Kingdom’s Bloodline

If you ask a star person, which department under the king is the most terrifying, he will blurt out "Kingdom Secret Department" nine times out of ten.

But if he asked where the fear was, the custodian asked him three questions.

Only for Thales, this department can be regarded as an "old acquaintance": whether it is the first meeting of the Black Prophet in the Mindis Hall, or being imprisoned in Longxiao City, or meeting in a hurry in the Blade Camp, the number of times they have dealt with is indeed Too much.

Unfortunately, it was definitely not pleasant.

Now, this mysterious department that has been in operation since King Fuxing's time, the highest intelligence agency of Star Kingdom, is sitting in front of him.

"Is this the Kingdom Secret?"

Thales stepped off the carriage and looked at the manor in the southern suburbs of Yongxing City: Surrounded by small rivers, sparse fields, simple low walls, and old mansions.

There are even farmhouses, warehouses, and even woodlands that have been left unused for many years and grow freely.

Ordinary, quite satisfactory.

If it wasn't for the vast land but few people, this would be a standard suburban aristocratic manor.

Maybe it was confiscated after copying a certain noble family, Thales thought.

"At least for the past ten years, yes."

Raphael greeted the driver of the carriage. The latter remained silent and disappeared before Thales with the sound of horseshoes.

Just like an ordinary country traveler.

The bone man made a "please" gesture to the prince, and gestured to the iron gate of the manor not far away.

However, the whole manor was silent, almost dead silent.

like a grave.

"I don't see many guards."

Thales suppressed his anxiety, stepped on the autumn leaves all over the ground, and followed Raphael towards the iron gate.

But he soon discovered an abnormality: two black crows came out of the dense forest, passed over their heads, and sank into the quaint manor.

"unnecessary."

Raphael's pace is relaxed:

"Ordinary invaders are no threat to us.

"

Thales raised his eyebrows:

"What's unusual?"

But at this moment, Thales' hairs stood on end, and there was a whistling wind in his ears.

Reminded by the roar of the crime of prison river, he quickly turned his head!

But it was too late.

I saw a huge black shadow coming through the air, unstoppable.

Straight to Thales!

"No!"

Amidst Raphael's frightened and angry voice, Thales could only seize the reaction time given to him by the crime of Hell River, and he was worthy of putting on the "iron body pose".

Boom.

The huge black shadow approached in an instant, and slammed into Thales' arms!

His whole body flew out.

Thales felt a sharp shock in his arm first, followed by the pain of friction between his back and the ground.

And the protest of bones and muscles all over the body.

It seemed like the whole person was going to fall apart.

no no……

In the turmoil of the sin of Hell River, Thales gritted his teeth and endured the pain, trying to open his eyes.

But that's not all.

A huge black shadow immediately enveloped Thales' whole body: firmly restraining his legs, holding down his shoulders, and pressing a huge weight on his chest, making the boy unable to move and breathing hard.

The assailant pressed forward in a demonstration, leaning close to his cheek, and Thales could even feel the heavy, violent, hot and rapid breathing of the other party.

No.

Thales struggled hard.

He swore that no matter how inconvenient, suspicious, or inappropriate it was, he would always take JC or the alerter with him.

Never be unarmed and slaughtered.

The attacker poked his head under Thales' neck and took a few deep breaths, each time getting longer, as if he was gradually intoxicated.

Raphael's exasperated voice came at this moment:

"No! Edward—"

At this moment, Thales suddenly felt his cheeks heat up.

Under the neck, a wet and sticky soft material covered it.

Chin, cheekbones, cheekbones, from bottom to top, slowly swept across his profile.

Hot, warm, soft.

And some... fishy smell?

Thales was taken aback.

The other party left his cheek, leaving behind a sticky liquid.

Blown by the wind, it is refreshing.

Um?

Before he could react, the black shadow approached again with rapid and fiery breathing.

Another warm and humid feeling covered Thales' mouth, nose, forehead, and auricles...

again and again.

Make him blindfolded.

The other party was breathing heavily and wheezing. The tip of his nose and lips brushed Thales' skin countless times, and they were pressed against him closely, looking quite excited.

Thales was stunned, and even the crime of Hell River was silently resolved.

What's this?

"Edward... this is Prince Thales, he is not a threat!"

Finally, the skeleton man's arm appeared on the attacker's neck, trying to detach him from Thales' body.

Amidst the dissatisfied protests from the attackers, Thales' chest loosened. He finally gained some space and raised his head.

The prince froze immediately.

What was pressing on him was a big black dog.

"Wow!"

At this moment, Raphael was pulling the fierce dog by the neck, dragging it back desperately, and was in a panic in the wrestling.

Thales recognized its breed.

It's an angry wolf dog.

This breed of dog known for its fierceness has always been a good helper for the nobles of the Star Kingdom on hunting outings. Even a long time ago, Morris, the boss of the fraternity—the boss of Quaid and Rick—had a majestic angry wolf dog, and once met Thales unexpectedly in the back alley of the Sunset Bar, I also like to "play" with him, um, the kind of "play" that is not very friendly.

The big dog in front of him also has similar characteristics: whether it is sharp fangs or a fierce face.

Except for one thing.

It also……

It's too big.

Thales stared blankly at the wrestling in front of him:

Although Raphael is slender, he is not short.

But even with his size, it is very difficult to contain this big dog, just like a child struggling to reach out, trying to hug an old tree that is two or three times thicker than him.

At this moment, this big, vicious-looking dog was looking at Thales on the ground with great interest, breathing hotly, and licking his tongue to suck a mouthful of saliva from time to time.

"Sabo!"

Raphael, who couldn't see it, looked into the distance and shouted angrily:

"Pull it up!"

A gloomy and lazy voice sounded at the right time, from far to near:

"Come here, please be safe."

A right hand with only three fingers appeared in front of Thales, grabbed the big dog's collar, and exerted force very skillfully.

Finally, Thales loosened his body, feeling as if someone had lifted the three layers of quilt covering him—it was still summer.

The big dog was ripped away from his body, barking deafeningly with dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, Lord Raphael, Edward is walking around, I didn't pay attention for a while..." The lazy voice apologized without sincerity while coping with the big dog's protest.

Thales grabbed Raphael's hand, feeling the numbness all over his body, and struggled to get up.

"Damn... what is this?"

Thales patted the dust all over his body in shock, and pulled up his sleeves to wipe the wet saliva on his face.

Raphael coughed awkwardly.

"Your Highness, I believe you have seen Edward, he is one of our... guards."

The skeleton man waved his hand at the big dog in front of him, and his exaggerated movements caused it to growl angrily:

"Wow! Wow!"

Grinding his teeth, his eyes were fierce.

But when it subconsciously wanted to step forward with a fierce look on its face, the right hand with only three fingers left reached out in time to stop Edward's movements:

"You know, guard...Edward doesn't like being introduced like this. He thinks this is his place and he is the master."

Raphael snorted lightly:

"Is it."

The person holding the big dog—a haggard middle-aged man who looked like he didn't sleep well at night, with dark circles under his eyes, ignored Edward's threatening barking, and bowed to Thales:

"Duke Xinghu, I have long admired your name."

Raphael looked at the angry wolf dog vigilantly, and introduced:

"This is Sabo, the best tracker in the Kingdom's Secret Division."

Sabo shrugged:

"And janitor, and dog walker."

The big dog next to him was dissatisfied again:

"Wow! Wow!"

"Okay, my fault," Sabo comforted Edward:

"I mean I'm the janitor, and the one who shovels your shit..."

Hand trackers, janitors, dog walkers...

Thales, who had dealt with the unknown liquid on his face, nodded awkwardly, and saluted Sabo, but his eyes could not stop drifting to Edward beside him.

The watchdog of the secret department...

Looking at the opponent's forelimbs that were as thick as his own thighs, with four paws touching the ground but reaching the height of ordinary people's shoulders, and the impact of the heavy cavalry charge just now, Thales swallowed his throat with lingering fear.

This is too big!

Foul!

As soon as he noticed Thales looking at it, the exaggeratedly large black angry wolf dog instantly lowered the volume of its growling.

"Aww~"

The big dog Edward retracted his sharp teeth, exposed his tongue, opened his lower jaw in a big arc, and swung his tail freely from side to side.

"Obviously, he likes you, Your Highness."

Sabo frowned, speaking in a gloomy tone.

I saw Edward gasping frighteningly, unable to cover up the dripping of his saliva, and looking at Thales with sparkling eyes.

Happy is written all over his face.

Full of energy.

Thales quickly lowered his head to avoid eye contact, and tidied up his messy clothes in embarrassment:

"Yeah, I can see it."

Sabo held the neck ring with one hand, scratched Edward's back strenuously with the other hand, to appease its restlessness that could not pounce forward:

"It's been a long time since he pounced on anyone. The last time was a long time ago..."

Raphael cleared his throat, and gave Sabo a warning look:

"I'll answer the door and keep an eye on your dog."

Sabo tilted his head indifferently, and Edward bared his teeth again.

"Wow!"

"You misunderstood, Raphael didn't talk about you, but me, take care of me..."

The bone man took a step forward and walked towards the double-opening iron gate.

Sabo looked at Raphael's back, and then at the big dog who kept moving forward and was obviously interested in Thales:

"Tsk tsk, Lord Hansen must be very upset..."

Thales suppressed his fear of Edward:

"Why?"

"Don't you know?"

Sabo produced a length of chain ("Who the hell puts a dog on a steel chain!" - the Prince's later complaint) and fastened Edward's collar.

He took a step closer to Thales (the prince took a step back subconsciously), and said in a low voice:

"There are rumors in the secret department that Lord Hansen's leg was bitten off by a terrifying vicious dog."

ah?

Black Prophet's legs?

Thales pricked up his ears.

"But there's been a lot of debate about which dog it was, and there's even a gamble."

"But, tsk tsk, let me tell you," Sabo winked at the big dog beside him, expressing his intentions:

"Do you get me?"

The frighteningly big angry wolf dog barked excitedly, showing undiminished enthusiasm for Thales.

Thales took a step back and nodded stiffly.

In the distance, Raphael approached the double-opening iron gates, pulled up his sleeves, and waved his fingers in the void.

What's even more strange is that as his fingers danced, the air in front of the iron gate rippled little by little, like sparkling water.

Thales frowned:

"What is he doing?"

"Magic pattern," Sabo looked at the prince, then at Edward, and replied casually: "The trick of the Soul Tower, on the corresponding blocking circle, only the matching pattern will be released. In contrast I prefer the alchemy tower, they are all classical and like to use keys."

Thales' heart skipped a beat.

"But I remember that magic is forbidden?"

Sabo shook his head:

"Forget."

Thales looked up in doubt:

"What?"

Sabo tugged at the chain on Edward's body, and pawed at it again, preventing the big dog from slipping out of the clamp to get close to Thales:

"Magic is forgotten, not forbidden."

Thales' expression changed:

"Forgotten and banned, is there a difference?"

Sabo shrugged:

"In practical terms, no."

"But from the perspective of motivation and purpose..."

at this moment.

"Sabo," came Raphael's voice, seemingly dissatisfied, "enough."

At some point, the bone man turned around, and the iron gate opened a gap behind him.

Sabo smacked his mouth and waved his hands indifferently:

"All right……"

But before he finished speaking, the field suddenly changed!

I saw the big dog Edward suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the iron gate!

Thales was taken aback.

Maybe it was unprepared, maybe it was too late to let go, the equally shocked Sabo was torn down by the chain and dragged by Edward towards the iron gate.

In the next second, the huge Edward slammed into Raphael in front of the iron gate aggressively!

boom.

The skeleton man was mercilessly knocked into the air, and fell to the side, moaning.

Sabo was thrown off by the chain and rolled several times on the ground, also humming.

Thales looked at everything in front of him in surprise: two men were brought down by a dog.

"Are... are you all right?"

I'll just say it.

This dog is too big!

But what happened next was even more unexpected.

In front of the stunned Thales, the huge black angry wolf dog dragged an empty dog ​​leash, happily smashed open the iron gate on one side, then ran back eagerly, and awkwardly opened the other door.

After doing this, it happily turned around and looked at Thales.

The prince felt a chill in his heart.

"Wait, hey, what, good dog, Edward, right... Well, I don't actually know them... If you have a grudge against them..."

But the next moment, Edward roared, took a step, and rushed towards the boy!

"No, no, no, no! You don't want to come here——"

The shadowy prince was frightened back five or six steps, and finally turned around and ran away, disregarding the dignity of the royal family!

But it doesn't matter that Edward is huge, his speed is equally astonishing.

Thales didn't take a few steps when the big dog passed by his side and jumped in front of him!

Fuck!

Thales subconsciously raised his arms in a gesture of resistance.

But fortunately, Edward didn't rush at people recklessly this time.

It nimbly stopped not far in front of Thales, and first whimpered obediently twice, as if reminding him of something.

Um?

Thales lowered his arms in doubt.

I saw the big dog approaching cautiously with small steps.

This time, looking at its cute eyes, Thales found that the sin of Hell River in his body didn't respond at all.

Edward sticks out his tongue, wagging his tail, and his huge body like a hill turns around twice in place.

"Wow! Wow!"

It barked twice towards the open door, its eyes were cute, and its sound was flattering.

Sensing the other party's kindness, Thales looked at the gate in the distance, lowered his arm in doubt, and pointed to himself:

"I?"

The big dog who got the response was even more excited.

This time, it shook its tail, barked once at Thales, and then barked twice at the iron gate:

"Wow! Wow!"

Facing the expectant eyes of the other party, Thales looked at the blocked path and the two figures in the distance who didn't know whether to live or die on the ground, and forced himself to smile:

"You mean, door?"

"Wow!"

The big dog jumped up to the (earth-colored) prince cheerfully, circled Thales twice, arched his back and pushed him forward.

"Okay, okay, I'll go..." Thales walked forward in a state of confusion.

Edward walked beside him, licking the back of his hand affectionately from time to time, and rubbing against the boy's arm.

Until they came to the iron gate.

"Oh." Standing in front of the iron gate, Thales understood, a little enlightened, and a little relaxed:

"You mean..."

"You opened the door for me on purpose?"

"Woof!" Edward cried even more cheerfully.

"Okay, good dog," Thales endured his uneasiness, reached out his hand tentatively, and scratched its furry head strangely:

"Thank you, thank you?"

Edward stuck out his tongue and turned his head with a contented expression.

Clearly enjoying it.

On the other side, Raphael got up cursingly, while beating the dust all over his body, he looked angrily at Sabo who was also tidying himself up.

"Well, we all know that Edward is very smart," Sabo said grimly, reaching out to grab the chain of the big dog, taking over Thales's action of scratching the dog:

"But this is the first time."

Edward growled dissatisfiedly at him, his voice threatening.

"We'd better go in quickly," Raphael looked at the big dog vigilantly, with an unhappy expression on his face:

"It looks like it's getting more than enough."

So Thales turned his head for the last time and waved to Edward awkwardly.

The angry wolf dog roared excitedly in response, and wanted to move forward again, but was pulled back by Sabo.

With a click, the iron door closed.

Shut Sabo, who was also unhappy, and the giant angry wolf dog who was looking at Thales reluctantly, both of them shut the door.

"Sabo," Raphael looked at the big dog suspiciously through the iron gate:

"The Duke of Xinghu is traveling in private, do you understand?"

"Understood, I'll tell them," Sabo shook his head indifferently:

"An innocent and cute little deer strayed into Edward's territory by mistake."

The big dog on one side howled angrily.

"Okay, okay! I know!"

Sabo scratched Edward's neck with a headache:

"I'll just say a big wolf, wolf, okay? No harm to your reputation...I swear, the other dogs will admire it..."

Listening to the quarrel between a person and a dog getting farther and farther behind, Thales felt lingering fear.

"So, Sabo, he can talk to dogs?"

The skeleton man laughed:

"He thinks he can."

"What's the meaning?"

"At least Lord Hansen said that Sabo himself has believed so for decades," Raphael shook his head indifferently: "As for whether it is true..."

"Only the dog knows that."

Thales smiled,

He grabbed his neckline and sniffed where Edward's teeth had been.

The prince immediately frowned.

He won't admit it.

That's fresh...

The smell of blood.

"So old man, when was the last time you threw yourself on someone like this, besides eating?"

Outside the iron gate, Sabo took out an old notebook, and opened the cover with the words "Don't be eaten!" crookedly written on it.

While listening to Edward's roar, he recorded something enthusiastically:

"What?"

"Smell, you say? Same taste? Dog? Another dog?"

Sabo's eyes widened.

"What, big dog? His family's big dog? A powerful dog? A big dog? A dog that gave birth to a dog? A dog that makes all dogs afraid?"

Sabo suddenly woke up.

"Big dog, his big dog, the big dog who gave birth to a dog... Oh, I see..."

He put down his pen, touched Edward's head, and looked at the back of Thales in the iron gate.

"What you want to say is—"

The angry wolf dog stared at Sabo's palm, licked his teeth full of saliva, and let out a low growl of warning.

"His mother?"

The angry wolf dog's eyes turned cold.

In the next second, the ferocious big dog twitched its muscles and looked up!

clatter!

The sound of teeth gnashing exploded in the air.

At the critical moment, Sabo withdrew his palm skillfully and swiftly.

"So that's the case, okay, so bullying..."

Sabo showed no fear, he held up his right hand with only three fingers, and smiled at the angry wolf dog with a fierce face: "Let me tell you, his mother may not be human..."

"But you're a real dog!"

Edward snorted dissatisfied.

Afterwards, it turned its head away in disdain, flicked its tail and pawed, and went back for a walk in high spirits.
