Black Scepter Chapter 7: Some things to talk about

Every day today, the red ticket is random, and it is also possible to take a full day and take a graduation photo before graduation tomorrow. The day after tomorrow should be explosive.

……………………………………………

The Byzantine Empire has ushered in a snow that has not been seen in many years.

It stands to reason that the pleasant climate of Constantinople is close to the sea. The typical Mediterranean climate makes it mild and rainy in winter. However, the strangeness of the snow that has not been seen for many years has excited many children who have not seen snow in their lifetime Abnormalities also make many people frown.

Beside St. Pamel Theological Seminary, students are praying collectively. The news that the empire is about to launch a small-scale war has spread throughout the country. The most thing priests and monks are doing today The soldiers on the battlefield prayed, and the heavy snow seemed to confirm something in the dark, so the orders and announcements issued by the Patriarch Lord were unprecedented, making people feel that this war has some extraordinary meaning.

Jiande seems to have lost the habit of looking at the door.

He won’t be here.

In my heart, Joan of Arc had lost his black robe and reached out to shake the snowflakes on his shoulders. After praying, he suddenly remembered something, and finally turned his head to look at the gate of the seminary.

This time, she saw a familiar figure.

The gray cloth, even in the snow, is still thin without a thick cloak. Under the hood pulled up, you can vaguely see the old and kind face.

Aquinas beckoned towards Jeanne in the church square in front of St. Pamel College.

The little girl froze for a moment, covered her mouth, and held back some tears with excitement. She ran over as soon as she walked, but when she saw a gesture made by the old man, she quickly slowed down but couldn't stop her Live tears slipped on the back of the hand.

I haven’t seen Aquinas in a few months. Jeanne, who lived for the first time in independent life, really missed this gentle and wise old man. She stopped in front of Aquinas, reached out her eyes, tried to smile but said no Speak up.

"What have you learned here for so long here?"

Aquinas reached out and took off the hood, smiling and looking at Joan of Arc with a small face that was red because of the cold.

Jeand shook his head at the corner of his eyes and said softly: "Not many."

"That's enough." The old man nodded, satisfied, and then whispered: "To become a qualified shepherd, not only need to understand where the road is, but also know that fences are sometimes borders, sometimes obstacles. "

Jiande, wearing a black Byzantine priest robe, nodded seriously, and then hesitantly wanted to say something, but found that the old man looked at himself a little crampedly, suddenly knowing his point of careful thought was seen through, his face healed Redness.

"He went to a distant place and it might take a long time to come back."

Aquinas light channel.

"How long?"

"Maybe wait until you stand on Pierce Peak overlooking the Parish of Prague."

Aquinas blinked, Pierce Peak, and the Parish of Prague. When these things are connected, they can only point to one answer-the bishop of the Prague territory of Byzantine, the first largest parish.

Jiangde ignorant, I don’t know what this sentence of Aquinas means, but I blinked and asked, "Is he going a long way?"

"I believe you can go there."

"En!"

Jiande nodded, with a little relief, he didn’t talk too much with the old man anymore, this old man who seemed to be busy with many things left the gate of the seminary and never stepped into the academy from beginning to end .

Jiande did not invite the old man to take a rest, but Aquinas shook his head lightly and refused, without explaining the reason.

......

Constantinople seems to be calm in the last month, but the upper class aristocratic circles have never lacked heavyweight news as talks.

One news is that the daughter of Prince Hades completed the school directly from Cauchy School of Knighthood, and then entered the second echelon of the Knights who was originally prepared for the missing heir of the Windsor family, and the prince and Knights of the Round Table father had no nonsense, A set of standard equipment was thrown directly to his biological daughter, and he didn't care anymore, not even a superfluous sergeant.

Another news is that the Duke’s House of Windsor has recovered from the silence of the past since receiving a woman in black robe. The Duke, who had locked himself in the mansion for several days before, seems to have recovered his previous calmness. All day long for the upcoming war to and fro between the palace and the military department, without being affected in any way.

As for who the black-robed woman is, some people have verified that the ordinary magic teacher working in Tarens School, the result is that Windsor has been reduced to a laughing stock-whenever it is, just find a magician and you want to solve it. The problem?

Anyone is already a purple iris, and no one is waiting to die.

It’s just that no one knows what the magician Della and the last mysteriously arrived Aquinas discussed in the Duke’s Palace of Windsor. The only news that the nobles learned from that day is that the Inquisition of the Inquisition on the border seems to increase. Bigger.

The Byzantine in winter is a little bleak, and it seems to herald a turbulent period of the Empire.

......

The temperature in Hera City has dropped a lot after entering the winter. Pedestrians on the street are wrapped in thick cloaks. When the cold wind blows, they seem to be reluctant to look up, squinting their eyes and breathing in their hands, just thinking Go home and face the warm fireplace.

However, in the dark Dongcheng slave market, the figure of a young man suddenly seemed to break the silence brought by the cold.

Gray-white shirt, leather buttons and dark brown leather boots, the face can not be seen under the hood pulled up, only a stubble chin can be seen, and objects like arrows are hanging on the back. A short sword in the waist, like a mercenary or a bounty hunter.

It’s just that the folded ear cat lying lazily on his shoulder makes the supposed serious atmosphere look funny. The gray striped cat sometimes covers the teenager’s vision with his tail. The latter doesn’t reach out, just His eyes looked coldly at the slaves who were imprisoned and trembling, and came straight to the registration place in the arena, tapping on the dirty and not wide table in the chapter.

The napping manager raised his head, his expression froze for a moment, and then handed out a token with both hands in a passionate attitude that was diametrically opposed to the first time he faced Morpheus, and then personally led the way to the road The road to the arena.

Morpheus has never pulled out a silver coin from beginning to end.

"Last time."

Looking at the gloomy sky disappearing into view, the Morpheus face walking into the passage seems to be much more mature than it was a month ago.

After the game that smashed half of the Tekken Arena’s rice bowl, Morpheus killed all the enemies in the next three games like a bamboo shoot, and almost didn’t do it himself—because this is just what he called Sphinx Si's cat is enough to kill any enemy in seconds.

One of the arena pillars in the arena was killed and one was taken away by direct abduction. As the person in charge, Fabre really wanted to let the hidden assassin kill him directly when he handed over thousands of gold coins to the Morpheus at the end of the game. After Lord Lord got the news there, Fabre put on a professional smiley face and took out an agreement to ask whether Morpheus agreed to cooperate with the Tekken Arena.

The cooperation conditions are three games, 10% of the gambling profit belongs to Morpheus, after three games, everything is even.

The Morpheus agreed to this agreement without much hesitation-staying in the field for a while and seeing each other in the future, he did not expect that he would inadvertently almost go bankrupt in the arena, although not so serious, but nowhere in a foreign country It is not a wise move to establish an arena with a strong backstage as its enemy when it is unreliable, so after following two consecutive competitions arranged by the arena according to the agreement, Morpheus relied on Sphinx for the arena Earned a profit of more than 100,000 gold coins.

Among them, the first match was the "Vase" Yalong, which had been raised in the three-headed arena for a long time, but had never appeared in actual combat. The monsters in the Yalong category are really not suitable for fierce battles. They are chicken-ribbed characters, and they are not useful. Therefore, they can only be used to deal with such negotiated "exhibition games." Finks **** anatomy.

And the second time was a whole knighthood-yes, it was a fortified knighthood with a population of forty-five people, and was a captive of the border battle of the sacred Gabriel Empire, although its strength was not strong. , But enough for those who watch the arena game to know what a real knightly charge ~IndoMTL.com~ but their end is caused by the Morpheus three "element cutting circle" which expanded to ten meters in diameter. In the area of ​​quicksand, it became a snack of Sphinx.

Today's Morpheus ushered in his last battle in the arena, and is also the "final chapter" of the cumulative action of capital-if according to the agreement, after this game is over, Morpheus may get more than 20,000 gold coins Divided into rewards, although it is not good to hear that he still counts his life and earns money, he has indeed received enough benefits comparable to his risk.

After a series of simple procedures, Morpheus once again stood in the center of the arena.

Now, he has become the game object that the entire Hera city nobles want to watch-because of the unbelievable deeds before Morpheus and the nearly invincible cooperation between him and Sphinx, this is getting bigger and bigger. The **** effect of curiosity has caused today's market to soar more than 70,000 gold coins before the enemy has appeared!

It's just that when the opposite cage opened and slowly walked out of the pale guys, Morpheus's eyes narrowed suddenly.

Blood.

This kind of guy who should have been burned to death in the sacred Gabriel empire has become a play in the arena to attract eyeballs. I don’t know whether it is the misfortune of this country or the misfortune of the blood race.

Alternatively, religious misfortune?

Sphinx, who smelled the dark species, jumped off Morpheus’s shoulder. The bell hung on his neck, but he didn’t even make a sound during the violent movement, but it continued. The forward movement was stopped by the footsteps of Morpheus.

Morpheus was blocked in front of Sphinx, and one person slowly pulled out the Naples dagger, striding towards the three unlucky long-lived species of the sacred Gabriel empire.

"I think we need to talk about some things before the war."
