Chapter 115: Youth
It had been four days since Teresa arrived in the city of Qinyin, and three days after meeting with Yevgeny, the patriarch of the Flame Temple. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info For three days, Teresa and Megan, led several wizards, from morning to night, the same elements made a war of words. The two sides are at loggerheads over the development model of Shadowkeep.
The Flame Sanctuary certainly wanted to limit the spread of witchcraft as much as possible, and Teresa did her best to alleviate the constraints on the development of the Shadowkeep. The people on both sides of the negotiation are fiercely argued and well considered. It was as if the parties really intended to abide by the treaty that was being negotiated for a long time.
That morning, Teresa led the negotiators again to meet with Yevgeny. After greeting each other, Teresa and Evgeny stepped aside. The terms of the treaty have been finalized, but there are still a few details that need to be clarified. This kind of subtle competition naturally does not require Teresa and the two to come forward in person.
According to the experience of the previous two days, Evgeny would have chatted with Teresa for a while. He would then leave, leaving Elder Sandra and Teresa to continue to negotiate or modify the Pact.
Yevgeny today seems to be particularly talkative. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, I received the news the day before yesterday. When our temple recruits apprentices, we may discover your blood relative. The stakes are high, and I asked them to verify them in a more precise way. Unfortunately, I received the message this morning. That apprentice did possess a transcendent bloodline, but he was not the Shadow Dragon bloodline of Shadowkeep. ”
Teresa didn't react for a moment. She asked suspiciously, "Your Excellency, what are you talking about?" ”
Yevgeny explained: "A few days ago, when Greene City was recruiting civilian apprentices, it was suspected that another descendant of Shadow Castle was discovered. I originally wanted to bring him to meet with you so that we could improve our relationship. However, upon re-examination, our men discovered that the boy, despite his otherworldly bloodline, was not a descendant of Shadowkeep. ”
"I see," Teresa nodded, "what a pity. It turns out that the temple recruits apprentices and also checks their bloodlines. ”
"Of course," Yevgeny calmly looked out the window, "ancient wizards prospered, and there was always some transcendent bloodline left among the common people. We recruit apprentices, so naturally we will check it out. On the one hand, eliminate the enemy, on the other hand, confirm the qualifications, and focus on training. ”
Teresa suddenly laughed: "Then your detection technology must be very inaccurate." Because ......" Teresa snapped. Only then did she remember that Du Shen's identity as a descendant of Shadow Castle still needed to be kept secret.
"Because of what?" Yevgeny asked suspiciously.
"I'm sorry I can't explain," Teresa said cheerfully, a little smugly, "and I can only tell you." There's a big problem with your detection technology! ”
"Impossible," Yevgeny shook his head slightly angrily, "Your Highness, you shouldn't have deliberately slandered the power of the Temple. In fact, the technology of detecting bloodlines was very developed and widely spread in ancient times. We found similar techniques from several ruins. We have been using this technique for five or six hundred years. Although it is rare, it also relies on it to find many descendants of transcendentals. ”
Teresa shook her head, still not convinced. She knew that Du Shen had infiltrated the temple to obtain the core of the flames. Obviously, the temple's technology failed to detect Du Shen's shadow dragon bloodline.
Thinking of Du Shen's deflated temple, Teresa couldn't help but show a little pride and happiness.
Yevgeny sighed and shook his head: "Your Highness, it seems that you do discriminate against our technology. Although we abstain from witchcraft, it does not mean that we give up many practical techniques. Perhaps, I should prove it. ”
Yevgeny hesitated briefly: "That's it! The technique of detecting bloodlines has been widely spread in ancient times. Even if you don't, you may find it sometime. Your Highness, if you are interested, I can provide you with a copy of this technology. to justify the name of the temple technicians. ”
Teresa wondered if Mario's Knowledge Hut documented such technology. However, it is always right to take what you took for nothing first. So Teresa nodded heavily: "I'm interested." If I could, I'd really like to see the temple's ancient collection. ”
"I'll get people ready," Yevgeny said, turning to the two negotiators who were arguing in a low voice, "and tomorrow at the latest, our agreement will be finalized." His Highness will be able to leave as soon as the day after tomorrow. I will hand over the technology of bloodline detection to His Highness before the day after tomorrow. ”
Teresa was grateful: "That's very good. Then trouble Your Excellency. ”
"When people are old, their energy is always low," Yevgeny suddenly sighed, "Your Highness, please forgive me for leaving first." By the way, since His Highness will leave the day after tomorrow, you might as well take advantage of these two days to have a good look. When you return to Shadowkeep, I'm afraid it's hard to get another chance like this. You can rest assured that our men will ensure the safety of His Highness. ”
Teressa's sincere thanks: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your considerate care. ”
Yevgeny said goodbye, and as he walked out, he exclaimed: "If only there were not so many fights in the world, how good!" I wish other wizards could get along like the two of us. ”
Teresa watched Yevgeny leave, and for a moment she sighed with emotion: "It would be nice if wizards and elemental enablers could coexist peacefully forever!" ”
Teresa walked to the edge of the negotiating table, focusing on the-for-tat confrontation of several negotiators. She quickly became bored. Teresa felt that it didn't matter where a few negotiators were arguing, anyone could take a step back. However, Meghan had already reminded her: "As the leader of one side, even if it feels insignificant, you must protect your own interests." It is absolutely impossible to give in easily, lest the other party gain an inch. ”
So, even though Teresa thought that a deal could have been signed long ago, she could only ignore her men's constant disputes over the details.
Teresa paid attention for a while, and whispered to Elder Sandra, "Ma'am, I want to go out for a walk." ”
Sandra nodded happily: "Please call your own guards, and we will also arrange additional protection." Please do not leave the sight of the guards. ”
Teresa nodded. Before she could call out, Meghan stepped forward with an unhappy face: "Your Highness, can't you pay a little attention to your own safety?" ”
Teresa smiled mischievously, "Don't worry too much. With the protection of the temple, there will be no problems. ”
Meghan reluctantly summoned most of her subordinates. She led the crowd and escorted Teresa in the middle and walked out of the courtyard.
Everyone arrived in the front yard and boarded the carriage that had been prepared long ago. Megan and the two wizards were in the same car as Teresa. Before and after the carriage, a total of thirty elemental envoys escorted.
At Teresa's request, the carriage drove out of the mansion and down the street out of the city gates to the public cemetery near the city.
Teresa plans to pay homage to her mother-in-law buried in the cemetery. In fact, on the day she arrived at Kotone City, Teresa had already gone to worship once.
The carriage drove straight into the depths of the cemetery. Teresa jumped out of the carriage and walked to her mother-in-law's tombstone in full force. After walking for a while, Teresa suddenly made a strong request, and the surrounding elements moved slightly away.
The element of leading the team makes it inexplicable. However, Teresa was resolute, and the surrounding vision was wide, and there were no others. The Elemental Envoys grant Teressa's request.
Teresa led Meghan and the others to the tombstone. She originally planned to also support Meghan and the others, so that she and her mother-in-law could be alone for a while. However, Teresa saw the elementals around her, and it wasn't too far away. She sighed to herself and gave up her plan to confide in her mother-in-law.
Theresa was silent for a while, leading the group back to the carriage. Before she could get out of the stele forest, Teresa suddenly heard an excited shout: "It's you!" I've finally found you! Miss, wait for me......"
Teresa turned her head to scan and saw that an aristocratic boy was running towards the side of the road near the convoy. Instead of choosing a nearby gravel path, the boy crossed the stele forest and rushed to Teresa at the shortest distance. While running wildly, he waved excitedly: "Hey! Miss, do you remember me? My name is Morgan, and the Kenny family ...... Morgan."
Teresa gradually realizes that the teenager's goal is herself. She was confused.
Without waiting for Teressa's order. The outermost elemental envoy had rushed in front of Morgan and blocked him: "Who are you?" Please don't approach that young lady! ”
"Misunderstanding!" "Don't do it!" As soon as Morgan was stopped, several shouts rang out in the stele forest at the same time. It was the family guard who was responsible for protecting Morgan. While following the footsteps of the little master, the guards explained loudly: "He is the young master of the Kenny family, not a villain, please don't hurt him." ”
Morgan didn't care about his situation. He just rushed forward dissatisfied, and at the same time beckoned to Teresa from afar, "Miss, hey, remember me?" I saved you! Twice! ”
The elemental made him strong, and just lightly pressed Morgan's shoulder, so that he could not move forward. Morgan angrily yelled at the Elementals: "Let go of me! Let me pass! Do you know who I am? ”
The elemental envoy was indifferent, and only loudly threatened the dozen or so clan guards who were running: "You guys stop me!" If I get any closer, I'll kill this boy!" ”
The guards stopped one after another, anxiously explaining loudly and shouting.
Morgan heard the elemental envoy in front of him to kill himself. He wasn't nervous. He jumped to his feet and shouted to Teressa, who was pacing slowly, "Miss, let me talk to you!" Please, just a word! ”
Perhaps Morgan's emotions were too intense, Teresa finally stopped and said to the nearby elemental leader, "Then let him come!" ”
Morgan undergoes a simple search and cross-examination before being brought to Teresa by the Elemental Messenger. Meghan and other wizards were upset with him and surrounded him in the middle.
Morgan turned a blind eye to the wizards around him. He still tried to get close to Teresa: "Miss, do you remember me?" Oops, you probably don't remember. When I saved you, you were asleep. What can I do? How can I explain it to you. ”
Morgan is blocked by the wizard. He stood on the spot, dancing with his hands in a hurry: "Miss, I really saved you." Would you like to hear from me about my experience? ”
Teresa became more and more strange and nodded, "Then you better hurry." ”
"Okay," Morgan cheered, pushing the wizard in front of him to the side, "it was the winter of the year before, and I came back from Dormor. It had been snowing heavily for several days, and that day, I was resting on the side of the road and saw an old woman......"
Before Morgan could finish speaking, Teresa interrupted with a sneer: "I don't know, where did you hear the story?" All I know is that you're lying. Someone else saved me. With that, Teresa strode towards the carriage.
"Someone else!" Morgan was stunned and rushed towards Teressa, but was held down by the wizard in front of him. He shouted frantically, "What is the other person? I saved you! I really saved you! Listen to me! Don't go, don't go, I beg you don't go......"
