506 I think you have a problem
Epic mission.
In the Moonlight Tavern, Shuke sat opposite Roland, looking at the task he had just shared, and sighed.
"Whether it's you or Beta, your luck is ridiculously good, wherever you go, you'll get epic missions to come back and play."
Roland: Hmm????
As we all know, when I put a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.
As the only paladin in the whole server, you Shuke has a god costume given by the goddess, a beautiful girl dragon under his crotch as a mount, and the paladin is in a high position, and even the Pope can shake his face.
In this way, relying on the achievement of 'lying' with a handsome face, I got something that other players didn't dare to think of without moving and moving, and you actually said that the two of us were either working hard outside, or we were two people who kept doing magic experiments and never stopped working hard...... Luck?
Do you still want to nod your face!
Shu Ke looked at Roland's weird, even a little mocking gaze, and knew that he was pretending to be too much, and suddenly chanted softly, and said: "Since this task can be shared, then should we go and take Li Lin and them over, a rare epic task." ”
"I already talked to them in the guild system last night, and the result was ......" Roland stroked his forehead helplessly: "They said that they were of low rank, and they just recovered some time ago, and they ran to fool around with the female believers of Eros, and now they have become soft-footed shrimps." Recuperating in Hollevin. It belongs to the state that can barely protect itself, but if you want to do big things, you can't do it. ”
Shuk snorted, "These guys are completely addicted." ”
"It can't be helped, for them, this method is not slow, and it is happy. They are relatively open people, and you don't know this. ”
A scantily clad barmaid came over to serve the food, and she was next to Shuke's shoulder, intentionally or unintentionally.
But Shuck was completely unmoved, and after a while, the barmaid left disappointed again.
Roland was already surprised by this.
After all, he has seen similar situations countless times since he was a child.
Shu Ke took a sip of fruit wine: "Let's go back to the mission, I told you yesterday, I feel that the atmosphere here in the royal city is not right." Unexpectedly, the vice president of the Magic Association was assassinated so soon. I paid special attention to the news and got second-hand information from an acquaintance in the Inquisition of Heresy. ”
'Inquisition Bureau', the name of this institution is full of arrogance and murderous aura as soon as you hear it.
It is a religious organization.
"So you know what's going on?"
Shu Ke shook his head: "I know some information, but I still see flowers in the fog and the moon in the water." The vice president of the Magic Association is a woman with a very strong style, and it is said that her personal position is more inclined to Princess Celestia Stephanie's side, so I don't think it will be a political struggle that causes this result. ”
"What about the others?" Roland asked.
Shuke thought for a moment and continued: "She is very talented in magic, although she is only about sixty-seven years old, she has already touched the threshold of legend, so the Magic Association is also very optimistic about her. Now that she's been assassinated, it's not uncommon sense for the Magic Guild to jump to the ground. ”
"Touching the threshold of legends, if you want to assassinate such a person, you have to have similar strength." Roland thought for a moment and said, "Is there any powerful assassin in Wangcheng recently?" ”
Shuk spread his hands and said with a smile, "What do you think?" The city of Frans is not a place where any organization can enter, and any other warrior association can be said to be a shady organization such as the Assassins Association and the Thieves Association, as long as they dare to put their hands in, we Illuminati will dare to pick up a stick and break his hand. This is the royal city of Frans and the Sanctuary of Light. ”
It's no wonder that Shuck would say that.
For a long time, the Cult of Light and the Thieves Guild, the Assassination Guild and other organizations have been offended.
They boast of light, look down on those villains who hide in the shadows, and even dislike them exceedingly.
The common people's disgust for thieves and assassins comes from fear, and they are wary of the dangers lurking in the dark. But the priests of the Cult of the Illuminati are different, they despise these people from the bottom of their hearts who dare not stand in the sun, and consider them maggots in the dark, stenching things all over their bodies.
In other cities, the Cult of Light didn't bother to take care of these dung maggots in their eyes, but in the Sanctuary of Light, the closest place to the goddess of light, they would never allow a single disgusting dung maggot to appear.
This would be detrimental to the glory of the goddess.
However, the power is mutual, and being so discriminated against makes these hunters who walk in the shadows extremely unhappy.
So they will retaliate too.
I don't have time to harass the temples of the Cult of Light in other cities, and I have nothing to do to add to some of the actions of the Temple of Light.
The two sides have 'dealings' with each other.
In the eyes of outsiders, there is a feeling of rejoicing in the enemy.
Because of the Temple of Light's aversion to the profession of thieves and assassins, there are almost no people from these two organizations in the royal city. Even if they appear occasionally, they are those little thieves, who can't be called, legendary assassins and assassins, and they won't casually come to the royal city of France to find abuse.
Not to mention that there are at least three of the Light Divine Techniques that can break through invisibility, the Light Sanctuary has been stationed here for many years, such as the Light Pope, the Holy Maiden, thirteen Holy Warriors, and more than a dozen legendary-level archbishops.
The combat effectiveness is off the charts.
The assassin who has seagrass in his head will think of stepping on mines in the Sanctuary of Light.
Roland often read books in this world, so he had a certain understanding of this matter, and after listening to Shuk's words, he thought for a while and said, "In other words, your Cult of Light has ruled out the possibility of powerful assassins or assassins coming here to cause trouble?" ”
"I dare not say that it is completely excluded, it is a high probability of exclusion." Shuke thought for a moment and said, "According to the news we got from the Heresy Inquisition, the vice president of the Magic Association died from a backstabbing and stabbed directly in the heart from behind, killing him with one blow. The weapon should be a dagger. But now the murder weapon cannot be found, and there are no things or clues left by the suspected murderer. ”
"Just a little bit of information?" Roland scratched his head a little.
Shu Ke also sighed helplessly: "That's it." Our Cult of the Light God is not very involved in secular political struggles, but is just trying to maintain the balance of power. ”
"Tsk, sure enough, it's a fog to see flowers." Roland sighed: "It's a bit difficult to complete this epic mission with this bit of information." ”
Shuke thought for a while and said, "It's okay, don't worry. How can I say that he is also a paladin, with a bit of power. Next, I will apply for the organization to set up an investigation team to investigate this matter. ”
"Hey, you're a bit powerful." Roland said admiringly, then paused, and said, "But the private use of public weapons will make the high-level officials of the Temple of Light lower their evaluation of you." ”
Shu Ke laughed for a while, and then said, "Roland, you still made a mistake of common sense and applied the normal organizational structure to the sect. In the major gods, the core is the gods that you believe in, and the essence of all the actions of the gods is to spread her ideas and expand her faith for their own gods, and for this reason, you can even use many means that you can't even think of. It's just that the sect of good gods has a bottom line in doing things, and it is not so sent. So as long as it's something related to faith, it's not a trivial matter. ”
"What does this have to do with faith?" Roland was curious.
"Not for the time being, but it's not clear if it's after we find out." Shuke drank the small half-fruit wine in the cup and continued: "Now that I understand the nature of the paladin, you can see me as a relative of the goddess, not to mention pulling a small team, public and private. As long as I have the right reasons, I can even go beyond the Pope and launch a crusade now. ”
Roland looked left and right and noticed that no one was paying attention to the conversation between the two of them.
He sighed: "I know that you are now in a high position and power, but don't be too inflated, after all, the Pope is the nominal second-in-command of your Divine Sect, if your words are spread just now, it may make him feel a little guilty in his heart." ”
Roland's words were very straightforward and had a strong smell of exhortation. Under normal circumstances, this can only come from siblings, or people with whom they have a very good relationship.
Shu Ke was stunned, he touched his eyebrows, and his expression was a little dazed.
Then his expression became very strange and strange, as if he had thought of something terrible, and his face was a little ugly.
Roland couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”
"No, my mental state is a little wrong." Shuke frowned and said, "I shouldn't be such an inflated person, and you know that I've always been very stubborn." ”
Roland nodded.
That's why he was strange, that's why he just spoke out to admonish.
"I'll go back first, and ask the Holy Maiden to help me see if there's something wrong with my soul." Shuke stood up and said, "I'll pull up the investigation team, it's not difficult." I think you can use your status as a magician to investigate in the Magic Association first, and if there is anything, we will talk about it in the guild chat system. ”
"Okay." Roland nodded.
Shuck went to pay for the meal, and then left in a hurry.
Roland stayed, slowly drinking the wine.
It stands to reason that the child of gold, too, is not affected by the mental aspect.
Unless...... Someone has the ability to break through the protection of the system.
Is this possible?
From a gaming point of view, this is not possible. After all, the system rules are bigger than the sky.
But the problem is, if you look at this game world as real, then anything is possible.
All spells, specialties have a word of strength.
If it is the real world, the protection of the system should also have a strong statement.
So what level does it have to be to break through the strength of the spiritual power influence at the system level?
At least at the law level.
Because the bikini underwear officially prepared by the game for girls is a law-level protective equipment.
In order to understand and use law-level abilities, one must be at the demigod level, or above.
Shuk spends most of his time in the Sanctuary of Light, where the Goddess of Light gazes.
Who can influence the spirit of a paladin under the gaze of a goddess?
Roland subconsciously looked at the sky, where there was a round of golden sun hanging in the silence of the white clouds.
Scold!
Roland drank the wine in his glass, and he felt as if he was worrying too much.
Leaving the Moonstone Tavern, Roland returned to the Magic Society, the atmosphere here was much more serious than yesterday, and from time to time he could see black-robed soldiers patrolling the building.
When I returned to my room, I just opened the door and saw three women in the room drinking afternoon tea.
Andonara, Princess Celestia Stephanie, and Sharon.
The three women are quite beautiful, even if it is the worst Sharon of the three, it gives people a plump and mature beauty. When they saw Roland, they all stood up.
Roland felt that the eldest princess was quite idle, and had afternoon tea for two days in a row.
Andonara came up directly and helped Roland pat the dust that didn't exist on his body, with a gentle expression, looking like he didn't know how virtuous he was.
Roland nodded at Princess Celestia and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your chat." I'll go into the bedroom later, and the three of you will continue, and leave me alone. ”
Stephanie smiled, "Wait, Lord Roland, we came here this time mainly to talk to you about something. ”
Roland was slightly stunned, then reached out and asked Stephanie to sit down, and he sat down himself.
Andonara immediately brought him a glass of wine.
Taking a sip of fruit wine, Roland asked, "I don't know if the eldest princess is coming, is there anything I can help with?" ”
Although the other party is the princess of France, Roland feels that he does not need to take the initiative to lower his status, and it is a big deal to leave the country of France.
Anyway, since the last time he was discriminated against in France, he didn't have a good impression of the country.
Stephanie looked at Roland's bland attitude and trembled her eyebrows slightly, among her peers, there was no one who could face herself so humbly or arrogantly.
Either forced by her status and power, or fascinated by her pomegranate skirt.
Only those bigwigs who are old and have long been inhumane can face her peacefully.
Is it worthy of the man re-elected by Andonara? Stephanie sighed in her heart, a little lost, and then she said, "I think Your Excellency already knows about the assassination of the vice president of the Magic Association. ”
Roland nodded, isn't this nonsense.
The two of them were almost considered murderers last night, and if it weren't for the endorsement of the mentors of the Red Magic Tower, maybe he would have been out of the city of Frans by now.
"I'll tell you the truth, the vice president of the Magic Association, it's my man. It is very likely that her death was directed at me and against me. Stephanie whispered, "The vice president's strength is very strong, and she has special magic equipment to protect her, but even so, she was killed. I'm very insecure right now, so I wanted to ask someone I trusted to protect me for a while. ”
When she had finished speaking, she looked at Andonara.
Roland understood what Princess Celestia meant.
Now he was worried that he couldn't find a way to complete the epic mission, and he couldn't even figure out how to get started, and Stephanie put forward this condition, which was exactly what he wanted.
At least in relation to the epic quest, there is a possibility of a breakthrough.
It's just that...... Roland looked at Andonara.
Then he smiled and said, "It's up to Andonara to decide, if she wants to protect you, she can go, if she doesn't want to, then forget it." ”
Hearing this, Stephanie immediately turned her gaze to Andonara, her eyes sparkling.
Andonara hesitated for a moment, then said to Roland in a consultative tone, "Then ...... Protect her for more than ten days, okay? ”
After two days together, especially when Stephanie took the initiative to show her affection, Andonara felt that she was a good friend.
Since my friend is in trouble, of course I have to find a way to help.
It's just that...... In Andonara's opinion, Roland had to agree to this.
"I said it's up to you." Roland walked over and hugged Andonara gently: "Don't worry, have fun, I'll learn magic here, and I'll come back to me when you settle things." ”
Andonara smiled and nodded.
Since meeting Andonara, Roland has found that she has never left her 'comfort zone' and never left her home.
This is a sign of a serious lack of security.
In Andonara's world, Roland is the most important and the only thing that matters.
But now that she's willing to try to come out and make new friends, why wouldn't Roland support it.
Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Roland agree.
She was afraid that Roland would not agree, after all, when Andonara had afternoon tea with her in the past two days, there was almost no time when Roland was not mentioned.
From Andonara's gentle eyes and happy expression, Stephanie could see that the woman in front of her was doing well.
In contrast, you ...... yourself widow, and also killed her husband with her own hands.
At Andonara's wedding that year, he made a lot of nonsense, but within a few years, reality slapped him in the face.
Andonara held the sword, reluctant to protect her newfound friends and stay by Roland's side.
Still so tangled.
At this time, Stephanie moved in her heart and said, "How about Your Excellency Roland also come to live in my manor?" ”
"No, I'm going to study magic here." Roland waved his hand.
"But on my estate, there's a big library, big, lots of books." Stephanie smiled: "My ex-husband is also a magician, after he became rich, he spent almost all his money on buying books and spell models, and the library in the manor has been sealed since his death, but I think there are so many books in it, there are always a few that you have not read." ”
Well?
If you say that, then I'm not sleepy at all.
Roland's eyes lit up suddenly: "Okay, then I'll tell the mentor, you guys wait here." ”
Andonara was overjoyed to hear that Roland was willing to go with him to the princess's manor.
Hug Roland first, then Stephanie.
The Magic Association is too big, Roland asked someone for directions, or walked for a long time to find the upper echelons of the Magic Association, and accidentally bumped into a mentor of the Red Magic Tower, asking him to send a message to Elford, saying that he would go to Stephanie's manor to live for a while.
The mentor was an insider, and he knew exactly what Elford had brought Roland to this morning.
Hearing this, he immediately agreed to come down for Elford.
When Roland turned and walked away, the mentor said in admiration, "We haven't done our best yet, and you're in a relationship with Stephanie yourself." Do you really like wives and mature women so much? ”
Unaware of the fact that he was being killed, Roland returned to his room, left the association with the three women, and rode in a carriage to a manor about three hundred meters away from the palace.
On the periphery of the manor is a small square grove that encloses the entire manor.
And in the interior of the estate, the arrangement is very atmospheric.
Large green lawn with a gazebo on the left and an orchard on the right.
A small pale golden building was in the middle, and in the rear, a field under cultivation, and I didn't know what to plant.
It seems that everything in the manor is very simple.
But if you are told that the grass planted on the lawn is starlight flowers, the building materials of the pale cyan pavilion are moss stones in the elf clan, and the pale golden small building, the wood is all yellow eucalyptus trees in the elf clan, as long as you know how to do it, you will give a dumbfounded price.
In the small square forest around the manor, there are more than a dozen wooden houses, at least more than a hundred elite soldiers are hidden.
After entering the manor, Stephanie personally led Roland and Andonella up to the second floor and let them stay in the best and largest rooms.
Then take Roland to the basement.
The underground of the small building is already in a semi-empty state, and there is not only an official road here, but also a large library.
Stephanie put the rusty bronze key in Roland's hand, pointed to the blue iron door in front of her, and said, "This is the library, I haven't been in it since my ex-husband died." I heard the maid say that there will be a faint cry of her ex-husband inside, and there may be ghosts. However, my ex-husband is far from you, and he died not long after he became an official mage. Compared to you, I believe that even if there is a soul in it, you should not be afraid. ”
Roland shrugged.
He's seen a lot of souls.
Killed one when he came out of Red Clay Town, and then went to the kingdom of God...... I saw a terrible number of God's Kingdom elect, and in essence, those elect were all souls.
Smiling slightly, Stephanie pulled Andonara away, and said as she walked: "Let's go, let's go for afternoon tea, I got a very precious thing, elf honey, I don't know if you've heard of it." Gold coins of equal value. ”
After the two women left, Roland used the bronze key to open the iron door of the library.
The creaking sound echoed through the secret passage, and when the iron door was pushed open, it was pitch black in front of me.
Roland flicked his fingers and threw a small ball of light into it.
After the scene in front of him came into view, Roland couldn't help but wow.
Rows of bookshelves appeared in front of his eyes, and each row of bookshelves was filled with books.
The rich smell of books came to his face, and Roland walked in and gently touched the bookshelves.
All the shelves are beautifully made, and although each one is the same size, the carvings on the shelves are completely different.
All beautiful.
Each shelf has a special ink written about the types of books on this shelf.
'Biographies', 'Customs', and 'Magic Catalogs' contain almost all the book categories in this world.
Roland came to the Magic Catalog and first found a large number of books on spell casting tips, written by different magicians.
There were at least more than four hundred copies, and Roland took out a few at random, flipped through them, and found that the previous owner had also made detailed notes and notes in these books.
I also wrote some of my own experiences.
Roland then found the bookshelf for the spell model.
The first and second levels of magic are very complete, there are a lot of third-level magic, there are only a few fourth-level magic, and Roland even found a spell model of fifth-level magic.
'Fire Meteor Falls'.
Earned earned earned earned.
Roland was so excited that he quickly turned up the system camera and scanned all the spell models he had never seen.
This fifth-level 'Fire Meteor Fall' is not particularly strong in the same level of magic, but in any case, it is also a fifth-level magic.
The purchase price of any spell model diagram of level 5 magic must be at least fifty gold.
In fact, money is just a trivial matter, even in the Red Magic Tower, if you want to learn magic, in addition to paying money, you must have enough 'contribution', there are no specific quantitative rules for contribution, that is, the high-level of the Red Magic Tower, I think you can learn, that is, the contribution is enough.
After all the spell models were scanned, Roland went to the other bookshelves to see if there were any other books worth noting.
Then Roland found out that Stephanie's ex-husband had a very wide range of hobbies and was very miscellaneous.
In addition to the several classified books mentioned earlier, he also collected a lot of books on life.
For example, books that teach people how to fish, books that teach people how to cook.
Of course, the paper of these books is of poor quality, and when you touch it in your hand, you feel like you are touching a piece of papier.
It is estimated that if it cannot be stored for too long, it will weathered and shattered on its own.
In addition to life books, this man also collected a lot of color.
What "Yalongren's Moxibustion Hot Spear and Toast", what "The Fall of an Innocent Girl", "My Ordinary Life with My Sister-in-law", Roland even found several princess books.
What "The Princess Cries in the Night", "The Princess and the Slave" and so on.
Well? Wait,Isn't your wife a princess?,You still like to read this kind of book.。
Could it be the arch dam brother of the other world?
Roland took a deep breath, this big colt's hobby is really interesting.
After flipping through a few random colors, Roland shook his head very boredly.
The world is, after all, a cultural desert.
In general, there is not much written communication.
The plots of these are very old-fashioned, and the text and plot rendering are even poorer.
In modern society, you can search for colors on the Internet, and most of them can be clicked.
After all, most of the people who write about color on the Internet have been systematically educated for at least 12 years, and the number of essays written each year can be booked.
What's more, everyone also learns from each other, supports each other, and absorbs each other's writing and essence.
What is written is really much better than the colorists of this era.
Putting these boring colors back on the shelves, Roland couldn't help but have a question.
I heard that the eldest princess killed the ponies, is it because the princess also saw these princesses?
After all, the princess's fate is too pitiful.
Roland returned to the bookshelves of the 'Magic Catalog', pulled out a random copy of the other magicians' tips and read it.
In this world, paper is very expensive, and those who dare to record their hearts in the form of books have two brushes.
Roland watched it for less than three minutes before he became obsessed with it.
He reads it very carefully, and he is unwilling to let go of every word, and sometimes, he will read a sentence of the author several times, and then compare it with his own experience.
Pages of paper are turned over, and time passes little by little.
When the ball of light is dimmed, Roland will subconsciously release another one.
When he is hungry, Andonara will appear at his side at the right time to bring a delicious meal.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Andonara would gently feed the food into his mouth.
Roland's entire mind was put into the thoughts written down by these magicians.
A few days ago, there will be annotations and notes from the big horse, but the experience behind is getting more and more difficult, and it is becoming more and more imaginative, and the big horse can't understand it, just turn it over slightly.
But Roland could tell.
The experience of these magicians is fantastical, some of them are real personal experience, and some are just speculation.
It's a completely new idea.
Modern society is talking about innovation and innovation, as if as long as you think wildly, you can get new technology, new technology.
But they ignore that a solid foundation of knowledge is the foundation of all innovation.
Whimsical ideas without roots, if they can't fall to the ground, it's just nonsense.
Those wild ideas are indeed quite interesting, but these magicians have no way to realize them, so they can only use books to leave their ideas.
And these have become Roland's knowledge and experience points.
That's how important it is to lay a good foundation, otherwise your ideas will only become fertilizer for other people's faces.
The Children of Gold don't need to sleep, as long as they don't exercise excessively, they won't get tired.
So Roland didn't know how much time had passed, but he had only read half of the bookshelves now, and there were still three bookshelves for such a magician's book.
It won't be boring for a long time.
Roland sat down on a stone chair made of 'turning mud into stone'.
And on the ground, in the gazebo of the manor, Andonara, Stephanie, and a few noblewomen were drinking fruit wine, eating pastries, and chatting about gossip.
Stephanie took a break and whispered to Andonella next to her, "Lord Roland has been in the basement for four days, won't he be sleepy?" ”
"This is how he did it once he started studying magic, it was not uncommon for him not to come out for a few days, and the longest time he didn't leave the magic lab for two months." Andonara smiled.
Stephanie looked surprised: "So diligent? ”
"Isn't that boring of him?" A noble lady next to her interjected and said: "Andonara, you are so beautiful, it's a pity to follow such a stuffy gourd, you have such a look, there is no problem to be a princess." ”
Stephanie chuckled, she felt the same way.
Andonara said: "This is what you don't understand, even if a man can't say sweet words, but as long as you know where he is, and know that he is not looking for a woman, you will feel very relieved." As long as I can feel him, even if he doesn't talk to me and only does his own thing, I will be happy, but if a man runs around, when you miss him, I don't know which woman's bed he is, no matter how sweet his mouth is, what is the use of saying so many sweet words! ”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding ladies were embarrassed.
Their men are like that, often not knowing which woman's bed to stay in.
Stephanie was slightly stunned, but smiled lightly: "It turns out that you like a peaceful life, but it's a pity that you have such a strong strength." ”
Andonara smiled, "Only if you have strength can you protect him." ”
Looking at Andonara's happy expression, a noble lady was extremely unhappy and said, "That's because he hasn't been tempted, why don't we send a beautiful one down to try?" Maybe he'll taste the other women and run around......"
The air froze all at once.
At some point, the Andonara man left his seat, and an extra short sword was placed on the neck of the noble lady who spoke: "Slut, you dare to do this? ”
The gentle and kind Andonara was indifferent at this time, even with a faint killing intent.
Although the Phoenix bloodline is the bloodline of the brave, according to the demon king Diablo, Phoenix is one of the demon gods in the demon world.
It's just a betrayal of the Demon Realm.
So from the source, there is nothing wrong with Andonara being a descendant of the Demon King.
"I ...... I was just...... As you see fit...... Let's talk about it. ”
When has this noble lady seen this battle, she felt the cold iron weapon on her neck, extremely sharp, as if as long as she moved, her delicate neck had to open a big hole.
Suddenly frightened, his face turned pale, and there was even a faint smell of commotion in the air.
Stephanie didn't stop her, she had been treated like this by Andonara back then, but at that time Andonara used a long sword, and her momentum was far less fierce than it is now.
"You can't talk nonsense, remember." Andona shook her hand, and the dagger was gone. She glanced around several other noblewomen: "Who else has similar thoughts?" ”
Several noblewomen shook their heads vigorously.
"That's good."
Andonara sat back in her chair and slowly sipped the wine.
But the atmosphere at this time has been completely ruined.
After calming down a little, the threatened lady felt cold under her, how could she not understand what was going on, covered her face at the moment, and ran away from the manor crying.
Several of the other ladies also got up, bowed slightly to Princess Stephanie, and left the manor.
With a sigh, Andonara said, "I'm sorry, I'm so excited to disturb your afternoon tea." ”
"It's fine." Stephanie filled herself with fruit wine and said, "I was only familiar with them, and I didn't have a good relationship. Afternoon tea, there are many people to drink, two people have the beauty of two people, isn't it? ”
Andonara nodded in agreement, then she looked around, this was to see if there were any enemies around, and then she said, "You said you wanted me to protect you, but in the past few days, I haven't found any suspicious people, are you lying to me?" ”
"I don't know if anyone will kill me." Stephanie's eyes were a little confused: "But the vice president is my man, that's not wrong." Maybe I've been staying in the manor, and the enemy doesn't have a chance to do it. ”
At this moment, Stephanie's old butler hurriedly rushed in, he put his hands on his knees, half-bent over, and gasped and said, "Celestial princess, it's not good, something happened." General Lewis died, hanged from a crooked-necked tree behind his family's estate. ”
"What!" Stephanie stood up abruptly, her face full of anger.
General Lewis was her subordinate, and he was also a talent she relied on.
Stephanie even planned to hand over the Praetorian Knights to General Lewis when she became queen.
This shows her trust to General Lewis.
But now...... The person she valued and believed in so much actually hanged herself in the back of her home.
If no one was targeting her, the ghost wouldn't believe it.
"Bring the guards and come with me to see it." Princess Celestia slapped the table, and the jugs and cups on it jumped up and down, bouncing all over the place.
"I'll go with you." Andonara is close to Princess Celestia Stephanie.
Stephanie managed to squeeze out a smile and nodded.
Then Andonara suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Why don't you bring Roland, he's very smart, maybe he can see something." ”
"Okay?" Stephanie was skeptical. Because Roland has been reading books for the last few days, she has already treated him as a nerd.
Such a person will be very knowledgeable, but generally speaking, the level of impromptu play and application is not very good.
"Besides, I want him to come out and walk." Andonara smiled.
"Okay, listen to you." Stephanie smiled, and in her heart, Andonara was her only friend and had a special place.
Andonara happily ran down the official road, and after a while, she pulled Roland, who was a little confused, out.
At this time, Roland was still immersed in the ocean of magical experience and magical knowledge, and his head did not completely turn around.
It wasn't until Andona was pulled into the carriage and arrived at the scene with more than a hundred soldiers that he saw a big man with a fruit body dressed in black, hanging from a tree and fluttering in the wind, that he fully came to his senses.
The atmosphere of this world is relatively open, whether it is Andonara or Stephanie, there will be no embarrassment when they see a man's fruit.
Their expressions were even serious.
The main thing is that the dead are too miserable.
There are at least a dozen long sharp weapon scratches on his body, and each scratch is deep into the bone.
In addition, the abdomen of this strong man was cut open, and the pink intestines and other colored organs were exposed, and even the intestines were almost dragged to the ground.
There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and there was a puddle of black blood that had not completely solidified on the ground below where the dead man hung.
The surrounding area has been cleared, and now there are only Roland and the others and more than a hundred private soldiers of Stephanie.
But the air around was very dull, and under the scorching sun, there was a strange yin wind fluttering.
The eyes of the deceased were open, and the tongue was pushed out of the mouth, which was very long and disgusting to look at.
"Put people down." Stephanie waved her hand with a cold face.
Immediately several soldiers stepped forward, untied the ropes around the neck of the deceased, and laid the man flat on the ground.
He even kindly stuffed the intestines of the deceased back into the abdominal cavity.
Roland walked around the deceased, then looked around, and said a little strangely: "Celestial princess, you told me before you came, this is the back of the deceased's house, right, judging from the color of this bloodstain, although the deceased has not been dead for too long, how can it be said that it has been more than an hour, and the home is in front, and no family members have come to take a look?" ”
"I think it's weird too." Stephanie nodded, "I've already sent someone to the manor ahead to see what's going on." ”
It seems that this eldest princess is not a straw bale, at least she copes with it normally and calmly.
Roland Gao finally glanced at the eldest princess, and then he crouched in front of the deceased, looked at the deceased's face, and then stood up, thoughtful.
"Did you find anything?" Andonara asked, walking up to Roland.
She already had a long sword in her hand.
Roland raised his eyes and asked, "Celestial Princess, this general, does he know magic?" ”
"No, it won't." Stephanie shook her head: "General Lewis is a pure warrior, you see how strong his muscles are, how can he be a mage!" ”
"I also think about it, but I'm afraid that he is a dual cultivator of demon and martial arts." Roland stood up and said: "There is a very faint magical element in his body, which is slowly dissipating, and ordinary people can't feel it, and he has to be strong enough to have a certain level of mental power, so I ask this." ”
Stephanie frowned: "How is this possible, General Lewis has never studied magic. What's going on with the magical element in his body. ”
"If it weren't for his own magic element, he was beaten in." Roland stood up and walked around the deceased's body again: "I think these sharp blade wounds outside may be to cover up the real cause of his death." ”
Stephanie was so clever that she immediately understood what Roland meant: "You mean, he died under magic?" Can you tell what kind of magic it is? ”
Roland shook his head: "It's too late, magic has been reduced to the most basic magical element." However, judging from the fact that he was covered in blade damage all over his body, but there were no scars from plastic damage, if he either died from a curse, or he died from psychic magic. Who in the Magical Guild is more proficient in these two types of magic? ”
Stephanie sneered, "That's a lot." But when you say that, I have a few goals. ”
Then she waved her hand and shouted, "First bury General Lewis and dress him in good clothes." ”
Several soldiers immediately came up and began to wrap the body of the deceased with straw mats, ready to be taken to the manor in front of them.
At this time, several soldiers came in front of him, and the squad leader rushed over, knelt down on one knee in front of Stephanie, and said with a panicked expression: "Your Royal Highness the Celestial Princess, it's not good, everyone in General Lewis's family is dead, and there is not a single one alive." ”
Stephanie's face darkened, and then she became angry, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Everyone, first surround General Lewis's house, and not a single fly can be released." ”
Then more than 100 people ran to the manor in front of them and rushed in.
The garden was clean and quiet, and the leader of the squad in charge of leading the way walked briskly to the front, and as he led the way, he said, "All the bodies of General Lewis's family have been dumped in the storage room on the third floor, and they are exactly the same as General Lewis. ”
Half of the soldiers stayed downstairs and rotated defensively in case an enemy came in.
The other half rushed into the house, rummaging through the cabinets to make sure no one was hiding inside the house, and then took Stephanie upstairs.
Stephanie, Roland, and Andonara had just reached the third floor when they smelled a strong smell of blood.
Because it's indoors, it's not ventilated, and the smell is not known to be many times heavier than outside.
When I got to the storeroom, the smell suddenly became stronger again.
Looking through the doorway, I saw at least thirty corpses, stacked naked in a small storage room.
The ground was covered with black plasma.
The deceased were men, women, and children, all of whom had heavy blade wounds all over their bodies, and then their abdomen was cut open.
Stephanie's face became extremely pale, she could bear a corpse, so many corpses piled together, it was too much of a test of people's sexuality.
She covered her mouth, walked to the side, and almost threw up.
Roland stood in front of the door for a moment, then walked back and said, "In the same situation as General Lewis, there is a faint magical element in his body, which is overflowing. ”
"I see."
Stephanie didn't want to stay any longer, she quickly went downstairs, and after taking a deep breath on the lawn for a while, she said to the people around her: "Burn this building, I remember that Lewis also has a biological brother who is an honorary knight under the name of another nobleman, and told him that General Lewis sacrificed his life for the country, and now the status of the Marquis is inherited by this brother." I can give him an award ceremony if he wishes. ”
The squad leader next to him nodded repeatedly.
Stephanie then returned to her carriage, and Roland and Andonella got into it.
The carriage swayed and drove leisurely.
Stephanie looked at Roland, "You really can't figure out what those magical elements looked like?" ”
"I can't." Roland shook his head: "This may also be related to my lack of skill, you can find the masters of the Magic Association to identify it." ”
"No need."
Stephanie turned around, lifted the curtains, and looked out the window, even though it was far away, the three major buildings of the royal city of France: the Temple of Light, the Magic Guild square corridor, and the royal palace were clearly visible.
These three buildings form a wonderful equilateral triangle, which also indicates the balance of power among the three parties.
But now, Stephanie suddenly felt that the palace was big, but it was actually a little short.
She lowered the curtains again, looked at Roland and said, "Since he died of magic, then the Magic Association is very suspicious, and I went to let them debate at this time, didn't I want to tell them that I knew something." Am I that stupid? Are you testing me? ”
"Nope." Roland shook his head.
"Hmph." Stephanie snorted, "You magicians, you all have a lot of thoughts, who knows what you think. ”
Andonara took Stephanie's hand and explained, "I know Roland isn't that kind of person, he just thinks you don't trust him very much. And didn't test what you meant. ”
Stephanie looked at Andonara, and then at Roland, who looked indifferent, she suddenly smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't in a good mood just now, and I spoke more impulsively, you can forgive me." ”
"It's fine." Roland waved his hand.
When the carriage returned to the manor, Stephanie said, "Your Excellency Roland, I will go in to see my father, and I will have to take Andonara to protect me, so I will trouble you to stay in the manor by yourself, anyway, the son of gold will not die, I think you should not need a guard." ”
Roland was about to continue reading those books, but when he heard what he wanted, he immediately went to the secret passage and reopened the library.
Then I sat down and picked up what I had been talking about.
After reading this one, he picked up the next one, and the cover of the book said "Ace's Spiritual Experience", he thought it was a light type, or a spiritual type of magic experience book, but when he opened it, he found that this thing was selling dog meat on a sheep's head, and the cover on the outside was just used to fight rejection, and the real content was actually a diary.
08/14/XX
'I've finally got Mrs. Ivanka, and it seems that a slight human charm is really working......
09/22/XX
'Stephanie is really beautiful and feels good physically, but she's too cold, she doesn't have any initiative when she joins, and she's very strong, and she doesn't know if it's good or bad to be her husband......
Seeing this, Roland knew that this diary belonged to the big colt.
Ordinary people would have taken the opportunity to read the diary, but Roland was not the kind of person who liked to peep into his privacy, so he closed the diary, put it back on the shelf, and picked up the new magic book again.
After Roland finished reading another magic book, Andonara came back, she shook Roland's arm, woke the latter up from the sea of books, and said, "Roland, Princess Celestia needs you to help her counsel, things have changed." ”
Well...... It's a hassle.
Roland was a little reluctant, but thinking that he had read so many books for free, he should reciprocate, so he followed Andona out of the library secret room.
When she came to the pavilion, Stephanie saw Luo Temple and said, "I'm sorry to interrupt your quest for knowledge. Lord Roland, I have a question, what is your favorite thing about men? ”
"Everyone likes something different, but if there's one thing that men like in common, it's probably the process of making children."
Andonara covered her mouth and laughed, her cheeks slightly red.
Stephanie smiled, "You're so honest, I can't even find an opportunity to sarcastically mock you." I had just gone to see my father, and I wanted him to lend me one or two of the royal guardians for a while, but he refused. ”
"Well, why?"
Stephanie sneered, "He said that although he didn't know who assassinated the vice president and who killed Lewis's family, he felt that this was a test for me. If I pass, I will be able to continue to qualify for the throne, but if I fail, I will marry in three months, becoming the third princess of France to marry in two hundred years. ”
Roland shook his eyebrows and did not speak.
This matter is someone else's family matter, and he doesn't want to get involved.
Stephanie should have been angry when she saw Roland's unmoved look, but for some reason, she smiled and said, "I know, this time I became a joke." Obviously, my strength is the strongest in the royal family, except for my father, but now that I am being targeted by others, I can't even find the shadow of the enemy, it's ridiculous, even I think so. ”
As she spoke, Stephanie lowered her eyelids, looking struck by a blow.
Roland still didn't want to talk to her.
At this time, Andonara walked over, took Stephanie's hand, and said, "I will help you, and if your father wants to marry you, I will ask Roland to take you to Delbon and hide." ”
After hearing this, Roland immediately smiled.
He thought Andonara would say, 'You're my friend, I'm going to help you and protect you no matter what.' ’
As a result, he was not optimistic about Stephanie, and it may even be that he didn't want to leave him or part with his friends, so he wished that Stephanie would fail, and then follow him, and then the two became friends for life.
All I can say is...... Andonara's belly is a little dark.
Stephanie was a little smarter than Andonara, and she didn't know what Andonara was up to.
Suddenly, I was so angry that my stomach hurt, and I wanted to laugh again.
This sweet and sour taste made her uterus twitch.
She had to hold her abdomen and said in a tangled voice, "Do you want to help me, or do you want me to be unlucky?" ”
Andonara smiled and didn't answer.
Alas! Stephanie let out a long sigh.
At this time, Roland interjected: "Don't be discouraged, in fact, not only did you not understand the situation, but your father and the Temple of Light also did not understand the situation. The Magical Guild may know something, but you don't ask. ”
"How do you know that the Temple of Light doesn't know the situation, do you know the upper echelons of the Light Sanctuary?"
"Meet a paladin."
"You just brag." Stephanie naturally didn't believe it: "It's only been a long time since you came to the royal city, and you know the holy warriors." ”
"Isn't there a son of gold among the holy warriors......"
Stephanie waved her hand: "I've already investigated, and you sons of gold don't know each other very well, and there seems to be some conflict of interest. That Golden Son Shuke, he is the most valued newcomer of the Illuminati Sect in recent years, how can you possibly know others. ”
"We really know, we are friends in the first place." Roland said lightly.
Stephanie asked suspiciously, "Do you really know?" ”
"You don't believe it." Roland doesn't force it, it doesn't matter if others believe him or not.
"No, I do." Stephanie suddenly jumped up from her chair and jumped in front of Roland: "Since you are good friends, do me a favor!" ”
"Help you ask him out?" When Roland saw her eyes shining, he thought that Stephanie was also a little woman who fell under Shuk's handsome appearance.
But Stephanie said, "It doesn't matter if people see it or not, can you help me ask him for five red dragon scales?" ”
Well?
Roland was a little surprised: "What do you want that thing for?" ”
"Alchemy potion." Stephanie said with a twinkle in her eyes, "Although I am also a warrior, my talent is limited. But if there is a red dragon bloodline, it will be different, then my upper limit can be raised by a cut, even if I can't become a demigod, but I still have some hope of reaching a legend in my lifetime. ”
"It's precious."
Stephanie nodded.
"No."
Roland shook his head, since it is very precious, then it means that if these dragon scales are taken down, it may have an impact on the little dragon girl.
Roland is personally not familiar with Xiaolongnu, but no matter what she says, she is also her brother's woman...... Mounts?
For the sake of Stephanie, the eldest princess who has not met for less than ten days, she begged her brother to hurt herself...... Mount, he can't do this.
"Looks like you're bragging." Stephanie sighed in disappointment.
Roland knew that she was agitating and was unmoved.
Seeing that Roland was not fooled, Stephanie was a little depressed, but soon she cheered up and said: "Roland, I can see that you are very smart, I want to hire you to help me find out the murderer behind the scenes, okay?" I'll pay enough. ”
