Segolena's right index finger pressed against Luciumarcu's throat, and with a slight amount of strength, he could be pierced and killed. Rao is hermit's martial arts are amazing, and he can't stop it for a while. The hermit frowned and said, "Virtuous man, isn't it ridiculous that you threaten me with your own companions?" Segolena said, "I am not friends with the deacon, but we are forced by the might of the Ottoman army to join forces. Now that the army has retreated, he is worthless to me, and kills him like a mustard, and his life is worth more than the price?" said the hermit: "Alexandru also knows the whereabouts of Bogdan. You kill the deacon, I kill you, and then I go and ask the Grand Duke, what's the matter? ”

Segolena laughed: "If you could ask from the mouth of the Grand Duke, you would have asked a long time ago, why bother to spend more time and sneak the night to capture this deacon?" Segolena knew that this was the only way for his people to survive, so he didn't dare to be careless, and his eyes did not leave Luciusmaku for a moment, and said, "You bring Zio and Augustine over first." ”

The hermit listened to his tone very unceremoniously, and said angrily, "How dare you order me, this boy?" said, "Whatever you want, in short, hurry." The finger poked into his throat a few more minutes. The hermit snorted coldly, turned around and jumped up the valley slope gently, lifting one in one hand, Zio and Augustine both weighed more than one hundred and forty pounds, and they were picked up like wild pheasants at this time. With a flick of his arm, the two men flew up behind Segolena and landed on the ground with a thud. Segolena heard the sound of ** from the two of them, and there was no danger of his life, so he barely put his mind at ease. Just now, the hermit wanted to subdue Segolena because he didn't take a heavy hand on his two companions, otherwise they would have nine lives and would have died. Segolena took out the Bergen Tzu Chi pills from his bosom, threw the last two pills to Zio and Augustine, and then shouted to the hermit: "I told you to bring them here, why did you throw them like a javelin? ”

The hermit was furious, with his identity, his actions just now were already a noble condescension, but Segolena treated him like a reprimand, it was really unbearable! Segolena deliberately disturbed his mind, and said: "Don't lean over, stand away, the smell of corpses is so bad." The hermit stared at him as if he were going to cut his heart open.

Zio and Augustine took the Tzu Chi pills in Bergen, and their spirits were less refreshed, but their throats were still burning like fire, and the pain was unbearable. They got up from the ground, and their eyes were extremely jealous of the hermit. Segolena knew that he couldn't hide it from the hermit's ears, so he simply didn't lower his voice, and said to them loudly: "I threatened the deacon's life to let that guy throw a rat trap. Now, the three of us had to drag the deacon away, and forgive him for not daring to chase him. ”

The hermit said coldly on the side: "He was hit by my zodiac twelve attacks, and it hurt for a while, and he will die of pain in a few hours, how far can you go?" Segolena smiled: "You reminded me, come and help the deacon melt the internal strength in his body." The hermit said, "Why did I do this?" Segolena said, "If you solve the twelve attacks, you will have a chance to ask about Bogdan's whereabouts, if you do not understand, you will break us into pieces, and it will be useless." ”

The hermit sighed: "What a clever boy! Your sharp mouth is more powerful than martial arts, if you can't use it for my Holy Alliance, sooner or later it will become a great harm!" He had already developed a murderous intent and took two steps forward. Segolena shouted: "What are you going to do?" The hermit said: "I'm not close, how can I relieve him from attacking?" Segolena said: "Aren't you able to shoot in the air?" The hermit said: "The air bullet is just a straight force, how can it dissolve the twists and turns of the twelve attacks." Segolena said with an "oh" and said, "It turns out that your kung fu is not helpful, you will only be straight to the bull's strength." The hermit knew that he was nitpicking, but he ignored it, and secretly calculated the time in his heart.

Lu Xiumaku suddenly let out a slurred mum** from his mouth, his eyes suddenly expanded, and his whole body shook violently. Segolena could barely control the old man, and hurriedly asked Zio and Augustine to come over and hold him down his hands and feet, still holding one hand against his throat to prevent the hermit from suddenly attacking, and the other hand probed his knees and calves. It doesn't matter if you probe this time, you can find a strong true qi rushing into the Capricorn Palace from the Pisces Palace with both feet, rampage, like a wild bull breaking into a porcelain shop, and everywhere you go, the four liquids are disordered, and the blood and qi are messy. With just the palm of flesh attached to his calf, he could feel the true qi leaping and beating under the cortex, and Lucimarku's own pain could be imagined.

Segolena didn't know the reason for the circulation of the twelve attacks, and was afraid that rashly injecting the internal force of the Proverbs would only add to the chaos, and he was helpless for a while. This time it took six or seven minutes to stop, and that true qi destroyed the Capricorn Palace, and it slowly followed the blood flow to join the body fluid circulation and went away. Lu Xiumaku's eyes were bloodshot in pain, covered in a layer of wet sweat, and the hermit had cracked his spine again, so it could be said that half his life had gone. The hermit did not take the opportunity to make a move, and when he saw that the second attack had gradually subsided, he calmly said: "This is just the beginning, and after an hour, I will ascend to the Aquarius Palace, but I am afraid that this old man will not be able to withstand it." ”

Unable to do anything, Segolena helped Luci Maku up with his back to the hermit, facing himself, between the two, still holding his fingers against his throat, and said to the hermit: "Okay, you come and help him with his attack, and if I find out what tricks you have, kill him immediately." The hermit sneered: "Good is like a stream, and good is great." "Walk forward, and use your withered five fingers to caress Lucius's back. With a dip in his fingers, Luciu Macuden let out a long breath from his mouth, as if relieved.

The hermit suddenly changed his fingering again, and with a lightning snap, he connected the three sixteen star life points on Lu Xiu Maku's back, and Lu Xiu Maku's body couldn't help but fall forward. Segolena didn't dare to leave his throat with one finger, and pinched his wrist with the other hand, feeling that the momentum of the true qi was slightly weaker, knowing that the hermit was indeed relieving the attack, and he relaxed a little.

At this moment, Segolena suddenly felt a surge of aura in Luciu's body, and at first he thought that the attack had worked, but this aura quickly converged into a torrent, gushing out from his throat and wrists, and shook his hands apart. A thought flashed through his mind, and he shouted in his heart, Lu Xiumaku has no such cultivation, it must be the hermit who used advanced means to attack him by using internal force to fight cattle across the mountains and cross the old man's body.

Thinking of this, Segolena reacted very quickly, and immediately pointed his finger to poke Luciumarku in the throat. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiumaku's Golden Bull Palace and the double ** were already filled with the hermit's internal force, and the cortex was bulging, and he couldn't poke it with his fingers.

In this momentary miss, the hermit had already pulled over Luciumarcus's shoulder, and Phidipides' shrunken footwork flashed, and Segolena saw a flash, and the two of them had already stood more than a dozen steps away, and the opportunity was lost. Segolena did a lot of calculations, but he still didn't calculate that the hermit could be lucky. This person's tricks are endless, and they are really unfathomable.

The hermit hugged Luci Maku and smiled at Segolina: "The mechanism is too clever, what else do you have to say now?" Segolina's face was like ashes, he was full of scheming, but he was restrained by the other party with his clever martial arts, which can be said to be a complete defeat. He stood up and said to Zio and Augustine: "I can stop him for a while, and you two should hurry back to the city of Suceava and teach Bishop Joseph and the Grand Duke to take precautions." Zio said angrily: "I, the Sventovites, never abandon my friends and escape!" Augustine could not speak, but could only make a few gestures that could not leave. Segolena's heart was hot, and he couldn't help but shout: "It's okay! You and I are together, just fight with him to the death!"

The hermit over there smiled: "Until now, are you still lucky?" After speaking, his eyes narrowed, and his fierce face was revealed, and he was about to set up a killer. Lu Xiumaku opened his eyes at this time and muttered, "Hermit Lord, let them go back to the city, otherwise I won't spare you." The hermit didn't expect him to say this, and just wanted to speak, but he was stunned all of a sudden. It turned out that Lu Xiumaku took advantage of the hermit's momentary defense, and reluctantly raised the middle finger of his right hand and pointed it at the corridor of the second palace on his chest. This place is the intersection of the chest Cancer Palace and the heart lion**, each with a star life point coincides here, which is called the "Second Palace Corridor", which is the most important.

The hermit was naturally well aware of this, but he didn't think so: "How much finger power can you have? The grasshopper shakes the tree, which is ridiculous. Lu Xiumaku said: "What if I use a golden finger?" The hermit was stunned for a moment, and then said: "How can you, a half-crippled person, a dying person, come out?" Luxiu Maku said: "Originally, there was none, but you just attacked Segolena through me, and by the way, you also instilled some internal strength in me, which is enough to use." The hermit smiled and said, "You have to lie to the three-year-old child." Lu Xiumaku pointed to his finger and said, "Then the Lord might as well give it a try." ”

The hermit said in a deep voice: "You can think clearly, you have already used a golden finger yesterday, and if you use it again today, it will inevitably run out of oil." At that time, the body was empty, the internal strength of the twelve attacks was not restricted, and the walking was even faster, and the attack was several times more painful than usual. Indeed, when I die, there will be no one to relieve you. Lu Xiumaku didn't know where he got the strength, and laughed loudly: "Who wants you to solve this situation! The old man's situation is better than to live as soon as possible." Fortunately, the foreign enemy has retreated, and I can turn a blind eye to death. Then he shouted at Segolena and Zio, "Leave quickly, and tell the Grand Duke what has happened tonight, so that he may be on his guard." I'm here to restrain him, and he won't dare to chase him. The hermit said, "In an hour, the third attack will start, and you will die." When the time comes, how far will they be able to escape?" Luciumaku said in a loud voice, "Didn't you hear him say, don't you go quickly!!"

Segolena frowned, and when he realized that this was not reckless, he turned back to Zio and Augustine and shouted, "Let's go!" Zio glanced at the deacon, his expression was tangled and complicated, and he turned his head and left. The hermit's voice sounded unhurriedly behind him: "There will be a period later." "The meaning is full of malice.

The three of them quickly left the hills and hurried back to the abandoned mill. When they arrived at the mill, the three men took their luggage, mounted their horses, did not dare to make any further stops, but immediately crossed the stream, picked up the wild country road, and ran away. All the way the horses' hooves were bursting, the bumps were constant, the three of them bowed and stepped on the feet, their buttocks did not leave the saddle, and they did not stop whipping their mounts, only to get farther away from the hermit, and farther away.

They had been running for a long time, when Segolene suddenly grabbed the reins, and with a neighing of his mount, he turned his head. Zio and Augustine were startled, and then reined in their horses, and Zio asked, "What?" Segolena looked in the direction he came, and his tone was gloomy: "An hour has come, and the third attack must have started." Zio was silent, and they all knew what that meant.

Zio grabbed the saddle, leaned forward, and suddenly asked, "But there is one thing I really don't understand, since the deacon has choked the hermit's vital point, why shouldn't he kill him immediately, so as to prevent future trouble?" Segolena said gloomily: "The deacon has been deeply wounded, where is there any strength to use some golden fingers." The hermit used his body to attack me, but with his broken body, the internal force would only be like a mirror of water, trickling down. The deacon is just bluffing, covering our escape. Although the hermit had doubts, he was a life-sparing person after all, and he didn't dare to try it with his own body, but he still followed the path of the deacon. Zio was shocked and said, "Then when the third attack starts, won't it be immediately exposed?" Segolena said: "Yes, now we have to pray to God that the soul of the deacon will ascend to heaven as soon as possible." ”

Then he jumped off his horse, fell on his knees, and bowed his head in prayer. Zio pulled out his serrated sword, pointed at the black clouds in the distance, his eyes were excited and wet, and he said loudly: "Lord Deacon, I originally looked down on your soft bones. I never thought that you would be such a good man. From now on, the Sventovets respect you and love you, and do not tolerate the slightest blasphemy. Whtarang Srleko Zio hereby swears to protect Moldova on your behalf, and not to die!" He thrust his sword into the ground and knelt down to pray with Segolena. Augustine found some small stones on the side of the road and smashed them into pieces, and sprinkled them around the horses, whining in his mouth and his legs jumping from side to side from time to time, thinking that it was a Zimbabwean ceremony to honor the brave heroes. Unconsciously, a night wind quietly blew, sending the powder into the air, like snow rolling frost, and soon drifting away in the night.

When the prayer was over, the three men got on their horses again and galloped away. Whether it was because the horses were swift or because the hermit had given up, they ran for two days in a row, and there was no movement behind them, and the journey was smooth sailing, and in a short time they returned to the city of Suceava. When they arrived at the city gate, it was noon, the two city gates were wide open, and the merchants and civilians were bustling, entering and exiting like a tide, and it was very lively.

The guards guarding the door recognized Zio, and although they saw that the black man beside him was suspicious, they did not dare to talk to each other, and after asking a few words, they let the three of them go. Segolena couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the first time he entered Suceava, when Luciumarcu was by his side. The three of them entered the city and went straight to the Cathedral of St. Cyril. A Sventovidian patrol had already reported it, and Archbishop Joseph, Yulinia, and the Sventovites had come out of the church to greet them, all of them delighted. This trip, I don't know how many people's hearts are touched.

Yulinia stood on the stone in front of the church, looking forward to it, and when she saw that Zio who was walking in front of her was safe and sound, she shouted with joy, and ran to the horse in three steps and two steps, calling Zio's name. Zio couldn't help but feel excited, jumped off the horse, put his hands around her thin waist and spun around her waist a few times, smelling a burst of blue musk deer, and his whole body fluttered lightly like stepping on cotton. Yulinia was panicked at first, flushed, and then let Zio hold her, but her eyes were fixed on Segolena, her eyes shining, and she wanted to say anything. Segolena smiled, and before he could say anything, he was hit by Archbishop Joseph in the chest with Occam's Truth Punch, and a thunderous laugh rumbled: "Whahahaha, I thought you little imps died in the wilderness!" The rest of the Sventovites surrounded Augustine, staring at him in amazement, Augustine was probably used to this kind of treatment, and he was calm, and his eyes did not leave the blonde master for a moment.

After a period of pleasantries, Archbishop Joseph let them into the church, instructed the priest to lock the door, and only called Segolena and Zio to the confessional room. Yulinia wanted to follow, saying that she was the chief female disciple of the Sventovites and had the right to observe, but the archbishop couldn't stand her grinding, so she had to agree.

The four of them sat down in the confessional room, and Zio detailed the events of the past few days in Moldovan, while Segolena filled in the ominties in Greek. This lecture lasted for a long time, and after listening to the speech, the archbishop and Yulinia were dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time, and even forgot to drink the milk tea that had been brewed. The formidable hermit who appeared out of thin air was terrifying, but Deacon Lucius's great deeds made them even more shocked, admired, and ashamed. Archbishop Joseph opened his mouth several times to speak, but he didn't know how to phrase it, and finally stretched out his fist and slammed the wooden door, "coughed" heavily, and said, "This Lu Xiu...... Ahem, this deacon didn't expect to be a hard man, and I really blamed him before!" Yulinia hurriedly asked, "If this is the case with Luciusmaku, does the senior brother also have any trouble?" She could not let go of the betrayal of Malaud, and only hoped that the Sventovites would clear up the stain. Qi Ao's face sank and said: "Ma Luo is also working for the hermit behind the deacon's back, why do you still call him senior brother?!" Yulinia hung her head and was silent, Qi Ao knew that her little junior sister had the most important sect reputation, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he persuaded softly: "Ma Luo was confused by beauty, and he plotted to kill the respected teacher, he is no longer the disciple of my Sventovites, junior sister, you don't have to mind, there is the bishop's grandfather and the young man Segolena, sooner or later he will be captured." Yulinia raised her eyes to look at the blonde boy, her eyes intertwined, and Segolena bowed slightly, which made her heart thump.

Archbishop Joseph touched his bald head, frowned, and said, "Listen to you, this Ottoman army is actually the hermit Maharaja who attracted Suceava in an attempt to force out that Bogdan?" Segolena said: "Exactly, he sent Saleva to be Alexandru's concubine, and also to find out the whereabouts of Bogdan." "Archbishop Joseph said: "Although the name Bogdan is not popular, there are many people who use it, but in this city of Suceava, I am afraid that there are more than 100 people, is it possible to copy and check them one by one?" Segolena said: "Before I left, the deacon sent a letter with words of persuasion to leave early, maybe it was written to Bogdan, I wonder if the bishop has a clue?" The words spoken by the deacon when he delivered the letter were carefully examined by this seat, and I could only hear that they were sent to a monastery in the west of the city, but it was impossible to know to whom it was handed over. Segolena said happily, "What's so difficult about that, knowing that it's in the monastery, don't you just have to inquire about it?" He was a little surprised when he saw that the other three all had wry smiles on their faces. Qi Ao said: "Shaoxia, you don't know, my people in Moldova believe in God, and I don't know how many monasteries in the west of the city, among which there are many monks and monks, so clueless searching is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." ”

Archbishop Joseph clapped his hands and said, "It seems that if you want to solve this matter, you must go to the Grand Duke for discussion! Archbishop Joseph Huo Ran got up: "This matter must be done by this seat. Zio, Segolena, let Yulinia take the two of you and rest for a while, these few days are enough for you to work hard. Segolena and Zio were indeed exhausted, and they did not refuse, and were about to take their leave, when Archbishop Joseph said: "Yulinia, you have taken my edict to the cabinet and the chief of the city defense, and taught them to be vigilant and not to let suspicious people get in." Yulinia took it.

Archbishop Joseph changed his crown robe, washed his hands, and stepped into the carriage and rumbled all the way to the Grand Duke's castle. Yulinia took Zio, Segolena, and Augustine out of the church of St. Cyril and to the Sventovites' residence in the east of the city. This is a large compound with fences sharpened with solid wood and roasted with fire, standing side by side, quite solid. The front yard is a training ground, there are more than 100 steps wide in a radius, there are several wooden houses in the back, simple and simple, there is no decoration, and there are watchtowers at the four corners of the courtyard. On weekdays, the disciples of the Sventovet sect practiced martial arts here and gathered to discuss matters.

At this time, it was almost evening, and most of the disciples of the Sventoviit faction had been sent to strengthen the city defenses, and the courtyard was quite quiet. Accustomed to his own room, Augustine refused to enter the house and lay down on the floor in a secluded part of the schoolyard. Yulinia took Segolena to her room, which was exceptionally clean, except for a bed and a tent, all of which were plain white, and a bunch of pale yellow daisies were diagonally inserted next to the bed, faintly fragrant.

After Segolena entered the house, his nose twitched, and he smiled: "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant." Yulinia said, "I've always disliked those overseas spices, the taste is too strong. I picked this flower today, and only the faint smell of fresh wildflowers is good, such as hyacinths, cornflowers, acacias, yellow catkins, etc., all have their own flavors. Daisies have a calming effect, and you can get a good night's sleep later. She reported a bunch of flower names in one breath, and her voice was crisp and vivid, which was very good. Segolena leaned close to her neck and sniffed, then looked up and said, "You also have a scent on you, which is a little different from the scent of wild flowers. Yulinia was so frightened that she turned around and dodged, and said in embarrassment: "You, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly so close!" Segolena was swept to the tip of her nose by the girl's long hair, and there was a slight itch, and there were a few wisps of fragrance, which was quite useful, and he rubbed his nose and said: "That day Saleva came to my room, and it was so close, the fragrance was so strong, and I was so smoky that I was going to faint." You smell so much better than she smells. He was the speaker of the unintentional, and Yulinia was embarrassed and angry when she heard this: "How can you compare me to that lewd ...... That bad woman!" raised his hand and was about to fight.

On weekdays, the brothers and sisters love Yulinia, and they tolerate it everywhere, and occasionally take a few fan punches from her to enjoy it. Segolena didn't know this, as soon as she saw her fist swinging, her five fingers suddenly flipped, and she pinched her slender wrist, and the fingers suddenly felt smooth and delicate. Yulinia struggled a few times and couldn't break free, she was very anxious, and said angrily: "You bully me! You bully me!" Segolena was stunned: "Obviously you are going to beat me, how can I bully you?" Yulinia was in a hurry, a string of Moldovans slipped out of her mouth, her hands shook wildly, Segolena couldn't understand the words, she wanted to let go of her hand, but she was a little reluctant in her heart. Between the two pushing and pulling, Yulinia's feet were crooked, and with a small scream, she was hugged by Segolena with a fragrant jade.

Yulinia didn't dare to struggle, her whole body froze there, and she let her arms around him. Segolena was quite surprised, these few grapplings were not difficult to dismantle, how could she throw herself into the net? His heart was fluttering, and he did not want to let go, and slowly found that the delicate body in his arms had become softer, and he was not as nervous as he had just been. The girl lay in his arms, and suddenly sighed faintly: "I thought that after the death of the second senior brother, no one would be able to treat me like this." I can't imagine that you and he are both as bad. Segolenaki said: "Augustin's Zimbabwean grappler, it is this kind of hugging technique, and the Murphy Vicch brothers will also?"

Yulinia's face changed, and she suddenly shook off Segolina's arm, hurriedly brushed her forehead hair, turned her head and walked out of the room. Segolena didn't know what was going on, and he didn't chase him out, but lay down on the bed by himself. The bed was freshly sunned, with the soft scent of the sun, and as soon as he touched his head on the pillow, he immediately fell asleep. Outside, Yulinia waited for him to chase after him, and when she heard the snoring in the house, she couldn't help but whisper "idiot", and then she left in a huff, and she couldn't tell whether she wanted him to be smarter or stay longer.

Since he left the city, Segolena has slept in the open air, and spent most of his time on the road, until today he has no bed to sleep in, and this sleep is very sweet, from the evening until noon the next day. When he got up, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, and found that there was a pot of oatmeal porridge and a piece of pine nut pastry beside the bed, which was quite strangely shaped, as if it had been made by a clumsy apprentice, but there were many nuts and sweet dew in it, but it could be seen that a lot of thought had been spent. Segolena picked up the pastry and ate it a few times, and drank the oatmeal porridge in one go, feeling that the four fluids in the body were calm, and the true qi was surging, and he couldn't help but sit cross-legged on the bed and breathe for a while, letting the true qi circulate in the Twelve Star Palace for a week, and feeling extremely comfortable.

Having eaten and drunk, Segolena strolled the door open and saw Augustine standing outside. When the black man saw his master awake, he was overjoyed, and went and bowed down to the ground, and offered a clean set of coarse cloth in both hands. Segolena asked where the garment came from, and Augustine pointed to the distance and made his hands in the shape of his long hair. Segolena let out an "oh" and changed his clothes, the shirt was a good size, and the cuffs were embroidered with a Moldovan word and a bellflower in red thread, which sounded like Swinger, perhaps his old thing.

Zio happened to come from the side, his beard had been shaved clean, and when he saw that Segolena had gotten up, he took his hand and said in a deep voice: "Archbishop Joseph has arrived, call us over." Seeing that his face was solemn, Segolena knew that there must be something important, so he didn't ask much and went with him. The two of them walked down the hallway to the Sventovites' chamber. This is the largest room in the whole courtyard, with a spear, a sword and a shield in the middle of the hall, as well as three bunches of white horsehair, and a miniature painting on the wall facing the gate, which depicts the story of Sventovitte and Stryberg, the god of war.

Archbishop Joseph, who had been waiting in the church for a long time, was chatting with Yulinia when he saw Segolena and Zio coming in, flicked the sleeves of his robes and greeted them. As the patriarch of Joseph, he would wait for Segolena to get up, which was really very blue-eyed for this young man. Yulinia saw Segolena come in, her jaw tilted, and she turned her gaze away.

Segolena didn't say much to greet him, and asked bluntly: "You went to see the Grand Duke, what was the result?" Archbishop Joseph said indignantly: "The Grand Duke is really old and confused. I revealed the details of Marlord and Salohua to my face, and he actually said that Xiaosha should not be that kind of person, and there must be a misunderstanding, and asked me who Mallord was, but he really didn't remember, and he was so angry! How shrewd the Grand Duke was when he was young, and how he has become so stupid now!" Zio sighed: "That foxy woman is really amazing, and she fascinates both Mallord and Alexandrus. Yulinia snorted coldly and glared at Segolene again.

Archbishop Joseph added: "It's ridiculous that the Grand Duke doesn't know it, and he shouts to let Luciumarcus come and argue with this seat. He was really angry, so he told him that the deacon was dead, and told him a little about the hermit, and the Grand Duke was silent, and his expression was quite flustered, and he said that the deacon would die as if he were dead. I asked him again who Bogdan was, and the Grand Duke's eyes flashed, and he avoided talking about it several times, and was forced to be in a hurry, and even called the guards to drive him out. "So the Grand Duke must know something!" and Archbishop Joseph said triumphantly: "Yes, this seat is angry, and it doesn't matter what God he is." The guards were so frightened by this that their muscles and bones were so weak that they collapsed on the ground and did not dare to move. This seat said to the Grand Duke that now that a strong enemy is within reach, no matter whether Suceava, Bogdan or you Alexandru are in an unforeseen situation, such a concealment can only sit back and wait for death! The Grand Duke saw that he really could not hide, so he had to vaguely tell the truth, that Bogdan was actually his son. ”

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this, and Zio exclaimed, "How is this possible?" The Grand Duke had three sons after marriage, the eldest son, Iliye, who had been stationed on the northern Polish border for many years, the second son, Stefan, who was the lord of the port of Kilia in the south, and the third son, Peter, who accompanied his mother to recuperate in Iasi, was absent from Suceava. Archbishop Joseph squinted at him and said disdainfully: "You kid has grown so big in vain, you don't even understand human feelings, what does giving birth to a baby have to do with marriage?" Archbishop Joseph added: "When I first heard this, I was very surprised, and I didn't expect him to have an illegitimate child. But the Grand Duke refused to say that these things were suspected of being in the palace, and this seat was a person from outside the party, so it was not good to ask again. I asked him where he was now, and the Grand Duke said that he had never seen him, and that the deacon had contacted him on his behalf. Yulinia said: "It is no wonder that Luciusmaku called himself a 'servant' in the letter, and it seems that the person who answered the letter was undoubtedly Bogdan, and also his young master. Archbishop Joseph praised her acuity, and sighed: "Luciumarcus was tortured by the hermit and refused to confess, and the deacon was really loyal to the Grand Duke and this bastard son, and would rather die than let the Archduke's scandal break out." Segolena doubted: "I'm afraid that things are not so simple, that illegitimate son once taught Lu Xiumaku to point the golden finger, and the power is so strong that even the hermit is afraid of a few points, it can be seen that his martial arts are extremely profound, and it is by no means as simple as a noble illegitimate child." Zio said on the side: "This matter can only be understood by capturing Malaud and Saleva." ”

Archbishop Joseph patted the back of his chair hatefully and said: "When I came out of the Grand Duke's room, I immediately sent someone to arrest the pair of adulterers, but neither of them was in the house. I called the guards to search up and down the castle, but there was no trace of them, thinking that they had already sniffed out the smell and ran away. This seat has told all the city guards to strictly check and not teach a suspicious person to leave the city. Qi Ao said indignantly: "The Grand Duke is confused and misunderstood, I really don't know how the deacon has waited for him in the past few years!" A few days ago, he scolded Luciumaku for being a Turkish dog, but now he is sure to call him an adult.

Segolena said, "What should we do now?" said Archbishop Joseph, "I have a plan. Since the letter was sent to a monastery on the west side of the city, I arranged for a few secret posts to be hidden at the west gate. As soon as he saw a suspicious person in the castle coming out, he followed him. The Grand Duke's words may not be true, after he was kicked out of the inside story by this seat, he may be in a hurry to contact Bogdan, and then we will follow him, and we will naturally be able to find it. The other three clapped their hands and said it was a good plan. Archbishop Joseph nodded, shook his head again, and said, "This old Alexandrus, for his good, we have to do things so secretly, so that we are not happy." Yulinia advised: "Grandpa Bishop is dedicated to the country, and the city of Suceava knows it. The Grand Duke doesn't understand, how can we, the common people, not understand the painstaking efforts of the bishop's grandfather. ”

When she said this, Archbishop Joseph laughed, and after laughing, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Come on, you can rest next, and this seat will naturally come to inform you when there is news." He turned and strode away.

After Archbishop Joseph left, Yulinia got up to clean up the dishes, but was grabbed by Zio and said, "Senior sister, I have a few words to say to you." Yulinia was stunned for a moment, and when Segolena saw this, she immediately said, "You talk to yourself, I'll go to Augustine to play tricks." After saying that, he walked out of the lobby.

Augustine was waiting in the hall, and was glad to see his master coming. Saigolena said: "Your Zimbabwean big gripper is quite interesting, but you are too self-assured of your bravery, and you can still fight when you meet a master from an outsider; Come, come, you and I will take a closer look, I will teach you some methods of luck, and you will also teach me some means of grabbing. ”

So the two of them dismantled the moves on the school field, moving extremely slowly, not seeking to defeat the enemy, but only to see the way of the fists and feet. After about an hour of dismantling, Augustine was already sweating profusely, but Segolena was not tired at all. A few of the disciples of the Sventovet faction also came to watch the fun, and at first they only said that such slow fists were nothing more than a joke, but later they found that there were many mysteries, and they also practiced in their way. From time to time, Segolena gave pointers, like a teacher.

Segolena didn't bother to glance at it, and suddenly saw Yulinia walking out of the lobby. There was a look of confusion on her fair face, and although her pace was steady, it was a little more sluggish. When the disciples of the Sventovites saw this, they stopped and greeted her, and Yulinia walked straight to Segolena as if she hadn't heard it. Segolena also stopped dismantling and asked, "Are you done talking?" Yulinia let out an "um". Segolena said "oh". The girl stared at him in the eyes, and seeing that he was silent for a long time, she couldn't help frowning and asked, "Don't you want to know what we are talking about?" Segolena said: "What is the matter of your faction, how good can I, an outsider, hear about it." Yulinia shook her body, tears welled up in her eyes, and she stomped her feet and said loudly: "He asked me to marry you!" Segolena was stunned and said, "Why did Brother Zio say this?"

It turned out that after Segolena left the lobby, Zio took the opportunity to confess his heart to Yulinia. He said that he had been fond of her since he was introduced, and he had to bury it in his heart because of his second brother, Swichd. After Swift's death, he thought he had a chance, but he managed to kill a Segolena in the middle of the way. Yesterday's behavior of the two of them in Yulenia's house, Zio actually saw it clearly from the sidelines, he was inferior to Segolena in terms of martial arts and prestige, and after thinking about it again and again, he persuaded Yulinia to marry Segolena and recruit him into the Sventovites, so that this faction could flourish.

Yulinia is just a young girl who has just fallen in love, how can she have experienced such a thing, after listening to Zio's words, she was at a loss, and walked out of the lobby alone, and came to Segolena. I didn't expect Segolena to be talented, but he didn't know anything about it. When she saw that he didn't care, she said that the flowers were intentional, and the water was ruthless, and for a while, the pain of losing her teacher, the sorrow of losing her spouse, the ruthless resentment, frustration, chagrin, and resentment all kinds of emotions poured out together, and she simply threw herself into Segolena's arms and cried.

When the surrounding Sventovet disciples saw the little junior sister's situation, some of them were ignorant and wanted to step forward to comfort them, but they were cleverly dragged and said, "This kind of thing, where can we put our beaks!" Segolena didn't expect Yulinia to do this, and froze in place as her tears wet the hem of Swift's clothes. He suddenly saw Zio slowly walking out of the lobby, his expression was depressed, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and shouted: "Brother Zio." Qi Ao suddenly knelt on the ground, endured the pain and said earnestly: "Shaoxia, my junior sister is sincere to you, please agree to her!"

Yulinia jerked her head up, and shouted at Zio with teary eyes, "I don't want you to beg him! Yulinia gritted her teeth and said, "Get out of here!" Raising his fist, Augustine used his Zimbabwean grappling hand to whirl around, neither letting her go nor hurting her. Yulinia only felt that the shadow of her arm in front of her was heavy, and she was blocked several times in a row, she wiped her tears, turned her head and said hatefully to Segolena: "Do you want to keep me here, or let me go?"

Before Segolena could reply, a knight suddenly burst into the school yard in the distance, and the horses did not stop until they were in front of the group. The knight said loudly to Segolene and Zio: "Archbishop Joseph has sent a message, there is movement in the west of the city, and I tell you to go to the west gate to gather as soon as possible!" Yulinia knew what was going on, and she stomped her foot, turned around, and ran back to her room.

Segolena felt apologetic, walked over and patted Zio on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zio, there is something that is not good to hide from you now. Zio blamed him for not accepting Yulinia, and said in a deep voice: "What?" Segolena ripped off his shirt, revealing three spots on his chest and shoulders, and a total of four on his forehead, Zio looked puzzled, and Segolena said: "I am actually the successor of the Gospel of Matthew in this generation among the Twelve Apostles of the Court, and this cross spot is proof." Zio exclaimed, "Then you are not ......" Segolena said: "Yes, the Apostles of the Court Protector are also monks, and they must devote themselves to serving God, and they cannot be married." When Qi Ao heard this, he didn't know whether to rejoice in himself or feel sorry for his sister, so he had mixed feelings and couldn't speak. Segolena buttoned her clothes again and said with a smile: "It's over this matter now, you can talk to Yulinia." ”

At this time, Yulinia packed up and returned to the school grounds, she tied up her long hair, and washed away the tears on her face, still heroic and beautiful, but expressionless. She walked quickly to the two of them, only looked at Zio and said, "Let's go." Neither Zio nor Segolena dared to say more, and the three of them mounted their horses and galloped towards the west of the city. Augustin tugged on Segolena's ponytail and ran barefoot all the way.

When he arrived at the west gate of Suceava, Archbishop Joseph had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw that they had arrived, he was impatient: "You are so late! Everyone is running out!" Segolena rode over and asked, "Is there any movement in the Grand Duke?" Archbishop Joseph said quite proudly: "Thank God, how can the secret whistle personally arranged by this seat be wrong--I did not expect that the Grand Duke did not send anyone, but went there in person." ”

The three of them were stunned, and Zio said: "The Grand Duke himself went out of the city? Could it be that he is mistaken, he has not left Suceava for decades." Archbishop Joseph said: "The Grand Duke brought a dozen personal soldiers, did not carry a flag and honor guard, and went out of the West Gate in civilian clothes, only saying that he was going to hunt. Now we are heading towards Dagan Mountain in the west of the city, and our men have quietly followed behind. Yulinia asked, "There are three monasteries in the Dagan Mountains, which one will he go to?" Archbishop Joseph said, "Just follow along!" He glanced at Yulicia, and felt that she looked a little strange, but he was not allowed to think about it in the present time.

So the four of them did not bring much manpower, but only taught Augustine to accompany him, and galloped away. The city of Suceava is a large forest with a path that winds its way into it. This is the hunting place of the nobles of Suceava, ordinary people are not allowed to enter, it is a birdsong and a fox, a badger flies, and it is very lively.

It's just that these five people didn't want to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides, and they lined up to bury their heads in the road, and they followed the marks left by the stalkers for more than half a day, and Archbishop Joseph suddenly frowned and said: "This is strange, I have been to the three monasteries in the Dagan Mountains, and I have never taken this remote path." Zio and Yulinia thought about it for a while, but they didn't have a clue, so the four of them had to continue walking. The forest became more and more cloudy, the mountains on both sides were tilting, and there was only a line of gap in the narrow place and even in the sky, and there was no trace at all, only the leaves covering the road were faintly visible the horses' hooves scattered, which could be seen that the Grand Duke's horse team had stepped on.

Suddenly, the bushes on the side of the road were swept to both sides, and a man flashed out of them. Zio was startled and drew his long sword with a "swish", but was stopped by Joseph. It was a small man with a dark face and a pair of large bare feet covered with dirt. When he saw Archbishop Joseph, he knelt down and kissed his feet, and then said, "My lord, the Grand Duke's procession stopped at a valley mouth in front of him. Archbishop Joseph said, "Why did they stop?" The man said: "The villain saw the Grand Duke walking towards the valley alone, but the dozen or so personal soldiers stayed at the mouth of the valley to guard, and the little ones were not easy to follow. Archbishop Joseph said, "You have done a good job, so go back the way you came, lest wolves and leopards come out at night and hurt people." The man kissed the instep of his foot again, bowed to the three behind him, and hurried away.

Archbishop Joseph smiled and said, "Come on, teach you juniors today what it means to ride alone into the camp." With a flick of the reins, he grabbed the horse's belly with his legs and rushed forward. The dozen or so soldiers guarding the mouth of the valley saw that this place was deep into the mountain col, remote and uninhabited, and they were careless, but suddenly heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, and saw that the famous Thunderbolt Fire Archbishop suddenly urged the horse to rush over, and they were all shocked. Archbishop Joseph rushed to the mouth of the valley and almost trampled down the guards in front of several horses, and he did not dismount, but shouted directly to the soldiers and asked, "Is the Grand Duke going in?" One of the soldiers stepped forward and said: "Exactly, the Grand Duke said that he was restless, and that he should go into the valley to meditate and pray, and not let the idlers disturb him." Joseph said angrily: "Let your mother's fart! This seat is the archbishop of Moldova, if the archduke wants to pray, how can he get this seat less, get out of the way!"

Archbishop Joseph swaggered into the valley, followed by Segolena, Augustine, Zio, and Yulinia. As soon as I entered the valley, there was a strange smell of medicine, and the deeper I went, the stronger the smell became. Yulinia frowned, holding the reins in one hand and covering her nose with the other, as if unbearable. Zio handed her handkerchief, and she hesitated, but took it. The archbishop sniffed vigorously, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Weird, weird, I can only smell the smell of mandrake and gold chain flowers, and the rest of the medicinal materials that can't be smelled are no less than a dozen flavors, is there a pharmacy hidden in this valley?"

This valley into the valley is quite narrow, gravel everywhere, the mountains on both sides are leaning on each other, strange rocks are craggy, like two roofs that have not been jointed, only a line of sky above the head. There were many cones on the ground, like the nail boards used in religious inquisitions, and they all stood sharp and sharp, like demonic claws. The horses were afraid of being pierced four hooves, and it was extremely difficult to move forward one step at a time. They saw a red horse standing motionless in front of them, and when they saw the gilded bridle, they knew that it was the Grand Duke's mount, so they had to learn from the Grand Duke to let go of the horse and walk instead, going around the cones of the protrusion. After walking less than 100 steps, it suddenly became clear that the end of this cone valley was actually an open valley basin. Archbishop Joseph made a silent gesture and silently pasted Segolena. Augustine, Zio, and Yulinia lacked skill, so they could only follow far behind, for fear of making any noise.

The middle of this basin collapsed, the four outer ring mountains were uplifted, except for an entrance, there was no other way out, and the remaining three mountain walls were flat as mirrors, and there was no place to climb and borrow, like a cage. In the middle of the basin was set up a huge black round-bellied crucible, with a crescent moon on the side of the pot, and the bottom was full of money, and the pot was boiling with some kind of yellow-green liquid, which was tumbling and churning, and it turned out that the smell was wafting from here. Scattered around the crucible were various medicinal herbs, ores, iron ingots and lead, and some animal bone residues. On the three sides of the flat mountain wall, I don't know who wrote many numbers and graphics with charcoal, which was extremely messy and scribbled and difficult to read. In one corner of the basin, there is also a straw bed, on which a stone pillow is made, and dozens of old and thick books are stacked next to the pillow. There is also a small earthen bag in the opposite corner, which looks like a tomb, and there is a stone tablet in front of it, on which there is no word, only a fleur-de-lis is engraved.

The whole basin is like a small monastery in the open air, and everyone knows the meaning of "monastery" in the letter.

Alexandru was standing in front of the cauldron, and the pot was boiling so loudly that he didn't hear Joseph and the others approaching. With great difficulty, the dying old man lifted a stirring spoon with a round head, tapped the rim of the crucible, and exclaimed, "My son, come out to meet your poor father." "The cauldron was still boiling, and there was no sound.

Archbishop Joseph snapped the knuckles of his fingers, made a rattling sound, and whispered angrily: "Bah, it turned out to be a lowly alchemist!" Segolena had also heard the monk mention that the alchemist was a cult of Europa, who was secretive and obedient, good at the fusion of matter and elements, and devoted his life to "turning stones into gold" and "immortality". Because this sect blasphemes the Creator, it is not tolerated by the Holy See in previous dynasties, but the kings of all countries oppose it openly, but secretly they all want it, and it has become a public nuisance for everyone in the European martial arts because its power has risen over the years.

The Grand Duke struck the rod three more times, and the boiling in the pot stopped abruptly, and a hoarse voice came from the pot: "Father, you are not enjoying your family in Suceava, what is the purpose of coming to my burrow?" The Grand Duke smiled bitterly and replied in French: "People say that father and son have no feud, why bother not even seeing each other?" After a moment of silence, I saw the sound of water hitting each other, and a person with a full body "swooped" jumped out of the liquid medicine and fell down to the Grand Duke. This man had been soaked in the liquid medicine for many years, his hair, beard, and brows had fallen out, and a face full of wrinkles and sickly face, he looked a little older than the Grand Duke. He was extremely thin, with ribs visible on his chest, but his lower abdomen bulging high, which was extremely uncoordinated. Segolena thought to himself that this was Bogdan, the illegitimate son of Archduke Alessandro.

Bogdan rolled his eyelids, ignored the Grand Duke, walked back to the straw bed, picked up a tattered towel, wiped his body, covered himself with a black silk robe, and turned around and said, "Father, you can say it." The Grand Duke felt that the heat of the crucible was really unbearable, so he walked away a few steps, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said slowly: "Lu Xiumaku was killed the day before yesterday. Bogdan paused for a moment, and then said lightly: "The deacon is kind to me, and he is also my friend, you don't have to ask for it, I will avenge him." The Grand Duke couldn't help but ask, "If I were killed, would you take action, son?" Bogdan mocked: "Father, you have three sons, and you are the king of a country, where is it my turn to be a lowly man to be filial." The Grand Duke was still trying to distinguish, but Bogdan cut him off and said, "Father, you have a golden body, and the death of a mere deacon, how can you come to me in person, there must be something else?"

The Grand Duke couldn't help but be annoyed by his ridicule, and said, "Do you know who killed Luciumarcus?" Bogdan said: "The deacon has always acted practically, and naturally there are those who are hypocritical and righteous who hate him for being immoral, and there are many enemies. Archbishop Joseph, Zio, and Yulinia heard it nearby, and they were all ashamed. The Grand Duke walked up to him, put down the stirring spoon, and sighed, "It's the Hermit, he's back." When Bogdan heard the name of the hermit, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but be fierce: "This old horseman is really a thief!" The Grand Duke told the story of what had happened recently, but the details were slightly different from the truth, and in his mouth it became that Luciusmaku went to the Ottoman army with his retinue, was attacked by the hermit, and finally died in battle, and the entourage fled back to the city of Suceava to report the news.

Bogdan listened as he took out a few Yellow Pill from a pocket that he had refined, put it in his mouth and chewed it, his face slightly faded blue. Seeing this, the Grand Duke hurriedly said with concern: "After so many years, how has your injury recovered, and now does he have a chance of winning?" Bogdan grinned and laughed, laughing like a copper file and iron: "I have been living here for fifteen years, and you have not been willing to greet me about my illness until today, father, which really touches me inexplicably." The Grand Duke was so embarrassed that he rubbed his hands and didn't know how to respond. Bogdan said: "Thanks to Luciu's monthly timely delivery of firewood and medicines, I have washed the marrow with medicinal liquid every day for the past fifteen years, plus the secret recipe in alchemy, the external injury has been healed by seventy percent, but it is just ......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly slapped the crucible, the body of the pot did not move, but the yellow-green liquid in the pot suddenly rose and poured towards the stone cone where Segolena was lurking.

Archbishop Joseph was taken aback, he was confident that he could easily do it by hitting the pot to vibrate the water, but it was extremely difficult to control the boiling water in the pot like a finger. Seeing the sudden change, he shook his arms and waved a magic robe in front of the five people, and happened to be splashed by the liquid medicine. Yulinia and Zio were frightened, if the boiling water splashed on their faces, it would be disfiguring at least and scalding to death, and they didn't know what poison was hidden in the yellow, green water.

Bogdan said coldly: "Get out of here if you eavesdrop!" The five of them knew that their bodies were exposed, and they got up and stepped into the basin one after another. When the Grand Duke saw Archbishop Joseph, he was first alarmed, and then said angrily: "Bishop, you are secretly following me, it is too presumptuous!" Archbishop Joseph shook the robe, still draped it over his body, and said in Greek: "The Grand Duke, your words and deeds are not untrue, do you still want to hide from this seat? This seat does not want to oppose you, but only for the sake of the city of Suceava, how can you ruin the lives of the people of the whole city because of your disgrace." God is virtuous, God has eyes, don't you still understand?" These words were so righteous and awe-inspiring that the Grand Duke was speechless, and Archbishop Joseph said to Bogdan: "You are the illegitimate son of the Grand Duke? He knew that this man was an alchemist, and he didn't like it in his tone. Bogdan ignored it, looked at the four of them back and forth, and still said to the Grand Duke in French: "These five people already know about my Xingzang, and they must be killed, what do you think, father?" The Grand Duke was quite hesitant: "Joseph is the archbishop of the country, and the man and the woman are all disciples of the Sventovites, so they cannot be ......" Bogdan said: "In this case, kill the blonde boy first, so as to set an example!"

He was supposed to speak to the Grand Duke, but suddenly he pointed at Segolena. How could Segolena think that this person was so perverse and would kill him without asking for a reason, he was very angry in his heart, and he didn't dodge, but also stretched out a finger to rush away. The two fingers countered each other, and the slightest touch was retreated, and both of them were shocked. Segolena was surprised that this person's tricks were extremely clever, but the internal force was very strange, just now he had felt that Bogdan's internal strength was empty, although it was strong and unmatched, but it was male but not thick, if he encountered an equal opponent to hedge with internal force, the thick momentum would collapse; Bogdan thought that this kind of yellow-headed boy could be killed with one blow, but he didn't expect that the opponent's internal strength was extremely abundant, and it was the kind of opponent he didn't want to face the enemy the most, so he hurriedly staggered his fingers, so as not to compete with him for internal strength, and his belly was swollen and trembling.

Bogdan's face turned pale, and he asked the Grand Duke: "How many people have been such a number one in Moldova?" How did the Grand Duke know that Segolena was fine, and it was difficult to speak, Archbishop Joseph drew a cross and said proudly: "He is a disciple of the Holy See, although he is not in agreement with my Greek Orthodox Church, but the heart of serving God is one." Yulinia didn't know why, but when Zio heard this, he suddenly thought of Segolena's apostle, and couldn't help but glance at his little sister. Bogdan changed his Moldovan language to the bishop and said, "It turned out that you were from the Holy See, and you came to judge the alchemists?"

Archbishop Joseph said: "If I see a cult like you in normal times, I will not sit idly by. It's just that today's situation is special, so I won't worry about you for the time being. "This Segolena brother is the one Luciusmaku entrusted with on his deathbed, and he also escaped from the hermit. His words are much more credible than those of the Grand Duke. When Bogdan heard the hermit's name, he couldn't help but look at Segolena and wondered, "You are so young that you can escape from the hermit's hands?" Segolena finally had the opportunity to practice French since he left the valley, so he described the hermit's appearance, voice, and style, and Bogdan bowed his head and said, "Yes, it is indeed him, he has not changed in the past fifteen years." What is his martial arts now?" Segolena also elaborated on how the hermit abducted Lu Xiu Maku, how he chased after him, how the hermit captured everyone, and how Lu Xiu Maku sacrificed, and said with a wry smile at the end: "Don't say that to measure the depth of his martial arts, I just forced him to use both hands. If it weren't for the deacons, I would have died there. ”

Bogdan seemed reluctant to talk to him more in French, so he said lightly in Moldovan language: "What you say is true, although your kid's internal strength is strange, he still lacks some tempering, and he is still far from fighting him." The deacon has the golden finger I taught him, and he can fight with it. Yulinia interjected angrily: "You didn't even dare to answer a finger of Segolena just now, and you are so angry, so you are not ashamed!" Bogdan's nails flicked, and a wisp of green liquid flew to Yulenia's neck, and her delicate and soft white neck suddenly became dark blue, so itchy that she screamed in fright. Zio, Segolena, and Bishop Joseph were furious, thinking that he had used some strange poison, and Bogdan said: "The little girl interjects indiscriminately, and it is time to teach her a lesson." "The nail flicked again, but this time it was a wisp of white liquid, still splashed on the neck, and the itching pain decreased slightly, but the black green was still there. Bogdan said: "Which of you helps her use her internal force to revitalize the blood veins of the double **, and the medicinal liquid that seeps into the skin will be dissolved in the Kidney Balance Palace." This is nothing more than the residue of my healing, and it is not toxic. Zio didn't dare to ask more, so he immediately pressed Yulinia to the ground, crossed his legs and put his hands against hers, and used his strength to force the liquid. Archbishop Joseph clenched his fists, glared and shouted: "You are so bold, you actually love to use this evil method in front of this seat!" Bogdan proudly said: "What evil method is, it is just the application of the law of material integration." How can you ordinary people comprehend the wonders of my alchemy? ”

Seeing that Yulinia was not in any danger, Archbishop Joseph turned to the Grand Duke and said, "You had better tell the origin of this person, otherwise the consequences will be worrying when the hermit comes." Alexandru's complexion changed abruptly, and he gradually leaned his back against the mountain wall, as if in great pain. Seeing this, Bogdan couldn't help but look up to the sky and smiled: "Father, father, I didn't expect you to be kind all your life, but now you are very loyal." He wrapped his black robe tightly and said to the crowd in a hoarse voice: "My father has always been cowardly, and let me tell the outsiders what this Grand Duke, who is known as 'the good man,' has done. He changed the Greek language so that everyone present could understand it, and the Grand Duke listened to his son's words, and simply closed his eyes, as if on a torture rack, waiting for the slaughter.

Bogdan swallowed another pill and said slowly: "My mother's real name is Catherine de Valois, and she is the daughter of the Marquis de Poitou, a descendant of the royal family of Valois, France, and the cousin of the madman Charles. In the year 1382 A.D., the Plumbs revolted in Paris, and the court was overturned, and my grandfather was killed by a mob. The mother fled Paris overnight and ran all the way east, determined to avoid the disaster in Eastern Europe. Three years later, my mother finally arrived in Moldova, and happened to meet Alexandru, a noble young man from the Musat family, who was my father. Thanks to his many cares, my mother was grateful, so she promised her. My father deceived my mother, only saying that he was strict with his identity, and it was inconvenient to marry him immediately, so he had to wait for some time. A year later, she gave birth to a son, and it was me. When my father arrived, he still pushed ......"

At this time, the Grand Duke interjected: "It's not that I don't want to marry Catherine, it's really the times that persecute me. Bogdan said angrily, "Shut up, or I'll poison you." The Grand Duke had no choice but to shrink into the corner, and Bogdan continued: "This push has been pushed for a full fourteen years. I was already weak at that time, and I still knew that my father was just talking and deceiving, and my mother was still introspective. In the 1400th year of the Yahr calendar, the Grand Duke of Moldova died, and my father and five brothers fought for power. ”

Archbishop Joseph said: "What is your mother's ability to influence the political situation in Moldova?" Bogdan sneered: "Alchemy was originally popular in the courts of various countries, and my mother was very talented, and she had already learned thaumaturgy when she was in France, why not? She first poisoned my father's two brothers, and then went to neighboring Wallachia, and willingly lured her body, so that Michar, the Grand Duke of Navalachia, sent troops to help, defeated the other two brothers, and finally helped my father sit on the throne. She thought that she would be able to live with him for the rest of her life, but she could not imagine that the ungrateful person would dislike my mother's own affair with her husband! Poor my mother's anger, she still could not bear to hurt his life, so she left Suceava and took me to live in seclusion in a nearby monastery, and only taught me some martial arts and alchemy on weekdays, hoping that one day my father would change his mind, and I would be able to be loyal to him. ”

Speaking of this, Bogdan let out a long sigh, and Aomori's face also showed a little sadness: "If you end your life like this, it's okay." But unexpectedly, my father caused her another terrible disaster, so that I am in the situation I am today. When my mother left France, she carried with her a treasure, the crown of Saint Louis. This crown is unusual in that it was used by Louis IX, a royal saint, whose crown is called the Three Saints, and is made of fragments of the Jerusalem cross, the thorns of the crown of thorns worn by Jesus at the crucifixion, and gold lilies. My father, of course, was well aware of this, and when the Ottoman Turks were overwhelmed by a large army, he went to Wallachia to borrow troops, and promised to be rewarded with the crown of St. Louis. Afterwards, he came to my mother to ask for it, but my mother naturally refused to give it, and the matter was over. Unexpectedly, this news spread far and wide, and was learned by a demon. Segolena said movingly: "Is it a hermit?"

Bogdan said: "The hermit is just his name, no one knows who his surname is—have you heard of the Tarot Blood Alliance?" Everyone shook their heads, and Archbishop Joseph said: "I know that the tarot cards seem to be witches and witches' witch magic props, and there are twenty-two of them in the Great Alke, each with a pattern meaning, but that?" Bogdan said: "Not bad." Although outsiders regard alchemists as a sect, in fact, many of them are separate and loose. Among them, there are twenty-two outstanding masters, who feel that it is better to fight alone than to work together, so they make an alliance with blood, and take Tarot as the name. The people in the Tarot Blood Alliance do not interact with each other on weekdays, and they get together every fifteen years, and if there is a vacancy, another person is elected to fill it, and the number of people is always twenty-two. The Hermit was one of them, and my mother was among them, called the Moon. Pointing to the crescent moon sign branded on the side of the crucible, everyone only said that it was nothing more than an ordinary decoration, and it turned out to have such a meaning.

Bogdan continued: "The hermit somehow learned that my mother owned the Saint-Louis crown, and he coveted it, and he made several unsuccessful demands, and held a grudge. Fifteen years ago, the Hermit would join a few members of the Blood Alliance who were willing to join him in the same vein, and invaded on a large scale. My mother and I resisted desperately, but we were still outnumbered, and my mother asked my father for help. The shameless man said that he had to exchange the crown of Saint-Louis for it, and sent troops to save him. Only Luciumaku, seeing that my mother and son were pitiful, privately mobilized a group of disciples sent by Sventovita to help, but unfortunately it was too late. My mother waited for reinforcements to come, and was seriously injured by the hermit, and I was also hit by the hermit's hand, and my skills were wasted. My mother fought to the death, and forced the hermit to take an oath with a blood covenant, and she would not be able to return to Moldova to claim the crown until she was succeeded by the new moon fifteen years later. The hermit, believing that I had become a waste, did not take it seriously, and said that he would come and take it in the future, and threatened that if I fled, he would slaughter the whole city of Suceava. My mother told me not to kill a city for my own sake, and not to seek revenge on my father. So in the past fifteen years, with the help of Lu Xiumaku, I have been slowly healing with my mother's remains in the hidden valley of this Dagan Mountain, and I don't care about the world. And my father, hehe, was living in the city of Suceava for a long time, enjoying all the blessings, and he was so uncomfortable. ”

After this story was told, Bogdan pressed his hand to his chest, remembering his mother's voice and smile, and there were tears in his eyes. The audience also sighed at why Bogdan and his father only spoke in French, in order to remember his deceased mother. Looking at the negative Grand Duke again, his face was already like ashes, and he was slumped on the ground, panting for breath, as if the old thing weighed more than a thousand gold on his chest, and it was difficult to breathe. Bogdan pointed and said, "Father, the place where you are sitting now is exactly where my mother, Catherine, is buried." When the Grand Duke heard this, he looked down and saw that it was a small grave bag, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly struggled to get up to avoid it, but his legs did not obey the call, but he just kicked again and again, looking extremely embarrassed.

Segolena said: "No wonder the hermit sent people undercover and lobbied the Ottomans to attack, all in order to dig up your tracks so that he could take the crown of Saint Louis." Before Bogdan could reply, a deep voice came from behind the crowd: "What you said is really not bad, Virtuous man. ”

Everyone was shocked, and they turned back one after another, and saw the hermit standing at the mouth of the valley with Mallode and Salohua.
