Chapter 7: The Mysterious Gem and the Female Voice
"In the fight outside the city, we found a large number of Storm Eagle feathers from the debris on the ground." A man in a tight-fitting night suit held a snow-white feather in his hand and said respectfully to Herme.
Hermo picked up the feather, raised the corners of his mouth and said, "It seems that this old fox can't bear it, and you continue to find out if it's me." β
Hersa sat in a chair, picking up papers and flipping through them.
A figure appeared in front of him silently, wearing a black mask with a golden thunderbolt pattern on the mask.
The figure stood in front of Hermo and said coldly, "Your Excellency asked you to go to him at night." With that, he vanished without a trace, leaving only a golden lightning token on his desk.
Hermo picked up the token and said helplessly: "I have come with a thousand military orders, it seems that I must go back." β
In the manor, Liviel had already burrowed into the library.
Rows of bookshelves were neatly arranged, and so many books were stored in them, and Liviel couldn't help but sigh as she looked at it, "It feels bigger than the National Library." β
"Basics of magic, statehood, magic attack techniques........." Liviel scanned one book after another, and whispered, "What kind of books are these, huh?" What is it? β
Liviel found a wooden box buried in dust in the far corner, and walked over curiously, blowing away the thick dust, opening the wooden box, a musty smell came to her face, and the dust dispersed, only to see a black gem floating in the box.
Liviel felt a very cold aura from this gem, and couldn't help but shiver.
"What the hell is this?" Liviel held the gemstone in her hand, but felt not cold but a very warm texture.
The black gem lay quietly in Liviel's hand, and for some reason Liviel always felt like a sleeping child, and when Liviel was about to put the gem down, the gem melted in her hand like a snowflake. Liviel hurriedly flipped her hand over to look left and right, but she couldn't find any trace of the gem.
"It's not going to be in me." Liviel said slowly.
"Hee-hee." Suddenly, a girl's laughing voice sounded.
"Who are you?" Liviel asked, glancing around.
"Master, we'll see each other soon." The sound gets quieter and quieter until it disappears.
βmasterοΌ Who are you and why do you call me that? Liviel asked again, but the voice didn't answer.
"Hey! Who the hell are you, answer me! Liviel shouted, and only her voice echoed throughout the library.
"Miss, what's going on?" I saw that the maid at the beginning came to Liviel's side like a ghost and asked with concern.
"Ahh The sudden maid startled Livielle, and at the same time she was shocked in her heart, because she didn't feel any breath of this maid at all, if this was a battlefield, Liviel took a cool breath when she thought of this.
"No... It's okay, I just accidentally fell. Liviel said with a smile as she glanced at the location of the wooden box only to find that it was gone!
"No injuries, right? Let me check it out for you. The maid said with concern, placing one hand on Liviel's forehead.
Liviel felt a very warm force spin around her and closed her eyes in enjoyment.
"Miss, let's go. Sir, they're waiting for you in the hall. The maid thoughtfully used magic to remove all the dust from Liviel's body and said slowly.
Liviel nodded and walked ahead.
"What the hell is this? And who is that girl? Liviel thought about it all the way until she heard a roar.
As soon as Liviel walked to the fountain, she heard the old man's voice: "Bastard thing! I will give you three days to find this messenger, and if you cannot find you, the king, do not go any further. β
Liviel walked into the hall, but Herme, who was originally arrogant, nodded like a child who had done something wrong and was caught, and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely find him!" In the past few days, the Executive Directorate and the Shadow Department have found many clues, and they will definitely be found within three days. β
"Hmph, remember your words. Liviel is here, come to Grandpa. The old man snorted coldly at first, and then saw that Livier immediately changed his face and said gently, the old man's contrast stunned Hermo directly, his father, who has always been decisive in killing, still has such a side?
Liviel sat down beside the old man, picked up a fruit, took a bite, looked at Hermer, and thought, "I have made a note of last night's events." β
Liviel looked at the old man's mouth and suddenly the corners of her mouth rose, hugged the old man's arm and said, "Grandpa, it's him." I found a magician to play with me last night, but that person is so weak. β
Hermo secretly said that it was not good, and when the old man heard it, he turned his head to look at Herme, who was bowing his head, and said, "The magician is playing with Liviel?" Boy, you're getting bolder, aren't you? β
"Dad, that's... It was a misunderstanding. Hermo said with a wry smile.
"Misunderstanding? Hmph, I don't know you yet? You're just afraid that your big brother will come to grab your throne, and you want to grab Liviel to threaten your big brother. The old man's eyes became cold, and he said unhurriedly.
Liviel felt a strong sense of oppression from the old man, as if she was being targeted by a fierce beast.
Hermo was soaked with sweat and said with difficulty: "Dad, I... I was wrong. β
The old man still said coldly: "You two brothers are a family, do you have to do it to your relatives for the sake of a throne?" What's more, don't you know your eldest brother's temperament, do you think he really wants to get the throne? To be honest, your eldest brother is definitely more qualified to be a king than you. β
"You're right." Hermo said through clenched teeth.
"Don't think I don't know how many ministers you coerced and lured to become king? It's your brother who has been holding me back, or you'd have gotten out of here! The old man continued.
"Your brother secretly doesn't know how many assassinations he has helped you block, and he personally came to the door to say good things for you in order to get the ministers to support you, do you know this? You don't even know! The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and he directly turned into a phantom and appeared in front of Herme, and slapped Hermo directly out with one palm.
Seeing this, Orsa immediately held the old man, and as he spoke, he gestured to let his subordinates go to see Herme: "Dad, don't be angry, you are so old, your temper really needs to change." β
Hermo slowly walked into the hall with the blood on the corner of his mouth, he remembered that when he was a child, Orsa rescued him from the attack of the monster in order to save him from the monster's lair, but Orsa was lying on the bed for nearly half a year because of his serious injury, and he also remembered that they were once inseparable.
Hermo slowly walked in front of Orsa, and said with guilt in his eyes: "Brother, I'm sorry. I'm such a fucker! Beat me up. β
Orsa punched Hermo in the face and flew out of the hall once more.
Hermo struggled to his feet, swallowed all the blood from his mouth, and walked over to Orsa again.
Orsa asked his subordinates to bring a medical kit, treated Herme's wound and said, "This punch is because you have not managed well and put my daughter in danger, you must find that person, otherwise I will give you another punch." β
"Brother... I'll definitely find out. Hermo nodded and said firmly.
"Shhh Hermo said with a cool breath.
"Bear with me, a big man can't bear this pain!" Orsa said with a smile.
"Liviel, I'm sorry for letting you happen to that." Hermo crouched in front of Liviel and said reproachfully.
"It's okay, isn't that okay with me? Besides, there is no way, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. Liviel picked up a piece of fruit and handed it to Hermer and smiled.
"Uncle assures you, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, I will directly lead troops to kill him!" Hermo said with a swollen face and a very funny look.
Liviel looked at the people who seemed to have found resonance, and couldn't help but complain in her heart: "Is there anyone in this lineup who dares to provoke without long eyes?" β
Seeing everyone looking at her, Liviel felt very awkward, looked at the dark sky and immediately said, "I... I'm hungry. β
"Haha, let's go, let's eat. Come on, go and get the wine my granddaughter gave me, and our family will finally be reunited tonight. The old man laughed.
As soon as she heard the wine, Orsa felt a pain in her flesh.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? The face is weird. Hermo asked, looking at Orsa.
"No... It's nothing. β
At the table, dishes were served, and a maid came in with a beautifully packaged wine bottle, which filled the dining room with a strong fragrance as soon as the cork was lifted.
"Good wine, good wine." The old man sniffed vigorously and said happily.
"Can it be bad? This is made by me with dozens of rare plants, and I am reluctant to drink it! Orsa grumbled inwardly.
Seeing Orsa's pained expression, Liviel had another idea in her heart.
"Dad, your face is really bad." Liviel said with her big watery eyes.
"No... Nothing, I'm moved, yes, I'm so moved. Ha ha. Orsa said very far-fetchedly.
Angelville seemed to have thought of something, and gently picked up a dish for Orsa, and said very gently in his ear: "Honey, this wine is yours." β
Orsa's frightened tiger body was shocked, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a smile and said, "How... How so? It's been a long time since I've ever touched a thing like alcohol. β
Orsa said with great remorse in her heart: "Daughter, I don't take you to play like this!" β
Liviel, on the other hand, ate to herself as if she didn't care about me, and from time to time raised her head to show Orsa a successful look.
Angelville said softly, "Honey, where do you want to sleep tonight?" β
"It's over, it's overturned." Orsa thought desperately.
