Chapter 749: The Court (2)

As for what happened here with Afra and Lucie, Kerribben and Cremar did not know for the time being. They were at the top of the Arrow Peak, thousands of feet away, by the side of the future Emperor of Falun - who had been recommended by the lord of the town to include Adel and Eloch, but for some reason, the Emperor hated the priest very much, and as for Eloch, he was deliberately drunk to avoid the final selection, after all, there were Lucieu and Afra, although the latter did not seem to need his care. As for Kerriben and Cremar, after they had met the Emperor, the Emperor was quite kind to them, and he was a very generous man, or rather, everyone who walked out of his hall received a gift. But it can be seen that Cremar and a few dragonborn warlocks have received a lot of preferential treatment, as if because the emperor himself is also a dragonborn, and he maintains an absolute favor for the descendants of any kind of dragon.

Cremar's current name used to belong to a Warlock of Grenada, and he watched the young man being devoured by the mad red dragon Gredy, so he didn't feel any trepidation when he replaced him, and all he had to do was change the color of his sclera slightly, after all, the fact that Kremar's master was a rare double black had been known to many people.

"Do you feel anything?" asked Kerryben, "about the Emperor?"

"No," replied Cremar, "if I had to say yes, it would be that I was ...... It's uncomfortable, if you describe it, it's what the White Tower's An Rui looks like after it has increased a hundredfold. ”

"It seems that this is another unfortunate creation. Kerriben said, and then he saw Cremar nodding in agreement, and the black-haired Dragonborn was walking around the room assigned to him - the Emperor's gift just made up for what he was missing, well, he was building an arm armor for Kerryben - their lies were not yet exposed at once when they were surrounded by mercenaries and unsuspecting mages, but at the top of the Arrow Peak, the Emperor's side, there didn't seem to be a shortage of powerful spellcasters, so their methods were more subtle and complete. Cremar's dimensional pouch was not missing the most important accessories, he said, part of the demon, when he took out the stump, the soul of the other world shrank slightly, but unexpectedly, it did not feel sick, uncomfortable, or even a little nostalgic because it remembered the many delicacies it enjoyed in the bottomless abyss. Ah, speaking of which, maybe before it even thinks it is, it's almost broken.

And it is still thinking of returning to its own plane as a mortal, mind and essence, and going on with its life quietly and happily as a mediocre beingβ€”is it ridiculous?But to this day, it still holds on to the faint hope, even if it knows that it has made irreversible changes, but it doesn't matter, a weak person cannot disguise himself as a strong one, but a strong person can disguise himself as a weak oneβ€” Maybe it can also play with some of the tricks it has learned here to make its life a little more colorful.

"It's ...... Part of the Temptation?" Kerry could have interrupted its thoughts at the right time.

"His arm. "The soul of the other world said that his dimensional bag was full of kinds and resources, and almost all the varieties of demons and devils could have a place in it. When they felt that they needed a false identity, the souls and lichs of the other world decided to use the demons as a cover, after all, the souls of the other world had been working for the demon lord Grazter for the first fifty years, and they were quite famous on the battlefield of bloody battles, and they were also favored by the six-fingered king, in case their origins were questioned, then Cremar could also summon creatures of the abyss to prove their lies, of course, as they feared, the devil would definitely take the opportunity to do something, but the demon might just do something.

"The Enchanters are a species of demons who are willing to trade with humans, and they have many opportunities to appear on the main material plane, and there are many opportunities for female warlocks with humans** - this arm can be said to be a relic left by some great mother. "The soul of the other world said that the seduction demon is a high-level demon, but whether it is a demon or a devil, there are not many people who suffer in the hands of humans, and the demons need a hundred years to be summoned again after the main material plane is exterminated, so a female warlock can give birth to a demon child, and it is not impossible to pass on the bloodline, and the warlock often makes the demons, the stumps of the devil into armor, weapons, and even directly on their own bodies, in order to obtain powerful magic.

However, the soul of the other world wants to make a set of arm armor for Kerryben because the elven ranger does not have the smell and power of the demon, and if he happens to meet a warlock with an exceptionally sensitive nose and knows them (the current identity), it is very likely that there will be a direct mistake - there are two pairs of arms of the seductive demon, and the shoulder position is like a crab claw, yes, it has been eaten by Cremar in a hot pot boiled in green onion and ginger water, and the arm that sticks out from the chest position is much smaller, only four fingers, but the fingers also have curved hooks. Cremar kept the hook and removed the muscles and bones inside, sewed the demon's skin together with the dragon skin, and used the dragon skin (real dragon skin) to keep out the evil aura of the abyss, starting from the upper arm and ending with six rune-engraved bands on the lower arm, also to prevent the wearer from being confused and devoured - as it is not uncommon for the demon's flesh to remain active after many years.

Kerry had tried the arm, and it was unexpectedly soft and elastic, not hindering his movements at all, but the cold and dirty feeling hovering above made the elf uncomfortable.

When the spirit of the other world saw it, it helped him remove the armarm, "Put it on when you need to go out," it brought a box, "I usually put it in it, and no one notices." ”

Kerry wanted to say something, but he was silent, and the abrupt change in identity and cognition was not only for Cremar himself, but also for the Elven Ranger - when he met Cremar, the soul of the other world was somewhat biased towards naΓ―ve children because of his lack of memory, and Kerry almost treated it as a child, after all, for an elf, a nineteen-year-old half-elf can only be said to be a baby. But then, he learns that Cremar is a lich of atonement, and according to his records in Grenada, he is at least three hundred years old, perhaps still a little younger than Kerryben, but he has also crossed the lifespan that three generations of humans can hold, and then, as Afra said, another soul, a human, has been an adult for a while, so continuing to treat it as a child is no longer forgiving but humiliating, and Kerry must adjust his mindset - at least from the meticulous "dad" type to " The type of "mentor" or "companion".

This made Kerry be more cautious about his friends on the other plane, but when he repeated what he was going to say in his mind a few times and tried to get to know each other better, an Emperor's attendant suddenly came to Cremar's door, and he brought the Emperor's order to get to his side as soon as possible.

"Looks like I'm going to get back to my room soon. "Maybe I'll get the same order," he said. ”

Kerryben's speculation was correct, as soon as he returned to the room, he saw frowning frowns, waiting anxiously, they were all the so-called lords, lords, grand dukes and kings everywhere, but they were never trusted by the emperor, the appearance of these newcomers made them envious and jealous, and they were uncontrollably irritable, and comical and rude contempt, and seized every opportunity he could find to embarrass them, for example, this time he thought he had found a good opportunity, but before he began to yell, Kerry grabbed him and lifted him up, "Put" to the side of the corridor, the eerie aura from the arm armor that he had already put on suddenly made the noisy crow silent, and when he looked again, he even had no strength to stand, and fell to the ground limply unable to move.

"Do you need me to do me a favor and drop him down?" asked the "knight" in the other room maliciously, "maybe he'll give you trouble." ”

"How do you find it?" Kerry Ben just went back to the room and picked up his long knife, "Starlight" and "Silver Crown" are the second symbols of Elf Ranger Kerryben, fortunately the elves are never short of weapons, he changed to a long knife of pure gold, although it is a little bit unsuitable, but maybe it is only relative to "Starlight", "Silver Crown": "Strangled me with his tongue?"

"Maybe it really can," the "knight", who had been just a mercenary leader, took the opportunity to approach Kerryben's side, "His tongue may be a little longer than a woman, shall we try to drag it out?"

"Next time. Kerriben said perfunctorily: "The emperor is waiting for us." ”

The former leader of the mercenaries tried to get closer, but he retreated, the darkness and evil that swirled around his armarmor made his whole body creep, and his talisman was faintly hot.

The emperor sat on his throne, and as the call for the revival of the law grew, some loyal people gathered around him, and the abandoned temple was renovated, but it was almost impossible to restore the glory of the silver dragon period, after all, the ancient silver dragon owned an entire empire at that time, and every gold coin, every person, and every thought in the empire was at his service, and even the gods had to take a back seat- But from the perspective of human beings, especially those from humble backgrounds, the sight in front of them is enough for them to marvel at- The current hall, whether it is the zenith, the walls and the floor, the defects have been replaced, the throne is covered with a soft and rich red carpet, between the beams and columns are hung velvet drapery, and the walls are covered with silk carpets depicting silver dragons and empires, they are obviously hastily worked, and the sharp-eyed person can detect the roughness in them, but in this way, they are quite colorful and colorful.

And the people in the hall began to dense, the attendants and maids had been driven to the end, and the emperor's "knights" were crowded together, because they wore the same robe and chain mail, and they looked a little powerful, but those who were accustomed to observation only had to look at them to find that they were actually divided in groups of three or five, because of the emperor's authority, and the hope for the future, these lawless thugs could barely endure it, and only used their eyes and sneers to whip what they considered despicableβ€” There had been fights and injuries to the point of murder by the Dark Sun Priests, but the Emperor drove them out as soon as he found out.

In addition to the "knights", the so-called "courtiers" who are dedicated enough, and have a lot of exploitation, each wearing a beautiful robe, full of spirit, they are constantly exchanging heads, but they are much more careful than the "knights".

Neither the knights nor the ministers, there was not much awe in their eyes for the emperor, perhaps for them, the emperor was just an investment, they were not bowing to him, but to the gold coins, the realm and the crown, the emperor seemed to be respectful, but if he could not give them what they wanted, these guys would pounce on him like hungry hyenas and tear him to pieces.

The Emperor may have known this, too, but it seemed to Kerriben and Cremar that he had strange confidence in himself, as if he had not only the blood of a silver dragon, but a true ancient silver dragon.

He was surrounded by mages and warlocks, and Kerryben found his little friend at once, Cremar nodded to him, the position of the black-haired dragonborn was very close to the Emperor, and it seemed that the Emperor's trust in him was not ordinary - Kerry had also asked Camemar, and he couldn't find the reason, the lich could only think that it was the affinity of the otherworldly soul at work, "People always like stupid things," he said harshly, "because it doesn't hurt them." ”

"Dear Aiqing," said the Emperor, "I have summoned you only to be here with me to admire," and he said, "a very rare and magnificent sight, which I think you will never forget, and even describe it to your sons, grandsons, and all your descendants, and write it down in papers and tapestries, and be proud of it." ”

The whispering voice suddenly became louder, but the emperor didn't mind, he just waved his hand.

The wind was heard firstβ€”on the peaks of the Arrows, the wind never went away, especially in the halls that connected the seven open covered bridges, but the previously regular sound of the wind suddenly became confused, and the wind weakened, but the wind seemed to be blowing from everywhere.

One of the ministers was the first to exclaim, for he saw a golden eye with a pitch-black vertical line in its pupil, which quickly vanished, replaced by dark black scales.

"Dragon!" someone shouted.

Some of them had seen dragons, some had not, but no one had seen more dragons than they had seenβ€”not for at least a thousand years.

The dragons flew out of the clouds, and after a few weeks of circling, they folded their wings and landed on the long lookout, crowded like a flock of sparrows on reeds.
