Volume 3 Blood and Fire Chapter 216 Seizing the House (1)
After returning to the "Pearl Goddess", Ekaterina fell into a deep sleep in her room on the ship.
Not only was she affected by the space storm, she also overdrawn a large amount of magic power. Being comatose at this moment was the best rest for Yekaterina.
After instructing the maid Jenny to take good care of Ekaterina, Ilos walked out of the cabin and looked at the endless sea and fell into deep thought.
Just now, Iloth sensed a trace of fluctuations coming from the soul of the sea monster Kraken.
Although there was another person who initiated the soul fluctuation, Ilosu's powerful soul ability was still able to capture this subtle trace.
It seems that someone or an organization is behind this sea monster, but I have never heard of such a method in the Kingdom of Hydera.
If this sea monster had obeyed the orders of the Kingdom of Hydera, it would not have allowed the patrol ship to be destroyed and sink into the sea.
Since it is not the Kingdom of Hydera, will it be the three empires?
Iroh couldn't think of it. Such methods were unlike what any country would do.
Since the sea monster has nothing to do with any country, we can only infer that it is the work of a certain force.
The structure of the continent of Toril continues to this day. The situation is clear, but there are still some unknown hidden forces. It makes me shudder to think about it.
And through this method of soul communication, it is by no means a means for ordinary organizations or forces to exist.
Although he didn't know what the principle was, Elos clearly felt that transmitting information and instructions in this way consumes a lot of soul energy, and ordinary people's souls cannot even send a single byte.
Not to mention the soul command that can control a behemoth like the sea monster Kraken, that must require a very high price, even the annihilation of the soul.
The School of Mansis...
The name of an ancient and mysterious organization appeared in Elos's mind. I don't know why, but just hearing the name of this force made Elos feel chilled, as if he had some kind of entanglement with them.
But wasn’t this Mensis school destroyed by the Holy Church long ago? Why are there still residual forces still active?
Forget it, if you don’t understand it, forget about it, why bother yourself.
Albrex, the imperial capital Wadenhof.
"Dear Miss Helen, now let's take a look at this famous painting "The Saint" by Leonardo da Vinci."
An old man with gray hair and noble temperament carefully placed an oil painting on a shelf, then used a thin jasper rod to point on the painting and began to explain.
Helen looked tired and yawned involuntarily. She had not rested for two days and two nights, but the master of Versailles who explained art to her was one of the most famous painters today, and she had spent a lot of effort to invite him back.
, there are really not many opportunities to listen to his explanation.
"The Saint itself is a mystery. Whether its current appearance is Da Vinci's original intention is still not completely determined.
There is a theory that Leonardo da Vinci made the draft for this painting, but the final composition and coloring were completed by another person, and tampered with Da Vinci's original intention.
I personally tend to say this. You see, although this painting is almost exactly the same as Leonardo da Vinci's other works in any detail, even the inner style of color, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that this painting has more
There is a sense of murderousness that is unprecedented in any of Leonardo da Vinci's works.
These differences are very subtle and require considerable artistic attainments to distinguish.
For example, the prostrate believer next to the Saint, judging from his expression, position and movements, looks more like a dying soldier on the battlefield. How to interpret "The Saint" is a matter of course in the world of painting art itself.
Major events are also a good topic to test the viewer’s artistic skills..."
The master of Versailles kept explaining and explained the knowledge about painting appreciation bit by bit through "The Saint".
There was a faint ringing of bells in the distance, and the sky began to light up slightly.
Unknowingly, Master Versailles had been explaining for more than three hours. When he saw that the time was up, he immediately said goodbye to Helenline.
An hour later, Helen regained her dazzling appearance and walked into the restaurant with the most moving appearance.
It was time for her to have breakfast with Emperor Peter I of Ablix.
Perhaps to avoid suspicion, or perhaps to give an explanation to the Queen of the Empire, Catherine, Peter I reduced the chances of meeting Helen after his wedding. Except for official business, he would hardly go to see her again for anything.
Although Peter I felt quite reluctant to let go of Helen, a considerate and charming female mage, he knew in his heart that he could not keep this woman.
First of all, Helen, as a female mage of the Mensis school, aroused the fear of Peter I.
In the past, when Peter I was still an ordinary prince, in order to ascend to the throne, he took the olive branch offered by the Mensis School and borrowed their power.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, Peter I no longer needs the support of the evil force of the Manses School. If he were not afraid of the strength of the Manses School and could not find their base camp, Peter I would have sent strong men and large armies.
Destroy this organization.
After all, Peter I naturally understood the dangers of seeking skin with a dragon.
Secondly, Helen was once the lover and subordinate of Peter I and knew many of his secrets.
As a young emperor with great talents and strategies, Peter I had stains that could never be washed away:
That is, people in later generations will only remember that he ascended the throne by killing his father and killing the king. Even if he is an emperor for eternity, he cannot cover up such a stain.
As a close person who participated in and accompanied the whole process, Helen was naturally a thorn in Peter I's heart.
Every time he saw Helen, Peter I's subconscious kept reminding him: It was this woman who helped you kill your father and king and ascend to the throne...
Peter I, who wanted to break with the past, naturally did not want to see Helen again.
But after all, at the lowest point, this charming female mage accompanied him through that boring time, and Peter I really couldn't let him go.
What's more, he controls a huge empire and is not afraid of what Helen and the Mansis School behind her can do to him. Therefore, this woman should just forget about her in the world.
However, Helen did not bother Peter I during this period, which made the emperor feel guilty.
However, Helen resigned from him a few days ago, saying that she would soon return to the organization to practice magic, but the only requirement was that he could accompany her to have breakfast every day in the days before leaving.
The reason why it was breakfast instead of lunch or dinner was because Queen Catherine had the habit of getting up late. Helen didn't want to embarrass Peter I, so she spent the last time with Peter I during breakfast.
At this moment, Peter I had already sat down at the dining table. After ascending to the throne, he only added a pair of extremely finely trimmed mustaches. Coupled with that faint smile, Peter I exuded a heart-warming charm all the time.
Mature charm.
The dining table was filled with all kinds of exquisite breakfasts. In the past few days, the two of them had tried all the famous breakfasts in the south. Today, what was placed on the dining table were all Albrex's famous delicacies.
During the entire breakfast time, Peter I and Helen not only tasted the northern flavor that was completely different from the previous day, but Helen also explained in detail the evolutionary history, production techniques and some related matters of some of the dishes that Peter I liked very much.
legend.
At the same time, Helen itself is the most perfect teaching on court etiquette.
It can be said that it is a model that can go to the hall, go to the kitchen, and even go to bed.
Even after being together for such a long time, for Peter I, every time he spent time with Helen was a rare and wonderful experience.
He became more and more confused, should he keep this woman?
Not only is she super powerful and a good helper in his career, but she also makes him feel as comfortable as a spring breeze in his life. He is really reluctant to let her go.
Then Peter I remembered his previous considerations, and cooled his heart, no longer having any thoughts of retaining Helen.
An hour and a half later, the long breakfast finally ended, but Peter I felt that time passed too fast.
As long as Helen is considerate, any time spent with her will become the most wonderful memory.
