Chapter 2080: Ash Annihilation at Dawn (12)

"Hey, my little leopard!" Arriving at the diner's box, Palamides called out to little Hal as soon as they met.

"Dad!" the leopard boy was also very happy to see his father, and slowly walked over from his seat with his tail wagged: "It's been a long time, meow!"

"Hey, hey~" Palamides picked up his seven-year-old son and held it high, and said with a smile on his face, "I've kept you waiting!"

"So Daddy finally won the battle, and became the Knight of the Round Table?" asked Hal as if he didn't know anything.

"No, lost. Palamides grinned, "I lost to your big brother Seefer in the ring. There shouldn't be anything for me on the exam side for the time being. ＂

"Huh, lost, Brother Zhalfir is better than Dad?"

"Hmm...... The same cannot be said either. Palamides smiled awkwardly, "That dead-eyed kid didn't want to give up the game anyway, so I let it go." Anyway, that's it, if I admit defeat, I admit defeat, and there is no need to continue to fight him. ＂

"It's meow. The leopard man boy smiled bitterly: "Dad is reluctant to beat my brother's meow." ＂

"Hey, hey, hey------" Palamides put his youngest son back in his chair and reached out to rub little Hal's cat's head, "But this is a secret between us, don't talk nonsense in front of your brother, okay? Don't look at Zhalfir's kid, his self-esteem is very strong." ＂

"Got it!" replied the leopard boy with a smile.

"I can't stand you guys. Vivien poured cold water on the side.

"What about Zhalfir and Segrade?" said Paramidis, sitting down beside his youngest son, "don't tell me they can be late for such an important family dinner. What the hell are those two stinky boys thinking?"

"Ha," Vivien also found a place to sit down, and sighed: "Zhalfir's words, it is estimated that it is because the transformation of that black monster has worried the people of Great Britain, and now they are writing a lot of reports, and it is estimated that the British side does not plan to release people until the report is finished." Segrad ...... He had told me that he wanted to repair the scimitar that had broken in battle, but I told him that there was nothing I could do without tools and a furnace, so he took the broken weapon to another blacksmith. I wonder how long it will take to get back?"

"Did you tell them about the family dinner?" asked Palamides.

"I told you...... Vivien wanted to say she did, but suddenly she wasn't so sure: "Uh...... I should have told them?"

"Hey, that's fine...... A drop of sweat broke out of Palamides' forehead. Although his wife is a cautious scientist, she seems to be nervous in some things in her daily life, which is in great contrast to her performance in the laboratory.

"No problem, I'll contact Arthur again. The people of Great Britain should have the means to be able to communicate with the candidates of the Round Table Trials anytime and anywhere. Vivien then walked out of the box.

"Whew. Palamides shrugged his shoulders as he watched his wife leave, and then began to talk to his youngest son: "So, how are you doing?

"It's okay meow. The Leopard Man replied with a smile, "Hal has a lot of fun with Husky every day." Uncle Evil Star would occasionally take us out to play, and every day was a lot of fun. ＂

"Yes. It's great to play with friends. Palamides continued to play with his youngest son's kitten face and smiled. The leopard hair on the leopard boy is fluffy and soft, and there is a very fragrant smell, it is estimated that he has taken a good bath before coming to dinner. Now little Hal is like a well-washed plush doll, and Palamides is a little tempted to pick up his little son and touch it like a cat.

"Where's your friend little Husky, doesn't he come to dinner with his mother?" asked Palamides again.

"No, Husky's mom has another dinner party to attend tonight, so she brought Husky over for meow. Hal replied, "It's a shame not to come along." ＂

"Yes. Then we have time to invite the two of them to come over and play, how about a barbecue in the suburbs next time?"

"Okay meow. The leopard boy replied with a smile, his tail wagging even harder.

"Are you a puppy?" Palamides couldn't help but smile funny, "You've been with Husky for too long, and you've learned his habits?"

"Hey, hey, hey...... Little Hal laughed as he drilled into his father's arms, and said coquettishly: "Anyway, how long will Dad stay in Egypt? Can't you go back to Great Britain soon? Mom and Aunt Lianyin are burying their heads in researching something every day, and placing Hal and Husky in Uncle Kay's house Meow." Hal doesn't want to stay at Uncle Kay's house all the time, and Dad hurry back to Britannia. ＂

"Well------" Palamides thought for a moment, and did not directly agree to his son. That's right, the ring is over, he is disqualified from the finals, and he has nothing to do until the final champion is decided in the ring of the round table trial. He didn't even want to continue to participate in the Round Table Trials, and he didn't have any special wishes to achieve anyway, so it would be better to obey King Arthur's arrangement and become an "Honorary Knight of the Round Table".

But that doesn't mean he can leave Africa. There's still work to be done here. On the one hand, he has not yet promised Prince Said about the crusade against Moby Dick, the desert whale, and on the other hand, he has not completely dissociated himself from Daddy Sphinx, and the ruby [Heart of Africa] he holds in his hand is still one of the targets of Daddy Sphinx, as long as Palamedis still holds the Heart of Africa, Daddy Sphynx will definitely come to trouble him.

Going back to Great Britain in this situation, staying with little Hal and little Husky, would only bring unnecessary trouble to those children, to Vivien, and even to Great Britain. This is the only thing that Palamides wants to avoid anyway.

So he had to stay in Egypt for a while, in the name of the Round Table Trial candidates, and continue to observe the development of events.

"Dad has unfinished business here in Egypt that must be done. Then Palamedis said, "So, little Hal, my good son, will you bear with me a little longer, and when all is done, Dad will go back to Great Britain to accompany you." ＂

"Hmm...... Okay meow. The empathetic leopard boy was not angry with his father, but smiled sweetly.

"Oh my God...... It's so cute!" The big cat then excitedly picked up his little son and lifted him high.

"I'm dizzy...... Dad, don't meow like this, ------" The leopard boy was lifted up by his father and shook his head dizzy.

"What are you doing?" Vivien walked in from outside the box, just in time to see Palamides playing with the cat------ or rather, with her son. She gave Palamides a blank look: "Don't hold little Hal around like a toy, children's bones are softer, you shake like this, what if one of his bones breaks?"

"There won't be such a thing," said Paramidis, laughing like a child who had not grown up, "I didn't lift Segrad a few years old like this before, and I didn't see the child's bones fall apart." Hey, hey, hey, they're all the children of warriors, and it's a matter of course that they're sturdy, how can they fall apart so easily. ＂

"But it's so uncomfortable...... Little Hal was shaken and whispered.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Palamides stopped lifting his son and shook it, and put the little leopard down: "All right, enough is enough." Can you still eat?"

"Uh, that's fine. The leopard man boy quickly recovered, and said with a wry smile: "It was so funny just now, my brother has never lifted Hal like this, and Dad will lift Hal high next time." ＂

"Hey, okay, next time. "The leopard warrior rubbed his seven-year-old son's cat head almost dotingly.

Vivien watched from the sidelines and didn't speak. She knew that Hal Jr. was not her and Palamides' biological son, and that Hal Jr. had been adopted by the couple when he was still a baby, and that Palamides had been reduced to a stone statue in the battle for seven years. Palamides didn't spend much time with his younger son. Now Palamides seems to want to make up for the regret of not being able to get along with his youngest son for seven years, so he will hold little Hal in the palm of his hand and cherish it. In contrast, although they can see each other often, Vivien has been very distant from her younger son for the past seven years, leaving little Hal in the care of Zhalfir and Segrade, but she rarely stays with the child herself. As the child's parents, Vivien was probably not as good as Palamides.

"Dad," Vivien pondered and reflected, and the leopard man young Syfer also pushed the door in, "Aunt Vivian------ and our cute little Harmeow." ＂

"Brother Zhalfir!" The little leopard saw his brother coming, and immediately wagged his tail happily: "It's been a long time since I saw meow." ＂

"It's not that long. The young leopard man leaned over and rubbed his brother's head, in a very similar way to his father, and indeed had the genetics of Palamides: "Have you had a good meow lately?

"Hal hasn't caused trouble for his mother!" said the leopard boy with his tongue out, "Hal has been playing with Husky lately, and has barely left Uncle Kay's mansion." ＂

"Meow, that's really a problem for Prince Kai. Zhalfir said thoughtfully, "Anyway, Aunt Vivien has a plan to separate the children from the institute?"

"Uh," as if seen through it, Vivien froze. She immediately calmed down, hiding the shock that passed by for a moment, and said with a smile: "There are [certain plans] on the British side that I need to take over, and the safety of the children cannot be guaranteed during the research process, so I sent them to Prince Kai's house to take care of them." ＂

"Is there such a thing?" Palamides also glanced at Vivien curiously, "Why haven't you told me about it?" Let's hope it's not a dangerous study. ＂

"Not dangerous...... I should say that the study has passed, and it is almost time to enjoy the [results] of the research. Vivien said thoughtfully, "I'll explain this to you in detail, and I'll talk about it later." ＂

"Where are you going to say it?" said Paramidis, smirking suddenly, "I wish you hadn't talked about such mood-wracking topics while we got down to business...... ＂

Vivien knew what Palamides was trying to say, so she gave the big cat a blank look, "You pervert." ＂

"Anyway, isn't Segrade here yet?" Paramidis laughed mischievously, then digressed, "Where is that kid running now, can you contact him?"

He said he was going to meow right away. Zhalfir said, "I should be on my way by now." ＂

"It's already meow. I saw Segrade push the door in and interrupt the conversation. He was also carrying a large cloth bag behind his back, which appeared to be a heavy pile of metal objects that made a tinkling sound as the leopard youth walked.
