The strongest witch is a boy [Comprehensive]

Chapter 248 The Back of Longevity

Kartikeye returned to Qiandaraja once again under the guidance of the envoys of the Gandharva family, and was warmly welcomed by the young master of the city, Princess Kali, as always.

The little princess of the Gandharva family held Kartikeye's hand affectionately, and introduced him to the flying city again. This time, it was more detailed than any previous introduction. When she arrived in the royal city, she even went to see it in person. In the warehouse, I found out the design drawing of the original Wangcheng, and told all kinds of ingenious mechanisms and secrets in the Wangcheng one by one.

"...Isn't that good, Kali?"

Kartikeye raised objections when Kali talked about the first secret room.

"Oh? Is there something wrong?"

Kali smiled, raised her finger and shook it, and opened her arms with her back to the huge map hanging on the wall.

"This is Qiandaraja, the flying city where our Gandharvas have lived and guarded for generations. Similarly, it will be the place where Karl will live for many years to come. If Karl is not familiar with these secret passages and accidentally gets lost, then But it’s going to be a big trouble, the last maid who lost her way was trapped for three years before she was rescued.”

Kartikeye glanced at the map that was so complicated that it made him feel dizzy, and changed his words.

"Even so, as long as I don't get lost, you don't need to show this picture, do you? Just find someone to follow me and remind me not to go to strange places."

"No, that's not allowed." Kali shook her head very seriously, "I invited Carl to Qiandaraja, and I didn't treat you as a 'guest'... You are the king I decided to serve, and you are here The future controller, as long as you want, Qiandaraja will stay at any location you specify. This is a map that the royal families of all ages must memorize. Now I share it with you. I hope you can regard this place as your own home Same……"

Kartikeye was stunned, and when he wanted to say something, Kali preempted him.

"Speaking of which, these mechanism secret rooms and secret passages are very interesting. If you are bored, you can play for a long time. I used to like to search for secret passages all over the city by myself. When I finally got this picture, I realized that there are still There are so many interesting things."

Kali smiled and rolled her eyes.

"It is said that in some secret rooms, there are still small gifts left by the Gandharva royal family in the past, but those places are not marked on the map. It is faithfully reflected on the map, so if Karl is willing to explore, he may find a place that is not marked here and get a long-lasting gift."

Kartikeye sighed helplessly.

"If Kali just wants to find someone to explore with, I'm happy to accompany you, but the legacy of the Gandharva clan should be left to the Gandawa clan..."

Jiali tilted her head slightly, and said with a smile: "That's not allowed. Whoever discovers the gift will be given to him. This is a rule handed down together with the map. If it is not like this, it will be meaningless. In short, in the future, Karl I’m going to live here for a long time, so take your time, let’s first write down the secret passages of the main halls in the king’s city, and look for the others later, sometimes even if we know there are secret passages, we can’t find the entrance. The opening of some entrances requires a specific melody, so when Carl learns music, he might as well walk around the city and play, maybe there will be a new entrance opening somewhere, it will be very interesting to think about it.”

Kartikeye looked at the little princess who kept saying "boring" and "interesting", and suddenly thought of her current age - he has already spent five years in the heavens, and Kali probably also It's going to be 60 years old.

During the 60 years, most of them were spent in Qiandaraja, because she was an only daughter and she had no playmates.

Those "interesting" adventure times probably correspond to the "emptiness" in this long time - Kali's precocious wisdom will just aggravate this emptiness, if she is like an ordinary "child" in the celestial world, even her mind Also growing slowly, she wouldn't realize more.

When thinking this way, the prince of the Asura clan couldn't help but soften his expression, and reached out to rub the top of the little princess' head.

"Okay, when Kali is bored, let's go find a new secret path together."

Jiali was stunned, and stretched out her hand to touch the top of her hair in a daze, and belatedly felt the warmth of the body temperature transmitted during the brief contact.She laughed subconsciously, and responded softly: "Okay."

"So, shall we go to see King Gandharva now? It was agreed before that this time will be the time to go and choose musical instruments."

Kartikeye stretched out his hand towards Kali.

Kali smiled and held that hand, feeling genuinely happy.

From now on, in Qiandaraja, in the heavenly world, she will no longer be alone.

Although I am a little sorry for the human boy on the ground, the short lifespan of human beings of several decades is far from enough to accompany the prince of the Asura tribe, so it is more appropriate to give her the position of "friend".

No matter what Kartikeye thinks, when his identity as the Asura prince is exposed, even if his attitude remains unchanged, the human beings on the ground will never be able to treat him like they used to. I am afraid that he has also vaguely noticed it. When Karl thoroughly discovers and accepts this point, then the young man who still had the shadow of "humanity" when he first met in the city of Shanjian will completely become the noble prince of the Asura clan in the heavens. .

King Gandharva sat in the garden of the royal city, which is where Kartikeye first met King Gandharva.

Hearing that Kartikeye wanted to learn music with Kali, King Gandharva was not surprised—the emperors and Asura kings of all dynasties liked the music of the Gandharva clan, but it was limited to listening and appreciating , no one has ever deliberately come to study music.

However, Kali convinced her.

——The Asura prince who returned from the human race did not have enough to support him through the long years.

For the protoss who grew up in the heavens, as long as they can remember, they will continue to be told about the talents they possess-longevity, beauty, and strength. They are used to growing at a slow pace and spending long years as usual. No protoss has ever planned how to complete a lifetime of things in just 50 years, that is something only humans can do.

The prince of the Asura clan probably had already made such a plan in the past, and had limited his life span to a hundred years, so he grew up in a hurry, wanting to shoulder the heavy responsibility with his immature shoulders.

Years passed, and Kartikeye finally learned to slow down, but he didn't know what would happen when the gears of life slowed down.

King Gandharva prepared several musical instruments in the garden, from the harp most commonly used by the royal family of Gandharva to fife, drum and trumpet. Many exquisite musical instruments are displayed on the shelves one by one, waiting for the king with great anticipation. The arrival of the little prince.

When she looked in the direction of Kali Palace again, she saw two people coming together.

"His Highness Kartikeye, Kali, you are here."

Kali returned the salute casually, calling her "mother".

Kartikeye stepped forward to salute, and said embarrassedly: "King Gandapo, please don't use honorifics to address me. My visit to Qiandaraja this time may disturb you for a long time..."

King Gandapo suddenly laughed.

"But Kartikeye is also using honorifics to me?"

Kartikeye was stunned for a moment.

Kali immediately laughed out loud.

"I guess Karl didn't realize he was using honorifics."

King Gandapo looked over, and Kartikeye looked back with some embarrassment. He really didn't realize which title he just used.

King Gandharva beckoned the two to come closer, and said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with age, my dear Highness, in the heavens, status is only related to birth. You are the prince of the Asura clan and the future Asura." King, then, you are equal to or even more noble than me. I am just the musician of the Emperor of Heaven, but you will be the most important guardian god of the heavens in the future. We all rely on the protection of King Asura to live in such a leisurely way. .If you want me to use honorific words, then you should also remove those honorific titles."

Kartikeye struggled for a while, and hesitated: "But, there is no way to change the title of King Gandharva?"

"Just call me that." King Gandharva smiled, her name has long been out of use, how could she remember it at this moment, "Come on, Kartikeya, look at the musical instruments here, what do you like? I'll teach you anything. Although I'm best at the harp, I'm not bad at the other instruments."

Jiali hugged the piano, sighed deliberately to attract the attention of the young man beside her, and then winked at him.

"My mother is too modest. She is proficient in all musical instruments. Otherwise, how can she be called the king of Gandapo? In comparison, I am much worse. I don't know if it is because my father doesn't understand Appreciative musical pedigree influenced my talent..."

The little princess pursed her lips on purpose, pretending to be unhappy.

"All instruments?!"

Kartikeye gasped in surprise.

All the things displayed here made him feel dazzled. What is the concept of being proficient in all musical instruments?

King Gandharva bent down to appease Kali, and explained to the little prince next to him: "Kartikeya, don't be so surprised. If you want to learn, you can learn all these instruments one by one. Anyway, we all For a long time, even if it takes decades to master one, slowly, you will learn many, and in the end, you will still play your favorite instrument, but it doesn't matter now, you want Learn what you want to learn."

Kartikeye looked at these precious musical instruments shining brightly in the sun, and somehow remembered the song he heard when they first met.

"King Gandapo, back then... when we met for the first time, the piece of music you played was the most beautiful when played with a harp?"

King Gandapo subconsciously responded.

"That's just what I did, I didn't play it on any other instrument..."

"Then, let me learn the harp. In this case, even if you are busy with government affairs, I can ask Kali for advice."

Kartikeye's hand rested on the harp.

It was a harp that was quite similar to the harp in the hands of King Gandapo, only slightly larger in size, and it belonged to a certain King Gandapo in the past.

Kali cheered happily.

King Gandapo felt a little uneasy, but she still nodded with a gentle smile.

"Then, let's stop Kali's class today. Let me talk about the basics of the harp first. Kartikeye, let me see your hands—well, the length of your nails is fine, so you don't need to trim them... ..."

Kali opened her hand and looked carefully. Apart from the thin calluses on her fingertips, she also found calluses on several other parts that should not appear on the musician's hands.

Well, just be more careful next time.

The only pity is that I can't keep long nails, it's very inconvenient to play the piano or hold the sword.
