"——Something big happened, Your Highness!"
Fenrir, the astrologer whom Prince Szijjarto trusted, suddenly stumbled from one end of the corridor to the other, his voice almost panicked. Trembling: "Something happened - are you asleep, Your Highness!"
It was almost early in the morning. Aleister drank some wine and was about to go to bed when he heard Fenrir's panic outside. There was a deafening shout.
…What’s going on?
At this point, Fenrir should go to astrology. Could this be some important information?
She frowned slightly, feeling a little anxious that her plan was unexpectedly interrupted...
That was the uncontrollable violent emotion that came from the body of the Moon Child. Aleister tried hard to suppress the desire to destroy something in his heart, changed out of his pajamas, and put on clothes that would show off to others.
Just in case, Aleister still held the little crow in his arms.
When Aleister went out, the neatly dressed honey badger was standing silently at the door, but Aleister was unaware of it.
The honey badger nodded slightly to Aleister, and the two of them went to Prince Szijjarto's bedroom in parallel.
The bedroom was not closed at this time, but there was no sound inside. When the two of them walked to the door, Aleister knocked on the door symbolically to indicate that he was here.
I saw that Prince Szijjarto had already changed his clothes, sat at the table and poured himself a cup of hot milk. Fenrir next to him was restless - that was restless in the physical sense. He sat down for a while, then stood up and walked around, as if waiting for someone.
Fenrir was relieved until Aleister and the others arrived.
"You two have arrived," Fenrir said urgently, "Can I speak, Your Highness?"
"Please speak, Mr. Fenrir."

Prince Szijjarto nodded slightly, looked back at Aleister and explained: "I think you will definitely come too, so why not explain it clearly at once. This is the least likely to cause misunderstanding."
< p>"Something really happened - I was stargazing tonight, and suddenly I saw a great omen appearing out of thin air!"Fenrir's lips were pale and his fingertips were trembling.
He emphasized as much as possible: "This is a bad omen that I have never seen before - the entire Star Antimony will be plunged into war!"
"What did you see? "
Prince Szijjarto asked patiently: "Tell me everything in detail."
"I saw that the Children of the Moon in the Red Castle were crazy - they murdered Dao. Earl En has lifted the host of the banquet into the sky through a sacred ceremony, and now begins a terrifying reckoning with all those who try to attack the Son of the Moon!"
Fenrir said hard.
At this time, Aleister's expression looked strange for a moment.
…What does it mean?
Did Hong Xiang take the initiative to take the blame?
No, let me tell you something... Aren't I the one who did these two things?
Aleister touched the crow awkwardly.
......I am also a red-faced person? When did it happen?
But this astrologer, who can see part of the future, did not understand Aleister's expression. Instead, he tried to describe the terrifying future he saw, and tried to exaggerate a kind of future that could be seen by others. Atmosphere of concern: "I also saw that our king will also die in this chaos!"
"What?"
Prince Szijjarto was stunned for a moment , suddenly became serious: "What did you see?"
"It was Hong Xiang - he personally killed His Majesty the King, and then made a speech and mobilized the Sons of the Moon across the country to initiate a civil war!"
Fenrir's pupils trembled slightly: "The Society and the Association are sending troops to resist at this time, but they are actually preparing a conspiracy to usurp power. At this critical moment, the Ziggurat and the Black Xiang was motionless!
“I also saw that the entire Star Antimony was plunged into an unprecedented civil war. Just like the former Herasl Empire, it fell apart.
“The civil war initiated by the Narcissus Territory stopped instantly. The rebel organization and the entire principality joined the Red Prime Minister’s camp, followed by the entire Black Eagle Territory—in fact, the controller of the Black Eagle Territory had already The infiltration by the Sons of the Moon under the Red Prime Minister had already been completed. The previous counter-insurgency war was progressing slowly just because they were acting together with the Narcissus Leader!
"Soon after, even the Theocracy got involved. In the chaos of war.
"The priests led the unemployed civilians, and together with Black Hawk's wandering mercenaries, they began to attack banks and strangle goblins;
"Pushed to the limit by the alchemists The botanical scholars also defected to the Son of the Moon, hoping that they would help them take revenge on the Wangli Alchemy Association. With the request of the botanists, the Sons of the Moon, who controlled the security forces, directly dispatched the fortress and the Sons of the Moon to conduct a coordinated attack.
"And those alchemists have no backbone at all, and there is no unity at all. Facing the particularly dominant red phase forces, they can be said to have collapsed at the first touch. They surrendered almost the moment they engaged in the battle. , and even many alchemists were defeated before the battle..."
Fenrir, who was wearing helmet-shaped glasses with many lenses, was talking about what he saw as if he was dreaming. The terrifying future.
At the beginning, Prince Szijjarto was still frowning, actively facing difficulties, and trying to think of solutions.
But as he listened, he only felt numbness in his scalp, and completely gave up thinking - if the situation in Xing Antimony was really going to be so chaotic, then manpower alone would not be enough. Complete the comeback. Even as Szijjarto is a prince, he cannot even guarantee his own personal safety...
There is no doubt that if the Red Prime Minister succeeds in seizing power... just in case, they will definitely consider taking Valencia All the children of Ding VII were eradicated.
WeiThe one who is likely to survive is probably Queen Louise's third son, Lucien, who is also Szijjártó's younger brother.
Lucien is the offspring of Queen Louise after she was resurrected by the red phase as the Son of the Moon. There is no doubt that his relationship with Hong Xiang will be closer... If Hong Xiang wants to establish himself as king, then even Lucien will not survive.
But there is actually another possibility, that is, Hong Xiang will not stand in front of the stage.
After all, with the fierce character of the Moon Children, they are not suitable as a monarch. In other words, if the Son of the Moon becomes a monarch, then they will inevitably become a tyrant... That is the influence from the Pillar God and Tiansi, and cannot be countered by personal reason and will alone.
——After all, this is how the rule of the Narcissus Principality collapsed in the past.
Even though there are rational and intelligent mages as the main body of core power, mages do not like to deal with complicated government affairs. For them, research and thinking are much more interesting than politics and power... So in the end, power fell into the hands of the Children of the Moon.
The result was that these willful Sons of the Moon easily brought down the country - in the early days of the split of the Herasl Empire, the Narcissus Principality had formed an alliance with the neighboring Black Eagle Principality.
And because Narcissus was assassinated by a killer mercenary from the Black Eagle Principality, the other party did not harm him at all, but just used a sword to cut his clothes in front of everyone.
So Duke Narcissus was so angry that he directly declared war on the entire Black Eagle Principality.
But the problem is that although that person is a Black Hawk person... his actions have nothing to do with the Black Hawk Principality.
The entire Black Eagle Principality is located in mountains, forests, deserts and cliffs. It is poor and lacks resources. Therefore, almost the entire country is a mercenary, relying on other countries to fight for people or work as bodyguards to make a living. There are also those who go to other countries to sell their bodies, or engage in other illegal industries... such as kidnapping, abduction, fraud, robbery, and murder.
In Black Hawk, as long as the passers-by are rich and weak, every village that is welcoming during the day may turn into a bandit's den at any time at night.
Faced with this trend, the Black Eagle Principality was unable to suppress the bandits at all. If we don't even let the bandits be fooled, then we simply don't let them live.
So the Black Eagle Principality is the country with the most lax laws among the Herasl countries - so lax that you don’t need to understand their laws at all. Because killing people here will not lead to the death penalty, at most they will only be sent to the army; and if they only commit some minor crimes such as theft, they are likely to be sent to the army. The difference is the type of military and combat intensity.
And if you initiate a public duel with your opponent in front of everyone, even if you kill the opponent, you will not be arrested - because the weak is guilty.
The entire Black Eagle Principality has one prominent theme: "Fighting! It's fun!"
In this case, everyone knows - maybe even NarcissusThe duke himself knew that his attack by the Black Hawk people had nothing to do with the Black Hawk Principality. But he still couldn't control his anger and directly led a country to start a war.
If Hong Xiang takes this situation into consideration, Lucien Valentine will be elected as the eighth generation Valentine.
In this case, there is a high probability that Prince Szijjarto will not be killed...but he will definitely be captured and turned into a blood slave.
At this time, in fact, no matter what Prince Szijjarto did, it was of no avail.
After all, the red phase and the black phase themselves are the strongest in the world. Their power can be compared with the great arbiter Meg of Avalon. They are both standing at the top of the material world on this path. The strongest.
Maybe someone can confront Hong Xiang head-on, but it is basically impossible to protect another person in front of him.
And this matter is also within the rules allowed by the Theocracy.
According to the rules of the Theocracy since its establishment, the Theocracy has neither the right nor the willingness to interfere in any internal power changes of the same nationality.
Because that is undoubtedly a case of leaning towards the authoritarian path. It would deviate from the principles of the Theocracy so far.
Once the Theocracy begins to judge whether a regime is just or not based on their own will, it means that they have embarked on the path of secretly controlling the world.
Whether a new regime is good or bad, without the influence of crude interference from external forces, whether it becomes good and accepted, or becomes bad and is overthrown, it all belongs to this The future of the country and its people should be chosen by themselves.
In other words, Szijjarto couldn't even ask for help from the outside world.
To put it another way, even if he invited reinforcements from Avalon or Iris, those reinforcements would be driven out by the Theocracy!
"...Why didn't you tell me before?"
Prince Szijjarto had to become serious and scolded Fenrir in a low voice.
"I, what I saw before was obviously not this future..."
Fenrir raised his helmet slightly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and quickly defended himself: "Just a few days ago, what I saw was that demonologists and alchemists were clearly conflicting with each other, while the Sons of the Moon were accumulating strength in the dark.
"At that time, our main enemies should be the society and the Rosicrucian Society, because I saw that they were going to hold a very dangerous ritual, and this ritual may endanger the safety of the entire Star Antimony..."
"—What do you mean by this? Can you be more rigorous, Mr. Fenrir! Could the future be changed so suddenly and easily? "
"No, how do I know..."
Fenrir opened his mouth, unable to argue.
Although the future will occasionally change, usually It's not that big. Just like the weather forecast, it says that it will be a sunny day and the temperature will rise significantly, at least it won't suddenly turn into a snowstorm.
Fenrir is a "prophet-type retainer" who helps the master he serves to avoid danger by predicting the future, but by the time he gave the warning, it was already too late.
This is like a bodyguard who calls his boss after discovering that a gangster has sneaked in at night: "Boss, a bad guy has come in."
In fact, When the boss answered the call, the gangster had been sitting next to him for a while.
——Then what’s the use of being alone?
Only Aleister probably knows what happened.
If it develops according to the previous "script", then everything will move towards the future that Aiwass knows well-the power within Star Antimony is still tangled, but until the demonologists complete the linking ring ceremony, their civil war never started.
But Aleister has obviously inherited that unique characteristic of Aiwass... There are so many causes and effects entangled in her body that any plan directed towards her will definitely encounter accidents. All predictions pointing to her will become inaccurate.
The established fate is like a powerless curse in front of her - but Aleister is immune to any curse.
"...How could this happen?"
Aleister fell into deep thought.
At first, she just became angry for no apparent reason, so she went to find out if someone had performed an evil ritual to attack her.
As a result, Aleister was like a dump truck that was led to hatred.
Following the few clues, we found Viscount Conlay, who was killed conveniently; we also found Earl Dawn, and even though he was not him, he was still killed; and then we found Alphonse— —This one wasn’t easy, but it was a quick and easy kill anyway.
After a series of chain reactions, the host of the banquet was unexpectedly promoted!
In Aiwass’s memory, the host of the banquet was not promoted to a banquet master until the end...otherwise he would definitely be able to remember such an important event. At least the host of the banquet in his memory should be "the future Yan Tiansi" instead of "the apostle of Hengwo".
Count Daun’s ritual most likely consumed the Fool’s Liver directly. But at least after the Fallen Sky Division arrived, there was no boss named "Count Daun" in Xing Antimony's copy.
So this rare material was wasted by him. Of course, it's also possible that he realized that Hong Xiang knew that this thing was in his hands... and he didn't want to give it to Hong Xiang and was worried about being harmed, so he deliberately destroyed it or took action to save his life.
——And from this perspective, the current favorable situation of the red phase really has something to do with Aleister!
After Aleister realized this, he suddenly couldn't hold himself tight.
