The Conflict Between Light and Darkness (12)
At this moment, as soon as Arturi pulled, Lily's hand was wrapped between the chains, and he was involuntarily forced to move in his direction, he reached out and held it, and suddenly lowered his head and branded a kiss on her hand, this time it was a real kiss hand, not just didn't touch it when they met before, his lips were very soft, with a slightly cool temperature, Lily seemed to be touched by jelly at that moment, and the soft touch only stayed on her hand for a while, and he quickly raised his head again:
"Then let me mention you one more thing, I know the whereabouts of the Scepter of Light." The Scepter of Light is a sacred relic belonging to the Temple of Light, and many people may not be able to see this scepter in their lifetime, but he has the ability to know the whereabouts of the scepter, so it can be seen that the power of the Arturi family is probably greater than that rumored in the Luolan Continent, and the strength of this Grand Duke is only equivalent to the king of a small country.
With that, Arturi let go of Lily's hand, and removed the silver chain that was wrapped around his hand, and he sat up straight, and regained his previous indifferent and restrained appearance, and leaned back in the carriage with his eyes closed.
He was like a devil who was good at demagoguery, and he was the first to mention the Temple of Light when he first talked about it, but then he stopped in the middle of it.
Lily is not a person with a lot of curiosity, but now what Arturi said sounds like something related to the task, this time the original clueless task, he said it so intermittently, Lily felt that something was wrong, and she wanted to listen to Arturi say something more, so that she could count a little more in her heart. After going back, I will reintegrate the information I know now, and then analyze it carefully, but I didn't expect him to stop talking, and Baihe Time had the urge to pinch his neck and force him to continue talking.
"Your Excellency knows the whereabouts of the Scepter of Light?" Lily resisted the urge to ask, she was not Arturi's opponent, even if he looked like an ordinary aristocratic lord at this moment, and there was no threat, but Lily could feel it, if she really wanted to move. He can kill himself without playing a whistle! She deliberately picked a topic and wanted to continue the conversation with him. No longer looking like he didn't want to deal with him just now, Arturi closed his eyes and nodded slightly:
"Want?"
If the Scepter of Light really gets it, then even if she can't be the Pope. After all, there have been no women among the popes. But if she had the scepter in her hand. Most of the Archbishops, who have both prestige and strength, want to cooperate with her, and then she can turn from a disadvantageous situation and turn from an outcast into a pawn. Of course Lily wants.
"Does His Majesty the Emperor know the whereabouts of the scepter?"
Instead of answering Arturi's question, Lily asked another question. If the whereabouts of the scepter are known to the emperor, then the Holy See will definitely know about it, if so, what the temple has not taken back for many years, even if it knows who it is, if it doesn't come back, it will definitely be the strength of the temple, and the armed forces of the Honore Empire can't reach the scepter. And if the Emperor of Nore did not know the whereabouts of the scepter, and Arturi knew, then the power of Arturi could already be imagined.
She asked the question very cleverly, and Arturi made it clear that he wanted something from her, and instead of answering it directly, she threw out another question. Arturi replied yes or no, she could deduce good news from it, even if he was silent, Lily could get the answer from his attitude.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she asked, Arturi suddenly opened his eyes and laughed softly.
It wasn't the first time he had laughed in front of the lily, but it was the first time he had actually laughed, and his laughter was clear, like a trickle of water slowly flowing into the eardrums, and he slanted his eyebrows, his eyes were languid and dangerous:
"Ma'am." There was a bit of banter in his smile, as if he had seen through all the tricks played by Lily, and his gaze seemed to be able to see straight into people's hearts, and his eyes were not sharp, but they made people not want to look at him for a long time.
"Does it matter if the emperor knows it or not? I just sue you he doesn't know, with the lady's current ability, still can't get the scepter, if I sue the lady he knows, what can you change? A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if to say: You see, no matter how much scheming you have, it is useless to have the strength to match it; And if he has absolute strength, even if he doesn't play tricks, things are still in his hands.
"You see, you can't change the outcome, why would you want to know more?"
Lily was a little wolf by his eyes, she didn't expect Arturi to answer her with such words, although she was a little unwilling, but she had to admit that Arturi meant the right, who has a hard fist, who is the boss! She forced herself to calm down, Arturi didn't want to play scheming, but it didn't mean that he didn't have scheming, he couldn't get any useful words out of his mouth, and he didn't know what his intentions were, he took the initiative to mention these things, but he just shut up halfway through speaking, Lily exhaled deeply, and clenched the amethyst chain in his hand, until the palm of her hand was about the size of a child's palm, and she felt the pain, she calmed down, and found that what she was holding originally belonged to Arturi.
The chain was wrapped tightly between her fingers, and she took it off, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Arturi:
"Your thing, my lord."
"Given to you as a gift for a date, don't like it?" Arturi looked at her calm face, his smile was not completely retracted, he asked, Lily shook her head: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just such a precious thing, I can't ask for it." ”
The amethyst looks quite small and very pure, and the price of such a large piece of crystal of high color and texture is no worse than that of a gemstone. The crystal was surrounded by tiny gemstones, worn by silver chains, and the sunlight refracted from the car window shone on the crystal, and the amethyst exuded a bewitching and crystalline brilliance, and Lily looked at it again, and then looked away.
Arturi was not angry at her refusal, he just grabbed the chain carelessly, opened the drawer of the carriage and threw the crystal chain into it, when he opened the drawer, Lily saw a book in the clean drawer, when she got into the carriage yesterday, she had seen a book and a crystal pressed on Arturi's desk, thinking that it should be yesterday's one.
The book looked to be a few years old, and the cover was supposed to be made of sheepskin, with something written in ancient characters on it, which she didn't recognize, and she just saw in a trance, when the crystal was thrown on the book, Lily vaguely seemed to see one. The shape of the word pre was revealed through the surface of the crystal, just now it was clear that she didn't know the words of the book, and I don't know if she was wrong, after all, the font refracted by the crystal on the book may change, and it is very likely to cause some coincidence, and when she came back to her senses and wanted to take another look, Arturi had already closed the drawer casually.
"How?" Lily's somewhat strange face made Arturi ask, "Want it again?" ”
He hadn't taken his hand off the drawer yet, just now it was clear that he didn't want it, and at this time natural lily would not say anything remorseful, not to mention that the jewels in this mission world could not be taken away for her, and the things that seemed precious to others were of no use to her at all, and the gorgeous clothes and jewels were not very attractive to her, she shook her head, although she knew that Arturi had a complicated mind and would not necessarily answer her words, but she still asked cheekily:
"I just saw a book, do adults like to read?"
Arturi stretched out his hand to prop himself on the low table, a few strands of pale blonde hair hanging down on his full and white forehead: "When I'm bored, I'll find something to pass the time." ”
"What kind of book is that?" His attitude was not to reject the coldness of thousands of miles away, but to be willing to talk to her, and Lily asked again: "The text above does not seem to be Loran's script." ”
"Of course, this is an ancient text, and this book ......" Arturi happily answered the doubts in Lily's heart, but when he talked about this book, he stretched out his tone, and his blue eyes narrowed, I don't know if it was because of the light in the carriage, or because of his squinting movements, his eyes suddenly seemed a little deep and dark: "It's a great prophecy spell, do you want it?" ”
When Lily heard the words 'Great Prophecy Mantra', she couldn't help but laugh along with it.
There are traditions and beliefs in the Luolan Continent, human beings believe in the existence of the creator god, believe in the goddess of light and the goddess of darkness, and even build temples for it, and people of different beliefs have even joined different camps.
But for the Great Prophecy Curse, not only human beings do not believe in it, but I am afraid that even God may not believe it.
But there is indeed a great prophecy spell in the Luolan Continent, and it is said that this is a ruling that even the creation god can restrain himself, and the legend says that this is a magical spell that can turn the world upside down and destroy the gods.
And the bards of the Loland continent play the organ in the major taverns, and when they talk about legendary myths, they love to use this magical allusion.
And it must begin with: God said, Let there be light, and then there will be light in this world.
This familiar statement is known to almost every Lorainan, but no one believes in the existence of the Great Prophecy.
It is like a slogan representing the supremacy, and even the most advanced one in the temple will tell you categorically that there is no great prophecy in this world, it is just a bard weaving something that represents a supreme falsehood. (To be continued......)
