"The ice phoenix, a mythical beast that only appears in legends, is not a rotten street thing like the fire phoenix. After it has lived for hundreds of years, it knows that its fate is about to end, and it must find a cold neem that has also lived for hundreds of years to live in, and when it dies, it will refine the essence of its life for a stone, which is now the 'long stay' of the staff. Count Onein continued.

After hearing this, Alvin secretly said to himself, this fire phoenix is not a rotten street thing, and he has seen it a few times in Tide's magic academy. So he couldn't help but sigh to his father in the sky: "Look, this earl is richer than you." ”

However, he was still a little puzzled, and thought to himself: "Why do you have to find a hundred-year-old neem to use as a tomb? What if you don't find it?"

Onian looked at the doubts flashing on Alwin's face, and answered with a smile: "This long stone, once it is separated from this hundred-year-old neem wood, will immediately turn into ice powder and dissipate with the wind. ”

As soon as Alvin mentioned it, he understood, "It turns out that this long-lingering stone that stores the Ice Phoenix Essence can only survive by absorbing the nutrients in this hundred-year-old neem tree at the lower end. ”

So he whispered in Onian's ear, "You mean, it's a 'living' staff?"

Onian nodded slightly, "So, those ice phoenixes would rather die in the wind and snow than perch on the branches of the ordinary neem tree." Because the ordinary neem tree can't support this long-standing stone at all. ”

Alvin couldn't help but think again: "What kind of plant is this hundred-year-old neem?"

O'Nian looked at Alwyn at this time, it was tantamount to looking at a fool, and the expression of hatred on her face couldn't be vented, so she whispered impatiently: "Cold neem, as the name suggests, this kind of tree can naturally only survive in cold places. But even if he can survive, as O'Nein said, he will live for a few decades at most, and if he has to survive for a hundred years, it will be one in ten thousand. ”

Alvin glared back at her and said softly, "I'm not stupid, I guess I can roughly guess what it means, I'm just thinking about something else." ”

With that, he snatched the staff from O'Ann's hand. When he sensed it with his magic power, he really felt the cold air of the vast ocean and heavy mountains hidden in the long stone, which was even more bone-chilling and cold than the ice and snow in the Natra Mountains. In addition, he could also perceive the lonely and mournful soul of the ice phoenix wandering among them, sometimes angry like a gossamer, sometimes violent like a river and sea.

"If you use this staff to unleash a frosty ice and snow magic, then what is it worth? For Oniehn, wouldn't it be a wave of his sleeve, a glacier?" Alwin thought to himself.

"Lord Earl, are you going to give me such a valuable staff?" Alvin asked as he finished playing with the priceless staff and put it back in the delicate wooden box, then turned his face and smiled at Oeine.

"Or else?" said Count Onein, laughing, "Mr. Elwyn will not understand the reason why the sword is given to the hero, as long as you and your beautiful and powerful wife are willing to serve in my legion, this staff can be taken today." ”

"It's tempting indeed. Alvin nodded and said sincerely, "But I'm still saying that, we don't have any plans to do that for the time being." ”

With that, Alvin closed the wooden box and pushed it back.

A flash of annoyance flashed between Earl Onein's eyebrows, fleeting, but Alvin caught it clearly.

Of course, this was also expected by Alvin.

It was a characteristic anger expressed by the aristocracy at the commoners' "ignorance". At this time, Alvin began to understand why the "ecumenical" church could have so many fans in the north.

"I'm sorry to have let down your enthusiasm, Your Excellency. Alvin stood up to take his leave, a polite smile still on his lips.

O'Ann followed suit.

"Do you really not think about it anymore?" said Count Aunein, still unrelenting, "but I haven't mentioned my salary yet?"

Alvin smiled and shook his head, but the refusal was clear.

The two of them were going to go to the front door after coming down from the upstairs study, but Alvin decided to take a look into the garden. It turned out that the garden was empty, and the guests had already left, leaving the servants to clean the garden and remove the tables and snacks.

But what he really cares about is the little blonde girl named Theresia and the Kigoshi who was seriously injured by him.

But these two people are nowhere to be found.

"Are you thinking about that Theresia?" asked Oneen, glancing at Elwin.

Alwyn nodded, lost in thought, not realizing that there was something else in Ornian's words.

"Well, don't get me wrong," Alvin reacted, "I'm just wondering what's going on with her guard. ”

"What did I misunderstand, but you've always had strange tastes anyway. Onian said lightly.

"Look, you're thinking crooked again. I don't like pretty girls. Alwyn explained with a sense of reason.

"I don't know if I like it or not, but there is an upside down, and you will not refuse to come. I'm talking about the girl named Fia. Onian said coldly, and pointed to the gate of the Earl's Court as she said this. By this time, the two had already walked out of the Earl's Court and went out into the street.

Alwyn's face froze, and he didn't know what to answer.

"That Theresia is dangerous. O'Annie didn't pursue Elwin's dewy marriage too much, and before he could reply, she pulled the topic back and gave him a staircase, "Her man's body has been magically modified. ”

"Well, the makeover is very thorough. I was forced to use a new trick. Thinking of the battle just now, Alwyn said with a cold face, "I really don't dare to use other magic, if he absorbs the magic energy again, I'll be done." ”

"Or I would say she's dangerous. ”

"You mean, that body was modified by Theresia?"

"Why else is the little poisonous woman so afraid that you will destroy her toys?"

"Heh, that makes sense. Alwyn sneered at the thought of the magic flying behind him.

"Little Poisonous Woman?。。。 Then Alwyn repeated the word in his mouth a few times, "Ha, it looks like you hate her too." ”

"I'm just reminding you. Even if you know that you will die at the hands of a woman sooner or later, you can't be at the hands of this kind of goods. Onian said lightly. "You must know that in this world, not all beautiful women are as stupid as the one from the Resa family. ”

She thought that the red-haired girl in the south should be the same kind of person as herself.

"It's strange that you would praise her. Alvin raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Onien glanced at Alwyn and sighed in her heart: "Yes, praise her for her bad eyes, and I also have bad eyes, if you are not blind, how can you take a fancy to you bastard... ”

"By the way, aren't you thinking of a way to put down roots in the north, why did Count Aunet want to keep you, but you directly refused?" asked Ornie Ann with a second thought.

"He can't do it. Alvin said lightly. On one point, Alwyn admired the eyes of the relaxed man.

"Didn't you just fish in troubled waters?" said Onian, pointedly.

"Ha, forget it, don't be burdened by it then. Alwyn shook his head with a smile and said, glancing at O'Ann teasingly, "Or are you thinking about that staff?"

"You're trying to get it for me. Onian was not pretentious, but said bluntly, without even turning her face to look at him when she said this.

When Alwyn heard this, he stopped, his jaw almost fell to the ground without holding it, and he looked at Onian in surprise, and sighed in his heart: "What day is today, so strange!"

At the same time, in the study of the Count of Onein, the counts and the two were sitting and discussing things.

"Why? "Your staff has not been able to impress people?" said the countess, smiling at the delicate wooden box, "It seems that this thing is not as valuable as you say." Or are they laymen? Can't see the way out?"

"Strange is that, they know how to do it, and know that this staff is a rare treasure," said the Earl, recalling the scene below, "but they refused." ”

"That's weird, if it's really as valuable as you say, they won't like it?, is there anything in this world that can't look down on treasures?" the countess was surprised, "Then have you tried to change Looney? Maybe people are more interested in the actual ones?"

"Hmph, I didn't even pay for it, and Alvin refused. "The Count is not angry.

"Probably not, it's not that it's not a nobleman. The Countess looked incredulous, "I really don't like anything?"

"Look at the temperament and demeanor of those two people, you said that they are not nobles, do you believe it yourself?"

"What kind of painters are we pretending to be, good nobles?" said the countess.

The Earl thought for a moment and sighed, "I can't think of it either. I've never heard of these two characters at all. ”

"In short, this couple is not a good couple. The Earl thought of Alwin's strange figure and Onien's impassivity, and said so.

"Then or ... A twinkle flashed in the countess's eyes.

"You are stupid, what kind of good player has even been beaten under your brother-in-law, such as Qi Yue? The Count was disgusted that his wife had begun to come up with some bad ideas again, and his tone was rather unpleasant.

"What then?" asked the Countess.

The Earl looked impatiently at his wife, who was not very bright-minded, and said in a rough voice: "What can I do, take one step at a time, as long as they don't provoke anything wrong, stay in this Zantz City." ”

"Besides, when people come up to refuse my invitation, they may just be waiting for the price to sell, or a means to raise their own price. You can't just kill someone if you don't like it. That's trying to drive everyone to the nouveau riche of the 'old barrel'. ”

The Countess was taught a lesson and stopped talking.

"But your niece is getting bolder and bolder, and she likes to cause trouble. Even if Alven had killed him just now, I wouldn't have much to say. The Count grumbled.

"I didn't see what you said, she gave Kiyue a look or something. The Countess retorted.

"Hey, you're used to her," said the Earl, annoyed, "and look at the girls in your own house, how you are used to them." You see if anyone will dare to marry them in the future. ”

The countess's expression was faint, and she didn't seem to care much about the marriage of her daughters.

"By the way, what about the Theresians?" asked the Count, turning his mind.

"I went back to Newfando with that Qiyue, and when I left just now, I was crying, saying that I had caused us trouble. The Countess said this with a sad look on her face.

"Let's go, this girl is a scourge. The Count said coldly.

"What are you talking nonsense, how can my niece be a scourge!" The Countess was angry when she heard this, and obviously, her patience had reached a certain limit, "You have to remember that there is no such thing as my brother-in-law, and there is no you O'Nein today." ”

The Earl had been accustomed to hearing this rhetoric all these years, and was tired of even the thunderous emotions, so he simply didn't bother to argue now, turned his face away from his wife, and waved his hand directly to tell her to get out of his study.

When his wife threw the door away in a huff, he was thinking about another question.

"How did my little daughter know Alwin?"
