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 hear the truth?"

"certainly!"

Paul shrugged, "Incredible, or... absurd!"

"Absurd?" Mariana frowned and said displeasedly: "Is this how you view the career 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, there can be a connection between any two things in the world."

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

Mariana smiled, "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 secret method 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 crafts of ordinary people, which was simply blasphemy.

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

Poor child, he must feel aggrieved, both were born to the same mother, but his brother showed extraordinary magical talent and was taken by his mother, but he did not have this talent, so don't keep him.

Yes, his son must have said this because he was wronged. Maybe he had 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 words of comfort, 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 something."

"You said."

Mariana said: "The world may become chaotic in the next period of time, but the Northwest Bay is a piece of pure land. It has always been unknown in Aldo's political map. If the hands of the Secret Order can truly The ground reaches here, I think... I can protect the Northwest Bay from interference from 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, "I understand what you mean."

But this is simply not possible. With the development of the economy, the Northwest Bay has become more and more closely connected with other parts of the kingdom.

He was just 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..."

"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 first forced himself to calm down.

"Ah, this is really unbelievable news, my dear mother, it is difficult to imagine that the impregnable Watcher Fortress cannot stop the orcs. It has stood at the entrance to the bottom of Gabela Valley for nearly a thousand years. "

"The orcs have other ways. In short, they will enter the northeast of the kingdom."

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

Paul's brain was running at high speed.

Other ways, sea? Absolutely impossible! That is...

Rocky Mountains?

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

Also, my mother knew about this, which meant that the Arcana Society knew about it. Does the invasion of the orcs have anything to do with 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 Gabera into chaos.

Ultimately, it serves the goal of the Arcana Society to integrate 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?"

There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

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

Without further ado!

Paul looked at the grandfather clock and said, "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."

Mariana 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 fine!" A sense of indebtedness prompted Marianna to answer like this.

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

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

Hearing the hurried footsteps of Paul leaving in a hurry, Marianna felt a little uneasy.

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

Although there are concepts of countries and nations in this world now, 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 combines the cognition of the previous life with the identity of the present life. The country and the nation are of great significance to him.

Perhaps other lords can sit back and watch what happens outside the territory, but Paul finds it difficult to accept, especially when he still has some abilities.

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

But the orcs on the grassland are different.

Paul called several servants and said, "I need all the heads of the administrative department and military officers of battalion level and above to come to the lord's mansion for a meeting."

Seeing the anxious look on the lord's face, the servants hurried to convey the message.

Two others were left behind.

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