after being forced to become a heartthrob

I don't know if it has something to do with the perfume, but the relationship between the princess and the king is much closer.It can be seen from the fact that the king handed over the god-sacrificing ceremony that was previously entrusted to Hillman to the concubine.

The princess also enjoyed this process very much. At the beginning of the ceremony, she changed into a gorgeous dress, her bare arms were covered with golden divine patterns, and walked up the steps from the raging fires burning on both sides of the road.As a priest, Wen Rao naturally appeared as an accompaniment in this ceremony.

The maids of the temple chanted blessing spells below, and the princess who presided over the event stretched out her arms on the stage and made a gesture of blessing.

To be honest, she really has the demeanor of an empress.When Wen Rao stood behind the princess, he thought of this for a moment.

The ritual of offering sacrifices to the gods is a very ancient ritual. In addition to Nurian, other countries will also burn a part of the surplus grain in the harvest autumn to sacrifice to the worshiping gods, praying for the same in the next year.According to the procedure of the ceremony, the princess completed the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods. When she left the civilians kneeling on the ground to pray and got on the elephant cart back to the palace, the princess couldn't help being excited and said gently, "This is the first time I've presided over a ceremony. Nulian's ceremony, in the past, the king let Hillman preside over such a ceremony."

Wen Rao sensed the princess's dissatisfaction with Hillman when she said this, "The king handed over the power to you this time, which means that the person he trusts most now is you."

The princess was happy for a moment because of his words, but immediately thought of something and became depressed, "He is just worried that when he is in power, his son will take away his power."

It is true, so in the history books, many emperors favored women more than their sons when they were old.

The princess subconsciously reached out to touch her flat stomach, and sighed, "It would be great if I also had a son."

Wen Rao coughed, and then he remembered that the princess seemed to have never given birth to a child.Although the king of Nurian is not like the ancient emperors he knew, he married a lot of women, but it is strange that most of these women never gave birth to him. Half female.So far, Nurian has only three princes, "Is the king's body okay recently?"

"It's much better than before." The princess said, "This is also thanks to the flowers picked by the priest."

"As long as there is nothing wrong with the king's health, the status of the princess in the palace will always be higher than that of Hillman." After all, the stepmother is also a mother.

The princess shook her head, "My lord, you don't know—the king is very old, even if he gets better now, he won't be able to last long. By then, Hillman will be able to inherit the entire Nurian, and I will continue to There is no chance."

Wen Rao is also worried about this matter. He originally wanted to leave before Hillman succeeded to the throne, but now he has experienced some things and found that if he leaves the palace and loses the protection of the royal army, his experience outside may be even worse. Some, after all, this is a world full of wars and wars.

"No, princess, you still have a chance."

"Even if I can conceive a child now, it's too late." The princess obviously misunderstood Wen Rao's meaning.

Wen Rao is determined to get on the princess' boat, "It's not about your child, it's about yourself."

"I..." Wang Hao stared at Wen Rao, "Master Priest, I don't understand what you mean."

Wen Rao saw that the princess had no fighting spirit in front of Hillman, and looked negative and lonely. He wanted to grab her shoulder and shake it a few times. "What I mean is, you can sit on the throne by yourself."

The princess was startled by his words.

Wen Rao also knew that the loss in front of him was the concubine who was obsessed with him. If it was someone else, he might go to the king to sue and arrest him. He moved closer and lowered his voice, "God and I, will help you."

At this moment, the elephant car stopped suddenly, and the gold ornaments hanging on the wall of the car made a crisp sound due to the shaking and collision.

Someone lifted the curtain of the car and told the princess and the priest who were sitting in the elephant car that they had arrived at the palace.Wen Rao got out of the car first, and after he stood on the ground, he looked back at the princess sitting inside, and smiled at her, "If you think about it, you can come to the temple to find me at any time." After saying this With that, Wen Rao pulled up his hood and walked into the palace.

……

Wen Rao originally thought that the princess would think about it for a long time. After all, in the history of Nurian, no woman has ever held the royal power. It would probably take a month for most people to struggle psychologically.But the princess is not an ordinary person, she gave a gentle reply that day.As a prerequisite for formal cooperation, Wen Rao gave her some magic props.The princess also took off the gemstone ring that symbolized her identity and handed it to Wen Rao.

Wen Rao knew that this kind of thing should belong to the category of keepsake, anyway, he didn't dare to wear it on his body openly, so he tied a rope around his neck and hid it in the priest's robe.

"If I can master Nurian, my lord priest, I want to be with you—" Because of Wen Rao's method of preserving the ring, the princess's mind started to stir again.

"Hush." ​​Wen Rao really wants to cooperate with the princess, but let's cooperate, friends will always last longer than lovers, "If you can master Nurian, then I will still be the priest here." In order to avoid this When he stabbed the heart of his allies, Wen Rao added, "Only protect your priests."

The concubine's legs were so weak that she almost couldn't stand and snuggled into his arms, but fortunately she took a step back with a quick reaction, "Princess, it's getting late, go back early."

The unsuccessful princess glanced at him sadly, turned her head and left.

Seeing the princess walking away, Wen Rao breathed a sigh of relief.It's also due to the concubine, if it were someone else, who would discuss the great cause of seeking power with him, an important person who has no power and no power.

Just when Wen Rao was about to return to the temple, he suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps.In order to keep it secret, he specially set the place where he talked with the princess in a corner of the palace where few people pass by.This place is also really remote, separated by a wall is the street outside the palace.

"Get him! Get that wizard!"

When Wen Rao heard the wizard, he took a step back before taking a step.

There seemed to be a fierce chase outside the city wall. Wen Rao boarded the city wall and overlooked a group of soldiers chasing a man in black robe.As soon as the man ran past the wall, he was stopped by a figure who jumped down.The saber at the man's waist was out of its sheath, and stopped in front of the fleeing 'wizard'.

"Prince Ares!"

As the soldier's voice fell to the ground, Wen Rao also saw clearly that the person in civilian clothes who just jumped off was none other than Ares, who was sent by Hillman to patrol the streets.

Ares' saber was already on the wizard's neck.The soldiers surrounded and surrounded the wizard.

When the wizard was escorted and knelt on the ground, Ares put away his saber and asked, "What's going on?"

"Prince Ares, he's a wizard!"

When Ares heard that he was a wizard, he frowned, and reached out to lift the black hood that covered his face.Under the hood was a childish face.

Ares has never seen a wizard, but he was still surprised because of his immature face, "Wizard?"

"Yes, a few months ago, he claimed to have picked up a wizard's magic book, and spread around that he knew wizard's magic." The soldiers were still vigilant, and the knives they drew did not take back. Curse, it is very likely that he did it!"

"No, it's not me!" The boy who was grabbed by his arm and pressed to the ground shook his head in denial.

Ares looked at the red eyeballs embroidered on his black robe and said, "Then why are you wearing a wizard's robe?"

Everything related to the wizard is evil and will be burned. The young man seemed to know the fate he was about to face, and after being unable to argue, he lowered his head deeply and began to cry.

"Burn him!"

"Burn this wizard!" Some of the soldiers who hated wizards said so.

Just when Ares was about to let the soldiers take him back, a voice suddenly came from the city wall above his head, "The curse of the spring has nothing to do with him." The real murderer has been plucked by him and locked in a box in reflection.

Ares raised his head when he heard the voice, and when he saw the figure standing on the city wall and the snow-white hair illuminated by the moon, his expression relaxed a lot, "Why are you here, sir?"

When the other soldiers heard that they were priests, they lowered their peeping eyes.

The city wall was a bit high, and Wen Rao didn't dare to jump off, so he just stood on it, looking down at the people below with a lofty attitude.To be honest, this feeling is quite cool...

Ares looked up at him. He was not in the palace during this period of time. According to the princess, he was rebellious since he was a child, and he liked to mingle with the common people in the market. Look at the clothes he is wearing now tenderly. The clothes are so plain that they can't be more plain, you know that the princess really didn't deliberately belittle him.

"You said that the curse of the spring has nothing to do with him, but he is a wizard, is that true?"

Thanks to that strange-looking wizard, Wen Rao really felt that this childish boy had nothing to do with wizards at first glance, "He's not a wizard."

Ares pulled up the black robe worn by the young man, showing the red eyeball on his chest, "But he is indeed wearing a wizard's clothes."

Just when Wen Rao retreated a little bit, the boy started crying, "Master Priest, help me!"

The voice was so sharp that it almost knocked Wen Rao headlong.

Because of his sudden struggle, several soldiers grabbed him even tighter.Ares put one hand on his waist, and looked at Wen Rao standing on the city wall with a smile on his face, "If the priest can't produce evidence, I will take him away."

Gentle, "..."

After waiting for about 3 minutes, before Wen Rao could speak again, Ares left with the soldiers escorting the boy.Wen Rao also walked down from the city wall. To be honest, this matter has nothing to do with him at all. He really doesn't need to stand out. The reason why he said that just now was because he was told that he was going to be burned to death. Resist to say it.But in fact, if what he did was discovered, he would be the next to be burned to death.

Just when Wen Rao was about to forget about it, he overheard A Nuo talking about it the next day.

Because Nurian has not caught a wizard yet, the wizard caught by Ares this time will be burned at the stake in front of the people.If Wen Rao hadn't seen that young man on the city wall last night, he wouldn't have felt any burden, but because he had heard the other party's heart-piercing cry for help, when he heard A Nuo say it, he suddenly hit him A thrill.

"Is it burning at the stake?"

"Yes, it is said that only the fire can fully purify a place from the curse that a sorcerer has brought upon it."

Wen Rao's heart beat a drum, "Is he really a wizard?"

Arnold seemed to be caught by his question, because the wizard's curse was too terrifying, and some civilians who were said to be "slaves of the wizard" would also be punished as wizards. The term 'wizard' covers a much wider range than priests.

"He's wearing a wizard's robe, even if he's not a wizard..." Arnold's voice suddenly stopped, "My lord, where are you going?"

Wen Rao went to the place where the execution of the fire was carried out. Among the punishments of Nurian, the fire was much more serious than the hanging, so the fire place had been vacant for a long time.When Wen Rao arrived, he saw the boy in the wizard's robe tied up on the altar, with a high pile of firewood piled up under his feet. The firewood had already been lit, and the flames had already licked the wizard's robe.The boy who was being burned by the fire cried out in pain.

It's not that Wen Rao has never seen dead people, nor has he killed people before, but those are all clean, and when he shoots down, at most he will hear a scream.Now that young man was tied to the altar, screaming continuously full of pain, it hurt everyone's nerves.

"Stop!" Probably knowing that a stop would be useless at this time, so Wen Rao lifted the hood while saying this.

"My lord—" The civilians who were watching recognized him.

Some soldiers also saluted him one after another.

Hillman, who was in charge of the burning, was sitting under the awning. Because of his arrival, he stood up involuntarily.

"Stop the fire torture—put out the fire!" Wen Rao really couldn't bear to hear the continuous screams that seemed to be tormenting Ling Chi's nerves.

Hillman unexpectedly didn't stop him at this time. He waited until the soldiers poured water to extinguish the fire before he questioned, "My lord priest, what are you doing?"

The boy who was tied to the altar had burns of varying degrees on his body. Even if the flames on the bottom of his feet were extinguished, he still looked pitiful.

"The curse of the spring was not done by him."

Hillman was startled for a moment before continuing, "But he is a wizard."

The young man tied to the altar weakly begged for help from Wen Rao standing in front of him, "Help me, Lord Priest—"

Wen Rao, who had already been blocked by this sentence once, blurted out somehow because of his weak cry for help, "He's not a wizard!"

"Who can prove it?"

Gentle, "God can prove it."

The entire fire execution ground suddenly fell silent, and Hillman stood up, confronting the priest.He never believed in any gods, which was the most ridiculous thing for him, so when he heard Wen Rao say this, he couldn't help but sarcastically retorted, "Then let God save him .”
