Chapter 1412: Bird and Anomaly

This bird is really fat.

Standing on the balcony of the palace, overlooking the large snow chickens pecking at grains in the garden, the blue-haired young man with a firm and heroic face couldn't help but curl his lips with satisfaction.

Before, when Melly caught these snow chickens from the Hexagon Snow Mountains and insisted on raising them in the garden, he felt that the pets she chose were very annoying, wishing he could throw all these fat chickens that were chirping all day long out.

But recently, taking advantage of her diplomatic mission, he let the cook catch two and stew them, and found that Melly's eye was really sharp. The fat chickens she brought back tasted not just good.

Recalling the rich flavor of those two pots of stewed chicken before, Harvey, the current king of the Northern Kingdom, couldn't help but move his throat slightly and swallowed subconsciously.

Hearing the strange movement from the blue-haired young man's side, and seeing his back standing with his hands behind his back facing him, an old man in gorgeous clothes who had just arrived at the door couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

King Harvey had given him a death order before, no matter what, he had to find out the source of the abnormality in the underground Heat River. If he couldn't do it, he would make him "look good."

With the intense means of King Harvey, which were no less than the old king, the "look good" in his mouth was definitely not a bluff. It would be the best result for this Minister of the Pipeline Department to resign, and it was possible to be hanged directly for dereliction of duty.

But he took people to drill down the pipe furnace and soaked in the underground Heat River in the shallow layer for a week, but still didn't find a single hair, and the damn underground Heat River was still rising every day, looking like it was about to surge back into the city through the pipe furnace.

However, at this critical moment, King Harvey suddenly asked him to come over and stood on the balcony with his back to him, looking at the pipe furnace leaking water in the palace. The meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.

"Your Majesty!"

Understanding that no matter whether he stretched his head or shrank his head, he had to take this knife, the old man in gorgeous clothes, whose legs were soft, had to stagger a few steps into the room, and then took the initiative to admit his mistake with grief:

"Your Majesty! I... I have failed your heavy trust!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing the old man's tragic shout, the blue-haired young man on the balcony was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly pulled his gaze away from the fat snow chickens and turned back to smile:

"Lord Isaac, you are exaggerating."

I am exaggerating? What does it mean that I am exaggerating? Is it that this matter is not enough to "fail heavy trust," or... am I not worthy of "heavy trust"?

Looking up in panic and glancing at the blue-haired young man, looking at his more aggressive eyes (craving chicken) than before, the old man's face turned pale.

It's over, this look is definitely saying the opposite!

"Your Majesty! The old man really tried his best to investigate!"

For this young but very shrewd Majesty, thinking of the end of those who were incompetent and lied to deceive, the old man really didn't dare to prevaricate, so he had to raise his hands soaked white and beg for mercy:

"Your Majesty! The old man has been in the Heat River for the past few days, sleeping less than three hours a day, and has checked almost all the places that can be checked. Although I couldn't find the reason for the rising water of the underground Heat River, but... but..."

But you have tried your best, and according to the old man's statement, this matter involves the enemies of the Cleaning Bureau, and it is not something you, an ordinary person, can figure out... Speaking of which, are you so afraid? Am I such an unreasonable person?

Looking at the old man who was incoherent with fear because of his attitude, the blue-haired young man couldn't help but cough awkwardly, while reflecting on whether he was too harsh on officials, and squeezed out a smile:

"Lord Isaac, you misunderstood, I didn't mean to blame you."

You didn't mean to blame me... Could it be that you feel it's no longer necessary?

Hearing the comfort from the "cold-blooded King Harvey," looking at the blue-haired young man who was smiling but not smiling in front of him, the old man not only didn't relax, but his face turned paler.

The style of this blue-haired young man, the King of the North, is tougher than the storm on the Northern ice sheet and more severe than the glacier of the Hexagon Snow Mountains. Although he is not stingy with rewards for capable subordinates, he is often merciless in punishing incompetent and mediocre people, and even those who make mistakes. He usually scolds people for even small mistakes. This time, facing the bad situation that could cause the entire Heat River City to suffer, he actually comforted himself and said it was not his problem...

How is this possible!

The premise for this situation is either I am crazy, or he is crazy... No! He is crazy! I'm afraid he has been angered crazy long ago!

Although this series of guesses is extremely illogical in detail, tension and fear have already filled his brain, and the old man, whose heart was surging wildly, strangely ignored all the irrationality and reached the final conclusion.

I'm dead!

"Lord Isaac, this matter is beyond your ability, you really can't do it."

After trying to help him up twice, looking at the old man on the carpet shaking like a sieve, the blue-haired young man couldn't help but frown suspiciously, then got up and explained:

"The situation of the underground Heat River is a bit special. I have already found other people who specialize in dealing with this kind of thing and arranged for them to do it. You go back and wait, and by the way, think about how to deal with it if the pipe furnace is really crushed... You step down!"

Looking at the strange appearance of the old man who was both terrified and fearful, the blue-haired young man, who was usually cold, rarely became gentle once.

However, under the surging heart, the blood rushed to his brain, not only was he dizzy, but his ears were constantly buzzing. The world in the old man's ears began to be strangely separated and alternated, and he only heard a small part of the blue-haired young man's words.

"Isaac... you can't do it... I... find... someone else, you go back and wait... think... about it!"

I... why? Why!

The old man crawling on the ground gritted his teeth, then looked up, looked at the blue-haired man who coldly announced that he was going to execute himself, and then roared, and jumped up directly.

In the blue-haired young man's shocked expression, the old man's two withered hands, soaked white by water vapor, burst out with incomparably amazing strength, firmly stuck his throat, and the strength was so great that even his fingernails sank into the flesh of his neck.

"Actually let me die... then you accompany me to die together!"

"???"

Confused by this sudden scene, the blue-haired youth, who was being choked until he couldn't breathe, instinctively tried to pry off the hand gripping his throat while his eyes bulged, asking with great difficulty:

"You... crazy? Who... let you die?"

However, strangely, in the old man's eyes, the blue-haired young man in front of him, even if his throat was stuck, was still staring at him ferociously, and swore viciously that he must hang his entire clan!

"Then I'll kill you first!"

When the old man exerted force suddenly, there was also a sound of panic and anger from the chicken coop in the garden under the balcony. A group of snow chickens that were pecking at grains peacefully just now were fighting fiercely with their fat bodies.

And those fat chickens, whose eyes were blank and unfocused, and it was hard to tell if they could find their opponents, but they were pecking, tearing, kicking, and flapping, fighting until their snow feathers were stained red and their crops were cracked, and their expressions looked exactly the same as the old man who had fallen into madness.
