Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. This is the eternal truth.
Looking at the old king with a sad expression and faltering steps, Wang Xu showed no emotion at all.
"Going to town"
Sitting in the carriage, Wang Xu closed his eyes and rested.
Everyone must be responsible for their own actions. Wang Xu can let the third prince go, or he can understand the father-son relationship of the old king, but who would pity the many personal guards who died in the battle.
No one will pity them, so Wang Xu will not pity others, because no one can replace the dead and forgive the living who killed them.
Gululu
The carriage drove into the royal capital, and at the same time, the news that the third prince was whipped to death by the king's own hands also flew into the distance as if it had wings.
Wang Xu didn't need to know what the civil and military ministers and princes and nobles thought, and he didn't want to know either.
He only knew that this matter could be put aside for the time being, provided that no one came to provoke him again.
“Go to Sherland Ford Street”
Wang Xu ordered, and then added: "The others are looking for a place to rest. The housekeeper and Green will accompany me."
The knights led by Klein turned their horses and went to look for the inn.
The old butler was responsible for driving him and Green to Sherland Ford Street, a street located in the northeast corner of the royal capital.
"Master, we are here."
After a while, Sherland Ford Street arrived.
Wang Xu got off the carriage, looked at the shops on both sides of the street, and finally focused on a flower shop.
"Butler, you stay in the car and wait for me. Green will follow me."
Wang Xu was wearing an earl's dress, holding a silver staff of civilization in his hand, and walked towards the flower shop without looking back.
Green trotted behind him. He didn't know why Wang Xu went to the flower shop. He only knew that he should find a chance to escape.
"Mrs. Emerald, this is the tulip that just arrived this morning. Look how perfect it is. It is a perfect match for you."
The flower shop is quite large, at least two hundred square meters.
In the flower shop, an old man was talking to a noble lady. Next to him, there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who seemed to be an employee of the flower shop.
"Wrap it up for me and deliver it to my house before noon. Also, next time there are rare breeds, please remember to notify me in advance." The lady hugged a puppy and left with three swaying steps.
After watching the lady leave, the girl who was helping in the flower shop took the initiative to greet Wang and Xu and said, "Sir, do you want to see the flowers?"
"No, I came to see my friends."
Wang Xu looked far away, looked at the old man holding a tulip, and said softly: "Nice to meet you, Wizard Abel."
"I'm flattered that you can come."
With a smile on his face, the old man said to the girl: "Angelina, close the store door, we are closed today."
"Okay, Grandpa Abel"
The girl named Angelina walked towards the store door and couldn't help but look back at Wang Xu and Wang Xu.
As an employee of the flower shop, Angelina has never seen Mr. Abel have any friends in the past few years. Mr. Abel is always a lonely person.
Now, a friend suddenly appeared and made Mr. Abel smile, which surprised Angelina.
“It’s a great place to find tranquility in the midst of the hustle and bustle.”
Wang Xu looked at the flower shop, sitting on a chair and laughing with Wizard Abel.
Wizard Abel looks very old, with white eyebrows, white beard, and white hair. Even his eyes are full of turbidity. This is a behavior that a shrewd wizard should not have.
It can be seen from here that Wizard Abel is in very poor condition and he does not have much time left.
"Over the past few hundred years, I have traveled to many places and had many identities. This is the one I am most satisfied with."
Wizard Abel pointed at the flowers in the store and said softly: "Smell it, it smells so fresh. It's the smell of nature and life. It's really nostalgic."
After hearing the conversation between Wang Xu and Wang Xu, Green, who was standing next to him, had doubts in his heart.
Why did the Earl call the old man in front of him Wizard Abel? Is wizard an honorific here?
Also, Wizard Abel said it was hundreds of years ago. Is this bragging, or has he really lived for that long?
"Life will eventually end, even if we are wizards, we are no exception. There is nothing to regret. Also, may I ask, do you have any other plans?"
Wang Xu did not say his last words, because according to his estimation, Wizard Abel still had a few days to live, and he had not yet completely exhausted his life.
Wizard Abel shook his head slightly. Hundreds of years ago, he chose to become the guardian of the knight world. When he came here to wait for death, he did everything he wanted to do.
Now, he is just an ordinary old man who is spending his old age and is about to embrace death.
"By the way, I remembered that I haven't chosen a cemetery for myself yet." Wizard Abel seemed to suddenly think of something, and clapped his hands and said: "I want to bury myself in a sea of flowers, and let the flowers and bees accompany me. Also.
Yes, and this flower shop, I plan to give it to Angelina, and I want to thank her for her company over the years. Angelina, Angelina, come here quickly, I have something to say to you."
At the call of Wizard Abel, Angelina ran over while closing the door.
When she heard that Wizard Abel was going to give her the flower shop, Angelina felt like she had won five million.
How many times had she imagined that this flower shop was hers, but she was just a Cinderella and would never become Snow White.
Now, when she suddenly heard that Mr. Abel wanted to give the flower shop to her after her death, she simply couldn't describe her feelings.
"Mr. Abel, I, I can't take it. This flower shop is your hard work. You should leave it to your descendants, and I am just your shop assistant." Although Angelina was very happy, she was a little a little bit happy after that.
Those with low self-esteem dare not accept it.
Wang Xu looked at the girl with a smile, waved his hand and said: "For Wizard Abel, a flower shop is nothing. As for the descendants of Wizard Abel, you don't need to worry about them. Wizard Abel has already made arrangements.
"
Compared to Angelina, who looked confused, Green, who was standing behind Wang Xu, narrowed his eyes slightly.
This is the first time he has heard the name wizard. The word wizard appears again and again. The more times it appears, the more Green understands that this word is not as simple as just saying it.
Also, during the conversation between the Count and Wizard Abel, he once said that we are wizards. Does this prove that the Count is also a wizard, or a member of this organization that calls itself wizards?
Is wizard an honorific or a formal title, just like the title knight.
After much deliberation, Green thinks it should be the latter.
"Who is this little guy? He seems to be very interested in us." After noticing the change in Green's eyes, Wizard Abel asked Wang Xu.
Wang Xu didn't mean to hide it, and said with a smile: "His name is Green, and I plan to make him my follower. Despite his ordinary appearance, he is actually a good young man."
"real?"
Wizard Abel doesn't really believe it. You have to know that the world of knights is just a small world.
One of the best talents in the entire knight world is currently in the Blackmang Wizard Academy and has just become a second-level wizard.
Wizard Abel didn't really believe that there were good seeds in such a small place.
"What a lucky young man."
Although Wizard Abel is about to die, it does not mean that his thinking has become rigid. He looked at Green who looked confused and said softly: "You have no idea how noble this person is in front of you. Even I
, if you are lucky enough to be a follower of His Highness, it will be a very honorable thing."
Wizard Abel is only a second-level wizard. If there are thousands of second-level wizards like him in the academy, he is just an inconspicuous one among the many mentors.
Let alone him, even a third-level wizard would have a hard time becoming a follower of Wang Xu.
After all, this is a hugely profitable investment. As long as Wang Xuri can become a fourth-level wizard, all the investment will be worthwhile.
"Mr. Abel, what is a wizard?"
Green only knew that Wang Xu was very mysterious and had the title of earl, but other than that he didn't know anything else.
"Wizard" Wizard Abel laughed dumbly, shook his head and said: "If we talk about wizards, then we must first talk about your world. This world is called the Knight World, and it is just one of the many planes occupied by wizards. And I am the black one.
A lineage of wizards, one of the tens of thousands of second-level tutors under the jurisdiction of Blackmang Wizard Academy.
Don't underestimate my identity. In the academy, I am just one of tens of thousands of second-level instructors. Here, I am the guardian of your plane. I can make a kingdom rise with just one word. I can make a kingdom rise with just one word.
The kingdom fell.
For example, you can think of me as a viscount, and the world of knights is my territory. The status of a person like me in the Blackmang Wizarding Academy is just like the viscount in the Iron Cross Kingdom.
Big, even small. And the person in front of you, in our Blackmang Wizarding Academy, is equivalent to the royal heir of the Iron Cross Kingdom. You should understand what I say?"
Having said this, Green somewhat understood.
It turns out that the world he traveled through was just a small world kept captive by others.
The inconspicuous old man in front of me is the lord of this small world. They come from an organization called wizards and own a large number of small worlds.
In his eyes, the extremely mysterious Earl is the heir to a huge force in the wizarding world, just like the princes of the big families in the white dragon fish suit.
"No, I'm a time traveler. I should be the protagonist, right? Why am I here to become someone else's follower? It shouldn't be that I hit it off with the big shot. The big shot thinks I'm born extraordinary, and then everyone sits together,
Do you want to eat fruit?"
Green felt like he was in mourning. The more he knew, the more he felt that he was going to be in trouble.
No wonder this mysterious Earl has the talent to blind people. He has a backing.
I am hanging around in front of such people every day. It is really stupid for his father to open the door for stupid people. He is extremely stupid.
