Almighty Alchemist
Chapter 20 The Lovebirds
In a quiet and dark forest, a boy and a girl are sitting under an old tree, talking to each other.
At this time, there is no difference between a princess and a servant, and there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors. Only a pair of half-grown children are savoring the fun of friends.
Avril Lavigne was surprised to find that the "lowly servant" in front of her was not as flattering as her subordinates. When she gave up her noble status, she found it very interesting to talk with people as equals, because she could hear many things that others would never say in her presence. And the boy in front of her, who was about the same age as her, knew so much that his words were lively and interesting, which always made me laugh out loud.
Oh my god, I haven't laughed more than today in my life.
"The snake lizard may be the only animal in the mainland whose left eye does not know what the right eye is. Its eyes often look at each other with its left and right eyes, and then look at each other curiously. Occasionally, they will touch each other, and the left eye will bump into the right eye to see who is stronger."
"That's interesting, what else?"
"As for the blood apes, they may be the closest creatures to humans. They live in groups and have their own tribe and leader. The patriarch has many concubines."
"Like my dad?"
"Yes, just like your father. But it's different from your father. The blood ape's tribe chief must often accept challenges from young and strong men in the tribe. If he fails, he must give up his position, including transferring all his concubines."
"That's usurping the throne, treason, and rebellion! His whole family should be executed!" the little princess put her hands on her hips and said angrily.
Gong Hao smiled: "You're right, but if you do this again, I won't dare to continue."
"Well, I know I can order you to say it, but as you said, as a friend, I should respect your right to choose. I find it's okay to give in once in a while. You continue to talk. I like to hear your stories about those monsters."
"Then let me tell you another story about the Blazing Bird."
"The story of the blazing bird?"
Gong Hao told Avril what happened to Blazing Bird a few days ago.
She was stunned when she heard that the pair of blazing birds were fighting each other to have the servant draw blood for their mates, and they would not escape even if they had the chance.
"I don't understand, why would they do that?"
"That's because of love."
"I often hear people talking about love, but what is love? Why can't I understand it?" The little princess was a little confused.
"Well... well... there is a kind of feeling that will make a man and a woman become friends first in the process of meeting and getting to know each other. Then they like to get along with each other and are reluctant to separate... If they are separated, they will miss each other and think that they can't sleep."
"Is it like this every day?"
"Well... at least it can last for a long time."
"Then will they get married?"
"Maybe."
"That must be a wonderful thing." The little princess's tone was full of longing.
"Yes, Avril."
Gong Hao thought for a while, and confirmed the princess' conjecture.
"What a lovely love story, Hugh Iglesne, I like it. By the way, can you show me them?"
Gong Hao thought for a while, nodded and said: "Of course. We can see each other when we go back later. But Blazing Bird doesn't like strangers, I can just take you there, but if I bring too many people, I'm afraid they won't give me face."
"No problem, I told them all not to follow me."
"Also, when referring to them, use the word he and she instead of it, and only use the word them when addressing them in groups. It is a respect because they are intelligent."
"OK."
Back in the castle in the afternoon, Gong Hao took Avril to see the Blazing Bird as promised.
At this time, the flaming bird that was released has returned, and the pair of flaming birds in the cage are cuddling with each other, looking extremely sweet.
"My God, they are so beautiful." The little princess said foolishly.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness." Back at the castle, Gong Hao no longer called Avril. But Avril still called him Xiu Yi, which surprised all the followers.
It seems that a small servant is conquering this arrogant princess who is giving everyone a headache.
"Blazing birds and polar ice birds are rare species of elemental birds. They are very loyal to love, so some people call them love birds. According to legend, if a love bird lands on someone's shoulder, it means that he will get beautiful love. It is a blessing from a love bird, and it is extremely effective. If a pair of love birds land on the shoulders of a certain couple within a period of time, then this pair of men and women will have a beautiful and unswerving love in the future. But in fact, this is just a legend, because what people need is the blood of the element bird Not its blessings. So elemental birds would not be willing to bless humans." Gong Hao said regretfully. This is a legend that he found in the library after the red fell on his shoulder yesterday.
But Gong Hao himself didn't believe this, Hong should be expressing his friendship at that time.
"You said they are good friends with you?" Avril asked Gong Hao: "Then can you get close to them?"
"Of course, they only accept my approach."
"I want to see."
Gong Hao smiled and opened the cage, and walked into the cage.
As expected, Red and Green spread their wings affectionately and wrapped Gong Hao up.
Gong Hao stroked Hong's slender neck and smiled at Avril: "Although they are very ferocious creatures, they are still friendly to friends. So don't believe in the contract, but believe in the heart. That is more meaningful and effective than any contract."
"You are awesome!" The little princess's eyes flashed with admiration.
God knows that the arrogant princess had never worshiped anyone before that, including the imperial emperor. If her father Strick VI knew that his daughter used such a tone to evaluate a servant, he would probably be so angry that he vomited blood.
"In World of Warcraft, sincerity and friendship are more attractive than power, and more binding than contracts. So I like dealing with them, and they like me too."
"Can I get close to them like you?" Avril Lavigne asked enviously, "I want to feed them."
As she said that, she took out a handful of snacks from her pocket, all of which were her favorites: "Do they eat this?"
"No, they won't eat it, but they will feel your kindness. As long as you don't give them orders and tell them that this is a reward from the princess, you must accept and be grateful."
"I won't do that again. I find it's much more interesting than giving orders." The little princess replied playfully, with a shy red cloud on her face. It seems that she has also realized how stupid she was to order the saber-toothed beast to kneel to her yesterday.
She tried to walk into the cage and get close to the two huge blazing birds.
Unexpectedly, both red and green raised their heads to the sky and hissed at the same time, their feathers stood on end, showing a ferocious aura.
This startled the little princess.
Gong Hao hurriedly comforted the two flaming birds: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, they won't hurt you with me here."
"But they don't want me to come close." The little princess was very wronged, and tears had already started to roll in her eyes.
Gong Hao thought for a while, then suddenly shouted: "I understand, the blazing birds are not saber-toothed beasts, they are much higher than that big guy, and they cannot be easily moved by just being nice."
"so what should I do now?"
Gong Hao hurried over and grabbed the princess's hand. This rude move startled her, but Gong Hao put his finger on his lips and hissed softly: "Don't bark, blazing birds are creatures that respect love. When I show something to you, they will respect you as much as they respect me."
Just like that, Gong Hao took the little princess's hand and approached the blazing bird gently.
This time, red and green were not as majestic as before, on the contrary, they looked at Gong Hao and the little princess with curious eyes.
It can be seen that they are guessing whether these two people are also lovers?
"Can I touch them?" Avril asked Gong Hao, she looked at the red and green eyes without blinking, feeling excited and nervous.
"You can try, but you have to move slowly. If it dodges, you should take your hand back. Don't force it."
The little princess stretched out her left hand slowly, but the right hand pinched by Gong Hao never moved.
Green didn't dodge.
Avril meets Green.
She caressed the green feathers, and murmured intoxicatedly: "It's awesome... This is the first time I have come into contact with monsters that haven't signed a contract, and they are so beautiful."
It seems that Green did not refuse the little princess' kindness. She curiously touched the little princess with her long beak, making her giggle.
This made her a little more courageous.
"Can I make her smaller?" she asked Gong Hao.
"You can try."
So the little princess said to Lu: "Your name is Lu, right? Xiu Yi gave you the name? Can you become smaller?"
I saw Lv Yangtian let out a long hiss.
She spit out a ferocious elemental flame towards the sky, hitting the magic cage shaking, and scared the little princess to turn pale.
As the elemental flames spit out, Lu's body really became smaller.
Like a colorful bird, Green flew gently in the air, circled several times above the little princess's head, and then landed on the little princess' shoulders.
"Oh, she landed on my shoulder. You said that elemental birds are also love birds. If they land on someone's shoulder, they will bless that person with a beautiful love!"
The princess cried out excitedly.
Gong Hao was also stunned.
At that moment, he remembered yesterday morning, when the princess came, the red also stopped on his shoulder.
It was because of this that he went to check the book, and it was because of him that he told the legend of the lovebirds, but it was also because of this legend that Lv landed on Avril's shoulder? Everything is like a thread drawn in the dark, bringing together a man and a woman from all over the world.
Oh my goodness, this...isn't this really a blessing from the lovebirds? The legend can't be true, can it?
To have a love affair with the daughter of the emperor of Lance Empire?
Gong Hao has never thought of such a thought.
He just wanted to get the princess' friendship by changing the princess' character a little bit, which definitely had a very important impact on his survival on Lianhe Island, and by the way, he would complete his plan to gain control of the puppet warrior.
But he never dreamed that red and green would fall on his and Avril's shoulders respectively.
This is ridiculous. This princess is savage and willful, how could I fall in love with her? Gong Hao couldn't help thinking.
Besides, if I can leave Purgatory Island alive, then perhaps what I want to do most in my life is to destroy the rule of the Stricker family!
But now, the blazing bird is blessing us what will happen in the future?
No, I'd rather think of it as a curse.
Thinking of this, Gong Hao shivered a little.
Hong looked at Gong Hao with playful eyes, as if telling him that this is not a curse, but something that will inevitably happen.
Even if you don't think of it as a blessing, it can be seen as a prophecy.
Gong Hao was dripping with sweat, even if he was beaten to death, he would not dare to tell that Hong once stayed on his shoulder.
—————————————————
For three consecutive days, Avril and Gong Hao spent most of their time in the jungle, and a small part of them played in the cage with Red and Green.
Unknowingly, the arrogant princess was gradually changing herself under the influence of a servant.
These days, she has become less arrogant, and even her whole body looks beautiful. She was very pretty, and when she wasn't putting on that princess look, she was indeed a lovable and lovely little girl.
Although the current changes are still subtle and insignificant, far from being able to compare with the 12 years of nurturing, Gong Hao knows that he can influence her, induce her, and let her know that in her known life, there are still some beautiful things that she has never touched and can pursue. Let her know that it's more fun than endless pursuit of power and superiority.
He has successfully planted a tender seed in her heart.
Since that stay, Green has never stopped on the princess's shoulders, which makes Avril a bit pity. But from Gong Hao, she learned that people cannot be satisfied forever, and sometimes they have to know how to appreciate pity and loss of taste.
Especially...if the flame bird's love blessing is repeated, then her future will be called terrifying.
In any case, after Gong Hao used all his means to strip her of her proud status, this originally arrogant little princess finally felt a sliver of happiness belonging to the common people.
She was free to jump, shout, and say all kinds of innocent things in the jungle, without being hindered by housekeepers, guards, and tutors, and no one would tell her this or that.
All the etiquette is abandoned, all the troubles are thrown away, and here you can feel the nature to your heart's content, blend with the jungle, breathe together with the monsters, watch the mist rise and change like the tide and sea, and there is a smart and beautiful little manservant who does not regard himself as a subordinate but as a friend, who can teach her a lesson without making her disgusted.
She felt so happy.
It's just that every time I come back, I have to get covered in dirt, causing all the followers to complain, and they are very dissatisfied with Gong Hao, thinking that this kid is really trying to bring the princess down. But as long as the princess is happy, that is more important than anything else.
But no matter how happy the time is, there will be a day when it will end.
Avril Lavigne will go back after all.
Before leaving, Avril was somewhat reluctant to part with Gong Hao.
She suddenly remembered what Gong Hao said: There is a kind of relationship that will make a man and a woman become friends first in the process of meeting and getting to know each other. Then they like to get along with each other and are reluctant to be separated... If they are separated, they will miss each other.
She didn't know if she would miss Gong Hao after she left, but she was sure that she couldn't bear to leave this blond boy now.
"I would really like to take you away if I could," she said.
Everything on Purgatory Island is under the direct command of Strick VI. His daughter can indulge in freedom here, but she must not interfere with the island's behavior.
Andrew may have to feel wronged by Her Highness the Princess, but Hines is not afraid of her.
Up until now, he hadn't even been interested in meeting the princess once.
"I can't go with you, but you can come again." Gong Hao smiled.
"Yes, I will come again." The little princess nodded with certainty.
Then she looked at Andrew: "Andrew, I am very satisfied with the recommendation you gave me this time, and I also like Hugh Iglesel very much. I will definitely come to Purgatory Island again next year, because I haven't got a monster I want yet, and Huey has promised to help me find one. So I hope that Hugh Igles will be my guide next year."
Andrew bowed his head respectfully: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your kindness, but you will see Greer again next year..."
He hesitated.
Avril asked dissatisfiedly: "Is there any problem?"
Andrew quickly said: "No, there is no problem, Your Royal Highness, I assure you, this is definitely not a problem."
"That's good."
Gong Hao secretly clenched his fists.
He no longer has to worry about the crisis three months later.
Just before boarding the boat, the little princess suddenly made a jaw-dropping decision.
She raised a long sword of a warrior beside her, and slapped Gong Hao's shoulder with the scabbard: "Hugh Igles, from today on, you are my friend of Avril Stricker. I appoint you as my guardian knight. Anyone who dares to harm you is the biggest challenge to the majesty of the empire!"
This is perhaps the most absurd and least legally binding appointment ever made. Even if she is a princess, she does not have the right to appoint a guardian knight on her own before she is sixteen years old and has not held a coming-of-age ceremony. However, this does not prevent the princess from deciding in advance who will be her future guardian.
Everyone was in a daze. What kind of magical power does that kid have to make the princess, who has always been so arrogant that even the sun wants to bow to her, appoint a "low servant" as her guardian knight in advance?
Even Andrew couldn't help but think that no matter how hard a job is in the hands of a kid like Gryer, it can turn him into a good job. This kid is really a genius.
On the other hand, Gong Hao, after watching the dragon boat leave, murmured:
"I hope that when I see you again, you will no longer be the same as when we first met."
Turn around and leave.
Five days later, the Liberty arrived with eighteen servants.
Sisser was sent away.
Although he works diligently, he has already worked a full year.
No one has ever been able to work on Purgatory for more than a year.
