Durand looked at the queen fixedly, only a slight hint of surprise flashed on his face, and then he regained his composure, sat up after a moment, smiled and said, "You woke up?" ”
The queen's eyes flashed slightly, and then nodded: "It seems that Andrea has told you a lot of things, so you already know my relationship with Andrea, and you also know the reason why I fell asleep before?" ”
"Hmm."
Durand already knew that the queen was Andrea's biological mother, and Andrea said that the time when the queen woke up was very uncertain, but waking up early and waking up late was awake, so Durand was not too surprised by the queen's sudden appearance.
The queen stood up, looked at Durand condescendingly, and said in a slightly cold tone: "Do you have nothing else to say other than 'um'?" ”
"Absolutely!" Durand looked into the queen's eyes sincerely, and said seriously, "Thank you for helping to treat my injuries, I can't thank you enough." ”
After regaining consciousness, Durand had roughly understood what had happened, and if there was no queen, even if he didn't die this time, he would inevitably suffer irreparable damage. The erosion of the body by the aura of death is extremely domineering, and even high regeneration can't fight it. In the final analysis, it was Duland's blow that combined with his two swords that consumed too much, otherwise as long as he retained a part of the power of ice and fire in his body, he would not fall into a coma for a long time and could not wake up.
The queen calmly accepted Duland's thanks, then slowly shook her head and said, "Sincerity is not enough. ”
Durand also calmly accepted the queen's evaluation of "not sincere enough", and then patiently explained: "Although you are Andrea's mother, you have hidden a lot of things from me before, so I am afraid I will not be able to give you full trust until you give me a simple and clear explanation." I'm sorry. ”
The queen's eyebrows were raised on the spot, as if she was about to be angry, and she was a little surprised by Duland's straightforwardness.
She narrowed her slender eyes slightly, staring at Durand and looking at her seriously. To be honest, now Durand is healed from his injuries. But the strength has not yet been restored. As long as the queen wants to, she can knock him down with a single finger. In this case, Durand still has such a tough confidence? The queen couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, I admit that I wasn't honest enough with you before, but there are many things I haven't even told Andrea, so it's not too much to hide from you, right?" ”
"These are two different things." Durand's attitude is resolute.
So the queen knew. If she didn't explain some necessary things clearly, the two of them couldn't communicate like a normal mother-in-law and son-in-law, she sighed and said, "It's okay, tell me what you want to know, I can tell you." ”
Duland's face was grim, and he didn't talk nonsense. He began to ask, "Not long after I arrived in the Shepherd's City, you found me and convinced me to become your subordinate and serve as the only secret car in the Shepherd's City by defeating me. I thought about it carefully, and I probably hadn't been in a relationship with Andrea at the time, so I didn't understand how you would wake up from your slumber and find me. And what pulled me into the city of shepherds. ”
In Duland's view, the queen's approach must be more than what it seems on the surface, and there may be something hidden behind it.
The queen thought for a moment and said, "You mean, you suspect that my motives are not pure?" ”
"Yes." Durand admits it frankly.
"This ...... Actually, it's hard to say. The queen frowned slightly, as if she was considering how to explain to Duland, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I remember that you were not a demigod at that time, but just a sage, right?" Although the Sage is strong, it is not very rare. If you're really an ordinary Sage, I don't bother to bother. I just have never seen a sage who can suppress himself to the seventh level, you gave me the feeling of being like a volcano at that time, with strong combat power in his body, but he forcibly suppressed the realm cultivation. I understand that this is a cultivation method that pursues the ultimate combat power. It is inevitable that the saints who dare to use and can use this means will reach the peak of the saints in the future, and there is a high possibility that they will break through to the demigods. So my motives were really not pure - I wanted to recruit someone who might become a demigod in the future. That's it. ”
"............" Durand didn't say anything, but his face became extremely strange.
He would not be too surprised if the queen said any shocking reason, after all, the strong always hide a lot of secrets, and their minds are unpredictable. But he didn't expect that the reason why the queen found herself in the first place was because of Duland's self-suppression?
"So you think that suppressing my own realm and cultivation is a way to temper myself?" Durand asked.
"yes, isn't it?" The queen looked at Durand as a matter of course.
All right......
Objectively speaking, self-sealing and self-suppression have indeed played a training role for Durand - he has just broken through to the demigod fire realm, and he has mastered the realm of selflessness, which is inseparable from self-suppression in a sense.
But......
But-
Do you think I want to seal myself? Who is full of food and supports the choice of such a painful and maddening cultivation method? Wouldn't it be nice to work hard, diligently, and cultivate normally?!
The queen obviously didn't know that Durand was suppressed by the power of the rules of the plane, which was the real reason for Duland's self-sealing, but she didn't expect that in the queen's opinion, it was actually a cultivation method that showed great courage and perseverance.
In the face of the queen's explanation, the faintly tense atmosphere that Durand had deliberately created suddenly collapsed.
He raised his head and looked at the queen with an inexplicable face again, and he had a feeling of complete defeat to the queen. The queen's original impression of Durand was noble and elegant, mysterious and powerful, and unfathomable. At this time, these images have a vague tendency to collapse.
Durand scratched his head in pain and muttered, "I now know where Andrea's personality that likes to take things for granted came from......"
He said it so lightly that the queen didn't hear it clearly, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "What's the matter, is there any problem?" What did you just say? ”
"Nothing, nothing...... Let me move on to the next question. Durand opened his mouth, but there was no need to ask any more. The reason why he couldn't fully trust the queen was mainly that he suspected that the queen had other plans for him, but now it seemed that it was just a speechless misunderstanding.
Durand thought about it for a while, but decided to finish the question:
"Why did you give me the position of the master of the pastoral city?"
"Because I'm going to sleep and recover from my injuries!"
"I mean. Why are you so relieved to leave it to me? You can totally let go of Rhodes and them. ”
"Rhodes: Are they demigods? Besides, you're not an outsider. ”
"But I haven't married Andrea yet...... in theory."
"I understand, I know! That's why I'm just 'handing it over' to you. ”
"Uh, what do you mean?"
"Don't you understand? You think, I was in a hurry to go to bed. So let you 'manage it on your behalf'. Now I'm awake and stronger than you, so ...... You can step down! ”
“…………”
Durand doesn't know what to say anymore, and sometimes, women's logic is so simple, precisely because it's too simple. On the contrary, it is difficult to guess.
"I'm fine." Durand said with a blank face.
"Then you don't have to make up a thank you with all sincerity?" The queen still hasn't forgotten the original intention of this conversation.
Durand smiled slightly bitterly, and said helplessly: "It's really very, very...... Thank you so much for helping me heal my injuries! ”
The queen said with satisfaction, "That's pretty much it! ”
After a pause, she suddenly changed her words, and her tone became solemn: "Okay, since the trust problem between you and me has been resolved, let's talk about the right thing - this war." Can you explain what's going on? ”
Durand also restrained his smile and asked solemnly: "What do you want to know, the reason for the war, or the process of the war, or the current situation?" ”
"Let's talk about it, to put it simply, I hate men talking too much."
"Okay." Durand smiled. He said slowly, "The reason for the war is because I want to move; The course of the war was that I broke through the Triple Sacred Barrier and was intercepted outside the Pure White Holy Tower; The current situation is the blockade of the Holy Tower, and I don't know if I can break the blockade, and I don't know if I can defeat the three demigod powerhouses in the tower. ”
"Three demigods?" The queen was surprised, "Augustus was still a sage back then, and now he should have broken through to a demigod, I can guess this." The Heavenly Warlock Regiment, plus Merlin plus the power of the Pure White Holy Tower, is barely a demigod. Who else is a demigod? ”
It seems that the queen has fallen into a deep sleep all these years. The matter of the Yonghui Knight Domain is still quite clear, and it is no wonder, after all, Jin has been staying in the Holy City, and the intelligence should not be a problem.
However, even the queen didn't know that the paladin and the black-robed man had secretly concocted an extremely terrifying weapon, that is, the two gray giant claws. and other parts that may still be hidden underground.
"The third demigod is actually the trickiest guy." Durand's face became extremely solemn when he recalled the previous battle, "I fell into a coma before, and it was caused by the battle with that demigod powerhouse. ”
"How?" The queen also became solemn, although she had not seen with her own eyes how strong Durand was now, but from Durand's successive breaking of the triple sacred barrier, it could be roughly inferred that Durand was at least extremely strong in attack and killing. Even Durand did this, not only was his strength exhausted, but he was almost killed by the aura of death, and it is conceivable that the third demigod is definitely not an ordinary character.
Durand sorted it out for a moment before he spoke: "It was a man in a black robe, I still don't know what he looks like, and I don't know his name." But judging by the voice, he seems to be a little old, but he is not sure.
His own combat power is nothing, although he is a complete demigod, but he is only strong in terms of soul. The point is that the black-robed man and the paladin were working on a certain plan together, and as a result, they created a very powerful weapon. I don't know what the full picture of that plan and that weapon is, but just the exposed parts are tricky. If I fight again, I'm still not sure I will win.
That's pretty much it. ”
After hearing this, the queen actually showed a hint of interest, smiled slightly and said, "You can't beat it alone, so what about me?" ”
