But Tails wasn't done yet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Since the Assassins are targeting you...... Who's going to want your life?"

"Remember, Lord Duke," Tails' voice struck Jenn on the heart like a hammer covered with iron thorns, "what were you going to do that day, who were you going to see, and who knew your whereabouts?"

Jenn exhaled deeply, silently, but the scene of that day could not be suppressed, appearing in his mind.

He saw that Gilbert was among the assassins, and in order to buy people's hearts, he came to his aid.

Those assassins.

The boy.

And -- those who knew he was going there, those people.

Tails said coldly, word by word: "Are they the people you think are your allies, the people who work together for a better star, the people who have promised you a better future?"

Tails turned his head and sighed, "Also, among those who are qualified to sit on the throne, you are the youngest, the most imageful, the most popular, the most likely candidate - did they tell you the same?"

The crowd, which was holding its breath, finally began to make an uproar.

On the field, everyone reacted differently to Tails' performance.

Behind Count Karabiyan, the young officer of Cohen stared at the boy in amazement.

He...... Really only six or seven years old?

When I was seven years old...... Forget it.

so as not to be sad.

But the trees want to be still, and the wind does not stop.

I saw the old Earl Karabiyan turn his head, and look at Cohen with a scrutinizing gaze, and then at Tails.

Under Cohen's increasingly puzzled expression, the old earl's gaze went back and forth several times.

Eventually, the old earl looked at Cohen, sighed in disappointment, and turned his head back to look at Tails.

Cohen, who was left with an innocent face, first suddenly realized, and then lowered his head in frustration.

What about you, old man!

People can't be compared like this!

"Black Prophet" Morat exhaled softly and looked at Tails with a complicated expression.

Before, it seemed that he was underestimated.

The notorious head of the secret department whispered to Raphael behind him:

"This kid ...... It was unexpected...... If he is the king you are going to serve in the future......"

"The good thing is that you can save a lot of worry, but the bad thing is that you can't. ”

Faced with this seemingly contradictory remark, Raphael nodded solemnly.

He understood.

Kessel V looked at his son, his eyes flickered, he tilted his head slightly, and whispered to Genie beside him:

"Did you learn eloquence and oratory from Gilbert, or reasoning and observation from you, boy?"

"No," Ji Ni looked at the boy who was calmly explaining in the center of the field, showing a bitter and relieved smile: "That kid is more special." ”

"It's special," Kessel V pondered for a moment, snorted softly, and his face showed gloom and complexity: "Yes." ”

"Like his mother. ”

Jenny's face froze.

Kessel's gaze returned to Tails.

"Enough!"

Cousin angrily hammered the gauntlet of the stone seat, interrupting Tails's words, and he looked at the playful Kessel angrily: "Your Majesty, it's time for the farce to end...... Our main theme is ......"

"Why are you in such a hurry, the one-eyed dragon of Nantopria?"

Everyone turned their heads and was surprised to see that the person who spoke up was the Duke of the North!

I saw Val raise his head coldly: "Could it be that listening to him continue, will it be bad for you?"

Cousin was speechless for a moment.

"And you, old bones of Falkenhause," Val turned his head to look at the withered, horrible man with a deep meaning in his words:

"In this case, it's really rare that you didn't gloat or make sarcastic remarks. ”

"Thank you for reminding me, I was just about to speak, haha......" Cyril Falkenhause, who was a little slower, laughed as he pointed to Jenn with a strange face.

But only those who know him best know that at this moment he smiled a little dryly: "It seems that you have been put on a show, little duke who has not dried up!"

"As for you, Duke Cullen, our Prime Minister," Val looked at the fat Duke opposite, and dropped a sentence disdainfully, "It's still the same steady." ”

Duke Cullen smiled innocently.

Jenn clenched his fists, maintaining what little of his demeanor remained, trying not to look at the men.

Those few people.

If, if I die...... Who of those people will benefit--he could not contain the doubts in his heart, and began to think about these things.

"All right, kid," said Jenn, who was a little pale, with a reluctant smile, "whatever you say, there is no evidence......

"Lord Duke!"

Tails looked at the young duke with a cold gaze, deliberately avoiding the matter of "evidence", deliberately guiding him and the audience's thinking: "What is your position in that group, which is intended for the throne?"

"Yes, it doesn't sound reasonable, your group is more than one person, and if you are killed, everyone will be in danger, and then the alliance will not be dissolved. ”

"Why did the mastermind behind the scenes assassinate you and do something to sabotage the plan?"

"Unless," Tails sighed again, "there's a more terrible possibility." ”

Jenn closed his eyes and bowed his head slightly.

He's not stupid.

"That is, all the others in the group know that you are destined to be sacrificed," Tails walked around Jenn, and in a sympathetic manner, patted the Iris family master on the shoulder:

"Your death is part of the plan - you are the one who was betrayed, the only outcast. ”

"Yes, young and promising, skillful, wealthy, and popular, if you ascend to the throne like this, even if you choose the throne of the royal system, it must not take a few years, Cavendill is another bright star royal family, beginning to check and balance the lords - and even if you fight for life, your age, you can live longer than all of them. ”

"Then what does it make if they change the royal family or not?"

"The assassination of the owner of the tricolor iris in the royal capital will only make the nobles more panicked, the pressure of war will only be heavier, and the accusations of His Majesty will only be greater, and the conspiracy to force the heir will probably go more smoothly. ”

The crown will also be worn on the heads of those whom they are more like. ”

Jenn's expression was indifferent, but everyone could see that his gaze hadn't moved for a long time.

"You were betrayed before you put on that crown. Tails shook his head comically like a little adult: "After all, you're still too young to make friends." ”

"They probably borrowed a lot of the strength of you and the Cavendier family, and they have been preparing for a long time, but they don't matter what they promised you," Tails walked back to Kessel's side and coldly threw out a sentence: "I'm not ready to fulfill it." ”

"Think about it, and reconsider your position, you are a wise man, who would you prefer to be your ally, and who will be the king in the best interest of the fleur-de-lis?"

Jenn didn't speak again, he didn't look at Tails, he just stared at the ground in front of him, and seemed particularly interested in the texture on the floor tiles.

At this time, Tails suddenly turned back.

He shouted strangely to the lords on the stone throne:

"Don't move. ”

Many of the lords frowned.

Tails' gaze carefully swept over everyone's face, as if he refused to let go of every pore.

He said coldly, "Don't move, the accomplices who betrayed Jenn, don't turn your head, don't look away, look into my eyes...... I can smell your weakness and fear in your expressions. ”

Jenn also raised his head and looked at the lords.

Some lords' breaths froze in an instant!

But the next moment, Tails suddenly relaxed.

I saw him spread out his hands and laughed:

"Don't be nervous. ”

"I'm kidding. ”

Some of the lords breathed loosely, and looked at the way Tails looked, either secretly gritting their teeth or clenching their fists.

Did he do it on purpose?

"But see the example of irises, and you'll understand," Tails looked at the lords, his face returning to seriousness:

"Once the star is gone, no matter what other wealthy or noble family ascends to the throne, whether before or after the throne, whether it is fragile or powerful, the new royal family will eventually become the next target of the lords. ”

"Without external enemies, you yourselves will kill each other on the unbalanced balance of power until the stars are destroyed. ”

"I don't care who among you is behind this conspiracy, this plan, or who actually wants the throne - after all, in the eyes of many, since the heir to the royal family is a foregone conclusion, it is only natural to choose the future that best suits your interests. ”

"But, I'm standing here now. ”

"For the stability of the stars, and for your own good. ”

"The survival of the Bright Star Royal Family is the stability and greatest hope of the stars. ”

"Everyone, for the sake of everything, please be like your ancestors, unwavering in your support for the Bright Star, support me. ”

The crowd was getting louder and louder, and quite a few people began to applaud.

As if by coincidence, the cheers in the square were heard one after another—and it was not known to know which words the guards had spoken in the hall.

Tails didn't look at the expressions of the lords, in fact, he enjoyed it more, imagining their expressions himself.

Gilbert finally let out a sigh of relief, and whispered to Tails, who walked back:

"It's so ...... I'm impressed, little sir. ”

"The iris has been threatened by suspicion and suspicion, and the Bighorn has diminished its power. ”

"But are you so sure that the assassins are going for the irises?" Gilbert asked quietly, looking down.

"Of course I'm not sure," Tails smiled at him, and looked at Jenn, who was bowing his head in the distance and contemplating, no longer speaking, his eyes shining:

"But he doesn't know, does he? ”

"Everything has to be focused on - it's not the Assassins who matter, it's that Jenn saw the Assassins with his own eyes. ”

Feeling the solemn gaze from Kessel V, Tails, who was quite stressed, tried his best to maintain his breathing, and said briskly:

"As just now, it's not so much whether my identity is recognized, it's who doesn't want to recognize me. ”

"I still have to say that although it is refreshing, what you have just done is not a clever way to do politics," Gilbert could only sigh and whisper in Tails' puzzled eyes, "You will understand later." ”

"That's the end of the nonsense!"

"It's pointless!"

The indignant one-eyed dragon, the Duke of Nantope slapped the stone seat fiercely, and scanned the audience oppressively: "Have you forgotten? Until now, he has not proved his identity!"

"Your Majesty has had no heirs for twelve years, and a child of six or seven years old suddenly jumped out and opened his mouth to say that he was a descendant of the royal family?"

"Still making a big fuss at the national meeting......"

"Duke Cousin, why are you still bothering with my identity?" Tails sighed and interrupted him loudly, "don't you understand? ”

Tails looked up slightly, revealing an innocent smile.

"I thought that a hypocrite like you, who was worried about the country and the people, should be overjoyed that the bloodline of the bright star had returned. ”

A sense of foreboding hit the cyclops.

Just then, the crowd began to make noise again.

A new person stepped into the Hall of the Stars.

Tails turned his head, and his eyes lit up.

A graceful, feminine and touching lady, dressed in a dark sacrificial robe with half a red sun, slowly walked out of the passage forcibly separated by the guards, accompanied by a nervous little girl.

Many civilians fell to their knees and bowed their heads in prayer to the lady.

The moment the nobles saw that half of the red sun, many people already understood something.

"Very well," Falkenhause narrowed his eyes, "the kings and nobles, and the gods, the three pillars of the stars are all together." ”

The moment the Duke of the North saw the comer, his pupils shrank sharply, and he couldn't help but lean forward.

"From now on, be cautious in your words and deeds," said Count Karabiyan, poking his head solemnly and whispering to his wife and nephew, Count Dele Collomo, who was also shocked at the moment, "the matter is out of the control of the lords. ”

"I'm afraid, the gods are also involved. ”

Under the watchful eye, the earthly spokesperson of the Goddess of the Sunset, the High Priest of the Temple of the Sunset, Lisia Arend, gracefully stepped onto the area of the stone throne.

"Lisia. Val Arend was stunned, his originally lonely expression gradually became complicated after seeing his sister.

It's been so many years......

But the high priest did not look at his own brother, but walked slowly.

Cousin's face was ugly, and he wanted to exchange a look with Jenn as usual, but found that Jenn's eyes were cold and he didn't look at him.

The one-eyed dragon felt bitter in his heart.

"High Priest of Lisia," Kessel V stood solemnly, "Temple of the Sunset, spokesperson of the goddess." ”

"The authority of the king, the oath of the nobility, the witness of the gods - these are the three most important proofs of the founding of the kingdom of the stars. ”

"Today, more than 600 years later, please still witness the continuation of the lineage of the stars by the goddess of the sunset. ”

The whole hall was in an uproar again.

Li Xiya, who was expressionless, bowed and nodded slightly.

But instead of answering immediately, she knelt down and closed her eyes.

Tails looked curiously at the high priest who didn't like him very well.

Is this -- communicating with God?

But suddenly, an indescribable feeling hit Tails' heart, making him very uncomfortable.

A sound like tinnitus suddenly sounded!

"Beep-"

He was startled, resisting the desire to reach out and cover his ears, looking left and right.

But the whole hall, whether nobles or commoners, did not speak out and did not have any impatience.

Don't......

Until that tinnitus is gone.

The people around me are all normal.

It seems that he is the only one who hears the tinnitus?

The traverser has never known what kind of existence the gods of this world are.

But now......

Tails had one more doubt in his mind.

Halfway through, Li Xiya opened her eyes slightly, got up and said, "The goddess agreed, Your Majesty." ”

Duke Cullen sighed.

He already knew the outcome of the matter.

Cousin clenched his fists, his eyes shining with coldness.

Falkenhause chuckled dryly.

Jenn, on the other hand, looked thoughtfully at Tails, who was the focus of the audience.

Kessel V nodded slightly.

He suddenly grabbed Tails' hand!

Shengsheng scared the traverser!

"Follow me," said Kessel unquestioningly, "your bloodline should be seen by the entire star." ”

Stunned, Tails let Kessel V pull him down the round platform surrounded by stone and walk down to the terrace next to the Starry Square.

To be honest, he's -- he's really not used to it.

Maybe it's because, from the bottom of his heart, he hasn't regarded this sturdy man as his father?

The other nineteen noble lords on the stone pedestals rose one after another, followed the king, father and son, to the wide terrace, and many of the surrounding nobles and nobles also tried to follow, but were mercilessly forced back by the guards' anti-charge shields and electric batons.

Tails walked over to the terrace and looked down.

It was afternoon, and it was just right.

He immediately held his breath.

Person.

That's a lot of people!

Dense people!

The entire Star Gathering Square is full of people!

At least tens of thousands!

Like an ant, it covered the entire ground of his vision below!

It's not like Tails hasn't been to Star Gathering Square, he has also stood on the square, looking up at the magnificent Fuxing Palace.

But he never stood on the terrace of the Hall of Stars of Fuxing Palace, looking down on the entire Star Gathering Square!

Even a traveler who has been a human in two worlds can't help but open his mouth wide when he sees this scene.

Soon, the people in the square noticed that there were two more people looming on the terrace.

After confirming that it was the king and his bloodline.

Unprecedented cheers rang out from the crowd in the square!

"The King—the King—"

"Bright Star-Hurrah-"

"Stars—Stars—"

"See?" said Kessel, still holding his hand, "this is our subjects, our burden, our responsibility. ”

The High King asked with deep meaning, "Are you ready to be born for the stars?"

Without waiting for Tails to answer, Li Xiya, whose face was cold, walked up.

The young priestess, who seemed to be very nervous, trembled at the signal of Li Xiya and brought a plate with a precious dagger on it.

"Bloodline ritual?"

Duke Cullen was supported by two attendants, and after walking to the terrace, he shook his head: "I haven't used a ceremony in nearly two hundred years, when was the last time?

No one answered him.

The Duke of the North on the side, looked at his sister who he hadn't seen for many years in a daze,

It's just that Li Xiya didn't look at him.

The grand priest with a moving posture walked slowly between the king and Tails.

Under the gaze of the entire square, Kessel gently picked up the dagger, slit his left index finger, and put the dagger back.

The sacrificial girl brought the plate to Tails, she was only eleven or twelve years old, but it seemed that it was the first time she had come to such a high-profile occasion, and she trembled with nervousness.

"Don't be nervous, it's fine. Tails smiled at her, picked up the dagger with the red sun mark, and slit the palm of his left hand.

Expressionlessly, Li Xiya stretched out her two hands and grabbed the king and Tails respectively.

Then she looked up.

It was not the same lengthy prayer service that Tails had expected.

Because the next moment, Li Xiya's eyes instantly burst out, exactly the same bright light as in the stone house!

The terrace and the people behind it fell silent, and more civilians began to kneel down and begin to close their eyes in prayer in the light in the center of the terrace.

The light is getting stronger!

Even the people in the square, in the daytime, began to see very clearly!

The square was almost full of civilians who did not have the right to enter the Hall of the Stars.

Almost all the people in the square knelt down reverently, and began to pray in the direction of the Fuxing Palace above their heads.

The devotional kneeling of the believers caused the entire Star Gathering Square, looking from the terrace of the Hall of Stars, to change color and surge like waves.

But Tails didn't have the energy to look at the spectacle.

And the traverser was surprised to see that the blood on his and Kessel's hands was floating under the light in the eyes of the high priest!

Then it forms a red ray.

This is?

Tails looked at the light suspiciously.

That's when the unexpected happens!
