Chapter 797 The speed of life and death (3, literary women nobles, ask for votes)
December 31, 1834.
The weather was extremely weird this day.
Although this day has entered the cold winter, it is the weather that drips into ice.
And a few days ago, there was a overwhelming heavy snow, but this day, the clouds over the thunderburg are densely covered, and the lead black clouds seem to be pressed above the person's head.
, crushing the city into powder.
At dusk, there was a light rain, and then the light rain was getting bigger and bigger.
Due to the cold weather, the rain fell to the ground, and the rotation became a firm frozen on the ground. It was just a moment of time.
Frozen by ice.
The road in the city becomes smooth, and it is extremely difficult to do. If you don't pay attention, you will fall to the sky.
On the avenue, many carriages have a traffic accident, or horses broke their legs, or the vehicle was not able to brake and hit the wall. Or it slipped to the roadside and hit the street.
Shops, or else, would be overturned directly.
Every intersection is now in chaos.
In the evening, the clouds have become lower and lower, and the electrical flickering in the sky gradually appears, and there is a faint thunder that keeps coming.
Thunder in winter is an ominous sign.
The cloudy cloud was not only overwhelmed over the Leibao, but also on the hearts of everyone. All of them were heavy and mood was depressed.
This winter is a chaotic season for Rabberg. There are still many buildings that are being rebuilt on the streets, because it is so cold that it is thrown there. It adds a desolate taste to this prosperous city.
Although it will be held in the near future that represents the Leng Lingling Two Alliance, which is related to a major millennium wedding. Even if every evening, it should be the moment when people relax and entertain, but there is no smiley face.
People are silent and silent, and the color is in a hurry. Nuo Da can hardly hear a little sound in the whole city. Even if it is an acquaintance to meet, just make a look, and then leave it.
The shadow stood behind them and stared at them tightly.
And their eyes are always in the direction of the temple, and the dark clouds above the temple seem to be even darker.
They felt faintly in their hearts, what would happen soon ~!
Once it arrives, it will definitely be earth-shattering.
Fiona holds a cup of hot tea with both hands, standing at the door, watching the rain drops falling in the sky, and dazed.
Behind her, the ribbons and flowers used to decorate the wedding had filled the entire hall, reflecting the splendid colors in the hall.
The preparation work is almost complete, only a few details are still missing.
Fiona unconsciously put the ivory-white tea cup to her lips, took a sip, and then sighed softly.
Although she is not very clear, what is Lorraine doing, but she can't help worrying: this marriage is approaching, but there is still no news in Rylo. I don't know what they are now?
He is looking for an escape route, but he doesn't know if he has found it yet?
If she can't find someone again, Adeling will get married. It won't be easy to elope at that time.
It would be good if the two tribes united and did not have to fight a civil war. The outstanding warriors of the Semitic tribe would not die in vain in a meaningless battle.
But she often listened to the private discussions of the big guys. She knew clearly in her heart that the situation would inevitably become more terrifying.
Although there is no war between the two races, under the orders of the high priest, millions of troops will be gathered for a cross-sea expedition to attack the human continent. It will be a war for the entire nation.
She couldn't help but tremble when she thought of that situation.
Although due to official propaganda, every young Semitic man has a dream in his heart to conquer the human race and plant the blitz flag all over the earth. This is something he has been taught little by little since he was a child.
But she knew very well in her heart that those ruffians of the human race were definitely not for nothing.
Although according to the official statement, the human race is timid, weak and vulnerable, they are like chickens in front of our Semitic warriors, they will die if they are pinched.
As long as we land on the human continent, we can eliminate them without any effort.
Ordinary young people really believe this statement. It has always been a hot topic to discuss how to enter the human race and how to conquer the human world.
But Fiona comes from a royal family, has a broad vision, and can know many things that others don't know.
Thousands of years ago, the Semitic people, who were as powerful as the clouds, had as many masters as the forest, had many heroes, and were united as one, failed to succeed. They were beaten to a pulp by the human race, and in the end they had no choice but to escape.
The Semitic official downplayed the detailed records of this defeat, and the public history books never stated how the Semitic failed.
But the elite-educated aristocrats knew.
In that era when the Semites were the most powerful, they were defeated by humans.
For thousands of years, the depleted Semitic tribe has been fighting among themselves, while the human race is prosperous and increasingly powerful.
The power of mages and priests alone is countless times stronger than it was a thousand years ago.
Not to mention anything else, just in these years, which Semitic people are not proud to use human items. And in comparison, their things are indeed good.
More beautiful, more refined, more practical, and of course more expensive.
Calculating this alone, how much gold and silver flowed into them?
But there is nothing about the Semites that humans can take a fancy to, except maybe Semitic women. Human boys have been yearning for Semitic women passionately and unrestrainedly for a long time.
In future wars, facing the powerful war machine of the human race, what chance do the Semites have of winning?
War fortress? If that thing was useful, it wouldn't have been defeated by humans last time.
That's just an awesome weapon.
When the whole family goes on an expedition, how many men will be bathed in blood and lying dead in the wilderness? How many families will cry for it?
Are we all living well here? Have humans ever provoked us?
Why do you have to fight for that unknown glory?
Why...why do you have to obey the orders of the high priest?
Are the high priest’s orders necessarily correct?
What if he was wrong?
When she thought of this, she suddenly felt her heart skip a beat.
Although she usually secretly said a few bad words about the high priest, she never took it to her heart. But this time she calmed down. When she thought about it carefully, she suddenly discovered that her thoughts had changed unknowingly.
A lot more.
In a sense, this is very unethical~!
She immediately recited the official propaganda version of the glorious deeds of the high priest several times, like the high priest turning the tide and saving the Semitic people. With one move of the high priest's cane, the sea immediately parted, revealing a flat seabed, and then smoothly took the Semitic people with him.
The clan returned to the mainland...
The high priest personally helped the old woman carry water. The high priest raised his hand and wiped out an evil dragon that was harming the people...
Of course, the high priest does all this for free.
After a long time, she felt much calmer. Then she told herself over and over again in her heart that we are not doing this to resist the high priest, but just for world peace. We don’t want to go to war. We don’t want to break millions of families.
, I don’t want millions of mothers to cry, and I don’t want millions of children to become orphans...
For the sake of all Semites, Adelin must elope, she must elope.
When she picked up the water cup again, she found that the water in the cup had become cold in just a short time.
Fiona couldn't help but sigh, this cup of Earl Gray black tea has just been brewed~!
She poured the cup of tea on the ground casually, and then ordered to the attendant next to her: "Charles, go make me another cup of tea. Remember, it's the black tea from Seris, and you can only put a third of it in it."
of milk, a spoonful of maple sugar, I’m on a diet these two days.”
The waiter agreed, took the teacup, turned and walked away.
Fiona gently hugged the white fox fur coat on her body, and then sighed softly.
Just when she was calming down and planning to continue her career as a literary and artistic noble, she suddenly heard a commotion in front of her.
Fiona couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
Now that her lover is not around, she is thinking that there are too many things to do, and there was already some evil fire that had no place to spread. Now someone came to disturb her, and she immediately became furious: Which grandson is this? Didn't he know that this is the camp of Ling Shan? He is actually a dog.
Are you brave enough to mess around here?
She took the steaming tea cup newly brought by the guard, then glanced at the other party, and said lazily: "Char, go, take the stick and see what's going on?"
The guard agreed and was about to go out. But then he saw more guards retreating into the courtyard.
Fiona was immediately furious.
She immediately threw the tea cup imported by Siris to the ground, and then shouted angrily: "You guys are just eating dry food. How come you have people knocking on your door? Believe it or not, grandma, I will skin you~
!”
The leading officer looked back at her, and then said with a grimace: "Auntie... uh, Miss Fiona, she is not our favorite, she is really someone we can't afford to offend~!"
Fiona's delicate body trembled, then she gently pinched her waist with her slender hands, sneered, and said: "Who, who? So powerful? You dare to disobey orders?"
The officer gave a bitter smile and said: "Miss, it's not that we don't obey orders. It's just that the other party is accompanied by Mr. Sarkis, so we can't take action. We can only come in first to protect your safety, miss."
After hearing this, Fiona couldn't help but feel a little confused, and said: "Are you accompanied by Mr. Sakis? Who is this? Such a big deal. Didn't you tell them that Miss Adeline was preparing for the wedding and didn't see the guests?
Tell them to get lost~!”
The officer grinned and said, "They are not here to see Miss Adeline."
Fiona was stunned for a moment and said: "Not meeting Adeline? Then who are you meeting? Damn it, your head is not here."
She paused and looked at the strange look on the officer's face. She immediately felt something in her heart and said, "Zoron, are they not here to see you?"
After saying that, she was no longer angry, she hugged her arms with a smile, and gloated: "Did some girl from Lei Shan let you pick up? You got on the bus and you didn't make up for the ticket.
Is this someone coming to your door? Hahaha. I told you a long time ago that when you go out to hang out, you must wear a vest and carry a trumpet. It will be easier to escape then..."
Zoro almost didn't cry, and thought to himself: It's true that those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. This young lady was originally a ladylike person, but she also learned bad things from following adults.
He sighed and said: "Miss, please stop gloating here. You are not here to find me. It would be great if there is a beautiful woman who can fall in love with me, a bachelor."
Fiona was stunned and said, "Isn't it you? Then who are you looking for?"
Zoro took a breath, and then said in a deep voice: "Miss, they have pointed out that they are here to find Xiaobai."
Fiona was immediately startled, and then she stumbled and said angrily: "I knew that little bastard was not a good person. If I didn't catch him, he must have gone to the street to touch people's wallets again. I should have given him a good beating a long time ago.
He corrected this bad habit and now people are blocking the door~!"
But then she saw Sauron grimacing and shaking his head. Fiona then became cautious and said calmly: "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
Sauron hesitated for a moment, and then said: "That's right, just now, two lichs came to the door in person. They said they wanted to see Xiaobai."
Fiona was stunned for a moment, looked at Sauron blankly, and murmured: "Witch... Lich, wants... to see... to see Xiaobai..."
Zoro looked at her with a 'you just understand' look, and then nodded seriously.
Fiona's body suddenly shook and she felt her head hurt.
Originally, Lorraine was not here, and Adeline was about to get married. Now she is taking care of all the affairs on Lorraine's side. She had just become a serf and sang, and her daughter-in-law for many years became a mother-in-law, and she felt a little bit more powerful.
, it feels very much like the Empress Dowager Xi. The Empress Dowager has not felt comfortable for two days, and there is such a big loophole here.
Fiona now finally understood why Lorraine always had headaches before. And Adeline would grab Leo, a little ruffian, and beat him up at every turn.
Fiona now wants to kick Xiaobai's fat and big ass.
She gritted her teeth and cursed: "Damn you! You are really greedy for money. You are going to steal a bunch of dead bones. You are not a dog. You can still take a few bites after stealing the bones."
She cursed, but then ordered to the officer: "Tell them not to see you. Just say that Xiaobai has rabies and will bite whoever you catch. He is recuperating. Although they are a bunch of skeletons, Xiaobai went crazy.
We cannot take responsibility for crushing them."
No matter how much you scold him, Xiaobai is his family after all. If something happens, even if he goes back and teaches him a good lesson.
But at this time, we must protect it first. We can't let those guys who are not human beings be captured and made into braised pork.
Sauron agreed and left immediately.
Fiona hesitated for a moment, then said: "By the way, you take the opportunity to find out what happened? If Xiaobai really touched someone's wallet again, we will find an opportunity to return it to them later."
But then he couldn't help but cursed: "A bunch of dead lichs have really practiced their skills to the bone, and they actually let a novice touch their wallets. They are still experts, bah~!"
An attendant next to him said inexplicably: "Miss, Xiaobai hasn't gone out these two days. It's cold today, so he is guarding the four big stoves in the living room and never leaves. After eating, he goes to bed.
Otherwise, it would have gone out with Lei...General Manager Lei Da."
Fiona suddenly came to her senses. Yes, Xiaobai is most afraid of the cold. He has not even gone out in the past two days, and he can't even eat, but he has gained a lot of weight.
She looked at the officer next to her questioningly and said, "What exactly is going on?"
Sauron spread his hands and said: "We don't know the details, but we know that it seems to be of great importance, so we rushed here while Sarchis was talking to them."
Fiona glanced at him approvingly and said, "You are really thoughtful."
But then, I couldn't help but feel strange. Apart from touching the wallet, the Lich and Xiaobai had nothing to do with each other. How could they be interested in Xiaobai?
She thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason. But in the end, just to be cautious, she still said: "Tell them that Xiaobai is sick and will not see guests."
After saying that, she breathed a sigh of relief: after all, it would be better to have less dealings with those old gangsters.
Everyone in the Semitic tribe knows that when a lich comes to your doorstep, nothing good will happen.
At this moment, I heard a burst of harsh and unpleasant laughter at the front door, like a night ghost.
Immediately, accompanied by Sarkis, two withered people in black clothes walked in. As they moved, through the gaps between the black robes, one could vaguely see the pale skin inside.
Or a blackened skeleton.
And as soon as you enter the door, you are greeted by a fishy smell that makes you feel nauseous.
They are like a plague, leaving a space of several meters wide around them wherever they go.
Next to them, Sakis kept smiling with them, but he was still five feet away from them. Under that smile, he could not hide the disgust hidden inside.
Sakis came to the front, saw Fiona's pretty face frosty, staring at him coldly, and immediately smiled bitterly, and then said: "Miss Fiona, these two adults have an extremely important relationship that affects me.
Regarding the future of the clan, I want to meet Xiaobai."
Fiona crossed her arms, looked at the two lichs coldly, and said mockingly: "It's extremely important? It doesn't hurt to say this. Xiaobai can only touch people's wallets. When will it matter to our clan?
A future?
If this is the case, then the future of our Semitic people would be too tragic, right?"
At this time, a lich could no longer bear it any longer, stepped forward, and scolded coldly: "You are a little girl, what do you know~!
This matter is extremely important. It is very likely that there is a big spy of the human race hidden among you. We are doing this for your own good~!"
As he spoke, he slammed the bone staff in his hand and shouted angrily: "Get out of the way~!"
Fiona hesitated for a moment, but then the blood unique to the Semitic people surged up.
She shouted softly: "You just give in if you say so? This is my territory. My aunt, I won't give in yet. What do you want? Don't think you are witches... Undead Archmage, but you can't lift me wherever you go."
One reason. If it doesn’t work, we will go to the high priest to file a lawsuit. Who is afraid of whom~!"
The officers and soldiers next to her looked at her and immediately sighed: Facing such a powerful person, she still had no fear and talked freely. This courage alone was enough to shame and kill a lot of men. Sure enough,
As expected of my sons and daughters of the Semitic tribe~!
They immediately puffed up their chests and stared at the two lichs with malicious expressions.
What about the Necromancer?
Grandma's. No matter what kind of mage, within five steps, they are all fucking braised pig heads. I'll chop him down with one knife~!
Edwood's eyes immediately lit up with anger.
At this time, another lich next to him came forward.
He looked at Fiona's pretty face and said softly: "Little girl, don't be angry. This matter is indeed of great concern. Just let us take a look. If there is no problem, we will
I turned around and left. And I will never bother you again."
Fiona heard that what he said was reasonable, and she was helpless immediately. What's more, the hidden threat he made was also very accurate - if we are not allowed to see him, then we will continue to disturb him.
She immediately nodded reluctantly and said, "You can only take a look."
Herod nodded, then put his hand on his chest and said, "I promise."
Fiona winked at the guards next to her and motioned for them to follow them and keep an eye on the two lichs. Then she turned around and led the two of them to Xiaobai's living room.
As soon as I entered, I felt a blast of hot air blowing against my face.
Everyone immediately calmed down, and then they saw that there were huge stoves placed on all four sides of the room. The charcoal fire inside was burning brightly, and Xiaobai was lying on the thick blanket in the middle, not even simmering.
He dozed off on the ground, and in his sleep, he still rolled up an apple or something, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and then fell asleep again. This fully demonstrated what a pure foodie should look like.
Hearing the footsteps of everyone, it just lazily opened its eyes and took a look, then did not get up, wagging its long nose to greet them.
But then it smelled the stench of the undead, its eyes widened, and it suddenly got up from the ground, about to go forward and fight.
Fiona hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Xiaobai, be good. It doesn't matter. They just came to see you."
As he spoke, he gently patted its big head and whispered to comfort it.
At this time, Edwood had already taken out the promotional poster and compared it with Xiaobai seriously.
Xiao Bai didn't know why for a moment, but out of the professionalism he had cultivated over a long period of time, he still curled up his nose, blinked his eyes, and put on a cute pose - since you are here to see me, let me tell you
Take a good look at how handsome Mr. Bai is~!
The two lichs immediately looked at each other. They both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
