Song of Time – Dusk Awakening Verse

Visits and visits

The Protestant churches have countless church temples inside and outside the Star City. The big ones are like playgrounds, and the small ones are in the backyard of their homes. They can only sit two or three people. But no matter which church it is, there is no simple garden building in the southern suburbs that the believers are yearning for-it is one of the three elders of the sect, the place of practice for Your Excellency Fryer.

Speaking of this elder who has always maintained a mysterious atmosphere, the believers know very little, almost all hearsay, but it is enough to see the legend of this lord: It is said that Elder Fryer once persuaded everyone to believe in the goddess. Before a tsunami came, he bowed down and prayed all night, and finally moved the gods to lower their well-being, and separated the sea to avoid most of the people. Only those ignorant who dared to laugh at him rushed into his house, which was a whim.

Elder Fryer played a decisive role in the establishment of the Protestant sect. However, since the development of the sect has entered a period of stability, he has not been greedy for power. Instead, he has gradually faded out of people’s field of vision, retiring behind the scenes to concentrate on practicing, and behave selflessly. It is admirable. It is even more rumored that this lord because he lost his love in his early years, vowed not to marry forever, and put his whole heart in the palace of the goddess, which also made people sigh.

Fryer Manor always seems to be spotless: white wooden walls and white porcelain tiles, white small gravel roads with red fire-like bushes on both sides, like a bright oil painting still in time.

The scale of this small manor is shabby among the nobles. It is only about two acres in size, including a green grass courtyard, a small bridge pond, a small piece of blood birch forest, and a three-story maple building. In this bright sunny late autumn, the blood birch trees support the dense red cover, shaking up countless scattered light spots with the strong wind, but stubbornly not dropping a leaf, so the viewer can't help but wonder.

Velut was walking alone under the shade of this dense forest. He changed into a dark blue bachelor robe, holding the mission report that he had done last night, because he was always worried and worried, his brows were difficult to smooth, and he looked more like a meditator immersed in academic problems.

He had walked this road countless times, but every time he came, he almost couldn't find any debris. Just like his teacher, he couldn't tolerate any dirt in his eyes. Yesterday, he heard his father's seemingly non-existent reminder, and he felt puzzled again. Although he was still a little confused about this task, the teacher had no reason to hide the details from himself... He was tossed and awake all night and got nothing. He only felt that his heart was more depressed, so he went straight to the southern suburbs early in the morning, trying to find a teacher to sort out all the things before and after.

As soon as he turned the grove, he saw a tall figure in a white cloak sitting outside the white wooden building in front. The man turned his back to the small pond full of white lotus on the side of the building. He had long light golden hair loosely draped behind his head, and his left hand wearing a white cloth cover was placed on the small log table, with a glass of clear water next to him.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, the man suddenly chuckled: "I knew you would come." He turned slightly to look at Virut, his not very handsome face with a petting smile, accompanied by it. With a tall nose and broad sword eyebrows, there is a hint of gentleness in the heroic hair, and there is no frame of sect elders.

"Teacher." The silver-haired young man took a few steps forward, respectfully saluting, and sat opposite him under the guidance of the elder's gesture.

"How is it? Is the wound healed?" Moredia saw that his face was still pale, and with a wave of his hand, a small sealed medicine bottle flew out from the door of the building. He stretched out his hand to take it and put the bottle in front of Virut, and said without refusal: "Drink first. It was just made and delivered yesterday. You are a coincidence."

The silver-haired young man did not hesitate for a moment. He obediently drank the unknown medicine, only to feel that the bitterness of the medicine turned into a hot and warm stream as soon as it entered the abdomen, gradually rushing away his long-ill and impenetrable blood, and he couldn't help but feel relieved under comfort. Take a long breath.

"Thank you teacher." He closed the medicine bottle again and put it on the table. He waited silently for a while, but he didn't feel any side effects. He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

It should be some kind of the latest formula, this is really amazing... The medicine has never been related to him, and he didn't ask much, and put the document in front of the elder with a secret compliment: "Teacher, this is this. Please check the detailed report of this task."

Moredia lightly picked up the paperwork, looked through it a few times, and nodded his head aside. He didn't seem to care. He saw his student hesitated to speak because of this behavior, and said with a smile: "I know. If this matter is not clear, you must feel uncomfortable. Don't worry, I will introduce you to someone first..."

He turned his head and beckoned, and a figure with a black cloak slowly walked out of the small building. He stood in front of the two of them and raised his skinny hand like a tree branch to caress his chest, and laughed hoarsely: "Master Krono. ,long time no see."

"...Mr. Ku Rong?" Virut was a little surprised, and never thought that he would meet him here.

"Ku Rong was sent to the holy tower in my early years. This mission is also because he is in the capital, so I can safely send you there." The elder competed and let the spiritual monk sit down. He was humble and polite before sitting down slowly. Between the two, he hung his head and said nothing.

"That's it... I thought he was a doorman of the Jade King..." Virut fluttered in his mind because of the unexpected news, and Ku Rong was actually his undercover agent. No wonder he would be the connector of the two sides, and finally pointed himself. The prince was led to the ambush, it seems that the teacher's plan in the capital is far deeper than he thought...

"I know the whole process of this mission very well. The ship that took you back to the island was also specially arranged by Korong Spell. In short, I didn't have any plans to succeed. You should treat it as a trial... It seems that the result is pretty good now, and it can make you aware of some shortcomings, so that you can work hard to improve in the future." Moredia took the glass of clear water and took a sip, then gave Virut a pointed glance.

The silver-haired young man was caught off guard and learned the truth. He could not understand the teacher's unpredictable thoughts. After careful consideration, he tentatively asked: "What the teacher meant... I need to do one more step? "

The elder smiled and shook his head: "Your plan is not really a big problem. I mean, what you lack most right now is also the most important thing..." He stared at the students for a while, seeing He still frowned, and finally shook his head to reveal the answer: "It's supernatural power. Think about it, if you have a strong power, coupled with your intelligence, there are countless ways to restrain your team members, neither It is easily controlled by others in a critical moment."

Virut was momentarily dumb, with a bitter smile in his heart. Of course what the teacher said is reasonable. Who doesn't want a tyrannical skill? However, the divine power awakening is almost always completed in the childhood stage before the age of ten. He has long missed the best time. If there is no accident, it is difficult to have the opportunity to use the Sava stone in this life... But the teacher will never aimlessly. , Could it be that there has been progress on that matter?

A bit of astonishment flashed in his pupils, and he was immediately caught by Moredia, who was watching him, and nodded approvingly: "The pharmacy has recently made a big breakthrough, I believe it will not be long before...we can get the real, A divine inducer with no side effects, I hope you can become its owner when that time comes..."

The divine inducer is really done! ? This shocking news was lightly spoken by the teacher, and it really made Virut feel strange and strange. If a mortal can become a possessor of divine power with just a bottle of potion, one can imagine what a huge impact it will have, and the whole world will probably be turned upside down. Then the teacher who created this medicine must be respected as the Son of God and the Holy Spirit...

It’s just that, although he has never seen the experiment of inducing medicine, he can roughly guess the gossip of others. To tell the truth, it’s really shameful... He has given this kind of innocent life in exchange for something, He was very reluctant in his heart, hesitating to answer.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time again, the elder sighed in his heart, but did not persecute, he still happily ordered: "You will take a rest at home these few days. There will be a candidate thank you dinner in Baigang on Friday, and you will come together. Right, I will call someone to notify you of the specific matters."

Seeing that he was holding up the water glass again, as if to see him off, Virut hurriedly asked: "Teacher, other players..."

"There will be no punishment, don't worry." Moredia interrupted him with a smile, "It's just that you always have to behave on the face. They have been transferred to another place. You will not see it for the time being."

"I see." Velut breathed a sigh of relief, and the boulder in his heart was half gone, and finally there was no need to bear the guilt for the idiot. "There is also something about the Prince Takiguni..."

"I will arrange it for you, don't worry."

"I understand..." Seeing that the teacher seemed reluctant to elaborate, he didn't ask any more. He got up to say goodbye. The elder sent to the Red Leaf Forest all the way to show his closeness. He saw the dark blue figure disappear, and his eyes gradually rose. The haze.

The assassination task he specially arranged was of course not just as simple as a trial. Although other goals were achieved as expected, only this kid, after a life and death encounter, still had considerable resistance to the inducing potion, which caused him a real headache.

Ku Rong sat in a dull voice for a long time. At this moment, watching Moredia’s long hair flying back against the strong wind, he habitually laughed a few times, breaking the slightly solemn atmosphere: "Your Excellency, when do you plan to send me back to the capital? ?"

"...You don't have to go." The elder was displeased by him for no reason, and without turning his head, he ordered, "You stay here and help me figure out how to deal with'her'..." He said with his expression again. It's a slight change, leaking out the sentimentality of missing the old man.

"Your Excellency, we have worked hard to make the Jade King the way it is now. If the effect is interrupted, wouldn't it be a waste of all our previous efforts?" Ku Rong seemed unwilling to stay here, and said his reason dumbly.

"This special potion is more volatile. As long as he wants his son to win the Apocalypse ceremony next year, he will never break this shortcut. Don't worry about it for the time being." Moredia thought of the pretentious. The King of Thunder, sneered in his heart, these hypocritical Chosen people just look down on alchemy too much, they will be attacked unsuspectingly.

"Okay, as you wish." The spiritual monk couldn't get rid of it, so he could only answer it, and turned and walked into the small building.

The elder sat back at the wooden table alone, still facing the pond, and tapped on the paper a few times, still feeling a little disappointed. He is a smart student, but he is very smart, but his heart is too soft to be completely rational, so he has a lot of concerns. How can a woman's benevolence be a person who does great things? He secretly shook his head, and then figured out how to cut off this thing that shouldn't exist.

I'm not sure, but in the end he will have to fall on that kid... His shallow blond hair was blowing into a satin-like luster in the wind, but his heart was as black as ink. Although the power of shadows is rare, now the organization forces no longer need to hide their heads and show their tails. That kid is naturally reluctant to be disciplined, which is really tasteless... But as a sharpening stone, maybe...

The smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more gentle, he took the glass of water and drank it, and then with a wave, he attracted a ball of water from the small building, and it fell into the glass without leaning, and swayed slightly in the sun.的波光.

After bidding farewell to the teacher, Virut still took the off-white locomotive and set off on his return journey. After this visit, he finally wanted to understand several doubts before and after the task. Although the teacher did not hold him accountable, the failure of the task is a reality that is hard to erase after all. No matter how many accidental or inevitable factors there are, for him, it is still far from the time to relax. He leaned against the glass window and stared at the various buildings passing by the avenue. He reorganized the context of the mission. He felt something to gain, and he was immediately disrupted by the accident that followed.

As soon as the locomotive got off the main road, he saw a row of guards in blue uniforms lined up outside the gate of the manor, and many large and small locomotives filled the surrounding aisles, and his brows suddenly wrinkled. Tara people? Was it from the embassy, ​​or... thinking of the possibility, he couldn't help but squinted slightly, and carefully looked at the serious sergeants through the glass window. The ambassador of Takigoku, who is deeply rooted in the simple, has no friendship with himself, and it is impossible to visit without notice. Looking at the crowded caravan outside, I am afraid that the unwilling prince has found it.

Where did the loophole go... He was a little surprised that the tracker was so dignified to reveal his identity, but after thinking about it, he consciously did not leave any handles that he could grasp on the surface, let alone this is in the South Island. He didn't believe that the other party dared to attack in public, so Shi Shiran stopped the car, and under the gaze of these strangers, he gathered his robe and walked inward slowly.

The courtyard was even more noisy and crowded with people. The nobles in all kinds of gorgeous dresses crowded together without grace, sometimes laughing out loud, and sometimes agreeing with a few words. Obviously, in the center of the crowd, there is definitely an object that makes them have to put down their posture and fawn hard.

Seeing this scene, he felt better, and just walked a few times on the neat stone brick road, he was caught by the lower status squeezed in the outer circle: "Oh, I'm talking about him, this I'm back. Come, Velut, come and see your Highness!"

The man was obviously not familiar with Crono's family, but how could he give up this great opportunity to squeeze into the center, trot over affectionately, and pulled his arm in. Virut naturally pushed the boat along, and put on a slightly shy smile and apologized: "Which Highness is it? I'm really sorry, I just came back from the academy and I didn't expect that there would be a guest to visit, which is really rude.

The two walked forward quickly, and the crowd opened a mouthful. He glanced at the prince in gold and black robe beside the marble round table in the center. He smiled and stared at him, his eyes seemed profound. Measurement. Behind him stood two figures wearing black cloaks, with a golden phoenix emblem painted on the front of the chest. The wood-like pestle stood motionless there. It seemed that they should be the inspectors specializing in foreign affairs in Santali.

Countess Lianna was sitting next to the prince, with a dignified and elegant smile on her face, not showing any timidity, not at all like the fake smiles outside. She didn't expect such a big person to visit today. Although the opportunity was rare, she couldn't take care of asking someone to find her son for a while. She could only accompany the reception first. Unexpectedly, she finally waited for him to come back!

"Villi, come and see His Royal Highness." She was excited in her heart, but she still held a gesture on her face and nodded to her son with restraint.

"I have seen His Royal Highness." Velut pretended to behave in a respectful manner, and looked up at this no stranger, but his eyes were full of excitement of meeting for the first time.

"...Okay, really a young talent." Shun silently stared at him for a few seconds before nodding and talking about the scene, "I heard that you have just gone home from a long distance, so we can meet this time... 'Coincidentally'." He deliberately focused on the two words, staring at the bright red pupils, trying to find a little panic or dodge.

But how could Velut be bluffed by this little trick, and his smiling face was even more cheerful, and he sighed in agreement: "Yes, I didn't expect to be able to see the true face of His Highness by such a coincidence. It's a great honor to be blessed by the goddess. ."

"Goddess Bless!" The nobles from the periphery hurriedly responded, praising them for a while.

Shun saw that there were no flaws in his expression, and he seemed to be an ordinary noble child, and he turned his head and glanced at the black monk behind him. One of them immediately trembled in his sleeves, and after a wave of invisible fluctuations, he slowly shook his head.

Not a power person...This is also true... He looked at that seemingly innocent face, and he always felt familiar with how he looked at it, and he sneered in his heart: What a pretentious means. He thought he would come by unexpectedly and would always be caught off guard, but he didn't expect that this kid would really act in a show, not showing up.

Since returning to the embassy as far as possible, after weighing it over and over again, even if Ambassador Ye Xu persuades him, he intends to identify himself. Although it may seem reckless, it is indeed a good move. First, you can use this to frighten Xiao Xiao. The person behind the scenes would never have thought that he would do it. Perhaps it could disrupt the other party’s original deployment; second, after revealing his identity, he would have various reasons to come and go. No matter where you are, you don’t have to stick to invitations. What's more, these Austronesians are full of money, wealth and power, and they have a lot of contact with people of all kinds on weekdays. Now there is such a huge opportunity to climb in front of them. As long as they want to leak their breath, there may be some stupid person. Bring what you want...

With a good calculation in his heart, he didn't say much. He pretended to visit a few distant nobles in the morning, and he immediately went straight to the target place. Who would have thought that it was such a coincidence that the other party also left early in the morning. , Not at home at all. He could only wait patiently to be surrounded by the nobles who heard the wind, and the thoughts dragged on for a long time. At this moment, he finally waited for people, so he didn't want to stay any more. He reasoned that he wanted to visit the next house and he had to get up. Goodbye.

The nobles hurriedly escorted him to the door, each of them called their servants to drive over, and they were also going to follow them together-after all, the prince of the country is coming, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if he comes to the South Island in the future, it is not waiting for idlers Can meet it.

Shun walked to the pure black luxury locomotive by the side of the road, opened the side door and was about to enter, and then suddenly paused, turning around and smiling at Velut inexplicably: "I came here this time alone, and it is rare to meet someone of my age. If Mr. Krono doesn't dislike it, it's better to accompany the orphan to visit a few more, or get close to him."

Hearing this sudden invitation, the silver-haired boy raised his eyebrows with joy, and turned his head to look at his mother as if he didn't know whether to agree or not. The countess, wishing that the two could get closer, patted her son's hand quickly, and saw the long train speeding forward after seeing him in the car, her face showed a real smile.

It's a pity that my husband didn't catch up with this chance encounter. Otherwise, our family would have to add a little more good impression to that highness! She happily drew out the fan and shook it a few times, and suddenly remembered that today's love soup was still being stewed in the kitchen, she cried out badly, and ran towards the main building with her skirt.

As soon as he got in the car, Virut sat with a bit of restraint, quietly not speaking, unless the prince asked a question, he responded softly. With that academic gown, he looked like an introverted student who didn't like socializing.

Shun didn't want to reveal the truth at this moment, posing as an elder, and inquiring kindly: "The only time I saw Mr. Krono, we felt very congenial. We are also the same generation, so don't be nervous... I just heard that you went. The college, I thought I couldn’t touch it today, why are you so casual in South Island?"

Virut was a little bit shy, as if he was participating in a defense, he sorted out his clothes first, and explained in a straightforward manner: "His Royal Highness does not know anything. Our college adopts the free credit method. As long as you finish the fixed class, you can choose at will. Now it’s about to expire. Everyone has basically finished learning. I am ashamed to say that I have fallen a little bit because I went out the previous few times, so I still need to study courses regularly."

"So that's it, this rule is quite interesting... But I heard that the military academy is a semi-closed teaching and it is easy to not leave the school. Is there such a saying?"

"It is true in normal times, but there are often tasks such as military training, and I have to go to various places to participate in drills, and as a noble child, I will have some preferential treatment in terms of choice..." The silver-haired boy seemed not as embarrassed to say this in front of the prince. Lower your head so that you can't see your eyes.

"No wonder, Gu also often wants to travel everywhere, but there are so many things... After all, I can see you so... innocent, I don't think you will often participate in military training. The scorching sun in the South Island is well-deserved, Gu. Taking advantage of this early morning to go out, I still feel hot when the sun reaches the sun." Shun pretended to believe it and nodded, looking at the whiter face than the ordinary Austronesian, revealing a little loophole in a joke.

How could Velut not know the meaning of his words, but still smiled and replied: "It's true that our Crono family was not originally from the South Island, but migrated from the north, so the skin color looks paler. ."

He turned to see the prince still hesitating in his eyes, and put on a flattering smile, and eagerly recommended: "If your Royal Highness feels that the sun is too hot, you might as well apply some sunscreen fragrance before going out. There are many old brands in the South Island that have good results. ..."

He kept introducing makeup brands, as if he was a beauty lover who was good at maintenance, and inadvertently revealed some of the ambiguous tone that is common in the chats of noble children. Shun only half-closed his eyes and nodded with a smile. He seemed to have been moved by what he said, but there was still a cold light in his black pupils.

Until the car arrived at the next destination, Virut seemed to stop talking, lowered his eyebrows pleasingly as the prince got out of the car, and immediately fell into the siege of the nobles. He deliberately acted at a loss and wanted to take the opportunity to get into the crowd first, but Shun was backhand pulled to his side, holding his palm and walking forward.

"Mr. Krono looks thin and weak, but he is quite strong..." The prince greeted the surrounding with a perfect smile, and continued to inquire about Virut in a low voice.

"It was also trained for a long time, and it made your Highness a joke."

"Do you like to use...hand-gun?" Shun squeezed the callused tiger's mouth on his hand, seeming to ask unconsciously.

"Yeah, my arm strength is far from enough. The size of the hand-gun is just right. Heavier guns can't be used for a long time. I'm really ashamed..." Virut whispered, his face shy, but he didn't show any signs. panic.

Shun always stared at the young man beside him from his side, seeing that he was so round that he was not leaking, and wanted to ask again, the manor host opposite had already greeted him. He could only put himself in the royal posture, suppress the swelling impatience and start a ritual with the other party, but sneered in his heart:

Good you Virut, pretend to look good! It’s a long day to come, and there is only a chance, sooner or later, you will find your flaws! Let's wait and see...
