The moment he saw the golden ears of wheat, Vega, who was on Victor's shoulder, stopped because he felt a familiar aura.
A single eye stared straight at the golden ears of wheat.
"Victor, this is a good thing."
The sound of a crow came to his ears, but Victor remained calm.
Seeing Victor's dull expression, Count Lauryn held the golden ears of wheat and said with a smile.
"Please rest assured, Senator Victor."
"This is absolutely authentic."
They are not the fakes hanging in the fields outside, nor are they the divine creations made by believers that can only be used for one year.
But a true divine thing.
As long as it is there, the farms in the territory can be guaranteed to be rich every year.
Seeing this, Victor said calmly:
"Count Lauryn."
"What do you mean?"
After hearing Victor's words, Count Lauryn placed the ears of wheat on the table.
Then, as if he was relieved, he spoke to Victor.
"Because I allowed the followers of the Goddess of Fertility to stay in the territory and spread the teachings of the Goddess of Fertility."
"This pitifully small group of believers gave me the last artifact said to be left by the goddess."
Although the kingdom does not prevent the spread of church and divine beliefs, ordinary lords will not allow these believers to settle in their territories.
After all, doing so will largely weaken the territory's dominance.
Everyone has gone to believe in gods, who will care about a lord?
Earl Lauryn was one of the few lords who allowed the church to settle in and spread its teachings.
As he said, these believers are too pitiful.
The entire church of the Goddess of Fertility has barely two thousand believers.
They even rely on selling the divine creations left behind by their goddess to maintain the life of the church.
If this continues, when this group of people all end their lives, I am afraid that the teachings of the Goddess of Abundance will be completely forgotten in the world.
Victor is also very clear about this.
Because the gods disappeared one after another, only the last goddess of justice remained in the world.
At that time, most believers believed that their god had abandoned them.
So more people ran to believe in the Goddess of Justice.
Only a few people still cling to their godly sect that has ceased to exist in name only.
Although in the end, even the goddess of justice was disappointed with humans and chose to leave.
But the Church of the Goddess of Justice is the only one, and it has given birth to countless paranoid believers.
Compared with the believers of the Goddess of Justice, the believers of other gods, even if combined, are not even one-tenth of the number of believers of the Goddess of Justice.
At this time, Count Lauryn bowed deeply to Victor.
"It is my only chance to wait until you and His Highness Aurelion come to the Kingdom of Cantor together."
"I know that the Council of Mages is competing with the Church of Justice for the legitimacy of the gods, so you may need this."
"I just want to ask you to help me."
With the morals of the Council of Mages.
Victor's face remained calm, but the next second, his eyes fell on the ears of wheat.
The magic power overflowed and entangled the golden ears of wheat.
The next second, the wheat ears seemed to be crushed and wrapped by magic power, turned into golden starlight, and gradually disappeared.
Seeing the ears of wheat disappearing out of thin air, Count Lauryn breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that Victor accepted the gift.
And this means that Victor agreed to his request.
Sure enough, after a while, Victor raised his head and looked at Count Lauryn again.
"I can think about it, but I want you to tell me."
"Since Prixis has become a revenant, why don't you let Prixis meet her mother?"
"because……"
Before Lauryn finished speaking, he was interrupted by Victor:
"Tell the truth."
Victor's eyes as bright as obsidian shone with a deep light, as if he had already seen through everything:
"In my eyes, you can't lie."
Count Lauryn stared silently for a moment, took a deep breath, and finally spoke:
"I……"
…
In the early morning of the next day, the dawn gradually turned red, shining on the wide avenues of the Kingdom of Canter and the carriages driving along them. In the morning, Aurelion woke up with Gwen.
I don’t know what happened, but I fell asleep directly on Teacher Gwen’s bed last night.
She recalled last night, when she was waiting for Teacher Victor to come back in Victor's room.
As a result, Aurelion sat on the bed, waiting and waiting until she fell asleep.
So, she slept with Teacher Gwen one night.
Although when she woke up, Teacher Gwen had no reaction.
But Aurelion felt a little embarrassed.
Apart from the embarrassment, there was also a sense of relief.
After all, sleeping with Ms. Gwen means she doesn't have to worry about the mansion being haunted.
and……
The thought gave Aurelion a feeling of enjoyment.
She still remembered that Teacher Gwen had a sweet smell on her body.
It's like a body fragrance that naturally overflows, as fragrant as a white rose.
No wonder so many people like her.
But she had to say sorry to Vanilla.
When this poor little kitten got up in the morning, she thought she had been taken away by a dead spirit and was so scared that she couldn't even move.
When the convoy met in the morning, even my eyes were a little red and swollen.
So Aurelion comforted her for a while.
After a night's sleep, Aurelion regained some energy.
After discussing today's arrangements with Count Lauryn, they will go to visit the king of the Kingdom of Cantor today.
When she came back, she saw Victor beside the carriage, holding a golden ear of wheat in his hand and playing with it casually.
Aurelion couldn't help but get closer and asked curiously:
"Teacher, is that a gift from Count Lauryn?"
Victor nodded, the indifference on his face remained as usual.
"Well, that's right."
He put the wheat ears on his shoulders and handed them to Vega.
The crow took the golden ear of wheat with its beak and held it in its beak.
Then, Victor turned his head and looked at Aurelion:
"Are you still scared now?"
Hearing this, Aurelion's body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but think of Prixis yesterday.
Although I learned from Teacher Victor about the tragic experience of Earl Lauryn and why Prixis existed in this mansion as a revenant.
But she still felt uncomfortable with the undead.
She's really not good at dealing with such inanimate things.
"Is it."
Victor said one sentence and then said no more.
Lord Lauryn would not be sharing the carriage with them today.
Because he needs to lead the way.
The motorcade gradually moved forward as the sun rose.
The carriage drove past on the cobblestone road, the wheels made a crisp sound accompanied by the horses' hooves, and the bells also rang in the carriage.
The sun stayed in the sky for a long time, but under the urging of the starry night sky, it still set towards the Western Mountain.
Until night falls quietly.
.......
The royal city of Mitao.
That is the royal city of the Kingdom of Cantor.
It is like a sharp iron arm. Three huge stone pillars support a huge building complex. The huge royal city is completely covered with steel.
When people step into this land, a chilling atmosphere rushes into their hearts.
Tall steel shines brightly through the windows of different shades, and huge sharp protrusions like rift valleys are scattered around the entire castle.
The three huge stone pillars rose at the same time, pushing up the huge castle.
As soon as the motorcade entered, the sound that reached everyone's ears was somewhat different.
The crisp sound of the wheels echoed into a deep and rhythmic melody.
When entering the gate of the royal city, countless soldiers wearing heavy armor had been waiting for a long time.
They were as resolute as stone, with smoke in their mouths, wearing black iron armor, and walking heavily, leading the convoy deep into the castle.
Even passers-by stopped to watch the queue led by the luxurious motorcade when they saw the carriage.
Surrounded by everyone's gaze, the convoy rolled through the neat stone roads and arrived in front of the dark steel castle.
On both sides of the castle, there were two rows of ministers wearing lead-colored robes, standing respectfully, waiting for the arrival of the carriage.
They all wear different numbers of star badges on their chests.
Each star represents a first-level title.
The two-star and three-star viscounts and earls stood at the end of the queue, while a few four-star marquis stood at the front of the queue, with solemn and respectful expressions.
Everyone wears various long swords on their waists, exuding the indifference of cold iron.
The carriage gradually stopped in front of the castle, the front door opened, and Count Lauryn stepped out of the carriage first.
As soon as he got off the car, he came to the carriage behind and respectfully invited the two people in the carriage to get out.
Victor, wearing a black windbreaker, got off the carriage first.
His cold temperament perfectly matched the heaviness around him.
Then, he turned around and stretched out his hand towards the car.
From inside the carriage, a jade hand was placed on Victor's hand.
With the help of Victor's strong hand, Aurelion leaned out of the carriage and stepped out of the carriage gracefully.
Later, twelve distinguished foreign ministers also came down from the carriage behind.
All the people from the empire have arrived.
As for the kingdom.
At some point, the gazes of the nobles in the surrounding queues suddenly looked towards the gate of the black castle.
I saw an old man walking out from under the black castle gate, leaning on a luxurious cane.
Along with his steady steps, the lower end of the cane touched the stone pavement, making a clear and weighty echo.
This old man looked almost the same as other nobles. Under his lead-colored robe, his slightly curved back revealed the traces of time.
However, the twinkling light in those sharp and deep eyes seemed to have the ability to detect everything, making it difficult to hide any secrets.
On his chest, the five golden star badges looked low-key but noble.
At this time, even the foreign ministers of the empire were aware of it.
There is only one wearer of five stars in the entire kingdom.
The legendary Duke of the Kingdom.
Festin Barlow
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the Grand Duke.
The noble temperament he exuded made his stooped body seem to be shrouded in a mysterious light, making him appear awe-inspiring and out of reach.
He bowed slightly to the passers-by.
Then, his eyes fell on Aurelion and Victor.
"A distinguished guest from afar."
It's so deep that it's so deep that people can't figure out what it means.
"We have been waiting for you for a long time."
