Although Sincalilan was a small country, the size of the palace was beyond the reach of many large countries, and Eric and Raven had only spent half of the afternoon shopping. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At half past six, Lubus led the two to the palatial dining room on time. The extra-long dining table in the center is more than a meter long, and the light from the ornate rotating crystal chandelier on the ceiling reflects the light of the smooth and translucent tabletop. There is a wide variety of food on the long table, and the mere look of it makes people salivate.

But for only four people in the evening, the king, the princess, and two guests, such a long table and the abundance of food on the table seemed too extravagant by any measure.

And King Tu Lan is an unexpectedly kind old man. He was wearing an ordinary black suit, with gray hair and a kind face, and he did not feel the oppressive temperament of a lord of a country at all. He was very enthusiastic about the two guests invited by his daughter, which was completely unexpected by Eric, who had imagined that the king should be a rather difficult old man to deal with, and had not expected such a kind person.

I always feel that this image is difficult to coincide with the old stubborn inherent point of forcing his daughter to marry Dr. Doom.

The old king seems to be quite interested in American superheroes, and constantly expresses his admiration to Eric during the dinner - although Eric insists that he is not technically a superhero, the old king seems to regard this as his modesty.

His Majesty showed a particular interest in the Skrull invasion, and like a curious schoolboy, he asked for the details of the battle against the aliens at the time, and Eric had to briefly tell him how the Justice League had come together, how he had followed the Justice League against the alien legions, and finally he had killed the main Skrull battleship on the surface of the earth, and then Lex Luthor released a neurotoxin around the world to dismantle the invasion.

The old king listened to the whole thing with relish, and when he heard the highlights, he wanted to dance with his hands, as if he was the one who fought the alien fleet.

Eric concluded, "But in the end, in general, it wasn't us who saved the world, it was Lex Luthor. Although we are fighting the enemy's main force on the frontal battlefield, it does not affect their control of the Earth. In the end, it was the neurotoxin developed by Lex Luthor that drove out these alien reptiles. ”

The old king's head shook like a rattle.

"There's no denying that Luthor played an important role, but you shouldn't deny your own contributions." "The key is not to win the battle, it's to show people around the world that someone is up and fighting," he said. Children, you are the same warriors who are fighting on the front lines of the earth, telling others that you are still being guarded. ”

Eric smiled, "Maybe...... You seem to be particularly interested in these superheroes, huh? ”

King Tu Lan smiled and said, "Yes." I'm getting old, and I'm not keeping up with the times. In the past, in my time, no one could go to heaven and earth. Bare hands against guns and cannons. I think superpowers are God's gift to humanity. ”

"A gift?" Eric stared at the table for a moment, then muttered to himself, "Superpowers...... In fact, it is a curse, a curse that everyone who is chosen has to carry. ”

"Don't be so pessimistic, young man, I wish I could have some special powers."

At this point, the king paused, and turned his gaze to Princess Mia, who had been silent since the table.

"Speaking of which, I'll just ask a little bit about ...... 'Red Project', how is it? I heard that something seems to be wrong with your side? ”

Princess Mia let out an "ah" and replied, "Well, it is said that there may be a leak of internal secrets...... We're already trying our best to investigate, though. ”

"But nothing has come of it yet, has it?"

The princess was silent.

"Really, you can't count on it." The king snorted, "If such a trivial matter goes wrong, if it continues like this in the future, how are you going to make me feel at ease that you will inherit the throne?" ”

Since it was Sincarilan's internal affairs, it was inconvenient for Eric to interject, just watching silently from the side. But I always felt that when I questioned the princess at this time, the kind old man was as stern as if he had suddenly changed into a person.

"I'm full."

The princess said lightly, stood up, nodded to Eric and Raven, turned and left.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh." The king smiled again, and said to Eric, "My daughter is far from mature. ”

"No, Princess Mia is already quite good." Eric replied with a polite smile.

But although he didn't ask, Eric still had some concern in his heart - what did "Project Red" refer to?

He had a strange sense of foreboding.

Night.

Raven had gone back to his room to sleep, and Eric was supposed to be the same, but he couldn't calm down and couldn't sleep, so he decided to go out for a walk alone.

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to wander around the empty palace in the middle of the night.

The royal palace at night has a different flavor than during the day. The palace in the darkness is like a statue of different shapes, burly and silently standing in the darkness, like a guardian of infinite majesty. Above the pitch-black sky hung a bright moon, and the silver light poured unreservedly into the pond in the middle of the palace, as if a white veil had been spread on the water.

Eric crouched on the fence by the pond, staring at the calm waters, his mind racing, sorting out everything he had seen and heard on his first day in Sincariland.

King Sincalilan's enthusiasm was surprisingly strange, and the leak of the secrets of the "Red Project" they talked about, and the king's almost unusual reverence and yearning for the superpowers......

He had thought he would be able to put everything aside for a while and think about nothing and come to Sincariland for a relaxing vacation, but now he instinctively felt that things were not so simple.

But he still didn't mention his strange feeling to Raven at all.

What if it's just that you're too careful?

Maybe this king is just interested in superheroes like a child, and it is normal for a country to have some classified projects or plans, so why should he be so nervous?

In short, there is no need to stress Raven right now, this vacation should be a very precious experience for Raven.

At this moment, he noticed that someone seemed to be approaching behind him.

As soon as he turned around, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the person coming.

"Princess Mia?"
