News of the return of the Griffon's Shield soon swept through the royal capital of Lothar. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although the sudden rainstorm and the long scorching heat have brought great inconvenience to the lives and work of many people, they have not caused the slightest obstacle to the spread of gossip, especially the spread of this rare gossip.

In less than a day, everyone knew that the "Griffon's Shield", a badge representing the highest glory of Lothar, appeared at the Griffon's Inn last night, but compared to this famous badge, his owner seemed to be unknown, and for a while everyone had different opinions about what the owner of the "Griffon's Shield" was.

"He's a fat man. This is the most widely recognized and widely circulated description.

"He's an aristocrat. "That's nonsense, staying at the Griffon's Inn and having the Griffon's Shield is certainly a noble.

Some say he's a particularly powerful warrior who once defeated a dragon with his bare hands, some say he's a mysterious magician who can quietly breathe people's minds, and some even say he can eat a whole cow in one meal, and I don't know why everyone cares about this.

And everyone said that he had made great contributions to Lothar, but no one could say what great achievements this fat man had.

Only some of the older ones can recall from the depths of their memories the name of the owner of the griffon's shield, Pike Callander, and then recall that when the boy was a little child, and that there was an even younger brother who was still eating snot (the venerable Majesty the Former King, who was then a "beloved" prince), the two of them made the king so mad that there was not a day of rest, and a whole series of "glorious deeds" could be told for three days and three nights.

Even if that kid entered the academy later, he could get a "big news" back from time to time. It wasn't until he joined the army later (he was arrested by his father to fill the army) that he converged a lot, and I heard that it was smooth sailing in the army, and his position rose all the way, but then he had a big event, and since then he has disappeared, and then he gradually faded out of the gossip circle of the residents of the royal capital.

These descriptions arouse people's curiosity even more.

So from the next morning, the front of the griffin inn was crowded with all kinds of idle onlookers, and the inn had to let the guards appear to maintain order, but the initiator, Baron Pike, had already taken Merlin over the roof over the two arched bridges and slipped around a busy city.

"Daddy, why are you so familiar with these paths?" asked Morin, who had long since lost his sense of direction.

"This neighborhood hasn't changed much from before. Pike replied, and skillfully led the boy from a corner where no one was around.

"Then how did you become so familiar with these paths before?" asked Merlin.

"I used to be a big man, and the city trembled when I stomped my feet, so naturally I knew everything......"

"But how do I feel like these lines are used to escape for your life......"

"Ahem, what do you know, it's not because I always brought a little brother with a fart, if it weren't for my little brother who did everything to hold me back, and I would have to wipe his ass in trouble, where would I use these routes......"

"Daddy, you still have a little brother?"

"That's right, it scares you to say it!" Pike boasted, leading Morin to leap silently from under the eaves to a courtyard full of flowers, all planted in stone-carved pots, which bloomed in full bloom during the season, apparently deliberately cultivated.

"Shhhh......h

Then, under Morin's stunned gaze, Pike used his magic power to bring a large bouquet of colorful flowers, and at the same time, the stone carved flower pots actually lit up with magic lines, probably some protective magic enchantment, but the baron didn't care, and pulled the bouquet in his hand with a forceful pull.

Apparently such a violent act provoked a reaction from the magical enchantment, and a loud alarm bell rang out from the courtyard.

"Run!" cried the baron, taking the bouquet of flowers and leading the boy over the wall and fleeing.

Regardless of whether anyone was chasing him or not, Pike took the boy all the way to the city gate and slowed down. I don't know how his chubby figure shuttles freely between the streets and alleys without any fireworks, Rao is boy from childhood to adulthood from time to time at the request of his grandfather to come down to a town morning exercise, at this time he almost lost the pace of the baron.

Finally stopped, he finally had time to take a few breaths: "Old, dad, what are you doing, that's a flower specially cultivated by someone......, right?

"Who let them plant flowers in the temple of life, and they have to fence it with a courtyard wall, and besides, these flowers are so delicious, but they don't sell them......" said Pike pulled a petal from the bouquet in his arms and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times and sighed: "After so many years, this flower still smells familiar......"

Hearing that the courtyard just now actually belonged to the Temple of Life, Mo Lin almost didn't catch his breath.

He hurriedly looked around, and didn't find the person who came to arrest the two of them, so he breathed a sigh of relief, Dad actually took himself to steal (rob) the flowers planted in the temple in broad daylight, how does this feel so much like the tricksters ball of the Tricksters Alliance.

If Senior Mike knew about a talent like Daddy, he would probably be happy to fool him into joining the Troublemaker Alliance.

"I said, Dad, where are we going? You said that whoever took me around the royal capital, you can't keep running around on other people's eaves......, right?"

"Let's go to the Fallen Leaf Valley outside the city first," said Pike, with a solemn look on his face:

"I should have gone there first. ”

He took the young man and walked out of the city without hurrying or slowing.

The Valley of Fallen Leaves is a small valley located not far from the royal capital, and many people of Lothar know this small valley because it is the cemetery of the royal family of Lothar and the burial place of the members of the Victor family.

Merlin followed the baron all the way, and his spirits were a little sluggish.

He was tired from the airship journey for several days, but he couldn't bear the things that he couldn't bear to hold back, and he talked to his father in detail about the dawn in the hotel last night, and then he slept for a while.

Because the Baron first explained that he was being watched by the law enforcement team, Maureen went on to tell about his experience. The boy recounted his experience in detail, starting from being kidnapped by the vicious-looking old man in White City last summer, to being lured by Faith to the magical enchantment outside the academy before the end of the semester, and the end of the fate of Faith and the mysterious black shadow, until the appearance of Raymond, the captain of law enforcement.

The boy spoke in a thrilling manner, and Pike couldn't help but shout when he heard it.

For a while, he called this cult called the Eyes of the Past sinister, and he didn't even let go of a little kid like Morin, and then he cursed loudly at the beard of the head of their academy, Fielding, saying that he had never heard this old guy do anything that could be seen, and now he couldn't even find out that there were cultists in the professor, and it was time to retire.

However, upon hearing Master Ed Warrende, Pike asked a few questions with concern.

It seems that the baron was not surprised to know that Ed was seriously injured and not dead, but when he heard that he had agreed to take Morin as a student, and that the pale and wriggling air currents and broken body had not recovered, the baron still looked a little sad, and told the boy to study with Ed seriously when he returned.

As for Aunt Alice, who was inexplicably extraordinary, the baron also reluctantly said that it was good to follow Master Ed's wishes.

Pike also said that Ed, Raymond and Morin's grandfather, Andre, were close friends, so even if he was put on the watch list of the law enforcement team, the bear-like captain Raymond did not bother him too much, but hastily sent people to look at him occasionally to deal with errands, and although the law enforcement team had a transcendent status, they also had to comply with the decisions of the Holy Alliance Council.

Even if the decision didn't seem reasonable to Raymond.

Maureen also inquired about his grandfather's whereabouts, but the baron said that he would wait until he returned to Harriet Harbor about the old man's affairs, including Blackie's strange behavior and the boy's bubble space, the "Maureen Calland's magic puddle".

It seemed that Pike already knew something, and actually believed the boy's words at once, the little puddle of magic that even the boy himself found incredible, but said that he would wait until he returned to Harriet Harbor to talk about it in detail.

"That's right, Daddy. Morin, who was following behind, suddenly remembered something else.

"What's wrong?" asked the baron.

"When I reported to Iluvita, I found out that my name wasn't on this year's admission list...... the teenager said leisurely.

“…… Huh?"

"I found out that Iluvita's records show that I was admitted in the year of the White Wolf, in the year of the Quaternary Age, in the year 838, but how do I remember that you said last year that you sent me to the Academy of Magic?"

"Oops......" Pike said embarrassedly, "it's not like you were young, and I didn't tell you a lot of things because I couldn't tell you clearly." ”

"Actually, when you were born, the vision of Furui Chengxiang fell from the sky, it was quite a momentum, and there happened to be a big man passing by our door and was amazed, and the big man thought that you were talented and would be a great thing in the future, so he decided to admit you to the Iluvita School of Magic. The baron said nonsense:

"Of course, it was also in my rhetoric, no, it was agreed with my sincere plea. ”

Mo Lin pouted when he heard this, and he had to say that his father's ability to tell nonsense was really superb, anyway, the boy couldn't tell when he was telling the truth and when he was telling a lie.

As the two spoke, they had come to the entrance of the Fallen Leaf Valley.

In Toddell, the deceased will return to the embrace of the moon god, so there is no such thing as disturbing the sleep of the dead, but it is necessary to respect the deceased. The reason why most civilians don't like the dead is not because they think it will disturb the deceased's eternal sleep, and no one can disturb the soul that returns to the embrace of the moon god, but because they think that this kind of magic is disrespectful to the deceased. Even in order to avoid being called as the deceased one day, cremation is practiced in some places.

Therefore, even the cemetery of the royal family is open to the public all year round, and as long as you have a respectful heart, you can enter it, and the soldiers will not stop it. In the small valley of fallen leaves, a waist-high grove encloses a cemetery, in which the grass is green and green, and a white stone path winds and turns, and small tombstones can be faintly seen under the shade of the trees.

The small white flowers in the grass swayed gently in the breeze, and some unknown small insects flew leisurely around.

It's as quiet as a song in the woods on a summer night.

Pike and Morin walked to the entrance of the cemetery and were about to enter, but they were stopped by the guards armed with long axes on both sides: "Fallen Leaf Valley is temporarily closed today. ”

"Huh?" Pike froze.

When did the Fallen Leaf Valley change its rules, the baron thought, and was about to speak, when suddenly a young male voice came from the depths of the cemetery: "It's okay, let them in." ”

The guards then stepped away and nodded to Pike and Morin, signaling for them to pass.

Hearing the sound from the cemetery, Pike was stunned for a moment, and slowly walked in with Morin.

"Daddy, shouldn't you come back next month if you want to pay homage to the former king?" asked Morin later, although the baron had rarely mentioned it when he was at home before, the boy also knew that Lothar's nightmare occurred on the first day of July, and according to Lothar's custom, it was usually the same day to remember the deceased.

"There will be too many people coming here next month, and besides, it's good to come here once. Pike sighed.

He looked at the surrounding bushes, and led the boy to turn two corners, and came to a small lush meadow, in the center of which stood two small stone monuments, and in front of the stone monument stood a young man.

"This should be the person who spoke earlier. Maureen thought, he felt that this young man was in his twenties, not as young as Professor Anna Koo looked, but really young. There was no vicissitudes of time in his eyes, but he looked very majestic, with black hair and black eyes, and he was wearing a solemn dark green robe, somewhat like a magician.

But I don't know what the identity of this person is, and the soldiers just now all obeyed his orders.

Pike looked at the young man, was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, "Is this it?"

This question was for the young man.

The young man nodded, silently stepped aside, and gave way to the place in front of the tombstones on both sides.

A complicated smile crossed Pike's lips as he led Merlin to the tombstone.

"When you came here with me, you sniffled and said that this meadow was sunny, and that you could get the sun every day, and that you would choose this land in the future," Pike whispered, "I didn't expect you to end up buried here." ”

He put the bouquet in his hand in front of the stone tablet on the left, and smiled: "This is our favorite petal to chew at that time, but big brother, I just slipped from the flower garden of the temple, and the taste of this flower has not changed at all after so many years, but it is a pity that you have gone to sleep in the arms of the moon god." ”

"How could I have thought of it," he muttered a little annoyed, "I wiped your nose for all those years, took you to dig holes in the walls of the roof, beat you with knives, and suffered the gold coins you were punished by confinement, but I never thought that I would never be able to get them back......"

Listening to the baron's voice, there was actually a hint of sadness, and Morin was also a little sad.

He had almost never seen Papa Pike really sad, and though he could sometimes feel the scars hidden under Daddy's gaze that would not heal, he never really showed it.

The boy looked down at the names on the two stone tablets, Eloy, and Jaenerys.

Dead kings and queens are buried here.
