5. Foothold Chapter 69 The Flower of Ansel and the Female Sword Master
After meeting His Majesty the Fifteenth, Donald had to admit that his impression of him had changed for the better.
Although Celt XV was old and could no longer see the vigor of his youth, the wisdom in his eyes seemed to be able to see through it at a glance.
Speaking of which, the fifteenth is indeed a Ming monarch, but it is a pity that after only a few years of reign, it was rumored that he was physically exhausted due to illness. Now that I have seen with my own eyes, the difference in physical condition that even Donald, who has met for the first time, can see that His Majesty the King is dying for a short time, and I am afraid that it will not last much time.
"Your Majesty!"
Since he had not yet received an official knighthood, Donald could only perform a mage.
Celt XV nodded a little sluggishly.
"It is indeed a rare genius mage, the pillar of the future of the kingdom!"
Donald hurriedly snorted and said, "Your Majesty, you have won the award! ”
"Master Messer is certainly knowledgeable and well-taught, and your talent cannot be ignored, I heard that you took the initiative to choose your current fiefdom, but it has solved a lot of trouble for me, otherwise those lords in the south will make trouble again!" said the old king began to cough violently, and the inner shì beside him hurriedly brushed his back.
"Your Majesty, take a break! Don't get too tired!"
Celt XV stopped coughing, gasped a few times and said: "I have rested enough, and I don't have much time to be awake, while I can still speak, I have to deal with everything that should be dealt with, lest the mess left behind after I leave will be solved by my successor." ”
What the ancients said about being able to achieve enlightenment and see through the world before death is true. Donald knew that this was the case with the old man in front of him, knowing that his time was near, but he did not panic or even go crazy like ordinary people, as if death was as easy as an outing, and the only thing he was worried about was the impact of his death on the situation in the kingdom. This has to be admired.
I heard the old king say again: "I am very grateful that you have single-handedly saved the war situation in the northwest, and the kingdom can no longer change." You deserve the title and title, so I've arranged an extra gift for you as a thank you, I hope you don't refuse!" Donald originally planned to refuse the rewards of gold and silver wealth, but after listening to Celt XV, he couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Because the gift that His Majesty had arranged for him was really in his heart. It can be said that this is also one of the other main purposes for him to come to the royal capital.
The gift given to him by Sert XV was access to the library of the High Mage Tower of the Kingdom Mage Society for three days.
As long as the official mages of the original kingdom come to the mage association, they can enter the mage tower library for free to study for one day, of course, each mage only has this opportunity for the first time, and if they want to enter the association in the future, they must contribute to the association in exchange.
Now that Donald has accepted His Majesty's kindness, he has three more days than other mages, and these three days may not be enough time for other mages, but he can do a lot of things for him!
Although the Kingdom Mage Guild is not directly under the authority of His Majesty the King, according to the contract signed many years ago, the Mage Guild must serve the royal family, "so the power to let a person enter the library of the Mage Tower is still available to Celt XV."
Bidding farewell to His Majesty the King with mixed feelings, and coming out of the palace, Donald met an acquaintance, Ferdinand.
"Ferdinand, why are you here?" Donald realized as soon as he said that he was simply asking too much.
As the commander of the Holy Sword Fortress and the first heir to the Ansel family, Ferdinand is arguably one of the protagonists, and of course he has to attend the banquet held by His Majesty the King for the victory in the northwest.
As for why he was able to enter and leave the palace freely, don't forget the relationship between the Ansel family and the royal family, and his mother was still a princess of a country!
In the surprised look of the guard, Ferdinand familiarly hooked Donald's shoulders and said with a smile: "Of course I'm waiting for you! I will take you to visit the good places in the royal capital, and if you don't go to these good places in Kosovo, you will definitely regret it in the future." 、,
After speaking, without waiting for Donald to object, he pulled him out of the inner palace.
After Donald left, Celt XV in the palace sat up straight with the help of Nei Shi, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of this young mage?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw the light and shadow behind the throne swaying, and a figure seemed to lift the veil, and walked out from the gap between light and shadow.
If Donald was still here, he could tell that this figure had been hiding behind the king using a spell of spatial occlusion. And to be able to unleash such a powerful spell and maintain it for such a long time, then it must be at least the silver rank.
This person was wearing a set of dark mage robes, and he did not wear any seal payment symbols, but he was able to cast spells at will in the palace, and at least a side spell above level 6, so he could guess his identity. You must know that the palace is defended by the Mage Tower.
Just listen to the mysterious mage's reply: "The little guy has a good talent, and the promotion to bronze will be within these two years, if he doesn't go the wrong way, it is very likely that he will be promoted to silver before the age of forty." ”
"Hehe, so my investment can still be rewarded! With this young mage and the teacher behind him in North County, the Macbeth family can't make any big waves, and the orcs are not a threat, but unfortunately I don't know how long that day will last, I can't live anymore!"
Celt XV's sigh was very melancholy, and it was clear that he was not completely indifferent to death.
"I have checked the life potion sent by Edvina's little girl, although the effect is not strong, but it is better than mild, with your current body to take it once a month" can improve the current situation, prolong some life, and should be able to support two more years......!
Before the mysterious words could be finished, Celt XV interrupted him and said: "Two years is enough, if you don't deal with the affairs of the kingdom well, what is the use of living longer? ,...
"It's a pity that your physical condition is because the spirit hún was injured, and the source of life is missing, as if it is a leaky jar, unless it is repaired by a demigod-level artifact, no matter how many potions you take, you can't fill the hole, and you can only alleviate the speed of some life passing. ”
"You don't have to worry about me, the ancestor has promised to condense the body of the Holy Spirit for me, and become the third Holy Spirit of the Celtic royal family after the seventh great-ancestor, although it is borrowed from the practices of those true gods, but in the end it will not harm the interests of the people of Celt, how can it be better than the dissipation of the spirit!" The true God assimilates believers through faith, and then increases his own source, you only use the worship psychology of the people to obtain that little bit of faith power, this path is still flawed in the end, otherwise you will not become the Holy Spirit and will not be able to get out of the north for thousands of years. Unless you still follow the path of believing in God, your strength will never be able to go further!"
"This is the defect of losing the body and becoming a spirit body, not to mention far away, just say myself, it has only been a hundred years, and I have already caught up with the footsteps of your two ancestors, if they do not use the power accumulated in the palace, it is only the strength of the peak of the legend, and neither of them can overwhelm me in strength. Celt XV defended: "At the beginning, the beast god was canonized by the ancestral spirit in one fell swoop, obtained the faith of 80 million orcs, crossed the three major god positions in a row, and became a powerful high-ranking god who was in the limelight for a while, and all the gods were shocked. But with such a powerful strength, isn't it like a dream bubble that will disappear in an instant?" "That's the beast god looking for death himself, no wonder others." If it weren't for the sudden increase in strength and the expansion of its ambitions, if it tried to become the king of the gods and rule and enslave other true gods, it would not have suffered a joint attack from the gods, and the dark gods of the camp would have fallen into the ground, nor would it have ended up being divided by the gods and falling into the godhead, god hún, and god body. ”
"And the situation of your ancestors is different, if your ancestors are willing to hold the throne high, with the accumulation of thousands of years and the love of 300,000 Celtic people, it is easy to cross the new god rank and become a lower god. And unlike the beast gods, the human gods will grow in strength because of the new members joining, and they will definitely stand on your side, stop the blows of other true gods, and successfully let your ancestors complete the creation of the kingdom of gods, and then His Majesty the Seventh and you may ascend to the throne of the gods. ”
Seeing Celt XV was already a little tempted, the mysterious mage had to persuade him further. At this time, a cold snort came from the depths of the palace.
"Colin, you should still pay attention to your own cultivation, I have my own plans for what I do, you don't have to worry about it! I will not go against the ancestral teachings and choose to become a god unless I have to!" Hearing this voice, the mysterious mage named Colin immediately smiled bitterly and stopped talking, while Celt XV bowed his head in the direction from which the voice came.
The top-secret situation in the palace was miles away from the palace, and Donald, who came down the street, certainly did not know about it.
The street is filled with shops selling exotic items.
From the furs of the Northern County to the specialties of the Celtic regions, and even the exotic goods from as far away as the mainland countries and the exquisite ornaments that have been circulated on the southern elven islands, almost anyone who has heard of them can basically buy them here.
Donald and the others were joined by Ferdinand's mother, the Marquise of Ansel, who was also the eldest princess of Edwina, and her sister, the Marquis of Ansel.
This Konilla, Selbaansel, is the second child of the Marquis's wife, and is a real jewel in the palm of the hand for the Ansel's family, which has always been sparsely populated. It is said that when this young lady was born, even His Majesty the King was present to celebrate, which shows how favored she was.
However, in Donald's opinion, this young lady is naïve, kind, and has not developed the bad habit of those aristocratic ladies.
Speaking of this Marquise lady, we have to talk about the identity of her teacher.
Although she has her own family Sword Saint inheritance, and Miss Marquis Ansel herself has shown extraordinary swordsman talent, but helplessly, this young lady's physique and talent are not suitable for her own Sword Saint inheritance. Therefore, the Marquis of Ansel tried his best to find a good teacher for his daughter, who was the other of the two golden sword saints of the kingdom, the female sword saint Abel. @。
