Du Wei sighed and lowered his head to look at Qiao Qiao's face, but Qiao Qiao turned his head away forcefully. Du Wei rolled his eyes: "Do you hate me?"
"snort!!!"
"I said, you are always humming. Do you have a toothache?"
Qiao Qiao became angry, jumped up, bared her teeth and claws, raised her fists and beat Du Wei like a drum. Fortunately, although Miss Qiao was still angry, she still felt sorry for Du Wei. Otherwise, with her eighth-level warrior strength,
, when the fighting spirit is running, how can the movement be so small?
Du Wei deliberately took a few punches, but took advantage of the momentum and pulled Qiao Qiao into his arms. Qiao Qiao struggled a few times, but couldn't get away, and simply stopped moving. He raised his head and glared at Du Wei: "Speak for yourself."
Say! I’ve been in the north for so long and I haven’t even received a single letter! Also, you refused to let us go to the north with you! But... hum! I heard that Elu is back with you! Also, there is Miu.
Si!! You deliberately didn’t take Vivian and me to the north, just to make it easier for you to do bad things!"
Du Wei immediately shouted: "Muse ran away from home on his own. Besides, Muse has nothing to do with me."
Qiaoqiao snorted and glared at Du Wei: "What about that little girl Ailu!"
Du Wei was speechless. Ai Lu had some ambiguous thoughts about him, but Qiao Qiao knew this best. Don't forget, Qiao Qiao had gone to the snow-capped mountains with him.
She laughed twice, but Du Wei held Qiao Qiao in his arms. Regardless of her struggle, he kissed her twice on the face. Qiao Qiao's face turned red. But suddenly he opened his mouth and bit Du Wei's cheek hard.
On the shoulders, it was just that Du Wei was too strong now. Qiao Qiao bit her teeth so hard that it hurt, but she couldn't even leave a tooth mark. She was a little discouraged and said angrily: "You, you will bully our sisters."
two!"
Du Wei coughed and smiled. But he quickly changed the subject and whispered: "I know you understand things best. Well... there is one more thing I want to ask of you."
"Ask me for something? No need to talk!!" Qiao Qiao shook her head.
Du Wei sighed deliberately: "I know that you, Miss Qiao, are the most loyal. That little Muse used to play around with you and did a lot of nonsense with you. You and her are finally together.
Friends, it can be considered a friendship. I brought her back this time, but she ran away from home after all. Now she is back to Mrs. Lister. I heard that Mrs. Lister was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
I'm afraid that her family will be punished, and I'm worried that Muse's legs will be broken..."
"Breaking the legs?" Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, stopped making trouble, and was a little nervous. She said seriously: "No...it won't really be such a severe punishment, right?"
Du Wei shook his head: "I don't know. But I heard that the Liszt family has very strict family laws."
After all, Qiao Qiao was still loyal and sighed: "Okay, I'll go check it out later and I won't let that guy Muse have his legs broken." He paused and said angrily: "You said so.
That's right, Mrs. Lister, I don't think she is a good person, huh..."
It turns out that Mrs. Liszt's thoughts about Du Wei are well known in the circle of the Northwest Tulip family. Naturally, Qiao Qiao doesn't like the charming and beautiful Marquise very much, so her words are not very polite.
.
Seeing that Miss Qiao finally stopped being angry, Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I heard from Vivian that you made a gift for me?"
When Qiao Qiao heard this, her face immediately turned red. She gently got out of Du Wei's arms, jumped to the side, pulled something out from behind the bed, and quickly threw it to Du Wei. But she hurriedly said: "That's it.
This is it! You...you must not think it is bad! Otherwise...or else I...I will stab a transparent hole in you with my sword!"
Du Wei smiled and took it, but it was a cloak. Although the material of this cloak was of high quality, Du Wei had always lived a wealthy life, so it was fine. But the workmanship seemed a bit poor. That corner
It was obvious that the stitching was a little crooked at the beginning, but later on it became much more precise.
This cloak is made of black background, with a huge earth tulip embroidered on it, surrounded by a ball of flames, just like a tulip flower blooming in the flames. This flower is embroidered very fair, just look carefully
Go, there are a lot of pinholes in the cloak. It was obviously sewn and taken apart, taken apart and sewn again. I don’t know how many times it was done before it finally looked like something.
When Du Wei saw it, he guessed that it must have been done by Qiao Qiao himself. He couldn't help but feel touched that Qiao Qiao had a hot temper and was the most impatient girl. This kind of needlework requires the most patience.
.With Miss Qiao’s temper, it’s easy for her to wield a sword, it’s easy for her to kill with a glare, and it’s no problem for her to wave a wand, but it’s easy for her to pinch a needle and fetch a thread, but it will cost her her life.
Although the workmanship of this cloak is simpler and cruder, I don't know how many days it took this young lady to complete it.
Seeing Du Wei holding the cloak there in a daze, not knowing what the expression on his face meant, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved: "Don't you like it? Hey! Du Wei, if you don't like it, I... I'll just tear it up
it!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to grab it. Du Wei quickly turned sideways and blocked Qiaoqiao's hand: "Who says I don't like it! It's very good! It's very good!"
Qiao Qiao's eyes turned red: "I know what I did was not good. I've seen it. The maids in the house did it ten times better than me! Alas, this thing is so ugly. It would be embarrassing for you to wear it out, right?
Give it back to me and tear it up!"
"Nonsense." Du Wei raised his hand and put the cloak behind him: "From now on, when I wear armor, I will wear the cloak you made!" After a pause, he shook his head and said repeatedly, "What a pity! What a pity.
!”
"What's a pity?" Qiao Qiao glanced at Du Wei.
Du Wei sighed: "It's a pity that when I come back this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the northern front line in the short term. If I don't return to the front line, I will naturally not be able to wear armor again. This cloak..."
Qiao Qiao was overjoyed at first: "Are you not going back to the front line?" Then she became a little helpless: "Then... don't wear it if you don't want to wear it."
But Du Wei shook his head: "Who says I don't wear it! The stuff made by Qiaoqiao is worth a thousand dollars! If I don't wear it outside, I just wear it close-fitting inside!"
After hearing this, Qiao Qiao chuckled: "How could anyone wear a cloak close to their body?"
Even so, his eyes were filled with unconcealable joy.
Du Wei looked at Qiao Qiao's charming smile and couldn't help but feel moved. He went up and picked her up. When Qiao Qiao exclaimed, he threw her on the bed. Qiao Qiao exclaimed: "What are you doing?"
?”
Du Wei laughed loudly. He ran out of the door after a gust of wind. After a while, a exclamation came from the yard, but it was Vivian's voice. Then he heard footsteps and saw Du Wei bringing Vivian to the door.
He also carried it on his shoulders, rushed into the room quickly, kicked the door shut, and threw Vivian on the bed.
Looking at the pair of sisters on the bed, Du Wei felt very happy. He laughed three times and pounced on them like a tiger attacking its prey. There was a burst of screams, exclamations and laughter. The three of them had already rolled into a ball on the bed.
Qiaoqiao exclaimed: "You...you...it's not dark yet!" As he said that, he pushed Du Wei with his hand.
Du Wei chuckled, then grabbed Qiao Qiao's wrist and bit him hard: "It doesn't matter whether it's day or night when you do this kind of thing! Come on, come on. A little goodbye is better than a wedding!"
Qiao Qiao was helpless and scolded with a smile: "You are the most scoundrel, Vivian, kick him quickly!"
But before Vivian could say anything, Du Wei touched her face. Her pink face suddenly turned red, and her eyes were so thick that they were almost dripping with water. She just said: "I. I, I..." Where?
Do you still have any intention of resisting? Du Wei pulled Vivian into his arms and said with a smile: "My precious little silly girl will never reject me."
As he said that, he used his other hand to pull Qiaoqiao. Qiaoqiao laughed and raised her legs to kick. However, Du Wei grabbed her ankle and ran his hand along Qiaoqiao's slender and smooth ankle.
He touched his calf all the way up. Du Wei pinched Qiao Qiao's calf, and his body suddenly went limp. He felt that all the strength in his body was gone. At this moment, in his heart, he could not remember any martial arts moves. He finally said yes, but his head
He slammed into Du Wei's arms.
The three of them rolled into a ball on the bed, and there were screams at first, and then gradually...
Du Wei spent the whole night at home messing around with a pair of lovely wives. When he woke up the next morning, he saw two beautiful girls beside him, one holding him on the left and the other on the right, their hair covering their faces.
There was a blush on my face, and I couldn't help but feel infinitely satisfied in my heart. I just felt that life was like this, and there was no regret at all.
He stood up quietly, but deliberately pinched both Vivian and Qiaoqiao's faces, then put on a robe and got out of the bed, and walked out of the room quietly.
After all, he had been in the north for many days and had lived a life of abstinence for a long time. Last night, the little farewell was better than the wedding. After a whole night of fooling around, he vented out the energy he had been holding back for several months. The two girls
Naturally, I was exhausted from all the tossing and didn't fall asleep until nearly dawn.
Du Wei walked out of the room and looked at the sky. Despite the early winter weather, it was a rare sunny day in the imperial capital today. He stretched hard, took a deep breath, and felt light and refreshed.
He and Vivian Qiaoqiao lived together in the backyard. Servants were not allowed to enter at will on weekdays. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to do so wantonly last night.
He walked out of the backyard, summoned the servants to help him wash up, ate something, called the guard Elder Yan, and then took the people and went to the military headquarters.
On this day, Du Wei visited Camisillo from the military headquarters, and went to Count Villa's mansion. In the afternoon, he went to see the fat man from Delan Mountain Warcraft, and in the evening he went to the imperial capital himself.
industry, I heard little Zach report on the business situation.
When they returned home in the evening, Vivian and Qiaoqiao naturally got up early, but told Du Wei that someone had sent an invitation. Du Wei looked at it and raised his eyebrows.
"Oh? Gao Cha? He invited me to help me?" Du Wei snorted and thought for a moment: "We don't agree with each other, so we don't need to pay attention to him. Anyway, I'm going to fall out with him these days, so there's no need.
Socialize with him hypocritically."
After saying that, he tore up the invitation card casually.
In the next three days, the newly appointed Vice Minister of State, Earl Gaucha, sent an invitation to his home every day. Du Wei would tear it up after reading it. For these three days, Du Wei went out every day and met him in the past.
A group of old friends from the imperial capital, such as Camisillo and others, met, and also visited the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Ceremony, and some generals from the military. Old colleagues from the Imperial Military Academy, and even some acquaintances from the Imperial Supervisory Office,
We all had dinner with the commander of the Imperial City Public Security Bureau, but he ignored Gao Cha's invitation.
On the fourth day, Gao Cha no longer sent anyone to deliver invitations.
A few days later, the funeral of the Prince Regent was finally held.
The mourning hall in the palace has been placed for a full month. Representatives of the imperial court and the nobles from all over the empire have gone to pay their respects in person. According to tradition, because the members of the royal family are all nominal believers, and although Prince Chen is not the emperor, he is
But he enjoys the emperor's standards, and the standard of the funeral is also imperial. According to tradition, the emperor's funeral should be personally presided over by the Pope of the Church of Light.
However, Pope Paul XVI has rarely made public appearances in recent years, and it is said that he has also had some health problems. Of course, Du Wei knew this. This was obviously an excuse to refuse. Prince Chen agreed to worship the Pope as his godfather before he came to the throne.
He directly promoted his son to the throne, which was considered to be in line with the Pope. The Pope has not yet swallowed this tone. Now that Prince Chen is dead, it would be great if the Pope does not come to open the coffin and whip the body, and is he willing to preside over the funeral?!
Sure enough, Pope Paul XVI did not come, but Archbishop Maximos was sent. This archbishop is now recognized as the successor of the Pope. His status and weight are sufficient. Moreover, he is an old acquaintance of Du Wei.
, regarded as one of the private allies.
The funeral of Prince Chen was very grand. For this funeral, the royal family specially opened a route from the palace to the outside of the city. The royal family spent a huge sum of money and used more than 100,000 black roses to scatter along this passage.
superior.
On the day of the funeral, three thousand Royal Guardsmen were all dressed in black armor and black cloaks. Even their helmets were decorated with black feathers. They lined up neatly to clear the way. Behind the queue, a dozen strong men with good military levels were carrying a heavy special sarcophagus.
, followed by members of the royal family.
The little emperor Charlie followed behind, wearing a black robe, holding a scepter in his hand, with a solemn expression, followed by the queen, princess, princess and so on.
As a first-class minister of the empire, Du Wei walked at the front of the queue of ministers, followed closely by the ministers of the empire, ministers of various ministries, military generals, etc. In order to express condolences, the people in the queue
No one was riding a horse, everyone was on foot.
There was no mourning or music, but the petals of black roses scattered along the way were flying, adding a bit of a heavy atmosphere of mourning. The queue was silent, no one was making any noise, only the queen and others were crying quietly in the queue.
At the end of the procession were the family members of various aristocratic families, the ladies, aristocratic children, aristocratic girls, etc. Those with titles walked in front, and those without titles walked in the back.
In addition, on both sides of the queue, there were eight Grand Priests sent from the temple. As they walked along the way, they solemnly recited hymns from the scriptures. At the end of the queue, there were several magicians sent by the Magic Guild to act as representatives.
As for the Knights Association, which is nominally one of the three major organizations in the mainland, although it has regained some strength recently, it is still inferior to the Magic Guild and the Temple. In terms of status, it can only be at the end of the queue, far behind.
At the end. The president of the Knights Association, Knight Delon, is wearing silver armor, and the long sword in his hand is wrapped with black veil. Behind him are the members of the "Sword of Roland" knights composed of the winners of the last tournament.
Follow behind.
This huge queue started from the palace in the morning. Because they walked slowly, they walked for two hours before finally reaching the door.
When a dozen strong men carried the sarcophagus to the city gate, the thorn flower flag above the city gate was slowly lowered by half as a sign of mourning. All the defenders on the city wall knelt down and bowed their heads.
Head salute.
At this time, there was already a sound of crying all around.
On the day of the funeral, hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial capital came to deliver a message to the young king of the empire. From the Imperial City Square in front of the palace to the city gate, the road was almost full of people kneeling on their knees.
people.
The people of Roland Continent seem to be very loyal to the royal family, especially the people of the imperial capital. Moreover, Prince Chen is a wise king and is quite popular. At his funeral, more than half of the residents in the imperial capital spontaneously came forward.
The number of people who came to bid farewell to the Prince Regent was many times greater than at the funeral of the old emperor Augustine VI.
All the way outside the city, the funeral ceremony came to an end. Then the sarcophagus was loaded into a special carriage, and the imperial guards also got on their horses. The ministers and nobles who saw him off also got on their carriages.
The funeral procession will leave the Imperial Capital directly and head to a place more than ten miles away from the Imperial Capital City:
Imperial mausoleum!
According to the customs of Roland Continent, even when an emperor dies, the funeral is solemn, but the cemetery is not too luxurious. This is very different from the ancient Chinese emperors in the world where Du Wei lived in his previous life.
When the emperor dies, he is always buried in the traditional imperial mausoleum of the Roland Empire royal family. This mausoleum is far away from the imperial capital, covers a vast area, and is surrounded by mountains and rivers. All emperors of the empire are buried in this place. Moreover, people in this world,
There is no habit of using many luxurious burial objects, so no one in future generations will rob tombs.
Outside the imperial mausoleum, a battalion of troops is stationed and guarded all year round.
The weather was very good and the roads were smooth. In the afternoon, the funeral procession arrived at the Imperial Tomb District in the southern suburbs of the imperial capital.
Dozens of emperors from the founding of the Roland Empire to the present are buried here, as well as all direct members of the royal family. Even the eldest prince Yawen, who was defeated and died in a coup a few years ago, is buried here.
Moreover, in order to protect this place, Du Wei heard that there are palace magicians from the royal family who guard this place all year round to prevent these emperors from being disturbed after their death.
When the funeral procession arrived in the afternoon, the burial ceremony began.
Seeing the sarcophagus containing the body of Prince Chen being slowly put into the tomb, Du Wei, who was standing at the front of the crowd, couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He glanced at the royal family members and saw that the queen was already crying so hard that she couldn't even stand
Both the little princesses Karina and Louise were in tears.
Although the little emperor Charlie looked sad, Du Wei noticed that the corners of his eyes were very clean.
Although the nobles from various families mourning the funeral also made mournful sounds, not many people actually cried.
What surprised Du Wei a little was that even Prince Chen's direct descendant, Minister of Military Affairs Camisillo, did not shed tears. But the fat man, the Delan Mountain Warcraft, who had never been looked down upon by others and was full of copper odor, cried.
It was like a tearful person.
The burial ceremony began. First, the young emperor Charles read a condolence speech in public. Du Wei knew as soon as he heard it that it was something written in advance. Then, Archbishop Maximos, who presided over the funeral, began to speak with a passage from the canon.
Words to preach...
"...When he was born, he was bathed in the glory of God. God gave him everything, glory, pride, courage, loyalty, responsibility..."
After all, Archbishop Maximus was old and his voice was a little hoarse. Amidst the mournful crying around him, his voice was not very clear. Du Wei just listened silently, looking at the coffin in the tomb...
During the speech of Archbishop Maximus, the little emperor walked up, picked up the shovel, covered the first shovel with soil, and then handed the shovel to the people around him.
A dozen strong men began to scatter soil into the tomb.
At this time, the crying became louder, and Archbishop Maximus could only raise his voice and continue to read his prayer: "...all the virtues prescribed by God are reflected in him. Kindness, intelligence,
kindness……"
But at this moment, Du Wei suddenly felt something in his heart, and a strange feeling surged out from deep in his heart like a tide!!!
His current strength can be said to be almost at the level of a demigod!
Although it is a non-rechargeable battery, before the battery is exhausted, his strength can be said to be the top in the mainland! His powerful spiritual sense makes him extremely sensitive to all changes around him!
Sure enough, as if to confirm his perception, he suddenly heard a faint roar of thunder from the horizon!
Looking up, I saw the originally cloudless and clear sky. In an instant, dark clouds appeared on the horizon!
Then, the sky seemed to get a little darker!
That muffled thunder was definitely not a natural phenomenon! Du Wei felt something vaguely in his heart, as if his heartbeat had accelerated a bit!
Then, suddenly, the sun hanging high in the sky suddenly seemed to flash! The originally strong sunlight suddenly dimmed!
I saw a faint shadow at the edge of the sun, slowly swallowing up the edge of the sun disk, eating away the sunlight bit by bit!!
Although the shadow spread slowly, it became bigger and bigger. In a few moments, half of the sun was occupied by the shadow!
Du Wei's heart was beating wildly and his breath was a little unsteady!
Sun, sun, total solar eclipse??!!!
boom!!
There seemed to be some sensation in my mind, and it suddenly exploded!!
Du Wei felt as if he could faintly feel a powerful force in his heart, coming from the sky! It felt like a bucket of cold water suddenly poured down from his head, and he seemed to feel that his soul was trembling!!
Amidst the exclamations around, the sun has been almost completely blocked! The sky and the earth suddenly fell into darkness, as if they were plunged into night!
This sudden and strange sight caused the mournful and weeping voices around to stop. Even Archbishop Maximos, who was standing above and praying, couldn't help but stop his voice and looked up at the sky in surprise!
At this moment, the sun has been completely blocked...
Du Wei felt his mouth was dry and his heart was so excited that he finally couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice: "It's a total solar eclipse! Total solar eclipse!!!"
At this time, suddenly, he felt that in the distance, in the northwest direction, there was a sudden wave of powerful energy. It was as if an extremely powerful man was exuding all his momentum!
Du Wei felt something in his heart, and he looked around. With his current strength, his eyes could easily see distant movements clearly even without using the magic of Eagle Eye. What's more, with his spiritual thoughts, he could see at a glance.
He traveled dozens of miles in an instant!
Sure enough, Du Wei clearly saw a figure on the horizon. The figure exuded a fierce and ferocious momentum. Above the sky, piercing the clouds and wind, with a burst of arrogance, it flew quickly towards the direction of the imperial capital.
!!
The muffled thundering sounds in the sky were all caused by this man flying!
Du Wei screamed in his heart: It's a total solar eclipse! That old Chris guy is out!!!
At this moment, the surroundings were already in chaos. This sudden and strange sight was somewhat frightening and unknown and mysterious.
Du Wei took advantage of the chaos and retreated from the crowd, staring into the distance...
Chris's figure suddenly emitted an astonishing golden light in the distant sky, and the figure also transformed into the shape of a giant dragon in the golden light! Chris is now possessed by the body of a golden dragon, but at this moment it is
Completely showing his form!
In the distance in the sky, a loud roar came from the dragon! The golden dragon roared with all its strength, and the sound wave was sent hundreds of miles away almost instantly! I am afraid that even people in the imperial capital can hear the sound clearly.
!The people here in the Imperial Tomb were also startled by the majestic and awe-inspiring dragon roar, and the crowd immediately became chaotic.
But Du Wei understood that this was Old Chris's whistle on purpose, but it was actually calling him!!
Looking at the total solar eclipse in the sky... Du Wei understands!
The time has come!! Old Chris has been waiting to find the treasure left by the devil. The time has come to open it!!
Unable to hesitate, Du Wei immediately gritted his teeth and quickly retreated far away, then jumped into the air, turned into a ray of light, and sped away in the direction of Chris!!
"Duwei!!"
Below, although the crowd was chaotic, among the funeral procession and the family members of the Tulip family, there were naturally Qiaoqiao and Vivian. They had been paying attention to Du Wei. Seeing Du Wei leave, Qiaoqiao and Vivian looked at each other.
He glanced at it, why did he care so much? He cast his magic without hesitation, flew up, and chased Du Wei far away in the direction where he left!
The sky was still dark. After the total solar eclipse, it seemed to have froze. The sun was still tightly blocked, and the shadow showed no sign of fading away...
The earth has fallen into darkness. Looking down from the sky, it seems that darkness has swallowed up the whole world. There seems to be no light in the world anymore!
