Chapter 66: Proverbs
The man in black flicked the cloak behind his back, and came to the 'female' king and said, "That Duke Albert has a magical power in his body, which is not easily obtained by ordinary people.
When the conservative leader heard this, he straightened his back and responded, "What do you mean?"
"Vampires."
"Vampires."
"It's what happened to the Duke on your so-called Oak Festival." The man in black seemed to have the eye of God, and he had seen almost everything.
"The accident was truly horrific, and the search party was even ambushed by a mad werewolf halfway through, and the damage was devastating."
"Duke Albert must have been manipulated by the vampires in these hours, otherwise how could he have withstood my repeated projection '' control with his unqualified body?" The man in black did not shy away from it, and he 'exposed' his old bottom very frankly.
Now.' The female king was really a little moved: "Do you have to be so disgusting?"
"You would have no hope of seeing him without my help, he would have been caught up and captured by Kentan in the wilderness, and he would have lived a humiliating life as a prisoner, or he might have been slowly 'manipulated' by vampires until he died in a pit that no one knows.
"But why do you still have to torture it so much."' The Woman's King is still haunted by the scene when Albert is forced to transform into a werewolf and break into the welcome dinner.
The man in black first tried his best to restrain his anger, and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "If he doesn't have the werewolf blood I gave him, then he will eventually transform into a monster who doesn't recognize his six relatives and drinks blood.
Cardinal Benedict listened very carefully because of the fact that Albert's life and future were at stake, and after a long time he could not help but interject from the side, "So, you brought the Duke back from the wilderness south of the kingdom of Destiny."
"If it weren't for me, why do you think this young man would have come to Danse Forest for no reason?" The man in black asked rhetorically.
"But I've heard a different version, that Duke Borot was able to escape mainly with the help of a ranger friend, and that he was able to teleport to the city of Garryville by the power of nature, and thus escaped the catastrophe in the wilderness."
"Ignorant fools." The man in black roared and cursed. If Kentan can easily break through the city of Birti, then why should they let Duke Borot and the others go? They can use it as a bargaining chip to threaten the emperor. With the status of the Duchy of Borot, if the emperor does not agree, he will be betrayed and leaved, and if he is forced to bow his head, the situation will not be much better. These guys who are enslaved by the powerful, I can weigh them with my little finger."
"But the Duke himself said that they were able to get out, all thanks to the deliberate opening of the South Gate by the Kentan side...... "Benedict's suspicions were not resolved.
Valentine was on the sidelines and his mind was more active, so he quickly organized a sharp speech: " Kentan was the first force to dare to openly raise the banner against Emperor Diviot. For them, the advantage of taking the lead must be firmly established and consolidated. The Duchy of Borot has no great enmity with it. It is entirely for the interests of the empire or the will of the emperor that it will travel thousands of miles to stop it. Compared with the entire Tamborance Empire, it is not very practical to capture a Duke of Borot. The cowards lurking in the shadows will not respond to the call of the Kentan Kingdom to raise the banner of righteousness because of this move.Their thinking will not be so broad.Their vision is also very short-sighted.The gains and losses of one city and one place are the real key.Capturing the city of Birti itself is much more useful than catching a painless newly enthroned duke.You two overestimate those lords, The intelligence of the nobles is greater, and that will only be clever and mistaken by cleverness. In my opinion, it is more beneficial for Kentan to let go of Duke Borot than to capture him, because only in this way can those who are greedy for life and fear of death be able to join the rebel army of Kentan. As for the argument that after seizing the duke, you can get more political benefits and initiative, of course I will agree with a hundred of them, but in fact it is not suitable for those dukes and earls who have wine bags and rice bags on the Bodi continent. The only thing Kentan should do is to occupy more citiesIf you persist, you may be able to really shake the foundation of the current emperor."
The man in black thinks very highly of himself, and he never thought that there is anyone in the world who can be more wise than him. He smiled bitterly and said to the 'female' king: "You should really find this guy to be your lover.
"Let's get back to business."' The spirit and female king are reluctant to go deeper into this conversation." How can we know the real mastermind behind this shapeshifter?"
"I only know two ways." The man in black spoke briskly, like a few drops of rain suddenly falling in the dreary summer air.
"Speak."
"Either go deep underground and dig up a Mind Flayer, or travel to the northern tundra to catch a few black-robed mages who can read minds."
"Are you kidding?Mind Flayer has always represented the deepest evil and horror.Although they are not as large as the ancient dragons, they are gradually becoming the ultimate nightmare of this world because they can slowly eat away at the brains of intelligent creatures.But the god of the forest is merciful and omnipresent.He makes these demons unable to see the light of day.They can only live in eternal darkness.They are never used by people.Because no sentient creature can stand alone in front of them.Once they control you, you are no longer yourself.As for the northern tundra.That is a place where even the human emperor is not interestedOf course, we don't have to touch the spirits, so neither of these options will work."' The Woman's King unceremoniously rejects the whimsical suggestion of the man in black.
Both Benedict and Valentine were amazed that the man in black was able to mention the Mind Flayer, a creature on the Bodie Continent, at least in the Human Empire, the word Mind Flayer had long since become synonymous with absurdity. Even the author of a third-rate horror story would no longer be bothered to use such a lame fantasy.
This is a very suspicious and 'confusing' thing, but the two cardinals have tacitly buried this dead knot deep in their hearts for the sake of the big picture at hand.
The man in black slowly circled around the shapeshifter's cage, and suddenly made another suggestion, "You can bring the duke, I'm sure he'll surprise everyone."
"What.Albert.He."' The Lady King and Old Benedict exclaimed in unison.
"That kid has several divine powers mixed in his body, and I'm pretty sure I can make him work miracles." The man in black looked a little 'lustful', as if Albert was his apprentice.
There's nothing to lose by trying it anyway.' The king immediately ordered the duke to be summoned to the interrogation room.
Little Ah was supported by the military master Tarren Crawford.Trying to cheer up the 'spirit' but involuntarily standing in front of the cage.His mind basically returned to normal.But his body was still a little weak.Sometimes he even felt dizzy.
In order not to 'provoke' the man in black, the 'female' king had to try to restrain her boiling emotions, because it was not the first time she had made compromises and sacrifices in front of the big events related to the Danse Forest.
The man in black didn't explain more, and he didn't give Xiao Ah enough time to think, he just stepped forward and tried to beat the young man's head with a rhythmic feeling.
Everyone waited for a miracle to happen, and it seemed like it was just coming.
Albert suddenly spoke in a strange tone: "These mortals and the weak must accept the rule of our generation, the great mistake made eons ago, and now they must be repaid. Come, accept the embrace of darkness, give up the false and useless light, the eyes are the worst enemy, the light is the accomplice of shame, and the wise mind, but it is just the 'flower' in the moon mirror in the water. The mortal world does not deserve wisdom, and the mortal world cannot have wisdom, look at you ordinary things, what have you done for thousands of years, and the fight and killing, and it never stops, and everyone thinks that they are the king of kings, and everyone thinks that they command the world, and they are just pathetic ants, and the priority of our generation now is to turn the clock back to the original point, everything is nothing, and there is something out of nothing."
The young duke finally finished this long series of crazy, stupid, and terrible words, and then sat down on the ground with a soft and boneless heart.
"What the hell is going on?" Everyone was not sure of their direction.
Valentine and Benedict were stunned, because this passage was a prophetic proverb secretly handed down in the Confessions, and only eight of his disciples and the Pope of the past were able to pass it on by word of mouth.
The man in black laughed maniacally and shouted, "Look, that's what the master behind the shapeshifters is going to say, and we're all just ants and pawns."
'Want' to know what's going on, and listen to the next time.
