Chapter 20: They Are Alive
At this time, Goth did not know that Lévi had lent the "Eternal Blood" necromantic bullet and killed many portal guards silently and easily. Apparently...... Levi's method of injecting "Necromantic Aura" into a human body is not the only way to inject Necromantic Bullets.
Buried in the heart, if there is an accident, it will cross the boundary between life and death, and turn into the undead eyeliner at your own disposal.
Unlike low-level necromancers who win by numbers, high-level necromancers can complete their own layouts quietly and quietly.
Gothic and the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" saw it very clearly. The "corpse" in the hands of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" had his eyes wide open, and he had already seen everything.
It's not just this one.
Half of the Watchers who remained in the Vault had this "nail of death" implanted in Lévy's heart. As long as the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" did anything to any of them, Lévy would immediately know about it, even if he was thousands of miles away.
"Titicaca......"
The corpse burst into laughter.
"Don't play tricks," said Goth, "we know it's you, Levy. ”
"'The Emperor of the Night'...... My dear brother, I can't imagine that you still have such plans," the corpse laughed and said in his voice, "and you, Goth, my fellow disciple I don't remember. ”
"That's enough," interrupted the Emperor of the Eternal Night, "what do you want?" ”
A moment of silence.
"I can guess...... It's fun to set up a game," Levi whispered through the corpse's voice, "and I want a chance to get in, too." How is it? Brother. ”

Following.
After the Snow Falls Gate.
Sunset. Melia, who was under house arrest in a small military tent, was kneeling and meditating.
The Imperial treated her as a captive fairly well. She was not shackled, and there were priests who treated her. The Imperial Army also sent a female paladin affiliated with the Church to guard her.
In the church, there are quite a few of these warriors who can use low-level divine arts. In the aftermath of the Battle of Pure White, many paladins chose to temporarily assist the Empire in the war - Nicholas and the Warlord's plan to raid the White City caused outrage, and His Majesty the Pope, who was supposed to uphold justice, has not been heard from since.
"His Majesty the Pope has been killed by the prison master" is a rumor that is widespread among priests and paladins.
……
Suddenly, the female paladin sitting at the door of the tent stood up.
"It's time." She said.
"I see, Viljara." Melia replied.
Unlike most paladins who prefer to fight with heavy armor and power-type weapons, Viara carries a thin sword pinned to her waist.
She used to be a receptionist for "Briar" and later became an official "Briar". After becoming a paladin, she also retained some of the habits and fighting methods of the past.
Because of this, she became Melia's caretaker. To Viljara's surprise, the Okad woman was not only elegant in her speech, but also so knowledgeable in theology that she almost thought she was talking to her fellow churchmates.
"It's been a great two days." Viara sighed as she escorted Melia to the two armies. In a little while, it will be time for the two sides to exchange prisoners......
"Huh?" Melia suddenly looked up at the sky thoughtfully.
Viara looked up as well.
The sun is getting dimmer.
A few rays of light streaked across the sky like meteors and landed in the barracks on Okad's side.
……
Inside the Great Tent of the Okad Army.
"I have brought you reinforcements, Eternal Blood. I...... And my two brothers. ”
Lévy chuckled. And in front of him, the "eternal blood" frowned.
Lijie was still outside dealing with the prisoner exchange. At this time, the person in charge of the Okard army was the "Eternal Blood" himself.
"Levi......" Wei slowly examined the three uninvited guests in front of him, "'The Emperor of the Eternal Night'...... And ......"
"Hello, Mr. Eternal Blood." The silver-haired Goth said happily.
Stars of the Stars!
I knew that Wei thought boredly that his memory was correct. The "stars of the stars" must have had their own plans to dispel the impression of themselves in the hearts of the world.
Reinforcements?
"Stars of the Stars"?
Even Levi of the Pale Moon and Cliff, the Emperor of the Night, only temporarily helped Okard for personal gain!
John Gort, the "Star of the Stars" who was born in the empire and served for a long time in the French state, could never help Okard. But......
"No one remembers his existence," Wei was wary in his heart, "If you don't know the truth, seeing that the arrogant 'Eternal Night Emperor' and 'Pale Moon' allow this person to be on a par with them, this person naturally can't be a weak person." Just rejecting him alone, but I can't think of a good reason. ”
Wei made up his mind to observe the actions of these people for a few days, and if the situation was not right, he would report to Nicholas immediately. He didn't want to bother Speaker Nicholas, but none of the three people in front of him was weaker than him, if he suddenly turned back......
"I'm not going to go back." Goth said suddenly.
"Eternal Blood" was taken aback. If he hadn't known that no matter how strong Goth's confusion control spell was, it would be impossible to read his own memories as a "soulless one", he would have guessed that Goth had already quietly manipulated his mind.
And...... Now he has more to worry about. Even Lijie didn't know.
Goth smiled mildly, "Ah, don't get me wrong. Confederation, Empire, Jurisprudence...... It's all the same for me. As long as there are 'people' important to me here, I will ...... Won't shoot at the Okads. ”
"Eternal Blood" was stunned.
"Far River!" Outside the tent, Lijie, who had just finished the prisoner exchange, had already strode into the military tent. Melia followed her.
Compared to their own subordinates...... Li Jie still can't trust a mage like the "Emperor of the Eternal Night".
Out of the corner of the eye of Eternal Blood, he glanced at Melia, then turned to Goth. Thinking back to some things in the past, he suddenly understood why Goth was willing to cooperate with him for the time being.
"Then the three of you have been wronged," Wei quickly decided, "Wait in the army for a few days." ”
Lijie wanted to say something, but Wei stretched out her hand, signaling that she didn't need to say more.
Goth furrowed his brow. He looked at Melia for a second, and Melia looked at them as well.
Eternal Blood. Goth's voice rang in Wei's ears.
[Communication? Wei realized that only he could hear the voice. Goth's ability to cast spells in secret is really extraordinary......
[I have important information for you. Goth said.
……
Meanwhile.
The hinterland of the empire.
In a lakeside estate. The owner of the estate is a local earl, who brings his family here every summer to cool off. Now the earl has answered the call and gone north to support the Duke of Snow Falls.
In the manor's villa, the Duke of Hywell and the princesses Bina and Linna got together for the first time since the death of Emperor Dietford III. Victor was there too.
A secret coronation is about to take place here. The kingdom cannot be left without a king for a day, and now Emperor Dietford III and Crown Prince Dimiteo are gone...... It was Bina's turn to inherit the throne and become the Empress of the Empire.
"Ready to get started." Archbishop Anselm, who served as the interim master of ceremonies, took a deep breath.
Suddenly—
An apparition of a purple gnome appeared beside them.
"Friedrich?" Duke Haywell frowned, looking at the prime minister who suddenly appeared in the form of an image, "You should have ...... a long time ago"
"Coronation...... There is no hurry to be crowned," said Chancellor Friedrich, panting, "I ...... I just got the message......"
"What?"
"Dimi ......"
"Dimi?"
"Dimi, and Victoria," the Prime Minister's face was a mixture of shock and excitement, "and they're probably all alive and together in Licenta." ”
