's breaths, and exchange … Ahem, forget it. You are still young, so I won't tell you about this. Otherwise, my master will kill me! Anyway, husband and wife must share weal and woe together. Nothing can separate them! Since our masters are the most intimate partners, then we should also be best friends. Do you agree? "
The Immortal Bird shook its wings and let out a low cry. Harley's words were a little complicated, but it could feel that Harley was deliberately flattering it. In the past few days, Yalina had been working hard on the Demon Annihilation Crossbow. It was Harley who had been chattering beside it, so it was used to Harley's flattery.
"How about this, let's become sworn brothers! What do you think? " Harley paused. "Master, how does the story go … Yes, it's a brother who doesn't ask to be born in the same year, month, and day, but asks to die in the same year, month, and day!" As Harley spoke, he reached out his successfully materialized skeletal hand and stroked the Immortal Bird's feathers.
The Immortal Bird narrowed its eyes slightly, shook its head, and nodded. It didn't mean anything else, it just liked the feeling of being stroked. It was reasonable to say that the Immortal Bird hated undead creatures, but it was very smart. In the Abandoned Land, it felt the closeness between Han Jin and Yalina. For Han Jin's sake, it tolerated Harley's existence. Otherwise, it would have blown Harley away the first time he tried to get close to it.
"You agree? Very good, very good! " Harley deliberately ignored the Immortal Bird's first move and only paid attention to what he wanted. Then he said, "We are brothers now, but … who will be the big brother?"
In the distant drill ground, Hogan and Kane pushed a crossbow out of the enchantment, followed by Yalina and Glynn. The Immortal Bird immediately sensed Yalina's aura. It raised its head to the sky and let out a very loud chirp to greet Yalina.
"Divide by power? No, no, how can this be?! " Harley was taken aback. "Let me give you an example. An ordinary couple raised their child painstakingly. They took out all their savings to let the child learn magic and combat skills. Finally, one day, the child became a powerful professional. Could it be that the child can disown his parents because of his own strength?!" Harley said earnestly. "Let me give you an example. That's a beast! "At the end of his speech, Harley looked up and sighed.
The Immortal Bird looked at Harley curiously. It felt that Harley's sigh was full of sorrow. Was this guy not happy?
"The fairest way is to use the years of life as the standard." Harley said, "Baby, how many days have you been born?" Harley pretended not to know the origin of the Immortal Bird, but his words revealed his inner joy. Otherwise, he would have at least asked how many years the Immortal Bird had been born.
"As for me, I have probably lived for thousands of years. Although I have been hiding in a dark world for a long time, I am still alive, right?" Harley continued, "You haven't lived as long as me, have you?"
Of course, the Immortal Bird didn't answer. It was still looking at Harley.
"It seems that I have to be the big brother. Alas …" Harley's tone was very difficult. "You don't understand. Being the big brother is very difficult. When you are in danger, I have to protect you. When you are wronged, I have to stand up for you. Tsk, tsk. You see, no matter what troubles you, as long as you come to me, everything will be solved. You are so happy … but I, my life is so hard!"
The Immortal Bird suddenly sensed something and turned back. When it saw Han Jin, it let out a joyful cry.
"But … if I am in danger, you will also help me, right?" Harley said again.
Those who were familiar with Harley's character would understand that everything before was just a prelude. This sentence was the most important of all.
"Harley, what are you doing?" Han Jin asked.
"Haha … Master, let me tell you a piece of good news. I have become sworn brothers with Baby!" The one-sided agreement was settled, and Harley's voice sounded very proud.
Han Jin ignored Harley and patted the fluff on the Immortal Bird's chest. "Let's go, Baby. I will take you to Yalina."
This sentence was very simple, and the Immortal Bird understood it. It chirped excitedly, then spread its wings and shot into the sky. Han Jin's figure flashed and landed on the Immortal Bird's back.
"Master, second brother … Wait for me …" Harley howled, then turned into the Soul-Devouring Orb and chased after them.
