Dust of History: Royal capital (below)
On a hilltop outside the royal capital, Asa looked down at the extremely familiar continuous buildings not far below, and he was a little dazed. It was too complicated, too strong, and he couldn't even give himself a fixed definition of the feeling of strong flipping.
"Alright, let's break up here." Yabin's voice pulled him back. "We will go south from here. Please take care of yourself, we will meet later."
Sister Ai Yimei bowed to Asa and said, "Thank you Brother Asa. It is all because of your help that I can recover this time, and it is all thanks to you that we can survive safely. Your eldest brother Well, I will always remember..." She paused, hesitated, and said with a blushing face. "...If you are free in the future, please come to the Tower of Fangs."
"Okay, if you are free. I will be free in about fifty days..." Asa nodded to the two siblings with a wry smile. In fact, he doesn't know if it's true that everything will be fine in fifty days, and this final task may not be easier than the previous one.
On the day when he returned to Oufuyi, Cedros took out the mental magic left in his brain and healed his younger sister Aimee with it. But unlike what Sedros expected, Yabin and Aiyimei insisted not to join Oufu for this. Although they also knew the truth, they were resolutely unwilling to help the orcs fight Celeste, and they only reluctantly supported the ambush of the temple knights. Their reason for rejecting Sedros is very simple, and there is no room for turning around: even if they die at the hands of a cardinal, their grandfather will never allow them to fight with the believers. So after their short stay in Oufu. Just drop by and leave with Asa, and turn south to the Tower of Fangs here. It is the last peaceful place on the mainland that is temporarily far away from war and turmoil.
The two siblings didn't know that when they refused Sedros' request, they had already gone shopping before the gate of hell. Sedros will not let two people who have no intention of helping him and know too much leave Euph. But in the end, it was Asa who persuaded them secretly, saying that maybe they would have a chance to help in the future, so the two brothers and sisters could leave smoothly.
The two brothers and sisters still offered to help Asa's mission in the capital this time, but Asa refused. will drag. So he also rejected Hilton's request to go with him. Send him to Tatalia.
"I can assure you that this little girl actually likes you. It's a pity that you had the opportunity to sleep with her. Pure virgin, that's a rare commodity, and I bet she would, if you don't In such a stupid way." Seeing the background of the two siblings leaving, Jessica suddenly said. Hearing this, Asa's vest broke out in cold sweat.
"Even your thoughts and every word reveal a rotten and evil atmosphere. This kind of darkness and corruption comes from the depths of your soul, and it is really hopeless." Luya's face was full of disgust. In order not to attract too much attention, she wore a big hat that hid the elf's pointed ears and silver hair, and she also painted some potion on her face that turned her complexion yellow. She was dressed in an ordinary traveler's attire, but even such an ordinary attire could hardly conceal her somewhat overly delicate beauty.
Jessica laughed sharply: "Oh, don't be so deliberate in making sentences, you are covering up your own inner thoughts. Childish little white rabbit with sharp ears. Don't talk to him every time *You seem so sensitive about this kind of artistic issue, it is just exposing yourself to be overly suppressed.”
Asa only felt a headache, in fact, this was the case all the way. The two elves disliked each other extremely, and attacking each other with their mouths was already a very gentle way. There were at least three or four times along the way that the two of them really moved their hands.
"It seems that Mafa was too kind when he drove you into the darkness and let you live underground. You should go live with the rats and bedbugs in the gutter. Discuss your corrupt and evil... ..." Luya stared at Jessica, her face turned red before she said "... evil art."
The black elf just giggled and said, "Unfortunately, I know that your Mafa has never said that ** is evil. Without that kind of wonderful behavior, where did you come from? Little boy. You are also the crystallization of that kind of behavior that you call evil. Don't say that your mother gave birth to you alone. Oh, yes, I heard that you came out of that strange tree in the Whispering Forest Yes, then you may not even know who your parents are, how pitiful."
"The friendship between our noble elves is indistinguishable from each other, we must be a complete whole. How can such a dirty and low-level creature like you understand our noble culture that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years."
"I said, can the two of you give me a quiet time for a day or two?" Asa only felt his head hurt even more. He really didn't expect the consequences of these two people walking together. But it seems that there is no other way. This time the elves migrated back to the Forest of Whispers. Lloyd thought that he must first form a consensus and a smart relationship with Ainfast, so he sent Luya to follow Asa to Ainfast King's capital. Ask Asa to help her arrange negotiations with Roland's leader, Prime Minister Mrak. Elder Lloyd and other elves are busy preparing for the great migration.
It can be seen that Elder Lloyd deliberately trained Lua to be the leader of the elves, so she came to the capital alone to negotiate and contact the upper class of human society. Undoubtedly, it is the most difficult and most need to exercise learning ability.
Actually, Asa originally wanted to go back to the capital alone to solve these matters, but because of Elder Lloyd's request, he had to take Luya with him, so he hesitated for a while, and did not refuse Jessica who came with him. If it is to lurk, investigate and assassinate in the capital, the black elves can still play a considerable role. Although he also knew that there must be friction between the two, but it shouldn't be a big problem. It wasn't until this time that he realized that he was wrong.
Women are always irrational animals...the only thing more troublesome than one noisy woman is having two such women...
Asa suddenly remembered these words he heard in the tavern when he was a child. Originally, he thought that these things should have nothing to do with him, but now he realizes that they are really incisive.
"Noble culture? Self-righteous little guy, don't you know that you have suppressed yourself for too long?" Jessica spat in disdain, and said loudly as if she was telling someone a great secret: "Do you want me to tell you the truth about you constantly finding fault with me along the way? You actually like this man very much, and in your heart, you also hope that he can gallop on your body, squeeze your delicate limbs, entangle, Impact...but because of your self-righteous repression. You bury these impulses in your heart. And my direct and frank words keep sending these contents into your little head, constantly stimulating your repressed * *, it's like being touched by his gentle and strong fingers on the top of your most sensitive little chest..."
"Shut up." Asa and Luya shouted at the same time, but Luya's voice was much higher.
"How is it? Do you feel the wonderful feeling of being stabbed in the vitals?" Jessica ignored Asa, pointing at Luya who couldn't even conceal the flushed face with the disguise potion, and laughed haha The voice was sharp and sharp: "I got it right."
"I will judge you in the name of Mafa, and send your filthy soul and mouth to hell." Luya's face was completely distorted by anger and shyness, and she took out her rapier and recited cast a spell.
"I'm giving you this advice for the third time, don't show your weapons to the black elves." Jessica also drew out the pair of poisonous daggers without showing any weakness, licked her tongue and sneered: "I might as well tell you. Dismembering surface elves is one of the highest arts popular in my hometown..."
"Pay for your sins with death." Luya rushed towards Jessica.
Just as Jessica was about to move, she almost stumbled. Only then did she realize that the weeds under her feet had unknowingly become as thick as a thin rope, pulling her feet silently like a snake. got tangled up.
Luya's movements are definitely not fast or sharp, but there is absolutely no problem in stabbing this immobile target who has lost its center of gravity. A cold light flashed in Jessica's eyes, and she threw the two blue daggers at Luya.
Compared with the Black Elf, Luya's combat experience is almost the difference between a frog and a poisonous snake. Although she used magic to take the lead, she didn't have the slightest room to dodge the flying dagger. She could only watch helplessly. Then he slammed into the two deadly poison weapons. Even the natural magic of elves is very effective in healing and detoxification. But being stabbed by these two short swords, she absolutely has no chance to use magic.
But the two blue short swords did not stab Luya, and the sword in her hand also did not fall on the black elf, because Asa was there.
Asa took Luya's hand with one hand. The other hand flicked two short swords. He had already prepared, in fact, this was the third time he had blocked a shot in these days.
In terms of pure physical strength or skill, this is not too difficult. In the eyes of Asa, the movements of the two of them are not much different from children fighting each other, and they can be stopped without much effort. But he felt very tired, really tired, and sometimes he even felt that he would rather go to Mount Sandefis and fight two Beamons than travel with these two women. Fighting Beamon only requires hard work, fighting, fighting, fighting spirit, and murderous aura, but with these two women, no matter how high the fighting spirit is or how strong the murderous aura is, they are completely powerless.
"Let me tell you, either you drive this woman away. Or I will go to the royal capital alone. In short, I can't bear to be with her." Luya stared at Asa, not only was there anger in her eyes, And tears. "I can't stand you who is in cahoots with her."
"Listen to me..." Asa had a struggling expression on his face. In fact, he didn't know what to say, he could hear his brain groaning under overload several times. It is ten times more difficult for him to think about the rhetoric of coaxing women than to plan **** two Beamons, assassinate Bishop Eschael, and so on. If mind magic can increase the flexibility of the mind, he is willing to bear Eschael's mental shock that can make people crazy.
Maybe it is the potential that bursts out at the moment of crisis, and suddenly a flash of light flashes in my mind. Asa immediately said: "You can't be so willful, for the mission entrusted to you by Elder Lloyd, for the sake of the great plan of the elves. You should know that you can't complete these things by yourself. Jessica is actually very concerned about the development of the entire mission. It is also essential, do you want to abandon the fate of the entire elf clan just for some boring feelings?"
These words made Luya startled, and then immediately had nothing to say. Asa secretly heaved a sigh of relief, for Luya, the sense of responsibility is definitely more important than anything else. But the distorted face and red eyes also showed that this was not really a safe solution. Asa added softly: "Don't worry, I promise that this kind of quarrel will not happen again in the future. Jessica will stop talking nonsense."
"I'm not sure..." the black elf said as he broke free from the rope that was holding her.
"Just do me a favor, okay?" Asa glared at her, but her tone was full of helplessness.
"Okay, I'll help you. But you have to remember to owe me a favor." Jessica raised her eyebrows, as proud as if she had won a battle.
"Okay." Asa sighed weakly, took Luya's hand, turned and walked towards the capital. Luya struggled, but couldn't break free.
The Academy of Magic, in the room of the new cardinal Javi.
Even though the cardinal may not be welcome in his heart, he still has to do what he should. The room arranged by the Academy of Magic for the cardinal is still very luxurious and rich, and the furnishings inside are no worse than anywhere else.
But now in this room. The person sitting on the chair prepared for the Bishop behind the desk was not Bishop Javi, but an old pastor.
This old pastor is dressed in a normal way, and his appearance is also very normal, the kind that can be seen everywhere in the magic academy. But he sat on the chair that only the bishop could sit on, and he was very carefree, as casual as if this was the small bench where he lived. But now the handsome and handsome cardinal stood respectfully by the side, poured a glass of water for the old pastor with a teapot in his hand, brought it to him and said, "Sir, please drink some water."
"Drinking water? I'm not a fish. What are you drinking so much water for? Don't you even have tea?" The old pastor rolled his eyes.
"I am afraid that my husband is worried that the taste of tea will cover up the poison, so I use clear water that is easy to identify. Bishop Jiawei smiled, still sunny and atmospheric.
"Don't worry. One. I really believe in your guts, you don't dare; two, even if you dare, you probably won't be able to deal with the poison that I can hide from me; three, even if you can get it. I drink There will be enough time to turn you into a pile of rotten meat after you take down." The old pastor waved to the cardinal impatiently. "The tea should be stronger, add less brown sugar."
"Yes." Bishop Jiawei smiled wryly and took out the tea from the desk drawer, made a pot of tea himself and poured it for the old pastor.
The old pastor took a sip, shook his head, smacked his lips and frowned, "It's terrible. You don't even have one-tenth of your master's skill in making tea."
"I'm sorry, the teacher never taught me this..." Bishop Jiawei smiled wryly and shook his head.
"That's right. She actually taught you all the true meditation and magic skills in the local area. How can I teach you these things when I have time." Then I asked: "However, I really didn't expect that she would still accept disciples... Why did she accept you as an apprentice? It couldn't be just because you were a badass, right? There were so many badass chasing her back then, you should have gotten bored of watching her long ago." Ah..."
Bishop Jiawei smiled wryly and shook his head. In the eyes of others, he was always full of wisdom, might, and self-confidence. He seemed to be the embodiment of perfection. He seemed to have no other expression in front of this old man except for a wry smile.
The old pastor said lightly: "I heard that he seems to be locked up by the guys in the guild. Maybe he is looking for you, a disciple, running outside, isn't it?"
Bishop Jia Wei did not answer directly, but said: "This time I came here, and the teacher also specially asked me to greet the husband. So after I made arrangements in the past two days, I immediately invited the husband to come."
"Well, I suddenly remembered the behavior of the bandits and thieves on the mountain. It means that I don't want to hinder you. This is why you dare to go here alone." The old pastor nodded. "For her sake, I naturally won't embarrass you. The master-student relationship between you and her must be clear to other people in the guild."
"Yes, sir, you know everything well." The cardinal nodded.
"On the one hand, I have to do things for your master, on the other hand, I have the affairs of the guild, and on the other hand, I am a young and promising cardinal. Young people nowadays are really busy. They are much more diligent than when I was young. Now. What do you want to do this time?"
Bishop Jiawei hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Please forgive me for these questions... These matters are related to Dejagu's plan..."
"Great plan? Huh, now Dejagu has become smoky. If I'm still inside, I will drive out all the guys who are interested in profit." Old pastor, did you suddenly think of something? Sighed. "Forget it, I'm not worried about these. After all, I'm no longer from Di Yagu."
"At that time, your position in Diya Valley will never be replaced by others."
The old pastor looked at Bishop Jiawei and sneered slightly, and said: "The old guys in the guild didn't have the guts to come here, but they let you come alone. ?They are still afraid that I will violate the oath I made under the famous words of the dark star, so it can be seen that these guys have some ghosts in their hearts...Is it?
Bishop Javi just bowed his head respectfully and stopped talking.
"Okay, that's all for now." The old pastor stood up and patted his butt. "Since I said that it has something to do with Di Yagu's absence, and we don't offend each other, and you are Vidnina's disciple, in the end it depends on your respectful cup of tea, as long as it doesn't violate my bottom line , I don’t care what you do here.”
Bishop Javi asked cautiously: "Do you care about the turmoil in Ainfast? For example, the royal family and..."
The old pastor shook his head impatiently: "Ronis will worry about this, but in my opinion, it's none of my business."
Bishop Jia Wei smiled, heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked: "I don't know what your bottom line is..."
The old pastor was stunned, thought for a while, and shook his head: "Is this... I don't know for the time being, but you will know when you meet it."
As if he hadn't expected such an answer at all, Bishop Jiawei smiled wryly again, but this wry smile was the most bitter, so bitter that it could hardly be regarded as a smile.
The kings are built with the palace as the center, facing outward layer by layer. The outermost and largest layer is an ordinary civilian area. Everything here is no different from the futures city.
Asa led Luya and Jessica to a tavern here. Before finding out the situation, he had to find a place to hide. The tavern and hotel here he knew was a good place to hide. This kind of tavern in the civilian area is naturally mixed ~IndoMTL.com~ In addition, the soldiers of the Royal Guards often drink here, so it is very convenient to inquire about the news.
But just as the three of them walked to the door of the tavern, a figure was thrown out from inside suddenly, along with wine bottles, cups and plates, and other things. Someone is fighting.
Fights in this kind of place were very common, but Asa was surprised when he saw the person who was thrown out, because he was actually the leader of a military uniform. It's not that there are people in the Imperial Guards in Wangja, but those people shouldn't fight in this kind of tavern anyway.
The leader of the Imperial Guard got up grumbling, and spit out a mouthful of **** saliva, which contained two teeth. He looked into the tavern angrily, and seemed to want to rush in again, but he hesitated and turned around and ran away.
Asa hesitated at the door, but still followed the two elves. Naturally, he still wears the mask given by Sandro, and the disguises of Luya and Jessica won't be very eye-catching, as long as they don't take the initiative to attract people's attention.
But he just took a few steps into the tavern, and after seeing the battle inside, he turned around and left. But it was already too late, the female knight saw the three of them, her eyes lit up, and she shouted, "Stop."
