Chapter 39: The Weeping King of the World
"Just three months ago, we were convinced that no one in the world could have found the Eagle's Nest before the Hawkman," the Eagleman named Wen said, standing on the edge of the balcony and sighing at the sunlight falling through the gaps in the building, "The Hawkman will never give up on the Eagle's Nest, but the Eagle's Nest has long since ceased to belong to the Eagle-Man."

"Can you grant me a request?" Magellan said with a subtle expression on his face, "while Arthur isn't here......"
"What?"
"Don't go looking for the Eagle's Nest. ”
The Eagle Man looked at Magellan in amazement, he didn't know how to react, but the man's request must not be ignored.
"Why?"
"The Eagle's Nest is just west of the newly discovered New World, and if you get there and need to cross the battlefield between the New Crusaders and the natives of the Holy See, you will die. ”
"In today's world, no one will be stopped by death. The Hawkman stepped back in the face of Magellan and fell from the balcony.
At that moment, a gust of wind blew.
Magellan looked up and sighed, and then he saw the eagleman spread his wings and glide through the air, skimming over the roof.
"What a hassle......
When the eagleman returned, he had a windmill in his hand.
It was an elaborate model, looking more like the toy of an aristocratic son, and the pure white wooden structure was intricate and delicate, perfectly replicating its prototype - the steam airship known as the Eagle's Nest.
"It was indeed it that it flew away on its own, and was picked up by a passing beggar, but fortunately it was you, otherwise I would have missed such a good show in vain. ”
Arthur jumped onto the balcony, he walked into the room with a smile and put the "young eagle" on the table.
"By the way, I still don't know how to use this little thing to find that legendary airship full of gold, is there anything you want to say, Professor?"
"This, despite being called a windmill, is actually a little thing of an airship, a miniature replica of the famous airship, more than a model. ”
"How could it be ......"
Arthur almost never doubted Magellan, he was just too surprised.
"Yes, the steam engine known as the miracle has one on this little thing, and so does the Eternal Stone. ”
All three people in the room knew what that meant, and even though the Eternal Stone had a scary name, there was only one thing it could do, determine the direction.
"A smaller version of a lot of things doesn't exactly retain the functionality of the original, and this windmill, by all coincidence or precision, can do one thing, which is to get closer to its original once it's activated. ”
"Not as powerful as I thought......" the look on Arthur's face betrayed him, no doubt there was more disappointment in his heart than the point in his tone, "but enough." How do you start this thing?"
Magellan put the windmill to his lips and said in the language of the eagle man: "The eagle will return home." ”
Then the little thing of pure white began to rattle, and the four windmill-like wings began to turn, and with the gushing white mist, rushed towards the window.
Magellan stretched out his hand and grabbed the windmill back, then put it to his lips and said another sentence in the language of the eagles: "The time has not yet come." ”
The windmill gradually calmed down.
"At least until you reach the New World, it's completely useless, and with this little thing that doesn't have to eat or drink, you'll die of thirst in the boundless ocean. ”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all. Arthur smiled and took the windmill from Magellan's hand, then handed it to Hawkman Win, "I think I've got that bounty, and it's a pleasure to work with." ”
"Of course," it all happened so fast that the Hawkman didn't seem to react, the smile on his face looking stiff, "You're the most outstanding bounty hunter I've ever met...... I don't know if I can ......."
"No," Arthur bluntly rejected the hawkman's unspoken request, "I'm not going to go with you to the Eagle's Nest." I could spend a year traveling on land and couldn't stand a day of floating on the sea...... Whether by boat or airship. ”
The eagle man shook his head gloomily, and Magellan looked at him and said, "So you're determined?"
"The Eagle's Nest may bring ruin to the Hawkman, but I will not allow it to fall into the wrong hands. ”
"If you need help," Arthur gave Magellan a malicious smile when he avoided the eagleman's gaze, "I recommend Professor Magellan to you......"
"He's really a great candidate, maybe even the best fit in the world...... It's just that I couldn't find a reason to convince him. ”
"Well...... this"
Magellan looked at the eagleman with an awkward smile and didn't know what to say.
......
The king of the world is getting up.
The unchanging military style and the majesty of the emperor make this particularly strange, and normally the king of the world would not have a single lady-in-waiting in his chamber, only the morning star would be by her side, as an adjutant to meet some possible order, perhaps the demise of a powerful nation.
No one knew what the King of the World would do during this time, the only thing they could do was to be glad that the Morning Star was by their side, at least the Emperor's wrath would not spread endlessly.
Elizabeth was changing, and Morningstar was waiting outside the locker room, she stood up straight, like a sentry at the gate of a barracks.
"They're getting more and more fond of dressing me in these impaired clothes, a bunch of sycophants who haven't been to the battlefield. ”
The tone of the King of the World contained anger, and anyone who listened to it would tremble.
But except for one person.
"If Your Majesty suddenly puts on a military uniform, the whole world will think that war is coming. ”
"Do you prefer red or yellow?"
Morningstar was silent.
The King of the World walked out of the locker room in a plain white dress, and she smiled at the morning star.
"It's not a military uniform. ”
Morningstar lowered his eyes so that he could not see the smile on Elizabeth's face, and nodded softly in silence.
Then the King of the World held out his right hand towards Morning Star's face.
Luna knelt down on one knee with the slightest expressionless expression, letting Elizabeth's hand rest on the side of her face, and removing the silver mask there.
Countless people have imagined how hideous and terrifying the scar under the mask must have been, which made the King of the World cry out in pain, but in fact it was only a shallow scar that would be missed if you didn't even look closely.
Elizabeth picked up a box made of shells from the dresser, dipped her hand in the ointment, and rubbed it on the scar.
"It is said that this is from the land of dragons, and it can ......"
The king of the world suddenly shuddered and stopped, and she almost fainted and cried silently, tears raining down.
"Liar!"
Elizabeth screamed and smashed the delicate shell box to the ground.
