Chapter 18
The whole bedroom fell into silence in an instant, and after about a century, Kevin finally made sure that the young emperor was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.👎🏿
Although Osved has been a bear since he was a child, thanks to the old housekeeper Ian's obsessive-compulsive disorder, he is still very aristocratic young master in some aspects, such as "life can be given, but face must not be lost" - even if the heart is turbulent, the face has to live and die Hold tight, appearing to be calm and calm. If you really can't stand it anymore, you narrow your eyes slightly, and the momentum and force will come up all at once.👎🏿
It's a pity that this set is not very effective now, and he still couldn't control it in the end, and his eyes were a little big.👎🏿
It was rare for Kevin to see his ghost-like appearance, and he thought it was very interesting, so he couldn't help but owe a hand again, tapped Osved's chin with a dagger and said, "Scared? You're not full of courage, so respectful. His Majesty."👎🏿
Osved: "..."👎🏿
After another century, he finally regained his soul, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice with extreme restraint, "How could this be?"👎🏿
Kevin turned the dagger and raised his chin at him: "It's too late, don't squint, the momentum can't be saved, don't pretend to be mature and not lively when you are young."👎🏿
I don't want the lively Osved to be too lazy to answer Kevin's ridicule, and the topic is not taken away at all: "When did you find out that you have this ability?"👎🏿
Kevin: "Forget it, that's how it was born."👎🏿
"Born..." Osved murmured, his eyes just swept across the book of "God of God" that Ian was laying beside the bed, and a thought flashed: "Is it a throwback?"👎🏿
The Ona people are called "relics of the gods", and the reason is self-evident.👎🏿
This continent has experienced the age of the old gods with dazzling stars, and then experienced the age of post-gods after the destruction of the gods. After a hundred years of desolation, it gradually formed the current pattern. During this long period of time, Ouna, as the direct lineage of the legendary god, has changed very thoroughly and failed to inherit the slightest divine power.👎🏿
But people always have some delusions: maybe someday there will be a few atavists.👎🏿
This is a deep-rooted racial obsession, especially after being violently suppressed by the sand ghost and kneeling for hundreds of years, this obsession is even stronger, and it has been passed down from generation to generation in a subtle way.👎🏿
Osved's family environment was quite special when he was a child. There were no parents and elders talking in his ears. The only old housekeeper Ian who liked to talk to him liked to use "Book of Gods" as a requiem and eulogy, while he himself liked to describe the old gods. The "Divine Calendar" of the times was read as a bedtime story, and naturally this kind of obsession was not cultivated.👎🏿
But for Kevin's situation, there is no other more reasonable explanation other than "returning to the ancestors".👎🏿
"Ancestors?" Kevin was stunned for a moment before he reacted, shrugged and said, "Maybe."👎🏿
"You...any wound can heal like this?" Osved took a deep look at the smooth skin of his wrist. "Wouldn't that never die?"👎🏿
Kevin shook his head: "Almost, but not all. For now, as long as the nails don't go through the heart, they can heal."👎🏿
Osved frowned. "What if the nails go through the heart?"👎🏿
"Then, of course, kick your legs and die."👎🏿
"How do you know?" Osved asked strangely.👎🏿
"..." Kevin wanted to slap his mouth.👎🏿
"Since you've survived until now, it means that you haven't been nailed through your heart—" Osved's light-colored eyes stared at him again: "So how did you know this?"👎🏿
Kevin didn't think of how to answer him for a while, and was about to give a reason when there was a knock on the bedroom door. Ian's voice sounded outside: "Master, the food is here."👎🏿
The question was interrupted, and Osved said with an impatient "tsk", "Come in."👎🏿
Several female officials filed in with food, and also took a short table that could be placed on the bed.👎🏿
Osved signaled the female officer to set the food, and seriously threatened Kevin: "If you dare to leave a little bit of food on my bed, you will even get out with the quilt, wash it and come back."👎🏿
Kevin's hand holding the spoon paused: "Is this your bed?"👎🏿
Osved said angrily, "Why not?"👎🏿
"I've been lying there for three days and three nights, where do you sleep?" Kevin looked a little weird.👎🏿
"Sleep." Osved rubbed his brows and said, "I've been telling Mio and the others about the garrison in the northwest. Mankao is dead, even if Sapir is sick in bed, he can't be indifferent to this. Besides, there is something wrong with the sand ghost. How could they go back to avoid the rainy season with a silent help and sit and watch the benefits of North Emerald Country? Only ghosts believe it."👎🏿
What he said was what Kevin thought. Sand ghosts can't do unprofitable transactions, and they never talk about fair deals. They have a lot of previous records, so people have to guard against them. It's just that when the rainy season arrives, sand ghost's actions are greatly restricted, and all advantages will turn into disadvantages. Under such circumstances, what other means could they use to intrude on other races?👎🏿
Kevin didn't rest for long, he just shamelessly borrowed a nourishing meal, rolled his bed and rolled back to the Bronze Army base camp, and returned the big bed to Osved, who didn't get much rest.👎🏿
The Bronze Barracks was slightly deserted compared to previous years, and within two days of the rainy season, some people's vacation period had ended. Kevin learns from Osved that before he wakes up, Mio has returned to the desert frontier with a ten thousand defense force, lest the sand ghosts make a surprise attack.👎🏿
Also sent out was the Red Iron Army, one of the three major legions. They were stationed in the area of the Kelachang River according to Osved's orders, closely watching the movements of the North Emerald Country.👎🏿
Kevin's return has caused a lot of commotion. Although the three major legions have changed blood for so many years, the reputation of "the youngest legion commander with the most victories" is far and wide, and it is impossible to be forgotten so quickly.👎🏿
Of course he couldn't perform suicide by cutting his wrists in public, and he couldn't advertise himself as a unique plug-in. With Osved's acquiescence and supplementation, he moved out the nonsense that had fooled Mio before, trimmed and perfected it, blocked one by one, and quickly persuaded others other than Osved.👎🏿
Even the class who dug him out of the ground with his own hands was almost brainwashed.👎🏿
"So, you still don't know who rescued you from the coffin and moved you to Andorha?" Ben asked Kevin as he aimed his bow at the bullseye.👎🏿
"Yes, I don't know." Kevin was very sympathetic to the stupidity of the giant orc race, and slapped Ban's wrist at the same time: "Let's go a little, today is the southwest wind."👎🏿
Ban Hao said: "Don't tell me about such complicated things as south, east, and northwest, my brain will explode! I have been in this posture all morning, when will I be able to release arrows? Huh? Can you guys give me some credit? How about a while? I'm about to break my hand!"👎🏿
Kevin turned a deaf ear to his howling and turned to correct Angel's movements.👎🏿
Angel is the white rabbit boy disguised as an Eldar. He had planned to leave the Ugin Hanging Palace and settle in the town of St. Antis, as originally agreed. But on the morning of his departure, he met Osved's little niece.👎🏿
His Royal Highness Sinnia, who had just turned four years old, fell in love with Angel at a glance. He grabbed his clothes and made him pretend to be a ghost to dance in a big show.👎🏿
Although Osved wasn't happy, he couldn't stand Sinnia crying while hugging his thigh, so he had to let him stay by pinching his nose while asking someone to check Angel's background.👎🏿
In the rainy season, sunny days are hard to come by, and it is amazing to be able to last for half a day.👎🏿
The heavy rain that had just stopped in the early morning did not hold back in the afternoon, and fell again like a pour.👎🏿
"These bugs are really tireless, and they don't hide in such a heavy rain..." Kevin complained as he swept away the little flying insects that were about to fall on him. He ordered that archery endurance training be replaced by fighting on horseback in the rain, and hurried out of the camp gate and onto the ropeway.👎🏿
Ben stayed to train with the Bronze Army, and Angel was attached to him like a little tail - Kevin was going to the palace to find Osved, because Sinnia was calling.👎🏿
"Your Excellency is here? The young master is waiting for you in the study." Ian couldn't change his name, so he simply stopped struggling and kept calling. Osved didn't care about this at all, so he just let him go.👎🏿
"Okay, I'll go. My God, these bugs are all gathered in the corridor when it rains." Kevin frowned and waved a few times.👎🏿
A group of black bugs the size of sesame seeds were swept away by him, and after a few laps, they approached tirelessly again, which was extremely annoying.👎🏿
There are not so many such flying insects in the past. This year, it suddenly flooded for some reason, and it was almost a disaster.👎🏿
In the letters that Mio sends back every day, there are exaggerated complaints, such as "there are so many flying insects in the military tent that I can lift me up", "slept last night and killed a floor of insects casually" and so on. The Red Iron Army in the area of the Kara River is even worse, where the humidity is the heaviest, and there are only a lot of insects and ants.👎🏿
Although this little black worm flies silently, it is not as noisy as the hard-nosed mosquito, but it is also a master of biting. When bitten, it will cause a small rash, which is hot and itchy, very uncomfortable.👎🏿
"Yes, this is much more difficult to deal with than hard-mouthed mosquitoes. The repellents laid out two days ago have little effect on them." Ian replied, and then instructed the other waiters to sprinkle powder on the corner of the corridor, trying to make these Heck fewer bugs.👎🏿
Almost everyone has signs of being bitten, even Osved. After all, bugs don't care if you are emperor or not.👎🏿
Kevin is relatively better. He has also been bitten, but he has a strange self-healing power. Those rashes always disappear as soon as they appear, and they disappear in the blink of an eye. Naturally, they will not itch. die.👎🏿
He bypassed the inner waiter who was spreading the medicinal powder, and walked towards the study with his feet raised. Angel paused for a while, and nodded his eyebrows and lips at the flying insects in the sky, which is the usual prayer gesture for people who believe in the gods.👎🏿
"Praying that the bugs don't bite, it's better to slap them to death faster." Kevin said casually.👎🏿
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a few screams from the waiter from the study, which made his eyebrows jump: "What happened?!"👎🏿
