"Xu Zheng is in the Western Continent?!now?" asked Hawke, surprised and delighted.

Taking advantage of Hawke's momentary distraction, the bull head quickly rescued his tail and said, "Yes." I don't know exactly where, though. ”

"How did he get here? Why didn't he come to me. Forehead...... In the current situation, it's better that he still doesn't come. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, you should at least inform me." How did he get here?"

The bull head hid his tail under his leather skirt and said: "This person studied the teleportation magic array, and activated a portal by mistake, and he was transmitted to the Western Continent in a daze, but I don't know where it was transmitted, everyone is looking for him." ”

Hawke opened his mouth wide, and stayed like this for a long time before laughing wildly: "He deserves it! Wowhaha! Only he can do this kind of oolong thing! Hahaha, I'm laughing to death! Sure enough, it's Xu Zheng's style." Laughing and wiping his tears, rubbing his sore stomach, he said, "This is the best news I heard today." Well, I'm not referring to the fact that he is in the Western Continent, I am referring to the fact that he came to be. Hey, how can he do this kind of thing? What the hell is this man's brain, specializing in such funny things. I reckon both the Cerves and the Bandari family were overwhelmed by him. ”

"Not really. The Cowherd also smiled: "Prince Bruce has organized an adventure party, and all the funds are funded by the Samuel Royal. Led by Carlo, he is looking for him everywhere in the Western Continent. ”

"Hahaha! I bet that when I find it, he will feel good!" Hawk squinted his eyes and smiled: "Thinking of the scene where Xu Zheng was beaten by a group of relatives, I am extremely happy!"

Niu Tou said dissatisfiedly: "Huo Huo, you are falling into the well." ”

"Yes, yes, I will also say that I will go down to the well, there is growth, wahahaha! Hahaha, you're right. I'm just so happy right now! What could be happier than knowing that Xu Zheng was deflated?"

Niu Yan looked at this bad master, and his face was speechless with black lines. For a moment, he felt that Hawke's smile was very similar to Xu Zheng's smile, a little bit of bad taste, not like a prince at all.

Hawke laughed for a long time. Recalling Xu Zheng's bits and pieces, there is a warm feeling in my heart, like a breeze blowing away a lot of darkness in my heart.

"Niu Niu. ”

Cowherd's forehead twitched for a while: "Why do you keep calling me that when you come back from the imperial capital?" You still call me Niutou like Xu Zheng and them. Don't call me Niu Niu, like a girl's nickname. ”

Hawke laughed: "Don't you think it's interesting to put the names Hoo and Niu Niu together? ”

The cowherd said stupidly: "Whatever you want......"

Hawke patted the bull on the shoulder. chuckled: "Go eat something and rest, it's been a tiring day." You take care of me like this, you work hard and work hard, go to bed early. ”

The Cowherd nodded. Said: "Then I'll go." Be careful, I'm afraid of a raider. The days are getting more and more restless, and you must be cautious. ”

"I know. ”

The Cowherd just went.

Hawke watched the bull head leave. He sat back down at his desk and looked at the proposal with a frown.

Before he could put pen to paper, he suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Someone." ”

A guard hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

Hawke said: "Pass my order to find a craftsman to create a golden tail armor." The kind used by the Minotaurs. Please customize the style by the craftsman. It is not required to be luxurious, but it must be exquisite, practical, and have good protection capabilities. After thinking about it, he felt that the melee type of the bull head had no magic resistance, and said, "It's better to have magic resistance attached." ”

"Is it for Lord Cowherd?" asked the guard, looking at his face. Everyone knows that Hawke seems to be careless about this minotaur, but he actually cares a lot.

"Yes. ”

The guard said: "Then you have to ask the housekeeper to measure the size, the size of the tail armor of the minotaur is very fine." ”

Hawke nodded: "Okay, please come to the housekeeper." ”

The guards went down, and soon the butler came.

Hawke was writing a plan, and without raising his head, he said, "Uncle Reeves, please be seated." ”

The butler was a middle-aged man with dark skin and slender eyes, and when he heard this title, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and squinted his eyes to look at Hawke. Where Hawke couldn't see, the butler's hands were in his sleeves, and he stood tense, looking at Hawke's eyes bright and sharp, with a bit of scrutiny.

"Uncle Reeves, a long-lost title. The butler said softly.

Hawke paused, raised his head, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately to come and greet my uncle." ”

The moment Hawke raised his head, Reeves's eyes were sharp, and he said gently, "It doesn't matter. I'm just a little strange that you haven't called me that since you were twelve. I've almost forgotten to myself that I'm your Uncle Reeves besides your butler. ”

Hawke was speechless, and after a long time, he said even more guiltily, "I'm sorry, Uncle Reeves. I apologize, can you accept it?"

Reeves's eyes flashed sharp, and then he shrugged his shoulders and said as if he didn't care: "What are you doing with these things, what are you looking for me?"

Hawke touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "Uncle Reeves, please don't say that, okay?" I know, I'm always making mistakes, and you've been tolerating me all these years, and if you are an elder like me, I don't know how to cherish it, and I'm living in vain." ”

Reeves smiled faintly: "Say, what's the matter?"

Hockne smiled, knowing that some diaphragms could not be eliminated in a moment.

"That's right, Uncle Reeves, the cowherd's tail is a weakness, and I'm afraid that someone will specifically target him for this weakness, so I'll ask someone to help create a pair of tail armor to protect this part of him. The guard said that you know a lot about this, so I would like to ask you to help measure the size of the tail of the bull's head. ”

"No problem, I'll go in a moment. ”

Hawke looked at Reeves, suddenly not knowing what to say, and an invisible silence permeated between the two.

"I went down. Reeves said: "I'll bring food in a while, and no matter how busy you are, you have to eat on time." ”

Hawke nodded and asked abruptly, "What about Naji, who usually delivers food?"

Her youngest daughter, Desersis, fell ill with a fever and went back on leave. ”

"Oh. Hawke couldn't find anything to say, so he returned his attention to the plan and said casually, "Uncle Reeves, please find someone to send some gold coins." Naji's husband was killed in battle. It's hard for her to carry three female dolls at a time, so please say hello to Desseris for me. ”

Reeves shook slightly. Squinted eyes widened and looked at Hawke carefully.

Hawke hung his head, dazed.

Reeves looked at it for a long time before saying, "I don't have any other orders, I'll go down." ”

"Okay. Hawke buried his head in writing and said without raising his head: "Thank you." Uncle Reeves. ”

Reeves shook again, and Hodi turned around and took another closer look at Hawke.

The child didn't know what had happened, and was slowly changing. When he was a child, Hawke was innocent and had a cute little face, which was extremely pleasing. It can grow slowly with age. The adorable child is corrupted by the dark feud of the Virgil royal family, becoming more and more arrogant, frivolous, unsightly, and domineering, until the final one inevitably becomes vicious and ruthless. The pure character of the year has faded. Became a victim of the royal battle of Virgil.

I don't know how many times, Reeves was lamenting Hawke's transformation, mourning being in the whirlpool of royal battles. No one can escape this muddy pool. I've always wanted to protect him, but I can't protect my heart when I protect people, and watching him grow up like a father is nothing more painful than watching a child who looks like he is going to darkness step by step.

Looking at it like this, after a long time, it was indifferent. If you don't want to be sad, don't look, don't listen, don't think about him. Reeves allowed himself to drift through the course of this ugly fight, refusing to influence him from anything about Hawke. Because he knows. Whatever the final outcome, there are only two kinds of things, either Hawke will be the king, as ugly as his parents and brothers, or he will die of failure and never see this man again. Neither of these two outcomes can afford to be.

In this case, there is no power to change anything, so be a leisurely idler who closes his heart. For a long time, Reeves has been going on like this for the rest of his life.

However, this kid went to the imperial capital once, and when he came back, it changed.

He began to try to communicate with people, convey kindness to people, began to value his subordinates, thought about their joys and pains from the perspective of others, and began to learn to care for and love others, very clumsy but sincere to do something to make others' lives better. Seeing this, Reeves was overjoyed, and uncontrollably looked back at Hawke.

That's right, this kid is indeed changing, and he is still a little arrogant, and he can't change the royal temper. But he has begun to re-learn the qualities that should be necessary for a person, and is gradually removing the dark influence of royal life, removing the domineering and ruthless, leaving behind the rebelliousness and impulsiveness of young people.

Reeves watched all this with excitement, and suddenly felt that his heart came alive again, and seeing him deal with the pressure alone, he felt that he should do something for this child.

This idea struck the mind as soon as he noticed Hawke's transformation. As it is often said, no parent will completely abandon his children and will be indifferent to his children. And to do something indifferent and laissez-faire, just because he is broken and just wants to shut it down to protect himself. At this time, as long as the child shows a little bit of goodness to his parents, even if it is just a little, it can make the injured heart beat again.

That's how Reeves is. He had come to life when he was aware of Hawke's changes. At this time, Uncle Reeves was not called a housekeeper indifferently, but also warmed his heart and affection. Another greeting and a nonchalant thank you is enough. Enough for the parents to do tasks for the juniors!

The elders don't really want much, do they?

Reeves narrowed his eyes, his eyes twitching, and he whispered, "Hawke, keep your head up!"

Hawke looked up blankly, and was startled by the light in Reeves' eyes that was too different from before: "Li...... Uncle Reeves!"

Reeves stepped forward and pulled his hands out of his sleeves, and Hawke saw that a delicate dagger had been clasped in the palm of his right hand. The dagger was small in size, but the cold light was shining, the edge was exposed, and the blade body was open with a hideous blood groove, so there was no need to doubt its lethality at all.

"Uncle Reeves?"

Reeves smiled, threw the dagger on the table, and said: "The guards in this castle have always been arranged by me, and I dare not say that they are like iron walls, but no one has been able to invade you all these years." So, if I want to kill you, of course, I am the most suitable. ”

Hawke's face changed. but he was silent.

"What, dumb?" Reeves was in a good mood. Joke Hawke.

Hawke sneered, "I don't know what to say." He suddenly raised his head and said, "But I know that Uncle Reeves won't kill me." I wouldn't be too surprised that anyone who was going to kill me, even my father. But it won't be you or the bull's head!"

"Oh. You know?" laughed Reeves.

Hawke nodded: "I can't say why, but I just know!"

Reeves smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, I didn't mistake you after all." In Virgil Royal, you're probably the only one who knows how to trust people. ”

Hawke smiled wryly, "Uh...... Not before. But in the imperial capital, a friend taught me to learn to trust people. Because there are always some people who will trust you and love you, and it has nothing to do with power, status, and money, but only with feelings. I think. Of those people, Uncle Reeves was one. ”

Reeves looked at Hawke and felt that he had never made the right choice. Smiled and asked, "What's your friend's name?"

"Xu Zheng. Hawke smiled softly: "It's also a second prince." Samus's family. A trickster. Lawless guy, but really likable. ”

"Miracle that the royal family can teach such a person!"

"He's that kind of man, more like a commoner than a prince. Hehe, when I first arrived in the imperial capital, I fought with him, and I lost the fight, but if I win a friend, I still win. Haha!"

Reeves picked up the dagger. He put it back in his sleeve and said, "Thank him for me." It's a blessing to have friends like that. ”

Hawke nodded, and then pointed to Reeves' sleeve, "Big brother?"

"Half right. I've been on my body for a long time, and I have to make a show of it, soothe him a little, let him calm down a little, and don't do anything else. He now has a lot of ministers, and his moves are becoming more and more insidious. I didn't bring the quenching dagger that your sister sent, and I'm afraid I'll accidentally cut myself. Quench it with the egg whites of the blue spider! Tsk, that's expensive! Your sister will spend money as always. Now that she has grown up, she has a new hobby in addition to jewelry. See, she's not just collecting nice things now. ”

Hawke's face darkened, and he muttered, "That's it." All this money is used by me anyway, if only it could be used to improve the lives of the people or build castles. ”

Reeves smiled again: "I like the kind of humor you have now. Yes, that's how it should be, no matter how difficult it is, we must maintain this mentality. Don't tell me that's what your friend taught. ”

Hawke also smiled: "It's not, he just told me that I want to live to see him, otherwise I will look good! This means that if I hang up, he will chase me to the underworld and repair me." ”

Reeves laughed, "I like you friend, but he doesn't need to fix you." His eyes stared, and his slender eyes became more slender, and he said, "I'm Reeves Bois, who dares to touch you?"

Hawke was surprised and surprised, "Uncle Reeves?"

Reeves smiled slightly: "To be able to stand in the royal family, after so many years, do you think it makes sense to have no means and skills?"

"Uncle Reeves!" Hawke exclaimed with emotion.

Reeves reached over the table and patted Hawke on the shoulder, and said, "Just at you, Uncle Reeves, you can leave everything inside, I'm here! As for the outside-" Reeves sneered: "No matter which one of your family still looks down on me!"

Looking at Hawke deeply, Reeves said, "Hawke, you listen well, and you have to keep it in mind. The day things do get to the point where you tear your face, no matter what the challenge, don't be afraid. I don't care what you're fighting for, as long as I'm still Uncle Reeves in your heart, then I'm your Uncle Reeves!"

Hawke was speechless, Reeves was already smiling at Hawke, talking and turning away. Hawke saw his figure disappear by the door, and the words were still ringing in his ears: "Oh, by the way, your eldest brother and sister bought my money, and I laughed at it, don't expect me to vomit, I still have a large group of disgraceful soldiers to feed." Now, I'm going to measure the tail of your bull's head. Then I will remember to spend your money to make myself a new garment, and you will honor me. Well, you want a bigger sleeve, a stronger one, your eldest brother's dagger on the left sleeve, and your sister's dagger on the right. Anyway, I'm a slasher, and the dexterous twin dagger weapon suits me well. Look, I'm a good person, and I take good care of both sides. Kid, you have to learn a little, ginger is still old and spicy!"

Then, there was no movement. Uncle Reeves still loves money as much as he used to......

Hawke sat at the table and suddenly smiled, and Xu Zheng's words were confirmed again. It turns out that the most important thing is really the sincere feelings that I never cared about before.

Hey, Xu Zheng is right, someone loves him, this feeling is really good!
