Nou felt hunger.

There was no food supplement for a whole day, and Noh hadn't felt it in seven years, like a dream bubble.

Time never cares about people's complaints, and it can't stop passing.

Nou had a vague glimpse of the manor that was currently his own, and even in the darkness, all the manors looked exactly the same from afar.

But just like a pet cat away from home, it is very familiar with its own litter.

It's like an invisible sixth sense.

Noh pushed open the arched door, and the figure of an old man appeared beside him, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Highness, I am your butler, you can call me Hillen, you can tell me if you need anything."

Nou stared silently at Hillen's lowered eyes, seeing nothing but sincerity and respect.

"Did you send you?"

Hillen's voice was kind, and he replied seriously: "Your Highness, it is indeed His Majesty the Pope who ordered me to come and take care of your daily life. ”

Nuo was a little annoyed: "I'm not a waste without hands and feet, I can take care of myself!" ”

Hillen didn't feel afraid, but lowered his head a little: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I've upset you, I will only provide your Highness with basic daily necessities, but ......"

Old Hillen snorted.

Nuo frowned: "I'm not completely unreasonable. ”

Hillen continued: "The superior needs a loyal dog. ”

Nou put his hands on his waist: "He asked you to tell me." ”

Hillen replied, "Yes, His Majesty the Pope thinks highly of you. ”

Nono didn't respond, turned and walked into the room, muttering in a voice that only he could hear, "Do you value me, or do you value my interests?" ”

Nou stood in front of the glass mirror studded with gold and silver, and took off his armor, revealing his lean body, crisscrossed by whiplash scars.

"Maybe the two can coexist."

……

A large square ebony table, decorated and richly carved with ivory ornamentation, with gold-coloured ripples lining the rim and balustrade-like legs, connected to the crystal vase in the center by curled pillars.

Agate and emerald marble are set in black granite to create an intricate pattern of flowers and buds competing to open, while the mahogany base supports the top, and the legs are surrounded by mother-of-pearl, absorbing the yellow light in the air.

No, sitting alone in the empty hall, enjoying the delicacies offered by the butler Helen.

The heron and swan meat were golden brown and crispy, but no was silently eating the cheapest white bread on the table.

Only three or two loaves of bread were served, apparently to decorate the food, and Nou stared silently at the meat on the table, until the heat was all in the air, and Nou raised his knife and fork to settle the food.

"Your Highness, meat is a necessity for replenishing energy."

Steward Hiren appeared beside No. at some point.

"I know, so I solved them."

Noh picked up the handkerchief on the table and wiped his oil-stained hands.

"Tell me about Prison Island, Helen."

Then two servants came in and gathered up the remaining scraps and silver plates.

Hillen's tone sounded very happy: "Of course, Your Highness, I don't know what you want to know?" ”

Noto's cheeks groaned, and his nose fluttered: "Do you know the Count of Minos?" ”

Helen blurted out without much thought: "Of course, Your Highness, five years ago, the case of smuggling armor was world-famous, which made the parishioners all over the country extremely angry, and the Count of Minos was the mastermind who sold military armor to major armed organizations without permission, and in order to steal the huge profits in the transaction, he was finally decided by the elder group to imprison Prison Island. ”

"Yes, but he's in prison, not in hell, isn't he?"

Hillen smiled: "Your Highness, you should know more about the things in high society than the old slave. ”

Nuo shook his head slightly: "Minos is either a scapegoat, or he just knows too much, he is a person who knows how to protect himself but is too smart and clever, such a person is not a good pawn to become the governor of the army." ”

Noh continued, "Let's talk more about this place. ”

Hillen replied, "Yes, Your Highness, you should know that Prison Island is divided into two parts, one part is the prison, covered with luxurious estates for the nobles who have angered the elders for various reasons, and enjoy the same food as the princes and princesses in the Pope's Chamber, as well as music, and even a band to serve you, except that there is no light from God. ”

"But the other part, as horrible as hell and ugly, makes people feel sick all the time, where the murderers from Eris and the psycho of Fender are gathered there, and the screams seem to linger in the ears, which can make people feel creepy."

"But this is only a small part of the terrifying hell, and the secret base of the most mysterious spirit place is just below the hell."

"Spiritual place? Conducting inhumane human experiments, claiming to have obtained the treasure of the gods, and technology surpassing the world for hundreds of years, the research institute of super-mobile armor is said to have collected all the original armor that remains in the world. ”

Noe muttered to himself.

"Your Highness, the Spirit House is an institution independent of the Pope's Hall, no one knows when it was founded, no one knows who created it, and they don't even know how those 'madmen' were cultivated, the old slave once participated in the armor experiment of the Spirit House, and at the beginning of the experiment, everyone there seemed to be a madman......"

"Your Highness, prison and hell are only one door apart, half a wall away, if you participate in the experiment, you must be accompanied by danger, but if you carry it, this is ......"

"Value is the value that is needed."

Noh finished his words before Helen.

Hiren stopped talking, and stood respectfully behind Jean.

Nou quietly crossed his hands and leaned against the ornate ebony table, not saying a word.

I don't know how long it took.

"You go down first, I know what to do."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Nono silently watched as Heeron's back sank into the shadows.

Tall vertical arches, beautiful ebony wood, shadowy light and shadow, thin body.

Only the unyielding head is raised.

……

"Heeron, if Governor Ti has something important to look for tomorrow, you don't need to obstruct it, just inform me."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The evening bell rings in the night, and the parishioners fall asleep with the blessing of God.

……

While the purple nightshade was spitting flower dew, Ty, dressed in a white dress with spaghetti straps, had been waiting outside for a long time.

Until the morning bell rang, Ti politely rung the knocker.

The door opened, revealing the kind face of Hillen, the old butler.

"Miss Di, Your Highness has instructed me, you can just enter the door."

Ti smiled gracefully: "This is basic etiquette. ”

Hiren gave way of playfulness, and Te stepped into No's room.

……

The antique study, with the smooth marble stone carving in the center, shows the elegant taste of the owner's family.

Ty, dressed in high-heeled wooden shoes, stepped on the smooth planks and the crisp sound echoed through the empty and silent corridor.

Pushing open the hidden door, the slight sound of "crunch" tells the host that a guest has arrived.

Nou sat on a wooden chair, holding a book in his hand, the yellowed paper seemed to indicate how long it had been in existence, and it had been washed by time.

Seeing Ti walk in, Noh put down the scroll and got up and sat down in the row of seats opposite.

"Sit down, Ti, and explain your intentions."

Noe didn't say any extra polite words.

"Arnold, you can rest a little longer."

Ti looked at Nuo, whose face was a little haggard, through the faint light, and was very concerned.

"Sleep is just enough, and for as long as I can remember, I haven't had time to rest, and it's instinct to work constantly."

Ti and No's calm and deep gaze met, and their dark blue pupils seemed to have infinite magic.

Ti took a deep breath and slowly spoke: "Xiaonuo, you have been given a mission. ”

"Mission?"

Nuo was a little puzzled.

"Yes, the rest of the 'missions', but it's just a cover-up, it's an experiment, an experiment that puts you in touch with a madman, an experiment that puts you in hell."

"That's ......"

Ti stopped, trying to get Noh to finish himself, but Noh only tilted his head slightly.

"Experiment of super-mobile armor, a live experiment."

Tiny clenched his fists: "You're going to die there." ”

Nuo shook his head slightly: "Ti, that's my value, I will prove my value, only by letting the power hold you first, can you hold the power in turn." ”

“……”

"This is what my father told you, and there are many stories about you in my absence, such as the old butler at the door, such as your secret meeting with your father, and maybe there are experiences that I don't know."

"No, you're more decisive, more like a ...... Crazy kid. ”

Noh took the porcelain cup on the low table in front of him, poured water into it, and shook it.

"A calm elder can control others, but he can't control a crazy child, they didn't understand me in the past, now I will let them know it thoroughly!"

Ty watched as the water droplets that had been shaken and jumped out stubbornly smashed against the low table.

"Even in the face of death?"

"Even if it's going to die."

"For her? A mother you've never met? ”

"She brought me into this cruel world, but also died because of me, I am not grateful to her, but I sympathize with her."

"Is it just sympathy?"

Nuo stopped talking, clenched the porcelain cup in his hand, and drank it all.

Tito looked at Noh with a dumb face.

"That's the softness you don't admit in your heart, you want it, why don't I want it?"

Nou got up abruptly and left the study.

"Let's go, the mission can only start early."
