Chapter 342: Beasts are inferior
Although the baths in the palace are more luxurious than here, they are not hot springs, and it is quite exciting to want to have such a large bath alone.
Even if she is a princess, it is not good to always trouble her uncle of the guard, but unfortunately he fell ill halfway and is still trapped in the commercial capital of Holmei.
From this point of view, in addition to the higher status, the royal family is even far inferior to the magnates of these important towns in terms of pleasure, and has too many scruples.
In contrast, after the girl Afu on the side entered the water, she was more relaxed.
After initially being shocked by the beauty and luxury of the environment, she quickly recovered, and there were many hot springs in the mountains, which were not unusual, but also made her desperate for half a month of streak to clean up.
But soon she was conquered by the delicious ice wine, glass after glass, her face showed a slight flush, and her delicate appearance even stunned Sophia opposite.
No one knows why the two women walked in together knowing that Philip was present, maybe it was a little comparison, maybe it was a little temptation and comfort to the lover, the woman's mind was too complicated.
Anyway, when Ave said that she would serve Philip in the routine washing, Sophia graciously followed.
Philip wished that there were more such scenes, the better, of course, if not two pools, and for the first time he resented that his bathroom was too big.
However, when he scratched his ears and cheeks for half an hour, and was about to muster up the courage to climb up, he found that the two women seemed to be a little drunk.
Their faces were red and their eyes were misty, and at this moment Afu was leaning against Sophia's delicate collarbone, not knowing what to mutter.
It was the first time for Philip to see this girl who looked like a superb royal sister on the surface with such a cute and cute expression.
And Sophia even touched Afu's smooth skin moistened by the spring water, and kissed her face from time to time, even if most of her chest was exposed above the water, someone didn't know that it was cheaper.
On the stone platform by the pool lay three empty wine bottles, one of which was flowing into the pool of golden liquor.
Philip fought for a long time before he exhaled a breath of turbidity, and slapped himself on the surface of the water with hatred, secretly hating himself for being a coward, and simply inferior to a beast.
He jumped out of the pool, quickly put on his pants, called the maid, and fished the two drunks out of the pool, after all, he couldn't just watch the princess of the empire scoop a cup from the bathing pool and put it in her mouth.
Of course, in this process, the wet gauze skirts of the two were tightly attached to their bodies, outlining their graceful figures, which made him feast his eyes.
The two female drunkards also looked at his sturdy upper body, stretched out their hands to rub the oil with their drunken gall, and admired it with their tongues, making him cry and laugh.
After sending both of them out, he returned to the cold pool and soaked for half an hour before his restless blood vessels were calm.
As a result, as soon as she returned to the castle, she received disdainful glances from Jane and Catherine, and even Donna, the prospective sister-in-law, covered her wounds and hummed, not knowing what she was shaking her head and sighing.
In this way, Philip did not fall asleep until the early hours of the morning, and he could not remember what he saw in his dreams.
But the next morning after changing into a set of underwear, when he saw Brad at the military headquarters, the old lion was startled by the two big dark circles on his little grandson's face.
At breakfast, the two girls had a strange attitude towards him, just sat together affectionately and pointed at him, and whenever he looked at him flatteringly, he would receive two pairs of big eyes.
But when he went out, he got a wall knock and a deep kiss from Sophia, and that night Afu served him to wash his hands and face more gently, and even some of his little habits no longer refused.
Until many years later, Philip didn't know if what he had done that night was right or wrong.
Philip rushed to the military headquarters to learn that more than 10,000 female soldiers had rushed to the eastern defense line overnight last night to replenish the already precarious forces there, and Bruce, Wesley and others had stayed, as well as those soldiers whose homes were in Gokan City.
They will sweep the northern road of the remnants of the steppe people in the jurisdiction of Gaokan City.
Philip, on the other hand, unloaded all his military and waited for the newly replenished Maga regiment to arrive and replenish his armor and equipment, while holding a series of condolence activities in the city of Gaokan with the princess of the empire.
At the same time, the remaining personnel of the Red Rose Knights also temporarily took over the responsibility of defending Gaokan City, only waiting for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.
Some people may think that the old lion is taking care of his grandson or princess, but only the old lion himself understands that this kid has been in the limelight too much, and he always wants to give this meritorious opportunity to beat the water dog to others, and also let the soldiers whose homes have been destroyed have a way to vent their anger in their hearts.
The main force of the steppe people who entered the pass one after another continued to gather outside the temporary defense line in the central part of the country to seek a breakthrough, and the southbound division also followed the shortest route all the way to Gaokan City, so only one or two places near the central part of the affiliated villages and towns of Gaokan City found traces of the steppe people.
The only thing that was really threatened was a large town called Boiling Water, which was surrounded by seventy or eighty thousand steppe people, who seemed to have been sent out to gather enough military rations.
The mixed brigades of Bruce, Wesley, and others could get there by train in a day and a night at most.
From this point of view, Philip was glad that the location of the town of Lok Ma was too remote, separated by the basin to the south, and as long as the city of Gokan did not fall completely, it was unlikely to be attacked.
He really didn't want the beautiful village that had left a lasting impression on his childhood to be in ruins under the smoke of war, especially the familiar and lovely faces inside.
So he calmly accompanied Sophia to organize the resumption of production in the city, comfort the wounded soldiers, women and children, and brush up his reputation.
Miss Afu was busier than him, helping to treat the wounded in the temple all the time, and even Philip only saw her in a hurry when he was washing up before bedtime.
There were too many wounded soldiers in the city, forty or fifty thousand, and most of them were seriously wounded, because the lightly wounded all returned to the front line of their own accord, and participated in the battle of the city walls that would go down in the annals of the city of Gaokan, and died there.
Contrary to Philip's expectations, the temple did not care as much about Afu's hidden identity as he imagined.
After all, the legend of the goddess of the forest has always been prevalent in the city of Gaokan and the entire southern region of the empire, and almost every one or two hundred years, someone claims to have seen the goddess herself, been saved from death, and then impressed by her beauty.
But judging from the actual effect, the temple only regarded Afu as a specially gifted awakened person, and even Monica Priest very much hoped to be able to accept Afu as a disciple and inherit her mantle.
In her opinion, the ability to use healing in this way is simply a waste and a crime, if it is systematically studied and trained, the people that Afu can help will be expanded dozens of times, and the effect of treatment is much better than the effect of ordinary magic magic.
For the first time, Philip discovered his own ignorance.
He had subconsciously thought that priests could only heal when they used the power of awakening, just like Bishop Lynch.
But Bishop Monica, who has always been generous, showed a rare look of disdain, according to her, if it could only be treated when awakened, then more than half of the tens of thousands of wounded soldiers would have died long ago.
What's more, the vast majority of medical priests don't have a talent like Afu, and awakening is only equivalent to a key, and awakening can only make them more efficient and more powerful when using divine arts.
In the end, Philip had to admit that with his shallow understanding of the use of divine power, he was misled by Yun'er's words at the beginning, which is why he caused such an embarrassing situation.
If it is not a particularly serious illness or injury, the medical priest in an ordinary state can also mobilize the magic weapon to resonate, which is the result of years of study and training.
But considering Afu's special identity and the special relationship between her and Philip, I'm afraid that the position of the priest is not suitable for Afu, and there is not so much time for her to study systematically, so in the end, in the regret of Priest Monica, she agreed to teach Afu some basic common sense and skills in private to make up for her shortcomings in the professional field.
I believe that if you don't consider other classifications, just specializing in medical treatment, Afu, who has excellent talent, can completely obtain abilities comparable to or even better than professional medical gods within a year or two, so that her talent in medical treatment can be fully brought into full play.
Philip also obtained a letter of recommendation through Bishop Gordon's connections, which allowed Afu to continue her studies as an auditor in the medical branch of Southern Theological Seminary, except for the absence of a graduation certificate and a temple official position, the others were no different from ordinary students.
Of even greater interest to these bishops was Ale, whose special appearance and physical qualities made him feel as if he had discovered a major research topic.
Fortunately, these bishops are very busy now, and most of them are just rare for a while and forget about them, after all, when it comes to the knowledge of all kinds of strange people, if the temple says that it is second, no one in the entire continent dares to say that it is first.
Only one Bishop of the Leta tribe, named Falkson, seemed to be very interested in Alet's situation, and followed Ale's every day.
Every day, all the guards could see a stocky little man in the bishop's robe, moving his round figure and two small short legs behind Ale, asking such strange questions.
Even if he was carried in the air with one hand by the irascible Allie, or thrown out of the wall casually, he was not angry at all, but dissuaded his big-shouldered and round-waisted guards from interfering with his research, and his temper was too good to be a mess.
Alie was so annoyed that he bared his teeth, but after being taught twice by his sister, he stopped doing anything to the bishop, and followed by a tail before dawn every day.
He didn't like the city of Gaokan, where there were not enough trees and not enough dense trees, so he had to run to the tall roofs to hide in silence.
