389. The Problem of the Butterfly


The clear water of the lake rolls in the white waves, kissing the soft sand.On the sparkling surface of the lake, a few ospreys pass by from time to time.The blue sky was dotted with a few clouds, and a cloud happened to float under the majestic floating royal city, which looked like a golden city in the clouds from a distance.The streets of the first arrondissement are clean and tidy, the stone slabs are even carved out of the fine patterns to prevent slipping, the street trees on both sides are also some precious trees, the low shrub walls are neatly trimmed, and there are street lamps every ten meters on both sides of the street.Here, you will always see the knights of the Guard Regiment patrolling the streets on tall horses, wearing chain mail and long swords at their waists, and they look majestic as they pass through the streets.I rode a magic caravan through Yulin Street, crossed an arched bridge, turned a corner and merged into the lakeside avenue, and walked a long distance of five kilometers before I saw a corn-colored castle hidden in the green mountains and green waters.It is built next to the lake, where it is a hill with a high terrain, half of the castle is built on the hill, half of the castle is built in the lake, the red roof tiles, the lush trees, the clear and blue water of the lake, form a beautiful and quiet picture."

It was Prince James's castle, but unfortunately he had only been able to spend a handful of time here in the past twenty years."

Lady Arya put her head against the window of the car, pointed to the castle in the distance, and introduced it to me.I asked Lady Arya, "Won't you come with me?"

”Mrs.

Arya shook her head with a flat expression, and her eyes turned to Weiyang Lake outside the car window, and the cool lake breeze blew through the car window, blowing the broken hair in her ears.Dressed in a clean magical robe, with the Count's Medal on my chest, I stood with Caterina in front of the gates of this manor.A middle-aged butler walked out of the doorway gatehouse, he didn't ask who I was, he walked directly to me, nodded slightly to me, and said: "Your Excellency Wizard Jijia, I am ordered to wait for you again, please here" I don't know how this middle-aged butler knew me, he had a pale face, his eye sockets were deep, his lips as thin as paper were slightly purple and black, and he was wearing a gray dress, like a vampire count of the undead clan.His eyes were very cold, he walked quietly, and when leading the way in front, he always kept a distance of two meters from me, whether I walked fast or slow.We walked up the stone steps at the edge of the fountain in the square outside the castle and walked for two quarters of an hour to the gate of the majestic castle.In the exquisite garden courtyard, Le Die sat on the swing under the apple tree, staring blankly at the clouds in the sky, until she saw me walking in behind the middle-aged butler, her eyes regained some vitality, and she sat there and looked at me quietly.I remember the first time I saw her in front of the ivory tower of the High School of Magic in Sloit, she was dressed in gorgeous armor, riding a dragon proudly, and letting the dragon breathe fire at me, she was a proud and willful princess at that time.Le Die tried to repair me after the training in Xinliu Valley was over, but Princess Sha of the Ellie family stopped me in time and drove her out of Sloit City, making Le Die lose face.The second time I met her was in El City, where she and Nelson went to El City as exchange students at the Star Sea Academy of Magic to study at the Academy of War Magic, and in order to cause some trouble for me, she instigated a large-scale conflict between the young nobles of El City and the young graduates of the commoners.This directly led to the intensification of the contradiction between the aristocracy and the commoner class in Ell, a large number of young people from excellent civilian families were sent to the border town to garrison, just in time for the barbarians of the Storm Bear tribe to invade Sloit Province that winter, these youngest warriors of Ell City were all killed, and the relationship between the nobles and commoners of Ell City had an indelible rift.The third time I saw her was on the Hiero plane, when she was by William's side, and originally wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge on me during the journey, but I didn't expect the spider-man warrior to sneak into the Black Forest of the Hiero plane, and when exploring in the forest, Le Die and William were ambushed by giant spiders, and William escaped alone at a critical moment, and the relationship between the two broke down.Seeing Le Die sitting quietly on the swing, time did not leave a mark on her face, but it wiped her eyes brighter.She got up from the swing and walked slowly towards me, the morning sun streaming through her body, not only revealing the edges of her fair skin with a transparent and magnificent color, but also leaving a slanted shadow on the grass.I stood at the door and smiled at her, as if I was greeting a normal friend, and said to her, "Hi, Ledie, how are you doing?"

”The corners of Le Die's mouth twitched slightly, gently lifted the long skirt, walked up the steps, and said to me, "My father called you?"

”I nodded and said yes.She pursed her lips, smiled faintly, reached out and tucked her long golden hair behind her head, and said to me, "That dragon egg hatched a very healthy young dragon, but the wings are very small, and they are not very good at flying. ”"Oh, that's great, but are you really going to wait for it to grow?"

I asked Le Die, a little puzzled.I know that the lifespan of a wurm is about five hundred years, and it takes at least eighty years to grow from a young dragon to an adult wurm, that is to say, by the time this wurm reaches adulthood, Le Die has almost become an old man, even if the life span of a strong human is usually a little longer, but if Le Die waits for eighty years like this, it is a bit too unreliable."

yes!"

Le Die replied very happily.I was speechless, not sure if I should say words of encouragement, comfort, or both."

Doesn't that seem incredible?"

Le Die covered her mouth and asked me in a low voice.I kept my mouth shut, but nodded stupidly.Le Die squinted at me, her face has two dimples that are the same as Ying Li, her face is slightly thinner than Ying Li, the standard melon seed face, and the delicate face is very much in line with the style of the royal princess."

Actually, it's not that complicated, don't you know, in fact, the speed of time flow is different in each plane?"

Kige's eyes widened and he asked me.Hearing this from Kige, I shook my head blankly."

Normally, when we choose to conquer those unknown and unfamiliar planes, we will look for those planes that are not much different from the world rules of the Roland Continent, but among the countless planes, there are also many planes whose time flow rate is several times or even dozens of times that of the Roland Continent.""

After it hatches and signs the magic contract, I will order someone to take it to a plane with a time flow rate of about fifty times that of the Roland Continent, so that I only need to wait quietly for two years before it can grow into an adult wurm."

Listening to Le Die's explanation, I realized a little, it turns out that it doesn't take so long to domesticate a dragon.When Le Die's eyes widened, at a certain moment, it seemed as if Ying Li was standing in front of me.She asked me, "You don't even know this?"

Didn't the Royal Academy of Magic talk about that?

”The middle-aged butler who was standing quietly on the side suddenly coughed twice, and then said apologetically to Le Die: "Ahem, Princess Le Die, Prince James has probably arrived in the reception room." ”"Well, don't bother you to go see James."

The smile on Le Die's face suddenly disappeared, she lowered her head and lifted the white gauze skirt, turned around and was about to leave, but after a second, she stopped.She turned around again and shouted to me, "Oh, yes, please wait. ”Her voice was crisp, like a yellow warbler singing on a branch in the early morning.I stopped unhurriedly and stood in place looking at the butterfly who came back.At this time, the attendants standing on both sides pushed open the gate of the ancient castle, and the middle-aged butler stood on the stone steps, his old-fashioned face was like a layer of ice condensed, and he could only stand in place and wait patiently for us.I calmly asked Le Die, "Princess Le Die, do you have anything else?"

”"Win Li, she is still there" Le Die's eyes darkened, and the words in her mouth only stopped after half a sentence, and said with some frustration: "Oh, forget it, I have nothing to do." ”I could tell she wanted to ask about Ying Li's current situation, but it was really not appropriate to talk about it here.At this moment, she took a few steps with her skirt in hand, and caught up with me as she walked side by side into the castle, where the attendants on both sides saluted Le Die.The hall on the first floor of this castle is very luxuriously decorated, with a thick beige velvet carpet on the floor, all the furniture and ornaments are plated with a thick layer of gold, several huge crystal chandeliers are hung on the ceiling, some precious oil paintings and collectibles are hung on the walls around it, almost every beam and column has exquisite reliefs, and the hall is filled with a pleasant fragrance.I saw that among the maids walking through the hall, there were many elven faces, they were just wearing a thin gauze skirt, and their snowy skin was hidden in it, and they secretly sighed that this was the prince's mansion after all, and even the elven maids had them.As I walked, I said to Le Die, "I heard that you are getting engaged?"

”Le Die was silent."

I've heard that it's William?""

Yes."

Le Die bit her lip and snorted.I leaned into her ear and whispered to her, "Don't you feel sick when you see him?"

”Le Die whispered with a look of resentment: "It's disgusting, but what can I do, no one believes what I say, everyone thinks he is a big hero on the Hiero plane, even James is no exception." ”So, I asked Le Die: "So this wedding is not what you want?"

”Le Die seemed to hear the voice, showed a surprised expression, and said, "Can you help me convince James?"

”I scratched my head and said a little embarrassed, "Oh, I'm afraid this is a bit hard, but I have other options!"

”Le Die's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked me, "What's the way?"

”I grinned and said to Le Die, "I can beat him so much that his mother doesn't even recognize him before you get engaged to him, so that he doesn't have the face to appear at the engagement scene at all." ”Le Die rolled her eyes, became listless again, and said to me very unconfidently: "Okay, I think probably no one is more expecting you to win than me now." ”I asked her, "It looks like you don't have much faith in me?"

”Ledie nodded very bluntly and said to me!

The middle-aged butler led me to a wooden door carved with human reliefs, and two knights in demonic costumes stood guard at the door, they stared at me vigilantly, making me feel like I was being stared at by two wolves.I casually looked at the exquisite decorations in the castle, and the middle-aged butler came out of it and said to me, "You can go in, the prince is waiting for you inside." ”The moment I pushed the door, I was quite nervous, because I didn't know much about the supreme commander of the South Wind Legion, and Ying Li rarely talked to me about family affairs.But the moment the door was pushed open, I calmed down.This parlor is not very large, the whole room looks very empty, only in the center of the parlor, there is a mahogany round table, Prince James stands in front of a round table, he is wearing a crisp black military uniform, burly, pursed his lips, his eyes fall on the crystal ball in the center of the round table, his expression is focused.I didn't feel the oppression of the strong in him, but I felt the majesty of the superior in him.Standing in the doorway, the whole living room was very quiet, and I could even hear my own heartbeat.In him, I could not feel the suffocating oppression brought by the prince, and the aura he exuded at this time made him more like a father.Finally he raised his head and stared at me with those eagle-sharp eyes.Instead of avoiding his sharp gaze, I chose to calmly meet his gaze, and he looked for my hand and said, "Your name is Jijia?"

”I nodded and said honestly, "Yes." ”"You know that Ying Li is my daughter, the princess of the Grimm Empire?"

His voice wasn't too loud, but every word came out of his mouth like a boulder crashing into my heart, making me feel like I couldn't breathe.I said, "Yes!

”At this moment, the room suddenly seemed to be extremely cold.Another suffocating silence.Prince James returned his gaze to the giant crystal ball and waved at me.I walked over to the round table and looked at the crystal ball on the table with him, and James asked me, "What do you see inside?"

”There seemed to be layers of mist in the crystal ball, and when I stared at it, I saw that the layers of fog were gradually dispersing, and a blurred face gradually emerged inside
