Chapter 5 - Business Trips
Half a month after the opening of the Prometheus School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Lothric arrived at the School of Witchcraft with a Darker Elf and a member of the royal family. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Lo Trick's face was very unsightly, Lu Ming couldn't help but ask with some worry after pouring him and the other two a cup of coffee and tea.
After taking the green tea handed over by Lu Ming, Lustric sighed and said, "Something happened to Dak Effa's side." β
Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help frowning and looked at the Darker elf who came with Lothric.
Seeing Lu Ming looking at him, the Darker Elf immediately stood up and said to Lu Ming: "I am the envoy of Darke Alpha, and I originally came to Mira Kaisa to congratulate the Empress of your country on your country's successful defeat of the Alpha Empire, and by the way, I invited various magic schools in your country to hold a magic school exchange meeting on the border between my country and your country. But just as I arrived in your capital, the priests of my country suddenly informed me by divine magic that a curse had suddenly appeared on the land of my country, and this curse was the curse of the undead! β
"What?! It's impossible! After Amani was killed, the summoning of the undead stopped, and the curse of the undead stopped spreading because of the cessation of the summoning!! After hearing the words of the female envoy of the Darker Elf, Lu Ming was very surprised. He had done his research, and after Amani was killed for aiding Evennes in his rebellion, the curse of the undead stopped spreading in the land of Mirakesa. In his opinion, the reason why Yusaha, Miral and others became undead was because of the summoning of the undead by Amani and the magicians before him. No one summons the undead, and no one in Pulu is cursed by the curse of the undead.
Now, the matter on Dark's side of the country has turned his thoughts into pet thoughts, which makes him a little unacceptable. But soon, Lu Ming remembered his summoning on the battlefield......
At this time, the envoy of Dak'efa said: "Lord Earl, just because you don't summon the undead doesn't mean that other races and countries won't summon them!" β
"What do you mean? Could it be that the Dak elves of your Dak Alpha Empire are also summoning the undead? β
The envoy sighed slightly, and then said: "Because our country's internal priests have been interfering in politics, so our country has not been able to develop its economy and diplomacy well for hundreds of years, although the belief in the god Kaia introduced from your side has well suppressed the ambitions of some priests, but it has not completely curbed the current situation of our country, so some magicians in our country have obtained a way to summon the undead from some remnants of Evenness who fled to our country, and thus began to summon the undead, I'm going to use the undead to deal with those ambitious priests. As a result, it did not occur that the curse of the undead began to wreak havoc on the land of our country. Moreover, some of the undead also say that the curse of the undead spreads several times faster on our Dak elves than it does on humans! So we really have no choice but to hope that your country will help us solve this problem. β
"What do you do with us? Besides, wouldn't it be better for you to stop summoning the undead and arrest the undead Dak Elves who have become geists? Frowning, Lu Ming asked angrily.
"The problem is that it's not just our mages who are summoning the undead now, but the priests are also summoning the undead! In addition, there are too many Dack elves who have been cursed by the undead, and even if they only catch them and turn into geists, it is impossible. Because a large part of the army is controlled by the priests, otherwise we would not have summoned the undead. β
"......" Lu Ming looked at Dak Ifa's envoy speechlessly. I've seen stupid, I've never seen anything so stupid. Who would hand over the army to those clergymen with their brains? It doesn't matter if the gods they believe in are upright gods such as the god of light, the god of beasts, and the god of nature, but the gods that the priests of Dak'ifa believe in are all abnormal gods!
After being silent for a long time, Lu Ming sighed and asked, "Then what do you want us to do?" β
"Actually, there is nothing, I just hope that you and Count Lothric will go to our country and guide us on the correct way to deal with the undead." Because of his weak heart, when the envoy said this, he didn't dare to look at Lu Ming and Lothric, but only dared to look at other places timidly.
And for this matter, Lu Ming naturally would not agree.
He is an earl of the Mirakesa Kingdom no matter what, not to mention whether it is dangerous to go to your side, it is enough to be ashamed to do something for him. It was enough for Lu Ming to sternly refuse the envoy's request.
But before Lu Ming could refuse, Lothric on the side sighed and pointed to the royal family on the side.
Immediately after, Lu Ming heard the royal family member say something that he couldn't believe it all.
"Her Majesty wants Count Lu Ming and Count Losric to go to the Dak Ifa Empire to help deal with those immortals."
"What!?" As soon as he heard this, Lu Ming suddenly slapped the table, stood up, and looked at the royal family member with an angry expression.
"Her Majesty the Empress and the Lord Regent think that if we don't help Dak'Ifa, they're likely to drive the undead to our side, so they want me to go with you to Dark'Efa." Sitting on the sofa, he took a sip of tea slowly, and then said to Lu Ming.
"......" gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment, then Lu Ming sighed heavily and asked the envoy, "What can we get for helping solve the matter of the immortals?" β
"If your country is willing to help us, we are willing to establish friendly diplomacy with your country, and we are willing to send a handcopy of all our magic books to Count Lu Ming and Count Lothric!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming and Lo Slick were stunned. The establishment of diplomatic relations is very sparse and ordinary, whoever is powerful, Dak Ifa will establish diplomatic relations with whom, it is not worth anything at all, and they will not be soft when they attack friendly countries.
But the manuscript of the magic book is different. This kind of thing is very valuable and very rare!
Now even on the black market of the Mirakaisa Kingdom, it is difficult to buy the magic books of the Duck Elves, Lu Ming has been thirsting for the magic books of the Duck Elves for a long time, if he can get the manuscripts of these Duck Elves' magic books this time, then there seems to be nothing to go to.
Moreover, even if the Darkk Elves ended up playing any tricks on the spellbook manuscript they had given them, the two of them as magicians would be able to see at a glance. So Lu Ming was tempted.
It's just that even if they were tempted, Lu Ming and Lothric still made a very embarrassed look, which made Dake Ifa's envoys very worried that the two of them would refuse, so they kept giving the royal family a look and asked him to help say a good word.
And in the past few days on the way to Errepos, the royal family members who have been seduced by this envoy of Dak Ifa have had to choose to enter the urn after seeing this beautiful lady glancing at him, even if they knew that Lu Ming and Lothric were deliberately delaying time and letting him take responsibility.
"Two counts, after all, this is an order from Her Majesty the Empress and Lord Regent, and you two should carry it out. In addition, if something happens, it will be borne by our royal family, and it has nothing to do with the two of you. On the side of the two Grand Dukes, I'll explain! Please rest assured. β
Since this member of the royal family chose to enter the urn by himself, Lu Ming and Lo Slick couldn't say anything more, so they had to agree.
However, if the royal family thought that they would obediently help Dak Ifa would be very wrong! With the personalities of the two of them, they will definitely plant countless spies in Dak'Efa and control the information of the entire Dark'Effa! Because no matter what, Dak'efa is a huge empire like the Ifa Empire, and it is a big threat to the Mirakaisa Kingdom!
"Since those envoys of the royal family have said so, then I, Lu Ming, can only agree." Lu Ming sat down again, and looked at the envoy of the royal family with a look of adultery between the two of you, making him break out in a cold sweat.....
-----------------------------------
Night.
Lu Ming returned to his Earl's Mansion through the teleportation magic station, and while asking the servants to clean up their salutes, he was also preparing these things to prevent Duck Effar from rebelling.
Perhaps hearing some rumors, Chimera suddenly found Lu Ming.
Lying on Lu Ming's back from behind, Chimera put her arms around Lu Ming's neck and said with a smile: "I heard that you are going to Dak Ifa, I don't know, can you take me with you?" You know, as a Darkk elf, I'm able to act as a translator for you! β
Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help laughing, gently touched his wife's smooth little hand, and said with a smile: "Even if you don't say it, I will take you there." Although I have learned a little bit of Dak Elf, it is better to take you, the Dak Elf! β
Hearing that Lu Ming seemed to be making fun of himself, Chimera bit Lu Ming's neck with a slightly angry bite. But Lu Ming did not resist, and was still caressing his wife's face. The Chimera quickly let go of him, put her arms around him, and smiled happily.
But while playing and making love with Lu Ming, there was a trace of uneasiness in Chimera's heart, she was afraid that Lu Ming would know that she was the Darkx elf on Dark's side, and think she was a liar, so she no longer liked her. So she would rather go with Lu Ming, than want Lu Ming to be alone there and be suspicious of her after Lu Ming learned the truth.
When he knew the truth, she could explain it by his side, but in his absence, everything was over.
Blank fantasy is the most terrifying! Chimera has experienced this in the past......
But she didn't know that Lu Ming had already known the fact that she was the Duck Elf of Duck Alpha. The reason why Lu Ming didn't say it was because he didn't want her to think nonsense.
For this wife who likes to worry blindly, Lu Ming likes it very much, rather than letting her worry about whether she will not like her, it is better to hide it from her. It's just that at this time, it's better not to be full anymore. After all, when she got to Dark's Effa, she might have to think about something.
Therefore, when Lu Ming was hugging him and playing and making love with him, he suddenly said: "That, you are the Darken Elf of Darker Effar, I know." β
Upon hearing this, Chimera was immediately stunned.
After a while, the Chimera began to cry.
"Don't you want me?"
Clearly, she was wrong.
"How could I not want my lovely Chimera? Didn't I say that? I will protect you for the rest of my life, as long as I am here, no one can hurt you! Turning around, he hugged the Chimera all of a sudden, Lu Ming wiped away the tears on the Chimera's face, and said very gently.
In this way, Chimera calmed down, broke into a smile, put her arms around Lu Ming's neck, and kissed him......
-----------------------------------
A few days later, Lu Ming, Chimera, and Lothric arrived at Dak Ifa along with the envoys of Dak Ifa.
As soon as he entered the country of the Dak Elf, Lu Ming found that the originally sunny sky suddenly turned into a cloudy and cloudy sky, as if something had changed the weather of Dak Ifa.
"Among the gods that Dak'Ifa's church believes, the Spider Queen and the Poison God are very disgusted with the gods of light, so the sun can't be seen on Dak'Ifa's side. Plants are also those that don't need the sun much. Just when Lu Ming was puzzled by the sudden change in the weather, Chimera suddenly smiled and explained it to her.
Seeing Chimera's affairs about her country, the envoy couldn't help but be a little surprised, but seeing that she was also a Duck elf, the envoy was relieved.
'Maybe this lady is also a Dak elf in our country, but for some reason, she married Count Lu Ming, right? β
Sitting in the carriage, Lu Ming quietly looked at the scenery outside the window, compared to Mira Kaisa, Dak Ifa looked very dark, even at noon, it seemed like evening, dark to a certain extent. As a light-loving human being, his first impression of this environment is not good. But he couldn't say anything, so he could only choose to be silent.
After walking on the dim path for almost several hours, Lu Ming and the others came to a fortress located on the border of Dak Effa.
Probably because of the undead curse, the Dak elven soldiers in the fortress looked very nervous, and besides, they were guarding in the direction of the country rather than their Mirakaisa.
"You're here to deal with the Curse of the Undead?" After being taken to the hospitality room by the commander in the fortress, the commander looked at Lu Ming and the others with veryγ»1 distrust.
And the envoy of Dak'Efa of his own country said angrily to the female Dak Elf: "Commander, I want you to make one thing clear, they are the honored guests that the Empress and the priests have asked me to invite, and they are not something that a small legion commander like you can question!" β
"I don't know what you nobles and priests think, but it seems to me that pinning the future of the empire on these two humans really can't reassure us soldiers who are charging on the front line. Especially since these two humans are still men! β
Sitting on the sidelines, looking at the two female Dak elves arguing there in Dak Elven language, although he didn't understand the meaning of their words, Lu Ming knew that this should actually be caused by the same xenophobia of Dak elves as the elves. The commander of the fortress did not believe him and Lothric, and the two of them were invited by the high-ranking of Dak Ifa, so the conflict caused the ideas of the envoy and the commander of the fortress to conflict.
However, although he and Lo Slick were the cause of the conflict between the two of them, neither Lu Ming nor Lo Slick planned to say anything. The whole posture of planning to watch a good show made the Chimera on the side a little embarrassed.
This embarrassment did not end until a soldier of the Darkk Elves ran in......
"Lord Viscount, there are many compatriots who have been cursed by the undead who have come from the direction of the country!"
