Volume 2 Pointing the way to the country, Edgeworth is riding the wind. Chapter 121: Starry Night
A gust of wind blew, and the red maple in the sky fell.
It's late autumn, and there's already a little chill in the wind.
But the frost on Alice's pretty face seemed to be more piercing than the late autumn wind.
"I will let the evil spirit king pay for the blood debt!"
Loud words, unwavering tone.
Alice's appearance made Li Yanbei freeze in place for a while.
His eyes widened, and his face was full of horror. Because he really couldn't imagine how terrifying the picture of a principality's crazy revenge must be.
"Your Highness Alice, please think again!"
For a while, his mind was full of the scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, as if he had returned to the bloody battle between the six major sects of the True Cultivation Realm and the Demon Sect!
Thinking of this, Li Yanbei shuddered.
He swallowed hard, then said cautiously
"I heard that this Evil Spirit King is a strong man above the tenth order, and he also has hundreds of thousands of undead warriors under his command, if this really fights, it will not be inferior to starting a kingdom war!"
In her impression, there were no scenes of devastation caused by war, so she also seemed a little unimpressed by the coming war.
I saw her raise her chin, chuckle and say,
"What about the tenth-order powerhouse, do you have to let us swallow our anger and watch the death of our life-saving benefactor?"
Seeing Alice's indifferent appearance, Li Yanbei said anxiously,
"Then you can't ignore millions of people because of one person! You must know that when the war is burning, it is a river of corpses and blood, not to mention that the combat power of the Valley of the Dead is definitely not less than that of a kingdom, does Duke Asammet really want to go to war with it?"
Alice snorted softly, and her pretty face was full of pride.
"The people of our Principality of Assamet have no cowards, and if our benefactor is killed, we will definitely not ignore it, this is the bottom line of our Principality of Assamet! Anyone who touches the bottom line of the principality, even if the corpses are everywhere, even if the blood is flowing like a river, the entire principality will be united and bear the worst consequences together!"
Seeing this stubborn girl, Li Yanbei was speechless for a while.
He wanted to persuade Alice, but he found that he couldn't seem to make the slightest sense.
Because what Alice said was exactly what he had said in the House of Elders.
"You... You stubborn girl......"
Seeing the worried look on Li Yanbei's face, Alice's face eased. She didn't want Li Yanbei to worry too much, so she smiled and said,
"Lord Yizun, please don't worry, we won't send you to death in vain. Father has contacted the Shadows, and their Archdeacon has given us a clear answer that they will join us in the Principality of Assammet in their crusade against the Canyon of the Dead. β
"But ......"
Li Yanbei showed hesitation on his face, and he had been thinking about ways to dissuade this war in his heart.
But after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of any way at all.
"But it's a bit ...... to start a national war just because of one person."
When Alice heard this, she pouted.
She waved her hand impatiently and said,
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. β
Seeing Alice's impatient appearance, Li Yanbei swallowed the words he wanted to blurt out.
He knew that no matter what he said now, this stubborn girl and the Duke of Asammet would not give up easily.
Shaking his head slowly, Li Yanbei let out a long sigh.
"Well, I'll visit your country when I'm done with Hearthstone. The matter of starting a war with the Valley of the Dead, when I arrive, we will consider it in the long run. β
Seeing that Li Yanbei compromised, Alice stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"Okay, then I'll wait at home. β
Li Yanbei shook his head helplessly, and then chuckled.
"I can't help it. β
Alice walked over to Fiona's side and took Fiona's hand.
"Sister Fiona, I'm not by the side of Master Yizun, everything will be in trouble for you, you must take good care of him, I always feel that Gucci will not give up. β
As if infected by Alice's mischievous cuteness, Fiona's cold gaze softened.
She shook Alice's hand tightly, and then whispered in her ear,
"Your Highness, please rest assured, the next time you come, I will definitely give you a complete Viscount Roy. β
"Give it to me?"
The banter in Alice's eyes grew stronger and stronger.
She leaned closer and whispered in Fiona's ear,
"Are you willing?"
As soon as these words came out, Fiona's face suddenly turned crimson.
"You little girl. β
Patted Alice lightly, and the two laughed.
Li Yanbei didn't hear the whispers of the two clearly, and was confused.
"Huh?"
Because of curiosity, he temporarily put the matter of the national war behind him.
I saw Li Yanbei come forward, and then pricked up his ears and said,
"What are you two gods talking mysteriously, why do you have to carry me behind your back?"
Alice scoffed, then raised her chin playfully.
"Secret. β
Li Yanbei blinked.
"Secrets?
Alice stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"Since it's a secret, I can't tell you. β
Li Yanbei was slightly stunned, and then jumped up angrily.
"I'll go! You dead girl! Since you won't tell me, then don't blame me for torture. β
After saying this, Li Yanbei reached out and wanted to pull Alice's pigtails.
And how could Alice let Li Yanbei succeed, I saw her exclaim and move left and right, surrounding Fiona to avoid Li Yanbei's claws.
Although the parting is close at hand, although the road ahead is bleak and I don't know if there will be a time to meet in the future, the three of them temporarily forgot the troubles in front of them, and they are all immersed in this cheerful atmosphere at the moment.
The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.
As the sunset gradually fell into the mountain, the shadow of the three people running around was also stretched longer and longer.
......
The night breeze of late autumn is getting cooler.
The void seemed to be getting higher and higher, and the stars seemed to be getting brighter and brighter.
Under this night sky, the entire Holy Emperor Peak was quiet and comfortable, only the unknown little worm came from the loud cry.
The Holy Emperor's Palace is not as prosperous and lively as imagined, which stems from the fact that the Holy Emperor has a very quiet temperament. And the lights of this holy palace were also extinguished early, and all the attendants fell asleep.
On this Holy Emperor Peak, there is only one attic with candlelight. And the attic here belongs to another owner of the Holy Emperor Peak.
"Erin......
The Holy Emperor looked at the delicate back by the window, his eyes flickering a little.
She spoke slightly, but her tone was unusually hesitant.
"You... Really thought about it?"
Erin stood still, staring at the stars twinkling in the night sky.
"Yes. β
Her beautiful face was covered with silver glow by the cold moon, and her eyes as clear as autumn water also shone with a little soft light.
"I've thought about it. β
At this moment, she seems to be tender like water.
But in the next moment, the words that came out of her mouth were as cold as the cold moon in the sky.
"I'm going to break off my engagement. β
There was a fresh breeze outside the window, and the hair on Erin's forehead was blown twice.
She seemed to be cooled by the slightly chilly autumn wind, and her delicate shoulders trembled slightly.
"Teacher, I'm sorry. β
The soft color in the eyes turned to compassion, which had absolutely nothing to do with the scenery outside the window.
But when she said this, she suddenly remembered someone.
Someone who is extremely important to her.
The scenery outside was still beautiful, but the Holy Emperor had no intention of appreciating it.
Because she was so sad that she treated her students like parents, she really couldn't arouse her interest in anything.
"Alas......"
With a long sigh, the Holy Emperor's eyes were full of sympathy.
She believed that only she knew Erin's mood now, and she also felt the same way that Erin was in the situation at the moment.
After a moment of silence, the Holy Emperor finally spoke.
I saw her lips tremble slightly a few times, and then asked cautiously,
"That Li Yanbei, is it really so good?"
Erin nodded slightly, and her compassionate gaze was instantly replaced by warmth.
It seems that when she hears this name, her heart will be surrounded by warm currents.
After receiving Erin's affirmation, the Holy Emperor's eyes darkened.
She knows that her students are already deeply in love, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out of this life.
After all, his stubborn student is so similar to his former self.
"If you tear up the marriage contract, it will be tantamount to declaring war on the Demon Emperor. β
The Holy Emperor walked slowly to Erin's side and said softly,
"Erin, you know, Gabriel was badly wounded, the Knight of the Round Table was no longer at its peak strength, and the Halberd of Ademar was not intact. If it had been half a year ago, even without the Halberd of Adema, I would have unswervingly supported your decision, but now ......"
Quietly staring at Erin's beautiful face, the Holy Emperor said slowly,
"It's not ripe. β
The Holy Emperor looked at Erin cautiously.
"Erin, can you delay ......?"
"Teacher ......"
Erin bit her lip and said quietly.
"I've never been willful. β
Raising her chin slightly, Erin looked at the brightest star in the sky.
"Please allow me to be willful this time......"
As if attracted by the brilliance of the stars, her gaze suddenly reflected back to a little bit of crystal.
"I really can't allow myself to be someone else's fiancΓ©e for another day. β
Seeing Erin's tender but unusually firm eyes, the Holy Emperor let out a long sigh.
"Alas......"
The Holy Emperor shook his head slowly.
"Why are you ......?"
With a wry smile, she followed Erin's gaze to the star.
"You girl, after all, you still follow my temperament. β
The night is poignant and the autumn breeze is slightly cool.
At some point, the figure of the Holy Emperor disappeared from the attic.
Erin looked at the starry night sky, and her heart seemed to fly into the distance.
She thought back to the bits and pieces with Li Yanbei, and only felt that her thoughts were coming like a tide.
"It seems that this star is not last night, for whom the wind dew and stands for the middle of the night. β
She whispered the poems that Li Yanbei had taught her, and recalled the heart-warming smile in her mind.
Erin couldn't control it for a while, and the little sparkle in her eyes fell like this.
"Yanbei people ......"
Under the night sky, the sobbing shadow adds a bit of poignancy to this beautiful night.
