Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Louis: Do you think I still have a chance? Little Swan: You need to pay more!
Feeling the cold touch of Louis’ gauntleted hand, the little swan seemed a bit unaccustomed to his closeness.
After a bit of head shaking, she pouted and said:
"If it weren’t for Sister Wang, I wouldn’t have come."
Completely forgetting that when she was fleeing with a bucket, all she thought about was saving people.
"Yes, yes, I know you came to help me."
"Hmph, it’s good you know, I will graciously accept your thanks!"
"And then, Olivia, I want to talk to you about something."
"Go ahead, His Highness the Prince who survived the disaster."
Louis even took the initiative to massage Olivia’s shoulder.
Having never seen Louis like this in two lifetimes, she snorted and said: "What exactly do you want?"
"First of all, borrowing money is a no-go (afraid you won’t return it)!"
Louis laughed: "I have quite a bit of savings now, no need to borrow, I can even give you some, but I have a request..."
The little swan was shocked.
Oh no! The country of allure doesn’t value money!
No, that’s not right, if the country of allure isn’t greedy, it must want to get more for less money.
She regretted boasting earlier because she was happy and said dryly:
"You go on, I’ll think about it."
"I want you..."
Olivia instantly exploded!
"... to have your maid teach me that technique just now."
The next moment, the little swan was soothed.
She said speechlessly: "You can’t learn it, you don’t have the bloodline of a Sun Elf or Moon Elf."
"Do you need a bloodline for it?"
"Of course, it’s not easy for normal people to mobilize the power of the stars, plus your career level is way different from hers."
Louis, unwilling to give up, asked: "Do I still have a chance?"
The little swan’s eyes rolled, and she said sweetly:
"If you really want to try, I can help you talk to Lumi, but..."
"But?"
"It’ll cost extra! I want 10 Gold Coins."
"Deal!"
Louis and Olivia clapped their palms together.
Olivia: "Without these 10 Gold Coins, the country of allure will surely be in great pain!"
Louis: "Beatrice said the price of exemplary guidance is at least above 15 Gold Coins, haha, a huge gain!"
He remembered that Olivia’s truly clear-headed time was only 10 years.
"Really a child’s temperament... but indeed very cute."
This could save him money, so, thinking of this, his eyes became softer.
Maybe fearing she’d regret it, he added: "It’s settled, pinky promise, a hundred years without change."
Olivia looked confused: "What does that mean?"
"In my hometown, it means keeping promises and commitments."
"Got it." Olivia said coquettishly: "Pinky promise, a hundred years, no change!"
Just then, things changed ahead.
With an ear-piercing roar, the ground surged with earth.
A dragon exuding a gloomy blue light suddenly crawled out of the ground, roaring towards the Royal Guard.
It was a hideous and terrifying dragon.
Its size clearly showed it wasn’t an adult dragon, not even a young one.
But with such a small body, it looked skeletal, making people think it was a bone dragon at first glance.
However, through its shocking, chilling aura, Louis perceived its essence—
It’s the same as the Undead.
Perhaps it should be called an undead dragon?
The skeletal undead dragon flapped its wings, turning into a fierce cold wind, pouncing towards the Royal Guard.
Immediately, someone in the Royal Guard broke off a squad prepared to intercept the juvenile undead dragon.
"No need to go, it means no harm to us."
Lumi, holding crystal twin guns, calmly stated.
The guards were stunned for a moment.
Lumi wasn’t exactly their superior, so they were unsure whether to listen to this woman.
But thinking that she was always by Her Highness Olivia’s side, they realized this person was probably a trusted powerhouse protecting the second princess.
Given this consideration, her judgment was also worth referencing.
Just in the delay of this moment, the juvenile undead dragon was already fighting with the undead, even the Clown King entered its attack range.
"Using pure fighting will to resist the King of the Undead’s control..."
A personal guard seemed to understand something, and said in shock: "Died and yet able to break free of the King of the Undead’s control through sheer will?"
Lumi sighed: "In the time of the Mad King’s activity, such heroes were a rarity."
"Let’s move, Ense’s peace should be reflected with our swords and enemy’s blood, we don’t need to rely on the dead."
The Royal Guard nodded in unison, instantly drawing their weapons to charge.
Though only a hundred-odd people, they charged like a vast army.
The dazzling abilities kept refreshing on these guards.
[Lion’s Roar] brought up their morale!
[White Crow Tactics] made them like a single entity.
[Cover Attack] empowered their mutual cooperation, accompanied with the dust stirred by galloping hooves.
Charge! Charge! Charge!
The Royal Guard no longer engaged in mid-range battles of attrition, but charged directly forward.
A gruesome and bloody saga began.
Meanwhile.
While fighting the young zombie dragon and scattered undead, he noticed something unusual about Alice beside him.
Her teeth were chattering, her body trembling.
It wasn’t fear, but rather...
The joy of finally avenging a great feud.
When she looked up again, her gaze was like a frost blade in the winter, cold and piercing, making it impossible for anyone to meet her eyes.
Louis said nothing, taking the pebble handed to him by Limuru and placing it on the sling.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
A sudden gust of wind disturbed the surrounding tranquility.
And Alice had already reached the zombie dragon, her expression as fierce as a hellhound:
"After killing so many of my comrades in the past, do you also feel anger at the desecration of life?"
The blade rose, iron hooves splattered!
Eyes like torches, the blade like a cold star!
In an upward slash and downward chop, the murderous aura was overwhelming, making one’s hair stand on end.
Instantly, human and dragon were locked in fierce combat.
Suddenly.
With a boom.
A pebble, like a cannonball shot from the mouth of a cannon, exploded on the zombie dragon.
It was Louis’s meteor throw!
Following closely was William’s magic of harm transfer and physical enhancement covering Alice.
Alice glanced at the two of them.
Louis continued shaking the sling calmly.
William also moved forward, ready to protect her.
Alice said no more, just turned her head and fought again.
The young zombie dragon, as if enraged, tangled with Alice.
A heated battle raged on for over a dozen minutes.
Finally, Louis noticed Alice’s standstill with the zombie dragon and decisively sent the barely-rested Limuru back onto the sling.
The windmill creaked and squeaked!
Limuru: Σ(O_O;)
Louis: "Be good, after this battle, I’ll take you for a good meal."
"Anyway, I heard the White Tower and Alchemy Association already have stocks, rounding up to equivalently getting them for free."
If Limuru could talk, it would definitely shout "I’m having such a hard time."
But now it was too late to shout.
Soaring high, falling heavily.
The giant slime takes the stage!
"What else can I do, just have to pamper the master."
Limuru felt a bit helpless.
"Hmm? Is that the taste of Mom?!"
Limuru charged excitedly.
I freaking eat, eat, eat, eat!
Limuru’s craving got the better of it!
After a bloody battle.
All undead on the field were wiped out, even the Clown King was ground to death.
And on Alice’s side.
With the sincere cooperation of Louis and others, she delivered a critical blow.
With just this one strike, it pierced its head.
Alice stumbled back a few steps, glaring at this nemesis she loathed so deeply.
The zombie dragon slowly raised its head.
Their eyes met.
Her heart was shaken.
—For its gaze was remarkably clear.
Alice’s expression twisted: "...What expression is that? If you lose, you should be like a dog that lost its home, showing your regret!"
But the zombie dragon just lay quietly on the ground, one could vaguely see it seemed to be smiling.
As if this thrilling battle had fulfilled its wishes.
And thus, its life force dissipated.
"What a joke..."
Alice whispered.
Why did it accept death so calmly?
Clearly she had won, yet Alice felt a bit unsatisfied.
However, she ultimately saved that past self from years ago.
It was at this moment that her gloom completely disappeared.
Alice, advanced to Celestial Punishment Sword Level 10!
"Limuru, eat it up."
Limuru, swaying, jumped directly onto the zombie dragon, feasting on it.
"It’s the taste from memory!"
It was so delicious it nearly cried!
