After the battle plan was decided, the camp of the Knights of the North Wind Legion quietly uprooted in the evening sunset.Under the leadership of more than a dozen second-turn knights including Count Desmond, the five thousand constructed knights of the North Wind Legion took advantage of the night to pass through the teleportation circle in the back garden of the Duke's Palace and rushed to Pereira City on the Hierro plane.Zach also went to Pereira City in person, and took out the requisition order of the Duke's Palace to forcibly requisition ten magic airships at the airport.The ten Constructed Knights almost did not make any stop in Pereira City at all, and arrived directly at the airport outside the city through the central avenue of Pereira City, and the ten floating airships almost threw away all the unnecessary heavy objects in the cabin, loaded with the Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion and nearly 10,000 war horses and mules, and rushed directly to Tanton City.The inhabitants of Pereira finally see a glimmer of hope.On the eve of the expedition, the Duke of Samoyed convened an internal meeting of the lords of Durwa Province at the Duke's Palace, calling on the lords of Durwa Province to actively respond to this dimensional war.Instead of taking a magic blimp with the Constructed Knights to Tanton City, I returned directly to the Imperial Capital through a temporary teleportation array.Walking out of the portal of the magic teleportation hall, it was already midnight, and the friend of Senior Dylan who was guarding the portal had not yet left, he saw me coming out of the portal, and said to me with a look of surprise: "Why did you come back from Durva Province so quickly, has the matter been resolved?"
”I nodded slightly and said, "Everything went very well, thank you." ”Caterina and I walked out of the teleportation hall together, the busiest streets of the Fifth Block were still bustling with traffic, and the Royal Opera House of the Imperial Capital on the opposite side had just ended, and countless magic caravans were crammed on the avenues, and some nobles in fancy costumes were discussing the content of the performances while boarding the carriages under the guidance of the attendants.The night sky is full of stars, and the floating imperial city hidden under the starry sky exudes magnificent colors, and a team of Gripen knights quietly flies through the night sky.We boarded a magic caravan on the side of the road to the door of Arya's house in the third block, and paid the coachman a silver coin, which slowly disappeared into the misty night.The gatekeeper who is on duty at the door at night opens the door sleepily, and there is no need to report to the inner house, and the gatekeeper of the gate is connected to the main house with a string bell, and the gatekeeper on night guard will ring the crisp bell.Caterina and I walked into the front yard along the main road of the round arched cloister, and the stone slabs on the main road were renewed.Walking to the steps of the main house, the middle-aged housekeeper greeted me on the steps and asked, "Do you need to prepare some refreshments for you?"
”The walnut door carved with an ancient pattern was open, and a maid in a thin nightgown yawned as she lit the magic sconces in the living room."
Thanks, no, please give me two glasses of water if you can."
I said to the housekeeper.Walking into the living room, a maid hurriedly stepped forward to help me take off my coat, Betty walked down the stairs with a magic lamp, she was wearing a silk pajamas, she stepped barefoot on the carpet, and her white toenails were painted with cardamom nail polish."
You all go to sleep, just leave it to me."
Betty instructed the housekeeper and the maid before she asked me, "Didn't you say you were going to Durva?"
Why did you come back so soon?
The host has just fallen asleep. ”"I'm going to get back to Hierro overnight, and before I do that, I have some things to do with Arya."
I said to Betty.Betty led us up to the bedroom on the third floor, where the wall lamps in the hallway were very dim.Walking into Arya's room, Arya sat up from the bed with the quilt in her arms, saw me push the door in, quickly lifted the quilt, ran down from the bed barefoot, hugged me and Caterina respectively, and then asked me, "Did you come to me so late, did something happen?"
”She wore the same silk nightdress as Betty, her plump body wrapped under the nightdress, and her eyes showed a hint of worry.I reached out and patted her pale face, and said to her: "You can help me purchase a batch of supplies tomorrow, I have written the details on the list, the situation in the green valley jungle of the Hiero plane is very bad, I need to stay there to ensure the safety of the orc warriors over there, these materials will be handed over to you to help me procure, before next week, the constructed knights of the North Wind Legion will arrive in Tanton City, and the materials on the list also need to arrive there at the same time." ”Arya gave Betty a look, and Betty hurriedly stepped forward and took the list of goods in my hand."
Jijia, what else can I do for you?"
Arya threw herself into my arms, pressed her head to my chest, and whispered, "You've been going back and forth between Hierro and the Imperial Capital lately, so you should stop and rest at the right time." ”I rubbed her long smooth hair with my hand and said to her, "Wait until this crisis in the Midoriya Jungle is over, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop for a moment now." ”She straightened up and said with a look of anguish, "Maybe you should have a little glass of wine with me and a little sleep with me, even if it's for an hour or two." ”I thought about it seriously, but in fact, I still had some concern for Karantso in the southern part of the Green Valley Jungle, she was like a dancer standing on the tip of a knife, and there was a lot of danger around her.At this moment, Betty, who was standing on the side, said to me: "Please don't be busy refusing first, the materials in Xinliu Valley still need to be transported to the warehouse here, not only the magic pattern spider silk ingots on the side of the textile workshop, but also the rune copper magic pattern rune plate on the side of the rune workshop also needs to be replenished, you can open the portal, take advantage of the time when the orcs are moving the materials out of Xinliu Valley, rest in the bedroom for a while, no one will disturb you." ”I thought of a pact with Prince James, who promised me that within two days he would prepare two hundred bed crossbows for me.I said to Arya, "Alright, I'll open the portal to the Willow Valley later, that's right!"
I'm going to Lakeside Manor tomorrow morning, and James promised to help me get a batch of bed crossbows, and I'm just a little worried about where the two hundred bed crossbows should be. ”A fox-like smile appeared in Arya's eyes, and she whispered to me: "I bought another bankrupt nobleman's leather workshop in the seventh block, and he has a large area for drying leather in his workshop, as long as the wooden shelves in the field are cleared, it should be able to fit" There was an even breathing sound from the bedroom, I followed the sound to look for it, and found that Caterina was lying on a wicker chair and was asleep, her long flaming hair was spread out, and the wurm leather armor on her body had not had time to take off, Curled up like a baby in a mother's body, sleeping soundly.Betty tried to walk over and wake her up and tell her to take off her tight wurm leather armor and lie down on the bed so that she could be more comfortable, but was stopped by Arya and said, "Don't disturb her, let her sleep for a while." ”Before the morning fog cleared on the shore of Weiyang Lake, I took Caterina to the gate of the lakeside manor in Arya's magic caravan.The guard in front of the Prince's Mansion saw me poking my head out of the carriage and hurriedly pushed the gate of the manor open to let the carriage enter the manor.The carriage stopped beside the fountain sculptures in the square in front of the manor, and I saw the middle-aged butler next to Prince James waiting beside him, who saluted me and said, "Your Majesty has been summoned to the palace early in the morning, and before you leave, I have specially instructed me that you will come today, let me take him to sign it himself, and go with you to the logistics department to find Earl Donald, two hundred brand-new bed crossbows have been prepared for you." ”I hesitated a little and asked the middle-aged butler, "Is it convenient for me to say good morning to Lady Manda?"
”"Of course, Madame is having breakfast in the dining room at the moment, so please let me report it to you."
After saying that, the middle-aged butler turned around and walked quickly towards the castle.At this time, I happened to see Ying Li standing on a balcony of the castle, holding on to the marble railing and waving to me, probably knowing that I would be at the lakeside manor today, so he specially lived in the castle and waited for me, and I also saw Helena and Becky on the balcony, they were wearing white gauze dresses, and they looked so beautiful.Ying Li motioned for me to wait for her by the fountain, and then disappeared on the balcony with Helena and Becky, and in a few moments the three girls ran out of the castle, and Ying Li stood in front of me panting.Before I could speak, Helena threw herself into my arms like a koala, her hands around my neck and hanging on top of me, her lips like rose petals, and a peculiar lemon scent on her lips.Until now, I am still not used to this way of getting along with Ying Li, feeling the enthusiasm of Helena on the one hand, and on the other hand, I have to keep my sanity and chat with Ying Li at all times, it feels like I am going to split myself in half.Ying Li smiled and said to me, "I knew you would be coming over this morning, so I stayed here at the lakeside manor and waited for you." ”I know she's eager to hug me, but after all, this is the Prince's Palace, and it's still under the nose of Lady Manda, so you have to endure the little things you shouldn't have.Helena was completely unrestricted, she took my arm affectionately and said to me happily, "Jijia, I heard that you took a long leave from the Royal Academy of Magic in the name of being promoted to a magician?"
This matter has spread on our Swordsman Academy, saying that there is another amazing genius magician in the Royal Academy of Magic, and after being promoted to the second year, it is like the academy applying for a long vacation for a promotion, but when I hear that you are married, I am constantly regretting. ”Under the gaze of the three girls, I scratched my head a little embarrassed.I told Ying Li my plan: "I didn't want to be promoted so quickly, but I need this vacation very much at the moment, the situation in the Hiero plane has changed a bit, I'm afraid that a large-scale plane war will be launched in the near future, this time because of my relationship, the North Wind Legion has also gathered ten Constructed Knights to expedition to the Hiero plane, and the Duke of Samoyed will also launch a counterattack against the Nibru Spiders in Pereira City recently, I need to take this opportunity to expand the territory of Trum's territory to the south." ”Ying Li only went to the Hierro plane last month, and she was also very familiar with the Green Valley Jungle, she stared at me with wide eyes and asked me in a lost voice: "Ji Jia, are you going to include the Green Valley Jungle in your territory?"
”I nodded and said, "If you can, why not?"
”Ying Li asked worriedly, "Wouldn't that be dangerous?"
”I stood in front of Ying Li and said to her, "Don't forget, as long as I don't go out of the Black Forest, I will have a geographical advantage, and wherever I go, I can get some help from the dryads and the natives of Hierro," Helena whispered to me, "I also want to go to the Hiero plane to help you." ”I put one hand around her slender and soft waist and asked her, "Are you sure you won't mess with me over there?"
”Before Helena could protest, I heard the middle-aged butler on the steps beside me say respectfully, "Count Giga, Madame invites you to come and have breakfast with you." ”Ying Li didn't expect me to take the initiative to greet Lady Manda, so she immediately decided to go with me to the restaurant in the castle.The long row of tables was covered with fine tablecloths, the porcelain plates on the tablecloths were inlaid with gold edges, the silver knives and spoons were placed on both sides of the porcelain plates, there was not much food on the table, one fruit bowl was full of all kinds of fresh fruits, whether it could be seen in the season or not, in this fruit bowl could be found, and in the other large plate were a few fried whitebait.Lady Manda was sitting at the dining table in her elven nightgown with delicate cut-outs, tasting a pan-fried whitebait, she did not deliberately groom, but instead made her look at least ten years younger than usual, which made me inevitably think that the elves lived for eight hundred years, and it was obvious that she usually dressed to make herself look older, so that when she stood with Prince James, she could look more suitable.But at this moment, she is more young as Ying Li and Le Die's sister."
I heard you're going to fight in a plane war, right?"
Her use of pure Elven language to communicate with me is a must for every magician, and I can understand it, but I am not very familiar with everyday language."
Yes, I'm here to say goodbye to you."
Stumbling over Elven language like this made my face a little hot.Lady Manda looked up at me and said, "James and I have mentioned that you are a brave young man, and that you have proved to us by some things that you are excellent, but there are some things that you should not be anxious about, and as for the glory, it will always be yours." ”I repeated the words I was about to say in my heart several times before I said, "I will take your words to heart." ”This time it was much more fluent, just a bit like a spell, without any tone embellishment."
Oh, would you like to try the pan-fried whitebait?
Served with sour berries and strawberry jam, it's an elf-style breakfast. ”Lady Manda asked me.Lady Manda, with a softer expression, motioned to the waiter beside her to place a pan-fried whitebait on the plate in front of me.I took a bite and the fish was very tender."
Thank you, this breakfast was delicious."
Sitting across from me, and listening to our conversation about a delicious breakfast, he whispered to Lady Manda, "Don't you persuade him anymore?"
”Lady Manda glanced at Ying Li, showed a doting face, and said, "At this time, can he still stop?"
Don't worry, people who can be trusted by the ancient tree clan will generally not have too bad luck in the forest. ”
