Chapter 003: Bill is dead
The bonfires in the night, lit up in the countless windows below, are like stars falling from the world. In fact www.biquge.info it is brighter than the stars, but it never flickers, but sometimes it expands and stretches, and sometimes it falls into gloom, like a distant firework, faint and dim.
I am back. Horn thought as he looked at the familiar North City below. It's so nice to be in this kind of North City, everyone is here, maybe my father really shouldn't have gone to the South Expedition, we have been living in North City, isn't it good?
"Brother, will you go down?!" Mio flapped his wings, and the two of them turned around and began a new circle.
"There!" Horn roared over the wind, "That's the Lord's Tower, see! "Waste! It's not this! That one over there! You can't even fucking tell the difference between tall and short, and you can still be the Winged Terran Patriarch?!"
"You've hurt me, brother!" Mio hissed, "I can be the Winged Terran Patriarch, it's all thanks to you!
Horn immediately let go, and his brother made a terrifying dive, and then quickly raised his head and flapped his wings, and the strong wind struck again, and the northern city gradually became smaller. "That one is the Bachelor's Tower!" he yelled, grabbing his brother's pointed ear, "the back, the one in the back!
Mio wasn't mistaken this time. As the Lord's Tower approached, they descended from the top tower on the top floor, past the circular council chamber on the penultimate floor, to their father's study, and then below..... It's my mother's bedroom. The light was on, and the mother sat in a chair, seemingly staring into the wine glass.
Horn suddenly remembered that he seemed to have written to his mother some time ago, asking her to reject the marriage offer of the boy from Mullen. Sulla is his and Shelley's daughter, let his childhood self marry his own daughter, unless he is crazy. So, he stopped Mio and patted the window.
"Damn, it's higher than the city walls, how did you climb up?!" his mother asked, looking at him in horror.
"Hello. Horn pushed open the window, rolled over and jumped into the bedroom, and took his mother's glass. "Have you done what I told you?"
Mother nodded.
"Thank you. He habitually bent down to kiss his mother, then pulled out the chair in front of the table and sat down. "How's the Council going, does Kenny have the support of the other lords?"
"Only one thing didn't go well. Nina said angrily.
"Uruk?" Horn smiled lightly, "Leave them alone, those guys are just a bunch of rotten idiots who don't eat their cakes, but they choose to close the door and refuse to communicate with all the Sumerian territories. ”
"I'm referring to you!" Nina snapped, "Why did you leave suddenly seventeen years ago? Do you know how long Kenny has been looking for you? Where have you been all these years? And why did you suddenly write to me to reject Lord Mullen's marriage offer? Alan, what do you want to do?"
Mother, because Sulla is my daughter, but what am I going to tell you?, he thought bitterly. "Sit down, keep your voice down, unless you want to call the guards. ”
"Summoning the guards?" Nina smiled, "So what? This is your home, you're a Dalton, and the North City is Dalton's, and they're Kenny's bodyguards, and naturally yours." She sighed and sat back in her chair, "Did you know? Before the Southern Expedition Council convened, Kenny announced at the Council that if he died in the Southern Expedition, you would be the next heir to the Northern City, ahead of our sons. Alan, how much he values you, but you didn't say goodbye for seventeen years....."
My inheritance is ahead of me? Damn, how much does my father value me? And how much does he value Alan Dalton's damn identity? But why would he put an outsider ahead of his son? Am I really not born to him?
"Answer my question!" Nina screamed. A guard pushed the door open. She turned her head, "Get out!" Before the guard could speak, he retreated. "I'm asking you, where have you been for the past seventeen years?"
"Help Kenny gather news about the First Continent. Horn pulled a piece of parchment from his jacket pocket and pointed to the cup on the table.
Nina picked up the flask and watched as he unfolded the letter. "All these years, you've been on the First Continent?" she asked, pouring her wine, "no wonder we couldn't find you after all this effort." ”
"Let's see. Horn picked up his glass and gulped down a gulp.
Nina unfolded the parchment, and there were only two lamps in the bedroom, one hanging on the bedside table and the other in front of the dresser, and she had to squint to read the words on it. "God Namu bless," she said softly, but she couldn't contain her unconcealed joy, "Bill is dead?
"Of course. Horn shrugged as he cupped his glass.
"Oh, God Namu willing," she said as she read, "Bill died in Black City, and was plotted, and now Robin City is in turmoil, and Black City and Robin City are under martial law all day long. ”
"That's good news, isn't it?" Horn said with a smile.
"Of course, of course!" said Nina, "did he tell Kenny the news?, and if he knew, he would be disappointed and say, "Oh God, I want to kill him with my own hands, but..... That's great news!"
"Don't tell him yet. Horn put the silver glass back on the table and looked up at his mother, "Truth be told, that guy can't get rid of his arrogance for the rest of his life, even though it's a genetic disease of the Dalton family. He laughed to himself, and then spoke, "Now that the Southern Expedition Council is convening, if Kenny knows the news, he will never lower his arrogant head again, and even retract his promise to carve up the First Continent with other territories." He leaned forward and continued in a low voice, "He must take all the troops on the continent with him, at least a large part, otherwise the empty army of Beicheng will definitely attract the peeps of other territories, and Sumer is only superficially peaceful, understand?"
"Understood, understood. Nina still couldn't contain the joy in her heart, "Then when are you going to tell him the good news?"
"After the Southern Expedition. Horn replied succinctly.
"And until then?" Nina handed him back, "Are you going to meet them?" Kenny, Sercy, Mike, Lawrence, they all miss you!"
"Yes, but not now. Horn stood up, "I'll wait for them at the North City Bridge when the army is gone." ”
