The Fairy Tale

Reg has never had a good impression of this kind of gathering among nobles. In his impression, this kind of gathering is not just some rich and powerful people who gather together to intrigue and accomplish things on the surface or secretly. transaction.

Of course, it would be impossible for Kessel to introduce them to Reg one by one. Although Reg won the championship of this pharmacist conference, he is still just a commoner without a title. It is impossible to appear in such a party.

Reg did see an acquaintance, the little girl who participated in the pharmacist competition like himself, Reg still vaguely remembered her name, it seemed to be Caiwei.

She was dressed in the same white court pharmacist's robe as she was in the daytime, and beside her was an old man who was also wearing a white court pharmacist's robe, except that the seven evenly arranged lights on the collar point, but it clearly shows his identity.

Seventh-level court pharmacist! [

Because they were both pharmacists, Reg paid extra attention to the other party, and the old man smiled kindly at Reg's sizing up.

Kessel introduced several nobles present, all of whom were barons or viscounts. Although Reg was impatient, he had to cheer up to deal with it. Kessel watched Reg taking a peek at the court pharmacist, and said with a smile: "I think of all the people here tonight, you probably want to know him the most. Come on, let me introduce you. This is the chief court pharmacist Yageshan, and this is his student. You are all together I have competed, Caiwei Alpha."

Reg turned to Jager and bowed: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Jager smiled kindly: "It's my student Caiwei who insists on joining in the fun. Otherwise, I'm an old man, and I'm too old to hang out with them. It's better for you young people."

As the chief court pharmacist, although he does not have a title, his status is very special. After all, he is directly responsible to His Majesty, he refines pills for His Majesty, and he can often stay by His Majesty's side. very natural.

Caiwei stared at Reg, with curiosity in her eyes, as if she wanted to talk to Reg, but couldn't muster up the courage.

At this time, the musicians on one side played dance music, and Reg took the opportunity to retreat to a corner that attracted the least attention, and quietly sat down on a chair, without having to deal with the hypocrisy of the nobles. A sigh of relief.

The Eighth Prince's eyes fell on Reg, and there was a bit of a smile in his eyes. Kessel saw where the Eighth Prince's eyes fell, and laughed softly: "Your Highness, it seems that you are very interested in him..."

The Eighth Prince nodded lightly with a smile: "I think this person is not simple. Not only is he very talented in pharmacists, but he also seems to be not bad in cultivation. What makes me most curious is his character. Not surprised, very calm."

Kessel acted as a referee in the Pharmacist Contest once, and Reg's performance in the arena, he is naturally clear, even when he failed in alchemy, he was still calm and calm, especially in the second round of identifying herbs and maximizing their strength. In alchemy and the last match, Reg's performance was even more remarkable.

Kessel hadn't spoken yet, but the Eighth Prince continued, "I want to recruit him, but I guess he won't accept my offer."

Kessel asked in surprise, "Why does Your Highness say that?"

The Eighth Prince smiled softly and said, "His vision...he is not a power-hungry person, otherwise, he would not be able to keep his distance from me."

Kessel thought about Reg's appearance just now, and there was indeed nothing to be picky about in terms of politeness, but he did seem to be keeping a deliberate distance, and he was not so sure at the moment, looking at the Hachioji and said: "Then what are you going to do, Your Highness?" What? I mean, if he refuses..."

The Eighth Prince smiled and shook his head, "What can I do? Everyone has his own ambitions. If he doesn't want to, then forget it. In fact, I would like to make friends with him."

"make friends?"

Kessel's eyes showed a bit of surprise, soliciting and making friends are completely two concepts.

Seeing Kessel's surprised expression, Hachioji smiled, but did not explain the reason.

Reg was sitting in the corner, thinking how long it would be before the banquet ended, but suddenly raised his head, and he noticed that the Hachioji was walking towards him. [

"Qingzhu, I don't think you like this place very much, let's go outside for a walk."

There was a bit of surprise in Reg's eyes, but he stood up without hesitation, nodded at the Hachioji and said, "Okay, Your Highness."

The Hachi Prince slowly left the banquet hall through a door at the back, and Reg followed behind the Hachi Prince, looking at the back of the Hachi Prince, a strange thought suddenly rose in Reg's heart, even though he was a prince, If I suddenly attack him at this time...

This idea just appeared in Reg's mind, but Reg himself couldn't help laughing. Why did he think this way? The Eighth Prince even stayed in the hall with that shadowy master and came out alone with him. Believe in yourself, but you are still thinking wildly.

However, he came out alone with himself like this, what did he want to say to himself, to recruit himself?

How should I refuse?

While Reg was thinking, Hachioji, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped under a tree, turned around, looked at Reg with a light smile, and said, "Qingzhu, are you wondering why I Want to come out with you alone?"

Reg was taken aback, looked at Hachioji's smiling face, nodded calmly and said: "Yes, I really think so."

The Eighth Prince also smiled: "You must be thinking, what will I say to attract you to serve me, and you are hesitating how to reject me... Am I right?"

Reg was really taken aback this time, the Eighth Prince's ability to perceive words and emotions is too strong, he can actually see through his own thoughts.

Now that the Eighth Prince had said it all, Reg was surprised but heaved a sigh of relief, and even smiled a little: "Your Highness is really amazing, you can see my thoughts clearly."

His Highness the Eighth Prince smiled and said: "Your eyes told me the answer. In your eyes, there is no desire for power. You don't seem to want to contact us, and you deliberately keep a distance from us psychologically."

Reg secretly marveled at the carefulness of Hachioji, but he didn't know how to answer. After hesitating for a while, Reg said: "Maybe it's because of the environment I grew up in. I'm used to living a free life by myself, and there are too many hypocrisy in the officialdom. , is not suitable for me."

The Eighth Prince nodded, with an undisguised admiration on his face: "Fight openly and covertly, entertain hypocrisy, although your eight words are not completely accurate, but they are almost the same. In the whole world, there are not many people like you... ..."

The Eighth Prince casually sat down on a stone bench in the garden, pointed to another stool with a smile and said, "Sit down, don't be restrained, the so-called desire is strong, since you have no intention of being loyal to me, then We can change the way, chat casually, um, just like friends."

"Friend?" Reg was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "I am a little flattered by your Highness's words."

Reg smiled wryly, and sat down. The Eighth Prince spoke openly and with extraordinary bearing. Even though Reg had no intention of being loyal to him, he had a good impression of him.

The Eighth Prince chuckled, stared at Reg and said, "What you said is wrong, no matter if I am a prince or a beggar, if you make friends, the friendship is the same, but you always think of me in your heart." It's the Eighth Prince, who always thinks about my identity, so he's naturally restrained..."

Reg smiled calmly: "Your Highness, what you said is indeed correct, but people live in the world, there are always many constraints, there are many grievances, who can really live in constraints and do whatever they want?"

The Eighth Prince laughed, and said happily: "Actually, hundreds of years ago, there was a genius who did what he wanted and did many amazing things, but he was taboo. That's a joy."

Reg's eyes lit up, he stared at Hachioji and said, "Your Highness is talking about Glenn Doyle?"

The Hachioji stared at Regina's shining eyes, clapped his hands, and laughed: "Looking at the way your eyes shine, I guess your goal is to become a person like him, unfettered by everything, indulge in whatever you want, be free comfortable."[

Reg nodded, with undisguised admiration in his eyes: "Yes, I do have this dream, but the dream is probably a dream in the end."

The Eighth Prince shook his head: "People, it is because they have dreams that they are motivated to work hard. Some people spend their whole lives trying to climb up for rights, and they will do everything they can. Some people are for money, some People do it for love... No matter what, people always need a goal when they live."

Seeing what the eighth prince said, Reg suddenly couldn't help asking: "Then what is your goal, Your Highness?"

The Eighth Prince was stunned for a while, and finally smiled wryly: "I really don't know what my goal is. As a prince, many times, many things are out of control, and doing many things is like a tangible hand holding you, forcing You do it, it’s such a nasty feeling.”

Reg understood what Hachioji said, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Everyone, in every position, has everyone's happiness and everyone's pain. People are always envious of others. I think it is Because people always see other people's happy places and think of their own painful places, His Highness feels that it is very tiring to wear the identity of a prince, but the world does not know how many people envy His Highness to be born in the royal family. peak……"

The Eighth Prince looked at Reg, and suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "Qing Zhu, talking to you is a pleasure, it seems that my decision is not wrong, it would be a waste for someone like you to be my subordinate..."! ~!
