Chapter 544: Reactivation
At noon, the light shone through the hole in the top of the warehouse on the haystack, and Gillian looked up from the crook of Victor's arm and stared at his face, feeling an inexplicable throbbing of emotion in her heart.
As the heir to the Chebman family, she is no stranger to the rules of the game in politics. The Chebman family belongs to the Solrim bloodline and is legally qualified to inherit the Copper City and rule the Southlands, but the royal family of Gambis prefers to break up the Solrim bloodline lord group. The reason why Kite Castle supported the Chebman family to monopolize the Copper City was to prevent the Centaur Hills from interfering in the southern border of the kingdom. In a sense, Gillian's partnership with Victor prompts Kite Castle to compromise with the Chebmans
Now that the two sides have reached an agreement, Gillian's dealings with Victor have become particularly sensitive.
The principle of companionship is a recognized marriage tradition of knights and nobles, and it seems that it is not limited by geography and camps, and Bronze City and Centaur Hills also belong to the same kingdom, not hostile camps, but His Royal Highness Randall's current political influence is not trivial, and his every move will be interpreted as different political signals by various forces.
Chebman's side showed his loyalty to the royal family, and the heir of the Chebman family immediately had a tryst with His Royal Highness Randall. What will the Kite Castle think of the Chebmans, and what will the Southern Lords think?
The southern family is a plate of scattered sand, and Chebman needs time to integrate the blood lords of the copper city, formulate the order of the southern border of the kingdom, and prepare for the southern expansion of the crossing. However, there will always be restless guys who want to muddy the waters for their own benefit. The Chebmans must not give them any false reverie.
In this case, Gillian is not fit to get in close contact with His Highness Randall. At the very least, this is a period to avoid suspicion. Victor invited her to be a guest at Silvermoon Manor, and she should have declined, and Victor should have tried to avoid Chebman to see her...... After a few times, Victor would not go to her again, and the trust between the two parties would really disappear.
So, Gillian left the family's main city and waited in their love nest for news of her lover's car, intending to sneak up on him on the way back. Therefore, the Countess came to persuade her to give up, and clearly told her that if she dared to go to Silvermoon Manor, she would be deprived of her inheritance.
Gillian was reluctant to admit it, knowing that her mother's opinion was right. From the moment Victor was promoted to His Royal Highness, her relationship was almost over.
No one would have imagined that Victor would go to the Hibiscus Manor alone to have a private meeting with her. A golden-blooded high-ranking knight lover had a private meeting with a high-ranking knight lover, and Gillian had never heard of it. Victor did not have any political influence on her, and he took unimaginable risks himself, but behind it was an immense trust in her.
Until now, Gillian has been wrapped in a great happiness, and she is eager to let go of everything and return to the Centaur Hills with Victor. But seeing his dark golden eyes, he regained the sanity of a high-ranking knight.
Transcendents despise desperate love, believing that it is inferior to the inferior nature of lower creatures, like moths to a fire, no matter how much mortals glorify the love story, they cannot hide their lowliness enslaved by instinct, only free souls deserve respect.
Victor ventured to meet her, never to enslave her with the sweetness of love. A silver knight is not worth it for His Highness Randall. Victor is just for Gillian Chebman.
If you lose yourself, you lose your love with Victor.
The hay warehouse, the hole in the roof, the pouring sun, the messy haystacks, the old cat cowering in the corner, the handsome and noble lover, and the straw stuck to his hair...... Gillian suddenly had a feeling of real and unreal, she hugged Victor tightly and smiled, "I heard that there are men and women in the manor who cheat in the forage warehouse...... Is this also called cheating?"
Victor hugged Gillian and lazily teased, "Did you hear that it was eavesdropping?"
"Phew, I'm not going to be that boring. Gillian blew into Victor's ear and explained, "When I'm fine, I only count my gold in the vault...... When the people below reported to the butler, I happened to hear it...... I never ask about this kind of thing. After a pause, he asked curiously: "Victor, do you say, the love of inferior people is the same as that of knights?"
Victor smiled, "How can it be the same...... They can live together for a long time, and the easiest thing to bully is the people around them, and if their partner can be like a knight, with their arms together and burst out with tons of strength, they will also know respect and distance. So the difference between a knight and an inferior person is strength. ”
Gillian asked, "How do inferior people bully their partners?"
"After living together for a long time, it is inevitable that you will want to overwhelm each other and let the other party listen to your words, it is very common for a husband to beat his wife and a wife to beat her husband. ”
"Isn't that an ordinary woman at a loss?"
Victor shook his head and smiled: "It's not all like this, smart women can always keep their husbands in order...... Just like Nelson, his strength is far greater than that of ordinary knights, and he usually obeys Linda's words. ”
Gillian was greatly moved when she heard this, rolled her eyes, stuck to Victor, and said in a greasy voice: "Your Highness, you know so much. ”
Victor was suddenly happy, this goblin usually looks like a cold and glamorous queen, and he also knows that with gentle means, he is simply self-taught.
"It's not like the Gillian I know. ”
Gillian still had crushed wheat stalks hanging on her head, and her beautiful legs as tender as clotted fat gently rubbed against Victor, and said coquettishly: "I also want to try the love of ordinary people." ”
Victor smacked his lips and said, "You just said that people often come to this warehouse for trysts...... Anyone else to report to your housekeeper?"
Gillian's face changed, and she quickly bounced off Victor's body and rummaged through the grass for clothes.
Seeing Gillian grabbing her shirt and putting it on her body, Victor suddenly became anxious, "Hey, that's not your clothes......"
"I don't care, who told you to tear my nightdress last night. ”
“...... How many times have I told you that you want to wear a spider silk nightdress, and you prefer to wear fine linen shorts...... Well, it's all my fault...... Baby, listen to me, you can't wear my shirt. ”
Gillian exhaled all the breath in her chest, but she still couldn't button the front of her shirt, so she took off her shirt and threw it in Victor's face, snorting angrily, "You have to pay me a spider silk nightdress...... Also, what do I do now? ”
Victor put on his shirt and pants and said, "I'll go to the garden villa to get you clothes." ”
"No, no, you can't let people know that we had a tryst in the warehouse yesterday...... Otherwise, it's not fun. Gillian lay on the grass, crossed her slender calves, and chuckled, "You go to the villa and steal a set of clothes for me." ”
"No problem. ”
Victor dressed neatly, jumped off the haystack, put on his boots, and before going out, he looked back at Gillian on the haystack, and said slyly, "When I go out to steal clothes, if someone comes in and forks the grass, what will you do?"
"What do ordinary people do?" asked Gillian, frowning.
"I guess it's hiding in the grass. ”
"It's simple. ”
Gillian twisted her body slightly, and the whole person fell into the grass, leaving only her head exposed, and asked, "Is this okay?"
Victor looked at her cold and charming face, forced a smile, and nodded again and again in approval. Gillian bit her lip and shrank her head into the hay as well.
Outside the warehouse, the sun was shining, and the Hibiscus Manor was full of people, and it was difficult for even the Golden Knight to sneak into the Garden Villa in full view. However, Victor's extraordinary perception, coupled with his familiarity with the terrain of the manor and the patrol rules of the guards, easily escaped countless pairs of eyes and ears and burrowed into his and Gillian's love nest.
Unexpectedly, there was no one in the villa, and Victor climbed up to the third floor suspiciously, pushed open the door to the master bedroom, and saw a set of women's hunting clothes neatly arranged on the bed. Apparently it was the Countess of Chebman who made arrangements for them.
"It's boring. ”
Victor muttered, pursed his lips, rolled up Gillian's clothes, and sneaked back to the warehouse before he knew it.
The two of them laughed and made love for a while before holding hands and leaving the haystack warehouse that had impressed them. The surrounding peasants saw their mistress and her lover emerge from the hay storehouse, and their jaws dropped one by one. Naturally, Gillian ignored them, took Victor's arm, and returned to the garden villa.
For the next period of time, Victor and Gillian were inseparable, fishing, picking goose eggs, picking fruits and vegetables, teasing cats and dogs, cooking and laundry, and living an ordinary married life.
Three days later, the resident priest of the Earldom of Chebman ran to the Hibiscus Manor and persuaded Victor to hurry back to his domain, asking him how he had come and how he had returned. In short, no one should know that His Royal Highness Randall had entered the territory of other families without the spread of the church, otherwise, Pastor Dane would be in big trouble.
At this point, Victor's goal has been achieved. I believe that it will not be long before the anecdote of His Royal Highness Randall's private meeting with Miss Chebman will spread. This is obviously not in line with the rules of the big aristocracy, but it is also not political, it is purely a lace scandal that makes noblewomen and celebrities talk about it. There is no need for the Kite Castle and the Chipman family to continue to pay attention to Victor's normal dealings with Gillian. The Southern Lords don't want to mess with Gillian and Victor's partnership.
That night, Victor said goodbye to Gillian and returned to Randall alone, but without alerting anyone, he quietly went to the Alchemy Tower Cave in the Hill Fortress.
Cracked stones strewn across the inner cavern floor, and Victor's eyes glowed golden in the darkness, and the next step was to verify the results of the second restoration of Alchemy Tower 7.
He turned X-3 to calm his agitated mood, turned his head, and asked in a deep voice to the barberry militia beside him, "Brute Niu, has the piece of relic crystal I asked you to bring back been hidden?"
The Brute replied, "Yes, my lord." I have done as you instructed, put it in a fine iron box, and buried it in the farthest corner of the lower camp, a full 5 meters deep. ”
When Victor collected the Neville Rune Crystal, he found a yellow alchemy empire relic crystal with tiny runes inside. Not knowing what kind of effect it would have on the Alchemy Tower, Victor did not touch the relic crystal directly, but instead ordered the Brute Bull to take the crystal from Neville back to the Hill Castle and bury it deep underground.
Alchemy Tower 7 was about to be activated, and Victor decided not to take out the relic crystal for the time being, just in case.
"Stand back. ”
The brute bull stepped back 2 meters, Victor stretched out his right hand, and used his mind to stimulate the rune crystal in his body, four elemental runes emerged from the void, rotating around Victor's slender and well-proportioned fingers, and the four light colors of yellow, red, blue, and green reflected the cave's waterhole, reflecting dazzling changes in light and shadow.
The four elemental runes quickly fused and turned into a diamond-shaped crystal of light and mist, which seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and floated directly above the gravel, where the four void elements converged.
The shattered stones floated into the air and were spliced together into a complete altar, and the strange scene of the cave ** also came to an abrupt end and was restored to the original old view.
Victor can't wait to connect with Taling in his consciousness:
"The King?"
"My lord, here I am. ”
The king's voice sounded in his head, and Victor finally put his mind at ease, whistled lightly, and ordered: "Report the basic situation of the No. 7 Alchemy Tower." ”
"Yes. The king responded: "The Alchemy Empire's first-level authority No. 7 Alchemy Tower, the total amount of soul fire is 14,031 points, the remaining soul fire is 3,103 points, and the remaining resources are 70,300 gold soles." Control 6 alchemy dragon lizards, 421 alchemy militia, 75 alchemy war mastiffs, 950 alchemy auxiliaries, and 0 alchemy crows. ”
The total amount of soul fire has increased from the original 12380 points to 14031 points, an increase of 1651 points, it seems that Neville's alchemy tower has residual soul fire, but why can No. 7 alchemy tower absorb its soul fire? I have been out for too long, the alchemy crows are all dead, and it is estimated that the remaining life span of the alchemy mastiff is not much, and these two units must be replenished first...... It seems that there is no need to worry, the forest falcon, red-eyed crow, blue-eyed eagle, guard dog and guard dog cultivated by Imerson can replace the role of the alchemy crow and the alchemy mastiff......
Victor gathered his divergent thoughts, pressed his excitement, and asked, "Report on the repair and new functions of the Alchemy Tower!"
"The memory upload function has been fixed, the element adjustment function has been added, and a new alchemy combat unit has been added...... The rest is the same!"
There was something strange about the king's transmission of consciousness, but Victor ignored it, he was completely immersed in ecstasy.
