Black Castle, the dormitory of Grand Duke Ivan.

Butler Mubai stood respectfully at the door of the dormitory as usual, waiting for Grand Duke Ivan.

Grand Duke Ivan had just stepped out of the dormitory, and Butler Mu Bai hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and raised his head, and said softly: "Grand Duke, Grand Duke Litus is already waiting for you in the main hall." ”

"Littles?" Grand Duke Ivan was expressionless, "What is the matter with him coming to Castle Black?" ”

"It's early in the morning, and it's said that there is something to discuss." Mubai housekeeper said.

"Really?" Grand Duke Ivan said coldly: "Let him wait in the main hall for a while, and then invite him to the study." ”

Butler Mu Bai said softly: "Yes." He thought to himself, "Grand Duke Ivan has always been like this, but Grand Duke Litus is good-tempered and never cares." ”

Of the several palaces in Castle Black, the main hall is the most magnificent. The rectangular hall, except for the transparent ice crystal floor-to-ceiling windows on the east and west sides, is made of black crystal stone. There are no windows in the main hall, but only a quarter of the upper and lower parts of the ice crystal floor-to-ceiling windows are hollowed out into a beautiful rose pattern. The crystal chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling are inlaid with white night pearls. In the Age of Light, crystal chandeliers were decoration, not illumination.

On the high platform in the middle of the north wall of the main hall is a tall white ornate throne, sitting north and facing south. It takes more than a dozen steps to reach the high throne, which allows those who sit on the throne to have a panoramic view of the entire hall.

People above the earl level in the Protoss, or elders of the Council of Elders, and the patriarch of the Demon Clan will only arrange to receive them in the main hall when they visit. The dukes or lords of the Protoss who come to visit will generally only arrange the side hall next to the main hall.

Grand Duke Litus looked at the empty hall and sighed in his heart: "For more than five thousand years, except for the day when Ivan was awarded the title of Marquis of Raphael and the day when Ivan became the Grand Duke of the Protoss Council, the main hall of Castle Black has not held a banquet. ”

Butler Mu Bai hurriedly walked into the main hall, bowed respectfully to Grand Duke Litus, and raised his head slightly: "Grand Duke Litus, please wait a moment." ”

"It doesn't matter." Grand Duke Litus smiled slightly, looked at Mu Bai's butler, and thought to himself: "The butlers of the Protoss Palace are generally demon people who have a powerful magic power when the source of magic power is burned to the extreme. However, Mu Bai is an exception, he is a Mu Clan with no magic source. The Hengyu family, which controls the position of the patriarch of the wood clan, recommended to Ivan Mu Bai Hengyu, who has no magic source, as the housekeeper of the Black Castle, which is really a bit incredible. ”

It is said that Mu Bai is known for his thoughtfulness and calmness, and has been the steward of Castle Black for more than 300 years, and has won Ivan's trust. If it weren't for the colorful dragon balls that Mu Bai carried with him, Grand Duke Litus would have wanted to use his mind-reading skills.

"Littles, Littles." Grand Duke Litus heard two gentle calls, it was Wen Ying's voice, he was overjoyed in his heart, and was about to perform teleportation, when he saw Mu Bai's calm and old face, he forcibly took back his divine power, but his body trembled slightly.

Grand Duke Litus entered the study, and Butler Mubai turned to leave, and closed the study door casually.

Grand Duke Ivan was wearing a navy blue robe with black trim, his long golden hair was curled up at will, he sat lazily on the wide sofa, did not get up, and said coldly: "Grand Duke Litus came to Castle Black early in the morning, what are you doing?" ”

Grand Duke Litus didn't seem to mind Grand Duke Ivan's cold attitude, he sat down next to Grand Duke Ivan by himself, stretched out his hand at will, and laid a divine barrier around the two of them.

"Eric told you to pass the word again." Grand Duke Ivan's tone revealed a hint of disdain.

Archduke Litus said without hesitation: "The situation in the temple is ....... ”

"Two earth women, one alive, has become the living dead, and the other who was originally going to die is still alive and kicking now." Grand Duke Ivan sneered, "Alice's question is something for Eric to consider, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

But the Grand Duke of Litus said, "Why don't you let the bookkeeper bring me a cup of tea?" ”

"You didn't come to Castle Black for tea, so why bother." A sneer flashed at the corner of Grand Duke Ivan's mouth.

Grand Duke Litus said unashamedly and angrily: "Let Wen Ying bring a cup of Liubao tea." ”

"You have already used your divine sense in the main hall, except for the cypress who carries the colorful dragon balls with you, and the attendant slaves of the black castle, everyone has read minds. Wen Ying's situation in the past few days, you already know it. Grand Duke Ivan said coldly.

"In a few days, Queen Catherine of the Flower Spirits will go to the Dream Palace to meet Emperor Eric and Empress Tribis, and invite the Emperor, Empress, and the King of the Protoss to visit the Hundred Flowers Festival on Phney Island. Emperor Eric's decree, on the day you met Queen Catherine, you took Wen Ying to the Dream Palace. Grand Duke Litus's face was calm, and his tone was gentle but insistent, "Ivan, call Wen Ying to the study, I want to see her." ”

Grand Duke Ivan stared at Grand Duke Litus and said softly and coldly: "As you wish." ”

Wen Ying was overjoyed in her heart, thinking about meeting Grand Duke Little, looking at the unhurried steps of Butler Mubai, she couldn't wait to walk in front of Butler Mubai.

A slave girl carries a square begonia red wooden tray, on which is a round, simple and elegant dark purple ceramic teapot, and two delicate dark purple teacups.

Wen Ying respectfully served tea to Grand Duke Litus and Grand Duke Ivan, and then stood aside, looking at Grand Duke Litus with a smile on the corner of her eyebrows and eyes.

When she thought of serving tea, the moment she looked at Archduke Littles, the gentle gaze in those brown deep eyes made her feel warm in her heart.

Grand Duke Litas stared at Wen Ying from time to time, played with the teacup in his hand and said, "Originally, it was only the human race that liked to drink tea, but now not only the demon race, but even the god race also likes to drink tea." The Liubao tea of Black Castle is as bright as gold, very clear, mellow in the mouth, and the aroma is faint, it is really the best Liubao tea in heaven. ”

"The climate of the Qizhou continent is pleasant, and the four seasons are like spring, but you can't grow such good tea. This tea is specially cultivated on the island of Zhouwu in the sea of light and darkness. "Ivan is fair.

Archduke Litus was thoughtful: "Perhaps only through the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter can tea give birth to such a taste." ”

Wen Ying thought to herself, listening to the two of them, in the kingdom of heaven, drinking tea was originally just a habit of the human race, but gradually the demon race and the god race also drank tea.

Butler Mu Bai felt a little puzzled: "Grand Duke Litus went to Castle Black early in the morning just to taste tea?" He glanced at Wen Ying and was thinking, but he heard Ivan say fairly: "You all step back first, Wen Ying will stay alone." ”

Mu Er winked at Wen Ying, walked out of the study quickly, and thought: "Wen Ying can't be as open-mouthed as she was in the Purple Blossom Palace, I hope that the 30 lashes can change her temperament." ”

In more than 300 years since Mubai was the steward of Castle Black, Grand Duke Litus has never visited Castle Black. "Sure enough, it has something to do with Wen Ying. But what could it be? When Mu Bai left the study, he was thinking about the intention of the Grand Duke Little.

At this moment, Yule Chau, the resplendent Selfan Palace. The blue Nasai River, dotted with snow-white lotus flowers in full bloom, meanders through the palace complex of Selfan Palace.

By the Nasai River, on a green lawn, Grand Duke Erica was leisurely half-reclining on a comfortable chaise longue.

A Gabriel countess stood respectfully in front of Archduke Erica, and her tone was a little worried and cautious: "Is it okay to bring only twenty or thirty minor lords?" ”

"It's not meant to be a lot of people. Suffice it to call a few more counts. Why worry about going to Giant Island? Grand Duke Erica said leisurely: "Call dozens of little lords to go, just to give them practice." More than five thousand years have passed since the Holy War, and the Protoss Lords have not had the opportunity to use their divine powers to practice their hands, ....... ”
