1:319 Scrimson Snow (Part I)
1:319 Melee to Scarlet Snow (Part I)
When Arthur woke up again, it was already late at night. In the infirmary, Greenway was on the side with a drip for Arthur.
"How's it going?, are you still dizzy?" asked Greenway, her tone becoming cold as water.
"Hmm," Arthur replied awkwardly.
"You're a failure, to be plotted like that. Greenway scoffed.
"I'm afraid that guy has been lurking in the room with osmosis magic. He is a master assassin. Arthur thought to himself, the truth potion he had been injected was still affecting his brain, making him unable to think normally.
"Save it. Boasting about others is just to cover up your own gaffes. Greenway's mouth was mercilessly critical.
Arthur chose to remain silent. He was too lazy to reason with the girl.
"That guy is [Shadow Dancer] Douglas, the one with the highest bounty of all the most heinous criminals. Pasiva on the side only interjected at this time, "He is the best at using osmosis magic and disguise magic, and he is very tricky. In order to kill Arthur, the council even hired such criminals. What a dirty deal. Arthur felt like he had heard the name somewhere. But his mind was still a mess and there was no way to recall anything properly.
"All in all, Dad has called me and Jaglovi to take turns guarding you twenty-four hours a day, and we can't let the same thing happen again. "Personal guards?" you mean—" "That's right, we'll be there for you when you're showering, when you're going to the bathroom, when you're changing, when you're sleeping. Pasiva said with a serious expression.
"Are you kidding me!?" Arthur made a sad expression.
"Poof!" Greenway snickered.
The next morning. There are only three days left until the appointed date for the restoration of the Sword of Kings.
The leopard man Palamides got up and looked at his surroundings.
He is in a beautiful rainforest.
He looked around, and the green horse reflected in his eyes.
The sun shone down in the trees, and the dappled shadows fell on the leopard man. Wild birds chirp in the woods, insects fly by from time to time, and streams murmur and reflect sparkling waves in the sun.
What a beautiful piece of nature. But--"This is-?" the leopard man was confused. He's supposed to be in Vivien's institute, huh?
"Oh, you're awake?" Vivien appeared out of thin air in the woods, she looked around, "What's going on?—those two mischievous kittens, messing with my projection device again?" she fiddled with something in mid-air. The rainforest in front of Palamides vanished immediately, turning back into the metallic infirmary.
"Oh, is this an illusion created by magic? The leopard was relieved and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Probably to surprise you. I didn't know how dangerous it would be, what if I hit the wall or the corner of the table?" Vivien reproached.
Although the holographic scene projected by the magic can be realistic, the illusion is only an illusion after all, and Palamides is still in the original small infirmary. If he saw the beauty of nature and ran excitedly, he would inevitably hit his head against the invisible wall.
The two leopard boys probably wanted to use this to trick their dad. What a naughty ghost.
The golem behind Vivien brought breakfast and placed it in front of the leopard man. "Eat," Vivien said, "you've been recuperating for so many days, and you can eat some solid food." Palamides subconsciously touched his abdomen, and he could no longer feel the pain in his internal organs.
Vivien has been busy not only reforging the King's Sword these days, but also taking time to treat Palamides with magic, and she has to take care of two kittens—what a hard time for her.
"I still have a lot of things to do, you can walk around the institute and take a tour. However, there are some dangerous laboratory animals sealed in the restricted area, so you'd better not approach them. With that, Vivien turned and left.
"Wait, uh-" The Leopard Man was about to stop Vivien, but she was already far away.
"Xiexie," the leopard man muttered under his breath.
The golem had just followed Vivien out, and the room had changed again. This is the living room of Arthur's farmhouse.
"Hey, hey, hey. A small chuckle sounded outside the door.
The leopard man bit his bread and drank his milk absentmindedly, "Zhalfir, Segrade? Two leopard boys poked their heads out the door and looked at their father, "This is not a good meow? "Whoosh. "The scenery in the room changed immediately, this time it was a verdant field.
"I'm so annoyed! I can't even find where the table is!" the leopard warrior reached out and fumbled, spilling the milk on the table with one hand, splashing himself.
"Hey, hey. Zhalfir pressed the remote control of the hologram, and the surrounding scene changed to the top of the snow-capped mountain again.
"Wow. Before the leopard warrior could wipe the milk off his body, he was immediately frightened by the empty sight beneath his feet. Although he knew it was an illusion, he only had a small foothold under his feet, and it seemed that he would fall off the cliff from time to time (in fact, he was afraid of heights).
"Have you had enough?!Hurry up and put it away!" the leopard man said angrily.
"Meow!" Segrade was startled and pressed a key on the remote control with the wrong hand.
The scene is transformed into a dilapidated mud house. The home of Palamides.
A leopard woman stands in front of the kitchen, happily humming a dít, and is cooking a stewed broth.
This is a scene projected according to the memories of the leopard man's boy. The happy days of the past.
"Renathe" Paramides jumped up in a daze, and rushed desperately to hug the woman.
Of course, he couldn't touch anything. The figure passed through his body like air, leaving only the leopard man stumbling to the ground.
The woman's visions have come to the table, putting the stew on the table, calling for her husband and son to come and eat. It looks so realistic, but it's just a phantom of the past.
The leopard man sat on the cold floor, looked at his wife's back, and shed tears.
"I'm sorry, daddy meow—" The two kittens, too, knew they had gone too far, and came over and snuggled up to the leopard man, and began to sobble quietly.
"It's okay, come here—" The leopard man hugged his two sons, and the three of them cried together.
"The past is gone. Don't think about it anymore. It's just a matter of living better in the days to come. The leopard man whispered reassurance, not so much to his sons as to himself.
It was about ten minutes before he saw the image around him reced, turning back into the cold, metallic infirmary.
"Anyway, Dad, what do you think of Aunt Vivien?" Zhalfir asked suddenly, wiping away his tears.
"How, how? what?" said Palamides, stunned.
"That is, you like her meow?" Segrad asked, too, "to make her my new mother meow?" The leopard warrior's face flushed for a moment, "What, what is it?, what are you talking about!" "But didn't Daddy ever kiss Aunt Vivien?" "But you do like Aunt Vivien, meow?" Zhalfir asked suddenly.
Palamides was speechless for a moment. Seeing the expectant eyes of his two sons, he sighed: "A person like me is not young anymore, he has achieved nothing and he is not handsome with his two sons, and he is not human. How can a man like me be worthy of such a noble person as Miss Vivien—" "Don't digress, Daddy Meow. "I'm asking you if you like Aunt Vivien's meow." The leopard man did not answer.
The two leopard man teenagers looked at each other and sighed: "Dad, you are really a worthless guy." "Anyway, a person like me, even if I pursue her, I will definitely be rejected immediately. Palamides said angrily. In his impression, Vivian, the black lady, was always so noble and unapproachable.
"So, you're just afraid of rejection? "Don't make trouble for you two, okay?" said the Leopard Man, "Miss Vivien is already busy repairing the King's Sword. Don't get in her way. "But, we really want a mommy meow. Zhalfir smirked, "Dad's cooking is too unpalatable, but Aunt Vivien's cooking is more delicious." If Daddy gets her to be his wife, we'll be able to eat Aunt Vivien's cooking forever. (Can you think of something other than eating?) "Uh-huh, that's it, meow. Zhalfir and his brother looked at each other and smiled, the two kittens didn't know what bad was going on, "Dad, you wait for meow." There's always a way to get you and Aunt Vivian okay. Hey, hey, hey, hey—" The two kittens laughed and ran, and suddenly disappeared.
Palamides was helpless for a while, he wanted to chase the two kittens, but his body had not yet healed, and he did not dare to do strenuous exercise. These two boys shouldn't be able to do any tricks, right?
