Chapter 338: Carl's Serpent of Evil Order, the surprised Baron, is most afraid of comparison
The next morning, Moriarty returned to his Legion camp, and Hamilton took his farewell. And this time, Moriarty didn't force it anymore, but just handed over a magic sword as a gift. It wasn't the standard Erathia Knight, but it resembled Hamilton's ruined sword.
In this regard, "Lion Heart" did not refuse, but readily thanked and accepted, and then rushed back to Fort Arte.
"Your Excellency, why don't you persuade him to stay, it can be seen that Hamilton has a considerable affection for you."
After sending off the "Lionheart", Clausewitz asked Moriarty in confusion. A knight of the Round Table is a "sought-after item" everywhere, and there should be no hesitation if he can take it over. And the old werewolf is also very impressed with Hamilton, and is considered to be a model of a good soldier.
"Now is not the time."
In response to Old Crow's question, Moriarty just shook his head, but there was no lack of regret.
Yesterday he did want to talk to Hamilton, but after some consideration, he gave up. If he is not completely sure, Moriarty is not willing to destroy his good relationship with the "lion heart". As for solicitation, he just hasn't figured out foolproof chips yet. Once he was decided, Hamilton was "unable to fly".
And after telling the old werewolf the newly agreed "divide things into things" plan with Viscount Salk, the follow-up staff plan was left to the other party to worry about.
At the same time, the Olympian corps began to return to Sosk in batches. And for some reason, Moriarty left himself at the end.
For the time being, there was no disturbance of military and government affairs, and Moriarty was in a closed tent. Take the Dark Gold Serpent Staff out of your pocket and put it in the crystal book.
Immediately, the full face of the snake staff was clearly revealed.
Magic Items: Karl's Serpent of the Evil Order;
Maker: Carl. Castro;
Grade: Treasure;
Quality: Complete (partially sealed);
Content (function): Ordered evil is always stronger than chaotic evil. Any individual who aspires to establish an immortal kingdom of the Dark Order can gain unimaginable power from this "Serpent of Evil Order". Of course, in return, you have to feed this "snake" with your qiē, both physically and mentally. (Due to being partially sealed, the Serpent of the Order is currently only able to channel more of the Dark Force towards the staff bearer)
Note: Started very early. Carl realizes that he is an outlier among the demons. It's like a swan strolling among the ducks. Lions and hyenas are in the company. Karl, who is orderly by nature, dwells in the midst of chaotic demons and feels nothing but trouble and pain. So, when he divorced his demon wife, Maris, he began to try to really face his heart. The way to distinguish it from the Chaos Demon. Combine evil with order. Thereupon. This was the birth of this "snake of evil order". Since then, Karl has said goodbye to the past and called himself only the devil.
"Serpent of Evil Order?"
Read the feedback from the crystal book. Moriarty was silent.
As expected, this dark golden snake staff is indeed a treasure-level item, and the maker is actually one of the heroes of the demon race before the ice apocalypse: Carl. Castro is also the famous "primordial devil".
According to the Magic Books, before Cal, all demon species were chaotic chaotic alien creatures, taking pleasure in killing and devouring flesh, and were more diligent at killing each other. Since Karl, a small number of demons who are naturally rational and orderly can no longer bear this unbearable state, and even call themselves "devils", and at the same time break away from the original system, and form their own faction within the demon race in the greatest way. One of the initiators and leaders was Carl. Castro, and therefore Karl is called the "primordial devil".
After hundreds of years of development, the devil's camp has grown a lot, and it has more and more authority and voice among the divided demons because of the orderly unity. But he didn't expect that Coco Theodori was a member of the devil, and it was no wonder that he would be so cautious and strategic when directing the battle. It is not surprising that the treasure of Karl, the "ancestor of the revolution", was later seized from it.
"The Serpent of the Evil Order can gain more support from the Dark Force, but at the same time, he has to exchange his flesh and soul for the Dark Golden Serpent Staff... Hehe, it's really a 'fair deal' that pays attention to order. ”
When you take the snake staff out of the crystal book and hold it in your hand, you can immediately feel a deep, dark, evil, and seductive dark fluctuation coming from the staff, like a cold air slowly seeping into the skin. Even if Moriarty is also in the realm of physical equipment, but after holding the staff for a long time, he can't help but feel the slightest wisp of darkness emerge from the void and surround it, like an invisible ocean wave, about to completely drown himself.
"Just the sealed treasure has such a power to condense the dark force. If the seal is lifted, I really don't know what 'interesting' things will happen..."
After a few moments of playing, Moriarty reincorporates the Dark Gold Serpent Staff into the Crystal Book. Next, rely on the power of the crystal book to slowly unseal it. It is as if the "Serena's Secret Eye" is being repaired, and it is slowly restored to a complete treasure.
In the afternoon of the same day, Hamilton, riding a fast horse, also returned to Fort Arte.
Since the human coalition army only defeated the demon heavy army under Windsor Castle yesterday, the demons in the entire Kent County are now in a state of shaky restlessness and morale collapse, so all the way back, the "Lion Heart" did not encounter any effective resistance, and just "opened" directly to the city in such a bright and bright way. Even the besieging demons outside Fort Atter didn't even make a move to stop them, but turned a blind eye.
And when he saw his commander return safely, the Ensberg sergeant on the city wall immediately burst into enthusiastic jubilation and cheers.
"What, Hamilton has returned? So fast? When Baron Ensberg received a report from the steward in his study that Hamilton had asked for an audience, he was immediately startled, and then immediately summoned him.
"Moriarty, he won?" When he saw Hamilton, dressed in full uniform, he reflexively guessed the answer.
"Yes, Lord Baron. In this battle of Windsor Castle, our Kent coalition won a complete victory! Hamilton saluted respectfully, then said loudly.
"How can it be so fast?"
Strategic battles are no more than ordinary battles with small fights, not to mention taking a long time, but fighting for a few days and nights is just a common thing. But the just-concluded Battle of Windsor, which took less than 24 hours to complete, is really unbelievable.
As for the baron's questions, Hamilton told him the beginning and end of yesterday's battle.
"What did you say!?"
"Charlie was promoted to the Templar and killed a great demon on the spot!?"
"Morty summoned a powerful elemental realm to resist the 'Dark Horizon'!?"
"You also advanced to the rank of 'Knight of the Round Table' in this battle!?"
One after another astonishing and unbelievable news exploded in Baron Ensberg's ears one after another, so much so that the middle-aged man's exclamations barely stopped in the study.
But there is no doubt that Hamilton does not tell lies, so this qiē is all true.
"Good, Hamilton! In this battle, you slew a Flame Chieftain with your own hands, and you are truly feathered. I have decided that once the siege of Fort Artre is lifted, I will knight you, and I will also give you the estates worthy of your knighthood. ”
Listening to all the battle reports, the baron stood by the window and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said.
Hamilton was stunned at first when he heard such a generous promise from the lord, but he quickly recovered and bowed deeply to the baron, but there was not much actual fluctuation in his heart.
Because after the middle-level promotion to the "Knights of the Round Table", the value is also very different. Now the baron's promise is right, and it can even be said to be "cheap". Take Charlie of the Salk family, for example, who has long been a lord. And a knight position only above the knights can only be said to the current Hamilton.
Seeing Hamilton's essentially calm gaze, Baron Ensberg could only sigh secretly. It's not that he's stingy and mean, and he knows how important a loyal high-ranking warrior is to the family. But the problem is that Ensberg is also going through the trials and pains of a brutal war, not only has it suffered heavy losses in people and property, but also completely shut down foreign caravanserais, and what a heavy blow to Ensberg for a foothold in commerce. Therefore, with the remaining strength of the current family, the baron can only promise such a journey.
As for what Hamilton should be grateful for, even if his "wings are hard" now, he must honestly continue to selflessly obey orders and repay the Lord's family... Even if anyone came up with such a strange idea, I am afraid that the baron himself would scoff at it.
Blindly demanding that subordinates improve their personal morality infinitely, and being stingy with fair material contributions, is a shameless act of stripping and cutting down. In Erathia, where there are many nobles, if any lord dares to do this, all the retainers will run away the next day and vote for the lord.
Of course, the promise of a knight now cannot be said to be small, and Hamilton will not be dissatisfied with it. It's just that he is most afraid of comparison, and when he thinks of Moriarty's sincerity and refreshing "outrageous" style, "Lion Heart" can't help but put his hand on the hilt of the new saber.
"Hamilton, do you think Morty has really attained the Extreme Path?" Not noticing the other man's seemingly ordinary sword-swinging movements, the baron asked.
"Not yet, sir." Hamilton immediately put aside his superfluous thoughts and shook his head: "Although Young Master Moriarty has summoned the realm, he has definitely not reached the level of the Grand Arcanist, there is no doubt about that. I suspect he had some powerful magic item with him. ”
No matter how much the Extremist Dao conceals its own strength, the oppressive power it exudes is very clear, and the "Knights of the Round Table" can clearly perceive it even if they are blind.
"Well, it's true, a twenty-something Grand Arcanist... Hehe—" The baron nodded, chuckling with a natural and faint regret. (To be continued......)
