Vol 3 Chapter 456: .Ice and Fire
The meeting room of the Black Swan Castle was interrupted by Sean due to the arrival of Rilitha and others, and reconvened after an interval of thirty minutes.
There is one more person in attendance compared to thirty minutes ago.
Angel, also from the Millennium Covenant Empire.
"To facilitate communication, please allow me to introduce it first."
This meeting room is the regular meeting room of the Black Swan Castle. It is arranged in the middle of the room with a long oval table, surrounded by a total of 16 seats-although this meeting room has never been full since it opened. The decoration in the room is made by Cecilia and Hela. The high-class style of these two people is far more than the sum of all the people in the entire void duchy. Therefore, this meeting room looks luxurious and elegant, but at the same time. Without the slightest tackiness.
Cecilia, William, Rena, Alfred, Clover and other five people are located on the side of the conference room against the inner wall, facing the door of the conference room. And Hasas, Moro, and Angel took their seats with their backs to the side of the gate.
At this time, it was Hasas Zoanton who got up from his seat.
He stretched out his hand to lead to Angel, who was sitting on his left side about two chairs away from him, and then smiled-although there was a bit of helplessness and embarrassment in his eyes, but considering Angel’s reputation in the empire, Hasas really There is no way to say anything-saying: "This is Angel."
The expressions of Cecilia and William suddenly changed, and Dang Even turned to look at Angel.
And Angel, at this time, she also retracted her gaze from a portrait in the conference room at this time, turned to Cecilia and William, and nodded slightly to show her compliments.
If an ordinary person makes such a behavior, it will undoubtedly be regarded as extremely impolite behavior.
Especially today's Void Duchy, but it is not like a duchy at all. Even if the envoys of the Kingdom of Lane and the nobles above the marquis see Cecilia or the Void Big Three, they dare not put on such a high-profile appearance. But Angel's movement and demeanor. But it didn't make Cecilia and William feel disgusted or impolite, but was a little surprised at her nod.
In fact, even Hassas was a little surprised when he saw Angel nodding in greeting.
Because in the aristocratic circle of the Millennium Covenant Empire. Everyone knows that Angel is a famous true color. She expresses her likes and dislikes in a straightforward way. Basically, it is a very high standard treatment to make her nod. As for smiling face-some people say that Angel’s facial nerves have long been necrotic, so she will not laugh at all, although this seems to be a bit extreme, but it has never been There was no news that she had smiled at anyone.
Cecilia and William knew the name Angel, because after knowing that it was possible to go to war with the Millennium Covenant Empire, she tried her best to collect all the information about the strong, quasi-strong, and outstanding generals of the Millennium Covenant Empire. intelligence. Of course, it also includes the various geniuses of the Millennium Covenant Empire that have become famous today and those future powerhouses who have been crowned with the expectation of ‘genius’.
have to say. On the Continent of Miracles, there are indeed some geniuses who are godlike geniuses who can become representatives and symbols of a country.
Compared to the traditional "geniuses", these characters are the ones who truly stand at the top ranks of Miracle Continent. The definition of this standard must at least have the level and potential to impact the super power-because only the super power can stand at the top of the world and be able to ignore the army’s siege. It can even achieve a life that is close to the heavens and the earth.
So, commanders such as William and Hela who are rare in the world. After all, it still cannot be included in this definition. Even if their value is for a country. It is far more important than one or two super powers.
Like Cecilia, if it wasn't for the coup in the Duchy of Rumbel that caused her to live in another country, then Cecilia could also become a representative figure of the Duchy of Rumbel. But now, she has also become a representative genius of the Void Principality-just a change of national identity, but Cecilia's criteria for being listed as a god-level genius has not changed because of this.
And Angel, is able to become the representative genius of the Millennium Covenant Empire-although in terms of potential level, Angel and Cecilia are at the same level. Only one is an empire and the other is a principality, so in terms of a certain aspect of symbolism, most people will only think that Angel's level is higher than that of Cecilia.
"These are..." Hasas quickly condensed his mind, then stretched out his hand to guide Cecilia, and said.
"I know them."
However, Angel interrupted Hasas without any kind of politeness. This kind of rude thing seemed extraordinarily normal and natural to Angel. There was no sense of abruptness at all, and it didn't even make people feel that there was anything in it. It wasn't right, so that Hashas could only give a bitter smile, and then sat back on the chair.
"Cecilia Connery, the sister of Grand Duke Void Sean Connery, a genius magister, politician, and diplomat, is the backbone of the Duke of Void after Duke Sean. When Duke Shaun was out , Responsible for acting as the Grand Duke’s agent, has a very high influence in the Void Principality." Angel looked at Cecilia, and then introduced like a few treasures, which is obviously much more thorough than ordinary people’s understanding of Cecilia. , "...Still a beauty."
When she said the last sentence, Angel stared at Cecilia very carefully, but she seemed to be reluctant to admit it in her tone.
Only in terms of appearance, Cecilia is slightly better than Angel.
But in terms of her body, Angel's eyes fell on Cecilia's chest-I don't know why, Cecilia suddenly felt that this gaze made her a little uncomfortable.
However, Angel has turned her gaze to William: "William Yale, the commander of the void, was abandoned by Yale at the Battle of Poquilia, and then the traitor left the empire. When he appeared again, he was already a follower of Grand Duke Sean. , Assisting Sean in handling the military affairs of the Void Duchy. The current military commander of the Void Duchy is in charge of the military affairs of the Void Duchy. It is also called Void with Void Strategy Officer Hela Garcia and Void Interior Officer Neil Patrick Harris. Big Three."
William's eyes narrowed slightly, which seemed a bit dangerous.
This kind of introduction, like a treasure, made him a little uncomfortable and natural, as if he was standing naked in front of this woman. On Angel's body. William saw the oppressive breath that made him very familiar, and this breath usually only appeared in one type of person.
"Are you a general?" William asked in a deep voice.
"It seems that the intelligence capabilities of the Void Principality are slightly worse than I expected." Angel said unceremoniously.
This sentence makes the faces of William and Cecilia, as well as Rena, Alfred, Clough and others look very ugly. But compared to Rina and the others, although William and Cecilia's faces are not good-looking, they are not too angry. Because they are very clear. The Void Realm is still too young, and the opponent is the Millennium Covenant Empire. It is not impossible to collect Angel’s intelligence carefully, but at least it can’t be done in a short time-of course, William and Cecilia I never thought that I would meet Angel so early.
"Then, please allow me to introduce myself again." Angel stood up from the chair-she was not really ignorant of etiquette. It just feels unnecessary in many cases. But in front of someone worthy of her respect, she can still show her graceful side, "I am Angel, Angel Hillary."
William’s pupils shrank suddenly, this time his reaction was much stronger than when he heard the three words "Angel" before.
Angel glanced at William. After she said her name, she paused for two seconds. Seeing that William did not mean to speak, there was a hint of inexplicable complexity in her eyes—of course it was just one. It's just an instant. Then he said: "I am the founder and first commander of the Frost Legion. Although I am no longer the commander of the Frost Legion, this legion is still under my control."
This time. The irritation on Rina's face also disappeared, replaced by a serious and serious look.
She did not know the name Angel, nor did she know the meaning of Angel's full name, but she never knew the meaning of the words "founder of the Frost Legion"-especially after she became the eighth After the Valkyrie.
The Valkyrie Angel of Frost, among the eight Valkyries today, ranks first in personal strength and third in command ability, and ranks thirteenth on the list, second only to the Valkyrie of Thunder. Asuna G. Evans.
This is how Rina understood the words "founder of the Frost Legion".
It’s just that she hadn’t understood the meaning of the two words "angel" for a long time, until today, she finally understood.
The so-called angel refers to "Angel".
But looking at Angel’s appearance, it was obvious that she didn’t care too much about her identity as the Valkyrie. In fact, not many people care about the name of this Valkyrie—at least, Rena and Asuna also don't care about such a false name. But since it can claim to be ranked first in personal strength among the eight Valkyries, and third in command ability, then this Angel is indeed worthy of Rina's serious treatment.
Of course, it deserves to be taken seriously, it does not mean that Rena agrees with this ranking.
In terms of command ability, Rena knew that this was her weakness, and she couldn't say anything.
But in terms of personal strength, even though Angel had already possessed the strength of the upper sanctuary at a young age, Rena did not think that her situation in Longhua would be inferior to her opponent. Especially after nearly a year of hard training, Rina has become more and more comfortable with her own dragon transformation control ability, and the improvement of her personality has greatly strengthened her combat ability in many aspects.
Alfred and Clover's expressions are normal, but the gazes looking at Angel have become a little different.
No one knows why the actual controller of the Frost Legion appeared here.
The atmosphere in the conference room has become a little more subtle.
Even Hasas, who was the referrer, remained quite silent at this time, and did not speak casually, so as not to attract unnecessary hatred and trouble to himself.
"What I am more curious about..." When the atmosphere of the meeting room became more and more weird, William finally broke the silence: "I don't know why the Royal Princess of the Millennium Covenant came to the Void Principality this time. ?"
"your Highness!?"
"Princess?"
"She is the royal princess of the Millennium Covenant Empire!?"
William’s silence-breaking thunder was almost like a bolt from a blue sky, and it roared loudly in an instant. Everyone, including Cecilia, was stunned in an instant, because they didn't expect it. Angel's background is so exaggerated, she is the royal princess of the Millennium Covenant Empire!
"Hill Ruili, is the name of the queen of the last emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire." William looked at Angel, and then said in a deep voice, "But Her Royal Highness passed away 21 years ago. So the Millennium Covenant Empire now knows. There are not many people with this name.... The current emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire. This is the brother of the Princess Angel, the blood brothers and sisters of the same father and mother in front of us."
The Military Affairs Department of the Millennium Covenant Empire was not the idea of the Frost Legion that hadn’t beaten Angel, and there were even people who took the idea to Angel’s head. But it has been slow to pull Angel into the Imperial Army, and even the command of the Frost Legion could not be obtained, because Angel is the sister of the current Emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire—they are both born of Queen Hillary. And when the current emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire killed his brother and murdered his father, Angel was only seven or eight years old.
But at that time, she had already demonstrated extraordinary intelligence and natural ability. And she was also in the **** case of the imperial coup of the Millennium Covenant Empire. The only survivor of royal blood-other brothers and sisters who also have royal blood. Almost all have died in that **** murder. No one knows why the tyrant didn't have Angel, perhaps because they were both born of the same mother, but since then, Angel's face has no longer smiled, and his behavior has become domineering.
After , Angel formed the Frost Legion when she was twelve years old.
But at the beginning, the formation of this legion required expenses. All were paid by Angel’s mentor. After that, this corps spent four years with Angel, and during these four years Angel had learned from more than a dozen teachers. Try to learn everything related to the legion and war as much as possible. Four years later, at the age of sixteen, Angel led the Frost Legion to go north for the first time, using superb marching skills to suppress a rebellion in the northern part of the empire in just one and a half months.
That was Angel’s first lead, and her first victory, and it was also an extremely brilliant victory record. It was from this moment that Angel and her Frost Legion began a series of cheating-like wars. In the next seven years, Angel commanded more than two hundred battles, all without exception. Two of the victories can only be regarded as tragic victories.
The only reason for the two disastrous victories is that her opponents are the famous old generals and legions of the empire. This kind of unequal war qualifications and experience, even if Angel loses, no one will say anything, but she has won—it is also at this time that the Imperial Army will focus on this army. But what is helpless is that Angel has an elder brother who is the emperor of the empire, so anyone who dares to hit Angel on his body will end up very bleak.
Even if, at Angel’s 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, the princess announced that she would change her surname to Hillary, and put on an attitude of breaking away from the imperial emperor, still no one dared to hit Angel’s mind. The reason is still that those who dare to hit Angel's body will end up very bleak-it is lucky to be able to escape from officialdom alive, and most people are killed directly.
It is precisely because of this that a very weird side of the empire has been created: it is clear that Angel has put an attitude of leaving the royal family, but she still lives in the palace, and occasionally participates in some noble banquets. The Frost Legion also exists like a shadow legion. The Imperial Legion has no record of this legion. Only the real big figures in the imperial noble circle and the future overtime talents of the family know the existence of such a legion.
"I am me, my elder brother is my elder brother, please don't confuse us." Angel said lightly, "this time I come to the Void Principality, it is my own will and action, which only represents myself." At this point, Angel slightly After a pause, he continued, "I brought you a piece of information that is of great interest to you, about Reyce."
Hearing Angel's words, William's eyes became unusually sharp, and the fierce aura of a battle-master on his body burst out suddenly.
This is the first time that Hasas felt the breath of the seemingly gentle and weak William. At this moment, he actually had the illusion of breathing tension and heart palpitations. And Moruo next to him also showed a little surprise on his face. He also didn't expect this general without personal martial skills. There is such a strong and brutal killing intent, what kind of cruel and **** war has to be experienced in order to cultivate such awe-inspiring aura.
The only thing to be indifferent is Angel.
She didn't care at all about William staring at her gaze, let alone the murderous aura. Among the people present. I am afraid that only Rena, who is in her heyday, can change Angel's color. As for other people, even Cecilia might not be able to threaten Angel—at least the power gap is clearly defined. Even if Angel can’t beat Cecilia, Cecilia has nothing to do with Angel.
"I believe Miss Angel is not here to do good deeds." It was Cecilia who broke this confrontational atmosphere.
Angel glanced at Cecilia, and then said softly: "My subordinates accidentally picked up this news. I found it very interesting, so I learned a little bit. It turned out that your Void Principality was investigating.... You can. Don't worry. Since I will come here, it proves that I have done a very in-depth investigation and understanding of this information, and the answer will definitely satisfy you.... As for whether to do good deeds, it depends on how you understand it."
"What do you say?" Cecilia asked.
"I can give you information for free, and even I can help you in this matter." Angel continued, "My only request is to meet with Void Grand Duke Sean Connery."
Everyone's brows frowned slightly, some of them couldn't figure out what Angel wanted to do.
Cecilia and William looked at each other. Or William let go of the hostility, and then said: "May I ask. What do you want to see Sean for?"
"Yes." Angel nodded, her expression particularly calm, and then said in a natural tone: "I want to marry Grand Duke Sean Connery."
"click."
A crisp cracking sound resounded abruptly in the meeting room.
The tip of the black swan quill in Cecilia's hand was snapped instantly, and the black ink on the tip was sprinkled directly on the recording paper, staining a small piece of black.
The atmosphere in the meeting room became weird for the second time.
William, Alfred, and Clover looked at Cecilia in unison, while Rena looked unclear about the situation—perhaps for Rena, the one she was loyal to. It's a good thing that the Grand Duke finally has an object!
Angel raised her brows slightly, and her eyes fell on Cecilia.
"Do you think Sean will marry you just by seeing you?" Cecilia sneered and raised her head to stare at Angel coldly.
"Why not?" Angel's tone was still taken for granted, "Abandoning the background and power, just talking about strength, I am now a high-level sanctuary, and it will be a matter of time before I step into the legend. In terms of talent, I also think that I am not inferior to anyone. People. In terms of potential, my bloodline is the Arctic Ice Shark of the holy beast species, and it has now entered the third stage. In terms of background, I have the Frost Legion, with a regular establishment of 10,000 people, and a reserve training camp of 30,000 people. There are 20,000 logistics troops. In terms of talents, the three major systems of military, politics, and economics are my areas of expertise, and there is no obvious shortcoming. In terms of appearance, even if I look at the entire miracle continent, I can definitely be regarded as the top rank. In terms of body shape, I am. Normal development also has no shortcomings. In terms of temperament, insights, and conversation, do you think I need to explain it? ... No matter what, I am a perfect candidate. Apart from me, do you think Is there anyone who can be worthy of Sean?"
"You think it's worth it, do you deserve it?" Cecilia's attitude was much colder than before.
"Then you say who else is more suitable to be Sean's wife than me?" Angel was not annoyed, and still said with a calm face, "The offspring of my union with him is definitely the first genius. Because of the miracle continent. Come on, no one is worthy of Sean except me."
"Haha." Cecilia grinned in anger. She stretched out her hand and swept her hair gently, "You know Sean at all."
"I know very well." Angel said again, "If I don't know, I won't be here.... Sean Connery, the first time I appeared five years ago, Asuna G. Evans’ pioneering knights entered the Pandan collar in the name, and successively challenged the family of the Duke of Darbion, including the Boulder, Nucus and other families. After that, he and the Hastings triggered conflicts and evolved wars, and was exceptionally promoted to a baron. Then he served as the commander of the southern battlefield in the war against the Darbion Kingdom. After winning the war, he marched to the southeast battlefield to support Asuna. This accelerated the demise of the Darbion Kingdom. After the war, he became the Duke of the Kingdom of Ryan. However, he was attacked by the Demon God during the Martial Arts Festival, and when he returned to his territory, he was ambushed by a coalition of many nobles. Then, in order to calm the anger, the Kingdom of Lane carried out an exceptional internal reorganization of the kingdom, allowing Shaun to form a duchy, and since then, the Void Duchy was established. . Do I need to talk about the next thing?"
"What you know is only the surface." Cecilia heard that someone actually had investigated and understood all of Sean's deeds. Obviously a little uncomfortable.
"I'm not familiar with Grand Duke Sean. I haven't met so far, so naturally the only things I can understand are this." Angel's face was taken for granted, and the tone and attitude that I was talking about were facts and truths. , It’s almost like adding firewood to the fire of Cecilia, "I don’t know anything else, but I don’t need to know, but Grand Duke Sean Connery appeared in Lane for the first time. So far, in just five years, I have grown from the lower bronze to the lower sanctuary. This growth rate and potential. I haven't seen it in the second person."
"You said you want to marry Sean because of this so-called potential?" Cecilia's voice involuntarily raised a few degrees, and even a bit murderous.
"Yes." Angel is still not afraid of death, adding fire, "If it weren't for this potential, I wouldn't have to travel here to find Sean, would I?"
"It sounds like you can marry Sean if you meet him. What if you really marry? Sean doesn't necessarily like you."
"Married to me, Sean didn't have any loss, didn't he?" Angel looked at Cecilia, and said after a moment, "And even if he doesn't like it, it's only now. After all, I haven't met him yet. It’s normal not to like faces.... But if our children are born, I believe that Sean will not be indifferent. Feelings can be cultivated slowly in the future. I don’t mind Mr. children."
"Giving...giving...giving a child!?" Cecilia suddenly slapped the table, and then she stood up, her face flushed, "You... how can you... say... Say these shameless words in front of so many people!"
"Didn't you ask me?" Angel still took it for granted, of course, there was some confusion in her eyes, "I was just answering your question."
"I..." At this moment, Cecilia suddenly had a poor word, "William, can I trouble you to leave first?"
William and the others looked at each other, then got up and left the seat. Hasas and Moro moved slightly faster than William and the others. When he heard Cecilia’s words, he had already got up and Moro left the meeting room, followed by Alfred and Klow. husband. William was the last to leave, because he found that Rena was still sitting in a chair after he walked to the door, so he hurried back to drag her away.
Soon, Angel and Cecilia were left in the conference room.
At this time, Cecilia looked at Angel’s gaze and looked unusually indifferent. The temperature in the room suddenly rose a bit, and a lot of magic power began to fill the room, especially the fire element became extremely active. However, Angel is also not weak in this respect. A cold chill came out of Angel’s body, and then spread quickly along the meeting room. There was a faint burning sound in the air, but the sound was more like the sound of flames being extinguished and ice cubes being melted. .
In an instant, a polarized temperature distribution appeared in the conference room.
In the space on the side of Cecilia, the temperature easily broke through forty degrees, and even as it approached fifty degrees, plumes of black smoke appeared on the tables and chairs, as if they were about to be ignited. And where Angel was, the temperature dropped below ten degrees, approaching the sub-zero temperature. Similarly, tables, chairs, and various decorations in the room began to be covered with a layer of white frost.
But there is one place where both the high temperature of Cecilia and the low temperature of Angel are avoided.
This place is a portrait that Angel has been staring at after entering the meeting room.
The character in this portrait is Sean, with him on the edge of the Black Swan Lake in the background, showing a bright smile.
The two in confrontation. It seems that no one can completely suppress the other party, so after a long confrontation, Angel suddenly said: "You like Sean Connery, right?"
"What if it is, so what if it is not." Cecilia confronted each other.
"Do you like your brother's abnormal love?" Angel showed thoughtfulness. Then he spoke. "Although I have heard that many nobles like to do this, this is the first time I have seen a real person.... But, are you sure that Sean will like your sister?"
"Hehe." Cecilia sneered, "Then, please allow me to introduce myself again.... I am Cecilia Rembel, not Cecilia Connery."
"So that's the case." Angel suddenly showed a sudden sense of enlightenment, "My brother has been looking for the subjugated princess Rembel with the Phoenix blood. It's you.... But. Even if you are Cecilia Rembel, what about? The outside world only knows that you are Cecilia Connery and Sean Connery’s sister, so you are destined to never stand in front of the stage."
Angel’s words seemed to have caused severe damage to Cecilia. At this moment, her momentum was instantly weakened, and the whole person seemed extraordinarily lonely. However, Angel did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, or cause any actual damage to Cecilia. Because according to her intelligence investigation, Sean cares about Cecilia very much. If Cecilia was hurt, it would be totally inconsistent with her purpose of coming to get Sean to marry.
Originally, Angel intended to achieve the goal of attacking Sean by getting Cecilia first. Because Sean cares about Cecilia very much, so if Cecilia can be liked, then it is much easier for Angel to get in touch with Sean. But in the conversation just now, Angel discovered that it was impossible to approach Sean through Cecilia. At first she thought it was a deformed brother-sister relationship, but now it turns out that she thinks too much.
"Sean still doesn't know what you like about him, right?" Angel thought for a while, and once again made a knowing blow.
Cecilia's expression became more sad and lonely.
"It seems that Grand Duke Sean is relatively slow in feelings." Angel frowned, and she suddenly felt that things seemed more difficult than she thought.
"Yes, that's a piece of wood." Cecilia sat down on the chair, the sad look on her small face showed a pitiful look, enough to make any man crazy.
Angel's brow furrowed deeper, because she found that things were not generally tricky, but probably impossible to start.
She has always been very confident about her appearance. As she herself said, even if you look at the entire Marvel Continent, she can enter the ranks of top beauties. However, Cecilia is slightly better than Angel in appearance. Judging from Sean's long-term contact with Cecilia, it is obvious that he has a considerable degree of resistance to beauty, which makes Angel Can't handle Sean with a beauty trick.
"Oh." The two women sighed at the same time.
But the next moment, after looking at each other, they both looked at each other at the same time and it was not pleasing to the eye.
Cecilia was not pleasing to the eyes of Angel, because Angel was the first woman to show a strong interest in Sean, not only that she would marry Sean, but also openly said that she would give Sean a child. From Cecilia's point of view, this is simply unpredictable, and he is the most slutty representative of the aristocracy.
Angel doesn’t like Cecilia because Cecilia is more attractive than her, and Sean has been with her for so long, so how could she still feel amazing to other women. So many of Angel’s plans are destined to fail to be implemented. In other words, Angel’s preliminary work is wasted.
"Huh." The two women snorted at the same time.
"It is absolutely impossible for you to see Sean." Cecilia said coldly.
"Why, I'm afraid that after I meet Sean, Sean will fall in love with me incorrigibly?" Angel is still in that flat appearance, and her tone is naturally the natural tone that upsets Cecilia." But I can also understand. After all, your **** are so small that people who don’t know think you are a minor, and you really don’t have any competitiveness or comparison with me.... By the way, are you twelve years old this year?"
Cecilia's face looked abnormally annoyed, but when he opened his mouth to fight back, his head appeared blank at this moment, as if he had completely lost his language ability.
She stared at Angel’s rather large breasts, biting her lower lip, and squeezing her fists tightly. After a while, she shouted: "Do you think your **** are big? Elizabeth, Asuna, and even Even Rina, they are all older than you!"
"But they never thought about marrying Sean." Angel said lightly.
"..." Cecilia was speechless. (To be continued~^~)
PS: I thought about several titles, such as "Girls and Women", "A Song of Ice and Fire", etc., and then I finally rejected them all by myself. Today is the last day of the month, let’s be a welfare, three-in-one, 9K+ chapter, don’t say I have no outbreak.
