Bayaf was a little dissatisfied with the young woman's words, but seeing that his master had made up his mind, he had no choice but to retreat.
When Master Sardo, the snake man, finally left the carriage, the young woman said, "Please bring Avro to see me. This little girl is probably still complaining about me."
"As you wish." Master Sardo, the snake man, bowed respectfully and stepped out.
After a short time, the door of the carriage was reopened, and the snake master reappeared in front of his master. Then Sardo turned sideways, revealing the sand girl Avro standing behind him. Waiting for Avro After Luo entered the carriage, Sardo closed the carriage door and then activated the soundproof barrier so as not to disturb the conversation between the mother and daughter inside.
"Humph, my mother, why did you suddenly think of me again?" Avro looked at her mother and asked angrily,
The young woman smiled sweetly. Although she was Avro's mother, if the two of them stood together, it would not be obvious from their appearance alone. In the past, there were many misidentifications of mother and daughter as twin sisters. , after seeing Avro's appearance, the young woman stretched out her hand to comb Avro's hair, which was slightly messy due to the bump just now, and then said: "Avro, you are still young, there are many Things are not as you imagine."
Avro obviously still had some resentment in her heart. She turned her head away and ignored her mother.
Avro's mother would not be angry at her daughter's little temper. She pulled Avro to sit next to her, and then said patiently: "I know you blame me for grounding you, but there is nothing you can do about it. After all, this private escape has caused a lot of trouble. Some of them have already blamed you for the failure of the Salu Fin, and even plan to blame the mistakes of the entire plan... "
"Huh, a bunch of cowards." Avro raised her head, stared at her mother, and said, "Shout slogans to shake the heavens and earth, poke holes to shout the heavens and the earth, this is the great siren The most loyal warrior of the empire, can we really restore our country with just these pustules, my Queen Mother?"
Avro's mother, the former Siren Empire's current queen, Her Majesty Celine Weina, straightened up after hearing these words. She said to Avro seriously: "My daughter, this is a private matter between our mother and daughter. Conversation, you can talk to me about anything, but except for the occasion at hand, you must not talk about such negative topics, otherwise even if you are my daughter, you will still be punished the most severely, but don’t complain then I didn’t remind you.”
"Whatever, in fact, I don't care about this so-called noble status at all." Avro knew that her mother's warning was for her own good, so her tone softened a lot, but she still complained: "I have to study endlessly since I was a child. Etiquette, you must be noble and generous at all times, you must maintain your manners, and you must not express your inner thoughts easily... I've had enough, I've had enough."
"But don't forget, if you didn't have this identity, it would be impossible for you to have a life of fine clothing and fine food since you were a child, let alone enjoy the offerings of others without any worries. My dear daughter, some It's a very unpleasant thing to say, but you are an adult and you should understand that if you and I don't have this status, I'm afraid our best end will be just someone else's plaything." The young woman Celine Weina sneered: "Are you proficient in martial arts? Are you good at casting spells, do you have the wisdom to calculate everything, do you have the power to control the fate of others? You don’t, Avro, all you have is Miss Jiaojiao’s temper and your naive little head.”
"Me." Avro felt that her mother's words were very harsh, but when she wanted to refute, she suddenly realized that it was all true. From the moment she escaped from the Sarlen Fin, there was no longer a successor to the blood of the Siren Empire. This noble status was almost reduced to the point of being wantonly insulted by a group of humble and dirty mercenaries. Later, although her life was relatively safe, she still relied on that tiefling and his wife. Under the Wings, to a certain extent, is no different from the playthings her mother talked about,
"Young, passionate, and with a heart as high as the sky." Every word of Celine Weina penetrated deeply into Avro's ears: "I have been at your age, so naturally I know all this very well, but in this world In a world where the weak eat the strong, these things can only make you bruised and bloody. My daughter, after all these years, do you think I really don’t know that those old guys are fighting for power in the name of restoring the Siren Empire? You Do you think I don’t know that they began to be slowly emptied of the power that should belong to us many years ago? Do you think I really can’t see the obscenity in the eyes of those old guys looking at us** ."
"Why do each generation of the family select three of the best women and send them to the altar underground in Ulutel? Rusiyaro suggested to me back then that I use these women to win over those quasi-legendary strong men. "Celina Weina said with a sneer: "If I hadn't kept a low profile for so many years, and even completely gave up those powers on the surface, do you really think those old guys would give us such lenient treatment? My mother was ambitious in the beginning, trying to win over the legendary powerful. She wanted to regain her own position, but as a result, her beauty disappeared before she was 30 years old. Do you believe she really got the disease and died?"
"My daughter, the biggest secret of our Siren royal family is hidden on the altar under the ground of Urutel. As long as the great ocean goddess can still hear the call of our bloodline successor, she will descend her supreme power. If we have the majesty of the Siren Royal Family, we can continue to pass it on, but once we abandon this foundation, can we really turn over even if we have a few legendary strong men?"
When Silinwina said this, she paused for a moment, then slowed down and slowly narrated: "Well, even if we finally succeed in internal strife and regain power, what awaits us after our strength weakens will be the legend of the Naga Empire. The strong team, when the Siren Empire was defeated, it was because Her Majesty the Queen lost the protection of the Ocean Goddess, lost the power of the light of the gods, and finally died under the attacks of 27 legendary strong men of the Naga tribe, but even In this way, more than half of the 27 legendary strong men were still buried. Why did the Naga Fei Lingcui tribe madly massacre the submarine plain? Because in that battle, not one of the 4 legendary strong men in their tribe was left. If Instead of creating some terrifying reputation to suppress the enemies who are openly or covertly trying to make a move, maybe the Feilingcui clan would have been annexed by others by now."
Listening to her mother telling the secrets of the past, Avro suddenly felt a heavy burden on her body, which made her feel breathless. Avro wanted to turn around and run away, and stay away from these right and wrongs. But in the end, her feet stood firmly on the floor without moving at all. Looking at her daughter's expression, Silin Weina easily guessed her mental activities, so Silin Weina took her daughter in her arms and held her in her arms. , and then while stroking her hair, he said: "This is our innate mission. No matter how you escape, you cannot disobey your fate. So, my daughter, face your destiny bravely." Destiny, if you really succeed and receive the blessing of the Ocean Goddess, then our Siren Royal Family will truly have a chance to stand up. If you fail, it doesn't matter. We will continue to pass on our bloodline and let our next generation continue. try… "
"Then, mother... you, you were also..." Leaning in her mother's arms, Avro suddenly felt very warm in her heart. She asked softly: "What exactly is that ceremony like?"
"Everyone's ritual is different. You can think of it as a test of your will by the gods." Celine Weina shook her head and said: "Others' experiences can only make you more confused, so when you face a choice during the test , just be yourself.”
"I understand." Avro snuggled into her mother's arms, enjoying the rare warmth. Growing up, she rarely had this kind of opportunity to be alone with her mother, often only when Avro sat down for some "extraordinary" After the incident, Celine Weina showed up to discipline her. This abnormal growth experience left a deep rebellious mark on Avro's character, otherwise she wouldn't have been so bold as to wander around alone in Salufin. Ran,
"Efro." Silinweina felt her daughter's body temperature in her arms and gently called her name in her ear.
"Well, mother." Avro also asked in the same weak voice that could only be heard by two people: "What's the matter."
"There is one thing, I need you to come forward..." Silenwina said slowly,
,,,,,,*,,,,,,*,,,,,,
"How far are we from Yulutel?" Siassi asked Wo Sheng beside her with a relaxed expression.
"It's less than 300 kilometers, Mr. Patriarch." Wo Sheng quickly checked the terrain map in his hand and replied in a deep voice: "We walked in a straight line."
Siassi nodded. After her teacher blasted away the coral sea with a forbidden spell, Siassi and his party quickly passed through it in just over two hours. After completing the walk, they originally needed to detour for nearly a day. During the journey, with Ryan's personal enlightenment education, Siassi slowly began to learn how to adapt to the strength of the legendary strongman and use this power in the following journey. For example, with the help of Ryan's "Magic God" Eyes", Siassi can know every move of dozens of kilometers around the entire team. This is not something that can be easily achieved by sending out teams of scouts.
Ryan, who was riding on the sea horse, suddenly made a stop gesture and said, "A guest is coming. Be prepared for a fight, although the visitor does not seem to be hostile." Siassi quickly stopped after hearing this. The order to advance was given, and soon the entire team was ready for defense under the command of Siassi. Hundreds of people performed their duties and stood ready. As long as the intruder was not a legendary powerhouse or the number exceeded ten times, they would have considerable power. Your self-confidence can defeat opponents who overestimate their capabilities.
A few minutes later, a small shuttle boat appeared in everyone's sight. The shuttle boat was only a little more than 3 meters long. Its front end was a sharp cone, which allowed it to easily break through the sea water and move forward. The shuttle boat It was traveling at an extremely fast speed. When it was less than 5 kilometers away from Siassi and the others, Siassi and her party could clearly find that there was actually a snake man following the small shuttle boat. His speed in the sea water was no slower than the shuttle boat. Judging from the relaxed expression on the snake man's face, I'm afraid his speed should be as fast as possible to accommodate the shuttle boat.
The shuttle boat and the snake man slowly stopped about 1 kilometer away from Ryan, and then they heard the snake man say loudly in Naga language: "Are you the legendary Tiefling strongman Irisela? Master, we do not have any malicious intentions in this trip, but we are just visiting from an old friend, so I would like to ask Master to move on."
"Hmph, what tricks does this guy have? Teacher, you must be careful." Siassi said to Ryan in a low voice,
"It doesn't matter, you stay where you are, I'll go over and take a look." After Ryan said these words, he swung his arms casually, and the Archmage's robe immediately broke through the sea water, and his figure disappeared instantly from where he was. , when Ryan appeared again, he had already crossed the short distance of one kilometer and stood less than ten meters away in front of the snake man.
"I have met Master Arethra. I am Sardo, the captain of the lady's bodyguard." The snake man also admired Ryan's courage. Normally, magicians would be wary of the martial arts profession. If possible, he would definitely do it. They kept a distance between each other, and Ryan came to him in a flash without paying attention. It can be seen that Ryan was absolutely sure of his own safety. Although Sardo was a little eager in his heart, he wanted to have such a rare relationship with Ryan. He had a battle with his opponents, but the instructions from his host Celine Weina before leaving still made him give up that idea.
After the snake man Sardo said these words, he patted the shuttle a few times. Then the smooth shuttle opened the small hatch, and a girl in costume walked out of it. She turned out to be the former Avro, a girl from the Sand tribe who had traveled with Ryan, saw Ryan standing in front of her. Her face turned slightly red, but she still performed a somewhat strange but noble-looking etiquette: " Hello, Master Arethra."
Ryan nodded slightly as a return gift to Avro, and then he said, "Please tell me something."
Avro did not speak immediately, but looked sideways at Sardo, who quickly backed away without hesitation and left several kilometers away in a moment, leaving Avro alone next to Ryan. Avro waited until Ryan was the only one around, and then slowly said: "In the previous paragraph, Avro was grateful for the care of the master and sister Vanessa. I am very grateful here. I haven't seen you for a few days, but I'm sorry. It seems like they have been separated for several years, why don’t I see sister Vanessa
