The Duke in the Spire of Thorns

Celeste chased Noyce into the woods.

The woods were lush with knee-high weeds all over the place, adding many obstacles to his path.

He walked forward with some difficulty, but Noyce ran very fast and was long gone.If it was Celeste in a waking state, he would never try to find Noyce on foot in such a forest full of plants and dangers.But now, the sweet alcohol gave him a strange confidence that Noyce was not far ahead and that he was close to finding him.

Soon, the surroundings became silent, and the partner B who was following behind him was also missing, but Celeste didn't care. He walked forward on his own, pushing aside the branches or branches in front of him from time to time. blades of grass.

He was a little tired from walking, so he decided to rest for a while. He chose a tree and sat down against it.

Celeste propped his hands on the ground and touched a furry thing. He picked up the thing he touched curiously, and a black bird appeared in his slightly blurred vision.

By Celeste's aesthetic standards, it was a very ugly bird, black all over, with red eyes and gray pecks, and besides, it was very fat, which made it look Uglier.

"Oh..." Celeste murmured, "You are the ugliest bird I've ever seen, really, I've grown up, and I've never seen a bird uglier than you."

Blackbird: "...quack!"

Celeste: "...!" He exaggeratedly covered his ears, "Stop barking, dear, compared to your barking, your appearance is nothing."

The black bird flapped its wings and jumped onto his bent knees, pointing its wingtips at his nose and chattering a lot, looking like it was scolding him.

Celeste stretched out his hand and pushed down the fat black bird standing on his knee. The bird rolled a few times on the ground.Celeste looked at it and laughed, "You can't fly, are you too fat to fly?"

The bird was quite angry and decided to attack this ordinary person who looked down on it. It jumped towards Celeste and pecked the back of Celeste's hand fiercely.

Your Excellency the Duke is pampered, the skin on the back of his hand is very delicate, after being pecked hard by a sharp bird, a wound appeared on the back of his hand instantly, and red blood gushed out from the wound.

This is the first time Celeste has been injured in such a big age. He stared down at the back of his hand in a daze. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He found that there was a strange golden trace in his blood, like golden powder and The blood was mixed together, but in the blink of an eye, this strange phenomenon disappeared again.

The bird was still yelling loudly, it spread its wings, and it looked very aggressive. Celeste was a little scared, and he was scurrying around looking for weapons, intending to find a branch to deal with the bird.

However, suddenly, a cat sprang out from an unknown corner. This cat was also black, but it seemed that it did not intend to let go of the black bird, which was also a black animal, and it bit it with its mouth open. The other party's throat, and soon, the bird became a lifeless corpse.The black cat let go of its sharp teeth and let it fall to the ground.

"Come here, Kitten."

Hillest stretched out his uninjured hand forward, and made a teasing gesture that humans usually use to greet puppies. The black cat seemed to be attracted. It stopped for a while, and then cautiously moved towards Hilles Very close.

It seems that cats and dogs have something in common.

Celeste watched the cat stepping gracefully towards him, and belatedly realized that the cat seemed to be a little too big.

"I saw a fat bird just now, and now I see a fat cat." Celeste muttered, "The life in the hunting garden is particularly easy, isn't it?"

He reached out and touched the black cat's head. The black cat lowered its head and licked the back of his injured hand.

After being pecked by the blackbird, Celeste felt a burning pain on the back of his hand, but with the gentle licking of the cat, the pain in his wound gradually disappeared.

"Good cat."

He held the black cat's face and looked closely at it. Strangely, the cat's eyes were also emerald green, exactly the same as the knight captain's eyes, very beautiful.

He thought of Escrit, and felt a little more pity in his heart. There was no one around, and he didn't want to move, and he didn't want to go to Noyce again. He just wanted to sit here, but he felt a little bored, so he simply Start talking to the cat.

"Did you know that the color of your eyes is exactly the same as my knight commander's eyes." He muttered, "Green is the best."

He said a lot of things upside down, saying what came to mind, without any coherence between the sentences.Even things that he would never say, such as "I like Escrit so much" and "I want to be engaged to him tomorrow" are all said without money.The black cat squatted in front of him, listening intently, and from time to time rubbed its fluffy head against Celeste's face.

"Oh, cat, cat, my little cat." Celeste reached out and hugged the black cat's neck: "Come, come home with me, and be my pet cat."

"I also have a pet rabbit, you have to get along well with it."

He bent down and reached out, trying to pick up the extra fat black cat, but unfortunately, he failed, he hugged the black cat's belly to try to lift it up, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't lift it up This black cat.

Finally, Celeste had to give up. He angrily kicked away a small stone and complained to the black cat: "You are really too fat, too fat!"

As he walked forward, he muttered about the cat being too fat. The black cat obediently followed him, guiding him in the right direction intentionally or unintentionally. Celeste walked out of the forest quickly.He felt drowsy and had a headache, and he didn't want to find Noyce anymore, he just wanted to find a place to sleep well.

However, when he wanted to find Noyce, Noyce was not there. Now that he didn't want to look for him, Noyce appeared in front of him instead, but his expression didn't look very good.

"... What did you bring back?"

Noyce asked with a face full of horror, and the knight B beside him instantly protected him layer by layer, with silver shields layered on top of each other.Celeste looked at him a little confusedly, then at the black cat walking beside him, feeling that Noyce was making a fuss:

"Just a cat."

He reached out and touched the cat's head, shrugging his shoulders: "Noyce, I think you've drunk too much, you're afraid of even a cat, it's just a little fatter."

"Which cat can be so fat?" Noyce yelled, "I think the one who drank too much is you, and this thing is a cat? Come here quickly!"

"I won't go." Celeste squatted on the ground, raised the cat's big paw and squeezed it, "I want to stay with my new pet cat!"

He was vaguely aware of a very familiar feeling about the black cat, which made him feel very kind and at ease.

But his new pet seemed terrified by the battle Noyce put on. It let out a series of "grunts" from its throat, and finally rubbed Celeste's cheek, then turned around, Run away lightly and quickly.

It moved very fast, and it didn't take long before it disappeared into the dense woods.

Celeste didn't want to let it go, so he grabbed its long tail in desperation, but the black cat's tail was so smooth that it broke free from his grasp in no time.

"Hey! Don't go!"

He wanted to chase after him, but Noyes grabbed his arm, and His Majesty the King seemed a little annoyed: "Don't go, don't go, my lord! Do you know what it is? Just let it not go?"

Celeste was staggered by him, and said unconvinced: "It's a new pet I found, a black kitten."

Noyce: "...Okay, I see, now you go back to sleep for me."

"I'll talk to you when you wake up."

Celeste followed Noyce and said, "I'm going to ask my Ernie to help me find a cat."

"Okay, okay." Noyce perfunctory him: "Let your good nanny find it for you."

He glanced at Celeste and whispered, "Eswell must have been a demon who committed countless crimes before he became a human, otherwise I don't think he would have become your knight commander..."

A vigorous black panther was speeding through the forest. It ran all the way, and soon came to the outside of a cave. The cave was very deep and extremely dark, but this did not cause any hindrance to the panther.It reached the deepest part of the cave, where a human male was standing quietly.

The black panther lay on the ground, motionless.In the next second, the man who had closed his eyes opened his eyes, and his emerald green eyes were shining brightly in the dark cave, very magnificent.

Then, he lifted his foot and walked out.

He walked along the road in his memory, and soon came to a big tree, and there was a dead body lying under that big tree.

The corpse was a man in a black robe. His face was ordinary, but with a hint of evil.He took out a knife and cut off his fingertips, then reached out and drew a complex array of stars on the forehead of the corpse.

About half a minute later, the corpse that was lying on the ground opened its eyes. Its cloudy eyeballs rolled around, and finally nailed to the human male standing in front of him.

The man with emerald green eyes curled his mouth slightly, stretched his arms forward, and drooped his fingers, moving his fingertips like a puppeteer playing with his puppet.

As if an invisible thread was tied to the corpse, it stood up stiffly, started to walk slowly and strangely, followed the footsteps of the man, and gradually disappeared into the depths of the woods.
