Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 230 Sculpture

   When Dean Willred wanted to ask about some things about the school building, Jenny walked in through the barrier.

   "Professor Qingkong...Jared Knight said: His Highness the Princess is summoned."

   "I see." Qing Kong said to Will Reed: "This time in the imperial capital, there are too many people staring at me. I need to see the eldest princess as soon as possible, and explain to her clearly what needs to be said.

  If the tutor has anything to say to me, you can make an appointment tomorrow. "

  Will Reid didn't get the answer he hoped for from Clear Sky this time, but he wasn't disappointed either.

  He said with some regret: "I will return to the academy tomorrow. I can't rest assured that you are not here. Fortunately, things here are basically over.

  You must be aware that there is an undercurrent surging here in the imperial capital, and if you don't pay attention, it will be an irreparable consequence. Forgive me for not being able to provide you with advice and help. This is the principle that Oulu College has always adhered to and cannot be changed in my current year. "

  Clear Sky stood up and saluted Will Reed.

   "This is my business. Goodbye, mentor...It's very nice to see you."

   Then Qing Kong took the magician hat from the little monkey and took Jenferne away.

  Will Reid asked the little monkey who was staring at the clear sky, "You like her very much."

  The little monkey nodded.

   "I like her very much too. Smart, powerful, and charismatic, it's hard to find a more suitable successor than her, but her loyalty to Meteor eludes me.

  With her personality, there should be no such fetters. "

  The little monkey chirped.

   "Yeah, there is always a moment to reveal her secrets, I have time to continue to observe her..."

   After a brief meeting with Will Reed, Clear Sky hurriedly boarded the carriage and headed to Agatha's residence.

   Agatha moved out of the palace after she became an adult. She has a small garden-style manor near the headquarters of the Imperial Secret Service, named Tulip Manor.

  The manor is full of blooming tulips, with a rare manor atmosphere in the city. There are many sculptures in the courtyard, many of which were made by Agatha herself, and the lines are as exquisite as those of famous sculptors.

  When Qingkong saw Agatha under the guidance of the female officer, she was making a statue in the sculpture room. The clay knife was as nimble as a finger in her hand, and with a single swipe, it would create a just-right arc.

  The female officer stood beside Qingkong for a while, and couldn't help but whispered to Agatha who was concentrating on sculpture: "Your Highness, Miss Qingkong is here..."

Agatha turned her head to look at Qingkong, with a happy smile on her face, she greeted affectionately: "Qingkong, I am so happy to meet you. Come... help me, this statue always makes me say no Can you see anything that is missing?"

  Agatha is completely different from the way she saw Qingkong for the first time. She is casual and seems to be a playmate from childhood to adulthood. There is no difference in status, only the original friendship.

   Qingkong knew that Agatha was acting, so she acted with her.

   "I'll try..." Qingkong took off the magician hat and handed it to Jenny, took off the magic robe and threw it to Knight Jared, and put on the sculpture overalls under the service of the female officer. She walked to Agatha's side and took the clay knife from her hand.

   Agatha is making a clay statue of a girl.

  The girl is wearing a light dress, standing on tiptoe with bare feet. She moved her hands forward as if she was holding a cherished object, and it seemed as if she was letting go of the beloved object.

  According to Qingkong's aesthetics, this clay sculpture is already very expressive. Hardened and simply sanded, it is a fine work of art. But since Agatha was dissatisfied, but she couldn't make changes, it seemed that she was too unartistic.

   "This sculpture..." Clear Sky saw the girl's appearance clearly: "It's somewhat similar to you, Agatha, but the temperament is completely different. You don't have this entangled sense of gain and loss, if I guessed correctly.

  She, she should be Princess Dai. "

  Agatha and Qingkong stood together, admiring the sculpture in front of them.

"It's Daier. My younger sister is not like the members of the Augustine family. She can cry sadly when she sees an injured bird. This is how she let the injured bird go away...it's beautiful I want to make that moment into a sculpture and give it to her as a wedding present.”

   Qingkong asked curiously: "Is Princess Dai'er getting married?"

  Agatha smiled and looked at the clear sky: "Our Chief Inspector Meteor is coming to the capital soon. Last time I saw Father, Father told me...he wants to betroth Dai'er to Meteor..."

Ok? !

   Qingkong was very surprised.

   Did Augustine spend so much money?

   Sending off the house and sending off the daughter, he is really a good father-in-law that is rare in the world...

   No, no, no, I can't rush to recognize my father-in-law just yet.

  The meteorite has not arrived yet, and this marriage is just an idea of ​​Augustine, there are still many steps to go before becoming the son-in-law of the Golden Shield Empire.

  And what is the purpose of Agatha saying this to herself?

  Qingkong looked at Agatha, she had a half-smile in her eyes, as if she was really happy for her sister, and tested her attitude towards the news.

   Thinking of the expression on his face when he asked about the meteor when he met Will Reed.

   Qing Kong could only sigh secretly.

  In your eyes, can't men and women have pure friendship?

  Agatha, you are too naive to think that you can win me over by overturning a jar of jealousy.

Qingkong turned her gaze back to the sculpture, and after examining it, she said, "Agatha, as a sculpture, it cannot be modified in any way; but as a beautiful memory, there is something worthy of us all behind her." treasured things..."

   After finishing speaking, Qingkong put the clay sculpture knife in Agatha's hand, and then cast magic to condense two pieces of ice on the back of the sculpture. The ice grows in layers, forming layers of feathers. When the entire shaping magic is completed, a pair of ice crystal wings are formed on the back of the statue.

   Agatha stared at the statue in a daze while holding the clay knife.

  She felt that the emotions she had suppressed since she was a girl were infected by the emotions emanating from the statue, as if they were about to explode. Just now, I laughed at Dai'er for not being like the Augustine family, but now I realize... my sister is exactly the missing piece of the Augustine family.

  She is an angel bestowed by God to this family, holding the last warmth in the heart of this family in her hands.

  Agatha concealed and wiped away the tears that had gathered in her eyes, and regained her smile.

"As expected of a clear sky, I can always trust you, anywhere. But your sculpting skills are still as bad as before. Dai'er's kindness deserves a pair of more beautiful angel wings. Rest first..." Agatha asked the female officer Help yourself and Qingkong take off the sculpture overalls, and then wash off the mud marks on your hands and face. Finally, he said to Jared: "I haven't seen Qingkong for a long time, and there are many private things to say between girls. She will live here tonight. Tulip Manor does not stay with men. You can take your people back. .Tomorrow, I will send a car to take Qingkong back to the museum."

  Jared wanted to know what the eldest princess and Qingkong would talk about, but he didn't dare to go against Agatha. If you dare to stay here, you will become flower fertilizer at night.

  What's more, what I saw just now proves that Qingkong and the eldest princess have known each other for a long time, and their relationship is very good. I should also go to the palace and report Qingkong's itinerary today to His Majesty.

  Jared handed the magic robe in his hand to the maid of the manor, and after saying goodbye to Agatha and Clear Sky, he left Tulip Manor with his knight team.

  Agatha came to a pavilion in the garden with a clear sky, and a fountain next to it sprayed fan-shaped water columns upwards. Some elemental particles were obviously dissolved in the water, making the fountain reflect a beautiful magical rainbow.

  The inside of the gazebo is moist and cool, and the air with traces of magical elements is inhaled into the nose, making people feel very comfortable.

   Qingkong and Agatha sat down on both sides of the tea table, and the maid served two cups of black tea.

   Agatha ordered: "Go down and don't disturb us."

   "Yes, Your Highness."

When only she and Qingkong were left in the gazebo, Agatha picked up the teacup and said in a low voice: "I didn't tell anyone about Meteor's identity, he is still my capable subordinate and the nail I sent to Raging Waves City." .But obviously Meteor has done more than anyone expected and put me on the grill."

   Qingkong shook her finger, and a square ice cube fell into her teacup.

   "Grover asked for this. If I don't allow him to assassinate Meteor, he will find other killers. This halfling has lost his eyes and has a big head for nothing."

  Agatha could only smile wryly at Qingkong's answer.

   "You are quite right. It is difficult for the bystander to understand the psychology of the gambler at the end. Now that Grover is dead, we don't need to continue talking about him.

Thank you!

  You took the initiative to meet me and cooperated with me in acting in front of Jared, which made my situation a lot better. But what happened in Raging Waves City has already made my father have serious suspicions about me. He hopes that the future emperor of the empire will be born between the first prince and the second prince, or he...

   Anyway, the predicament I'm facing is your fault. As a victim, do I have a right to know you? Even if it is death, let me die to understand. "

  At this time, it was snowing outside the gazebo.

  Snowflakes with magical elements reflect seven colors.

"I'm here this time just to ease the situation you are facing. I won't talk to you about the specific things. My job in St. Lun City is to try to open a branch of Oulu College here, to teach students, to do Do academics.

  You don't have to think about getting any promises from me. All I can tell you is... now we are not enemies. "

  The weather outside was fine, but snowflakes were flying around the gazebo. After a while, the grass was covered with a layer of snow.

  Agatha didn't speak, she carefully understood the message that Qingkong conveyed to herself.

  The relationship between her and Meteor is unknown for the time being, but it should be mainly Meteor. And judging from the development of the Raging City incident, if Glover hadn't died in the end, Clear Sky might not have revealed her relationship with Meteor, but would have continued to do her academic work at Oulu College.

   In other words, the incident in Raging City also exceeded their plan. Meteor doesn't want to swallow Raging Waves City. Although his social status has increased because of this, the risk of coming to the imperial capital has also increased.

  The danger also came from Augustine the Great, allowing himself and Meteor to continue to maintain this tacit cooperative relationship.

  As long as you don't cross the line.

   Qingkong also expressed the attitude of Meteor this time. After all, everyone has worked together for so long without any unpleasant incidents. There is no need for him to rush to the emperor and add more uncertainty.

   "I already know what Meteor means. But after he arrives in the imperial capital, I can't meet him, at least we can't meet until he is summoned by His Majesty.

  Please convey what I mean.

  My attitude has not changed. Until my bottom line is not broken by him, I am willing to continue to maintain a tacit understanding with him. I need the support of you and Raging Waves City so that I can maintain my status in the empire; you also need the eldest princess of the empire to endorse your status.

   Breaking this tacit understanding will not benefit you or me. "

  The snow outside the gazebo turned to rain.

   Qingkong picked up the teacup.

   "Yes, mutual protection is unbreakable."

   Agatha invited: "Respect our unbreakable alliance."

  Hearing this description, Clear Sky froze for a moment, then smiled and clinked glasses with Agatha: "To our unbreakable alliance."

   There was a sound of the cup, and after taking a sip of tea, Agatha asked Clear Sky, "What do you think about the marriage between Meteor and Princess Dai?"

   Qingkong took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said, "I don't have any opinion. Your Highness don't need to test me... If it wasn't for this incident that forced me to come to the imperial capital, I really want to continue my research at Oulu College.

   Here, everything has to start all over again, which is very troublesome. "

  Trying again was still fruitless, so Agatha stopped entangled in this topic.

  She talked about what Qingkong was interested in: "The museum that the emperor gave you is very thoughtful, he knows that you are studying ancient civilizations, and many things in it are of great research value.

  I can recommend a few archaeologists to you, they can help you understand the origin of those collections faster. "

   "That's great!" When it comes to ancient civilizations, Clear Sky is immediately interested. The rain outside stopped immediately, and the warm sun shone down.

  …

  An airship was traveling on the route from Raging City to the imperial capital of Saint Lun. Luke sat in the seat with his eyes closed and rested, accepting the message from the clear sky.

   At night, Luke will recycle the clear sky to charge his phone.

  More information and spiritual power were integrated into his consciousness.

  This kind of absorption and training continuously expands Luke's spiritual ability and expands his spiritual space. The self-personality produced by Qingkong every time it appears will be fused by Luke's increasingly large spiritual body when it is recycled, and then hit the self-enhancement of spiritual consciousness.

  The stronger and stronger mental power is accelerating the charging speed of the mobile phone. Now it only takes nineteen hours for the battery to charge from zero to full.

   It’s just that the power consumption speed of the clear sky has not improved, and the ten-second burst can only be used as a deterrent. This trip to the imperial capital still needs to use more brains and less hands!

   Luke, who had completed the absorption of mental energy, looked out the window, and the outside of the airship was shrouded in night.
