The Emperor's Daily Nitpicking

Kevin strode to the study, which was already in chaos.

A chubby servant threw himself on the ground, as if he had stumbled, but for some reason, he kept that posture and didn't get up.There were several servants and guards around him, all of them froze in panic with panicked faces.

Cynthia was buried in Oswald's arms, crying out of breath, rubbing her eyes with her left hand, and her right hand was stiff at a strange angle.Oswald's face was very ugly. He carefully checked Xinya's right hand, raised his head and shouted at the guard: "Are you stupid? Go to the hospital and call someone!"

The two guards hurriedly responded, and rushed out without even bothering to salute Kevin.

"What's going on?" Kevin walked in, feeling that the atmosphere was not quite right.If you just fell down, you wouldn't have such a big reaction.

Oswald didn't answer his words first, but said to the other servants impatiently: "Aren't you going to move too? Don't let him lie on the ground all the time, lift him up first."

The three bewildered servants nodded repeatedly and discussed with each other to lift up the fat servant who fell on the ground.

Kevin took a look, and his face changed: "How did he become like this?"

When the fat waiter was lifted up, he still maintained the posture of throwing himself on the ground, without any change, as if he had been frozen.The situation was very strange, as if what they lifted was not a living person at all, but a stone sculpture.

But the stone sculpture could speak, but his voice was shaking violently: "Your Majesty, why can't I move? I can't feel my hands and feet..."

"Let's talk when the medical officer comes." Oswald replied, then picked his chin at his desk, and said to several servants: "Put it on the table or a chair, and see how it can be fixed."

After finishing the order, he turned his head and explained to Kevin: "Sinia fell when she ran in, and he blocked it, but he fell harder. But this is not the point, you have already seen the point, He couldn't get up after the fall, and neither did Sinya's hand that hit the ground."

Kevin took a closer look at Xinia's right hand.

He didn't pay attention to it from a distance just now, but when he looked closely, he found that the skin color of Xinya's right hand became very strange, segmented from the elbow, the upper arm was still normal lotus root white, and the skin from the forearm to the fingertips was lifeless. Grayish-yellow, without a trace of blood.

"Does it hurt?" Kevin raised his hand and gently squeezed Xinia's forearm. It felt like a crunchy gravel, and it seemed that it would be completely broken if he tried harder.

Sinya shook her head with red eyes, sobbing, "But I'm afraid."

The three servants over there finally leaned the fat servant on the chair, and one of them glanced at Oswald cautiously, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you...you were hit by His Royal Highness Xinya just now Listen to your ears, are you really okay?"

Oswald said with a stinky face: "The sound is a little fuzzy."

"You were hit too?" Kevin frowned. He didn't have any scruples about Oswald. When he heard this, he reached out and touched Oswald's ear, pressing and pressing to find the hardened place. In this way, he touched the earlobe all the way along the pinna, without daring to use any force from the beginning to the end, just touching it lightly like pinching Xinya's arm.

After a while, Kevin took a step back and said, "It hasn't hardened, but it's a little hot, maybe it hit a little lighter. You said it's starting to affect your hearing?"

After he said this, he turned his eyes, only to find that Oswald's expression was a little weird, and he mocked him forcefully without even looking at him: "Going out without a brain? Who told you it was this ear?!"

"..." Kevin replied angrily: "I touched it for more than a minute before you realized that I touched it wrong?"

Oswald snorted coldly from his nose, with an arrogant expression, a slap in the face, and a good air.It's a pity that the tiger's skin had just stretched out before it showed its strength, but because of a red ear, it deflated again due to a leak.

Kevin thought it was a bit funny seeing him like that, but because the scene was inappropriate, he had to make his expression more serious, and walked around to the other side of Oswald.

This time I don't need to touch it with my hands, because the change in Oswald's ear is very obvious, just like Xinia's arm, it is bloodless and grayish-yellow.

Kevin said worriedly: "If you accidentally press it while sleeping, will it be broken directly?"

Oswald's face turned green in an instant, he rolled his eyes, and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Don't worry, shut your crow mouth!"

The two were talking, when the two guards who had gone to invite the medical officer came back, the medical officer who was held between them looked so old that he was about to grow old, thin and small, like a man with two slender legs Legs of shriveled beans.He was almost carried back by the guards, his feet didn't touch the ground, and he was not put down until he entered the study.

The old medical officer took a breath while singing three sighs, saluted Oswald, and said in a drawn-out tone: "Your Majesty—"

"Don't worry about it, see a doctor directly." Oswald had a headache when he heard him speak, and simply put Sinia's right hand under the nose of the old medical officer.

He briefly talked about the situation of Xinya and the fat servant, then frowned and stared at the old medical officer, waiting for him to speak.

The old medical officer didn't seem to have good eyesight, and the tip of his nose almost touched the back of Xinya's hand.He looked at it for a while, pondered for a while, then moved tremblingly to the chair, and checked the fat servant up and down, inside and out.

"Have you seen the result?" Oswald couldn't help but ask.

The old medical officer nodded, then shook his head again: "I don't know what disease it is, but I saw it in a book."

Oswald: "What book?"

The old medical officer scratched his face, raised his head and thought for a long time, and said, "I forgot the title of the book."

Oswald: "..."

As long as the medical officer is younger, Oswald can order him to be crossed out!

"But I remember that part." The medical officer took a deep breath, and added, "That was in Besseman's time. According to the seniority, it was the generation of your great-grandfather's great-grandfather. The book said that In the summer of last year, there was a plague of rats in the royal city, and a strange disease suddenly became popular in the palace. People who were healthy suddenly couldn’t move, including Emperor Besserman himself, who also had an arm infected. The description of the disease seems to be similar to Xin The situation of Her Highness Nia and this servant is very similar."

"Rat plague?" Kevin turned his head and looked out the window. Sesame-sized black bugs were flying in all directions in the corridor, flooding the hallway, which was a bit similar to what the medical officer said back then.

Oswald also glanced at the flying insect, frowned and asked, "What happened next? Is there any solution?"

"The court medical officer was helpless, so Emperor Besserman could only find another way. At that time, the Spirit Race had not moved to the sea, and they had frequent contacts with our country. The emperor invited the elders of the Spirit Race at that time to come and see." The old medical officer After recalling it carefully, he continued, "I remember that the Great Elder said that it was not so much a disease, but rather some kind of witchcraft similar to an infectious disease. Later, the emperor followed the Great Elder's suggestion and went to the tomb of the God of Phae."

Kevin picked his ears: "Whose tomb?"

Oswald was also surprised: "The tomb of Phaer? The underground tomb of Phaer, the god of light?"

The old medical officer nodded.

Oswald and Kevin both showed "Are you fucking kidding me?" expressions at the same time.

Sinia had been brainwashed by Oswald for a year, and the name of the God of Light, Phaer, sounded like thunder to her.The girl who was crying like a puppy stopped her tears suddenly, and said, sobbing, "Can I see him in the tomb of God? I want to go..."

The old medical officer said kindly: "Go to the tomb of the god and see his bones."

Cynthia: "..."

It is said that Oswald, who "likes Phaeth very much", couldn't listen to it. He glared at the old medical officer and got back to the topic: "Why did the Great Elder of the Spirit Race let them go to the tomb of Phaeth?"

The old medical officer waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, do you believe in the old God or the Empress God?"

Oswald replied: "I don't believe in either, I believe in myself. But compared to the two, I am more inclined to the old gods."

Xinya turned to look at him: "Is it because of Phae?"

Oswald rolled his eyes, and directly covered her face with his palms, lest she make trouble again.

"Your Majesty should know that the God of Light is not only in charge of light, but also in charge of war and health. The Great Elder said that the source of witchcraft is the same as the gods, and they cannot solve it. Your Majesty, have you heard of the legend of the tomb of the God of Phae? The most widely circulated one, there is a Silver Sparrow Holy Grail in the altar of the main hall of the Tomb of Faer God, and the cup is full of holy water."

Oswald: "...is it still useful after so many years?"

Fortunately, he is the emperor, otherwise, if he said this in front of the faithful believers of the old gods, he would definitely be beaten.

The old medical officer held back for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "At least the original Emperor Besseman succeeded, otherwise there would be no successor."

This is the most important thing.

Oswald pondered for a moment, then said to the old medical officer, "Okay, I see. Do you still have a way to find that book?"

The old medical officer saluted again tremblingly, and said, "I'll go back and try."

After the old medical officer and the gang of servants were sent away, only Kevin and him were left in the study.Looking at his expression, Kevin knew that he didn't really pin all his hopes on the tomb of God Phae.Because that's not a place that ordinary people can go.

There are many descriptions about the tomb of God Phaer circulating in the world, with different versions and different contents, but they all have one thing in common, that is, it is dangerous.

They hadn't read the book the old medical officer said. In fact, the official records about Besseman's era didn't mention the strange disease, but vaguely mentioned that Besseman greatly revered the god of light, Fae, in his later period.If it's because of what the old medical officer said, then it's understandable.

It is also conceivable that in order to enter the tomb of the gods and reach the main hall, Besseman lost many soldiers.Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the vagueness.

Oswald touched his ears, narrowed his eyes and said, "The Tomb of the God of Phae... This is not a good choice. Too many people will be paid to enter, so it's not worth it. What are you talking about—what are you in a daze for?"

Kevin was leaning against the window and looking at the flying insects outside in a daze. Hearing this, his eyes moved, and he turned his gaze to Oswald, saying: "If you want to go to the cemetery—"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice outside the door: "Your Majesty, the Royal City Patrolling Army is urgently reporting!"
