Chapter 20: Lovebirds

In the quiet and dark jungle, a young man and a girl sat under an old tree, talking to each other.

At this time, there is no difference between a princess and a servant, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, only a pair and a half of children are savoring the fun of friends.

Avril was surprised to find that the "lowly servant" in front of her did not have the slightest flattery like her obedience. When she renounced her noble status, she found it very interesting to be in the relationship with people as equals, because she could hear many things that no one would ever say in front of her. And the boy in front of her, who was about her age, knew so much that his speech was so lively and funny that he could always make himself laugh.

Oh my God, I haven't laughed more than I have in my life.

"The snake lizard is probably the only animal on the mainland that has a left eye and doesn't know what the right eye is. Its eyes often look at each other with their left and right eyes, and then look at each other curiously. Occasionally, they will bump into each other, hitting the left eye and the right eye, to see who is stronger. ”

"That's interesting, but what else?"

"As for blood apes, they are probably the closest creatures to humans. They live in groups, with their own tribes and leaders. The patriarch had many concubines. ”

"Like my dad?"

"Yes, just like your father. Unlike your father, though, the Blood Ape tribal leader must often be challenged by the young and strong men of the tribe. If it fails, it must abdicate, including the transfer of all its concubines. ”

"That's a usurpation, a rebellion, a rebellion! The whole family should be put to death!" said the little princess with her waist crossed.

Gong Hao smiled: "You're right, but if you do this again, I won't dare to say it anymore." ”

"Well, I know I can command you, but as you said, as a friend, I should respect your right to choose. I find it okay to back down once in a while, you keep talking, I love to hear you tell the stories of those monsters. ”

"Then I'll tell you another story about the blazing birds. ”

"The story of the blazing bird?"

Gong Hao told Avril what happened to the blazing bird a few days ago.

She was a little stunned when she heard that the pair of blazing birds were fighting each other for their mates to draw blood, and that they were reluctant to flee when they had the opportunity to escape.

"I don't understand, why would they do this?"

"That's because of love. ”

"I often hear people talk about love, but what love is, why can't I always understand?" the little princess was a little confused.

"Well...... What's this...... There is a kind of affection that will make a couple of men and women become friends first in the process of meeting and getting to know each other. Then they like to get along with each other and are reluctant to be separated...... If you are separated, you will miss each other and you will not be able to sleep. ”

"Is it like this every day?"

"Well...... At least for a long time. ”

"Then will they get married?"

"Maybe. ”

"That must be a beautiful thing. The little princess's tone was full of wistfulness.

"Yes, Avril. ”

Gong Hao thought about it and affirmed the princess's conjecture.

"What a touching love story, Hue Igler, I love this story. By the way, can you take me to see them?"

Gong Hao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Of course you can." We'll see you later when we get back. But blazing birds don't like strangers, I can just take you, but if you bring too many people, I'm afraid they won't give me face. ”

"No problem, I'll tell them all to stop following me. ”

Also, when addressing them, use the words he and she, not it, and only when addressing them in groups. It's a form of respect because they are wise. ”

"Okay. ”

Back at the castle in the afternoon, Gong Hao took Avril Avril to see the blazing birds as promised.

At this time, the blazing bird that was released had returned, and the pair of blazing birds in the cage were snuggling up to each other, looking extremely sweet.

"Oh my God, they're beautiful. The little princess said stupidly.

"Yes, Your Highness Princess. Back at the castle, Gong Hao stopped calling Avril Avril. However, Avril still calls him Huey, a title that surprises all the servants.

It looks like a little servant is conquering this princess who is so arrogant that everyone is a headache.

"The Blazing Bird and the Polar Ice Bird are both rare species of elemental birds, and they are very loyal to love, so some people call them lovebirds. Legend has it that if a lovebird lands on someone's shoulder, it means that he will get a good love. It was a blessing from a lovebird, and it worked. If a pair of lovebirds land on the shoulders of a certain pair of men and women respectively for a period of time, then the pair will have a beautiful, undying love in the future. But in fact this is just a legend, as people only need the blood of the elemental bird, not its blessing. Therefore, elemental birds will not be willing to bless humans. Gong Hao said regretfully. This is a legend that he found in the library after the red fell on his shoulder yesterday.

However, Gong Hao himself did not believe this, and Hong should have been expressing his friendship at that time.

"You say they're good friends with you?" Avril asked Gong Hao, "Can you get close to them?"

"Of course, they only accept my approach. ”

"I want to see it. ”

Gong Hao smiled and opened the cage and walked into the cage.

Red and Green really spread their wings affectionately and wrapped Gong Hao.

Gong Hao stroked Hong's slender neck and smiled at Avril, "Even though they are fierce creatures, they are also friendly to friends. So don't believe in the contract, but trust in the heart, which is more meaningful and effective than any contract. ”

"You're awesome!" the little princess's eyes flashed with adoration.

God knows that before that, the arrogant and willful princess had never worshipped anyone, including the emperor. If her father, Strick VI, knew that his daughter was judging a servant in such a tone, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood.

"In the world of Warcraft, sincerity and friendship are more attractive than power, and more binding than contracts. So I like to deal with them, and they like me. ”

"Can I get as close to them as you do?" Avril asked envially, "I want to feed them." ”

As she spoke, she took out a handful of snacks from her pocket, all of which were her favorite food: "Do they eat this?"

"No, they don't eat, but they will feel your kindness, and as long as you no longer give them orders to say that this is a princess's reward, you must accept and be grateful. ”

"I'm not going to do that again, I find it much more fun than giving orders. The little princess replied playfully, with a hint of shy red clouds on her face. It also looks like she's realized how stupid she'd been yesterday when she ordered the sabertooth to kneel down to her.

She tried to get into the cage and get close to the two large blazing birds.

Unexpectedly, red and green hissed at the same time, and the feathers stood upside down, showing a hideous momentum.

This scared the little princess.

Gong Hao hurriedly soothed the two blazing birds: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, they won't hurt you with me." ”

"But they didn't want me to come close. The little princess was very aggrieved, and tears had begun to roll in her eyes.

Gong Hao thought for a while, and suddenly shouted: "I understand, the blazing birds are not saber-toothed beasts, they are much higher than that big guy, just showing favor can't easily impress them." ”

"So what to do?"

Gong Hao hurriedly walked over and took the princess's hand, this rude act startled her, but Gong Hao put his finger to his mouth and gently shushed: "Don't bark, the blazing bird is a creature that respects love, and when I show you something, they will respect you as much as they respect me." ”

In this way, Gong Hao took the little princess's hand and gently approached the blazing bird.

This time, Red and Green were not as majestic as they were just now, on the contrary, they looked at Gong Hao and the little princess with curious eyes.

It can be seen that they are speculating whether these two people are also a couple?

"Can I touch them?" Avril asked Gong Hao, who looked at the red and green eyes without blinking, excited and nervous.

"You can try, but slow down, and if it dodges, you take your hand back, don't force it. ”

The little princess slowly stretched out her left hand, but the right hand pinched by Gong Hao never moved.

Green didn't dodge.

Avril touches Green.

She stroked her green feathers and muttered a muttered intoxication, "Awesome...... This is the first time I've come into contact with a monster that hasn't signed a contract, and they're so beautiful. ”

It seems that Midori did not refuse the kindness of the little princess. Curiously, she pushed the little princess with her long beak, making her giggle.

This emboldened her a little.

"Can I make her smaller?" she asked Gong Hao.

"You can try. ”

So the little princess said to Midori, "Your name is Midori, isn't it? Is it the name that Thuy gave you? Can you be smaller?"

I saw a long hiss.

She spat out a ferocious elemental flame into the sky, striking the magic cage and making the little princess's face turn a little pale.

With the spitting of elemental flames, Midori's body really became smaller.

Like a colorful bird, Green flew gently in the air, hovering several times above the little princess's head and landing on the little princess's shoulder.

"Oh, she stopped on my shoulder, you said, elemental birds are lovebirds too. If they rest on whose shoulders, they will bless them with beautiful love!"

The princess cried out excitedly.

Gong Hao was also stunned.

At that moment, he remembered that the princess had come yesterday morning, and at the same time that the princess had stopped on his shoulder.

It was because of this incident that he went to check the book, and it was because he checked the book that he told the legend of the lovebird, but it was precisely because of this legend that Green landed on Avril's shoulder?

Oh my God, this ...... It can't really be a blessing from a lovebird, right?

To fall in love with the daughter of the Emperor of Reims?

Gong Hao had never had such a thought.

He just wanted to get the princess's friendship on the premise of slightly changing the princess's personality, which would definitely have a very important impact on his survival on Purgatory Island, and by the way, he would complete his plan to gain control of the puppet warriors.

But he never dreamed that red and green would fall on his and Avril's shoulders respectively.

It's ridiculous. This princess is rude and willful, how could I possibly fall in love with her? Gong Hao couldn't help but think.

Besides, if I make it out of Purgatory Island alive, then perhaps what I want to do most in my life is to destroy the rule of the Stricker family!

But now, the blazing bird is blessing us for what will happen in the future?

No, I'd rather think it's a curse.

Thinking of this, Gong Hao trembled a little.

Red looked at Gong Hao with playful eyes, as if to tell him that this was not a curse, but something that would inevitably happen.

Even if you don't think of it as a blessing, it can be seen as a prophecy.

Gong Hao was sweating profusely, and now even if he was killed, he didn't dare to say that the red had stayed on his shoulder.

—————————————————

For three days, Avril and Gong Hao spent most of their time in the jungle, and a few spent playing in the cage with Red and Green.

Unconsciously, the originally arrogant princess was influenced by a servant and was gradually changing herself.

These days, she has become less arrogant, and even her whole person has become beautiful. She is already very beautiful, and when she doesn't put on that princess majesty, she is indeed a lovely little girl.

Although the current changes are still subtle and insignificant, far from being compared to twelve years of cultivation, Gong Hao knows that he can influence her, induce her, and let her know that in her known life, there are still some beautiful things that she has never been exposed to and can pursue. Let her know that it is far more interesting than the endless pursuit of power and superiority.

He had succeeded in planting a seed of tenderness in her heart.

Since that stop, Midori hasn't stopped on the princess's shoulder, much to Avril's pity. However, from Gong Hao, she learned that people cannot be satisfied forever, and sometimes they must know how to appreciate it and lose their taste.

Especially...... If the blazing bird's love blessing is repeated, then her future is called terror.

Anyway, this originally arrogant little princess finally felt a trace of happiness belonging to the commoners after being stripped of her arrogant status by Gong Hao with all her wrists.

She was free to cheer and jump in the jungle, shouting and saying all sorts of innocent things, without being hindered by the butlers, the guards, and the governess, and no one would tell her that she was okay with this and not with that.

All the etiquette is abandoned, all the troubles are thrown away, here you can feel the nature to the fullest, become one with the jungle, breathe with the monsters, watch the mist rise, like the tide and the sea change, and there is a smart and beautiful little manservant who can teach her a lesson but not disgust her.

She couldn't have been happier.

It's just that every time he comes back, he has to get dirt, which makes all the servants complain and are very dissatisfied with Gong Hao, thinking that this kid is simply going to take the princess badly. But as long as the princess is happy, it is more important than anything else.

But no matter how happy the times are, there will be a day when they will end.

Avril is going back after all.

Before leaving, Avril was a little reluctant to give up on Gong Hao.

She suddenly remembered what Gong Hao said: There is a feeling that will make a pair of men and women, in the process of meeting and getting to know each other, first become friends. Then they like to get along with each other and are reluctant to be separated...... If you are separated, you will miss each other.

She didn't know if she would miss Gong Hao after she left, but it was certain that she was reluctant to leave the blonde boy now.

"I'd love to take you away if I could. She said.

Everything on Purgatory Island is under the direct command of Stricker VI, and his daughter can indulge her freedom here, but she must not interfere with the behavior of the island.

Andrew may have to be a little more wronged by this princess, and Hines is not afraid of her.

Until now, he was not even interested in coming out to meet the princess for the next time.

"I can't go with you, but you can come again. Gong Hao smiled.

"Yes, I will come again. The little princess nodded affirmatively.

Then she looked at Andrew: "Andrew, I'm very satisfied with the recommendation you gave me this time, and I also like Hue Iglaire." I'll definitely come back to Purgatory Island next year, because I haven't gotten the beast I want yet, and Xiui has promised to help me find one. So I hope to have Hue Gler as my guide next year. ”

Andrew bowed his head respectfully: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Royal Highness, it's just that you will see Glerle again next year......"

He hesitated.

Avril asked dissatisfied, "Is there a problem?"

Andrew hurriedly said: "No, there is no problem, Your Highness Princess, I assure you that this is by no means a problem. ”

"That's good. ”

Gong Hao secretly clenched his fists.

He no longer has to worry about the crisis in three months.

When she was about to get on the boat, the little princess suddenly made a jaw-dropping decision.

She raised the long sword of a samurai beside her and slapped Gong Hao's shoulder with the scabbard: "Hue Igler, from today onwards, you are a friend of my Avril Stricker. I appoint you as my guardian knight. Anyone who dares to disappoint you is the greatest provocation to the majesty of the Empire!"

This is perhaps the most absurd and non-legally binding appointment. Before she was sixteen years old and had not performed a coming-of-age ceremony, even as a princess, she had no right to appoint guardian knights on her own. However, this did not prevent the princess from deciding in advance who would be her future guardian.

Everyone was in a daze, what kind of magic did that kid have to make the princess, who had always been so arrogant that even the sun had to bow down to her, to appoint a "lowly servant" as her guardian knight in advance?

Even Andrew had to think that no matter how big the drudgery was in the hands of a kid like Gler, he could turn him into a beautiful mess, and this kid was too genius.

On the contrary, it was Gong Hao, and after watching the dragon boat leave, he muttered:

"I hope that when I see you again, you will not be the same as when you first met. ”

Turn around and leave.

Five days later, the Liberty arrived with eighteen servants.

Heather was sent away.

Despite his hard work, he has been working for a full year.

No one has ever been able to work on Purgatory Island for more than a year.
