Chapter 267: Returning Home

The few days of staying in the Snow Shirt Palace were sweet and happy days for Duke, and he even wanted to stay a little.

But he couldn't stay, not to mention that there were people he wanted to see waiting for him in Heijiaohedi.

He also has the burden of changing the fate of this world, and the Duke Star given by the goddess Nyx saved his life, and he has to repay this kindness.

And if you want to change the world, it is only possible to stand on the big stage of the Seven Towers Federation.

"I'll come back to see you often." Duke made a promise to Princess Tiffany.

"If you don't come to see me, I'll go to the Seven Towers Federation to find you." Princess Tiffany wore her hair in a ponytail and changed into a knight's outfit once more, outlining her graceful figure in leather armor, "Duke Sage who took my first kiss!" ”

Duke lightly kissed Princess Tiffany on the forehead, and then took a step back: "Remember the Dou Qi running route I taught you, you can cultivate as soon as possible in Duke Leap, and Duke Flying Feather needs to be explored for a long time." Of course, with your identity, it is not difficult to obtain these two blood contract secrets of the Dou Qi martial arts. ”

"And what about my arcane mage talent?" Princess Tiffany asked.

"Let it be."

He can't say this kind of thing, even if he can't say it, otherwise the family established by the arcane master would have monopolized the class of the arcane master.

But in fact, even those big nobles, trying their best, can only slightly promote the junior and the hope of being promoted to the arcane mage. Most of the truly gifted arcane mages often come from the ordinary class, which can be regarded as spiritual elusiveness.

For example, of the eight 8-Ring Radiant Moon Arcane Masters of the Seven Towers Federation, only one of them came from an old aristocratic family, and the other seven all climbed up from the bottom.

Either he was given the title of nobility, or he echoed the policy of no longer canonizing nobles.

"Hopefully, when we meet again, I'll be an arcane mage." Princess Tiffany held her head high and looked deeply at Duke.

She is a smart person, and knowing that whether or not she can become an arcane mage is too crucial to change her fate.

Even if she holds the title of the Third Princess of the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice, she still has to follow the iron rules of the world dominated by arcane mages.

Even her father and mother, who were crowned kings and queens, were still tirelessly searching for spiritual mysteries.

Without the power of the arcane mage, how can you rule a country?

"Yes, I'm sure you have the talent." With a wave of his hand, Duke turned and walked out of the waiting hall of the flight station.

Outside, Serthas had finished saying goodbye to the Grand Duke and his wife.

Guards of honor lined up on both sides to bid farewell to Serthas and Duke with a solemn ceremony - this is the highest level of national honor in the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice, and the Mentor of the Radiant Moon Arcana of the Federation of the Seven Towers, even if it is just passing by, the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice must be treated with great honor.

"Duke, are you all over?" Sel's smiling face, he looked at Duke and Princess Tiffany, and walked over one after the other.

"Yes, goodbye already." Duke bowed generously to the Grand Duke and his wife, "Thank you to the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess, as well as Princess Tiffany's hospitality, for the hospitality of the past few days, I really don't want to go to you." ”

"Where is the trouble, you, the most dazzling genius of the Seven Towers Federation, are honored to come to our Ice Shattering Grand Duchy."

Grand Duke Tinar smiled gently: "The Ring of Imprints you have invented is truly fascinating, Duke Sage, I believe that sooner or later, you will change the course of this world and open up a wider path for spiritual arcane." ”

As a Grand Arcian mage, Grand Duke Tinar is well aware of the value of the Ring of Branding.

The Grand Duchess, who is also a Grand Ao Master, looks about thirty years old, gentle and beautiful, and her husband and wife said: "I hope that in the past few days, you will leave a good impression in Xueshan City." ”

Duke glanced at Princess Tiffany, and could see many shadows of the Grand Dukes on Princess Tiffany's face, who had inherited the physical advantages of both her parents.

"I've had a great time here, I have a good impression of Snowshirt City and the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice, and I will come here often when I have time."

The Grand Duchess smiled, "You are always welcome to come over." ”

The guard of honor played music, and Duke followed Sersas towards the battleship "Lookout" anchored there.

When he got to the hatch, Duke and Serthath spun around and waved downward.

His eyes looked at Princess Tiffany, who was also waving her hand gently, her eyes flashing with reluctance.

This is the case.

Duke suddenly felt something, and quickly ordered one of the staff members in the hatch: "Bring me paper and pen." ”

"Yes, Lord Duke." The staff hurried to the cabin to look for pen and paper.

Serthas asked curiously, "What is this going to do?" ”

"Write something."

"Haha, it's for that little girl at Tiffany's?" Serthas stroked his beard and smiled, "My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good, the old man supports you to take her...... I think when I was young, I visited foreign countries and had a few unforgettable happy moments......"

Duke didn't answer.

When the staff brought the pen and paper, he quickly picked up the pen and wrote lines of poetry in ice script on it: "Gently I go, just as I come softly; I beckoned softly, and made a cloud of the western sky...... Quietly I went, as quietly I came; I waved my sleeves and didn't take a cloud with me. ”

Written with the tip of the pen, a poem "Farewell Kangqiao", which was carefully scrutinized by him and Xiaoyi, and re-filled the lyrics, jumped on the paper.

Serthas was silent, his eyes already on the paper.

He has lived for a long time, and naturally he has also learned Bingwen, so he can understand this little poem, and he can't help but ponder a thing or two in his heart.

"It's quite charming, it's a good poem."

And in the square of the flight station, the Grand Duke and his wife, with Princess Tiffany, also looked up curiously at Duke who was writing something on paper.

The Grand Duchess seemed to have guessed, turned her head, and glanced at her little daughter with a smile.

Princess Tiffany did not perceive her mother's gaze, but looked at Duke eagerly, and she had a strong premonition that what Duke wrote on the paper was for herself.

Soon.

Duke, standing at the door of the battleship, put down the pen in his hand and quickly folded a piece of paper into a small airplane.

Gently tapped Princess Tiffany with her finger, and then threw the paper airplane in her hand.

The paper airplane streaked through a circle in the air, and then, under the guidance of the vindictive spirit, it landed accurately in the hands of Princess Tiffany.

With a wave of his hand, Duke followed Sersas into the battleship's cabin without looking back.

Woooooo

With a roar of the whistle, the USS Lookout slowly rose and headed southwest, leaving the Snowshirt City Flight Station under the watchful eyes of the Grand Duke and Princess Tiffany.

Wait until the battleship is getting smaller.

The Grand Duke and his wife turned to leave the flight station, and the Grand Duke of Tinar looked at Princess Tiffany curiously: "Tiffany, what did Duke write to you?" ”

Princess Tiffany carefully unwraps the paper airplane.

Then I saw the title on the paper - "Farewell Snow Shirt - To Tiffany Glacier".

"It's a poem." Princess Tiffany smiled happily, feeling that the parting mood had been diluted a lot, "He wrote me a poem. ”

"Well, it's romantic." Archduke Tinar teased, but there seemed to be some pantothenic hostility in his tone.

The Grand Duchess glanced at her husband with disgust, then smiled and asked, "Tiffany, do you mind if you would like to hear it to your father and me?" ”

"Hmm." Tiffany looked up at the battleship that had disappeared into the sky, and looked down to read the little poem on the paper.

“…… In the ice quilt of the snowshirt, I am willing to be a jerboa! The mass on the wooded hill is not a pine tower, but a moon in the sky...... Loaded with a boatload of starlight, sing in the starlight...... The melting ice is also silent for me, and silence is this morning's snowshirt! ”

Quietly I left......

Princess Tiffany, sweetly finished reading this little poem.

The Grand Duke of Tinar was noncommittal about this, and even the corners of his mouth twitched, and disdain flashed.

The Grand Duchess smiled and sighed, "What a lucky little girl, Tiffany!" Someone can write poetry for you, it's still such a good, romantic poem. I think soon this poem will become a must for bards, if you will. ”

"Farewell to Cambridge" is definitely a classic modern poem, although Duke refills in a lot of new words, which may detract from its details.

But Xiaoyi helped him scrutinize between the lines, and after all, he still retained the overall charm.

"I, I don't know, I haven't decided yet." Princess Tiffany, holding the paper in the palm of her hand, had a youthful smile on her face.

"It's just a poem......" Archduke Tinard just began.

was glared at by the Grand Duchess, glared back, simply rode a spirit horse, and left the flight station first.

The Grand Duchess walked back with her youngest daughter.

"I've had a couple of salons before, and a lot of ladies have been talking about Romeo and Juliet, and by the way, Duke's literary prowess, and they've all recognized him as a great writer. It's a pity that he has too few works, and he is a genius arcane mage, so he may not delve into this kind of path. ”

The Grand Duchess said with emotion: "Sure enough, I wrote a little poem casually, which is so beautiful and romantic. ”

"yes, he really ...... It's dazzling. Princess Tiffany nodded approvingly.

Although the time of knowing each other was short, the spiritual connection, everything came suddenly and fiercely, and she was deeply intoxicated by this time.

There are people who live a lifetime, but only one day.

Some people live for one day, but they live for a lifetime.

"Looks like Duke left you with a deep feeling." The Grand Duchess said with a smile.

"Mother, do you think there will be a follow-up story between me and Duke?" Princess Tiffany was asking, but her eyes were full of answers.

Looking at her little daughter's expectant eyes, she replied in the affirmative: "Why not, as long as you want to, there will be a follow-up to the story." ”

But when I turn back.

The Grand Duchess showed a bitter smile, there are so many stories in the world, but there are a few stories that really have endings.

However, she will not break her daughter's expectations for the future, some stories will be regretted after experience, but even if you regret it a hundred times, you will still experience it.

That's life.

……

"It took about a minute after you broke out of the moonlight cage for me to arrive at the scene." Serthath spoke calmly.

Duke listened intently.

"By the time I arrived, the Bibo was safe and sound, and your little lovers were alive and well, but they were crying a lot." After Sersas finished speaking, his brows furrowed, "But Miguil has already fled, and someone has interfered with the spiritual trajectory, and it can't be found where to flee." ”

"Someone interfered with the spiritual trajectory?" Duke frowned.

"It could be a human being, or it could be a demon of destruction...... The Demon of Destruction is more cunning than you think, seemingly losing his mind, but in fact still retains his pre-Fallen wisdom. ”

"If it's a man, Lord Serthas, who will help Miguil, or rather, who will target me?"

"It's still uncertain, but speaking of which, your attack this time has exposed too many problems within the Federation. Even among our several Radiant Moon Arcane Teachers, they became suspicious of each other. Serthas sighed, "There are already people who suspect the Lordship. ”

"Your Excellency?"

"Miguil has fallen, the Lordship may not be far away, this time someone interfered with the spiritual trajectory, I also suspected the Lord, but I have not found evidence yet."

After a pause, Serthas added, "Even if the Lord's Lordship made a move, it was definitely not what he intended. You also know his situation, after the failure of the 9th ring, his brain will be good and bad, I am afraid that some evil thoughts, when he is confused, take advantage of the weakness. ”

"I can understand it, but ...... If this continues, won't everyone be in danger? Duke frowned, "At least I wouldn't dare to stay in the Orfa Holy City for long." ”

"Alas, this is also the tricky part of the matter, the lord puts it under our noses, and can still respond in time, if we let him retreat, if he really falls, the danger will be even greater...... After all, he had once hit the 9th ring, and after falling into a sinking demon, he might not have a chance to go further. ”

Duke said in a deep voice, "It's too dangerous! ”

"You don't have to worry too much, the Lord also understands his own situation, and never leaves our field of vision, when it is really necessary, I believe that the Lord of the House of Representatives would rather choose to kill himself than sit back and wait for degeneration."

After chatting with the Lord, Duke suddenly asked: "Lord Selsath, in addition to the Lord, who else is suspicious, you give me a list, I will be careful to avoid them!" ”

Once bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope.

If it weren't for the Duke Star given by the goddess Nyx, he would have been poisoned by the Fallen Demon Miguil, so the stakes were high.

"Can't give it."

"Can't give it?"

"I really can't give it, it's not to prevaricate you, it's hard for the old man to clear the suspicion when you are attacked, let alone others." Serthas shook his head, "But don't worry, the Stars Council has made a decision, and will investigate the past of all the stars one by one to clear everyone's suspicions." ”

Duke sighed: "I'm very worried now, even if I don't go to the Arcane Holy City and stay in Cuihai City, it may not be safe. ”

"Don't worry, it's safe this time." Serthas said with a smile, "We have already made a decision that every Radiant Moon Arcane Master will give you a Moonlight Cage, so that even if you encounter danger again, you can directly open multiple Moonlight Realm protection, I believe that even if the Supreme Speaker personally takes action, it will be difficult to break it." ”

Immediately afterward, he added, "In order to prevent anyone from stealing the beams and changing the pillars, when we arrive at the Arcane Holy City, we will personally hand it over to you in person...... But you'll have to wait for my moonlight cage, since the last shatter, a new one hasn't been made yet. ”

The Moonlight Cage is a Radiant Moon Arcane Master, condensed with its own strength, and cannot be mass-produced, and the production cycle is also long.

"I understand, thank you for your love for me!" Duke smiled happily.

No one will have too many of this kind of good things, and with so many moonlight cage protectors, if you really encounter the Demon of Perdition, you can definitely last for a long time.

And.

Even if there is a Radiant Moon Arcane Master who secretly hides a back door, there is no need to worry, after all, there are other seven moonlight cages that are normally protected.

Serthas patted Duke on the shoulder and sighed, "You are the future of the Seven Towers Federation, the future of the Spiritual Mysteries, and even the future of all mankind, no matter what, we old guys, we must ensure that you are absolutely safe." ”

Duke was moved: "Thank you for your kindness! ”

The two chatted about some topics again, including the development of the Seven Towers Federation during this time, and the Ring of Branding technology has been fully promoted, and the development momentum is very fierce.

"So, I'm not surprised at all that you've been promoted to the 3rd Ring Arc Mage." Serthas laughed.

Duke thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "My lord, you don't seem to be curious about how I escaped the pursuit of the Sinking Demon Miguil?" ”

"How can I not be curious, but I will not ask." "We have unanimously resolved in the Council of the Stars not to find out how you can escape the Demon of Destruction, and not to tell anyone about it, so that your safety will not be threatened." ”

"That's it, I see." Duke nodded.

He had already made an excuse, but he didn't expect that he didn't even need an excuse, and the Stars Council took the initiative to keep his secret.

Of course, this is also good, because it eliminates the energy required to fulfill lies.

After all, to tell a lie, it takes countless panics to make up for it.

And in the face of the arcane tutor, he really doesn't feel that his lies will definitely be able to deceive the eyes of the arcane tutor.

"Also, the Council of Stars has decided to block news about your attack by the Fallen Demon, so the public is not aware that you have been missing for a while. The news of your fall to the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice, I have also discussed it with the Grand Duke of Tinar, and I will not announce it to the public. ”

The Sinking Demon is just a legend in folklore, and few people know that the Sinking Demon still exists except for the arcane mage class.

Duke understands the Seven Towers Federation's approach to blocking news.

If even a genius arcane mage like Duke is attacked by the Sinking Demon, I am afraid that the people will be terrified.

"Your Excellency." Duke asked, "Where can the Sinking Demon Miguil escape, it is nothing more than the spiritual fountain of High River City, and the Stars Council will not track it down?" ”

"Of course I tracked it down, but I couldn't find it." Serthas shook his head, "The Demon of Destruction is already a slave to the spirit, and does not have the common sense of a normal creature, it may hide in the belly of a fish or in the trunk of a tree, and it is really impossible to find out. ”

"So the Demon of Destruction can be big or small?" Duke thought of the Sinking Demon Miguir he had encountered before, and his body was dozens of meters tall.

Sersas's eyes were deep: "It can be big and small, and it can be visible and hidden." ”

……

A few days later, the battleship Lookout arrived at the Holy City of Ofa.

Duke did not appear in public, but under the leadership of Serthas, he visited several Radiant Moon Arcane Tutors one by one, and received a Moonlight Cage Jade Pendant from each of them.

Seven of them.

Add the one that Serthas owes, and that's eight.

"Eightfold defense, I don't believe that the Sinking Demon can still break it!" Stringing the moonlight cage jade pendant with a thread and hanging it around his waist, Duke's sense of security suddenly doubled.

Duration.

Duke was also invited by the President of the Standing Council of the United Tower, Andrea Evening Primrose, to visit his Crystal Palace.

Serthas is in charge of accompanying and preventing any accidents.

After all, the Speaker of the Upper House, who failed to hit the 9th ring, has become the most likely to fall among the stars.

The banquet was small, with only one table, and less than ten people were seated.

This is a family feast, and half of them are Andre's wives and concubines - the Federation of the Seven Towers is strictly monogamous, but the system is the system, and the reality is the reality.

"Duke, the old man toasts you." Andre's beard was white, and his mental state was not very good, "What happened to you this time is a dereliction of duty on the part of our council. ”

"Your Excellency, you are serious." Duke took a glass of wine, "I'm safe and sound now, that's the end of the matter, please don't worry." ”

"The old man is old, and his time is short, I just hope that you young people can grow up quickly and shoulder the burden of spiritual mysteries."

"I've been trying."

"It's good to work hard, fight while you're young, so that you don't ...... in vain," said Andre, his eyes suddenly clouded, and his hands trembled and he couldn't hold up the wine glass.

I saw that the wine glass was about to slip off.

One of the concubines who was eating and drinking beside him immediately reached out to hold Andrei's arm, and then took the wine glass.

Andre did not know how many successive wives, a gray-haired old woman, immediately played a round and said: "My lord is a little tired, Lord Serthas, please entertain Duke, and we will help him back to his room to rest." ”

"Sister-in-law can go by herself." Serthas got up, "Duke and I have eaten and drunk well, and it's time to take our leave." ”

"Please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." The grandmother apologized repeatedly.

The wives and concubines helped Andrea Evening Primrose to leave, and Serthas also took Duke and left Andre's Crystal Palace.

On the way back, Serthas was in a heavy mood.

Yu Yu sighed: "The road of spiritual arcane law, how difficult, the ancestors of the Seven Towers Federation have been established for more than 3,000 years, and countless ancestors have groped to reach the height of the 8th ring today. Behind this, how many ancestors lost themselves in the process of exploration. ”

He looked up at the sky, and the night sky was full of stars.

Fu sighed again: "I'm afraid that in the near future, there will be another star that will return to the starry night...... Back then, when I was just a teenager, I first came to the Orfa Holy City, and at that time, Lord Andre was already the proud son of the Heavenly Pride of the Orfa Holy City......"

Hundreds of years have passed in a hurry.

Now Serthas is also full of silver threads: "Rotten, Lord Andrei often talks about rottenness, and the fact is also true, we are all rotten people, and we are about to die!" ”

Duke listened silently to Serthas's emotion.

But I was a little speechless in my heart.

Selhas looks old, and is actually old.

However, the lifespan of the 8-Ring Radiant Moon Arcane Master is generally around four hundred and fifty years old, and Serthas is still nearly a hundred years away from old age and death. The little baby who croaks to the ground, desperately trying to live, may not be able to die later than him.

"My lord still has a long time to lead the Seven Towers Federation to a higher glory." Duke opened his mouth and said, "The younger generation still needs you, the adult, to protect you all the way." ”

"Haha!"

Serthas liked to hear this, and said with a smile: "Indeed, if I don't work hard to watch you young people grow up, how can I rest assured that the future will be passed on to you!" ”

After a night.

On May 25, Duke set off in the direction of Emerald Sea City in the morning light aboard the battleship Lookout of Selsas.

He came to the holy city of Ofa quietly, and he left quietly.

After experiencing many things, he is quite like an arrow, although the land of Heijiao River is barren, it is indeed the place where he was born and raised, although Cuihai City is immature, but it entrusts him with a lot of hard work.

"I can't control the power of the Seven Towers Federation, so return to Cuihai City first and grasp the authority of Cuihai City!"

The strength is weak, and even the Sinking Demon can't deal with it, so it is indeed not suitable to take power in the Arcane Holy City.

However, you can practice in advance, and Cuihai City is the best practice work.

"Well, there's Kiria, waiting for me...... Vivian, Mulari, and Mula Shan...... "Standing at the porthole and looking out at the land, Duke's mind flashed with human figures.

It has been more than six years since he traveled, and there are already people in this land who have developed a close bond with him.

Hometown.

is no longer the earth that can only be touched in dreams, a small piece of the barren continent, called the Black Jiaohe region, is also his hometown.

"I'm back, and I'm back home!"
