Chapter 94: All living things are like grass, and all gods are like madness
Prince Norton composed himself and was about to speak when suddenly the notebook on the desk flashed a continuous light.
Military information!
He immediately strode behind the desk and looked down. It turned out that it was like this and so.
"Page! We won a big victory!"
The prince was overjoyed and said: "The undead seem to know the news of the legendary assassin's death. Now the battle formation has begun to collapse, and our army is pursuing it with all its strength!"
"Great!" Shen Ye agreed.
Prince Norton laughed loudly, banged the table with his hand and said: "This is all your credit. Tell me, what kind of official do you want to be? I will definitely appoint you!"
"Being an official? It's not necessary, but Your Highness, I have a friend who is deeply troubled by a curse. Is there any treasure that can lift the curse?" Shen Ye asked.
"Is that so?" Prince Norton's vigilance disappeared again, and he said in a joking tone: "It's rare that you still think about your friend at this moment - is it a boy or a girl?"
"Female." Shen Ye told the truth.
——The truth.
A person who is not greedy for power, a person who is willing to pay for women or friendship.
Tsk.
Prince Norton felt a little more comfortable, and said in deep thought: "This kind of treasure is very rare, why not let the high priest try it? By the way, your friend can also bring it out, and maybe I can ask the elves to help lift the curse."
"No, my friend doesn't want to show up to meet people." Shen Ye said with some embarrassment.
lie.
But this time, Prince Norton smiled with some understanding.
In fact, it is an honor to show up in person.
The same goes for asking the high priest to take action.
But when young people fall in love, they always have some romantic ideas.
And to be honest, the effect of treasure is stronger than that of priest.
For example, the Holy Compassion Diamond hanging around my neck has its effect——
etc!
Prince Norton's face froze.
He looked at Shen Ye and found that Shen Ye was really looking at the pendant on his chest.
There was a moment of silence.
The big skull's whisper still echoed in Shen Ye's ears:
"The Sacred Diamond of Compassion hanging around the prince's neck is a gem specifically designed to lift curses. It is the strongest in the world -"
"At least there is no known treasure that is better at lifting curses than this."
Shen Ye scratched his head and pretended to be surprised and said:
"Wow, Your Highness, your chest is glowing. Can such a precious thing be used?"
...can it be used?
Prince Norton smacked his lips for a moment and gradually came back to his senses.
"Will it work?"
This sentence literally contains several meanings.
First.
Is this thing good or bad, and can it have an effect on the curse?
second.
Can you give me this?
Third.
Can I just use this thing as a reward?
Judging from the context, St. Page has a secondary and tertiary meaning.
——This boy!
Prince Norton gritted his teeth, pulled off the pendant and threw it over:
"Take it, damn guy, this pendant can buy a city! Do you want to give it to a woman?"
"Take it to save people and return a favor."
Shen Ye laughed and put away the Holy Diamond of Compassion.
Done!
No matter what the final result is, I tried my best.
——Be clear with each other and don’t owe each other!
The prince watched the diamond disappear in Shen Ye's hand, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his body. He glared and said:
"Get out and cook! I have to go to work!"
"Okay, Prince; go right away, Prince."
Shen Ye was in a good mood and turned around and left the room.
Time passes slowly.
The third day.
Prince Norton further recovered from his injuries.
This made both him and Shen Ye breathe a sigh of relief.
The palace mage Yudria arrived at the safe house with several of her men to provide quick treatment to the prince.
His strength finally returned.
"Your Highness, the front line has been victorious and morale is high. Everyone says that you have commanded well. Everyone is waiting for you to return."
Yudria reported.
Prince Norton nodded and said: "Well, it's time to return to the battlefield. Page, come and come with me!"
No response.
Where are people?
Prince Norton walked out of the study and saw no sign of Page around.
There is only a pink pig painted on the wall of the living room.
Here is a line of text:
“Kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace in a thousand miles.”
Several subordinates followed out and saw this scene.
"Your Highness, he left without reporting to you!"
A priest couldn't help but said.
Prince Norton snorted coldly, walked to the portrait of the pig and looked at it carefully, and said to himself:
"This pig is really ugly... but how can you use a pig to represent yourself?"
"My brain is really crazy."
The pastor wanted to continue: "Your Highness——"
"Needless to say! Page is an assassin and is performing my secret mission. Don't worry about him. Let's go!" Prince Norton waved his hand.
…
Floating islands.
A sedan chair moves leisurely through the mountains.
suddenly.
A male voice came from the sedan:
"Stop!"
Several maids carrying the sedan slowly stopped.
The curtain opens.
Nangong Sirui walked out and walked seven or eight meters along the mountain path with a smile on his face:
"Brother Guanshu, are you here?"
No response.
The mountain breeze blows slowly.
The woods swayed and the leaves made a sound. "It's so boring. You guys hide your strength every day. You don't compete with the rankings of rookie cards. You are so obscene and insignificant even in the exam. It's really boring."
Nangong Sirui said dissatisfied.
Still no one answered.
Nangong Sirui rolled his eyes, hummed, shook his head and said: "That's all, I'll tell my sister when I get back that Wang Guanshu is not worth reading. He is a coward who doesn't even dare to show up in the exam."
A voice suddenly sounded from the mountain wall next to it:
"Is this interesting to you?"
Rumble——
The mountain wall cracked on both sides, revealing a small stone chamber inside.
A young man was sitting cross-legged on a futon. He had just cooked a pot of tea and was pouring it.
It was Wang Guanshu.
Nangong Sirui walked in with satisfaction and sat across the coffee table from the young man.
"I rarely serve this tea to others."
Wang Guanshu said, placing a cup of tea in front of Nangong Sirui.
Nangong Sirui said in a chatting tone:
"It seems that the restrictions on killing have been opened, but you are still hiding here, why don't you go out and have fun?"
"I'm not attached to anything, so you don't need to test me." Wang Guanshu said.
"Haha, I really don't understand you guys. You are obviously incredibly powerful, but you are sitting here and not even competing for rankings - you are so cowardly."
Nangong Sirui sat with his chin in his hands, looking at the other person and sighing.
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Wang Guanshu's eyes, and soon disappeared.
He said calmly: "Not everyone can be as laid-back as you. Besides, I don't like to be in the limelight."
Nangong Sirui picked up the teacup and took a sip, rinsed his mouth, and then spit it all into the teacup. Then he said lazily: "I'm a show-off? Do you know that I've tried my best to suppress my strength?"
"You are very strong, okay." Wang Guanshu said helplessly.
"Just admit it. By the way, which school do you plan to go to?" Nangong Sirui asked.
"Of course it's Jialan." Wang Guanshu said.
Nangong Sirui nodded, put down the teacup, stood up, and walked out.
"Sorry to bother you, I'm going for a walk. See you later."
he said without looking back.
"Let's meet in Jialan," Wang Guanshu said.
Rumble——
The mountain walls close together.
Nangong Sirui returned to the sedan chair.
Several maids lifted the sedan and walked forward again.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion or what—
In short, when the sedan moved again this time, it was much faster than before.
We walked like this for more than twenty minutes.
Nangong Sirui's voice suddenly sounded in the sedan:
"Hello? Mom, are you buying supplies? Stop for a moment and find a quiet place to listen to me."
"No, I know that purchasing supplies is important, but my matter is more important."
"Okay, I'll wait for you - don't let others hear our conversation, otherwise we'll all be killed."
Waited for a few breaths.
His voice sounded again:
"Tell my grandfather not to interact with the Wang family in the future, and don't let anyone from their family enter our house."
"Well, yes, I saw Wang Guanshu."
"...It's pretty miserable."
"Yes, yes, you guessed it right."
The voice suddenly became urgent:
"Then what are you waiting for? Go see your grandfather now, hurry up!"
The phone hangs up.
The sedan still moved forward slowly.
After counting the interest.
Nangong Sirui's voice sounded again:
"Hello?"
"Hehe, what is my dear sister doing?"
"Doing Pilates? Well, at such a young age, you know how to keep in shape. It's really good - but my brother has something to tell you now. You should find a place where no one is around."
"If anyone hears our conversation, I will kill someone."
A few breaths passed.
Nangong Sirui's voice sounded again:
"Sister, do you still remember Wang Guanshu?"
"Yes, that's the guy who was the best when he was a kid, the guy who fought the hardest, had the longest snot every time, and was the most annoying guy."
"Remember?"
"...From now on, forget about him."
The voice paused for a while.
It seemed like the person on the other side was constantly talking about something.
Until more than ten breaths later.
Nangong Sirui's voice sounded again.
This time, he was no longer as cynical and gentle as before, but full of chilling meaning:
"Sister, I'm warning you, don't come near him again."
"I'll be honest with you."
"His soul has been so damaged by the gods that he doesn't even dare to take the exam because he will lose his mind at any time."
"...I saw your brother with my own eyes, that thing crawling on him."
"Understood?"
There was a sob coming from the phone.
A few more breaths passed.
"That's it...the world is no longer the same as before, and the gods of many families..."
"It can't be said."
"——It's so miserable. Even the people from those aristocratic families have lost their human reason and emotions."
"No, I can't save him."
"——Our Nangong family can only protect ourselves."
"Sister, stop talking."
"From now on, I hope you will become a warrior, not a young girl waiting to be married."
"This is my advice as an older brother."
The phone hangs up.
The sedan is still moving forward.
A moment.
A long sigh sounded from the sedan: "The tea was not poisoned, so I was embarrassed to kill him..."
"Hey, acquaintances are troublesome..."
