In fact, Yulian was really right, he didn't care about what was under the junction, and he didn't care about it. www.biquge.info After all, as a gifted knight, Yu Lian basically doesn't care about what equipment is not equipped except for his own mounts and weapons. To the level of a gifted knight, unless the fighting style is very weird or something abnormal, just turning on the soul protector is enough to compare to the highest level of magic armor. As for other magic decorations, they are naturally not in the scope of consideration, for them, their own talent is enough. Nothing outside the body is not their focus.

At first, he just wanted to stop the stupid mages from taking the knots. It's just that when Yuren made a psychic contact with Charlotte later, he casually mentioned his goal, and then our maid master immediately asked Yuren to bring these magic crystals back. Her reason is very simple, since the materials used to make weapons and equipment in this era are so expensive and scarce, then we can't be too resigned, but the magic crystal can also be regarded as a very important raw material, we can ignore those who can't get it, but we can't let it go!

Due to Charlotte's unusually excited request, Yulian finally had to agree to her, after all, the magic raw materials are indeed something that is urgently needed in her territory at the moment, and it would be great if she could get her hands on it.

"Mr. Yuren, that's ............"

Farien's hesitant voice pulled the group back to reality, and they looked up, and soon saw a clear black hue hovering above their heads.

Nodes.

It was really just a small black dot, and if it wasn't shrouded in the white light of the tower, but in the darkness, I'm afraid no one would have been able to detect the existence of this thing. And now, it just floated in the air, silent, with nothing around it, and nothing to see. This seems to be somewhat out of step with its role and status.

"Nodes. ”

Yuren nodded, agreeing with Haren's judgment, but then, he gently patted the other party's shoulder.

"Leave it alone, it's not ours and it's not part of this world. ”

"Sir?"

"This is not a centuries-old ruin, it should be much earlier, at least a thousand years old......... You all know that overuse of Manna will make Manna thin, but you don't know that the first age of humans is the one who really discovered this. Compared to the energy they used in the first place, these magic devices are simply children's toys. Because of this, similar things happened in many places on the mainland at that time. It's not uncommon........."

Yulian hesitated rarely, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about the strange source device in his territory, but he had also discussed it with others at that time, and as a number of powerhouses in the alternation of the two eras, both Charlotte and Judy obviously said that they had never seen such a thing, although Yulian could roughly guess the origin of this thing, but he didn't think that those who could build this thing would be so bored to build this thing.

It may sound like a complicated tongue twister, but it's exactly what it is.

"The knots are created in places that are so thin that they are almost non-existent, and at this point, the power of the outer Mana will continue to enter and begin to fill and purify the inner environment, of course, for the most part, this thing is harmless. ”

“..................”

Faren stared at the black dot carefully and intently for a moment, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she nodded slowly.

"So, let's get to work. ”

Yulian drew his long sword, pointed forward, narrowed his eyes and measured it carefully, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Messiah, Semia, Miss Pherim, you three come to my aid, Miss Offariel......... Well, you can find a place to have a cup of tea, don't go near here, and don't cast the Illusory Realm, or our hard work will be in vain. ”

It was a deep dream.

Here, the icy cold wind howled by, and the ground was filled with blood, discarded weapons, corpses, broken flags.

Banner of the Sword and Rose.

"I used to believe in you so much!!"

The red-haired girl's expression was still so sad and painful.

"You cheated on me!!! ”

She held the spear in her hand, and her originally beautiful eyes were bright red at the moment.

“――――”

"I won't forgive you, I won't forgive you. ”

The girl looked up vigilantly and looked ahead, her eyes burning with fire, anger, hatred, resentment, sadness, and a hint of regret and despair.

“―――――”

The answer was hidden in the wind, and nothing could be heard.

"This is not the future I want. ”

The girl said, and then, she smiled a sad smile.

"So, what are you going to do?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Yuren?"

“―――――”

The wind grew stronger and stronger, and eventually, it enveloped the heavens and the earth, and enveloped everything.

Yuren opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a white ceiling.

"Master, you're finally awake. ”

and Charlotte's voice, which is as lively as ever.

Yuren turned his head, and soon saw his head maid standing quietly in front of his bed, looking at him with a smile. At this moment, she was putting down the work in her hand, and her eyes showed a trace of tenderness and doubt.

"You don't seem to be able to have a good dream. ”

"I just remembered some unpleasant things and unpleasant people from before. ”

Yulian raised an eyebrow before replying.

"How's the rest going?"

In fact, it wasn't easy to break up so many crystals and bring them back, and when everyone reappeared in the Twilight Forest, almost everyone except Ofaril was tired.

Compared with the hard work when they went, it was obviously more convenient to come back, after all, Yulian had a ring that could freely teleport to the Twilight Forest no matter where he was, and only four or five people would not bring too much consumption and burden, but when everyone appeared in the wide, dark square under the Twilight Castle, their faces were not very good-looking.

After that, in order to completely "harvest" these magic crystals, You Lian and the other three had to use the soul sword light to split the ground and collect those broken magic crystals, and then the pair of sisters joined forces to open up a half-dimensional space, and then the three of them swept the magic crystals that were almost as high as a hill into them.

It's just that even so, it makes everyone tired enough, after all, their natural abilities have never had anything to do with cleaning or mining, and in the end, O'Fariel, who has been able to only watch from the side, is a little embarrassed, so she quickly volunteered to arrange a room for Farien, and Faren is obviously tired, and at this moment she doesn't even have the mood to pay attention to where she was teleported, so she directly followed O'Fariel away in a drowsy state. At that time, she was afraid that any uncle would be able to coax a lollipop anywhere.

"Everybody is resting. ”

Charlotte replied in a low voice as she handed over the warm towel, and it was already pitch black outside the window, and only the light of the fire could be faintly seen.

"Need I get some food for you?"

"Even if we don't have to be so attentive, we've already brought back what you wanted. ”

“.........”

Charlotte, who was told the center of the matter by Yulian, turned slightly red, and then she couldn't help but stick out her tongue slightly. Although the knot is rare and precious and dangerous in the eyes of Offariel and Farien, for people like Charlotte who have experienced the transition of that era, this thing is like the environmental pollution that must be found in the locations of those heavy metal processing companies on the earth, although it is not common, but it is not rare to the point of shocking.

"On behalf of the sisters, I thank you for your help, master, and, of course, if you allow you, the sisters intend to express our gratitude to you in another way. Ah, it's just that the order is determined by drawing lots. ”

"This one is still waived. ”

Yulian smiled wryly and waved his hand, then shrugged his shoulders, and then, he frowned slightly.

"Where's Offariel?"

"Miss O'Faryl is still working. ”

"Good. ”

Yulian nodded, then stood up, the expression on his face becoming extremely serious.

"Let O'Fariel come to see me in the study, and you and Judy will come with you. ”

"What about Miss Messiah and Semia?"

"They don't need it, let these two little ones get some rest. ”

"Yes, master. ”

Charlotte was always very productive, and when Julien had changed his clothes and had just arrived at the study, before he could sit in a hot chair, O'Faryl appeared in front of the door, and Charlotte and Judy followed closely behind.

"My lord, what's the matter with you at such a late hour?"

"Something very troublesome. ”

You Lian waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to sit down, and then spoke.

"But first, I need to know the current state of the territory, Charlotte, report. ”

"Yes, master. ”

Charlotte lifted the hem of her skirt and performed the etiquette of a maid, and then she stepped forward -- a step that meant that she was not only a maid, but also a subordinate of Julien.

"At present, everything is still stable in the Twilight Forest, and the territories of Zach and the Byrd family have not been attacked by the Sith Empire, which is currently advancing along the western front, and it seems that it intends to expand its territory south. ”

As she spoke, the little maid smiled at Ofaryl again.

"During this time, several nobles in the Yuan West Kingdom have already submitted letters to Miss O'Faryl, although I haven't checked the specific contents, but it's nothing more than a request for Miss O'Faryl to succeed as the queen. ”

"That's true. ”

Ofaril nodded slightly, her face did not change at all, she did not seem embarrassed, but there was a hint of hesitation.

"Frankly, there's no way I can fix this yet, but ...... In my current capacity, I am no longer fit to be the ruler of a country. Or rather, I wasn't interested in it in the first place. ”

"Those nobles should also learn to rely on themselves for everything, and not always like to rely on others when they are fine, which is not a good habit. ”

You Lian nodded slightly, and then skipped the matter directly.

"How's our new friend?"

Before Yuren left, he had used the power of the Source Device to build a mage tower for those people in the Mage Guild, and the moving in after that was completely handled by Charlotte, although she was not a mage, but most of the various devices and magic items within the Mage Guild were made by alchemists, so it was not too much trouble in Yulian's opinion. Only now, when he mentioned this question, he saw that Charlotte's face was slightly embarrassed, and Judy was slightly upturned at the corners of her mouth—a rare occurrence for her, who had always been very serious in her work.

"What's the problem?"

"This ......... Not too much of a problem, the hosts, in short, just some small things. ”

It was rare that Charlotte, who had always been clear and straightforward, would have such a hard time speaking, which made Julien and Ofariel look at each other curiously.

It seems that when they left, they may have missed something interesting.

"Judy, how's your situation going?"

Since Charlotte doesn't want to talk about it at the moment, then Yulian directly skipped this topic, anyway, with his understanding of Charlotte, most of the things that can make it difficult for the head maid to speak are private matters and will not involve official matters, so it doesn't matter if you ignore it for the time being.

"All the best, my lord. ”

Judy replied immediately.

"We have already incorporated most of the soldiers, and there should be no problems with the general combat situation......... However, with the southward movement of the Scythian army, many soldiers who had fled in rout also came to the Twilight Forest, although they did not enter directly, but they stopped at the border of the other two nobles on the periphery, not knowing what they wanted to do. However, with these guys alone, it is impossible to break Valhalla. ”

"Good. ”

Hearing this, You Lian nodded with satisfaction, and then, the smile on his face immediately retracted, and then glanced at the three of them seriously.

"Then, we have to get ready, and next, there will be a battle between us and the Mage Association. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, not only O'Faryl, but even Charlotte and Judy were stunned. After all, unlike Ofariel, they are very aware of Yuren's relationship with the Mage Guild. And now, Yu Lian's words naturally surprised them.

"To be exact, with some people in the Mage Guild. ”

Yulian made further additional explanations.

"This time we left, and we found some unexpected gains, although I don't know for sure yet, but I was a little worried about whether some rats had come in again............ If that's the case, then it's going to be a problem. Miss O'Fariel, Pharen has been handed over to you, you and Shirley are with her more these days, remember, don't let her notice what's going on in the Mage Guild. Charlotte, who's the chapter leader here now?"

"This ...... It has not yet been decided, and it is still the direct responsibility of the Twelve Star Archmage. ”

"Monitor their movements, report any unusual movements immediately, and if there is any hostile behavior on their part...... Let Judy cooperate with you. ”

"What about you, my lord?"

Although he didn't know what Yuren was trying to do, he still surprised Ofaril a little because he didn't hear his appearance.

"I'm going to go with Messiah, Semia, to the City of a Thousand Laws. ”

Saying this, Yu Lian's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold cold light flashed.

"The threat must be eliminated. ”

"When the master says threat, does he mean that someone has found a knot?"

This matter had already been mentioned to Charlotte by Yulian before, so the head maid at this moment was not surprised.

"That's right. ”

You Lian nodded slightly.

"Charlotte, with the current level of a mage, how many possible surnames are there that perceive the existence of the junction?"

"The information at that time has been completely destroyed, and I think it may be a very low surname. ”

Charlotte's face also sank at this moment, and she replied seriously.

"Especially now, the Mage Guild should focus most on the manufacturing of magic devices, as for the knots......... After getting information from your master, I also asked about it on the side, but almost no one knew about it. ”

"It seems that the other party is still very cautious, and this is fine, if the situation develops to the point where it is necessary to destroy the Mage Association, then it is not a development worth looking forward to for me. ”

Yulian let out a long sigh, and then he looked up again at Charlotte.

"So, do you already have a plan for those magic crystals?"

"Of course, master!"

At the mention of her profession, Charlotte's face immediately shone brightly, and she smiled lightly, and then replied.

"Master, the magic crystals you got this time are of high purity, and there are a lot of them, so we have decided to do that!"

"That?"

Hearing this, Judy couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Charlotte, that's ........."

However, unexpectedly, Charlotte did not answer positively for the first time, but glanced at Judy quite confidently -- there was even a hint of challenge in her eyes, which can be regarded as a very rare expression, you must know that Charlotte has always been very polite, almost never make any rude acts, and now such an obvious provocation makes everyone ...... Judy's complexion was immediately ugly.

"Do you mean that?"

"This can be regarded as an excellent protection for the current city!"

As she spoke, Charlotte clenched her small fists and shook in the air full of confidence.

"Please rest assured, master, we will not let your hard work go to waste!"
