Chapter 695 Change (below)
As an ordinary person lacking talent, Shikoudi does not have a clear concept of supernatural power. However, this did not prevent her from seeing some clues from the attitudes of the people around her, especially the priests of the temples. Recently, not only have they sent a lot of gifts, but also tried every means to win them to the temple to participate in some important ceremonies.
Now even a fool can see that all the temples on the island are actively fighting for the faith of her lord’s wife. The most outrageous among them is the church of the goddess of trade and wealth. They even sent a gold sculpture weighing 500 kilograms. It is said that the bishop of the sacred coin and the spokesperson of the goddess Saranda Orim personally issued an order.
It seems that overnight, all the temples have received orders from the gods, and they have shown a thousand percent of their enthusiasm. Even the always solemn and old-fashioned Helm temple has given out a pair of female armor blessed with blessings. Gifts, other temples can be imagined.
Of course, this armor had little effect on Shikoudi. She has done a series of tests a long time ago, and the results show that regardless of physical fitness, intelligence level, pedigree, understanding ability, etc., they are basically maintained at a medium-to-average level, which is far from enough to become a professional, unless Being able to put aside everything and concentrate on some martial arts training, so that maybe after a few years, he can barely become a fighter or a thief.
Obviously, this is really a bit difficult for a woman who is pampered and has never really suffered. What’s more, she has to manage a lot of business and accounts, how can she let it go, so she grows with age. When I was young, the desire for adventure began to gradually become cold. After the two children were born, this thought was gone.
But the recent abnormal behavior of the temple made Shikoudi feel. My husband must have done something earth-shattering recently. Although his son has been tight-lipped, he can tell at a glance as a mother.
Looking at Tyrantir’s kind face, she asked tentatively: “Master, what do you think Henry is going to do this time to mobilize the power of the army and the wizard tower on a large scale?”
The old mage smiled slightly and replied: “This is an obvious thing. War, only a real large-scale war, he needs so many manpower. But don’t worry, I believe that since he can take Ai from the hands of the dark elf Lun will come out. That will definitely win the final victory.”
“My God! It’s a war again! Counting the time with the Sahua murloc not long ago, there have been at least four wars this year. Although we have never added any taxes, the residents of the island have begun to show With war exhaustion, coupled with a lot of expenses, it makes people a headache to think of it.” Shi Koudi started the complaining mode as he spoke.
You must know that war is fought with money, armor, weapons, food, military salaries, pensions, etc., there is almost nothing that does not require money, not to mention that the scrolls, storage staff, and magic equipment used by the wizards are astronomical. If it were not supported by the huge profits of the salt and spice trade, I am afraid that the financial aspect would have already borrowed money to survive.
As a hostess. Every time she saw the financial statements sent by officials, she would be terrified, for fear that there would be astronomical expenditures again. But as there is a saying. The more you are afraid of what comes, the more than a thousand barbarian warriors are about to embark on the journey with Henry’s order. In addition, the young wizards are about to set off. They are carrying millions of gold coins. War materials are about to go to an unknown battlefield.
Seeing Shikodi’s painful expression on his face, Tylan Tier couldn’t help but smiled and shook his head: “You only saw the huge amount of money and materials consumed by the war, but you didn’t see the benefits of the war. Not to mention how much your rule has expanded, the benefits of reputation alone are hard to overestimate. Now the entire West Coast residents know that the Angome family has extremely strong strength, merchants are willing to come here to do business, scholars like it. The poor people who come here to give lectures want to find a stable job here, and they bring more wealth than you give.”
“Well, maybe what you said makes sense, but every time I think of war, I can’t help but feel cold, as if I’ve been watered by cold water. No accident will happen to Henry this time? It’s the first time he came from the island. It really makes people feel a little worried to adjust so many mages up.” Said Shikoudi frowned slightly.
She will never forget the battle that was full of dead bodies not long ago. The blood stained the entire wharf area and the warehouse area red. Even after such a long time, the fishermen were unwilling to go fishing. Because they can often see all kinds of **** floating objects on the sea, not only look very disgusting, but also smelly.
Just when Tyrantil was trying to comfort a few words, a buzzing roar suddenly came from outside, followed by three giant airships slowly passing over the lord’s mansion, which instantly attracted everyone’s attention. Especially the magic light hung on both sides to prevent air collision tragedy keeps flashing, making the airbag look extraordinarily terrifying, just like the legendary monster sea magic whale, hundreds of pterosaurs stand on the side platform to **** , The dense clusters look spectacular.
All of a sudden, the officials, nobles, merchants, and church representatives who came to the banquet began to talk quietly, speculating about the reasons why these huge flying vehicles left the island.
“Are you finally going to do it…Father…” Allen muttered to himself as he watched the large flying vehicle drifting away.
From the bottom of his heart, the boy envied the young mages who were able to participate in this war. If it weren’t for his mother to watch too closely, he even wanted to sneak in and see for himself how the mages played a role. Take a look at the legendary mages. The battle between, broaden your own horizons.
However, it is a pity, how could Shikody, who has always been cautious, let his son who had just been kidnapped out of his sight, so Allen’s plan could only be aborted in the end and stay at home honestly. Unless he dares to use some illusions to deceive his mother, but the result of doing so is likely to be forbidden for a long time, and the travel plan that has been finalized will be 100% ruined.
“Hey! My dear brother, what are you mumbling about here?” Liv, the twin sister, suddenly jumped out from a corner to greet. She is now wearing a gorgeous pettiskirt with long silver hair draped around her waist. It looks cute and beautiful. Like a princess walking out of a fairy tale. But the sly look in his eyes exposed his mischievous character.
Allen turned his head and smiled at his sister: “It’s nothing, I’m thinking about what my father is doing at the moment. What about you, why aren’t you running over there with your aunt?”
After the underground journey, his mind matured a lot, far surpassing his own sister, so he took the initiative in one sentence.
Liv boringly pulled the skirt corner and complained: “It’s so boring, those silly idiots have been turning around my aunt from the beginning. If it weren’t for fear of being reprimanded by my mother, I would have used magic to scare them away. Up.”
“This is no way. The aunt has reached the age to be married, and coupled with her own beauty and excellence, she will definitely attract many suitors. But I think these people are all in vain. You didn’t see the corners of her aunt’s mouth. Are you disdainful?” After finishing Alan, he took a sip of the juice in the glass.
Now all the surrounding countries have learned that Henry has a sister who can be married, so many nobles have sent young male heirs to stand by in the city of Bluevent, preparing to win the heart of this beautiful lady. Of course, there are also ordinary people and speculators who want to make it to the sky in one step.
However, because Henry sent his sister and two children secretly to Gaolibao to learn magic some time ago, most of them were empty. Fortunately, Shikoudi held this banquet today, otherwise these guys will definitely come and return.
“Perhaps. I don’t want my aunt to marry too early, otherwise no one will play with us. By the way. Dear brother, can you lend me a few days of reading the book you hang around your waist?” Liv stared unblinkingly at the “Book of Infinite Spells” that his brother was about to bring. She is keenly aware that there is a powerful magic attached to it, and has wanted to get it in her hand more than once to study it.
Obviously, although this powerful magic item can be used by everyone, it is too powerful for a mage apprentice, and a little carelessness will hurt yourself.
It is impossible for Allen to give such a dangerous thing to his sister, so he shook his head without hesitation: “No! I don’t want to see you use the magic above to blow yourself up. This is not a normal magic item. It even records some seventh-level magic, which can cause huge damage if you are not careful.”
“It’s stingy! Did you lend me your spell book to see the head office?” Seeing that the request was fruitless, Liv immediately shifted the target.
“This is no problem, but I can only lend it to you for one night, and I will exchange it back before noon tomorrow.” After speaking, Allen took off one of the belts from his waist and handed it over. “Remember, the opening spell is abban. Don’t pronounce it wrong, otherwise the text above will be out of order, and no one should try to understand it.”
Liv took the belt and frowned and asked, “abban? What do you mean, I really want to have never heard a word.”
“This is the language of the dark elf. Abban is equivalent to an ally or temporarily not an enemy. In short, it is one of the words they hate to use. When I was underground, I met a kind dark elf called Solaufen. He It gave me a lot of help, so I thought of this word the first time when I was making it.” Allen explained with a look of nostalgia.
The journey underground is a metamorphosis for him. From an ignorant boy to a true spellcaster, he desires power, desires knowledge, and desires everything that can make him powerful. It was Solaufen who extended a helping hand in time that didn’t make him completely cruel and cunning, and eventually became a puppet of darkness and power.
It is also for this reason Henry did not stingy in the reward. Because he knows best what this help means to a person in desperate situation, the fire equivalent to hope is the light that illuminates the deepest part of the soul.
“Then what happened to this dark elf named Solaufen? Is he dead?” Liv couldn’t help showing curious eyes.
Allen smiled and shook his head: “No, he left the ground alive, and was made a baron by his father. I believe it will not be long before you can see him.”
“Hey, it sounds interesting. I’m going to see what spells are recorded here. Goodbye, my dear brother.” After saying that, Liv waved his hand and bounced back to the end of the hall.
The banquet in the living room lasted until late at night, and gradually dispersed after all the guests had enjoyed themselves. After the last guest left, Allen rushed into Henry’s study room, found which book he was studying, and again began to frantically absorb the knowledge recorded above… (to be continued…)
