Black Scepter Chapter 63: I will go with you 1 (five k)
【I just arrived home, the update is a bit late, sorry! 】
Whether the Theological Encyclopedia can sublimate the soul, Morpheus will not categorically give an affirmative or negative answer, but the book can make people have a broader horizon, which is an indisputable fact-even Andariel and Jeanne Ashcandi, when he is idle, will turn over the books at hand, because they are generally higher than ordinary people who understand the simplest truth.
The top ten families used to be invisible to Morpheus, but now they are no longer so conspicuous-many things are like this, they are unfathomable when they are not clearly seen, they really bottomed out, but they found that the other party is just like this Even a family such as Varian Consanas seems to Morpheus to be a family with more resources. The family is always a family. Compared with the empire, they may become a family A solid skeleton, but in the end it is impossible to match an entire empire. After the terrifying battle with Mars, Morpheus has received one handwritten letter from all the patriarchs of today's top ten families one after another. The importance of its attitude and the high specifications are unprecedented.
But Morpheus doesn’t have any excitement or excitement at all-this emotion can only be produced by people who worship and fear the top ten families, but now he simply sees these families covering the entire continent as "strategic partners" ".
The long-distance close attack, this strategy Morpheus is still carried out.
The gifts from the top ten families are extremely heavy, and the keel guards sent by the champion of swordsmanship competition are also packaged and sent to Morpheus for their subordinates in Balice as welfare. They leave nothing behind. I met Ashcandi, Andariel and Jeanne d’Eal at dinner, and talked to the Duke about some of the current political situation of the Byzantine, did not attend any dinner, and ignored the letters written by the admirers who could be packed in carriages.
It can be said that Morpheus, which has been high-profile before, is completely silent after this peak battle, and has barely appeared in the public even once.
However, Palfa, an old housekeeper who knows the inside story, can feel that Morpheus has steadily become the heir of "excellent" or even "unprecedented" in these few days, and several chatting with the Duke at dinner time Girls, it’s scary to say which one you say.
Andariel seems to have found the first life goal she wants to achieve today-after witnessing the battle between Morpheus and the Queen of the Red Eye and Mars, this talented "pagan" I hope that I can go further in my divine accomplishments and start a hard and selfless practice. In contrast, Joan, who witnessed Morpheus deter the entire trial seat with personal strength at the Inquisition and made the other party speechless, said that she was not shocked. It's impossible, but Morpheus didn't deny her belief, which made Jeanne feel inexpressible to Morpheus in her heart.
What is faith?
She began to wonder in her heart and hope to find real answers in books and life.
And Ashcandi sits quietly next to Morpheus at mealtime, without mentioning why the red eyes queen appeared and disappeared--Morpheus did not ask, the emotion between the two It has not faded, and occasional eye contact is still gentle and quiet.
Trust is the premise of love.
The Duke Acar who has been busy all day has brought some good news to Morpheus-the next task of the whole event Morpheus has become extremely easy, because no one has the courage to challenge the strength of Morpheus privately, he only needs Three days later, you can participate in the exhibition competition of the Gladiator competition and make appearances together with Edward III at the closing ceremony.
However, the quiet life did not last long. At night, a few candles suddenly lit up in the originally quiet Duke’s Palace.
The Morpheus, who was supposed to be in the study, stepped into the lobby. He raised his hand and lighted the candle with the elements to make the room bright. He walked to the door without expression and reached away with his hand.
"If something happens, just come in and talk, I’m not interested in waiting too long."
Morpheus put down this sentence like talking to the air and turned back to the interior of the living room, sitting on the armchair of the main seat-this position is the seat of the Duke of Acar and also represents the position of the patriarch of the Windsor family. .. Obviously, in the face of this visitor in the middle of the night, Morpheus greeted the arrival of the other party in this important identity, and it has proved that the coming person is not as simple as expected.
The dark night was outside the open door, but at the next moment a figure appeared quietly. He stood in front of the Windsor Duke’s Palace for a few seconds, and seemed to be looking at the young figure in the room who was not looking at himself. Finally stepped in.
A red and black robe, two folded bat wings, a frost-faced and meticulous hairstyle William? Kleinman appeared again in front of Morpheus.
"The Duke's Palace of Windsor...that Yi Zuer also went out from here."
William who entered the door did not take Morpheus into his eyes. He looked at the ornaments and paintings around him, whispering like a comment: "A family that has not been around for a long time, after experiencing ups and downs I can still stand on top of the peak again, I am curious how you did it."
This bloodline strongman who has left the title of "Prince" came across the Morpheus and sat directly, looking at the young man without any strangeness: "There is no'rule of law' here, I miss you There is no need to go tricks with me."
"I have heard of your performance at the contest, regardless of true or false, the strength is indeed commendable, so I..."
"Prepare to ‘snap and hand over’?”
Morpheus directly interrupted the arrogant king-level vampire, "Let me reason... In the face of my mentor Della and the mother of pain, you know that you are invincible and retreat, wait until everything is appropriate and suitable When the reason is, you appear in front of me again, are you ready to "discuss" the so-called cooperation with me in this attitude?"
His gesture of sitting in a chair is not afraid at all, looking at the blood monarch in front of him, Morpheus looks very different from when he first looked at him.
While William obviously noticed these details, his deep experience was enough to make him understand many things in an instant, so when he spoke again for a moment, his tone had lost a little arrogance, and he brought questions: " The realm of the Dragon family can be opened for mortals, which is really what surprised me—"
He paused slightly, and seemed to be thinking about the wording, and finally whispered: "The scepter of Sulfuras was destroyed, the strength of the blood race is weakened overall, and after the battle in the city of West Sellin, I tried to warn everyone , But the results are as you can see, with little success."
"No matter how normal it is, you sleep too long and forget how much hatred vampires are." Morpheus was against William's arrogance, but did not refuse to discuss certain issues with the other party. "A I still don’t know much about the story of Skandi and yours, but it’s clear that you are very obsessed with her—or that she is obsessed with you.”
"Things are not as simple as you think, don't piece together the clues of hearsay to make a self-satisfied result and then criticize others. You are not a omniscient **** or a wise saint. There are some things that do not need to be known. So detailed."
William didn’t want to mention this. Morpheus didn’t ask for anything aggressively, just following the topic just now: “What do you want to warn humans about? Invasion of other planes? I want to tell you Interesting news, I don’t know if I’m interested.”
"Want to hear the details."
Speaking of demeanor, this patriarch is regarded as first-class. Even in the face of a young man who can’t even compare to his own fraction, he has now offered his "respect"-it is not appropriate to see the wind and rudder , Because there are few people who are equal to him.
"The Angel Plane and Purgatory are in full battle."
Morpheus's faint words made William narrow his eyes instantly.
"What you are worried about has not happened yet, because these two groups of guys seem to have mistaken the battlefield-the five lords of purgatory have fallen two, it is not the angels, but the other from the abyss and the sinking. A group of demons."
Silent.
Prince William’s original preparation for rubbing his chin completely stopped, and it lasted for more than ten seconds before he recovered from the shock brought by this news-"Where did you get the news?"
"No need to ask for it."
A sudden voice rang in the corner of the living room. Ashcandy stepping out of the shadows appeared silently in front of the two. "William, after such a long time, you still like that silly trick. What?"
The red eyes flashed faintly in the dim light. Obviously, the queen who had been sealed by the "Prince William" and the elders could not forget those hatreds.
But she doesn’t seem to have liquidated it. William tells the truth that he is ready to fight at this moment-but he has seen this red-eyed Ashkandi’s grumpy temper, but unexpected It was in front of her that she sat directly next to Morpheus, and the obvious expression of expression made the Kleinman family patriarch suddenly surprised.
And then Ashcandi’s movements made him stunned. The horrifying existence of this once killing queen, facing the numerous clergy who faced the heretical ruling, actually raised his palm and gently put it On the finger of Morpheus.
What is this...demonstration?
Rao is no matter how tenacious he is, he can’t accept the sight of Ashkandi’s friendly and even ambiguous relationship with Morpheus—the more ordinary people, the more unreasonable this is, and William is a living For thousands of years old guys, of course it is clear how ridiculous a monster that has only killed in a millennium suddenly fell in love with a human...
"Forget it, I don’t want to mention those things in those days. I guess I can’t explain it before you understand your life." William escaped the topic mentioned in Morpheus before, and he didn’t dodge his eyes. Contact more, just sigh, "Well, things are beyond my expectations, but the purpose of my coming here is not to meet the two of you."
He took out a piece of parchment paper, "There has never been an unwarranted war in this world, but there will be no permanent enemies. The Kleinman family is now declining, although it has not reached the point of the elves in your territory. Obviously, our influence has dropped a lot."
"The actions of the sacred Gabriel Empire have caused you some trouble?"
Morpheus’s fingers gently clasped the silent Ashkandi-her appearance must have been the result of the green-eyed personality, otherwise she wouldn’t sleep here in the middle of the night to find the "number one enemy", he could Feeling Ashcandi's inner anger, but because he spoke in a calm tone here, Ashcandi showed amazing patience and restraint.
“It’s not simply trouble, since your source proves that you’ve been to a place like purgatory, you should understand that they aren’t just fighting the same battle on our territory—they are high planes. No matter how small a war is here, it is enough to destroy more than five countries. Don’t think that the seemingly savage guys will not pay any attention to this place...On the contrary, they no longer covet the human plane all the time."
William’s words showed his sincerity for further talks, "The Holy See has always been committed to killing the Kleinman family, but no one knows what it means."
"Shouldn’t they hunt you down?"
Morpheus shrugged, glanced back at Ashkandi, and said: "In my eyes, they seem to have the same feuds as all blood races, even if I flatten the heretical ruling, they still stop it. Not their'ambitions.'
The Queen of the Red Eyes involuntarily looked at the confident and calm Morpheus in front of her, remembering the scene where he once bombarded the entire heretical verdict, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled.
William looked at the corners of his mouth twitching in this scene, but he calmly replied: "Why do you want to kill? The relationship between the blood and the heretics court is not so sharp from the beginning, why do they leave you this impression It’s just because you are too young to know what happened three hundred years ago-there will be no history books, dictation will only be distorted facts, the only thing that can remember those truths is my old one Guy."
"The war on the mainland is really just caused by human greed? Where did their motivation come from?" William's low words made Morpheus fall into thinking-"Why have thousands of years Will countless large and small wars take place, causing countless casualties, causing lives to be burned, and genocide?"
"You mean...shouldn't human nature be like this?"
Morpheus comprehensive William’s words came to a "ridiculous" conclusion-because in his eyes, the dark side of the human heart is always lingering, even if he is strong, he still has to be in the heart Let alone mortals fight against those who deviate from morality?
"This is just a chess board, anyone is a chess piece, unconsciously chess piece." Kleinman pointed to Morpheus, "You think everything you do is correct, your efforts, your struggle, your everything, It's all judgments made under the thinking of your own brain, without anyone interfering... so you never feel that you are under control-but the most brilliant chess players are good at this method."
Fantasy Yetan's remarks.
Morpheus was a little stunned, but Ashcandi stared at William's eyes, seeming to be thinking deliberately.
"That's all I want to say. The Kleinman family once warned all human powers that no one responded. This is not a coincidence, but a huge trap. My contradiction with Ashkandi... the same— -The disappearance of the werewolf, the decline of the blood clan, and the battle of the human race are not entirely unreasonable or can only be explained by the words "natural nature"."
"With all that, the Kleinman family welcomes two people at any time. Fighting is not the only way to resolve conflicts, is it?"
Finally, the best-in-class strongman of the blood family turned to say goodbye and disappeared into the darkness.
"Do you want to ask me why?"
Ashkandi first asked Morpheus, his eyes changed from just harsh to gentle, which made Morpheus have to sigh that she was still the straight Ashkandi.
"She asked you to come?"
Morpheus is not difficult to guess the reason, but the facts behind it make him somewhat incomprehensible.
"I can feel her concern for you."
Ashkandi’s eyes turned to the door of the still open Duke’s Palace, "This is the second time...when you were in the arena, I never imagined that she would...plead me to go Help you."
The Queen's words made the atmosphere in the living room a little silent, and also made Morpheus's psychology somewhat indescribable depression.
Who does he love?
Today, Morpheus can only be said to be "Ashkandi"-even if it is the black eye aristocrat who once hated him ~IndoMTL.com~ he will not hurt her. Because when a man is willing to save a woman with the hardships of nine deaths, no matter what she will end up with, the past emotion will be as indelible as the marks carved in the atrium.
"Actually...this can only blame myself."
It was Ashkandi who was talking, she smiled helplessly, "'Ashkandi' was originally just her, and that guy and I are just extra existences, and reasonably, you just have to deal with her— —”
Before she finished speaking, she found that she had been gently embraced by Morpheus—this action **** all explanations and nonsense, and made her still slightly want to continue to say something, and then relaxed.
"Whether it's William? Kleinman, or heresy, or heaven's purgatory, those things are the past, and the things in the past... will never stop us from moving forward, will we?"
Morpheus whispered softly next to Ashkandi’s ear, the powerful queen in her arms clung to her body, and all the indifference once turned into a sentence at this time, let Morpheus close Close your eyes, as if you want to remember it forever--
"The way forward, I will go with you."
