Chapter 389: Urutel Adventure (4)
Bayaf was a little dissatisfied with the young woman's words, but seeing that his master had made up his mind, he had no choice but to retreat.
When the serpent master Saldo finally left the carriage, the young woman spoke, "Please bring Avro to me, this little girl is probably still complaining about me." ”
"As you wish!" the serpent master Saldo saluted respectfully and stepped back.
In a short time, the door of the carriage was reopened, and the snake master reappeared in front of his master, and then Saldo turned sideways, revealing the Sand girl Avro standing behind him. After Avro entered the carriage, Saldo closed the door and activated the soundproof barrier so as not to disturb the conversation between the mother and daughter inside.
"Hmph, my mother, why did you suddenly think of me again?" asked Avrol, looking at her mother, a little angry.
The young woman smiled, although she was Avro's mother, but if the two stood together, they could not see this from their appearance alone, and it had not happened in the past to mistake their mother and daughter for twin sisters. After seeing Evero's appearance, the young woman reached out and combed Evero's hair, which was slightly messy due to the bump just now, before she spoke: "Evero, you are still young, and many things are not as you imagined. ”
Avro was clearly still resentful, and she turned her head away, ignoring her mother.
Avro's mother herself would not be angry with her daughter's little temper, she pulled Avro to sit beside her, and then said patiently: "I know you blame me for grounding you, but there is no way to do it, after all, this time I escaped without permission and caused a lot of trouble, and some of them have already blamed you for the failure of Sarofin, and even plan to ...... the mistake of the whole plan."
"Hmph, a bunch of cowards!" Avro raised her head, stared at her mother, and said, "Shouting slogans to shake the heavens and the earth, poking up leaks to shout to the heavens and the earth, this is the most loyal warrior of the great Siren Empire?
Avro's mother, Her Majesty Celine Vena, the current queen of the former Siren Empire, turned straight after hearing this, and she said to Avro seriously: "My daughter, this is a private conversation between our mother and daughter, you can talk about everything to me, but except for this occasion in front of you, you must not talk about such negative topics, otherwise even if you are my daughter, you will be punished the most severely, but don't blame me for not reminding you at that time!"
"Whatever, in fact, I don't care about this so-called noble identity at all!" Avro knew that her mother's admonition was for her own good, so her tone softened a lot, but she still complained: "Since childhood, you have to learn endless etiquette, you must be noble and generous at all times, you must maintain your manners, and you can't easily express your inner thoughts...... I've had enough, I've had enough!"
"But don't forget, if you don't have this identity, you can't have a life of food and clothing from a young age, and you won't be enjoying the offerings of others without worry. My dear daughter, there are some words that are very unpleasant, but you are already an adult, you should understand that if you and I do not have this identity, I am afraid that the best fate waiting for us is just someone else's plaything, right?" the young woman Celine Vena sneered: "Are you proficient in martial arts? Are you good at casting spells? Do you have the wisdom to calculate everything? Do you have the power to control the fate of others? You don't, Avro, all you have is Miss Jiaojiao's temper and childish and simple little head!"
"Me!" Avro felt that her mother's words were very harsh, but when she wanted to refute it, she suddenly found that all this was true, from the moment Sarofin fled, she had no noble identity as the heir of the Siren Empire, and as a result, she almost fell to the point of being wantonly insulted by a group of lowly and dirty mercenaries, and later, although her life was relatively safe, she was also under the wing of the Tieflin and his wife, in a way, what was the difference with the plaything her mother talked about?
"Young, hot-blooded, and the heart is higher than the sky!" Celine Vena's every word pierced deep into Avro's ears: "I have also walked through your age back then, so I naturally know all this very well, but in this world of the jungle, these things can only make you hit your head and bleed." My daughter, do you think I really don't know that those old guys are fighting for power in the name of restoring the Siren Empire? Do you think I don't know that they began to slowly empty the power that should belong to us many years ago? Do you think I really can't see the obscenity in the eyes of those old guys looking at us?"
"Why does each generation of the family select three of the best women to be sent to the altar beneath Yurut? Rusjaro suggested to me back then, that I should use these women to envelop those quasi-legendary powerhouses. Celine Vena sneered and said: "If I hadn't been in obscurity for so many years, and even completely gave up those powers on the surface, do you really think those old guys would give us such lenient treatment? My mother was ambitious and tried to win over the legendary powerhouse to regain her position, but what was the result? Before she was 30 years old, she died of incense, do you believe that she really died of illness?"
"My daughter, the greatest secret of our Siren royal family is hidden in the altar beneath this Yuruter, and as long as the great goddess of the sea can hear the call of our bloodline inheritor and descend to her supreme majesty, then our Siren royal family can continue to pass it on. But once we abandon this root, will we really be able to turn over even if we have a few legendary powerhouses?"
Celine Vena said this, paused slightly, and slowly narrated in a slow tone: "Okay, even if we finally succeed in internal strife to regain power, what awaits us after our strength weakens will be the legendary powerhouse team of the Naga Empire." The Siren Empire was defeated because Her Majesty lost the protection of the goddess of the sea and the power of the light of the gods, and finally died under the repeated attacks of the 27 legendary powerhouses of the Naga tribe, but even so, more than half of the 27 legendary powerhouses were martyred! Why did the Naga Concubine Ling Cui clan slaughter the submarine plain frantically, because in that battle, none of the 4 legendary powerhouses in their clan died, if it weren't for some terrifying reputation to suppress the enemies who were about to move, either openly or secretly, maybe the Fei Ling Cui clan would have been annexed by others a long time ago. ”
Listening to her mother's recounting of the secrets of the past, Avro suddenly felt a heavy weight on her body, which made her feel breathless. Avro was tempted to turn and run away from the right and wrong, but in the end her feet stood firmly on the floor and did not move a bit. Looking at her daughter's expression, Celine Vena easily guessed her mental activity, so Celine Vena took her daughter in her arms with both hands, held her in her arms, and then stroked her hair while saying: "This is our birthright mission, no matter how you escape it, you can't disobey it." So, my daughter, face your fate bravely, if you really succeed in being blessed by the goddess of the sea, then our sirens really have a chance to turn over, if you fail, it doesn't matter, continue to pass on our bloodline, let our next generation continue to try......"
"That's Mother...... You, you ...... at the beginning" Leaning on her mother's arms, Avro suddenly felt very warm in her heart, and she asked softly, "What is that ritual like?"
"Everyone's ritual is different, and you can see it as a test of your mind by the gods. Celine Vena shook her head and said: "Other people's experiences can only make you more confused, so when you are faced with a choice in the test, you can be yourself." ”
"I see!" Avro snuggled up in her mother's arms, enjoying a rare warmth, she rarely had this chance to be alone with her mother since she was a child, and it was often only after Avro sat down for something "out of line" that Celine Vena would appear to discipline her, this deformed growth experience left a deep rebellious brand in Avro's character, otherwise she would not have been so bold as to run around alone.
"Avro. Celine Vena felt the heat of her daughter in her arms and gently called her name in her ear.
"Well, Mother," Avro asked in the same faint voice that could only be heard by the two of them, "what is it?"
"There's one thing I need you to come up with...... Celine Vena said slowly.
――――――*――――――*―――――― "How far are we from Yurutel?" Siassi asked Watson beside her with a relaxed expression.
"Less than 300 kilometers, patriarch. Watson quickly checked the topographic map in his hand and replied in a deep voice, "We walked in a straight line." ”
Sias nodded, and after her teacher blasted the coral sea open with a forbidden spell, it only took her and her party just over two hours to quickly pass there, covering the distance that would have taken nearly a day to detour. With Ryan's initiating education, Sias slowly began to learn how to adapt to the strength of the legendary powerhouse and use this power along the way, such as with the help of Ryan's "Magic Vision", Sias can know every move of the entire team within a radius of tens of kilometers, which is not something that can be easily achieved by sending a team of scouts.
Ryan, who was riding on the seahorse, suddenly made a stop gesture and said, "There are guests coming, get ready for battle!" Hearing this, Siassi hurriedly gave the order to stop advancing, and soon the entire team was ready to defend under the command of Siassi, hundreds of people were ready to do their jobs, as long as the attackers were not legendary powerhouses or more than ten times the number of people, they were quite confident that they could defeat those opponents who were not self-sufficient.
A few minutes later, a small shuttle came into view, just over 3 meters long, with a sharp cone at the tip, which allowed it to easily break through the water. The speed of the shuttle boat was extremely fast, and when it was less than 5 kilometers away from the snake-man and them, Xiassi and his party could clearly find that there was actually a snake-man man next to this small shuttle boat, and his speed in the sea was not slower than this shuttle boat, judging from the relaxed expression on the snake-man man's face, I was afraid that his travel speed was still trying to accommodate the shuttle.
The shuttle and the snake man slowly stopped about a kilometer away from Ryan, and then they heard the snake man say in a Naga voice, "May I ask you are Master Eresella, the legendary powerhouse of Tieflin? ”
"Hmph, what kind of fame is this guy, teacher, you must be careful. Theasy whispered to Ryan.
"It's okay, you stay where you are, I'll go and see. After Ryan said this, his arm swung very casually, and the ** division robe on his body immediately broke through the seawater, and his figure disappeared in an instant. By the time Ryan reappeared, he had already crossed the short distance of one kilometer and was standing less than ten meters away in front of the snake man.
"I've seen Master Eresella, in Lower Saldo, the head of the Lady's guard. The snake man also admires Ryan's courage in his heart, usually magicians have a certain degree of vigilance against martial arts professions, and if possible, they must definitely keep a distance from each other, and Ryan came to his side without caring about a flash, which shows that Ryan has an absolute grasp of his own safety, although Saldo's heart is a little eager to try, wanting to compete with a rare opponent like Ryan, but when he left, the master Celine Vena's advice still made him give up that idea.
After the snake man Saldo said this, he tapped the shuttle boat a few times, and then the smooth shuttle boat opened the small hatch, and out of it came a girl dressed in costume, who turned out to be Avro, a sand girl who had traveled with Ryan. Avro saw Ryan standing in front of her, her face flushed slightly, but she still performed a somewhat strange, but seemingly noble and generous courtesy: "Hello, Master Eresella. ”
Ryan nodded slightly, as a return salute to Avro, and then he spoke, "Please tell me something." ”
Avro didn't speak immediately, but glanced sideways at Saldo, who quickly backed away without hesitation, leaving Avro alone at Ryan's side in a matter of moments. Avro waited until Ryan was the only one left by her side, and then she slowly spoke: "In the previous Japanese character, Avro was very grateful for the care of the master and Sister Vanessa. I haven't seen each other for a few days, but it's like we've been separated for several years, why don't I see Sister Vanessa?
