Save the world after being called
Work related
You did a great job this time. One of them, a middle-aged man with oily hair, a clean-shaven face, a wrinkle-free suit, and shiny shoes, stood up and held out his hand to Kingsley.
"You're welcome, Hope." Kingsley shook his hand and let Eugene and Xia Zuo take their seats.
"Minister of State of the Galactic Federation Government Reyes." Hope introduced to Kingsley and Eugene Xia Zuo.
"Galactic Army III Secret Department External Affairs Officer Stone."
"MJM Vice President Doreen."
"And me, MJM Executive Director Hope."
Everyone he mentioned smiled modestly, as if this was just a very ordinary dating meeting.
However, Eugene's face has become darker than the depths of the forest at base one.
"Mr. Kingsley, you seem to have left our agreement behind." His tone was almost rude, with ice and frost in it.
"Son, that's the best way to broaden your paths."
"Forget about the people from MJM. I don't understand the significance of the participation of the so-called Secret Ministry of the Army and the Third Alliance Government in this conversation?"
"In order to help you clear the obstacles. Do you think that MJM can overcome the complicated upper layers of the galaxy?" Doreen, the vice president of MJM, propped her chin with one hand. She is an elegant woman in her forties, with a left hand The diamond the size of a pigeon egg on the ring finger is shining brightly, "Star building requires a price. If you want to use this opportunity to become a citizen of a high-level star, you'd better cooperate with our work."
"Some cooperation works, some cooperation does not."
"What needs your cooperation is naturally what can be cooperated."
After the charade-like conversation ended, Kings tapped the goblet with a silver spoon and said calmly, "My lords have come from a long way, it's been hard work. Let me toast you all."
When this small dinner party ended, it was already late at night.Eugene and Xia Zuo returned to the dormitory, and the atmosphere between them was somewhat silent.Kingsley and others finally made the following promises - to forge life traces of composite story backgrounds for them; let them directly enter the official competition without passing the final audition; the official competition guarantees absolute fairness, and no additional levels are added for them; Winning or losing the game, they and Donna can get the citizen chip of the high-level star; after the game, let them enter the Sagittarius A star and contact the royal family.
Regarding the last point, Kingsley strongly disagrees. After all, the two of them will face pressure from many royal families after their special abilities are announced. The people he invited today are here to clear the pressure for them. Come to add to your troubles.The explanation given by Eugene is that he and Xia Zuo are also very angry about the reason why he has magic power.
After discussion, Kingsley and others agreed one by one, and the only hard condition was that the two of them must participate in [-] activities held by them within one year.
"It doesn't sound like this task is too difficult." Xia Zuo said while lying on the big bed and looking at the ceiling with his arms outstretched.
"Not necessarily. They didn't mention the content of the event, I'm afraid the difficulty will increase compared to this time." Eugene closed the curtain and continued, "But if Kingsley's conditions are too excessive, I won't Let him go."
"Don't suddenly turn black, okay?" Xia Zuo said, squinting at Eugene.
"I've always been like this." Eugene said as if he had been touched by something sad, and then fell silent after speaking.
"Hey..." Xia Zuo secretly thought something was wrong, just as he was about to say something to comfort him, the light screen above his wrist suddenly unfolded, and Donna's name flickered in it.
"You two are making a big fuss." Donna seemed to be suppressing her anger, but she couldn't hide the sexiness in her words.
"We didn't expect it either." Xia Zuo was extremely aggrieved, "Who told us that Scylla killed us by surprise."
"You have exposed yourself like this, have you considered the consequences?" Donna finally stopped covering up, and said angrily, "I was woken up by some people in uniform in the middle of the night, and asked me to go to the Alliance Government Hall to drink tea and investigate Is it easy for me to source the goods I sell?"
Xia Zuo rubbed Donna's buzzing ears and said, "Are you okay now?"
"Can I sit here and talk to you if I have something to do?" Seeing that the scene behind Donna should be at home, Xia Zuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"How did you come out, I was talking about drinking tea."
"A few more uniforms came from behind, whispered a few words to their leader, and then let me go."
Xia Zuo looked at Eugene immediately, and Eugene nodded to him.
"What are you two talking dumb?" Donna asked impatiently.
"Today we..." Xia Zuo told Donna all about Kingsley's plan and the anxious little banquet that followed.
After hearing this, she calmed down and said, "Anyway, be careful, I think Kingsley may have other plans."
"Understood." Eugene came over and turned off Xia Zuo's light screen with a wave of his hand.
Xia Zuo watched helplessly as he hugged the pillow and squeezed onto the bed he was lying on: "What are you doing?"
Eugene replied solemnly, speaking calmly as if about to pour a glass of water: "Sleep."
Xia Zuo pushed him: "Sleep, why are you on my bed?"
Eugene didn't even blink: "My bed is wet."
Xia Zuo blushed when he thought of how the two Chitiao IIItiao slept together in their arms in the afternoon.
☆, breakup and goodbye
Due to their special identities, the two won the places in the finals without taking part in the comprehensive evaluation. As for popularity, the two young people with magic and legendary lives have already caused a sensation in the entire galaxy, and everyone is waiting for them to show their talents in the finals.
Kingsley gave Eugene the boat ticket for Sagittarius A and the ticket for the auditorium.
"This kind of precious thing looks more reliable in Eugene's place." He explained in this way.
Xia Zuo kicked a small stone out of sight sullenly, and the stone rolled and rolled and stopped in front of a person.Xia Zuo raised his head and showed a happy expression: "Nell!"
He and Eugene were pretty much quarantined after the team game, and Kingsley didn't allow their squad members to get close until today, when they were about to board the spaceship back to NC20013.
"Xia Zuo...Eugene." Nell's eyes flashed a gloomy light.
"I'm sorry, I've been under house arrest by the old thief Kingsley for the past few days, and I can't come to see you at all. I wanted to contact you through the terminal, but your signals have been blocked." Xia Zuo put both hands on his chest , making a begging gesture.
"It's okay." Nell forced a smile, "I should have thought about it a long time ago. From the first day I came to the Katz training ground, you are so different. I, the weakest, even hugged your thighs and survived safely. today."
"It's not like that." Xia Zuo said softly, "You've been working hard."
"What's the use of hard work? Hard work can't compare to a talented person, and hard work can't make my mother live a good life." Nell suddenly raised his head, "A talented person like you will never understand me. pain."
Xia Zuo looked at the interstellar ferry ticket made of metal and the banquet ticket made of the same material in Eugene's hands.Wouldn't he be happier if these two things were given to Nell?After all, I was the one who promised to protect him and help him, but now I have to leave here before him.
"Instead of feeling sorry for yourself here, it's better to spend time learning how to become stronger." Eugene put two pieces of metal with huge wealth in his pocket, walked up to Nell and said coldly, "You only saw us You have no idea what kind of hardships we have endured in order to obtain this strength."
In Xia Zuo's impression, although Eugene did not speak well, he seldom said such harsh words. The two of them were his friends. He was at a loss for a while, like a goose standing in front of Nell, wanting to say something , but his throat seemed to be choked, making him unable to utter a word.
Nell was silent for a moment, pushed him away and left here quickly.Xia Zuo wanted to call him to stop, but was scared by his hateful eyes and took a step back.
"Why?" Xia Zuo murmured.
He thought Nell was his good friend, the first friend he made in the galaxy other than Donna.But now, maybe not as he thought.
Eugene put his hands in his pockets, and the flying car that was specially designed to take them to the transfer station was parked in front of him.
"Still leaving, do you want to wait for him to change his mind?" He asked looking at Xia Zuo's back.
"Why do you talk to him like that!" Xia Zuo turned his head and shouted at Eugene angrily, "Why are you making fun of someone who is working hard?"
"You are like an old hen, raising a lost wolf cub under its wings, and when he grows up, you will be his food." Eugene sneered, "You know what happened last night ?"
"Last night?" Xia Zuo froze for a moment.
"Your little Nell got our address out of nowhere and stood out the window staring at us," Eugene continued as if telling someone else's story. "I woke up and he waved me out."
"and then?"
"Then? Hehe." Eugene laughed, "He stood in the garden and took off his clothes to seduce me."
"Seduce?!" As if struck by lightning, Xia Zuo looked in the direction where Nell disappeared in disbelief, "Why?"
"Besides the golden ticket for the auditorium, what other reason made him do such a thing. Could it be that he fell in love with me?" Eugene frowned in disgust.
"That's not a golden ticket. The material is called silicon gold iron." Xia Zuo corrected in a murmur, and then he said as if he was relieved, "What? He fell in love with you? Why didn't he fall in love with me, obviously I care about him more."
"Is this the time to talk about this?" Eugene twisted Xia Zuo's collar and threw him onto the flying car, "Hurry up and give the ticket to Donna, and then go back to the Scarlet Plain. I have a bad feeling that something big is going to happen It's about to happen."
Kingsley gave them a two-month holiday and advised them to keep their tails between their legs like mice and stay out of publicity.After returning to star NC20013, the two went directly to the store opened by Donna.It was the rush hour for getting off work, and the store was brightly lit, and many social people in well-fitted suits were busy shopping.It has to be said that, as a medium-level star, the living conditions of NC20013 are hundreds of times better than those of the low-level star ZE00001. At least people don’t have to worry about being infected by cosmic ray radiation because they don’t wear protective clothing.
Donna's fiery red curly hair fluttered behind the counter, she suddenly raised her head and saw Xia Zuo and Eugene at the door, and hurriedly called the clerk beside her to take her place.
"You guys are back." Donna took them to a hidden room on the second floor, and poured them two cups of coffee—this is the star product brought back from the Skyrim Continent, and it is deeply loved by customers.
Eugene put two golden strips into Donna's hands, and she looked at them over and over in her hands after receiving them, and then laughed: "It's really not easy to keep them without identity-bound tickets and entrance tickets. Did anyone see you coming in? I mean the seekers who got wind of it."
"Don't worry, after we got out of the transit station, we had to change vehicles five times to get to you." Xia Zuo took off the mask on his face and gasped, "But everyone knows that Eugene and I have an older sister. Isn't it superfluous?"
Donna raised a finger and shook it: "One of the conditions I asked you to negotiate with Kingsley before was not to divulge my information, so I'm still safe."
She called out the identity terminal, and with a "beep", a stone slab popped out from the corner of the wall. The color of the slate was exactly the same as that of the wall.Xia Zuo looked inside, and there was a small safe inside.Donna put the two precious tickets in and closed the organ again.
"Okay, then please wear your masks and go home." After she finished speaking, she went straight downstairs, apologized to all the customers, and put up the closing sign regardless of the mournful complaints.
When the three returned home, Donna called up the latest audition video released by MJM, which showed Xia Zuo killing the giant mechanical wolf with one blow.
"Our terminals were blocked from communication within a certain range during the team competition. If it was in the Bloody Middle Ages, they would definitely intentionally create this inconvenience in order to create a topic." Xia Zuo said, holding his chin.
"I've improved the monitoring ear studs and changed them into a style that supports calls. I need to study how to bypass the shielding device to do this." Donna said thoughtfully.
"You have two months to study." Xia Zuo said with a smile, "Now we don't need to use magic in secret, and the little cock doesn't need to be improved."
"Where are you going these two months?" Donna asked.
"Go where we should go." Xia Zuo laughed, "The store is almost sold out, and Eugene and I, two hard workers, should act again."
"Donna, what do you know about the royal family?" Eugene asked suddenly, he was leaning casually on the sofa with his fingers crossed.
"I don't know about the royal family." Donna's expression was unnatural for a moment, and then returned to normal again, "In the galaxy, every intelligent race has a royal family, maybe this is the root of the evolution of species. But with the development of time , the royal family is gradually declining, and the alliance government is also unwilling to have the royal family take power."
"Really." Eugene stared at Donna, as if trying to see through her.
Donna's red hair was like a burning flame, against her fair face, it seemed to be smeared with a touch of rouge.
"I've been busy all day, I'm too sleepy, I'm going to bed." Donna stood up, stretched herself and walked towards the bedroom.
"What are you talking about, Eugene?" Xia Zuo asked softly after Donna closed the door.
"Donna is not an ordinary person. I am very familiar with her temperament, and she is definitely not an ordinary person." Eugene replied, "So I guess she will definitely not be an ordinary deported criminal on the Val colonial planet, and she should have a strong relationship with the royal family. Otherwise, from the time when she came from the White Eagle Gang, she avoided talking about our magic, and even diverted the topic consciously."
"Donna is our friend." Xia Zuo paused and said, "Actually, in my eyes, she is like a big sister, the kind of big sister who would drive me to work with a feather duster when I was paralyzed at home."
"I didn't say what would happen to her." Eugene said helplessly, "She may have special reasons for not revealing all this to us, but it doesn't mean that we ignore the danger. Sagittarius A will be in danger. "
After the two said goodnight, Xia Zuo covered his head under the quilt, and gradually fell asleep thinking about what happened recently.He dreamed again of that night that was burnt by flames, and the wicked smile on Jasmine's face seemed to be pierced into his heart like a sharp knife.
"Miss Jasmine!" He sat up from the bed and found that it was dawn outside.
"Are you going to sleep until the afternoon?" Eugene pushed open the bedroom door, and a smell of baking bread came in from outside.
Xia Zuo straightened himself up, and quickly transferred himself from the bed to the dining table.During the month at Katz's training ground, he basically didn't eat well. In addition, his stomach had already been sucked by Eugene, so the food in the cafeteria really didn't catch his attention.
"Nostalgic!" He put a spoonful of fresh-cut mango glutinous rice into his mouth, with a satisfied expression on his face.
"Seeing your appearance, I can't help but wonder if Katz's training ground is abusing audition candidates." Donna slowly stirred up the latte art of coffee, and she seems to have fallen in love with this action recently.
"There is no doubt, they are just abusing you." Xia Zuo said with lingering fear, "There are more than 1 people who participated in the audition, and only 1000 people are left. More than 80.00% of the people died in this competition. If it is not because of me and Eugene would have died a long time ago if he had his hole cards."
Donna looked down at the milk froth floating in the coffee cup. After a moment of silence, she finally raised her head and said, "When the official competition is over, no matter whether you succeed or not, I will confess something to you."
Xia Zuo raised his eyebrows indifferently, and stuffed the last bite of dessert into his mouth: "You can do whatever you want, I hope we will have our lives to wait until that day."
"We're going to be away for a while, and we'll be back before the official game." Eugene suddenly said to divert this dull topic, "I've already told Kingsley that during our 'vacation', I will contact you if there is anything."
Donna nodded: "No problem, tell Kingsley not to disclose my information to the rest."
☆、The Kidnapped Jasmine
The sky of the Scarlet Plain seems to be covered with a layer of light red tulle forever, especially in the setting sun, the red color between the sky and the earth has no boundaries and no end.The Veranika Monastery stands far away in this red, like a gray cage.The angelic girl did not run out of the monastery cheerfully to meet Xia Zuo as usual, instead a small snake covered with black scales led a middle-aged nun with a sad face quickly running towards them.
"Masters, you are finally back!" Sister Karma's eyes were bloodshot, and the thick dark circles made her sunken eyes even more vicissitudes.
"Sister Karma, what's the matter?" Xia Zuo held Sister Karma's arm, so that the lady who seemed to have been sleepless for days and nights would not fall due to an unstable center of gravity.
"Jasmine was taken away by Raphael XI!" Sister Karma covered her face and wept, "Those herdsmen's children tricked Jasmine into the mansion of that smug man for a little profit. I went to the door to make a fuss several times but returned without success."
Xia Zuo immediately became anxious when he heard this, and said, "Jasmine has a very high reputation here, and he dared to attack Jasmine so blatantly, isn't he afraid of being attacked by the people?"
"Don't mention it, I ask those who have been helped by Jasmine to join me in finding Raphael XI. But that is a bunch of white-eyed wolves, useless!" Sister Karma cursed, "They are afraid of Raphael XI All of them hid and kept silent."
"Sister Karma, don't worry, I'll go and rescue Jasmine!"
Xia Zuo turned around and was about to leave, but Eugene grabbed him and said, "Come back to me, how many magicians are enshrined in King Raphael XI's mansion, rushing up like this... He sneered and continued, "You can only be a target based on your current use of magic."
"At the most critical moment, you unseal the seal, and I'll bring your mind back." Xia Zuo said in a rough voice, sticking his neck.
Before he finished speaking, his eyes darkened and he passed out.Eugene caught him very smoothly, carried him on his shoulders, and walked towards the monastery.
"Master Eugene, what are you..." Sister Karma looked at Eugene puzzled, just now he mercilessly gave Xia Zuo a hand knife that caused coma.
"He's too emotional now, let me check on Jasmine's situation instead of him." Eugene put Xia Zuo on the bed and put the sandwich on his lap into his pocket, "Sister Karma, you can go first Pack your bags. If I rescue Jasmine, maybe she needs to leave the Scarlet Plain immediately."
"It doesn't matter, this child has suffered too much with me, so it's fine to let her go." Sister Kama solemnly bowed to Eugene, "Master Eugene, if possible, please take Jasmine away from here. Give her Find a safe place and let this child live happily." Eugene nodded slightly, pulled up his cloak and walked out.
The bitter cold wind is eroding the ground unscrupulously, and there is still a lot of cold air pouring through the cracks into the warm houses, or the dilapidated shantytowns, or the desolate lawns of the parks in the middle of the street.This winter night was very different from every previous winter night. Except for a few vultures hovering in the sky waiting to eat, everything in Casserton City was going on as usual, step by step.
No one's life trajectory is affected by a nun's misfortune.After the last pedestrian outside Raphael XI's mansion left, Eugene manipulated the dark element to cast a hidden magic on himself.At the same time, Sandwich crawled out of his pocket and sneaked into the courtyard without making a sound.
After a while, Sandwich appeared from the darkness, and it raised its head towards Eugene to signal him to follow.One person and one snake came to a gorgeous room without alarming anyone.There are expensive decorations displayed in the room, the most conspicuous is the large bed in the middle that can accommodate five grown men.The four bedposts are carved with romantic patterns; the bed curtain from top to bottom is embroidered with fine stitches and several layers of hand-stitched lace; the bed sheets are made of the most expensive mulberry silk, soft and delicate, warm in winter and cool in summer .
What is extremely inconsistent is that there is a silver-black iron chain on the bedpost, and at the other end of this iron chain is a pair of white and tender feet.The owner of the little feet was hugging her legs and weeping silently, her golden curly hair was scattered on her shoulders, rising and falling with her movements, which was very pitiful.
"Sister Jasmine." Eugene's voice interrupted her sadness abruptly. Jasmine raised her head in surprise, and then coughed excitedly.
"Shh." Eugene gestured to her to shut up, "Keep your voice down, there are at least 20 magicians around here guarding your 'safety'."
"I'm sorry." Jasmine forced herself to calm down, and said to Eugene in a low voice.
Eugene put his hands on the iron chain that imprisoned Jasmine's freedom, the golden light was fleeting, and the iron chain snapped.
"I'm sorry." Youjin tied her to his back with a rope. If Xia Zuo were here, he would definitely recognize that it was the metal rope that Eugene used so well during the team competition at the Katz training ground. s material.
With the blessing of concealment magic and Sandwich, the night python's affinity for the dark element, Eugene took Jasmine back to the monastery without alarming anyone.
At this time, everyone has fallen asleep, only one room is still brightly lit.Xia Zuo and Sister Karma sat on two chairs, one on the left and the other on the right, looking out the window anxiously.After Xia Zuo woke up, although he was angry with Eugene's actions, he thought that what he said was very reasonable, so he obediently stayed in the monastery and waited for Eugene's triumphant return.
Eugene stepped into the room from the dark night with dew on his face, and he was looking at the two of them with pear blossoms at this time, with a small white face exposed in his cloak.
"Jasmine, are you alright?" Sister Karma rushed up and hugged Jasmine, checking her body.
"Did that damn Raphael do it to you...!" Xia Zuo couldn't bear to say anything in the middle of the sentence.
"I'm fine. Raphael XI wanted to win my heart, so he never touched me." Jasmine hugged the hot milk that Kama handed over, and sat on a chair wrapped in a quilt. Embarrassed, he poured out all his experiences.
"It's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have it..." Sister Karma muttered, and she hugged Jasmine again because of her distress.
"Sister Karma, have Jasmine's luggage been packed? Raphael XI should have discovered that Jasmine is missing by now, and the monastery will be the first place he searches." Eugene's words broke the warmth in the room.
"I won't leave here!" Jasmine begged and looked at Sister Karma, "If I leave, King Raphael XI will make things difficult for you!"
"I'm just an old woman in Veronica Monastery, what can he do with me?" Sister Karma lovingly touched Jasmine's head, "Go, child!"
Jasmine laid her head on Sister Karma's lap, and her tears fell like pearls one by one on Sister Kama's black nun's dress, and soon smeared a large swath of dark water.
"Sister Karma, why don't you go with Jasmine so that she can always feel at ease." Xia Zuo suggested.
"No, Veronica Monastery needs someone to guard it." Sister Karma looked at the holy and soft goddess statue in the center of the courtyard through the window rail. Even at night, the clasped hands on its chest still gave off a holy light.
At this moment, a ball of light struck from a distance, and exploded into an envelope.Eugene made a silent gesture, pulled the cloak and walked out the door.After a while, he entered the room with the envelope made of high-grade sheepskin. Sister Karma's face changed when she saw the envelope in his hand. The red seal on the envelope was clearly the family crest of Raphael I.
Eugene opened the envelope, frowned, and then turned his gaze to Jasmine: "Who is Mike?"
It was said that both Xia Zuo and Sister Karma were staring at Jasmine.It's just that Xia Zuo's eyes revealed surprise, while Sister Karma was full of doubts.
Jasmine suddenly felt that her throat was extremely dry, and there seemed to be a voice roaring in her head all the time. She seemed determined to take a deep breath and asked, "Mike is my lover."
"Impossible! Nonsense!" It was Sister Kama who spoke, and she was dignified and reserved like an angry old hen, asking sharply, "You are a holy nun, how can you fall in love with others! Have you forgotten what I taught you since childhood!"
"I'm sorry Sister Karma, but Mike and I really love each other." Jasmine covered her face with her hands, and sobbed softly again.
Xia Zuo stood up and interrupted Sister Kama's questioning. He turned his attention to Eugene: "Since Raphael XI asked the magician to send the letter to the monastery, it proves that he knows that Jasmine was rescued here. Let's take a look at the letter first." What did you say?"
Eugene nodded and handed the letter to the three of them. Jasmine snatched it up and started to read it, her chest heaving and falling, and she was very emotional.
"I'm going to save him!" Jasmine stood up and threw the warm quilt aside.
"Don't go!" Sister Karma slapped the table and spilled the milk in the cup.
"He fell into Raphael XI's hands because of me. I can't sit idly by." Jasmine showed unprecedented firmness and toughness.
"Exchange your freedom for a man who deceived you astray? I will never allow it! Absolutely!" Sister Kama also stood up, using her thin and short body to stop Jasmine.
"Wait." Xia Zuo separated the two fiery women with his hands, and he said with a wry smile, "Jasmine, let Eugene and I rescue Mike, I've seen him before, trust me."
"What? You also know about her and Mike?" Sister Karma stared at Xia Zuo angrily, which made him scratch his head in embarrassment and hide himself behind Eugene.
Although his liking for Jasmine has turned into a friendship, Xia Zuo always feels awkward about saving his former love rival.He will not tell others that he is jealous of the fate of that handsome young man, who is as handsome and handsome as the heroine in all novels, and makes the heroine so obsessed with everything that he gives everything.
But after thinking about it, he suddenly felt relieved: "Why am I jealous of him? If Mike is the hero in a love story, am I not the hero in a heroic epic? Isn't a tragic hero more important than a story about being crazy about love?" charming."
Eugene glanced at Xia Zuo who made the decision for himself, and nodded helplessly: "That's it, Jasmine, you stay here first, we'll go find Mike."
Jasmine clenched her hands tightly, turning her body so as not to face Sister Karma's reprimanding eyes, she nodded after a moment of silence, "Please, my lords. If you fail, I will go and talk to Rafael again." Negotiate for a lifetime."
"I won't fail, trust me!" Xia Zuo smacked his nose with his thumb, noticed Eugene's cold gaze, and immediately added a word, "You guys!"
The author has something to say: Haha
☆, escape and lies
The pre-ancient period actually covered 3000 years in the history of Skyrim. Since eight saints and twelve heroes appeared successively during that time, later generations collectively referred to these 3000 years as the pre-ancient period.In addition to this group of people standing at the top of history, in the era when countless heroes were born, there was a woman whose name always shone on the Scarlet Plain——Veranika, who sealed the Scarlet Demon with her own power, was called by later generations goddess.However, according to the author's research, some folk legends, the story of Veronica seems to be different from the records in the history books.
—— "The Bard Jokes About Heroes" Chapter 11
----------------
Raphael XI is a person who pursues the ultimate quality of life. His room must be lit with snow mountain incense imported from the northern kingdom; the air temperature must be five degrees lower than body temperature; the tables and chairs must be wiped spotlessly; The servant's nails must be longer than the fingernails by 3 millimeters... If there is any point that is not done, it will make him uncomfortable. If he is uncomfortable, someone in Raphael's mansion will die.
Raphael XI, who claimed to control everything, unfortunately did not inherit the magic power of his parents, which he regarded as the only failure in his life, so he did not allow a second failure in his life.But obviously, the beautiful nun in the monastery outside the city made him encounter Waterloo again.
But it doesn't matter, this matter is far from the time to admit defeat.Raphael XI turned his head and looked at the one-meter-high iron cage at his feet. There was nothing in the cage, and the cage door engraved with the Raphael family emblem was blowing with the wind, making a creaking sound. .Raphael XI put his gorgeous sheepskin boots on the iron cage and smiled with confidence.
Xia Zuo and Eugene were lurking in Raphael XI's backyard at this time, as if waiting for their visit. The originally silent night had been lit by countless torches, turning half of the sky into a turmoil. up red.
The magicians enshrined by Raphael XI were in groups of three and patrolled the yard non-stop, making it impossible for Eugene and Xia Zuo to detect Mike's location.In desperation, the two had no choice but to release the sandwich, letting the night python turn into a snake and slip into the mansion to look for Mike.
After half an hour, Sandwich appeared under the shadow of the trees by the courtyard wall. It uttered a snake letter and shook its head at Eugene. Its small mung bean-sized eyes were full of humanity and showed a disappointed expression.
"Didn't find it?" Xia Zuo asked nervously.
"Hiss, hiss~" was probably an answer. After all, the chicken and the duck were talking, and the two could only find the answer from the sandwich movement.
"Is Raphael XI here?" Eugene asked again.
"Hiss, hiss~" Sandwich stood up and shook his head again.
"Too bad, it's a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain." Eugene frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Go back to the monastery, Jasmine is in danger."
Ten minutes ago, the Veronica Monastery outside the city of Casserton welcomed a person who should not be here at all.He skillfully climbed into the courtyard wall, and found the room where Jasmine and Sister Karma were.A small silvery-white light spot projected from the window into the room, avoiding Sister Karma's sight and landing on Jasmine's hand.
Jasmine, who was lowering her head and letting her eyes go empty, noticed that this small silver spot suddenly raised her head, and her eyes fell outside the window.Sister Kama noticed her movement and immediately looked up at her.
"Jasmine?"
From the time Eugene and Xia Zuo left until now, this pair of women who were originally as close as mother and daughter have not said a word.
"Sister Karma, I'm hungry, I want to go to the kitchen to get some food, do you need it?" She lowered her head and whispered, who was not good at lying.
"Go." Sister Kama put her hands on her forehead and waved her hands. She hasn't had a good rest since Jasmine was taken away. Although Jasmine was rescued, the matter is far from over.Thinking of this, she stretched out her fingers to massage her tired temples.
Holding her skirt, Jasmine walked out of the room steadily, following the winding rain pavilion until the room where Sister Karma was located was no longer in sight, a tall and handsome man jumped out from the shadows, he hugged Jasmine and She hugged and kissed.
"Mike! Great, you're fine!" Jasmine's tears flowed down her cheeks to her lips, and a bitter taste entered between Mike's lips and teeth.
"Honey, follow me quietly. If you stay here, you will hurt other people instead." Mike gently wiped away Jasmine's tears.
"But Xia Zuo and the others are going to rescue you, I can't sneak away like this." Jasmine let go of Mike's hand and shook her head.
Hearing Xia Zuo's name, an undetectable gloom flashed across Mike's face, and then he showed a sincere expression: "Don't worry, they will come back if they can't find me at Raphael XI. Just leave a letter to reassure them.
"You're welcome, Hope." Kingsley shook his hand and let Eugene and Xia Zuo take their seats.
"Minister of State of the Galactic Federation Government Reyes." Hope introduced to Kingsley and Eugene Xia Zuo.
"Galactic Army III Secret Department External Affairs Officer Stone."
"MJM Vice President Doreen."
"And me, MJM Executive Director Hope."
Everyone he mentioned smiled modestly, as if this was just a very ordinary dating meeting.
However, Eugene's face has become darker than the depths of the forest at base one.
"Mr. Kingsley, you seem to have left our agreement behind." His tone was almost rude, with ice and frost in it.
"Son, that's the best way to broaden your paths."
"Forget about the people from MJM. I don't understand the significance of the participation of the so-called Secret Ministry of the Army and the Third Alliance Government in this conversation?"
"In order to help you clear the obstacles. Do you think that MJM can overcome the complicated upper layers of the galaxy?" Doreen, the vice president of MJM, propped her chin with one hand. She is an elegant woman in her forties, with a left hand The diamond the size of a pigeon egg on the ring finger is shining brightly, "Star building requires a price. If you want to use this opportunity to become a citizen of a high-level star, you'd better cooperate with our work."
"Some cooperation works, some cooperation does not."
"What needs your cooperation is naturally what can be cooperated."
After the charade-like conversation ended, Kings tapped the goblet with a silver spoon and said calmly, "My lords have come from a long way, it's been hard work. Let me toast you all."
When this small dinner party ended, it was already late at night.Eugene and Xia Zuo returned to the dormitory, and the atmosphere between them was somewhat silent.Kingsley and others finally made the following promises - to forge life traces of composite story backgrounds for them; let them directly enter the official competition without passing the final audition; the official competition guarantees absolute fairness, and no additional levels are added for them; Winning or losing the game, they and Donna can get the citizen chip of the high-level star; after the game, let them enter the Sagittarius A star and contact the royal family.
Regarding the last point, Kingsley strongly disagrees. After all, the two of them will face pressure from many royal families after their special abilities are announced. The people he invited today are here to clear the pressure for them. Come to add to your troubles.The explanation given by Eugene is that he and Xia Zuo are also very angry about the reason why he has magic power.
After discussion, Kingsley and others agreed one by one, and the only hard condition was that the two of them must participate in [-] activities held by them within one year.
"It doesn't sound like this task is too difficult." Xia Zuo said while lying on the big bed and looking at the ceiling with his arms outstretched.
"Not necessarily. They didn't mention the content of the event, I'm afraid the difficulty will increase compared to this time." Eugene closed the curtain and continued, "But if Kingsley's conditions are too excessive, I won't Let him go."
"Don't suddenly turn black, okay?" Xia Zuo said, squinting at Eugene.
"I've always been like this." Eugene said as if he had been touched by something sad, and then fell silent after speaking.
"Hey..." Xia Zuo secretly thought something was wrong, just as he was about to say something to comfort him, the light screen above his wrist suddenly unfolded, and Donna's name flickered in it.
"You two are making a big fuss." Donna seemed to be suppressing her anger, but she couldn't hide the sexiness in her words.
"We didn't expect it either." Xia Zuo was extremely aggrieved, "Who told us that Scylla killed us by surprise."
"You have exposed yourself like this, have you considered the consequences?" Donna finally stopped covering up, and said angrily, "I was woken up by some people in uniform in the middle of the night, and asked me to go to the Alliance Government Hall to drink tea and investigate Is it easy for me to source the goods I sell?"
Xia Zuo rubbed Donna's buzzing ears and said, "Are you okay now?"
"Can I sit here and talk to you if I have something to do?" Seeing that the scene behind Donna should be at home, Xia Zuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"How did you come out, I was talking about drinking tea."
"A few more uniforms came from behind, whispered a few words to their leader, and then let me go."
Xia Zuo looked at Eugene immediately, and Eugene nodded to him.
"What are you two talking dumb?" Donna asked impatiently.
"Today we..." Xia Zuo told Donna all about Kingsley's plan and the anxious little banquet that followed.
After hearing this, she calmed down and said, "Anyway, be careful, I think Kingsley may have other plans."
"Understood." Eugene came over and turned off Xia Zuo's light screen with a wave of his hand.
Xia Zuo watched helplessly as he hugged the pillow and squeezed onto the bed he was lying on: "What are you doing?"
Eugene replied solemnly, speaking calmly as if about to pour a glass of water: "Sleep."
Xia Zuo pushed him: "Sleep, why are you on my bed?"
Eugene didn't even blink: "My bed is wet."
Xia Zuo blushed when he thought of how the two Chitiao IIItiao slept together in their arms in the afternoon.
☆, breakup and goodbye
Due to their special identities, the two won the places in the finals without taking part in the comprehensive evaluation. As for popularity, the two young people with magic and legendary lives have already caused a sensation in the entire galaxy, and everyone is waiting for them to show their talents in the finals.
Kingsley gave Eugene the boat ticket for Sagittarius A and the ticket for the auditorium.
"This kind of precious thing looks more reliable in Eugene's place." He explained in this way.
Xia Zuo kicked a small stone out of sight sullenly, and the stone rolled and rolled and stopped in front of a person.Xia Zuo raised his head and showed a happy expression: "Nell!"
He and Eugene were pretty much quarantined after the team game, and Kingsley didn't allow their squad members to get close until today, when they were about to board the spaceship back to NC20013.
"Xia Zuo...Eugene." Nell's eyes flashed a gloomy light.
"I'm sorry, I've been under house arrest by the old thief Kingsley for the past few days, and I can't come to see you at all. I wanted to contact you through the terminal, but your signals have been blocked." Xia Zuo put both hands on his chest , making a begging gesture.
"It's okay." Nell forced a smile, "I should have thought about it a long time ago. From the first day I came to the Katz training ground, you are so different. I, the weakest, even hugged your thighs and survived safely. today."
"It's not like that." Xia Zuo said softly, "You've been working hard."
"What's the use of hard work? Hard work can't compare to a talented person, and hard work can't make my mother live a good life." Nell suddenly raised his head, "A talented person like you will never understand me. pain."
Xia Zuo looked at the interstellar ferry ticket made of metal and the banquet ticket made of the same material in Eugene's hands.Wouldn't he be happier if these two things were given to Nell?After all, I was the one who promised to protect him and help him, but now I have to leave here before him.
"Instead of feeling sorry for yourself here, it's better to spend time learning how to become stronger." Eugene put two pieces of metal with huge wealth in his pocket, walked up to Nell and said coldly, "You only saw us You have no idea what kind of hardships we have endured in order to obtain this strength."
In Xia Zuo's impression, although Eugene did not speak well, he seldom said such harsh words. The two of them were his friends. He was at a loss for a while, like a goose standing in front of Nell, wanting to say something , but his throat seemed to be choked, making him unable to utter a word.
Nell was silent for a moment, pushed him away and left here quickly.Xia Zuo wanted to call him to stop, but was scared by his hateful eyes and took a step back.
"Why?" Xia Zuo murmured.
He thought Nell was his good friend, the first friend he made in the galaxy other than Donna.But now, maybe not as he thought.
Eugene put his hands in his pockets, and the flying car that was specially designed to take them to the transfer station was parked in front of him.
"Still leaving, do you want to wait for him to change his mind?" He asked looking at Xia Zuo's back.
"Why do you talk to him like that!" Xia Zuo turned his head and shouted at Eugene angrily, "Why are you making fun of someone who is working hard?"
"You are like an old hen, raising a lost wolf cub under its wings, and when he grows up, you will be his food." Eugene sneered, "You know what happened last night ?"
"Last night?" Xia Zuo froze for a moment.
"Your little Nell got our address out of nowhere and stood out the window staring at us," Eugene continued as if telling someone else's story. "I woke up and he waved me out."
"and then?"
"Then? Hehe." Eugene laughed, "He stood in the garden and took off his clothes to seduce me."
"Seduce?!" As if struck by lightning, Xia Zuo looked in the direction where Nell disappeared in disbelief, "Why?"
"Besides the golden ticket for the auditorium, what other reason made him do such a thing. Could it be that he fell in love with me?" Eugene frowned in disgust.
"That's not a golden ticket. The material is called silicon gold iron." Xia Zuo corrected in a murmur, and then he said as if he was relieved, "What? He fell in love with you? Why didn't he fall in love with me, obviously I care about him more."
"Is this the time to talk about this?" Eugene twisted Xia Zuo's collar and threw him onto the flying car, "Hurry up and give the ticket to Donna, and then go back to the Scarlet Plain. I have a bad feeling that something big is going to happen It's about to happen."
Kingsley gave them a two-month holiday and advised them to keep their tails between their legs like mice and stay out of publicity.After returning to star NC20013, the two went directly to the store opened by Donna.It was the rush hour for getting off work, and the store was brightly lit, and many social people in well-fitted suits were busy shopping.It has to be said that, as a medium-level star, the living conditions of NC20013 are hundreds of times better than those of the low-level star ZE00001. At least people don’t have to worry about being infected by cosmic ray radiation because they don’t wear protective clothing.
Donna's fiery red curly hair fluttered behind the counter, she suddenly raised her head and saw Xia Zuo and Eugene at the door, and hurriedly called the clerk beside her to take her place.
"You guys are back." Donna took them to a hidden room on the second floor, and poured them two cups of coffee—this is the star product brought back from the Skyrim Continent, and it is deeply loved by customers.
Eugene put two golden strips into Donna's hands, and she looked at them over and over in her hands after receiving them, and then laughed: "It's really not easy to keep them without identity-bound tickets and entrance tickets. Did anyone see you coming in? I mean the seekers who got wind of it."
"Don't worry, after we got out of the transit station, we had to change vehicles five times to get to you." Xia Zuo took off the mask on his face and gasped, "But everyone knows that Eugene and I have an older sister. Isn't it superfluous?"
Donna raised a finger and shook it: "One of the conditions I asked you to negotiate with Kingsley before was not to divulge my information, so I'm still safe."
She called out the identity terminal, and with a "beep", a stone slab popped out from the corner of the wall. The color of the slate was exactly the same as that of the wall.Xia Zuo looked inside, and there was a small safe inside.Donna put the two precious tickets in and closed the organ again.
"Okay, then please wear your masks and go home." After she finished speaking, she went straight downstairs, apologized to all the customers, and put up the closing sign regardless of the mournful complaints.
When the three returned home, Donna called up the latest audition video released by MJM, which showed Xia Zuo killing the giant mechanical wolf with one blow.
"Our terminals were blocked from communication within a certain range during the team competition. If it was in the Bloody Middle Ages, they would definitely intentionally create this inconvenience in order to create a topic." Xia Zuo said, holding his chin.
"I've improved the monitoring ear studs and changed them into a style that supports calls. I need to study how to bypass the shielding device to do this." Donna said thoughtfully.
"You have two months to study." Xia Zuo said with a smile, "Now we don't need to use magic in secret, and the little cock doesn't need to be improved."
"Where are you going these two months?" Donna asked.
"Go where we should go." Xia Zuo laughed, "The store is almost sold out, and Eugene and I, two hard workers, should act again."
"Donna, what do you know about the royal family?" Eugene asked suddenly, he was leaning casually on the sofa with his fingers crossed.
"I don't know about the royal family." Donna's expression was unnatural for a moment, and then returned to normal again, "In the galaxy, every intelligent race has a royal family, maybe this is the root of the evolution of species. But with the development of time , the royal family is gradually declining, and the alliance government is also unwilling to have the royal family take power."
"Really." Eugene stared at Donna, as if trying to see through her.
Donna's red hair was like a burning flame, against her fair face, it seemed to be smeared with a touch of rouge.
"I've been busy all day, I'm too sleepy, I'm going to bed." Donna stood up, stretched herself and walked towards the bedroom.
"What are you talking about, Eugene?" Xia Zuo asked softly after Donna closed the door.
"Donna is not an ordinary person. I am very familiar with her temperament, and she is definitely not an ordinary person." Eugene replied, "So I guess she will definitely not be an ordinary deported criminal on the Val colonial planet, and she should have a strong relationship with the royal family. Otherwise, from the time when she came from the White Eagle Gang, she avoided talking about our magic, and even diverted the topic consciously."
"Donna is our friend." Xia Zuo paused and said, "Actually, in my eyes, she is like a big sister, the kind of big sister who would drive me to work with a feather duster when I was paralyzed at home."
"I didn't say what would happen to her." Eugene said helplessly, "She may have special reasons for not revealing all this to us, but it doesn't mean that we ignore the danger. Sagittarius A will be in danger. "
After the two said goodnight, Xia Zuo covered his head under the quilt, and gradually fell asleep thinking about what happened recently.He dreamed again of that night that was burnt by flames, and the wicked smile on Jasmine's face seemed to be pierced into his heart like a sharp knife.
"Miss Jasmine!" He sat up from the bed and found that it was dawn outside.
"Are you going to sleep until the afternoon?" Eugene pushed open the bedroom door, and a smell of baking bread came in from outside.
Xia Zuo straightened himself up, and quickly transferred himself from the bed to the dining table.During the month at Katz's training ground, he basically didn't eat well. In addition, his stomach had already been sucked by Eugene, so the food in the cafeteria really didn't catch his attention.
"Nostalgic!" He put a spoonful of fresh-cut mango glutinous rice into his mouth, with a satisfied expression on his face.
"Seeing your appearance, I can't help but wonder if Katz's training ground is abusing audition candidates." Donna slowly stirred up the latte art of coffee, and she seems to have fallen in love with this action recently.
"There is no doubt, they are just abusing you." Xia Zuo said with lingering fear, "There are more than 1 people who participated in the audition, and only 1000 people are left. More than 80.00% of the people died in this competition. If it is not because of me and Eugene would have died a long time ago if he had his hole cards."
Donna looked down at the milk froth floating in the coffee cup. After a moment of silence, she finally raised her head and said, "When the official competition is over, no matter whether you succeed or not, I will confess something to you."
Xia Zuo raised his eyebrows indifferently, and stuffed the last bite of dessert into his mouth: "You can do whatever you want, I hope we will have our lives to wait until that day."
"We're going to be away for a while, and we'll be back before the official game." Eugene suddenly said to divert this dull topic, "I've already told Kingsley that during our 'vacation', I will contact you if there is anything."
Donna nodded: "No problem, tell Kingsley not to disclose my information to the rest."
☆、The Kidnapped Jasmine
The sky of the Scarlet Plain seems to be covered with a layer of light red tulle forever, especially in the setting sun, the red color between the sky and the earth has no boundaries and no end.The Veranika Monastery stands far away in this red, like a gray cage.The angelic girl did not run out of the monastery cheerfully to meet Xia Zuo as usual, instead a small snake covered with black scales led a middle-aged nun with a sad face quickly running towards them.
"Masters, you are finally back!" Sister Karma's eyes were bloodshot, and the thick dark circles made her sunken eyes even more vicissitudes.
"Sister Karma, what's the matter?" Xia Zuo held Sister Karma's arm, so that the lady who seemed to have been sleepless for days and nights would not fall due to an unstable center of gravity.
"Jasmine was taken away by Raphael XI!" Sister Karma covered her face and wept, "Those herdsmen's children tricked Jasmine into the mansion of that smug man for a little profit. I went to the door to make a fuss several times but returned without success."
Xia Zuo immediately became anxious when he heard this, and said, "Jasmine has a very high reputation here, and he dared to attack Jasmine so blatantly, isn't he afraid of being attacked by the people?"
"Don't mention it, I ask those who have been helped by Jasmine to join me in finding Raphael XI. But that is a bunch of white-eyed wolves, useless!" Sister Karma cursed, "They are afraid of Raphael XI All of them hid and kept silent."
"Sister Karma, don't worry, I'll go and rescue Jasmine!"
Xia Zuo turned around and was about to leave, but Eugene grabbed him and said, "Come back to me, how many magicians are enshrined in King Raphael XI's mansion, rushing up like this... He sneered and continued, "You can only be a target based on your current use of magic."
"At the most critical moment, you unseal the seal, and I'll bring your mind back." Xia Zuo said in a rough voice, sticking his neck.
Before he finished speaking, his eyes darkened and he passed out.Eugene caught him very smoothly, carried him on his shoulders, and walked towards the monastery.
"Master Eugene, what are you..." Sister Karma looked at Eugene puzzled, just now he mercilessly gave Xia Zuo a hand knife that caused coma.
"He's too emotional now, let me check on Jasmine's situation instead of him." Eugene put Xia Zuo on the bed and put the sandwich on his lap into his pocket, "Sister Karma, you can go first Pack your bags. If I rescue Jasmine, maybe she needs to leave the Scarlet Plain immediately."
"It doesn't matter, this child has suffered too much with me, so it's fine to let her go." Sister Kama solemnly bowed to Eugene, "Master Eugene, if possible, please take Jasmine away from here. Give her Find a safe place and let this child live happily." Eugene nodded slightly, pulled up his cloak and walked out.
The bitter cold wind is eroding the ground unscrupulously, and there is still a lot of cold air pouring through the cracks into the warm houses, or the dilapidated shantytowns, or the desolate lawns of the parks in the middle of the street.This winter night was very different from every previous winter night. Except for a few vultures hovering in the sky waiting to eat, everything in Casserton City was going on as usual, step by step.
No one's life trajectory is affected by a nun's misfortune.After the last pedestrian outside Raphael XI's mansion left, Eugene manipulated the dark element to cast a hidden magic on himself.At the same time, Sandwich crawled out of his pocket and sneaked into the courtyard without making a sound.
After a while, Sandwich appeared from the darkness, and it raised its head towards Eugene to signal him to follow.One person and one snake came to a gorgeous room without alarming anyone.There are expensive decorations displayed in the room, the most conspicuous is the large bed in the middle that can accommodate five grown men.The four bedposts are carved with romantic patterns; the bed curtain from top to bottom is embroidered with fine stitches and several layers of hand-stitched lace; the bed sheets are made of the most expensive mulberry silk, soft and delicate, warm in winter and cool in summer .
What is extremely inconsistent is that there is a silver-black iron chain on the bedpost, and at the other end of this iron chain is a pair of white and tender feet.The owner of the little feet was hugging her legs and weeping silently, her golden curly hair was scattered on her shoulders, rising and falling with her movements, which was very pitiful.
"Sister Jasmine." Eugene's voice interrupted her sadness abruptly. Jasmine raised her head in surprise, and then coughed excitedly.
"Shh." Eugene gestured to her to shut up, "Keep your voice down, there are at least 20 magicians around here guarding your 'safety'."
"I'm sorry." Jasmine forced herself to calm down, and said to Eugene in a low voice.
Eugene put his hands on the iron chain that imprisoned Jasmine's freedom, the golden light was fleeting, and the iron chain snapped.
"I'm sorry." Youjin tied her to his back with a rope. If Xia Zuo were here, he would definitely recognize that it was the metal rope that Eugene used so well during the team competition at the Katz training ground. s material.
With the blessing of concealment magic and Sandwich, the night python's affinity for the dark element, Eugene took Jasmine back to the monastery without alarming anyone.
At this time, everyone has fallen asleep, only one room is still brightly lit.Xia Zuo and Sister Karma sat on two chairs, one on the left and the other on the right, looking out the window anxiously.After Xia Zuo woke up, although he was angry with Eugene's actions, he thought that what he said was very reasonable, so he obediently stayed in the monastery and waited for Eugene's triumphant return.
Eugene stepped into the room from the dark night with dew on his face, and he was looking at the two of them with pear blossoms at this time, with a small white face exposed in his cloak.
"Jasmine, are you alright?" Sister Karma rushed up and hugged Jasmine, checking her body.
"Did that damn Raphael do it to you...!" Xia Zuo couldn't bear to say anything in the middle of the sentence.
"I'm fine. Raphael XI wanted to win my heart, so he never touched me." Jasmine hugged the hot milk that Kama handed over, and sat on a chair wrapped in a quilt. Embarrassed, he poured out all his experiences.
"It's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have it..." Sister Karma muttered, and she hugged Jasmine again because of her distress.
"Sister Karma, have Jasmine's luggage been packed? Raphael XI should have discovered that Jasmine is missing by now, and the monastery will be the first place he searches." Eugene's words broke the warmth in the room.
"I won't leave here!" Jasmine begged and looked at Sister Karma, "If I leave, King Raphael XI will make things difficult for you!"
"I'm just an old woman in Veronica Monastery, what can he do with me?" Sister Karma lovingly touched Jasmine's head, "Go, child!"
Jasmine laid her head on Sister Karma's lap, and her tears fell like pearls one by one on Sister Kama's black nun's dress, and soon smeared a large swath of dark water.
"Sister Karma, why don't you go with Jasmine so that she can always feel at ease." Xia Zuo suggested.
"No, Veronica Monastery needs someone to guard it." Sister Karma looked at the holy and soft goddess statue in the center of the courtyard through the window rail. Even at night, the clasped hands on its chest still gave off a holy light.
At this moment, a ball of light struck from a distance, and exploded into an envelope.Eugene made a silent gesture, pulled the cloak and walked out the door.After a while, he entered the room with the envelope made of high-grade sheepskin. Sister Karma's face changed when she saw the envelope in his hand. The red seal on the envelope was clearly the family crest of Raphael I.
Eugene opened the envelope, frowned, and then turned his gaze to Jasmine: "Who is Mike?"
It was said that both Xia Zuo and Sister Karma were staring at Jasmine.It's just that Xia Zuo's eyes revealed surprise, while Sister Karma was full of doubts.
Jasmine suddenly felt that her throat was extremely dry, and there seemed to be a voice roaring in her head all the time. She seemed determined to take a deep breath and asked, "Mike is my lover."
"Impossible! Nonsense!" It was Sister Kama who spoke, and she was dignified and reserved like an angry old hen, asking sharply, "You are a holy nun, how can you fall in love with others! Have you forgotten what I taught you since childhood!"
"I'm sorry Sister Karma, but Mike and I really love each other." Jasmine covered her face with her hands, and sobbed softly again.
Xia Zuo stood up and interrupted Sister Kama's questioning. He turned his attention to Eugene: "Since Raphael XI asked the magician to send the letter to the monastery, it proves that he knows that Jasmine was rescued here. Let's take a look at the letter first." What did you say?"
Eugene nodded and handed the letter to the three of them. Jasmine snatched it up and started to read it, her chest heaving and falling, and she was very emotional.
"I'm going to save him!" Jasmine stood up and threw the warm quilt aside.
"Don't go!" Sister Karma slapped the table and spilled the milk in the cup.
"He fell into Raphael XI's hands because of me. I can't sit idly by." Jasmine showed unprecedented firmness and toughness.
"Exchange your freedom for a man who deceived you astray? I will never allow it! Absolutely!" Sister Kama also stood up, using her thin and short body to stop Jasmine.
"Wait." Xia Zuo separated the two fiery women with his hands, and he said with a wry smile, "Jasmine, let Eugene and I rescue Mike, I've seen him before, trust me."
"What? You also know about her and Mike?" Sister Karma stared at Xia Zuo angrily, which made him scratch his head in embarrassment and hide himself behind Eugene.
Although his liking for Jasmine has turned into a friendship, Xia Zuo always feels awkward about saving his former love rival.He will not tell others that he is jealous of the fate of that handsome young man, who is as handsome and handsome as the heroine in all novels, and makes the heroine so obsessed with everything that he gives everything.
But after thinking about it, he suddenly felt relieved: "Why am I jealous of him? If Mike is the hero in a love story, am I not the hero in a heroic epic? Isn't a tragic hero more important than a story about being crazy about love?" charming."
Eugene glanced at Xia Zuo who made the decision for himself, and nodded helplessly: "That's it, Jasmine, you stay here first, we'll go find Mike."
Jasmine clenched her hands tightly, turning her body so as not to face Sister Karma's reprimanding eyes, she nodded after a moment of silence, "Please, my lords. If you fail, I will go and talk to Rafael again." Negotiate for a lifetime."
"I won't fail, trust me!" Xia Zuo smacked his nose with his thumb, noticed Eugene's cold gaze, and immediately added a word, "You guys!"
The author has something to say: Haha
☆, escape and lies
The pre-ancient period actually covered 3000 years in the history of Skyrim. Since eight saints and twelve heroes appeared successively during that time, later generations collectively referred to these 3000 years as the pre-ancient period.In addition to this group of people standing at the top of history, in the era when countless heroes were born, there was a woman whose name always shone on the Scarlet Plain——Veranika, who sealed the Scarlet Demon with her own power, was called by later generations goddess.However, according to the author's research, some folk legends, the story of Veronica seems to be different from the records in the history books.
—— "The Bard Jokes About Heroes" Chapter 11
----------------
Raphael XI is a person who pursues the ultimate quality of life. His room must be lit with snow mountain incense imported from the northern kingdom; the air temperature must be five degrees lower than body temperature; the tables and chairs must be wiped spotlessly; The servant's nails must be longer than the fingernails by 3 millimeters... If there is any point that is not done, it will make him uncomfortable. If he is uncomfortable, someone in Raphael's mansion will die.
Raphael XI, who claimed to control everything, unfortunately did not inherit the magic power of his parents, which he regarded as the only failure in his life, so he did not allow a second failure in his life.But obviously, the beautiful nun in the monastery outside the city made him encounter Waterloo again.
But it doesn't matter, this matter is far from the time to admit defeat.Raphael XI turned his head and looked at the one-meter-high iron cage at his feet. There was nothing in the cage, and the cage door engraved with the Raphael family emblem was blowing with the wind, making a creaking sound. .Raphael XI put his gorgeous sheepskin boots on the iron cage and smiled with confidence.
Xia Zuo and Eugene were lurking in Raphael XI's backyard at this time, as if waiting for their visit. The originally silent night had been lit by countless torches, turning half of the sky into a turmoil. up red.
The magicians enshrined by Raphael XI were in groups of three and patrolled the yard non-stop, making it impossible for Eugene and Xia Zuo to detect Mike's location.In desperation, the two had no choice but to release the sandwich, letting the night python turn into a snake and slip into the mansion to look for Mike.
After half an hour, Sandwich appeared under the shadow of the trees by the courtyard wall. It uttered a snake letter and shook its head at Eugene. Its small mung bean-sized eyes were full of humanity and showed a disappointed expression.
"Didn't find it?" Xia Zuo asked nervously.
"Hiss, hiss~" was probably an answer. After all, the chicken and the duck were talking, and the two could only find the answer from the sandwich movement.
"Is Raphael XI here?" Eugene asked again.
"Hiss, hiss~" Sandwich stood up and shook his head again.
"Too bad, it's a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain." Eugene frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Go back to the monastery, Jasmine is in danger."
Ten minutes ago, the Veronica Monastery outside the city of Casserton welcomed a person who should not be here at all.He skillfully climbed into the courtyard wall, and found the room where Jasmine and Sister Karma were.A small silvery-white light spot projected from the window into the room, avoiding Sister Karma's sight and landing on Jasmine's hand.
Jasmine, who was lowering her head and letting her eyes go empty, noticed that this small silver spot suddenly raised her head, and her eyes fell outside the window.Sister Kama noticed her movement and immediately looked up at her.
"Jasmine?"
From the time Eugene and Xia Zuo left until now, this pair of women who were originally as close as mother and daughter have not said a word.
"Sister Karma, I'm hungry, I want to go to the kitchen to get some food, do you need it?" She lowered her head and whispered, who was not good at lying.
"Go." Sister Kama put her hands on her forehead and waved her hands. She hasn't had a good rest since Jasmine was taken away. Although Jasmine was rescued, the matter is far from over.Thinking of this, she stretched out her fingers to massage her tired temples.
Holding her skirt, Jasmine walked out of the room steadily, following the winding rain pavilion until the room where Sister Karma was located was no longer in sight, a tall and handsome man jumped out from the shadows, he hugged Jasmine and She hugged and kissed.
"Mike! Great, you're fine!" Jasmine's tears flowed down her cheeks to her lips, and a bitter taste entered between Mike's lips and teeth.
"Honey, follow me quietly. If you stay here, you will hurt other people instead." Mike gently wiped away Jasmine's tears.
"But Xia Zuo and the others are going to rescue you, I can't sneak away like this." Jasmine let go of Mike's hand and shook her head.
Hearing Xia Zuo's name, an undetectable gloom flashed across Mike's face, and then he showed a sincere expression: "Don't worry, they will come back if they can't find me at Raphael XI. Just leave a letter to reassure them.
