Chapter 11
"Okay, I see, I'll go in with Your Highness and have a look now." After He Ningzhou finished speaking, he walked into the Star Hall with Shen Xinghe.
In the glow room, as soon as Anlaisfu walked in, he anxiously asked about Lulith's situation, and the high priest in front of him looked as calm and calm as ever, compared to her composure, Anlaith was making a fuss, and I don't know if she had expected this raid or even if she didn't expect it, she thought that the ability of those invaders was not enough.
Lulith didn't answer immediately, turned to look at the crystal ball on the astrological table, and gently waved the phantom night in her palm, the starry sky above slowly changed, and Anlais kept watching her from behind, feeling that she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if this time the incident had already been expected by her and made her a little helpless.
Anlais didn't speak again, until the person in front of him lowered his head slightly, and her ethereal voice sounded in his ears, "I didn't predict their actions, but they didn't invade here, because I set up an enchantment, and people who are not advanced in formation will not have the ability to crack it." ”
"We've now locked them up and asked them to tell the purpose of their trip," she said. ”
"No need," Lulith looked up, "I know their intentions, but," she said, turning to look at Anleth, her face expressionless, "Ann, this matter is not yet when you should know, you just need to understand that nothing happened at this time is beyond my expectations." ”
"Yes." Anlais nodded, "And what do you think we're going to do with them?" ”
"Let them go back."
"So, should I send some people to strengthen the guards here?"
"No, this won't happen again anytime soon."
"There should be guards in the Star Temple, why was it invaded?" Walking into the Star Palace, a saintess came to receive Shen Xinghe and the others, and when the three of them walked towards the Yaohui Room together, Shen Xinghe asked.
"I'm ashamed," the saint said, with a little guilt on her face, "because we have been too calm all these years, our guards have long since been slackened, and tonight is a five-year event, so we don't pay attention to the guards anymore. When one of our sisters found out that there was an enemy invasion, they actually only walked a short distance, and the sister raised the alarm and engaged an enemy, and the rest of his accomplices rushed desperately in the direction of the Yaohui Room, but unfortunately because of the barrier at the entrance, no one could break through, and it was not long before we were captured. ”
"So," Shen Xinghe pondered, "The purpose of the enemy's trip is to invade the Yaohui Room while the guards of the Star Hall are lax tonight?" That must be where the high priest was, and was there anything they could covet? ”
"I don't know," replied the holy woman, "and then Lord Hita and Lord Anrais came with troops, and Lord Hita took the five men away, and is now interrogating. Lord Anrais is still talking to Lulith in the Dawn room, and he should know something when he comes out. ”
Shen Xinghe knew that only An's family could communicate with the high priest, and the high priest would not meet anyone else. But he really wanted to meet that person, because she was about the only one who knew why he came into this world after he died.
When the three of them arrived at the door of the Yaohui Room, the Holy Maiden asked the two of them to leave later, Shen Xinghe looked up at the sky boredly, and then turned to the people around him, "Who do you think will be the one who will sneak attack tonight?" ”
He Ningzhou thought for a while, sighed lightly, and said, "It's not good to say." It's possible that our enemy nation wants to send someone to assassinate Lord Lulith, so that we don't have a Patronus. As for why we deliberately chose tonight, it should be because we have relaxed our vigilance because of years of peace. But......" He raised his head and looked at the night sky in the distance, his brows slightly locked, just like Shen Xinghe did every time he couldn't read his emotions, "I always feel that this time it's not so simple." ”
Shen Xinghe wanted to say that he felt the same way, but before he could say anything, he saw the door of Yaohui's room open, and then An Les walked out, and when he saw them, he greeted them, "Your Highness, He Ningzhou, you are also here." ”
"Ann," Shen Xinghe also greeted, "How is it, what did the high priest say?" ”
Speaking of this, Rao is Anles also showed a helpless expression, "Lord Lulith said that today's incident did not surprise her, and also said that we can't know the details of this matter now, let's let go of all the intruders." ”
"Yes," Shen Xinghe pursed his lips, "Since we can't know any news, it means that the purpose of the sneak attack is also something we can't think of?" "Because if you can think of it, you don't need to hide it.
"That's right." Anlais nodded, "The reason I can think of is an assassination, but it can be ruled out." Other than that, it's stealing, and what we don't know yet is what we're stealing. ”
"Well," Shen Xinghe agreed with him, "you should have seen those five invaders when you came here before, can you tell from their outfits which country and which organization they belong to?" ”
An Les's expression at this time actually showed a little admiration, "This is also the clever thing about that organization, because the five people are all wearing black night clothes, and there is nothing on them that can prove their identity, it seems that their leader deliberately did not want to leave any clues for us to find out." ”
"I see, and sure enough, it's not time for us to know. Since the high priest knew this, we don't have to bother for a while. "Shen Xing River Road.
Anlais let out a breath, the guilt on his face was similar to that of the previous saint, "Speaking of which, this is also the negligence of our guards, so that the enemy has a chance to take advantage of it, and tonight we have only slightly strengthened the guards of the palace, and there is no strict restriction on who enters the city." It seems that we must pay more attention in the future. ”
"Ann," Shen Xinghe Sun looked at An Lais, "Can I meet the High Priest?" ”
Anles was a little surprised by his statement, but quickly relieved, "That's right, when Lord Lulith thinks it's time to meet someone, she will order someone from the Charles family, who was in charge of communicating with her at the time, to inform that person, and she doesn't see the others. ”
"Oh." Although Shen Xinghe was disappointed, he didn't mention it again.
"Alright," Anles stretched out his arm, "I'm going to go to Nozomi now, Your Highness, if you don't have enough fun, you can continue to play with Heningzhou." At this time, he finally regained his original look, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of teasing.
It also made Shen Xinghe want to give him a roll of his eyes, "No need, I'm going back with He Ningzhou, it's too late." Shen Xinghe felt that tonight was actually very satisfying, not only because he had a good time eating and having fun, but also because of the sudden situation that added to the excitement.
"Okay."
After the event, Shen Xinghe's life was as usual, and since the last time he learned an auxiliary magic, he continued to practice magic. One night two weeks later, Shen Xinghe walked back to his room after dinner and was about to continue practicing magic when he heard someone knock on the door twice, and then Paul Roth opened the door and appeared in the room.
"Why are you here?" Shen Xinghe got up to greet him, sat down at the table with him, and poured him a cup of tea, "What's the matter?" ”
The man didn't answer, but took a sip of tea, and then replied briskly: "That's right, because you have already done the most basic magic learning, and the magic value has also been greatly improved, and then you have to practice for the series you belong to, because you are a healing department, so I plan to ask someone who is also a healing department to tutor you for a while." ”
"Who is it?" Shen Xinghe knew that Bao was naturally from the attack system, and the other person from the treatment department who he wanted to invite must be the same Shuimu clan as himself.
"Do you want to guess?" Paul Roth looked at Shen Xinghe and raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of cunning.
Shen Xinghe was very useless about this indecent look, "I can't guess." ”
The man stopped teasing him, "It's your second brother, that is, His Royal Highness Govis, he has passed the adult examination this year, I heard that he is going to travel next, only the last three months are relatively leisurely, I would like to ask him to give you some demonstrations in the initial stage of your study of healing magic." In addition, your eldest brother, our Highness Kriya will also come along. Isn't it a pleasure that Your Highness will soon see the two elder brothers? After speaking, he looked at Shen Xinghe with a smile.
Shen Xinghe thought that if it was the previous Thorode, he would be very happy, but ...... But now that the owner of this body has been replaced by himself, and those two are close relatives, it is not known how many times more difficult it is for him to pretend to be the former Thorod in front of them. Also, they took their own brother's body, and if they knew the truth, they didn't know how they would react.
Involuntarily sighed softly, Shen Xinghe also looked at Paul Roth, "Do my two brothers know about my amnesia?" ”
"Yes," Paulrot looked at him, his gaze becoming gentle, "they are worried about you too, they used to be very good to you. ”
"Yes." Shen Xinghe looked away, a little distracted, his brows furrowed slightly unconsciously, and his expression was sad and gloomy that he had never noticed.
The more they treated Thorod, the more they made Shen Xinghe feel guilty.
He didn't know that his abnormal reaction to the arrival of his two brothers had already been seen by the people around him, but he didn't say it; He didn't know, in fact, the man understood what he was really worried about, so although he didn't leave after saying what he wanted to explain, he chose to accompany him silently when he was sad.
"That's right," Shen Xinghe was silent for a long time before he slowly came back to his senses, thought of another thing and asked Paulrot: "After that, my second brother taught me magic, then do you want to go back?" ”
"Where are you going?" The man blinked innocently and bewildered.
"It's your family's fiefdom."
Paulrot wanted to say something to tease him, but he thought it was better to forget it, "I am a general sent by the king to garrison Phantom Night City, and I am also your magic teacher, and I will not return to the fiefdom unless there are special circumstances." In addition, please ask your second brother to teach you for a long time, at most a month and a half, and then I will be in charge, because learning magic is different from martial arts, you need to demonstrate it in person, as long as the magic value is high enough, and learn the corresponding magic book. In fact, although the attack and healing systems are different, the essence of magic will not change, and the magician of the healing department is also equivalent to a healer. Then as a healer, you naturally have to have a heart to help the world. ”
His statement is very similar to the "martial arts" of Heningzhou's education, which makes Shen Xinghe recognize it and be full of respect at the same time. He nodded, and couldn't help but smile, and his voice was much softer, "Then, do you know when my two brothers will come?" ”
"In about three days, His Highness Kriya will first go to His Highness Govis's fiefdom and come with him."
"I see."
In the martial arts class the next day, because He Ningzhou asked Shen Xinghe to follow the pattern of doing Zama for a few days and then practicing the basic movements, Shen Xinghe directly started to practice kicks today, from straight kicks to horizontal kicks to side kicks.
"By the way, I guess I told you about your two brothers."
“…… Yes? ......" Shen Xinghe was concentrating on doing side kicks, and the person around him who had never opened his mouth suddenly said a word, but at this time, he only landed on one leg, lost his balance for a while, and his body was about to fall to the ground!
Shen Xinghe couldn't help but shout, closed his eyes tightly, but unexpectedly, a strong wind suddenly hit his body at the moment of falling, and then he was held up by a strong force, and when he came back to his senses, he found that it was the person who was originally at a distance from him who rushed over and caught him at a very fast speed.
"......" Shen Xinghe opened his mouth, looking at the face that was close at hand, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
And the man sighed after stabilizing his body, although he didn't let go of his hand, he shook his head, and said with an expression of "hate iron but not steel": "You, Zama has been so long, why are you still as stupid as you were on the first day?" ”
......: "Obviously, you suddenly spoke before and scared people, and you still said that others were stupid?" Shen Xinghe didn't know what to say before, but now he was made by this person's words and didn't want to talk to him. Shen Xinghe pursed his lips with a cold face, and broke away from his support to distance himself from him.
The man continued in a brisk tone, "What about you, do you know that they are coming to see you?" ”
"Yes." Shen Xinghe's voice was very low, and his eyes looking at him were rare and cold, which meant that if the person in front of him knew each other, he should not say anything more.
However, He Ningzhou didn't know how to read people's faces or didn't pay attention to what he meant, and said to himself: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen them for a long time. However, let me warn you," he blinked mysteriously, still looking at ease under Shen Xinghe's icy gaze, "You'd better be mentally prepared when you see your eldest brother." ”
"Why?" Shen Xinghe's expression didn't change much, but his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Because ......" He Ningzhou paused decently, as if the next words were very important, but he raised his eyebrows when he met Shen Xinghe's eyes, and said solemnly: "You will know when the time comes." ”
"......" Shen Xinghe tugged at the corners of his lips, and was very "surprised" to find that there were times when he didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. Shen Xinghe really didn't look at him again, turned around and faced him with his back, and continued his practice.
He didn't know that the people behind him had a bad smile on their faces that couldn't be concealed, and they were a little cunning like watching a good show.
"Your Highness, get up."
The person in bed was unresponsive.
"Your Highness, get up quickly."
Shen Xinghe, who was still in a dream, felt a little noisy in his ears, and seemed to have been pushed a few times on his body, so he impatiently reached out and waved it away, turned over and continued to sleep. Really, it's rare for him to take a nap......
"Still not up?" The person who came seemed annoyed, squinted at Shen Xinghe's "sweet" sleeping face for a few seconds, and then ......
“…… Hmm...... "The mouth and nose were suddenly covered, Shen Xinghe had difficulty breathing for a while, and finally woke up after a few struggles, he vigorously pulled away the hands on his face that did not belong to him, and the person took it back angrily. Shen Xinghe straightened up and rubbed his eyes, only then did he see that the person next to the bed turned out to be Paulrot.
"What are you doing...... Shen Xinghe's voice was still vague, his eyes were closed uncontrollably, and he wanted to lie down again after complaining, thinking that this person would never bother him at this time before, what kind of nerves did he have today......
"You're still sleeping!" Paulrot sat on the bed angrily and held his arm, stopping him from lying down, "The two highnesses have already arrived at the study in Heningzhou, why don't you go and see them soon!" ”
“…… What, what? ......" Shen Xinghe's brain at this time was not very clear, and it took a long time to understand what he meant, "You mean that my eldest brother and second brother have arrived?" Have you all arrived at the palace? ”
"yes." Paulrot let go of him angrily and got up and stood on the ground.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier, I could go out to meet them." Shen Xinghe couldn't help but hide his mouth and doze off again, shook his head to wake himself up, and then got out of bed, looking at the person in front of him with an unkind face, "I always have to comb my hair first and then change my clothes." Because he had slept, Shen Xinghe was still wearing pajamas, and his hair was a little messy.
Paul Roth smiled when he heard his words, "It's not necessary to pick them up, Heningzhou has already done it, because they want to surprise you, and they are very low-key, and they are not foreign envoys, so there is no need to be too grand." As for you changing your clothes and combing your hair, you don't need to, and I don't think Your Highness Kriya will like you much when he sees you now. After saying that, he laughed too.
"......" Shen Xinghe couldn't help but tug at the corners of his lips, why did he think that big brother was so weird when he said this? This strengthened his belief that he had to take care of his image before meeting people, so he bypassed Paul Roth and walked towards the mirror, "Don't talk nonsense, I'll change my clothes first, you go out and wait for me." ”
"Okay." Paul Roth didn't insist, so he walked out according to his words, Shen Xinghe could see in the mirror that he was still smiling, and he really wanted to send a roll of his eyes.
At this time, in the study of Hening Prefecture, the atmosphere was much more solemn, and the three people present all had extremely serious expressions.
He Ningzhou looked at the person sitting in front of him.
The light purple hair looked crystal clear in the afternoon sun, and this color that should have been dreamy and gentle did not soften his temperament; His facial lines are not deep, but they are angular, and he is just sitting there at this time, expressionless, but the natural kingly momentum is faintly diffused, making people feel the oppression.
He is the only Phantom Clan LPH Phantom Clan among the three princes of the Saint-Yi Kingdom, and he is also the heir to the throne who has been determined since birth, the crown prince of the Saint-Yi Kingdom, Kriya.
One of the biggest features of Kriya's appearance is that the color of his eyes changes according to his mood, the colors are purple and red, and his eyes are like the color of blood at this time, which means that he is in a very bad mood.
"Now we're going to see the man whose soul came from nowhere, but who took possession of my brother's body, right? Do you want me to treat him like I did to Sawyer? ”
He Ningzhou could hear the sarcasm and anger in his words, but he faced him with an attitude that was neither arrogant nor humble, "Lord Lulisi also said that this matter is fate, medium, and destined to happen, and no one can change it, since you can't change it, why don't you choose to accept it?" I also regret that His former Highness no longer lives in this world, but you must know that there is no way for us to get him back. Speaking of this, he exhaled, "Your Highness, I hope that you can treat your current Highness as your own brother, and treat him as you did to your former Highness." ”
Kriya couldn't help but sneer, not agreeing with He Ningzhou's statement at all, "My brother is no longer here, and you still want me to treat an outsider like my own brother?" In my eyes, he doesn't even count as a stand-in for my brother, and since his soul has taken my brother's body, I want to see if I kill him and let my brother come back! ”
As soon as his voice fell, He Ningzhou's face turned cold for a moment, and his momentum was not inferior to him at all, "You'd better not have such thoughts, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to afford the consequences, if you don't believe it, you can ask Lord Lulisi." He Ningzhou froze, and his voice was much softer, more like a persuasion: "Your Highness, I also know that this is very difficult for you, I don't want you to use him as a stand-in for your previous Highness, but from his own point of view, I will see him as your own brother." I want to say a few words for him, you must know that he did not mean to come and snatch His Highness's body, his body in that world has died, and the current world does not have any of his relatives, and it is not even the same as the model of his original world, but he has to survive in this completely strange world, and spend ten years to learn what ordinary people have to learn for more than seventy years, and there may be some unforeseen dangers and challenges waiting for him, I think if it is not a major event, he does not need his soul to come over. In addition, Your Highness, I have never told you, in fact, Lord Lulith said that if there is no soul crossing, the previous Highness is no longer in this world. Your relatives are gone, and there is another person with his face and body who appears in front of you, and treats you just like the same person before, do you know how many people can't ask for it, I hope you can cherish it. Also, on the first day he came, he said that he wanted to see you and other relatives, and I think it was because he was ready to treat the relatives of this body as his own relatives, and he would be glad to have relatives in this world to love him as well. ”
