Chapter 43: Determination
It turns out that the little girl Alyssa, who plays the maid, is also a master of natural magic, and is known as a druid who is good at transforming in the natural magic system of the Long-eared people. www.biquge.info The femme fatale just now can only change her hands, but Alyssa can transform herself into a sabertooth so perfectly, she is definitely a druid master.
After the conversation just now, Meier suddenly realized why Alyssa looked at him like that. He couldn't help but say in a loud voice.
"Hahaha, thank you for letting me know today that there are not only terrible betrayals in the world, but also sincere feelings! Miss Elisa, don't worry about me, please leave first, I will never fall here!"
Just as his heart was stirring, the beautiful and evil elven envoy summoned several giant man-eating flowers again. It seems that they did want to kill them.
"Die, abominable traitor, die, lowly mercenary!" she let out a hissing curse.
Alyssa, who hadn't listened to Meier's escape alone, pounced on the man-eating flowers again, but these high-level magical creatures who had already regarded her as enemies were no longer so easy to deal with, and she was immediately locked in a bitter battle. After seeing all this, Meier improved his occult powers and decided to solve the farce once and for all.
With a terrifying aura all around him, Myer used the control-type horror secret technique to quickly spin his body, and the armor-piercing sword stabbed at the femme fatale like the tip of a drill, and the vines or man-eating flowers were completely unable to resist Myer, and all of them turned into dust under his impact.
In the face of Meyer's powerful attack, the elven envoy still stood still, as if completely ignoring Meyer's actions, but at the moment when Meyer's armor-piercing sword was about to touch her body, he suddenly raised his hands with a cruel smile and slashed at Meyer.
Although his armor-piercing sword pierced through the elven's body, as Myer had expected, and even the powerful force of the rotation cut her off, the body was unaware, and the broken upper body still swung its blade at the close by.
"Don't, sister!"
Hearing the sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh, Myer found that Alyssa's transformed saber-toothed beast had fallen on top of him, and it turned out that she had blocked the deadly attack for Myer, but her own back was deeply sliced by the sharp scythe, and blood gushed out uncontrollably. And the elven's mangled body gradually dissipated.
The wounded sabertooth gradually reverted back to the form of a long-eared maiden, but the blood continued to flow.
She said to Salian very weakly: "Brother Meier, I can't do it anymore, you can go quickly! Sister just used her trick 'Transferring Flowers and Trees', and now she must be very fragile, she is powerless to chase you." ”
Meyer saw that the brilliance in her pupils was fading, and knew that the long-eared girl's life was irretrievable, so he told her.
"Sister Elisa, I'm Myer from Schwartenn who want to propose to you, please promise me!"
The poor girl took Myer's hand with the last of her strength and said, "Oh, how blessed I am! ”
"Tell me where you're from, then?"
"My dear, I know what you think, but your strength is too weak to take revenge. Because the eldest brother, you saved the Grand Duke's son Mark Minus when the organization sent someone to assassinate him, and as a result, the organization lost a lot of money, so this time you sent me and my sister to take revenge on you and restore the reputation of the organization. You don't have to resent your sister anymore, she's actually very pitiful. And this operation fails again, and the organization will definitely go after you even more frantically. ”
Alyssa's voice grew lower.
"Big brother, hurry up and fly away, as long as you will think of me sometimes." ”
As she spoke, Alyssa removed a bracelet from her wrist and placed it in Meier's hand, and at this time, the corner of the long-eared girl's mouth overflowed with blood, and she could no longer speak. Eventually, after a spasm, her hand, which was slightly pale from blood loss, hung down weakly.
Meier felt her heartbeat and gently closed her eyes with his hand.
At this time, the whole house was about to collapse due to the fire, so Salian had to quickly leave the scene with Elisa's body in his arms, and quietly returned to the "Kaiserhoff" guest room.
Yulia and Hilda were amazed at Salian, who had returned with a corpse covered in flames.
"Brother, have you really encountered a trap?"
"Dad, what's the matter with this long-eared corpse?"
Salian told them what had just happened in a deep but firm voice, and told Yulia to freeze Alyssa's body and tell them not to tell anyone about it. His sister and daughter also have deep sympathy for what happened to the unfortunate girl.
"Hilda, I know it's unlikely, but is there a way you can bring her back to life?"
"I'm sorry, Dad. Our Black Dragons are indeed very proficient in magic, but they are only highly accomplished in dark spells, and although the use of necromancy can make her body move again, it is only a soulless shell. Maybe life magic has a way of doing it. ”
"Well, I'll have to save Alyssa's body for the time being. Salian said, looking at the frozen corpse.
"Dad, I can help with this, aren't the dragons very big? In fact, there is also a dimensional space in our body where things can be placed, which is absolutely safe and reliable. ”
"Well, since you're so sure, then please, but be careful, Alyssa is very important to me!"
"I won't mess around with this kind of thing, don't worry!"
As she spoke, Hilda's head suddenly turned into her main form, and then she recited a dragon magic, and Alyssa's body disappeared in an instant.
At night, Salian lay in bed and thought about his next steps.
As a horror knight, he was much stronger than ordinary people, so he would not shed tears, but he had silently sworn in his heart that he would avenge Alyssa and let that femme fatale taste all the torture in the underground chamber of Stlingen Castle. And the organization they talked about, it must not be allowed to exist. So now his main goal is to find the secret organization and destroy it once and for all, in addition to the emperor.
It seems that he is going to go to Maximus to find out the news, and the cause of everything is the attack on him, and according to Max's ability, there should be some clues. Then it was necessary to let Maximus's father, Archduke Joseph, know the intention of his election, which could be done at the same time.
As soon as the matter of Palettina was over, he immediately went to the territory of the Duke of Koenigs, then to Heichengen, and then to Maximinus, with a heavy task and little time.
But Salian's personality is like to rise to the occasion and move towards the goal without wavering. So in the next few days, he still played seriously under the name of Meier, so that those who thought he was injured or depressed could take a good look at the perseverance and courage of the Tutonians. With all the fights over, he is no longer an obscure figure and is considered a rising star.
On the last day, Salian, who changed into plate armor and held a chain hammer, reminded the people of the western part of the empire and on both sides of the Lynn River the feeling of being dominated by the purple pupils of the Terror Knight, except for the opponent hiding in the safe zone, no one else could flee in front of Schwartenen's "cruel black sun", and Anna and Echelin, who did not know the inside story, only felt that Salian was particularly calm today, and under his leadership, the visiting team won a big victory. And Viscount Charles, the captain of the home team, was humiliated again in front of Salian, who had been resting for a whole week and was in an unusual state.
After all the jousting meetings were over, Salian went to the Palatinate Palace to once again express his assistance to the Earl of the Palace, and brought out the two prisoners, whom he had already considered and who were indispensable talents in order to strengthen themselves.
Ready to stop, he ordered Yulia and Hilda to return to Heshingen first, and rented an extra carriage to hold the two prisoners, so that Yulia could take them back to Stlingenburg and hand them over to Moreau to be held in a water prison without having to be tortured. When Salian returns, he will educate them well.
Anna and Acherin, having had enough, also decided to go back with Yulia and stop following Salian.
So in the end it was Salian himself and Miss Witte who went to Schönebeck, the capital of the Duke of Koenigs. Along the way, Miss Witt felt that Salian was very considerate of herself, and the clever girl thought that perhaps some kind of life experience had made him more mature. Despite this, Estfaria's proud and innocent personality prevented her from opening up to Salian like Lorana Ess did.
A week later, the two men arrived at Schönebeck, a quiet city in the forest, full of alchemy workshops, the largest of which was the residence of the Duke of Koenigs.
After announcing their names, the Duke of Koenigs personally greeted Salian and Estherfaria.
In the duke's tastefully decorated parlor, the guests and the host had a cordial conversation. For resource cooperation, for them is actually a formality. The Duke himself had absolutely no objections, and it was a matter of time before he handed over all his territory to Salian, who had no children and no daughters, but in order not to let those pretenders be unfavorable to the heir, he did not even inform Salian himself now, he just put the written will with his notary.
"Virtuous nephew, now that the cooperation has been negotiated, I have something I want to discuss with you. ”
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Miss Werther. The perceptive girl immediately grasped the duke's intentions and withdrew from the parlor under the pretext of the fatigue of the journey.
The Duke then led Salian into his chamber, a small cubicle with a meter-thick wall and a powerful defensive magic array.
"Uncle, you don't have to be polite to me, just say something. ”
"Actually, when I returned to Schönebeck a few days ago, I received a secret letter from the Duke of Kirzen. ”
Salian respectfully took the letter from the duke's hand and read it carefully. This letter, like the one addressed to the Earl of the Palace, is full of cleverly conceived and powerful words. It should be said that the Duke of Kerzen had a staff officer with a high level of literary literacy.
And it is not difficult to see between the lines that the Duke of Kerzen is indeed planning for the struggle for the throne and has been premeditated for a long time.
Unlike the letter which Salian had seen before, which complimented the Count of the Imperial Palace, the one he had now spoke in the most sincere tone of the Duke of Kerzen's own wish to ascend to the throne for the benefit of the Empire, and promised the Duke of Koenigs that all the ecclesiastical lands near the forest would be given to the Duke of Koenigs in the future, as long as he voted for him.
