Kingdom’s Bloodline

I remember, I will always remember, when the victim's mother went crazy when she testified in court, Slimani said, but what could she do? She was just a widow for many years. The bond for the appeal cannot be paid.”

Judge Brennan, that stern judge, Thales, who had been silent all the time, said, Did he not say anything when he went to court?

Slimani shook his head.

I was lucky that Brennan didn't make it to that trial, the defense attorney wryly smiled, but so what if he did? He knows the law, and we, we know the law—and the Emerald City rule of law above the stars.

Thales was silent.

What happened to that peasant woman? Xilai asked.

Slimani shook his head blankly:

I don't know, I didn't go... I didn't dare to ask.

He rubbed his face:

That's how I got away with it, my boss said I exceeded his expectations... anyway, he kept his word and gave me a chance to be a police officer, 'you'd be a good police officer' he said, Good vigilante, haha...

Slimani couldn't stop laughing, his face full of sarcasm.

But what can I do? Can I say no? My wife has been suffering from physical and mental problems after giving birth, and the salary of the official police officer... He sniffed, his eyes moistened, We, we finally You can change to a big house, and you can afford servants.

But his eyes darkened:

But just after I put on my uniform with confidence, instead of batons, they gave me paper, pen and ink...

Thales frowned as he expected something.

Slimani nodded painfully:

So, under the arrangement of my boss, I started to write the second investigation or final report, then the third, the fourth...the next one, and the next one...

The granary outside the city ignited spontaneously at the end of the year, and I broke it abruptly into dryness and improper storage; my colleague in the same hall committed manslaughter while driving the hawkers, and I tried my best to dig out that the deceased had underlying diseases; Harvest The town wrote four circulars that couldn't explain the bad thing about women's abduction and trafficking, or the fifth I wrote to them, instructing them to lock up the crazy women who protested...

When you think you can escape the test, you are wrong, Priest Chadvi shook his head with a sad expression, Every evasion and trickery just makes the delayed test more cruel.

Slimani spoke faster and faster, like a madman:

There are also security officers such as Kaguirete who are in charge of receiving the prince. Do you know how he was promoted from the head of the jailer to the security officer? Not only that, but also the inexplicably lost stolen goods in the canal security hall. The blood bottle gang is in the warehouse. In the drug transport business here, there were several cases where it was not clear whether it was a murder case in the offshore or on the high sea...

The more Thales listened, the more uncomfortable he became.

Tamer's envoy has something to say!

Chadvi suddenly raised his volume, interrupting Slimani.

The setting sun of the dying day sees the piety, and what is willing to pay will be repaid, the scriptures in his mouth seemed to have a force, which made everyone a little sober. Will pay back twice.

Slimani woke up and stared blankly at the stove.

In the end, I thought, I thought I just had to leave the security hall, but, but...

He looked at Thales, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness:

Look, I used to want to be a good man, a good husband, a good father, a good police officer, and even a good advocate.

Instead of sitting behind a desk, using words and sentences to confuse black and white, confuse right and wrong, and frame slander.

Slimani said blankly:

once.

No one spoke, and there was silence in the tunnel, except for Catherine's painful groans in her dream.

Uncle Hauser, Aunt Gadama, I, I don't want to go to the ground anymore, Dorothy put down her love story in disappointment, It's...so complicated.

Gadama hugged her.

Slimani took a deep breath,

Come to yourself.

Then, maybe the Goddess of the Setting Sun knew what I did, so she might punish me...

His eyes were fixed and his expression was dull:

She no longer blesses us, me and my mother-in-law, we can never have children again.

no more.

Slimani's words echoed in the tunnel, extremely fragile.

But if, if your child is born healthy and healthy, everything will be different from the beginning, Warniac's voice sounded, trembling slightly between his words, then everything will be fine afterward?

Slimani's eyes became clear for a while.

He was in a daze for a while, then chuckled lightly:

Maybe.

No! Xilai said coldly, making Slimani tremble, Of course not.

Thales sighed, and he patted Xilai's hand:

we do not know.

The test of the goddess is everywhere, Chadwei said, his voice was exceptionally gentle, The birth of a child is a test, the landlord's blackmail is a test, the boss's threat is a test, and every report is also a test. Every moment is a test.

Smoking addiction is also a test. Xilai said disdainfully.

Chadwei froze, his face was a little uneasy, but he insisted on finishing:

If your child was born healthy, Mr. Slimani, then congratulations, compared to many people, you have avoided this unfortunate test...

He paused for a moment, then continued:

But even without this test, if you are still you, have not changed, awakened, and introspected, then next time, when you face other different tests, will you definitely do better?

Slimani smiled bitterly.

Yeah, look at me now, he said in frustration, No, I've come to a dead end, I have nowhere to go.

Chadvi frowned slightly: But...

But he was interrupted.

Priest Chadvi, tell me, Slimani was in a daze, and there was some hope in his words, My daughter, who is incomplete like her, will her soul return to the kingdom of heaven, and return to the goddess of the setting sun?

Chadvi took a deep breath: Of course...

Of course not. Xilai said coldly.

Chadway choked.

The heaven of the gods is just made up to deceive the powerful and powerful to pay for atonement, and to deceive the powerless and powerless to keep their own place. All people, all souls will go to Hell River after death, where they will be completely destroyed. Exception. Xilai said coldly.

The light in Slimani's eyes dimmed.

Thales glanced at Xilai, but the latter had a cold expression.

Slimani let out a breath, as if giving up on something;

Then you say, the sin is as serious as mine, can I see her after death?

Xilai was about to speak, but this time, Thales held her hand firmly.

I don't know, Thales tried his best to be gentle, but at least, at least I believe that when you speak out your heart and sincerely repent—you have passed the test of this moment.

Xilai raised her eyebrows, but Thales held her wrist tightly, preventing her from spoiling the atmosphere.

Slimani's breath trembled.

He smiled wryly and shook his head: It's too late.

Not too late.

Chadwei took the conversation and smiled, but unfortunately, with his appearance, he looked like a strange uncle who lied to children:

It's never too late, no matter what.

But Slimani seemed inspired, he sniffed, his eyes were moist, and he nodded gratefully:

Thanks.

The tunnel was quiet for a while, and finally Priest Chadvi slapped his thigh to break the silence.

Okay, the sun is starting to set, he patted his head and pointed to the top of his head, I have to hurry back to the temple, otherwise if they check the post...

Then we should go back to the nest, Bobo, follow up, Hauser stood up, and greeted Lady Gadama and the rest, If you need help, come to us at any time, you still remember us How to get to the tunnel, Wyah?

That a lot of tunnels that go up and down in twists and turns?

Thales said with a smile; Of course.

Ah, fortunately, the mountains accommodate his footprints.

Let him never go astray.

Watching a large group of people like Chadway and Hauser leave sparsely (Warniak punched Thales fiercely before leaving), Thales let out a breath.

Then we should go too, Luo, Teto, and brother, um, Fatty Wyah, you stay here and watch them, someone will come down for shift in two hours, Thales greeted and finished the rest Rolf and Glover, Don't forget our itinerary for today, Wyana.

Xilai snorted in disdain, but stood up anyway.

Slimani looked up in surprise:

Ah, you're leaving? What about me?

He looked at Catherine who was sleeping opposite in horror, and then at Glover and Rolf who looked uneasy:

You want me to stay with a hunted gang boss and these two gangsters?

Glover and Rolf stared at the defender and snorted coldly at the same time, but when they found someone snorting at the same time as themselves, they turned their heads to look at each other and snorted a second time at the same time.

Forget it, Thales frowned as he watched their relationship, Two hours is too long, I'll find someone to take a shift in a while.

He turned his head and looked at Slimani:

Believe me, Manny, you're safer staying here now than going out with us.

No! Boy! I don't, I don't know these two people at all! You have to stay with me— Slimani wanted to say something more, but Glover and Rolf left and right, They clasped his arms in both hands, dragging him back without resistance.

Thales and Xilai looked at each other, then turned and left.

After a few seconds, Slimani finally stopped struggling, but he thought of something.

Wait, Brother Wyatt, there is one more thing!

Thales turned around.

Slimani hesitated for a while, but finally made up his mind and nodded seriously:

Thank you, thank you. Both for saving my life, and for...my daughter.

Thales was silent for a while, then nodded:

I see.

Xilai next to him raised his eyebrows:

Only him? You don't thank me?

Slimani stared at her and leaned back in disgust.

Thales glanced at Xilai, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

So take care, Brother Wyah, although I know that's not your real name, Slimani snorted softly, and sat down on the bedding, Yes, I remembered, the real Wyah Caso's aide It's not like you are thirteen or fourteen years old, after all, he still has to protect the Duke of Xinghu, and he can't be younger than a fourteen-year-old prince...

Um?

Fourteen-year-old prince?

Slimani was stunned when he said this.

Thales was also stunned.

Glover and Rolf frowned together.

In the narrow and dark tunnel, several people blinked.

At that moment, the defender looked Thales carefully, his eyes widened in shock, and he shouted:

Sunset, ah! ah! ah! ah! You are, you are—that who!

Thales' complexion changed:

Manny! Calm down!

But Slimani obviously couldn't calm down. He pointed at Thales excitedly and shouted loudly:

My lord, you are...fuck, fuck! I should, I should have thought of it a long time ago, there is no kind of cub in this world who dares to use the name of a prince's servant to go to the streets to deceive people, and has a maid to serve him when he travels...

Xilai was originally watching the show, but his face sank when he heard the words.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Thales rushed forward in twos and threes. Cooperating with Glover and Rolf on the left and one on the right, the three of them threw the excited Slimani on the bedding, and smothered him tightly. his mouth.

Manny, listen up!

Thales couldn't hold back the struggling Manny:

Listen, you're safe here, safe, this big guy is in the royal guard and the other one is... someone I trust. So, no need to be so nervous, okay?

Manny, whose mouth was covered, understood something, and nodded with a woo woo woo.

So, you stay here, keep a low profile, take care of yourself, and wait for me to send someone to rescue you from the Emerald City, okay?

Wooooow!

Very well, now I want to let you go, don't get excited, don't scream, don't struggle, okay?

woo woo woo woo!

Thales made a look, and the three of them let go in unison, freeing Slimani, who was crushed until his wig fell off.

Your Highness, you actually... oh my god, I was actually personally met by the Duke of Xinghu... By the way, why didn't you reveal your identity earlier?

As soon as Slimani was out of trouble, he couldn't wait to speak. He danced with hands and feet, and his tone couldn't hide his excitement:

If you had reported your identity earlier, I wouldn't have used it, I wouldn't have...

Someone has to believe it. Xilai rolled his eyes aside.

Oh, calm down, Manny, Thales had to reach out his hand again, signaling for him to calm down, At least, now you know, don't you?

As Priest Chadvi said, it's never too late, no matter what time it is, it's never too late.

At that moment, Slimani was stunned.

See you later then.

Thales waved his hand, and left with Xilai.

But just as he turned around, Slimani's voice sounded again: His Royal Highness Thales!

Thales sighed in pain.

Why come again?

Slimani took a deep breath, and just as he was about to continue, Glover and Rolf stepped up from left to right.

Listen, little Manny, if you dare to say one more word, just one... Glover stared at him coldly.

Hmph! Huh? Rolf made a fierce gesture with a ferocious expression, and pouted his chin.

Oops.

Slimani swallowed.

but……

Diop, the silenced wool merchant!

The defender tried his best to speak out before he was killed by the two terrorist killers under the prince: He is involved with many dignitaries!

Thales' complexion changed, and he turned around.

oh?

Because, because Diop can do their dirty work!

Slimani said anxiously:

Diop has many illegal connections, from lockpickers and thieves on the street to outlaws of the Blood Bottle Gang. For these dirty jobs, as long as the dignitaries use Diop's channel and pay the money, they will be fine. Keep the handle.

Thales pondered for a while, exchanged glances with Xilai, and nodded.

I already know—Diop is the person who manages the secret account for Kong Minggong.

Under Thales' gesture, Glover and Rolf reluctantly let go of Slimani.

What? And this layer?

Slimani was surprised, but under the unkind eyes of Glover and Rolf, he quickly got to the point:

Oh, by the way, Your Highness, what I want to tell you is that Diop was not the only one who died... Not long before Diop died, one of his clients died first.

Diop's client?

Thales stared:

who?

Jeff Rene, Slimani gritted his teeth, and said an unfamiliar name, He was my supervisor in the Police Department many years ago, because of dereliction of duty-this is just a saying, it is actually a political strife —was dismissed.

Jeff Rene? Thales muttered the name without a clue.

Damn, just like Lausanne II.

Their information about Emerald City is still too little.

But Xilai beside him reacted:

Wait, you mean your boss? Could it be...

Slimani sighed:

Yes, that's the one who promoted me from a temporary worker to a security officer. You can say that he is my nobleman, benefactor, or...

He was silent for a second, then continued:

After being dismissed, Rene relied on his previous savings and connections to spend his old age in the territory of the Blood Bottle Gang.

Thales frowned:

This Rene was Diop's client? How did he die? Why?

Slimani nodded:

According to the death report from the Police Department, Rene was involved in a gang fight while playing cards in an underground casino and died in the sink. When he was found, his neck was cut open and a pool of water was poured It's all red.

Thales was wondering, but Glover remembered something and was startled.

Gang fight?

The zombie glanced at Rolf:

Wait, you're not talking about the underground casino of the Blood Bottle Gang? The one managed by Garmendia? Two bodyguards died in one night?

Slimani was also surprised:

Yes, it's Garmendia's 'Harvest Casino', how do you know?

The zombie turned to the confused Thales:

Because Garmendia—some boss in charge of the casino—reported it at the Vial Gang meeting: His casino was attacked by the Brotherhood, and two bodyguards were killed, one of them... also in the Sink, stain the water red, like this Rene.

Thales frowned: What do you mean? Rene was killed by the Brotherhood?

Slimani sighed.

I don't know about the others, but as an old subordinate and a former gambling partner, I know that Rene stopped going to the casino a year ago, not because the bad gambler changed his mind, but because he was sitting on a mountain and had a lot of debt. If he shows up, he will be chased for debt, you know he came to me to borrow money half a year ago...

Thales looked up:

He shouldn't be in the casino.

Slimani nodded:

He shouldn't.

So I continued to check... According to the information I bought from the barber shop, Rene didn't die in the casino, Slimani continued, The truth is, he died in his own home, that's how he died, His neck was cut open and he bled to death.

Xilai was puzzled:

Wait, then why did the Police Department report that he died in...

Because the report was redacted, I know the way too well, Slimani sighed, Rene didn't die in a gang fight, his body was transported to the underground casino of the Blood Bottle Gang Tucked into a real struggle — with evidence, locations, and circumstantial witnesses — there are very few holes.”

Thales reacted:

Someone is covering up Rene's death, covering it up as an accident.

Slimani nodded and took a deep breath:

And in Emerald City, who has the ability and courage to use the territory of the Blood Bottle Gang to cover up their fate?

Kong Ming Palace.

Thales concluded:

The Blood Bottle Gang received Zhan En's order to cover up Rene's death?

Why?

Xilai spoke in surprise, her position here made Glover and Rolf even more confused.

Slimani shook his head, but his expression became more serious:

I don't know, I didn't take it seriously at first, until I continued to investigate: on the same night, another member of the Blood Bottle Gang disappeared.

again?

Thales frowned: Who?

Slimani swallowed his throat, and told the prince his information: A boxer, who fought black boxing in the underground ring, according to the report from the police department, he disappeared. A few days later, his body was found in the river .”

Glover was startled again:

Wait, it doesn't happen to be the underground arena of the Blood Bottle Gang, and the black boxing business managed by Gutierrez?

Slimani turned his head, puzzled:

And how do you know?

Same as the previous one, Glover looked at Thales in a daze. The boxers were attacked in the underground arena of the Blood Bottle Gang. A few days later, the bodies were found in the river.

Slimani patted his forehead:

So, it's the same for this boxer, yet another revised death report!

Thales asked:

Who was that boxer? Why did Jen cover up his death?

That's the problem, Slimani breathed out, that boxer, especially when his name appears together with Rene and Diop, everything becomes very scary...

What kind of terror law?

Let's try it together and we'll know!

She turned from her chair, her voice as bright and cheerful as ever:

Don't worry, it's definitely not as exaggerated as horror movies...

Not yet, he shook his head, looked back at his computer screen, You know I don't like these...

Oh, you have to be brave enough to try new things! That's a horror-themed secret room...

That voice was still enthusiastic, urging him to try something new——

【wake up. 】

Um?

Startled slightly, he looked up from the code on the screen.

What wake up?

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Did you listen to me! the voice urged him.

He shook his head.

Ah, it must be that the model has run too much in the past few days, and I have hallucinations. This damn R language...

[Wake up, Thales. 】

Thales?

Who is that?

Seems like a foreigner's name?

He sat blankly in front of the computer.

Strange, why do I always feel that there is a voice in my heart, speaking to myself?

[Playing with time is Bloodthorn's forte. It has defeated countless heroes, but you, you, Thales Canxing, the one who is destined to end fate, you should not stop here, you are not that weak, you should not surrender The clumsy trick in front of my eyes...]

time?

Bloodthorn?

End fate?

What?

Is Brandon Sanderson reading too many novels?

No, I have been reading Hurricane Light for several months...

Wu! Xie! Ren! The voice started calling out his full name, obviously ignoring her and she was about to get angry.

Ok, here, here, here... Uh, what did you just say?

He answered her words and rubbed his ears, feeling flustered for some reason.

Strange, what happened?

【You still have your mission to complete. 】

Damn, the voice in my heart is true, and it's still going on...

His breathing became faster and faster, and his eyes blinked faster...

Wu~Xiao~Ren~ The voice became more ethereal and illusory, and moved away from him.

As if in another world.

No!

He became more and more panicked, and wanted to reach out to reach her, but found that he could not find his hands.

what happened?

Where are my hands?

No no no no.

Nothing is right!

[Wake up, Thales. 】

It feels, like, like...

Like I'm... dreaming?

The moment he realized this, his brain jumped.

Like something broke loose.

【wake up! 】

The next moment, Thales took a deep breath and woke up with a start!

Ha, ha, ha—— He was still in shock, slapped his chest, gasped for breath, and apologized to the others in the tunnel, Sorry, I just lost my mind...

But Thales was stunned.

At some point, in the ghoul tunnel, Xilai, Slimani, Glover, and Rolf all lay down on the ground.

Personnel unconscious.

He was alone, standing alone in the darkness.

tread.

Footsteps sounded.

Thales was startled and turned around!

It's really rare, a strange voice sounded from the darkness, You are not affected at all, Your Highness.

At that moment, the crime of prison river exploded!

It's like a beast that suddenly wakes up when the danger has already arrived.

Caught off guard.

Angry.

Burning with anger.

I am very honored and relieved that not everyone can chat with me in my ability - they named it 'Evil Whisper', which is said to be taken from the Sunset Teaching Scripture, which is really ironic , those monsters actually quoted the classics of the sunset belief, are they worthy...

Thales pulled out the JC dagger subconsciously, but his brain was still in chaos.

what happened?

what happened?

I was clearly talking to Slimani just now...

Why suddenly—

I guess the guy next to you is the one the barber said, the prying advocate?

In the darkness, the voice continued to sound.

The senses of hell were aroused, and Thales saw his opponent in the dark clearly:

A man who was tightly wrapped in black cloth from head to toe and even wore dark goggles was walking slowly towards him on the other side of the tunnel.

Thales was shocked!

You are……

He reacted and found the description from his memory, terrified and shocked:

Lausanne II?

The man in black in the darkness smiled coldly.

He looked at the ground behind Thales - Slimani, who closed his eyes, was drooling and smiling.

It seems that I didn't arrive too late, before he continued talking—and thanks to his loud voice, I could hear it clearly from the ground, so I was able to find the right place.

Oops!

Thales gritted his teeth, raised his dagger at the enemy, and kicked Rolf and Glover hard on the ground at the same time.

But one of them was trembling desperately, and the other was muttering about apple, and there was no sign of waking up.

What, what's going on?

How could Lausanne II, a man he had only heard about in reports, appear here?

Shouldn't the ghoul tunnel be a place that very few people know about?

The most important thing is... what to do now?

Step by step, the enemy slowly appeared in front of the stove.

Ah! No, no, no!

There was an exclamation, and Thales turned his head: Catherine, who was sleeping soundly on the bedding, woke up and looked at the man in black in disbelief:

Lausanne?

It really was him!

Thales took a deep breath and forced himself to move—maybe it was affected by the other party's ability. Now he felt cold and numb in his hands and feet, and his movements were sluggish and difficult.

get moving.

Get moving, Thales.

Tmd move!

Hello, little knife, we meet again. The man in black calmly waved his hand at Catherine, making the latter even more terrified, You actually woke up—oh, it hurts, they forgot to give Are you taking anesthesia?

Catherine pressed the ground in pain, trying to get up, but then fell to the ground.

Thales took a deep breath and forced himself to pull out an iron body pose.

no solution anymore.

Now here, only he can fight alone.

Iron body style—Northern military swordsmanship? This is rare, Luosang nodded with interest, and patted the sword on his waist. Don't worry, Your Highness, I will not fight with you.

Why, what? Thales said with difficulty.

Now, he only felt that he was struggling to move his teeth.

Because my employer has specifically ordered you not to touch a hair of your hair.

Lausanne II, who was covered in darkness, snorted disdainfully:

Damn Kevin Dill.
