The piercing laughter of the merchant lady lingered in the corridor and gradually faded away.
The two Bancia knights watched this scene dumbfounded-watching the black smoke scattered from the corridor. The Sadr wizard swept over his sullen eyes: "What are you still doing in a daze?" He said coldly, "Clean up here."
Two knights, one old and one young, lowered their heads quickly, and they answered.
Sadr turned around and looked up and down Antitina. The words of the woman when she left before made him feel a little wrong: "Are you the princess of this country?"
Antitina looked straight into the opponent's eyes without fear, her eyes were clear and firm, but she said nothing.
Sadr snorted when he saw this, knowing that his psychological hints would not work. Although the wizard's spells of confusing the mind are powerful, it must be based on the premise that the other party has no defense, and if the subject knows your methods well, the hope is even more slim.
He was afraid of ruining the little girl's brain, so he thought about it and didn't continue, and gestured to Antitina with a sullen face and motioned her to follow.
Although Antitina didn't answer, she understood that it was meaningless to resist meaninglessly at this time, and followed silently. The two entered a study, and the Sadr wizard did not speak, took out a transmission ruby from the drawer, and rubbed it twice with his finger.
After about a quarter of an hour, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Sadr."
When Antitina heard this voice, she could only feel the blood rushing to her brain. Although she had expected it, she couldn't help trembling with anger. The Sadr wizard knocked on the table and the door opened on its own. Antitina raised her head and looked at the person outside the door, piercing at the person with her angry eyes like two sharp swords.
The people outside obviously didn't expect that they would meet such two terrifying glances, and could not help taking a step back subconsciously.
But when he could see who the master of this gaze was, his expression couldn't help but change: "Why are you?"
"Who is she?" Before Antitina could speak, the Sadr wizard, who had a bad feeling for a long time, had already asked. He sat motionless in his position, his face was dark and gloomy.
It was Macaro who came.
The confidant of the royal party, the sly fox of Lantonilan, the confidant of the confidant of the Grand Duke Cannon—
This traitor is now wearing a gray black fur coat. The woolen hat on his head is covered with dew, rain and snow. The riding boots are covered with semi-dried mud. It looks like he has just arrived at the Light Castle not long ago. It's not a short journey before it has time to rest.
Looking at his pathetic appearance, Antitina couldn't help but sneer in her heart. The dignified courtier of Eruin showed such a cautious and wagging appearance, where is there a little bit of a royal party leader
This is the lifelong pursuit of this person
Really seek benevolence and benevolence.
"My lord, something went wrong." Of course, Macaro knew what the other person's gaze meant, but he deliberately turned a blind eye, and replied respectfully to the side: "This is not your Royal Highness the princess, she is the mistress of Count Tonigel, and also a Very powerful woman."
"I didn't expect you to be such a villain, Macaro," Antitina looked at the traitor and said coldly: "You betrayed the princess and slandered my relationship with the lord, you Do you think everyone is as dirty and dirty as you? You still have the face to call her your Royal Highness."
Just as Macaro was about to speak ironically, he heard the Sadr wizard yell in an angry voice: "Shut up all to me!"
He suddenly stretched out his hand, and a bolt of lightning burst out from his fingertips and hit Antitina's chest. Antitina screamed, only to feel that she hit a bookcase backwards, and the pain in the heart of the vest came. The bookcase had already overturned on her body, and the books fell heavily, burying her underneath.
Blood poured out from everywhere immediately, and there was a salty smell in her mouth, and she coughed weakly twice, feeling that she was almost fainting. But then she heard the voice of the Sadr wizard saying outside: "You better give me an explanation, Macaro."
"My lord, my lord..." Macaro suppressed his anxiety and defended: "... I don't quite understand."
"I grabbed people, but things are for you and me, do you think my men dare to deceive me?" Sadr wizard sat in his place, his gloomy face was like a cloud gestating a storm The dark cloud: "Now we have captured the person, tell me she is not the princess?"
"My lord... I see..." Macaro swallowed, racking his brains to understand the problem: "Can you show me?"
The Sadr wizard snorted coldly and raised his hand to throw a gem, which was the Goring gem used by the Banciaians to verify her pedigree when they captured Antitina.
Makaro silently took the gem and observed it carefully—this gem was originally part of the Lionheart Sacred Sword. It was inlaid on the counterweight of the Sacred Sword by the first generation of swordsmiths, as a symbol of the kingship of Eruin. .
Later, in the Battle of Baltar, the gem was lost from the sword, and the knights recovered it a year later; after that, Xianjun Eke used it to forge a crown, which has always been Sifah. The treasure of the family.
After the fall of the Westfah dynasty, this crown symbolizing royal power naturally came to the hands of the Corkova family. Its last owner was Obergus VII. Before the faint old king died, he The crown was entrusted to the royal party for custody—in fact, the crown has always been kept in the hands of Macaro and Overwell.
Macaro carefully looked at this shining gem, and looked at it over and over for a long time but couldn't see why. He swore that this gem must be a real Goring gem, but how could such a problem arise
It took a while before the traitor raised his head questioningly with the gem in his hand. Seeing his look, the Sadr wizard understood that this was wasted time again: "You want to say that I made a mistake?"
"My lord, I..." Macaro's cold sweat really came down. He may be considered a personal figure in Eruin, but in front of the Sassards, his identity is not worth mentioning.
He was about to find a rhetoric to explain, but at this moment, a hoarse sneer came from under the overturned bookshelf: "...Mr. Wizard, why should you let him continue to deceive you?"
Macaro turned his head subconsciously.
He saw a sound of'wow', and the bookshelf was pushed open by a pair of weak arms.
A wounded girl got up from below with difficulty. Books and debris fell from her like it was raining, but in the end the girl staggered to a stop.
The girl looked at the two people in the room, and finally fell on the Sadr wizard.
"My lord, she..." Macaro realized that it was not good and hurriedly said.
But the Sadr wizard was expressionless, and even the lingering anger on his face disappeared: "Let her go on."
Macaro had to shut up obediently, but his expression was very angry.
"Give me the gem," Antitina didn't intend to let him go, and looked at the traitor coldly: "The Goring gem is Eruin's sacred object. How can it be handed to you, a running dog traitor."
"What do you want to do?" Macaro felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Antitina didn't answer him at all, but looked at the Sadr wizard on the side.
"Give it to her." The Sadr wizard replied as expected.
"My lord, be careful she might break this gem..."
"Give it to her." The Sadr wizard increased his tone.
Macaro had no choice but to obediently do it.
He is known as Lantonilan's cunning fox, but no cunning fox dare to make trouble in front of the real lion. Although he is full of conspiracies and tricks, he has no effect here.
Antitina took the gem, and as soon as the ordinary Goring gem touched her hand, it burst into light.
And when this gem was stained with her blood, it suddenly shined brightly-the center of the gem seemed to light up a ball of flame, it slowly expanded outward, and finally became bright and flawless, exuding softness in all directions Light.
The girl held up the gem in both hands, as if lifting up a sun.
The dazzling light shot in all directions, so that Macaro did not dare to look straight, even the Sadr wizard who was not far away could not help but squinted his eyes.
"This..." Macaro was completely silly, and he covered his eyes with his hands and said loudly: "...How is this possible!"
But the Sadr wizard looked much more calm, he only looked at Antitina thoughtfully.
Antitina put down the gem, as if she did what she wanted, and the light of the gem gradually faded with her movements.
She raised her head and looked directly at the Sadr wizard with a very calm expression: "The person you are looking for is not reliable at all. He doesn't even understand the true meaning of the Goring gem, so he tried to find it with this gem. Princess Griffin is really ridiculous."
After saying this, Antitina closed her mouth.
Just waited silently.
But she was already nervous to the extreme, she was gambling, but as long as she guessed a possibility slightly wrong, she might die here soon.
Fortunately, she seems to have made no mistakes on key issues.
"Don't sow discord," Sadr said coldly, "No matter what you know, little girl, you can only live if you prove your worth."
"I mean," Antitina replied nonchalantly and equally coldly: "You have found the wrong person at all. Although the Corcovado family rules Eruin today, they are ultimately usurpers. That's it."
At this time Macaro finally recovered from the shock.
Hearing this sentence, a nearly non-existent possibility suddenly flashed in his mind: "Wait, you... Are you saying..."
Antitina glanced at this man with disgust. She stretched out a hand and pulled out a necklace from under her neck. The necklace with the pendant was swayed gently in her hand—glistening in the afternoon sun.
"Do you recognize it, Mr. Cunning Fox?"
"The Heart of Sifah!" Macaro almost took a step back: "You, you are the direct heir of the Sifah royal family!?"
"Wait a minute," the wizard suddenly interrupted the two impatiently: "What's the matter? You said she is also the heir of the royal family. You mean that the Corkova royal family has not only two heirs, but This does not match the information I got."
"My lord, that's not the case." Macaro reacted, daring not to neglect and hurriedly recounted Eruin's history briefly, which explained why there were two royal bloodlines in this kingdom.
He talked about the change of dynasties from the Battle of Grey Mountain and the rise of the Corcovado family. Sadr finally interrupted him impatiently, and said, "Well, I'm not interested in these endless chattering things. I don’t care how many kings have been born in this little place-in fact, this is just a question for you, that is, does this little girl meet the requirements?"
Macaro was stunned for a moment.
He immediately replied with some embarrassment: "... Your lord, if what she said is true, I think it should be true. The Lionheart Sacred Sword was originally held by Xianjun Eke, and Xianjun Eke is actually Sifa The ancestor of the He family... This woman is a direct descendant of Elkan III. Compared to today's West Fah family, this family has more legitimacy for inheritance."
"Speaking of the point," Sadr said, "In other words, even if we find the princess, it is very likely that we are wasting our time?"
Macaro had to bite the bullet and explain: "My lord, I just said that there is a possibility."
As one of the wizard leaders of the Silver Federation, how could Sadr be deceived by his language, and sneered when he heard the words: "So, don't I have to thank you for your crooked beating?"
Macaro's cold sweat broke down at once, and naturally he couldn't speak the second half of the sentence.
But Sadr shook his head. He wouldn't make a fuss because of this trivial matter. He understands how can a truly reliable person easily abandon his beliefs; only these villains will take refuge in them for a little profit, but there is no such thing. Stupid, where did the Sasald's lackey come from
He knew the relationship in his heart, but he didn't show it. He only looked at Antitina again and looked up and down the little girl.
He didn't care who the other party was, but a mere mortal crown prince, this status was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Sassards, as long as the other party could use the sword.
After thinking about this, Sadr said in a sorcerer's characteristic slow tone: "You have proven your worth, little girl, now you can talk about your origins."
Antitina looked at the two people in the room and was silent for a moment.
When Macaro tells the history of Eruin, she is full of disgust-the history of this ancient kingdom is a source of glory for some people, but for others, it is just a ready-to-price It’s just the rank of advancement.
These people trample not only their own beliefs and ideals, but also the bloodshed and sacrifices of others.
Maybe they don't even deserve this title at all.
But she has come to a step, even if she can only stick to it.
Antitina looked at the necklace in her hand with some cherishment, and replied softly: "According to the royal family tree, my real name should be Mauria Etarina de Sifahe, and my ancestor is Sifa. The last king of the Hebrew dynasty, Elkan III."
"After the Battle of Grey Mountain, my father's grandfather took them to escape from Sifah, and then our branch settled in the South. My father's grandfather had a son and a daughter, and the daughter's branch was invading Karasu with the blood stick. Time lost contact, and we are the descendants of another branch; after the turbulent years, we have been letting Denel to Golan-Elsen settle down, trying to maintain the identity of the nobility until my father’s generation Until the end of the family..."
"But although I have almost lost my identity as a nobleman, according to the vows made by our clan, I will not abandon my old surname after all. Even if I am named Antitina today, the other name will stay with me forever. "
The Sadr wizard nodded in satisfaction.
"This is a good story," he said, "I believe you will be grateful for your frankness, otherwise I will turn you into a piece of coke a few minutes ago. There are only people who can prove their worth in this world. In order to survive, even the Sasalders are the same."
The Buga wizard chief clapped his hands and patted his slender and pale fingers together. He seemed to be in a good mood: "After listening to your story, it is time to listen to our story. I hope this story can give you Bring some enlightenment."
He raised his hand and chanted an ancient and mysterious mantra.
Several shadows overlapped in the air, and light and shadow weave each other, finally forming a long sword.
The Sadr wizard stood up and pointed the sword with his hand: "I think you should know this sword, Miss Antitina-no, it should be your Royal Highness Princess Moria."
Of course Antitina knew the sword.
Because that was a symbol of Eruin.
It is also a symbol of the Sifah family.
That is the Lionheart Sacred Sword.
