my age of magic

Chapter 889 390. The Curse of the Angibald Royal Family
That feeling is very strange, like walking into an illusory emerald dream.

The faint fog wrapped me, so that I couldn't see the distant scenery. I could only walk forward step by step. Every step was so cautious. I kept trying to clear the fog in front of me, trying to see clearly. In the real world, I even forgot where I came from, where I was, and where I was going.

I found that there were layers of fog even under my feet, and I was actually suspended in an unknown space.

A drop of clear and transparent water passed my eyes and flew from bottom to top. It violated my cognition.

Then, I clearly heard the sound of 'click' falling into the water.

Suddenly, I looked up and saw a blue and vast lake above my head.

Oh no!That's not a lake, the lake is not that big, it's a sea!

A sea of ​​tranquility as calm as a mirror.

It was the layers of fog that appeared in front of my eyes that blocked me, allowing me to see it at this time.

However, in the sea water above my head, a vague woman's face floated quietly on the sea surface, that face was completely composed of water elements, she looked a little like Ying Li, and a little like Qige , or somewhere like Sister Guoguo.

In a trance, that face suddenly asked me: "Where are you from?"

A powerful spiritual force rushed towards my face, occupying my body and controlling my thinking, like countless spider threads bound me in place.

I try my best to recall my past. It feels like going back in time. The scenery in front of me is regressing rapidly. The bustling imperial capital, the quiet city of El, the desolate Pai Plateau, and the emerald green star lake Grasslands, the endless New Siakis Mountains.

The picture in my mind suddenly freezes in front of a burning forest, surrounded by continuous snow mountains, wrapping this burning forest, every tree is burning continuously, as if those flames are them The leaves formed a sea of ​​fire, but the surroundings were endless snow-capped mountains, and the sky was filled with snowflakes.

Just among the rolling mountains, an old orc wearing a tattered animal skin was walking hard on the snow.

He lives on a crutch with a weird shape, like a wooden stick covered with totems, with a beast's skull inlaid on the top of the stick. Every step he takes seems very difficult, and the cold wind is mixed with snowflakes Blowing in his face like a blade.

Behind the old orc was a young orc with a wooden bow on his back. His body seemed to have been frozen and he was curled up in a leather jacket, only revealing a pair of clear eyes. He walked forward step by step along the footsteps of the old orc. , it seems that it is possible to fall at any time.

He stopped and stared ahead at the edge of the burning forest, where a baby lay in the snow on the edge of the deep forest.

There is a place where the wind, snow and flames meet. The snowflakes that are as sharp as knives are blown there, and are quickly swallowed by layers of heat waves that burn the forest. Those heat waves want to extend outward, but are blown out by the biting cold wind.

I suddenly remembered why the face of the old orc was so familiar. He was the old Kuru, and the orc child following him was not Kurz?

And that baby lying on the ground, could it be me?
if it was me?

Then why am I still here?

I yelled excitedly, but the voice was blocked in my throat, and I couldn't utter it anyway, and I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely.

"what!"

I finally woke up.

The world that was burning with raging flames and covered with snow was also shattered into countless fragments, like a shattered mirror.

The scene in front of me has returned to its original appearance. There is a round table in the empty living room, and a huge crystal ball is placed on the round table. Prince James and I stand in front of the crystal ball. The surface reflected my face, pale as if awakened from a dream.

Prince James stood aside with his hands behind his back, his hair was carefully combed, and he looked at me calmly.

"Follow me!" He spoke in a perfect Imperial language, and walked towards the door after speaking.

I was like a puppet at the mercy of others, and while following behind him, I took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on my forehead, but my footsteps did not hesitate, and I felt that as long as I hesitated, he would Yingli was taken away from me.

The corridors of the old castle are quiet and terrifying. The corridors are covered with scarlet carpets, and the magic lamps on the walls are made of pure gold, inlaid with colorful gemstones. I always have the urge to take out a knife to pry a piece off .

In addition to the middle-aged butler following behind Prince James, there are also two constructed knights with no apparent strength, who follow behind Prince James expressionlessly, followed by two attendants .

Fortunately, Prince James didn't go too far, and stopped in front of a staircase. He turned around and stared at me silently.

He stared at me and asked, "Do you know what it means to be an Angibald royal?"

I shook my head and stopped following him.

"We enjoy the glory and wealth left to us by our ancestors. At the same time, every Angibald person needs to bear certain responsibilities for this huge family, whether it is for the family, for the royal family, or It is the fate of every Angibald, for the sake of the Grimm Empire," said Prince James to me.

At this moment, I couldn't help but slander in my heart: Like the Prince of Wales, it is probably the responsibility of those princes to command a Constructed Knights to fight on the battlefield.

Obviously, this is much better than the situation of princesses who want to marry those lords who have the right to inherit the title or own the territory, at least they don't have to worry about whether the person sleeping next to the pillow is a pig or a mule.

After all, this is an era where the strong are respected.

He stepped down the stairs, the middle-aged butler came to the front, took out a large bunch of keys, after searching for a long time, he found one of them, put it into the keyhole and twisted it, the antique big wooden door'click 'It was opened with a sound, and the two attendants who followed hurriedly walked up and pushed the heavy wooden door open.

He took me in, and I felt a lot cooler inside, and he said to me as he walked: "But Yingli is different, she has paid enough for the Angel Boulder family, I hope she will be happy every day in the future." live a happy life.”

I agree with this sentence, thinking that Prince James and Yingli are blood thicker than water after all.

After walking down a gentle slope, we came across another door at the corner.

He stopped in front of the door, his eyes became softer, and he said to me: "She is my most precious daughter, and I love her, just like Philharmonic."

The middle-aged butler opened the door again without saying a word. Prince James led me and I continued to walk in. Looking at his back, my steps inevitably hesitated.

I suspect that there must be some ulterior secret hidden here, otherwise there would not be so many gates, and the color of the walls here has become a little thicker, which makes me nervous.

I even felt a little worried: Is Prince James trying to let me know a secret that cannot be revealed, so that he will have a reason to kill me.

Just thinking about it made my back feel a little chilly, I quickly shook my head to drive away the messy thoughts in my head.

He went on to say: "Of course, she has the right to choose happiness, but she is so young, and Manda and I are worried that she will regret her choice someday in the future."

He paused for a while, and then said: "But she is a stubborn girl, with a temper that is a bit towards me, and a little pride in her heart, which is a bit like her mother."

We walked to the third gate, which was made of high-quality walnut wood. The relief on the door panel was two angels with wings on their backs. As if facing the battle, another angel crossed his hands in front of his chest, in a gesture of prayer.

The middle-aged key unlocked the door, but the two attendants did not follow up and push the door.

The two constructed knights who were following Prince James were also separated on both sides of the gate at this time, and it seemed that they did not intend to go in.

Prince James looked at me seriously and said, "I don't intend to hurt you, and I don't want Li to bear grudges against me after winning. I promised her that she will choose the way she wants in the future."

He pushed open the wooden door with one hand and walked in.

His voice came from inside: "I will not intervene in your affairs, nor will I obstruct them, but I need you to know that if you take an Angibald princess, you will face the pressure And responsibility, but you also need to understand that sometimes life is actually quite fragile.”

I hesitated, but I gritted my teeth and walked in.

Just as I took the first step inside, Prince James said again: "If you want to quit now, it's still too late, you just have to promise me that you will never approach her or look for her again." , and don’t let her see it anymore, I can pretend that you haven’t been here at all.”

Hearing what he said, I hesitated for a moment. It was already difficult to keep my breathing calm. I clenched my fists tightly and struggled a little.

Just when I was a little hesitant in my heart, the golden time flow and the vast field suddenly appeared in my mind. In front of a white tent, Ying Li was squatting on the grass, quietly watching the blue clumps in front of my feet. I know that cluster of flowers has a beautiful name.

'Do not forget me'

I stepped in.

Until this moment, Prince James's calm eyes showed a slight fluctuation, and he looked at me with some surprise.

He said to me: "You are quite courageous, but courage is not enough."

He continued to walk inside. It seemed that this corridor was very long. After entering the gate, I found that the color of the walls on both sides had changed to dark purple, and the gorgeous decorative reliefs on the walls had also changed to some dark styles. There are ghost riders riding nightmares, ghosts holding death scythes, and corpse witches holding bone staffs. The vaulted dome of the entire corridor seems to be shrouded in the sky of death.

"This world is not what you see in your eyes. It is stable and peaceful. We can sit in a warm house and taste delicious food as we like. We are destined to fight these dead spirits and the dark forces of hell. To fight, to fight with the demons who came to hell." Prince James continued.

I really want to say to him: We northerners still have to face the brutal barbarians.

At this time, I heard him rambling again: "Angie Boulder is the ruler of Green and the guardian of this land. He has supreme power and is in charge of countless powerful armies, but he also has to face countless enemies. enemy."

At the end of the corridor was another door.

At this time, Prince James untied a bunch of golden keys from his neck and opened the door.

This time, James didn't stop at the door, but walked in directly.

I also walked in right behind him.

Unexpectedly, this place turned out to be a huge showroom. There were a row of display cabinets in the room, on which were placed all kinds of armor and magic weapons made of magic patterns. These items were covered with dust, and some ancient magic patterns Constructing armor, the surface has lost its luster and magical fluctuations.

On the wall, there are a row of oil paintings of portraits of people. When I first saw those oil paintings, I didn't think there was anything wrong with them, but after I looked back a few times, I felt that these oil paintings The people on the scene all look young.

I thought they were members of the Angibald family, but it turns out they don't look alike.

"That's right, they were all married to the princesses of the Angibald royal family, and they all died because of it, some on the battlefield, some died in an assassination, and some died from the curse of undead spells , and some died of unknown reasons... Many people cannot escape this fate, or it can be said to be a curse." Prince James said to me indifferently.

"Everyone will die. Some die from disease, some from accidents, and some from war. In our northern border, men who have not served in the military are not considered adults. I am not afraid of death!" I raised my head. Said to Prince James.

"Maybe one day you too will be a picture on this wall and your name will not be in the royal register," Prince James told me.

"I heard that you are going to marry Le Die to William, isn't William afraid?" I asked Prince James back.

"Standing behind William is a huge family, and the Mo family will arrange knights to guard him." Prince James said.

I thought Prince James would bully me, or threaten or intimidate me.

But I didn't expect that I just showed me some oil paintings hanging on the wall, and then said to me: Ah, those people died because they married princesses... Are you afraid?
Of course I'm not afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of.

But to be honest, there are really a lot of people who married the princesses of the Angibald royal family. The walls of the entire showroom are almost covered with oil paintings, and I suddenly wondered whether I might really be one of them. one.

……

Prince James had no intention of taking me to lunch at the castle.Of course, I didn't see the elf woman, Mrs. Manda either.

After confirming that he couldn't convince me, Prince James took me out of the showroom and asked the middle-aged butler to send me out of the Prince's mansion.

From the beginning to the end, he did not ask about the news about Yingli.

Katerina waited anxiously for me standing in the manor, and when she saw me coming out, she rushed up to meet me and felt relieved when she saw that my body was intact.
