"Selaina Nevia Dara Arundai and her youngest son Dailan".
Unlike typical aristocratic portraits, this painting depicts a young mother playing with her child on a seesaw.
And obviously, that is the scene of Madam Silena and Dai Lan getting along.
"Dai Lan looked so pretty when she smiled." Xiao Jin also said subconsciously.
"Okay, time is limited. I don't know how much time the commander can delay. It's time to start." Riott said and started casting spells again.
Then a bunch of illusions appeared in front of everyone again.
The young Dailan stood motionless beside the countess' bed. His face turned pale with fear, and with good reason, his mother's heavenly beauty was gone.
Her smile, which once radiated vitality and joy, now resembled the haggard grimace of a corpse. Only her blonde hair remained bright, sadly representing the health this young woman had only hours ago.
"Mother? Can you hear me, mother?" Dailan, who was beside the bed, kept shaking the countess's body and shouted with a crying voice.
"Xiao Dai.
.
my child.
.
How did you come? "The countess's voice became lower and lower. "Don't come closer, me.
.
This disease.
.
"
"Mother, listen to me. The Honorable Nesterin has sealed the gates. He says he will not let anyone leave the manor. If the plague spreads to larger settlements, no one will be able to stop it. He says this That's why the demons attacked us in the first place. They knew that we would find the strongest priests to treat us, and those priests would also contract the disease and die. The Fat Baron and his family wanted to escape, but three heavily armed paladins stopped them. Don't let them go. Mother, we need help. Cannabry is full of priests, wizards, and the devil knows what else. They might know how to stop this disease. We need to get there as soon as possible." Pleading, and the tiny hope, the hope that you don’t want to believe, Dai Lan said, full of stubbornness.
"us.
.
The words of the venerable Nesterin must be listened to. We are Lords of Montevi and must protect our people. If the plague.
.
Spread to Cannably.
.
Thousands of innocent people will die. "Although she is still weak, Mrs. Silena's voice is full of determination.
"I don't care about innocent people." Dai Lan's voice increased and he shouted. You could see that he clenched his fists subconsciously. “You are sick, mother, you.
.
you.
.
You are dying. You have to get them to open the gate and take you to Cannably. They won't listen to me, but you are the mistress of the manor and they cannot refuse you.
.
"
Speaking of the latter part, Dailan even felt like she was gritting her teeth.
"He is hating his own powerlessness." Xiao Jin's eyes were full of tears.
"I.
.
I can not.
.
I must.
.
Please leave, baby. Don't lose hope, you can still do it.
.
"The countess's body convulsed, and her last words were swallowed up by a long moan that rose from her throat.
Along with this, this illusion disappeared directly.
Riott rubbed his temples tiredly, his body swayed, and he leaned against the wall on one side, but his expression was difficult to read: "Now one of my many questions has been answered. The reason why no one goes to Cannabry to seek Help, because the respected Nesterin refused to let them go. He valued the safety of the city more than the lives of the believers in the manor. This must have been a difficult decision.
.
"
"I am almost certain that our respected Earl of Dailan has other opinions on this. And they are very, very strong opinions." Voljiv's face also became a little indescribable. He didn't know whether to say it was a smile or pity. Dailan.
"Who's to say now? They could have sent a paladin to Cannabry for reinforcements, assuming the holy knights were immune to the disease. Maybe Nesterin thought he might need them to keep order. Or maybe he Understand, the demons will not allow anyone to leave anyway. Or maybe the plague is so strong that it can even knock down the most righteous fighter. We will never know whether there is truth in these assumptions." Nero shook his head slightly and sighed Said in one breath.
Riot rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "I have never been in the position of the respected Nesterin, but I know the cost of difficult decisions, especially those that must be made quickly. I have no right to judge him. But we have to keep investigating. The next place I want to check is the Great Hall. That's where we found the remains of Nesterin and the demons. My guess is that he killed the demons in the fight, but we have to know for sure. .Please help me clear that area so I can study it.”
"Empty it, this is a bit troublesome." Nero scratched his head and said.
"What should I do? Do you want to ask Dante?" Jingtian looked at Nero. In the absence of Lin Yun, he naturally asked Nero.
"Indeed, this is Dailan's guy's birthday party after all. If it messes up, it won't be good for Dailan. Maybe it can be gentler." Leon said helplessly.
"Ask." Nero looked at Jingtian helplessly.
"Okay." Jingtian nodded, then turned on the detection technique, and then used the communication technique to summon Lin Yun.
At this time, Lin Yun was discussing with Dai Lan how to deal with the Royal Council.
Sure enough, just as Lin Yun thought, Dai Lan said after hearing that he was arranging things for the people in the Wang Family Council.
.
.
"I, like many nobles, have received training in diplomacy, and I actually have the title of Royal Envoy, which was passed down from the Arundai line. I have to say that before today, I had All diplomatic skills have been spent destroying Montevi's international reputation. But it's time for a change! I think preventing international scandals would be just as much fun as creating them. Who knows, maybe I'll enjoy it too ." When he said this, Lin Yun could guarantee that Dai Lan was indeed very happy.
"Huh?" After Jingtian sent the message, Lin Yun was stunned for a moment subconsciously.
"What's wrong?" Dai Lan looked at Lin Yun and asked "gently".
"Nothing? Those guys may think that this can only be regarded as a gift from me, and they want to have a fight and show off their talents." Lin Yun spread his hands and said without any psychological pressure. "But speaking of which, you really need to pay attention to your guests. Otherwise, if some strange rumors spread outside, I might want to beat you up."
"Ah, I just like your condescending tone. Okay, okay, I will deal with it." Dai Lan smiled slightly and then turned around.
.
.
. horrible.
In this way, Lin Yun and the others quickly returned to the hall.
Naturally, Lin Yun's words were also conveyed to the other two people by Jingtian.
In response, Nero expressed how he felt as if he had been sold.
.
.
"Everyone, my comrade-in-arms wants to give me a different gift, but it's a bit difficult to display it here, so please come outside and support me." Dai Lan said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, finally I saw something exciting." A nobleman said.
"In the final analysis, they are just barbarians who can't even give gifts." Another noble said disdainfully.
Anyway, Dailan walked out with these people.
"Hey, hey, hey, I didn't make it clear just now, how are you going to fight, me and you? Or me and Bao'er?" Looking at the guests going out, Nero quickly ran over to Lin Yun and asked.
"It's simple. Just let Jingtian summon some monsters. It's just a show anyway. Just delay it a little. Of course, it's best to make it bloody, and it's best to make those idiots vomit back." Lin Yun led Said with a malicious smile.
"Okay, then keep an eye on yourself, Sedum." Nero nodded with a subtle expression, and then looked at Sedum on the other side.
Jingtian also nodded slightly.
Just like that, these two guys ran out now.
On his side, Riott looked at the empty hall and began to cast spells.
Lin Yun finally had time to watch this part of the meeting, and it seemed to be the most exciting part.
I saw the child-like Dai Lan standing on the corner of the hall, looking weak, pitiful and helpless, wanting to bully, ahem.
Then in front of the young version of Dailan, two fully armed paladins stood in front of him, and then in the middle of the paladins, an old man, the same priest from before, stood in front of him.
A ripple of laughter echoed in the hall. It started out as a sweet and charming chuckle, and then turned into a rough and weird laugh, which scared Dailan so much that she shrank back into the corner.
Along with the burst of laughter, the phantom of the Litu Demon that appeared before appeared in front of everyone.
"Why do you hide from me, my dear prince? Come, let me touch you. I will give it to you.
.
"Litumo slowly approached with a smile.
There was obviously only one who looked like a thin woman.
However, the approach of the Litu Demon made the three grown men and the young Dai Lan subconsciously retreat.
The sonorous voice of the old man wearing the robe of the Iomedae Church shook the walls of the hall, as if this was the only way to suppress the fear and jealousy in his heart, "Stay away from him, devil. Let this boy go. With the successor In the name of the divine sword, if you want to touch him, you must first step over my corpse."
"How pathetic you are, old priest. Are you the guardian of this charming little prince? Well, your guarding is in vain. The disease has spread in his blood, and soon he will rot before your eyes. You simply Can't save him, and me.
.
I can at least guarantee that he will die a nice and clean death.
.
sweet. "The female demon turned her eyeless face to Dai Lan and licked her lips.
However, at this moment, a rough laugh came from the young man's throat: "Then let's see."
That was not the voice Dailan should have.
More like the sounds of other creatures.
And with this sentence, the entire illusion seemed to have been strongly disturbed, becoming blurry, and then disappeared.
