As an ordinary person with little talent, Sykodi does not have a very clear concept of supernatural powers. However, this did not prevent her from seeing some clues from the attitudes of the people around her, especially the chief priests of those temples, who had not only sent a large number of gifts recently, but also tried in every possible way to attract themselves to the temple to participate in some important ceremonies.

Now even a fool can see that all the temples on the island are actively fighting for the faith of her lord's wife. One of the most outrageous is the Church of the Goddess of Trade and Wealth, who even sent a gold sculpture weighing 500 kilograms, which is said to be the Bishop of the Holy Coin and the Goddess's Spokesman, Saranda. An order from Oriam himself.

It seemed that overnight, all the temples received orders from the gods, and they showed a thousand percent enthusiasm, and even the temple of Heim, which had always been strict and old-fashioned, gave a pair of female armor blessed with the blessing god as a gift, and the other temples can be imagined.

Of course, this armor did little to help Poetry. She had done a series of tests a long time ago, and the results showed that whether it was physical quality, intelligence level, bloodline, comprehension, etc., she basically maintained an upper average level, far from being enough to become a professional, unless she could put down a qiē and concentrate on some martial arts training, so that she might be able to barely become a warrior or a thief in a few years.

Obviously, this is a bit difficult for a pampered woman who has never really suffered. What's more, she also has to manage a lot of business and accounts, how can she say that she can let it go, so as she gets older. The thirst for adventure in youth began to grow cold. After the birth of two children, there will be no such thoughts.

However, the temple's recent unusual behavior has made Shikodi feel it. Her husband must have done something earth-shattering recently, although the son has been tight-lipped all the time, but as a mother, he can see it at a glance.

Looking at Tyrantiel's kind face, she asked tentatively, "Master, what do you think Henry is going to do this large-scale mobilization of troops and the power of the Mage Tower?" ”

The old mage smiled slightly and replied, "This is a clear thing. War, only a real large-scale war, he needs so many manpower. But don't worry, I'm sure he'll be able to get Eren out of the dark elves. That will definitely win the final victory. ”

"Oh my God! War again! Counting the recent encounter with the Fishman, there have been at least four wars this year. Although we have never raised any taxes, the inhabitants of the island have begun to show war-weariness, and the large amount of expenses is a headache to think about. As she spoke, Silky started complaining mode.

You must know that the war is fought with money, armor, weapons, food, military salaries, pensions, etc., there is almost no money, not to mention that the scrolls, storage staffs, and magic equipment used by mages are even more astronomical, if it were not for the windfall profits from the salt and spice trade, I am afraid that the financial side would have been in debt to survive.

As a hostess. Every time she saw the financial statements sent by the officials, she was terrified for fear of another astronomical expense. But as the saying goes. The more fearful you are, the more you come, with Henry's order, more than a thousand barbarian warriors are about to embark on the journey, and the young mage regiment is about to set off, carrying millions of gold worth of war materials to the unknown battlefield.

Seeing the pained expression on Sycodi's face, Tyrantil couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "You only saw a lot of money and materials consumed by the war, but you didn't see the benefits of the war. Not to mention how much your rule has expanded, the benefits of fame alone are incalculable. The whole West Coast now knows that the Angome family is extremely powerful, and that merchants who want to come here to do business, scholars who like to come here to give lectures, and poor people who want to get a stable job here bring much more wealth than you pay. ”

"Well, maybe you have a point, but every time I think about the war, I can't help but chill all over my body, as if I have been doused with cold water. Henry won't have any accidents this time, right? It was the first time he had drawn so many mages from the island, and it was a bit worrying. As she spoke, Sycody frowned slightly.

She will never forget the corpse-strewn battle that had stained the entire dock area and the warehouse area with blood, and even after such a long time, the fishermen were reluctant to go out to sea to fish. Because they often see all kinds of bloody floating objects on the surface of the sea, which not only look disgusting, but also stink.

Just as Tyrant Tir was about to say a few words of comfort, a buzzing roar suddenly came from outside, followed by three giant airships slowly passing over the Lord's Mansion, instantly attracting everyone's attention. In particular, the magic light hanging on both sides to prevent the tragedy of the collision in the air kept flickering, making the airbag look particularly terrifying, just like the legendary monster sea demon whale, hundreds of pterodactyl people stood on the side platform to escort, dense and spectacular.

All of a sudden, the officials, nobles, merchants, and church representatives who had come to the banquet began to whisper about the reason why these huge flying machines had left the island.

"Are you finally going to do it...... Father ......," Alan muttered to himself as he looked at the large flying machine that was fading away.

This boy envied the young mages who were able to participate in this war from the bottom of his heart, and if it weren't for his mother's inattention, he would even want to sneak in and see for himself how the mage group works, see the battle between legendary mages, and broaden his horizons.

However, it is a pity that the always cautious Poeti could not let her son who had just been kidnapped out of her sight, so Allen's plan could only be aborted in the end and he stayed at home honestly. Unless he dares to use some illusions to deceive his mother, but the result of doing so is likely to be grounded for a long time, and the travel plan that has been finalized will be 100% ruined.

"Hey! My dear brother, what are you muttering here? Liv, the younger sister of the twins, suddenly popped up from a corner and greeted. She was wearing a gorgeous tutu at the moment, and her long silver hair was draped around her waist. It looks cute and pretty. It's like a princess out of a fairy tale. But the sly gaze in the eyes betrays the mischievous character.

Alan turned his head and smiled at his sister, "It's nothing, I'm thinking about what my father is doing at the moment." What about you, why didn't you run over there with your aunt? ”

After the underground trip, his mind suddenly matured a lot, far surpassing his siblings, so he grasped the initiative in a word.

Liv tugged at the corners of her skirt boredly and complained, "I'm bored to death, those stupid idiots have been circling around my aunt from the beginning. If it weren't for the fear of being reprimanded by my mother, I would have scared them all away with magic. ”

"There's no way around it. My aunt has reached the age where she can get married, and she is beautiful and good enough, which will definitely attract many suitors. But I think these people are working in vain, don't you see the disdain on the corners of my aunt's mouth. With that, Alan raised the juice in his glass and took a sip.

Now that all the surrounding countries had learned that Henry had a sister whom could be married, many nobles had sent young male heirs to stand guard in the city of Bluvent, ready to win the heart of the beautiful young lady. Of course, there are also ordinary people and speculators who want to climb to the sky.

However, due to the fact that Henry secretly sent his sister and two children to the High Fence to learn magic some time ago, most of them were in vain. Thankfully, Sykodi held this banquet today, otherwise these guys would have come and gone home in disappointment.

"Maybe. I don't want my aunt to marry too early, or we won't have anyone to play with. That's right. My dear brother, can you lend me any book you have hanging on your waist for a few days? As she spoke, Liv stared at the "Book of Infinite Spells" that her brother was pinning to carry. She was keenly aware of the powerful magic attached to it, and she had wanted to get her hands on it more than once and study it.

Obviously, this powerful magical item can be used by everyone, but it is too powerful for a mage apprentice, and the slightest mistake can injure him.

It was impossible for Alan to give such a dangerous thing to his sister, so he shook his head without hesitation: "No! I don't want to see you use the magic above to blow yourself up. This is not an ordinary magic item, it even has some level 7 magic recorded on it, which can cause huge damage if you are not careful. ”

"It's stingy! Would you like to lend me your spell book to show me? Seeing that the request was fruitless, Liv immediately shifted her target.

"That's fine, but I can only lend it to you for one night, and I'll get it back by noon tomorrow." After saying that, Alan took off one of the belts around his waist and handed it over. "Remember, the spell you open is abban, don't make a mistake, or the text on it will be out of order, and no one will try to read it."

Liv took the belt and frowned and asked, "Abban?" What do you mean, I guess I've never heard a word before. ”

"It's the language of the Dark Elves, abban is the equivalent of an ally or not an enemy for the time being, in short, it's one of the words they hate to use the most. When I was underground, I met a kind dark elf named Solaufen, and he helped me a lot, so I immediately thought of the word when I was making zuò. Alan explained with a look of nostalgia.

The trip to the underground was a metamorphosis, from an ignorant boy to a true spellcaster, thirsty for power, thirst for knowledge, and thirst for a strong one. It was Solaufen's timely help that prevented him from becoming completely cruel and cunning, and finally becoming a puppet of darkness and power.

It is for this reason that Henry was not stingy in rewarding at all. Because he knows best what this help means to a person in a desperate situation, which is the spark of hope, the light that illuminates the deepest part of the heart.

"And what happened to the dark elf named Solaufen? Is he dead? Liv couldn't help but look curious.

Alan smiled and shook his head: "No, he left the underground alive, and was also made a baron by his father, I believe it won't be long before you can meet him." ”

"Hey, that sounds like fun. I'm going to see what spells are recorded on this now. Goodbye, my dear brother. With that, Liv waved her hand and disappeared into the hall.

The banquet in the living room lasted until late at night, and did not gradually disperse until all the guests had had had their fill. After the last guest left, Alan rushed into Henry's study, found the book he was studying, and began to frantically absorb the knowledge recorded above...... (To be continued......)
