Black Scepter Chapter 48: Sudden kiss
>It is still five thousand words, thanks to the friends who participated in it!
"You have a deep understanding of defensive magic circles?" Morpheus did not follow his words directly, but referred to the scene that just happened, "It is difficult to improve a circle with a level of more than seventy, but You can easily find the weaknesses and correct them. This is not easy. WwW. NgWeNXuE. M"
"That's why I don't think it's as good as I imagined here." Creevey reached out and stroked his greasy hair. "I haven't found a more suitable book to read here in the field of defense magic circle. What he did was start to study the power of various offensive spells and choose the defensive spells with the lowest energy consumption to deal with."
"No class?"
Morpheus asked unexpectedly.
"I am now a visiting professor of "Defensive Formation" at seven magic schools in Byzantine, usually I go to teach others," Creevey Hua said, but without a trace of pride, "but this seems to be My limit is exceeded, maybe my level will not improve by a few decades."
Morpheus understands that his "level" does not refer to his own strength but academic research level-it stands to reason that it can reach the cutting-edge level of the Imperial Defense Magic Array field in less than two years, which is no longer possible Described as "genius", but such a piece of pure jade that just showed some light, but it has to worry about its talents gradually lagging behind due to the insufficient level of the Imperial College of Magic and the classics.
"Can Dean Freud guide you?"
"I became his student in the third month after entering school, but three months later he said that I have reached his height in the field of defensive formation." At this moment, his strength only reached the low level Archmage He told the fact that this other mage might be jealous to death.
"So what are your plans next?"
"Finding." The Creevey always looks dull and suddenly a little light shines, "Looking for some areas that interest me-for example, the area where the one-handed element you just showed is annihilated by many mages. , I think most of the reason is just because of their fear and compliance with the teachings of those predecessors. You can wipe out a nearly perfect defensive circle, which means that I still have a long way to go."
Morpheus understood what he was going to say next. He pointed directly to the west and said, "Are you interested in going to Balice? I plan to set up a magic academy and build a core defense magic like Pansell School of Magic Tower, but obviously I need someone who is good at defensive circles to study these problems-and I will have many problems for you."
Creevey’s gaze slowly lifted, and the old-fashioned face showed a smile, whispering: "Including element annihilation?"
"You will not be disappointed."
Morpheus nodded
The atmosphere of Constantinople’s palace has been a bit cold recently.
Because the sailing fleet is not sailing smoothly, this Edward III has frowned all day long on all fronts in the mainland-the development of routes is something that Constantinople has always insisted on, but with the recent Half of the fleet returned to the port, he found that it seems that the voyage did not bring pure wealth.
The damaged soldiers and ships were caused by a sudden coup in the Osgerian Empire. The original emperor Sulaiman I was cut off by his illegitimate son. The latter successfully ascended the throne and prepared to start a wave of large-scale territory. Expansion-Constantinople, not far away, seemed to immediately become the target of this majesty. The merchandise ships that had just risen in trade volume were detained overnight, and the barely escaped ones were all sunk and overwhelmed by the overtaking warships. The Fleet returning from the Far East was also attacked in Kai Osgeria, and the bitter consequences caused by this made Edward III very unhappy.
Daily routine meetings began to become deserted, because he rarely appeared in the conference room recently, and only a few noble ministers looked at each other to discuss some marginal problems, and when Duke Windsor took the sea When the picture appeared in the conference hall, the emperor still did not appear.
Two hours later, the routine meeting time ended, the nobles left, but the Duke Acar stayed here-but obviously he would not be the only one who wanted to meet His Majesty eagerly, not long after, Graheide, the leader of the "sword of adjudication" from the Inquisition, sat beside the Duke, waiting in silence.
Obviously, there will be no harmonious scenes between the two of them. The original magnificent "Sword of Adjudication" of the Inquisition was frightened by the news that the six-headed dragon Hydera was frightened overnight. This is completely The ruling department, which has always been running sideways, has suffered from unprecedented sorrow. It can no longer raise its head in front of the nobles of the empire-deliberately late today, naturally, do not want to face the sneering faces of the nobles of the House of Lords.
Although Duke Windsor does not laugh at each other, he does not sneer.
"Unexpectedly, your son can have the ability today, the Inquisition has never been so humiliated by a person, I think you understand what this means."
Graheide broke the silence and threw the duke to the absolute opposite in two sentences-obviously they are not willing to "commit to a compromise" to please an imperial prince.
"Yeah, we always find others wrong first, but we have tolerated our faults countless times. If the referee's attitude towards my son when he came to the Duke's Palace, if I don't care about it, then Morpheus will leave the high-standard'carriage' 'Attitude, I don't think you should care about it-so we don't have any contradictions, don't you?" Duke Acar will naturally not have any stage fright in the face of this political tone, "but the fact is often that you will go Find a more appropriate way to sanction the enemy, such as now?"
"Sanctions? Shouldn’t sanctions be heretics?"
Graheed sneered, but stopped the words, because the majesty in front of him had already stepped into the main hall, looking at them seriously.
The Duke and Graheide saluted immediately. The imperial monarch, who did not meet in the morning meeting, did not seem to be sullen or sleepy, but frowned slightly, sitting directly after the throne symbolizing the apex of power. Asked to Graheide: "The sword of adjudication? The last time you came here seemed to have been a matter of three years ago. Why, the matter that the Patriarch's Holy Court could not solve was pushed to me again?"
Obviously this is not a matter of dealing with things or preparing to express justice. The monarch’s voice is always low and full of energy without anger. His eyes are lazy and he is staring at him infrequently in the palace hall. The guy said: "Say, what's the matter."
Knowing that the majesty in front of him seems to be very disgusted with himself, but Graheide had to bluntly report the Morpheus and the dragon intimidating the Inquisition, and after he finished speaking, the entire conference hall fell silent.
Duke Windsor said nothing in silence. It seemed that he did not intend to make any rebuttal to the slightly derogatory description of the other party. He just looked down at the ground and waited for the decision of the monarch in front of him.
"A giant dragon appeared in Constantinople?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, all parties in the Tribunal can prove this."
"You also said, that is a real, huge pure-blooded dragon, right?"
The lazy questioning made people shudder.
Graheide didn’t know what to answer, so he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and nodded.
"Then you will feel that when a real dragon appears in Constantinople, the entire palace, including the magic corps and guards of the entire empire, have not monitored its existence, and only your hands are dimly lit. I saw this in the night-Well, guy who is more than 100 meters long?"
This sentence made the other person's question blank.
Yeah, no one in the city has seen a dragon bigger than six churches. Why is it true that several people in your religious tribunal bite it all at once?
The Duke of Acar wanted to laugh, but had to hold back. Graheide's face next to him was extremely ugly. Obviously he could not directly hit anything, and finally he took a few breaths and hurriedly retreated-the back view looked very angry. light.
"Oh, this group of guys really treat me as their own territory."
Turning his head to face Windsor, His Majesty Graham’s face was much more relaxed. "Why, finally, I want to show me something that is not nonsense?"
The Duke Windsor holds the logbook and chart in his hands, but he can't stop talking.
"Okay, I know what Morpheus has done. Freud has reported to me last night. Obviously he is smarter than I thought. If it collapses a few places elsewhere House, I don’t have this easy to dismiss that guy." He saw at a glance what the Duke was thinking, and laughed: "Dragon Knight is not a bard in his mouth that will only save the princess's idiot, I I have to say that your son earned an unimaginable honor for the Purple Iris family."
The Duke stretched his eyebrows and reached for the chart. "Morpheus brings more than a "dragon knight" status. Perhaps these things can make the development of the empire smoother." "
"Oh?"
Edward Edward III reached out and took over the chart. After just glancing at it, he was deeply attracted. Then he picked up the logbook and read it a few pages, then put it down lightly. He actually laughed and said: "The future prosperity of the empire , Starting with this chart."
When Morpheus returned from Pansell School of Magic to the Ducal Palace, Little Loli Andalil was looking at the knight sculpture at the door with Vatican. Morpheus sent Andalil to the butler Palfa for some books, and then pushed Ashcandi returned to the living room of the Duke’s Palace, but she was also recognized as heretic by the Inquisition, but suddenly turned her head and said softly: "You have changed."
"Huh?"
Morpheus raised his eyebrows.
"I used to see the uneasiness and anger hidden in the depths of your soul. That kind of emotion is hidden deep, but now they are all gone, leaving only the simplest calm." Ashkandi said He said, but he lowered his head slightly, "I thought no one would be able to do this, which is really unexpected."
"What does this mean?"
Morpheus pushed her into the hall of the Duke’s Palace. The servant pushed the door silently and placed the afternoon tea on the table in the hall, then quietly retreated.
Ashkandi leaned back slightly, raised his head with a smile, the green eyes looked at Morpheus, and said softly: "This shows that I found the guy like me."
Stopped, Morpheus looked down at Ashcandy in front of him, and suddenly felt that it seemed like he should do something in this situation
He hesitantly lowered his head, stretched out his hands, and gently held Ashcandy’s face—
Then kissed.
This is a slightly sudden and involuntary kiss.
Morpheus feels a little ignorant in his head, and the time seems to slow down all the time. The lips of the blood family are always slightly cold, but Morpheus has an addictive obsession for no reason-but he was quickly caught by Ashkandi The gently closed teeth bit into the lips and woke up and looked up.
The confused Morpheus pursed his lips involuntarily, reminiscing the feelings he had just experienced, but he saw Andaril not far away staring at himself and Ashcandy curiously-while sitting in a wheelchair in front of him She was already shy and could not lift her head.
"What are you doing?"
"Cough"
Morpheus coughed twice, then pointed to the doorway behind the hall: "Palfa found those books for you?"
Andariel also seems to know that he has broken something. He looks at the two with a strange expression, without saying anything, and finally turns around: "It should be found soon, I will go and see."
The ghostly little loli then walked away, and didn't seem to care what she had just seen.
"Just now-cough I can't help myself."
Morpheus picked up an exquisite tea cup and poured a lot of it, turned his head and found Ashkendy with a red face looking at himself. Although he was uncomfortable and shy, he kept looking straight.
This situation, this scene, quite a bit "everything goes without saying".
However, Lord Duke who returned to the mansion unintentionally destroyed this little ambiguous moment. When he walked into the hall, he saw Morpheus and Ashcandi staring at him for a moment, and he could see if he was hesitating Silently walked through the hallway and left the house directly, but when he saw Morpheus turned to greet himself, the Duke still smiled and said, "It seems that I accidentally disturbed something good, but some things just happen to inform you."
"Your Majesty recognized its value?"
Morpheus exhaled.
"I'm afraid it's beyond your imagination." The Duke's joy was beyond words, "But I didn't dare to agree to his request."
Morpheus raised his eyebrows.
"The day after tomorrow, there will be a banquet held in the Royal Palace, Your Majesty invited you to attend in person-of course, you have the right to refuse."
This sentence made him agree without much hesitation, and then looked at Ashcandy: "Can I take her?"
This time it was the Duke’s eyebrows.
"Your Majesty finds me a young nobleman who is not yet married-oh, not to boast-a dragon knight and a powerful imperial hero to attend the banquet he personally hosted, I think those royal princesses must be And will attend""
This time the Duke showed a clear expression, but said helplessly: "How many people are married to the royal family can't be desired."
"But I am not rare."
Morpheus shrugged, then turned back to make a face at Ashkandi, smirked twice, and said no more.
And the latter turned to look out the window and smiled lightly
Unlike the happy state of the Duke’s Palace, the atmosphere inside the Inquisition is similar to the ice cellar.
Graheide, the sword of adjudication, was banned by the monarch in three sentences, and he did not have conclusive evidence to prove that a giant dragon had really appeared in the square and that this guy had six terrifying heads— —The triumphant members of the tribunal have made countless oaths in the name of the Supreme God, but in the end they could not change the treatment that the tribunal was beaten into the cold palace.
Because the conclusion given by the Patriarchal Tribunal is simple and cruel-there is currently no need for the Patriarchal Tribunal to venge against an orthodox dragon knight.
The six major departments of the adjudication office, the sword of the adjudicator in charge of sanctions, was slapped in the face this time, and the other five departments were filled with indignation, but after hearing that Morpheus effortlessly broke free of shackles The fact with the cage was completely silent.
That magic circle, but even the angels of heaven can’t break free of imprisonment, how can he get rid of it when he raises his hand?
Ultimately~IndoMTL.com~ These guys who always hold the title of justice always put their methods on the former leader of the sixth division of the Inquisition.
Because of all the current clues, this is the only person who can talk to Morpheus positively without being deterred by his powerful force-Aquinas, the author of "Theology".
But the unlucky referee seems to have been completely unlucky. They sent a lot of people to find the traces of Aquinas, but they finally got a message that Aquinas had disappeared from Constantinople for a long time.
No one can take the Morpheus at all. What happened to the ruling sword that was humiliated by His Majesty the Emperor and Morpheus in succession has to be crushed and swallowed. There is no way at all.
When I heard that Morpheus was invited to attend the dinner hosted by His Majesty the Emperor, the last complaint of the referee was completely suffocated-this is already an obvious expression of His Majesty, who is now unable to live with Morpheus , That is, can not get along with the monarch of Byzantine.
The clerics of the Tribunal knew that they were not the existence of the sacred Gabriel Empire that could override the kingship. Now, it seems that Morpheus's escape from "sanctions" seems to be a foregone conclusion. (..)
