Chapter 384: The Kingdom of Mountains (37)

However, beneath his glamorous exterior lies a strong ambition, which is probably accompanied by suspicion and jealousy.

Filmin never told you before. However, he is the complete opposite of what Filin brought you up to be, and your learning arcane spells also makes him red.

Filmin sometimes thinks that you have failed in arcane spells, and if you succeed, he can use his jealousy to the extreme. She paused, saw Filin listening attentively and continued, "It's a turbulent time, Kaz.

Not only do red boats continue to infest people's coastal areas, but even people like you...... People like you should also be more careful. While some people are always pleasant in front of you, there is a good chance that they will be your enemies.

When your father is alive, people are convinced that his influence will keep you safe, but in ...... After he passed away, he understood that as you move into adulthood, you take more and more risks.

Therefore, he forced himself to return to the court as much as possible to see if there was really a place for the film.

And Filin found that you really needed and deserved Filin's help, so he vowed to do everything in his power to educate and protect you. She smiled with satisfaction.

"Filmin can say that he has taken good care of you so far, but ......," she leaned closer, "but sometimes even I can't protect you, so you have to take care of yourself, and be sure to review and rehearse the skills that Haode has taught you."

Also, be cautious when eating and drinking, and be vigilant in inaccessible places.

Filin isn't scaring you, Kaz Silverglow, now that you're an adult, you've got to start thinking about these things. ”

It's ridiculous. It's almost a farce. Filin had to survive the harsh reality since he was six years old, but how could this hermit-like lady be so candid about the dangers he faced? Filin's eyes filled with tears.

Filin never understood why Starstar returned to Fort Bucks and lived a hermit-like life in a society she apparently didn't care about.

Now Filmin understands. She came back here to protect Filmin for the sake of Film.

Borges was also protecting Filin, so was Etro, and even Hermes was protecting Filin in his own way, including Crick, who had long regarded Filin as his own.

But Film's survival will allow them to profit from it in some way. In Borges's case, if Filin were still murdered under his protection, it would really make him lose his dignity.

But Xingcai is different, only this lady who should hate film the most in the world is nothing else, and comes here just to protect film.

She's goofy, nosy, and annoying at times, but the last wall between Filmin and her crumbles when they look at each other. Fei Lin had a deep doubt that her presence would prevent bad luck from befalling Fei Lin, and it seemed that her interest in Fei Lin was always a constant reminder of His Majesty whose son Fei Lin was.

However, it was not her actions that moved Film, but her motives.

She gave up her quiet life, her beautiful orchards and gardens, to this damp stone castle on the coastal cliffs, and to look after her husband's illegitimate children in the midst of a court crowd that she did not care about.

"Thank you. Fei Lin said sincerely and calmly.

"Well," she said quickly, "well, you're welcome, you know. ”

"Filin knows, but to be honest, he's here this morning to warn you and Rem to be careful.

It's chaotic here, and someone might see you as a ...... Barrier. ”

At this point, Xingcai burst out laughing. "Film, Film, weird, lazy, stupid old star?

Ten minutes later, the star who forgets everything in her head, the star who has gone crazy because of the death of her husband?

Boy, he knows what people talk about Film, but everyone thinks Filmin is no threat to anyone.

Fihrin is just another fool who lets people see jokes in the court, so Fihrin assures you that he won't be in any danger.

However, even if Filmin had such concerns, the habits he had developed throughout his life could protect Film. What's more, he has Rem with him!"

"Rem?" Filin's tone revealed unconcealed surprise, and after a while she burst into laughter, then turned her head and winked at Rem, who felt that Firim's smile offended her and glared at Filin angrily.

Before he could get up from the fireplace, Rem jumped up from his rocking chair and pulled out the long needle from the pile of yarn and stabbed Film's carotid artery, and the other needle pierced the gap between Film's ribs and straight to his heart.

Filmin was so frightened that he almost wet his pants, and he looked up at the lady whom Filmin barely recognized, not daring to make a sound.

"Stop teasing this kid. Xingcai gently rebuked her. "Yes, Kaz, it's Rem. Even though she only worships Haode as a teacher when she becomes an adult, she is Haode's most proud protégé!"

Rem removed her weapon from Filin as she spoke, and returned to her seat to expertly thread the needle again to continue her needlework, and Fihrin swore that she had never missed a stitch because of it.

When she was done, she looked up and winked at Film, then continued knitting, and he regained his breath.

As a result, the punished Assassin left their residence.

As he walked down the corridor, he remembered that Etro had warned Filin not to underestimate Rem, and he wrinkled his face wondering if it was his way of expressing humor, or if he wanted Filindo to respect the seemingly kind people.

Thoughts of missing Ariana came back to Filmin's mind. Filin resolutely blocked this thought, but couldn't help but look down and sniff the faint fragrance she left on the shoulder of her film shirt.

Filin smirked to herself, then set off to find Floya.

Filin has a task on his shoulders.

Filin was hungry.

The thought invaded Firin's mind without warning, and a feeling of shame welled up in his heart. Yesterday's ensuing events made Filin forget to feed him.

It's nothing to be hungry for a day, not to mention that Filmin found a rat's nest in the corner of the cabin.

Don't you think Filin can't take care of himself at all? But if there was more food, it would be great.

Soon it will be, he promised it. But Filin had to do one thing first.

Filin found two neatly groomed young boys in Floya's living room, and they giggled when they saw Filine enter, and could not tell where Floya was, so Filin went into the weaving room of the frightened master to take a look.

It was a warm and intimate room, where many of the maids in the fort often gathered, but Floya was not here. Madame Thousand-Whisper told Filin that her mistress had gone to talk to Prince Hermes in the morning, and that perhaps she was there.

Hermes, however, was neither in the room nor in the map room, where Chalin sorted the parchments according to their quality. He told Philin Hermes to get up early this day, and set off for his shed.

Yes, Floya was in his room in the morning, but she didn't come until after Hermes had left, and she followed him after hearing Charin tell him that Hermes was out. Where did it go?

Fei Lin was starving now, and immediately after retiring went to the most rumored kitchen to find something to eat, maybe someone would know where the princess was. Don't worry, he told himself that it wasn't time yet.

The kitchen at Fort Buck is buzzing on a cold, windy day, with the steam of stewed meat mixed with the aroma of toasted bread and roasted meat.

Chilling horses, the boy chatted with the kitchen assistants to pass the time, stealing freshly baked bread and cheese, and not forgetting to taste the delicious stew, until Borges appeared at the door and disappeared like a fog.

Filin cut a piece of cold pudding from the food he had cooked in the morning, dipped it in honey and some crumbs that the cook had prepared for the pork lard residue, and listened to the conversation as he tasted it.

Strangely, very few people directly mentioned the events of the previous day, making Fihrin feel that it should take time for the people in the fort to let go of these events.

However, he felt a sense of relief and remembered some of the situations he had witnessed.

Let's say a person's leg is amputated, or a family finds out that their child has drowned and finally finds the courage to face the worst-case scenario, accept the facts and say, "I know you."

You hurt Film, and Filmin almost died, but Filmin is alive and will continue to live. "This is how the crowd at Fort Buck gave Filin. All of them finally admitted the serious damage caused by the red boat, and at this moment, a sense of revenge arose after healing the wounds and relieving the pain.

Filin didn't want to inquire directly about the whereabouts of the princess here, and it happened that one of the horse boys was talking about Qingbu, and he said that the blood on Qingbu's shoulder he saw yesterday was actually part of his own, and then a group of people began to talk about how he opened his mouth and bit it when Borges tried to heal his shoulder wound.

And it had to be stopped by two people holding their heads, so Filin managed to join in the conversation, "Maybe a mild-tempered horse is more suitable for the queen?"

"Oh, that's not true. The queen liked the pride and spirit of the light step, which she had told Filin herself when she came to the stable this morning. She came to visit her horse herself, and then asked when Filin would be able to ride it out again.

It's true, she told me directly.

Filin told her that no horse wanted to be ridden around in such weather, let alone a deep wound in its shoulder.

Then Queen Floya nodded, and stood up and talked to Filin for a while, and asked how Filin's teeth were missing. ”

"Then you tell her that a horse suddenly shook its head backwards while you were riding it, knocking your teeth out! because you don't want Borges to know that you fell in the gray pony's stable while people were wrestling in the hayshed!"

"Shut up! You pushed Film, so both you and Filmin are at fault!"
