Mysteries

Neia's memory of Van Riel still stays in "Vulcan burns Van Riel, and the capital of the Kandin Empire is burned". When she saw the new and prosperous streets, she was still a little dazed.There is a thriving scene in Van Riel City, the residents live and work in peace and contentment, and there are no traces of the aftermath of the disaster.

And his impression of Ciro is still that of the arrogant, indifferent and defiant senior he saw at the St. Padres Academy of Magic. Who would have thought that he would stand up and help the Kandin Empire when it was most critical? , set things right, and keep the centuries-old foundation of the empire?

He was suddenly curious about what it would be like for Xi Luo to become the youngest wise monarch recognized by Dreamland, and how he and Suo Suo, who was as pure as a sheet of paper, became the empress envied by everyone in Dreamland?

Neia didn't stay at St. Padres Academy of Magic for a long time, but it was the best experience he had after being cursed by the God of Slaughter, Ston. When he recalled it, he couldn't help but smile a little.

Harvey watched coldly, with an unhappy expression on his face.

The carriage suddenly bumped up, up and down, and stumbled.

Neia poked her head out of the car window, and there was a flat and straight road in front and behind: "..."

Harvey said: "Variel's most famous attraction is the Royal Palace, do you want to see it?"

……

Even if it is a scenic spot, tourists are not allowed to enter.

Ning Ya said: "Look at the appearance." When he was in the academy, he didn't have much contact with Soso, and his impression was always on Dilling's little follower, but after leaving the academy, he only missed St. Padres. Second to Langzan, even the people who passed by in the academy, he still misses, for the beauty of that overlap.But the premise is that he will not cause trouble for the other party.Although Harvey can't be equated with trouble, he can't be equated with it either.

Harvey said, "That's just for one look."

Neia asked, "Why?"

Harvey said: "Recently, the Kandin Empire is very poor, and the palace has shrunk a lot. Just look at the appearance, and you can see it at a glance."

Neia: "..."

While speaking, the carriage had arrived in front of the palace.

The Imperial Palace under the sun is magnificent and majestic. Although, as Harvey said, it is not as big as he imagined, the design and construction are well-designed, majestic and unique.

He pointed to the buildings on both sides of the palace: "What is that?" It was built on the side of the palace, and it was at odds with the style of the palace.

Harvey said: "I heard that the emperor sold these lands for the reconstruction of the capital."

Neia: "..."

Harvey said: "However, one of them is a museum and the other is a library. They are still under the jurisdiction of the emperor. The merchants who bought the land not only did not make any money, but also paid a lot of money to serve the people."

Neia said, "But they have earned respect."

Harvey sneered: "Now I know how they consoled themselves."

The carriage circled around the palace, and then stopped in front of a house not far from the palace.

Harvey helped Neia get out of the car, looked down at Harvey's feet, and muttered, "You are suitable for wearing a high-waisted dress."

Neia: "..." One of them was going crazy.Either Harvey, or himself.

"I got an invitation to the prom that said I was going with my girlfriend," Harvey said.

Ning Ya said: "It requires a female companion, not a skirt. Even if I wear a hundred skirts, I can't change my true gender."

Harvey said: "People are superficial most of the time. Did I tell you about Hayden Nafist, the love story between the Marshal of the Empire who took pleasure in beating the face of the God of Light and his Necromancer? When he was chasing after that necromancer, he was still wearing women's clothes. Of course, I won't let this happen to you." Whoever dares to have ill intentions on his baby, he will let them all go to hell.

Neia asked, "What dance?"

Harvey said: "The ball celebrating the defeat of the God of Light. Why are you looking at me like this?"

Ning Ya asked, "Don't you control the Society of Light?" Why did you gloat over the news of its defeat.

Harvey said: "Playing and hating are not contradictory."

The word "playing" stimulated Neia's nerves.Harvey's attitude towards him was too frivolous, making him always feel that he was playing with him.He said: "This kind of dance should be able to attend without a companion." For a while, he lost his interest and couldn't find his position.

When he was in Langzan, he was the little prince.

At the St. Padres, he was the caller who carried Longzan's expectations.

When he was in Dongguimo, he was a prisoner.

When he was in the God of Light, he was an insider who was looking for a way to save mankind.

But now, he doesn't know who he is.

The pet of the Dark God?

The traveling companion of the dark god?

Or, a moving and talking toy?

It should be all of the above.

He is used to suppressing his emotions. Although he was depressed, he didn't show it on his face. He turned his head and looked at the house: "Are we staying here tonight?"

Harvey pushed open the iron door and led him in. "It's not just tonight, you can stay as long as you want. Van Riel's house and land sales are in full swing, of course I should contribute."

Neia was very curious whether the owner on the real estate certificate of this house said Harvey, a professional dark god.

Harvey led him to a brief tour, and then led him into the hostess' room.

"This is a connecting room. My room is next door. I won't lock the door in the middle." Harvey raised his eyebrows at him, "Night raids are always welcome."

Neia studied the door lock: "How should it be locked?"

Harvey gnawed at his hair: "Honey, you're just too uncute sometimes."

Neia was used to being gnawed by him, and she still lowered her head to study the door lock until she figured it out.

"There are clothes for the prom in the closet, tell me after you choose, and I will make us the best dance partners tonight." Harvey winked at him.

Neia closed the door and locked it before turning back to her room and opening the closet.

The moment he opened it, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, for fear of seeing a closet of dresses. Fortunately, Harvey was unreliable in his words, but he acted reasonably. The suits were all men's clothing, and he compared the sizes, and they were all men's clothes. just.

He didn't pick and choose. He took out a black dress from among the colorful fabrics, and looked at the style. The rich Candin Empire style seemed simple, but the details were complicated.He matched it with a white silk shirt, and was about to try it out when he took off his shirt, when he felt something staring at his back, slowly heating up.He suddenly turned around, and saw Harvey leaning against the door with one hand in his pocket, looking at him with a smile.

Neia immediately pulled her clothes together and buttoned them.

"Pick this one?" Harvey said, "Then I'll be busy tonight."

Neia froze for a moment, her face turned a little red, her eyes dodged and drooped down.

Harvey said: "Many conservative people will choose this color. In order to prevent you from hitting the shirt, I have to peel off their clothes one by one. This will consume a lot of dancing time."

"..." Neia slowly raised her head, her face had returned to normal, and she said flatly, "Black will not be rude."

Harvey said, "Yeah, it's decent to attend a funeral."

Neia: "..."

Harvey walked up to him, pinching his chin gently with his fingers: "Are you angry?"

Neia said, "No." If he was going to be angry about such a trivial matter, he would have died of anger long ago.

Harvey rubbed his thumb lightly: "I'm actually very happy."

The rubbed chin seemed to be on fire, and the heat spread all the way to the back of the ear.Neia tilted her head back slightly, and was wrapped around the back of her neck again.

Harvey said: "Black is the color that suits you best."

Neia wanted to argue, but her lips were pressed.

Harvey said: "Didn't you choose it at a glance? Among so many clothes of different colors, only black hits your heart."

Neia blinked her eyes, recalling that when she opened the closet and saw the row of colorful colors, she saw this black set at a glance...

Harvey said: "Admit it, your head is still struggling, but your heart has sunk into darkness."

……

There are so many reds, blues, greens, and yellows, but the uniqueness of black is naturally set off.Moreover, its location is very good, right in the middle, if it were someone else, the first thing they would see would be this black dress.

Neia didn't expose it, but said vaguely, "When does the dance start?"

Harvey said: "At seven o'clock in the evening, we can take another look at the Imperial Palace before going. Maybe we can meet the Queen's car just in time."

Neia swallowed, and Harvey immediately said, "I'm just talking. If you act too expectantly, I will be jealous."

Neia: "..." I've known Harvey for so long, and my ears are already callused by names like baby and dear, but this is the first time I've been jealous.Jealousy comes from jealousy, and jealousy comes from possessiveness... He forbade himself to think about it.He was already standing on the edge of the cliff, with one foot in the quicksand, if he tilted his body down again, he would definitely fall into the abyss, beyond redemption.

Fortunately, Harvey, as usual, clicked and stopped, and did not chase after him.

At night, Harvey sent him some snacks, let him fill his stomach a little, and then took a carriage to... the Imperial Palace.

The gate of the palace was lined up with carriages coming to the ball.

Harvey's carriage was crowded in the middle, unremarkable.

Neia fidgeted.In order to maintain the political stability of Langzan, Langzan acquiesces that he is still imprisoned in Dongguimo. If his identity is revealed at the ball and the news is sent back to Langzan, it will definitely cause trouble to his father and brother.

"Why are your hands so cold?" Harvey touched the back of his hand.

Neia said, "I'm not feeling well, I want to go back first."

"The palace has the best doctors," Harvey said.

Neia said, "I'm a little tired."

"You can lean in my arms." Harvey stretched out his hand and hugged him into his arms.

Neia felt like telling the truth: "I don't think I'm suitable to appear in public."

Harvey said: "If the idiots from Donggemo come out, what are you going to do? You don't expect me to single them all out, do you?"

It's not impossible to have this idea, but Neia also thinks it's impossible.Not to mention whether Harvey is willing or not, even whether he can do it is a question.Although he is the king of gods, Keningya did not forget that when he left Donggemo, Ofe once mocked him for losing his godhead. "I haven't thought of it yet."

"Let me help you think together." Harvey's voice was very gentle and inducing, "We can start by looking for allies. The Kandin Empire has just eliminated a Vulcan, and has rich practical experience. Maybe it can be combined with your theory. Come up with a better solution."

Neia remained calm on the face, but she was convinced in her heart.
