Chapter 100: Containment
The news of the annihilation of the 20,000 liger cavalry led by Hammer finally reached Byron, and Reynolds, who knew that the previous good news was false, was furious, and immediately sent someone to hang the knight who delivered the message, and immediately decided to lead his troops into the northwest to skin and cramp the two adulterers and adulteresses.
It's a pity that the news of the rebel leader of the Seven Cities of the East China Sea came, and he had to let go of Rafa, the jumping grasshopper, and went to the front line in person to deal with his old enemy.
Freya...... So you're not dead......" On the galloping carriage, Renaud gritted his teeth, he closed his eyes and sat on the luxurious blanket, the black mist swirled around him, like a wandering ghost, "You deliberately let me win at the beginning, it was you who did it yourself, and now you want to take back everything before, don't think!"
He found that he still couldn't give up this transcendent power after all, and without this extraordinary power, even if he had Archbishop Slan who could deal with witches, he wouldn't have the courage to face Freya as a witch.
At the same time, Icefield City, far to the northwest, did not know that it had quietly avoided a crusade by the Aura army, which gave them more time to gather strength instead of sitting idly by.
The news of the rebellion of the Seven Cities in the East China Sea also reached Icefield City, but there was no news that the leader of the rebels was Freya, but Rafa thought that the batch of supplies that Freya had promised him had been delayed, and now that there was a rebellion in the east, he speculated that this rebellion was mostly related to Freya, because besides her, Rafa couldn't think of anyone who could have the courage and prestige to lead the Seven Cities to rebel.
He knew that this was a good opportunity for Icefield City to recuperate, and while the factory was working hard, he himself was not idle, he stayed in his room for three days in a row, and began to break through the third floor of Mingtai, if he hadn't told Audair in advance that he would not come out for a long time, Audrey would probably be so anxious that he would jump to his feet.
For three whole days, he continued to guide the spiritual power in his body to widen the spiritual power vortex in the sea of qi, and by now, the spiritual power in the spiritual power vortex has skyrocketed, and his clothes on his body swelled up as if they were blown by the wind, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
"The divine light is flying, wanting to find righteousness in suffering, and everything is empty, and he refuses to leave the wind and the moon. β
This is the trick of breaking through the third layer of Mingtai in the Star Hidden Decision, but it is too obscure to understand, and Rafa thought about it for three days and didn't understand what it meant.
Until this moment, he found that it was completely wrong to use spiritual power to widen the Qi Sea Vortex.
"Divine light is flying...... Everything is dusty......"
At this time, the spiritual power vortex had been filled, and if he didn't step into the third floor of Mingtai for a long time, he might be shocked to death by his own shattered spiritual power.
"No matter!"
Rafa's heart, which had no choice, began to fold his hands, dissipating all the spiritual power in the sea of qi, and a strong wind began to blow in the small bedroom, and his face gradually became pale;
"It's done!"
He was still weak and thought that this time was a failure, after the spiritual power was dissipated, the spiritual power vortex in the sea of qi also disappeared, he felt extremely weak, he couldn't even lift a finger, just when he was about to fall, the sea of qi expanded rapidly like divine help, it turned out that his understanding of "divine light flying and everything is empty" was not wrong.
The Qi Sea Vortex expanded rapidly, and the Qi Sea that was originally only the size of a wellhead quickly expanded to the size of a room, and the surrounding spiritual power also began to surge, rushing into his spiritual power vortex.
"Whew~" Rafa felt as comfortable as a fish in water again, his face became ruddy, and his white hair, which was originally a little mottled, also returned to its original color.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes radiated a restrained look, and his whole face was radiant, and he stood on the edge of the bed and moved, his joints crackling.
"If I meet that ghost girl again this time, I should be able to fight her a few tricks. Rafa clenched his fists, recalling the humiliation of being nearly kicked to death by the witch.
After taking a bath in the room with water spirituality, he walked out of the room with his head held high, and before he knew it, the problem of wheezing every time he used his spiritual power was gone, and it seemed that the witch's magic was sometimes easy to remove.
Leaving the cramped room, he realized that his vision was so wide that it seemed that under the sky, there was nothing he could not see except the horizon.
"Your Highness. β
Sure enough, as soon as he went out, Audair was guarding the door.
"Stubborn girl, aren't you a supervisor in the logistics department now, why are you here?" Rafa reached out and brushed Audelle's stray hair back of her head.
"It's off work now. "Audair enjoyed his intimacy and the smile on his face.
"Really...... I thought it was just dawn. He glanced out of the corridor and found that the sky was rapidly darkening, and it seemed that his eyesight had improved greatly, "Have you eaten?"
"No ......"
"It's backyard dinner time, and we're just in time to get there. With that, Rafalot took Audele's arm and ran towards the backyard.
Sure enough, the witches were eating, and Rafa and Audair took their seats with a big grin, not paying the slightest attention to the surprised eyes of the witches.
Seeing that Felihir was a little stunned by the side of him, Rafa swallowed a mouthful of steak and said, "What?
The witches looked at each other, and in their eyes, Rafa had something more on her body besides her hair returning to its original color and radiance, but they couldn't say anything specifically, and in short, Rafa seemed to be more calm and ...... Naturally.
"You seem to be getting ...... It's more handsome......" Elle licked her tongue unconsciously, almost with her eyes straightened.
"Hahaha, Elle, you're beautiful too. Rafa smiled and winked at her, seeing that the beautiful woman next to him was about to get angry, he hurriedly said, "Ahem, by the way, Fili, it's not a big deal these days, right?"
Felihill shoved a piece of cake into her mouth with a silver fork and glanced at him, "The only big thing is that I've got the caravan led by Cole to start spreading the word along the way. β
"What's the news?"
"News that the Magic Order is gathering witches in the Northwest Orr Mountains. β
"Orr's Mountains?
Rafa immediately understood her purpose, if it was directly said that Icefield City was summoning witches, Ora's Western Legion would definitely come to crusade against Icefield City after cleaning up the heretics in the west, but if it was the Orr Mountains, then the church would definitely not care, in fact, the meaning of both was the same, because if you want to go to the Orr Mountains in the northwest, Icefield City is the only way to go!
As long as the witches come to Icefield City and see the Flame Rose Banner, they should be able to understand most of it, and even if there is an unknown witch here, the witches will always have a way to attract her out.
All in all, the power of Icefield City is not strong enough now, and although its industrial strength is growing rapidly, it is still far from being able to summon witches openly.
"Fortunately, Renault was entangled in two wars, so we were able to make some small moves in secret, but we still have to be cautious, there are a lot of private troops of the city lords in other big cities in the north, and it will be troublesome to anger them. β
"Miss Fili is still thoughtful. Rafa smiled and cut a small piece of cake for Felihill.
Felihill was already full, but Rafa had cut it with his own hands, so he had to stuff it into his mouth.
After dinner, she agreed to Rafa's offer to take another stroll by the lake.
Today's weather is not as good as last time, the sky is full of clouds, I don't know when it will rain, and the water is also dark, but for these two people, there is no difference between night and day.
"Do you want to play the same game on the water last time? I promise I'll last a little longer. Standing on the embankment, Rafa asked.
"Yes, but you have to answer me a question first. β
"What?"
"Are you going to pick up where you left off in a moment?" Philicille was still haunted by what Rafa had not said.
"Nope. β
"What? is there anything unspeakable?" she herself had already said it explicit and unrestrained enough, why didn't this fool want to say it.
β...... I don't know why," Rafa's mind suddenly became confused, "I always felt like this was not the time. β
"Yes......" Felihill sighed silently in her heart, and then said slowly, "Thank you." β
"Thank me for what?" asked Rafa, sitting down on the embankment and looking up.
"Thanks to you, we were able to build this thriving city," Philicille sat down as well, "After seeing what you have done, I realized how naΓ―ve my original plan was, and thanks to you, Icefield City has been able to survive until now." β
"Actually, you have a chance to become a queen, why choose me?"
"Do you think my choice was wrong?"
"Who knows? It may or may not be wrong," Rafa sighed, "maybe I'll be killed by that Renault guy that day, and you won't be able to keep me." β
"I don't need you to stay, I'll stay on my own. β
In the dark, the two looked at each other.
Rafa laughed happily and squeezed Felicille's hand tightly.
