Chapter 370: An Unexpected Request
Lakstar Fortress, master bedroom, bathroom.
The cold water flowed down the fine blonde hair in the strong and fair body, the muscles all over the body were dense and slender, without a trace of fat, with the movement of Modrian's head, the countless muscles on his body moved smoothly and regularly, and the crystal water splashed to the ground.
Failed again! Sure enough, I really don't have any cultivation talent!
Modrian opened his eyes, thin bloodshot pupils appeared, and Galio's power blessing was still not enough to break the barrier of the legend.
And in the breathing method cultivation just now, he didn't get anything, he couldn't touch any legendary path at all, the deep darkness was filled with perception, and he couldn't see a trace of light.
With doubts in his heart, Modrian had asked Darius and Galen, but these two guys didn't know what legendary paths they had, only that after breaking the shackles of fate, they had legendary powers, no, not only legends, but even the subsequent roads could be clearly seen.
What a envy!
The dark green stream of data flickered in the pupils, and Modrian called out the system, muttering, "Why don't you give me some kind of shackles of fate, I don't mind!" ”
The atmosphere of silence was lingering, he waited for a long time, and finally looked slightly embarrassed, controlled his restless emotions, quickly put away the system panel, and then wiped his body casually, and walked out of the bathroom in civilian clothes.
Knock knock! Knock knock!
"Your Lord!" Zhao Xin's voice sounded softly outside the door, and his tone was not hurried.
Hearing this, Modrian looked puzzled, all the arrangements had been arranged in yesterday's meeting, and he ushered in a period of rest, and he only needed to discuss the deployment with Svein every day.
"Is there anything urgent?" Opening the wooden door of the bedroom, Modrian looked at Zhao Xin in front of him and asked.
"It's Miss Sophia who wants to see you, waiting for you at Fort Digva!" Zhao Xin said softly, glancing at the shadow in the corner, his expression slightly solemn.
"After receiving a letterhead, I hurriedly asked you to meet."
"Letterhead!?" Modrian's expression was a little puzzled, since Sophia came to Valoran, in addition to occasional communication with Uncle Benny, the circle of friends is also relatively narrow, mostly with several wandering mages and female nobles in the town of Irwindale, who basically do not know Sophia's true identity.
Of course, he doesn't have a hobby of spying on his sister, and the shadowstream in the shadows is in case of accidents, after all, Sophia's appearance is really top-notch.
"Maybe it's really Uncle Benny?" Modrian remembered the city of Edallas, which had fallen into the plague, and it seemed that very little news had been delivered.
Looking at the shadow in the corner, he thought for a moment and commanded, "Zai, is there any news from the western region of the Silver Pine Province?" Sort it out, I need to take a look at it on the way. ”
"Let's go, let's go to Fort Digvao!" Casually draped in a black coat, Modrian and Zhao Xin left the bedroom.
......................
With the strategic deployment in the dark, Fort Dig began to enter a state of alert, and the bluestone city wall stood guarding the Noxian soldiers, and the cold light of the blade flickered slightly.
The warm afternoon sun fills the neat and clean main roads, and the stately buildings and narrow and claustrophobic streets are guarded by Noxian soldiers.
Modrian happily watched the posture of the Noxian soldiers, and had to say that as the military force of the Noxian Empire, after experiencing the baptism of war, it has become more and more of an elite division.
On the way here, he had already learned some news from the information of the robbery in the western region of the Silver Pine Province, and the sudden outbreak of the plague plague not only caused a major impact on the city of Edalas and the Gate of Sorrow, but also the direct destruction of many towns and villages, and countless people became infected by the plague, continuing to attack the living area.
This is what he did not expect, after the source of the plague was solved, looking back, he found that the plague plague seemed to be getting more and more serious, and he heard that even the Morishige Province behind the Kuroki Province had been infected, but fortunately, the situation was not too serious, and it was firmly controlled by the ruthless aristocratic forces.
The pace slowed down, and Modrian noticed that the main castle where he once lived had changed dramatically, like a forest hut. The dense greenery almost climbs the walls, revealing only a few dark gray stones, and the colorful garden is decorated with colorful flowers.
"Greenery Cottage?" He had heard from Sophia that every forest mage had his own green hut for spell research and the cultivation of living vegetation, and that was once the case in Baron Benny's mansion.
"Your Lord!" Crane was already waiting at the gate of the main castle, and when he saw Modrian coming, he bowed slightly and looked respectful.
Modrian nodded, and when he was about to enter the main castle, he noticed his gaze, looked up, and saw Sophia, dressed in green robes, smiling and greeting him on the veranda covered with green vegetation.
After raising his hand, Modrian stepped in, and the familiar structure of the main hall came into view, with the improvement of various system buildings of the fortress of Lakstak, it has officially become the center of power of the Valoran Domain, and the main fortress of Fort Digging has gradually belonged to Sophia.
Walking up the wooden ladder to the second floor, he saw his sister Sophia, her long golden curled hair draped over her shoulders, and she looked very good.
"Haven't you had lunch yet?" Sophia said softly, and then bowed slightly to Zhao Xin, which belonged to the normal etiquette exchange of nobles, Zhao Xin tied his hands to one side, and his resolute face was full of smiles.
"Well, I've been a bit busy lately. What, are you going to cook it yourself? Modrian quipped, and from his memories of his predecessor to the meeting at Limentano, to Fort Delvo, he knew that Sophia still maintained some aristocratic young lady habits.
"I've learned a bit lately, wait a minute, it should be fine soon." Sophia's cold face spread into a faint smile, after becoming a forest mage, she had a lot of free time in addition to studying spells, so she could learn what she had longed for before.
A pot of blue sake, a plate of stir-fried mushrooms, and a plate of vegetarian brocade. Oh, and two plates of white bread, and that's the lunch of the day.
Modrian looked at Sophia with a strange expression, although he is not the kind of person who is not meatless, but these vegetarian foods can't fill his stomach at all, as the normal food consumption of the knight elder, the food in front of him is not enough, but he didn't explain it.
"The sake I made with my own hands after learning from the Gulagas masters, and it is fruity sake with a good taste. The ingredients were sent by Chrysanthemum from the Lenwall Mountains. As if sensing the scrutiny of her eyes, Sophia said proudly, a touch of pink creeping up her cheeks.
The first time I introduced the food I made, it was normal. "Stir-fried mushrooms and vegetarian brocade, I learned from the chef of the main castle, his skills are good, the butler of Crane specially invited from the city of Lafargue, you can taste it."
"Well, I'll try then!" Modrian said with a smile, trying the food Sophia had made.
Although they are both vegetarian, they taste really good, and the two also talk about some interesting things during the meal, most of them are Sophia talking and Modrian is listening.
The narrow circle of friends leads Sophia to need someone to talk to, it's not that she doesn't want to expand the circle of friends, if she wants to, expose her identity, and in an instant, she can be a guest of many nobles.
Because of her otaku personality, she is more of a sorcery student, and often goes to the Leenwall Mountains. If it wasn't for the letterhead this time, she wouldn't want to trouble Modrian.
The branches of the green vines have spread to the wall outside the bedroom, and bursts of rich life breath have come to the surface, so that Sophia's slightly restless mood quickly calmed down, looked at Modrian in front of her, and finally opened her words lightly.
"Uncle Benny has written from Valoran, hoping for help from Valoran."
From the existence of Ai On and Xiao Ju, she can already get a glimpse of the difference between the Valoran Lord, and also knows the strength of the Valoran Lord, but because of this, her circle of friends has always been maintained on the real friend, rather than stepping into some high-class banquets.
Considering that this time it was Uncle Benny's request, and at the same time as the guide of her own career path, Sophia couldn't refuse, in fact, it was also because of Benny's help that she was able to enter the Violet Mage Tower to study, avoiding the marriage arranged prematurely by the family.
The ungifted heirs of the nobility, especially women, are a tradable 'commodity' in the face of a marriage of interest.
Hearing this, Modrian looked up at Sophia, who was slightly uneasy in front of him, and shook his head gently, he knew some reasons, so that there was always a subtle and invisible gap between the two, but fortunately, the gap gradually faded with time.
"Sister Sophia, you can make your own decisions, Crane will help you, don't ask me so much. Speaking of which, you can also be considered half of the mistress of Valoran, can't you? ”
A lunch, a request, you can see Sophia putting her posture very low, which is not what Modrian wants to see, at least he has a kind personality and good enough emotional intelligence.
"Hee-hee!" Sophia laughed softly, cold and bright. "Like you said, I'm homely, yes... Bit.... Residence.. Female, yes, otaku. So if these vulgar things can be pushed to you, they will be pushed to you. ”
"Well, this is Uncle Benny's letterhead!" Slender white fingers placed a copy of emerald green letterhead in front of Modrian.
"Okay, then what else can I do!" Modrian shrugged his shoulders, took the letterhead, opened it in front of him, and read it carefully.
The blazing sun shone down the vegetation along the window in front of the table, shining on the figures of Modrian and Sophia, plain and warm.
