Chapter 134

Lucius still sat there in a daze.

In the past few days, it was not uncommon for Lucius to behave like this. Seeing this, she took a blanket from the cabinet and covered Lucius.

At this time, she glanced and saw the teacup on the table.

She reached out and touched it, and found that the tea cup was still warm.

Vivian immediately became alert. She walked downstairs and came to the kitchen.

"Has anyone come to pour tea this morning?" Vivian asked seriously.

"Ah, well, only Madam has been here." The maid in charge of the kitchen said.

Hearing this, Vivian frowned.

Then, she came to the second floor and knocked on Li Teuk's door.

Walking into the room, Vivian reported what happened today to Li Te.

"Master Li Te, although I don't want to go

Think about it in that aspect, but it is obvious that Madam intends to get rid of me. "

Everyone in the family knows that Randall is Mary's confidant, and Randall basically represents Mary's wishes when doing things.

And Mary took the initiative to send Vivian away and went to deliver tea to Lucius herself. The meaning contained in it was self-evident.

Although they are also a family, Vivian is Orson's confidant. Orson asked her to be optimistic about Mary, so she must be wary of Mary.

"I understand, Miss Vivian, thank you for your hard work." Li Te nodded after hearing this. "Mom, she really guessed that there was something wrong with my father."

Leeteuk said this and sighed.

She didn't know what Mary was going to do after she found out about this, but in Li Te's view, the task Orson had given her was not completed properly, which made her feel a sense of frustration.

At this time, she suddenly remembered that before leaving, Orson gave her an envelope and asked her to open it when she encountered difficulties.

Lite thought for a moment, opened the drawer of his desk, took out the letter, and then read the contents carefully.

For a moment, her eyes brightened.

…

At night, Randall took Mary's secret message and prepared to rush to the city of Saint Laurent. Not long after leaving the Duke's residence and before leaving the city of Antica, Randall felt a few eyes staring at him.

He quickly got into the nearby woods.

Unexpectedly, this drill played directly into the hands of that group of people.

Randall stepped on a trap in the woods and was hung upside down.

Then, several people emerged from the shadows.

"Hello, Mr. Randall." Virgil was the first to speak. "It's so late, why are you rushing out? As a servant of the Duke's Palace, are you trying to betray the Duke?"

"No, no, how could it be?" Hearing this, Randall quickly shook his head. "I just want to deliver a letter for Madam."

"Letter?" Virgil raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "Are you going to deliver a letter at this time? Is it some shameful letter?"

"How is that possible!" Randall retorted immediately. "This is Madam's letter, how could it be something shameful..."

"Then why did you choose to deliver it at night?" Virgil said, and quickly ordered his men to search him.

"What are you doing!? Do you know if you do this, my wife will be angry if she finds out!"

"Madam, I will naturally be there to apologize, but please understand that your actions are really suspicious."

"Besides, you can't return to Madam until you are sure everything is fine." With that said, Virgil ordered his men to take Randall away, then looked at the envelope in his hand and fell into deep thought.

…

"Virgil, are you sure the letter has not been dropped?" In Li Te's room, she looked at the letter in her hand and frowned.

"Well, I'm sure Randall only had this letter with him at that time." Virgil nodded. "There are no signs of loosening of the ink pad, so there is no possibility of it being swapped."

"That's weird..."

Randall did send a letter to Mary, but the content of the letter was very simple, which was to invite Mary's noble lady friend in Saint Laurent City to come to the Duchy of Antica to reminisce about the past.

Just looking at the content of the letter, there is indeed nothing wrong with it.

It’s not like we really arrested the wrong person, right?

Just as Leeteuk was thinking this, there was a knock on the door of the room.

Then, Mary walked into Leeteuk's room.

"Li Te, I asked my servant Randall to deliver a letter to the inn for me yesterday, but he hasn't come back yet. Have you seen Randall's movements?"

"Ah, I'm so sorry, mother. I don't know where Randall has gone. If possible, you can wait at home. He might just have other things to deal with, so he hasn't come back yet."

"Okay." Mary nodded after hearing this. "If Randall hasn't come back by then, I hope you can mobilize the city defense troops to help find him. That letter was sent to a friend by me. It's obviously just an ordinary letter..."

Listening to Mary's words, Lite felt a little guilty for some unknown reason. After all, as family members, they shouldn't plot against each other, right?

Could it be that Mary really didn't do anything and just wanted to pour Lucius a cup of tea that day? Was she simply overthinking it?

But when he thought of the letter Orson left for him, Lite couldn't tell Mary what he had done.

She still believed in Orson more than Mary.

…

And on the other side, the city of Saint Laurent.

Emperor Odysseus and Giovanni are chatting.

When Giovanni went to Beijing to report on his duties today, he suddenly mentioned the matter of the Duchy of Antica.

"Oh, Emperor, let me tell you, the eldest son of the Duke of Antica, Orson, is really a genius." Saying this, he did not hide his praise for Orson at all.

"We have never, never achieved such a beautiful and clean victory in a war against the orcs."

Of course, Giovanni was talking about the main battlefield. If those pig teammates hadn't appeared on the secondary battlefield, this war would have been smoother.

"Well, yes, Orson's performance is indeed good." Odysseus nodded after hearing this. He looked at Giovanni curiously, not knowing what he was going to say.

"I think that in order to honor such people, we should hold a large banquet in the Dukedom of Antica to celebrate our victory." Giovanni stated his purpose. "Although there was a celebration banquet held on the front line before, your Majesty, as well as several of our dukes, did not attend the celebration banquet."

"I think that for such a meaningful event, we should go to the Duchy of Antica to congratulate Duke Lucius. That would be great!"

"Well, what you said makes sense." Odysseus nodded, "That's it, I'll write to Lucius today."

"Okay, thank you Your Majesty." Giovanni said with a smile.

Chapter 23: Feng Sha Ping and Family Crisis (1.7W two chapters in one)

On the other side, Orson was still chatting with the shaman.

"By the way, this is my first time coming to the temple. I would like to ask, besides this main hall, does the temple have any other branches?"

"No." The orc shaman shook his head. "We only worship the great Limusa here."

"Then... may I ask, are there any sacred objects in the temple? Or are there any places that we must not go to?"

"If you want to ask this, I really can't think of it for a while..." The orc shaman thought for a while, and then said: "The temple originally had a basement, but for some reason, no one could enter it. The basement, gradually it was abandoned, and we didn’t know what was in the basement.”

"Okay, I understand, thank you very much." Orson said, thanked the other party, and then led Lena into the temple through the side door again.

"Hey, brother Edward, haven't we already visited the temple?" Lena asked doubtfully as she watched Edward lead her back into the temple.

"Yeah, but I have other things to do." Orson said, looking into the temple again.

The book records that Limusa used his last divine power to turn the desert into what it is now. In other words, if Limusa's divine power dissipates, the wind and sand protecting the orcs will dissipate with it.

Then, as a medium for storing Limusa's divine power, it must exist in the temple.

After getting information about the basement from the shaman, Orson took Lena back to the temple.

At this moment, Balu has finished repenting, and he will continue to go back to complete his mission of unifying the orc tribes.

In the temple, only Orson and Lena were left.

"Brother Edward, are you trying to find that basement? But the shaman has already said you can't enter..."

"Do you really believe it when he says he can't get in? Let's try, what if we can get in?"

"Okay." Lena sighed after hearing this.

The two then walked around the temple and finally found a door on a wall.

There was an ancient text engraved on it, also in ancient common language, and Orson could barely understand the meaning.

[To open this door, you need the blood of Hela’s family]

Hela dependents? Do you mean humans?

But why does the orc's holy land require human blood to open?

Orson was very puzzled, but he did as he was told. He cut his finger with a dagger, and then smeared the blood on the door. [Huan;:Welcome "in"! Enter【,!night;attack";'s":month:fei.'qun;:]:.6;9.4:9.,3:""6!,1:3" ;5."

But the door didn't move at all.

Lena looked at Orson's behavior and suddenly felt a little strange.

"Brother Edward, you don't think that you can open the door by smearing blood on it like the plot in an adventure story, do you? Phew, brother who seems to be super reliable actually...

There is also a day when I miss something. "Lena said this and smiled.

"But it says that it needs the blood of Hela's relatives to be applied on it." Upon hearing this, Orson shrugged helplessly.

"Family of Hela? Who is Hela?" Lena asked curiously.

"It's the goddess of life that humans believe in." Just when Orson finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something.

He quickly cut open his finger that had just stopped bleeding, and then painted a symbol on the door with blood.

This symbol is the symbol of the human church, an upright cross, representing the believers of the Goddess of Life.

Then, sure enough, as Orson finished drawing the pattern, the pattern of blood began to glow.

Afterwards, with a creaking sound, the door to the basement opened.

"Uh..." Lena looked at Orson with a strange expression.

"Brother Edward, I actually guessed it for you?"

"I'll tell you, how do you know if it works if you don't try it?" Orson said, smiled, and then walked into the basement.

"Wait for me, big brother!" Lena hurriedly followed.

Shortly after the two entered the basement, a dark shadow appeared in the temple, looking at the open door of the basement with a thoughtful expression.

Orson and Lena walked down the dim steps, and then they came to the basement of the temple.

Rather than a basement, it is better to say that this is a huge underground maze.

As Orson and Lena's steps completely stepped on the floor of the underground maze, the walls were ignited with flames again.

"Wow, big brother, why do I feel that this place is a bit... a bit gloomy." Lena said this, getting closer to Orson.

"If you feel scared, Lena, you go up and wait for me first."

"No." Lena heard this and shook her head. "I want to follow my big brother. If he gets into danger, I can stay here and take the blame!"

"Pfft." Orson was a little amused when he heard Lena's words.

"When did I ask you to take the blame for me? I'm not that crazy."

"Oh, what if there is a mechanism that requires two people to complete, right..."

"Okay, okay." Hearing this, Orson nodded helplessly.

To be honest, after coming to this huge underground maze, Orson was still a little unsure.

He didn't know the information about the underground maze in advance, and even the information about the temple was confirmed by Arati when he entered the desert. Orson didn't know what would happen here and whether there was any danger.

He could only take it one step at a time.

To be honest, Orson didn't like this kind of uncertain thing.

If he was not careful, he might put himself in danger.
