Chapter 58: Surprise

At sunset, the dinner kicked off with a speech by Baron Sistine.
The 36-year-old newcomer has enough pleasing capital: a tall posture, thin but powerful muscles, a sculptural face that can bloom at any time with a vibrant smile, and the deep eyes , Full of magnetic bass, and very rare aqua-blue hair that is enough to fascinate most Austronesian women-for the believers in Poseidon, this can almost be regarded as a sign of a saint's presence.
In the dying golden afterglow, the high-spirited candidate, wearing a silver jewel robe with a sect emblem, stood upright on the high platform, with a perfect smile as usual, and gracefully bowed: "Ladies, Gentlemen... On this wonderful evening, we meet again to commend the gift of our Lord Natini! Thank you to our esteemed Lord Krono, and the beautiful countess Lianna..."
"On this special day, we won the primary election. There is no doubt about it. I have never had the slightest confusion about it. Times have changed. Those old-fashioned nobles can no longer lead our people. We need to create a new mind and a new body to implement our will, to spread the glory of our Lord, and to welcome the ultimate glory!"
"Today, it's just a trivial start. We must also unite and integrate all our hearts, all strengths, and all quiet good wishes here! With the support of these countless wills, we will surely be invincible, Win the final victory in this election! May the goddess bless me and wait! May the goddess bless the world!"
"Goddess!" Applause broke out from the podium, and the baron saluted again amidst praise. Following the earl's guidance, he came to the table and shook hands and talked cordially with several guests who had not met before, and greeted each other.
The prince still took him as far as possible to stay in the remote corner of the outermost periphery. He didn't have the slightest affection for the noble bureaucrat with a smirk, and he didn't bother to lift his eyelids at him. However, his skirt armor was the only one among all the ladies in the court, and it was quickly noticed by the Baron, and walked towards him slowly with a little interest.
"This is Miss Wen from Takiguo...This is Your Excellency Baron Myron Sistine." The host gave a brief introduction to the two strangers, and stood to the side without saying a word.
"Hello, beautiful lady, I am glad to meet you here..." The Baron Ping reached out his hand to make a kiss, but the other party just touched his chest and bowed his head slightly, giving him a samurai etiquette. A little embarrassed, he chuckled and stroked the tip of his nose smoothly before continuing to flatter familiarly, "I have always been longing for the long-standing culture of Takiguo, but unfortunately I didn’t have the chance to go to the capital for a busy business. But today I met you. I made up my mind, I must go to the capital to see what kind of magical country can be nurtured, your fairy-like peerless beauty."
"You're sorry..." Shun replied in that neutral voice perfunctorily, still coldly unmoved.
Baron Sistine had already gotten out of his thick skin in this kind of social field, so naturally he didn't think he was disgusted, so he broke the topic and said, "Oh, right, when it comes to the capital, there is a strange thing these days. , It is rumored that the emperor who disappeared in your country 8 years ago was found. It is said that the woman who was once called the ominous daughter caused a lot of trouble back then...
"What!?" Hearing this news unpreparedly, it was like a thunder that knocked Shun away by half. He interrupted the other party’s chat with an uncontrollable scream, and also attracted the attention of everyone around him. Fortunately, with the help of illusion, he did not let the two great nobles who are good at observing words and colors in front of him can see any clues from his stiff expression. .
"...Miss Wen, are you okay?" The baron was also taken aback by this sudden scream. I don't know why a chatty remark would make the other party so panicky, but he still asked in a gentle and considerate voice. , And stretched out his hand forward as if to hold her.
The prince stood still on the spot, completely unaware of his questioning, his eyes were out of focus, and nothing was left. The distance to his side was also unbelievable to the news. He saw the thief's hand that was suddenly stretched out, frowned in front of Shun, and calmly asked: "Your Excellency, is this news accurate? Excuse me. Where did you hear it?"
Sistine was very unhappy when he saw the boy who looked like a guard came forward to ask questions regardless of his identity. However, he still held a decent smile and withdrew his hand. As if caressed a few times on the sapphire chest button, he seemed to shirk responsibility. Gu left and right said: "About this...I also heard from the ears, but I don't know much...If you want to know the details, you might as well go to major newspapers to ask about the news, and you will surely find out."
After he said that, he looked at the mysterious female warrior of the East. The other person's still rigid expression made him feel like cold water was poured into his heart, and he was no longer interested in asking more. He and the earl glanced at each other, and after receiving the approved look, he said hello politely and walked to the next visitor.
After seeing the two people walking away from the back, the gun guard cautiously patted Shun from shock. The prince shivered reflexively, and he held the square table and gritted his teeth. This unbelievable news made him messed up. How could the younger sister who has been living in seclusion in the study room be discovered? Eight years have passed, how can she be easily recognized?
The rumor must be somewhere! It's definitely a rumor! He stubbornly insisted on his own judgment, and with the sharp gaze hidden behind the illusion, he scanned the noisy banquet hall intertwined with each other, as if everyone might be the maker of this rumor and the enemy in his heart. When I find out who is spreading the rumors...huh! He didn’t have the mind to take care of other things at the moment. Without saying anything, he grabbed his hand as far as he could, and without waiting for the other party’s words to persuade him, he ran a few steps into the forest under the shade of the trees, and disappeared in a flash. In the slowly falling night.
There is a small newspaper office not far from the earl’s mansion. The closed door is full of colorful neon lights, blinking and beating in the night, shining on the two quietly standing at the entrance of the street, like a random smear. The vulgar oil paint.
This pulsating colored light illuminates Shun's face with uncertainties. He looked at the weekly magazine he had just snuck out of the newspaper in his hand, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, so cold that even the exhaled air was chilly. The newspaper was not thick, only a few pages, and printed a color photo of a luxury cruise ship on the front page with the words "Mrs. Lovina arrived in Baiyungang this morning, and the official performance time will be announced soon!" It is a long and beautiful word.
However, the prince’s attention was not on the blockbuster news that took up almost the entire page. He stared at the small, petite-like newsletter at the bottom of the newspaper, and read back and forth word by word: "From this newspaper, in the capital of Takiguni. There have been a large number of rumors that the evil girl who mysteriously disappeared eight years ago reappeared, causing a certain degree of panic. The royal family has not issued an official announcement about this. According to relevant sources, this rumor is not groundless. How did the evil girl disappear? Why did it appear again? All the evidence points to the mysterious high priest who once presided over the apocalypse ceremony. I wonder if this high priest will reappear before the world to explain? How will the follow-up situation develop? This newspaper will continue to pay attention... …"
These slightly vaguely printed words hardly said any useful information, but just the two words of the enchantress made the prince’s eyelids throbbing with pain, clenching his teeth, but the corners of his mouth still couldn’t stop. The place of residence twitched slightly.
Demon girl! The last time this word appeared in front of him, it was in the chaos eight years ago...At that time, he had little room for resistance to what happened. After trying his best to send his sister out of the palace, he was full of heart. I thought that she could safely avoid this storm, but I didn't expect...
"His Royal Highness..." He whispered as far as he could. The Gun Guardian also sank his face, carefully glanced at the crowd that was gradually gathering on the street, and blocked him and reminded him, "This is not Long staying place..."
Don't stay long... That's right! No more time wasting, you must go back quickly! The prince squeezed the newspaper hard, grabbed his hand as far as he could, opened the phantom cover, and ran into the alley, turning a few crossroads surrounded by colorful lights, and the two were deep in a dark stone alley. Stopped.
After inspecting the left and right sides of the small road as far as possible, after confirming that it was safe, he clenched the telescopic spear stick at his waist and stood slowly beside Shun. Neither of them made any more sounds. In the darkness, only the two pairs of bright eyes were clearly visible, one as sharp as electricity, and the other as deep as the sea, but both faintly carried an unstoppable flame.
After being silent for a while, the prince asked in a low voice with a manic anger: "...What time is the airship flight returning home recently?"
"It should be around 10 o'clock tomorrow morning... the route to Beijing has always been a popular choice, and I am afraid that the remaining tickets are already sold out..." Gun Guard replied without thinking.
"Then don't buy it..." Shun is a illusionist, and of course he is very familiar with how to avoid tickets, and he doesn't care at all. He was in extreme shock just now, and all he thought about was how to return to Beijing and how to protect his sister. Now that he calmed down, he began to worry about the task of this exploration.
Seeing that he could make a breakthrough, he had to give up because of this sudden incident, which made him somewhat unwilling. But things are of urgency, not to mention that this huge earl's mansion will not run away on its own, as long as the situation in the capital is stabilized, it will not be too late to come back and investigate...
The prince was thinking secretly, as if he could read his heart as far as he could, and suddenly he said: "Why not let me stay and continue to inquire..."
Let you stay? Shun turned his head in surprise and looked at those green eyes that were so quiet that they hadn't changed. He always felt a little helplessness in them. That's right... He gave his order to save Miyou out of the palace. Although there is no evidence left on the surface, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be caught by someone at the cusp of the storm, and add more tongue...
He didn't know what was going on in the capital at the moment. He hesitated for a while, and then listened to the other side's whisper: "It won't be helpful to go back to the capital in my capacity. Maybe it will cause gossip. It's better to wait here. God... According to the Protestant elder just now, the target will appear soon. I want to confirm the validity of the intelligence first, and then make a decision when you come back."
Hearing what he said, it was a good arrangement, but leaving his companion alone on this strange and dangerous South Island, how can he let Shun be relieved? He lowered his head and groaned for a long time, and suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, he grabbed his hand as far as he could and rushed to the distance.
The two of them clung to the wall all the way to the east, avoiding several heavily guarded mansions, turning from the small road to the edge of the central area, and they saw a pavilion manor with oriental charm in front of them. The ebony flying arches with wind lanterns look decent, and the water pavilion platform is quite satisfactory, but it is a pity that the ubiquitous gold carvings and painted porcelain paintings have ruined the quaint and quiet atmosphere for no reason.
"It's not..." The Gun Guard frowned and looked at the vulgar golden arch in front. As soon as he said three words, he saw a window suddenly opened on the main building like a brick-wood castle.
Master Lonnie was wrapped around a loose bath towel and a soft cloth head, his face was blushing misty, as if he had just finished bathing. He sniffed suspiciously and sniffed a few times in the wind. In a blink of an eye, he immediately saw the goddess standing in front of the door, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and screamed and hurried back to the room to change his clothes.
"Miss Wen! Please wait a moment! Wait a moment! I'm really sorry! What a rude!" A shrill roar came from the room. Someone who didn't know thought he had encountered a dangerous emergency. Event.
The prince stood calmly and motionless, and he had already taken it off for the bad habit of the rich man who liked to yell when he was fine. He looked at the colorful street lights that lit up in and out of the courtyard for an instant, and at the tight-fitting dress and robe, running in three steps and two steps, for fear that he was running away, Master Lonnie, with a meaningful smile on his mouth. .
Lonnie West, after being bored by your kid for so long, it's time to charge some interest...
