Black Scepter Chapter 44: Feast (5000 words)

>"A desperate bet is not a good idea. What Barriche can take out has basically been shown to the monarch, but it seems that they are not satisfied with ordinary gold and silver jewelry, and they don’t look down on those enchanters. Magic props, to be honest, we have been passive, M"

Herto still took out a piece of parchment and read the content above, "The price paid for this voyage is beyond imagination. If the burden is increased, the national treasury can only last for three years according to the current income. , For Morpheus... at present we can't have complete confidence to deal with his strength."

“As far as the level of magicians is concerned, the existence of the Golden Compass Council prevents us from easily moving him, but there are more than just these machines on that continent, the real strongmen are completely comparable to the Council Masters, even...they also have A stronger presence."

"But this does not mean that they will help Barrich cut some guys." Heto put away the parchment in his hands. "You know, guys who are powerful to a certain level often don't care about gold and silver assets. Or fear the power, they—"

Herto's words suddenly stopped, and His Majesty stopped the movement at the same time. Both of them just felt something wrong-because the huge floor-to-ceiling window just suddenly seemed to flash a shadow.

Almost at the same time, the door of the closed conference hall was gently knocked.

His Majesty Hasu frowned, his fingers lightly touched the Neapolitan short steel sword in his waist, and Herto took a step back, his hands stretched into his sleeves, and he pinched a few Scrolls-Although his strength is not worth mentioning, the value of these scrolls is enough to solve some crappy assassins in his hand.

"Come in."

Knowing that the next man will not knock on the wooden door at this time, His Majesty Hasu whispered.

The wooden door opened, but the person who came was far beyond his majesty's expectations-not only the identity, but also the image of the other party.

Morpheus walked into this conference hall in plain clothes and said straightforwardly: "A little surprised why I came?"

Compared to the arrogant posture and fearlessness of the last time I came here, this time Morpheus is not a frivolous youth, but has a calm and unshakable posture. He stood before Hasselblad. Shrugging, "I'm a little bit puzzled about your courier's request."

"Or, it's quite puzzling."

"Are you going to deny the fact that the elves settled in your territory?"

Hasselblad immediately understood the reason why Morpheus came here, but he was very surprised that Morpheus came here. It was a bit too decisive and quick. It stands to reason that the messenger team should have just arrived in Sisselin today, but he is right now. There was no time to investigate anything, so I had to hard-wire Morpheus's "lightning strike".

"I think you made a mistake," Morpheus narrowed his eyes. He was almost as close to Hasselblad. His voice was also deeper than before. "Is there any elves in my territory? Their living conditions Otherwise, it doesn’t seem to have any connection with the royal family."

"You live in Balice, and I am the monarch of Balice." Hasselblad tried to pull back a city, but the Morpheus that came and went to the palace was like a no-man's land, but there was no slight change. However, he had no choice but to continue: "I just seek cooperation-a deal, not a strong buy and a strong sell."

"I understand that in the eyes of politicians, the population can also be counted as a commodity, but the point I need to make clear is that the elves in my territory, no one can move." Morpheus is not interested in such unnecessary negotiations To talk nonsense, "They are already the last elven group on this continent. If I agree to your request, it will mean blasphemy everything I believe."

This sentence changed the face of His Majesty Hasselblad, but Morpheus did not make the monarch not directly come to Taiwan, staying in the front line for a better date, and leaving more ways for yourself than setting up an inconsistency. It’s important for the enemy to come. In many cases, the last straw that overwhelmed the camel came from his unrelenting attitude towards someone. Although he broke into the palace strongly, Morpheus changed his attitude in the following way: "I I don’t want to be completely stalemate with the royal family. After all, it’s not good for you and me. You have your needs. I have my needs. As long as there is no conflict, the royal family seems to be in urgent need of the genie. Species?"

His Majesty Hassu sighed imperceptibly, then sat on the throne and said: "The elves settled in Sisselin. I do not interfere. I just hope to exchange ten elves with resources. The purpose is very simple, for politics Diplomatic things."

Morpheus whispered, said: "You don't need to think about this, I will not give elves, but when it comes to political diplomacy, it seems that when I came here, I saw a batch of new fleets staying at the seaside port?"

Actually, Morpheus didn’t see any fleet at all. The complete news came from the report of the creed. When Irindal returned, he immediately investigated the latest trends of the interior of the royal family, and returned from the voyage. The fleet naturally attracted the attention of Morpheus-in the past, he did not understand what it means to link the words "voyage fleet" and "political diplomacy", but in the dragon realm, Corian taught him more than just strength. It's that simple.

"It seems that if the elves arrive in Buttigia, then they will embark on a voyage to another continent?" Morpheus seems to inadvertently mention this, squinting and looking out the window, "far and close attack , This is a strategy that is always worth learning and executing, isn't it?"

Your Majesty Hasu felt cold at the moment. He did not expect that Morpheus would really notice these minutiae and organize them to point to the point-he had to admit that the guy in front of him had already depended on himself from the beginning The force and the stunned head of the backing turned into a true "lord".

"The voyage of the voyage did not gain much, but I think those countries across the sea need to establish diplomatic relations." Hasselblad squinted his palms open. "Conquest by force is not desirable, but it can represent the wonders of Ballice The precious treasure cannot satisfy the needs of those monarchs, and the elves are the only ones that I believe are sufficient now."

"But you have a hard stubble, and there is no way to rob it by force, right?" Morpheus pointed to himself like a joke, sitting in the armchair beside him, "so change the statement , If I will give you elves, what are the conditions you give."

There seems to be hope?

Hassu raised his eyebrows. Although he knew he was at a disadvantage, he still had to seize this opportunity--"Excessive tax reductions are all enough to allow Sisselin to use the three winter food reserves and more territories. ."

Morpheus didn’t say much about these non-specific conditions, but asked in a soft voice: "Sicelin City is going to open a magical academy. I know that "Phoenix", "Frost" and "Rock Dragon" are Empires The three pillar colleges, but in Sisselin, I want to build a college of sufficient size, what do you think of this?"

This sentence is equivalent to the condition of direct opening. Hasselblad suppressed his inner ecstasy and hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Mage resources can be temporarily borrowed, but they will not be used by you in wartime, but a school will be opened. The amount of money required is indeed not a small number-to be honest, Sicelin’s current annual tax income is not enough to set up a magic academy for three years. If you want me to bear the costs, then I may need more than It was ten elves at the expense."

"I didn't say to use elves to exchange with you, don't get this wrong first."

Morpheus waved his hand and got up to signal that Hasselblad came down to the window.

Unknown, Hasselblad left the throne and looked out of the huge window of the conference hall-this could have directly overlooked the central garden of the entire palace and the Boutiga street further away, but at this moment, all this was Covered by a huge figure.

Hedra stood quietly in the center of the entire royal garden as if resting in his lair, crushing the beautiful fountain in the middle, collapsing the originally organized corridor, and its huge body basically filled this. In the garden full of greenery, even if the wings are closed, they still touch the tall towers in the palace on both sides.

Compared to the last performance of Hydera here, it does not have open teeth and claws, no roaring screams, just the six heads lazily looking at the room where Morpheus is located, this momentum is enough for anyone Unbearable.

The security measures in the palace have completely failed, and the mages, swordsmen, and knights have no idea how to deal with the dragon in front of it-because each of its heads is as big as a house, each The teeth are longer than the length of the knight's rifle. Its volume has made Archmages wonder where to attack-what if the one is hit in the head and five are left?

Fortunately, Hydera remained motionless there, but everyone believed that it would only be a matter of time until the dragon spread its wings and the palace was destroyed.

"Look, there is an orthodox dragon knight in your country, which is more effective than any Archmage, right? In terms of strategy, you now have an ace-oh, I’m not bragging , I can destroy the troop troop of any country on the mainland at present. You also understand what this means."

Morpheus said very relaxed, but it was another sentence that made the heart of His Majesty Hasu just warmed into Bing Tuo-obviously His Majesty understood that the identity of Morpheus can no longer be used as a "powerful mage" and "Having Yalong pets" to summarize.

Damn, this is a pure blood dragon! There have been no traces on the mainland for hundreds of years!

The body shape of hundreds of meters has determined Hydera’s strategic position, and the Morpheus with Hydera has an unimaginable "worth" in reality-this time Hasselblad dare not treat him as an enemy Now, because that kind of consequence may directly change the royal family's name and surname!

"Assemble a resource for a magical academy, share the logbook and the intelligence, do you think this condition is excessive?" Morpheus turned his head and said to His Majesty Hasselblad in front of the window.

"But you said you wouldn't exchange it with elves, would you want me to pay for nothing?" Hasselblad tightened his eyes, apparently in shock, he had already made the worst plan.

Morpheus did not answer directly, but took out a shiny fruit from his robe.

The fruit from the tree of Hida.

"The only treasure that the elves carry is invaluable to human beings. I think an orthodox high-level mage should understand that if you doubt its value, you can leave it to three Great Institute of Magic to study." Morpheus gently lifted this fist-sized round fruit and put it on Hasselblad's palm. "I don't hand over the elves, but I choose to exchange them with you for the treasures that the elves treasure, Do you think it works?"

"This is"

As a Knights of the Round Table, Hasselblad who has already passed the i-th rank is not an opponent of Morpheus, but obviously he can also perceive the powerful soul energy contained in the fruit in his hands-this is not worth mentioning for Morpheus As far as His Majesty Hasselblad is concerned, it is a dew that can make great strides forward!

In other words, the fruit in your hand is the best way to break through the bottleneck.

It is far less valuable for professionals below the i-level than their own Knights of the Round Table, which has been stuck in the bottleneck for a long time. Obviously, the effect of this fruit hit His Majesty Hasselblad. He slowly raised his head, Straightforward: "Just one?"

Morpheus seemed to anticipate his reaction. He reached out again and took out a fruit, and gave it to the monarch: "This is the reward I got for my hard work. There are three in total. I took one to prove it. In view of its value, the other two are suitable for other resources, isn't it?"

He very cleverly blamed the reason for his soaring strength on the role of this fruit, and cut off the reason why the emperor continued to open his mouth.

"I will hand it over to the three colleges for research. If you approve its value, then everything is easy to say." Hasselblad experienced the ups and downs of his heart in a few minutes. Although he didn’t get the elves, he got it more in his opinion. Precious fruit-For both parties, this result should already be considered the best negotiation result.

"Then I will not say more about the follow-up matters, I think I need a hand to let your messengers return, and then I will continue to be busy with my own affairs," Morpheus took a step back and stood in front of the windowsill, "as Sincerity said, I will put the two fruits in your hands first, and there will always be a sincerity in the transaction, right?"

It's really "sincere" enough.

Your Majesty Hasu couldn’t help but scolded her heart, but nodded her head, and accepted the result. After taking a pen and paper from Herto, she handed it to Morpheus.

"Our cooperation will continue, if you are willing to maintain this friendship."

Morpheus grinned, turned over and jumped out of the window sill, jumped directly over the huge dragon head of Hydera, and then disappeared into the afterglow of the sunset in the fierce airflow fanned by the dragon wings

Lilith was a little depressed when she was in Cecilin.

She confessed to the guy she liked, but the results she got were neither good nor bad—rejected? Well, Lilith didn't seem to be surprised by this result, but she was obviously rejected, but her psychology was not desperate.

It seems that she has been thinking for a long time before she understands why she feels this way. That is because Morpheus does not abandon anyone coldly in her heart. Many times, feelings are not something that can be qualitative in one sentence or two, such as Does Morpheus like yourself?

Lilith can be sure that he likes it—so as for the others, what do you do so much?

Walking in this gradually developed city, Lilith, as a Byzantine person, has also experienced a "exotic style", eat some flavor snacks, try on some beautiful dresses, from the dark Aran After Tees came out, her mood was also a lot brighter with the sunshine, but just after returning to Earl's Court, she saw an elf in a white and red robe standing in front of her.

Ilindal looks like a public official, raising his hand and handing a letter to Lilith: "Letter from Byzantine."

After finishing this sentence, she passed by with Lilith. The cold feeling that she didn’t even see at a glance made Lilith inexplicable, but she was not stupid, knowing that the elf who had just walked in front of her was Morpheus territory. The head of the intelligence agency inside is, of course, a figure of the Duke of Azshara-but when she thinks of the frosty Duke, she looks a little weird.

Tear the letter in the hand while walking, and the wax seal has the emblem of the Lankinus family, which shows that the letter was written by the father of his prince, but the content made her a little surprised-the father had already been from Morpheus learned that he came to West Sellin ~IndoMTL.com~ but has never made any requests, but this time Byzantine seems to be preparing a grand celebration to celebrate West facing the Holy Gabriel Empire The battle and the north faced the victory of Kaslandi and Nale.

The scale of this celebration is unprecedented. The Byzantine has not had a similar celebration for decades. Prince Hades said very seriously that the continuous war has led to the creation of countless upstarts and old The nobility withdrew, and the followers of the empire's political situation changed a lot, and as the prince's daughter, Lilith should also start thinking about her marriage at this moment.

"What marriage problem is really annoying."

Lilith pouted, skipped that paragraph with a headache, and then saw a "heavyweight" content-Emperor Byzantine was going to hold a "feast" to stimulate people to participate in this event, This is also a good time for Morpheus to alleviate the crimes and regain its prestige-every time such an event, the emperor will conduct an "amnesty", and prison prisoners will be reduced or even released

And this is a great opportunity for Morpheus who commits "treason", "blasphemy", and is characterized as "heretics"-to accept the personal pardon of the imperial monarch, if the time is right, then Morpheus Restoring the original identity is not a fool's dream. (..)
