Volume XV: The War of Kings!Chapter 20 Decisions

"Shouldn't Xungui's seat be strived for?" Domor looked at his father, today's battle mage will be completely inferior, although it is not his fault in the end, but he is still a little unwilling.

"Oh, haven't you given up yet?"

Lednoisa looked at his eldest son playfully, he knew that this son's talent was actually not very good, but the reason why he was able to get to this day, and even won the title of "Brilliant Mage", was not because of his own help, but because of his character who refused to admit defeat, which was what he admired the most.

"If I hadn't known about it, I might have given up, but now that I know, I'm going to have to work hard. ”

"Oh, why do you say that?"

Domol sneered and said, "If the Holy See has to hold everything in its hands and grab everything, then who will really contribute to the battle in the near future? They can't just rely on the Holy See's own strength, right?"

"I'm glad you can see that. Lednoisa glanced approvingly at Domol, walked a few steps inside, then returned to the soft chair and sat down, "But if only you could see a little farther." ”

"Father, why do you say that?" said Dormoor, puzzled.

Lednoisa didn't answer, but patted the armrest and asked, "What do you think of Semerhill?"

"Lady Semerhill, Black Widow?" Domor was stunned, he frowned, and said, "Although this woman has been under the maintenance of our Mage Society, her attitude has always wavered, and she has been following Landiston's side this time, and even participated in the Battle of the Temple, hasn't there been any exchange of interests between them?"

Lednoisa smiled and said, "That's just a façade, don't you forget, the minerals and mountain territory she owns are close to the territory of the Mage Society, if she wants to get rid of us completely, then she has to throw these things away, is she likely to throw them away? What is her value after throwing them away? Is she still the same Lady Seyl as before?"

"Father is saying that she may not be on Landiston's side?"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that," Lednoisa waved his hand and said, "Semerhil is a smart woman, and it was the right choice for her to get close to Rantiston now, because the power of the Holy See is indeed stronger than ours, and it would be abnormal if she was on our side." ”

"Then why do you want to let her succeed her?" Domor was even more puzzled, wasn't that an increase in opponents for no reason?

"This is the case now, it does not mean that it will be the same in the future, it is an enemy now, it does not mean that it will be an enemy in the future, if Landiston dies, will she still be on the side of the Holy See?" Lednoisa smiled meaningfully and said: "My son, take a long-term view, don't care about the small gains and losses in front of you, as long as the most critical place is solved, the so-called problems now will not be a problem." ”

Domor suddenly said, "Father, you are right. ”

Lednoisa smiled deeply and said, "So, whatever they do next, it's a trivial matter that doesn't matter, you just have to be a cold spectator." ”

At the next day's meeting, Dormore sat in his seat with a blank face, allowing Angus Gale to propose the name of Semerhill, and he did not object in the slightest.

When it was Luo Lan's turn to the seat left over after he was promoted to vice president, he surprisingly did not speak, and did not say anything until the end of the meeting, which made the nobles in the audience who tried to watch a good show a great pity, thinking that the mage had admitted his defeat and did not dare to compete with Landiston again.

The Black Widow, Lady Semerhill, was well seated as Chief Monk, and it was a joy for her to fulfill her father's last wish to become Chief Monk, Namero, so that the family's glory could continue, and to gain the rights and status she had always dreamed of.

But she suddenly found that her life still did not seem to have changed much, and after getting rid of the tiny shackles, another shackles were put on her body, and they were stronger and bigger than before.

"How would Keisel react if he saw this?"

After this thought suddenly popped up in her mind, Semehir shook her head and tried to throw this person's figure out, no matter what, she was already standing in the power layer closest to the top of the mainland, she was still young, she still had a lot of time, she still had a chance, she might not be able to really get to that point

After Luo Lan was promoted to vice president, he was replaced by an ascetic from the Canyon of Confession.

This was something he had known for a long time, and in order to gain the support of the previous Pope Sidiroe, and to try to unite the forces of the Holy See, Pidoca II made a rare move and agreed that the men of the Valley of Confessions would take the remaining seats of the Friar.

Although he was from the Valley of Confessions, the other party was not an old man, but a young man named Freinard, who was less than thirty years old, and looked a little shy.

It is said that he has been leading the clergy to fight against the swamp tribe in the south, and has won many victories, the trade routes in the south are so smooth, he has made great contributions, although his merits are not as dazzling as Luo Lan, but there is absolutely no problem in succeeding the chief monk.

"Lord Sidiroe has asked me to convey to you that I am only your assistant and will obey your orders. In the seat next to Luo Lan, Firenard leaned over and whispered.

Luo Lan's heart moved, and he immediately understood what the other party meant.

The Monks' Conquest is imminent, he has to mobilize all the forces mobilized, in order to grasp more rights and resources, and win this campaign, the Holy See will naturally send a strong battle force to cooperate with him, this is probably the case with this Firenade.

If this is the case, then both Pyridus II and the previous Pope Sidirodus seem to value this operation more than they thought.

Luo Lan's eyes narrowed, perhaps, he could get more things.

......

"It looks like the Holy See has won a complete victory this time, Brother Calelodes, please go first, I have something to discuss with Brother Mayvis. Friar Frederick said in a deep voice, a faint majesty in his voice.

Calelode nodded, and he immediately followed the instructions and quickly left here, although he was also the chief monk, but he knew very well that he could not compare with the two people standing here in terms of strength and identity, and if it wasn't for Uther's death, this position would not have been his turn to sit at all.

When he had walked down the steps, Frederick looked at the empty corridor, he stood still, turned his head, looked at Mei Weisi behind him with sharp eyes, and said:

"Brother Mayvis, why did you choose Landiston as Vice President? ”

He was surprised when Mavis agreed, but considering that the Knights Alliance could not let the Mage Council or the Holy See see that they had different opinions, and the momentum of the Holy See at that time seemed to be uncontrollable, he was forced to agree to this issue.

"He's the right person. Mei Weisi said lightly.

"Is that all?" Frederick's gaze sharpened.

"Don't you agree, Brother Frederick?" said Maywes, however, carelessly.

"Haha," Frederick laughed suddenly, "and that's just to repay the favor of the Holy See just now, isn't that what we agreed beforehand?" he laughed and walked forward.

"That's what I know. After Frederick had walked some distance, Mavis suddenly said behind her back.

Frederick stopped, turned slowly, and said, "I know I can't hide it from you." After a pause, his fingers tapped twice on the scabbard of the sword, and said, "General Hogg has entrusted me to ask you, is that lord going to make any moves?"

Mei Weisi pursed her lips disdainfully and said, "If he's afraid of anything, let him go up to the Angry Thunder Cliff and ask himself." ”

Frederick sneered and said, "I knew I couldn't ask anything." ”

Mayvis looked at the other party, and she said in the same cold voice: "Brother Frederick, the matter between kings is not something that we mortals can understand, even if we try to know something, we will only draw some specious conclusions, so it is better not to think about it." ”

After Mayvis said this, she didn't look at the other and walked down the stairs alone.

Behind her, Frederick watched her depart with a somber gaze.

......

Seven days later, the Holy See Center.

"Bishop Landiston, welcome back. ”

Piduka II's mood was very high, he did not expect this matter to go so smoothly, and the power of the various forces within the Holy See to burst out was so strong, which he did not expect in advance.

Now he also has a faint understanding in his heart that he doesn't necessarily need to hold everything in his hands, he just needs to let everyone work towards a goal, and he is pushing behind it, which may be better.

"Bishop Landiston, I've met Myron of the Mage Guild and Hogg of the Knight Alliance, and they are also in favor of attacking the Council of the Dead, but they are more demanding, since we have killed many of the Monks in battle this time, then the Council of the Dead must also pay the price. ”

Luo Lan said in a deep voice: "As long as you give me enough strength, and everything needs to be arranged by me, it is not difficult to do this." ”

Piduka II smiled, he waved his hand, and said, "In addition to the chief monks and their subordinates, the Light Sacrifice Group will also send ten more priests and three high-ranking Templars to assist you. ”

Luo Lan nodded, if he is a subordinate, this amount of manpower is indeed enough, you know, Boris is just a high-ranking Templar Knight, even in the center, there are no more than ten people, and he can be assigned three to him at a time, and Pidoca II did not spare the strength in his hands.

It's just that he still wants someone.

"Your Majesty, I still need someone to fight this time. ”

"Who?" said Biduka II generously, "I will give whatever I can." ”

Luo Lan didn't directly say the name of that person, but said: "Since even the Emperor will be killed, it must be the king's powerhouse." ”

"Are you afraid of ......" Pildoca II was stunned for a moment, and then his face gradually became solemn.

Luo Lan said in a deep voice: "If there really is a king and a strong man, then no matter what we do, it will be meaningless. ”

"It is not for nothing that you are considering. He frowned, as if he was thinking about an extremely important matter, and after a while, he asked slowly, "Do you know about the agreement signed between the kings and the powerful back then?"

Luo Lan shook his head.

"Oh, I thought Mistress Siddiro had told you. ”

The scepter in the hand of Pidoca II paused on the ground, "Although I have heard of the agreement back then, the specific details are not very clear, but there has been no movement in the Angry Thunder Cliff so far, which means that this time it is not the king of the Council of the Dead who has made the move, otherwise the Angry Thunder Cliff would not be so peaceful, and that woman is not so easy to speak." ”

Luo Lan's eyes flashed, and he said, "Are you afraid that sending that person will cause the adult on the Angry Thunder Cliff to make some changes?"

"Yes, that's right. Biduka II smiled and said in a mocking tone, "If you can convince the Lord, then I promise you no scruples." ”

......

In the dark and vast underground caverns of the Western Continent, there are more than a dozen god-descended tribes living here, and the only remaining god-descended people in tens of thousands of continents have lived here for generations, guarding the gate to this world from the endless abyss.

Moti walked on the fairly smooth avenue of the dug ground, and the surrounding clansmen looked at him with great respect and made way for him.

Among the Divine Race, only one percent of them really have the opportunity to awaken their talents, and more people just live here like ordinary people, growing old, dying, and even not seeing the sun for the rest of their lives, because people who do not have the talent of awakening will die immediately as long as they leave here.

Mo Di sighed, it was only three years ago, the Celestial God Sect still had a high authority in the Western Continent, but now, due to the invasion of the dark forces, the belief there has long changed, and the Celestial God Sect can only continue to thrive here, and there is no change at all compared to hundreds of years ago.

Thinking that the ancestors had worked hard step by step in order to break the curse, but they had gradually fallen into defeat in his own hands, he couldn't help but feel sad.

In the distance, a short-haired girl walked up with Cedric.

The girl walked closer, looked at Emperor Modi's face, and asked cautiously, "Commander, are they still unwilling to hand over the other Abyss Horn to us?"

Moty shook his head.

The girl muttered, "What do they want? Do they want us to submit to them completely?"

"If it's just like that, that's fine," Modi sneered and said, "Once we get the Abyssal Horn, we can undo the curse on our bodies, and they won't be stupid enough to think that an oath or a magic contract can control us." ”

Suddenly, his face changed, he coughed violently a few times, and a few traces of blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.

The "regiment leader" girl had a worried face, and she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"It's okay, it's just a curse attack," Modi took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said: "It seems that after leaving here for more than a year, the impact has been great, I admire Charlemagne very much, he has been outside for almost two years, and he has not come back once, even if he is not killed, he must have known what the end will be." ”

"Captain, shall we just sit and die?" Cried out to Sidric, causing everyone around him to look at him.

"Don't worry, they won't give it to us, otherwise there would be no need to put so much effort into the first place. Modi said calmly: "I can feel that they don't want to give it to us, but they are waiting for something......"

"Waiting for what?" the girl looked thoughtful.

"But we can't wait, why don't I go and get it back," Cedric jumped.

"If I could, I'd already done it. Modi sighed, he didn't have this plan, and he also inquired about where the remaining corner of the abyss was, but even so, he couldn't go, didn't dare to go, because ......

At this time, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "Who?"

Cedric reacted quickly, with a wave of his hand, a large concentrated air cyclone rushed to a corner, but there was no reaction there, and after a while, a person came out of the dark shadows and said lazily: "In the face of old friends, are you so welcome?"

"Howard, it's you, how did you get in?" Cedric stopped in front of Howard warily.

"I naturally have a way," Howard said with a smile, "I just heard you talking, what if I said, I can solve this problem for you?"

"Can you get the Horn of the Abyss?" Morty pushed Cedric away, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice, "Why?"

Howard shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "I'm a thief, do I need a reason to do such a thing?"

Modi sneered and said, "Don't say those useless words, just make your conditions." ”

"Looks like you're really in a hurry. The smile on Howard's lips became more and more presumptuous, and he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "It's actually very simple, I need that kid." ”

The short-haired girl standing on the side changed her face and said, "What?

"Why not?" Howard looked at the other man strangely, and said, "Holy Son, right? That's what you call him, right?" But no matter what, he's just a child, and it's nothing compared to the reproduction of your whole race, don't you think so? Oh, by the way, what kind of Holy Son, but sadly, he can't break the curse, he still has to die here like you, oh, maybe he can go to the continent without all this, and how much time will he have left to live? A year, or two years?"

Modi said slowly: "You can take him now." ”

Howard was stunned for a moment, then applauded lightly: "Clever." ”

The other party obviously knows that it will be of great use to him to ask for this child, so he will not let this child die now, once he takes this child away, then he must help the mask dough to find the horn of the abyss and lift the curse anyway, otherwise it will be meaningless to do all this.

But it really saves me a lot of trouble.

He smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, even if the thing is in the flesh monarch Gustav, I can help you get it." ”
