Chapter 1207 History Interspersed

The latest website: In the north of Loren Continent, the mountains, the cold wind and the flag of the Wilder family jointly rule the northern border of the empire. Although it is still autumn, for this cold northern land, the breath of winter has already begun Knocking on the door between the mountains——accompanied by the dry and cold air that has never stopped since the beginning of autumn, the weather in Lindong County is getting colder day by day. Some loose snow falls to the mountainside, and people living on the mountain may even suspect that the winter snow has come, and the cold wind will go first.

Of course, for Cold Winter Castle located on the top of the mountain, wind and snow are a more common thing, and this has nothing to do with solar terms. Even in midsummer, Cold Winter Castle will sometimes be suddenly covered by snow, even if The surrounding sky is clear, and snowflakes will fly up from the courtyard and balcony of the castle unreasonably—whenever such snowflakes suddenly appear, the servants in the castle will know that this is the "Ice Duke" who lives deep in the castle. "Emotions are changing, but whether the Guardian of the North is in a good mood that day... Only the close maids will know.

At the highest point of Wintercastle, a tower filled with magical radiance is standing quietly on the stone platform. Flying snowflakes are constantly condensing from the sky at the top of the tower, flying up and down around the tower and half of the castle. The stream of light formed in the air mixed with the flying snow, with a fascinating beauty, but also frightening because of the cold - two maids stood in a corridor on the upper floor of the tower, nervously Looking at the scene of heavy snow blowing outside the window, one of them couldn't help but come to the window and check again whether the window was closed.

The windows were of course closed, but looking at the heavy snow outside the windows, the maids always felt as if the cold wind had penetrated the walls and crystal glass, blowing on their faces.

"Is the hostess angry?" The maid who checked the window stepped back and whispered nervously to her companion, "It's been a whole day, and the snow hasn't stopped outside—now the courtyard is completely covered by snow gone."

"We don't need to think about it." The maid who stood there seemed very calm. "The hostess won't get angry with us casually when she is angry—and she is not necessarily angry, maybe she is just very happy today."

"You seem to understand it well?"

"Fortunately——I have been working in this castle for ten years, and the hostess is actually much gentler than you imagined, not to mention that Miss Maggie has returned to the castle now. We people are just worried."

"Hey? Has Miss Maggie come back? Why didn't I see it?"

"She just came back last night, she didn't enter the castle through the main entrance—she flew in directly from the terrace," some older maids couldn't help smiling, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, "don't forget Oh, Miss Maggie is a mighty dragon!"

"……Oh!"

...

The conversations taking place in the corridors were very quiet,

It is enough to deceive the ears of ordinary people, but cannot escape the perception of legendary mages and giant dragons. Standing in the magic meditation room, Victoria opened her eyes from meditation. Before she could speak, Maggie, who was waiting beside her, had already taken the initiative. He said, "Let me remind those two in the corridor, their discussion is getting more and more lively."

"No," Victoria shook her head expressionlessly, "They're just chatting, I don't care."

Maggie nodded slightly and didn't say anything else, but Victoria exhaled lightly and extinguished the burning incense in the meditation room with her hand. As the magic runes on the floor were extinguished one by one, the guardian of the north turned to look at herself The follower who was also a servant and a friend glanced at him and said casually: "Are you happy in Cecil City?"

Maggie glanced at Victoria with a half-smile: "If I said I was very happy, even so happy that I almost forgot to come back, would you be sad?"

Victoria didn't say a word, but just returned a blank stare.

"Well, your expression of 'knowing that I can't make a joke but I have to make a funny face to make a joke' is really obvious, I almost didn't see it," Maggie sighed helplessly, shrugged and smiled Said, "To be honest, I am quite happy in the imperial capital. Rebecca is a good friend. Your Majesty is generous and full of wisdom. The work as a flight advisor and instructor is not too heavy - and there are many dragonborns over there." .”

"Then why did you come back early?" Victoria asked curiously, "Isn't it good to be with your compatriots?"

"If I want to be with my compatriots, wouldn't it be better to return to the Holy Dragon Principality?" Maggie laughed, shaking her head and said, "There is no particular reason, it's just that the work over there has come to an end. The training is on the right track, and there are new dragon descendants signing up for the recruitment of the technical department. Compared with the imperial capital, you should need more manpower here—and even if something happens to the imperial capital, it will not be troublesome for me to fly there now .”

Victoria nodded without saying anything else, while Maggie looked into her eyes, listening to the sound of wind and snow whistling outside the castle, and after a few seconds she suddenly said: "I still can't calm down? I Remember that these meditation incenses are very effective for you."

"Incense can only help me concentrate, but it can't stop my mind from thinking," Victoria said helplessly, but she couldn't help recalling the information she got from Amber when she communicated with the Imperial Capital before, and her brows frowned. Little wrinkled up, no longer the expressionless look just now, "Now I finally understand how Hetty and Rebecca felt when they faced the revived ancestors in Gawain Cecil's mausoleum. ..."

Maggie looked at her friend quietly, and it took a long time to break the silence: "You are in a different mood from them, because the situation you are facing is completely different. They had nowhere to go, and the 'ancestors' who came out of the grave It is all their reliance and hope, and there is an openness in front of you, and you are displaying your ambitions on this open stage, so under this premise, a "ancestor" who suddenly appeared may not be the same for you. Good thing."

Victoria exhaled lightly, with a low voice: "Maggie, you know that's not what I'm worried about."

"Yes, I know that you are not a person who is greedy for power and status. Your self-confidence and ability make you difficult to shake under any circumstances. In addition, the actions of the great adventurer Mordir Wilde himself Style, you really don’t have to worry about him affecting the order you maintain here... But after all, an ancestor who has been away for six hundred years suddenly returned to this world. This incident may bring too many changes, doesn’t it? Maggie said with a faint smile, "Gods can't control the future, you're just a mortal, Vicky—but you don't like the feeling of losing control of the future."

Speaking of this, she paused, and then calmly added: "What's more, the state of that 'Great Adventurer Mordir' is very strange now, no matter whether he is resurrected from the grave or in the past six hundred years. He has been wandering around this world in a daze for years, and now he does not look like a 'normal living person', as a descendant of the Wilder family, it is impossible for you to leave such a family ancestor alone."

Victoria looked at Maggie, and after staring at her for a long time, she sighed helplessly, and the corners of her mouth curled up a bit: "It's better that you know me better—others may not be able to figure out what I'm thinking about even if they think about it all day beside me."

"Then what about your decision?" Maggie raised her head and asked calmly, "You've been frowning here for a long time—although it's not easy to see, you should have a decision now, right?"

"...I have responsibilities, and many decisions can't be so willful," Victoria mused for a moment, then whispered, "Especially now that the situation in the north has just stabilized, I can't put too much energy on my private affairs..."

"You're stretching yourself too tight, Vicky, and the matter of the old Duke of Mordir Wilde is not your private matter - it is something that even His Majesty is concerned about, and it has even affected the Empire and Tarrond The major events of the two countries." Maggie knew that the friend in front of her was a little bit tricky, and the other party's overly serious character was often a problem at this time. Fortunately, she was used to it. Decide, or you can discuss it with His Majesty first... If His Majesty agrees, then you don't need to worry."

"It seems that you trust our Majesty very much now," Victoria seemed to have thought of something in her mind, and she smiled, "You are right, this is an unconventional thing, and I should do something very The previous decision...Maggie, I decided to go to Tarrond in person to confirm the situation of the 'adventurer Mordir'. It is said that he cannot be stimulated by the surname 'Wild' now, so it must be There is no way to come to Cold Winter Castle, since he can't come, I will go to find him."

...

In Cecil Palace, in the study room covered with blue velvet carpet, Amber was standing opposite Gawain's desk, and Gawain nodded slightly after hearing her report.

"So... you think the Violet Kingdom in the north is a big 'suspect'," he raised his head and looked at the half-elf who was showing a serious look in front of him, "You suspect that Mordir Wilde's last adventure was to go to Violet—and something happened there that keeps him alive to this day in a strange state of 'amnesia'?"

"It doesn't necessarily mean that he has lived until today, maybe he also experienced a 'sleep' similar to yours, and he crawled out of the coffin for some reason until recently - and he himself didn't know it "" Amber said while sorting out her thoughts, "I have doubts about this right now, and there is no evidence yet. But think about it, the disappearance of Mordir was not a small matter for Ansu back then. The royal family and Weir The De family must have mobilized all their strength to search, even if they can't find anyone, they should find some clues - but all the clues were cut off after pointing to the north...

"Under such an intensive search, the clues can still be broken. Apart from Tarrond, there is only the mysterious Violet Kingdom, and Tarrond can basically be ruled out..."

Gao Wen listened to Amber's serious analysis, and nodded lightly: "Besides, let's look at the specific situation of that 'adventurer Mordir'. Tarrond hopes that we can send a Enya also suggested that people who know enough about Mordir contact him. Seriously... I'm also curious about that 'adventurer'."

"But you can't leave now," Amber rolled her eyes, "Whether it's Project 115 or the progress of the Black Forest, or several important projects with Typhon and the Silver Empire, you have to personally handle."

Gawain thought for a while, but he could only sigh: "Oh... I kind of understand Hetty's daily mood."

Amber opened her mouth and said, "Then you can't understand - she's too stressed and can paint herself a smoky makeup to cheer you up, and you don't have an old ancestor who just opened the coffin... Hey, I just said it casually." Say it! You didn’t lie, you don’t bring anyone who beats you!”

Gawain glared at the Shame of Everything who still had no handle on his mouth, and casually threw the silver seal he picked up just now back on the table—he was just joking, and he definitely wouldn't really hit this guy with something , It’s not that you’re really worried about hurting people, the main thing is that it’s troublesome if you want to come back after throwing things out. Although this Shadow Assault Goose is not very skilled, as long as the things you throw out and hit her are worth more than half a pound, Even if the thing was fired with a magic cannon, she can volley you unharmed and then run away quickly... This process can't even be explained by the legendary knight Gawain.

And at this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the magic net terminal not far from the desk, and with the dim light of the projection crystal activated, Gao Wen also turned his attention away from Amber.

The terminal was activated, the crystal became brighter, and Hetty's figure appeared in the holographic projection that quickly became clear, and she said with a serious face: "Ancestor, Silver Queen Belsetia and the mission have crossed the Dark Mountains, and it is estimated that there are still thirty Minutes to land at Pioneer Plaza.”

"Have you arrived already..." Gao Wen said softly, and then nodded, "I see, you first inform the reception staff on the other side of the square to prepare according to the scheduled procedures, and I will be there soon."

The visit of the mission from the Silver Empire was agreed a long time ago, and Gao Wen had already made arrangements for it, so he was not surprised at the moment, but thinking of the special nature of this mission still made his expression slightly change. Get serious.

Among the silver missions that are about to arrive at the imperial capital, the highlight is not the silver queen, but several elves with the titles of "Great Druid" and "Ancient Sage". Humans regard it as a "living fossil".

The leader among those silver elves was an ancient druid priest named "Azmore". Before the event of the fall of the white star three thousand years ago, he was once the "Servant of God" second only to the Silver Queen. , has received the baptism of divine grace from the God of Nature himself. According to the information sent by Belsetia, he is a "sage" recognized by more than half of the "old-school secret sects" in the Silver Empire today. activities in his name.

That is the last high-ranking priest in the world who still believes in Amorn devoutly and received "divine grace" three thousand years ago.

Gao Wen stood up from behind the desk, took a light breath, and walked out the door.

"Amoen's last 'anchor' left in the mortal world has arrived," he said in a deep voice, "let's go pick it up."
