"Your Highness, you are injured!" Amber was distraught. The prince of Solstice was attacked in Mondstadt. Those fanatical fools and subordinates will definitely make Mondstadt restless. If it is serious, it may even develop into a diplomatic incident. In addition, after experiencing the close contact with Yulong Fei, she also had a good impression of Su Yu, so when she saw Su Yu injured, she was more anxious than anyone else. Amber decided to take Su Yu and return to Mondstadt for treatment urgently. "Actually, it's nothing. Miss Amber, there's no need to worry so much." "You are now our distinguished guest in Mondstadt. Since you are a guest, you must obey the master's arrangements." Amber said with her hands on her hips and her chest puffed out. Then, regardless of whether Su Yu agreed or not, he took his other arm, opened the wings of wind, and glide high into the sky. Chapter 26 Curse
"I'm going back first, Lord Wolf King." Keli no longer calls Andrius by his first name, but uses his honorific title. "By the way, please don't tell anyone what happened to Keli today. It's my secret." Looking back on my past self, who was arrogant and domineering due to my family background and young age, I feel more and more that that is wrong. Andrius said happily: "Kelly has finally grown up." "Leize, I'll come see you next time." After Keli left, densely packed wolves emerged one after another from the grass surrounding Benlang's leader. They have been lurking around, waiting for Lei Ze's order to attack the intruders. "Blood, golden..." Lei Ze was still immersed in uneasiness. "My child, the blood of Lord Barbatos is also golden. Although Prince Solstice is not the Seven Earthly Rulers, he has the strength to rival the Seven Gods." "God, you were bitten by me..." "You want to ask, why can you bite a god? Logically speaking, the body of a god is stronger than the demon god, but the Prince of Winter seems unwilling to use his divine power to protect his body. It may be a way to avoid wear and tear. way." Andrius also couldn't understand it, but he was deeply moved. "Apart from the title of Prince of Winter, he is old enough to be you and Keli's brother. Such a young god is the first in the history of Teyvat." "Perhaps he can really help the Ice Queen and fulfill her long-cherished wish to resist the law of heaven. However, I probably can't wait for that day to come. The future world will be dominated by young people like you." Andrius took out the ray of thunder element and told Lei Ze its origin. At the same time, he warned: "My child, the power of my residual soul is getting weaker every day. Before I completely disappear from this world, , you must refine it." "This is a great fortune and opportunity given to you by Prince Zhi Dong. You must seize this opportunity, do you understand?" With tears in his eyes, Lei Ze hugged Andrius' neck.
"I will protect you, Lupika!" …… The main city of Mondstadt. Amber brought Su Yu down from the sky, and a group of white pigeons on the bridge across the river were frightened and flew away. "Finally back. Your Highness, let's go to the West Wind Church first." So, Su Yu, a big man, was dragged to the church by Amber. West Wind Church, the largest and oldest church in Mondstadt. After bringing the person, Amber went to find the priest. Su Yu sat on a chair in the church and took a nap, while sensing the location of the Sky Piano. Unfortunately, nothing was found. That Barbatos guy even hid his weapons. Is the prince of the solstice a robber, making you so wary? With this in mind, Amber walked out of the inner room with a priest. She was wearing a priest's dress, with a church Bible slung around her waist, with an Eye of God with the element of water inlaid on it. Two beige-brown long ponytails were coiled in a spiral shape, hanging naturally on both sides of the half-exposed shoulders; her legs were covered with traditional long white stockings worn by priests, and a pair of high-heeled leather shoes were worn on her feet. She always has a sweet smile on her face, giving people a vibrant and energetic girlish look. The sound is also so sweet and pleasant—— "Barbara, come on shine, leave the treatment to me, I won't let you down!" The person who came was none other than the Prayer Priest Barbara of the Knights of the West Wind. "This is the prince from Solstice." Amber introduced her. "Although the Fools have a bad reputation in Mondstadt, and the arrival of the Solstice Mission has kept my sister busy for days and nights without a good rest, but I will not be prejudiced against anyone from Solstice. Since I have come to treat If you are sick, you are a sick person, and I will treat them equally." Barbara's sister is Jean, they are sisters. Her elder sister is the leader of the Knights of the West Wind, and her younger sister, Barbara, was not good at swordsmanship, so she finally chose to work in logistics. The position of prayer priest best suited her wishes. "Miss Barbara, nice to meet you." Barbara smiled in greeting, leaned over and began to clean Su Yu's wounds. The moment she opened Su Yu's sleeves, she took two steps back and almost screamed. Amber, who was helping at the side, also looked at Su Yu's exposed arms with an incredible expression.
When running towards the Wolf Leader, Amber couldn't see Su Yu's arms because they were separated by Su Yu's sleeves. At this time, she finally saw—— There was not a single piece of intact skin on the entire arm, as if it had been scorched by fire. The skin is wrinkled, chapped, dry, and twisted. But if it were just this, it wouldn't surprise Barbara, who had seen many patients. A dark, decaying aura suddenly flowed through the meridians of Su Yu's arms, which was strange and terrifying. "Oh my god...this is the power of a curse!" There was also the second half of the sentence that Barbara couldn't easily say. Carrying such a heavy curse, it is simply a medical miracle that the Winter Prince can survive to this could deduce that Prince Winter's arms were not only stained by the curse, but his whole body was probably filled with the power of the curse. There was once a brave member of the Knights of the West Wind. While performing a mission, he was accidentally contaminated by a curse the size of a fingernail. In the end, he was tortured by the power of the curse and bit his tongue to commit suicide. That kind of severe pain and mental torture is enough to crush anyone's mental will. Amber disagreed with her point of view and said: "Prince Solstice purified the curse from Tevalin's body. He should also be able to purify the curse from himself." So, she thinks it's not a curse, but maybe some other power. "It is indeed a curse. However, it is not an ordinary curse, but a curse from heaven." Su Yu didn't want to think back on the hunt three years ago. Heaven had imposed the most vicious curse on him. Later, with the help of the system, he was able to suppress the worsening of the curse and barely managed to save his life. But only with power comparable to the laws of heaven can this curse be completely eradicated. Su Yu is still unable to achieve that, and can only endure the torture of thousands of arrows piercing his heart every day, and experience the pain of being shattered into pieces every day. A simple explanation was given to satisfy the curiosity of the two girls. But when he finished explaining, the two women's mood became complicated. Heavenly principles, supreme, seem illusory, yet within reach. Because the seven earthly rulers are agents of heavenly principles. The seven kingdoms of Teyvat are a pattern divided by heavenly principles. The people of the Seven Kingdoms can even be said to be the people of heaven. The curse from heaven cannot be purified even by the gods. It is no wonder that the Prince of Winter will take the lead in resisting heaven. This episode made Amber and Barbara begin to understand Su Yu's position. There is a little more respect for this prince of the solstice. How strong does a man's willpower need to be to endure the pain caused by the curse every day? Such a strong will and quality are unique in the history of Teyvat! But at the same time, the two girls looked at Su Yu's calm expression and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"Miss Amber, Miss Barbara, sympathy is an emotion that I usually use to pity my enemies. The consequence of abusing sympathy is that when you really want to sympathize with others, it will backfire." While treating the wound, Barbara asked: "Your Highness, do you have any enemies in the winter? I heard that you are deeply favored by Her Majesty the Queen. She will not send you to fight on the front line." Amber also wants to know the answer to this question. To her, this Winter Prince was simply a mysterious man that she couldn't help but want to understand. Chapter 27 Su Yu sat upright on the chair. His back is straight, his body is strong, and he has a tough guy style. This is especially obvious compared to Mond's men who advocate feminine looks. "You really want to know? If you know the answer, you might regret asking me." Amber smiled and said: "How could it be possible? We are all curious about His Highness's experience. You don't know that the legendary story about you becoming a prince in three years is also spread in Mondstadt. "Three years ago, I was still very weak..." Su Yu opened his trousers and pointed at his knee: "This sword came from the assassin of Winter Kingdom. At that time, the whole leg was cut off, so I killed the assassin and found [Doctor] with the severed leg. The leg was later saved. , but the assassin’s poison invaded the nerves and tissues. It took another half a year to completely remove the toxin.” "[Dr.] An executive with such superb medical skills has been treating you for half a year. Is this toxin very powerful?" Barbara asked. "The toxin comes from a demon god who died in the winter. My enemies in the winter extracted the toxin from the demon god's corpse and used it specifically for assassination." In the continent of Teyvat, any toxin that has something to do with the devil is definitely the top poison. After becoming a prayer priest, Barbara became aware of these taboo things. Historical records record that there were gods in Teyvat who were poisoned by evil demons with magic potions. "Your Highness, your prestige in Winter is unmatched. How could someone assassinate you?" Barbara then asked. "The two laws I reformed in Solstice harmed the core interests of the slave-owning class." "What kind of law is it about?" “The first is to abolish slavery, and the second is to prohibit human trafficking.” Barbara didn't know much about Solstice's situation and couldn't hear the stakes involved. On the other hand, Amber, who was on the side, had read relevant content in the information about the Knights of the West Wind. The Zhidong Empire used to be a slave country. Slave owners controlled many slaves, including local farmers in Zhidong and people from other six countries through human traffickers. The fate of those slaves was miserable. They were sold as commodities. Men were sent to mines and farmlands to work hard, and women were sold to taverns for the entertainment of the wealthy. Three years ago, Zhi Dong suddenly carried out unprecedented reforms, abolishing slavery and strictly prohibiting human trafficking. This message is regarded by the outside world as a huge progress for Zhi Dong, and also marks the beginning of Zhi Dong's strength.
It turns out that the hero behind the scenes is actually Prince Zhi Dong. Looking at Su Yu again, Amber felt more admiration and admiration in her heart. The growth history of this Winter Prince is far more legendary than the rumors outside. The history of his fortune can be described in four words: magnificent. "Your Highness, what happened next? Did you seek revenge from those slave owners?"
