15. Chapter 15

The Clara River is not far from the borders of the Golden Lion, and it is more than enough to reach the royal city of St. Antis overnight. However, the movement of the army crossing must not be small, and it is easy to alarm the people in other towns, so Osvid and the others chose to take a long detour, and finally it took twice as long to reach the Ugin Hanging Palace, and it was already late the next night.

Although the Golden Lion Kingdom has long since ceased to be glorious, the shadow of its former prosperity can still be seen from the majestic palace.

This is probably one of the most peculiar terrain in the north of the continent, the land is like a giant pillar supporting the umbrella surface, each with its own height, connected by a wide and long horizontal bridge ropeway, because it is too old to be examined, it is called the road of the gods.

And the Ugin Hanging Palace rests on the highest pillar of the Divine Path.

The iron hinges rattled, and the gate of the hanging palace was slowly lowered.

Instead of entering, the Ugin Iron Cavalry turned their horses' heads and kicked and tapped onto the cableway on the left, where their legion's base camp was attached. The Hanging Palace Guards trotted out in line, stood on both sides of the gate, and "snapped" together, startling Kevin sleepy.

His Excellency Fassbinder, who is not afraid of death, is always calm and calm, even if he is chained to the flagpole to show the public, he will not change his nature. Osvid had planned to put him down in the middle of the trip, but when he dismounted, he found that the ancestor had no intention of reflecting at all, and had already fallen asleep.

He was not completely defenseless in his sleep, and when he heard Osveld approaching, he lifted half of his eyelids and glanced at him, and after confirming that he was safe, he fell asleep again, and made Osveld angry, and simply set off for a long time before he was removed from the flagpole.

I don't know why, Osvid's teeth itched when he saw his "it doesn't matter, you don't have a problem with me anyway", although he knew that this was Kevin's nature, and he didn't mean to be angry with anyone. Probably because of the sequelae of being walked as a dog when he was a child, or the instinct of a competitive male, he couldn't help but use all kinds of means to suppress Kevin, just wanted Kevin to be soft, but this ancestor didn't take this kind of suppression seriously at all, and always recruited cats and dogs to fight back.

He himself is used to not thinking that there is a problem, but in the eyes of others, it really looks like a provocation.

"Your Majesty, then I'll go back to the camp first." Mio tugged at the reins and said at Osveld.

The Bronze Army's base camp is opposite the Ugin Iron Cavalry, connected to the pillar by another ropeway, and the stars are lit up in the night, where Kevin used to live. But when it comes to living, it doesn't last long at all. Most of the time, the Bronze Army was stationed at the junction of the western part of the Golden Lion Kingdom and the desert, and only during the rainy season could they return to the royal city to rest for a while.

When Kevin heard Mio say this, he also relaxed and echoed: "Then I'll too-"

"What are you?" Osvid glanced at him and said lukewarmly, "Your Excellency hasn't opened your eyes all the way, you should have slept enough now, right?" ”

Kevin didn't care: "Let's talk about whether I sleep or not, I'll settle down first." Mio, are there any empty bunks in the camp? ”

He certainly wouldn't expect a place to be reserved for a "commander who had been dead for years", but there must still be a place to sleep.

Miao nodded, and before he could speak, he was cut off by Osvid. He raised his chin at the open palace door and said, "Settle down and say, take the punishment first, come with me." After saying that, he tugged on the reins and rode the vulture into the gate of the Hanging Palace.

Kevin shrugged his shoulders at Mio, motioned for him to go first, and then drove the vulture to catch up with Osveld, and said angrily, "...... Isn't it the end of the penalty to take me all the way around like a kite? ”

The structure of the Ugin Hanging Palace is magnificent and complex, the periphery is mostly a place for guards, the middle is a banquet hall and a castle for handling official affairs, and the innermost layer is the emperor's residence.

They dismounted in front of the third high gate. Osvid tossed the reins to the guards who followed, pointed to the two figures behind Kevin, and said, "Give these two little imps a temporary place to stay, and don't let them run away." ”

Ben and the White Rabbit Boy glanced at Kevin innocently, and followed the guards step by step.

"What about me?" Kevin asked, somewhat amusedly, waiting to see what else Osveld could punish.

"You—" As soon as Osvid spoke, he heard a "snapping" of footsteps running out of it, sounding quite cheerful.

When Kevin heard this, he turned around, and saw a little girl no taller than his legs rolling over like a grenade, rushing straight towards Osveld, and before he could reach the front, he had already opened her arms like lotus roots, and chirped like a bird in her mouth, looking like she was crazy with joy.

Osvid bent down, picked her up with one hand when she ran in front of her, and said with a straight face: "Why haven't you slept so late, don't think about growing up like this!" ”

Although the young emperor is handsome and compelling, he is still very fierce when he frowns, and it is not a problem to cry a little ghost. But this little girl, who looked like four or five years old, was not afraid of him at all, and hugged his neck to "chirp".

Osveld snorted, turned his head and said in disgust: "Fool me again." ”

The little girl giggled.

Osvid: "......"

As soon as he turned his head, he just met Kevin, who was holding his arms and watching the excitement, and saw the other party pick his chin, and said, "The children are so old, if I remember correctly, you are only twenty-one, right?" It's not like being a father before you are an adult. I didn't see it, but it was quite powerful. ”

Oswald: "......" fart.

If someone else said this, Auswidli would not have paid attention to it. Of course, few people dare to ask such words in such a tone. But Kevin teased him like this, and he couldn't help but want to clean up this person and make him owe so much every day!

And what do you mean by not seeing?!

Osveld strode forward with the little girl in his arms, and said to the chamberlain on the side as he walked: "Find out the imperial code in my study, prepare the pen and paper, watch His Excellency Fassbinder copy it, and copy all the parts about court etiquette and the emperor's power fifty times, without missing a word." ”

Kevin's eyes darkened: "......" The code is so thick that it can kill a cow.

It seems that it was not in vain to let him learn etiquette again...... You have such a good memory, does your mother know?!

*****

Reluctantly, Kevin followed the chamberlain through the corridor and stopped in front of a heavy bronze door.

"Don't be stupid at the door, copy it quickly, I'll check it later." Osveld Road.

Kevin: "......" don't you sleep?

It's a pity that Osveld ignored him, and after finishing speaking, he walked around him with a handsome face, and walked into the front corridor without saying a word. It didn't take long to hear a door being pushed open around the corner, making a soft creak.

The chamberlain opened the bronze door and made a "please" gesture to Kevin. Kevin shook his head helplessly and followed him through the door.

The study was very magnificently furnished, with heavy copper cabinets nailed to the ceiling on three walls, each of which was stuffed with heavy books and stacks of parchments, full of them, beautifully bound and neatly arranged, and you could tell at a glance that they had not been turned over.

It's all pretending!

Only the stacks of books on the table are really useful, and you can see the signs of frequent reading.

Kevin suspected that the chamberlains were more familiar than Osveld with the books on the bronze cabinets. The young man swept around cursoryly, quickly pulled out the codex, which was thicker than a brick, respectfully rested it on the table, laid out the pen and paper, and then silently withdrew to the door.

"Etiquette and Imperial Power ......" Kevin sighed, sat down at his desk, and raised his hand to open the Codex.

The table of contents made Kevin's liver hurt, and the content of the two parts was more than 100 pages, and he could copy it from this year to next year fifty times. Kevin held his chin in one hand, lazily flipped through a few pages, and then closed the book again with a "snap".

Whoever copies is stupid.

He picked up the tome and walked out of the study, and turned into the corridor.

The door of the first room on the left hand was open, and Oswald's deep voice peeked through the room with the warm yellow light, "...... The god raised his golden longbow and nailed the rebel to the pillar with a sharp arrow forged of light, and the blood poured out, the undead - Fassbinder? What are you doing here? ”

Kevin was about to knock on the door and took his hand back and said, "Come and discuss something with you." ”

Osvid: "Come in." ”

Kevin walked into the room and saw Osvid sitting on the edge of the bed with a book no thinner than the Codex in his hand. The pretty little girl was lying on the bed, her dark eyes wide open, staring at Kevin curiously.

"It's—" Kevin raised an eyebrow.

The little girl replied, "Uncle Ao is reading me a bedtime story." ”

She probably didn't know much about Oswald's name, so she reduced it to a single word.

"Uncle?" Kevin paused for a moment.

"Hmm." For some reason, Osveld didn't seem to want to mention it, so he just answered dryly and brought it over. He probably felt that it was a bit embarrassing to "read the story", so he turned his head and said to the little girl angrily: "You're in the spirit again, aren't you?" Still can't sleep? ”

The little girl immediately yawned and cooperated, "I'm sleepy now." ”

Osvid: "......"

Kevin took a few steps closer and glanced at the cover of Osvid's book, "Divine calendar? Which paragraph did you read? ”

Osvid replied casually, "The section where the god of light, Fae, swept away the rebels." ”

Kevin was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him with a complicated expression.

"What for?" Osveld lifted his eyelids.

Kevin threw a sympathetic glance at the little girl: "If I'm not mistaken, the second half of this paragraph is bloody and cruel, with corpses flowing everywhere and rivers of blood, are you trying to put people to sleep or deliberately scare people?" ”

Osveld snorted and said, "There is such a reliable one in the old gods, who will you read if you don't read him?" Besides, this battle was fought decisively and simply, and countless people were saved, so the little ghost should listen to more heroic stories so that he would not be afraid. ”

The little ghost nested in the quilt said very face-savingly: "Ao likes the light god Fae the most, he has read this story for a year, and I will memorize it, so I won't be afraid." ”

Osvid: "......"

Kevin: "......"

The young and handsome Emperor finally couldn't hold back his face, and in Kevin's eyes looking at the beast, he shook the book angrily, and walked to the door with a black face: "What the hell is going on?" If you look at me like this again, I'll have the guards fork you up and hang you on the tower for the night. ”

"Oh, I just want to say that copying the Codex is pen and paper, and it's not cost-effective. Let's compromise, how about I read it to you? Kevin said, tapping the cover of the Codex with his knuckles and smiling gracefully, "Think of it as a bedtime story." ”

Osvid looked at him expressionlessly for a moment, then raised his hand to the door and said two words succinctly: "Dream." Get lost. ”

Kevin snorted, "I suddenly miss you more than ten years ago." ”

Oswid: "What? ”

Kevin: "You can beat it up with your hand." ”

Osvid: "......"

The Honourable Kevin Fassbender's fifty times of copying became a hundred.

The young emperor, His Majesty, almost lost sleep.

The thrilling experience of the past few days, the reappearance of Kevin, who has been "dead for many years", and the bastard who loved to walk him back then still loves to walk him, and I don't know which of these three things is more exciting. In short, Osvid stared at the curtain on the top of the bed for a long, long time without the slightest sleepiness, and did not sleep until the early hours of the morning.

Just a moment, he also dreamed of Kevin.
