Chapter 1018
Gently pushed aside the dinner plate, Charlotte, with some tired face, leaned back in the chair lazily, but couldn't help but raise his eyes, and then became angry again. Like sinking.
The black hair wizard on the opposite side is half-lying and half-sitting on a recliner with a relaxed face, with unfinished snacks and wine on his left hand, and his right hand is turning over the scroll just sent by the palace chief Charles. It was filled with casual smiles.
Outside the window are the flying snow and the quiet courtyard, the frozen pond, and the Scarlet Blood Castle that turned white in the winter, a world wrapped in silver and white;
In the window are silk curtains and carpets painted with various patterns, a thriving fireplace and fluorite chandeliers that are as bright as daylight, soft beds and sofa chairs, and heavy wool blankets.
The cold and the heat, the light and the dark, are separated by a wall; watching the snow scene outside the window, enjoying a beautiful afternoon tea in a warm room, spending a short afternoon and a long night lazily and leisurely. No matter how beautifully enjoying the bacon and hot soup at dinner, it is indeed in line with a standard "byrne nobleman" style;
but there is a problem...
"Here is me Room."
I don’t know how long it took, Charlotte couldn’t help but finally opened the mouth and said: "If you want afternoon tea, please go to the restaurant, or go back to your own room!"
"The restaurant is too big, and it takes a long time for the fireplace to heat up." Loren curled up in a woolen blanket comfortably, holding up a wine glass, slowly opened the mouth and said:
"As for the Duke's bedroom...I gave it to Isaac."
"Why?"
"Because he...well, to be precise, Lena Desalion thought To enjoy a time when two people are together, do not want to be disturbed-in the entire Scarlet Blood Castle Palace, only the Duke’s bedroom has a separate bathroom, cloakroom and small dining room."
"So in After carefully considered, I think I should make such a small sacrifice for my friend... You see, in fact, your bedroom is also very large. It is no problem sleeping two people..."
"Don't talk Let’s talk about it." The female count said with a cold face and angrily interrupted:
"Answer me, why do you have to come to my room?"
"Just so busy Want to drive me away?" Loren's face was startled, and his voice was trembling: "You're so tired of me that you don't want to see me?"
"Of course it doesn't matter one or two times, but the problem is It's all day and night... and don't use the tone of what I did to you!"
Charlotte grunted.
From half a month ago...More precisely, since the ceremony, Loren has been in a rather "decadent" state, lying in bed or on the sofa day and night, dealing listlessly every day. One thing, listlessly enjoying the banquet and every afternoon tea.
This lazy posture really has several points of "Lord Lord Faner", and it is also a routine routine of a Byrne nobleman.
But because it is too "normal", appearing on Loren · Torino is particularly abnormal-only to see Dalton · Kander on that rainy day, it seems that he has recovered a little from his previous state. After that, he continued to be "decadent".
Dinner, afternoon tea, strolling in the garden, or simply sitting there, sitting idly all day; only consider three things every day-what to eat for breakfast, what to eat for lunch, and what to eat for dinner .
And recently there is a trend of getting worse, and I started to rely on my room and refused to leave!
This guy, after all...
"Actually...there is no special reason." Slowly speaking, Loren with a listless expression put down the wine glass and took away the dessert plate with a fork. Little Cherry:
"I just want to experience it occasionally, what it feels like to live leisurely instead of fighting on the front line of life and death."
In a word, let the woman count Accumulated doubts and resentments for a long time, disappeared.
The Centaur War, the Dwarf Civil War, the night of the assassination of the Scarlet Blood Castle, the mission to the Fog Moon Court, the Battle of Eboden...
After getting the title of Duke, this The guy didn't seem to really relax and enjoy everything that a Lord of Byrne should have.
Even if the leisure time is now, it is still not as good as the average value of Byrne’s "decadent aristocracy", and it is nothing compared to the drunken stupor Knights in Byrne's history. Why do I feel so disgusted? ?
Is it really because you are too harsh? Charlotte, who was thinking about it, was filled with self-blame.
The black hair wizard who didn't notice the change of the girl next to him at all, still sat on the bench, savoring the fragrance of the cherry in his mouth, allowing the sweet taste to diffuse completely in his mouth.
Probably because of the honey stains, the original aroma of the cherries was completely covered, and the sweetness was lost. Of course, as for the fruits in May and June, you can still eat this kind of thing in winter. It is completely out of the consideration of the Duke of Byrne.
"Suddenly want to eat cured ham."
The lazy black hair wizard whispered.
"Okay, I'll get the kitchen to prepare." Charlotte, who didn't think much about it, replied in a low voice: "Let the fireplace light up now. The restaurant should be warm during dinner."
p>"If you don't go to the restaurant, it's here." The black hair wizard continued to ask.
"...Yes." After hesitating for a while, Charlotte still agreed: "It seems good to have a meal while looking at the snow scene."
"Let the curtains be closed, even at night. I can't see anything." The black hair wizard continued to probe.
Female count nodded: "That's right, let's start preparing now. You have to make room for the table."
"I don't plan to get out of bed today." The black hair wizard began to intensify: "Anyway, there are only two of us, and there is no need to clean up."
"But there are only two plates for the snack plate and the bedside table...Should we carry it?"
The female count began to doubt.
"It's okay." The black hair wizard looked up with a smile, as it should be by rights:
"You feed me."
The voice fell , Suddenly it became much quieter.
It is clear that the fireplace is burning, but the temperature in the bedroom can still be felt a little bit.
The silent female count slowly got up, calmly walked to the wine rack behind her, and gently stroked the fine wines she had kept for a long time-those bottles that had been sealed for a long time, and touched it You can even feel the ebbing of time in your hand.
"Hoo--"
At the moment when the shadow hits, Loren almost instinctively completed the three actions of alertness, dodge and block; then came back to his senses At that time, there was an extra wine bottle in his hand.
"Let's be unsatisfied there, bastard!"
Charlotte, who had been silent for a long time, finally roared like an explosion.
"hey hey hey...I'm kidding, don't take it seriously!"
"Ghosts believe in you!"
"Uh...this seems to be only Ai Yin I especially like to say."
"Not anymore from now on!"
"Then you have to let me explain, right?"
"You will lie to me , And Ai Yin, and everyone!"
"Not so exaggerated?!"
"Yes!"
"Then you How can you believe me?"
"Say it again, ghosts believe you!"
Charlotte gasping for breath, her mouth tightly closed, and she glanced at the empty wine behind her She looked at the black hair wizard in front of him, a whole row of neat and tidy wine bottles, coldly snorted.
"What are you thinking about...Is there really nothing to do, or don’t have a plan?"
"There is nothing to plan..." He chuckled lightly, black hair The wizard sat up and looked at her earnestly: "If I insist on saying something, I just don't want to regret it."
"Regret, what do you regret?" Charlotte turned her head angrily and gritted her teeth: " Regret for agreeing to me...really?"
"No."
"What's that?"
"Actually, I didn’t say it well, it’s just I have this feeling."
Loren smiled and scratched his head, then shrugged, his gaze never looked away from Charlotte’s face:
"I'm afraid I regret... Regret only promised you."
The silent Charlotte looked back slowly and stared at the black hair wizard.
"I hurt a friend for some reason-not intentionally, but objectively it was indeed me." Loren twitched his throat, and he hesitated:
"He...to a certain extent is a bit like you, he regards certain things as more important than himself, even more than the meaning of his life and existence, I have never understood..."
"Only you don't understand!" Charlotte couldn't help but coldly said.
“Therefore, after hurting him, I understand more how much sacrifice you made for me.” Loren said seriously:
“When I think of him The expression at that time, I was fortunate, glad that you did not become that look; at the same time, I regret that after you promised, I just made an insignificant compensation of'promise' to you."
An inexplicable emotion began to spread in her heart—the black hair wizard in front of her was no longer as real as before, and became a phantom that could disappear at any time, only because of her own memory that could stay in front of her.
The inexplicable pain is purely out of fear of loss.
After getting the desire before, I feel the same as before, after getting it for a period of time, I start to suffer from gains and losses...
It's not just him, even myself. Simple to be a little silly, but very complicated and tangled...
The self-deprecating smile spread uncontrollably around Charlotte's mouth.
"dong dong dong!"
The rapid knock on the door broke the tranquility in the bedroom, making the two of them "tacitly" and looked towards the door at the same time. ,
After a full ten seconds, Lu Sien, who was hiding behind the door, tentatively pushed open the door and glanced at it. After confirming that it was correct, he walked into the bedroom with confidence.
After bumping into an "accident" between Loren and the little wizard, Lucien became very careful about opening the door, even to the point of being overly cautious.
Every time I look at his posture, it seems as if something really happened in the room...
"The information from the Celestial Vault should have been from Carl. Colin was in charge, but because you never left... the bedroom, he passed it over to me."
The explanation of the gray pupil made Charlotte's cheeks red and couldn't help but coldly. snorted.
"The information of the Sky Vault..." Loren lowered his voice, cautiously glanced at Charlotte, and turned his head after confirming that the other party would not have a seizure before looking towards Lusien:
" Is it a battle on the front line?"
Lu Sien nodded, handed the letterhead in his arms; the black hair wizard opened the letterhead, and Charlotte on the side couldn't help but leaned forward.
At the very beginning, the information about Lotaire is still.
After deciding to enter the defense defense, the Lothar army in Deep Limburg and the Azorean elven army on the opposite side gradually completed the assembly into the stand-off phase; the opponent’s forces are increasing everyday all, and there are continuously supplies. Sent from the direction of Wuyue Court, it is inferred that the enemy has also received reinforcements.
However, there was heavy snow blocking, the enemy did not dare to attack, just organized and driven different numbers of ogre to test the defense of Deep Limburg.
Being able to organize such a large number of ogre, Ruben on the front line infers that there are two possibilities-either the ancient wood elves going south have encountered an accident, or because a large number of ancient wood elves have migrated, these ogre Rushed out.
The elves left by Lu Wen and Chen Xinglin are more willing to believe the latter.
To Loren’s surprise, this time Ruben did not recklessly continue the war after his defeat. Instead, he chose to be patient and train the army. The warriors gradually become familiar with the difference between themselves and the elves.
The two sides of the confrontation in Deep Limburg seem to have entered a state of "very tacit understanding", and each other is constantly gathering troops, raising supplies, and waiting for a formal decisive battle when the strength reaches the Peak state.
On the other side of the Eboden battlefield, the situation seems to be much worse.
With sufficient logistics and resources in Eboden City, according to Prince Rodria Azores, the little elf guarding Eboden City, he launched tentative raids on the imperial fortress that blocked Eboden almost non-stop. , Trying to seize control of the Jewel River;
Although every attack was repelled, the empire’s defenders suffered heavy casualties, but did not make the enemy pay too much, even the enemy There is plenty of time to bring back the body and weapons of Robe;
After this situation has continued for many times, the Grand Duke of Ilemand, who is in charge of the imperial defenders, has no longer dared to continue. Organize any confrontation with the small armies of the Azores, focusing more on building more and stronger fortresses, advancing in the direction of Eboden City.
Only for now, the effect is very insignificant.
"...So, our Connaught emperor finally can't wait any longer and is going to leave before the end of winter?"
After reading the black hair wizard on the letterhead , Made a rough summary.
This letter is sent from the Vault of Heaven. In other words, it is what Connold wants to see-the frontline battle is very unsuccessful. On the other hand, he is not ready to wait any longer. Let the battle continue "not going well" anymore.
"The Vault of Heaven means to prepare Byrne as soon as possible, while urging the two Duchy, Arles and Boye, to gather their armies." Lu Sien repeated the words in his memory completely. :
"His Royal Highness Connold’s Legion has been assembled and is waiting for orders at the Gem River Ferry-After Byrne’s army arrives, they will officially start pulling out."
"Gem He...So he is still going to retake Eboden first?"
"No, His Highness Connaught is going to go north—the news from the Fortress of Duanjieshan, the enemy's silhouette appeared to the north of Dujieshan. "
The gray pupil looks serious:
"This time, it is Xiong Yingwang."
