Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 36: The times have changed
The most outrageous thing in the world is probably that there is a sudden addition of an Exter in the banquet of the stars.
is still nowhere to be seen.
At the reminder of Thales’s glance, Glover and Doyle both urged to ask, and finally pulled the ignorant bearded Jorge to the corner of the hall and got rid of the surrounding guests. Curious and probing eyes.
"If you want me to say that you southerners are just fine looking for trouble, you will get nervous if you make a wrong name..."
Jorge complained without restraint.
"I used to mistakenly write the letter from the Grand Duke to King Nunn as'Respected King of Dragon City', and I didn't see what the King of Nature did to me, so I still gave money to help us fight the mountain bandits. , I'm old..."
Doyle curled his lips, and Glover looked away.
Even though his temperament is as unrestrained as the former and silent and restrained as the latter, he is not accustomed to the casual and rudeness of this guest.
Only Thales laughed while listening to the other's rude and heavy northern accent.
I heard such accents in the well-organized Mindis Hall and the banquets that are everywhere. It's really rare.
It seems that he has returned to the proud, rugged and straight north.
I saw the official Jorge laughed and said:
"Haha, maybe you forgot, Polaris, but we met each other!"
Thales suspiciously:
"When?"
"Wow, you are so forgetful, right?"
Listening to the other party's grinning tone, apart from being abrupt, Thales had a strange kind of intimacy.
But he is obviously just a passerby of Exter.
Here, Star Kingdom, Yongxing City, this is his home, isn't it?
Jorge is in high spirits:
"A few years ago, at the hunting ceremony in Longxiao City, the little girl from the Waltons took your hand—hey, you are so bold if you want me—all the Northland boys present sent it Sour, rushing up in groups, I want to learn martial arts with you in-depth exchange of friendly duels..."
Thales' expression changed suddenly.
Jorge is very happy, and he spits:
"The scene is very chaotic, noisy, maybe others have not seen it, but I have sharp eyes, but she hides you in the skirt..."
Thales turned pale.
Regardless of the face of the guard behind him, he rushed up in three or two steps, holding Jorge's unceasingly waving hand.
"Cough! Thank you! Jorge is an official!"
Thales interrupted him passionately and moved.
"I have truly felt the pride of Elk City!"
He shook Jorge's hand vigorously, hoping that he would stop speaking.
Jorge was startled at first, then squinted and lowered his head, his expression clear.
makes Thales more depressed.
As a listener, Doyle arched Glover playfully, but unfortunately the latter just frowned and didn't mean to share his interests.
"Hey, by the way, talk about this."
Jorge naturally put his arms on the Duke’s shoulders, like a good buddy whispering:
"Grand Duke Gadro has a son-Igor is the heir to Elk City. He is a good young man. Among the gifts I brought is the seal skins and bear skins he hunted. You are of equal status. I am talented, I should be able to talk..."
was encouraged by the official, and swayed the Prince vigorously:
"You will like him!"
Thales was shaken by him so that his smirk was distorted:
"Igor, right? I guess I will..."
But Jorge squinted his eyes:
"But more than that, you have to know that the Grand Duke has three daughters..."
Telston feels bad.
"Although the first person has been married twice, he is a good man. It is guaranteed that you will have children in groups of less than 20, and the descendants will have no worries..."
"The second one is great. The bow and horse are adept at piercing Yang with a hundred steps. Even the veterans also have to thumb up. With her on the bed, you don't need to arrange guards to stay at night..."
Thales’ smile gradually solidified.
"The third, the third..."
Jorge stuck in the shell for a while, hesitated for a moment, then hesitated:
"Also, also, it can also be..."
patted Duke Xinghu’s shoulder on the shoulder of the official "Northland", and cut Thales into chaos when he fled. After returning to China, the perfect hairstyle that he managed to grow back was messy:
"I know, you grew up blowing the wind of our north, you must prefer hard ones..."
"How about?"
Jorge's eyes lit up:
"Consider taking a look?"
The prince squeezed a smile with difficulty.
It took several minutes for Thales to escape Jorge's enthusiasm. He invited the bear-like guests back to the banquet hall, and promised to change him to a bigger seat.
The guards accompanying the prince have funny expressions.
Mallos, who had been silent for a while, came forward and reminded the prince of the list of guests he would welcome next, but after speaking...
"By the way, about the story he told, you know, that's the one you hid in the skirt..." The watchman hesitated.
Thales, who has always been easy-going, raised his head instantly.
has a fierce expression and chooses people to eat.
"Don't ask," Duke Xinghu gritted his teeth:
"You are still my favorite captain of the guard."
Mallos squinted his eyes, with a clear look on his heart, and he was intrigued:
"Then, I will arrange other things first. I hope you enjoy the banquet."
Looking at the back of the other person turning and leaving, Thales sighed in frustration.
"Your Highness..." Doyle's voice came from behind him.
Thales was not alert, and his eyebrows were cold.
"Don't worry, I, I don't ask..."
I saw D.D shaking his hand awkwardly:
"I just want to say that I understand very well, I also experienced that bad situation..."
"Cough—cough hum!"
Glover on the other side seems to have a cold, coughing repeatedly, interrupting Doyle’s nonsense:
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Doyle slammed back, but Thales's expression worsened.
Okay.
Thales pulled his head back stiffly, in a gloomy mood.
Wait for him to become king, the first thing to do is to march northward...
Exterminated Exter.
They walked back silently.
"Yankee, huh... the Northlanders in Exter are like this?" Doyle finally raised a less irritating topic.
Thales nodded glumly.
"Half yes."
"As for the other half..."
At this moment, a cry full of surprise and excitement came from the side:
"Tyles Canxing!"
All three were shocked.
In the footsteps and shouts, in the far hallway, Zoneved and Piloga from the Star Lake Guard stubbornly stopped a guest who wanted to rush towards the prince. The latter waved his hands and wanted to approach Tai. Sorry.
Thales looked at the other person's appearance---the ears of the pot cover--somewhat inexplicably familiar.
until he saw the glittering sword blade emblem on the guest's clothing.
"Fortunately, at the following Vi Trudida, rebuild the son of the Grand Duke of the Tower." The guest smiled flatteringly, speaking the same familiar Northland accent, but the accent was much shallower than Jorge.
Rebuild the tower, Trudida?
This is interesting.
Another much older, more cunning, more majestic and majestic pot cover appeared in his memory.
Thales nodded and asked the guards to let go of the Northlander, who had come to the door without any guidance, and let him come closer.
"Is Levi right?"
Thales squeezed out his iconic social smile: "I know your father, Grand Duke Trudida..."
"What a coincidence," Levi squinted and smiled:
"I know him too."
Thales was silent for a while at this terrible joke.
Little Trudida?
He looked at the smirk on Levi's face and the sparkle in his eyes.
Well, it’s my own.
"Very well, please take it to your father for me."
Thales sighed, determined not to be entangled anymore:
"I hope you enjoy the party."
The prince turned and left.
"Your Highness!"
Levi spoke anxiously.
But Zoneved behind him firmly pressed the opponent's shoulder, with a clear warning.
Thales turned around.
"I know you are busy with people, so, okay, I'll get straight to the point." Levi sighed with an expression of willingness.
Thales blinked.
Under the noisy background sound of the banquet, I saw Levi squinting his eyes:
"You know, it’s not easy for me to come here. I was going to buy some souvenirs to take home, but I ran into some trouble... Damn market bureaucrats and businessmen conspired to raise prices without saying, but deliberately asked for trouble... "
"Souvenir?" Thales was taken aback.
"You know, travel," Levi shrugged, like a spoiled brother:
"Buy some this, buy some that, and bring some specialties."
"Specialty?" Thales raised his eyebrows.
Levi smiled awkwardly:
"It's nothing, just something to eat, wear, and play."
"Eat?" Thales' tone became more suspicious.
He stared at each other.
"Yes, I like it best." Levi still smiled:
"I only need some local officials to do it conveniently..."
Thales looked at him for a few seconds.
"Can't do it."
Damn the Northlander.
Thales said coldly:
"I'm just a newcomer, self-cultivation prince."
Thales was about to turn around after saying that, Levi hurriedly spoke again:
"I know, I know!"
"But don't worry, Your Highness, you don't have to do anything! Don't do it!"
Thales looked at him questioningly.
Levi got rid of Zoneved’s restraint, ignoring the other's disgusting expression:
"At the banquet to be held, you just need to let me stand by your side for a while. It seems to be talking and laughing. The official who troubled me was also here today. He squeezed his head and wanted to approach you."
Levi looked at Thales anxiously.
"Sorry," Thales shook his head, preparing to leave:
"Maybe you should take out your official status and go to the Department of Foreign Affairs to see what they can do."
"But..."
Levi said again, this time, he was a little pleading.
"Once, this is too high-profile, too eye-catching, you know..."
"Er Lai..."
He shrugged embarrassedly:
"The exchange rate is not good recently, my... has limited funds."
is too high profile...
The exchange rate is not good...
etc.
rebuild the tower.
Trudida.
bring special products?
The prince pondered for a while, somewhat clear.
"Okay, but if I help you," Thales turned his head and snorted:
"What can I get?"
Levi froze for a moment, then released an awkward smile:
"...Friendship from the Reconstruction Tower and the Trudida family?"
Thales raised his eyebrows.
Recreate the friendship between Tower and Trudida.
sounds good.
is...
Thales chuckled softly.
How much is worth?
Looking at the other person's reaction, Levi seemed to know his family's reputation.
"Well, listen to me..."
Levi took a deep breath, ignoring the faces of Glover and Doyle, approached Thales’ ears and whispered something.
Thales' face changed.
Unexpectedly, after a few seconds, Thales nodded solemnly.
"Deal."
Levi's eyes lit up and snapped his fingers.
Little Trudida smiled and said:
"I knew you were good to talk. It is worthwhile to say that my father praised every day that there is a Thales in the stars..."
But the Duke of Xinghu interrupted him.
"I remember that your father is cautious, thinks twice about everything, and never bets easily," the prince said lightly:
"You come to the stars to find me at this time, he has no objection?"
Levi paused for a while, but looked at the prince intriguingly.
"As a son," Levi stared at him with a deep smile: "If everything is always controlled by his father..."
"You can never grow up, right?"
Thales was silent for a while.
He suddenly thought of another grand prince’s son, the Viscount Fengcheng of Qiyuan City, Ian Ronnie, the "hateful ghost".
"Thank you for your frankness, I will tell Grand Duke Trudida this sentence." Thales said lightly.
"I can't ask for it," Levi didn't panic, but smiled slyly:
"Then he will know that not every son is eligible to be mentioned by the famous ‘Polaris’ who reversed the fate of Exeter."
Hearing this name, Thales frowned.
"You...the Northlanders call me that?"
"Of course there are others, but this one sounds best..."
Levi looked at Thales cautiously, grinning:
"Or, would you rather be called the "Little Star of the Grand Duke"?"
Thales' face turned black.
The surrounding guards looked at each other, and their expressions became strange again.
Thales sighed.
Polaris.
this nickname......
Sunset, this is a prince who came back from Exter, is he not having enough trouble in the Star Kingdom?
people from the north, thank you so much.
Just when Levi was about to leave, Thales suddenly said:
"Then King Chaman has no objection to you coming to my banquet?"
Hearing that name, Levi's face changed.
He was silent for a few seconds.
"Duke, today is your day of great joy..."
Little Trudida looked around and whispered:
"Let's not mention bad things."
Thales said goodbye to him politely, contented Levi, only then, under the "escort" of Zoneved and Piloga, turned back and left.
But when the prince turned around, his expression went cold.
"Glover," Thales said gloomily:
"Go find where Gilbert is and bring him to see me."
Brother Luo Fu frowned slightly.
Doyle next to was startled:
"Now? But your Highness, according to reports, the guardian duke of the East China Sea, that is, Prime Minister Cullen is coming soon, I need you..."
But Thales suddenly raised his voice:
"Go to his prime minister."
The Duke of Xinghu speaks in a cold voice, every word is disturbing:
"Now, immediately, immediately..."
Thales glared coldly:
"Give me, find, Gilbert Casso."
The two people who were used to the prince’s gentle character were all surprised.
Glover didn't say much, he immediately turned and left, leaving only the anxious Doyle with Thales, giving him a worried look from time to time.
Gilbert appeared in front of him soon, with a puzzled face.
But Thales rejected Doyle and Glover, straightforwardly:
"What happened to Exter?"
Gilbert was suddenly startled:
"What's the matter? It should be all normal...After eradicating the dissident, Chaman I has been busy calming the inside..."
But Thales interrupted him impatiently:
"Gilbert!"
"Just now, two people from the North stopped me rudely, and one of them even called me "The King of Stars" directly under the eyes of everyone."
Gilbert's face changed.
Thales takes a step forward, his eyes are sharp:
"Do you understand?"
Gilbert and the prince looked at each other for a second, and sighed slightly:
"You know, today is your big day. After today, you can formally enter the social circle of Everstar City and step on the stage of the kingdom. If there is anything to do, it will not be as good as..."
But Thales just stared at each other:
"Gilbert, six years ago, you brought me to Mindis Hall."
"So I trust you."
"More than others."
Looking at the prince's expression, Gilbert hesitated to speak, his expression complicated.
A few seconds later, Count Caso slowly sighed.
"A few days ago, there was a battle report from Exeter."
Thales' expression tightened.
really.
I saw Gilbert swept away the joy and ease of the banquet day, his expression was serious, and he entered a thorough working state:
"Dragons, praying for a distance, guarding, the three cities are united, nearly 20,000 soldiers from the North, going out of the country aggressively, all the way is like a broken bamboo, the Freedom League is retreating steadily, and the entire Golden Corridor is trembling."
"Not long ago, the Exeters finally crushed the city and besieged Freedom Fort."
Thales nodded.
As one of the participants in the incident, he clearly remembers the internal and external causes of this war, its forces, and the dramatic setbacks.
"I know that Exeter wants to reiterate their hegemony and position in the golden corridor..."
The small freedom alliance has affected the political situation of the western continent—whether it is the 16th city of Camus, the white elves of the White Mountain, or other countries on the Golden Corridor, it has been reckless 20 years ago After intervening, he was lifted lightly by King Nunn, his front teeth fell with a slap, and his muscles and bones were broken...
In the face of this crisis, in the face of the three cities in the North, all the forces would rather stay on the sidelines and stand by, and no one would dare to touch the dragon.
Including the Star Kingdom that took advantage of the Freedom League.
But Thales realized something.
"Your expression, Gilbert."
"What happened?"
The foreign secretary looked at Thales’ reaction and sighed:
"You know, a few months ago, Kingdom Secret Branch's intelligence point in Exeter was just hit hard and it is still being rebuilt..."
"The news I got is very messy, and I'm still verifying one by one. The secret department has been very busy these days..."
Thales ignores these clichés directly:
"Then what do you know?"
Gilbert was silent for a while.
Thales stared at him steadily.
"Although it has not been fully verified, but generally..."
Gilbert’s tone is very calm:
"The Exeters were unable to attack the city and suffered heavy losses."
"In a few days, they lost consecutive battles and suffered huge losses."
"Furthermore, the supply was interrupted and the back road was attacked."
"Forced to give up the goal..."
"The whole army retreated."
Thales froze.
"Yes, Your Highness."
At this moment, Gilbert slowly sighed, and between the lines, there is a sadness that can be realized by those who are familiar with history:
"Since the era of Nunn VI, the violent rise, invincible attack, invincible..."
"Under the rule of the born king, hegemony is strong and powerful, and the west is powerful..."
"Countless battles, the invincible kingdom of Exeter..."
Gilbert sighed:
"I lost."
Thales was in a trance for a moment.
Exter.
Northern people.
The Kingdom of the Dragon.
The children of the North Wind and the Dragon.
The descendant of a fellow hero Nicaru.
Lost?
Gilbert was still talking, but Thales seemed to be listening through a curtain, dazed.
In his long life, he always tried his best for his own life, and was exhausted to save himself. In the endless political game and the vortex of the times, he shuttled hard...
But this is the first time he feels this way:
Times have changed~IndoMTL.com~ Thales took a deep breath.
"So I think this makes your appearance today even more important..." Gilbert's words returned to his ears.
But Thales has no intention of listening.
"Small...plug..."
Thales spoke subconsciously, but could only utter a few single notes.
Gilbert frowned.
Until the second prince looks up indifferently:
"Longxiao City...Where is the Grand Duke?"
Gilbert was silent for a while, as if he had expected it, and as if he was hesitant to speak.
But Duke Xinghu’s eyes were too blazing.
is hard to resist.
"According to the current news..."
Gilbert said with difficulty: "After the big victory, the Freedom League claimed..."
"They captured the enemy coach."
"Life and death are unknown."
At that moment, Thales felt silent.
As if the entire Mindis Hall was completely silenced.
