Kingdom’s Bloodline

Finally, after a few waves of vomits, Shiley finally stopped feeling nauseated, and the eldest lady of the Calvin Dill family leaned against the wall tremblingly.

Thales also suppressed his nausea and tried his best to stay away from the big beach of filth.

Well, it's a half-digested steak, damn it, why is he thinking about that!

Just like that, amidst the messy filth and pungent smell, Thales and Hilley, the weak two, sat back to back against the wall, each trembling.

Don't worry, I will add some money to the owner, the cleaning fee.

Is this the point? Ah, my clothes...

They're not yours. They came in from the theater.

Thales didn't have time to argue with her, the pain in his body reached the limit, and he was so uncomfortable that he wanted to pass out on the spot.

What's wrong with you?

You, what, what, what, what happened? Xi Lai wiped her lips in embarrassment, her voice was broken and breathless, like a dying patient.

Thales tried his best to come up with a reason:

I have a lot of nosebleeds...

I'm bleeding a lot...

The two snorted at the same time.

They turned their heads with difficulty, and saw each other's profiles in the corner of their shoulders.

You think I'll believe you?

Although each had their own hardships and pains, the eyes of the two were full of contempt and disdain, obviously neither believed the other's words.

me too.

But the two of them remembered something and were startled at the same time!

Go out of the shop and turn left and go straight to the third intersection, then turn right and go straight to the second intersection and turn left to the alley next to the stone wall on the left...

The third diagonal alley at the turn off of Milton's pawnshop on Regina Avenue!

Thales said painfully:

Slimani! He's going to run away again!

Hilley gritted her teeth weakly and resentfully:

Not yet! Not yet!

Thales had no time to speak back,

The extreme discomfort and feeling of weakness made him dizzy again.

No, they stumbled all the way, and they managed to catch up here...

Just give up?

If I had known earlier, it would be better for Mallos to send someone...

At this moment, Xi Lai stretched out her hand tremblingly, and put a glass medicine bottle the size of a finger into Taylor's hand...

Drink this, immediately, quickly.

Thales opened a slit of his eyes: the liquid in the glass bottle was dark and cloudy, and there was still a lot of sediment.

What the fuck is this color, this smell is heavier than your breakfast! What the hell, is it cooked with shit? Thales turned his head away in pain just as he pulled the plug off.

you

Xi Lai, who was already weak and uncomfortable, was not happy when he heard the words, and replied angrily: It's an aphrodisiac!

Thales was taken aback for a moment, then became angry:

Why didn't you say it was the contraceptive pill?

Xi Lai was also laughed out of anger, she snorted and shook her head, grabbing the bottle without saying a word:

Yes, aphrodisiac plus contraception, do you want to drink it?

The girl held up the medicine bottle with an ugly expression, as if she was suppressing the next wave of vomiting.

The boy looked at the displeased Xi Lai for several seconds, finally figured out something, and showed a helpless smile.

Grass.

The next second, Thales took a deep breath, grabbed the medicine bottle, and poured it directly into his mouth!

Ah! No, wait a minute!

Xi Lai was shocked, and grabbed the bottle before Thales finished drinking the potion:

Half is enough! Very expensive!

As soon as Thales' mouth left the bottle, he couldn't tell if it was Xilai's breakfast or the potion because of the pungent smell. Anyway, the fight between the two made him sick to his stomach and gasped for breath.

Damn it, he should have found a glass of water first!

You, are you drinking now? Xi Lai coughed weakly.

Thales gasped in pain, feeling the unpleasant taste in his mouth:

Yes! Do I have a choice between aphrodisiacs or contraception or letting Srimani go?

The potion had an unpleasant smell, but it was even more colorful in the mouth.

Wori, what a smell!

A wave of nausea struck, and Thales couldn't help breathing out a few mouthfuls of air.

Hillary frowned at him.

A few seconds later, the eldest lady also figured out something. She turned around, leaned her back against Thales, and laughed out loud.

Why, what's so funny?

But before Thales finished speaking, the pale Xilai raised his head and drank the remaining half bottle of potion.

Thales squinted at her.

Aphrodisiac?

Yes, Xi Lai put away the empty bottle, vomited a few mouthfuls, and said weakly and sarcastically, It's just for your stinking problem.

Thales was furious for a moment.

But before he could react, Shirley struggled hard.

Stand up, no matter how uncomfortable it is, Xi Lai gritted his teeth, The main effect of this medicine is to numb the pain and relieve the soreness, and at the same time replenish a lot of energy. It requires us to move in order to exert the effect of the medicine.

Numbs Pain \u0026 Relieves Soreness…

Thales sighed, endured the pain all over his body, leaned on the wall with one hand, and clasped Hille's hand with the other.

Shirley glanced at him, but said nothing.

The two supported each other, borrowed strength against the wall, and barely stood up.

But the moment he stood up, Thales seemed to have an illusion:

The aches and burns in his body were lessened, and his breathing was less labored.

Huh?

This is……

Aphrodisiac, contraceptive by the way. Xi Lai said coldly, her voice much stronger.

All right.

Thales pouted.

Although her face was a little ruddy, she still held a grudge.

A few seconds later, when they cleaned up the filth on their bodies (as for the ones on the ground, Hille believed that she had fully compensated the owner), walked out of the room, walked down the stairs, and set foot on the street again, Thales felt alive and kicking again.

There is no doubt that they are gradually recovering at an unbelievable speed as Thales is amazed to feel the state of the body.

Where did you get that bottle of medicine? Do you still have it?

Xi Lai coldly refused: No, it's made through a special channel, and the materials are precious.

And disgusting.

Thales raised his eyebrows.

...As for you, don't think about it, the girl from the Kevin Dill family shook her head. All drugs that seem to be highly effective but actually violate the laws of nature are harmful and represent an overdraft of body functions.

Believe me, with its taste, no one wants to drink it anymore. Thales countered.

Overdraft of bodily functions?

Thales suddenly remembered that Heijian's ability to speed up self-healing would shorten his life.

but sometimes...

Thales touched the slightly crooked bone in his left arm that was broken by the meteorite.

Sometimes, he has no choice.

Go this way, Thales gritted his teeth. Slimani was flustered, he didn't choose his way, and even fell down. This will affect his speed, and there may be hope to catch up.

I know the alley he went into, Xi Lai said in a deep voice. It's not easy to walk in, but there's a shortcut here. If you're lucky, you can stop him.

Once the pedestrians on the road walked into the two of them, their expressions changed, and they all covered their noses and walked away, which made Thales quite depressed, but it also saved a lot of trouble.

Thales still remembered the route drawn in the senses of hell, and Xi Lai was almost familiar with it. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the target location, the two of them were getting healthier and their pace was gradually speeding up.

How did you determine Slimani's location? What did you do in the utility room just now? Thales asked suspiciously.

Then you, what did you do outside just now? Xi Lai gave him a sideways glance.

The two were silent for a while.

Magic, medicine bottles, breaking through empty doors, and the ability to find ways and find people, Thales said in a muffled voice, Tell me, Sister Wyana, how many mysteries do you still have?

Not much, at least not more than your mysteries, eavesdropping, magic tricks, nosebleeds, and the same way to find people, Brother Wyatt. Shirley retorted.

Thales and Hille looked at each other uncomfortably as they walked.

It seems that both of them have their own secrets, and they don't want others to know.

But after a few seconds, they seemed to understand something, and they both smiled in relief.

Fuck you, Wyana. Thales shook his head and said helplessly.

Xi Lai didn't bother to respond, and directly gave him a middle finger.

Hey, that's mine Wait, how do you know that gesture?

I've seen, I've seen the dumb guy next to you do something to Wyah 'a certain' Wyah.

Ha, I knew it, you imitated it wrong.

Impossible, I remember it very clearly: protruding middle finger.

That's right for us, but you have six fingers!

boom!

Xi Lai gave him a hard elbow, and Thales grinned his teeth in pain.

No one has ever dared to make fun of me with this! Shi Lai gritted her teeth.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Thales quickly apologized, I just thought, I thought this would be better than... than deliberately avoiding it or not mentioning it.

His voice trailed off:

Feel sorry.

Shirley gave him a deep look and moved on.

The two drove on in silence.

You have nothing to ask?

Thales came back to his senses in shock:

What? Ask what?

Ask, ask. Hilla paused, she touched her glove, and said with difficulty, My hand?

There was another silence between the two.

Finally, before Thales scratched his hair bald in his mind, he racked his brains to figure out how to answer the conversation.

Oh, this, the prince laughed, as if he didn't care. Then what's the matter, my ancestors had a king whose nickname was 'Eight Fingers'...

Shirley rolled his eyes at him.

I know King Eight Fingers, but you know: my situation is different from his! He is a healthy and normal person, he was injured and lost while hunting...

Hey!

Thales quickened his pace to catch up with Hille:

So what? You just have one more finger than me, a 'normal person'...

It's four, Xi Lai said sullenly, looking at her hands, I have both hands, and my feet too. When I was a child, almost every doctor I visited said that they were connected with bones and nerves, so if they were directly removed , could damage the entire hand...

very good!

Thales interrupted her, beaming, trying to make the atmosphere humorous: What I want to do with one hand, you can do it with five-sixths of the hands. This is an advantage!

Xi Lai snorted, curled her lips in disdain: Stiff, hypocritical.

Well, maybe a little bit.

Thales felt that he was using too much force, so he had to shut up obediently.

They turned into an alley, which made Thales feel familiar: this was one of the places that Hell's senses had just described for him.

I heard that when I was born, the priest of the setting sun once said that this is a bad omen or a bad result, and it is the punishment of the setting sun for the whole family, at least it is a warning. Xi Lai said in a daze.

Bad omen, evil consequences.

Telston paused.

His memory drifted back to the Prison of Bones, and at the bottom of the dark prison, what Sakel said to Yordel echoed in his ears again:

[Does King Kessel know... do they know that the bad flowers many years ago have already borne bad fruits? 】

Thales took a deep breath, forced himself to smile, and raised his hands to Xi Lai:

You see, my hand is full forehead, at least it looks normal.

Yes, I know, 'normal', Hilley sneered, so?

Thales forced a smile.

I mean, I was born with intact hands and feet, but it doesn't seem to prevent the Goddess of the Setting Sun from punishing the royal family of Canxing.

Hillary's eyes moved.

So, bad omens, bad flowers and bad results, you just let them die. Thales said with a smile.

Hilley looked at him for a long time, passed a closed Milton Honest Pawnshop, and turned into a side road that was deserted.

But a lot of people don't think so, she whispered. You just saw the reaction from the people on the street, didn't you?

Taylor's smile became smaller.

That's why you have lived in seclusion since you were a child?

This matter is a stain on the family, Miss Kevin Deere said with a touch of sarcasm, My parents, they must... be very careful, from my coming-of-age ceremony to my engagement wedding, all occasions where I show up in public, Well, maybe there is also my funeral, you know, since I was a child, the purchase of women's gloves is an important expenditure that my father entrusts Ashford to be responsible for, and it is top secret.

family stain.

Thales was silent for a while.

this is not your fault.

Shiley shrugged: I know, I figured it out a long time ago, this, this is not my fault...

The girl raised her hands and shook them, her gaze fixed on the ring of her little finger.

But what they brought, brought me, made me...

Xi Lai's eyes gradually drifted away, and then slowly focused.

What they bring, bring me, turn me into...

Hearing her words, Thales couldn't help holding his left hand: in the middle of the palm, the scar left by multiple scratches became more and more obvious.

It cannot be eliminated.

Do you know why, why I have such a bad relationship with Karabyan's twins, so they don't get along?

The second prince came back to his senses: Yes, I heard something: Did you scare them when you were young?

Hilley sneered.

When they were young, they discovered... my hand.

Thales didn't speak.

Of course, they laughed at me, despised me, and tried to use this to manipulate me, Xi Lai shook her hands, her eyebrows sharpened, but I fought back, and fought back hard.

fight back……

So they isolate me, ostracize me, create cliques, talk bad about me at dances... Hilley continued, and I keep fighting back.

Continue to fight back...

Thales frowned.

In the end, the situation was very bad, and it went all the way to my parents, until my father reached an agreement with Earl Karabyan, and Kaisha and Qina were ordered to reflect and be strictly disciplined, and they had to swear secretly in front of the sunset statue: For the rest of my life, don't let the Calvin Dill scandal, don't let my... situation, um, leak out.

Thales understood.

So, your relationship can never get any better.

And as the price of 'fighting back', I was sent to the Temple of the Setting Sun.

In name, it's etiquette education and religious edification, but it's not really, Xi Lai said sarcastically, it's exorcism.

Thales looked up in surprise:

Exorcism?

Yeah, to get rid of the 'demons' in me, Hilley sneered, whether it's those four extra fingers and toes, or the mania that I screamed and beat my twin sisters to blood when I was eight years old. Bad, dark and narrow-minded character.

Drive away the demons.

I... Thales hesitated, not knowing what to say.

But Xi Lai just shook his head and continued to sneer:

And one of the ways of exorcising evil... You know, the priests believed that the fire was the embers of the setting sun, one of the graces of the goddess of the setting sun on earth, so it was safe against demons and sorcery and unclean filth. Does it work wonders?

Know a little bit, 'Appear in fire, disillusion in front of God', Thales thought of something, his face changed suddenly, Wait, flame? Exorcism? You?

Hilley smirked.

Yes, she gently peeled off the glove that reached to her forearm, exposing the skin on her wrist, flame, and it's a blessed silver holy fire.

Thales stared blankly at the skin on Xi Lai's wrist: it was uneven, of different shades, and had an ugly crimson red.

After a period of upbringing, they, um, the priests of the Sunset Temple finally confirmed, Xileila put on her gloves, her tone was terribly calm, Maybe, maybe it's not the devil, of course, it's also possible that the devil is hiding too deep .”

The round-faced girl snorted softly, she turned to Thales, and smiled brightly:

It's so deep that I can't cure it.

flame.

Exorcism.

Can't be cured...

Hearing these words, Thales felt a silence in his chest.

When you were sent... how old were you?

Eight years old, Shirley said without changing his expression, as if telling someone else's story, just learned to tie a skirt.

eight years old.

Thales felt a throbbing pain in his heart.

But, but your father is the Duke of South Bank...

So he must convince the public, Xi Lai said with a gloomy expression, For the family, for the Emerald City.

For the family, for the Emerald City.

Even if it was... her own daughter.

Thales only felt his chest getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

After a few seconds, Thales let out a sigh of relief.

Did you know that when my uncle was alive, he could only sit in a wheelchair, he no longer pretended to be relaxed, but said calmly, In the past, someone wanted to cure him, but he said...

Thales focused his eyes:

Even without legs, he can stand up and be a complete human being.

Xi Lai was silent for a while: Your uncle, you sound like a very powerful person.

I don't know, I haven't seen him.

But you, Cecilia Cavendir, Thales said softly, Even if you have a few more fingers, you can still stand up and continue the pranks of 'Wyana'? Right?

Hillary was silent.

Thales took a deep breath:

Hey, listen, they can't cure you because

The girl interrupted him suddenly, her tone was indifferent and angrily:

Because I'm not sick at all, so I don't need treatment?

She sneered and said, Please, I have heard hundreds of comforting words like this since I was a child.

No, they can't cure you, Thales denied, because 'they', 'they' can't cure you.

And you can? The genius doctor Thales? Xi Lai sneered.

Thales looked at her silently and shook his head slightly.

In normal times, I might say some comforting formulas: no matter what fate gives us, it is a gift it bestows on us.

Thales raised his head and looked at the streets of the Emerald City full of city atmosphere.

But I figured it out later, he said in a daze, his expression blank. Maybe, maybe they weren't all gifts.

Hillary was a little surprised.

That's right, she recovered, looking at her hands with a sad expression, it's not all gifts.

Thales took a deep breath.

But they belong to us, and only to us, not to 'them', not to anyone else.

At that moment, Thales looked firmly:

Only belongs to us.

Xi Lai looked at him quietly, but didn't speak.

In the next second, Thales turned a corner along the road in his memory and stopped.

Here they are.

In the alley ahead of them, Slimani, their target, left them with an awkward back.

The defender was leaning on the wall at this moment, limping forward.

The time is just right.

Thales raised the corners of his mouth, exchanged glances with Hille, and nodded.

But just before Thales was about to speak, another voice sounded from the other side in front of Slimani:

Slimani, the Great Advocate, isn't he? Let's find it easily.

Thales' complexion changed, and he quickly grabbed Xi Lai and hid in the pile of debris beside him.

You, you...

Slimani's tone was terrified at first, but he calmed down quickly:

Are you asking for money? Ah, I know, according to the law of the Emerald City, you are not robbing or extorting, you are just, um, just charging some 'tolls', I know, this area belongs to Sanga detonators, and I understand the rules, Here's to...

It has nothing to do with money, and it has nothing to do with the Blood Bottle Gang, but the person blocking the way disappointed him. It's only about you, Mr. Slimani.

Thales frowned, and instantly entered the senses of hell:

There were three men in front of Slimani, each armed and... possessing the power of the finisher.

Maybe the End Swordsman.

Unregistered military swords are not allowed in the Emerald City...you, who are you from? Slimani tried his best to maintain his composure.

Military sword.

Thales and Hille looked at each other.

Oops.

It seems that the comer is not good.

I heard that you went to the barber shop and asked about some things that shouldn't be asked. The swordsman blocking the way sneered, Now, defender, can you come with me?

I, I, I...

Slimani realized something, and he quickly pulled out the amulet: Actually, I still have a case to deal with, the Security Hall and the Judgment Hall, um, especially Judge Brennan will wait for my reply within today letter……

About the dead wool merchant, isn't it? another swordsman interrupted him coldly.

Wool merchant Diop.

Thales frowned.

It seems... I found the right person.

Don't worry, sir, the first swordsman chuckled, Whether it's the security hall or the trial hall, they can wait.

Slimani came back to his senses in shock, he pointed at the swordsmen in front of him tremblingly:

You, you...

As for Judge Brennan, well, don't worry, we can bring him a message for you.

The leading swordsman is very confident:

Whether it's your reply letter, or a long-term leave note.

Long-term leave of absence...

Slimani's face turned pale.

He, he can't, he can't... I don't, I don't!

The leading swordsman sneered and said:

there is nothing?

Slimani turned to run away, but he forgot that he had just broken his leg and fell to the ground with a thud.

I haven't done it before, the defender was tearful and terrified, crawling on the ground, I don't dare to do something wrong to the Iris family! Your lord duke can't do this to me!

The swordsmen smiled at each other and slowly approached Slimani.

Of course, defender, you didn't apologize to Iris.

Slimani opened his eyes wide:

No, please, please, I didn't know it on purpose, I just accidentally...

The leading swordsman looked indifferently, revealing his sword hilt:

Unfortunately, neither do we.

In the dark alley, Xi Lai cast a questioning look at Thales.

They want to silence them, what should we do? the eldest lady whispered in his ear.

Thales nodded.

That's your brother's man, you hide well, take him away when the opportunity arises, and the rest...

Hillary raised her eyebrows.

The swordsmen were getting closer and closer to Slimani.

Damn.

The prince sighed.

Why is the Xinghu Guard not around every time something like this happens?

Thales touched the JC dagger behind him, felt its cold and hard material, and felt a sense of familiar strangeness in his heart.

The dagger was unsheathed, the blade was cold.

Long time no see, old friend.

do you miss me?

The next moment, the sin of Hell River burned with joy, bringing endless burning heat and pain.
