Chapter 532 Cooperative Research (Part 1)(1/2)
At night, the Queen Mother's motorcade stopped at the guard post on the roadside. On both sides of the road were the royal family's forest hunting grounds. The silver moonlight illuminated the trees and cast dark shadows, making the entire forest shadowy and difficult to fathom.
Marquis Gron led Victor and Caligula through the deep woods. Along the way, the howling of wolves and the chirping of insects were intertwined. The night in the forest seemed to be the same, but Victor discovered many lurking secret whistles.
Ligula followed him and looked around. Wherever his eyes stayed were the hiding places of the secret whistle, and kept muttering in his mouth:
"Master, there are people over there, and over here... There are people over there, over there, and over here looking at us."
Marquis Gron stopped, looked back at Caligula, who was like a giant, and said to Victor: "You really don't need to take Aka with you. I believe he is loyal to you, but I don't believe he can
Keep it a secret."
The corners of Victor's mouth turned up, forming a meaningful smile, and he said lightly: "Aka is a miracle. Maybe someone is willing to meet him."
After hearing his master call himself a miracle, Aka immediately straightened up his waist, which was thicker than a bucket, with a triumphant smirk on his face.
Marquis Gron was slightly surprised, thought for two seconds, nodded, stopped talking, and continued to lead the way. Not long after, the three of them came to an open area and saw a ranger hut with more than a dozen people standing outside the hut.
Among them are two acquaintances of Victor, one is the deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the deputy head of the Knights of Glory, and the Grand Knight Earl Foster, and the other is the secret knight Kang who accompanied Victor to Naville.
Ladd.
Earl Foster led more than a dozen guards to greet him, and took the initiative to salute and said: "Welcome His Royal Highness Randall to return to the Kingdom of Gambis."
Victor returned the knight's salute, took off the two fine gold swords, handed them to Earl Foster, nodded and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I have lived in Kite Castle since I was a child. Thank you for taking care of me. Thank you for taking care of me."
Arrange a separate room and dedicated guards."
"Your Highness is a naturally wise man. You should understand that none of this is accidental." Foster smiled slightly, put away Victor's sword, raised his hand and said, "Please, the chief is waiting for you."
Victor first nodded to the secret knight Conrad, and then said to Caligula: "Aka, follow Mr. Conrad and stay outside."
Caligula watched longingly as his master and Marquis Gron walked into the wooden house. His chest suddenly collapsed, and he forced out a flattering smile towards Conrad, the man he was most familiar with. The secret knight laughed and patted the card.
Ligula raised his elbow and said: "Aka, let's stand far away and don't eavesdrop on His Highness's conversation."
The furnishings of the ranger's hut are simple. In the middle is a long log table with bark. Two thin wooden boards are hung on each of the three walls. When laid flat, it can be used as a chair or a bed. Four lamps
The exquisite palace crystal candlelight shines brightly on the table, and its soft and stable light illuminates an old man beside the table.
His white hair is sparse, his face is full of wrinkles, his eyes are cloudy, and there are several scars the size of copper coins on his saggy face. The corners of his eyes and mouth are severely drooped. Even the gorgeous baron dress cannot hide the aura of aging and decay, but his hands
, the fingers are slender and the skin is firm and shiny, just like the hands of a young man.
The old man raised his head and greeted with a smile: "Victor, we meet again."
Victor saw the old man's kind smile and his bare gums, and the image of a wizard came to mind. He hesitated for a moment, sat down opposite him, and asked: "Your Excellency, Baron Jermyn, the last time we met was
At the Blue Amber Hotel in Blinol City, you were a master sculptor honored by the court at that time. So what is your identity this time?"
The old man looked at Victor's dark golden eyes, his smile showed a sense of satisfaction, and he said kindly: "Don't be nervous, son. From the time you were born to the time you left the Kite Castle, we have met every year, but you don't know...
...You were in a deep sleep."
Gronn sat down next to the old man, put his hands on the table, and said: "Victor, let me introduce to you, this person is the family retainer conferred by the late King Bonellat, the chief of the Faceless Men, and the envoy.
Your Excellency Buddha Augustus."
Victor took a deep breath and sighed with emotion: "This is unimaginable grace."
The principle of surnames given by lords, regardless of bloodline, is based on merit, like Nelson, and favor, like Caligula. In order to attract outstanding talents from all over the country, the royal family has the right to set up a commendatory surname. Gombis
The commended surname is Jieming, but the commended surname is not labeled with the lord's family.
Giving a surname by favor is not unusual, but giving a family surname to a wizard is extremely rare.
The great lord supports wizards, and the church always turns a blind eye. Once discovered, the lord only needs to hand over the wizard and declare that he has been deceived, and the church will generally not pursue it to the end. But if the lord favors a wizard and gives him the surname, it is equivalent to putting the church at risk.
Forced into a corner, no room for maneuver was lost.
Victor doted on Bertina and originally wanted to give her a surname to win over the wizard Imerson, but when he realized that Bell might also be a wizard, he immediately gave up the idea for fear of getting burned and causing big trouble.
He didn't even know how to describe Roland's grandfather. For this kind of thing, if the Inquisition throws out a few lies-detection spells, Bonerat will not be able to rely on them even if he wants to, and he will definitely be imprisoned in the dark prison of the Inquisition.
There is no support from the Divine Knight behind Bonerat.
Toffov suddenly shed tears and sighed: "Yes... unimaginable grace... I was just a weak little wizard at the time... That guy Bonerat is particularly unreliable, haha, Augustus
It's the same with Tedu, they may not be good kings, but they must be the best lords."
"Sorry, as I get older, I will always remember the past." Toffov wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled and said: "I followed the will of the late King Bonerat to form the Faceless Men, and I have served as the chief of the Faceless Men until now... Rand
Your Highness, in a sense, you are also a member of the Faceless Ones. Of course, your will is free and not subject to any restrictions by the Faceless Ones."
Victor followed his words and said: "I know nothing about this. If the chief thinks that I am also a member of the Faceless Men, can you tell me about your past?"
Toffov was surprised at first, then looked at Victor with interest, and said with a smile: "Victor, you are not in a hurry to understand your own affairs, but are you willing to listen to this old guy like me?"
Victor shrugged his shoulders and said: "I have a general guess about my own affairs, and the rest is just confirmation, but there are not many opportunities to communicate face-to-face with the same God's Chosen One."
"It's a wizard, not a chosen one."
Toffov corrected Victor's statement and nodded: "You are indeed a born wise man. It was my fault that I failed to notice your wisdom and talent at the beginning... Since His Highness wants to know my story, I am happy to tell you
Let me listen to you."
The old wizard began to talk about his own experience, and Marquis Gronn would narrate it for him. Victor occasionally asked questions, and the three of them talked like this until midnight.
Victor understood the ins and outs of the matter, but the biggest gain was that he gained an understanding of Tolfov's witchcraft talent, growth experience, temperament, and values, and was able to formulate subsequent negotiation strategies based on this.
Toffwin is loyal to the August family and is a typical family warrior, but he has abilities and wisdom beyond ordinary warriors. In addition to supporting August wholeheartedly, his main pleasure is studying pharmacy.
The wizards of the August family are obsessed with bloodline and pharmacy research, and want to understand the mysteries of the world through this method, and have achieved considerable results.
Victor pondered for a moment and said: "My father's cook is an agent of the Faceless Men. If you give me medicine through him, then my younger brothers and sisters are also your test subjects?"
Toffov shook his head and said: "Do you know how much resources the Faceless Men have invested in you? I just want to continue to cultivate nobles of the moon elf bloodline, but I don't have that many rare medicinal materials."
Victor had a straight face and said coldly: "You killed my mother, and you carry countless innocent souls on your body."
"Death-row prisoners, betrayers, spies, I always use them for drug testing first, and then ordinary people and nobles take their turn." Toffovin said slowly: "I am the king's retinue and the advocate of order.
I have done everything I can, even if an innocent person dies because of me, I will not feel ashamed... If you want to gain power, you have to pay a price, that's all."
Victor nodded, smiled and said: "Advocates of order... very good, we have the position to continue the discussion."
Toffovin and Marquis Gron looked at each other, and Marquis Gron asked: "Victor, can you let Master Toffover hold your hand?"
Victor suddenly felt embarrassed. There was a rune crystal hidden in his body, and it would be bad if Torfoven sensed it. He thought for a while, raised his head and said, "Can you use my blood?"
Tuofu Wen chuckled and said, "It couldn't be better."
Marquis Gronn threw over a fine gold dagger, Victor pricked his finger with it, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dropped it into the palm of Tolfvin's hand.
The old wizard closed his eyes, felt it carefully for a long time, and murmured: "Strange? Does the sun elf still have this form?"
Victor blinked and asked, "How is it? Is there something wrong with my bloodline?"
Toffov opened his dim old eyes and said with a smile: "Victor, it seems that I have to erect a new statue of you... Your bloodline is golden bloodline, there is no doubt about it, and you will also have blond hair and golden eyes in the future, but,
Your human blood has completely disappeared..."
At this time, Marquis Gron felt nervous, frowned and asked: "Is there any impact?"
Toffovin shook his head and said: "The last time I tested Victor's bloodline, I saw that he has the ultimate bloodline, blond hair and golden eyes, two meters tall, slender ears, and affinity to the three elements of fire, wind, and water.
With a life span of over 450 years, he is completely like a sun elf. But this time, his height and ears will not change. He has affinity with the four elements of earth, fire, wind and water, especially the affinity with the wind element is one higher than before.
times, but the void fire element can no longer be mobilized...the ultimate lifespan is only 200 years old."
"Logically speaking, the human bloodline should nurture the sun elf bloodline until it is completely stable... Why did the human bloodline disappear?"
The old wizard was lost in thought, but Marquis Gron interrupted his thoughts and asked: "Can Sylvia and Victor have a child?"
Toffov woke up with a start and said in embarrassment: "I'm not sure... I'm not sure. This matter is very troublesome." He raised his head and said to Victor: "Your Highness, your human bloodline has disappeared, which means that
, whether your bloodline reaches its peak or degrades, you can only give birth to an heir with the Golden Female Knight, because your current bloodline is the starting point, and if it degrades, it will still be a golden bloodline. And I can help you and the Silver Female Knight have children."
Victor asked calmly: "What conditions?"
Marquis Goron rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Male golden knights can give birth to up to four children, while female knights of the golden level can only give birth to one child. But Queen Basileus gave birth to a pair of twins at one time, which can be explained.
, the Spiritual Knight's control over himself exceeds that of the Golden Knight. Veronica's height was originally only 1.78 meters. After she married Draven, within a month, she grew to 1.98 meters, and Draven's golden female knight lover wanted to use
It takes several years to adjust the height. Hasn't Sylvia also become younger? We think that Sylvia can also give birth to a set of twins with you, as long as she wants."
"The royal family of the Tieshan Empire can continue to this day because of the blood of the divine knights. However, in the late period of the Tieshan Empire, the four descendants fought overtly and secretly for the blood of the royal family and attacked each other, which led to the intensification of internal strife in the empire. This was the collapse of Tieshan
The fundamental reason. Gombis cannot repeat the same mistakes. We hope that the royal family and descendants of Gombis will exchange blood and jointly maintain the stability of the empire. This requires Sylvia to hand over a child, otherwise the political structure of the royal family and descendants will be
There is an imbalance. When the bloodlines of both sides are skewed, the empire will split. I think His Highness Randall doesn’t want to see his descendants killing each other, right?"
Victor was stunned when he heard this. He was stunned for a long time and shouted: "You haven't reached an agreement with Sylvia on such a big matter yet?"
"We talked, but she didn't make a clear statement." Goron shook his head with a heavy expression and said, "We firmly believe that you can make her make a promise. However, we did not expect that your sun elf bloodline would mutate."
Victor then thought about it and muttered: "If Sylvia and I don't have a child, there will be no problem. If we have a child, you want me to let Sylvia give a child to Kite Castle to maintain the royal family.
The balance between bloodline and descendant bloodline?”
"That's right." Marquis Gron admitted.
"Okay." Victor said, "I can tell you clearly that Sylvia and I will definitely have a child."
The old wizard asked with a smile: "Why are you so sure, Your Highness?"
