Chapter 18: The End of the Scroll: The Bloodline of the Kingdom
Accidents - Tails lowered his head, and a heavy helplessness came out of his heart - accidents always came suddenly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
At that moment, Tails seemed to see the smile of the Qi Demon Master, who did not argue whether it was true or false, and said to him, "Look, this is an accident. β
Yodel silently withdrew the fire.
The middle-aged nobleman calmed down his excitement, he looked at Tails and patted him on the head gently.
"Kid, it's fine. β
"I'm Gilbert Cassel, and you can trust me as your father believed in me. β
"Come, child, I'll take you home. β
"Go to your father. β
Tails slowed down for a full minute.
During this time, both yodel and Gilbert waited patiently for him.
"Let's go. Tails looked up, his eyes calm.
Kilbert nodded, his eyes approving, and he stood up and gestured in the direction of the carriage.
Tails turned his head and looked at Yodel:
"Yodel, you'll follow me, too, won't you?"
"Of course," Yodel's hoarse voice sounded, but it was extremely reassuring to Tails' ears at the moment, "please go first, I'll be by your side." β
Tails took a deep breath and strode towards the carriage.
"Mr. Gilbert. β
"Yes, little sir, what do you command?"
"What did you do before?"
"Foreign affairs, my little sir. β
Foreign affairs?
Tails turned his head slightly, rolling his eyes at yodel behind him from an angle that Gilbert couldn't see.
Tails turned his head.
For some reason, he vaguely felt that yodel seemed to be smiling behind the mask.
Tails arrived at the carriage, which was a simple, but expensive carriage at first glance, and the glass on the black door was decorated with crystall.
Two tall, black-haired horses chewed quietly, and one of them approached Gilbert affectionately.
Looking at the tall pedals, Tails measured the height of his seven-year-old child, a little worried.
But before he could turn his head, Gilbert, who was beside him, pulled the car door open, carried him in, and placed him on the couch in the crimson compartment.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't have a boarding bench. Gilbert smiled apologetically and closed the door.
"But I promise it's the last time. β
Tails sat alone on the wide sofa, which was made of unknown materials, and although it was comfortable, he was a little restless.
The corners of the carriage were illuminated with luminous paint, and he could barely see the decoration of the car, only to see a star framed in a circle at the back of the carriage, firmly inlaid on it.
One, two, three, four, five... Nine, nine horned stars.
Tails thought silently to himself: this is a nine-pointed star.
Before he could come to his senses, the carriage started.
Tails climbed into the window, it was dark, and the view outside the window was not clear.
Tails sat back down on the couch bored.
"Yodel, are you there?" he asked tentatively.
Immediately there was a reply in my ear:
"Yes. β
Tails was startled and stood up and looked around, but there was no one inside or outside the carriage, except for Gilbert, who was driving.
Forget it, I'm used to it anyway.
Tails sat back on the couch and continued, "Where have we been?"
"Ahead is the Mindis Hall. The hoarse voice came again.
Min - Min - Min Di - Min Fourth?
Forget it, I don't know it myself anyway.
Who would have thought that a few hours ago, he was bleeding to survive in an abandoned house and was injured trying to escape on the streets of Hongfang, and now?
Tails patted the couch under his buttocks, not knowing who his father was in this life.
Whatever, the soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, even the strange existence of the magician who will not die has been encountered, what else can scare me?
The traverser exhaled, feeling a little hot, and ripped off the tattered clothes on his chest.
Accidentally pulled the wound in the chest.
Tails hissed, looking at the burn on his chest.
On the edge of the wound that was burned by Quaid, there seemed to be a circle of antique characters that were printed backwards.
It wasβthe king does not respect bloodβand Tails remembered the words on the silver coin.
He slapped his head suddenly.
Mindis - Mindis Silver Coins?
That's not, isn't that the generation of virtuous kings of the Star Kingdom?
Wait, Mindis Hall?
The carriage stopped suddenly.
Still at a loss for words in the chaos and ignorance, Tails was respectfully asked out of the car by Gilbert.
Under the car, there is a delicate small garden, paved with hard but indistinguishable floor tiles, and in the middle of the garden is a delicate fountain, which spews water from the mouth of a stone dragon that roars to the sky.
Tails turned his head in a daze, and looked at the big black iron gate in the garden, the black iron gate seemed to be carved with relief, and Tails didn't recognize any of the scenes on it, but there was a big flag standing on the left and right of the iron gate, fluttering in the wind.
On the flag, there are silver crosses with white edges and blue backgrounds: two silver crosses, one large and one small, are stacked on top of each other, and the small cross is at the lower right of the big doji.
Tails recognized it, and the highest flag flying at the West Gate was also this pattern.
White border, blue background, silver cross double star.
Flag of the Kingdom of the Stars.
The two flags in the garden are embroidered with a small nine-pointed star in gold and silver, four gold horns and five silver horns, in the lower left corner of the big silver cross.
It was the pattern engraved on the back of the carriage.
Tails came back to his senses, and in front of him was a beautiful three-story house, with eight beautifully carved columns supporting the large balcony on the second floor, and in the middle of the top floor, a window was lit.
The main entrance to the house was made of cedar - Tails had seen a furniture merchant selling a large square fir table for fifty gold coins at the large bazaar next to the west gate.
Later, of course, he "voluntarily" sold the square table to the Black Street Brotherhood at a discounted price of one gold coin.
Tails followed Gilbert in a daze, refused Yodel's gesture to open his arms, and persisted through the wounds and exhaustion of his body, and walked through the door carved out of the giant fir with difficulty.
The doorways and halls, including the corridors leading up the spiral staircase, stood in the light of the ornate inextinguishable lampholders burning with eternal oil, and stood guards, each seemingly hand-picked, of equal height, full of swords, shields, and crossbows, and the metal shields were all emblems of gold and silver nine-pointed stars.
Tails held on to the handrail on the side of the stairs and walked slowly up to the second floor.
On the second floor, on the wall facing the main entrance of the house, three portraits are hung.
In the center is a young knight with heroic hair and a spear, the knight's face is heroic and the expression is magnificent, and he wears a crown of silver seven stars on his head, fearlessly advancing against the background of the tragic battlefield.
On the left is a sturdy sword and shield warrior, with an all-silver nine-pointed star on the shield, wearing a nine-star crown on his head, with a resolute and heroic face, and a lush and glorious towering tree in the background.
On the right is a seated statue of a kind and kind middle-aged man, with a brightly lit city in the background, holding a precious scepter inlaid with brilliant kyanite in his left hand, and a thick book on his right hand with five different patterns of sun, stars, and moons.
The temperament of the three nobles is different, but the painter seems to have captured the charm of each of the three well, and Tails stares blankly at the portrait as if he were a real person.
It seems that it is really a great nobleman who has been inherited for a long time.
It's a pity that Tails doesn't know any of them.
Wait, why is that handsome middle-aged guy so familiar?
Tails was about to lift his clothes to look at the head that had been branded on his chest when a steady footstep came.
"It was Tormund I, the last prince of the final empire, the founder of the stars, the 'King of Revival' (king_of_renaissance), whose bravery in the final battle is still celebrated to this day. β
"On the left is Midil IV, the comrade-in-arms of the hero Sara and the Prophet Capon, the protector of the sacred tree, the 'Oath Keeper' (oath_keeper), and since him and his elven queen, the Bright Star royal family has elven blood. β
"Finally, there was Mindis III, the 'virtuous king' (the_wise_king), who praised his wise rule, from nobles to priests, merchants to beggars. β
The voice was heavy and majestic, coming low, but like a thunderbolt hidden in the dark clouds, it shook faintly.
Behind them, Gilbert and Yodel got down on one knee.
Tails swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked up slightly.
A sturdy figure slowly walked in front of him, and its mighty and resolute face always reminded the traveler of the sword and shield warrior on the left side of the wall.
This is a strong, black-haired, high-nosed, deep-eyed nobleman in the prime of life, with sky-blue pupils as sharp as a sword, and a scepter in his left hand, standing in front of Tails's eyes, carefully examining him.
Tails was a little dumbfounded, looking back at the nobleman in front of him.
He couldn't help but tense.
In the experience of being a human being in two lives, no one has taught him, what to do at this time.
The sturdy nobleman looked at him for a long time, so long that even Tails was a little embarrassed.
But his gaze did not make Tails feel kind or reassured at all, but made him stressed and a little breathless.
To put it mildly, even Ashida Sackne's crazy eyes are more pleasant than this.
But the traverser suddenly noticed that the sturdy nobleman in front of him was wearing a nine-star crown on his head, which was a bit like the nine-star crown worn by the sword and shield warrior on the painting, and the scepter on his left hand looked like the crystal-inlaid scepter in the hand of the middle-aged man on the right.
Gilbert reminded in a low voice, "Son, this is your father. β
"Father?"
Tails lowered his eyes and looked at the star-blue cloak behind the other party, and couldn't help but mutter.
The face of his father in the previous life was slowly reflected in his mind, but it was a little blurry.
Tails took a deep breath and refocused his gaze.
"Who are you?"
He heard his own voice coming out of the flat.
The sturdy nobleman did not answer, only frowned slightly.
At this moment, Gilbert raised his head and solemnly spoke in a tone full of authority and solemnity, and without questioning:
"This is Kessel Mindis Eddie Bright Star, the fifth Kessel in the family.
The final imperial orthodox remnant of the empire, the successor of the revival king Tormund.
Co-lord of the Ludols and Northlanders on the Western Continent, conqueror of the Dragonscark Throne and the Desert God Altar.
Protector of the Sacred Tree and the Duchy of Thera, and guardian of the Steel City and the Freedom Alliance.
The Iron Man (the_iron_fist), the thirty-ninth supreme king of the Kingdom of Stars, the Southern Isles, and the Western Desert. β
Tails only felt a chill in his heart, and his breathing accelerated.
A suffocating pressure came as if it were substance.
Kessel looked at Tails with a deep look in his eyes.
After a while, he turned his head to look at Gilbert and Yodl on either side.
The sturdy king, Kessel V, in his heavy and thick voice, said word by word:
"He is my descendant, the bloodline of the kingdom?"
"The entire Star Kingdom, the last and only bloodline?"
