Chapter 173: Manhaas's Illusion
An inexplicable palpitation made Lan Yue stop, and she looked back at her surroundings, a little strange.
She was in the corner of the courtyard cloister, where a maid was leading her to the living room where she was meeting, and the courtyard was planted with purple flowers, a species that Blue Moon had since she was a child.
The fragrance of flowers is overflowing, but Blue Moon is no longer in the mood to appreciate it.
The maid who walked in front turned her head and saluted Lan Yue: "Lord Lan Yue, please follow me, you haven't returned for a long time, the mansion has been rebuilt once, and it is easy to get lost." ”
Lan Yue nodded and followed as she said.
After several days of traveling, Blue Moon arrived in the province of Akarin, north of the Odyssey, whose name has been known for a long time, but no one knows how it came about.
And here, it is the fief of the great nobles of the north, that is, the family of Queen Chuyue, the Yinyue family.
It stands to reason that no one of the great nobles who own a fiefdom of a province will ignore its influence. But unlike other nobles who have a little power, the Yinyue family has always been low-key, except for paying taxes and tribute to the royal family on time every six months, there are almost no people from the Yinyue family outside the province of Akarin.
Except for Queen Chuyue, except for Princess Blue Moon - Queen Chuyue married into the royal family, which is the only place where the Yinyue family has had a deep intersection with the royal city for decades, although this relationship ended nine years ago.
It stands to reason that with the relationship of the Blue Moon, the Yinyue family should have a deep level of communication with the royal family, but since the death of Queen Chuyue, the Yinyue family has returned to the previous state of being in a peaceful corner, ignoring politics and their relatives, which is simply inexplicable in the eyes of others.
Lan Yue actually doesn't have much hope for asking the Silver Moon family for help, she doesn't know more about the Silver Moon family than others, if you want to talk about a more favorable relationship, that is, the current head of the Silver Moon family, is Lan Yue's cousin.
As for the name...... It seems to be called Akatsuki?
The women of the Yinyue family are generally named with a single word plus a month. The word rule of the Blue Moon generation is color, and the previous generation uses the moon phase, but there are not many heirs in each generation of the Silver Moon family, and the words in that row are basically not used up.
Like Blue Moon's generation, apart from Blue Moon herself, there are only two people.
"The head of the house is already waiting inside, but Lord Blue Moon, you ......" Standing in front of a gilded wooden door, the maid hesitated, "Are you sure you don't need to change your clothes?"
Lan Yue looked at her clothes, except that they were not luxurious enough, there were no other problems, "Of course, I am the cousin of the head of the family...... You don't need extra etiquette, do you?"
The maid nodded and opened the door for Lan Yue, "Please come in, the subordinates will not go in." ”
Blue Moon walked inside and saw a woman with dark brown hair sitting behind a desk, her fingers propped up on the left side of her face, looking at herself vigilantly.
The same emerald eyes, which are the characteristics of the Yinyue family.
There is no doubt that this is the current head of the Yinyue family.
"Cousin, long time no see. To be on the safe side, Lan Yue didn't call the name of the head of the family, but instead used the title of a relative to avoid calling it wrong.
"I guess, you don't remember my name, do you?" The head of the Yinyue family saw through at a glance why Lan Yue used the title of cousin, which made Lan Yue a little embarrassed, "You are blue, I am red, remember." ”
"Hmm...... Sister Akatsuki. ”
Akatsuki stood up and walked towards Blue Moon, "So...... Let me guess what Her Royal Highness the princess is here for?"
Lan Yue suddenly became nervous, and when she was about to speak, Akatsuki suddenly said, "It's okay." ”
“…… Huh?"
"Isn't your purpose just for the Silver Moon Family to be able to send troops? Of course you can. Akatsuki stroked Lan Yue's hair and said, "Three thousand soldiers, twenty cultivators, can supply 10,000 people with military rations for half a year...... I'm ready. ”
"But I haven't said anything yet?"
Akatsuki's expression suddenly became serious, "This is Aunt Hatsuki's instructions, I just do what she wants." ”
Lan Yue was happy, but also a little sad - her mother had already planned for this step, but she didn't know anything.
"However, there is one condition. ”
"You say. "For Akatsuki's words, Blue Moon will naturally not be surprised, the army is not something that can be created out of thin air, with the strength of Akalin Province, the army of three thousand people must be the entire Silver Moon family, in this case, it is normal to need compensation.
"I took my clothes off. ”
“???”
I said, take off your clothes. Akatsuki's eyes were like a knife, trying to cut all the clothes on Lan Yue's body, "I want to confirm that the inheritance of the Silver Moon family has not been broken off on you, this is very important!"
“…… I understand. "It's all women, Blue Moon didn't twist much, and Akatsuki's reasons are also very legitimate.
After taking off her clothes, Blue Moon turned her back and then worked her magic.
"So...... Tsukizakura is gone?" Shenxue smiled when she said this, looking calm, but half of the black tea she was holding had been spilled. "Are you sure?"
The orange puppet sitting at the table replied exactly, "Yes." ”
This sentence completely shattered Shenxue's delusions, she put down the black tea, and held her head in both hands, "Engage in wool!
"Don't tell me you didn't expect this in the first place...... "Sheila is also worried about Tsukizakura's whereabouts, but there is someone in front of her who needs her more to worry about.
Deep Snow cried with a sad face, looking like a dead person, "I...... I really didn't think that Yueying was a crippled person who could survive, eh? Isn't it just going to the door of someone's house and ringing the doorbell?
Sheila's face began to twitch, she couldn't understand how such an assassination could be described by Miyuki as a prank like ringing the doorbell - is it a big heart or a big heart or a big heart?
Martha, who was sitting on the side, stretched her face hard, so that she didn't scold, she didn't support Shenxue to send Yueying to make trouble at the beginning, but she only agreed because Lanyue agreed, and now that something happened, Martha didn't draw her sword on the spot and cut down Shenxue, she was already very self-contained.
"No, where did Tsukizakura get lost?
The puppet was silent for a while, then said, "No need. ”
I saw that the puppet's eyes suddenly shone a light, and this light reflected a map on the wall, the same as when the map was illuminated in Sasanar, but this time the map on the wall was an Odyssey.
The puppet draws a red dot on the east side of Azure City, where the last signal is given when the moon cherry blossoms disappear. The signal is given by the mobile phone that Suzuki handed to Tsukizakura, and in addition to being able to make calls, this mobile phone can also send a location signal so that Suyuki can confirm the location.
Otherwise, how dare Deep Snow let Lan Yue run out of the royal city.
"Where is this place?" Deepyuki turned to Martha and Ferdy, who had come together to discuss how to deal with General Orton's army, but the meeting had turned into a tracing meeting to track down Tsukizakura's whereabouts.
Martha frowned, estimating the location of the red dot and looking at Ferdy, "Could it be...... Is it there?"
"Yes. Ferdy reconfirmed the map, his face grimacing, "It's Manhaas." ”
"This place is bad? Is it General Orton's territory?"
"It used to be, but not anymore. Martha said, "Manjas is now in a no-go zone, the kind with a danger level of S. ”
"Did something happen?" asked Sheila.
Ferdy and Martha looked at each other, and Martha spoke, "The first time Your Highness met Moon Sakura was in the Frost Plains. ”
"I know that. ”
"So how did His Highness, who is in the Odyssey, cross half of Calido and reach the Frost Plains?"
"Something to do with Manhaas?"
"Yes, Manhas is a relatively prosperous town, but a few years ago, a wicked man sneaked in. ”
"Necromancer Sarieri. The puppet said.
"But my Highness and I ...... Ferdy and another attendant were traveling around the country and happened to arrive in Manhaas, where they found the necromancer's whereabouts, and because the situation was critical, we didn't have time to wait for help, so we rushed into the necromancer's lair in a team of four, and then proved to be the wrong decision. ”
"I remember you guys solved the problem. Sheila had read the wrench's report and had some knowledge of what was happening in the Plains of Frost.
"At first, we ostensibly drove out the necromancer, but then ...... Manhaas had a vision. ”
Illusion - this unfamiliar term suddenly made Sheila's emotions tense.
In the report, the word illusion is also mentioned, which makes Hillar go out of his way to look up the relevant knowledge. In the academic world, the illusion is actually a difficult puzzle to solve, and the reasons for the formation, the manifestation, and the internal techniques are only a few words in various books, and the only thing that is confirmed is that "in order to form an illusion, there must be a strong magic network in the local area", which is equivalent to not saying it.
But there is no doubt that each illusion is very dangerous, and so far there is no way to eliminate it, only to wait for it to slowly disappear. As for the span of disappearance, it is basically calculated in ten years or even a hundred years.
Of course, some illusions that have existed for a long time have become places dedicated to exercising themselves because of the large number of people who go there and the high degree of understanding, but a new illusion ...... Nine times out of ten, those who go in will die.
"We didn't know at first, and we sent a team to investigate, but we didn't come back, and then we found out that this place had become a fantasy, so General Orton immediately designated it as a no-go zone, and we didn't know anything about the situation there. ”
"No wonder the signal disappears...... Did you run into the illusion?" Shenxue scratched her hair, very troubled, "In this case, it can only depend on Yueying's own ability, and we can't help." ”
"I can go. The puppet said suddenly.
Deep Snow immediately rejected Alice's proposal, "No, your role is irreplaceable, I know you ran into the illusion to save Tsukizakura before, but now it's different...... Luck isn't so good every time. ”
Seeing that everyone was silent, Shenxue immediately moved on to the next topic, she took out a report and handed it to Martha, "So, we should talk...... General Orton's business. ”
