Superpower manga artist Kobayashi Narumi

The harem abducted.

"Seren, I heard that you were assassinated?" The princess sat upright and asked Seren to draw her portrait.The corners of her mouth moved, and she asked with concern.

"Yes, Your Highness. But Meddy protected me and was not injured."

The princess rolled her eyes and looked at Meddy who was standing behind Seren. The corners of her mouth were raised, showing a smile: "You are Meddy? This is the first time I have met a woman who also likes martial arts. You can come here when you are free. Fight with me in the Martial Arts Field."

Meddy changed back to her previous attire style again.Sturdy leather jacket and pants, hair cut short.

After hearing what the princess said, she answered loudly with a very sincere heart: "Okay!"

A smile flashed across Princess Elena's eyes.She likes straightforward people.

"Your Highness, your portrait is complete."

Salem had finally squeezed out the value of the portrait.So it was "finished" in due course.

When Seren showed the finished product to the princess, everyone who saw the painting held their breath.

The princess in the painting has red hair that shines like fine silk.The unique golden eyes of the royal family shone with the unique determination of the princess, which echoed the "Tears of God" in her hand, and it was hard to tell which one was brighter.

The most rare thing is that unlike many painters who paint the princess as a "princess", she is depicted as an ordinary noble woman.Salem captured the warrior side of the princess.

The healthy muscles and honey-colored skin are the proof of the princess's bravery and combat skills.From a more mysterious point of view, it captures the "very charm" of the princess herself.

Anyone who sees this painting can recognize it at a glance. This is the unique pearl of the Merman Kingdom, Princess Elena.

After the shock at the first glance, after careful observation, someone immediately raised an objection: "There is no reflection of the princess in this mirror."

Yes, this seems to be a big mistake.

The princess is sitting in front of the gorgeous mirror, and her study is reflected in the mirror behind her.This was originally a compositional ingenuity.

But Salem carefully described the luxurious decoration in the room in the mirror, but she seemed to have forgotten the back of the princess herself.

Elena looked at Salem, waiting for his explanation.

Salem said, "I didn't draw because I didn't know how to draw. I can't draw something I haven't seen."

"Painter, what charades are you playing?" a follower asked.

"Princess, have you really never realized?" Salem just stared into Elena's eyes, "Are you aware that your shadow is so gloomy?"

This is the second time that Salem has said this. The princess's expression became serious, but she didn't say much, but ordered the portrait to be put away.

that night.

The moon was covered by floating clouds, and the night became extremely dark.

The floating shadow of the leaves gradually climbed up to Salem's bed, and a pitch-black dagger quietly protruded from it, stretching towards Salem's neck.

Suddenly, the room was completely illuminated.

Meddy held a torch in her hand. At some point, the four walls and all the furniture in this room were replaced with reflective materials such as mirrors.With just one light source, the entire room can be illuminated without any dead ends.

Look at the figure of Salem on the bed, it's just a dummy model.

The black shadow tried to escape through the crack of the door, but it almost ran into the blade of Her Highness the Princess outside the door.

Elena wore her hair in a bun, wore armor, and held a sword.At this time, her eyebrows were raised high, and she asked, "Who are you? Why did you assassinate the painter?"

At this time, Salem slowly came out from behind the princess, and replied: "Your Highness, that may be your shadow. As for why he wants to kill me. Tonight's words are to silence."

"After all, I almost pointed out his existence today."

At this time, the black figure finally showed its true colors, it was actually a man in black clothes and a hood.

His face could not be seen clearly except for a small pale jaw.

The princess stepped forward and took off his hood forcefully, but as if seeing something terrifying, she took a few steps back.

Under the hood was a face very similar to that of the princess.

Unlike the golden red hair of the princess, his hair is crimson red, like coagulated blood.

But his pair of golden eyes unique to the royal family are exactly the same as the princess.

His pale lips trembled, and he smiled with relief as if he had given up on something.

He called Elena: "Sister".

At this point, this assassination, which was a false alarm, has become a family ethics drama.

Salem listened idly to their exchange of heart-to-heart stories, telling them things they already knew.

It turned out that Elena was supposed to be twins, and she also had an older brother.

However, this elder brother of hers is very special for some reason. Instead of awakening the magical energy of the shark, he was born with the magical energy related to shadows.

Because he was young and unable to control himself, he lived in Elena's shadow from the moment he was born, so that the royal family always thought that Elena was the only child.

Being ignorant, he hid in Elena's shadow, and followed Elena to understand the world and learn knowledge.It wasn't until he was a teenager that he initially mastered his own abilities, able to emerge from the shadows and become an independent individual.

However, at this time, Elena has already become famous, and everyone, whether it is the father or the people, thinks that she is the well-deserved heir of the Merman Kingdom.Even the shadows think so.

However, according to the laws of the Yuren Kingdom, if the twins are a boy and a girl, the male will be the first heir.So if the shadow shows up, Elena's status as the heir will become unjustifiable.

Furthermore, if the future queen has a twin brother who has not awakened the ability to transform the scorpion, I am afraid it will also be a stain on Elena.

Shadow saw with his own eyes how strict Elena was with herself in order to assume the responsibilities of the heir, went through all kinds of rigorous training, and made countless meritorious deeds.

He also saw how much the people supported Elena, and how much she was a crown prince.

So, after weighing, Shadow decided to be a person without identity forever.

Of course he would also come out of Elena's shadow and go to the outside world.However, most of the time, he still lived in Elena's shadow, silently guarding her in secret.

After some of her enemies died inexplicably, Elena probably felt it too.

But she never expected that the truth would be like this.

Meddy was moved to tears by the story.

Salem insisted on raising the bar: "These are all your one-sided words. How can you prove your words? Magical powers like shadows are more like those of the Nether race. Maybe you are a spy sent by another country."

"Seren, needless to say, I trust him." Elena wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"You come with me."

The princess walks through the night palace with her shadow.

She led them into a corridor.All the hangings on both sides of the corridor are portraits.

"These are the portraits of the successive royal families of the Merman Kingdom," the princess introduced.

She went straight to the dusty door at the end of the corridor.

The door was opened, and there was only one portrait in the room behind the door.

It was a portrait of a woman. Although it was maintained hard, it could still be seen that it was old.

"This is the first queen of the Merman Kingdom." Elena said.

"In those war years, no one had the consciousness of "leaving portraits".This may be the oldest surviving portrait in Shenen Continent. "

"She is not an orc of the Merman race. It is said that the magic power she possesses is related to shadows."

"So, I believe in you, brother. You are indeed the blood of our royal family."

After the truth came out, the shadow could no longer hide in the shadow of his sister.

Elena insisted on reporting his existence to the royal father, so that he could obtain the prince status he should have.

But the shadow can't live or die.

After a lot of heated debate, Salem suddenly stood up calmly: "Why don't you let the shadow go with me?"

The argument between Elena and Shadow came to an abrupt end, and both of them turned their heads to look at Salem with question marks on their heads.

Salem put his fist to his lips, and coughed twice to hide his smile: "Medy and I planned to go to the central desert, and we happened to pass through the Nether Kingdom on the way. I hereby formally propose to hire this prince to accompany me. go."

"The royal family of the Nether Race has possessed magical powers related to shadows for generations. Maybe the prince will learn more ways to control his own abilities there."

"Well, prince, if you don't want to enter the royal family, then you have to start learning how to support yourself. The job I propose to you is exactly what you need."

"His Royal Highness Elena," Salem turned to look at the princess again, "Perhaps after traveling for a while, the prince's thoughts will change."

"How do you feel?"

Salem's sudden intrusion stunned everyone.

Under his eloquent tongue, everyone suddenly felt... This seems like a good idea?

From Elena's point of view, the Nether Kingdom borders the Yuren Kingdom, and it won't take long to go back and forth.Salem is just a painter again, and will not do dangerous things.Let my brother experience the hardships of being a commoner, maybe he will change his mind and return to the royal family.

From Shadow's point of view, he absolutely did not want his identity to be known by the royal family and affect Elena.So leaving for now is a good way.He even hoped to come back to look for Elena after she successfully ascended the throne.

After several days of thinking and arguing, neither Elena nor her brother could convince anyone, and in the end it turned out that Salem's plan was the most compromised, so they decided to put aside the dispute and adopt Salem's idea.

Shadow came in front of Salem, folded his hands on his chest, and looked away: "Before... those two times, I really wanted to kill you. Because I thought you confused Elena... I have now realized that it was a wrong act ,sorry."

It seems that he was educated by Elena.

"And, in the end, it was you who helped me recognize my sister. So thank you."

"There is no need for any reward, I will protect you to go where you want to go, and it will be considered clean!"

Shadow turned his head.

Good guy, he looks cool on the surface, but he's actually a tsundere who hides his secrets.

Elena still couldn't bear to part with her brother who just found out about her existence, so she asked Seren to leave later: "The annual Spray Festival is coming, it's a rare opportunity, let's go on the road after the festival."

Salem has already achieved his greatest goal of going to the Merman Kingdom, so of course he doesn't care about staying for a few more days.Moreover, he also wanted to personally experience the annual event of the Yuren Kingdom.

Salem fell asleep, and Lin Chengshi woke up.

As expected, "God's Grace" has updated the latest chapter.

At the beginning of the chapter, Seren is painting the princess, and Meddy stands aside.

The barrage is still wailing over some trivial matters.

[Why did Meddy's appearance change back again! 】

【No, I still want to watch Miracle Meimei】

[Drip, your limited skin has expired]

Lin Chengshi: The protagonist of the comics can only be recognized without changing clothes!It's not "Magic X Girl Sakura"!

To Lin Chengshi's surprise, the princess and Meddy's first time in the same frame actually sparked many discussions.

[The princess finally met Meddy, and she thought they would be able to talk before! 】

[Okay, girl stickers]

【Don't worry about it】

Lin Chengshi: I always feel that you have something to say about Salem, but I have no evidence.

After the portrait of the princess was shown, it was time for readers to rave about the artistry.

【Masterpiece! 】

[Sai Shen left a name in history! 】

[I want coloring pages, coloring pages, coloring pages]

But in that portrait, the princess was not reflected in the mirror.

Salem said something meaningful: "I can't draw something I haven't seen."

【Siren started to riddle the Riddler again】

[So the foreshadowing of the shadow is finally revealed! ! 】

[Hook straight and bait salty, bet that Seren will see you soon! 】

【It's so obvious to lure the snake out of the hole www】

Yes, readers have experienced many battles.In the previous plot, every time the princess appeared on the stage, her shadow would occupy the focus of the screen.

Moreover, the time Seren and Metty were attacked together was also a "black shadow".

Astute readers have long since linked these details together.

But when the shadow's hood was taken off and the real face very similar to the princess was exposed in the picture, the readers were still dumbfounded.

[I thought it was a fanatical suitor, but I didn't expect it to be my brother-in-law?Uncle? 】

[When exactly did Salem discover it?]

[When did the layout start again]

【When did you start acting again】

【Thinking and fearful】

【How much did Salem know and how much did he guess? 】

【The wave of Salem is in the atmosphere again】

When the shadow tells about his life experience, there is also a flashback in the comics.

Both Meddy and the princess were moved to tears, but Seren still had a careless expression.

Readers said.

[Old-fashioned story, but still very touching]

【Yes, but Salem is unmoved】

[Hiss, heart as hard as iron, terrifying as hell]

【Even planning to kidnap the prince】

That's right, the dispute between Elena and Ying had no result.

And Sai Lun wanted to abduct a prince and run away with a few words, which seemed to be premeditated.

Finally, with a proud expression on his face, Shadow agreed to join the team.

This kind of drama is classic, and readers are not surprised at all.

[Sahua, a new tool man has appeared! 】

[So it's the male second?Is the male second finally showing up? 】

[The male second turned out to be a tsundere, classic ah]

[Tsundere has retired from the environment... It's so sweet! 】

[Shadow looks almost like a princess, I will have a meal replacement if I don't see the princess in the future! 】

Lin Chengshi breathed a sigh of relief.

The matter of bringing the shadow was not a whim on his mind, he had indeed started planning before going to the Lucia Islands.

Because he gradually discovered that after Arthur's death, the mascot Bear was not there, and the protagonist group of only him and Meddy was too thin.So he has been thinking about whether he can find a character with a distinctive personality to join the main line.

The shadow is the choice that he thinks is more suitable after many considerations.

With a complicated background and good looks, as long as you choose the right time, there is a high probability that you can trick him into going on the road.

So he worked hard to enter the palace, approach the princess, lure the shadow out step by step, and make him owe favors, and finally succeeded in getting a new male second.

At present, it seems that the readers' response to the new male second is relatively positive, which makes him finally relieved.

Lin Chengshi opened the forum again, and sure enough, "God's Grace" was on the list of the first few hot posts on the Mengman forum.

Title: [New partner?New journey? How long will "God's Grace" be popular? 】

[In the "Art Examination Chapter" that readers jokingly called before "God's Grace", Mr. Kobayashi interspersed and showed the customs of the Yuren Kingdom in an all-round way, and the completeness and truth of his worldview is shocking.

In the latest ultra-long chapter, it also shows the life in the palace of the Yuren Kingdom, and I have to admire the fullness of the background setting.

After the interlocking wonderful plot, it seems that Mr. Kobayashi has joined a new partner and is about to start a new chapter.

It's really scary. It's already a phenomenon-level work, but Mr. Kobayashi's inspiration seems to be endless. I don't know how terrifying the popularity will be after entering the new chapter. I'm really looking forward to it! 】

[I thought it was black when I saw the title, but I didn't expect it to be a serious rainbow fart. 】

[I think lz has boasted very conservatively, Mr. Xiaolin is a monster! !Comic monsters! 】

[The well-designed map will soon need to be replaced with a new map, which is too extravagant... I don't know what to say. 】

[I can't wait to watch the following plot. 】

[Although he appeared a bit late, the shadow prince should be... the second male, right? 】

[Like, I don't know who made the rules, it feels like the male second is all dark. 】

[Where is her black hair, her hair is still red. 】

[The black one is obviously the male lead, laugh. 】

……

[Speaking of which, why did the hero suddenly propose to go on the road again?Didn't you draw well before? 】

[My analysis suggests that the reason why the hero was a court painter was not just to make money.It was already obvious in the Kingdom of Insects chapter that it was very difficult for Meddy to protect Seren alone in the chaotic place.

I don't know what's going on in the Nether Kingdom, maybe it's even more dangerous.What's more, according to their previous plan, they have to go to dangerous areas such as desert volcanoes.

Salem probably felt that he and the heroine could not open the following dungeon, so he temporarily rectified it in the Yuren Kingdom.It is estimated that after the shadow joined the team, there were enough copies, so Saishen decided to continue on the road. 】

[It's a mystery, Saleen has earned so much money, he can hire bodyguards directly, must he lie to a prince? 】

[Sai Shen must have his own considerations! 】

……

Lin Chengshi was amazed as he read it. There are indeed many capable readers among the readers. Many textual research parties can infer the truth to a great extent based on various details in the comics.

Except for them, they never thought that Salem was driving the Omniscient Link.From entering the palace to recruiting shadows, every step was calculated by Salem.

After Lin Chengshi looked at the hot posts, he closed the forum.

Before he enters the Divine Grace Continent again, he still has a week to use.

Lin Chengshi picked up his mobile phone and wanted to check today's weather.If the weather is fine, he plans to go to a farther place to sketch.

An email from Miura Yuka popped up on the phone: "Kanin and Taniguchi's wedding is scheduled for December."

The invitation card that arrived shortly afterwards also confirmed the authenticity of the news.

Lin Chengshi had a premonition that he was getting closer to some truth.
