Disturbed Heartbeat (Medium)

"Your heart is in turmoil. ”

The cup swayed in midair, and the tea in the cup had begun to overflow in the sway. Stephen looked at Sandru and said lightly.

Sandru didn't move, the expression on his face was as cold as an ice sculpture.

"You're already as hostile and impetuous, like those young guys. In this case, do you think you are still an opponent of the two of us?"

"Probably not. Sandru thought for a moment, and finally replied lightly. Even though he replied, the magic fluctuations around him were still churning.

"Then sit down and have a cup of tea. Stephen's hand was raised, and the teacup in front of Sandru floated upward. Whether it was him or Shante, there was no murderous aura from beginning to end, and until this time, they were completely indistinguishable from two ordinary old men who persuaded their friends to drink tea.

Sandru was slightly stunned: "Do you really want me to sit down and drink tea?

It's not that the two of them can't deal with him in the tea, it's that he knows they won't. Everyone else in this world may have poisoned him, but these two are not.

It's not based on friendship, trust or anything like that, and it's not the same thing between him and these two people. He was so sure because these two men were truly worthy of their title, necromancers.

Even if they were to defend the untouchable iron rule in the Valley of Diya, they would never use such a method. So in this situation, whether it is momentum, mentality or strength, it is to deal with the situation that has the complete upper hand, it shows that they really just want him to sit down and drink tea.

"Dealing with you, Sandru, you're really disappointing me......" Shante struggled to sit up straight. looked at Sandru coughing and said intermittently. "Have you forgotten what is the most important thing about a necromancer?"

The words were calm and slow, mixed with the sound of coughing, which was not very clear, but Sandru, whose whole body was filled with murderous and magical aura, suddenly froze again.

Stephen picked up another cup of tea from the stone chair next to him, took a sip and said to Sandru, "I can see that your heart is also stuffed with something, and it's very full. You didn't just come to that guy because of yourself, there were other reasons, other reasons that weren't for you. You can't help yourself, and you can't even suppress the hostility in your chest. will treat the two of us as your enemies. ”

Sandru turned his head to look at Stephen. The light in his eyes was colder than just now, more deadly, and a little dazzling, and he sneered and said, "I didn't know that your vision was so good, even I could see through it." Do you think you've seen through it?"

But Stephen didn't seem to care much about this vision, not even Sandru. He leaned back in his chair and began to look around slowly, his eyes swept over the surrounding mountains, the clouds in the sky, the grass and trees around him, his eyes were very casual and soft, and his voice was the same: "Where can I see through you?" It's just that I remember that you didn't seem to have looked around carefully since you came in. Diya Valley is such a beautiful place, I have been looking at it for a whole day since I came back, and you haven't seen it for 20 years but you haven't seen it at all, it can only mean that your heart is stuffed with something. ”

Sandru was stunned for a moment, and his eyes slowly loosened as he watched. Unconsciously followed Stephen's gaze around.

The morning sun is pouring down from the top of the Shadow Vortex, and the beautiful scenery of this large area of the valley is full of business. Exotic flowers and plants are planted in a meaningful way in every part of the valley, with three or four stout and leafy trees scattered in the middle, a stream in the middle of the mountain where a pool of turquoise water accumulates here, and a rockery that is in harmony with the environment. The scenery has a different beauty when viewed from every different angle. The necromancer who designed and planted the vegetation in this valley is known to very few people in the world, but those who know his name are the most famous garden artists in the mainland, and they all worship him as if he were a god.

The stone benches and benches placed in the shade of trees or by waterholes were carved by the hands of necromancers. Each piece is enough to drive even the most discerning art collector crazy, and so is the mug now floating in front of Sandru.

Here, beauty, elegance, and refinement are already a realm, a feeling. A kind of air. It doesn't need to be deliberately felt, it's everywhere in itself. Even a butcher who kills pigs and sells meat can feel that this atmosphere is completely different from the world when he comes here.

"I haven't been back for twenty years...... Although I don't have any shitty art aesthetics, this is really the most eye-catching place. Sandru nodded, his eyes softening a lot.

Sti said lightly: "The reason why Diya Valley can be so beautiful is because it surpasses the world, there is no utilitarianism, no **, no terror here." Necromancers can also stand above all beings because they have a noble heart. ”

"There is no utilitarianism, no **, no fear, beyond life and death, clear and lofty, this mentality is the most precious legacy left to us by the great Archimade, and the most important thing for a necromancer. Shante coughed hard, looked at Sandru weakly, and asked. "Do you still have that clear and lofty heart?"

"Indeed, no. Sandru sighed, finally picked up the cup of tea in front of him, and drank it all.

"You're actually sending someone to spy on him?" Asa looked at the three in front of him in disbelief.

"Are you mistaken? How could someone like Mr. Sandru be watched without being noticed?" said Xiao Yi coldly. "The alliance gift that Cedros gave to the Empire, the complete Star Eye was re-placed behind the teleportation magic array, I just asked the High Priest to send someone to the library every half an hour or an hour to find Old Pastor Tom to get the book, he suddenly disappeared, and the High Priest will naturally send someone to me. ”

"You even want him to calculate?" Assa stood up, his voice filled with irrepressible anger, but he finally suppressed his anger again, saying, "It's useless if you know those things. ”

Xiao Yi also stood up, looked at Asa and said, "This is the royal capital, the heart and mind of the entire empire, and we have the right to know what unsightly and dangerous things are buried under our feet." I don't care what Mr. Sandru is guarding, or what the hell is in that damn Diya Valley. What we want to protect is this empire land that is hundreds of thousands of miles long, and tens of millions of imperial people. ”

The eyes of the two standing men met each other. The anger in Asa's heart had dissipated, and it was replaced by an inexplicable sense of loss. Even if the face in front of him was angry, the cheeks that were a little flushed were still as beautiful as peach blossoms, and the eyes that were not smiling still looked as if they were smiling, and they were still so good-looking.

It's still the eyes of lovers, but now it's the eyes of the Imperial Prime Minister.

In fact, he already had this feeling when Xiao Yi made that hint to Sandru before. The hint smacked of a statesman's scheming, a flavor he had felt before, from the previous Lord Mrak, and to Rodhart, but it was deeper and more subtle.

Of course, he knew that this did not mean that Xiao Yi had approached in the direction of his father, and of course he also knew that what she was doing now was what an imperial prime minister should do, what she should say, and what she should think, and showing it naked in front of him like this is a manifestation of closeness...... But that smell, the kind of raw and cold smell of metal scraping that comes from weighing, analyzing, and calculating everything, he already smelled too much, too heavy, on Duke Mrak, Rodhart. Smelling it again now, it inevitably evoked a sense of disgust in his heart.

The smell of this already somewhat allergenic was found in the person who had placed the most emotional hopes on him, and the huge head of the head made him a little angry. But he immediately understood that this was inevitable, and his heart suddenly became empty and lost.

Xiao Yi also seemed to notice the strange change in his eyes, and she stopped talking, her expression showing a strange loneliness and uneasiness. The two of them looked away in unison and sat down again silently.

Cedros and Captain Roland exchanged a few glances with each other, then coughed, let out a long sigh, and said, "Ronis didn't even tell me before, nor did he tell Captain Roland about that thing in the dungeon, and I probably guessed that it was too important for us to know. Otherwise, why didn't he go back to the Castle of Radiance to be the Pope that day and stay here? How could Mr. Sandru commit himself to being a corpse keeper in this royal capital for twenty years?"

Sedrous paused, and then changed his mind again: "But now there are too many people who know that there is something in the cellar, and a lie may not be hidden from anyone who cares for long." And from Bishop Javi's point of view, he is probably not the only one who knows the true identity of this thing and is eyeing it. Xiao Yi is right, this is the royal capital after all, no matter how important it is to Sandru, to Captain Roland, Xiao Yi and me, it is not more important than the safety of the entire Einfast. So I'm here to ask you to make things clear to us. We don't want to offend Mr. Sandru, but we don't want to endanger the entire empire and Ofu because of Mr. Sandru's secret. ”
