Chapter 130: A New Situation
It turned out that this was my mother, the woman who gave me life. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although everyone said that her mental state was unstable, I felt that she was a rare brightness in this indifferent continent, and I felt a little bit of family affection in her.
Maybe I had been staring at her for a long time, and her eyes were a little confused: "Rosa, what's wrong?" Is there something on my face? ”
I lowered my head slightly and said, "It's nothing, Mother, I'm back." ”
"It's good to be back. Come and see these new flowers I have cultivated! The seeds were all brought back by your father in the Nether, isn't it beautiful? With that, she led me to the flower garden and patiently explained them to me one by one. I saw the beads of sweat on her forehead reflecting the light coldly under the reflection of the sun, and my heart became warm, and I echoed in a low voice: "It's good-looking, it's really good-looking." ”
In such a collapsed world, it is probably the happiest thing to be able to leave behind your worries and keep your heart doing what you want to do. It was also a blessing for my mother.
At this time, she also saw Lord Sharon standing aside, and greeted her with a smile on her face, and Lord Sharon also responded politely: "Madam." ”
While the two of them were talking, I walked around the mansion, and although Lord Sharon had already told me about the layout of the rooms before, there were some things that I had to feel on my own.
When I arrived at the inner courtyard, it suddenly seemed a little deserted, and there was no one around. The ground is dark and bright reflecting the reflection of people, I can clearly see my appearance, exactly the same dress as him, it seems that I have seen him again in a trance, but what I have left in my heart is only endless loss.
This is where he grew up. I can't imagine what his trajectory was like. I am afraid that the things he experienced when he was a child were very different from mine, right? I wonder if he is playing and frolicking under this huge white stone pillar? Or have you ever touched these perfect walls?
I pushed open the large stone door and walked into my room. Surprisingly, unlike other places, this room has large floor-to-ceiling windows, which makes it very well lit and well ventilated.
The rest of the decoration is the same as the whole building, except that there are a few more pots of greenery in the room, which seems to have been placed here by my mother. It seems that even though my brother doesn't come back here often, my mother still thinks about him all the time, and this may be my mother's concern.
I turned around and found that Lord Sharon was standing in front of me, his expression somewhat serious.
I asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Before negotiating with the nobles, I think it's necessary for you to meet someone."
"Who?"
"Your fiancée, Miss Lillian of House Stirling."
What the?
I, I, I, I even have a fiancée?
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
I always thought that Lord Sharon and Dingenelle were a couple. But now it seems...... What is the relationship between Lord Sharon and me?
As if he had seen through my thoughts, Lord Sharon said in a somewhat helpless tone, "What are you thinking?" He and I are just regular work partners......"
"But you like him," I continued, recalling what she had said to me in the woods, "isn't that too cruel for you?" ”
"I don't care, I just know."
"So," I asked cautiously, "what do you like about him?" ”
"He saved me, that's all." Lord Sharon turned around and ended the topic with a very bland sentence.
And my mood at the moment has not been able to calm down as quickly as hers, after all, it is quite a scary thing for someone to suddenly tell you that you have a fiancée.
I thought for a moment and asked, "So, what is the relationship between me and this young lady?" ”
"It's not good or not," Lord Sharon paused for a moment, and continued, "This was set between the two families in exchange of interests when you were still very young. You've been used to having such a fiancée since you were a child, and you see each other often, but you've seen less in recent years. As for whether he likes her or not...... I think he treats her the same way he treats others. But she's always liked your brother. ”
"That's not good, forget about other things, how can I rob my brother's fiancée? It's really ......" I can't describe how I'm feeling right now.
Lord Sharon glanced at me, her expression was surprisingly calm, and she spoke: "Originally, the elder brother of the two brothers was engaged to the young lady of the Stirling family, but before he took your place as her fiancé, and now, it is just to correct the original mistake. In addition, as I said before, your brother and the young lady of the Stirling family were not close before, so what do you have to worry about? ”
Looking at her eloquent look, I couldn't find anything to refute, so I could only say helplessly: "Then why do we have to go to see her?" ”
"Because of her special status, the Stirling family also has a great say in the eight nobles, and even whether it can be done this time depends on her prediction."
"Prophecy?" I was a little confused, but Lord Sharon explained, "You should know that there is a special class of people in human society, who are the descendants of humans and gods. They are called prophets, able to foresee fragments of the future. ”
"Of course I know that."
"This ability to foresee the future is essentially inherited from the power of the gods, but not all gods can predict the future. On the contrary, such people are also very rare in the Protoss, and Lilian happens to be a person with this ability. It's just that while she can predict the future, she has basically lost her other abilities as a god, so she can't leave the god domain casually. And this foreknowledge is also conditional. You can only foresee things that are related to you or have intersections, and these things cannot be things that happen to you, that is, the prophet cannot foresee your future. At the same time, although the Protoss's foresight was not as fragmented and messy as that of the Prophet, it was equally uncertain about time. But," said Lord Sharon for a moment, then continued, "Unlike what the prophets foresaw, the future foreseen by the Protoss is uncertain, that is, it may change. ”
"What does that mean?"
Lord Sharon looked at me again and said meaningfully, "Unlike the predetermined future given to the human race, the ability that the Protoss exchanged for souls in ancient times itself contained the ability to change the laws of the world. Therefore, when the environment in which the Protoss prophet himself lives, the people or things he experiences change, the things that will happen around him will also change. It is not easy to ask the Protoss dignitaries in the current world situation, to be honest. The Protoss have always been xenophobic and collective-minded, and do not tolerate anyone taking the slightest advantage from them. And it is true that they are not in a good situation now, although they are still friendly with us on the surface, but in fact, the contradictions with the Holy Court are becoming more and more prominent. Coupled with the understanding of the current situation, the eight nobles will definitely not let us get our wish easily. If the prophecy does not turn out well, we are likely to return in vain. ”
I looked down and thought for a moment, and asked, "So you're hoping that the outcome of Lillian's prophecy will be in our favor?" ”
Lord Sharon shook her head and continued, "She will definitely tell the truth about the results of the prophecy, and presumably the results this time should be as unoptimistic as the previous ones. But how to describe what is foreseen is all up to Lillian. This time, I asked you to meet her, hoping that you could learn through her about the current movements in the Divine Domain, and whether anything major had happened. Let's see if there's any information we can use. ”
