Chapter 12: Memory, Box
"We will swear allegiance to the Dragon Castle and the castle master." Hearing this, Yuma and Nangong Ling'er clasped their fists with both hands, knelt on one knee again, and said in unison.
They knew that from now on, they would no longer be members of the family, but retainers of the Dragon Castle, loyal to the Dragon Castle and never betrayed.
Yuehong's heart was quite uneasy, he didn't expect that Yuma and Nangong Ling'er had just entered the Royal Dragon Fort now, these are two first-class masters, it's a pity......
Unfortunately, it can't be used by him.
Yuehong knew very well that this kind of place had no place for him to speak, if he was Wanyan Zheng, there might be some possibility, but he was not, and he was soft-spoken.
What's more, in his opinion, this time they came over, in fact, they just came to fill the faΓ§ade and go through the motions, one is to show the importance that Dragon Castle attaches to the two of them, and the other is to get to know each other, and they will be colleagues in the future.
If nothing else, Yuma and Nangong Ling'er will still become Ning Rong's personal guards like in the anime.
"Ah Hong, I heard from Madame, you have recovered from your illness, how do you feel now? What do you remember? At this moment, Wan Yanzang suddenly turned his head to look at Yuehong and asked.
"Huh?" Yuehong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Wan Yanzang to suddenly ask about himself, and immediately replied, "Everything is fine, but I can't remember many things clearly, and Father Lao is worried." β
I don't know why, Yuehong always felt that Yan Zang's question seemed to have some special meaning.
A hint of contemplation appeared in the tiger's eyes, and Wan Yanzang groaned slightly, glanced at the old man on the side, and said, "Bring things up." β
Hearing this, everyone was a little curious, wasn't it the matter of entering the castle, why did they suddenly jump here.
Yuehong was also a little curious, and his intuition told him that this matter was eighty percent related to him.
After a while, the old man returned, still holding a square box made of metal, which seemed to have not been touched for a long time, and it was covered with dust.
Wipe the box clean, the original appearance of the box suddenly revealed, very exquisite, engraved with many delicate patterns, slightly heavy.
Strangely enough, however, the box seemed to be a single piece, with no holes around it that could have been keyholes, and no mechanism indicating that the box could be opened.
"Ah Hong, do you remember this box?" Wan Yan Zang looked at Yue Hong and asked, at the same time, Wan Yan Long and the others also looked at Yue Hong together, their eyes were inexplicable.
Only Ning Rong knows a little bit of the truth, this box is exactly what Wan Yanzang brought back with him when he took that child back to Yulong Castle, and it was a mysterious thing left by that clan.
Wan Yanzang and she had tried many methods, but they had not been able to open the box, perhaps as the man said, the key to opening the box was in that child, but they had also found clues in this regard, but they still hadn't found anything.
Looking at this metal box, Yuehong was so confused that he couldn't remember clearly, and asked me what it was and what it was, it was really ......
But Yuehong keenly felt that if he could get what Wanyanzang wanted, he might get a good opportunity...... To put it bluntly, it's a reward......
Although he didn't have the slightest impression of it, Yuehong wanted to try it and see if he could find any clues.
However, just when Yuehong came into contact with the metal box, a mutation protruded.
As soon as his hand touched, Yue Hong suddenly let out a scream as if he had been struck by lightning, and immediately covered his head, his body curled up slightly.
"Third brother (third brother), are you okay?" Wan Yan Xiu and Wan Yan Long spoke at the same time, and their expressions were a little worried.
"No, it's okay," Yue Hong gradually relaxed in front of him, the impact was only an instant, and soon it was gone, and then a memory fragment suddenly appeared in Yue Hong's mind, "Box...... Puzzle, Diagram ......"
This box, he's seen ......
Hell yes!
Yuehong was a little stunned in her heart, where did this memory come from!?
Just as he was about to ask the system, what was going on, Wan Yanzang suddenly asked, "Hong'er, what happened?" β
Others cast curious glances, and there were also deep thoughts and explorations, which were meaningful.
Ning Rong's beautiful eyes flickered, thoughtful.
Hearing this, Yue Hong suddenly came back to his senses, temporarily pressed the bizarre thing in his heart, and replied truthfully: "Back to my father, when my son touched this box, he suddenly felt that his mind was stabbed, and then out of thin air there was an unfamiliar memory, which was about this metal box. β
Hearing Yue Hong's words, Wan Yan Zang was slightly surprised, and then frowned and pondered, staring at Yue Hong tightly, seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, he moved away after half a sound, muttered for a while, and said: "Try it, if you can really open this box, it will be a great achievement." β
"Yes." Yue Hong promised and took the metal box.
Reaching out and groping at the top of the box, after a while, a small square was moved.
That's a puzzle!
Yuehong didn't know what was going on, only that in the extra memory, there seemed to be a person who was teaching himself how to recover this puzzle piece by hand, and when he opened the box, that person was shrouded in a black robe, wearing a mask, which made it impossible to see his true face, he seemed to have said something else, but it was a little vague, and Yuehong didn't hear it clearly.
Following the memory, bursts of familiar feelings reached the fingertips, and the pieces of the puzzle gradually returned to their original places under Yuehong's hands, and a rough pattern gradually emerged.
The crowd stared at the top of the box.
Finally......
Click!
In the silent hall, the sound of gears turning suddenly sounded.
Immediately afterwards, a series of "click" mechanical operation sounds came from the metal box, and the movement disappeared only after a half-sound.
"Father, the box should have been opened." Yuehong presented the box.
His face was still not shocked, but an inexplicable light flashed in the depths of a pair of tiger eyes, and he took the box from Yuehong's hand, but Wan Yanzang did not open it immediately, but looked at Yuehong and asked, "Hong'er, are you curious, what does this box have to do with you?" β
"It's a little curious," Yuehong said frankly, and then changed his voice again, "But those are all in the past, my son has no memory at all now, the past is like a mirror, and the current me is the new me." β
Yuehong scolded in his heart, this old guy seemed to be worried about himself, and he actually tested himself.
This Dragon Castle is indeed not a place to stay for a long time.
Wan Yan Zang seemed to be very satisfied with Yue Hong's reaction, a rare faint smile appeared on his majestic face, and he glanced at the family elder, who understood his meaning and took the box down, Wan Yan Zang spoke again: "Ah Hong, you have contributed a lot to the matter of the box, say, what do you want?" β
Oh roar, it's direct enough, I like it.
A happy look appeared on Yue Hong's face, pondered for a while, and said, "Father, my son wants to practice martial arts, so I hope that my father can let Nangong Ling'er teach me martial arts." β
