Chapter 190 The Cooling Fireplace
The night sky was quiet again.
The clothes were gently raised in the night wind, and then fell, and the sweaty back exuded bursts of coolness, which made people gradually realize the passage of time, and the critical moment passed slowly.
After a long silence, the two tiny black dots in the night sky gradually disappeared, and even the four-winged angel who fell to the ground disappeared.
Looking at the gradually clear night sky, scattered clouds drifting gently in the wind below, Roland Hill finally relaxed, and then the long-suppressed fatigue also flooded into his body and mind.
Now, I don't know if I have to sleep for a few months. I hope to see the midsummer next year.
With such thoughts in mind, the girl also slowly descended from the night sky like snow flakes.
She knew that those companions must have asked her a lot of questions, but at this moment the girl didn't have so much energy to explain. .

"We won another game." Chris' brisk applause came from the tower. The witch didn't care much about winning or losing, she just felt that everything was so interesting.
"This time, what do you want to ask for? The premise is ordinary, that is, it can't be too big, it can't be too much, it can only be appropriate." Chris turned the candy in her hand and looked aside with interest. Tides.
Si Ye was still flipping through the pages of the book in his hand, and his face with a little baby fat could not see any changes in expression in the candlelight, as if everything was expected by her, or the witch didn't care about winning or losing.
On the contrary, the twin witches opposite Chris, this time, looked at the girl who was gradually falling in the crystal ball with a little surprise.
She slept for a long time and only woke up in recent years. This was the first time she paid attention to and saw the battle of this new witch.
Tiides looked at the chessboard and did not answer immediately. She seemed to be thinking and weighing. After a few minutes, she raised her head.
"My request is that I hope Ayi Hekatri will remain neutral in this confrontation or agreement."
Hearing such a request, the twin witch on the side raised her head in amazement, and then she lightly covered her lips with a smile.
"Do you want me not to end? Tiides is really cautious, or maybe you have already guessed my previous plan."
"However, since you found out, then I have to agree. As expected of the leader of the faction who inherited Dorothy's position, she is still so powerful." The witch with the red and green eyes looked at Tides, and then suddenly said again. Getting a little bored, chin up with both hands.
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have come here. In fact, you are not familiar with me before." The witch who looked like an elf and a goblin looked sideways at the chessboard, her golden hair hanging down like silk threads.
"Actually, I'm not sure what your plan is, but for the current little Lorraine, Ai Hekatri, you're still too dangerous." Tidais picked up the white jade teacup and sipped it, and at this moment it was slightly Relax.
After this crisis, the other witches of the empire's faction will probably stop for a while, and when Vimiya rushes over from the sea, Little Lorraine should be stable.
Roland Hill, who was far away, was gradually falling into a deep sleep at this moment, and without her knowing it, there was another powerful and special opponent missing.

This winter has finally settled down. In recent years, the temperature has continued to drop, the cold season has been extraordinarily long, and the snow-covered season has made even the empire hesitate to suppress and conquer, and finally had to give up with a sigh.
"If it wasn't for the drag from the north, I would have led the troops to suppress it myself."
In a study room in the Rose Palace, Edron leaned on the golden red table and chair, leaned back, looked at the ceiling, and then rubbed his tired forehead.
Although his power is now unrivaled within the empire, he has more troubles and worries than before. In the past two years, he has not even had a day off, and has been busy with various affairs every day.
The conflict between the old nobles and the new nobles in the empire needs him to reconcile and balance. The rebellion of the Baska family in the south requires the deployment of troops from time to time, urging the suppression and sweeping, and the cold disaster in the north gradually spreads. When it came, the technological innovation mentioned by the Royal Academy had to be put on the agenda, and it was necessary to listen to meetings and decisions from time to time.
All kinds of thoughts and thoughts were flying around in his mind, causing the Prince Regent to have some headaches.
Maybe you should find someone to share it with yourself.
Thinking of the proposal of several close officials to get him married some time ago, the regent couldn't help but bring it to mind.
In fact, many years ago, he also had a vague verbal marriage contract, that is, to marry the Duke of the Red Dragon in the south, the Baska family.
It is a pity that because he was assassinated in that coup and fell into a deep sleep, this verbal agreement did not come to an end.
As early as when the emperor was on the western expedition, the military power of the millions of troops in the western expedition was an extremely sensitive issue.
With such a huge army, the emperor was naturally worried that he would hand it all over to the Baska family, so he let him join the army as a deputy marshal to check and balance the Duke of Red Dragon.
And this kind of behavior is naturally disliked by the other party. After going back and forth, the two sides also have rifts and resentment.
Later, the emperor passed away and died in an accident. In order to prevent chaos and division within the empire, he had to cut through the mess quickly, and reached a peace in a very short period of time.
The Armistice of Crancia.
And the price is naturally the Duke of Red Dragon, the Baska family. Because the Duke of Red Dragon was the main initiator of the war at that time, this was the bottom line of Crancia's inevitable revenge and could not back down.
Looking back on the experience over the years, it really makes people sigh and sigh, what went wrong in the end, so that it has come to this point.
If he hadn't launched a coup with Aymank that day, he might have married a lady from the Baska family by now.
Destiny really tricks people.
The still-young Prince Regent stood up, walked to the window, and looked out into the world through the frosted glass.
The snowflakes continued to fall, gradually covering the flowers and plants in the palace. The surroundings were very quiet, with only a few guards in dark red cloaks walking back and forth, doing patrols.
The fire in the fireplace gradually went out, and the lights in the room gradually dimmed. When the body became a little cold, the regent gradually became aware of it.
He wanted to say something, but after looking at the empty study, he gradually closed his mouth.
Yes, I have already reached this position, I am afraid I can no longer have friends.
The noble king walked slowly to the fireplace, squatted down, looked at the dark red ashes in the fireplace, picked up the firewood on the side, slowly added it one by one, and then simply snapped his fingers, silently. Red flames emerged from the firewood, rekindling the cooled fireplace.
The smell of smoke from the burning firewood came along, although it was very faint, it was enough to evoke his memory.
A long time ago, he was like this. He and Aymank lived in a cold palace. The two often took turns tinkering with the fireplace, while the other lay comfortably on the sofa and read idle books.
"If you have to do everything by yourself, it will be too tiring and troublesome. So, since we have each other, why not divide the work unreasonably, so that everyone can have a good time." Xiao Xiao Aymanck stood by the fireplace and said this to himself as if it were just yesterday.
It is a pity that there is no one who can share and take turns anymore.
