687 War is coming

"Her Royal Highness Princess Angeline, I am listening." Gordon gave a solemn aristocratic salute to the pink-haired little girl facing him.

Although the other party is just wearing a simple and simple traveler's costume, he does have a unique aristocratic temperament at a young age. It was the result of a flawless family environment and a top-notch education, which was not imitated by the rich countrymen who held the knighthood.

Although she is still young and her reputation is not obvious, Angeline has already shown a mind commensurate with her identity. After the embarrassing encounter with Gordon just now, in a short period of time, the little girl had put all the unhappiness behind her and dealt with it calmly.

"Mr. Earl, time is limited, and I'm afraid we don't have the time to get to know each other better now, so let's get to the point."

Although Angeline's voice has a slight hint of immaturity unique to her age, the words are correct and round, and the tone is soft and clear, which is comparable to the best court officials. Seeing that Gordon had no objections, she continued, "You are a very powerful mage—I knew it from the time we first met. And now you can't help but get that white dragon because you don't know much about the Mystery Gem. But with me, the problem is no longer a problem. ”

"Your Royal Highness, you have a lot of research on arcane gems?"

Gordon didn't look down on Angeline because of her age. It's just that a teenage girl should know something like a mysterious gem that even an eighty or ninety-year-old pedant might not have heard of, which is indeed a very unbelievable thing.

"Of course." Angeline lifted her chin slightly, then took out a pendant from her shirt on her chest. She held up a verdant rectangular gemstone set in a white gold pendant. He said to Gordon, "There are six Mystic Gems. They represent the four basic elements of wind, fire, water and soil, as well as the two essential energies of positive and negative. The mysterious gem in Emmonry's hand was just one of them. This one in my hand. It is a mysterious gemstone that represents the element of wind. ”

"Your honesty is admirable." Gordon only glanced at the marvelous crystal in Angeline's hand, and he could feel the infinite power contained in it. That kind of unique energy fluctuation, he had indeed felt in the white dragon before. This shows that Angeline does have a mysterious gem.

Venia leaned into Gordon's ear and whispered: "This mysterious gem of Her Royal Highness the Little Princess, also known as 'Canglan', is a national treasure of Antolia, and it is said that those who master it can possess a power comparable to that of Arcadi, the goddess of the wind element. It was only when I saw this treasure that I was convinced of Angeline's identity. ”

Gordon didn't expect that there was more than just one Mystery Gem. He had listened to Andrei before. I thought there was only one powerful item that could turn the real Seanzu into a land of ice and snow. And what he didn't expect was that Angeline would be so honest in displaying her most precious treasures in front of Gordon, a person who was not very familiar.

Angeline only replied lightly: "Lord Earl, in this predicament, I can only hope to get out of this predicament by enlisting your help with the greatest sincerity and kindness. I didn't have the money to hide the secret at all. If I can't get your help and leave here, sooner or later my Wind Mystic Gem will fall into the hands of the white dragon. So I'd rather put my hope in you. Antolia and Ferreton have been friends for generations, and you are also honorable nobles. I believe in my choice. ”

At such a young age, he had such a clear mind. Able to judge the situation and make the most correct judgment. This Princess Angeline doesn't look simple.

"I see." Gordon nodded, "Indeed in this situation. If we want to get out of trouble, we are indispensable allies for each other. Although everyone hid when they first met. But for now, I believe that Her Royal Highness and I can genuinely help each other. ”

"I hope so, too."

Princess Angeline's white fingers gently fiddled with the Mystery of the Wind gem in her hand. He continued: "I know a lot about the Mystery Gem, but my personal power is limited. Not even this Wind Mystery Gem is out of control now, let alone using its power to break through the tower's barriers, so I need your help. If you can kill that white dragon, then its water mystery gem is yours. ”

Before talking about cooperation, let's talk about the distribution of benefits. This little princess has the demeanor of a skilled politician. It is estimated that she learned a lot from her own king's father.

If you can get your hands on that mysterious gem that seems to have endless energy, it is indeed a very attractive thing for Gordon. However, Angeline still put forward one condition.

"Lord Earl, if you have obtained the Mystery of Water Gem, then I would like you to lend it to me for a while. In return, I can take you to Antolia's most famous library, 'Yunzhe', where all the books are available for you to peruse. There are many books on the mystical gems that I think will be of great use to you. ”

"I'll take the liberty of asking. Your Royal Highness, what do you need that Water Mystery Gem for? ”

Angeline's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a few wisps of sadness appeared on her face: "I won't tell you, Lord Earl." This time, I brought Master Qiuyue and his party to the Endless Abyss just to get the Secret Gem of Water. ”

"Then why did you give it to me?"

"Because I, or my country, don't want to keep the Secret Gem of Water forever, but just want to do something with its power." Speaking of this, Angeline glanced at Gordon strangely, and said, "Don't you know? War has broken out. The wicked and cruel Northumbrians raided our Royal Antolian fleet, gained control of the seas, and are now sending a steady stream of soldiers to Antolia. Although Ferreton is trying to mediate the war between our two countries, the invaders of Northumbrup have been preparing for this war for a long time and will not rest on their laurels. ”

Gordon, Venia and Ji'er looked at each other in shock.

The three of them knew that before they came to the Endless Abyss, the situation on the continent was indeed tense, but they still didn't expect that the war would come so suddenly. And the target of Northumbraard's declaration of war was not Ferredon, but Antolia across the sea.

Could it be that the frequent troop movements around the Huiyang Festival were actually just suspicious tactics? (To be continued......)
