Chapter 8: Undercurrents
Seeing that Ades didn't dwell on her previous slightly crazy idea, Severia leaned against the wall in a very comfortable position. The photophobic grass beside her was suddenly pressed out with a yellow light. Sevilia, who was leaning on the photophobia grass, seemed to be penetrated by the yellow light, and it was extraordinarily transparent and bright.
It's such a beautiful creature, but it has such a huge power to hide, Yades sighed in his heart.
"Is there any other way you can distract the nobles of Brutus?" Severia interrupted Ades' thoughts.
Yades said with a slight smugness, "I'm not trying to divert their attention. ”
Seeing Severia's puzzled expression on the side, Yades continued, "I'm going to focus everyone's attention on me. ”
。。。。。。
On the south side of the Valley Square, that is, in the southern part of the city of Astan, there are taverns and inns everywhere, and the depths of the lights are full of gold caves or heroes' mounds.
The magnificent scenery of the Great Rift Valley of Mount Mohe and the Black River Alima spread all over the east and west of the mainland, and the beauty of the river valley, which is known for its soft and sticky people, is even more beautiful, making pilgrims on the north and south sides of the river valley flock to it.
There may be many people who don't know what the name of the current Grand Duke of Astan is, but there are few people in the entire Northland who don't know about the Venus Palace, which is the place where many restless kingdom adult men yearn for, and where many mothers tell their children.
In the early hours of the night, the Venus Palace was brightly lit as usual, different from the warblers and swallows at the gate of other gentle towns, in front of the exquisite stone arches of the Venus Palace, which glowed with ivory white, stood two rows of tall female knights with gold helmets and silver swords fully armed, but they were extraordinarily gorgeous. Few people know if they are real knights, simple knights, or both.
If such an existence wants to gain a foothold in the city of Astan and become famous throughout the Northland and even the four realms of the kingdom, it will naturally not be easy behind it. Some people say that the Venus Palace is simply the property of the Grand Duke of Astan, and it is only limited to the face of the nobles, so no one knows about it. Some people say that this is actually the king's intelligence center in the Northlands, which is used to monitor the prosperous Astan family.
Today, the Venus Palace welcomes her true owner.
Of course, neither the Grand Duke of Astan nor His Majesty the King knew he was coming.
The Kingdom Patriarch of the Shadow Church, second only to the Pope's Death Singer, one of the highest-ranking councillors of the League of Assassins, the ominous blade in his hand was once soaked in the blood of countless famous continental tycoons, but few people knew that the blood of the previous emperor of Erkad was once shed on this dagger.
He is also Severia's stepfather, the leader of the kingdom's rebels, Gabioni Ribo.
At this time, Gabioni, who was sitting on a huge pure white stone chair, was in a richly decorated dark green hall, and the teleportation circle behind the stone chair shone with psychedelic magical brilliance, reflecting the entire hall extremely strangely. Buried deep underground, this is the most hidden place of the Venus Palace.
Not far from the stone chair, under the steps, with their backs to Gabioni, stood two figures.
One was wearing a hood and a black robe, and his facial features were completely hidden in a black mist, and only two dark green bright spots could be seen, and in the darkness, as the body rose and fell, two green bright lights were drawn. If it weren't for the graceful figure outlined by a slender black robe, it would be difficult to tell whether she was a man or a woman.
The other is an extremely behaving purple short fight ninja suit, and the exposed part of his body is strangled by a huge black grid, as if he is about to ooze water, and his appearance is extremely charming.
Not far in front of the two, three shadow believers dressed in black robes knelt on the ground.
"Raise your head," the voice was as greasy as white sugar wrapped in dozens of layers of honey, and the foxy woman looked at the three people on the ground, "Start your report, tonight, the time under the crown is extremely precious. ”
After saying that, the foxy woman glanced back at Gabioni, who was high above, and the other party grinned.
"Your Majesty, the plan went very well. A black-robed man raised his head and said, revealing a slightly old face, "But there was a little episode in between. ”
The old man said and glanced at the fox woman, he didn't dare to look at it more, he didn't want to see the blade of the cone thorn Alicia.
"Go on. ”
Hearing the voice of Midnight Frost, dressed in black robes, without a trace of warmth, the old man hurriedly said: "Grand Duke Astan personally led people to search the area of the river valley where the incident occurred, but did not find the bodies of Ades and Severia. ”
"Is the news reliable?" asked Alicia, ignoring the old man who was still kneeling in front of her, looking at Midnight Frost.
"That's true. ”
"In other words, there is still a possibility that these two people are alive?"
"Dead. The voice was low and cold, and Gabioni, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.
He flipped over the hands that gripped the sides of the stone chair, and a pair of roaring spirits emerged from their palms.
Gabioni waved his palms slightly, and the two souls entwined, and each burrowed into the other two Night Cultists who were still kneeling on the ground.
The old man was dumbfounded as he looked at everything strange in front of him.
Alicia walked to the old man's side, and the old man couldn't help but sniff the sweet fragrance emanating from Alicia's body. Alicia's right hand lightly pressed on the old man's somewhat bowed head, and her slender index finger flicked a few times, and finally, she glanced at the old man who was a little overwhelmed.
With a "poof", the thing in Alicia's right palm was instantly pinched and exploded, without a trace of screaming.
The other two believers, who were originally kneeling on the ground, raised their heads at this time, and they didn't even glance at the headless corpse that had just been poofed to the end.
"We stormed the bridge of Sina as planned, and then escaped from the siege of the guards. It was a woman who spoke, and if Yades had been here, the voice would have been unusually familiar.
"For this reason, Lord Dedar has lost his position as the Warden of the Holy Bridge, which we did not expect. This time it was a man who spoke, and if Severia had been here, the voice would have felt unusually familiar.
"No, that's good news. Gabioni looked at the two of them, who knelt down on the ground and looked at him with puzzled eyes, while their faces were constantly distorted, and continued, "Gavin can't help himself, the purge of the Northland will begin soon. ”
"Would the old thing let Gavin do that?" asked Midnight Frost.
"Grand Duke Estan thinks he can restrain Gavin," Alicia snorted, her voice rippled, "how did he know about Gavin Astan's ambitions?" ”
She had personally experienced the power of the first person in the Northland.
"He wants to be Gavin Reinhardt?"
Gabioni looked at Midnight Frost and said with a mocking smile on his face, "Maybe there will be a Nepos in the back." ”
Reinhardt was the surname of King Brutus, and Nepos was naturally the surname of Emperor Ecardena.
They hold the bonds between the nobility of the kingdom and the nobility of the empire.
