Chapter XXXVI Transactions
"From the time of this life, I have guarded the Sky Mirror for more than seven hundred years, and I still remember every knight who weaves dreams. And you...... You're the craziest of all and the one most like the Sealer. β
In front of the ruins of the altar, Parisi's huge figure slowly squeezed out of the spherical space, and his compound eyes stared at Yalei, whose face was full of unfinished meaning, and the sound mixed with the chirping of insects gradually became lower:
"Humans who are addicted to battle can easily lose themselves, young knight, remember the fate of the sealer, this is a kind admonition as a caretaker. β
"I'm just keen on power, and I have my own measure. β
The black-haired knight waved his hand disappreciatively, and then glanced at the shattered sky where the gray mist had cleared and the sunlight had penetrated the clouds, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief:
"I've been here long enough, please send me out. β
......
Yongle Palace, reception hall.
Afternoon sunlight pours in through the arched floor-to-ceiling windows of the hall, brightening a classically furnished room, where His Majesty the Vice-Emperor and the black-haired knight sit opposite each other in front of a quaint coffee table.
The green onion tea leaves were soaked in the glass pot, the soup was bright, Alex approached the steamy lid, sniffed the tea fragrance, and nodded with satisfaction:
"That's what tea should taste like. β
"yes, the thicker, the better. Yalei agreed.
"How does it feel to fight the Sealer. His Majesty the Vice Emperor poured half a cup of tea for himself, and then motioned for the other party to take it for himself.
"It was a thrilling fight, but I was beaten from start to finish. β
The black-haired knight poured half a glass for himself. Then he picked up the large coarse porcelain cup in both hands, took a sip, and continued: "Connect with the abilities and titles he uses in battle. This sealer must have the power to manipulate time. β
"It's true from the ontological point of view, but I didn't expect that even a wisp of consciousness can have this kind of power...... This seems to be a little different from what was previously written......"
Alex narrowed his eyes solemnly, and his gaze fell on the light green tea, as if he was deep in thought.
"He can do his fists at the speed of light, and although he is not a physical fist, he is still incredibly powerful, if he were someone else this time. Then now it can only be a ghost who will accompany you to drink tea. Yalei raised his neck and poured the tea, and said with palpitations.
"That's why I've prepared a consolation for you. β
His Majesty the Vice Emperor clapped his hands lightly, and the gate of the palace was immediately pushed open by the Imperial Guard. With the steaming summer breeze, the three tall eunuchs each carried a black wooden box into the room, put down the wooden box and quickly retreated.
Alex took a sip of tea and waited for the stone door to close again. Pointing to the wooden box on the floor:
"Take a look. You'll love it. β
β......β
The black-haired knight walked over in confusion, then opened one of the wooden boxes, took out a thick hardcover book from it, and suddenly widened his eyes when he saw the title:
"The General Outline of the Sword of Summoning Water!Isn't this a water-summoning fighting spirit that claims to be able to completely divide anything, as well as the miraculous effect of removing decaying muscles!?"
Yalei put down the hardcover book in his hand, and couldn't wait to take out another one from the wooden box, and his eyes suddenly almost popped out: "Crimson Dragon Slayer Fighting Qi Compendium! Isn't that the secret of the Inbas family!?"
Soon, he noticed the mark on the underside of the hardcover book - an error-free copy of the classic collector's edition.
"Can this also be pirated?" the black-haired knight looked confused.
"Piracy is always loved and hated. Isn't it?"
His Majesty the Vice-Emperor slowly put down the porcelain cup and put his index finger to his lips. Make a silent and secrecy gesture:
"Any secret always seems fragile in the face of time, and these things are precious enough to make people crazy to the point of desperation, and after more than a thousand years, there will naturally be manuscripts that will be handed down. β
"Is this all piracy?"
Yalei hurriedly dug out all the hard books, and was glad to find that at least two more looked genuine, and he breathed a sigh of relief;
"A little better than I thought. β
"Although it is an infallible version, these secret texts are definitely different from the real thing, and no one kind of vindictive spirit is a constant skill. Whether it's the Sword of Water or the Crimson Dragon Slayer, it will always be modified and improved by the inheritor little by little, but overall, the framework will not change. β
The black-haired knight picked up the three wooden boxes alone as if he had obtained a treasure, and then glanced at the emperor hesitantly:
"Are these for me?"
"There are a total of ten Douqi Secret Texts of different natures here, all from the collection of the Imperial Library, and they are generally priceless, and if the news leaks out, even I will be very embarrassed. β
Alex turned his gaze to Are, and said with a serious expression:
"You only have the right to read, and after you finish reading, send it back to me intact, and you must not leak anything, otherwise you will be a book thief! β
"I will never leak the news, and I will bear all the consequences!" Arei immediately patted his chest and assured.
"In addition to this gift, I have one more thing to give you. β
His Majesty snapped his fingers, and Sylvie immediately handed over a thick pile of papers, and after counting the number of pages, he pushed them to the opposite side of the coffee table:
"This is the contact information of all the underground rebels in the New World. β
"Your Majesty wants me to secretly help these rebels?" the black-haired knight sat back with the wooden box, took the papers, and glanced at Alex.
"How can we sit idly by and watch the brutal aggression of the Freedom Alliance against the local people, and everything these underground organizations do is the desperate cry of the oppressed indigenous people!"
Alex looked into Are's eyes, his ear-length blonde hair moving without the wind, and said solemnly:
"At the most basic level of humanitarianism, we must support their legitimate demands, doesn't Celtic have a military factory? Isn't it because there is no market? I allow you to have private transactions with these underground organizations, and the government will make it easier. β
This is to ask me to smuggle arms. Support the rebellion of those underground organizations!
Presumably in retaliation for the papal state's infiltration of the province of Makmouk...... is worthy of His Majesty the Emperor, and I can say such a righteous and awe-inspiring thing with shameless words, I really still have to learn more.
"Your Majesty is wise. The minister will do his best to complete these deals. The black-haired knight took the document convincingly.
"Those were official statements just now, and I have to tell you a few words in private, these transactions can't see the light of day, you try not to do things in an official capacity, it's all personal behavior out of selfish desires, do you know what I mean?"
"Yes, it's all my personal thoughts. It has nothing to do with His Majesty the Emperor. Yalei nodded heavily, with an awe-inspiring posture of courage to take the blame.
"In return, you can use what you earn. I don't care. β
"Your Majesty is far-sighted and far-sighted, and his subordinates are full of admiration!" the black-haired knight's voice suddenly rose several degrees.
......
As evening approached, the evening sun dimmed. But the temperature has not decreased. Instead, it became more humid and hot, and the security officer on the side of the avenue lowered the brim of his hat, and was listlessly performing his last duty of the day.
Behind him, the Winter Theater had already lit up the waterproof lanterns, the colorful halo reflected the streamers flying in the air, and the musicians of the two columns stood on both sides of the entrance passage, blowing trumpets and beating small drums.
There was only half an hour before the circus show, and gentlemen and ladies in good clothes kept entering the theater gates. The conductor dressed as a bunny girl collects money one by one and gives tickets. Smile and watch them walk into the theater.
Crowds poured through the foyer one after another, filling about half of the auditorium, which was not a bad result for a medium-sized circus of a purely recreational nature.
With the whooshing sound of fireworks, the master of ceremonies walked on the stage to give a welcome speech, and before the words were finished, the clown stumbled to the front desk, a serious gag with the master of ceremonies, and the audience's response gradually became enthusiastic.
"Hahaha! Charlene, look, the master of ceremonies is going crazy with that clown!" Cousin Mariana pushed the green-haired girl who was blinking and confused on the side, covering her lower abdomen with one hand, almost laughing out of breath.
"Haha......"
Charlene opened her worried eyes, she blinked lightly, allowing herself to slowly adjust to the sudden light, and then cast her eyes on the stage in front of her, echoing the dry chuckle twice.
The clown and master of ceremonies left the stage, followed by a wrestling performance by a sled dog and a black cat, and the audience gave the two animals a lot of applause, and the green-haired girl was a little more interested.
After the animal performance, the knife master stood gracefully on the stage and bowed, waved his hand, kissed, pulled the knife from his belt, and let them fly up and down between his fingers.
In the admiration of the audience, he raised his hand confidently, the throwing knife seemed to be connected to his fingertips by an invisible thread, and the swing of each joint was graceful and precise, and the silver arc light streaked through the air, leaving a crashing and vibrating sound in the very center of the target.
Looking at it, Charlene was sleepy again, she leaned back, leaned against the handrail and secretly squinted her eyes, and then was woken up by her excited cousin......
"Hahahaha, look, that silly sled dog is here again!" Mariana exclaimed excitedly.
"I know...... But didn't you already see it yesterday?" the green-haired girl rolled her eyes and looked helplessly at the stageβa sled dog was eating watermelon.
"How enjoyable is it for such a stupid dog to watch once!" replied the cousin eloquently.
Oh my God, spend a hundred soles, come to the Winter Theatre the next day, and you're just here to see that dog? You like that dog so much, wouldn't it be nice to buy it back......
Charlene held her head in her hands, complaining weakly in her heart, and by the way, she became angry with someone.
It's all to blame on that damn guy, talking doesn't count, and he disappeared for three whole days after the debriefing, and now I don't know where to go...... Maybe I'll hook up with that elusive she-fox again!
It must be so, hateful and hateful!
......
The home of the Tudor family, a famous attraction called Fields Manor, is located on the outskirts of Alonidan. Originally part of the royal domain, this beautiful manor house was turned into a Tudor family home in recognition of Archduke Cromwell's contributions.
Aree had no interest in the clear streams, the verdant trees, the blooming flowers, and there was only one thing on his mindβhow to appease Miss Charlene after the meeting.
"Your Excellency, please come with me. β
The courteous butler led the black-haired knight around the leafy woodland, through the shadows of the leaves, and before him was a picturesque sight - wooden balustrades, wooden columns, white paint shimmering, and beautiful maidens leaning over the balustrades, fingers white and slender, round nails glowing with a faint pink.
"You're Charlene's boyfriend?"
The speaker had long hair that shone brighter than the sun, and the breeze blew golden strands of hair flying in the air. The radiant eyes were bluer than the sapphire, and the snow-white skin dulled the silk robe against the background, and the nose and rosy lips were seven or eight points similar to Charlene.
"That's right, it's you, beautiful young lady, who are you?" the black-haired knight glanced at the butler standing aside, and immediately became curious about the identity of the girl in front of him.
The girl, who was somewhat similar to Charlene, suddenly covered her red lips and chuckled with a flowery chuckle: "Hee-hee, Lux, did you hear me, beautiful young lady." β
"Forehead ......"
Yalei refocused his gaze on the giggling girl in front of him, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and suddenly thought that Charlene seemed to have a cousin, and suddenly blurted out:
"You must be Charlene's cousin, Miss Mariana, right?"
"It's not the same as it looks, it's really a talking child. β
The blonde girl looked at the black-haired knight with eyes bent into crescents, and smiled elegantly and coquettishly:
"I'm Charlene's mother, Lady Louvis, and you can call me Lady Lady. I know everything about you and Charlene, and about you bullying my son!"
This...... It's not scientific!
The black-haired knight was suddenly dizzy, then shook his head vigorously and turned his inquiring gaze to the butler: "Mr. Lux, right...... Isn't this young lady really playing a prank?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, Madame Louis is not playing a prank on you, she is indeed the wife of Lord Jonathan, the mistress of the Tudors. The butler replied meticulously.
"The stupid daughter has always complained to me these days that her boyfriend is boring and stupid, except for work and training, and he doesn't understand romance at all...... But my first impression of you is very good. The Duchess looked at him with a smile, as if she were looking at a luxury item of great value, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became.
"I'm sorry, Lady Louvis, Charlene rarely talks to me about the family, so I accidentally mistook the wrong person. He quickly apologized.
"That kid has been withdrawn since he was a child, and he is particularly prone to extreme ......" A faint glow flashed in Levis's eyes, and the hem of her skirt unfolded as she turned, beckoning to the black-haired knight:
"Come in and talk. (To be continued.) )
