The Duke in the Spire of Thorns

Chapter 66 1 Everything will be fine

Aponomo was immersed in his own world and talked to himself for a while before he seemed to wake up suddenly.He looked down at Celeste, and at this moment, Celeste noticed that Aponomo seemed to be about the same height as Escrilt.

He hadn't noticed this before.

"Ah, aren't you feeling well?"

Aponomo stepped forward, he stretched out a finger to pick up Celeste's chin, slightly bent over and carefully looked at Celeste, his skin was as pale as a dead man, following As he approached, Celeste felt as if he could smell a decaying smell unique to the tomb.

In addition, Aponomo's movements were condescending and intimacy, Celeste felt very uncomfortable about this, he wanted to take a step back, but at this moment, Aponomo suddenly withdrew his hand .

Then, as if startled, he took a big step back.

"According to my observation, your body is still very healthy."

Aberomo puts it this way: "Maybe you just want a vacation? After all, newlyweds, beautiful wives always attract attention, don't they?"

He just said to himself and concluded: "Well, I am not such an unreasonable person, I am very considerate of your feelings, in that case, I will give you a three-day holiday, after three days , you come back here again, okay?"

Afterwards, he almost sent Celeste out of the door as if driving him away.As soon as Celeste's feet touched the ground outside the door, Aponomo slammed the door shut, without the mysterious grace and restraint he used to.

Celeste didn't leave immediately, he paused at the door for a while, and listened to the movement inside the door, but what reached his eardrums was only deathly silence.

He worried that if he stayed any longer, he would discover some secrets that Aponomo didn't want to be known, so he left with his own doubts.

Outside the door, Escrit was waiting for him.

"It's unbelievable." Celeste's eyebrows raised high: "Well... I thought you made up your mind not to touch the land here for the rest of your life."

"how come."

Escrito smiled softly, and he stepped forward to greet Celeste, "Let's go, we're going home."

He gently embraced Celeste's shoulders, and led him towards the carriage.

Celeste's intuition told him that Abenomo's sudden abnormality must have something to do with Escrit.He looked at Escrito's handsome side face, pondered his words in his heart, and planned to ask.

"Today I was recognized by the Alchemists of Oss."

Escrit said seemingly unintentionally: "Look, this is my proof medal."

He took out a rusty medal and handed it to Celeste, "Well, it seems that the alchemists of the Os Empire are very poor."

Celeste lowered his head and looked, this medal can be described as "terrible", not to mention the speckled rust, the center of the star shape of the medal seems to be pitted, Celeste looked carefully Once, it says "Approved" followed by a crooked symbol.

What's even more ironic is that Celeste also discovered that this medal seems to be transformed from the lowest soldier's medal, and the words originally engraved on the medal were corroded by some corrosive liquid , before engraving these words on the corroded medal.

"I thought this kind of thing would only appear in junkyards." Celeste did not suspect that Escrit was deceiving him, because such a clumsy thing was beyond his imagination, if Escrit wanted to deceive him If so, then he should get a shiny golden medal back.

"so what?"

He put the medal back into Escrit's palm, "Does this have anything to do with you being so gracious to pick me up today?"

"Do you know Abenomo?"

Escrit smiled faintly: "He is the invisible leader of the alchemists here in Oss. Although he doesn't care much about his colleagues, his colleagues think very differently from him. They care about him very much. The feeling of dividing his place into a field that only alchemists recognized by them can enter."

"People always want to do as the Romans do."

Escrit said: "I'm not as rebellious as I used to be, so I worked hard to get this, which is why I didn't come to pick you up until now."

"But I'm eligible from now on."

He once told Celeste that the alchemists in each place usually have an alliance, and the alliance is a relatively loose organization that connects the various alchemists.So Celeste was not surprised to hear that there was also an alchemist alliance here in the Os Empire.

What surprised him was: "At your level, it took so long to get this recognition?"

He began to doubt the strength of the alchemists here in the Os Empire.

——They must all be very powerful alchemists.

"What?" Escrit said in an extremely natural tone: "Do you think I will use my real strength to win their approval?"

There was an almost conceited pride in his tone: "That would scare them."

"I'm just trying to win their approval as a 'new nobleman with a little talent and curiosity about alchemy'. It takes a long time to do so, and it's not easy to attract attention."

It will not let those alchemists who are already on the verge of weakness think that alchemy can be revived.

Escrito withdrew the last sentence.

【what have you done? 】

Abenomo's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, but Escrit ignored it and just put away the ridiculous medal casually.

He kissed Celeste's forehead and said softly, "My lord, I'm already planning our wedding."

Unfortunately it didn't go well.But it doesn't matter, soon, everything will be smooth.

He thought so.

Celeste pretended to be indifferent, and replied, "I'm ready."

In this era, women had no right to own their dowry, which meant that their dowry was entirely the property of their husbands.So Celeste can dispose of the "dowry" brought by Escrit at will.

The false identity he prepared was similar to the false identity Escrit had prepared before. Both were rich heiresses who would bring a large dowry.

This is not in some ridiculous "competitive" mentality. He solemnly declared to Escrit: "This is for fairness, so that you will not accuse me of taking advantage of you when there is a problem between us in the future."

"Oh, is that so?"

Escrit suppressed a smile, and said in the same tone: "Then what are these extra land and residences?"

The "dowry" that Celeste prepared for himself was richer than Escrit's original one. If he "married" to Escrit with these "dowries", then Escrit would be the one who took advantage. It's just as unfair.

Celeste didn't expect that Escrito would actually look through the fake identity he prepared for himself, and felt a little guilty: "Really? I didn't pay attention."

He pretended to glance at the document in Escrit's hand, and said nonchalantly: "This little thing, if there are more, it will be more, do you think I will care about it?"

Escrito said deliberately: "That's fine, even if it's because of my own faults, I don't dare to quarrel with you."

Celeste finally realized that Escrit was teasing him, and was immediately angry and annoyed: "Contradictions? There is no need for conflicts." He added with a sneer: "As long as I open my mouth, my wife will You can die unexpectedly, and so can you. Don't worry, if that time really comes, I will remember to arrange a decent way for you to leave."

Escrit walked over to lift Celeste out of the chair, kissed him affectionately, apologized obediently, and coaxed him back to normal within a few clicks.

Since the two got married, he has become more and more able to deal with Celeste.

Sometimes Celeste would occasionally think of the slightly dull Escrito in the past, and then look at the cunning guy standing in front of him.A doubt can't help but arise in my heart: How can a person improve so much in a short period of time?

However, usually he doesn't think about this question for a long time, because people will always improve.Escrit has improved so much, everything is due to him, and it is entirely because of his good teaching by Celeste.

During this time, something seemed to be wrong with Abenomo. He began to take the initiative to give Celeste a holiday, but every time he had a holiday, he would assign a lot of homework. Celeste was not very interested in alchemy. Nomo assigned homework, and he immediately handed over the task to Escrit. Anyway, a master alchemist was by his side, so he never worried.

He knew that there must be something wrong with Abenomo. Although he was not very close to Abenomo, from the perspective of soul, no matter how much the other party had changed, he was still his "sister" and it was his one of the relatives.Therefore, he tentatively asked many times, and each time he got a perfunctory response from Aponomo.

He always said that he was "fine" and "no problem", and the latest eccentricity was just because he discovered a new gadget that excited him.

Now that he said so, Celeste could only reluctantly believe it.

It's not good to touch someone's privacy too much, especially if the other person doesn't want to tell you.Celeste had to pay more attention at ordinary times, so that no one would ask for help when something really happened to the other party.

He recently had some new hobbies, which was to tinker with some mechanical devices. He dismantled the pocket watch into a bunch of small parts, but he couldn't put them together. Escrit looked at the pile of small things on the table and expressed helplessness. After all, he Didn't study this, no experience.

Celeste researched it by himself, and finally restored the watch to almost the same extent, although there were still some extra parts that I didn’t know where to put, and the pocket watch could no longer run, just looking at the appearance, Celeste’s restoration Work is still very successful.

"This is much more interesting than alchemy."

He muttered, "I guess I'll learn more about these, they must be very interesting."

Escrito looked at him silently, didn't speak, just gave Celeste a tender kiss.
