"So what's the matter? I see you don't really want to eat."
During lunch, Lorenno specially found a time to ask Elsa when Connie and Sara were not around. The wolf girl chewed beef and said, "I want to go see my mother, but I don't know how she is."
"Don't worry, that's within the empire. People from outside the empire won't dare to cause trouble in Snow Wind City. They'll be fine. If you're worried, we'll go back and take a look after the battle is over."
"it is good."
Elsa smiled, but the melancholy in her eyes did not dissipate. After discovering it, Lorenno continued to ask: "Is there anything else?"
"I've been dreaming a lot lately, dreaming that I'm always fighting some weird things. It's not the most important thing. Time keeps moving forward. Then a few days ago, I saw 'myself' and a person who looked like me. People who miss you are talking.”
"yes……"
After hearing this, the half-elf girl paused for a moment while moving the fork, and told Elsa her memory: "I also dreamed that one should be the goddess of winter and the other should be my previous life, probably the goddess of nature."
"Is that so?! I thought I might be separated from you, Arnold!"
Elsa's eyes lit up, and she dropped the bowl and wanted to hug Lorenno and kiss her. Lorenno pushed her away in disgust, but he knew what the wolf girl was thinking.
It's just that Elsa feels that she is a believer of the Goddess of Winter. The resurrection of the Goddess of Winter may separate her from Lorenno in the future. However, since the relationship between the Goddess of Winter and Lorenno is also very good, she certainly does not have to worry about this. matter.
"That's right, I entered level 16 a few days ago, and I felt something calling me from the north. Arnold, please accompany me to the north after you accompany me back to Fengxue City to see my grandma~"
"No problem, there should be nothing going on at that time anyway," Lorenno agreed, but she became a little uncertain after thinking about winning the battle, "But I might be asked to be a mascot during the negotiations between the Empire and the Federation."
"It's not that it should be, it's that it must be right."
Connie's voice came from outside the door, and Her Royal Highness the Princess opened the door curiously: "What are you talking about? You can actually talk about negotiations."
"Elsa wants me to take her to Snowstorm City and Northland, but she really needs my presence."
Connie sat down and answered: "Of course, after all, you are the only one in the royal family who can act as you please. When the time comes, all important countries in the federation will send people over... hum."
Speaking of this, Connie narrowed her eyes with an unfriendly expression. Apparently the Principality of Gray Eagle would also send someone here, but she didn't know which cousin they would send.
"The negotiation location is the Principality of Ryan?"
"Of course, if the Federation doesn't want to join the Empire, and if the Empire doesn't want to join the Federation, it's not just the Principality of Ryan."
"It doesn't matter." Aisha didn't care when she went back. "It's okay to wait until things happen. We still have a lot of time."
"Yeah, there's still a lot of time."
Lorenno smiled softly. She was only 16 years old. If she hadn't been looking for her mother, she wouldn't have been so desperate.
As the three of them were chatting, there was a knock on the door, and the soldier brought them surprising news——
After so long of trying and resisting, the Federation was finally willing to surrender, which also meant that the war was coming to an end and everyone could go home.
"Can I wear this?"
"It's not bad, but the upper body is really not suitable for you Arnold, pfft~"
"You say it as if you are suitable... Damn it, why are you still so young when you grow up? Isn't it completely hopeless?"
Lorenno was trying on dresses with Connie in the room. Salo and Elsa didn't need to be present, so they helped with the matching, although Elsa mostly just added to the mess.
Ten days had passed since the Federation surrendered, and they quickly sent out the mission to participate in compensation negotiations. The main content of the negotiations was whether the Federation or Ryan lost the war.
The Federation still wants to save face and does not want to admit that so many countries cannot defeat one. However, the Empire does not care about this. It only cares about whether there is enough money. As long as the money is enough, everything is easy, even if the Principality of Ryan narrowly loses or the Empire narrowly wins.
There is no way, the landlord's family has no surplus food. The operation of the entire empire currently requires Her Majesty the Queen to spend part of it from her own small treasury. Now that she finally has the opportunity to blackmail the Federation, she must give it a hard blow.
Several people from Ponce City came here non-stop after completing the diplomatic mission of Ponce State. In order to give the diplomatic teams of both sides a buffer time, today is a simple meeting, and it will be a few days before the official start of the fight.
Connie chose a white strapless dress for Lorenno. Since the half-elf girl's upper body looked a little thin, this dress made her more... delicate and cute, making her look like a harmless girl.
"Okay, let's go, let's go first." Connie helped Lorenno adjust the lace on his shoulders, turned to Aisha and Shaluo and said.
"Remember to bring something delicious when you come back~." Aisha lay on the bed and waved her hands feebly.
"no problem."
……
Although the banquet venue was very close to here and the house was very close, Lorenno and Connie still arrived at the scene by carriage. This was originally the house of the largest local nobleman. Unfortunately, he ran away the day Connie invaded the city, and this place became the empire. A usable venue.
Lorenno Man
Holding Connie's hand, they entered the venue and looked at them from all kinds of eyes. One of them was particularly hateful. The half-elf girl followed the eyes and raised her eyebrows slightly.
The royal family sent by the Principality of Gray Eagle was none other than the fourth prince Leigu, and the one who cast a hateful look at Lorenno was none other than the water song priest Ophelia who had a grudge against her in Crystal City. She was staying in Leigu in formal attire. around.
It seemed that she had succeeded in becoming a high-ranking priest, which was not surprising for a priest with a promising future.
But shouldn’t she be poisoned? She’s still alive...
Lorenno recalled the original situation and remembered that the toxin was latent and would only act when needed based on a technique mastered by Shadow Crow.
Chapter 634: The "old friend" who changed beyond recognition
Ignoring this former enemy who was much different from him, Lorenno followed Connie. She greeted others from time to time, and the half-elf girl nodded from time to time. With Lorenno's current status and strength, he did not need to make peace with her. Everyone just talks and makes a gesture.
"We meet again, Your Highness Connie, Your Highness Lorenno."
A proud voice came from behind. Lorenno curled his lips secretly when he heard this familiar tone. When he turned around, he was back to normal, and spoke for the first time at the banquet:
"It's been a long time indeed, Your Highness Kukul. I didn't expect that the Federation would send you here for peace talks after its defeat. I thought that a proud Dragonborn like you wouldn't come in person."
"Arnold, to be precise, the federal government failed to rescue the Principality of Ryan. They gave up fighting us for the sake of the livelihood of the people in the principality."
Connie's tone was very serious, as if this was really happening and everyone knew the facts, so it sounded more like sarcasm.
Displeasure flashed in Kukul's eyes, and he quickly suppressed it. This time, he did not have any other tasks. He was just here to negotiate. It was best not to cause any complications.
As the prince of the Fatir Kingdom left, others gradually gathered around to salute Lorenno and Connie. Listening to the extremely noisy sound, Lorenno responded with a cold face.
……
Following Connie through the banquet in a daze, Lorenno remembered nothing. When he turned back to ask his sister, he found that she had not remembered either.
"It's all nonsense, not as much news as the banquet in Ponce City. I cleared those memories."
Aya said so, which really proved that this banquet was useless and was only used to bring the nobles closer together. The half-elf girl didn't pay too much attention to it and got into the carriage with Connie to go back.
As soon as they arrived at the house, they were visited by someone outside the door. The visitor surprised the two of them. It was the fourth prince Lei Gu who had not spoken to them until the party.
"Cousin, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Connie looked at Her Royal Highness and asked what she meant. Lorenno nodded invisibly, so she agreed and went to another room with Regu Aquila to talk, while Lorenno looked at Ophelia in the living room.
Psychic perception and plant senses covered the house. Lorenno monitored the situation in the interview room. It turned out that there was nothing major there. On the contrary, Ophelia's physical condition surprised her. There were many traces of different vitality left in her body.
How to put it, in plain language——
She was a very playful person, and she had a lot of fun, and she didn't know that Lei Guqing didn't know about this.
Suddenly Lorenno looked a little weird. Speaking of which, the toxin in Ophelia's body is transmitted through contact. If the current situation is followed, if Shadow Crow activates the toxin in the Principality of Gray Eagle...
How many nobles will suffer?
There is a lot of difference from when we first met. I can only say that people change.
The half-elf girl ignored her and used her plant senses to listen to the conversation between Connie and Lei Gu. She discovered that he hoped to use Connie's power to fight against other princes. After that, the two separated the Gray Eagle Principality and established the West Gray Eagle Principality and the Western Gray Eagle Principality. Eastern Gray Eagle Principality, even if its land is smaller, it doesn't matter.
There was a big concession in terms of interests. Lei Gu knew how much he had and didn't want to ask for too much.
Regarding this matter, Connie did not answer directly, pretending to be thoughtful and thinking for a long time, and finally declined Lei Gu's suggestion.
"My dear fourth cousin, your argument is very tempting, but...what can you help me with?"
"Intelligence, of course it is intelligence," Lei Gu said with a smile. "My brothers and sisters probably won't think that I am willing to cooperate with you. In this way, the information I get will definitely be true for a period of time."
"But there is still your father and my uncle."
Connie's face was indifferent, and hatred surged in her heart. She would not underestimate this guy who was seeking power and usurping the throne.
Unexpectedly, Lei Gu actually shook his head: "That old guy will die sooner or later. After all, he is not a mage. Even if he finds many life-extending items, the upper limit of the lifespan of his soul and body is not that easy to solve."
"Reincarnation, Fountain of Youth, Leaf of Life, Body Demonization... As long as you think about it, there are not so many problems that cannot be solved in life span. If you simply wait for the soul to no longer match the body, haha, just wait for four to five hundred years."
Connie said lightly, not expecting the usurper Falk to die of old age. Although he is not a spell caster, he can definitely live for four to five hundred years in a human body due to his high position.
After that, before his lifespan is completely exhausted, he can use reincarnation to become an elf and continue to live for hundreds of years. However, he has to consider whether the human kingdom and many religions will allow him to continue to be a human being as an elf.
Class is the king of the country as the main body.
(PS: The third version of the reincarnation technique cannot reincarnate a creature that dies after its lifespan is exhausted, so it must be killed and reincarnated before then.)
In short, it is a very simple matter for upper-level people to increase their life span. The only thing to consider is the gradual incompatibility between the soul and the main material plane, or the extremely numerous "accidental" factors such as being sucked away by the River Styx during reincarnation.
Die of old age?Just kidding, it's not that easy for King Greyhawk. Even if she could, Connie wouldn't wait that long. Over time, her will for revenge might be worn away. The fleeing princess didn't want to wait until that time.
Now, just thinking about how she would lose her desire for revenge and the pleasure of revenge when facing Falk in the future, Connie felt horrified.
Hearing Connie's answer, the fourth prince Lei Gu seemed to remember something, his eyes darkened: "...You are right, he has indeed begun to look for ways to extend his life."
"What a plan for a rainy day," Connie sneered, "So you also want your father to die?"
"Why, you want to laugh at me."
"No, cousin, I think this is human nature," Connie shook her head, "but I can't trust you, that's all."
"Then let me deliver the news to you unilaterally. As time goes by, you will always trust me."
After listening to Connie's words, Lei Gu also realized that the most threatening person was Falk. His father was likely to remain on the throne.
Connie thought for a long time, then nodded and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
……
After seeing off Ofili and Regu Aquila, Lorenno asked curiously: "Connie, are you really ready to believe him?"
"Of course not. It's just multiple news channels. I haven't lost anything."
Connie looked at the two people leaving outside the gate indifferently. She would not trust Falk's children. None of her cousins were fuel efficient. The empire with direct interests was more worthy of trust.
Chapter 635 New Sword——[Lark Miravico]
The negotiation time is still as boring as Ponce City. Lorenno usually just sits at the head and nods in agreement. The other royal families who come as national representatives are also like her. Only a few like Cukul will join the negotiations. .
After spending unimportant days in boring time, Lorenno finally saw the light - the negotiations were coming to an end.
"Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo!"
Lorenno and Aisha cheered together like children, happy that they were about to escape from this boring life. Connie turned to look at the two of them and smiled helplessly, and asked Sara to help bring a pile of information. .
After the celebration, Lorenno looked at the desk curiously: "Connie, what are you looking at? Why are you so busy every day?"
"The information that Lei Gu secretly sent to me contains a lot of information about the Principality of Gray Eagle that no one else could give me, as well as some city defense or border layout. I don't know whether it is true or false."
Responding to the half-elf girl, she recalled what Lorenno said before and felt a little sorry: "By the way, I can't accompany Elsa to Snow Wind City and Northland with you. You four can go together."
"Okay~." "Ah..."
Lorenno and Elsa looked disappointed. Although they wanted to go with Connie, she was so busy and couldn't help it. However, there would be only one spellcaster in the team, which would cause a lot of trouble on the way.
Especially since this spellcaster is not a mage, but a druid.
"When Vita comes, I will send you to the vicinity of Snow Wind City. If you want to go to the North, you can take this route. The empire happens to have an official caravan going there, so you can follow."
Connie stroked Lorenno's hair and explained, telling the half-elf girl the route she planned, so that she could be considered traveling with them.
Ugh--
Her Royal Highness the Princess sighed slightly in her heart. If she could, she would also like to give herself a holiday, but unfortunately she couldn't. With real power, she really couldn't leave and had to deal with heavy work.
It's okay to take a day or two off, but it's definitely impossible to take long-term leave.
……
In order to allow the four of them to set off as soon as possible, Connie rushed to smelt Lorenno's weapons.
In the forging room, a transparent crystal blade shed inexplicable liquid in the arcane flames. The liquid was guided by the mage to cover the entire weapon, turning into mysterious and complicated incantations.
Connie recited complicated spells and used the hands of the mage to throw other materials into the fire. They all levitated and were attracted to combine with the crystal blade.
Although Lorenno said that her condition for the weapon is only strong enough, Aya is different. She hopes to have a long sword that can be used as a musical instrument, either to amplify her voice or to make music when swung. arms.
For this purpose, Connie specially used a crystal that can resonate with sound. This crystal is flexible enough and hard enough to vibrate in response to sound, but will not shatter as a result.
The small crystal blade in the flames is just the internal structure of the weapon she plans to make. In order to meet the conditions of being hard enough on the outside, Connie plans to wrap the crystal blade with mithril and fine gold.
In this way, it can not lose its magical effect, but also ensure the hardness. This ratio is a bit difficult to control. Fortunately, Aiya is there to help.
"Okay."
