Chapter 680： Insider

After a few more seconds of silence, Amber broke the silence again. The half-elf lowered his head and his voice seemed to be whispering: "...so I don't have to look for the whereabouts of my biological parents, right? The old man."

"We just want you to live like a normal child, and normal children have parents." After realizing that you will soon forget your early memories, Sally Randolph told you. Lie, saying that you are from the forest, and your parents are missing." Pitman’s voice was low and he shook his head slightly. “Hey, maybe we should say this lie more thoroughly, you will not be so many years. I have always cared about my biological parents."

"You always know the name "Artificial Man No. 36"?"

"After the death of Surrey Randolph, I found scholars in ancient writing and asked them to help translate the meaning of these letters..." Pitman sighed and said slowly, "but this is no longer meaningful. After reading his notes, even if I can't read the letters, I can guess your origin...so I just wanted to bring this secret into the coffin."

Amber licked his lips: "Fortunately, you didn't bring it in, otherwise I will find you trouble even if I dig it out again."

Pittman spread his hand and showed helpless appearance: "I don't know who you learned from this temper."

Amber’s lips moved, but did not make any noise. She just looked down at the diary that had been yellowed and dilapidated. After a long time, she sighed: “This is at least an answer...”

Gao Wen reached out and gently licked over her head: "Is it alright?"

"I didn't cry."

"I didn't say you cried..."

"...just fine," Amber shook his head, but still didn't avoid Govin's hand. "Just... this answer is different from all the answers I have imagined."

"As an outsider, I can't plan your life for you or decide what you think, but from my point of view... it's all gone," Gao Wen looked at amber, "whether it was those who created you, or These things mentioned in the diary of Surrey Randolph are past tense. These people and things together shape the people of today. Since you are still alive now, you should look forward."

Amber suddenly took a deep breath and spit it out again. Then she looked up and squinted at Gao Wen: "You don't really comfort people at all, do you know?"

Then, without waiting for Gaowen to open, she smiled and smiled and shook her head: "But I am a personal person...so maybe you just want to eat it."

She seemed to adjust her mood very quickly. Although it seemed to have some gaps with the state of laughing and joking on weekdays, she laughed and took some relief: "You are right, look forward, no matter Man-made people are still something else, at least I finally found this answer, and I also know the secrets that my father has concealed for so many years, which is very profitable no matter how you look."

Gao Wen glanced at the half-elf: "But there are still many mysteries on your body. Are you still looking for it?"

"Looking for it, of course, look for it," Amber slammed his head and his ears trembled slightly in the air. "The truth may be terrible, but I am even more afraid of the unknown. It’s not good to hear, even if it is going to die in the future, I have to Think of a way to die?"

"This is not like what you would normally say," Gao Wen couldn't help but say, "According to your style, it should be even if you want to die in the future. You have to find a way to escape a wave. If you live, you can live."

"So the sentence is not good, it must be impossible to run," Amber akimbo, plausible words, then she looked at the diary on the table, a look thoughtful, "and see After that, I really want to figure out something, especially the one that led me to take care of my father and lose my life..."

It caused Surrey Randolph to take the risk of losing his life.

Gao Wen certainly knows what Amber means - in order to steal a book that was collected in the Cathedral of the South, Surrey Randolph, who has been successful in hiding for decades, has taken risks and led to the extraordinary of the Holy See. Captured, the local aristocracy and the bishop jointly sentenced the death penalty.

What kind of book would it be, and it would be so attractive to Surry Randolph?

Gao Wen and Amber’s eyes all fell on Pitman: this is a secret old man, I’m afraid to know something.

"Today, don't hide any secrets," Gao Wen said. "What did Surrey Randolph want to go to church in the past? Is it really just a book?"

“It’s really just a book,” Pitman said with a smile. “It’s an ancient book that can be traced back to five or six hundred years ago. I don’t know its specific name and content, but it should be a book. Notes or rumors, its author mentions a lot of secrets and ruins scattered around the world, including a suspected shadow fortress - Sari hopes to find amber's life and find the secret behind the shadow fortress. ”

"Just for this? He took his life for this thing?" Amber squinted. "Is this thing going to make it rotten in history? Is he going to find something!"

"You are right. This is really the stupidest of all the stupid things he has done. I still scream at him in my dreams today, but we didn't expect this little thing to have him." Life," Pitman shook his head slightly. "The church that collects the book is just an ordinary regional church, but there were a few monks who came from Luan City on that day. Surrey lost his hand, not at all." Overturning the candle enshrined by the lord's simple, he was captured on the spot near the church's sacred library."

Pittman shook his head and sighed: "On that day, his good fortune is over."

Gao Wen frowned. "Is that book still in that church?"

"It is said that after that incident, the local church officials dedicated most of their books to Lu’an Cathedral to make up for their 'lack of precautions'. I don’t know if the book Sari is looking for is also Most of them are..."

After a moment of silence, Gao Wen said faintly: "Lu'an City is now an empire, a training facility for white knights."

“It used to be the headquarters of the Southern Church, where the collections were so vast,” Pittman reminded. “Books have always been a valuable asset, and the church is most keen to search for such property, especially after the decline of the Cecil family in the South. More than half of the books in the Southland in the past 100 years can be piled up in the library of Luan Cathedral."

“It’s okay, we can look for it slowly,” Gao Wen said casually. “We need to organize the collection of churches and academic facilities across the country, summarizing the knowledge of various fields. Now it’s just that we can get the books from Lu’an Cathedral first. The beginning of the pavilion - Wright said that the light of the Holy Light requires the mind and body to be equally sound. The white knights who are trained in the cathedral can't practice the heavy-duty cross-country and the wild mountains and the wild bears every day."

"But we don't know what the book looks like," Amber couldn't help but say, "I don't even know the title..."

"Then I will sort out all the notes and the slogans. In a church library with religious books and books in the superb field, there are not many ‘miscellaneous books’ that are eligible to be included.”

Both Amber and Pitman nodded and recognized Gavin’s ideas.

After thinking about it, Gao Wen said: "In addition, there may be another person who can help us answer questions about the ‘Shadow Fortress’.”

"Who?"

Pittman didn't react for a while, and asked subconsciously, but the amber next to it flashed his eyes and instantly thought of the answer: "That Ophelia?"

"If Surrey Randolph’s intelligence is correct, Shadow Fortress should be another base of disobedience, and Ophelia Norton’s rebellious fortress was just one more,” Gao Wen smiled and nodded. In the project that the ancient hiccups are responsible for... will there be a copy of amber?"

......

On the first floor of the Silver Fort, the largest ballroom, the lights are shining, and the elegant court music flutters in the air.

The great aristocrats who are eligible to enter the "inside" dinner party are walking through the magnificent castle hall. They wear the most beautiful dresses, with the most appropriate smiles, and respond with the most rich social field experience. In the annals of the banquet, but compared with the castle banquet in the past, the aristocrats who appeared in the venue today are still cautious and nervous -

The establishment of the new empire has changed everything in this country. The aristocratic system that has not changed in the past few hundred years will also be turned upside down with the signing ceremony after the banquet, although it is the old nobility who supports change and the New Deal at this moment. I have accepted the "positive progressives" of the new order, but this is an era that they have never touched before. Faced with a new social pattern and an elusive future trend, these "new imperial nobles" will inevitably bring The mentality of walking like a thin ice.

They smiled in the banquet hall, but they tightened the muscles of the whole body. They invited the dancers to dance, but every step seemed to step on the wire and the tip of the knife. They talked lightly, and actually said one word in the stomach. I brewed it ten times, and every time I listened to it, I looked at every face in the hall.

The three big executives who talked at the end of the hall were the focus of many aristocrats. The nobles passed by as close as possible to the "three-member ruling group" to try to hear some useful information, but it was not easy - if Really talking about important matters, the big executives will naturally start the sound enchantment, and if they are too unconsciously close, it will obviously lead to the dislike of the big executive, which is unacceptable for the socially experienced aristocrats.

So some of the nobles paid attention to the "little princess". The princess seemed to dislike the intimate atmosphere of the infield. Most of the time was outside, and the well-informed person heard the one. The princess is a naive and lively girl, so many people want to go close to Rebecca - but it turns out that it seems to be much more difficult than the three-man ruling.

A beautiful lady wearing a lilac court dress just returned to the inner ballroom. The lady with a frustrated look and suffering from the familiar people: "His Royal Highness asked me if I would fold the grass with leaves, then I also asked if I knew how to solve the magical interference equation. I couldn’t answer almost any question. It was really rude to the extreme."

A gentleman in a dark red dress sympathetically glanced at the lady: "The Count of Lentini, have you not tried to open the topic with the women's swordsmanship you are good at? The Royal Highness is said to be a favorite fighting skill. people."

"Oh, don't mention this!" The Countess responded particularly fiercely. "I certainly tried it. Then the Royal Highness princess pulled a sword directly from the side of the guard. Let me give her one - I wear Evening dress!"

"Ah, that was a disaster," the gentle red dress shrugged. "But you are at least lucky than the Earl of Bahrain."

"Country of Bahrain?"

Standing next to the Earl of Bahrain, his face was blue, as if he was particularly embarrassed: "I heard that Princess Royal is good at fireball spells, and I want to start a topic - she is very happy, and then made a fireball that is as big as a door... I The response is very decent."

The two kings and nobles suddenly had a common topic and sighed together, but their sighs were quickly interrupted by a nearly mournful voice: "You are all lucky than me!"

Lentini and Bahrain turned their heads at the same time. They saw a young aristocrat with a short blond hair and a sleek face standing in a crash and holding a piece of paper standing there. It seemed to be frustrated.

"Mr. Finley, you are..."

"Who told me that my Royal Highness likes mathematics? My friendship with him is over!" The young nobleman waved the paper in his hand. "I said that I am good at mathematics. My Royal Highness gave me a roll of paper! Who can tell me this? What is it?!"

......

Elegant court music flutters in the hall, joyful music is decorated with superficial joy, Veronica Moen quietly stands in an inconspicuous corner, eyes sweeping through the halls, dancing, talking The laughing crowd, like an expressionless audience, watched a scene that had been taken down by her.

But when the conversation about the retreat in front of Princess Rebecca came, the faceless audience was still up.

"Today, for them, I am afraid it is the most arduous party in my life," Veronica turned her head and smiled and said to Gao Wen and Amber who were coming to me, and Pitman walking behind them. Gently nodded and said hello, "They met the most unruly members of the royal family."

“The nobility is always used to spending too much energy in areas that are useless, so they live very tired,” Gao Wen said casually. “Of course, Rebecca’s education is also a problem.”

Veronica smiled slightly: "I really like the character of the child...somewhat like me."

"...I can't imagine it."

"Time has changed a lot of things, you should have a deep understanding of this," Veronica said. "Then, the emperor’s majesty did not show up at the banquet. Instead, he came to me and looked for the former imperial princess. What is it?"

Gao Wen opened the door: "Do you know the Shadow Fortress?"

"...I know, it was a project that I personally abandoned."
