Become a martial girl

Chapter 552 Dark Prince
The entire casting time is only such a short moment.Almost as soon as the contact was made, the black shadow's hands left, and the magic circle disappeared immediately.The black shadow took a few steps back, but Rand stepped forward quickly at this moment, put the candle on the ground beside him, and knelt down in front of Edward on one knee.

"Your Highness? Do you feel better?"

At this moment, a miracle happened.Edward, who hadn't responded no matter how Mengdie called, now slowly raised his head.A little focus began to appear in his eyes, and when he saw clearly who the person in front of him was, his pale and expressionless cheeks twitched for a while.

"Old... teacher..."

"Your Highness, that's great, you've finally woken up." Rand had a relieved smile on his face.But what matched his smile were the tears that flowed from Edward's eyes.

"Master...I...I killed...Father...Emperor..."

Maybe it's because I haven't spoken for too long, or maybe I haven't fully recovered yet.Edward's voice was distorted and weak.After waking up again from his absent-minded state, his face was instantly filled with pain.

"Don't say it...Your Highness...don't say it..."

Rand stood up, hugging Edward's head as if holding his own child.The old man stroked Edward's hair kindly, and tears filled his eyes.

"I know... Your Highness. It is because I know that I am worried about His Highness's condition... Please forgive me, Your Highness, in order to cure you, Lord Sombra must find a definite and effective method, so it is only now that you can save Your Highness... ..."

"Save...me...? Why...you...save me...?" Edward's tone slowly became agitated, "I...killed my father...I...killed...my father... ...! With... this sword...!!!"

"No! Your Highness, please... I beg you, old minister, don't say anything! We can't change the fact that has already happened, but please look at the old minister's face and stop blaming yourself! Please! ...Your Highness!"

Edward's eyes became confused again.There was no anger in his expression, it was the unique eyes of people who had given up their lives.He began to laugh dryly, his hoarse and intermittent voice was like an old saw blade sawing a piece of hard steel.

"Let me die..." Edward closed his eyes, touched the sheathed silver moon in his hand, "Kill... me... teacher... kill me... kill me... patricide... Kingslayer...I have...no reason...to live anymore..."

Rand let go of Edward's head, and this time, he fell to his knees before the prince.

"Your Highness, this old minister will never be able to do it. But before His Highness, there is a more meaningful path besides death waiting for His Highness to walk, isn't there?"

"The road...? In front of me... there is no road... only thorns..."

Rand shook his head: "Your Highness, I know the despair in front of His Highness, and the pain in His heart. This kind of pain has also been experienced by the veteran, and I can fully understand the kind of being played by the world and finally abandoned as garbage. So...Your Highness, come on, come and join me with the old minister, let's walk this road together, and create a better world!"

Edward lowered his head slightly, looking at Rand with some doubts in his eyes.

"A better...world?"

Rand nodded: "Yes, Your Highness. The old minister... the old minister is tired, and more importantly, the old minister no longer wants to take the path of fighting with His Highness. Your Highness, join the Black Flame Snake. Here Everyone is burdened with misfortune and disaster, and everyone has a painful experience. Here, each of us is a partner, a partner who strives to create a more ideal world!"

Edward looked at Rand, with confusion in his eyes.

"You want me...to join the Black Flame Snake...?"

"Yes. Your Highness, this world is imperfect and full of flaws. It is precisely because it is full of flaws that we suffer, we are sad, and there are such tortures and wars. Could it be that your Highness is not only blaming yourself Didn't you think that all this is caused by the imperfection of the world itself? Didn't you think that you can destroy this world and recreate a more perfect world to get rid of those misfortunes and pains? "

"Get rid of misfortune...and...pain..." Edward began to moan a little in his throat.

"The Black Flame Snake where the old minister is now is an organization formed to save everyone in this world. Our master is full of kindness and wisdom, and that lord will lead us to find a way to free everyone from suffering. Yes, we cannot change the past pain, but we can change our future life, and change the corrupt and flawed appearance of this world. Your Highness, come. Black Flame Snake welcomes anyone to join, and together with the veteran, Swing the sword in your hand for a brand new world."

Rand bowed his head with a humble and respectful expression.The old man's earnest words and sincere demeanor seemed to Edward today to be a guiding light in the darkness.The corners of his mouth twitched, his cloudy and lifeless eyes swept across the faces of the other members of the Black Flame Snake one by one.Finally, he lowered his head and looked at the sword on his lap - Yinyue.

"Join... the Black Flame Snake...?"

Trembling fingers touched the moon-shaped decoration on the hilt.

"If...it is really possible...to stop being so painful..."

The prince, who was gradually falling into darkness, touched a silver moon ornament on his waist with his hand.

"There will be no more sorrow... There will be no more despair... If you can just swing your sword... If you can cut off all pain..."

Those cloudy eyes were fixed on the silver moon ornament.

"Then I... will join you..."

"Join... black... flame... snake..."

"If you join, everything will be irreparable!!!"

Suddenly, the glass beside Edward cracked instantly, and the strong wind blowing in blew out the candle.Startled, Rand immediately pulled out Cang Yue in the darkness and took a step back.But at this moment, a figure rushed in from the window, and rushed towards the members of the Black Flame Snake in the darkness one after another."Ah!" "Wow!" "Woo!" After a few screams, the members of the Black Flame Snake were silent again, and the black shadow immediately rushed towards Rand!
Cang Yue unsheathed, and the bleak light pierced the darkness.His sword is very fast, and he will definitely be able to cut the opponent in half!But just when his blade was about to touch the opponent, he was startled suddenly, the sword in his hand stopped immediately, and he stretched out his hand to catch the opponent.

It was a member of the Black Flame Snake, whose unconscious body fell into Rand's arms.At this moment, the former Sword Master had already felt two breathing sounds behind him.He put down the Black Flame Snake member, turned his back to the two breaths behind him, and said coldly——

"It's you again? Why did you turn back so quickly?"

"Turning back? Oh, how funny."

One of the two breaths slowly stood up straight, covering the laceration of the waist due to the violent exercise just now.She took a breath and sneered: "If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that you will really be deceived by your plan. It is a pity that I was also a soldier. If you think about such a plan carefully, it is not easy to crack it. What a problem!"

The wind howled outside the window, and the storm rushed in through the cracked window.The girl stood up straight, her hair was still tied with a wine glass, and stood in front of Edward.Beside her, with a white body and red eyes, is her best friend - White Wolf.

Rand turned around slowly.In the darkness, his eyes regained the sharpness they had when he was called Sword Master.That pair of eyes stared at the girl tightly, and said in a cold tone: "How did you notice it? Generally speaking, it is impossible to notice my secondary trap."

Mengdie tightened the bandage on her hand, and said: "Yes. It's really clever. First of all, you noticed that I was following you. When you were anxious, you asked a subordinate to pretend to be a black shadow to let me find out. If If you don’t think about it carefully, you may think that this is a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and then everyone will turn back immediately.”

Rand said: "Isn't it? Or are you an exception?"

Mengdie smiled: "No, I'm no exception. Because it's hard to imagine that after you lure people out, you can trick them back in order to hide the mistake of being followed. But it's a pity, your The subordinate is not as smart as you think. There was a small flaw in what he said, which made me realize that it was just a hoax."

Rand: "A flaw?"

Mengdie: "That's right. When I forced you to ask why your subordinate appeared in front of the kindergarten and was wearing a black cloak, he once said something like this——

'I... I don't know anything!It's just that someone knocked on my door just now, gave me fifty sula and this cloak, and asked me to stand here for an hour after putting it on!Give me another fifty sula when it's over!Although...although I was very annoyed that the man woke me up so late, but...this is one hundred sula!Enough for me to spend a year in style! '

--above. "

Rand: "What's wrong with that?"

Mengdie shook her finger and said: "No, it's very wrong. The person said that someone knocked on my house just now, 'Just now'. Here, there is a problem. If you say that you have already prepared a sneak attack and adopted the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain If it is true, then it is absolutely impossible to temporarily find someone to act as a fake black shadow. In this case, I have two guesses. One, you did find someone to play it just now. The reason is that you noticed my Stalking, trying to trick me back. Second, you are playing by your own people, and you want to trick me back through acting."

"It's just a pity, no matter which one it is, it's destined to be a very bad scam. So, I will use my plan and leave on purpose to let you relax your vigilance and come back. When you are doing these sneaky things here, I have already dealt with all the guard posts and black flame snakes you have placed in the kindergarten. Uncle Rand, your plan to recruit Edward is doomed to fail here!"
