72. Women's trio
The sky was blue and cloudless, and it was good weather for an empty boat.
On this day, the largest port of Euleni was about to welcome another large merchant ship with seven or eight sails, which belonged to the Duke's palace of Amphilos by looking at the emblem on its hull.
The special feature of this ship is that it will be docked at Yuleni for seven days, and ordinary empty ships - whether merchant ships carrying goods or passenger ships carrying many guests - can stay in the royal capital for no more than five days, but this ship is a special exception.
The merchants and shipwrights in the harbor have known the news these days, and this merchant ship from the Duke of Amphilos' palace seems to have goods that even His Royal Highness the Grand Prince Justis attaches great importance to, and it must be extremely valuable, not to mention priceless.
Dozens of versions of the artifact's true appearance were concocted and passed on by word of mouth, and the more exaggerated they became, such as the treasures of the old magician that had been treasured for a lifetime, or the tears of the mermaid princess in the distant land of the Siren, the wings of the archangels and the horns of demons.
One of the most important and mysterious theories is that this treasure is the legendary Book of Creation.
The book will be handed over to the archangel for safekeeping, and once it is in its hands, it will be able to give the world a new life with its own strength, a true masterpiece of God that is open to hanging.
People don't know the Children of Prophecy, but they all know the Book of Creation, and without the Book of Creation there would be no world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Book of Creation is the root of the whole world.
However, everyone is just talking, no one will take this rumor seriously, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince named the treasure sent by the Duke of Amphilos' palace may be the treasure of the magician or the tears of the mermaid princess, in short, it will not be the Book of Creation.
Legends should only be stored in legends, the people of Fergar have seen monsters, but no one has ever seen gods, so they believe that there are monsters, but instinctively feel that gods and angels are far away from reality, even if they also believe that the heavenly realm hangs above the human realm when they have this idea, and people will go to heaven when they die.
This does not conflict with the gods they will worship in the Holy See, faith is one thing, and legends are another. Moreover, they saw the power of the Holy See and the High Priest, and they would be convinced even if the divine power did not come from God.
However, this phenomenon is also inseparable from the canons and missionary methods of the Holy See, the content of the canons has been revised over the years, ordinary people have several versions of the most widely circulated book alone, and many people are numb after changing more, so there are also many believers who actually have no God in their eyes, they shout every day in their mouths and are secretive, and the true face of the object of worship three times a day is the absolute power at the top of the Holy See, that is, the incredible divine power possessed by the high priest and others.
Just as the dark element, which is separated from the four systems, can only be used by demons, the light element that can be captured by divine power is almost the last gift left by the god before disappearing.
"These people really dare to think, how is it possible to create the Book of Creation or something, and what kind of magic envoy treasure and mermaid princess tears...... Are they kids who haven't been to school? ”
In a warehouse on the merchant ship of Amphilos, where miscellaneous goods and dry rations were kept, a young girl sitting on a cargo box immediately expressed her opinion after listening to her companion's relay, and her delicate face showed disdain.
"Actually, I can quite understand their thoughts...... Everyone is racking their brains to figure out what it is that makes His Royal Highness the Great Prince pay so much attention, isn't it? ”
Another girl in a headscarf sitting next to a delicate girl said this, her voice like a silver bell, sounding like singing.
Seeing that the focus of the two companions had shifted, the girl who had told the rumors before couldn't help but snort angrily, "Have you all forgotten the purpose of our trip? Why should we care about topics that are talked about by ordinary people? ”
Her figure is more mature than the other two girls, and her appearance is more gorgeous, obviously with an unhappy look, and her tone of voice is also cold, but it gives people an indescribable sense of cuteness.
The girl wrapped in the headscarf hurriedly said "I'm sorry", and the girl who was the first to say something about it smiled disdainfully: "Of course I haven't forgotten, but whose fault is it that I lost Big Brother Orwin?" She said, glancing meaningfully at the girl who had told the rumor.
That's right, these three girls are Priscilla, Tracy, and Angelina, who was pulled by Teresy onto a thief ship, and they were supposed to stay in the Duke of Amphilos' palace, but at this time, they hid in the merchant ships of the Duke's palace through Guò, and chased after the knights of Orwin.
Choked by her sister, Priscilla's face turned red and white, and she argued, "Big brother probably changed the route when he found out about us, and my judgment is not wrong." ”
"Oh, who knows, sister, you haven't been very successful in magic, isn't it very likely that you will make a mistake in judging the route." Tracy said in a deliberately underwhelming tone, her feet dangling from the outside of the box.
Priscilla shouted, "Tracy! No matter how good I am in magic, my brothers are better than you don't even have a talent for magic, and Amphilos has never produced a descendant who can't even use magic, and you're the only one! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Priscilla's expression became even more ugly than that of Tracy, and she covered her mouth in hindsight, eager to swallow all the words she had just said back into her stomach.
Their father and mother both have excellent sorcerer blood, and it stands to reason that the children they produce should inherit their excellent bloodline, such as the eldest brother Orwin, the second brother Gustav and her.
Alvin is good at fog magic under the water branch, Gustav is proficient in the three systems of wind and water and fire magic, and the thunder magic that combines the three systems into one is even more amazing, she is not as talented as the first two brothers, but she also has good qualifications for the feng shui double system, and many people in the academy are afraid of mentioning her name of "Ice and Snow Rose".
Except for Tracy.
The sweet and delicate Terecy, the fourth child of Duke Amphilos and Princess Juliana, had no magical possibility.
The Headmaster of the Valiant Eagle shook his head at their father, and the High Priestess told their mother that there was nothing they could do, that Tracy was destined not to follow the path of a brother and sister as a magician in this life, and that her life would be fixed as a typical and ordinary young lady, like a crystal made at a high price, which was empty and lustrous but fragile and fragile.
Priscilla still liked her sister very much when she was a child, even if she couldn't use magic, but maybe because she had heard too much gossip from her servants since she was a child, and the difference between Tracy and the other siblings was obvious, Tracy's personality was very eccentric.
What's even more ironic is that Ronoye, who was born later, perfectly inherited her parents' good magical qualifications, and like Gustav, she is a three-line of wind and fire, and Tracy in the middle looks nondescript, and her temperament becomes even more eccentric.
Those who don't know her are easily fooled by her angelic smile, and once they go deeper, they will be forced to retreat by the endless mean words from her mouth, and Priscilla has not found a way to live peacefully with her sister until now, but Tracy seems to only play temper with Priscilla, which is normal in front of Alvin and Gustav.
Fortunately, Tracy likes Ronoye's brother very much, even a little sickly, and Priscilla slowly finds a common topic between sisters, that is, something related to Ronoye, and Ronoye's birth only eases their tense sisterhood.
Before Ronoye was ten years old, they often played in the garden with Ronoye's hand left and right, and it was also for this reason that Ronoye's personality was somewhat influenced by them, the proud part followed her, and the withdrawn part followed Tracy.
Priscilla always reminds herself to be patient with Tracy, but she still forgets again and again under Tracy's unintentional verbal attacks, and this time, too, she said cruel things in a fit of anger, regardless of Tracy's hard-to-do nature.
Her sister seems to be indestructible, but in fact she is more suspicious and sensitive than anyone else, with low self-esteem, but she stubbornly pretends not to care, sometimes she looks hateful, and sometimes she feels a little distressed.
Tracy ...... What I just said was excessive, I'm sorry. ”
Priscilla thought about it for a long time, and finally only thought of using this sentence to break the deadlock.
Hearing the third sister's guilty tone, Tracy suddenly giggled, causing Priscilla's eyes to widen without warning.
Tracy stopped her shaking legs, pointed at Angelina with her toes, and said, "I don't know magic, but what does it matter, I still have Lena." ”
She flirtatiously hooked Angelina's face, flicked the golden curls under the other's headscarf with her fingers, and said, "Lina said she would protect me well." ”
Angelina was startled and replied rather embarrassedly: "Hmm...... Yes, I said. ”
Tracy's eyes were blank, and her face turned to other places that were not blocked by Priscilla and Angelina, and after a while, she moved back and let go of Angelina.
Priscilla was frustrated by her sister's behavior, but on the other hand, it was clear that Tracy didn't really want to continue the conversation.
She guessed that Tracy wanted to be alone for a while now, so she called Angelina away, and the two of them walked out of the warehouse together, standing in the hallway to blow the wind.
It's rare for the two of them to be together, so there's nothing to say, and the atmosphere is even worse than when they're in the warehouse, with Priscilla leaning back to the wall as if thinking about something, and Angelina doesn't want to come to the door to die.
Time had been long, and Angelina was eager to sneak away while Priscilla was not looking, looking around for an opportunity.
After about three minutes, Priscilla suddenly spoke.
"Miss Greenwin, what do you think of Tracy?"
She asked casually, but Angelina listened with horror.
She saw Priscilla's attitude towards Gorando, who was close to Ronoye, and now she asked herself what she thought of Tracy, and was it intended to threaten her as well?
Angelina peeked at Priscilla's frosty side face and replied tentatively, "I think...... Tracy was pathetic. ”
Priscilla raised her eyebrows: "You think she's pitiful, that's why you're messing around with her?" ”
"No, it's not!" Angelina waved her hand in denial, "I...... Actually, Miss Tracy was the first to be friends with me! ”
She was bluffed by Priscilla like this, and the word "Miss" slipped out.
"Tracy and you first?" Priscilla was a little surprised.
Will her sister be the type to take the initiative to find someone to be friends with?
Angelina answered, thought for a moment and replied, "Miss Tracy was more hostile to me at first, as she was to Mr. Gorando, but then she saw that Ronoye didn't like me, and the hostility disappeared. ”
"So you became friends?" Priscilla furrowed her eyebrows.
"yes." Angelina nodded in confusion.
That's ridiculous......
Priscilla sighed secretly.
I hadn't asked before, but now she found out that Tracy would be friendly with a canary like Angelina, and she was bound to take it wherever she went, which she felt quite unbelievable.
Isn't there a stupid girl like Angelina all over the streets! I didn't see Tracy so interested in other people of the same type.
Come to think of it, Priscilla has to admit that this is Tracy's unique taste.
