The Prosperous Years Volume 2 The Future II
readx;
Xius was crouching on the ground, carefully collecting the tea leaves scattered on the ground. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Several snow-white absorbent cotton sheets were released on the table, and patches of emerald green tea leaves were spread out on them. Theseus stood up, carefully shaking off the dust from the tea leaves, carefully identifying their state before gently placing the tea leaves on absorbent paper.
After some hard work, Xiusi, who disregarded his image, finally rescued most of the tea leaves in one place. He was so relieved that he had just stretched his waist when the window suddenly opened silently.
A cold wind blew strangely, and although there was nothing in the field of vision, the remaining tea leaves on the ground made a subtle clattering sound, and it was clear that something was passing by.
Listening to the faint sound of stepping on his heart, Theseus's hands trembled.
He shouted angrily, and after a pause, a short figure in the room suddenly appeared! It was immediately struck into the air with a strong force. Xius pointed another volley in the air, and the figure was immediately frozen in the air, unable to go up or down, unable to move.
It was none other than the underground gnome stealthy Gregory who was anchored by Hughes. It was holding a large wine bottle in its arms, and there was a strong smell of wine coming out of its body, and its face was full of surprise, wondering why Elder Xius, who had always been elegant and calm, suddenly became angry.
Theseus glared at the underground gnomes for a long time before refocusing his gaze on the ground. As expected, the few remaining tea leaves on the ground have been trampled and crushed by the underground gnomes, and there is no possibility of cleaning up.
"Is there anything wrong with you coming here suddenly?" said Hughes, holding back his anger, staring at Gregory.
Gregory hung in the air, unable to move, and Hughes's seemingly calm voice had a chilling eerie feeling, and he felt a chill in his body. But at the mention of what he meant, Gregory immediately became excited, and he struggled for a while, but his hands and feet did not move, and he had to give up.
The underground gnome looked around mysteriously, trying to keep his voice very low, but the excitement could not be concealed no matter what: "Dear Elder Xius, I ...... I saw it! I really saw it, although I didn't understand the true meaning of what I was seeing. That's why I'm here to ask you for advice!"
"What did you see?" Xiu Si Tieqing's face had not yet softened, and his tone was still a little vicious.
"I saw the owner of Wella and the owner of the host in ......"
Hughes swooped down with lightning to cover the dwarf's mouth, and his rude movements startled Gregory again.
Hughes closed his eyes, probed his surroundings attentively, and then ran to the window and carefully closed the window, and placed two enchantments on the window and door. Only then did he flash back to Gregory's side, lowered his voice, and shouted: "What you have seen, don't miss it at all, tell me everything in order!"
In the middle of the night, the door of Straw's Prime Minister's Mansion was wide open, and Rogge's carriage slowly drove out of the Prime Minister's Mansion under the escort of a team of knights.
In the carriage, Serena sat quietly across from Rogge, her fingers tightly intertwined on her lap. This lively girl looked very melancholy at the moment. After all, she is still young, she doesn't know how to hide her thoughts, and all her emotions are revealed on her face.
Rogge pondered whether to help Straw completely remove the restriction of the abyssal rift. Although Rogge has received a lot of benefits from Straw these days, although it seems that the imperial prime minister has been unable to squeeze anything, the fat man will never believe that this powerful minister who has been in power for many years is only so much oil and water. Just by looking at the fact that he was able to find two Sacred Domain powerhouses to support the sealing magic array, he could know that he was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.
If he is not cornered, I am afraid that Straw will not want to bleed profusely. The fat man thought viciously. He kept thinking about the possibility of letting Wen Na do something in the magic array to expand the abyss gap a little more. It's just that the danger of doing so is very great, and if Wen doesn't master a fire well, his subordinates will have to be a little heavier, and he really releases Casinalas, it won't be a joke. If that happens, Straw, the biggest current political ally, will inevitably fall, and Rogge, who is still young in the empire, will not be able to face the alliance of Alexander and Pompey. Perhaps the only way out for the fat man at that time was to take advantage of his absolute superiority in the number of powerhouses in the Holy Domain to launch a brazen attack and send these two famous imperial generals to the point of no return.
But this ending is the worst of all. What does the fat man really want? not the throne, not the dominance of the continent, he just wants to rely on the power of the Asrofik Empire to fight back to the south. From this point of view, Alexander and Pompey are the pillars of the empire, and if they fall, the strength of the empire will inevitably be greatly damaged.
Now that the wars of religion have subsided, in fact the fat man's side has won a great victory. However, the political struggle is still at the level of fighting for power and suppressing dissent, and the situation is not out of control. But if the political dispute develops to the point of life and death, I am afraid that it will not be good for anyone at that time. Besides, the Emperor and Saravinge are the biggest variables in this game, how can they sit idly by and watch the situation develop to the point where the foundations of the empire are shaken?
Therefore, there must be no mistake in the squeezing of Straw. However, Straw is also an old man, and before the day of the seal, he just didn't tell Rogge about the composition of the sealing magic array. Although Wenna's magic power is much higher than that of Rogge, his magic control is not necessarily stronger than that of Rogge. It was simply impossible for him to temporarily delve into the mystery of sealing the magic array, and to do something quietly.
The lich Elgra has this ability, but it is a pity that the existence of such a powerful and evil necromantic as the lich will never see the light. And Rogge couldn't command the Lich at all.
For a while, the fat man was in a dilemma, and the corners of his forehead couldn't help but throb faintly.
"Rog......" Serena slowly raised her head, breaking the silence in the carriage.
Rog snorted, recovering from his musings, and looked at the melancholy girl in front of him, his penetrating gaze all the way into her melancholy and confused eyes. Serena was at a loss, feeling that everything she was thinking about was hidden under the calm and serene gaze of this man.
"Those two women today...... Who are you?" Serena blurted out. She has always been bold and straightforward, direct in her mind, and what she thinks in her heart, she asks it with one mouth.
Rogge smiled slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he had a pile of lies ready in his heart, and they were coherent and seamless. Deceived a noble girl like Serena who didn't know the world, he was naturally too good at it.
But before he could say anything, Serena sighed softly, "You don't have to say it, in fact, I know their relationship with you very well. And I understand what my father meant. From the time I was sensible, I knew that in the future, my marriage would be a bargaining chip for the interests of my family. A girl like me has no freedom of choice at all, and I have no chance of love or romance. The tales of knights, dragons, and princesses told by the troubadours are nothing more than legends. I've been practicing martial arts very hard, just thinking that if that day does come, I won't be helpless, at least ...... You can go and fly high. But I know better that these are all delusions. โ
Rogge sat quietly, listening to Serena talk about her thoughts. The fat man didn't expect that her very young heart turned out to contain so many things.
"However, this time, although I was still a chip in my father's hand, I ...... Iโ" Serena looked up, stared into Rogge's eyes, and finally said, "I do." โ
Rogge's smile was more gentle and kind, and he asked, "Serena, are you seventeen this year?"
"Yes. โ
"It's still early. Don't think too much about it, practice your martial arts well, I can see that Master Straw has placed very deep feelings on you. He won't use you as a political bargaining chip. Trust me, he's a good father. โ
Serena's eyes flashed with surprise and confusion, which was not the answer she was expecting.
She lowered her head and said softly, "Got it." โ
Rogge smiled: "You, don't be too careful. When it comes to bargaining chips for political marriages, Lord Straw will only be willing to give away your sister. She didn't have the demeanor of a noble woman at all, and she was really a disgrace to Lord Straw. โ
On a big tree not far from the carriage, Su, who was listening intently to the sound in the carriage, was shocked and almost fell off the tree. She was unsure if Rogge had said this to her. However, in her feelings, Rogge was very weak at the moment, and his magic power definitely did not exceed level ten, how did he find out?
Su hesitated for a moment, remembering the last bizarre encounter in the Rogge Mansion, and finally didn't dare to follow it anymore. When the carriage passed, she somersaulted lightly and landed on the roof of the house beside the street, trying to retreat. But as soon as she turned around, her face immediately changed drastically, and she almost exclaimed!
I don't know when, there is a peerless swordsman behind Su. Her short hair fluttered in the night breeze, and she was wearing a short robe with wide sleeves, which was blown tightly to her body by the wind, and her graceful posture was graceful and heroic. And under the blue light of the full moon, the long sword in her hand radiated a blue starlight, which was extremely dazzling.
Su is good at night fighting, even in absolute darkness, Sue's night eyes are not hindered. But now, for some reason, she just can't see the swordsman's face clearly. Maybe it's because she has her back to the blue moon, Su comforted herself.
Suddenly, a strange instinct hit her, and Sue somehow felt the swordsman's gaze keep falling on her chest.
"It looks like it's tighter. If you put on the trunk now, it will definitely be more like. "Swordsman's way. Her seemingly playful tone was full of Sensen's murderous intent.
This sentence was like a thunderbolt hitting Su, she finally remembered and exclaimed, "It was you that day?"
The swordsman seemed to be smiling, and said: "Yanjing has not been peaceful recently, you are a girl walking around at will in the middle of the night, in case you break into something that you shouldn't go to again, I'm afraid it won't be very safe!"
At this time, Serena in the carriage was completely unaware of the changes outside, and just bowed her head and said nothing. Rogge's ears twitched slightly, revealing a slight smile.
Serena seemed to muster up her courage, and suddenly raised her head to meet Rogge's gaze.
"I know that a woman like me, born into a noble family, cannot decide her future at all. But I still want to try. My father did treat me very well, he asked me what I thought beforehand, and I ...... Yes, of course. Mr. Rogge, may I make a request for you? โ
Rogge owed a debt and smiled, "Just say it, of course I'm willing to serve you." โ
This was still not the answer Serena expected, but she bravely continued: "If in the near future, my father loses power, I hope ...... Will you be able to continue ...... Marriage ......"
"Master Straw won't lose ground. Rogge comforted her, and smiled again, "If Master Straw really proposes a marriage contract, I will do it no matter what." โ
When Serena heard the last sentence, her eyes finally lit up.
Rog's carriage had gone all the way, but Sue stood still, unable to move. The swordsman on the opposite side was exuding an astonishing murderous aura, covering her whole body from afar. Su was only afraid that if he moved, he would immediately become a victim of that terrifying long sword. And the more she looked, the more sure she was that the sword was the world-famous artifact Blue Falling Starry Sky.
At this moment, an old and majestic voice suddenly sounded behind the swordsman: "Yanjing has not been peaceful recently, you are a girl walking around at will in the middle of the night, I'm afraid it won't be very safe!"
Su was overjoyed when she saw the majestic figure rising behind the swordsman, and as soon as she flipped her wrist, she immediately had a dark black long knife, her whole body arched, staring at the swordsman's movements.
The swordsman couldn't help but burst into blue starlight, obviously concentrating on the fighting energy to resist the amazing fighting energy of the old man behind him.
Androni was not afraid of the old man behind her, but with the addition of a Su and that long knife that was not of the highest quality, the situation was not good.
At this time, a long laugh suddenly sounded at the end of the long street: "Yanjing has really not been peaceful lately! You old thing is walking around at will in the middle of the night, I'm afraid it's even more unsafe!"
At the beginning of the laughter, the handsome Miro had just appeared at the corner of Long Street, and what he was holding in his hand was a huge hammer with a hammer head nearly one meter thick!
In the midst of a long laugh, Miro took a step, and when his footsteps fell, he appeared in front of the old man! The giant hammer with a flashing purple light with a faint scream almost smashed into the old man's face in an instant!
A storm of vindictive spirit that is enough to level an entire neighborhood has risen!
In just an instant, the old man's violent coughing sound kept ringing out, and he quickly went away!
Su Shang was shocked, and Miro's figure had appeared behind her.
She collapsed.
It wasn't until this point that Miro's long laugh stopped.
Mirรณ threw an object to Androni, and Lang smiled, "This is my gift to the beautiful Miss Floya, please pass it on!"
By the time Mirรณ disappeared at the end of the long street, the clear voice still echoed in the night sky.
Androni was stunned for a moment before she lowered her head and looked at the gift in her hand.
It was a rose sealed in blue ice.
