Black Scepter Chapter 20: Adeline’s favor?

When it comes to broadband upgrades, Nima did not upgrade from last night to now. I had to go to the internet cafe to update. Today I said that the two changes are good. The update was just wrong. Let’s put it together.

Ask for a red ticket, thanks!

Unpaid?

Naturally not. On the contrary, all members who perform tasks performed in heretics will never complain that their remuneration is too low, because after each battle or task execution, the relevant task evaluation records will be extremely detailed and complicated. The calculation method calculates the contribution of each person, and carefully allocates the compensation that everyone deserves.

All of this cannot be judged by oneself. It is entirely determined by the heretical ruling party. Even the highest-ranking combatants have no right to change the mission rewards-and the rewards are reported in advance by the "willing to fill in the columns" to the ruling office's separate department records. .

The Morpheus just filled out a form like this when it was reviewing and filling out the form. Fill in whatever you want on a blank form, and the heretical verdict will decide whether or not to contribute to the completion of the task. Rewards are given according to the things on the list, which does not limit most of the prohibited items-because of "fighting for God", the handmen naturally have more privileges and less confession than monks who only pray For example, it is okay to fill in the list with "women", "money" and even "knighthood". These are not contrary to the purpose of the disciplinary court to "punish all unclean heretics".

And what Morpheus has to do now is to get credit as soon as possible.

The "Quest Release Hall" is actually not large in size. The decoration is old and outdated. Even the color of the wooden table is black and the exact year of manufacture cannot be seen. However, in this slightly crowded room, there are many weak members of the Tribunal who are handing over and assigning tasks-none of the tasks in the Tribunal are fixed, some can be done by someone, some need a group, these things are all You need to decide for yourself, unless it is a unified order within the ruling house, the usual heresy action is to let members freely "dive" in this way.

The emergence of Morpheus has caused many people to raise their eyelids, and then quickly moved away-no matter how mature a young boy's image is, he can't let these old guys who have been dealing with the edge of the life and death line all year long have the intention to pay attention, most People only think that this is a noble young master who wants to experience exciting life.

There are two main categories of formal members in the ruling court, the white robe "sun guard" and the black robe "night guard". The responsibilities of the two are different. The white robe is responsible for everything related to religious conflicts, such as pagans Infringements, the handling of believers in violation of regulations, etc. are generally "internal" things, and the objects are basically human beings.

The role of the black robe "night watchman" is to deal with all dark creatures, the way is very simple-let all uncleanness go to hell.

Morpheus does not have one of these identities, he just stepped to the reception desk, looking at the tasks he can currently receive with his permission raised his eyebrows slightly-obviously this level is difficult to reach The task is usually to investigate or run errands and the like, expecting it to get merits is basically a fool’s dream, but digging a well is not a hoe. It will naturally produce a dew. Morpheus has selected a "exploration of pagan activities in the southwest of the beautiful city. The task of "Situation" left this dark building. The task requirements are very simple, one person can get it done, but Morpheus will naturally not simply walk around and complete.

After leaving the ruling court, Morpheus took a three-corner corner and stepped into the carriage. When he returned to the mansion, he met an invitation from Earl’s Court—not the Lord Lord Burton himself, but his daughter Adeline Brook.

The previous plan of Morpheus was very successful because he excluded all unstable factors about "women" as far as possible-whether Adelin is really interested in himself is not within the scope of the plan, only need The Viscount Harrington can be hostile. Anyone knows that his plan may have been too successful. The after-effects now brought are the unpredictable results of Morpheus-and after entering the heretical judgment, Lord Bolton’s asylum no longer appears. It’s so important. I didn’t want to touch Bolton’s Morpheus too much, but because of the short mouth before, I can’t refuse this request.

Helplessly agrees with Miss Adeline’s invitation, Morpheus takes the still-competent Compton, and the carriage drove to Earl’s Court again in the dusk.

Byzantine Empire, Constantinople.

The climate of the imperial capital in winter is not cold. The Mediterranean climate makes it as mild and rainy as ever. After the heavy snow, the empire’s public opinion center has been irretrievably concentrated on the upcoming war, Windsor, Langji Nus and several well-known surnames made the entire Constantinople upper class aristocracy start a "noble conscription fever".

Countless noble heirs almost broke the threshold of the mansion of Windsor, the head of the "health knights" for a place to participate in the battle. The old duke no longer seems to have any frustrated look because of the disappearance of his only illegitimate child. It's just that the upper class of the Imperial Capital has always heard that the Windsor family is a "cursed family", but it is another way to make the former low-key Duke famous.

And Prince Langenus, one of the empire Knights of the Round Table, was reading some reports about his daughter in his not luxurious mansion-Lilith Langinus, the daughter of the Prince Abandoned his noble title, became a member of the "health knight" as a normal cavalry, and joined the second batch of teams expected to begin the expedition two months later.

A short sword, a warhorse, Lilith has no other valuable personal items. Such a tough and self-willed female knight even makes Edward III a little helpless.

"Long swords that yearn for freedom, do not stain blood, do not become organs."

Prince Langenus did not have any extra emotional expression, and the quill pen wrote such a sentence, as dazzling as family instruction.

After signing a military officer’s identity declaration, the next piece of parchment was a short greeting from “Eagle Eyes”, with no substantive content, but even so, the prince still squinted for a long time, and finally Still toss it aside without replying.

The prince would rather trust the "creed" organization outside the imperial military history system than the "eagle eye" that should belong to the royal family. This origin is estimated that ordinary people will not know the reason for life.

Some things, if you can’t talk, it’s a knot, but if you talk about it, it’s a scar.

......

At this time, the Duke of Azshara’s Palace did not have the cold and silent atmosphere of the past.

If someone who has seen the decisive scene of this defiant intelligence leader standing at the moment stands in the Duke’s Palace, it is estimated that he will not think about the situation at this moment by **** his head down.

The still empty hall echoed with a low but slightly sad sound.

Viol, a musical instrument that the Duke Azshara has not touched in nearly a decade, now has stream-like clear notes flowing in those long but pale hands.

"Barrenhe Etude in C major", the quiet and melancholy tune made Duke Azshara slightly close her eyes. Ai she in a black dress sat alone in the empty hall, and there was no servant around.

Qu Bi.

Technology is not as good as the skillful Duke Azshara sighed and sighed: "The sorrow of the Mori River, the only luthier in the Kaslandi Empire who has the title of "Miss"...one already What kind of identity do you have, a dead peer who has played only three times?"

.................................................. .........................

Holy Gabriel Empire, Medici, dusk.

The Morpheus who walked into Earl’s Court has no inner nervousness when he came here last time-after all, the purpose of coming here is to make a key step of his own planning, tolerate no errors, superficial calmness and calmness and inner heart Anxiety is always irrelevant. It seems that Morpheus has been able to achieve the most common mood of nobility. It is just that to be truly powerful without fear of anyone’s self-confidence, he still has a distance.

He looked up and greeted himself as Adeline alone.

In a plain dress, Miss Adeline didn’t smile unnecessarily. Morpheus kissed the back of her hand, and she still didn’t refuse.

"My father has something to do, this is a private invitation."

Adeline didn’t say anything else, he said it straightforwardly, which made Morpheus a little uncomfortable. He didn’t say anything that the nobles used to flatter the beautiful lady and the lady. It’s just this situation. He knew very well that if he moved out of that set, it would be absolutely disgusting. Adeline in front of him had already used her previous actions to tell Morpheus that she would never eat this set.

The Earl’s Court can actually be called the lord’s palace or the lord’s palace. In short, the power center of the rich city of Medici is basically here. Although it is located at the peak of regional power, there is no extravagant luxury here, Brook. The existence of the family is obviously much longer than those of the new upstarts. The portraits of the previous heads of the family also prove this, so Morpheus can also smell a similar breath to the Windsor family, walking on the precipitation of the old nobles of the Gabriel Empire In the breathy corridor, Morpheus followed behind the butler, and Adeline walking in front of him kept pace. It seemed that the purpose was to bring Morpheus directly to his small courtyard, and the butler was after Morpheus and Compton arrived. But Adeline signaled not to follow up.

This request made the housekeeper look overwhelmed. Obviously, he didn’t trust a guest who had visited Earl’s Palace only once and his servant, who looked a little nervous.

Morpheus didn’t make the housekeeper embarrassed, and said softly: “Maybe I still have some slightly troublesome requests that need the housekeeper to help, and I hope Miss Adeline will understand.”

The housekeeper was able to stay next to Adeline, and the noble lady secretly calculated whether Morpheus on the Masoka card would need to be increased by a few values.

As the lord’s daughter-in-law, Adeline’s childhood acceptance of everything is naturally the best in the city of Medici. Her residence is exquisite, the flowers in the garden are very precious, and the two-story building is small. The building is not big but very warm, the servants do not have the fear of fear, but always quiet and indifferent greetings, Yiye Zhiqiu, Morpheus naturally understand that this is a girl with a good heart.

"I don’t like the aristocratic rhetoric. Today I’m only taking a few questions."

Adelin sat straight in the subject after Morpheus sat down and said, "No matter what your ultimate purpose is, are you really going to pursue me?"

Be good.

Morpheus blinked and didn’t seem to respond to what Adelin asked. A full second of stunnedness had proved that he was really surprised by the way and content of this beautiful lady’s question—to be honest, even civilians Do not take such a discussion of emotional issues.

"Pursue?" Morpheus just wanted to habitually turn up the aristocratic rhetoric of the flattering woman, but remembered that Adelin didn’t eat this set, and in the end it was still very straight back: "Actually, I have no such plan ."

Silent.

Adeline looked at Morpheus, Morpheus looked up at her, the two looked at each other for three seconds, Adeline could not see Morpheus a little guilty or uneasy, and Morpheus also could not see Adeline Have embarrassment or anger.

Two really strange young people.

"Very good, I think we can sit down and talk now."

Unexpectedly, Adeline took the lead to speak, and the calm anomaly quickly made Morpheus a bit caught off guard.

What is she doing?

Morpheus sat down with doubts. The decoration style in the living room was very warm. It was not as thick and solemn as the previous Earl’s Hall, but it was more cute and well-behaved. Several landscape oil paintings, some weird collections with no name, Morpheus It feels like Adeline, who looks similar to the ordinary noble lady, seems to have some secrets she can't imagine.

"I don’t know Miss Adeline today..."

"There are just a few questions to be clarified," Adeline interrupted Morpheus, but his expression was a bit mischievous. "Your strength is very strong. Although not as strong as my father, it is not much worse." , He admits it personally, but you are a few decades younger than him, I really want to know why."

"Why?"

Morpheus did not dislike Adelin’s little cleverness. Looking at the girl who was not disgusted, he replied: "If you have to understand why everything, then life will be very tiring."

"Don’t tell me this kind of truth, I want to hear the answer. Is Baron from Fording not willing to answer a lady’s question?"

Adelin made a reserved look, but after making these remarks, he made a grimace and continued: "Bah baah, I don’t want to learn this set, I will ask you, you said or not Say?"

A little domineering, but a bit naughty.

Morpheus rolled his eyes. He could not imagine that an 18-year-old girl would chat with herself in this way. In the end, she still rubbed her eyes and replied: "With effort and opportunity, there is confidence."

"Same as not saying."

Adeline sticks her tongue out and seems to disdain the answer of Morpheus, "A big knight can’t be achieved by training alone. The strong knight of Fording in the Masoka card is even powerful. One-on-one case overturned the Cavaliers Cavaliers. Although their sense of honor and self-esteem are cramped, this is the root cause of their strength. I say this, right?"

"I haven't fought with the Cavaliers' Cavaliers and have no say."

Morpheus shrugged, not understanding why the noble lady understood these things, "In the last few hundred years, the Riverding Empire has not had any conflicts with Kasrandi. What you said seems to have been throughout history. It has not happened a few times, how is the comparison of the strength of the knights in several countries, how to judge? The Cavaliers Competition has never been attended by Kaslandi’s knights."

He asked this question very appropriately. He seemed to be dissatisfied with Adeline, but it was drawing out the little knowledge in her heart that she wanted to show off.

"The knight contest contest? That kind of thing is not a benchmark for judging the strength of the knight. I am not an idiot throwing flowers for the knights of the flower shelf. Don’t put me with those women!" Adeline seems to be in Morpheus After answering the first question after entering the house, she seemed very familiar, which made the old housekeeper behind her a little surprised-in the past, when facing the noble young masters or housekeepers, I could not see this side of Adeline. ,the reason? He also did not know.

"It seems that you have some misunderstandings." Morpheus waved his hand very politely, and asked a question with a smile: "You said that it is easy to kill a person with a sword, or everyone thinks that the enemy is after the sword is shot. It’s easy to die but the enemy is still alive?"

Edrin’s eyebrows were raised, her delicate face was still in the Morpheus’s field of vision like a portrait, and then she raised her eyebrows: “It looks like I’m still a little shallow, can you tell me something? Things about the contest? Have you ever participated?"

This time it’s Morpheus’s turn to be dumbfounded—where did he participate in the formerly famous “Knight Contest” of the Fording Empire?

That was the five-year knight event of the Fording Empire. The old guy Tang Jidi once told a lot of stories about this. The Knight Tournament Conference is an event that almost all the famous knights on the mainland will go to. The players will be younger generations, and those old monsters who are arrogant and perverted are naturally not interested, and occasionally appear, just to find a suitable apprentice. After all, the honor of a knight is not based on how many opponents are shot down, and the knights participating in the competition use The saddle without a backrest, in order to reduce the impact and injury after being hit by a lance, the lance used is a hollow and easily broken structure, and the casualty rate is lower than the actual combat, not a star, so many ladies are applauded for the **** At the same time, some people do not like this show-like game, but only real knights will understand that if you want to get the ranking of the competition, the difficulty is definitely not much easier than surviving on the battlefield.

In the face of Adeline’s question, Morpheus had to move out what Tang Jidi told, with a few interesting stories in between, but unexpectedly, Adeline listened with relish, and reached down and took notes with feathers. Many things look at the past, but they are all numbers, which makes Morpheus a little unknown.

"Okay, I have improved some information, I really want to thank you."

Edrin looked at the parchment in her hand, dried the ink, and then got up and walked upstairs to the room, while saying: "Wait for a while, I will come down quickly."

Morpheus raised his eyebrows and watched Adeline leave, and turned his gaze to the housekeeper next to him. This slightly gray-haired middle-aged man was obviously not well-suited to Aideline’s style at the moment--because It’s not polite to leave a guest hanging around, especially when you are the host, but Morpheus is not dissatisfied, just asked softly: "Miss usually likes...?"

"Masoka card."

The old housekeeper thought for a while and answered truthfully, "Miss has been studying Marsoka cards every day. She started to study at the age of six and is now considered a master in the empire. Do you understand the rules of this game? ?"

"Game?" Morpheus smiled and shook his head, his expression a little helpless, "I don’t think Maso card is a game, it’s a headache for the magician. I didn’t expect Miss Adeline. It’s also a surprise that I have such amazing preferences.”

Morpheus has read about the introduction of Maso cards in books, but I haven’t studied this game carefully because it is too unpopular.

The old housekeeper didn’t say much. It seems that this young Fording aristocrat already knows what the Maso cards are-he thought Adeline would use the cards to let the suitor know "It's difficult to retreat", this is a very common and common behavior in the aristocracy. If you want to reject the suitor, you only need to tell him that you are not worthy of yourself by action, but the situation seems to be a little unexpected.

Adeline quickly went down the stairs, holding a huge wooden box in his hand, Morpheus can see that this is a custom-grade card box-every wooden box containing Marzo cards is on it The lines have their own identification marks. The wooden boxes of the basic cards are all in a unified style, and the wooden boxes of the custom cards will be added with the articles of their own family and the marks of the cards they created. The wooden box has the mark of the two-headed lion of the Brook family~IndoMTL.com~ the lines are rough and generous.

"Will it?"

Adeline blinked, and she looked very good.

"I just heard about it and never played it. After all, this is known as something that even a magician has a headache."

Morpheus smiled and put the short sword aside, "However, I can try it."

"Really?"

Adelin, who didn’t expect Morpheus to promise, shined her eyes and reached out with a small necklace key hanging on her chest to open the lid with a magic lock. There were more than one hundred overlapping cards stacked in different sizes. And the style is simple, each card is longer than the general tarot card, the edge of the animal skin is sewn, the texture is thick, and some architectural department main cards are also set with crystal nuclei and gemstones exuding magic fluctuations.

"How about this one?"

Adeline took out one of the most gorgeous shapes in the Department of Architecture, the name is quite eye-catching-"City of Faith: Vatican", one of the patterns is both Vatican St. Peter's Basilica and St. Peter's Square There is a Trinity logo and two crossed keys, representing the majesty of the majesty of the Pope, and below are rows of dazzling data and simplified calculation formulas.

Morpheus didn’t say anything, but whispered: "Can you give me a glance?"

Adeline looked up at Compton, the strong man who had not said a word, and nodded slightly curiously.

"Write down everything."

Morpheus only said such a word to Compton, who responded in silence, but reached out and took the card from Morpheus without hesitation.

In seven seconds, he put down the card and then picked up the next one.

Morpheus no longer pays attention to Compton, but only motions to Adeline to give the wooden box where the card is placed to this silly big man, and then shifts the topic: "The memory and strategic vision required by the Maso card must be outstanding. Do you have such a success without a teacher?"
