The little lion completely forgot about tracking and blood descendants. "Teach me," she pleaded. "I prefer Windrunner to any other profession."
"This is exactly my purpose, child." Anchuan stood up, and the orange fire suddenly enlarged his shadow. "You can't rely on claws and teeth to deal with the mysterious ones, and you will undoubtedly encounter them in what you are going to do. I know you must have a mentor in the tower, and the knowledge and mystery are far beyond my reach... But he is now I am far away and cannot protect you. Miss Roma, if you are willing, I will teach you archery."
…
After learning the news that the celebration would be held, Black Moon Castle was filled with joy. Delphine drank the warm milk from the cup and fell backwards on the cushion. She faced the greenhouse garden, where all kinds of wonderful flowers were in bloom. An actor was directing monkeys to do somersaults in the middle of the yard, while snowflakes were falling outside the foggy glass. She was in the same cheerful mood as the servants.
However, some people are exceptions. "It's time for you to go see General Manager Jais, Lord Earl. He has been waiting all afternoon." The maid Ansa reminded her.
"Consultant Jais?"
"He is in charge of the finances of Venevoise. If a caravan wants to sell things here, it must obtain his approval."
Delphine raised his body slightly. "What is he looking for me for...wait, how long do you think he has been waiting?"
"A whole afternoon, my lord, five hours."
one afternoon. "Then he drank tea for five hours?" the count asked with interest.
"I'm afraid so," Ansa replied obediently. There was a reason why Tracy asked her instead of Nina to accompany me to the Ice Territory. No matter what kind of questions Danfion asked, Ansa could almost answer them. "He looked anxious."
I can also fake anxiety. "If he wants to make suggestions about holding the Snowflake Festival, I will gladly accept it." If he has any objections, that's a different matter.
"No, sir. I think he is asking you about the rerouting of the Eternal Blue Vein."
The Evergreen Vein was originally the lifeline for the Ice Territory to survive the extremely dark night. Every year, thousands of people relied on it to transport supplies. The kingdom even plans to build a bus line across different cities - the dwarves call it a railway - to save the Ice Territory. As a result, after sixty years of railway construction, only abandoned tracks were left, and the mysterious place that had been blocked in the Four-leaf Forest for more than a thousand years was opened by a group of mercenaries in the blink of an eye.
If Captain Calder hadn't revealed the truth to her, Danlfion would have found this unbelievable. She wanted to blame Uriel for not mentioning a word to her, and she didn't even know about the arrival of the broken moon. This guy had no idea what his adventure had brought to the Ice Territory, she decided. I've never seen such an idiot. The Knox mercenary group still knew how to get some benefits from it, but he left and followed Chloe's envoy to the City of Floating Clouds thousands of miles above the sky. Could it be that he doesn't like it here? same as me?
After the arrival of the Broken Moon God, Veniworth quickly recovered its strength with the help of prosperous trade. Delphine had to deal with countless related issues every day, and had to endure Duke Tracy's insinuations about various matters in the Tower and the Glorious Parliament. She didn't understand why her mother was so interested in these things. The reason is obvious: the problems that plague mortals are no big deal in Croita's eyes. The destruction of the Kingdom Train was due to the fact that the Angmar Tunnel leads directly to Kamaria, and now the person in charge finally has an excuse to escape blame. The disappearance of the Valley of Sleep was due to Bai Zhishi meddling in his own business. The gap between the two is so huge that Danlfion has no intention of making up for it! Hopefully Duke Wiggins understands this.
The shortcuts in the Four-leaf Forest have been brought to people's eyes. Is there anyone who doesn't know how to use them? "Ask him to discuss it with my cousin Sir Neden. If the lord has to worry about such trivial matters as the increase in the price of sesame oil, what's the use of having officials like him?" Danlfien waved his hand impatiently. "Of course, I guess he will probably continue to wait. Let him wait. Since our Lord Financial Controller can spare an afternoon for tea, it's not a big deal to wait another night."
While the maid went to reply to Jaais, Danlfion climbed up from the mat. She poured herself some wine - Ansa had forbidden her to drink too much, but she wasn't here now. She opened the book while tasting the wine, and the magician who lost attention silently exited the door. The cool breeze blew across the carpet, and Danlfien shrank his shoulders.
Whether it was the Pulse of Eternal Blue or the Descendance of the Broken Moon God, she found that she was actually involved in it. The adventurer's brief time is like a dream that often appears at night. After the Lancaster castle was restored, she gave it a new name to commemorate the mysterious incident that affected all of Venevoise.
The cold wind shook the glass with snowflakes, making a rattling sound. Delphine couldn't help but step off the rocking chair and stand barefoot on the soft carpet. Wool is cold and pure as snow. And my snowflake festival is about to be held on this frozen land. The rerouting of the Evergreen Vein provided people with the material conditions to hold a grand ceremony, but the real cause came from Duke Tracy's news: Fife Tanner's fog elf envoy was about to arrive in Wynnworth.
They came for Kamaria. In recent days, Dandelfien has seen countless adventurers who want to find ruins in the city. The fog elves are just one of them, but they are the most difficult to deal with. Her mother sent a letter early, telling her to greet them carefully. People in the city were rushing back and forth, busy for the celebration. Mysterious creatures from all over the world came upon hearing the news, and there were three times more adventurers in the city than before. The patrol knights complained endlessly every day and were exhausted from their work. Sir Nedon told her that the cavalry captain of the Public Security Bureau complained to him about the disadvantages of the Evergreen Veins, and his words were unkind: half of the large influx of caravans and mercenary groups were thieves and murderers with dirty hands and feet. commit. After the prices of spices and food dropped, hemp rope and firewood became new scarce resources.
Fortunately, the security in the city can barely be maintained, and the Silver Eagle Knights who were transferred back from the original road brought sufficient guards to Veniworth. Delphine does not need to care about trivial matters, but no one can take over the job of receiving the envoys. She must manage her expression to deal with the Earl of Red Valley who has a full stomach. Legend has it that Earl Ellanor once caused Croita to lose face. Danlfion suspected that this was just a rumor, but the rumor may not have its source. Looks like I have to be careful with her. This thought made her more and more annoyed. The warmth of the greenhouse and the bright fireplace seemed to pale in comparison to the few short hours we had left the castle. The wind outside the castle howls, and I am their lord...
At the end of the day, I don't have anything to worry about except the stuff at the Snowflake Celebration. What about the Earl of Red Valley? She steeled herself. I have seen the Holy Knights of the Council of Light, dealt with the patrolling messengers of Croita; I survived the undead plague in the Clover Territory, and even fought against the ancient water goblins of Alanvor and drove them from my city. I have met your ancestors. Come on, I have nothing to be afraid of!
Danlfion put on his cloak, fox down wrapped around his shoulders. She left the conservatory and garden and went to her study, where every attendant and servant paid her sincere tributes. To them, I was indeed "Berti's Norn." But not many people know that Berti is actually the moon in the sky, and it almost swallowed up the entire city not long ago.
On the table lay letters home from Tracy, none of which mentioned politics. Delphine first saw her mother's caution when, after reading the pansy letter, she almost didn't remember what was said in it. Fortunately, Ansha read the content of the letter to her at that time, so Danlfien did not miss the key parts. She suspected that her mother's decision to let Ansha follow her to the Ice Territory might not be based on such considerations.
Duke Tracey had given little instruction to Delphine, so she had to rely on Ser Neddon for the conduct of her lands and affairs. This man is the acting patriarch of the Lancaster family and is very capable in his work. He is already old and has no children. His only wish is that the family can continue. Since the Revolution of the Broken Sword, the former Earl Fenian Lancoste was hanged in Iron Claw City, and the royal lord Tracy Wiggins married his brother Alfonso Lancoste to serve as the queen and Iraq. Prince Stir received the support of the Ice Eagle Legion. However, although the Southern Kingdom was pacified, the Ice Territory lost its lord. Alfonso didn't even get a chance to return to Venevoise before he died of illness. Sir Neden has been managing the Ice Territory for a long time, and his ability and experience are unquestionable.
But because of this, Ansa was worried that her lord was not worthy of her name, so she was cautious about what she said all day long. Dandelphine hated her shrinking and didn't understand what she had to fear. Wineworth is mine, and there is no suspense about the title of earl even before Gavin's death. Only I can bring peace to the Ice Tie... Berti's Norn...
But this is just a lie. Dandelphin sat behind his desk, staring out the window at the boundless white snow. The gods are long gone, and their angels will not remain. Everyone in Venice knows that everything I have comes from luck, but luck itself is not reliable. Tracy wants me to succeed the Lancasters, their castles and fiefdoms, for the pacification of the South and the legions of the snow. Could it be that she really thought I could do it?
If Gavin lived. This idea suddenly came to Delphine. Had Gavin lived, he would have done better than me.
Thinking of her brother, she couldn't help but tremble. I was holding a snowflake celebration for you, she really wanted to tell him. I want to go home, I want to see autumn flowers and clear fountains. No, what I want is freedom. Ride across the fields in search of treasures and sung mysteries. Since you long for this land that is always shrouded in natural disasters, I would rather it belonged to you from the beginning. It’s impossible. Gavin fell from his mother's bedroom and was killed instantly on an iron spike.
"But it's not up to me." She whispered to Bai Xue. "We have no choice." Gavin understood from the beginning that it was not the Venetians who prevented him from becoming the Lord of the Ice Land, but his mother Tracy Wiggins. Gavin is a sibling of the same mother as Dandelphine, and is a descendant of the Lancaster family. But my mother taught Fritz and Gavin, but never me.
The count rang the bell and called the maid. "Get me Hope Ockham," she ordered. The Snowflake Festival is coming soon, and she doesn't want to think about Gavin and Tracy anymore. "Wait. First tell me what he has been doing recently?"
"Doctor Hope is seeing patients," the maid replied, and was surprised as to why she asked.
see a doctor? Anyone who thinks this guy can heal people's pain is probably hopelessly ill. "Who asked him to go?"
"Well, no one, my lord. He wanted to find something to do."
"Hmph! Why doesn't he go to the patrol?" I think it is more difficult for him to show off than to play the bagpipe. "A bunch of idiots. Who are his patients?"
"There are only two Silver Eagle Knights, my lord. They were injured on the way back to Venevoise and have now recovered."
Dandelphin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Silver Eagle Knights are basically half-mysterious creatures in their apprenticeship, and their bodies are much stronger than ordinary people. If Hope had a little control over her magic, she wouldn't have caused any casualties.
Soon the dentist was summoned. "My lord, are you looking for me? Are you feeling unwell?"
"What are you pretending to be? Do you want to murder the lord?"
The guy quickly shook his head. "I'm just afraid of being discovered by the church. And even if I don't use magic, I still know some medical skills."
No one values your medical skills. "I asked you to come with a mission for you, Hope Ockham. Have you met any of your kind in the city lately?"
"Ah? Similar...you mean...the nameless ones?"
"Do you think I mean the dentist?" Danfion said impatiently, "Answer honestly and don't stutter for me."
Cold sweat broke out on Hope's forehead. "But... Your Excellency, the Unnamed Ones are very... you know, I can't avoid them in Veniawaz!" He panicked and looked around suspiciously, as if there was a whole team of demon hunters hidden in the study. of. "I'm just an unlucky devil. I didn't join any association, and I didn't meet any other devils. Really. Lord Earl, I am innocent!"
"I know." It was difficult to talk to him. "You haven't met anyone, doesn't it mean that demons can tell demons apart?"
"Sir," the dentist begged, "please don't talk about demons here? If someone overhears-"
"If someone heard me, I would pull out his tongue and make him unable to speak out. What are you afraid of? This is my castle. Black Moon Castle is safer than a candy store." Danlfion urged, "Speak quickly. Otherwise, I’ll be the first to pull out yours.”
Hope looked around the study room nervously, and then hesitantly said for a while: "In fact, we will only be discovered when we use demonic power. Otherwise, the demon hunters would have used the captured nameless people to kill us all."
It makes sense. Delphine barely gave him a pass, but the answer disappointed her. "I thought you could sense each other's existence through the gates of hell." This is what the scriptures say, but the reality is obviously different. "Has the Public Security Bureau arrested any unknown persons recently?"
"Three people are dead." The dentist answered her uneasily. "The priest tied them up and burned them alive. Not even the bones were left. Why do you ask this, my lord?"
"I want you to create a secret society just to serve me."
