The Shadow of the Crown of Snow [Western Fantasy]

When Selene made a detour to buy a sword, Gu Yinuo knew that this sword would not be a decoration today.She said that she was just a survivor of Penglai, and she had no appearance of Penglai, but in fact, her words and deeds were full of Penglai style. Selene has always put on a calm, rational and restrained appearance, but she is still a northerner in her bones.

"You should bring a weapon when you come out, why do you need to buy it on purpose?" Gu Yinuo paid for her before Selene went to touch her pocket, "The sabers here are all thrusting swords, and people from the Northland don't Will you get used to it?"

"Although I'm not used to it, but I can do it." Selene carefully pinned the stabbing sword on her waist, "I forgot my saber at the hotel. I kept telling my sister not to make trouble, but I can't Go back and take the sword in front of her? Then she will definitely say, it's better to take her directly."

"Why don't you just take her with you." Gu Yinuo put away the wallet, frowned and asked Selene cautiously, "But I've wanted to ask for a long time, is she really your sister?"

The smile on Selene's face froze for a moment, but she still told the truth: "It's really not."

Gu Yinuo is not a person who doesn't know how to measure. He just nodded slightly when he heard what she said, and he understood it, and didn't continue to ask.

"What are you going to do today? Those old aristocrats will not rush to make a move. What they want is not change and progress, but to stay in a comfortable enough position and stop there."

Gu Yinuo wants to gain status and the right to speak in Tallis' parliament, but she thinks she is more far-sighted than those old aristocratic councilors who also want to climb up. Tallis's own development, even if he sat in the position of the speaker, is of little use. The chief of the half-orc tribe and the Pope of the Holy Church of Wilton are also "monarchs", and there is no comparison between the two.

Wilton almost regarded Nagrand as a vassal state, and Nagrand was also happy to become Wilton's strength so that he could rely on Wilton to continue to develop.Now that Nagrand has captured Nord, when Nagrand completely swallows Nord, the delicate balance between Wilton and Talis will be broken. Will Wilton continue to tolerate this? With the existence of "dissidents", the answer is obvious.

"The God of Light is good in everything, but he is a little narrow-minded."

"If it weren't for being narrow-minded and unable to tolerate dissidents, how could he become the only main god in Hindley's name?"

She deliberately emphasized the three words "in name", and Selene smiled knowingly.

Normally, Selene would never discuss the God of Light with others.One is that he is afraid of revealing that he does not actually believe in the God of Light at all in his heart, and the other is that he is surrounded by people from the North who do not understand the God of Light, so there is no way to discuss it.

Gu Yinuo is really a rare conversation partner for Selene.She is from Penglai, and she often puts herself on the standpoint of an outsider to see things in Hindley Continent, but she is also a Penglai survivor who grew up in Hindley Continent, and has already integrated into the life of Hindley Continent. The sense of alienation that Hindley mainlanders often have.

There are actually many people who meet these two conditions alone, but in Selene's view, there are very few people who can talk to her on an equal footing.It's not that she thinks highly of herself, it's just that a person once held the power of the entire country and stood in that position, so naturally she doesn't want to lower her figure to accommodate someone with low vision.Selene has a gentle personality—or most of the time her personality is very gentle—and she likes to make friends, but she feels that she can sing, dance and share mead with most people who are easy to get along with, but she can’t go deep with them. If you really want to count, you can't find half of your peers who can talk to each other.

Originally, Hecate might be such a candidate, but after all, Hecate doesn't know much about human beings. She is like a blank slate in this regard. It will take about ten years to understand the thinking of normal human beings. She has long been separated from human beings, and she is about to stand on a high place that Selene will never be able to reach.

Gu Yinuo is the first friend who can talk like this.

But Selene is still very distressed, because there is still no one around her who can let her confide her feelings for Hecate, she can't go to Hecate and say "Hecate, what do you think about the fact that I like you?" Bar?

"It is precisely because Nord stopped in a comfortable position that it ended up where it is today. Even the Light God Sect, which has been developed for thousands of years, is still desperately preaching. Nord's 900 years and Talis's How can 300 years stand up to squandering?"

"I hope the group of Talis can react to this as soon as possible."

Penglai people's black hair and black eyes, for some reason, always give people a feeling of being quiet and calm, and they can confide in secrets.Only then did Selene realize that sometimes she was as outspoken as Hecate, and when she thought of what to say, she grabbed Gu Yinuo and asked, "What do you think about my liking Hecate? ?”

This sudden topic made Gu Yinuo speechless for a long time, blinking his eyes for a long time before answering her: "To be honest, I am too."

"...Are you saying that you also like Hecate?"

"No, I mean, I like girls too." Gu Yinuo nodded meaningfully.

Contrary to yesterday, Gu Yinuo and Selene were the last to step into the council hall.They also sat down in the last two seats, waiting for the other new noble councilors to finish handling the daily affairs submitted by the local council, and then began to discuss whether to send troops to rescue the Nord Kingdom.

"We discussed this issue yesterday, so before we start today, let's vote first." Speaker Charles picked up the quill and drew a pre-drawn form, "Those who agree to send troops for the Kingdom of Nord ,Please raise your hand."

In the silent parliament hall, the rubbing sound of clothes could be clearly heard. A few members of the new nobles, Gu Yinuo and Selene raised their hands. At a glance, they knew that there were absolutely no more than half of them, but Charles still did it seriously. After going through the statistics, he circulated the form to everyone present.

If they can start today's discussion properly, then Selene will probably think that today's sword was bought for nothing, but the old nobleman sitting next to the speaker pointed directly at Selene: "Hurry up!" Go back to Nord, no one here has time for you northern savages."

The position he sat in the meeting represented his status in the council. When someone took the lead, there were whispers in the council hall.

Hecate is currently in the hotel room listening to forty pieces of souls arguing with each other, while Selene is listening to dozens of councilors chattering in the central council hall of the Talis Union. Gossip, every sentence is inseparable from the words "Northern Barbarians".

Hecate couldn't do anything with the ancestors living in his body, but dozens of councilors actually sat in front of Selene.

She got up from the last seat without saying a word, walked to the old nobleman who spoke first, quickly twisted his wrist, clasped the back of his neck with the other hand, and pressed him down with a little force. Can't move on the table.

"You say I'm a barbarian from the north? Okay, then I'll communicate with you in the way of a barbarian from the north." Selene's hand clasped on the neck of the congressman suddenly increased strength, and she smoothly uttered a scream .

"I don't use force to solve the problem, because if I use force, all of you present have to obey me." Selene let go of the old nobleman's hand, and drew the thrusting sword from her waist, "You may think that I The younger sister is the more powerful one, seeing that she didn't come today, so she is extra unscrupulous? You guessed it right, just like you, one of my younger sisters can beat a hundred of you."

She raised the tip of the sword, bent her wrist and looked at the blade carefully: "As for me, I am not used to the sword I am carrying today, and I am not as powerful as my sister. I can only hit fifty of you by myself."

An old aristocrat just sneered, and the blade immediately stuck to it. Selene tilted her head and stared at him: "If you don't believe me, you can try it."

She took back her sword, sat back at the last seat next to Yinuo, and knocked on the table with her knuckles: "I hope that in the next discussion, I can still hear insulting words about the people from the Northland, then I can let you guys see if I can really hit fifty of you by myself."

Frightened by Selene, the discussion in the parliament finally entered the normal range. Even the noble councilors reluctantly began to analyze the pros and cons, and did not dare to say a word against the northerners.Although some aspects of them made Selene so angry that he wanted to turn the table, but they either entered the parliament by their own ability, or they were born in a member family and received careful cultivation from the family since they were young. Their abilities are not too bad. When the world came down, many old noble councilors were persuaded—presumably they didn’t want their good days to come to an end—although they hadn’t reached half of the number, but Selene thought that after a few more days at most, she would be able to talk with Tower Together with Lys's army, they went to join the guards waiting at the border.

On the way back, Gu Yinuo covered his stomach and laughed for several minutes, then suddenly mentioned: "Selene, I have a question about Hecate. You don't treat her as your sister now, She seems to think of you as a sister."

"Are you sure?" Selene thought for a moment, then frowned, "That's right, I don't even expect her to understand what liking is."

"We Penglai people have always been very good at emotional issues."

"We Northlanders have always been very simple and direct when it comes to emotional issues."

"Really?"

Selene snorted: "Do you think I have the personality of an ordinary Northlander?"

Gu Yinuo recalled the scene in the parliament just now, and patted her on the shoulder: "I think it looks like it."
