The raging wind slapped the white-painted exterior windows made of thick wooden boards, and the wind that penetrated through the gaps in the windows made a "hissing" sound.
The window was filled with the sound of howling wind. Listening to this annoying sound, Enleco secretly guessed what was happening to Bashan and the other people in the tribe who lived at the foot of the mountain.
After living in the City in the Clouds for a few days, Enleco finally understood why the old man told him that Montita was not as peaceful and harmonious as he imagined.
There is a warm and comfortable room in the City in the Cloud. The thick walls withstand the raging wind. A pot of mutton is slowly simmering on the stove in the kitchen. The aroma wafts out from the kitchen, filling the whole room. .
Living in the city in the clouds, storms cannot stop people from moving. If you feel bored, you can go out and walk around. Almost everyone here knows that he is the new master of weapons manufacturing.
Even under the shroud of the storm, the people living in the City in the Clouds never stopped socializing and having fun. The internal passage extending in all directions connected the entire city.
Although he has only lived here for a few days, Enleco has clearly felt that there are huge differences between the people living here and other Montita people.
For the Montita people, the city in the clouds is tantamount to heaven, and these Montita people living in paradise are like apostles favored by the gods and allowed to enter heaven.
Most of the people here follow the rules and do not have the boldness and wildness of the grassland people at all. Apparently they are so afraid of doing something wrong that they are exiled and driven to the grassland to face the terrifying wolves and the more terrible ones. Horrible storm.
After talking to the people around him, Enleco finally understood why there had never been nobles in Montita.
Even kings and queens are just positions for the Montita people, and it does not mean that they are essentially more noble than ordinary people.
He had not noticed at first that when talking about the king and queen, whether it was the old man or others, they never added the honorific title "Your Majesty" after them.
Enleco was even more surprised to find that even the attendants and guards standing next to him called each other "you" and "I" when facing the king. On the contrary, the soldiers often called themselves respectfully when they saw him. for you".
It seems that as a master weapon maker, he can make them respect him more than the king.
In just a few days, Enleco learned a lot about the customs and habits here, but as his understanding deepened, he became increasingly confused.
For some things, he could completely understand, but for other things, it was obviously beyond the scope of his imagination. He felt more and more like he didn't belong here.
Having just walked around the City in the Cloud, Enleco lingered for a long time in the silk brocade weaving workshop area on the east side of the city. Whether in the Kaoqi Kingdom, Sophien, or Leiding, he saw countless Gorgeous brocades and exquisite silks, it can be said that the upper class there is carefully wrapped in this expensive material.
In fact, he himself was once an object wrapped in this expensive material, and that bad experience made him unable to look back.
On the contrary, in the Kingdom of Montita, he rarely saw clothes made entirely of silk. Silk was at most spliced into the brightest and most conspicuous parts of the clothing.
However, this expensive fabric actually comes from the Kingdom of Montita. Furthermore, the exquisite silk that wraps the entire world comes from the City in the Clouds.
This couldn't help but make Enleco feel puzzled. Enleco was full of curiosity about the City in the Clouds, but many places were forbidden to him.
With Enleco's ability, it would be easy to sneak into those so-called forbidden areas, but Enleco did not intend to do so because he had received too much hospitality from the Montita people.
Most of this hospitality made Enleco very satisfied, but some left him deeply confused.
When he was settled that night, the old man sent four beautiful maids to serve him, but the so-called maids in the Montita Kingdom were obviously completely different from other countries.
Fortunately, Enleco discovered this matter in time, and he politely declined the old man's kindness. To Enleco's expectation, the maids seemed to have been humiliated, with gloomy expressions and looked very ugly.
Back home, the rich aroma of mutton made Enleco's index finger tickle. Lila, a little girl, was really good at her craftsmanship, which made him feel extremely lucky.
Enleco heard the sounds of weapons chopping into the air in the inner room. It was obvious that the little girl was practicing martial arts alone, which was the skill he taught her last night.
Just when Enleco was about to fill his stomach, there was a sudden knock on the door.
When he opened the door, what surprised him was that it was the prince who came.
"How come His Royal Highness the Prince has time to come to the humble residence?" Enleco asked respectfully. After all, he was not a Montita person. Of course, he spoke in a way that he was already accustomed to, so unknowingly, behind the Prince The honorific title of His Highness was added.
"Mr. Le Cres, is it convenient for you to receive me?" said the young prince.
"Please come in." After Enleco turned sideways to let Prince Darke in, he said, "What a coincidence. I just came back from outside."
"I saw you came back. I've been waiting outside for a while." This answer surprised Enleco.
But what surprised Enleco even more was that the prince suddenly listened for a while and said, "Someone is practicing martial arts in your house. Can I appreciate it?"
Enleco's heart suddenly jumped. If His Highness the Prince saw Lila's martial arts, it would be very difficult for him not to be suspicious.
"Lila, a guest is here." Enleco raised his voice and said, he turned his head and smiled at His Highness the Prince, and said: "It's my little maid, she is also my apprentice and assistant, I asked her to help Try the newly made weapon to see if it fits your hand."
As Enleco was talking, Lila had already walked out of the inner room.
The little girl is no longer dressed like a tomboy. What she is wearing now is very similar to the long dress the tribe wore on the day they worshiped the demon they worshiped.
The only difference was that the small, beautiful-looking dagger originally pinned to her waist was replaced by a simple-looking scimitar. This was the weapon she had pestered Enleco to re-forge for her.
The prince glanced at Lila, but his more attention was obviously on the scimitar. "You have made another one." The prince said, looking at the scimitar.
"Yes." Enleco replied simply.
"Mr. Le Cres, I heard that you rejected the maid given to you, and also rejected all the assistants. As a foreigner, I can completely understand why you rejected the maid. This kind of thing has happened several times in the past, but Why did you refuse the assistant? Are you afraid that others will plagiarize your skills?" the prince asked.
"You misunderstood. Maybe everyone has misunderstood me. I am not an expert in making weapons as you and the old gentleman who led me here think."
While imagining a lie that could be told, Enleco said: "There are many experts in making weapons in Leiding. What they pursue is the perfect craftsmanship. What they focus on is whether the swords they make are sharp. In battle, Is it easy to break, and how powerful it can be."
Enleco looked at His Highness the Prince's puzzled look and was secretly happy. According to past experience, to make others believe his lies, in addition to the fact that the lie itself must appear unpredictable and unexpected, he must also confuse other people's minds in advance. It's a complete mess, and it's also the only way to do it.
Enleco continued: "What I care about most is not the quality of the weapon itself. What I care about is what kind of warrior my weapon is in the hands of, so that he can exert the most powerful combat effectiveness."
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered what he had heard at Gorslow's camp in the desert and that cheeky little girl.
With a flash of inspiration, Enleco finally had a perfect set of words.
He said: "Your Highness, you are an outstanding warrior. You should know very well how difficult it is for a top warrior to seek further breakthroughs, and possessing a powerful weapon is almost equivalent to martial arts. Suddenly It’s taken it up a notch.”
"But powerful weapons, such as those magic weapons with special powers, are simply rare. What's more, even if you are extremely lucky to get a magic weapon, that weapon may not be suitable for the martial arts originally practiced by the recipient. "
"Faced with this dilemma, some warriors even re-trained their martial arts for the weapon they finally obtained. Even I have to admire the perseverance and determination of these warriors."
Speaking of this, Enleco suddenly thought of that cheeky little girl Shilea. She is the best proof.
"Because of this, I gave up this path a long time ago. I don't intend to deliberately build an extremely powerful weapon. What I want to build is a weapon that can best enable the user to exert his own power."
Enleco waved and motioned for Lila to take off the scimitar from her waist.
He gently pulled out the scimitar from the scabbard. The silver coating on the scimitar shone with a gorgeous and charming light under the light.
"As you can see, this scimitar looks very strange. It can never be made by any of my compatriots, except for the great wizard Master Kalit. Maybe he will agree with me. This It’s not because of my blind confidence or arrogance, but because for most weapon-making masters, this weapon allows them to find countless flaws.”
"In order to achieve a tougher purpose, this scimitar is made of a slightly softer material. The blade is too thin and light. Other weapon-making masters would never choose this structure. The arc of the blade is so large that it is not conducive to cutting with force. , and the attack distance is also greatly shortened.”
"According to the rules of the earthquake, this is an unqualified weapon. A true master of weapon making will make the weapon not only tough but also hard and sharp. The blade will not be too thin and light, and the curvature will not be too thin." It won’t be too big, it will be a perfect scimitar, and in their opinion, it is suitable for all warriors.”
"But I'm different. I don't care who gets the weapons I build. What I care about is that the weapons I build can enable what kind of warriors to display their most superb strength."
"I have traveled more than half of the world and met all kinds of warriors. You Montita people are good at riding horses. In your martial arts, chopping and stabbing are not often used. Instead, there are countless cutting techniques. The scimitar I made is the most suitable weapon for this kind of martial arts."
"It is not used to block head-on confrontation with others, nor is it used to cut into heavy armor and cause damage to the opponent. It should fly lightly and jump, looking for targets in the opponent's vital points and joints. It should be used Easily slit the enemy's throat instead of decapitating him."
"The reason why I don't need other assistants is because they will only ruin my affairs. You should know very well how difficult it is to change a person's habits. Those assistants have long been accustomed to using their thinking to build weapons. They will Unknowingly, when I needed them to make the blade thinner, they gently lowered the hammer, and when I only needed a slight hammering, they hammered hard as usual. What's more, most of the time, Even I don’t know what kind of weapon I want to build. As I stood next to the anvil, what I was thinking about was a certain warrior I had seen before and the martial arts skills he was good at.”
"For me, inspiration far exceeds the craftsmanship itself. Those assistants who stand aside can do nothing except hinder the generation of inspiration. So I don't want assistants, I don't want any assistants, I am a lonely person Builder, solitude allows me to forge good weapons.”
The prince was obviously deeply attracted by these remarks. This was really the most brilliant insight he had ever heard.
In fact, he had talked closely with all the master builders in the Cloud City. Although they knew the craftsmanship very well, in the eyes of the prince, they were all just excellent craftsmen.
The young Ledding man in front of him gave him a completely different impression. He was undoubtedly an artist, an outstanding artist who pursued perfection but was also full of loneliness and loneliness.
No one in his field could understand his views and opinions, and he could not even find a like-minded person.
His Royal Highness the Prince can understand this kind of loneliness and loneliness, because the person he admires most is an ancient hero who is full of loneliness and loneliness.
One feels lonely and isolated because he cannot find a match; the other feels lonely and lonely because he cannot be understood.
His Royal Highness the Prince secretly guessed that maybe if two people lived in the same era, they would no longer feel lonely. Maybe they could try to cooperate and create something that would shock the world.
It's a pity that the long river of time has separated the two of them for five hundred years. One is upstream, and the other is downstream.
"You are the greatest person I have ever seen. I believe that one day you will be able to surpass the great wizard Kalit." The prince said with infinite sincerity.
"By the way, you said that you have traveled to most places in the world, and you have such extraordinary craftsmanship. I am extremely curious. When did you start learning to make weapons, and when did you start to get such inspiration? What about your age? Your age really surprises me."
Hearing what His Highness the Prince said, and seeing the prince's eyes full of reverence, Enleco secretly wondered if he had gone too far again this time. If the little girl Xiling was around, I'm afraid she would have to be right again He hurt himself.
Enleco wanted to hide it now, but it was obviously too late. He could only say calmly: "My family has made a living by making weapons for generations. I have spent time next to the stone mill since I was four years old, and started pulling the wind furnace at the age of eight. For me at that time, it was extremely hard work.”
“From the age of ten, I was able to build small things, and that was where my inspiration and my whims came from, but my family didn’t understand my ideas, they thought I was deviant, and they were convinced that I wasn’t fit to stand next to the fire. "
"My family also runs a weapons store. This is the case for most of the building families in Ledin. I was assigned to my uncle and traveled with him to run the family business. Although this made me stay away from the family, it did not make me angry. I am far away from the fire; on the contrary, I am left to my own devices without any supervision.”
Enleco's words made the prince even more admired, because his martial arts skills were carefully taught and taught by many elders with superb martial arts skills.
When his martial arts surpassed all his teachers, but Montita was not a more advanced master who had already understood the true meaning of martial arts, he had to improve his strength through self-exploration and practice.
In recent years, this prince has been pursuing self-breakthrough. No one knows better than him how difficult it would be to find true knowledge without the guidance of a teacher.
And the Leding man in front of him, who was much younger than himself, had obviously found the true knowledge.
Even in his opinion, the unique insights possessed by Little Laidin far exceeded any other weapon-making master he knew. Perhaps he was quite close to the realm of the Great Mage Kalit.
His Royal Highness the Prince admired him from the bottom of his heart. In just a moment, he had regarded Enleco as his closest friend.
In the next few hours, the two young people talked about everything. Enleco felt a little restrained at first. In his mind, as long as he was related to the royal family, he would inevitably feel this restrained. The only The only exception is when she stays with Chrissy. Chrissy doesn't really smell like a member of the royal family.
However, the enthusiasm of His Royal Highness Prince Montita quickly made Enleco feel relaxed. He reminded Enleco of Kate who was far away in his hometown.
In a sense, the two of them have many similarities, but in comparison, Kate seems a little more old-fashioned. Perhaps this is related to the knight education he received since childhood.
Although the knight education in Sophien Kingdom successfully shaped his strong spiritual will, it also burdened him with many constraints.
And this prince obviously has no restraint at all. It seems that Montita's royal family has more freedom and vitality than Sophie's ordinary knight family. This realization makes Enleco feel deeply have no choice.
To be honest, Enleco liked this relaxed and peaceful atmosphere very much. Soon, he and His Royal Highness started talking about everything.
"By the way, who is the old man who introduced me to the City in the Clouds? Why is everyone so respectful to him? Even your father, His Majesty the Supreme King, respectfully calls that old man 'you'? According to As far as I know, such a title is not common." Enleco asked in confusion.
"Of course, my father cannot help but respect him no matter what. After all, he is my father's most distinguished father-in-law. As for why others respect him so much, it is because he once served as the king of Montita. After abdicating the throne, he He always travels around Montita and often goes to the herdsmen to collect their requests and opinions. Because of this, he is more respected by everyone now than when he was sitting on the throne of the king." The prince said with a smile.
This answer shocked Enleco. He really could not have imagined that it would be such a result.
That old man turned out to be King Montita of the previous generation, and the great mage Cecilia was his daughter.
Enleco did find it a bit incredible that such a legendary figure could appear so ordinary.
"Didn't your little maid tell you my grandfather's identity?" the prince asked. Enleco looked at Lila. The little girl didn't even have a trace of panic, she just lowered her head.
"Sometimes I really want to teach her a lesson." Enleco said helplessly.
"Haha, I can see that you still can't adapt to everything here. You actually asked the priest to heal your maid. To be honest, many people thought you were too rude at the time. Fortunately, my grandfather explained it to you." His Highness the Prince said with a smile. He looked extremely happy, as if what he said was a funny joke.
"Is this rude?" Enleco asked in confusion.
"Montita is no better than you Lading. Those who can cast sacred magic are all elders here. You should understand now how ridiculous your request is in Montita." The prince smiled and patted Enlai. Ke's shoulder: "What's more, you used a whip to whip your woman, originally to teach her a lesson, but now you let the priest heal her injuries, doesn't it mean that you have not achieved the purpose of teaching her at all?"
"Isn't it said that the person who gives the whipping should also take care of the person who is whipped until she recovers?" Enleco asked immediately, and he began to suspect that he had been deceived by the entire tribe.
But what he didn't expect was that His Royal Highness the Prince actually nodded: "Yes, this is indeed Montita's law. This is to avoid malicious abuse and excessive punishment. For Montita, every day Every human being is extremely precious and we will never allow malicious harm and abuse.”
The prince turned his head to look at Lila, then shook his head and said: "However, you obviously misunderstood the meaning of care. My friend, you must know that you are the husband. In Montita, the husband is the head of the family, the head of the family." He should have the dignity of the head of the family.”
"In Montita, the husband's care for his woman is to find ways to keep her fed, clothed, protected from danger, and to maintain her dignity in the tribe. The woman must serve her husband carefully and bear children for him. Raise children, cook for him, mend clothes, and if a woman makes a mistake, give her a whip at the right time so that she will never make the same mistake again.”
"If my woman does something wrong, I will let her silently recite her mistake while letting her accept the punishment. After the punishment is over, she will have to serve me and her sisters-my remaining wives. We will review her performance to determine if she has truly learned her lesson."
His Highness the Prince's words made Enleco secretly stunned. He never expected that the Montitas would be so harsh on his wife, but he was secretly glad that Chrissy did not hear these words, otherwise he would be the one who would be in trouble.
"I didn't pay too much attention at the time, so I was too harsh." Enleco shook his head and said.
"Looking at you, you can't be too cruel." The prince shook his head and said: "Being knocked unconscious, splashed with cold water to wake up, knocked out again, splashed to wake up again, back and forth several times, this is For us Montita people, it’s a common occurrence. Who hasn’t been beaten like this as a child? It’s the same for both boys and girls.”
"At that time, we didn't have to endure the pain to get up and do things. After all, whipping was a wound on the flesh and could not hurt the muscles and bones. Although it would be painful if the muscles were affected, it did not mean that we could not move. For us Montita people, this A painful experience can make us remember our mistakes firmly in our hearts. Although the short-term pain during the whipping is severe, it is not impressive enough."
"And in order to make the wound heal quickly and at the same time deepen the impression, we also have a special recipe. Applying goat urine and some salt to the wound is an excellent way to heal the injury quickly. Doubling the pain is obviously very bad for memory. It helps, and this is probably the best way for people to remember the lesson.”
His Highness the Prince's words made Enleco tremble with fear. He was convinced that he would never be so cruel.
"So, I have to apologize to the respected pastor for making such a rude request." Enleco said quickly.
His Royal Highness the Prince waved his hand and said: "No need, no need, it is my sister who treats your wife's injuries. No other priest is willing to do this."
This answer was obviously far beyond Enleco's expectation. He definitely did not expect that it was Her Royal Highness the Princess who was doing the work.
"Can you take me to meet your sister? I want to express my gratitude in person." Enleco said sincerely.
"No need, anyway, for her, it is her duty to save everyone. My sister is quite strange. Maybe she has stayed in Sophie for too long, so she no longer looks like a Montita. She He even announced in public that he would serve her god for the rest of his life, rather than choose to serve her husband." His Highness the Prince slowly shook his head and said, his face full of helplessness.
"Does Montita not allow this to happen?" Enleco asked in confusion. He did not have a thorough understanding of Montita's customs.
"Logically speaking, women in Montita are absolutely not allowed not to get married. If they don't choose a husband when they reach the age, the tribe will choose a husband for her, otherwise they will be expelled. In the City in the Clouds, It is my father, the Chief Minister, who plays the role of arbiter."
"But my sister is somewhat special after all. She has special powers and can perform sacred magic. She enjoys many privileges. However, when the City in the Cloud was first established, it was determined that the elders' personal issues and the judge's ruling would not have any influence. .”
"My sister was very smart to announce her decision after becoming an elder. Although her decision was fundamentally contrary to Montita's, it was her own private matter after all. Her refusal to get married would make many young people unhappy. It's sad, but it won't affect anyone else's interests, so my father doesn't have the authority to govern this matter." His Highness the Prince said with a wry smile and shook his head.
"You seem to be very helpless about your sister."
"Yes, everyone in the City in the Clouds has nothing to do with this girl. She is very stubborn - exactly the same as her mother, and she has unimaginable magical talent, but she chooses to serve the gods. Everyone Everyone feels sorry for this, because this girl had great hope of becoming the second great mage of Montita." His Royal Highness the Prince sighed.
"I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess once brought back a Holy Grail when she followed Her Majesty the Queen back to Montita." Enleco said tentatively, his heart pounding nervously.
"You are talking about that thing! In my opinion, that thing is not a cup, it is a..." The prince gestured with his hands for a long time, but in the end he couldn't find a suitable way to describe it.
"Oh - why don't I take you to see it with your own eyes? It's a pretty strange thing, but I'm warning you, don't get involved with her. That thing is very troublesome." The prince shook his head helplessly and said, Judging from his expression, he was quite distressed.
But Enleco was extremely excited. He never expected that things would go so smoothly.
Although he had sensed the existence of the Holy Grail and even knew its location, Enleco did not intend to act rashly without knowing the inside story.
After all, he didn't know what kind of terrifying mechanism lurked where the Holy Grail was hidden, let alone what kind of restrictions the great mage Cecelia had placed on it.
Enleco knew very well that there might only be one chance to steal. If he failed, the great wizard Cecilia would definitely strengthen his defenses.
Neither Enleco nor Chris intends to snatch the Holy Grail from Cecelia's hands.
For Chrissy, what restrained her was the promise she made back then, but for Enleco, he didn't like robbing by nature, and stealing was already the limit of his moral code.
Along the way, Enleco guessed all the things that might happen and the secret arrangements he might see.
While walking behind His Highness the Prince, he recalled the lessons about traps and traps that Joe gave him in the camp outside Sophien.
The same knowledge about magic traps, magic circles, and special barriers was also brought out from the depths of his mind. Enleco knew very well that it was very important to be fully prepared before taking action.
But when he saw the Holy Grail with his own eyes, he was still shocked.
What surprised him was not how secretly the Holy Grail was hidden, nor how terrifying the mechanism was guarding it, nor what was surprising about it, nor was it the fact that the great mage Cecilia had set up a powerful magic circle there.
In fact, there was nothing defensive or protective around the Holy Grail. It was placed openly and openly on a pedestal as tall as one person in the center.
To be fair, that thing really doesn't look like a cup. If you really want to associate it with a cup, it is also a squashed cup.
The holy grail is only as high as the palm of a hand, and the mouth of the cup is also the size of a palm. The bottom is very shallow, only as deep as two fingers, and the base and pillars are coiled with spiral threads.
The entire Holy Grail shone with dazzling golden light, just like the magical temple on Pirate Island. Enleco was convinced that it was not because of the material, but a kind of magical energy that he didn't know.
Following His Royal Highness, Enleco slowly walked up the stone steps. All his attention was focused on the Holy Grail. This was the purpose of his trip.
He had an impulse to grab the Holy Grail and run away. Here, no one can stop his escape.
However, the warm hospitality of the Montita people and His Highness the Prince's sincere recommendation of him made Enleco unforgettable. To be honest, the enthusiasm of His Highness the Prince made him no longer afraid of members of the royal family.
Repaying kindness with revenge is obviously not something Enleco can do. He is even thinking hard now about how to obtain the secret of eternal life from the Holy Grail, so that he can give Chris an explanation.
It would be a shame to steal the Holy Grail from these enthusiastic Montita people.
Enleco can completely feel the sincerity of the Montita people, which is completely different from his original experience in the Kingdom of Leiding.
In the Kingdom of Leiding, I also received warm hospitality, and tasted countless delicacies along the way.
But at that time, Enleco didn't think that Taimuer was sincerely inviting him and his companions.
He originally guessed that these Laiding people had other desires for him, but he didn't know that his identity had already been exposed.
It was completely different from the Kingdom of Leiding. Every day he lived in Montita, Enleco was worried that his identity would be exposed. However, every day he lived here made him feel a rare warmth.
The grasslands here have nurtured a group of simple and sincere people. Although it is difficult for him to understand many aspects of them, or even unacceptable at all, Enleco really likes this place.
Life is traveling, and living while traveling, everyone is working hard for a group, and everyone works together to spend a peaceful and peaceful day.
Enleco slowly approached the Holy Grail. He could clearly see every line on it, as well as the mysterious magic patterns and spells.
The surface of this Holy Grail was engraved with countless magic patterns. What surprised Enleco was that these magic patterns were constantly rotating and changing. These magic patterns seemed to be alive. Enleco could even clearly feel the signs of life. It was an unpredictable fluctuation and an incomprehensible oscillation. Enleco wanted to touch it gently with his hand. However, he did not dare to make mistakes easily, because His Royal Highness the Prince was standing beside him.
Suddenly, there was a clear and melodious jingle from the Holy Grail, as if it was a piece of beautiful music, echoing in this sacred hall.
Just when Enleco felt strange, suddenly, a very cute little head stuck out from the edge of the cup.
Like the Holy Grail, his whole body shone with brilliant golden light, and he had a pair of crystal clear sapphire eyes, which stared closely at Enleco, the uninvited guest.
Enleco also stared at the little thing curiously.
Like the elves, the little thing had a pair of pointed ears, which reminded Enleco of the elves in the Sky City and the immortal slave who unfortunately had his ears touched.
To be honest, Enleco did miss her a little, but from the bottom of his heart, he prayed that the elf would never find his whereabouts.
Having learned from the past, Enleco did not intend to touch this little thing's ears again. Who dares to say that the God of Wisdom did not instill the customs and habits of the elves into him when he created him? .
Enleco was sure of one thing. He didn't need to be whipped to remind himself of the mistakes he had made. He was confident that he would never make the same mistake.
But he didn't know that he had no reason to be so confident. In addition to touching ears, there were other ways to express love in this world.
Enleco slowly rotated around the Holy Grail, and the little thing also rotated along with it. It was obvious that he was quite interested in this sudden stranger.
From that delicate face, Enleco could not guess the gender of the little thing. When he was singing the bell, he had not succeeded in distinguishing the male and female elves. They were almost exactly the same. But once you think about the fact that there is only one such strange life form in the world, then there is nothing to guess about the gender of this little thing.
Enleco hoped that the little thing could stick out some more of its body so that he could observe it carefully, but the little thing seemed to be very timid and a little shy. It just had a head popping up with a pair of sapphire eyes shining tightly. Stare at him closely.
"You have seen it. This is what you want to see. What do you call it? Does it look like a cup?" His Highness the Prince standing aside said with a smile.
The little thing obviously understood everything the prince said. He immediately puffed up his cheeks and glared at His Highness the prince viciously. That look was really interesting.
"Why is it enshrined here?" Enleco asked. He looked around and realized that this was not a place where the God of Wisdom was enshrined.
The surrounding area of the church is empty and neat, with a high ceiling and soft sunlight shining straight down. There are several huge magic arrays on the ground, but they are not used to deal with the enemy, but to communicate with the gods. , a device needed to summon powerful sacred magic.
Although Enleco cannot perform sacred magic, he knows a lot about sacred magic and can definitely be called a theoretical expert on sacred magic.
On the one hand, this is because he has devoted a lot of effort to the development of the "holy water of life" manufacturing device. On the other hand, it is also because of the monster Most who lives in the depths of his soul. Holy magic is the nemesis of the demons. These The demons naturally also have a special understanding of sacred magic.
Enleco glanced at these sacred magic arrays. They all belong to the power of the goddess of life. In addition, there are no statues or reliefs here. Among the gods' beliefs, only the temple of the goddess of life does not need to enshrine her statue. For The worship of the goddess of life has already cured many patients.
This Holy Grail should be a creation of the God of Wisdom. Why is it placed in the palace of the Goddess of Life? Enleco was puzzled.
"Dear brother, why didn't you inform me in advance when you were bringing people to visit? I am the best tour guide here!" As a crisp and sweet voice sounded, the side door of the church was gently opened, revealing a beautiful girl. walked in.
For some reason, Enleco felt that the girl was so familiar to him, with an inexplicable sense of intimacy, but he wanted to keep away from her.
Enleco didn't know why he was so afraid until the girl walked up to him and showed a warm and peaceful smile.
At that moment, Enleco involuntarily took a step back in fear. This was completely a subconscious move, because he seemed to suddenly feel that Xi Ling's terrifying mother, the top leader of the Controller organization, was standing next to him. in front of my eyes.
But after Enleco calmed down, he realized that the girl in front of him and Xi Ling's mother had no resemblance in appearance.
The same is their temperament, the same noble and elegant, the same warmth and tranquility, and the faint smile is enough to calm any uneasy heart.
Enleco's reaction made both the prince and princess feel extremely strange.
In the prince's memory, almost every young man who saw his sister was attracted by her beauty and temperament. Even if occasionally one or two people could maintain their grace and rationality, they would show expressions of appreciation and envy.
Why does this friend from Leiding look fearful
The prince looked up and down at his sister. He couldn't see anything about her that was scary.
"Am I terrible?" Her Royal Highness the Princess asked softly, and her frankness surprised Enleco.
Enleco found another difference between the girl in front of him and the beautiful woman. After all, this princess is a Montita and has the unique straightforwardness of Montita.
"Oh - I was rude just now..." Enleco said vaguely, but he couldn't think of any words that could make up for it. "Perhaps we should say goodbye, Your Highness. I would like to see the legendary stone that you have been pondering over."
Enleco quickly made up his mind to escape, which was what he was best at.
The prince felt a little baffled. He could never figure out what the mystery was, but he did not intend to continue to ask. What's more, he originally wanted to take this new friend to see the big rock.
Having understood the true meaning of weapon making, he might also be able to see some ideas from it. Even if you still can't understand the mystery, it's good to have some hints.
His Royal Highness the Prince has so much confidence in Enleco. In addition to what Enleco said just now, which made him feel unpredictable and profound, Enleco once said that he has traveled around the world and met many warriors. This is also an important s reason.
His Royal Highness had long thought of escaping from the City in the Clouds. Unfortunately, the people in the City in the Clouds had already learned their lesson from his mother. The surrounding guards were so tight that he had no chance of escaping.
Because of this, when he heard Enleco's lies, although he felt unfair that his new friend was full of talents but could not be understood by his family, he was also deeply envious. You can freely travel around the world and learn about the lives of warriors all over the world.
Unknowingly, the prince regarded his new friend Lading as the embodiment of his dream.
Walking along the corridor to the west side of the city, the storm was still raging along the way, and the heavy downpour turned a large square into a pond, with sparkling waves in the pond.
The big stone was exposed to the wind and rain, and the heavy rain pounded against the stone wall. The attendants brought them umbrellas, but they were of no use in the storm.
Enleco looked up at the huge rock. It was difficult for him to guess how these words were carved on it. The words on the stone wall are just like Tomur's martial arts, sharp and full of edge. It's a pity that Enleco didn't recognize any of the words on it.
The words written on the stone wall were simply a mess to him.
"I don't understand. Are these all Montita texts? Why are they completely different from the Montita texts I have seen?" Enleco asked in confusion.
"This is glyph, one of the oldest writings. We rarely use this kind of writing today. Reading and writing glyph requires memorizing tens of thousands of different letters, which is a huge project. It takes a lot of time to learn.”
"The current Montita script was originally used to mark the pronunciation of glyphs. Your compatriot, the Saint from Leiding, created this script. This script is easy to learn because each The Montitas all know how to speak, and writing and reading are just transformations of language and symbols."
His Royal Highness the Prince smiled and said: "You Leding people are indeed smart. Without him, today's Montita would probably still be in the barbaric age."
"Yes, I am indeed proud of my compatriots, but can you explain the above text to me? If I can't understand these heavenly books, I will be of no help to you." Enleco pointed to the stone wall and said .
"Sorry, my friend, I am not the best translator. The characteristic of glyphs is conciseness and conciseness, and simple sentences often contain profound connotations."
"With my ability, I can only make you understand the literal explanation, but Tomur is obviously a master of language. His sentences contain more profound and obscure meanings. I can understand these meanings myself, but let me say it, It's obviously a bit difficult." The prince shook his head helplessly and said.
But he immediately continued: "My friend, I will ask a real master later to explain to you the words written above. You can study these words patiently in your room. I invite you to come here. I just want you to visit this legendary stone. Although you are not a warrior, the experience left by the greatest warrior in the Magic Empire era should be enough to excite you."
Enleco was noncommittal. Of course he could see that the prince's worship of Tomur was somewhat obsessive.
In fact, Enleco wanted to tell him that he had stayed with the most powerful magician of that era for two full years, and served him for two full years.
But in his opinion, that great hero with boundless power was actually just a bad old man who was just waiting to die.
As for this superb warrior, his memory and skills have all become an inseparable part of him through the "dark red teardrop".
Enleco looked at the big stone calmly, and suddenly his attention was attracted by the raindrops next to it.
The front of the boulder also turned into a pond in the storm. They stood in the middle of the pond, with raindrops hitting the water and causing ripples.
Among the ripples, you can vaguely see some shadows floating slowly, which are images left by the uneven ground.
If Enleco had not had Tomur's memory, he would never have noticed these inconspicuous things.
Similarly, if he were not standing in the pouring rain, the slight unevenness on the ground would not attract his attention.
"Is this where Tomur finally lived in seclusion?" Enleco asked softly. "How did you guess it?" His Highness the Prince asked.
"If he lived here in seclusion in his later years and has been practicing martial arts in front of this huge stone, then could these tiny pits on the ground be the traces left by him when he practiced martial arts? I feel like the shadows in the rain are like One footprint after another, these footprints can even be completely connected together."
Enleco's words shocked the prince. He stared at the rain for a long time. Suddenly, he threw away the umbrella in his hand and ran quickly towards a shadow.
Stepping on the footprints with his own feet, the prince looked for the next trace. One after another, His Highness the Prince spun around as if dancing happily in the storm.
Sometimes he dashes across a series of shadows quickly, sometimes hesitantly stops and thinks for a long time, then puts down the foot he has been holding, sometimes takes a few steps back, and returns to the place where he landed last time.
With the clumsy and nimble dance steps, the prince's expression became more and more excited and fanatical. His eyes were radiating with scorching light, as if they were going to dry up all the rainwater.
Suddenly, His Highness the Prince looked up to the sky and roared, his roar filled with uncontrollable joy and excitement.
Everyone who heard the whistle seemed to feel the same joy and excitement, and the people around them gathered around.
Just as everyone looked at their first prince in surprise, something even more surprising happened.
The prince suddenly knelt down in the rain. He looked up to the sky, his face was full of tears of excitement, his hands were tightly clasped, his expression was full of piety.
Enleco had no way of guessing who the prince was praying to, whether it was the God of Wisdom who gave him wisdom, the God of War who was in charge of force, or Tomur's spirit in heaven who left these footprints.
