Chapter 18: call

Views:

The exhausted Enleco lay down on his chest. She (he) can finally have a good rest. Today she (he) is really too tired. Not only does she have to deal with those noble ladies endlessly, but she (he) is even more annoying that Hagrid is always around her (him). This guy never stops. He had to stick to himself, and according to the agreement between Heguero's mother and Kobe Leo, he had no right to refuse all this. Now Enleco is full of troubles and depression

In another corner of the capital, two people were talking happily. These two people were His Majesty the Emperor Horcos III and the Great Mage Kobe Leo.

In fact, the great wizard Kobe Leo came to the palace before noon. He came here for his "niece" Miss Fenasia. He wanted to apply for an invitation from the Royal Banquet Preparatory Office for this lady. Although in terms of his status, he could just say a casual word. That's okay, but Kobe Leo decided to make a trip in person.

The invitations were quickly prepared, and the royal emcee personally and respectfully handed the invitations to Kobe Leo's hands.

The Great Mage Kobe Leo was about to leave, but he didn't expect that an inner court attendant came from the palace. This inner court attendant conveyed His Majesty's decree, asking the Great Mage to enter the palace to see him as soon as possible.

Full of doubts, Kobe Leo followed the waiter to the palace, where he saw the young Emperor Hercules III carefully pruning a bunch of bright red roses by the fountain in the back garden. In front of the emperor stood a huge flat marble table.

And His Majesty the Emperor carefully selected the roses with the most gorgeous colors and the most graceful shapes and carefully placed them aside. Seeing His Majesty the Emperor carrying out this work with such concentration, Kobe Leo could only stand aside silently. Quiet enough to wait.

His Majesty the Emperor finally completed all the selection work, and he carefully matched the roses. Different shapes were combined in different forms to form completely different shapes. Kobe Leo saw that the roses that were originally the same in his eyes, were decorated by His Majesty the Emperor's skillful hands and immediately became beautiful works of art. Three unique rose ornaments with different characteristics were immediately displayed. In front of Kobe Leo.

His Majesty the Emperor gently held these three bouquets of floral ornaments in his hands, and as he chanted softly in a low voice, a stream of green energy rose from His Majesty's fingertips. Under the swagger of the sun, that ray of green energy shone with dazzling and brilliant light. Gradually, the green air gathered thicker and thicker, and finally gathered into an undulating cloud that gently enveloped the emperor's hand and the rosette he held.

As the fog dissipated, I saw that these three bouquets of rosettes had been firmly frozen in a piece of green ice.

The emperor admired his masterpiece with satisfaction. He turned back to Kobe Leo and said: "Kobe Leo, do you think these three flower decorations are beautiful? I got up early this morning to take care of these roses. Only the roses that still have dew in the morning are beautiful. Makes such perfect floral decorations.”

Kobe Leo could only express a few words of approval. Of course, he knew very well that His Majesty the Emperor would never specially invite him in just to let him admire these rosettes. He waited for Horkels III to further explain his intention of entering the palace.

Sure enough, after His Majesty the Emperor gently placed this perfect work of art on the table, he asked with great interest: "Kobe Li Aoqing, I heard someone said that Duke Haguero will come to you early this morning. There, aren't you two mortal enemies? Why is he interested in visiting you? "

Kobe Leo was not surprised at all that His Majesty the Emperor knew that Hagrid had visited him so quickly. Because he knew very well that His Majesty the Emperor was definitely not the plain, ineffectual character he appeared to be. On the contrary, although His Majesty the Emperor has a sharp edge, he does not reveal it, and the entire Vedsk has already been covered with various informants. It is quite difficult to completely cover up something. What's more, it would be strange for such huge news as a meeting between the leaders of two opposing factions in the imperial court not to reach the ears of His Majesty the Emperor immediately.

Kobe Leo decided to tell His Majesty the Emperor everything. Anyway, there were no secrets except a huge misunderstanding and another super joke. There is absolutely no need to hide it from His Majesty the Emperor. What's more, Kobe Leo also hopes to get His Majesty the Emperor's help. After all, he is also worried that Haguero, who is unwilling to give up, will entangle Enleco, so then he will need His Majesty the Emperor intervened. If we don't make it clear to His Majesty the Emperor now, given the congenial personalities of His Majesty the Emperor and Hegeero, he will most likely side with them. Besides, on the day of the banquet, Enleco had to appear in two completely different roles, a member of the Sophien Kingdom's envoy and Miss Fenasia. Without the secret help of His Majesty the Emperor, this would have been impossible.

Thinking of this, Kobe Leo straightened his expression and wanted to say everything, but unexpectedly, the words came to his lips, but he couldn't get out of his mouth. To be honest, as soon as he thought of the whole thing, Kobe Leo couldn't I couldn't help but want to laugh, but the effect of Mei Long's potion had obviously worn off long ago. At Heguero's house, Kobe Leo, who had been holding it in for a long time, had been holding back for a long time in front of Heguero's mother and the two people who were secretly eavesdropping, and now he couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This laughter completely confused His Majesty the Emperor. Although he had learned from his subordinates that Kobe Leo kept laughing for some unknown reason, he never expected that the symptoms would be so serious. Looking at Kobe Leo lying on the marble table with such a smile that he could hardly breathe. His Majesty the Emperor is really doubtful. He simply couldn't imagine anything so funny. But he was very patient, and he stood quietly waiting for Kobe Leo to return to normal.

Even His Majesty the Emperor has to admit that Kobe Leo's endurance is really great. He had never seen anyone laugh as loudly as Kobe Leo for so long. It was hard to wait until Kobe Leo stopped laughing crazily. He did not ask Kobe Leo to tell him everything immediately. Instead, he ordered the attendants in the palace to bring two chairs. After Kobe Leo sat down calmly, His Majesty the Emperor excitedly waited to hear from Kobe Leo. Leo told him everything, and the attendants had already learned enough to step aside.

Kobe Leo finally told His Majesty Emperor Horkels III the whole thing.

After hearing all this, the Supreme of the Kaoqi Kingdom couldn't help laughing, and because he and Hegeero were so familiar. There are many things that Kobe Leo may not know, but as a kid who grew up playing them, Horkels III knows it all too well. Regarding what kind of person Hegeelo is, and what exactly this guy thinks, and what this guy has been seeking, I am afraid that apart from Somilet and Hegeello’s mother, His Majesty the Emperor is the most Clear. His Majesty the Emperor knew 10% of what methods this Haguero and his resourceful and sociable mother would prepare to deal with Enleco. But the thing he cares about most now is definitely not these.

I saw that His Majesty the Emperor approached Kobe Leo mysteriously, smiled and asked curiously: "According to what you said, can't any of so many people see that Enleco is a man? "

Whenever Kobe Leo thought of this, he couldn't help laughing again, but this time he finally restrained himself. He shook his head repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty, have you never seen Enleco dressed up as There is no trace of a man in the woman's appearance. This guy is really suitable for a woman. Besides, you should know what kind of person Hegeero is. Is it possible for an ordinary girl to attract him? Based on this, you can imagine what Enleco looks like in women’s clothing.”

"I don't have the ability. I can't imagine what it would be like, but it doesn't matter. I just need to take a look for myself." His Majesty the Emperor said with great interest.

Hearing this, Kobe Leo quickly stopped and said: "No, my Majesty, you will be in big trouble if you go. If you can't help but show your feet, the whole thing will be interesting. You don't have to worry, five days Later, at the royal banquet, Haguero will bring Enleco to attend, and at that time, you will have the opportunity to meet him."

Kobe Leo thought for a moment and continued: "By the way, I also want to ask your Majesty for a favor. At the banquet in five days, Enleko must attend as a man and a woman at the same time. When the time comes, please make special arrangements for him. Now, prepare two connecting rooms so that Enleco can change his clothes."

Horkels III nodded. He fully agreed to Kobe Leo's request. He was even looking forward to the Victory Day celebration coming soon. He couldn't wait to watch a good show.

The joyful Kobe Leo quickly stood up and said goodbye to Horkels III. He also wanted to convey the news to the members of the Sophien Kingdom's envoy.

Looking at Kobe Leo who was gradually walking away, His Majesty Emperor Horkels III once again picked up the beautiful floral art piece on the table and murmured to himself: "Now, I have to add another bouquet. Roses, I wonder what Enleco looks like dressed as a woman, and what kind of flower decorations can match this guy?"

His Majesty Emperor Horkels III once again immersed himself in artistic creation. However, if you want to make the most perfect rosette, you must collect it in the early morning when the rose dew is still wet, and then complete all trimming, cutting, splicing, shaping and other processes before the sun reaches your head.

His Majesty Emperor Horkels III raised his head and looked at the sun above his head, which was gradually turning to the west. He shook his head, seeing that he would have to get up early again tomorrow.

※※※

In fact, His Majesty Emperor Horkels III is not the only one who must get up early. The habit of getting up early has become popular in Vedsk recently, and the most loyal supporter of this popular trend is Duke Hegeero.

He is most likely the first person to wake up in the capital Vedsk. Anyway, before dawn, this guy got up from bed, and then woke up the housekeeper, cook, and gardener one by one. The reason why he woke up the cook was to ask him to prepare exquisite food for Miss Fenasia, because Hagriro He has a deep understanding of Miss Fenacia's preference for food. He has seen Miss Fenacia devouring her food, so Hagriro decided to first rely on delicious food to completely conquer Miss Fenacia's appetite. The unfortunate old gardener was called up so early to prepare the most beautiful flowers for the passionate Duke. The gardener had to be kicked out of the house by his master early. He had to prepare enough flowers immediately before Miss Fenasia woke up, and the master had strict requirements on the type and quality of flowers. Although the old gardener has carried out this kind of order from the master more than once, he was still surprised by the large number of flowers requested by the master this time. The owner actually asked the old gardener to drive his spare carriage. It seemed that it would be difficult to deliver the work without getting half the carriage full of flowers. However, the old gardener had no complaints about this. After all, Hagrid and the old lady have always been very considerate of their servants, and the old gardener also hopes that his master will find his beloved as soon as possible. In the past two days, no one in the whole house has been talking about that Fenace. Miss Ya, and everyone admired this girl who was most likely to be the future hostess. Even the two magician bodyguards regretted it to death. One of them even swore in public that he would do his best to protect the young lady for the rest of his life. The old gardener himself also hoped that this lovely girl would become the hostess here. Therefore, the old gardener was very happy with this hard work. He drove the car quickly towards the Royal Nursery, because only there were the most beautiful flowers in Vedsk.

Haguero was anxiously waiting for the old gardener to deliver the flowers in his mansion.

He has already dragged Miss Fenacia's four maids out of bed. It is much easier to wake up those four people than to wake up the housekeeper. Often, he only needs to push them twice, and there will be a sound immediately. With a sharp scream, a woman quickly jumped out of bed and got under the bed. Seeing these, Hagrid was quite annoyed. Couldn't anyone see that since he had Miss Fenasia, he looked down upon any other woman, let alone a few maids? Am I the kind of nymphomaniac who has no taste and chases after women whenever he sees them

However, despite this, Duke Hagriro still did not dare to offend those maids. After all, he did not want to leave a bad impression on Miss Fenasia. So Hagrid just gave a few simple instructions, asking the maids to quietly enter the lady's room and clean it, so as not to wake the lady up, and then turned around and went out.

By the time the old gardener came back with loads of flowers, Haguero was already waiting outside the door.

Several people gently carried all the flowers outside Enleco's bedroom. The maids were responsible for spreading flowers all over Fenasia's bedroom.

To be honest, those four maids were really shocked by the large number of flowers. I didn't expect that this overseas-famous playboy would be so serious. Thinking of this, they couldn't help but laugh.

Hagrid obviously misunderstood the maids' thoughts, and he quickly said goodbye and left in a serious manner.

※※※

The sky gradually became brighter, and when Enleco woke up, she (he) found that she (he) had been completely submerged in a sea of flowers. The entire bedroom was filled with flowers. Enleco was so troubled that she buried her head deeply into the pillows again, because she (he) knew that another hard and difficult day had officially begun.

Beautiful and sumptuous breakfast.

Sitting next to him, he stared intently at **** who was in a daze.

Sitting across the dining table, he looked at the couple in front of him with interest, *********'s mother.

Heads dangling from the windows and door cracks

The maid behind her back covered her mouth and snickered.

The smiling Mrs. ******* and her twenty students arrived early.

Mrs. ******'s insinuations were both true and false.

The twenty noble ladies had strange looks in their eyes.

From time to time, ladies and gentlemen who pass by and come in to take a look appear.

There are also envoys sent by His Majesty the Emperor who come here whenever they have something to do.

All this made Enleco feel exhausted.

Among them, the most difficult thing for Enleco to resist is the ghost of Duke Haguero, who is always standing not far from him.

As soon as he makes a move, this annoying guy will run up to him and ask questions. And whenever this happens, the servants around them will also put on a posture of being on call at any time, looking like they will go through fire and water without hesitation.

All this gave Enleco an even greater headache, but the etiquette lessons still had to continue. Enleco knew that her (his) suffering was far from over. She (he) could only long for the escape from the sea of suffering deep in her heart. one day.

The course continues...

※※※

Enleco was exhausted and lying on the bed again. He was really tired today and it was a very hard day. Although there were no ladies watching, Countess Mellis was very polite and did not give her (him) any trouble. Even though Hegeello's mother was so kind and kind and cared about him meticulously, even though the rogue Duke Hegeello finally showed his gentlemanly side and stopped bothering him. Although Enleco has gradually become accustomed to all the troubles that a girl has to go through, even though... Enleco still feels quite tired. This fatigue spreads from deep inside, and this fatigue always lingers in Enleco. Lecco's body and soul are completely inseparable. This kind of exhaustion swallowed Enleco's soul. Enleco is counting the time silently. There are still three full days before she (he) can escape from this boundless sea of suffering. Now Enleco is really living like a year.

Enleco turned around slightly, but unexpectedly, something quite hard was pressed against her ribs. The pain only made her (him) break into a cold sweat, because she (he) had been wearing nothing in the past few days. Those gorgeous long skirts, and in order to highlight the graceful figure and smooth lines, the waist and ribs must be tightly bound with a belt before wearing such luxurious clothes. Enleco is really worried that if this continues, her (his) ribs will one day be completely broken.

Enleco stroked it gently twice, and then remembered that when Kobe Leo came the day before yesterday, he had quietly stuffed himself with a green gem and a roll of paper. I was so tired at the time that I never thought about it again. I just hid the gem and the roll of paper close to my body.

Thinking of this, Enleco slowly took out the gemstone from his arms. She (he) gently raised the gemstone to her eyes, slowly turning it left and right, through the crystal clear four-fence-shaped section, A group of dark green light that resembled smoke and water waves rotated, flowed, and rippled in circles. Although the size of this gem is not too large, it has a thick and solemn feeling, like the bottomless ocean. Enleco could clearly feel that there was a magical power contained in this green gem.

The curious Enleco had completely forgotten her fatigue, and she (he) hurriedly opened the note.

I saw that the note was written in extremely fine handwriting, with many small words densely copied. The first part was obviously written by Her Royal Highness, and the words were full of commanding tone. After reading this, Enleco roughly understood the dangerous situation he was facing now. Although she (he) had already guessed that Duke Haguero would not be an unknown person, Enleco never expected that this Haguero would be one of the most terrifying and dangerous enemies for them. 1. The leader of the hardliners in the Kingdom of Kaoqi and the leader of all the nobles of the foreign vassals.

Enleco could only sigh secretly in his heart at the goddess of fate's ruthless trick. It is really unlucky for her (he) to be in such a predicament now. And what made her (him) laugh the most was that she (he) felt quite clearly that the powerful Duke Haguero was completely serious. And his mother is also very serious. Just thinking about this, Enleco felt like he had a splitting headache.

※※※

Enleco, who was in a bad mood, flipped the note casually and saw that there were also many words written densely on the back of the note. Enleco took a look, and it turned out that the note introduced in detail the emerald he was holding. According to what was said on it, the name of this gem was "The Heart of Reason." It is an artifact given to mankind by the God of Wisdom, Aitarotanskart. This artifact has the function of stabilizing the human mind, eliminating the mental constraints imposed on people, and shielding the human mind from prying eyes.

Enleco has always been very interested in learning new knowledge. She (he) immediately did what was described on the note, but to his surprise, the gem showed no response. Enleco was quite puzzled by this. Because as far as she (he) knows, those artifacts have the same principle as the magic circle. You can freely use the power of the artifact as long as you know how to use it. But the artifact in front of me is obviously completely different from the other artifacts. This artifact simply refuses the magic power it inputs. This is a completely incomprehensible phenomenon.

Enleco's interest suddenly rose. She (he) sat up immediately, observing the green gem repeatedly, and tried various methods to make this artifact work. However, it was obvious that all this was in vain.

Just as Enleco was racking his brains, the monster Most came out quietly. In fact, in the past few days, this guy has not returned to the devil world. This guy feels more and more that the current world is quite attractive to him. This world is really interesting. So it hid in the depths of Enleco's mind and appreciated everything that happened around him. In the past few days, it was extremely interested in everything that happened to Enleco. It had never seen such interesting things in tens of thousands of years. Pass.

And now the special magic wave emitted by the artifact that Enleco took out from his arms woke Most up from his sleep. It slowly emerged from the depths of Enleco's mind. Sure enough, this feeling that is so familiar to it emanates from the emerald tightly held in Enleco's hand. Most was extremely familiar with this artifact.

I think back then, in order to confuse humans, it created countless artifacts used to spy on and control human minds - the "Eye of the Soul". Most of this artifact was made using a gemstone that was born with magical power. This gemstone It is called cat's eye stone by humans. Through this artifact, Most successfully disrupted human society and caused a large number of humans to defect to the demon clan. And it was at this time that Most's biggest enemy among the Protoss, the guy who was called the God of Wisdom by humans, also used another gem with mysterious power called emerald to create a weapon that was completely designed to target the "Eye of the Soul." "The artifact "Heart of Reason".

Most was very familiar with this kind of artifact. This artifact was simply created to combat it. If it were in the past, Most would definitely not be interested in this kind of thing, but now it is completely different. Most is quite clear that this artifact is quite sensitive to it and the power it represents. If used correctly, this artifact can definitely serve as a compass to regain some of its lost power.

Most repeatedly thought about how to lure Enleco into being deceived so that this immature guy would willingly help him regain his power.

Thinking of this, Most secretly triggered the power of the artifact, completely surrounding Enleco, and then suddenly appeared in front of Enleco.

All this really shocked Enleco. She (he) really doesn't understand why this guy suddenly ran out. However, he at least knew that this guy's running out must be related to the artifact. Enleco would not think that he had accidentally touched the power of the artifact just now. The sudden effect of the artifact must be related to this mysterious artifact. The guy is concerned.

Sure enough, he heard the monster say: "I didn't expect that there is still a "rational heart" left now. It has been tens of thousands of years, and this thing can still be used."

"I think back then, the God of Wisdom, Aitarotanskart, gave this kind of thing to humans in order to protect human beings' fragile minds from being monitored and controlled by others, and also to allow humans to communicate with the gods conveniently. In ancient times, , most of the human sages own a piece of this kind of thing, which is the best way to improve your practice, solidify your mind and seek breakthroughs..."

“…”

That monster Most kept talking about the glorious history of this artifact. It was in the depths of Enleco's soul all day long. Of course it knew that for Enleco, that kind of temptation was the most exhilarating. What he can't get rid of is curiosity, which is both the driving force of progress and the most fatal weakness for human beings. Most knew that Enleco's curiosity was particularly strong, so as long as this weak human individual aroused strong curiosity, it could lead Enleco's nose and wander around casually.

Sure enough, Most's strategy was quite successful, and Enleco could no longer bear this fatal temptation (after all, the levels were different. Most was an old devil who had been seducing humans for tens of thousands of years, so this was simply a small test). The reason why Enleco has not asked Most in detail about the use of this artifact is entirely out of consideration for his own safety. After all, Most has an extremely bad historical record, and he is trapped in this kind of situation that he cannot extricate himself from. It can be said that a large part of our situation is thanks to this guy. If this guy comes up with some bad ideas again, it won't matter at all, and it will be hard for him to tell. After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Enleco did not dare to make further inquiries. However, she (he) still slowly grew and spread unknowingly.

In fact, Most had no intention of raising any conditions. All he wanted was that Enleco could control the artifact. With Enleco's temperament, once he mastered this ability, it would be strange for him to be dissatisfied with the use of it everywhere in the world. Therefore, Most explained the working principle of the "rational heart" and the methods used in detail. What he mentioned was far more detailed than what was recorded on the piece of paper.

Enleco listened to all this with great interest. She (he) now finally understands why she can't use this artifact. It turns out that there are several types of artifacts, most of which are made by humans according to the technology and technology given by God. Made of powerful magic. To a large extent, this kind of artifact is a magic circle that has a special purpose and is easy to use. Many of these artifacts will lend their power to humans for free as long as they determine that the user has the power to use it. And unlike magic circles, There is no need to resort to meditation to use the artifact, which makes it much more convenient. Most of this type of artifacts are weapons. For example, the "Dark Red Teardrop" owned by Enleco is such an artifact.

There is another kind of artifact, which is made by the god himself and given to the people he chooses. In addition to being used by believers who believe in this god, this kind of artifact can also be used by magicians with powerful magic power to forcibly control these artifacts. Enleco thought for a moment and was immediately sure that Kobe Leo used this artifact in this way, because no matter how you look at it, this guy who is good at using brute force definitely does not look like a believer of the God of Wisdom.

At this moment, Enleco felt a headache. According to Most, it was absolutely impossible for her (he) to use this artifact. But soon she (he) discovered that this kind of worry was unnecessary. Most actually said that it could teach Enleco a method so that Enleco could easily coordinate the frequency of mind fluctuations and make this kind of mind The fluctuations are synchronized with the followers of the God of Wisdom, so that the artifact can be used conveniently.

To be honest, Enleco was not able to accept this kind of behavior of deceiving the gods, but his rapidly expanding curiosity prompted him to choose to do it. The balance of Enleco's soul was at the same level between conscience and curiosity. The weights oscillate between each other. But her (his) conscience is obviously no match for the rapidly increasing desire for knowledge. Within a few rounds, conscience was completely driven out of Enleco's mind.

Enlei fell into meditation following the method Most told her (him). Of course, it is impossible for her (his) power to meditate at such a deep level. That monster Most helped a lot in secret. In fact, Most has many ways for Enleco to use this artifact, and it can even be used to control the artifact through Enleco's mind. However, it still chose to let Enleco manipulate the "rational heart" according to its own will. After all, this is its only preference as the God of Souls.

Everything around him was rippling gently as if in a hazy water wave. Enleco's perception stretched out around him, and those inanimate objects seemed to become completely transparent all of a sudden. Enleco's consciousness could not be seen at all. Easily penetrate them without being blocked. The surrounding life forms with independent spirits, no matter how big or small, are all clearly displayed in front of Enleco's eyes. The only difference is the strength of the spiritual power contained.

Enleco has never thought that there are so many creatures in this world with unique spirits, those tall trees, those green grasses, those bright flowers, those jumping and singing insects, those sleeping birds , all of which have their own independent spirit.

※※※

As for those who are asleep, their spiritual power is even stronger. Enleco could clearly see everyone's slightly flickering mental fluctuations, which were like the pulse of the human body rising and falling. Among the sleeping people around them, five of them had the strongest mental fluctuations. The one closest to her (him), Enleco knew without guessing, must be Haguero. And the other person who always fluctuates gently and rhythmically is undoubtedly the noble lady--Hagero's mother. The other two people living in the courtyard on the right should be the two magicians who had attacked her (him) and almost killed her (him). However, Enleco did not have the slightest resentment towards these two magicians. After all, he was too reckless that time, which caused such an uncontrollable situation. Later, the sincere confession of the two magicians made him Extreme panic, especially the young magician who swore to protect him forever, added a lot of trouble to Enleco.

The last mental fluctuation was quite strange. The fluctuation was quite slow, as slow as if it were completely still, but Enleco clearly felt that it was also a mental fluctuation, and as Enleco watched, that kind of fluctuation As if sensing something, the frequency suddenly increased. What had been an extremely slow pulse turned into a violent, rapid beat. Even when Enleco withdrew his mental power and stopped sensing the outside world, the mental fluctuations suddenly strengthened to the point that Enleco could clearly sense it without using a magical weapon.

Regarding this situation, Enleco couldn't help but have great doubts. She (he) really couldn't explain this situation, and when she (he) wanted to ask Most for advice, she discovered that the guy had already disappeared. .

The helpless Enleco had no choice but to pretend that he felt nothing and continued to sleep.

However, that feeling became stronger and stronger, and in the end it was like calling loudly in Enleco's ears. No matter how tightly she (he) covers her ears, or even covers her head with all the quilts and pillows, that feeling is still introduced deeply into her (his) mind without any hindrance.

From the depths of his soul, Enleco sensed that clear and abnormal mental fluctuation. It was a call, a spiritual call, a soul call. This call was caused by something he inadvertently perceived. Yes, but now this thing is obviously not willing to let him go anymore.

With an uneasy mood, the helpless Enleco climbed down from the bed gently. She (he) opened the door carefully and walked downstairs quietly. Because that strong calling guides her (him) to come to it, and that clear mental fluctuation is like a blazing torch in the darkness, illuminating everything around you, making you want to ignore it. It's all completely impossible.

Enleco slowly walked into the hall, guided by the mental fluctuations. The hall, which was bustling during the day, looked particularly peaceful under the bright moonlight. The row of huge windows inlaid with stained glass paintings seemed to tell their own stories under the moonlight. The surrounding walls reflected silvery white moonlight. Set off by the half-dark moonlight, the exquisite murals painted on the top wall added a touch of mystery.

Wandering in the empty hall and wandering among the many sofas, all this is a completely different scene during the day. However, at night, everything calmed down, there was no sound, no noise, no singing and laughter, everything was peaceful. The only thing here that hasn't calmed down yet is the strong mental fluctuation.

Enleco could clearly feel that the fluctuation came from the huge portrait hanging in the middle of the hall, a portrait that looked very similar to Haguero. But Enleco knew very well that the one painted on it was definitely not Duke Haguero. Because the person in the portrait has an expression that has gone through many vicissitudes of life, which is completely different from the always high-spirited Duke Hegeero. Enleco guessed that the person in the painting should be one of Hegeello's ancestors.

Under the guidance of that call and inspired by strong curiosity, Enleco slowly approached the huge portrait. When he got closer, Enleco realized that the portrait was so lifelike. The person who created the painting must have been an outstanding artist. The man in the portrait stood there with a solemn expression like a real person of flesh and blood. And that strong mental wave came from that person.

Although Enleco has heard people say more than once that outstanding works of art have souls, she (he) always thought that it was a metaphor, which was only used to praise those with profound connotations. A word of praise for an excellent work that makes people feel spiritual resonance.

I never expected that I would actually see a non-living substance with a soul. The panicked Enleco backed away repeatedly. Unexpectedly, she (he) accidentally tripped on the sofa, tilted her whole body back and fell down.

In the critical moment, Enleco quickly followed what Joe had taught him before, using his left hand to protect the back of his head and extending his right hand as far back as possible to weaken the impact when he hit the ground. Enleco was ready to take this blow. But she (he) didn't expect that when the body was close to the level, a pair of strong hands would be firmly placed on her back with a strong gust of wind, holding her steady. Enleco raised his head and took a look. Although the man had his back to the moonlight and his body was shrouded in shadow, but with that silhouette alone, Enleco could be sure that it was the person who saved him again (he ) Duke Hagriro, who hates pain.

Suddenly, Enleco realized that he looked very unsightly, and since reading the note, Enleco already knew what kind of person the noble Duke in front of him was. Although Enleco I feel that Duke Haguero is not as scary as what Her Royal Highness the Princess described in the note, but Enleco still tried his best to avoid the current situation. After all, in the middle of the night, he was alone in the face of a man known to the entire Kaoqi Kingdom. The number one pervert, whose reputation even spreads overseas, a dangerous man with the nickname "Blonde Silver Wolf", there is nothing worse for a girl. (Enleco has now fully integrated into this role, and she (he) has completely accepted the identity of a woman)

The panicked Enleco struggled to stand up like a frightened rabbit, and then rushed to the corner of the hall in three steps and two steps. He stared at Hagrid with a panicked expression.

Hagrid stood there quietly with a helpless look on his face. He looked at Miss Fenacia who was huddled there in fear like a frightened bird. He could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He could completely see that this unique woman was The little girl was already prepared to break the window glass again and escape from the hall at any time. The glass had just been completely repaired, and Hagero didn't want to repair the window again. So, he quickly said: "Dear Miss Feini, you don't need to panic. I just heard you walking out of your room, so I followed you out to see if there is anything you need my help with."

※※※

"I, I was just out for a walk out of boredom. I don't have anything else to do. I'm going back to my room." Enleco was in such a hurry that he was looking for a chance to escape. But she (he) did not expect that Duke Haguero completely rejected this request.

Heargoello smiled and said: "Lovely Miss Feini, there is really no need for you to avoid me like this. Since you are bored, let's sit down and have a cup of coffee and have a good chat."

Seeing Miss Fenacia's lack of reaction, Hegeiro added another sentence: "Dear Miss, don't forget that you must abide by the agreement within these five days. You must not refuse my invitation. If you are not willing, If I abide by this agreement, I will no longer be bound by that agreement, and I don’t have any objections to that.”

Upon hearing this, Enleco was so frightened that she (he) had to find a sofa far away and sit down obediently.

Hagrid did not take advantage of the situation this time. Instead, like a gentleman, he sat down at a certain distance from Miss Fenacia. I saw him ringing the silver bell at hand, and with a crisp ringing, the hall immediately became bright and clear, and then the small door next to it opened gently, and the butler pushed a dining cart away. Come in.

Enleco really had nothing to say about this. She (he) knew very well that Haguero had prepared everything secretly. Even the refreshments were prepared, and the helpless Enleco had no choice but to turn his attention to the portrait that had been calling her (him).

All this fell into Hagrid's eyes. I just heard him say with a smile: "I painted that painting, isn't it good?"

This sentence surprised Enleco, even though she (he) already knew that Heguero was good at painting, and it can be seen from the collected portraits that Heguero's painting attainments are quite advanced and his later painting techniques His superb skills and proficiency have reached the level of perfection. However, from those later paintings, it is impossible to see the kind of sincere feelings of flesh and blood as shown in this portrait. Enleco really couldn't imagine that the two were written by the same person.

"Are you painting yourself? It seems a bit different," Enleco asked.

Hearing this topic, the butler who was always waiting on the side quickly turned around and exited the living room. Only Haguero and Enleco were left in the huge living room.

Haguero hesitated for a while, and then said in a very low voice: "Most people thought it was my self-portrait. In fact, what I painted was my ancestor, an ancestor who had already been known by others. A forgotten ancestor, an ancestor whose name has not even survived. Have you ever heard of the name Ticoloni?"

Seeing Miss Fenacia's frowning expression and thinking hard, Hagriro continued: "You must have never heard of it. Ticoloni was once an extremely noble and glorious name. But no one has mentioned it now. All people know is a nameless magic archer. Victory Day in a few days will be to celebrate the great achievements he and his companions have made, but no one knows his real name. .A hero who doesn’t even have a name left.”

"Why is this?" Enleco asked, obviously her (his) fatal curiosity took over again.

"Curse, all of this comes from a vicious curse. You should have heard that the Magic Emperor was eventually killed by the hero king Xin Luoan, the founder of the Kaoqi Kingdom. But, do you know, what really killed him? The person in question is not this Hero King, but my ancestor, and it is precisely because of this that my ancestor was cursed by the evil Emperor of Magic who was dying."

"What kind of curse?" Enleco asked.

"Use the most sincere and beautiful words to announce the most tragic and desperate judgment, love the person who should be least loved with all your heart, endure the pain of being ruined while alive, and be abandoned by the world after death, passed down from generation to generation. One after another." At this point, Hagrid's eyes were fixed on Miss Fenasia, and he repeated softly and slowly: "Love the person who should be least loved with all your heart, from generation to generation. , passed down one after another.”

Enleco felt uncomfortable being stared at by such a scorching gaze. She (he) did not expect that it would be such a curse. This damn curse actually implicated herself. Enleco sighed secretly. His luck was so bad that even such ancient bad luck would be related to him. She (he) quickly looked for other topics to avoid the extremely embarrassing situation.

"This curse is probably no longer valid. In my opinion, your family is very happy, and your mother's marriage is quite happy." Enleco said with a forced smile. But she (he) was not lying, she (he) really thought so.

"Oh? You see it this way. I also hope that this curse will be invalid. Then I will be the first super lucky person in this family to get rid of this curse. As for my mother's marriage, you will understand one day in the future. "Hageello said.

Enleco secretly laughed when he heard this. What kind of super lucky guy? This guy is simply a very unlucky guy. It seems that this guy has no hope of getting rid of the curse. But there was no way to say these words. Enleco thought hard and tried to find other topics.

Suddenly, Enleco remembered that the old wolf had said before that Ticoloni was the best shooter he had ever seen. What's more, Enleco really couldn't understand how the magic emperor who ruled the world with magic power could be defeated by archers. After all, no matter from which point, magicians had a complete advantage against archers.

Thinking of this, Enleco asked excitedly: "By the way, your ancestor was an archer. How did he defeat those powerful magicians?"

Hagero stood up slowly and walked to the huge portrait. He stretched out his hands and gently took off the portrait. There was a slender picture inlaid on the wall behind the portrait. A long and narrow bow.

Enleco could clearly feel strong mental fluctuations emanating from that bow. She (he) immediately understood that it was this bow that had been calling her. This bow destroyed the ancient magic emperor and ended The bow that ruled magic for thousands of years, this bow used by heroes.
