Cannon Fodder Strategy

The battle between light and darkness (12)

At this moment, Aturi pulled, Lily's hand was entangled in the chain, and she was involuntarily forced to move in his direction. He reached out to hold it, and suddenly lowered his head and planted a kiss on her hand. This time it was A real hand kiss was not just a hand kiss that they didn't touch when they met before. His lips were very soft, with a slightly cool temperature. Lily felt as if she was touched by jelly at that moment, and the soft touch was on her hands. He only stayed for a while, and then he quickly raised his head again:

"Then let me tell you one more thing. I know the whereabouts of the Scepter of Light." The Scepter of Light is a sacred object belonging to the Temple of Light. Many people may not be able to see this scepter in their lifetime, but he If you have the ability to know the whereabouts of the scepter, it can be seen that the power of the Arturi family may have exceeded what the rumors in the Loland continent say. The strength of this Grand Duke is only equivalent to the king of a small country. .

After saying this, Aturi let go of Lily's hand and took off the silver chain wrapped in his hand. He sat upright with his originally bent body, regained his previous indifferent and restrained appearance, and leaned against the carriage. He closed his eyes and rested his mind.

He is simply like a devil who is good at deceiving people. He was the first to mention the Temple of Light at the beginning, but now he stopped mid-sentence.

Lily was not a very curious person, but now everything Arturi said seemed to be related to the mission. This time, there was no clue about the mission. When he talked about it intermittently, Lily felt that something was wrong. Okay, she was just about to hear Arturi say something more, so that she could have more information in her mind, and then she could reintegrate the information she now knew when she went back. No matter how carefully she analyzed it, she didn't expect that he stopped talking. Lily had the urge to pinch his neck and force him to continue talking.

"Do you know the whereabouts of the Scepter of Light?" Lily resisted the urge to ask. She was no match for Aturi. Even though he looked like an ordinary nobleman and did not pose a threat, Lily could feel it. If he really wants to move, he can kill him without any effort! She deliberately picked the topic and wanted to continue talking with him. She no longer wanted to talk to him just now. Aturi closed her eyes and nodded slightly:

"want to?"

If Lily really gets the scepter of light, then even if she cannot become the pope, after all, there has been no female pope in the past, but if she has the scepter in her hand. Most of all, the Archbishop, who has both prestige and strength, wants to cooperate with her. Then she can turn around from an unfavorable situation and turn from an abandoned piece to a pawn. Of course Lily wants that.

"Does His Majesty the Emperor know the whereabouts of the scepter?"

Instead of answering Arturi's question, Lily asked another question again. If the emperor also knows the whereabouts of the scepter, then the Holy See will definitely know about it. If this is the case, the temple has not gotten back something for many years. Even if it is known in whose hands it is, if it does not come back, it will definitely be the strength of the temple and the armed forces of the Norei Empire will not be able to reach the scepter. And if the emperor of Nore did not know the whereabouts of the scepter, but Aturi knew it, then one can already imagine the power of Aturi.

She asked this question very cleverly. Aturi's attitude made it clear that he wanted to get something from her. Instead of answering directly, she asked another question. Aturi answered yes or no, she could infer information that was beneficial to her. Even if he is silent. Lily can also get the answer from his attitude.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she asked this question, Aturi suddenly opened his eyes and laughed softly.

It wasn't the first time he laughed in front of Lily, but this was the first time he really laughed out loud. His laughter was clear and clear, like a trickling stream slowly flowing into one's eardrums. He raised his eyebrows sideways, his eyes lazy and dangerous:

"Ma'am." There was a bit of teasing in his smile, as if he had seen through all Lily's little tricks. His eyes seemed to be able to look straight into people's hearts. His eyes were not sharp, but they made people not want to be with him. A long look at each other.

"What does it matter whether the emperor knows or not? I'm just telling you that he doesn't know. With Madam's current abilities, she still can't get the scepter. If I tell Madam that he knows, what can you change?" he said at the corner of his mouth. He showed faint smile lines, as if to say: You see, no matter how much scheming you have, it is of no use if you don’t have the strength to match it; and if you have absolute strength, even if you don’t use scheming, things are still under his control. .

"Look, why would you want to know more about something that can't change the outcome?"

Lily looked a little embarrassed by his eyes. She didn't expect Aturi to answer her with such words. Although she was a little unwilling, she had to admit that Aturi's meaning was correct. Whoever has the stronger fist is the boss! She forced herself to calm down. Arturi didn't want to play scheming, but that didn't mean he didn't have scheming. She couldn't get anything useful out of him, and she didn't know what his intentions were. He took the initiative to mention these things, but... She shut up in the middle of speaking. Lily took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the amethyst chain in her hand. It wasn't until her palm felt pain from the crystal that was about the size of a child's palm that she calmed down and realized that she was holding The things originally belonged to Aturi.

The chain was tightly wrapped between her fingers. She took it off, put it on the table and pushed it towards Arturi:

"My lord, your things."

"I gave it to you as a date gift, don't you like it?" Aturi looked at her calm face, his smile had not completely subsided, he asked, Lily shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just such a precious thing. , I can’t ask for it.”

The amethyst looks large and very pure. The price of such a large piece of crystal with high color and texture is no worse than that of gemstones. The crystal was surrounded by tiny gems and was strung up by a silver chain. It was extremely gorgeous. The sunlight reflected from the car window shone on the crystal. The amethyst exuded a coquettish and bright brilliance. Lily took another look and then Look away.

Aturi was not angry at her rejection. He just grabbed the chain casually, opened the drawer of the carriage and threw the crystal chain in. When he opened the drawer, Lily saw from the corner of his eye that there were still things in the clean drawer. There was a book on it. When she got on the carriage yesterday, she had seen a book and a crystal holding the book on Aturi's desk. It must have been the one from yesterday.

The book seemed to be old. The cover should be made of sheepskin. There were ancient words written on it, but she didn't recognize it. In addition, she only saw it in a trance. When the crystal was thrown on the book, Lily vaguely It seemed like she saw the shape of the word 'pre' appearing through the surface of the crystal. It was clear that she didn't recognize the characters in this book, and she didn't know if she had read it wrong. After all, the crystal reflected the font on the book. There may be changes, and there may be some coincidences. When she came back to her senses and wanted to take another look, Aturi had already closed the drawer.

"What?" Lily's strange expression made Aturi question, "Want it again?"

He hadn't taken his hand off the drawer yet. He had clearly said he didn't want it. Naturally, Lily wouldn't regret it at this moment. What's more, the jewelry in this mission world couldn't be taken away by her. Things that others thought were extremely precious were of no use to her, and fancy clothes and jewelry were not very attractive to her. She shook her head. Although she knew that Arturi had complex thoughts and might not answer her own questions, she still kept her cool. He asked shamelessly:

"I just saw a book. Do you like reading?"

Aturi put his hands on the low table, and a few strands of light golden hair hung on his plump and white forehead: "When I am bored, I will find something to kill time."

"What kind of book is that?" His attitude was not cold and indifferent, but he was willing to talk to her. Lily asked again: "The words on it don't seem to be Lorraine writing."

"Of course, this is an ancient text, and this book..." Arturi quickly answered the doubts in Lily's heart, but when he talked about this book, he lengthened his tone, and his blue eyes His eyes narrowed. I don't know whether it was because of the light in the carriage or because of his squinting action. His eyes suddenly looked a little deep and dark: "It's the Great Prophecy Spell. Do you want it?"

When Lily heard the words 'Great Prophecy Curse', she couldn't help but laugh too.

The continent of Loland has traditions and beliefs. Human beings believe in the existence of the God of Creation, the Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Darkness, and even build temples for them. People of different faiths even join different camps.

But only for the Great Prophecy Curse, not only humans do not believe it, but even gods may not believe it.

But there is indeed a great prophetic spell in the Loland continent. Legend has it that this is a ruling that even the God of Creation can restrain. Legend has it that this is an extremely magical spell that can subvert the world and wipe out the gods.

The bards of Loland continent play the organ in major taverns. When talking about legendary myths, this magical allusion is their favorite.

And the beginning must be: God said, let there be light, and then there was light in this world.

Almost everyone in Loland knows this familiar statement, but no one believes in the existence of great prophecy.

It is like a slogan representing supremacy. It exists in nothingness. Even the existence at the top level of the temple will tell you categorically that there is no great prophecy in this world. It is just woven by bards and represents It’s just a supreme false thing. (To be continued ~^~)
