Chapter 38: Ambiguity in the Moonlight (4)
Victor said solemnly: "The first reason is that as a great archon, you must act majestic during the day, but how old are you now? Are you like your father who has a face all the year round? It is better to smile more and vent the feelings in your heart, otherwise you will become a gargoyle sooner or later."
"Nasty!" Faras snorted, he had heard Ryan tell about the adventures of King Alexander's tomb, knew what a gargoyle was, and now heard that Victor actually compared himself with this, of course, he wanted to vent his dissatisfaction.
Victor laughed, quite satisfied with his own means, at least he pulled Faras alone from time to time, using the more casual relationship between teachers and students, as much as possible to let Faras vent the depression in his heart, otherwise it doesn't take too much, in a few years Faras is likely to become a real person with too much desire for power because of the perennial monopoly of power, and all the rulers who have monopoly power will feel lonely because of the power, but this kind of person cannot open his heart to others, so in order to exclude this lonely feeling, the ruler will put more and more attention on how to consolidate the power in his hands, a little thing is likely to wipe out the family, and a sentence and an action may contain all kinds of scheming.
Luke had already faintly appeared such signs back then, but the family affection of the Faras sisters and Luke's inner loyalty to the empire allowed him to remain sane, but once a person is completely trapped in power, how long can he maintain his sanity Even the ** master Victor is not clear.
So during the day, although Victor hated politics very much, he still taught Faraz how to maintain the majesty of the superior in the face of his people, how to quietly lay out layers of checks and balances on his subordinates, and how to intrigue with political enemies with a smile on his face, these things Victor did not like, but he still learned a lot from books and from Luke.
In the evenings, Victor would often take Faras to live an ordinary life, sometimes to the farm outside the imperial capital, sometimes to chat about the past with a glass of Bordeaux wine, and a few times simply take Faras to meditate and specialize in the mysteries of magic.
It is precisely because of this that Faras can still maintain her innocence, she is a majestic archon in dealing with government affairs, but in private, Faras is still the slightly squeamish, but kind-hearted sorceress that Ryan knew. Faras naturally understands Victor's hard work, so although he is ruthless in his mouth, he respects Victor more and more in his heart.
"The second point is to look at the moon. Victor said lightly.
"Moon, what's so beautiful?Besides, even if I want to see it, I can't be with you, why do I have to accompany Ryan......" Faras said this, and suddenly she couldn't say any more, and her heart swelled up with thoughts of her intimate lover.
"Ahem!" Victor coughed, taking up Faras's thoughts, and then said slowly, "You know, I once spent almost half of my mana to prove something, and these mana were enough to unleash the wrath of a Thor who destroyed the imperial capital. ”
"Wow, you're so extravagant!" said Faras, pouting, "If this is drawn into a scroll and auctioned off at Blackstone, how can there be millions of gold coins, right?"
"Ahem, ahem!" Faras's words caused Victor to cough a few more times, but this time to get rid of the awkward expression: "What do you little girl know! ”
"Oh, what is it?" Victor's words made Faraz's heart swell with curiosity, and the matter of consuming the mana proof of releasing a forbidden spell should be very important, right?
"On a starry night, well, it's not the same as tonight. Victor said.
"Oh, you're so long-winded!" Farah interrupted Victor's words mercilessly: "There are a lot of old words, is it possible that the dignified ** master has aged to this appearance?"
Victor sneered and said, "You talk more than I do now, and even if you get older, you are a little older." ”
"Aren't you going to say something very important, does it have anything to do with the age of the two of us?" Faras saw Victor's sharp words, and immediately changed the subject.
Victor said slowly, "If you had shut up, I would have finished the matter, Grandma Faras!"
"Blame, baby Victor. Faras patted Victor's head quite presumptuously, and said with a smile: "Do you want my sister to buy you candy to eat?"
"Hmph, it's not big or small!" Victor saw that the joke was almost open, and Faraz's mind was almost opened, so he said seriously: "In a short period of time, I used the 'Time and Space Gate' magic to teleport several times, and each teleportation brought over a few attendants, and their task was to map the distribution of stars in the sky. ”
"The time portal teleportation time is not very long, and it can be assumed that the time it took them to map the distribution of the stars is about the same. However, when I got a few maps of the stars and compared them carefully, I found that they were exactly the same. In other words, the night sky we see now is exactly the same at the same time, even from tens of thousands of miles away. ”
"What does that mean?" said Faras, puzzled.
"Alas, you little fool!" Victor couldn't help but curse: "In other words, the moon you see now, if Ryan is also watching, you must see the same, and it is no different from you sitting side by side and looking at it!"
Faras was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, she looked up at the bright moon in the sky in a daze, and suddenly shouted uncontrollably: "Ryan, I'm Faras, I've been waiting for you in the imperial capital, do you hear?"
In Iron Fist Castle, Ryan was concentrating on telling Vivien about his adventures with Faraz, of course, he consciously ignored the places that might reveal his identity during the whole adventure, but even so, it made the female warrior Vivien listen with relish.
Suddenly, Ryan only felt a strong wave of magic in the moonlight in the sky, and faintly heard a familiar voice in his ears: "I'm waiting for you! Waiting for ......you!"
This voice turned out to be the voice of Faras, who had been separated for three years, Ryan jumped up suddenly, looking incredibly in the direction of the imperial capital, and the voice in his ears seemed to be calling him constantly, but Ryan listened attentively, but only heard a subtle insect chirping, is this just his own delusion? Or is Farath's longing power so powerful that the voice calling for himself can be transmitted here?
Ryan was excited, he could no longer control his feelings, tears of longing swirled in his eyes, he hurriedly raised his head to look up at the night sky, a female head suddenly appeared faintly in the center of the bright moon, Ryan rubbed his eyes incredulously, it turned out to be Faras, but when Ryan blinked his eyes a few times and looked again, he only saw a watery moonlight.
Ryan slowly put his hand on his left chest, and made a firm oath in his mouth: "Fani, I promise you, I will definitely come back, wait for me! I will make you the most beautiful and unhappy bride on this continent, there is no one!"
The bright moon hung in the sky, the breeze blew the fluttering leaves, Vivien, who was sitting on the ground, looked at Ryan's back, listened to Ryan's oath in her ears, and the sorrow in her heart could no longer be held back, and tears came out of her eyes.
