Black Scepter Chapter 146: Plane Enemy
Thank you [Susita] and [In the Taoist Book] for your monthly pass! Thank you!
The Principality of Lampard, Grand Duke means that Morpheus has become the master of a country, and its status has been equal to that of Byzantine.
"His Majesty Edward III was also very painstaking, and gave me this grand duke, which may not have happened in the history of Byzantine. It’s just that Ashkandi was at the honor ceremony... if it’s not for my persuasion, I really don’t know how to step down from the patriarch."
"Ah? Is she here too?"
As soon as Morpheus mentioned the "Vampire Queen" who was talking about the civilian, Lilith's face suddenly fell down.
"I left after the morning ceremony. She and William seemed to have a lot of things to talk about. Even Edward III’s luncheon was rejected. I was naturally not good to leave the palace before and after. I brought it out, I am afraid it will be taken until night to have time to see you."
Listening to Morpheus's words, Lilith's mouth finally lifted a little, looking for some topics. She and Morpheus chatted about the boredom and news in Constantinople, but she quickly relaxed. When he arrived at the Prince's Mansion, he chatted with him for a long time. Morpheus accompanied the Lilith who had not smiled for a long time and had a cup of afternoon tea in the back garden. He stayed until dinner before he was able to leave.
As soon as I heard that Morpheus was leaving, Lilith smiled all afternoon, and she immediately became sad, but she finally realized that it was a rare thing that he could accompany himself all afternoon, and he rushed to the door of the mansion, Morpheus stood Before the carriage was ready to wave goodbye, how could the county master step out in two steps, hug himself and send a kiss, then blushed and ran back to the mansion...
The carriage and guard of honor of the Windsor family are behind. Morpheus turns around and finds that the guards headed by Guevara are staring at the end of the street with a serious expression, trying to be squinting... He smiled helplessly and waved his hand. : "It's done, don't pretend not to see it, go to the Duke's Palace of Solomon."
"Yes! Lord Duke."
The guards answered immediately.
Morpheus got on the carriage, and Lilith’s bold kiss brought some waves to her heart, but all this came to silence at the moment the car door closed-now he needs to think about many things, back and forth day after day Running between Lampard and Byzantine, Morpheus is far less leisurely than it seems.
The Pope’s army is pressing hard, and mainland civilians complained of suffering. As Morpheus has the strength to change the situation, instead of "waiting for work" as others have seen, it is constantly looking for solutions to these purgatory creatures and The best way for the pope's army.
Today came to Constantinople to participate in the honour ceremony hosted by Edward III. It was plainly just the monarch's statement-the title of "Duke" was next, handed over to Morpheus four cavalry regiments, ten infantry regiments and the entire The right to use the Inquisition is the real intention behind it!
Allowing a king to hand over almost the entire country’s military power sounds unbelievable, but it is actually the only dangerous step in the survival of Edward III. Do not doubt the use of people, Morpheus is the best in the mainland, sitting in almost the most powerful territory army and magic group, Edward III knew that he could not control such a "uncrowned king", simply recognized the status of Morpheus. In this way, the Byzantine, which has reached the limit, can justify and other countries announced its cooperation with the "Principality of Lampard".
And this is also a signal to Morpheus: Byzantine firmly recognizes the existence of Lampard and will always be its most determined ally.
At this time, the Pope’s army has attacked the Mullen territory, which is equivalent to taking nearly half of the Byzantine land-and Mullen... is the territory of the Windsor family, who once signed a sacred contract with Morpheus and Ashkandi local.
The addition of Hydera and Sphinx three days ago gave the soldiers some breathing opportunities, but because the number of enemies was too large, even if Prince Hades personally led the army to resist on the front line, Byzantine is really I can’t get the final team ready. The arrival of Morpheus is like a straw to save life. After talking with Edward III for one night, the Grand Duke Morpheus Windsor, who held the honour ceremony today, will have to take over the front line in the next three days. , Become the chief commander of the Byzantine battle, the first commander!
At this time, even Lilith’s invincible father Hades will become a subordinate of Morpheus.
Edward III's decentralization is absolutely ridiculous, and Morpheus fully understands how big the monarch's mind is.
It’s just that until now, apart from the resistance of Lampard’s army in Christina’s Fording territory, there did not seem to be any signs of large-scale mobilization, and the enemy—the one who was in Gabriel’s empire The Pope-I don't know what abacus Morpheus played.
Everything still seems to be undercurrent, and the Pope’s army is still arrogant. Giovanni gave several speeches, as if the fall of Constantinople was just around the corner, and the crazy believers did not know the sinister intentions of the pope, only to " "The glory of the Lord" made the enemies frightened, but did not know that those who secretly assisted them were a group of purgatory creatures...
......
In the evening, the carriage stopped on time outside the Palace of the Duke of Solomon. In front of the deserted iron gate was the same as when he arrived here last time, there was not even a servant to greet. Morpheus didn't care, got off the car and pushed open the iron door, was about to walk towards the cold and unpopular mansion, but found that the closed heavy wooden door slowly opened...
A warm color projected from the mansion’s porch. Morpheus found that the mansion in front of him had actually lit up almost all the candlelights. The old butler-like housekeeper at the door also put on a clean and flat black shirt. Respectfully bend down and ask Morpheus to enter.
It seems that Duke Azshara finally wants to make her mansion normal.
Entering the main hall, white candles are lit on the quaint long dining table, the food has been neatly arranged, and the fragrance is rich... Perhaps because of the cold contrast when last came here, the change of Duke Azshara today is to let Morpheus was relieved in his heart. Just standing at the dining table, he saw that the duke in the violet dress was walking down the stairs and was approaching.
Dressing and cumbersome dresses and dresses when there is no formal occasion, Azshara’s dress is simple and elegant at this time, because her appearance and figure no longer need too many clothes to set off.
It seems that the two have not met many times. A few banquets and a few conversations may add up to only a few hands, but they all feel a little familiar with each other. Maybe it’s because of his family, or for some inexplicable reason. In short, Duke Azshara understands...it’s not his character or strength that makes him interested in this once young boy...it’s just a variety of reasons, maybe She doesn't know herself anymore.
"It’s beautiful, Azshara."
Don’t bring the duke title, as Azshara said to him. Morpheus raised a gentleman's hand and gently took the catkins of the first cold beauty of the kingdom. "The last time I came here, the only thing that impressed me was the Viola."
"If you want to listen, I can play a song for you after dinner."
Duke Azshara’s makeup is extremely rare, and her face is slightly exquisite under candlelight, which makes Morpheus, a "demigod", secretly lament this woman of unknown age and geometry. It is amazing.
After a few simple greetings, Morpheus didn’t talk much nonsense. He came here not to simply eat a dinner, but to make the necessary deployment on the next strategy of the entire kingdom-as the Kingdom’s intelligence agency and The leader of the huge business organization, Duke Azshara was appointed by Edward III for this task and was responsible for assisting Morpheus in response to the current war.
"The topic of the afternoon is not finished, what did you mean before...Is it necessary to put those mobile teleportation arrays on the front line?"
Assara’s voice is more enthusiastic than before, she quickly enters the role, and talks with Morpheus about the topic that Lilith had interrupted before.
"The Mullental front is a top priority, but don’t worry about transportation, I just need your resources to match this, the strength of the Solomon family..."
The topics discussed by Morpheus and Azshara are about the crisis that Byzantine is facing. Although the battle is tight, the emotion between the two people is actually very relaxed. The candlelight reflects the mellow wine for this The dinner was a bit intoxicating...
But the wine glass, which also holds red wine, looks like solidified blood when it is placed in front of Ashcandi and William Kleinman.
Holy Gabriel Empire Hera City, in a remote underground castle, Ashcandi sat in front of the Kleinman patriarch hiding here, his lips tight.
Perhaps these are the two most powerful blood races on the continent. There have been few monarch blood races for thousands of years, and sometimes even a generational genius can reach this level. But now the two of them sitting at the dining table are as strong as they are-it's just that the atmosphere on the dining table is cold, the knife and fork are not moving, and the food is more like a display.
"In short, this is my request. If the Kleinman family agrees, I will go now."
Ashkandi’s words were cold, and the tender red eyes looking at Morpheus had no emotion at this time, staring at the Kleinman patriarch with the red robe in front of him, without a trace of respect.
This tough attitude does not seem to be "consultation" at all, but more like a provocation before the two sides are ready to fire. Ashcandy hates William. This is something that everyone with a discerning eye can see. The protagonist of the "Prince William Assassination" incident that once recorded history is the two of the moment. But no one would think that today, the two sides have become "partners."
"I know you resent me very much in your heart, but that thing was not as simple as what you saw--"
William wants to explain what, but it seems that something is inconvenient to confide, and the hesitation between words makes Ashkandi even more annoying.
"I don't want to listen to other things, I'm waiting for your answer."
Ashkandi is like an iceberg. He is simply too lazy to talk a little nonsense with William.
It seems that she does have these capitals now, because the Lampard territory of Morpheus-or "the principality of Lampard"-has become the only hope for the mainland to overturn, and the Kleinman family has been hit by the pope. If you want to live, there is obviously no choice.
After the ascension of Giovanni, the bloodbath William started to anticipate the blood race. Without a word, he took the entire Kleinman family to hide in the mountains outside the city of Hera, but he did not expect that the pope would do so... The other blood races that had not escaped were all executed, **** and merciless. This kind of killing situation made the blood races begin to understand that no matter what transaction or cooperation between the Holy See and them, after Giovanni took power, all of the intertwined historical relations mean being cut off with a sword, so that both sides Standing on opposite sides.
But as an old antique that has lived for nearly a thousand years, William is more aware of what it means-the so-called "pope" is no longer a human being who will consider the future of the Holy See, but has completely become the running dog of those purgatory demons.
So after thinking through everything, he knows Ashcandi’s life better and he knows which side he should stand at this time.
Looking up, William looked back at the ruthless dark queen and whispered: "Although Morpheus wants the Kleinman family to do something difficult, I will try my best to achieve it. After all, the pope is our common enemy... we -"
"No need to say ‘us’. You are you. The Kleinman family has nothing to do with me. It was not in the past, nor will it be in the future.”
Ashkandi is very upset. She once fought with William and the five Dukes, killed three Duke-level elders and ran away from her wounds... This thing that made her remember her life is never about forgetting. Can forget.
So since the beginning of the negotiations, Ashkandi has never thought of giving the other party any good looks.
William sitting opposite her heard a bit decadent. The original handsome face seemed to be ten years old in just a few months. I want to come too, ranking at the peak of the blood clan's strength, but failing to bring peace to the family. This is perhaps the saddest thing as a patriarch. The invasion of purgatory and the ascension of the new pope made the Kleinman family, which once belonged to the thirteen direct blood family, worse and worse. At this time, after listening to Ashcandi's repeated indifferent words, his heart was like being pricked by countless needles. More is still grief and indignation, just looking at Ashcandy's decision, he finally sighed and whispered: "Ashkandi... Have you ever wondered why you can get to this step today?"
"This has nothing to do with my coming here today, I--"
"No~IndoMTL.com~ has a relationship, and it has a lot to do."
William raised his gaze, occupying the patriarch and even the ruler of the entire dark world for hundreds of years. His power has not been reduced by facing Ashkandi of the same level. "An ordinary, ignorant Mis How can a Rui family girl become one of the most powerful blood clan in the dark world? Don’t think it’s those battles that give you these powers. I’ve investigated all your backgrounds, but I still can’t find the answer like you do now. --Until I find Cassandra desperate to help you."
"Cassandra?"
Ashkandi didn’t want to bother him, but when she heard the name, her eyebrows were raised.-Cassandra? Gotham, which "black widow" Scarlett in the Augustus? Gottifan’s mother, the blood race that used to desperately help herself to get rid of the chase.
"Why did the blood clan kill you? Why did the Holy See kill you? Who will make you fall asleep for three hundred years?" William's voice sounded like a hammer, hitting her heart at once, "You can't find it The answer is because you don’t belong to this plane at all!
You... are the enemies of this plane! "
Ashkandi suffocated.
