Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Lion's Pupil
A sudden slap in the face made everyone around, and Leo looked back in shock, looking at Gaunt and not knowing what to say. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Astra didn't react for a while, but the hot pain on his face made him stunned, and he immediately shouted in shame: "You actually beat me!?"
Gaunt shook his head, looked at Astra without showing weakness, and asked word by word, "As a royal family... Have you forgotten all about this duty?"
"The L77 royal family has never escaped!"
Astra's lips moved, and she was a little ashamed for a while, but more of it was anger, and she couldn't help but shout: "Then what should I do!? will die, we will die!"
"No!" Gaunt said flatly, and then sighed and said, "I hope Prince Astra can really grow up..."
As he spoke, he looked at Leo, who was silent, and at the same time took off his white gloves, took off a ring and said, "Your Highness Leo, you have gained my approval, this is your power." ”
Leo was stunned for a moment, and instinctively took it, but when he saw the appearance of the ring, he looked up in shock.
The ring is of unknown metal, with a lion's head carved on it, and a red gemstone set underneath, which seems to have a stream of energy circulating in the gem.
"Gaunt... How could you have it?"
The Lion's Pupil, which is not actually Leo's exclusive item, but a symbol of the status of all recognized members of the royal family in the L77 royal family, in fact, on the hand of the Lionheart King Ars, also wears a Lion's Pupil Ring.
Gaunt, however, shook his head with a smile and took off his other glove, which also wore a mottled lion's pupil on his finger.
"The Lion's Eye, a ring that has been passed down from generation to generation in our royal family and symbolizes peace, is not only a symbol of royal status, but also a powerful one. Gaunt looked at Astra, then at Leo and said, "At the beginning, there was a beam of 'light' that was hotter and more brilliant than the sun descended on the L77 nebula and landed on Leon. Where the light passed, it caused a huge disaster, monsters crawled out of the ground, people suffered heavy casualties, and even many members of the royal family were irradiated by this light, and they were all seriously ill, and the entire Leo Star was paralyzed. ”
"It's just that in a moment of crisis, a mysterious giant came to Leon and healed all the royals with a warm light. The king at the time expected that the giants would help L77 put an end to the disaster, drive out the monsters, and bring peace to the two of them. It's just that the giant refused, but he brought us the 'lion's heart'. ”
"The giants tell us that this light is both a disaster and an opportunity... So, under the teachings of the giants, we knocked out the lion's heart and made the 'Lion's Eye'. By wearing the Lion's Eye, you can appear and fight as a giant. ”
Leo asked excitedly, "It's like... Is Father like that!?"
"Yes," Gaunt looked at the two princes and said, "In your body, there is also the inheritance of this light, and you also have the power of sleep!"
Astra listened quietly with guilt on her face, and Leo nodded, "Then why..."
However, this power is not something that all members of the royal family can control, and in the course of hundreds of years of the royal family, some have been addicted to the power and have been enslaved by it, some have resisted this power and have chosen to flee, and some have been unable to withstand this power... Die directly. ”
As he said this, Gaunt had a grief in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.
"Leo, Astra... Only those who have truly grown up, who truly understand the nature of power, can harness this power!"
"Gaunt, you... Was it once royal?" Leo nodded earnestly, then paused, his gaze falling on the ring on Gaunt's hand.
Gunter didn't answer this question, but clenched his fist and hammered his chest hard, saying: "The power of the heart is nothing but violence, but the heart that lacks strength will only feel powerless." ”
"Leo, Astra, you need to understand, you need to be strong, you need to have a heart that is not defeated by any setbacks!"
Astra's lips moved, and she said guiltily, "Gaunt..."
He doesn't have a bad heart, but he is not so mature, and there is a little cowardice in his temperament.
Gaunt apparently knew this, too, and said, "Astra, it's okay... As long as you can grow up, take your own responsibilities, and harness this power. ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh faintly, "It's just a pity... I didn't get a chance to see it. ”
"Leo and Astra, if you haven't really understood the nature of power, don't try to harness the Lion's Pupil... Don't follow in my footsteps!"
Before the two princes could react, the red light immediately filled the bridge, and the majestic energy boiled, like a huge whirlpool, instantly penetrating the starship and sweeping outside.
"Brother... Gaunt... Could it have something to do with the bloody night of the royal family?" Astra looked at the red glowing body outside and guessed.
"What's that?" Leo was a little confused.
Although Astra is cowardly, he is exceptionally intelligent, he likes to collect some books to read, so he said: "We members of the Lionheart royal family, counting me, my brother, my father, my mother... There are only four of them. Does this look like a normal royal makeup?"
Leo was stunned for a moment, he had never thought of this question. Now that he was reminded by Astra, he reacted immediately.
The only royal family in the entire L77 Nebula has only four members... It's extremely impossible to think about it.
"I once heard an old servant say... Originally, there were hundreds of members of the royal family, but in the past 100 years, there have been more and more missing members, crazy members, and members who have died for no reason, resulting in a large-scale shrinkage of the royal family. But even if it is reduced, there are dozens..."
"Just one night, a mad prince almost wiped out all the royal family... At that time, only my father and a few people escaped from the disaster, and this disaster was also the direct cause of my father's attempt to move the capital after he ascended the throne. ”
Leo paused, looked at his brother in astonishment, and asked, "What do you mean..."
Outside the flagship, a red giant is gradually revealing its body.
Leon, royal palace.
It was late at night, but Ars suddenly woke up from his dream, and the ring called the Lion's Pupil was faintly hot. He felt a little uneasy and worried, but Ars didn't know where it came from, and this emotion made it difficult for him to sleep peacefully.
After sitting on the bed for a while, Ars put on his clothes, got up and went out to the balcony, and looked quietly at the bright starlight, and the queen rose to accompany him.
After a while, he felt a little calmer, and smiled and talked to the queen.
However, when I turned my head by coincidence, my pupils shrank...
I saw a meteor streak across the sky, falling into the darkness of nowhere.
