Chapter 36: The Southern Regions (I)
"I don't know the character set yet, you won. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Luciana did not hesitate to throw in the towel.
"I can teach you, and then we'll both clear." Estheu's face was silent, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart—he had finally won back a city!
"Didn't you owe me a question before?" Luciana dodged the important and turned the topic back, "Teach me the Noldor, and you will only need to repay the grace of saving your life." ”
"Nope." Eshua said in a firm tone, "I can only teach you this character. ”
"Stingy." Luciana was a little disappointed, but she didn't give up, she turned around and took out a jade plate from the pile of books behind her, and handed it to Essho, "I haven't mastered a few Noldor languages, and it's useless to learn the character set, and it was an ancient language many years ago, and few people now master the Noldor elves." I have here a document in Noldor to help me translate it, and the previous problems are written off. ”
Ai Xiu glanced at the jade plate, the words engraved on it were not difficult to understand, and looking at its content, it should be a page scattered in the yearbook. But the real headache for him was Luciana, the girl seemed to identify herself as the inexplicable "child of prophecy", and wanted to entangle her wholeheartedly, but Esher was embarrassed to tear her face - as soon as someone saved his life, this love was the first hurdle; The psychological hurdle is easy to say, the heart is horizontal, the eyes are closed, and the past is over, but the physical hurdle is something that Esshu cannot overcome in any short time: he is still lying weakly on the carriage.
At this time, Eshua remembered a sentence from the old drunkard, or or, the old drunkard borrowed a sentence from Madigan:
"People are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads."
Keep your head down, anyway, before reaching Silverlake Town, the chances of him getting rid of Luciana are slim to none. Eshua stared at the jade plate and said slowly: "The first sentence is-"
"Eh, it's not for you to translate, it's for you to help me translate." Luciana withdrew her hand and bit the word "assist" very hard.
Eshu heard a "thump" in his chest, and his heart was beating uneasily. "How can I help?" He asked subconsciously, and as soon as the words came out, Aeshu regretted it, but it was too late to swallow it back, and Luciana's face showed a triumphant smile again.
"When I interpret it, I explain it word by word, including structure, grammar, and word meaning." Luciana said without pause, apparently planning for a long time, just waiting for Eshy to obediently jump into her text trap.
Ai Xiu was silent for a long time, but he still reluctantly compromised: "Okay." ”
"It's a deal!" Luciana waved her arm excitedly, but accidentally knocked over the pile of books behind her, Luciana turned around and began to clean up, only to see a dusty parchment lying quietly behind the fallen pile of books - it was a forged creation power of attorney in the handwriting of the High Priest of Wendir, but after entering the border of Saarion, she casually left it in the corner of the carriage.
Speaking of which, it's been almost a week since you sneaked away from Isos, right? The letter that I left in the room should have been on my father's desk, right?
……
"Smack!"
Archon Justus angrily grabbed the inkwell and slammed it to the ground, the ink splattering sharply on the hard stone slabs like great black flowers, like arrows stacked on top of each other. Still dismayed, Archon Justus overturned a few more oil lamps and a stack of confidential papers, and for a moment the table was much emptyer, except for the letter from Luciana, lying quietly.
"Father, I'm leaving. As for how and where to go, I think Grandpa Wendier will tell you, anyway, by the time you and Grandpa Wendier find out about this letter, I may have run far, far. The Order mercenaries I borrowed will be returned. ”
The handwriting is beautiful, the tone is plain, and the flowing pen that connects the four "far away" in one go, is Luciana's handwritten letter. Looking at this letter, it was as if he could see the quiet and indifferent face of his precious daughter, as if he were indifferent to everything but books.
"How do you lose people?" Justes raised his head with a gloomy face, stared at the Priest of Wendir who was bowing his head at the table, suppressed the anger surging in his chest, and asked word by word.
Priest Wendir sighed: "According to the maid on duty on the day of Lucy's disappearance, Lucy asked her to go out and buy some black cloth, and I found some leftovers in her room, as well as needles and threads for cutting, and she seems to have made a set of clothes for herself. ”
"I ask you how you lost it." The voice of the Archon Justus was like a muffled thunder rolling through the clouds, and if it weren't for the fact that the person standing across the table was not the high priest of the Goddess of Creation Sect, the inkwell might have smashed on the other party's body instead of the ground.
"I don't know." Priest Wendir didn't know that the fire in the consul's heart was so strong that he wanted to swallow him in one gulp? But he didn't intend to exonerate himself, because he really couldn't escape the blame, Luciana disappeared when he stayed behind in Issos, and at the same time, an elite team of mercenaries of the Order stationed in Ahuon was out of the formation. When Wendier rushed over in a hurry, the officer stationed at the station reported that a girl in black had taken the group of mercenaries from the Order with a letter of authorization for creation. Combined with the letter left by Luciana, Wendier immediately knew that nine times out of ten it was Lucianna's good deeds! I didn't expect that seemingly delicate girl to be so stubborn, and she went to Livingston without permission!
But how did she sneak out of Issos? How did you get the Creation Mandate? Wendir was puzzled, but before he could come up with an answer, Archon Justus returned from the front.
Originally, the consul expected that he would be stationed at the fortress of Leila until the beginning of February, but after the battle of Thurbuk, with the help of the famous generals of fire, the Daxia people once pushed the battle line out of the desert and approached the fortress of Leila. And the sword fighter Uruba was even more put on the side by the fox-like and treacherous caliph Hamid, and was seriously injured under the attack of the sword saint Daman and the assassin master Hassan, although he successfully broke through the siege and returned to the fortress of Leila, but he had no strength to fight again, fortunately, the sword fighter also hit Daman hard, otherwise no one on the frontal battlefield could contain the metal storm that seemed to be dancing like two wolves. But the situation still does not allow Kiel and Justus to be optimistic, and the Daxia army is still a black cloud over the fortress of Layla. Kiel once tried to emulate the Archon of Kairos and trick the Dasians into the city, and then set fire to the city, but the Archon Justus blocked him in his tent and taught him a lesson for half an hour. "If you don't have so many reserves of burning water in advance, Hamid's old fox will easily fall for you?" It was the most spoken and loudest sentence spoken by the consul, and Kiel was trained so that he could barely lift his head. They had already prepared to strategically abandon the fortress of Leila, but found that the Daxia army outside the city had retreated halfway! Then the other half also stepped over the edge of the Gobi and disappeared into the desert. It didn't take long for an envoy from the peace talks to come to the city. This battle, which began in the empire and began violently, ended in an unexpectedly sloppy manner after Turbuk reached its climax. However, the empire was not worth such an outcome, but they could not be as happy as the Daxia, and it was only after receiving an edict from the emperor who was recuperating from his wounds in Janos that Kir signed the peace talks.
The smoke had cleared, and the Archon Justus did not stop much at the fortress of Leila, and returned to Issos with his troops, only to enter the city gates not long before the news of Luciana's disappearance came like a slap in the face.
