Chapter 8: Kotila
Chapter 8: Kotila
At the Chapel of the Dawn, the Duke's eldest son, Rollin, and his girlfriend, Kotila, are talking with Bishop Jeffman of the church, a meeting room located on the side of the church's main hall.
"I hope that the church can be put on the agenda as soon as possible, where the magic mushroom is a scarce material, the church's share is also a lot after all, the establishment of the branch church is imperative, relying on the soldiers of the dukedom to deal with those hordes of demon donkeys and diggers and bad demons is quite difficult, last month's report also came up, the newly established planting area has lost a lot, and the plantation near the north of the town has also suffered a lot of loss, and the church has an advantage over us to deal with these demonized creatures. β
Bishop Jeffman nodded when he heard this, "Rollin, let's do it, the church will send four knights, two priests, and apprentices will also give you 10, and you will choose one from the paladin guard, as for the establishment of the church, you need to wait until the archbishop returns from the holy city, and you may also know recently that the Black Rain Swamp in the west and the Demon Fall Canyon in the south of Bayonet Mountain are a little abnormal, and the church needs to divide a lot of strength." β
Rollin nodded, Ketila's eyes narrowed slightly, and Rollin's clothes tightened, Rollin glanced at her, and said to the bishop: "Bishop Jeffman, then I will take my leave first." β
Jeffman nodded, Rollin raised his foot and prepared to leave again, turned back to Bishop Jeffman and said: "Bishop Jeffman, my fourth brother Yuri has recovered, I hope you can check him again when you are free, I don't want to leave any sequelae or anything." β
Jeffman said, "Okay, I'll go to the Duke's Palace in a few days." Rollin nodded and left the church with Kotila, Bishop Jeffman watched the two leave, but his eyes kept staring at Kotila's graceful back, his expression became a little solemn, and after seeing the two out of sight, he turned to the priest standing next to him and said, "Prepare to believe in the eagle!" The priest bowed and left.
Jeffman turned to stare at the direction where the two of them left and muttered: "Very pure demonic energy, very clever means, it is so well hidden, if it weren't for the holy emblem left by the archbishop, I really wouldn't have found you," After speaking, a ring pendant inlaid with a silver cross star was revealed from the wide priest's robe, and the tip of the doji pointer hanging in the middle glowed red, and the entire doji pointer also trembled and levitated, pointing to the direction where Rollin and the two left, as the two gradually walked away, the pointer slowly calmed down, and the red light gradually faded, and Jeffman put away the badge and walked towards the interior of the church.
"My dear," a gentle voice came from behind Rollin, Rollin looked back at Kotila with a smile, and said with love in his eyes, "Are you tired?"
Kottilla's eyes stared at Rollin, and an imperceptible red light flashed away, and a trace of confusion flashed in Rollin's eyes. Kotila shook her head lightly and said: "I'm fine, it's just that I've been a little uncomfortable since I went out today, I guess it'll be fine when I go back to rest, your affairs are important, don't worry about me, I heard those maids say that Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess came to the dukedom yesterday, I don't know if you can take me to get to know it?"
Luo Lin still looked at Kotila with a smile and said: "Of course you can, I was going to take you there, my father is not in the territory, and the matter of entertaining Her Majesty the Queen will fall on me, tonight the Duke's Palace will hold a banquet to entertain the Queen and the eldest princess, and you will come together at that time, the Queen is my aunt, she has a good temper, and she is very good to our brothers, I believe she will like you, Rustel is the same age as you, and has a quirky personality, but he is also very kind, and I also believe that you will become good friends." "Hmm!" Kotila tightened her grip on Rollin's hand with a little excitement, and Rollin smiled, and the two stepped onto the carriage waiting outside the church.
When Rustle returned to the manor, she saw Queen Molella, "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, do you know what I saw today? Yuri seems to be a different person! It's not like the stinky fart she used to be, and her skills have become more powerful, and..." Rustle hurriedly covered her mouth, and Morera's eyes stared at Rustle, "Hmm? Say, why didn't you say it? What do you see?"
Rustel looked at his mother, and his expression suddenly fell, "Queen Mother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have gone out with Yuri, and I went to a place like the arena, and I won't go there again." β
Moraira slowly raised her right hand, Rustel shrank her head in fright and waited for the punishment to come, but after waiting for a while, the slap did not fall, Rustel quietly raised her head, looked down at her mother, but saw that there was a crystal ball with a diameter of 30 cm suspended in her mother's hand, and there were bursts of light and shadow flashing inside, which was the scene that she and Yuri encountered in the arena, "You seem to have forgotten that your mother is not only a queen, but also a great wizard, my daughter."
Even if I don't use these means, I can guess that you must have gone to find Yuri when you go out in the morning, okay, I won't punish you this time, and I don't have anything to worry about if you follow Yuri, but you must listen to Yuri when you go out. When Hasdel heard this, she immediately cheered and jumped to her feet!"Long live the Queen Mother!"
"Sit down!" said a slap on Rustle's head, who clasped his hands over his head and whispered, "Yes, Queen Mother." β
Moraira continued: "And I have to write down Yuri's recent changes, and come back and tell me that this kid's accident this time is definitely not that simple, and the shadow technique is not omnipotent after all." β
Rustel nodded violently, and said with deep disapproval: "Yes, this kid must have had an adventure, or he is apprenticed, otherwise where did he learn so many strange martial arts, and his personality has changed a lot, it's really a little different from before!"
"Hehe, everyone has their own circumstances, don't be envious, I let you pay attention not only to these, but also to all the people and things that happened to him, remember?"
"And, look at what you're wearing? Hurry up and change your clothes, tonight your cousin Luo Lin is holding a banquet in the Duke's Palace, you dress me like a normal girl, you are the eldest princess, and I heard your aunt say that Luo Lin is ready to get engaged, it seems that the girl is the widow of the Black Thorn family, hehe, this Black Thorn family was famous for its abundance of beauties in the empire, thinking that this Miss Black Thorn can be so favored by Luo Lin, it must be extraordinary. Hearing this, Rasdel pouted and muttered, "Hmph, unknown guy!" Molera chuckled when she heard this, "I know you admired your Cousin Rollin when you were a child, do you still think about him now?" β
"That's! of course!" Rustel raised her head. "Manners!" "Smack!" "Whew...... Yes"
In the evening, the banquet hall of the Duke's Palace is already brilliantly lit, in the banquet hall, a huge gold-encrusted jade case is placed horizontally in the center of the main hall, the same gold-inlaid high-backed chairs stand on both sides of the jade case, the huge chandelier made of natural crystal and magic diamonds hangs down from the dome and shines with a gentle and brilliant light, on both sides of the waiter is busy, some on the jade table is placed on the jade table with exquisite silver plates and knives and forks, and some are shrouded in transparent crystal cover on the jade case like exquisite art of food and wine, the embellished jade case seems to become a mountain made of gemstonesγ
At the door of the banquet hall, Luo Lin was waiting with Ketila, the butler and a group of servants, Ke Ti pulled Luo Lin's sleeve and said, "Luo Lin, what should I say when I see Her Majesty the Queen in a while?" Luo Lin was slightly surprised, and then patted Ketila's hand and said: "Don't worry, she is the queen and my aunt, she is very easy-going, you can just keep a good smile, maybe she will give you a meeting gift!" "Yes?" Then I am looking forward to it, hoping to leave a good impression on her," Ketila said a little crampedly, "Don't worry!" Rollin replied. After saying that, Rollin turned his head to face the corridor outside, and Ketcilla's eyes flashed with anxiety at this time, and she touched the hair on her forehead.
In less than five minutes, Khotilla saw a group of people at the end of the corridor slowly approaching, led by a handsome silver-haired young man in a black gown, followed by a gorgeous woman in a graceful court dress and a delicate crown, and behind the woman was a girl in a topaz-colored gown and a crystal crown on her head.
Kotila's eyes swept over the young man at the head, and finally her eyes fell on the beautiful lady of the palace, and her body couldn't help but take a step back, and then Luo Lin took the initiative to greet him, "Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time" After speaking, she gave a kiss to the hand, and Morella nodded and said: "I haven't seen you for five years, I have matured a lot, and I can share a lot of things with your father, unlike your cousin, who is still a hairy child, I don't understand anything, and I think about how to play all day long, if I don't watch it strictly, I don't know what it would be like to be crazy." "Auntie, Rustle is called lively, girls are cute when they are lively, and they will be stupid if they don't come out of the palace all day long." "Okay, you don't have to speak for her, I'm relieved that she can be half as obedient as you." Rustel stuck out her tongue to the side.
Luo Lin walked up to the tall young man, stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder and said, "It seems that you are recovering well, when you first came back a few days ago, you were not so energetic." Yuri laughed, "You don't look at who I'm afraid of, what is this little injury?" Yuri imitated his previous personality and continued: "Hey, big brother, I heard that you are going to get engaged? Does your father know about this?" Luo Lin was a little embarrassed and said: "I was about to tell my father, but you also know my father's temper, you have to help me when the time comes," Yuri shook his head speechlessly.
