Chapter 521

The wind is cold and the snow is flying. The back garden of Earl de Kaiser's house is covered with snow. The villa borrowed by Randall's family seems to stand in the snow-white fairy tale world.

A bonfire rises from the fireplace in the master bedroom of the villa. The room is warm. Natalia holds her chin and her beautiful eyes stare at Victor opposite without blinking. There are joy, loss, sadness and prayer in her obsessed eyes.

Victor was quite surprised. He didn't expect that an ordinary female knight could convey such complex emotions only with her eyes.

If this is not an extraordinary talent, it can only show that Natalia is deeply in love with him.

Using x-3 to sort out Natalia's past, Victor found that his understanding of her was very limited. In the memory of little Baron Wimbledon, Natalia was a dispensable role, even a little disgusted. At that time, the little Baron was fascinated by Sophia, and his wife was the only one in his heart. He followed Sophia's will and established a partnership with her sworn Knight Natalia, but Natalia's enthusiasm always aroused the little Baron's sense of humiliation carefully taught by high-ranking female knights, and naturally wanted to escape each other.

In fact, Natalia is very beautiful, with light blond hair and light blue eyes, combined with exquisite and beautiful facial features, leaving a gentle and charming first impression. Her skin is white and bright, her figure is tall and plump, she is a little older, but her gestures are full of mature and moving charm.

If we go back 25 years and forget the factors of the extraordinary female Knight's self-improvement, Natalia's beauty may still be above Sylvia, not to mention Sophia. At that time, the Marquis of Wimbledon was still an ugly duckling.

According to Victor's knowledge, Natalia was born into a noble family in the kingdom of suss and was a naturally awakened female trainee knight. She left the family alone because of her escape from marriage. Later, she met Sophia in the Eastern League. They became friends and joined the Wimbledon chamber of Commerce. From Natalia's body, we can see the passionate pursuit of beauty by the Susi aristocracy.

Natalia uses the energy potion to promote her to the first level knight. If she takes the golden potion, she resonates with 24 element bits, infinitely close to the extraordinary, and her physiological state is constant at about 45 years old. After careful maintenance with expensive beauty potion, her appearance and figure will not exceed 35 years old.

However, the attraction of mortal beauty to victor is getting lower and lower. The huge differences in the level of life and the fact that he can't have children show that Victor and Natalia are no longer the same kind.

However, Natalia and Sophia have a close relationship. They live and die, rescue each other, trust each other, establish a deep friendship, share common growth experience, share wealth and power, and even share the same intimate partner. Moreover, Natalia has rich experience in the management of the chamber of Commerce and is a very rare business talent. She is sure to hold an important position in the golden mission in the future.

From the perspective of family interests, Victor should continue to maintain an intimate relationship with Natalia.

Victor looked at Natalia carefully and asked coldly, "we haven't seen each other for more than a year... Have you been looking for another man behind my back?"

Natalia was stunned at first, and soon glowed. She was surprised and said, "Victor, baby, are you jealous of me?" Then he stretched out his hands to knead Victor's face.

Victor grabbed Natalia's hand and said unhappily, "you haven't answered my question."

Natalia didn't think so. She sat in Victor's arms, put her arms around his neck, showed the ring on her fingers, and said with a smile: "of course not! I abide by the principle of partnership. I belong to you alone. I don't take the initiative to leave you, and you can't stop me."

The knight's partnership and marriage have overlapping parts, but the principles followed are different. On the knight's partnership, the principle is: power must be respected, and the lover is not a vassal.

Victor, as a powerful party, can establish a partnership with other female Knights without Natalia's consent. But he must first ask Sylvia's opinion, otherwise Sylvia has the right to propose a duel to the other party. If the female Knight wants to play Victor's idea, she also needs Sylvia's acquiescence.

As a woman, Natalia can't step on two boats at the same time, but she has the right to break up with Victor and unilaterally terminate her lover's relationship.

The knight's partner principle protects women's rights and interests to the greatest extent. They decide when to start or end a partnership, and the children belong to the mother; If they don't break up, the man can't end their partnership. He must respect each other, shelter each other, and provide treatment commensurate with his status. Their only obligation is to remain faithful to their partner.

Men's right lies in the initial refusal or consent. Once they agree, they have no right to go back. Unless Natalia has another lover behind Victor's back It's almost impossible. As long as she writes a personal letter to victor, she can end the relationship and start a new relationship. Otherwise, Victor has the right to challenge his rival and wash away his shame with each other's blood.

Before pursuing a female knight, male nobles should first check whether each other has a partner ring on her hand. It's best to go to church to find out whether she is single or has a one night stand. Don't even think about it. If you accidentally fall into the death trap, you'll be in trouble. In fact, the lover of the knight Lord is generally arranged and designated by the Lord's wife.

The church and the Senate jointly endorsed the principle of partnership, mainly because female Knights bear the responsibility of breeding blood and raising children, while male Knights may die on the battlefield that day. Protecting the rights and interests of female knights is equal to protecting the continuation of Knights' blood, and the loyalty obligation of female Knights helps to maintain the order of the Kingdom, so as to prevent young knights from killing each other for a little broken thing between men and women. The higher the status of the nobility, the stronger the binding force, and it is almost impossible to have an excuse to provoke disputes due to emotional disputes.

That's why the little Baron of Wimbledon married Sophia, and the high-ranking female Knights of kite Castle stopped looking for him. After the relationship between Catherine and Victor was recognized by Sylvia, Baroness Ariel relaxed her surveillance of them. The chebmans and the buryates asked Sylvia's opinion in advance, but Victor didn't know it at that time.

No one can steal Sylvia's things, especially the ancient and noble blood.

Of course, eating alone is not a good habit. The great nobles of Neville and SUSE also greeted Sylvia for Victor's blood, hoping that she would allow high-ranking female knights to pursue Victor freely. Sylvia didn't want to offend her allies and directly took Catherine as a shield. Although Victor Belongs to the stronger side in front of Catherine, he is never willing to provoke any high-level female knights.

Knight lovers can't get rid of it if they get involved. It's no good. It will only cause a lot of trouble. Assuming that the lover's family is facing extinction, Victor should morally provide shelter to the lover and try to help her rebuild the family.

Love is linked to political interests. Great nobles must be very cautious about the relationship between men and women.

The partnership between Natalia and Victor was designated by Sophia, and the church was well documented, and even Sylvia could not overthrow it.

Whether Victor has true feelings for Natalia or not, at this moment, he should show his demeanor and respect for his knight partner. If we meet again after a long separation with our lover, we must put aside the business first. The ordinary booing and asking for warmth also seems indifferent to the relationship between the two sides. On the contrary, the unreasonable "stingy and jealous" can appropriately express closeness and attention.

The two made out for a long time, and the strangeness brought by the long separation gradually faded, as if it had returned to the past. Natalia leaned against Victor's shoulder and said with a smile: "when we were in the Marquis house, I always held you, and you still looked unhappy... You hold me now, I'm a little not used to... But I'm very happy."

Victor said sincerely, "at that time, I was charmed by the blood of purple eyes. Sophia was the only one in my eyes. After leaving her, I found myself and remembered many people and things I ignored... Dear Natalia, I apologize for the little Baron of Wimbledon."

Natalia was silent for a moment, repressed her vibrato and said, "whether it's true or false, I'm moved by you... But I'm not jealous of your enthusiasm for Sophia. Without her, I can't have a lovely and beautiful little husband... Sophia satisfies all my fantasies about life."

"Well, Sophia is your best sister."

Victor smacked his mouth, picked up Natalia's blonde hair and asked, "what was your dream? Your birth should be higher than Sophia. Why did you go out to wander?"

The mature and beautiful female Knight puffed up her cheeks, and her naive look exposed her maiden nature. She angrily said, "I don't need to mention the name of my blood family. I'm a distant relative of the Mackenzie family..."

"The Duke of the south of Mackenzie suss, the Red Eagle family?"

Natalia nodded: "HMM. I naturally woke up at the age of 15 and resonated with six elements at the age of 19. According to the family rules, noble women who could not be promoted to Knights must serve high-level Knights before the age of 20. At that time, the master arranged for me by the family was the young son of Duke Mackenzie... I was ready to marry, but my cousin quietly told me that female trainee Knights serve high-level knights and have their own The knight's road will be cut off. "

"Alas, I'm still a little unwilling... My cousin encouraged me to run away from marriage and covered for me. My brain ran away when I was hot..." Natalia said bitterly: "later I learned that the bitch married Duke Mackenzie's young son for me and became the personal maid of the Silver Knight."

Victor was stunned. This is simply a dog blood story about a silly white and sweet noble girl who was designed by her cousin and replaced by her. The most tragic thing is that she didn't reach the peak of her life. She still took energy potion and cut off the road of high-level knights. Her cousin has a family, children and a noble and powerful husband. If nothing happens, she may also be a woman now Knight.

Victor asked curiously, "why do you take energy potion when you pay sacrifices and suffer hardships?"

Natalia sighed: "I didn't know anything at that time, but reality was much more cruel than fantasy... I left the family and didn't have enough to eat. I met Sophia. We two trainee knights had to rely on Aunt Helen. Later, we couldn't help it. We gave up our Ranger career and joined the Wimbledon chamber of Commerce... Sophia was bold and carried secret silver in the dusk forest, but it was noticed by the people of the medin family. If we were caught, the consequences would be unimaginable. So we ran away from the wild and were stopped by the jackals on the way. At that time, the situation was critical. Sophia would rather die than take the energy potion. I was really afraid. Taking the potion to be promoted to Knight... That's it. "

Victor couldn't help laughing. Natalia said angrily, "don't laugh."

Not good, she said, Victor laughed louder. Finally, even Natalia laughed.

The stories of Natalia and Sophia hide too much bitterness and danger. Victor admired their toughness and friendship, nodded and said, "if there is a chance in the future, I'll take a bad breath for you."

"You mean my cousin?" Natalia smiled softly: "It's really unnecessary. I'm much better than her now... Sophia and I once dreamed of becoming famous, leading a group of followers and starting our own family. Unfortunately, the road of Ranger didn't go through... We joined the chamber of Commerce, dreamed of becoming a big business aristocrat and raising a beautiful and obedient little husband, just like queen SUS. Don't you think our dream has come true, Susi The king's lovers are not as good as you... Now, the nobles of Sasan and dodo are talking about the glorious deeds and academic achievements of viscount Randall. They all say that you are a natural wisdom comparable to the noble daughter of Arya... Honey, you are now famous. Sophia and I are proud of you. "

Victor touched his smooth chin and said solemnly: "this statement is very correct. Almost no female Knight Rangers explore the wilderness and establish a family. As long as they marry a good man, they can realize their ideals. Obviously, you and Sophia are the most successful models."

Natalia smiled wildly, fell into Victor's arms for a long time, then looked up and said, "Dear Victor, I believe it."

Victor nodded and said, "on a snowy day, you came to Neville from dodo kingdom to meet me. Sophia must have a problem."

"Yes."

Natalia pulled up her blond hair, straightened her dress, sat next to victor and said positively, "have you heard that Sophia has entered into a new trade agreement with the barbarians?"

"I'd like to hear it in detail."

"In fact, the new trade agreement is an alliance mainly offering rewards and supplemented by trade..." Natalia frowned and described it.

In the water season last year, Sophia arrived at the harlottes fortress with the priests of the shining knights. The barbarian elders of the old school did not welcome outsiders into the holy land, blocked them out of the fortress, and asked Sophia urusa to take all the priests away. It was no use for the barbarian elders to mediate, because the barbarian elders of the old school accounted for the vast majority. Therefore, the barbarian elders mentioned it There was a way for the clergy to accept the test of barbarians and hunt a powerful beast alone. The successful people can enter the fortress and the unsuccessful people will be buried in the belly of the beast.

The target of barbarians' trial is stronger than themselves. The golden paladins who lead the team are designated to hunt and kill a ground dragon. However, the arete plateau is a forbidden place. Paladins and priests can't use divine magic, and the Holy paladins who live in the body can only use holy power. Without divine magic blessing, how can priests hunt and kill ground dragons and snow monsters alone?

The golden Paladin Clark testier proposed to the barbarian that they enter the underground pit of the mountain dwarves and collectively hunt a sheep monster queen. The barbarian elder agreed to his request.

Sophia, agray and Wallace led six silver order ruling warriors into the dwarf tunnel and successfully completed the task of hunting the sheep monster queen. However, nine people went in and four came out, and five ruling warriors were buried in the underground tunnel.

The barbarian elders accepted the clergy of the shining church and made a covenant with Sophia and others in harlottes fortress. The main content is that the Mountain Tribe cancelled the four-year barbarian people's fair and set up a material trade point in Teuton duchy to trade with human countries all year round. In addition to normal material exchange, the barbarians can use the head of the queen grello goat monster Exchange 50 pairs of refined iron weapons and 100 reindeer for human beings, and the heads of grello soldiers can exchange 10 pairs of weapons and 20 reindeer; human beings must sell at least 800 strong beasts to barbarians every year to help barbarians hold newborn ceremony.

The bravery of the clergy was recognized by the barbarian elders, but they failed to complete the barbarian trial alone. Halotes did not recognize their urusa identity, but only admitted that they were followers of Sophia urusa. The object of the covenant was Sophia alone, and she was responsible for cashing all rewards and transactions.

Hearing this, Victor looked dignified and asked in a deep voice, "the content of the covenant was also put forward by deputy head Clark testier?"

"It seems so." Natalia replied and said, "Sophia won't tell me the specific details..."

Victor got up, went to the window, looked at the snow outside through the crystal window, and said slowly, "the situation may be worse than expected... The specific details really need to be kept secret."

Grello goat monster is a kind of monster living on the yarret plateau. They have the characteristics of omnivory, cannibalism and reproductive expansion. The queen of goat monster can give birth to a group of goat monsters; the little goat monster eats all kinds of plants and grows rapidly, and feeds itself for the queen of goat monster and the soldiers of goat monster, similar to the survival mechanism of food collection and food transformation; ordinary goat monsters kill each other and eat the meat of the same kind , it rapidly evolved into a male warrior, whose strength and physique are comparable to ogres; when the sheep monster population multiplied to a certain extent, it will produce a new queen and split and expand outward.

The expansion mode of the sheep monster population is very efficient. If there were no barbarians and mountain dwarves to kill the sheep monster, they might have spread from the arete plateau to the Northern Wilderness and even into the human kingdom.

When the mountain dwarves moved away from the arete plateau, the ecological balance of arete was also broken. The sheep monster invades the dwarf's underground pit, breeds in it, and continues to expand to the outside. The tall barbarians had nothing to do with the sheep monster group in the pit. The life of the people in the upper part of the mountain was difficult and declining day by day. Human beings must be alert to two possible changes in the future: Barbarians down the mountain, and then grello sheep monsters down the mountain.

No matter what kind of situation, it is a disaster for the human country.

The Knights of glory certainly wanted to bypass Sophia and establish direct diplomatic ties with the barbarians. So what did the deputy head of the shining Knights see in the dwarf pit, and even made a reward trade pact with harlottes fortress?

It's obvious that arete's ecological imbalance has become a strategic imbalance, Clark Testier would rather let Sophia temporarily monopolize barbarian diplomacy and trade, but also quickly build a new yarret strategic balance.

Victor's heart was heavy. He always suspected that the grello goat monster had something to do with the enemy invading the alchemical empire. Because the alchemy tower makes alchemy creatures by consuming natural resources. The grello sheep monsters multiply rapidly and destroy the environment. They chew all the renewable animal and plant resources, and the alchemy tower can only stop running.

The sheep monster in the dwarf pit is abnormal. Does that mean that the Great Rift of ARIT patrolled by the barbarians will also change? Are the enemies of the alchemy Empire ready to move?

no way! I have to find Sophia as soon as possible to find out the details of the dwarf pit... Victor turned and asked, "where is Sophia now?"

Natalia thought for a moment and replied, "at this time, she and the stag caravan should take shelter from the snow in the Marquis de wemick of Dodo kingdom. In two months, she will be able to return to the king capital of gangbis." After a pause, he asked, "honey, do you remember Princess angel of the sassanne Empire?"

"Angie, the blue haired high-ranking knight?"

Victor nodded and said, "I saw her at the martial arts competition in Renma hill. I remember that she has the blood of Sasan royal family. She was born in the moon bear family of Teuton principality. Now she is married to the heir of Tongji city and is the guardian of the next generation of Tongji city."

Natalia said, "she is also Sophia's good friend... Sophia wants to pull her into the gold regiment to open up the business of the gold regiment in the Sassanian empire... But Princess Angel refused. She said that Sophia will not agree to any form of cooperation unless she dissolves the mercenary regiment of the Wimbledon chamber of Commerce."

"In addition, the kingdom of Dodo began to develop the ghost forest, the deweimick family was excluded, and the trade in Dengshi city was declining day by day. According to the original plan, Sophia tried to win over the deweimick family and open up the business route of the golden regiment in the south of the kingdom of dodo. However, the Marquis of deweimick and the guardian of Dengshi City refused to meet Sophia..."

Natalia looked at Victor, turned her lips and said wrongfully, "the reason is very simple. Your bear group infiltrated the Marquis de Wemmick and successfully assassinated the count of the golden finch... This account was recorded on Sophia's head, which also caused the fear of the great aristocrats. They asked Sophia to give up the mercenary armed forces first and ensure that her private business group passed through the territory harmlessly before they could talk about cooperation."

Victor was silent for a moment, raised his eyebrows and asked, "what do you mean?"

Natalia got up from the sofa, gently waved her willow waist, walked to victor, held his hand, and said softly, "honey, Sophia hopes you can agree to separate the bear group and the stronghold from the gold group, so that she can negotiate with the dweimick family. She asked me to ask your opinion..."

"Naive!"

Victor suppressed his displeasure, took a deep breath, held up the mature and beautiful female Knight at the waist, and smiled:

"Honey, I should have been with you for a few days, but so many things have happened that I can only go back to Gambis as soon as possible and have an interview with Sophia. I'll leave tomorrow morning and go to count de Kaiser to finish the final work. Please go to Dengshi city tomorrow and tell Sophia to take the caravan back to Gambis first, then go to Renma hill and live in Sylvia's Rose Manor... What's the matter I'll wait until I get back. "

Natalia's cheeks were hot. She put her arms around her little husband's neck and said faintly, "well, I listen to you..."
