Du Shen watched as Teresa and Megan walked up to him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Teresa was still holding Megan's hand: "Du Shen, you give the pendant to Sister Megan." ”

"Let's talk about it first," Du Shen looked very reluctant, "just take a look! The pendant still belongs to me." ”

"Hurry up," Teresa urged angrily, "don't worry, the pendant is still yours." No one is going to rob you!"

After getting Teresa's assurance, Du Shen put his hand into his arms. He pulled out the silver-white pendant and clung to the chain near the pendant. Du Shen stretched out his hand in front of Meghan so that the other party could see the ring pendant hanging under the palm.

Megan looked at it a few times, and suddenly frowned, very puzzled: "Why did ......the color change?"

"Sister Megan," Teresa interrupted suddenly and loudly, dragging Megan around and walking out the door, "Let's find a place, I have something to tell you." ”

Du Shen watched the two of them walk out of the door. He thought about it and hung the pendant directly around his neck. He thought to himself, "It seems that Teresa has long known about the changes in the pendant. She is now pulling Megan to look at the pendant together. Does she want me to try that bloodline identification ritual?"

According to Teresa's earlier description, Du Shen pondered and speculated all afternoon, and had not yet determined the reason why the girl could not pass the identification. He couldn't help but think about it again.

After pondering for a moment, Du Shen was suddenly stunned. He forgot that he still had a portable grandfather "Shadow". Although Du Shen believes that the old man he met suffers from Alzheimer's disease, he doesn't know every time he asks. But Du Shen still plans to try again. He sank his mind into the pendant and communicated with the shadow.

In the hallway, Teresa finds a vacant guest room and pulls Megan through the door. She turned and closed the door.

"Teresa", Meghan seemed to be unhappy and confused, and her tone was extremely unkind, "Are you sure that the pendant you just let me see is the one you have inherited?"

As a descendant of Shadowkeep, Megan naturally knows what the Crescent Moon Pendant looks like. However, compared to Garrison, the relationship between the Ring of Stars and the Shadow Dragon Family is another layer apart.

At this time, Megan was faintly shaken. She remembered Elder Pugel's accusations against Teressa. At this moment, Meghan couldn't help but suspect that Teresa might really be just a daring liar.

"Yes," Teresa explained to herself, "because Du Shen's blood stuck to the pendant ......"

Teresa explained in detail how Du Shen obtained the pendant and the significance of the change in the pendant. Among them, of course, includes Garrison's speculation and endorsements.

Despite hearing that it was Garrison who deduced that Du Shen was a descendant of Shadowkeep, Megan was still skeptical.

Teresa was aware of it, but was still immersed in expounding her thoughts: "So, since Du Shen is also a descendant of Shadow Keep, I want Du Shen to perform a ritual as well. ”

"This ......" Meghan nodded in agreement, thinking that the ceremony didn't cost resources. Megan had difficulty accepting the change in Du Shen's identity for a while. She wandered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Teresa, that is to say, you have long believed that Du Shen is likely to be your blood relative, and he is also the heir of Shadow Castle?"

"Yes!" Teresa nodded inexplicably.

Meghan suddenly brightened, and her evaluation of Teresa changed instantly. Previously, because of Teresa's attitude towards Du Shen, Megan couldn't help but think that Teresa was credulous and weak. At this time, after knowing that there was an inside story, Meghan's negative views on the girl dissipated most of them.

Du Shen stayed in the castle for a while. Because of Du Shen's "accidental injury", the members of the Ring of Stars certainly couldn't like him. However, under Megan's reminder, the people of Star Ring did not want to lose the etiquette of hospitality. Revenge is one thing, mistreatment of guests is another. So Du Shen lived quite well in the castle.

Du Shen questioned Meghan about Star Ring's attitude early on. Meghan changed the subject bluntly and prevaricated once. Du Shen then asked to meet with all the elders and re-hold the bloodline identification ceremony. Megan readily agreed.

After days of waiting, most of the upper echelons of the Star Ring reunited at their base camp. That evening, after dinner, Du Shen and Teresa were invited to attend a secret meeting of the Star Ring's higher-ups.

The secret meeting took place in the basement of the castle. Du Shen followed Megan into the room and found that there were already many people sitting in the secret room. Perhaps because the size of the secret room is not large, and the number of participants in the meeting is relatively large, there is only a small table in the secret room, which is placed in front of the main seat. Others' seats leaned against the wall, encircling most of the room.

The seats of Du Shen and the two stood side by side, close to the main seat, far away from the others.

Regarding the entry of Du Shen and the others, the elders in the secret room had almost no reaction. They either continued to whisper together, or played with their objects alone, or kept their eyes closed.

Du Shen and Teresa sat down. An elder came in at the door. Soon, someone closed the door. Seeing that the seats in the room were almost full, and Meghan had taken the main seat early. Du Shen thought the meeting would start soon. Who would have thought, he waited silently for a long time. Megan didn't say a word, and the others were also absent-minded.

Du Shen waited for a while, and couldn't help but ask Megan loudly: "Ms. Megan, why don't you start yet?"

Before Megan could speak, an elder below responded loudly: "What's the panic?

Du Shen followed the guidance of the two elders, and sure enough, he saw that there was a chair in the corner that was still empty.

Several elders spoke out one after another, perhaps to explain, or to pass the time out of boredom: "Pugel hasn't come yet! That old thing is the slowest every time." ”

"I can't blame him. His position was originally going to run around. The farthest away from the Sanctuary. ”

"I heard that there is a problem with the caravan? I guess he's busy solving it. ”

After a few shouts, silence returned to the chamber. Du Shen waited silently. He secretly identified the elders below based on Teresa's earlier description.

Time passed slowly, Du Shen estimated, at least fifteen minutes had passed. He said loudly to Megan again, "Lady Megan, it's been a long time. Elder Pugel, perhaps there is something important to delay. Can't we start first?"

Megan nodded, about to speak. Suddenly, there was a screeching sound of friction in the door of the chamber.

The door opened, and a slightly stocky figure stood in the doorway. Pugel smiled and bowed slightly to Megan: "I'm sorry, Star Lord." Because of the caravan, several nobles had to pull me to drink. I managed to get out and get here. ”

Megan frowned slightly, but there was not much anger. Pugel is not usually like this, not only does he obey her, but he is never late. Megan estimated that it was because of the presence of Du Shen and Teresa that Pugel deliberately behaved like this.

"Take a seat first," Meghan said with a cold face, "everyone has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Thank you, Star Lord, for your magnanimity. Pugel bowed with a smirk and turned to close the door. He glanced around and strode over to the spare chair.

"Stop!" suddenly rang out in the room. Without waiting for Pugel to take two steps, Du Shen yelled loudly: "Get out of here!"

Du Shen's roar was so loud that it seemed to explode thunder. Pugel and the other individual elders shuddered.

"You ......" Pugel turned around stiffly, facing Du Shen, his face becoming more and more ugly. Not only because of Du Shen's rude scolding, but also because he was so frightened that he made a fool of himself in front of everyone.

"You ......" Pugel seemed incredulous, his eyes widening in disbelief, "what are you talking about?

"Mr. Pugel," Du Shen stood up, showing a bit of politeness, "didn't you hear clearly?

"Bastard," Pugel's round face flushed instantly, and he seemed to be so angry that he was incoherent, "you...... Why? What right do you have to yell at me? Bastard, you're yelling at me...... Damn, I'm going to kill you!"

As he spoke, Pugel stretched out his hands and was about to rush towards Du Shen.

Megan slammed the table: "Shut up! Stop!" The loud bang and Megan's roar not only blocked the sound that the elders were about to make, but also recalled Pugel's sanity. Pugel finally stopped in time and didn't fight with Du Shen.

"Du Shen," Megan's face was extremely ugly, "you are too rude." As a guest, how can you ......?"

"Guest," Du Shen laughed twice, "When did the master of the Shadow Castle become a guest in the Ring of Stars? Could it be that you have long since left the Shadow Castle? You are no longer the personal guard of the Shadow Castle?"

Megan was speechless for a moment.

Du Shen walked slowly towards Pugel, with a sneer on his face: "Pugel, what qualifications do you have to make His Highness Teresa wait? Who do you think you are? Now, please get out of here!"

"Bastard," Pugel agitated again, "what right do you have to reprimand me?"

"Smack!" Du Shen had already walked up to Pugel. He waved his hand and slapped Pugel's round face crisply: "Miscellaneous!

"Ah......h Pugel began to perform his best sorcery: "I'm going to kill you!"

"Uh......" Pugel made a strange noise. His neck was strangled by Du Shen. Because of the pain and lack of oxygen, Pugel's witchcraft failed to build a whole.

"Du Shen!" the two women's cries rang out one after another. Teresa completely forgot about Du Shen's previous advice to keep her silent. She got up and stretched out her right arm: "Stop!"

Megan also got up, and she suddenly turned to urge Teressa: "Teressa, let Du Shen let go!"

Du Shen firmly grabbed Pugel's neck and lifted it slightly off the ground. He turned to face Teressa, very solemn: "Teressa, you are the master of the Shadow Castle and the monarch I follow. Remember, you are representing not only yourself, but also subordinates like me who are pinning their futures on you. As a monarch, you don't deserve to be humiliated. In the same way, as subordinates, we will never allow you to be insulted. ”

Du Shen became slightly excited, revealing deep hatred: "This miscellaneous crumb, with no respect and humility, not only deliberately despises you, but even wants to expel you. I must defend your dignity with his blood!"
