232, Dongba's journey 32
The thing I cured the old king's illness spread throughout the palace. Princess Jasmine was the first to arrive here. He looked at the twisted black shadow on the portrait, with a shock on his face and his expressionless expression. He pointed at the black shadow, and the capital was coming. Are you saying that black shadow is the culprit who tortured my father for so many years?
I nodded and said, yes, I was so angry that I gritted my teeth and shouted loudly, "I want to burn this painting, can I?"
I shrugged and said: Of course, this painting belongs to His Majesty the King, and it belongs to your own family. You can handle it at will. You can say whatever you want. The physical civil servant said on his forehead, I am not saying this, I am saying that
If this painting is burned, will the black and black devil inside die?
He also said that he would be released. I looked at the black shadow and said that he could no longer be released. This black devil has become one with this painting.
If you say this, it is equivalent to burning the darkness and burning it. She can't escape, and she can only disappear in the end. Princess Jasmine laughed and said very well. This is the result. When the person comes, take out the flower for me immediately, put it on the fire to burn it, and burn the black devil to death. The old king patted Jasmine on the shoulder and said, "Don't be impulsive, let me take a closer look at this painting."
To be honest, my husband still liked this sentence very much, and it just burned it, he felt very sorry.
But he also knew that if he didn't talk about this painting, the devil in this painting would always be his heart disease. He might have escaped and ran to him again. He could not bear such a thing.
So he spent so much money and looked at it carefully for a long time.
Then he once said to the black devil, you bastard torture me for so long, and almost ruined my family. This time, I want to wipe you out and completely disappear from this world forever. The black devil in the painting seemed to understand the old king's words, and his body twisted even more crazily, as if he wanted to go out from here.
But it was futile. My words had completely solidified him in it. He was integrated with the painting and could no longer escape. The old king looked at the shadows twisting and twisting, and felt very relieved. He shouted, carrying the painting out and burning it on the fire. Soon, a group of soldiers rushed in and took the painting off the wall.
Then moved to the back garden, where a fire had been set up in the back garden, and there was no harvest yet.
But there were already a lot of wood below, and it was poured on oil. This was the plan and was placed directly on the fire. Someone communicated at the meeting. The night on the picture twisted more intensely. Even people could ask for help. Princess Jasmine grabbed a torch next to her and threw it directly on the painting. Then she heard a loud bang. The whole portrait burned and screams came out of the painting. It was creepy. Although she didn't expect that this black devil could still scream. It was really unheard of.
The painting I looked at said to everyone, "Let's retreat, don't get too close to him, just to prevent the black devil from wearing it on others. After hearing my warning, everyone regretted it wildly, far away, for fear that the black devil would be stuck to it,
Then gradually thick smoke quickly surrounded the portrait. The entire portrait gradually dissipated with the flames, and soon turned into a pile of black and gray. A terrifying ghost appeared in the air. The human face was twisted and deformed, screaming in pain. The last gust of wind blew, the black smoke was blown away, and the ghost disappeared. This black devil, who had tortured the old king and the bad guy for more than ten years, completely disappeared.
Everyone was surprised. He did not expect that such a terrifying devil, such a difficult devil, a guy who could not subdue many people, would be easily destroyed by me. Just a fire, a brush, and a canvas could destroy him. It was really admirable. The old king ordered people to collect the scandals immediately.
Then he scattered it into the moat, he turned around and looked at me, and said with a smile, "Young fossil, I'm very grateful for saving me,
If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd die soon after I went there. Now I'm going to give you a reward. What do you want?
I can give you whatever you want. The old king's words are very sincere. He is telling the truth. Now as long as I make any request, he will probably agree with it except for his throne and his territory. I thought about it and said, I want to have a residence in Twilight City. In the future, when I come back from my trip, I want to live here. I hope there is a residence for me. Lao Guangtian was stunned for a moment and laughed and said, your request is too simple.
It's just a house. I have it here, you have everything you want.
After saying that, he ordered and said, in Twilight City, he looked for the best house for this little painter. By the way, he patted his forehead and said, "This is how you deal with it. Isn't the old earl's house empty?"
Anyway, they have left, let this little brother live there, and give all the property and property of the old Count to you last time, and last time I will give you the title of the earl. Everyone was shocked after hearing this, but they did not expect that I was actually named the earl by the king.
You should know that this is the acupoint second only to Huangdi, and its status is very high. I have obtained all the identity and status that many people have always dreamed of.
And I was still confused. I didn't even have the idea of the position of the Marquis and Earl Count, and asked in confusion.
But what are the benefits?
What is it for?
Princess Jasmine next to him burst into laughter and said, "You idiot, don't even know this. I think the status is very noble. Not only do I enjoy privileges in Twilight City, but I can also get a lot of income and offerings from the country every year. I remember, when the old earl was there, our Twilight City would allocate him 10,000 gold coins every year. As a living expenses, I think these 10,000 gold coins should be enough for you to live for a long time. If I am also a princess, I was shocked. 10,000 gold coins.
You know, I am a painter in the palace now, and I only have one gold coin a month, and I have 10,000 gold coins a year. Then I have to work for 10,000 months. How many years will it take?
I think status and identity are indeed very terrifying. No wonder so many people want to climb to such a high position and enjoy wealth. The old king said with a smile. Don’t be stressed in your heart, just enjoy it, you don’t need to take any responsibility.
The old king's words are already very clear. It only requires me to enjoy the treatment of the count and lose weight. The various benefits and wealth that should be enjoyed are enough. There is no need to contribute to the country like other ministers or take any responsibility. To put it bluntly, I just enjoy the title of an earl, this
But I'm very happy about a good thing.
So I accepted the king's title and became the Count of Twilight. On that day, the old king made the decision and announced the decision. The people in the entire market heard the news, and I also became the Count of the same place when I was obedient.
However, I still stayed in the palace and painted a special portrait of Huangdi and the princess.
But I no longer painted portraits of others, and I was not in the residence or the workers' dormitory. Instead, I moved to my own Earl's Mansion. The clothes I wore were also replaced with new clothes, no longer the original coarse linen robe, but with exquisite silk and satin.
Actually, I don't like this outfit. They look very nice and luxurious, giving people a grand feeling.
However, I don't like this kind of thing at all. What I prefer is the coarse linen I used to wear. Such clothes made me feel no pressure and made me know that I am still a living ordinary person, and this is the Earl's clothes. Although they are very noble, they look very, very awesome.
But I didn't like it at all. I felt like I had become another person, a person who was tall and unsteady in life. This was the Count's clothes. I took them off after only one day. I changed into my clothes again. I looked at each other.
The king and the princess looked at me and didn't say anything, but Princess Jasmine's eyes changed a little. In the past, he just looked disgusted with me. Now, after seeing me, there was a special smell in her eyes, as if she was saying, "You are very strange, different from others." I didn't think about this, because I don't have any feelings for people like him."
However, Princess Jasmine seems to like being with me very much and often calls me to his palace.
Then, I had to draw for the painting day and night. Later, I was annoyed by the painting, so I made an excuse not to go. It was okay once or twice. After that, the princess discovered my intention and sent someone to come here specially. She also set up a special lounge next to her bedroom, so that I could stay there, and be there at any time.
I was speechless about such a thing. I don’t know what this willful princess wants to do. Did he say that he had any intention to me?
I was a little scared about this. One night, I was about to go to bed when a knock on the door suddenly came. I stood up in a daze. When I opened the door, I saw that it was His Royal Highness. Princess Jasmine was wearing a nightgown and had some abnormal skills on her face. He said to me, don’t sleep first, come to my room, I have something to tell you, I am very surprised, why are you looking for me for so late?
If you have anything to do, you must say it now. Can’t you say it again after dawn on the second day?
But I cannot disobey the princess' orders,
So I stood up, followed him out of the ward, and came to his bedroom with him, and found that there was no one else in the princess' room except himself, and this phenomenon was a bit abnormal.
You know, the princess's offer has always been right, there are some women
But I needed many servants to serve him, serve tea, pour water, make beds, clean the house, and clean the sanitation. Even if I go to bed at night, I would leave one servant who helped him guard him. Now there is no friend left, which makes me feel very strange. The princess walked into the bedroom and pulled me in.
Then he closed the door and he said to me. Before, I had been not very good at you, and even spoke ill of you. Today I want to apologize to you, which made me confused. I said, Princess, you don’t need to apologize to me. Before, there were some misunderstandings between us.
So I can understand what you say, there is no need for you to do this. Your Highness waved his hand and said, "I must apologize to you, because I will leave here soon, leave this kingdom forever, and will never come back again," he said.
So I learned everything in my heart. I don’t want to leave here with my worries. I’m very surprised. Don’t ask, Princess, what do you mean?
Where are you going?
Princess Molly was silent for a while and said, "Do you still remember what I told you that I had a marriage contract with the Elf King. At that time, he promised that when I was 20 years old, I would go to Go. I also agreed. Now, I will soon become 20 years old. Tomorrow is my 20th birthday. At that time, I will leave the kingdom and go to the forest of desires where the Elf tribe is located. Marry the Elf King and become his 307th concubine. I will never return to this country again and return to Twilight City.
So I hope to understand one of my wishes before leaving and apologize to you. I remained silent after hearing this. I heard about the princess at that time, but I didn’t expect that the princess would be 20 years old so soon. This made me feel a faint sadness because he was going to leave here, leave the country where he lives, and his father. I think he must be very sad.
I have nothing to comfort myself about this,
After all, I am not him, and I can't empathize with it. I just know that this Princess Jasmine has a fragile heart under her strong appearance. He is actually very fragile.
After all, she is a woman who will soon marry a faraway place. From then on, she will never see her hometown, her own country, her own father, who lives alone in an unknown country, and she will marry an old elf who is aged 33 years older than her. The depression in her heart is imaginable. I sighed and said, Princess Jasmine, don’t be too embarrassed. I think one day you will return to this country to the elf king, and will not trap you so easily. No matter what, he wants you to come back to visit relatives. This is human nature. You can’t let you go for the rest of your life and not come back to see your father. So what’s the difference between this and house arrest?
Princess Jasmine was silent. He said, "You don't understand the customs of meeting human race, that is, people who have been married to the elves can never leave the elves."
Otherwise, I would have to accept the punishment. I asked curiously, what punishment?
