With that in mind, I let out a long sigh and make that exaggerated look like I was at a funeral.

The king asked, "Why does the duke sigh?" ”

I said, "Sir Bostex is indeed a great martial artist and a man of great respect, but what? Have you ever thought that he is almost eighty years old? ”

Bostex replied, "I am sixty-one years old. ”

I laughed out loud and said, "Almost, almost, it is said that time flies, and the time of about ten years to the age of eighty is gone in a blink of an eye..."

Vasilisa said, "It's been about twenty years, and you're rounding up so wrong. ”

I paused, regrouped, and said, "Is the average lifespan of a Sword and Shield Society knight sixty?" I'm afraid not. The old duke's age is here, and even if he becomes a Nine Hermits, I am worried that he will not be able to bear the pressure of high-intensity work. He should be an old man who is old in his old age, how can you bear to let him bear such a burden? Therefore, I suggest that the old man be relegated to the background, that he should eat and drink, and that I have the most suitable person to do all those troubles for the old man, and this man is named Milse...."

The king pointed at Neff and said, "Juggernaut, how old do you think Mr. Neff Overlord is this year?" ”

Neff is a human mage, not a blood clan, so the algorithm has a spell to slow down aging, and the difference is no more than ten years old. I replied, "He's in his forties, he looks so young.....

Neff laughed: "I'm sixty-one years old, the same age as Bostetus. ”

My face changed and I was astonished.

The king said, "Once we become the Nine Hermits, we will take secret medicine regularly to prolong our lives, which will allow us to live at least twice as many years as ordinary people." ”

I tried to look like I wasn't smiling, and said, "I see." ”

Norman said coldly: "Are you disappointed? ”

I said, "I'm just envious, you know, I, as the only human duke of the Black Coffin, was always agonizing over my own aging problems. Alas, don't mention it, don't mention it, I'll continue to talk about it, as if to imply that you gave me a secret potion..."

Norman said, "You're just making it explicit. ”

I looked up to the sky and laughed again, cheeky, and refused to answer.

The king said a word to one of the attendants, and the guard stepped back gracefully and quickly, and after a while he brought a small box, which he handed me directly.

I shouted, "Ah, what is this for?" It's ..... here."

The king replied, "The armies of the Sword and Shield Society are telling the story of you, especially at the end of the Battle of the Rift, where you single-handedly saved the lives of countless knights. There is a secret medicine that can help you live a long life for 10 years, but be aware that once you take it, you cannot take the same medicine again for 10 years, otherwise it will cause serious health problems. ”

I took it with joy, but I couldn't help but lament in a low voice.

Norman asked, "What's wrong again?" ”

I said, "Duke, you are very young and beautiful." Although she is a black woman with short hair and one eye, her facial features and figure are outstanding, and once she grows long hair and takes off her military uniform, it is the kind of combat weapon that makes people willing to die in her bed.

Norman replied, "Thank you for the compliment, but what I am more proud of is my sword prowess." ”

I replied, "My wife is also a famous beauty, and I intend to stay with her for the rest of my life, but after I have obtained such a secret medicine, I think that she will not be able to live forever, so I feel sad, and I think that in the future, in case.... Alas, ten years of life and death are boundless, without thinking, unforgettable, thousands of miles of lonely graves, and nowhere to talk about desolation. Words are good words, but how can people not hold back their tears...."

Norman said angrily, "Isn't it enough to give you one? Where did you get your tears? ”

I yawned, and the corners of my eyes moistened, Norman belonged to the younger of the Nine Hermits, and he was full of blood, and he glared at me with the eyes of a corrupt official.

The king smiled and ordered another one to be given to me. I tried to ask for it for my children, but the king politely refused on the pretext that it was not good for the children.

I thanked him again and again, and listened to Baudelaire: "Then, Booz, we ask Your Majesty to present the Duke's medal, the artifact, the key to the tower, and the right of passage, for Dunn is the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the country, and to-morrow morning you may go to the treasury of Ponsa, and know those who know you." You can also pick your own team. Dunn's power was extraordinary, and it would take a long time for you to take control. ”

Neff said, "On the evening of the third day, we will have a grand ceremony to officially announce your succession as duke." ”

I hurriedly said, "So, he is not a duke now?" ”

Nana shook her head and said, "Mr. Fishbone, that's not the case, the ceremony just announced that as long as he receives the medal from His Majesty and obtains authority, he will already be a duke." ”

I rushed to the doctor, took Bostetus' hand, and laughed loudly, "I'm so happy for you, brother Both. You see, we are both dukes with high skills, don't say it, the two of us are really alike. ”

Bo Si said indifferently: "Really? ”

I said, "Who do you defeat that.... The telekinesis blade used by Mirse is really powerful, in an instant, the flames and electricity fill a radius of twenty meters, where did you learn this telekinesis? I always feel like I'm coming from an unknown source...."

Norman said: "This sword is called extinction, it is an ancient school of thought blades, and I don't know anything about its roots, I don't know if you know, Your Majesty?" ”

The king said, "The ancient Sword and Shield Society of the Nine Hermits was divided into several factions, each with its own secrets. This extinction blade has been handed down from a family in a certain faction to the present, and it belongs to the secret sword of the advanced mind blade, and I haven't seen anyone use it for many years. ”

I said, "This thought blade.... But the origin is unknown, Your Majesty, I think we should be cautious and find out the ins and outs of this thought blade. It's not that we don't trust Brother Booz, it's that in these extraordinary times, we can't afford to let someone who has mastered a strange blade just become a duke..."

Nana suddenly said, "I remember, Mr. Fishbone, haven't you used this extinction blade yourself?" ”

I was startled and said, "You remember wrong, when did I...."

Nana: "I remember very well, it was during the search for the Seal Stone Fragment, you demonstrated it to me during one battle, and that year, when the Black Coffin celebrated the Feast of Cain, you performed it in front of everyone! ”

They all stared at me with cannibalistic eyes, as if I was full of bad intentions. This group of cannibalistic magnates, this group of cannibalistic capitalists, this cannibalistic society, this cannibalistic world.

I covered my forehead and said, "Ah, why don't I remember everything?" It seems that my dual personality schizophrenia amnesia has flareed up again. ”

Norman said, "Very well, are you okay now?" Where did you learn this blade? ”

I simply took it and said, "Yes! Yes, I discovered the blade from an ancient text, which, as far as I know, originated from a family called Helsin. ”

Baudelaire, Norman, and Neff exclaimed at the same time: "Hersin? Bostetus blinked, not uttering a word.

I said, "Yes, the Helsings, this family.... Is there something wrong? Hey? Could it be that this family has a very bad reputation in the Sword and Shield Society? Could it be that they were once a bunch of criminals? That's right! Wasn't that Longley Helsing the guy who killed Dunn? Be careful, be careful. I've always felt that there's a big conspiracy in there, and we can't let this family's fish slip through the net and infiltrate the top of the Sword and Shield Society... Hey, hey, hey...."

I'm sorry, Master Helsing, but I can only portray your whole family in a terrible way in order to prevent this Bostex from taking away the Duke of Mirse, which belongs to my brother Mirse.

I don't remember my dreams, but I always felt like I had been told that the Helsin family was not to be seen in the Sword and Shield Society. As long as I can get the Helsins on Bostetes, he won't want to be a hermit. Moreover, I always felt that Bostetus had a certain resemblance to Master Helsin, and perhaps the old white men all looked about the same, with white hair, white beard, and white skin, with a nose, and a pair of blue eyes.

Baudelaire asked, "Both, how do you answer what he said?" ”

Bostethus: "I also learned this blade from an ancient book. ”

I stared at him, he looked back at me, he was very calm, I couldn't find a flaw, I couldn't think of a reason to refute his lies, this trick was the same way, and the other was really old-fashioned.

Norman smiled, "Indeed, I have also searched for the ancient ruins of the Sword and Shield Society in various parts of the Golden State, and excavated the lost blades among them. ”

I said, "But there is also a possibility - Bostetus belongs to the Helsings!" Shouldn't you... Do you act cautiously? ”

Bostetus bowed and said, "Regarding my background, Your Majesty can send someone to investigate thoroughly. ”

"I have thoroughly investigated, son of Gambo Vincent and Meme Clezio, you were far away at the Coal Gate when the Helsings were torn apart, and the Vincents and the Clezio have never crossed paths with the Helsins, or even with any of the noble families of Pensac. The trajectory and dossier of your life are clear and impeccable. We have always been cautious and trusting in the selection of the Nine Hermits. ”

Bostethus: Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

I was in a hurry to speak, but Norman said angrily, "Longinus, what about yourself? You're also the Halsings family's mind, so you're not necessarily a member of the House of the Damned. Aren't you a more suspicious outsider than an old friend who has lived in our country for more than sixty years? ”

These people really can't talk, I'm a guest anyway, and I'm so strong. Well, it seems that I have to shut up for the time being, adopt a roundabout strategy, and find another way.

They began to award medals and swords, and I stole over to Vasilisa and whispered, "Hey, Sha." ”

Vasilissa: "Don't call it so intimate, I'm Vasilissa." ”

I said, "Sha, under what circumstances will you nine hermits be removed?" ”

Vasilisa said, "Don't think about it, give up." The Nine Hermits overrode any law and were only stripped of their titles if they were disloyal to the king. ”

What kind of bullshit rule is this? From this, it can be seen that the decay of the Sword and Shield Society has been deeply rooted and terminally ill.
