Black Scepter Chapter 11: Unhappy beginning

>For His Majesty Hasselblad, the news that the "creed" conveyed to himself these days is definitely not optimistic1. *"Upload of Wu Jiu Literature Book Friends"

Alternatively, he started to understand why Morpheus could kill half the continent and was killed by countless military organizations. With the report in hand, Hasselblad Mokladi felt a cry of laughter.

Twenty-seven assassinations, even the driver of the Morpheus team failed to hurt a hair. To be honest, from the historical record, the statistics of attacks against various monarchs in the mainland have never heard of anyone who is so dense. I survived the assassination, but Morpheus did it, and I pulled out more than half of the masterminds who planned the assassination along the way. I also knocked this group of fools one after another.

Are they nobles? Did the long-term comfort make their heads rust? Where is the set that is usually intriguing?

"It can only be attributed to the fact that they used the wrong way 1." Heto, who was standing not far from His Majesty Hasselblad, whispered and concluded that there are still a few pieces full of various contents in his hand Parchment, "Assassination, poisoning, their methods may be useful for nobles of the same level or lower, but from the perspective of the difference in strength, it seems that these 27 assassinations are concentrated together."

"Not that the nobles are incompetent, but that guy is too strong."

This is Heto’s summary. He never seemed calm. He seemed to have some helplessness. Another piece of parchment in his hand spread out. He continued: "Gadin is a bit ashamed of his failure. I think this You can’t blame him, a pure magician, the farther away from politics, the better, but he mentioned that Morpheus and a knight beside him have exceeded the Holy Grail knight..."

"Huge empire, no one can stop him?" His Majesty Hasu carried his hand on his back and shook his head. "It's invincible in East and West Palice, can't all the power of Buttigia add up to him? An individual?"

"I think the consequences of an "asymmetric war" will not be what you want to see."

Hetto gave his opinion in a low voice-"asymmetric warfare" is a form of warfare, that is, when the strong and large number of parties attack the weaker party, the weaker party goes against the convention and causes the war to not end. The tactical means, to put it bluntly, means that Buttigia did not beat Morpheus, but if played, Morpheus alone would bring heavy and unnecessary losses to the royal family. [Just find the novel material]

"The royal family will not allow a very threatening guy to exist on the territory."

"But you don't know what he is going to do, Gading said he also doesn't understand Morpheus's intentions, open the portal of time and space? This requirement sounds more like making Gading difficult, if he can't, Carlo--"

"Let a member of the Golden Compass Council conflict with the goal he was ordered to protect? This is not a viable solution."

His Majesty Hasselblad sighed, "It's really shameful to say that the majestic Mocledy Royal Family can't be beaten by a kid."

Before waiting for Heto to say anything, the door of the hall was knocked. After being allowed to enter, the court guard brought a message that made His Majesty Hasu even more troublesome-Morpheus and his party have arrived in the Royal City of Buttigia .

"Schedule a direct meeting."

His Majesty Hasselblad rubbed his ten fingers on the ring symbolizing kingship, hesitated for a moment, and finally gave the order.

.........................................................................................................

For Morpheus, the moment he entered the imperial city of Buttigia, he seemed to see what he expected in the future of his territory.

Tall city walls, amazingly wide streets, commercial areas that can’t be seen at a glance, a wide river bordering the distant sea, countless harbors, tall ships and bustling crowds.

There is a faint smell in the city, which is a major feature of Balice’s exports of spices from various countries on the mainland. From East Balice, they looked at these shops as if they had entered the metropolis for the first time. When it was too late to find any place, a team of knights in silver armor came straight towards the convoy in the middle of the street, stopped in front of Morpheus and expressed their intentions, then escorted a group of people to the palace.

"Hisser, how do you feel about this place?"

Morpheus asked the big man who was betrayed by Buttigia in the carriage, and it can be seen that after Hesser entered Buttigia, his mood was significantly lower. He was not talking to everyone in the team with a big voice. Laughing, but sitting in the corner of the carriage like a slap. []

For the question of Morpheus, he thought about it and replied in a hoarse voice: "Once I thought it was a hospitable and friendly city, and I did think so in the past five years, until-- "

"What you encountered has nothing to do with the city, it has to do with the rulers." Morpheus pointed to himself. "Byzantine's Inquisition still holds a wanted order against me, and my father and family are there. , I will not hate a city because of some upper-level decisions1."

"It doesn't feel good." Heisel sighed. "Hegel is also like this. I know that my brain can't understand the relationship between these things, but I understand that his pain is greater than mine. Much deeper."

"Revenge will only bring a moment of pleasure, and those who regard revenge as a lifelong wish will not fall into the abyss on the road of revenge, or they will lose all hope after the end of everything and fall into complete confusion," Morpheus It seems to be remembering something, "A long time ago, an old guy who likes to smoke a cigarette told me this way. At that time, I just nodded in ignorance, but now, I understand a little bit why he would rather stay in a broken village in peace. Lifelong wish."

In the carriage, Andariel, not far from Morpheus, turned his eyes to the window, and looked at the words of Morpheus just now, but the little girl who cares about her legs still pursed her lips.

"My teacher always said a word to me," Heysel stretched out his hand to try to straighten his beard, "he said;'You guy who is not much smarter than the Northland Bear, the best thing to do The thing is not to kill people on the battlefield, but to teach people.'Now I want to come, I really should listen to him."

"Interesting suggestions." Morpheus has never heard of a tutor telling his students the direction of life in this way, "He has many students?"

"No, the teacher is the only student in my life."

Heysel's narrowed eyes seemed to be flashing, and he took a deep breath. He was strangely silent, and he seemed unwilling to continue talking about this topic.

The carriage stopped and the door was opened by Hegel. This nominal Lord of Lampard had some inexplicable entanglement, and whispered: "We walk to the chamber, Hessel..."

"Follow."

Morpheus patted the big shoulder, got up and walked off the carriage, then turned to look at Andalil, and said to Jeanna: "Pay attention to safety."

The soul knight Jeana nodded and followed the team in the other direction with Andalier who had not left the carriage1.

While Morpheus, Hegel, and Heisel stepped towards the most central area of ​​the Balice Empire, Hydera disappeared.

After the large and magnificent porch, the traces of countless years of cultural accumulation are displayed in front of Morpheus in this palace. Sculptures, oil paintings, gold and silver utensils and even simple tables and chairs of different periods all show a The background behind the powerful empire, Morpheus understands that what he really is now is facing the rulers and rulers of an empire with "personal".

What should I say?

Now Morpheus is no longer like the previous introvert. After all the battles and constant preparations, he has figured out how to deal with what he may face next.

In the end, the party did not come to the Chamber where the emperor usually discussed the state with the Prime Ministers, but stopped in front of a slightly hidden room and pushed the door in, but the number of people appeared directly in the field of vision. Figure.

The six swordsmen and knights in the top six of the empire, the four big Archmages and a few unidentified characters stand on both sides, and the stars and the moon highlight the golden and red robe of His Majesty Hasselblad. Above the throne, with a simple crown, pale hair, and a pure gold emblem symbolizing power, Hasselblad Mokleti appeared in front of Morpheus in a very direct way.

"Here, you are guests, but you may also be the enemy."

The face-to-face is an extremely simple sentence that defines the nature of the conversation for both parties of the meeting.

The door behind closed, and His Majesty Hasselblad did not look down on the three people in front of him with a predominant attitude, but reached out and motioned for Morpheus and others to sit on the armchairs that had been prepared a long time ago. Leddy, the current patriarch of the Mocledy family, the monarch of the Balice Empire." Hasselblad looked at Morpheus with a direct and hypocritical look.

"Morpheus Windsor1,."

Morpheus did not try to overwhelm the majesty the emperor, just continued: "It seems that you are a little disappointed, I took your two former men and you sat opposite you, not going to give them Some explanation?"

"Explain that if it is useful, then there will not be so many wars in this world." Hasselblad's eyes swept over Hegel and Heysel, as if they were only trivial little characters, "As I did not ask you to give me As for the explanation of the war in the East Palice Empire, you and I know that this makes no sense, and the purpose of my invitation to you is not to discuss some meaningless topics."

Hegel squinted silently, while Heysel looked complex, but for this majesty who had sincerely affirmed himself, his heart lost more than hatred.

"About war?"

Morpheus understand~IndoMTL.com~ The main game is coming.

"In addition to war, what else can make a country's population and economic strength decline significantly within a few months?" His Majesty Hasu opened his arms, staring at Morpheus with a sense of oppression: " You, as the wanted criminal ordered by the heretical ruling, led the war to this country and brought inevitable disasters to my subjects, and now the empire is still in the dark cloud of war-and you, a twenty-year-old Boy, can I be responsible for this?"

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, because I don't see any signs that you are responsible for it."

Morpheus spread its hands and said slowly: "It’s not you who drove off the aggressor, nor you who drove out the blood. Brother's words come against me."

"Young man, are you planning to end this conversation?"

His Majesty Hasu narrowed his eyes, and the mages and guards on both sides raised their weapons at the same time—in an instant, the atmosphere of the entire conference hall dropped to freezing point!
