Dust of History: Blood-sucking tenderness (Part 2)

The resplendent and majestic Prime Minister's Mansion is still located there, with slightly less traces of wind, frost and dust than before. This didn't make its imposing manner a little less, but more desolate and calm.

It is still the residence of the Duke of Mrak, but this Duke of Mrak is no longer the one who looks very kind but can stab you twice at any time in the previous impression, but is famous for being elegant and capable in negotiating. Her daughter is known as the youngest and most promising pillar of the country in the mainland. Standing across the street, Asa looked at this long-lost building through the endless stream of people on the street, unconsciously completely engrossed.

In his consciously or unintentionally pursuing a stable and free life, almost all the magnificence in this life came from this huge and magnificent mansion, which contained almost all the dark and heavy colors in his life. His love, involvement in the world, struggle, giving up, persistence, pain, sadness...all are related to this place. The people and things that used to be here are all intertwined and flashed in his mind like the illusionist's magic, and the original is deep in his mind. The things in the depths are constantly being torn apart, and all kinds of foam appear. He remembered every time he entered and exited here, each time he carried a completely different mood, but almost every time was enough for him to remember his life.

"What are you doing? Why are you in a daze? If you want to go, hurry up. Prime Minister Mrak is indeed here now, and she handles official duties here after the emperor's parade." Talis behind her pushed Asa Bundle.

In order not to attract attention, the Knights of the Temple had to follow Asa's advice to put away their knight costumes and disguise themselves. She **** her blond hair and was dressed like a male samurai. She was already rather feminine and charming, but she looked so heroic and handsome. In addition, her height was quite tall for men. . Even Asa took a sudden look and found it hard to tell that she was a woman. Now they are at least ordinary travelers of two men and two women.

Since it was discovered that the Red Bishop was intimidating the queen and turned the stumbling block of the temple knight into a powerful helper, he could not do it for the rest of the time. First of all, the matter of Luya and the elves must be resolved first, otherwise, once the cardinal and the queen join hands to turn the king's capital upside down, there may never be a chance. That's why Asa quickly led Luya here, planning to take her to meet the prime minister to discuss the migration of the elves to Airi.

But here, facing the duke's mansion. Only then did Asa realize that he didn't seem to know what mood and attitude to use to go in and face that person. He frowned and sighed, wrapped the knife that Talis returned to him two days ago and handed it to Luya, saying: "I won't go in. You can go by 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 the matter of Ai Li and Whispering Forest, you You should know what to say to her."

"But I, I really don't know what to do..." Luya hesitated, she really didn't have enough time to deal with people, and now she has to negotiate with the prime minister of a country to complete a major task, which seems to be a bit difficult .

Asa patted her shoulder very easily. Said: "Don't worry, the request of your elves is actually not too much, she will definitely agree."

Under Asa's comfort and urging, Luya walked to the prime minister's mansion alone with her things in embarrassment. After delivering Asa's knife to the guards and taking her in, someone came and led her in.

"You are so strange. It seems that you said you were going to take her in before. Why didn't you go here?" Talis looked at Asa strangely. "I see that you just stared at the other side in a daze. Are you worried that some experts in the prime minister's mansion will be able to see your true face?"

Asa smiled and did not answer, but the black elf next to him sneered and said, "Do you think he was worried about the master just now when he looked at the opposite side? Why is the judgment of the temple knights so good?"

Talis glared at her, but then asked again: "Then what is he worried about? It doesn't seem like..."

"Didn't you see that the look in his eyes just now is as gentle as that of a little virgin looking at the residence of his first love? Poor virgins bound by iron underwear like moral beliefs may indeed not be able to feel this kind of emotion...he used to be here King Ainfast stayed there for a while. The Prime Minister was a young girl in her prime back then. He actually let the little elf go in with his own weapon. Is it a token? I can't guess from these What's going on? He just doesn't know how to face that little lover who is different from before."

"Really?" The female knight looked up and down Asa with wide eyes, as if seeing a monster like him for the first time. "He... he kills people like this without blinking an eye... an evil person who can use necromantic magic... also has feelings? I don't believe it..."

"Anyone who can kill must be a killing machine made of iron. People who don't agree with the teachings of your God of Light are puppets without feelings... It seems that the minds of the temple knights are the same. Everyone in your eyes It's not a person, it's a symbol defined by the scriptures. Hmph, I still remember Christine..." The black elf also fell into a trance for a while, shook his head and didn't speak.

Tarizi seemed to want to retort, but she seemed to think of something, so she didn't open her mouth thoughtfully.

Asa also didn't speak, he was looking at Jessica with very surprised eyes. Naturally, he didn't tell her about his stay in the capital. The point is that he would never have thought that this black elf, who seems to have more physical relationship with him than his spiritual connection, could clearly infer these things just from his own eyes. .

The black elf gave Asa a blank look. Said: "What's the matter? Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes? Do you think I'm just a carnal symbol in your eyes?"

"Of course not..." Asa hurriedly shook her head. "It's just... I wonder why you say this..."

"Then just think I'm a little jealous." Jessica looked at the Duke's Palace in the distance and replied lightly.

Asa looked Jessica up and down again as if meeting Jessica for the first time. Her current loose nomadic attire completely covers up her wild and seductive figure, and only a small part of her face is exposed. For some reason, Asa feels that her background at this time seems to be far more important than when she was a child. Much more charming.

In the prime minister's mansion. Led by the guards, Luya finally came to the Prime Minister's study. I met the Prime Minister of Einfast, Mrak Yi, the Duke of Mrak who is famous for his youth and ability.

Although I have heard about the young and capable prime minister, Luya never thought that she would be such a young, beautiful, dignified and elegant woman, but the majesty and spirit of being the prime minister of a country are not because of Her beauty and a little less. Even myself, who has never had a good impression of human beings, had to feel a sense of trust after seeing her.

The Prime Minister's expression now seems to be suppressing some impatience and other indistinguishable 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, and not to approach without orders.

After only the two of them were left in the huge study room, the prime minister took a deep breath, looked at Luya in a voice as calm as possible and said, "Did he tell you to come and find 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 in front of the desk, her eyes and fingertips hovering over the knife on the desk. The blade is black and rough, but her fingers and eyes are delicate and soft, with sharp contrast.

"No, he's outside." Luya replied.

"It's just outside? Why didn't he come in?" The Prime Minister's expression completely recovered the surprise of her girlhood at this moment. She was stunned, but it was only for a moment, and in the next moment she buried these feelings deep in her expression again, just sighed and said lightly: "Why is he still like this, sorry... I must have asked you to come to me It's all because it's a business, right? If you have anything to say, just say it."

Lu Ya was taken aback, she really did not expect that it would be as smooth as Asa said. After thinking about what Elder Lloyd said, he said: "It's like this...Master Mrak, our elves want to relocate to the Forest of Whispers, and the Forest of Whispers is in Airi in your country, so we want to... "

The negotiation went smoothly. Originally, what Elder Lloyd needed for the time being was just a decree that local humans should not indiscriminately set foot in the Whispering Forest, and the Prime Minister is a disciple of Cedros. At this time, there is even a special person to recommend , these powers are naturally nothing to worry about, and they will go to Airi immediately with a swipe of a pen and an order. As for Ainfast's official announcement of the acknowledgment of the sovereignty of the Whispering Forest elves, it will undoubtedly need to be negotiated slowly by Elder Lloyd and Luya in the future.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your help. The elves will always remember your friendship. I will always remember you too." Luya stood up and nodded her thanks to the Prime Minister in front of her. Not only because of this simple help, but also the calmness and kindness of this young prime minister, which made her feel that she seemed to have learned a lot from her in this short period of time and benefited a lot.

The prime minister waved his hand: "It's okay, don't worry, let's sit down and talk." Her eyes flicked on Luya's face for a while. Then she smiled and said: "Although you put on 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 anything to do with a dirty person like him?" Luya showed an undisguised disgust on her face. "His mistress is an evil and lustful black elf. If it wasn't for this mission, I wouldn't want to go with him no matter what..."

"Oh? What's going on here?" The Prime Minister was astonished. "Can you tell me what's going on? In detail...how did you know each other. How did he have a black elf...I don't know..."

"It's like this, the first time I met him was more than a year ago, when he broke into our elves' sacred place, the Whispering Forest, and stole our sacred object, the leaf of the world tree... At that time... "

The Prime Minister's expression trembled, and then he listened intently.

Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, in the alley across the street, Asa, who had been waiting impatiently, suddenly woke up: "Oops. I forgot to tell her not to talk nonsense, and she will come out soon after finishing her business. It's been so long If you haven't come out yet, it must be..."

"You didn't even think of this until now? Isn't it a natural result to ask a completely thoughtless idiot 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 say. "Don't worry, that simple little white rabbit won't talk nonsense, she should just reflect the actual situation..."

"Alas..." Asa shook his head, he only felt that his head was at least several times bigger.

"What the **** are you talking about?" The temple knight standing on the outermost street, who disdained to approach the black elf, turned around and asked. She was actually the most impatient person. During this period of time, some women in rain gear had already cast fiery glances at him, and even a duchess stopped the carriage for her and sent someone over to invite her into the carriage.

The elf girl has been away 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 I have such emotional fluctuations. The elf girl left a deep impression on her, as she was surprisingly innocent. It also seemed that she wanted to tell someone about these things, and told all the things she knew in detail. It wasn't until I finished talking that I suddenly remembered and asked: "Master Prime Minister, that guy said he was an old acquaintance with you. Are you friends? What kind of friends?"

"Ordinary friends." The prime minister smiled, and the slits in his eyes were full of ambiguity. "That's right, little girl. What I want to remind you is, don't speak so directly in the future. You might as well think about what you are saying, who you are listening to, and what will happen to others after hearing these words? What you said yourself Some people might not like you talking about him like that.”

Luya looked at her in confusion, showing a half-understanding expression.

"Okay, as for this thing..." Mr. Prime Minister picked up the knife on the table and smiled. "I put this thing here. Tell him, if he wants it, he can come to me to get it." She raised her eyebrows, showing a little girlish pride and mischievousness. "Remember. It's for him to come and get it himself."

Will he come? "

Master Prime Minister was playing with this long-lost weapon alone in the study, as if it was a lifetime of memories slowly emerging in his mind with the touch of the knife. The expression on her face also sometimes smiles, sometimes feeling lost...

"Master Jiawei is here." A voice brought Xiaoyi back to reality, and she hurriedly put the knife into the desk drawer.

"Hello, Prime Minister." The figure of the cardinal walked with his sunny smile and voice. In fact, he comes here quite often these days. Half of them were talking about magic, and the other half were coming to chat with her.

Xiao Yi does not reject him. Let's be honest. It is indeed difficult for such a seemingly perfect man to be rejected by anyone. Let's be honest. Such a seemingly perfect man is really hard to be rejected by anyone, especially in the heavy and boring official business, someone can chat for a while, and it has to be said that it is a very relaxing and good thing. And even from a political standpoint, Xiaoyi hoped that he would be more relaxed like this, instead of really focusing all his energy on how to get the Academy of Magic into his hands.

But at least today. At this moment, she still felt a little awkward.

Bishop Javi was still dressed in the heroic and straight warrior attire, and it seemed that a young man like him was not as big as the bishop's attire with wide robes and sleeves. He didn't seem to be used to bringing any followers, no matter where he went, he was just like this.

As soon as the cardinal sat down at the table, he seemed to notice that Xiaoyi's face was not normal, and asked with a frown, "What's the matter? Is the prime minister in a bad mood today? I still don't welcome me?"

"No, it's nothing..." Xiaoyi forced a smile.

Suddenly his face changed slightly. He looked around with a strange look on his face, and then: "Has the Queen been here?"

"No, why do you ask that?" Xiao Yi was taken aback.

Bishop Jiawei didn't answer, but frowned and closed his eyes. It seemed that after a short period of contemplation or feeling, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on the desk, where the drawer of the knife was placed, as if he could see the contents through the thick layer of wood.

"What's the matter, my lord bishop?" Xiaoyi asked while restraining her expression as much as possible.

Bishop Jiawei smiled, and this smile completely restored his previous bright look: "Master Prime Minister, can you take out that thing you put in the drawer?"

The Prime Minister was silent for a while, 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 they couldn't be hidden from these priests who were proficient in white magic. She handed the knife to Bishop Jiawei, and said lightly: "This is something that a friend of mine left here. It's actually nothing..."

But Bishop Jia Wei didn't seem to listen to her. When he saw the knife, a strange expression appeared on his face. He was shocked, followed by doubts, thoughts, emotions, all kinds of strange things. The expression was superimposed on his face, and finally he laughed.

Xiaoyi looked at the cardinal in surprise. She really didn't understand what was so funny about this weapon exuding a faint dark aura. Saw something that hadn't been there before.

The cardinal was still laughing, and his eyes fell on the hand, as if seeing the world is the most incredible and ridiculous thing. Although this majestic, mighty and handsome young bishop has laughed before, and of course he has talked and laughed like pearls, but compared with the current laugh, Xiaoyi has a strange feeling that everything before is not His own true expression, what he showed was not what was really deep within himself. Only now, this somewhat crazy smile, completely devoid of poise and dignity, completely incompatible with his status and status, Fengshen Junlang, seems to be the real thing in his heart.

While feeling a strange fear, there is also a strange feeling of deja vu in Xiao Yi's heart. This seems to be a scene I have seen somewhere, or a person.

"Prime Minister, do you believe in fate?" Jia Wei's laughter stopped suddenly, and he rushed towards Xiao Yi.

Although there is still a smile on the corner of his mouth, one can see that the light in the cardinal's eyes is unprecedentedly fierce, but it is not aimed at himself, and there does not seem to be any hostility, so Xiaoyi just feels a kind of discomfort. Relief and subtle fear, without flinching. She tentatively replied: "Lord Jiawei, 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, not to tell us whether we have destiny or not. Even whether we have destiny or not depends on whether we have the courage to face it." Bishop Jiawei's voice was loud A lot, showing a kind of almost manic excitement~IndoMTL.com~ I didn't believe it at first, but today, here, I believe it. "

"I thought what happened is gone. It will never come back, but today, I find that it seems to be back to the original point. I thank the Lord for giving me this opportunity, and I will face the same My opponent is almost in the same situation, and I will also regain what I have lost." The cardinal's words seemed to be talking to himself, and finally he smiled at the puzzled Xiaoyi, and stopped every word Slowly said: "Don't worry, this time, I will never lose."

Ignoring Xiaoyi's incomprehension and doubts, Bishop Jia Wei turned around and left the Prime Minister's Mansion after saying these strange words. His steps were quick and vigorous, like a general rushing to a battle that must be won.

In the room of Bishop Javi at the Academy of Magic, the cardinal finished writing a letter at a fast speed, and then put the letter into a strange little scroll.

There is a blue teleportation light around the scroll, which is actually an extremely delicate and extremely rare magic scroll that teleports small items back to the designated location. Celeste hardly ever had such a rare magic item.

After the letter disappeared into the air, Bishop Jiawei called a priest and sent a message: "Go and ask Lord Rod Hart to come here. Remember, ask him to come alone."
