Chapter 668: The Night of the Full Moon (1)
"It was such a beautiful encounter. At this time, this place. To be able to meet a woman like a lily like you must be arranged by the gods. No, no, it was God's arrangement. It would be a great honour if Miss Vera could grant me a small request to invite you to dinner in the future. I don't know what you think, Miss Vera? Miss? ”
Words like poetry poured out of Lanza's mouth, and this was the only way he had captured the noble ladies and ladies. He bowed pretentiously, only to find that Vera hadn't answered for a long time. So he looked up and saw the girl staring straight ahead. There was no focus in her eyes, her eyes were confused, as if she was staring at some corner of fate.
A peek into the future!
Lanza's heart pounded, and before he could confirm his suspicions, Vera's eyes refocused, and then she apologized, "Please forgive me for being rude, Mr. Lanza." It occurred to me that the church still had some things to attend to, and I couldn't say yes to your invitation. I'm sorry. ”
Seeing that she was leaving, Lanza stood forward and said with a smile: "Miss Vera, did you see the future just now?" If so, please let me know. ”
"No, I'm just tired."
That's weird! Lan Za scolded in his heart, this little would not tell the truth at all. But a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Miss Vera, I can donate money to the church, if you can suggest anything to me." ”
"No comment, Mr. Lanza. The future is wonderful, it's like a reflection in a mirror. Occasionally I can only catch a glimmer of reflection, and at the moment, I obviously don't have that kind of inspiration. Please get out of the way. Vera said indifferently.
Lan Za still wanted to entangle, and suddenly a figure was inserted between the two. The suffocating momentum rushed to his face, and Lan Zha seemed to hear the roar of the soldiers and the neighing of the war horse at this moment. Others are in the White Castle, but it is like being squeezed into the battlefield!
The earl's staff couldn't help but take a few steps back before he saw that it was a knight who stood in his way. The knight wears a set of full-body armor as white as the first snow, and the lines of each decoration on the armor are just right to reflect the majesty and luxury. On the chest is painted in porcelain enamel is a bright red cross, underneath which are three golden swords interlaced. A bright red cloak hung from under the horseman's shoulder armor to the ground, and the silver cross on the cloak was the symbol of the "Crusaders" of the Church.
The noble knight's face was hidden deep in the helmet, revealing only a pair of bright eyes: "Miss Vera has made it very clear, please get out of the way, sir!" ”
"Okay, okay." With a reluctant smile on his face, Lan Za stepped back in a gesture of surrender with both hands, and sideways to get out of the way. He saluted exaggeratedly, and he didn't raise his head until Vera and the knight were warp and weft, but there was a little more resentment in his eyes.
Standing at the window of the hallway, looking out into the small square, Vera got into the church's carriage and left the White Castle with the knights who were protecting her. Lanza said in a voice that he could hear: "Wait and see, when we take over here, I want your little to know how powerful!" ”
He glanced at Jora's bedroom again, and showed a regretful expression: "That is not bad, but it's a pity that for the Earl's plan, he can only cheapen Gilles's boy." Speaking of which, the time is almost up. ”
The carriage walked down the street, and the rider on the right side of the carriage took off his helmet and revealed a young face. Willik exhaled, "It's uncomfortable to wear this armor. ”
Vera, who was in the carriage, lifted the curtains, showed her little face, and said, "You didn't have to come with you. ”
"That's not going to work, the current situation in Ark Harbor is very strange. Not long ago, a team of blood wolf knights from Earl Rykerd officially entered the White Castle, in the name of protecting Earl Gilles, but God knows what the old guy had in mind. And that Lanza, who is the brother of Count Rykerd. Instead of helping his brother in the territory, he ran to Ark Harbor to be a staff member, and it would be hellish if he said it wasn't strange. Willik snorted, "Anyway, I have to keep you and Father Miro safe, but I said Vera, now that the development of the church can be left to other priests, you two should consider going to Castle of Dawn." ”
"Not yet."
"Why?"
"Because of Jora." Vera raised her head, and the bright sunlight of the street shone into her eyes, but it was like a bottomless abyss, and it could not illuminate the girl's eyes: "Her calamity is coming. I saw something on Lanza's body just now. About him, Jora, Gilles, and a cat. ”
"Even cats? Dear Vera, if you don't tell me all, I think curiosity will kill me. Willik exaggerated.
"Come here with your ears."
So Willik mounted his horse close to the side of the car and bent down so that Vera could whisper in his ear. After hearing the truth from Vera's mouth, Willik's mouth opened wide. Vera had the foresight to reach out and hold his mouth so that he would not let out the scream in his stomach and frighten passers-by.
"This, this, this...... It's ridiculous, how could this happen, Vera, you can't be mistaken, right? Willikla lowered his voice after taking the girl's hands down.
Vera withdrew her hands and said lightly, "Of course I can't be mistaken. ”
"Then you can still act as if nothing happened, at least, you should inform Miss Jora, right?"
"Do you think she'll believe it? After all, how could Gilles be her brother's son, and she would believe such a ridiculous thing? ”
Willik scratched his head and said, "That's right, although this kind of thing is not uncommon among nobles, but it is still strange and scary at first hearing." I'm still like that, let alone Miss Jora. No, Master Alan said that he is optimistic about Miss Jora. Why don't I go back and take her away now? ”
"Under what pretext, Mr. Willik? Besides, there is still some time before that happens. It's better to let Jora see the truth before we intervene. In that case, we can win this lady into our camp. Frankly, if Miss Jora were to be the master of Ark Harbor, I think it would be much more reassuring than Gilles. ”
Willik's mouth opened wide and he said for a while, "So you mean, we can use this to win over Miss Jora?" But wouldn't it be rash to let her be the bait? ”
"I said, there's still time. Enough for us to set it up, in the piece of Lanza. I saw a full moon outside the window, you count, how many days is left before the full moon? ”
Willik counted his fingers and said, "Three days?" ”
"That's right, three days to go. Let's go to Father Miro, we'll have to put this matter together, and it's better to deal a blow to Gilles' prestige at once, so that it will be much easier for Jora to take over the Ark Harbor. ”
