In the living room, Ke Lin quietly looked at the High Priest of the Goddess of Fate in front of him, his eyes flickering.
This is a very beautiful half-elf, with emerald green hair, amber eyes, and delicate and beautiful facial features, as if the classical sculpture in the palace came to life.
Her demeanor is cool and elegant, yet revealing a trace of natural and unaffected charm.
However, Ke Lin didn't have the mentality of admiring beauties at the moment. He looked at Cuisili with undisguised scrutiny, and didn't respond to the words of congratulations she just said, but asked stiffly:
"How do you know that Her Majesty will have a difficult delivery?"
Facing Ke Lin's questioning, Cui Sili smiled gently, and said lightly: "Because, the reason why Your Majesty's difficult delivery is actually related to me."
Colin narrowed his eyes immediately, he didn't expect the high priest to be so frank.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"My lord, you should have seen the phantom of the phoenix that appeared above Silvermoon City last night."
"I see, what is that?"
"That is the projection of the Phoenix's remnant soul in the world."
Seeing Ke Lin's confused face, Cui Sili continued to explain: "It is rumored that before the age of dragons, the phoenix was the ruler of this world, but due to some unknown reasons, they have disappeared for tens of thousands of years.
However, their bloodlines have not been completely cut off, because the elves are said to have inherited the bloodlines of the Phoenix.
The elves respect the blood of the phoenix very much. The stronger the blood of the phoenix, the higher the status. In order to maintain the purity of the phoenix blood, those elves with high blood concentration are no longer willing to intermarry with elves with low concentration blood. A separate racial branch - the high elves.
Among the high elves, those with the strongest Phoenix blood are the royal family, and their biggest appearance features are their fiery red pupils and hair... "
Hearing this, Colin's expression changed, because his newborn daughter had fiery red pupils. As for the hair, although it was very sparse, it was also fiery red.
It seems that his daughter is indeed a high-concentration phoenix blood that can only be possessed by the high elf royal family.
However, as a half-elf with "low blood", it is obviously impossible for Aisha to give birth to such a baby girl naturally, and someone must have tampered with it.
Colin pressed his patience and continued to listen to Trisley's narration:
"... With the passage of time, the bloodline of the high elves inevitably became thinner from generation to generation, even to the point where the entire royal family could not find a red-eyed red-haired descendant.
In order to purify the blood of the descendants, the priests of the high elves created a ritual called [Blessing of Blood].
This ritual needs to consume a precious meteorite called [Phoenix Soul Stone Fragments]. There is a certain chance that it can enhance the blood of the unborn fetus, and even allow ordinary elves to give birth to red eyes and red hair that only the most noble high elf royal family can have. Phoenix blood.
However, [Phoenix Soul Stone] is too rare a meteorite that falls from the sky, and only one falls every few hundred years. This has led to the inevitable decline of the high elf royal family even though there is such a secret ritual to improve the bloodline. , in the end, I couldn't even find a descendant who could serve as the Phoenix King... "
Colin was not interested in the decline of the high elves. Hearing this, he couldn't help but interrupt:
"So, the phantom of the phoenix that appeared in the sky of Silvermoon City last night, is someone casting [Blessing of Blood] in an attempt to enhance the blood of the fetus in Her Majesty's womb?"
"Yes."
"Then who performed this ritual?"
"It's me." Cui Sili admitted generously, without any hesitation or hesitation.
Ke Lin snorted softly, and said with a sneer, "Hehe, Cuisili, you don't think I'll thank you for this, do you?"
"Of course not." Cuisili shook her head lightly, and said calmly, "Her Majesty, as a half-elf, is not enough to give birth to a high elf royal family. This ceremony seems to enhance the blood of the fetus in her womb, but In fact, it cost the lives of their mother and daughter.
So, I am very curious, how did Her Majesty give birth smoothly? "
Of course, Colin would not tell Trisley how he saved Aisha's mother and daughter. He stared coldly into the other's eyes and said angrily:
"So you admit that you tried to murder Her Majesty the Queen?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"The Marquis Vincent of the Eastern Realm found me and promised that as long as I help him perform this ceremony and successfully cause an accident in Queen Aisha's birth, then, after the event is completed, the Temple of Destiny can control the belief of the half-elven kingdom. "
Colin was not too surprised by this answer. Whether it was the reappearance of his old rival, Marquis Vincent, or the betrayal of the Temple of Destiny, it was all within reason. What really puzzled him was the actions of the high priest .
"In that case, why did you appear in front of me again? Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
"Master Earl, the reason why I appear here is to make up for my mistakes..."
"Hehe." Colin interrupted with a sneer, "You don't want to tell me that you just performed the ceremony and put Aisha's mother and daughter in an extremely dangerous situation, and then turned your head and realized that you came to the palace in person, Want to save their mother and daughter?"
Facing Ke Lin's doubts, Cui Sili still answered calmly:
"Yes, Lord Earl. It may be hard for you to believe it, but in fact, when I found out that my ceremony was successful, the first thing I thought of was to save Her Majesty the Queen and her unborn child. You know why ?"
Ke Lin sneered and said, "Why?"
"Because I found that the [Blessing of Blood] ceremony was more successful than I imagined!" Cui Sili looked at Ke Lin with piercing eyes, "If I guessed correctly, the baby girl born by His Majesty should be red-eyed and red-haired. Right?"
Seeing Colin nodding, Cuisili's face became more devout:
"Yes, Lord Earl. I really wanted to cooperate with the Eastern Realm in murdering Her Majesty the Queen, but I thought that the fetus in Her Majesty's womb would at most be the blood concentration of ordinary high elves, but I didn't expect that it would be the most noble and the most noble. The rare high elf royal bloodline!
This must be the favor of the goddess of fate!
The high elf royal family once again reappeared in the world. How could such a miracle be compared with what the Eastern Realm promised
That's why I came to the palace without hesitation, wanting to help Her Majesty the Queen give birth smoothly. "
After hearing Trisley's explanation, Colin didn't speak any more, but rubbed his chin, as if thinking about whether her words were credible.
Seeing this, Cui Sili said again: "Master Earl, I know it's hard to convince you with one-sided words. So, I also prepared a gift for you."
"Oh? What meeting ceremony?"
"The Marquis Vincent of the Eastern Realm is still in the Temple of Destiny. If you believe me, please send an elite army to follow me back, and he will definitely be caught!"
Only then did Colin show a satisfied smile, and then clapped his hands.
A figure covered in armor quietly appeared in the living room.
Cuisili looked at the armored man curiously, and then reminded Colin: "Master Earl, when Marquis Vincent came to Silvermoon City this time, the guards around him are very powerful, and there is a fifth-order knight among them..."
Colin interrupted lightly: "You just take my people to find Vincent, and you don't have to worry about the next thing."
Seeing Ke Lin's confident expression, Cui Sili felt relieved, bowed immediately, and then turned and left.
The armored man immediately followed silently.
