Chapter 39: Today's Realization of "I" (Final Chapter of the Volume)
Imperial.
Duke Hywell, dressed in a red robe, with the sword "Yanguang" pinned to his waist, walked through the corridors of the palace. The guards and maids bowed to him.
Suddenly.
"I will soon set out with Litenda and Friedrich to the pure white city of the French kingdom of Elrios," the Emperor's voice echoed in the Duke's ears, "and the Imperial Capital will trouble you and Victor." Hopefully, I can stop the battle between Elrios and Okad. β
The Duke looked up with a thoughtful expression. The guards and maids not far away looked at the duke suspiciously, they couldn't hear the emperor's words, and they didn't know why the most famous general of the empire was stunned.
"Not only Fred, but also Lichenda...... duke said to himself. The queen hadn't traveled with her husband for a long time.
"I hope all the best." The Duke meditated.
On the same day, Emperor Dietford III took his wife Lichenda, Chancellor Friedrich, and Princess Bina and her fiancΓ© Cliff to Errios.
β¦β¦
Donoz Sea.
Since the incident on the island in the middle of the lake of the Holy See, this largest inland lake in the world above the clouds has lost its former prosperity. The lake is calm, but only a few boats are allowed to go out to sea.
Next to a fishing port on the shore.
A young mage in a white robe and glasses walked towards a hut. He is the "golden generation" of the French state, the "hermit of the sea" Trenaud? La Mantasenis. At that time, he was cultivating in seclusion on this shore, and he broke through to the blue sky level at a young age, and was known as the genius of the French Power Country second only to Cliff.
Few people know about ...... He was taught by a teacher during this time. It was a legendary mage who lived in seclusion on the shores of Donoz, and even the Holy See knew of his existence. It's just that he passed away a year ago.
"Luke, are you there?" Standing in front of the teacher's cabin, Treyno knocked on the door. After the death of the teacher, Mr. Hyde, only the teacher's grandson, Luke, remained in the hut? Hyde too.
"Ahh It's you, Trenor. A lazy voice came from the room.
"What do you mean, 'It's you,'" Traynor said, noticing that the door was unlocked and pushing it in, "didn't you call me here?" You said that the teacher had a will for me. β
"That's right."
Luke is a young man with unkempt hair. Trenor asked himself if Luke's spell-casting talent was not below him, but it was a pity that he was too lazy, and he barely broke through to the Blue Sky level in his twenties. It's a set of weird martial arts that Luke has practiced quite well.
"When the major forces besieged the city of Palamedes, the teacher didn't make a move," Treno asked suspiciously, "What did he really have about the war between Elrios and Okade......
"I don't quite understand," said Luke, "but he told me that if Speaker Nicholas declared war on Elrios any day, he would give this box to a trusted Mage Elrios. β
"This box?"
"It's inside. Lo and behold, it's the one. Luke gestured to the corner of the room. The fisherman's cottage had only two rooms, the inner and the outer for the sleeping quarters and the living room and kitchen, and was littered with dilapidated miscellaneous items, some of which still smelled fishy.
"I don't know why you don't have any fishy smell on you." Treno muttered. He followed Luke's finger and there was a rusty chest.
Trenor waved his hand, trying to summon the chest into his hand with a silent spell. But the box didn't move. Confused, he walked towards the box, fiddling with it in his hands. His face gradually became solemn.
"It's definitely the creation of a legendary mage," he said, "and it's tightly locked." If anyone casts a spell with the intention of opening it, it will be able to cancel out the spell. β
"Can you open it?" Luke asked.
"If it is violently dismantled, this thing can still teleport itself. But it's at least a few hundred years old. Did the teacher really do it? β
"Maybe it's the teacher's teacher?"
Trenor wanted to contradict him, but he had to admit that he had a point.
"Although it is the creation of a legendary mage, after all, it is very old, and the power of the spell has dissipated very much," Traynor said, "Give me some time, I have the confidence to open it." But I can't stay here. I'll have to take it back to the White City. β
"Grandpa said this box had to be opened in front of me." Luke said seriously.
Traynor took two seconds to gauge Luke's expression, thinking he wasn't joking. Sometimes family heirlooms do have such a design, only allowing their own children and grandchildren to open their bloodlines and so on.
"I understand, then you go back with me." Traynaud said.
"But ......"
"Don't 'but'. The mansion of my La Mantasenis family is more than enough for a few hundred guests like you," said Trenor, "and now that they close the port, you have nothing to do, do you?" β
"Okay." Luke was helpless.
---------------------------------
The city of pure white.
The garrison of the city guard is now tripling its defenses. In addition to ordinary soldiers, there are also battle mages to guard.
As Okade's senior general, Lijie? Clemens obviously wouldn't be an ordinary spy. Why did she come to the Pure White City at this juncture? Lijie herself is not a resourceful person, and who is behind the scenes?
Someone proposed to immediately order the Blue Ocean level Confusion Control Master to use the Confusion Control Spell on Li Jie, so that she could spit out everything she knew.
This proposal has attracted a lot of opposition. Lijie was not a captive they had captured on the battlefield, and if it weren't for protecting the people of Elrios, Lijie wouldn't have been discovered at all.
Not to mention, the laws of the Dharma-Nation already have strict restrictions on the spells of confusion and control. The arguments like this go on and on.
In the end, the only way to put Lijie under house arrest for the time being was to inform Okade diplomatically. Lijie's companion, who also served in the Okard Army, is suspected to be the blue-haired woman of Melia, the daughter of Mr. Palamedes, has not been found and is being searched throughout the city.
The girl only glanced at Lijie from afar. Lin Na once "killed" her once, and then was destroyed by the "eternal blood". This history hasn't changed much even in the current world, but everyone remembers the use of "Palm of the Underworld" and the repulsion of "Eternal Blood" from Goth to other Franbel? Matthias and Levy? Fedorovich, the two Black Apostles.
She walked out of the city, through the bustling streets.
β¦β¦
Wei stayed outside the garrison of Lijie's city guard for a long time. He didn't wear a mask. In this world, only Lizzie and Speaker Nicholas know the true face of the "Eternal Blood".
A few times, he wanted to go straight in. With the combined mana of God, Mystery, and Mystery, he was confident that he would wipe out all the guards stationed in the station in a matter of seconds. However, he kept reminding himself that this was in the heart of the enemy's capital, the thousand-year-old capital of Thales, the pure white city. Even if he can rescue Lijie, it will be difficult to escape from this city by half a step.
Who knows how many forces the French powers have gathered in the capital with a great war on the horizon? Not to mention anything else, there are 27 of the "Blue Ocean Twenty-eight Towers" in the city lit up with a pale white light that represents the master's current tower. And that's not even counting the masters hidden all over the city. I'm afraid that the moment I do it, I will alarm the double-digit blue ocean level to besiege myself!
"It's all mine, it's wrong."
He could only leave with hatred. At least meet up with Melia first.
Now it must be calm, he thought.
β¦β¦
Even in wartime, the White City is one of the most lively cities on the clouds. The shops on the street are full of goods. Wei didn't have the heart to look at them more. He walked briskly through the hustle and bustle of the crowd. He was engrossed in thinking about his next move, not glancing at the crowd around him.
Naturally, he didn't care about a blonde girl in blue who passed by him.
The girl didn't pay attention to him. But out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Wei. She looked up as if she realized something.
What caught her eye was a side face that was about to disappear around the corner of the street.
The facial features are upright, the face is pale, and it is a face that can be seen everywhere.
The girl's face changed. It was as if all the blood in the body was pouring into the brain. She didn't even feel that way when she was aware of the presence of another traverser.
"That's ......"
"'Me'?"
