Evetrona's old stories

"Because...their relationship seems to be a bit special." Eve replied, "Elinde has been fluctuating in mood recently, and Tyrian's departure has hit her hard."

"Do you know why?" Sigourney asked again, seeming to mean something.

"what do you mean--"

"The first thing to say is—we are talking about other people's secrets now." Sigourney said, "The so-called secrets naturally cannot be known by too many people, but on the other hand, if the person who keeps the secret disappears, then A secret is not a secret either."

"What are you going to tell me? If it involves the secret you said, then I don't think it's better not to know." At this time, Eve had a faint guess in her heart.

"Eve, you are located between Benlong Castle and Qingshui Castle. If one day, Mrs. Hyde and I are no longer here, Irene will be in your care, and her secrets... will naturally be left to you." Come on guard."

"Me?" Eve was very surprised, "Why me?"

"You understand Tyrian's feelings, I think—you probably already guessed Erinde's parentage."

As Sigourney said, Eve did, from that short-lived spiritual contact, vaguely perceive the unusual feelings deep in Tailian's heart-her deep love, her guilt, and her single-mindedness.

"Talian is Erinde's biological mother." Sigourney said the answer.

Even after vaguely guessing the answer, Eve was still a little surprised at this moment.

"Then...who is her father?" Combined with what Sigourney said just now, Eve always felt that this was what she wanted to say...the real "secret".

Sigourney lowered her voice, "Elinde's father is Hackson Hyde."

Eve's eyes widened. She had never heard of such an absurd thing—Elinde's father was actually that Grand Duke Hyde.Hearing such a "secret", she was a little messed up now, the answer was indeed unexpected, and after sorting out her thoughts, more questions flooded out of her mind.

"Mrs. Hyde...does she know about this too?"

"She knows. Ecmona and Tyrian have always been in correspondence with each other, and the two of them also have friendship... At first, it was through such a man." Sigourney said this calmly—she has always been so calm , as if hiding all personal emotions.

"So, Hackson Hyde is Tyrian's lover." Eve frowned, "But I heard Tyrian said that her lover, um... didn't die normally."

"Hackson did throw himself into the lake."

"I've never heard of this, are you sure?" Eve stood up from the chair excitedly.

"Sheng Fengyue will not tell outsiders about such a disgrace. They only declare to the outside world that Grand Duke Hyde died in battle—and no one will expose them. After all, everyone has to maintain face."

So, does Fuger know about this?Eve thought of her dragon friend.The departure of Grand Duke Hyde obviously had a very profound impact on Fuge, just like today's Tyrian is to Ilinde... Speaking of which, can Fugemanning and Ilinde be called a brother and sister relationship?

The girl is thinking about something.And at this moment, another image from her memory flashed before her eyes: she once sat on the head of Vogel, looking out at the surface of the water from the dark bottom of the lake, the sunlight cast down in the cave-like narrow sky, gathering In a cold and swaying bunch.Fuger only said that he liked being there, but what would he really think at that time?Could it be Grand Duke Hyde's...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help shivering.

"Grand Duke Hyde...in which lake did he commit suicide?" She still couldn't help asking Sigourney.

"I don't know. I heard about this from Talian, and Tailian learned about it from Mrs. Hyde's letter at first, so you can ask this Mrs. Hyde, or pretend that you don't know anything, so as not to upset her."

"Why are you telling me these things?"

"Grand Duke Hyde has a biological daughter, and you know what that means."

"Eileen is the heir of Hackson Hyde." Eve suddenly understood.

"That's right, but Erinde wouldn't be willing to sit in that dilapidated castle, and she doesn't have the ability to sit in that position, but... if she can appoint an agent, then the situation will be very different It's the same."

"So this agent...is me?"

"It can only be you." Sigourney said, "As long as there are founders, Kriging will still be a whole, but one day, the founders will also return to dust. At that time, in order to prevent them from going their separate ways, there must be someone who stands up and acts as a bridge between the various forces to restrain them and prevent such a country from being torn apart."

Qingshui Castle, Shengfeng Mountain, Logos Court, and those distant or deeper forces... Sigourney hopes that Eve can take on the important task and become the figure behind Krigin, but Eve does not agree She wasn't overly happy - she only had worries in her heart.

"Can I... really be that kind of person?" A feeling of bewilderment spread from the bottom of her heart.

"Being a bridge must be indestructible in itself, not just because you are Hawein's daughter." Sigourney looked out the window, "At least, there is no suitable person like you in this world... we Qingshui Castle doesn’t exist, neither does Asder in Shengfengyue, and those young masters and ladies in Mengmeng City, as long as they don’t cause trouble, then thank God. Eve, the person who is not driven by desire is what we have today. People who need it, want to maintain a status quo, even have to put in more effort than in the era of barbaric expansion... Your lack of self-confidence may be a kind of implicitness created by gender, but in my opinion, you are not bad , Compared with men of the same age, you even have a stronger heart than them, but you haven't realized it yet-you can feel the weight on your body, but you are not overwhelmed by it... I think you should try to be like Think like a man, be more positive in your attitude, and don’t take the benefits of others as a burden—you know, women’s nature shouldn’t be like this.”

"Even men don't all want to make a career."

"But they are born to be able to control their own lives." Sigourney said, "You live in their world, they are born strong, but you...you need to fight for it yourself-you need to fight for this, so that they have to respect you, so that you can become a truly independent person, just like Tyrian and I did back then."

In such an era, the disadvantages of women in social status are obvious-Sigourney may be called a feminist, and she is great because she saves the same kind with her own strength, rather than using it to seek greater power.

"That's what you planned from the beginning?"

"It's not me who has this idea. Someone mentioned a similar idea to me, but we haven't met at that time, so I don't agree." Sigourney shook her head, "Maybe it was something you said that made me temporarily change my mind. Eve, do you like this place?"

"I like it, the environment here is very good."

"Aniye once said that building the bricks and tiles here by herself is the happiest thing she has ever experienced in her life. Tai Lian and I are the same. Over the years, we have worked hard to weave every aspect of Qingshui Castle. Only when you have really paid for it can you know how beautiful it is. Plain is not idle, and the kind of life you want is not something you should consider at your current age."

Eve may not be able to fully listen to Sigourney's advice, but the other party's words also reminded her of the time before she entered the academy - she listened to Mao Qi because she was too bored It is suggested that I went to Benlongbao, and then what happened later.

If you didn't act on impulse once or twice when you were young, and if you didn't have one or two shining points worth remembering in your life, maybe it was really what Sigourney said, remembering yourself when you were young, and seeing It's just a wasted life.

"I want to think about it again, can I?" Eve said.

"Of course, we're not making a decision, we're just talking about a possibility." Sigourney said, "And, unless it's absolutely necessary, I don't intend to tell Erinde about these things, so please help keep it a secret."

This is where they talked about the topic of "possibility". After that, they talked about some topics about "magic application ethics"-this is a subject that Eve has never heard of before.

Eve didn't leave Sigourney's residence until noon. She followed the other party's advice and took Tyrian's notes.

After Eve left, a burly Modesan came out from another room and sat opposite Sigourney—the seat where Eve had just sat.The man had been sitting in the room from the beginning, listening to the conversation between the two outside through a wall.

If Eve sees this person, she may be surprised - this person is Kimiros Myrobar, one of Bomen's "old friends", a man of many talents, he can be a businessman, a writer and a teacher , can also be a magician or a painter.

But what is his real identity?

"This friend of mine was always lacklustre, even a bit mediocre if not for looks, but that's not a problem - if you give her a good squeeze, you can always squeeze something out of her, and that's the best thing." Interesting place." Kimiros said, "Maybe she is not suitable as your successor, but the important thing is that Sheng Fengyue cannot get her."

"The Logos Institute seems to want her to be the leader of Shengfeng Yue."

"There is a premise - the so-called 'leader' of Sheng Fengyue is a puppet, a symbol, or the leader of the future. Eve can just become a balance point here. Whenever someone puts a bargaining chip on her, It will attract more people to bet more chips in the same game. First Sheng Fengyue, then the Logos Academy, followed by the Prosecution Office and the Vengeance Society, and after a while, the Logos Academy Seeing that the situation was not good, I found you again... Now that things have happened, even Luo Ming and others have come to add to the trouble, they are much more generous than us, they will be a knighthood if they make a move - not only that, but also a gift vicious dog."

[192] Black Magic and White Magic (Part [-])

When it was noon, everyone in the Logos Academy started to get busy unconsciously, because the consul Siheliu had just had breakfast and was about to start working now.

At this time, Domenke poked his head out from the door.

"What's the matter?" The sharp-eyed Siheliu looked at him out of the corner of his eye.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that... I found a painting."

"What is it, a treasure map?" Siheliu said without raising his head, and he didn't stop writing.

"It's the painter you hired before. It's the first time I saw his...'masterpiece'." Domenke walked to Siheliu's side and unfolded the rolled canvas in front of Siheliu's eyes. At this moment, he said to himself again: "Can this really be considered a painting?"

"Be careful, don't break it. Remember, the side with the paint will be rolled out." Siheliu stopped the pen, and he asked Domenke: "Do you like this painting?"

"It's best to laugh when you're joking. After all, considering your identity, it's easy for others to believe you." Domenke looked at the painting in his hand again. "I really can't see what is painted on it. Is this the floor and the bookcase? Then what are these vague things?"

"This is the scene of that symposium, and you are the one sitting here." Siheliu pointed to a black lump in the picture and said, "His painting is actually not as bad as you said."

Domenke's eyes moved back and forth between Siheliu and the oil painting, but he was speechless for a while.

"I remember that this painting was framed in a glass frame. If you take it off, where are you going to take it?"

"I'm going to throw it away, but the manager of the warehouse disagrees. He said that you must be notified about this matter first." Domenke said, "Look——"

"Absolutely not, this thing will be very valuable." Siheliu looked back and started writing again.

"When you say 'will' be worth a lot, you mean it will be worth a lot in the future? What's the matter?"

"Domenke, my right-hand man." Siheliu laughed, looking more helpless, "Don't be too serious——If a friend you trust, one day, one day, you suddenly have a small matter that doesn't matter. If you are stubborn, then you have to think about whether there is something you don't know about it, and it is 'really' inconvenient for him to tell you."

"Oh..." Domenke finally came to his senses, "So, the problem lies with the person who painted this painting."

Siheleu stared into his eyes and didn't make any statement, but the meaning was already obvious.

"Through this trivial matter, I doubt whether you are competent for your job...so is it still too late to change?" Siheliu asked with a smile—he was obviously joking this time.

"I admit that I was taken aback by this painting, and I am a little angry now. It was placed in the warehouse..."

"Okay, no need to explain, I trust you." Siheliu said, "You are a little timid - go and frame this painting, hang it in your office, and observe it if you have nothing to do. .”

"You're joking again..."

"This sentence is not a joke, the chat should be over, let's go."

Siheleu waved at him and stopped looking at him.

Domenke didn't continue to argue with him, because when the consul made this gesture, it meant that the conversation was over-he wouldn't say another word.

Domenke took the painting out the door, and before he left, he still couldn't help asking Siheliu: "My lord, can you recognize which one is Fanbijiu?"

"Why not. My little son is sitting on the left-hand side, and next to him is Eve Harveyn... Well, it's only been two years, now and then."

Domenke stared at him blankly, until now he still didn't know whether he was pretending or if he really understood the painting.

There were 17 founders of Klitzing—seventeen different names that many citizens knew by heart from a young age.But in the vague memories of those older generations, it seems that the number of founders was not seventeen, but eighteen... Is the memory wrong?

The painter—Kimiros was sitting and playing the piano on the streets of Mengcheng the day before, but he appeared in the Clearwater Castle of Western Union this morning—a "prank" that Loper came up with suddenly caused ripples in the space and successfully attracted this mysterious guy.

The two talked about Eve, and Sigourney sighed: "It's really not easy for this little girl with so many people watching."

"With your help, she will soon regain her freedom... A young and outstanding girl like this is the type of person who is most likely to arouse others' desire to control. Maoqi is unwilling to join forces with the Senate, That's why I've always thought of retiring, so he can't be relied on as a backer, and you still have to come."

"Are you worried that she will be used by Sheng Fengyue?"

"After the Magic War ended, Harvey asked for the disbandment of the Yuji Allied Forces Organization. He had a hunch at that time that if he wanted to continue to keep this sharp sword forged for war, it would be a disaster sooner or later. I heard that he There is an old member who is very close to Sheng Fengyue now, and this person has always been at odds with Harvey."

"You mean that person's name is Zhuo Gen?"

"It seems that you have heard of this person. Zhuogen has great ambitions, and he is still trying to restore the world status of the Censorship Office in recent years." Kimiros said, "No matter what his purpose is, this kind of thinking is very dangerous. Politicians can maximize the rationality of the existence of power by governing the poor. A country can temporarily tolerate totalitarian rule in war just to overcome the immediate difficulties. These methods are all justified-but the irony is that the poor and war... can be manufactured on demand."

"You mean, Drogon is preparing to start a war?"

"Needless to say more about the relationship between Kriging and Sheng Fengyue, the contradiction between the two parties seems to be designed by Zhuogen to deceive people - it is too obvious. Since De Loufa founded the School of Philosophy, Ben Long The castle is no longer the Benlong Castle of Shengfeng Mountain—it is not only the place where eagles and wolves were raised, but also the nursery of the Logos Academy. The two sides are always competing secretly, but now Eve is here Now, relying on Harvein's appeal, the struggle in the dark seems to be no longer attractive—the previous tug-of-war mode is coming to an end. Drogon obviously wants to see this result, and his purpose is not to run Longburg, and not Eve Harveyn—he wanted to muddy the waters thoroughly, to create opportunities for Klickin's enemies to sneak in, and to provide belligerents with a powerful excuse to declare war, for the sake of It will break the peaceful status quo that has only lasted for 30 to [-] years."

"What a dangerous person." Sigourney sighed.

"Danger is dangerous, but don't take him too seriously. Peace is just an illusion. If war can be provoked, it will happen sooner or later, because this is the most effective way to eliminate conflicts."

"How...how did you see this?"

"I didn't see anything, I just never took responsibility for what I said - it was all speculation."

"Is that so, just like when you encouraged Yi Tuen to rebel?" Sigourney's eyes were full of doubts—the first consul and the founder of the country, Yi Tuen, defected in the war with the tribes in the west, fought for decades, and then built a new country on the corpses of various countries. The source of his legendary life was because of this person's "irresponsible" words at first.

"Maybe." Kimiros sighed. "Maybe I killed Yi Tuen. Power and power will eventually reach a peak. When a person climbs to the peak, he has nowhere to go, so death easily catches up with him."

"His name will last forever, even if his life is short, it will be complete."

"The Immortal deliberately concealed his name, drifted around in a daze, and was only one step away from being satisfied every time, and 'satisfaction' was the bait cast by death, and the lifelong enemy of the Immortal." Kimiros said from his seat. Standing up, there was a long and slender silver staff in his hand——he tapped the ground with the staff, and a group of floating prints slowly rose from his feet, which seemed to be related to teleportation. The principle of array is very similar to magic.Kimiros' figure slowly disappeared under his strange spell. Before leaving, he said to Sigourney: "Dear Sigourney, you must take care of yourself."——his tone was slightly sad.

Eve Haven is unquestionably different, and Kimiros sensed it the first time she met her.

Relying on their own wisdom and thoughts, the immortals have won the favor of fate and obtained a long lifespan like elves—it seems that there are invisible creatures in charge of their destiny, and tell them: Go explore, those who have time, do as much as possible. To understand as possible!

The myth has been passed down for thousands of years, and its authenticity is doubtful, but everyone is talking about it, digesting it, interpreting it, and digging out its deeper and more applicable meanings in today's era-a nation has myths and legends, and it also has a heritage, a spiritual sustenance and a sense of pride that belongs to them alone.Elves and dwarves worship Nymphs and Tutans—they are a group of real and powerful creatures, there is no doubt—but humans are different. The objects of human worship have never appeared. People have various speculations about this in Yudi’s myths—human beings were abandoned?punished?Or self-defeating?Where did this sacred creature in charge of destiny go—was it leaving?Is it sleeping?Or is it already dead?

The appearance of Eve Harvein surprised Kimiros, because he had a feeling—Eve might also be an immortal.But he was not so sure about it, because the divine creature had never cared for such a young girl—he could keep a mature man alive, and restore the old man to youth, but to favor a young soul, perhaps There's never been a precedent... at least he hasn't heard of it himself.Eve grew up very slowly, is it related to this?Is this a favor given to her by fate?And relying on her slightly superficial experience and knowledge, how did this person get this honor?

Even Kimiros, who is very knowledgeable, has no clue about this.

The Fifth Generation greeted Eve's triumph as if they were a hero. They gathered around her and asked her what she had talked with the dean.

"I didn't say too much, just about some magic issues... I really don't know anything about it." Eve was perfunctory to everyone. Although she looked normal when she spoke, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at Erinde.

After lunch, Eve went back to the house with Erinde.

"Aren't you going for a walk today?" Erinde was hurriedly dragged upstairs by her, and only then did she realize it.

"I'll go back later... I have something important to tell you right now." She said, and took out Tyrian's notebook from her bosom.

"This is Tyrian's note!" Erinde saw the thing in her hand at a glance, her eyes were shining, "How did you get it?"

"Dean Sigourney gave it to me, but I don't think this matter should be kept secret from you." Although she couldn't say it clearly, Eve believed that - Erinde is Tyrian's daughter, this will not change, and she has the right to know this.

After hearing Eve's words, she lowered her head again, as if she had made a mistake, "This is probably what Tailian meant, you must keep it safe," she said.

"We can make another copy. If that's the case, this one can be left to you." Eve said with a smile.

Erinde raised her head and looked at Eve steadfastly. There seemed to be something sparkling in her eyes.

"I flipped through it when I came back just now. There's a lot of content in it. We'd better hurry up. Do you have any free notebook here?" Eve wanted to act immediately.

"No." Erinde only said one word.She picked up the thick notebook, sniffed it gently in her arms, and then exhaled a big breath—she looked at Eve, as if she had finally made a decision: "This thing is very important to me." In fact, it’s not that important—respecting her choice is more important to me—it’s a waste to put this book on me, and I’m very aware of my weight.”

Erinde returned the note to Eve, and when the other took it, she took the opportunity to hug her again.Erinde hugged her tightly, and Eve could feel that her body was still shaking slightly, but she controlled her emotions well this time and did not cry.

That afternoon, Sigourney called everyone together and announced an important decision—she asked the fifth-generation witches to pack up their belongings and leave Qingshui Castle two days later for the first "leaving the nest experience".During this experience, Sigourney also assigned them a mission: she handed Tyrian's bone letter to Erinde, and asked them to go to the south and bury Telly in the mysterious elf land— —It is also the hometown of her and Sigourney.

"Danger and opportunity always coexist, you have to take care of yourself." Sigourney said to the group of children, "Outside, especially in the area close to the elf land, don't touch things you don't understand, Do not leave the team and act alone, any one of you must come back safely."
