The winding and rugged mountain road leads to the top of the mountain, and the wind at the top of the mountain is much faster than that below, and the mountain wind howls, shuttling between the neat rows of stone houses, rolling up a slight dust, carrying the pale yellow leaves of the Serban heart tree, making a sharp cry, and rushing towards the cliff not far away.

An old man dressed in the pure white robe of an ordinary monk, with his hands folded in the wide sleeves of his robes, stared at a tall statue on the edge of the cliff. After a long time, the old man sighed, turned around and slowly paced towards the stone houses. When the old man walked to a stone house, he pushed the door directly in, and there was nothing in the room except for a half-man-high circular stone platform in the middle. The front of the stone platform is carved with complex patterns, and it is radiating a white brilliance. The old man slowly stretched out his right hand and placed two small diamond-shaped metal sheets in the groove in the middle of the stone platform, and suddenly, the stone platform was bright, and then it returned to its original state, but the two metal sheets that had just been placed in the groove had disappeared.

The dinner at the Rose Manor is coming to an end, and the guests have boarded their own carriages, and the second half of the banquet will continue in the homes of the nobles, who will all use the energy of their youth to gallop on the battlefield and fight bravely on the warm beds.

Oss was supposed to take Ahmed's carriage back to Gothic City, but Paland let him ride in her carriage. So, with a burst of envious eyes, Oss boarded Paland's carriage. In this regard, Auster specially apologized to Aimed, but the high priest of Aimed, who had always been serious, laughed heartily, and said meaningfully, "It doesn't matter, you young people have to have more contact with each other, if you want to squeeze a carriage with an old man like me, but you snub the kindness of the beauty, I will not agree." Haha, Os, come on. ”

Ahmed's last sentence is a clear pun.

In the carriage, there was no beautiful picture as the nobles had speculated, and Oss and Paran were just talking casually.

"Os, now it seems that your rebirth is indeed real, and only the divine power of the God of Light can make a person who was previously nicknamed Dumb Goose suddenly have such a big transformation. I hope you give up this opportunity, according to the rules, each county can only submit one candidate for the Divine Favorite, and the Frank family will definitely try to eliminate you, and as far as Metropolitan Wood is concerned, it will not matter to him which of the two of you is ultimately elected, so he will definitely support his godson. Please trust me, if you withdraw, my father will definitely compensate you accordingly, and our previous agreement must not be affected by any accidents. Frank's family is so strong that your concessions will turn everything around. As soon as he got into the carriage, Paran tried to convince Oss to take her advice.

Oss smiled and said to Paran.

"Would you believe me if I said that I just want to be an ordinary clergyman, preferably just a monk, do my job every day, and then have the time and energy to do what I like, without distractions, without participating in political and theocratic struggles, and living my life in peace?"

Tonight's feeling for Paran has changed several times, before getting into the carriage, Paran's perception of him is that he is witty, cautious, mature, a lucky person who is different from his peers, if he is given ten years of growth, she believes that Oss will definitely reach her father's current height, and even when he has more allies, his future will not be limited to just one Elan County. But now, she could feel the sincerity in Oss's words, not that Oss was easy to see, in fact, she knew that she didn't really know him at all, but at the moment in this carriage, she looked into his eyes, looking at the helplessness and yearning look when he said those words, Paran was extremely sure that what Oss said was what he really thought in his heart.

He was only a sixteen-year-old boy, in the face of the right to reach, but he just longed for a plain life, Paran at this moment in Oss vaguely saw the figure of an old man she had seen before, that old man had the ultimate power and unimaginable prestige of ordinary people, and later, the old man chose to do an ascetic, and in the end, he finished the rest of his life in such an extremely ordinary and ordinary way. She always remembered the old man's indifferent eyes, like Oss at this moment.

Palan was silent.

Oss continued. "It's just that I don't have a choice at all, High Priest Ahmed has already made his decision and pushed me to where I am now, if I take a step back, he will be the first to stand up and make me doomed, so I don't have a choice at all. I can only move forward now, stepping on the slippery rocks that emerge from the river, step by step. ”

Finally, Paran was no longer silent, and she smiled apologetically.

"Well, Os, I took it for granted, and I apologize to you. So, let's discuss the details of the collaboration. You pretend to be my fiancé, and in turn, my family will give you some support, do you think that's okay?"

"Sure, no matter what way you look at it, I've taken advantage of it, you're such a beauty, you want to be your fiancé's man, you can line up from Gothic City to Stormwind City. Oss immediately nodded in agreement.

The atmosphere in the carriage immediately became harmonious, and Paran couldn't help but smile and said, "So when will we start dating?"

Without thinking, Oss replied, "Tomorrow!"

Paran's smile grew brighter and brighter.

"Place"

Oss blurted out: "Gude magic material market"

"Huh?" said Paran, slightly questioning.

Oshaha laughed: "I know that you are a high-level mage, and it just so happens that I have been studying the magic circle recently, and with such a free labor as you, I don't have to use it in vain." ”

Paran gave Oss a blank look, but instead of getting angry, he became more and more happy.

"You're a strange man, a swordsman, who wants to study the circle. ”

Oss was also very happy, and replied: "Swordsman is my profession, magic circles are my hobby, Holy Religion is my faith, and I am a versatile person. So that's it, Miss Paran, tomorrow the market for Goode's magic materials will be gone. ”

"Yes, Archaisan Os. ”

In such a harmonious atmosphere, the carriage drove into the Gothic City, escorted by six knights. It wasn't long before Emed's carriage slowly entered Gothic City, with no more than half a prayer between the two carriages.

Then, a dark shadow flashed in the shadow of the city wall. The shadow was extremely fast, leaping over the moat in one step, and then turned back to the south. After about five prayers, the shadow came to a grove of trees and stood five paces away from a carriage.

"Young Master" The voice of the black shadow man was slightly hoarse.

A moment later, a man walked through the carriage, none other than Viscount Frank.

"Young Master, Emerd's carriage has been following Miss Paran's, and I can't make a move. The dark shadow waited for Frank to come so far before whispering back.

Frank frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are a gray-robed assassin, you kill that little bastard who doesn't know the height of the sky and leave directly, no matter how powerful Emmed is, he can't stop you, right?"

The dark shadow hurriedly replied: "Miss Paran's carriage is guarded by six knights, including a high-ranking knight, although they are not my opponents, but they are enough to support Aimed's arrival, let alone kill Oss, I may not be able to retreat with my whole body." ”

"It's really troublesome, after you entered the city, you killed the little bastard, can you guarantee that you can escape from the city safely?"

After asking, Frank himself vetoed first, "It's too risky, the defense of Gothic City has been built into an iron bucket formation by Carter, and as long as Carter has a city, you won't be able to escape." ”

"Young Master, I am willing to use my life to remove this obstacle for the family. The black shadow looked solemn and said resolutely.

In the face of the dark shadow's loyal words, Frank said: "Your life is worthless, but it is not up to you to live or die at that time, it is okay to fall into the hands of Carter, if Emed makes a move, the whole family will be affected by you at that time." ”

"Young master, believe me, even if I am caught, I will not say half a word. I was originally a dead soldier of my family, and I can give my life for my family at any time. ”

People like Black Shadow will be supported by every noble family, and their families are controlled by the noble family, even if they are sacrificed, the family will always provide for their family, but if they betray the family, their family will be worse than dead. So, the Shadow is not a lie. But Frank shook his head anyway.

"Before becoming the Archon of Gothic City, Ahmed was a member of the Inquisition and rose to the rank of High Priest through the ranks of the Chaos Forest. In his hands, I believe you have heard of the methods of the heresy hall, do you think you can survive it? Okay, I will find another way to deal with this matter, I must find some people who don't know the inside story and have nothing to do with the family to make a move, you can step back first. ”

The Inquisition Hall, the institution known throughout the continent, whose reputation is built on the blood and wails of their enemies. After hearing this name, the black shadow couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and then retreated respectfully, disappearing into the night.

In the carriage carved in the shape of a silver wolf, except for Frank, Kester also sat quietly, only his clothes were a little wrinkled, and the lip gloss on his lips was a little dull. Frank smiled wickedly, "Baby, let's get back to what we just did." ”

With that, Frank sat comfortably on his back against the side wall of the carriage. Kester obediently stroked his hair that hung down, then looked at Frank seductively and shyly, and slowly lowered his head.

Acting slowly, Frank closed his eyes comfortably, as if casually asked, "I heard that Oss likes you very much, right?"

He was greeted with a whimper as his hand pressed hard against Kester's head.

Frank's face was slightly hideous, and he said with a wicked smile, "The woman you like is what I ask for, what are you fighting with me?"

On this night, many people made a choice, and the wisps of invisible power of fate strung them together and intertwined, which will eventually produce an unpredictable torrent that will devour everyone. However, as is the case in everything, the path you choose, no matter what, all the consequences must be borne by yourself.
