"Uncle? Uncle, why aren't you talking again? Uncle, are you distracted again?"
Gawain's wandering was interrupted by a crisp voice coming from beside him, and he looked back. , and saw Patty standing next to him, looking up at him, his big eyes full of curiosity.
"I just remembered something," Gawain said casually, then smiled and shook his head, "By the way, how did you meet Sister Serena who usually takes care of you?"
He knew that this was probably the most dangerous question he had asked today.
The so-called "Sister Selina" is almost certainly Selena Gelfen back then. According to little girl Patty's cheerful personality and her relationship with "Sister Selina", She is very likely to mention herself to Selina Gale later and mention the "strange questions" she asked. So will Selina Gale have doubts about this? Will she realize that an eternal sleeper of unknown origin is paying attention to her?
After some quick weighing, Gao Wen believed that this risk was still acceptable.
His identity has not been exposed. He is now a completely normal sleeper operating in the psychic network, so Selina Galfen has no reason to be extra vigilant and concerned about him. , so it is not too strange for a completely normal Eversleeper to accidentally ask Patty why he knows the big shots in the church.
And even if Selina Galfen pays attention to herself, there is nothing to worry about if she wants to trace it - the current spiritual network does not have mature address tracking and user management technology, even for the church The higher-ups can only target the believers near them through a very primitive method of searching and sensing brain waves, so it is impossible for Selina Gerfen to target Gawain.
If one day the Eternal Sleepers establish a mature address tracking and user management system... then Gawain will not have to worry, because he built the system himself and it is full of backdoors...
So after a very serious weighing, he asked this question in a seemingly relaxed tone.
Patty didn’t think much about it at all. She answered happily: “When I first came here, it was Sister Serena who was taking care of me! She said she was my ‘guide’! "
Gawain frowned: "Guide? What kind of way?"
"I don't understand very well," said Patty, shaking her head. I have a very special talent, so I need someone to teach me so that I can become a very useful person in the future... But she didn’t teach me anything.”
A very special talent? Did the Eternal Sleeper absorb this little girl into the network because of some of her talents?
So this Patty is really not a normal Eternal Sleeper cultist...
Then Gawain asked the little girl some questions, such as how she entered the Internet in the first place, and what Who introduced or guided her, but Patty seemed very confused about this-—She seems to have no memory of how she first entered this network.
Either her memory in this regard has been tampered with, or she was secretly guided into the Internet by someone or some people without her knowing it.
In any case, Gawain felt that it was best not to continue asking in this regard: if Patty's memory was really tampered with by the Eternal Sleeper, then the more questions he asked, the greater the possibility of arousing suspicion. The bigger.
After saying goodbye to Patty, Gawain left the Eternal Sleeper's psychic network.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he...well, this time he didn't see Amber's face stuck in front of him.
What he saw was the faces of Rebecca and Amber.
The ancestor suddenly opened his eyes and startled Rebecca. The roe deer spirit jumped two meters away on the spot and exclaimed: "Wow! The ancestor is awake!"
Gawain's first reaction when he saw Rebecca's startled state was to quickly take his hand back from the table - because he still remembered what happened after he suddenly woke up and startled Rebecca last time. What was the girl's reaction? The feel of the "Ancestor's Rest" stick technique was still fresh in his memory...
Then he realized what was wrong, looked up at Rebecca, and He glanced at Amber, who was shrinking his neck and trying to pretend that he had entered the shadow stealth state: "What are you two doing?"
Amber was just about to make up an excuse to cover up the matter, but his head turned cold. Rebecca, who was also upright, spoke first: "Amber said she would draw a few circles on your face to see if you would wake up - I don't think so, because you look like you are sleeping deeply."
"Amber!"
As soon as Gawain called out his name, the half-elf girl instantly turned into a black light and rushed towards the nearest window, but she failed to run out smoothly this time: Gao Wen Wen had already mastered several of this guy's emergency escape habits. Before she could touch the window sill, Gawain had already reached out and grabbed this guy's ankle with ease, and carried him back to her: "I asked you to help me. Are you looking at it like this? Tell me, have you ever..."
"No, absolutely not!" Amber suddenly mastered the balance in mid-air in a posture that was so thrilling that it was almost an acrobatic performance. , then jumped on one leg and tried hard to pull her ankle out of Gawain's hand, "This is definitely the first time I have such a bold idea..."
As a result, she didn't say anything. After that, Rebecca bluntly broke the news: "She said she thought about it every time, but she never dared to put it into practice..."
"If you can't speak, don't speak!" Amber glared. Looking at Rebecca, "I shouldn't have communicated with you so much! Haven't you ever been beaten because of this bad mouth since you were a child?!"
This time, without waiting for Rebecca to answer, Gawain has already given the answer on his behalf: "You are despising her by saying this - I heard Hetty said that the beatings she received since she was a child are more than the wallets you have stolen..."
< p>After saying this, Gawain finally let go of Amber's ankle, lettingThe half-elf jumped to the side and then turned to look at Rebecca: "Are you here just to learn how to commit suicide with Amber?"Rebecca seemed to Only then did he remember that he still had business to do, so he quickly patted his head: "Ah, that's right! A letter was delivered to the territory, and it was a griffin messenger... um, no, it was sent by a griffin-riding messenger. , He carries the king's mark..."
"A messenger from St. Sunil City?" Gawain raised his eyebrows, "And he came here on a griffin?"
< p>Gryphon messengers are not common "messengers". In this era where communication technology has severe limitations and road transportation is in poor condition, griffon messengers that can cross national borders within a few days can be said to be the most convenient thing that countries can master. Usually only kings, princes, dukes and a small number of other extremely wealthy or special status nobles and organizations can afford such costly "messengers", and they can only deliver urgent or special messages. They will use this kind of messenger only when the time comes.So it took almost no time for Gawain to guess what the message the messenger was conveying was.
He nodded: "The messenger should have gone back by now, right?"
"How did you know, ancestor? The messenger left quickly after delivering the letter - I I originally wanted to invite a few more people to watch the fun, but gryphon, I have only seen it a few times..."
Gawain looked at him rather helplessly as he failed in all the noble conduct courses. The N-level great-granddaughter shook her head and said: "Of course he has to leave quickly, because Francis II's griffon messenger has been very busy during this period of time. In fact, if my reputation hadn't been so great, he might have He was reluctant to let his griffon messenger fly to this place - where is the letter?"
"I'm holding it," Rebecca immediately took out a light-gold Moen royal letter from her body. The marked sleeve, one end of which is still sealed with wax, "I originally wanted to read it, but Knight Philip said that this kind of letter cannot be peeked at, so I must hand it over to you..."
< p>Seeing the resentful look on Rebecca's face, Gawain could guess how much effort the girl had put in to resist peeking. He took the sleeve with a smile, and then stood in front of Amber. And Rebecca took it apart.Inside the sleeve is a scroll made of fine parchment, and the scroll is also wrapped with a band woven from pale gold and lavender silk threads - obviously, this thing is more than just a letter So simple.
It is an official document from the royal family.
Gawain unfolded the scroll, glanced at it casually, and threw it to Rebecca: "After reading it, put it in the collection room. Don't lose it."
Rebecca immediately eagerly read the content on the scroll. After reading it, she looked up blankly: "Master Ancestor, are you now the legal legal lord of Kant Territory? And the king also gave Kant Territory a land to the east. A large area of royal territory is also given to you? ! "
The content of the scroll is just as Gawain guessed, it is a canonization document from the royal family - or to put it another way, it is the royal family's "compromise" to the fact that Gawain now rules the Kant Territory. and "recognition" documents.
When Amber heard something like this, he couldn't help but come closer: "Let me see, let me see, this is the first time I have seen a real canonization. Where are the paperwork... wow! The buckle of this strap is actually gold! ? "
"Do you need to be so surprised? "Gawain looked at the two girls in front of him with a little humor, "As long as Francis II doesn't have Alzheimer's disease, this document will be delivered to me sooner or later - Kant is just a subcounty, for my title of duke , this is just a small gift, the king has no need to be stingy. As for the royal territory... it's just a small gift. "
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly: "I just didn't expect it to be delivered in advance - and it was urgently delivered by the Griffin messenger. I originally thought that the relevant canonization documents would be sent to Cecil after the beginning of spring, but now it seems... the changes in the situation have given His Majesty the King a sense of urgency. ”
“Changes in the situation? Rebecca blinked in confusion, "You mean the situation between Typhon and Anzu?" Does this have anything to do with the canonization document? "
"Of course," Gawain smiled, "The war between Typhon and Anzu is likely to be postponed, then the rulers of the two countries will consider restarting diplomatic activities, and the king will personally negotiate. The possibility is very high, but the Second Dynasty's control over Ansu is not as strong as that of the First Dynasty. Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of the domestic situation during the next negotiation period, Francis II must appease or please the domestic nobles in advance. Regardless of whether it is the warring faction or the peace-promoting faction, he has to contact and ventilate things. As for me, who is neither the war-promoting nor the peace-promoting faction, he must also take care of me - because I am the ancestral faction, that person. His Majesty the King is always worried whether my old ancestor will suddenly jump out and criticize him. ”
