Chapter 3: The Man Who Hates Me

A magnificent castle complex in the Baroque style. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It covers an area that is almost unmatched by 20 football stadiums on an international scale.

It is said that when the palace began to expand in the third year of the new calendar, it was necessary to collect a whole million people from all over the kingdom to complete it within two months stipulated by the Grand Duke.

It is said that it was in this way of cash-for-work that the Grand Duke turned the large wealth plundered and collected during the war into a real driving force, feeding the entire 300,000 families and 1.2 million people who were destroyed after the war, and at the same time boosting the economic and political strength of the entire kingdom......

The outer castle, with its dark gold accents, tightly encloses the central palace of Kasia.

The Outer Minister's Residence, decorated in silver and grey, is located halfway between the royal palace and the castle.

In the center, there is a central palace formed by the horns of three luxurious and sturdy palaces, and the one on the left is the "Tuan Palace" where the famous Grand Duke of Cassia lived, known as the "God Contempt".

Unlike the royal palaces of various countries at this time, the central palace of the Kasia Palace was surrounded by dense castles to protect the royal family, so it was a luxurious palace with luxury, extravagance, and security as the supplement.

The new royal city of Kasia, called "Zur", means: treasure.

Zuer City is the most beautiful, prosperous and largest royal city in the hearts of the people of the world.

At this moment, in the side palace of the royal palace, the open-air temple on the highest floor of the Tu'an Palace, the luxurious dark red hundred-meter silk carpet was spread on the floor, extending straight to the highest throne, and it was empty.

Along the silk red carpet, in front of the five-meter-high right wall, there are statues of the gods of the heavens, Zeus, the father of the gods with lightning in his hand, Apollo, the sun god with an olive branch, and Venus, the god of beauty who comes from the waves...... They are all lifelike, like real people, and it is said that these statues have been given aura by the gods, and they can be used as intermediaries to communicate with Mount Olympus.

On the right wall, there are oil portraits of members of the royal family of Cassia I: Marquis Nanali, the Marquis of Nanali, holding the most of the Constitution in her hand, carrying a golden holy sword at her waist, looking down on the world with compassion, and Cassia VIII: Duke of Bavark, the first monarch to strive to raise the family title to duke, he wears a bishop's uniform with red robes, a silver armor with gold trim, and a sword in his hand to kill the demon soldiers of the pagan darkness, and at the end of the position, there is a portrait of the Grand Duke before the war with a particularly magnificent background-

It was His Royal Highness Lunanty, Grand Duke of Cassia, who turned the tide when the country was ruined, not only restored the royal status and inherited the scepter, but also led the army to the capital, and achieved the status of the "king" of the country of Cassia with absolute superiority.

And it is such a grand duke who is considered ambitious in the eyes of the whole world, including the gods, but decided to withdraw from the struggle for the throne at the last moment, and then became the most benevolent, generous, and humble monarch in the eyes of the people of the world in one fell swoop - although I don't know where this view comes from, Luo Zi still readily accepted it.

But at this time, the heir to the ruler and the ideal monarch recognized by the people of the whole world was lying motionless on the cold bed, his eyebrows tightly closed, unconscious......

……

"How long has he been like this?"

The open-air shrine of Tu'an Palace is decorated without other decorations, everything is very streamlined, except for the statues and portraits of various gods, only the fluttering transparent white gauze curtain remains, indicating purity and piety - this handwriting, from the hands of Luo Zi, who has always been ungodly, is famous: "Atonement." ”

(Do you believe it?)

A woman wearing an off-the-shoulder sleeveless long dress with shoulder straps walked through layers of hazy white veil, revealing a palm-sized face wearing a gold half-face mask, and the only exposed chin and lips were very seductive, the red lips, the contours of the face, how could the word be exquisite......?

"His Highness Artemis. ”

The one who came was the well-known and hated Grand Duke of Cassia, His Royal Highness the Moon Goddess Artemis.

The guards who only knelt before the royal family in front of others knelt down one by one, the one at the head was not wearing armor, but a simple robe, and cloth shoes (sandals), and a leaf-shaped gold hairpin was sandwiched between his left sideburns, and his face should have been very delicate, but the hideous scar on the right that cut straight from his forehead to his lips ruined this beauty, and the centipede-like scar has been his representative since that night.

Everyone in the royal city knows that this is the "gun" of the Grand Duke!

"Your Highness Artemis, it has been five days since the day it was time to wake up. The gun did not kneel, he only knelt to his master, but he did not dare to look up at Artemis, but replied with his head bowed.

Artemis didn't speak, didn't get them to their feet, didn't ask anything else, she stepped forward gently, stopped beside Lu's makeshift bed, looked at the sleeping Lunanty for a long time, and suddenly involuntarily reached out to Lu's face......

"Ahem. Seeing Artemis approaching his master's bed, but he didn't speak for a long time, he hesitated and raised his eyes slightly, and happened to see this scene, and hurriedly suppressed his throat and coughed lightly to stop Artemis's movements.

They can't.

Hearing this voice suddenly, Artemis seemed to be awakened by fright, and glanced at his slender hand in the air, and a touch of sadness flashed in his beautiful gray-green eyes, but the hand was withdrawn as if nothing happened.

"Did you find anything?" Artemis said in a faint tone, as if the people lying on the bed were just ordinary people.

"We traced the soul and there was no accident, but ......" remembered something, the gun's brow furrowed, "but the master always walked back and forth around the line, as if ......"

"It's like a tourist who has forgotten his way home. Artemis continued with the gun.

"Yes, Your Highness. The gun bowed his head and nodded respectfully.

Artemis took a deep look at the gun in front of him, who looked very respectful with his head down, and then looked back deeply at the sleeping Lu, who was silent for a long time.

"What is missing other than the extra tooth spirit (wisdom tooth gums) of the three-headed dog of hell raised by Hades?"

Artemis seemed to have made a heavy decision, looking at Lu's affectionate gaze gradually becoming serious, and a touch of reluctance appeared in the depths of his eyes.

"The scales of the tail tip of the mermaid princess of the Aegean Sea, and the tentacles of the beasts of the depths. Others, such as the ovaries behind the human-faced spider, the frontal feather of the nocturnal eight-winged goldfinch, and the viviparous outer bones of the mandible of the golden winged liger, have been fully collected. Gun said in a tone of some anxiety and guilt.

"Okay, what he wants, I'll definitely bring it back, don't forget, he owes me. Artemis gave Lu one last look, then walked away without looking back, promising as he went.

Even though I should have used all my strength to hate him......

As he moved away from everyone's sight, a crystal tear slid down his face.

Artemis vanished the moment he walked through the white veil that fluttered in the wind.

The tears that should have fallen on the marble slab were suspended in front of the gun, and the index finger of the gun's right hand was flexed and flicked lightly, and the crystal tears flew towards Lu who was lying on the cold ice bed, and finally fell on the lips (human beings) and disappeared.

But Lu's pale complexion quickly regained its rosiness and health.

The gun looked at the face of the master Lu on the bed for a long time, and finally sighed with a gloomy look in his eyes, hoping that the master would not blame himself too much when he woke up.

There is also a medicine primer.

The last, and most important, and most difficult to obtain, is a temporary primer for the patient's life.

True, powerful, tears of the goddess.

Artemis, on the other hand, is the authentic goddess of the hunt, the goddess of the moon, and one of the twelve main gods of Olympus.

Her tears were most useful......

She loves her master.
