This is a middle-aged man who looks very kind and has a serene face, and he sits in front of the fireplace and snoozes, even if his eyes are closed, without any detracting from the gentleness of his countenance.

He was dressed in a luxurious robe, and his half-white hair peeked out from under a crown, and he thought he was the Grand Duke of Nanxiang.

"Father!"

Arion stepped forward and shook his arm, turned around and said apologetically: "Father's spirit has gradually deteriorated over the years, and now it is the second half of the night, and he must be tired." ”

Tian Xian naturally understands very well, seeing that he is only half gray when he is middle-aged, he must be a good ruler who worries about the country and the people, and he must be very tired at this time.

Grand Duke Nanxiang woke up slowly, the blurred color in his eyes quickly receded, he came to his senses, and when he looked at his son in front of him, as well as Tianxian and Xue next to him, he suddenly felt refreshed.

"Is this the two little guys who have been spreading the news in various ways these days? It is really a hero who came out of his youth, he began to walk the continent at such a young age, and he received attention from all sides, remembering that when I was young, I was still learning knowledge in the pavilion when I was as old as you, and I was not allowed to go out for a single step, and when I saw my wife that day, I only took a quick look, and when I wanted to see it a second time......"

Sweating profusely......

This guy is definitely Arion's father, and the intensity and way of his speech are exactly the same, what kind of father is what kind of son......

"Oh...... This was the scene when my father first saw my mother, but I heard my mother say that you ...... back then," Arion's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to recall the scene when her mother mentioned these events......

The two of them immediately chatted......

I felt powerless. These two people are very interested, you talk quickly, and you can change the theme in three sentences, which is simply powerless for listeners.

Soon, the two of them talked about the beautiful women from the time of the young study of the Grand Duke Nanxiang, and then to the jewelry worn by the noble women, and then to how the spices produced in their own country can enhance the charm of women, and finally to which country the women are the most beautiful, and then they talked about the influence of the name of the country on people's lives, and finally turned a hundred and eighty degrees -- and turned to the sky and snow, "These two children are really amazing." ”

You're really amazing. It's a waste not to be an orator with this kind of speaking ability......

Since the other party talked about himself. And now that the topic has paused, in order to prevent the two from chatting until dawn, Tian Xian hurriedly said: "We are just walking around, I didn't expect the Nanxiang Grand Guild to summon us." It's a great honor to be free. ”

There was a little more approval in the eyes of the Grand Duke of Nanxiang. I thought to myself that the child looked a little younger than the rumored age. At most, he was twelve or thirteen years old, but he seemed very calm in the solemn atmosphere of this palace. There was no panic in his eyes, and it seemed that it was no accident that he could get a strange treasure.

And this girl, Grand Duke Nanxiang's gaze swept over the face of the snow - this girl seemed to be carved of ice and snow, and the Tianyan clan in the extreme north had not seen it before, but it was the first time she had seen it like this.

"I don't know what special things happened to Grand Duke Nanxiang to summon us?" Tian Xian was afraid that the other party would fall into endless nagging, so he hurriedly continued.

The Grand Duke smiled, "There is nothing very special, I just want to meet the two children who have been pushed to the cusp of the storm these days, after all, every side of the strength wants to win you over, although our Nanxiang Country is a small country, it is naturally no exception in this regard." ”

Tianxian was slightly stunned, the other party actually said such a thing?

At present, he is being chased by the Holy Spirit Temple and the Blood Alliance, this Grand Duke Nanxiang should be very clear about this matter, and he is doing this to be regarded as opposing the Holy Spirit Temple and the Blood Alliance.

How could the small principality attached to the Longyuan Empire dare to offend such a transcendent force as the Holy Spirit Temple, even the Longyuan Empire was respectful to the Holy Spirit Temple.

The Grand Duke seemed to see Tian Xian's doubts, and said with a smile: "There is a very interesting piece of information we have received, that is, you seem to be very ignorant of the situation in the Human Continent. ”

It is undeniable that although he has been trying his best to make up for this knowledge during this time, his understanding is still limited, and these things are not heard much in ordinary people's chatter and fart.

"Actually...... The Holy Spirit Temple and the Blood Alliance have nothing to fear, and it is actually a good thing that you have obtained a strange treasure. The Grand Duke's words suddenly made Tian idle.

Coming out of the Silent Forest, he was chased almost all the way, Gunn set up an ambush in Cross Town, and he almost died under the amazing sword of Zoya, and when he was in the Dent Empire, if it wasn't for the protection of Lord Buck of Hedel, I am afraid that he would not have been able to get out of the capital of Dant.

And to be able to come here, in the end, it was the miraculous call of the snow that attracted the incomparably powerful frost giants to settle down, and it was not long before leaving the Silent Forest, but it was full of twists and turns.

None of this is a good thing, and it's clear that neither the Holy Spirit Temple nor the Blood Pact are easy to provoke......

Seeing Tianxian's strange expression, the Grand Duke laughed and said: "I know that when you were in Dante, you were besieged by the Holy Spirit Temple and the Blood Alliance, but that was because the Dante Empire was unstable due to Barker's fierce expansion a few years ago, so the power of the Holy Spirit Temple and the Blood Alliance penetrated deeply, but in other countries, these two parties are not so powerful." ”

As he spoke, a look of pride flashed on Grand Duke Nanxiang's face, "In my Nanxiang country, whether it is the Holy Spirit Hall or the Blood Alliance, I don't need to look at their faces. ”

Tian Xian was really surprised that this small principality was even tougher than the recognized human empire like Dante.

"Actually......" the Grand Duke hesitated a little, and reminded, "although what I said next is almost the truth, but you should not talk nonsense outside, let alone mention that I said it, is it okay?"

Tian Xian nodded immediately.

"Hmm......" the Grand Duke pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, the influence of the Holy Spirit Temple is far less than it was hundreds of years ago, and in some countries it has even been weakened or even ostracized, and the history of the Blood Alliance is actually very long, but it has only developed rapidly in the last few hundred years, which is inseparable from the decline of the influence of the Holy Spirit Temple." ”

Tian Xianyan was very puzzled when he heard this. Why is the Holy Spirit Temple, as a sacred place of human faith and the direct controller of high-level stigmata, rejected by some countries?

The Grand Duke continued: "And the reason why the Holy Spirit Temple was rejected is that it is inconvenient for me to sue you directly, but this is inseparable from the stigma, back then, because the first to transform the stigmata that humans can use, the Holy Spirit Temple was established, they issued low-level stigmata to all mankind, and they alone mastered the transformation method of high-grade stigmata. There is no substitute for a revered position. But in recent centuries, this has changed some subtlely, so ...... The situation is also beginning to change. ”

Looking at Tianxian with a smile, the Grand Duke asked, "Do you understand?"

Although the detailed reasons are not clear. But the Grand Duke understood what he said: the Holy Spirit had shaken the conditions necessary to maintain its exalted position!

Could it be that other human nations have also begun to master the transformation techniques of high-level stigmata?

I think about it for a while. Nodding his head, he replied, "Thank you for the reminder." Tian Xian probably understood a little. ”

The Grand Duke smiled with satisfaction, looking at Tianxian and feeling very happy, this child is not very old. But he is very smart, with black hair and black eyes, and he has a lot of spirit from head to toe, how to look at it and how to be likable.

Look at your son, who is as annoying as himself......

"Little guy, if you understand this, then are you interested in staying and playing for our Nanxiang Kingdom?"

Tian Xian, who asked such a straightforward question, was stunned for a moment, Tian Xian really didn't expect this Nanxiang Grand Guild to make this request so directly.

Without waiting for Tian Xian to answer, the Grand Duke seemed to think of something again, "This is too sudden, I should want to ask, apart from the strange treasure you obtained, what is your holy stigma?

Tian Xian also wanted to know what his stigma was, or whether his strange bloodline was considered a stigma......

"This ......"

The Grand Duke immediately shook his head, "There is no need to hide it, if you stay, these things will be your capital to enjoy the worship of our country, it is better to say them all, we have great respect for the special Stigmata Inheritor, you are young, you can get the Evil Eye Demon Sword from the Holy Spirit Temple, the Blood Alliance and all the forces in the Silent Forest, you must have an extraordinary Stigmata." ”

Although this Grand Duke of Nanxiang is also a bit talkative, he has a very good impression of Tianxian, but even if Tianxian wants to sue people now, there is nothing substantive to say, and he can't help but feel worried for a while.

If you say that you don't have a stigma, then someone will definitely think that you are on guard, and you have come up with an excuse that is completely insincere, but if you say anything about stigma, as long as the other party asks a little questions, it will definitely be exposed......

"This ...... I don't know how to explain, but I ask your forgiveness!"

The Grand Duke was not surprised, and said calmly: "This is inevitable, you must have experienced a lot of terrible things all the way here, and you should be on guard." ”

"No, I'm not on guard, I'm just ......" Tian gossip came here, and immediately cried and laughed, his body really can't explain to others, I have been in contact with many people during this time, and I really haven't heard of anyone who can't inherit the stigma, this world, it seems that he is the only one, and there is no other semicolon.

The Grand Duke's smile was still gentle, "There is no need to explain, we can all understand, but this kind of concealment is not necessary, I think so, we ...... Let's play a little game!"

Tianxian was slightly stunned, and a feeling of uneasiness faintly rose in his heart.

"Little one, can you get out of this room, then I won't ask any more about your stigma, but instead, you can tell me the details, how about it?" the Grand Duke smiled mysteriously.

Tian Xian suddenly got up, and his expression became guarded, what did the other party mean by this? Do you want to leave yourself here?

Suddenly, Tianxian's complexion changed.

Grand Duke Nanxiang was still sitting there, but his body seemed to have softened, and his face had begun to deform slightly!

"You!"

Tian Xian grabbed forward, but only caught the luxurious clothes of the Grand Duke Nanxiang, and his body spread out like a puff of smoke, and it was not an entity.

The "Gollum ......" crown fell to the ground, and the Grand Duke's body disappeared out of thin air, leaving only clothes on the seat.

Looking back, Tianxian found that Arion was the same, and the two living people turned into light smoke and disappeared cleanly in the blink of an eye.

"Black ......"

Xue still had a faint look in his eyes, looking at the strange scene in front of him. Gently pinched the corners of Tianxian's clothes.

"Don't worry, they don't seem to have malicious intent. Tian Xian dropped the clothes of the Grand Duke, his eyes were solemn, although he said so, Tian Xian was not sure whether the other party had malicious intentions.

However, if the other party wants to deal with himself, it seems that there is no need to lead himself to the palace, and Arion accompanies him all the way, which is too risky, and there is no reason to do so.

Don't. Is this really just a well-intentioned temptation?

"Let's go!" pulled up the snow. Tian Xian walked to the door.

There was nothing changed in the room, the antique furnishings, the not bright but warm firelight, the crackling of burning wood in the fireplace. Tian Xian held the heavy wooden doorknob. Pull gently.

The door was pulled open in a light way.

This made Tian Xian stunned. This door is so easy to open, wouldn't it be possible to leave this room directly?

But, when the door is fully open. When Tian Xian saw the scene outside, his eyes couldn't help but become solemn.

The original hallway was gone, and behind the door was a room, exactly the same room as the one he was in, the same size, the same furnishings, and even on the chair in front of the fireplace, there were the same clothes left by the Grand Duke.

The door seemed to be a mirror, and the inside and outside were exactly the same.

Silently walked into the room outside the door, took a closer look, touched the furnishings, and found that these things were real, including the clothes of the Grand Duke, and even the crown on the ground.

When he came to the window, he was not surprised to find that the outside was the same room, the door of the room was open, and he could see from the door that there was still an identical room behind it.

Walking to the table, Tian Xian picked up a flower on the table, "Xue, take this." ”

Xue took the flower and looked at it, "This...... It's not tasty. ”

"It's not for you to eat...... Tian smiled leisurely, pulled the snow and left.

When he returned to the room just now, he found that the flowers in the vase were gone.

After a few quick realizations, the traces left in one room will be the same in other rooms, and they will be exactly the same.

If you burn this place down...... Tian Xian looked at the flame in the fireplace, but finally dismissed the idea for safety.

There is no doubt that this is not a real environment, although it is very realistic, but this must be a reproduced illusion, an illusion!

In other words, I have unknowingly fallen for the illusion!

But where illusion is used, there will inevitably be flaws!

But this place is really very realistic, I can't see where there are flaws, and I can't even see a little false shadow, Tian Xian and Xue turned around the room many times, and even broke the window to go to other rooms, but there was still no clue.

Sitting on a chair in front of the fireplace, Tian Xian casually played with a crown and frowned in contemplation.

Suddenly, a strange fragrance entered Tianxian's nose, and Tianxian couldn't help but feel refreshed: this fragrance is so familiar!

Looking down, Snow seemed to be a little tired, and had fallen asleep quietly on her shoulder, and she still had the flower in her hand, as if it had been roasted by the heat of the fireplace, and the fragrance was getting stronger and stronger from the flower.

Tian Xian picked up the flower strangely, took a closer look, and immediately smiled.

There is nothing peculiar about this flower, but there is a faint layer in the flower, as if it has been stained with golden liquid, and the flower is close to the fireplace, and the fragrance inside is suddenly stronger.

Smelling this rich aroma, Tian Xian sighed slightly, "Sister Luna, you are really in need of saving people!"

Tian Xian picked a petal and held it in his hand, his eyes suddenly became solemn, and the anti-heart trick was instantly urged, and the faint flame aura left by the evil eye was condensed in Tian Xian's fingertips, and the golden traces on the petals came alive in an instant.

The golden traces floated up a layer of golden light sand, and the scene in the light and sand rolled, like a strange mirror, in which the sky was clear to see the vague appearance of the room.

Without hesitation, Tian Xian threw this petal directly into his mouth and held it, closed his eyes, and the qi and blood of his whole body accelerated and surged, and all the remaining flame breath gathered into his mouth.

The faint flame breath condensed together, forming a scorching breath scorching the petals, and feeling the petals in the mouth burning, releasing the scorching breath, Tianxian let out a loud sigh and suddenly opened his eyes!

The illusion is gone!

Tianxian was still sitting in his seat, still in that room, and Arion and Grand Duke Nanxiang were still in the chairs in front of the fireplace, but now they both looked at Tianxian dumbfounded, their faces full of incredulity.

"Actually...... Break the Dream of Food!"

The Grand Duke's face was particularly shocked, and he looked at Tian Xian as if he was looking at a monster, "And it's useless even to have a holy stigma!"

Tian Xian looked around, Xue leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep peacefully, it seemed that he slept sweetly, and there was no sign of nightmares.

Crooked his body and let Xue lean on him, so as not to stiffen his neck after a long time, and then Tian Xian turned to Grand Duke Nanxiang, "Now, you should be satisfied, right?"

The Grand Duke was stunned, recovered from the shock, and hurriedly said: "It's incredible, this food dream realm can be regarded as a must for my Nanxiang, I didn't expect it to be broken so easily! Amazing, amazing!!"

Tian Xian smiled, this illusion may be very difficult for others, but there is not much difficulty for himself, when in the silent forest, as an elf, Luna has perfectly presented the dream derived from the dream eating flower, compared with the scene that looked complicated and magnificent at that time, this small room is really nothing remarkable, maybe the elf's understanding of this naturally occurring strange flowers and plants, far more profound than humans.

Thanks to curiosity pestering Luna to ask about Dream Eater, otherwise she would have been unlucky today.

Looking at the Grand Duke of Nanxiang, Tian smiled incomparably brightly. (To be continued......)
