Delusion Master

Two red-breasted birds protruded from the branches and leaves of the holly tree, flew lightly over the vine arch of the palace garden, and landed on the open window sill of the lakeside palace.The wind blew the white gauze curtains swaying, covering the small smoky gray figures of the birds.

This is a gorgeously decorated bedroom. There are two people standing and leaning on each other. The atmosphere is tense, as if striking a match can ignite the air.

"...you can't do this!" said the standing youth.He has blond hair as bright as the early morning sun, his eyes are like the blue lake outside the window, and the boredom and anger on his face can't be suppressed, leaking from the vertical lines between his brows, making the originally handsome appearance look dark and paranoid "I am your only son, the next king of the mixed spirit kingdom."

"But you haven't been approved by Thunder Shield. Besides, I am indeed more than your son." Said the old man leaning on the head of the bed with a cushion on his back.He looks to be in his 70s or [-]s, and his actual age is only in his early fifties. His once bright hair has faded to light platinum, and his gray-blue eyes are cloudy and tired, but his eyes are still burning and powerful, as if the tenacity in his heart is suffering. Supporting the prematurely aging body, he refused to be defeated in the struggle against fate.

Facing the coercion of his father and the monarch, the young man refused to give in, and raised his voice: "I think that from the day you exiled him, you and he no longer regard each other as father and son. There is no such thing as him in the Lei Ting family." Name, the subjects will not accept an unknown knight as a contender for the crown prince!"

The old man sat up straight, beat the edge of the bed with clenched fists, and roared: "He is not unknown! He is the son of the late former queen. I hope you can not only respect your half-brother, but also respect the deceased Her Royal Highness, Shijiali!"

After panting violently, the old man leaned back against the head of the bed again, as if the attack had consumed most of his energy and now he needed to accumulate it again.

The young man couldn't help but sneered: "Aren't you the one who thought that he killed Queen Shijiali and removed him from the royal family?"

As if an arrow had been shot in his heart, the old man raised his head and gasped for breath. After a long while, he said helplessly: "As a descendant of Austin, his blessings protect our family and territory. Obtain the approval of the will of the Holy Spirit and become the owner of the Thunder Shield. But you... have never been able to win Austin's favor."

The young man's face was gloomy: "Not all traditions must be followed. I can be a good king, not because I have a shield that can shine. By the way, I heard that you sent him to investigate the castle in Jihua County. The Abbey of Death? Shall I extend my sympathy and condolences to him, because his king has pushed him hard to the edge of the most dangerous abyss?"

"Uther!" the old man shouted in a hoarse voice, "You are too presumptuous!"

Uther took a deep breath, softened his emotions after a while, and gave a chest salute: "I apologize to you, Wrynn, my respected father and lord."

King Wrynn said gloomyly: "I don't see the element of 'respect' from your words and deeds."

"This is your misunderstanding of me, my father, you know what kind of person I have been since I was a child. There may be disputes between us, but there has never been any resentment." Uther said.

Wrynn sighed: "Then, let me see your sincerity. Call him back and let him accept the Thunder Shield inheritance test."

"And then? If the shield chooses him, then he will replace everything about me?" Uther's face and tone were cold to the bottom, "Have you decided to deprive me of my inheritance?"

Wrynn shook his head helplessly: "You are too aggressive, Uther, even if Thunder Shield chose him, I did not say that the owner of the shield will become the next king. The original intention of Austin to leave the shield is to protect Human territory has never demanded the identity of the inheritor."

Uther pondered the meaning of his words, his face gradually softened.

Tsk!The red-breasted bird on the left on the window sill—to be precise, it was Wei Lin who had been transfigured—thought to himself, and the key point was just one sentence: try the shield, you If you can use it, you should take up the important task of defending the country. As for the king's throne, you still have to let your brother sit on it. Anyway, the ancestors didn't stipulate that "the one who gets the shield wins the world", didn't they?

You unlucky eldest son!

He hehe in his heart, turned his head and glanced at another red-breasted bird beside him, and found that its claws were clasping the window frame stiffly, the fluff on its head and neck was slightly blown up, and its tail was stretched straight back, like a bird. The appearance of being paralyzed and absent-minded.

...Bai Yuan?Wei Lin doubtfully pecked at the other party with his tiny beak.

Bai Yuan came back to his senses and rubbed his beak against him, from the orange-red feathers on his chest to his white and fluffy belly.

He spread his wings and flew up, and Wei Lin also flew over the lake, crossed the corridor, and entered an empty bedroom.The red-breasted bird landed on the carpet, and both of them changed back to human form.

"Are you okay?" Wei Lin asked with concern, "Did you find anything?"

Bai Yuan shook his head expressionlessly, pulled his partner into his arms, and hugged him vigorously.

Wei Lin felt the other party's tense muscles and rapid heartbeat, obviously not as indifferent as he appeared on the surface, he couldn't help reaching out to stroke his back, comforting: "No matter what, you can tell me, you know There is a connection between us, and there is no need to hide anything.”

Bai Yuan was silent for a moment, then whispered in his ear: "I remembered some bad people and things in the past."

"Has it passed?" Wei Lin asked.

Bai Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes. Now that I have you, I can discard all those things."

"Whoever said that the past must be let go, and you can't care about it? You still think about it now, which means that you still have regrets or resentments in your heart, then you should have revenge for injustice, and revenge for revenge. How can you come here?" Wei Wei Lin Jin patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "Go as soon as the copy is out, I support you!"

Bai Yuan chuckled, pressed the back of his partner's head and gave him a deep and long kiss.After parting with breathlessness, he said: "I was wondering whether the scene I saw just now was a coincidence, or... no, it's impossible, Wang Yulun doesn't know me in reality. It's impossible for him to know about my past , and then projected in the spiritual world."

The topic was bypassed, but Wei Lin thoughtfully stopped delving into it, and followed his train of thought: "Maybe it's just a coincidence."

Bai Yuan frowned, and decided to keep this matter in his heart first, and wait and see what happened. "We're going to see Wrynn now. I reckon, he didn't even know that I begged, and the news was stopped by Uther who took the initiative."

Wei Lin agreed: "Straightforward, I like it."

The two left the room and walked along the lakeshore through the corridor to the king's bedroom.Many of the palace guards met along the way seemed to know Bai Yuan and bowed to him.

"Did you often go to and from the palace?" Wei Lin asked.

Bai Yuan explained: "As one of the Templars, I once taught the martial arts of the palace guards."

The two came to Wrynn's bedroom almost without hindrance, and said to the guard at the door: "Please inform His Majesty the King that Bai Yuan, the head of the Light Crown Elite Cavalry, has come to report back."

Uther came out at this moment, met Bai Yuan head-on, and froze on the spot.

He looked a little astonished, a little annoyed, and a little embarrassed. He twitched the muscles of his cheeks slightly and said, "You're back."

Bai Yuan replied calmly: "Good day, Your Royal Highness. I will report to Your Majesty."

Uther opened his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say for a while, finally accepted and synchronized with the other party's attitude, and said nonchalantly: "I'm glad to see that you are safe and sound. I heard that the Jihua County you went to was not peaceful. Is everything going well?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty and you, everything is fine." Bai Yuan replied with impeccable etiquette and alienation.

Uther also had nothing to say, nodded and said: "Go in. But you are the only one, and the followers are waiting outside."

Bai Yuan said: "He wants to go in with me and meet His Majesty."

Uther's face darkened: "You have exceeded the rules, Your Excellency, Captain."

Bai Yuan took Wei Lin's hand and said without hesitation: "I forgot to introduce to you earlier, this is my partner, best friend, and lover who decided to stay together for life. Besides, he is still an insider, so I He must be brought in."

Uther froze completely.He stared at the tightly held hands of the two men in front of him, a look of sluggishness flashed across his face, and he blinked hard several times before he managed to recover his language ability: "You...you found a man to be..."

Bai Yuan said lightly: "That's right. Do you have any opinions, do you think we should be set on the fire?"

Uther showed a weird look, as if he was being shocked, but also breathed a sigh of relief, he subconsciously took half a step back and said, "No, I bless you all. True love knows no race, age or gender."

Bai Yuan smiled: "I believe these words come from your heart."

The king's voice came from a distance in the hall: "Is it Bai Yuan? Come in and see me. Uther, come in too."

So the three of them walked into the hall and came to Wu Ruien's sick bed.Bai Yuan knelt down on one knee, saluted and said: "My king, Bai Yuan has come to return to his command."

Wrynn propped up half of his body, and asked with relief and expectation: "How is it?"

"Fortunately not humiliated."

Wrynn was visibly relieved and sat up.This good news seemed to be a stimulant into his body, causing the almost dry energy to spurt out again.He held out his old, speckled hand and said, "Show me."

Bai Yuan took out a grape-sized, milky white bead from his bosom, and put it in his hand.

Wrynn closed his eyes and put his other hand on it. The golden light shone slightly from the palm of his hand. Then he opened his eyes and said excitedly: "It's her! This is the remains of Song Song Meili! We now have four The legacy of an apostle of the Holy Spirit."

"Four? Besides Meili's skeleton and Austin's shield, what else?" Wei Lin interjected curiously.

Wrynn took a careful look at him, and he didn't show any displeasure of being offended, but thoughtfully: "Young man, I sense an ancient, powerful, indistinguishable aura from you...I Not sure if you are a subject, an ally, or an enemy of the mixed spirit kingdom."

Wei Lin gave a boob salute and said with a smile, "You can treat me as a loyal ally."

Standing behind them, Uther added "properly": "He is Bai Yuan's lover——Bai Yuan told me himself."

Wrynn was stunned, looking at Bai Yuan with extremely complicated eyes.But he quickly covered up all the turbulent emotions in his heart, and perfectly presented the majesty that a king who has been in power for many years should have, and only said: "This has nothing to do with the business we are going to discuss today, Uther. "

The prince immediately replied cheerfully, "I apologize for my frivolous words."

Wu Ruien sat silently for a while, sighed silently, and said to Bai Yuan: "Come closer, my son, come to me."

Wei Lin looked at the blond old king, then turned his head to look at his black-haired, different-eyed, and completely different race partner, and exclaimed in admiration: — huh?
