Chapter 825： Farewell and gifts

As the winter day drew to a close, the Tiffon's mission also came to leave Cecil.

In the autumn palace, the farewell banquet has been set up. The band is playing soft and cheerful music in the corner of the banquet hall. Under the magic crystal lamp, the shiny metal tableware and shaking wine are intoxicating luster, a kind of brisk The peaceful atmosphere permeated the lobby, making everyone at the banquet unable to help but feel happy.

Matilda Augustus, wearing a palace dress, stood at the end of the long hall. Rebecca, who also wore formal court clothes, ran to the exotic princess with a plate of cakes and was quite cheerful. Say hello to the other party: "Matilda! Are you going back today?"

In the past many days, Rebecca and Matilda haven't seen many times, but Rebecca is a cheerful person, and it is easy to make a relationship with others-or in other words, to make a relationship unilaterally . In a limited number of exchanges, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Princess Tifeng did have a good understanding of the fields of mathematics and magic, rather than the image propagated only to maintain the wisdom of people, as others had guessed at first, so They soon had a good common topic.

And the common topic successfully closed their relationship-at least Rebecca thinks so.

"I will write to you," Matilda smiled, looking at this "Pearl of Cecil" who was very different from many noble women she knew. They had equal status, but lived In a completely different environment, she also developed a completely different character. Rebecca's vigorous vitality and informal behaviors made Matilda very uncomfortable at first, but after several contacts, she also felt that The jumping girl is not annoying. "Although the distance between Aldernan and Cecil is long, but we now have trains and direct diplomatic channels, we can continue to discuss the issue in the letter."

She smiled at Rebecca, who returned a simpler and brighter smile.

In fact, Matilda felt a little regretted—when she first met Rebecca, she knew that this young and overlooking girl was actually one of the important founders of modern magic technology. She discovered Rebecca The simplicity and frankness of Ka's character, she wanted to learn some real and useful secrets about cutting-edge magic technology from the latter, but after several contacts, her communication with the other party was limited to purely mathematical problems or Conventional magic guide, mechanical technology.

This straight-looking girl is not as unsuspecting as she looks, she is just smart and just right.

In Rebecca's bright smile, Matilda's regrets quickly melted away.

"When you write, you must tell me about Aldernan again," Rebecca laughed. "I haven't been that far!"

"Of course you can, and I will welcome you to Aldernan if you have the chance," Matilda said. "It's a friendly city, and you can see very beautiful foggy scenery in Obsidian Palace. "

Rebecca showed a look of longing, and then suddenly looked behind Matilda, with a very happy look on her face: "Ah! The ancestor is here!"

Matilda immediately turned around, and sure enough she saw Gavin Cecil, who was tall and burly, wearing a royal gown, headed towards this side with a smile.

The Princess Tiphon immediately took the initiative to take a step forward, impeccably gifted: "Salute to you, Your Majesty Cecil."

Gao Wen accepted the tribute with a smile, then glanced at Rebecca standing beside him and said casually, "Rebecca, didn't you make a mess today?"

"No, no!" Rebecca immediately waved her hand and said, "I'm just chatting with Matilda!"

"Rebecca is a great friend, especially her knowledge of mathematics, mechanics, and runes, which I admire very much," Matilda said gracefully, and naturally changed the topic, "Also, very very Thank you for your hospitality these days-I personally experienced the enthusiasm and friendliness of the Cecilians and witnessed the prosperity of the city. "

"I hope that this experience will leave you a good impression. This will be a good start for the two countries to enter a new era," Gao Wen nodded slightly, and then waved to the attendant next to him. "Matilda, in Before saying goodbye, I prepared a gift for you and Emperor Rosetta Augustus-this is my personal wish, I hope you will like it. "

The farewell gift of the upper noble is a ritual and long-standing tradition, and the content of the gift will usually be a sword, armor or precious magic props, but Matilda instinctively thinks that this gift from the legendary pioneer can be There was something special about the party, so she couldn't help showing her curiosity, looking at the two attendants who came forward—they held delicate boxes in their hands, judging by the size and shape of the boxes, it was obviously impossible inside It's something like a sword or armor.

Soon she saw what Gawain Cecil's gift was: a book, and a weird metal cube.

Both things are curious, and Matilda's eyes first fell on the metal box-this metal box was more difficult for her to understand than a book. It seemed to be superimposed by a series of neat small boxes Combined, at the same time, the surface of each small square is also engraved with different runes, which looks like some kind of magic props, but there is no specific use.

"It's called Rune Rubik's Cube, it's for you," Gao Wen explained. "At first it was something I made in my spare time, and then my chief rune master Jenny made some changes to it. You can think of it It's a toy, or a tool for training thinking. I know you're interested in math and runes, so this thing is for you. "

At the suggestion of Gao Wen, Matilda curiously picked up the metal cube called the "magic cube" from the box, and was surprised to find that it was much lighter than expected, and then she fiddled with it slightly, It was found that the little cubes that made it up were all movable-she twisted one side of the Rubik's cube and immediately felt her hands sink.

Although she is not a mage, but Matilda, who is quite familiar with magic knowledge, immediately realized the reason: The "lightness" before the Rubik's cube was entirely because of some weight-loss rune, and as she turned the block, The corresponding runes were cut off.

Inside this block should be hidden a small magic net unit to provide energy, and the series of small blocks that make it can allow the rune to combine various changes, and the magical magical power is no longer there The steel of life is quietly flowing.

Matilda blinked and looked at the Rubik's cube in her hand.

As if watching some kind of epitome of magic guide technology.

It's just a toy ... but it doesn't seem to be just a toy.

At first Matilda, who was a little weird in her heart because her gift was just a "toy", couldn't help falling into thought, and in the thought, her eyes fell on another gift.

It's a book with a blue hard cover that doesn't look very heavy, and on the cover is handwritten gold text:

"Society and Machines"-gifted to Rosetta Augustus.

"This is a book recently compiled by our scholars. It also contains some of my own thoughts on social development and the future," Gao Wen smiled lightly. "If your father has time to take a look, it may help Because he understands how we Cecil think. "

Mattilda's gaze swept slowly over these two things.

This is really two special gifts, each with deep meanings worthy of speculation.

She laughed and ordered the attendant to take the two gifts, keep them in a safe place, and then looked at Gao Wen: "I will bring your kindness back to Aldernan-of course, we will also bring back our signature Those documents and memos. "

"This is the beginning of a new situation of prosperity and peace," Gao Wen also smiled, took a glass of red wine from the side, and raised it slightly. "It is worth our clink for this."

Matilda also raised the glass, and two crystal clear glasses made a clear sound in the air: "For a new situation of prosperity and peace."

...

After a banquet, the guests and hosts were happy.

On the train platform leading to the eastern region, the train carrying the Tifeng mission gently slid, accelerated, and gradually sailed towards the distant horizon.

Their departure and the agreement reached by the two parties will occupy a large page in tomorrow's newspaper, and will become the talk of the Cecil citizens after dinner, and then quickly fade out of people's attention, ordinary people will continue Their busy and fulfilling lives, with the exception of sharp-smelling businessmen and officials in charge of their duties, will not continue to pay much attention to this matter.

And the long-term effects it causes, the potential changes to the situation on this continent, will be slowly fermented in a state that most people cannot detect, and will be immersed in everyone's life little by little.

Rebecca was standing on the terrace of the Autumn Palace, playing with a small gold pendant—a gift from Matilda—she looked up and glanced at the edge of the city, slightly Saying with emotion: "Leave me."

Gao Wenwen, who stood next to him, turned his head: "Do you like that Matilda?"

"Under normal circumstances, maybe a good friend," Rebecca thought, then shook her head, "unfortunately a Tifeng."

With a little curiosity, Gao Wen asked, "What if she doesn't consider her identity?"

"It's fair to talk about. She really likes and is good at mathematics and mechanics. At least I can see that she usually studies it seriously, but she is obviously still thinking about other things, the knowledge of magic guidance ... she She claims to be her hobby, but in fact I am afraid it only accounts for a small part, "Rebecca said as she frowned." She is a lot more tired than me. "

Gao Wen looked at the girl with a bit of surprise: "You can still feel something so profound?"

Rebecca immediately waved her hand: "Hey, ancestors, girls, you do n’t understand."

Gao Wen wasn't angry, just took a little pamper and looked at Rebecca and shook his head: "The Princess Tifeng is indeed more tired than you, and I can feel the tight atmosphere around her at all times- —She is still younger and is not good at hiding it. "

Rebecca listened to Gao Wen's words, but thought for a moment, hesitated, "Hey, ancestor, do you think I should learn something? I am also a princess, hey, in case you Lie back again ... "

As soon as I said about half, the girl reacted suddenly, and I didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence. I just narrowed my neck and looked up carefully at Gao Wen's face—the improvement of this girl is that she is now I was able to realize that some words could not be spoken before being beaten, but the regret was that her half sentence was still enough for the listener to complete the following content, so Gao Wen's face suddenly became strange.

He looked at Rebecca with a narrowed complexion in his eyes, and there was a sudden sigh in his heart—maybe one day, his rule would reach the end, and Rebecca ... I was afraid he could get up again.

If you think about it, he feels that he is still working hard. When the struggle reaches the end of the rule, he will chase this silly **** as the king ...

Rebecca didn't know what thought was going on in Gao Wen's mind (even if she knew it, she probably didn't have any idea), she just had a fascination and would stay there, then, as if suddenly thinking of something: "Yes, ancestor, Tifeng's The mission is gone, then the mission of the Principality of the Holy Dragon should be the next? "

Gao Wen was somewhat surprised that Rebecca would seriously remember this, and then nodded: "Byron has set off to the north. In addition to building the North Port, his other task is to meet the mission of the Duchy of the Holy Dragon. In fact, according to the original plan, the messengers of the Holy Dragon Principality were to arrive in the south before the end of the cold month, but the letter of mediation between the two parties was delayed for some time. Now it seems that it will be at least until the month of recovery when they arrive in the south. This is also good, you can stagger the Tifeng people, and we will make it easier. "

"That's great ..." Rebecca narrowed her eyes and laughed with some expectation. "They are Maggie's people ... I don't know if I can make friends."

friend……

Gao Wen's eyes were deep and he thought about the word quietly.

Dragons with a mysterious background, who have no connection with the dragons of Tarrond ... If it can really be pulled into the Cecil settlement area, it is indeed a good thing.
