As for who would be most beneficial if something happened to Lucis, it would naturally be the one who could inherit the throne.

Sathya's succession to the throne is not limited to men, women also have it, but it is different from men. It is rare for women in the royal family to directly become queens. Generally speaking, they cannot directly become kings, but need and have powerThe man married, the husband and wife can share the power of the country after marriage, and if the person they marry is not powerful enough—for example, not a prime minister or an army general, or someone from another country, then without the support of the forces behind,It is tantamount to giving up the right to inherit the throne directly.

The succession system in Sathya is somewhat complicated, because the queen enjoys the same rights as the king, so the children born to the queen, regardless of gender, have the right of inheritance above other people - the princesses who are born directly are the few who do not need to rely on the power of their husbands.An example of becoming a queen - if the king's son is still young when the king dies, the older prince will be chosen to inherit the throne for the sake of the country's stability.

But after the new king came to the throne, the right of inheritance of the old king’s sons was higher than that of the children other than the sons of the new king and queen. This ranking is only limited to the upper and lower two generations.They are also excluded from this..

To sum up, the order of succession is the new king's son > the former king's son > the new king's other children > the former king's other children > other members of the royal lineage, and this order is gender-neutral.

When it came to Lucis, his father was his grandfather's legitimate son, and he and his brother were also his father's legitimate sons, so they were lucky not to encounter an overly complicated inheritance order.

At the same time, because Lucis's elder brother had no children, and he was not considered young when his elder brother died, even though he was the youngest of all siblings, Lucis was undisputed as the first heir.Identity inherited the throne of Sathya.

In addition to the former king, Lucis also had nearly thirty brothers and sisters - this does not include their father's illegitimate children - it can be seen how fertile their father is, which makes people wonder why his brother is obviously physically ill.Healthy but not even a child.

Of course, before the king took the throne, he also experienced a lot of blood and rain. In addition to the turmoil when he died, and the things that happened after Lucis took the throne, many of his brothers and sisters also died one after another.Today, less than half of it survives.

They can live safely until now because they know not to covet things that don't belong to them and to be human with their tails between their legs. Those who used to jump too much have already been dealt with by Lucis and his brother.

But if these people were really able to live their lives in peace and stability, there wouldn't be an assassination around Lucis every once in a while.

Even if they were willing to live a stable life, human desires are unlimited. Under the circumstances that Lucis has never been married and has no offspring, it is difficult for those who just suppress their ambitions not to have some thoughts that they shouldn't have.

The aide next to Lucis was caught, and the main emissary who came out of his mouth was a former prince who is now a hereditary nobleman—Persibussen.

The nobles in Sathya do not have a clear hierarchy, and are generally divided into two types: hereditary and non-hereditary. Whether they belong to the great nobles depends only on the power and status of the family. However, most of the hereditary nobles have royal blood, so there are great nobles.There are also many situations - of course, this bloodline can also support them. When the royal family has no other heirs, they can ascend to the throne according to their own abilities. However, except for the previous king, all the kings have always been able to give birth. The situation of the royal bloodline is basically severed.Impossible to appear.

Percybson, who let people release snakes, is the twenty-fourth among all Lucis' siblings, the ninth among the surviving brothers and sisters, and the youngest of Lucis' four surviving brothers.Only three years apart.

"If there is no confession from the close servant, I will be more suspicious of other older brothers and sisters."

Lucis confides in Ella.

His elder brother is now a region in the south of Sathya - Normah (district chief, governor) of Ainupast.There is a long distance between Nupaster and the royal capital, and it is not a very prosperous and famous city itself. In addition, Bosibsen himself has always been very low-key, so people can easily forget him, even LucisI can't even remember that I have such a brother.

So never doubted him.

After all, in everyone's opinion, his ranking is low and he is far away from the power center, and his own strength is not strong. It stands to reason that even if something happened to Lucis, it would not be his turn to inherit the throne.

If it hadn't been for the close servant to say his name under torture, no one would have thought of him.

But in fact, looking at the situation of Lucis's other three brothers, we know that it is not impossible for him.

Among the other three ex-princes who are still alive, the oldest one is much older than the late emperor. He is already in his fifties this year. In today's age when people don't live long, this age is almost buried.They are old people, but the remaining two are much younger, both around forty years old. Compared with Percybson, who has been forgotten by people, these two are more likely to inherit the throne.

But these two have been immersed in debauchery all the year round, they are mediocre in all aspects, and they are not even comparable to the former princesses in the hearts of other nobles, especially Lucis does not treat his blood relations who have not gotten along very much.See, especially these three incompetent elder brothers, so let alone support, there are not many nobles who are close to them.

"When there is no choice, Posibson is a good candidate."

And since Percybsen has always wanted Lucis's life, there is a high probability that there are other backers.

Ella: "So are you sure it's him?"

"Um."

In the forced confession, the valet revealed that the person who connected with him was Percybsen's valet, who was a distant relative of the former, and that was why they were able to get on the line.

In the beginning, the distant relative of the near servant introduced a beautiful girl to him. The beauty caught the near servant's heart, and soon they got married.

After marriage, under the intentional or unintentional temptation of his wife, the valet revealed a lot about Lucis. By the time he realized it, Percybsen had arranged an assassination with the information he provided. Although it was unsuccessful,But if Lucis finds out, the close servant will also lose his life.

The servant, a distant relative, threatened the servant with this, and at the same time promised him that he would give him a title and money when Percybsen came to power.

Of course, at that time, the servant did not know that the person behind the scenes was Percybsen, but he was not easy to save fuel. After various temptations and learned who was planning these things, he also took advantage of the fact that he was touring the country with Lucis.Time to find a chance to meet the former prince, and get some evidence that can prove Percybson's identity.

This was originally a trick he used to prevent the other party from turning his back on him, but now under torture, he confessed everything.

"When the soldiers arrested his wife, they found evidence from his home. At the same time, there were several letters between him and Percybson. There is no doubt that Percybson was the mastermind."

Although it is not known whether the letter was written by Percybson himself, the key evidence provided by the adjutant officer can also prove that the person who ordered him was Percybsen.

Of course, Percybsen still has a chance to defend himself, as long as he can convince Lucis that he is innocent in the Supreme Court presided over by the king himself.

"I've already sent someone to tell Necht to invite Percybson when he comes back."

Neht is the general of the South Theater and one of the top generals in Sathya. He led the troops that attacked the country of Kata before.

Sending a general to a nobleman accused of attempting to murder the king would not be a peaceful process.

The things to be said have been said, and the dinner has come to the end. Ella is already full, and is holding a dessert to wait for the man opposite to finish eating.

After a long time, Lucis, who had almost wiped out all the food on the table, put down the tableware, wiped off the sauce from his mouth, and ended the meal.

"Did you not eat today? It's rare to see you eat so much."

Although Lucis always eats better at night than at noon, today's amount is more than his usual dinner.

"Well, I don't have much appetite in the afternoon."

That kind of thing happened last night, Lucis was in a state of fright and anger all day long, not to mention lunch, he didn't even eat breakfast, he just drank a few glasses of wine and had dinner with Ella at the moment, and then he realized thatI am hungry.

After throwing away the napkin for wiping his mouth and washing his hands under the service of his attendant, Lucis invited Ella to the garden for a stroll.

At this time, because of the flooding of the Inlula River, many gardens with streams and ponds in the palace were flooded by the river. These gardens that would be flooded were originally planted with water lilies.In the water tank, there is such a garden near the palace. In addition to the pond, there are also huge water tanks under the steps leading to the second floor. There are lotus flowers in full bloom in the water tanks. Now the river is submerged.The entire garden and the water tanks placed in it are also immersed in the water, it looks like the entire garden has become a beautiful lotus pond.

Different from other places, the lotus planted here is not the blue-purple water lily that is common on the banks of the Inrula River, but the light pink, light yellow and pure white that are very rare for the Sathiya people.The foreign species passed down from "Ya'an" are rare and precious flowers in Sathya, and they are only found in the royal family and some powerful noble merchants.

Ella has never been to this garden before. Although she has been in the palace for a while, but because of so many things that have happened recently, she has not been walking around in the palace very much, and she is very unfamiliar with it.

So it was also the first time she knew that what was planted here was not water lilies, but lotus flowers.

Water lilies are often considered to be a kind of lotus, but they are not plants of the same family, and apart from the difference in appearance and growth habit, the most different point between water lilies and lotus is that water lilies do not grow lotus pods and have no root.

And on the water surface of this garden, under the withered lotus flowers, there are growing lotus pods.

Aila's eyes lit up. The lotus is not only beautiful, but also has delicious lotus seeds and lotus root. The lotus core is also a medicinal material with a wide range of uses.

She walked down the stone steps slowly, bent down and folded a mature lotus pod, gently opened the lotus pod, took out the lotus seeds inside, and put it in her mouth to taste.

The sweetness of lotus seeds mixed with the strong bitterness of lotus heart is a taste that can make people frown.

Lucis swung everyone away before turning to face Ayla.

"I think it's time for us to talk about you."

coming.

·····

As early as when Lucis sent someone to invite her to dinner, Ella guessed what he was going to do, but she didn't expect him to delay asking until now.

The evening wind carried a burst of lotus fragrance, blowing her skirt and hair. She raised her hand to stroke the hair around her ears, and looked at the person standing above the steps.

The genes optimized and inherited by several generations of kings and beautiful concubines undoubtedly gave Lucis an excellent appearance, but his handsomeness reveals wildness and unruly even tyranny, sharp and cruel like a sharp weapon out of its sheath, ifWithout knowing his identity, the girls might admire him because of his handsomeness, but they would also dare not approach him because of his aggressive temperament.

But Ella has to admit that Lucy's looks are the type she would appreciate.

Who is not Yangou?

After being flashed by the other party's appearance, Ella answered more bluntly: "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

But she is not the only one who is also immersed in beauty.

"Those little secrets about you."

Lucis looked at the people below from the steps. At this time, the sky was not completely dark yet. The sun was hanging on the western horizon, illuminating the sky red with clouds, and also covered the beautiful silver-haired princess with a layer of gorgeous rays of light.Beautiful like a phantom in a dream.

Lucis wanted to catch Phantom, but he also knew that she was not a treasure that could easily fall into the palm of his hand.

In the eyes of those court servants who were not far away and could not hear their conversation, the picture of two people looking at each other, one tall and one low, was even more beautiful against the background of the lotus in the pond.

"I don't understand what you mean, maybe you can make it clearer."

Ella lowered her head and continued to fiddle with the lotus, preventing him from seeing any flaws on her face.

She has too many secrets, and it is difficult for Ella to be confident that she can hide it from Lucis, so she can only be more cautious.

Lucis also knew that it was impossible for Ella to tell him so simply: "My people can't find any information about you, even if your country is too far away and no one knows it here, but as long as you step into Sathia, you will be able to go back and forth."There may be no trace left, but the fact is that even where the Kata found you, there was no news of you at all."

"A beautiful girl lying on the edge of the desert, wearing a long wool dress that is not suitable for hot weather, and nothing else on her body, it is obvious that she did not come across the desert, it could only have arrived from somewhere else, but such a strangeYou are dressed like ordinary people, but no one around you has seen you, how strange it is, I think you know it very well."

He walked down the steps, his steps were slow and lazy, but it gave Ella a sense of urgency of being pressed by others.

Ella was not surprised that Lucis could find out this. This is Sathya, and he is the king, the only owner of this land.

And as an outsider without any information, her existence is very easy to doubt.

Lu Xisi came to her side, but passed her by, leaned over and picked a few lotus flowers that bloomed just in time, and continued: "You know a lot of things, elegant manners, outstandingIt’s enough to surprise people with their culinary skills and even proficiency in pharmacology and other weird things, but isn’t it too strange that a princess can tame snakes? And the cobra’s performance yesterday was too special,I even once doubted whether it could understand your words."

In fact, can really understand it.

Ella was silent.

Several blooming lotus flowers were held together by Lucis into a bunch and put into Ella's arms.

"Of course, what puzzles me the most is, when we first met, where is the set of jewelry you wore now? They are not on you, but I have searched the entire palace and have not found any of them."

"There are so many questions, I think you should give me some explanations."

Ella hugged her arms full of fragrant lotus flowers. Ella lowered her head and sniffed, avoiding the other party's overly oppressive eyes, and secretly sighed in her heart that the existence of jewelry was indeed a big problem.

When she ran away, she was greedy and wanted to keep those jewelries and exchange them for money later, so she put them all into the magic ring. She didn't expect that Lucis would come to arrest her in person, and she didn't bother to take out the jewelries to find someoneThe place was thrown away, and there were people around him all the time, so there was no chance to take it out.

Ella can reveal a little secret to let Lucis put down too much doubt, but she won't be so stupid as to directly reveal the hole card.

"Although this sounds a bit fake, in fact, I don't know why I appear here."

She raised her head to convey her sincerity to Lucis.

"At that time, I was about to leave my godmother and go back to the palace to attend my sixteenth birthday, but I suddenly passed out for some reason, and when I woke up, I was already on the ship of the Kata Mission."

"As for the jewelry you mentioned, well, I admit that I hid them. After all, if I leave here, I always have to live, and those jewelry can be exchanged for a lot of money."

Lucis could see that she wasn't lying, but she must be hiding something.

It is really hard to believe the too bizarre origin, but since it can't be found, it may be the truth no matter how hard to believe, Lucis is suspicious of this, but he doesn't really care how she appeared in Sathya,I'm even a little thankful for Ella's encounter, otherwise they might not have met at all.

What he cared about was the missing jewelry and the poisonous snake.

The former means that there are still loopholes in his palace, which is unacceptable to Lucis, who has a high desire for control, while the latter will affect Ella's reputation and make her reputation suffer.

There were soldiers' handles everywhere on the route she walked that night. If she dropped those jewelry on the road, the soldiers would probably find her immediately, but if she hid, the soldiers of Lucis almost turned the palace upside down.I haven't found it all over the place, and this statement is not so realistic.

"Where are you hiding?"

Ella: "I just used some small props and asked the people from the mission to keep them for me. I didn't expect to be caught by you. It's a pity that those things will not come back now."

Her words reminded Lucis of the night.

He guessed: "You mean you use drugs to stun someone, and then hide things on him/her?"

Ella wanted him to think this way, so naturally she nodded in accordance with his words.

This statement is reasonable. Although Lucis was still skeptical, the soldiers only searched the palace at that time, and did not search the servants and sedan chairs brought by the guests, especially the Kata mission.There is still a need for hospitality, and if Ella finds a chance to hide things in their team, it is really not easy to be discovered.

Moreover, if the members of the mission find these jewelry, there is a high probability that they will not take it out. After all, the fact that the people they brought intends to escape may implicate them.thing.

Lucis was reluctantly persuaded. Although Ella still concealed something, he could accept this statement.

"And what about the snake?"

Lucis suddenly bent down and leaned in front of Ella, so that her eyes could only look at him. At such a close distance, he could even clearly see that the pupils in her purple eyes were slightly dilated due to fright.one time.

He stared at the eyes that fascinated him, and continued to speak slowly: "Or should we add Semet? It seems that whether it is a poisonous snake or a lion, they are always very docile in front of you, so is it true for other animals?"

Semet, Ella once saw and fed a lot of meat to the lion.

It is a genuine lion king. Like all lions, even though Semet is raised by humans, although he does not hate humans, he does not usually have relatives. Lucis is because he started to live when he was young.I personally raised this big guy, and at the same time suppressed it by force after it became an adult to make this big guy submit, but when it treats other people, it has never been a docile pet.

In front of Ayla, this lion king is too gentle. In the past, Lucis always thought that it was because of Ayla's courage to feed the lion that Semet behaved very well when facing Ayla.friendly.

But the situation of the cobra last night broke Lucis's thinking.

The insidiousness and difficulty of taming snakes are recognized by the Sathya people who like to keep pets. Even the snake trainers who have kept snakes for many years will often be backlashed by the snakes they raise, so the snake trainers who keep poisonous snakes will pull them out.To avoid accidents, only poisonous snakes with special purposes will have fangs. When facing such poisonous snakes, the snake trainer must be careful to ensure his own safety.

The cobra is the most aggressive snake among all snakes. They can be domesticated, but that is not something that can be done overnight. Even if the snake is raised by humans, a poisonous snake is a poisonous snake.They even attack their own owners, not to mention encountering a human with a special aura when they are hungry.

The captured servants have already found out the whole process of committing the crime. Among them, the female slave who transported the poisonous snake was originally in charge of washing clothes, so she not only had to sneak the two snakes into the storage room, but also needed to help Lu Xi.When Si was washing the bedding, he secretly smeared a special smell that could irritate cobras on the sheets.

This smell is also found in the flowers that Ella replaced when she took a bath. Its smell is very weak. As long as it is slightly stronger, it can be completely covered up. The scented flowers used in the bath are best for covering up the smell, and LucysAlthough he doesn't take flower petal baths, he likes to use spices with sleep-promoting effects, so the fragrance in the palace is enough to cover up this smell.

However, the sense of smell of snakes can capture this special smell among many smells. The trained cobra will even actively attack the body contaminated with this smell. It is said that this special smell is the unique secret recipe of the snake trainer., but the configuration is not easy, the materials used are very expensive and scarce, Percybsen only bought a little bit after spending a lot of money, when he sent someone to deliver the things to them, he also specially asked them to tell them to save some.

When these people confessed, they also said that Ayla was not originally included in the assassination plan, and they were suddenly notified that there was one more target for unknown reasons.A hole was used to deal with Ella, and because of the previous encounter, the maids around Ella kept a close eye on her things, so the female slave couldn't find a chance to attack, so she had to choose to mix into the petals, and the maids who mixed into the petalsThe smell of the special medicinal powder will become weaker when diluted with hot water, and it will remain on the body of other people who have touched the bath water. If Ella doesn’t like people watching at night, she is the only one in the bedroom.The first target is definitely the maid in charge of the night watch who is closer to the snake cave, not Ella who is sleeping in the other corner.

The more troublesome point is that although Percybsen, who was behind the scenes, has been exposed and will be arrested soon, the snake trainer who played a key role has never been found. The origin of the other party seems to be very mysterious.The attendants and slaves, who knew a lot of secrets, had never met each other. They didn't even know whether the snake trainer was male or female. They could only hope that Percybsen would confess to him after he was arrested.Busson didn't know the details of the snake tamer either.

And in the absence of a snake trainer, Ella, who can make the poisonous snake obedient and seems to understand medicine, is very problematic.

Lucis could imagine that if the snake trainer could not be found, some people would suspect that the two snakes were actually raised by Ella after the news spread, and that she did this to win Luxi.Sri Lanka's trust.

They will spread such rumors, increase people's suspicion of Ella, and do everything possible to cut off the possibility of her becoming a princess or even a queen.

It has to be said that even the suspicious Lucis doubted Ella for a moment.

But because he knows that Ella has too many secrets, and often does not hide it, so he trusts her more than others think—of course, this is not only because her beauty is attractive enough, Lucis asked himselfNot so superficial people.

——If Ella knew what he was thinking, she might not be able to help but give him a blank stare.

Of course she didn't know, so she was struggling with how to answer Lucis's question right now.

In fact, she has struggled with this question for a long time.

If it was at the very beginning, in order to protect herself, Ella would definitely choose to make up lies to hide her secrets, but at this point, ever since she wrapped Lady Snake around her body, Ella never thought about being involved in this matter.Lied to him.

Ella's ability to communicate with animals is actually very easy to expose. If she doesn't pay special attention, she often confuses whether the sounds she hears come from animals or humans. After all, in her ears, the difference between the two is not big.

So it is too difficult for her to lie about this matter. If a bad thing is discovered, the problem will be discovered. When the truth is exposed, the damage caused by this lie will instantly collapse the trust established between them, even if it can be repaired afterwards., the estrangement and cracks already exist, and it is impossible to completely erase them.

So Ella told Lucis: "Girls in our family are born with a very special ability. This ability not only makes animals friendly to us, but even allows us to understand the meaning of animal calls to a certain extent."

She didn't lie, if the princesses in the fairy tale world didn't have the ability to provoke small animals, would they still be called fairy tale princesses?

Lucis looked at her suspiciously, and really felt that the answer was too bizarre: "Your so-called special ability can make a poisonous snake surrender to you with just one face-to-face?"

Ella shook her head and explained: "It's not surrender. Mrs. Snake was attracted by the jerky I usually put in the room. It was very hungry at the time. I bribed it with jerky. Under the temptation of food, it was willing to cooperate."me."

Because Ella's food intake for each meal is a bit small, the maids will place fruit plates and some long-lasting dried meat in the bedroom. Ella will occasionally eat a little, and occasionally habitually hide a little in the space to preventIn case—who knows if she will be transported to another world—over time, she also puts a lot of jerky in her space, but the jerky that is fed to Mrs. Snake comes from this.

Worried that Lucis felt that her special ability was too magical, she emphasized: "In fact, this ability is more effective for gentler animals, and dangerous animals are not so easy to communicate with."

Ella didn't finish her words. Even in the original fairy tale world, many creatures would not listen to human beings even if they could communicate. What's more, in a different world, she didn't know whether this ability would be compromised.There are no powerful magical creatures, but the danger of ordinary animals is still not low. Animals under rage are difficult to appease no matter which world they are in.

Lucis believed that many royal families, such as his family, would deliberately myth their bloodlines in order to show their supremacy—their family had always insisted that they were direct descendants of the sun god.

But magical abilities?That was a trick used by the priests in the temple to fool people. Lucis never believed it and scoffed at it.

But when facing Ella, he was always extra tolerant and willing to treat her differently.

"Perhaps you are willing to show off your so-called special ability? You must know that you must not only convince me, but also convince others."

Speaking of the show, Ella cleared her throat uncomfortably and said, "It's not impossible, but I have to make some preparations."

Lucis: "The palace has a courtyard dedicated to feeding birds. They should meet your requirements, right?"

The gods of Sathya are all animal gods, and the corresponding animals are considered to be their incarnations. Therefore, corresponding animals are kept in major temples, and this is also the reason why many animals are kept in the royal family. Most of the birds that are kept areLovely, just right for Ella to show.

"Let the attendants bring some food that the birds like."

This is very easy to handle, as soon as Lucis gave the order, someone soon brought the wheat, fruits and meat that birds like, and placed them on the steps around the courtyard.

"What else do we need to prepare now?"

"Just help me get this."

Ella handed the flowers and lotus pods to Lucis, turned around, and faced the lotus pond in front of her.

She cleared her throat again, took a deep breath, and sang!

Ella's voice is ethereal and melodious, and so is her singing, but if the content of the lyrics is simply translated like this-"Hey, friends, there are many delicious foods here, come quickly."

It has been said before that Ella needs to sing if she wants to use her princess skills to summon small animals. It can be said that singing is a must-have skill for every fairy tale princess.

Fairy tale princesses can summon small animals mainly because they can communicate with them, so the more straightforward the content of the lyrics, the better. Although they can actually communicate with small animals without singing, when they need to call small animals, princesses are used toUsing singing to summon is not only because they like and are good at singing, but also because it is more in line with their identities-if Princess Meng always yells, she is likely to be taken back by their etiquette teacher to re-learn etiquette.

There are no birds in this garden with the naked eye, so Ella has to sing loudly to be heard by the birds in the distance. Of course, singing is more ritualistic than shouting.

Because she didn't want to be heard clearly what she was singing, Ella sang the lingua franca of the fairy tale world, and to the ears of Lucis and the attendants not far away, it was a melodious but incomprehensible song.This reminded them of the hymns sung by priests for the gods.

Even if they can't understand, the princess's talented singing voice is enough to make everyone addicted to her singing, even Lucis is not surprised.

So the abnormality in the courtyard was ignored by everyone at first.

····· The anomaly begins in the water.

The original pond in the courtyard was connected to the Inlula River, and some fish were raised in the pond, and as the river rose, many aquatic organisms also entered the water system of the palace along the water flow.

At this time, these aquatic creatures were also attracted by the princess' singing, and they emerged from the water one after another.

A small fish with its mouth open and spitting bubbles, a frog jumping on a lotus leaf and croaking in agreement with its singing, and a small crocodile only ten centimeters long that sneaked in from the Inlula River while avoiding the inspection of the palace at some point.Both predator and prey came together in peace, watching Ella sing.

—or wait for her to feed her.

Just because everyone looked up at the singing princesses, no one noticed they were there.

After a melody, in the distant sky, with the setting sun behind it, some small black dots looming against the light, coming towards this side, and more black dots are added from time to time.

I don't know who discovered their existence first, someone in the attendant exclaimed and pointed there. Everyone looked over and saw the group of black dots that were particularly conspicuous in the red glow.

When the black spot got closer, they realized that it was actually a large flock of birds.

To their surprise, this flock of birds was different from the ones they had seen before. In this flock, there were cowardly plovers, wild geese flying in a row, elegant and beautiful cranes, and unpleasantThe vultures, the holy ibis that came with the rising water, and the fierce and powerful eagle falcon painted on the national flag by the Sathiyas... and other birds of all sizes, almost all the birds they knowcan be seen in this flock of birds.

It is hard to imagine that these birds can get together without incident. Whether it is a vulture or a falcon, other small birds are far away from the target, but at this time they are walking together, not far from each other, but they are also safe.

And their goal is also very clear, which is this courtyard.

The flock of birds flew closer and closer, their flapping wings mixed with birdsong, lively and noisy, almost covering Ella's singing.

The number and types of birds coming were somewhat unexpected. Ella continued to sing, pulled Larusis, and pointed to the food on the steps. The latter immediately understood, and turned to order the attendant to prepare more food., especially meat for large carnivorous birds.

The attendants came back to their senses and left quickly to make preparations.

The attendants were very fast, perhaps because they didn't want to miss this miraculous scene, they ran to the kitchen to get more food.

The first one to arrive was a peregrine falcon. This medium-sized raptor, also known as the pear eagle, is the fastest flying bird, and it is undoubtedly the first among the birds.

The peregrine falcon flew over with a wingspan of one meter, and with a figure of nearly half a meter, it was undoubtedly a strong and beautiful bird.

When it was flying towards Ayla from a high altitude, Lucis subconsciously stepped forward to block Ayla.

The singing paused, and the peregrine falcon that was about to come down also stopped in the air, circling in place.

Ella came out from behind Lucis and comforted: "It's okay, it didn't mean to hurt anyone."

Lucis glanced at Ella, and didn't stop him after all, and retreated according to Ella's intention, but he didn't leave too far away, but was at a distance where he could save someone at any time.

Ella sang again, this time with a slightly different content, as she reassured the falcon, who was also a little frightened at the other end.

A short time later, when the other birds were about to arrive, the peregrine came down from the sky again.

Ella raised her hand. Today she is wearing a long-sleeved dress with a fixed cloak on the shoulders. At this time, the cloak is wrapped around her arms. With the thickness of the cloak, as long as the peregrine falcon stops on itDon't use too much force so you don't scratch her.

The peregrine falcon hesitated for a while, and finally stopped on her arm. The sharp eagle claws didn't use too much force, but they also scratched the surface of the cloak.

Ella stopped singing, and smiled softly at Peregrine Falcon who was turning her head to look at her: [Hello, Peregrine Falcon, if you can, please be a little bit harder, my clothes will be torn by you.]

"Sorry, it's the first time I understand human beings, and I'm a little excited."

Peregrine said in amazement, the force of his claws relaxed, and it took a step across Ayla's arm, getting closer to her face.

More birds descended from the sky, and because the peregrine falcon occupied the position on Ella, the other birds did not approach, the waterfowl stopped in the water, and the other birds stopped on the buildings on both sides of the courtyard.The courtyard is occupied by various birds. Different species of birds gather together according to different species, but they will not attack other birds. They are all chirping and discussing the magical human in front of them.

"Is she really human? She actually understands our language."

"She's so shiny, I'd love to make a nest out of her hair."

"Don't make trouble, attack humans, do you want to be killed by them?"

"I'm just talking."

"Is there really food here? That human won't lie to us, right? Is she going to hunt us?"

"Then shall we go?"

The flock of birds can communicate with each other. To human ears, their bird calls are meaningless, but to Ella's ears they are distinct.

She quickly sang again loudly: [Hey, friends, please look around, the food here is prepared for you.]

With the finger that didn't stop, she pointed to the steps around the courtyard.

Around the courtyard, wheat grains and fruits that birds can eat are placed on three steps, and small fish and raw meat cut into small pieces are placed on the last step, which is specially prepared for carnivorous birds.Yes, separating carnivorous raptors from other birds is also to avoid bloodshed.

When the birds saw the fruits and meat on the plates, they lost any sense of danger.

"Ah, there is indeed food!"

"Come on, friends, don't be robbed by other birds!"

The flock of birds flapped their wings and flew towards their respective targets.

Ella took a fresh piece of jerky from Lucis and talked to the peregrine on her shoulder.

As the symbol animal on the royal flag, the peregrine falcon has an extraordinary status in Sathya, and it has an extraordinary significance when it landed on Ella.

"Hey beauty, we meet again!"

A greasy voice sounded from her feet, and Ella looked down, and saw a slightly familiar big bird waving one wing to greet her.

It was the holy ibis that had accosted her.

This holy ibis not only likes to strike up conversations, but is also quite familiar. Seeing Ella looking over, it flapped its wings and flew up, trying to imitate the peregrine falcon and land on Ella's other shoulder, but the holy ibis is bigger than the peregrine falconBig, carrying a peregrine falcon is already very heavy for Ella, and she will definitely not be able to bear another holy ibis.

She took a step back with the peregrine falcon, stopped beside Lucis, and took a fresh small fish from the plate in Lucis' hand.

[Oh, Mr. Ibis, nice to meet you, maybe you would like some small fish?]

As soon as he heard that there was his favorite food, the holy ibis stopped flopping immediately.

"Of course, I would like to, the more the better."

Ella handed over the small fish, and the holy ibis took it in one bite, and swallowed the small fish with her head raised a few times.

Seeing that it had finished eating, Ella was about to get it, but Lucis threw the fish out of the plate before her. The holy ibis didn't care who was feeding it, and stuck its head out to catch it.

Probably because they saw someone feeding them, more fish-loving birds gathered around Ella and Lucis, flapping their wings and opening their mouths, waiting to be fed.

Originally, the breath of Lucis was something that animals would feel dangerous and could not wait to stay away, but under Ella's comfort, these birds quickly focused on the food around their beaks, and Lucis was just an automatic creature in their eyes.feeding machine.

While feeding the eagle, Ella smiled and asked Lucis, "Can this prove it?"

Lucis slammed his hand for throwing the fish, and the birds chirped in dissatisfaction. He simply poured out the whole plate of fish, causing them to scramble for it.

After doing this, Lucis said to Ella: "I don't think not only me, but others will no longer doubt you."

He motioned Ella to look at the servants, and Ella turned her head, and saw the servants standing in the distance, all of them looked excited and surprised, especially her maids, they looked at her as ifBehold a miracle.

Ella knew that her performance just now must have been very eye-catching. This kind of thing is an astonishing scene that can be popular in modern times. In the eyes of the ancients, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miracle.

But in this way, her status in the hearts of these people will also rise.

Ella withdrew her gaze, and when she turned her head, she happened to see the little crocodile in the pond, and her whole body trembled in fright.

Although this crocodile is very small, not even as big as the swimming fish next to it, but if it is caught off guard and looks at this cold-blooded animal, no matter how brave it is, it will be frightened.

The little crocodile also seemed to be frightened by her, and with a flick of its tail, it hid under the lotus leaf.

Luxis followed her gaze and saw the crocodile lurking under the lotus leaves. He frowned, and put his hand on the dagger he carried around his waist: "It should have sneaked in along the river, you stay behind, I'll handle it."

Ella stopped him: "It's not malicious, just let someone take it away. Isn't there a crocodile pond over the temple? You can put it there."

The crocodile is already a protected animal in modern times. Since it is not for hunting, this little crocodile has no malicious intentions. Ella thinks there is no need to kill it, and because the crocodile is too small, it may not survive even if it is released. It is better to send it to the temple.They are raised in the house, and they don't mind having an extra little crocodile.

She threw a strip of meat prepared for a peregrine falcon into the water, and the baby crocodile was attracted, immediately took the strip of meat and dived into the water.
