She didn't know what the stranger in front of her planned to do, but the identity of the secret envoy of the Heretic Tribunal was a very formidable existence.
especially.
The other party seemed to have handed them over to the emissary of the Heretic Tribunal.
So, what else can be done?
Mrs. Hirsch shouted nervously: "I have told you everything I know! Even if you want to do something, can you let Geraint go? He is just a child! If you are worried that he will take revenge, you can use magic
Seal his memory!"
The little boy was originally scared and hiding behind her.
After hearing this, the boy suddenly widened his eyes, tugged on Mrs. Hirsch's sleeve and said, "I don't want this!"
Mrs. Hirsch looked at him anxiously: "Geraint, I told you, don't be willful!"
Perhaps because of the fear and fear in her heart, Mrs. Hirsch's expression was a little distorted. Her red eyes lacked the kindness and peace of the past, and she stared tightly at the boy in her arms.
The boy opened his mouth.
He wanted to say something, but he unconsciously fell silent under such a look, and just tugged on Mrs. Hirsch's sleeve harder.
Mrs. Hirsch looked at Xu Shuo again, with pleading in her eyes.
It was rare to meet someone who was so clear-headed about his situation. Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He said with great interest: "I am very curious. His relationship with you should not be regarded as a direct descendant. He is not even a surname of the Wald family. Why do you protect him so much?"
Mrs. Hirsch pursed her lips: "What does the last name matter? As long as he has my blood flowing in his body, it will be fine, right?"
Xu Shuo's eyes flickered: "So, do you know what's special about your lineage?"
After saying this, he stared closely at Mrs. Hirsch's expression.
Sure enough, I saw a trace of confusion flashing through the other party's eyes, as if he was puzzled by this problem, or maybe it was just a trace of conditioned doubt.
Mrs. Hirsch soon reacted.
She seemed a little confused: "What's special? I don't know what you mean specifically. The only special thing about our royal family of San Vallo is that unlike those families that were once prominent and then declined and disappeared, our bloodline has lasted for thousands of years."
A long time.”
Xu Shuo raised the corners of his lips with unclear meaning: "Yes, it is a very ancient family."
At this time.
Catalina, who was waiting aside after coming out, couldn't help but said: "Are you done with the gossip? How about we get down to business quickly?"
Just now, I asked her to hide and see Mrs. Hershey's reaction, to see if the other party could detect her presence.
And now let her come out.
As a result, the two of them suddenly said something else.
Should I let her try?
Let’s talk about business.
Mrs. Hirsch became nervous again.
Xu Shuo smiled when he heard this and gestured to Catalina.
Catalina quickly took two steps forward and came to the two people squatting on the ground. Mrs. Hirsch had already hugged Geraint tightly and closed her eyes.
When she can't see it.
Catalina's eyes suddenly shrank into vertical needles, and a vague chill was released. This was not the activation of Dawn's faith, but the instinctive reaction of the blood of the ice and snow elves in her body.
The next moment, Mrs. Hershey opened her eyes.
She looked up in shock: "Ice and Snow Elf!"
After blurting out these words, Mrs. Hirsch quickly realized something and quickly covered her mouth with one hand.
But obviously, her concealing gestures had no effect.
Xu Shuo looked at her with a half-smile, "Don't you know what's special about your lineage?"
Mrs. Hirsch looked pale.
At this time, Catalina, who was standing silently by the side, suddenly realized something. She frowned and looked up and down at Mrs. Hershey as if in shock.
Xu Shuo looked at her: "What's wrong?"
Catalina looked surprised and uncertain: "It's strange. I vaguely feel that she is indeed a mixed-blood elf, but she seems to be different from ordinary mixed-blood elves. I'm not sure..."
He said the same thing again as when he met General Royce last time.
——Not sure.
Xu Shuo asked: "Can it be controlled then?"
Then.
He saw that Catalina's face was visibly embarrassed. He already knew the answer to this expression without the elf taking the initiative to say it.
Xu Shuo looked calm: "If this is the case, then you seem to be of no use."
The voice fell.
Catalina suddenly looked at the young man.
Then the ice and snow elf looked aggrieved and accusing: "What do you mean, is this all I'm good for? And I just haven't figured out what she is yet. The blood connection is just a little difficult, but it's not completely impossible!"
Xu Shuo looked at her lazily: "Then try again."
Catalina pursed her lips stubbornly.
Mrs. Hershey had already realized something while listening to the unabashed conversation between the two.
sound.
This ice elf seems to be controlled by others.
But it sounds like.
The ice elf didn't seem to want to see them either.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Hershey suddenly said: "Our lineage is indeed a mixed-blood elf, passed down from my great-grandmother. The Buller family, the former Duke Buller won this throne for my brother."
This relationship is a bit old.
But decades ago.
It was precisely because of Duke Buller's information that the siblings knew that they had the blood of ice elves flowing in them.
Xu Shuo rubbed his chin: "Then, according to this genetic, the current Saint Varro royal family should all be mixed-blood elves."
Mrs. Hirsch shook her head: "No, the original Duke Buller said that blood only flows in our bodies, and its power will not spread to every heir."
"So this generation is Geraint?" Xu Shuo suddenly looked at the little boy in her arms.
"Yes..." Mrs. Hirsch had to admit.
It is precisely because of this.
Mrs. Hirsch was particularly fond of this child.
Because she felt that this child was their true direct descendant, and that the special blood power had been passed down to them.
Now that so much information has been revealed.
In order to win this person's favor, he spared their life.
Mrs. Hershey continued bravely: "We know that there is a curse in the body of the mixed-blood elf, and even if it is conceived, it will not live for twenty years.
"So in order to ensure the continuation of his heirs, Duke Buller used ancient magic to seal the blood power in our bodies.
"This seal will make the inheritance of the blood thinner, but it has to be done in order to survive.
“So when my brother and I were born, there were only two of us.
"And now, there is no royal heir among my brother's descendants. Only Geraint is the only one of this generation."
"This is all I know."
Mrs. Hirsch said nervously.
Xu Shuo exclaimed with great interest: "So, could it be that the new king that Walder XVIII is really optimistic about is actually Geraint, who is not the royal family of Saint-Varro?"
Mrs. Hirsch did not respond to this gossip, she lowered her head and remained silent.
Walder XVIII is now over half a year old. The longest lifespan of a human being in this world is only about a hundred years old, and the king's lifespan is somewhat short-lived.
But until now, there has been no sign that the candidate for the new king will be scheduled. There are different opinions from the outside world, but no one has ever thought that the new king will be His Royal Highness outside the royal family of San Vallo.
But after hearing about this incident.
Looking at Mrs. Hirsch's protection of Geraint and the manner in which she often brought the child to the palace to play, it is hard not to imagine.
Xu Shuo took a small bite of the melon.
And this time.
Catalina, who had been holding her breath and trying hard at the side, suddenly paused, then quickly stepped forward with a cold face, and suddenly scratched Mrs. Hershey's face with sharp claws.
"ah!"
Mrs. Hirsch screamed.
She dodged back in panic due to conditioned reflex, and Geraint in her arms also broke away at this time and opened her arms to block Mrs. Hirsch.
However, the injury has already been injured.
A few streaks of blood stuck to Catalina's fingers.
Xu Shuo turned around questioningly.
Then Catalina stretched out her tongue and licked the blood on her hand without hesitation.
Wait until she finishes licking it.
A joking voice came from the side.
"I asked you to have a taste before but you didn't. So you want to try something new yourself?"
"..."
Catalina's body suddenly stiffened.
After a while.
Catalina, who pretended not to hear what she just said, glared at Mrs. Hirsch with gritted teeth, a look in her eyes full of grief and anger.
"It's the blood power exercised by Dawn!"
Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Catalina clenched her fist: "The blood power in their bodies is not only the blood of elves, but also the power of Dawn Faith. I couldn't feel it before. It must be the fault of the seal."
Speaking of which.
Catalina also vented her anger on Xu Shuo: "That seal also has the methods of your Holy See of Light!"
Xu Shuo paused: "Really?"
Then, Xu Shuo waved gently.
A few drops of blood flew out from the open wound on Mrs. Hirsch's forehead. Xu Shuo stuck it on his hand, then put it in his mouth and tasted it.
Mrs. Hershey looked at them as if they were looking at something perverted.
Xu Shuo thoughtfully said: "I don't feel it."
Unexpectedly, except for the Silver City-State.
The Holy See of Light actually provides outsourcing services to other people?
But it feels different from the sealing method of Silver City State.
In comparison, it was done by the Holy See of Light.
Xu Shuo is more inclined to believe that the ice elves imitated the methods of the Holy See of Light, or that Duke Buller stole the magic books of the Holy See of Light.
After all, the Holy See of Light has indeed lost a lot of things in history.
At this time.
Mrs. Hershey, who was kneeling on the ground, groaned, and then she stood up straight.
Xu Shuo looked up and saw Mrs. Hirsch's face full of fear, as if she was quite surprised by his reaction, and her eyes kept expressing pleading.
Catalina looked cold: "Is this okay?"
Xu Shuo thought thoughtfully: "So do you want them to be injured, or do you want to take a sip of their blood first?"
Catalina felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this.
Then Mrs. Hirsch felt her body suddenly loosen up, and she staggered into the wall next to the curtain. She reacted and quickly pulled Geraint behind her to protect her.
Catalina said uncomfortably: "You don't need to take a sip or anything, just feel the power of their blood. Although they are the descendants of the previous generation of Dawn Exercises, I am the real Dawn Exercises now."
Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows: "Because you can't sense the power of their blood using ordinary means?"
Catalina nodded reluctantly.
In short.
They always had to cut Wald XVIII's body first, then steal his blood and give it to Catalina to taste.
Although the difficulty has been increased.
But it's not impossible anyway.
And a small plot point was discovered, although this plot point seems to be Sora's departure.
Xu Shuo nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left the palace without saying anything else.
Catalina, who was standing nearby, reacted. She quickly changed her face and glared at the two mixed elves in front of her, and then quickly caught up with the young man.
Mrs. Hirsch looked at their backs in confusion until she could no longer see them. Then her tense nerves suddenly relaxed. Her body lost all strength and fell to her knees. She hugged Geraint tightly in fear.
Geraint hugged back without saying a word.
The boy's eyes were staring straight in the direction outside the palace, his lake-blue eyes unable to distinguish his expression.
…
After leaving the palace.
Catalina asked curiously: "Won't you kill those two people? What if they inform?"
Xu Shuo smiled: "I am a principled person."
Catalina was confused.
Obviously she doesn't know where this principle lies.
She saw that the young man did not leave Tantino Castle, but turned to other places in the royal palace. Suddenly, a golden light soared into the sky in a castle in front of them, and the arc light was even projected into the sky.
It was an extremely rich aura of light.
Although she didn't know what happened over there, it was definitely related to the Holy See of Light, so Catalina's subconscious vigilance was relaxed.
She was about to ask.
As a result, the ground suddenly shook slightly, and then several horses were seen rushing out of the castle, and hundreds of thousands of Holy See troops wearing white-gold armor rushed out of the castle.
Catalina was stunned.
Xu Shuo did not stand on the road to block the progress of the Holy See Army. He stepped aside and gave way, and also showed a light aura on his body.
Seeing that it was one of their own, the Holy See Army's charge did not stop, and they rushed out of Fort Titanium from the avenue of the royal palace.
But when the Holy See Army passed by.
There was still a military commander who pulled the horse and stopped.
"What's going on outside?"
"With the Gate of Pallas as the main battlefield, the entire king has fallen into chaos. The situation is changing and I don't know much about it. I was ordered by His Majesty the Pope to come to Tantinoburg to search for Walder XVIII."
Xu Shuo said seriously, and also showed the badge of the Sun Knights.
After understanding the situation, the Holy See Army Commander nodded, briefly looked at Catalina, then rode off to follow the team.
Catalina continued to look shocked.
After the Holy See army that suddenly appeared left, she slowly came back to her senses, then blinked and asked: "When did you set up such a large teleportation magic circle in Fort Tantino?"
Xu Shuo looked calm: "A few decades ago."
Catalina: "..."
Because that castle is the castle where Princess Teresa, the Nineteenth Royal Highness, lives.
In order to maintain the energy operation of that large magic circle, the Pope of Light spent tens of thousands of dollars on Teresa every year.
As for this magic circle.
It was the chief knight of the Knights of the Sun who smuggled himself over and left behind.
I am not a half-assed chief like Zuo Fang.
It was because of his own strength that he reached the top position at such a young age.
Xu Shuo walked to Teresa's castle.
As the Holy See's stronghold for breaking through the royal capital from within, the Holy See's troops are naturally stationed here.
He showed his Sun Crown Seal and Sun Knights emblem, and as for Catalina's identity, he was brought in as an acolyte.
Xu Shuo first carefully inspected the castle.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual or unusual people, he walked directly to the underground temple of the castle.
Catalina followed closely behind, looking around curiously.
"Don't you think anyone in the Holy See knows you?"
she asked casually.
Xu Shuo also responded casually.
"Then what if someone pretends to be you and commands your Holy See Army?" Catalina said suddenly.
"Look at the sun mark." Xu Shuo said casually.
"What if the person with the mark of the sun is a traitor?" Catalina seemed to be competing.
Xu Shuo turned his head and looked at her.
Catalina had a stubborn face: "Why, our Dawn Movement is thinking of finding human hybrids. Is it impossible for you believers of the Holy See of Light to betray you?"
Xu Shuo smiled: "You're right."
He didn't explain any more.
…
The underground temple is filled with a familiar light atmosphere.
After arriving here, Xu Shuo's posture relaxed a little unconsciously, and then he walked straight to the communication magic circle in the underground temple.
Catalina didn't know what he was going to do.
I found a step and looked at it paralyzed.
Xu Shuo concentrated on drawing magic patterns, condensed a magic jade and teleported it.
He is a messenger in the Silver Shield Legion.
The last contact with the Silver Shield Legion was last night. The Silver Duke said that they had left the Andas Mountains and could enter the Rhine City-State in the Eastern Continent under darkness before dawn to reorganize.
But it was impossible to continue rushing to the royal capital.
After all, it is a taboo of military strategists to march long distances with exhausted troops to besiege a city.
The Silver Shield Legion was already extremely exhausted after traveling thousands of miles away. If they were to face the imperial army waiting for work in this state, even the brave and skilled Silver Shield Legion would probably suffer extremely tragic casualties.
So rest and reorganization is a must.
What's more, the whereabouts of King Walder XVIII are now unknown, the Imperial Army has not fully responded to the battle, and the entire royal capital is like an empty shell.
Then it is even more unnecessary for the Silver Shield Legion to appear at this moment.
Therefore, after Xu Shuo told the situation here.
Think about it again.
I planned to let the Duke of Silver hide his whereabouts, and first go to find out the details of the Russo family in the city of Farr.
If the whereabouts of Wald XVIII could be discovered.
That's even better.
…
My colleague said that my recurrence of fever was probably because I washed my hair.
