Defective products.

Oh, defective products.

The watchman pursed his lips.

He looked up in the barren world and saw that every inch was withered and mutilated.

Vogel, why do you believe that there really is a 'good thing' in this world?

"Believe me, Lord Marlos, I hate to describe the Guard's siblings in that way. ”

Vogel snorted coldly and leaned back in his chair:

"But apparently, you didn't leave me much leeway. ”

In an embarrassing silence, Marios stared at the other for a long time.

Weah on one side had long regarded himself as a dead man, almost merging with the circle on the wall.

Until Marios sighed.

"What do you want, Vogel?"

The watchman rarely called the other party by first name instead of surname, and said lightly:

"If you really want to trouble my men. ”

"It would be much more effective to report directly to His Majesty, even the captain, and even to the chief penalizer, Facundo. ”

Vogel looked back at him, the anger on his face slowly subsided.

After a few seconds, he reverted back to the stern vice-guard.

"Flag Officer Weah. ”

Vogel spoke softly.

On the other side, Weah, who was trying to pretend that he wasn't here, shook subconsciously.

"Why don't you let go of that poor polyphonic circle and go for a walk outside?"

Weah lifted his face from the circle he had been "cultivating" for almost five minutes, his face as earthy as an ear.

"Walking ......"

He realized what he was happy about:

"Of course, I'm a little tired from sitting for a long time, but you're considerate, Chief Talon......"

"Weah," this time it was Marios, who was calm and gentle, succinct and clear:

"Get out. ”

"Now. ”

Weah, who was still about to say something, was immediately silenced.

In a matter of seconds, he crept to his feet, out of the sight of the two, and then slipped out of the dormitory as if fleeing.

Leave the room and face each other's two.

and a polyphonic circle that glows strangely.

"Others may not be able to tell, Tormond," Vogel said softly, calling the other man by name:

"But the Flag Wing is the eyes and ears of the Guard, and is in charge of internal scrutiny. ”

"After last night, I found out that these so-called Star Lake Guards under your command either have a bad reputation, or a lack of character, or are difficult to teach, or are troublesome, or secretly shit and shit......"

He tapped on the Guardian file on the table:

"When you become the captain of the prince's personal guard, everyone is envious of the building, but you choose these marginal people and even controversial people in the royal family guard to be your right-hand man?"

"Is it easier to control, or is it less threatening and less likely to cause trouble?"

Vogel's eyes sharpened:

"Maybe I'm going to ask you: what do you want to do?"

Captain of the prince's personal guard.

Near the water, everyone envies?

Marlos was expressionless.

You envy, Vogel.

I don't.

Marles was silent for a moment, then replied:

"You're doubting me. ”

The duty room was quiet for a while.

Vogel sneered and hugged his arms:

"You know, when I saw Duke Xinghu's righteous act last night......"

He picked up the last file on the table:

"Do I remember something?"

Vogel was slightly distracted:

"Him. ”

He was unwilling to give up his life to protect the king. ”

Marlos was slightly moved.

Vogel's eyes focused:

"Pawn. ”

The next moment, the deputy captain of the guard pushed the file in front of him.

"Pawn. ”

Marlos lowered his head, and on the file, a sketch portrait of himself was looking towards him.

Indifferent.

Calm.

Nothing to worry about.

Syllable!

Vogel slapped it the table, just enough to cover Marios' last name bar.

"I don't know why the watchman has so much autonomy. But once I took over the Flag Wing, my job was to keep an eye on everyone in the Guard. ”

"So that the tragedy does not happen again. ”

The two met their eyes, and their breath stagnated.

Marles was silent.

In his barren world, Vogel's shadow was enormous.

"So, yes, I'm doubting you, watchman. ”

The flag bearer leaned forward, and his shrewd gaze fell on Marios:

"As you say, many of the files in your Watch Chamber are top-secret eternal—including the Scarlet Years. ”

"Therefore, I suspect that you had another claim when you became the captain of his personal guard and chose the Star Lake Guard for him. ”

"Some claims that are far beyond the duties of the royal guard, and are not even known to His Majesty and the captain. ”

Marios' gaze was on the glowing polyphonic circle.

Without waiting for a response, Vogel snorted lightly and said with a warning:

"Tell me, you must have a good reason to do this?"

Vogel's gaze froze.

"Tell me, what's wrong with the prince?"

"What's a secret that only generations of watchmen know?"

"So that you are jealous, cautious, peculiar, and even absurd by his side?"

Marios' face did not move, but he sighed in his heart.

"Tell me, Tormond, or else this eternal file will go straight to His Majesty and the Captain. ”

Vogel said coldly:

"Tell me, the twenty-four people under your command, including yourself, are not your own opinions, not your grudges, but specially selected for that special prince......"

In the next second, a chilling vigilance rose in Vogel's tone:

"Consumables. ”

At that moment, Marius saw in the barren world, Vogel's shadow and flame at the same time as infinity, obscuring everything.

The room was quiet, except for the polyphonic circle that was running tenaciously, ignoring the oppressive atmosphere at the moment.

A few seconds later.

"Vogel. ”

The watchman slowly raised his head and called each other by name, as he had done many years ago:

"What do you care about?"

Vogel was stunned.

I saw Marlos looking at him expressionlessly:

"Was it me who got nominated a year ago and took away the position of Watchman that you were supposed to get?"

Vogel's expression changed.

"Six years ago, the Flag-Wing senior who escaped the escort because of your mistake, Colin Semir?"

"The day before you finished your apprenticeship and officially joined the royal guard, you saw the 'Scarlet Aria' take the head of the first king in the Hall of Stars?"

"Was it the bloody year when the royal capital was robbed in chaos, and finally your parents were killed by the mob?"

With each question Marhros asked, Vogel's face turned pale.

"It was still six years ago when the Council of the Nation was born, because of the birth of the Second Prince," said the watchman slowly:

"Among the Thirteen Families, the Talon family, which is a distant relative of the Bright Star, failed to become the heir of the royal family without an heir?"

"Vogel Talen?"

The next moment, Marlos stood in his own barren world, and unsurprisingly saw:

The great shadow that belonged to Vogel trembled, and the boundless flames fluttered.

Longing, apprehension, restlessness.

and fear.

"When you lose everything, you always want to grab something – whether it's a life-saving straw or a demonic condition. ”

"Don't let fear rule your life, old friend," said Marhos, shaking his head.

"It's not worth it. ”

Vogel's breathing grew faster and faster, and his anger grew hotter.

"If that's your answer, Watchman ......"

Marhros interrupted him:

“D.D。 ”

"He has a very special ability. ”

Vogel's eyes narrowed.

"That's right, most people, including you, may think that he is naïve and thick-skinned, and that he is lazy, inexplicable, and even hanging, which is quite unreliable......"

Marius Pupil Focus:

"But there's a point. ”

"Contempt, contempt, helplessness, or sighing. ”

"Most people get along with Danny Doyle and have a hard time getting angry after they really get into contact with his personality. ”

"It's hard to really ...... Hate him. ”

"Not to mention disgust and dumping. ”

Vogel changed color slightly.

"As long as he wants, he can close the distance with anyone in a minute, without hindrance, without burden, even if the other person is an impersonal madman or a murderous monster. ”

Marlos looked at his own reflection in the teacup.

"So that most of the world doesn't hate you—do you know how hard it is, Lord Taron?"

He said quietly:

"It's much easier to get to the extreme. ”

"That's why, in terms of ability and quality, Danny Doyle may not be the strongest, but he can get along with the guards, and he is quite popular, and he would rather let him come forward when there is something. ”

Vogel looked at Marlos, the anger in his eyes still lingering.

"And the Gallover Pioneers. ”

Marlos also stared at Vogel, calm and indifferent:

"Although he is taciturn and unsociable, he is steady and delicate. ”

"He has participated in the desert war, and he is the one who has the best understanding of actual combat among the young generation of the vanguard, and even Marico is second, and he may not be sure to win against him if he fights hard. ”

Vogel frowned.

"As for his stains, if you go beyond cold records and figures, tear apart the prejudices and misunderstandings of others, Lord Taron. ”

Then you may find out that Galen Glover fought with his peers because the other party had been insulting his family and background for a long time, ostracizing and isolating him, and framing him for five years. ”

As the royal knight of the kingdom, Galen Grove couldn't bear it anymore and was forced to respond. ”

Vogel frowned and repeated:

"Forced?"

Marlos nodded:

"If I were you, maybe I'd pay attention to the discipline within the Guard. ”

"Wonder why there are six people in the Vanguard Wing besieging one. ”

"And why is it that the vanguard wing, which is known for its toughness in actual combat, ended up with three injuries and one disability with six to one. ”

Vogel didn't speak, he frowned and looked at the file on the table.

"As for the others. ”

"Patterson has a weird temper, and Stoke is retiring, so they won't be bought off easily—especially when the prince comes back and everyone wants to pounce on him and suck a mouthful. ”

"To be honest, Konmuto is not perfect, but we need people who know the affairs of the city's vigilance and officials. ”

"I don't know about the affair between Zonevide and his stepmother, and it is true that Cousta is the son of thorns, but given the experience of His Royal Highness the Prince in the past six years," Marlos did not hesitate:

"There is a need for us to guarantee the geographical diversity of the members of the Guard. ”

"Nehi is a headache. But when we were young, who wasn't empty-eyed and self-centered? He may be exaggerated, but he just needs to be honed, like a ...... A durable partner. ”

"And did I mention that in the Desert War, Bastia didn't fall after two hammers from the orcs?"

"As for the Morgan Pioneer Officer, his old case from twenty years ago has been heard, and there is no evidence to substantiate the accusation that he killed Shangguan......"

Vogel snorted coldly:

"But that's even more creepy, isn't it?"

Marlos smiled.

"I know the people under me. The watchman said lightly:

"They're not what you think. ”

Marhros looked earnestly at his old friend:

"They're not consumables, they're not outcasts. ”

"They are people. ”

The dormitory was silent again.

Vogel's gaze wandered between the archives and Marhros.

"People. ”

"People?"

Vogel was silent for a long time, patted the file on the table, and snorted coldly:

"You know, that's not how Flag Wing looks. ”

"Don't trust people – that's the first lesson of flag wings. ”

Marlos shook his head:

"A long time ago, about sixty years ago, there was a watchman in the royal guard, Cyril Falkenhauz. ”

He said: The command wing is the brain, the flag wing is the eyes and ears, the vanguard is the arm and the guard, the logistics is flesh and blood, and the punishment supports the backbone. ”

"But the watchmen of the legacy ......"

"This is the heart of the guards. ”

Vogel was stunned.

"The brain will be confused, the ears and eyes will be deceived, the hands and feet may be broken, the flesh and bones can be broken, and the emperor's guards have been destroyed and lost. ”

Marlos picked up the file of himself on the table and stood up:

"But the heart won't. ”

He pressed his chest and said solemnly:

"Only the inheritance continues. ”

"Witness eternity. ”

Vogel looked at him in a daze.

Marlos closed his sketch page and piled it on top of the other archives.

"I guess, that's the end of the flag record?"

"If you want, just present the eternal file to Your Majesty, I don't care. ”

The watchman nodded and turned to leave.

Vogel took a few deep breaths and looked at the other person's back, but he was no longer aggressive.

On the contrary, his face was calm and his eyes were like water.

But in Marios's world, he saw the flames in Vogel's chest shatter inch by inch and turn to ashes.

Until the Vice-Captain of the Guard spoke again.

"Really, Heart?"

Marlos froze.

"Then tell me, old friend......"

Vogel's hoarse voice rattled like a serpent's letter.

"Back then, when you secretly informed, betrayed your father to the Fuxing Palace......"

"When you have caused an unprecedented riot in Eternal Star City, and the assassins are looking for an opportunity to start an incident, and the bloodshed spreads all night......

The steady cup in the watchman's hand trembled.

Vogel's eyes were like knives, piercing him in the back.

"Tormond Marios, in exchange for the king's trust, you who have obtained your current position......"

"...... outside of the visible archive"

"Do you really have a 'heart'?"

At that moment, Marlos only felt that the finishing power in his body collapsed.

He saw that the barren world he was in instantly had a color, the grass grew and the warbler flew, full of vitality, the flowers were red and the grass was green, and it was colorful.

Charming, weird, psychedelic.

It's intoxicating.
