Chapter Ninety-Eight: Daphne, the Princess of the Stars
In the southeast of the San Lorenzo Empire, or to be precise, sailed southeast from the Duchy of Ullapool for about half a month. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
If you're lucky enough to stumble into the fog, you might just be able to see the fabled maritime city.
The famous capital of mages - the city of mysteries!
The city, built entirely on artificial islands, covers an area of more than 1,400 square kilometers.
If Charlotte were here, he would tell you that it was about two-thirds the size of Tokyo.
And this, in the world of Steeu, is simply a miracle.
This city of wonders hangs in solitary straits, transcendent and independent.
Unlike Lucerne, the City of Arcane is arranged in a square. It was planned by its founders as an academic district, a residential area, a trade area, a college area, and many other areas.
Probably because of the one-dimensional character of its owner, almost every area is perfectly square.
A strong academic atmosphere, strict city laws, a rich collection of magical books, and exotic artifacts from all over the multiverse...... That's the true charm of the City of Secret Law.
Unlike the mundane Icewind Castle, it is a true mage mecca and academy city.
The Lord's millennial fame has attracted countless mages and speculators of all races in the multiverse.
Here, the capable will climb to the top, and the incompetent will fall to hell.
There is only one voice to listen to - the Lord of the Empire, Emmanuel Geinsbert!
And at this moment, in the palace area in the middle of the city of secret law. In front of the magnificent palace, which was made entirely of white jade, stood a young girl dressed in a white and red light ranger costume.
The girl has soft silver hair as bright as a sea of stars, and a pair of pale golden autumn eyes. She is slender and graceful, swaying like catkins.
A young girl with a pair of swords at her waist and a longbow on her back stood on the white jade steps with her hands on her chest, looking at the beautiful palace and all kinds of rare plants in the greenery with admiration.
"Your Highness the Princess. Several rangers standing behind him complained in a low voice, "Anyway, Your Highness is also here on behalf of the two Majesties of the Elven Lord God Yvette and the Lord of the Structure, Zoe, and His Majesty the Lord of the Imperial Court has silently left you for more than an hour, which is too ......."
"Shhhhhhh The silver-haired princess, known as the princess, smiled at the corner of her lips, and she raised her food to silence her subordinates, "Don't you think that admiring the art of architecture is also a rare and wonderful time?"
The ranger was speechless, and he knew the girl's temperament well, and knew that once the princess fell into the so-called art appreciation, he would not be disturbed by external objects. So he took a step back and stood helplessly.
At this moment, the sound of soft footsteps could be heard in the palace. The girl smiled and looked at the palace, and saw a young man wearing a six-pointed star robe saluting her slightly.
"Gui'an, Her Royal Highness Daphne Ophelis, Princess of the Stars. Sorry to keep you waiting so long. But please forgive me for my rudeness, Your Majesty is visiting at this moment. ”
"It doesn't matter. Daphne tucked her watery silver hair, revealing her small, pointy ears, "The time spent admiring art is always so joyful that I can barely feel the passage of time." ”
The young mage made a gesture of invitation and led the way ahead. He smiled decently and asked in an elegant tone, "Yes, I hope I haven't disturbed your artistic time." Pardon my rudeness, what do you think of the City of Secret Laws?"
"The art of rigor!" Daphne smiled gracefully, "every line, every corner has been carefully calculated, and I feel the rigor of His Majesty the Lord." ”
"But......" The princess of the stars suddenly changed her words, and showed a playful smile like a little girl, she raised her index finger and shook it gently in front of her, "Sometimes art needs to be more natural!
The young man was stunned, a little annoyed by Devany's words. But in any case, it is impossible for him to criticize such a cute and charming girl with a noble status.
So, he could only shut his mouth in silence and silently lead the way with a straight face.
"Angry, what a stingy man, it seems that the world is really not pleasing to the truth!"
With her hands behind her back, Daphne jumped to the side of the young man like a little girl. She leaned forward slightly, and the touching style of the girl next door at that moment made the young man unable to tense his nerves anymore.
"Where, Her Royal Highness the princess is serious. The young man blushed unnaturally and tilted his head, "No matter how excessive, I can't be angry with such a beautiful woman." ”
"Hee-hee! thank you for the compliment!" Daphne smiled and bent over like a fairy in a flower, and then, puffing out her chest, returning to her original graceful appearance, "So, would you mind telling me which of your honorable guests made His Majesty the Lord so important?"
"This ...... Maybe you'll see you later, after all, His Highness's conversation isn't over yet. The young man was stunned by Devany's change of attitude, and he was slightly stunned, and continued, "Also, please wait in front of the hall before the conversation is over, and you don't want me to be punished, do you?"
"Of course!" said Daphne, with a mischievous little devil grin, "but only if you are willing to satisfy my poor curiosity! I can't wait to find out who that guest is. ”
The so-called cocooning is like this, the young man sighed with a headache.
Just as he didn't know what to do, a melodious melody drifted from the hall into the bright hallway.
The notes of the melody are like a dancing elf, mischievously drilling into the ears and seeping into the soul.
Every note is meticulously crafted and will amaze even the most discerning artist!
Just hearing the melody made Daphne close her eyes and dance regardless of the occasion.
The young man looked at the princess who was dancing and spinning forward, and for a long time, he smiled bitterly and led the way ahead.
They came to a huge stone gate carved with intricate reliefs, three feet high enough to mistake one for the palace of some giant.
And in fact, the owner of the palace is indeed a giant of magic!
The melody had long since stopped, and the sound of conversation could be faintly heard in the hall. But the young man had to pat Devonne's shoulder to prevent the princess, who was still dancing with all her heart, from breaking into the hall.
He frowned helplessly, and sure enough, he was greeted by Devonne's disgruntled grumbling.
"Mr. Mage, has anyone ever told you that it is rude to interrupt a lady's dance?"
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess, but the melody has long since been played. The mage bowed slightly and apologized, "In order to prevent you from spinning directly and breaking into the main hall, I had to do something ungraceful. ”
"Besides, does the princess think that melody is charming?" he tried to change the subject.
Clearly, his efforts worked!
"Yes, a wonderful melody! it is perfect!" said Daphne, raising her eyebrows, but soon she shook her head in annoyance and sighed, "but like His Majesty Emmanuel, this player is undoubtedly guilty of the same fault. ”
"Perfect doesn't mean best......," she tilted her head slightly, organizing her thoughts, "I think this piece should have been a little calmer." It's supposed to be that ......"
As if thinking of the words, she clapped her hands happily, "That kind of melody like a budding flower waiting to bloom, silently pouring out her thoughts to her sweetheart!"
The mage nodded indispensably, this young man who risked his body and mind to spells really didn't know much about art.
"But Mr. Mage!" Daphne smiled like a little demon again, "I can't change the subject, if you don't tell me who that distinguished guest is." In retaliation for your rudeness in interrupting my dance, I'm going to rudely break into the main hall!"
She made a gesture and pushed towards the stone gate.
“…… Wait!" the young man reluctantly stopped, "Okay! I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"
"It's Her Highness Sylvia, the owner of Icewind Castle. ”
He didn't think that Devany would know who the unknown Sylvia was, but it was clear that the princess who had been favored by Zoe and Yvette was far more knowledgeable than he thought.
"Oh!" said Daphne's lips with an excited smile, "Is it actually Lord Sylvia, one of the legendary first beauties of Steeu, one of the Three Saints of Annihilation?!"
"I can't wait to meet the legendary cold Kaolin flower!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand towards the stone gate, despite the young man's resistance.
Star Princess Devany Ophelis!
At this moment, the young man was convinced that she was an elven alien who did her own thing, as rumored!
