When the city of Alto was still immersed in the sadness of the funeral during the day, in the mid-air near the Melzer Black Forest on the outskirts, covered by darkness and clouds, Lucien was saying goodbye to Natasha.
"Uncle Joel and the others are going to trouble you, Natasha. I have a hunch that after the delivery of the letter from the Dark Mountains, my living situation will change greatly in a short period of time, which may prompt me to become more interested in arcana and magic."
The research on magic has gone further, and in this way, the church may pay more attention to me and expose my fake death. So if John and the others are unwilling to report me, please send someone secretly to supervise and guide me, so that they can also
Reduce your suspicion as much as possible before the matter is exposed."
"This is another reason why I won't let you kill the clown with one sword. If you had colluded with me and knew about it, you would have killed him and silenced him regardless of the obstruction."
Lucien's tone was gentle and pleading, and he spoke to Natasha calmly.
Natasha, who was still wearing the simple black dress from the day, clicked her tongue: "It feels so stressful to be friends with a magician like you. There seems to be more than one purpose behind doing anything. Hey, Lucien, don't you
Could there be other things to deceive me or other purposes?"
This seems like a lot. Lucien laughed slightly awkwardly: "No way, no way."
Natasha has a cheerful personality. She just made a few casual jokes. Now seeing that Lucien doesn't want to say anything, she doesn't care. She nodded solemnly and said: "If John and the others are still unwilling to report you within half a year, I will secretly exert pressure."
, Don’t worry, it won’t hurt them.”
After promising this matter, Natasha was a little excited and a little concerned: "Lucien, there are many strange and powerful creatures in the Dark Mountains. There are hundreds of known species alone, including various dragons, fallen elves,
Trolls, shape-shifting spiders, scarlet magic trees, lightning eagles, etc., you have to be careful when dealing with them."
"Moreover, most of the ancient magicians are cruel, cold, and heartless. They are good at taboo experiments and manipulating people's hearts. They have no sense of identity with life, themselves, and things other than some specific objects. In addition to making themselves powerful and satisfying their various
There are no other thoughts besides desire. When dealing with them, you must be vigilant and alert. They are not the arcanists you meet in the Magic Council."
"Although you are delivering a message for someone, judging from normal logic, the Magic Council or the Will of the Elements must have made arrangements that will not put you in a certain death situation. However, when we do things, it is best not to put our hopes and expectations in the beginning.
When it comes to others, the only one you can rely on is yourself."
Lucien had just experienced a cruel farewell to the Joel family, and his mood was at a time of excitement and instability, so he felt very useful after feeling Natasha's concern. He joked with a hint of joy: "Natasha,
Why can't I feel your caution when you describe dangerous creatures and ancient magicians? Instead, I feel a little regretful and a little excited?"
"Of course, don't you think it's interesting and exciting to adventure in such a dark mountain range? Fighting all kinds of strange creatures and experiencing different extraordinary powers is really a great enjoyment." Natasha said enthusiastically, and then
He sighed with great regret: "Actually, after knowing that you were going to the Dark Mountains, I wanted to be with you. This would not only satisfy my long-standing desire, but also protect you. But I am Count Violet and the future Grand Duke.
My subjects, my knights, and my nobles must be taken into consideration in every move I make. Besides, I am the only relative left by my father, and I am no longer qualified to take willful risks."
Although it was a pity, she did not complain at all. The education she had received since childhood and her own personality allowed her to accept it very understandingly.
Hearing that Natasha was as careless as usual and bluntly stated that she had planned to protect herself, Lucien was a little embarrassed: "It doesn't matter, Natasha, I believe that with my strength, as long as I don't wander around deep in the dark mountains, most of the people will be able to protect themselves."
I can deal with all dark creatures. When I come back, I will tell you about the adventures I have experienced."
"Of course, you have a Holm crown ring on you." Natasha nodded relatively confidently, then smiled like a fox and took out a pair of violet petal-like earrings: "This is a gift from my elders.
'Fernando's electromagnetic communication earrings. If you are in danger, you can inform me. I know you have similar items on you. Hey, the lightning field in the Storm Strait has blocked your connection with the Magic Council, but in Alto, you
There are also reinforcements."
As a knight, her personality is more masculine. Except for the annual New Year's party where she needs to dress up formally, she never wears jewelry or other items. So until today, Lucien didn't know that she had such a magic item on her body.
I guess it was given by Mr. Hathaway.
"If I encounter danger, I will not refuse to ask for help from you pretentiously." Lucien nodded seriously, and suddenly felt some regret in his heart, and blurted out: "Unfortunately, the lightning field and long distance in the Storm Strait make the electromagnetic communication unstable.
, easily destroyed, otherwise we would be in constant contact.”
"Yeah, it's such a pity." Thinking of this, Natasha's face was filled with regret.
An idea suddenly appeared in Lucien's mind: "Should we speed up the research on arcana and send a few magic satellites to the sky as intermediate stations for communication in the future, bypassing the Storm Strait, so that we can often communicate with Natasha?"
.”
"But if other magicians knew that the birth of magic satellite and long-distance communication magic was because a certain magician wanted to contact a girl far away, wouldn't it be embarrassing? Moreover, it has not yet been determined whether this world is a planet and whether it has an orbit.
We still need to continue researching..."
"Lucien, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Lucien's silence, Natasha thought he was regretting the electromagnetic transmission, and comforted her: "It doesn't matter, anyway, we can use my uncle's name to write letters frequently. Some
Sometimes, it feels better to write a letter than to talk directly.”
After being interrupted by Natasha, Lucien came back to his senses and thought in surprise: "Wait, why do I have to think so much? Could it be... no, no, she likes women,
we are good friends."
Lucien, who felt a little strange in his heart, quickly dismissed his inexplicable thoughts and nodded lightly: "It would be good if we can keep communicating through letters, but we need to agree on the symbols with different meanings again to avoid being noticed by the church."
After the two agreed again, Natasha smiled brightly and said: "Lucien, I don't know how long it will take you to return to the Dark Mountains. According to normal calculations, it is very likely that you will miss your birthday. Since we met, every one of your
It’s a pity that I wasn’t even present on your birthday, so please allow me to invite you to do an opening dance here to wish you a happy birthday in advance.”
She bowed slightly, put her right hand on her chest, and extended her left hand, which was standard male etiquette.
Lucien said amusedly and angrily: "Your Highness, I, the man, should be the one to invite you."
After a pause, Lucien smiled gently and said, "Since we met, I have not been present at every birthday of yours, Natasha, so please allow me to invite you to this opening dance."
After speaking, Lucien also bowed, touching his chest with his right hand and extending his left hand in the same posture as Natasha.
Natasha smiled and raised her eyebrows, then stood up straight, stretched out her right hand and placed it on Lucien's left hand.
There was no music, no melody, only the strong wind in mid-air and the surrounding clouds, but Lucien and Natasha were both good at music, and their dance steps were full of rhythmic beauty.
Lucien, who has grown taller in recent years, is still shorter than Natasha, but they are almost the same, so when dancing, the two look at each other and breathe each other.
Seeing Natasha's deep and crystal silver-purple eyes, her majestic and beautiful appearance, feeling her warm and sweet scent, and her soft and graceful body, Lucien, who had had strange thoughts before, suddenly felt strongly uncomfortable, and
In the past, when I danced with Natasha, I was calm and calm, and my conversation and laughter were completely different. My heartbeat seemed to be accelerating uncontrollably.
Seeing Lucien's eyes staring and avoiding him, his face seemed to be slightly flushed, and his steps were slightly stiff. The strength of the hands holding his right hand and supporting his shoulders seemed to have become stronger, and at the same time he remained unusually silent, spraying on his lips.
The breathing between her nose seemed heavier and hotter, and Natasha began to feel that this atmosphere was too weird and inexplicable, making her feel uncomfortable.
"Lucien, what's wrong with you?" Natasha asked bluntly in confusion. There was no need to hide it between friends. "Are you worried about the Dark Mountains?"
Lucien shook his head awkwardly: "No, it's just my first time dancing in mid-air, so I feel a little uncomfortable."
"Oh, me too, the wind is very strong, the surrounding is very empty, there are only clouds." Natasha laughed.
Lucien, who tried hard to control himself but was still a little uncomfortable, and Natasha, who tried hard to help Lucien adapt, ended the dance smoothly but with some difficulty.
"Lucien, happy birthday."
"Natasha, happy birthday."
At the end of the dance, the two said in unison, then looked at each other and laughed.
…………
After bidding farewell to Natasha, Lucien frowned and flew towards the Dark Mountains. After a while, he said to himself: "Don't let me have delusions because of my accumulated lust just because I haven't been in contact with women for a long time. How could I be wrong to myself?"
My best friend has strange thoughts, and she likes women..."
…………
Natasha, who flew back to Alto City with Camille, thought for a moment, took out the pair of violet petal-like earrings and put them on her ears, then shook her head a little unaccustomedly.
After finishing shaking, Natasha noticed that Camille was looking at her ears seriously, and asked doubtfully: "Aunt Camille, what's wrong? If it wasn't worn on the ears, Lucien might be in trouble when he asked for help.
There is no way to sense it immediately."
"It's nothing. Your ears are very beautiful. Wearing earrings makes them even more beautiful." Camille replied calmly. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
