The outskirts of Bagpipe Town.
The giant prince Wolfram stood alone on the open grassland. The winter grass had become dry.
Wolfram’s face did not have the anger and frenzy common among giants, but was extremely calm.
His rational and indifferent voice sounded leisurely, "I paid a price you can't imagine to escape from George. Now we have no way out. I hope the information you brought is true."
He consumed all the remaining demonologists who fanatically followed him as materials, so that he could set up a trap to trap the Great Guardian George, and by the way, he could directly cross the entire Avalon, from The diagonal position was transmitted.
It can even be said that the core elite of the Noble Red have become extinct.
The reason for everything was that Cassieim sent a piece of information, and Wolfram immediately sent it over without hesitation and at a huge cost.
"You are not the only one who paid the price, my respected prince."
It seemed blurry in the rolling thunder, but it could not cover up the voice of malice and greed at all. "Those humans are just slaves, toys, walking ritual materials and food reserves. What a heavy price to pay"
"As long as we get the Book of Law, we can recruit them casually I need your help to reach stronger and more human beings than this, my respected prince. ”
As he spoke, a dark cloud appeared in front of the giant prince. The monster was as ferocious as a devil, covered in pitch-black scales, with black bat wings behind him, and thick crocodile feet. He walked out of the void in a burst of crackling lightning.
His right hand dragged the halberd shining with lightning, bursting into flames on the dry white grass, igniting a trail. Scorch marks. And the silver chain with sharp barbs was wrapped around his scale-covered left arm.
It was completely different from Qasiem’s irritable but cautious character.
p>With the power of demon incarnation, he became a punishment demon without hiding his self-confidence and greed. In other words, he was trying his best to hide it.
Originally, he wanted to hide the book of law. It was found and given to Prince Wolfram, but now the person who got the book has become "we". Maybe after getting it, the personal pronoun will be changed to "I". I feel like I can do this.
But Prince Wolfram doesn’t care at all about the changes in his subordinate, the only pure-blooded member of the association.
In other words, he already knew the other person’s true character, and he was only willing to work with him and share power because of Cassiem’s bloodline.
It was unlike Cassiem who was so groveling before. Different from the disgusting posture that hides desires, Prince Wolfram's relationship with the Punishment Demon is more relaxed and natural. "How come you didn't believe in the existence of the Book of Law before, but now you finally believe it?"
"That's trueIt is an extremely powerful force. "
The Punishment Demon also admitted his failure without hesitation. "I came a little late, and Jacob's grandson got it. As a result, at the third level, he was able to compete with me head-on. He even had an advantage for a while. Forcing me to become a punishment demon to survive. This was still when I brought a group of demonologists, and even after I became a punishment demon, he could still pose a threat to me.
"I can see that his fighting style is immature. It's more like a test than a battle, like the kind of power you suddenly get, and then find someone to test what this power can do. What a young man."
He was all too familiar with this.
There are many people like this in Noble Red.
"But if he is only at this level, you cannot ask for my help. You will want to swallow the Book of Laws."
Prince Wolfram He said, "Because you have also just become a punishment demon and are not familiar with your new power. If it was just a little bit close, you would definitely lie dormant and wait for your injuries to recover and become familiar with your power before you attack again.
"So you must have encountered something else, tell me, I have already come over. ”
“I met the Wild Hunt. As long as I enter a battle, I will be in a storm. Passing by an area frequented by Wild Hunt, it is easy to provoke the King of the Wild Hunt. ”
The Punishment Demon replied, “I’m lucky if I can escape safely.” "
"Oh"
Wolfram was slightly interested in "What level is the King of the Wild Hunt?"
"At least the fifth Energy level, maybe the sixth energy level. "
The Punishment Demon simply shared the information, "I retreated as soon as the fight started in order to maintain my condition.
“But we don’t have to be afraid even if it’s the sixth level. Even if we can’t defeat the Wild Hunt, we can still hold it off, and the other person can take away the Book of Law.
p>
“The Wild Hunt does not pursue the living. How about we just leave when we have the stuff, and then divide the loot in a safe place"
"Then who will attract the King of the Wild Hunt?"
Prince Wolfram asked rhetorically.< /p>
The Punishment Demon chuckled and said, "Of course, everyone depends on their ability. But if you're worried, I can go in first. "
His dark golden vertical pupils are full of malice.
It is not that he does not know the identity of the King of Wild Hunt, nor does he not know the other party's energy level Elf He Leqin, his name is also famous among the giants. Without him, those ingredients would have been ruled by the giants until now.
In other words, the war against the giants began. It was because the Punishment Demon knew Heleqin
that he knew that no matter what order they entered Eagle Point Village, Heleqin would definitely stare at Prince Wolfram and fight
Helchin's deep-seated hatred for giants will invalidate the rule that "the Wild Hunt will not hunt down the living"
The sixth level of madness.The King of Hunters, if he pursues him to death, he will most likely kill Prince Wolfram.
His former master was, after all, a fifth-level "great wizard".
As an advanced profession of the Curse Mage, he is so dangerous that it is easy to kill others with a curse. The evil Jacob is at this level.
Now that the other party knows that he has become a punishment demon, he may use various countermeasures and rituals against demons to target him or even set a trap to capture him. That is really too dangerous.
And he himself did not dare to directly confront the world's strongest person at the sixth level. If the opponent is a demon, he can still fight, but if it's a wild hunt, he might as well forget it.
Calling His Highness the Prince here can be said to be a multi-purpose achievement.
On the one hand, he can entangle the King of the Wild Hunt so that his plan to obtain the Book of Law can proceed smoothly without being interrupted; on the other hand, the King of the Wild Hunt can also kill the King with a high probability. Kill your former boss and become a truly free person.
In order to jointly fight against the King of Wild Hunt, obtaining the Book of Laws, this plan can also prevent His Highness from being cursed to death in advance. After all, the Punishment Demon didn't know how many curse materials he had in his hands, and now that he had become a Punishment Demon, he didn't dare to bet on whether they would still be useful.
All in all, I won three times
The Punishment Demon thought.
On the other side, the glass island, the palace of silver and tin.
Queen Sofia, who was lying on the bed, was chatting with Ligeia, who was sitting on her bed. She suddenly paused, as if she heard something.
Then she smiled bitterly.
"What's wrong, Sophia?"
Ligeia raised her eyebrows, rubbed Sophia's arm with her dragon horns, and said loudly, "Someone has made you unhappy. Do you want me to beat him up?"
"It was the report submitted by George."
Queen Sophia said slowly, "He said that the core members of Noble Red except Wolfe. Except for the two giant leaders Ram and Cassiam, all of them have surrendered."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Ligeia was a little confused.
"Indeed, it would have been better if George hadn't sent a copy of this news to the Inspectorate and the Round Table Hall as soon as possible."
The Queen sighed, "You guys Both are upright and powerful, but they don't understand people's hearts. Avalon does need a big victory to boost morale, but now we need a clear enemy, but not as powerful as Star Antimony to increase cohesion."
During this period, the actions on Xing Antimony’s side were very intense.
As the Star Antimony people failed to rescue Drost, a group of Star Antimony spies were killed by Avalon. Star Antimony immediately also killed the same number of Avalon spies.
This is a very dangerous signal. On the one hand, it means that many of Avalon's spies lurking on Star Antimony have actually exposed themselves,In other words, Star Antimony has a very advanced ability to find spies. The information they send back may not be useful or true, and the remaining spies in ambush may not be safe.
On the other hand, this also means that Xing Antimony's desire for war is very strong. They not only killed a group of inspectors sent by Avalon, but also reversed right and wrong from newspapers.
They described Avalon's behavior as "the strong xenophobia of the Avalonians, which caused them to kill the travelers and merchants of Star Antimony and take away their property", and those who were The assassinated Avalon spy was described as "a gang member who was mistakenly killed during a fight with a street gang."
Sofia believes that this is the Star Antimony people building momentum for the upcoming war. Correspondingly, Avalon was not ready to face this war.
This caused Edward, who was still in Iris, to be recalled urgently. But even so, the fact that Aiwas was about to take office as a minister without charge still received a violent backlash from the Round Table Hall. It is really unheard of for a child who has just grown up to succeed a high-ranking and powerful minister. The Round Table kept raising objections with excuses like that he was too young and didn't understand Avalon.
Of course, as long as Sophia insists on advancing, their objections will not take effect.
Correspondingly, it is difficult to force them to cede their own interests. When Minister Drost dies, they will not eat the cake left by him and directly cooperate to prepare for full war. State war costs money, and so does preparation for war.
In other words, they did not really want to oppose Aiwass's succession as minister. I just want to find some trouble to gain some political space for myself.
Now there are no other heirs in the royal family. Isabel has no authoritarian path, and it is obvious to the naked eye that she cannot suppress them. Therefore, when the queen's health deteriorated, they began to have their own thoughts.
After all, they still don’t want to fight the Star Antimony people.
Because the rule of the Star Antimony Kingdom relies heavily on the traditions of the Herasl Empire they inherited. Outside the radiating circle of imperial culture, their influence was not great. In the end, jurisdiction could only be exercised by the local governor.
The Narcissus Kingdom is a good example. Except for Narcissus being killed, almost none of the top mages have been replaced.
In other words, even if they lose, it will not affect them in any way. But if you keep fighting, it's not necessarily who will die.
“This Avalon really sucks.”
After listening to Sofia’s explanation, Ligeia sneered, “Is this the country of knights? It’s really funny. "
"It's all my fault. I'm too old."
Sofia sighed, "If I could be younger, these problems could be solved. If the Shadow of Vallon ritual succeeds, the ancestors can also protect Avalon."
"I think that if Lancelot I is really resurrected, the first person he will kill will be the one in the Round Table Hall. those old knights. ”
Ligeia shook her head.
She knew why Sophia insisted on making Aiwass the Minister of Indifference.
Essentially, she wanted to make Aivas, who is relatively trustworthy, will be the regent to support Avalon during the transition period.
If they don't take action, it will be difficult for Ligeia to do so, and they have big names. It is not easy to do anything, because it will bring strong unrest and chaos to the civilians.
The strongest group of powerful people in the country suddenly began to use cruel methods to eliminate dissidents on a large scale. Everyone knows what this means.
This means chaos.
The vacancy of power and interests brought about by killing those people will cause a sudden stop in some fields and trigger an unknown series of events. Famous and unpredictable consequences may also cause the remaining people to fight for these cakes, and the person who is finally promoted may not be more reliable than the previous one.
For the same reason, if Giving the title of regent to Aiwas is also easy to cause taboos.
But it is different for "no matter the minister". They are all of the same level, and it is normal for them to attack each other, especially if they are still on their own. As long as the queen pretends not to hear, they can let Aiwass attack others within the scope of their authority. If they are in a hurry, the queen can sidestep them; if they are not in a hurry, they can let Aiwass gradually seize their power. .
Ligeia lacks a long-term perspective on this matter, and listening to anyone's opinions may lead to her being exploited.
So she doesn't trust anyone and only obeys the queen.
Although Queen Sophia enforced many policies when she was young, as she got older, her administrative style tended to be conservative. As a result, this ritual is now invalid, and Avalon has no way out.
Now the Star Antimony people are eager to try, and any wound may attract their bite.
< p>In fact, if you are serious, these problems are not unsolvable.But the extraordinary ones on the authoritarian path tend to be conservative and stable, and the higher the level, the more so. Even the Silver Crown Dragon is the same. . This is the thinking mode determined by the characteristics of the path.
“At the beginning, the Round Table Hall was clearly established to imitate the Knights of the Round Table who advocated equality and unity. The founding family is also the descendant of the heroes who sacrificed themselves for Avalon."
Sofia sighed, "Why has it become like this now?"
Now that things have happened, She can only trust Aiwass.
She also knows that it is very despicable to put such a burden on a young man.
But she has no choice, and neither does Avalon. No choice.
“I think you are worrying too much. He should be happily killing people. "
Ligeia complained, "That boy is not a good person. ”
This chapter is actually at 8:40 a.m.Finished. I had insomnia again last night. I felt that the breath coming out of my nose was hot and blocked one nostril. I was so thirsty and my voice was hoarse that I couldn't sleep at all. So I got up at 4 o'clock in the middle of the night and wrote more than 7,000 words. Unfortunately, I had to work hard and rest. Broken woo hoo
I will correct the typos when I wake up, probably in the afternoon
