Chapter 384: Change of Mind

"You must be mistaken. Sean shook his head again and again, gargled his mouth and denied, "I have been with His Highness just now, and I have not left half a step, let alone become a golden giant eagle, and I have never heard of this kind of magic, Your Highness can testify for me." ”

Sean said as he winked at Sophia the moment Wendy turned around.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you testify to me that you also saw Baron Sean turn into a golden giant eagle, with lightning, translucent, very beautiful kind. Wendy anxiously asks Sophia for confirmation.

"Nope. Sophia looked worried, touched Wendy's forehead and said, "Did you spin around in the air and get dazed? Didn't Baron Sean order his giant eagle mount to send you down just now?

Sophia also gave Sean a look when Wendy wasn't paying attention, and waited for Sean to settle accounts with you.

"Ah......" Wendy was completely dumbfounded, shook her head again and again, "No, no, I'm definitely not mistaken, this kind of thing, how could I remember it wrong, it must be somewhere, it must be somewhere, it can't be that the two of you colluded to fool me, right?"

Wendy stared at Sean and Sophia suspiciously.

"No, how is that possible?" replied Sean and Sophia in unison.

"With such a neat answer, there must be a problem. Wendy was alert like a puppy, circling around Sean and Sophia.

She's just rough lines, and she's not stupid.

In the face of her scrutinizing gaze, Sean was calm and composed, and his expression was as sincere as he could.

Sophia was a little uncomfortable, her amber eyes twinkling slightly.

"There's definitely something going on between the two of you, be honest. Wendy said with her little hands behind her back and with a firm attitude.

Speaking unintentionally, the listener was intentional, Sophia picked up Wendy's ear again in annoyance, and said in a vicious voice: "Explain your size, you first honestly admit punishment to me, from today onwards, you will be grounded for a month and cut off snacks for a month." ”

"Don't!" Wendy screamed a hundred times worse than when she was in free fall, "I can't stop it, I can't break it, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore." ”

Sophia is well aware of Wendy's weakness.

"Don't dare to do anything?" said Sophia, striking while the iron was hot.

"Don't dare to talk nonsense. "Wendy is also a repeat offender, so she avoids the serious.

"Huh!?" Sophia snorted.

"Don't dare to mess around. Wendy replied with a hint of reluctance.

Sophia turned her death sentence into a reprieve: "Look at your follow-up performance, if you dare to mess around, the punishment will be doubled." ”

"Got it. Wendy lowered her eyebrows in front of Sophia, but she swung her small fist at Sean behind her back, apparently she hadn't forgotten about the transformation into a giant eagle.

Sean smiled at each other and didn't pay attention to it, and when the negotiations with the Kingsley family were over, he wouldn't have so much time to squat in the royal capital Valesta.

"Be careful!"

Sean jerks Sophia and Wendy away.

Click!

A powerful lightning bolt struck where Sophia and Wendy had just stopped.

The three of them patronized the confrontation, forgetting that there was still a giant eagle in a state of rage.

"Black collar!" Sean exclaimed.

The black collar, which was still menacing a moment ago, found that he had split the wrong person, and immediately shrank back, flapped his wings, and slipped away without looking back, and it is estimated that he would not dare to respond to Sean's call for three or two days.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?" said Sophia and Wendy as they hurriedly gathered around.

Just now, in order to push them away, Sean couldn't completely dodge the thunderbolt, and catapulted him several meters away on the spot.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a little numb in my hands and feet. Sean shook his head and said, "Wearing silk armor!"

Sean didn't tell the whole truth, when he rushed up just now, he had already turned on the enchantment on the badge he carried with him - Guardian for the first time.

This thing is now the standard configuration of the high-level of the Eternal Night Army, and it is a treasure that can resist the full force of the champion knight and save his life at a critical moment.

"Is it really okay?" asked Sophia a little uneasy, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

The scene that just happened didn't escape her eyes, but subconsciously, she should have used it as a magic shield for Sean.

The two are essentially the same, except that the guardian shield has a complete spell loop and can be instantaneous, while the spell shield takes time to prepare.

What she wondered was the speed at which Sean cast the spell.

"Haha...... Your hair. Wendy's nerves weren't the norm, and her attention quickly shifted, pointing at Sean's head and laughing.

The guardian shield prevented the impact of lightning and could not prevent the static electricity behind it, and even if Sean didn't have to look at it, he knew that he had a virtue with Wendy and turned into an explosive head.

"You still have the face to laugh at others, you are not a virtuous person? Sophia's anger that had just been suppressed was stirred up again, and she lectured at Wendy.

Wendy immediately drooped her little head, lowered her head and admitted her mistake again and again, but from Sean's point of view, she kept her head down, rolled her eyes, and grimaced, not to mention that her left ear went in and out of her right ear, and she didn't listen to it at all.

"Let's go down, if we don't go down, I'm afraid that the guards will break down the door and rush up. Sean suggested.

The last lightning strike of the black collar caused a lot of movement, and the commotion below the tower was clearly discerning.

Sophia's voice could probably be heard, and the palace guards resisted the urge to rush in.

"It's fine. Sophia felt like she had a lot of questions to communicate with Sean.

For example, the giant eagle spell, such as the promise to teach Wendy the transformation into the giant eagle spell, and the kiss before.

However, these questions can only be communicated in private, and with Wendy's big light bulb here, nothing can be discussed.

When Sean, Sophilia and Wendy came out of the tower, the palace guards waiting outside were obviously relieved, and looked at Sean and Wendy with very strange eyes.

Their current appearance is indeed embarrassing.

When Sean finished washing and tidying up his appearance, the female guard chief Biluo also came back with a message.

They went a step too late, and the two witnesses had problems.

Another court maid hanged herself in her home, just before they witnessed the court maid commit suicide by jumping off a building.

And the palace guard disappeared mysteriously, no one alive, no body dead.

In this case, even a fool knows that there is something wrong.

The palace itself is a breeding ground for all sorts of intrigues, and some of the little things in everyday life make it impossible to speculate in this regard, let alone the relationship between the princess regent and the leader of the eternal night at such a sensitive time.

The princess regent was furious about this, and asked Biluo to specially assign people to investigate the matter.

Some people dare to put their hands in their own homes, and it is uncomfortable for anyone to change them.

However, Sean is not optimistic about this.

As I said before, the first is limited by investigative methods.

The second is that the other party's handling is very neat, and the three people involved in it have all been wiped out, and it is believed that the missing palace guard is now lying in Valesta which gutter is slowly rotting.

The lines have been cut off, how to chase down.

Sophia looked at Sean and asked, "Your Excellency, do you have any unique views on this matter?"

"It's not a unique insight, and there's one thing that puzzles me. Sean replied with a frown.

"What's the doubt? Sophia asked.

"Before the investigation of the chief of the Biluo guard came back, I guessed that the other party wanted to use this method to blame the black collar, which made me speechless, planted the seeds of suspicion, and then created a bigger incident in the palace in the future, which made people can't help but think of the black collar. Sean voiced his earlier guess.

"Yes, that's what I thought, too. Sophia nodded approvingly.

"After the results of the investigation came out, I was a little puzzled. Sean analyzed, "We saw the suicide of the palace maid on the spot, it is good to explain, we debunk the lie on the spot, in a panic, the palace maid committed suicide in fear of crime, and then the chief of the guard will go to get people as soon as possible, but we are still one step behind, how to explain this? The other party extinguished in advance? This kind of thing, once the witness died, we will naturally think that there is a problem and investigate it, and it will not play a role in sowing discord at that time." ”

Sophia pondered for a moment and replied: "Another palace maid may also be unable to bear the psychological pressure and commit suicide, after the main envoy behind the scenes found out, he felt that the matter could not be covered, so the palace guard was also killed, and the one who committed suicide by jumping off the building was on duty, and the other party had not had time to kill it. ”

This explanation also makes sense. Sean nodded and said, "But this is just our speculation, we can't do it, and in the end, it depends on the results of the investigation on the side of the chief of the Biluo guard, but this also reminds us that the interests involved in this negotiation are too great, there are too many forces, will there be many people unscrupulous, and all kinds of problems should be strangled in the cradle, so Your Highness's previous proposal can be tried." ”

"What proposal?" said Sophia, puzzled.

"Ride the Giant Eagle mount and meet Prince Laurie in person to explain the proposal. Sean replied with a smile.

Sophia frowned and looked Sean up and down: "What the hell do you want to do? Earlier, you said that black collars don't like to let strangers ride, why did you suddenly change your attitude now?"

Seeing Wendy ride on the back of the black collar, the black collar reacted violently, Sophia has already dismissed the idea of riding the giant eagle, this thing has a bit of a high risk factor, although she has a bit of adventure in her bones, but it is far less crazy than Wendy.

"If it was before, it was really not easy to figure out a way, but the black collar just made a mistake and injured me by mistake, and now I feel guilty, it can be said that the conditions can be discussed, and if I am personally accompanied by the time, it should not be messed up. Sean smiled with a hint of slyness, "As long as I'm showing enough injuries." ”

Sean would never tell the Princess Regent that it was Sophia herself who really prompted him to change his mind, wanting to create an opportunity for the two to be alone.

It's just that Sophia is not a fool, she won't treat what happened in the tower as if it didn't happen at all, and showed a smiling expression, "I'll think about this matter again, but Your Excellency, can you explain what that giant eagle spell is all about?" Wendy told me that when she was in the air, the giant magic eagle used to have a conversation with her, it was the voice of Your Excellency Baron, and you and I both know that Wendy is not really hallucinating. ”

"This is a personal secret, and it is inconvenient to divulge. Sean was not carried away by his own heartbeat, and he knew what to say and what not to say, "I may have the opportunity to tell Your Highness in the future, but not now, before that, please help me keep this secret." ”

"What about the benefits, if you want me to keep it a secret, you have to pay some hush money!" Sophia also knew how to stop in moderation, and did not bite the bullet, and revealed the matter in a half-joking tone.

Sean replied without thinking, "How about giving His Highness a giant eagle mount?"

"Didn't Your Excellency say that the Black Collar is the only Andes Eagle with a camel man? Or is Your Excellency going to cut off the Black Collar from love?"

Sean did not answer Sophia's question directly, but asked rhetorically: "If you give the black collar to Your Highness, will Your Highness dare to ride alone?"

"Don't dare to sit. Sophia replied without hesitation.

"That's it, the mount is still raised by himself since he was a child, which is more reassuring. Sean said with a smile, "The black collar is unique now, it doesn't mean that it will be unique in the future, there are no adult Andes giant eagles who can hump people, but there are three young eagles that have just hatched, and they can be given to His Highness." ”

"A newly hatched eagle cub, an antiquity beast like a black collar, are you already able to do this?" Sophia was excited, savoring the hidden information.

The Eternal Night Commander is already at the forefront of the world in terms of cultivating magical beasts.

Sophia already knew this, just look at Sean's generosity in sending out a large number of Returning Beasts when he first came to Valesta.

But those ancient beasts, no matter how powerful they are, there are still ways for manpower to think about them.

If it is replaced by an ancient raptor, it will be more tricky.

Especially a giant aerial bird of prey like a black collar that can carry people, combined with black powder, it is simply a disaster that people can't prevent it.

Sean knew that once this kind of thing was revealed, it would definitely not be hidden from Sophia, so he didn't deny it directly, but said half-truthfully: "It has indeed made some progress, but the race of creatures like the Andes Giant Eagle itself is not big, we searched the entire Sanset Peak, and only found twenty-one, plus the black collar, returning to ancient times is a matter of great luck, most of them are still ordinary Sunset Giant Eagles, I really want to make them into an aerial formation, and I don't know the Year of the Monkey." ”

"Five, I want five. Sophia stretched out a crystal clear slap and said.

"Five?" Sean almost choked on his own saliva, "My Highness, do you think it's cabbage? We only hatched a total of three this time, and being able to give one to His Highness is already the limit, and there is no condition to talk about this." ”

"Can I believe you?" said Sophia, smirking, "really only three hatched?"

"I swear in my mother's name that only three really hatched this time. Sean replied with a serious expression.

I added that this time there were only three hatches, but I didn't say how many waves this was.

Now, the Antis Eagle Returning to the Ancient Castle has become the most important strategic plan of the Eternal Night Army Leader in the Northern Fortress.

The standard process has been basically formed, those Andes giant eagles are artificially fed and conditioned, after entering the estrus period, a female eagle can lay an average of one egg a week, and now the Eternal Night Commander has thirteen adult female eagles.

After accumulating 10 giant eagle eggs, a wave of incubation will be initiated, and the incubation period will last for three months, with a success rate of about 25%.

After a year-long preparation, it has now entered a high-yield period, with an average of one batch per week.

The time that Sean had just emphasized to Sophia was the twelfth batch of Eagle Cubs under the Eternal Night Army.
