Chapter 303: Questions and Answers
Ryan came to his senses suddenly, he looked up, saw the banter in the elven queen Freya's eyes as blue as the sea, smiled faintly, and replied, "Well, well, Your Majesty, this seems to be my habit, in fact this is not the first time for me."
"Oh, what about your first time?"
"Hehe, maybe I didn't care about a lot of things when I was young, I remember a few years ago I was with my wife and Alendor at a banquet from His Majesty the Human King Fernando, and that time I was also distracted. Ryan spread his hands and said, "It seems that my energy can easily be diverted in fairly formal situations, which is indeed strange to me as a magician. ”
"Haha! That's funny. Freya smiled and said, "Well, don't think of my invitation as a boring political entertainment, just as an exchange between friends, let's talk about some light topics." First of all, please call me by my name Freya, not some Queen, and likewise, I will call you Ryan instead of the boring title of human envoys. ”
"I'm honored. Ryan nodded: "So, Freya, can you tell me why your behavior, well, seems to want the elves to abandon their former lives of seclusion and go out into the world of strife?"
"Then why don't you spend your life in a quiet hometown town?" Fria didn't answer directly, but asked Ryan in a rhetorical tone.
"I don't know!" said Ryan honestly, "maybe I'm not willing to be dull, or maybe I've heard so many legends of those heroes that my heart is starting to get restless?" Perhaps, well, I guess I wish I could get stronger. ”
"Stronger?"
"Yes, Freya. Since I was a child, I have wanted to have great power, but not for the so-called to conquer, to dominate, but to protect, I hope that I have enough power to let the people around me live the life they like and choose, and this power can only be obtained from endless adventures. ”
"I kind of understand your feelings, Ryan. So what do you think is the biggest crisis you've faced since you left your hometown? If you don't get through that crisis, will you regret it? At the very least, you'll lose the opportunity to protect your loved ones and friends forever. ”
"No ifs, Freya. I don't like to think, hey, what might have happened if I had a different choice or a different approach to an adventure back then. Ryan shook his fingers slightly, and he didn't feel restrained at all in the face of the noble elf queen: "You know, if my teacher Galib didn't teach me martial arts, then now, most of me am still a hunter like my father in my hometown, entering the Hengduan Mountains all day long, hunting all kinds of powerful magical beasts." ”
"Isn't there no danger when hunting monsters? No, that's not the case, Freya. I don't know why, Ryan was facing the elf queen he had just met, and he had the feeling that he had known each other for many years in his heart, and he actually said his inner thoughts without reservation.
"As a hunter, I may only be able to protect my parents and my wife. However, as the overlord of Cassano, the Magister Lane, I want to protect my people, as well as the tens of millions of people in the imperial capital under my wife's rule. In the same way, under my rule, there will be countless husbands who will try their best to protect their parents and wives, and they, as true men, will never give up their responsibilities because of my existence, because that is their innate responsibility, a responsibility that cannot be shirked. ”
"Ryan, these words of yours actually came out of the mouth of another male human many years ago. Freya said lightly: "Later, he obtained the strongest support of our elves and dwarves to establish a huge human empire. It is a pity that his successor, the day after his death, tore up his promise to us. ”
"I know. Ryan fully understood who the Elven Queen was referring to, and he generously sat down on the chair made of countless green plants coiled across from Freya, and said with a smile: "So I never made any promises to you, because I can only guarantee that my own heart will not change, but the lifespan of any creature is limited, even if it is a dragon that can survive for tens of thousands of years." ”
"And how do you make sure that your successor doesn't go against your will?"
"I can't guarantee it, and I won't guarantee it. Ryan smiled at the Elven Queen Freya, and said, "As I said, I don't like to dictate the fate of others, so who am I to ask my current people to accept my appointed successor? ”
"Isn't this child's play? Ryan, any overlord, must have a certain desire to control, to have the desire to control everything in the palm of his hand, this is the driving force for them to move forward, and it is also the driving force for the movement of a huge collection of forces. ”
"You're right, Freya. The smile on Ryan's face did not diminish in the slightest, and he seemed to have thought about the other party's question countless times, so he immediately replied: "Actually, the reason why I laughed just now was because I remembered my wife's evaluation of me, but I didn't expect you to think exactly the same as hers." ”
"Evaluation?"
"Yes, Freya. Fani once told me that I wasn't a good overlord because I was too easy-going. If it were Fernando back then, even if it was her father Luke, Cassano would have been reorganized into an incomparably strong pure gold shield, instead of Cassano, where there are still three different forces fighting openly and secretly. ”
"But why do that?" Ryan said calmly, "Even if Fernando's successor fulfilled his promise to the elves and dwarves, could it guarantee that this empire would truly rule the entire continent? No, that would be impossible, because even after the undead army swept the continent 200 years ago, the people of this continent were still not ready to live together in the same country, obey the same laws, and live together." ”
"Whether it's Fernando City in the north or Mochizuki City in the south, although everyone is human and uses the continental lingua franca of human beings, their living habits are completely different, and their ideas are completely different, not to mention that such a big country and such a big continent, even in a family, there will be differences, right?"
"So, Freya, tell me, why do you have to use means to eradicate dissidents, why is your voice necessarily correct, why does this continent have to be united under one power, and then divide again when the power is no longer there and continue to fight each other?"
"I ...... I don't know what to say about you, Ryan, aren't you afraid that if I hear this, it will have a negative impact on the alliance between humans and elves? ”
"Actually, that won't happen, Freya, you won't, because you still know that some powerful guy is waiting in the other world for irreconcilable infighting among us, and I won't let that happen, because it's my responsibility, as the overlord of Cassano. ”
"You also mentioned the demigod Lich Cons, so you are so careless, aren't you afraid of it coming back?
"Freya, I am not a god, and I will not be confident enough to become the ruler, conqueror, and protector of the entire continent, and it is the responsibility of all the creatures of the entire continent to defend against the attacks of the demigod lich, not me alone, which is one of the reasons why I refuse to accept the 'Guardian of the Earth' in the hands of Teacher Dranay. ”
"If I had a choice, I would like to be an artifact, an artifact strong enough to deter all hostility and prying eyes, and in times of peace, I would live quietly in seclusion, enjoying happy days with my beloved and friends, rather than interfering with others. And when the crisis comes, I will play my part and deal the most fatal blow to the enemy, letting them know that the aggressor will inevitably pay a price, so heavy that they simply cannot accept it. ”
"Then what if you can't defeat it?" Freya was completely attracted by Ryan's novel point of view, she sat on the handle of Ryan's chair in a daze, but she didn't realize that her posture was quite ambiguous with the other party, through a short thought, Freya found the biggest problem in Ryan's entire wish, so she asked directly.
"So I have never changed my heart to become stronger, and I have never stopped my pursuit of strength, of course, all of this depends on my own efforts to obtain. Ryan didn't notice that Freya's posture was already a bit of a lover's relationship with herself, because usually except for Faraz, even Vivien would not sit coquettishly on the handle of her chair.
"To be honest, I don't know if you're right or wrong, but I'd love to know the final answer. Freya suddenly noticed that her posture was inappropriate, but she didn't immediately change this ambiguous movement, but gently brushed the hair around her ear with her hand, other than that, she still maintained her previous appearance, but if you look closely, you can see that her eyes that were as clear as the sea faintly cast a certain charming gaze, which makes it easy to think about it and can't extricate yourself.
Freya's small movements also made Ryan realize that the distance between them was quite close, which was definitely not the distance that a human ambassador and the elf queen should keep, and such a close distance also allowed Ryan to see Freya's appearance completely.
The careless Ryan found out that the elf queen Freya had already changed her outfit, compared with the nobility of the previous queen, the current Freya wore a purple tunic dress, which showed her charm even more, but what made Ryan's mouth dry the most was that Freya's tunic dress was very similar to Catherine's purple magic robe in style, and Freya's dress was full of countless hollows, from an artistic point of view, this kind of hollowing with countless patterns on the long skirt perfectly set off Her Majesty's slender body and white and flawless skin, but all this was seen in Ryan's eyes, but another hidden shadow appeared in his mind.
"Catherine?Freya?" Ryan's mind was also vaguely cloudy at this moment, he looked strangely at the figures of Catherine and Freya in front of him, and then watched in amazement as the two beautiful shadows slowly merged together, and finally, a Catherine dressed in Freya's costume stood in front of him.
Although Ryan saw the enemy who gritted his teeth at the mention of it, his heart was quite peaceful, and he didn't feel like a big fight at all, which made him vaguely feel that something was strange in his heart, but he didn't have much time to think about what was wrong, because Catherine spoke.
"Am I pretty?" The voice was completely Catherine's voice, Ryan was confident that he would not hear it wrong, but he couldn't imagine how this powerful female mage could appear here, his brain had completely turned into a state of chaos now, and he couldn't think of anything else except for some of the most primitive instincts of human beings.
At this moment, Ryan's pupils have completely diverged eyes, Catherine standing in front of him seems to be the master of all living beings, people can't help but go crazy for her, her words can make tens of thousands of warriors sacrifice their lives for her, can destroy all powerful enemies for her, but such a powerful master is standing in front of him like this, and there is even a faint sense of invitation in his eyes.
Ryan gently raised his hand and slowly stroked it, the place where he touched it was so smooth that he couldn't help but moan in his heart, Ryan had no way of describing this feeling of bathing in pleasure from head to toe in words, the only thing he could do was to keep stroking, and hope that this feeling would never stop.
Everything seemed to be going on in order, and Ryan's hand slowly followed Catherine's smooth face to her full chest, and his dexterous fingertips inadvertently touched the meniscus on Catherine's chest, causing Catherine to gasp for a while, filling the entire dormitory with ambiguous air.
The ambiguous air, the fiery passion, the smooth skin, and the inviting look in the eyes, all seemed to make a normal male human unrefined, but Ryan's movements stopped stiffly, and his divergent pupils began to slowly concentrate in Freya's surprised gaze, and in a few seconds, Ryan awakened from the powerful natural charm of the elf queen.
Elf Queen Freya's body stood slightly stiff in front of Ryan, she never thought that someone could break free from their natural charm on their own, it was like a human being who lived happily in this world, and suddenly one day found out that he was actually just living in a dream, and then found a way out of the dream by himself, the difficulty is not much different from an ordinary person's promotion to become a god.
"Natural charm?" Ryan's tone was as flat as before, but anyone could tell his anger in it.
"Yes, natural allure. Freya didn't explain much, just answered his question head-on.
"Now, I'm supposed to ask you why?" Ryan said lightly.
The Elven Queen Freya shook her head and said, "No, in fact, for many years, you are the first human to experience such a powerful dream and awaken on your own, so if you ask that, you are also the first to ask such a question. ”
"Is this also the rule of the elves?"
"No!"
"Looks like that's all I can ask, why?"
In fact, every elven queen has been preparing this answer for many years, but for thousands of years, I am the first person to say it. Freya, the elven queen, smiled wryly and said, "I hope you can listen to me tell this long story." ”
"My patience has always been good. A faint smile appeared on Ryan's face, but Freya knew that this was not a laugh at all, but some kind of terrible omen, she believed that if her explanation could not satisfy the other party, then the human mage in front of her would definitely explode without hesitation, although the moonlight brooch she was carrying on her chest could protect her from leaving safely, but Freya did not know how long the artifact left by the moonlight goddess could protect the entire elf.
You must know that the human magician sitting opposite Freya, from the beginning of learning magic to now being able to release the forbidden spell, it only took seven or eight years, judging from the hundred-year-old lifespan of human beings, perhaps this Ryan magician only needs three or five years to step into that step, and all the powerhouses who have reached the legendary realm have naturally gotten rid of many restrictions of their own race, such as lifespan. So Freya couldn't imagine that ten or twenty years later, a powerful demigod mage would once again come to Demon Moon City to take revenge on what she had done today.
"Do you know about the Moonlight Sacrifice?"
"I've heard of it, it seems to be the leader of the elves who commands the army in war, and I remember that among the seven heroes of the past, there was the moonlight sacrifice of the elves Moon Shadow. ”
"Actually, the last queen of our elven clan was Lord Moon Shadow......"
