Chapter 19 Near Country
Near the township
The time of the return journey seems to be extraordinarily fast, in the blink of an eye, it has been outside the borders of Ales, it is cold and unmanned, the demon party is still so cold in September, the north wind mixed with snow particles is whistling, blowing away the hood that Mo Luo has not taken off for days, and also blowing her cloak, revealing her body tightly wrapped in clothes, Roland stopped and stood in front of her to tighten her cloak for her, and fastened the buttons, "What a person, I can't take care of myself." โ
Soon walked to the barrier, Roland dodged into the barrier first, and waited for a long time without seeing Mo Luo come in.
When Mo Luo was about to enter the entrance of the enchantment, the secret calculation had already begun, it should be intended to deal with her before she entered the enchantment, the cold silver blade was drawn from the corner, but it was not the vital point, the cold light flashed by Mo Luo in a thrilling flash, rubbed his waist, cut through the cloak, the angle of the dagger was tricky, and the knife was extremely low and slashed at Mo Luo's fingertips, the man's moves were not killing moves, but he was pressing Mo Luo step by step. His attack was only on Moro's bare skin, and he knew the man's intentions, and if he guessed correctly, it was a blood hunter.
During the fight, a half-blooded vial rolled off with a label that read Rยท A, is it Roland's blood vial? This is the first reaction, why is it in the hands of this person? She couldn't think about it anymore, she untied the necklace and opened the enchantment. Inside is the anxious Roland.
"What's going on! How did it take so long to get in? โ
"It's still a chase, but it's not Xitai's people." She shook her head.
"Or is it a chase? There was no one along the way, how could it be that when I got to the junction of the demon party, there were people chasing and killing. Roland was even more puzzled, there shouldn't be a chase at this time, after all, it was in the Demon Party.
"It's also possible that he wasn't the one who was chasing and killed, because he left this." Morrow pulled out the half-empty blood vial, "I guess it's your blood. โ
Roland took it suspiciously, and the abbreviation on the label was Rยท A, it is indeed the abbreviation of his own name, but it is very likely to be someone else, and the abbreviation of the two letters does not mean anything, opened the blood bottle and sniffed it closely.
Carefully hiding his panic, he frowned and shook his head, "It's not my blood. โ
"Isn't it?" She was more curious, and she had a little more guess in her heart.
"The taste is close, it's the blood of someone in the Altiant family, but it's not mine."
โRยท A, is there anyone else in the Altiante family whose name starts with R? โ
"I can't think of it for a while, I'd better take this back and check it out." Roland quietly took the blood vial and put it away.
"Go back to the palace first."
As soon as he entered the barrier of Ales, someone immediately answered him, and the carriage frame was ready, and he soon arrived at the palace of Ales in the center of the city.
"You seem to have told me that Doro and Barnett would join us in the Demon Party." She got out of the car in confusion, but she didn't see the two of them all the way.
"I've contacted them, they will report to the academy first, and we will go back to the palace first."
"Okay, go in first." She gathered her cloak and walked inside.
The palace of Ales is still so solemn and solemn in the impression as if it is uninhabited, through the gate, the dark gray buildings in the past are carved with complex and familiar patterns, the high and low spires reflect each other and are looming in the snow mist, everything is covered with snow, and the eaves and windowsills and even the raised patterns are decorated with a thick layer of snow, which is the scene caused by the snow that Ales does not melt all year round, and it feels strange and familiar at this moment. Passing through the gate, Moro carefully looked at the well-trimmed irises in the garden as if they were blooming in the snow as usual, and the cold ones were not like real flowers, and two rows of guards stood respectfully on both sides of the road outside the gate, saluting neatly, and the brimmed hats were also attached with a thin layer of snow clothing.
Walking up the stairs covered with thin ice, she saw the door that was already open, she stopped and hesitated slightly, and was noticed by Roland, "What's wrong?" Don't want to go in? โ
She shook her head lightly and sighed slightly, "It's just that I haven't been back for a long time." โ
Ten years on, the place she feared and longed for, and despite all the preparations she had made along the way to meet it all, she still felt mixed feelings.
Walking in, the empty hall is still brightly lit, solemn and solemn, people can't help but suppress their voices, everywhere are engraved with iris patterns showing identity, which are extremely beautiful flowers, but here they look extremely serious, and the person standing in the middle of the hall is Ethan, the chief of the guard of Ales, and the guard officer of Eliad.
"Lord Roland, Miss Morrow, I'm waiting, please come in." Respectfully saluted, even the angle of the arm bend was just right.
Mo Luo smiled slightly, stepped forward, and said quite affectionately, "Ethan, long time no see." โ
Ethan showed a mouthful of white Sensen's teeth and smiled brightly, "Long time no see, my miss." โ
"Miss me?" She smiled sweetly and stepped over his arm.
Ethan suddenly, her appearance was even more moving, which reminded him of Vera back then.
"Of course, I haven't come back after ten years of vacation, and if I hadn't come to see you, you wouldn't have remembered me." He still maintained the gesture of please, but he couldn't stop complaining, and said again, "Let's go in first, I'm afraid my lord will be in a hurry." โ
"Alright, go in first." Roland reminded her.
It was still the two heavy doors that kept appearing in the nightmare, I hadn't seen it for ten years, but the memory was still so clear, and the guards had already opened the door without giving her more time to prepare, Mo Luo stepped into this nightmare place that made her tremble incomparably, and after saluting steadily, she secretly raised her eyes and looked at the person on the seat, which was no different from the memory, and quickly lowered her head again, as if she had been trained, and said, "The subordinates are back, and I greet my lord." โ
Eliad raised his eyes and saw his daughter, who had been waiting for a long time, and when she returned, she was still willing to go home, but she looked much thinner than the last time she saw her, and she was dressed decently, but her clothes were a little wide and couldn't hold up. Eliad hadn't seen her standing in this room for ten years, and it felt like a lifetime away.
"I'm still alive and back, why is it a few days late?" Eliad sat at the desk at the head, still looking cold, making Moro feel that Eliade didn't seem to have changed a single inch in the past ten years, as if he had never been to the academy or the human world.
Mo Luo was about to speak, but was preempted by Roland, "Lord Hui, it was his subordinates who were conspired to miss the time, so they were delayed for a few days." "It's always been so excruciating her.
Eliad still didn't have any expression and didn't react to his answer, "Roland, Bowen has been waiting for you in the Demon Banquet Alliance for a few days, you go back to the Demon Banquet Alliance first, and come back before seven o'clock in the evening." โ
"Yes, the subordinate has retired." Roland saluted again and withdrew.
After Roland withdrew, Eliade said coldly again, "What's the matter with the bone qin?" โ
"My subordinates don't know." Of course, Moro knew what Eliade was referring to, she had used the Bone Piano once in the slums, but she had alarmed half of the Blood Clans of the Bloodline world to go to Mister to look for the Bone Piano, and she had been looking down at the shadows reflected on the floor, perhaps she would be punished as soon as she returned.
"What have you encountered, and you need to use the bone harp?" Eliade's eyes swept over Morlo, and no one could tell a lie under such scrutiny.
"Small things, there are many things in the slums, and it is inevitable that there will be some troubles, but I didn't expect the scope of influence of the bone qin to be so large. If your subordinates are at fault, please punish them. She obediently knelt on the ground and waited for her to fall, it was better to admit it herself than to slap Eliad in the face and admit it later.
The bone qin was given by Eliad, this kneeling made Eliad feel a little confused, the thing was given by himself, so could he still punish her with himself?
"That's it."
"Thank you, Lord for your forgiveness." Mo Luo didn't expect that he would be able to escape the beating, and he was secretly glad in his heart.
"Get up." Eliad knew that she had always kept her rules tightly, and she wouldn't get up if she didn't call her up.
"Yes." Mo Luofu stood up again, a little bolder, and asked, "My subordinates have been hunted down and killed by the Xitai people many times because of the Guqin, and the subordinates don't understand what the Xitai people want the Guqin to do." โ
"Resuscitation." Eliade paused, "Xitai is the god of darkness, his power has been sealed for many years, and the remaining Xitai have been active in the human world, hoping that the power of the United Holy Weapon will lift the seal and allow Xitai to return to control the blood world." There are six seals in total, so six holy weapons are needed, and the bone qin is one of them. โ
"My subordinates understood." Probably Eliad gave himself Guqin to test Xitai's strength, or maybe it was also to test Adler, at least not to go to the human world to save her life, she thought pessimistically, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hang a trace of bitterness.
wanted to ask Adler's identity, but she couldn't help but think of the beating when she was a child, and her mind shook for a few moments, but she didn't ask anything after all
"That's why I asked you to go to the human realm to find out the whereabouts of the holy artifact, have you found something?" Eliad stared at her daughter, who was standing in the next order, and there was a faint warmth in her eyes, and even a little happiness.
She's back.
She didn't leave.
Can't let her go again, who knows if she'll come back next time?
"The subordinates are incompetent, they have been being hunted and killed, and they really have found nothing." She thought of the magic mirror on her body, and before the matter was clear, she didn't want to just give it to Eliad.
"Well, it's good to come back alive."
Eliad was rarely so tolerant, spared herself to disturb the human world with the bone harp, even provoked a demonstration within the demon party, and spared herself for six months in the human world to track down the holy weapon but found nothing, she even felt that she was dreaming.
Pulled back from the dream to reality, he habitually responded, "Yes." โ
"Go back and get ready for tonight's dinner."
"Dinner?" She couldn't help but wonder if it should be a reception banquet for herself.
"The canonization ceremony will take place next week, and tonight you and Roland can officially appear in the Blood World."
"...... so early" Moro smiled dumbly but didn't say anything, she was only in her twenties, Eliad was so impatient to announce her identity, she couldn't help but shake her head, after tonight, everyone will see her, and it will be too late to leave, and the bitterness on her face is a little more.
"Be prepared." Eliad looked at her stiff and uncomfortable standing in front of her, frowning slightly, "Stand down." โ
watched her exit the room in an orderly manner, but she couldn't hide her slightly trembling shoulders, and her expression was complicated.
Now that you're back, you're going to stay with me forever, and I'm the only one with you.
Walking along the familiar and unfamiliar corridor, Eliade's study and his mother's suite are now Adler's suites facing each other, his own room is far away from Roland's suite, the square layout, he is very familiar, he walked around his room to Adler's suite opposite, the door looked the same as in her nightmare, she couldn't stop trembling, she couldn't stop thinking about the scene in the illusion, the blood in Eliade's hand dripped on the floor, drop after drop.
A sharp stinging pain rippled in her heart, and the pain magnified infinitely, making her tremble.
"Morrow!"
She looked back in a familiar voice, it was Ethan.
"What's wrong?" Moro has regained his composure.
"The maid is ready, go back to the room and get ready." Ethan said as if nothing had happened.
She turned around and smiled, "Okay." โ
Ethan grabbed the corner of her cloak and whispered in her ear, "Let's forget something." โ
She put away the tears that oozed from her eyes, her voice trembling, and there was a hint of almost inaudible sadness, "I know. โ
Whispering a thank you, he walked back to the suite door.
"You wore such plain clothes on your first appearance?" It was Dolores' voice, "There is no maid around. โ
"You're here." Moro laughed.
"I'll pick you out clothes."
"And what do you think of this one?" She casually picked up the simplest one from among the colorful and intricate dresses.
"It's too plain." Dolores looked around, "You see the clothes they brought you look better than these. โ
"I love this one." She looked at herself in the mirror, the black dress, an extremely simple and neat style, was what she liked, there was no popular skirt, no waist, only a ribbon tied out of the waist, the skirt was slit obliquely, the tight and slender thighs appeared from time to time, and the neck was just right to reveal the bewitching red iris birthmark.
"I can't help you, just like it." Dolores was helpless.
Morrow picked up a blue iris on the table, cut off the excess stems and leaves, and inserted it in his hair as an ornament, and nothing else.
Dolores sat on the sidelines, fiddling with the ornate and exaggerated jewelry, not knowing how to speak, but finally said, "Actually...... I didn't know if I should let Barnett come, although the adults gave him an invitation. โ
She tied her hair and let it hang naturally. "Of course you have to come, this is a good opportunity to get ahead, not to mention the opportunity given by adults."
Dolores hesitated, "But ...... Do you really think the inferior blood clan can ......"
"What's not to do, if Barnett doesn't even dare to do this, then he is not worthy of your life, adults give him a chance, no one will embarrass him." She finished applying lipstick, looked at her blood-dripping lips in the mirror, and was a little unaccustomed, "Don't worry." She put her arm around Dolores' shoulder, "Trust me. โ
"Let's go, it's almost time." She let go of Dolores' shoulders and pulled her outside.
Roland was already waiting in front of the banquet hall, and when he saw her coming, he smiled slightly, and looked at her outfit, "You and those ladies and ladies of Ales really have different tastes. The meaning of this sentence was not very clear, Mo Luo smiled back slightly, and said lightly, "I like it." Then she took Roland's already posed arm and walked inside.
Tonight she is the protagonist, her every move is in the spotlight, and she is so different among a group of celebrities and ladies of Ales, there is no superfluous decoration on her body, only the delicate blue iris is the cheapest and most precious ornament, because in the Demon Party, only the Ales family who rules the Demon Party can wear flowers. At this moment, everyone instantly remembered the youngest heir of the entire blood world, 27 years old, who was not even a fraction of the many people present, but the girl with the double blood of the Altiant family and the Ales family flowing in her veins, was Moro Ales, one of the heirs of the Demon Party.
In the middle of all the ladies and ladies who are big skirts, and each skirt is a complex pattern to the extreme, she is an outlier.
This all-gaze follows changes the protagonist the moment Barnett comes in.
- The appearance of the inferior blood clan at such a high-quality banquet is at least something that the hierarchical demon party has never done before.
Although the blood clan is progressing and the demon party is progressing, this kind of thing is still rare.
It seems to indicate that the demon party may have some unknowable changes, which shocked the hearts of these nobles present.
"Barnett." Seeing him coming, Moro greeted him with a smile and politely kissed the back of her hand. This is like another sign that this young heir's attitude towards the inferior blood clan is different from any previous heir, and it is not a good thing for the nobles, but at this moment, they are not fully aware of it.
This move naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Moro whispered, "Don't worry about those stares. โ
"Thank you, I won't."
After having Morrow's kind of talking point first, people never refuse to fill their tea and dinner with fresher news, and I am afraid that Ales City will not be able to stop for nearly a month. In contrast, Roland was much more low-key, following Bowen, his father, and getting acquainted with all kinds of nobles.
