Life of the Emperor Chapter 7

The potions that Samuel Osvid brought with him were obviously effective. Whether it was the sedative given to the black-eared wolf or the healing agent applied to Henry and Alex, they all reacted quickly. Alex rolled all the way from one end of the abandoned temple to the other, and then rolled back from the other end, jumping up and down, howling: "It's better not to apply the medicine. It itches, itches, itches, help me---"

Compared to him, his father seemed particularly calm. Those who had survived the battlefield had suffered all kinds of hardships, and the refreshing feeling of wound healing was commonplace for them. So he trembled his ears and listened to his silly son's movements silently, and occasionally when he jumped by the class, he would stretch out his paws and pat him twice to comfort him.

David Kevin held the dried meat in his hand, watching the show and eating while instructing his class: "Hey, a little to the left, left! That's right, this part hasn't been swept yet."

Ban cried and rubbed against him.

Samuel Osvid was not very hungry. He stood aside with his arms folded, looking at David Kevin and then at the crying little lion, with an expression that was hard to describe.

The scene before him was so familiar, because that B@st@ard had treated him the same way back then.

At that time, he was still a naughty kid, and he reluctantly followed David Kevin, the B@st@ard, to learn swordsmanship and close combat. David Kevin was very picky and demanding about details. If he was too fast or too slow, or there was a slight difference in distance, even if it was so small that it could be ignored, he would ask him to do it again and again.

This method is enough to wear out all the patience and enthusiasm of a child, not to mention that his patience is already very limited at that time.

So, he started to act like a spoiled brat and make trouble in every possible way, and in the end he just sat on the ground, hugged his arms and crossed his legs, turning a deaf ear to David Kevin's nagging and refusing to get up no matter how hard he tried.

The worst thing is that David Kevin has even less patience than him, and this B@st@ard has never had the concept of "respecting the elderly and loving the young" in his mind. He would beat people without any ambiguity when he said so.

At that time, David Kevin was amused by his stubborn protest, so he just grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him for a walk.

To David Kevin, a seven or eight-year-old child seemed weightless. He walked with him smoothly without any obstacles.

The shameless B@st@ard said as he walked, "Come on, a little to the left, the left. Okay, a little to the right, good, just like that, just enough to mop the floor and save Uncle Ethan some trouble."

David Kevin knew his rebellious psychology very well, so he gave him the opposite instructions. If he wanted him to go east, he would tell him to go west, and if he wanted him to go forward, he would tell him to go backward. In short, he could make him so angry that he vomited blood.

Samuel Osvid recalled the stupid things that happened in the past and wiped his face silently.

David Kevin caught a glimpse of his movements from the corner of his eye, turned around and said calmly: "Why, are you thinking of something in the past that you don't want to recall?"

Samuel Osvid looked up at him expressionlessly: "How dare you ask that?"

David Kevin said frankly: "Why should I feel embarrassed? I'm not the one who's being naughty or making a scene."

He was chewing dried meat, his cheeks bulging, the tiger claw bones near his ears moving, and he was eating very comfortably. Samuel Osvid looked at him for a long time with a sluggish face, licked his itchy teeth, and said, "Do you know what the word emperor means?"

David Kevin paused: ... Oops, I forgot again.

Samuel Osvid said sarcastically: "I am not good at anything else, but I have a good memory, and my favorite saying is 'tit for tat'."

David Kevin: "...How do I report it?"

"Mio---" Oswald turned around and called out.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Mio came over and asked.

"The carriage door has been removed, whoever removed it should repair it." Oswald raised his chin towards David Kevin and said, "I'll find some people to tie your arms and legs to the door to block the wind."

Mio: ...

David Kevin: ...

The Diaspora was thrown into chaos for a while, but this level of chaos was not uncommon in this town. The tough residents and merchants soon calmed down and went about their business. The only ones who had a hard time were Victor and his group, who were bitten several times and almost lost half their lives.

They are probably still treating their injuries urgently and can't take care of other things. But they should react in a few minutes.

Samuel Osvid is too big a target and it is not suitable for him to stay in the Crow's Nest Abandoned Temple for a long time.

Just when they had finished resting and were about to pack up and set off again, the black-eared wolf that had been fed a sedative slowly woke up. The blood color in its eyes gradually faded and returned to a clear blue. It emitted a faint light in the corner of the abandoned temple, looking eerie.

Under the moonlight, the huge shadow of the black-eared wolf began to deform.

Then he changed his form and became a man with black hair and blue eyes. He was about two meters tall, wearing a black coarse cloth vest, and his exposed arms were strong and muscular, with many new and old scars. There was an old whip mark that ran diagonally from his left face to the junction of his cervical spine and right clavicle, which looked hideous and terrifying.

He stood up from the corner and walked over like a small mountain. He nodded and thanked Oswald and the others, then smiled at Alex and said, "Don't you recognize me? I'm Xiao."

Alex looked confused.

"That's right. I haven't been back to the valley for many years. The last time I saw you, you were still crawling on the ground." Xiao said, and then looked at Henry: "You are so big now, leader... Henry still doesn't like to change his form?"

Alex shrugged. "It's definitely more comfortable in beast form."

And feel more secure...

Xiao shook his head and said nothing.

David Kevin looked at him inquiringly and whispered, "Old subordinate?"

"Almost." Samuel Osvid hummed and said, "Just now when they were in the iron cage in the casino and Henry was pushed in, Xiao was stunned for a moment and then quickly pretended to be provocative and circled around. Do you remember? I heard it call out "chief" in animal language, saying 'Why are you here?' But Henry didn't seem to understand the situation and didn't answer."

David Kevin recalled that Henry really didn't move at first, until Xiao made a rhythmic snoring sound from the bottom of his throat, and then Henry began to react.

Therefore, the subsequent series of attacks will be commanded specifically by Xiao, because Henry only understands this.

It was understandable that Henry was in a special situation, but how did Xiao, who had been on the battlefield, get himself into that situation? This was something David Kevin and Samuel Osvid could not understand.

"Don't look at me like that. It's a long story." Animals are always extremely sensitive. As soon as Xiao saw David Kevin and the others, he knew what they were thinking.

Samuel Osvid felt that there was something fishy going on and said, "Let's make it short. We are in a hurry."

Xiao frowned and said, "I was actually captured by the people of the Northern Emerald Country in the beginning, of course, with the help of the Sand Ghost. I stayed in the dungeon of the Northern Emerald Country for a long time, probably several months, or even longer, and was drugged every day, so that I couldn't change into human form. Although the beast form is more powerful, there are always many things that are not so convenient, not to mention that I am sometimes crazy and sometimes awake, so it is difficult to save myself, let alone save others."

"Save people?" David Kevin interrupted.

"Yes, there are many people imprisoned in the dungeon, including our people, a few Eldar people, and you. Are you from... the Golden Lion Country?"

David Kevin: ... Warrior, are you really awake or just pretending to be awake?

Xiao nodded, and when they agreed, he said in a deep voice: "That's right, they also arrested a group of you. Some of you were taken away after staying in the dungeon for a short time. I guess they were killed."

He shook his head and said, "It's a pity. I had a few words with two of them. By the way, some sand ghosts came to the dungeon halfway through. They probably thought we were all crazy and didn't mince words. I vaguely heard something like 'it's almost time' and 'everything has been arranged'. I felt that things were not simple, so I tried my best to escape. Who knew that the drug took effect halfway through, and the Sc*m passing by took advantage of the opportunity, and it became like this now..."

Everyone present looked grim after hearing his words. Samuel Osvid looked especially grim because he had not received any reports of missing persons, let alone a group of people!

There was something wrong, but they couldn't figure out what it was.

"The Northern Emerald Nation and the Sand Ghosts are obviously planning something nasty in secret. You'd better be on guard. I have to hurry back to inform the current leader."

He rummaged through his ragged clothes for a while, took out a metal animal tooth and handed it to Samuel Osvid, saying, "I owe you a favor for what happened today. If you need help in the future, you can bring this to me. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he glanced at Henry and Alex.

Alex thought about it, then seriously took out a metal animal tooth and stuffed it into David Kevin's hand: "I owe you two pieces of meat!" After that, he and Henry caught up with Xiao.

David Kevin: ... Does everyone have one of these?

After all, they were the kids he had beaten. David Kevin took the fang and put it away, then walked a few steps with them as a symbolic farewell.

As a result, just when he walked to the last heavily armored cavalryman, Xiao suddenly exclaimed "Huh" and stopped.

David Kevin followed his gaze and looked at the half finger exposed by the heavily armored cavalryman, and saw that the cavalryman was missing a little finger, and there were scars on the back of his hand from being bitten by animal teeth.

Xiao suddenly shouted: "I saw him in the dungeon!"
