The Violet Empire ushered in the first heavy snow in late autumn and early winter.

The blizzard ghost howls reverberates between heaven and earth.

The city was obscured by the fluttering goose feather snow. The sound of the wind constantly pours into the ear holes, stinging the pinna and eardrums. Underneath the cacophony, the dull sound of the waves coming from the Gulf of Tublik could be faintly heard.

In the Violet Empire in early winter, there are rarely such cold times, at least Xi Yao has never seen it.

She stood in the palace room, silently looking out the window at the white world.

When the snow season comes, the Royal Palace of Saint-Landel becomes the most beautiful place on the continent. The color of the snow and the white marble are harmonious, and it looks like a curtain hanging down from the Temple of Creation, which is magnificent.

Faintly, Xi Yao could see the straight outline of the tower in the distance, and some unreal illusions came to mind.

"Saint-Randre hasn't had this much snow in many years. ”

Queen Ying walked in from outside the house in her high heels, sharp heels on the soft white plush carpet, leaving shallow holes.

"In my mother's memory, the last time it snowed so hard was the year before you were born. ”

"See Her Highness the Queen. ”

The room was dark and fell to its knees.

Not knowing what to say, Xi Yao looked out at the skyline in the distance, where there was a zigzag line suspended above the clouds, outlining the outline of a temple, very faint in the snow.

Looking east from here, there is the Temple of the Celestial Gods located in the very center of the Phantom Capital Continent.

There is a Heavenly Apocalypse Divine Tree underneath the main hall, which supports the sky of the entire world.

She subconsciously fiddled with the ring on her finger.

This shield of the gods is still in his hands, and he has not had time to return it to the Melting Charm Patriarch.

Queen Ying noticed Xi Yao's small movements, and asked leisurely, "Who sent it?" I haven't seen you care so much about jewelry, it can't be the poor boy of the astrologer clan, right?"

"It's not my thing, I just ...... I didn't have time to return it. Xi Yao's tone was a little nervous.

Since the last time she came out of the Nine Shadows Maze, she was "under house arrest" in the palace by Queen Ying.

The queen must have arrived for her eighteenth birthday. is almost the age of marriage, and it is indispensable to listen to her nagging.

Queen Ying was naturally heartbroken about her daughter's marriage.

These nobles who are reluctant to marry their daughters to the kings of other countries, and who do not like Violet in their hearts, even look down on a poor boy of the astrological clan.

As the only daughter of the mermaid queen, she naturally wants to marry beautifully.

"Show me. ”

"What for?" Xi Yao put her hands behind her back very vigilantly.

"This can't be the shield of the God of War that Rong Mei lent you, right?" Queen Ying chuckled, without the slightest suspicion, "It's been more than half a month, if you don't return it, no matter how good the shield is, it will turn into scrap copper and rotten iron." ”

Xi Yao said angrily: "That's not because you've been keeping me here!"

"I'm doing this for your own good," Queen Ying explained unhurriedly, "as long as your weapon doesn't fall into the hands of someone else, there's no need to worry." If Melt really cared about this shield, she would definitely send an envoy to fetch it. ”

"Didn't the astrologers send anyone over?"

"Even if it's pie, it's not the stupid boy who sent Bai Lianzhou. Queen Ying broke her words, and then muttered in a low voice: "But it's really strange, this queen has been waiting for him, and he didn't come." ”

The way a psychic obtains a weapon is often to use the characteristics of his own spiritual power circuit to assimilate the spiritual power rich in the weapon. Everyone's spiritual power circuit is different, so the breath is also different.

Under the blood relationship and the master-apprentice relationship, the spiritual power aura is similar, and weapons and spirit beasts can be shared.

Before the death of the owner, the weapon will not be contaminated with the breath of others, no matter how long it stays on them. There is no relationship between Rong Mei and Xi Yao, so if the God of War Shield stays in Xi Yao's hands for too long, the spiritual power will gradually weaken and eventually disappear completely.

"Mother, you ...... You're keeping me here just so that the Melt Sect Patriarch will come to me?" Queen Ying looked back at Xi Yao and said nothing.

"You are using me?" "Xi Yao glared at Queen Ying, her eyes full of anger but not easy to attack, "What did the Patriarch of Rongmei do wrong to make you have such a great malice towards their astrological clan......"

Queen Ying shook her head helplessly: "He didn't do anything wrong, he deserved to die." ”

Xi Yao looked at Queen Ying a little confused: "What do you mean by this?"

"Silly boy, you're too young to realize the seriousness of the matter. What Mother wants to tell you is that in this world, except for the creator god, the dissolver can kill whoever she wants, and the person who is killed has no chance to resist at all. ”

Seeing that her daughter still didn't understand what she meant, Queen Ying continued to explain: "Rong Mei is the owner of the 'Zhen Shi Decision'. ”

Xi Yao was not surprised at all, but replied coldly: "He is not." ”

"How can an average astrologer have the shield of the god of war? for twenty years, my mother has been ......."

Xi Yao interrupted, "This shield wasn't given to me by the Melting Charm Patriarch at all. He's just an ordinary astrologer and that's it. ”

Queen Ying was taken aback and asked, "Didn't you see him with your own eyes?"

"Seeing is not necessarily believing. I've already helped you test Bai Lianzhou and the Emperor Star Master, don't guess. Xi Yao shook her head slowly, and continued: "If you are still stubborn and think that a three- or four-year-old child can manipulate the direction of the war, I can't help it. ”

"And who gave you this shield?"

"Who else could there be? Our spiritual magicians, even the most powerful mermaid clan in the whole continent, are as weak as ants in the face of divine power. Xi Yao sighed.

"This can only show that the Melting Charm may not be the master of the world, but it is not absolute. ”

"Mother-sama, hurry up and see the reality, we have been deceived by the charm. Xi Yao explained excitedly: "Zhen Shidu, a spiritual energy that is enough to make the whole continent fearful and needs to be ordered to be blocked by the king of a country, haven't you noticed that for so many years, it is the secret art of our mermaid clan that is using it as a shield?"

Queen Ying's voice was muffled: "[ ] No way. ”

"Mother, in a sense, the mermaid clan and the town world are in a mess, and if they kill each other, it's all over. ”

"Xi Yao, you are really dazzled by the astrology clan's name Bai Lianzhou. Queen Ying's tone was quite disdainful, "If the mermaid clan and Zhen Shiduan can really complement each other and lose both, the last thing Rong Mei should do is to provoke the queen's hatred for him." ”

Xi Yao sarcastically said: "It's you who blindly hate him, he didn't do anything." ”

"I don't want to quarrel with you. ”

"I don't want to, mother, but bystanders, daughters can see a lot of things that you can't see. ”

"The Melting Mei Patriarch has been in power for six or seven years, and I have never seen or heard of his weapons and spirit beasts, but among the several great artifacts of the ancients, the first three things have their own owners, and presumably his weapons are not powerful. ”

Xi Yao carefully recalled all the clips about the dissolution, but her mood was very complicated.

seemed to notice that her daughter's thoughts were different from just now, Queen Ying didn't have an obvious reaction, and only asked lightly: "I thought that their astrology clan couldn't produce any powerful people, but I didn't expect that Mingyu guy to have a good eye." ”

The room was silent for a while, and the atmosphere seemed a little oppressive.

Xi Yao sighed and said, "In this way, it is even more impossible for him to be the owner of the Zhen Shidu. If he can see the situation clearly, befriending our merfolk clan is the best choice, with the current strength of the astrology clan and the illusion clan, he can't protect himself at all. ”

Queen Ying hid her face and laughed, and comforted: "Daughter, it is not difficult to find it. All things are mutually reinforcing, although there is a town in our Violet Empire, but in this world, isn't there still 'domination' and 'domination'?"

Xi Yao's heart sank, knowing that her mother was reminding herself that if she was so close to Bai Lianzhou, and Rong Mei was really the master of the world, she might be in a dilemma in the future in the mermaid clan.

That Rongmei and Bai Lianzhou, if the master and apprentice are single-minded, it is easy to say, once there is a little unclear detail involved, I am afraid that if the mother does not show favoritism, he will not be happy. "Who is that psychic master?" asked Xi Yao after thinking twice.

Queen Ying frowned and said: "That day, Rongmei and I betrayed a good man, thinking that 'domination' and 'domination' were similar, and I said so-so and declared that I didn't know anything. But he didn't know that the owner of the ruling psionic power I had heard of was a Virginian, though I couldn't be sure at this time...... However, it is most likely to be the Spirit Clan patriarch Ernest. ”

"What a coincidence. The 'Shield-Breaking Sword' of the God of War Shield is also in the hands of the Wind Spirit Master. Queen Ying paused, smiled and said, "Presumably, their astrologers have to blow a lot of wind." ”

Xi Yao was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Bai Lianzhou is from the Virginia Empire. ”

"Yo, what a coincidence. Queen Ying smiled, and then frowned imperceptibly, "Daughter, if Bai Lianzhou is a spy sent by Ernest to lurk in the Violet Empire to find the town of the world, and it turns out that this kid is stupid, and the first thigh he hugs is the person his master is looking for, how interesting it would be!"

A hint of timidity flashed in Xi Yao's eyes: "Mother, this is impossible." ”

"How could it be impossible? In my opinion, their relationship is probably so delicate now. Ying Jue sneered. "Domination can only be applied to a small area, and the target must be determined before it can be attacked, otherwise it will lead to a war that will not end well, and the good news is that Ernest's spiritual power level is too high, even higher than the highest authority that the dissolving spirit can obtain, and the astrologer has a skill, but he can't find the position of the opponent......

"You say, the two of them are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, isn't it who catches Bai Lianzhou first, who can win this game?"

Xi Yao smiled and said softly: "But in the case you said, the possibility of every step is less than one percent. If I were him, I would definitely keep my mouth shut. How could anyone not confess themselves and personally send the information to the enemy's face?"

"I think Melt is gambling. ”

"Bet on what?"

Queen Ying lowered her eyes and closed her eyes and said, "He bet that each of us has no direct evidence to determine the identity of the Lord of the Towns. ”

"He doesn't have to bet like that, he can do astrology......"

But he couldn't divinate himself. Queen Ying replied gracefully: "According to the character of that guy, how can you allow a righteous son who is not related by blood to cross over to his head. Either it's a trick, or he's afraid of something. ”

Xiyao asked, "Mother shouldn't have caught up with these old people for a long time, right?"

"Well, it doesn't matter. All we need to do is find the 'Wings of the Gods' and break this shield, and the truth will be revealed. ”

Queen Ying then sighed, "If we can find this spiritual magician and use it for ourselves, then there will be no one who can be our enemy in the Violet Empire." ”

Xi Yao fell into a long silence.

She wanted to tell Ying Jue that she didn't want to turn against the astrologers anyway.

The merfolk clan withdrew from the competition for the spiritual power area early, and did not continue to study the new spirit envoy, once the situation became uncontrollable, it would be a great challenge to their mother and daughter.

Once the mermaid clan can't gain a firm foothold among the four major races, if it doesn't get the help of the town, I'm afraid that the current grand situation will collapse directly......

Xi Yao couldn't help herself.

"I'm doing this for your own good...... You will understand later that Mother is doing this. ”

"It's okay, I understand, if there is a need for a daughter, please ask the queen mother to do so. Xi Yao endured the helplessness in her heart and glanced in the direction of Ying Jue.

Queen Ying nodded, looked up at the window, and said, "There will be a guest when the snow stops." You go and return it to Melt as soon as possible, and if you want to play outside for a while, just come back before dinner. ”

Xi Yao smiled slightly, understanding what her mother meant, she thought to herself, it must be a person she can't see, and she needs to avoid it.

She was a little disappointed in her mother's way of life, but she did not show it, and she was rejoicing and glad that she was able to walk out of the palace again.

Xi Yao bowed to Queen Ying and set off immediately.
