Chapter 12 The Fox Demon's Request
Qin Zhen's life in the demon clan gradually stabilized, and every day he either took care of a few experimental fields, or accompanied the little maid to play chess with Ain, of course, the battle level between the two non-humans was too high, and he could only take a step back and sit on the spectator seat to guide the country.
Luo Ya woke up before the castle was repaired, saying that she didn't want to experience Silent Hill anymore, and she stuck to Qin Zhen and wandered around every day.
I have to say that the evolution ability of the demon clan is comparable to that of a large plastic surgery hospital, and Luoya, who is already beautiful enough, has become more three-dimensional after this evolution, and her appearance is close to that of non-human Ain, and the branches that have not yet grown are staring at her with envy, asking for ways to become beautiful.
Qin Zhen, who had nothing to do, didn't take him to play because the little maid and Ain disliked him for stinky chess, and he himself would rather die than experience Silent Hill, so he had no choice but to make a low-profile version of mahjong with the lime material left over from the castle.
The three of them didn't have enough for a table, so Qin Zhen brought in Bud who didn't know whether he should call his sister or his younger brother, and barely managed to make up enough people, and several people moved a table and rubbed it in the back garden.
"Two cylinders."
"Bump! Thirty thousand. ”
"Huh!"
Qin Zhen knocked down the card with a smile on his face, and drew a bar under the marks representing branches, buds, and Luoya on the floor in front of him.
Except for himself, which was empty underneath, the underneath of the other three had all been densely painted.
"If you don't play, you won't play, I'm going to find Sister Crispy Noodle to play with you." Bud pursed her lips and shouted unhappily that she had the impression that only Lord Ain and Sister Maid could dominate the strange game invented by the king in the castle.
Zhi glanced at Qin Zhen nervously, and only after confirming that Qin Zhen was not angry did he put his mind at ease, secretly pulled the buds, and reminded in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, use honorifics to the king." ”
On the other side, Luo Ya, who had already lost her head, was holding back her breath and wanted to avenge the bullet in her head, and when she saw the bud that was about to run away, she suddenly wilted a little, and looked up at Qin Zhen hopefully.
"Just noodles......" Qin Zhen thought about it, even if the little maid is strong in chess and backgammon, he will never be able to compare to mahjong, which he has been by his mother's side for a long time, right?
Just as he was about to discuss the feasibility of Silent Hill online multiplayer mode with Ain, Qin Zhen nodded and agreed: "Okay, just call Ain over." ”
And when Qin Zhen was busy finding the field from the mahjong table, in the outer city, a group of people were rushing to the castle with gifts and sorrowful faces.
The man at the front was supposed to be the leader of the group, and beside him was a woman with a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and behind the three of them were six attendants carrying boxes.
"Father, did you say that the king would promise to help us?" The delicate-looking little boy asked worriedly.
"Ugh." Ah Jiu sighed: "Even if we don't agree, we have to give it a try, the clan decided to send your sister to the Sith Empire, and your grandfather also acquiesced, and now you can only ask the king for help." ”
"My dear, I don't want my child to go to the human race, you also know the attitude of human beings towards our demon race, I'm afraid of ......" As she spoke, Mrs. Ah Jiu's tears couldn't stop flowing.
Ah Jiu, who was already irritable, saw that his wife's tears were even more angry, but thinking that his wife was also for the sake of the child like himself, he could only hold back his anger and comfort softly: "Don't worry, I heard that the king will even help that group of orphans, and the matter of the green kite should not be regarded as invisible." ”
"Hopefully ......"
The distance between the outer city and the inner city is not too far, and it didn't take too long for Ah Jiu and his party to arrive at the castle.
Inform the guards, because they know each other, they let go without much investigation.
According to the guidance of the guards, they came to the back garden of the castle where the king was, and heard laughter far away, and when everyone saw the scene in the back garden, they all opened their mouths wide and froze in place, and some kind of faith in their hearts seemed to quietly collapse.
Their awe-inspiring Wang was barefoot, pressed to the ground by a strange green-haired girl screaming, and beside them there was a familiar flamingo girl who was squatting down with her back to them with a grin, flicking the king's head hard.
Not far from the three of them, a group of children were still cheering and shouting cheers, and in the children's pile, the maid beside the prophet didn't seem to see this scene, but was a little eager to try......
"Don't ...... Stop playing, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, if someone comes, let's get up first, okay? Qin Zhen lay on the ground, panting and begging for mercy.
"Hmph, no, you have to finish playing!" Ain clung to Qin Zhen, her long green hair embedded in the soil like an anchor.
"That's it." Ya Tianxia shouted in a disorderly manner, "The number of times you owe in the morning is that you ran over and secretly wiped it off after lunch, you can't be fooled this time!" ”
"Don't bully the king!" Only Zhi couldn't bear to say good things for Qin Zhen, but unfortunately no one paid attention to her.
After more than fifty strokes, Aine finally retracted his confinement, and Qin Zhen hurriedly got up from the ground.
He swore that he would play any game with this thing in the future, and he would be stupid X!
After dusting off the mud on his body, Qin Zhen tidied up his appearance, pointed to the dazzling people standing on the edge of the garden and asked Ain, "Who are they?" ”
Aine didn't reply: "They? The one who took the lead is the current patriarch of the demon fox clan, and he just had a good time, so I didn't tell you that they had already come in. ”
"You're incompetent, bodyguard." Qin Zhen twitched the corners of his mouth, his glorious image was completely ruined today.
Compared with Ain's indifference, Luo Ya's face was pale, although Ah Jiu was not a member of the Presbyterian Church, he had a father in the Presbyterian Church. The matter of her playing the king's forehead is, at worst, disrespecting the envoy of the beast god and disrespecting the king, and at the worst, it is also exceeding the rules of etiquette and clan, which is a crime of exile at the lightest!
Seeing Qin Zhen shift his gaze to him, Ah Jiu immediately stepped forward quickly with his wife and son.
Looking at Luo Ya, who was desperately bowing her head, and Ain, who was staying on the side with her arms crossed, Ah Jiu said apologetically: "The great envoy of the beast god and the king of the demon clan, please forgive me for the interruption, because I have been busy with the political affairs of my clan and cannot come to hold a banquet to welcome the king's arrival, so I specially came to ask the king to punish him today." ”
"It's fine." Qin Zhen turned sideways to block Luo Ya, "There is no need for punishment, don't go to the Elders Council and tell the story of what you saw today." ”
"No, no, no." Ah Jiu hurriedly shook his head and glanced at the attendant behind him.
Taking the wooden box handed over by the attendant, Ah Jiu smiled a little: "This is a gift for you, I heard that the king likes plants, and this is the seed of an unknown plant that I found in the cave of a lord-level wolf when I was in the hunting team." ”
Qin Zhen motioned to the little maid to accept it, and if he didn't take the things he gave for nothing, he didn't have a good impression of the people in power in the outer city anyway.
When Qin Zhen accepted the gift, Ah Jiu's mood relaxed slightly, and he beckoned the attendant to put the boxes carried in front of Qin Zhen in turn: "I heard that you generously distributed the surplus grain of the castle to the children who stayed in the castle, I think your food reserves are definitely not much, and these meat and wheat will be given to you for the daily consumption of the castle." ”
Looking at Qin Zhen, who still didn't show any happiness, Ah Jiu thought about it, and ruthlessly took out the two shiny necklaces that he was going to give to his daughter, and offered them with a painful face: "I don't know that the king has married two princesses, and I haven't prepared much, I hope the princess can like these two small gifts." ”
“......”
The air suddenly fell a little quiet.
Aine was a little stunned, he couldn't quite understand what the princess meant, and looked at Qin Zhen suspiciously.
Luo Ya blushed, she wanted to refute, but she was afraid that she would be recognized by Ah Jiu as soon as she raised her head.
"Ahem." The silence of the two made Qin Zhen's old face flush, but he was also a little self-aware, Luo Ya must know this fox demon patriarch, but his psychology was still a little rippling.
Vaguely took the necklace, Qin Zhen became curious about Ah Jiu's intention, he didn't believe that he was just coming to visit him by sending so many things.
"Let's stop beating around the bush, let's talk about what I need help with."
Ah Jiu smiled embarrassedly, looked at the people around him, and was a little flickering.
"It's okay, it's all my own."
Seeing that Qin Zhen didn't mean to let Ain and them retreat, Ah Jiu could only sigh secretly, and really explained the meaning: "The story has to start from a long time ago......"
The story is not long, and Ah Jiu, who is the patriarch, tells it in a clear manner, so that Qin Zhen can understand the ins and outs after listening to it.
The Sith Empire has a very good relationship with the dwarves, and the demon clan is a country that has established diplomatic relations with the dwarves, so in the dwarf kingdom, you can often see the demon people, the dwarves and the human race sitting at the same wine table.
A few years ago, Ah Jiu took a pair of children to the dwarf kingdom to play, and happened to meet the Sith prince's mission, and the two groups of people who were originally unrelated seemed to have been played a joke by fate, and they were mixed together by unexpected situations when they should not have any intersections.
The whereabouts of the prince's mission, which was secretly traveling back then, was somehow known by the demons, and the demons, who had land bordering the dwarf kingdom, immediately sent ten squads of assassins, preparing to attack and kill the prince and blame the dwarves to affect the relationship between the two clans.
It just so happened that Ah Jiu and his children who were shopping that day were involved in it, and the red-eyed assassin killed him when he saw someone, and Ah Jiu, who had no choice, could only protect himself by beasting, and the demon clan thought that Ah Jiu was the prince's guardian beast......
In this way, the misunderstanding deepened, and Ah Jiu barely broke through in the scarred and brought the Sith Prince, who was still a child who was scattered by the crowd to their side. The appearance of the demon fox clan is a well-known existence even in the Aoya continent, and the rescued Sith prince fell in love with Ah Jiu's daughter Qing Kite at first sight in a short time together, and made a promise to marry Qing Kite when he left.
It was originally a fairy tale of the prince and Cinderella, but the truth is that the demon race, as a small existence on this continent that is only one level higher than the orc slaves, is disliked by all intelligent races. It's okay in the demon clan, at most it's death, but in the human race, most of the captured demon girls will be reduced to the toys of the nobles, and live a life that is worse than death.
"So, you don't want to marry your daughter? However, the Council of Elders is ready to rely on the green kite to establish a marriage with the Terrans? After the story was told, Qin Zhen thought for a moment before speaking.
"Well, what if the prince truly loves my daughter? His subjects would not allow a fox demon with demon bloodline to be a princess. ”
"When is the appointment?"
"There was no appointed time, originally we all thought that the Sith prince had forgotten about the green kite, but just last month, we received news from the dwarf kingdom that the Sith prince and his party would take advantage of the opportunity to go to the dwarf kingdom and transfer to the demon clan to take the green kite." Ah Jiu's wife interjected with a wry smile.
Family affairs are difficult to decide, and besides, the decision of the Outer City Elders' Council is not something that he, a fictitious king with no power, can change, Qin Zhen was just about to refuse, Luo Ya, who had not spoken, suddenly reached out and poked Qin Zhen, and whispered: "Agreed." ”
"Okay." Qin Zhen was helpless, and the temporary princess spoke, and he couldn't object to it: "I can't pack tickets for this matter, but I will try my best to help you." ”
After getting Qin Zhen's confirmation, Ah Jiu's family all breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great, we won't bother you, the Sith prince should come to my clan the day after tomorrow, and I will have someone to inform you when the time comes." After speaking, Ah Jiu pulled over his son Qingyuan, who had been hiding behind, and wanted him to say hello to Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen looked at the cowardly birth that suddenly appeared, and also slightly understood why Prince Sith fell in love at first sight.
The vixen's face is really not covered.
took out one of the two necklaces, anyway, he knew that Aine wouldn't like this kind of thing, so he smiled and handed it to Qing Yuan, who was shrinking back: "Don't worry, my brother will help you stop the prince and won't let you leave your parents." ”
"......" Ah Jiu.
"......" Qingyuan.
"That." Ah Jiu was embarrassed: "This is the contemptible son Qingyuan, and my daughter didn't come over today when she was unwell......
