Chapter 660 Confession 2


Mariana was stunned for a moment.

After a long time, she said: "Okay, my child. Now that you know it, what do you think about it?"

"Do you want to listen to the truth?"

“Of course!”

Paul shrugged, “Incredible, or rather... absurd!”

"Absurd?" Mariana frowned and said displeasedly: "Is this how you view the career that your mother fought for?"

"Don't you think..." Paul said with some humor. : "Is the so-called myth of the war between humans and demons just a dispute between primitive tribes in the ancient times of ignorance?"

"As for those mysterious celestial phenomena, they are just coincidences, or...as long as they are far-fetched enough, anything in the world can There is a connection between the two things. "

"Or... this is just an excuse, an excuse to let the spell caster come to the sun."

Mariana smiled. Laughing, "Why, isn't this bad? If the spell caster can stand in the sun without any scruples, our family will not be like this."

"Well, of course that's good." Paul agreed with her statement, "But I think to achieve this goal, we need to make spellcasters ordinary, let them integrate with ordinary people, and make magic become a kind of skill like writing, martial arts or even shoe repair. , ordinary skills like sewing, but the method of the secret law seems to make the casters specialize, which is going from one extreme to the other."

Paul's words made Mariana a little angry for a moment. , Paul actually compared great magic with the craftsmanship of ordinary people, which is simply blasphemy.

But she calmed down quickly and quickly found the reason for her son.

Poor child, he must feel aggrieved. They were all born to the same mother, but his younger brother showed extraordinary magical talent and was taken by his mother, but he did not have this talent. stayed.

Yes, his son must have said this because he was wronged. Maybe he has a little jealousy in his heart?

As a mother, I must understand him, poor child.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Her son’s question brought Mariana back to her senses.

She couldn't help but reached out and held her son's hand, and said with some pity: "Poor child."

Paul:? ? ?

Mariana was about to say some comforting words, but suddenly thought of what to do if her son's self-esteem was hurt.

So she decided to change the subject.

"Paul, I want to ask you for something."

"You said."

Mariana said: "This world may change in the next period of time. It will become chaotic, but the Northwest Bay is a pure land. It has always been unknown in Aldo's political map. If the Secret Order can really reach out here, I think... I can save the Northwest Bay. Don't be disturbed by the outside world, so you should not actively interfere in external affairs, live here quietly, and continue the bloodline of the Graiman family."

Paul smiled and said, "I understand what you mean."

But it was simply impossible. With the development of the economy, the Northwest Bay was becoming more and more closely connected with other parts of the kingdom.

He was thinking about how to explain to his mother when Mariana said first: "The orc army is about to enter Aldo. If the royal family orders you to send troops, you must find an excuse..."
< br>"What did you say?"

Paul jumped up from his seat, his face full of shock.

Mariana also became serious, "I can't tell you the specific details, but the orc army will arrive soon. This is certain. But don't worry, as long as you stay in the northwest bay, nothing will happen. .”

Paul forced himself to calm down first.

“Ah, this is really unbelievable news, my dear mother, it is hard to imagine that the impregnable Watcher Fortress cannot stop the orcs. It has already reached the entrance to the bottom of the Gabela Valley. It has stood for nearly a thousand years. "The orcs have other ways. Anyway, they will enter the northeast of the kingdom."

In front of her son, Mariana was not so wary and mentioned it casually. One sentence.

Paul's brain was running at high speed.

Other way, sea? Absolutely impossible! That's...

The Rockies?

Is there a secret passage inside that is unknown to the world?

Also, the mother knows about this, that is, the Arcana Society knows about it. Is the invasion of the orcs related to the Arcana Society and Gabeira?

He immediately thought of the rebellion in the south. According to Dessen, it was also secretly promoted by the Secret Society. Perhaps they wanted to plunge the north of Gabela into chaos.

Ultimately serve the Arcana Society's goal of integrating human forces across the continent.

Paul smiled and said: "Thank you for the reminder, mother. I don't want you to do anything difficult, but can you tell me how fast the so-called "soon" will be? Half a year? Or A year?”

Mariana pondered for a moment, “I estimate it will be no more than a quarter from now on.”

It’s not too late!

Paul looked at the grandfather clock, "I suddenly remembered that I still have some very important things to deal with. How about we come here today? I know that you have been traveling, maybe you need to rest."
< br>Marianna hesitated, "But I still want to stay with you for a while. I'm very sorry, my child, I...can't stay here for a long time."

Paul showed a regretful expression, "But It should be okay to stay for a few days, right?”

“A few days is okay!” A sense of indebtedness prompted Mariana to answer.

Paul then smiled and said, "I will come to visit and accompany you every day. You don't have to worry... about my brother, Philip will make arrangements for him. Goodbye!"

After saying that, he turned around and left the study without waiting for the other party's consent.

Listening to the rapid footsteps of Paul leaving in a hurry, Mariana felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Paul, who was running in a hurry, felt even more uneasy.

Although the world today has the concepts of country and nation, they are all very objective descriptions and have not yet been given a sacred color in the spiritual realm.

But it is different for Paul who integrates his past life knowledge and his current identity. Country and nation are of great significance to him.

Perhaps other lords could just sit back and watch what happened outside their territory, but Paul found it difficult to accept this, especially when he still had some abilities.

The rebellion in the south is, after all, an internal conflict within Aldo.

But the orcs on the grassland are different.

Paul found several attendants, "I need all the department heads of the Government Affairs Council and military officers at the battalion level and above to come to the lord's mansion for a meeting."

Seeing the anxious look on the lord's face, The attendants rushed to deliver the message.

Two more were left behind.

Paul told them: "I need to write two letters immediately, one to Jingyao and one to Watcher Fortress."
