Just as Alvin's plan was in full swing, changes also occurred in the south.
During these recent days, apart from taking care of her master, Lan Yu liked to stay at the former Earl Philip's residence.
She, the princess of the World Empire, was so tired of aristocratic society that she almost lived in seclusion. Because to her, it seemed that everything related to someone was emphasizing to her that the hateful little bastard had lived here. Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel sad secretly.
Resa was busy with state affairs, so she didn't notice this about her daughter.
After Lan Yu talked with Master Fei Yue that day, she actually made up her mind to pay attention, but she just didn't know how to talk to her father.
This matter has been delayed.
Since he was stagnant, Lan Yu had no choice but to draw a wall as a prison, wandering around Alvin's room all day long, looking through the strange books he had collected. Of course, except for those in the market.
It's strange that now she is no longer afraid of seeing things and missing people? Or is it that even if you drink poison to quench your thirst, you will still enjoy it?
In the past two days, she accidentally flipped through an overseas classic on Alvin's bookshelf. The book roughly divided all substances in the world into five attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. This was a rather novel statement. However, the depth of the exploration of elemental materials is too low. From the perspective of a great magician like Lan Yu, this book seems to be written for beginners.
But the author of that book mentioned a poem in the book - Smoke locks willows in the pond. It can be said that this last sentence is a unique connection through the ages, but the reason why this sentence is so unique is that not only does the intention of this poem stand out, but more importantly, it implies the five elements, so it is difficult to continue the next sentence.
This left a deep impression on Lan Yu. She didn't believe in the idea of a perfect union, and she was underestimating the talents of all living beings. Alvin naturally didn't believe it, because this guy put three question marks next to this poem, and that contemptuous and hateful smile seemed to emerge from those three question marks.
It was as if Lan Yu could see the pride on Alvin's face, and felt annoyed in her heart, with a hint of unwillingness to admit defeat. She knew that Alvin had spoken the next sentence, after all, she had vaguely glimpsed the second line written by the guy at the footer of the page.
So she quickly closed the book, not wanting to pry into even half of Alvin's answer. She had to write something better than Alvin's, only then could she feel at ease.
However, as the author said, it is really difficult to connect the next sentence. It is necessary to use the five elements to match the five elements.
Lan Yu thought about it all night and came up with the sentence "Peach Burns Silver River Embankment".
The next day she rushed to the Earl's Mansion excitedly, just to see how the second line Alvin left there compared to her own. In fact, Lan Yu is also a quite contradictory person. If it was for convenience, she could have moved Alvin's collection of books and paintings back to the palace to play with and study, but this would not taste right. Of course, she could also live here generously. With her status, no one dared to say anything, but she was not happy.
Lan Yu turned to that page, and Alvin left two sentences, which were "Fortunate to catch the maple river in autumn" and "The maple is dense in Jincheng autumn". It seems that Alvin himself is not sure which of these two sentences is better.
Lan Yu looked at these two sentences, smiled and sighed, thinking: "After all, this little bastard is more powerful."
"My sentence is just neat. Although it also implies the four seasons, it is not rhymed after all. Tao Zhuo's words, although there are classics, are really weaker than his words 'lucky' and 'nong'. The maple is thick and the autumn in Jincheng is strong." This sentence is complete in both intention and situation, but "Xing Diao Fengjiang Qiu" is talking about the state of mind. Especially the word 'Xing', which directly breaks the format and integrates the character's mood." Lan Yu thought, "Maybe 'Fortunately fishing in the autumn of the maple river' is probably what his heart desires.

"
"But people like him are just talking about it." She knew very well who Alvin was, so she suddenly sneered at this thought.
Of course, she herself prefers the phrase "luckily fishing for Fengjiang Qiu".
But she wrote two lines on the letter paper beside her:
Smoke locks the willow in the pond, why?
Autumn in Jincheng is thick with maples, looking forward to returning home.
The word "lock" and the word "Jincheng" are very particular.
Lan Yu looked at these two lines of poetry, a blush flashed across her face. She thought that if that little bastard Alvin saw this situation, she would probably make fun of her again, and even she could guess to what he would say.
"Who... was the one who kept saying at that pillow sword meeting not to talk about useless poetry?" Lan Yu could still think of Alvin's tone.
But there is no way that someone can come back, at least not in the past few autumns.
And it’s still only summer time.
The scorching heat of summer is the most unsuitable season for falling in love. The mood of seeking coolness is always difficult to mix with the long and unbreakable warmth and passion. Of course, this is for ordinary people. For a great mage like Lan Yu, an ice barrier can easily dispel the heat in the room. It is impossible for such a great beauty to think about it while dripping with sweat.
The more Lan Yu thought about it, the more depressed she felt, so she had to open the window to let in the hot summer heat, as if this would wake her up a little.
Coincidentally, when she was leaning on the window sill, her eyes happened to glance at York Street a few streets away, where Brad Schetter was directing several guards of the Orthodox Church to move things.
There were about ten large iron boxes stamped with the seal of the Light Orthodox Church, and they were being unloaded from the carriage.
Lan Yu looked at Brad's handsome appearance and recalled that Alvin had ridiculed this man in the "Gu Shi" restaurant, and couldn't help but twitching the corners of his mouth, just like that time.
Although Alvin didn't say anything in front of Lan Yu at that time, he had the meanest eyes, and his expression made no secret of his criticism of her appearance.
But sometimes she just likes his appearance as a street scoundrel, saying that he does what he wants without any taboos. A woman like Lan Marriage is used to seeing sanctimonious people like Alvin. The ruffian nature really suits her.
Of course, it was impossible for Lan Yu to really fall in love with a rogue with no identity. Alvin just has this side. After all, the aristocratic upbringing is still there in his heart, not to mention that this guy can dance, write, paint and recite poems. This kind of contrasting taste is the biggest attraction to Lan Yu and Onian.
If Lan Yu knew that Alvin compared Brad to a "baguette," she would probably laugh to the ground.
However, at this moment, she was frowning and thinking, "What are the guards of the Guangzheng Sect moving?"
"If it were really such chores as carrying things, it wouldn't be the turn of these palace guards to do it." She wondered, "And Brad has won the trust of Pope Herod, and he has risen so quickly in the Orthodox Church that it makes Others are envious of him. What kind of work can he do that requires him to personally supervise the work? "
Lan Yu knew that there was the newly established "Shengkuang" church of the Guangzheng Church on York Street, which her father had agreed to. After all, the Guangzheng Sect also contributed a lot in the battle of the plains, so this small favor is naturally nothing. Being built in Xicheng District, where there are many nobles, is also a symbol of the recognition of the Guangzheng Church among the nobles.
But what are the contents of those heavy boxes that were moved in?
With all kinds of questions, Lan Yu decided to take a look.
But when she arrived at the door of the church
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
By then, Brad and others had disappeared. The newly built church still has some finishing work to complete and is not open to the public. The scaffolding at the door has not been removed, and there is a thick white curtain surrounding the scaffolding.
Lan Yu took out Alvin's purple-cut stone staff from his sleeve, used the staff to lift the curtains lightly, and quietly sneaked into the church.
As soon as I walked into the church, a pungent smell of paint came over me. After all, it was a newly completed building, so the paint smell was quite strong.
Lan Yu hid behind the Roman column closest to the door and peeked inside. She found that there was no one in the vast hall, which made her even more puzzled.
She thought to herself: "Where are those people just now? Those boxes are quite heavy. How come they disappeared after saying they were gone?"
As a top-notch magician, Lan Yu can naturally clearly sense the situation around her. The reality is that there is really no one in this church.
So she walked out from behind the pillar and walked quietly along the big aisle in the middle of the church to the feet of the "Holy Lord Guangzheng".
She stared at the towering statue poking up the roof beams, looking up at it carefully for a while, and couldn't help but feel terrified. There was always a sense of gloom under that solemn face, which made her shiver.
Lan Yu herself did not believe in the Guangzheng Sect. She always felt that the Guangzheng Sect and her father were just political cooperation, each getting what they needed. So even if she had any disrespectful thoughts in her heart at this time, she couldn't suppress them at all.
Looking at the posture of the "Holy Lord Guangzheng" with its palms arched and fingers intertwined, she felt it was very impressive, even though she knew that Guangzheng people usually prayed in this posture.
But she was not in the mood to think about this now. She was more concerned about where those people had gone.
But she walked around the church and looked left and right around the giant statue, but she really couldn't see any hidden door.
For her who relied on secret passages to get into Saluhi, she always subconsciously felt that there were secret passages under these buildings.
But there is none.
But it is impossible for people to disappear for no reason, and it is even less possible for things to disappear. From Alvin's bedroom, she could clearly see that the guards were moving things towards the church, so she was sure that the Orthodox people must be in the church. Even if they were not there, where were the boxes?
"There must be a secret door, but I just didn't find it." Lan Yu thought, then walked back to the feet of the giant statue of "Holy Lord Guangzheng".
At this time, she was standing directly in front of the colossus.
She looked at the strange posture of the Colossus's hands and unconsciously imitated it. But it's of no use. There is no mechanism in the world that can be opened by praying.
Looking at the space between the fingers of the colossus, an evil thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
Magic power exploded between her arched palms, and streams of green magic energy entangled between her fingers. She heard a soft drink, and the brewing magic blasted towards the space between the giant statue's hands.
Normally speaking, with the strength of Lan Yu's magic, the colossus would either be broken or collapse. Even if the material was stronger, at least the hand part would have to be blown apart beyond recognition.
Lan Yu thought, no one saw that she did it anyway, so she dared to be so bold.
But she never expected that the giant statue was unscathed, and that her magic disappeared between those palms like a stone sinking into the sea.
Just when she was surprised, the two flat floor tiles in front of the toes of "Holy Lord Guangzheng" convexed and then moved horizontally to the left and right.
A tunnel lit by candlelight appeared in front of her in the deep darkness.
