Granny El smiled and said, "I won't say it now, but you should know when you see him." ”

"Then why didn't you give this hilt to this man in the first place?"

"Needless to say, Ronis's self-proclaimed sense of justice would not have agreed to give the hilt of his sword to that guy. Now I have no other choice to make this choice. There really isn't a better place to put this except for the guy's quarters. Except for him, probably no one has the ability to keep this thing. Granny El turned and retrieved a map from the cupboard. "But if you follow the normal route, you're unlikely to get there. You can follow the route on this map and go to Negan Ground first......."

Asa took the map and put it away, letting out a long sigh. "If this is the end of the story, I'm really satisfied. ”

"What's wrong, tired?" Granny Al's smile smacked of teasing.

"I can't help but be tired. From the beginning I was on the run because what was weighing on my head was too heavy to afford and didn't want to bear. But when I later decided not to run away and face everything head-on, I found that the only way I could face it was to continue to escape. Mother-in-law, you know, it's not my habit to run. ”

"I know. Granny El nodded, "But you have to run again." ”

"If there is an enemy, I can go and fight. Asa lifted the small pocket in his hand, and the hilt of the Black Star was already in it. "But for the sake of this thing, maybe everyone in the whole world can be my enemy, even if there is no now, what about the future? People will change..... Can I kill everyone who might have an attempt on this? ”

An artifact that is rumored to be the king of the world, and is now outside of the Valley of Dia, will definitely be of interest to some. There should not be many people who are interested in the dream of becoming the king of the world, after all, it is unlikely that the peddler pawn will have such an ideal. And as long as you have the ability to be interested, the bloody storm set off for this interest will never be small. Javi is already a good example, and he is already a little insignificant compared to the Pope and the Marquis.

And the corresponding to this artifact is the power of the sunwell in his body, so he can't get out of this whirlpool, and he can't face so many strong opponents, so he can only escape. Fleeing very depressed.

"As long as it's not your own center, it's fine. Don't you see your target now? I can tell you, you won't have to run away anytime soon. ”

"Yes. No need to run away. Knowing that this has nothing to do with me, I feel much more relaxed. As long as I get this thing safely to Negan, I'm completely free. Asa was stunned, he remembered something, and took out a small pocket from his waist.

The small pouch was full of white powder. Asa carefully retrieved a black gem from it and brought it to Granny El. "Mother-in-law, help me see what this is. ”

"How do you have this?" said Granny El's face changed. Even when she saw the hilt of the Black Star just now, her face didn't fluctuate so much.

In the Pope's study, there were only two people, the Pope and the Marquis, not even Bishop Adela and Lancelot, who were standing behind the Pope at any time.

"The Tamic Knight I sent to snatch the leaves of the World Tree is dead. His Majesty the Pope quietly looked at the new cardinal in front of him and said directly. He was not shy about sending the Tammik knights to this trip.

Conversations between smart people are easy, especially when everyone knows that covering up is a boring trick. At this time, the conversation can be said frankly like two honest gentlemen.

"Your Majesty has made no mistakes, and even I have to sigh to myself. This was nothing more than an accident, not a problem with His Majesty's plans. The Marquis bowed down and said lightly. Nor did he have the slightest hint of ridicule. What has already happened is not enough to be a psychological obstacle to the progress of the future. He himself knew that he was still useful to the Pope, and that the Pope was also useful to himself. Everyone knows each other. The Marquis understood this from the moment he walked out of this study.

"But the accident hit me too hard. His Majesty sighed faintly, the sadness on his face heavier than ever.

"I understand that using the leaves of the World Tree to blackmail me is secondary, but it's really not easy to find a talent like the Tammik Knight. The Marquis nodded.

"It's not just that. I had hoped that with the Leaves of the World Tree and the Elves in my hands, I would at least be able to offset the gap between me and Oufu. However, it seems that there is no discord now, the enchantment of the Whispering Forest has been completely persuaded, and the enchantment of the Elven War Ancient Tree and the Sun Well is combined, and there is already an unbreakable place. You should have felt that breath two days ago. ”

"Yes. ”

"That's where the Whispering Forest is headed. How did that thing end up in the Whispering Forest? Do you know?" the Marquis thought for a moment and nodded, "I think Sandru has already taken something out." "Can't he put it in the Academy of Magic anymore?, but I don't think he would dare to put that thing in the Whispering Forest, the elves would be torn apart if they knew, and he didn't want to see it. So can you guess where he's going to put his stuff?"

The Marquis shook his head: "If he really has a way to completely seal the dark fluctuations of the hilt. I really don't know where he's going to keep his sword. ”

His Majesty the Pope was silent for a moment before he said: "That day, Ronis and Sandru did not hesitate to spend their magic power to cultivate, and at the same time used the seals of white magic and necromancy and the water of the well of the sun well as a spell to create a secret room that could barely suppress the fluctuations of the dark star. Now Ronis is gone. That kind of enchantment can't be created anyway, and there is only one way for him to completely seal it...... Do you know what it is?"

"The ring of His Majesty the last Pope, Deken. The Marquis replied at once.

"Well, you should know these things. His Majesty's face fluctuated slightly, but not much, at least

illustrates the honesty of the marquis in front of him. "This thing should be in the hands of Aegrenel. But it is a pity that I have no news of this old friend at all......." The Pope asked, as if in a tentative tone, "Do you know Inham?"

"The whereabouts of the number one killer in the mainland, how can I know. The Marquis smiled wryly.

"Even if I had her whereabouts now, there might not be a way. Twenty years ago, she could have escaped the siege of the Twelve Templars, and I can't think of any other way to snatch the ring back from her. The Pope smiled wryly.

"Fortunately, as the acting guildmaster of Dia Valley, she will not be like Sandru, following the principles of necromancer detachment. I only hope she doesn't take the hilt of the Black Star and take care of it herself, but that's just hope. Now that the hilt of the sword is out of control, there is only control that can control it......"

The Marquis suddenly said, "Your Majesty, are you worried about Lord Archibald's prophecy..... The appearance of the hilt of the Pitch Black Star may indicate that the day when the real Pitch Black Star will break the ground is not far off..."

"Yes, of course I'm worried about that. The Pope nodded and acknowledged it unabashedly, and then added, "Inham, I know that you are also not interested in fulfilling Archibald's prophecy, right, otherwise you would not have stopped Javi that day." ”

The Marquis nodded and smiled bitterly: "Yes, if the Dark Star really breaks the ground, as a member of the Dia Valley, he will have to go and return to the command of the Necromantic King." I don't think anyone likes to be commanded by something that might just be a monster except for Shante, Sandru, who only know Archibald's words. This was actually the common opinion of most necromancers of the day, but now, I'm almost the only one left. ”

"I know that you are not the kind of person who is obsessed with power, and can be carried away by power and profit, and will not pursue things that you cannot get your hands on, and you are not blindly following the teachings of the sages and pretentious fools. Although you have also accepted the brand of the Black Star, you are the special one of all necromancers, so I have always admired you, so I asked you to join Celeste, and I will sit here with you to have a good discussion. The Pope smiled at the Marquis.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being able to afford it. The Marquis bowed. How could the Pope know all this clearly, he could already guess what was going on. Compared to Bishop Adra, who had a good personal relationship, the dead Eschel was more likely to be on the side of the Pope.

"Okay, then I'll make it clear to you again. Inham, our interests and goals are the same, let's cooperate. The Pope looked at the Marquis's upright face and said slowly and cautiously.

If someone else is around, or knows about this scene, they will not understand how a Pope His Majesty could say such a thing to his own cardinal, and this cardinal is the one who accepted the grace and trust of His Majesty the Pope not long ago and rose directly to this position above ten thousand people. But now, not only His Majesty the Pope was serious, but even the cardinal did not look flattered in the slightest, and nodded seriously.
