The strongest witch is a boy [Comprehensive]

The prince came back and brought back a child from a foreign race.

This rumor spread quickly throughout Asura City as if it had grown wings.

Although Asura City is not isolated from the world, it is also relatively independent from the outside world. Apart from warriors who often go out to fight, there are also many tribesmen who only live in Asura City all their lives. Set foot less.

Under such circumstances, "outsiders" entered the city and would stay in the city for a long time. This unprecedented situation must attract everyone's attention.

Kartikeye walked slowly in Asura City with the peacock, and introduced him to the place where he would live in the future. All the Asuras would salute from a distance, and those who were not of sufficient status would actively avoid it. , would never rush forward to talk to the prince, but the fact that "the prince is in the city with outsiders" made them doubtful, and when the prince was far away, these people gathered together to discuss.

Kartikeye has become accustomed to the kneeling of others over the years, and only raises his hand to signal those people to stand up when passing by.

At the border, if King Asura officially issued an order, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the four generals would kneel down to obey the order. Of course, he would kneel on one knee. Not being given special treatment, or rather, being able to emulate the etiquette of generals and valkyrie generals without an official position is already a kind of preferential treatment. Ordinary soldiers have to touch the ground with their knees.

Peacock has been living in the dungeon since he was born, and he has never received the treatment corresponding to the noble status of "Son of the Emperor of Heaven". When he first saw such a scene in Asura City, he was shocked, but This smart kid didn't do anything out of the ordinary. He was still quietly held by the prince of the Asura clan and followed him, but he just cast doubtful eyes on him.

"do not worry about it."

Kartikeye walked a long distance and finally noticed the peacock's uneasiness. He stroked his soft hair and comforted him, "Probably because peacock's hair color is rare."

The peacock let out an "ah", and belatedly pulled out a strand of hair, and frowned slightly at the purple line.

"Is it rare? Purple..."

"Well……"

Kartikeye thought about it for a while. When he was still in the world, he had seen colorful hair. With hair dye, not to mention normal hair color, even hair color that has never appeared in history can emerge. However, since he came to this world, he had never seen purple hair.

Kartikeye's murmur made Peacock's heart beat.

The wise child of star vision realized that something was wrong, and he instinctively felt a fear deeper than anxiety.

"Your Highness Kartikeye, is it...my hair...shouldn't appear in the heavens?"

"Shouldn't it?" Kartikeye shook his head disapprovingly, "The heaven is so big, where is there any hair color that shouldn't appear? It hasn't happened before, but it doesn't mean it won't be there in the future."

This kind of comfort did not reassure Peacock, but instead confirmed his guess, and his heart, which was still floating just now, fell down again as if it was in the clouds.He pressed the eye on his forehead through the thin forehead hair, and his voice also lowered.

"No... I understand. This is indeed a hair color that should not exist. Your Highness, look, there is no one with this color along the way, right?"

Kartikeye couldn't help being taken aback, and looked down, only to find that the boy next to him was covering his forehead with a serious face, and for no reason, he thought of a word-"old-fashioned". At this time, he finally understood the old-fashioned The mood of King Shura and King Gandapo.

Decades ago, in the beautiful flying city of Qiandaraja, King Gandapo persuaded him in the setting sun to let him put down his burden.

……You are only 16 years old, you still have too many landscapes you haven’t seen, too many voices you haven’t heard, too many places you haven’t measured, your heart is still so immature, it deserves to be cared for Slowly feel the best parts of these worlds with tenderness, instead of hastily accepting the heavy and cruel parts...

...Your Highness, I have seen a huge tree that can accommodate a family after a thousand years of growth. However, before a thousand years, it was just a small sapling. If you want to urge it to grow up too early, Storm and sun will only break it.I have no doubt that Your Highness will eventually be strong enough to support the heavens, but now that you are only 16 years old, you have the right and the obligation to feel the softest part of this world, instead of filling your heart with strong love and hatred, please Leave more time and space for yourself, let your immature heart grow slowly...

He was touched by this passage, but it could not be called "sudden enlightenment". It was only at that time that he realized that he had options other than "taking responsibility" and a path other than "fulfilling his mission", so he tried To "find", to explore their own life.

The gentle King Gandharva used music to give him an outlet to carry and vent his emotions, while the lovely Kali helped him through the period of "from man to god" with his long-term company.When he knew Kali, he was still a human being who abandoned the name "Shiina Kyo", and when he sent an invitation to the Gandapo tribe in the name of the Asura tribe, he really became a human being named "Shiina Kyo". Kartikeya" named Asura tribe.

How many years have passed?

That is a lifetime of years for real humans, but for the Protoss, it is just a short period of time, so short that the children of the Protoss have no time to grow up.

Kartikeye has gradually gotten used to the time of the Protoss, and he is also used to "children who are dozens of years old". When he suddenly saw such an overly precocious child as Peacock, he couldn't help but wonder if the King Gandharva looked at him back then. Like the way he looks at the peacock now, does he feel a cute and interesting meaning?

Kartikeye bent down holding back his laughter, lifted him up from the peacock's armpit with both hands, and held him up high. He didn't laugh until the peacock showed a panicked expression.

"That's right, my lovely Highness Peacock—you are just a teenager, you don't need to think about complicated problems, and if you have any questions that you don't understand, just leave them to adults."

After the initial surprise, Peacock quickly regained his composure, and made a rather subtle expression on his baby-fat face, as if he wanted to ridicule, but he couldn't make such a gesture because of the kindness he received from the other party. look, so there has been a wonderful result.

Kartikeye asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Peacock flattened his mouth and said softly: "If I remember correctly, His Highness Kartikeye should be less than 80 years old now? Strictly speaking, His Highness is just a 'child', not an 'adult', right?" .”

"..."

Kartikeye blinked, put the peacock down speechlessly, and said after a while: "I really didn't count it carefully, but since King Zun said it, there should be nothing wrong."

The "little boy" Peacock and the "big boy" Kartikeye looked at each other.

After a while, Peacock took the initiative to break the awkward silence.

"Is Your Highness familiar with Mother and Master Xingjian?"

Kartikeye took Peacock's hand again, thought for a while before answering: "Strictly speaking, I am not familiar with Zun Xingwang, I have only met a few times, but the circumstances of the few meetings are quite special."

The peacock immediately raised his head and looked at the other party with longing eyes.

Kartikeye accepted the longing and smiled kindly, knowing that it was the child's instinct to seek out his parents, so he followed Peacock's hope and talked about his several meetings with King Zun Xing.

"The last time we met was at the succession ceremony of the maiden of our family, King Zun Xing brought Jiu Yao to watch the ceremony."

"Ah, I know!" Peacock answered quickly, his face darkened again after he spoke, "I know...Jiu Yao is the disciple of Lord Xingjian, and he is also the next—no, at present, it should be said yes The star of this term has met."

"You know?" Kartikeye froze for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and swallowed his question back.

If the peacock grew up in Shanjian City and was pampered and raised like Ji Xiangtian and King Ai Ranming, he might have missed the other party's brief hesitation—the two beloved princesses were in their teens. I don't know what "observing words and expressions" is, because they don't need such skills, and naturally someone will greet them and give them everything they want. They are just objects of observation and observation, and they never need to please others, but peacocks are not like that , in the dungeon, he once felt the deep love of his mother, and also experienced the contradiction between his mother's love and hatred, and more clearly felt the pain of his mother's wanting him to die.Although the prince of the Asura clan suddenly appeared and rescued him like a savior, he didn't take all of this "for granted". Uneasy", he was afraid that he would be abandoned again, so he paid special attention to Kartikeye's every move.

Peacock thought carefully for a while, and said tentatively, "Your Highness Kartikeye, you should know that there is only one star in an era, right?"

The Asura clan and Xingjian have a close relationship, which is unusual, so Peacock boldly made such a guess, guessing that his mother might have informed the other party of such rules.

Kartikeye nodded as Peacock expected.

Peacock breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"This is the rule passed down among the stars, and it is also an absolute taboo. Only one star will be born in an era. Even if there are other people who can observe the future through the orbit of the stars, he will not become a star, at most it will be' Astrologers' only."

It feels really amazing for a child to speak in a particularly mature tone.

Kartikeye tried his best to control his expression, so that he must not laugh at this time - otherwise, the child must be very angry.

"...Well, if there are two people who can see the future through the stars, who will be the star? The older one? The one who awakened the ability first?"

The peacock showed a look of surprise and shook his head happily.

"No, that's not the case. The identity of the 'star view' is passed on through the tokens of past ages. The person who has the token is the 'contemporary star view', who can see the complete orbit of the stars. All other fortunetellers must be inferior .”

"The token of the star..."

Kartikeye pondered for a moment, and suddenly, he thought of something.

He has seen it in the hands of Zun Xingwang, and he has seen it in the distant past.

There was a crazy genius who salvaged the "God's Relic" from the ancient ruins, and the broken tin rod absorbed the flames of Mibu, and restored its radiant appearance in his hands. presented.

The answer is about to come out.

"—Tin Staff!"

"Yes, it is the tin rod."

In a soft voice, the peacock confided secrets that were only circulated among fortune tellers.

"The tin sticks held by the stars of the past generations are not only tokens, but also store the power of the stars. With the power of the tin sticks, Hoshimi protects himself from being punished for revealing the future, and also pours his power into the tin sticks to protect the future before he is about to leave office. The person who holds the pewter staff is the real astrologist, and the one without the token is just an incomplete astrologer."

Kartikeye asked the question in his heart almost uncontrollably.

"And what if the tin rod breaks?"

Peacock froze.

"...The tin rod will not be broken, it will protect the star view, and the star view will also protect the tin rod, unless there is no more orthodox star view..."

Broken pewter rods, sunken ancient ruins.

The ancient ruins hidden deep in the deep sea, now looking back, its structure is somewhat familiar.

it's like...

Kartikeye looked in the direction of the city gate.

——It's like the city in the sky, the city of good vision, which is connected to the city of Asura through a secret passage.

In a trance, Kartikeye seemed to be about to touch something, but a sudden voice interrupted his thinking.

The former witch, Peer, knelt in front of her with a tin staff in both hands.

"Your Highness, Your Highness Zun Xingwang... Last words, please pass on the tin staff to His Highness Jiu Yao in the Astrology Palace."

The peacock suddenly fainted when he heard the bad news.

Kartikeye hugged the child next to him, and asked in shock, "How could King Zunxing do that?"

Pell held up his tin staff, and replied with tears: "My sister and I were cleaning the temple. I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Zunxing to come in suddenly... and walked up to the altar. There is always a magic flame left by the king on the altar... ..."

There is no need to say the next words.

The magical flame of the Asura tribe can burn everything.

Kartikeye sorted out his mood as quickly as possible, and asked: "Did King Zunxing only leave this sentence?"

Pell replied in a low voice: "His Royal Highness Zun Xingwang also said... said... May the Emperor of Heaven be separated from his body and die in peace."

Kartikeye was startled, and quickly looked around.

"...give me the tin staff, and forget about the rest. You haven't seen Zun Xingwang today."

"Thank you Your Highness."

Pell turned the tin staff around the corner, and left in a nonchalant footstep.

Kartikeye held the tin staff and let out a long sigh.
