Legend of Eudemons

Derony and Chris each went to meet and greet each other, and Kena took a breath and was quiet for a while.Shiratori found a table in a corner far away from the lively crowd and sat on it, playing with the wine glass, and said in a troubled tone of posturing:

"What shall we do, little prince?"

Although he knew that he wanted Kaina to talk to him on purpose, Kaina still cooperated: "What's the matter."

"After seeing your suspicious relatives, I can't help feeling that everyone is suspicious."

"Aren't you inconsistent when you said 'suspicious' twice. But forget it. What do you mean?"

"Tomb robber." Shiratori said briskly, as if it wasn't a big deal. "The uncle who is overly attentive, the cousin who seems to be sick and overprotected and has a high position, and the aunt who hates your father, it seems that each of them has a reason to want a weapon."

Kayna blinked and waited for what he would say next, but then he stopped, so he had to speak for himself.In fact, he didn't really want to express his opinion on this matter.

"...I don't agree or disagree," he said. "There is no evidence. It's not good to doubt casually. But there is no way to rule out the possibility."

"Brooklyn and Bellacris both experienced the Great Patriotic War, and they both heard more or less about the weapon at that time. And Chris...his father is very clear about this, and so is the Eudemons around him. , so it cannot be ruled out."

"Speaking of which, I haven't heard much from you about that weapon. Is it really such a powerful weapon?"

Shiratori nodded slightly, lowering his voice.

"It was created during the Great Patriotic War, but it was more dangerous than expected. At the beginning, everyone cheered because of the creation of a powerful weapon, and it was not long before they discovered that it was dangerous to both the enemy and themselves. After the Great Patriotic War, your father wanted to destroy it to avoid future troubles, but the thing was built unexpectedly strong, and there was no way to destroy it. In the end, he had to find a way to hide it, so that no one could see it. people found."

"Speaking of which, Shiratori, do you know the real whereabouts of that thing?" Keina said, "You seem to have made it unclear when you were in the Ascension Hall, but is that a lie to the tomb robbers or the truth?"

"It's the truth." Shiratori replied without hesitation. "The only thing that matters to me is Lian Ji. Who cares about those insignificant things."

"You actually said that dangerous weapons don't matter." It seems that he really likes Lian Ji very much.

But Kaina didn't know that Shiratori had lied.

That thing was indeed in Lian Ji's cemetery, and Shiratori knew it too.After all, he is a man in his sixties who has gone through vicissitudes, and he doesn't hesitate to tell a lie. Although Kaina himself is also very good at pretending to be stupid, he is much less experienced than Shiratori, and he was deceived by him.This matter is so important that even Kaina Shiratori will not let him know casually.

"Hey, if you find the messenger, what are you going to do? Report to the father?"

"...Mmm. I have to report it." Shiratori picked up the food on the table and ate it all. "But maybe after I'm done."

"...Are you going to kill the other party?" Kaina asked angrily.

"Well, it depends on the situation." Shiratori said lightly, sucking his finger.

...Kenna felt so uneasy.

"Sister, do you know?"

Rococo walked and chatted with Juliette during the interval before the ceremony started.

"Little White Bird... No, it's General Baiyin," she pursed her amused expression, "I used to serve Queen Lian Ji."

Juliette calmly replied, "Really?"

"Aren't you curious? That's my mother." Rococo said, "I saw Aunt Bellacris just now. I chatted with her."

"It's amazing that you can talk to Aunt Bellacris." Juliette teased her.

Rococo continued to speak on his own route as if he was not interrupted: "I think Aunt Bellacris might also know about General Baiyin, so I will ask her about it. It is said that General Baiyin is following Queen Lianji She came here as a dowry. The warrior who escorted her from Shangyang to our country. Since then, he has been working for the royal family of our country. Until the death of Queen Lian Ji, he disappeared."

"Didn't you say you're going back to your hometown?"

"Hmm." Rococo nodded: "So, a mystery has been solved. General Baiyin went to the war because of Queen Lian Ji, right? Queen Lian Ji told him to 'go', so he went Right. Or if our country suffers, Queen Lian Ji will also be injured, in order to protect the princess of her own country, isn’t it?” Rococo tilted his head while thinking and said, “When Queen Lian Ji dies, he disappears. It can be seen He only stayed in our country for Queen Lian Ji?"

Juliette didn't answer, just watched her talk.

"But now he's become Little Kaina's Phantom Beast Assistant Officer, don't you think it's strange? If you want to choose one of us to be the master, no matter what you think, it's Princess Juliette!"

Juliette was noncommittal, looking at her with mysterious and profound eyes.

"Sister, don't you have any ideas? That's the phantom beast that once served Queen Lian Ji. Since he has the name of General Baiyin, he must be very powerful. Wouldn't it be great if he could become your phantom beast?"

"That was his own will?" said Juliette. "My mother didn't leave this kind of will, saying that I can inherit her phantom beast. It has been 15 years since she passed away, and Shiratori is free after her death. He can choose who will be his master."

After hearing this, Luo Keke remained silent, and said after a while, "Sister, you are so generous."

"It's not something that I have to get? I shouldn't have that kind of expectation." She paused, "Maybe it's some kind of quality in Kena, let him like it. And I think Eudemons It’s not that the stronger the better, it’s that it suits your own personality. After all, we need to be together for a long time, if the other party is not willing, it will be a kind of torture for both parties.”

"Well, that's true. My sister is really amazing. I admire you so much." She thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Why does it sound a bit like talking about love?"

The investiture ceremony was still presided over by Kotlaka.She was not satisfied with any of the three Eudemons to be appointed this time, but she was the one to appoint as a rule, and she didn't refuse even though she had a long face.Naturally, it is not necessary for the king to appear in person for this kind of thing, and it is certainly not proper for the princesses to preside over it.So they just watched from the audience.Corban III wore a shining crown to cover up the baldness in the middle of his head, and King XIV of Seattle stood like a door god.The princesses, princes and daughters, princes, princes, etc. are all familiar faces that I have just seen.Shiratori now looked at them all as suspicious, and his face became serious without knowing it.

Kotraka routinely recited some oaths and rules such as allegiance to the royal family.Then they were given badges representing official assistant officers, round badges of about an inch, made of silver, with patterns of gems on them, and the colors of gems inlaid on each were different, so as to distinguish the different masters they served.The next step is to hand them some documents, anyway, they are all routine things.The process was fast and smooth, beyond expectations.

"Then what? The ceremony is over?" Shiratori jumped off the stage, moved closer to Kaina, and fiddled with the badge: "Don't you think the size of this badge is too easy to lose?"

"It's really easy to lose, so put it away!" Keina hurriedly stopped him from throwing the badge for fun.

"——Too naive, little white bird, how could it be the end, this is just the beginning!"

Dai Luoni walked over with Hui Yue.When Huiyue was on the stage just now, she tried her best to look refreshed, but now she has become listless again, but Dai Luoni is full of energy: "It's better to say that the main event will be next!"

"According to the usual practice, it's time to receive presents." Keina nodded his lips.

"You don't look very excited. I'm very happy, and I can finally get back all the favors I sent out. Hmm."

Kanna looked at Delloni's proud look, and explained to Shiratori in a low voice: "Princes and princesses are equivalent to 'being alone' from the moment they have Eudemons assistant officers. It is comparable to a coming-of-age ceremony, so relatives usually give gifts. Dai Loni has sent two copies to Juliette and Rococo before, and they have never paid back."

"You don't care."

"You don't need to give it if you are under 15 years old. So I didn't spend a penny. Compared with receiving gifts..." He seemed to hesitate to say this, but finally said it: "Compared to that, I prefer The happy thing is that you became my assistant officer."

Shiratori looked at him with a slight frown, and finally said: "...you are really good at talking sweetly."

"Kenna is too cunning, say this first, if I say it to Huiyue again, will it appear that I have plagiarized?"

"...It's okay. You don't need to say it." Huiyue said weakly.

Everything is carried out in a harmonious atmosphere.But it's a bit strange to say that. It's not surprising that everything is going smoothly. It's not normal to feel suspicious because everything is going well.Shiratori still stared at everything around him with a serious face. When the princes and nobles handed over their gifts to Kena, their big white eyes were also staring at it for a moment, even staring at something that made some people shudder. degree.

"This is really strange. When I was young, I could still see phantom beasts like Shiratori. But not long after, there were no more."

An old man with a wrinkled face but an extraordinary appearance gave Kaina a gift, squinted his eyes at Shiratori, and then smiled.Keena always found his smile uncomfortable.This man was the great nobleman Sir Vanderveen, and Keina didn't know him very well, so he just smiled.

"His Royal Highness Keinard can actually get such a phantom beast, it is truly an adventure."

...is indeed an adventure.Who would have thought that one day it would fall into the cemetery under the palace, where there was such a guy guarding the tomb.

It is reasonable to say that the gift should be opened on the spot, but on the one hand, there are too many things received in one breath, and there is no way to express appreciation one by one (even if it is pretended), on the other hand, if it is opened on the spot, the princes will not be able to express their appreciation. It is inevitable that there will be comparisons, whoever received the most expensive gift or who received the most satisfactory one. In order to prevent this kind of disharmony, Corban III once explicitly forbade them to open the gift on the spot.So it was already evening by the time Kayna opened the presents.

"Actually, Corban III is not a bad king." Shiratori was playing with a small gift box, and no matter what was inside, the gift boxes themselves were all so amazing that they could be called works of art. "Most of his ideas are reasonable. ... But I still don't like him. I hope that he will suffer from serious illness at the end of his life, and die after suffering for more than ten years."

What he said was very vicious but not very serious.Although Shiratori has been emphasizing, but in terms of performance, apart from a bad attitude, he does not mean any harm to Corban III.

"Although I knew you didn't like him,... But don't say such things in front of his own son. If the other party wasn't me, he would have been furious."

"Well, this is what I like about you." Shiratori said casually, still playing with the box.Kanamen knew that he meant nothing else, so his ears were still slightly red.She buried her head in unwrapping presents, hiding her shyness.

"It's really because of Lian Ji that I hate my father... right?" Kaina said casually, as if speaking in this tone would make the topic easier.In fact, he wasn't sure if Shiratori would mind.

"I hate him in every sense. Actions, thinking patterns, existence itself. But if I think about it again, if it weren't for Lian Ji, I wouldn't have known him at all, so I wouldn't even hate him. So it's like this The conclusion is fine."

A question lingered, scratching his heart itchingly, hesitating whether to speak it out, but in the end he couldn't hold it back, and finally Kaina said: "Do you sometimes wonder if Lian Ji didn't marry me? If the king father said, he wouldn't have died so young?"
