This is a luxurious large bedroom, which is more magnificent and refined than Abner's bedroom. Abner just glimpsed the Imperial Auxiliary Building from the window, and he thought he had not only visited the promenade at the top of the Silver Tower, but also saw His Highness's bedroom. .He clicked his tongue twice and looked around the big bedroom.

Adrian only wore a pair of loose lace-up trousers, and lay lazily on the Duke's bed, playing two cheerful notes from time to time.

The Duke stood by the window, looked out at the rising sun, and said, "This is the first time you've been by my side at sunrise."

Adrian glanced at his back, "Hmm."

"Would you like to see it? You can't find a better place to watch the sun rise in Silver Bow City."

Adrian trembled, turned over, and turned his back on the Duke.

Seeing that Adrian was unhappy, the Duke closed the curtain, sat on the bed, pressed him under him, and kissed the corner of his mouth.

"Come to me, you can be anything you want," the Duke said softly.

Abner: "..." This? ? ? ? ?

Adrian patted the Duke's face, "Aren't you afraid that I will climb up you and kick you away?"

The Duke's eyes sank, as if he remembered something, but soon he smiled: "Not afraid."

"Then I want to be king." Adrian tilted his head and said.

The Duke smiled wryly.

"Then get lost." Adrian kicked the Duke's shoulder, was grabbed by the Duke, and the Duke kissed him lightly.

Adrian narrowed his eyes and retracted his feet.

"I still have to go to the tavern to play the piano, I don't want to stay here, I'm suffocated." Adrian said seriously.

"Don't go."

"You don't care." Adrian kicked the Duke aside.

The Duke became silent, and compromised: "Stop singing those dirty songs."

Adrian snorted softly, agreeing.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, followed by a respectful voice: "My lord, Master Xiao En is looking for you, and Master Abner is also here. I have already arranged the two young masters in the living room."

Abner was taken aback for a moment, and Oreas lowered his head and smiled, rubbing Abner's head.

"Okay, let them wait for a while, I will go right away," the Duke got up and dressed, and said to Adrian, "My nephew Sean, you have seen, and there is another one from the Duke of Apocassery's family. Young master, Sean's friend, I'll go and see what's going on, and wait for me to come back."

The Duke kissed Adrian, and Adrian snorted softly and pushed the Duke away, "I'm leaving soon."

"Where are you going?" the Duke was taken aback.

"It's nothing, I'll be back in a few days." Adrian replied casually.

"How many days?"

"How do I know." Adrian frowned impatiently.

The Duke didn't ask any more questions. After a long time, he asked softly, "Can it be within three days?"

Adrian didn't answer.

"Adrien...promise me, it's my limit not to see you for three days." The Duke's voice was pleading.

Adrian threw the feather pillow at him, "You kid?"

The Duke removed the pillow, grabbed Adrian's hand, and sprinkled delicate kisses on the back of his hand.

Adrian's hand trembled, and he cleared his throat and said, "I will set off from the Breathless Sea, pass through the Cloud and Blood Desolation, and come back in three days at the earliest."

Abner was startled, cloud and blood shortage?

"Couldn't it be quicker?" pleaded the Duke.

Adrian shook off his hand, "No, I'll leave the violin with you. I'll pick it up in three days. Remember to oil the violin."

The Duke solemnly said: "On the third day, I will go to Cloud Blood Desolation to wait for your return."

Adrian rolled his eyes, "As you please, my lords, you are really annoying."

The Duke smiled, and kissed Adrian again: "I'll be back in a while, let's talk when I come back."

"Go, go, go, don't keep your precious nephew and Master Ai waiting." Adrian pushed the Duke away with hands and feet.

Ai what?Abner!Abner twitched his lips.

The Duke hung on for a while, opened the door and went out, and Abner had to follow.

"Uncle!" Little Sean jumped up from his chair as soon as he saw the Duke, and quickly ran over to hug him.

The Duke lowered his head and kissed little Sean's forehead. Seeing little Sean crying, he asked with concern, "Sean, what's wrong?"

Abner saw little Abner standing behind little Sean at a glance. At this time, little Abner was a little childish, with an awkward expression, staring blankly at the two people in front of him, completely speechless.

Abner coughed lightly, and really wanted to go forward and have a chat with this little Abner, but there was no way.He looked at Orreas, who smiled faintly and shook his head.Abner sighed softly.

Little Sean took out a broken bird whistle from his pocket, choked up and said, "It was trampled by father, father, he, he said he would buy me a new one, but I, I don't want it, I want uncle's, Uncle, can you fix it for me?"

The Duke took the bird whistle, and he put it together piece by piece, it was in the shape of a robin, but it was too badly broken, he stroked his head, "This can't be repaired, can uncle buy you another one?"

Little Sean sobbed and said, "I want the same."

The Duke looked troubled, seeing Xiao Xiao En crying even harder, he had no choice but to comfort him: "Okay, buy the same one again."

Only then did Little Sean smile, and grabbed the Duke to hug him, and the Duke did as he wished.

"Hello, Master Abner," the Duke patted little Abner's head with a hand, "How is Mr. Wang Fu?"

Little Abner raised his head and smiled, "Father is fine."

"May the kings bless you, Master Abner." The Duke said gracefully, his eyes wandering.

Little Abner's face was about to freeze with laughter.

"I remembered, now I just lived in Duolun Palace, and I was forced to learn etiquette every day," Abner said helplessly, "My God, why do I smile so ugly, I wish I could give my stiff face to you." Flatten."

"It's not ugly." Oreas stepped forward, knelt down, stretched out his hand, and stopped near the face of little Abner, stroking him in the air, his fingertips never touching his skin.

Little Abu Nanun pursed his lips, stared blankly ahead through the invisible Oreas, and turned his head left and right to look at the exquisite tapestry on the wall.

Oreas smiled, turned around and asked Abner, "How old are you at this time?"

"13." Abner replied.

"You haven't grown much in recent years?" Oreas asked with a smile.

Abner glared at him.

Aureas straightened up, rubbed his head, and smiled again.

Little Sean made a fuss for a while, but finally subsided. The Duke shirked that there was still something to do, and let Little Sean and Little Abner go out to play.The two children bid farewell to the Duke and walked back. Abner followed the younger Abner and whispered in his ear: "Eat more spinach, eat more spinach, eat more spinach..."

Until the figures of the two children disappeared, Abner and Aureas followed the Duke back to the bedroom. The Duke opened the door, and the room was empty, only a wooden harp lay quietly on the bed, and the window of the bedroom was wide open.

The Duke's eyes dimmed, and he sat on the edge of the bed, stroking the harp.Soon the figure of the Duke also turned into a cloud of smoke.

The last memory they entered was in the Cloud and Blood Desolation. Abner looked around, and there was no difference between the Cloud and Blood Desolation in his memory and the Cloud and Blood Desolation in reality. The Cloud and Blood Flower was still as red as the setting sun.

At this time, the long night was not over, and there was a bright light at the junction of water and sky.

The Duke stood under a tree by the stream, holding a harp, looking at the Breathless Sea, and with a long cry, seagulls flew over the sea.

Abner was wandering by the stream, and at a glance, he saw a piece of water not far away that was extremely dark in color. He ran over and saw clumps of black flowers growing at the bottom of the water. His eyes lit up, and he quickly waved to Orreas. : "Hey Oreas, I think I found that black flower!"

Oreas looked carefully, "That's right, although it looks a bit small."

"Whatever, as long as it is." Abner lifted his trousers and was about to get into the water, but was grabbed by Oreas.

"Why pull me, isn't this what we are looking for?"

"This is just a piece of memory woven by the undead. It is very fragile and will disperse as soon as it is touched. And these empusae are just phantoms."

Abner shut up, "Then there is a rock here, can I sit on it?"

"No."

"Then why doesn't the ground I stepped on collapse?"

"That's the memory base..."

"Okay, I get it." He interrupted Aureas' explanation, knowing that he would not understand even if Aureas said it, and he was more and more sure that Aureas was not from here.

He heaved a long sigh, crossed his hips, looked at the Duke who was still staring at the sea, and sighed: "My lords, Duke Margery is really infatuated. Now I even doubt whether he really loves the Duchess." , but why would he marry the duchess if he doesn’t love her, no, no, I think it’s too simple, the duchess is a lady from a famous family.”

Abner turned his head and asked, "By the way, what is that shiny stone you used to collect your soul?"

Oreas took out the stone and handed it to Abner, "This is the bone of the Son of God."

"Son of God! Do you have any legends about the Son of God?" Abner touched its surface carefully, and found that it was not very smooth, but hard and small, and the outline looked like a broken bone.

"God created the first man from the dust, and gave him the power of the Son of God, let him rule over all living beings, and everything will be subject to him. After that, he created his spouse with one of his ribs. This bone of the Son of God is The remaining part. But later they believed the words of the snake and ate the fruit that could discern good and evil, so they were deprived of the power of the Son of God by God." Orreas said.

Abner was taken aback, "This fruit sounds like a good thing, why not let it be eaten? Our legend is different. God created many sons of God, and human beings are just one of them. Live, help each other, and envy each other, and then humans were exiled by God because they killed the mockingbird."

Orreas frowned.

Abner smiled indifferently, and put the bone of the Son of God back into Oreas's hands, "Whatever, I heard that the people in Tongzhou Mountain still don't believe in our gods and dragons, they believe in mountain gods, so far Every year, a young child is thrown from the top of Tongzhou Mountain to sacrifice to the gods."

Oreas frowned even deeper.

"Don't keep frowning." Abner stood on tiptoe and gently smoothed his brow.

Oreas' golden eyes looked at him deeply, Abner gradually got used to this kind of gaze, he smiled, "What will you do after collecting the ghosts? Should you find the way back or stay here? I can tell you, stay here as a knight, and be prepared to be a bachelor."

Aureas was silent, still looking at him deeply, Abner was stared at him tightly, his eyes couldn't help but look away, suddenly Aureas hugged him tightly, and Abner's breathing stagnated , "Oreas, we have something to talk about, don't hug me so suddenly, okay? Do you all talk to others like this?"

Oreas did not let him go, lowered his head, and said in a deep and powerful voice: "Let me think about it."

Abner suddenly remembered the intimacy between the Duke and Adrian, and struggled unnaturally, "Oreas, I'm about to suffocate, we have to see how the Duke is doing."

Only then did Oreas let go of his hand, and Abner caught a glimpse of his red ears in the stream, and he brushed his hair to cover his ears.
