Chapter 224 Blessings are like curses
The plot of [Grede Green] is solid, with each chapter introducing the world view, a journey of wonders, and various sweet and interactive plots.
Time was running out, so Shi Cunjin skipped all the chapters and only read the two chapters about Evans Eamon.
The contents of these two chapters are very important.
Before he opened the original novel, he had never thought that the original novel would have a scene in which one of the protagonists eloped with a supporting character, and that the supporting character would witness the protagonist showing signs of suspected death. According to the supporting character's personality, Evans would definitely kidnap Valentine. Shi Cunjin must know what kind of severe punishment Cat's Eye would impose on Evans after he committed a crime punishable by death in the original novel, and how the Legion Bug Clan would deal with it.
This is crucial to his subsequent conference negotiations.
Shi Cunjin frowned and read.
The new chapter 130 follows the ending chapter 129 of [Evans Eamon]. The opening plot of Chapter 130 is that Grid Green is suddenly appointed by Cat's Eyes and officially becomes the resident ceremonial officer beside His Excellency Saint Valentine.
【…
January 2003.
Grid Green suddenly received an invitation letter from the Cat's Eye Court, inviting him to work in the French Ring Cat's Eye.
…
…
After Grid went through a series of reviews and got the official badge of the Administration Office, he was greeted not by the Administration Office and the Guardian Guard under the name of Valentine, but by the personal guard of Chief of Ceremonies Berlin.
Grid was a little surprised, but quickly accepted it.
Master of Ceremonies Berlin took care of Valentine until he grew up. Now His Excellency Valentine has been ordained a saint. Master of Ceremonies Berlin also holds great power in the Cat's Eye Council, so it is normal for him to personally review the waiters who go to work for His Excellency.
…
…
"A week ago, an unfortunate incident occurred in Lou Palace."
Grid knelt on one knee and listened. The voice of the chief etiquette officer Berlin was gentle and sad, and the tone was very elegant. But Grid felt that every word he said was like a heavy piece of ice, pressing coldly on his shoulders.
"A major general from the First Army raided the palace at night and attempted to kidnap His Excellency."
Grid knew who it was instantly.
He also traveled with Valentine, who was accompanied by three familiar Legion Zergs.
The only one who was promoted to major general this month was the head of the Emon family!
But wasn't the head of House Amon a subordinate of Admiral Cash? Did he attack the commander's engagement? The news was so outrageous that Grid almost looked up at the master of etiquette.
"There have been many wars this year, and Admiral Kashi is often stationed on the front lines. In order to take care of His Excellency's mood, he has left a few trusted men on standby to guard His Excellency at all times and respond to any requests from His Excellency."
"Admiral Kashi's generosity and thoughtfulness have led to greed." Chief of Ceremonies Belin paused appropriately, "You must be polite, Green. Your family is not as resilient as Amon's."
Grid understood the hidden message and was shocked: ... working under the blond Grim Reaper, not only did he have an affair with his boss's fiancée, but he also tried to elope? How many...how many lives?
Grid was too shocked to respond.
"Green?"
"Yes. I understand. I know. I will definitely abide by the ethics and have no second thoughts," Grid said immediately.
Greed heard the Master of Ceremonies chuckle, "It only takes two seconds for a promise and a guarantee to be made. How many words do we say every day?"
Grid's neck broke out in a cold sweat. "I will never cross the line. Your Excellency has always regarded me as a friend who is like an elder brother. We have never crossed the line in intimacy."
"I really want to believe you." Chief of Ceremonies Belin chuckled. "I have reserved a seat for you on the flight to Arduin. I have already coordinated with the army stationed there. Come back to see me after your visit. I hope your tone of promise will be as firm as it is now."
Arduin is the Prisoner Star main star of the West District, not far from the Cat's Eye main star. Grid landed in the Arduin Customs District 90 minutes later.
Along the way, Grid was full of speculations: Admiral Amon made such a mistake, but he was not sentenced to death because of his family name. Two months ago, Wanderer General Coles Amon died in battle, and another month later, First Army General Cindy Amon was seriously injured in a huge beast attack on the East District. His physical signs directly entered the middle stage of decline, and he is still recuperating in the Medical City. 】
"System." Shi Cunjin said.
"Understood." The system reported the calculated data: "In January 2003, Green was appointed as a ceremonial officer. Going back in time, the commander of the Wanderer was killed in action in November 2002. In December 2002, the commander of the First Army was seriously injured and weakened. A567 was awarded the rank of general in January 2003."
"According to our current accelerated time, we are in October 2000. The chief of the Wanderer will die next month, and the chief of the First Army will be seriously injured in December." said the system.
Shi Cunjin's heart sank and he continued reading.
【…
Over the years, every Amon who succeeded to the throne as the head of the family had a military rank ranging from admiral to Wanderer and Chief of the First Army.
But the current head of the Emon family only holds the rank of major general, and he made a huge mistake, offending the only Saint of this century. There are no powerful elders behind him, and he should have been beheaded long ago. According to the words of the chief of ceremonies, Belin, Evans Emon seems to be still alive?
Grid paused, suddenly thinking of the blond Grim Reaper who was betrayed by his subordinates.
As a family of military media, Grid naturally has the means to dig up some lost records.
"I never thought..." Grid was surprised. Kashi was discovered by the Wanderer General when he was 12 years old, and was taken care of for four years. He joined the army at the age of 16, and then rose through the ranks. With his extremely terrifying combat talent and hard work, Kashi never needed help or care from anyone after he reached adulthood.
There is no doubt that her star performance is as high as her base, and no one can get close to the adult Anushka Kaush.
The only close social relationship in Anushka Kashi's life is the Wanderer Chief. Is it because he guaranteed Evans Eamon's survival? But because the crime is so serious, he can only be temporarily detained in the West Prisoner Star for custodial protection?
Since the First Army has already imprisoned and protected Evans Eamon, he will definitely not be sentenced to a severe punishment. What is the purpose of Chief Ceremonial Officer Berlin asking him to come here?
…
…
Grid's confusion did not last long, and he soon ran out of ideas to think about.
He was shocked and disgusted by the scene inside the protected area.
...blood. In the transparent prison made of soft silicone protective glass, all four walls were splashed with black blood, as if more than a dozen Zerg had been chopped to pieces here, and the black blood washed the ground and condensed into small puddles... There were also some broken canine teeth and fragments of scales on the floor.
In a pool of black and red blood and minced meat, there was a beast-like monster whose mimicry had failed. It curled up in the black blood in the corner and fell asleep, with its multi-jointed arms, which could not hide its armed muscles, wrapped around its body. There were many deep cuts on those arms that were so deep that bones could be seen. The cuts were mottled and crisscrossed, some shaped like x, some like v, and some like strange letters connected together.
The wing bones on the mimic monster's back were broken into uneven lengths, and the scales fell into the black blood pool like shells on the beach, flashing beautiful colorful peacock halos under the prison lights.
Grid suddenly covered his mouth and suppressed the belching sound. Then he asked the purple-haired female soldier beside him in an unsteady voice, "...it...is he Mr. Eamon?"
Before the purple-haired female soldier could say anything, the beast-like creature in the glass prison was awakened. It first stretched out its broken wings, then suddenly turned its head 180 degrees to look in the direction of Grid outside the prison glass.
The next second, the beast-like creature, covered in black bloody knife wounds, flashed and crashed into the protective glass, coming face to face with Grid at close range.
The soft silicon glass was hit into an arc by it. It stuck to the glass, sniffed with the tip of its nose, and listened with its ear tilted to the side. The next moment, it suddenly stretched out its distorted claws to attack the glass, and let out a sharp and terrifying laugh and scream.
Grid was so scared that he vomited.
…
…
Grid wakes up in the infirmary.
"What happened then?" Grid asked the purple-haired female soldier who escorted him out of the protection zone.
The purple-haired military girl said coldly, "No comment."
On the way out, Grid was worried. It was not until he arrived at the customs office that he could not help but ask the adjutant in front of the team, "Mr. Amon... can he successfully disguise himself as a human in the future? If not, are you going to keep him locked up like this? Let him live in that form...?"
The purple-haired adjutant stopped and signaled the guards beside him to stand at attention. He turned his head to look at Grid, his eyes swept over the cat-eye uniform Grid had already changed into, and suddenly said, "I once accompanied the commander to the Lou Palace and saw you beside His Excellency. You were His Excellency's friend at that time."
He approached Grid, keeping an arm's length away, and gave a cold smile, "Always locked? No, that's protection."
"Our commander promised an elder that he would protect Amon and keep his only child safe and alive."
"Admiral Kashi has forbidden other insects from entering this protected area, but you will soon become His Excellency's personal ceremonial officer. After comprehensive consideration, I have asked the Admiral to approve Cat's Eye's visit application." The purple-haired adjutant raised his hand and lightly touched the spot on Grid's left chest with his black glove. That was where the nameplate on Cat's Eye's uniform was hung. "I hope you can do your job well and don't create a situation that requires me to deal with."
The purple-haired adjutant stared at Grid and smiled: "Work hard and retire safely. I sincerely wish you a long life."
Grid was cold from head to toe. He understood why the etiquette chief, Berlin, had asked him to come for a tour.
Don't really fall in love with His Majesty. Once something happens that brings shame to His Majesty's reputation, you will be unable to live or die.
Kashi's protection... Is Amon still alive like that?
Grid was very silent all the way back, preparing for the upcoming meeting with the chief of etiquette with a frightened oath in his mind.
But something unexpected happened.
As soon as Grid landed, he was captured by another team of Cat-Eye Guardians and escorted to a medical area in a sky city.
Grid was confused and terrified. When the hood was taken off, he leaned back suddenly and his scalp almost exploded with fright.
How could Evans Eamon stand in front of him? !
Then, Grid reacted and felt a pain in his heart.
A black-haired male insect who looked like a young version of Evans Eamon stood in front of him expressionlessly, his orange-gold eyes filled with cold anger.
"Is it him? Cash agreed to let him enter the Arduin protection zone?"
"Yes, Lord Klein," said the Guardian standing next to Grid, "We intercepted him just in time before the Master of Ceremonies' team."
"Send him to the electric chair and find out what fragments of Ivar's memory are." Klein Gary said grimly.
Evans Eamon is considered offline in this chapter, so a new and related gentleman appears at this time?
Shi Cunjin had a bad feeling. He remembered a chapter that had been published before. In the original novel, Valentine had said in a daze: Many A-level gentlemen left this year.
Shi Cunjin immediately accelerated the page turning and jumped to the next node.
【…
"When he first hatched, he was much bigger than the other cubs, chubby and particularly ugly, and his human form was poorly developed. I couldn't believe he was the firstborn of Coles and me."
"I have been raising him with great care. He was only able to mimic the full form at the age of 10... I also did not breed offspring with other female insects. My second and third children will definitely grow more fully than him... As the eldest brother, he is only of average species. He will have a harder time in the family... I spoiled him... Maybe I shouldn't have done this back then..."
“…”
“…”
Grid simply admired himself.
Today is the first day of work, right? Is the first day of work so exciting?
The A-level minister who kidnapped him was lying on top of him, mumbling a lot of words, and seemed to have an emotional breakdown. Grid pieced together the minister's nonsense and barely understood what happened a week ago.
Evans Amon kidnapped His Majesty from the Lou Palace, saying that His Majesty had made a lifelong promise with him to leave Cat's Eyes together. Leaving Cat's Eyes was His Majesty's will.
His Holiness was terrified, and his terrified cries attracted the night patrol of the guards. Evans Eamon held out for 40 minutes before his wings were clipped and he was taken into custody.
The guards checked all the AI terminals of the Amon's Horsemen that day and found no evidence of an appointment. Even the explanation for the accident was a lie.
Major General Amon was detained in the Cat's Eye Prison until the current leader of the First Army returns to deal with the matter.
Two days later, Admiral Kashi returned and took Eamon away from Cat's Eye. Evans's father, Klein, hurried back to Cat's Eye, but was a step late and did not see his young son. After that, Kashi refused Cat's Eye's application to visit the West Prisoner Star and did not allow Klein to visit his young son. Cat's Eye had no idea what was going on with the imprisoned Major General Eamon.
…
Grid was strapped to the electric chair, not angry at all, and understood why Cash did not allow this gentleman to apply for a visit.
After reading his memory film, Mr. Klein was unable to utter a complete sentence and his body went limp on the spot.
Grid tilted his head back, blood running down his nose. He thought dazedly, who could bear to see his beloved youngest son degenerate into a half-human, half-ghost monster?
…
…
A week later, Grid received an apology gift from Mr. Gary.
Also coming is Mr. Gary's admonition.
medical city.
"So sudden..." Valentine, who was doing rehabilitation training, was shocked. "Mr. Klein is only in his middle prime! He is A-level, how could he suddenly die?"
Grid looked at Valentine, who was seriously injured in an accident two weeks ago. Because of the shock, his memory was blank. The doctor said that it was the stress protection in the biological mechanism, which cleared the memory of the victim.
…
…
Grid remembered what the chief ceremonial officer, Berlin, had told him, so he changed the subject: "Do you want to attend the funeral? If so, I can make arrangements for you now."
…
…
On the way, Valentine and Grid whispered: "I thought there would be an A-level complaint this year."
He said sadly, "I thought Mr. Roxy would be the first to leave, you know? Every time I went to visit Mr. Roxy, he would just say to me repeatedly, 'Hello, do you want some snacks? I have a lot of snacks here.'"
"Lord Roxy tells every male insect that comes to visit him that he has forgotten his own name and can't tell us apart at all." Valentine hung his head in despair.
…
…】
"Sure enough." Shi Cunjin sighed in his heart. Probably starting from the death of Lord Klein in his prime, the A-level Lords who had the final say in Cat's Eyes "disappeared" one after another for various reasons. As the final chapter approached, it made sense that the person who negotiated the holy marriage contract with Anushka in the original novel was Gobelier.
"The conference signal has been received." The system counted down in Shi Cunjin's ear, "3, 2, 1... Fate's virtual image has been successfully connected."
The intelligent computer displayed a projection screen. Shi Cunjin's expression had returned to normal, and his mind was still calming down from the various important news he learned from the original chapter. The next second, he was still surprised.
"Hello, Mr. Fate."
"Hello, Fate."
On the conference screen, there were two participants sent by the Cat Eyes. One was an elderly gentleman with gray hair and an old face, and the other was a young gentleman with a calm temperament.
The old man with white hair looked a little unwell.
The young gentleman was very energetic, with black hair, orange-gold eyes, eyelashes as thick as eyeliner, and a handsome face. Shi Cunjin was familiar with his features. Evans Eamon was 90% similar to him, but he looked younger than Evans Eamon.
"Please forgive me for the extra time required for this meeting. I am Klein Gary, and I am attending the meeting on behalf of Cat's Eyes." He nodded gracefully in apology, "I know that this meeting should have been held between the real leaders of both parties."
Klein paused, turned his head to look at the old gentleman who was in a bad mood, then turned back and said, "But...Lord Roxy is in the late stage of decline. He is only awake for 30 minutes a day now. The unexpected meeting yesterday has consumed a lot of Lord Roxy's energy."
"He was barely sober today. This meeting is very important to both of us, and he temporarily entrusted me to observe on his behalf to avoid delaying the meeting process." Klein said, "We should have notified you by email, but I think it is better to explain it to you in person. If you mind, we can reschedule the meeting time."
"Your personal apology has shown me the sincerity of Cat Eyes. I don't mind." said the black-haired Fate.
"Hello," the old lady in the video smiled, her voice a little breathless, "I am Roxy Lorraine, thank you for taking care of Destiny all these years. I saw the video, he looks so good and healthy."
Shi Cunjin, behind the projection, looked at the elderly people in the meeting opposite.
He had dealt with the Cat-Eyed Bug Clan so many times, but this was the first time a Cat-Eyed Bug Clan sincerely thanked him.
The person in the book came alive before him again.
