539. Chapter 539: Refusal
"This ...... It's a very clever magic!" William immediately made a judgment in his heart - yes, magic. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info is a special, supernatural ability gained by believing in the Lord of Radiance. But not any priest of the Lord of Light can acquire and exercise this ability. It's as if William's chaplains, or even their bishops, couldn't do that.
The usual holy light spell is to stimulate the body's own recovery function to achieve a rapid recovery effect - this is very useful for flesh and organs. But not for the treatment of bones.
If the broken bones are not properly connected, simply casting a healing spell will only result in additional bone growth. It is not good for the injured person.
On the other hand, this kind of restoration is different, this kind of restoration is close to achieving the effect of reversing time and space, and perfectly restoring the injured bones. There will be no after-effects or problems at all. In this case, in such an age, because of the depravity of faith, because the vast majority of priests are addicted to power and lust. Therefore, like this, there are very few teachers who can perform high-level restoration arts. Not to mention, she is so understated, so relaxed, so casual.
With just a gentle wave of your hand, it's all done. It's just, nothing short of a miracle.
The intense pressure that hung over William also disappeared with her smile. He got back to his feet, and this time he didn't attack her as recklessly as he had just done. William had now understood how terrible it was to be for a woman standing in front of him with a calm smile right now. It was a terrifying force that was completely helpless in the face of the paladin.
The trick she had just cast, which made William feel a great deal of pressure, and the trick she used to defuse William's sword stab, was definitely the power of magic - perhaps the black magic that should theoretically have been retired from the stage of history, or the new alchemy that alchemists liked to circulate the most. And in addition to that, she has performed excellent magic skills.
It has both magic and black magic. Two theoretically absolutely incompatible forces. All this has put a veil of mystery on this woman.
"Are you wondering why I know so much, or rather, strange about my strength?" the other party's calm and calm appearance made William feel very unhappy. If he could, he really wanted to punch the guy in the face, but considering the difference in combat power between the two sides. William held back.
Forget about the previous attack. But to do this after understanding the true strength of the other party is completely self-inflicted.
"Uh-huh-hmm...... Of course, of course, you don't understand the greatness of the Normandy family. But it's not your fault. In fact, it seems that the vast majority of people can't understand why the Hereford family has such a strong skill and fighting spirit. Even in this era when the level of fighting spirit of almost all people has generally declined, there can still be powerful warriors at the level of thousands or even 10,000 enemies......
The House of de Normandy is just like you. β
What the lady said next was a bit of a reshaping of William's three views.
"Yes, the de Normandy family, like the von Hereford family, has a special and extraordinary gift. Because we belong to one ancestor at the same time. The most powerful family of the classical Gothic imperial era. The Jossara family - we are the royal descendants of the classical Gothic Empire, my children. β
Still no answer. There was no surprise, curiosity, and reduced hostility as the lady had thought. William simply doesn't get in the oil and salt. He was as calm and plain as ever. As if he would not be surprised by what the lady said.
"Don't you believe it?" she couldn't help but ask.
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. William said calmly, "Because I don't care about these things at all." β
"Okay...... Maybe there's something wrong with my approach. Lady Maria sighed: "Or do you have a grudge against me because of what happened before?" Do you think that I betrayed you and your father, so you don't want to accept me?"
"Again, I don't think that matters. β
After confirming that he could not hurt this person, and that this person did not seem to want to hurt himself for some reason, William calmed down again, and then looked at the lady calmly and said.
β...... Oh?" the lady wondered when William said this, "So, what do you mean, my child?"
Ignoring the other party's "my child", this is a word that makes people feel uncomfortable just by sounding like it. William pulled a chair and sat down, "May I think this is a negotiation, ma'am?"
William's words made the other party feel very uncomfortable.
Maybe it's because the other party still regards William as his own child, and he feels uncomfortable when he hears that his child is so businesslike.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, his plan has been discovered. William didn't act as she thought he would, so she felt uncomfortable.
No matter what kind of discomfort it is, it's fine. William doesn't care.
"Why do you-"
"- Well, if you have something to negotiate with me, then say so. William interrupted her: "For the history of antiquity, the secret text of the family. I don't care about your relationship with me. The worries, the pain, or the feeling that you have been betrayed or something, are all just your illusions.
There's only one thing I have to say, ma'am. I see what you mean. Family affection is your weapon, and so is secret. You're using all this against me to get something out of me. That's the deal. Before the transaction, it is only natural that we should negotiate to determine the price of both parties and the items to be exchanged.
It's a shame that from the very beginning, you didn't think about trading fairly with me. First of all, I want to impress me with family affection. Then there is the attempt to lure me into being fooled with the so-called secret...... Or do you think I'm young and cheating, right? If that's the case, then I'm sorry to disappoint you.
Maybe I'm young, but at the end of the day, I'm an emperor. Saying this, William's momentum became very terrifying. Even though he had almost no leverage, he overwhelmed the lady in an instant: "So, none of this is of any use to meβor if you can, you can try mind manipulation, hypnosis, or something like that." If you can succeed, then whatever you want. But if it doesn't work out, then let's be realistic and take what we're going to get, and whatever. Then a fair negotiation is done. β
"......," William said. Finally took off the feeling that the other party was calm and calm, as if everything was in hand. The other party's face finally became ugly - of course, only for a moment.
"Ah, I knew it wouldn't work. She smiled and said, "But it's only natural to think about it, after all, you think ...... It's so good. If you are only attracted by the so-called family affection, or the so-called secret, and then obey me, I will look down on you. My baby. β
"Say whatever you want. William said calmly.
"Well, good. Since you're not interested in all this, let's have a good round of negotiations. The other party calmed down, and then said to William: "Although, even if it is a negotiation, you don't have many hole cards." When he said this, the other party once again burst out with strong self-confidence and a very terrifying momentum. This also made William wonder again.
Why? Whoever the person really is. However, since the de Normandy family already had such outstanding talents, why did Victoria, who had a half-barrel of water, come forward and run around?
But of course, none of this has anything to do with William.
When facing this woman, who is not weaker than him in terms of personal strength or momentum, William feels a lot of pressure. Even in the most optimistic scenario, William didn't think he could easily deal with her.
But Victoria is different.
Although many people in the outside world regard Victoria as a first-rate, even better ruler than William. But William knew very well that she was still far from it.
"So, this thing...... Maybe it's because she can't deal with me, so she did it herself?, or maybe Victoria is just an active puppet, and it's the lady named Maria who actually really makes a difference?" William thought to himself. At the same time, the feeling of vigilance in my heart became greater.
If he could, he really wanted to leave in the shortest possible time. Then he returned to his own army of half a million. William would have really done such a thing if he hadn't known that it was useless - yes, of no use to such a powerful and terrible man. If she wanted to kill anyone, it didn't matter how many people protected her, just like William now.
He wanted to kill most of the people in this world, even a king, and he could do it. Only when he really reached this stage did he understand why so many people were afraid of his father back then, and they were afraid to death.
For this reason, William is very, very confident, and even a little proud, because he has the ability to manipulate the fate of the vast majority of people in this world.
Only today, when the power met the greater power, and it did not work in the face of this greater power, William finally felt the anger and helplessness of those who feared his father, or those who feared his power.
Of course, these anger and helplessness are also meaningless.
