Chapter 370: The Value of Blue Taro
"I can't help but want to eat it. ”
Sylvia returned to the bedroom, put down the silver cover to cover the tray with blue taro, turned to Victor and smiled lightly, the lake-green skirt fluttering happily.
"Eat as much as you want, and I'll tell the swamp scouts to collect more blue taro. Victor lit a candle with lizard oil, and the flame licked against the copper furnace, and the amber in the furnace gradually overflowed with the scent of the forest.
Sylvia walked over and blew out the candle in Victor's hand, a pair of slender and well-proportioned arms around his neck, blonde hair falling backwards like a waterfall, Victor couldn't help but support her back, for fear that Yingying's willow waist would break.
"You remind me of the fairy tales my nurse said. ”
Sylvia's blue eyes were filled with a sweet smile, "The beautiful princess visited her aunt and grandmother who was married to another country with the king, and the grandmother's aging appearance frightened the princess, and she was frightened and worried, and she did not think about tea and food, and she became weaker and weaker. The king and queen could not cure the princess of her heart by bringing in the best priests, who said that only the fountain of youth, guarded by the evil dragon, could save the princess's life, and the king openly declared that whoever could obtain the fountain of eternity would marry the princess and inherit the throne. The young knight went through hardships and dangers, deceived the evil dragon with his wisdom, and obtained the spring water of the Fountain of Youth. ”
From then on, the princess and the knight lived happily ever after. Victor shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that you also have a princess heart." ”
Sylvia gave Victor a blank look and said angrily, "Every noble lady fantasizes that she is a princess when she is young, and that there is a knight who is willing to bring her the Fountain of Youth. ”
"Why a knight, not a prince or something?" my dear, I can't be a knight in my life...... "Victor laughed at himself with a little embarrassment, "Of course, I'm not a prince either." ”
"I'm not a princess either, but I've become the Queen of Roses. ”
Sylvia's eyes were misty, and she sighed dreamily: "When I realized that I was not a princess, I had another interpretation of fairy tales. The Fountain of Youth, which would be invalid when it left the spring, and no one could help the princess get the water, so she picked up her sword, put on her armor, turned into a knight, slew the dragon herself, drank the Fountain of Youth, and became a queen from then on. ”
"The princess and the knight live happily together......."
Victor chewed for a moment and exclaimed, "Very wonderful interpretation, the Fountain of Youth" turned out to be the Elemental Sea. ”
"The princess represents innocence, beautiful and fragile, difficult to last. Knights represent courage, wisdom, and strength. The evil dragon represents difficulties and challenges. If a knight doesn't protect the princess, he can't be a king. If the queen forgets that she was once a princess, the knight's armor will cause her beauty to wither, and her youth will become meaningless. Sylvia nodded, kissed Victor on the lips, and smiled sweetly: "My dear, I now believe in the fairy tale told by my nurse, and I know that you are my knight." ”
Sylvia's eyes showed admiration, and Victor couldn't help but be in a trance.
When I first met Sylvia, her mature and beautiful style made Victor ignore the awe of the Duke of York and his entourage. When she learns Sylvia's true identity and the two get along again, Victor always has a little pride and a little shame, which sprouts the urge to conquer her. But Sylvia's temperament and appearance are also changing, and this change is not overnight, but a subtle adjustment from the heart to the body, like a rose after the rain, vibrant, graceful.
Today's Sylvia is bright and beautiful, like a stunning beauty in her twenties, with a touching charm with a smile and a smile. In public, she is still the queen of roses, and when she is alone with Victor, she becomes a happy woman nourished by love, and she will also be coquettish to her lover, play petty, and occasionally show her cute side.
Everyone has multiple faces. Victor clearly knows that Sylvia is not acting, and she doesn't need to act, this is the soft side of Queen Rose's heart, but it is by no means Sylvia's weakness, but the beauty and truth in human nature. Sylvia's goodness blooms only for him.
You enjoyed our intimacy, and so did I......
Victor lifted Sylvia's soft and delicate body in the way of a princess hug, put her on the sofa chair, knelt on one knee, held her slender hand, and said, "Then my princess, what do you need to serve?"
Sylvia kicked off her delicate heels and backhanded Victor onto the couch, giggling and falling into his arms.
Lovers are in the same room, and naturally a hot kiss is indispensable. The slender and round thighs were caught in the skirt of the strange hand, Sylvia gasped and said with silky eyes: "My dear, I thought that I was only with power, family and roses in my life, and you let me experience the fantasy of girlhood, I almost forgot it." ”
"Love is pleasant, and pleasure makes me more beautiful. ”
"Pleasure makes me live longer!"
This is a serious topic, Victor pulled his left hand, sat upright, and asked seriously, "Does blue taro have a similar effect on you?"
Sylvia nodded, shook her head again, and asked instead of answering, "You know how to swim, how do you feel in the water?"
"It's easy and free...... If there were no fishmen and monsters in the Jinshui River, I could cross the river and swim to the other side. "Victor is confident in his water and physical strength.
"What if it's in the ocean? What if it's in the elemental sea?"
"This ...... I'm afraid I'm going to be drowned. ”
Sylvia smiled indifferently and said, "In my opinion, the three natures of human beings are one, namely divinity, beastliness and human nature. ”
"All things have divinity, rotting into mud and fire into ashes, but it is only the transformation of the elemental form, but its essence does not increase or decrease, it is eternal and immortal, representing the origin of the world, so it is divinity. ”
"Above the divine nature is the animal nature, hunger gathers and hunts, cold weaves clothes and builds nests, fear flees danger, anger kills bloodthirsty enemies, and food and clothing reproduce. Bestiality is the instinct of survival, and both intelligent species and animals have bestiality. Without the beastly nature, only the divinity remains. ”
"The controlled animality is human nature, which turns the blood into wisdom, fear into courage, anger into reason, and the instinct for reproduction into love and responsibility to the family. Human nature is born of the cooperation of the same kind, and the chaos in the animal nature must be eliminated, and the power of human survival will be multiplied, which is embodied in the inferiority and moral traditions, in order to protect everyone in the group. Human nature is the force of order, derived from animal nature, higher than animal nature. Sylvia paused, then said, "The essence is still bestial...... Therefore, human nature does not distinguish between good and bad, regardless of race, the brilliance of human nature is only for companions, orcs cannibalism is justified, and our killing of orcs is also a commendable feat. In the same way, if someone dares to hurt you, I will also treat him cruelly, because you are my love. ”
Victor nodded, frowned again and asked, "What happens if you lose your humanity?"
Sylvia smiled, "If there is a wild beast among the people, spit on it, imprison it, exile it, and if it doesn't work, put it on a wooden spike......"
"You know that's not what I'm asking. Victor said in a deep voice.
Sylvia stared into Victor's eyes and sighed, "The elemental sea is constantly eroding our souls, and we will lose not only our humanity, but also our animal nature. ”
"Why is the Elemental Sea called the Sea? It is unfathomable, boundless, and if you jump down, you will never be able to get up. ”
Sylvia laughed: "The limit lifespan of the Golden Knight is 160 years, but very few Golden Knight can live to this age, and they often drown early. In order to survive in the Elemental Sea, the Golden Knight must gain a deep understanding of the nature of the Elemental Sea and make himself strong and free. ”
"Legendary Realm?"
"Yes. Sylvia said, "There is no way back for the Golden Knight, building a transcendent combat skill is the understanding and application of the Elemental Sea, but every attempt may be completely assimilated by the Elemental Sea." Even if he succeeds in mastering the Extraordinary Combat Technique, the Golden Knight will fall into a trough and will need a while to escape the influence of the Elemental Sea, which will show that he will not be interested in anything. It's been a tough process, but if he can get back to normal quickly, the better his chances of stepping into the legend. ”
"Appetite is dispensable for the Golden Knight. We can eat brown bread as a delicacy, or we can eat it as if we were chewing wax, as long as we adjust our palate. And the blue taro ......," said Sylvia after a moment of silence, "I really think it is delicious." It's an instinctive need...... After eating Blue Taro, I became more connected to the real world, in other words, Blue Taro allowed me to temporarily escape the negative effects of the Elemental Sea. ”
Gaze into the darkness and be gazed upon by the darkness.
While the Golden Knight is strong, it is impossible not to pay the price. Alchemists also need to mobilize the power of the elemental sea to make law crystals, and this process is probably even more difficult than the golden knight honing his extraordinary combat skills. Therefore, alchemists need to get rid of the negative state in time, and blue taro is the guarantee of their continued work.
Since Blue Taro can help the alchemist complete the Law Crystal, it will definitely allow the Golden Knight to master extraordinary combat skills and set foot in the legendary realm!
Victor immediately jumped up and said, "Roland is too much, there are only eight blue potatoes in total, and she only has one left...... I'm going to chase it back!"
Sylvia took Victor's hand and said with a smile: "If Roland takes all the blue taro and doesn't run away in a hurry, will you and I think of the value of the blue taro?"
I'll just think of blue taro as an ordinary plant....... Victor thought for a moment and asked, "Roland is deliberately reminding us? Why didn't she just say it?"
"Blue taro shouldn't just be a delicacy for the Golden Knight, it should be made into a better potion. In pharmacy, there is no family that can compare with August. Roland wants to work with us, we provide blue potatoes, and the Auguste family provides potions for the Golden Knight. As for why she didn't say it directly......" Sylvia shook her head and smiled: "This is Roland's style, she wants to see me lose my temper...... I'm ignoring her!"
You seem to be a bit of a gaffe...... Victor touched his nose and asked, "Honey, will Blue Taro allow you to step into the realm of legends? I mean, will you live to be 160 years old?"
"I'm already a legend!" Sylvia glared at Victor angrily, and said calmly, "I understand my condition, 120 years old is the limit of a god knight." However, Blue Taro can free me up more power, and the Golden Knight can't rely on Blue Taro if he wants to step into the Legendary Realm, it can only be used as an auxiliary. It is the bloodline that determines the potential of the Golden Knight. For example, Marquis Gorlon, Blue Taro may be able to help him master three sets of extraordinary combat skills, but he will never become a legendary knight. ”
"In any case, blue taro is a very valuable resource. With this resource in our hands, we have plenty of leverage. ”
Victor continued: "My swamp scouts were originally mountain people who paid for more than two dozen lives to open a hunting ground in the swamp. Now, many freedfolk have joined the Swamp Scouts, and I currently have 219 Swamp Scouts divided into three Scout Squads. I promised that the swamp scouts would receive a lot of commissions, and that the resources they collected in the swamp would be their own, and the Randall family would bid for them. ”
"It is necessary to expand the size of the swamp scouts. Sylvia nodded and said, "I can send a knight into the swamp, but this is a dangerous errand, and a noble knight should not spend his life and time gathering blue taro." I want your swamp scouts to go to the Central Fortress and the Northern Fortress to open up new hunting grounds. The House of York can afford their remuneration and supplies, but the resources they gather and hunt must be sold to the Central and Northern Fortresses, and the Southern Fortress will still be yours. ”
Victor laughed, "You also have a fancy for the leather armor of the six-legged crocodile. ”
"Can't you?" said Sylvia, smirking.
"As you wish, my princess. Victor gave a knightly salute with a sad face, and Sylvia turned her anger into joy, and he said with a straight face: "There is one more thing, Archduke Williams just talked to me about the affairs of the Solim family......"
Victor recounted the conversation as it was, but did not mention the entanglement between the Juggernaut and the Queen of Iron Mountain.
"How do I feel that Williams is warning me not to meddle in the political situation in the South?" Victor frowned, "The infiltration of the Kite Castle into the Solim family is shocking. If Williams uses the same tactics against the Randalls, how can I be on guard?"
Sylvia chuckled, "You don't have to worry, the declining Solim family is like a sieve, full of loopholes. Williams wanted to send secret agents to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Randall family, which was not an easy task. ”
"However, I will not support your meddling in the internal affairs of the Southern Lord!"
