"Don't! Binglan, don't leave me! I cried out frantically. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Alex, wake up! Alex, we're here! ”

"Alex, what's wrong with you?"

Vivien and Gasha's anxious voices rang in their ears.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Vivien and Gasha's glassy faces, and I was lying on the big bed at Earl's Court. It turned out that the previous experience of parting from life and death turned out to be a dream! I exhaled softly.

"Alex, you're sweating a lot!" Vivien said worriedly.

I immediately realized that I was drenched in cold sweat. What a terrible dream! But it's like the real thing!

"Vivien, I'm fine."

"Alex, I'll change your clothes for you, they're all soaking wet, you're going to get cold." Vivien said and got up to find clothes for me.

"Alex, what's wrong with you?" While wiping the cold sweat from her forehead for me, Gasha Ruri asked, "You looked so scary before!" Is it a nightmare? ”

"What a terrible nightmare!" I sighed and said, "I hope it never happens!" ”

"Alex, what did you dream about?" Vivien asked me as she changed my clothes.

"Yes, just say it and listen to it, and you won't be scared after you say it." Gartha Ruri also said.

Seeing Garsha Ruri's curious gaze, I couldn't help but smile childishly and replied, "I just dreamed of an elven princess named Gasha Ruri, it's so scary!" ”

"What am I terrible about! Am I your nightmare? Make it clear to me, or I won't spare you! Although Garsha Ruri didn't know if what I said was true or not, her face turned green.

"Yes, you're my nightmare." I saw a dangerous look on Gartha's face, and quickly changed her words, "Okay, okay, let me make it clear...... Actually, it's like this, I dreamed that Ruri was chasing me in the street, holding a bright big knife, and ...... And ......"

"And what?" Garsha Ruri asked with anger in her end, but she was already clenching her pink fist, and the crisis was about to erupt.

"Moreover, Miss Liuli didn't wear any clothes on her, so she ran naked on the street, followed by a group of lustful men." I laughed.

"Master Alex...... People ......" Garsha Ruri's voice became so gentle and gentle, with a charming smile on her pretty face, she softly coquettished me with a sweet voice.

"Oh, what's the matter?" In the face of Gartha's sudden tenderness, my spirit became trance-like.

"You go to die!" Garsha Ruri suddenly said angrily, stretching out her pink leg and kicking me off the bed.

I got up to Vivien's exclamation and smiled wickedly at Gartha-ruel, "Then I'll let you die again!" ”

Then, before Garsha Ruri could react, she quickly pounced on her perfect carcass.

"Don't you think about it...... Yikes! Alex, tap ...... "Garsha Ruri was soon made by my hands trembling slightly, and she was panting again and again.

"Vivien, don't be idle!" and reached out to pull Vivian on the side of the bed down on the bed and "whipped".

So there were "wolf horns" and the delicate and helpless screams and moans of the girls in the spring tent......

After a cloud and rain, I hugged Vivien and Gartha Liuli, who were soft all over, and looked at the gray sky outside the window, suddenly

He asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's getting dark, and it's starting to fall into the night," replied Vivien, with a flattering look on my arm, "and you've been asleep since the afternoon when you've been so sleepy, and you don't think you have any room to spare!" ”

"Hehe, this is the best way for me to regain my energy! Chunxiao is worth a thousand gold at a moment, but Chunxiao is short-lived...... Now is the time to act! ”

I smiled and got up to get dressed, and Vivien and Gartha Glass dressed me and carefully arranged the clothes for their beloved man, and said with a little anxiety, "Alec, you must come back safely!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll be fine!" I comforted the two of them, but the voice behind me turned cold, "If you want to stop the nightmare from happening, you must eliminate the source of the nightmare!" ”

I walked out of the hall accompanied by Vivien and Garza Glass, and Van, Cassta, Rober, Zolaci, and the others had been waiting for a long time.

"Are you all ready?" I asked.

"Everything is ready, just wait for the young master's order, and you can act immediately!" Zolach replied in a standard military style.

I nodded and said, "Thank you all for your efforts!" In particular, the operation of ploughing the pavilion to sweep the cave was quite successful, annihilating the rouge group in one fell swoop and exempting me from my worries. The seed has been sown and grown, and now it's time to harvest! ”

"One thing I've always wondered about is Alex, how did you get to know the secret hideout of the Rouge Killers to carry out the attack? Although I tried my best to spread my eyeliner, I still couldn't find the root of this group of mysterious killers. Van asked. Luo Bai also nodded with deep sympathy.

I smiled slightly and said, "I have never dared to ignore the potential great threat and possible harm caused by this group of yin and yang monsters. I have always been wary of the fact that they were able to grasp my whereabouts with extraordinary precision when it was impossible, and that they had laid a tight killing scheme in the alley in advance. Failure to eliminate these killers would result in a complete failure of my operation. Finally, I figured out the key ...... The specific situation, let Liuli explain, I believe everyone wants to hear the beautiful and moving voice of Princess Liuli. ”

Gartha gave me a blank look and said, "After discussing the actions of the Rouge Regiment with me and Vivien, we finally discovered a problem - when the Rouge Killer fails every time, he will utter curse-like words, and this is the key. ”

"Cursed?" Van asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's a curse," Garsha said, pointing to the head of the mantis, "It's very unreasonable for the killer to say curse words before he dies, and it's the same, which arouses our suspicions. Vivien and I explored Alex with magic and finally discovered the reason for this—it turned out that the killer had possessed Alex with a curse before he died. To be precise, it is a kind of thaumaturgy that is similar to magic but very different, and it is something that was called 'witchcraft' in ancient times. To put it simply, before dying, the killer turns part of his spiritual power into an information source and attaches it to the caster, so that his companions can easily find the whereabouts of the caster through the information source.

"Back in Nagwi, Alek was cursed to be hunted down by the Rouge Killers. However, due to the distance of this tracking method, when Alex left the Reaper's Heart and entered the Delicate Forest and the Lost Forest, the Rouge Killer also lost his whereabouts. Later, Alex traveled in the world with the help of the thunder department's ability to travel thousands of miles in an instant, which also made the rouge group at a loss. Even after Alex re-entered Meinster, they did not have the strength to assassinate him under heavy protection. It wasn't until Alex went deep into the imperial capital that they waited for such an opportunity.

"In the same way, after we studied the principle of the witchcraft, we in turn used the clues of the information source attached to Alex to connect with the spirit of the Rouge Killers to find the place where the Rouge Killers gathered."

After listening to Gasha Liuli's explanation, Van was stunned, and said with a sigh: "It turns out that it is this strange witchcraft! We have always suspected that James leaked Alex's whereabouts! It seems that it has nothing to do with him! It is supposed to be the result of the collusion between Aruton and the Rouge Regiment. ”

I said lightly: "James is ambitious and talented, and his strength is weak, and under the pressure of Aruton, he was forced to attach himself to his second brother and plot against me. But he was unwilling, and he didn't want to pull Arutun's hind legs all the time. I saw through James's heart, and I expected that with his extremely selfish character, he would not be honest with Aruton about my details, and he had a hand left in every place, so he dared to plan tonight's action. ”

"Alex, you're a bit of a gambler! But if it weren't, it wouldn't be Arrich! I'm convinced of you. Van smiled wryly.

I glanced at Kasta, who was wrapped in black and had his face hidden, and was very satisfied with his attire, put my right hand on his shoulder, and said solemnly, "Kasta, you have studied well!" I'll leave it to you tonight! Remember to save your life! ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured! I will definitely live up to my mission! Casta said firmly.

I let out a long breath, solemnized, and gave the order in an extremely serious voice: "Everyone do what you want! Life or death, it's all tonight! Let's go! ”

At nightfall on February 26, 1894 in the Saint-Lun calendar, the imperial capital was Proust.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the lights are shadowing. The sky is not yet dark, the imperial capital is already every household is full of lights, gorgeous lights and the reflection of ice and snow, the night of the imperial capital is reflected as bright as day, and the seven-color decorations hanging in front of each house are to create a festive and lively atmosphere.

The royal family who attended the wedding of Prince Aruton and the Grand Duke of Libinglan entered the inner court one after another through the gate of the Imperial Palace, and a magnificent carriage carrying the silver-robed Archbishop of the Cult of the Gods Banderas also galloped into the palace without hindrance.

When there was only about an hour left for the wedding banquet, a group of about 500 black-clothed men armed with swords and strong arrows on their backs began to break through the west gate of the Imperial Palace, but they were soon subject to the first layer of the Praetorian Guard's defense net. Hundreds of men in black were killed by swords and arrows, and the rest of the men withdrew in panic under the leadership of a tall masked man in black, only to fall into the snare laid by another group of mysterious people.

At the same time, a cavalry force of about 10,000 people was in turmoil between the eastern, southern, and northern gates of the Imperial Palace—agile and swift movements, fierce and courageous offensives, retreating with one blow and moving decisively, so that the Praetorian Guards, who outnumbered them, were exhausted and unable to grasp the movements of this force. In addition, some people set fires in different places, and in an instant, smoke rose everywhere, and the flames reflected in the sky everywhere, so that the soldiers and civilians in the imperial capital could not help but panic.

On the other hand, a large army is also quietly moving.

※※※

The whole imperial palace "Lingtian" hall is wide and magnificent, the lights are bright, the gold is brilliant, and it is very magnificent

The carved railing on the main hall is shining with jade masonry, the dragon pattern ring pillar is towering and towering, the eaves of the flying corridor wear the top roundabout, the pointed vault reaches the sky, the red carpet is splendidly spread on the ground, solemn and solemn, the cicada curtain bead curtain is hung in front of the window sill, the extravagance is pressing, the banquet is full of mistant, the laughter and laughter are endless, plus the royal family members of the brocade clothes and ermine fur and jade belt are bustling, gather together, the court ladies of grace and grace are shuttling in the meantime, the bright eyes and bright teeth, the clothes are light and the shadow of the mane, creating a very luxurious, lively and festive, magnificent court ukiyo-e.

More than a dozen sons and daughters of Nanzhan Buqi II have also been present - the third prince Eden and his wife, the fourth princess Etiria and his wife, the fifth prince Bals, the sixth prince James and his wife, the seventh princess Emily in the boudoir, the eighth prince Leodore, who is addicted to garden architecture and has never been concerned with political affairs, the ninth princess Kaqi, the tenth princess Lana and other princes and princesses, the younger brother of Nanzhan Buqi II, Prince Frank, Prince Hironason and other royal family members, if you add the second prince Aruton who made the final preparations for the wedding, His Majesty Emperor Nanzhan Buqi II, who has not yet appeared, can be said to be a rare family gathering for the descendants of the royal family in several years. It's just that the members of the royal family have their own thoughts and are suspicious of each other, which is not warm at all.

The person in charge of officiating at the wedding was the Imperial Prime Minister Clarkm, an old man over eighty years old, like a dried leather, the peeling skin like tree bark attached to the shriveled flesh and bones, the pointed face was covered with wrinkled textures and old age spots, the cheekbones were high and protruding, and the cloudy and yellowed eyes were more white and less black, but from time to time they shot a chilling cold light, like walking on a deserted street at night, its image was like a ghost, enough to make a child cry at night.

A veteran of the three dynasties, Clacham has been favored by the Emperor since his last two reigns, serving His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire of Richmond IV, Nam Chambuch I, and now Emperor of the Faratis Empire. It is generally believed that if Nanzhan Buqi II dies and Aruton successfully ascends to the throne, he will be expected to become the patriarch of the four dynasties, and the power will be tilted for four generations.

Known as the parasitic tree attached to the court of Faratis, this old man is an evil spirit with an incomparable greed and desire for power, drawing nourishment from the pillar of power of Faradis, and maintaining his decaying life by eroding the healthy body of the empire.

"His Royal Highness Aruton, the Second Prince of the Holy Faratis Empire, and Grand Duke of Ripellan have arrived!"

Clacham's flat and high-pitched voice announced the news of Aruton's arrival, which also meant that the wedding was about to take place and the dinner was about to enter the climax.

As soon as the words fell, Prince Aruton appeared in front of everyone with the Grand Duke of Libinglan.

Aruton was still dressed as a marshal, but with many glittering ornaments, it looked more gorgeous, and the finely handcrafted and well-tailored clothes also fully highlighted his majestic figure and awe-inspiring domineering.

And the Grand Duke of Li Binglan walked into the "Ling Tian" hall with the support of the two maids - it is not difficult for a discerning person to find that the actions of the two maids supporting him are not without the meaning of escort, and Li Binglan is coerced by far more elements than voluntary.

But Li Binglan, who is dressed in a moonlight wedding dress, has an otherworldly beauty, which looks noble and elegant, mature and beautiful, graceful and moving, and glamorous, but on the face that is more perfect than an angel under the long red hair, there is no trace of smile and half joy, but there is a sad and decisive taste, which forms a strong contrast with the cold and hot Aruton who is full of excitement and spirit.

And the pair of cold ice blue eyes, the heroic nose, the calm but resolute expression, and the resolute lips tightly pursed into a line fully show the strong and tenacious personality of Li Binglan, and the perfect combination of rigidity and softness, creating the peerless beauty and unique charm of Li Binglan, so that any woman who regards herself as a beauty can not help but be ashamed in front of her.

Emily, the seventh princess, who was staring at Li Binglan's beautiful figure, was a little dazed, a little jealous, and said with a little emotion: "What a beautiful woman! No wonder he's going out of his way for her, she's worth it......"

James, who heard Emily's words, also sighed and said: "The second brother is really a lucky man......" There was a sour tone in his tone.

Emily turned her head to face her fourth brother and whispered sarcastically disapplauded, "The second brother is not worthy of her...... I didn't expect the toad to eat swan meat......"

"I'd rather be a toad like that......" James smiled wryly, showing a rare sense of humor.

Emily paid no attention to her fourth brother, and as if she remembered something, she turned back and said to herself: "Such a woman is worthy only of a man like him, and only such a woman is worthy of him...... Chic and uninhibited, sharp and wild, like the wind, the man ......"

The two did not continue the unfinished topic, both sides had their own hearts, and lost the hope of talking.

Then Prime Minister Cracum announced the arrival of the Holy Driver of Nam Cham Buqi II, which caused quite a stir in the banquet hall.

※※※

Because since the beginning of winter, His Majesty the Emperor has rarely appeared in front of people, and has always claimed that he is not in good health, and he did not even attend the court meeting, and the state affairs were handed over to Clarkm, and the will was also passed down by Aruton and Clarkem, and everyone knows that the reason for this is not just that the Emperor is unwell.

And at this most sensitive time, Nanzhan Buqi II finally appeared.

Hearing this news, even Ettiria and James couldn't help but change color.

They quite understand the meaning of their father's appearance at the wedding banquet - they don't show up for many months, and once they do, they will participate in the wedding of their second brother, and it is not difficult to understand what the emperor's mind is. Therefore, Ettiria and James, who are well aware of the stakes, cannot change their colors.

Nam Cham Buqi II was carried into the main hall by his attendants half-lying on a mink cushion.

Nanzhan Buqi II had a haggard face, no trace of blood could be seen on his pale face, his lips were also an unhealthy gray-purple, his complexion was even more gray than a few months ago, and his eyes had become cloudy and unclear, and he had completely lost his lustre.

Seeing His Majesty's angry appearance, everyone firmly believed that their Emperor Majesty would probably not survive this winter under the torture of illness. It's time to decide who will be the heir to the throne as soon as possible - who will be the final candidate among the dozen or so heirs of the emperor has not yet been revealed, but it is already being announced.

When the emperor appeared on the main hall, the entire noisy hall suddenly became silent. Even if this old man sitting on the throne is now only a dying and dying patient, the emperor who has always been at the peak of the empire's power is still there, and his majesty is still there, and there is no room for the slightest blasphemy.

At the emperor's side was another person, who was dressed in a black gold-rimmed magic robe, about sixty years old, with a white beard, a cold and solemn appearance, and a short stature, but with a compelling momentum and a certain mysterious temperament. The six gold-rimmed twill lines on the collar represent his status as a magical duke, which is the highest courtesy given to magicians by the royal family, half a level higher than the noble status of the same title, close to the status of a prince.

He is the chief royal magician of the court of the Falatis, the archmage Pochettino. Pochettino is one of the last three remaining archmages of the empire, the chief professor and vice-principal of the Academy of Magic and Magic. When Yuga was under his command, he used a forbidden spell in the Northern War, "Silent Space", and instantly turned the stone city "Bagluonda" established by the barbarians into ruins, causing a sensation on the whole continent.

"Baglonda" means "never fall" in the barbarian language, and it is leaned on by the barbarians as an impregnable wall, which shows how strong it is, but it "falls forever" in the face of Pochettino's powerful magic. Therefore, the Continental Magic Guild unanimously approved and awarded Pochettino the title of "Grand Magister".

Aruton brought Libinglan to Nanzhan Buqi II, ready to receive his father's blessing.

The Emperor sat up with difficulty, raised his trembling right hand, and gently brushed the foreheads of Aruton and Li Binglan, but when his gaze swept over his son's smug face, it became extremely cold and poisonous for a moment, and when he focused on Li Binglan's face, it became full of guilt and guilt, and with peace and love.

"Son, as you wish...... Binglan, I ......" Nanzhan Buqi II said weakly, his voice staccato as a result.

Li Binglan's delicate body shook slightly, she already understood what the emperor had not finished speaking, it was the three words "sorry", which contained the deepest guilt of Nanzhan Buqi II towards herself.

"Now we have to ask His Excellency Banderas, Archbishop of the Church of the Gods, to officiate at the wedding of the newlyweds and hold a ceremony for the approval of the gods." The Prime Minister, Duke Clarchem, announced the wedding ceremony.

The princes and nobles at the banquet took the initiative to open an aisle from the center of the hall to the gate, and the silver-robed archbishop of the Cult of the Gods, Banderas, surrounded by sixteen black-clothed bishops, solemnly walked through the crowd and walked straight to the center of the main hall, stepped lightly on the red carpet embroidered by the two-winged tiger, and calmly climbed the prismatic platform in front of the throne of Nanzhan Buqi II.

When Banderas turned to face the crowd, sixteen black-clad bishops were standing behind him in the shape of a crescent, holding candles and reciting inscriptions, and their faces were solemn and solemn, making people feel devout and worship.

The Second Prince of Aruton brought the Grand Duke of Lybinglan to Banderas in a near-coercive manner.

Archbishop Banderas opened the Cult of the Gods' canon, the Book of Coranvar, and said to the two in a calm and solemn tone: "In the name of the servant of the gods, I witness the wedding approved by the gods. You must promise each other all your life with a pious and pure heart in the presence of the voice of the gods, the Book of Koranhua. ”

Banderas then turned his gaze to the two of them and said to Aruton, "Aruton, son of the gods. Faradis, would you like to marry Lybinglan? And swore in front of Kelanhua's writing, no matter whether rich or poor, honor or disgrace, life and death, he will never give up, share weal and woe, life and death, and always be together? ”

"I do!" Aruton replied.

Banderas nodded, turned to Libinglan and said, "Libinglan, the Believer of the Gods, are you also willing to marry Aruton. Ferratis? And swear in front of the 'Book of Kelanhua', no matter whether you are rich or poor, honor or disgrace, life and death, you will never give up, share weal and woe, life and death, and be united forever? ”

Li Binglan opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn't make a sound, and her delicate face had an anxious and sad look, and she couldn't express her meaning.

Aruton grabbed Li Binglan's hand and said anxiously, "She is willing!" ”

saw that Li Binglan's pupils suddenly flashed with a hint of surprise that was not easy to detect.

But the venerable Archbishop of Banderas spoke at this time

"I disagree!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and everyone waited for the development of the situation with puzzled and surprised expressions.

Even Arudon unconsciously had an incredible look on his face, and Banderas's extremely strange words made Aruton immediately stunned and lost his assertion.

And Li Binglan laughed at this time! The incomparably bright smile broke through the frost, and bloomed on the hall with a fragrant fragrance, like countless quiet and beautiful orchids blooming in clusters, and Aruton couldn't help but turn from a fool to a fool.
