183 The Territory of Arphad
"Luther?!"
Lin Shu was a little surprised, she originally thought that the first person to come to greet her would be Yafeyd. [No pop-ups] Not to mention anything else, the latter's ability to be sticky from childhood to adulthood has never changed.
Luther strode behind a few guards, looking surprised: "I was about to go to the border to do something, why are you here?!" ”
"Come and travel."
“…… You can't have just asked Alphad to connect to the teleport, right?! ”
"yes, what's wrong?!"
"Not really." Luther couldn't help but laugh: "I just finally understood why Arphad was in a hurry to let me go out on patrol." "This kid is so ruthless to his own big brother, and he doesn't let go of any male creature around the elf queen who has anything to do with him......
Luther had just received a summons from Alphaed, and it happened that he had nothing else to do, and he was on the street, so he came over directly, and just collided with Lin Su. If it had been a little later, he would probably not have heard the news of the Elven Queen's arrival in the territory until he got the border barracks.
Lin Shu smiled: "Children are not sensible." Her heart moved, and seeing Luther reminded her of the doubts that flashed last time...... Really, it seems like I'm missing something that might be crucial.
Several guards saluted Lin Suzhi: "Good day to the queen!" ”
"Comrades have worked hard." Nodding, and just about to turn around and leave, one of the guards hurriedly interjected: "Your Majesty, Lady Lily explained, when we see you, please ask our acting lady to greet you, and please go to the mansion to sit more when you have time." ”
Luther's Black Line: "......"
Lin Su turned around inexplicably: "What's the situation?!" ”
Luther coughed dryly, glared at the guard, pulled Lin Shu aside and explained in a low voice, "My mother seems to want to encourage me to pursue you...... Ahem! You don't have to look surprised. In fact, I was surprised to hear her say that. "I originally wanted to pretend to be stupid, but I didn't expect my mother to be superior. He placed the nail directly in the middle of his guard...... He can't just drive people away because of such a trivial matter, right?! There is no choice but to top the black pot by yourself.
Lady Lily is completely unaware of the horrors of the Elven Queen, the other party is not the pure, beautiful and innocent creature of the legend, and the elves are no longer the elves of the past......
"Your mother is so courageous." Lin Shu sighed.
Luther: "......"
"Don't worry, I won't mind." Lin Su patted Luther and comforted: "I'll go to your mother for afternoon tea when I'm free, and she will probably be able to dispel her thoughts after a few more exchanges." ”
Lin Su knew what kind of character she was, she never felt that being insidious and despicable was a bad thing, and she didn't feel that it was wrong and wanted to change. But this character is obviously an outlier in the traditional aristocratic circles, and it must be very unacceptable to Lady Lily...... Since there is no hope. It's better to express your attitude clearly at the beginning, so as not to be annoying with crooked chirps.
Luther was embarrassed. He can't say that his mother is at fault, nor can he say to the elf queen that your personality is really too tangled, and when the other party is so self-aware and his old mother is ill-intentioned, he can only silently crook the building to try to remedy: "Cough! I don't really have to mind too much about this, you know, my mother has always wanted to push me into that position, and connecting me with a wife with a background is the best choice. ”
"It doesn't matter if you're careful, it's for the good of your son. It's better than what she did before......" Lin Su was suddenly stunned in the middle of speaking.
"What?!"
"Day!" Lin Su wanted to slap himself: "I finally thought of what the key was missing!" ”
Luther was puzzled. Lin Shu dragged him and asked, "Let me ask you, how did the demon poison in your mother's hand come from?!" Also, there was a time when I was poisoned by the Light of the Imperial Capital with Arphaed. Who did she arrange for someone to do in the academy?! ”
"I don't know." Luther's face changed: "Could it be that Mother is ...... now?"
"Don't be nervous, she doesn't do anything now." Lin Shu sighed and lowered her voice: "But I doubt that there is something about what she did before...... If I'm not mistaken, the one who teamed up with Lady Lily in the past may have been a necromancer. ”
“!!!”
Luther wanted to faint.
This is no small feat! Not to mention teaming up with a necromancer to assassinate the prince of the imperial family, as Lady Lily's status as the princess, even if she has drunk tea with a necromancer, she may be sentenced to a felony, revoke her nobility, exile, and be beheaded...... Luther's face was pale, and the seriousness of the matter was far beyond his expectations.
I thought that those were all things in the past, but Alfeld didn't pursue it, and the elf queen also turned a blind eye, and everything was over, but I didn't expect the plot to turn around, and what my mother did before still had such serious sequelae.
"Then you ......" Luther hurriedly pulled Lin Shu's arm and opened his mouth to say something, when an unhappy voice sounded outside the door: "Big brother, shouldn't you have gone to the border to patrol now?!" ”
Dissatisfied, Alphad walked in a few steps, and looked at Luther with a look in his eyes that seemed to suspect that he had bad intentions and wanted to dig into his own wall.
"Well, patrol ......" Luther nodded helplessly with a depressed face, and the entanglement in his heart was like being interpolated by someone in the key plot of the TV series...... When is this still patrolling?! Boy, your eldest brother is at the time of his life, can you not eat your own little vinegar first?!
"Since you have a job, let's get busy, anyway, there will be an opportunity to talk slowly in the future." Lin Shu sighed deeply and patted the back of the big hand on his arm to show comfort. She could understand the other party's feelings, but now was really not the right time for a long talk.
Anyway, it's been so many years, and it is estimated that Mrs. Lily will not be exposed for the time being if she waits for a few more days.
Luther thought about it again and again, and finally let go of Lin Su unwillingly: "...... Well, then I'll look for you when I get back from the border. ”
"I'll wait for you." The words are deeply understood by the parties involved......
Yafeyde's face was so black that he could hang it on the wall as a landscape freehand painting - he was still dug up by Luther at the foot of the wall, when did his eldest brother hook up with the crisp? !
Saying goodbye to Luther, Lin Shu dragged Alfeid directly back to the lord's mansion. As the prince of a country, or born to the queen, even if he is a lord, he will be assigned to the richest fiefdom, which is absolutely undoubted, there are people above the family.
But the lord is not easy to be, although Alfeld has the heart to take Lin Su out to go shopping and play in person, but people themselves also have a lot of work to do, and it is already the limit to be able to spare time to pick up people outside, and after returning to the lord's mansion, Alfeid was instantly surrounded by a group of deacon officials, some reported affairs, some applied for approval, and some had documents to sign...... Lin Shu was so emotional that he saw that Alfeld was so submerged that he couldn't even float a bubble, and he finally had an intuitive understanding of the busyness of career-oriented aristocrats.
It's not easy to be a master, it's impossible to say that you don't have anything to do all day long, and you drive a Maserati out to pick up girls, and you're in the mood to accompany the little girl to love and hate...... That's called.
"Crisp ......" Alfeld took a break from his busy schedule in the encirclement of the group of officials: "I'll help you arrange a team of guards......"
"Okay, it's not that you don't know my ability, a little trouble basically can't stop me, and even if you can stop me, it's useless for you to send ten teams of guards, and it's not sure who will protect whom when the time comes." Lin Shu sighed: "You can arrange the room for me, and I'll find someone to play by myself." ”
"Well, as long as you don't go to the border, you can walk around the city." Alfyd breathed a sigh of relief.
This stinginess...... Lin Shu glanced at Alfeld, went out of the lord's mansion, picked the most lively and followed the crowd and began to follow the flow, for more than an hour, I didn't see half of the interesting stalls, and the people of the whole city flocked to the Holy See to find Hirti to receive holy water, and the one who didn't receive it was probably also there, probably to see if it could grind people impatient or kind-hearted or something.
The Holy See's holy water is different from the holy water in Lin Shu's alchemy formula, the latter is a saint-level elixir that can drive away all negative states, and can even pull back the dying who only have one breath left. The former, on the other hand, is just an ordinary potion infused with some light magic elements, and in terms of quality, it can only be ranked as an F grade in Lin Su's potion recipe at most, and the name of the so-called "holy water" is just a name given by the Holy See......
So Lin Su couldn't figure it out, although this kind of holy water does have the effect of expelling the undead, but after all, it is not a high-level elixir, and the light element contained in it is so weak that it can almost be comparable to ordinary healing techniques, in other words, even the lowest-level ordinary undead can resist this thing, unless you collect a jar for others to take a bath, it is impossible to kill any of the undead...... With this little effect, everyone is so fanatical?!
What she didn't know was that people were afraid of death, and asking for holy water was not only to exorcise the spirits of the dead, but also to provide psychological comfort. Although there are many magicians on the otherworldly continent, there are many ordinary people who have never practiced magic at all, especially light magic, practicing this department in the continent not only requires talent, but also needs the certification and authorization of the Holy See, otherwise there is no way to get in touch with those advanced realms.
The fear and disgust of the undead has almost become the instinct of the people of the other continent, as long as there is the slightest possibility, they will never let go of any opportunity and method to exorcise the undead.
It's still early before dark now, and being idle is idle anyway, since the streets have been so disturbed by Hirti that they can't continue to shop, Lin Shu thought about it, and simply dragged a passer-by casually and asked the location of the Bright Holy See in the city. A twist of footsteps...... Let's go, watch the chick go. (To be continued)
