Wizard From Afar

Charlotte stood up and looked at him, staring at him firmly.

"Loren ·Torino, you always ask me what I think, what do I think of myself..." She whispered, her eyes a little blurred and trance:

"Then yourself What...what do you think, and what do you think of yourself?"

The slightly surprised Loren lifts the head, looking up at the expressionless female count.

"en? My Lord Duke."

"In your eyes, who are you?"

"One Knight, one wizard, one A stranger in his hometown..." The female count stared at him tightly: "Or the Lord of Torino, our Duke?"

Stunned for a moment, Loren laughed aloud: "You, you What are you talking about? I almost don't understand. What happened to make you..."

"pa!" There was a crisp sound.

Looking at Charlotte, Loren was completely stunned.

The collar was firmly grasped, and the faces of the two were close at hand.

She, what is she going to do? It’s still the same as last time...

"If you really think of yourself as the Lord of Byrne, you won’t be indifferent to the current situation." Charlotte looked at him seriously, the two of them Each other’s eyes are reflected in his pupils:

"There are more important things...for a duke, what is more important than the things that would make his duchy fall apart? "

"No, I didn't mean that!" Loren cut his mouth, and hurriedly defended: "You misunderstood, I just wanted to say..."

"You want to What do you say, what do you want to explain?" The female count interrupted him again: "If you really think of yourself as the Lord of Gratitude, you won't be indifferent to this kind of thing!"

"No, You should take advantage of your triumphant return and accumulate more power, land, wealth, and authority when you are prestigious, and strengthen your family and your own influence. This is what a duke should do!"

"Even the Black Duke once united in the thirteen collars of Byrne, and controlled the south by marrying the daughter of the count of Storm Castle, forcing the Broken Sword Tower to abandon its neighboring Scarlet Blood Castle. At the farm."

"Even that stupid'Knight idol' really thinks of himself as a duke, what about you?"

Charlotte whispered softly , With a question in his eyes: "Are you a stupid person who knows nothing about this? Of course you are not...you won the imperial trial, you expelled the governor sent by the empire, and you...won back the title of duke of the Torino family "

"In that case, why are you indifferent to this situation?"

"Because you still haven't converted from your past identity, you still think of yourself as It is a stranger who came to'ruling' this Duchy from the perspective of a bystander, and didn't notice these changes?"

"Or..." She bit her lower lip and grabbed the black hair wizard collar. Slightly trembled in the palm of her hand:

"All of this was in your expectation, even you arranged it?"

Loren looked at Charlotte who was suddenly changed , Said nothing blankly.

"Yeah, I almost forgot...you are Loren Torino." Suddenly, the female count who was still dignified just now sneered and shook the head:

"That A wizard who can tell me that he has no interest in power and wealth...how can he care about the trivial things that I care about?"

"No, I never meant that. You misunderstood..." Looking at Charlotte, who was increasingly disturbing, the black hair wizard hurriedly defended.

"If you don't want to be misunderstood..."

Charlotte clenched his collar abruptly, with a sonorous tone with unquestionable power: "Then take Come out with a decisive imposing manner, and show what a duke should look like—!"

The sharp voice echoed in the study for a long time.

"If you don’t want Byrne and Torino, who are being reborn, to fall into the past or even more terrifying..." Female count looked cold:

"Just do it What you should do!"

"Delete me, deprive me of my title, concentrate Torino's authority on you alone; choose the family you think is suitable and marry me—by marriage Forge an unbreakable alliance, let Byrne bow to you and Torino, and let the glory of the King of Knight shine on this land again!"

"In this way, a disaster can disappear invisible, grand Wedding and ceremony can also divert everyone’s attention; from engagement to formal wedding, at least one year can be won!"

"One year...hunting Fiend Legion can at least form battle strength, red blood The castle will once again be unified under the authority of one person, and you can have enough strength to fight against any enemy you think!"

Looking at Charlotte’s resolute appearance, the black hair wizard took a deep breath, he hesitated for a moment before opening the mouth and said:

"Charlotte, these...you thought of it because of the rumors and the round table council?"

He thought Take the opportunity to change the subject and disrupt Charlotte's thinking.

But... a shameful failure.

"A qualified ruler shouldn't care about the vassal's gaze, but he must not ignore it." Female count's eyes are still very solemn: "The rumors...at best can be regarded as incentives."

"The two hidden dangers of'Torino' were exposed during your expedition to the Great Green Sea...I have thought about the way for a long time."

She pressed her mouth tightly and gritted her teeth: "This is already the best way-the existence of two Torinos at the same time will only reduce the authority of the Torino family; loyalty and gaze must be focused on one person!"

Two people with four eyes Relatively, staring at each other for a long time.

High-spirited and vigorous female count, at this moment is like a martyr who is ready to die-in order to restore the Torino family to its former glory, she does not mind going to the fire rack, or will Put it on a silver plate and serve it yourself.

It is like a burning candle, ready to burn out the last bit of light.

"Charlotte, uh, um, cough, cough, cough..." The black hair wizard coughed a few times and hesitated for a moment: "I think you are in a hurry, even if you are married. It must be now!"

The female count's face immediately showed a disappointed expression, and her sharp eyes were cold and biting!

"Uh, I, I didn't mean you were wrong!" Loren waved his hand quickly and quickly explained: "I think what you said is right, very correct. Marriage is indeed the best way to build alliances. !"

"And the rumors and rumors of the Scarlet Blood Castle must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will greatly harm the authority of the Torino family. We must change this situation!"

"So... what I want to say is, what I want to say is... it's..."

Charlotte stared at him intently, his eyes getting colder and colder.

"I think the marriage is correct, but the person who should be married is not you..." The black hair wizard speaks without careful diction more and more, scratching his head desperately, looking for a reasonable reason for himself: " The person who really should go to the marriage should be... it's... it's me——!"

The air was quiet for a few seconds.

Charlotte squinted her eyes slightly, with a surprised expression:

"What...what did you just say?"

What?

What did I say?

Loren was taken aback for a moment, and when he realized that he was too late to change his mouth, he immediately nodded: "Yes, it is me who should be married."

"I am the lord of Torino , Duke of Byrne, only I can focus everyone's eyes!"

Slowly raising his eyes, Charlotte did not speak immediately, but looked at him intriguingly.

"So..." The female count asked softly: "Our Lord Duke already has a chosen person?"

For some reason, Loren's neck suddenly became cold.

"Temporarily, not yet." The black hair wizard pursed his lips: "As you know, I don't know much about the nobles of Byrne's thirteen collars. Who is suitable for whom is simply completely... …"

Suddenly, Charlotte pressed her lower lip and chuckled softly.

Loren followed and laughed.

"Salika Jonah." Smiling Charlotte said suddenly.

Huh?

"Salika Jonah...the lord of Boy." The female count was full of spring: "It seems to be a very good marriage partner."

"Comrades fighting side by side. , An alliance that supports each other, has faced Boi’s most dangerous enemy so far, and won a victory comparable to the "Great Conquest". It is also a Byrne and a Boi... The two Duchy people will present your wedding. Blessed, isn’t it one move, two gains?"

"Fanghua Zhengmao, at a young age...The most important thing is that you are both dukes and know each other well."

Loren with his mouth twitching, and looking at Charlotte whose expression changed suddenly, a not-so-good premonition came into being: "I'm not familiar to that point...that you, do you know?"

" Knowing... is more than just knowing!"

Charlotte smiled "pu chi", sighed and shook his head: "We met for the first time a long time ago, but her smile... To this day, my memory is still fresh."

"Yes, are you?!" Loren sneered.

"Why, didn't she tell you that she had visited my coming-of-age ceremony?" Charlotte widened her eyes unexpectedly, "This is really rude. If I have the opportunity, I must teach you a lesson. Teach this mother... naughty friend."

What's the mother?

Loren's smile grew stiffer.

"But it's impossible, right..." The black hair wizard opened the mouth and said with a dry smile: "Even if! I mean even if we really have this purpose... The Vault of Heaven is absolutely impossible to promise. , They won’t just watch the two duchy merge into one."

"Yes, it's impossible to succeed."

Smiling Charlotte sighed, eyes Never leave the black hair wizard's dodge eyes: "So...who is your real goal?"

"If you don't want me to marry, but use your own marriage to solve this Chaos, then which "lucky" girl are you going to marry?"

"In your heart, who is the most suitable partner to ask the marriage partner, who can help you solve the current crisis and help You won the authority that a duke deserves?"

"My lord, I need your answer."

The expression seems to be telling his last words.

Loren, who is laughing dry, can't laugh at all, and his scalp is numb.

Completely... there is no room for change.

But at this moment.

"Squeak..."

The door of the study was opened.

"pa! pa! pa! slap......"

The sound of hurried footsteps, with some panic, as if it would fall to the ground in the next second.

Charlotte and Loren turned their heads at the same time, turning their eyes to the hurried footsteps.

Sure enough... the little wizard brow beaded with sweat shuttled back and forth between the bookshelves, and the golden ponytail and hair tips were sweating like rain in the running wind.

The dumbfounded two people kept their motionless posture just now.

With an anxious face of Ai Yin, from the corner of her eyes, she finally caught a glimpse of the silhouette of a black hair wizard: "Loren, you really are here! Charles told me that..."

Before the words were finished, the little wizard stood still, and his excited tone instantly became stammered: "You, you two are..."

In seconds, Loren and Charlotte realized how embarrassing their postures and movements were-the female count with a "scruffy" expression crossed the table and pulled the collar of the black hair wizard, as if he would be lifted up in the next second. , Like a violent beating.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) There was some dispute..."

"Well, it's like this...the dispute." The frowned Charlotte coldly snorted, spit out these words from his teeth, and loosened it very unhappily. Loren's collar:

"And we have reached a consensus now, right?"

Loren could only smile awkwardly, and quickly nodded.

"Oh... it turned out to be like this."

The little wizard suddenly realized that nodded, smiled and scratched his head like relaxed: "I was scared to death, I thought you two were really It's fighting."

"Fortunately...We have encountered such a thing once before. Sometimes it is too embarrassing to make people difficult to argue!"

Glancing at Ayin, who was still "smirking", Charlotte put a meaningful look on Loren; the startled black hair wizard quickly turned his head and avoided her sight.

"Is there anything going on?" a relaxed duke asked tentatively.

"Ah! I almost forgot!"

The awakened Ai Yin hurried over and pressed Loren's shoulder: "Loren, he woke up!" "

"He woke up?!" Loren was shocked, with an incredible expression:

"When?!"

" Just now...I was about to change his dressing...Suddenly..." The little wizard at a loss, explained incoherently: "Anyway...He is awake!"

"So what's his situation now? How?" the black hair wizard asked impatiently.

"Uh...huh?"

"I asked you if he is still awake now?!"

"Yes, yes!" Ai Yin Nodded quickly, his expression was also extremely excited: "He is in a stable condition now, and the spiritual palace eroded by the void shows obvious signs of recovery!"

"Wait!"

Sit all the time Beside, Charlotte, who was always unable to speak, frowned slightly, with interrupted sullen in the corner of her eyes: "Who is the'him' you are talking about?"

"An experience The elders who are rich, experienced and knowledgeable and often crow..."

Loren, who barely received the last few words, barely squeezed a smile from the corner of his mouth:

"Halinfan ·Ashamai!"
