Three days later. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This morning's Yongxing City, there has just been a snowfall, and the roads are muddy and dirty.

But the road in front of the Mindith Hall was swept away.

Several carriages were already coming.

"Time is of the essence, and it is said that the Grand Duke of Rumba did not withdraw his troops, but continued to the frontier - I don't know whether King Nunn did not restrain him, or whether he could no longer restrain him. ”

Gilbert and a well-groomed Tails stood in the third-floor study, looking out the window at the carriage that drove through the door of Middleis Hall.

Gilbert said with a solemn face:

"It seems that tentative conflicts cannot be avoided. Although Baron Mu and Lord Sutherre were in charge of the fortress, and the Zemutto and Forrest families also promised their full support, after hearing the news of the duke's imprisonment, the vassals of Hanbao and Aarend were in chaos...... We'd better get there early to avoid the war. ”

Tails nodded slightly, quietly listening to Gilbert's debriefing.

"As is customary, as a Star Prince, Your Highness needs to have three mentors to guide you in military, political, and ceremonial terms, as well as an attendant officer, generally your future assistant, and two guards......"

"But you're on the move...... You can only keep everything simple and make up for it when you return home. ”

"Considering that the place we are going to is a strange Exeter, and the purpose of this trip is to apologize, we have to reduce the number of attachés, except for the thirty Bright Star Private Soldiers led by Jorah, there are three special candidates. ”

"A Mentor - I'll introduce you to a knowledgeable scholar as a deputy, an acolyte - a candidate is already in place and is in the carriage, and a Guardian - your safety is too important to be an experienced Arctic master......"

When Tails heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Mentor and Guardian...... Gilbert, you mean, you and yodel, and even Genie...... Won't you travel with me?"

Gilbert gave a helpless smile.

"Well," he said lightly, "I am a signatory of the Peace of the Fortress, and I am notorious as a 'conspirator' in Exeter...... My appearance in Longxiao City will only cause you unnecessary trouble. ”

"As for yodel......"

Gilbert shook his head: "In the Northlands, in the past ten years, there have been five well-known Extreme Realm powerhouses, commonly known as the 'Five War Generals', under the command of King Nunn and several Grand Dukes, respectively, and their status is comparable to the 'Three Marshals' in charge of the legendary anti-demon forces in our Star Kingdom. Your Highness, if you meet any of them, please don't mention the 'Master with the Dark Purple Mask' and the fact that he is now the secret guard of the Supreme King of the Stars. ”

Tails was stunned.

After a month of study, he knows the three handsomeness of Xingchen...... But the five generals on Exeter's side ......

I saw the former foreign secretary sigh: "Yodel...... Had a holiday with each of them......"

Tails took a second to comprehend the sentence, then twitched his face and said, "Every ...... What kind of festival does everybody?

Gilbert just stared at him silently.

Tails took a breath and smiled helplessly: "Okay...... I guess it's the more troublesome kind of ......."

There is one more question in the heart of the traverser.

Yodel's past.

What did he do to provoke the "Five Warriors" at the same time?

It's like a person having to be the enemy of "three marshals" at the same time - it's simply inconceivable.

"And Ms. Ginny......" Gilbert looked at the carriage outside the window and stopped, and several people came down one after another: "Her identity is more sensitive...... You know, her relationship with the king ......"

Tails sighed, "So, apart from the 'allies' of the Corleone family, I probably won't see any familiar faces, right?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say," Gilbert's face froze, "You really, you want to bring someone from the Corleone family?"

Tails grimaced, "I made a promise to them after all - I don't like to break my word." ”

Moreover, although the old witch of Seren was annoying, she did help me at a critical moment with the transmission of the blood clan. It is not an exaggeration to say that it saved my life.

Tails frowned: "After all, they have an Extreme Realm master and two super-level masters, and Serena hopes to rely on my identity to achieve reset, which is a bargaining chip that can be used." On the way to the Northlands, they can change their faces and hide in the attaché......" He paused, remembering the sturdy figure: "And ......"

"Your Majesty, he's allowed it, isn't it?"

"Of course, that was the promise of a prince of stars...... It's the promise of the bright stars," Gilbert exhaled lightly: "It's just that in the country of stars, with the king and our forces on their side, they don't dare to be too presumptuous, and in Exter, who is a stranger to life...... Hopefully they won't cause trouble. ”

"After all, neither Yodel nor I are with you," Gilbert frowned, "Beware of that old butler, Chris...... I always felt like I had heard his name somewhere. ”

"Hey, don't forget," Tails gave Gilbert a blank look, "who made this covenant happen." ”

Gilbert smiled perfectly and lifted his hat.

"Also, Gilbert, what I told you yesterday......" Tails looked worried.

"Yes, Your Highness, since your identity no longer needs to be kept secret, and the Mindis Hall has resumed access...... I sent out in the afternoon to the lower town—it was not easy to get into that place, and the secret clerks were better suited than we were—to inquire into the beggars and the bartender, and if possible, I would do my best to take care of them, though we had almost no men in the lower town. ”

"Thank you. Tails looked at the former foreign secretary gratefully: "So I don't have to go to Morat." ”

"But you must understand that the Black Prophet's words are not unreasonable, Your Highness. Gilbert hesitated slightly, but he still looked up and said, "You are different from them after all, and it is not necessarily good for them to get too close to you...... Your help may be of little use to them, and may even lead to disaster. ”

Tails was silent for a moment.

"I know. ”

I know.

He nodded, exhaled, turned around, and straightened his collar.

"Madeira, are you ready, it's time to go. ”

A strange, faint metallic grinding sound came from outside the door.

Midila Rolf, staggering, stepping on a strange pair of metal prosthetics, stepped into their field of vision, and gave a slight bow to Tails.

Gilbert's eyebrows twitched.

Rolf's neck and half of his face were covered in a strange silver mask that blocked the fleshy throat and tattoos on his face, but even stranger were the prosthetics under his knees.

The Kingdom of the Stars befriended the dwarves of the City of Steel, and benefited greatly from the skills of the country's craftsmen - it took only two days for the ingenious royal craftsmen to create a pair of simple prosthetic limbs for Rolf - two pieces of high-quality, elastic steel sheets, bent into an L-shape, then struck into an elastic J-shape, reinforced with crystallized bends, and then made a fixing plate, attached to the knees, and fastened to his belt, so that Rolf could barely walk on foot without the help of crutches.

Of course, the maneuver in battle depends on his own ability to control the wind.

Tails raised an eyebrow: "Yes, it's just that the part below the knee is too eye-catching...... Next time, I'll cover it with my pants. ”

Midira Rolf lowered her head and pulled out a stack of pinned papers.

Gilbert suddenly realized that the other party was not hesitating, but rummaging through the sign language drawings in his hand.

The clumsy Rolf found the drawing he was asking for, and he looked at Tails, raised his right fist, bent his wrist, and tapped it lightly.

[Yes.] 】

Tails smiled lightly, "Good, all you lack is proficiency: sign language and prosthetics are all - just right, and you can continue the course on the road." ”

Rolf smiled, found another piece of paper, and made a gesture.

[Thank you.] 】

Gilbert sighed: "Since you have decided to go to the Northland with Your Highness to Exeter, I hope you will recognize the difficulties of this journey and do your best to protect Your Highness." ”

Rolf bowed his head slightly, and this time, instead of rummaging through the "cheat sheet", he recalled the gesture that should have been there and gestured.

Gilbert, who didn't know why, frowned, and finally could only look at Tails helplessly.

"He said," Tails replied with a smile, "to do his best." ”

Gilbert let out a breath and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, at least it's a good way to pass on the secret message......

This is the gang-born supernatural they rescued from the Grass Manor...... No, he's a super-rank, and although he's still very immature in combat, he's technically an alien warrior...... Why is it that you are so convinced by Your Highness?

Tails waved his hand lightly and snapped his fingers:

"Very well, let's go. ”

――――――

At the entrance of the Mindis Hall.

"How's it going, old friend?"

In front of a few carriages, Gilbert reached out and shook hands tightly with a thin man in the lead.

"It's bad," the thin man's face was very ugly, "The administrative efficiency of Yongxing City is far inferior to the frontline camp in the Western Wilderness. I came to the royal capital to buy the documents of the Great Library, but I lost my high-level access certificate a month ago, so I had to wait until now in the royal capital - only to be told that it would take half a year to reissue it. ”

"I'm guessing you're running out of money and that's why you're coming to me......" Gilbert replied with a smile.

"And you've got me such a troublesome messenger again......" the thin man sighed and looked at Tails with a scrambling gaze.

"You don't want me to give you money directly, do you?" Gilbert turned sideways, letting Tails figure out:

"This is Lord Putile Niemann, from Raven City in the Western Wilderness, and we used to study under the same governess," Gilbert introduced the unapologetic forty-year-old man in front of him to Tails:

"Putitile, who has traveled half the world as a troubadour, knows the geography of the continent and the customs of various countries very well, and has spent a long time in the Northlands—Your Highness, you have complained to me, and do not know much about the basic conditions of the world, and I think Putileh will be a good candidate, and he will be your deputy and your instructor all the way north. ”

"This is the second prince, His Highness Tyers—his wisdom will surprise you. ”

Putira, the thin man's face was displeased, but he still raised his right fist to his chest and saluted Tails.

"I'm glad to have the opportunity to ask for your ...... Putira, can I call you that?" Tails smiled back.

"Of course, you're a prince, you can call me whatever you want. Putile shrugged indifferently, not seeing the slightest hint of excitement and deference from His Royal Highness, the only prince of the Kingdom of Stars.

"I'm sorry, he has a bit of an odd temper, but I think you'll admire his knowledge and experience. Gilbert smiled at Tails, not in the least worried that the old friend's contempt would cause the second prince to feel disgusted.

Tails looked at the thin Putile in front of him, and then at the Highland Boots under his feet, his face was impassive, but he sighed deeply in his heart.

Fate.

It's him.

On the day Quaid went mad, the people of the Sixth House met a thin man in Highland boots at the West City Gate, with an ugly face and refused to give charity, so Ryan and Kellett gave him a "lesson" and touched the only card on his body.

Access card to the Bright Star Library.

At the time, I thought he was some kind of down-and-out scholar.

Tails rolled his eyes in a place that no one else could see: I'm sorry, Mr. Puttier, your library pass is in some abandoned house in Downtown.

Gilbert led him to the next man.

It was a young man in his twenties, with a sword at his waist, a resolute face and a tall figure, with an ordinary face but sharp eyes.

"This is the man Your Majesty and I have unanimously chosen to serve as your squire - both in Exeter in the Northlands and in the stars upon his return - he has only returned from the Tower of the End a few months ago," Gilbert looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes full of mixed emotions: "Wyay Cassel. ”

Tails reacted immediately and looked at Gilbert suspiciously: "Cassel?"

"Well, hopefully this doesn't offend you, after all, nepotism...... But I promise that he is the elite who has been screened and left behind," Gilbert sighed, "but he is indeed my son." ”

The young man, Wyah Cassel, did not look at his father, and saluted respectfully: "First meeting, Your Highness Tails. ”

"My sword and my wisdom are at your disposal. ”

"For the rest of your life, I will serve you wholeheartedly. ”

Tails is a little embarrassed, as soon as they meet, they will "rest of their lives" and "one life", is this really good?

But he nodded happily in return, "I'll rely on you along the way, Wya." ”

Huaiya bowed his head respectfully: "This life is here for you to drive." ”

Tails rolled his eyes again.

Gilbert is obviously very sociable, but what about his son......

Somewhat...... Should I say serious or stunned?

But he also sensed that Wya's was not quite on the right track with Gilbert.

Father-son relationship is cold?

Gilbert sighed, and Tails continued on.

This time, when Tails saw the figure under the cloak, he shouted in surprise without introduction:

"It's you!"

The petite figure under the cloak turned around with his waist crossed.

"Yes," the other party said with a big grin, neither respectful nor cold, but made people feel sincere: "It's me!"

Gilbert (who seems to have seen his son after seeing him) said with a blank face: "You should have seen this, she, like Yodel, was one of His Majesty's secret guards, and His Majesty specially transferred her out of the ...... this time."

"Hey, hey, hey, what a tune-up! Cather, you can't call me!" interrupted Gilbert by the cloaked woman who was hiding her face, and she walked up unceremoniously to Tails, and in front of the stunned traverser, she patted him on the shoulder with her left hand and pointed her right thumb at herself:

"Boy, my name is Ada!"

"Ada?"

Tails was stunned: "Ida Wang (ada_wong)?"

"Boom!"

Under the ugly faces of Gilbert and the others, Eda smacked Tails on the head!

"I'm not a nightman in the Far East......" she whistled as Tails grinned and rubbed her head, "Listen, my name is Eda Lorakat Gissai......"

Eda seemed to be hit by some obstacle, and she scratched her head for a few seconds.

In the end, the woman in the cloak still put down her hand weakly and said in disappointment:

"Well, forget it, the name is so long that I can't remember it sometimes...... You call me Edad. ”

Tails looked at Edda dumbfounded.

I only feel that the original serious outlook on life has been refreshed once.

But...... This feeling of being knocked on the head...... It's familiar.

A few familiar figures appeared in front of him—he didn't know what happened to Yara, and the children, and he only got some vague information from Morat's mouth.

"Lady Edda," Gilbert's face turned pale, "next time, please pay attention to your behavior towards Your Highness......"

Tails touched his head, which was gradually losing pain, and noticed that Gilbert, although dissatisfied, had no intention of holding him accountable.

So--he also acquiesced: this guy's right to knock the prince's head?

"What's the matter!" Eda said dissatisfiedly, "Can't I knock him—even Kayla didn't dare to have any opinion when I knocked Mindis on the head......"

Tails' face froze, noticing that Gilbert didn't refute.

Wait a minute.

Mindis Kayla?

Which Mindice in the royal family is it?

Kayla, is she the master of the Extreme Realm in the royal family, the "wolf enemy" Kayla Bright Star two hundred years ago?

Her voice sounded young, but ......

Tails lifted his eyes and looked at Edda—how old was she?

Tails lifted the smile with difficulty:

"Ms. Edda...... Hehe, you're really ...... It's very lively. ”

"That's right!"

Edda, under the cloak, seemed to be happy, and smashed a fist on the palm of his hand: "That's what my whole family says!"

"That's it! They kicked me out!"

Tails rolled his eyes fiercely, unabashedly.

Gilbert coughed violently, attracting the attention of several carriages:

"Everyone, if there is no problem, you can get to the road and run in again...... I believe everyone knows the destination and mission of this trip. ”

"But if there is no doubt, let us get in the carriage," he said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty and several dukes are at the North City Gate, waiting to see off the mission." ”

Jorah nodded, and the thirty Bright Star Private Soldiers got busy.

Gilbert nodded to Tails and put him in the carriage.

The solemn-looking prince's chamberlain, Wyah Cassel, stared at the odd-looking Rolf with a bad face, but still got into the same carriage with the Ghost of the Wind and the Second Prince under the smiling face of Tails.

"Putira!"

Gilbert called out to the skinny man who was about to get into the car.

Putirai turned around expressionlessly.

I saw the former Foreign Secretary, Earl Gilbert Cassel, with a solemn face: "I have entrusted the prince and the future of the entire star to you. ”

"You've traveled half the world, from the Battle of Crystal City, the Year of Blood, the Desert War, the Confederate Civil War, the War of Steel and the Trees, to the War of the Humble Succession and the Night War in the Eastern Continent, you have seen countless wars and wars - you know how cruel it is, and you are here to fight the war for the stars......"

"Alright!" Putirai interrupted the old friend.

This thin man still had a displeased face, but there was a gleam in his eyes:

"I took it. ”

"It's the same as it was twelve years ago. ”

――――――

Note: Ida Wang, ada_wong, a popular character in the "Resident Evil" series of games, of course, it is impossible for Tails to know these things in his previous life, they were all instilled in him by someone.
