Chapter 725

In the main room on the top floor of Pinghu castle, the oil wood charcoal fire jumped in the fireplace, and the room was warm. Lilia wore a loose thin silk nightdress, bare snow-white and soft feet, curled up in a high back chair in the most comfortable but never elegant posture, holding a goose feather pen in her hand, and constantly approved the documents on the table.

Since she lit the fire of her heart, Lilia has moved her office from the town hall to the largest room on the top floor of Pinghu castle. Although the lighting and ventilation conditions in the castle are poor, the room is spacious enough without being disturbed. She doesn't need to take into account her manners here. She can work as she wants.

The castle is a symbol of family power. Most Lords will handle family affairs in the castle. Lilia used to hate the gloomy depression of the castle and liked the excitement of the town hall. Now, she just felt that the town hall with people coming and going was full of bad smell and began to prefer the quiet and thick of the castle.

Circle a few questions on a bill. Lilia puts down her quill pen and slides her fingertips down the coffee cup. Suddenly there was a bang from the oak door. Lilia looked up and saw the closed door, but the inside and outside of the room remained quiet. The guard and the maid with a sword outside the door didn't come in. She was surprised. She took out a fine gold short sword from under the table and immediately relaxed,

Pinghu castle now stores millions of gold coins. It is heavily guarded and heavily guarded. A senior Knight under Nicole led 6 trainee knights and 120 elite soldiers to stationed inside and outside the castle. Lilia's floor alone has 30 guards and four sword maids.

Ten of these retinues are elite guards secretly trained by the family. They are proficient in Eagle lion warfare and wolf warfare. Their strength is comparable to that of junior knights. Under the command of veteran elite guard Kane, they are specially responsible for protecting Lilia. They guarded the stairs, corridors and gates. No one could cross the corridor and enter the room without disturbing the guards.

... except victor.

Lilia left her chair, barefoot on the bright and clean mahogany floor, turned into the small bedroom separated by bookshelves, and found her husband sitting by the bed. She raised her slender hand and patted her full chest, like a frightened delicate lady, but the corners of her mouth tilted up in a happy arc, and her feet jumped lightly on Victor, saying in a charming voice:

"Honey, you scared me... Why didn't I see you come in?"

However, Victor sitting on the edge of the bed suddenly disappeared into the field of vision. Lilia was caught off guard. Her body was in the air with nowhere to take advantage of. She was about to fall across the bed. She could reach out her toes in mid air and gently click the edge of the bed. Her movement was smooth, jumping over the bed like a glide, turning and falling on the ground on the other side.

The light in the bedroom was dim, and Victor couldn't see anyone. Everything just seemed to be an illusion. Lilia concentrated her mind, ruled out the cold in her heart, and walked out of the small bedroom without body, but there was still no one in the living room.

"Honey, you are very confident now. You don't call the guard in when things happen."

A familiar voice came from behind. Lilia turned and saw Victor sitting in his original position, smiling at herself.

"Damn, why scare me?" She raised her good-looking eyebrows and flew to her husband, clenching her fist to fight.

Victor caught the soft pink fist, took the angry Lilia into his arms and joked: "you pretended to be afraid first. Of course I want to really scare you, otherwise I..."

Before he finished, he was kissed on the lips by Lilia.

After being warm with her husband for a long time, Lilia asked curiously, "honey, how did you just disappear?"

"In the moment you blink, I go around the dead corner of your sight, just like invisibility." Victor smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I also want to see my Lilia panic and yell... Unfortunately, you are stronger now, not the little rabbit before."

Recalling that Victor used to tease herself like this, Lilia felt warm and said, "I'm still so weak in front of adults... You should pity Lilia as before."

"Weak... The strength is really weak. What becomes stronger is the soul."

Children like to play in narrow corners because they instinctively choose the environment they can effectively control. The open and tall space can make people feel small, so the prayer hall of the church is generally designed to be very tall, which is behind people's fear.

Lilia moved her office to Pinghu fort, and one person occupied the largest room, which showed that her self-confidence had expanded.

Of course, Lilia ignited the fire of her heart. It's not easy for junior knights to defeat her. Senior trainee Knights like resonance 11 elements are certainly not Lilia's opponent now.

However, Lilia's personal strength has made a qualitative leap, but she is called self-confidence expansion in Victor's eyes.

"Why are you alone in the room? It's too late for you to call the guard in case of a similar emergency." Said Victor with a serious expression.

Seeing that Lilia was a little unconvinced, he smiled gently: "Honey, the fire of the mind is also divided into levels. I don't want to hit you, but the fire of the mind you ignite is still in the lowest stage. The combination of the mind and external forces can initially mobilize the internal potential, but the trinity of the mind, external forces and internal potential has not been achieved, and the operation is flawless. When the fire of the mind reaches this level, a gentle touch can instantly burst out terrible power, barely Reach the level of medium-level bronze knight. "

"My brother is this level of spiritual fire?"

"Nelson? No, the fire of his heart has reached the highest level, and there will be qualitative change only one step away." Victor smiled, shook his head and said: "What is infinite mind and limited body? When your mind breaks through the shackles of the body and can be combined with external goals, you can perceive every move of the goal, the subtle changes of mind, external forces and internal potential, and the external sound, terrain, air flow and other information interact with your mind inside and outside, illuminating the darkness is the highest level."

"The soul fire of senior knights is generally in this state. If your soul fire reaches the level of senior knights, even if you just blink your eyes, the Stormrage swordsman can't suddenly 'disappear' in front of you."

Lilia was stunned and said, "the gap between mortals and knights can't be made up at all."

Victor nodded and shook his head and said: "Different roads lead to different evolution directions. The fire of the knight's soul comes from the balance of elements. The fire of the ordinary people's soul depends on the power of the soul and blood. Above the senior knight, the knight's spiritual power communicates with the outside world, showing the elements of emptiness and perceiving the changes of elements; while the ordinary people are prejudgments... The accurate statement should be prediction."

"My brother's fighting intuition." She was never a vase and had her own persistence and opinions on power.

Victor nodded at Lilia to show his appreciation and said in a straight face: "It is easy to confuse the concepts of battle intuition evolved from danger prediction and battle intuition brought by spiritual fire... Fortunately, the two spiritual characteristics can integrate and become more sensitive, representing the peak of ordinary people's spiritual fire. Nelson has reached this state, can predict the enemy's dangerous actions, and his mind reflects the enemy's mind, external forces and internal forces like a mirror Subtle changes in potential. "

"If he goes further, it is to impose 'prediction' on an opponent."

"Put foreknowledge on an opponent?"

"That's right... He stood where he was, and his spirit and will had rushed to the enemy. The opponent thought Nelson sent a fierce and sharp stab, but that was a wrong prediction. What do you say will happen later?"

"Killed by Nelson's sword!" Lilia paused and asked leisurely, "this is the touch of the soul... Can I reach this state?"

"Anyone who lights the fire of the heart has a chance to master the touch of the heart... I'm afraid you can't." Victor explained with a smile, "if you want to master the touch of the mind, you must first have a pure mind."

Lilia was disappointed and sighed faintly after she recovered. She once mastered power in order to please her husband. Now, power is an essential part of her life. If she pursues power for power, it is not pure, and she will stop at the realm of spiritual fire.

If I have mastered the touch of my heart, will Victor love me more? No, as long as I'm trying to please Victor, I still can't improve my spiritual realm... Lilia didn't dare to look into Victor's eyes when she thought of this.

Is this "empathy and farewell"?

Victor saw Lilia's eyes dodging, ashamed and uneasy, knew her thoughts like the back of his hand, and felt a little funny at the same time.

Lilia is now more passionate about power than love him, but Victor can accept it. Their status is unequal. He can't give Lilia a happy marriage. To put it bluntly, Victor doesn't care how much Lilia loves herself. The first thing he wants is loyalty, the second is ability, and love is more like a gift. It's precisely because of this feeling that Lilia can master it Power, in that case, how could she be unfaithful to Victor?

Lilia's guilt made Victor feel a little ashamed and said softly, "honey, there are many forms of spiritual touch, and the spiritual touch pursued by Nelson is not the most powerful one. I knew there was a spiritual touch that suits you very much."

Lilia's eyes lit up and asked, "is that... Helpful to you?"

"Baby, I never doubted that you have always been the greatest help to me, more than Nelson." Said Victor seriously.

Hearing her husband's affirmation, Lilia immediately smiled and said softly, "honey, I listen to you. What kind of spiritual touch are you talking about?"

"How many pairs of eyes and ears?" Said Victor mysteriously.

Ice Xue's smart Lilia blinked, immediately understood Victor's meaning, hesitated and said: "those four sword maids are from Rose Manor and are not very close to me... The elite guards of the family are all men. I can't let several men act as my guards? Otherwise, you can give me back Marcy..."

If you have power, you have power. Lilia has power, but you don't have your own confidants. The sword maids trained in Rose Manor can only work. In terms of their ability, they are always separated from Lilia. It's not appropriate for them to act as Lilia's guards. The loyalty of the alchemy militia is absolute loyalty, but they are too rigid to entrust them with many fine tasks. On the other hand, victor To let several men be Lilia's close guards is a humiliation to the count's close maid.

Victor nodded and said: "Marcy, I'm very important and I can't give it back to you. Mercury manor recently accepted a group of excellent girls. You take the time to select ten and train them according to the method of sword maid. I'll bear all the resources they need, including the quota of body remodeling. I can also give you five every year. In addition, you can get a fixed share of the dividend at the end of the golden group Well, as the source of funds for your training of close guards, and ensure that it is not less than 6000 gold sols. If it is less than 6000, it can be made up from my private Treasury. "

Lilia was overjoyed. She held Victor's and offered a kiss. She said with curved eyebrows: "Victor, you are very kind to me..." she immediately frowned and said: "my guard should have a title... What's the name?"

Victor excitedly advised Lilia, "the shadow of Lilia..."

"No! What a shame..."

"War Bear's claw?"

"Ha ha... Honey, I won't ask you to help me name."

Victor lay on the bed and said weakly, "well, you can do it yourself, as long as you like."

Lilia thought for a while and suddenly said, "snake demon... Honey, what do you think of the title of 'snake demon'?"

The snake demon is a terrible monster in legend. Their gaze has a lethal effect, but in fact, the snake demon can only be regarded as a large beast of the spotted tiger level, and it can be domesticated. Lilia named her guards' snake demon ', which was not publicized, but also full of some expectation that they were extraordinary or could become extraordinary.

"Good... I mean good." Victor perfunctorily raised his body with one arm, frowned and asked, "honey, is there anything different about old Miller during my absence?"

"... does he often ask you about the beauty retention secret I designed for you and Elena?"
