"She's gone?"

It wasn't until the figure of the elf disappeared at the end of the road that Charlotte slowly appeared behind Loren.

The smiling Loren turned his head with a pretended surprise expression: "When did you come?"

"Do you really not know, or do you knowingly ask?"

With a light snort, the countess of the Red Blood Castle lowered her face: "My lord, the lord of the dignified Lothair is actually regarded by you as some worthless little person, and you blatantly drive people away, if this kind of thing spreads, do you know how much trouble it will cause?"

"Is he that important?"

"Of course he's not important, but you shouldn't show it either!" Charlotte's eyes widened, and Charlotte said angrily: "This kind of worthless little person's emotions need to be taken care of the most, in case he is allowed to talk nonsense, it will make Byrne's reputation very troubled." ”

"Uh... You just said I shouldn't treat him as a trivial person......"

"I mean, you can't do that in public, you need to care too much in private, and the duke, who is not even the family of Eagle Hunting Castle, can be seen at a glance that he is an incompetent person who can't even control his vassals, and he is a small person, don't change the topic!" Charlotte said angrily:

"Next time you encounter a similar problem, please don't be so mean, polite things should be said, don't be so obvious about people's likes and dislikes, even if you just want to deal with it, please be more serious, people are not fools... At least not that stupid!"

"Finally... It is also the most important thing, please let me know in advance if there is such an important matter, and don't let me be the last one to know every time. After a slight pause, Charlotte said with a slight dissatisfaction.

"What's important?" Loren continued to play dumb with his head tilted behind his back.

"All the things!" Charlotte's face was gloomy and she said coldly:

"Every encounter, every decision, every process, every thought, every detail...... In short, everything is related to you, and I can not interfere in the matters involving you, but I must know, and everything must be told to me in the original way!"

"But you're not talking about important things......

"If I don't know everything, how do I know what's important or what's not... Especially for you, the big liar. The countess sighed, as if she was helplessly compromised:

"Of course, I'm not that unreasonable, so let's... There is anything I can not do first-knowing, but it must be the second. ”

"The second?"

"Ain, she can be before me... If, if it is really necessary. Charlotte's eyes flickered, and she quickly became serious: "But no one else, not even Dalton or Luceen... Even if it's Isaac, it's not allowed to be before me!"

"This is me as your... I'm not talking to you about the final bottom line of my loved ones, understand, Loren?"

While speaking, Charlotte looked around vigilantly, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no movement, she slowly stepped forward, approached the position where the two of them could almost touch the tip of each other's noses, and whispered:

"About the 'Black Cross' Serol... When are you going to speak?"

........................

"Can't we wait until the end of the matter in front of us?"

In the tent, Edward, the night watchman, looked at Peter and Vera who were clustered up, and was quite helpless: "He just won the battle of the Azorean elves and was crowned emperor, so when he is most complacent, he must immediately block him, for fear that Brandon has no reason to kill you?"

"But it's too late!" Vera jumped anxiously: "The Azorean elves are just a trap for Seriel, a pawn he uses to attract the attention and power of the Empire!"

"What?"

Rao is Edward also has a little bit of understanding of the "Black Cross", and when he hears this, he can't help but feel a little surprised: "Are you sure?"

"It was originally just a guess, but now it looks like it's probably true. Peter, who pursed the corners of his mouth, turned pale and looked solemn:

"Edward, what do you know about Lord Dalton Kander?"

"The Mentor of Loren Turin, the best friend and sworn enemy of Lord Rut Infinit, one of the founders of the Witcher, and a ruthless ex-night watchman... What's wrong?"

"He told me something very important. Peter took a deep breath:

"In their... In other words, in every previous confrontation between Loren Turin and Seliol, it basically followed a law related to the Holy Grail of the Nine-Pointed Star, and where the power of the Void erupted on a large scale, Seliol would definitely appear there. ”

"It's the same with the battle of Ebolden this time, they carefully designed a game, and drained all the void remnants of Ebotden for this purpose, but Serol did not appear, he allowed the Azorean elves to be completely killed, and his chess pieces were destroyed... Why?"

Peter, who asked rhetorically, looked at Edward, the night watchman, along with Vera.

"Because the Azorean elves... It's already useless for him?"

The leader of the Night's Watch was thoughtful.

"There's only one possibility. Peter bowed slightly.

The three were silent for a moment.

"It can't be now... At least not immediately. Edward said silently, his expression a little embarrassed:

"Listen, I understand your mood that you are not afraid of death, but Brandon is the kind of person who is extremely prone to rebellion, and now he is talking to him about this kind of thing, believe it or not, it is secondary, but if he is wrong, it will be trouble!"

"What's the matter, just let the person he trusts the most discuss with him?" Vera was very puzzled: "I remember that he has a very good relationship with Loren Turin, let Loren talk about it, Brandon will definitely ......"

"Never!" Edward, whose expression changed suddenly, immediately stealed:

"The last thing to mention now is Loren Turin!"

"Why?!"

Vera was stunned.

"Because Byrne and Loren Turin's performance in this war is too eye-catching. Peter Fasa understood what Edward meant:

"The mission to the Misty Moon Court, the Battle of the Valley of Blood, the Battle of the Imperial Capital, and finally the final Ebolden... Loren Turin and Byrne's momentum has become so strong that even the Heavenly Dome Palace is almost unable to compete. ”

Brandon's previous declaration was his final compromise with Loren Turin and a warning that he would choose to make concessions in exchange for Loren Turin not to be so strong again. Peter Fasa whispered:

"For now, with the previous friendship between the two, the relationship between the two can be maintained a little, and if Loren comes forward again at this time, and forces Brandon to deal with something he barely understands......"

"With Your Majesty's character, it is not surprising to kill people on the spot. Edward sighed helplessly: "That's why Loren Turin has been very low-key during this time, and he didn't even attend tonight's banquet, Brandon has been suppressed for a long time, and he has endured it for too long, he needs to temporarily enjoy the feeling of being complacent and being the center of attention." ”

"Loren knows Brandon very well, better than I do, so he will never come forward now, let alone tell Brandon about it. Edward looked at Vera and Peter:

But that doesn't mean he's going to ignore it... If I'm not mistaken, Byrne's witchers should be on the move by now. ”

"So fast?!" Vera's eyes widened in shock.

"Otherwise, why do you think Dalton Candle would tell Peter Fasa about this?" Edward asked rhetorically, "This is a wizard who is just one step away from becoming the leader of the Night's Watch... Even if it's not as good as it used to be, it's not something we can underestimate, it's a sinister, vicious, ruthless guy. ”

Edward had already vaguely guessed what Dalton Candle was going to do.

He deliberately revealed the news, just so that the three of them went to report this matter to Brandon, whether His Majesty believed it or not, his purpose could be achieved, and it was just that everything was logical and orderly; When things come out, Byrne, who has been prepared for a long time, is the only one who can save the situation.

At that time, no matter what Brandon wants to do, he has to follow the plan designed by him Dalton to minimize the accident and the interference of external factors, so that his plan can be implemented smoothly... Edward knew this too well, because Rut Infinit was also the same routine.

Forcing others to accept their ideas and decisions, these two rivals are not surprisingly identical.

As for the three of them... In Daltonkand's eyes, he is probably no different from Root Infinit, just a pawn to achieve his goal, and it doesn't matter if he is dead or alive.

No, it is even possible that even the death of the three of himself is in his plan, although Brandon always does things without scruples, but if he makes a mistake, he will still have some scruples, at least it will attract his attention.

Peter Fasha is Loren's friend, and Vera once traveled to the Azorean elven kingdom with the Knights of Oath, and he was his only cronie... If the three of them died in his hands because of this incident, it would make Brandon more or less vigilant and suspicious.

At that point, Dalton Candle will be able to take advantage of Brandon's "remorse" and carry out his plan without worrying that Brandon will interfere.

So... Absolutely not to act on his ideas, absolutely not!

No matter how good the plan is, it's not worth the lives of the three of you!

"I have a question. ”

Peter Fasa still doesn't believe that Dalton or Loren's mentor will pit him: "At the moment, the witchers have suffered heavy casualties, and the leader of the witches, Lusen, is also seriously injured in bed. ”

"How can he act in such a situation?"

........................

"Is that okay?"

"Absolutely!"

Facing Dalton's obviously suspicious gaze, Lu Sien was a little dissatisfied: "As long as it's for Lord Loren's business, it's okay at any time!"

"Not an important task. Dalton said in a deep voice, "The Sword of Oath is on its way to the Imperial Capital, but he may not be reliable alone, so he needs someone to follow him and gather information." ”

"The task itself is not difficult, the key is that the executor must be loyal, reliable, thoughtful, and able to find details that ordinary people can't see, so if you are physically handicap, it is ...... to hand it over to Carl Collin."

"I'm in good health!"

Lu Sien stood up suddenly, his silver-gray eyes widened, "Leave it to me!"

Silent......

Dalton, who didn't answer immediately, instead began to look at Lusen's body, and only spoke after a while: "How long is it?"

"Huh?"

"Mark of the Evil God. Dalton said coldly: "How long is there... You're going to be devoured by it?"

"I ......"

The gray-eyed boy with twitching cheeks wanted to lie or quibble, but the moment he saw Dalton's eyes, he stopped talking and simply kept silent.

Dalton was not annoyed: "Half a year?"

Lusin shook his head.

"Five months?"

Russen was silent.

"Four months?"

"Three months. The gray-eyed boy interrupted sullenly, "I asked... He, in three months at most, my body will be completely transformed, and I will be in a state similar to that of the apostle of the evil god. ”

"What will happen then, even 'him' doesn't know that maybe I'll turn into a monster, into a shell of an evil god, or maybe my temperament will change dramatically and become a beast-like thing. ”

"Either way, I won't be able to play for Lord Loren for the time being, let alone stay with him... I... I'm going to go to the Arctic Ice Field, and I'm going to stay there until I'm back to normal. ”

"So this time, maybe the last time. ”

Staring at the gray-eyed young man with a resolute expression, Daltonkand, who had been silent for a long time, bowed slightly: "I understand, since this is the case, then this time ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a thunderclap interrupted him.

"Boom !!!"

At the same time, the soldiers, officers, nobles, and wizards who were still celebrating, feasting, and celebrating in the camp also put down what they were doing in a panic and looked up in the direction of the thunder.

In the dark night, a huge, gray-blue vortex appeared in the star-covered dome.

Even in the dim midnight, the vortex was still incomparably clear and piercing, like a black hole that suddenly appeared, swallowing up the entire southern starry sky.

It swirled, gray-blue ripples slowly swirling, purple lightning falling from the vortex from time to time, and then bursting thunder a moment later.

It appeared in the night sky without warning, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of everyone.

Is that... It's like the end of the world.

Everyone was stunned, as if they were stupid, and they forgot that the barracks, which had been overwhelmed by the sea of laughter and laughter, instantly became dead and silent like a grave.

And the real horror is much more than that.

At the same time as the whirlpool appeared, almost everyone in the barracks felt an inexplicable "cold wind" blowing towards them, but what they felt was not the biting cold, but fear, disgusting, disgusting nausea.

Only the wizards knew that this was the effect of the erosion of the power of the Void, a power so great that even ordinary people could feel it.

"Lord Dalton, I ......"

After being stunned for a long time, Lusen, who finally spoke, was stopped by Dalton raising his hand before he could finish speaking.

"Mission canceled, Lusen, you don't have to go. Daltoncandle stared at the vortex and said coldly:

"He's already here. ”
