Chapter 21: Snow Falls

Time has passed to winter.

It's night.

The winter snow was gone, and the snow was not so unexpected, it was faster and heavier than the earlier snow, but it covered the land at tea time. For most people, the snow must have come a little earlier. Only some children of rich families, or people who love the wind and snow, feel that this snow committee is really a little late.

After all, there are more farmers than people who love wind and snow, not to mention the soldiers who guard the frontier, although they don't have to worry about war in winter, but life is a little difficult.

The children of rich families should feel that without the foil of wind and snow, they will lack some elegance that cannot be seen or touched.

His Majesty the Emperor, Onassis VII, did not have any emotions about this snow, after all, it had nothing to do with him sooner or later. He doesn't have to guard the frontier, let alone pretend to be elegant, and naturally he doesn't have to care about the weather.

It's just that this night, His Majesty the Emperor lost sleep, and he couldn't imagine that he, who had always had good sleep quality, would lose sleep on this night. Could it be that the affairs of the victims of the disaster have not been handled properly in recent days? Or that the generals who have been stationed at the western border have not been properly arranged? What else is there ......

His Majesty the Emperor got up, and couldn't think of a reason for it after a few tosses, until the chief court mage, Yves, came to see him, as if he had something important, and His Majesty the Emperor might have been chatting with him in every possible way because of insomnia, so he was called into the palace.

Yves, who had already passed his old age, was about to salute when he entered the palace, but His Majesty the Emperor, who was tired, waved his hand to stop: "No need, what is there to ask you to enter the palace at this time?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yves stepped forward and continued, "Lynch has appeared!"

His Majesty the Emperor didn't seem to hear clearly, and seemed to confirm it again, and his tone fluctuated greatly: "Who!!"

"Lynch Dalton. ”

"Dead or alive?"

"Alive!"

"Where?"

"I don't know!"

The two spoke very quickly, and the end was very fast, maybe even Lynch could not have imagined that he would make His Majesty the Emperor have such a big reaction, but he was just a wanted man, maybe because the wanted man was a child, maybe because it was decreed by the royal family.

After a moment of silence, His Majesty the Emperor realized that he had stood up at some point, and sat down with no joy or anger on his face: "Tell me more." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yves, as the chief court mage, naturally knows some royal secrets that are not known to ordinary people, such as which prince is obsessed with women, and he lives an obscene life every day, such as the friction and comparison between princes, such as what Lynch means to His Majesty the Emperor mentioned now.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Lynch is just a child, and his background is good, but he is not as good as those princes.

But such a half-old child, but he is favored by His Majesty the Emperor,

It was the year before last, and it was also in the winter, that the former Count of Lunn seemed to have drunk too much, and did not get up to go to the early court. If it was in the past, His Majesty the Emperor would have turned a blind eye to Lun's great achievements.

It's just that on that day, it happened to be the border guard general of the Yanyu Empire, General Ackerman, who came to visit, because this general and Lunen are both guarding the borders of their respective empires, both of them are unborn generals, and each is its own master, so naturally there is an indispensable friction and collision. This time, General Ackerman's visit was naturally indispensable to have a fight with Len.

General Ackerman proposed to have a sand table exercise with Count Lunn, looking at the courtiers of the entire empire, I am afraid that the only one who can match General Ackerman is Count Lunn, who has been in charge of the Flame Legion alone for many years.

His Majesty the Emperor is not good at refusing, and if he does, he may lose face, so he ordered someone to call Count Lunen.

Unexpectedly, it was Lynch Dalton, the only son of Earl Lunn, who came.

I remember that it was the first time Lynch appeared in the field of vision of this group of big people, and Lynch was only thirteen years old at that time, and his small body came from the wide hall door, which did not make people feel abrupt, but only slightly surprised.

No one thought that Count Lunn would not even listen to His Majesty's orders from the Emperor, but instead called his own son to come and make amends, this may be everyone's thoughts, few people will think that this child is a little extraordinary, because he is too calm, and there is no stage fright in his eyes.

On the top of the Golden Palace, Lynch calmly raised his head and saluted His Majesty the Emperor, with an elegant and flattering posture, and His Majesty smiled and said: "Excuse me!"

After getting up, Lynch looked at Ackerman: "You are General Ackerman, right? ”

Ackerman wanted to say a few words as an elder, but then Lynch continued: "The general braved the wind and snow and came to our land thousands of miles away, presumably to see the strength of our city, the bravery of the soldiers, and the prosperity of the country. ”

Ackerman asked, "Why did the nephew say that?"

Ackerman's words raised his identity without a trace, mainly because he was dissatisfied with Lun's absence before, and now the sharp-tongued broken child in front of him implied that the Yan Yu Empire was not as strong as their Saint Lan Empire.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a child, Ackerman would not have been able to scold him, otherwise he would have put on a strong posture as early as when Lynch grabbed the words.

"It's good for the junior to tell the general a story!" Lynch said humbly.

Ackerman snorted angrily, turned around with his sleeves, and His Majesty the Emperor, who could hear it the most, said happily: "What kind of story? I'm very curious!"

"Your Majesty, the story goes like this, about a bully in a mountain village, leading a group of young and strong thugs, who did all kinds of evil and oppressed the people. Another day, I heard that someone from a neighboring village was married, and the bride was said to be the most beautiful woman in the neighborhood.

The bully was angry and took a few brothers to find trouble.

After arriving, knowing that the other party was prepared, he set up an ambush and sent these people to the marrying family.

Others asked him: I didn't invite you again, what are you doing here?

Your Majesty, guess what the bully said?"

His Majesty the Emperor was happy, and he took a stubble with some disregard for decency: "What did you say?"

The bully said to come and see the bride! Lynch paused, and saw that the ministers around him listened quietly, as if waiting for Lynch to continue.

"The bully said: I didn't, so come and see!!"

"Hahaha!!"

"Hahaha!!"

“......”

The ministers laughed and leaned back, and dozens of eyes swept Ackerman from time to time, and everyone present tasted what this deliberate meant, including Ackerman, who was flushed at that time.

His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be choked with anger, coughed a few times, his eyes squinted and his face was squinted, and it was extremely funny: "Poof...... Ahem, Lynch, you're so daring!!"

Lynch hurriedly bowed and saluted, as if he was facing a great enemy, but his tone was plain and unrepentant: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty said yes!"

Regarding Lynch's performance, the emperor still nodded with satisfaction, and thought that this son had an excellent mind, and he would definitely be extraordinary in the future.

Ackerman was angry and had nowhere to go, so he played a scoundrel, saying over and over again that there was no one in Shenglan, and he didn't even dare to compete.

In the end, Lynch was full of confidence, the emperor laughed and sent someone to move the sand table, Lynch and Ackerman stood opposite each other, and began a sand table deduction.

Of course, the final result was that Lynch won, but the victory was a little less glorious, first making Ackerman half angry, and then memorizing the strategy booklet that Lunn taught him before leaving, otherwise, no matter how talented Lynch is, it is impossible to defeat the battle-hardened Ackerman.

It's a pity that only the father and son know about this, not to mention ordinary people, even the emperor thinks that Lynch lives up to the name of a young genius.

That night, Lynch asked his father why he pretended to be drunk and didn't go to see Ackerman, and remembered Lunn's evil smile: I have been fighting with him for many years, and no one can help anyone, so I let you go out just to tell him that even my son can't compare, and I plan to compare with Lao Tzu.

If nothing else, just to fight for a breath, Ackerman will have a feeling of bowing his head when he meets Lunn on the battlefield.

In Yve's impression, His Majesty the Emperor revealed to Count Lunn more than once that he wanted to accept Lynch as his godson: "Lunn is really blessed, to have such a wonderful son, how good it would be if I could also have such a blessing!"

His Majesty the Emperor's godson, that can be regarded as a royal family, this kind of blessing is afraid that only Lynch has it, and others only have it.

Thinking of this, Yves couldn't help but think of Lynch's father, Lunn, and didn't know whether Count Lunn was really stupid or fake, really stunned or fake: "Your Majesty can see what is good about that kid in my family? Look at my bastard boy again, every day I know that I hold a book and read it, it makes me upset, and I can't be beaten and scolded by my old man, otherwise I have to pump him every day to practice martial arts, and read some bullshit books. ”

The second half of these words is nothing, but the first sentence is a little flawed, and the flaws are so flawed that His Majesty the Emperor is blind.

Don't talk about the past, look at the present.

Yves elaborated to His Majesty the Emperor on all the news about Lynch: "It was a bounty hunter named Simon who announced that there was news about Lynch, and that it was very expensive, and Simon swore that the news was correct, and no one bought it from him. ”

"A bounty hunter!!" His Majesty the Emperor said in a disdainful tone.

Yves paused, observed that His Majesty the Emperor's face was as usual, cleared his throat, and continued: "It's still a silver hunter, but this Simon has not only Lynch's news in his hands, but also Hood's corpse. ”

"Hood?"

"Yes, it was the evil spirit mage who slaughtered the people of the hundred villages, who was killed by a hunter named Heilu in the early years, and now Simon is rumored everywhere that Heiru and Hood colluded with each other and set up a plan for the people of the world to expire, one is for fame and profit, and the other is not to live in the world. ”

The emperor's face was a little displeased, as if he was a little impatient: "Does this have anything to do with Lynch?"

For His Majesty the Emperor, it was a surprise to hear Hood's name at first, and then it was nothing more than a trivial matter. Whoever killed Hood, the important thing is that this scourge has been removed, who killed it? Does it matter?

Hearing now, the most important thing is not that the hunter named Simon, who is caught, what is there to tell me, don't you still point me to buy news from a hunter?

Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor asked, "Did you get Simon here?"

Yves looked a little embarrassed: "Simon is dead!"

"Dead!?"

"He was killed by Heru, and it is said that because Heru was unmasked by Simon and asked by the deacon to return the bounty about Hood, he was angry and killed Simon and fled. At the moment, Heiru is already wanted by the Hunters League,"

After Yves finished speaking, he didn't see any reaction from His Majesty the Emperor, and after a short silence, he heard His Majesty's sudden laughter, which was as usual, as if he was mocking Yves, who had said a lot of nonsense. and as if his heart was rejoicing.

The reason for the joy may lie in Lynch, the teenager who has disappeared from everyone's eyes for nearly a whole year.

As if he had laughed enough, the emperor stopped laughing: "Send someone to investigate Simon's whereabouts for nearly half a year, and you must find Lynch's whereabouts." ”

After a pause, the emperor added in a deep voice: "Double the bounty, triple the living, and ...... if you die."

Yves waited for a long time, but he didn't see anything to say from the emperor, so he nodded yes quickly, and then retreated to the main hall.

The emperor sat on top of the empty hall, and thoughtfully heard a sentence from behind him: "Your Majesty, do you regret it?"

His Majesty the Emperor scolded regardless of his image: "Dog-headed military advisor, if it weren't for Lao Tzu believing your nonsense, how could he get to such a situation." ”

"Your Majesty, don't be annoyed, you have already fallen into place, and you have never regretted the statement. ”

"Lao Tzu is the emperor, if you want to repent of chess, who dares to say a word. ”

"Your Majesty should know that at this time, you should regret the chess, and you should also ask the chess pieces if they agree!!"

“......”
