Chapter 229: Circles and Triangles
Amy Riken Chau, Black Castle, Study.
Behind the large black crystal desk, Grand Duke Ivan sat in a tall high-backed chair, his mind sensing the woman sitting across from the black crystal desk.
The dark crystal desk was very large, with a large rectangular magic mirror standing upright in the corner of the desk. The woman sat facing Grand Duke Ivan. In front of the woman, there was also a rectangular magic mirror, but it was much smaller than the one used by Grand Duke Ivan.
And on the desk, there is actually a little golden dragon lurking. The little golden dragon's wings hung down at his sides, his head drooped on the table, his blood-red eyes, looking at women from time to time, full of well-behaved.
The woman wore a long-sleeved robe made of blue cotton, with a simple style. Her long jet-black hair was softly draped, and the hair on her left and right temples was tied into delicate braids, gathered behind her head, pinned with a brilliant ruby hair ornament, so that her long hair would not be messy.
The woman was Wen Ying, holding a snow-white quill pen and writing on a small parchment book.
The sheepskin was slightly larger and longer than Wen Ying's palm, but it was as thick as Wen Ying's thumb. This is the best quality parchment, as thin as a silkworm wing, with a faint yellow color, but it does not penetrate the ink. This parchment book has 500 pages of parchment.
Grand Duke Ivan found it amusing, and when Wen Ying used this parchment book, she not only started using it from the first page on the front, but also from the first page on the back of the book. From the first page on the front, Wen Ying recorded some texts related to the Xenomorph Crystal Weapon.
According to the habits of Grand Duke Ivan in Castle Black, after dinner, before midnight, except for the dinner with the Earls of the Protoss, or the night banquet when foreign royal families come to visit, Grand Duke Ivan will generally stay in the study for a while.
The Heavenly Kingdom of the Light Age is a peaceful and prosperous era, although Grand Duke Ivan needs to deal with the government affairs of Emriken and Ayveric Continent, but in addition to major matters, each independent city is under the jurisdiction of the counts, and the mind reading and telephony of the Protoss are a great deterrent to other races, so whether it is the Grand Duke of Ivan or the Earls of the Protoss, the night is actually leisure. The Protoss has existed for a long time, and it can replace sleep through meditation, so the night often becomes a good time for the Protoss to have fun.
For more than 5,000 years of nights, except for summoning the gods or demons, and these women, after looking at them, Grand Duke Ivan would not let them stay by his side, and most of the nights, Grand Duke Ivan spent alone in Castle Black. When he didn't have to deal with government affairs and didn't have a night feast, he either read books from various ethnic groups in his study or meditated in his dormitory.
However, since Wen Ying appeared, things have changed. Especially when she came back from Powder Sand Island, Wen Ying woke up, and Grand Duke Ivan was in Castle Black, so she let Wen Ying follow her everywhere. Therefore, after dinner every day, Grand Duke Ivan is in the study, and Wen Ying will also be in the study.
In the past few nights, whenever in the study, when Grand Duke Ivan was dealing with government affairs, Wen Ying sat quietly opposite Grand Duke Ivan, carefully reading the thick and large parchment booklet related to heteropolar crystal ore.
Wen Ying looked at it very carefully, and as she looked at it, she also wrote down something in the small parchment.
Wen Ying's expression was focused, and she sighed softly from time to time, or the corners of her mouth curled up, as if she had a question. Wen Ying's demeanor made Grand Duke Ivan feel cute and funny.
The Protoss will never forget, as long as they have seen it, seen it, or even heard it, they will not forget it. Therefore, the people of the Protoss do not need to be like the demons or the human race, and they need to strengthen their memory by "taking notes".
Probably tired of reading, Wen Ying closed the booklet, she stretched her waist, and actually yawned. Then, Wen Ying flipped through the small parchment book in her hand, turned to the first page on the back, and drew a circle on it.
"What are you drawing?" Grand Duke Ivan asked. He sensed it and knew that Wen Ying had drawn a circle.
On this page of parchment, there are no words, there are just numbers and symbols. Two symbols, a circle and a triangle.
The numerical mark for the first line is 11911-12-4. Looking at the strings of numbers, Grand Duke Ivan was sure that these numbers were marking time. The number in the first row, 11911 is the year of the X era, December 4, that night, he opened his mouth and begged Wen Ying to stay with him for sixteen years. That night, Wen Ying promised to stay with him for sixteen years. After that string of numbers, there is a circle and a triangle.
After each string of numbers, there will be one or two symbols. Now, Wen Ying has drawn a total of fifteen symbols, twelve circles, and only three triangles.
Since that night, Wen Ying has said to herself: "In the past sixteen years, it has been regarded as acting." She quietly hid her thoughts and emotions, and always reminded herself not to disobey Grand Duke Ivan, but to please this man. Wen Ying understood the horror of this man's anger, and she thought to herself: "Since you have to endure sixteen years, then let these sixteen years be more comfortable." She began to pay attention to the habits and preferences of Grand Duke Ivan, and began to observe words and feelings. She even reminded herself from time to time: in the face of Grand Duke Ivan, you have to smile.
Wen Ying's least favorite thing is the joy of Grand Duke Ivan at night. However, she doesn't want to be like the heroine of a romance novel, guarding her chastity for the man she loves. The experience of the Walker Camp made Wen Ying's heart palpitate. In the matter of love, Wen Ying chose to give in. She thought to herself, Han Xin can endure the humiliation of her crotch, what can't she do. Stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no wood to burn. If she went to the Walker Camp again and became a slave, Wen Ying would be unbearable for those days.
Wen Ying knew that Grand Duke Litus was very unhappy that he had become Grand Duke Ivan's chamberlain. However, if Archduke Litters abandons Wen Ying because of this, Wen Ying can also abandon Archduke Litus. In Wen Ying's opinion, she was forced to fall in love with Grand Duke Ivan, and if Grand Duke Litus really loved her, he had to forgive her. Otherwise, this man is not worthy of her love.
On Powder Sand Island, Wen Ying knew that Grand Duke Litus had forgiven her, but she had to live up to Grand Duke Little's wishes. Whenever she thought of Grand Duke Littles' hurt and painful eyes that day, Wen Ying's heart was like a knife. However, how could Wen Ying bear to let Grand Duke Litus lose everything for him? Thinking that Grand Duke Litas was going to lose his position as Grand Duke and become a slave for her, Wen Ying would rather lose Grand Duke Littles. Wen Ying thought to herself: "Littles, you have to forgive me, you must forgive me." Sixteen years from now, I'll be back to you, I will. ”
Every day, if Grand Duke Ivan was not angry, Wen Ying would draw a circle on the parchment, and if she made Grand Duke Ivan angry, she would draw a triangle on the parchment to remind herself.
Wen Ying covered the parchment book, she looked up, looked at Grand Duke Ivan, and smiled: "It's nothing, just write and draw." ”
Grand Duke Ivan sensed the woman in front of him, and a subtle hint of displeasure flashed at the corner of his mouth.
The woman in front of her has always been unpredictable for Grand Duke Ivan. This earth woman is sometimes very intelligent, sometimes very dull. She can break the maze with a glass of water, but she talks stupidly regardless of the occasion. She would rather commit suicide than succumb to becoming a slave, but she is willing to beg him for Jin Chen's sake in a low voice and humbly. Through the magic mirror, she was hungry and thirsty, forgetting to sleep and eat to learn the knowledge of heaven, but she could sit in a chair in a daze all morning, doing nothing.
