Kingdom’s Bloodline

Latest website: "Calm down, calm down, calm down!"

Thales gritted his teeth and told himself not to look at that face, and at the same time tried to help the two sisters up, but the next moment, the two girls from Karabiyan shut their mouths.

"sisters?"

"sisters!"

They looked at each other and jumped up from the ground firmly and tacitly!

Under Thales's surprised gaze, the Karabiyan sisters supported each other, and the two jumped up and down the corridor on three legs, disappearing from sight at a magical speed.

After several seconds, Thales finally reacted:

Have you been left behind again?

Didn’t you say you wanted to help me?

Aren’t you afraid of being the enemy of the world?

Footsteps sounded.

Thales, who had been dumbfounded, shuddered, turned around, and came face to face with that blank face.

this……

Thales's mind went blank for a few seconds, and his whole body was numb. It wasn't until the arc of the other person's lips became wider and wider that he thought of running.

The sins of the Hell River surged up unexpectedly, spreading to the owner's legs amid the infinite fear, forcing him to turn around and take steps, but——

Boom!

Thales only felt a pain in his jaw, and he fell so hard that stars appeared in his eyes!

The prince lowered his head in pain and was horrified to find that the straps of his two boots had been tied together at some point.

There was a rustling sound overhead.

Thales raised his head with goosebumps, looked at the faceless monster standing in front of him, raised his hands, and spoke tremblingly:

"That, that...even if you are a monster, you should have a limit..."

Fortunately, the monster in front of him ignored him.

I saw it reaching out its hand, grabbing the part where its eye socket should be, and pulling it upward!

Thales shivered again.

The strange face without eyes and nose was instantly distorted.

Eh?

Thales reacted: the next second, the faceless man in front of him pulled up his entire face and pulled it away from his head.

"Ah, I'm so bored."

A cold and impatient female voice, as if she had not woken up, came from under the strange man's face.

Thales trembled and finally saw standing in front of him a round-faced girl covered in sweat and fanning herself desperately.

people.

It's people.

Normal people.

A normal person with a head and a good face!

The prince then breathed out and patted his chest:

Fortunately, fortunately, it is indeed a person.

Because, because if not...

"What are you doing!"

Thales, who had recovered, was in shock. He sat on the ground, pointed behind the girl, and cursed at the long hair hanging from the ceiling with a dry human head:

"Who is that? Do you think this is fun?"

But before he could finish his words, the deflated faceless ghostly face instantly came to him, scaring Thales into shutting up instantly.

"Here, this is the new 'Faceless Cork'." The face without eyes and nose dangled in front of his eyes, and he pulled out a smile that looked weird. "Legend has it that there is a Kevin Deere, who was born His face was ugly and disgusting, so his father put a steel mask on him... More than ten years later, he fell in love with a girl and wanted to take off the mask to face his true love. Unexpectedly, his mask was wearing It was too long and too tight, and when they opened it, they discovered that his facial features had been stuck to the mask... Unfortunately, they didn't have time to combine it with the 'Mrs. Smallpox Corpse'."

"Mrs. Smallpox Corpse? Combination?" Thales frowned.

The mischievous round-faced girl put down the 'Faceless Cork', stretched out her hand bleakly, pulled the picture frame on one side of the wall, and then pointed to the top of her head:

"Here, ma'am."

The next second, the large bunch of hair hanging from the ceiling, the terrifying hair that had frightened Thales and the Karabiyan sisters twice—Mrs. Smallpox Corpse—moved upwards inch by inch, slowly rose up, and disappeared on the pillars.

"It is said that there was a Duke of Kevin Deere, and his favorite mistress disappeared one day. It was only a long time later that the servants found her hanging in a corridor that had been abandoned for a long time. Even her skin and facial features were rotten, except for her long hair. Long hair... The Duke had nightmares every night, dreaming that his mistress with rotten face climbed down from the ceiling and wanted to drag him up and hang her... A temple priest suggested that he clean up all the abandoned corridors in the palace, so that No one knows where the mistress was hanged, including herself... But since then, servants said that Mrs. Smallpox Corpse has been hanging her hair down all year round, crawling upside down on the ceiling, just to find the thread where she hanged herself. Dead corridor, if you happened to walk under her at that time..."

That is, you have made it into a trap, didn't you just happen to walk by?

Thales watched "Mrs. Smallpox Corpse" disappear at the top of the corridor, and couldn't help but secretly shudder, holding back his complaints and complaints.

"This time," the round-faced girl pointed listlessly at the mechanism above her head, "Mrs. Smallpox Corpse used it as bait, and then..."

The round-faced girl raised the faceless Kirk's hood to her eyes and shook it at Thales.

Only then did Thales see clearly: This round-faced girl had freckles on her face, her hair was tangled into a bird's nest, and she was wearing a servant's casual clothes, a pair of gray gloves, and a luggage hanging on her back.

It seems that she is a bit different from the girl in the portrait with an innocent smile among the flowers?

"This is the key to magic," the girl put down her hood, calmly, "It's all about attention and misdirection, do you understand?"

I understand you——

Thales could only show a polite and embarrassed smile: "Okay, that's interesting... Although I have only seen the portrait, I would like to ask, madam, are you Kai..."

"Here, do you want to try?"

Thales felt a heavy weight on his hand, and he lowered his head: Faceless Kirk's eyeless, but still smooth and lifelike face was smiling at him.

"Fuck——"

Thales was so excited that he shook his hands and threw it away:

"Thank you, no, no need, I don't play with this."

The round-faced girl with freckles raised her eyebrows, picked up the faceless Kirk on the ground nonchalantly, and patted the dust:

"Are you afraid of ghosts?"

"No, no," Thales denied flatly, "I just... just hate being scared!"

"Then you hate ghosts?"

"No! Ahem, it's not that I hate it, I, I respect ghosts, respect them!"

"Do you believe there are ghosts in the world?"

"Well, well, it's a matter of opinion, a matter of opinion..."

The freckled girl squinted her eyes and looked at the prince for a while: "Why don't you stand up?"

"Ah, of course..."

Thales reacted and worked hard to untie his bootlaces: "It's just because of your luck that I have to untie the boots on my feet first... It's almost... soon... What kind of knot did you tie... Ah, it's finally okay Oh, I’m talking about you little girl—fuck you!”

Thales, who had just raised his head, had his chest heaving and looked forward in stunned silence.

"you!"

He pointed angrily at the round-faced girl who put on the faceless Cork hood again and bent down in front of him:

"You are fucking sick!"

"yes."

The round-faced girl - to be precise, the faceless girl - took off her hood again: "By the way, your clothes are ugly, don't order them from them again."

Thales was stunned:

"Huh? Clothes?"

The freckled girl in front of him snorted and twitched her chin at his dress:

"Putting it inside makes you look like a human head. It's put in a jar for people to admire. It makes you laugh when you poke it. It's not vivid at all."

Thales was furious for a moment:

"Really, I'm really sorry, it cost two hundred and twenty-four - wait, what the hell is a taxidermied human head?"

But the girl shook her head and stretched out her hand to him:

"Forget it, I'll help you up, let's go to the banquet."

Thales then remembered that he was still attending the banquet, and then he snorted angrily, calmed down, held the girl's hand, and stood up with the help of her.

"Ah! Don't use so much force. My hand was injured and I can't use my strength..." The round-faced girl managed to pull him up.

"Sorry. Anyway, thanks. The gloves are nice—eh?"

The next second, Thales saw in horror that the girl's face showed pain at first, and the hand he held made a horrifying sound of muscles breaking, and fell off from the forearm!

But this time, Thales looked sharply, activated the Sin of Hell River, stepped back steadily, and did not fall backwards.

"snort!"

Thales waved the "broken hand" on his hand - the skin was smooth, felt good, and the workmanship was quite similar - and looked coldly at the girl in front of him who was covering her elbow in pain:

"Stop pretending!"

"The disabled person put on a severed arm and tried to hit it with a carriage. He fell down and broke his arm. Then a group of people came up to blackmail him - even the lower city of Yongxing City has long been out of favor with this thing!"

Sure enough, the next second, the round-faced girl's look of pain disappeared.

She became expressionless again, and calmly stretched out a complete hand from her sleeve:

"Oh, you can see it."

Thales sneered, holding up the "broken hand" and shaking it:

"I knew it. You've scared me so many times. How could you be so kind and come to help me get up? It's definitely a scam!"

Even you, the experienced first-time player in the abandoned house, want to deceive me?

But the freckled girl didn't smile, nor was she disappointed. She just tilted her head and pouted:

"But that hand is not fake."

Thales was stunned.

He looked at the "broken hand" in his hand, then at the freckled girl's hand, and frowned:

"I'm telling you, if you don't do this next time, don't do any more damn shit..."

Thales screamed incoherently and fell to the ground with a plop.

The boy's butt hurt, but he had no time to care, he just shook his arm desperately - the "broken hand" on his hand suddenly came to life, clasping his palm tightly, twisting back and forth like a soft-bodied insect!

Finally, before the prince felt that he was about to cry, the amputated hand was thrown to the ground by him, but it was still bouncing.

The moving severed hand - the terrifying memory of the blood magician suddenly came back to Thales' mind.

"What the hell is that-"

With tears streaming down his face, Thales crawled backwards and stopped abruptly as soon as he spoke:

On the other side, the round-faced girl was shaking her right hand indifferently, using a few thin transparent threads to twist the amputated hand.

"Look, the attention is diverted," the round-faced girl said calmly, as if she was explaining a common sense in life, "Ta-da!"

The severed hand obediently "flyed" into the girl's hand, and under her control, she gave Thales a thumbs up.

Thales spent several seconds calming down his pounding heartbeat.

"you……"

Frightened into a cold sweat, he took a deep breath, and for a moment actually laughed out of anger:

"What the hell -"

"This is the 'Ghost Hand Princess', a Kevin Dill who married into the royal family." The girl held up the ghost hand and interrupted Thales. "It is said that her prince husband suspected her of being unfaithful, so he imprisoned the princess. He was forced to interrogate in the basement, leaving only a small window in the iron door for the princess to reach out to get food once a day... A year later, when the king came to visit, he heard the princess's sobs and cries, and then he discovered his brother's evil deeds. ...But when the iron door was opened, everyone discovered that the princess had left a note and committed suicide in the second month. Her body had been rotting in the dark for a long time. Only the arm that stretched out the door to get food every day was still as white as ever. , plump and plump..."

"alright!"

Thales, who was both angry and frightened, crossed his arms and made a big cross:

"Stop it!"

The round-faced girl shrugged, put the 'Ghost Hand Princess' in her bag, and then extended her palm to Thales.

"Hey, no need to do that!"

Thales resolutely refused the girl's support. He touched his sore buttocks, stood up on his own, and said fiercely:

"I will never again - eh, eh, stop! That's right! Right there! Don't move! Don't come here! Stay away from me! Stay away! The further away, the better!"

The freckled girl was startled and stopped:

"That's fine, the key points of vision magic are different, you can feel it..."

"No!"

Thales shook his head angrily and put his hands on his chest for protection:

"No! No! No! I don't feel! I don't feel! I refuse to feel! I don't want to feel anything!"

The round-faced girl still had a weak expression. She just squinted at Thales, as if she was looking at a toy.

Thales glared at the girl, carefully leaning against the corner, like a crab, walking out of a horizontal arc step by step, just wanting to escape from her safely.

The girl's expression changed:

"Ah, be careful! The wall behind you...don't look back!"

At this moment, Thales suddenly felt something touching the back of his head.

There was a thump in his heart, and his heart was pounding.

"I--"

Thales suppressed his face and looked at the girl opposite him in pain: "What do you want to do again?"

The girl shook her head and pointed behind Thales:

"It's not me, but..."

Only a ghost can believe it!

Thales roared in his heart.

He spent his whole life trying to convince himself not to think about what was touching the back of his head. Well, it was probably Madam Smallpox Corpse or something like that. Then he persuaded himself to move with difficulty and walked to the side.

Anyway...

Anyway, you name it!

Anyway, I will never look back!

"It's just a picture frame." The round-faced girl said innocently

Thales' heart skipped a beat.

He took a deep breath with all his strength, focused on leaving this place, and stopped listening to the girl's words.

"Hey, what's in your hand?"

"On your hands - no, don't, please! What kind of misdirection, damn attention diversion, anyway, I will never be fooled by you again!"

"But hey, if you don't look at it now... it will come out of your hand and look for you when you get to the dark place."

"roll!"

Thales moved carefully and advanced to the distance of an eternal lamp.

But he was determined not to look at the "thing" in his hands until he died:

"Huh, I don't have anything in my hands - Wo Zhi Nyima ah ah!"

Even though he was prepared, Thales trembled three times when he lowered his head.

He stared blankly at the grimace on his sleeves that glowed green and smiled ferociously at him.

"Fluorescent paint can only be seen in the dark," the girl came up and kindly explained to him, "I used to have to paint it on in advance... Now I make a seal, and then just print it on clothes or paper - Well, this I made a lot of them and gave them to you as a souvenir.”

Thales, whose heart was already overwhelmed and who was about to fall ill, mechanically took the grimace seal and looked up at the girl numbly.

"Look, this is the image of the soul bone Jacques, the cannibal ghost in hell who specializes in eating human flesh. It is said that at four past four in the morning, if you draw his symbol on the mirror, you can see its face when you breathe again , if you agree to give it human flesh, it will come out of the mirror. Of course, it will first ask for the nearest human flesh, which is-"

"Please! Ma'am!"

Thales clasped his palms together and painfully interrupted the round-faced girl who was talking with gusto:

"Yes, I admit, I'm afraid of ghosts! I'm really afraid! I've been afraid since I was a child! I'm so scared! I'm scared to death! So, please, madam, young lady, aunt, please let me go!"

The girl pursed her lips and looked at him.

Thales just clasped his palms with a gloomy expression, waiting for the other party's answer - or judgment.

What about the Karabyan twins?

What about Kasha and Qina?

He missed them both, really! Too much!

It’s unbelievable that he actually found them annoying before!

He was wrong!

It is a big mistake to be ignorant!

Cohen's good sisters, they are so kind, so gentle, so considerate, how can they be annoying?

When we talk, you say something to me, you say something to me... how cute!

Now, Thales couldn't wait to be with them every day, not doing anything but listening to their elegant and moving stage accents!

What a wonderful experience!

"emm..."

The round-faced girl pouted and hesitated for a while, the freckles on her face fluttering.

Finally, she nodded, as if giving Thales amnesty:

"Okay, but the competition banquet is coming to an end..."

The girl turned around and led the way towards the banquet hall.

Thales exhaled, never wanting to look back on the experience he just had - going to hell, that's probably what it felt like.

"If we don't hurry up, we will miss the fireworks show. I heard that the new fireworks they imported this year use a brand new Li Jing formula." The round-faced girl expressed an indifferent expression.

Thales' expression was numb, and he snailed forward step by step, begging the girl not to look back:

"I just want to miss you now..."

But the round-faced girl shook her head.

"No, no, no, you treat me badly, that's not okay, that's not enough of a man, at least not like a real man."

Thales twitched his face and laughed:

"A real man would never encounter 'Mrs. Smallpox Corpse', 'Faceless Kirk', 'Ghost Hand Princess' and 'Soul Bone Jacques'..."

"Then you've met them all, so you're not a real man?"

"You -" Thales breathed out and told himself with reason: Don't argue with this damn - literally - girl.

There are unpredictable risks.

But the girl took the initiative to talk to him:

"But, hasn't anyone told you that when you get along with me, you have to be gentle, polite, respectful, sincere, and considerate—like a real man?"

"Huh, gentle, polite? Come on," Thales subconsciously wanted to sarcastically say something to the girl, but his heart tightened before he could say anything, "Ahem, I mean, there really is..."

service?

Thales remembered something and his expression changed slightly.

He looked at the girl's back in surprise, but the latter just walked forward on her own:

"Really? Then think about it again?"

Think again……

[Remember, when getting along with that girl, remember to show your gentleness, politeness, respect, sincerity, and thoughtfulness, like a real man...]

Thales' pupils suddenly shrank!

Duke Xinghu stopped and looked at the round-faced girl in disbelief.

"You, what did you just say?"

The girl with a round face was seen crossing her hands and holding the back of her head. She was swaying as she walked. Coupled with her wild hair that looked like a bird's nest, she had distinctive features.

wrong.

Thales shook his head to confirm that he heard correctly.

What she said was obviously that I was...

"I say, a real man," the round-faced girl said without looking back, "a man, a man, a man!"

"Man-what?"

Thales was not so sure now:

"I'm sorry, can you repeat it again? What you said before? When I was getting along with you..."

The girl hummed: "Hey, you don't know? Did they not tell you? Or do you not understand the code?"

Thales frowned.

"What, what's the secret code?" he asked tentatively.

The round-faced girl sighed, put down her arms, and turned around.

Thales subconsciously shrank and took a step back.

"Okay, they said you are suspicious by nature...but don't worry, you haven't been exposed." The girl looked at him sympathetically, held the back of her head, and continued to walk forward, "In the Emerald City, we each have separate lines of communication and are not subordinate to each other. ”

Single line of communication, no ownership of each other...

Thales' eyes became more and more surprised.

No.

No way?

"What, what contact?"

He quickened his pace to catch up with the freckled girl, ignoring the thrilling talent: "I, I don't understand what you are talking about... Hey! Answer me!"

Thales grabbed her from behind, but felt weak in his hand.

With a sneer, he pulled the girl's arm down!

A few seconds later, the young man frowned and looked at the "broken hand" that was moving wildly in his hand. His face twitched with disgust:

"Ghost, Princess Ghost Hand?"

The round-faced girl turned around and pursed her lips in response.

"You see, this is the weakness of magic." She took away the severed hand from Thales's hand, not forgetting to pull its fingers continuously during the process. "In front of every audience, it's best to perform the same thing, don't repeat."

Thales took a deep breath.

"No, no, no, let's not talk about magic or tricks. What you just told me is..."

The next moment, the freckled girl suddenly reached out and put a hand on his shoulder that was so fake that it looked real.

"Listen up, Your Highness," she curled her lips, seemingly unhappy, "your mission here is..."

The round-faced girl leaned close to Thales' ear, while not forgetting to let the ghost hand bounce back and forth on his shoulder:

"Discretion, decision-making on the spur of the moment..."

At that second, Thales trembled all over!

Discretion?

A spur-of-the-moment decision?

His eyes hardened.

No, this sentence is, it can only be...

"...The rest will be done by others."

After the girl whispered, she blew a breath into Thales's ear.

The round-faced girl stared innocently at Thales rubbing his ears in pain:

"Do you understand?"

But neither the pain in his ears nor the girl's pranks could overshadow the horror in Thales's heart at this moment.

The prince looked at the girl in disbelief.

But, how is this possible?
