The summit of Montenegro, a small area second only to the Supreme Palace at the top of the mountain, is the real upper echelon of the empire, inhabited by a group of people with the highest power, the richest resources, and the most powerful military power in the country, and even on the continent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The snow melts from the top of the mountain into clear streams, which converge into a small lake in a col, and an ancient castle stands by the lake, and every brick and stone that casts this castle is a testimony of history and a precious legacy of this empire. But unlike the Dorrag Castle, where Generalissimo Rethusus lived, this castle was not very different on the outside, but on the inside it was a completely different world......

Crystal-paved floors, pillars made of pure gold, carpets woven with silk behind human-faced spiders, curtains woven with down of immortal birds, living spaces expanded by the magic of space, heirlooms created by masters of art of various races and craftsmen...... This kind of luxury is no longer something that can be described by the crude and pale word "magnificence".

Magical candles made of mermaid fat reflect the entire interior of the castle in a soft and warm glow, and every twelve steps you can see two beautiful elven maids standing on either side of the corridor, smiling and bowing their heads, their bodies standing motionless like sculptures no matter how long they stand.

In a secret reception room inside the castle, several old men of no small age sat around the sofas, their faces ranging from shrewd and capable to fierce and proud, but they all had one thing in common: the self-confidence, calmness, and ruthlessness that had been cultivated by being in a high position for a long time.

Look closer. The couch under them...... No, every piece of furniture in this living room is very unusual. This sofa, this coffee table. This lamp stand, this table and chair, every piece of furniture here is not made of wood and metal, but a vivid human body, in a distorted posture, with an incomparably metamorphosed abstract aesthetic combined with each other. Their expressions are so vivid, their skin is so smooth and delicate that no one will believe that they are a wax forgery from some great artist. And that's exactly what happened to every piece of furniture here. They are all made from living people.

Human Furniture ...... Furniture made by using magical and evil necromancy to permanently solidify living beings into a specific posture is a "masterpiece" of human beings whose cruelty and aesthetic development have reached the pinnacle. If you look closely, the faces of these human bodies that make up the furniture are so familiar...... The forbidden spell mage who once annihilated tens of thousands of troops in the empire in one fell swoop, the Grand Magus of the Seven Towers Alliance, who has the title of Scarlet Witch, the elven queen Eluni VII who has guarded the dark jungle for thousands of years, the legendary troll shaman, and the prophet Gamaran White Fang, who once quelled a war with beauty and purity. Helen, the little princess of Emiro's thousand-year-old empire, and the charming Lady Sukaterina, the number one beauty in Montenegro before Count Amanda, and ......

These are legends. These names should be permanently recorded in the epic, and at this moment, they are actually used as a piece of furniture. Appeared in this secret reception room, which was not very large. They're still alive...... This is also their greatest misfortune.

In this weird and obscene room, every man is so calm. They smoke swarthy pipes and occasionally sip on the fine wine on the "coffee table" in front of them. They looked no different from the participants of a men's midnight card party hosted by an average family. But perhaps no one would believe that every strand of tobacco in their pipes was worth a whole gold brick, and that every sip they drank was enough to make a small town dweller drink milk for a day.

The men were silent until a man of about forty years of age tapped his pipe a few times and said, "Has the news been confirmed?"

A slightly younger man next to him immediately replied, "It has been confirmed by many people who attended that reception two days ago that there is indeed a child who looks like Count Amanda, and his name has been confirmed, Golia, Christian, Tabris, von Huwen." ”

Huwen ...... Hehehe, is it really the lost son of that lowly executioner family? It's really funny, I remember that Amanda's slut's brother disappeared for a long time, although I heard that he appeared two years ago, and then mysteriously disappeared immediately, it seems that a lot of things have happened within this lowly family. ”

Originally, an outlier among the nobles, it can be said that the executioner family is even more humble than the status of the lower nobles, and it is not the turn of the big people in this secret room to worry about their affairs, but who called the lowly executioner family is that there is a glamorous beautiful man, a Count Amanda who dominates the crowd with a man's body and wins the title of "the first beauty in the imperial capital".

"In the past few years, Amanda's slut has been so arrogant, even we sometimes have to avoid and tolerate him, now it's okay, our Supreme Majesty now has a new favorite, and now all his thoughts are on that giant demon, Amanda Huwen, hum, a mere executioner, I must cut his body open with my own hands, dig out his internal organs to make dishes, and then cut off his head and make it into a specimen of my hunting exhibition hall. ”

"Barsolona, you're still so tasteless, and you're just indulging in boring hunting...... An art treasure like Amanda, don't you think he should be kept at home and trained to be a well-behaved cat. I have a few orc slaves who are very good at this, and my precious pet you have seen quite a few before......" A tall man with a very feminine face said with a wicked smile, and then he smiled and continued with a bit of seriousness on his face: " Amanda has undoubtedly fallen out of favor, but it is not complete enough, although our supreme emperor likes the new and hates the old, but Amanda should not be completely tired of this toy, I arranged in the palace to report to me this morning, at breakfast, the emperor suddenly arranged for someone to pack a pastry on the table and send it to Amanda's mansion, saying that he vaguely remembered that he seemed to like to eat this kind of thing. This proves that the Emperor was not completely oblivious to him. If we act rashly, it may cause very bad results. Don't forget, the people who can sit in this room. Over the years, there have been several less. ”

"Klockdahl is right, it's not yet time for us to do it, and even if we do, it's better not to target Amanda directly, we can start with the Huwen family behind him, this newfound child, he may be able to come in handy. ”

"And...... Don't you think it would be nice to have this kid and Amanda that slut on the bed? They looked alike, but one was like a ripe peach. The other is a sour and irritating Qingguo ......" The man who said this suddenly showed a lewd and ugly smile on his face, and his smile seemed to be contagious, and after a while, most of the people in this room already had very similar smiles on their faces, and they all seemed to have roughly the same content in their minds.

"That's right, this should be a very good experience for the Emperor as well. A cold voice suddenly sounded in the room, speaking a man with a cold expression all the time, and his body exuded a cold and piercing killing intent, with this secret room, it seemed a little out of place with those obscene old men in the secret room.

His words interrupted the illusions of these old people like a basin of cold water. They said with a displeased expression, but they had to hold back: "General Zuode, what do you mean by this. ”

The man who suddenly spoke was actually the second person in the Imperial military after the dragoon general Letusus. Great General Zuode. He smiled coldly and said, "The Emperor likes new and interesting things, things that he used to like. The pampered person will always get bored with it in a month or two and then abandon it mercilessly. But Amanda broke this rule. The Emperor's favor lasted for seven years, seven years! If it weren't for this once-in-a-lifetime monster that suddenly appeared, I'm afraid the Emperor's gaze would still not take a single inch off Amanda's body, which is enough to show how terrifying the charm of that guy is. And now, even you are so interested in the boy who suddenly appeared, and want to get him and Amanda together to enjoy and play, don't we the Supreme Emperor have such thoughts and impulses? If I were Amanda, I would never miss this opportunity to draw the Emperor's gaze back to me. ”

Everyone in the room can be called cunning, and they thought of many things in an instant, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became a little ugly.

After a while, the man who spoke first spoke spoke again: "General Zuode is right, this matter may be more complicated than we expected before, the most important plan of our 'Skull and Bones Society', the 'Long Sunset' is about to take place, no variables will be allowed during this period, Amanda will most likely become an obstacle to us, and he will never be allowed to gain the favor of the Emperor again, we can't touch Amanda easily, then we must take the first step to hold that child in our hands." ”

This man's status is obviously higher than that of others, after he spoke, there was no voice of opposition and questioning, paused, his eyes swept over the faces of everyone in the room, and then he smiled and said: "Fortunately, this child is now in the hands of a low-level nobleman, he can't leave Montenegro without my permission, although he has been jumping around for the past two days, I don't think anyone dares to disobey our 'Skull and Bones Society' for a low-level nobleman, it seems that I need to send someone to meet our little beauty." ”

This matter is not small, but it is not big, after all, what "owns" Goron now is just a low-level nobleman, and in the eyes of these really big people, there is no difference between them and commoners, not to mention that they are still behemoths in the political arena of the imperial capital, the supreme patriarch of the "Skull and Bones Society". This kind of thing can be handled by arranging for someone to handle it through magic communication. Soon an arrogant carriage rushed out of the castle and sped towards the noble quarter below the mountain.

These big men smoked and drank, and the topic changed one after another, and then the big man suddenly said: "Recently, I bought two old street girls, and sure enough, as in the legend, although these girls are not the best in terms of appearance and figure, but the means of serving people are simply intimate." They always know what you need most, what you want to hear the most, what you like to do the most, and can soothe you like a mother when you are tired, and when you need it physically, even if you are a little old and there is always something you can't do in that regard, they also have a way to get you back to strength, and then let you destroy you like a little bird in bed, so that you can get the maximum satisfaction. Oh, my God...... I can't live without them at all. It's not at all comparable to the group of elf slaves who just have better faces, but are always lifeless like an alchemy machine, and I took all the boring elf women in the house to make specimens in a fit of anger, so that their faces can look a little better, I think you all saw it when you entered the house. ”

Hearing the "Daughter of the Old Street", the general Zuode, who was always a little out of place in the atmosphere of the house, suddenly frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but at this moment, a rapid magic bell suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, and then an old man picked up a magic accessory with a displeased face, stroked it with his fingers, and then a voice came from the accessory.

The voice was not loud, the old man listened quietly, but the expression on his face was getting more and more angry, and finally he just said coldly to the accessories: "I don't need waste, you, and your family, can go to die, tomorrow morning, let your successor come to me with your head." ”

After saying these cold and heartless words, the old man turned off the magic communication accessory and was silent for a long time before he said to the others, "We are too late, someone has already taken the child first. ”

"Who is it?" the old people in the room did not shout, their anger did not need to be expressed in such a crude way, but just by looking at the solemn atmosphere in the room, it was clear how much it would cost to appease their anger.

The old man's face was suddenly a little strange, and he struggled for a long time before he slowly spit out a name, a name that silenced the other old men.

"That man is...... Rethusus. (To be continued.) )
