Selinda wore the green dress that Li Jia gave her and walked in the courtyard of the small castle. On her white neck hangs a statue of Guanyin wearing a red rope, which complements the emerald earrings. A belt embellished with sapphires was tied around the waist, making the already bumpy figure even more erect. This slightly plain dress has been matched by herself, coupled with long dark red hair, adding nobility to her youth and looking very charming.

But her face was not pretty, and with a book in her hand, she walked without saying a word to the main building where the count was, and the maid Nina followed her step by step.

Nina looked like she wanted to say something, and when she was about to approach the main building, she took two quick steps, leaned into Selinda's ear, and whispered, "Miss, you ...... You wore the clothes that Li Jia gave you to see the master. Isn't that appropriate?, and the chain that your mother left you......"

Selinda stopped, turned her head to look at Nina, her eyes seemed calm, but contained some strange emotions, she lowered her face and said: "What kind of clothes I wear, I don't need you to remind me, and I don't have to make do with him." ”

Nina quickly lowered her head and took a step back: "However, I heard that the old man was very angry after waking up, and he kept cursing the people in that magician castle. If you see you wearing their clothes......"

Selinda snorted, flicked her skirt, and stepped up the wide staircase in front of the main building, "My status is not earned by playing a good girl, but by the power I have. That man...... He doesn't have the right to look at me unpleasantly. ”

"You're still his daughter after all, otherwise you wouldn't be in such a hurry to find out the details of the magic castle. ”

"You are becoming more and more lawless, do not squander my kindness. Selinda said in a deep voice, "Never come to guess what I think, let alone say it." ”

"Yes, yes, miss. Nina was so frightened that her face turned a little white.

"Also, you remember, everything I did was not for that drunken guy at all, but for the benefit of the family for a hundred years. ”

When Selinda walked to the door of the earl's room, she met Pinto, who was guarding the door, and when Pinto saw her, he hurriedly knocked the door a few times and said loudly: "Lord Earl, Miss Selinda is here." ”

Celinda saw that Pinto didn't mean to open the door for her immediately, but stood in front of the door and smiled at her, so she pushed him to the side with a flick of her hand, pushed the door open and walked in.

The Count reclined on the back of the bed with a wine glass in his hand, and a maid was serving him breakfast. She glanced at the maid's crooked button, and sneered, "You haven't even had time to open your wine bottle, why are you holding your empty glass so high?"

"Hah, my little Selinda is back. You're a great fit today. How about I ask Pinto to make a batch and sell it in the store in Wangdu?"

"What else do you have in your head besides women and gold?" said Selinda angrily.

"And you, my child. And you're the most important part! I heard last night that you're back safely. If it weren't for the inconvenience of your legs, I'd be here to greet you. The Count was not at all embarrassed, and put the cup on the tray at the head of the bed, and slapped the maid on the buttocks, and the maid laughed and withdrew.

"I think you're very alive. Selinda didn't want to dwell on him over the, so she kicked Nina out, then closed the door, threw the book in her hand on his bed, and said, "Look, that's what I got from those people." ”

"Magical text?" The Count was a little surprised when he got the book, he hastily flipped a few pages, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a writing style, and there is no magic." Don't the great nobles and the great magicians like to collect books written in magic script? Well, I know these words: "Advanced Mathematics". I understand the meaning of high, that is, very advanced things. But what does math mean? Well, I can't read the stuff in the book, but there's no need to worry too much, right?"

Selinda lowered her voice and said, "I know every word in this, but when put together, I don't know what it's talking about, I've never seen a magic book like this." And the words don't look like they're copied, they're all the same thing! Have you ever seen a book so well made? What's more, they have a house bigger than the main building of this castle, full of books!"

This time the Count sat up, "How many?"

"According to the people I spoke to, there were more than three million ......"

"Selinda, don't joke with your father!" the Count jumped out of bed at the number, and walked up to her quickly, "There are not so many books in the whole king!"

"I was also amazed and thought that the place was so terrifying. Still, there must not be so much now, and before I came back, I set a fire with the scroll...... , I saw it on the road, and the sky was burned red. ”

"What? these are priceless! We should not destroy them, but take them! You are too reckless!" the Count grabbed her by the arm, but she bounced away with a slight blow.

"You're still asleep while I'm listening! If they're really strong, we won't have a chance to take these books. I just seized an opportunity for them to slack off and strike at a potential enemy, or friend?"

"You set fire to it without even distinguishing between friend and foe?" said the Earl, angrily.

"Isn't it as important to weaken a friend as it is to weaken an enemy? besides, they don't know who I am, and we of the Arias family can still contact them, maybe they are worried about being attacked, but they lack eyes and ears, and they wish to be our friends!"

"No, no, no, you're still too young, Selinda. The Earl paced the room with his chin in his hand, and after a while he said, "If those men are strong enough, your little tricks will be of no use and will get us in trouble." If those people are actually paper tigers, then it won't be too difficult to snatch the rest of the book. ”

"I ...... I don't think I've done anything wrong. Selinda argued.

"It's nothing, you're just scared. It's like a little girl screaming and throwing slippers at a spider. ”

This time Selinda didn't speak, and she still hasn't figured out why she set fire to her head when she was hot. I don't know why when I think of Li Jia now, my heart has a feeling of being blocked.

"You don't care about this matter, let's go back to the royal capital first. I'll have someone bring a message to Cadiz. The Count decided.

Selinda didn't know why her father, who usually only knew how to drink all day, suddenly became serious, which made her emotions ease a little, and she said with some disdain: "Cadiz has degenerated into a savage horse thief over the years, aren't you afraid that he will really mess things up?"

"Cadiz has nothing to do with me, and I have never been, and will not, directly instruct him to conflict with the magician. However, a horse thief has the temperament of a horse thief, and what Cadiz will eventually do is clearly written in his fate. What's more, he's more measured than you, he's a sinister head wolf. And you, haha, are just a reckless bear. The Count shook his head and laughed.

Selinda suddenly felt angry, she picked up the book on the bed, grabbed the door and left. The count's laughter came from behind him, "Little Selinda, I don't think your clothes look good, maybe you should sew a few bows on your back!haha!"

————————————————————————

Deep in a valley some distance from the school, there is a small, nondescript village. A man stood motionless in front of a stone house, if Xiao Chen was here, he would definitely recognize it, this was Scarface Path, who had troubled them more than once.

Path, who was very arrogant and domineering at the time, seemed very nervous and cramped at this time. He had changed into the peasant's outfit he had worn in Floro, and instead wore a quaint black robe. The robe reflected his very pale face, large drops of sweat oozed from his forehead, and the long scar was twisted by the slight twitching of his muscles. His eyes were closed, and his mouth was silently reciting unknown scriptures.

The door of the stone house in front of him suddenly opened, and a very burly middle-aged man, wearing the same black robe, walked out of it. He said to Paz in the voice of Gujing Bubo, "The high priest wants to see you, come with me." ”

Path's face turned a little pale, and he saluted in a panic, and followed the middle-aged man into the room.

The room was just the entrance to the dungeon, and inside it was a long, complicated passage, and from time to time there would be figures in the same black robes passing by them, but Paz did not squint, but walked with his head down. They walked lower and lower, deeper and deeper, and after a long time, they finally came to the door of a large stone house, and before the middle-aged man could speak, the door opened by itself, and a powerful and deep voice came from inside: "Path, come in." ”

Paz hurriedly entered the room, this is a conference hall, the room is very empty, only a long table and chair are placed in the middle, a young man in black clothes, sitting in the farthest place, is faintly looking at Paz standing at the end of the table, trembling slightly.

The young man had silver hair and a pair of silver eyes, just like the black clothes with silver trim on his body, calm and majestic. He looks very handsome, but handsome and difficult to describe his temperament, there is an inexplicable power emanating from him, which makes people want to bow down. He asked solemnly: "We were just trying to provoke some contradictions about the anti-tax riots, and whatever the result is, we can accept any kind of result." But what about those outsiders who came down from the sky?"

Paz didn't dare to slack off, and poured out everything he knew. After finishing speaking, he found that he was dizzy, and he suddenly realized that the words in front of him were like a dream, completely out of his control, and all the thoughts in his heart were confided. The young man nodded and said, "Very well, you are telling the truth." These people are interesting, maybe they are the opportunities mentioned in the ancient oracles. ”

When he saw Paz standing there for no apparent reason, he said, "Many years have passed since the true gods fell to the world and the false gods sat on the throne of the sky. We, the followers of the true God, have made countless efforts to bring the true God back to God, but we have all failed. Because the power of false gods is too strong for us 'people' to fight. However, the true God seems to have foreseen their chance of resurrection before the fall and made arrangements. We are too ignorant to understand their true meaning, so we must seize every possibility that can be tried. ”

Paz had never heard of such a secret, and was completely stunned by what to do.

The young man smiled: "It seems that I still talk too much, then you can forget." ”

Paz's eyes were suddenly confused for a moment, and then he said yes.

"Go! I'll keep an eye on them. The young man touched his left shoulder with his right fist, performed a courtesy, and said, "Where the sword goes, the beginning of the journey." ”

"The order is not over, the fight is not over!" Paz replied loudly with a fist on his shoulder.
