Chapter 2253 One of the Twins
The "mud" in the corner of the Buckingham Palace...or the will behind the "mud" has not spoken for a long time.
However, in the past few days, the place is no longer so dead and quiet—because the owner here, except for one appointment at sea, was uncharacteristically in the rest of the time, and never left as often as when he first arrived not long ago , but sat on the throne for a rare long time.
Not for anything else, just because the army of living corpses he sent to capture before finally arrived at the territory on the outskirts of London. Therefore, this time, many individuals with potential in wisdom have been discovered one after another.
"Master, three more clan members who meet the criteria have been screened out."
A high-level living corpse reported the situation below, and the figure sitting on the throne nodded quickly after hearing it.
"knew."
The hoarse and heavy voice sounded from the depths of the hall, echoing faintly in the empty hall. This made the high-ranking zombie below become more respectful.
After a short pause, the voice continued:
"How many... how many were selected from these two days?"
"A total of twelve."
"Well, we can bring them all here."
"Yes, master."
The brief conversation ended here, and the high-level living corpse lowered its head slightly and prepared to leave the hall to transfer people. But at the moment when he was about to turn around and go out, he heard the voice behind him speak again:
"By the way, let's also call 'Swallow' together...Oh, just call 'Sister'."
The twin siblings have no names, only when they are together, they have a title called "Swallowing", which is given to them by the master. Therefore, when they need to be called separately occasionally, the older sister is called "sister" and the younger brother is called "younger brother".
Such a way of calling would naturally be very strange in the human world, and it would certainly be very inconvenient in life.
But they are living corpses, and among the living corpses, there are really very few who can retain their relationship in life. Even if they were father and son, mother and daughter, or the most intimate lovers, they will never leave any traces after they die once.
So here,
The identities and titles of the twins will not be a problem - "Swallow" is just a name, and "sister" or "brother" is the same.
But the problem right now is that the master only handed over the "sister" side.
...
The twins have no territory now, because the master no longer needs them to be a pair of small guards outside. They now have more important work to do, and that is to open up more passages in this London Ice Palace.
Cutting ice is not an easy task. The huge city of London is frozen solid, and it is really big. However, this pair of siblings worked very seriously and devotedly. After all, this was the work assigned by the master, and even they themselves did not allow themselves to be lazy.
"laugh--"
The girl held a bright torch, and the flame on top was emitting a steady high temperature, gradually melting the ice in front of her.
The young man, on the other hand, held up an iron pickaxe and hammered the ice melted by the high-temperature torch, tirelessly.
"Ding...ding...ding...ding."
The sound of the pickaxe hitting the ice echoed faintly along the ice tunnel dug by the siblings to the rear.
But at some point, there was a series of footsteps in the reverberation of the gouging.
"Stop it!"
The elder sister said something to the younger brother, and then turned around, lighting up the way when she came. Not long after, a figure came out from the darkness where the brilliance could not find, and came in front of her.
"Master told you to go to the main hall."
The one who came was naturally the high-level living corpse who bowed his head and reported in the hall.
"Okay." The girl nodded, then turned around and beckoned to her younger brother, "Go, the master wants us to go there."
But at this moment, the high-level living corpse shook his head.
"No, the master only called you, he doesn't have to go."
Before the words fell, the boy behind the girl suddenly frowned and looked at him, as if trying to tell if he was lying—their siblings are always together, how could the master only call her sister and not him? Woolen cloth?
He was about to speak, but soon the girl waved her hand lightly, stopping his questioning.
"Then you stay here and continue to work, be diligent and don't be sloppy."
The girl handed the torch in the boy's hand, then gently stroked her long hair and pulled her clothes, sorting out her somewhat messy appearance due to recent busyness.
She is probably the smartest among all the living corpses, and also the one who can understand the master's thoughts the most. She knows that the master doesn't like messy appearance... Although, living corpses are transformed from corpses, they are usually messy by nature.
And after hearing what his sister said, the boy had no choice but to let go of his doubts and unhappiness—of course he would not feel any displeasure with his master, he just didn't trust anyone other than his master and his sister, including the fellow in front of him. He took the torch from his sister, and then watched the other party follow the clansman away from the tunnel dug out.
After a while, the sound of the iron pick hitting the ice wall sounded again, ding ding ding ding, a little messier than before.
On the other hand, the girl actually had some doubts in her heart.
The two siblings have been together since they woke up, worked under the original master, and then met the current master, and gained 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. Because whether it is their identical natural abilities, or their complementary and tacit understanding of thoughts and actions, there seems to be no reason to separate them.
Their siblings have long been used to being together.
So the girl wondered, why did the master only find her this time? Why not call my brother too? She very much believes that if their siblings are together, everything should be more efficient.
But since the master said that, she should do that. On this point, neither she nor her brother would have any objections.
Not long after, she followed that clansman to the entrance of the main hall, and then she saw another clansman leading more than a dozen fellow clansmen with ignorant eyesight and different expressions.
So she stopped and waited for all the fellow clansmen to go in before she was reminded by the high-ranking corpse in front of her and followed into the hall.
