Someone knocked on the door, and Russell said in a deep voice: "Come in."
"Emperor, the queen invites you to come over for breakfast." Cattleya who was outside did not choose to come in, but stood at the door and spoke respectfully.
Russell, who had been looking forward to it for a while, sighed, got up, opened the door, and followed Cattleya to the dining place.
On the way, Cattleya remained silent and did not speak.
Russell looked at her for a while and said, "Whose daughter are you?"
"My father served under you."
"What's your name?"
"Cattleya." After a slight pause, Cattleya said with a bit of pride, "This is the name the Queen gave me."
"That's a good name. Help me take good care of Bernadette from now on."
"I will always be loyal to the Queen!"
Russell nodded with satisfaction. This was a sincere statement that was more genuine than gold.
When Russell came to the dining table, Bernadette was holding a newspaper and reading it carefully.
Russell deliberately coughed twice before taking his seat. Bernadette put down the newspaper and said slowly: "It was too late last night. I'm afraid it will affect your sleep."
A satisfied smile appeared on Russell's face, her precious daughter was still considerate.
"This is your favorite leek bun." Bernadette put a bun into the bowl in front of Russell. "I specially went to Backlund to purchase the leeks. They are relatively fresh."
What a considerate little cotton-padded jacket!
Russell's face showed an even more satisfied smile.
After breakfast, Bernadette hesitated and said, "Charles has passed away, and only one bloodline has been passed down. Bonova is now a Sequence 2 angel of the Steam Church, ranking above the Archbishop.
. "
Russell calmly put down the tableware, leaned back slightly, closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, "Ordinary people are destined to die. Charles does not have astonishing mystical talents like you and Bonois."
"Although he is slow to learn, he is very determined. It's just that he is ordinary and destined to be unable to catch up with you."
"That's why I always loved him so much."
Bernadette just listened quietly to the nagging of her old father in front of her. There were many things in the past that she could not change.
When her sky fell, a disaster swept through the Gustav family, and it was already very difficult to survive.
"Before I came to see you, I returned to Intis. Today, Intis is in chaos and has no owner. Even the Eternal Sun has fallen."
"Are you interested in returning to Intis and re-seating the throne of Intis as the eldest daughter of Russell Gustav?"
Bernadette shook her head, "That's not my destination. My destination is here, on this sea."
"It's a pity." Russell then added: "That's fine."
"I'll go see Bonoit."
Russell stood up and left his seat, took two steps, then turned to look at Bernadette and said: "On the matter of faith, I believe you will have your own correct judgment."
"This is the Star Sea Kingdom, a country blessed and protected by the stars."
"You decide for yourself."
Russell left the last words and left the Rhoside Islands.
……
"Oh, my great master, have you abandoned me?"
"I'm going to be sealed again, you must come and save me!"
"Your humble, pious, and faithful servant Arrodes awaits your arrival."
A steam train from Backlund to Intis is setting off.
The whistle of the whirring steam train resounded through the platform, and the steam train set off against the strong wind.
In the third carriage, on the right side by the window, there is a mirror covered with black cloth.
Sitting opposite the mirror is a young man with long chestnut hair, blue eyes, tall body and handsome appearance.
Recently, because the situation in Intis is too chaotic, many members of the Church of Steam have begun to evacuate from the Kingdom of Loen and return to the Republic of Intis.
"Arrodes, who are you praying to?" the young man said gently, and the mirror opposite, which was covered with black cloth, stopped trembling.
"This time, after we go back, you will be locked up in dust. It will be difficult to come out next time."
The gentle voice frightened the mirror opposite to tremble slightly.
Suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared in the empty space opposite, stretched out his hand and peeled off the black cloth, revealing an ancient silver mirror with strange patterns.
"You..." The young man was about to say something, but after seeing the appearance of the person opposite him, his pupils shrank slightly, but soon returned to his usual calmness. He said with a smile: "Father, congratulations. Return from resurrection.”
"Bonoit, I don't hear any excitement in your tone."
"I have grown up, and controlling emotions is the most basic ability of an adult."
"Is that all?" Russell's eyes showed a hint of sarcasm. "When your eldest sister knew I was still alive, she was so happy that she cried.
It flowed all over the floor, and you didn't even sound surprised when you spoke."
"Will she still cry now?" Bonova still smiled gently: "That's good."
"Isn't it good for you to be like this?" Russell's eyes became more sarcastic.
"Well, everything's fine."
"Steam educates you well."
Bonova seemed not to realize that this was an irony, and nodded: "God helped me a lot when I was growing up, and it was He who guided me in the right direction."
Russell sneered and said: "You had such a temper when you were young, and you still have the same temper now. I really doubt whether you are my biological child."
"After so many years, you are still very angry. This is not a good thing."
"What, you want to transform your father?"
"I don't have such ability, and I can't convince you." Bonova said calmly: "Your arrival will definitely make God happy."
"He likes to take care of my shit!" Russell, who was feeling uncomfortable, also started to speak harshly.
He looked at Bonova sitting opposite him, sighed deeply in his heart, and suppressed some unpleasant thoughts.
"I came here today because I have another thing to do." Russell stretched out his hand to touch the mirror of Asrode beside him. "Its owner asked me to do a little favor and take it away."
Before leaving the Rhoside Islands, he went to see Klein again. When he learned that he was coming to Backlund, he entrusted him with a small favor.
“You want nature to take away.”
"Heh, how can you have anything to do with the god you say you believe in?"
"God will not refuse your request either."
"The way you talk is annoying to me as always. If it weren't for the sake of your growing up safely, I would really want to slap you a few times."
Bonova leaned forward slightly, turned his cheek to Russell and said, "If you are angry, it is not too late to hit him now."
Russell's eyes were cold, and he looked at him for a while, but in the end he didn't slap him.
"That's good. I won't have to worry about you anymore in the future."
After Russell finished speaking, he took Asrod out of the steam train and disappeared.
Bonova stared quietly out of the empty car window, still with a gentle smile on his face, and whispered: "Yes, everything is fine."
Chapter 630 Russell and Arrods
"You are the one who left endless legends, the pioneer of the steam age, the romantic poet that no one can surpass so far, the consul of the Republic of Intis, and the great Emperor Russell!"
"Ah, my God, I finally saw you in person. You are indeed as heroic and handsome as the rumors say."
"I didn't expect that you would appear in front of me in this way. It really made me frightened and anxious."
Arrodes showed words of praise on the mirror, trying his best to show his admiration for Russell.
Russell clicked his tongue, "Don't be poor, you are a broken mirror. It's not like I haven't met you before when I was in the Church of Steam."
"Oh my God, you still remember that little chance encounter! What an honor!"
"...Speak carefully!" Russell was a little unable to bear Arrods' enthusiasm.
"Okay." Arrodes ended this flattery and remained silent.
"Tell me, where did the master-servant relationship between you and Klein begin?"
"Backlund two years ago."
Arrodes' brief answer appeared on the mirror. Just as Russell was about to ask the second question, he saw a line of words appear on the mirror. This was a question.
"When you know that witches are transformed from men by taking magic potions, are you even more excited?"
"?!" Russell's mouth twitched. He wanted to smash the broken mirror directly. What kind of messy question was he asking!
"I refuse to answer!"
Russell raised his head slightly, and then a bloody thunder descended vertically and struck his long chestnut hair. Russell once again felt the pleasant feeling of electric numbness all over his body.
Russell, who had explosive hair, stared at Arrods for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you really afraid that I will just find a cesspool and throw you into it?"
"Afraid." Arrods answered honestly, and then a second question appeared on the mirror.
"What type of women do you like most in your life?"
"I TM..."
Before Russell finished swearing, another bloody thunder came down, scorching his whole body.
At this time, a series of sad and crying expressions appeared on Arrods' mirror, followed by a sentence.
"According to the principle of equivalence, if you ask me a question, I must also ask you a question. This is beyond my control."
"..." Russell gritted his teeth and said, "You definitely broke the mirror on purpose!"
"Is this a problem?"
"..."
