Chapter 20: The Ringing Spirit (4)
"It's ...... What a profound illusion it is that allows objects to penetrate the confines of space......" Zeroth muttered a few words in a muttered voice, before closing his eyes in deep thought. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The princess's eyes twined slightly, and her suspicion deepened, she was careful not to disturb her father's contemplation, and her green fingers lightly touched a peacock-shaped potted plant placed on the ancient oak table.
Thick oval petals, milky white edges, elegant goose yellow in the center, the flower branches are faint and pretty, but the branches are vigorous and curved, there is a kind of wind bones.
As time passed, the bright and brilliant sun gradually rose into the sky, and even with the intricate leaf crowns and vines blocking it, the heat wave of the fire still swept into the dormitory.
The heat in the hall was so hot that people were a little breathless, and the damp sweat on his body and the sticky hair between his sideburns made people even more irritable.
Gillam walked cautiously up to the princess and whispered a few words in her ear, and when the princess nodded in agreement, she walked away.
It didn't take long for Gillam to bring two cups of sour plum barley kernel soup and place them lightly on the ancient oak coffee table.
Princess Ling is also idle, hot and sleepy, plus she didn't sleep well last night, and now her temples are jumping and jumping.
Gillam was on his side, and his gestures were also subtle, serving the princess with some cold sour plum barley kernel soup.
The princess's face was a little more relaxed, and her sleepy and irritable mood was slightly relieved, looking at her father leaning back in the chair, the summer soup in front of him was not moving at all, and his eyes were closed, as if he was asleep.
Gillam put away the used bowl of soup and stepped back lightly.
The princess's quiet eyes drooped slightly, sighed lightly, and picked up the two rings again to take a closer look.
Zelas's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes blazing, and he spat out two words heavily: "Phantoms!" ”
The princess was obviously startled by her father's abrupt voice, and hurriedly asked, "What did father think?" ”
Zelas's eyes sparkled with a sparkle of precision, and he said firmly, "It must be a phantom, it must be a phantom!" ”
Princess Ling gasped, and her heart was even more suspicious, and she asked, "Father, didn't the legendary Phantom Spirit of the Protoss die with the Beast King Qilin during the War of the Century?" ”
He hesitated and said in a low voice: "Mei'er, think about it, in this world, who is qualified to have such profound illusions?" I'm afraid there is no one else to think about except the phantoms of the Protoss. ”
He picked up the soup bowl in front of him and drank it, the cool and sweet soup smoothed through his throat, which was very comfortable.
He paused and continued: "I thought about it in my mind, how long has it been since the Protoss had the power of the level of phantoms, and in this way, I am afraid that only during the War of the Century, the Protoss had three phantoms. ”
The princess was not convinced, and her eyes turned slightly: "It has been a thousand years since the war of the century, even if it is a phantom spirit, how can it survive a thousand years of yang life?" ”
Zelas pursed his lips and smiled: "Mei'er, there are too many unexplained things in this world, and there are also many theories of cause and effect reincarnation, perhaps, death means another kind of rebirth, and it is not known." ”
The princess nodded as if she didn't understand, her soft jade white fingers stroked the silky long skirt, and said, "Father, the rest is not important, Erchen just wants to ask one thing, how should these two spirit stones be worn for Ze'er and Man'er?" ”
"Mei'er doesn't know, these two spirit stones are the most precious treasures in the world, and it is very likely that the soul of the phantom spirit is parasitic among them!"
The princess picked up a feather fan and shook it gently, the fragrance of rouge filled the air, and she asked softly: "But those who have the royal way will win the world, and those who have the soul will have eternal life?" ”
Zelas's gaze went straight into the depths of his daughter's eyes, and he said firmly, "Yes, these are the two things I said!" ”
The princess was shocked in her heart, and the corners of her forehead were already dripping with beads of sweat, and she hurriedly threw the luminous shellfish on the coffee table and looked at it with a look of jealousy.
Zelas, however, changed his previous calm demeanor and laughed heartily, "My Mei'er, if the world knew that you were possessing such a divine object at this time, I am afraid that your Linglu Palace would have been flattened a long time ago." As he spoke, he picked up the luminous shell and looked at it for a long time, as if his eyes were turning over contradictions and struggles.
The princess's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her slender nails unconsciously pinched into her palms, "Father, you ......"
Sensing nothing, Zelas took a ring from the luminous shell and took it to the finger of his right hand.
"Father, how can you ......" The princess's long eyelashes trembled violently, and she was secretly a little anxious in her heart, but she wanted to step forward to stop it, but she was afraid that she would anger her father at the moment.
Zelas was anxious to put the ring on, but all five fingers were changed and he couldn't put the ring back in. He refused to give up, so he tried another ring, and the result was the same.
"How did this ring grow so small!" Zeroth said in a sudden rage, slamming the spirit stone on the ancient oak coffee table.
"Father, ...... you" The princess hurriedly picked up the ring from the coffee table and put it back into the luminous shell.
Her face seemed to be unfazed, but her heart was turbulent, and she subconsciously protected the luminous shell in her hand, and then secretly sighed, and said in a gentle voice: "Father, this is the phantom entrustment, to be worn on Ze'er and Man'er." ”
As soon as he heard the name of his grandson, the heat and greed in Zelas's eyes slowly receded, his eyes were gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Since ancient times, there are clouds, treasures are moving, children are moving, the old man has lived for most of his life, and he has not escaped the words of his predecessors, the old man is ashamed, ashamed!" ”
The princess looked out the window at the tall palm trees, the vines hanging from the branches and canopy, swaying in the wind, and the narrow green plantain leaves stretching out of the window, rustling in the sway.
In Mei'er's heart, she actually didn't want to blame her father, but had a deep understanding and bitterness, her father had been running around in the realm of Loilai for more than ten years, reselling sea salt was fake, and doing detailed work to collect intelligence was true.
As for getting the title of a prophet, Mei'er only sneered in her heart, it was nothing more than a senator who had nothing to do in the name of luxury, but did not have half of the real power, with her status as the princess of the Spirit Clan, what could be rare?
Thinking of this, the expression on her face dimmed a little, and she sighed softly: "The phantom spirit once left a warning, saying that the form of shaking light is like a dragon and a phoenix dance, the light is magnificent, peaceful and dazzling, and when the stars turn, it has the potential to absorb everything. ”
There was a hint of embarrassment on Zeroth's face, but he slowly thought about it, "What else did you say?" ”
The princess groaned slightly, and continued, "The phantom also mentioned the Twilight Star. ”
"It's the first time I've heard of Shake Light, but this old man has heard of the twilight star, this star is extremely difficult to observe, and most of them appear at ten o'clock in the twilight, which is also an auspicious omen."
The princess's gaze seemed to be ignited, and she said again and again: "The phantom said that this twilight star resembles the meandering posture of a white dragon, and it is extremely delicate and domineering, and it can be called the best among dragons. It's a pity...... The golden light flashed, but the aura was insufficient, and Chenhui was sluggish in the twilight, fearing that he would fall in the sky. ”
At the end, the princess's long eyelashes trembled violently, like wings hanging down, and shining tears hung from them.
As a mother, how could she allow her son to be in half danger?
"It can be seen that these two spirit stones already have their own belongings."
Zelas hesitated, thought for a moment before saying, "This twilight star...... I'm afraid it's Ze'er. ”
"It's just...... Just the father...... How do I choose? Cold teardrops had already slid down her cheeks, and the princess's vague intentions were self-evident.
The white dragon, which means the dragon in the water, must refer to the only son of Princess Ling, Prince Luze.
When the fear of falling in Tianye is not exactly saying that the white dragon has a shallow longevity and needs a spirit stone to recuperate.
The princess felt even deeper sorrow in her heart, tears fell irrepressibly, and she choked up: "The sky is unfair, why does the son of this palace suffer such a fate?" ”
Zelas seemed to be unfazed on his face, but his heart was tumbling with turbulent waves, "In this way, the soul ring should be for Ze'er, and as for the king ring, it is for Princess Man'er." ”
Zelas's thick eyebrows furrowed, his slightly old face fluttered with a dull color, and his broad palm slammed down on the ancient oak coffee table with a muffled 'bang'.
Perhaps, no one can do it by handing over the supreme royal power in the world!
His voice was cold, without a trace of warmth, and he said word by word: "There is a way to 'take success in detail, wealth and danger in the need', and the old man also wants to seek a better entry and exit for his grandson." ”
The princess raised her eyebrows suddenly, and asked with teary eyes, "What is that according to my father's opinion?" ”
Zelas's face suddenly rose with a touch of ruthlessness, and he lowered his voice and said, "If the little princess is allowed to disappear into this world forever, then won't the soul ring and the king ring all belong to our Ze'er?" ”
The princess said categorically: "No! This is against the sky, and it must not be done! ”
Zeroth's gaze was firmly pressed on Mei'er's face, "Then there is only one way...... Reversing black and white, if he is in need, it is not too late to switch it over. ”
The princess sighed lightly and nodded slowly, the views of the two coincided.
