Kingdom’s Bloodline

Six years ago, Gilbert brought Thales, who had just returned to the kingdom, here to avoid the temptation of a wave of enemies.

And when Thales became the owner of Mindis Hall six years later, this place was naturally used by him—although Gilbert believed that with the disclosure of Thales' identity and the presence of the royal guard, this place It should be "unusable".

Thales locked the secret door behind his back, lifted the thick cloth covering the luminous stone, and looked at the small holes that could monitor all parts of the Mindis Hall in the dim light:

In the front hall, Mallos was politely sending the restless Bachelor Julio out. Maybe he would suspect that the restless Highness had done something to tease the teacher again.

In the corridor, Glover and his peers stood dutifully at their posts, with unrepentant expressions.

In the garden, Kong Mutuo and Piroga, who had fought against Thales, were patrolling and chatting. Thales lazily named the party "Prince Special Sandbag Exchange Meeting".

In the back kitchen, Doyle squatted in the corner bored and unloving, biting a long piece of buttered bread, watching the servants busy for lunch.

Thales just took a deep breath, and fell down on the sofa in the secret room.

After a few deep breaths, in the darkness surrounding the walls, he rubbed his brows with his back against the sofa, feeling a long-lost peace of mind.

Like... the dilapidated caves where beggars live in abandoned houses.

Although it leaks from all sides, it is solid and reliable.

Protect all the weaknesses he can't take into account.

Thales rested for a while, sat up again, pulled off the covers of the other luminous stones, and the secret room was lit up.

The Duke muttered something, approached an iron plate next to the sofa, and touched a few knobs on it.

A few seconds later, with the soft sound of the lock, Thales pushed away the iron plate that was divided into two sides, and opened his private storage room - the previous owner of Mindis Hall should have used this place often, but Thales can Imagine, after the Bloody Year, this place was emptied by King Kessel, who was on the throne.

What came into view was a pile of unorganized debris.

Looking in front of him, Telston stopped.

A few seconds later, Thales took a deep breath, walked to the pitifully empty weapon rack, and looked at the biggest protagonist—the said to be very rare imperial sword "Warning".

The hilt of the sword feels unfamiliar to the touch, but it feels good in the hand, making people have an unstoppable desire to draw the sword out.

Thales would have liked this sword even more if he hadn't been able to imagine the face of its former owner and the trouble it had caused him every time he held the sword.

The Duke lowered his head sullenly, and grabbed the dagger he was all too familiar with next to the alerter.

JC's handle was cold, and Thales couldn't help but think of it and the hardships he had experienced.

But its sheath is warm and comfortable.

Like the two people behind it.

Since he entered the Mindis Hall, Thales had fewer chances to bring JC—the martial arts class every morning and evening made him have to go back and forth to remove and reinstall the dagger, but Thales didn't want too many people to see it. Seeing it, even if it is the personal guard of the Duke of Xinghu that he should trust the most in theory, the royal guard.

However, when Thales drew out the familiar dagger, he felt very relieved by that sense of security.

Thales sighed, reluctant to put it down, and turned to the other side.

The black mask Yala gave him was neatly folded, and Thales hadn't figured out its material until now.

Thales smiled unconsciously.

But the smile disappeared when he saw the next collection.

It was a string of bone yellow bracelets, and the long crystal red fangs at the tail were particularly ferocious.

It's like... it was pulled out of nowhere.

Thales held back the bad memories behind this string of bracelets and looked at the next one.

That is a map.

Well, it belongs to a detailed topographic map of a certain palace in the capital of a certain second largest country on a certain continent in this world.

He sighed again.

Thales refolded the map. What Julio said just now made him realize that not only the church, even if this map is seen,

My own troubles are only a lot more.

When the Duke folded the map, an old drawing paper fell out of the map, making Thales froze.

It was a... sketch of a girl.

Thales found it in a book in Mindis Hall a long time ago.

The painter's sketching skills are probably not very good, at least not in the eyes of Master Uhlan, but the inscription behind it is unusual-at least Thales read "The End of the Calendar 11 Years in Exeter, Nike Ru and Tormund, Exeter and Xingchen's agreement on dealing with border issues" thought so.

Thales stuffed the map and the sketch into the mezzanine under the cabinet, then looked up and saw a...

Black-rimmed glasses.

Thales took it off in a daze, a little lost in thought.

He subconsciously put on the glasses, and as expected, the moment he opened his eyes behind the lenses, a burst of dizziness hit him, forcing him to take them off again.

Thales sighed and finished tidying up his things.

Here are all his private collections after he arrived in this world.

Each piece represents a different past.

Wait, there's one more thing,

Thales turned around in a dull manner, picked up the "Acts of the Setting Sun" from the sofa, pulled out the sky-blue invitation card, and stuffed it into the interlayer without any care.

A few seconds later, Thales pulled out a blank draft paper from another page, placed it on the cover of the book, and sat down on the sofa.

He looked at the blank paper and sighed slowly,

When he was still in the Northland, the relaxed environment gave him a clear goal:

Survive and return home.

However, since returning to the stars, meeting the king face to face, meeting old friends, preparing banquets, cramming classes, visitors from the temple, including the invitations from the previous day, when all the strange and familiar things came flooding in, especially for a long time. After being beaten, Thales, who had already gained experience from being beaten, couldn't bear it.

Today, Julio's casual words woke him up even more.

This is not Northland anymore.

He is no better than before.

Even Thales has to admit with frustration that for him, everything is starting again at this moment, and everything is extremely strange.

He needs to readjust.

Just like adapting to Dragon Clouds City and the Great Desert before.

Now, he needs to adapt to Eternal Star City again.

Thales let out a breath, pulled out the pen, and the tip of the pen touched the paper lightly.

etc.

In order to prevent this paper from being discovered, so as to figure out clues from it (after all, even a fool like the meteorite can find out the secret of Liland's cardboard), he can't use too obvious writing.

As Thales thought about it, the tip of his pen rustled.

[One, two hundred and fifty gold coins]

Thales wrote the first entry.

Originally, I wanted to directly write "silly big man", but I was afraid that the reference would be too obvious, so I changed it to this pronoun.

Well, can't count on him too much.

But he knows other great people...

For example, the occult.

So Thales pondered for a while, and wrote a sub-item below in a smaller font:

[1. Little brother with red eyes]

Thales was silent for a while.

related to this...

Thales originally wanted to write "Dog Leg Knife", but suddenly realized that Yala's weapon was also famous in the Sunset Bar.

He needs to be more careful.

Especially as Gilbert said, his identity is not what it used to be, and every move may bring disaster to the past.

So Thales raised his pen and wrote:

[2. Big sister]

This is the first priority.

However, Thales must see one more thing: Although he is a prince, he is alone and helpless in the stars.

He needs help.

And where is the helper comparable to the old department who spent six years in the Northland?

So he wrote the second major item:

【2. The little old man, the mute and the old man】

only.

Thales wrote the sub-item "little slicker", but the Duke hesitated for a while.

There are many people who know this nickname, and one of them still dislikes him and vows to make him look good.

So Thales still painted out the "little slippery head" and wrote it again:

[1. Triumph]

Then……

Thales wrote that unofficial nickname.

【Three: Little Stupid】

Thales wanted to laugh.

But when he thought of the heavy meaning behind it, he couldn't laugh again.

Under the third item, Thales kept writing.

As soon as he wrote a word, he frowned for a while, and finally gave up writing "disaster". Instead, he erased the previous "three" and wrote it again:

[1. Alliance]

For the same reason, Thales decided not to write "Ricky", not to write "I Can't Die", let alone "Sword of Disaster", and replaced it with:

[2. Almost Headless Mercenary]

No, Ricky has been a mercenary in the desert for so long, it's hard to guarantee that no one will know him.

Thales thought for a while, and with a lot of mischief, he took a pen and changed "mercenary" to "Nick".

At the same time, thinking that Ashida might know, he did not write "Thoros", and then wrote:

[3. Boss]

Thinking of what he had learned in the theology class, Thales wrote:

[4. Young and old]

Finally, he framed the four words and wrote a sentence:

[5. Poor information]

Ahida Sacone, dear.

Thales said lightly in his heart, this is for you.

then……

【4. Swarm】

Thales can guarantee that this should be the most rigorous code name.

After all, it is not easy to find traces of magic through the Sunset Temple

So Thales added the following:

[1. Artanis]

But the clues agreed with Ramon many years ago cannot be ignored:

[2. The crippled person]

Seeing this personal code name and the organization it represented, Thales wanted to laugh again.

But it's not just magic that bothers him.

【5. The broken carriage】

Writing this entry, thinking of Falkenhauser's gloomy face, and thinking of King Kessel's cold tone in the conference hall, Thales felt uncomfortable for a while.

but……

Ginny's stern yet concerned eyes flashed through his mind.

At that moment, it seemed that Iron Fist King's icy voice wasn't so unbearable anymore?

First, the old guard.

Thales' eyes were condensed, and the figures of Sackel and Barney came into his eyes.

Their past is closely related to the Renaissance Palace of the Bloody Year.

The group of branded warriors.

No, "Brand Warrior" will lead many interested people to find clues, Thales simply crossed it out and wrote:

[1.Guss]

Six years ago, the murderer that King Nun pointed out to him cannot be ignored, um, and it is also related to the black sword:

[2. Map]

And Heyman, his unlucky uncle (as if there were any luckier people):

[3. Cat]

After writing the above five items, Thales took a breath and took a rest.

And the rest...

[six, you]

you.

Thales clenched his fists, and Thoros' warning flashed through his mind: Who are you?

He shook his head.

First of all, something related to his life: the sin of Hell River.

It is related to the black sword and the sword of disaster.

Thales was a little worried.

There is only one code name for Hei Jian, his weapon and his nickname are shared together, but that man is still inconspicuous everywhere, and he can't think of any substitute code name.

But Thales suddenly remembered that Black Sword was the founder and leader of the Brotherhood, so he had an idea and wrote:

[1. Big Brother]

Plus Ricky:

[2. Nearly Headless Nick]

This is not the only thing that concerns him.

Thales shook the penholder, hesitating again and again.

But he still wrote:

[3. Mother]

Thales stared at the word, with unabated doubt and strangeness still surging in his heart.

Dragon language, dragon breaker, desert, slave, magic... Countless words come together

Finally merged into a name:

Serangirana.

Mother.

who are you?

Thales put down his pen and glanced through the content on the paper.

Items to do...

Thales sighed:

That's a lot.

Just like when writing a thesis.

Before writing, compiling the table of contents and writing the theme of the paragraph is always the smoothest and most convenient, isn't it?

At that moment, you seem to have thousands of gullies in your chest, tolerant and omniscient.

It's just that things are coming to an end, on the eve of finalization.

How many of these boastful catalog titles can be realized, how many are filled with things, how many are true to the story, and how many can not be completely deleted from the catalog?

It's like... your life is lost and unknown.

Thales was in a daze.

Fortunately, meals have to be eaten one bite at a time, and many things are not in a hurry.

Thales took a deep breath.

The Duke raised his gaze and stuffed the paper into the interlayer as well.

There is no time to be sad.

There are too many things on me, too many eyes to bear, and too many responsibilities to bear.

First, he had to cross the most pressing hurdle at hand:

He's just a few weeks away, welcome banquet.

There, the new Duke of Xinghu, the second prince, and the heir of the Star Kingdom, Thales Canxing will face the entire kingdom again in six years.

"Your Excellency the Duke?"

Thales pushed open the door of the secret room expressionlessly, and responded to Mallos' inquiry outside the door.

He keeps secrets and depression behind him, and brings optimism and strength out the door.

"Your banquet is almost arranged, the schedule of the day, the guest list, and the specific arrangements," he opened the door and saw Mallos handing him a stack of documents:

"I think it is very necessary for you to look ahead and prepare."

bring it on.

Thales paced steadily and said to himself silently.

He smiled and took Mallos's file, which was as plain as ever, without surprise.

Since six years ago, all the way north...

Disasters befell, the king was assassinated, and the rebels forced the palace. He had experienced all such hardships and hardships.

The Grand Duchess of the Vampire, Giza the Magician, and Charmain Rumba, all of these terrifying enemies of this level, he has overcome.

As for being on his territory, at the banquet to mark his triumphant return...

Is there any opponent that can make him fear Ruos and give him a headache?

Thales lowered his head calmly.

The guest list was surprisingly long and dense.

However, at the top of the list, only a few people after His Majesty the King, together with their prominent titles and family crests, entered Thales' sight at the same time:

[Keya Canxing—His Majesty the Queen]

[Val Allende——Lord of Coldcastle, Duke Guardian of the North]

【Bob Dylan—Lord of Huigang City, Duke of East China Sea Guardian】

[Kust Nantrist——The Lord of the Jungle City, the Duke of the Cliffs]

[Jane Kevin Dill - Lord of the Emerald City, Guardian Duke of the South Bank]

Three seconds later.

Thales put down the list and showed a bitter face.

This Laoshizi banquet...

Can he not go?
