Chapter 20: Ancestral Relics
The imperial capital, the golden palace.
Empress Isabella was standing in front of the magnificent golden throne wearing a crown, a blood-red gold-pendant court dress, and silver-white riding boots on her feet. She embroidered a gorse on the back of her white gloves, held the scepter in one hand and the code in the other, and her eyes fell on the ministers and knights in front of her, and she said with a majestic face: "Everyone. ”
"Success or failure is here, and the catastrophe of the empire will end today."
"Let's lead the people to a new life!"
A group of ministers, bishops, and knights knelt down on one knee and shouted, "Yes." Her Majesty. ”
Empress Isabella looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Gather the army and prepare to go." ”
"I'm going to drive the expedition!"
Hearing Empress Isabella's words, the ministers and bishops kneeling in the hall couldn't help but look at each other, and the old man in black led by him had a solemn expression, he hesitated for a moment, and finally swallowed back what he wanted to say.
Empress Isabella is brutal by nature, and like the royal family members of previous generations, she has a twisted personality, moodiness, and psychopath, perhaps because she was born with the torture of whispering in the heart, and the royal family members of all generations have serious mental problems. Whether it is the Minister of the Interior or the church faction, although they have secretly worked against the Empress for so many years, they still rarely oppose her head-on on the surface, mainly because they are afraid that she will really go crazy.
You must know that when Empress Isabella first ascended the throne, she found dozens of nobles to be skinned and executed in a row under various names, in order to deter others.
If her unstable psychosis erupted, there was little anyone in the entire palace could do to stop her.
The meeting ended quickly.
As he went out, the Minister of the Interior gave the rest of the group a look, followed by a man dressed as a priest and hurried out of the court.
Empress Isabella wanted to take the royal conquest, and they themselves did not expect this result.
You must know that Her Majesty the Empress has not left the palace for more than thirty years since she ascended the throne. Partly because of her fear of the Assassins, and partly because Empress Isabella did not trust her courtiers, she feared that some of her ill-intentioned courtiers would rebel if she was influenced by psychic whispers.
Why did you choose this time?
Was it her unstable spirit that made her make an impulsive decision? Or is Isabella secretly planning something?
This must be discussed with the church.
Royal Palace, apse.
Empress Isabella, who had returned to the dormitory, had a hint of excitement on her face, and not far behind her, a vague phantage appeared, kneeling down on one knee and saying, "Bishop Hans has just left. ”
"Really?" The corners of Empress Isabella's mouth hooked up a mocking smile, and she said slowly: "This eats something outside the inside." ”
"Keep staring at him."
There were also two female knights beside Empress Isabella, one of whom was the Holy Blood Rose that Su Ziyu had fought against, and she hesitated for a moment in her expression and said softly, "Your Majesty." Are we really going to have a conflict with the church at this time? ”
"I'm worried about ......"
Empress Isabella frowned when she heard this, turned her head and glared at her, and rebuked angrily: "You don't need to think about this matter! ……”
Psionic tremors.
The Holy Blood Rose's face turned pale, her expression was a hint of pain, and she knelt down on one knee with a slightly panicked expression.
"I heard you lost to a mysterious man?" Empress Isabella got up and walked to the mirror, picked up a ruby ring and put it on, and said slowly, "Even the Holy Blood Light Sword has been taken away?" ”
A trace of unwillingness and shame appeared on the face of the Holy Blood Rose, and she bowed her head and said, "The subordinates are incompetent. ”
"The one who can easily defeat you head-on and take away the weapon." Queen Isabella smiled and said, "This king is very interested. ”
"He's supposed to be a level 8 psyker, right?"
"I've never heard of such a strong psyker in those rats of the Resistance."
Hearing this, the Holy Blood Rose bit her lip and said in a low voice, "My subordinates don't know what level of psionic ability he is. The psionic powers he casts are weird. ”
"Possess the power of lightning."
"I can feel that he didn't use all his strength, I'm afraid his psionic level is more than that."
Well?
Hearing the words of the Holy Blood Rose, Empress Isabella frowned, turned her head and said, "You mean? He's also a level 9 psyker? ”
"It can't be."
"Without the transformation of the ancient blood, it is impossible for a mortal to break through the limit of level 8 spiritual energy."
Human talent is not particularly good.
In the original psionic ascension plan, there was also a genetic project of bloodline modification, and only members of the royal family could reach the level of level 8 or above, and other nobles were basically at the limit of about level 7. The empire mainly relies on psionic amplifiers to enhance output, and many of the nobles' explicit psionic fluctuations are the effects of the amplifier's blessing.
The nobles' psionic amplifiers are different, they are all implanted directly into the brain, and they are often transformed when they are teenagers.
The Holy Blood Rose wanted to say that the man might be a level 10 psionic person, but she swallowed the sentence back after thinking about it, because there was no evidence, and the other party's psionic energy fluctuations were also very weird, and when she cast her psionic energy, she directly destroyed a lot of electronic instruments.
The empress only has level 9 psionic power, and that man can't be a level 10 psionic person.
Blood Rose comforted herself.
"Go get ready." Empress Isabella quickly put the matter aside for the time being, and said in a deep voice, "You will also set off with me on this operation. ”
After saying that, she turned around and entered the apse directly.
The taciturn middle-aged nun suddenly appeared and followed Empress Isabella, only to see her expression hesitate and say, "Your Majesty." Are you going to use them? ”
"Hmm." Empress Isabella nodded and said, "This operation can only succeed and not fail." ”
A hidden superalloy gate slowly opens.
Behind Empress Isabella's bedroom, there is actually an independent secret room, the outer layer is shrouded in a layer of ghostly power field, and in the center is a strange six-pointed star altar, all the furnishings here are incompatible with the decoration outside, revealing a dark and strange atmosphere.
On either side of the wall are reliefs of Krakens, Werewolves, Bloods, and Demons, a broken clown mask with a pompous smile on the right shelf, and a black horn on the left that exudes chaos. There are also some ancient relics in the corner, they have existed for a long time, so old that even Empress Isabella does not know their origins, only that the royal family members have kept them as much as possible, they are the relics of the ancestors. The four corners were filled with an unquenchable blue flame, and in the center was a round golden vessel with a dark red substance inside, above which was suspended a very unique dark gold crown and a scepter with a scepter-like tip inlaid with brilliant gems.
