bad, i'm a fool

Simeng's fairy gifts consist of three pieces, the Yunpo Sword, the Xuanji Plate, and the Double Ninth Crown.

According to Huang Zigao, these three celestial gifts should be the descendants of Ayu God of Taka who left in Simeng, in order to give a country like Simeng a hope of producing gods, so as not to be lost by the god Ayu. Taka rulers brutally suppressed.

Although I don’t know how God Ayu made the rules, it seems that the Taka rulers after him did not invade other countries. This is incredible, but it also allows other countries to continue to exist.

However, this kind of existence can't last long, and there must be many puppets like Gascon of the Catholic Church.

If Gascohen is the puppet of Prince Taka Yu, then the second prince Gao who helped Grand Duke Tilda fight against the church obviously also regards Tilda and Han Dongwen as his puppets.

Regarding this point, Han Dongwen didn't think there was any problem - it would be better to say that he had a thigh that he could occasionally hug, and a protective umbrella that was sometimes ineffective.

Now it seems that Gu Ya is also included under this protective umbrella, and that armpit is the best proof.

"The Emerald King's Court..."

Han Dongwen silently recited this familiar word, his eyes scanning back and forth to Gu Ya who was lying peacefully sleeping in front of him.

Her condition has stabilized a lot, her breathing has become smooth and gentle, the skin like jade fat on her body has no scars, and in the cold whiteness, she can vaguely see blood vessels with dark red light shining slightly on the back of her hands.

Han Dongwen took a deep breath, and gently placed the back of his hand on Gu Ya's skin, feeling the burning pain from the lower body temperature.

This feeling is exactly the same as when he first sparred with Gu Ya in Blood Harbor, and that's how he felt about the spell called Rust Fire.

The rust fire should belong to Gu Ya's own power, but what about the Double Ninth Crown?

The Double Ninth Crown is not here, is it hidden in Gu Ya's body in some form, or was it left on the battlefield in Huishui Bay?
If it is left on the battlefield, the officers and soldiers of the Jingbu are cleaning up the battlefield at this moment. If it falls into the hands of the Jingbu, it will be a great loss to Han Dongwen.

"I have to find time to go back to the palace, and I will hand it over to the No. [-] machine..."

Han Dongwen had already tried to switch the Youshen of the No. [-] machine before. Fortunately, this function did not seem to be affected, and he was still able to switch between his body and the No. [-] machine.

At this moment, Han Dongwen, as "His Royal Highness", was reviewing the Jingbu's battle reports in the study of the Li Palace—most of them were victory reports. It seemed that the defense was smooth and proper.

As for the casualties of one's own side and civilians, they are all still being counted, and it is temporarily unknown.

If the No. [-] machine hadn't seen the hell-like scene of a sea of ​​blood in Huishui Bay, His Royal Highness, who never left the palace, would have no way of knowing how tragic and dangerous the battle was being fought right under his nose.

"Um……"

When Han Dongwen was thinking, Gu Ya suddenly let out a slightly uncomfortable hum, and uttered a few vague sentences without specific meaning.

"Dreaming? At least there is nothing wrong with my mind."

He glanced at Gu Ya, only to realize that the usual Gu Ya's aura has always been strong.

Now that she had calmed down, Han Dongwen realized that she was not tall and fierce. If the scar on her face hadn't added a bit of viciousness to her, she would have been no different from an ordinary girl.

"Saint, is that Tilda's replacement..."

Looking at Gu Ya's sleeping face, Han Dongwen sighed.

"It is indeed a perfect fit for the unselected saint to go to Blood Harbor."

He looked at the debuff in his status bar that he had been worried about.

[Status: Cursed by Flesh]
The power of the Tali family has always been bestowed by the gods to protect the saint. The will to sacrifice one's life as a shield is not always noble, and the body is inseparable from the saint.

(The blessing of Temperance Knight makes you bear 50% of the damage suffered by the saint, and 50% of the damage you suffer is also transferred to the saint)
(Target: Quaint)

From Han Dongwen's understanding, this state can be summed up in a simple sentence.

Grasshopper bound into a rope forcibly.

This state is called a curse. For Odu, the temperance knight, the word curse is extremely appropriate. Odu's life is bound to Tilda, which can almost be regarded as the version of the Principality of West Asia's version of the Bronze Sparrow Seal, to put an end to him possibility of mutiny.

But compared with the Bronze Sparrow Seal, this curse not only applies the damage suffered by Tilda to Odu, but also applies the damage suffered by Odu to Tilda, which is much worse in comparison.

The key to the question is whether this negative state will affect Han Dongwen himself, or will it only affect the first machine itself as a human puppet?

If it's the latter, then it doesn't matter at all, as long as there is no problem with the Yunpo sword, if the first machine fails, there will be a second machine, a third machine, and so on.

Thinking of this, Han Dongwen turned his head to look at Gu Ya, who was half asleep and half awake. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and patted the wall slightly, knocking off a small piece of broken brick and breaking out a sharp corner.

He rubbed the sharp corners with his fingers, and after feeling the sharpness, he turned around and pressed the brick gently against Gu Ya's shoulder, exerting a little force with his fingertips.

A trace of deep red came from Gu Ya's fair skin, and at the same time, Han Dongwen clearly felt a tingling pain on his shoulder.

This is not His Highness, but the first machine, and the first machine feels the pain.

He immediately checked the log details of the No. [-] machine, and as expected, there was a slight damage caused by the curse of the flesh.

"Fortunately, it's on the No. [-] fuselage..."

Before Han Dongwen finished muttering, he suddenly felt a pain in his wrist.

Looking down, Gu Ya's hand had already tightly grasped Han Dongwen's wrist.

"you……!"

Gu Ya, who didn't know when she woke up, had already clenched Han Dongwen's wrist extremely tightly, but because her body was still very weak, she still couldn't be considered strong.

This sudden grab surprised Han Dongwen, but after realizing that Gu Ya had no strength, he stabilized his mind slightly.

"you're awake?"

Gu Ya, who was lying there, stared at Han Dongwen with fierce eyes, took a few heavy breaths, and said slowly:
"...what about things?"

"what?"

Han Dongwen was stunned, and bent slightly, trying to hear what Gu Ya mumbled clearly.

However, just as soon as he lowered his head, Gu Ya suddenly stood up and pressed his head hard against Han Dongwen's chin.

This is to stun him!

Han Dongwen turned his head abruptly, but it was too late to react, his chin was hit firmly by Gu Ya's forehead.

"Boom!"

He was staggered by the force, almost lost his balance and took a few steps back.

"Are you still so strong?"

Han Dongwen rubbed his chin, and was about to look up at Gu Ya, only to find that she gritted her teeth and knelt on the platform where she had been lying flat for a few seconds.

Han Dongwen froze for a moment, then suddenly realized.

The No. [-] machine was not knocked into a coma, but Gu Ya...was also hurt by the curse?
