Legend of Eudemons

"Go up?"

The pure white boy's reaction was as if he heard such a word for the first time.But at once he returned to his absent-minded, teasing voice. "Speaking of which, humans can't go up..."

"what……?"

"There is no convenient prop for making stairs here." He said mockingly. "So, I remembered. The design concept here, from the very beginning, was a cemetery where there was no return, and all intruders could only be buried here for Lian Ji. There is no way to go up here."

"What?!" Keina panicked. "But your Excellency is the gravekeeper, didn't you make an exit for you to go out?"

"I'm the cemetery keeper. Why do I want to go out when I have nothing to do?"

"What..." The little prince sat down in the soft flowers.He has experienced too many shocking things in this short period of time, and it is understandable to say that he has lost all strength. "But if you've lived here for so long, the consumables for daily life..."

"I have been hibernating for 15 years. Eudemons don't need to consume energy as long as they hibernate." He said seriously. "I only wake up when someone breaks in. To be honest, I wake up for the first time in 15 years. If you didn't break in, I don't know how many years I would have slept."

"But you can't stay here forever...you can stay here forever..."

The white boy didn't answer him directly, but blinked his white eyelashes suddenly, "It's a pity, little prince, and I can't help it."

Kaina was sitting there. He already had a very good mental quality, but now looking at this huge cemetery, he still couldn't control his disappointment and fear.He couldn't go up, and he could survive here for a day or two, but after a week or so, there was no food or water, and he was doomed.Compared with being killed by those intruders, it is just an early death and a late death.So the conclusion is that he shouldn't have followed them out of curiosity at all!But regret is the most useless thing in the world, what's the use of saying that now.The pure white boy would go back to sleep again, as if nothing had happened, and then he, Prince Kainashafer, starved to death inside.

"Ah, you don't have to worry that much." The boy's voice sounded again.He pulled up a flower and handed it to the little prince: "This is edible."

"……what?"

The flowers are white and big, with complicated petals. Kena has always wondered why this kind of flower grows so well in a place with no sunlight and no water. At first he thought it was a fake flower.

"So, even if you can't get out, you can still live here. Of course, your princely life may be over, but it's better than dead, right? This is unexpectedly delicious." He said, He grabbed a flower and ate the flower one bite at a time like eating steamed buns. "Pure natural and pollution-free."

This, what is this flower called?Mantou flower?

Kaina was embarrassed, and tentatively peeled off a few petals and put them in his mouth.It has no taste, but it has a plant fragrance, and it is unexpectedly tender and juicy.

For a while, he even ate 'Mantouhua (named by himself)' with the grave guard.Now is not the time to eat 'Mantouhua' at all!But on second thought, there is nothing else to do!

don't want!When he thought that he would have to live a life of gnawing steamed buns and flowers in the vast white sea of ​​steamed buns and flowers in the future, he felt that he would not be able to survive!

"Unless you can fly." The boy said suddenly. "What a pity, if you come in with a flying phantom beast, you can go out from here."

But that kind of phantom beast didn't exist in the first place!

"You probably accidentally touched the mechanism on the ground and fell down? There is only one exit and entrance here, and the zenith is 3 meters thick. It is impossible to destroy the zenith by yourself to make an exit. You must find out The position of the entrance, and then vertically 'fly' up to get out from here. Otherwise, the height of this hall is 20 meters, without any stairs and ropes, it is impossible for humans to have a way to go up. By the way, the surface of the wall here It is made smoother than a mirror, and even the vines of plants can’t climb it, even phantom beasts who are good at climbing can’t climb up walls or pillars.” He finished introducing the situation of the tomb in one breath, sighing road:

"When Corban III built this palace, he already thought of not letting anyone in, and of course he didn't want people to go out. That's why he did it. But you actually came in."

"...Isn't this too strange?" Kena said in a low voice, chewing on the steamed bun flower. "Don't let anyone in, which means he doesn't intend to come in? If the father loves Queen Lianji very much, according to the way of thinking of ordinary people, he should come to express condolences from time to time."

He paused and swallowed the steamed bun flower in his mouth: "But this tomb was made very strange! Even if he did it to prevent others from invading, first, no one knew that there was a tomb in the palace, and second, he had to enter this tomb." Tomb, first you have to go through the guards of the palace, which is already an impenetrable barrier for ordinary thieves. Moreover, this tomb is designed so that even if you know the location, you can’t get in if you don’t find the mechanism, and even if you get in, you can’t get out He put so much thought into putting Queen Lian Ji in such a mausoleum where no one can get in and no one can get out, and he even put a guard as powerful as you in it! If he is really for Queen Lian Ji If he did this, if he loves Queen Lianji so much, it is impossible for him to not even take a look for so many years, right? I always feel that he is just afraid of others coming in..."

"It's like making a treasury to hide some kind of treasure, and then put a guard, but don't tell him that this is the treasure house, but tell him that he is guarding the tomb!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the boy inquiringly.

After the pure white boy heard him finish speaking, a wave seemed to flash in his silvery white pupils, but then he just casually stuffed the remaining steamed buns into his mouth: "You are indeed a little clever. But think too much about it." There are too many~ Sometimes I just think too much. Also, the most important thing you got wrong is that it is my own request to come here to guard the tomb, not the will of Corban III. The order of Corban III is in It doesn't even look like fart to me."

He was insulting Kaina's father again.He spoke as if he and Corbin III were equals.Then again, Kayner didn't buy his words.Even if he asked to guard the tomb by himself, if the father knew his personality well, he might have known that he would ask for this, and then it would be possible to secretly hide the treasure here without telling him!Maybe the boy himself didn't know that there was a treasure hidden here, so it's no wonder he said so.

Look, look, here he is again.Kena complained to himself, and picked up a mantou flower and ate it vigorously: I am such an idiot!Always reasoning about things that have nothing to do with the current situation.Just like what the Eudemons boy said, even if he has figured out the cause and effect of these things now, he still can't get out from here.Obviously finding a way to get out is the most important thing, how could he forget it!

Seeing that he was silent, the boy stopped talking and sat on the side eating steamed buns.There really isn't much else to do here, though.Kenna can understand why the boy has been sleeping for 15 years, and staying alone in this huge garden with only steamed buns for 15 years, even animals would go crazy, let alone humans.Ah,—he's a phantom, but that doesn't make any difference.

He was even more puzzled.There is no future in guarding a dead man's cemetery. The reason why the guards of the royal tombs are dedicated to their duties is only as a job to earn a little salary to support their families.But this person seemed to be just trying to be loyal to Lian Ji.This is too stupid.You must know that this kind of tomb guard is not a day when there are shifts and retirements, but all the way to the dark.The boy said that he never thought of going out since he came in, that is to say, he will guard here until he dies.

"Then, is Queen Lian Ji's body really buried here?" He thought of this, and opened his mouth without even realizing it.

The boy seemed to tremble, but it might just be Kanna's illusion.He turned his back to the little prince and stood up: "Of course. This is her real tomb. Although I want to take her back to her hometown for burial, she is the queen of this country after all, not the princess of her home country anymore.... already It’s impossible to go back to how it was before.”

His last words didn't seem to be addressed to Keena.Kind of like a soliloquy.

"I want to see where she is buried, is that okay?"

Kane said cautiously.The boy's silver eyes stared at him for a while, his eyelashes drooped: "Yes. Come with me."

Kaina then followed the young man and moved forward through the bushes.The boy walked freely among the flowers, but Kaina walked very slowly because he had to push aside the knee-high flowers.They were walking in the direction of the stele. He and the group of people who had been defeated were going to go there, but now Kena knew that it was probably a tombstone.

They soon arrived at the tombstone, and a few meters away from the tomb, they saw Lian Ji's coffin, just exposed outside, surrounded by flowers.

The coffin was a crystal coffin filled with colored petals. Lian Ji's body lay peacefully in the coffin, her appearance was lifelike, as if she was still alive!

Kaina was taken aback: "How, how... She has been dead for 15 years, right?"

"That's right, you died shortly before you were born." The boy said in a misty voice. "This is to use the ashes of some kind of phantom beast, sprinkle them on the corpse, and the bacteria will be eliminated, and the corpse will not rot for many years."

Even when he said that, Kayna felt a little horrified.Even if he is a prince, he has never heard of such a thing.

"...This is a unique method of preserving corpses in eastern countries. You don't have to worry about it." The pure white boy said as if to comfort him.

Kaina couldn't help but look at Lian Ji's body a few more times. She looked a bit like Juliette, but not too much.Because Lian Ji is a black-haired oriental woman, and Juliette is of mixed race after all.Her eyes were closed, she looked very peaceful, and her features were indeed beautiful.

The tombstone was actually bigger than expected from a distance. The raised part was as tall as a person. It was thick and square, and the queen's life was engraved on it.Keina took a quick look. This woman died at the age of 26, and she was married to Corban III for only seven years.The others are all praises, saying how she cares about the world, works hard for the people, and her achievements surpass that of a concubine, etc.

The silver-white boy stood in front of the tombstone with a very complicated expression, his eyes were not looking at the tombstone or Lian Ji.Keena always thought he looked dreamier.It was about to dissolve into the pure white environment.

It would be very troublesome if he disappeared at this time!Kanna somehow reached out and grabbed the boy's wrist!
