Originally, Pilotti Manor could be regarded as a mansion even in Leipzig, where land is at a premium.
Perhaps because of his status, he had a closer relationship with the Earl of Leipzig, so he was allocated more land.
The level of luxury is only higher than that of Earl Daun's manor.
And now... it has been completely reduced to ruins.
The power of the explosion far exceeded the limit that a fourth-level transcendent could reach - its sound was enough to shake the heaven and earth, and even caused the entire city of Leipzig to "do it" in a physical sense. shock".
The explosion that occurred in the center of the city instantly woke up residents on the edge of Leipzig. If you stick your head out of the window, you can see the black-red mushroom cloud rising in the center of the city. And if they woke up a little earlier, they would still be able to see the rapidly decreasing rain of blood and the gradually brightening dawn sky.
"What's going on? What's going on? The Avalonians are coming?"
"Holy crap, which alchemist's workshop exploded?"
People who don’t know the truth have already dispersed their sleepiness as soon as they were awakened from their sleep. His heart was beating wildly with half uneasiness and half fear. In order to vent his inner fear, he cursed and speculated.
But those who knew part of the truth frowned even more.
In the city of Leipzig, some Rosicrucian members speculated: "Earl Daun had just passed away, and an explosion of this magnitude occurred. Was this to kill the winter devil in his body?"
Those who knew more were even more frightened: "That's the direction of Pilotti Manor... Why did Earl Daun just die and something happened to the Hong Prime Minister's son again?!"
On this basis, those who know more - for example, those children of the Moon who know that Red has strong hostility to Earl Daun, and high-level demonologists who know that this vision is the coming of the Night Demon, At this moment, everyone was restless and sweating profusely: "What's going on? The Society and Hong Xiang finally started fighting?"
—The civil war has begun?
It’s no wonder they think so.
Count Daun, who has the Winter Demon hidden in his body, is an extremely deadly time bomb to the Moon Child. Although he has always maintained a relatively peaceful attitude with the Moon Child... However, that kind of peace is not weakness.
It is a rather oppressive forced "equality" - maintaining a peace led by him with the Moon Son without giving up his own interests or changing his position.
Extraordinary people on the path of love are inherently emotional and extreme. Earl Daun thought he had saved enough face for them, but under the pressure that was always there, such a close distance became a provocation and oppression, constantly provoking the sensitive nerves of the Moon Child.
Not long ago, the Red Prime Minister finally emphasized his "non-ally neutral attitude" towards Earl Daun at the Moon Son's internal meeting. To put it simply, if someone attacks, assassinates, or frames Earl Daun, then the Son of the Moon will notTo get involved.
Compared with the previous stable alliance for decades, the change in this relationship is enough to prove that the attitude of the upper-level Moon Sons towards Earl Daun has completely deteriorated - after all, for the decent Moon Sons It is not convenient for them to directly change their attitude 180 degrees.
In that case, one is not very decent...the other is some overtures that have already been made and there is no time to stop. If they were forced to stop, it would be easy to make things worse and leak information outside the circle of Moon Son.
But tonight, Earl Daun passed away quietly - the Winter Demon who could have killed an entire city of Moon Children did not move at all.
This means that the person who kills Earl Daun must be able to quickly kill a fifth-level demon incarnation, and then also be able to quickly deal with the Winter Demon. Don't let it leak outside.
Through the entire Star Antimony several times... there is actually only one person who has this motive and happens to have the ability to do this.
——That’s Hong Xiang himself!
There is no one else!
But just after Earl Daun died, not even one night... Hong Xiang’s son suddenly exploded!
Everyone knows that Dame Piloti was the title awarded by the Red Prime Minister. She was once a blood slave of Hong Xiang, and she was one of the more favored among them. After she became pregnant, the Prime Minister asked Valentine VII to give her a title so that his future children would not become illegitimate.
For the black and red duo who covers the sky with one hand and is actually the supreme guardian of Star Antimony, there is no need to even ask the king about such a trivial matter.
Red Aspect has many children on the Moon Child level... but not many children who are connected by blood.
Because the act of "birth" itself belongs to the path of love, which means that childbirth takes away more impulses from the path, which is a good thing for the red phase who has always been determined to hit the sixth energy level. A considerable weakening of this power. Therefore, he has actually been strictly controlling the number of his children... For hundreds of years, he has only five children, and only one has inherited his surname.
The youngest among them, and the one most favored by the red prime minister recently, is his youngest son Alphonse von Pilotti.
As the characteristics of those on the path of love, their emotions are mixed together. Therefore Alphonse is also considered his father's lover.
——Killing him with an explosion of this magnitude is undoubtedly some kind of provocation. Because there is no need to make such a big fuss with someone who can kill him...
They are just extraordinary beings of the fourth level. A strong player elsewhere, but nothing at all in Leipzig. Not to mention, Alphonse had been transformed for less than five years, and even including his lifespan as a human, he was only in his early twenties.
For such a young Moon Child, and without any combat experience... without considering life-saving equipment, even a third-level transcendent canKill him by leapfrogging.
The demonologists who have more profound knowledge of demons are even more convinced of this.
Because they know that the rain of blood in the sky at this moment is the characteristic of the Night Demon.
And it just so happens...
In the Rosicrucian Society, there is a strong man whose demon incarnation is the Night Demon!
"...Did Miss Sprengel take action? I really miss it..."
At this moment, a dignified, white-haired man from the Leipzig police station The pale old man murmured in a low voice: "Is this...the association's revenge on Hong Xiang?"
"...Miss Sprengel?"
In his words Opposite, Inspector Weiner, who was yawning and packing up documents, asked with some confusion: "I have never heard you mention this person you are talking about... Who is this person?"
< p>Inspector Wiener, who had stayed up all night to deal with the incident at the White Dove Opera House, looked exhausted at the moment.It was precisely because of this that his old boss kept him by his side.
While other colleagues had gone to Pilotti Manor, they were the only two people left in the office.
His name is written on the sign in front of the old man's desk:
Frank Schumacher, First Class Police Inspector. The old man is the highest-ranking policeman here in Leipzig.
He is the same police inspector as Weiner... Although he is only two levels higher than his third-level police inspector, he is actually a veteran policeman with forty years of experience. If he hadn't offended the nobles above, he would have been promoted to police supervisor based on his seniority.
And Inspector Weiner knew that Old Frank had another identity - he was a secret partisan, just like himself.
They all joined the Rosicrucian Order... Old Frank was his guide.
It is precisely because of this relationship that the two police officers, who are more than 40 years apart and can almost be said to be two generations of grandparents, are so close.
In Star Antimony, there are various secret societies. Each association has its own taboos and its own scope. Relying on the internal relationships of the association, they will share various social resources with each other very enthusiastically. This is one small exclusive circle after another.
They are theoretically illegal, but as the saying goes - it is not illegal if it is not discovered.
As for a secret society that can be discovered, can it still be considered a "secret"?
In a broad sense, whether it is the gatherings often held by the Red Prime Minister at the "Red Castle" or the "closed academic meetings" of the Wang Li Alchemy Association, it can be regarded as a kind of association. Although they are all extraordinary beings of Star Antimony, before they belong to Star Antimony, they first belong to their own association.
Among many associations, the Rosicrucian Order is also one of the most powerful and highest-level associations.
"Miss Anna Sprengel...she is considered one of the strongest people in Star Antimony."
OldInspector Frank leaned back and said slowly: "But strictly speaking, she is not a Star Antimony person. She is a genuine Imperial person."
"...What?"
Inspector Weiner was surprised: "She is an elf?"
"Absolutely...she is a half-elf with three-quarters of the blood. But what allowed her to live for so long , It’s not her blood, but her strength.”
The energetic white-haired old man stood up with some nostalgia and opened the window: “I had the honor to meet her once when I was a child. In other words, she is considered the founder of Rosicrucian. It is said that she is a descendant of Fontanelle, and there is a night devil hidden in her body——
"As you know, the night devil appears. One of the characteristics of the game is the sudden fall of night, the rain of blood in the sky, and the fact that the water source will temporarily turn into blood. Although it is sunny outside now, it seems that the downpour just now is just an illusion, but..."
He sniffed the air gently and hummed softly: "The smell of blood is too obvious. ”
“This means that the Night Demon only appeared for a brief moment. "
Inspector Weiner immediately said: "In other words, her power was only revealed for a brief moment...Hey, wait? During the Empire..."
At this moment, Inspector Weiner suddenly recalled the key knowledge.
He looked surprised: "But... the demonologist suppressed Isn’t the system of the demon within the body developed by us Star Antimony people? ”
He remembered that although the world’s earliest demonologist, Jean de Fontanelle, developed this profession, he did not have the ability to suppress the incarnation of demons at all.
His final result was that he also became a demon.
Just like "Is there any relationship between the transformed Moon Child and his predecessor?", "Is there any relationship between the incarnation of the devil and the demonologist himself?" also belongs to a philosophy. Problem.
It’s just that the various theories of the former are generally considered to be related by the philosophical community due to the strong sponsorship and assassination of the Moon Son; while demonologists believe that the devil incarnation is another person who has nothing to do with them. The soul of the relationship is a real "demon"
It was driven by this idea that Xing Antimony developed the necromancy and preservation techniques of the Dusk Path to suppress the demons in the body.
"Who knows? I don't know how Miss Sprengel survived...but she did survive to this era, and she still looks as young, beautiful and passionate as a girl. "
Inspector Frank looked at the mushroom cloud that was gradually dissipating with some confusion: "I was lucky enough to see her take action. At that time, she used a certain technique to summon this kind of dark cloud like evil fire. ’
“——From the corpse of the enemy.”
At this moment.
In the dilapidated Pilotti Manor, Aleister slowly opened his eyes.
The Night Demon was hugging her tightly, keeping his shadow-likeThe black and gray wings gradually folded. Then, the stone statue of a girl, who looked like she was shedding blood and tears, came over and gently kissed Aleister's cheek with her lips as cold as jade.
Subsequently, Night Demon transformed back into the crow state from a burst of dark red lightning.
Aleister did not panic at all - because Aleister could sense the state of the Night Demon at all times.
But Night Demon was in very good condition at this time. In other words... this spectacular explosion did not break her shield at all.
She hugged the little crow and praised: "It's really amazing, Vines... An explosion of this magnitude can't hurt you at all."
"...No."
On the contrary, Vignes himself rejected Aleister's compliment with a somewhat complicated mood: "This has nothing to do with me...or, in other words, I blocked this blow. It can be said that there can be no surprises."
"Huh?"
Aleister was a little surprised: "Why?"
" ——Because this is a skill of the Night Demon series."
Vines replied: "Theoretically, I can do this.
"It's just that this move is necessary." You have to plant power in the opponent's soul in advance...and let the opponent wear the corresponding 'curse attractor' to trigger it. In other words..."
"This is a 'ritual spell' that is only effective for friendly forces, right? . ”
She only spoke halfway before Aleister understood.
Such a complex ability is obviously not suitable for use in battle. Basically, it can only be used in cases of betrayal.
And because its damage composition is completely cursed, it cannot break the Night Demon's defense at all...
Hearing this, the Night Demon became a little anxious: " I would never use such power against you——"
"——Of course, of course, I know. "
Aleister quickly interrupted and quickly touched the crow to comfort him.
Fortunately, the Mirror Demon seemed to be scared away by the sudden explosion, otherwise this Sometimes he might suddenly jump out and taunt...
That would be bad.
Aleister is very worried that it will be beaten to death by the angry Night Demon.
——This is the night demon who once had the mark of rage!
