The beautiful, clear stream sound of the klut sounded into a beautiful melody.

The girl sat quietly on the stairs, white and tender, slender and slender fingers plucked on the strings, accompanied by her movements, the soft and elegant music echoed in the room, for a while, as if the whole world was enveloped by this beautiful sound of the piano, and even the birds that heard the sound were now quietly staying on the branches, listening to this wonderful chord.

The sound of the piano is as soft, crisp, melodious as a stream flowing through the mountains and forests. But it soon turned into an infinite wind and waves, as if the boat that had been floating leisurely in the river a moment ago was swept into the stormy waves in an instant, and it struggled to float under the sweep of the waves and whirlpools, trying to win the last trace of life, but the raging waves grew bigger and bigger, and they roared and swept the boat, threw it high into the air, and then pulled it into the dark bottom of the sea. But no matter how fierce the wind and waves were, the boat still tried to survive in the waves............ Until the storm faded away, and the rain cleared. The blue sky and the dazzling sunlight shrouded the land again, and the flat boat also floated on the water again, facing the sun, and continued to move forward.........

"It's really worthy of Jia Ling, your piano sound is still as beautiful as ever."

Lydia stood up, squinting her eyes slightly, and staring at the girl not far away in front of her with her usual gentle smile. The golden sunlight poured in through the window, shining on Lydia's body, reflecting a faint halo on the snow-white and charming skin, and the translucent silk veil wrapped Lydia's body, faintly showing her incomparably beautiful and moving lines.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."

In the face of Lydia's compliment, the girl named Garling lowered her head.

"But, after all, it's just a story......... In reality, there is no such thing......... No matter how hard you try, under such a rainstorm, it is even more difficult for Yiye Bianzhou to escape life. ”

"But. It's not absolutely impossible, right? ”

Hearing Garling's words, Lydia smiled slightly, she reached out and gently stroked the other party's cheek, and then raised her chin to look at the girl's dark, deep eyes.

"There is no hope for the performer himself. The 'seven strings' in your hand will make you cry, huh? And......... Beauty is not just a way of being. Breaking through the barriers of heavy rain and enjoying the sunshine again is a natural expression of beauty. But even if he was defeated by the wind and waves, he finally broke and sank, disappearing into the abyss of the sea. It's also a silent and broken beauty. I can't resist in the face of fate, but I still want to fight to the end, and I am not willing to sink. And struggling, it's also a kind of intoxicating beauty. That kind of sadness, despair but unwilling to stop here, with a heroic shock, is also addicted to it, and cannot extricate itself............"

"In the eyes of His Highness, can fate be changed?"

The girl with the harp in her hand raised her head and looked quietly at the Grand Duke in front of her.

"It's not something I can decide, the beauty of fate is its indeterminacy. Moreover, even if the fate of the good ones has already been decided, they will take different routes because of the different choices they choose, although in the end they will end up on different paths, but the scenery on the road is still completely different. It's also very important to calm down and enjoy the gifts of fate........." Lydia paused slightly. "Not to mention. In the face of fiery emotions. Even the path of fate may be lost in flames and fog. ”

"Your Highness..................

"Emotions are flames. It can bring us warmth and security, but it can also bring darkness and danger. However, we can't stay away from it, because that's the only way we feel that we're alive, and the emotionless cold world is like a lifeless Gobi wilderness, which is a desolate, heart-wrenching charm. ”

Lydia lowered her eyes slightly, staring at the musician's slightly uneasy face.

"Your Highness, although it is a passover, but ......... Does it really matter? The problem on the side of the Solagang Mountain Territory, if you are not careful, it is very likely that something big will happen. ”

"Don't worry, Galing, although it is said that things are man-made, you must not rush everything. I've done everything I could, but ...... Feelings are elusive, and you can never predict everyone's thoughts and actions. After all, you're not her, and neither am I. Not to mention, although the situation seems to be calm now, the movement of the reformers is still not optimistic, and I cannot just leave the Golden City and go to the mountains of Solagang, otherwise the situation will be more difficult to control. ”

Speaking of this, the young Grand Duke smiled slightly.

"Okay, don't be bitter about a face, the rare cute face is about to be ruined, right? And it's not like I'm out of options, I've sent someone who can clean up the mess there, and that person is still your countryman. ”

"I've never heard of a guy called 'Rhodes. Elant's people, Your Highness, although he was very impressive at the Midsummer Festival, if I were to say it, I would think that he was just a liar who concealed his origins. Please also be careful. ”

"You can't say that, Garing, everyone has their own secrets, and ......... I also know a little bit about his origins. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Lydia's answer, Garling was slightly stunned, but at this time, Lydia was lying on the sofa and closed her eyes.

"So, can I listen to another song? Garling? Fragment of the Creation Psalm, the Star Chapter. ”

"No problem, Your Highness."

Hearing Lydia's words, Garling nodded slightly, then she turned her head and adjusted her sitting position, and then the beautiful sound of the piano sounded again, accompanied by the girl's melodious singing.

"Beneath that infinite void, O lost traveler..............."

Inside the Mithril Hall, an unstable atmosphere is gradually spreading.

Rhodes stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor, frowning at the scene below, and he did not follow the Overseer into the preparation room. Although they were now arguing over the matter of life and death, Rhodes was not interested in caring about that trivial matter at all, and he always felt that Lydia had sent him here for another purpose. Although there is no reason for this, according to Rod's understanding of His Royal Highness in the game, he always feels that things are not so simple.

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but reach into his arms. pinched Lydia's reply——— this letter was nothing special in terms of content, except for ordering them to take over the next task and escort the old council leader back to the Solagang Mountain Territory, he only said how to deal with the development of the Solagang Mountain Land next, and left it all to them to judge and deal with it for themselves. At first glance, there seemed to be no problem with these words, but Rhodes's recollection of words at the moment seemed to be another mystery.

It's hard to say whether it's because of illusion or the real situation, after all, Rhodes is also very clear. Archduke Lydia is often more inclined to "rule by inaction", she often only gives her subordinates a goal, and then lets them choose how to accomplish it or how to deal with it. And judging by the results, of course, because of the notoriously difficult "aesthetic logic" of His Royal Highness, you will be too reckless and vulgar or in a hurry. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke must be disdainful. If you think about it from this point of view, then the implication of Lydia's letter is to give himself full authority to deal with the difficult affairs that lie ahead regarding the Soragon Mountain Domain——— if this is the case, then his responsibility is really heavy enough.

But does Archduke Lydia think so highly of herself?

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help frowning, although it has been a long time since he came to this world, his thinking as a player has not changed much, and according to Rode's own opinion, his current reputation in the Duchy of Moon is mostly only friendship or respect, let alone worship. And this kind of mission can almost determine the future of the Duchy of Moon. If you really want to deal with it, then at least you have to revere the prestige above to be able to receive it?

Or did she perceive something?

Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but look at the two short swords on his waist, and the two magic weapons that Lydia gave him at the beginning Rod didn't think much about it, after all, he got such a valuable thing, and it was not in line with the character of Archduke Lydia if the royal family didn't come up with some decent gifts, but when Celia and Celestina pointed out that the two short swords were the same holy sword cards, this thought flashed in Rod's mind for a while.

It's about who you are. Archduke Lydia doesn't know something. Otherwise, why would she so "coincidentally" give herself two weapons that belong to the same Holy Sword card? If you want to say that it looks like the right weapon, it's not right. He has always used a one-handed long sword, and His Royal Highness Lydia has not seen it. She knew this point, but she also sent two short swords, which was to change to others, and it was estimated that she would have to slap the table——— double sword swordsmanship and single sword swordsmanship were sometimes completely different.

Is this a mere coincidence, or is it ...............

Rod trembled slightly, he didn't know what he was talking about, he felt that the air around him was a little damp and cold, he subconsciously raised his head, looked out the window, and then involuntarily squinted his eyes.

I saw that outside, I don't know when, a faint mist had blocked his vision.

At this moment, in the preparation room, the atmosphere is serious and tense, like a powder keg about to explode.

"If the seal is really breached, then with our strength, there is no way to stop that abominable existence from returning to this world!!"

One of the councillors shouted, waving his hands and turning pale.

"But that's just a legend!!"

The old council chief stared at each other coldly, and he could see that in the face of this news, there were indeed many parliamentarians who were shaken, but not all of them were already planning to disobey his orders. The next question is how to convince the other side – in fact, this is really a dilemma. No one wants to live under the dictation of the undead, but if they can't even keep the present, then the future is just as meaningless to them.

It is a choice, a choice between the future and the present.

Of course, no matter which one they choose, they will lose everything they are precious forever. But now, the people of the Solagang Mountain Territory Council had no way out, they sat in their chairs, clenched their fists tightly, but they didn't know what to say. However, such a stalemate is not a good solution, and soon, one of the councillors asked uneasily.

"I can understand your thoughts, Lord, but I can't be reassured——— so I'd like to ask. What can you do to face this impending disaster? ”

"According to the Overseer, the seal is starting to loosen, and it will be at least a year to two years before the gap is opened."

The old parliamentarian had apparently already thought about this question for a long time.

"But we're not completely out of the question, and I think you've all forgotten about it. The protection that our ancestors once passed on to us is precisely to prevent the current state of affairs. We have spent countless manpower and financial resources on it for hundreds of years, and it is for this day——— I have decided to open the plane sealing circle immediately after today. ”

"What do you mean ..............."

Hearing this, the other councillor's face suddenly changed. He stood up and clenched his fists.

"But we also know that this is a very dangerous thing! Elder Parliament!! The Plane Seal Circle passed down by the Ancestors will shatter the seal gaps that connect us, but at the same time, it will also make the order more unstable! Over the years, the source of order in the Solagang Mountain Territory has begun to decay, as evidenced by the increasingly capricious weather and occasional earthquakes!! If we activate the Plane Sealing Circle to defeat the gap, then maybe the Soragon Mountain Territory will be completely plunged into chaos!! Even if there is no loss of order, it is difficult to say whether the remnants will be able to support us to continue to survive!! ”

"But, after all, this is the method left to us by our ancestors."

The old council leader's body shook slightly. It's not that he doesn't understand what the other party means, in fact, this is also the secret of the Solagang Mountain Domain, on this continent, only a very few people know how the Solagang Mountain Territory can survive completely in the gap between the two dragon souls, that is because underneath them, there is an unprecedentedly powerful monster sealed, it is so powerful that it must rely on the combined efforts of the two dragon souls to be able to expel it and seal it. However, it is also because of the strength of this monster. Even if it is sealed and sleeping. Its strength is also enough to counteract most of the chaotic power in the chasm, which is why the people of the Shan are able to settle here.

And if the gap is defeated through the plane sealing circle. Then it is equivalent to weakening the power of that monster, and in doing so, it is also equivalent to weakening the power to protect this area. Whether the forces of chaos will make a comeback or even devour them in one fell swoop, no one can say.

It's ironic.

People are afraid of it, seal it, but want to use it to maintain their own safety——— if Rod knows it, then he will definitely slander this group of people for being a little too firm in the face of nuclear reactors.

"The sealing gap will indeed weaken its strength, but don't forget that its strength is also slowly increasing."

The old council leader waved his hand and straightened his face solemnly.

"I hope you don't forget that after the initial sealing of this terrible monster, its strength was so weak, but our ancestors still survived in that precarious environment. And now, its power is growing stronger day by day, and although our territory has been blessed by the power of order, it ......... But we have become timid, we have lost our courage and our sense of responsibility in the face of disasters and dangers. What are you worried about? Indeed, the Defeat Gap would weaken the monster, and we could face a Chaos Scourge that we had never faced before. However, after all, this is only temporary, time will pass slowly, and we will get back on our feet and stand the test. We don't need to sell our present and future, all we need to do is persevere, with the dignity of our mountain people, to persevere. ”

At this, the old council chief let out a long breath, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he spoke.

"Of course, I know your thoughts, and I understand your concerns, so I'm ready, if our seal fails, then ......... I will personally go to the Night Dragon Kingdom and ask them for protection. ”

"The Elder ............... Parliament"

Looking at the old man in front of him, hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but be stunned in place. Of course, they knew what the old council chief was behind this sentence. What a sacrifice and determination he made when he said this.

"I'm already old, it doesn't matter if I want this bit of face or not, it's a big deal to admit that I'm an old fool, as long as the Solagang Mountain Collar can continue, what does my old bone face mean?"

At this, the old man stopped, he raised his head, and looked at the crowd.

"Now, who of you still disagrees with me?"

No one spoke.

Under the piercing gaze of the old man, all the councillors lowered their heads, and at this moment, they suddenly realized that they might have overlooked something, some responsibilities and beliefs that they had forgotten before——— but now, they felt that this seemed to be good.

And just then, a voice broke the silence.

"Have you already decided?"

The old man looked up at the angel who had been silent at the door since he had come here. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"Yes, I decided, Overseer."

And at this moment, the ground began to shake slightly.
