Chapter Twenty-Six: The Prophet and the Prince

After returning to Front Street, Shu found that Wu Yao had returned from the Minister of Economics. He recalled the scene of the daytime Wu Yao's prophecy, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Xiu said to Wu Yao with an expectant face: "I can't see that you still have two hits!" Can you really see the future? Do you know who killed me? Do the math for me! Which of the five of them was it? ”

"Well...... I can't tell you. ”

"Why ?!!!"

"Have you forgotten my rules? Not a dead person, not someone else, not a past life. Wu Yao spread his hands, looked at Xiu helplessly and sympathetically, and said, "Who made you die now?" ”

"Damn,! Why are you so stingy! Xiu frowned, his face full of displeasure.

"Don't mention that. Tell me, what new discoveries have you made? ”

"I don't think I'm understanding the current situation anymore. There are a few suspects between them, and they don't usually fight together, and they don't know each other well, so I think the possibility of group murder can be ruled out. But how many of them didn't have a motive to kill me? I don't know them, and I'm poor, so what's the good of killing me? Is it an emotional crime? But how many of them don't look like people with this kind of character? You say, could it be that my murderer is not among them? ”

"I can't tell, you have to dig it out yourself." Unexpectedly, Wu Yao was not on the sleeve at all. He was stunned and refused to disclose any information to Xiu.

"Stingy." After saying this angrily, he turned around and went back to his room.

Although the undead don't catch a cold or get sick or anything, they still don't feel comfortable wearing wet clothes all the time, so Xiu plans to take a hot shower first and then change his clothes.

But then again, today's rain is really heavy!

Xiu soaked in the steaming bathtub and looked out the window at the still majestic rain, and couldn't help but think like this.

I don't know if Lin, the guy who walked home like himself, is home now.

Although the people of the country of the stream and the country of the heavenly glow, their identities in the city of the two moons are hostages. But no matter how they say, they are also princes and nobles, so they naturally can't be lazy in life.

The country of the moon also prepared suitable mansions for the two parties to live in, and at the same time, there were servants who were quick with their hands and feet.

At the same time, in order to show his kindness, the king did not forget about the education of the princes at all, and arranged for them to be classmates of his sons at the war college as a sign of appeasement. Of course, this was mainly for the people to see, to show the generosity of the king.

But after all, Lin and the others were not from the Moon Country, so the king did not arrange their mansion on Duchy Road in the aristocratic quarters, but on another street in District B, which was not too close to Duchy Road.

Therefore, when Lin got home, it was almost eleven o'clock.

At this time, most of the servants had already fallen asleep, and the dim light made this mansion seem somewhat deserted.

Lin tugged at the already soaked clothes on his body, hesitated for a while, and finally didn't dare to light the lamp.

It was so late that the princes were probably asleep. If it is noisy with them again, according to Gao Ze's temper, I am afraid that he will inevitably be scolded again.

So Lin just leaned against the wall and walked down the stairs lightly, intending to go back to his own room on the second floor.

But I didn't expect that at this time, the lights in the corridor suddenly turned on.

Lin looked up and found that the person who appeared in front of him was Gao Ze.

Lin subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look at Gao Ze's eyes, as if he had made a big mistake.

"Why did you come back so late? Don't forget who you are. Gao Ze said coldly.

"Sorry, the weather wasn't good, so I came back late...... I'll pay attention next time. Lin whispered apologies, his voice trembling a little.

"Look at the way you look now! What a shame! It's a shame for us in the country of streams! Gao Ze's voice became a little sharp, and he could see that he was a little excited now.

The rain soaked through Lin's robes, dripping down his hair and cheeks onto the floor, making the staircase wet.

I'm sorry.

I know wrong.

Lin kept repeating these two sentences, he didn't know what else he could do.

"What else would you say besides saying sorry? It's just a rubbish! I really don't know why my father chose you to come to Double Moon City in the first place! Gao Ze vented again, and his emotions were already quite excited at this time. It seems that Gao Ze is really as rumored, very irritable.

"What do you want him to do? Anyway, with his character, he can't ask anything, leave him alone, Gao Ze. At this moment, another person appeared at the end of the corridor, it was Fan Lunding, another courtier of the country of the stream, who opened his mouth to persuade Gao Ze.

Gao Ze gave up and was persuaded back to the room by Van Lunding.

But Lin stood there all the time, not moving. Fan Lunding glanced back at Lin, and whispered helplessly: "You don't know the temper of our prince, try not to provoke him, do you know?" ”

Lin didn't make a sound.

Valentine shook his head helplessly, then turned and left.

When the footsteps died down, silence returned to the hallway. Lin then slowly took another step and returned to his room.

Lin didn't turn on the light, and just opened his closet, trying to find a clean dress. But for some reason, Gao Ze's words just now kept echoing in Lin's ears, which brought back some of his previous memories. Lin couldn't help but stop the movement in his hand, leaned against the wall, and slowly slid his body until he sat on the ground.

I don't know if it's because of the cold, Lin's breathing is a little short, and he seems to be able to hear his own heartbeat.

Lin looked up at the dimly lit room, but from time to time things that had happened during the day flashed in his mind.

the scene where Rand softly talks to Roland;

Levi and Ai Fan talked and laughed, and came to pick up An An together......

All this, in Lin's memory, is bright.

But this brightness has never been something he can hope for.

Although Lin is also a courtier, the relationship between a courtier and a courtier is different after all.

Not everyone is lucky enough to meet a prince like Rand and Levi.

Lin understands these things, very clearly.

But even so, he still feels lost and sad about what happened to him.

Lin couldn't help but think back to the things he had experienced, and recalled the obscure memories that had remained in his mind over the years.

Lin's father was born into a prominent aristocratic family in the country of Jianzhi.

Lin, however, is not.

He was a child brought back from outside by his father, and no one ever knew who his mother was or what she looked like.

Although at his father's request, Lin Ye reluctantly gained the recognition of the family, he always knew in his heart that it was difficult for him to integrate into that family.

Lin and the other children in the family don't look alike at all.

Everyone in the family, including his father, has light hair, and Lin is the only one with black hair. It also made him understand how incompatible he was with this family.

Although his father said that Lin's black hair was because he was like his mother, it also became a way for the other children in the family to laugh at him and his mother. It can be said that Lin's memories of childhood are dim.

The children born to wild women are not worthy of staying here.

The children scoffed.

Lin couldn't justify anything, so he could only accept it. At that time, he was too young and not in good health, so he didn't know what else to do except cry. He didn't know how to resist those kids, who were far stronger than himself.

And Lin's father, who saw everything in his eyes, was only silent. This made Lin feel that even his father hated him.

Then not long after, Lin's father also fell ill and died.

Lin suddenly became an orphan with no father and no mother.

It was the woman who killed him!

The adults in the family said so.

If he hadn't been thinking about that woman, he wouldn't have become ill so quickly and died.

The adults in the family said again.

……

Since his father's death, the attitude of the rest of the family towards Lin has also begun to change subtly.

Although adults don't say some ugly ridicule on the surface like children, their eyes and tone all show their disgust for this child of unknown origin.

You see he doesn't look like someone from our family at all, who knows if it's my brother's child? Perhaps, it was just a wild seed that the woman picked up from nowhere.

Lin didn't know how many times he had heard such words behind his back, but he didn't know what else he could do other than to be patient.

He is weak, and in order to survive, he has no choice but to endure.

Later, the king of the country of Jian no Yu recruited the prince's courtiers from a noble family to accompany the two princes to the city of Two Moons.

But because of this bad luck, there are no aristocratic families who are willing to let their children take this risk.

So, Lin was pushed out like this.

His relatives pushed Lin out without hesitation as if they had abandoned a burden; And they themselves enjoyed the reward that Lin brings.

Calculate the time, it's been 8 years since I left the country of the stream and came to this Twin Moon City, right?

Lin couldn't help but think so.

And in the past 8 years, in Shuangyue City, Lin has not been happy.

Prince Gao Ze is a sensitive and irritable man. He is also quite concerned about being a hostage in Shuangyue City, and often has a little emotion because of it.

As long as there is a little turmoil in the outside world, Gao Ze will think about the worst possibility. This is also the fundamental reason why he always shows a very arrogant appearance and does not look close to others.

Extreme pride is often accompanied by extreme inferiority, and Gao Ze is such a contradictory person. He hated the weakness of the country of streams, and felt that this was the root cause of his own parasitic fence. So he went crazy and wanted to make the country of the stream strong, and he had reached the point of being a little paranoid!

But how easy is that? The country of the stream is sandwiched between the two great powers of the country of the moon and the highlands, and it is already very difficult to barely maintain the status quo, how can it become strong immediately?

The gap between desperate reality and beautiful dreams makes Gao Ze more and more crazy.

He has pinned all his hopes on Valentine!

Van Lunding is not an ordinary person.

He was a commoner, but he was a true prophet. Therefore, Gao Ze has always attached great importance to him, and almost regards him as the only hope for the future of the country of streams. After all, the prophet has the mystical ability to foresee the future, an invincible and unavoidable force!

And Lin, in Gao Ze's eyes, is nothing more than a useless waste. A guy who has no value to Gao Ze can be discarded at any time.

Although Lin is a mage, his performance is mediocre and his physical strength is not very good. Although he is good-looking, he always looks a little unenergetic. It's not at all as good as Valentine's healthy and confident appearance, so it's naturally not likable.

Of course it can't be compared.

Lin couldn't help muttering to himself, a trace of bitterness rising at the corner of his mouth.

How could he compare?

Valentine was a prophet and was raised with a child. Lin, on the other hand, has always been just a redundant character.

There has never been a place for him in this world. No one cares about his feelings.

He's used to these things for a long time, isn't he?

Now that you are used to it, you should no longer have those empty hopes.

Lin slowly lowered his head, but at some point, his eyes were a little moist.

The knock at the door brought Lin's thoughts back to reality.

Who will knock on the door at this time?

Lin was a little surprised, but in the end, he got up silently and opened the door.

And the man standing outside the door was Gao Le.

The little prince who was a little shy.

Gao Le is young, and his personality is a little shy, and he has never had a sense of existence in the class, and he is not even as stupid as An An, who is not very good at talking.

"Your Highness, what's the matter with me so late?" Lin asked in a hoarse voice, at this moment, he was already very tired.

"I, I think you must have been damaged by the rain when you came back so late, so I made some hot soup in advance, do you want to drink some?" Gao Le's eyes drifted a little, and he seemed a little unconfident.

"Then ...... Thank you. ”
