Book IX, Chapter 22

"Sure enough, you're very well educated, I remember you were once a top student at the State University of Osiria. Luo Weian smiled gently, showing the demeanor of a demon nobleman, "Are you familiar?"

Ai An stared blankly into Lovian's eyes, then looked down at the hands they were holding together, "You...... The posture of the handle seems to be wrong. ”

Indeed, the position where the two of them were in direct contact was only the area of a few square centimeters where Luo Wei'an was gently sandwiching Ai'an.

"That's the right thing to do. Luo Weian exhaled, "With the palms of the hands close together, I will choose this position for Mafei." ”

Ai An nodded understandingly.

"Aihan...... Do you remember? I've always wanted to hear your real answers. After a moment of silence, Lovian spoke first.

Ian looked up at him in surprise, then looked down a little shyly.

"Isn't it great now?"

"To the past...... There's a contrast, isn't it?" Lovian smiled, "How? Who do you want to be?"

Ai An closed his eyes gently, and when he opened them again, the previous twisting and shyness were gone, and only the generous atmosphere and the elegance of the once high position remained.

The beautiful purple eyes glanced at Lovian fixedly, then withdrew it with a mature smile.

"I'll give you all the answers today, Legion Commander. Ai'an said softly, with an unprecedented sexy guttural voice in her voice, "If it were you, would you choose to continue to fight for the life and death with your past enemies, or continue with your current friends and create a shared future? It's just a contradiction in position, and this is Ai'an who wants to befriend you. It's the energetic girl now, not the white wolf king who used to fight on the battlefield - I'm not a natural warrior like you, I'm just a woman. So, there are some things that you can just look at the surface, Captain?"

The song was rising, Ai'an's slightly seductive smile was charming under the intoxicating light, and Luo Wei'an couldn't help but move slightly in his heart. Sliding his Adam's apple, he cleared his voice and said slowly:

"Forget about the past. That kind of thing. It's not a good thing to remember, and I'm glad you're willing to forget it with me. ”

The four eyes met, and the two sides knew in their minds that the only meeting on the battlefield was the fact that Luo Wei'an had just become the commander of the legion and was not very skilled in controlling the fifth-level power, and he was captured by Ai'an for his own legion. Luo Wei'an, who supported seven days under torture without saying a word, won the admiration of Ai An at that time, and when Mastema led the team to the rescue, Ai An also deliberately released the water and released Luo Wei'an. Let Mastema rescue him. She was also criticized for this incident in the future, perhaps the scene at that time was the sympathy between famous generals.

Ai responded with a smile, then closed her eyes again. A flush welled up her cheeks in the warm light. When he opened it again, Lovian recognized Ai An, who was still familiar to him.

"Luo ...... Mr. Lovian!" As the song ended, Ai slowly walked down the dance floor under his guidance. "Thank you very muchβ€”you, and the Lord of Time for this day!"

In a room that is luxurious enough. Lovian combed through the unfinished tasks of the past few days. Starting tomorrow, they will enter the territory of what was once Duke Bruce. It is also the general source of walnut, which the Marquis of Browning called the most sensitive, but after the fall of the Bruce family, the Browning family succeeded in reclaiming this origin from the chaos.

Of course, just one year was not enough to establish the absolute leadership of the Marquis Browning over that rich land, and besides him, the family of the Marquis of Comen, who was particularly low-key at banquets, was also the Marquis Browning's greatest rival. For the sake of the interests of this land, they do not hesitate to use knives and guns to solve it.

"That kid dared to come here in person, which can be regarded as a bit of courage. But why didn't Browning move...... Are you jealous of me?"

The elite demon special combat team hidden in his territory appeared like a shadow, and lightly forced out the dragon that was attached to Sally, one of the strongest men of the Bruce family, and then was easily wiped out by this mysterious demon leader, and did not let a single one go. Such a cold and direct method in the plan could still make them show an "evil smile", but by the time the real qiΔ“ was revealed to them, the sheer blood red had already frightened them.

Now, under the command of Xi Lin, the simple dozens of demon warriors who are hiding around this mansion can provide him with enough threatening power.

"But it's better to watch them fight among themselves. He sighed, and the dark elemental that filled the room circled around his meridians again, and the rotation of the fourth nucleus increased slightly. Wrapped in dark crystals, the hands that resemble the claws of demons in hell clench in mid-air, and then release.

Early the next morning, Lovian bid an early farewell to the Marquis Browning's mansion and left his manor without expecting any formal farewell, accompanied by Ayan, Grant, and an adjutant of the Blood Moon Clan. After nearly ten hours of trekking, they entered the territory of the former Duke of Bruce, the largest land of right and wrong in the province of Qiaojia.

Behind an unobtrusive bush, Schilling appeared at Lovian's side with a team of nearly eighty men on horseback.

"Is there any damage?"

"As His Highness wishes, there are only two seriously injured people, and now they are being treated in the local hospital, and it is estimated that there will be a delay of about half a month when they return. ”

"The extra expenses incurred from the medical expenses will be taken from my personal account, and I always eat public money anyway...... Hehe. He smiled slightly bitterly, "Next, everyone should pay attention to self-preservation, there are mixed forces here, I believe there will not be no shadow of the Holy Land." Like us, they don't want peace here...... Maybe you'll see a familiar face?"

While laying the foundation for the fourth and final signal tower, the agent in charge of the matter had a bit of an argument. This is not the place where walnut is produced, although you can see walnut trees that have been carefully protected by iron fences from a distance of several tens of meters.

The lack of a clear boundary was the source of controversy, although thirty gold coins for a month were insignificant to the families of the Commen and the Marquis of Browning. But this is not a small amount of money for the land manager, who should not go into the two safes, and it is enough to multiply his salary.

But under the watchful eye of a crowd of combatants. After all, the two sides still did not break out into conflict. After temporarily re-writing a letter of agreement, it was finally done with fifteen gold coins each given to each party.

"The task on the surface is accomplished. Lovian said relaxedly on horseback. "Now it's time to survey your surroundings. I guess here, I'm afraid someone will soon come and pry into our base. ”

"Do you need to stay here a few more days?" Grant whispered.

"No, the tower itself is basically for them to see. "It won't take a few days at all, I'm afraid they'll come out tonight." Let's go, go to the town and find a place to rest for half a day, it's been hard for everyone these days. ”

Schilling immediately led a group of fighters to disperse into the surrounding hub towns for timber marketing and processing, and time passed quickly. Luo Wei'an practiced in his room, concentrating his attention on the unattended tower base several kilometers away.

"You should understand who's coming, right?"

Sitting on the windowsill, Grant held his staff in both hands, looking like he was dead.

"The only people who are interested in the Blue Moon Society's technology are those from the Holy Land and the Golden Sakura. How could these pedantic Terrans understand the importance of this? Moreover, even with their financial resources, they cannot afford to burn the huge investment in scientific research projects. ”

Lovian looked in a hunting cloak, then spread his wings and leapt a few meters in front of him. Looking at the quiet moonlight, he pointed forward with a long sigh. A group of centaurs moved in that direction like moon shadows under Grant's camouflage magic.

When they were still five hundred meters away, Lovian motioned for Schilling to stop the team, and he and Aian silently approached Taki with bated breath.

The masking magic of light and shadow is just as effective, and the visual signal does not provide any information. However, at this distance, the perception of spiritual power can still vaguely pass through the magic barrier, and more than thirty humans can be vaguely seen in it, surrounding the metal pile foundation laid according to the form of a specific magic circle.

A few minutes closer. Through the veil of magic, he saw the leader standing behind the two magicians who were looking down to transcribe the circle. Dressed in light metal armor, his blonde hair was as wild as flames. The pure golden eyes look so dazzling even in the night. The ordinary light armor is also set off so noble.

"Is that him?" Lowe snapped slightly, he really didn't expect that Sinas would send Michal, one of the leaders of the Knights, to take charge of it. The Holy Land has the power to crush all the forces in Osiria, and these five knight captains are the strongest representatives. Even those seen in the past were as strong as the former head of the Cross Brigade, Harmaniah, and the eldest lady of the Flying Flower Academy, Xue Ji, and the like, but they were only on par with the head of a Holy Emperor Knight. The various defeats suffered by the previous knight commanders were only the reason for Orka, who had transcended the limit of the fourth-level strength understanding at that time.

And the knights of the Light-armored Light Order behind him, with solemn faces and steady and long breaths, were obviously masters of the Knights. After a brief assessment of a few points, Lovian cautiously estimated that with their current strength, they could not deal with them yet.

However, it is reasonable to do so, with the strength of themselves and Ai'an, it may be difficult for them to keep themselves here. Nodding at Ian, who was a little nervous holding Maha next to him, Luo Weian tore open the magic barrier around him in an instant, and walked towards Taki in a grand manner.

Realizing that they had been discovered, the Knights also stopped what they were doing, and unhurriedly removed the magic barrier, but hid the more than thirty high-ranking knights behind him in the light and shadow.

Lovian didn't point out, but Michal was dressed and looked at the demon with a cold face.

"How could the Grand Knight Commander do such a thing in the middle of the nightβ€”is there something unseemly about it?" said Lovian in a cold sneer.

Ai'an, who was standing behind Luo Weian with an axe, gasped, facing the knights who were stronger than his side, and he was so provocative, could it be said that he was really a little flustered because he was too smooth these days?

Michal clasped his hands, unmoved by Lovian's words, "The earth of the heavens." It's not the imperial land. Why not do what you want to do in the territory of the majesty. Even if I cover up its tracks. And what does it have to do with people of a different race like you? Could it be that the emperor, as a citizen of the Osilian Empire, you do not dedicate such a threatening technology to Your Majesty, but harbor private reserves, support rebels and rebels, and do not chase my sword and drink blood, which is the limit of my patience. Please respect yourself. ”

"Huh?" Lovian was stunned by this set of words, and then suddenly burst out laughing, if he didn't care about himself and Michal's face. He was going to roll on the floor laughing.

"Hahahahahaha

"Shut up, my lord's words are loud, why are you talking in vain?!" a knight behind Michal saw this, drew his sword and showed his edge, and the cold light was cold in the moonlight.

"Haha-" Lovian whispered, reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Ha-ha, what a rude thing to be at me, huh?!"

Michal's face was even colder, and his hand under the metal gloves reached for the hilt of his sword. In the spiritual perception, a layer of golden-colored soul fire rose above his tall and burly body.

Luo Weian didn't care about his posture at the moment, reached out and wiped his mouth, striding with his arms crossed and staring at Michal with slanted eyes. "Then let me ask you the simplest historical question, His Majesty Sinas, what is her royal name?"

Michal's eyes narrowed slightly. The golden flame seemed to have ignited from the pupil, and he didn't say a word. One of the knights behind him scolded. "Demons, my emperor's name is 'Swan'. What do you mean by that?!"

"Is it the 'Heavenly Burial Flower'?"

The flames in Michal's eyes froze slightly, and he said to himself, "Heavenly Burial Flower?"

"Understood, right?" Lovian took a half step forward, "Osirian Empire, when is the Holy Emperor the only one left to have the final say?" If Shinas's royal title is 'Heavenly Burial Flower', I should be speechless about what you say. But, who said that my allegiance is to Shinas?!"

"Do you dare to call your majesty by your name, don't you want to live anymore?!"

The invisible sword qi rushed from his side, Luo Wei'an sneered, the blood in his eyes flickered, a golden-red spark splashed, and the sharp sword qi disintegrated.

Seeing that he was blocking his blow so lightly, the senior knight was also a little cautious, and the rebuke that he was about to spit out also retracted into his throat.

"The Demon Emperor is not here, you and I should respect Your Majesty as the only emperor. ”

Michal said lightly, indifferently looking into Lovean's eyes.

"This is your self-deception. Luo Wei'an sneered, and in an instant his bearing returned to his previous elegance and arrogance.

Turning around, the black hunting cloak was raised high, his right hand touched his heart, his left hand was attached to his waist, his wings were folded behind his back, and he knelt down on one knee towards the air in front of him.

"What?!"

"The Patriarch of the Blood Moon, Lovian Scalien, Hawley, von Bradimion, has seen His Majesty here. If you miss the distance, please forgive your sins. ”

The space not far away distorted a little, and a pair of long water-silver braids appeared in the air, and Michal saw that this powerful enemy who had made him desperate in the past involuntarily retreated half a step.

Those familiar purple eyes did not have the sharpness of the past at the moment, but they had a bit more vast and grandiose breath that was enough for them to suffocate.

Immediately, the premonition in his heart came true, and in front of Luo Wei'an, who was kneeling on one knee and bowing his head, it seemed to be a patchwork of color particles used from thousands of angles, and a pure gray figure gradually became clear. The shadow in gray was not tall, and even a little too petite.

It was the same weight that weighed on the tall throne in front of the equally short Shinas.

He looked down slightly, and it was a cheek that was exactly the same as Orka's, but with a calmness and stability that was definitely different from hers, as if everything around him was under his control.

In the purple eyes, ten pupils slowly swirled, silver hair was as thin as silk, and skin was as white as snow, this masterpiece of life was so beautiful and delicate that only the Creator could create it, and did not set any moments of attention on Michal's body. He smiled silently at Lovian, then put his hands on his shoulders.

Behind him, leaning against a willow tree and smiling at them, was Orka, who had once been the source of fear, but was now instantly engulfed by a new power.

"Is it because of me, Lowe?" a light voice sounded.

"So please forgive your sins. Lovian stood up, smiled, and then said, "Long time no see, Swu." ”

Looking at the sadness in Swu's eyes and the sadness shared by Orka behind him, Lovian seemed to understand the price of the last seal being broken.

"It's so much easier. Sudwin said, finally turning his deep purple eyes to Michal. At this moment, the head of the Knight of Light has lost his previous calmness and coldness, replaced by caution in the face of strong enemies and a sense of no possibility of defeat.

"You're from this generation, Ledness?"

Michal turned pale, beads of sweat the size of beans falling from his sideburns, and then steaming up with golden flames.

β€œ...... Be. ”

"So, you're familiar with Shinas, aren't you?"

This time, in the face of another emperor of the Osilian Empire, who was on an equal footing with the Holy Emperor, no one dared to reprimand him by his name.

β€œ...... Yes. ”

"Then please convey Swu's words, and may I ask her if she has the faith and determination to reconcile the final tune of Osiria's balance? She should know that if she does so, she will undoubtedly lead the grievances of history to the present world, and the War of the Guardians will continue, and the darkness that has been neglected for so long will return. However, if we don't do that, we just blindly endure and retreat, and when that person breaks the seal, we may not have this opportunity. ”

At this moment, Michal could not fully understand this sentence, as a new generation after the Patriotic War, his understanding of the horror of the previous black mages and the turbid era only existed in the history books, and the monotonous words could not make him burst out with the courage to raise his sword and shout in addition to arousing his inner resonance and longing.

Of course, it was impossible for him, the other knight masters, and even Shinas himself, not to think deeply about this horror before it suddenly threatened to become a reality that was about to be faced, and even chose to ignore it out of fear.

Facing danger, but having the opportunity to prepare and strengthen their final elemental tuning, not just the magical vaults that have been opened, not the horrific magic used to kill and burn, but the ultimate horror of the era. (To be continued......)
