[Slow Wear] Assassin System

兄弟

Balder sent his mother back to her bedroom, and personally urged the mother who was on the verge of collapse to drink the soothing herbs, and only left the dark room after she passed out.

"Your Majesty, do you need a court doctor to take a look?" the maid Kaisha asked in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, the Empress Dowager, has never been so sad... Is it because of the former king?"

"You don't need to find a doctor. Let mother rest well first. If she still feels unwell after waking up, mother—" Bardleton changed her words after a pause, "she indeed remembered some sad memories... you wait first. Follow her."

The maid took the order and returned respectfully to the Queen Mother's room.

Baldr walked to the door, and when he opened the bedroom door, he still couldn't help but look back.

His mother was lying weakly on the big plain bed, tears could still be seen faintly on her pale face, even though she was as beautiful as ever, there were fine lines at the end of her eyes.

When he was young, his father was very strict with him, but his mother was blindly doting on him, so his father forbade his mother to interfere with his education, and he was not allowed to stay in his mother's bedroom for too long.

However, in memory, the mother's palace is the place where Balder relaxes the most. There are no external troubles here, only the mother's smile...

It has been a long time since Balder observed his mother's face so carefully. His mother always gave him a smile and tenderness, but this time she shed tears of pain.

Even the head maid, Kaisha, entered the palace when he was five years old, and has been with his mother ever since. She didn't know why the mistress was sad, and she didn't dare to ask in detail. She could only worry silently...Kasha She was also a lively and smiling woman when she was young, but now she has the most serious face among all the court maids.

He Baldr suddenly remembered her mother's usual activities every year - every six months she would go back to Bolun's house for a few days, and now it seems that this is not considered a short stay, but to visit the house through the channel of Bolen's house people……

His mother's return to his natal family has been very regular since he could remember. Before, he had subconsciously ignored this point. Looking at it now, he could clearly see the shadow of his father's acquiescence.

This was the secret they kept from him—an unacceptable twin brother to his fellow man.

In the dark realm, those tacit understandings, those similarities, those tacit cooperation... everything has the best explanation.

Balder slowly walked out of his mother's bedroom, and Sullivan had been waiting outside the palace for a long time.

"Your Majesty!" He held a scroll with the imprint of the academy in his hand, "Your order has been issued in the academy, and the bachelors are arguing. The final conclusion cannot be easily drawn, but the opinions of both parties have been collected. .”

Balder took the scroll he handed over, but didn't open it to read it. He didn't need to read it to know what these disputes were, and his intuition had already given him the answer.

The solar disk brought by the dark remnants—this is a very arbitrary decision, but at this time, who cares about calm analysis and active verification?

Sullivan was not the only one waiting outside the queen mother's palace. Ministers and advisors from various distributions had been waiting for a long time.

Even though the young king has just finished his border patrol, he doesn't have much time to be alone. Countless affairs are waiting for his decision-making and processing. too much.

The scroll twirled in Baldur's hand and handed it to Sullivan: "Let's go...go to the prayer room of the Holy See first."

Sullivan took the scroll and was stunned: "Your Majesty, but this—"

"Don't worry, put the scroll in my study. As for the matter of the academy, we will go to the academy to discuss it tomorrow." Baldr had already turned around and accepted the list that was handed over by an attendant.

Sullivan bowed his head subconsciously: "Yes!"

Baldr strode towards the outside of the palace, and the attendants huffed and followed behind him.

Next, he is going to meet pure priests. These people are just people who bear the priesthood and ignore secular government affairs. They are responsible for the thought of accepting fate, and they are a group purely loyal to the royal family, which is very important.

And it was the great pilgrimage day, and new talented children were selected, and they would become the new blood of knights and mages.

In fact, these tasks belong to the entire royal family, and not all must be completed by the monarch, but the queen mother is not competent, and everything still has to be carried by Balder.

The once huge royal family has also withered to the point where it is now.

Being busy is indeed the best way to let people stop thinking about it, but physical fatigue will not eliminate mental fatigue.

After finishing his tasks non-stop all day, Balder walked slowly in the corridor surrounded by flowers, listening to the evening bell ringing in the church, he pushed back the attendants and entered the study alone.

The scroll was placed in the most conspicuous place by the door. When Balder opened it, what he saw was no different from what he had guessed.

Time to make a decision...

Waiting for the two factions in the academy to decide a winner?That is the moment chosen by the dullest of kings.

The long scroll is full of words, all of which are the mutual attacks of the two factions. The radical minority believes that history has been deceived and myths have been tampered with, and the saint who can bring the sun is the dark remnant; Refusing to believe the translations of these tablets, they firmly believe that the interpretation, and even the tablets, are at fault.

Balder was almost amused by these things, and then he really laughed out loud.

Look, these people are still talking about the tradition in the debate. None of them have seen the sun disk about to fall in St. Amber, and none of them have touched the innocent people waiting to die.

Starting tomorrow—he first wants to stop the burning of black people and the drowning of newborn babies, and secondly, to ease the conflict...and the education of the next generation of knights and mages...

In any case, regardless of whether the Dark Remnants are saints or not, and whether they were really abandoned by the God of Light, Baldr decided to do this.

He walked behind the long table and rolled up the scroll. This is nothing to behold, but the mainstream voice in the academic world still needs to be guided and controlled—wait a minute, what is this! ?

Baldr's attention finally focused on the table, where there was a book turned upside down. The cover was the one he was most familiar with. It was the booklet he recorded the topography of the Dark Territory.

The pamphlet had been sitting on the table since his return from St. Laurent, untouched.

The guards have been waiting outside the door, no one can enter his bondage, and the only way to enter the study is without alerting the knights... Who is it?

It's possible, is it him?

Baldr knew that this was the field of light, but his first reaction was still that person. He seemed to be able to hear the increasingly rapid heartbeat in his chest, and he reached out and flipped through the manual.

There is a note under the manual, with his most familiar handwriting on it: [When the morning bell rings, see you at the Sun Wheel Sacred Pavilion]

Balder dropped the book and got up abruptly.

It's him, it's really him.

He also saw the stele, he knew the interpretation and guessed the truth.

At this moment, Balder's mind was blank, and his heart was filled with extremely complicated emotions.

Guilt, sadness, helplessness, fear... and a little bit of joy, no matter what, he came to him.

They were separated when they were just born, and that child, who was so young, had to live alone in the dark, dyed his hair white, disguised his pupils, disguised himself to show up under the sun, lived in no fixed place and had no place to live. Belonging, how did he grow up?He can come and go freely in the dark, with such a good skill, what has he experienced?

After all these years, he—has a grudge?Resenting his parents for abandoning him, hating his ignorant and over-lucky elder brother?

St. Loren's memories flooded Balder's mind, and the young man with the sharp knife seemed to appear in front of him again.

Fortunately, he still feels "familiar", what familiar?Their eyebrows and eyes are clearly the same, maybe they should have been one person, he and him were conceived in the arms of their mother, and hugged each other to be born.

Literally—like his missing other half.

-----

The morning bell rang.

Miao Xuan turned on his invisibility and wandered to the tower of the Holy Pavilion, climbing up the outer wall.

The towering towers are full of guarding knights and mages, but there is no one on the tall towers, and all the security forces are deliberately controlled at the lower floors.

No, it should be said... there is only one person.

The tall man stood under the sun with his back to Miao Xuan. He looked down at His Excellency's city. This figure, who had always been the focus of everyone, seemed extremely lonely at this moment.

Miao Xuan revoked his invisibility behind him; "I kept you waiting."

Baldr turned around immediately, his face was a bit dignified, the golden light of the sun was jumping on his eyes and blond hair, bright and bright.

Miao Xuan saw his own reflection in these eyes, he smiled, and took off his cloak and mask on his own initiative - at this moment, there is no need for any camouflage, he even covered the flakes of Friggian stone that covered his eyes. None of them.

Baldr looked at Miao Xuan in a daze, looking at this brother with the same facial features as him, he was speechless for a long time.

That familiar and strange feeling reappeared after breaking through the disguise. At this moment, he really had an illusion—the years he spent alone were all false, and his real life was actually missing a part, and This half did not appear until now.

Looking at the young king's eyes, Miao Xuan understood everything.

"It seems that you already know about me." No need to explain anymore let Miao Xuan understand. He had never dealt with this kind of parental matter, so he said without sincerity, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but I There are things that have to be done.”

"No!" Baldr interrupted him abruptly, as if he was afraid of Miu Xuan's misunderstanding, he hastily added, "It's not to disturb——Mother told me about you, I never knew before that if I could..."

His speaking speed is getting faster and faster, successfully revealing the tension under his seemingly calm appearance: "I have decided to stop the persecution of the dark remnants, prohibiting burning and expulsion..."

The system sighed with emotion: [Brother Miao, this time Target [-] treats you very well, it's a little bit greener, I thought you guys were going to fight first. 】

Miao Xuan: It's okay... I have a good impression of him.

Baldr, who understood the truth, seemed to have the upper hand because of guilt, and he had naturally entered into the uneasy state of "reunion with my brother after a long absence", but what he said——

"It's useless." Miao Xuan said directly, "Blood feud cannot be resolved in more than ten years."

Now that Baldr is in the stage of emotional fluctuations, Miao Xuan directly dominates the rhythm of the dialogue. His original acceptance and perception of feelings are not at the normal threshold. An emotionally entangled relative...

Miao Xuan: Don't ask, asking is self-inflicted.

Baldr was taken aback, and subconsciously clenched his fists. He has always been praised for his leadership talent and kingly eloquence. This is the first time he feels that he is clumsy: "Please believe me, I can do it."

"I trust you." Miao Xuan couldn't help smiling, and then said seriously, "I just don't agree with your way, which will easily intensify the conflict."

Balder was stunned. In the dark realm, this person had always been silent and cold, wandering on the boundary between light and darkness, with an ambiguous attitude. This was the first time he saw this person smile.

It's not that cold...

He obviously had the same face, and he was the elder brother who was born first, but Baldr somehow felt that at this moment he was the one who was tolerated.

What happened to his younger brother?In so many years?

Miao Xuan couldn't understand Baldur's bitterness, he tried his own solution: "I have a way to ease the conflict and then solve it...but it will take a long time and your help..."

He paused: "I have a way to make the sun rise again."

"What did you say?" Baldr was shocked, "The sun...rises?"

Miao Xuan pointed to his forehead: "The seeds of the sun wheel are on me."

Baldr was almost speechless: "So... are you a saint?"

Miao Xuan admitted: "According to the statement on the stone tablet, yes."

Obviously raising the sun is Baldr's lifelong wish, but at this time his heart is unprecedentedly calm, he asked: "What conditions are needed - it is very difficult for the sun to rise, right? What price do you need to pay?" ?do you know?"

Baldr's first reaction was not joy but worry, which made the system feel good about the second target: [I still know how to ask... Brother Miao, you can save him. 】

Miao Xuan shook his head: "I'm just a lifter. It's the Sun Wheel Cloud Pool that really breeds the Sun Wheel."

"The Sun Wheel Cloud Pool... so it is it!" Baldr suddenly realized, "The Sun Wheel Cloud Pool is at the bottom of this tower!"

Finally getting straight to the point, Miao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said directly: "I need you to take me there."

According to Miao Xuan's next vision, making suggestions should be followed by negotiating costs and benefits. He still has many follow-up arrangements, and negotiating is required to let people operate according to his rules.

However, he is now an angel investor who brought the Sun Wheel to the St. Lumir Empire. Baldr, the lord of a country, should take the initiative to make a plan...

But it never occurred to him that Baldr's focus was not on these matters at all.

"After letting the sun rise, will you stay?" He raised his head, his golden eyes shining brightly under the sun, "Mother...I miss you very much, I don't need to hide myself anymore, I will let everyone People know that there is another member of the royal family, I...we are proud of you."

The young king issued a sincere invitation: "Stay? Stay with us in the palace."

The author has something to say:

Brother Miao (putting down the script): No, no appointment

There was a clear laugh from the audience watching the film crew.
