"Well, I didn't lie to you. A woman's voice sounded faintly in the darkness.

Barn used his mental power to probe and found that there was no one else around except him and the old butler's breath, and after such a move just now, the power in the ring seemed to have faded a lot.

"Who the hell are you? What is your purpose in asking me to wear this ring again and again? And this ghost hand, I can feel that this ghost hand is not an ordinary Kazan plague, the power in it is very pure, and where do you get such pure ghost power. You must know that since the whereabouts of the first generation of ghost god Kazan are unknown, there has been no pure ghost and god power on this continent. Barn threw out all the questions in his mind.

The woman in the darkness was silent for a moment, then sighed, "You don't need to know that much, the power in this ring is enough to keep Emily alive for a year without being affected by the aging curse. I'll tell you how to get rid of Emily's curse in a year's time, but before that happens, you'll have to do one thing for me. ”

A year?

Barn was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "What's the matter?"

"The time has not yet come, and when the time comes, I will naturally tell you. ”

After saying this, the woman's voice disappeared without a trace, and no matter how much Barn tried to call, it did not appear again.

Looking at Emily, who had gradually recovered in front of him, Barn's heavy heart was relieved for the first time.

"Don't worry, Emily, I'll cure you. ”.

.....

Three days later.

At the gate of the city of Valetalun, Barn was dressed in bright silver armor and greeted Su Yang and the others who were about to return at the city gate. To tell the truth, Xiang Barn, an imperial officer with a mission, would often be impeached by the imperial group of ministers who abandoned the troops he led and returned to the capital early because of his own personal affairs. But now there is an invasion of the dark elves in the south of the empire, and the Bashut family led by Barn is also the pillar of the south of the empire.

What's more, aside from the fact that Barn is the new Grand Duke of the Empire and the head of the Bashut family, the relationship between him and Isabella, the current supreme ruler of the Empire, is enough to stop those civilian officials who want to impeach him.

However, in order to avoid someone taking advantage of the problem, Barn still got in touch with Su Yang, who temporarily replaced him in the leading class, after Emily's situation was alleviated, and when he learned that Su Yang and his party would arrive at Vetaren early this morning, Barn naturally got up early in the morning and came to the city gate to greet Su Yang and others.

Three poles on the sun.

The figures of Su Yang and the others finally appeared in Barn's field of vision.

As soon as he saw his friend, the smile on Barn's face became even bigger, and he walked forward quickly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Su Yang." ”

Su Yang also shook his head with a smile: "You're polite, they're all friends, so there's no need to say this." By the way, how is Emily?

Barn nodded, as for the matter of the mysterious woman and the ring, Barn planned to hide it from Su Yang and the others for the time being, and then find a chance to explain it after he figured out the reason for the matter.

"Let's talk about it later, you can take this to your life first. As he spoke, Su Yang took out a token engraved with the mark of a lion's head from his arms and handed it to Barn, this token was nothing else, it was the talisman of the elite army behind Su Yang.

Seeing the talisman is like seeing Barn himself, which Barn specially explained to his many soldiers before leaving. Now that Su Yang has lived up to Barn's trust and brought these soldiers back, he naturally wants to return this talisman to its original owner.

"Thank you. Bath thanked him again.

Putting aside the exchange between Barn and Su Yang here, at this time, in Caesar's Palace, Isabella, the princess of the prison country, was receiving a special guest.

This guest is especially because he is not a Terran, but a Dark Elf envoy from the Dark Elf family.

After Forrest Gump and Xilan intervened in the war between the Dark Elves and the Caesar Empire, the arrogant Dark Elf Grand Elder Sharpen had to stop the crazy thoughts in his heart and began to face up to the peace proposal put forward by the dark elves of Queen Meia's faction.

Coupled with the death of 100,000 dark elf soldiers, the dark elf clan has a lot of complaints about the great elder Sharplon, after all, the population of the dark elf clan is not large, and the death of 100,000 people at once is a big blow to the entire dark elf clan.

Therefore, under this premise, Queen Maya's envoy Krent came to Vetaron, the capital of Caesar's Empire, with Queen Maya's desire for peace.

It's just that before Krent left, the Great Elder Sharpen put forward two extremely harsh conditions, allowing Krent to bring to the current ruler of Caesar's Empire.

Because of these two harsh conditions, Krent himself felt that his trip to Caesar's empire was probably in vain.

Above the main hall of the Royal Palace.

Krent gracefully bowed to Isabella, who was sitting on the throne, and said, "Krent, the envoy of the dark elves, has seen Her Royal Highness. ”

Isabella nodded without a trace, and said softly: "The envoy is polite, come on, arrange a seat for the envoy." ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness. ”

Clente thanked him and slowly sat down in his seat.

There was a brief silence in the hall.

It took a long time for Krent to take the lead in speaking: "Your Royal Highness, regarding this conflict between our two sides, Queen Meiya of our clan is very sorry..."

Before he finished speaking, one of the ministers of Caesar's empire angrily rebuked: "I'm sorry? This is the end? Do you know how much damage your dark elves have caused to the people of our country, a simple apology is over, how can it be so easy in this world." ”

Krent smiled bitterly when he heard this, before mentioning the conditions of the Great Elder, the people of Caesar's Empire were so excited, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of storm would be caused after he put forward the conditions.

"War is something neither of us wants to see, so this princess is happy to accept Queen Maya's offer of peace. Isabella said kindly.

"Since Her Royal Highness is willing to accept the peace proposal, then Krent will not hide it, and there are two conditions for this truce. ”

"Speak. ”

"First, the reason why our people started the war is because we have been attacked by an unknown plague in Neupera, which is adjacent to our country and your country, and there are investigations that show that this plague is related to your country, so the first condition is that I hope that your country will hand over the culprit who released the plague. Krent said word for word.

"Bastard!

As soon as he finished speaking, the grumpy Caesar minister jumped out and pointed at Krent's nose and cursed.

Krent smiled bitterly in his heart, but remained calm on his face. Seeing this, Isabella did not respond immediately, but just waved her hand and said, "The envoy continues." ”

"Your Highness!"

Many ministers on the side were anxious when they heard this, but all that responded to them was Isabella's slightly shaking hand.

The ministers were silent for a moment, and could only wait patiently for Krent to say the second condition.

"Second, in view of the large number of casualties in this war, the burial of these comrades who died in the war and the bereaved family members are a large expense. ”

"What does the envoy mean by that?"

"What my people mean is to ask your country to bear the cost of this bereavement and to cede to me the three border cities of the southern provinces. ”

Krent finished in one breath, and then closed his eyes slightly, he could predict that he would be greeted next by a storm of many ministers of Caesar's Empire.

To be honest, from the time the Great Elder Sharpland proposed these two conditions, Krent understood that the Great Elder did not really seek peace, but only superficial efforts that he had to do under the pressure of the two Saint Rank peak powerhouses.

But to Kren's surprise, many ministers of the Caesar Empire, including the imperial daughter Isabella, did not attack on the spot, but looked at Krent with a strange look, which made Krent feel uncomfortable.

"I already know the conditions of the nobles, so I will ask the envoy to go down and rest for a while, and then give a response after the daughter of this emperor has discussed with her father. Isabella said slowly.

"Yes. ”

After hearing this, Krent bowed, and under the leadership of two chamberlains, he walked out of the main hall towards the envoy's mansion.

After Krent left, the hall suddenly exploded as if gunpowder had detonated, and the crowd was surging.

"Your Highness, the Dark Elf Clan has put forward such harsh conditions, and it is clear that there is no trace of sincerity, and Wei Chen suggests ignoring their proposals, and if you want to fight, I Caesar Empire is not afraid of anyone. One of the generals spoke.

Although the two factions have always been at odds, their attitudes toward foreign affairs remain the same.

Therefore, after this military general spoke, the civil officials rarely echoed in unison.

Isabella sat on the throne, her fingers lightly clasped on the armrest, and only after the ministers finished discussing did she speak: "The Dark Elf Clan has no sincerity, as the princess of the prison country, I am determined to directly reject their conditions. ”

"Her Royal Highness is wise!"

"But," Isabella said, "if you refuse directly, something will inevitably happen to the border, so I think it is okay to delay for a while, and wait for the legions of the southern provinces to prepare for a new round of fighting." ”

Although many of His Highness's ministers hated the Dark Elves Clan, they still maintained a certain amount of sanity. After thinking about it for a while, he understood Isabella's thoughts, and immediately bowed his hands in unison: "Your Highness, I will wait for you." ”

"Well, since you don't have any objection to this, let's go ahead with it. In addition, send people to the southern provinces to find out the true attitudes of the two adults, Forrest Gump and Xilan. ”

"Yes. ”
