Chapter Ten Apocalypse of the Stars

Early the next morning, everyone in the chorus followed Tour to the Earl's Mansion. They saw a dozen large caravans parked in the yard, almost all of them full. Only the three cars at the back were empty.

People from the town ride on it.

Tour stepped forward to greet Baron Dudek, who was supervising the case. Wei En stood aside and said to Vincent: "Looking at this posture, the count has spent a lot of money."

Although Vincent was still a little weak, he was able to walk on the ground. Hearing this, he said: "It is better to please the boss's wife than to please the boss himself. This is an eternal law."

Wei En grinned and suddenly said: "Hey, what is that?"

There were three carriages parked beside the motorcade, each of which was more than twice the size of the carriage in Earl's Palace. There were four tall horses in front of them, and the sealed carriages were made of fine nanmu, which looked extraordinary.

Vincent glanced at it, his face darkened, and he said: "It's the carriage of the Xiao family in the capital."

"Wangdu Xiao family? How do you know?"

"There is no other company in the world that can engrave the symbol of two points of sea water and a burning torch on the side of the carriage."

Wei En nodded and said, "You can know your identity by looking at the signs. Isn't the Xiao family in the royal capital very powerful?"

Vincent asked curiously: "You don't even know about the Xiao family?"

"It was mentioned a few times in the book, but there was no detailed introduction." Wei En shrugged helplessly.

Vincent stared at Wei En and said after a while: "You don't even know about the first family in the kingdom, so you are considered ignorant to a certain extent. I really don't understand how you came up with the choir and your weird instrument."

Wei En's face straightened and he said: "Friend, just because you haven't married a wife, it doesn't mean you can't have children. Please don't confuse two unrelated things."

Vincent said: "Your theory is pure fallacy."

"Well, well. Then please ask Lord Vincent to teach the villain and solve his doubts."

Vincent said: "The Xiao family is originally a business family. It is very famous in the mainland and is one of the most wealthy families. In the past, when John the Great of Canterbury fought in the north and south during the Holy War, the Xiao family followed him and made great achievements.

He provided money and provided a lot of support. He was the first helping hand around the emperor, especially in the battle of Twilight Castle in the Central Basin. Without the desperate help of the Xiao family, I am afraid that the emperor would have died on the battlefield. After the establishment of the Kant Kingdom, Prince Xiao Iaguang

Two of them were born, and there were countless other titles, making them the top aristocratic family in the Kingdom of Kant."

"So that's it, you are really powerful." Wei En stuck out his tongue.

"After the death of the Great Emperor, Alfred, the son of Canterbury, was frail and sickly since he was a child. He died a few years after taking the throne, leaving only two daughters and a young prince, the current king, John III, who was only thirteen years old.

.”

"The king is young, who will handle the political affairs?"

"Currently, Queen Mary, the mother of John III, is the full regent." After a pause, Vincent continued; "This Queen Mary is the queen of the Xiao family."

Wei En whispered: "Then the Xiao family has the final say over the entire kingdom?"

"Otherwise, how can we assume the reputation of being the first aristocratic family in the kingdom?" Vincent said lightly: "However, Queen Mary is very smart and powerful. She is not an ordinary aristocratic woman. She has just recovered from the war in the past ten years as regent.

The Kant Kingdom is governed in an orderly manner, which is very remarkable. As for the kingdom, who has the final say? As long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment and live a good life, how many people will care who is in charge?"

Wei En clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, the only ones who are really keen on fighting for power are the nobles. Brother, your knowledge is admirable."

While the two were talking, Ruola came over and said, "Weien, my father asked you to come over. The Baron wants to say a few words to you." After that, he turned around and left.

Seeing Ruola's attitude, Vincent raised his thick eyebrows and felt a little surprised. Wei En said hurriedly: "I'll go over there first. Don't ask, I didn't recruit her. She might have taken the wrong medicine." He walked away.

.

Vincent smiled and stopped talking.

Wei En walked up to Baron Dudek and saluted: "Good morning, Mr. Baron."

Dudek nodded with a smile: "Hello, Wei En, your performance last night won a lot of applause. The earl was very happy. Young man, you did a good job!"

Wei En said: "Thank you, Lord Baron, for your support. Without your help, the chorus would have no chance."

"Haha." Dudek looked a little more cheerful: "By the way, this is the Traore Knight. He will be responsible for the march and security of this convoy. If your chorus has any trouble on the way, you can ask

Mr. Traore, help." He pointed to a middle-aged man next to him who was wearing armor and holding a white steel helmet under his arm.

Wei En said: "Hello, Mr. Traore, I'm going to cause trouble for you on the way." He extended his right hand.

Traore nodded slightly, seemingly not seeing Wei En's movements, and muttered: "Hello."

Wei En retracted his hand in embarrassment, and Dudek said: "You two are going to the royal capital this time with an important mission. We hope to cooperate sincerely and complete each other's responsibilities together."

"There is one more thing that your lordship has specially told you. Please pay attention to it. The distinguished guest accompanying the convoy back to Fort Rio this time is an extremely important noble lady in the kingdom. You must not make any mistakes in escorting and service along the way.

, but don’t bother me when you have free time, do you know that?”

Wei En and Traore bowed in response. They both knew the importance of the Xiao family in the kingdom, so they naturally knew what to do and what not to do.

After Dudek gave some more instructions, Wei En said goodbye and returned to the chorus. Tur found him again: "Wei En, let me show you something."

Wei En followed Tuer to a secluded place, looked at his mysterious expression, frowned and said, "Uncle, what are you trying to do?"

Tuer laughed and said with a smile: "Look at this." He took out a small square box from his arms.

Wei En took the box in confusion, opened it, and found a ring with a simple style and fine carvings inside. He took out the ring, looked at it in the sun, and asked, "What's so special about this ring?"

"

Tour said seriously: "This ring is called Star Revelation, and it is an ancient treasure passed down from generation to generation in our family."

Wei En smiled: "Judging from the pattern and texture of the ring, it is indeed an item from a long time ago, but it has a dull luster and no gemstones in it. I really don't see anything precious about it."

Tu'er was not angry, and said calmly after hearing this: "How can a real treasure reveal its rarity to others easily? The Star Revelation is still sleeping at the moment. Once it recognizes you as its master and wakes up one day, you will know it."

It’s amazing.”

Wei En was startled and said hurriedly: "Don't be kidding me. This ring is so precious. How could you give it to me as an outsider?"

Tour stared at Wei'en for a while and then said: "Wei'en, you have lived in the small town of Gaia for so long. This trip to Rio Fort is also for the future of hundreds of families in the town. How can a so-called outsider do it?"

Comparable? Not to mention that lifting the curse of our family’s destiny is a thankless task. Compared with your kindness, no matter how precious this ring is, it is nothing.”

Wei En looked into Tu'er's eyes, considered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Okay. Since uncle said so, I will accept it first, and then I will return it to you when the matter is completed."

Tuer nodded in agreement. Wei En said again: "By the way, last night you said that the way to lift the curse is to complete three things for God. This sounds quite mysterious to me. Do you have any tips?"

Tur pondered: "Although I don't know the specific contents of these three things, if the Star Revelation can wake up within a year, you will naturally understand."

"Oh, that's it." Wei En suddenly realized that there is no such thing as a free lunch. It turned out that there was another reason why Tuer gave him the family heirloom.

Old Tur understood what Wei En meant, and his face turned red for a rare moment.

Wei En said calmly, "Uncle Tour, if this ring does not wake up, it proves that I am not the prophet you said, and it is not my fault."

Tu'er was stunned for a while and said slowly: "We'll talk about what happens next. Let's see as we walk."

Wei'en looked at Tu'er's back and sighed in his heart. Most of the old people around his age in the world are having fun with their grandchildren and enjoying their old age, but he has to work hard for his own people. This may be the so-called

Responsibility.

Following an order from Knight Lautray, the sound of horse hooves and wheels sounded one after another, and amid Tour's silent prayers, the convoy heading to Fort Rio to celebrate his birthday finally set off.

Yorkshire has been devastated by wars, and the roads were severely damaged in the past wars. In addition, it was midsummer, and the horses' physical strength was exhausted very quickly. Although the convoy took the official road this time, the traveling speed was only unsatisfactory.

Although Wei En was in good health, he had obviously never experienced such a long journey. When the day finally ended and the team settled in Hill City, more than a hundred miles away from Yorkshire, he felt as if his whole body had been shaken to pieces.

After dinner and arranging everyone's accommodation, Wei En returned to the room and fell down on the bed. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he groaned in pain. The bed board was very hard, and he lay down suddenly and suddenly started to cough.

His waist and hips were sore.

Vincent was sitting on another bed. He was assigned to the same room as Wei En, and Fanny was with Carmen. He heard the sound and laughed: "What? You can't stand it anymore?"

Wei En buried his head in the pillow and said vaguely: "This damn carriage can kill me."

Vincent smiled and said: "You are still riding in a car. If you are asked to ride a horse, what will you do?"

"I don't know how to ride a horse, but I can't handle it very well." Wei En muttered dissatisfiedly.

Vincent didn't hear clearly, so he ignored him, and the room fell silent.

After a while, Wei En suddenly raised his head and said, "Let me ask you something."

Vincent was wiping his sword and said: "You say."

"Do you know what Star Revelation is?"

Vincent was startled, then slowly put the sword into its scabbard and said calmly: "How do you know about the Apocalypse of the Stars?"

"Listen to what Uncle Tuer said. Judging from your expression, you must know something about it?"

Vincent nodded slowly and said, "I know a little bit."

"Then tell me." Wei En wanted to sit up from the bed, but suddenly he let out an "ouch" and fell back to his original position.

"The Apocalypse of the Stars." Vincent stared at the candlelight on the bedside and said after a long time: "It is one of the three treasures of the royal family."

"When the royal family was prosperous in the past, they had three of the most exquisite and beautiful cities in the world, Pompeii, Teoti and Montella. They represented the royal family's city of sky, city of earth and city of believers respectively. Among them

The city in the sky was built by people who worshiped the Sunbird clan, the city on earth belonged to the Serpent clan, and Montra was the holy city of all royal clans. According to legend, these three cities all possess a magical treasure as the centerpiece of the city.

vessel, and the Apocalypse of the Stars comes from the ancient city of Pompeii.”

"The royal family has declined, so do these three cities still exist today?" Wei En asked.

Vincent shook his head and said: "Teoti and Pompeii have long been annihilated in the Mistry Mountains, and the city of believers was destroyed in the war. However, the temple of Montra was preserved by the church after the war and has been restored several times.

, became today’s Twilight Castle.”

Wei En turned over to make himself lie down more comfortably: "Since this Star Revelation is Pompeii's tool to control the city, what's so magical about it?"

"It is said that those who possess the Star Revelation can decipher the soul code of all things and become a great mage who can turn decay into magic."

"Deciphering the soul code of all things? What does this mean?" Wei En frowned.

"I only know so much about the Apocalypse of the Stars." Vincent sighed.

Wei En suddenly smiled strangely, raised his hand and threw something to Vincent. Vincent took it and opened it, and saw that it was the ancient ring.

"This is the Star Revelation." Wei En said sternly: "If Old Tur didn't lie to me."

Vincent was startled, held the ring under the light, studied it carefully for a long time, and then sighed: "Brother, is this the Apocalypse of the Stars?"

Wei En didn't answer. Vincent asked again, but he still didn't answer. Vincent looked up and saw Mr. Wei En leaning on the pillow, his nose snoring slightly. In the candlelight, there was a streak of silver saliva on his lips.

The horn flashes and flows slowly towards the pillow.

When Vincent saw this scene, he was angry and laughed at the same time: "This guy is really crazy to hand over such a precious treasure to others casually, and then sleep as soon as he wants."
