Chapter 773

The atmosphere in the living room fell silent again. The eyes of the two women sitting on the same seat were shifting, as if they were thinking about how to speak. The maid who came to serve tea finally gave Sally a reason to stand up and sit back in her seat. , After the two faced each other, they both held teacups, as if they were very interested in the hot drink in the cups. 1??Reading????To ·To??????·

"I…"

"actually…"

Unexpectedly, the two spoke at the same time. This eased the tense atmosphere a lot, and Akasha breathed out: "What do you want to say, Your Excellency the Duke?"

"I'd better call you sister." Although Sally was young, her aura was much stronger than Akasha's. Being in a high position gave her words a certain momentum, but at this time she did not use her status to overwhelm others, but continued in a calm tone: "Rody's here... Actually, there is no need for you and me to be so stiff. Before It's because I'm not sensible, but to be honest, I don't want to compete with my sister on this right now."

"you mean?"

Akasha knew that she could not compare with the Duke in front of her in terms of scheming and momentum after all, so she could only ask along the way.

Birth is a matter of choice, and the huge class gap between the two cannot be erased at will. As long as one is in a feudal society, this difference in status determines Akasha's weakness. Because of this, she has more hostility towards Akasha in her heart. This hostility, to put it bluntly, comes from class fear and inferiority complex.

Seeing that she was willing to talk to her, Sally breathed a sigh of relief. Floods are worse than sparse ones. Roddy, who is sentimental, cannot be stopped, but the tense situation caused by this is definitely not what that guy wants to see... In her opinion, Roddy, the "Cabinet Prime Minister", has to worry about it Everything is more important than "emotional issues". As the titular master of Efta, even if she felt a little wronged, she decided to make some sacrifices to ensure that Rody would use all his energy to manage Efta.

"This 'cabinet meeting' is not simply for the affairs of the Dragon Clan. Perhaps you have seen it, sister. This year's Efta has a bumper harvest, and it looks like the weather is going well. But Charles II's side is even worse, and it seems to be on the verge of collapse..." She looked up. Looking at Akasha, I sigh in my heart that the woman in front of me is indeed full of allure, not only because of her figure, but also because of her pure breath. Compared with those noble ladies who were full of intrigue and only knew how to squeeze out the best interests, Akasha obviously gave everything to Roddy, and took it as one of the things she was most proud of in her life.

In fact, this has exceeded the boundaries of emotion, and it is more like a simple risk. However, the young Sally couldn't understand the deep meaning. She sorted out her words and continued: "Actually, the Karen Kingdom has lasted for more than seventy years, and the royal family's heritage is far deeper than it appears on the surface. In a short period of time, we are very It is difficult to shake the opponent's foundation, and to control the 'Rose Cross' is already the limit of what can be done at present, no matter how much... the backlash caused by it may be huge."

"Whether it is the public opinion that is trying to control, or the tendency of magicians, there are still many enemies we will face in the future. The internal contradictions in Efta are also gradually emerging. The system promoted by Roddy has obviously touched the hearts of too many people. Benefits, this kind of backlash may appear at any time."

Sally put down the teacup lightly, looked at Akasha whose face had changed, and said, "Don't look at everything is peaceful now, in fact, Efta has been walking on thin ice, and is in danger of overturning at any time."

"It's obviously better to have someone like you to help him."

Akasha had to admit this, she looked away in a daze, and her lips pursed. She also knew that no matter how hard she tried, it would be difficult to compare with the Duke who had a higher vision and power.

"That's not what I meant, Sister Akasha."

Sally sat upright, and continued: "I think... you and I sit here or fight each other or provoke each other, but it will make Roddy very distressed. He stands in front of Efta like a mountain, and resolves the situation for us. He has suffered countless disasters and endured countless pressures. In his heart,

I think the most important thing is not necessarily the tens of thousands of people in Efta, but you and me. "

Having said that, there is no need to explain too much. It's not that Akasha hasn't thought about these things, but after all, she doesn't have a long-term and thorough perspective like Sally. At this moment, I realized how childish my previous actions were, and I couldn't help being a little discouraged: "I made a joke, Sally...Forget it, I'll call you sister, and I hope you don't blame me."

When she said that, Sally was completely relieved. The almost frozen atmosphere between the two quickly disintegrated in these few words. Although they were still not friendly to each other, they obviously no longer had that tit-for-tat relationship. contradiction.

Akasha can endure and do anything for Rody, so she adjusts her emotions very quickly at this time. After taking a breath, she changed the subject and said: "The cabinet meeting may need to be postponed for a few days, so today we need to Should I go to the exchange meeting? Or the Department of Magical Research to see the latest achievements? Rody said that after the road is repaired, some things will be applied in Holy City soon."

"Okay, it's natural to let my sister arrange these things. This city is much better than Houllier City. I didn't have time to look carefully when I entered the city."

Sally smiled slightly, but as soon as she finished speaking, the three little snakes in "Viper's Kiss" curiously figured out that they all felt the change in Sally's mood, obviously wanting to see who made the master do this. Decide.

For this reason, Sally specifically asked Akasha if she could let the three Vipers come out. Akasha had heard about the "Viper's Kiss", and she was also curious about what was different about this artifact. In seconds, she saw three two-meter-long vipers cruising and climbing onto the couch, and gathered around her armchair curiously.

Stared at by six pairs of different eyes, Akasha was indeed a little flustered at first. But she believed that Sally would not be so bored as to scare herself with this, so she reached out and tried to touch Megaera. To Sally's surprise, the three vipers seemed to have a good impression of Akasha, and they ran to her side to be stroked one by one. Seeing how they squinted their eyes, they obviously enjoyed it abnormally.

Sally herself was a little surprised by the performance of the three Vipers. It may be understandable that Megaera has a lazy personality, but Alecto and Tisiphone are obviously colder, and it has never happened that they are interested and approached. Akasha didn't realize this, and after the initial nervousness, she watched with great interest as Megara curled up on her lap and began to doze off, while Alecto climbed up her shoulder to look left and right, Tisiphone crooked rubbing his head enjoying her touch...

"Where are the spiritual snakes? They are pure elemental creatures? But... I always feel that they look familiar."

The more Akasha thought about it, the more she felt that the "three vipers" seemed very familiar, and when Sally summoned the three vipers back, she finally realized where she had seen similar scenes!

"That temple..."

"Um?"

Sally was a little surprised why she stared at herself and said this word, but Akasha shuddered and asked, "Everyone says 'kiss of the viper' is a divine weapon... so what does this 'sacred weapon' mean, It should refer to the gods used it, right?"

"It?" Sally raised the scepter in her hand. "Actually, there are different opinions, and there is no definite source. I have collected a lot of information and statements, but none of them have conclusive evidence. Either it came from overseas, or It fell from the sky."

These words further affirmed Akasha's inner thoughts. She shook her head and said in a low voice: "So, it is very likely that it came from overseas."

"Because I saw a similar scene on the murals of a temple in Rahiman..."

*****

While Akasha and Sally were discussing about the artifact, Rody, who was waiting for Kardashian to cast a spell to detect it, was looking down at the "ball of confinement" and discovered the message Edith had left for Camilla.

"Be careful...don't cast spells."

After Rody wrote down these two points that need attention, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. However, Kardashian next to her was still heartless. After the five-minute detection spell was over, she suddenly shouted: "There is a reaction! Over here!"

This news really excited Roddy, but Kardashian was obviously happier than him. She didn't even bother to change the dragon body. She waved to Rody and took him to fly in another direction. Because the direction was determined, Kardashian no longer maintained the previous flying height of more than 500 meters, but only flew at a position of 40 to 50 meters above the ground. Even so, there are still many tall trees in the Brill Forest that have reached such a height, so Rody, who is in the air, can see the spiers of the trees passing in front of him from time to time.

"Kardashian"

"Calling sister, why are you so polite?"

Well, it's polite to call names now... Rody had no choice but to continue: "Sister, I just got some news from the Grand Arcanist, mainly saying that we must be cautious after entering the magic tower, because our strength will be suppressed. At the same time, don't trigger the tower's passive defense circle, you can't cast spells in it..."

"So many rules? Why can't you cast spells?"

Kardashian said so, but she also understood that the magic towers in that period were very well-regulated and heavily guarded. The more powerful the mage, the more restrictions there are in the magic tower, because many times the magic tower will play the role of a "war fortress", and no negligence can be tolerated.

"I didn't say the specific reason, but I said that it will trigger some traps, and there are some other things, which are difficult to deal with."

Kardashian didn't say anything, and Roddy didn't know if he listened. But he reckoned that this Dragon Clan wouldn't take it seriously. Although the title of "Grand Arcanist" was bluffing, how powerful would a magic tower that hadn't been used for seven hundred years be without its master's control? Besides, Edith's words were a bit too alarmist to the dignified Dragon Clan. Could it be that you can't cast spells after entering the magic tower? (To be continued..)
