Preface Wang Du (II)

On a hill outside the royal capital, Asa looked down at the familiar continuous buildings not far below, and he was in a trance, so many things that had happened here couldn't help but flash through his mind one by one, too chaotic, too complicated, too intense, he couldn't even give a fixed definition of the feeling that was stirring strongly in his heart.

"Okay, we're breaking up here. Yabin's voice pulled him back. "We're going south from here. Please take care, there will be a period later. ”

Sister Ai Yimei bowed to Asa and said, "Thank you, big brother Asa." It was only because of your help that I was able to recover this time, and it was all thanks to you that we were able to survive safely, and I will always remember your great kindness..."She paused, hesitated, and blushed. “... If you have time in the future, please come to the Tower of Teeth. ”

"Okay, if you have time. I'll be free in about fifty days," Asa smiled wryly and nodded to the two siblings. In fact, he didn't know if it was true that everything would be fine after fifty days, and this final task might not be easier than the previous ones.

When he returned to Orfo that day, Cedros retrieved the mental magic that had remained in his brain and used it to heal his sister Aimei. But contrary to Cedros's expectations, Yabin and Aimei insisted on not joining Oufu for this purpose. Although they also knew the truth, they were resolutely reluctant to help the Orcs and Celestes fight, and only reluctantly responded to the ambush of the Templars. Their reason for rejecting Cedros was simple, and there was absolutely no room for tossing and turning: even if they died at the hands of a cardinal. Their grandfather would never allow them to fight with the Holy See. So after a brief stay at Oufu, they left with Asa and turned south towards the Tower of the Tooth. It was the last peaceful place on the continent for a while, away from the chaos and chaos of war.

Unbeknownst to the two siblings, they had already gone for a walk around the ghost gate when they refused Cedros' request. Cedlos wouldn't let two people who had no intention of helping him but knew too much about leaving Ofo. But in the end, Asa secretly persuaded him, saying that maybe they would have a chance to help in the future, so that the two siblings could leave smoothly.

The two siblings still offered to help Asa on his mission in the royal capital, but Asa refused. This mission is not something that can be solved by fighting, killing, and people who don't know the inside story will not only not be able to help anything, but may also drag it down. So he also refused Hilton's request to come with him. Let him go to Tetaria.

"I'm sure this little girl actually likes you. It's a shame you had the opportunity to sleep with her. Pure virgin, that's a rare good thing, and I bet she's absolutely willing, as long as you don't do it in a stupid way. Looking at the backs of the two siblings leaving, Jessica said suddenly. Hearing this, Asa's vest broke out in a cold sweat.

"Even your thoughts and every word reveal the smell of rotten evil, and this dark depravity comes from the depths of the soul. It's hopeless. Lua's face was full of disgust. In order not to be too conspicuous, she wore a large hat with elven pointed ears and silver hair that covered it, and her face was painted with a potion that turned her complexion yellow, and she was slender and delicate in the ordinary clothes of an ordinary traveler, but even this ordinary dress could not hide her somewhat excessive delicate beauty.

Jessica's voice chuckled sharply: "Oh, you don't have to be so deliberate, you're hiding your own inner thoughts." Childishly pointy-eared little white rabbit. Don't be so sensitive every time I talk to him about this kind of art, it's just exposing yourself to being overly repressed. ”

Asa only felt a headache. In fact, it's been the same all the way through. The two elves looked at each other extremely unpleasantly, and attacking each other with their mouths was already a very gentle way, and at least three or four times along the way, the two of them actually got into action.

"It seems that Marfa was so merciful in sending you into the darkness to let you live underground, you should go and live with the rats and bugs in the gutter, and talk to the maggots about your rotten and evil ......" Lua glared at Jessica, her face flushed before she spoke... Wicked art. ”

The black elf just smiled. "It's a pity that I know that your Marfa has never said that ** is evil." Where did you come from without that wonderful act? Little girl, you are also the crystallization of what you call evil, not to mention that your mother gave birth to you alone. Oh, by the way, I heard you came out of the weird woods of the Whispering Forest, so you probably don't even know who your parents are, it's pathetic. ”

"The friendship between our noble elves is indistinguishable from each other, we are a whole whole, how can a filthy and lowly creature like you understand our noble culture that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. ”

I said. Can you two give me a day or two to be quiet?" Asa only felt a bigger pain in his head. He really didn't expect that these two people walking together would be such a consequence. But it seems that there is no way. This time the elves migrated back to the Whispering Forest, and Elder Lloyd decided that a consensus and alliance with Einfast must be formed first. That's why she sent Lua to the royal capital of Ainfast with Asa and asked Asa to help her arrange negotiations with Prime Minister Mrak, the head of the Roland regiment. Elder Lloyd and the other elves were busy preparing for the Great Migration.

It can be seen that Elder Lloyd deliberately wanted to train Lua to be the leader of the elven race, so that she came to the royal capital alone to negotiate and contact with the upper echelons of human society.

In fact, Asa originally wanted to return to the royal capital alone to solve these matters, but because of Elder Lloyd's request, he had to bring Lua, and finally hesitated and did not refuse to follow Jessica. If it is to be hidden, detected and assassinated in the royal capital, the black elves can still have a considerable effect. Although he also knew that there must be friction between the two of them, he thought that the problem should not be big. It was only then that he realized he was wrong.

Women are always incomprehensibly animals...... The only thing that is more of a headache than a noisy woman is that there are two such women......

Asa suddenly remembered these words he had heard in the tavern when he was a child, and he had thought that these things should have nothing to do with him, but now he realized that they were incomparably incisive.

"Noble culture, self-righteous little fellow, don't you know that you have suppressed yourself for too long?" Jessica spat disdainfully, and said loudly as if she had told someone a great secret, "Do you want me to tell you the truth about your constant troubles with me along the way?" You actually like this man very much, and you actually hope that he can gallop on your body and squeeze your delicate limbs. Entanglement, impact...... But out of your self-righteous repression. You bury these impulses in your heart. And my direct and frank words keep sending these contents into your little head, constantly stimulating your suppressed desires, as stimulating as being touched by his gentle and powerful fingers on the top of your most sensitive little breasts..."

"Shut up. Asa and Lua shouted at the same time, but Lua's voice was much higher.

"How's it going? Do you feel the wonderful feeling of being poked in the spot?" Jessica ignored Asa at all, pointing to Lua, whose face was flushed with even the potion of disfigurement, and laughed sharply and sharply: "I said yes." ”

"I will judge you in the name of Marfa and send your filthy soul into the land with your mouth. Lua's face was completely distorted by anger and shame. He drew the sword he was wearing and recited the incantation.

"I'm giving you this advice for the third time, don't show your weapons to the black elves. Jessica also drew her pair of poisonous daggers without showing weakness, licked her tongue and sneered: "I might as well tell you that dismembering the surface elves is one of the highest arts popular in my hometown......"

"Die to atone for your sins. Lua rushed at Jessica.

Jessica was about to move her steps, but she almost stumbled, and then she realized that the weeds under her feet had unconsciously become as thick as strings, and silently wrapped around her feet like snakes.

Lua's movements are by no means fast or sharp, but there is absolutely no problem in stabbing this target that can't move and loses its center of gravity. A cold glint flashed in Jessica's eyes. The two blue daggers were thrown at Lua without hand.

Rua's combat experience was almost the same as that of a frog and a viper, and although she had the upper hand with magic, she didn't have the slightest room to dodge the short sword that flew away, and she could only watch as she slammed into the two venomous weapons. Even though the elves' natural magic was effective in healing and detoxifying, if she was stabbed by these two short swords, she would never have a chance to use it.

But the two blue daggers didn't stab Lua. The sword in her hand also did not fall on the Black Elf, because Asa was there.

Asa took Lua's hand with one hand, and flicked two short swords off with the other. He had been prepared, and in fact this was the third time he had stopped it in these days.

It wasn't too difficult purely in terms of physical strength or physical strength, and the movements of the two of them seemed to Asa to be similar to a child's fight with each other, and it didn't take much effort to stop it. But he felt tired, really tired, and he even sometimes felt like he would rather go to Sandface Mountain and fight the two Beamons than travel with the two women again. Fighting Beamon is just a matter of trying, fighting, fighting. Fight. It's okay to be murderous, but with these two women, no matter how high the fighting spirit is and how strong the murderous spirit is, there is nothing you can do about it.

"I'll tell you. Either you drive this woman away, or I will go to the royal capital alone, in short, I can't bear to be with her. Lua stared at Asa with not only anger but also tears in her eyes. "I can't stand you being in her arms. ”

"Listen to me," Asa had a very difficult expression on his face. He didn't know what he was actually going to say, and he could almost hear his own brain moaning under overload. It was ten times harder for him to think about the rhetoric of coaxing a woman than it was to plan how to kill two of them, and it was ten times harder for Bimon to assassinate Bishop Esquil, and so on. If mind magic could increase the flexibility of his mind, he would rather endure Esquire's insane mental shock one more time.

Perhaps it is the potential of an explosion in times of crisis. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, and Asa immediately said, "You can't be so willful, for the sake of the task given to you by Elder Lloyd, for the sake of the elven clan's plan. You should know that you can't do these things on your own. Jessica: In fact, she is also indispensable for the development of the whole mission, is it just for some boring feelings that you have to abandon the fate of the entire elven race?"

This made Lua stunned for a moment, and then immediately had nothing to say. Asa secretly breathed a sigh of relief. For Lua, responsibility is definitely more important than anything else. But the distorted face and red eyes also show that this is not really the safest solution. Asa added gently: "Don't worry, I promise that there will be no more such quarrels in the future." Jessica won't talk nonsense anymore. ”

"I don't promise," said the black elf, breaking free of her rope.

"Would you like to do me a favor?" Asa glared at her, but his tone was all helpless.

"Okay, I'll help you. But you have to remember to owe me a favor. Jessica raised an eyebrow, as if she had won a battle.

"Good. Asa sighed weakly, took Lua's hand and turned to walk in the direction of the royal capital. Lua struggled, but couldn't.

Academy of Magic. The new arrival in Cardinal Javi's room.

Even though the cardinal may not be welcome in his heart, he still has to do what he has to do. The rooms arranged by the Academy of Magic for the Cardinal were still luxurious and opulent, and the furnishings inside were no worse than anywhere else.

But now in this room, sitting in the chair prepared for the Bishop behind the desk was not Bishop Javi, but an old priest.

This old priest is dressed normally, and his appearance is very ordinary, the kind that can be seen everywhere in the magic academy. But he sat in the chair that only the Bishop could sit on, and he was very smiling. As casual as the little bench where he lived. And the handsome and handsome cardinal now stood respectfully by him, poured a cup of water for the old priest with a teapot in his hand, and brought it to him, saying, "Sir, please drink water." ”

"Drink water, I'm not a fish, what do I do with so much water? I don't even have tea?" the old priest rolled his eyes.

"I'm afraid that my husband is worried that the taste of the tea will disguise the poison, so I use clear water that is easy to identify. Bishop Javi smiled. It's still sunshine, atmosphere.

"Rest assured. One, I believe in your guts, you don't dare, two, even if you dare, you probably won't be able to deal with the poison that I have hidden from me, and three, even if you can get it, I will have enough time to turn you into a pile of stinky meat after I drink it. The old priest waved impatiently at the cardinal. "The tea should be stronger. Add a little brown sugar. ”

"Yes. Bishop Javi smiled wryly as he removed the tea from the desk drawer. I made a pot of tea with my own hands and poured it for the old priest.

The old priest took a sip, shook his head and smacked his lips and frowned: "It's unpleasant." You don't even have a tenth of your master's tea-making skills. ”

"I'm sorry. The teacher didn't teach me this ......," Bishop Javi shook his head with a wry smile.

"Also, she actually taught you all the real meditation and magic techniques in the whole book, how can she have time to teach you these things again. The old priest's eyes wandered over Bishop Javi's face for a moment, and then he asked, "But I really can't imagine that she would accept disciples...... Why did she take you as an apprentice? It won't just be because you're white enough, right? There were so many little white faces chasing her back then, you should have been tired of watching it......

Bishop Javi shook his head with a wry smile, he had always been full of wisdom, might, and confidence in the eyes of others, and he seemed to be the embodiment of perfection, and he seemed to have no other expression in front of this old man except a wry smile.

The old priest said lightly: "I heard that he seems to be locked up by the guys in the guild, maybe he wants to find you, a disciple, to run around outside, right?"

Bishop Javi did not answer directly, but said, "This time I came here, and the teacher specially instructed me to come to greet Mr. So after I arranged it for the past two days, I immediately asked my husband to come over. ”

"Well, I suddenly remembered the behavior of bandits and thieves worshipping the mountain. It means that I don't get in your way. That's why you dare to go here alone. The old priest nodded. "For her sake, I naturally won't embarrass you much. Your master-apprentice relationship with her is not clear to the rest of the guild. ”

"Yes, sir, you are like a god. The cardinal nodded.

"On the one hand, I want to help your master do things, on the other hand, I have the affairs of the guild, and on the other hand, I am a young and promising cardinal, and the young people are really busy now. Much more diligent than when I was younger. What are you here for?"

Bishop Javi hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Please forgive me for not saying these questions...... These things are related to the great plans of the Diya Valley......"

"Huh, the current Diya Valley has also become a miasma, if I am still inside, I will definitely drive out all those guys who have a good heart. The old priest sighed again as if he had suddenly remembered something. "Forget it, that's not what I'm worried about. After all, I'm not from the Valley of Diya anymore. ”

"Where, your place in the Valley of Diya can never be replaced. ”

The old priest looked at Bishop Javi and sneered lightly, and said, "The old guys in the guild didn't have the courage to come here, so you came alone, so I guess I won't care about you? Really?"

Bishop Javi just bowed respectfully and said no more.

"Alright, that's it. The old priest stood up and patted his ass. "Since I said that I have nothing to do with Deya Valley, that the well water does not interfere with the river water between each other, and that you are a disciple of Vidnika, in the end, for the sake of your respectful cup of tea, as long as you don't violate my bottom line, I won't care what you do here. ”

Bishop Javi cautiously asked, "Do you care about the turmoil in the whereabouts of Einfast?

The old priest shook his head impatiently: "Ronis will worry about this, but it seems to me that it is my business. ”

Bishop Javi smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "I don't know if your bottom line is, sir, ......"

The old priest was stunned, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "Is this...... I don't know for the time being, but you'll know when you do. ”

It seems that he didn't expect such an answer at all, and Bishop Javi smiled bitterly again, but this bitter smile was the most bitter, so bitter that it could hardly be considered a laugh.

The royal palace was the center, and the outermost and largest floor was the ordinary civilian area, where everything was no different from other cities.

Asa led Lua and Jessica to a tavern here. Before he could figure out the situation, he had to find a place to stay and hide, and the tavern and inn he knew of was a good place to hide. Naturally, the taverns in this civilian area are mixed, and the soldiers of the Imperial Guards often drink here, so it is very convenient to find out the news.

But as soon as the three of them reached the door of the tavern, a figure was suddenly thrown out of it, and with it, bottles, cups, plates, and other things flew out, and from the sound from inside, it seemed that there was a fight.

Brawls in this kind of place were commonplace, but Asa was surprised when he saw the person who had been thrown out, because the uniform was actually the leader of the Praetorian Guard. It is not for nothing that there are people who dare to provoke the Praetorian Guard in the king's capital, but those people should not fight in such taverns anyway.

The leader of the Praetorian Guard scrambled to his feet, spitting out a mouthful of bloody spit, including two teeth. He glanced indignantly into the tavern, as if he wanted to rush in again, but hesitated and turned and ran.

Asa hesitated as he stood in the doorway, but walked in with the two elves. Naturally, he still wears the kind of mask given by Sandru on his face, and Lua and Jessica's disguises will not be very eye-catching, as long as they don't take the initiative to attract attention.

But he had just taken a few steps into the tavern when he saw the battle inside, and immediately turned and left. But it was too late, and the female knight, who had just beaten a few Praetorian Guards to the ground, suddenly lit up when she saw the three of them, and shouted: "Stop." ”
