Chapter 217: Uninvited Guest
"Chilling Cicada Crying Fire, the twelfth in the list of divine soldiers, the light and heavy double sword is a container for frost and flame, neither casting runes, nor soul blessings, but it can seal the elemental power belonging to the gods, and it is said to be a weapon from a distant world. We still don't know why believers use such blasphemy, and perhaps those who are deceived by death are the wise men who see through reality. - "Alien List of Divine Soldiers: Chilling Cicada Crying Fire"
...
"As long as you like." Chino wasn't going to dictate the name, and it was a nice name.
Chino was about to leave when a soft call from Neco suddenly came from behind him, "That..."
I saw Niko's face slightly sideways, her eyes a little confused, as if she had fallen into a memory: "The reason why I am so obsessed with the sword is because my father was an extremely famous swordsman in Wangcheng, he loved me very much, I also loved him very much, and I wanted to inherit the sword for him..."
Chino: "Where is your father now?" ”
Niko's eyes were obviously lonely, and she murmured, "He died 13 years ago, in the royal city..."
Chino was very keen to capture the key point, remembering that the last time he went to the New Year's banquet in the palace, Resakhar also mentioned the time point "12 years ago" when introducing the "Colossus", but there seemed to be something hidden in the words, and he quickly changed the topic.
That was last year, and the 13 years ago that Niko said was the same year as the 12 years ago that Resakhar said at the time, referring to the "500th year of the Fire Calendar".
Moreover, Lona's mother, Sura Fin Legnom, known as the "White Dragon", is the dragon knight closest to the 7th sequence "Black King" after the legendary "Dragon Queen", and also fell in the 500th year of the Fire Calendar.
But about the events of this year, Chino has read a lot of books, and the historical records are extremely vague, and the historians are vague, making people feel that they want to express something, but they are deliberately avoiding it.
Now hearing this point in time, Chino can't help but ask: "What happened in the royal city 13 years ago?" ”
Niko's eyes widened, as if she felt a little incredulous, and asked tentatively, "13 years ago... You don't know? ”
Chino shook his head.
Niko's expression was inexplicably a little frightened, she lowered her head at a loss, and hurriedly said goodbye to Chino: "I'm sorry, my lord, I shouldn't have mentioned this... Please forget about it..."
Chino stared at Niko's back, without asking or hindering her, and let her go, only her eyes deepened.
...
The next day, Lugo woke up early in the morning.
Since taking over as the captain of the security team, he has not slept a few times, not because he doesn't want to, but because he can't.
Among the eight officials, if there is any position that is as busy as the administrator, it is the captain of the sheriff.
Although they are all positions of commanders, unlike the generals who command the troops in wartime, the captain of the security team is responsible for daily security, and the small and trivial matters in the city are under the control of Lugo.
Today, a child was lost here, a wallet was stolen there, a fight was fought in a house, a dog escaped without a leash, a cat forgot to close the window and ran away, and even a loud voice was complained about at night.
When Lugo first served as the captain of the security team, he felt that he had a lot of face, eight positions! Superior to man! You can live the rest of your life lying down!
It's good now, the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and he is almost depressed by these things.
If you want to change to when you were still a hooligan before, it doesn't matter who is reasonable, you can directly slap both parties in the face, and most of them will be honest.
But when he wears this official uniform, it means that he has to accept the double supervision of the administrative officer Chino and the supervision officer Emo, and when dealing with these things, he has to be shy to the parties, so as not to be reported and deducted his salary, can he not be depressed...
After eating breakfast, Lugo filled the flask and prepared to go to the sheriff's office to deal with the matter.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the government residence, he found that there were two girls, one tall and one short, very young, dressed very plainly, but their appearance was surprisingly exquisite.
If Lugo had gone to the New Year's banquet with Chino last year, he would have known that one of these two was the current ninth princess of the royal family, Solandel van Doguland.
The other is the only daughter of the king's left-handed Sting, Lorna Fin Regnome.
Recently, King Perseus traveled to the "Gray Mist Province" in the south, no one in the royal city was staring, Solandale has grown up, and he doesn't like to be locked in the boudoir more and more, plus Lorna is a lord who doesn't think much of a big deal, under her crazy instigation, the two of them combined and escaped from the royal city directly, and came to Twilight City to play with Chino.
In order to hide their identities, both of them wore civilian clothes and did not dare to report their real names, so they were stopped outside by the guards of the executive government residence.
Seeing that the tall girl and the guard kept arguing, Lugo swaggered over and looked at the two of them with a smile: "Yo, little girls, what are you doing in the government mansion?" ”
Lorna glanced at him, "What's your business!" ”
Lu Ge laughed directly: "You are spreading wild at the door of the government mansion, what does it matter to me?" Lao Tzu is Lugo Helsin, the captain of the sheriff! Hurry up, this is not the place for you to mess around. ”
Lorna looked at him in disbelief, "Captain Vigilante? You?? How do I feel like you're a scoundrel??? How does Chino use people..."
Lu Ge just wanted to scold, but he was inexplicably a little puzzled: "Do you know our family administrator?" ”
"Your family?" Lona's eyes grew more and more strange, and finally became extremely frightened, "Wait, you just said your name is Lugo Helsing... Helsin? Did you change your surname to marry Chino? ”
"you! Lao Tzu is his retainer and likes women and dislikes men. Lugo thought for a moment and said confidently, "But with the appearance of an administrator, I really don't seem to mind, but he can only marry me, not me." ”
"That's not the point!" Lorna looked embarrassed and said helplessly, "Since you are his retainer, then let the guards back and let us in, we are Chino's friends." ”
Lugo laughed directly: "Where did the wild child come from, open and close his mouth to be a friend of the administrator?" I'm going to play and go back to your parents! ”
"What am I lying to you! Let's get inside! Lorna pulled Solandel and was about to squeeze in, but was stopped by Lugo and the guards.
The reason why they didn't believe Lorna's words was that these two looked like children who were not adults, and they looked like children who came out to play. As Chino's subordinates, they had never heard of Chino having friends of this age.
And then there have been similar accidents before, when Chino first came to Twilight City, the gate guards were not strictly controlled, and there were thieves of unknown origin who lied to be Chino's friends, and even made up the head, so they mixed up with the government mansion and almost stole confidential documents.
Many guards lost their heads because of this, and after this incident, the control of the executive mansion became extremely strict, and strangers were absolutely forbidden to enter and leave.
Lugo stopped them and looked them up and down: "You say that you are friends with the Administrator, then I ask you, where are you from?" ”
