"There's a reason why I didn't find a way to go to your world alone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Well, what do you mean by that?" asked Salian curiously.

"I am a protocreature of hell, and I can survive in this place full of necromancy, but when I reach your main plane, without abundant energy support, I will wither and die in three days. ”

"Yes, I understand that, otherwise the powerful beings of other planes would have taken over our world long ago. The reason why the so-called gods or demons cannot stay for a long time is that there are not enough resources to support their consumption, or the speed of supply cannot keep up with the speed of consumption. ”

"Yes, so I have discussed it with Master Gulundal, and I will wait in Hell for him to find a suitable container for me. ”

"What container?"

"A primary-plane creature with an excellent affinity for nature. I can use my innate ability to take over the creature's body, and with it, I can have the ability to move freely in your world. ”

"It's a clever move! It's a backdoor listing. Then let me think of a way for you instead of Master Gurundal. ”

Salian suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his thoughts, and thought of a way to kill two birds with one stone.

"You said it doesn't matter what kind of creature it is, right?"

"Oh, of course, the more advanced the better! at least vertebrates. ”

"That's no problem, I have an excellent candidate, an elven envoy of the Long-eared Clan, whose natural talent I have personally learned, and who can directly transform into various plants, I think this should meet your requirements. ”

"Ah, that's great!"

Naturally, Sarian was referring to Kovanni, who had a vendetta against his wife, and it was indeed a good idea to let her be robbed of her body by a terrible plant from hell and live forever as a puppet. It avenged himself and gave Vigli a body that was convenient for his activities.

"But the only problem is that I can't grasp this person's actions, and I need to wait for the right moment. ”

The giant eye that was spinning from side to side replied conceitedly, "As a wise man, I have also thought of this in the years I have been waiting for Master Gulundal. Hehe, it finally made me think of a way, in fact, I can transform into a demon seed form that reduces consumption, originally this is a means of self-protection when I am threatened by a strong threat, and using it in the main plane can probably allow me to last enough for a year, as long as you meet the right target and implant me in her body, I will wake up naturally. ”

Salian said unhurriedly: "Well, then it's no problem, if it doesn't work out within a year, I'll send you back to replenish your energy, what do you think?"

Vigli was pleasantly surprised: "Haha, you even think about it for me!"

In this way, under the watchful eyes of Salian and Teresa, Vigri's body gradually shrunk and merged, and finally became a dark green seed covered in thick folds, but this seed unique to hell was the size of Schwartenn's ripe apple. Salian stepped forward and put the heavy seed in his arms. He would inflict it on his enemies as part of Salian's torture, and I don't know how the femme fatale would have felt if she knew that her future suffering had been given to Salian.

Then, relying on the blessing of the hellish environment, Teresa easily infused the huge necromantic mana into the Ring of the Giant Mouth again, and the power generated by it successfully returned them to the main material plane.

The moment he stepped onto the continent, Salian still felt the weight in his arms, and he knew that everything was going according to plan.

"Teresa, our trip today is not a special secret, but it is better not to talk about the things in Vigli. ”

"Understood, Salian. Originally, Teresa obeyed her employer's words, and after their relationship sublimated, she no longer had her own opinions.

After a week of leisurely life, Salian and his party bid farewell to the two prime ministers and returned to Schwartenen with the sword master Yaza, and now all they had to do was to wait for the Imperial Election Conference to be held.

On the way back, the clever mercenary Meier rode alone to lead the team in order to attract an ambush, and his life was a threat to some, but unfortunately the opponent may not have been fully prepared until he entered Heixingen's own territory, and he did not attack at all.

Now that his duties as a guard had been completed, Baron Weldon, who had returned with him, returned to New Mark with the Frontier Legions, where they would hone their skills and prepare for the inevitable conflict. It was a good experience.

In the study, which had not been there for a long time, Salian and Morrow carefully sorted out the gains of this long trip.

"Uncle Moreau, the efforts of the past few months have not been in vain, and our faction should be able to have an advantage in the votes of the Imperial Elector. ”

In order to make it easier to understand the unique method of electing emperors in the Divine Grace Empire, let's also popularize the composition of the Imperial Elector Council when Salian and Moro are negotiating.

Among the members of the empire who have the right to vote, the first is the major princes, which are composed of secular nobles like Salian, archbishops, bishops, heads of the three knights, and other ecclesiastical princes, all of whom have one vote. The second is the Earl's Council, which is composed of the functional earls of the Emperor and the Imperial Earls according to the territorial principle, and the whole empire is divided into nine regions, each with one vote. The third part is the Convent of the Fried, the Abbot of the Convent, the Presiding Priest of the Cathedral, and the High Priests' Council, which, like the Earl's Council, is divided into nine districts, with one vote for each district.

These are all the members of the Empire who can vote, a total of 80 votes, and only a majority of them can be elected. Other minor lords do not have the right to vote for Imperial Cities, but they can attend meetings.

Moreau, who was familiar with the imperial electoral system, analyzed for Salian: "Young master, in the current form, we can get about thirty votes, while the Earl of the Imperial Palace can get twenty votes with the support of the clergy, and the Duke of Corzen has twenty-five. I think that through two rounds of voting and the final money and status pull, we should have no problem with a majority of the votes!"

"I think for the Earl of the Imperial Palace, who has a weak intelligence system, he is still dreaming of being an emperor!? The biggest rival to guard against is the Duke of Corzen and the Ruger family behind him, if he fails to elect the emperor, he will inevitably start a civil war, and the duke also has a strong foreign aid to the Kingdom of Gniezno. ”

"Yes, young master, but as long as we are united, we can gather enough strength to defeat the allies of Duke Korzen and Gniezno. ”

"Well, I'm not too worried about the election of the emperor this time, the biggest problem is that the direction of the empire after Grand Duke Joseph ascended the throne is worthy of my careful consideration. Using the power I have in my hands to strengthen the power of the empire is the most important thing!"

"Young Master, I've briefly sorted out my target. There are two main ones, one is that the 'Soulless' knights you have established must be well developed, and with her, she can control a large proportion of independent small lords within the empire, and this force should not be underestimated. ”

"Yes, that's what I thought. ”

"Second, it is necessary to focus the construction of the territory on the territory of Neumak Krai, Heixingen is in the hinterland of the empire, and there are enemies on all sides, according to you, young master, a major incident is brewing in the southern Mars Mountains that are close to us, which is very likely to have a bad impact on Schwartenn. ”

"That being said, this is the birthplace of my Hohenstelingen family, and I can't bear to give up!"

"The vast northeast of the empire is too important to us, and in order for your descendants to ascend to the throne one day, the development of the new mark is absolutely necessary. ”

Salian, who had been hesitant, was immediately persuaded by this vision.

"Well, I understand, I immediately wrote to Estheralia and asked her to build the ordnance factory directly in the Neumark Territory, in a location of her choice!"

Then they discussed many difficult issues, and it took Salian a week to get things done. Since then, the Hohenstlingen family has finally been transformed from Imperial Knights to Counts of the Borderlands!

In the midst of his busy schedule, Salian still found time to go to Constance and exchanged the staff Baron Weldon obtained during his trip for the Adventurers' Guild's mission bonus. And also brought back some materials from the "Iron Shield" workshop, which he needed to digest the latest drawings he had received from the Reich's Prime Minister, Duke Wiither. This is not a wholesale imitation, but a partial reference.

During this time, Salian continued to write secret letters and kept in touch with various parties. In his spare time, he devoted himself to the improvement of the magic gun during the day, and continued to teach the kitten Aphroa various special skills of the control and protective horror knights, and now he is no longer needed for swordsmanship teaching. Aphroya's younger brother is also in stable condition (relying on Hilda's means), allowing her to study without distractions. On the other hand, Teresa, commissioned by Sallian, carefully studies the secrets of the beam metal, and strives to return Elisa's soul as soon as possible.

Not long after, the Grand Master of the "Knights of the Absolute Soul", the Count of the Reedlingen Empire, was invited by his secret letter to come to Hexingen as a guest.

They talked for a day and a night in the conference room under the castle, and neither of them knew what they were plotting for. It was only the Imperial Count, who had been invited to visit, who was in a good mood after the meeting, that he stayed for many more days in Heichengen, and that Salian accompanied him on a tour of the places of interest in Schwartenn. At the same time, under the trend of competitiveness, they are all famous control horror knights of the empire, and they have tried several times in a row.

The two of them were fully armed and entangled from land to sky, from the mastery of weapon skills to the manipulation of terrifying secret arts. It can be said that the killing is indistinguishable, and no one can have the upper hand.

Finally, the brilliant battle between Salian "Black Sun the Cruel" and Sebastian "The Soul Reager" also attracted the attention of many in the castle. Needless to say, Aphroa saw it as a rare opportunity to gain knowledge. Teresa and Yulia, on the other hand, are more of a hilarious look.

"Yulia, now the battle between Salian and Grand Master is like two telekinetic masters wearing plate armor fighting!"

"Yes, Teresa, the strength of the two of them is almost the same, and it has been two hours since they used the power of the telephoto to fight for this broomstick, and today's cleaning is in vain!"

"Aphroya, we're going to dinner, are you going?"

"I'm not going, it's the most tense time, just help me bring something to eat!"

Then the two girls finished their lunch, and when they came to the jousting arena again with Aphroya's dry food, they found that the two horror knights had reached the final moment of the decisive victory, and the broom had been squeezed and twisted to look like an umbrella that had been used for decades. Yulia thought she would have to go to Constance again, but it might be nice to go shopping and call Teresa and Aphroa to go with her.

At this moment, with a loud bang, the two people who were holding each other in the air were shocked to the ground by the shock wave generated by the explosion of the powerful secret art.

"Haha, Sebastian, it's so cool to fight you, it's a pity that I lack a weapon to take advantage of, and I can't fight against the magic sword 'Iltrosa'!"

Salian lost one of his best hammers in order to get his hands on the Extreme Edelweiss, and the rest was a few ordinary goods, and it was not so easy to recreate a weapon that he could use.
