A year passed in the blink of an eye.
In this year, after absorbing a lot of strength, Shao Ci was finally able to walk properly... However, he has never tried the most important flying of the Celestial Clan.
And Ymir also completely gave up the impossible idea of asking Shao Ci to memorize the history book, and began to teach him some simple light magic.
Shao Ci is very interested in this. He learned a lot of magic when he was in the human race, but he still doesn't know anything about the magic of the heavenly race.
And this year's Holy Light Festival is coming.
But unlike previous years, a grand ceremony will be held in the temple this time.
Every member of the Celestial Clan's royal family can perform rituals in the temple when they are fifteen years old, drink holy water, and receive the inheritance of their ancestors and the blessing of the goddess. The stronger the blood, the stronger the power.
It can be said that before the ceremony, Prince Aldrich still had power comparable to Ymir, but if the ceremony was performed, no matter how much he did, it would be useless.
And Prince Aldrich has been preparing for so long, and he just wants to do it on this day. However, the task entrusted to Rist could not be completed no matter what.
In the end, Prince Aldrich lost his patience and asked someone to arrest Rist directly, only to learn that the other party had nothing to do with the cub.
Rister became nervous all over, and said quickly: "Your Highness, as long as you give me some more time, I can complete the task you assigned."
Recently, he has almost forgotten his business, and has been taking advantage of the prince's influence to have fun... As for the matter of getting close to Shao Ci, because Ymir is very strict, he has nothing to do.
Prince Aldrich sneered suddenly, "You don't need to do it, I have other methods."
Fortunately, he didn't put all his hopes on Rist from the beginning.
Then he had someone tie up Rist, and they came to the basement.
There are a large number of magic circles that conceal the breath outside the basement, and among them is a black magic circle.
You must know that the people of the Celestial Clan hate black magic the most. Rist was stunned for a moment, and felt a little bit of regret in his heart, feeling that the situation in front of him was extremely bad.
He originally thought that the prince just created some dark elements to harm people, but he didn't expect that the other party even created a magic circle, which was almost insane.
"Do you know what this is for?" Prince Aldrich sneered.
Riester said tremblingly, "I don't know."
"This is the magic circle that I bought from the Dark Holy See at a great price." Prince Aldrich said, "With this magic circle, no matter how far apart they are, as long as they are related by blood, two people can be killed by other people." affected."
"This, this..." Rist suddenly had a strong sense of foreboding, "His Royal Highness, please forgive me..."
"It's okay, I won't kill you."
Then Prince Aldrich gave an order, and Rist was thrown directly onto the magic circle, and a lot of dark mist suddenly protruded from the magic circle to surround Rist, and Rist felt like a knife was being cut all over his body, and immediately let out a miserable scream cry.
Then Prince Aldrich had another lock of hair taken out.
It was too difficult for Ymir to get in, and he had to work hard to get this bundle of the cub's hair. As for the things on Ymir, it is even more impossible to get them.
She sprinkled her hair down, and before it fell into the magic circle, it was completely swallowed by the black mist.
Immediately dragged Rist to a magic circle and pushed it into it.
Then take out the hair strands that his subordinates took from the Ymir Palace and put them in the magic circle.
Aldrich immediately showed a smug smile, and the blue candlelight reflected on his face, carrying an indescribably strange aura.
Now that cub is naturally in the same situation, Rist is fine with rough skin and thick flesh, but that cub probably can't bear it.
If Ymir couldn't bear to see the cub die, he would definitely take out the dark element from the other party's body, and it would definitely contaminate himself by then. In this case, in tomorrow's Holy Light Day ceremony, the dark elements and the power of light in Ymir's body will definitely conflict, let alone inheriting power, it is good not to be killed by the two conflicting forces like this.
And if the other party bites the bullet and watches the cub die, the dark elements in the cub's body will also explode. Even if Ymir barely avoids it, the hall will be full of dark elements, which will have a negative impact on his reputation. influences.
In any case, no matter what, this matter is his own advantage.

Shao Ci was lying on the bed and sleeping, but suddenly he felt a pain inside his body. Although the pain had been mostly isolated by the system, it still made him curl up uncontrollably, and the cold sweat fell off his face instantly. down.
He could feel the dark elements seeping into his body constantly around him, but he couldn't find where it came from. This kind of coldness penetrating the bone marrow made him shiver.
If it was Shao Ci, who had been with Boyce for a long time before, he would probably be able to bear it more, but now this body has been staying in the heavens, absorbing light elements from beginning to end, dark elements and even shadows. I haven't seen it before, so I can't stand it soon.
Shao Ci's whole body is not well, why is he suddenly like this when he is fine.
[This is because someone is cursing the host.]
Shao Ci's expression became even uglier, "!" Who else could be the fuck, it must have something to do with that scumbag father! This is the only person who can cheat his son like this.
The origin of the Celestial Clan, Shao Ci, is very clear. It was transformed by the divine power of the God of Light. If you think about it, you will know that this kind of creature, which is completely composed of the divine power of light, is invaded by some dark element. The end must be miserable!
And Ymir woke up soon, and was stunned when he saw Shao Ci's uncomfortable and painful appearance, and quickly hugged Shao Ci in his arms, "What's wrong?"
After Ymir checked, he quickly realized that Shao Ci's current condition was not good.
He had long heard that the prince was researching some black magic matters, and he planned to catch more of the other party's problems before doing anything, but he didn't expect the other party to attack Shao Ci directly.
Ymir's complexion became very ugly. It would take a lot of time to expel these dark elements, and the dark elements in Shao Ci's body were still growing. Obviously, the current Shao Ci would definitely not be able to persist.
If he wanted to save Shao Ci, he could only use his own body to absorb the dark elements in the opponent's body.
And tomorrow is the Holy Light Day, and the ceremony cannot be postponed absolutely. If he does this, he will definitely encounter extremely troublesome things.
Ymir, however, hugged Shao Ci tightly without hesitation. He could feel the other person's body was very cold, still trembling, frowning slightly, and whimpering.
"Don't be afraid, you'll be fine." Ymir kissed Shao Ci's forehead reassuringly, and at the same time held his hand, closed his eyes, and absorbed the dark elements in the opponent's body into his own body.
This process lasted for a very long time, Ymir's face became extremely pale, and the tails of the two pairs of white wings on the back seemed to be stained with some ink, and slowly turned black, and there seemed to be many things in his heart. Thoughts never came before.
He had a vague thought that if he followed those thoughts, he would have more power.
But... In that case, he would lose his current self.
After feeling that the body in his arms had finally returned to heat, Ymir breathed a sigh of relief, shook off the thoughts in his mind just now, and then used his strength to suppress the restless dark elements in his body.
An ordinary Celestial Clan would naturally be unable to do this step, but Ymir's body is extremely powerful, so it is quite easy to do this step.
After finishing these things, even Ymir felt a bit tired, but he couldn't continue to rest, but called his subordinates to discuss how to deal with Prince Aldrich.
Now is obviously the critical time, and he must not slack off.
The next morning, Shao Ci turned into a furball again, and the whole furball was sickly, and the luster of the hair was also very dull, worse than when he didn't have enough to eat every day.
Because of yesterday's incident, most of the light elements in his body, which were not many in the first place, were absorbed, unable to maintain the appearance of a human being, and his body was much weaker, and he felt tired even when he moved.
According to Shao Ci's feeling, it feels like his body has been hollowed out.
Ymir was no different from usual, the servants didn't notice anything strange about him, they just looked at Shao Ci curiously.
This cub has been here for such a long time, and it is the first time that the cub looks so miserable. His Highness Ymir has taken good care of him in the past.
Ymir felt distressed and fed some hot milk to Shao Ci.
Soon it will be time for the ceremony to be held, and it stands to reason that he should go alone, but Ymir thought about it and brought Shao Ci with him.
Shao Ci's current state, if he can absorb some bright elements from the ceremony, he will definitely get better soon.
—
Everyone knows that today's Holy Light Festival is unusual. Many people have surrounded the temple early, and even nobles and nobles have come here.
Even for this ceremony, the Celestial Clan who lived quite far away rushed over half a month ago.
And the door of the temple was open, with seats for nobles on both sides, the most honorable queen was sitting in the front, and Prince Aldrich was behind her.
The high platform in front is where the ceremony will be held.
Everyone was surprised to find that Prince Aldrich was smiling today, and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Could it be that the prince is no longer obsessed with the throne? Everyone thought so. Only Dolores didn't feel very good. There had been no news from Rist since last night, and the matter might not be so simple.
Prince Aldrich was indeed in a good mood, he had already inquired, and the cub was fine, but he didn't have much energy.
Unexpectedly, Ymir was such a soft-hearted person. If he could do this for a cub that was used as a plaything, then his plan would be more than half successful.
He knew that even if it seemed to be fine now, when Ymir took the holy water, a large amount of light elements would collide with the dark elements after entering his body.
At that time, the Ymir who is called by everyone as the most noble bloodline and the most suitable heir to the throne will be finished.
The queen glanced at Prince Aldrich indifferently, and then looked away.
Soon, Ymir came over, his expression was very cold, he was wearing a white robe with extremely complicated silver patterns on it, and the two pairs of wings hanging down on his back seemed to be holy.
From the moment he appeared, everyone's eyes subconsciously focused on him.
The only thing that disrupted this harmony was the Celestial Cub in Ymir's hands, but His Highness was very firm, and the Queen didn't seem to object, so he let him do it.
There is an extremely complicated magic circle on the high platform, and Ymir stands on it.
After going through an extremely complicated process, the priest brought up the exquisite water cup inlaid with countless gemstones, which contained holy water with extremely strong power.
I don't know how many times stronger than the holy water in the human temple.
With a calm expression, Ymir raised his cup and drank it down under everyone's gaze.
Seeing this scene, Aldrich could hardly control his smile.
Afterwards, a burst of light erupted from Ymir's body. He frowned slightly, and the wings behind him stretched out. Feathers kept floating down, turning into countless light spots, and then new feathers emerged. , a large number of bright elements surround it.
Shao Ci, who was curled up in his arms, felt much lighter, as if bathed in bright elements.
But at this critical moment, Ymir's body froze, and the power of light became weaker in an instant. He seemed to be struggling for something. Covered by the force, and his wingtips were even stained with a few patches of black.
Prince Aldrich's eyes darkened, his smile could hardly be suppressed, but he insisted on putting on an anxious expression, "What's the matter? If I'm not mistaken, it's the dark element."
For the Celestial Clan, if the body is corroded by dark elements, it is almost equivalent to a death sentence.
"How?" "Did I read it wrong... How could His Highness Ymir have dark elements?"
When everyone was astonished, Prince Aldrich said again: "Although I don't know what happened, it's better to suspend the ceremony and see the situation."
Things have reached this level, and this ceremony probably cannot be completed.
The queen still looked calm, "No, let the ceremony continue."
Her words seemed to carry a strange and peaceful force, and everyone fell silent immediately.
Prince Aldridge frowned immediately, "Since His Majesty has said so, let's look at the situation again, maybe things will turn around."
In his heart, he was very disdainful. In his opinion, the queen must be holding on now, and he was afraid that she would not be able to hold on for a long time.
At this time, most of Ymir's pair of wings had been dyed black. He hugged Shao Ci tightly, and many distracting and crazy thoughts burst into his mind, but he insisted on pressing them down.
If he complies with these desires, he will degenerate, and he will never be his past self again.
But if he got these powers, he would no longer be unable to protect Shao Ci like he is now.
Yeah...if only he could get stronger.
Shao Ci regained some strength, opened his eyes, and saw the extremely pale Ymir, and immediately realized that the other party must have done something for him.
But Shao Ci has no way to help the other party. He can only rub against Ymir, and then send his healing ability to the other party's body. I don't know if this will have any effect.
Ymir felt the warm current coming from the fur ball in his arms, and at this moment his chaotic thoughts were directly suppressed.
Ymir calmed down, closed his eyes, and then countless bright elements emerged.
But Aldrich in the audience was stunned, the picture he expected did not appear, only a burst of intense light emerged from Ymir's body, and then a phantom appeared, appearing in the The moment this phantom appeared, the blackness on his wingtips was completely driven away.
Everyone was stunned for a while, and then fell into a frenzy. That phantom is the inheritance of the God of Light engraved in the blood of the Celestial Clan. I didn't expect His Royal Highness Ymir to be able to inspire it. He is definitely a well-deserved one of the Celestial Clan. heir.
Aldrich's face became more and more ugly, he realized that he had missed the opportunity just now, and the current Ymir's strength was completely beyond his ability to fight.
At the moment when the phantom of the God of Light appeared, not to mention that there were a few dark elements on Ymir before, even if he was a monster before, everyone would not care.
After the ceremony was over, Ymir raised his head, and those silver eyes looked down without any emotion.
The queen finally showed a gratified smile, then looked at Aldrich with cold eyes, and ordered her men to catch him.
Aldrich sneered, he knew that he was a complete loser, and he didn't resist at all.
He can now see that the queen is also weighing, if the ceremony is not successful, the queen will probably choose his younger brother as the heir.
Perhaps for the Celestial Clan, a character like a queen is suitable as a king.
The queen's eyes were a little disappointed, but she didn't say much. She didn't have any deep feelings for this younger brother.
Aldridge was imprisoned, after all, there was no precedent for members of the royal family to be executed.
And then the guards found Rist, who was almost useless, from Aldrich's mansion. After being corroded by the dark elements, he survived, but most of his strength had disappeared. Cubs are about the same.
The queen was too lazy to care about these things, so she handed them over to Ymir.
Aldrich couldn't be killed, but Rist wasn't sure.
After he was escorted in front of Ymir, he broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly said that he didn't think so, "I didn't expect the prince to do such a thing! I'm the victim!"
Then Rist said again: "I am the patriarch of the Perry family. If something happens to me, the family will be in chaos. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Ymir hugged Shao Ci who was already asleep, and said casually, "Oh?"
Dolores on the side quickly said: "Your Highness, please rest assured that the Perry family has already decided to give up on him."
Rist widened his eyes in astonishment, then looked at Dolores, and said angrily, "What are you talking about? I have sacrificed so much for the family, how could you do this to me!"
Dolores sneered, "What kind of sacrifice do you call that?"
"We still have children, don't we?" Rist said anxiously, "Don't you want our children to have no father?"
"It's better not to have a stupid father like you." Dolores said: "Besides, the Perry family doesn't need a useless man to be the patriarch."
Ymir looked at the past with cold eyes. In the past, he would have considered whether to kill Rist because of Shao Ci's affairs, but after what happened last time, he thought it was better for this person to die as soon as possible.
Ymir said directly: "Do it."
After he finished speaking, Rist opened his eyes wide in astonishment, unwilling to say anything more, but the guards behind him directly dragged him down.
After Dolores left, she still had to rectify the Perry family. After all, after Rist's death, there were still many people coveting the position of Patriarch.
But now that she has the support of His Royal Highness Ymir, those in the family still dare not do anything.
—
On the other side, Ymir returned to the palace with Shao Ci in his arms.
Even after absorbing part of the power from the ceremony, Shao Ci still has no energy and is still asleep. After all, the previous incident really consumed too much of his strength.
Ymir sighed and hugged Shao Ci tightly, but a magic came to mind.
It was the long-lost contract magic that appeared in his mind when he accepted the inheritance. It could share vitality with the contracted object, and he could feel where the other party was no matter when and where.
If this is used, he will be able to stay with Shao Ci forever.
But it still has to wait for Shao Ci to recover his health.
So when Shao Ci rested, Ymir went to look for the materials needed for the magic, and he also safely left Shao Ci in his residence. After all, Aldrich has been locked up now, and no one will come again. What did you do to Shao Ci.
...
…
Shao Ci felt a warm force pouring into his body, and after subconsciously opening his eyes, he saw an unexpected person.
That was Ymir's mother, the most honorable person in the Celestial Clan—His Majesty the Queen.
Shao Ci:? ?
Damn it, why did the queen find him alone.
It feels like something bloody will happen.
