Black Scepter Chapter 22: Purpose and conditions

>Two days later, a convoy appeared outside the military headquarters on the Byzantine border.

Duke Windsor personally appeared and greeted the team-no one would think why this wild land would have a caravan like a caravan, but when a Byzantine aristocrat walked down the carriage, all Talent suddenly realized-these guys who were judged to have died were not dead.

Lilith and Morpheus and others walked off the team together. When facing the Duke of Windsor, she was afraid to raise her head, while Minos next to him was a relaxed and natural face: "I believe nothing else , You can still get a team to send you back."

Morpheus actually had a deeper understanding of this guy during the journey-jealous and hateful but somewhat neurotic, with rare talents and strong comprehension ability. He has been entangled with Morpheus several times along the way. Compared to the last contest in West Sellin, there has been significant and substantial progress-and for the Conzanas family, Morpheus decided to seize this opportunity to develop relationships and who can imagine the big family behind What more terrifying energy?

"Father."

At this moment, he stepped forward to his father. Duke Acar, who is a heavy minister of the military, looked complex at the moment. After all, this action Morpheus made a big contribution, but even with Lilith’s "dereliction of duty" and even the "treason" felon Once again, he was resisted by himself—because the current Morpheus is an existence outside of Byzantine, his guilt is basically not, and no one will pursue it.

"I didn't expect you to do this." The Duke of Acar nodded, and there was a trace of sound in the voice, but in the end he didn't lose his gaze in front of everyone. "But that's enough. I'm very proud of what you did."

Lilith behind Morpheus lowered her head and was a little ashamed. She didn’t know why, after experiencing this series of events, she suddenly had an impulse, a little impulse that originated from the heart of a sensual woman-the finger was raised Lifting up, she seemed to want to hold Morpheus's hand, but she gathered her courage and stretched out her palm, but grabbed an empty space, because Morpheus happened to turn around to express her gratitude to Minos, not paying attention to this tiny detail.

This does not mean that Duke Windsor did not see him. He raised his eyebrows and did not speak. He just looked at Lilith and smiled. Lilith, who was aware of this, blushed transparently, but this episode Immediately concealed by the honours of the seventeen knights who survived.

There has never been a precedent in the history of Byzantine where the soldiers just returned from the battlefield to receive the medal, but the Duke of Windsor broke it with one hand. After the seventeen knights stepped off the carriage, he stood in front of them. A medal of honor was awarded to this squadron whose organization had completely disappeared.

There are not only seventeen knights in the long line, but there are more than one hundred coffins converging the fallen knights in the back. Lord Duke did not drop one. He placed the medals on the soldiers who were sleeping on the battlefield. Above the coffin.

Morpheus silently looked at his father’s slightly aged back, listening to the names of the fallen knights and their merits that the duke of the Empire sternly read out, but he remembered the similar situation he faced in Barrich. Mixed flavors.

And Lilith was standing a few meters away from Morpheus. After several escapes, she looked at the silent guy with surprise, the previous impulse in her heart faded a little bit-she understood that she and Morpheus In the same way, I have never returned to the time when I had never experienced war and was full of fantasies about the world

Just now, she rejected the Duke’s award, and personally pinned the Medal of Honor to the Morpheus chest of the Byzantine Medal in her lifetime. Morpheus did not reject it, just stayed low. The head accepted everything silently-including the hug where Lilith finally opened her arms suddenly.

The ceremony was short, but Morpheus understood that he would not stay here for too long. After visiting the injuries of Hiddink, Corvin, and Boozer, although some of his friends smiled, they could not conceal the sadness caused by the heavy losses of the Knights. However, after Hiddink explained the specific reasons why the Cavalry Regiment encountered so, Morpheus did not say anything directly to find Deco, who had not admitted his mistake until now, and Sarah who had fought with himself.

The leaders of the two noble knights didn’t even think that it would be Morpheus who went deep into the enemy’s position and rescued these knights. Their meeting with Morpheus was extremely simple-so simple that they didn’t even arrive in five minutes.

In short, no one knows what happened in those five minutes. It was just that when the medical team in the military camp arrived at the scene, the two family geniuses who had been strong and strong had been beaten. The reply was completely shaking his head.

Sara and Deco, who could not have swallowed this breath, got a very simple message from the Morpheus mouth-the walls of the four military fortresses on the border of the Nale State were completely demolished overnight, and the plan was to attack Byzantine The lord of the cavalry regiment was thrown into the death cell he made, and was torn to pieces by the prisoners he had tortured.

Although there is no rank of Byzantine, even the title is no longer valued, but this sudden appearance of Morpheus has invisibly made him occupy a terrible position in the eyes of this group of Byzantine upstarts.

Since then, no one dares to vilify the heir of the Purple Iris family at will.

After all this, Morpheus understood that he would not stay too long, because Minos, who had helped a lot, didn’t leave in a hurry, but received a new order from Varian-with Morpheus about the situation of the city of Sisrin Investigate and reach some possible "cooperation". So in the morning of the next day, Morpheus packed up his bags and prepared to embark on his return journey.

But obviously, his hurriedness made some people do not understand.

"Are you going away?"

I don’t know what the reason is that Lilith, who was always wearing military uniforms in the army, put on a long skirt when he found Morpheus the next day-it really made Morpheus shine, but he was not more profound. To understand why Lilith did this, she simply gave a simple answer to her question: "Barrich will still have war, and the'night watchman' needs to stand firm."

"When will you come back?"

Lilith’s long hair fluttered gently with the warming spring breeze, and her gaze deflected — she didn’t want Morpheus to see the loss in her eyes.

"I want to say that" Morpheus seems to have been thinking for a long time, and finally gave an answer that surprised Lilith: "If there is time, I will welcome you to be a guest."

He smiled, but he continued with some helplessness: "The Inquisition is still sensitive to me. It is not appropriate to go back now."

"Are you going to be a lord of other empire?"

Lilith stepped forward and stood in front of him, "Forever fighting in that strange land?"

"No, I won't be the lord." Morpheus lowered his head, sighed, and looked at Lilith's clear eyes, suddenly he was a little preoccupied-a few seconds later, he looked away and said, "I It’s just an heir looking for a way to return home safely."

Lilith was silent and did not answer.

"If possible, stay away from these wars."

Morpheus did not speak other words in the end, turned around and walked to the distant Hydera, whispered: "I really don’t want you to be rescued next time and I’m more afraid-I will take a step late."

"Uh."

Lilith ended the conversation with this short word, waved goodbye, nodded to the guy who jumped on the tap a few steps, and then watched him completely disappear in the smoke of the dragon.

"If I did it, would you come back?"

The young Knight Major looked at the sky and murmured softly.

Returning to the Morpheus of West Sellin, where he had mixed feelings, he sat on Hydera’s head from time to time looking at the cloud under him in a daze, while Minos, who was invited together, looked up at the sky and suddenly asked: "You The martial arts are different from the beginning-I mean, it has the shadow of a barbarian, right?"

Morpheus realized that when he was fighting Minos, the genius of the Consanas was the first round of pure physical attack-now I want to come, he used to use himself against himself. The barbarians who study now do exactly the same.

"Yes, I learned from a northern nobleman."

"Northern nobility? Not a barbarian?"

Minox’s expression suddenly became ridiculous, reaching for the hair that was tangled together, and said: "Let me guess, is it a face with a beard, three times the size of me, every day is silly? Guys?"

Morpheus turned back and did not accidentally answer: "Do you know Heisel?"

"The Quin family has been very strong recently. After the Grass family withdrew from the front line, they reunified the north with the barbarian corps and at the same time they had a posture of expanding to the south." Minos pointed to the sea of ​​clouds North, "But this is not important. The important thing is that although the barbaric martial arts have been rumored a lot, but the real essence, only two of the large northern nobles have learned."

"You and Heysel?" Morpheus is not difficult to guess what he said.

Minos made a grimace and really complained: "I am a little embarrassed to say so straightforwardly, but obviously, this is indeed the case, but the barbarian combat skills are not what you learned. The fur, the real content, you can’t touch it yet.”

"What content?" Morpheus remembered the terrifying explosive power of Heisel's stature, "The right way to use it?"

"That's too obvious. If the barbarians are really just a group of warriors with simple minds and limbs, how can the northern nobles find a way to invade south in the harsh environment that they can't make ends meet?"

Minos shook his finger, "What did that say-'All roads lead to ancient Siga', those strong men may have different professions, but they will be on the final path It’s almost the same as last time. Your a-level is indeed very high, but you may not know that in the past barbarian clan, the characters above the a-level may account for half of the entire continent."

"Of course, that was hundreds of years ago, and now only the old guy has such a powerful strength."

Minos sighs, Morpheus frowns and thinks about his words-Andalil can still play far beyond its own level of strength even without the scary level, which is enough to confirm Minos There is nothing wrong with his words, but what is the purpose of saying so?

"What do you want to discuss about the cooperation between "Creed" and West Sisterin?" He suddenly asked: "Economy? Manpower? Intelligence? Or something else?"

"The creed does not fully represent the strength of the Consanas family, so the first thing to understand is that the cooperation is not the'Consanas family'-this is an external rhetoric, understand?" Minos changed from lying down In a sitting position, holding the dragon horn in his hand, he continued: "My grandfather seems to value you very much. The "creed" does not need to gain anything within your power. The so-called cooperation is in my opinion only my grandfather's unilateral show. Can't figure out why."

He made a grimace, "but following the topic just now-if you want to continue to learn the barbarian martial arts, then I can introduce you to the strong guy I said."

"That barbarian?"

"But you need my approval first-I know I can't beat you, but for the use of power, you are far from the level that the old guy can see."

The condition suddenly thrown by Minos made Morpheus a little emotional. This is an opportunity for his strength to become stronger. He knows clearly that if he always relies on training or self-enlightenment, his advanced speed is far inferior to the one. The guidance of the mentor with strong strength comes quickly, which is enough from the guidance process of Della and Don Quixote~IndoMTL.com~ I will consider it. "

But in the face of these possible unique opportunities, Morpheus still chose to give up temporarily. His answer made Minos stunned. This guy reached out and shook in front of Morpheus, asking: "It’s not because of the high altitude and the brain is confused. Alright? Did you hear what I was talking about?"

"I heard clearly and I gave the answer."

Morpheus sighed, and turned to the city that was faintly visible in the sea of ​​clouds under Hydera, "I am not arrogant or stupid, but I understand what I need most now."

Just got some glimpse about the portal, Morpheus must follow the way to find out-whether there is another portal in Arantis, can you find clues about Ashkandi? All of this exceeded the expectation of "becoming stronger as soon as possible" in Morpheus's mind. For him now, power is not the goal, but the condition of achieving the goal. It is not worthwhile to blindly pursue a strong result. This is after Morpheus has experienced strength True feelings.

Minos fell into thought, and after carefully recalling the difference between him and Morpheus, he was a little shocked.
