Kevin dreamed that he was digging in the thick miasma of the dense forest of Andoha, and he cleared the wet mud, dragged a blurry weight, and lay down in the pit together, and then sealed the mud himself. The ground was hot and humid, covering people all over their bodies, like a thick layer of blood mud.

The rusty smell of blood grew heavier and heavier, and he finally couldn't help but pick up the dirt and sit up, only to see dead bodies everywhere around, and the battle flags of the Bronze Army and the Golden Lion Kingdom fell not far away, soaked in blood and turned dark. He looked down to his left and saw that the man lying with him in the pit was Osvid.

"Wake up—" He was a little upset, and pushed Osveld the shoulder, only to see the lying corpse actually sit up.

Osvid unconcernedly, he pulled out the arrow he was holding, picked up a longbow on the ground, handed it to him, and said, "Can you stand here and shoot the leaves of the chastity tree at the other end of the courtyard?" Try to show me. ”

He stood up from the ground with his body propped up, and when he looked up, he saw that the battlefield had become the garden of the Parsons family, and the adult Osveld stood at the tea table, looking at him with his arms folded for a long time.

"Okay, try it." He hesitated in response, then squinted at the sadaki in the distance and pulled the bowstring steadily.

The long arrow nailed heavily to the broad-leaved chastity tree with the sound of breaking wind, and the whole tree shook for a while before falling in response.

He lowered his bow, only to find himself standing on the top of a mountain, the whole world was extremely quiet, as if he were the only one left, and the huge sunset slowly sank behind him, leaving the sky as golden red as blood.

Kevin woke up in the silence of the twilight.

He sat up, only to find that he had been relocated at some point—it was clearly not Ausveld's study, but a large bedroom. A bedroom decorated with black gold brass as the main decoration, it is heavy and luxurious.

"You're finally awake." An elderly voice said.

Kevin turned his head and saw a meticulously dressed white-haired old man sitting on a chair next to the bed looking at him quietly, the nasolabial folds at the corners of his mouth were so deep that they were almost carved into his bones, looking old-fashioned and stern. The old man had a book spread out on his lap, and with Kevin's eyes, he could see the label on the corner of the book at a glance: Houshen Shu.

The first line of the page is written: Don't think of dreams as a nonsensical and ridiculous journey, it always has a place.

Kevin pursed his lips, withdrew his gaze, and said to the old man, "Uncle Ian, long time no see." ”

It's been a long time, and he hasn't seen this old butler since he left Parson Manor at the end of spring break that year, and he didn't expect to be brought into the palace by Osvid.

Ian put on a grave face and said, "It's nice to see you again." ”

Kevin: "...... Thank you. "I really don't see it at all.

"I'll go and call the young master." He was probably used to this title, and he couldn't change it for a while, so he got up and paused before adding, "Oh, it's Your Majesty." ”

Kevin lifted the quilt: "No need, I'll go out with you." ”

Before his feet touched the ground, a tall figure appeared at the door of the bedroom.

"Retract your feet, people who have been asleep for three days and three nights are not qualified to get out of bed and jump." Osveld's voice came coldly, "If you don't want to keep copying the code a hundred times. ”

When Kevin heard this, he retracted his foot for Junjie, and said in surprise: "Three days and three nights?!" ”

Oswald: "Or do you think?" ”

Kevin looked out through the window, the rain had not stopped, and a thin layer of mist had risen on the ground, similar to before he went to sleep: "...... I thought it would be half a day. ”

Osvid replied contemptuously, "Huh. ”

Kevin: "......"

"Let them get something to eat, roast a mountain rabbit and stew a suckling stork or something." Osveld untied his rain-soaked coat and instructed Ian.

Old Ian saluted, and then said with a straight look: "No, people who haven't eaten for three days and three nights can't eat these, I'll let them do something else." In addition, your recent diet has been too meaty, and I have already informed them to change the menu in the morning. After saying that, he walked away respectfully.

"......," Osvid said expressionlessly, "I must have been in the sea to bring him here." ”

Seeing that the flesh in his mouth was flying, Kevin also twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "So he is now?" ”

Osvid slumped his face: "Chief Chamberlain." ”

Kevin: "......"

He stared at Osveld for a long moment, then said without words, "I find out now, you are probably a masochist. ”

Osvid: "......"

He slammed the door shut with a cold face, then strode over to the bed, pulling his armchair over. When he sat down, he couldn't help but explain stiffly: "If I hadn't brought Old Man Ian here, he would have died a long time ago." It's true that I'm annoyed with him, but that doesn't mean I want him to die. ”

Kevin opened his mouth, still wanting to tease, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by Osvid: "Shut up, you don't have to speak." Now I'm asking you, what's the matter with you? ”

"What's going on?" Kevin was stunned.

"From the time you came out of the jungle in Amdoha until now, except for a few times when you were awake in the fight, you have been sleeping almost all the time." Osveld Road.

Kevin chuckled dryly and rubbed his somewhat sore neck, "Probably...... Sleep deprivation. ”

Osvid sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, you told Miao that you were in a coma until this year. People who have slept for several years tell me that they don't get enough sleep, what about fooling ghosts? ”

Kevin: "......"

"The next time you talk nonsense, it's best to find a piece of paper and write it down, so as not to turn around and forget and slap yourself in the face." Osvid leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms to squint at him, "So I think it's important for you to reinterpret the whole thing." ”

Kevin thought for a moment and said, "Okay...... I don't know why I didn't die in the first place, or why I woke up in the jungle of Amdoha. Just when I opened my eyes, I just saw a hungry lion pounce on me, oh, it's Ben's stinky boy. Of course I couldn't have been so cheap for him, so I cleaned him up—"

"Wait a minute." Osvid wasn't at all interested in how he cleaned up his class, "You said you saw a lion when you opened your eyes?" Where are you lying? ”

"On the ground." Kevin said.

"Just lying like this, uncovered?" Osvid said, "There are indeed not many large beasts in Adorha, but some are insects, both living and dead, and they are affected by the miasma, each of which is poisonous, and if you bite without medicine, it will inevitably festering and suppurating, what about your wounds?" ”

Kevin: "......"

"So where the hell are you lying?" Osvid picked his chin and asked again.

Kevin said helplessly: "Underground." ”

Osvid frowned: "Underground? What is underground? ”

"Just dig a pit and bury it in the ground."

Osvid: "......"

This description is very weird, can a living person be buried in the ground?

"No matter how much you fake your death, you should really die if you are buried for a while." Osvid said this with a stiff face, and then remembered another thing coldly, "I was still at Parson Manor when you died in battle, and I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard Mio mention it later. He said that he was there for the whole of your funeral, and after the coffin was laid down, he and several officers of the Bronze Army stood in front of the tombstone all day and did not leave until dusk. The coffin has such a large space, and it can still survive after a whole day? ”

Kevin: "......"

Osvid's eyes were lighter in color than when he was a child, almost transparent, like the most shrewd snow wolf in the Mogao Ice Field, and when he looked straight at him, there was a kind of arrogance and penetration.

"Okay...... You wait. Kevin got out of bed from the other side, closed the window tightly, and then walked over to Osvid and asked, "Do you have any weapons at hand?" Like a dagger and a dagger or something? The same goes for fruit knives. ”

Osvid: "......"

This is like trying to usurp power.

"Oh, I don't mean anything else, just to borrow it." Kevin added.

"You can try to walk barefoot again." Osvid told him to roll back into bed, stepped aside himself, and pulled out a Ugin dagger from behind the full-length mirror and threw it to him.

Kevin caught it, flicked off the dagger sheath, and slashed his wrist without blinking an eye.

"What are you doing?! Crazy?! Osvid snatched the dagger.

"Eh—take it easy." Kevin waved his hand nonchalantly and raised his wrist in front of him, "Look closely." ”

Osvid was reluctant to shut up, but his face was still not very good-looking, probably still thinking that Kevin was a little crazy. He looked at the bleeding wound with a dark face, ready to call someone in to come in and give Kevin medicine to stop the bleeding.

But after not looking at it for a while, his face changed.

Because the wound had stopped bleeding on its own, and in just a few seconds, most of it had healed. It was a miraculous process, the cracks in the skin were re-kneaded together at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there were no scabs, as if they had never been scratched.

If it weren't for the two drops of blood left on the ground, Osvid would have suspected that he had been sleepwalking.

Kevin shook his intact wrist in front of him, "Do you understand why I'm lying and fooling people now?" ”
