[Slow Wear] Assassin System

winter snow field

"A free life is really desirable... I hope I can let my little Liaosha have a comfortable childhood."

Twenty-five years ago, the elderly Empress Lyudmila II held her newborn grandson and said this to Prince Saltykov.

The old man's eyes are no longer as clear as they were when she was young. Her eyes are only cloudy ice blue, and she can vaguely see the beauty of her youth. Her long hair, which was once dazzling like melting silver, has become dull. The paleness makes people infinitely feel the cruelty of the years.

"God have mercy, let me watch this child grow up."

The old queen was very old, but she waited for her grandson before she died, the joy made her smile, the dead tree was spring, when she stuck to the baby's immature face, the baby also laughed, this child was born to be good Tempered, seldom cries, and his grandmother is reflected in the same blue eyes.

Except for the years, their eyes are exactly the same.

……

"I want to live freely, but it must be impossible."

Twenty years ago, Ivan IV said so to Prince Saltykov.

The tsar has an extraordinary handsome appearance and a naive heart. His coquettish and unrestrained style made him highly praised when he was still a prince, but his kindness and recklessness also made him repeatedly resisted after he became emperor.

Ivan IV couldn't wait to start the reform two years after he ascended the throne. One year after the gooseberry reform was implemented, the nobles rebelled, and Ivan IV barely suppressed the grievances of the noble class. At that time, Saar Duke Tikov is his most trusted assistant.

"I don't want to be this tsar." Ivan IV said romantically, his blue eyes shining brightly under the crystal lights of the Kremlin, "I should go to the Volga Galaxy to encounter cosmic whales, or dream under the aurora of the Siberian star." Aurora, not here, to carry out reforms in this cold palace - alas, these great nobles are really annoying."

For another three years, the noble alliance rebelled, and Prince Saltykov strangled the romantic monarch who did not want to be the tsar.

……

How old is that child—the eldest grandson of the old empress Lyudmila II, the eldest son of Olga and Ivan IV, if he is alive?

25 years old, just the right age.

Prince Saltykov was as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He was staring at the young man's face. The young man caught his gaze, so he turned his head and looked at him.

Winter Snowfield, this is the color of the royal family of Ursus. There are indeed countless people with silver hair and blue eyes in the star field of Ursus, but their silver hair will never be so flawless, and their blue eyes will never be so flawless. So clear.

This is the face!It is this face that gathers the outstanding characteristics of three generations of tsars!

The eyes and forehead are exactly the same as those of Lyudmila II, gentle and comfortable; coupled with the lips and nose belonging to Ivan IV, they are handsome and compelling; and Olga's jaw and cheekbones are beautiful and firm.

Alexei - Lyudmila II gave his eldest grandson this name, which means the guardian of Ursus, and the adoptive father of this young man also gave him this title, as if it was fate, maybe the Lord wrote it long ago Well, everyone's home.

... Some people will never change their name no matter what they go through.

And in front of this handsome and tall Alexei, his son, his Vova, and his black-haired and green-eyed Vladimir are like a joke in the Ursus royal family!

This is dwarfed by comparison, the difference between clouds and mud—is there any more magnificent scenery and more noble characters in Ursus than the winter snow field? !

there is none left!

Prince Saltykov smiled, as if expressing his appreciation to the young star hunter, but only he himself knew how shocked and terrified he was at this moment.

No... Maybe it's just a coincidence... The kid who should have died in the plane crash is still alive - how old was he at that time?Even Empress Lyudmila was killed, and he could not have survived.

He wanted to test the young man's genetic material.

Prince Saltykov subconsciously grasped his pocket watch. In this small thing that was completely used for decoration, a strand of Empress Olga's hair was stored, which was the testimony and remnant of their deep love.

And Vowa too—to see if they were brothers.

"Young people, freedom and rights go hand in hand. The life of a star hunter is not freedom, it is precarious." General Potemkin loudly denied the theory of freedom, and he said bluntly, "Of course, young people will have Such and such a romantic idea, but one must learn to grow in life, if you join the army, your future is limitless."

"Thank you, General, for your appreciation, but I am not a well-behaved soldier, and he can't afford military affairs..."

This time it was Xuan An who spoke, and he tapped Miao Xuan's arm lightly with his crutches, with a look of distaste: "This kid can't stand restraint, our dandies in the Eight Banners all have this virtue."

The Eight Banners, the aristocratic inheritance of the Dragon Kingdom.

General Potemkin was curious when he heard this: "This is the first time I've heard that a son of a nobleman from the Dragon Kingdom came to Ursus to be an interstellar hunter, and this kid is your grandson? He looks too much like us Ursus Oh, the color of the eyes and hair is so pure, it doesn't look like a mixed race at all."

Xuan An naturally ignored the previous sentence, and only answered the latter: "Alexey is my son... adopted son, I picked it up."

Yoshiko... picked it up.

When Prince Saltykov heard this, his heart sank again.

Since he can't recruit talents, General Potemkin won't let his status make it difficult for others. Although he looks down on Star Hunter, he has always appreciated people with high force value.

General Potemkin nodded: "Okay, then I will settle the accounts for you first. Do you need a pass?"

It was Xuan'an's favorite part of settling accounts again. Miao Xuan obediently stepped forward to exchange bills with General Potemkin's adjutant. They had already prepared all the passes, so there was no need to waste any more time.

You can leave directly after the final payment is credited.

Seeing that his deal was about to end, Vladimir finally couldn't help but took a step forward: "Alexey, are you leaving?"

"Why don't you... stay a few more days? It's not safe outside of Kazan right now."

Miao Xuan smiled at him and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, we are going to the territory of Ursas, and we will not pass through the war universe."

Vladimir didn't care about the name anymore, he bit his lower lip: "But there are also remnants of interstellar pirates and rebel forces hiding around."

Xuan An said quietly: "Your Highness, please don't worry, these dangers will not threaten us."

"But it's not without risk, is it?"

It was Duke Saltykov who came out of the crowd with an unfamiliar voice, and he said gently: "You saved Vova, my teacher, I haven't had time to thank you well, why don't you stay for another week, after a week, this star field It will be clean, and you will be able to leave smoothly by then."

"Teacher!" Vladimir didn't expect his always proud teacher to speak out in support of him. He smiled in surprise and immediately followed up, "Yes, Alexei stay a few more days? You don't even want to join the army, Maybe we won’t have the chance to meet again in the future.”

Both the duke and the prince had spoken, inviting star hunters who were not even considered poor.

Xuan An patted the back of Miao Xuan's hand, and stopped the adoptive son who wanted to refuse to accept him: "In this case, then we will be disrespectful."

-----

Star Hunter's starship is temporarily staying at Kazan Port, and tonight there will be a banquet in Kazan Port to welcome the returning prince.

Vladimir wanted to stay with Alexei, but Prince Saltykov would not allow him to do so. Soon, the people on the port left with their princes, princes and generals. Ordinary soldiers and staff remained.

The two interstellar hunters refused the routine inspection at the port and returned to their starship. Miao Xuan quietly abducted his father and whispered in the language of Dragon Kingdom: "Father, that Saltyco The Duke of Husband has a problem."

Xuan An snorted: "How do you say?"

Miao Xuan was very frank: "I think he wants to kill us... for reasons I don't know."

Prince Saltykov, target two, red dot.

"You have a good intuition, and you have discovered it." Xuan An smiled, and the old god was there, "So, the task of escorting the dignitaries is to end the trouble, the duke will not cause trouble for no reason, he is targeting you—— we We need to find out why."

The top aristocrats and star hunters, these two classes will never meet under normal circumstances, and Duke Saltykov's attitude does not seem to be dealing with strangers, even though Xuan Xin and Xuan An have never met each other. over him.

Xuan'an had already discovered the clues, the eyes of the Duke Saltykov staring at Thaksin reminded him of the meteorite hidden in the space channel, which was a deadly trap that the starship could not guard against.

Xuan An closed the hatch of the starship: "If there is any problem, it can only be your life experience. When I found you, you were only two years old, lying in the baby's rescue cabin, and you looked stupid, but you The rescue cabin in your cabin is only available to nobles, and it’s about the same as the Prince of Moscow’s—but I couldn’t find out your identity at all back then.”

At this moment, Miao Xuan seemed to be able to hear the sound effect of "ding" in the game. According to the routine of the game, some task of hiding his identity should start.

This description sounds like a bloodbath, and a series of conspiracy theories quickly ran through Miao Xuan's mind.

Xuan'an's crutches swung furiously: "Seven days is seven days, your father and I are not afraid of them playing tricks, but we must find some clues in these few days, at least we must know your general life experience, so as to save future troubles." Being hunted down for no apparent reason, understand?"

Miao Xuan immediately expressed his attitude: "Understood."

Xuan'an reminded: "Your exoskeleton is not allowed to lower your body these days, and the dresses you will use are only allowed to be taken from our starship, and the armor-penetrating gun is carried with you, and you are ready to return to the starship at any time."

Miao Xuan: "Father, you also wear an exoskeleton, right? We still have three sets on board..."

Xuan'an has been in the universe for many years, of course there are many high-quality exoskeletons stored on the starship, but the one with the best material and effect is the one worn by Miao Xuan.

But Xuan An is really too old. This set of exoskeleton and armor-penetrating gun can only exert the strongest combat effectiveness in the hands of Miao Xuan. Both of them know this well.

"Your father's body can no longer bear the exoskeleton for a long time, I will try to stay on the starship as much as possible, and I still have these little things, don't worry." Xuan'an pointed to his cane and wrench, "This time The collection of information mainly depends on you, and I will guard the starship."

Miao Xuan nodded: "Leave it to me"

The small system has also spoken enthusiastically in the sea of ​​consciousness. This world is a highly informationized era, and it can't wait to help his brother Miao.

With the system in place, the capture of information flow will not be a problem... Just plug him into the network port of Kazan tonight.

The general invitation list for the dinner has been handed over to each participant, and the adjutant of the general also sent a picture to Miao Xuan. The most important are the senior officers in the army, the royal guards, and the nobles who have their lands on Kazan.

Miao Xuan turned from the back to the front, and finally turned to the first page: "Hey, the mission of the Dragon Kingdom?"

Xuan An leaned over: "Let me take a look."

This is just a rough list, and the detailed information of the Dragon Kingdom Mission has not been announced, but just looking at its ranking second only to General Potemkin, it is known that the status of the mission is not low.

Miao Xuan: "The imperial envoy should be a disciple of the Eight Banners of the Dragon Kingdom? Father, or you—"

"I won't go." Xuan An took a step back, coughed a few times and interrupted his son's suggestion, "Go by yourself, be careful."

-----

The dinner has begun.

In this interstellar era, there are more and more types of social occasions for people, and the more high-class people are, the more particular they are. The complicated clothing and links are enough to make laymen confused. In addition to flaunting their identity and expressing etiquette, the main reason is leisure. panic.

Miao Xuan didn't care about this, he changed into a simple dress and only showed basic respect.

The fashion of the aristocrats followed closely the trend of the royal family, but now the fashion of the royal family is the retro and magnificent skirts and skirts. The ladies at the banquet undoubtedly dress themselves like this, with huge skirts of various colors to set off their upper bodies. Petite and exquisite, low-cut dresses and various necklaces and neck rings set off their slender and white necks and shoulders.

When these ladies come together, it's a living painting.

As for men... men's clothes are not much better, except for soldiers, noble men only wear long robes without the big skirts, and some even wear more gemstones than women's skirts, making people dazzled.

Miao Xuan saw a lot of big-breasted brothers in embroidered robes at a glance, and felt that his chest was blocked by a breath.

Miao Xuan thought, fortunately, he is not from aristocratic background in this world - no, this is really hard to say.

Just by looking at the social status of Goal [-] and Goal [-], it can be inferred that the concealment of modeling this time may be a very troublesome identity.

The system has been plugged into the port by him, and Duke Saltykov's terminal will be the focus of monitoring by the small system, and Miao Xuan will surely receive a complete report soon.

"Alexey!"

The young man's joyful voice came from behind.

Miao Xuan turned around and saw Vladimir as expected. The little prince also changed into a royal dress, which was more expensive than Man Ping's brother. He was much more eye-catching in this suit, with a kind of indisputable delicacy. Feeling... It also makes him look younger.

Miao Xuan smiled: "His Royal Highness."

There were quite a few people staring at Vladimir in the banquet hall. After all, this was His Royal Highness the Prince of Ursus, and apart from dignitaries who were always paying attention to the future tsar, Miao Xuan also found many hidden treasures from his small map. The defense force, including His Excellency the Duke who is hiding in the corner of the second floor.

This Prince Saltykov is really a responsible teacher.

Vladimir pursed his lips. He didn't like Alexei using honorific titles to him, but he didn't want to make any more requests. He thought a little aggrievedly, since you don't want to have a deep friendship with me, then I don't want to talk to you anymore. .

But Alexei will be gone in a few days... These Star Hunters live everywhere, maybe they will never have the chance to meet again.

Miao Xuan saw the familiar red and green bouncing on the map again, and felt a headache. He has a task tonight, and he wants to figure out the hidden identity of this model.

The little prince also looked like he didn't know the truth at all, and he must have a monitoring device on him, so he couldn't say anything to him.

Miao Xuan thought, maybe he should talk to the captain of the royal guard or General Potemkin?After all, they are not strangers anymore, maybe they can go directly to test Prince Saltykov... No, he will easily startle the snake without knowing anything, and wait for news from the small system first.

After receiving no response for a long time, Vladimir took a deep breath, and the inner struggle came to a conclusion. He said aggrievedly: "Alexey..."

Only then did Miao Xuan realize that he was distracted again in front of the little prince: "Yes?"

"Didn't you promise me to call me 'Vova'?" A blush climbed up Vladimir's side face, he was a little embarrassed, turned his face away in a concealed manner, and looked at the drinks on the table behind him, "This, this juice tastes very good."

Miao Xuan saw the buffet on the white tablecloth, the purple irises dotted the glass tower, and the glass contained a light yellow drink.

Glass... that's right!You can also use this test.

Miao Xuan smiled, took a glass, and took a sip from the rim: "After all, our identities are still different, and we may not meet again in the future, but if it's just a personal relationship... Delicious, thanks Vowa."

Vladimir was coaxed, he turned to Miao Xuan again, his green eyes reflected the bright lights: "The envoys from the Dragon Kingdom are coming soon, I'm going to meet them, do you want to come with me? You You can come and be my interpreter."

Miao Xuan drank the drink in the glass in a few sips, and then put the empty glass on the recycling tray: "Okay, my pleasure."
