Chapter 152: Archibald Visits
※7 Little Gi De Einfast, the world-famous Winged Dark Magic Grandmaster, and the biological brother of Roland Einfast, the husband of Her Majesty Catherine, Empress of the Gall Empire.
He had set off a famous succession war on the continent of Enloth, competing with his brother Roland for the throne of the Iron Fist Dynasty, after defeat, he was turned into a stone statue by the court magicians under Roland, and after being lucky to escape, he came to the continent of Erathia and joined the necromancer camp of Deya, who is said to have a high status and a large group of loyal subordinates.
Under the reminder of the female magician, Jian Chen finally remembered this famous hero.
But how could such a big man come to him? Chen Jian was puzzled.
The female magician was even more nervous, she was afraid that this legendary rather evil magician had come to trouble Jian Chen.
But Jian Chen didn't think so.
"No, I haven't offended him, and now the Erathia Empire and Qiya are not at war, and besides, he is a magic master and a big man in Diya, if you really want to trouble me, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide from it!"
Therefore, Chen Jian generously welcomed this magician into his tent.
As a master of dark magic, Archibald has a strong yin owl smell on his body, but unlike some rumors, he is not an undead lich, on the contrary, his body looks quite healthy, and he is an out-and-out flesh-and-blood human, and what impresses Jian Chen the most is the very peculiar eagle hook nose on his face, which is definitely the most curved nose that Chen Jian has ever seen in his life.
Dressed in a well-tailored black magic robe, with a hood on his head, and a plain-looking wooden staff in his hand, Archibald looked inferior to Philip's expert magician.
However, the confidence and calmness shown between his sharp eyes and his gestures have already shown that he is extraordinary, and the sense of majesty formed by being in a position of position all the year round makes him look so different.
"I'm Archibald Aynfast, you can call me Archibald!"
As soon as they met, Archibald introduced himself lightly, he didn't mention any of his names, but with this name alone, he was enough to shock the continent.
"I have long admired your great name, Lord Archibald, and I am deeply honored to hear that you want to see me, but I am curious, what is the matter with you, a magician of the kingdom of Dia, looking for me, the lord of the Erathian Empire?"
Jian Chen's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, this attitude surprised Archibald a little, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
How many times when he pronounced his name in front of others, those guys would immediately show admiration or horror, and few people could be so calm and indifferent as the human in front of him.
"I think you misunderstood, young man, I don't want to see you, I don't know you, what I want to see is the commander of this imperial team, if you are the commander, then you will be the person I want to meet!"
Jian Chen smiled slightly and said, "As you can see now, I am the commander of this army. I am Jian Chen, the Count of the Erathian Empire and the Lord of Hammondal! ”
Archibald was a little surprised again: "You are Jian Chen?" ”
The other party's reaction made Chen Jian a little complacent, such a famous person also knew himself, which showed how famous he was recently, but he was still quiet on the surface.
And Archibald suddenly showed great joy at this time: "You should be able to contact Catherine, right?" I'm talking about magic teleportation letters! ”
Jian Chen hesitated, but nodded.
Seeing that the other party was confirmed, Archibald couldn't help laughing and said: "Very good, very good, I originally thought it would take a lot of effort, but I didn't expect to be so lucky to meet you!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his robe: "Young man, you must also know my relationship with your empress, I have a very important letter here, which needs to be sent to your empress immediately, I hope you can help me with this!" ”
Jian Chen, the half-elf, and the female magician glanced at each other, and they all became suspicious.
Although Akibald and the Empress are indeed relatives, the relationship between them has been in a state of friend and foe because of the inheritance war, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are enemies of life and death, but Archibald now wants to help send a letter to the Empress, what is going on?
Could it be that there is some conspiracy in this letter? Jian Chen's puzzled gaze stopped at the rather ornate scroll on his right hand.
Finding that Chen Jian was suspicious, Archibald didn't care, he put the scroll down lightly on Chen Jian's table, and said lightly: "If you are suspicious, you can personally check whether I have done anything on it, but I want to warn you in advance, before the end of the things mentioned in the letter, you must not tell others the content of the letter, otherwise, you will die!" ”
Jian Chen, the half-elf, and the female magician looked at each other again.
Chen Jian thought about it again, and felt that as Archibald, there seemed to be no reason to use such indiscriminate means to plot against Empress Catherine, and from the other party's words, the two were the meaning, and it seemed that the matter was indeed quite important. I made a few of them right away
"Your Excellency Archibald, it's not that I don't believe you, but the stakes are very high, and I would like to ask the Empress for instructions on this matter first, please go to other places and wait for a while! Pete, take Lord Archibald to rest! ”
"There's no need to rest, I'm sure Catherine will be eager to see this letter as soon as possible, I suggest you check this letter immediately if there is anything wrong with it, and then send it out immediately, the stakes are high, I can't take any chances, so I must watch you send the letter out with my own eyes, and wait for Catherine to hear back!"
As he spoke, Archibald looked at Jian Chen with blazing eyes.
"I hate to say that, but if I find out that something is wrong, or if I find out that you dare to deceive me, I will kill everyone here immediately! I've always done what I said."
The other party's warning made the atmosphere in the tent quite dangerous for a while, the half-elf's hand had already grasped the elven scimitar at his waist, and the female magician even blocked in front of Jian Chen's body, and there were fluctuations in the air where the fire element was gathering.
"Stop, Your Excellency Akibald has no ill will!" Jian Chen softly stopped the movements of the two.
Archibald smiled slightly and exclaimed: "You have two brave and loyal good subordinates, young man, who know my identity and dare to challenge me, their courage is commendable!" ”
Jian Chen did not answer. Instead, he picked up the scroll left by Archibald on the table and opened it slowly, just as Archibald said, this was an ordinary scroll, and no one had done anything to do it secretly.
But the earth-shattering content of the letter made Chen Jian fall into a petrified state in an instant.
The capital of the Erathian Empire, Standwick City, Geffenhardt Castle.
Empress Catherine had just finished her business and was having dinner in the castle's dining room.
She ate absentmindedly as she thought about what she should take to her study in the evening.
When the intelligence officer handed over the two scrolls sent by Jian Chen to her, she couldn't help but be stunned.
The scroll marked as an attachment. It was clearly the Imperial Scroll for the Iron Fist Dynasty of Enroth to transmit emergency messages, and the Iron Fist Dynasty logo on it was so obvious and self-explanatory.
And the 10,000-point rush mark that Chen Jian added on the other scroll made her even more frightened.
The army she sent to Baierdes some time ago to support the hill dwarves has not yet met Jian Chen. This guy hasn't been back to Hammondale for a long time, could it be that something happened on the way?
Come to think of it. Catherine hurriedly opened the scroll letter sent by Jian Chen, and at first glance, her face couldn't help but change greatly, and she immediately hurriedly opened the gorgeous scroll with the symbol of the Iron Fist Dynasty.
The information revealed on this scroll made the Empress completely stunned.
She stopped eating. Under the astonished gaze of the people, he stumbled back to his study. He sat down heavily in his chair, took the two scrolls in his hand and looked at them again and again, his face changing.
Eventually, as if she had made up her mind, she sat up straight and wrote a letter.
"Someone! Send this letter out now! Prepare my royal griffon now! I'm going to go out! Inform General Kendall to come to me, I have something to discuss with him! ”
Soon after. Protected by a team of archangel guards and a large flock of griffins, Empress Catherine took advantage of the darkness to leave the imperial capital.
She sat on the huge griffin she had dedicated to, her expression solemn.
The scroll with the royal emblem of Enroth was actually from this shameless fellow Archibald! This villain, who once tried to take her husband's throne but failed, even helped the necromancers and the empire against him in Diya before!
But now he dares to put on a picture in front of himself that he will change his mistakes and have deep brotherly love! In the letter, he claimed that he had found and rescued her husband Roland, who had been missing for several years!
It's unbelievable!
But on this scroll there is not only Archibald's signature and seal, but also the autograph of her husband Roland!
The familiar handwriting stunned Catherine on the spot.
Rowland isn't dead yet! Ever since he disappeared in the battle with the Cregans, many people have assumed that he is dead, otherwise he would not have been heard from for years, and even the Empress herself had already acquiesced to this fact in her mind, but refused to face it.
But he's not dead! He's still alive! According to Archibald's description in the letter, Roland was taken from Enroth to the continent of Erathia by these demons after being captured by the Cregans, and was imprisoned in Auver for several years, where he was tortured.
The thought that her beloved husband was still alive, and that he had been subjected to inhuman treatment in the enemy's den, made the Empress cry like rain on the back of the griffin.
