Chosen Son

The royal palace is always very quiet at night.

The young witch has locked herself in her room since the secret conversation, and she hasn't seen her for two whole days. The maids who passed by her door quickened their pace, not even daring to breathe, for fear of angering her by doing something wrong. An adult, to be punished by God.Xu Ran had already put on the veil again, taking advantage of the fact that no one dared to disturb him, he was meditating in front of the dim candlelight, his eyes were deep and deep, completely different from the previous appearance in front of Gu Fan.

At this moment, she is more like the cold, lofty witch who is familiar to everyone, looking down on the fate of everyone on this island.

After a while, as if she had made some important decision, she loosened her clenched fingers. Just as she was about to stand up, she heard the sound of the doorknob turning.

She had already said that it was okay not to disturb, so there could only be one person who came to her room now, she sat back, and her eyes softened without her noticing.

The slender figure appeared at the door as she expected, smiled shyly at her slightly, and then closed the door with his backhand. It was indeed Her Royal Highness Princess in the palace.At this moment, she was carrying her long skirt that was as soft and fluffy as a cloud, and she was walking cautiously in front of the woman in black. She didn't look afraid of others at all, she just looked at her with her cheeks on her hands, and there was some hope in her eyes: " So, did you bring me what I wanted?"

Her voice is sweet and soft, her face is pretty, her long hair like seaweed is draped over her shoulders, making her skin as smooth and fair as jade, her eyes are watery, as if hiding a sea of ​​sea water.You can tell at a glance that it is the real one, the proud son of heaven who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

Xu Ran looked at her, not knowing why, suddenly sighed softly, and then took out a box of things from his cuff.The girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately took it over lovingly.

It was a kind of crystal sold in the market. Although it sounded nice, it was extremely cheap, and you could grab a lot for just a little money.Girls in Sirno are ingenious and often wear it into various decorations, but of course such commonplace things will not appear in the palace.The princess also inadvertently saw the crystal chain on the maid's hand, and she felt envious.After thinking for a while, I entrusted my best friend in my boudoir, Xu Ran, to buy it for her.

Xu Ran never rejects her, for some reason, she is obviously one of the people she should hate.

Maybe it's because the sea in those eyes is too clean.

"Thank you, Ran." The girl smiled with her eyes crooked like a moon.

"It's okay, it's just a matter of raising your hands." Xu Ran patted her head with rare care, as if looking at some treasure.

"Let's talk." The girl seemed to have thought of something, and she frowned again, "You went to the sacrifice two days ago, did you know any new clues, does the god really want to let Sirnuo be destroyed?"

Xu Ran moved his lips, but after a while he still spit out two words: "No."

After all, she tilted her head slightly as if she couldn't bear to face those eyes.

The girl saw her refusal, and thought she had something unspeakable, she thoughtfully didn't ask any more questions, but the worry on her beautiful eyebrows still didn't dissipate: "I really don't know what we did wrong. What, what did Sierno do wrong again?"

She fiddled with the crystals in the box in a daze. The beautiful beads looked crystal clear under the candlelight: "I hope that warrior can really bring back the exotic pet."

She just muttered to herself, asking for a psychological comfort.But Xu Ran who was at the side heard it. She turned her head abruptly and asked in a voiceless voice, "What? Is someone looking for a different pet again?"

"Yes." The girl was taken aback by her appearance, leaned back a little uneasy, and asked strangely, "Don't you know? I heard Brother Wang said that you are still talking to him, I heard that it is very speculative? The warrior said that you are from his hometown, Brother Wang was very happy, and he specially rewarded him with many things before he left, including his most beloved sword."

In an instant, the woman's face under the veil became a little pale.

As dusk set in the west, the blood-red setting sun gradually sank below the sea level, coating the entire island with a hazy golden layer, including the small fishing village located in the south of Sirno.

This is the closest place to the sea. Looking out from the outermost house, you can see the endless distance.The people who live here work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and eat by the sea water. Although the days are not as lively as those on the edge of the king's city, they are still peaceful and satisfied.Due to the long distance, they often go to the inland to purchase daily necessities after a long time, and people from Wangcheng rarely spend a lot of time here.

But today, this small fishing village has welcomed many strange guests.

Gu Fan lowered the brim of his hat, and looked helplessly at the young man who was pretending to be a servant beside him: "I said what are you doing here, and you can't help me much, you will only add to my troubles."

Lan Nuo was busy instructing his subordinates to build a camp and light a fire, without raising his head, his voice was filled with a sly smile: "I'm curious, you already know that the prophecy is false, why do you bother to find that prophecy?" What a strange pet. Don't follow me that you lied to His Majesty, I don't believe it."

Since that night, he has made up his mind to follow him this trip, but it is definitely not acceptable to go in an open and aboveboard manner, not only Gu Fan will not agree, but the king will not either.Fortunately, he was still with Yu Wei among the attendants, so he just changed someone and followed him out.

"Sure enough." He turned around and clicked his tongue, "The Ice Cave is to the north, but you brought people here. Tell me, what are your plans?"

"Do you know where this is?" Gu Fan rolled up his sleeves and asked while adding firewood to the fire.

Lan Nuo flicked a strand of blond hair that fell on his forehead, thought for a while, and said, "Is it related to that woman?"

"You are smart, Your Highness." Gu Fan looked at him in surprise, and successfully got Lan Nuo to roll his eyes.

Lan Nuo guessed right, this place is indeed related to that witch, and it has a lot to do with it - it was here that Xu Ran first appeared on this island.Few people know about this matter, because the first time she became famous was in Wangcheng, and there is a natural geographical gap with this place, so the people in Wangcheng did not go into it, and most of the people here did not know about it.Gu Fan knew that it was thanks to the tavern owner he met when he first entered Wangcheng.

"You have found the right person." When Gu Fan found him, the boss grinned, his eyes full of smugness, "I dare say, apart from me, even His Majesty the King may not be able to ask come out."

"Didn't I tell you that my elder sister works as a maid beside Her Royal Highness? Hey, for some reason, this lady witch can't get close to others, but she is very close to Her Royal Highness, as if they hit it off at first sight. When they met once, Her Royal Highness the Princess asked about the origin of the Witch. At first, the Witch was obviously unwilling to tell, but the Princess refused to let her go. The waves washed up on the beach and were rescued by the people in the nearby fishing village. I reckoned that it should be the area in the south. After all, it is very cold in the extreme north, and there are dense forests in the west. There are no people living on both sides, and our east is It’s too big, and there’s a palace behind, so it’s impossible.”

"I know the area in the south. It's not particularly deserted. It's just that the people there live by the sea and don't have much contact with us. I just know that I haven't been there. If you really want to know, you can ask the people there. people."

Although he was a little surprised by Lan Nuo's following, but with him, things were easier. At least in the matter of persuading the entourage sent by the king to change directions, His Highness Lan Nuo gave full play to his prestige.

"So, this is the place where she first appeared?" Lan Nuo looked towards the sea, "It's unbelievable that you and she both floated from the sea. How did you float, the plank or the boat , Having said that, I have always wanted to see the outside world."

Gu Fan selectively skipped his first weird question, and just answered the second question: "The outside world is actually similar to this place, everyone works and lives together, and then die."

"That being said." Lan Nuo narrowed his eyes, picked up a small stone from the ground, and threw it viciously into the distance. Soon, the small stone disappeared into the tide, "But see I always want to see something that I can’t see.”

"Your Highness is still young, there will always be opportunities in the future." Gu Fan smiled.

"Maybe." Lan Nuo glanced at him with burning eyes, "What if one day I, like you, can suddenly drift somewhere, and then experience the local customs there. Maybe I can meet you again. By then You want to invite me to dinner."

"no problem."

Gu Fan couldn't help but look at the sky and said to him, "Let's go, before it's completely dark. Let's go for a walk in the village."

The fishing village is not big, and it doesn't take long to walk around it. After they asked a few people, an enthusiastic young man playing by the side of the road showed them the way.

"That grandma over there once saved a pair of sisters, you can ask her."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Fan and Lan Nuo were taken aback for a moment. After they looked at each other, Gu Fan squatted down, put a handful of candy in the child's palm, and asked, "You guys here, except for the pair Sister, have you ever come to a stranger, such as a strange young sister or something?"

The child tilted his head and thought for a while: "No, we all know people who come from outside on weekdays, only the two sisters we have never met. But that was many years ago. The place is remote and few people come.”

"Then what happened later, where did the two sisters go later, do you know?"

"I don't know." The child frowned and tried hard to think, "I just remember that they disappeared suddenly one day. The grandma said that she was going to Wangcheng for something urgent, and she never saw them again after that."

"Someone said... I just heard what Lott, a gangster at the entrance of the village, said. I don't know if it's true. They said that they all died later."

"Died in that rebellion."
