Chapter 331: A Roasted Pork Leg Chen Daolin sighed.
It's not that easy Shiloh didn't send someone to seal his magic, also because he was too confident and thought that he was holding on to his weakness by capturing Barossa and the others.
But the place where Barossa and others are under house arrest is not so easy to save people.
Chen Daolin hid behind a bush and looked at it from a distance, and when he saw a few guards with axes and guns standing at the gate of the small courtyard in the distance, and a team of patrol horses that had just passed through here on horseback, his heart was slightly happy.
But then he saw the red mage robe floating on the terrace on the second floor, and he knew that he was going to have a headache.
This Shiloh actually sent a court mage to guard Barossa and them Chen Daolin is very self-aware, although he sees himself as a "genius magician" who creates miracles, the youngest magic professor in the magic academy, and the rarest magic genius in a hundred years, but he knows very well that if he fights for actual combat ability, he will at most just cross the intermediate threshold, and in terms of experience in the actual use of magic, he is just a rookie at all.
At the beginning, he protected Dean Carmen and escaped, and he was able to kill a few magicians along the way, purely relying on the special conditions of the right time and place, and it was not a true portrayal of the strength of the two sides.
If you want to forcibly rush in to save people, as long as a court mage is enough to drag yourself, it can be expected that there will be countless palace guards who will come to catch turtles in the urn later, so it's better to leave it to others to do it, Brother Ke has no interest in being an old turtle.
Silently glancing at the small courtyard again, Chen Daolin pinched a few bags of things in his arms, and silently re-entered the bushes.
If you can't attack it, then your only chance is to see if it's possible to lure away these guards, especially the court mages sitting here How can you lure away the court mage?
Chen Daolin hid in the bushes, looked back into the deep palace complex, and then his eyes fell on the towering magic tower.
In the afternoon sun, the tower stood in the middle of the palace.
As if I had heard, the magicians in this court had a strict iron rule Fighting snakes and hitting seven inches, Chen Daolin has always been very clear about this truth, when he was a child and fought with other classmates, Chen Daolin knew the high-end skill of flirting with his feet.
Then, the magic tower erected there is such a huge "egg", it is simply very suitable The new emperor traveled, and two teams of heavily armed royal guards opened the way, and after the royal carriage, they followed two red-clothed mages on horseback.
Shiloh sat in the carriage, unable to tell what kind of mood he was feeling.
If it had been before, he would never have been so excited about such a woman's letter.
But after experiencing the night of the coup d'état, forcing his brother to death with his own hands, and experiencing the death of Luo Puppy and Kaman in the main hall that day, Shiloh only felt that his heart was suddenly completely emptied Even if there is ambition, full of ambition, even if there is still those dignity, those pride, those self-confidence.
But in the dead of night, he always felt that there was a poisonous snake desperately biting his heart The hollow heart is completely empty, and it seems that even those ambitions to conquer the world cannot be filled.
The brother finally died, and the moment he put on the crown, Shiloh knew that he had completely lost the so-called "family affection", and when Luo Xiaogou and Kaman, two friends who were once young, shouted "human hearts" and died in front of him, Shiloh knew that he might not have a chance to have "friendship" in his life.
That's why he was so anxious the night before yesterday that he almost lost his temper and sent someone to bring Rodelle into the palace. love Perhaps.
But only Shiloh himself knows in his heart, he just feels that his heart is uncomfortable and there is no family affection, no friendship, then, maybe the girl he once liked can bring him a little warmth A little bit of warmth that belongs to a person's surname Shiloh didn't study psychology, so he didn't know that his current state was the instinctive loneliness and loneliness that arise when all the emotions around him have passed.
It's not so much that he loves Rodelle, it's that he needs Rodelle.
At this moment, Shiloh needs an emotion to fill the "emptiness" in his heart, this emotion can be friendship, family affection, and of course, if it is love.
Listening to the rolling wheels, Shiloh suddenly wanted to smile bitterly.
My mentality at the moment is like an ignorant teenager who is young and ignorant and goes to meet his sweetheart for the first time, young and nervous The content of Lordelle's letter was simple: she wanted to talk to herself.
What to talk about, of course, Shiloh would not whimsically think that in less than two days, this girl would change her mind Shiloh speculated that perhaps it was her desire to beg her father to spare her family, and after the burden of the entire family, the girl, the proud girl, finally tried to give in to herself What Shiloh really wanted was not this, he knew very well that he wanted this girl to be sincere to himself.
However, if you can't get the sincerity, it's better to retreat and get her submission than nothing What no one knows is that what Shiloh really desires in his heart today may just be a warm embrace.
Even if this embrace is not sincere, even if this embrace is only due to the factor of submission.
But the person in this arms must only be recognized in his heart: Lodel meets this standard.
The place where Lordelle asked to meet himself was not the mansion of the Liszt family, but a small courtyard.
This small courtyard is in the south of the city, not close to the palace.
But this place, Shiloh is no stranger.
When he was very young, he used to go to that place, it was a magical little courtyard, and in that small courtyard there was a towering ancient tree, and in autumn, a small stove would be set up under the tree, and there would be an old man with white hair and white clothes like snow, wrapped in a thick blanket, sitting in a chair under the tree, and boiling a good pot of tea with gentle movements.
The old man was once recognized as the wisest man, the most learned, the most learned of the wise.
He's many, many great.
When I was a child, I once went there to visit the wise old man at the arrangement of the royal family, and studied with the old man there for a few months.
Tulips, Rollin, several families of the Liszt Empire, and the old man had some close relations, including the royal family.
The children of the family, when they were young, would be sent to study with the old man for a period of time.
After a few years, he is already a "foodie prince", but no matter where he goes, every time he returns, he will go to that small courtyard and dedicate it to the wise old man with the food he has scavenged from all over the world.
In my memory, every time the old man saw himself, his eyes would reveal a faint melancholy and helplessness.
That kind of wise look that Shiloh had never seen in the eyes of a second person.
It was as if when the old man looked at himself, he was not looking at a "prodigal" and "foodie prince" who was laughed at by all the nobles, and there was deep sadness and pity in his eyes.
Shiloh was convinced that the old man could see through his disguise, but he never pierced himself, and he would always enjoy the food he had made with his own hands.
He once commented that his ability to cook food is the second best among the people he has seen in his life.
And the number one is actually the legendary first Tulip Duke Du Wei That's right there Of course, Laudel has also been, and was sent there when she was five or six years old.

However, Laudel's luck was not good, she only followed the old man for two months, and the old man died of illness.
And the first time I met Laudel was in the old man's courtyard.
I remember that time, I brought a particularly delicious fish from the south.
The dried fish has a special flavor and fishy smell, but after being thrown into a pot and boiled twice, it will become soft and delicious, and then sandwiched into a thin dough cake with two refreshing green melon shreds, and the mouth will make people want to swallow their tongues.
At that time, Lodel was only six years old, hiding behind a big tree and watching herself and the old man enjoy the food, and the cute little girl who had fallen out of the ice and snow was drooling very vividly on the spot.
After that, this little girl stuck to herself, and always liked to follow her behind.
When the old scholar died, Rodelle cried more than anyone else.
She has a deep affection for the old scholars, and she is the last of the old scholars.
Of course, Shiloh knew that there was another reason why she was crying so sadly: after the old scholar died, she would be taken back to the family castle and leave, never to see herself again, and never to eat those delicacies again.
But it doesn't matter, since then, I have developed another habit: every time I wander around the world from outside, before I go back, I will go to the castle of the Liszt family to see the little girl, and share the food I brought with her.
This habit was maintained for several years, until she grew up and became the first beauty recognized in the nobility circle of the empire How many times have I wanted to ask her a question: If one day I become the emperor, will you be my queen?
This sentence has lingered in my heart countless times, but I have never asked it.
Because I am afraid that I have been forbearing, I have always warned myself to be careful, to be cautious, and never show the slightest flaw He would rather endure the emotions in his heart than dare to reveal the slightest bit.
Until one last time, when he came back from the southern swamps, he brought back a roasted black pork leg smoked by the locals, and the two of them hid on the river beach behind the castle, and spent a full night gnawing on a pork leg The little girl with meat scraps on the corners of her mouth looked at herself with those sparkling eyes and asked herself a question: On the day of my coming-of-age ceremony, if you bring such a delicious pork leg again, I will marry you A girl's home is a girl's home, and even confession is so shy.
At that time, I almost said a "good" word from my mouth.
However, it was the last time I went to Liszt's castle and the last time I shared food with her But now that my brother was forced to die by myself, Camanro's puppy and Goth's friends from their youth were all killed by themselves, and when I woke up from my sleep in the middle of the night, sweating profusely, I asked myself, if I had promised that little girl, what would have happened A roasted pork leg in exchange for the heart of a girl who truly loves herself.
It's worth it, isn't it When the carriage stopped at the gate of the small courtyard, the Imperial Guards were ordered by Shiloh to stay at the street entrance and not enter.
Shiloh was relieved that the loyal guards had already searched the neighborhood.
He stepped out of the carriage and tied his hair haphazardly.
Looking at the familiar courtyard door, Shiloh smiled, and he turned around and took something from the hand of the attendant beside him.
It is a roasted pork leg wrapped in silk cloth, a tribute from the southern marshes carefully selected by the chefs of the palace, the finest black pork, burned with the finest spices and fragrant wood.
Well, when she walked in, she saw me bring such a thing, and she didn't know what her expression would be Shiloh suddenly became a little curious.
Even if she is only forced to give in under pressure, she can always let her heart slowly warm up stepped forward and pushed the courtyard door open The courtyard was empty, only the old towering tree, but it was almost dead, there were no fallen leaves under the tree, only the decayed and withered branches, and the old man's chaise longue had long since turned into broken and rotten wood uninhabited Shiloh stood there for a moment, and then his face changed suddenly, and he suddenly guessed something, and there was a hint of essence in his eyes Turned around: "Abandon the car and prepare for the horse to return to the palace" "To the southeast of the palace, two hundred steps to the left of the Hall of the Sages, close to the ditch.
There were at least fifty guards, and the rangers would pass by about once every half hour.
From here, there are three routes, among which the distance through the Corridor Bridge and the Canal Crossing over the Flower Garden, through the Faculty is the fastest, but there will be two in the middle to the palace ban.
Fiona said in a low voice: "The first palace is forbidden to have our people to answer, it is two palace attendants, and they will make a mess to attract their attention, but the second way is no way, after Shiloh took power, the royal forest army in the palace was cleaned too thoroughly, and our people were almost unable to stay, only these few chess pieces were left, and they would not be used unless they had to." ” The noble man glanced at her, nodded, and expressed satisfaction: "It's already very good."
