Chapter 19: The Ho Siblings
(To add, the desert and Gobi mentioned here and later in the article refer to the kind of inhospitable land that can have a small amount of vegetation and a lot of rocks, not the kind of pure desert.) Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info)
Without waiting for Kester to ask, He Ling'er kept snorting the carved flesh in her mouth with a bitter little face: "Oh my God, why is it already scorched on the outside, but it is still raw on the inside!" ”
Kester shrugged helplessly: "I haven't tasted it yet, I haven't cooked with a gale." Now I have nothing to eat, so I have to settle for it. As he spoke, he tore a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. As expected, it was unusually unpalatable. Kester swallowed through the nausea in his heart, knowing that if he didn't eat again, he would faint from hunger. Feeling the strange burnt taste in his mouth mixed with the taste of the monster's body, Kester couldn't help but miss the days when he walked with the mercenaries before.
"You can really eat..."He Ling'er swallowed her saliva, but her stomach was too hungry, compared with Kester, her cooking skills were estimated to be half a catty, and He Ling'er could only reluctantly tear a piece of meat off the carved leg in her hand and put it in her mouth tremblingly. Fortunately, after being mentally prepared this time, He Ling'er finally didn't vomit, but her face was even more ugly than eating bitter melon.
"By the way, why did you go to such a desolate place and be chased by the Gale Eagle?" After eating a few bites of the special barbecue, Kester, who was barely full, suppressed the feeling of wanting to vomit and asked. "Children your age shouldn't be on the fence."
"This... We..."He Ling'er's eyes were hesitant.
"Okay, Ling'er, let's talk about it." He Lilan, who was on the side, didn't know when he had woken up, and he took He Ling'er's words and said: "Although our background is very sensitive, we shouldn't hide it from our savior. My name is He Lilan, and she is my sister He Ling'er. After speaking, he took a gale eagle wing from He Ling'er and took a bite, and then the second half of his sentence was directly choked back by the strange smell of barbecue in his mouth.
"What's your last name? Are you the Duke of Heaven...? "No wonder Kester thinks so, the most famous Terran boy with a sensitive identity and surname He is probably only the famous Duke He Tianchou's missing children.
Duke He Tianchou is one of the "Eight Princes of Acewell" selected by the mercenary capital Loxel last year, and his own prestige and popularity have been high all year round.
The Eighth Prince of Acewell is a special identity that the Mercenary Guild has been selecting since 10,000 years ago, just like the top ten beauties in the continent, just a nominal title. But its gold content is indeed very high, and the basic criterion for selection is to have at least a baronial title, which does not refer to the kind of country baron, but an orthodox hereditary baron. The nobles who can become the eighth prince of Acewell are all public figures whose popularity and prestige have reached the peak, and they are difficult to find faulty. However, unlike the top ten beauties that change every year, the eighth son of Acewell is only selected once every ten years, and its moisture is less, after all, the eyes of the masses are bright, and it may be difficult to say who is beautiful among the two beauties, but it is a real thing who wins the hearts of the two nobles.
As one of the eight sons of Acewell, Duke He Tianchou seems to be a perfect man, and his reputation among the human race is simply skyrocketing. Even if he can't learn martial arts, magic and magic because of his physique, even if he is over thirty years old, and his children are already in their teens, even if he usually hardly smiles at anyone, he is still the dream lover of many young girls. Kester had even heard the gossip that the elven queen Lorna had shown favor to He Tianchou.
But it is such an elegant man who can become the focus of attention wherever he goes, but I don't know what kind of stalk he encountered, and his children were kidnapped a month ago! After receiving the news of the robbers, Duke He Tianchou went alone to redeem his children despite the dissuasion of everyone around him, but there was no news of him. It wasn't until the day before the alliance of the Six Clans attacked the Kingdom of Heaven that Kester learned the news of He Tianchou's death from Mo Ya's mouth. At that time, Mo Ya drank wine and sighed: "From now on, there is one less person worthy of admiration on the continent. ”
"Father... It's the Duke—" He Lilan sighed, "It's all because of us, and my father came back to us from a safe place... He could have left..."
Kester patted He Lilan's shoulder, signaling him not to rush and speak slowly.
"Most people think that my father was killed by kidnappers, but only we know that this is Chu Pofeng's conspiracy!" He Lilan clenched her fists.
He Tianchou's death turned out to be a cat! Although Kester is a wing clan, he is also very shocked by this, you must know that the matter of doing something to the eighth prince of Acewell has not happened for thousands of years, if the matter is really how far from what Lan said, once it is revealed, it will deal a devastating blow to Chu Pofeng's reputation. It can be said that among the human race, the identity of the deceased Duke He Tianchou is not inferior to that of the human emperor Chu Pofeng.
He Lilan didn't stop his narration: "Father has long known Chu Pofeng's thoughts about his desire to get rid of him, because his reputation is too high, which makes Chu Pofeng jealous of the old aristocratic forces. But my father didn't want to cause the division of the human race because of his own reasons, so he kept avoiding Chu Pofeng. A month ago, Chu Pofeng hired the Dark Hand, the largest killer organization in Eswell, to carry out a large-scale assassination of his father, but the news leaked, and his father escaped early. Originally, he was safe, but it was all my fault, it was precisely because we were captured by the hand of darkness that my father had to go to the meeting alone in order to save us, and finally..."
Pity the hearts of the parents in the world, Kester sighed: "Mourning, not long ago, my father also stood up to save my helpless brother, and he did not abandon my young brother until the end. ”
He Lilan raised his head and glanced at Kester, and the two looked at each other speechlessly. After the silence, He Lilan continued: "I can't imagine that you are also sick with us, eldest brother, and I don't know your name." ”
"My name is Ye Lingyun, anyway, there are probably not many people in this world who remember me, but how did you escape in the end?" It's not that Kester can't trust the He Lilan brothers and sisters, it's just that his identity is probably more sensitive than them, and it is better for fewer people to know.
Hearing this question, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of He Lilan's mouth, and he said something that surprised Kester.
