The maid went around and knelt down in front of Fia, and untied the belt of her nightgown for Fia. When the white nightgown fell off Fia's body, the maid standing behind her quickly put on the corset for Fia, and then as a gift The close-fitting blouse lined with the skirt was also quickly put on Fia's flawless white body. During the whole process, Fia didn't even feel the chill. It was obvious that the maids were quite skilled in changing clothes for the Eldest Princess.
Although wearing a corset made Fia feel a sense of tightness in her chest, after all, it is normal behavior to wear it. Besides, as the eldest princess of the empire, she can't stop wearing a corset all the time. If the maid knows, the scandal will spread sooner or later. Going out, so it's better to get used to the feeling of the corset from now on - what I want to say is that Fia has already put it on before going to bed, so there is no need for the maid to do it for her.
Maintaining a blank expression, Fia continued to ask.
"Did they have any special reaction when they were notified?"
"There is no special reaction. It is normal that you do not show up for the morning meeting. The empire does not always have important matters to deal with. The prime minister is enough to handle daily affairs."
"I see."
I did not participate in the morning meeting on purpose, and letting the topic of the noble council go is only good for the present.
It has been two days since Irene Sletter and Colita were summoned, and the forces that Prince Xia Yin placed in the city are being cleared by the imperial guards, and those nobles who hide their weapons can't hold back for long.According to Eileen Sletter's feedback, Roka has already told Earl Reinhardt about the idea of joining Godley, and Earl Reinhardt also approved Roka's proposal with a solemn expression, and passed it on to Prince Shane. The matter is progressing faster than I imagined.
The only regret is that I have checked all the people in the entire royal city, but I still can't find the suspicious person who killed Graian. The blind woman gave another answer to this. Maybe the person who killed Graian was lower than Graian, but the other party With the ability to manipulate the armor to kill Graian, that's why Graian died. It's like a summoning magic caster whose fighting power is not high, but the monsters he summons are amazingly powerful.
Although this was considered an explanation, it was hard to convince Fia.
"What color do you want to wear today, Your Highness?"
"Just as usual."
"Is it black stockings or white? Two days ago, a new batch of white socks made of Fairy Silk arrived. It would be more charming to change the color from time to time."
White silk stockings...
In the past, because Anastasia said that she likes black, she has always chosen between black knee socks and black suspenders. Now that I think about it, it’s not bad to change to another color once in a while.
Fia nodded to the mirror.
"Okay, just white."
Soon, Fiya's expression became subtle.
After she nodded in approval, the maid quickly brought her a chair so that she could put on the stockings, but what Fia didn't expect was that the eldest princess even put on the stockings was done by the maid, which made Fia feel ashamed—— She obviously didn't feel anything when she put on the corset, but when she put her feet on the maid's legs, and the maid put the stockings from the slender toes to the ankles and pulled them all the way to the thighs, Fia felt embarrassed.
Although Fiya can be sure that because of the existence of nano-robots, she will never have a peculiar smell on her body, but putting her bare feet on someone else, and the soles of the feet will be held in the hands of a beautiful elf maid, still makes people feel on pins and needles. It's dirty.
Of course, only Fia was embarrassed, and the four maids still cooperated with each other as usual. Two of them stood behind Fia and waited for orders, and the other two were responsible for putting white stockings on Fia. Not only that, they also took the opportunity to praise Fei. Ya.
"Your Highness is still the same as before, even the nails are so beautiful, and the skin is so white that people are enviable. I don't know how many people in the court are secretly yearning for you. It is our honor to have the opportunity to serve you."
"Your Highness always has a faint fragrance. If His Highness wishes, there must be countless nobles lining up to pursue you."
Hey, hey, it's understandable to want to praise the eldest princess to get promoted, but what's going on with this kind of intentional or unintentional exposure of breasts? Also, is it even routine to check toes and nails?Don't you feel dirty?
If it wasn't for her self-control, Fia would have retracted her leg in front of the maid.Thinking about it carefully, Anastasia seemed to want to wear socks for herself in the past, but at that time I felt very ashamed, so I rejected Anastasia. As a result, Anastasia looked disappointed afterwards, and was worried all day Heavy.
Thinking about it now, if this was a routine, and she refused Anastasia at the time, Anastasia probably understood that she was alienating her.
It turned out to be the case.
But it's just wearing socks, is it worth the loss?Normal people should feel lucky, "I'm so lucky today, I don't have to do the dirty work of putting socks on that guy like a servant", right?
I really don't understand the minds of the maids.
Fortunately, the maids' movements were measured and extremely fast. They held the soles of Fia's feet as if they were fragile precious objects, and put the stockings and shoes on Fia in an orderly manner. The whole process took less than 1 minutes. [-] minute.
Fia really wanted to tell them whether to use the "cleaning" magic to wash their hands, but the maids didn't think it was dirty, but looked like nothing happened, and when the other two maids were ready to wash supplies, after saluting together, they left the room one by one. Before they left, Fiya also noticed that the maids seemed to be in a good mood.
Hard to understand.
If it were me, what I was thinking in my heart must be to quickly find a place to wash my hands, and secretly scolded this damn, troublesome eldest princess.
"Ha, no matter what, I finally have free time."
Fiya, who was wearing white silk and a black dress, looked around in the mirror. Just like what the maids said, after putting on white stockings, the impression of the eldest princess changed, although she was expressionless. Sometimes she is still an indifferent iceberg beauty, but overall she is a little more cute and attractive, making people think of words such as pure and flawless, delicate and soft. The combination of long black hair and red eyes is charming no matter from which angle. .
Hmm... Appreciating yourself in the mirror like this, isn't it a bit narcissistic?
It would be terrible to be seen by outsiders, Fia coughed twice, and left the mirror pretending nothing happened.According to the plan, today is the day for Prince Xia Yin to make up his mind, and he has to behave naturally, that is, do some chores casually.
After breakfast, go to Shenyue to have a look. Communicating with the elves and gods is your ultimate goal.
Thinking of this, Fia looked towards the window, where there was a translucent sacred tree emitting golden light. Then, Fia's ruby-like eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a trace of suspicion between her brows.
For some reason, she always felt that the holy tree was very similar to something.It stands to reason that she has seen the holy tree countless times in the past few days, and she should have gotten used to the existence of the holy tree, but she feels that the holy tree today is not the same as before.
It seemed that this tall, golden figure with huge branches would jump out to talk to him at any time, and even beg himself to help it.The treacherous premonition made Fia put down the towel in her hand and walk to the window, staring at the golden holy tree that occupied most of her field of vision for a long time.
At this close distance, Fia could clearly see the texture of the bark. There were not many leaves on this holy tree like a sick tree, and the lonely branches revealed an old and desolate sense of depression.
Suddenly, Fia thought of the reason why the sacred tree was different from before.
It was the dream this morning.
The weak figure that exudes golden light constantly shakes like a human-shaped starfish.
Obviously one is a tree with many branches, and the other is a human-shaped starfish, but Fia feels that they are so similar that no one can ignore that it is a coincidence. Until now, she can still recall the pleading and eagerness conveyed by the other party, and still There is a wish that as long as you help it, it will give you everything it wants.
"I remember Shenyue said that she can feel the call of the holy tree. This thing doesn't really have self-awareness, does it?"
Fia frowned slightly.
In any case, today must go to the sacred tree to see.
Chapter 42 The Sacred Tree Nearby
After Greian's incident, there are obviously many more guards in the royal city. Although the servants such as maids are still doing the work of cleaning, trimming the garden and doing laundry as usual, the tension is still lingering, as if seeing Like soldiers with live ammunition standing on the street, it makes people uneasy and subconsciously wants to stay away.
While accepting the salutes from the attendants, Fiya observed them silently. These days, she used "Cloud and Moon in the Illusory Sea" to sneak into various parts of the royal city, and used "See Through" on the nobles and servants in turn. However, no suspicious person was found. As for making Fia doubt the effect of "seeing through", there is indeed no problem with "seeing through", that is to say, the direction of investigation I chose may be wrong.
Afterwards, should we go to Noble Street outside Wangcheng...
Fiya pinched her chin with her right hand and thought about it. It took two days just to check the people in the royal city. It must take longer to expand the scope to the noble street outside the royal city.
The royal city is the residence of the royal family. Except for ministers like Graian who have made great contributions to the royal family, even the nobles like Earl Reinhardt and even Prince Xia Yin cannot live in the royal city—Prince Xia Yin has his own Therefore, there is no place for him in the royal city—they can only buy the mansion on the noble street near the royal city, and if the servants in the mansion and the complicated flow of people are counted, there are simply too many people to check in the noble street , It's a headache to think about it.
Having said that, I can't stop implementing it because of difficulties. I happen to be walking on the way to the holy tree. If there is a scope detection magic in the forbidden library of the holy tree, I can learn it by myself, so that I don't need to check one by one.
As for the complicated procedures for entering the Forbidden Bookstore, although even the managers of the high-level Elf Tower, entering the Forbidden Bookstore must go through the procedures of submitting the materials to be consulted, waiting for a special department to review, and granting approval before entering, but he is the crown prince. , and is also the manager of one of the three main towers, so he can enter and exit the forbidden library without review.
In fact, the identity of the manager of one of the three main towers alone is enough to casually check the information in the forbidden library.
Thinking of such a thing, Feiya came to the black city wall with a height of [-] meters. At the end of the road, she could see a vertically lowered gate, on which traces of precious magic metal could be vaguely seen. Not only that, the platforms on both sides of the gate There are still troops stationed on the terrain, but what is strange is that although this place is located inside the royal city, there are barriers such as horse repelling towards Fia, slow traps, and three-linked crossbows on the road. Compared with defending people outside, these soldiers Entering the royal city is more like preventing people from the royal city from going outside.
Fiya knew the identities of this group of people. They were the most powerful special forces in the imperial guards, and they specially guarded the road from the royal city to the holy tree—behind the [-]-meter-high city wall was the holy tree.The holy tree of the elves stands on a cliff, and the royal city almost completely surrounds the road leading to the holy tree, so the back door will not encounter attacks from the outside. Wang Cheng touched the sacred tree.
"His Royal Highness."
Seeing the iconic black hair and red pupils, the imperial guards at the intersection immediately stood firm and saluted. At the same time, another team of imperial guards quickly moved away the blocking road, and the vertical gate at the end of the road also burst into flames. The gears were pulled up with a clicking sound.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Fiya waved her hand lightly, and at the same time, she glanced at the imperial guards stationed inside the city gate with the "Wind of Investigation" without any trace.Two-thirds of them are in the third rank, and a few people dressed as sergeants and commanders are in the fourth and fifth ranks. Some of them are wearing magic robes, and the magic casters sitting on the ground even have ranks Sixth rank strength.
Fiya couldn't help but secretly stunned. Silval is indeed the leading power in the Northern Continent. Even if the combined strength of the three places of Aurora City, Ouluo Land and Bern City is not enough for this less than 100 troops to mop up, in the end they In Silval, it only guards the gate leading to the sacred tree.
"Deep Moon... Is Princess No.17 in the holy tree?"
Fia temporarily changed her words.
Although she knew that Shenyue should be her mother, it was really hard for her to call her mother to a girl whose appearance and age were similar to hers.
Fortunately, the imperial guard was still in the shock of Fia's sudden answer, and didn't notice that Fia called Princess No.17's name directly, so he stammered his answer.
"Uh... yes, Princess No.17 did not come out of the sacred tree today."
"I see, back off."
"Yes."
Under the watchful eyes of a group of soldiers, Fiya walked out of the dimly lit city gate alone. Then, bright light shone into her eyes, and her vision instantly widened. The magnificent scenery in front of her made her slightly stagnant.
On the sloping cliff a few kilometers away from the royal city, a straight giant tree exuding bright golden awns stands there. The land behind the city wall is full of flowers and plants—there are more flowers than grass, and they form a hazy scene under the light of the holy tree. Just looking at them, you may even mistakenly think that you have stepped into a fairyland.
Of course, this alone is not enough to surprise Fia. What is even more magnificent is that opposite the slanting cliff is a piece of lifeless red soil. If Fia wants to describe it, she will imagine the inside of Venus, the sky is covered with thick The thick atmosphere wraps and becomes dark, the whole world is filled with high temperature and great pressure, the place where the eyes can see is full of haze and red, and there is no other feeling except death and desolation.
Even though there is only one canyon separated, the two sides have completely different scenery. This side is like a fairyland, while the other side is full of death.
"Although I have read the description in the book, do I still have to come here in person to realize the huge gap..."
Fia sighed softly.
"Airflow Manipulation"
Stepping directly on this garden would make Fiya feel unbearable, her feet slightly lifted off the ground, and slowly floated towards the World Tree.
Fia knew from the book that the sacred tree grows on the edge of the abyss. At the same time, she also knew that the scenery on both sides of the cliff is completely different because this side is blessed by the sacred tree and has a lot of magic power, while the other side is blessed by the sacred tree. With the existence of the abyss, the blessings of the sacred tree cannot be conveyed through the leylines, and there is a huge mountain on the other side that blocks the warm and humid water vapor from the ocean, so the land is this withered and lonely scene.
What I want to say is that apart from the impediment of the ground veins and the blocking of water vapor by the mountains, there is another reason recorded in the legend.
According to legend, thousands of years ago, the holy son who unified the elves from tribes into a country once fought a certain dark descendant who was as famous as absolute evil under the holy tree. That earth-shattering magic war destroyed everything on this land The vitality, even expanded the original small abyss to several kilometers wide, which is also considered to be the reason for the dead silence on the other side of the holy tree.
As for the result of the war, of course the darkborn was killed by the Holy Son, and the Holy Tree returned to the hands of the elves.
Of course, this is just a legend. Thousands of years and the change of dynasties have caused many materials to be submerged in history. No one knows whether this legend is true or not.Without the ruins and other evidence, it can't be concluded that this happened in real life. Feiya believes that it is a myth like Houyi shooting the sun.
Moving forward, Fia glanced at the three towering elf towers guarding the holy tree behind her—these are the three main towers, all of which are located in the royal city, and the people inside also need to be inspected by the soldiers before they can come to this fairyland. restricted area.
If you have a chance, go to the Three Main Pagodas as well.
Fia exhaled lightly, then raised her head to look at the huge sacred tree that was only a few kilometers away from her but occupied almost the entire field of vision.
The feeling of being alive still lingers.
Originally, Fiya didn't think that the sacred tree was worth noting, but since she had a dream this morning, Fiya felt that the existence of the sacred tree made her a little uncomfortable. This kind of thing is obviously dead but seems to have self-consciousness. It feels a little depressing, and the barren land on the other side adds to the depressing feeling.
May it be just a dream.
Thinking of this in her heart, Fia quickly came to the bottom of the holy tree.
At this close distance, the sacred tree no longer showed a translucent color, but seemed to have a solid golden color. Since it looked like a projected image, Fiya tried to reach out and touch the roots of the banyan tree around her, The result is a firm and rough feel in the hand, just like real tree bark.
It's amazing.
"But how do I get in..."
The book did not say how to enter the holy tree. Fia originally thought that the holy tree would be like an elf tower, with an obvious door at the bottom, but when she floated over, she did not see this thing in the holy tree, so she had to pull up Height, look around the holy tree.
Then, she heard the sound of the bell shaking from below, which was similar to the mysterious tone of the Kagura bell.
She followed the prestige, and then saw Shenyue in a priestess costume dancing under the sacred tree.Just like when she saw Shenyue for the first time, Shenyue's Kagura was slow and soft, even without accompaniment, people couldn't help but stop for it.
Compared with a few days ago, Shenyue's holy aura is stronger at this moment, and her dance seems to affect the nearby flowers and plants, making it sway with the dancing of her body. No matter from which angle you look at it, Shenyue looks like the incarnation of nature.
A born witch.
Such thoughts arose in Fia's heart.
"Ok?"
As if hearing something, Shenyue, who was presenting Kagura, suddenly stopped moving. She raised her head and looked at Fiya with those ice blue eyes without any emotion, as indifferent as a machine. There was a mystery in the deep pool-like eyes. And full of oppressive brilliance.
It's almost like a puppet that has no emotions and only knows how to execute orders.
The last time Shenyue interrupted Shenyue's Kagura, Shenyue also showed this kind of gaze. According to Shenyue, this is because Kagura-the dance of the sacred tree itself is a kind of magic, which will manipulate the surroundings invisibly the human mind.Since she herself has no intention of forcing others to obey her, she always chooses to restore the dance of the sacred tree in a place where no one is around.
"Fia?"
Seeing Fei Ya, the indifference in Shenyue's eyes melted quickly, revealing a surprised expression, and then she looked away as if remembering something, and stretched out her hand to cover her forehead in a panic.
"You, you didn't see my eyes, did you?"
"Saw."
"See you again?!"
"Don't worry, I won't be controlled so easily, the person who can control me hasn't been born yet."
Jokingly answered, Fiya landed beside Shenyue.Because of the dance just now, Shenyue's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and even her long and slender golden ponytails were stuck together. Fiya handed the handkerchief to Shenyue who was still avoiding her.
"Wipe off your sweat first. Sorry to interrupt you again."
"Ah... ah, it doesn't matter, anyway, the point just now is almost reaching the limit. Fia wants to sit and talk?"
Shenyue, who took the handkerchief, pointed to a picnic mat not far away. There were not only lunches in bamboo baskets, but also personal items such as water bottles and handkerchiefs.It can be seen that Shenyue is very girlish. These items are either pink or pink blue, or pink and white. They are not at all mature as a three-hundred-year-old elf should be.
Feiya and Shenyue sat on the picnic mat, and then Feiya found that Shenyue, who was drinking water, was quietly observing herself, and she looked over curiously.
"what happened?"
"It's nothing... just thinking that Fiya was not affected by my eyes. Even His Majesty would be stunned for a moment after seeing my eyes. Fiya is really a strange existence."
