Three days later, Neptune's Day.

Today is a special day, which can be easily seen from the sudden bustle of Empire Street.

The patrolling army, which was originally deployed cautiously, has directly increased its manpower by dozens of times today.The sea that has always lived in the inner city of the empire and never left home

The demon clan even dispatched all members.

Sea-monsters who had no chance to be seen in the past are now scattered in all directions in the sea area.At a glance, those fish tails and fish tails shining with strange luster

The scales are dazzling.

"Leo!" A deep heck came from the imperial palace.

The soldiers patrolling around stopped to take a look, only to see two people coming out from the depths of the palace one behind the other.

"Oh, it's Lord Leo and Lord Leo."

"I haven't seen the two adults for a few days."

"I said why I always feel that the sea area is too quiet these days. It's rare that Master Leo didn't cause trouble."

The soldiers around took a sneak peek, then hurriedly lowered their heads in awe and reverence, and continued patrolling along the original route.These little shrimps can't control the affairs of the people above. If they are caught by Lord Layer and deserted, the consequences will be terrible.

Leo stopped going out when he heard the sound, turned around, and waited for the person with one hand on his hip: "Why, what's the matter? I'm in a hurry."

The impatience shown by the young man made the visitor frown slightly.This man in silver and white armor had a rare and handsome face among the sea monsters, and his gestures were even more powerful, like a sword in its sheath, occasionally revealing a restrained and dangerous edge.

Leyer clenched his fist and coughed softly on his lips: "I haven't seen you around... active in the past few days."

The word "troublemaking" was replaced at the end of the door. Leyer said so, looking at the young man with inquiring and puzzled eyes.

In fact, it's not just Leo, even Yaze and Fanen are almost completely invisible these days.Several people disappeared together as if they had made an appointment, which really had to be noticed.

Leo squinted his eyes, and the emotion in those eyes was something that Layer couldn't understand. Afterwards, the boy said nonchalantly: "Today is the most beautiful day in Atlantis.

On important days, if you have time to meddle in my business, why not do your patrol work first.It saves time for good and bad people to mix up and cause troubles. "

"Of course I won't let go of my responsibilities, but you and Yaze..."

"Oh, I suddenly remembered that the puppet left in Fann's store has not been maintained. The situation is urgent. Let's talk about it another day."

Wang and Fan En said, now is not the time, who told you not to go to the appointment three days ago, hum!

"...Hey, Leo!"

Looking at the young man's disappearing back, Liye couldn't help pursing his lips, and slightly clenched his five fingers covered in light armor.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, and he always felt flustered and short of breath these days.It's like missing something extremely important, wanting to find it but don't know how to start, anxious and depressed.

This inconsolable feeling, what is he...

On the other side, after leaving Leyer's sight, the blond-haired, blue-eyed boy suddenly accelerated.He hopped among the buildings of the Empire with ease, with a clear purpose.

In the depths of a remote alley, there is an old shop with a "resting" sign.

In the hut of the shop, Ye Cang was sitting on a familiar seat, enjoying afternoon tea.

The tea with a light aroma drifts out of the dense mist, rising all the way to the dim lights on the roof.The whole room exudes a sense of warmth and tranquility, which makes people think of a snowy night, a burning stove, and an open storybook.

The white-haired witch sat opposite him, his delicate face was blurred in the rising mist, and the corners of his smiling lips were more mysterious.With a deep voice, he told the story in a leisurely manner.

"...The prince loved by the Little Mermaid was about to marry the princess of the neighboring country. She was heartbroken and asked the witch in the sea for a dagger. On the day of the wedding, the little mermaid cut off the prince's body with the dagger. Hamstring, and then, throw him into the sea."

"She rescued the prince from the sea, and told him that she was the one who saved him this time and last time, not the neighboring princess. So, the truth came out, and the little mermaid and the prince lived happily together."

The Witcher ends the story, looking a bit left out.

Ye Cang looked at him silently: "It's a very unique story."

Van En smiled gently: "The reason why a fairy tale is a fairy tale is because its ending is always happy, and the process is not important."

Ye Cang was noncommittal when he heard the words, and looked down at the little girl who was lying on his lap: "Anna, do you like this story?"

A pair of white and tender arms lay on his knees, looking along the arms, a little girl with blond hair, blue eyes and a little baby fat was half kneeling on the ground, cuddling him gently.

This little girl named Anna is the new doll that Leo left behind to accompany Ye Cang after the runaway Lilia, and is set to be Lilia's younger sister.

The blond-haired puppet girl didn't speak, but looked at him quietly with a pair of blue eyes, calm and peaceful, yet revealing a kind of quiet persistence.

The bright red skirt spread on the floor, like a blooming rose flower, bloomed tenaciously at the side of the person in front of him.

Seeing this, Fan En bent his lips: "It seems that she likes the king more than listening to stories."

Ye Cang shunned the girl's upturned hair. Then, he noticed that Yaze was standing there in front of the wall not far away. The pen he was waving in his hand stopped for some reason, and Ye Cang gently put down the tea in his hand. cup.

When Ye Cang got up, Anna stood up consciously, her short legs stepped up, and followed behind him step by step.Fann stayed in his seat, watching them softly.

The two walked to the wall painted with murals. The phantom of the mirage pen on it had long since disappeared, revealing a new wall that had been repainted white, and Yaze was painting new patterns on it.

Compared with the broken walls and black and red lines of the original version, the new murals are light and bright in color, and the content in the picture is also very familiar.

"Oh? Are you drawing a group photo of us?" Ye Cang smiled knowingly as he looked at the picture that had begun to take shape.

Yaze lowered his head slightly, "Yes, but I don't know how to write the most important part..." He glanced at Ye Cang as he spoke, his focused gaze rested on his face, and then he suddenly looked away, with faint ears. red.

Ye Cang recognized at a glance that the location in the painting was the main hall of the Atlantis Palace——

The magnificent gate painted at the front opened, and several boys and youths stood one after another on the crystal-like ground inside the gate.They have very different temperaments, but their faces are full of amazing beauty.

In the bright and dark light, it is beautiful and dangerous, not only like a benevolent angel in the temple, but also like a soul-stirring monster in the ghost realm.

And no matter who it is, no matter how naive, rigorous, indifferent, or careless their expressions are at the moment, everyone is looking straight at the end of the picture—the last place where everyone is waiting. , with a magnificent throne.

The person on the throne is still only a vague outline. It can be seen that the painter hesitated, as if he didn't know how to draw.

Ye Cang raised the corner of his mouth, and lightly held Yaze's hand holding the pen: "Come on, I'll help you finish it."

The sudden unfamiliar temperature from his hand made Yaze's pupils shrank suddenly, and the hand that could wave a sharp blade without hesitation shrank slightly at this moment.

To make matters worse, he could smell the distinct breath of the person behind him, as if suddenly sinking into a sea of ​​hallucinatory flowers, which made him completely unable to concentrate.

Not far away, Fan En seemed to chuckle, and Anna, who had been watching Ye Cang, also looked at him silently. The girl's pure eyes were calm, reflecting his embarrassment.

"Yaze, don't be distracted."

"...Yes, yes, king."

A sweet and painful torture.

I don't know how long it took until Ye Cang let go of his hand, and then Yaze let out a sigh of relief, and his back, which was always stiff, became slightly sore with the sudden relaxation.

Ye Cang took a few steps back, looked at the completed picture from a little distance away, rubbed his chin: "Well, it's the first time I've drawn myself, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Yaze slowly looked at the young man sitting on the throne on the screen, and couldn't help being in a daze for a while. Finally, he looked at Ye Cang behind him and said softly: "...it's beautiful."

He seemed a little lost in thought.

Ye Cang shook his head helplessly. He scanned the family portrait that can be said to be very meaningful, and dealt with everyone's positions and names one by one. Then, when he scanned the young man standing outside the line, , could not help a meal.

The young man stood in the deepest shadow of the picture, his eyes were covered by jet-black shattered hair, just like his taciturn and withdrawn character, like an assassin hiding in the night, full of secrets, silent.

... Xing Ang.

It was once the sharpest knife in front of the king's throne, and it is also the last member of the missing king's guard.

Ye Cang couldn't help but think of a conversation about him not long ago——

"... Xing'ang? He disappeared. After you suppressed the volcanoes with shark beads, he was nowhere to be found in Atlantis." Facing Ye Cang's question at that time, Fan En's expression seemed to be Some are meaningful.

"He's not missing, it's betrayal!" Leo's reaction was particularly intense, his hands couldn't help trembling with anger, and he pressed his hat, "With his strength, it's impossible not to stay at the scene if he suffers an accident." Leave a trace, he clearly left on his own initiative!"

"..."

Thinking of Xing Ang's identity and character, Ye Cang couldn't help but sighed, and looked away from the picture on the wall, expressing that his head hurt a little.

"--jingle!"

The sound of the doorbell being knocked suddenly came, and everyone followed the sound, and a young man with blond hair and blue eyes rushed in like the wind.

"King, king!" Leo yelled cheerfully as soon as he entered the door. Of course, such an overactive and naive character would only be revealed in front of Ye Cang.

"I've found all the materials for you, the custom-made doll you want!" Leo rushed to Ye Cang as if asking for credit, and smashed a lot of things from the space hub, "The best ones you can find, The resulting effect will definitely be better than Lilia."

Running around for the past few days has exhausted him. Some precious materials are not sold on the market at all, and only he can go to some hidden secret places to find them by himself.

"Thanks for your hard work, Leo, well done!" Ye Cang was not stingy with his praise, and raised his hand to kill him. Then, he looked at the pile of things in front of him and pondered, "But, I think this There may not be enough material."

The boy blinked his bright eyes and looked at him suspiciously.

Ye Cang said: "I'm sorry, you left in a hurry and didn't make it clear. What I want to do is not a petite girl like Lilia, but an adult male with normal height and build."

"..."

The store suddenly fell silent.

Even Yaze recovered from his daze, and looked at him with the same sluggishness as Anna.Van En slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

The silence lasted for dozens of seconds, until there was a "ding" buzzing sound, and it was Leo who directly broke the puppet thread in his hand.

"King," the young man's smile was a bit forced, with a hint of ferocity, "Can I trouble you to go there yourself, may I know who has this honor?"

"A friend of mine." Ye Cang thought for a while and added, "A very good friend."

"Ah, is that so..." Leo mumbled inaudible words, and finally looked up at him with a innocent smile, "Okay, don't worry, Wang, I will prepare new raw materials soon , make sure to make your good friend beautiful."

Ye Cang glanced at him, as if looking into his heart: "Leo, he is a normal man, he cannot lack necessary body parts, understand?"

After all, in his memory, the boy had such a criminal record.

Leo: "Oh."
