Chapter 14: A Guest from Afar
"Ophelia, I will never agree with this decision!" said the young man at the door. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The golden armor on his body shone brightly, and a broad-bladed long sword behind his back was very eye-catching, if it weren't for Ophelia turning the other party into his brother, Lin Qiu would have thought that this was another high-ranking general of the Judgment Army. The young star's eyes are sword eyebrows, and his appearance once again proves how good the Ophelia family is.
Lin Qiu was referring to the aspect of appearance.
Ophelia's brother looked a little excited: "Father overcame a lot of pressure to convince all the opposing voices and put you in the position of crown prince!
Ophelia did not refute this.
The words I said to Lin Qiu just now were just feelings, but it was very difficult to operate this matter, so Ophelia never revealed her true thoughts to her father.
"Ophelia, how can you say such immature words if you want to become the most famous empress of the Kingdom of Gran in the future?"
The youth spoke two important messages.
The Kingdom of Gran is the name of the Fourth Kingdom, and it is located in the most central part of the Southern Continent, serving as a freight hub from the Kingdom of Talon to the imperial capital, as well as the second pass of Horutia. According to the original king Az-Tris's plan for the territory of Holutia, once the coastal defense line is lost, the knights will establish a second line of defense in the kingdom of Gran.
And the Ewing royal family is the royal family that has ruled the kingdom of Glenn for generations.
The kingdom of Gran held a very high position in Horutia as a military stronghold, and it was currently recognized as one of the great powers.
Lin Qiu and Phoenix stared at the picture of the youth educating their sister in a daze, and Ophelia didn't say a word in the process, not only did she not plan to take down the young man with a sword, but she also put on an appearance of humbly asking for advice.
The sun really came out in the west.
The young man counted a large number of possible effects of Ophelia's negative throne, and then suddenly noticed the patient Lin Qiu on the bed and the mascot Phoenix next to the patient, and his expression was a little apologetic: "I'm really sorry, because I heard such terrible words as soon as I entered the door, so I couldn't help but count a few words of Ophelia...... Hello, I'm Ebel Ewing, Ophelia's older brother. ”
The young man stretched out his hand and introduced himself in a friendly manner, he was personable, and there was no arrogance in him at all.
Hearing this name, Lin Qiu suddenly realized.
In the dossier on the Hundred Years' War, stolen from Albert, the name Ebel appears many times. In fact, if it weren't for Alyssa's brilliance, the war heroes of the same period would have been even more famous than they are now. Ebel was known for his ingenious strategy, and he made countless attempts to win more with less through clever formations, and he contributed to the solidification of the coastal defence.
It's just that Lin Qiu never expected that the tactical wizard with the strange art of war would be a young man with a dignified appearance. He had thought that Ebel was a terrifying being similar to a troll witch doctor.
In terms of legend alone, Ebel and Admiral Alaso belong to the same rank.
"Tyr, you don't mind me calling you by your name, Ophelia often mentions you in her letters. Ebel said with a smile.
He had long wanted to meet the legendary magical Tyre Cyleus.
In Ophelia's letters, it is hard not to surprise that Tyr had broken into the girls' quarters, made trouble in the brothel, and assaulted the dean, but on the other hand, he had thwarted the invasion of spades and defeated the elders of the Assassins' Guild.
When you think he's a hero, he'll surprise you in the next second, and when you think he's just an idle young man, he'll do a series of incredible feats.
This meeting is also very much in line with Lin Qiu's style.
The meeting took place not in the tavern or banquet hall, but in the ward. As a patient, Lin Qiu completed his first meeting with Ebel.
"I've heard a lot of rumors about you, too. Lin Qiu responded to the other party enthusiastically. Ebel seemed to be very sincere, so Lin Qiu rightfully classified him as a friendly NPC camp.
However, Ebel's appearance made Lin Qiu realize a surprising fact.
The confidential file he borrowed from Albert is still on the table in his room, and the unspeakable confidential events on it have probably been read as novels by the maids who tidy up the room, right?
"Brother, why are you here?" Ophelia was a little happy to see that the two were talking happily. Her brother was the person she admired the most except for the 1.0 version of the Sith, and Lin Qiu was the only friend she could make in the Wind Furnace Academy, and the peaceful meeting between the two sides made her breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's not because of you. Although Ebel said this, his voice was doting: "You are about to graduate, I plan to come to the imperial capital to see your situation first." Although you have not returned to the Kingdom of Gran for many years, many stories about you have been passed down through the oral accounts of the merchants, and the people of the Kingdom of Gran are looking forward to your return. ”
"But, I ......"
"No, though, Ophelia. Ebel interrupted her and said, "I met Keno and Judith on the way here, and I heard from them about your decision—whatever choice you make, as long as it is a heartfelt choice, my father and I will support you...... Except, of course, the refusal to take the throne. ”
Invisible chicken soup, the deadliest!
Lin Qiu was stunned by Ebel's chicken soup for the soul, but Ophelia really showed a look of happiness and emotion.
This kid's ability to bluff people has faintly reached his realm!
"Haha, I'm really sorry, because I came from afar, and I also brought some private messages from my father to Ophilia to say that since you are injured, we will not bother you anymore, and when you recover from your injuries, I will definitely give you a grand banquet. Ebel tactfully expressed her intention to leave, Ophelia nodded, and said to Lin Qiu, "Then I will come to visit you tomorrow." ”
With that, Ebel said goodbye politely and left with Ophelia.
For the first time, Lin Qiu felt that he had met an opponent.
"There's a problem, Phoenix, there's a problem here. After the two left, Lin Qiu muttered to Phoenix.
Fortunately, he still has Phoenix with him, and as for Jörmungandr, he has already fallen asleep.
"That's right, this prince is very problematic. ”
Phoenix expressed the same opinion: "From my years of experience, there must be some conspiracy on this prince. ”
"That's right, there is a conspiracy. Lin Qiu agreed, although he didn't know what kind of conspiracy Ebel had with his sister.
"Maybe he wants to destroy the imperial capital. Phoenix speculated nervously.
"yes, maybe he wants to ......"
Lin Qiu found something wrong halfway through speaking: "Don't think that everyone is as violent as you monsters!"
