Eastfall, the royal palace of Friedrich.

King Dodor rested his arms flat on the small round table of moonlight wood, staring intently at the parchment letterhead in his hand.

The so-called parchment letterhead refers to all kinds of vellum paper letterheads. This parchment letterhead is tanned from calfskin and has a tight and delicate texture, with a smooth finish on both sides that gives the quill pen a rich colour. Despite its exquisite workmanship and quality, it was not worth paying attention to the number of such calfskin letterheads for King Dodor.

The handwriting on the letterhead is beautiful and dignified, giving people a sense of immaculate immediacy. Even the illiterate untouchables could imagine the writing of a peerless beauty, but Friedrich saw through the writing the solidity of the earth element, the scorching splendor of the fire element, the agility of the wind element, and the endless flow of the water element.

In the entire human realm, only Sylvia can vividly show the characteristics of the origin of the world through writing.

If Sylvia's handwriting with her will is full of the spirit knight's understanding of the elemental sea, it makes the high-ranking knight love it. Then what she wrote made His Majesty Oseiberg Friedrich tremble.

On the letterhead was the name of only one person - Austin Buryatia.

"It is already clear that Sylvia used Sophia's forces to kill Hora Ludwig...... This is a revenge and a warning from the Queen of Roses. ”

Duke Ludwig stretched out his index finger and tapped on the table, his deep and cold gaze swept over Duenkru, and finally landed on King Dodor's face, and said slowly: "The question is, it is clear that His Majesty is trying to murder Viscount Randall, why should the Golden Bird family suffer the revenge of the Queen of the Rose?"

A month earlier, the Count of Hora had been killed in an attack on Dwemick. The Marquis of Dwemick borrowed 30 unicorns from the Knights of the Iron Wall and sent three high-ranking knights to hunt down the murderer. At the site of the incident, they met Sylvia's Guardian Knight, Trislie York.

Even if the high-ranking knights of the Dwemick family were completely sure that the Angry Knights of the York family would be left behind, they would not dare to make a move. Without explanation, Trisley dropped a piece of Silvia's handwritten letterhead and led the Rose Knight away.

The head of the Dwemick family read the contents of the letterhead and immediately complained to the Duke of Doonkru, which meant that the Queen of the Rose suspected that the Kingdom of Dodor had tried to use Austin Buryat to murder Viscount Randall, resulting in the loss of a high knight to the Kingdom of Gambis. Now, the Queen of Roses has taken revenge by sending someone to attack and kill one of Dodor's Grand Knights. This matter had nothing to do with the Dwemick family, and Ascending Rock City inexplicably became a scapegoat. Dwemick must explain to the Golden Sparrow in order to appease Duke Ludwig's anger.

Doonkru adamantly denied this, but had to allow the Marquis de Wermick to pass the letterhead to Ludwig.

As expected, Duke Ludwig received a letterhead written by Sylvia, and sure enough, he came to the door and aggressively asked the king for his guilt.

King Dodor let out a long breath, waved away the attendants in the living room, shook his head and said, "She has no proof......"

"She didn't say you did it!"

Hora was killed, and Duke Ludwig, of course, was outraged. But inwardly, he was unwilling to confront Sylvia and the half-golden Sophia for the sake of a dead knight. However, the majesty of the Golden Knight is not to be offended, and the reputation of the Ludwig family cannot be ignored.

However, Sophia decided to relinquish the leadership of the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce for 15 years, winning the support of the church and the kingdoms. The Golden Birds found that they had little to do to get revenge on Sophia. Just when Duke Ludwig was at a loss, the Dwemick family received Sylvia's handwritten letterhead.

This headless, brainless letterhead with only one name made Duke Ludwig suddenly realize: it turned out that Sylvia's slap was not in the face of the Golden Sparrows, but in revenge for the killing of the Grand Knight of Gambis in the Kingdom of Dodor.

The personal feud between the families turned into hatred between the kingdoms, and Duke Ludwig had a step to divert internal pressure.

Hora can't die in vain. But in the final analysis, it was the first hand of the royal family of Dord, and this account could only be credited to Friedrich's head.

His Majesty wanted to shirk responsibility, how could Duke Ludwig agree?

He interrupted the king's defense, put away the letterhead, and said coldly: "When Austin clashed with Viscount Randall, Sylvia's Knights of the Rose happened to be in the Duke of Erickson, facing off against the Knights of the Iron Wall. Otherwise, Austin Buryat would not have dared to penetrate into Randall's domain, and Sylvia would not have allowed Viscount Randall to shoot a Grand Knight of the Kingdom. This coincidence is enough to tell the story, and Sylvia doesn't need any evidence at all. After a pause, the Duke snorted again: "If there is evidence, Your Majesty has been imprisoned in the Inquisition by this time...... And we also have no evidence that the Gambitian nobles attacked and killed Hora. ”

Friedrich was depressed. At first, the Sarsanians spread rumors that they would marry the eldest princess of Gambis as the queen of the empire. The kingdom of Dordor is sandwiched between the two great powers of the north and the south, and is in danger of overturning at any moment. The three guardians of the kingdom were helpless, and Friedrich proposed a plan to win over Sylvia and split Gambis. Viscount Randall, as the squire lord of the Kite Castle and the companion of Sylvia, has the role of a bond between the two parties. If the Foxy Fox wants to complete the task of King Dodor, he must first get rid of Viscount Randall.

Duke Ludwig was aware of the plan to assassinate Viscount Randall, but was not involved. But who would have expected that Viscount Randall was not an ordinary nobleman of the Moon Elf bloodline, but a popular shooter of the silver rank. Viscount Randall became Sylvia's backscale, and Duke Ludwig would not admit that he had any involvement in the cunning fox's assassination.

Even if Ludwig doesn't admit it, Friedrich won't admit it, anyway, Sylvia should retaliate and retaliate. But what is the point of Duke Ludwig accusing the king of something that no one admits?

Friedrich was silent, and the Duke of Doonkru next to him said: "The death of Austin Buryatia has nothing to do with us. The Earl of Hola was attacked by bandits, and had nothing to do with the Marquess of Wimbleton. For the misfortune of Count Hora, the kingdom will have an account. ”

"Tell me about it. Duke Ludwig interlocked his fingers in a gesture of listening.

Friedrich pondered for a moment and said, "The Marquis de Dwemick should be held accountable for the attack on the bandits, which led to the attack and death of Hora." The Senate ordered the Dwemick family to pay Ludwig 600,000 gold soles and not to participate in the redemption of the northern territories. The foreclosure of the Dwemick family goes to Ludwig. ”

"Didn't the church ask Dwemick to be knighted?" asked Duke Ludwig faintly.

"This ...... After all, Dwemick is the great lord of the Kingdom of Dord, and Sylvia may have other plans to deal with him. Friedrich smiled and said, "Uncle Walter, you are Maev's father. The Ludwig family, as the descendants of the Duoduo, always had to think about the interests of the kingdom. ”

"Oselberg, you force Dewemick, I don't care. Duke Ludwig looked at the king with a smirk and said, "Since you know that I am Mave's father, and since I am a descendant of the Kingdom of Dord, please tell me about the Bloodthirsty Legion." ”

"Bloodthirsty Legion?"

Duke Duncru's eyes froze, and he asked in a deep voice, "Oselberg, what is the Bloodthirsty Legion?" ”

"Doon, I'll explain it to you first. Duke Ludwig said, "Her Majesty has sent someone to tell me, who is a father, that Oseiberg is secretly preparing a transcendent army. Every soldier in the legion has a bloodthirsty talent, and they are able to increase their strength and speed by 5%, reaching the level of a beginner knight in half an hour. ”

"Isn't that the effect of the Blood Boiling Elixir?" asked Doonkru with a frown

"No! it far surpasses the potency of the Boiling Blood Elixir, almost equal to the Jackal's bloodthirsty talent. Ludwig said coldly.

Friedrich smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Mafu is really reckless......"

"Reckless?" said Duke Ludwig angrily, "In the eyes of outsiders, Friedrich and Ludwig are really one, and Silvia's revenge on Ludwig is equivalent to revenge on Friedrich, and Hora died because of it." But you hide it from the queen, hide from the descendants of the blood, and secretly plan to build a bloodthirsty army. Do you want to reneg on the 680-year-old marriage pact between Friedrich and Ludwig, Oseiberg?

"I'm still hiding it from Uncle Doonkre!"

Friedrich said calmly: "The preparation of the Bloodthirsty Legion is related to wizards, and the fewer people who know about it, the better." I hide it from you, too, to protect the queen and the guardian of the kingdom. When I'm ready, how can the bloodthirsty legions hide from the queen? Uncle Walter, you're too careful. ”

Duke Ludwig reined in his anger and followed the king's tone and said, "The first king is my cousin, and even if the bloodthirsty legion is related to wizards, the golden sparrow is not afraid to take on the responsibilities of the Duoduo descendants. ”

Doonkru snorted coldly and said with a calm face: "Ossberg, since when did the king of the Friedrich family start to form a bloodthirsty army without hiding from the guardians of the family?" If Duke Ludwig was fake angry, he was really angry.

Friedrich smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, the Bloodthirsty Legion may also be involved in the Church Inquisition, so I have to be cautious." ”

"How could a wizard be implicated in the Inquisition?" asked Doonkrew, confused.

"Let's put that aside for a moment, let's talk about the Bloodthirsty Legion. ”

King Dodor shook his head and said, "The Borui hired the Brotherhood of Kamen to suppress the Bucks Merchants. Their movements in Eastland are closely monitored by the cunning fox. Foxy discovers that some of the Kamen Brotherhood's thugs have a bloodthirsty talent. These people are masquerans called Blood Guards. The cunning fox captured a Blood Guardian alive. ”

"After testing, we found that the Blood Guardians have a physique beyond ordinary people, and their strength is comparable to that of a beginner trainee knight of the three elemental positions of Resonance. In addition, the Blood Guardians are able to activate the Bloodthirsty Talent every four quarters of an hour, and their strength, agility, and speed are greatly increased, which is not inferior to the average beginner knight. Friedricha said meaningfully, "You should know what the Blood Guards mean to the kingdom?"

Knights need their soldiers to act as their own eyes and ears, while taking care of all sides and implementing a variety of tactics. Only by working closely with the knight squad can we form the ability to perceive, act, fight and survive beyond individual limitations. However, in some special environments, ordinary elite soldiers will slow down the knight's maneuver. For example, a dense forest that war horses cannot penetrate.

The savannahs and ghost forests that the kingdom of Duoduo is about to open up are home to a large number of gnolls who pose a great threat to warhorses. While the unicorns bred by the Kingdom of Dordor are not afraid of gnolls, food supplies for unicorns are a serious problem. If the Knights of Dor are assisted by Blood Guards, their combat effectiveness and survivability will be greatly improved.

Duke Duenkru was thrilled and asked, "Can the training method of the Blood Guardian be popularized?"

"Of course. Friedrich chuckled: "It's easier than you think...... To train a Blood Guard, you only need to meet three conditions, a wizard, a bloodthirsty potion, and a jaggery. ”

Duke Ludwig continued: "I want the recipe for the bloodthirsty potion. ”

"The recipe can be given to you. However, without a wizard infusing magic, a bloodthirsty potion is not a potion after all. King Dodor said with a sly smile.

Duke Ludwig thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I won't hide it from you, there are indeed several wizards in the Ludwig family...... What price do I have to pay for you to give me the wizard's method of infusing magic?"

Doonkrew's eyes flickered, and he deliberately interrupted, "Potions, aren't potions lost?"

"That's what I want to know. Ludwig said lightly: "The Lord of Radiance changed the laws of the world and severed the connection between wizards and the Elemental Sea, causing the power of the Chosen One to decline significantly, and the Church cut off the magic inheritance. Today's wizards cast spells based on their talents, and they don't know how to use magic, let alone make potions. ”

"However, there are always exceptions. More than a thousand years ago, the Moon Bear family of the Teutonic Principality was only a small family in the Iron Mountain Empire, and their knights were all killed in the Orc War, and the knights' bloodlines were cut off, and they lost their territories and surnames, and they were exiled to the northern tundra to survive. According to the rules of the Radiant Code, the family is dead. But they suddenly mastered the method of cultivating the Moon Bear War Beast. With the power of the Moon Bear War Beasts, they gained a foothold in the northern tundra, and took the Moon Bear as their surname, absorbed wandering knights, and founded the Teutonic Duchy. ”

"The moon bears in the northern tundra are just ordinary beasts, and after being cultivated by the moon bear family, their physique, form, habits, and intelligence have undergone amazing changes, and they can actually deter the barbarians under the mountain!"

"The ancestors of the Ludwig family looked into the matter. There are indications that the Moon Bear family is not using an alienation potion, but a magic potion. ”

Duke Ludwig paused and continued: "At the same time as the rise of the Moon Bear, an earth-shattering event occurred in the human kingdom. ”

"Pantheon Rebellion!" said Doonkru in a deep voice.

The air in the living room suddenly became frozen and heavy, as if even sound could not be transmitted.

Ludwig waved his hand to dispel the vision of the Void Earth element, and said, "There are no outsiders here, I might as well say ......"

Duenkru felt in his heart, Duke Ludwig was even stronger than he imagined, and he could definitely rank in the top ten among the Golden Knights.

"In terms of substance, Friedrich is a little worse than the Liques. Ludwig glanced at Duenkru and said lightly: "At that time, it was common for lords to raise wizards, and the church was helpless about it. There are two reasons for this, first, in the face of the pressure of the northern orc clans, the Iron Mountain Empire needs to rely on the extraordinary power of wizards. Second, the Iron Mountain Empire was strong, the knightly aristocracy had a deep penetration of the church, and the authority of the pope was weakened. ”

"Some high-ranking members of the church believe that the sorcerers raised by the lord have no inheritance, and they themselves believe in the Lord of Light, so they are not very harmful to the church. There are even extreme clergy clamoring to form a black-robed cathar and place the wizards raised by the lord under the jurisdiction of the church......"

Friedrich nodded and said, "You are talking about Ulleric, he was the first person to be burned in the Inquisition." ”

"That fool demanded that the nobles hand over the sorcerer he had raised, and he touched the interests of all the lords, and of course he was to be burned to death. Duke Ludwig smiled contemptuously and said: "Ulleric was burned to death, but his idea was passed down and even became a fact. The people who secretly promoted this matter were none other than the Trigovar family, who were in charge of the Inquisition. ”

Duke Ludwig was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Oselberg, you said earlier that bloodthirsty potions involve wizards and the Inquisition?"

Friedrich hesitated, then bowed his head and said, "Hmm." Foxy Fox has dealt with a wizarding organization, and the Blood Guardians of the Kamen Brotherhood are secretly trained by that wizarding organization. The foxy fox captures one of their wizards, and we dig out the method of infusing the bloodthirsty potion from the wizard's mouth. ”

Duenkre's eyes lit up, and he said, "Potions need the Chosen inheritance, and the Chosen inheritance has never been broken. It has always been in the hands of the Church...... Or rather, in the hands of the descendants of Enoch. Could it be that the emissary behind that wizarding organization is the Pope?"

"Hehe, if it were the Pope, Enoch's heir would not lose his divine power. ”

Ludwig laughed, "I think that the Inquisition, or the Trigowar family to be precise, is behind that wizarding organization. ”

"Trigovar deceived the Chosen One from the Pope, single-handedly planned the Pantheon, and then used the pressure of the Pantheon to form the Inquisition, and finally murdered the Pope and all the cardinals. ”

"Their purpose in doing this is to take revenge on the descendants of the Sword Saint Draven, to regain the throne of the Grand Master of the Radiant Knights, and to hold the supreme power of the human kingdom!"
