The Blackening Journey of the Abandoned Knight

Edward stood at the gate of the Prince's Mansion and yawned.

Now the world is difficult, and it is hard to find a job that is easy to get money but not easy to get money. Guarding the gate, or guarding the gate of the Prince's Mansion is already considered a good job. There are still a group of people robbing the job of being frozen in the cold wind. Do it, if it doesn't matter, Edward still has no way to stand here.

Edward was originally just an aristocratic child who ate at home and waited to die, and occasionally went to the street to bully men and women. Of course, this does not mean to discriminate against noble children, but in fact, aristocratic children like Edward are indeed scum of society.

But Edward had an uncle.

Two years ago, his uncle was just a clerk in the Imperial Secretariat. He was very old but could not get a promotion. At home, his uncle always beat and scolded his aunt and his cousins ​​while complaining that he was underappreciated, but Edward knew that his Uncle is a sad kind of person who has no ability to do things well.If it weren't for them having a more honorable name a few generations ago, his arrogant uncle wouldn't even be able to find a job as a clerk.

Edward felt that the job his uncle could do well was bullying the streets with him.

But now, even Edward, who is a family member and a descendant of blood, has to bow his head respectfully and shout loudly when he sees his uncle, "Prime Minister Longjilit."

The Prime Minister flattered the second prince, and once the second prince gained power, Longji Lite, who was a dog, would naturally ascend to heaven along with him.

Edward was very happy at first. He thought that he could go to any restaurant to eat in the future without paying or giving a white note. Edward has been looking forward to doing this for a long time, and he has done it a few times before. "I just don't give money, how about you?" This sentence is really cool, even better than playing with women.

But since the pale knight, the crown prince's loyal dog, started to patrol the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, he never found a chance to do this again.

The bored Edward rolled his eyes skyward.

He suddenly found that the moon tonight was very round, and it was strangely round. Edward felt that something bad would happen.

Some kind of near-intuitive alarm stirred up deep unease in his heart. Edward felt that he was probably too sensitive, and what bad things could happen?It would be better than when he triumphantly took to the streets on the second day when his uncle was called the prime minister, and found that few shops were still open for business.

Even, Edward thought angrily in his heart, the number of shops opened in the imperial capital had not increased but decreased in the past two years.

The wind blew past the gate of the Prince's Mansion. It was just a small wind at first, and Edward didn't care. It was strange that there was no wind in this season's weather, but it didn't take long for the wind to increase rapidly like a snowball, like a monster or a monster. Some kind of living creature that is not in the concept of human beings made a strange roar, and Edward felt that something was wrong.

Probably... the temperature suddenly dropped a lot?

He watched helplessly as the first snowflake floated down from the sky, swirling around with the strong wind, but just happened to land on the tip of Edward's nose.

Edward felt like he was going to be frozen.

At the moment when the snowflakes fell, the cold wind that was howling and raging just now suddenly stopped, and the street suddenly fell silent. Edward could even hear his heavy and rapid panting and his heartbeat beating louder than ever. This sound still exists, and Edward wonders if he has entered the realm of the underworld.

He didn't enter the underworld, but the prince's mansion seemed to have entered a foreign land.

The wind lamp lit at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion also went out suddenly without any warning. Edward hugged his shoulders and shrank in the depression of the gate, hearing the sound of snow falling in a trance.

Until a footstep sounded.

Edward's heart skipped a beat.

It is said that those rebels would dig tunnels, climb over the wall and go through the back door to pretend to be insiders to sneak in, but didn't they never go through the front door?His uncle clearly told him that guarding the front door is the safest job.

Before Edward could figure out why, that person had already appeared in his vision.

A thin layer of fine snow had spread on the ground at some point, and the person walking from a distance seemed to blend in with the white snow.

Although they seem to be integrated visually, that person's sense of presence is too high, even if there seems to be no line between them and the vast white snow that can separate them, Edward knows who this person is.

Snow-white short hair, skin the same color as the hair, the armor covering the whole body is smooth to shiny, the spear is held in the hand, in a very regular posture, but I heard that the dragon is also very regular when it shows its teeth, But Edward didn't want to see either of the above.

He shivered, recalling some memories that he didn't want to recall in his life, and shouted as if he was about to cry: "Master Pale Knight."

The sound was faint, but the man heard it.

Lu glanced at him, "It's you, have you eaten Bawang meal recently?"

"..." Edward, "My lord, you have misunderstood me. I really don't like eating overlord meals at all."

"Really?" Lu nodded incredulously, "I didn't expect you to come here to work here. Where's your uncle? Didn't he always say that he wanted to train you to call him his successor? How is his health?"

"The Prime Minister is in better health than ever before." Edward replied submissively, and then saw the white knight raise an eyebrow.

"Prime Minister."

There were too many things in his tone that he couldn't distinguish, and Edward shuddered again, only to remember that the person in front of him was said to have died in the barbarian offensive and defensive battle on the Sethia line two years ago.

If dead, who was this guy talking to him?

"My lord...do you have anything to do?"

"I'm fine," Lu said.

"Then you, you, what are you doing here?"

The knight turned his head and hooked the corner of his mouth, showing a smile that he would never have shown in the past, "Didn't I always stay in the Prince's Mansion when I had nothing to do? What's wrong with me now?"

"..." Edward.

Although he has always heard that the crown prince and his loyal dog are close, he feels...is the relationship too close?

"What are you still doing in a daze? Lead the way," said the knight.

Edward didn't know why he did what he said—maybe he was beaten and beaten, so he listened to the knight reflexively—in short, he opened the door and led the pale knight in, and it took him a long time to get out of a daze wake up in the state.

Edward found that there was no one in the Prince's Mansion today.

But... isn't martial law still in place all day today?Edward wondered.

Then he discovered that the Pale Knight didn't say where he was going, why did he just start leading the way without asking? !

Ma Ma, I saw a ghost today, and my behavior has problems. Please ask a priest to shine the holy light on me!

road:"……"

Although walking behind, I thought I could see all kinds of shouts floating above Edward's head.

so interesting.

They walked directly outside the Crown Prince's bedroom suite. There were no lights on in the dark corridor, and it was so dark that they couldn't see clearly into the depths. Edward turned his head to look at the road.

Lu waved his hand, "It's enough to get here, you go, don't look back no matter what."

Edward shuddered for the third time, and he ran quickly.

Looking at his back, Lu sighed for some reason.

The darkness in the corridor is flowing, like fog, because it is diverging, like running water, because it is shaking from high to low, as if a demon is flapping its fleshy wings, shaking its tail and stretching its teeth and claws. Lu changes the posture of holding a gun, a Let it poke forward with your hand, like a white dragon tentatively pushing its head into a cave.

It is not known whether the cave is treasure or a trap left by the dragon slayer.

Familiar corridors, familiar doors.

Lu looked at the doorknob with white lacquer and gold carving patterns, and recalled...the experience of being stayed overnight by the lord for various reasons, and still wanting to share the same bed, the corners of his mouth twitched silently.

Fortunately, those invitations were rejected by him.

He pressed the doorknob down with the spear in his hand.

After the sound of a small mechanism running, the door opened back naturally, and the overly strong scent of rose incense gushed out from the crack of the opened door, which was somewhat unexpected but not unexpected, and the interior lights were bright.

The knight walked in, first glanced at the big bed, and confirmed that although there was a vague bulge on the bed behind several layers of gauze, no matter in terms of shape or breath, there was no living or dead person on it. Turning his gaze, he looked at a man and a woman sitting on the sofa beside him.

The shining gold accessories on the man's chest directly indicated his identity. Lu's eyes flicked from the resentment and jealousy of the second prince, and looked at the woman he didn't know.

Lu frowned.

The dress of the women is not quite like the side of the Empire, whether it is the slender legs wrapped in extremely elastic black gauze or the red lace corset seen under the open collar-if any girl in the Empire dares to dress like this, I am afraid Will be torn apart by the aunts - it is closer to the appearance of people from other worlds he has seen.

His brain figured out most of the joints in an instant, that evil prison would never allow those who entered it to leave safely, and the so-called "system" had already sent out pursuers before he knew it.

Even, getting mixed up with the second prince, the mysterious person mentioned by the smoker's leader is probably the prisoner of Tianluo Prison Gate.

His eyes subconsciously tangled on the black flower-like earrings beside the woman's ears for a few seconds before looking at the woman's face.

Beauty in the standard sense.

The woman gave him a smile that made him feel a little familiar.

"Hello, dead man, you can call me Black Plum Blossom."
