At night, the Queen Mother's motorcade stopped at a sentry post on the side of the road, and on both sides of the road was the royal family's forest hunting grounds, and the silver moonlight illuminated the trees and gave birth to black shadows, making the whole forest shadowy and unfathomable.

The Marquis of Goron took Victor and Caligula through the deep woods. Along the way, wolf howls and insect chirps are intertwined, and the night in the forest seems to be no different, but Victor finds many lurking sentinels, and Caligula looks around behind him, his eyes resting on the hiding places of the sentry, and his mouth keeps muttering:

"Master, there's someone there, and here...... Over there, over there, over here, there are people watching us. ”

The Marquis of Goron stopped, glanced back at Caligula who looked like a giant, and said to Victor: "You really don't need to take Aka with you, I believe in his loyalty to you, but I don't believe he can keep secrets. ”

The corners of Victor's mouth turned up, sketched a meaningful smile, and said lightly: "Aka is a miracle, maybe someone will be happy to see him." ”

Hearing his master call himself a miracle, Aka immediately straightened his waist, thicker than a bucket, and a triumphant smirk appeared on his face.

Marquis Goron was slightly surprised, thought for two seconds, nodded, stopped talking, and continued to walk in front to lead the way. Not long after, the three of them came to an open place, and saw a ranger's hut, and there were more than a dozen guards standing outside the hut, among which were two of Victor's acquaintances, one was the deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the deputy head of the Knights of Glory, the Grand Knight Count Foster, and the other was Conrad, the secret knight who accompanied Victor to Neville.

Count Foster led more than a dozen guards to meet him, and took the initiative to salute and said, "Welcome His Highness Randall back to the Kingdom of Gangbys." ”

Victor returned the knightly salute, untied the two pure gold swords, handed them to Earl Foster, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I have lived in the Kite Castle since I was a child, thank you for taking care of me, arranging a separate room and a special guard for me." ”

"Your Highness is a natural wise being, and you should understand that none of this is accidental. Foster smiled slightly, put away Victor's longsword, and raised his hand to lead, "Please, the Chief is waiting for you." ”

Victor nodded at the secret knight Conrad, and then said to Caligula, "Aka, you follow His Excellency Conrad and stay outside. ”

Caligula watched as his master and the Marquis of Goron walked into the cabin, his erected chest suddenly slumped, and he squeezed a flattering smile at Conrad, who was most familiar. The secret knight patted Caligula on the elbow and said, "Acre, let's stand far away and don't eavesdrop on His Highness's conversation." ”

The Ranger's Cottage is simply furnished, with a long log table with bark in the center, and two thin planks hanging from each of the three walls, which lay flat to be used as both a chair and a bed. Four exquisite court crystal candles shine on the table, illuminating an old man at the table with a soft, steady light.

His white hair was sparse, his face was wrinkled, his eyes were cloudy, his flabby face had a few scars the size of copper coins, the corners of his eyes and mouth drooped terribly, and a gorgeous baronial dress could not hide the smell of aging and decay, but his hands, with slender fingers, and skin were firm and shiny, like the hands of a young man.

The old man raised his head and greeted with a smile, "Victor, we meet again." ”

Seeing the old man's kind smile and his bare gums, the image of the wizard came to his mind, and Victor hesitated for a moment, sat down in his seat opposite him, and asked, "Your Excellency Baron Benjamin, the last time we met was at the Blue Amber Hotel in the city of Brinor, when you were a master sculptor honored by the court. And what is your identity this time?"

The old man looked at Victor's dark golden eyes, smiled with satisfaction, and said kindly, "Don't be nervous, child. From the time you were born to the time you left the kiteburg, we met every year, but you didn't know it...... You sleep deeply. ”

Goron sat down beside the old man, put his hands on the table, and said, "Victor, let me introduce you, this is the head of the family canonized by the former king Bonellat, the chief of the Faceless One, His Excellency Tofervin August. ”

Victor took a deep breath and sighed with emotion, "This is an unimaginable grace. ”

The principle of the lord's surname, regardless of bloodline, one look at merit, like Nelson, and the other is grace, like Caligula. In order to gather outstanding talents from all over the world, the royal family has the right to set up a commendation surname. The commendation surname for Gombis is Benjamin, and the commendation surname is not labeled as a lord family.

It's not uncommon for a favor to give a surname, but it's very rare to give a family name to a wizard.

Once discovered, as long as the lord hands over the wizard and declares that he has been blinded, the church will generally not pursue it to the end. But if the lord favors the surname wizard, it is equivalent to forcing the church into a corner, and there is no room for turnaround.

Victor doted on Bertina and originally wanted to give her a surname so that he could win over Wizard Emerson, but when he found out that Bell might also be a wizard, he immediately dispelled this idea, for fear of causing fire and causing big trouble.

He didn't even know how to describe Roland's grandfather. This kind of thing, the Inquisition throws a few Detection Lie Magic Techniques, and Bonellat can't rely on it, and he will definitely be locked up in the dark prison of the Inquisition.

Bonellath didn't have the support of the god knight behind him.

Tofowen suddenly burst into tears and sighed: "Yes...... unimaginable grace...... I was a weak little wizard...... That guy from Bonellat is particularly unreliable, hehe, Auguste is the same, they may not be good kings, they must be the best lords. ”

"I'm sorry, but when I'm older, I always remember the past. Tofowen wiped the corners of his eyes, smiled and said, "I uphold the will of the ancestor King Bonerat, form the Faceless, and serve as the chief of the Faceless Ones until now...... Your Highness Randall, in a sense, you are also a member of the Faceless One. Of course, your will is free and not subject to any constraints from the Faceless One. ”

Victor followed his words and said, "I don't know anything about this, if the Chief thinks I'm also a member of the Faceless, can you tell me about your past?"

Toferwen was surprised at first, then looked at Victor with interest, and said with a smile: "Victor, you are not in a hurry to understand your own affairs, but are you willing to listen to my old fellow's nagging?"

Victor shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have a rough guess about my own affairs, and the rest is just confirmation, but there are not many opportunities to meet face-to-face with the Chosen One. ”

"It's a wizard, not a chosen. ”

Tofowen corrected Victor's statement and nodded, "As a natural wisdom, it was my fault that I failed to perceive your wisdom talent in the first place...... Since Your Highness wants to know my story, I am happy to tell you. ”

The old wizard began to talk about his experience, and the Marquis of Goron would narrate it for him, and Victor would occasionally ask questions, and the three of them would talk until the second half of the night.

Victor has mastered the ins and outs of the matter, but the biggest gain is that he has an understanding of Toferwen's witchcraft talent, upbringing, temperament, and values, which he can use to formulate the next negotiation strategy.

Tofowen was loyal to the Augustian family and was a typical family dead man, but he had the ability and wisdom to surpass ordinary dead men, and in addition to supporting August wholeheartedly, his main pleasure was to delve into pharmacy.

The wizards of the Augustian family are obsessed with the study of bloodline and potions, and want to understand the mysteries of the world through this way, and have achieved considerable results.

Victor pondered for a moment and said, "My father's husband is a spy of the Faceless One, and if you give me medicine through him, then my younger siblings are also your test subjects?"

Tofowen shook his head and said, "Do you know how many resources the Faceless One has invested in you? I just want to continue cultivating the Moon Elf bloodline nobles, and I don't have so many rare medicinal materials." ”

Victor grimaced and said coldly: "You killed my mother, and you carry countless souls on your body. ”

"Death row prisoners, betrayers, spies, I always use them for drug experiments first, and then it is the turn of ordinary people and nobles. "I am a servant of the king, a champion of order, and I have done everything I can, and I will not be ashamed of the death of innocent people because of me...... There's always a price to pay for gaining power, that's all. ”

Victor nodded, smiled, and said, "Champion of order...... Well, we have a position to talk about. ”

Tofowen and Marquis Goron looked at each other, and Marquis Goron asked, "Victor, can you let Master Tofowen shake your hand?"

Victor suddenly felt embarrassed, he had rune crystals hidden in his body, and it would not be good if he was sensed by Toferwen. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, "Do you do it with my blood?"

Tofowen laughed and said, "It's the best." ”

Marquis Goron threw over a pure gold dagger, and Victor pricked his finger with it, squeezing out a drop of blood and dripping it into the palm of Toferwen's hand.

The old wizard closed his eyes, felt it carefully for a long time, and muttered, "Strange?

Victor blinked and asked, "How's it going?"

Tofowen opened his old yellow eyes and said with a smile: "Victor, it seems that I am going to re-erect the statue of you again...... Your bloodline is golden, there is no doubt about it, and you will also have blonde hair and golden eyes in the future, but your human bloodline is completely gone......"

At this moment, Marquis Golon felt nervous, frowned and asked, "Does it have any effect?"

Tofowen shook his head and said, "The last time I tested Victor's bloodline, I saw that his bloodline was the ultimate, with blonde hair and golden eyes, two meters tall, long ears, three elemental affinities of fire, wind, and water, and a lifespan of more than 450 years, which is completely a sun elf. And this time, his height and ears will not change, it is the affinity of the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water, especially the affinity of the wind element is twice as high as before, but he can no longer mobilize the void fire element...... The ultimate life expectancy is only 200 years. ”

"It stands to reason that the human bloodline should feed the Sun Elf bloodline until it is completely stable...... Why did the human bloodline disappear?"

The old wizard was lost in thought, but the Marquis of Golon interrupted his association and asked, "Can Sylvia and Victor have children?"

Tofowen woke up and said in embarrassment, "Not sure...... I'm not sure, it's a hassle. He raised his head and said to Victor: "Your Highness, your human bloodline is gone, which means that whether your bloodline reaches its peak or degenerates, it can only allow the golden female knight to give birth to an heir, because your current bloodline is the starting point, and no matter how degenerate it is, it is also a golden bloodline." And I can help you and the Silver Lady Knight have children. ”

Victor asked lightly, "What conditions?"

Marquis Goron rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Male golden knights can give birth to a maximum of 4 children, while female knights of the gold rank can only give birth to one child. But Empress Barcelius gave birth to twins at once, which can be explained, the god knight's control over himself is beyond that of the Golden Knight, Verotica's height was originally only 1.78 meters, she married Draven, and within a month, she grew to 1.98 meters, and Draven's Golden Knight lover had to take several years to adjust her height. Isn't Sylvia getting younger, too? We think Sylvia can have twins with you, too, if she wants to. ”

"The royal family of the Iron Mountain Empire has been able to continue to this day by relying on the bloodline of the Divine Knights. However, in the late period of the Iron Mountain Empire, in order to fight for the royal bloodline, the four major descendants fought openly and secretly and attacked each other, which led to the intensification of internal friction in the empire, which was the fundamental reason for the collapse of Iron Mountain. Cambis cannot repeat the mistakes of the past, and we hope that the royal family and descendants of Cambis will exchange bloodlines and jointly maintain the stability of the empire. This requires Sylvia to hand over a child, otherwise the political landscape of the royal family will be unbalanced, and when the bloodlines of the two sides are skewed, the empire will be divided. I don't think His Highness Randall wants to see his children and grandchildren kill each other, right?"

Victor was dumbfounded when he heard this, stunned for a long time, and shouted, "You haven't negotiated with Sylvia until now for such a big matter?"

After talking, she did not make a clear statement. Goron shook his head with a heavy expression and said, "We firmly believe that you can make her make a commitment." However, we didn't expect your Sun Elf bloodline to mutate. ”

Victor thought for a moment and muttered, "If Sylvia and I don't have children, there's no problem. If we both have a child, do you want me to let Sylvia give a child to the Kite Castle to maintain the balance between the royal bloodline and the descendants?"

"That's right. Marquis Goron admitted.

"Okay. "I can tell you in no uncertain terms that Sylvia and I will have children," Victor said. ”

The old wizard smiled and asked, "Why is Your Highness so sure?"

Why are you sure? Master Miller said that Sylvia and I would have a baby, can I not be sure?

Victor pointed to his nose and said, "Do you know why my human blood disappeared? I made it disappear, to be precise, I made the human blood merge into the blood of the Sun Elves." I know more about my own bloodline than you can imagine. ”

Marquis Golon pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, this matter is not trivial, do you have any evidence?"

"Of course there is evidence. Victor nodded, and instead said, "The question is, what did you use to impress me and Sylvia to hand over a child?"

Toferwen glanced at Victor deeply and said slowly, "We don't need to impress Your Highness Sylvia, the question is what do you want to make Gombis look like?

The idea of the royal family is already the most ideal political pattern for Cambys, and the Randall family doesn't even have an heir, so they can't play any tricks. Tofowen saw through Victor's bluff and deliberately threw the question back.

Victor coughed awkwardly and spread his hands and said, "You're going to have to let me get something to convince Sylvia, right?"

"Hehe, what does Your Highness want from me, an old fellow?"

Victor sat up straight, his eyes lit up, and said, "Tell me the mystery of human bloodline first, and then we will talk about cooperation." ”
