Chapter 69 Stay in the royal city
-
Dino stood by the window, enveloped in the sunlight falling through the cracks in the clouds.
His reddened curls fluttered slightly in the wind.
"I am the second son, the son of the Fire Sparrow, second only to Diffonor. Dino turned around, looked at Sheka and Dino, and said seriously, "I need to assist my father, help my father, and my duty is to protect the firesparrow and do my best to add glory to this surname." In the same way, I should look at Diffonor by that standard. I can't be stupid like a kid anymore!"
Dino became a little agitated by what he had said.
"I shouldn't be relying on Diffindor just because I'm my younger brother and feel like he should be burdened with more pressure and expectations. This is obviously just because of my personal cowardice and prevarication - I should do everything I can to become stronger in order to be his most trusted assistant! Dino furrowed his childish and innocent eyebrows slightly, "Everyone always seems to be a little too nice to me. β
Mo Shi was almost moved to tears.
What a kid this is.
"If you decide to stay here, then I'm willing to accompany you. Sheka stood up and said.
Mo Shi looked at him in surprise.
And Dino actually looked at him with an even more surprised expression.
"But what about your lady, Mr. Shekha?" Dino asked.
What the?
Mo Shi was completely taken aback this time: "You are already married?"
Mo Shi was then stared back with an even greater astonishment.
"I'm in my fifties, is it outside of common sense to get married?" Sheikh raised an eyebrow and looked at Mo Shi, "Or do you not even remember this common sense?"
"It seems to be so. Moshi regained his composure and agreed dryly.

"Duna. Mo Shi sat on the bed and looked at the sleepy-eyed girl who was cleaning up the charcoal fire.
"What's the matter, sir, do you need anything?" the girl rubbed her eyes and looked at him.
"I have something I want to discuss with you. β
"What??" the girl pointed to herself in surprise, and the yawn she was about to snort was completely dispelled, "You have something I need to do?"
"Come and sit. Mo Shi said mildly, "It's not a serious matter. β
Duna walked over to the bed and sat down on the carpet.
"I'm not a good host. Frail and sickly, with an eccentric personality, and no power or possessions. You've had a hard time these months. β
"It's no worse than when I was back home, my lord. Duna whispered.
Mo Shi knew that he could not forcibly instill in her concepts such as "equality" and "freedom", and her concepts were in line with the times and were not fallacious. It's just that Mo Shi himself can't naturally construct another set of thinking patterns.
"I decided I wanted to stay in the center. Mo Shi talked about this realistic topic, "I studied at the Spinel Institute for a few years. But it's a long way from your hometown. I think you should be consulted. β
Duna was surprised, her tail wagging back and forth. After a while, she seemed to understand: "But even if I miss my hometown, you will continue to stay in the center." β
Mo Shi smiled: "No. I mean, if you don't want to be in the center, I can find a way to get you home. β
"I won't leave you. The girl said categorically.
"I think you've reciprocated enough. You take care of me and care for me as if I were your brother Dubber. But you have your own home, don't you?"
"Whoever grows up is going to leave home. "And my choice is to follow you." You can't stop the birds that have left their parents from finding branches and building their nests, right?"
Mo Shi was stunned for a moment, and finally smiled: "Very appropriate metaphor." β
Then the girl's shoulders relaxed, and a soft smile appeared on the canine's face.
"You're so nice. She said suddenly, and looked at Mo Shi with the docile eyes that raised the canine, "Sometimes I even wonder if you are an angel who has come to the mortal world to be tested, or to test everyone. β
"That's an exaggeration...... I am by no means one of those extraordinary beings with a divine nature. Rather, it was the thing that scared him the most. He never wanted to be seen that way.
Mo Shi closed his eyes and sighed. Whisper:
"I'm a very ordinary person. When you are in society, on the one hand, you are limited by the freedom and tranquility of your personal space, so that you are afraid to go to the crowd. On the other hand, they will feel lonely and helpless - ordinary ordinary people to this extent. In my limited memory, I was even reprimanded for stealing, and I didn't steal for things, but just to get someone's attention...... How incompetent and arrogant I am. β
Mo Shi didn't understand why he suddenly said this.
Maybe it's because the night has come. The night is always weak.
Apparently Duna did not fully understand what he meant, but she sat there quietly and gently, like something stable and unchangeable, far more like an angel than Moshi.
"God will forgive these little mistakes," she said to him, earnestly and sincerely, "and I think you must have repented of it, so you can sleep well now." β
"Thank you. Mo Shi whispered.
-
Moshi stood in front of Manka Golden Lion.
The former eldest son is now the king of the northernmost kingdom.
Dressed in a white robe trimmed with gold, he prays as he stands in front of a shrine inlaid in the wall.
He recited a passage from the Holy Scriptures and stuck out his fingernails and dipped them in the silver basin. Then he ended the ceremony and walked up to Mo Shi.
"Mr. Moshi, tell me about your plans. He asked straight to the point.
So Mo Shi had no choice but to omit the compliments that he had originally prepared, and spoke directly: "Your Majesty, if I didn't guess what you meant, I think you are willing to take me in to serve in the palace, for which I am deeply grateful." But I thought I should go to the Spinel Academy first to remember what I had forgotten. After that, I think I will be qualified to serve His Majesty. β
"That's a good choice. "I can write a letter of recommendation for you." I think St. Ant's will be willing to help you. β
"But I don't have any money. Mo Shi said truthfully.
Manka immediately gave a look of understanding and nodded.
"You can get it in advance from your future money. Let me think about it......" Mo Shi could see that Manka was in a good mood and was enjoying the conversation, and he thought happily and casually for a while, "Why don't we record your salary according to the position of astrologer for the time being?"
"Thank you so much. Mo Shi was also a little surprised by the other party's generosity.
"By the way, you don't have your own mansion in Wangcheng, do you? Unfortunately, the financial constraints have been late, and I can't allocate more money to you, but I think you can stay until ...... By the way, you can move to Four Kings Street for the time being, where my uncle, Count Scarlet, had vacated his former mansion, and he went back to the Southlands, which had been uninhabited for a long timeβ"
Mo Shi's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
Didn't notice it the last time I talked to Manka. But there is no doubt that he was a little too kind and concerned about himself.
How so?
Moshi tried to think.
