Chapter 2 The Future

Sius was lying on the ground, carefully gathering the tea leaves scattered on the ground.

Several snow-white absorbent cotton paper were released on the table, and green tea leaves were spread out on it. Seus stood up, carefully shook off the dust on the tea leaves, carefully recognized their status, and then gently placed the tea leaves on the absorbent paper.

After some hard work, Seus finally rescued most of the tea leaves in the ground regardless of his image. He was extremely relieved. As soon as he stretched his waist, the window suddenly opened silently.

A cold wind blew by, and although there was nothing in sight, the remaining tea leaves on the ground made a slight crackling sound, and something was clearly passing by.

Hearing the slight sounds that seemed to be stepping on his heart, Seus' hands were trembling.

He shouted angrily, and a short figure in the room suddenly appeared! It was then hit by a powerful force. Xius pointed in the air again, and the figure was immediately fixed in the air, neither up nor down nor down, and unable to move.

The one who was fixed by Sius was Gregory, the underground dwarf, who sneaked into the ground. He was holding a large wine bottle in his arms, and his strong smell of alcohol came out of his body, and his face was full of surprise. He wondered why Elder Sius, who had always been graceful and calm, suddenly became angry.

Xius glared at the underground dwarf for a long time before he turned his gaze back on the ground. As expected, the tea leaves that were left on the ground had been crushed by the underground dwarfs and could not be cleaned up again.

"You suddenly came, is there anything?" Sius said with a suppressed his anger and stared at Gregory.

Gregory was hanging in the air and could not move, and Sius's seemingly calm voice had a chilling feeling in his body. However, when he mentioned the purpose of coming, Gregory immediately became excited. It struggled, but his hands and feet were not moving at all, so he had to give up.

The underground dwarf looked around mysteriously, trying to suppress his voice to a very low level, but the excitement could not be concealed by any means: "Dear Elder Xius, I...I saw it! I really saw it! Although I don't understand the true meaning of what I saw, I came to you specifically for advice!"

"Did you see it? What?" Sius's ashen expressionless face had not yet calmed down, and his tone was still a little vicious.

"I saw Master Vina and Master's Master..."

Seus pounced on him like lightning to cover the mouth of the underground dwarf, and his rude movements shocked Gregory again.

Seus closed his eyes, carefully explored the surroundings, then rushed to the window and carefully closed the window, and two barriers were placed on the window and door. Then he flashed back to Gregory, lowered his voice, and shouted: "What have you seen, no matter what you are not allowed to miss it. Say it all in order!"

Late at night, the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Strau opened wide. Under the escort of a team of knights, Roger's carriage slowly drove out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the carriage, Serena sat quietly opposite Roger, her hands and fingers placed on her knees tightly intertwined. This lively girl seemed very melancholy at the moment. After all, she was still young and didn't know how to hide her thoughts, and all her emotions were revealed on her face.

Roger was pondering whether to help Straw completely lift the limit of the gap in the abyss. Although Roger has gained a lot of benefits from Straw these days, although it seems that the prime minister of the empire can no longer squeeze out anything, the fat man would never believe that this powerful minister who has been in power for many years is only so much. Just looking at how he can find two powerful men in the holy realm to support the sealed magic circle, you can know that he is not as simple as it seems.

If he didn't force him into a dead end, Straw would probably not be willing to bleed heavily. The fat man thought fiercely. He kept thinking about it in his heart that Wen Na could move some hand and foot in the magic circle and expand the gap in the abyss. However, the danger of doing so was very high. If Wen Na did not master the heat and was a little heavy, and he really let Cassinalas out, it would not be a joke. Once this happens, Straw, the largest current political ally, will inevitably fall. At that time, Rogge, who has a shallow foundation in the empire, will find it difficult to face the alliance between Alexander and Pompey. Perhaps the only way out for the fat man at that time was to take advantage of the absolute advantage in the number of powerful men in the holy realm, launch a strong attack and send these two empire famous generals on the way to no return.

But this ending is the worst. What does the fat man really want? It is not the throne or dominance of the continent. He just wants to rely on the power of the Aslofik Empire to fight back to the south. From this goal, Alexander and Pompey are pillars of the empire. Once they die, the power of the empire will inevitably be greatly damaged.

Now that the religious war has subsided, the fat man has actually won a great victory. The political struggle is still at the level of fighting for power and profit and suppressing dissidents, the situation is not uncontrollable. But if the political struggle develops to the point of life and death, it may not be beneficial to anyone at that time. Moreover, the Great Emperor and Sarah Wenger are the biggest variables in this game. How could they sit idly by and watch the situation develop to the point of shaking the foundation of the empire?

Therefore, there is no mistake in squeezing Straw. However, Straw was also a traitor. Until the day of the seal, he would not tell Roger about the composition of the sealed magic array. Although Winner's magic power is far higher than Roger, his magic control power is not necessarily stronger than Roger. It is impossible to let him temporarily explore the mystery of the sealed magic array and move some tricks in the quiet.

The Lich Algra has this ability, but it’s a pity that the powerful and evil undead existence of the Lich is absolutely impossible to see the light. Moreover, Roger could not command the Lich at all.

For a moment, the fat man was in a dilemma and his forehead couldn't help but feel a little painful.

"Rog..." Serena slowly raised her head, breaking the silence in the car.

Roger nodded and came back to his senses from his melancholy thoughts. He looked at the melancholy girl in front of him, and his penetrating eyes kept looking into her melancholy and confused eyes. Serena suddenly became at a loss, feeling that all her thoughts were hidden under the peaceful and quiet eyes of this person.

"Who are those two women today... you?" Serena blurted out. She had always been bold and straightforward, with direct thoughts, and was thinking about something in her heart. She asked intact as soon as she opened her mouth.

Roger smiled slightly, and in a blink of an eye, there were piles of lies in his heart, and they were coherent and seamless. He naturally had the best of his ability to deceive Serena, a noble girl who didn't know the world.

But before he could say anything, Serena sighed softly: "You don't have to say anything. Actually, I know their relationship with you very well. And I understand the meaning of my father. Since I was sensible, I knew that my marriage would be a bargaining chip for the family in the future. Girls like me have no freedom to choose, and love and romance are not a fate with me. The stories of knights, dragons and princesses that the minstrels preached are just legends. I have been practicing martial arts very hard, thinking that if that day really comes, I will not be helpless, at least... I can go far away. But I know more that these are all delusions."

Rogge sat quietly, listening to Serena telling her thoughts. The fat man didn't expect that her very young heart also contained so many things.

"But, this time, although I am still a bargaining chip in my father's hand, I...I..." Serena raised her head, stared into Roger's eyes, and finally said: "I do."

Roger's smile was more gentle and friendly, and he asked, "Serena, are you seventeen this year?"

"Yes."

"It's still early now. Don't think too much, practice martial arts well. I can see that Lord Straw has placed a deep feeling in you. He will definitely not use you as a bargaining chip for political chips. Believe me, he is a good father."

Serena's eyes were filled with confusion after a flash of surprise. This was not the answer she was looking forward to.

She lowered her head and said softly: "I understand."

Roger smiled and said, "You, don't be too worried. When it comes to the bargaining chips of political marriage, Lord Straw will only be willing to give your sister out. She does not have the charm of a noble woman at all, and she really embarrasses Lord Straw."

On a big tree not far from the carriage, Su Quan's body, who was listening to the sounds in the carriage, was shocked and almost fell off the tree. She was shocked and wondered, not sure if Roger's words were directed at her. However, in her feelings, Roger was very weak at this moment, and his magic power was definitely not more than ten levels. How did he discover himself?

Su hesitated for a moment, remembering all the bizarre encounters in Roger's mansion last time, he finally didn't dare to follow him anymore. When the carriage passed by, she lightly flipped and landed on the roof of the house next to the street, wanting to retreat. But as soon as she turned around, her face changed drastically and almost exclaimed!

At some point, there was a peerless swordsman behind Su. Her short hair was flying in the night wind, and she was wearing a short robe with wide sleeves, which was blown tightly against her body by the wind. Her graceful figure was graceful and graceful. Under the blue light of the full moon, the long sword in her hand radiated azure starlight, which was particularly dazzling.

Su is good at night battles. Even in the absolute darkness, Su's night eyes can't see anything. But now for some reason, she just can't see the face of the swordsman in her eyes. Maybe it's because she turned her back to Lan Yue, Su comforted herself like this.

Suddenly, a strange intuition hit her heart, and somehow Su felt the swordsman's eyes all the time on her chest.

"It seems that it's tighter. If you put on the tree trunk now, it will definitely look more like it." Jianshi said. Her seemingly joking tone showed a sarcastic murderous intent.

This sentence was like a lightning strike that struck Su. She finally remembered it and said in surprise: "It was you that day?"

The swordsman seemed to be smiling and said, "The imperial capital has not been peaceful recently. You, a girl, walk around at night. If you repeatedly break into something you shouldn't go, it may not be safe!"

At this time, Serena in the carriage had no idea about the changes outside, and just lowered her head and said nothing. Roger's ears moved slightly, revealing a smile.

Serena seemed to have been plucked up her courage, and suddenly raised her head and met Roger's gaze.

"I know that a woman born in a noble family like me cannot decide her future at all. But I still want to work hard. My father did treat me well. He asked me about my thoughts in advance. Of course I am willing. Lord Roger, can I make a request to you?"

Roger owed his body and smiled, "You said that, of course I am willing to serve you."

This is still not the answer Serena expects, but she continues bravely: "If in the near future, my father loses power, I hope...you can continue...engagement..."

"Mr. Straw will not lose power." Roger comforted her and smiled, "If Mr. Straw really proposed a engagement, I would have done it anyway."

When Serena heard the last sentence, her eyes finally showed a bright look.

Roger's carriage had gone all the way, but Su stood there in a daze, unable to move at all. The swordsman opposite was emitting an astonishing murderous aura, covering her whole body from afar. Su was afraid that once he moved, he would immediately become a victim of the terrifying sword. The more she looked, the more she was sure that the sword was the famous artifact of the Blue Sky.

At this moment, an old and powerful voice suddenly sounded behind the swordsman: "The imperial capital has not been peaceful recently. If you, a girl, walk around at will late at night, it may not be safe!"

Su was overjoyed when she saw the majestic figure rising from behind the swordsman. She turned her wrist and immediately added a long dark black sword, arched all over her body, staring at the swordsman's movements.

The swordsman kept showing his blue starlight, and he was obviously concentrating his mind to gather his fighting spirit to resist the amazing fighting spirit of the old man behind him.

Androni was not afraid of the old man behind her, but at this moment, the situation was not very good with Su and that long sword that was not of extraordinary quality.

At this moment, a clear and long smile suddenly sounded at the end of the long street: "The imperial capital has not been peaceful recently! You are an old person who walks around in the middle of the night, and I am afraid it is even more unsafe!"

When the laughter first started, Miro, who was handsome, had just appeared at the intersection of Changjie Street. What he was holding in his hand was an extremely large hammer with a hammer head nearly one meter thick!

With a long laugh, Miro took a step and appeared in front of the old man when his steps fell! The giant hammer flashing with purple light with a faint roar almost hit the old man's face in an instant!

A storm of fighting spirit that was enough to level the entire block was suddenly on the rise!

In an instant, the old man's violent cough kept ringing and quickly left!

Su Shang was shocked, and Miro's figure had appeared behind her.

She fell down dejectedly.

Until this moment, Miro's long laughter stopped.

Miro threw something to Androni and smiled and said, "This is my gift to the beautiful Miss Froya. Please pass it on!"

Until Miro disappeared at the end of the street, the clear sound still echoed in the night sky and did not dissipate for a long time.

Androni was stunned for a moment before lowering her head and looking at the gift in her hand.
