[Slow Travel] Assassin System - Mingguang

Jun Ying sat on the window sill, quietly watching the distant sea waves, and heard the conversation across the sea.

【Brother, I know I was wrong...】

The girl's listless voice sounded, with a little sob.

Jun Ying thought maliciously, it seems that the little prince has already tamed his cousin, and the princess was in awe and closeness to him, thanks to the queen who was relieved.

No wonder he has such thoughts, after all, if the eagle and the prince of Ceylon were swapped, he would do the same - control the immature crown prince, deceive the old queen, clear all obstacles when necessary, and finally ascend to the throne.

What about a broken leg?The bloodline of the Prince of Ceylon couldn't be more orthodox. Even if he further loses his fertility, it is not impossible to get the throne...

At least, it is much easier than his eagle.

And Junying is very happy to see the little princess in trouble. This arrogant girl is a typical Stuart princess. Her blue eyes and blond hair remind him of his biological mother, not to mention, she is also an "Etty".

Why?This childish, vain, weak and arrogant girl.

Born with the most noble lineage, the most noble status, and the most selfless mother.

I only heard the little princess timidly say: [...but I think the fever this time is due to catching a cold, not the pigeon, brother, please don’t be angry, okay? 】

【No, Aina, I've never been angry because of this incident...】The boy's voice sounded unhurriedly, 【I'm just very worried, even a little bit. 】

【Aina, my aunt never told you, how did I lose my legs—I was not born like this, but was disabled because of an accident. 】

Hearing this, Junying raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Using himself to judge others, he determined that the source of the little prince's hatred and inferiority complex was the disabled legs, because this was the reason why he could not inherit the throne and endure the pain. He did not expect that he would take advantage of this...

The young man's voice became a bit intermittent, but Junying still got a general idea. The little prince was indeed recalling the events of the year, and told the story in a straightforward manner without too many personal emotions mixed in.

The problem, however, is that it is too peaceful.

Whether it is describing the companions who encouraged him to go out when he was young, or introducing the culprit who caused the injury, in the choice of words and sentences, the little prince has always used concise and objective descriptions, and no negative emotions can be heard in his voice.

...like telling an old story instead of the past that happened to me.

Junying thinks that he is a person who understands human nature, even pirates who can "read minds" cannot escape his strategy. He has always been very accurate in seeing people, and this time is the same.

For a moment, Junying seemed to see himself when he was young, but could he also do this at that time?Can he be so objective when talking about his parents with others, as if he has nothing to do with him?

Even if you are fully prepared, it is still difficult.

But this little prince did it. He made up such a story, deceived the queen and the crown prince, controlled the royal family, and established his own power under Nightingale's system as a prince.

A 17-year-old boy has such a deep city!

Junying has never used the utmost malice to speculate on other people's thoughts. At this time, he took it for granted that he had found the same kind, and a deep sense of disgust followed in his heart.

Sure enough, the royal family of Niaterbo is such a dirty place, and all the griffins are the same, either greedy, arrogant, or stupid.

And in the capital of the country across the ocean, the story of the elder brother and the younger sister continues. As the little prince narrates the past, the shocked little princess asks: [...how could this be!Are there no 'Nightingales' by my brother's side?And who has the guts to murder the prince in Nordnore! 】

[Why is it impossible? 】The young man asked gently, 【Aina, we sit in this position, we have to bear the corresponding risks. 】

The little girl was still retorting in disbelief: [But my brother is different!Brother is so powerful, so he will be hurt like this——! 】

Her elder brother replied calmly: [Aina, no matter what their origin, everyone is a mortal, and I am just an ordinary human being. 】

[I will lose and die. 】

Junying played with the knife in his hand, and smiled in a low voice after hearing this... Hey, he is a sensible person, and he lives more clearly than that woman.

Such people can often afford to lose, and will not show any despicable ugliness when they are dying.

Junying really hated the royal family of Niaterbo deeply, but at the same time he longed for the position of king morbidly. He actually recognized the existence of the royal family. He believed that power and the throne were the best rewards—and therefore , he couldn't even see the glory of the royal family being tarnished.

As with all epic dramas worth watching, the victor's blade will only decapitate the hero, and twisted maggots are not worthy of the stage.

An opponent like this little prince is worthy of his royal background and qualified to be his enemy.

Perhaps the rare high temperature made him weak, Junying listened to the intermittent comforting words from the young man in his ears, and unconsciously recalled the long past.

In that extravagant and secret private theater, the woman in fancy dress hugged her young son whom she had barely met, pretending to comfort her gently——

'...my baby, my eagle, I never thought of abandoning you, it's all the fault of this bastard, he wants to scare me by threatening to hurt you, of course I'm going to kill him! '

Behind the woman is a pair of huge snow-white wings, pure and dazzling, more sacred than all the messengers of the gods in mythology, she is so beautiful, and she exudes an indescribable good smell.

If she hadn't had her murdered lover lying at her feet, if she hadn't held that cup of poisoned wine in her hand, if she hadn't tried to seduce and poison her own son...

That would be great.

'My little eagle, don't be afraid, drink it, have a good sleep, mother will take you back. '

The young child drank the glass of wine in silence, so his mother finally showed belated love and sadness, she even shed tears, she hugged the child, regretting that he was not her legitimate child——!

Naturally, the child's small body went limp, and he closed his eyes weakly, calling for his mother in a murmur, as if he wanted to confide in his last whisper.

The mother was finally willing to bend down, and leaned her ear to the child's mouth...

At this moment, the child suddenly opened his eyes, and the illegitimate child pierced the skin of the birth mother's neck with poisonous blood.

A dishonest wife kills a despicable lover, and a cruel son bears the birth mother. This is not a deep love between father and son, but the hatred and resentment from an illegitimate son.

From the beginning to the end, the so-called lover was just a despicable guy with a glamorous skin, he never had any "divine favor", and there was only one person who really had the "poisonous blood" of the divine grace--the child under ten years old, The Queen's bloodline is "Harp Eagle".

The poison in the wine was far inferior to the poisonous blood of the eagle, he would never be killed by this kind of thing, and his mother did not pay attention to this immature child from the beginning to the end, and finally suffered retribution.

The dying queen is unbelievable, clutching her throat and struggling on the stage floor, the hate and fear in her eyes are so similar to the lover who died at her hand a few minutes ago, when the bastard laughed and said 'mother, I have the antidote , I want to ask you a few questions' when...

Haha, this noble queen actually begged for her own child tearfully!

But Jun Ying couldn't laugh at that time. He thought that although she was the cruelest and ruthless mother in the world, she was also a resolute and powerful king, but this woman who became a pitiful wretch in the face of death broke his fantasy.

How can you be like this? !

why are you crying!what are you asking for!Are you not a noble king? !how could you do this!

Jun Ying was greatly disappointed, he pretended to reveal his murderous intention, and the woman who knew that there was no hope of survival started to curse, she spit out a string of dirty and stinky words, that crazy appearance on the verge of death was really ugly.

The flame was ignited, the theater was burned, and Nightingale, who had been delayed by the Queen, finally arrived late, and found a man and a woman who died in a miserable state, as well as a pair of children's skeletons in the fire scene.

……

[Don't be afraid, those things are over... Go to sleep, I will watch over you tonight. 】

The young man's voice tore Junying out of his memory, followed by the little cousin's answer: [Brother, I want to hear my brother sing, my brother's voice is so nice, and he doesn't sing... I haven't heard it once. 】

Junying threw the knife in his hand to the wall and closed his eyes irritably.

Sing?Oh, his biological father knew love songs, and his mother probably liked to listen to them too.

[Probably because I'm not good at interpreting music, can hymns be okay? 】The little prince chuckled softly.

[No, hymns are too common, they must be related to stars. 】The princess is coquettish softly.

After thinking about it for a while, the young man hesitated and said: 【The stars... well, then I only know one song, a funeral song written for myself by people wandering among the stars. 】

The girl made a sound of longing, so the boy didn't refuse anymore, he hummed a few words out of tune, and then softly sang the ballad in his memory.

Jun Ying leaned against the window sill, quietly listening to this tune he had never heard before.

Its rhythm is soothing and bright. Although it describes the stars and the universe above the sky, the lyrics are a bit weird. It is not like a funeral song, but rather a carol, praising the stars and the sky, longing for survival and flying.

Junying listened to this, and unexpectedly felt a little drowsy. Outside his window sill at this time, the setting sun in the sky gradually fell into the sea, and the night of this continent was about to fall.

On the other side of the sea, the young man humming in a low voice is about to usher in the morning light of a new day.

As the princess fell into a drowsy sleep, the last few lines of lyrics fell gently.

In the vast sky, the stars are shining, spreading their wings and flying high in the land of no one.

*

Cecilia's high fever was cured overnight, and nothing worrying about it happened. Both the court doctor and the priest from the church agreed that the little princess was in good health.

The queen firmly believed that this was the grace of the Lord. She went to the church many times to thank the gods, and had a good talk with the archbishop.

"Bishop Cornwallis is a pious and benevolent man. He is good in everything, but he is a little out of date..." The queen secretly preached to Miao, "Oh, he is still unwilling to introduce mechanical technology. It’s a great example, what a pity.”

Miao Xuan also replied in a low voice: "Don't let Aina hear this, she can hardly hide her arrogance towards the Holy See."

"I don't know who Aina is following this point. I have never been ambitious, and her father is the most amiable, gentle and honest person in the world."

The queen sighed, and then couldn't help but said, "But this child's arrogance is well-founded, and she has become more and more gentle recently-Mona, she has been learning from you."

The little princess grew up visible to the naked eye after being cured from a high fever, but a child of this age naturally likes to imitate her older relatives. After Xuan Chang lived in Nordnor, she also began to learn from her brother's behavior.

Miao Xuan laughed: "After all, I'm still a child, no matter how big it is, I forget it the next day. I used to be like this too, but don't spoil her too much."

The queen sighed: "Mona, in my opinion, you are just a child. Besides, you are completely different from her. You are so similar to your elder brother and sister-in-law, but Aina... Oh, how can I not love her? She It's so cute, it's almost like an angel."

The queen is unwilling to punish her youngest daughter, and it is impossible for Miao Xuan to accompany her cousin all the time. Unilateral knowledge instillation may not have the best effect, but if the child is given a relatively rich environment...

Miao Xuan thought for a while, and suggested: "How about setting up a class in the palace, and invite children from noble families to go to school together?"

The Queen was taken aback, and after a brief hesitation, she began to think about the possibility: "This...has never been precedent before, is this okay?"

"Why not?" Miao Xuan explained to the queen, "Aina received the education of the crown prince, and she must learn to cooperate and identify companions, regardless of gender."

"Besides, boys can still choose to go to public schools, while girls only have tutors. I think more girls should receive better education. Aina can find more friends who support her in the future."

The queen was a little confused: "You mean to train female officials for Aina...?"

Miao Xuan nodded: "Yes, female officer, but I am referring to female officials, officials who can enter the parliament and the cabinet."

If female officials are really no longer only responsible for the private lives of members of the royal family, but enter the parliament openly... This is even more shocking than the royal school!

The queen could think of the controversy that would cause, and the interests behind it.

"Steam technology can make up for women's physical weaknesses. There are many female workers in large factories now. In terms of thinking and mind, I don't think there is a big difference between the sexes. A little gap can even make up for each other." Miao Xuan She blinked and smiled again, "Auntie, I think that in the not-too-distant future, women will have a social status no lower than that of men."

The multiple worlds that Miao Xuan has experienced have proved this rule with history. He does not think this world will be an exception, and Nia Telbo also has a unique condition, that is, three successive queens ascended the throne.

——As long as it can be proved that female monarchs will no longer be the last choice of the royal family, but the appropriate successors, then they can raise the status of women before the royal family's rights are completely deprived.

"So you think so!" The queen was surprised and pleasantly surprised, she couldn't help laughing for a while, and then thoughtfully said, "It would be great if everything you said could come true, but now It's hard to change the situation, and it's going to be a long tug-of-war."

"Mona, let me think again... let me think again."

*

Midsummer is approaching, and the best climate of the year is ushered in the land of Niaterb, and the social season of Nordnor has also reached its climax. At a royal ball, the queen officially announced her daughter The royal academy established by the princess.

Of course, she didn't mention too many details, but she just gently looked forward to seeing more children of the same age. She didn't hold a meeting with the cabinet to discuss this matter, but there was always someone who could continue the conversation.

Old Percival: "..."

Old Percival: "My youngest daughter happens to be the same age as the princess. I wonder if she has the honor to study with His Highness."

The Queen smiled kindly: It is indeed you.

The Prime Minister raised his glass to indicate: God bless Your Majesty.

So the queen nodded: "Of course, it's little Caroline, she is really a lovely little lady, Aina really likes her."

The prime minister bowed: "It is a great honor! I thank you and the princess for your appreciation on her behalf."

These two people who have worked together for most of their lives reached a tacit agreement on this matter, so this matter was finalized.

The establishment of the school was of course not easy, but the queen took care of this matter herself. She set up the academy in the palace, recruited Nightingale to re-arm it, and carefully considered the selection of teachers. Compared with the education methods of universities and colleges, we are looking for advantages.

In order to unite with the Holy See, the Queen specially hired several monks from the Holy Church as the children's theology teachers.

So several highly respected old priests entered the palace, and at the same time brought young monks as teaching assistants, including the adopted son of the bishop.

Miao Xuan didn't expect this matter to affect Zacharias, and then he remembered that this shy little friend had offered to help him heal his legs, but he was delayed recently due to his busy schedule.

But he procrastinated, but Zacharias didn't mention it anymore, as if their meeting in the church was just a whim coincidence, Miao Xuan hesitated for a while, but decided not to bring it up.

——His request is likely to be too much pressure on the child, not to mention that the legs can't be cured at all, so there is no need to leave any more regrets.

No one knows the state of modeling this time better than Miao Xuan. Except for the resurrection armor, his legs have no possibility of healing at all, because they are reconstructed by divine grace, and they are just attached to the two deformed parts of the body. Meat.

In other words, if he didn't want to delete the number and rush forward, he could only drag this body to kill the target one.

Miao Xuan: ...

Miao Xuan took a look at his puppet, and felt that it was not impossible.

The "weakness" of the ontology does not mean that he is weak. Miao Xuan never showed the real changes in this modeling to anyone.

Not to mention the hero's own skills, he has never even revealed that the puppet can imitate, and has always used three fixed skins. Even the deputy in the carrier pigeon thought that the boss's puppet only had these three states.

Miao Xuan had already had this strange premonition that the target one would definitely return to Nordnore, and he must have an indistinguishable close relationship with the royal family.

And no matter what disguise Target One appears in, he will definitely be able to recognize him.

So the people who are really lurking in the dark are not just target one.

*

September passed, autumn was approaching, and the weather tables in Nordnor were once again filled with rain, sour rain falling from the sky covered with factory soot, turning the capital into a muddy swamp.

Even though the means of transportation are constantly updated and the prototypes of the vehicles are already running on the main road, it is still very uncomfortable to go out in this season. Miao Xuan simply hides in the palace and lets the puppets walk around instead of him. .seven

The college that the queen had been preparing for for a long time also started successfully. The little princess finally found a playmate. Coupled with the strange increase in classwork (Miao Xuan: heh), she finally had a way to release her energy, which is touching.

Just before winter, a small-scale conflict suddenly broke out on Akenas on the other side of the sea. The dispatched teams of many countries were involved in this dispute together, but the countries that thought they were weaker launched one after another. , In the end, only roses and irises remained.

The old way.

However, under the premise of a limited number of people but a vast territory and abundant resources, Rose and Iris incited the local local forces and expanded the battle.

Just... the old plot with new tricks.

With the carrier pigeons, the battle report was quickly delivered to Miao Xuan. However, as a prince without inheritance rights, he has no right to make decisions about it. The movement of the army is a matter for the cabinet and the army. He can only watch the outbreak of the war .

The only person related to Miao Xuan is probably his little friend. As the situation became more and more tense, Ian also arrived at the front line, and he might die in battle at any time.

However, those who can be selected as targets are those who can affect the changes in the world line. Miao Xuan is not so worried about Ian's life, he is just a little worried about whether these big brothers can come back in full.

—As long as you are conscious and alive, goals must have an impact, and disability does not affect this.

Especially in the past few days, the fighting has become increasingly fierce, and Mrs. Parcival, the female officer next to the queen, is often out of her mind. According to Aina, her friend is also worried about her brother.

It can be seen that although old Percival is not a loyal and good person, his family has a quite harmonious relationship.

At the end of September, the battle report from the ocean was delivered, and the good news was delivered to the people. Niaterbo won a preliminary victory.

At the same time, Miao Xuan finally received Ian's letter. This letter is quite long, but its content is not coherent. It is more like a diary than a letter, and it can be read every few paragraphs. Seeing the difference in time, he briefly described what the young man had seen and heard along the way, his experience in the military camp, and his mental journey under the baptism of war.

As the handwriting gradually became scribbled, the author's narration became more mature and sophisticated, and Miao Xuan was very pleased to see it.

Along with the battle report and family letter, the rest of the information related to Akernas was sent. These are first-hand information collected by carrier pigeons. They are very messy and need to be summarized and summarized. It is clear at a glance that the workload is huge.

From local customs and customs to specialty mineral deposits, from the distribution of military forces of various countries to the division of forces not affiliated to the country... the members of Pigeon are very responsible, and they have recorded almost everything they think is "worth noting".

Miao Xuan sadly flipped through the thick stack of materials waiting to be summed up, but among the photo-realistic sketches, he saw a very different portrait at a glance.

This is also a young man with black hair and black eyes, who stands out among the portraits of important figures, not only because of his face and body like a knife, but also because of the unique temperament contained in his eyebrows and eyes.

Miao Xuan was attracted at a glance. He was obviously a stranger, but it gave him a strange sense of familiarity. Apart from this strange familiarity, this man's temperament was also very outstanding, which is not common among leaders. The firm and confident, but the silence that is almost dead, it looks a bit like... a cliff without light.

The person who painted the portrait is one of the members of Pigeon. Her divine grace is related to painting. No one can match her realism. Miao Xuan has always used people as self-propelled cameras.

In other words, the characters depicted in these portraits are very realistic, and they have both god-like shapes. They are basically the same as the paintings, without any artistic processing.

Miao Xuan turned over the painting and saw the written records behind it—this person turned out to be the leader of the emerging pirate force, and he also indicated his nationality, and he has been trying to help Niatalbe's army. No small help.

Drake Brown nicknamed "The Sea Monster"?

Miao Xuan laughed and put down the information.

"Sea Monster" is a veritable nickname, and it really suits him.

According to Niaterbo's practice of giving preferential treatment to "patriotic pirates" in recent years, this sea monster might still get a knighthood after a few more years of hard work. The future is promising.
