North Journey

The smooth ice surface sealed the rope snake behind him the moment Gordon Defoe stepped out of the cave.

Gordon Defoe, who was relieved, tugged at the corner of his frozen clothes, and when he found that he couldn't pull it out, he simply tore off the clothes, and then couldn't help touching the thick layer of ice , shivering under the biting chill.

I finally know why it suddenly became cold...

He looked at Elsoren and his wolves, who were smiling and standing among the "ice sculptures" all over the mountain, and the densely packed worms and snakes in the ice that made people feel numb.I hope this lord won't remember his previous provocation, otherwise, to be frozen like this... Hey, it's really scary!

"My lord, the Earl seems to be poisoned."

Simon didn't notice the undercurrent between Shi Ling and Gordon Defoe, or in other words, the unilateral undercurrent of Gordon Defoe.He put down Lawrence Hodge on his back, looked at him with some concern, and then looked at Shi Yan with some expectation.

Of course, Shi Yan would not refuse to save Lawrence Hodge, after all, that was their purpose for coming here.

The gentle witch power was transmitted from his hands to Lawrence Hodge's body, carefully expelling the entangled black threads in his body.This kind of poison is somewhat similar to what Jenny said before, but it is much more difficult to deal with.

However, before he could completely expel the poison, the sound of heavy footsteps came suddenly.

"What did you do to the master?!"

The rushing figure dodged Ming Qi's sharp claws, pushed Shi Yan away, and snatched the body of his subordinate Lawrence Hodge.Black blood poured out of Lawrence Hodge's mouth, his face of disastrous defeat, and his weak breath all showed the fact that Lawrence Hodge was dying.

Tony Hodge, who was hastily put down by him, bumped into a tree trunk that was frozen by frost because of his unsteady footsteps, but Tony Hodge did not have the usual arrogant temper at this time, and he was never neglected at all. Annoyed, he leaned against the tree trunk in a daze, as if this was the only way to force himself not to fall.

"father……"

He murmured, as if he couldn't believe that the person who fell on the ground would be his father who seemed to never fall no matter what happened, the old man who could chase and beat him all over the house with his fists.

"damn it!"

They didn't realize that Lawrence Hodge had a rope snake on him!

Surprised by the sudden change, Gordon Defoe just took a moment to realize what he had neglected earlier.

However, before he could explain the situation clearly to the two people who suddenly appeared, a huge black shadow fell from the sky, gently grabbed Shi Qi and put him on his back, then picked up Ming Qi and threw him on his back very tangled. On himself, he randomly grabbed Simon and Gordon Defoe with his claws, and then flapped his wings and flew up.

"Sam."

Shi Yan patted the barbarian who grew bigger and grew wings because of the awakening of the dragon's bloodline. Defoe and Lawrence Hodge, who was quickly snatched by Simon, were thrown onto his back.

"This nasty lizard!"

Ming Qi let out a low growl, in exchange for Shi Qi's comforting caress.

Sam seemed to have heard Ming Qi's words, and shook his right wing, causing Ming Qi, who happened to be placed at the junction between the wings and his body, to lose his center of gravity and almost fell from the air.

Of course, Ming Qi was not an ordinary wolf after all. With the help of his hind limbs on Sam's wings, he simply jumped into Shi Yan's arms, and conveniently placed a barrier on Shi Yan's side to block the high-altitude cold wind.

"……what is this?"

Gordon Defoe felt the rising altitude and the cold wind howling in the sky, dumbfounded.

Did they just "swoosh" into the sky?It feels... simply... handsome!

"His name is Sam, and he is a barbarian who returned to his ancestors."

Wasteland savage?Isn't it the big lizards that live in the lolta wasteland?What the hell is atavism?What is the ancestor of the barbarian savage?

"It's a dragon."

Hearing Shi Yan's answer, Gordon Defoe realized that he had spoken the question.But, what about giant dragons... Wait, the ancestors of these large lizards are actually giant dragons?That giant dragon clan that once led the alien beasts to stand side by side with the gods and demons, and was known as the overlord of the sky?He is now sitting on the back of the dragon?

Completely ignoring the great difference between the atavistic wasteland wild beast and the real dragon, Gordon Defoe lay on Sam's back in a daze, touching east and west, feeling his hands. Under the extremely textured scales.This perfect arc, this natural pattern...is a legendary dragon...Gordon Defoe, who was poked to a certain point, didn't have the heart to think about what happened a few seconds ago. There was a certain expression on his face that might be called "idiot".

"grown ups."

Except for being a little scared at the beginning, Simon sat on Sam's back, but he didn't react much.He handed Lawrence Hodge in his arms to Shi Yan.

Shi Yan patted the acupuncture points on his back a few times, and then re-injected witch power into his body to get rid of the toxins in it.

Nata Snake obviously trusted the poison of the rope snake he had chosen for one-hit kills so much that not only did he easily let them snatch away Lawrence Hodge's "corpse", but he didn't fight with Lawrence Hodge. Hodge added another knife on the final touch.That's right, there is no doubt about the poisonousness of the rope snake, not to mention that it bites in such a vital place, even a great witch has no ability to bring the dead back to life.

It's a pity that Nata Snake missed one point, that is, Shi Yan had already guessed about him, or the plan of the mastermind behind the scenes.So when he was pushed away by the trend, through his precise control of witchcraft, he laid an impenetrable but tough enough barrier under Lawrence Hodge's superficial skin.

Lawrence Hodge's previous gray face was intentionally created by him, and it's not that he couldn't immediately expose Nata Snake's "performance".It's just that Shi Yan didn't have enough trust in the mind of Tony Hodge.Since he was trapped in the city of Versailles and was entangled in the life and death of Earl Hodge, he might as well resort to tricks, withdraw from the city of Versailles, and directly draw his salary from the bottom of the pot to avoid the calculations of the people behind the scenes.

It wasn't until Gordon Defoe recovered from Sam and saw the actions of Simon and Shi Yan that he realized something was wrong.

"The previous situation, you have already expected it?"

Ming Qi glanced at him disdainfully. Of course, Gordon Defoe, who once again felt a sense of discrimination from the wolf—although it was said to be the messenger in front of the gods—directly took it as an illusion.

"If it's just to monitor the Lolta Wasteland, with the ability of the Heiman tribe, there is no need to go to great lengths to steal the day and take the risk of pretending to be the lord of Versaette City. Therefore, they must have other calculations for their unnecessary actions."

Fortunately, Sam has a good guy named Simon on his back.He explained to Gordon Defoe, then scratched his head again, and added, "That's what grown-ups say."

"Ahem, this lord is right."

Lawrence Hodge, who woke up after the poison was lifted, stood up and spoke with difficulty. "After more than ten years of layout, what they want is naturally not just to occupy the location of Versailles City."

As early as when he was squeezed out in the imperial capital and finally expelled from Beijing for offending the Temple of Witchcraft and dispatched to the city of Versailles, he had already become a pawn in the game.

Leaving the older two sons in the imperial capital, and only taking the youngest son Tony Hodge with him. His daily words and deeds are the same, but the timing of his appearance is too coincidental, his past history is too innocent, and his loyalty to himself is too late. The inexplicable Nata Henry went to Versailles to take up his post.These choices are just his instinctive defenses.

And during the years when he was the city lord of Versailles, he did not fail to prevent Tony from getting close to that Nata Henry.It's a pity, maybe it's the child's rebellious psychology.The more he was not allowed to get along with Nata Henry, the more Tony liked his Uncle Henry.What's more, he couldn't show his defense against Nata Henry on the bright side.Therefore, he could only watch as Nata Henry deliberately indulged and induced Tony to grow into the kind of playboy he disliked the most.

He originally thought that Nata Henry was His Majesty's man, and he intended to raise Tony just to create a handle that would allow him to submit to some of his not-so-bright orders.Therefore, although I feel a little chilled, as a courtier, I can only turn a blind eye.Anyway, with the threat of his club, Tony couldn't do anything really outrageous.Be a dandy, let's be a dandy, with him, Sean and Daniel, they can always support him for a lifetime.Only when he promised Tony's mother that he would take good care of Tony, he was afraid that he would break the promise...

However, now it seems that maybe he still thinks things are too simple.

With a wry smile, he took the current environment into his eyes, then barely supported his body, and thanked Shiyun.

"Thank you for this—" He looked at Shi Yan's pure black hair, "Your Majesty, for saving my life."

I thought it was just His Majesty's intention to contain the courtiers, and secretly planned to attack the Temple of Witch God, but now it seems that there may be deeper involvement in it.For example, if the person in front of you is Mianxia, ​​then who is the person in the Temple of the Emperor's Witch God?

"Don't thank me."

Shi Yan stroked Ming Qi's back and smiled.

"I think the Earl is also a sensible person."

"I can't be crowned as an 'adult'." Lawrence Hodge waved his hand, and the bitterness on his face became even more bitter. "Lawrence is dull, please ask Your Majesty to clarify my doubts."
