[Slow Travel] Assassin System - Mingguang

"Why did you appear here!" Miao Xuan wanted to go crazy, he covered his forehead, full of helplessness, "Yes, I brought you into the palace, but you shouldn't have sneaked into your aunt's bedroom !!"

Drake squatted obediently beside his wheelchair. At this height, he happened to be at the same level as Miao Xuan. In the past, the tall pirate governor looked like a domestic mastiff or leopard at the moment, but fortunately, he could That ridiculous silly skirt was torn off, the upper body was bare, and only a pair of tight-fitting trousers were worn-not aristocratic style, but it looked like a version that workers or sailors would love.

Miao Xuan glanced at him and became angry: "You!! You also found that skirt from your aunt's dressing room, right? How can you wear the Queen's skirt!"

Drake lowered his head, his eyelids drooped so that thick lashes covered his dark eyes, and he looked a little cute, hell.

Derek moved forward unobtrusively, and explained in a calm voice: "But, there are only His Majesty's dresses in the dressing room... I randomly found the black dress in the farthest corner, its fabric is the most common, The way to make it is also the simplest, it must not be His Majesty's clothes, maybe it was put there by the maid, I can compensate for it."

Of course, Miao Xuan couldn't tell what was in the queen's wardrobe. He only had a rough knowledge of fabrics and sewing. After a long time, he immediately gave a favorable answer.

"Your Highness, he is right, it really belongs to me—" the head maid handed over the tray with a straight face, "Your Excellency Governor, please get dressed."

Miao Xuan glanced at the tray in horror, and then was glad to find that there were normal and decent men's clothes on the plate, which made him greatly relieved.

The head maid is experienced, and despite the shock, her professionalism is still functioning as usual. She can see the size of Drake at a glance, so she spent a lot of effort to find a set that can be used in a short time. Clothes - While Drake looks like a palace guard in his clothes, it's nothing short of decent compared to his women's attire.

Drake nodded his thanks to the head maid, who was expressionless and her eyes twitched.

Miao Xuan supported his head helplessly, and said slowly after a long while: "Ma'am, you haven't had a good rest since your aunt was seriously ill. Now that your aunt is sleeping soundly, you should go to sleep for a while."

The head maid shook her head and looked at Miao Xuan distressedly: "No, Your Highness, you have been keeping vigil and staying with you for several days, and you have hardly slept at all, so you need to rest even more!"

Drake immediately agreed: "That's right, Your Highness should go to bed first, I will guard His Majesty for you—"

Before the words were finished, Miao Xuan and the head maid vibrated at the same time: "Shut up, you!", "Your Excellency, please observe the etiquette!"

So Drake shut up obediently, and he looked at Miao Xuan quietly—his Highness had indeed not had a good rest for a long time. It is also haggard that cannot be concealed.

Drake sneaked into the palace recklessly because he was worried because he had not heard from Miao Xuan for a long time.

Miao Xuan is of course grateful for Drake's kindness, but he is also very troubled by his unexpected behavior. This guy has the ability to restrain most people. If he is allowed to move freely, who knows who will suffer next.

"Madam, I will go to sleep, and then I will leave it to you." Miao Xuan compromised, and he softly comforted the head maid, and then said to the big sea monster standing beside him, "Your Excellency, please Come with me, although it is rude, but since you have come to the palace, please don't leave my side."

——In special times, don’t give me any big surprises.

Miao Xuan felt that this request was too much, but Drake was very happy. When he thought that His Highness invited him to share the bed (not), from puppet peeping screen to real person, this surprise was even mixed with A little shy.

Of course, Miao Xuan didn't know what outrageous things this pirate governor was thinking. His body really needed to rest, but his consciousness could still persist. When his weak body was sleeping, he would use his puppet to continue to act.

This is the way he can stay up for several days and nights - but this method will still damage the modeling body, and Miao Xuan generally does not use it.

The architectural design of the palace is very practical. When he was really resting, Miao Xuan directly arranged Drake in the guest room connected to the master bedroom. Let’s not think about how this ambiguous design contains the magical brain circuits of previous generations of royal relatives. , anyway, it can be regarded as providing convenience at the moment.

After the sea monster was settled, Miao Xuan lay flat on the bed: "Tong'er, I will leave the monitoring to you."

The small system took the order: [Don't worry brother, I will report as soon as that guy makes any movement. 】

*

After several days of intermittent torment, the queen finally had a peaceful sleep, and the head maid couldn't help but smile, and stood by the hospital bed expectantly.

The doctors who are in charge of treating and comforting the patients can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and as one of the most important attending physicians, Zacharias finally got the right to rest and was able to walk out of the ward, but he did not choose to go into the lounge to take a nap , but just leaning against the door of the lounge, lost in thought.

His mood was too complicated. Even though his body was exhausted to the extreme, his chaotic thoughts made it difficult for him to calm down. His long-standing devout beliefs finally couldn't cover up his emotional contradictions.

Zechariah thought that he was probably going crazy.

"Sakka, don't you go to rest?"

Some dull female voices sounded at the end of the corridor. The "prince's fiancée" in a long blue dress strode forward. She stood beside Zacharias and said with concern: "You have been using God's grace for the past few days. It is very exhausting to the body, go to rest first."

Zacharias put down the arm supporting his head, he stared blankly at the puppet beauty beside him, and saw its owner through this artificial body.

Never for a moment, Zacharias felt that this puppet beauty was so beautiful, maybe it was because of the sudden agile eyes, or the upright and firm posture, the independent soul gave it a new life, so the dummy suddenly Then there is Shen Yun.

If there is such a girl in this world, many people should fall in love with her, right?

The Lord made a man and a woman combine, so that all things can live and multiply. This is the axiom of the world, and all creatures should obey it; immoral love is wrong, and profane desires are corrupt, and they will pollute a person’s soul, which is The incarnation of the devil, once tempted, no matter how perfect a good person is, he will go to degeneration and destruction.

If Your Highness is a woman...

This absurd idea popped up suddenly, and Zacharias thought that this idea was bad enough, but he was still horrified to find that he couldn't imagine such a world at all.

Without assumptions, His Highness is His Highness, he will not be anything else, and what he... is exactly such His Highness.

"Why don't you talk, are you overtired?" Miao Xuan looked at Zacharias worriedly through the puppet, "Zakia, are you okay, do you need me to carry you to the bed?"

Zechariah's breathing paused for a moment, and he opened his mouth. He thought he would say some arrogant and absurd words, but what he really blurted out was an apology: "I'm sorry, Your Highness."

...Sorry for what?To stop His Highness's "fiancée" plan before today?Or did he not discover His Highness's vague orientation and conniving attitude earlier?Or, it came from the indescribable evil thoughts deep in his heart.

Miao Xuan subconsciously thought that this apology meant that the queen could not be cured. After all, Zacharias had always been such a person. He would always remember all the tragedies he could not save due to various reasons. Take all the responsibility on yourself.

This is an extremely bad character, especially when the owner is trying to hide his mental state.

Miao Xuan couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.

Even the queen's life, old age, sickness and death were remembered so firmly by Sakya, what if it was time for him to leave?

Miao Xuan is very clear that the two friends he made in this world have their own psychological problems. If Ian can never get out of the shadow brought by the eagle, then Zacharias is insisting on using the saint's Standards are self-demanding.

For the former, even though the eagle has been "dead" for many years, he still misses it so much that he hates all the villains; while the latter is more dangerous, Zacharias gathers all negative emotions in his heart, Even though his behavior is comparable to that of a morally perfect person, he still feels that it is far from enough.

And what's more terrible is that what Zechariah worships is still the kind of "saint" in the religious system of this world.

Miao Xuan thinks, thanks to the development of steam technology that has had enough impact on social concepts, the church stopped advocating the concept of "self-flagellation" and "dedication by cutting flesh" as early as 20 years ago.

"Sakya, don't say that." Miao Xuan also imitated him and leaned against the wall. Although the big skirt was in the way, Miao Xuan was experienced in women's clothing, and he held it in his hand as soon as he lifted the skirt, "Everything is in order." You cannot violate the law of birth and death. No one is immortal. Your power has saved countless lives. Please don’t take the inevitable parting as your responsibility. If there is a god in this world... Cough, I mean , everything is a gift from the Lord.”

Miao Xuan almost strayed, and hurried back, but Zechariah didn't seem to listen to him seriously, and looked distracted.

After Miao Xuan finished his consolation, neither of them spoke, but this short silence made Zacharias relax a bit. He tried to get rid of bad thoughts, but in the end he advised: "...Your Highness, that Ayi The governor of Deno is very dangerous, please be careful."

So that's what happened... Drake is indeed not a good person, and it's normal to be guarded.

"He won't affect me." Miao Xuan replied firmly. After thinking for a while, he still said tentatively, "Sakya, I want to leave here." 7K 妏敩

"You mean, go back to Ceylon?" Zechariah was startled, and then he understood, and a little joy rose in his heart, "Then I will follow you to Ceylon, and I can continue to stay in Ceylon. Practicing in the church..."

Zechariah's imagination ended here. He knew that His Highness would stay in the capital because of His Majesty. Once His Majesty passed away, who would be more suitable than Ceylon to be His Highness's home?

"No, I don't mean going back to Ceylon." Miao Xuan felt a burst of sadness in his heart, and it was time to say goodbye again, and no matter what he did, it seemed that it would leave hurt. He had experienced too many worlds, and he was very concerned about parting. The understanding of death is completely different from that of people in the small world.

A thought flashed across - am I, shouldn't I establish too intimate a connection in the small world?

Miao Xuan bit the bullet and said, "I want...I want to go to sea to see."

Zechariah was really frightened this time. He turned around in astonishment: "Your Highness?! What are you talking about!"

Miao Xuan said dryly: "This world is so big, I just want to look around, I can't just stay on the land of Niaterbo, can I? I still—"

"Are you with the governor of Aydeno?" Zacharias asked without even thinking about it. Tiredness made his mind no longer as rational as usual, and the sudden news made it difficult for him to suppress his agitated mood. , so this question, which would never appear in normal times, became uncontrollable—"Your Highness, do you know what kind of emotion he treats you with?"

This time it was Miao Xuan's turn to be terrified. He had finished thinking about the ball, and I still scared the local religious people, but there is no way to explain this problem!

Miao Xuan himself has absolute flaws in love and desire, coupled with his childhood experience, he can't understand the difference between different sexual orientations at all, he can't even figure out the difference between a lover and a friend, and he still tosses these things ?

But the matter has come to this point, since the parting is already doomed, it is better to give an emotional foreshadowing, Miao Xuanxin confessed: "I know, I have always understood-although I can't understand feelings, but I think, I He is destined not to fall in love with any woman."

For a moment, Zechariah thought he had heard it wrong, and he was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to react.

"How could this be..." He muttered uncontrollably, "How could this be... Lord..."

Seeing that the excitement was too much, Miao Xuan quickly added: "Sakya, I don't mean to be disrespectful to the Lord. I have never had 'sensual lust' or 'love' in all these years, and I will never be with anyone in my life. people--"

"It's not just the governor of Aydeno, but also Percival." Zechariah interrupted Miao Xuan's blanching, he couldn't control his mentality completely, and almost collapsed, "Your Highness, yes He has seduced you! Has he given you such depraved thoughts?"

This time it was Miao Xuan's turn to be dumbfounded, he stammered: "You, who are you talking about?"

Of course, Miao Xuan can reject all love based on admiration, but the premise is a relatively clear, objectively understandable declaration or confession, such as Drake—although the motives of this guy are still doubtful, but he is in Miao Xuan's heart. position is different.

As for those who have love but don't want to show it, Miao Xuan has nothing to do.

"That's right..." Zecharia gasped heavily, "His disguise is so poor, the truth will be exposed sooner or later, I just beg you not to be influenced by him—the union between a man and the same sex is extremely sinful!"

Zacharias was heartbroken, and Miao Xuan was also shocked, but the latter was not shocked by religion, but was shocked by my good brother who wanted to be my good brother ♂♂♂.

At this point, it was impossible to continue the conversation for the day, and Zacharias hurriedly said goodbye and left, leaving only Miao Xuan who could not return to God.

*

The little system squatted in his brother Miao's mental sea, while looking at the entertainment savings over the years, while eating the simulated melon seed popcorn, sighing, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

In the mini-map, the little dot representing Drake no longer stays peacefully in a room, but starts to try, as if wanting to enter the master bedroom.

The little system was shocked, and hurriedly called the police to his brother: [Brother, the sea monster moved, he was coming, he pushed open the door——]

Miao Xuan was also busy here. After bidding farewell to Zechariah, he urgently collected his mood and quickly left the palace, letting the puppet go straight to a certain prince's mansion—right now the eagle had to stay in the palace. It's a great opportunity to steal a home,

Just as Miao Xuan climbed over the wall, he made sure that he didn't disturb anyone who might be the eyeliner. Hearing this, he almost fell into the bushes.

【He came in! ] The small system complained loudly, 【He sat on the edge of the bed——brother, this guy is still looking at you! 】

Miao Xuan: ...

In fact, Miao Xuan discovered this problem early on. Drake seems to have no sense of distance when he is in front of him. He likes physical contact very much, but this is not because he has any evil intentions, but because he is very used to it. In doing so, it is like a nurse caring for a sick person for years.

Miao Xuan: Does he have any other actions?

Small system: [No, it's gone, he just sat... Brother, you look so peaceful now. 】

Miao Xuan: ...

Miao Xuan wiped his face, and said to the little system: Wait for him to tell me anything different.

To be honest, he wasn't too worried. After all, his main consciousness and puppet could return to the main body in an instant, and members of the carrier pigeon and nightingale were also guarding outside the room.

And compared to Drake who just looked at and didn't do anything, what he had to do right now was the most important thing.

Miao Xuan quietly sneaked into the mansion, and after generously disguised as a maid, he arrived at the room at the deepest floor. Everything here is the same, although it is luxurious but also vulgar, like all Nobles would be accustomed to the decoration, except for a mechanical parrot hanging outside the door.

Miao Xuan pushed the dining car into the room, and the parrot tilted its head to look at him. The eyeballs made of glass beads exuded inorganic light, like a delicate work of art, without any unusual movements.

The door closed behind Miao Xuan, and the dark room revealed its true appearance. This is a very scary room. From the cabinets to the walls, countless bird specimens are hung in mid-air, and their bodies are covered with metal parts. , The beak made of gold and iron is as sharp as a blade.

All in all, it is very in line with the underworld aesthetics of Junying's character.

The poor little sister and brother were squeezed together on a heavy antique-like bed, and the heavy curtains were drawn tightly, which can be regarded as isolating the prying eyes of birds.

Miao Xuan sighed, lifted the curtain beside the bed, and whispered to the children huddled under the quilt under the cover of the curtain: "I know, your father is a fake."

*

In the palace, the queen's bedroom.

The eagle was waiting quietly outside the Queen's ward. On his left were priests and nuns who were dressed in full cloaks and looked good at first glance, bowing their heads and chanting. On his right were dignitaries with elegant demeanor and sad faces Each handkerchief wipes tears.

This group of bumbling guys acted piously and stupidly, as if what they were facing was not the queen who was about to die, but the sky that was about to collapse...

What is there to be sad about?Isn't it a blessing for the whole empire that the old and incompetent monarch dies, and the new and able-bodied king ascends the throne?

But Junying still has enough patience, he is willing to mobilize people to give this old woman a ride, although he looks down on her quite a bit, but how can I put it...

Queen Anna at least proved that the women in this family are not useless, at least they can have love when they are mothers.

This cruel family is not all greedy griffins, but also fragrant roses.

Junying made a sad appearance, and recited the "Holy Mary Rosary" with the religious group around him, but even though he could recite almost all well-known religious classics on his lips, he always had extremely despicable thoughts in his heart.

I don't know how sad the little prince will be when the old queen dies of illness?

Seeing the last blood relative leave, his heart must be very painful, how will he react?maybe cry...

Thinking of the little prince being hurt by his own tenderness—the light blue eyes will be covered with mist, and the pale face will also be stained with tears. The solemnity and calmness will be completely broken by sadness!

Junying immediately became excited, and couldn't help but look forward to the queen's death.

At this moment, the head maid hurried out from the inner room. The bishop and the nuns just finished reading a passage, and they all looked up. Before the archbishop could ask, the head maid turned to Junying: "Your Majesty is in good spirits now, she I want to see Princess Ertuza and Master Duke Ertuza."

This is not a flattering will, but Junying still agreed with the most sincere attitude, he hastily asked the attendants around him to rush back to the mansion, and made his posture perfect.

His birds and beasts didn't give him any feedback that something was wrong, everything remained the same, no matter the nightingales in the garden or the parrots in the mansion.

There shouldn't be any problems...

It seems that the poor queen wanted to see the children before she died, after all, she couldn't support any of them.

Junying thinks that his guess is not wrong, because the little prince rushed to him immediately, and he looked very tired after waiting for several days. I saw a man dressed as a guard.

The puppet pushing the wheelchair disappeared, and the little prince chose a living person to replace it.

Ordinary people may not be able to recognize this rough-looking bodyguard, but the eagle will not be mistaken—the sea monster Derek, the guy who blatantly planned the assassination, is now standing majestically behind the little prince, so close The distance can almost be called the trust of delivering life!

Junying didn't hide his gaze, and Drake didn't avoid it, he looked straight at Junying, his dark and dull eyes narrowed slightly, which made Drake look like a bird declaring sovereignty beast.

At this moment, not only the veins on the back of Junying's hands popped up, but Ian Parcival, who was sitting not far from him, also changed color.

Obviously, Prince Ceylon was completely unaware of this undercurrent. He rushed to his aunt's side, so as the door closed, Prince Ceylon's back disappeared inside the door. Almost everyone guessed that the Queen was critically ill, so they all A secret uneasiness flowed through everyone's emotions.

Will Drake tell the truth to Prince Ceylon?Although Junying is very happy to be found out by his little prince, if this most exciting scene is directed by a "sea monster"... just thinking about it, Junying's killing intent rises immediately, he can't see Going to Drake, but knowing in the bottom of my heart that they are actually the same kind. After all, gangsters and robbers can always recognize each other easily, let alone people with the same hobby?

Not only do they have a life-and-death old enmity, but now they are eyeing the same rare treasure.

Junying stared at the closed door, only looking at the appearance of the little prince, he should still know nothing, only thinking about his aunt.

Haven't confessed yet?Or does the little prince not believe it?

No matter what it is, just the coveting and approaching of this sea monster is enough for Jun Ying to bear it.

*

Birth, old age, sickness and death are commonplace in the world, no one is immune, even Miao Xuan must die one day, let alone ordinary people in the small world?

The queen's eyes were a little swollen, she was so angry that her blue eyes gradually became cloudy, the head maid knelt by the bed and wept silently, and the helpless doctors began to pray one after another.

Miao Xuan held the queen's hand, which was shriveled and thin. The disease had already emptied the queen's body, which made her extremely tormented during the last journey of her life.

This was not Miao Xuan's first farewell. A maid was singing hymns in a low voice, and the soothing and beautiful tune made the queen gradually relax. She let out a long breath: "Mona?"

Miao Xuan: "I'm here."

The queen seemed to want to show a smile, but the slack and sunken muscles could barely move the corners of her mouth. She seemed to want to say something again, but even in a room where needles could be heard, the voice was too low to be heard clearly.

Miao Xuan came to her side: "Auntie, I'm here."

The queen fell silent, as if she was gathering her last strength. After a while, she turned her head slightly and said in Miao Xuan's ear, "My child..."

"Leave...leave here, go to the place where you can be free."

Shocked and sad, Miao Xuan stared blankly at his aunt, and the haggard old woman gave him an almost imperceptible smile back. Aging and death cast a haze over her eyes, but even In this way, the pure blessing still flows out through the windows of the soul bestowed by the two gods.

A mother can always see through the secrets in her child's heart, whether it is deception with good intentions or the desire hidden in nature. Her child is a natural bird, whether he has wings or not.

*

The news of the queen's death came from the inner room, so the nuns and the ladies seemed to have made an agreement, weeping in unison with different emphasis, and the men also expressed their condolences in various ways, such as beating their chests and feet, or loudly Carol, but no matter how sad this group may appear, they are always graceful and decent.

The head maid who reported the death was the queen's most important maid. She stood in front of the door of the room and looked at the group of people in a daze. The queen's death seemed to have taken away her last bit of judgment. She could no longer tell who they were. It was real sadness, and who was fake crying? After the last breath of relaxation, days of grief made her dizzy, and the guards of the carrier pigeons who were waiting by the side hurriedly helped her away.

It's ridiculous that the head maid's poor health turned out to be a good example, because right after that, the ladies also began to "be too sad" and "fall to the ground and faint" one after another.

Ian couldn't bear this suffocating scene, he left the hall silently, which was very rude, but at this moment he couldn't care less about it.

After the news of the death was announced, the Pope took the priests and nuns to pick up the bones of Her Majesty the Queen, and the remaining dignitaries surrounded the unenthroned Prince Ertuza, and everyone was keenly aware of the situation. Change, the gentle era of the previous queen will never return, and the next new king is not someone who is willing to back down.

Will centralized kingship return to the country?

Nobody knows.

The death of the queen means the end of an era, and a new dynasty will soon come to the land of Niaterbo. For Percival, the queen is not only a loving elder, but also a respectable monarch. What she did was a perfect fit for Nia Telbo in this day and age, and he respected her and was grateful to her.

Since he was a child, Ian knew that the queen didn't like him very much, but it was his own fault, and after his mother passed away, the queen began to take care of him and his sister, and this care lasted for several years.

Ian thought, even his mood is so complicated, so what about his Highness?How is he feeling now?

He was going to his Highness - Ian had decided almost immediately.

According to religious customs, the bones of the deceased will be sent to the sanctuary to rest and be buried grandly after baptism, and the more honorable the person, the more they can enjoy a long farewell baptism. As the monarch of the empire, the queen's baptism will last for seven days .

Before the real funeral, these seven days are reserved for blood relatives and the deceased to bid farewell, but now the royal family has only one bloodline left, so one can imagine the pain these seven days will bring to him.

Before leaving in a hurry, Ian glanced contemptuously at the crown prince surrounded by the crowd. The man's sadness made him feel hypocritical and ridiculous.

For a moment, Ian regretted it very much. If he persuaded His Highness a few more times, would he agree to his proposal? The heir to the throne only needs to be sound in heart, and only His Highness is truly qualified to sit on the throne.

But right now this assumption is meaningless. Ian rushed to the royal sanctuary anxiously, but before he entered the main hall, he was blocked outside the tightly closed gate. A beast that shouldn't be here stood quietly in the hall. The door looks like the three-headed dog guarding the gate of Hades in mythology.

Ian recognized him at a glance, this is the governor of Aydno, that despicable villain who did not know what kind of tricks he used to stay with His Highness, but even if he is such an obscene thing, he is still in the duel lost to him.

But why does His Highness trust him so much?He shouldn't be here!

Blazing hatred and secret jealousy surged together, but before Ian could react, Drake was the first to stop him, and he was quite calm compared to the emotionally accumulated Parcival.

Drake didn't talk nonsense, he pointed to the point: "Do you want to know why His Highness left me?"

Ian's footsteps stopped, and after a brief silence, he retorted unceremoniously: "I won't believe in any deception with rhetoric, I warn you, even if you—"

"'Horse Eagle'." Drake successfully interrupted Ian's scolding with one word, he seemed to be able to read people's hearts, and said coldly, "'Horse Eagle' is not dead, and His Highness has been chasing this matter Because I am the old enemy of 'Junying', so His Highness values ​​me."

Ian stopped talking, disbelieving and self-reproaching and furious. Even though he didn't do anything out of control, judging from the changes in the surrounding temperature, his current mood was no less than a volcanic eruption.

"You're lying to me." Ian's face darkened, "I won't allow you—"

"Junying sneaked into the capital with a disguise, and His Highness has already seen through his disguise." Drake still looked indifferent, but his contempt could be conveyed without words and expressions, "You claim to be His Highness's protector?" Those who are so weak are so weak that they can neither defeat me nor perceive the danger, and even have to worry about His Highness trying to protect you—"

Just like a sinister undercurrent always hidden under the quiet and deep water, Drake also hid his malice well under his calm tone: "You don't know it yet, our future Crown Prince of Niatalbe, the real king of the royal family His distant relative, Prince Ertuza, had been killed long ago, and the person who used dirty means to replace him was the illegitimate son of Queen Elizabeth III of the previous generation. He was a hybrid of Griffin and Fanma, a crown prince who coveted the throne and had already succeeded— —”
