Since Prince Rong has already said so, then he should return the sword to himself on purpose. Thinking of this, eagerness appeared in his eyes unconsciously.
Prince Rong thought in his heart, boy, Jiang is still old and spicy, want to follow me, you are still a little tender, I don't believe there is nothing that can attract you. On the surface, he said calmly: "It's not difficult to get back these precious knives, you just need to do one thing for the Rong family, and I'll return them to you. They can be lent to you first. Judging from your traffic, it is not difficult to complete this matter, are you willing?"
Nian Bing thought for a while, although he was eager to get the treasured sword back, he was not flustered, "It's nothing to do something for you at the price of the treasured sword, but this matter must not violate morality and my will." Willingness, you say things first, and I will decide whether to do it."
Prince Rong smiled lightly, and said: "This matter is very simple. I want you to replace Rong Bingyun in the competition that will take place in more than a month. Just use your mimetic magic. When you fight, you must use the name of the Rong family."
Nian Bing was stunned for a moment, and then said decisively: "No, absolutely not, I can't agree to this matter."
Prince Rong frowned slightly, and said: "Don't you want to get back your precious sword? You must know that although I have promised to let you go, treasures of that level are rare."
Nian Bing said: "It's not that I don't want to get the sword back, but that I can't represent the Rong family to participate in this competition, because I am a participant in this competition."
Prince Rong was surprised, "What? You are a contestant? Which country do you represent?"
Nian Bing looked up at him, and then slowly said: "I represent the Ice Moon Empire. Of course, it can't be the Ice God Tower. It's the Ice Moon Empire Mage Union, which is at the bottom of every realm." While talking , he took out his No. 10 number plate from the Ring of Space and put it on the desk in front of Prince Rong, and continued: "My second master is the president of the Magician Union of the Ice Water Empire. Mentor Long Zhi. He is kind to me, and I am the elder of the Ice Moon Empire Magicians Guild."
Looking at the number plate on the desk, Prince Rong suddenly smiled, and seeing his smile, Nian Bing was filled with a strange feeling. When I was young, how much I wished to see Grandpa's smile! However, the childhood memories are all added up, and there are not as many as what I see today. Unfortunately, in my heart, he is no longer a grandfather.
Prince Rong said: "It cannot be denied, you are very smart. If my guess is correct, you want to use the Ice Moon Empire Magician Union to deal with the Ice God Tower? This time you are participating in the competition to fight against the Ice God Tower. Arrogance!? But, are you sure you can defeat the representative of the Ice God Tower?"
Nian Bing's heart was shocked, he deserves to be the number one national teacher of the Huarong Empire! So many things can be seen from just this small number plate. Although he was shocked in his heart, he didn't show any emotion on the surface, and said calmly: "There are some things in this life that a person cannot lose. Even if the representative of the Ice God Tower is strong, I don't believe that at the age of twenty-five, she I can reach the realm of a magister. You have seen my mimicry magic. As long as the opponent is still a magus, I have a chance to win with my skills. If I really can’t win, I don’t know if you have heard of a curse Forbidden spell at your own expense."
"What?" Nian Bing's previous words did not surprise Prince Rong, but his last sentence made Prince Rong stand up from his seat again, "You learned the curse of life? Where did you learn it?" Curse is a magic spell that Prince Rong is very familiar with. It is an absolutely taboo magic that is used for desperate use. Back then, he once had a friend who knew this spell from somewhere. In a crisis, that friend relied on The curse of life completely burned his own life to save Prince Rong, so he has great affection for this curse.
Nian Bing said calmly: "I'm sorry Prince Rong, I can't tell you this, you just need to know that I know this magic. I am determined to win this competition."
Taking a long breath, Prince Rong looked at Nian Bing with flickering eyes. The grandson who came back suddenly brought him too much shock. Tian'er, you went and sent back such an outstanding grandson. Are you blaming me? ? Maybe Nian Bing is right, I was too headstrong back then, I only thought about myself and my family, but never thought about your feelings. A person's personality will change with age. Ten years ago, I am afraid that Prince Rong would have locked Nian Bing away, but now it is different. He is already old. I used to like to be quiet and now I like to be lively, especially the emphasis on family affection is how many times stronger than before. Looking at his tall and handsome grandson who refused to recognize his son, who was so different from his dead son, his heart softened.
With a flash of light, Prince Unsweet was summoned by some space magic item, and six colors of light appeared on his desk, and a layer of precious energy suddenly appeared in the whole study room. It was Nian Bing's six magic knives, perhaps It was the manufacturer who saw Nian Bing's breath, the six divine knives trembled at the same time, and the Aotian Knife made a faint groaning sound. Suddenly seeing the six knives, Nian Bing couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and his eyes fell on the light of the knives. on, as if looking at his best friend.
"Take it. Whether you admit it or not, he is my grandson. Whoever wins the final championship between you and Rong Bing has swept away the face of the Ice God Tower for me. However, if you don't want to get into trouble, After leaving my place, find a way to change your appearance." Prince Rong's eyes softened, looking at Nian Bing, waiting for him to take his things.
Nian Bing looked at Prince Rong blankly. He never thought that he could get back the six knives so easily. The light in his eyes flickered one after another. Finally, the temptation of the precious knives dispelled his doubts. , and put his six magic knives into the Jiefeng of Space one by one. "Prince Rong, I'm leaving."
Prince Rong nodded and said, "Let's go. You are wearing ice-melting clothes now. Since you look similar, no one will stop you. I think we will meet again soon."
Taking a deep breath, and taking a deep look at Prince Rong's deep eyes, Nian Bing found that the hatred in his heart had faded a bit, and couldn't help but secretly. Is this what blood is thicker than water? No matter how much I look at him, no matter how many wrong things he has done to me and my father before, he is still my grandfather after all. Now Nian Bing understands why his father never resisted when he faced Prince Rong. Without saluting, he turned around and walked towards the door. When he opened the study door, his footsteps stopped, "If I avenge my parents, maybe I will return to this home."
Nian Bing's figure disappeared. Prince Rong sat back in his chair as if suddenly a few years older, his deep eyes became blank, his hands were trembling slightly, "Tian'er, Tian'er, are you really dead? Don't worry Come on, I will seek justice for you, you are always my son! It seems that in my few old age, I will spend in battle." Goodbye Nian Bing, knowing the reason for his son's death According to news, Prince Rong Rongyan has made a decision. He raised his head and looked at the far north, "Wait for me, we will have a chance to meet again."
As soon as Nian Bing walked out of the room, he met Rong Bing who was waiting anxiously. Seeing that Nian Bing was unharmed, Rong Bing breathed a sigh of relief, "How is it? Did Grandpa make things difficult for you?"
Nian Bing shook his head and said: "No. And he returned all my knives to me. Brother, there is something I have to tell you. I will also participate in the new magician competition in more than a month."
Rong Bing said indifferently: "That's good! Since Grandpa chose to let you participate, it proves that your strength is higher than mine. Nian Bing, it seems that you have not been abandoned these years."
"No, brother, you misunderstood. Although I want to participate, I don't represent the Huarong Empire. I represent the Magician Union of the Ice Moon Empire. Maybe we will meet on the field."
Rong Bing frowned slightly, and said: "You represent the Ice Moon Empire Magician Union? It's okay, even if we meet on the field, it's nothing."
Nian Bing grabbed Rong Bing's shoulder, "Brother, promise me, if we meet on the field, you must not be merciful?"
A smile flashed in Rong Bing's eyes, "Don't worry, I won't show mercy. However, I hope we don't meet too early, that way, we can remove more obstacles, can't we?"
Nian Bing obviously didn't expect Rong Bing to be so indifferent to the competition, "Brother, if I win the championship in the end, will you blame me?"
Rong Bing laughed, and said, "Do you think I'm that kind of person? The championship is won by ability. You won the championship, which can only mean that you have this ability. I can only be happy for you."
"Then I'm leaving. Prince Rong didn't make it difficult for me. Remember the address I gave you. If you need anything, you can find me there." The matter here is over and there is no need to stay.
Rong Bing nodded and said with a smile: "Then I won't see you off, you can go out as you come in. It seems that I have to hide for a while before reappearing."
Nian Bing smiled and said: "Yes! We really look alike, but, brother! You seem to have a lot of romantic debts. I was mistaken by two of your confidante on the first day I arrived in Dutian City. In the future, if the sisters-in-law treat me as you, it will be troublesome."
Hearing Nian Bing's teasing, Rong Bing couldn't help but blushed, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not married yet, where's your sister-in-law? I don't have so many confidante! Who did you meet?"
Nian Bing said: "One is Brother Mei's younger sister, and the other one is called Yinuo, in your favor, that Miss Yinuo also gave me a very useful magic item, even the money for me Handed in. Brother, if you see her next time, you should thank her. Hehe."
Rong Bing smiled wryly and said, "So you were talking about the two of them. Miss Mei and I have nothing to do with each other. It's just that she keeps pestering me unilaterally. His brother knows how to make things worse when he's fine."
Nian Bing's eyes moved, and he smiled and said: "So, what does that Miss Yinuo have to do with you?"
Rong Bing sighed softly, and said: "It's just a political marriage. Her full name is Hua Yinuo, and she is the most beloved granddaughter of Emperor Huatian. We have been married since we were young, and we should get married in two years. Fortunately, I am lucky, Yinuo does not have the arrogance of the royal family, but you have even fooled her, it seems that we are really similar!"
Nian Bing smiled and said: "Now I'm relieved, it's nothing to accept a gift from a genuine sister-in-law. When you get married, I will definitely give you a big gift."
"Okay, your boy was smiling when he escaped from grandpa, hurry up, it won't be good if we meet someone else together." Rong Bing said with a smile.
Nian Bing sighed softly, and said: "Brother, do you know? I haven't been so relaxed for a long time. It feels so good to be with you. Before, I had to do everything to myself. Now that I see you, at least my If you have a believer in your heart, you don't need to wear a mask to be a man anymore. Brother, I'm leaving, take care of yourself." Squeezing his brother's shoulder hard, Nian Bing turned and left.
When I returned to the hotel, it was already afternoon, and Nian Bing’s neck was already beating. I didn’t feel it because of my nervousness before, but now I relaxed, and the feeling of iron hunger continued to invade. He was very tired and didn't bother to go out to eat, so he ordered some food at random in the hotel. Hearing these ordinary foods, he couldn't help but miss his cooking skills. He was busy practicing magic recently, and he owed a lot to his stomach. After the first competition, you must cook a big meal to comfort yourself, and at the same time let your brother taste your own craftsmanship.
After the meal, meditation took up most of Nian Bing's time. When he woke up from meditation, his mana and mental power had all recovered. He took out the magic note that Melting Bing gave him and looked at it. Although the two practiced different routes, Melting Bing was also a mage after all. For the understanding of magic, these detailed annotations are much better than magic books. Soon, Nian Bing read it, just like in the library, and devoted himself to the knowledge of magic.
However, this situation did not last too long, because there was a knock on the door.
"Nian Bing, are you there?" Melting Bing's familiar voice came from outside the door, waking Nian Bing up from reading. He hurriedly jumped off the bed and came to the door to welcome Rong Bing in.
"Brother, why are you here? The Rising Magician Contest is about to begin, don't you need to practice more?" Nian Bing looked at his brother in surprise.
Melting Bing smiled and said: "After all, the effect of sharpening a gun is limited. I have confidence in myself. Look at what this is." While talking, he took out a book from the secretary and gave it to Nian Bing. It is not a real book, but a stack of papers strung together with thread. Nian Bing took it over and took a look, only to see a few large characters written on the first page, the complete collection of remnants of ancient magic circles and annotations. Opening it again, I saw that the handwriting on the paper was still fresh. This is obviously a transcribed book!
Looking up, Nian Bing saw the bloodshot eyes in Rong Bing's eyes, no need to ask, he also knew what happened to his brother, Nian Bing's eyes were moist, "Brother, you"
Rong Bing smiled and said: "Look, see if you need it, you must be better than me in the magic circle, I fainted when I saw such a complicated symbol. You need to work harder! I think, this book It should be enough for you to study for a period of time. I copied it from more than a dozen books on magic circles. They are all extremely complicated ancient magic circles. , it should be of great use to you."
Nian Bing tightly squeezed the paper in his hand, this is the crystallization of Rong Bing who didn't sleep all night! After twelve years, my brother hasn't changed at all, he is still as good to himself as before.
"Okay, my brother, if you say something grateful, don't blame me for turning against you. You finally came back, let's go, I will take you out to taste the delicious food of our capital Tiancheng. Magic research is not in a hurry, too It's not good to be tired." Saying that, he pulled Nian Bing up and walked out.
yes! There is no need to say thank you between brothers. Some things are much better with actions than words. Nian Bing carefully put the stack of paper and the note into the ring of space, and then followed Melting Bing out of the hotel. Before leaving the hotel, Nian Bing changed his appearance and hair with the newly obtained brooch, and the hair turned black. Under the influence of the main force, some inconspicuous changes have taken place on his face, his facial features have only changed a little, but together, he is completely different from before, he is also a handsome young man, but now he will not give People feel that he is similar to Melting Bing.
"Brother, you have worked hard all night, so you don't have to entertain me, go back and rest quickly. Maintaining a good mental strength is what a magician must do." Nian Bing looked at the trace of tiredness in Rong Bing's eyes, and couldn't bear it for a while. , This is all because of myself!
Rong Bing smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, I will eat even if you don't eat it! You also know that I worked hard all night, so why don't I comfort myself. It's almost noon, and I'll go back after dinner Meditate." He had already said so, and Nian Bing couldn't refuse Melting Bing's kindness anymore, and the two of them took big strides and walked towards the most prosperous city center of Dutian City.
While walking, Rong Bing explained the surrounding buildings to Nian Bing, like a guide, speaking happily, except for the occasional tiredness in his eyes, it was hard to tell from his appearance that he hadn't slept all night.
"Look, our destination for today is ahead. This restaurant is quite famous. Although the restaurant is not big, the food they make is absolutely top-notch and the price is cheap. I have always been very picky with my mouth, but He is a frequent visitor here. Even grandpa often asks his servants to buy food from here and go back to eat." While speaking, Rong Bing pointed to a shop not far ahead.
Nian Bing looked around, and saw not far ahead, a two-story shop was full of people, and there was a long queue outside. The plaque above the shop had two gilded characters - extremely fresh. Seeing this, he couldn't help smiling slightly, and said, "This shop is so big! What do they do? Seafood?"
Rong Bing shook his head and said, "Of course not. Seafood can be found everywhere, but they are unique here. Come on, brother won't lie to you, just try it and you'll know."
While talking, Rong Bing pulled Nian Bing around the long queue to the front of the store, and the waiter at the door who was in charge of maintaining order immediately greeted him, "My lord, you're here, it's still the same place .”
Facing outsiders, Rong Bing no longer had the gentle smile towards Nian Bing, his face was covered with a layer of coldness, he didn't even bother to say anything, he just nodded.
The waiter seemed to be used to seeing him like this, and hurriedly led the two into the Jixian Hotel.
Someone in the long queue at the door of the store said in surprise, "Didn't you say there is no room inside? Why did they just go in."
Another person disdainfully said: "Xiaomian, you are new here. You don't even know the little prince of Prince Rong's mansion. Prince Rong's family is for the country and the people. If they don't eat, we won't agree. Let's eat later I can't starve you to death."
Although the last person spoke very rudely, the person who spoke first didn't even dare to fart, and hurriedly lowered his head and continued to line up honestly.
Nian Bing and Rong Bing walked into the Jixian Hotel. As soon as they entered the door, they were greeted with a strong and fresh smell with the fragrance of medicine. Nian Bing's nose was taken away twice, and his eyes could not help showing a surprised light. From the mixed umami, he couldn't tell what the raw materials were. The reason was simple, because there were too many raw materials in this mixed flavor diet, and it couldn't be determined in a short while.
This hotel is very characteristic, each table is separated by bamboo curtains, you can only vaguely see someone inside, but you can't see clearly. The waiter led Nian Bing and Rong Bing to a table at the innermost window on the first floor. When jumping over other tables, you can see through the bamboo curtain that there are already people inside, only this one is empty. with.
This location is very good, as long as you lift up the bamboo curtain, you can see everything on the street clearly. Although there are many people in the store, it is not noisy.
Rong Bing smiled and said, "Just the two of us, let's sit here. Although it's not a private room, I like the air here. The private rooms on the second floor can seat more than a dozen people, so there's no need for us."
Hearing Rong Bing's simple words, Nian Bing couldn't help getting to know his elder brother a little better. As his little prince, it's okay to leave a private room for many years, but he only left a small table. This simple style is deeply in line with Nian Bing's heart.
Melting Bing raised his head and said to the waiter, "It's the same as before, but today we need to add eight more materials, so you can choose according to your choice. Get the best one."
The waiter agreed and turned around.
After a while, a large casserole was brought in. There was an iron square box on the front of the casserole, and I don't know what was in it. The waiter skillfully opened one side of the square box, took out a fire pocket from his arms, and put it inside. Suddenly, with a pop, flames burst out from the top of the box, baking the bottom of the casserole.
Nian Bing looked at the small iron box in surprise, not understanding how it was done, and Rong Bing saw the doubts in his heart. He smiled and said: "This is the first method of this store. In fact, the method is very simple, but the cost is very high. So, don't look at the small store here. In fact, the food is a bit more expensive than the big restaurants outside. You know Is there something in this iron box? It is high-grade spirits, and the spirits that have not been blended in any way are ignited with fire, and naturally become the best things to heat, and their biggest feature is that there is no smoke."
Wine, Nian Bing couldn't help but be moved when he heard the word. As a top chef, the sudden awakening made him think of many things, not only heating, but also the cooking methods of many dishes. The strong aroma of wine is used in the dishes. to very good effect.
While Nian Bing was thinking about his own cooking skills, the waiter opened the lid of the casserole and walked out. The strong aroma of Nian Bi attracted Nian Bing to look into the pot. He was surprised to find that it turned out to be a pot of porridge , under the heating of the flame, dense bubbles are rolling, and the aroma comes from the porridge. Nian Bing sniffed, and couldn't help but admire: "Good porridge, although it is white porridge on the surface, there is an old hen in it." The thick juice is boiled, and some specially selected medicines are ground into powder, I think, there should be wolfberry, Sanqi, um, there are one or two that I can't smell clearly."
This time it was Rong Bing's turn to be surprised, "Brother, you know better than me whether you have eaten here before. After eating so many times, I don't even know what is in his porridge."
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said: "Brother, your brother is not only a magician, but also a chef! I have a chance to let you taste my craftsmanship."
While talking, the waiter came up again. There were eight dishes of ingredients in the large tray in his hand, including four kinds of vegetables and four kinds of meat. , Chicken and pork, whether it is tea or meat, are all raw without any processing. Seeing this scene, Nian Bing couldn't help being surprised and said: "Is it porridge for cooking?"
Rong Bing picked up the plate of chrysanthemum chrysanthemum and put it into the porridge, and said with a smile: "Yes, it is cooked with porridge. What we operate here is a hundred-flavored porridge pot. The porridge itself tastes very good. Every time you add a material, The taste will change, it’s definitely delicious! Moreover, the nutritional value is also very high.” While speaking, he stirred the pot with a spoon, so that the chrysanthemum and white porridge were fully blended together.
This is the first time Nian Bing has seen this novel way of eating, and he couldn’t help but be very interested. Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum is easy to cook, and it shrinks when heated. The melting ice served him a bowl and put it in front of him. At the same time, he also filled a bowl for himself. Then another plate of pork was placed, "Try it quickly, don't you say that you are a chef? How about tasting the deliciousness of this porridge pot."
Delicious white porridge with green vegetables, Ye Wudao's changes really surprised Nian Bing, these days, he was the first time to eat such a delicious thing, after a while, a bowl of delicious porridge has already been eaten. Melting ice keeps putting plates of ingredients into the pot. As he said, every time a material is added, the taste of the porridge pot will change. When the porridge in the porridge pot is reduced to a certain level, the waiter Will come with prepared porridge. After the first eight plates of ingredients were eaten, another eight plates of various seafood, such as squid, crab meat, etc., were served, and the taste changed more frequently. Both Nian Bing and Rong Bing were young men with fresh blood. They both had a big appetite, and they ate three pots of white porridge and sixteen plates of ingredients before stopping in satisfaction.
"Brother, this is really a good place. Seeing this method of cooking has inspired me a lot. It really deserves to be a hundred flavors porridge pot!" Nian Bing looked at the empty pot in front of him in admiration. At this time, the pot in the iron box below The spirits had already been burned, and the waiter brought up a plate of fruit for the two to clear their mouths. After eating two pieces of fruit, Nian Bing said: "Brother, I'm a little anxious, just wait for me."
Melting Bing smiled and said: "Go to the table after eating, you are really straight, go, go out and turn right, go to the head and turn left and you will see the place of reincarnation of the five grains." After finishing speaking, he winked at Nian Bing blinked.
Nian Bing got up and went, Rong Bing's eyes showed a knowing smile, and he was eating fruit leisurely. At this moment, he suddenly heard some noise outside, so he couldn't help lifting the bamboo curtain to look out, only to see that the outside was responsible for maintaining The orderly waiter was politely declining a girl. Seeing this girl, even Melting Bing, whose eyes were above the top, couldn't help but feel a little dazed. This girl is so beautiful, even though she was wearing a long aqua blue dress, she wasn't very neat. , but it can't conceal his peerless youth. His long pink hair is scattered behind his back, looking a little messy, and his dusty appearance is heartbreaking. His beautiful face is covered with a layer of frost, and he is slightly angry. Said: "I haven't come here for a long time. You have many rules here. I don't eat here. Can I take it away? I drove a long way and I am very hungry."
The waiter was also fascinated by the girl's appearance, but Jixian store has strict regulations, so he had no choice but to say: "I'm sorry girl, we have rules here, and we don't take out. You can see that there is such a long line outside. If you want to If you are dining with us, please go to the back and get rid of it, the rules cannot be broken!" As soon as the waiter said this, before the girl could speak, someone in the crowd said: "Girl, come to my place, fast wheel It's my time, if you don't mind, how about having a meal with us at the same table?" As soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of echo.
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the stunning girl, "No need, thank you for your kindness, I don't believe that there is no place to eat in the big city of Dutian."
