Chapter 134: The Undercurrent Before the Turmoil
Vivien Leigh's petition puts Lawrence in a dilemma. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
No matter how reluctant he was, Lawrence had no choice but to agree to Vivien Leigh's request under the ardent expectations of the nobles.
After all, both in terms of ability and the possibility of persuading Elbert to escape the palace, Vivien Leigh was the most suitable person.
Next, the League of Nobles discussed the details of the implementation and decided to implement the plan that night.
"I really don't understand why you're doing this. ”
Charlotte, Claire, and Vivien Leigh were walking on their way to the palace, and the former sighed and said, "Can't you see that my father deliberately wanted those nobles to help? ”
Charlotte remembered the hook-nosed young man she saw when she visited the Prince's Mansion that night, and she could sense the deadly threat coming from the other party even through the walls of the world. Although he hadn't seen the man since that day, he didn't think that he had just come to the water city for a tour.
"I really didn't expect that. Vivien Lilen paused for a moment, then replied as she rubbed her shoulder.
Although she didn't suffer much damage from the daytime gladiatorial matches, she was still tired from the amount of magic energy expended before and after, as well as the duel with Daphne.
At this time, the silver dragon princess is undoubtedly not in the best condition, which is what annoys Charlotte the most.
"I'm just worried about one thing, otherwise I wouldn't have forced my head out knowing that I wasn't feeling well. Vivien Leigh pouted, "Really, I'm not a fool!"
"What are you worried about?" Charlotte said with an angry expression, "I think the most worrying thing is your poor IQ!"
His slightly raised volume visibly annoyed Vivien Leigh, and the silver dragon princess grabbed the soft flesh around Charlotte's waist, causing him to let out a wail.
"I said don't take me for a fool!" Fei Wenli said indignantly, "I'm worried about Sister Cynthia's safety! Don't you notice? The nobles are just worried about Elbert, what if something happens to Sister Cynthia!"
Charlotte and Claire were stunned, and only then did they remember this detail after being reminded by Vivien Leigh.
Vivien Leigh was right.
For the League of Nobles, it was enough for them to ensure the safety of Crown Prince Elbert, and as for Cynthia, she was nothing more than a dispensable figure for those people.
In other words, if it were someone from the Noble Alliance who went on a mission, Cynthia would not have been able to get enough protection. That means that the elegant and intelligent girl is likely to become an outcast.
At this thought, Charlotte couldn't help but be scared for a while.
He still remembers the first time he met Cynthia at Fort Savoie. It was a rare summer day in the North, and a little girl in a white dress was escorted by a team of knights into the Fort of Savoie, which was forged by Black Rock.
At that time, Cynthia had nothing but a platinum bracelet on her wrist, and she wore a silver crown symbolizing the royal princess, and she came to a strange country alone.
But the little girl who first got out of the carriage quickly restrained her panic and smiled at Lawrence and Rebecca.
The sun shone on the delicate porcelain doll-like side of the little girl's face, and Charlotte could even remember the fine fuzz on her little face. She greeted everyone with a smile and cordially, but Charlotte noticed that her fleshy hands were trembling uneasily.
The midsummer sun, the cicadas in the treetops, and the hot wind from the south, the little girl who tried to restrain her inner turmoil at that time seemed to be a beautiful picture, so stubbornly engraved in the depths of Charlotte's memory.
Until she learned that the little girl would be Evan's fiancée, Charlotte couldn't force herself to erase that scene from her memory.
Charlotte couldn't help but panic at the thought that she might make the girl disappear because of her carelessness.
He patted Fei Wenli on the shoulder and sighed, "It's still a girl who is careful, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have paid attention to this detail." ”
"It's good that you know!" Hearing Charlotte's compliment, the corners of Vivien Leigh's lips unconsciously overflowed with a smile.
"But we're still worried about you. Claire couldn't help but say, "After all, you have consumed a lot today, Your Royal Highness Princess, please don't be reckless in your next actions." Just leave it to Charlotte and me. ”
"It's Vivien Leigh!" Vivien Leigh pouted dissatisfiedly, "Really! How many times do you have to say it before you can change it! Claire!"
The trio talked as they walked down the bustling shopping street towards the palace, and along the way, they often heard people talking about today's slave incident. It is clear that the events of the day are spreading fermentation at a breakneck pace.
The three of them exchanged their opinions on the matter of Zenas, and before they knew it, the majestic and cold buildings of the palace were already in sight.
At the same time, in the tallest protector mage tower in the water capital, a far-reaching event was taking place.
Wade, the protector of the kingdom, is an old and legendary mage, and although his powerful spell strength and profound knowledge have greatly delayed his aging, the mage who has not practiced Sylvia immortality is also approaching the end of his life.
The world of Steeu defines the legendary level as a mortal who has reached the realm of the transcendent.
But as the definition implies, no matter how extraordinary, the legend is still in the realm of mortals. Although they can greatly delay the aging of their bodily functions, they still cannot disobey the will of death.
And if mortals want to truly transcend death, then there are only two supreme paths: the achievement of the gods and the king of the roots. But how difficult these two paths are, there are countless people with extraordinary talents from ancient times to the present, but there are very few who can really reach those two fields.
As a result, those with extraordinary talents have developed two other shortcuts.
One is the way of the lich developed by the Lord of Souls, Igger, before he became the king, transforming his body into an immortal undead lich to avoid death.
The other is the Immortality Spell developed by Sylvia, which is more demanding on the caster, receiver, and materials than the Lich Way, but allows people to maintain the most perfect state of the living, and also has the ability to be immortal.
Sounds great, but the problem is, both paths are hugely flawed.
The former can cause people to lose all their senses and become cold souls without feelings, while the latter is demanding and the spell model is only circulated in a small area.
And the biggest flaw in common between the two is that once these two methods are used to obtain immortality, it will be difficult for the recipient's strength to improve.
This was hard to accept for the once ambitious and pretentious Wade, who had always thought he could ascend to the stars on the throne of God. Therefore, they disdain to use that evil way to gain eternal life.
But now, Wade, who had just finished the experiment, felt a lack of energy. This is not the first time he has felt this way, and over the years, as a legend, he has vaguely felt that his limit is approaching.
And because of his pride, he never tried to find the spell book of immortality, and it was clear that this made Wade regret it now.
The aging protector mage made himself a cup of refreshing tea, and he couldn't help but look at the parchment on his desk through the gentle mist, and he couldn't help but look in a trance.
It was a spellbook of Lich Transformation, which was obviously easier to obtain than the elusive Immortal Spell. It was a precious spell he had acquired at great cost three years ago by trading with a necromancer.
"Is this the only way it can be......" The old mage who didn't want to die still hesitated.
At this moment, a message came from the tower spirit of the Mage Tower—Prince Maysfield visited the Protector Mage Tower.
