Victor said seriously: "The first reason is that as a great consul, you must look majestic during the day. But how old are you now? Do you have a straight face like your father all the time? It’s better to laugh more and vent your feelings, otherwise you will turn into a gargoyle sooner or later.”
"Disgusting." Faras scolded. He had heard Ryan tell about the adventures in King Alexander's tomb and knew what a gargoyle was. Now that he heard Victor actually use this as a metaphor for himself, of course he had to vent his feelings. dissatisfied,
Victor laughed and was quite satisfied with his methods. At least he would take Farasi to be alone with him from time to time, and use the more casual relationship between teachers and students to let Farasi vent his depression as much as possible. Otherwise, It doesn’t take too much. In a few years, Faras will probably become a person with an excessive desire for power due to years of monopolizing power.
Generally speaking, rulers who have great power will feel lonely because they have gained power. However, it is impossible for such people to open their hearts to others, so in order to exclude this feeling of loneliness, rulers will become more and more focused on their thoughts. When it comes to how to consolidate the power in one's hands, a trivial matter may easily lead to the confiscation of a family and the extermination of a clan. A sentence or an action may contain all kinds of scheming.
Luke had already begun to show such signs back then. However, the family affection of the Faras sisters and Luke's inner loyalty to the empire allowed him to remain sane. But once a person is completely immersed in power, how long can he maintain his sanity? Even Archmage Victor doesn't know.
So during the day, even though Victor hated politics, he still taught Faras how to maintain the majesty of a superior in front of the people, how to quietly lay out layers of means to check and balance subordinates, and how to smile with a smile on his face. Victor didn't like these things, but he still learned a lot from books and Luke.
And at night, Victor would often take Faras to live an ordinary life, sometimes going to a farm outside the imperial capital, sometimes chatting about the past over a glass of Bordeaux, and a few times simply having sex He took Farasi to meditate and study the mysteries of magic.
It is precisely because of this that Faras can still maintain an innocent heart. When dealing with government affairs, she is a majestic grand consul. But in private, Faras is still the slightly squeamish but kind-hearted person that Ryan knew back then. Faras, a kind-hearted female magician, naturally understands Victor's painstaking efforts, so although she is merciless in words, she respects Victor more and more in her heart.
"The second point is to look at the moon." Victor said calmly,
"Moon, what's there to see? Besides, even if I want to see it, I can't do it with you. Why should I accompany Ryan..." When Faras said this, she suddenly couldn't go on, and her heart was filled with feelings for her close lover. thoughts,
"Ahem." Victor coughed, collected Farasi's thoughts, and then said slowly: "Do you know, I once spent almost half of my mana in order to prove something, which is enough to release a The thunder god’s wrath that destroyed the imperial capital.”
"Wow, you are so extravagant." Farasi curled her lips and said, "If this were painted into a scroll and auctioned off by Blackstone, it would be worth millions of gold coins. The empire's current annual tax is only so much."
"Cough, cough." Farasi's words made Victor cough a few more times, but this time it was to get rid of the awkward expression: "What do you, a little girl, know? Do you know that I proved a great thing."
"Oh, what is it?" Victor's words aroused curiosity in Farasi's heart. The matter of consuming the mana to release a forbidden spell must be very important.
"On a starry night, well, it's different from tonight." Victor said,
"Oh, you are so verbose." Farah interrupted Victor without mercy: "People always talk a lot. Could it be that the majestic Archmage has aged to this point?"
Victor retorted: "You talk more than me now. Even if you get older, you will be older."
"Don't you want to say something very important? Could it be that our two ages are related to this matter?" Faras saw Victor's sharp words and immediately changed the subject.
Victor said slowly: "If you had shut your mouth, I would have finished the matter long ago, Granny Faras."
"Weird, little baby Victor." Faras patted Victor's head quite boldly and said with a smile: "Do you want my sister to buy you some candies?"
"Huh, no big or small." Victor saw that the joke was almost over, and Farasi's mood was almost open, so he said seriously: "In a short period of time, I used the 'Gateway of Time and Space' The magic was teleported several times, and each teleportation brought several attendants, whose task was to map the distribution of stars in the sky."
"The time it took for the Gate of Time and Space to be transmitted was not very long. It can be considered that they drew the star distribution maps at about the same time. However, when I got several star maps and compared them carefully, I found that they were exactly the same. That is It is said that the night sky we see now is exactly the same as what we see tens of thousands of miles away at the same time."
"What does this mean?" Faras looked puzzled.
"Oh, you little idiot." Victor couldn't help but curse: "In other words, if Ryan is also looking at the moon you are seeing now, you will see the same thing. This is the same moon you are sitting side by side with. There is no difference watching them together.”
Faras was stunned, and then stood up suddenly. She looked up blankly at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly shouted uncontrollably: "Ryan, I am Faras, I have been in the imperial capital. Waiting for you, do you hear me?"
In Iron Fist Castle, Ryan was concentrating on telling Vivian about his adventure with Faras. Of course, he consciously ignored the parts of the entire adventure that might expose his identity, but even so, the female warrior Vivian listened. With relish,
Suddenly, Ryan felt a strong magic wave coming from the moonlight in the sky, and vaguely heard a familiar voice in his ears: "I'm waiting for you, waiting for you, waiting for you..."
This voice turned out to be the voice of Farasi, who had been separated for three years. Ryan jumped up suddenly and looked in the direction of the imperial capital in disbelief. The voice in his ears seemed to be calling him non-stop, but Ryan listened carefully, but only heard a faint sound. The buzzing of insects, is this just my illusion, or is Farasi's power of longing so powerful that the voice calling her can be transmitted here
Ryan was so excited that he could no longer control his emotions. Tears of longing rolled in his eyes. He quickly raised his head and looked up at the night sky. Suddenly, a female head appeared faintly in the center of the bright moon. Ryan rubbed it incredulously. Rubbing his eyes, it turned out to be Farasi, but when Ryan blinked a few times and looked again, he only saw a pool of moonlight like water.
Ryan slowly put his hand on his left chest and uttered a firm vow: "Fanny, I promise you, I will definitely come back. Wait for me, and I will make you the most beautiful and unhappy bride on this continent. ,none of them."
The bright moon hung in the sky, and the breeze blew past her face, blowing the swaying leaves. Vivian, who was sitting on the ground, looked at Ryan's back and listened to Ryan's vows. The sadness in her heart could no longer be endured. Tears welled up in my eyes,
