PS: I'm having terrible diarrhea. Sorry for the late update.
After taking a shower, the whole bathroom was full of water splashes.
When night fell, Sylvia firmly refused to let Laing spend the night with Suria, so Laing could only be chased out of the Fairy Tower in the Lake. He stayed in the master bedroom on the fourth floor of the castle.
Laing did not have any objections to this. In fact, even if Sylvia did not say so, Laing would not sleep with Suria, because the female knight was now more than eight months pregnant, and her condition was very strange. When Laing came back, he just held Suria and sat on his lap to talk for a while, but the female knight's face showed a very special expression that only Laing could see.
This gave Laing and the others a big fright. It took Suria more than ten minutes to come back to her senses, especially in front of the Fairy of the Lake. The female knight was so embarrassed that she directly fainted.
In the end, Sylvia was now guarding against Laing like a wolf. The maid loudly ordered Laing not to touch Suria before she gave birth. At most, they could only hold hands, especially at night.
The dark elf's maid uniform was soaked in water when she served Laing in the bath. She had now changed into a deep and seductive velvet simple classical diagonal buttoned nightgown, paired with a pair of simple purple high-heeled sandals. Her jade-like feet with purple nail polish were wrapped in white velvet stockings. The dark elf followed behind Laing. She crossed her arms over her lower abdomen and said softly, "Master, you've been gone for months. If I knew this, I would have gone with you."
"I don't want you to go with me for your own good, Olica. Don't you want to be disturbed?" Laing's face was refreshed, and he looked at his maid with a playful gaze. "But you're not suitable. I remember that you're not good at large-scale AoE magic."
The dark elf's eyes flickered. In the end, she said in a low voice, "Master, you don't understand dark magic. Compared to the Eight Winds of Magic, Goddess Hecate's dark magic is much more powerful and varied, not to mention Aurora's ice magic."
"Olica, Duruzi also knew ice magic when they were in Nagaros?" Laing's interest was piqued. Teresa and Veronica were still on their way back with the army, and Morgiana had just finished her business in Kurona. Olica was the only one who could answer him about magic.
"Ice magic is not that complicated, master." Olica shook her head. "Master, do you know the origin of ice magic?"
"Queen Miska of Kislöw?" Laing tried.
"Ha, stupid humans always think that their history is long enough." Olica's face was red as she held Laing's arm. Her tone was full of disdain and contempt. "Ice magic can be traced back to more than seven thousand years ago. At that time, the Elven Empire was exploring the distant and cold Nagaros. In the far north, the elves found some ruins left by the ancient saint. There were some strange ice pillars in the ruins, and they emitted the purest ice energy. This energy does not belong to the Eight Winds of Magic, but it is still a powerful magic. Do you understand what I mean? Master? "
"You mean the earliest origin of ice magic was a gift from the ancient saint?!" Laing's eyes widened. "No wonder. The ancient saint once traveled the whole world. Kislöw must have such ruins. No wonder, no wonder ice witches only appear in places like Kislöw, Nord, and Auster! No wonder Tsar Katarina never left her ice palace! Olica, why didn't you tell me if you knew such an important thing? "
"Because you didn't ask, master." The dark elf smiled strangely. She held Laing's arm, and there was a sly light in her amber eyes. "I wouldn't have told you if you didn't ask!"
"Sly fellow …" Laing reached out and gently scratched the dark elf's nose. "Don't hide anything from master in the future!"
"Then master must show your sincerity …" The dark elf thought that she was the only one by Laing's side. She was a little excited and proud. "It won't do if you don't work hard!"
However, the show did not last long. As soon as the dark elf opened the door to the master bedroom, the smile on her face froze.
The Lady of the Lake, who was wearing a ruffled chiffon dress with lotus-colored foundation, was sitting on the master's chair. The goddess crossed her long legs wrapped in nude stockings and looked at Laing and his maid with a faint smile. "My champion, you took a long bath, didn't you?"
"I have the freedom to arrange my own time, my lady." Laing thought that the goddess was up to something again.
After spending so much time together, Laing understood the high elf goddess very well. She had a cold and strict side, but also a wicked side. She was somewhat pessimistic about the future, but even so, the goddess still tried everything to resist the Final Moment.
In this case, the direction was very important. If the direction was wrong, then all the efforts of the Lady of the Lake would be useless. Instead, it would give the Evil God great power because she was trying hard to change.
"You forgot that your Suria has already entrusted you to me." The Lady of the Lake smiled playfully. She stretched out a beautiful foot. "Laing, my shoe fell off. Help me pick it up."
Laing nodded. He bent down and picked up the high heel that the goddess had dropped on the ground. He walked up to her and knelt down on one knee, gently helping her put it on. The goddess' ankle was in his hand. The gentle and delicate touch made Laing a little uncomfortable, but he still calmed down and helped the Lady of the Lake put on the high heel.
"Laing, my champion, do you know that although you looked a little embarrassed when you agreed to Suria, you look very handsome when you put on my shoes?" The Lady of the Lake said with a smile.
"Oh, you, Lilith, you just like that." Leon remembered that he had been away for more than half a year and it was the Lake Fairy who had been accompanying Sulia. His heart felt warm, but he did not say anything. He pulled the dark elf to sit beside the goddess. "Good evening, my lady. Would you like a drink?"
"I won't be drinking wine." The Lady of the Lake shook her head. The goddess stared at Laing and suddenly sighed. "I'm here to discuss with you about the future plans. Laing, my champion, you've basically solved the internal and external problems of the Knight King Kingdom. You've done well, but we're not the only force of order in the old world."
"I understand, my lady. Did your prophecy foresee anything else?" Laing immediately sensed that the Lady of the Lake was hinting at something else.
"Yes, my prophecy tells me that in the future, the Empire will face several severe tests. My champion, the kingdom is now under your control, but we must not sit back and watch the Empire collapse. The Empire is the gateway to the mortal world to resist the Northern Tide. The Empire cannot fall. When necessary, even if there are no benefits, you must support the Empire. Can you do that?" The Lady of the Lake's expression became serious.
"Of course, I understand." Leon nodded repeatedly. His mind was very clear when it came to critical issues. Without the lips, the teeth would feel cold. Every time the Empire encountered a major crisis, the knights of Brittania would choose to support the Empire even if there were no benefits. This practice had been maintained for thousands of years.
On the other hand, the Empire rarely thought of their chivalrous brothers on the other side of the mountain. Many of the Brittany nobles had opinions about this, but they didn't say much because of the spirit of chivalry. The Lady of the Lake knew that Laing probably didn't need to be reminded, but she still had to emphasize it.
Once the Empire fell, the Brittany would have no way to resist the tide of Chaos.
"Very well." The Lady of the Lake nodded and said faintly, "Laing, my champion. You have sacrificed a lot, but I have also given you everything. You are about to become the Knight King. In the mortal world, there is nothing I can give you. You will have to rely on yourself from now on."
"I will go to the Empire next year. First, I will meet up with Emmanuelle in Brunswick to watch the 'Night of the Thousand Spells' competition for the new chief wizard of the royal family. I will also discuss with Emperor Karl-franz about the migration of people. After that, I will go to Nur and stay there for a while. After that, I will go to Nur, the southern strategic town of the Empire, the industrial center and the academic center. I will find a way to recruit enough talents." Laing told the Lady of the Lake his plan in detail.
"Who do you plan to bring with you?" The Lady of the Lake nodded.
"I won't bring Teresa and Veronica this time. I will bring Olica. As for Suria, I will see how she recovers after giving birth." Laing said seriously.
"Very well. I will give you a surprise when the time comes." The fairy in the lake first looked at the silent dark elf, then at Leon, who was now over thirty years old, a strange emotion in her eyes.
The Lady of the Lake and Laing were now inseparable. They were now in a close alliance. Through a series of arrangements, the Lady of the Lake had firmly tied Laing to her chariot. However, the Lady of the Lake had also paid a great price. For this, apart from Suria and Morgiana, she had also sacrificed herself.
"Speaking of which, Laing, are you really planning to build a canal? How many people do you plan to recruit? " After getting a satisfactory answer, the Lady of the Lake cleverly changed the topic. She said in a sweet voice, "Aren't you afraid that with so many people gathered together, there will be trouble?"
"It's nothing more than relief with work." Laing sneered. "In this day and age, how many people are willing to use their strength in exchange for food? Katzenberg has calculated that as long as we send out a notice, we can easily recruit tens of thousands of people. "
Do you think I'm Yang Guang, the Emperor of Sui Yang?
I'm actually Roosevelt!
After exchanging a few words, the time was almost up. The Lake Fairy hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she extended a slender finger and tapped Clayon's forehead. "Recently, Sulia has asked me to take care of you, so I'll be here tonight. But if you do anything stupid, I'll leave immediately!"
"If you don't let me mess around at night, then what are you doing here?" Laing complained. "Do you want me to be a beast or worse than a beast?"
The Duke's humorous words made the Lady of the Lake and the Dark Elf couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
"Hahahaha!" The Lady of the Lake laughed a few times. Finally, the Lady of the Lake shook her head. "Forget it, you can be with the Dark Elf tonight. I won't stay here. Laing, you and I will wait for the best time to be together, just like we planned."
"I don't need a bitch like you to judge me when I'm with Master!" The Dark Elf was unhappy. Olica stared at the Lady of the Lake fiercely. "Lilith, your power is not as invincible as you think!"
The Lady of the Lake's eyes suddenly became cold. "You … What did you learn from the Pale Queen?!"
"Humph!" The Dark Elf hid behind Laing and leaned on his back. "Master, your Lady of the Lake is bullying me!" she muttered.
"Okay, I'm leaving. Have a good night." The Lady of the Lake straightened her skirt and stood up. She pecked Laing on the lips. "Good night, my champion."
"Good night, my Lady."
After the Lady of the Lake left, the Dark Elf maid hugged Laing's neck angrily and said, "I hate her, Master. Don't you think she's a bitch? She's very controlling and likes to cause trouble. "
"Alright, Olica. When you receive God's grace, you have to pay the corresponding price. Even Tegris can't compare to the grace that the Lady of the Lake has given me over the years." Laing smiled. "As long as there are benefits and not obligations, it's a double standard. Without the Lady's full help, I wouldn't have become a king in just ten years."
"Master, remember to tell me when you're ready." The Dark Elf smiled. Her amber eyes shone with a fierce light. "I've also prepared a little 'gift' to deal with her. I guarantee that Lilith will be weak all over."
"I'm looking forward to it … Olica, how's your soul recovering?" Laing asked.
"It's completely recovered, Master!"
"Then, let me take a look?"
… I'm the section divider for my Kang-Kang-Kang-Kang …
A week later, Old World, Southern Kingdom, Estalia, Magritte Port.
The Ashes Corps had already arrived, and the well-equipped human expeditionary army was unloading goods at the docks. The deep waterline and the clattering of the boxes showed how much wealth this army had, but no one dared to have any ideas about this wealth because of this army.
Every soldier of the expeditionary army exuded a strong fighting spirit and killing intent, as well as confidence. This kind of temperament could only be possessed by experienced soldiers. Clearly, these expeditionary army soldiers had experienced countless battles.
Fully armed soldiers of the expeditionary force unloaded the chests of wealth. On the dock, Duke Magritte, Rubio Sungazer, and the dock tax collector appointed by him were sorting out how much tax the fleet should pay.
Forgen strode down from the ship's cabin. At this moment, the president of the Luigi Chamber of Commerce, Hadrian, had already been waiting for a long time. "Sir Forgen, welcome to Magritte. We've already arranged a place for you to descend. The president of the Estalia Merchant Alliance, Mr. Amancio Perez, has already set up a banquet in the Eastern Palace, awaiting your arrival."
"Mm, very good." Forgen nodded. Just as he was about to say something, something happened on the dock caught his attention. "Hm?"
A woman wearing simple and revealing animal skin shorts and short sleeves that exposed her navel was stopped by the dock tax collector. She carried a crossbow on her back and had two short knives at her waist. This woman was about 1.7 meters tall, and her figure was much more muscular than ordinary women. She had a four-pack, but her figure did not appear too strong or bloated. She had a pair of wolf-like blue eyes and brown hair. She had big eyes, thick lips, a high nose, and an S-shaped figure. She wore a pair of simple leather boots that revealed her long, wheat-colored legs.
She was surrounded by a group of people.
The leader was Mrs. Kiesler. He was very bald, and he had a battle axe on his back and a gun at his waist. This person's attitude was unyielding and his tone was very arrogant. "Let me tell you, Norseman, this is the south, not the north. This is a free country. If you want to enter this city, you have to pay a 'protection fee'!"
"Protection fee? I've already paid the tax! Also, although I'm a Norseman, I don't believe in those things! My ancestors moved to Nord hundreds of years ago! "The woman said angrily." Get out of my way! Or I'll do it! You bastards! "
"Who are those people?" Forgen asked Hadrian.
"Kislöw Bear Gang, one of the gangs at the dock. They like to bully outsiders, especially lone adventurers. They're not from the Empire, Brittany, or even locals." Hadrian looked like he was watching a show. "The man in the lead is the gang's boss, Guhuyanov."
"Guhuyanov?"
The gang's boss was enraged. "Bastard? Tarr's tooth, you bastard. Just you wait, I'll kill you in three days. Norseman, just you wait, I'll scatter your ashes! "
"No need for three days. Come now!"
