Atlas Double Star Book

"I can't let you take her. She needs a doctor now, not a trial."

Warlock raised his spear and pointed at Neil.

The noise of the rain.

"Yes, the child's body must be the most important thing. I will find a good doctor for her. But she is an important witness and must go back. The purebloods planted Yiya as a murderer, but I don't Think she can kill the magic banner. Heather, I will protect her with you..."

"You can't protect her."

Neil opened his mouth, but didn't speak.

The warlock gripped the spear tightly, and the Abelwen on the black blade shone slightly, "Go, or I will not be polite, even for the sake of Bachelor Pelias."

Still hesitating, Neil looked at Yiya who was lying under the tree.The girl was wrapped in a blanket and curled up into a ball, coughing violently, obviously dying of illness.Neil thought of the girl's grandmother, the old man sitting in the shadows and crying.He looked at Heather again.The warlock was exhausted, but still desperately protected his apprentice.

"Yiya..." Neil walked towards the girl.

The warlock threatened with a horizontal gun.

Neil knelt down beside the girl and said softly, "Yi Ya, are you okay? I saw your grandmother and younger siblings. They are very nice and miss you very much."

The girl woke up as if struggling to get out of a quagmire.

Neil was distressed.

"Grandma..." Yi Ya murmured.

"Don't worry, someone will take care of them," Neil stroked her hair, "tell me what happened in the dungeon that day, how did the magic flag die? Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

The girl looked at Neil with no luster in her eyes, "The tiger's head is alive, it ate the magic flag..."

Sure enough, it is still the same sentence.Neil sighed, and then asked, "Iya, I'm here to help you. Tell me... was there anyone else in the dungeon at that time, did someone else kill the magic flag?"

"I was taxidermy... pierced my hand, the savage had a needle in his brain... and then, then black blood caught me... that mage with no face, he brought me out of prison."

The girl's voice was hoarse and her breathing was weak, and Neil was confused.

"Yi Ya, what did the magic flag do to you?"

The girl didn't answer.

Heather was furious, and Neil roughly guessed it.He knew what the haughty Sybyl nobles would do to female servants.

"So what was your taxidermist doing?" Neil asked cautiously.

"He... passed out."

"That is to say, there were only you, the magic flag, and the fainted taxidermist in the dungeon at that time. You were making specimens, and you were stabbed by something, and the strange black blood touched you, and then the tiger's head suddenly He came back alive and bit the magic flag to death, right?"

The girl nodded.

"This process sounds like a barbarian controlling a monster..." Neil pondered, and suddenly realized that Heather had the blood of the Iceman, and hurriedly apologized.

Shi Nan waved her hand and continued: "When I returned to the hotel, I saw Yiya lying on the ground covered in blood. She said that a black mage brought her here. The situation at that time was terrible, and strange blood kept flowing out. It smells like a monster. And Yiya's body is collapsing, you should be familiar with this symptom."

Heather lifted the blanket covering the girl.

Neil gasped. He was indeed very familiar with this disease—the skin on his arms hardened and became like snake scales.It was like this when the teacher was critically ill.

"Is it very similar to the symptoms of scholars being swallowed by the 'roster'?" Shinan was silent for a moment, then sighed: "I have done many tests on her, but I still don't understand what's going on...Although I am a teacher, I don't Knowing how to save her...I can't."

Neil held the girl's hand, which was cold and soft.He thought of many things and felt sad. "There must be a way to save her."

"I can't do it... Maybe Peleas can save this child. He was once swallowed by the 'book', but he came back alive."

"Teacher..." Neil covered his heart.

"Now do you understand? Time is running out. If you bring Yiya back to the imperial capital, she will die."

Yes, she will die.

Neil didn't know what to do.Before, he always believed that if the only witness was brought back to the imperial capital, he could prove Trand's innocence.But now, he also understands that even if Yiya is brought back, the enemy will still do everything possible to frame Trand and fabricate new charges.

Besides... Could he sacrifice this child to achieve his goal?

The Maiden sleeps in the Warlock's arms, protected and deeply cared for, like all children.Is she going to pay the price for someone else's politics?

Maybe it could, Neal thought, but he couldn't.

"I understand. I will protect you until Peleas cures the child. Then she must go back to the imperial capital to testify." The young knight stood up and looked into the warlock's eyes.

Heather categorically refused: "This has nothing to do with you."

"Ijah is an important witness, and that's my job. Trand wants me to do the same."

"Why should I trust you?"

"Because I'm a student of Peleas." Neil puffed out his chest.

Warlock was noncommittal, but just put away his spear and luggage, "Then go quickly. Otherwise, you will be chased by the Sybil Hound again."

Neil nodded and picked up the girl.

"I want to investigate and see how Pelias teaches you. You are his only student." The warlock picked up his luggage.

Neil's heart skipped a beat.It's over, and I'm going to embarrass the teacher again.

Along the way, the three of them hardly spoke.Warlock opened the way ahead, and Neil carried the little girl on his back.The child is very light and his body is cold. Sometimes Neil even forgets that he is carrying a human being on his back.

Yiya was a gentle child, and occasionally when she woke up from a lethargy, she would thank Neil and try to say something cheerful, possibly guilt for a bad situation.Neil listened patiently and answered her one by one.

When passing the stream, the warlock proposed to take a short rest.

Neil was very happy, it was time to cook again, and the seasonings he bought before could come in handy again.There are a lot of mushrooms in the mountains this season, and Neil and Warlock are very familiar with life in the wild, so they found the ingredients with ease.The two picked some mushrooms and were roasting them over a low fire.Tender and soft roasted mushrooms put him in a good mood.After eating, Neil regained some energy.He hasn't slept much for several days, but slept for a while last night in the carriage of the three ladies.

Heather said distressedly: "It's strange... I wrote to Peleas, but 'Polaris' didn't respond. Could it be that black mage? He disrupted all the spells I arranged..."

Neil sighed sincerely: "Black Mage? So cool?"

The warlock poked the younger generation's forehead with his index finger in dissatisfaction, and reprimanded: "It's not cool at all, are you still a kid in the picture book world? 'Black Mage' means he has no permission from the academy, he is a wild way. A warlock and a scholar must be registered, and the authority is granted by the academy. Unregistered black mages are not allowed. In addition to cleaning up monsters, dealing with black mages is also a routine job for inspecting warlocks."

"I, I know!" Neil said stiffly.

"Two points will be deducted for the oral test for contradicting the teacher." Shinan said bluntly.

"Eh!"

Yi Ya couldn't help laughing.

"How much is the full score..." Neil didn't dare to move.

Yi Ya said, "Five points, you are about to fail."

Neil was too frightened to speak, he was not afraid of wild beasts and the blades of enemies, but he was afraid of the exam.When he was a child, in order to coax him into taking the exam, Peleas would gently call him over every time, hug and kiss him, and then suddenly lock the door.

terrible……

Neil turned his back stiffly, so that the warlock and the girl could not see him.He took out the Twin Stones and told Trunder the information: the false accusers appeared again, and one of them was Vazquez.And girly things.

"You have learned well, but you have no theoretical basis."

Warlock said suddenly.

"Ah!" Neil jumped up, only to realize that Warlock was always behind him.

"Peleas is right. You have good talent, but you just don't study."

"No, that's right, I can't do it... It's not that the teacher is not good at teaching! He is very good, he is perfect in everything, except..." Neil quibbled, his ears turned red.

"Smartness alone won't go far. You must know at your age that if you dawdle around, you will only get mediocre results. You have to work hard to get what you want, and you don't need adults to do this kind of thing." Let me tell you. Learning will not be easy, and every step must be solid. Maybe Pelias spoiled you too much before and let you not study. But now that I am in front of you, you have to follow my standards, understand? What?" Shinan said, as if the teacher had caught the middle school student who skipped class.

Neil was too aggrieved to speak.

It was raining lightly, and the courtyard of the palace was like a still life painting.

The shadow of the spring is clear, the feathery clusters of leaves are closed like sleeping birds, and the flowers hold their breath, waiting for the last bloom before the north wind comes.

A dark-haired man sat in the corridor, smoking a cigarette, with a tired look on his face.

"The Duke."

"Huh?" Kaloyalo looked up with a smile, and instantly regained his cheerful state.The dark circles under the round glasses are clearly visible, and Egg also knows that the Duke has been running around these days, and he hardly closes his eyes.

"You're smoking again." Egg confiscated the cigarette unceremoniously.

"Trand's matter is really troublesome. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to see me, and other nobles don't even let in. Who else can I go to? There will be a cabinet meeting tonight, and His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely send Trander to him. Court-martial." The Duke tapped his head in distress.

"Well, the military court is completely the domain of the pure-blood faction, especially the Duke of Coronne."

"Although Duke Corleone is Trent's father, the two have had a long-standing grudge. He will definitely not let Trent go..."

Egg put his hands behind his back and looked at the honeysuckle in the garden, "It's okay, he will lose all his sons then."

"What do you mean?"

Egg didn't answer, but yawned leisurely.

"Hey, your lover is about to be executed! They'll cut off his head and hang it on the city gate. And they'll charge him with treason!"

The black knight didn't seem to hear, but just took a puff of cigarette carefully.

The smog filled and the smell of rain turned bitter.

"Trand won't die," Egg snuffed out the cigarette with his fingertips. "If he dies like this, it's too weak, and I don't like him."

The Duke was speechless, and held his forehead in distress, "Trand is so miserable..."

"If Trande is dead and the crown prince ascends the throne, you should leave the empire and go to the south to find Amir, so that Neil and his mages can go too." Egg said.

"You, what are you going to do?"

"What can I do?" Egg shrugged.

The rain dripped and dripped, wet the heels, and the mist from exhaled fog covered the round lenses.Kaloyalo bowed his head and folded his fingers on his knees, like a silent prayer.

Egg observed for a while, and asked bluntly: "You still have something to tell me, there is no one here."

"What can happen? You are my friend, how could I..."

"You don't lie."

Hearing this, the smile on the Duke's face gradually disappeared.Like a child whose lie has been seen through, he hesitated to come up with another excuse, but just patted his head angrily.

"Yes..." Kaloyalo still compromised, and took out a letter from his pocket, with a blue seal of wax.Egg recognized the coat of arms, which the duke had engraved and given to Amir.

"Amir's brother is sicker...more serious than the rumors say."

The Duke said, looking like he was on the verge of tears.

Ego had heard that King Omega was suddenly seriously ill half a year ago, but he seemed to be recovering a while ago, and the king even personally participated in the ceremony of God Vayura.

"From this point of view, Amir, the younger brother, has succeeded to the throne."

The Duke was stunned for a while, then hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no, he eats, drinks and has fun with me all day long, and even wants to quit his job as a priest of Ibagne, how can he govern the country? Originally, he said he would come to the Empire to play with me in August. ...Besides Amir doesn't like the court at all...Brother will be fine."

Yi Ge sighed, the empire was already restless, the emperor was old and sick, and his two sons did not have the talent to be emperor.I didn't expect Omega to do the same.

He was thinking, and suddenly found that the Duke was peeking at him worriedly.

"What's the matter with you, Your Excellency?" Egg finally remembered the etiquette of master and servant.

"Egg, I actually wanted to talk to you before... You've been very irritable since Trande was caught, and I can hardly control you. I'm really worried. You mustn't go out of your way If His Majesty commits another crime...Trand and I will be sad, you know?"

"Hmph." Egg didn't like being lectured.

"Your identity is very sensitive. The pure-blood faction wants you to restore your title and return to them. But His Majesty has always had a grudge against you. There are two factions, one wants you to become their henchman, and the other wants you Completely disappeared."

The knight was unmoved, and the duke continued to say tentatively:

"So... I'll take care of Tland's affairs, and you must not interfere. You also understand that the Pure Blood faction wants to kill Tland, and His Majesty needs Tland as a balancing force to continue Existence. It can be said that your position and that of Trande are completely opposite. You are the elite of the elite, the oldest blood. As for Trand... we all know that he is a silly lion who is good at belly dancing, right? ?” The Duke seemed to be communicating with a child.

Egg was amused, he liked the belly dancing lion.

The Duke breathed a long sigh of relief: "So what I mean is... can you wait obediently? When I release the silly lion from the cage, you can play with him."

"I'm not a child, so you don't have to talk to a mentally handicapped person." Egg said coldly.

Stepping on thunder, the Duke smiled awkwardly, quickly lit another cigarette for Egg, and took the opportunity to show off his fire spells - light a small flame on his fingertips, and there is nothing else to do except light a cigarette use up.

Looking at Egg Swalders, a handsome young Sybil, the Duke could hardly laugh or cry.Obviously they are raising children, why is Neil handsome and sunny, but the little master he raised becomes as cold as ice when he grows up?This is different from what he thought at the beginning!

The Duke suddenly said, "I'm your adoptive father, do you know that?"

"No. I was 14 years old then. And, are you going to be an old man?"

"No! I'm young and beautiful. On the way here, did you notice the way those men looked at me?"

"My lord, please be ashamed."

The two friends talked and laughed, briefly relaxing in anxiety.

The Duke proposed to try to meet His Majesty the Emperor, but Egg didn't like this proposal.But until now, Kaloyalo couldn't think of anyone who was willing to stand up and speak for Trand.Without any hesitation, the Duke immediately prepared the carriage and rushed to Itil.He urged Ego to wait for news on the Omega merchant ship.

Egg promised well and pretended to leave the Night Palace, but when the Duke didn't pay attention, he slipped away again.

Generally speaking, Egg didn't want to stay in the palace, and the status of the son of a sinner was very embarrassing.But since you've entered, you can't leave empty-handed.

Egg knocked out a servant, took off his clothes and put them on himself.Patrol soldiers come and go, these low-level guards will not bother, he just needs to avoid people who may recognize him.What a breeze.When he was a child, Trand laughed at him, saying that Master Egg had the talent of being a thief, and it would be a pity to become a knight.

Smells were like books on a shelf, Egg could find the one he wanted with just a little poking around.

He wanted to see Trand.

Egg dodged a group of whispering nobles, who must have been summoned to the palace by the crown prince.Many of them he knew, and he kind of wanted to kill them.But now is not the time, let's talk about it next time.Egg turned to the corner of the yard.The smell of Trand is nearby.Egg listened, the voices of the guards in the distance, and the voices of some of the handmaidens.

The stench of specimens wafted in the air.

Egg guessed what the annex was for.

"This is too disgusting. Forget it, Trander, please ask for blessings." He turned around and left.

After thinking about it, I turned back again.

The cold beauty frowned in disgust, as if she was about to reach into the ditch to fish for a ring.He muttered, "Trand Muawia, I hate you."

Egg jumped lightly onto the balcony.A soldier passed by downstairs, but he was not found.The balcony window was closed, and Egg deftly used the knife to pry the latch open.

The room was dark, and the stench of corpses and potions filled his nostrils, and Egg was very angry.

Sure enough, the walls of the room were covered with head specimens.Old people, beauties, deer, bears, crocodiles, young men, beautiful children... There are many specimen heads, some with closed eyes, and some with tragic expressions.Obviously, these are the crown prince's collections.Rumor has it that the crown prince loves dramatic moments and will make human heads into specimens.The people were afraid of Triste, but the Sybil nobles were not so disgusted. They only felt that the crown prince had gone too far, and the future king should not show his likes and dislikes to his subjects too much.

Egg really couldn't understand, how could a Sybyl love such dirty, smelly things... such a low-spirited aesthetic.

It seems that the entire annex is used by the crown prince to display the collection, and his purpose of putting Trand under house arrest is also evident. He probably wants Trand's head to become a collection in the future.Egg hid in the room to observe, the annex was in a circular shape, and Trander should be on the opposite side, because there was the sound of guard patrols from there.Egg closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, roughly determining the location of Trander, then jumped to another balcony and entered the room.

Still full of specimens.

Egg was lucky that this room faced the balcony at the other end of the courtyard.

He saw that Trand was lounging on a chair, seeming to be thinking about something.That is really an attractive man, the light robe is attached to the honey-colored skin, the chest muscles look firm and full, the facial features seem to be carved out, and the crotch is also very impressive, suitable for viewing in a bottle.Yi Ge suddenly understood why His Highness the Crown Prince wanted Trand's head so much, and he probably wanted to reach out and stroke the tear mole on that beautiful face.Is there a Sybil who isn't enamored of this wheaten skin?Egg was satisfied because it was his.Trand is his, from body to soul, every drop of blood belongs to him, even Trand's death can only be placed in the palm of his hand.

Egg was very happy and decided to let Trand notice this.He took out the dagger and threw it along——

The knife slammed into the pillow on top of Trand's head!

Trand jumped up in fright, and seemed to be swearing.

"Throw another knife and see if he gets hurt haha." Egg was pleased, and smiled and threw another knife at Trander's heart.

Poor Trand didn't know what was going on, and used the fruit plate as a shield to block the incoming flying blades.He thought he was about to be assassinated.At about this time, Trand finally noticed the opposite room——

Seeing Egg's shadow, Trand smiled happily.

The two looked at each other wordlessly and smiled.Just like when I was a child, I can understand the other person's mind without expressing meaning.

The door to Trand's room was opened, and Egg hurriedly avoided. It seemed that the guard had been disturbed by the movement just now.The soldier made some inquiries, saluted the knight commander, and went out again.

"Hey, beauty, can I buy you a glass of wine?" Trand sign language.

Ego didn't want to return him at all. When he was a child, Trander wanted to learn sign language with Ego under the pretext that "he will definitely encounter danger in the future and cannot speak, and learning sign language is necessary."At first, the two were quite enthusiastic, but later Egg found that Trand always harassed him with gestures, so he didn't want to learn it.

"It's very troublesome to put the lion cub back and the man's son." Trand looked anxious.

Egg laughed.

"No, I like it."

Trande touched his forehead helplessly, and said, "Go to Gregor, and take what he gave to Vazquez's house."

Egg nodded.He was relieved, and it seemed that the trapped lion was still trying to find a way to fight.Egg sometimes felt that...Trander could do things he couldn't.

It was nearly time, and Egg couldn't stay long.

In the end, Trander nodded his head/waist, and smiled meaningfully: "I want to fuck/you every night, young master."

Egg was expressionless, and flew out the third dagger towards Trander's lower body.

The author has something to say: My God, what kind of messy little settings did I write in this chapter? 233333

I really can't think of the title of this chapter, so I'll use Yi Ge's name OTZ

Waiting for the episode, I must write that Neil took the initiative to ask for the exam in order to please the teacher, and then regretted crying while reviewing hhhhh
