Chapter 268: Returning home in fine clothes
. The past few days living in the Snow Shirt Palace have been sweet and happy days for Duke, and he even wants to stay.
But he couldn't stay, not to mention that there was someone he wanted to see waiting for him in Heijiaohe.
He also shoulders the heavy responsibility of changing the fate of this world. The Duke's Star given by the goddess Nyx saved his life, and he must repay this kindness both emotionally and rationally.
If you want to change the world, you can only stand on the big stage of the Seven Towers Federation.
"I will come back to see you often." Duke promised Princess Tiffany.
"If you don't come to see me, I will go to the Seven Towers Federation to find you." Princess Tiffany tied her hair into a ponytail and put on a knight's costume again. A leather armor outlined her graceful figure, "Take it away My first kiss, Sage Duke!"
Duke gently kissed Princess Tiffany's forehead, and then took a step back: "Remember the route of fighting energy I taught you. You can practice "Duke's Leap" as soon as possible, and "Duke Feiyu" It takes a long time to explore. Of course, with your status, it is not difficult to obtain these two blood contract secrets of fighting spirit martial arts." "
What about my arcane mage talent?" Princess Tiffany asked.
"Just let it happen."
He couldn't say for sure about this kind of thing, not even the Arcane Master. Otherwise, the family established by the Arcane Master would have already monopolized the arcanist class.
But in fact, even those big nobles, trying their best, can only slightly improve their juniors and hope to be promoted to arcane mage. Most of the truly talented arcane mages come from the ordinary class, which can be regarded as spiritual elusiveness.
For example, among the eight 8-ring Huiyue arcane instructors in the Seven Towers Federation, only one comes from an established noble family, and the other seven all climbed up from the bottom.
Either obtain the title of nobility yourself, or comply with the policy and no longer be granted the title of nobility.
"I hope that when we meet again, I will already be an arcane mage." Princess Tiffany raised her head and looked deeply at Duke.
She is a smart person, and she knows whether she can become an arcane mage is crucial to changing her destiny.
Even though she holds the title of the third princess of the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice, she still has to follow the iron-clad rules of the arcane mage who dominates the world.
Even her father and mother, as kings and queens, are still diligently pursuing the path of spiritual arcana.
Without the power of arcane mages, how can one rule a country?
"Yes, I believe you have this talent." Waving his hand, Duke turned and walked out of the waiting hall of the flight station.
Outside, Selsus had already finished bidding farewell to the Grand Duke and his wife.
Guards of honor lined up on both sides, bidding farewell to Selsus and Duke with a grand ceremony - this is the highest level of national gift in the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice. Even if they are just passing by, the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice must treat the Bright Moon Arcane Mentor of the Seven Towers Federation with dignity. .
"Duke, are you done saying goodbye?" Celsus looked at Duke and Princess Tiffany with a smile, walking over one after another.
"Yes, I have already said goodbye." Duke saluted the Grand Duke and his wife generously, "Thank you very much to the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess, as well as Princess Tiffany for their hospitality these days. I am really sorry that I have caused you a lot of trouble."
"Where is the trouble? It is our honor for you, the most dazzling genius of the Seven Towers Federation, to come to our Grand Duchy of Broken Ice." Grand Duke Tinar smiled gently: "The
Ring of Branding you invented is really fascinating. , Sage Duke, I believe that sooner or later, you will change the direction of this world and open up a broader path for spiritual arcane magic."
As a great arcane mage, Grand Duke Tinar is very aware of the value of the Ring of Branding.
The grand duchess is also a Grand Arcana mage. She looks about thirty years old, gentle and beautiful. Her husband and wife followed her and said: "I hope you will leave a good impression in Xueshan City in the past few days." Duke glanced at Princess Tiffany and could tell
from On Princess Tiffany's face, we can see many shadows of the Grand Duke and his wife. She inherited the appearance advantages of both parents.
"I have a great time here. I have a very good impression of Snowshirt City and the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice. If I have time, I will come here often." The Grand Duchess smiled and said: "You are welcome to come at any time." The honor guard
played
. After finishing the movement, Duke followed Selsus and walked towards the "Outlooker" battleship anchored here.
When they boarded the cabin door, Duke and Selsus turned around and waved downwards.
He looked at Princess Tiffany, who was also waving gently, with a look of reluctance in her eyes.
This situation.
Duke suddenly felt something, and quickly ordered a staff member in the cabin door: "Bring me paper and pen." "
Yes, Sir Duke." The staff member hurriedly went to the cabin to find paper and pen.
Selsus asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
"Write something."
"Haha, is it for that little girl Tiffany?" Selsus stroked his beard and smiled, "My fair lady, what a gentleman. "Qiu, I support you in capturing her... I remember when I was young, I visited foreign countries and had some unforgettable happy times..."
Duke did not answer.
When the staff brought a pen and paper, he quickly took up the pen and wrote a line of poetry in Bingwen: "Gently I left, just as I came lightly; I waved gently to say goodbye to the clouds in the western sky... Quietly I left, just as quietly as I came; I waved my sleeves, not taking away a single cloud." The tip of the pen
wrote a piece of "Goodbye Cambridge" that he and Xiaoyi carefully considered and re-wrote. , vividly on the paper.
Selsus remained silent, his peripheral vision already turning to the paper.
He has lived long enough to naturally learn Bingwen, so he can understand this little poem and can't help but ponder it in his heart.
"It's quite charming. It's a good poem."
In the square of the flight station, the Grand Duke and his wife took Princess Tiffany and looked up curiously at Duke who was writing something on paper.
The Grand Duchess seemed to have something to guess. She turned her head and glanced at her little daughter with a smile.
Princess Tiffany did not notice her mother's gaze, but looked at Duke eagerly. She had a strong hunch that what Duke wrote on the paper was for herself.
soon.
Duke, who was standing at the door of the battleship, put down the pen in his hand and quickly folded a piece of paper into a small airplane.
He gently tapped Princess Tiffany with his finger, and then threw out the paper airplane.
The paper plane drew a circle in the air, and then, guided by Dou Qi, landed accurately in the hands of Princess Tiffany.
Waving his hand, Duke followed Selsus into the battleship cabin without looking back.
Woohoo!
The whistle roared, and the Overlooker battleship slowly rose and sailed toward the southwest. Under the gaze of the Grand Duke and Princess Tiffany, it left the Snowshirt City Flight Station.
Wait until the battleship gradually gets smaller.
The Grand Duke and his wife then turned and left the flight station. Grand Duke Tinard looked at Princess Tiffany curiously: "Tiffany, what did Duke write to you?"
Princess Tiffany carefully opened the paper airplane.
Then I saw the title on the paper - "Farewell Snowshirt - To Tiffany Glacier".
"It's a poem." Princess Tiffany smiled happily, feeling that the emotion of separation was diluted a lot, "He wrote me a poem." "Well, it's
really romantic." Grand Duke Tinard teased, but There seemed to be some acidic hostility in his tone.
The Grand Duchess gave her husband a scolding look, and then asked with a smile: "Tiffany, would you mind reading it so that your father and I can listen to it too?" "
Yes." Tiffany raised her eyes to look at the battleship that had disappeared into the sky, and lowered her head to read. I wrote a little poem on the paper.
"...I am willing to be a jerboa in the snow-shirted ice quilt! That group on the forest hill is not a pine cone, but the moon in the sky... It is loaded with a boat of starlight, singing in the colorful starlight... The melting ice is also silent for me, and silence is this morning's snowshirt!"
Quietly I left...
Princess Tiffany finished reading this little poem sweetly.
Grand Duke Tinard did not comment on this, and even the corners of his mouth twitched, with a flash of disdain.
The Grand Duchess smiled and sighed: "What a lucky little girl, Tiffany! Someone can write a poem for you, and it is such an excellent and romantic poem. I think if you are willing, this poem will soon become a minstrel A must-have for poets."
"Farewell Cambridge" is definitely a classic modern poem, although Duke has refilled many new words, which may have compromised its details.
But with Xiaoyi helping him read between the lines, he finally retained the overall charm.
"I, I don't know, I haven't decided yet." Princess Tiffany held the paper in her hands, with a youthful smile on her face.
"It's just a poem..." Archduke Tinard just started.
He was glared at by the Grand Duchess and stared back, so he simply rode on a spiritual horse and left the flight station first.
The Grand Duchess and her youngest daughter walked back together.
"I held several salons before, and many ladies were discussing "Romeo and Juliet". They also discussed Duke's literary attainments, and they all agreed that he could become a great writer. It's a pity that he has too few works, and he is a genius. Arcane mages may not delve into such a small path."
The Grand Duchess said with emotion: "As expected, even a small poem written casually is so beautiful and romantic." "Yes
, he is really... very dazzling. ." Princess Tiffany nodded with deep understanding.
Although the time of acquaintance was short, she was deeply intoxicated by the spiritual connection, everything happened suddenly and intensely, and she was deeply intoxicated by this period of time.
Some people live a whole life, but only live one day.
Some people live a day, but live a whole life.
"It seems that Duke left you with a deep impression." The Grand Duchess said with a smile.
"Mother, do you think there will be a follow-up story between Duke and I?" Although Princess Tiffany was asking, the answer was already given in her eyes.
Looking at her little daughter's expectant eyes, she replied in the affirmative: "Why not, as long as you think about it, the story will continue."
But when she turned around.
The Grand Duchess showed a bitter smile. There were so many stories in the world, but there were only a few that had real endings.
However, she will not break her daughter's expectations for the future. There are some stories that you will regret after experiencing them, but even if you regret them a hundred times, you will still experience them.
this is life.
...
"After you broke out of the moonlight cage, it took about a minute for me to arrive at the scene." Selsus spoke calmly.
Duke listened carefully.
"When I arrived, the Bibo was safe and sound, and your little lovers were alive and well, but they were crying." After Selsus finished speaking, he frowned, "But Miguel has already escaped, and someone interfered. The spiritual trajectory can't be found where to escape."
"Someone interfered with the spiritual trajectory?" Duke frowned deeply.
"It may be a human, or it may be the Sinking Demon... The Sinking Demon is more cunning than you think. It seems to have lost its mind, but in fact it still retains the wisdom before the fall." "If it is a human, Lord Thelsus, what
? Who will help Michael, or in other words, who will target me?" "It's
not certain yet. Speaking of which, your attack this time exposed too many problems within the federation. It's our Huiyue Arcane Masters. They also became suspicious of each other." Selsus sighed, "Some people have already doubted the Speaker."
"Sir Speaker?"
"Miguel has fallen, and the Speaker may not be far away. This time Someone has taken action to interfere with the spiritual trajectory. I have also suspected the Speaker, but no evidence has been found so far."
After a pause, Sirsas added: "Even if the Speaker takes action, it is definitely not his intention. You also know his situation. After failing to attack the 9th ring, his brain has been good and bad. I am afraid that some evil thoughts have taken advantage of him when he was confused." "I can understand, but... if this continues, wouldn't it be wrong
? Everyone is in danger." Duke frowned, "At least I don't dare to stay in the Holy City of Offa." "
Oh, this is also the tricky part of the matter. The Speaker puts it under our noses and can respond in time. , if you let him retreat, the danger will be even greater if he really falls... After all, he once broke into the 9th ring, and after falling into a fallen demon, he may not have no chance to go further." Duke said in a deep voice: "It's too dangerous
!
"Don't worry too much. The Speaker also understands his situation and never leaves our field of vision. When necessary, I believe that the Speaker would rather commit suicide than wait to fall. " "
After chatting with the Speaker, Duke suddenly asked: "Sir Sirsas, besides Mr. Speaker, who else is suspected? Give me a list and I will be careful to avoid them!
" If a snake bites you, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.
If it hadn't been for the Duke's Star given by the goddess Nyx, he would have encountered the poisonous hands of the fallen demon Miguel, so this matter is of great importance.
"Can't give it."
"Can't give it?"
"It's true that I can't give it. I'm not trying to prevaricate you. It's hard for even me to clear my suspicions about your attack, let alone other people." Selsus shook his head, "But Don't worry, the Stars Meeting has made a decision and will investigate the past of all the stars one by one to clear everyone's suspicions."
Duke sighed: "I'm very worried now, even if I don't go to the Holy City of Offa and stay in Cuihai City, It may not be safe."
"Don't worry, it's guaranteed to be safe this time." Selsus smiled, "We have made a decision. Every Huiyue Arcane Master will give you a moonlight cage, so that even if you If you encounter danger again, directly activate the multiple moonlight field protections. I believe that even if the Speaker personally takes action, it will be difficult to break it."
Then, he added: "In order to prevent someone from cheating on others, when they arrive in the Holy City of Austrian Law, we will personally confront them. Leave it to you... But you have to wait for my moonlight cage. After the last fragmentation, the new one has not been made yet." The
moonlight cage is the moonlight arcane tutor, which is condensed with its own power. Mass production is not possible and the production cycle is long.
"I understand. Thank you for your care, adults!" Duke smiled happily.
No one can have too much of this kind of good thing, and with so many moonlight cages to protect you, you will definitely be able to last for a long time if you encounter the Sinking Demon.
and.
Even if any Huiyue Arcane Master secretly hides a backdoor, there is no need to worry. After all, there are other seven moonlight cages for normal protection.
Sirsas patted Duke on the shoulder and sighed: "You are the future of the Seven Towers Federation, the future of spiritual arcana, and even the future of all mankind. No matter what, we old guys must ensure that you Absolutely safe."
Duke was moved: "Thank you for your love, adults!"
The two talked about some more topics, including the development of the Seven Towers Federation during this period. The Ring of Brand technology has been fully promoted, and the development momentum is very fierce.
"So, I'm not surprised at all that you were promoted to a third-level arcane mage." Selsus smiled.
Duke thought for a while and suddenly asked: "My lord, you don't seem to be curious about how I escaped the pursuit of the fallen demon Miguel?" "How could you not be curious
, but I won't ask." Selsus He solemnly said, "Our meeting of stars has unanimously decided not to explore your method of escaping from the Sinking Demon, and you should not tell anyone about it. Only in this way will your safety not be threatened." "Is that so? I understand
. ." Duke nodded.
He had already made an excuse, but to his surprise, he didn't even need an excuse. The Stars Council took the initiative to keep his secret secret.
Of course, this is fine, as it saves you the energy required to tell a lie.
After all, telling a lie requires countless panics to make up for it.
And facing the Arcane Master, he really didn't think that his lies could definitely deceive the Arcane Master.
"In addition, regarding the fact that you were attacked by the Sinking Demon, the Star Council has decided to block the news, so the public does not know that you have been missing for a while. I have also discussed the news of you being in trouble in the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice, and I have discussed it with Grand Duke Tinar, no. Announce to the public."
The Sinking Demon is just a legend among the people. Except for the arcane mage class, few people know that the Sinking Demon still exists.
Duke understands the Seven Towers Federation's approach to blocking information.
If even a talented arcane mage like Duke was attacked by the Sinking Demon, I'm afraid the people would be panicked.
"My lord." Duke asked, "Wherever the fallen demon Miguiel can escape, it is nothing more than the spiritual spring of High River City. Won't the Council of Stars trace it?" "Of course they trace it, but they can't find it out." Selsus shook his head
. , "The Sinking Demon is already a spiritual slave and does not have the common sense of a normal creature. It may be hiding in the belly of a fish or in the trunk of a tree. It is really impossible to find out." "So the Sinking Demon has great power
. Can it be small?" Duke thought of the fallen demon Miguel he encountered before, whose body was dozens of meters tall.
Selsus' eyes were deep: "It can be big or small, it can appear or it can hide."
...
A few days later, the battleship "The Overlooker" arrived at the Holy City of Aufa.
Duke did not appear in public, but under the leadership of Selsus, he visited several Huiyue Arcane Masters one by one, and obtained a Moonlight Cage Jade Pendant from each of them.
A total of seven.
Including the one owed by Selsus, there are eight.
"Eight layers of defense, I don't believe the Sinking Devil can break it!" Stringing the Moonlight Cage Jade Pendant on a string and hanging it on his waist, Duke's sense of security immediately doubled.
period.
Duke was also invited by the Speaker of the Standing Council of the United Supreme Tower, Andre Evening Primrose, to his Crystal Palace.
Selsus is responsible for accompanying them to prevent any accidents.
After all, the Chancellor who failed to reach the 9th Ring has become the one most likely to fall among the stars.
The banquet was very small, with only one table and less than ten people sitting at it.
This is a family dinner, and half of the people are Andre's wives and concubines - the Seven Towers Federation is strictly monogamous, but the system is a system, and the reality is reality.
"Duke, I'd like to propose a toast to you." Andre's hair and beard were all white, and he was not in a very good state of mind. "What happened to you this time was due to the negligence of our parliament." "Sir, your words are serious."
Duke Drink a glass of wine, "I'm safe and sound now, and that's the end of the matter. Please don't worry about me." "I'm
old, and my time is running out. I just hope that you young people can grow up quickly and shoulder the spiritual mysteries.
"I have been working hard.
" "It's good to work hard. You should fight while you are young. Only in this way will it be worthwhile..." As he said that, Andre's eyes suddenly became cloudy, and his hands were trembling and he could not lift them up. Wine glass.
I saw the wine glass was about to slip.
A concubine who was serving him food and drink immediately reached out to hold Andre's arm, and then took the wine glass.
Andre's second wife, who didn't know who he was, was a white-haired old lady. He immediately smoothed things over and said, "My master is a little tired. Lord Selsus, please entertain Duke. We will help him first." Go back to your room and rest."
"Sister-in-law, you can go on your own." Selsus stood up, "Duke and I have eaten and drank well, and it's time to say goodbye." "I apologize for the
poor hospitality." The old lady apologized repeatedly.
The wives and concubines helped Andre Evening Primrose to leave together, and Celsus also took Duke and left Andre's Crystal Palace.
On the way back, Selsus felt heavy.
Youyou sighed: "The road to spiritual arcana is so difficult. The ancestors of the Seven Towers Federation founded the country more than 3,000 years ago. Countless ancestors groped and reached the current height of 8 rings. Behind this, how many ancestors were lost in the process of exploration. Himself."
He looked up at the sky, and there were stars in the night sky.
Fu sighed again: "I'm afraid that soon, another star will return to the starry sky... I think back to when I was just a young man and first came to the Holy City of Offa. At that time, Lord Andre was already the Holy City of Offa. The proud son of the city..."
Hundreds of years passed by in a hurry.
Nowadays, Selsus' hair is covered with silver threads: "Corruption, Mr. Andre often talks about corruption, and this is also true. We are all corrupt people and will perish soon!" Duke listened silently
. Celsus' emotion.
But I was a little speechless in my heart.
Celsus looks very old, but he is actually very old.
However, the lifespan of an 8-ring glowing moon arcane mentor is generally around 450 years old, and Selsus is still nearly a hundred years away from dying of old age. The little baby born on the ground, trying his best to survive, may not be able to compare with him who will die later.
"Your Excellency still has a long time to lead the Seven Towers Federation to a higher glory." Duke said, "This junior still needs your protection and blessing all the way." "Haha!" Selsus likes to hear this kind of
words
. Fu Xu smiled and said: "Indeed, if I don't work hard to watch you young people grow up, how can I safely pass on the future to you!"
After one night.
On May 25, in the morning light, Duke took the battleship The Gazer in Thersus and set off in the direction of Cuihai City.
It was quiet when he came to the Holy City of Offa, and he was also quiet when he left.
After experiencing many things, he feels like he is returning home. Although the Black Dragon River is barren, it is indeed the place where he was born and raised. Although Cuihai City is immature, it has placed a lot of his efforts on it.
"I can't control the power of the Seven Towers Federation, so let's return to Cuihai City first and take control of Cuihai City!"
He is so weak that he can't even deal with the Sinking Demon. He is really not suitable to hold power in the Holy City of Arcane.
However, you can practice in advance, and Cuihai City is the best practice work.
"Well, there is Kiriya, waiting for me... Vivian, Mulali, Mulashan..." Standing at the porthole and looking at the earth, scenes of figures flashed through Duke's mind.
It has been more than six years since he traveled through time, and there are already people in this land who have formed a close bond with him.
hometown.
The earth is no longer something that can only be touched in dreams. A small piece of the wilderness called the Black Dragon River area is also his hometown.
"I'm back, and I'm back home in glory again!"
