Chapter Seventy-Five: A Letter from Vincent's Brother
When he set off for Feihu City, one of the five major transportation hub cities of the Demon Race, Alph suddenly felt that Vincent was really ...... A person who is not very lucky......
The days have to be pushed back to the day of snow clearing, after eating the principal's snowball on the waist, Alver, Vinson and Carl honestly finished their work, in order to apologize for the distraction, Carl proposed to take the initiative to find the principal to get some more work, anyway, idle is idle, the school has three days off, and they have more time to play in the snow.
This trick really worked, the black-faced headmaster looked a lot better after hearing Carl's apology and offering to help, and the three of them joined in transporting the snow that the teachers had removed from the roof, and at lunchtime, Vincent had completely recovered his previous lively state, and proposed to build the biggest snowman in the school in the afternoon, and Carl even asked the cook for a big carrot the size of Elver's head to make his nose (completely coquettish).
However, as soon as she had put down her rice bowl and had not had time to deliver the plates to the cutlery recycling office, Ms. Milan came over with a huge envelope with a magnificent dark pattern on the cover and a crown pattern on the fire paint.
"Have you eaten enough?" Lady Milan smirked as she stroked Karl's hair, "Vincent, your letter." ”
Vincent took the letter, looked at the envelope for a moment, and swallowed.
"Unwrap it up!" Alver urged, "haven't you been waiting for a reply?" ”
"I just wanted to push a snowman...... Vincent took a few deep breaths, "well, that doesn't matter. ”
Karl propped his head and lowered his eyelids to play with the spoon, and Alver leaned behind Vincent, wanting to read the letter with Winther, but was stopped by Lady Milan: "Elver, the dark pattern on the letter is not a decoration, it is to ensure that when the envelope is opened, only the recipient will be able to read the magic mark. ”
Alver smacked her tongue and stepped back into her seat, while Ms. Milan said, "You can take it out of the envelope and look at it casually, don't be too nervous," and helped the children carry the plates away. Vincent looked up at Lady Milan's back, then at Alver and Carl, and complained, "Isn't this a precautionary measure?" ”
"After all, this letter is from the demon royal family, Brother Vincent, you are from a noble family, you should know a lot of red tape in the royal family. Karl, who was sitting across from Vincent, stood up and craned his neck, "What is written, take a look." ”
The envelope contained a letter, a silk edict, and three small magical badges that at first glance looked like trinkets used to decorate the collar or tie of a mantle, shaped like an eye, with a smooth seven-pointed star embossed in the center of the front, and a number, the names of three children, and a circle of small charms engraved on the back. The parchment on which the letter was written was large and heavy, with a beautiful border on it, and the letter itself had the scent of sandalwood, and the content simply explained that no matter when they arrived in the city of Feihu, the first thing to do was to ask the lord of the city in the name of Mr. Crent, and the reason for Vincent to think for himself must be enough for Vincent to stay in the castle of the lord of the city for two days after arriving in the city of Feihu. Valen's lady holds a banquet in the city, during which she invites all the guests in the castle, and during the banquet she finds a way to avoid the others to find and approach Serra Valen's son, Yeda Valen, and gives him the coat of arms, and he will give the children the next task.
On the back of the parchment, there is a small section that is completely different from the front lettering, which looks like a child's writing stroke by stroke.
"Dear brother, if you are in a hurry to stimulate your instincts, it is best to set off as soon as possible, because at this moment, I also need your help very much, but I will not force you, if you are not in a hurry or feel difficult, then it doesn't matter if you wait for three or five years to go to Feihu City, after leaving Hufei City, please be sure not to reveal your whereabouts and the task I gave you, Yeda will give you enough disguised property, I think the money is no problem to buy a castle, but you have to pay me back later, that is what I provided. ”
The silk of the edict must have been of fine material, mixed with unicorns, mermaid hair, and Shangji's bird's tail hair, but there was only one sentence on it: "His Majesty the Great King Tobaia Bellier Agavalon Biller" The red seal on the name is a magic circle, and Alph has learned that the pattern of this seal can only be stamped on the name of the current reigning king, and if it is stamped with any other name or blank space, a black hole will be burned in that place, and if it is an abdicated or deceased king, the color of this seal will turn gray-black, so as to prevent someone from falsely transmitting the edict.
It seems that the edict was used to make up content for several children to protect themselves in times of extreme urgency.
"Your brother the king...... What a bold man......" Carl fiddled with the badge engraved with his name, "If you write a Zen position for you, won't he be dumbfounded, Brother Vincent?"
"You don't know this, do you!" Vincent carefully folded the letter and edict, and pinned his badge to his clothes, "In the Demon Clan, abdication, abdication, establishment of a new king, etc., these huge changes, this kind of content is not something that can be carried with the material of silk and a magic seal to prevent counterfeiting." ”
"What kind of craft does that have to be?" Karl wondered.
"I don't know, if you are not a king, you are not qualified to know this, anyway, the small things, the red seal on this is enough. Vincent shrugged, "Let's go to the Headmaster now, after all, we have to go to Feihu City under the guise of his old man." ”
There was incense burning in the headmaster's office, and in the smoke, old Krent frowned and flipped through the letter several times, and Alph had reason to think that the headmaster was very distrustful of the demon king, because Vincent had said that his king's brother was only thirteen years old this year, and the letter did not reveal too much content, and the children were not allowed to disclose it to the public, and even the edict was prepared for the children just in case.
The three children looked at Old Krent, who pursed his lips and did not speak.
It was Vincent who was the first to break the silence, using a rare honorific title, "Mr. Headmaster, I know you will be worried, but as a nobleman, I have an obligation to serve the king, and as your student, I need to make myself stronger and better, if anything happens, I can sacrifice my life to protect Alph and return him safely, so I beg you to let me go." ”
"You're a child I raised, and I have reason to worry about you, stinky boy. The headmaster stared at Vincent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "I think the three of you are too good to wear a pair of pants, then you should all know Alver's background and mission, I said I'm worried about you, and I'm not surprised that you think I'm more worried about Elf, but there has never been any tyrant rule the New World that the Divine Envoy said, and I have long had great doubts about the so-called Elph's mission of the Divine Envoy, and I already think that the Divine Envoy is deceiving me." ”
Carl let out a loud sneeze, startling everyone at the sound.
"Incense ......," Karl said with teary eyes, "Grandpa Krent, it's too nasal ......"
"Sorry...... I forgot there's a dragon powder here that will disgust the dragons......" Krent poured some water into the censer, using an enchantment to encircle the entire incense burner to prevent the smoke from escaping. "In short, you are all my children, and I will be worried about anyone who carries out such an unclear political task in exchange for a little knowledge. ”
Vincent's mouth opened, but he still didn't speak.
"I'll let you go, in fact, the things you need for this trip have been prepared in general a long time, as His Majesty King Tobaya said, let's leave as soon as possible, and you can do it in twenty minutes, as for going to Feihu City to ask for a meeting with the city lord, I will use the old people's pope to give a gift to a friend, and now that Lady Milan is helping you load the car, I will take a few minutes to write a letter to the city lord of Philadelphia, and you will also prepare the dormitory." ”
