Chapter 748: Follow-up Plans
Trisley walked alone on the snow-white streets of Pinghu Town without an entourage, her beautiful and peerless face hidden in a dusty hooded cloak, and her invisible spiritual power made the sparse pedestrians on the street automatically ignore this lone lady with a graceful back. Holding on to the hilt of the Mithril sword dangling from her waist, she walked undisturbed to the town church, her slender boots leaving a trail of faint footprints on the snow behind her.
The streets of Pinghu Town are neatly planned, the houses are in good order, and every grass and tree, brick and tile here has the style of the Randall family, which is well-planned, neat and orderly, and beautiful and generous. After continuous expansion, the town has become a big city, and when the majestic Randall's Cathedral is topped out, it can officially be renamed Pinghu City.
Will Pinghu City be the first main city built by Victor?
Trisley sighed faintly, retracting her gaze from the snow-capped cathedral.
Pinghu was once one of the most remote towns in the human realm, and now the High Lord and the church leaders believe that she has unlimited potential. Once the Gombis Kingdom's strategy of crossing the river to the south is progressing, relying on the convenience of Rose Harbor, Pinghu City will become the main northern city of the Centaur Hill line, and the children of Victor and Sylvia will be her noblest successors.
If Ant-Man monsters do dig holes and build nests in the ground of the Centaur Hills to breed. The city that has been poured into Victor's efforts has no future to speak of, and even the entire Centaur Hill will wither and die day by day.
Trisley is more concerned about the safety of Sylvia and Victor than the family's painstakingly managed territories and towns, and now all her questions must be answered by Father Miller, the resident priest of Randall's territory.
When Trisley arrived at the church, the townspeople had just finished their morning prayers for the day, and the crowd of black people poured out from inside the church, and she entered the church against the crowd, and then ascended the spiral staircase at the back of the prayer hall to the third floor of the church.
This floor was the rest area for the clergy of the church, and a junior priest with his attendant passed by Trisley, unaware of a strange lady walking towards the room at the end of the hallway.
The oak door creaked open from the inside, and Tracery, without stopping, walked into the room and saw the gray-haired, wrinkled old priest Miller.
This is not the first time she has met Father Miller, the resident priest of Pinghu Town, and Miller has been invited to attend formal banquets held by Silvermoon Manor. Trisley attended the Randall family's dinner and saw this ordinary old priest with an ordinary temperament and ordinary appearance. The impression given to her by the other party is the same as that of several old village chiefs led by Rand, representing the most difficult period for Victor to open up the territory, but their own abilities are lackluster.
Trisley never imagined that this seemingly ordinary old priest would be respected by the two highnesses, Sylvia and Victor. But he hid his identity, and lurked by Victor's side since he was a weak child, which made Trisley extremely annoyed, she took off her hood and asked coldly, "Who is Your Excellency?"
The angry female knight of the Rose Manor is like a beautiful girl, but her angry appearance exudes a chilling and compelling momentum. Miller looked at her with cloudy eyes, and said calmly, "This is not the way a noble lady speaks to an old man...... As you can see, I am the resident priest of the parish of Randall, Second Priest Miller. ”
Trisley was silent for a moment, reluctantly raised her skirt to the other party, curtsied her knees, and said in a cold voice: "I don't care who Your Excellency is, you trick my lover into risking his risk to deal with the Ant-Man monster in the Everfree Forest, if ...... If he doesn't come back, I won't let you go. ”
"What a stubborn child. Fr. Miller smiled and shook his head, turned to pick up the kettle from the stove, poured a cup of hot water for Trisley, and pointed to the stool next to the table, "Sit down, we can talk slowly." ”
The old priest was calm and calm, and Trisley suddenly realized that she was not so angry, and even ashamed of what she had just done.
...... Like an angry and corrupt resentful woman.
She sat down, her white and tender little hands holding the hot teacup, and after a few seconds of silence, she asked, "Can Victor come back safely?"
Miller didn't respond positively, but said, "You lack confidence in the Swordmaster of the Furious Wind?" I know Victor wouldn't think so, but things can always turn out unexpectedly. Ordinary people are often helpless in the face of accidents, but His Royal Highness Randall does not even have the ability to protect himself, and he may have taken accidents into account. ”
Miller picked up his cup, took a sip of hot tea, and continued: "Powerful beings always want to turn the future into the outcome they want, and they often do the same. In fact, the power of His Royal Highness Randall is no worse than that of the Great Prophecy, Randall's Territory, the artificial water conservancy system, and Pinghu Town, these are the best proofs. I watched Victor turn a barren field into a fertile domain, digging canals, cultivating farmland, building castles, fortresses, churches, and then this town. ”
Trisley raised her pale blue eyes and said sharply, "Are you His Majesty the Pope?"
"Apparently not. ”
"You just mentioned the Great Prophecy. Trisley looked the Holy Spirit pastor in the eye and said without flinching.
The Raging Wave Knight was accusing the Holy Spirit Priest of using the Great Prophecy to dominate her lover, and Father Miller felt a little headache, if the subject of the conversation was Sylvia, she would definitely understand the limitations of the Great Prophecy, but Sylvia would not come to meet the Radiant Lord's deity, and he would not want to talk to the Spirit Knight face to face, at least not yet. So he had to deal with a young wife who was angry with others because her husband had run away from home.
"I thought I had just explained that His Highness Randall has his own 'Great Prophecy'......"
Miller muttered, then asked rhetorically, "Well, do you agree that I used the Great Prophecy to make Victor a Raging Wind Swordmaster?"
Trisley was speechless for a moment, if Miller's Great Prophecy sent Victor to the Sanctuary, then no one could oppose him to use the Raging Wind Sword Saint to go to the Everfree Forest to avert the unknown disaster. On the other hand, the Raging Wind Sword Saint was not affected by the Great Prophecy, and went to the Everfree Forest out of his own volition, and had nothing to do with the old priest.
There's no way Tracey can admit the first, so she'll have to acquiesce to the second.
"You're actually blaming me, as a servant of the Most High Lord, why did you put the responsibility of salvation on your lover?" Miller explained with a smile, "Perhaps, you can understand it this way, His Highness Randall is smarter than me, he is the one who makes decisions, I just cooperate with him, and I have done my best." ”
Listening to the old priest's words, Trisley sighed silently, she admitted that Victor was not a lord at the mercy of others, and even Sylvia could not manipulate him, let alone the wrinkled old man in front of her.
"Victor's letter mentions the 'resurrected Old Gods'...... He thought it was a threat to Sylvia. Your Excellency Miller, you must know something, don't you?" asked the Lady of the Angry Waves, holding back her worries and melancholy.
Miller's expression became serious, and he pondered for a long time, and then said, "I still can't understand what His Highness Randall said about the 'revival of the ancient gods'...... The old stump can be broken with new shoots, is it still the original old tree?" After a pause, he continued: "There are infinite changes in the future, and I can't know everything. I see a future without Lady Sylvia...... Great prophecy should not be directed against the Divine Knights, it is not the power of the High Lord. I also can't cast a Great Prophecy spell on the Sun Elves, but is Randall a Sun Elf?"
"I've done everything I can, and the decision is now in the hands of humanity's most powerful transcendent, and I can't see anything clearly...... As for what kind of outcome you want, you have to do it yourself, and you don't have to worry about the Great Prophecy. ”
Miller took a sip of water and said lightly: "The water is not hot anymore, please go back." ”
Trisley got up gracefully, bowed to the Holy Spirit priest, and before leaving the door, she suddenly looked back and asked curiously, "Your Excellency, who are you?"
Miller smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and said, "Have you heard of this...... There's always some 'old monster' hiding in the church?"
Trisley furrowed her beautiful little eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "Who said this?"
“...... Victor said. ”
Trisley leaves Peacelake and goes straight to the Randall family's Hill Castle, where she meets Sylvia in the cave on the second floor.
She wore a white dress and held the stone platform in the middle of the cave with one hand, like a moonlight orchid quietly blooming in the dark night, beautiful and lonely. Trisley's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but step forward to hold her other slender hand, and said softly, "I'm sure Victor will come back." ”
Sylvia smiled, the dark cavern seemed to be much brighter, and she asked softly, "I originally planned for you to stay in Randall and take over Silvermoon Manor...... And now?"
Trisley hesitated slightly, but finally shook her head firmly, hugged Sylvia's arm, and said stubbornly, "I want to be with you, and I will be there wherever you go." ”
"Afraid I'll run to Victor?"
Sylvia kissed Trisley's smooth and full forehead, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "What did the old guy say?"
He babbled as if he had said everything, but he hadn't said anything. Trisley pursed her pink lips and said disdainfully, "He just explained that he didn't control Victor's will, but just fully cooperated." ”
Sylvia nodded, and then asked, "What did Victor write in the letter to make you change your mind and stare at me?"
"The Ant-Man Race is related to the resurrected Old Gods...... Victor believes that the Spirit Knight is a natural enemy of the resurrection of the Old Gods, and he fears that you will irritate the Old Gods and make things spiral out of control. Trisley looked up into Silvia's eyes and said seriously, "I trust my husband too, he is so smart...... Don't go to him, he must have a way to solve the problem, we will wait for him to come back in the centaur hills. ”
With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Sylvia's gaze was as deep and endless as the night sky, and she sighed faintly: "The Endless Forest is the forbidden area in my heart, and there are elves living in it...... Just as Victor feared for my safety, I was afraid that he would be abducted by an elven queen or princess or something and never come back. Therefore, he has to hide it from me first on this expedition......"
"Your Highness is the most beautiful woman in the world, how can an elf queen or princess be compared to Your Highness?" Tracery waved her small fist, raised her chin proudly, and joked, "You have to have confidence in yourself." ”
Sylvia covered her mouth and smiled, and said with a trembling branch, "Of course, Victor will definitely return, and if the elven queen dares to seduce my husband, I will have to kill her." ”
Trisley knew that Sylvia was not joking, and that if she snatched her husband from the Divine Knight, she must be killing herself.
Sylvia changed the subject and asked, "Do you think there's anything special about this place?"
Without waiting for Trisley to answer, she said, "Balance...... I have never seen the phenomenon of four series of elements intersecting in nature in a balanced way, and the intersection is ...... Over here. ”
With a gentle push of her jade hand, the large stone platform immediately split apart, and stones of different shapes were scattered all over the ground.
Trisley's eyes widened, she had no idea that the seemingly intact stone platform was put together, and there was nothing in it, at least her vision and elemental perception were unusual.
Sylvia's slender and graceful index finger dotted on a dot and explained, "The point where the four Void Elements converge in balance happens to be the center of the stone platform. ”
"There are ancient curiosities here...... Taken away by my love. ”
Trisley was surprised and asked, "What ancient curiosity?"
Sylvia shook her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Victor suddenly fell unconscious when he first entered this cave...... Now that I think about it, he didn't deplete his energy because of the awakening of his talent for popularity, but inherited some ancient will. ”
"Will, do you mean the god chose Victor?" asked Trisley eagerly, her pretty little face showing an anxious look.
"The will cannot be equated with living life. Sylvia pondered for a moment and explained, "We set the rules for the family, show the way, and the heirs will follow them a thousand years later, that's our will...... I suspect that Victor's inheritance of the ancient will is older than the time of the Chosen One, a great lost civilization. They can transform people's souls, and the arcane guardians of the Randall family come from this, as well as rock bricks, blue potatoes, gold recovery potions, etc., all of which are masterpieces of ancient civilizations, and they are also inextricably linked to knights. ”
Trisley was stunned and muttered, "Victor turned out to be the inheritor of the ancient knightly civilization...... No wonder he's so good. ”
"Baby, you're getting one thing wrong. Sylvia lifted her beautifully curved chin, her eyes fluttered, and she said proudly: "My love is better than the ancient knights, and the first time I saw my love, I knew that he was extraordinary, and he had the most unique soul, and this uniqueness has never changed." ”
Trisley's heart moved, and she asked, "You mean to say that Victor is not under the influence of the ancient will?"
"Of course. Sylvia smiled and said, "The power of fate may have had an impact on him, but he is the Sword Saint of the Furious Wind, the master of the mind and bloodline, he has a puzzle made of the laws of the world, which is the source of his power, the more he knows, the stronger and more perfect he becomes." This is the path pioneered by His Highness Randall, so he is going to the Everfree Forest, where he will meet the Queen of Ant-Man and the resurrected Old Gods, and he will never be manipulated by Miller or the Ancient Will. ”
Trisley was finally relieved, her face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "We have to do something to help our ...... Victor. ”
Sylvia said with a smile, "Do you guess he left a signpost for the family's backup? Victor must have had a careful plan, and even our reaction was expected by him...... Oh my God, you care so much about your husband that you've lost your sense of proportion, and I'm starting to be jealous of Victor. ”
Trisley swallowed her shyness and said, "I didn't see the plan he made. ”
Sylvia stroked her smooth forehead and groaned, "Little fool, how can you make a comprehensive plan if you don't know the opponent's situation?" But the Raging Wind Sword Saint has already gone to the front, what else do I have to worry about? I, it's Victor's follow-up plan." ”
Trisley blinked and said, "Then you have to connect it too, like the contact information?"
Sylvia's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile of expectation, and she said, "We're going to the Secret Fort in the Skylark Mountains now, I guess, there are many surprises waiting for us." ”
