When Rose woke up the next day, he found that he was still immersed in the stinking water prison. But the happy scene in the dream was so clearly imprinted in his mind.
In the dream, I was so comfortable, so happy...
Soon, naturally, the holy knight made a subconscious comparison.
The reality is so painful, but the dream is so happy—the holy knight began to have a faint expectation in his heart: even if it is death, at least let me fall asleep quickly, and relive the happy dream again...
Just because there is expectation in the heart, people's psychology usually becomes fragile instead. Even Rose himself didn't realize this.
No Desires, No Desires—If a person doesn't even care about anything, and has no desires, then such a person is undoubtedly the most terrifying.
But Rose, he is no longer such a person.
Apart from death, he was agitated by the unbearable environment in the water prison, and he began to look forward to that wonderful dream...
Then, in the afternoon of that day, a few soldiers still appeared as scheduled, rushed into the dungeon, and poured Rose another large glass of thick ice berry juice!
Hunger, thirst, cold, and pain all tortured Rose like several sharp swords at the same time. And under such circumstances, with a sharp contrast, this dream seems to be even more wonderful!
Unknowingly, the holy knight began to indulge in this beauty before death...
The wheels are rolling.
A four-wheeled carriage is galloping across the wilderness in the northwest.
Her Royal Highness Verona is sitting in the carriage, this beautiful saint, but her face is not pretty at the moment.
The windows of the carriage have been nailed to death with wooden strips, and she can only pass through the gaps in the windows. By identifying the direction of the sunlight outside. It can be barely judged. I am heading north all the way.
Just three nights ago, a group of tulip family cavalry were like tigers and wolves. Rushing into the religious center in Loulan City, there is no room for discussion. Regardless of the obstruction of the clergy in the religious institute. He rushed in directly and found Her Majesty the Holy Maiden.
The person who leads the team. Verona is very familiar, this is the young general Qaida who is known as the "little two hundred and five" in the Tulip family's army. This young impulsive fighter. He is an old subordinate of Longbottom.
In the face of those angry clergy, Little Two Hundred Five directly took out an order signed by the Duke of Tulip, and announced to Her Majesty the Holy Maiden: The honorary Archbishop of the Northwest Diocese, Lord Tulip Duke of the Empire, summoned Her Majesty the Holy Maiden of the Church of Light to discuss Urgent matter!
There is no doubt that such an order is very unreasonable: according to the status within the church, the status of the saint is obviously much higher than the honorary archbishop of a local diocese. so. An emeritus archbishop "calls" the saint. It's a ridiculous thing.
However, in the face of the murderous General Al Qaeda. And the group of his men who are like wolves and tigers. None of the clergymen dared to say no to the cavalry of the Tulip family holding the handle of the knife in their hands.
Everyone knows that in the northwest, the Duke of Tulip is the real ruler here! What church scriptures, national laws, etc., etc., are far inferior to the words of Duke Tulip!
Originally, religious places in any place were protected by the Holy Knights of the local diocese—but in the northwest, the Holy Knights of the Northwest Diocese were directly under the Duke of Tulip!
and. Everyone can see it. Ram, the archbishop of the Northwest Diocese here, is the former archbishop of the North Central Diocese and the deputy of Lord Maximus. And Lord Maximus. He is now recognized as the future successor of the Pope, and it is said that his sect has an extremely close relationship with the Duke of Tulip.
So, in the Northwest. Whether it is government affairs, military power, or even educational affairs. All the power is in the hands of Duke Tulip alone!
Facing the soldiers of the Tulip family who rushed into the religious place unreasonably, the clergy had nothing to do, because they knew that there was no reason to speak here.
Facing these soldiers, Her Royal Highness showed a trace of composure at first: "May I have time to change my clothes?"
But Al Qaeda just replied coldly: "You are not going to the ball, Your Highness! And we adults don't like to wait for a long time!"
that's all. In the middle of the night, the saint was "invited" out of the religious place by these rude guys wearing only a nightgown. "Please" got into a carriage.
and. The doors and windows of the carriage were nailed up—where is this a call, where is an invitation? It's an arrest at all!
fortunately. The saint is a person who knows the times, so she didn't make any objections.
What can she say? Say "I'm a princess! How can a duke have the power to arrest a princess?"
Can this kind of reasoning make sense in the Northwest? In the eyes of these soldiers of the Tulip family, even the regent of the imperial capital is nothing compared to the Duke of Tulip!
In the northwest, everyone only knows that there is a ruler here, not a goddess, not an emperor, not a regent, but Du Wei! !
After being stuffed into this "prison car", they drove on the road for three full days.
During these three days, except that these guys would open the car door to let the saint come out to rest for a while when eating and resting every day, she had to be locked in a small car most of the time.
Moreover, al Qaeda personally led the team to "escort" him along the way. All the cavalry looked stern, and no one wanted to say a word to this saint.
Finally, three days later, the carriage arrived at Jiliat City, which is located north of Loulan City.
For this abandoned old capital city, Her Majesty the Holy Maiden has been famous for a long time.
She already knew that this was an important stronghold of the Duke of Tulip, and even found out that it was probably the weapon arsenal of the Tulip family.
However, the defense here is also extremely strict! Especially recently, there are thousands of soldiers guarding here day and night, and there are Decepticon Sky Knights patrolling back and forth in the sky!
Just outside the city, there is also an elite cavalry battalion stationed within the family!
In this place, the saint has tried many times to break into the interior. Unfortunately, she gave up after a few tries.
But he never thought that one day he would be able to walk into this mysterious city!
It's a pity that these people didn't give the saint a chance to watch the city carefully.
Since the carriage entered the city. The carriage flew straight to the original old governor's mansion. Next, just get off the carriage. Several soldiers rushed forward. Under the threat of the cold scimitar, the saint had no room to resist, and was led into this abandoned Governor's Mansion by these people...
Follow a dark tunnel in the old house in the abandoned land. Although there are torches erected on both sides, there is still an uncomfortable damp smell here.
Finally, after walking through an iron fence gate. Those soldiers with ferocious expressions like wolves and tigers did not follow any more, and pointed coldly in front of the iron gate, signaling the saint to continue walking inside.
Although the saint's face remained calm. But there was an unavoidable panic in my heart.
Finally, at the end of this secret path. She saw Du Wei.
Du Wei was wearing a black magician's robe, which was a special black robe that symbolized the bachelor of magic in his magic union. It also wears a magic badge representing the members of the Magic Academy.
Du Wei watched the saint walk in coldly, his face was indifferent and majestic. He raised his chin slightly, his expression was cold. As cruel as a king!
Her Royal Highness had never seen Du Wei show such an expression before, so she was a little flustered, but soon, the woman forced herself to calm down. She even squeezed out a smile: "Du Wei, I have come as you "summoned". May I ask Grand Duke Tulip. Is there anything special?"
Du Wei's expression was indifferent, without a smile on his face. Pointing to a table next to him, he said coldly, "Sit down."
The saint looked at the table, and there was actually a crystal bottle. The amber liquid in the bottle is obviously a high-quality wine.
The saint smiled: "Is it possible that the Duke is so far away? Let me catch you. Do you want me to drink with you?"
Du Wei didn't answer this sentence, but sat down first, picked up the bottle with his own hands, and filled the glasses of both of them. Without saying a word, he picked up his own glass and drank it down.
The saint's expression was a little unnatural. But she also picked up the cup and drank with Du Wei. After putting down the glass. She smiled charmingly on her face: "It's a pity. Although the wine is good wine, but Du Wei... don't you like drinking in this dark dungeon?"
"I don't have that habit." Du Wei's voice was the same as his expression today. It looked cold and hard.
"Hehe..." The saint smiled: "Then, Grand Duke Tulip, do you like to dress so grandly when drinking?"
"I don't have this habit either." Du Wei still shook his head coldly: "What I hate the most is dressing myself up. But today is an exception."
"Why, why?" The saint felt that Du Wei's coldness did not appear to be a disguise.
Du Wei's eyes finally fixed on the face of the saint: "Because of two reasons: first, today I am going to do a bad thing that I don't even like! Second... I came here today in full dress for To show my respect to you—watching a princess being tortured, I think I should dress more grandly anyway."
The last sentence, the undisguised chill, stunned the saint.
After a long time, the saint forced a smile: "You... are you joking?"
"Maybe I usually like to joke, but not today." Du Wei raised his eyelids and glanced at Verona coldly: "Especially after I lost hundreds of loyal and brave subordinates!"
Ding!
The saint shook her hand, and a crystal cup fell to the floor and shattered.
Du Wei leaned over slowly, and suddenly pinched the saint's chin. There was undisguised cruelty in his eyes!
"Verona! Your Majesty! I think, do you still remember that year's New Year, that night in the imperial capital, in that dilapidated tavern, the two of us once drank together?"
"I... I remember." The saint said with difficulty, her chin was pinched by Du Wei, but she didn't break free.
"So, do you remember what I warned you at the beginning?" Du Wei's eyes gradually turned cold: "If you fight against me, you will only end up with two results, either death or an ugly death!"
Saintess: "..."
"It seems that you have forgotten my warning at that time!" Du Wei looked at the saint intently, and finally, he let go of his hand. He squeezed very hard, and there were even a few red finger marks on the delicate chin of the saint: "I have always disliked you as a woman, but I feel that you are actually very pitiful."
Du Wei filled a glass of wine on his own: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with you, but you happened to be born into a royal family, and you happened to be the daughter of His Royal Highness Yawen. Everything after that happened It doesn't have much to do with you young girl... yeah, you just want revenge, you want revenge."
The saint didn't speak.
"I think you are very pitiful, so I haven't dealt with you much. Even if you almost ruined my business at that auction. Even if you came to the northwest and made some small moves on my territory... Huh, let Let me think about it... You tried to win over some people in the religious center in the northwest, right? You also tried to use the name of preaching to confuse my army, and you even tried to seduce the generals in our army... Unfortunately, you failed. Right! You see, in fact, I have mastered everything you did in the northwest! Later, Miss Delly infiltrated from my Gilliat city and made such a farce, and you also helped a lot in the middle Busy... At least I passed some news to her! But I endured it! Verona, my holy lady! It's because I am kind, I think you are a poor girl, and... all your previous methods have failed And it didn't cause me any loss."
