Black Scepter Chapter 65: If you want, then I will.
【Five Thousand Words, Ask for Monthly Ticket! 】
"I'm really looking for something to do by myself." With helpless wry smiles, Morpheus nodded without refusing, but then when he told Creevey about Mars, the short mage seemed to have very little interest. There is no intention to study—obviously his attachment is limited to the magic circle, and neither angels nor demons are concerned.
Lampard’s territory was in good condition during the time Morpheus left—sitting at Arantis, listening to the oral report of the Japanese elf Irindal, he felt that the slave trappers attracted by the Japanese elves seemed Not a bad thing...because they gave their cavalry regiment, infantry regiment, and mage regiment full combat opportunities without any sense of guilt, and at the same time, the original tension of the elves gradually stabilized, even Yilin Dahl's face was a little bit more smiling without the frowns of the past.
It's just how much other meaning the elf hides behind the expression, maybe she alone knows it.
Jeand is adapting to the new environment, and the former little nun is now abandoned by her “holy court” after many years of hardship-but she believes that she is not abandoned by faith. She still follows Morpheus to find the answer. Believe him in the past... It didn’t matter to the guy who smiled at him in the church and beat up an angel.
Andariel worked diligently to practice magic, but Ashcandi told Morpheus on the day after the party returned to Balice, a message that made him somewhat unsure how to face...Green Eye Ash Candi said indifferently that the red eyes queen would have some control time over her body-just like the black eyes aristocrats, with day and night as the boundary.
Morpheus didn’t understand why she made this decision. The answers he got straightforwardly asked him but he was silent for a while-"I only hope to help you, but most of the time, this disabled body only Can bring you drag... and she can do more."
Although this is only a decision of two personalities, Morpheus is still somewhat uncomfortable with the calmness and restraint of this gentle woman's treatment of emotions-she never seems to want to hurt others, or even take the initiative to do anything, but this does not It does not mean negative, but it is an expression of extreme softness.
So, from this day on, Morpheus will once again learn to face two women with different personalities every day, but unlike the passiveness when he just met Ashcandi, he now has all of them Same identity...
Lovers.

The atmosphere in the plane of heaven is very depressed.
The situation is no longer that these angels are considering whether they should continue to attack the purgatory, but that they are waiting for the news of the attack by Curtriline-although they are enemies, the passive sense of horses and heads is extremely aggrieved. The main angels of theirs really hurt their brains, and it was not just the battle of purgatory that distressed them. The disappearance of Mars made these main angels feel a crisis.
It is not difficult to find his whereabouts, and it did not take much effort to find his whereabouts, but this result made many people unacceptable-the main angel of the heavens, was so disabled by a mortal?
The fourteen angels led together died under Ashcandi, leaving no scum left, and Mars himself made people tear off his wings and was caught by his own under the eyes of everyone. Spear nailed to the ground!
Although few people will stand in the position of this grumpy main angel, members of the Magnus Council, who are also angels, inevitably feel humiliated.
“Ulie, don’t you just sit back and look like this? Except for Mars in the human plane, only you have been'summoned' in the last ten years, and the situation there seems to be less optimistic than we thought.”
The main angel Raphael was cold, obviously he didn’t disagree with Urie, but his words didn’t make Urie react superfluously. Waiting for the answer to this question.
"Me? Are you going in the wrong direction?"
Ulie under the hood pointed to his chest. "The human plane has been changing since the creation of the human plane. I was called to go not to participate in various empire summits. It took less than a few minutes. What can I know? To be honest, I do not like the breath of the human plane, greedy and disgusting."
This seems to be the consensus of all angels. They are silent and no longer point their fingers at Urie, but the fact that Mars failed makes them still heavy. The purgatory attack has no effect, and the human plane is frustrated. The heads of the angel plane have to start thinking about what they need now.
A victory? Or another compromise?
But at the moment in the faraway plane of purgatory, in a corner unknown to the great demon including Curtriline, three figures are meeting at the top of a black mountain.
The only three lords left in purgatory will certainly not wait for the attack of Curtriline like a fool, but these big brothers who have come and gone with each other on weekdays now naturally feel an unprecedented sense of crisis, three shadows , One of them is the only fallen angel Kosuhir with a touch of light, as for the other two... this level of existence is not necessary for the deity to come here, so these three avatars except Kosuhir They are all indistinct.
"Ketriline...the things in his hands really have to come without any effort...we have been searching for so long, but let him find such a crawler, Solanda and Phillas die Is really wrong."
The joking tone, the nagging words, and the shadows that stood in front of Kosuhir have been repeating this topic since they came here, seeming to ignore the existence of the other two lords.
"Cozuhir, you and your old friend are not very happy to meet? But it is only you who are the most fortunate to say that you have not been knocked down by the reptile. Now we are hiding in the corner like a mouse, no one dares to go Fight against him head-on... the name of the purgatory lord may only become a laughing stock in the future."
The other lord’s voice is very quiet, and it seems that he has no feelings at all—but Kosuhir seems to be the calmest of the three lords. He does not exist as a shadow, but lets himself The "avatar" became his own image, and the black and white robe hung on the ground, giving a sense of solemnity for no reason. The fallen angel who once lived on the angel plane turned his head and whispered: "Smile handle? What if it becomes a smile handle... If the purgatory lord is just to let his prestige spread, then the living is really It doesn’t make sense...I’m curious what you think about every day? Fight? Kill? Did you do that angel to the human plane?"
"Obviously the effect is not good, there will always be some strong ants on the human plane."
The purgatory lord, who always speaks with no tone, has no intention to say much, and obviously is not interested in his failure.
And the guy who talked a lot of nonsense changed his tone: "...Cozuhir, you stop the two humans intercepted by Urie...oh, it's a human and a blood race, Their identity is very interesting?"
"You missed a key piece of information-Urie did not intercept it... he, like me, did not intend to stop the two."
"Oh?"
The two purgatory lords seem to understand something, and then no longer speak, and one of them continues to say indifferently: "The order of purgatory is far simpler and stricter than that of the angel plane. Those angels who want to take advantage of it really let People think it's ridiculous, things in the human plane are not handled well, and I have to come here to find cheap accounts..."
"Why? Does anyone want to break the balance of the chessboard?"
"Finally, I can speak clearly." Cozuhir held his arms and pouted, "Did you two haven't seen the board in a long time? Chessmen... there are always One or two unbridled wild horses exist."
"The wild horse is a horse after all."
"So... are you ready to do it on the human plane?" Kosuhir raised his eyebrows. "What I'm saying is... the chess pieces in the hands of those guys in heaven, but they are no better than you. Less."
"Games always have to be evenly matched... to be interesting-for example... Is that blood family really just blood family? And that human, is it really just human?"
The black shadow standing next to the fallen angel seemed to find something very interesting. Obviously, the moment when they wanted to "show their skills" after a long silence...
"Always try it, don’t you?"

Sicerin City, dusk.
When Morpheus walked out of Arantis, he was holding a letter with a very gorgeous decoration, not from the Byzantine royal family, not even the Balice royal family, but from the Pope’s Hall of the Holy Gabriel Empire. .
It’s a bit ridiculous to say. Morpheus looked at the sacred Gabriel Empire’s number one paladin under the attention of tens of thousands of Byzantine. According to common sense, it is not an exaggeration for the sacred Gabriel Empire to declare war directly against the Morpheus-this may even lead to the direct war between the two empires... But now, when a letter is from the Pope’s Office When they were sent and placed on the palm of Morpheus, the previous "common sense" became a joke.
The sacred Gabriel Empire, whose original attitude was hard and cold, was "weak" in the letter, just like the attitude of a small neighboring country praying for the refuge of the big country and giving the time, the pope in this letter turned out to be The honorific title was used, and said, "I hope the past acts of the sacred Gabriel Empire will not be blamed."
How thick is this skin to say this?
Morpheus understands that the other party’s attitude is also reasonable — because the reason why Lampard’s territory built the Magic Academy, although the crystal core resources are mostly responsible for Byzantine, and the college resources are handled by the Buttigia royal family, but Morpheus will target The reason for the magic tower is that the materials needed to build this academy have greatly increased beyond the original Buttigia’s budget... the high-level building stones, the magic stone slabs needed to draw the magic circle, and a large number of raw materials that are difficult to count. How to purchase?
According to geographical location, the nearest supplier of magical materials is the sacred Gabriel Empire, which is always "forbidden"!
Second farthest is Isingle in the southeast, followed by Fording in the north. Because these materials include a large number of special stones, the most advantageous nature is the sacredness that is half a mountain away from Balice. Gabriel Empire, but apparently Morpheus did not pay any attention to the meaning of this arrogant empire, and waved his hand directly. The orders worth millions of gold coins in five years were thrown to the Principality of Miga in Isingale without any nonsense.
This can make the Pope’s Office red-eyes—not good to say. Although this group of clergymen looks like a god, but who doesn’t want to make their empire...or their pockets richer? In the sacred Gabriel Empire, which prohibits the magician from appearing publicly, most of these raw materials are discarded and depreciated. Therefore, the feeling that watching the "chicken ribs" in the hand can sell a good price but can’t earn it really makes the Pope sink. Hold your breath.
Lifting the letter in his hand, Morpheus smiled helplessly, and came to the appointment of the intelligence officer-in-chief Irindal, and directly signed a modified order to transfer part of the order from the Holy Gabriel Empire. , But prices have fallen by at least 30%.
This number is worth thinking about. I am afraid that the Grand Duke of Micah would have to scold the mother at such a low price, but the holy Gabriel, who had hoarded countless materials and had little sales, was afraid that they would be very happy. promise.
Leave a line in life, it will be better in the future. For ordinary people to encounter this situation-a country that once imprisoned or even tortured his lover, and waged several wars against himself turned to himself-it must be a kick on the other side and spit The end.
However, Morpheus did not do this, not because of the so-called open-mindedness, or the cost savings after changing the trade route at that point... but he suddenly wanted to understand many things.
People, why go to endless battles?
William? Kleinman, this old blood family who came to the Duke’s Palace and had a conversation with himself, let Morpheus understand that many things are not as simple as written in the history books, and his life will never be like It is as simple as I imagined-looking back, Morpheus found that he was basically passive from beginning to end, from the Hooke Town hand Tang Jidi De taught to the Constantinople college career... left the Byzantine to survive, even to save Ash Candi's crazy practice.
Although possessing the ability to be proud of the continent, Morpheus had to frown at the unprofessional behavior in the bumpy journey of his way--the concept of "chess" made him feel a strange kind for the first time. Feeling of powerlessness...Is all of my efforts made under the careful design of others step by step?
This is unrealistic.
Morpheus understands that although he has always been passive, with the improvement of his ability, all initiatives have begun to flow to himself-just like every empire bowed to himself to show respect, behind this, Morpheus saw not The sense of identification with such powerful powers as violent sanctions is an indescribable sorrow.
"Somewhat not understood?"
He looked up to see Irindal, who frowned at the parchment in his hand, and asked softly.
As an intelligence consul, Irindal naturally has a very rich experience and vision in political affairs. She has collected too many nobles to swindle intelligence. At this moment, she is completely unable to understand what Morpheus did for what. What about the pressure of more than 100,000 troops to forget so easily?
Facing Morpheus's question, she nodded without avoiding it.
"The Holy Gabriel empire seems powerful, in fact? Their army is not even dare to step into the territory of Lampard, as long as I am still here, any malicious attackers will become dust, this Are you sure you understand?"
"Your power makes them tremble, this is a fact."
Irindal did not refute.
"So why do I have to confront them? The meaningless things are not related to the word "revenge"-in fact, all the "revenge" will not yield any good results, killing It can only bring more killings, even if my strength is continent, I will one day face the bitter fruits I brought to others." Morpheus did not intend to make a long speech. After a few words, he has already signed the Good-looking parchment was handed over to Irindal. "I bought their resources. Although it will make many people feel private, it gives more civilians a chance to earn compensation. What have I lost? It's just a little bit of what the outsiders call the "face"."
Irindal looked at Morpheus with a daze and walked away with a smile, but he was still in the shock of his words just now-with different horizons, what he saw was different after all, even if it was Ilyndal, who admits to seeing a lot of knowledge, now also has to admit that Morpheus now sees much more than those noble lords.
"How is my own way?"
Morpheus asked to himself, then stopped, and looked up—the setting sun had fallen, and the figure of the dark queen Ashkandi appeared silently in front of Morpheus.
"Do you have any new plans?"
"To be honest~IndoMTL.com~I want to talk to William again about other planes." Morpheus didn't accidentally look at her in front of her, "But now I'm thinking about what I have been pursuing. What is it."
"Don’t you say you want to sleep well?"
Ashkandi walked, and Morpheus followed, very close, but did not reach the point of being gluey.
"I just suddenly discovered that if I follow this idea, I am afraid that the goal will never be achieved... My efforts are all resistance under the squeeze of these environments. It further, I can only consider how to retreat The least, instead of kicking it with one foot and taking a step forward."
This sentence silenced the Dark Queen for a moment, and finally said: "What are you going to do? Will **** and heaven disappear?"
Morpheus shrugged and replied in a half-joking and half-serious tone: "It sounds like a fantasy, but if it can really make these planes no longer interfere, I am willing to try it."
"If you want, then I will."
