The splendid and majestic Prime Minister's Palace is still located there, with slightly less traces of wind, frost and dust than before. This has not diminished its momentum slightly, but has made it more desolate and calm.
It is still the residence of Duke M'Lak, but this Duke M'Lak is no longer the kind-hearted person in the previous impression who can stab you twice at any time. Instead, he is famous for his elegance and ability in discussion, and is known as the mainland
She was the daughter of the youngest and most promising pillar of the country. Asa stood across the street, looking at this long-lost building through the endless crowd of people on the street, and he was completely lost in thought without knowing it.
In his consciously or unconsciously pursuing a stable and free life, almost all the ups and downs in his life came from this huge and magnificent mansion, which contained almost all the dark colors in his life. His love, worldly
, struggle, giving up, persistence, pain, sadness... everything is related to this place. The people and things that have been here are all intertwined and flashed in the mind like the illusionist's magic, and the things that were originally deep in the mind are constantly flashing.
The ground was pulled up, and various foams appeared. He remembered every time he went in and out here, and his mood was completely different every time, but almost every time it was enough for him to remember for a lifetime.
"What are you doing? Why are you dazed? If you want to go, go quickly. Prime Minister Mrak is indeed here now. She handles official business here after the emperor's tour." Talis behind her gave Asa a push.
In order not to attract attention, the temple knight had to follow Asa's advice and put away her knight's uniform and disguise herself. She tied up her blond hair and dressed up like a male warrior. She was already quite unfeminine and charming like this.
She looks very handsome and handsome, and she is quite tall for a man. Even Asa can hardly tell that she is a woman at a glance. Now their group is at least mediocre.
Strange ordinary travelers, two men and two women.
Now that it is discovered that the Red Cardinal is coercing the Queen, and has turned the stumbling block of the Temple Knight into a powerful helper, there is no time left to do anything else. First of all, the affairs of Luya and the Elf Tribe must be resolved first, otherwise the Cardinal and the Elves must be resolved first.
Once the queens join forces and turn the royal capital upside down, they may never have a chance. Therefore, Asa quickly brought Luya here, preparing to take her to see the prime minister to discuss the migration of the elves to Airi.
But when he got here, facing the Duke's Palace, Asa realized that he didn't seem to know what mood or attitude to use when he walked in and faced that person. He frowned and sighed, and returned Talis to the girl he had given her two days ago.
He wrapped the knife and handed it to Luya, saying: "I won't go in. You go there yourself."
"Why?" Luya took the package and looked at him in surprise.
"This is a good opportunity to train you. You just need to show my knife to the guard at the door to the Prime Minister, and she will naturally let you see her. As for Airi and the Whispering Forest, you should also know
What to say to her."
"But I, I really don't know what to do..." Luya hesitated. She didn't deal with people long enough, and now she had to negotiate with the prime minister of a country to complete a major task. This seemed a bit overwhelming.
Asa patted her shoulder easily and said, "Don't worry, your elf's request is actually not too much. She will definitely agree."
Under Asa's comfort and urging, Luya had no choice but to walk to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion alone with her things. After handing Asa's knife to the guard and being brought in by the guard, Luya was led by someone as expected.
Went in.
"You're so weird. It seems like you said you were going to take her in before. Why didn't you go back when you got here?" Talis looked at Asa strangely. "I saw you were staring at the other side in confusion just now. Could it be that
Are you worried that there are experts in the prime minister's palace who can see your true face?"
Asa smiled and did not answer. Instead, the black elf next to him sneered and said, "Do you think the way he looked at the other side just now was because he was worried about the master? Why are the judgments of the temple knights so good?"
Talis glared at her, but then asked: "Then what is he worried about? It doesn't seem like it..."
"Didn't you see that the look in his eyes just now was as gentle as that of a little virgin looking into the home of his first love? The poor virgin who is bound by the iron panties of moral beliefs may not be able to feel this kind of emotion...He used to love love here.
I have been in King Ste for a while, and the Prime Minister was a young girl in her prime. He actually let the elf bring his own weapon in. Is this considered a token? I can’t guess what’s going on from this.
Is it something? He just doesn’t know how to face his little lover who is different from the past."
"Really?" The female knight looked at Asa up and down with her eyes wide open, as if she had seen a monster like him for the first time. "He...he kills without blinking an eye...an evil man who can use necromancy magic...too."
Will there be feelings? I don’t believe it..."
"Anyone who can kill must be a killing machine made of iron. Anyone who does not agree with the teachings of your God of Light is a puppet without emotions... The temple knights seem to have the same mind. The people in your eyes are not human.
It's the symbol defined by the scriptures for you. Hum, I still remember Christine..." The black elf's expression also fell into a trance for a while, and he shook his head and said nothing.
Taliko seemed to want to retort, but she seemed to think of something, so she didn't speak thoughtfully.
Asa also didn't speak. He was looking at Jessica with very surprised eyes. Naturally, he never told her what happened in the royal capital. The key is that he would never have thought that this seemed to have much to do with him.
The black elf, who is connected to the soul, can clearly deduce this with just one look in his eyes.
The black elf rolled his eyes at Asa and said, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me in such a strange way? Am I just a symbol of lust in your eyes?"
"Of course not..." Asa shook his head hurriedly. "It's just... I wonder why you said this..."
"Then just think that I'm a little jealous." Jessica replied calmly while looking at the Duke's Palace in the distance.
Asa looked at Jessica up and down again as if he was meeting her for the first time. Her current loose nomadic dress completely covered her wild and seductive figure, and only a small part of her face was exposed. I don't know.
Why, Asa felt that her background at this time seemed much more attractive than when she was naked...
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Luya, led by the guards, finally arrived at the Prime Minister's study. She met the Prime Minister of Ironfast, Duke of Mrak, Mrak, who was famous for his youth and ability.
Although she had heard about the prime minister's youth and ability, Luya did not expect that she would be such a young, beautiful, dignified and elegant woman. However, the majesty and courage of the prime minister of a country are not due to her beauty.
He was slightly inferior. Even I, who had never had a good impression of human beings, couldn't help but feel trustworthy after seeing her.
Now the Prime Minister's expression seemed to be suppressing some impatience and other difficult-to-distinguish emotions. When she saw Luya coming in, she repelled the guards and the clerk next to her, and ordered the guards to let everyone around them leave.
Don't come near without orders.
After they were the only two people left in the huge study, the prime minister took a deep breath, looked at Luya in as calm a voice as possible and said, "Did he ask you to come to me?"
"Him?" Luya thought for a while, walked to the chair in front of the desk, sat down, and nodded. "Yes."
"Where is he now? In Oufu?" the prime minister seemed to ask casually. She sat at the table, her eyes and fingertips hovering over the knife on the desk. The blade was dark and rough, and her fingers and eyes were all
Delicate, soft and contrasting.
"No, he's outside." Luya replied.
"It's just outside? Why doesn't he come in?" At this moment, the Prime Minister's expression completely restored the surprise and astonishment she had when she was a girl, but it was only for this moment. In the next moment, she put these emotions back again
Buried deep in his expression, he just sighed and said lightly: "Why is he still like this? Are you sorry...I guess it's official business for you to come to me? If you have anything to say, just say it."
Luya was stunned. She really didn't expect that it would go as smoothly as Asa said. After thinking about what Elder Lloyd said, she said: "That's it... Prime Minister Mrak, our elves hope to migrate back to Whisper again.
Forest, and the Whispering Forest is in Airi, your country, so we thought..."
The negotiations were going very smoothly. Originally, all Elder Lloyd needed for the time being was a decree that local humans would not trespass in the Whispering Forest. The Prime Minister was a disciple of Cedros. At this time, there were special people to introduce him. These powers
Naturally, without saying anything, he immediately rushed to Airi with a swipe of his pen and an order. As for Ironfast's official announcement of recognition of the sovereignty of the elves in the Whispering Forest, it will undoubtedly need to be slowed down by Elder Lloyd and Luya in the future.
Negotiate slowly.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your help. The elves will always remember your friendship. I will always remember you." Luya stood up and nodded to the Prime Minister in front of her to thank her. Not only because of this simple help, but also because of the calmness of this young Prime Minister.
Hongqian felt very friendly, and she felt that she had learned a lot from her and benefited a lot in this short period of time.
The prime minister waved his hand: "It's okay, don't worry, sit down and chat." Her eyes wandered on Luya's face for a while. Then she smiled sweetly and said: "Although you are wearing makeup, I can still see that you are beautiful.
...What is your relationship with him? Lover..."
"No, I have nothing to do with him... How can I have a relationship with such a dirty person like him?" Luya's face showed undisguised disgust. "His mistress is an evil and lewd black elf, if
If it wasn’t for this mission, I wouldn’t want to be with him anyway…”
"Oh? What's going on?" The prime minister looked stunned. "Can you tell me what's going on? Be more detailed... How did you meet? How did he have a black elf... How can I
have no idea……"
"It's like this. The first time I met him was more than a year ago, when he broke into the Whispering Forest, the holy land of our elves, and stole the leaves of our sacred world tree... At that time..."
The Prime Minister's expression trembled for a moment, and then he listened attentively.
Outside the prime minister's house, in the alley across the street, Asa, who had been waiting impatiently, suddenly realized: "Oops. I forgot to tell her not to talk nonsense. She will come out soon after doing her business. She hasn't come out for so long.
,Definitely is……"
"You've only just thought of this now? Isn't it a natural outcome for you to ask an idiot with no scheming to help you meet an old lover you haven't seen for a long time?" The black elf huddled in the shadow of the alley and said disdainfully.
"Don't worry, that innocent little white rabbit won't talk nonsense. She should just reflect the actual situation..."
"Alas..." Asa shook his head. He felt that his head was at least several times bigger.
"What on earth are you talking about?" The temple knight who didn't bother to get close to the black elves and stood on the street outside turned around and asked. She was actually the most impatient person. During this period of time, there were no women wearing rain gear.
She cast a burning look at him, and even a duchess stopped the carriage for her and sent someone to ask her to get in.
The elf girl has been gone for a long time, and Xiaoyi is still immersed in the conversation just now.
In the boring and heavy paperwork and official duties, it has been a long time since she had such emotional fluctuations. There were nostalgia, reminiscence, emotion, as well as accidents and dumbfounding. The elf girl also left a deep impression on her. She was surprisingly innocent and seemed to be at the same time.
She had long wanted to talk to someone about these things, and told her everything she knew in detail. It wasn't until she finished telling everything that she asked, as if she suddenly remembered: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister,
That guy said he was an old acquaintance of you, are you friends? What kind of friends?"
"Ordinary friends." The Prime Minister smiled, and the slits in his eyes were full of ambiguity. "By the way, little girl, I want to remind you, don't speak so directly in the future. You might as well think more about yourself.
What are you saying, who are you listening to, and what will happen to others if they hear these words? The person you are talking about may not like it when you say this to them."
Luya looked at her in confusion, with an expression that seemed to understand.
"Okay, as for this thing..." The Prime Minister picked up the knife on the table and smiled. "I will put this thing here. Tell him that if he wants it, he can come and get it from me.
"Her eyebrows were raised, showing a hint of girlish pride and mischief. "Remember, he has to come and get it himself."
Will he come?".
The prime minister was playing with this long-lost weapon alone in the study. It seemed like a lifetime of memories slowly emerged in her mind with the touch of the knife. The expression on her face sometimes smiled, sometimes felt lost...
"Bishop Javi has arrived." A voice suddenly brought Xiaoyi back to reality, and she hurriedly put the knife into the desk drawer.
"Hello, Prime Minister." The cardinal's figure walked together with his sunny smile and voice. In fact, he comes here often these days. Half of them are talking about magic and the other half are here to talk.
She chats.
Xiaoyi does not reject him. To be honest, it is really difficult for such a seemingly perfect man to be rejected by anyone. To be honest, it is indeed difficult for such a seemingly perfect man to be rejected by anyone, especially in a heavy and boring life.
It has to be said that it is a very relaxing and good thing to have someone to chat with during official duties. And even from a political standpoint, Xiao Yi hopes that he can have more of this leisure time and not really put all his energy into it.
On how to take possession of a magic school.
But at least today, at this time, she still felt a little awkward.
Bishop Javi is still dressed in such heroic and upright warrior attire. A young man like him does not seem to wear a bishop's attire like a broad robe and long sleeves. He does not seem to be used to bringing any entourage, and he just wears it wherever he goes.
Such a person.
As soon as the cardinal sat down at the table, he seemed to notice that Xiao Yi's expression was not normal. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Is the prime minister in a bad mood today? Or do you still not welcome me?"
"No, it's nothing..." Xiaoyi smiled reluctantly.
Suddenly his expression changed slightly. He looked around with a strange look on his face, and then said: "Has your Majesty the Queen been here?"
"No, why do you ask that?" Xiao Yi was stunned.
Bishop Javi did not answer, frowned and closed his eyes. It seemed that after a brief meditation or feeling, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on the desk where the knife was placed.
It seemed that he could see something inside through the thick layer of wood.
"What's the matter, Mr. Bishop?" Xiao Yi tried his best to control his expression and asked.
Bishop Javi smiled, and the smile completely restored his previous brilliant look: "Master Prime Minister, can you take out the thing you put in the drawer and take a look?"
The Prime Minister was silent for a moment, and finally opened the drawer and took out the knife. She understood that the dark fluctuations on this weapon might not be felt by others, but it could not be hidden from these clergymen who were skilled in white magic. She took out the knife.
He handed the knife to Bishop Javi and said calmly: "This is something a friend of mine left here. It's actually nothing..."
But Bishop Javi didn't seem to listen to her. When he saw the knife, a strange expression appeared on his face. He was shocked, then doubtful, thinking, and emotional. All kinds of strange expressions appeared on his face.
The expressions on his face continued to overlap, and finally he burst into laughter.
Xiao Yi looked at the red cardinal in surprise. She really didn't understand what was so funny about this weapon that exuded a faint dark aura. What surprised her even more was that she actually saw something from the red cardinal.
Plant something that never existed before.
The cardinal was still laughing. His eyes fell on the knife in his hand, as if he saw the most incredible and ridiculous thing in the world. Although this majestic, majestic and handsome young bishop had laughed before, of course he had also
He was chatting and laughing, and he was full of witty words, but compared with his current laughter, Xiaoyi had a strange feeling. Everything before was not his true expression, and what he showed was not what he really felt deep in his heart.
Only now, this crazy smile that is completely devoid of stability and solemnity and completely inconsistent with his status and status seems to be the real thing in his heart.
While feeling a strange fear, there was also a strange feeling of déjà vu that arose in Xiaoyi's heart. This seemed to be a sight or person he had seen somewhere.
"Master Prime Minister, do you believe in fate?" Jia Wei's laughter suddenly stopped and he rushed towards Xiao Yi.
Although there is still a smile on the corner of the mouth, you can see that the light in the cardinal's eyes is unprecedentedly stern, but it is not directed at him, and there does not seem to be any hostility, so Xiaoyi just feels a sense of confusion and subtlety.
She did not shrink from fear. She replied tentatively: "Master Javi, has your faith in the Lord been shaken? Do you believe in fate?"
"No. The Lord only gives us the courage to choose and move forward. He does not tell us whether we have a destiny. Even whether we have a destiny depends on whether we have the courage to face it." Bishop Javi's voice became much louder.
Revealing an almost manic excitement. "I didn't believe it originally, but today, here, I believe it."
"I thought that what happened was gone and would never come back, but today, I found that it seemed to be back to where it started. I thank the Lord for giving me this opportunity. I will face the same opponent again.
It’s almost the same situation. I will also fight for what I have lost.” The cardinal’s words seemed to be talking to himself. Finally, he smiled at the puzzled Xiao Yi and slowly spoke every word.
Said: "Don't worry, I will never lose this time."
Ignoring Xiao Yi's confusion and doubts, Bishop Jia Wei turned around and left the Prime Minister's Office after saying these strange words. His footsteps were like a general rushing to a battle that must be won, urgent and powerful.
.
In the magic academy, in Bishop Javi's room, the cardinal finished writing a letter at a very fast speed, and then put the letter into a strange little scroll.
There is a blue teleportation light around the scroll. This is actually an extremely exquisitely crafted and extremely rare magic scroll that can teleport small items back to a designated location. This rare magic item is almost not available even to Celeste.
of.
After the letter disappeared into the air, Bishop Jarvie called a priest and sent a message: "Go and ask Lord Rodhart to come here. Remember, ask him to come alone."
