The Emperor's Daily Nitpicking by Mu Su Li 木苏里

Many years ago, a young man named Kevin was entrusted with the task of looking after the young master (turned out to be the heir to the throne) during spring break. Kevin had barely entered the reserve army, and he was not looking forward to spending his vacation babysitting a spoiled child. However, Kevin soon found that he had underestimated the boy. The young master (aka the prince) was arrogant and demanding. Kevin retaliated and made the young master’s life a living hell. Kevin was constantly inquired of the boy’s beck and call, and he was often subjected to the Kevin’s antics. Many years later, Kevin, the Commander of the Bronze Army who ‘just came back to life,’ returned to the royal city, and the person in charge of power had already changed. His close friend gloated: “Silly; I heard that you had beaten His Majesty several times when he was still seven-or-eight years old.” Kevin unconcernedly said: “The old account had passed so many years ago. He must have forgotten already.” Oswald: “The person you all thought highly of was a shadow-like childhood existence to me.” Kevin choked on a mouthful of red wine in his throat. Oswald propped up his chin, absent-mindedly said: “But now, the power I held was already above his. How should I retaliate then…?” Kevin: “…” Q: Long time ago, I had beaten up a brat. The brat became the top boss now. How long could I still live? A: After a good meal, you could go on your way.

Chapter 35.2

Oswald narrowed his eyes, stepped over the large and small gravel, walked towards Kevin, and said with a sneer, "Mr. Fassbender, do you enjoy using drugs? Why don't you bring back some more to put us all to sleep for the next century?"

Kevin: "..."

According to his usual personality, if he were not being careful at this time, he might have blurted out the words "the dosage was too high, I was afraid you would be confused," but now he shut his mouth for the first time and concentrated on beating back his boredom.

The young emperor who was walking towards him looked very calm, with no extra expressions other than his usual sneer.

Kevin, who had never been good at reading other people's faces, found it much more difficult to read this time. The more he looked, the more he felt that Oswald seemed to be suppressing some kind of anger that was about to erupt under his calm exterior.

However, there was a difference between this anger and a simple temper tantrum. Kevin could not describe the specific difference, but when he saw Oswald like this, he felt a little inexplicably guilty.

What have I done wrong?

Kevin mocked himself in his heart, pointed to the stone cup in front of him, and said, "Here—holy water."

Oswald walked up to him and gave him a cold look.

There was indeed a puddle of water in the small stone cup-shaped pool, accounting for about two-thirds of the volume of the stone cup.

This water had been stored underground for an unknown number of years, but it was still as clear as water. After the chaos just now, there was not even a layer of dust on the surface of the water, which showed that it was indeed very special.

When Oswald faced the holy water, he breathed a sigh of relief and his face softened slightly. However, when he looked up at Kevin again, his face turned faster than the book.

Kevin: "..."

He thought about it and asked again, "How did you get in?"

It was okay not to ask this question, but Oswald's face turned darker when he asked about it. For the first time, Kevin felt that he deserved to be slapped.

Oswald interrupted calmly, "What do you think? You think you were the first to enter, weren't you?"

Kevin, "..." My method was obviously different from yours.

The little lion on the side sat up with a bruised nose and a swollen face. Just as he was about to run over, he was grabbed by Dan and winked for a while.

Ben obviously could not understand the meaning of those large black faces crowded together, but he could not escape Dan's clutches, so he had to say and gesture to Kevin from a distance, "I'm telling you, you're awesome! We dug up all the soil in front of the thorns, and dug more than a meter deep! Guess what? We dug up piles of animal bones! Ah, there are skins, meat, and so on."

Kevin, "..."

Having said that, he suddenly remembered that in the dense forest of Andorha, Oswald once mentioned that when the priesthood received the letter and was in doubt, in order to confirm the credibility, they took someone to dig into Kevin's grave.

In addition to this time, the tomb of the gods was dug into twice in a short period of time, and the revenge for killing his father was nothing more than that.

When Kevin was entertaining himself and ridiculing himself in his head, Ben pointed to Oswald again and continued, "Your emperor said that the separated bones represent a curse, a curse on God! God, can you imagine this?!"

Kevin, "..." I'm still that unlucky ghost who was cursed, which you would never have imagined.

However, when he heard the curse, his expression was complicated for a moment, and then he quickly returned to his original state, asking, "Then?"

"Have you seen the lower part of the monument at the gate of the tomb?" Oswald finally said in a deep voice, "I found the words 'the dead lead the way' on it. I just borrowed them."

Kevin expressed admiration, "...you really are full of courage."

"Then—" Oswald stared into his eyes and said slowly, "How did you get in?"

Kevin was stunned for a moment by the question he threw back suddenly, but he quickly reacted. He raised his eyebrows at Oswald, glanced at the other people a little further away, leaned over and said in a low voice, "It's also the undead opening the way, but I don't need assistance, because I am the undead."

As he said, he stretched out his left hand behind his back and swiped at Oswald's wrist. "Did you forget? I'm a dead person."

Oswald: "..."

When Kevin raised his head, he saw that Oswald's expression had changed again. Kevin sighed inwardly, knowing that it was not easy for the emperor to keep up with the rapidly changing conversation.

"Did you know about the curse that was buried at the entrance of the tomb?" the emperor asked, his tone making it clear that he was not asking a question. "You did not seem surprised when Ben mentioned it just now."

"I suppose so," Kevin replied, shrugging. "I did not know about it at first, but I learned of it later."

The emperor frowned. "You said before that the reason you are in this situation is related to the tomb of Phae, and that you are involved in this curse?"

Kevin was impressed by the king's powers of association. "It is related, but it is not the whole story."
