Chapter 246: Reactions from all sides

The strange thing is that the vampires behind the Duchy of Virginy, the Heschet family, a promising viscount who died in battle, did not react at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the power of the Ten Commandments of the Blood Clan, the other families would not risk provocation and war without permission, and reach out to their fellow clans who are proficient in scarlet alchemy and preserve the Bloodstone.

As for the Heschet family, they are now taking care of themselves, and Viscount Manning, who had hoped to be promoted to the first rank, died halfway through, and suddenly a flying castle was vacated, attracting the attention of all the second-class viscounts who thought they were qualified to inherit, as well as the barons with slightly higher blood purity.

A flying castle means a ticket to the night capital of the outer realms between the stars and the sea, and whether or not the Southern Duchy and the Undead Empire can gain the hegemony of the West continent is the most suitable way out.

Now that the Night City is nearing completion, the forty-eight airports for the Flying Castle have been completed, the base of the castle is in reserve for the thrusters, and the platform for repairing the damaged Void Navigation is ready, and the relevant personnel are still screening and screening.

In order to guard against possible void creatures, the only marquis "Red Queen" Camilla has been stationed to preside over the search for the elemental plane, re-determine the space-time coordinates and make a large space-time anchor, to ensure that the night floating between the stars and the sea will not be blown away by the void storm.

For various reasons, the parties could not take the time to clean up the orc expeditionary legion, but the main culprit who killed Manning Heschet was shrouded in fog and could not be identified.

Neither the Elven Master's prophecy nor the Eye of Knowing Crystal Ball kept by the Lich, nor even the Bloodline Oath Prison unique to the Mellon family could reveal the true nature of this person.

In particular, the secret method of the Bloodline, with the help of personal belongings, was shocked to find that all traces of Manning Heschet's existence had been erased by a large invisible hand, and it had disappeared completely.

As a stalwart of the vampire viscount, each of them is very valuable, after all, it is included in the title sequence, especially when he was killed in battle while rescuing human allies in the performance of his duties, and even attracted the attention of the half-sleeping "Grand Duke" Emmondin who opened up the night capital.

But it was just a matter of paying attention, raising his heavy eyelids and taking a look, continuing to struggle with the sleepiness of burnout. The uncrowned king, who was at the apex of the Bloodline's power system, had just celebrated his thousandth birthday, and the blood source in his body was almost exhausted, and his extremely tired body would not even allow him to leave the secret and safe sleep of the dead.

The Heschet family is still fighting over the extra inheritance of the Flying Castle, forgetting the death and blood of Viscount Manning, they are too arrogant and self-righteous.

The former slave laborers, the orcs who were captured from the Black Continent, broke out of control and began to rebel against the former slave owners. The human allies of the Duchy of Virginie have been torn off a large piece of flesh by the vengeful claws, and the wounds are constantly bleeding.

The order of day and night has suffered for the first time in a hundred years, and it is not comparable to the inheritance of a flying castle, and the various factions of the family are trading and playing games secretly, in order to fight for their own interests, intentionally or unintentionally ignoring the overall situation at hand.

Hearing about the disputes of the Heschet family through relevant channels, Archduke Virginini did not dare to show resentment, after all, he had the eyes of the blood clan around him, and he had been infiltrating for decades, and he did not dare to guarantee that the people around him were loyal subjects, not two-faced people with two salaries.

The supply line of war readiness materials is too important, and once it is cut off or even destroyed, the morale of the border corps is bound to drop heavily.

The Grand Duke was originally going to send troops to kill him immediately, but unfortunately there were too many unpredictable surprises that could happen during the night march, and it was raining lightly outside, so it was not going to stop in a short time.

For the first time, he was worried about the poor state of traffic in the principality, which was dominated by mountains and hills, but unfortunately the annual budget was smashed into the military machinery factory, and the main transportation arteries were paved with gravel roads, and most of the money squeezed out of his teeth was divided among the subcontracted builders.

If you don't feed this group of moths, there will be restraining opposition everywhere, but the power is not small, so you can't do anything.

Every time the Grand Duke of Virginie, who knew the drawbacks, wanted to clean it up, he knocked out the flies that the big men pushed out to send them to death, but they jumped the ground the most happily, cutting stubble after stubble, and there was always an endless stream of people coming to die.

Alone in his study, Archduke Virgini pulled out a book from the bookshelf as usual and flipped through it, thinking about countermeasures with both uses, when suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred to him, and he felt that the orc legion that infiltrated the territory and a terrifying figure who could kill the vampire viscount head-on were a sharp double-edged sword from a certain point of view.

"Close the door, release the loyal hounds, drive the cunning foxes to run without stopping, borrow their minions to tear the rotten sacs of the lodge, squeeze out the poisonous juice inside, and then cut it with the flow. ”

As long as the hematopoietic mechanism is still there, for the sake of long-term interests, some losses can be bearable, and no matter how bad it is, the Heschet family will enter the field to control.

Secretly formulating a general strategy, but there was not the slightest emotion on his face, the pressure on the Archduke Virgini from the omnipotent blood clan was not an ordinary heavy, if it weren't for the worry about the eyes that might exist around him, he would not have used a knightly novel to pass the difficult time.

Viscount Manning Heschet was killed in battle, the whereabouts of the Grand Duke's in-law Legni Cambert were unknown, and the inhabitants hiding in the darkness came out to breathe on a rainy night with lightning and thunder.

Not only the low-level vampire knights, but even the blood "babies" and blood knight apprentices who did not have the talent to transform into bats and smoke all poured out of their hideouts, and searched all over the mountains and fields in the cold autumn rain.

In the quiet and peaceful necropolis of Lemon City, the capital of the duchy, the Lich Master specializing in alchemy is busy experimenting with steel golems that can be used with bloodstone, and creating a loyal direct army for his friend Archduke Virginie, of course, all expenses are covered by the Grand Duke's own small treasury, which may be the main reason for his tirelessness.

However, the master alchemist had to interrupt his experiments with no hope of success because of an unexpected visitor.

Changing into a black silk robe as thin as smoke, he pasted the artist's mask on his face, and the skull with red light from the orbital bones was covered by a wriggling strange object, extending to the back of the head, the top of the head, and the chin of the chin were puffed up and filled with pale skin, and eyebrows, beards, and hair were gradually generated.

Standing in the mirror imported from Vinick, the pearl of the Edri Business Alliance in the Falling Star Sea, I found that my face had returned to its pre-transformation appearance, and I couldn't help but admire my peers from afar.

His guest was an extraordinary warrior with the power of elephant throwing, nearly ninety years old, his physical strength was still at his peak, and his topaz-textured skin was full of surging vitality, and there was no trace of the twilight of entering the twilight of life.

"There is still no breakthrough in the 100 days of penance, and the bell that is approaching the end of life can still be heard! Friend, I think this is the last time we will meet. ”

Seventy years of friendship made the lich feel a little embarrassed, but in the face of a just death, even alchemists could not do anything.

"Perhaps...... Maybe ......"

The lich hesitated to continue, but the transcendent warrior's mind was extremely keen, and he easily understood his friend's thoughts, and he shook his head lightly, "Unless the legendary Majesty Emmondine, even the Earl can't bear my blood." ”

"How about Camilla's kiss of the roses, I've been dealing with her since the turbulent years of the old days, and if I can sell my love out, she'll be willing to lend a hand. ”

"Forget it! The promotion to Marquis in name only allows her to have a proper identity when she is in charge of presiding over the Night Capital of the Outlands, and Camilla's source and essence is at most a senior earl, and she can't bear the bloodline I ignited. ”

The lich didn't say a word, then nodded lightly with some sigh: "After all, you are a descendant of the Lord of Dawn, and ordinary legends are not your opponents, let alone the earls of the blood clan. Despite their outward rhetoric and boasting of being a human legend, we all know that it was just a smoke bomb to cover up. ”

"Sixty-nine counts, three marquises, one grand duke, seventy-three legends!

The transcendent warrior couldn't help but shake his head, when he was young, he was against the blood clan, except for the Grand Duke Emmondin, who never made a move, no one was an opponent.

The current Principality of Virgini's Sword Bay can be separated from the control of the major powers, and the transcendent status of not paying taxes and sending troops depends on his prestige and protection, and it is not for nothing that he is called the Lord of Sword Bay by the top powers in the south.

"Recently, some old friends who live in seclusion have come to the door, as well as the messengers of the zodiac, who seem to want to pull me in, and I know what they think, but I just don't want to pay attention to it. ”

"The legend of the chief knight of the Western Soils is true! not only did he get Odin Thunder Hammer, but he also set off this wave of elemental tides, and I am afraid that the prophecy of the Tablet of Fate will fall on him. I really want to let go of the fight again!"

Hearing this, the lich finally showed a strange smile, and the artist's mask covering his face was able to vividly simulate complex muscle movements, which moved Dimitenis, the lord of Sword Bay, slightly.

"Lord Aldrich Triss, I assume he is now in the Duchy of Virginie!"

The descendant of the divine blood of the Lord of Dawn snorted imperceptibly in his nose, "In other words, Baron Tris, who is currently staying in the Western Soil, is a fake! It is unreasonable to be able to deceive the eyes of the masters of Yaba...... How did you find out?"

The lich reached out and took out a fist-sized black crystal ball from his sleeve, "Eyes of Knowledge! At the beginning of last year, I began to pay attention to the western soil of the originally barren land, the customs union composed of scattered lords, the war bonds, and the war in the North Sea for commercial interests. ”

"As for now, in the Cumbert Territory of the Duchy of Virginy, a human who has slew the viscount vampire of the Heschet family has suddenly appeared, and the eye of truth cannot see through it, do you think there is anyone else besides Lord Aldrich Triss?"

Dimitnis shook his head slightly, "Thor's hammer is still in the Western Soil! Besides, the Eye of True Knowledge is not omnipotent, and since the ignition of the bloodline, you are not unable to see through my strength." ”

"The two are completely different! Searching with the eye of true knowledge, although it is impossible to see your weaknesses, strengths, or traits, can see your presence, at least the daily trajectory can always be revealed. As for that one, I can't see it at all!"

Lord of Sword Bay sat up slightly straighter, "All of a sudden, I'm interested in taking a trip. Cumbert Territory in the northwest of the Duchy of Virginie...... It is two hundred and forty-seven kilometers away from the capital of the principality in a straight line. ”

It was still raining outside the cemetery, and there was no sign of stopping, not to mention the long-distance running, not to mention the physical exhaustion, and the fact that there was no heyday to fight, it was definitely a pity, after all, the opponent was the Grand Knight of the Eight Virtues.

"Forget it, let's start tomorrow, now I just want to catch up with my friends and have another drink." ”
