"Hoohoo!" The cold wind whistled, sweeping across the world, and endless snowflakes filled the whole world.
Delia, dressed in a white fur robe, is standing at the window quietly looking at the world outside the window. Behind her are two magical beasts, the Earth Bear 'Haden' and the Thunder Eagle 'Paley' , the two monsters did not say anything.
A sigh came from Delia's mouth.
"Father, mother..." Delia had a wry smile on her face, she really didn't expect her parents to deceive her. She said that her grandmother was seriously ill, but when she rushed back with the Thunder and Wind Eagle, she realized that her grandmother was still healthy.
The night she came back...
Delia angrily asked her parents: "Father, mother, why did you lie to me to come back?"
Originally, Delia wanted to follow Linley all the time.
Delia's father, Daiya Ryan, looked at Delia and asked, "Delia, did you fall in love with that dragon-blooded warrior lei? You didn't accept other boys for so many years after you came back. for him?"
Delia was surprised that she didn't tell her father.
"How do you know?" Delia asked immediately.
But her mother sighed: "Delia, why don't you tell us what's in your heart? This is what your teacher, Master Longs, told us after he returned to the empire. He asked us to prepare you and the Linley's wedding."
Delia, who was originally angry, was shy for a while.
Delia's parents looked at each other, but shook their heads and smiled bitterly, but her father 'Daiya' said solemnly, "My dear daughter, I have to solemnly tell you now that it is possible for you and Linley."
"What?" Delia looked at his father.
Her father said solemnly: "Delia, Linley's younger brother is the husband of the seventh princess of the O'Brien Empire. There is no doubt that Linley is a strong man in the sanctuary of the O'Brien Empire. And the O'Brien Empire is the same as our Magnolia. You also understand the relationship between the empire."
"Yes, our Magnolia Empire and O'Brien Empire are the two most powerful empires in the mainland, and they are hostile to each other, but what does this have to do with me and Linley?" Delia was very upset, "Dad, do you think that I Being with Linley will affect the family?"
"Yes."
Daiya Lane nodded and said, "If a family has a strong sanctuary, that family will become stronger. If you marry Linley... Then once our Magnolia Empire and O'Brien Empire have a big war, that empire will not dare to I trust our Ryan family too much."
Delia is very angry at the moment.
She thought her father's statement was ridiculous.
"Delia, think about it, if you were the emperor. You found a child of a big family in the empire and married a strong sanctuary in the enemy country. Are you worried about the family's betrayal?" Daya Ryan said seriously .
Delia choked.
She has nothing to say because there is precedent in history.
Back then, a noble lady from a family in the Roo Empire married the king of a kingdom on the extreme eastern prairie, and then the entire family betrayed the country and joined the prairie kingdom. Don't think that the Roo Empire is much stronger than the Prairie Kingdom.
There are three kingdoms in the eastern prairie.
The prairie people are sturdy by nature, and everyone is a naturally brave warrior, although the population is far inferior to the neighboring Roo Empire and Rhine Empire. However, these three great kingdoms have fought against these two great empires for so long, and they are not at a disadvantage.
"father, me and lei..." delia continued.
Daya Ryan interrupted: "Delia, you are a very smart child, you should know everything. Our Ryan family has accumulated over a thousand years to have our current status. Your Majesty may not be right when you marry Linley. How about our family. But obviously... Your Majesty's trust in our family will decrease!"
"Once trust is reduced, it will be much harder for many of our family's children to move up in the military and officialdom." Daiya Lane sighed, "Delia, I hope you can consider the family."
"But father, Linley is not part of the O'Brien Empire. He has gone to the Chaos Territory now!" Delia said quickly.
"Lord of Chaos?" Daiya Lane was startled, and her mother looked at Delia in surprise.
Delia quickly defended: "Yes, father, Lin Lei is not interested in the O'Brien Empire, he wants to open up a situation in the Chaos Territory. He will only belong to the Chaos Territory in the future. Father... The Chaos Territory, follow us The empire is not hostile, is it?"
Daiya was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.
Indeed, in the entire continent, only the O'Brien Empire could make the Magnolia Empire a rival.
As for the Chaos Territory, a chaotic place where dozens of principalities coexist at the same time, who would take him as an opponent
"If Linley really carves out his own territory in the Chaos Territory, then you should have no problem marrying him." Daiya Lane said slowly. This sentence, like the sound of heaven, made Delia breathe a sigh of relief.
Daya Ryan looked at Delia and said solemnly, "My dear daughter, I have to remind you... Only one day, in the eyes of the imperial family, that Linley does not belong to the O'Brien Empire, then you can be with Linley. , otherwise, absolutely not.”
"Father, I understand." Delia also loves her parents, her grandfather, grandmother, her brother, cousin and many other relatives. She didn't want to break with her family.
Daiya nodded slightly: "In these days, you'd better stay in the imperial capital and don't go looking for that Linley."
…
Recalling the conversation that night, Delia sighed softly again. Delia knew... Linley was already a strong man in the sanctuary, and his lifespan was almost infinite. She is also a seventh-level magister now, and if she continues to practice like this, her lifespan will be very long.
She is not in a hurry this year and a half.
Looking northeast through the window, the goose feathers are snowing, and the sky and the earth are gray, and I can't see anything clearly. And Delia's eyes seemed to pass through the space limit, saw the distant chaos, saw the black soil city...
…
Outside the city of Black Earth, teams on the black soil were running with heavy loads, and officers beside each team kept shouting, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't fall behind, damn, fall behind. Yes, don't think about breakfast."
On a raised high ground, the fourth 'Boone' and the fifth 'Gates' of the five brothers were just wearing trousers, with their sturdy upper body naked, watching around.
Black Earth City has not attacked the city for a while, but has been training troops. Several cities around Black Earth City felt the threat of Black Earth City, and those city owners were also very nervous. But those city owners did not dare to start the battle lightly.
Suddenly Linley came over, and while watching the soldiers training, he walked towards Gates and Boone.
"How are you, my lord?" Gates said proudly.
Linley nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's very good. By the way, what are you planning to start attacking the surrounding cities?" Linley didn't care about war and many other things. Except at the last minute, he is not needed.
Boone smiled honestly: "Sir, we haven't attacked yet. Some people in these cities have come to us and said they are ready to cooperate with us."
"oh, is there such a thing?" lei also laughed.
Gates hurriedly said: "Is that still fake? Sir, don't you know that after the strength of our five brothers spread, many surrounding cities are afraid. To deal with those cities, there is no need to use the army at all, just a few of us Brother directly kills it, that's easy!"
lei also laughed.
Such a small city, a master can indeed decide everything. After all, there are only a few thousand soldiers in a city like Black Earth City. Thousands of people, not enough to kill a ninth-level soldier. A ninth-level soldier can directly kill the leader and make everyone surrender!
But how to attack the principality or something is different.
A principality's army may be as many as 100,000. If you fight against the Holy See of Light in the future, maybe the opponent will have more troops... In the face of crowd tactics, how many master warriors can kill? The magician's role is much larger.
But as long as it is not a sanctuary-level magician, when it comes to crowd tactics, the quality and ability of the soldiers on both sides are the most important.
"What is your training?" Linley frowned as he looked at the scattered teams.
Boone explained: "Sir, this is divided into training according to each squadron, and a squadron of 300 people is divided into a small group for training. The squadron leader of each squadron, the six squad leaders monitor and train together, so that It will be much better.”
Gates, Boone and the others have also trained soldiers in the Eighteen Principalities of the Northern Territory, and they know how to train.
…
After returning to Heitu City to learn about the development, Linley returned to Heiwu Mountain.
Linley's figure, like a wisp of blue smoke, floated into the depths of Heiwu Mountain. Linley's residence in Heiwu Mountain was in the middle of a beautiful curved lake. In the center was a flat boulder with a radius of tens of meters. It was Linley. Find it in Heiwu Mountain, then split it with a sword, and then carry it over and throw it into the lake to serve as the foundation.
In the center of the lake, the surface of the boulder was only about half a meter higher than the water surface. Linley built a wooden house on the boulder.
"Beibei, what are you doing?" Linley stepped on the water and came to the middle of the water, but Linley suddenly realized that Beibei's small body was digging something on the edge of the boulder.
"Boss!" Beibei turned around and smiled at Linley. At the same time, her little claws quickly grabbed the edge of the boulder, and the shards of the stone kept flying, "I'm making steps, I'm making a few steps up here, I finally got into the water, so I could lie down on the steps and immerse in the water again, how comfortable. Boss, I'm smart, babe."
lei laughed.
"Puchi—" With one claw down, Bei Bei pulled out the sixth step. The first step was about ten centimeters high, and this one finally entered the water. Beibei sat on the bottom floor with her buttocks down, fetching water with her limbs at will, very comfortable.
Linley smiled, and looking at the rocks on the lakeshore, Linley waved one hand—
"Huh!" The gust of wind whistled, and the terrifying whirlwind easily rolled up a man-high boulder in the distance, and finally rolled it in front of Linley. The beautiful environment of Heiwu Mountain made Linley feel very peaceful. He didn't realize it. I thought of the people I cared about in my heart.
The corners of Linley's mouth were slightly upturned, and there was a hint of a smile.
Turning his hand out, he took out a flat knife, and Linley immediately began to carve on the boulder. The stone fragments flew away, and gradually... a roughly human-shaped embryo appeared. Bei Bei was lying on the steps with two small paws, looking up at the stone carving.
"Wow, boss, you are carving a woman, haha, I know, it must be Delia!" Beibei laughed aside.
However, Linley was completely immersed in the carving. The flat knife was sometimes as fast as lightning, and sometimes as light as a gentle breeze. He had reached the carving level of a master, enabling Linley to carve out exactly what he thought.
Mold embryos, fine carvings... Linley carves with all his heart.
From morning to evening of the next day. After two days and one night, Linley finally stopped the flat knife in his hand.
"Huh!" Linley exhaled softly, and the tiny debris flew up. This woman who carved the stone had a unique heroic spirit, especially the look in her eyes... It was like making the stone carving come alive.
Linley looked at the stone sculpture with satisfaction, then looked to the southwest, and said to himself, "Delia, you should have received my letter."
