Lord of the Continent [Western Fantasy]

After Firmia and Salinger united the front, they arranged for her to enter the palace non-stop. The old king Ken had been keeping an eye on her, so he naturally knew this, and couldn't help feeling proud.

A canary is a canary!

It has been kept in a cage for many years, as long as she is given good food and drink, and a few sweet words to coax her, the little bird is still willing to stay in the palm of his hand and be at his disposal.

Thinking about it, this daughter is not attached to the royal family, so what else can she do?

A fragile pet can only die of starvation and thirst without its owner, and has no other choice but to be obedient.

Ken was overjoyed there, but the viscount and the princess had another secret meeting before officially entering the palace.

"What? Can't you inject life elements directly and then withdraw them?" Firmia asked, frowning.

Jing also stood aside, wearing the same dress as Firmia, with a silver mask on his face, listening to Salinger's words, and fell silent.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness," Salinger said, "If you directly inject my energy into His Majesty the King, it will be very difficult to take it back."

"The transmission of energy is not two-way, and it is easy to accept, but it is retrogradely extracted from a mortal body. This is a dark witchcraft. Forgive me for not being able to do it now. The black magic is strictly controlled in the association. Because of the lessons learned, all mages It is forbidden to contact or practice any dark spells, otherwise you will be sentenced to death."

Seeing the two princesses standing in front of him, Salinger couldn't help feeling the wonder of the world.

Dual personality is not within the scope of magic at all, and he just occasionally glimpsed it from ancient books. The formation of the secondary personality comes from the splitting of the soul of the main personality, and the cause is the stress response of the main personality to self-protection.

But Jing is not a sub-personality in the traditional sense. She not only has a body, but also has an independent soul. She and Firmia are like two people. The former is ruthless, while the latter is a little weak.

"Master Viscount," Jing said in a deep voice, "Since this method doesn't work, I think you must have been thinking about it for so many days. Have you already found a solution?"

"That's natural." Salinger laughed. "I think of a more detailed plan, and I am fully sure that we can achieve our goals."

"I would like to hear more about it." Jing and Firmia said in unison.

"In the Eternal Forest, the holy land of the elves, there is a plant called moonlight flower." Salinger said, "This flower itself has a strong life energy, it only blooms every full moon night, and withers when the next full moon is full."

"Before this, my teacher and I got a few moonlight flower seeds by chance and successfully cultivated them. We wanted to use their energy to heal people who were seriously ill. Now it seems that we can use the special attributes of moonlight flowers."

"Forgive me, I still don't quite understand." Jing asked, "Since it can cure diseases, if the extracted energy is injected into the king's body, wouldn't it help him rejuvenate? How should we proceed?"

Salinger explained: "When the moonlight flower withers, its energy will also disappear. Therefore, His Majesty's youthful state can only last for one month. If you want to continue, you must have a new supply of moonlight flowers."

"Isn't that contradicting what you said?" Firmia grasped the key point, puzzled and said, "Since it's only temporarily effective, how can it cure a seriously ill person?"

"This is not contradictory, Your Highness." Salinger said, "Once the patient is infused with the energy of the moonlight flower, the stubborn disease will disappear immediately, so even if the flower withers next month, it will no longer affect his body, but the situation of His Majesty It is not the same, he needs a steady stream of life elements to resist birth, old age, sickness and death in nature."

Firmia asked again: "Then if my lord father plants moonlight flowers by himself and finds a way to drain the energy, wouldn't we be stealing the chicken instead of losing the rice?"

"It's impossible, Your Highness." Salinger said, "I can assure you that the energy of the Moonlight Flower can be extracted and used by others in the entire West Fantasy Continent, and there will be no other person except me class, because the whole process must require the caster to have the element of life."

"So I understand," Firmia said, "This plan looks perfect, but Moonlight Peanut is born in the Eternal Forest, and humans have no contact with the elves. I heard that they hardly communicate with the outside world. I don't know about this problem. How will Lord Viscount solve it?"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness," Salinger said, "I have been obsessed with elf culture since I was a child, and I also understand their language and etiquette. At that time, I will personally go through the teleportation array and go to the eternal forest to try my best to communicate with the elves. Make a deal in exchange for Moonlight Flower Seeds."

"How sure are you?" Mirror asked.

Salinger thought for a while and replied: "More than [-]%, I have a hunch that the elves will not refuse. All in all, I will try my best."

Jing: "Okay, then I will leave this matter to Lord Viscount."

"One thing needs to be added," Salinger emphasized: "If everything goes well, then I will inject the moonlight flower energy into His Majesty when the moon is full this month, and he will be beaten back to his original form next month. , Your Highnesses have at most one and a half months to plan, otherwise once the energy dissipates, we will be easily exposed."

"Understood, Lord Viscount." Jing nodded and said, "You don't need to call me Your Highness, just call me Jing. There is only one Princess of Italy, and that is the Duchess of Firmia, who is also this The future queen of the country."

"Jing, don't talk nonsense in front of the Viscount." Firmia said angrily, "When did I say that I want to be a queen? I just want to overthrow the fatuous father and implement reforms."

"Okay," Jing smiled, caressed Firmia's cheek, and said softly, "It's my fault, Your Highness the Princess."

Salinger: "..."

Salinger was dumbfounded, and it was only at this moment that he dullly realized that the relationship between Firmia and the mirror was not simple.

As soon as he thought that the two girls liked each other, and they were still one body, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he felt bad.

Fortunately, he devoted himself to practicing Dharma and was not very sensitive to love and love, so he had to pretend that he didn't know anything and didn't want to gossip about such extremely private things.

A few days later, Salinger was appointed by Ken, and officially stationed in the Itenet Palace as the chief royal master of the royal family, and was personally received by the king.

The moment he saw Salinger, the restless heart of the old king Ken was finally at ease.

He was worried that the so-called wood mage was just being boasted too much by the Magic Association.

An ordinary young viscount, who did not cultivate since he was a child, and occasionally obtained the energy of the life element wood, if it is just a fake, but it is not a fart, what should we do?

But the young man in front of him did look different.

He was well dressed, elegantly behaved, and handsome in appearance, especially those clear and bright blue eyes, which revealed an indescribable tranquility and distance.

This wood mage exudes divinity all over his body. The old king Ken has been exposed to the Holy Light Healing Technique all year round, and he only feels that the other party has similar energy, or even better, which will definitely restore him to his original state and never die.

Thinking of this, Ken couldn't help but show respect, and said politely: "Your Majesty Viscount looks extraordinary, it is really a great fortune in life for me to have your help!"

"Your Majesty is serious." Salinger said modestly, "It is an honor to serve His Majesty the King."

Ken nodded in satisfaction. Next, Salinger told him how to use the energy of the moonlight flower to obtain eternal youth. After listening, the old king fell into deep thought.

After a while, he asked: "Does this flower really have such a miraculous function? It won't expire after time has passed, right?"

Firmia was by her side, her heart skipped a beat when she heard the words, she didn't expect Ken to think of this, it seems that the old man is not without brains, and immediately sweated for Salinger.

Salinger said unhurriedly: "Of course it won't fail, please rest assured Your Majesty, but eternal life cannot be obtained so easily, and His Majesty still needs to cooperate."

"Well...how should we cooperate?" Ken asked.

Salinger said: "The first choice is that Your Majesty must get rid of distracting thoughts and try not to be disturbed by trivial matters in the world. Therefore, if you can not participate in the government affairs of the imperial court, you should participate less."

"That's easy to say." Ken said casually. He had ignored the government for many years, and the ministers took care of the trivial matters. The Illuminati Church can give an overview of the reasons for power.

"I can ask Prince Pullence to do it for me," Ken said. "He is my heir. It is also a good thing to get involved in the government earlier."

"Your Majesty the King," Firmia interjected in time, and said sincerely, "I am always a member of the royal family. If the imperial brother is too busy alone, my daughter is willing to share your worries."

Ken glanced at Firmia, thinking what can you do with a bird in a cage?However, it is all due to this daughter who persuaded Salinger to enter the palace to serve him. It is not a bad idea to give her a taste of sweetness and let her participate in handling some chores.

"You are my good daughter." Ken said hypocritically, "Then I will allow you to assist your brother as the only duchess."

Firmia hummed obediently, and Ken ignored her, and said to Salinger, "Master Viscount, what else do you need from me, let's talk about it together."

"One more thing is also very important." Salinger said seriously, "Your Majesty, you must abstain from meat and sex. From now on, you must eat lightly, and you can no longer be as big as you used to be. At the same time, you can no longer follow the harem." The princesses are near."

"Uh……"

Ken hesitated for a short while, and asked in confusion: "Does it need to be so troublesome? Women can't touch it anymore?"

The other requirements are okay, but they are not close to women, which makes Ken embarrassing.

Although Ken was not doing business in the past, he had never been too drunk and indulgent. Relying on the blessing of the Holy Light, he ate wildly all day long, fought with the beauties in the harem, and played songs every night. Cool, so when I heard Salinger's words, I suddenly felt that life was boring.

"Your Majesty!" Salinger said earnestly, "It is a difficult road to seek eternal life. From the beginning to the present, countless gods have been born and fallen. Which one of them has not survived hardships and tribulations, and has survived until now? If the gods are like this, what is the matter? What about me and other mere mortals?"

"Your Majesty, as long as you can persevere and have my magical power to protect you, you will surely succeed in time. If you are lucky, you may still have a place among the gods. Then all the sacrifices will be worth it."

Hearing the last words, the old king couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Abandoning the mortal body and becoming a god, he has never thought about it, but it is a fool's dream, but according to the words of this mage, it seems that it is not impossible, so thinking about it is very exciting.

Ken thought for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, and said solemnly: "Then it's settled, and I will follow your instructions, Viscount, as promised."
