The evolution of slime

Chapter 149 Two brothers

There is a palace group in the east of the Odea Palace. This palace group is different from the richness and luxury of other palace groups in the Odea Palace. Its exterior decoration is extremely simple, but the appearance of this palace group is indeed very strange. Among them There are circular buildings, square buildings, and even pavilions that really float on the ground.

The palace complex is collectively called "Zaofang", and there are hundreds of dwarf craftsmen living in it, and they are all the best among the dwarf craftsmen.

And today, a regular customer came to Zaofang again.

"Prince Tao, you are here again today, why, hasn't His Majesty taught you enough?"

Seeing that the only prince of Odeya came to build the house early in the morning, the master craftsmen inside couldn't help joking with him.

"Grandpa dwarf, my father doesn't care about me anymore. He said that I will come whenever I want." The second prince named "Tao" squatted down and happily grabbed the beard of the oldest dwarf.

"Oh, oh, don't grab it, the beard is going to fall off."

The old man slapped Tao's hand away with a stare. Although he looked very angry on the surface, he really liked the second prince in his heart, and the old man believed that not only him, but also all the dwarves who built the house liked this very much. Second prince.

This is not only because Tao grew up under the watchful eye of these old people, but also because Tao has shown amazing talent in mechanical manufacturing. Most of these old people have lived long enough, and some of them already have their own apprentices. , but the vast majority of people have not yet found a disciple they are satisfied with who can inherit the mantle.

As for Tao's passion and amazing talent in crafting, as well as this little guy's cheerful and sincere personality, the old men who built the house undoubtedly regarded him as someone who could inherit their craftsmanship.

But because Tao's status is too noble, it's not a good thing for a prince to be obsessed with craftsmanship, and it's not the first time that Tao was reprimanded for this matter, so although Tao came to build houses every now and then to learn craftsmanship, these The old man was afraid that one day Tao would be beaten by his own emperor, and he would never come again!

So when these old people heard that Tao was allowed to build a house, they couldn't tell how much happier they were than Tao.

"Grandpa dwarves, what are we going to learn today?" Tao looked excitedly at the dozens of dwarf craftsmen who built houses in the center. Every time Tao came here, he could learn a lot. .

"No hurry, no hurry, but Tao, why did the attendants behind you bring so many things?"

"Oh, those are all things in my room. I have made an agreement with my father, and I will live in Zaofang from now on."

Craftsmen: "."

It is true that he lived, Tao really moved into the building, and spent all day "hanging out" with dwarf craftsmen. After a few days, these old people really didn't realize that Tao was scolded by the emperor, so they were even happier He taught Tao the skills of his whole life, and Tao learned quickly.

A year later, if it weren't for Tao's status as a prince, these old people would all want to award Tao the highest court craftsman medal.

A year later, Tao and his brother Ladd held the coming-of-age ceremony together. Originally, according to the tradition of the Odea Empire, the prince's coming-of-age ceremony had to be held separately, to show that each could be independent.

However, at the joint request of Tao and Ladd, the two brothers' coming-of-age ceremonies were held together, which is unique in the history of Odeia, and it also reflects that the relationship between the two brothers is as hard as a dragon spar.

"Tao, what's the matter, what's the matter? Could it be that brother hasn't visited you recently when building a house? I'm really sorry, brother has been too busy recently"

After the coming-of-age ceremony banquet, the two brothers finally had time to sit by the pond in the backyard of the palace. Ladd sat beside his younger brother. Tao seemed to be preoccupied and threw stones into the huge pond, splashing a whole Splashes and ripples rippling slightly under the moonlight.

"No, no, brother has done a lot for me." Although he has already reached his full age, he has been protected by his brother and others in the court, but he is extremely innocent, "If you want to say sorry to brother, it should be Tao .”

In the early days, whenever Tao went to build a house and was found out, Ladd always interceded for Tao, and Tao also knew that if it weren't for his brother, his father would not allow him to stay in the house all day like he is now.

He knows that his elder brother likes to study and has his own unique views on politics and military strategies, but he doesn't like to live a life of intrigue with nobles and ministers and playing checks and balances.

But there is no way, the Emperor Odeya only has their two sons.

So Tao knew clearly that his elder brother also knew that he didn't like to live like a king, but in order to make his life easier and happier, Ladd could only take the burden on his shoulders to take the initiative to participate in politics, and Ladd has done a very good job of communicating with the nobles and weighing the relationship with the ministers.

There is only one emperor, and it is enough for the eldest son to be so good now, and although Tao is immersed in craftsmanship, the relationship between the two brothers is very good, and there is no need to worry about any power struggle. People hang out.

It can be said that Tao was so innocent and at ease along the way, all because his elder brother sheltered him from the wind and rain.

Ladd put his arms around his younger brother's shoulders, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, we are brothers, besides, I am the eldest son, and of course I will inherit the throne in the future, but it's okay, you won't allow it in the future." Grab it."

Tao nodded with a smile, and punched his elder brother with both fists, the brotherhood was beyond words.

"Okay, can you tell my brother what's wrong with you? Is it because your father intended you to marry the daughter of the Cavendish family? But she is quite beautiful." Seeing his brother relaxed a little, he continued to tease him.

"Actually, the dwarf grandpas and I have been discussing about the mechanical species recently. We are very curious about the operating principle of the mechanical species, and also want to know whether the mechanical species is really emotionless. What about being called an intelligent race?" Tao shook his head, ignoring his brother's joke, his brows were only slightly frowned, and he threw a stone into the pond a little depressed.

"Is it because of this?" Ladd patted his brother's head lightly.

"What is it because of this? This is a very important issue!" Tao retorted seriously.

"Okay, okay, isn't this simple?" Ladd stood up, "My brother hasn't given you a gift for coming of age yet, if that's the case, then let me help you."

"Help me? Brother, you don't understand these things, how can you help me?"

"Secret." Ladd raised his index finger mysteriously.

Tao didn't ask further questions, but he knew that his brother would not let him down.

Sure enough, one month later, my brother gave me the most precious gift I have ever received in my life!
A mechanical species!
