Chapter 20: Grand Duke Lori

If there was anything that could shock Robin more than the deranged illusions he had experienced before, it would be the scene he was seeing right now—

As they emerged from the crack in the colored magic of the noble district, the crack behind them suddenly closed.

In front of Robin, there stood a girl about eight or nine years old.

She wore a fluffy and dreamy pink dress with a cotton cape, and her pink hair was neatly coiled behind her head.

A pair of big eyes flashed with a sense of composure that was extremely inconsistent with his age.

This is Matilda, the Grand Duke of the Dawn Leader?

Robin glanced at Carol quizzically.

Just now, in the process of exiting the illusion, the Blue Lagoon knight told him that Grand Duke Matilda was waiting for them outside.

Now, there was no second person in Robin's sight.

He never thought that the Great Guild of the Dawn Leader was a half-grown child.

Carol received Robin's inquiry and smiled and nodded.

From the look in her eyes, Robin was sure of this.

"You're the new Chosen One?"

Before Robin could speak, the little girl in front of her was the first to ask.

"Yes." Robin didn't dare to underestimate the little girl in front of him, if it was really like Carol described, she had enough magical ability to tear open the gap in the illusion, and could accurately judge that they were in danger, so let Carol come to rescue them.

Whether it is magical power, judgment, or wisdom, this little Grand Duke's strength should not be underestimated.

"I'm Robin, the new Chosen One, and this is my squire Gail."

Robin introduced to Mattida.

The other party nodded slightly.

"I'm Grand Duke Matilda."

She continued, "I thought I would have to meet you at the Chosen One ceremony in a month's time, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. ”

"Hello, Your Excellency Grand Duke Matilda." Robin responded, "It's an honor to see you here, and your assistance is greatly appreciated. ”

"It's just a matter of effort."

The other party said lightly.

The tone was as calm as that of a thirty-year-old adult.

Robin was puzzled in his heart, he especially wanted to ask the little kid in front of him, how old was he......

As soon as he thought that Calista was more than a hundred years old and could still maintain a face like a sixteen-year-old girl, he couldn't help but wonder if the Lori Grand Guild in front of him would be like this.

"By the way, Your Excellency." Robin looked at each other suspiciously, "How did you know I was in the illusion?" “

There are two points to this question:

1. How did the Grand Duke discover the illusion, and how did he know that there was a real person in the illusion.

2. How did she know that she was the Chosen One inside, and that she might be in danger.

Yes, before coming to the kingdom, Jeong's advice was still in his ears.

Speaking of which, this is too much of a coincidence, if the other party knows that the Chosen One is in danger, it is very likely that the person who caused the chaos in this illusion is His Excellency the Grand Duke in front of him.

So Robin had to make sure of a few things first.

Mattida frowned, thinking about Robin's question.

The current scene looks very funny, a little Lori thinks seriously, it does look like a mature adult, but this contrast and sense of disobedience makes Robin feel a little strange.

Unsure if she could understand the meaning of her question, Robin opened her mouth, ready to ask more directly.

"I happened to come to Haoyue City to negotiate, and now I am about to return to the private residence in Haoyue City, but I found some strange magic fluctuations on the way."

Mattida frowned, "If you're wondering how I discovered the illusion, then that's probably it. Because I have a very special magical constitution and magical abilities. ”

Carol smiled slightly, and explained for the Grand Duke, "Lord Matilda is known as a rare magical genius in Itnaire's three hundred years, and he is not yet ten years old, and he already has the strength of a mage. She is now learning more advanced magical content from Flora. ”

I see.

Robin nodded.

But in his heart was very shocked.

The Lori Grand Duke in front of him is really young.

Not only the magical ability, but also the calmness shown in the conversation just now, everything shows that this little girl is extraordinary.

"As for ...... If you want to ask, how do you know if the person inside is the Chosen One or who. Mattida looked at Robin coldly.

"I'm not sure about that." "So I asked Carol to take a look." ”

Mattida looked at him again, her gaze falling on Robin's dark eyes.

"I know now. I've heard quite a bit about your story lately. Not only the content that His Majesty has advertised to the outside world, but also the fact that you defeated Sirius in the Frost Fortress, and the Crown Prince who led the Temple guards to break into Santa Beta and kill the Holy Blood Empire the other day......

Your deeds are much more famous than you think.

The Chosen One has obvious physical features, dark eyes and black hair, a flat face similar to that of the Windwingers, and no wings.

Historically, he is probably the first Chosen One in the kingdom to have a high-level magical ability. “

Mattida pursed her lips, "That's why I'm sure you're the Chosen One. ”

“……”

Well, Robin sighed, and it seemed that he had been doing a lot of topical things lately.

"Thanks again ......"

Robin bowed slightly, ready to say goodbye with a word of gratitude, and then went back to Raven to figure things out.

The Archmagister will surely have his own opinion on the illusory chaos that happened tonight.

It's not the reason why she's drunk and vomiting blood, right?

"No, don't be in a hurry," the little pink loli in front of him cut off his words.

"It just so happens that I have something I want to discuss with you alone." Mattida smiled slightly, clasped her hands and looked up at Robin, her eyes were cold and her temperament was haughty, "I was looking for a chance to talk when I was preparing for the Chosen One ceremony, but I didn't expect this opportunity to come so early." ”

……

Robin followed the Lori Grand Duke in front of him to the mansion in the aristocratic district.

The maid made a pot of tea, turned and walked out of the room, closing the door.

Only Carol accompanies Grand Duke Lori.

It seems that something very important should be said.

Robin held the cup, and there was a sweet aroma of tea coming from it.

In the cold winter season, after a strange event, it is really a blessing to be able to sit in the soft sofa and drink tea with a warm teacup.

He took a sip of it, the fragrance filling his mouth.

"Let's make an alliance." Lori said openly.

"Poof......

Robin squirted out a sip of tea.

What the hell is this, as soon as you come up, you don't have a head to say such things.
