Black Scepter Chapter 73: Test of the Augustus Empire (five k)


"The question is not here, but what happens at the end of the voyage. (o)"

Morpheus did not answer the other’s somewhat murky question. Apparently, after the princess had drunk too much, what Morpheus was caught by surprise.

"It’s very simple. I find a country I’m talking about and marry a similar prince so that Ingeway behind me can establish a good cooperative relationship with them, and you-Byzantine’s arrogant son, Long Knight, then lead your fleet to glory and blaze all the way"

At half of her words, she suddenly became choked-the princess holding the wine glass in her hand lowered her head, letting the big teardrop slide down on the table.

Morpheus pressed his lips slightly, not knowing what to say.

Obviously, a princess who has been traded by her mother as a trade in goods feels saddened? How hard is she desperate to escape to this level?

I'm afraid that she knows it only. As Morpheus, who is envied by Xia Lan and envied even as a "benchmark", the only thing she can do at this moment is to take away the glass in her hand and whisper: "If you don't want to be at sea Was eaten, and before reaching the end, let the fleet with Byzantine march together."

"There are a lot of resources in the mainland of Winner. At present, we will not let us fight for your life now, shall we?"

Morpheus put this sentence down and got up and walked to the distance to Ashcandi and Andalil who had been staring here. As soon as they sat down, they found that Little Loli stared at herself with some air.

"How?"

"How do you know her? Explain to us clearly!"

Andalil wants to take Ashcandy as a backing, but the unfamiliar red eyes queen who sits beside her at night can't help but feel a bit guilty when he says half of it.

However, Ashcandi nodded with a smile, and cooperated with Erlang's legs, pretending to be serious to Morpheus: "Answer her question."

"A princess who will marry a stranger sooner or later." Morpheus shrugged and explained briefly how many times he met Princess Xia Lan, because he didn't have too much affection for this princess, so it was easy to let The two beauties no longer talked about this issue, but asked about the three-headed dragon.

"The ocean is more extensive than land. Although the appearance of the "sea monster" is not impossible, it is not so simple to appear on this occasion." Morpheus said of the guy who attacked the fleet, his face gradually Seriously, "There are very few materials about "sea monsters" in the history books. In my case, I have never seen even one word about these things."

"But they are not unexpectedly powerful, are they?" Hydera easily defeated the three-headed dragon. Obviously, its advantage of having six heads is not only in the number of heads.

"The appearance, it can be seen that it is not an adult Yalong who simply follows the wild. Obviously something in the ocean has manipulated its behavior-perhaps the legendary mermaid in the mouth of the sailors, or"

His tone lowered slightly, looking at the two captains in the distance who were sullen and frowning and said: "Some guys who should not be in this plane seem to have begun to act."

In the following days, everything was calm and calm, and Hydera’s patrol over the fleet made all crew members enjoy an unprecedented sense of security. When the distant word of the dragon knight suddenly came to their side, they found out The other party was not as high as they thought, but on the contrary, as a member of the Byzantine mission, Morpheus did not ask the fleet to give any special treatment, but only pushed the one who came here with him during the day. The beautiful woman stood on the side of the ship looking at the endless seascape, and the little girl who was not tall would climb to the lookout tower at the top of the mast and yell.

No sea monsters, no weird storms, no huge wave routes, no deviations and clear skies. In short, everything went well.

In the day before the destination, Ingeway’s fleet is finally separated from the Byzantine fleet-this "temporary maritime alliance" state is rare in history, Princess Xia Lan has never appeared, Morpheus came out and Inge Commander Wei concluded the "cooperation" face-to-face with a brief conversation. When leaving the main ship, he only glanced at the figure who was looking at himself in the cabin.

He then moved forward with the Byzantine fleet towards the established port-but on the night before the fleet was about to land, Morpheus disappeared at the stern of "Constantinople" after saying hello to Ashkandi .

The dark water at night will always give people an inexplicable sense of fear. The calm water surface does not show any strange things, but Morpheus flying in the air does not think so.

"Poof!"

At a distance of several kilometers after the end of the Byzantine fleet, Morpheus suddenly descended from the sky and plunged into the deep sea.

The dark sea water can’t reach with five fingers, but it doesn’t make Morpheus have any sensory obstacles. He closes his eyes and is pure enough to replace the eyes with his own perceptive ability to explore those under the sea that should not appear here The presence.

This muffled sound shocked the shallowly-swept fish, but when he dived down with his breath, he immediately felt that a few huge guys were coming!

The huge head suddenly swept across the front of Morpheus. The cone-shaped head was the same as the three-headed dragon that attacked the fleet. The most strange thing was that there were two other heads swimming at the same time!

What do these guys keep quietly following the fleet for? This is already considered as offshore waters. According to common sense, there will be a place where you can reach the mainland in one day, but this kind of huge deep-sea creatures will rarely appear-and they are dragons. Even if they are Yalong, they are not easy to be affected by. The existence of human slavery.

The breath of Morpheus is almost completely concealed when in the water. The three-headed dragon that swam quickly did not find the terrifying existence of Morpheus level, while Morpheus sensed all the movements in the nearby sea area and quickly found the anomaly-not far At this place, a guy who mysteriously followed Yalong made Morpheus suddenly discover

The legends about mermaids seem to be true.

In the dark waters, a team of more than three hundred mermaids gathered in a cone to follow the deep sea behind Yalong. In the perception of Morpheus, these guys are longer and stronger than ordinary humans. The upper body is a well-proportioned human body with a "cheek" similar to a fish on the neck, while the lower body is black and has a two-meter-long fish body. Their speed of travel in the water is no less than the one just passed by Yalong, holding a trident-like weapon in most hands, although the appearance is simple, but murderous and awe-inspiring.

Their eyes are open in the water, and there is a flash of white light when they occasionally reflect the faint moonlight.

Seeing this, Morpheus didn’t say anything and released a ball-shaped “water-proof enchantment” directly into the water-he didn’t want to wait for this group of guys to launch a second attack on the Byzantine or Ingeway fleet .

"Om——"

The buzzing sound spreads faster in the sea water than on the land. The fast-moving fish people suddenly changed their formation like a school of fish. Although the figure of Morpheus has not yet been seen, this group is obviously training. The well-known guys instantly showed a net-shaped outstretched formation-obviously no matter what is in front of them, they have no hint of fear at all!

And behind Morpheus, the three-headed Yalong also began to turn his head and walk in the opposite direction.

The Morpheus standing in the enchantment is not wetted by people and sea water, but is suspended in this spherical enchantment quietly, looking at the fish that rushed straight ahead and prepared to pierce itself with a spear People frowned slightly.

He raised his hands, one pointed to the Yalong used, and the other pointed to the mermaid who attacked from the group

"To be honest, I have always had a problem."

Andariel raked the tall side of the ship, looking at the dark sea under the moonlight in the distance, and some fascinated said to the queen of red eyes beside him: "Why does he always run around? This time I am afraid that the distance from Sicilin has exceeded the limit I imagined. It's not good to stay in Lampard honestly?"

"The bottleneck."

Ashkandi's figure looks a bit cold in the dark. Obviously, this temperament that no one can enter is still vividly displayed when Morpheus is not around, and only Andariel will ignore these things and still stand. Beside her.

"What is the bottleneck? Is there any bottleneck in his strength?"

Although Andariel’s mental age is not old, it is obvious that the cognitive things are much higher than the so-called "same age". Anyway, it is also an "old monster" similar to Ashcandi, which is two years old. It's not embarrassing for a woman to talk about the sky.

"The Morpheus I know has never been a curious person, he always keeps restraint on new things and this time, Morpheus said it is to bring new weapons to the territory-lame reason, but who Will you wear it in person?"

The Queen looked at the stern where the Morpheus figure disappeared, and she was a little divine: "He has changed a lot, and since the return of the angelic plane, I can see his efforts-no matter where and when I go all out. He works hard, but he has always had fear in his heart."

"What else will he be afraid of?" Andalil asked, raising his eyebrows and raising his head slightly, looking at the red eye higher than himself.

And Ashcandi took care of the long hair blown away by the sea breeze, looked down at this little girl whose soul energy is no less than his own, and said: "People want to lose their "fear" is very simple. No need to worry about it — like the one I used to be; while the strength is strong, the fear will follow as soon as the heart is trapped.”

"I am the same now."

The voice just fell, a thunderous muffled noise came from a distance, turned his head, and under the light of a kilometer away, the water mist rising in the sky was as spectacular as a "water tornado".

"Are those enemies?"

Andariel doesn’t have many unexpected looks. The soul link allows her to feel the emotions of Morpheus at this moment.

"No, just arrogant guys."

Ashkandi replied faintly, looking at the muffled noises that kept coming in the distance.

The fleet arrived at Lukang, the port of Augustus, the capital of Augusta, the largest country in mainland China.

The name of the city is "Vieira", which means "pearl in the hands of Mar" in Auguste language-but Morpheus is not too interested in this, looking at the new continent, Morpheus push The green-eyed Ashkandi wheelchair walked off the ship. The crew was writing in order the goods brought on, and the Morpheus and his party received as special envoys were directly received by the royal carriage of the Augustus In the center of the city-the palace "Paris".

Crossing the ocean across the sea, the customs here are naturally different from any country such as Byzantine or Balice. Morpheus can see that the most common clothing here is the robe-and it is still a cover robe and the street All women on the old and young wear a veil, showing only a pair of eyes.

The climate here is dry and hot. It seems that no clouds will appear in the clear sky for 10,000 years. Most of the building caps are hemispherical, and the taller ones will be coated with glittering golden paint. "It's not horses pulling, but tall camels with humps.

As Andalil asked with excitement, Morpheus was seated in a spacious carriage, looking at the bustling streets outside through the round window. Opposite him, he asked softly, "Do you still not like the strange environment?"

Morpheus nodded in denial and replied: "I was just thinking, if those guys in the sea came to the land, what kind of situation would they feel uneasy like me?"

"You mean those legendary mermaids?"

"Not "legendary", they are bigger than I thought, but their brains are not very easy to use." Morpheus still frowned, "but why do they stare at Byzantine and Ingeway Fleet? How can it drive Yalong? It doesn’t seem like a coincidence, but—"

He didn't finish his words, and he felt his palms cool-Ashkandi didn't talk much, just held his palm lightly, and stopped Morpheus's words instantly.

"Hopefully I think too much."

The capital of the Augustus Empire is no less prosperous than Constantinople. As the newly established Byzantine that established diplomatic relations with this empire, the excellent envoys who have only come here once have solved the communication problems through language learning time. The carriage's Morpheus was allowed to enter after a series of weapons inspections, while Ashkandi and Andalil and Pierre and other fleet personnel went to the arranged station.

Walking into the Palace of Paris, if Morpheus's first impression of this place is "golden brilliant".

Perhaps because of the permanent glare of the sun, most of the buildings of the August Empire used gold as the main tone of the building-Morpheus can distinguish that most of the roofs of the buildings are painted, but when they came here When he was a huge palace, he could be sure that all the huge spherical domes of the original building were covered with pure gold!

Not only the roof, but also the decorative lines of the round stone columns, the ornaments placed in the corridor, and even the surface of the murals or characters on the roof.

Even Constantinople can't use gold as a raw material to decorate the palace so luxuriously-I am afraid that the royal family has the highest gold content, only the crown of thorns above Edward III, but obviously here, gold is simply the same material as money.

It’s no wonder that Hasselblad had so much gold in his chart log that he was not afraid that the gold here was not expensive.

"Master Morpheus, your identity as a dragon knight is a point that Your Majesty personally declares to emphasize with the Augustus, so there is one thing--"

"I brought the dragon over, you can rest assured that if you need to show force, I will not refuse."

Morpheus, who appeared as the messenger of Byzantine, knew very well what he needed to do, so he talked to the envoy who served as a "translator", and then came to the round main hall.

There is no icy marble floor here, but only a hand-woven artwork-like rug-this huge carpet in the entire main hall is a whole, it is a work woven by a seasoned generation of experienced craftsmen. The words are already comparable to the gold foil of the same area, and the breath coming out is equally luxurious and unusual, but Morpheus only frowned and focused on the center of the hall in front of him. No one else looked up and lost his head when he first came here. Like.

Because he knows that the people in front of him are not kings of the August Empire.

A middle-aged man in a golden and red robe smiled and greeted Morpheus with the "translator"-"Welcome to the Augustus, respectable envoy, I am Ozra Fan Passargard, if called Byzantine, I should be the'prince' of this country."

"His Royal Highness."

Morpheus is a noble ritual, but his eyes are not too flattering, and he does not wait for what the prince, who has been laughing all the time, said bluntly: "In the face of the Augustus Before the Emperor~IndoMTL.com~ I want to know what I need to do?"

This remark is not polite, but also reveals a hard line that can’t be said—as a Byzantine envoy should have a kind of "arrogance", Morpheus obviously played this well, after all, he is now behind the representative With the Byzantine empire, his personality is easy going, and it is not suitable to be displayed here in front of strange guys in strange empire.

Prince Ozra has a thick beard, but his cheeks are abnormally thin. After listening to the translator’s words, he raised his eyebrows, and his eyes changed a little bit instantly, but he reacted immediately after a slight stun. What I wanted to say, I laughed and said, "My brother Ulysses still has some things to deal with. I can lead you around the palace first-if you guess right, you are the Byzantine. Lord Morpheus, the most powerful warrior?"

"It's me, yes."

Morpheus’s answer still carries arrogance, but apparently he didn’t mean to hold the shelf all the time. After letting the other party know his attitude, Morpheus said bluntly: "I have plenty of time. If His Royal Highness is free, I am willing to follow you everywhere."

I'm afraid the next thing is more than just visiting?
