Chapter 196: Knight of Dark Disaster 25
The days of recuperation passed quickly and several months flew by in a flash.
The Slavic king still hadn't returned, and all government affairs were handled by Ze.
Xu Yan, who had already signed a contract with Ze Li, was now like a shadow with almost no presence.
He stood in the shadow behind Yu Ze where the sunlight could not reach, half leaning against a wall pillar carved with intricate relief patterns. His eyes, covered by black satin, were looking at no one, and he said nothing, like a knife without emotion and self.
The moment Tang Ze stepped into the hall, his sight was fixed on the black color. He looked at it greedily for a few more times, then looked at Ze and walked over.
"These are the information I collected about the totem from Donghuang."
He placed a few pieces of brown paper on Ze's desk.
When they were alone, Tang Ze would not use honorific titles to address Ze, and Ze acquiesced to this. After all, they were just partners, not subordinates.
"Thank you."
Ze is not so arrogant that he is unwilling to even say thank you to the powerful. He has always portrayed the image of a wise king to the outside world, which can win him more love from the people than his father, whose mood is changeable and unpredictable.
While Ze was checking the intelligence information, Tang Ze walked up to Xu Yan and took out a tassel that could be tied to the hilt of a knife from his arms. The black and red color scheme matched Xu Yan's current low-key yet luxurious contract knight light armor very well.
"It's a very cheap little gift. I left a small spell on it that will make your knife sharper."
The attentive Tang Ze had long noticed Xu Yan's awkwardness and uneasiness when faced with his kindness, and now he had found the right balance that would make him reluctant to refuse but would not increase his psychological burden.
Sure enough, Xu Yan reached out and took it, and hung the tassel on the handle directly in front of him.
Because of his guilt, he would satisfy Tang Ze and Nan Ze's little wishes in these small matters, resulting in him carrying more and more gadgets with him.
The peace knot woven from magical materials was delicate and beautiful. It swayed slightly with Xu Yan's movements, making Tang Ze feel itchy.
"Thank you, Mr. Tang."
"You're welcome."
You really don’t need to be polite to him, everything he has belongs to Ayan.
He wanted so much to hug his lover who was so close to him, his heart was screaming with desire, but he restrained himself.
For Ayan, he would suppress all his emotions in his heart even if it would drive him crazy.
He wanted to protect this person carefully in his heart, so how could he bear to make things difficult for him.
If...he can't accept me, then I will keep protecting him. It will be enough for me as long as I can see him often.
You know... something as simple as seeing him was an unattainable luxury for him not long ago.
He has to be satisfied.
"Oh my god, Tang Ze really loves you." 937's voice sounded lively.
Xu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh, have you figured out the salary deduction for being absent from work for so long?"
The smile on 937's face suddenly stopped, and boundless sadness surged into his heart, but he still reported the reality he needed to face to his immediate superior, "I have to work for three months for nothing, and this is because you helped me to apply for a discount on leave."
"Tsk tsk, it's indeed the evil capitalist paradise." Xu Yan smiled in a good mood.
937 became embarrassed and stammered, "Thank you...thank you for helping me, sir."
"You're welcome. I'm just afraid that the next assistant officer will be even more LJ than you."
937 smacked his lips. The mint candy in his mouth was refreshing, sweet and delicious. "Thank you, sir."
"Alright, alright, get to work. It's time to write a report to apply for the tools I want to use in this world."
937 tilted his head when he heard this, "But doesn't War World allow unlimited use of props that do not exceed the specifications?"
Xu Yan took a deep breath and opened the reporting interface in front of 937.
"Ah!!! No! Let me think about it! Ah! I see! You are requesting an oversized item!"
"Don't you have brains? If I don't whip you, you won't use your brains, right?"
'Wow wow wow...I'm sorry.'
Soon, Tang Ze left again. Although he was reluctant, since it was Xu Yan's safety, he could not afford any mistakes.
"Is that the peace knot from Donghuang?"
Ze had put down the information in his hand at some point and was turning his head to look at Xu Yan with a smile. His handsome and gorgeous face was slightly backlit, and the morning sunlight outlined his picturesque eyebrows and eyes. The boundary between light and dark made his already deep facial features more three-dimensional.
His originally pure white long hair was dyed into a light golden color by magic, which was as beautiful as the morning light. During the time when Xu Yan was injured, he and Cartel had always kept their hair this color, fearing that their pure white hair would hurt the younger brother and older brother they cared about.
Of course, if there are outsiders around, they will restore their pure white hair color. After all, that is the glory of the royal family and a symbol of the royal family being favored by the God of Pure White.
Even though Ze was a person who had no faith in the so-called gods, he could only act proud of it. The Slavs were a country dominated by theocracy and royal power, and he did not have the strength and capital to resist it.
"Yes, my mother weaved it for me when I was a child." Xu Yan's tone was smiling and intimate, expressing his remembrance of his mother who passed away young, as well as his unguarded trust in his brother.
Ze was very satisfied with Xu Yan's attitude towards him in private. Xu Yan had always been very obedient. As long as he opened his mouth, Xu Yan would do it obediently.
For example, you can call him brother in private, and treat him like a brother and be affectionate and coquettish with him.
So Ze stood up and walked over. When Xu Yan saw his brother coming over, he no longer leaned on the pillar, but stood up straight, like a cat squatting obediently waiting for its owner to come over and pet it.
