Chapter 283: Under the Shadows
Wen Ying took the book, touched the book with her hand, and felt very strange - her hand actually felt a burning and a cold at the same time. It's just that this weird feeling disappeared in an instant.
The material of the book was strange, so strange that she couldn't judge. Not vegetable fibers, not parchment, not silk, not metal, not crystal.
Wen Ying didn't open the book, but flipped the book over, because on the upward side of the book just now, she didn't see the name of the book, only a snow-white crystal. In Wen Ying's subconscious, when reading a book, she naturally has to read the cover of the book and the title of the book first.
Wen Ying was stunned, flipped over, and the writing she saw was the same as the one just now, all snow-white and crystalline, without words. Which side is the cover? Which side is the back cover? Both sides are the same, and there seem to be beautiful runes looming, but when you look closely, it is snow-white and crystalline.
Wen Ying opened the book and was stunned: there were no inner pages in the book, and it was snow-white and crystalline, just like the front and back covers just now. Wen Ying closed the book and opened it again.
"Is this a book cover? There are no inner pages in the book. In Wen Ying's view, how can a book without an inner page be called a book?
Emperor Eric looked at Wen Ying, to be precise, at Wen Ying's left arm. Wen Ying was wearing a bandeau phoenix feather coat, and her arms were bare. When Wen Ying opened the snow-white and crystalline book, a beautiful and strange red rune suddenly appeared on her left arm. The runes seemed to be moving extremely fast, and they seemed to be moving extremely slowly. Wen Ying couldn't see the runes, but Emperor Eric did. So, Emperor Eric smiled, relieved.
Hahaha...... Emperor Eric looked up and laughed.
Wen Ying held the so-called book in her hand and stood cramped. She thought Emperor Eric seemed to be happy.
Suddenly, the book had returned from Wen Ying's hand to Emperor Eric, and he said, "It's just a very interesting book, and I will give it to you after sixteen years." ”
"Remember my words, do my will, and in sixteen years you will be free."
"The day you find the light source, you can return to Earth."
"You don't need to let Ivan know about today's affairs in the imperial study." Emperor Eric said, "Sixteen years later, he will be nothing more than a slave, and the less he knows, the better." ”
"Ivan loves you very much, he has never loved a woman so much, you don't hurt him, this is my order." Emperor Eric sighed and said, "Ivan is different from Litus, without you, Ivan would have died, and without you, Litus would still be alive." ”
"From now on, you will often go to the bottom of the dark lake in the Dark Isles, to see King Joy, and to talk to King Joy." Emperor Eric's voice carried a hint of sadness, "Joey, he's been lonely and lonely. ”
"Don't think that if I die in sixteen years, you can disobey my commands."

When Wen Ying opened her eyes, she found that she was already in another palace, the one that Grand Duke Ivan told her to "stay in". She knew that she had been teleported to the palace by Emperor Eric.
She felt that her legs were weak and she was about to lose her legs.
"Ivan--- Ivan." Wen Ying hurriedly called. No response was heard.
"Alaric--- Alaric." Wen Ying changed her name. Still no one responded.
Wen Ying sat slumped on the soft carpet, her fair face flushed. Emperor Eric's words echoed in his mind.
After a while, a demon attendant came in, and Wen Ying learned that Grand Duke Ivan and Count Alaric had gone to Erhai Lake to enjoy the lake view, taste the lotus mist, and accompany Emperor Eric and Empress Tribiss for dinner.
"This is a great event for the Dream Palace." The tone of a female attendant was joyful, this attendant obviously knew the love of Grand Duke Ivan for Wen Ying, and there was an obvious flattering meaning in her tone: "Queen Cuibisi has a divine fetus in her body......" For the demon race and the human race, the pregnancy of the divine woman should be called "pregnant with a divine fetus" to show the difference.
The waitress chattered endlessly, but Wen Ying was in a trance: "Pregnant with a god fetus? ”
The waitress whispered, "We Terrans are called pregnant. ”
Is Queen Trebess pregnant? Is the three-star castle prophecy really true? Sixteen years later, when Trebes died, her child was only three years old. Wen Ying knew that human beings were pregnant for ten months, however, a god woman would only be fully developed if she was pregnant for at least ten years. The exact length of time varies from person to person. Some are ten years, some are more than ten years, and the longest is thirty years. It is said that the Holy Father was conceived in his mother's body for thirty years before he came. Aris, the mother of the Holy Father, is honored as Our Lady by the people of heaven.
When the waitress saw Wen Ying's trance-like expression, she thought that Wen Ying was also shocked by this great joy, but she didn't know that Wen Ying was in a trance because she thought of the prophecy of the three-star castle and thought that fate could not be violated.
"The child who was held in his arms in the Holy Square was born thirteen years later." Wen Ying thought to herself: "Count Damon and the Xenomorphic Crystal Weapon can't be found, and Cui Bisi is pregnant, could it be that fate is really inviolable?" ”
"Really? Are you sure? Wen Ying muttered.
The waitress said affirmatively, "Of course it's true. ”
For some reason, Wen Ying's mind suddenly came up with the fragrant picture of Empress Emerald and Grand Duke Ivan in the main hall of the Palace of the Flame Island, and thought of the little boy with the same red hair as the Grand Duke of Litus in the prophecy of the three-star castle, and all kinds of feelings came to her heart.
Thinking that he was worried in the imperial study, Grand Duke Ivan accompanied Empress Cui Bisi in Erhai Lake, enjoyed the lake view, tasted lotus mist, and had dinner together! In Wen Ying's heart, among the various tastes, a sour taste seemed to prevail.
"I want to eat! I'm hungry. Wen Ying interrupted the waitress's chatter and said.

The turquoise Erhai Lake is surrounded by mountains.
Emperor Eric did not like any buildings on the lake, so the pavilion originally built by Emperor Lorenzo on the Erhai Sea was demolished on the second day after Emperor Eric moved into the Dream Palace, and a group of pavilions were built on the west side of the Erhai Lake, because Emperor Eric liked to face the east and watch the red, blue and white sun rise from the mountains that were shaded, illuminating the original turquoise lake in five colors.
At this moment, every pavilion and pavilion was full of people from the Protoss.
In the hexagonal pavilion near the lake at the front, Grand Duke Ivan had a cold face. Before Emperor Eric arrived at the shore of Erhai Lake, he had already telegraphed to Grand Duke Ivan, ordering him to wait until the dinner was over before returning to the mountain. Therefore, throughout the dinner, Grand Duke Ivan was as cold as ice, and he only thought that the dinner would end as soon as possible and see Wen Ying as soon as possible.
Queen Tribiss is pregnant with a divine fetus, and her mood is extremely happy. During the banquet, accompanied by the Marquis Harvey, she personally went to every pavilion to toast and enjoy the congratulations and blessings of the earls of the Protoss. She was still thinking about how to carry out the grand celebration ceremony when the good news was announced to the world tomorrow.
A small pavilion in the far corner, the building is small and exquisite, suitable for four people to sit and watch, but there are only two Earls of Alaric and Count Taylor.
When the two saw Empress Tribes and Marquis Harvey entering the pavilion, they hurriedly got up to toast.
Queen Emerald's charming face was crimson, and her beautiful green eyes were radiant.
Count Alaric and Count Taylor naturally congratulated and blessed a lot of words.
Queen Emerald took a sip of the silver lily wine in the crystal cup and said with a smile: "For more than five thousand years, Araric's preference for women has remained the same. ”
Count Alaric was stunned and said with a smile: "As long as there are beautiful women, I like them." If you have an attractive figure, you prefer. ”
"Really?" The smile on the corner of Queen Tribis's mouth was undisguised in sarcasm, and she said: "Five thousand years ago, Ivan fell in love with Scarlett, and you secretly fell in love with Scarlett. Now, Ivan is in love with Wen Ying, and you have a crush on Wen Ying. ”
Empress Tribiss said with a smile as she walked outside the pavilion: "Could it be that on the day of ten thousand years, you still exist under Ivan's shadow?" Not only obeyed the orders of Grand Duke Ivan, but also loved the woman that Ivan loved? ”
