Chapter Ninety-Four: Good News
"Good!"
Looking at Hammer's urgent return from Icefield City, Renault stood up happily, but the letter only said that he had defeated Icefield City, and did not mention Rafa and Felicille at all, which made him feel a little regretful, and said to the knights who were kneeling on one knee in the audience, "Were Rafa and Felicille dead or alive when you left Icefield City?"
The knights in the audience had already been instructed by Hammer and knew what to say, "Your Majesty, as soon as the Ice Plains City was broken, General Hammer immediately ordered me to come back quickly to deliver the message, my subordinates don't know much about the situation in the city, but looking at the knights in the city running away around the two people, the two of them should still be alive." ”
"Very well, I hope that Hammer guy will be lighter and don't force them to death," Renault let out a sinister grin, "Rafa, I'm going to fuck that slut in front of you!"
"Reward five hundred gold coins, go down. ”
"Yes!" the knight in the audience looked happy, lowered his head and quickly retreated.
"Jarvis, don't you feel sorry that your sister is about to turn into a broken shoe?" As the knight left, Renault looked at the young man who had been standing quietly in the audience.
The violence in Jarvis's eyes flashed, "There is nothing to regret, my father once told me that the water spilled by the married daughter, whether she is a puddle of sewage or some dirty water, has nothing to do with me. ”
"Hehehe, you can really see it. ”
"Though my poor sister has been defiled, I ask your Majesty to allow me to have him beheaded myself when General Hans has escorted that fool of Rafa back to Byron. ”
"You probably don't have that chance. ”
Jarvis was slightly startled, "What!?"
"I just received news that the Seven Cities of Donghai Province are rebelling, Yalvis, as my newly appointed commander of the Eastern Legion, this suppression of the rebellion can only fall on your head. "Renault was a little depressed, he had just cleaned up the broken place of Icefield City, which made his bones in his throat, and before he stopped, there was a rebellion in Donghai Province, and there were also traces of exotic heresies outside Nora City in the west, and he also needed to send people to investigate, and this was a matter that had to be done, otherwise his face as the new emperor would be lost.
Jarvis's expression softened slightly, and he bowed his head and agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Later, Renault found the Archbishop of Slan, and in front of him, he appointed some generals to lead the Western Army to the west to conquer heresy again.
Archbishop Slan was satisfied, and promised him that the Church would use 20% of the "tax revenue" contributed by the faithful that year as military expenses for the expedition to the west.
Renaud actually wanted to lead a large army to fight east and west in order to accumulate prestige, but as soon as he thought that Rafa's bastard was going to be escorted back to Byron, he didn't want to leave anywhere, so he waited in Byron to clean up the two adulterers and adulteresses after they were escorted back.
In his sleep, Rafa dreamed again of the scene of that day at the lake, he took Felihill's hand and paddled softly across the lake, but this time he no longer felt tired, but felt very energetic, the bright moonlight reflected on the water, he felt that the atmosphere was enough, he wanted to say in his dream, what he did not say that day.
"Fili... I ......"
He was about to say it, but suddenly he felt that it was ridiculous to say these stupid things in his dream, and after laughing at himself, he took Felihir back to the lake without saying a word.
Then he felt that his dream was over without warning, and he lay down on the familiar bed again, in the dim candlelight, Audair was sleeping soundly by his bedside, and Felihill took advantage of the dim candlelight to turn the book in her hand, and she had seen that Rafa had woken up, but she did not look at him.
"The Devil Girl......"
Rafa sat up, afraid of disturbing Audair, and asked in a low voice to Felihill.
She left. Felihill's eyes were a little glazed, and her attention was not on the book at all.
"Really, I've been asleep for a few days?"
"Three days. ”
"Hey, Fili, why do you seem to have something on your mind?" he jumped out of bed and moved his arms to sit down beside her.
"......," Philhil was silent for a moment, but finally spoke, "Shirley said...... Most of your life has been taken by the devil and witch......"
"Life?" Rafa guessed she was referring to longevity.
"Look at your hair. ”
Hearing this, he hurriedly grabbed a strand of hair on his back and looked at it, and found that there were many mottled white hairs in his hair.
"Hmm... It seems to be true. Rafa threw his hair back, not too concerned.
Felihill thought he was trying to keep his composure, and she remembered what Shirley had told her in private, "Lafago's life is like a burning candle that could be extinguished at any moment." After that, she told Shirley to forget the memory, and now she told him the secret herself, hoping to prepare him for something.
"Do whatever you want, even if you want to abandon Icefield City, I won't stop you. Felihill's eyes were complicated, like regret, but also like sadness.
Rafa understood what she meant, he could die at any moment, but he couldn't help but laugh, seeing Felihill's eyes was equivalent to seeing a rare scene in the world.
He took Felihill's hand in the palm of his hand and said seriously, "Fili, do you want me to leave?"
"Of course not. Felicille said subconsciously, then lowered her head slightly, her gaze falling on the ring she had given Rafa.
"I'm not going to die, Fili. Rafa clenched her hand a little tighter, "I can't tell you why, but I'm not going to die, at least until I do that." ”
"What's the matter?" asked Felihill.
He grinned, "Something about you, but I've decided not to tell you, because you'll know in the future." ”
Actually, she knew it now, but she had already ignored it a little.
"You...... Are you really okay?"
"Of course it's true. ”
Rafa didn't worry about his longevity at all, because for immortal cultivators, it was too simple to increase his lifespan, and he practiced the superior law to determine the star concealment, and the spiritual power vortex in his body was circulating and gathering all the time, and when he broke through the third layer of Mingtai, Shouyuan immediately increased by ten years, and the damage of the ghost witch to his Shouyuan was negligible.
Knowing that Rafa would not deceive, Felihill's expression suddenly softened a lot, and he wanted to withdraw the hand that Rafa had pinched.
"Tell me how you arranged the new witch. Finally had a chance to rub her slender hand, where could he let go so easily, and grabbed a little more.
"You're pinching me. Felihill frowned slightly.
“...... I'm sorry. ”
Rafa awkwardly let go of his hand, but Feliscille surprised not to withdraw it, and continued to place it in his palm.
Glancing at him, Felihill said, "Vena has been busy restoring the terrain outside the city these days, Litan is in charge of keeping watch in the sky, and Flo is still resting for the time being, Bernice has been arranged by me to form a municipal government with Siphus, and Siphus has heard that she has a talent for being an official, and Coria is helping to color all kinds of goods, and the price of colored things is much higher than before." ”
"What about Nika?" Rafa didn't have the slightest objection to her arrangement, but he cared most about Nika, who had access to electricity.
"She's discharging the iron with wire wrapped around it according to your arrangement, and I really didn't expect that ordinary iron can be turned into a magnet with electricity," Felihill paused slightly, and continued, "but this discovery is important, but what good is it?"
"Aha, don't you think it's a little dark at night in this world?" he glanced at the dancing candles on the wall, "I'm afraid your eyes won't be pretty in the future." ”
"But what does this have to do with magnets?" Philicille blinked her bright eyes.
"Of course it matters, because magnets can produce electricity, and electricity can produce light. ”
"Light?"
"That's right, it's a light that can illuminate the world as bright as day at night. ”
"What kind of magnet do you need?" asked Felihill.
"Fili, can you make magnets, are you the Witch of Electricity?" asked Rafa, surprised.
"Guess what, I'm not going to admit it. ”
As she spoke, she pulled out her hand and handed him her notebook and pen, "Let's draw." ”
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, is it?" he hesitated, because he didn't want to talk about work in such a good atmosphere.
"Draw. ”
Felihill's answer was brief, but there was an unquestionable majesty.
"Actually, there are a lot of things that need to be prepared, and magnets are just one of them. Rafa had no choice but to take the pen and draw.
"Renault's army is gone, we have time. Felihill stared at the lines he had sketched, and she wondered how Rafa had managed to draw them so straight without using a ruler or something.
"Now I am afraid that he will be angry and send men against us. ”
"Come on, just leave me to them. ”
The pen in Rafa's hand paused slightly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm sorry, I won't say that," Felihill recalled, they had discussed the issue, and Rafa had already made her stand at that point, so she difled the subject, "The monthly ball has been postponed for two days, and now that you're awake, it's tomorrow?"
"No, no, no, I've decided to break away from the royal tradition and turn the monthly ball into a city-wide hot pot feast. He enjoyed dancing with Felihill, but it was clear that the ball, which was only attended by the upper class, was a bit out of the crowd.
"Hot pot feast? "Actually, Felihill has long had this idea, after the last time it was held in the City Lord's Mansion, the maids spread the practice of this banquet, and many merchants and knights who followed the trend have secretly explored the practice of hot pot banquets, and now Rafa has decided to promote it, and she is naturally in favor.
"Then I have to ask Her Highness Fili to donate more treasured wine. ”
"Huh?" Philicille picked up the tin kettle at the head of the bed and shook it, "What's in it?"
"That's ......," Rafa panicked.
"Hmph, you actually stole my wine, it seems that the 100,000 gold coins you owe me will rise to ...... Two hundred thousand. ”
Hearing this staggering number, Rafa almost jumped in fright, but he was afraid of waking Audair, so he frowned and whispered, "Fili......"
"Hold on to it first, and I'll get it from you when the interest is enough. ”
After teasing Rafa again, Felihill was suddenly in a much better mood.
