"How's the matter going with the White Tower? ”

"The priests of Rosada, Ilmut and Sulun are already watching this matter, and the followers of Chati and Gulaba are observing the soil and crops, but it's just ......"

"It's just that there are some people who don't think that a plant can create dangers that they can't imagine. The King of the Jungle said.

"Yes. Perrant said that humans are extremely proud and inferior creatures, and as an elf, despite the best efforts of Mage Alva and others, he still does not have much trust. Some people even joked about how nervous the elves were about the "devil's fingers", thinking that this was just another fuss from the elves. Admittedly, the toxicity of this plant is not even comparable to that of aconitum and mandala, and even some priests and mages have been taking this medicine continuously, believing that it soothes the nerves, strengthens the senses, and accelerates the speed at which they enter meditation.

Of the many spellcasters who were willing to be invited by the archons and mages of Alva at the Castle, probably only the priest of Ilmot was the most sober, as followers of the gods who voluntarily took on the pain and calamity of the entire plane, they were better at patience and discernment than anyone else, Ilmot did not insist that humans must live in pain, but the priests of Ilmot did not approve of the act of paralyzing themselves to escape, rather than solving and bearing them.

"What else?" Ingway was keenly aware of Perrante's desire to speak.

Perrant closed his eyes slightly: "Ilmot's followers may take some ...... Drastic means. ”

"Anrui. ”

"Yes, ruler of the White Tower and the Partridge Hill. "Even if she's not really in power," Perrante said. But if ...... If only her child remains, then Archduke Luzel of Luther will appoint a person to be the guardian of this child, most likely himself. If Anrui's child dies, then he will be able to reclaim the White Tower and the Partridge Hill. ”

"Grenada's red robe will deter anyone who wants to be bad for Ann Rui. The King of the Jungle said, "So, Perrante, tell me, why are you so worried?"

"I'm just missing Anrui's mother. Perrante said that it was she who had placed Anrui's little hand in his palm, and he remembered the tenderness. Slender, like a kitten's paw, Anrui was still so small at that time. Small ones can be hidden in the buds of roses.

"Reserve your pity and apologies," Ingwe said indifferently, "it is not your fault, and do not forget that what is human belongs to human beings." What is elf belongs to the elf. ”

"You're right. Perrante said that he knew very well that although Anrui had elven blood, she had never been educated by elves for a day, and that her soul was human, and that after so many things, this was the only thing he could be sure of: "And Kerry Ben......"

"Why," the King of the Jungle walked over to the table and sat down, opening a scroll, "He just sent me a letter a few days ago. The next year's festival day for Angres, he may have to spend it in the Far North. ”

After a little bit of blame for his king, he actually hid Kerryben's letters, and Perlant couldn't help but be really anxious: "I think I should have a short vacation. ”

"Of course you can go on vacation," said the King of the Jungle, "my friend." You haven't had a break in three hundred years, but I don't think you want to go out with Raven, at least not at this time, what do you want to do?"

"Go to Kerryben. Perrante said.

The King of the Jungle glanced at him curiously, "Do you want to persuade him to come back to us?"

Perrante gave his king a roll of the eye in his heart not very respectfully: "Let him leave his friend, and that little chick...... It's not easy - I want to go with him. ”

"You are a powerful druid," said the King of the Jungle, "but that is dangerous. ”

"It's been a long time since I've danced with swords and arrows and a blizzard," Perrante said, "and I can still hear the blood in my body roaring late every night longing for battle." ”

The King of the Jungle looked up at him, Perrant was only born a hundred years after him, and after traveling abroad for nearly three hundred years as an adult, he became his chief guard after returning to the Silver Crown Forest, and in that catastrophe a thousand years ago, Ingway lost not only his wife, but also his chief guard- Mortal was mortally wounded in a battle with a Kavu priest and spent nearly fifty years dormant before barely getting better, after which he had to step down from his position as chief of the guard and become the administrator of Grey Ridge, doing some light and peaceful clerical work.

His strength may not be comparable to that of Ingway, the King of the Jungle, but when it comes to combat skills and experience, he is no less than his King, and he also loves Kerryben, whose only descendant has grown up almost on his back and shoulders.

"Then go," said the King of the Jungle softly, pushing away the scroll, standing up, walking over to Perrante, and removing his collar pin, which was also a rune seal containing powerful guardian magic, pinned to Perrante's neckline, "My friend, tell Keriben that I am waiting for him to come back in the Silvercrown Forest. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"What about this child?" At about the same time, there was someone in the temple of the side island who had similar troubles with Perante, and although the child was not his own, nor of the man to whom he was loyal, but he had the status of an heir to a lord, and if Anrui died, then he would be the heir to the White Tower and the Partridge Hills—and these two places, with hills, plains, rivers, roads and cities, fertile soil, and a large population, were good places that no ruler would want to give up. Think of Luzel of Luther, whose duchy was also a coveted treasure box (otherwise he would not have been able to afford soldiers and knights to rival the Normans of the Highlands), but still had a grudge for the White Tower and the Partridge Hill.

"If only Luzel knew he was with us. He has the right to ask for the child. "If Ann Rui does ......"

"But he doesn't know. Leona said.

"If we can get the treasure of that one," said Berdwin cryptically, "then we probably won't need it." ”

"But I've given Anrui my promise," Leona said mildly. She made the child sit on her lap and held his little hand with both hands: "Although I am still only Leona, not the princess of the Norman of the Highlands. ”

"I don't mean to let you break your promise," said Berdwin hurriedly, "I'm just afraid that we won't be able to protect him—given that we're leaving soon, and that it's impossible to take him with us." ”

"I've got a solution," Leona looked down at Anrui's son, who looked up just in time. The face of the princess was clearly reflected in the blue sky: "We can try," she pinched the child's fingers, "and he will be safe." ”

"I hope so. Berdwin said.

Mei Mi was amazed to see Leona in her room, and the princess dressed herself as a man. Her red hair was a rarity in the Dragonfire Islands, so she imitated the pirates in intricately patterned silk satin turbans, revealing only angular faces and leather armor. Leggings and boots. Hanging with a dagger and a short knife, it is almost indistinguishable from a real man except for the "strong" part of the chest.

An apprentice brought them wine and food, and the little girl's face turned pale as Leona stared at her—men with bad and vile habits, and even though they were doctrinally mature enough to become Flo's priests, their mentors would sometimes turn a deaf ear to their wails if they accepted expensive enough gifts.

"Alright, don't stare at that little guy like that, you're going to freak out her. Plum reclined on the low couch piled high with goose down pillows. I put a grape in my mouth, and the grapes are no longer so full and juicy. But it's sweeter than before: "That's not what you like." With a flick of her wrist, the apprentice withdrew as if pardoned, leaving the room to Memmy and her guests.

"Is there anything you want me to do?" said Mei Mi, "Your Highness, but I must state in advance that I will not return your gift, whether I can do it or not." ”

Of course, you can't enter Pastor Flo's room empty-handed, especially since Memy is still the administrator of the temple, and is theoretically the most favored one by Flo. Leona pulled out an amber amulet, a base of pure gold, surrounded by fine pieces of emerald and rubellite, enough to allow him to enjoy the hospitality of Priest Flo all night, even if it wasn't a magical paraphernalia.

"There seem to be quite a few children in your temple. ”

"Our apprentice," Mei Mi said, tilting her toes so that the thumbs of her left and right feet bowed to each other, "is there any problem?"

"Where did they all come from?"

Mei Mi glanced at Leona warily, "Some are her mother's children," like Mei Mi and her mother, Pastor Flo would use herbs for contraception, but there were times when she made a mistake, if it was a boy, she would be given to her father or abandoned, if it was a girl, she was born Pastor Flo, who was both her mother's child and her mother's apprentice, and when Plum recruited Pastor Flo's Wild Priest, there were two priests with their daughters, "and some were bought from merchants - it was much better than being a slave." ”

"And how about buying another one?" said Leona.

"What?"

"Let him be your apprentice," said Leona, "of course, temporarily, let him be by your side, and I will give you a ...... for this" She surveyed the room, "enough gold to fill this room, what do you think?"

"He?" Mei Mi was not carried away by the gold coins that could fill a room, she jumped up from the low couch, "He, a boy?"

"A boy. Leona smiled and said, "But it's cute." ”

"If discovered," said Memi, "I will be charged with blasphemy." ”

"Who will accuse you, who will judge you?" said Leona, "After we left, the people who ruled this place were Adel and the knights, and they knew about it. ”

"Then let that child go to them, Rosada should need a boy more than Flo. ”

"No, if anyone wants to find out his whereabouts first, the first ones to bear the brunt are the knights Xiu and Adair. "But no one will notice a Flor apprentice." ”

"I may not be able to protect him. ”

"I'll ask the mage to copy the scroll for you. ”

Mei Mi still shook her head: "He will regard this as a lifelong shame." ”

"I think you still have the right to hide him and be the senior pastor of this temple," Leona said.

"Okay...... If you insist, but if so, I need someone in my room," Glenn was also on his way to the Far North Sea, and after he left, Meme's room might be empty for a long time, and during this time, there would be more eyes on her than the little prostitute, but to be honest, Memy really didn't have much interest in dealing with men other than Glenn, "Adel, Xiu, or whoever you think you can trust, let them bring gold and precious stones, and things will be more ...... Safe. ”

Leona understood what she meant: "I promise," she said, "but you have to promise too." ”

"Give me the scroll of protection and teleportation," said Memi, "and if something happens, I will flee with him to the knight's place." And," she gasped, "give me a hundred gold coins first, and I'll go to the merchant, one is too eye-catching, I'll pick three or four, and you let them take one." ”

"No problem. Leona said, "So...... Goodbye?"

"Goodbye. "Wait, don't be so eager, I'll be laughed at and despised - sleep here for the night, my handsome pirate, I'll let them bring new sheets and pillows, and there's a bath, do you like to bathe in sesame oil?"

"Yes," said Leona generously, taking off her leather armor, and after a long period of suppression, the part suddenly swelled up, and Memi glanced at it, and turned her head less happily: "Give me another lamb and oysters," said the princess before entering the misty bathroom, "add some light wine and olives...... Oh yes, I love your robes. ”

"It's silk. ”

"My gift to you could buy a whole boatload of such silk. ”

"I hate you. ”

"Don't do that," the princess let out a pleasant sigh as she slipped into the tub, "I've always liked you." (To be continued.) )
