Twenty miles away, Duke Asla's field legion was building a large castle to sweep away his territory as he had destroyed Duke Jesu.

Unless you dare to go out and fight with him, you can only watch everything happen.

This is really an effective method, if you don't go out to the rescue, other cities won't be able to resist the royal army at all.

If they go out by themselves, will they be the opponents of the field army of the Duke of Asla? They will destroy the army they have prepared in the port in half a day. That army was originally prepared for the invasion of Rhode Island.

"Father. ”

A voice sounded behind him, and Archduke Merrithin was in a cold sweat.

"Syndicate?"

"It's me, what, you're worried about Duke Asla's affairs again?" The young mage, his figure came out of the darkness, his bright red magic robes, swaying without wind.

"Yes, the port is completely annihilated, and this time, we have no reinforcements. "The voice of the Grand Duke of Merrifax was empty, as if it had drained the soul.

The syndicate's gray-green eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and he said to Merifin: "Father, I'll go and rescue the soldiers." ”

"Where?" asked Archduke Merrifin.

"Rodriguez Academy. ”

"The Nine Academies will not intervene in this war, and besides, the Rodriguez Academy is still in the division of the space barrier, and you can't enter it at all. ”

"Rodriguez Academy, there's a secret branch, and I know people over there. The syndicate said softly, "They are not bound by the unspoken rules of the Nine Academies, as long as their father shows enough sincerity, they will help." ”

"Enough sincerity?"

"Before, we weren't dukes, and we were still able to stand for a thousand years because we had three artifacts in our family, right?"

"Pseudo-artifact. ”

"It's also equivalent to a demigod artifact, in the hands of the family bloodline mage. If they can exert their strength, they will naturally not worry about the war of Duke Asla. I estimate that the bloodline mage is no longer able to exert the power of the three artifacts, so it is better to take out one and ask the people from the Rodriguez Academy to take action. ”

Grand Duke Merifin hesitated, the three artifacts of the family are all pseudo-artifacts, but their value is still huge.

The problem is that as the son said, the bloodline mage of the family is no longer able to urge these three artifacts. That's why Asla's army invaded, and he was at a loss.

"Which one, then, would be better?" asked Archduke Merrifin, in a low voice.

The family is going to be destroyed, and if you have an artifact or something, of course you can give up one.

"Just send out the Eye of Deception, which was created by killing the fox beast god back then. ”

"Eye of Deception......" Archduke Merriphon thought to himself, this is the most important of the three artifacts.

"If my father is reluctant, forget it. The three artifacts of our family are not too much of a secret. Rodriguez Academy, has always been willing to befriend us, is it because of something else?" the syndicate sneered.

Archduke Merrifen was embarrassed, the family had indeed always had a good relationship with the Rodriguez Academy.

The other party maintains this relationship, I'm afraid it's just so that one day, he can rightfully accept his family artifact, right?

These three artifacts were obtained by the Merifin family when they rose to prominence and fought with aliens, and each of them represented the glory of the family.

Under the laws of the Empire, even if the Merifin family did not have the strength it had back then, no one would come to rob it.

However, if you take the initiative to send it away, no one will be able to say anything.

The relationship is good, and if you want to send an artifact to ask for help, of course, the first one is to find Rodriguez.

"Really, so calculating......" said Archduke Merrifin.

"Of course it's a good calculation, father, do we have any other choice?" the syndicate smiled grimly, but Archduke Merriphon could not see his expression at all.

"Do you need anything else?" asked Archduke Merrichn.

"Of course you don't need anything, an artifact is enough to please Rodriguez's people. But I want a batch of Magic Rough Stones, and I want to buy the scrolls from Rodriguez's side. We are going to face war, Duke Asra has his own academy, and the number of scrolls accumulated over the years must be very terrifying. ”

"Okay, I'll give you permission, you can go to the family's warehouse and get it. Just invite someone from Rodriguez. ”

"Don't worry, my father, I'll be back in three days. The syndicate's smile disappeared into the darkness as if it had never been there.

Archduke Merriffin was much more relaxed, as if all his troubles had disappeared.

He didn't know when the token he treasured in his hand had been handed over to the syndicate, as if all this was taken for granted, he didn't even think about it.

In the camp outside the port, Xia He personally sat in the camp and blockaded it to prevent legendary mages from other forces from approaching and seeing through the truth.

When sensing the approach of a strong man, Xia He remained silent, alone, and with a flicker, he came to the outside of the camp and blocked the way.

The young mage looked at Xia He and went up and down for a while before saluting and saying, "Duke Asla, I'm glad to meet you." ”

"Who are you?" Xia He frowned as he looked at the magician in the blood-red robe in front of him.

"I'm a syndicate, and you may not have heard of it, but my father, the Grand Duke of Merrifin, was the one you forced to no return. ”

"Oh, what are you doing to me?"

"I hope the Duke can give him a way to live. The syndicate said seriously.

"A way to live? I'm not going to kill them all. ”

"However, the Merriffin family's signboard can't fall, I still have to inherit it. "The syndicate is easy to say.

In Xia He's heart, a feeling of disgust was born, not for this sentence, but for his attitude.

"What price are you willing to pay?"

"The Merriffin family, there are three artifacts, and I can give two of them to His Excellency the Duke. ”

"And then?"

"It is up to me to succeed to the throne of Archduke Merrithin and to owe my allegiance to you. The territory of the Merrich family is open to you, and you can choose the number of people within the range, and it is all yours. Also, the world commanded by the Merrich family is also yours. ”

"You're still the nominal ruler?"

"That's right. ”

"Why?"

"Because, we're not rivals. The syndicate pointed to the ruins of the harbor in the distance and said, "It is no longer an attack that can be resisted by manpower, and it is better to choose surrender than to perish." I know that the Duke is not a man who likes to kill everything, and will definitely give the Merriffin family a way to live. ”

"Leave the artifact, go back and kill the Grand Duke Merifin, I accept your surrender. Xia He said lightly.

"I can't do such a thing as killing my father. ”

"No, I don't worry about you, Syndicate. Xia He's voice became colder and colder.

The syndicate was silent for a moment, then said, "Then I'll reluctantly make it difficult, let's try." ”

"Is it difficult for you?" Xia He asked.

"Of course it's difficult, Lord Duke, you don't think I'm the kind of person who loses his conscience, do you?"

"The coldness in you is the most terrible one I have ever seen, so I wonder what is so difficult for you to kill the Grand Duke of Merrifin?"

"Because, even those who are in hell yearn for heaven in their hearts. Your Excellency, I killed your father for you today, and in the future, I may betray you for others. That's not what you want, right?"

Xia He looked at the face of the syndicate, this young mage, his face was full of sincerity, and it looked as transparent as pure glass, without hypocrisy.

However, his essence made Xia He's heart not only disgusted, but also worried.

It is the indescribable rejection of the Taoist priest, the instinct, even if he can't understand it, he must stay away from it, or eliminate it.

You will never need the loyalty of the Syndicate, and you must not have loyalty.

Such a person would rather be an enemy.

Xia He made a judgment in his heart, and said: "I promise you to keep the inheritance of the Merifin family, and you can replace the Grand Duke Merriffin and inherit his title." Offer two artifacts, open your world coordinates, and all the resources in your family's territory must be open to me. ”

"So, Lord Duke, does the main city still need to be attacked?"

"When the Grand Duke of Merriphon dies, there is no need, but you yourself bring his head to me. ”

"Well, as you wish. The syndicate bent down, saluted, took two things, and put them on the ground, not afraid of Xia He's remorse, and turned away.

Xia He waved his hand, put away the two artifacts, and asked, "What do you think?"

Medirri's voice sounded behind her, and she was there all the time.

"Teacher, this person should be killed immediately, I feel that under the demigod, no one is his opponent. ”

"It doesn't feel right, but it's about the same, because he's equipped with the Eye of Deception of the Merriffin family. The legendary mage under the demigod can barely lock him. If there is a fight, the demigods can suppress him, and it will be difficult to say that the legend is even higher, even if the level is higher than him. ”

"His level, can he drive artifacts?"

"It's just a pseudo-artifact, if you give it to me, I can use it now, but it's a pity that the price is huge. Xia He stroked the two things in his hand and said, "He gave me these two artifacts, but he didn't have a good heart." But ......"

Xia He couldn't help laughing, he didn't know how to use any artifact at all, at most, let the starry sky worm devour and decompose, and obtain the raw materials to build the artifact.

Taoist priest, how can it be possible to use ready-made equipment, or someone who sent it inexplicably.

"The two of us, just made a move, we will definitely be able to keep him. Medirli said.

"It's hard to say, forget it, anyway, he will come back to me, otherwise what would Archduke Merrifin do?"

"Next time, he may not actually come. With the Eye of Fraud, there is so much that can be done. ”

"The three artifacts come from the same source, next time, the Eye of Deception will be meaningless to me, rest assured, soon, our legendary mages will be able to deal with similar abilities. ”

Xia He looked at the direction in which the syndicate disappeared and said nonchalantly.

Medirri stopped talking, for her, the Syndicate was not a problem, but she was worried that the Syndicate would deal with someone else.

The Duke has a big business, and if the Syndicate tosses it and uses the artifact, it will not be easy to deal with it.
