Chapter Seventy-Two: It's Going to Rain.

Seeing that Hubbert didn't hear it, Dia sighed in her heart.

You can't let the people on your side be bullied and keep silent.

"Ahem, this journey is very interesting, passing through the Troll Forest, where the Treants have prepared a lot of delicious berries for us, and the most natural and sweet spring water under the Mother Tree of the Forest, and as we cross the grassland, we take the Kodo to the Minotaur Bloodhoof tribe to drink and compete with them. “

"Princess Anna, this journey is not as arduous as you think. ”

"It's not as luxurious as in the palace, but it's fun, isn't it?"

"This is something that Your Royal Highness the princess who has been staying in the royal capital all the year round has never experienced it. ”

The Blessing of Nature sigil on Dia's left arm lit up slightly to prove the truth of his words.

Anna naturally didn't recognize this mark, but seeing Roland's slightly shrunken eyes, she didn't question it with interest.

Claire gave him an affirmative look, continue your performance, show your wrists, and don't let them think we're bullies.

"Aside from an evil mage who doesn't know what to do, we don't encounter any danger. ”

"Evil mage?"

"If I'm not mistaken, he's supposed to be called Essogi, but he's now paid the price for his stupidity. Dia slowly picked up her goblet, took a sip of the vintage brown red wine, and said nonchalantly.

Anna and Roland glanced at each other, there are many evil mages in this world, but there is probably only one evil mage named Essogi, that is, the rebel Esogie who was expelled from the mage tower by Archmage Graham because of his research on undead magic!

Roland's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Dia, he had thought that this human child and half-elf were just ordinary adventurers.

But can an ordinary adventurer make Essogie pay the 'price he deserves'? Just kidding, it's a student of Archmage Graham.

As for the truth in his words, the seal of natural blessing will prove everything.

The Blessing of Nature Mark, which he had seen described in ancient books in the Royal Library, had been impressed by it when he thought it was just a boring old scholar who had made up something boring and unrealistic.

What are you kidding, how many forests are there in the garden of the Violet Kingdom, how come I have never found any natural will, can you make up more fake?

Roland never gave these boring scholars a good color, they could not go into battle like soldiers to kill the enemy, defend the kingdom, nor pay food and taxes like farmers, but would only sit in the library and the astrology platform every day, wasting the money given to them by their father, holding a useless magnifying glass and reading those useless rumors.

Useless!

For this reason, he proposed to his father that the funds for the library and astrology be cut again and again.

But today, when he saw with his own eyes the living examples of the natural imprints that were exactly the same as the illustrations in the book, Roland was shocked, especially the young human, who just snapped his fingers lightly.

Five green points of light swirled between his hands, and then under his control, the green points of light changed into water, fire, thunder, wind, and ice.

It's exactly what the book says!

It seems that the old pedants are not entirely useless, Roland thought.

The proud little peacock finally closed her mouth, her smile a little stiffer than ever, and she had to tie a piece of roast meat in half and grind it back and forth on the silver platter.

With a casual glance in her eyes, Dia spotted a painting on the wall.

Under the light of the red sun, the silver heraldic armor on the man's body shimmered silver, and the glittering blonde hair was blown back by the wind, revealing a resolute face and deep eyes.

Dia was speechless, this is Habert before he was disfigured, look at the special effects that sparkle everywhere in the painting, Anna, you are no one.

Is Anna still trembling? Or is it Stockholm syndrome?

Dia turned her head and compared the person in the painting with the real thing -- this is more than a buyer's show and a seller's show! This kind of gap is enough to directly call the complaint number of the consumer association.

Afterwards, Anna did not say anything more to stimulate Avna, the words just now were enough, although there were some small episodes, but it was enough for the princess of the dead country to understand what she meant.

A dinner ended in such a dreary atmosphere.

The maid then led the group to the cleaned room.

At night, Dia had some insomnia, and when he couldn't sleep, he simply got up, his index finger was slightly, and the candles on the wall lit up one after another.

He quietly walked to the window, spread out the curtains with his hands, raised his head, and looked at the night sky.

The thick dark clouds were like a pitch-black tablecloth, covering the stars and moon, and the whole sky was pitch black and without light.

"It's going to rain. ”

......

Click, click.

Roland tilted his head slightly, looking at the lightless night sky, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

"Anna, can you tell me what you think, and what you're going to do next. ”

Anna didn't respond directly, but asked rhetorically.

"What do you think of Hubbard?"

Roland glanced at him and pondered for a moment.

"Strong-willed, loyal, as a knight he is very good. ”

"To be able to escape here from the Iris King thousands of miles away with a drag, there is no doubt that his strength is also very strong, and he can at least rank in the top ten of the Violet Kingdom. ”

"Anna, I know what you mean, but how did he get it right-"

"I only care about the end result, the process doesn't matter. Anna interrupted.

"Oh, you're so confident?" Roland paused, "I don't think you have a good chance of winning, it seems that he is very loyal to Avna, and your chances are slim." ”

"Really?......"

Anna suddenly asked, "Brother, are you interested in a princess of that dead country?" ”

Roland's falling fingers suddenly froze, and after a long time, they fell with a soft click.

Anna smiled.

"From the first time you saw the princess of the dead country, your eyes were always on her, and when you sat down, you looked at her far more than the other three. ”

"It's obvious, isn't it? At least it seems to me. ”

Roland sighed: "Anna, you are very smart and observant, and you can always seize the initiative in conversation, and I sometimes think that if you were a man, maybe you would be my biggest rival on the road to succession." “

"Well, I'll admit, after all, men tend to yearn for good things, and that's understandable. “

"So, do you want to use this as your bargaining chip to negotiate with me?"

"Brother, do we still need to negotiate with each other? ”

"And help myself. ”

"I'll convince the princess of the dead country to marry you for you, and you don't have to pay anything, how about it?" Anna looked at Roland with interest.

"Where did you get your confidence?" Roland wondered.

"Brother, you have considered everything very comprehensively, and you are very suitable to be the king of a country, so my father will choose to hand over the throne to you. ”

"I think I'm inferior to you when it comes to mind, but when it comes to understanding women, you're far inferior to me. ”

"You ask me where I got my confidence, because I know what Avna wants, what she doesn't want, and I can give her what she wants, so I have the confidence to assure you of that. ”

Roland pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I understand, it turns out that you have calculated all this a long time ago, I'm afraid that if I am not here tonight, you will also go and talk to me about this tomorrow." ”

Anna: "It could be someone else, as long as the status is high enough and the power is big enough." “

"But, I always have to pay for convincing others, and you......" she smiled faintly.

Roland shook his head helplessly: "I was used by you again." ”

"But you're not angry, are you?"

"You have to think about it, if she really agrees, she will go from a princess to a princess, and she will be your ......"

"I said, I don't care about the process, I just want the final result, I don't care what she will become, the important thing is that Harbert is enough for me, even if she becomes a princess, does she dare to do anything to me? She is a smart person, she understands that what she has is what I gave her. Besides, isn't there still you, as long as you're still there, she can't make any waves. ”

"Then how do you convince your father?"

Anna has already made a decision.

"My father plans to end the succession ceremony in ten days, and immediately join forces with the Cathedral of Dawn to attack Sgretel, during this period, although you have become the king, but this war is actually secretly commanded and arranged by the father for you, but it doesn't matter, anyway, the final victory and glory belong to you, the purpose is to increase your prestige, so that those who are still careful will completely lose their minds. “

"Although Iris is dead, there are still some loyal generals who are not dead, and have been leading the army to take revenge on Sgretel, if on the day you are crowned king, marry the princess of the dead country of Iris to show our sincerity, I think those generals who are not dead will lead some of the army to join the Violet King, and the father will be happy to see this scene. “

"And with Avna, the princess of the dead country, we can naturally occupy the land of Iris. “

"Is that enough?"

Roland smiled and nodded, "Totally enough." ”

"Tomorrow I will discuss this with my father, and then I will go and talk to Avna, and wait for my good news. Anna waved her hand and returned to her room.

The candle in front of the table flickered slightly, illuminating Roland's pensive face, and after a long time, he suddenly laughed.

"Anna, I have to say that your plan was good, but you were too confident to think about what Hubbert would do after all this happened. ”

After a moment, he paused again as he tapped his fingers on the table.

"No, maybe you've thought about it, but you're confident. ”

Roland's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"I'm looking forward to seeing how it ends. ”
