Chapter 29
Osved heard the sound and held back his disgust and swept the insect lamp around. The path under his feet came to an end here. There were no obvious road marks in front of him. Instead, there was a large clump of trees as tall as one person. The branches were thick and sharp, straight up, and each one was covered with fine thorns. In clusters.👎🏿
At first glance, it looks like a tall thorn with excess nutrition. It's just that these thorns are not solitary. The winding canes on both sides of the road are winding up along the roots of the thorns, almost merging with the thorns. The plump leaves hung in layers, obscuring the scene behind the thorn bushes.👎🏿
"This is—" Kevin heard Osved speak. "This is where the road ends? Where is Fae's tomb?"👎🏿
Kevin shook his head, took a step forward, bent down and tugged twice on the side of the road. He tore apart a few canes that were mixed together, raised his chin and said, "Here—the monument."👎🏿
At the place where his chin was pointing, there was a copper stele slantingly exposed halfway out of the soil.👎🏿
don't know how many years ago this stele was buried here. It was full of green rust and mottled, blocking most of the stele surface, revealing a rotten and heavy atmosphere.👎🏿
Kevin switched the bug lamp from his left hand to his right, and hung it directly on the top of the monument. The yellowish light was projected from top to bottom, and some carving marks were faintly revealed from under the rust, but it was too blurred for people to distinguish. unclear.👎🏿
"What did you write?" Osved frowned and took two steps, squatting directly in front of the monument. He squinted and looked at the monument for a moment, then tilted his neck back as if giving up, and simply raised his hand to cover the monument.👎🏿
Kevin snorted when he saw his movement: "You can still touch words? Did you figure out anything?"👎🏿
Osved glanced at him, didn't bother to answer, just moved his fingers slowly, carefully touching the monument in rows.👎🏿
Because of the heavy rust, it felt a little slow, and Kevin didn't stop him, and he wasn't busy urging. He had been holding the lamp with his arms and it was a little sore, so he glanced around and found no suitable place for support, so he simply sat on the ground against the back of the monument, with his elbows on the top of the monument, the insect lamp just hung down, two The long legs are stretched out straight and overlapped, which is quite comfortable.👎🏿
Osved lifted his eyelids and glanced at him sullenly before continuing to grope.👎🏿
After a while, Kevin's long straight legs changed positions, kicked His Majesty's noble ankle, and asked, "Which row did you touch?"👎🏿
"Can you rest for a while?" Osved squinted at his suspect leg from the corner of his eyes, and scolded, "Put your hoof away, don't rub against me."👎🏿
Kevin: "..." Can you tell me some truth? There is a big difference between kicking and rubbing.👎🏿
Osved seemed particularly impatient after being kicked by him for some reason, frowning with a sullen face, a look that didn't care about anyone. After a few more minutes, he finally clapped the rust on his hands and stood up straight.👎🏿
"Finished?" Kevin looked up at him.👎🏿
"Yeah." His Majesty the Emperor's reply was almost humming from his nose, "The tablet said that this is the entrance to the tomb of Fae God's tomb, where the body of the god is, and no one can wait to enter, otherwise it is blasphemy. , will suffer the worst curse."👎🏿
He paused, and added with an unpleasant expression: "It is followed by a long list of curses that curse the eight generations of ancestors. In short, it is to let the intruders die without a burial place, and cut off their children and grandchildren."👎🏿
Kevin raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh", his expression was very calm, and he didn't mean the slightest bit of surprise.👎🏿
The two of them were standing and the other was sitting, and the height difference between them was exaggerated. Osved stared at the expression on his face condescendingly with his eyelids down for a moment, then whispered, "You seem to have known the contents of the monument for a long time."👎🏿
"Really?" Kevin replied casually.👎🏿
He is actually a strange person sometimes, with big and small mysteries all over his body, but he gives people the feeling that "he doesn't care too much". He never mentioned anything on his own initiative, and if you don't ask, he won't say anything. If you ask, he will cover it up, but it doesn't bother him at all. If you hit the nail on the head, he will either reply casually with a "fool even thinks it's fake", or simply admit it.👎🏿
It's as if the things you think are important or unimportant are not worth mentioning in his eyes.👎🏿
"You've been here before." Osved omits the question and states it calmly. He simply folded his arms, looking like he was going to interrogate on the spot, "You are familiar with the location of Whitehead Hills and Eternal Falls, and you know what kind of monsters live here, and now even the old bronze monument that is so hidden is hidden. You can find it all at once... Apparently you've been here before."👎🏿
Kevin held the light of the insect lamp with his fingers, and did not speak, almost tacitly.👎🏿
"Compared to outings and adventures, this kind of place is obviously more suitable for dying." Osved swept around and said, "So, what did you come here for before?"👎🏿
Before Kevin could speak, he remembered something: "Your physique that won't die if you don't stab the heart...is it related to this?"👎🏿
Hearing this, Kevin raised his head and raised his eyebrows to look at him.👎🏿
"It seems to be right." Osved continued in a slow voice: "So when you heard the priest say that 'the holy water of the Fae Temple can relieve the strange disease of petrification', you easily believed that statement, and you didn't even think about the legend. Ten things are all based on falsehoods, why? Because your ability comes from here, and it is even related to holy water, so you fully understand how amazing holy water is?"👎🏿
Kevin changed his posture lazily and commented: "The logic is quite smooth."👎🏿
Osved: "..."👎🏿
From what Osved knew about him, when he didn't deny it directly, it meant he had guessed something right.👎🏿
The young emperor suddenly flashed a lot of pictures in his mind, when he saw Kevin for the first time, when Kevin sat lazily at the table while drinking afternoon tea while slipping him around, and Kevin It's rare to tell him some rumors and stories that heard from nowhere...👎🏿
Although he was reluctant to admit it, in fact, when he was still a young master, he was extremely impatient with Kevin, and on the other hand, he was attracted by a special temperament in Kevin.👎🏿
When I was young, I had a serious rebellious mentality, and I was rebellious against myself. I was not willing to think about the reasons for those emotions. When I was an adult, I had a hard time thinking about it, and I had an explanation—that so-called special temperament... Probably a sense of ease beyond age and physical boundaries.👎🏿
That kind of temperament is too easy to arouse the instinctive Mu Qiang psychology of children. Just like his inexplicable worship of the once invincible Radiant God when he watched "Divine Calendar" when he was a child.👎🏿
Kevin was only seventeen or eighteen at most when he came to Pach Manor. He was supposed to be a new recruit who had just entered the Reserve Corps and had never seen any battles, but there was no sign of cramped youth in his gestures.👎🏿
In the past, Osved only thought that this person was born with a thick mouth and a thick skin. He didn't think there was anything wrong. Now suddenly think about it...it's just not right anywhere!👎🏿
No one is born with a given character from babbling, and character is only shaped by experience and experience. How much experience and experience can a seventeen or eighteen-year-old have?👎🏿
Osved pondered for a long time, but did not speak.👎🏿
Kevin looked up and his neck was sore, so he lowered his head and rubbed the back of his neck. As soon as he punched him twice, he saw Osved suddenly take a step forward and squat down.👎🏿
He held down Kevin's hand on the ground monument, squinted his shallow, almost transparent eyes and approached, lowered his voice and said, "How long have you lived..."👎🏿
Kevin was taken aback.👎🏿
The young emperor looked extremely oppressive at this time, and after he finished saying this, he got closer and lowered his voice, "I was thinking just now, when I saw you for the first time, you had already entered. Reserve Corps, almost all of the time since then has been spent in the barracks, and it is almost impossible to sneak into Fae's tomb during that time. So when did you come in?"👎🏿
Kevin was not used to being so close to people, so he subconsciously stepped back, but his back touched the thorns tangled by the cane.👎🏿
Osved stepped back and pressed forward again: "When you came to Pach Manor, were you really only seventeen years old..."👎🏿
His voice was almost a whisper, and the tip of his nose almost touched Kevin's.👎🏿
After Osved said the last few words, he realized that his tone was extremely calm, but his brain was getting more and more excited - he never seemed to see Kevin like this, up close, and condescending.👎🏿
This is not condescending in the sense of pure perspective——👎🏿
On weekdays, the bastard, who always makes his teeth itch, rests on his shoulders on the cane. Because of the twisted angle of his waist and crotch, his shirt outlines a thin outline. Since there is no way out, he has to be circled. confined to such a small place.👎🏿
This is a really suppressed gesture.👎🏿
If Kevin is usually docile and easy-going, it's fine, but this person seems to be generous, but he is actually tough and tough. And when he was rarely calm and expressionless, he would have an extraordinarily cold and invulnerable temperament.👎🏿
Such a hard-boned person occasionally shows even the slightest trace of softening, which is indescribably attractive.👎🏿
Osved suddenly realized in the inexplicable excitement that he had wanted to cause some trouble for the person in front of him for a long time, whether it was a defiant sarcasm or a mean taunt, but just to be able to see such a special side of him.👎🏿
Because no one else can see it!👎🏿
The young emperor's eyes moved, and fell under the tip of Kevin's nose. He quickly raised it and said slowly: "How many things are hidden in you?"👎🏿
Kevin listened and looked sideways, not knowing what he was looking at.👎🏿
Osved frowned subconsciously and followed his gaze, except for a bug lamp on the top of the monument and the darkness in the distance, there was nothing special.👎🏿
And when he turned his eyes back again, he found that the suppressed Kevin had quickly returned to his calm and calm appearance. This bastard had the audacity to raise his hand and pat him on the cheek, and said two words in a shameless rogue tone. Word: "Guess."👎🏿
Osved: "..."👎🏿
Just as the two faced off, the giant orc Dan led the little lion class to look for it along the path, and just turned the corner, he shouted: "I knew you were groping along the road, and I saw the insect lamp in your hands.The light - what the hell?"👎🏿
Before the previous sentence was finished, two people, one big and one small, were already dumbfounded.👎🏿
With his mouth open, Dan stared blankly at Osved, who was squatting and kneeling, and then at Kevin, who was pressed against the cane by him.Then he covered Ban's eyes with a slap, turned around while holding the boy, and said in an insensitive mechanical tone, "This child can't see, he's blind."👎🏿
Osved: "..."👎🏿
Kevin: "..."👎🏿
Osved stood up straight, and by the way, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the unsteady Lord Fassbender.Just when they were about to explain a few words, the soft mud ground under their feet suddenly shook.👎🏿
