For a moment Gao Wen was faint. Veronica said something completely unexpected.

"The breath of the gods ..." It took a few seconds before he rubbed his chin to break the silence, and slowly said, "What kind of breath is she? Is she some kind of god? Or is she carrying a high-level relic? The **** There are many explanations for the breath. "

"The breath is very weak, and it seems that there is a change. It is not certain whether it is pollution or 'divine grace', but she should not be a god's family member," Veronica said seriously. "First of all, there is no information to indicate that Matilda O According to the official information released by Tifeng, Guth is a deity of certain gods. According to the official information of Tifu, only the prince of Hadrian was baptized by God of War. Secondly, if she is a dependent of the god, she must have an uncontrolled sacred body The breath is revealed, and the temperament of the whole person will be changed accordingly. Since the deity is much higher than humans, this change cannot be hidden or reversed. "

"Is the sacred breath revealed ..." Gao Wen suddenly thought of something else, listening to Veronica, "Is it like the sacred breath in you?"

"... Yes," Veronica nodded. "The affinity of the Holy Light on my body is a manifestation of this uncontrolled divine breath. Strictly speaking, I am indeed a dependent of the God of Light."

Gao Wen looked at Veronica who was lingering in the faint light around her, reminding him of his true identity as a rebel. There was always an inexplicable sense of absurdity: "... A person who is fundamentally rebellious is a real but true person. God ’s relatives of the Holy Light can only say that Gondor has the highest technology in the world. "

"The gods cannot directly intervene in this world, and its response and feedback mechanisms of this world have its own rules to follow," Veronica revealed a gentle and quiet smile. "As long as these rules are accurately matched and the loopholes are found, I can be any god. With the exception of the dependent goddess, she does not respond to any prayer beyond what is necessary, and does not choose any spokesperson for the world. "

Gao Wen shook his lips.

Drilling holes can become the family of any god, and will not be slain by the multitude of gods. Is it really the champion of the century in the cross-border cross jump competition? I am afraid that this position is higher than Daniel ...

But Veronica said lightly, but Gao Wen knew that her operation, a "drilling family member," was not replicable. It sounds easy to conform to the laws of the gods and find the loopholes, but actually requires the operator to control his mind 100%, and to fully comply with the standards of fanatics from words and deeds to consciousness, not to be found abnormal by the gods, while maintaining the freedom of the rebels The mind creates "real manipulation of personality" deep inside, which is not something that normal humans can achieve.

Only Veronica / Ophelia, who has completed the transformation of the soul form, may not be considered an ancient rebel in the strict sense at this moment. Only then can he continue to do things under the eyelids of the God of Light. Difficult operation.

Gao Wen shook his head, retracting a slightly divergent thought, and frowning: "If it is only the breath of the gods, it doesn't explain anything. She may only carry high-level relics as Tifeng's queen, and she has such things around her. No surprise. "

Veronica shook her head: "There are not many relics in the names of various denominations, but most of them are the relics of mortal priests who have made great achievements in history after performing miracles and noble sacrifices. Such relics Although it has strong power, it is still 'moral' in nature. There are very few 'relics' that really have a sense of deity. Basically, they are non-reproducible and unforgeable items such as eternal slate fragments. Leaving the headquarters of each church will not be carried to someone who is not even a true believer, even if she is the queen of the empire. "

Gao Wenqu raised his finger and pressed his chin: "Can you be sure which god's breath?"

"No. I can only judge the origin of gods from that indescribable, knowledge-pollution-prone atmosphere, but I cannot determine who it is."

"Is it harmful?" Gao Wen asked again.

"It's just breath, it doesn't have essential power, and it won't cause pollution or spread," Veronica shook her head slightly. "But it's not clear if Matilda himself is 'harmful' ... after all, Tifeng It has a completely different church power than Ansu, and the Augustus family is still mysterious to us. "

Gao Wen thought about it quietly, then relieved slightly, and leaned back on the chair: "For the better, maybe she's just a carrier.

"Since you can feel the breath in this regard, then these days I'm bothering you to pay more attention to Princess Tiphon but if she doesn't show abnormality, then don't take any action.

"It's a guest from afar, and we need to treat them well."

Veronica lowered her head slightly. "I understand."

...

Before the formal talks began, the messengers from Tifeng were first fully rested and were invited to visit the highest administration building in the administrative district and the mage district adjacent to the administration office.

This city known as the "Magic Capital" impressed the guests who visited here.

Neat, brand new, beautiful and livable, this is a new city completely different from the old feudal capital. Matilda, who visited here for the first time, can't help but compare it with Tifeng Emperor Aldernan.

The sunset is gradually going west, half of the giant sun has fallen below the horizon, the splendid radiance is sloping all over the city, and the dark mountains in the distance glow with golden light, jagged in the background of the city. The described scenery stormed into the huge picture framed by the floor-to-ceiling window frame. Matilda stood in front of the giant picture frame and silently watched this exotic city gradually immersed in the sunset, for a long time without words.

Count Dowler stood behind her, watching the same scene, and couldn't help expressing his feelings: "I thought Aldernan was the only city that could be described by magnificence ... but now it seems that the world is more than beautiful one place."

"From a planning perspective, Aldernan's layout two hundred years ago has lagged behind this era, and the requirements of the magic industry for transportation and sewage are urging us to transform the capital of the empire." Matilda broke the silence, Whispered, "Whether you want to admit it or not, the planning method of Cecil City will be a great reference for us here. After all, it is the origin of magic technology."

Count Dowler's tone was helpless: "... Aldernan was once the most advanced planned city."

"Nothing is always advanced. Our ancestors two hundred years ago could not imagine that a factory two hundred years later would require so many raw materials, and one road would not require so many vehicles," Matilda ’s The tone remained flat, "Once upon a time, we looked at An Suru as a decaying giant, but now we want to avoid this decaying giant as much as we can."

The visit for only half a day has caused a great impact on the mission.

The Tifeng people are proud. This pride stems from their spirit of martial arts, but also from their strongest national power among human nations. But pride is not equal to blindness, and people who can be sent as messengers are less foolish. The moment everyone left Matilda's eyes as soon as she left the country's gate, they now saw something that disturbed everyone.

Judging at least on the surface, the prosperity and advancedness of this Cecilian capital surpassed Aldernan.

"Andersa's judgments and concerns are correct, and this country is rising rapidly," Matilda's eyes fell through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the bustling urban area opposite the Autumn Palace. She can see many details on that street. She can see the satisfied residents, and the new signboards and prosperous commercial streets. "Also, Count Dulle, have you found anything ..."

"What do you mean?"

"This city doesn't seem to have a slum."

"It's true ... at least from the neighborhoods we've passed and the information we heard, the city doesn't seem to have a real slum area," Count Dule thought, and nodded, "It's puzzling ... Where do those poor people live? Do they need to live outside the city? This can explain why the city can maintain this level of cleanliness, and why we have all along been richer and more energetic Citizens. "

Matilda glanced at Earl Dulle and shook his head slightly, but in the end said nothing.

After another few seconds of silence, she seemed to say casually: "Tomorrow, before the first meeting, we will have the opportunity to visit their Imperial College. That is very important and one of the main purposes of our arrival here .

"It is said that their college is more thorough than us in 'breaking the rules'. All civilians and nobles are attending the same college, and even the residential areas are together. We have to confirm with ourselves and understand how they plan. Find out how their college is managed.

"Besides that, let's do our part as guests."

Count Dowler nodded slightly, and then left the room with large floor-to-ceiling windows.

In the setting sun gradually sinking, Matilda turned and left the window. She came to the bar on the side of the room and prepared a glass of light wine for herself. Then she held up the crystal glass and put it in front of her eyes. Through the swaying liquor, watching the almost solid dusk light spilling from the window into the room.

The next second, the evening light really solidified near the window, and quickly covered everything in her sight like a gradually blooming paint.

Where the light shone at dusk, things seemed to have gone through hundreds of years of baptism, gorgeous tapestry lost its color, beautiful wooden furniture quickly mottled and cracked, and the furnishings in the room disappeared and weathered one by one. Even the layout of the room changed rapidly to look different!

In Matilda's eyes, this originally bright and new room quickly turned into the cloister of an old, quiet palace, while countless suspicious and malicious whispers came from all directions, as if there were countless invisible guests Gathered in this "palace", approaching Matilda step by step with no intention.

A dark black door suddenly appeared on the wall closest to her. There was a tuk-knocking sound behind the door, and an inexplicable husky murmured behind the door, mixed with creepy chewing sounds in the middle. And the sound of swallowing, as if a human beast is crouching outside the door, but pretending to be a human patiently knocking on the door.

Matilda watched the alienated scene calmly, reached for a delicate metal tube from her arms, unscrewed the lid, and poured the medicine inside.

With the spicy and bitter potions flowing down the esophagus, the whispers of whispers approaching from all directions gradually weakened, and the scene of alienation quickly recovered as usual. Matilda was still standing in the autumn palace room, but her face was slightly paler than before. a little.

She reached out and picked up the glass she had just dropped from the bar next to her. Her hand trembled a little, but she held up the glass and drank it all in one breath.

There was an illusory **** gas in her mouth, but the **** gas quickly receded, and Matilda closed her eyes slightly. After several deep breaths, her eyes opened, and her eyes became calm again, deep like water.

With the crazy growth, life-long confrontation with madness, gradually slip into the nightmare that the family members must face after adulthood, sooner or later, swallowed up by him.

This is the fate of every Augustus.

Matilda's mouth slightly tilted, as if with some self-deprecation, but soon she converged on the emotions that should not be revealed, and turned to the desk not far away.

On the desk, a book is quietly spread out, but it is not a mysterious magic book or important state information, but a book that you can buy freely when you visit the wizard area and can be read by citizens of the Cecil Empire. :

"advanced mathematics"

The content on this is very wonderful. It may seem incomprehensible for a while, but it is said that Cecil's students are intoxicated, and even have a copy in their hands when eating and walking. It is presumed that what is recorded in this book is very important.

After successfully fighting the nightmare and crazy erosion, Matilda felt that she needed to see something else to adjust her mood ...
