Chapter 573 Reminder
At the end of February during the windy season, the plains of the three forks of the Brinoll.
Fields of wheat form a spectacular sea of gold, and the monsoon winds blow and the wheat waves surge. Countless farmers wielded sickles and mowed the joy of the harvest in the golden sea. On both sides of the boulevard guarded by jujube trees, two-wheeled light ox carts are parked, and farmers drive the rockers pulled by donkeys to load the harvested wheat onto the ox carts. Ox carts, either unladen or fully loaded, are connected end to end, flowing endlessly on the boulevard.
At this moment, two cavalrymen in shiny scale armor and armed with streamers and spears ran in the distance, and without them shouting orders, the farmers on the side of the road shouted loudly for the ox carts to pull over and give way, and quickly shoveled away the cow dung from the road with their shovels, and the busy and congested road suddenly became empty.
As if given an order, the peasants who were busy in the wheat fields dropped their scythes and ran to the side of the road, and despite the stewards of the farm, they stretched their necks one by one, expectantly and curiously looking in the direction where the cavalry had come.
It wasn't long before a convoy of three ordinary noble vans, two large grid vans, and four supply wagons came at a gallop. The carriage of the first aristocratic carriage is engraved with a silver moon and a nightingale, the carriage in the center has a coat of arms with fangs interlaced, and the last van carriage is a standard carriage of the church, and the livestock pulling the carriage are all tall and strong heavy horses, especially a pair of horses in the middle carriage, the whole body is snow-white and flawless, the body is full and graceful, the pace is steady and powerful, the feet are purple and gold, and the head is equipped with multicolored feathers, which looks divine and noble.
Among the onlookers, there were many people who knew horses, and they were all confused at the moment. These two white horses have traces of crossing, and they are obviously not valuable thoroughbred horses, but they are so beautiful that even the most famous of the Carla thoroughbred horses are overshadowed in front of them, and the difference between the two is like that of a true nobleman and a vassal.
However, the vast majority of people were paying attention to the two columns of cavalry in the arch guard convoy, and to be precise, it was the giant bird under their crotch that attracted everyone's attention.
"Wow, that's a big chicken ......"
"Have you ever seen a chicken this big? Is this a chicken? They're a bird. ”
"Ignorant hillbilly...... Those who can't fly are chickens, and those who can fly are birds. They give people to ride, and they are certainly not birds. ”
"A head that has been sat on by a donkey's ass will never be smart...... Your chickens haven't laid eggs on the roof? You haven't seen these giant birds, how do you know they can't fly?"
"The head that had been caught in the butt of a cow was filled with cow dung...... If these big chickens can fly, why don't they fly in the sky, but on the ground?"
"You're a donkey's butt head!"
"You're a bull's butt head!"
As the convoy moved away, the two peasants who were scolding each other finally got into a fight.
Even though it was a small family caravan, and although there were no nobles in the carriage, the giant strange birds and the soldiers riding the birds were still a novelty. The farmers happily talked about the strange birds as they hurried back to their fields to continue harvesting their crops.
In the middle wagon, Sylvia watched with interest through the curtain of the windows as the peasants took off their hats to the wagon, and then left the road in twos and threes to return to the wheat fields.
"Mortals like to woo the nobility and the clergy, and we understand this as a transcendent attraction trait. ”
She turned her flawless side face, looked at her lover beside her with eyes as blue as the sky, and asked in a coquettish voice, "How does His Royal Highness Randall, a scholar, interpret this phenomenon?"
Victor looked at the sheepskin scroll and said without raising his head: "The organism absorbs the external laws and transforms them into its own laws. Therefore, the consciousness of intelligent beings has an instinctive need to interact with external laws. ”
With a whoosh, the letterhead in his hand disappeared, and His Royal Highness Randall looked up blankly, and saw Sylvia pinching the letterhead, looking at herself with a smile, and her red lips opened lightly, "Is the letterhead better than me?"
The beauty is thin and angry, and there are all kinds of amorous.
Victor's heart was hot, and he reached out and wrapped his hand around Sylvia's slender waist, and explained with a smile: "Intelligent humans have the instinct to collect external information, and in layman's terms, they like to watch the excitement and listen to the news. A person who does not understand external information is called ignorance, ignorance represents low level, like a mammoth, its strength is a hundred times stronger than that of an ordinary hunter, but it does not know what is in front of it and what is behind it, and it will often fall into the trap laid by the hunter and become fat meat to be slaughtered. Therefore, omniscience and omnipotence are the highest signs of the gods, and omniscience should be placed in front of omnipotence. Intelligent beings worship omniscience, and humans are no exception. The nobles and clergy knew more and more comprehensive information than the peasants, and of course they sought after us. On the other hand, what they saw and heard was summarized with the lord, enriching the information and knowledge of the lord, so that he could know who we were, how many people, and a few swift birds passed through his territory without seeing it with our own eyes. ”
Sylvia leaned into Victor's arms and whispered, "Lords know that our people are our eyes, ears, mouths, shields and arrows, but no one can explain it as interestingly and delicately as you. I believe in protecting the family, but it is easy for the Divine Knight to swim in the Elemental Sea, and I don't have a deep understanding of the Guardian Family, so I just follow the experience of my predecessors. Listening to your understanding of the laws of the world, I now understand that I am the family, and the family is me. ”
"My connection to the world has become much stronger...... My dear, it was you who made me unseal a greater power. ”
Kissing Victor on the lips, Sylvia asked tenderly, "My love, in fifteen days, we will stand side by side behind the king and queen." Are you looking forward to it?"
Fifteen days later, Edward and Angelina will be married, and before that, Edward August will officially grant the status of Guardian of the Kingdom of Victor on behalf of Cambys. Since then, Victor has become one of the most powerful people in the kingdom of Cambys. The distribution of interests within the kingdom is still settled by the senators, but the overall foreign policy of the kingdom is entirely determined by the guardians, including wars and explorations, and even the king has no right to oppose the consensus reached by the guardians. Without the support of the Golden Knights, the kingdom could not fight a full-scale war at all.
That is why, in the first place, the Sassan Empire deliberately spread rumors that it was asking to marry Roland August as Queen of Sassang. York and August were obviously suspicious of each other at the time, and the Marquis of Goron also asked Sylvia to discuss countermeasures.
In the absence of a Golden Knight in the royal family, the Guardians can even decide the king's succession, ensuring that the noble bloodline of the kingdom is not severed. If the royal bloodline is indeed unable to recover, the Guardians will fall apart, leading to the end of a dynasty. The golden blood of the Rand royal family was cut off by the Radiant Knights, and the Rand Empire has been supported for more than 400 years, which is the best example.
In a sense, Edward and Angelina's wedding celebration was borrowed from His Royal Highness Randall. Patriarch Tamor personally officiated at their weddings, and the royal highnesses of the kingdoms sent envoys to participate in the celebrations, mainly to congratulate Victor on joining the ranks of his highnesses.
It stands to reason that for such a grand event, Victor should have gone to Blinor City earlier. He was just busy teaching the Centaur Hills Fierce Warriors the Source Blood Secret Method, and it took him more than three months to refine the third set of Source Blood Secret Method, and now he only needed the potion support of Wizard Tofowen to realize a life tenacity talent.
Although there was a delay in time, the problem was not very big. If Victor and Sylvia don't bring their entourage, they can rush from Jinshui City to the royal capital in a day at most, and they will definitely not miss the king's wedding celebration. The Duke of York and the representatives of the vassal families arrived in the city of Blinor a month and a half ahead of schedule. The iron brick samples he carried had already caused quite a stir among the envoys of various countries. Victor took Lilia, Caligula, and a few small attendants to set off with Sylvia, abandoning the dispensable guard of honor and pomp, all the way lightly, it took only 14 days to pass through the town of Longbridge across the West Brinore River, and then along the river north, another 4 days of driving, the majestic city of Brinorr was in sight.
Victor shook his head and said, "I'm looking forward to meeting the Wizard of the Kite Castle more than being in the limelight." ”
Sylvia pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, I am more looking forward to seeing the child in Duke Catherine's womb...... I'm afraid the Auguste family won't let me get close to them. ”
Victor's expression froze, and he smiled dryly: "Honey, I didn't mean that......"
"Didn't you mean that?" Sylvia said with a wink of beautiful eyes, pretending to be aggrieved, "You didn't even mention Catherine and the child in her womb to me...... Don't tell me that you don't miss them at all, you're worried that I'm jealous and don't want me to see them. ”
Victor explained weakly, "I'm not...... I'm just worried about Catherine's embarrassment, I ...... You know, my dear, I would never doubt you, but what would August think, I can't control them, can I?"
Sylvia sneered and said dotingly, "Baby, you're so cute in a hurry." I do think that Kite Castle would rather let me visit Catherine and her daughter than have you meet them. ”
Victor's face changed instantly, and he said angrily: "They dare!"
"If you are reluctant to give up that child, I would not dare to let His Highness Randall and Catherine meet frequently. ”
Victor's face collapsed, and he said unhappily, "Are you reminding me?"
Caressing her lover's face, Sylvia said seriously: "You must recognize the meaning of that child to the Auguste family, and you must also understand the pressure that your power and power have caused to the Auguste family. By following the principle of companionship, it is possible for you to maintain a close bond with Catherine's mother and daughter...... I love, we will have our own child, we will raise him together, teach him, and pamper him...... And as the guardian of Gombis, isn't it great that you are also sheltering Catherine's mother and daughter?"
Victor's expression softened, he took Sylvia's slender hand, frowned and asked, "How do you know that Catherine has a daughter in her belly?"
Sylvia said softly, "It takes 9 months for an average woman to conceive a child, and they can't decide the sex of the child. The high-ranking female knights give birth to offspring for 16 months, and they can decide whether to have a boy or a girl in their wombs. The Wind Golden Bloodline is notoriously difficult to maintain, and in this respect female Tempest Riders have an advantage over men, and it is easier to integrate into the Augustian family. If my guess is correct, your and Catherine's daughter will marry Williams' descendants, and in this way, August will have two noble bloodlines, one king and one guardian. ”
"As for me, I'm sure I'm going to have a son, and he'll be a Legendary-level Earth Knight. Let Trisley and Nicole have a daughter. Sylvia changed her comfortable position and said wistfully.
Victor said unwillingly, "However, most of the tempest paladins of the Testel family are male. ”
"That's because of the Paladin's Mark of Light. Sylvia chuckled, "Don't forget, the Moon Elves respect women. And the Iron Mountain Empire is the pattern of one royal family and four descendants, and the Barcelius royal family is the bloodline of Empress Verrotica, aren't those four descendants all the golden bloodlines of the Sword Saint Draven? Therefore, the Randall family will be countesses in the future, unless they are willing to give up your golden bloodline. ”
Victor sighed and smiled bitterly, "I can't care that far, as long as the Randall family has an heir." ”
Sylvia's eyes lit up, she bit her lip, and took advantage of the situation and said, "Then take care of the immediate ...... For the sake of political stability and inheritance, I would like to advise you to marry Caterina. In the future, you will not only be in charge of the House of York, but you may also have to support the political continuation of the Gambis Empire. In order to avoid inheritance disputes, the union between you and Caterina is very necessary. ”
Victor furrowed his eyebrows and said disapprovingly, "I'll think about it, that's all." But I assure you that I support your arrangements for family succession. Besides, you may not be able to fall before me, I am trying to solve the problem of the Divine Knight's soul being eroded by the Elemental Sea. ”
Sylvia sighed secretly, Victor had an immature side in politics, but in terms of personal feelings, Victor was so fascinated by her.
She raised the parchment letterhead in her hand and changed the subject and asked, "What do you think of Clement's transfer of Lazarus's student Dimick to the position of Bishop of Rangull Harbor in Bory?"
Victor looked at the pile of sheepskin letterheads next to him, thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "I'm really a little worried now, is Clement aware that I have the idea of building a port by the sea?"
