Section 229 Return to Treston
When she went to Treston, Moon Shadow didn't bring too many people, only Shen Bao'er, Phoenix, Lear, and Rhine, because the magic teleportation array had been activated, and she was stuck in the day.
When she walked out of the magic teleportation array, Brigitte and Novad, who had received the news in advance, had been waiting outside for a long time.
"Your Excellency."
Brigitte and Novade stepped forward to salute, and for some reason, the two of them tacitly kept a certain distance.
"Ha, it's been a long time, Brigitte, I've heard Rollaire say that you have run Lu Mingchun well."
Moon Shadow looked at them in amazement, and said strangely, "Aren't you already married?" Why are you so far away? ”
"Ahem......"
Both of them choked and their faces changed dramatically, the difference was that Brigitte's face was red and Novade's face was purple.
Moon Shadow looked amused, shook her head and took out a box: "I was in retreat when you got married, and this gift can be regarded as compensation." ”
"Can I see it?"
Brigitte curious.
"Absolutely."
Moon Shadow nodded.
Brigitte opened the box, and inside was a transparent jade bottle the size of a thumb, with more than a dozen soybean-sized particles faintly visible.
"What is this?"
Brigitte and Novade asked in unison.
"To be precise, this gift is for your future children, and there is its use and effect in the box, remember. Novade. Don't steal your mouth! Moon Shadow made a mysterious look.
Creation Pill, this is according to the ancient recipe refining the elixir, it has the effect of cutting hair and washing the marrow, but it is not as domineering as the Yijin Pill and the marrow washing jade liquid, the only requirement is that the person who takes the pill must take it at birth. Twelve capsules are a pay, and it is not effective for adults.
Brigitte is not skilled in martial arts. Novade's martial arts have also been basically finalized, and after reading the instructions at the bottom of the box, the husband and wife were so moved that they wanted to thank them again.
Moon Shadow stopped: "The business of the Lu Mingchun Hotel is thriving under your auspices, and I should be grateful." ”
That's just the husband and wife.
Leave Lumingchun Hotel. Phoenix asked, "Your Highness, aren't you going back to the temple?" ”
Moon Shadow shook her head, "Phoenix, you go back." From now on, you will be stationed at the temple and defend it. ”
"But my duty is to protect you......" Phoenix frowned and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Moon Shadow: "Phoenix, you see, my safety is absolutely fine, if you really respect me, please obey my orders!" ”
There was a moment of silence. Phoenix bowed slightly: "As you wish." Your Highness. ”
With that, he turned around. It's like a fallen leaf swept up by the autumn wind, silently disappearing from the corner of the street.
"Miss, wouldn't we lose a lot by just letting Phoenix return to the Temple of Life?" Shen Bao'er said with pity.
Moon Shadow shook his head lightly: "The new emperor now has to strike a balance, the Church of Light and the Temple of Life, the two coexist, and they are mutually restrained to ensure that the imperial power is high, Phoenix was originally cultivated by the Temple of Life, and returning to the Temple of Life at this time is also good for them to have more confidence, and there is no shortage of masters in the Hawai Leader now." ”
"That's right."
Shen Bao'er nodded and said in agreement.
Despite the catastrophe, Treston is as prosperous as ever, except that some of the buildings still bear traces of war.
As the bustling crowd moved forward, people consciously flashed a path---- in addition to the two heavily armed puppets, Lear and Rhine, and the mage costume on Lunaris also made them feel awe-inspired.
Walk through the bustling shopping streets, then turn around a quiet street, and finally stop at the Duke's Mansion in the Warren family's land.
After two years of not returning, the mansion seems to be the same as it was, the war has not left any traces on this building, the guards at the door have changed I don't know how many times, I saw a girl in a magician's robe with a maid and two knights dressed as a samurai approaching, the guards looked at them vigilantly, and subconsciously clenched their weapons.
"Miss, they don't know you!" Shen Bao'er said in a low voice.
"It's normal, you go up and report it." Moon Shadow commanded.
After listening to Shen Bao'er's report, the guards glanced at Moon Shadow in surprise, one guard ran into the mansion to report, and the other guards respectfully invited her into the mansion.
Moon Shadow walked into the gate of the Duke's Palace, and was greeted by an old man with a somewhat rickety body, who was none other than Truiy, the head of the Duke's Palace.
Two years is not a long time, it is not a short time, Truiy's clothes are still the same neat, his hair is meticulously combed, but he shows a hint of old age, but he looks much more amiable than before, and there are some old people who are less arrogant.
Truii came to the front and wanted to make a big salute, but Moon Shadow let out a true qi to block him: "Trui, you are so old, I can't afford your big gift." ”
"Lord Earl, you have worked hard all the way, and Madame often talks about you." Truy said respectfully.
"Isn't my father here?" Moon Shadow asked.
"The Earl has gone out, and will be back soon." Trouy replied.
Moon Shadow nodded, along the way, he observed carefully, there seemed to be a lot fewer servants in the mansion than before, Nuoda's mansion gave people a feeling of being too quiet, she didn't ask much, as a supporter of the second prince, it was normal to be excluded, but she didn't expect it to affect so much.
Some of the flowers and trees in the house had obviously not been pruned for a long time, and the stone path was relatively clean, but it was obviously not as clean as before, and several servants passing by recognized the moon shadow and hurriedly saluted. The house has changed a lot in the past two years. Moon Shadow said casually.
Trouy replied cautiously: "Since the eldest prince rebelled, the Duke donated a lot of property to help the second prince quell the rebellion. And some of them are not careful. was taken back by His Majesty the title and fief, and a lot of business was affected, and it is currently a little beyond its means. ”
Leap the pale?
Moon Shadow glanced at Truiy alertly, what is this old guy telling him about this?
Although she provoked the conversation, Moon Shadow was already out of the house. There's no reason to tell yourself this.
Probably sensing the question in Moon Shadow's gaze, Trouy stopped talking. Hanging his head slightly, he walked forward.
Although she has only been in this world for four or five years, Moon Shadow has already identified with the identity of the countess's mother, although at first. There was some resistance to her father, but Count Warren's later actions were quite fatherly, and she was able to accept it. So. At the beginning of the civil strife, she sent her men to pick up her parents and take refuge in Hawai'i.
It's just a pity that Count Warren pays more attention to the family's sense of responsibility and refuses to leave, which is exactly where Moon Shadow is worried...... It is very likely that at some point in the future, her parents will make sacrifices for the good of the family, and she brought Lear and Rhine this time to leave these two puppets with the countess. Keep parents safe.
I haven't arrived at the inner house yet. From a distance, I saw the Countess standing at the door with a smile, dressed in a light blue dress. The skirt swayed slightly in the wind, and the eyes couldn't hide a kind smile, and a faint crystal flickered in the corners of the eyes. The years have left a few marks in the corners of her eyes, but they have not detracted from her beauty in the slightest.
Shen Bao'er had already stopped, Trouyi was even more proficient, he didn't know where to go, the two puppets stood behind him in a dull manner, Moon Shadow was still walking at first, and finally he simply ran, and suddenly threw himself into the arms of the countess: "Mother, I'm back!" ”
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"
The Countess clung to her daughter and seemed to refuse to let go.
Moon Shadow accompanied her mother into the room, and after sitting down, she was almost doing a report on the work of the government, telling all the experiences after arriving at the territory (she hid all the safety risks, so as not to worry the countess), Rao was hiding something, but she still listened to the countess nervous for a while, worried and distressed, and made Moon Shadow simply do a full body examination, lest there be any parts missing.
However, when the mother and daughter talked about it, the Countess skillfully shifted the topic to Moonshadow's lifelong event, and the woman's gossip spirit was brought into full play by the Countess, and finally asked Hefik, who was depressed in her heart: Who was chewing her tongue?
She frowned and deliberately touched her stomach: "Mom, I went out early in the morning, and I didn't eat a bite of food." ”
"Oh, I was negligent, Alice, it's been a long time since you've seen your mother cook a local dish, right? You wait, I'll prepare it for you right away. The Countess said.
Watching the Countess leave, Moon Shadow let out a long breath.
It was not long before the Countess and a few servants came in with a silver tray covered with a silver cover, through which a vague aroma came out.
"Mom, what a good thing, so fragrant!"
Moon Shadow kissed her greedily, and as soon as the plate was lowered, she reached for the cover.
"Be careful, don't burn your hands!" The Countess reminded worriedly. , the Countess asks Moon Shadow if she has a crush, but she vetoes them all.
"Mom, what's the hurry, I'm just 19 years old!" Moon Shadow said with a smile.
"What do you mean to be just 19 years old, many girls are younger than your age, and the children are running all over the ground." The Countess said disapprovingly.
"I ......" Moon Shadow felt powerless.
Fortunately, this conversation did not last long--- not long after eating, Count Warren rushed back, and he was also very happy to see Moon Shadow returning, it was the first time that the father and daughter talked in such a harmonious atmosphere, and the topics went from heaven to earth, and soon talked about the situation on the mainland.
Just when the family was enjoying themselves, a servant came in from outside the door and reported loudly: "Miss, Her Majesty the Queen Mother has summoned you to the palace!" ”
