Chapter 26: Before the Battle 1
A sharp knock on the door sounded from the door, Vincent heard it, and immediately used his mental power to sense who was coming, and then glanced at Avensie to go to the bedroom first, and waited until Avensie closed the bedroom door completely, and then he said, "Please come in." ”
Sure enough, the person who pushed the door in a slightly hurry was none other than Carinion, who had gone with them to the auction house, and Carinion was rather embarrassed and said, "It's rude, Lord Vincent." ”
Vincent waved his hand and said apologetically: "Speaking of which, it is me who should apologize more, after all, I didn't discuss my previous actions with you in advance." ”
"But you ......"
"Okay, the whole thing, it has nothing to do with you at all, it's completely my personal problem, besides, the purpose of my visit to the auction house was originally to get back the crystal mine, but it's because of me, I'm afraid that life will be difficult in the future. ”
When Kerrinion heard Vincent's explanation, he stopped talking nonsense and said bluntly the reason why he was in a hurry: "Have you noticed that this auction seems to be deliberately aimed at you? ”
"For me? I like this is the first time I've been to this aristocratic district, right?!, not to mention having a disagreement with the Cathy family. Vincent wondered.
Seeing Vincent's unaware, Kerrinion hurriedly said: "You don't know how important you are in Her Majesty's heart, and the Kerry family also knows that Her Majesty values you, how dare they, how dare they go against you and Her Majesty." ”
Vincent sat up straight and asked with great interest, "Oh, tell me how much the Queen thinks of me, and why I feel from your words that the Casey family must be afraid of the Queen." ”
Kerrinion subconsciously glanced around, and then whispered, "You don't know what kind of terrible situation the empire faced before Her Majesty ascended the throne. It wasn't until Her Majesty the Queen killed most of them with thunder, like a poisonous sore parasitic on the empire, that the heinous nobles ushered in today's prosperity. ”
After coughing as if clearing his throat, Kerrinion continued: "Ahem, it is said that Her Majesty even received the full cooperation of the temple in the purge operation that year, and was able to successfully cut the grass and eradicate the roots, leaving no future troubles. ”
"It is precisely because since the establishment of the empire that the temple, which has not participated in the affairs of the empire, will actually help Her Majesty, so the nobles who survived by luck are naturally very in awe of Her Majesty. ”
"And the Cathy family, but the old nobles who have experienced that purge, it is said that they will never dare to offend Her Majesty. ”
"As for you, Her Majesty, in order to reduce the probability of you being targeted by the demon spies, Her Majesty has spread a lot of false news about you, and ordered all of us who know your name to be silenced, so that no one can easily obtain your true information. ”
Vincent understood and continued Kerrinion's words and said, "So I exposed myself yesterday? You apologize to me for this?"
"Yes, if I hadn't gone with you, they wouldn't have been so easy to guess who you are. ”
Vincent leaned on the back of the sofa relaxedly, his hands also rested on the back of the sofa, and said lazily: "However, no matter what conspiracy the two Caysie brothers have, in two days, they can win the duel, can they still have a way to kill me in full view?"
Kerrinion was also quite puzzled: "Yes, I don't know, if they really want to kill you, why did they choose after Her Majesty returns?"
"I don't know what you're capable of, but I hope you'd better be careful. ”
"I see, thanks for the reminder. Vincent's kindness to Kerrinion was naturally accepted with an open mind.
After explaining his intentions, when Kerrinion got up to leave, Vincent stopped him again and said, "Do me a favor and spread the news that I will never use magic more than the fourth order of power in a duel in two days." ”
Kerrinion thought for a moment, and quickly thought that he had guessed the 'purpose' of Vincent's words, and said, "I know, I understand, if you say that you don't use magic beyond the fourth order, they probably won't believe it, and it's even more difficult to judge your true strength." ”
[If it's not a mission requirement, I'd love to shoot one fireball at a time, solve it quickly, and bring the power core back to the abyss as soon as possible.] ]
Vincent smiled like a "knowing heart", and after personally sending Kerinien out, he spoke:
"Avensi, it's time to come out. ”
Avensy didn't make a sound, and walked out quietly, but asked, "Your Majesty, why did you let me hide in the bedroom?" ”
"I thought Kyrhinian was going to ask about you, so I ordered you to hide. ”
"Why? Didn't His Majesty discuss with me about my identity?"
Vincent scratched his chin and said helplessly, "You know, it's a good thing for me that you keep the necessary mystery, understand?"
Evinsi tilted his head in confusion and said, "I don't understand." ”
[Is it still that NC still can't think now?]
Vincent had no choice but to explain the reason: "You, in the eyes of those who don't know the truth, are a fifth-order magician, and like me, your identity is a mystery. Then they will think, what is my background, how many followers like you do I have, and even the followers have fifth-order strength, but what about my own real strength? ”
"Understood. Evensey said with a serious face.
Vincent looked out through the wide open window, the brightly lit and bustling scenery of the aristocratic quarter, in stark contrast to the small village of Aemia, the world was always so real no matter where he was.
Avensi, who had come quietly, stayed silently beside Vincent, also looking into the distance, the light reflected in his dark black eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, Vincent turned sideways, stared into Vensey's eyes, and said, "Do you have a way to communicate with the guardians of the Abyss?"
As if taken aback, Vensey took a step back, or perhaps because of Vincent's aggressive gaze, she said timidly, "Yes, Vincent's crown." ”
"Well, you can ask now, what is the current situation of the Immortal Abyss. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty," said Avansi, as soon as he finished speaking, his left hand was raised upward, staying on his chest, slightly closing his open palm, palm facing upward, and said, "Call, Aurora." ”
In an instant, a burst of white light flickered in the palm of Evan Xi's hand, which was originally empty, and finally formed a miniature version of the humanoid creature virtual image, which was none other than Aurora Angel, the deputy leader of the Guardian of the Immortal.
Vincent, who watched the whole process, was also amazed that he could actually witness the holographic projection in the wizarding world.
As if noticing that Vincent was also there, Aurora hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said excitedly: "Your Majesty Vincennes, it's a pleasure to see you again." ”
"Thank you, my Guardian. ”
"Please don't say that, it's our mission to protect the abyss. ”
Avensi, who had been quiet, listened to a few words, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, this magic still consumes a lot of spiritual power, so I may not last long, please..."
Vincent immediately looked at Evinsi, saw that her originally delicate pink cherry lips were gradually turning pale, and knew that what she said was true, so he returned to the topic: "How is the situation on the other side of the Immortal Abyss?"
"There is nothing wrong with it, but we can detect that someone is digging up the earth and rocks above the Abyss, but it is progressing very slowly. ”
"Don't worry, in two days, Avins and I will definitely bring back the flight power core, and you can rest completely. ”
"Well, on that day, all of our Guardians will welcome you back, Your Majesty. ”
"Got it, let's rest. As soon as Vincent's words fell, Aurora's phantom vanished without a trace, almost in the blink of an eye.
And Avensi, who consumed a lot of mental power, shook her delicate body and almost didn't stand firm, but fortunately, Vincent, who had been paying attention to her, strode over and stretched out his hand to support her, so that Avensie did not fall.
Vincent helped Evensy and asked her to sit down slowly, and at the same time took out the restorative food from the inventory, stuffed it into Evensy's hand and said, "Drink it quickly, restore your mental strength." ”
Evancy didn't care about the dark color of the food, and after drinking it in one gulp, he stuck out his tongue and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's too hard to drink." ”
Vincent, who was half-paralyzed on the sofa, ignored Avensi's witty words, and said casually: "I have the spirit to speak, it seems that the effect is good." ”
"Avensi, what kind of person I am in your eyes. Vincent was silent for a moment, then asked abruptly, as if unintentionally, in a very ordinary tone.
"You are the master of the Abyss, the master of our guardians, and the one who gives life to us. ”
Vincent snorted, but turned to something else: "Actually, I'm curious, you have been sleeping since I created it, don't you have any idea about my actions?"
Avonsie said excitedly as if she had been furred by an enraged kitten, "Since you have decided that we will continue to sleep, you naturally have your reasons, how can we be dissatisfied with your choice?"
"Yes, I see, if one day I need you to die for me, can you do it, can you die willingly without regrets?"
"Of course... OK. ”
Avensey covered her mouth in amazement, as if surprised at her hesitant answer.
Vincent also noticed Evensy's actions and laughed out loud: "Hahaha. ”
Halfway through the laughter, Vincent jerked up, walked over to Vansey, and sat down close to her, his face drawing closer to Evensy's side of the face, staring viciously into Vancy's flustered eyes as if he had locked on to his prey.
Sighing in Avensi's ear like a demon's whisper:
"Look, you, like me, are all human beings, real human beings. ”
