240: Chapter 240: Conversation with Sylvia! New Intelligence! The Night Federation!
Lenhe Magic Tower, 9th floor.
After Sylvia returned to her private room, she closed the door behind her.
She leaned against the door panel, closed her eyes to think for a moment, then walked quickly to the desk in the room, sat down, and gently swiped a magic transmission stone.
Pale blue magic runes lit up at her fingertips.
A moment later, the magic channel was connected.
Sylvia did not exchange pleasantries and asked directly: "Father, do you know about the situation in the North?"
On the other end, Duke Latour was silent for a moment, immediately understanding what his daughter wanted to ask.
He thought for a while, took the opportunity to say something he had been considering recently, and probed: "How about I send someone to the North to bring the children back?"
Sylvia frowned slightly upon hearing this.
The children?
What about that bastard?
She was silent for a moment, suppressed the complicated emotions surging in her heart, and tried to keep her tone calm:
"I'll consider it first."
Then, she ended the call, thought for a moment, and dialed Elise's magic transmission stone.
...
Golden Flame Castle, master bedroom, by the floor-to-ceiling window.
Elise suddenly straightened up, glared at Rowan on the recliner, then hurriedly ran to a corner of the bedroom, picked up a magic transmission stone, connected it, and said with a guilty conscience: "Miss... are you looking for me?"
Hearing Elise's slightly hoarse voice, Sylvia felt a bit strange, but she didn't think much about it and said directly:
"Where is Rowan? I want to speak with him."
Elise was slightly startled upon hearing this.
This was the first time the Miss had taken the initiative to ask for a direct conversation with Rowan. She hurriedly said:
"Miss, please wait a moment."
She took the transmission stone, walked quickly to the recliner, handed it to Rowan, and whispered:
"The Miss wants to talk to you."
Rowan was a little surprised to hear this.
He didn't expect Sylvia to take the initiative to find him.
But thinking of the current situation in the North, he understood.
So he took the magic transmission stone and said with a smile:
"Sylvia, long time no see."
On the other side of the transmission stone, Sylvia heard this extremely familiar voice, and an inexplicable throbbing involuntarily spread through her body.
She tightened her legs slightly, took a deep breath, and kept her voice steady, saying directly:
"Rowan, the North will be very dangerous next."
"You must leave the North with the children immediately. I will send someone to pick you up."
Rowan smiled upon hearing this and said directly:
"I'm not leaving."
Sylvia was a little angry when she heard this, and her voice couldn't help but rise a few notes:
"Rowan, now is not the time for you to be stubborn! The North is really dangerous next."
"Half a month later, the Golan Fortress in the West of the Empire will be officially abandoned, and the passage will be opened."
"By then, the army of the Night Federation will directly descend on the Frost Rock Province in the Northwest. It will only be a matter of time before they reach the Will Province in the Northeast."
"Are you waiting to die by staying there? You can die if you want to, you bastard, but don't drag my children down with you!"
Rowan frowned slightly upon hearing this.
The West? The Night Federation?
This was new information he hadn't grasped yet.
He previously thought Sylvia was talking about the revival of the Red Moon, but now it seems that the situation is much more complicated than he imagined.
At the same time, he realized that this was a good opportunity to obtain intelligence—
Sylvia has a noble status, and the information she has access to is far more comprehensive than what he has pieced together.
So he began to ask for details.
Sylvia heard this, and although she was anxious, she could only patiently begin to explain:
"On the side of the Golan Fortress, the imperial forces will officially retreat in half a month."
"The gods of the Night Federation are coveting the power of faith in the North."
"Those powers of faith polluted by the power of the Red Moon are deadly poison to the Church of Dawn, but for some gods of the Night Federation, they are rare delicacies."
"For example, gods of the Blood Clan lineage, gods of the Dark Elf lineage, etc. By then, true legendary powerhouses will descend on the North."
"After the Church of Dawn takes the initiative to retreat, many forces including the Snowfield Kingdom, the Kalunda Tribal Alliance, and even the many forces along the Ancient Abyss Mediterranean coast to the west, will truly exert their strength."
"The chaos you see now is just a prelude."
Rowan listened, his heart sinking slightly.
He thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Sylvia, what is a legendary powerhouse?"
Sylvia couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
This bastard, what time is it, and he is still asking such questions.
But she immediately felt something was wrong and asked vigilantly: "What is your current realm?"
Rowan smiled: "Earth Knight."
He paused and added, "Sky Knight should be soon too."
Sylvia was shocked when she heard this, and then fell silent. The daily intimacy during those three years made her know Rowan's character deeply—
Although he likes to talk nonsense about some things, he wouldn't lie to her about this kind of thing.
After being silent for a moment, she suddenly thought of something and asked word by word:
"Did you sacrifice to the Lord of Scarlet?!"
Rowan heard this and said seriously without hesitation:
"No."
"Phew..." Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, then thought for a while and continued:
"Legendary powerhouses are all people who have walked their own path to be called legends."
"For your knight's path, if you want to reach that step, you need to inject your own insights and understanding into your Breathing Technique, promoting the Breathing Technique into a legendary Breathing Technique that belongs exclusively to you, only then will you have a glimmer of opportunity to touch that level."
Rowan frowned after listening: "In that case, legendary powerhouses are very powerful."
Sylvia couldn't help but laugh softly when she heard this: "You don't have to worry about this."
"Legendary powerhouses rarely take action against weaker people below them. At that level, they have their own rules and considerations and will not easily interfere in lower-level disputes."
Rowan was speechless when he heard this.
It means—
He is not worthy of letting legendary powerhouses take action personally.
The two fell silent.
After a while, Rowan smiled and took the initiative to break the silence, his tone becoming a bit more relaxed: "Sylvia, how have you been lately? I miss you so much!"
Sylvia felt a tightness in her chest when she heard this. This bastard, does he think she doesn't know about his situation there?
Elise reports the situation in the castle to her every month, and she is no longer the person who would be dizzy from his sweet words!
She wanted to say something.
She wanted to scold him, wanted to question him about those women in the castle.
But when the words came to her lips, for some reason, they turned into a soft: "Hmm..."
Then, afraid that Rowan would say something to disturb her mind again, she hurriedly brought the topic back:
"Are you sure you're not leaving?"
Rowan said directly: "Sure!"
Sylvia was silent when she heard this, and after thinking about it, she said:
"With your current strength, as long as you don't mess around and don't take the initiative to fight for those bloodline nodes to sacrifice to the Lord of Scarlet, self-preservation shouldn't be a big problem."
"If it involves the issue of changing faith later, you need to choose carefully. The Night Federation is not as dominant as the Empire, and you will know when the time comes."
"When you need to make a choice, my advice is, you had better choose to believe in the Dark Night Goddess."
"Also, take care of the children."
"I will have someone send you a batch of magic scrolls. One of them is a group teleportation magic scroll, and I will set the teleportation location. Have Elise carry it with her, and do not stray far from the children."
Rowan listened quietly, thought about it, and did not ask more questions, just responded lightly: "Hmm."
Sylvia said: "Alright, give the magic transmission stone to Elise, I have something to say to her."
Rowan smiled and handed the transmission stone to Elise, who was beside him.
Elise took the transmission stone, walked to the other side of the room, and began to talk to Sylvia in a low voice.
Rowan leaned on the recliner, watching the figure of Elise, who had just put on a silk robe, with great interest.
A moment later, Elise ended the call, put away the transmission stone, and turned to walk towards him.
Rowan chuckled: "Continue..."
