The Emperor's Daily Nitpicking

This kind of silence is what Kevin hates the most.It was as if all of a sudden everyone died, no longer existed, no past, no future in sight.It always brought back some not-so-good memories, although in reality, he knew what the hell was going on.

That is a desert race entrenched in the west of the continent. Because of its treacherous, weird and insidious whereabouts, it is called Sand Ghost by most people.Every time a certain number of sand ghosts rush across the border, people within a radius of [-] meters will have the illusion of closed eyes and ears-no sound can be heard, and no one can see anyone other than themselves.

Of course, the duration is very short, only about ten seconds or so.

But at such a critical moment on the battlefield, even ten seconds is quite fatal.Therefore, during the years when Kevin was the commander of the Bronze Army, most of his time was spent on "resisting the attack of sand ghosts", and he even "died" on such a battlefield in the end.

"The ghosts linger..." Kevin turned cold and put one hand on the handle of the dagger at his waist, tensing every nerve in his body...

It's almost become a reflex of sorts.

There was a sudden knock on the car door.

Kevin jumped up in an instant, went out with a knife, and nailed it hard to the car door.

His physique is not strong, his whole body is only covered with a layer of thin muscles, so there is no advantage in terms of strength alone.But years of experience made him well versed in offensive skills, so he pierced through the seemingly heavy car door.Between pulling and stirring, the door shaft broke, and the whole door collapsed.

Kevin: "..." What the hell? !

A gust of wild wind whizzed by the side of the car, and the stones brought up collided with the car, making a series of "click" collision sounds, exactly the same as the movement just now.A handful of fine grains of sand rushed in from the open car door, covering Kevin's face——

The sand ghost has gone, the hearing has recovered, and the hallucinations have disappeared.

"Very good, you removed my door less than 5 minutes after I came down." Oswald's voice sounded not far away, and as the rustling footsteps got closer, "Your Excellency Fassbinder, are you free?" Are you panicking?"

"Are you looking for a fight?" Kevin was annoyed by the sand ghost's attack, and he replied without thinking.

Oswald: "..."

"Are they really just passing by?" Kevin squatted on one knee by the car door, his posture unchanged, his defenses not loosened, and he carefully scanned the surroundings with a short knife in his hand, "How is it possible..."

Oswald walked closer, put his little arm on the door frame with a "bang", and said to him angrily: "This is a place of exile, not a battlefield. Sand ghosts 'purely passing by' are common here. things."

"Sand ghosts can turn any place into a battlefield, and they won't be able to learn how to write the word 'rules' in their next life." Kevin said coldly.

Oswald clamped the tip of Kevin's knife with two fingers, and moved him in a direction: "According to the old law of the Golden Lion Empire, people like you who hold a knife against the emperor will be hanged." Those who go up to the minaret are naked."

"And this carriage door—" He kicked the smashed door on the ground again with his toe, sneered, and said concisely: "Pay."

Kevin: "..." I'm sorry for your grandpa!

He buckled the dagger back to his waist, slapped Oswald's hand on the door frame away, and jumped out of the car.

After recovering hearing, the world outside the car suddenly became extremely noisy——

This is a very messy town. Houses and castles of different styles are mixed together, far or near, without any planning at all. It seems that the land is divided up, and one place is occupied.

This town known as the "Land of Diaspora" is located at the junction of different ethnic forces and occupies the largest "crossroads" in the middle of the mainland. involve.It is hell for some and heaven for others.

No matter how chaotic the place is, there are unwritten rules that have been formed for a long time. At least even sand ghosts will not act rashly here, so to a certain extent, this place is both dangerous and safe.

As usual, Oswald's chariots and horses could only stay on the outskirts of the town, in the abandoned temple of Crow's Nest, which was reserved for passing troops to rest, and were guarded by heavy armored cavalry.The rest of the elite team was divided into two groups, one group went to buy rations and drinks for everyone, and the other group disguised a little and followed Oswald.

Kevin relaxed his muscles and bones under the car, and saw Oswald look him up and down with his arms folded, his expression revealing the impatience unique to young people.

"Why did I hurt your eyes, Your Majesty?" Kevin said angrily.

"Have you finished twisting? Come with me after twisting, Mio is still waiting." Oswald turned his head and walked towards the center of Diaspora.

"What are you doing?" Kevin chased after him in a daze, and followed him to a store made of huge stones.

The lady proprietress in the shop turned on the lights, she was propping her chin, and said lazily to Mio: "Two sets of seven silver coins, no counter-offering, [-]% off for those from the Golden Lion Empire, and [-]% off for those from Leiyin City."

Mio was holding two sets of clothes, one big and one small, and blinked: "Why?"

The proprietress: "Because they are generally good-looking."

Mio suddenly got excited: "Look at me, yes, with my face, how much discount can I get?"

The proprietress was very shameless: "I don't like natural rolls. If you talk nonsense, I will increase the price for you."

Mio: "..."

The little lion standing beside his legs followed suit and said, "Sister, look at me, can I get a discount?"

The proprietress gave him a sideways look: "You clean up your bird's nest first, but for the sake of calling you sister, I will give you a [-]% discount."

The corner of Kevin's mouth twitched, and he grabbed Oswald: "I'm really interested, and I even went shopping in a clothes store, did you let me?"

Oswald pulled the sleeve out of his hand arrogantly, patted it, and said: "If you, and the little brat inside, dangle in front of me wearing this clothes that has been rolled into several layers of mud, I will They ordered people to hang you on the city wall to dry for half a month."

Kevin: "...it's amazing to be the emperor, isn't it?"

Oswald threw a stiff "yes" and raised his hand to push Kevin through the door.He probably really couldn't stand the clothes, and when he pushed it, his hand would loosen as soon as he touched it, as if his fingers would rot if he left it for a few seconds.

When the proprietress glanced at Kevin, she brightened up: "Come and have a drink, we will not bargain at all, and I will give you a [-]% discount for your face."

Then I looked at Oswald again, and said with a smile: "You also get [-]% off, if I can touch your muscles, I will give you [-]% off."

Oswald: "..."

Kevin laughed and said, "At most, you can deal with him just as an adult?"

"Fart, you've just grown up!" Oswald said sullenly.

Mio said: "Your Majesty...he is 21!"

Kevin said perfunctorily, "Oh, it's so big."

"Shut up!" Oswald grabbed the clothes that Mio had taken, and stuffed them heavily into Kevin's arms, "Hurry up and change your rag, or I'll tear it apart."

Kevin rolled his eyes at him unceremoniously, and entered the fitting room with the clothes in his hands.

Mi Ao took out the money, with an indescribable expression: "..." He actually rolled his eyes at the emperor, he grew up eating bear gall!

While Kevin was changing clothes, Oswald ordered Mio to buy a vulture.

"Didn't you plan to buy it at all?" Mio almost thought he had misunderstood the meaning.

"Now I'm planning." Oswald said nonchalantly: "He tore the door of the carriage and he is still a ghost! Oh yes, just buy one. If he doesn't pay for the door, he will tie it with a rope and let him Run back to St. Antis."

As soon as Kevin came out of the fitting room, the emperor's malice smeared his face: "..."

Mi Ao always felt that the two could fight at any time, so he hurriedly dragged the little lion up with the money bag, and ran away without looking back.

Kevin couldn't help muttering: "When did that kid get better with Mi Ao?"

"People don't have the stink of beating people when they can't make sense in three sentences." Oswald mocked calmly, then glanced at Kevin, and said, "What is the origin of that kid?"

Kevin pretended to be stupid: "Huh?"

The two walked all the way towards the abandoned temple of Crow's Nest. Oswald squinted and scanned the houses and shops on the side, and said, "You don't need to repeat the nonsense you made up to fool Mio, I heard that brat mutter However, if you want to find someone, it is still a family member, and what you made up is completely incompatible."

Kevin also heard the little lion mention this, but he didn't bother to ask about the specifics. After all, he didn't expect the follow-up development to be like this.Just as he was thinking about how to answer Oswald, a group of people not far away were walking towards a shop noisily, and their conversation faintly passed into Kevin's ears.

"Is it really okay? After all, it is something to be sent to the Golden Lion Kingdom."

"You care so much, Dian... the young master is willing, besides, that old thing is missing an arm and a leg, do you really take it as a gift?"

"There are so many emperors in the Golden Lion Kingdom who are obedient. What is a new emperor afraid of? He will accept whatever we give..."

Kevin listened to those conversations a lot, and Oswald didn't lose much, and his face sank immediately after listening.

Kevin doesn't come to places like Diaspora much, but he is no stranger to them. He can name most of the stores and know what they are for. , can bet on anything and dare to play.

Kevin and Oswald looked at each other, and followed the group of people without saying a word, and followed into the store.

"People from the Northern Emerald Country." Kevin stared at those people at close range for a while, and whispered in Oswald's ear: "I just don't know what they are talking about—"

Before he could finish speaking, the people gathered in the casino suddenly made a fuss, shouting and whistling.

Kevin and Oswald took advantage of their height and looked over a row of heads.

Surrounded by the crowd, there was a huge circular iron cage, and a Gerry-heeled wolf with a steel ring around its neck was circling excitedly, its eyes were red, and its terrifying fangs were bared.Its body is extremely strong, it is about the size of two people when it stands up, and it is not an ordinary beast at first glance.

On the other side of the iron cage, someone was pushing a dirty adult male lion into the cage.

That person was one of the people who spoke at the door just now, and the reason why he pushed was because the male lion that was "sent to the Golden Lion Empire as a gift" was disabled.

It has a terrifying long scar on its face, running from left eye to right eye, and is completely blind.One of its front paws was also injured, and it limped so badly that it couldn't even stand up. It was half-kneeling and pushed into the cage.

What a gift!Oswald had a cold expression and sneered.
