At night, the moon replaces the sun during the day and hangs at the highest point in the sky.

Tonight's moon was neither round nor bent, like a plate missing a corner, and was obscured from time to time by floating dark clouds, but soon revealed the corners and corners, and sprinkled the soft moonlight on the earth, covering the earth with a layer of silver frost.

At this time, people are not yet asleep, but there are fewer pedestrians on the streets.

The Franzel Villa was the same, no longer as lively as it was during the day, but showed a somewhat peaceful atmosphere, except for the patrol guards who were walking around, and the rest of the people had finished their dinners and washes and returned to their rooms.

Rieger was also in his room.

Next to him was Yuro Ellie, who was in a hundred years of energy now, unlike during the day.

He himself sat at a wooden table in the center of the room, and on the table in front of him were various treasures.

Yuloelle was curiously pulling at the treasures, sometimes picking up a cane and a scepter and playing with it, sometimes touching a gem or a necklace, and the appearance was not so much a woman who felt her eyes light up at the sight of fine jewelry and ornaments, but a little creature that felt high in emotion at the sight of something shiny.

Rig also allowed the vampire queen to pull her funeral goods there, and was caught in a difficult choice.

"Which one should I choose as a gift?"

That's right, Rig was picking out a gift for Yuri.

The treasures on the table were all ancient treasures he had brought out of Yulo Ellie's tomb, and he had already used identification magic to identify them, and he knew their effects well.

But even so, trying to pick out one of these ancient treasures and give it to Yuri still stumped Riege.

No way.

"That eldest lady doesn't seem to lack anything, does she?"

It was only at this point that Rieger discovered the problem.

As the head of the Franzel family, the Marquis of the Kingdom of Genus, and the chief magician and strategic magician of the court, Yuri is indeed not short of magic items.

She had entered the kingdom's treasure vault and selected the secret treasure there, so she didn't have no secret treasure, at least she had an ancient secret treasure of the same level as Raven's rebel sword and Monis' armor.

"I think I've heard her mention it once before, and she said she chose a staff, right?"

The most important weapon for a mage is, of course, the staff, just as a swordsman cannot live without a sword, and a good mage cannot do without a staff.

Therefore, with a rare opportunity to enter the kingdom's treasure vault, Yuri will naturally be more inclined to choose a powerful staff as her main weapon.

Although Yuri didn't elaborate on the power of the staff, since it was selected from the kingdom's treasure vault, the secret treasure was certainly not much inferior to the god Merloai of Rige.

"In that case, the secret treasure of the staff can be eliminated, right?"

Rig tossed aside the large and small staffs, scepters, short staffs, and long staffs, and left them to Yuloelle to play with.

Then, after a moment's thought, Rig set aside the gems, crystals, and other magical items.

"It's rare to give a gift, it's better to give a secret treasure that can improve your strength."

Some of those gems or crystals are magic items, and some are pure magic materials, which can only be used when necessary, and cannot effectively improve the strength of the bearer himself.

Therefore, Li Ge also excluded them, and wanted to pick a secret treasure that could increase Yuri's strength and equip her with it.

"That's all for the rest, right?"

Li Ge looked at the remaining necklaces, rings, amulets or belts, bracers and other equipment, and finally excluded those belts, bracers, talismans and other treasures.

There is no other reason, as Yuli's rare bosom friend, Li Gedu has been friends with the other party for so long, so naturally he will not know the preferences of the eldest lady.

These belts, bracers, talismans and other equipment, Yuri has never worn them, and I have made it clear that I am not used to using them.

Therefore, Rieger excluded these as well, leaving only necklaces, rings, bracelets and other accessories that are more popular with girls.

Then, Rig was again picking and choosing, eliminating all the treasures that were of little use to the magician.

"Necklaces are excluded as well."

Li suddenly remembered that Yuri seemed to be wearing a necklace on her body, and that necklace seemed to be a rare magic prop, so he took out the necklace and handed it to Yuro Ali on the side, so that she took it curiously.

"It looks like you can only give rings or bracelets."

It was only at this time that Rieger felt that the choice had become less difficult.

The remaining secret treasures such as rings or bracelets should be more suitable for Yuri.

But even if there is only a ring or bracelet left, there are still many choices that Li Ge can make.

"Which one should I choose?"

Rieger, who had never seriously chosen a gift for a girl, looked at the remaining dozen rings and several bracelets, and rarely entered a state of difficulty in choosing.

Suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded from Riege's body.

“？”

Attracted by the voice, Yuro Ellie couldn't help but turn a pair of ruby eyes, put down the same blood-red gem in her hand, and looked at Rige.

"...... this?"

Rieg also came back to his senses from the onset of difficulty in choosing, first stunned, and then as if he remembered something, he took out an item from his body.

It was a magic crystal.

It was Riege's communication crystal, which rarely came in handy.

At this time, this communication magic crystal was emitting a faint light and emitting a pleasant sound.

There is no doubt that this is a sign that someone contacted Rig through the communication crystal.

"Who?"

Li Ge felt suspicious for a while, but he still channeled the magic power into the magic crystal in the same way as he opened the communication magic crystal, and took up the contact.

In the next second, a voice that surprised Li Ge appeared in the communication crystal.

"Good evening, Lord Rige."

It's a very crisp, very nice female voice, like the cry of a lark.

Rieg naturally knew who the owner of this voice was.

"St. Charia?"

Rieger let out a sigh of surprise.

Yes.

The owner of this voice who used the communication crystal to contact Rig is the leader of the Duke's faction, the talented daughter of the Duke of Cordelion's family, and the eldest lady of the Duke's family, who has already become a tactical magician at a young age——— St. Charlia Cordelion.

"Long time no see."

Rig put away his surprised expression and greeted the other party.

But this seems to make the other party feel a little confused.

"How long has it been?" Saint Charlia chuckled and said, "It doesn't seem like a long time, does it?" ”

Indeed, from St. Charia's point of view, the last time she and Rig had met in the mead restaurant was just a month ago.

Of course, from Rige's point of view, it was true that he hadn't heard Saint Charia's voice for a long time.

After that meeting, Rig went to the world of the undead for five months, and then to the fairy kingdom of Hearsay Britain, where he stayed for three months, and with the time spent on the continent of Acaccia, he hadn't heard St. Charia's voice for almost a year.

That's why he said that he hadn't seen him for a long time.

However, this kind of thing, Rieg naturally will not explain.

"It's not been a long time for Miss Saint-Charia, but I've been to a lot of places and experienced a lot of things in the past few days, and as far as I can see, it's been a long time."

Rig said this calmly, causing Saint Charia to laugh and groan.

"That's right, Lord Rige has experienced a lot of things not only to the Mepros Territory these days, but also to the neutral zone."

This statement made Riege's voice also meaningful.

"Miss Saint-Charlia is really concerned about my whereabouts."

Don't blame Rieger for saying that.

Leave aside the matter of going to the territory of Mepros, after all, Rig went there by boat and carriage, and with the energy of the Cordelion family, it is naturally impossible to grasp Rieger's whereabouts, not to mention that Rig has made a lot of noise in the territory of Mepros.

But the matter of the neutral zone, Li Ge didn't tell anyone other than Yuri, and he originally returned to the territory of Mepros directly with the [portal], and then directly passed through the border defense line through teleportation magic, arrived in the neutral zone under unknown conditions, and went to Sinyer.

This incident happened recently, and the whole process was only a few days, and the incident that Li Ge made in the main hall of Sinyele City may not have been reported back to the Kingdom of Jinas.

But St. Charlia already knew, and it was conceivable how much the Duke of Cordelion's family paid much attention to him.

"Now, people who don't care about Lord Rige's whereabouts probably don't exist in the upper echelons of the entire kingdom, right?" Saint Charlia was very calm, and said, "Even if I didn't pay attention, the people in the family would take the initiative to do it, and if I asked a few words when I remembered it, they would tell me endlessly." ”

In fact, it was the son of the duke, St. Nidol, who was evaluated as the best candidate for the next king, who had been keeping an eye on Rige's whereabouts.

Especially after Rig defeated Raven and rumored that he had mastered incredible spatial magic, St. Nidol's attention to Rig had risen to the highest level.

St. Charlia really hadn't given any instructions on this, and hadn't paid much attention to it, but even if she didn't do anything, her overly good brother would tell her about it.

This contact was actually instructed by St. Nidol, otherwise St. Charlia would not have taken the initiative to disturb Rige.

It's not that I don't want to

In fact, Saint Charlia really wanted to have a relationship with Rigra, to connect with each other, so that she could stimulate her rival (self-righteousness).

It's a pity that Li Ge soon left the royal capital and ran outside, and he was out of the house, and Saint Charlia couldn't have anything to do with the other party to contact the relationship, so the matter was put on hold.

It wasn't until this time, when St. Nidol's side confirmed the news of Rige's return to the royal capital, that St. Charlia contacted Rige.

It's just that this time it's not all about connecting feelings.

"Say it." Li Ge asked very directly: "What is the matter with me?" ”

Regardless of what to do in the Three Treasures Palace, Rig didn't think that St. Charlia would talk to him casually at this point in time.

But this time, it didn't have nothing to do with Rieger.

"Her Royal Highness Liz has already entered the palace, right?" "She's not coming back, is she?" said St. Charia. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lige's eyes suddenly flickered.

“…… Something went wrong? ”

Rieger uttered this in a cold tone that few others had ever heard.

“…… Pretty much. ”

Saint Charlia seemed to be shocked by Rige's tone, but she still adjusted her mentality and responded to Rige.

"I just received some information from my side that something happened in the palace today."

Saint Charlia straightened her tone and spoke.

"Her Royal Highness Liz has been summoned to the palace by His Majesty the King, and has completed the audience between the kings."

"Your Majesty, after seeing Her Royal Highness Liz, is said to have immediately sent him back from the left and right, as if he was going to do something."

"After that, Her Royal Highness Liz was placed under house arrest by His Majesty the King himself and was not allowed to leave the palace."

This is clearly information that has just been obtained, and the information is full of uncertainties, and there is only a brief retelling of the facts.

But that's enough.

"House ......"

Rig was silent for a moment before speaking.

"I don't know about this, it's a shame that he dared to do it."

Originally, Rieg thought that Hemmulimp should not be unfavorable to Liz and did not dare to do anything to her.

Now it seems that he was naïve.

"That...... You calm down first. ”

St. Charlia seemed to have some danger in Rige's tone, and said with a sneer.

"It's just house arrest, huh? Didn't do anything too much? It must have been His Majesty's scruples about you that he did this, right? ”

Three uncertain tone words were used in a row, and it is conceivable that Saint Charlia did not expect that Rige would be the reaction now.

"Don't worry, I'm calm." Rig said this, his tone was indeed calm, and he said to Saint Charia, "Why? What was the reason for his house arrest of Liz? ”

"Our guys are still investigating." Saint Charia considered her words and said with some caution, "Brother means that we should inform you of this first, so that you can be prepared. ”

"Okay." Li Ge said happily: "Thank you brother for help, I will remember this time." ”

"I'll tell him."

Saint Charia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the purpose of this contact had been achieved.

Wouldn't St. Nidor signal St. Charlia to contact Rige and tell him about it?

"We'll have people expedite the investigation and find out as soon as possible why His Majesty suddenly did such a thing."

St. Charlia told Rige so.

However......

"No need."

Rieg said lightly.

"My people, I'll pick them up myself."
