The protagonist is always seen

A raven flew to the current queen's palace. It is called the death bird in the folks. It is the messenger of death that everyone does not welcome. The bird racked and drove away the poor nightingale. It tilted its head, opened a pair of scarlet eyes and spoke before everyone could react.

"Hail to you, great queen."

As it spoke, it spread its wings and saluted, looking extraordinarily gentlemanly.

The guards in the hall immediately protected the Queen behind her, and pointed their weapons at the uninvited death bird.

Beatrice looked at the bird coldly, without speaking.

Raven didn't care.

"I am here under the order of my honorable master to relieve you of your worries. Your beloved child will escape from the hand of death and live a smooth life from then on."

Beatrice softened her expression a little, at least on the surface, she was like a statue just now, but now she has subtle movements.

"What does your master want?"

There has never been a free lunch in the world. Compared with being bitten off without knowing what, the price that is clearly put on the face is much more reassuring.

The crow jumped twice, turned to peck its own feathers, and said indifferently.

"It's not a big deal, it's not even a price, my master wants the custody of the little master, my queen, I hope you can agree, after all, my generous master didn't hold you accountable for breaking your promise—"

Beatrice closed her fan and made a moderate sound.

The crow closed his mouth knowingly.

"My child is free."

"Of course, there is no doubt about it."

"Promise me in the name of Deoman."

The crow quieted down, like a puppet that suddenly lost its magic crystal, and lost its power. After a while, its red eyes flashed a few times, and it started to move again, chanting aloud with a rough voice like a bard up hymns.

"I swear to you in the name of my great master, Deoman, His Royal Highness Ariel has precious freedom at all times, praise freedom, praise Your Highness, praise wings."

Beatrice's snake-like pupils moved away a little, and she lay down relaxed.

The deacon beside him bowed to the raven, his white gloves were spotless, he said neither humble nor overbearing.

"The queen allows you to step down."

In the next few years, the image of the bird of death has improved a lot in the folk. According to various legends, their arrival can bring health to children. When adults see the bird of death, children will salute it. , in order to receive the blessings they bring.

The palace of the Lord of the Abyss has changed from the dark and gloomy appearance of the past. All the windows have been opened, and the gardens that have been idle for a long time have been planted with precious flowers found from the world, and piles of magic crystals are used to maintain them. Growing up, all the rooms were covered with thick carpets, which were filled with treasures brought in from all over the world. Now some of them have been cleared out and replaced with exquisite toys, such as golems that pop out of boxes when they are opened. There are little people making faces, shaking and laughing at your prank box, and sleeping birds that start singing when touched.

The portraits in the corridor were removed and replaced with new ones. Each of them can be called a work of art, from the hands of the most prestigious masters today, with different techniques, the only thing in common is the above The character is a boy with black hair and black eyes.

The owner of the castle is so high-profile to show his love for children, almost everything in the castle must first consider the feelings of its little owner.

Deoman has always had this kind of doting attitude towards Ariel from the beginning. He will harden his heart and restrain him a little bit only when something is not good for Ariel's growth, as long as Ariel is under his gaze. If he is safe inside, he will not impose more restrictions on Ariel's behavior, even if Ariel is as ambitious as Beatrice and wants to seize the rights in his hands.

The way he and Beatrice raise their children are completely two extremes, one is iron-blooded spurs, and the other is unrestrained doting.

And no matter under what circumstances he was brought up, Ariel has never changed. He is greedy and wants to keep everything. Father, mother, friends, no matter what position they are in, a friend is a friend .

Deoman was willing to fulfill all wishes for Ariel, so he restrained the abyss and ordered them not to smuggle into the world, so he gave Ariel the right to travel between the world and the abyss, just because Ariel missed Mr. Croce Grandma's cookie, he pardoned the humans who invaded the abyss, and sent them back to the world unharmed. He restored the glory of the succubus and allowed them to live in the capital.

When Ariel was about to shed his feathers and grow tougher wings, Deoman prepared the safest nest for him.

"Don't worry honey, I'll watch over your loved ones and make sure they're safe."

Ariel nestled in the soft quilt, beside Deoman and his friends, he seemed a little drowsy due to the arrival of the molt period, half clutching Deoman's collar, very To whisper to him.

"I miss old Grandma Crossie's cookies."

"Wait until you wake up."

Deoman's smile deepened.

"I promise."

"But you said I'd sleep for 30 years, which is too long."

Deoman glanced at Almerod next to him, then lowered his eyes, looked into Ariel's eyes, put his hands on his chest, and solemnly performed a knight's salute.

"I will send the leaves of the elf mother tree to Mrs. Crossy and your friends. Time will favor you and the people you care about."

Cuomo rubbed his head, not understanding what's so pretentious. Almerod still sheds his feathers from time to time. He sleeps for hundreds of years, and every time he wakes up, he will be stronger.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it, and you'll have to—"

Emerald elbowed him, and Cuomo graciously shut up.

Ariel smiled at them, could no longer resist instinct, and then fell into a deep sleep.

There was still a warm fire burning in the fireplace, the lamb was sleeping soundly beside the fireplace, and there were still dewy flowers in the vase on the table. The group closed the curtains and went out quietly.

Ariel only felt that he had a very comfortable sleep, but when he woke up, he found himself in a strange place, surrounded by blue curtains, and the light was dim. There were only a few bronze utensils on the wall far away, and there was a fire burning inside. The ground was piled with gemstones of various colors and all kinds of rare treasures. It was cool to step on it. He woke up after a sleep and felt very refreshed. When he passed a bronze mirror, he saw his own face from it, and he was still black and black. In her eyes, a head of hair that is so black that there is no variegation softly sticks to her neck, and her skin is so fair that it almost reflects light, with strong bright colors, but the clothes on her body are clearly silk underwear.

He walked out of the door and found a dark stone passage outside, with copper palace lanterns on both sides, as if it was underground, he walked out along the passage without much thought.

The two stone doors at the end were tightly sealed. He touched the cold wall, and when he was worrying, he heard a faint voice from outside the door.

Some people kept begging for mercy, while others cursed angrily,

"How could someone move the mechanism in the room? A group of trash, let people sneak in, check it out, and kill all relevant people!"

The wall in front of him suddenly began to vibrate slowly, and Ariel stepped back, coughing twice because of the dust that suddenly fell.

When the door was fully opened, there was silence. He raised his head and saw Jiang Zihan in a dragon robe in front of him, and seven or eight Jinyiwei in flying fish suits with scimitar waists behind him, and a group of eunuchs kneeling on the ground behind. maid of honor.

At this time, one year has passed since Lin Luan left, the war has subsided, but Su Lingran is still guarding the border, Ye Zhan has taken over his father's burden, but he is still not stingy, Jiang Zihan is cruel, but he is deeply loved by the people , They only recognize people who can fill their stomachs, and they would worry about the emperor's empty harem during chats on weekdays.

Sui Yi had already made peace with Jiang Zihan, he occupied a piece of fertile land, most of the clansmen put down their whips, and started farming like the original people, built houses and palaces, had a place to stay, and Many people continue the tradition, go out to do business, make their homes all over the world, and do some business. It turned out to be a place where merchants gather for a while. Rare gadgets from all over the world can always be found here, and there are often blond and blue-eyed people from the Western Regions driving horses. Go to trade.

Zhou Yan was made the Duke of the state, and Sui Yi only cares about ability and does not care about other things. There are many young generals under his command, but Zhou Yan is still the most special one. His mansion was hurriedly taken away by the minister to appease the increasingly irritable king.

None of them noticed Lin Luan's awakening.

Lin Luan took a step forward, and the group of palace people took a step back in horror. Jin Yiwei is well-trained, but everyone is also tense. They have all seen the young man lying lifelessly in that room with their own eyes. inner.

Only Jiang Zihan, facing everyone's eyes, pushed away the old eunuch who wanted to stop him, and stepped forward to hug Lin Luan full of joy.

Lin Luan was still a little dizzy until he was hugged tightly by Jiang Zihan, but soon he laughed, his eyes sparkling.

"I want to drink corn rib soup, as long as my mother makes it."

Jiang Zihan looked very calm, he just hugged Lin Luan restrainedly and then let go immediately. Sensing the cold temperature on Lin Luan's body, he took off the dragon robe on his body and put it on him under the eyes of everyone.

Then he carefully traced Lin Luan's eyebrows and eyes with his fingers.

Lin Luan obediently grabbed the corner of the dragon robe by himself, without refusing, without panic, he put on the robe with peace of mind, and stayed quietly by Jiang Han's side.

He was very close to Jiang Zihan, and it was a long, long time before he heard Jiang Zihan's sigh, which was so light that it shattered as soon as he touched the ground.

"So it's not a dream this time."
