Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 337
The Seventh Knight really sulked for a while, but this kind girl didn't really take any revenge—after all, it was herself who was really helped.So Orianna quickly changed her mood, and drove everyone back to her home after eating two small cakes.

It was now eight o'clock in the evening, and Orianna was humming and cleaning the second floor, when Gongsun Ce sneaked into the brother's room on the first floor, and said in a low voice, "I brought you some good stuff!"

"What?"

Mo Yuankai turned around in front of the computer, and saw his younger brother take out two books of folk legends with strange covers and paintings from his pocket.

Mo Yuankai took a copy of "King Morton and the Forty Thieves", flipped through it with a critical eye, and said seriously: "Wow, so yellow? Are there any more?"

"I bought four copies, half of each." Gongsun Ce threw him another copy of "King Morton and the Lamp Fairy", "After reading it, I think King Morton is a fucking scum."

"Just kidding, why don't you treat yourself as a scum if you have a chance?"

"How is it possible, I am such a dedicated man!"

Mo Yuankai hissed for a while without knowing the meaning, but said nothing.He quickly flipped through the illustrations and commented from the perspective of a connoisseur: "The painting style is too exaggerated, and there are basically no details. It is incomparable with Zero Island."

"How can there be a serious book for sale here? Try to go to Zero Island for a business trip next time."

"I want to go..."

Gongsun Ce also wants to go to Zero Island, not to mention other things, there are at least a lot of delicious food, and all kinds of folk customs are also worth studying, such as witches, ninjas, custom shops, mixed bathing hot springs, etc. It is very exciting to think about it.The people of Zero Island pay attention to encounters once in a while, maybe you can really meet the big sister Hei Changzhi who bathes in the hot spring together to exchange ideas about life ideals...

It's a pity that they are now in the old-fashioned Morton Kingdom, where it was still snowing yesterday, and the girls on the street are all wrapped up like zongzi.One of the two girls with the best relationship is the master who slashes people with a giant sword and the other is the female detective who goes to the scene of the murder every day.

Gongsun Ce sighed, "Don't you think it's a disappointment that our beautiful summer vacation has been drowned in the sea of ​​ancient scrolls in the mountain of murders? Brother!"

"I don't think so, the Knights' food is not bad." Mo Yuankai took a sip of Coke, "The landlord is also pretty nice, except that there is no milk tea for takeaway."

Gongsun Ce pushed down his glasses, and grasped the point of the words: "What do you mean a good landlord? Hmm? Tell me how to do it carefully!"

Mo Yuankai waved his hands again and again: "Throw it away, go."

Gongsun Ce pointed at his elder brother's face sadly: "Okay! I said that you need my help to engage in a duel with great fanfare. You, who like blonde and big breasts, fell in love with Orianna for a long time! You have thick eyebrows and big eyes! The superpowers in the world actually betrayed the class, and they were corroded by the sugar-coated shells of the feudal remnants after only two days in the kingdom!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have one!" Mo Yuankai slapped the table and stood up, "At most, it's just a little affection!"

"I still don't understand what your little affection means? Brother, there is no future for a long-distance relationship..." Gongsun Ce grinned, "So, little brother, I will cut off the love for you, and we will continue to be good single brothers. I am now Just go and talk to Orianna about your glorious feat of failing to catch girls 50 times!"

Mo Yuankai smiled sinisterly, without any embarrassment of being manipulated, but his eyes were full of calculations.

"You can go if you want... But Ah Ce, I suddenly remembered that you called last night to say that you were broken in love? I remember that your favorite type is the silver-haired big sister!"

Gongsun Ce took a breath of cold air: "Don't talk nonsense! It's all a misunderstanding!"

"Okay, you are not afraid of the shadow slanting, you are fine, so I can share with the Dawn Knight all the glorious pasts of your past. I still remember that you went to the doctor to try it after finishing the hypnosis..."

"Are you human?! Stop!"

The yelling of the superpowers could be faintly heard even through the door, making Orianna on the second floor frown. "Really... like a student!"

"They are indeed students." Elandia, who was reading a book, reminded, "Mr. Gongsun has not yet entered high school, and Mr. Mo is a freshman in college. Commonly speaking, you are also at the age of college."

"You too, Knight Elandia!" Orianna said unconvinced.She put the mop down, sat back on the chair, and exclaimed, "God, we're all still young..."

"Yes." Elandia said.

Orianna thought I was lamenting that we have strength at a young age and bear heavy responsibilities. What else can I say if you answer "yes"?She gave up the thought of hurting the spring and the autumn, thinking that the dawn knight had been acting with someone for a day, and instead asked curiously: "Elandia~ What do you think of Mr. Gongsun?"

Elandia closed the book—one in a series of classic detective novels, "The Valley of Terror"—and said: "His combat power fluctuates between the psychic state and the manifest state, and is not stable. He has a quick mind, He has a flexible mind. Good physical fitness, but poor physical coordination. He has a hot personality and a cold personality. He seems to be good at communication but withdrawn. He has high empathy, a simple sense of justice, and is hostile to official institutions and the aristocracy. A strong person in the sense of relationship and power has unconscious dependence. His self-loathing and self-destructive desire are very strong."

She picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and concluded: "He is a typical lonely dragon. I am very surprised that he has not become a dangerous element hostile to society. This should be attributed to Mr. Mo's help to him all the years .”

Orianna stared blankly at her colleague, as if she were looking at a vending machine with a wrong drink.

"Opinion, Elandia, your own opinion," she said feebly, "not your judgment of... this person...."

Elandia thought for a while and said, "I hate his essence, but I recognize his character and ability. He is a person we can work with."

"Oh, poor Gongsun Ce, he got amazing reviews under the worst premise."

Orianna grumbled, got up and continued with the housework.

The second floor was quiet, except for the occasional sound of the mop colliding with the cabinet.Elandia finished reading the last page of the novel, closed the book, and said, "Orianna, I have a question."

"what happened?"

"Under what circumstances would one person want to eat the same food as another?"

"Uh...is he hungry?"

"I don't think he likes it."

Orianna leaned on the mop with both hands like she was leaning on the hilt of a sword. She put her chin on the back of her hand and said with a smile: "That means, he wants to experience the other person's feelings. He wants to know more about the other person's life?" !"

"It's so strange." Elandia thought thoughtfully.

"Jane..." She habitually raised her hand, trying to ask her attendants to change a book for her, only then did she realize that Jane was no longer there.Orianna took the book in her hand, and comforted: "Don't be too sad... People will always change, I think she is also out of kindness..."

Elandia said nothing, just shook her head.

·
The night was dark, the lights in the city were extinguished one by one, and the capital fell into a silent night.

At this moment of silence, an oil lamp was still on, and the light flashed across the streets of the East District, illuminating the wooden sign of the "Dust Theater" in front of the green space, leading pedestrians to the largest tent among them.

The entrance of the tent was open, and the candles flickered inside, as if welcoming her.Jane Diella entered the tent, furious.She put the oil lamp on the table heavily, and said sharply: "You are the one who manipulated me! Situ Yi!!"

The troupe leader in a high hat and white clothes was sitting at the table with his back facing her, writing lines of words with a pen.He saw the guests coming, but he didn't turn his head, he just smiled and said, "I have pity on me, an actor from the Eastern District, how can I control the mind of a former knight?"

"It's your creation method!" Jane gasped, "Your creation method has affected my thinking and actions... I just want to help her! It's you! You made my good intentions go wrong! !"

Situ Yi put down his pen, raised his head, and stared at the chandelier hanging on the top of the tent with his slender eyes, watching the metal lamps shaking due to the night wind.He opened his mouth like a clown telling a grotesque joke, like an actor singing an opening song.

"If you are not good at learning, you will fail the exam, and you should hate the interference from others; if you use wine to relieve your sorrows, you are blaming the wine merchants for selling goods; if you lose your fortune at the gambling table, it is all because of the lively atmosphere; if you are evil, beheading people from your heart, blame him for his rich pockets!

On the gallows, before the ropes were hung, people were sent to be shackled, and all the spectators applauded.Looking back, caressing the heart, asking whether the other person is evil, or the heart is ugly? "

Situ Yi stood up from the table and turned around.His pale face was covered by shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly. The lights cast his shadow on the cloth wall of the tent, like a dry old tree, or a giant tower about to fall.

Jane backed away trembling, she came aggressively, but when the man really looked at her, she didn't even have the strength to speak.

A pair of arms wrapped around her neck intimately from deep in the darkness.Creekie appeared quietly, put her head on Jane's shoulder, and said softly:
"People in this world always have a habit of blaming dead things and other people for all their faults. However, people who seek innocence often fail to understand that escaping is a more despicable evil than facing it. Little knight, you It is said that the head is to blame for all this. But what did the head order you to do?
Who advertised that the Knight of Dawn cut off his armor?Who slandered the Knights of the Dawn as inhumane?Who came to the troupe to ask people for help, to inquire about the tricks of fraud and theft, who used their wealth to deceive craftsmen and create lamps that hide evil? "

Crookie's fingers propped up a stiff smile on Jane's face: "And who hasn't trusted her friend from the beginning to the end?"

"Nonsense!" Jane broke free, and Krikey backed away with a chuckle. "I... I shouldn't have anything to do with you! It's your fault, Hyde, if you didn't tell me...!"

"Oh... I'm so sorry, little knight. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have introduced this place to you, so that you can learn the tricks of concealing your soul. If you just let your manifestation method out, everything will be different... "

"Shut up!" Jane paled, "Shut up!!"

"It's all up to you, Lord Knight. I'm just a lowly apprentice." Krikey leaned against the desk, giggling, "You're much more shameless than me, I'm willing to bow down."

"Go away! I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore!" Jane stepped back, "You shameful villains must have a plan...I will tell the knight Elandia...!"

Without anyone stopping her, Jane picked up the oil lamp and was about to go out.At this time, Situ Yi picked up the script and turned back to the page that was about to be turned. Keriki glanced sideways and read:
[Knight Orianna is cowardly, but has a strong heart.Under the influence of external pressure and Mo Yuankai's encouragement, she successfully broke through her own shackles and used the power sealed by the holy sword.This is a coincidence that cannot be replicated, and it is also the result of accumulation.She became the true seventh knight, and no one can replace her role.Unless the emergency process is activated, the holy sword can no longer change hands. 】

"—!"

Jane's footsteps stopped, she was only one step away from entering the soft night, but she stopped in the candlelight of the troupe.She suddenly turned her head and asked fiercely: "That trash?! Why?!"

"Don't ask me, I'm not a knight." Krikey shrugged, "Oh, by the way, Dawn Knight got along well with that psychic. I think he's a better assistant than you."

She tugged at Jane's sleeve with her fingers, making her take a step back.A smile appeared on Situ Yi's face, and he said: "Tomorrow, a distinguished person will arrive, and the Prince of the Kingdom will see Li Dawn. If you want to know whether the words are true or not, you will know when you see them in person!"

Upon hearing the word "kingdom prince", Jane's expression changed drastically.

"I...you...!"

After a while, the light from the oil lamp left the troupe.

Situ Yi went back to the table and sat down, and Keliji sat on his desk.The third person came from outside the tent, wearing a black robe in the style of an ancient empire, he was only a child in his early ten years old, but his eyes had a look of arrogance like a prince.

"Where do best friends come from?" Situ Yi asked.

"I went to Jane to have a look. The progress is normal. Morton, the skeleton king, should be able to appear in the imperial duel."

Master Yinlv pulled a chair and sat down, disdainfully said: "Wuxiang, I really don't understand the use of your messy arrangements. Why waste energy on such an ignorant person? It's better to make more chess pieces, Or go to the spiritual prison world to set up some backup hands."

Situ Yi raised his orchid finger and said with a smile, "Do you know the way to win the game?"

Master Yinlu replied without thinking: "We win by quantity, and we overwhelm people by force. Send the strong as generals, gather the brave to form an army, and the upright momentum can break all ghost tricks. It is a sure victory."

Situ Yi covered his face with his sleeve, and laughed so loudly that he almost laughed off the hat on his head.

"Ahahaha! A game of chess is not a conquest, a chess game is like a theater. Chess pieces are more expensive than fine ones, and being strong but useless is useless!"

Lord Yinlu shook his head: "'Power' and 'quantity' are the most common wisdom in the world, you don't know how to play chess."

Situ Yi scattered his gestures and said, "Emotions are better than all methods, and malice is higher than other emotions. Swords have evil and benefits, and people are strong because of hatred."

"I hope you're right." The Hermit Lord didn't quite agree, he looked at the silent Keriki, "What about you?"

Keriki looked at the candlelight with blurred eyes, and was playing with a beautiful jackknife in his hand.

"I want to kill someone, even if I go to bed... are you coming?"

Lord Yinlu sighed heavily: "Walk slowly."

"A boring man, just like that stinky brat." Cliki grabbed a stack of documents and walked out of the tent unsteadily, "You're kidding, I have to deliver materials to the old man. I have to go to work tomorrow morning... what a boring life ..."

Keriki also left, and after a while, the candles in the troupe were extinguished, and there was no more light.

·
The next day Gongsun Ce woke up very early, because someone knocked on his door early in the morning.The young man opened the door sleepily, and saw a silver-haired female knight standing outside, fully dressed.

"... Early?" Gongsun Ce said in a daze, "Sleep together?"

"Good morning, Mr. Gongsun. Continue yesterday afternoon's practice. Let's go to the park to observe the morning runners." Elandia said.

Gongsun Ce stared at her for a while, and said sincerely: "You have something wrong. Really, you are sick."

They bought croissants and hot coffee for breakfast in the small coffee shop behind the building. The old lady who owned the shop cheerfully said that they were "again" the first customers this morning, and it was clear that Elandia was a regular customer.They walked a few minutes to Wood Park in the inner city, an urban green space that resembles a nature reserve.The gray path winds and turns through the meadows, with a large frozen lake in the middle.Gongsun Ce was sitting on a bench in the park breathing the fresh air, chewing bread, and commenting on the morning joggers passing by in imperial language.

"The girl with the short ponytail... um... has a good figure."

"Observe, Mr. Gongsun, not express desire in words."

"You can't blame me for playing too much...I guess...students?"

"She's a single mother."

"How can I see this?!"

When they returned home from their "morning practice", Orianna and her brother had already finished their breakfast.The female knight is tidying up the hygiene on the first floor nervously, like a student preparing for a dormitory inspection.

"Is the house steward of the Knights coming to make rounds?" Gongsun Ce asked.

"No! Have you forgotten what I said last night? Prince Charlie is coming to visit this morning!" Orianna muttered nervously, "I really hope everything goes well... It's best to settle this matter quickly, Then we go to the museum as soon as possible..."

Gongsun Ce nodded: "Aren't you just a prince, why are you so nervous?"

Orianna looked at him speechlessly, and Elandia explained: "Prince Charlie tried to pursue Orianna, so she didn't have a good impression of this person."

Mo Yuankai had just drank the lipstick tea when he heard the words and coughed violently.Gongsun Ce patted his elder brother on the back with a smirk, and asked casually, "What about you?"

"I hate the way the prince is," Elandia said.

The corner of Orianna's mouth twitched: "Prince Charlie also... used to pursue the knight Elandia in a relatively bad way."

"Grandma's, he deserves it too?!" Gongsun Ce was furious, "I don't even look in the mirror to see who I am!"

"He is the prince of a country..." Mo Yuankai said.

"I don't need to look to know that he is a greasy middle-aged man with a bald head and a big belly!"

At this time, a carriage passed by the window, and the doorbell rang a few seconds later, and Elandia stepped forward to open the door.Two lines of soldiers stood outside the door, and a handsome brown-haired man stepped down from the carriage. He was wearing a pure white dress embroidered with a blue star coat of arms. Gongsun Ce's imagination has nothing to do with it.

When he saw Elandia, his eyes lit up, and he opened his arms like a crowd, as if planning to give a hug: "Oh, our wonderful Miss Detective——"

Gongsun Ce quickly got to the door with sharp eyes and hands, and embraced His Highness the Crown Prince with redoubled enthusiasm.He patted the prince's back very vigorously, and said loudly with emotion like reciting a poem: "Ah! Your Royal Highness! Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally hope for you. Please come in quickly, please come in quickly! "
