The storm caused by Hicks technology guns gradually subsided, and the Valoran collar returned to a relatively calm situation again.
The temple of wealth and the temple of power came from afar. After receiving svein's gifts, they said goodbye to Limon Tanlu and set foot on their way home without any abnormality.
The blood ripples set off by the shadow flow also ended quickly, almost invisibly integrated into the quiet situation and disappeared.
With the passage of time, the economy in Valoran's territory slowly recovered, and active caravans appeared again on town roads. Occasionally, cavalry in armor galloped by and patrolled everywhere.
The wounds caused by the abyss invasion healed slowly in the comfort of time, and everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.
......
Autumn is gone and winter is quietly coming.
Numerous snowflakes turn into thousands of white spots, dotted with Valoran's mountains and towns.
Modrian stood on the balcony, with crystal powder and pear blossoms. In an instant, it was covered with lakstark fortress. From a distance, there was a world of ice and snow.
"Well... Is it snowing?" youmi lay on modrian's shoulder, opened her bleary eyes and looked at the gray sky.
Like arousing inner interest, yomi drove the golden magic code and rushed over the fortress.
The lavender energy wraps the body. Youmi sometimes pours and bites the crystal snow particles, sometimes swings his tail, plays with the dancing snowflakes, and rolls up a few wisps of cold wind.
Looking at the excited cat in the snow, modrian couldn't help smiling softly, and the pressure in his heart dissipated a little.
Dong Dong! Dong Dong!
The crisp knock on the door echoed in the room. Modrian turned to the door and said, "come in."
When the door opened, Zhao Xin calmly walked into the study, wearing exquisite lock armor, looking heroic and outstanding. "Lord, Miss Sophia wants to return to Peris territory."
The memory rolls back, and the broken pictures of the past come to mind.
Modrian frowned slightly. From his current perspective, it was somewhat ridiculous and absurd to see the experience of the pelis territory.
Although he no longer pays attention to the people and places in the past, there are always some things buried deep in his body and can't be cut away.
"What's the matter?" murdrian asked softly, looking bland.
"It's said that Baron Brooke's lady will give birth in the near future, and miss Sophia wants to go back to visit." Zhao Xin slowly replied. As the chief manager of Valoran, he deeply knows the relationship between his Lord and Peres territory.
With bright lights, modrian leaned against the white jade balcony and looked at the gray and cold sky and the active pale golden light group.
"The glorious memorial day will come in a few days. Wait until it's over."
"OK, I'll inform Miss Sophia." Zhao Xin bowed and prepared to leave the study.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a voice called Zhao Xin to stop his steps. He looked back at the LORD with a slightly confused look.
"Choose a gift from the treasure house and take it there, and then arrange naijiuli to secretly protect Sophia." modrian said, gently waved his hand and signaled that Zhao Xin could leave.
When the cold wind blew and his fine blond hair danced, modrian heard the footsteps drifting away in his ears, looked disappointed and sighed.
......
Snowflakes flutter and cover the dug fort built near the mountain.
With the help of the dim moonlight, overlooking the former post, it becomes more and more majestic.
Numerous military projects have been built on the hillside, just like ferocious steel beasts, overlooking the distant night.
Especially after lakstark fortress became the political center of the Valoran collar, the tunwobao, relying on its geographical advantages, naturally became the bridgehead of the fortress, with the Knox Corps stationed all year round.
In the middle of the castle, the dark green main castle is decorated with steel fortresses like bright lights.
Squeak!
When the bedroom door opens, Sophia ends her meditation and prepares to go to the restaurant to prepare dinner for herself and Anne, but she doesn't want to see the housekeeper crane waiting silently at the door.
"What's up?" Sophia asked curiously.
"Lord, there is a message that after the glorious memorial day, he will arrange someone to escort you to Peris territory." crane said softly with a smile, his wrinkled eyes full of affinity and doting.
"Won't he go?"
Hearing the speech, Sophia was disappointed. When the news came from Peris territory, she had expected to meet. Now crane's news broke her inner hope.
Crane shook his head reluctantly. He was a Knox soldier who followed modrian in the beginning. He knew modrian's character very well. It was impossible for him to completely forget the past.
Then he remembered Lord Zhao Xin's orders and said respectfully, "Lord, you have specially prepared a gift, which will be brought to you at that time."
Hearing the unexpected news, Sophia's cold face showed a touch of surprise. A specially prepared gift showed that modrian's attitude had changed: "well, OK, I'll give it to... Father in person."
Crane nodded gently. The matter was over, and he didn't wait much. There were still things to deal with in dug fort. He bowed and left immediately.
In the green restaurant, several potted plants are placed in the corner.
Anne sat on the brown wooden chair, lowered her head and played with some old plush bears in her arms, and her eyes twinkled with joy.
"What would you like to eat today?"
Seeing Anne's figure, Sophia went to the table, squatted down, gently stroked Anne's head and asked.
Suovia's intimacy slightly made Anne uncomfortable, which originated from her childhood memory. Fortunately, after a period of time, she didn't hate Sophia very much.
Annie patted the bear's head carefully, raised her lovely face and said, "I want to eat cream cake."
"Ha ha, wait a minute."
Sophia smiled softly and looked down at the old bear. Although she didn't know why Annie always held it, she saw that the bear played an extremely important role in Annie's heart.
Before, she wanted to help Annie clean and repair the dilapidated bear. Unexpectedly, Annie refused to let go. She had to do it herself and didn't want others to touch her bear.
After tea, dinner was ready. Sophia and Annie sat at the table and enjoyed the delicious dinner.
"Annie, there will be a long trip after the glory Festival. Do you want to go together?" Sophia poured a glass of sake and asked softly.
"Ah?" Annie swallowed the cream cake in her mouth and looked at Sophia perplexedly. There was a little white residue on the corner of her mouth. "Will brother modrian agree?"
"He'll promise. What about us? Oh, we'll go together then." Sophia drank her sake and seemed to think of something interesting. Her cold face was full of a smile.
The lights flickered and the dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
After Sophia sent Anne back to her room, she returned to her bedroom and continued her meditation.
......
......
It's night, irvindale.
Snowflakes dance lightly, like the silver fog covering the earth. They are like fireflies in the light.
Gary mansion, this exquisite and gorgeous mansion belongs to Baron Gary.
Perhaps Baron Gary is not very famous in irvindale, but his daughter Pamela Gary has a lot of fame.
It is said that Pamela is the best friend of Lord modrian's sister Sophia, which makes many old and new nobles have an unusual attitude towards the Gary family.
The dim lights lit up the mansion, and the atmosphere was very quiet.
Suddenly, the white snowflakes falling slowly were stained with blood, and the sound of heavy objects falling gently sounded.
"Have you handled it?"
In the spacious living room of the mansion, the lights were scattered like day, and dozens of Gary family squatted together, looking full of panic.
Not far away, there were seven or eight broken bodies, with fear in the open pupils, and bursts of strong bloody smell filled the air.
"Well, well, the flesh and blood of these rebels... Well, some delicious."
The dark shadow stood next to the body, opened countless bites on the body, swallowed all the bodies, and handled the bloody smell of the air.
Dong Dong --! Hoo Hoo Hoo!
The nervous heartbeat and even breathing sound are very clear in the quiet and treacherous atmosphere, and everyone dare not move at all.
Pamela looked up at the handsome man in front of her and looked frightened. The suddenly appeared man slaughtered the family guard, then let everyone get together, but he mentioned her alone.
"Are you Pamela?" the handsome man looked down at Pamela and licked his pale lips.
"Yes... Yes, I'm PAM..."
Without waiting for the words to fall, the handsome man's head suddenly burst open, sticky blood sprayed on Pamela's face, and a dark shadow appeared and disappeared into Pamela's body.
"Ah ah..."
Endless cries of pain burst out in the living room. Pamela twisted her body wildly. Under her thin clothes, you can see fine black lines emerge, and then spread to her face at a very fast speed.
While Pamela was struggling, the rest of the Gary family watched it happen, and some even showed schadenfreude.
Dozens of seconds later, Pamela stopped twisting her body, and the black lines on her face subsided. She slowly opened her bright eyes. Her once look had disappeared, leaving all black, like ink, shocking.
"A little uncomfortable, but there's still time."
[Pamela] looks down at the wet clothes, frowns slightly, and then she looks at the rest of the Gary family.
"It will be a glorious memorial day soon. If you can't kill all of them now, then......"
"Seize the mind!"
Suddenly, hundreds of dark and thick shadows appeared around the living room, jumping on everyone with a eager attitude, and then countless painful shouts rang through the mansion.
"Damn it, keep your voice down. Aren't you afraid to attract the attention of Valoran?" said the gnawing shadow, looking at the chaos in the living room in disgust.
"Don't worry, our Lord has set up a border around us, and any movement here will not spread." [Pamela] gently shook her body, her wet clothes slipped, and her white body glittered in the light.
"And what if it comes out? Valoran, ha, it will soon cease to exist."
