Chapter 70: Kevin's Secret
"Sister Xuela, how many times have I told you, fruit wine is also an alcoholic drink, and Tita is a child and can't drink it." Estelle's disgruntled voice came from the cabin.
"Hey...... Actually, it's still delicious, but I'm a little dizzy after drinking it......" Tida's voice sounded a little confused.
"Miss Sherazade, enough is enough." Kross persuaded from the sidelines, her tone gentle.
"No way, since Her Royal Highness the princess has said so." Sherazadeh said regretfully, giving up on a last-ditch effort.
Everyone who has completely relaxed from the intense work on weekdays looks a little crazy. At noon, everyone rented a boat and galloped happily on the rippling blue lake; After lunch, the girls gathered for snacks and refreshments, chatting happily about various topics; Men are looking for an open place, and they have nothing to do with it, and they are used as digestive exercises after meals; In the afternoon, you can either sleep in the warm sun or throw the filaments into the water and enjoy the fun of fishing; And after the sumptuous dinner, there will be a variety of activities and entertainment, playing cards, drinking, and telling jokes...... Wait a minute.
Moments of joy are always short-lived, though. Before you know it, it's the last night to be able to eat and drink at this tourist destination.
"How? It's not a bad idea to let down your guard once in a while and have fun with everyone, right? Walking along the river, on the beach at sunset, Heliga looked at a certain reef on the shore and deliberately said, "Father Kevin? β
"Huh...... What are you talking about. Kevin walked out from behind the stone with a complicated expression on his face: "Aren't you the one who hasn't let down your guard...... I'm just an ordinary Star Cup knight, why am I being targeted by you. β
Kevin said this, of course, he meant something - the young man in front of him had a very normal attitude when facing other people, but when he faced himself, he always had a caring attitude for some reason. Not only that, but the boy also used various means, as if he always hinted that he wanted to have a chance to talk to him aloneβand this opportunity finally came at this moment.
"An ordinary Star Cup Knight?" Heliga seemed to have heard a funny joke, "An ordinary knight of the Star Cup, who is neither a scientific researcher nor a military person, can approach the ruins deep underground of that royal capital, and can still let Captain Yulia personally lead the way?" An ordinary knight of the Star Cup, able to use the captured ancient relics openly, without being blamed by any force? An ordinary Star Cup knight would dare to spy on a dangerous executor like the Sword Emperor and the Monster Thief at close range? An ordinary Star Cup knight actually directly shouldered the secret mission of the regiment leader, and gathered help forces everywhere? If an ordinary Star Cup Knight had such strong ability, power, and courageβdon't you think the Qiyao Church would have been able to hang the alliance a long time ago? β
ββ¦β¦ Hey, I've lost to you. After thinking about it for a moment, Kevin made an exaggerated gesture of helplessness: "Indeed...... As you said, I'm not the star cup knight I seem. β
"I finally admit it...... And it looks like you have a big mission on your shoulders? Well? Hey, don't be so nervous, I didn't guess your real identity, I just knew you were unusual...... Maybe you're the knight next to the chief? In our empire, there is a saying that some of the emperor's guards or servants may be better sources of intelligence than some high-ranking officials...... Maybe a similar situation can be applied to you. Heiliga seemed to put away her hostility, and her tone changed to a mostly mocking joke.
ββ¦β¦ Is this kid playing tricks on me? Kevin was angry, but on the surface, he could only show a grinning expression: "Indeed, this is confidential, I really can't tell you ......"
"But you can tell me something else. For example...... Some details about the Ring of Radiance that only your church knows. "Don't say it, you really only know those empty words and clichΓ©s...... I won't believe it. β
ββ¦β¦ There seems to be no requirement for secrecy about this matter, but it is up to me not to reveal too much to them. Kevin thought for a moment, then replied, "It's not impossible to tell you some of them...... But correspondingly, I'm just going to ask you something. β
"Is it the same as last time? So I'll start first. "I really only have one problem to figure out in a hurry...... About the sacred beast that guards the treasure. β
"The dragon?"
"Yes...... I would like to ask, does the Church have any record of the existence of that dragon? β
"This ...... I really don't know for a while. Kevin scratched his head in surprise, "Why are you asking about this?" β
"Hmm...... That's my own business...... But since you don't know either, forget it for now. Let's change the question. You said earlier that your chief wanted to win me over...... But why did they know about my existence? β
"How can I know so much about the chief?" Kevin's answer this time was calm, "The chief has a lot of experience before, he has been a hunter, a guerrilla, and has some relations with the forces of various countries...... You haven't deliberately hidden yourself, and you still have such special abilities, it's not too much to find you. β
ββ¦β¦ That's right...... Hehe, it seems that I think I think a little too much of you. In Kevin's casual words, Helliga already knew the truth, "So...... Do you have any questions? β
"Nope." Surprisingly, Kevin didn't ask any questions, "My current investigation plan is going very well. β
"Yes......" Faced with this attitude, Hailiga didn't know what to say for a while. Just as he was about to say something more, a melodious harmonica sounded from the fishing dock.
"This tune is...... Where the stars are. Heliga heard the familiar melody, "Joshua seems to be very good at it...... Probably Estelle playing a tune...... She can't just drink too much and then see things and think about people, right? β
"Hmm...... Probably not, but with that Sherazade, anything is possible. Kevin, who knew the horror of Sherah's wine, shuddered, "Why don't you go and have a look?" β
ββ¦β¦ Okay, go. β
ββββββββββββββββββββββ-
The melodious melody came to an abrupt end. The girl in the setting sun looked up at the sunset with her somewhat reddened cheeks, but was interrupted by the applause from beside herβand when she turned around, Father Kevin and Haliga were standing behind her, clapping and saluting at the end of the song.
"You ......," Estelle said a little shyly, "that's a little bad...... The pitch is nowhere near as good as Joshua......"
"Well, it's already pretty good. It's rare for Estelle to have the hobbies that a girl should have. Heliga teased with a laugh.
"yes...... Compared to the people who cried after saying two words on the spaceship at that timeβ"
"-Oops, shut up." Estelle was in a hurry.
"Alright, Father Kevin, let's stop joking with her. After all, it's the last day, so enjoy the holiday. β
"That's right." Kevin nodded.
"You two...... Reconciled? Estelle asked strangely, she was also a little worried about what happened between these two people in the past two days, but she didn't expect that now they were getting along with each other, singing and harmonizing.
"Nothing happened to the two of us...... "Helliga denied it, but her eyes saw something, "Wait, Astelle, look at your back......"
"Huh?" Astelle turned away at the sound of the sound, and in the setting sun, a small boat was slowly drifting along with the flow of the lake......
