Chapter 634: Extended line of defense (1/2)
The chaotic and imaginary sky shrouds the earth with monotonous colors, and the scenery that has been separated from the color presents a state of lack of layering in the field of vision. There is no such thing as a strange, breeze blowing, and the black dust and dust are rolled up in the wind. There seem to be hidden in the eyes of countless double peeping eyes - Victoria is standing in this world full of black and white, and the face that has always been indifferent and alienated is inevitably a hint of surprise.
And the person who brought her surprise was next to her. The half-elf, whose character was too active, stood there proudly. A long black hair fluttered like a smoke in the air, and the golden scorpion was in the middle. Laughing, the lower body is condensed with a cloud of shadow clouds, and the whole person seems to have turned into an elf in the shadow world, and this world of black and white and two colors is subtly blended together.
"...unbelievable power," Victoria watched amber quietly for a few seconds, whispering softly. "You are the most powerful shadow master I have ever seen. No wonder the Raven will be defeated twice in your hand. It’s really simple that no one is under the Duke’s hands."
"It’s no problem to boast more than two sentences. It’s rare for someone to praise me so much," Amber smiled smugly. "I said that the dark crow you mentioned, I have an impression, the one I took out twice from the shadow world." Yes - there is a chance that you have to persuade him. If you can't do it, you can still practice a two-handed sword with a long hammer. The shadow may not suit him..."
Familiar people know that amber will start running quickly when it starts bb. Basically, there are not a few words that make sense, but Victoria obviously does not adapt to the rhythm of this half-elf. It is a bit stunned on the spot, probably not knowing. How to continue this topic, but fortunately, Amber's bb is a burst of time, and if she can't get a response in a short time, she will jump over the idea. This half-elf has moved her hands and feet and looked up into the distance. The half-collapsed castle, which was in a strangely stacked state, said in a tone that a criminal was preparing to commit a crime: "Don’t waste time, start working. It should be the shadow of the Tulip Fortress."
Victoria looked up and saw the castle at the end of the road: black and white two-colored pieces stacked on the gray-black ground, and some of the castle walls that can be distinguished in the broken wall, in this strangely confused shadow world, The semi-destroyed tulip castle has a clear sense of chaos. Some of its structure seems to have lost its material details, while the other part of the structure overlaps and accumulates in a way that violates the laws of nature. The whole castle is lost like a failed painting. Coordination, only the intact Master Tower and some of the affiliated towers are clearly established at the back of the castle.
This is the first time Victoria has entered the shadow world. As a Frost Mage, her accomplishments in the Shadow Way are limited to some theoretical knowledge. This mysterious and strange world has opened her eyes and made her sigh to the name of her. The amber of the amber is powerful in the shadow technique. After she was behind Amber, she relied on swiftness, wind and other spells to keep up with the other's footsteps, and couldn't help but curiously ask: "Why did you follow the Duke of Cecil?"
Amber is like a fish in the water. It is usually in the shadow world. The black smoke on the body flutters in the air. When she hears Victoria's words, she slightly turns her head and has a playful smile on her face: "What? Want to dig the corner?"
Victoria solemnly shook his head: "No, that is not what the nobles did. If I really want to hire you, I will go directly to the Duke of Cecil and ask for your opinion on a more formal occasion. I am just curious." ”
"Ah, the light is upright... but the old man... Gao Wen is not the same," Amber laughed. "If he wants to dig talents and dig the talents that are obviously impossible to get through positive negotiations, then he is sure." It will secretly lobby for money to buy public opinion and build people's hearts to attract all kinds of means."
Victoria once again felt that the topic couldn't keep going, and he only shook his head: "...we have a different style of behavior."
"So I am still more suitable for Gao Wen, not suitable for your 'orthodox' nobles," Amber said casually. "You just didn't ask me why I followed the Duke of Cecil? Actually nothing, I dug. His grave was then seized by the parties. In fact, I dug into the grave and just wanted to hide."
Victoria looked at the amazement as if he was confirming whether the other was joking.
"I can't believe it? But it's really the case," Amber said without hesitation. "Actually, I was unhappy at the beginning. I was thinking about pretending to agree, and then I didn't pay attention to Gao Wen. I stole his money and ran, but then I found one thing: I couldn’t beat it, I couldn’t beat it, and I couldn’t run it. I just had to stay. It turned out that my decision was quite right—the second The annual wages will rise."
Victoria listened to it all expressionlessly, but the slightly flashing eyes showed that she was not so calm and indifferent on the surface. She looked at the amber deeply and said in the words as plain as possible: "I never I have heard people use this way to describe their loyalty to an aristocrat, you... really... very special."
"...the duchess, you made a mistake," Amber suddenly stopped and looked at Victoria. "I have never loyal to the Duke of Govin Cecil. I have not loyal to any nobles and His blood family."
Victoria's indifferent expression was broken, and she looked at the amber with some horror.
"I am not a noble descendant. Half of my extraordinary strength comes from talent. Half of it comes from a thief who was killed by the church and the nobility. I naturally did not swear allegiance to the nobility because I have no surname, and I am not. I need this qualification," Amber said without hesitation. "At first, Gao Wen gave me a gold coin for one month, so I was responsible for this gold coin. Later, when the money went up, I was up. Responsible for the work, then he established the city of Cecil, integrated the Kant area, he let the serf use the job to redeem, so that civilians can walk in the middle of the road, so that businessmen do not have to give the knight a gimmick, I like it all, and my job is Keep it all, so I started to take responsibility for my work.
"Afterwards, he established the Principality of Cecil, where citizens can read and work. From the year before last year, no one in the city of Cecil was starved to death, so I was loyal, I am in my heart. Secretly loyal to the Principality of Cecil.
"Duke, I am not a nobleman. Even if Gao Wen gave me a noble title in the future, I will never be able to become a standard aristocrat in your pile of frames. I am not loyal to the Duke of Cecil, no loyalty to the Cecil family, no Allegiance to any so-called noble blood and title, although I respect everyone in the current Cecil family, but it is only because they deserve respect, but I do not owe allegiance to them, they have never asked me for allegiance.
"If we have to say something, we have only one common goal of allegiance - what we are loyal to is what Govin Cecil built, not himself.
"Madam, if you can't tell the difference, then I'm afraid we will never be a passer-by."
Victoria looked quietly at the half-elf in front of him. After entering the shadow world, the Miss Half-Elf changed more than just temperament, and a little character, but what she said... it’s not her weekdays. I really thought about it.
"I will try to understand it," Victoria said quietly.
"That's your problem. To be honest, I don't like the nobility very much. Most of them don't like it, but recently I have two more exceptions in my eyes. One is you, the other is Berk, who ignited the bonfire." Turning around and continuing on the road, he said, "I used to think that the noble character of the aristocratic mouth is bragging, but at least from you, I saw something that actually existed - but then again, the Duke, Individuals cannot represent the whole, I still don't like the nobility."
