Atlas Double Star Book

Chapter 12 The Choice of the Knights

Egg went out again, for some unknown reason.

The crew members were busy, and Neil was lying alone in the cabin, constantly turning a silver coin.320 heads and [-] tails.A shield or a dragon, the two patterns alternate in his palm like days and nights.

Neal was still thinking.

In such a situation, what can I do?Fortunately, Pelias has left, so he doesn't have to worry about the teacher's safety.Trand was framed, the enemies fabricated a lot of "evidence", the only witness died suddenly, and the girl who was regarded as the murderer disappeared out of thin air...

Neil tossed the silver coin again——Dragon, tails for the 320th time.

What else can be done?If it was Hein, he would never sit still.Neil got up angrily, and looked at the dark sea outside the porthole, as black as a stone ax used by barbarians.

"Yes, Hein is handsome, smart, and judgmental. Of course Peleas loves him."

As soon as he missed it, the silver coin fell to the ground.

"Damn it!" Neil punched the cabin.

Thinking of his father's broken sword, the young knight pressed his forehead against the glass, feeling infinitely sad.What an outstanding man Hein Prospero was, the much-anticipated knight commander, but he was killed by a traitor in the end... Neil lowered his eyes, if Trander was like this...

He will never allow it.

Neil made up his mind that those dirty shadows must not hurt Trand in the slightest, and he would not allow it.

Within a few hours, the Duke's messenger brought news that it was the twins that Prince Omega sent him.Judging from the Duke's information, Trand is temporarily safe, but is under house arrest.Neil also learned some background about the "murderer" from the letter:

The girl's name is Ejah Ephta. She is just 15 years old this year. She used to study with magicians for a while, but she gave up because she had no money.At present, she is working as an apprentice of a body collector, specializing in making head specimens for the crown prince.

Intuitively, Neil firmly believed that the girl could not kill the magic flag.Although the magic flag is weak, it is still a Sybil knight. It comes from the Praslier family, which has been martial for generations. Even three or four soldiers can hardly restrain it, let alone a 15-year-old human girl.If the girl was just a pawn set up by the Pure Bloods to frame Trand, why didn't the murderer be said to be another male corpse collector?Neil thought about it, maybe it was because the male body collector was the first to confess, and he would be the most compliant with the wishes of the pure-blood faction.

So the question is... why did the girl disappear?Her disappearance is too dramatic, which is not good for the script written by the pure blood.Neil stroked his chin, pondering over the Duke's letter, which mentioned that the girl lived on a slope to the east near the city wall.It was considered a slum, very close to where Neil and his knights were stationed, and the knights nicknamed it "Vulture's Nest".She lives with her grandmother and two younger siblings... must need money, Neil sighed and understood why the girl would give up being a sorcerer apprentice.

The ship plank shakes slightly, and the tiredness of the harbor lies in the silence.

"We need to find this person, maybe if we find her, we will have some clues..." Neil read the letter for the last time, and then burned it.

He had to go himself, the only thing he could do for Trand.

Before Egg came back, Neil packed his luggage.The sword of Venus was too conspicuous, so he entrusted it to the captain for safekeeping. The well-informed Omega businessman recognized that it was made of Hippocrates steel just by smelling it, and it was invaluable.The Omega lent him thirty gold shields and sold him hair-dying potions, all of which went to the Duke of Ulkan.It didn't take much effort for the waiter to help him dye his hair black.Neil looked in the mirror and saw a young man with black hair and blue eyes, and he was in a daze for an instant.

"That's weird..." Neil frowned, picking up a lock of hair on his forehead.

The Omega businessman smiled and said in a heavily accented Imperial language: "How could it be? It looks like a Sibyl. And you were originally an ear of wheat at noon in autumn, and now you are still as handsome as a stalk of wool. Garnet."

When the Duke returned to the Pisgah, he found that Neil was not there, and neither was Egg.When he asked the captain, he found out that Neil had left after disguised, and his knight was still missing.

The Duke was almost laughed out of anger, and ran around non-stop, but the two guys went their separate ways!He lay down on the cushion as if giving up on himself, lighting a cigarette and calmly.There was something shining silver on the ground, Caroylo picked it up and saw it was a silver shield——

On the reverse side of the coin, the dragon holds its head high and wears an iron chain around its neck.

Egg sat in the darkness, fingers crossed, like a leopard with bright eyes.

The young master woke up before, and now he is struggling hard on the ground.The boy's eyes were blindfolded, his mouth was gagged, and his hands and feet were bound.

The fishy smell was too strong, mixed with the smell of whale oil, ale, pine barrels and rat droppings. Egg was displeased, but unfortunately there was no more suitable place for kidnapping than here.The Sybils have a good nose, only if they hide the young master in such a place, the Ke Luoang family can't find it.But in this way, Egg himself and the boy also suffered a lot, and were dizzy from the smoke.

The boy still didn't give up struggling, his body and hair were covered with a layer of dust, making Egg's mouth smell like dust.He really wanted to sigh, why are lions always so energetic?Not only this little lion, but also their father. It is said that the Duke of Lyon Grant has as many illegitimate children as pomegranates.

Egg got a little bored, and planned to return to the boat after leaving some food and water for the boy.The Coronet family has also discovered that their only legal male heir is missing, but Yi Ge is not worried about making enemies for Trand, that guy already has many enemies.The black knight yawned silently, preparing to leave.

The young master whimpered, as if he wanted to say something, so Egg took off the cloth strip from his mouth.The boy said: "Since you kidnapped me, at least give me something to pass the time!"

The black knight re-tied the cloth strip around the boy's mouth and stopped him from making any noise.The line of the boy's jaw almost came out of the same mold as Trand.He immediately thought of his younger sister, Ishtar. Although they were not born to the same woman, they looked alike like twins.Trand used to joke that one only had to look at Ishtar to know what Egg would look like as a girl.But the younger sister's personality is much better, Egg knows, at least Ishtar will not feel that the world is empty, empty and empty... She is not like her father, which is good.

The knight's hand seemed to hurt the boy, and the young man hummed in pain. Egg thought about it, and then relaxed the strength in his hand.

Is this young man similar to Trand when he was a child?What is the difference between the two minds?Egg suddenly wanted to know, since Trander hated his father who was a great nobleman, did he also hate this child?Maybe I can ask Trand later.But... Egg still couldn't help sighing, and regretted it immediately, the child heard his voice.Forget it, it doesn't matter.Egg lightly stroked the end of the child's hair, the curly and rough black hair really felt like a big lion.

If Trand hadn't made it through... the boy would have no future, Egg wiped the dust off his fingertips carefully.It's good for kids, he thought.

That's pretty much what life is anyway.

Just like a glass of half-warm white axe, if you can't drink it or forget to drink it, forget it.
