Chapter 269
Seeing Haixin’s embarrassment, Shiuserna waved his hand and said, “Hillock! You do a good job! You go down first.” He then said to the other members: “You guys go down first, too, I and the leader have some things that need to be discussed.”
"Abide by the order!" Hilllock, other members of the group, and Entai and others all tactfully retreated, leaving only Haixin and Xuserna.
After waiting for them to leave, Seuserna said, "Captain, are you not adapting to your identity?"
Hai Xin nodded, "Yes, I never thought that others would respect me so much. This feeling was like a dream, and it felt so unreal."
When Shiuserna heard this, she laughed happily, "Hahaha, this is not a dream, it is all true. You do have a group of loyal subordinates."
"Including me, all our members of the Knights of Annihilation, this ice crystal castle and even all the shops on the continent - The Sea of Love, are all the property of your family, and you are the patriarch of this family, and now all these belong to you."
"Uh...all...all belong to me?"
Hai Xin still couldn't believe it. It seemed to be a matter of a pie falling from the sky to him. A few days ago, he was a poor boy who didn't know his life experience. At this moment, he actually became the patriarch of an ancient family, or even a famous knights group leader who was famous on the continent.
"Yes! I couldn't guarantee it before, but now I can be sure!" Shiuserna nodded solemnly.
"Hmm? What's sure?" Hai Xin couldn't understand Seuserna's words, and he asked in confusion.
But unexpectedly, Shiuserna sighed and smiled bitterly, "Oh... I finally understand Egbert's good intentions. If you didn't pass the Annihilation Trial and directly took over the Knights, I'm afraid that even if you become the nominal leader, you will not be sincerely recognized by the members."
"Ah?!" Hai Xin was surprised. Yes, can he, a little furry child, gain their trust so easily? They are Fengyun figures who dominate the entire continent!
"Egbert knows human nature too well. Who can be without a little pride? Who can be without a little vanity? If you don't do anything, why can you inherit such a powerful Knights?"
"Egbert really made plans for every step of your life. He is...ah..." When Shiuserna thought of this, a trace of water vapor appeared in his eyes. His old friend really devoted himself to the Heather family until his death!
Haixin also understood that Egbert really paid too much for the family, but unfortunately he could not do anything for him. Such a rare loyal and brave man would have been great if he was still alive.
Shiuserna continued: "But now it's different. You have passed the 'Annihilation Trial' like them, and you have also brought back a special egg that may be important to the Barth Demons, which proves that you are fully qualified to be a full member of the Annihilation Knights."
"In addition to your Heather family heir, after the two items are added together, you are justified in the position of the leader of the group and deserve it!"
"From today! You must recognize your identity, and don't have any doubts. I can guarantee you with my life! Not only Egbert, the leader of the Night Owl, but even me, everyone in our entire Knight of Annihilation."
Speaking of this, Seuserna stood up, and he knelt on one knee to Haixin, saying solemnly: "We are all willing to go through fire and water for you! We are heartbroken!!"
"Get up quickly!" Hai Xin hurried over and helped Shiserna up. He was really shocked. He didn't expect that he was so heavy in their eyes.
"You have to believe in me, and you have to believe in yourself. Since ancient times, there has been no mediocre descendants of the Heather family. Our respect for you is not blind, and we are not lying to you. As the saying goes, people's hearts will be seen over time, and our loyalty can only be experienced by you in the future."
Shiuserna sat down again and smiled, "But now, you still have to clarify your thoughts earlier and be familiar with your identity. A group of people should look like a group of people. You are so polite and reserved to your subordinates. How can you handle matters well?"
"Although we will help you support you, you must also integrate yourself into us, and you must find an accurate position among us. Only in this way can we be a real group and a common family..."
"Captain of a group? My identity..." After hearing what Seuserna said, Hai Xin began to seriously think about his life experience for the first time. Only then did he realize that he was no longer the boy Hai who could make a fuss at will...
——————————
Haixin wanted to send someone to send the news about His Majesty the King to Leo, but unexpectedly, she received an invitation from Leo in the palace.
After hearing Hai Xin's thoughts, Paruth said in a joking manner: "I'm going to the palace again? Isn't I going to lock us up again this time and force us to go to the arena?"
Hai Xin smiled and said, "Haha, why is it that the meeting place mentioned in the letter is not in the palace, but in the Duke of Chris's house."
Palus stroked his hair, "That's good, hum! Although that steel shell is gorgeous, I don't want to go there again."
“………”
Taking into account the safety, Haixin and others, accompanied by the three Marlin sisters, went to the Duke of Chris's Mansion to make an appointment. Walking on the streets of the imperial capital, all the sights made them feel sad.
Why are they sentimental?
Because today's imperial capital is very different from the past. In the past, as the capital of the Caesar Empire, the imperial capital was filled with lively and prosperous scenes all the time, day and night, and the people living here were also busy and colorful.
Today, the capital of the largest empire in the continent and the most prosperous city in the continent have lost its vitality as it used to be. Its hustle and bustle has disappeared, but replaced by a heartbreaking desolation.
Today, all the shops and stalls on the streets of the imperial capital were not open normally. People stopped all the work and put down everything. Today, there was no production, no transaction, and no entertainment.
Today, the streets of the imperial capital are only two colors, black and white, because all the people have changed into black clothes, while they are holding white flowers in their hands.
Black and white are a pair of monotonous colors, and they are also a pair of objects that symbolize life and death. The black and white streets, the black and white world give people the feeling that they are so depressing at this moment.
People came to the streets at the same time, and they walked in a row in an orderly manner, and their direction was the same as Hai Xin and others.
Hai Xin vaguely guessed what was going on, so he found a passerby and asked it before he was really sure that the destination of these people was really the same as that of him, and it was Duke Chris's Mansion.
And today is Duke Chris' funeral day.
