The loud bang shook nearly half of the souls, and all the living who had survived the raging plague involuntarily jumped or opened their eyes wide. The eldest daughter of the old king, who was comforting the people in the consul's courtyard at the time, caught a pregnant woman who had almost fallen on top of her, and smiled as she apologized and thanked her in horror to show that she did not mind her unintentional offense—she handed the pot-bellied woman back to her husband, and when she turned around, she unconsciously brought a trace of worry: "What happened?" she asked quietly.

If it were the Dragonfire Islands, the vibrations and sounds would be thought to have been flipped by a dragon sleeping under the pillars of the islands, an interesting theory that was brought to the Southern Islands by the Serris, but in fact it was not—Leona had read in a book that a curious and brave spellcaster had dived thousands of feet deep with the power of magic, and even then, he had not seen a single claw of the dragon, nor had he been able to find the so-called pillars, but had found a number of giant starfish, colored sponges, and feathered gills. He brought them to the surface and described in detail what he saw in that book, but the lords of the Dragonfire Islands and their slaves were dismissive, believing that the ancient, god-like dragons existed, and that they were entrenched in the hot, bright volcanoes, scrubbing their scales with boiling magma, and each eruption and collapse was a search for a more comfortable sleeping position, and the black plumes of smoke that were seen as they erupted from their nostrils.

But Dorin belonged to the Highland Normans, and the Highland Normans were located in the northernmost and highest point of the entire continent, and their feet were hard rocks that even the dwarves had not been able to dig through since their birth and not seawater, and people had no idea of earthquakes, and the senior priest of Cranvo glanced at his brother, and the priest who had taken off his beak mask but was more like a white crow because of his large nose with a crooked nose ran up to the tower of the Archon's mansion and looked down— He saw the mansion that had given birth to sin and death, where red flames were rising.

And the pastors of Ilmot, who were tending to the sick, sensed earlier that things were moving in a good direction. They gave the patient the potion, and their eyes brightened, their faces flushed, and their sanity began to gradually regain their senses, and they no longer vomited continuously, and breathed slowly and vigorously— When priests threw prayerful magic on them or gave them elaborate potions, some of the sick who were already in a near-death state woke up, instead of lying on filthy beds and wandering in the queue to the wasteland of mourning, no matter what treatment they had received.

They woke up. She immediately began to pray for water and food, and although she was still weak, even ordinary people could tell that they had begun to get better—Baldwin was the former, and Meimi was the latter, and she was almost ecstatic, but she immediately found that the priest of Ilmot was about to leave Baldwin's room after filling him with a bottle of healing potion and making sure it worked: "Where are you going?" she pleaded, grabbing the other man's gray robes rudely, "Your Excellency is not completely healed yet." ”

The senior pastor of Ilmot kindly pulled back his robes: "His condition has stabilized," he said, "and there are more serious patients waiting for me." ”

"But he's a lord. ”

Ilmot's senior pastor sighed. But even among his brothers, he was a patient and merciful man: "I am going to heal a gentleman," he said wittily, "and he is only this ...... A third or even less of the warriors. ”

"Come to me. "I don't need treatment anymore." Mei Mi, please give me some water, or, if there is. A little bread in the broth. He no longer felt the terrible melting of something in his body, but he did feel pain, the torture that must be experienced when the internal organs regrow under the effects of healing. He made sure that his stomach was long and perfect, because he felt empty in another sense, and desperately needed something to fill.

"We don't mind the followers of other gods praying to her here. "Ma'am, this is no longer the confines of the Ilmot Church, and you can pray to your gods for a magic spell—you are not the only one in need of help." ”

He walked out, and not far from Bedwin's room, there was also a special person who needed careful attention—he walked into the room, the priests bowed to him, the boy lying on the bed turned his head to him, the senior priest lovingly stroked his forehead, closed his eyes, and prayed to his gods for another powerful healing technique, white light shone like warm snowflakes from the misty sun, and the boy accepted them with peace of mind— The snowflakes seeped into his skin and shirt, and the priests were delighted to find that it had worked in a way that had not been possible before, that the nodules of the plague had been plucked from the weak body, and that he would need to recuperate for a while, but that he would live in good health, for fifty years or more.

Leona had wanted to live in tents with the people of Doling, but at the insistence of Senior Pastor Kranwo and the residents, she was transferred to the Archon's room, which was very clean and located on the highest point of the building, and looked down from the huge window to the square atrium, "Look at that window," Leona said to the little girl biting her fingers, "I'll sit in front of that window and watch you— I'm with you. ”

She said and did so, even refusing the boiling hot bath water, sesame oil, and clean clothes, which she needed after a night of galloping, but she didn't want to let herself out of sight for too long, so she sat at the window, let the scorching sun illuminate her sparkling red hair, and simply ate a few small biscuits and drank a glass of mead.

The sun was warm, and Leona squinted her eyes to avoid the glare of the glass, knowing from the priest of Ilmut that the root of the plague had been purified and that the sick were soon regaining their health. With one hand on her chin, she was tired, but she was sleepy from the thoughts of the spirited people and Birdwin.

"Hail to you, Lady of the Highlands Norman. ”

Leona retracted her gaze and found that it was the priest who had tried to persuade her to stay away from the spirits and for the sake of the spirits to allow her to enter the spirits, and he was dressed in a gray robe, with three gray tears tattooed under his eyes, indicating that he was in a leading position among Ilmut's followers: "May the good Ilmut deliver us from suffering—the most devout followers of Ilmut, and I would like to pay tribute to you, if not for you." And the followers of fair Cranvo, the city has been plagued by more disasters than that. ”

"This is exactly what we want," said the senior pastor of Ilmot, "and we are willing to bear their suffering for every man in the world—and I am pleased to tell you, Your Highness, that friend of yours, that warrior, that he has recovered and will soon be healed." ”

Leona gave him a happy smile from the heart.

"You can visit him later," said Ilmot's senior pastor, "but until then, if you allow it." I hope you will grant one of my requests. ”

"Speak. ”

"There is a child who wants to be able to meet His Highness immediately. The senior pastor of Ilmot said, "His name is Maren Lorenos. ”

"I've heard the surname Lorenos, and it's the lord of Doling who owns it. ”

"Mullen is the nephew of the lord of this place. The priest of Ilmot said: "In the beginning, it was fortunate that the young Lorenos was present, the consul and his deputy. And the captain of the garrison was one of the first poor men to fall under the devil's claws, and when we entered Dorling, he was the one who helped us control the entire city and prevent the rapid spread of the plague - and he also took out the family coat of arms. After opening the inner library of the Archon's Mansion, many of the scrolls, wands, and herbs we use came from the inner library - if it weren't for him, you might only see a fraction of what you see now. ”

"A brave and resolute child. Leona exclaimed. Then she thought of something, and looked surprised, "But if I am mistaken, please forgive me - honorable followers of Ilmot, the lord of Dorling wanted to burn down the entire city before I entered the Dorling. ”

"I don't know what that one thinks. Ilmot's senior pastor said, "In fact, in addition to his nephew, his wife and two daughters are also here. ”

"Are his wife and daughter patients?"

"No," said the senior priest of Ilmot, as if disturbed by some unpleasant memory, "but they have not seen each other for a long time—the lord has a beloved lover and several children born out of wedlock. ”

"I see. Leona said, "Then let him come to me." ”

"If you don't mind he's just just healed. ”

"The fact that he was able to walk in here means that the disease in him is gone," Leona said, "and I am not afraid of a child." ”

Maren Lorenos entered the room with the support of a priest, and as Leona praised, he was still a child, like all teenagers, who had become thin and slender, and his back was slightly arched, but it was also possible that his lips and cheeks were still lacking in blood because he had recovered from a serious illness, but he was still very steady when he pushed the priest's arm away, and stood and bowed his knees to Leona.

He saluted Leona in a faint, trembling voice, and apologized for not being able to meet him in person, with a deep and real emotion in his words, which was not what a strange princess deserved.

"Did you see me before today?" asked Leona.

"Nope. "Do not be surprised," said the boy, "for I have come from my father, who was one of your father's favorite courtiers," said the boy. Our beloved old king, who once said of you that you are his heir, demanded that my father be loyal to you—but sadly, my father left me forever in the second year after his return to Doling, but every word he said is deeply in my heart. ”

"You are his son. "Leona has figured out the surname Lorenos from memory.

"Yes. ”

"You should be the heir to so many spirits. ”

"If it weren't for the new king, no, the honorable lord was only a duke at that time—one of my uncle's illegitimate daughters was his lover, and he was willing to snatch his land and money from an orphan to the man who was supposed to protect the child—I had survived by hiding under his wife's skirt, and I was not afraid of death, even if I should have died a hundred years later, but I could not have seen my father's honour fall into the hands of his brother and not his son. ”

"Mullen ......"

"Your Highness, I am complaining to you. Your Highness, I am also pleading for you, and I ask you to help me as you are to help yourself—let those who deserve it be gained, and let those who do not deserve it have their hands cut off—Honorable princess, heir of the Norman Highlands, I beseech you, as long as you are willing to have mercy on me and help me, I will give all my loyalty and love. Anytime, anywhere, as long as you have a letter, a call, a gesture ......"

"Mullen ......"

"Please, you have the right!"

"I'm sorry," Leona said calmly and sadly, "but listen to me, I must tell you that I can't help you...... Mullen. Because I...... I came here to give up this right in my hands. ”

The elf hung his head, he hadn't felt so tired even when dealing with the dryads and the peas, "I'm not going to interfere with what you do," he said gently, "but have you really thought it through?"

"I've been thinking about it long enough. "It's not just thoughts, I'm putting it into action, but as you can see." Ranger, there is too little, too little I can do in the royal capital. Although so many people were convinced that Baldwin was innocent, their words could not reach the ears of the new king and the gods, on the contrary, my actions caused some resentment, I was driven out by the priest of Tyre, the priests of Rosada were no longer willing to let their brothers come into contact with me, the nobles who had sworn allegiance to me seemed to be respectful and kind, but in fact they were cold and detached, they did not promise me anything, but they demanded much from me, some of them swore that if I made a marriage contract with their son, they would support me to become king of the Norman Highlands, and they didn't even mind that the first thing I did when I ascended the throne was to pardon him。 ”

The red-haired young girl smiled slightly, "If I hadn't spent five full years with my father," she stroked the hunting knife, "I might have believed them, but I know they're just deceiving and perfunctory, and if I ever wear a crown on my head, then before I suspect that Baldwin's head would have fallen to the ground—they only wanted to be the grandfather of the Norman kings of the Highlands, and even I wouldn't be indispensable if that was to happen— By then, they might have become the Norman kings of the Highlands. ”

"I stayed up all night, thinking about it. Leona continued: "Until a bald eagle awakened me—it caught a fleeing mouse in the midst of a messy feast, its rich food was all over the table, and its human bow and arrow threatened its life, but it was not at all tempted or intimidated, and it was unwavering—it came for the mouse, and only for it, then what did I do so for? For the sake of my loved one—without whom all my work would be meaningless."

Careyben, you told me that my protection would carry out Birdwin's charges, but in fact, even without me, they could have brought this horrible crime down on an innocent man, and you reminded me that using my rights and status to get a petition or a pardon for Baldwin, and I tried, and the result is as you heard. She stood up: "I know why you say that...... You don't just want to protect him, you don't want me to get involved, because in your opinion, I don't have an obligation to do it for him—and I don't have the right to do it, but Ranger, I love him, and I love him more than anything else. ”

"Is it better than the throne?"

A voice they were all familiar with suddenly interjected.

"Maybe you don't know, Your Highness," Dylan Don Crere, who walked into the room, pulled down his hood and bowed shallowly, "There is a large number of nobles who want to change the inheritance law to allow their daughters to inherit their father's surname and domain. ”

Cremar looked at the priest of Cranvo, "He threatens us. The pastor "said" in silence.

"It is impossible," said Leona, "my father, the old king of Norman, has gone to the plain of mourning, and his promise has been buried deep in the black earth, and they cannot benefit from it even a motive. ”

"Who says no," said Dylan, "they have daughters and granddaughters." He looked at Leona: "If the inheritance law is changed, then you will become the first heir of the Norman of the Highlands." ”

Leona was silent for a while: "...... I'm not going to change my mind - Dylan, maybe you'd like to sign the paperwork as a witness?" she smiled pleasantly.

What were they discussing? The otherworldly soul cast a small spell so that he and Kerry could talk to each other unnoticed without using their tongues or fingers.

One of the seventy-two ancient edicts of the Norman in the Highlands, Kerry said in his heart that Leona would become Birdwin's protector, and as a protector, he could bear the charge of being a protector if he wanted to, but the problem was that the crime of killing a king was too heavy for a member of the royal family.

"Do you really know what you're doing?" said Dylan, "Allow me to remind you, my dear cousin, if you insist on doing so," he glanced at Baldwin, "the charges you have to bear may result in exile, the stripping of your family name, and the new king will take back your realm, Billund and Oulu, and even more so you will not be able to return to the Highlands for the rest of your life."
