Although the old family leader requested that the funeral be as simple as possible before his death, so many complicated rituals were omitted, some mourning is still essential. The knights of the Gustave family are decorating the mourning hall in the manor house, lighting up the quiet
Hold a long candle, place a portrait of the old patriarch, and handfuls of pure white white thorn flowers. In this way, you can express your deep sorrow for the old patriarch.
Tomorrow, Xino will release the news to the outside world and invite his grandfather's former friends, including the residents of the small town of Regram, to come and mourn. It is not ruled out that some people will come spontaneously after hearing the news to visit the old family head.
There was a moment of silence at the tomb to pay homage, even though most of these people had only ever interacted with the old family head in this life because they had heard of the name.
This is often the case in social interactions. What's more, although the Goldstaff family is not powerful, their reputation in Grindelwald is deeply rooted. Almost everyone who wants to develop their ambitions in this land will make a decision before implementing their great deeds.
Let’s consider the opinion of the White Thorn Flower Crest first. In the past, the small Goldstaff family was willing to keep a low profile, which prevented them from finding a suitable excuse to contact them. Now they will not miss this golden opportunity.
The old patriarch’s wish for a simple funeral seemed to be shattered by the ambitions and desires of these people. It is conceivable that Xino will be very busy during the next period of time, which just gives Lin Ge and others sufficient time.
Time to think about a question: Since you want to rely on the power of the victorious royal power, do you have the courage to bear the curse?
At least, Ringer can't give an answer yet.
The candle lamp left by the old butler Weber was still burning in the empty and lonely cemetery, emitting heat and light. The back of the young man slowly knelt down on one knee in front of the newly erected tombstone, and gently touched the bouquet with his fingers.
The soft white thorn bouquet, eyes slightly closed, once again offered his grief, but after listening to the story told by Xino, this light sadness became more admirable.
Before that, the only person he respected was his adoptive father, Mr. Yang Ke.
Perhaps the two have the same essence, they are both the kind of people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for others.
After a minute of silence, the young man opened his eyes again, stood up and left the cemetery. His back gradually disappeared at the end of the dim candlelight, leaving only the cypress leaves all over the mountains and plains, and the lonely echo in the wind.
…
Because of what happened, it was inconvenient for Ringer and other guests to stay overnight at Chatoli Manor, so they could only return to Cloud Whale Sky Island at night. Along the way, Alice kept pestering the young man, asking him and Xino what they were doing in private.
What were they talking about? Is it related to the main mission? But Linge refused to answer any questions. He only said that he would call everyone together to discuss it after returning to Cloud Whale Sky Island.
Alice didn't understand what was worth discussing, and she thought the "everyone" Ringer meant was just the young queens, but she didn't expect that he would even contact the three sisters of the Fairy Sleep Inn, Sister Livia of Tianxin Church,
Countess Neville, Leticia's guardian, and Little Sun, the representative of the herbal garden, came to find her.
Even Ieta, who lives in a windmill tower and is inconvenient to leave, participated in this big meeting of the people on the empty island in an alternative and novel way - Lorena placed a purple conch in her place.
And there is another conch in Miss Angel's hand. These two alchemy props that Alice forcibly named "Magic Conch" have the effect of long-distance communication, allowing Iyetta to communicate with the outside world at any time no matter where she is.
, it can be said that apart from the telescope, Princess Haiqi is a rare small invention with practical significance.
"Actually, the principle is very simple." Rorona explained her practical props to everyone: "As a race of symbiotic shell beasts, twin entities of the same pair have incredible sensing abilities. It is said that this is their racial talent. So use
Props made from their shells will naturally have similar effects. However, this kind of sea beast is a rare species and is rarely seen. This pair of shells is the only one I brought from Nereids.
That’s all, even if you want me to refine another one, I can’t do anything about it.”
She spread her hands, ostensibly speaking to everyone, but actually looking at Alice, she understood everything she meant.
Only Alice understood it but pretended not to understand, thinking to herself: How could such a useful prop be given to Iyeta exclusively? She must find a chance to come over and play with it!
Iyeta, who was having a great time communicating with Saint Xalia using the magical conch shell, never expected that the thief would be paying attention to him just after he got his new toy. Ringer saw through it at a glance.
Alice was up to no good, but she didn't bother to expose it or remind Ietta. The main reason was that although these props were convenient, Ietta would gradually lose interest in leaving the windmill tower room.
If you live in a windmill tower, you can enjoy a normal life without leaving home. Someone will take care of you when you eat and drink every day. When you are bored, you can use a telescope to see the scenery, or use a magic conch to chat with friends. You will feel lonely alone.
Sometimes, you can still find someone to play with you. In such a comfortable and comfortable life, wouldn't the happy-go-lucky Angel Miss be addicted to it and completely lose her occasionally enterprising heart?
So let's let the golden-haired maid teach her a profound lesson. If it can stimulate Miss Angel and make her determined to step out of her comfort zone, it will be a great achievement - as for how she will withstand Ieta's anger in the future, it won't matter.
It's about Ringer.
It's terrible for an honest person to be angry.
A group of people occupied the lobby on the first floor of the Goblin Sleeping Hotel. Before the proprietress took the opportunity to propose a banquet, Ringer directly spoke out the core issue of this meeting, which was what Xino left before leaving.
Question. He briefly recounted the conversation between himself and Xino in the cemetery, hiding the girl's past experiences, focusing on her curse, and then asked everyone for their opinions.
After listening, everyone showed thoughtful expressions.
"The curse of sacrifice." Rorona pushed the frame, and the transparent lenses reflected the light in the hall, giving people a deep and wise feeling: "No wonder the old man was determined to die at that time. Faced with this situation, no matter how good it is,
The medicines are of no use either.”
"Human beings are such an interesting race." Countess Neville sipped her black tea and drew a meaningful smile on her lips: "In their history, there has never been a shortage of heroes who sacrificed themselves to fulfill the righteousness. Whenever I think that they
No matter how despicable they are, someone will make me realize how noble they are again. This reminds me of the founding war period of Motosh. In the war of aliens, human beings are just insignificant dust, and it is difficult to even struggle to survive.
, but there are still many people who stand up and fight to protect the weak. Some aliens think they are stupid, but Neo thinks they are all admirable warriors who are qualified to share the glory of victory with him. That Van Yinde
If Mr. Lu had lived in an era when tribes were constantly at war, maybe he would have been a great hero who was admired by others?"
She raised her chin in an elegant arc and drank the black tea in one gulp. After putting down the tea cup, she said to Ringer: "Please tell Miss Hino that the Countess Silver Eyes from the Peninsula deeply regrets the death of Mr. Van Yandru."
, I would like to express my condolences on behalf of the Valenhilde family at his funeral - if she doesn't mind that I am a vampire."
Judging from the attitude of the Gustave family towards aliens, it is probably not the case. It is said that there were vampires living in the Forest of Loser before, but those vampires couldn't stand the rules of the White Thorn Flower and left the place voluntarily.
Lin Ge nodded slightly: "I will tell her."
The Countess withdrew her gaze with satisfaction, and then motioned to Mr. Rabbit next to her to refill her empty tea cup with steaming black tea. She seemed to have no intention of continuing to express her opinion. Obviously, this was her attitude - it didn't matter.
The longer she lived in this world, the less things she cared about. On this island of cloud whales, she only cared about her good granddaughter. If it weren't for the aggressiveness of the witch association, maybe this
After the countess killed all the aliens in the Xugen Swamp, she still took Leticia to live in seclusion in an unknown corner of the peninsula.
But others cannot be as casual as her, especially those who are also the queens.
They were amazed by Xino's royal power, and the curse of sacrifice made these inexperienced girls a little afraid.
"The royal power of victory..." Oveira murmured, her eyes were a little dazed, and she didn't know what she thought of: "As long as you are willing to fight, you will definitely win. Isn't this what we lack the most? If Xino is here, we will win.
There’s no need to be afraid of the Witches’ Association anymore, right?”
Indeed.
Many people nodded in agreement: the thing they have been lacking the most is combat power. Although they have Alice's magical game console and cassette, Lorena's logistical support, and Countess Neville as the backbone,
There is also Ieta who serves as the ultimate insurance, and the three traveler fairy sisters who master fairy magic and can perform miraculous effects at certain times... Generally speaking, as long as they are not crazy and want to dominate the world, they will run rampant on the Sigiriya continent.
It should be no problem to leave.
But who makes their enemies stronger?
A huge sect that controls more than 70% of the political, economic, cultural and military resources of the Western Continent, a witch association composed of apostles and philosophers selected from countless human elites, and eight people who guide the tentacles of the witch association to secretly erode the historical trajectory.
A witch, and a mecha that is beyond human imagination and difficult to compete with manpower... Compared with this lineup, the Sky Island lineup seems to be nothing.
In Alice's words: "They are galactic battleships, and we are little broken ships."
The golden-haired maid frowned and rarely put on a serious attitude: "To be honest, I really don't know how to fight against the witch association if we don't come up with some cheat codes or something like that."
And isn't Xino's royal power the most powerful cheating code?
These are not trivial things like locking the blood, self-aiming, unlimited props and unlimited money, but they are about winning the battle. Aren't you doing so many messy things in order to gain an advantage in the battle?
However, there are still many coin minting rookies who were killed by explosions after cheating. This shows how powerful Xino's royal power is.
Alice was even thinking that if Xino was put on the battlefield alone and faced off against eight witches from the Witch Association, an unknown number of constructed mechas, and millions of crusaders, would she also be the winner?
?
Judging from Xino's own description and her battle against the synthetic monster Chimera, it is not impossible.
Of course, the Witches' Association can't be that stupid. They have already mastered the information about the "Master Knight". Naturally, it is impossible for them to throw all their strength into a battlefield and be attacked by Xino. No matter how strong the Master Knight is, there is only one person who can.
There is only one victory that leads. If there are ten battles at the same time, Xino will naturally win her battle, but losing all the remaining nine battles does not make any sense, right?
This is the so-called gap between tactics and strategy. It is estimated that it was for this reason that the Creation Goddess Cult, which had the main knight as a guarantee of combat power, lost to the Witch Association.
but!
If, if the Witch Association had given the Creation Goddess Sect a little more breathing time, the outcome might have been very different. Xino's royal power not only represents victory, but also represents hope and infinite possibilities. In a world where every battle is invincible
Under the halo, how fanatical will the believers who follow the Lord Knight become? How many believers can the growing Goddess of Creation Cult absorb? And how many are originally hostile to the Witches' Association, but suffer from insufficient strength and are willing to join them?
What about the factions working together to conspire for a great cause? For example, the Thirteen Hermits founded by Solomon. So far, the confrontation with the Witch Association seems to have always been a loser, loser, and loser. If they were given a Xino, wouldn't they want it?
The blame must be on GI for designing such a character that disrupts the balance when developing the game.
Doesn’t the official plug-in count as a plug-in?
Alice said: None of your business!
As long as Xino joins their camp, then Cloud Whale Sky Island, which once had a serious lack of hard power, will instantly gain the combat power to compete head-on with the Witch Association. What a wonderful thing this is! Just think about it, Ellie
Silk was so excited that she was trembling with excitement - because she was a genius player, and as we all know, genius players love to cheat in games.
Whether it is bugs in the game, evil gameplay, wheelchair weapons and cheats, or intimidation, threats, bribes outside the game, or even secretly scaring her to let her transform when the opponent is not paying attention (Ovela & Iyeta:...
...), as long as I can win this game, then I, the genius player, am willing to abandon everything that can be discarded, such as conscience, dignity, integrity, or electronic dragons!
This is my Alice’s consciousness!
I would like to ask if you have such an awareness.
