While some of his students who had passed the rigors of training and had solid skills later became members of his arcane spelling team, none of them could be called gifted.

It may be true that Galen is said to be complacent about teaching his mediocre students to become skilled users of arcane spells, but he also risks reducing his potential students to mere useful tools.

Some may compare Galen's skills with those of the previous arcane sorcerer.

She taught her basic knowledge of arcane sorcery to Hermes and Prince Silverglow, who were still young at the time, and based on Hermes' own experience, she mostly gently lured her students into lowering their defenses.

She made Hermes and Silverglow skilled and strong arcane spell users, but unfortunately passed away before completing their adult training, and Galen was not yet a arcane spell teacher.

One can't help but wonder how much arcane sorcery knowledge has been settled in with her, and many of the potential of royal magic may also disappear as a result.

That morning, Filin stopped in his room for a moment. The fire had been extinguished, but the sorrow in Filin's heart was stronger than the cold in the room. This empty shell house dwelt a life that was about to be forgotten, and now it seemed even more desolate.

Filmin stood naked, shivering and bathing in cold water, before redressing the wounds on his arms and neck. Although he had not changed the cloth for a long time, the wound appeared to be surprisingly clean and healed quickly.

Filmin put on warm clothing, added a thick warm shirt to a thick leather bolero, put on an equally heavy leather pants, and tied the trousers tightly around the legs with leather thread.

Filin removed his sword, replaced it with a short dagger, and pulled out a small jar of powdered Death's Hat from his equipment. Still, he felt unprotected and had to leave the room stupidly.

Filin walked straight to Hermes' beacon, because Filin knew that he must be waiting for Filin to train with him in the Secret Whisper, but today Filin had to find a way to convince him to let Filin go out and hunt those who were smelted.

Filin quickly climbed the stairs, hoping that the day would pass quickly, for Filin only wanted to ask King Creek for permission to marry Ariana, and the thought of her would cause him to have mixed feelings for unknown reasons.

When he slowed down and thought about all this, it was in vain.

"Ariana. Film's name was called out loudly but softly, and the magic words not only strengthened Film's determination, but also boosted Film's morale. After a while, he stopped and knocked hard.

It wasn't so much that Filin heard Hermes' permission to let Filin in, but that Filin felt it.

Filin pushed the door open and walked into the room, then closed the door behind Filin.

The room seemed very silent, and a cold wind blew in through the open window, and Hermes was seen sitting on the chair in front of the window with his crown on his head, his hands resting idly on the windowsill and looking at the horizon.

His cheeks were red, and the cold wind ruffled his dark hair. Although the wind was not strong and the atmosphere in the room was still quiet and silent, it was as if he had stepped into a tornado.

Hermes's consciousness washed over the film, leading him into his mind, drifting out into the sea with his thoughts and whispers. He led Filin on a vertiginous journey, drifting back and forth on every ship in his heart.

Then people walked into the heart of a merchant captain, "...... If the price is good enough, we will bring some oil back on the way back......"

Then from his heart to the heart of another hurried net-filler, she whipped her cable and grumbled to herself, and the captain at the same time blamed her for her unstaggered hands and feet, and urged her to hasten her work;

Then I found the wife of a helmsman who was worried about giving birth at home, and three families who had gone out early in the morning to collect clams before the high tide covered the riverbed.

It wasn't until Hermes suddenly summoned the people back to their bodies and their places that they came back to their senses.

Like a little boy who was held high by his father to watch the bustling market, he returned to the ground and stood firm, looking at the countless knees and legs in front of him with childish eyes, but he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

Filin walked to the window and stood beside Hermes, only to see him looking out the window at the sea and the horizon in the distance, but Filin suddenly understood why he had gone to great lengths to draw up detailed and accurate maps.

He opened these various lives for Filmin like a priceless treasure in his hand, and he regarded this group of people, that is, his people, as treasures. He wasn't looking out at rocky shores or pastures with fertile soil, but he was cherishing every minute and every second of these people's lives.

This was the kingdom of Hermes, the geographical boundaries of the parchment that enclosed the kingdom's territory, and I shared his doubts as to why anyone would want to harm these people, and I was equally determined not to let another precious life be lost in the raid of the Red Ships.

After the dizziness, the world around him stabilized again, and the scene at the top of the beacon tower was still. Hermes was still looking out the window, and then asked Filin, "So you're going hunting today?"

Filmin nodded, not caring if he understood the meaning of Film's words, and it didn't matter at all. "Yes, the Smelter is closer here than one might expect. ”

"Will you fight them?"

"You told Filin to be prepared, and Filin would try the poison first, but they might not be in a hurry to gobble up poisoned food, and maybe they would want to attack Filin, so I also carried a knife just in case. ”

"It's the same as Film's guess. Let's change it to this!" He held up a sheathed sword from his chair and placed it in Filin's hand, who for a moment just stared at the sword in silence. The leather scabbard is finely carved and the hilt has an elegant and simple master style.

With Hermes's nod and permission, he drew his sword from its sheath in front of him, its body shining, and the sharpness of the sword that had been tempered years ago resurfaced in the ripples of reflection. Fei Lin stretched out his sword and felt its lightness and momentum with his hand, but he always felt that Fei Lin's skills were not worthy of such a delicate sword.

"Filin should give you the sword at the great ceremony, but Filin will give it to you now, lest you not be able to come back alive without it. Filin will take the sword back in Winter and give it to you. ”

Filming retracted his sword into its sheath, then drew it again as if he were inhaling, he had never had anything so finely crafted.

"Filin feels as if he should swear to you with a sword or something. Fei Lin said suddenly.

Hermes laughed, "Your Majesty will undoubtedly need this kind of oath, but Filin feels that since you have sworn allegiance, don't swear to Filin with this sword again." ”

A sense of guilt arose over him, and he summoned up the courage to say to him: "Hermes, Your Highness the Prince, he is on a mission for you today as an assassin!"

Even Hermes was taken aback. "Tell me what to say!" he said thoughtfully.

Filmin thought it was time to get straight up. Filin would still carry out the Assassin's mission today, but Filin was already exhausted.

As you say, he has sworn allegiance to you, and if you give the order, he will continue his mission, but Filin begs you to let Filin be loyal to you in another way. ”

Hermes was silent for a few moments, then sighed with his chin clenched into his fist.

"If you only swear to Filin, he may be able to answer you quickly, but Filin is only the crown prince, and you must make a request to the king, and the same goes for your marriage. ”

The silence in the room became vast and deep, and the distance between people was also extended. Unable to break the silence, he had to wait for Hermes to speak.

"Filin taught you not to give away your dreams, Kaz Silverlight. But if you still can't hide your heart, don't blame others for discovering your secrets. ”

Fei Lin swallowed the anger in his heart. "How much do you know?" Filin asked him coldly.

"Know as little as you can, you can rest assured. I'm good at guarding my inner thoughts, but I'm less able to stop other people's thoughts, especially someone like you who has strong arcane spells but are still unstable, and I don't want to inquire about your ...... Tryst. ”

He fell silent, and he didn't want to speak. Not only was Film's privacy seriously invaded, but what was worse was how Filmin could explain it to Ariana? It was unimaginable! Filmin could no longer bear to cover up another hidden lie with silence between them.

Hermes has always lived up to his name, but I was too careless. Then, very calmly, Hermes continued: "Seriously, he really envies you, boy. If Filmin has a choice, you can get married today.

If Crick refuses you, keep this in mind, and tell the lady in the red dress: when Filin becomes king, you can marry her anytime and anywhere, and he won't let you repeat Filin's mistakes. ”

Fihrin thought that what he had was exactly what Hermes had been deprived of. It's one thing to sympathize with a man who can't choose a wife on his own, but it's another thing to leave your sweetheart and find that the person you care about will never be able to understand the full experience between Filyn and Ariana. It must have been painful to catch a glimpse of what Ariana and Filin had shared with each other, and he would never have had that happiness.

"Hermes, thank you. Filin thanked him.

He glanced at Filin and smiled haggardly.

"Well, that's all. He hesitated.

"Don't think it's a promise, but there's something else that Philin could have figured out.

If you're busy with tasks that are more important to people, you don't have time for them...... Diplomatic envoys. ”

"What kind of mission?" asked Film, cautiously.

"Through the efforts of the shipbuilders, the fleet of the film is getting stronger day by day. ”
