Chapter 42: The Starry Night Begins

When they saw Charlotte, Vivien and Lolita ran to Charlotte's side quickly, hugging Charlotte's waist firmly from left to right. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Not to mention, this feeling of being cared for by a disciple is really good!

Charlotte laughed and shaved the noses of the two Lori's Joans, "What's wrong?

Vivien shook her head sheepishly.

Lolita, on the other hand, covered her nose and snorted proudly, "Hmph! With the protection of Her Highness Sylvia, what do we have to be afraid of! ”

"Can a mere assassin hurt your teacher?" Charlotte raised her head proudly, "You haven't seen your teacher's demeanor playing with assassins, that calm demeanor, that peerless heroic posture, tsk! Even I can't help but be fascinated by myself!"

The two Loliten had obvious expressions of disbelief on their faces, which hurt Charlotte greatly.

On the other side, Lawrence catches up with Rebecca, who gets off the carriage. He held his wife's hands, looked up and down for a while, and exhaled deeply.

Then he straightened his collar and bowed to the carriage, "Thank you for your help, my lord!"

"Not necessarily. Sylvia's cold voice came from inside the carriage, "It's just a gesture." ”

Sylvia pushed the curtain of the carriage open, and the night was a little colder than her cold appearance. But when she looked at Charlotte, her eyes, which were originally like a frozen lake, took on a bit of warmth.

"Well done, it seems that you have gradually learned the true meaning of the mage. Remember, there are no useless spells, only incompetent mages. A good mage needs a lot of knowledge, while a strong mage must learn to control the rhythm. ”

After Sylvia finished speaking, she looked at Claire, who was listening with her head down, "The same thing for you, Claire." Today's events should also make you understand that the road ahead can only be carried out by you alone. ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" Claire nodded with a bow.

Sylvia closed the curtain disinterestedly after saying these words, but Charlotte, who knew her character well, had a thoughtful expression.

Although in the eyes of others, she is still the daughter of the frozen lake who is as cold as usual, but perhaps even Sylvia herself does not realize that since the trip to the Secret Law City, she has even talked more in the past six months than she has in the past few years.

Realizing that Sylvia was not interested in talking, Archduke Lawrence made a quick decision, and said to Rebecca, "Ma'am, we need to get out of here as soon as possible." Just now the knight interrogated the assassin, the other party is from the Dark Brotherhood, and it is Count Cecil who issued the mission!"

Hearing the indignant expressions of the insiders, Vivien Leigh held her sword and wanted to return to the county of Cecil and stab the fat man a few times.

"What! how dare he!" Rebecca covered her mouth with a surprised expression.

But the excellent qualities she had cultivated over the years in place of Lawrence made her quickly composed, and she quickly sensed something from it, "No! Even if he borrowed the courage of Count Cecil, he would not dare to take such a risk to assassinate the two archdukes! ”

"Prince Mesfield!" said Lawrence and Rebecca in unison.

Rebecca squeezed Lawrence's hand, "Lawrence, it seems that this time it is far more dangerous than imagined!

"No, Rebecca, you know, I can't go back!" Lawrence said in a deep voice, "and if she turns back at this point, Erosa will lose her righteous reputation. Even if this road leads to hell, I can only finish it. ”

He patted Rebecca's hand, turned to Charlotte and the others, and said, "But this is the path I chose, not yours!

Charlotte and Vivien Leigh glanced at each other and said in unison, "No!"

Charlotte smiled slightly, "Father, don't think this road is so terrifying! What if there are thousands of troops ahead? We have faced Gerald, the Lord of Darkness, and we have also fought with the Four Kings of Hell and forced back the Forest of Illusions, and even the Succubus Queen Lilith has been defeated at our hands! Prince Mesfield, can it be regarded as an obstacle to anything?"

"And ......," he pointed to the carriage, "with my sister here, even if the Lord of the Black is really here, as long as we want to leave, who can stop us?

"That's right!" Fei Wenli clenched her fists with full of fighting spirit, "As long as we work together, even if there is a nine-layer upper realm and an endless abyss in front of us, we can break through!"

The words of the brother and sister made the blood of the people present boil instantly, Lawrence let go of the hidden worries in his heart, he looked back at Rebecca who nodded, and laughed arrogantly!

"Hahaha...... I didn't expect to be taught a lesson by the juniors!That's right! What's the point of Mesfield, let them take a good look at the arrogance of our people in the North!" He said to Charlotte and the others, "Remember what you said at the moment, and then Rebecca's safety will be left to you!"

"Yes!

Rebecca looked at her growing children, and her originally frowning brows showed a smile of relief.

Lawrence turned on his horse and gave the order, "All of them, let's march to the imperial capital in the starry night!"

Under the starry sky, the Northern Territory United Team set off for the imperial capital again!

Five days later, the combined team was close to the inner circle of the imperial capital.

Unexpectedly, in the past five days, the group has never encountered any danger again.

The Battle of the Nameless Town has completely established the reputation of the northern team in the Empire's dark world, and even the veteran of the Dark Brotherhood, the legendary assassin Shadow Dagger, has been set up there, and along with it, it has also swept away the backbone of the Dark Brotherhood in recent years. The once formidable Brotherhood of Darkness is about to experience a decade of weakness.

With such a result, any force that dares to provoke the northern border needs to weigh it carefully, whether they can afford to digest such a piece of fat.

In this way, the peace along the way is also expected.

But Lawrence still didn't dare to relax, and he realized that it was just beginning. For the supreme ruler of the Duchy of Erossa, how to face the treacherous situation in the imperial capital next is the most important question for him to consider.

Strictly speaking, the San Lorenzo Empire was a collegial alliance of nobles. The Emperor of San Lorenzo was the lord and allied lord of all the nobles.

At the time of the Empire's founding, its sphere of influence was far from that large.

At that time, San Lorenzo occupied the relatively peaceful north-central Valcam, while powerful alien races ravaged the northern and southern Helm empires in an attempt to dominate the continent. These two forces were fended off by Erosa and Icewind Castle in the north and Hortson in the south, respectively.

San Lorenzo, which occupies the north-central part of the country, grew rapidly during this period, gradually becoming the strongest country at the time. The third king of San Lorenzo, known as Caele the Conqueror, rose to the occasion and used his force and prestige to unite the forces of Valcam in the north-central part of Valcam and form a strong offensive and defensive alliance to deal with the growing threat from both the north and the south.

This was what would become the Empire of San Lorenzo!

At that time, there were nine principalities that joined the alliance as independents, and today only seven principalities remain. These seven principalities had almost complete political and military freedom from the rest of the great nobles, so the seven grand dukes were figuratively called the seven kings of the empire.

And now, the San Lorenzo Empire is weakened, and the emperor, who is bent on reviving the empire, has died. Now that the authority of the royal family has almost fallen to the freezing point, seven kings with their own hearts will gather in the imperial capital.

The different interests of the Seven Kings, Prince Maysfield, who is bent on seizing supreme power, the Helm Empire, which has gradually recovered from the blows of the San Lorenzo Empire in recent years, and the proxy war between the gods of the upper realm and the mages of the roots!

The dispute between these forces will completely unveil the prelude to this century-long troubled era!

Just as the prophecy of many root kings - winter is coming!
