The protagonist is always seen

The combination of black hair and pale skin is a bit gorgeous.

Such a person, in the former barbarous age, was a perfect gift that could be presented to the gods in order to obtain the mercy of the gods.

Dale thought secretly.

This is a beauty that even the gods will be moved by. If the gods see him, they will also bring disasters to the world in order to get him, so as to completely sever his connection with the world and take it as their own.

Now such magnificence is covered with a layer of indifferent majesty, which makes people afraid to look directly at it.

Ariel loves to laugh, he laughs a lot when he is with friends or family, he is by no means an aloof person.

Where he feels comfortable, he is always very relaxed, never stingy with his smile, when he smiles, the whole person comes alive, and anyone who sees it will find it pleasing to the eye.

When he is outside, he cools down in order to make himself look more intimidating. Unlike Waum who mingles with soldiers, Ariel maintains his majesty with a taciturn and indifferent image.

Especially in the face of enemies, this makes him always appear cold and cruel on the outside. Outside of Beatrice's rule, his name of snake and scorpion is also widely sung as his beauty.

As if such a beauty dyed with blood is more artistic, the bard exaggerated the facts to a certain extent.

Thanks to this, the prince has a great reputation among the people and has many fanatical supporters and opponents.

No one would have guessed that Ariel, who has such a reputation, is a cheapskate who likes to act coquettishly and beg for cookies from his grandmother in private—he doesn't even want to share cookies with Vaum.

In Dell's eyes, Ariel is a cold image, condescending, arrogant and cold, which is very in line with Ariel's reputation.

He crouched at Ariel's feet in embarrassment, still with the same faint smile on his face, but what he was thinking about was the dagger at his waist.

This holy son of the temple is different from the previous ones. He is a veritable leader of the temple knights, and he is a radical. Not only does he not dislike war, but he is also very active. The world is pure.

He believes that human nature is evil, forgiveness is useless, and only severe punishment can make them hesitate before doing evil.

In the past, once such an idea was appealed to him, his identity as the Son would be immediately deprived. The temple favored the Son who is compassionate and merciful. However, in such a chaotic situation, the functions of the Temple have changed. It is the belief of the people, and it is also responsible for maintaining the rules-this was the matter of the king and ministers in the past.

The elders had to do things that they had dismissed before. Under such circumstances, the elders were much more tolerant of him, and having grown up in such a religious atmosphere, he knew how to generate trust.

Language is an art. Even if he thinks the other party is stupid, he will avoid expressing direct opposition. Until now, the elders only think that he is a little rebellious. Some elders even think this is an advantage. They feel that it is not the same as before. It's the same, it's good for young people to have some energy, and they really need to be tough now.

But he wants more than that.

After all, he is a despicable hypocrite.

But now this situation is beyond his expectation, Ariel is much sharper than he imagined, and the scarlet stories circulating only focus on his beauty, but they don't mention that he himself is so sharp.

Dale originally thought that eight parts of this reputation was due to his beauty and legendary life experience, and part of it might be due to his bloody and violent methods. No matter what time, cruelty can always quickly bring happiness to a person The popularity itself does not match, but now it seems that these external things may have covered up the prince's own edge.

It was he who underestimated the enemy. Dale expressed his obedience from a smooth manner. His muscles relaxed, and there was no trace of disobedience in his eyes. touch.

But to his surprise, Ariel didn't do anything unnecessary, he just took back the sword in his hand and sheathed it flatly, without any emotion, as if doing something he didn't like or hate.

Dell was a little confused.

After being taken back, he was not tortured, but was put in prison.

Beatrice's army never treated prisoners like this. The queen's iron-blooded style was thoroughly implemented in her own army. They were like swarms of marching ants, and no grass grew anywhere they went.

Dale hooked the corners of his lips. It's interesting that such a mother has such a gentle child.

This is so good, he thought he would have to suffer a little bit to get in.

He tentatively stretched his body, moved his fingers a few times, took out a strangely shaped tool from nowhere, reversed it a few times, and then the shackles fell off from his hands.

Dale calmly opened the prison door in the same way, groped the bricks on the wall a few times, and opened the secret passage very skillfully. The entrance was very narrow, almost enough to accommodate his passage, but his actions were very fast. Like a fish swimming in the water.

The guard guarding the gate was still vigilantly watching the movement around him, unaware of what was happening inside the prison.

The prison is built by the City Lord's Mansion. Even though the city has been abandoned for decades, the buildings inside are in good condition. There is not even much dust. Spiders do not spin their webs here, except for the plants that originally covered the ground. It is completely a city that can become the capital of a country.

Ariel has fallen in love with this place since he came here, especially the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord may have a very favored child. He loves his child to the point of doting. The City Lord's Mansion is full of childlike and beautiful buildings.

Dozens of swings are placed in the garden, half of the rooms in the main castle are used as children's playrooms, and there are scattered toys in the castle master's bedroom, as if the child will come back anytime.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is simply a playground.

Ariel likes it here. He has sat on every swing, is very interested in the toys in the room, and walks through every building like an adventure. It makes him a little regretful that there are no blooming flowers and tall trees in the garden. The black land was exposed.

He can feel the owner's intentions from these details, and he likes this kind of things that have been poured into a lot of people's energy.

Through the dilapidated buildings that are now somewhat gloomy, one can vaguely see what a beautiful building complex it was back then.

He decided on this place as a temporary base almost without hesitation.

The consequence of having a wayward chief is that the workload of the adjutant will increase exponentially. The huge building complex is not suitable as a garrison, and the complex terrain will greatly reduce the difficulty of the enemy's infiltration, not to mention that the abandoned castle has no protection at all.

From now on, the adjutant has almost been arranging the surrounding guards, discarding unnecessary buildings, delineating the main garrison area, and arranging the guards according to the configuration of the palace.

However, under such heavy vigilance, the prey that had been placed escaped from the cage.

Ariel looked at the empty prison and the shackles thrown on the ground, feeling dazed for a moment.

What about such a big person?

Without waiting for Ariel's order, the soldiers had already started to search layer by layer from the inside to the outside, constantly reporting news to the adjutant, who screened out valid information and passed it on to Ariel.

Ariel stood at the door looking at the shackles on the ground and didn't know what he was thinking. He walked to the side of the shackles, squatted down, adjusted himself according to the direction of the faintly visible footprints beside the shackles, and the adjutant followed his gaze. In the past, that was the wall, and the direction of those footprints was more likely a coincidence than a clue.

People may subconsciously turn to their goals when they act, but in the final analysis, these are just possibilities without any substantive evidence. The adjutant has such a character, cautious to the point of being rigorous. If there is no reliable evidence and information, he will Wouldn't try to believe that, luckily that part wasn't the lieutenant's job either.

Decision-making and thinking are the responsibility of the chief. He is very clear about his responsibilities. He only needs to collect information, report and then execute the orders given back. Even if sometimes, he foresees the results in advance based on a large amount of information, he will never Will be talkative.

This made him perfect for a blade in a leader's hand, and he was one of the sharpest of those, Beatrice found him, forged him, and gave him to Ariel.

He has always faithfully played the role of the blade, but such a weapon also has its own pride. Before Beatrice, he had watched his knife-bearer walk into the abyss without saying a word, and every time he Every time he can be alone, after all, he has no responsibility to pay for other people's mistakes.

After being discovered by Beatrice, he thought he had found a qualified knife holder, but then he turned around and came to Ariel.

He didn't think that such a prince would be a qualified knife holder. Most of the time, he just made a dagger to protect her children according to Beatrice's wish. For children, daggers are too dangerous, but With a mother like that, it's not surprising.

With this in mind, he came to Ariel.

Ariel has no ambitions, and he doesn't even have a desire to act. He does what he asks. Without him, he would never be troublesome. The adjutant almost feels that Ariel should be of the same kind as himself, suitable for growing into a sharp-edged sword. blade.

But sometimes he is very willful, which is unqualified for a blade, but it doesn't matter, after all, the little prince probably doesn't need to do anything, his mother will hold everything in front of him.
