The Emperor's Daily Nitpicking

"boom--"

Something seemed to be unstoppable or uncontrollable, and hit the outer wall of the main hall, and probably swept the huge pillar of the load, so that the entire temple trembled slightly.

It sounded noisy and chaotic outside, some people were yelling anxiously, some people were screaming in shock, interspersed with some intermittent sentences: "This fucking... how to control it?! Ahhh, I'm going to be thrown away——"

"Why are these undead so crazy!"

"Can you identify the direction? Ah?!"

"Follow up quickly! Your Majesty has already entered the door!"

Kevin: "..." It sounds like some unreliable method was used.

As a result, in the next second, a gust of black wind with a breath of death and corruption slammed open the huge stone gate of the temple, covering his head and face.With sharp eyesight and quick hands, Kevin quickly grabbed the stem of the stone cup, barely avoiding being thrown out.

All of a sudden, howling ghosts and wolves filled the entire temple. Thousands of ferocious beasts roared fiercely and birds of prey screamed one after another, all pouring into the ears, making Kevin's eyes go dark, and there was a "buzz" in his head, One head rose into two big ones.

Did this fucking drive an entire farm in? !

The two stone doors smashed hard on the walls on both sides, and the gravel immediately fell straight down, sweeping up a cloud of years-old dust, which choked people so much that they couldn't open their eyes.

Just as Kevin blinked his eyes twice to get the ashes out of his eyes, he saw a black shadow with wings spread down, and Oswald's order came from above through the noise: "Get out of the way! Don't let They blaspheme the gods by crashing into them!"

According to the long-standing legend in the mainland, whether it is the tomb of the gods or the tomb of Phaer, in addition to the totem symbol, there are huge stone statues corresponding to the gods in the main hall.Those stone statues are not pure sculptures, but coffins.

They are hard and hollow on the outside, and inside are the remains of the gods who have slept for thousands of years, symbolizing that even after death, the gods will always stand tall and stand upright.

This kind of statement has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has become a fact recognized by almost everyone, although no one has confirmed it, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to confirm it.

"Have they all come in? Lead this group of things and shut the door!"

Before Kevin opened his eyes, he felt another gust of wind blowing over his head, followed by the howling black mist that was followed by the door. The force was so great that it almost knocked Kevin into the air again.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, but everything seemed to be operating according to the emperor's command. The howling black mist was about to crash out of the door. Someone had already taken a long breath and called out in advance: "Finally -"

As soon as these two words were spoken, the black mist suddenly turned its direction, as if the things in the temple attracted their attention more than the living people.There was a chaotic scream of the black mist, and it rushed towards the huge statue of Phae.

Oswald and the others couldn't react in time, and when they turned around and chased after them, they only saw the scene of the statue falling down.

"Boom-"

After the sound of a boulder colliding with the ground, there was a series of noisy sounds of gravel rolling to the ground.The statue of Phae, which had stood alone in the temple for an unknown number of years, was broken to pieces.

Everyone: "..."

They were so frightened that they closed their eyes directly, and even their hearts were trembling: The Tomb of God Phae!This is the fucking Tomb of God Phae!Not only did we dig the grave of the god, but we also opened the coffin of the god, saving... life...

It doesn't matter if the person sitting on the bird's back closes his eyes, even the giant beast man who turned into a bird has closed his eyes, so it can be imagined.

There was a series of muffled knocking sounds, and everyone knocked on the door, knocked on the wall, and fell to pieces.When they finally couldn't feel blind anymore and had to open their eyes, they suddenly realized that the black mist mixed with thousands of undead souls just now disappeared somehow.

"Where are the undead?" Nick stammered and asked, but he never dared to look near the shattered stone statue.

"It seems that I didn't hear it after the statue fell down just now..." Someone replied in a low voice.

The idol fell...

Why the fuck do you have to be refreshed like you're down...

Everyone lowered their heads silently and took a deep breath.

"What are you doing lying down? Get up!" Oswald's impatient voice sounded coldly again, he paused, and then added in a low voice, "The inside of the statue is empty, and there is no legendary God of Light." remains."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, then quickly got up and looked at the large piece of rubble, but they didn't see anything that looked like a dead body.

This made me feel much better.

Nick and the others patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.

Kevin stood by the stone cup, looking at the ruined temple like a hurricane, with a numb expression: Are these little grandchildren a little lawless?Um?

Of course, the word "grandson" is purely a curse, without any meaning of intimacy.

The fact that the statue was crashed had a great impact on Oswald, but when he found out that Phae's body was not here, the impact of another incident clearly prevailed——Dear Kevin ·His Excellency Fassbinder is standing next to the stone goblet of the temple, posing.

Oswald squinted his eyes, raised his feet over the large and small gravel, walked towards Kevin, and said with a sneer: "Mr. Fassbender, do you feel good about using the drug? Why don't you just have more of it?" A little bit, let us sleep directly into the next century?"

Kevin: "..."

According to his usual personality, if he is not brainy at this time, he might have blurted out the words "the amount is too much, I'm afraid you will be confused", but now he shut his mouth for the first time and put all his energy into beating him. Bored back again.

The young emperor who was walking towards him in front of him looked very calm, with no extra expressions other than his usual sneer.Mr. Fassbinder, who never looked at other people's faces, this time it was much more difficult to inquire into it. The more he inquired, the more he felt... Oswald seemed to be suppressing some kind of anger that was about to come out under his calm.

It's just that there is a difference between this anger and a simple temper tantrum. Kevin can't describe the specific difference, but when he sees Oswald like this, he feels a little inexplicably guilty.

What am I so stupid about?

Kevin mocked himself in his heart, pointed to the stone cup in front of him, and said, "Here—holy water."

Oswald walked up to him and gave him a cold look.

There is indeed a puddle of water in the small stone cup-shaped pool, accounting for about two-thirds of the volume of the stone cup.This water has been stored underground for an unknown number of years, but it is still as clear as water.After the chaos just now, there was not even a layer of dust on the surface of the water, which shows that it is indeed very special.

When Oswald faced the holy water, he breathed a sigh of relief and his face softened slightly.But when he looked up at Kevin again, his face turned faster than the book.

Kevin: "..."

He thought about it and asked again: "How did you get in?"

It’s okay not to ask this question, but Oswald’s face darkened even more when he asked. For the first time, Kevin felt that he deserved to be slapped.

Oswald interrupted calmly: "What do you think? Aren't you the first to enter?"

Kevin: "..." My method is obviously different from yours.

The little lion on the side sat up with a bruised nose and a swollen face. Just as he was about to run this way, he was grabbed by Dan and winked for a while.

Ben obviously couldn't understand the meaning of those big black faces crowded together, but he couldn't escape Dan's clutches, so he had to say and gesture to Kevin from a distance: "I'm telling you, you're awesome! We We dug up all the soil in front of the thorns, and dug more than a meter deep! Guess what? He dug up piles of animal bones! Ah, there are skins, meat, and so on.”

Kevin: "..."

Having said that, he suddenly remembered that in the dense forest of Andoha, Oswald once mentioned that when the priesthood received the letter and was in doubt, in order to confirm the credibility, he took someone to dig into Kevin's grave.

In addition to this time, the tomb of the gods was dug alive twice in a short period of time, and the revenge for killing his father was nothing more than that.

When Kevin was entertaining himself and ridiculing himself in his head, Ben pointed to Oswald again, and continued: "Your emperor said that the separated bones represent a curse, curse God! God, can you think of this?!"

Kevin: "..." I'm still that unlucky ghost who was cursed, which you would never have imagined.

However, when he heard the curse, his expression was complicated for a moment, and then he quickly returned to his original state, asking, "Then?"

"Have you seen the lower part of the monument at the gate of the tomb?" Oswald finally said in a deep voice, "I found the words 'the dead lead the way' on it. Just borrow them."

Kevin expressed admiration: "...you really are full of courage."

"Then—" Oswald stared into his eyes, and said slowly, "How did you get in?"

Kevin was stunned for a moment by the question he threw back suddenly, but he quickly reacted.He raised his eyebrows at Oswald, glanced at other people a little further away, leaned over and said in a low voice, "It's also the undead opening the way, but I don't need assistance, because I am the undead."

As he said, he stretched out his left hand behind his back, and swiped at Oswald's wrist: "Did you forget? I'm a dead person."

Oswald: "..."

When Kevin raised his head again, he found that His Majesty's face had changed again. Kevin couldn't help but sigh that it was not easy for his thin skin to accommodate so many complex meanings at the same time.

"Did you know about the curse buried at the entrance of the tomb?" Oswald didn't use an interrogative tone when he said this. "You weren't surprised at all when Ben mentioned it just now."

"I guess." Kevin shrugged, "I didn't know at first, but I knew a little later."

Oswald frowned: "You said before that the reason why you are in this situation is related to the tomb of Phae, and you are involved in this curse?"

Kevin admired his associative power more and more, "It does have some relationship, but it's not all."

With his affirmation, Oswald's face became even uglier: "The wave of undead disappeared after hitting the statue. Is this curse solved or not?"

"Generally speaking, this curse comes from the resentment of the imprisoned undead. Now that they are unconfined, the effect will gradually fade away." Kevin casually reassured.

Oswald was much stimulated by his seemingly omniscient state, and was a little numb. He didn't say much, but just stared at him for a long time again.

"..." Kevin said helplessly, "I've noticed that you like to stare into other people's eyes recently. Believe me, this is not a comfortable way to stare."

Oswald didn't change anything because of his words, so he should watch or continue to watch.After pondering for a moment, he made a guess without saying a word: "I even suspect now that you were involved in the time Emperor Besseman came to the Tomb of God Phae."

Kevin knocked on the rim of the stone cup, taking a moment to say: "How many things have you pondered over, why don't you just ask them together, don't squeeze them out one by one like pouring beans."

"So your answer is?" Oswald insisted.

"Okay, I can barely count myself in." Kevin sighed.

Oswald: "..."

"What's your expression?" Kevin was amused by his toothache-like expression, so he didn't come close at all, but straightened up and crossed his arms, and said slowly: "You asked me last time How many years have I lived, can I count it now? Or should I change my name to great-great-great-grandfather?"

This stinky and shameless bastard got carried away when he was making fun of people, and he suffered retribution as soon as he finished saying this sentence.

Oswald paused suddenly when his eyes glanced at his arm, and then pulled his wrist with astonishing force as always, making Kevin almost stagger.

"What happened to your arm?!" Oswald's anger, which had been suppressed for a long time, suddenly rushed to his head, and he asked sharply, "Why did you suddenly have such a big wound while standing here?!"

Although the emperor's strength was great, it was only on the wrist, and he deliberately avoided all places that might touch the wound.His knuckles and tiger's mouth were all white and bloodless, which showed how much strength and anger he had used.

The wound was getting bigger and bigger right under his nose, dripping with blood and blood, gurgling down Kevin's arm, and Oswald's hands were covered in the blink of an eye.

"Speak!" Oswald's expression looked as if he was about to swallow his life alive, which made Kevin feel guilty again.

When he was in Parsons Manor many years ago, he only felt that the eight or nine-year-old young master's personality was not awkward at 01:30, but probably caused by the abnormal growth environment, and the way he expressed his emotions was always ingenious.The one I like in my heart always talks about being bored, and when I want to attract people's attention, I especially like to contradict others. Sometimes I am extremely paranoid and like to go to extremes, but the essence is not bad.

In fact, Kevin can tell the child's thoughts at a glance, but unfortunately, he has a bad nature and is a complete jerk.Knowing it, he knew it, but he didn't follow the young master's intention at all, he had to tease people so much that they wanted to roll up their sleeves and fight for fun.

Although he is an asshole, he is still very self-aware to some extent.Knowing that he was walking around with him so much, it would be nice if the young master didn't hate him, and it was impossible to like him much.

Therefore, when he proposed to come to the Tomb of God Phae alone, Oswald's reaction actually surprised him a lot.

After all, he could tell that although His Majesty the Emperor had a bad face all day long, when he stopped him, it was really out of kindness and concern.So much so that Kevin felt that Oswald had the potential of "masochism" at that time.

But this time it was different. Back then, although Oswald strongly opposed his proposal out of fear, he was never so angry.

So much so that Kevin directly put his surprise on his face.

Probably seeing his expression, Oswald's tightly clenched fingers loosened a little, and his sinking expression forcibly eased up, and he asked again: "What's going on with you? You're obviously not injured, but Suddenly he festered like this."

Kevin replied: "Because in the tomb of the gods, the physical condition is not stable. After all, this is not a place suitable for living people to stay. It should be better after going out."

As he spoke, he pointed to the arm held by Oswald, and said, "Did you see it? It's starting to heal."

As he said, after the shocking wound that almost revealed the bones expanded to the extreme, it healed towards the middle at a speed visible to the naked eye, first the muscles and bones and then the flesh.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do here. What are you supposed to be busy with? Don't you want the holy water? Just let it hang out like this?" Kevin waved his hands, looking alive and kicking.

However, his body seemed to be devoted to hitting him in the face. As soon as he finished speaking, the part of his neck near his shoulders began to fester again. It probably hurt a lot because of the movement, which made him frown slightly. .

Oswald: "..."

Kevin: "..."

To be honest, both the process of ulceration and expansion and the process of healing are quite blinding and very unsightly. Compared with the small opening in the wrist last time, these are much more scary.

In Kevin's view, this kind of thing is really not suitable for inviting people to share, so he "coughed", moved his fingers, and raised his eyebrows at Oswald: "Almost, my hands are covered Your grip is numb, and my neck is being pulled even harder by you, so let me move around first."

Oswald clutched his wrist and didn't respond immediately. He still kept his eyebrows lowered and stared at the wound. He didn't know if he didn't hear him or he was thinking about something else.After a while, he raised his head and let go of his fingers, nodding his head and uttering a word slowly: "Okay."

There was nothing wrong with the content of the short-distance conversation in just a few minutes, but the atmosphere was really weird. When Kevin withdrew his hand, he habitually took a step back before he began to pinch his wrist to activate the blood.

Oswald had already turned and walked towards the crowd. When he turned his head, his expression was very solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Kevin heard him order to Wujin cavalry: "Whoever's water bag is empty, come over and fill it with holy water."

After saying that, he turned around and searched again, and asked, "Where is the medical officer? Where is the medical officer?"

"Your Majesty, I'm here. I knocked my leg and got a little cramp. Do you have any orders?" The medical officer raised his hand near the ruins of the idol, struggling to stand up.

"Come on, don't move, I'll go over." After Oswald finished speaking, he lifted his foot and stepped over a few gravels, walked up to the medical officer and squatted down, and asked a few words about the medical officer's situation in a low voice.

Kevin withdrew his gaze, and didn't continue to pay attention to the movement over there, only thinking about things related to the curse.

But just a moment later, the familiar sound of steady footsteps approached again.Kevin raised his head helplessly, and saw Oswald waving at him, saying, "Let them pour holy water, don't pretend to be there, come here and pack up and prepare to go back."

Kevin nodded, and walked over. When he came to Oswald, he turned his head and said in a low voice with a straight face: "Such a big wound, it won't heal quickly, I Take some powder from the doctor."

"I don't need medicine powder..." Kevin couldn't laugh or cry, "I haven't finished applying it yet, the wound has healed, and when the wind blows, it has no other use except to smear my face—"

Before he could say "yes", Oswald relied on his stature, supported the back of his neck with one hand, and covered his face with the other.

Kevin only felt a scent of anthers rushing straight to the front, filling his nostrils in an instant, and the next second he felt a deep drowsiness, as if his head had been poured into a thick swamp, which could not be disturbed. open.

His eyes darkened, and the last thought flashed through his chaotic mind: Are you so itchy that you plot against me? !

Then he fell unconscious.

Except for Oswald's anxious words, the conversation between the two of them deliberately lowered their voices, and the people in the temple had no idea what happened.

"I just lowered my head and raised my head. Why did the little white-faced commander lie down..." Dan Gan stared at Oswald with a pair of big white eyes, "Is he still angry? "

As soon as Oswald picked up Kevin and walked towards the crowd, when he heard such a stupid question, he immediately rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Of course I'm angry, but it's a bit of a hassle to come in single-handedly." Overworked, I asked the medical officer to get him some medicine, and now he has passed out."

The medical officer who gave the emperor a lot of drugs lowered his head silently, touched his nose, coughed and echoed, "Well, yes, painkillers and painkillers."

Dan: "..." He really doesn't understand why painkillers can make people pass out.

But in view of the scene his followers ran into in front of the tomb, he decided it was better to keep his mouth shut and not to ask more questions.

"Your Majesty, the holy water is ready." Nick led the two people towards the side, shaking the water bag in his hand, "Shall we go now?"

Another officer glanced at the gravel on the ground with some hesitation: "Just... just leave the statue alone?"

Oswald signaled Dan to change back into the form of a giant eagle, and settled the sleeping Kevin on his back. Then he walked to the edge of the gravel, squatted down and searched carefully.

"What are you looking for, Your Majesty?" Nick and the others couldn't help asking.

"Didn't you find out that the statue is really hollow?" Oswald pointed to a severed hand of the statue in front of his feet, then swept around other curved stones, and said, "If it wasn't for the What is placed in it, why bother to make it hollow?"

After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense.After being told by the emperor, everyone understood his intention—since the statue is hollow, it is very likely that it contains something, or once contained something. The emperor wanted to find some traces on these gravels.

Because the statue is too big and there are too many gravels, it took a lot of work to find it, especially the only bug lamp brought by Kevin in the whole temple, so the lighting is very problematic.

Fortunately, there were quite a few of them, and each of them collected a few dollars to get a closer look at the insect lamp, and quickly browsed most of them.

"Your Majesty! Here! Come and see here!" An officer raised his hand as a gesture.

"What?" Oswald hurried over, followed his fingers to look at a piece of gravel lying on the ground.

"Look at this arc. If you guess correctly, it should be the bottom of the statue." The officer drew an outline with his finger in the air, and said, "Look here, do you want footprints?"

Oswald frowned, took the insect lamp held by someone beside him, and approached the stone.On the stone, there were faint traces, like some kind of dark liquid, such as blood, stained under the feet, leaving a mark on the inside of the stone statue.

It's just that this imprint is unknown how many years ago, it is so shallow that it almost disappears.

What does the double footprints at the bottom of the inside of the statue indicate?

At that moment, everyone subconsciously held their breath—the legend might really be true, and they couldn't imagine any other possibility except for Faer's body that left these footprints.

"Wait!" Nick dug out another rock beside him, put the rock under the bug lamp, and said, "There's still something here."

"what?"

"This is... a name and a pattern." Nick handed both the stone and the worm lamp to Oswald, "Your Majesty, why can't I understand this pattern? The characters used in the name are also very old, I don't know." Too good at remembering."

Oswald stared at the stone for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "The pattern is flowers... no, it's flower vines and thorns. The name is..."

The ancient characters are quite different from those used today, but some of them can still be inferred based on the current ones.

The emperor's eyes stayed on the strange name for a long time, and then he tried to read it: "Melo, the engraved name is Melo."
