[Slow Wear] Assassin System

undercurrent

Miao Xuan sneaked into the Flower God Temple without a sound. After confirming that the priests and grandmothers were safe and sound except for a little shock, he was relieved.

The priests and grandmas are also getting older, and there has just been a fire in Ionia. Before leaving the capital and heading south, Miao Xuan specifically told them that no matter what happens to them, ensuring their own safety is the top priority.

The priestesses did the same, very cooperatively handing over their stocks to the state.

Although the priests and grandmothers didn't pay much attention to finances, and Miao Xuan himself didn't care much about the things outside of this world, but the Conqueror King's convulsive move came too suddenly.

After thinking about it, Miao Xuan decided to ask Atenai.

Unexpectedly, when he ran to the next door, he found that Athena was not in the forest temple, and the priestesses didn't know where their chief priest had gone, so Miao Xuan changed his way to the royal court.

Of course not directly to the King of Conquerors, but to Cornelia and Vibius.

It's been more than a month, and I don't know how Vibius is recovering.

Since the fire, Xiaobai has been having temper tantrums with Miao Xuan, lying in the forest temple every day and not going home. It was not until Miao Xuan returned after a month of running away that Bailu regained his previous clinginess.

Seeing Xiaobai like this, Miao Xuan felt a little worried. He was going to leave this world after all, and Xiaobai's lifespan was far from the end, so what would Xiaobai do when he left this world?

This silly deer has been raised by him to be delicate and lazy, it seems that he will have to grind it down in the future.

After entering the royal court, Miao Xuan went directly to Cornelia's bedroom. Vibius had been kept by Cornelia's side to take care of him since he was seriously injured.

"Mother, I'm back." Miao Xuan lifted the ubiquitous veil all the way, and when he arrived in the palace, he was stunned, "Neskesis?"

This is presumably the first time Cornelia's palace has welcomed this rare guest.

Neskhis was sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard. Opposite him was Cornelia, who was half leaning on the cushion, while Vibius was leaning on the stone pillar beside Cornelia with his arms crossed—it seemed He's almost recovered.

The three of them probably didn't expect that Miao Xuan would come at this time, and a gentle smile appeared on Cornelia's face immediately: "Mates, you are finally back! Is the clearing of the monsters going well?"

"Don't worry, it's going well." Miao Xuan lifted up his white cloak and came to Cornelia's side.

He frowned: "Vibius, you... haven't recovered yet?"

Miao Xuan took a closer look at Vibius' blood bars. Although his blood bars and blue bars were still not short, compared with those before the serious injury, they were each a bit less.

Severe injuries are not without sequelae, and the injuries can't be seen from the outside, but Vibius's situation obviously affects his lifespan... The blue bar is probably his power reserve?

Vibius's skin has returned to the healthiest state. Although his hair has been burnt off, there is still a market for short cuts in this era. Vibius' new hairstyle looks quite neat and handsome— —Of course, it's even worse.

"Me? I've recovered a long time ago." Vibius was indifferent, "It's just a burn, what do you think it's a big deal?"

Neskhis smiled: "Mathes also has a strong sense of vitality, and Athene also said that Vibius' power has been affected."

Cornelia began to wipe tears appropriately.

Miao Xuan: "Is Oluka still in the forbidden area now? Is his injury healed?"

Neskhis: "Already almost recovered, the rest only needs to rest."

Miao Xuan nodded and continued to ask: "What is the new decree? Why did the father think of the temple?"

Vibius sneered and remained silent, while Cornelia sighed.

Neskhis tapped lightly on the table with his knuckles: "Building a new Ionia is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is the most appropriate move for this season, but... the father is too arrogant .”

The saying that big fists are the last word is actually applicable in quite a few situations.

For example, in this primitive supernatural society of Parthia, the royal court has absolutely powerful power—the monarch and the temples, as well as the priests and priests with royal blood.

So the royal court with power has the capital to do whatever it wants.

No one would resist the king who conquered the temple's savings, and no one in Parthia dared to use force to resist the royal court.

And the increasingly arrogant monarch just understood this point and unscrupulously despised the dignity of the gods.

But he forgot that the current royal court is no longer the one that belonged to him a few years ago. His sons, who are better than each other, have already had their own ambitions. Now that they are full-fledged, they will run counter to him at any time.

The current Parthian royal court is a dangerous balance, and any movement of chips may bring about a huge collapse, and the new king's capital and the looting of the temple are the weights placed on this precarious balance.

In fact, everyone present understood this truth, but none of them stopped the King of Conquerors.

The most important reason is indeed that no one can stop the increasingly arrogant monarch now, but why don't you have other thoughts?

Maybe the layout was indeed started by Tieuliu, but at this stage, everyone who should be in the water has entered the water one after another.

Thinking of this, Miao Xuan couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. He picked up the cup in front of him to drink water, probably because the alcohol could not stimulate him mentally, so Miao Xuan preferred other alcoholic beverages that were more sweet and mellow. drinks.

The drinks in Cornelia's temple are all of this style.

"Does Mathes like this too?" Cornelia wiped away her tears and smiled softly, "I won't give you the maid who made tea for me, you should come here often."

Miao Xuan nodded copingly.

Cornelia: "Since Mattes is here today, then—"

"Mother!" Vibius suddenly interrupted her, turning to Xuanxuan and said, "Hey, you've figured things out anyway, and you can go back. Isn't your Flower Temple full of old, weak, sick and disabled? You always Set them up."

"Wes!" Cornelia scolded dissatisfiedly.

Neskhis also put down his water glass: "Mathes, go to the forbidden area if you have time. It's a disaster for Oluka and Kepurnia to be together... They will probably be silent for a long time."

System: [Brother Miao... Are Neskhis and Vibius driving you away? 】

Miao Xuan: ...Yes.

Cornelia, on the other hand, seemed desperate for him to stay.

Miao Xuan gave a muffled "Oh" and continued to drink water from the cup.

Vibius rubbed his forehead, sat down beside him politely, suddenly reached out and snatched the cup from his hand, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Neskhis: "!"

Miao Xuan: "Hey! If you want to drink, pour it yourself!"

After Vibius finished drinking, his eyebrows were all tangled together: "Why is it so sweet? What kind of flavor do you have?"

Miao Xuan: "It's not fun to drink anyway, what's wrong with a sweeter taste?"

The attribute of alcohol immunity is really useful, and Miao Xuan has poured down Vibius countless times by relying on it.

Vibius: "..."

Vibius threw the cup casually, and said seriously: "Hey, Mattes, since you didn't even build an army at the beginning, it's not your turn to worry about it now, don't pretend to be confused for me, I didn't like it before Are you walking around? Can't you just go anywhere these months?"

Neskhis: "Yeah, why not go to my Assassin..."

"The place that is so poor that no grass grows?" Vibius said unceremoniously, "You are not allowed to go to Assassius, Etrus and the forbidden place, didn't you grow up in the Temple of Flowers in Ilia? Never thought about going back?"

Neskhis said shamelessly: "There is also Binsa."

Miao Xuan: "..."

Cornelia's face froze... You guys are really enough.

"Then I'll go see the teacher and Oluka first." In the end, Miao Xuan got up and left. When he lifted the curtain, he thought about it and turned around, "No matter what, I'll call you brother."

After all, he didn't give the two of them a chance to answer, so he activated his skills and left.

-----

Cornelia watched Mathes leave like this, and turned suddenly to look at her son and stepson, those same deep purple eyes were dim.

"Why didn't you agree to him?" Cornelia asked back, "Mathes will not be weaker than the two of you, and isn't he more secure?"

Vibius stood up with folded arms again: "What... If you have to ask him to help with this kind of thing, then my brother is too inferior."

Neskhis didn't speak, he smiled and picked up the cup to drink water.

Cornelia stared at them fixedly, and sighed after a long time: "You guys, how can you promise me that Atenai will not intervene? If Atenai is here..."

Vibius loosened his muscles and bones: "Mother! Trust your son more or less! So what if there is Athena?"

Neskhis calmly analyzed: "Atenai will not allow Tieuliu to trample on human life like this. As far as I know, they are not too far away from breaking up."

"And your father..." Cornelia still frowned, "Be careful, even the old lion king, his counterattack can make people despair."

Vibius: "I know this, you should be careful and do what you can."

Neskhis put down his small wine glass: "Then I'll go first, thank you so much."

Cornelia smiled politely, while Vibius turned around and walked into the hall without even wanting to say goodbye, turning his back to him and saying, "No."

Neskhis didn't mind at all.

Since Oluka entered the forbidden area, although he still has a sunny and bold style, Vibius' attitude towards him has become less and less friendly...

Vibius's perception has always been keen, and he probably noticed the change in his mood.

Outside the queen's palace is the most beautiful garden in the entire royal court, where colorful birds shuttle among the flowers. Standing here, Neskhis could no longer see the back of Mathes leaving.

Who knows if the "burning fire" is a prophecy?It is not impossible to fake it, after all, what is really scary is the human heart, not the gods.

Neskhis sighed softly.

As for the "white lotus returning to the embrace of God", it is even more nonsense. How could someone have the ability to take his life from the royal court?Not even the gods can.

His teaming up with Vibius already made Sigma unhappy, right?But it doesn't matter, when the dust settles, he can go and confess... Anyway, Sigma always has nothing to do with his stalking.

It has been almost three years since they met for the first time... It is time to get to know each other.

Although it is very beastly to attack your own brother, everything has a price!

Neskhis thought so shamelessly again.

He walked out of the palace along the colorful path, but in just a few dozen days, there was no trace of the fire in the royal court. Looking at the spring scenery in the garden, Neskhis couldn't help but think of the scene outside the royal court. scorched earth.

When he was very young, he understood that this world is such that the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and time can always smooth everything... But ah,

Is the victory obtained by any means really a victory?

The author has something to say:

*In fact, Brother Miao has blocked Dian Dian and Oluka's death once each.Brother Miao never thought of hurting Brother Miao, one is because Brother Miao stands firmly in neutral, and the attitude camp handles it well, not blocking his way; the other is... emmmmm... How can a man have no idea? !

If the eldest brother can take the throne, he may not be a good monarch. Whether he is managing his own sea area or handling Ionian government affairs, he has actually done a good job; it's just that his goals are too clear. The lives of ordinary people and his goals It is too light in weight.
