The children of demons and other races do not necessarily have horns, and the racial characteristics of the children are overwhelmingly as daughters follow their mothers, sons follow their fathers, and Charles's cat sister and cat aunt are the same. In the same way, Charles's ancestor and the empress's ancestor's son have no horns on their heads like the old ancestor, otherwise maybe Charles can play the little dragon man.

The shape of the horns on each demon's head is different, most of them have some genetic factors, and occasionally there will be a little mutation, but basically their horns can be used as fingerprints.

When Charles received an old portrait from Nicholas II, he recognized it as a portrait of his empress ancestor from the horns on the head of the man in the painting.

Nicholas II said to Charles: "The Emperor fought against the human Knight King, and although the Knight King was defeated and captured, she also cut off the left horn on the Emperor's head. ”

Then he asked, "Charles, do you know what our demon horns are for?"

Charles shook his head, he really didn't know this.

"Clear heat, cool blood, calm shock, detoxify. Nicholas II said with a serious face.

➻(￣ε￣)

Charles spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Don't believe it. Nicholas II touched Charles's head and said, "People who have been poisoned and frightened and mentally insane due to the invasion of the fire elemental can get limited treatment if they eat a little powder made from the horns of our demons." ”

"Some people have no money, so they go to the pharmacy and grind some powder of their horn to get some money. ”

(；￣д￣)

Charles himself can't remember how much cold sweat he shed today, but he was relieved to think that there used to be long hair on the street, and occasionally someone cut off the long hair and sold it for some money.

Then he was shocked, the horn of the empress's ancestors has been kept in their family, and it should not be scraped and boiled in the past few hundred years, and some licorice, mint or something can be regarded as a cool reliever, or mung beans and kelp.

Then he broke out in a cold sweat again, and if Nicholas II asked him to take out the horn of the empress's ancestors and look at it, and found the marks that had been scraped, then he would not be finished!

At this time, Nicholas II continued: "The horns of our demons also have a role, that is, they can allow us to strengthen our control over magic, which is why we are stronger than humans in terms of magic affinity. Humans sometimes use our horns as materials for staffs. ”

Charles nodded, not to complain about the horn antenna or the big horn or something like that, he now hopes that his uncle will change the topic as soon as possible.

Pity...... Nicholas II still asked: "The severed horn of the emperor should be with you, can you show me?"

Charles sighed, then pulled out a silver-white box from the storage ring where the ancestral book was kept. The box has no patterns on its body, and it is locked with locks on all four sides, but in the center of its lid is a transparent crystal through which you can see the curved corners of the box.

Nicholas II looked at it silently for a moment, then sighed and said, "Most likely, it is the cause of the destruction of your house. ”

Charles's body shook, and his hand holding the portrait and box trembled slightly.

The words "why" squeezed out between Charles's clenched teeth.

Nicholas II replied: "For more than two hundred years there has been a rumor on the side of mankind. When the emperor traveled in the east, he found a huge treasure, and the key to open the treasure door was the emperor's horn. ”

Charles forced himself to calm down at this point, and then he immediately noticed the problem.

The horn of the empress's ancestors was cut off after returning to China and ascending the throne, how could she use her horn to make the key to the door before that, did she stick her head over to open the door?

Then Charles asked, "Does Queen Victoria know about it?"

Nicholas II shook his head and said, "Neither the Queen nor Lady Leif have heard from the Emperor and Philip about this, and they do not know the source of this news. I have not seen anything like this in the royal records. ”

"I haven't seen it either. Charles shook his head, unless it was written in some kind of code, there should be clues in the book left by the ancestor, but Charles had not seen anything related to it.

And this so-called treasure doesn't even know about the elf queen, so it should have nothing to do with the secret left by the ancestor.

However, there should be many people who are willing to believe this kind of thing, and the scam about leaving a large amount of "national assets" that need to be "unfrozen" before the party-state is transferred to the treasure island has deceived many people.

Where did that Alan Bischberg probably get the news, and then inquire about his own family, so he took the risk of attacking his own family?

Thinking of this, Charles couldn't help but sigh deeply, what is this.

But when he thinks about it, his guess just now is not reliable, if it is just information obtained from rumors, there is no need to do so much.

Charles felt that there must be something strange about this matter, and that further investigation was needed.

"You put it away. Nicholas II said to Charles, "Don't think about it beforehand, you will find out the truth behind it when you have the strength in the future, my intuition tells me that this matter is not simple." ”

"Hmm. Charles nodded.

Then Charles cautiously asked, "Uncle, can I learn that teleportation magic of yours?"

Nicholas II thought for a while, and then said: "Theoretically, you can learn, but when you first start learning, the burden on your body is too great, and your current physical condition is not good, so let's talk about it when you grow up in a few years." ”

Charles Charles nodded.

While leaving the basement exhibition hall with Nicholas II, Charles suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a lot of stone statues of samurai holding various weapons on both sides of the eerie aisle, as if this was the storehouse of the stone statues.

As soon as Charles was about to ask, Nicholas II said to him: "In the afternoon, you can walk around with Amiya, and if you see anything you like, you can buy something and put it in my account." ”

"I want to buy some books. Charles said.

"That's easy. Nicholas II said, "Books in the library that have an asterisk on the numbered label can be purchased through the library." If you're going to buy it for Mira, you can also ask Ms. Leif to help with the delivery. However, it is better not to let these books be seen by humans in the Eastland. ”

Nicholas II said what he regretted the most this year, because Charles bought so many books that he almost spent his share of the remaining pocket money for the year.
