Kingdom’s Bloodline

Chapter 625 Left-hand crown, right-hand magic

“This is where you can find the best place?”

Ashida slowly turned around, pacing, and looked at the entire study.

“Of course, welcome to Star Lake Fort.”

Tyers walked to the window and looked at the star lake under the moonlight, with a heroic atmosphere spreading out his arms, as if he were a domineering posture:

“My fortress, secret, quiet, remote, safe—”

Before Thales was finished, there was a strange noise from the ceiling, creaking, dinging bells, from one end to the other.

Ashida glanced at the ceiling, expressionless.

This made Duke Xinghu’s face a bit uncontrollable.

“—It perfectly meets the requirements of your last letter. It is an excellent meeting place for us,” Thales replied with a calm and calm voice, with a strange noise over the ceiling. “Not only is it far away from the Fuxing Palace, it also comes with a natural landscape…”

Before the voice fell, I heard a splash from the top of my head.

Sand—

A piece of dust spilled from the gap in the ceiling, covering Thales’ confident face.

Ashida is still at ease, standing with her back on her back, without any dust—the dust and gravel are separated by a transparent barrier before falling on him.

“Well, a little bit of a catch,” Thales disappeared calmly. As he coughed, he embarrassedly patted the dust off. “But don’t worry, we have sent people to buy cats and cats in nearby villages and towns. The rat poison is gone, and plan B is to go to Wing Star City to hire a professional rat catcher, without tearing down the roof…”

The magician of Qi ignored him, turned his head and looked around:

The furnishings in the study are old and faded, there are occasionally uncleaned cobwebs and moths in the corner, and a wooden window that opens out is groaning in the wind, shaking.

Tyles patted the top of his head back to his original hair color, walked to the desk and sat down calmly, leaning back.

“Everything is methodical, under control—”

Click!

Before he finished speaking, the chair he was sitting on made a crisp sound.

Tales was short and leaning to one side. The young man had to cling to the tabletop in an embarrassing and skillful manner so as not to slip off.

“Damn it, the carpenter in the farm just came to fix it the day before…”

The Duke cursed angrily.

Ashida stared at him, silent.

“Okay, okay, I know.”

Thales gave up his defense and sighed heavily.

“Xinghu Castle has just started, the conditions are limited, but don’t worry…”

He reached out and grabbed the sky blue invitation card on the table, fold it back and forth skillfully, then leaned down, stuffed it under the broken leg of the chair to stabilize it, and said sarcastically:

“We have a good upward momentum and huge room for development.”

Tyles twisted his hips and confirmed that the chair was stable. Then he got up and sat down, but was stunned to find that the Qi Magician had already “sit” in front of the desk volley, his eyes were faint and waveless.

“I won’t ask you to sit down, anyway…”

The Duke of Xinghu flattened his mouth sourly, helplessly and enviously:

“You brought your own chair.”

But Ashida did not respond to his joke.

The magician lightly pointed, and the mountain breeze that shook the window suddenly stopped.

Ashida has a mild temperature and a nice voice: “You are different.”

“what?”

Ashida’s tone was cold, and the mysterious blue light in her eyes seemed to have some power:

“I said, you are different.”

Tels chuckled.

“Yeah, I’m grown up.”

Tyles bent the corner of his mouth and leaned back and folded his arms:

“By the way, after returning to China, you are probably the twentieth person to say this to me-it’s a pity that only the top nineteen have prizes.”

Ashida was motionless, only a pair of eyes shot directly into Thales’s eyes.

“Do not.”

The voice of the enchanter of Qi is mechanical and hollow.

“My child, you are far from being so relaxed and open-minded on the surface.”

“On the contrary, at this moment, you are impetuous, confused, and disturbed.”

“I am troubled by a cloud of fog that I can’t see clearly.”

Thales narrowed his smile unknowingly.

Impetuous, chaotic, and restless.

His pocket with the covenant ring suddenly became heavy.

“The place where you become different is in the depths.”

The magician still stared at Thales, and the strange blue light overflowed from his pupils, filling the entire eye socket.

“Deeper.”

“The deepest part.”

At that moment, Thales unconsciously tightened, and there was an illusion that his soul was being peeped.

The crime of the prison river surging up uncomfortably.

“God.”

“What?” Thales was taken aback.

“When you hear this word,” the magician said coldly, “what do you think of?”

Tales reacted, this was the “training” they did in Longxiao City.

“But…”

“Answer me, now!”

Axida is uncharacteristically, with a stern attitude, almost like an order:

“God?”

Damn it.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. Anyway, a few words of greeting. Here comes the class test?

Seeing the opponent insisted, Thales had to sigh and answer the question.

“Vague, psychedelic,” the young man lazily muttered the gods, using his brain to say what to say, “fuzzy, far away…”

But as the words spoke, Thales felt a little strange.

“It seems to be here and there, there is nothing in the future of the Tathagata, but can it be said that the imminent is here…”

Thales frowned: Strange, these descriptions, I used to…

But Ashida couldn’t let him think about it.

“The world.”

The magician of Qi speaks faster and has unprecedented weight, and seems to be urging Thales:

“World, what do you think of first? Hurry!”

Tyles’ expression became serious.

“Everything, all, contain, contain, fill,” words popped out of Thales’s heart, making him more and more confused, “extended, remade, continued, all kinds, everywhere…”

Damn, why can’t he say a complete sentence in a short time?

Why, such intermittent words appear in my mind?

Tels wanted to continue, but Ashida gently raised her finger:

“stop.”

“Mr. Sackern,” Thales asked in surprise, “what happened, I think…”

The magician raised his head, his eyes blue light like electricity:

“You are indeed different.”

Thales sank in his heart.

Ashida looked at him seriously.

“A few months ago, a magician tried to knock on the door,” the Qi magician said solemnly, “but it’s different from the time you were in Longxiao City.”

“This time… it was very cautious.”

A few months ago, knocking…

Tyers felt tight:

“Caution?”

The magician nodded:

“It’s like standing in front of the door, my finger touches the door, and before the first tap, I withdrew the gesture.”

“It’s more like a temptation.”

The scene in the prison of bones appeared in front of him, and Thales swallowed his throat.

Aishida looked out the window, her eyes faint:

“I even thought it was an illusion.”

But he immediately turned his head and looked at Thales, who was very nervous:

“At first I didn’t think it was you, because only a complete magician can have that kind of control, but now, after I see you again…”

Ashida repeated the conclusion seriously:

“You are different, right?”

With the feeling of being exposed for doing bad things, Thales had to sigh deeply:

“Yes.”

Ashida has no expression on her face:

“I warned you that it is very dangerous to show magic power in front of people.”

Thales nodded helplessly.

“I was in trouble, as a last resort, so I tried it, but I found that I kept raising the threshold and couldn’t stop…”

“Reckless.”

Tels was a little unhappy, but he insisted on saying:

“I was close to knocking, but thanks to…”

His words were stagnant, and he remembered the magician who was on the threshold.

【I am your earliest predecessor. 】

【The worst role model. 】

【The worst future. 】

Ashida’s words seemed to come from a distance:

“Thanks to what?”

Tyles returned to his eyes, but what came out of his mind was a reminder from another magician:

【Be careful with Ashida. 】

Tyles swallowed his throat and pulled out a smile:

“Thanks to you, Mr. Sackern.”

The blue light flashed in Ashida’s eyes.

“Your questions-gods, world, they suddenly appeared,” Thales said cautiously. “Every time I ask a question, I am sober, and finally… come back.”

The magician was silent for a while:

“That’s it? Nothing else?”

“Maybe,” Thales recalled the skills of facing the black prophet, trying not to tell lies, “but, like a dream, everything is vague and hazy, and I don’t remember when I wake up.”

Ashida was silent for a long time.

“Object, view, chaos, pure,” the magician said quietly, “Your advancement is much faster than I expected.”

“Things, views…do you mind saying more?”

But Ashida just raised her finger lightly.

The surrounding air became fresh and cold, and it went straight into the chest and lungs, causing Thales to shiver and wake up a lot.

What is ?? doing?

“Get rid of distractions.”

I saw Ashida solemnly said:

“Now, every time I say a word, you have to answer another word—the one you think of first. Don’t hesitate, don’t hesitate, and answer with your instincts.”

Tales, who was trembling, had to nod his head.

“The sun?” Ashida asked.

“Broken.” Thales replied quickly.

Wait, broken?

Thales reacted and frowned:

How could it be this?

If you give him a few more seconds, he will definitely answer other things, such as hot, endless, bright, eternal, etc.

But…broken?

“Starry sky?”

“Touch.”

“Time?”

“Destroy.”

“Mist?”

“Call.”

“The end?”

“Pause.”

“Death?”

“Forgotten.”

“The sky?”

“Prison.”

“Power?”

At that moment, Thales opened his mouth, but his brain was blank.

Power? What should the power be?

Why can’t you think of it?

He gritted his teeth desperately, and pulled out a related word from his memory: “The power of the end.”

Ashida put down her finger.

The surrounding air is warm again.

“The last one is not counted,” the Qi magician said lightly, “You hesitated.”

Thales was silent.

He doesn’t need to ask, he knows that these answers are not quite right.

“what is this?”

“Original quiz—this is the name Toros later named and the first test he designed.”

Aishida did not hide her personal secrets, and happily replied: “People first discovered the anomaly of magicians not through their abilities, but in their thoughts and insights.”

Hearing the familiar name, Thales rolled his eyes: “Who is Toros?”

“A senior.” Ashida didn’t want to say more.

“Because of the initial appointment with magical energy, I can’t go into your magical energy. I can only explore your understanding of foreign objects through a series of primitive images, and distinguish the stage of magical energy’s entry from the side—it’s like using a needle to pierce through it. Skin, bring out the blood, get a diagnosis with minimal trauma and cost.”

Original enquiry.

Thales tentatively said:

“So what about your diagnosis? I continue to be alive and well, eat and drink well? Or is the disease in the late stage, ready for funeral?”

The magician of Qi shook his head.

“I don’t know. Obviously, you have already come into contact with magical energy in ‘out of control’, so your answer will become—this is the proof of reaching the stage of ‘thing’. We generally call it the ‘contacter’.”

But the problem is that there has never been an example of touching magic energy after knocking on the door in history.

Ashida thought silently.

Like a beginner with no foundation, after completing a series of complex advanced calculations, he learned “one plus one equals two”.

Contacts.

Tyles chewed on the word, and at the same time used it to compare with the knowledge he heard when he knocked on the door—to be precise, from the kind-hearted predecessor named Toros who couldn’t see his face.

Ashida continued:

“But you are lucky to lose control and raise the threshold at the’things’ stage, but you can return from the threshold of knocking in time…Historically, half of the contacts who have done so intentionally or unintentionally have become idiots or lunatics. , Even monsters.”

Thales frowned:

Idiot, lunatic, monster?

“What about the other half?”

Ashida shook her head:

“I don’t know, they disappeared.”

Disappeared.

Thales was chilling.

“So, under what circumstances do I need to worry? When one day, I face every primitive question and answer ‘fuck you’?”

Ashida looked back at Thales.

His look was strange, even… strange.

“When I can’t understand at all, or even hear your answer.” The magician said lightly.

Can’t understand, can’t hear.

Thyls wondered:

“I do not understand?”

Ashida nodded:

“That’s it.”

Thyls became more confused: “What?”

But the next second, the magician changed his conversation, his tone was cold:

“Also, yes, if someone really dares to answer me with swear words, you should really be worried-worry about my temper.”

Tyles shrinks his head.

“Then, I am already a so-called’contacter’, what should I do next?”

“do not know.”

“Oh, you don’t know—what?” Thales’ eyes widened.

“According to the example I know, from this step onwards,” Ashida shook her head. “The contacts of the magical energy should learn to observe step by step while carefully preparing the magical energy out of control, and resist the illusion and blind elevation of the threshold. Impulsiveness is considered to reach the level of’viewing’ and become a comprehensionist.”

Wait, wait, there are too many unfamiliar nouns, he has to find a notebook…

But Thales had just reached for the pen when a breeze hit, scraping the pen and paper off the table.

Tels looked up depressed and looked at Ashida with a calm face.

Well, I can’t leave a record.

“The comprehensors must carefully and restraint try to ascend the threshold. They will see themselves clearly, find a certain threshold, and enter the state of ‘chaos’. We are called fusionists.”

“The Fusion will take the final step of danger, reach out and knock for the first time, break through the threshold and step out of the threshold, and fully integrate into the original state, that is, the level of’pure’,” the Qi Magician said softly, “If it succeeds, Then you can find and define your own threshold name as a magician.”

Ashida said this, and paused:

“But…”

Thales reacted and said in a daze: “But I have lost control, passed the threshold, and even knocked on the door-so what?”

“exactly.”

Ashida nodded: “So general standards cannot define your stage and degree, and they are not applicable.”

“What should I do?”

“It’s okay,” the magician said lightly, “Although there are few magicians who don’t take the usual path, there are so many.”

Um, one or two?

As soon as he heard that he could be rescued, Thales lifted his spirits:

“Really, so can we refer to them?”

“No.”

“what why?”

“What is the initial appointment with magic energy?”

“Um, learn from each other?”

“Say it again?” The surrounding air solidified, making it hard to breathe.

“Mutual, do not study each other deeply!”

“Very good.” Air flow returned to normal.

“So you don’t know how to go next, so what do I want you to do?”

“Say it again?”

“I mean, respected Mr. Sackern, how do you plan to open up unknown areas and guide me step by step?”

Ashida was silent.

He looked at the moonlight outside the window.

“I don’t know—but we can explore, together.”

“So, Thales, I will ask you again: Would you like to let go of the shackles of the world and follow me?”

The magician said quietly, “The path of magic is extremely difficult and dangerous. We need to explore the unknown road more freely and efficiently.”

Fuck.

Again.

Talston became vigilant and guarded against flying out of the castle again—just like in Longxiao City.

But fortunately, Ashida’s communication with him is no longer so violent, and no longer pulls him out to fly a human kite at any disagreement.

“But we talked about this issue seven years ago, and you agreed,” Thales said sternly, “If the magician doesn’t want to be called a’catastrophe’ by everyone in the world and hates everyone, then To use another method…”

“Left hand crown, right hand magic power.”

Ashida uses succinct words and summarizes his explanation in one sentence.

“I can barely understand your remarkable but naive ideal, and I also understand that you want the innocence of the best of both worlds, or the reluctance and greed for power when you are in a high position.”

Thales could not help but raise his eyebrows.

“But you think about it, boy, because you don’t understand magic.”

“That’s also because you have always concealed and refused to show it out.” Thales retorted immediately.

Ashida was silent for a while, then the conversation changed.

“Why don’t you think about it from another angle: on this return journey, you have knocked on the door, but have you ever been found to be wrong, and even doubt your identity?”

I was found to be inappropriate, doubting my identity,

Thyls is an exciting spirit.

A few faces floated through his mind.

Quick rope.

A former Royal Guard prisoner headed by Barney Jr.

And… Saker.

Tels looked at Ashida’s eyes, grinned reluctantly, telling the truth:

“Yes it is.”

The magician of Qi looked at him faintly. In Thales’s opinion, the other side’s blue eyes were filled with “I just knew”.

“Give me their names and information.”

“I will help you with the finishing touches.”

Ending.

Tyles clicked in his heart, and the fast rope was made into a human flesh ball.

“Thank you, but I have taken care of it.”

The prince pretended to be calm.

“It’s a pity, but it’s also unfortunate, those who know my secret…”

Thyls had to imagine the expression of the brazier of the Shield of Deception, showing a sinister smile:

“They can’t say anything anymore.”

This time, Ashida did not answer immediately, but watched him for a long time.

For a long time, Thales felt hairy.

Fortunately, the magician finally spoke, but his tone changed:

“Very well, you escaped this time, but what about next time?”

Tyles got nervous.

Ashida said coldly: “You think I disappeared all these years, and I didn’t come to you until the sixth year. Why?”

Lazy? Persuaded? drag? forget? Death line awakening?

Tyles buried the above speculation deep in his heart and assumed a modest and easy-to-learn look.

Ashida’s nice voice tightened suddenly:

“Seven years ago, an unfamiliar novice magician blindly knocked on the door in the middle of the night, but also seven years ago, Giza appeared in Dragon City and fought against the dragon that fell from the sky. You really think that no one will connect them. ?”

Thales frowned:

“For example-double emperor?”

“They are just one of them,” Ashida’s tone is worrying, “and in the past seven years, they have visited Longxiao City countless times.”

Thales stopped breathing.

“For seven years, I had to work hard to cover people’s eyes and ears, and then drive their eyes away from you. Fortunately, you are very special. Fortunately, all magicians think that the knocker must have a threshold. Name, and a little kid is definitely not that capable.”

Thyls’s mood sank.

“Fortunately.”

Qi magician’s attitude eased down:

“That night, there was much more than this that happened in the world.”

Thales raised his eyes:

“What do you mean?”

The magician shook his head: “Zedi, the end of the sea, the great desert, the deep twilight forest, Lyrden, Kylin City… that night, many places were not peaceful, and Longxiao City and Giza were just one of the suspected targets .”

Thyls wondered: “What?”

Ashida nodded:

“That’s right, so sometimes I even wonder—you may not be the only magician in existence that day.”

You are not the only one…

Thyls thoughtfully.

Ashida snorted coldly:

“Of course, if there is, I hope he will not be stubborn and reckless like you.”

Tels can only show a polite smile.

“But you have now returned to Eternal Star City,” Ashida said faster and faster, making his heart beat faster. “This is the political center that has attracted worldwide attention, and you are the heir to the kingdom. Here, if you have another accident, either raise the threshold or knock on the door, if it attracts unnecessary attention…”

Unnecessary attention.

Thyls thought of the scene at the royal banquet, and couldn’t help but squeeze his fists.

Ashida warned:

“For the sake of safety, reconsider my proposal-when that happens, it will be too late if you want to follow me.”

Thales was silent for a long time.

For the sake of safety.

Safety…

But.

But…

Tels thought of the covenant with the king in Ballard’s room, and couldn’t help gritting his teeth.

Ashida silently waited for his response.

A few seconds later, Thales took a deep breath and looked up at his guide.

“Thank you for the reminder. I admit that for a magical beginner, it may be safer and more convenient to walk with you,” Telston said, “but I still have a problem.”

Ashida nodded: “Very well, at least we have a good consensus—”

“Who is Flelan?”

The words of the magician of Qi give a good breath.

Fleland.

Tels stared at each other closely.

But Ashida did not respond.

He was expressionless and motionless.

But Thales knew that the magician’s reaction could not be measured by common sense.

“Or I should change the question,” Thales leaned on the desk and narrowed his eyes. “You and the sensory magician, or the former Queen Fiosa, why are you and how did you cooperate?”

The silence lasted a long time.

The blue light in Ashida’s eyes flickered back and forth.

Thales remained unmoved, and gradually increased:

“And how did the former Three Plagues Alliance infiltrate the court of stars and deceive the princes?”

Ashida remained silent.

Until the next question:

“Just for one piece, the legendary anti-devil armed that can threaten the twin emperors?”

At that moment, Ashida’s eyes burst into blue light, which was extremely dazzling!

Thales had to raise his hand to block.

A few seconds later, the blue light dimmed.

“you.”

The statue-like Ashida has now come back to life:

“Where did you hear that name?”

Damn it.

Tyles lowered his arm and exhaled.

“Don’t forget, I’m not just your student, I also have the last name Canxing-left-handed crown, right-handed magic power,” the prince shrugged and spread his hands: “I live in this high position, but I am far more than reluctant and greedy for power.”

Tyers smiled:

“Mr. Sackern?”

Blu-ray fast streaming in Ashida’s eyes:

“Long time no see, you learned a lot of new things.”

Thyls raised the corners of his mouth:

“Nowhere near as much as you can hide from me, Mr. Sackern.”

In the study of Jackal Tower, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The Duke of Star Lake and the magician silently face each other.

But Thales was not afraid.

In the Ballard room, after experiencing a hard game with the iron-fisted king, Thales felt that he had grown up.

At least, he is better at grasping the initiative and leading the situation.

Even facing the magician.

This is the true left-handed crown, right-handed magic power.

The crime of the prison river surging with approval, flowing through the body.

But the joy of the boy lasted only three seconds.

“Do not.”

Ashida coldly snorts:

“If you really learned the name from the channel of ‘in a high position’, Thales, then why would you ask me?”

“Because you don’t know anything, you are here to test my tone and try to learn more.”

Thyls’s expression froze.

The magician of Qi lifted his lips, taunting:

“It can be seen that you can’t touch the crown with your left hand, and you can’t use magic power with your right hand…”

“Neither hand is mixed.”

He unceremoniously said:

“The lost prince who has no magic power.”

In the old and disrepaired study, Thales sat in a broken chair with a corner missing, silent.

In fact, it doesn’t have to be so mean.

A few seconds later, Thales sighed:

“Well, you are right.”

Keboy’s expression changed:

“But at least, you should know, why am I reluctant to go with you?”

The magician was silent again.

“Inverted.”

“I won’t tell you, precisely because you don’t want to follow me.”

“If,” Ashida spoke again, with a hint of difficulty in the words, “I can teach you these old things.”

Tyles smiled, and he shook his head and leaned back (the crumbling chair groaned in pain).

“So, you won’t tell me the answer, right?”

“Do not.”

“Why can I ask—”

“Do not.”

“But—”

“Do not.”

“at least-”

“Do not.”

Ashida continuously rejected Thales’s questions, he raised his head unwaveringly:

“For whatever reason, if you don’t want to abandon the worldly bondage, I won’t tell you more about the magician.”

Talston felt dull.

But at least, he achieved his goal.

Frylan’s news distracted him, and the magician no longer insisted on taking him away.

“But you know, boy, you always have that choice.”

The magician leaned forward, his words confused:

“I will always be here, open my arms at any time.”

“forever and always.”

Listening to this familiar tone, Thales chuckled.

It suddenly occurred to him, whether Fastrope and Ashida could be a pair of gold medal sales partners: the former handed radishes with clever words, and the latter wielded big sticks with hideous features?

“Well, let’s take a step back,” Thales proposed a solution to set the tone for this unpleasant conversation, “I don’t ask you who Flelan is, and you don’t force me to go with you.”

Ashida did not speak.

But with Thales’ understanding of him, someone is obviously not satisfied.

Tels snorted and stood up.

“By the way, speaking of this, I still have something to ask you…”

Tyles went straight to the window, then turned his head and looked at the magician.

Ashida snorted softly.

Under the moonlight, the prince smiled slightly and gently raised his hand.

咚!

The chair behind the desk trembled suddenly and dropped a corner.

But Ashida did not pay attention to the chair.

At some point, he has stood up.

The blue eyes of the magician, staring at Thales’s hand-between the young man’s fingers, is pinching a folded sky blue cardboard ball.

Tyles smiled and shook his hand to the other party.

In the next second, the blue light in Ashida’s eyes suddenly increased!

Thyls only felt the breeze hit, and the paper ball couldn’t hold it, so he came out!

The sky blue piece of paper flew like alive, and stopped in front of Ashida’s eyes.

It unfolded and flattened in the air, and restored to the appearance of an invitation card, revealing the beautiful writing on it:

【Turn around】

“this is…”

Aishida’s eyes were obscured by blue light, as if penetrating the invitation card in front of her, looking towards the void:

“No change, no trajectory, no momentum, not even…”

His words have no emotion, but they are full of peculiar echoes.

Thales gave a mysterious smile.

He leaned forward and extended his arms, just like thanking him after the show.

The crumpled invitation card fell to the ground.

The magician turned his head and stared at Thales’ right hand.

“Come again.”

Ashida’s words have unusual fluctuations:

“Whatever it is, do it again, now.”

The blue light in his eyes no longer circulates, always bright.

“Of course, of course, I will,” facing the rare and eager Ashida, the boy was a little flattered, “but before that…”

The Duke of Xinghu raised his arms and smiled coldly:

“Who is Flelan?”

Thank you for your support, I am working hard to write!
