Chapter 547: Territorial Fusion
Lilia walked into the study of the lord's mansion, and Victor only felt a light in his eyes.
She has picturesque eyebrows, no powder, wearing a white spider silk tunic dress with blue edges, the skirt covers the knees, revealing a well-proportioned and slender calf, and the slender feet step on the delicate white calfskin high heels, making the tall figure more upright, looking down-and-out and youthful and delicate.
Victor remembers that Lilia is 27 years old this year, and her original height of 1.61 meters has grown to 1.67 meters after the first body remodeling. Today, her height has reached 1.72, her body proportions are almost perfect, her skin is white and clean, her hair is shiny and soft, her facial features are delicate and beautiful, she can't find obvious flaws, and her brown eyes are as clear and moist as a baby, looking like a 20-year-old beauty.
Moreover, her movements are coordinated, every step is like a precision measured with a ruler, and her seemingly weak body hides a power that ordinary people can't understand, and her every move shows the beauty of flowing water, with both strength and agility, which is the trace of cultivating the Gripen's combat skills to the third realm.
Lilia's physical fitness has now reached the level of a beginner trainee knight, and her will to fight, Victor can't see it, but her combat power is only higher than that of the Alina sisters.
Victor didn't really care about Lilia's current strength and beauty, in fact, even the female knights of the silver rank didn't have much attraction to him anymore. He is afraid of loneliness, cherishes every sincere feeling, and is reluctant to let go of any intimate partner. In the eyes of the transcendental, His Royal Highness Randall is called arrogant and rude, and does not know how to respect the free will of the lover of a high-ranking knight. Victor also admits that he is powerless to resist the principle of partnership, because it is a standard of behavior based on personal strength.
However, sisters Lilia and Alina are not only Victor's women, but also his vassals. Victor, as the lord and husband, has full responsibility and all power for them.
To please one's little wife is to please oneself.
Victor took the initiative to meet her, picked up Lilia by the waist, returned to her seat, put her on his knees, kissed her delicate collarbone, and laughed: "Baby, I haven't seen you for two years, you have completely changed as a person, I almost don't recognize it." ”
Lilia's anxious heart finally let go, and on the way over, she changed into several different styles of clothing, and at the end, remembering Father Miller's words, decided to remove her makeup and wear the most modest dress, so that Victor could see her true colors.
The look of amazement in Victor's eyes is the greatest compliment to her.
Until this moment, Lilia's tears burst out of her eyes, hugged Victor's neck, and choked up in a soft nasal voice: "Victor, I miss you so much......"
"Don't cry, dear...... Am I not back?"
The two complained to each other and made love for a long time before Lilia calmed down her agitated emotions, rubbed Victor's face, and said with a confused look: "Honey, you have also changed ......"
"It's just that there is a dark gold ring in the eyes, and nothing else has changed...... Still very fond of my baby Lilia. Victor smiled faintly.
The snow-white shell teeth gently bit the lower lip, Lilia lowered her head, hid the small joy in her eyes, and murmured, "...... You become more mature, more attractive, and more attractive. ”
Victor's soft facial features have become profound, his dark gold eyes have added a touch of sunny majesty to him, his handsome appearance will no longer make people misunderstand gender, and the whole person has matured a lot, looking like a young man in his early 20s.
The most important thing is maturity.
Lilia is particularly concerned about the age gap between her appearance and Victor's. His previous appearance was fixed at the age of 16, and it seemed that the years would not leave a mark on him. It's much better now, his 20-year-old appearance and Lilia's current state are very compatible, as long as Lilia pays attention to maintenance, even if it is another 20 years, it will not make people misunderstand that the two are mother and son.
Victor understood Lilia's mind and asked with a smile, "I heard from Nicole that you have undergone another body remodeling?"
"Hmm. Lilia complained coquettishly: "...... hurt me to death, but I think it's worth it, and I want to reinvent it again in the future." ”
Victor shook his head and smiled, "Baby, it's useless...... As a woman, you have tapped your potential to the extreme, adjusted the small imperfections in your body and appearance, and then accepted the reshaping of your body, which makes no sense except to feel pain. In fact, the first three layers of Turnans' Gripen skill are all to tap into their own external forces and internal potential, and the fourth layer is to ignite the fire of the soul. ”
"In other words, as long as the Holy Warrior cultivates the first three layers of the Gripen's combat technique, he can reduce the amount of reshaping his body once, and the church can save a staggering amount of expenses. ”
Lilia frowned and asked unwillingly, "Then if I cultivate the fourth layer of the Gripen Combat Technique to perfection and ignite the fire of the soul, can I delay aging?"
Victor sighed, "The Gripen's skill to ignite the fire of the soul is actually a vision of Tournans that needs to be verified. Theoretically, it is possible, but the possibility of realization is slim to none...... Moreover, the fire of the soul is the spiritual realm of the unity of body and mind, and has nothing to do with improving physical fitness and delaying aging. However, the fourth level of training methods of the Gripen Combat Technique is all about internal and external force and body balancing skills, and if you practice well, you can improve your actual combat ability...... As for igniting the fire of the heart, you don't have to hope. ”
"Why?" Lilia pursed her lips and said unconvinced, "I work hard, practicing the Gripen Technique for 6 hours a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. ”
Victor smiled bitterly: "This is not a problem that can be solved hard, the premise of igniting the fire of the heart is the strength of the heart." Fierce warriors practice the Gripen Technique, and there is a slight chance of igniting a fire in the heart, and ordinary people have no chance at all...... Of course, I believe that Turnans must have a more clever Gripen combat skill, but no matter how clever his combat skills are, they can't change the strength of ordinary minds, and can only increase the chances of a ferocious warrior igniting a spiritual fire...... Well, it won't be more than one percent and five percent of the difference. Because, I know very well how the Gripen skill ignites the fire of the heart. ”
Lilia said suddenly: "No wonder, Master Ulliel, the adjudicating warrior of the Randall Church, often instructed Marcy to cultivate the Gripen combat technique, but since he was transferred back to the Holy See, the adjudicating warrior who replaced him no longer asked about Marcy's cultivation progress...... Lord Tournans must have modified the Gripen Technique...... He doesn't want to teach us the latest techniques?"
Victor asked, "Has your female guard lit a fire in her heart?"
"Not yet...... My brother said that Marsie's strength has reached a bottleneck now, and it is difficult to improve. Lilia shook her head, hugged Victor's arm, and pleaded, "Your Excellency, you are now Your Highness, can you come forward to intercede with Lord Turnans and ask him to teach us the new Gripen Technique?"
"There's no need!"
The research direction of the Church's Spiritual Secret Method is to ignite the fire of the paladin's heart, which can be understood as the combined application of divine magic and spirituality. The church has been inherited for more than 9,000 years, and it has not been able to popularize the spiritual fire among the holy warriors, which shows how difficult it is for ordinary people to ignite the spiritual fire. However, the church is not for nothing, the fourth-level priest mastered the spiritual fire magic technique, which can temporarily ignite a person's spiritual fire, but the disadvantage is that it is limited by the singleness and timeliness. The Gripen technique pioneered by Turnans is infinitely close to the state of Psychic Fire, and it is only a thin barrier away from ignition. However, this barrier is almost impossible for mortals to cross, and it is difficult for fierce warriors who are naturally strong in their hearts, but the power of divine magic can help the holy warriors master the mysteries of the fire of the heart. Turnans's modified Gripen Technique must have combined the heroic magic of the paladin to achieve the purpose of breaking through the barrier. Although valor is limited by time, the armed forces of the Church will make a qualitative leap.
Divine art has nothing to do with mortals, even if Turnans announces the holy warrior's Gripper combat skills, ordinary people practice it in vain.
The research direction of the Soul and Blood Secret Method is to improve the level of human life, including the power of the mind and the talent of the bloodline. Although Victor can't guarantee that ordinary people will ignite the Spiritual Fire, the Spiritual Bloodline Secret Method can enhance the spiritual strength of cultivators and increase the chance of igniting the spiritual fire.
The development and growth of the spiritual level depends on personal talent, hard work and luck, and Victor has no good way, but he is fully sure that he will cultivate a spiritual warrior similar to an alchemy soldier, mastering the two major talents of life tenacity and active adaptation. Life characteristics such as prolonging life and delaying aging also belong to the research scope of the secret method of the soul and bloodline.
Victor's statement that there was no need to seek Tournans' help was both a fact and an unparalleled confidence.
The dark golden aperture outside her dark eyes slowly turned, and Victor's strong confidence made Lilia's heart intoxicated, her face flushed, and she leaned limply into his arms, longing to be by his side forever.
Victor can't manipulate psychic power to have a direct impact on the minds of mortals like a high-ranking knight. But after all, he is a legendary-level soul strength, and for Lilia, who admires and admires him, it is simply the top charm.
"Baby, I've brought back a new recipe for the elixir of beauty and longevity from the Castle, and it's more effective than the potion you're using now. After a while, I will tailor a set of combat techniques for you, combined with beauty elixirs, to ensure that you will be as young and beautiful as a senior female knight in the future. ”
“...... Well. Lilia nodded and asked softly, "Is that potion expensive?"
"It's not expensive...... Many medicinal raw materials can't be bought with money, and they have long been divided up by powerful families, but I can buy them! Don't forget, you are now the personal maid of His Royal Highness Randall, and of course you are eligible for the top-notch beauty elixir...... What's more, we also have the Golden Regiment to control the flow of resources in various places. ”
Lilia raised her watery eyes and said in a soft voice, "Honey, I want to ......"
Victor's ears twitched, and he suddenly said, "Nicole is here." ”
After a while, the sound of high heels hitting the floor was heard in the hallway outside the door, and Lilia quickly got up from Victor's lap and sat down on his side.
Nicole walked into the study, her eyes rolled slightly, her eyes fell on Lilia's flushed face, and she covered her mouth and smiled:
"Honey, I didn't bother you, did I?"
Lilia stood up, blushing, and curtsied to Nicole. Nicole stepped forward to take her hand and teased, "Tonight, he belongs to you." Now...... You're going to a round table, and Victor's followers are already in the conference room on the second floor. ”
"Ah, there's a round table today, and what about the welcome dinner?" asked Lilia, surprised.
"I summoned them to the meeting...... The dinner will be arranged by Nicole's butler. Let's go down. ”
Victor straightened his collar and walked out the door, Nicole grabbed his arm, and Lilia was half a position behind. The three of them walked through the smooth hallway and down the stairs to the second floor, entering the large conference room of the lord's mansion.
The spacious and bright room was already full of people, and when they saw Victor, they got up from their rest chairs, lined up, knelt down and saluted, and said in unison:
"Congratulations to the master, and promoted to His Highness. Welcome His Highness Randall back to the family!"
Victor looked around the audience and saw Lord Nelson, the military commander of the Randall family, Alice, the liaison officer, Alina, the governor of Silvermoon Manor, Linda, the inspector, Munke, the sheriff, Butz, the mayor of Raven, the old Hamm, the warden of Raven, Morin, the mayor of Bendle, the head of the brick kiln, Dean, and then the mayors of the four administrative villages, Ferro, Kent, George, and Benson.
They were all Victor's old subordinates, and everyone was excited, feeling honored that their master had been promoted to His Highness.
"Get up. Victor nodded, pointed to the large round table in the conference room, and said, "Sit!"
After Victor, Nicole, and the three ladies sat down, the rest of them sat down. Victor smiled slightly and said:
"Since I established the roundtable system, the family has held two meetings a year to present problems and brainstorm ideas, which has made a great contribution to the growth of the family. In my absence, it was Lady Nicole who presided over the round table for everyone. It was the first time that Lady Nicole and I were attending the meeting at the same time...... And for the last time. ”
"I declare that the Randall family conference system will always be in place, but I will not attend the round table again...... This is the last time I will preside over the round table, and future meetings will be chaired by Mrs. Nicole. ”
Nicole bowed her head to Victor and sat in her seat with a calm expression, seemingly unaware of the change in the face of the Randall official.
Nelson raised his hand high, and as soon as Victor nodded, he couldn't wait to ask:
"My lord, what will you do if you don't care about us in the future?"
Victor glared at him with a smile and rebuked, "What nonsense...... I'll explain again after the meeting. Now we have to welcome a few new participants. ”
Nicole picked up the golden bell on the table and shook it, and it wasn't long before several well-dressed men walked into the conference room and bowed to Victor.
Nelson stood up and said in surprise, "Jomoson, you're also here for the roundtable?"
In the face of Nelson's warm greeting, Jomoson smiled bitterly and said, "Thanks to His Highness Randall's appreciation, it is a great honor for me to be able to participate in the roundtable of Silvermoon Manor. ”
"Sit down, y'all. Victor beckoned Jomoson and the others to sit down and said, "You are very familiar with each other, but I still have to introduce you solemnly." ”
"Lord Jomoson, the head of the guard of Barony Phenice, the deputy commander of the First Legion of mercenaries, the deputy garrison of the Southern Fortress, hehe, Jomoson is Nelson's deputy. ”
"Pappo, Mayor of Rosetown, was once the leader of the Stonemasons Guild in Blackcastle, and he oversaw the construction of the Temperance Gate, the Southern Fortress, Rose Lake, Rose Castle, and the harbor under construction. ”
"Lord Hals, sheriff of Barony Phinex, will henceforth be the deputy of Sheriff Munch. ”
"Dennis, the head of Stream Village, was once the head of the town of Blacksburgh, and he was responsible for the logistics of Baron Phenice's tens of thousands of employees. ”
"Lady Nicole's butler, Lord Joffrey was not able to attend the meeting today, and he will henceforth be Lady Lilia's deputy. ”
Victor paused and instructed Nicole's four men, "This is the first time you have attended the round table, and you will only listen, not speak. ”
"As you wish, Venerable Highness Randall. ”
Victor nodded and said, "So...... Let's start reporting on what we're doing. ”
"Let's start with Lilia. ”
