Chapter 7: Magical Insulation

Cecilia's voice, like a fountain of sweetness, brought hope to Bartorio, who was hungry and thirsty in the desert and on the verge of despair. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At that time, almost everyone was looking at Cecilia, their future princess.

After this one thing......

Murray, who rode back to his horse and set off again with the team, didn't know why, and he always laughed from the inside out along the way.

"'Veterans don't die, they just wither. I don't know exactly what I'm trying to say, but is this trying to say that I'm not handling it properly, or is it just a sigh for Badolio? ”

"Your Royal Highness, I suddenly found that this princess is really right. Because no matter how great your ability is, you can never compare to a kind heart. Even if the other party is just an old soldier, she can apologize to the other party without hesitation, which is even rarer. And in fact, she is not wrong at all. ”

It seems that thanks to this, all the people who are accompanying him now have different eyes when they see the future princess, and they feel more respectful than before. As for what happened next...... The future princess didn't seem to be joking, and she was really interested in asking Bardolio to tell his story. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, though. Because the princess who can sympathize with the people's feelings can be a good queen in the future. ”

Murray thought about it over and over again on the road, and seemed to be full of praise for their future princess.

As for the carriage side.

The veteran Bardolio is now Cecilia's guest. It's just that because of his identity, there are still other things, so Badogio can only sit next to the coachman at this time, and then tell what he has seen.

"The country of Galera, located in the northernmost part of the highlands of the Ru River. It is the coldest place on the highlands of the Lu River. In winter, the frozen Lu River is often difficult to chisel with swords, and there is no way, so magicians become the pioneers in digging glaciers. Because they use magic, it's almost effortless. ”

"But even so, magicians seem to have powers that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, however, they also have their very weak points - their bodies are too weak, and even a magician from the south has come to our country of Galera, and most of the time has passed, and he can only lie in bed. What does this mean? Probably. ”

"Because the country of Galera is located in the northernmost part of the highlands of the Ru River, it is difficult to produce food, so most of the food is bought from other countries. Naturally, it's very restrictive, but isn't there no way? ”

"The countries that are adjacent to the country of Galera are Invergordon, Havana and Sant-Esteban, and we don't have a very good relationship with Invergordon and Havana. ”

"Princess, you mean war, Princess, please listen to my advice, it's not a good story. ”

"If the princess insists on listening, then I can only say that every war is a tragedy. But the past two or three years have been much better, but this is only on the surface. Where we can't see it, there are still undercurrents. For example, in the past two or three years, many magicians have died inexplicably in our country of Galella. ”

"Yes! In fact, you don't have to think about it to know that it must be Invergordon and Havana's hands. But so what? The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, and we can only learn how to better protect ourselves. Because the strength of Invergordon and Havana is not worse than that of Galera, but stronger. ”

"The princess is saying, why can't everyone sit down and talk about peaceful development? That's impossible, because that's a feud, and it's already in the hearts of everybody in the whole country. It is said, of course, that in the past, the countries of Calera, Invergordon, Havana, and Santo Esteban were still a unified country, and I forgot what the name was, anyway...... That was a long time ago. Just like ordinary families, there will be a situation of separation and brothers turning against each other, which is normal. ”

"You ask me what I think about this? What else can I think, I just don't want my home to be destroyed by others, relatives and friends, and bullied by others. ”

Over the course of a few days, Cecilia asked questions that went far beyond just wanting to know about Badolio's military experience. Cecilia is involved in human geography, customs, as large as the national level and as small as Bardolio's own personal opinion. And the more she did this, the more Bardogio showed his respect for Cecilia. Because Badolio thinks that Cecilia is different from other girls of the same age he knows, or even older women, Cecilia may really be a different person, and she is really suitable to be the princess of their kingdom of Calella.

"What question did the princess ask you today?" Murray called Badolio to his tent again and asked Badolio.

"Not today. Bardolio replied.

"No?" Murray frowned.

"Yes. "Bardolio.

"Why not?" wondered Murray.

"Because the princess has barely spoken today. But if you include the questions that asked, 'Where are you now?' and 'What time is it?' then there is. "Bardolio.

"And what has she been doing all day?" Murray.

"I don't know. But I think ......," Bardogio guessed herself, "probably because what she wanted to know, she had already asked." And then, what was she doing all day...... I guess it's reading. ”

Murray listened to Bardolio's words and remembered that it was true that their princess had come out of the Nehru family with only books, the books in the backpack behind her.

Taking advantage of the time when Murray was speechless, Bardogio hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked, "There is a question, I don't know if to ask it?"

Murray came back to his senses: "You say. ”

Bardogio continued: "I feel that the princess seems to be dreaming of becoming a magician, and she asks me a lot of questions about magicians, but ...... How to say it. ”

Murray: "Don't be a fuss. ”

Badolio said: "I probably disappointed her, because I seem to be talking about how weak the magician is, if you really face the magician, how to deal with it, in order to knock the magician down, I only felt after I finished speaking, I seem to be a little too carried away." ”

Murray: "Huh...... You're going a little too far, but why do you think she's a 'vision' of a magician? ”

Bardolio: "Feel it, feel it. But as far as I know, it's as if she's only reading the basics. No one is going to read the same paragraph over and over again, and again with a stutter. ”

Murray: "Then you mean ......"

Bardolio: "I mean...... Probably her favorite thing to hear was rumors about becoming a magician. ”

Murray listened to Bardolio's words, but there was a look of embarrassment on his face.

Now in their ranks, it is true that there are several apprentice magicians and magician apprentices, but they are all the secret power of the country of Galella, and they are never shown to outsiders until the critical moment, let alone how conspicuous it is to change someone to the groom's side. He couldn't just satisfy the princess's curiosity and expose their secret power to outsiders.

So......

"It's one thing to dream about magic, but it's another thing to learn it. "And as far as I know, the princess has no way of learning magic." ”

"Why?" said Bardolio.

"Do you think that after more than ten years, the Nehru family will not let her be exposed to magic at all?"
