The pool of "mud" in the corner of the main hall of Buckingham Palace... Or the will behind the "mud", has not spoken for a long time.
However, in recent days, it is no longer so quiet here - because the owner here, apart from going to the sea for an appointment, is abnormal in the rest of the time. He no longer leaves as often as when he first came not long ago, but sits firmly on the throne for a rare long time.
For nothing else, it was because the army of corpses he had sent to seize had finally arrived in the suburbs of London. Therefore, this time, many individuals with great potential in wisdom were found.
"Master, three more people who meet the standards were screened out."
A high-ranking corpse reported the situation below, and the figure sitting on the throne soon nodded his head after hearing it.
"I see."
The hoarse and heavy voice sounded in the depths of the hall and echoed faintly in the empty hall. This makes the high-level corpse below more respectful.
After a slight pause, the voice continued:
"How many... Did you pick out these two days?"
"Twelve in all."
"Well, you can bring them all."
"Yes, master."
The short conversation was over. The high-ranking corpse hung his head slightly and was ready to leave the hall and go out to transfer. Just at the moment when he was about to turn around and go out, he heard the voice behind him say again:
"By the way, call 'swallow' together... Oh, just call 'sister'."
Gemini brothers and sisters have no name. Only when they are together, they have a name called "devour", which is given to them by the master. Therefore, when you need to call separately at ordinary times, your sister is called "sister" and your brother is called "brother".
Such a way of address will naturally be very incredible in the human world, and it will inevitably be very inconvenient in life.
But they are living corpses. Among the living corpses, there are very few who can keep their relationship before they die. Some people, even if they were father and son, mother and daughter, and even the most intimate lovers, will never leave any traces after they die once.
So here, the identity and address of the Gemini will not be a problem - "devour" is just a name, and so is "sister" or "brother".
But the problem now is that the master only handed over the "sister".
……
Gemini now has no territory, because the master no longer needs them to be a pair of small guards outside. Now they have more important work to do, that is to open up more channels in the ice palace in London.
Ice drilling is not an easy task. The big city of London is frozen very hard, and it's really big. However, the brothers and sisters worked very seriously and invested. After all, this is the work assigned by the master. Even they themselves are not allowed to be lazy.
"Hiss -"
The girl held a bright torch, and the steady high temperature was emanating from the flame on the top, melting the cold ice in front.
The young man held up an iron pick and bit by bit chiseled the cold ice baked by the high-temperature torch.
"Ding... Ding... Ding... Ding."
The sound of the pickaxe tip tapping on the ice was transmitted to the rear along the ice channel dug by the sisters and brothers, and echoed faintly.
But I don't know when, in the echo of the chisel, there was suddenly a string of footsteps.
"Stop!"
The elder sister said a word to her younger brother, and then turned back to illuminate the passage when she came. Before long, a figure came out of the darkness that the light behind could not find and came to her.
"The master told you to go to the hall."
Naturally, it was the high-level corpse who had bowed his head and reported in the hall.
"OK." the girl nodded, then turned around and waved to her brother, "go, the master wants us to go."
But just then, the high-level corpse shook his head.
"No, the master only called you. He doesn't have to go."
Before the words fell, the young man behind the girl suddenly frowned and looked at him. It seemed that he wanted to tell whether he was lying - their siblings were always together. How could the master only call his sister instead of him?
He was about to speak, but soon saw the girl gently wave her hand to stop his inquiry.
"Then you stay here and continue to work. Be diligent and hurry up. Don't be careless."
The girl handed the torch in her hand to the boy, then gently stroked her long hair and pulled her clothes, so as to sort out her messy appearance because of her recent busy.
She is probably the smartest of all the living corpses and the one who can understand the owner's ideas best. She knows that the owner doesn't like messy appearance... Although the living corpses are transformed from corpses and are usually born messy.
After listening to his sister's words, the young man had to put down his doubts and unhappiness - of course, he would not be unhappy with his master. He just didn't trust anyone except his master and sister, including the same family in front of him. He took the torch from his sister's hand and watched the other party follow the clansman away from the excavated passage.
A moment later, the sound of the iron pick chiseling at the ice wall rang again, tinkling, tinkling, a little messy than before.
On the other hand, in fact, the girl's heart is also a little confused.
Their sister and brother have been together since they woke up. They worked under the original master, then met the current master, and got real wisdom, self and much more freedom than before.
It can be said that almost everyone regards their siblings as a whole, including their siblings themselves. No matter as like as two peas or their own natural abilities, they still have no reason to separate them.
Their brothers and sisters have long been used to being together.
So the girl wondered, why did the master only find her this time? Why don't you call your brother too? She believed very much that if they were together, they would do everything more efficiently.
But since the master said that, she should do it. On this point, neither she nor her brother will have any objection.
Not long after, she followed the ethnic group to the gate of the hall, and then she saw another ethnic group leading more than a dozen people with confused eyes and different expressions into the hall.
So she stopped and waited until all her relatives went in, and then she followed into the hall under the reminder of the high-ranking corpse in front of her.
