220 Postscript II
readx;? To Ian's confusion, the lord invited him alone. www.biquge.info He followed the red-clothed guard through the small buildings of the City Lord's Mansion, and then avoided them all and came to a small courtyard in the corner.
Compared to the magnificence of the City Lord's Mansion, this small courtyard is too simple. It reminded Ian of the village on Epilon, and the houses were not much different from the houses in this yard.
"My lord, the lord of the castle is waiting for you inside. The red-clothed guard said respectfully.
Ian nodded, though a little curious about how the Lord of a City could live in such a place, but what about him. There's no reason for anyone else to hurt themselves, right?So Ian tidied up his clothes, then pushed open the wooden door and walked inside.
I was greeted by a fragrant fragrance from the flower beds in the yard. In this small courtyard, the flower beds are half occupied, and there are all kinds of flowers, some of which Ian can name, while others are just a little impression.
This flower garden alone doubled Ian's affection for this small courtyard. It's just that he was a little puzzled, because he heard that the lord of Port Sophia was an old man over sixty years old, and it stands to reason that it is not uncommon for the old man to like to play with some flowers and plants. It's just that Ian thinks the layout of the flower garden seems to be made by a woman.
Ian's idea was soon confirmed. He went round the flower garden and saw an old woman with white hair.
The old woman sat in a chair with a table and another chair on the table, on which a tea set was placed, as if waiting for someone. Ian looked around, there was no one else in this courtyard, hesitated for a moment, walked up to the old woman, and asked, "Excuse me, where is the lord of the city?"
The old woman glanced up at Ian, who had ocean-blue eyes. It's as blue as the endless sea, and many people who grew up by the sea have such eyes, but this old woman feels very different to Ian, and Ian can't say why.
"If you're referring to the Hepburn Hillman guy. The old woman spoke, "He should still be having his party in the City Lord's Mansion." ”
Hepburn Hillman Ian vaguely remembered that the city lord of Port Sophia was called by this name, but he dared to call this name out, it must be someone who was very close to the city lord, and Ian subconsciously thought that the old woman in front of him was the city lord's wife.
But the old woman seemed to see what Ian was thinking, and said coldly: "I'm not Hepburn Hillman's wife, don't think too much." ”
Ian froze.
"What did the red-clad guard tell you about you?" asked the old woman slowly, "who invited you?"
Ian thought for a moment and replied, "He said that it was the City Lord's Mansion who invited me, so it should be the City Lord who invited me." ”
"Yes, it's not right. The old woman took the teacup and took a sip with great grace, which gave Ian the illusion that the old woman should be a very beautiful and elegant person when she was young.
"The City Lord's Mansion is the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord is the City Lord. But you're right, the city lord invited you. The old woman slowly placed the teacup on the table and looked at Ian, her eyes flashing with a hint of arrogance and arrogance, "I am the first lord of Sophia Harbor, Sophia Hermes. ”
Sofia Hermes. The woman, who existed like a god in the port of Sophia, was sitting in front of her right now. At one point, Ian thought the old woman was joking, if Sophia lived to be two hundred years old, no one could live to be two hundred years old.
But the old woman looked at him like this, and her sea-blue eyes carried an incomparable persuasiveness. Ian quickly remembered that Lord Sophia had such eyes, not only her, but Tony as well.
"Madame, no one can live to be two hundred years old. ”
"What if there is the blood of the dragon king?"
Ian choked, then looked at the old woman, "What do you know?"
"Don't be nervous, Lord Hunter. The old woman said slowly, "In this world, not only the hall has the information of the dragon king, of course, the hall has the most complete information, and there is only one king in my hand, that is, Nartimis who was killed by you." ”
As she spoke, the old woman looked at Ian with complicated eyes: "To be honest, I never thought that anyone would be able to kill that king, two hundred years ago, I saw with my own eyes how powerful it was, if not forget it." ”
"Do you know Tony?" Ian stared into the old woman's eyes, and then caught a glimpse of her thin arms twitching slightly and looking a little excited when she heard the name.
She tried to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, just sighed softly, and then the two sides fell silent.
Ian looked at her, and she looked at the flowers in the flower garden. For some reason, subconsciously, Ian actually believed that she was really Sophia, that Sophia Hermes. Because not everyone knows about Tony, and she apparently does.
But this still does not explain how a person can live to be 200 years old. Even the Hall, or Alder, didn't rely on dragon's blood to prolong their lives.
Wait, it seems to be true.
Ian remembered that the Dragon's Blood One in his arms had this effect. In addition to a short-term increase in strength, it also has the effect of prolonging life, but the person who eats it will be very painful and want to die immediately. After all, the power of the dragon clan is not something that humans can steal casually.
"Did you see Tony?" asked the old woman softly, and despite her best efforts to pretend to be calm, Ian could still feel the tension in her tone, "Is he still alive?"
Ian hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "He's dead." ”
Ian saw the old woman's fingers twitch visibly, she seemed to age more than ten years in an instant. Although she was very old, she seemed to be just over half a hundred years old before, but now, the emotion revealed from her eyes really looked like a two-hundred-year-old man, as old as dead wood.
"You know Tony?"
"Of course I do. The old woman whispered, "Two hundred years ago, I ate a dragon king's eye with him. ”
Ian froze, and it took two or three seconds for him to understand what the old woman was saying. She ate the Dragon King's golden pupils!
In this way, it seems to explain why Tony was able to survive as a ghost for so many years after death, while the others were influenced by the dragon king to kill each other. Just because the others didn't eat Nartimis in the eyes!
In this way, the person in front of you is really Sophia Hermes?!
