Chapter 39 Born for the stars(1/2)
This stone chamber is so large that it is so large that it is covered with more than twenty huge stone pillars and it still looks spacious.
But there are no windows, only a few large black holes in the ceiling, which are used as ventilation openings.
It's terrible cold.
Tailes stared blankly in front of him.
A strong figure, wearing a star-blue cloak, stood in front of a stone pillar with his back facing him.
A cave was dug up on one side of the stone pillar facing the strong figure.
Inside are two large stone jars side by side, and six small stone urns.
"Your grandfather is buried here, Eddie Canxing." A heavy and majestic voice came from the figure.
"To be honest, I don't like to live in the same room with him. His eyes were always filled with disappointment and accusations - after my mother passed away, I could hide from him even more."
Tailes is neither too strange nor too familiar with this voice.
“Come here.”
Tails took a deep breath and adjusted his mood.
He walked towards his nominal father, the Supreme King of Stars, His Majesty Kathel Canxing.
The Iron Fist King, Kessel V, wore a nine-star crown, held an immortal lamp in his right hand, and tightly held a crystal scepter with the shiny tip of the staff in his left hand.
He turned his head and looked at Tailes.
This sharp glance made Tailes breathless.
"Since the second king, John I, the supreme king and queen of every star will be buried in this stone chamber after death and cremation." Kessel's voice seemed extremely low.
As if I was afraid of waking up something.
Kathel reached out and put on the big stone jar on the left with a name engraved on it:
【King of Changzhi, King, Eddie l·k·Canxing, 595-660】
Kathel looked at the second big stone jar on the right, with another name on it.
"This is my mother--she passed away when I was fifteen."
[Queen, Natalie J·f·Canxing, 604-642]
He, His Majesty the Supreme King, touched the small stone urns again, and his expression was complicated and difficult to understand.
"And the children of the kings who failed to inherit the throne and had not yet divided the surnames to change their surnames were in these small stone jars."
Tailes was stunned. He turned his head gently and saw that there was a cave on each side of the stone pillar, with two large stone jars placed inside, and occasionally a few small stone urns appeared next to it.
This is the royal family's cemetery?
Kessel lowered his head and looked at a small stone urn, and Tales looked at it.
[Starlight God of War, Sodara Liberator, Duke of Star Lake, John L.K. Canxing, 613-660]
"This is Uncle John, the only person in the family who once traveled around the world."
"He was my father's youngest brother and was almost raised by his mother-so I insisted on putting him in his father's cave."
Kathel touched the stone urn and showed a smile on his face - Tailes saw it in surprise?
"He is knowledgeable, skilled, humorous and funny, and he tells no one to match his jokes."
"When he was a child, when he came back, my twin brothers and I liked to pester him the most, listening to him telling his love story with Princess Suye - until my mother exposed him with a cold face. At that time, I thought he was the most powerful person in the world."
"John's marriage almost made his father angry - God, he actually married a female knight in the extreme! I think John should have completed the embrace and kissing sessions during the wedding."
"After John was crowned, he would often come back to the capital to see us, and occasionally give Little Constant a little gift. But since his wife passed away, I rarely see John's smile."
Tailes felt the atmosphere in the stone chamber and did not dare to let out a sigh of vibe.
Kathel was immersed in the past and turned his head for a minute later.
"This is Brother Midil." Kesel looked at another stone urn with a slightly frown: "The person who should have inherited the throne."
When Tailes heard the familiar name, he hurriedly looked at Shiweng:
[The eldest son of the king, Wang-Chu, Midil t.e. Canxing, 622-660]
"He has the best relationship with his father. He is the only person who can match his father when playing chess. He doesn't speak much and always smiles at our brothers playing. He is very smart and popular. Everyone says he is the best king and the best brother to me."
"But when I was sixteen, one day, I came back from the maid's room in the middle of the night and accidentally saw him sitting decadently in the atrium, drinking alone with a sad face. At that time, I just felt strange, he was also depressed?"
"Now I finally understand him."
Tailes looked at the stone urn and thought about the rumors about Midil Canxing.
That is, the rescuer of Jini, the one who Kilbert respects, the one whom Yodel wants me to be, the one who “better than him”?
Next stone urn.
【Sword of Light, Second Prince, Horace m·e·Canxing, 623-660】
"This is Horace. The Tower of End still retains the highest sword speed record of his student days - as I heard last time, no one can break it yet."
Kathel blasted the stone urn and snorted: "He is the only extreme master in the family, and even has a majestic nickname. My father often sighed that since the 'swolf guard' Midil IV and the 'wolf enemy' Prince Kaira, the Canxing royal family finally has a third extreme realm."
"He has a bad relationship with Brother Midil. When playing chess with Midil, he always likes to use the power of end to fly the other party's chess pieces in secret - but even so, he can't play the smiling Brother Midil. He often tells us that if he hadn't been born one year later than Midil, he would be the one who should be the king-crown."
"A month before his death, he received an invitation from the inheritor of the Tower of End. If he passes, he can become one of the eight extreme inheritors of the Tower of End."
"This is Bancroft and Heyman, my twin brother." Kessel looked at the two stone urns placed side by side, with complex eyes: "It is said that the careless maid mixed up the birth order, and the father couldn't stand the two doctors' argument about which baby had a bigger head, so the mother simply threw a gold coin and used the avatar of Tormond I to decide that Bancroft was the third prince and Heyman ranked fourth."
"That gold coin is now placed in my mother's stone jar with Midil's first full-score political assignment, Horace's first swordsman trophy, and the baby-wrapped cloth from Constance when I was born."
Tailes took a step closer and saw the two small stone urns clearly.
[The Third Prince, Bancroft n·e·Canxing, 624-660]
[The Fourth Prince, Heymann·e·Canxing, 624-660]
"When they were young, the endless and endless quarrels between them were simply a nightmare for our whole family - Midil joked that Horace was probably scared by the two of them to learn the arts of the Tower of End."
"Bancroft likes painting and sculpture. He donated half of the funds from the Art and Culture Department of the National Research Association. But his vanity was not bad, probably second only to his love for money. When we were young, we often said that he should marry Shukader's house. Dowry alone was enough for him to eat for the rest of his life. As a result, when he went to the Southern Islands, he proposed with sketches and really married a Miss Shukader back."
"Heyman is the most handsome among the five brothers, good at piano music, and good at writing poetry. Both civilians and noble girls like him more, and every time he goes out to the street, he will attract screams and flowers. Because of this, his father appointed him as the first leader of the Stars' mission to the Holy Tree Kingdom - but unfortunately he failed to marry an elf back - otherwise his father might have passed the throne to him to strengthen our elves' bloodline since Midil IV."
Kesel held his scepter and looked at the fire in the Immortal Light.
"We five brothers were so good-I still remember when I was a child, I was in the palace and fought with three princes who visited the Suye Dynasty. Horace was responsible for the offense, and Midil came to defend, mainly to protect me, while the twins were flanking and detours."
"But when you grow up, everything changes."
"Midil still smiled. I had the best relationship with him, but I always felt that he was getting more and more unhappy. Horace was murderous after returning from the Tower of End and always wanted to show off in front of his father. I still remembered that he took me to Hongfang Street and scolded him for five minutes at the imperial meeting. Bank didn't care much about the matter between his brothers, but he would walk around every time he saw the four of us. Heyman was close to Horace, like a little follower, but that smile really made me sick."
But Kathel's smile stagnated.
“But those aren’t important anymore.”
"Now, they're reunited here."
Kathel walked towards the last urn.
Tailes lowered his head and clenched his fists gently.
[The eldest daughter of Wang, Constance n·e·canxing, 642-660]
"This is Constance, our little sister." Kessel lowered his head, his voice heavy, as if he was reluctant to say more: "She is the only consensus among our five brothers-we are willing to sacrifice everything to protect her happiness and smile."
Tailes sighed, and he closed his eyes gently, imagining the eldest princess aunt who had withered at the age of 18.
"The Canxing family was born with the fate of the stars." Kessel said lightly.
Tailes opened his eyes, listened to Kathel's heavy breathing, thinking about the purpose of the king doing this today.
The two were in the open stone room and did not speak for a long time.
"Dong"!
The king suddenly placed the scepter heavily on the ground!
It scared Tailes.
"I don't know how much you know about us, nor do you know what kind of imagination you have about the name of Canxing." Kessel V's voice was low and stern, but without any father's feelings.
"But that's not an easy title."
"It represents glory, history, power, and more importantly, sacrifice."
Tailes was speechless, he didn't know what to say.
It seems that nothing is right.
"Are you ready?" Kathel finally turned his head, his sky blue pupils sharp and oppressive, staring straight at him.
"Beginning with the name of a glittering star, fighting for the stars, dying for the stars, and..."
Kathel looked at the six small stone urns and his eyes were gloomy:
"Born for the stars."
Tayles' breathing stagnated and then became rapid.
