Two days had passed since the wax-sealed letter had been handed to Princess Tiphia's desk by Duke Thobs, and in the northern part of the kingdom, Orran's time was the early morning of a week after the two brothers, Finn, Lilith, Arya, Countess Calea, and Alfred, came out of the ruins. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As Lord Tax Collector under the Duke of Conlotte, Leah's elder brother Telx had a private aristocratic estate on the outskirts of Orlan, where all the Alfred family's fortunes since its fall were concentrated.

Finn sat by the window of a room in the manor, holding a knife in his right hand that had been sharpened on the skin of an apple, beside him a bed covered with a thick quilt, and his eyes looked out of the window as white as the snow had fallen when he had first arrived in Orland a week earlier, and the region north of the middle and lower reaches of the Lawrence River in the Violet Kingdom was cold in winter, and the temperature was like turning a book.

Finn paused the knife with the peel in his hand and looked out the window with his eyes, recalling the battle he had with Lilith in the pure white room a week ago, and he had always felt that the real reason why Lilith was successfully hit by the Obsidian Codex with the Sword of Fire was not that she took the initiative to break free of the Obsidian Codex's control at the last moment, causing her body to stiffen for a moment in front of the tip of the Sword of Fire, but at that extremely critical moment, Lestada quietly came to his aid from far away.

As for Restada, thanks to her extensive knowledge in the game world in her previous life, Finn still knows a little about this ancient female mage.

He knew that the secret method that Restada had mastered was the precursor to all magic today. Linked to the scene when Lilith inexplicably stiffened in front of him during the battle at that time, although he successfully used the enchantment effect on the Sword of Fire to destroy the obsidian codex and save Lilith, but afterwards he always felt that the reason why Lilith's body suddenly stiffened was because she had temporarily prepared a high-level witchcraft for him at that time, but that witchcraft was disturbed and interrupted at the last moment when it was about to be cast. After all, the wave of magic that Lilith had unleashed at that time fluctuated so violently that even he, a spell-casting layman, could clearly detect it.

So, he speculated that Lilith, who was under the control of the Obsidian Codex, should have cast a legendary spell on herself that would have directly obliterated herself, as Restada had warned herself, and that he was actually ready to survive with the life-saving effect of [Tenacity's] expertise.

However, as an old saying passed down orally by wizards says, the root of witchcraft is the mortal law formulated by the god of magic, Majik, but the magic closest to the power of this law is not witchcraft, but the secret method that did not degenerate into witchcraft until the Second Age. This old saying tells today's wizards that any powerful sorcery is solvable from the point of view of the arcane.

Therefore, considering that the xenophobic consciousness of the Obsidian Codex could not be stupid enough to disarm the legendary spell that he was going to cast, Tukub could not be too distracted in order to maintain the spiritual link, and the only person who had the opportunity and ability to interfere and disarm the legendary spell at that moment could only be Restada.

"Why would Restada help me, though?" Thinking of this, Finn looked at the snow outside the window and blinked, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled in his heart, after all, he knew that Restada had mastered the secret method, and at the same time, he knew that Restada was carrying a vicious curse, which caused Restada to be attacked from within herself once she cast a spell of too high level, and the stronger the effect of the spell, the greater the damage of the magic backlash - this is equivalent to saying that Restada was actually risking her own harm to reach out to him at that time.

According to the gossip he knew in the previous life, in the first age of eternity, St. Dega and Hagia Sophia in the Knights of the Apocalypse came together because of their love for each other, and until then, Hagia Sophia had always been accompanied by a mage female companion who walked with her, and the female mage who was close to Hagia Sophia also made St. Degar's friend because of the relationship between St. Dega and Hagia Sophia.

Forehead......

The female mage who was very close to Hagia Sophia and St. Degath...... Could it be Restada?

"But, wait." He suddenly buried his head again and whispered to himself.

Even if this assumption is true, what does it have to do with me? - he thought to himself.

It is true that the bloodline of my life is very likely to originate from St. Dega, but I have not shared this secret with anyone, and I have never even said anything related to my dreams when I was dreaming, how could Restada be able to conclude that my origin was related to St. Degar from thousands of miles away just by hearing my voice through the distance between the Tower of Babel and the Violet Kingdom, just by hearing my voice through the spiritual link established on the obsidian code by Tukub? Even if she really guessed my bloodline, would she really help me at the risk of injury and self-harm for this small opportunity?

That's too ......

"Finn, what are you thinking?" Suddenly, a girl's voice came from the bedside, pulling the young paladin out of his chaotic thoughts.

Finn looked up at the bed beside him, and saw Arya sitting at the head of the bed in a thick cotton jacket.

Arya held a glass of hot water in her hand, and a faint white smoke rose from the cup on her slightly hot cheeks, making her face look a little red under the rendering of the mist. Her blonde hair was now loosened from her previous ponytail and draped over her shoulders, and she was wearing a set of thick human cotton pajamas, with a cotton jacket on her shoulders and a thick white quilt on her lower body, and her two emerald green eyes looked quite bright, but faintly revealed a strong weakness.

"Arya." Finn came back to his senses and looked at the elf girl who was sitting at the head of the bed wrapped around her body like a little polar bear, "How is it, are you feeling better?" ”

As he spoke, he handed the fruit knife and the apple to his left hand, got up and reached out his right hand to touch Arya's forehead, trying to make sure that her fever had subsided after another night's sleep.

"Your human quilts are really warm." When Finn withdrew his hand from his forehead with a slightly relieved expression on his face, Arya glanced into Finn's eyes, held the water glass in both hands and handed it to his lips and took a sip, "But to be honest, the weather here is really cold compared to the Far South Forest...... Ahem! ”

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a heat in her lungs, and suddenly coughed with a frown, and the hot water she had just swallowed in her throat almost choked into her trachea.

Apparently, she had a cold.

And it's a slightly tricky severe cold for this era of backward medicine.

Finn smiled helplessly, put the apple and fruit knife in his hand sideways on the bedside table, went around to Arya's side to help her take the water glass from his hand, and slapped her back hard with his other hand through a thick cotton jacket, and closed his eyes with a muffled sound as if he was playing cotton.

Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open from the corridor outside, Arya clutched her chest and gasped for a few breaths, raised the fingers of her other hand to rub the tip of her nose, and then turned her head sideways and looked at the door with Finn, and found a bearded dwarf with gray skin like a rock standing there looking at Finn, and said to the young paladin in a respectful tone: "Lord Finn, Miss Lilith has something to do with you. ”

Arya knew the dwarf's identity.

Immediately, she looked back at Finn, who was still standing beside her bed, and found that Finn still had a worried look on his face, so she smiled mischievously at him and gently poked his waist with her hand: "Oh, why don't you go and see your girl." ”

Finn looked back at her, hesitated for a second, then smiled back at her guiltily, picked up the peeled apple from a small plate on the bedside table, handed it to her, and left her bedside, walking out of the room with the gray-skinned dwarf. (To be continued.) )
