Principality of Vlad Kimir.

Council Hall of the House of Elders.

Grand Duke Vlad Kimir sat on his throne in the middle of the hall, and the elders of the House of Elders also sat in two rows.

This is the first meeting of elders of the Vlad Kimir family in nearly two decades to hold a red convocation. And this red summoning order is the highest level of emergency meetings that only exist during the war of the principality.

The fact that the Grand Duke and the Grand Elder jointly issued such a summoning order shows that the situation is extremely serious. The emergency of the Red Summoning Order can already reach the level of full preparedness of the entire principality.

The hall was silent, and the elders did not say a word. And the Great Elder Raul looked at Soraka standing in the hall, his face extremely solemn.

And Soraka stood quietly, and his color was unusually respectful.

He knew the gravity of the situation, and he also knew that the Great Elder and the Grand Duke were thinking about countermeasures. Although he was the deputy commander of the Bloody Guard, he was still the first person to receive information, but he still didn't have the right to make decisions on many things, especially such a big thing.

There was silence all the time, and no one dared to speak first. They all looked at the Grand Duke, as if waiting for his decision.

The Grand Duke's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked into the distance outside the hall window.

He seemed to be immersed in thought, and the look on his face was very serious.

As the minutes ticked by, the hall was still as still as water.

After another moment, the Grand Duke let out a leisurely sigh.

He loosened his stiff neck and looked at Soraka.

"Soraka. ”

The Grand Duke spoke, finally breaking the slightly tense atmosphere of silence.

"You're the first to get the news, what do you think about that?"

Soraka bowed slightly, and the look of respect on his face grew stronger.

"Lord Duke, in my opinion, this is not a good thing, and we must prepare for the worst. ”

"Oh?"

Grand Duke Vlad Kimir tilted his head slightly, and there was a lot of curiosity between his eyebrows.

"Tell me what you think. ”

Soraka straightened up, then said in a deep voice,

"The Holy Light Inquisition suddenly sent people to Black Rock City to communicate with the Dark Curtain, and also sent three Holy Deacons to communicate, which shows that the matter between them is definitely not a trivial matter, at least it must be a problem that can only be solved at the earl level. ”

As soon as these words came out, the elders were in an uproar.

And the Grand Duke also squinted, and his tight skin was not soothed in the slightest.

The Holy Light Judgment and the Dark Curtain are the largest forces among the two empires of the Dark Light Continent. They are of equal strength, the only difference is that the Holy Light Judgment allegiates to the Holy Emperor and is the direct force of the Holy Emperor. And the dark curtain is the civil force of the Dark Empire, which neither obeys the orders of the Demon Emperor, nor is it loyal to the Dark Continent.

Although this Shadow has never participated in the dispute between the two empires, the Chief Deacon of the Shadow has announced his position to the public.

He once said that if the world is peaceful, the dark curtain will not participate in any disputes and related matters between the two empires. But if the battle of the empire is together, then the dark curtain will unconditionally help the dark empire, and it has reached a state of balance of power between the two empires.

This is very clever, because they know that only when the two countries have a balance of power, the war will not start, and they can maintain their power in peace.

After a moment of silence, Grand Duke Vlad Kimir nodded.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and then said calmly,

"I naturally know this, I want to hear what you say, 'it's not a good thing', what is the basis for it. ”

"There is no definite information or evidence. ”

Soraka's brows tightened slightly, and then he said softly,

"However, the Holy Light Judgment has nothing to do with the dark curtain, and this time the three Holy Deacons suddenly came to the door, and I think it has the intention of making friends. You must know that the Empire of Light was able to sign a peace treaty with my Empire of Darkness, and this dark curtain also played a part in it. After all, if our Dark Empire didn't have a dark curtain, the combat power of the high-level would be much lower than that of the Light Empire. Therefore, it is definitely not a good thing for the Holy Light Inquisition to come into contact with the Dark Veil. ”

Each of the three Holy Deacons mentioned in Soraka's mouth was an eighth-order powerhouse of light power at the earl level. The three of them collectively went out to contact the dark curtain, which can be described as full of sincerity. And the things they want to connect with each other are definitely not trivial.

If the Dark Veil is allowed to collude with the Light Judgment, then the Dark Empire is in danger. The hundred-year-old peace of this dark light continent may also be broken.

If the Dark Empire suffers a devastating blow, how can the Principality of Vladkimir stay out of it?

The Grand Duke nodded approvingly.

"Yes, you're right. But there's still something I haven't figured out. ”

Soraka's expression froze slightly.

"Your Excellency, please advise. ”

The Grand Duke frowned.

"The three deacons of the Holy Light, why did they disguise themselves and go to the small Black Rock City?"

Standing up, the Grand Duke looked at Elder Raul.

"They are in contact with the dark curtain, could it be that they have something to do with Li Yanbei in the dark curtain?"

"Not necessarily. ”

Grand Elder Raul pinched his beard lightly and nodded slowly.

"Although Li Yanbei has a lot of fame, it is only the strength of the seventh order after all. If the three Holy Light Deacons went to Black Rock City to make contact with that Li Yanbei, they would still be a little too exalted to him. ”

With a gleam in his eyes, Raul said in a deep voice,

"I suspect their real purpose is to meet with the higher-ups of the Shadows, and Black Rock is just a place they chose to avoid being discovered. ”

"It's very likely. ”

Grand Duke Vlad Kimir touched his chin.

"It's really not easy to find a small city like Blackstone. ”

Seeing that the Grand Duke and the Great Elder were both in a deep groan, Soraka said cautiously,

"Lord Duke, Elder, what should we do?"

The Grand Elder and the Grand Duke looked at each other, and then spoke,

"Inform the strong people above the marquis level in the principality to enter a state of war, and be ready to deal with unknown changes at any time. ”

Soraka bowed and replied,

"Yes. ”

The Grand Duke hesitated for a moment, and then spoke,

"Inform Viscount Roy to return to Hearthstone for the time being. ”

Soraka was slightly stunned, then glanced at Raul with a sneak glance.

I saw that Raul heard Roy's name, and an extremely impatient expression suddenly appeared on his face.

He waved his hand, and then said in a strange way,

"The Duke has said it, you just do it. It's a waste, but it's also the blood of my Vlad Kimir family. ”

Hearing the word 'waste', the Grand Duke's sword eyebrows stood slightly, and his face showed a slight anger.

But when he thought that the situation was critical now, he really couldn't cause more trouble, so he slowly suppressed the anger in his heart.

Seeing that although the Grand Duke's face had changed, he did not say anything to refute it, the Great Elder raised his eyebrows, and his eyes flashed with disdain.

He knew that the Grand Duke would not argue with him now over such a trivial matter as words, after all, the Duke had such a big event.

With a chuckle, Raul said slowly,

"Let Fiona come back too, and bring back the Fire Bat Mark by the way. ”

"Fire Bat Print?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Soraka, but all the elders present changed their faces.

"How is the Fire Bat Mark in Fiona's hands?"

Soraka looked surprised.

"That's one of the only three low-level holy relics in the Duchy, how could it be taken out of Hearthstone?"

The Grand Duke on the side turned pale, but he didn't say a word.

And Grand Elder Raul pursed his lips and said contemptuously,

"Naturally, the Grand Duke broke the rules in order to save the life of our Viscount Roy, otherwise who would dare to do such a thing?"

......

Li Yanbei looked at the death note in his hand, and only felt that his head was slightly confused.

He looked at the blank paper that had been empty since his age, and suddenly he was stunned on the spot.

"This ......"

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva fiercely, Li Yanbei looked at Asmodeus in surprise.

"What's going on?"

Blinking, Li Yanbei said with an innocent face,

"Could it be that this note is broken?"

"Even if your brain is bad, it won't be bad. ”

Demon Asmodeus sneered,

"Viscount Roy, please explain, why you only have a name and title on the Death Note, and everything else is blank. ”

The red eyes stared at Li Yanbei, and Asmodeus seemed to have suddenly become very interested in him.

"I guess you can give me a perfect explanation. ”

"I'm sorry, Demon-sama. ”

Looking at Asmodeus, who was not good-looking, Li Yanbei shrugged helplessly.

"How can I explain a question that you can't explain?"

Hearing this, Asmodeus' eyes suddenly sank.

And Li Yanbei looked at the demon whose face was getting worse and worse, and casually threw the death note back.

"I can't explain it, but I think there's something else I'm interested in. ”

"Oh?"

Asmodeus' sunken eyes glared at him, as if he had suddenly become interested.

"What's the matter?"

Li Yanbei smiled bitterly.

"Demon-sama. ”

"Do you like to listen to stories?"
