Book IX, Chapter 19

"Very well, this is the experience we have gained in the last five hundred years, just the best conditions for survival, only the leaders who are most beneficial to the whole race. I don't care who you are attached to, I just want to see the demons in my lifetime as they did in the past...... Whew, change the subject, remember that you have a daughter at home, right? This is a handmade flag coat by Mafei, I guess she will like it very much. ”

The civilian officer in front of him did not change his face, and nodded his head after thanking him.

After chatting about a very casual topic of life, Lovian smiled goodbye to him, and then glanced at Mastma meaningfully.

"Don't pretend to be mysterious, cut. Mastma laughed, "Tomorrow during the day, our family will take Xuemo to Francis's book club, and she likes that too." The day after tomorrow, you will go to Siwu again to ask for the Demon Emperor Seal. You just believe that Siu will give you our most important thing?"

Lovian stood in the shadow of the streetlamp, reaching out to put his arm around Mastma's waist.

"How so?...... Actually, I don't want that thing either. After having the Demon Emperor Seal, I really can't lose this heavy responsibility for the rest of my life, and I have to endure all kinds of etiquette, if it weren't for my ambition being too ambitious, I wouldn't want to ask for trouble. ”

Mastma raised his fist and slammed it on Lovian's chest, "That's just like you." Alas, if you were the Demon Emperor, wouldn't I have to endure those cumbersome rituals?Actually, I think that if the Demon Emperor Seal had been with Siwu all along, and he had been living in seclusion with Orka, the impact would not be very great. However, the Demon Emperor's Seal is not just a symbol of the darkness of Osiria. Look at the current fourth-level limit that can't break through the fifth-level no matter what, isn't it because of the loss of the Dark Pole and the loss of the Demon Emperor Seal? As long as Siwu has a simple elemental tuning ritual, this generation of fifth-level powerhouses. They will pop out like mushrooms after the rain. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I think you should at least wait until you break through level five. Go and get the Demon Emperor's Seal again. Izwuorka's IQ, they wouldn't have thought of it. ”

Lovian looked down at her with eyes that were too clean to tell what he was thinking. Mastma's face turned red, don't look away.

"It's a blessing that I've been with you for many lifetimes. Maffei, I really like you. Very special. ”

"'Very special'? Why don't you say 'I like it very much'? What do you think of me?!" Mastema looked at him with a smirk, raising her hand to poke his chin.

"Why, how dare you-" Luo Weian hurriedly waved his hand, "Hey-you!"

On the other side, Francis, escorted by several bodyguards, walked slowly with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

"Dingkan!—time is running out, it's time to move in a few days, and there's a lot of things you don't have to leave to your team. Come out like a squad leader!"

Listening to the old-fashioned in his tone has become a habit. Ding Kan waved his hand helplessly, turned his head and walked away without objection. Xue Mo was still staring blankly at this scene, and only after she understood what was happening did she jump up.

"You, you, your—why are you coming! You didn't say hello in advance!!"

"It's hard to find a reason to desert, and you just welcome me like that?" Francis said, with a grimace, "and you have to make full use of your rights as a technical advisor to Zhongnan Mobile to improve the efficiency of existing products as much as possible."

"Stop, stop!" Xue Mo immediately surrendered, "Then again, when exactly are we going to move south?"

"At least look at Evan and their dynamics. He pulled a letter from his bosom. Then he glanced at Xue Mo, "If your communication device supports remote images-"

"Don't be professional if you're not professional. Xue Mo snorted and continued to cling to the grilled lamb chops poured with orange juice, "A picture contains a lot more information than audio. Although it is simple to transfer text directly. But we can't find a system for parsing text yet. That's what I'm doing now. ”

Xuemo's temperament, which suddenly became serious, changed greatly, and in the blink of an eye, she changed from an image of a girl of that age to a knowledgeable researcher.

"Okay then...... Is the teacher there?"

Xue Mo took the bamboo stick and pointed in the other direction, "I advise you to seize the opportunity." Otherwise, it is not a good choice to disturb the time of mom and dad. Hey, you...... Now how can I find you? ”

Francis also sat down. Suspicious at the smelly roast lamb chops, "This place is too close to the Holy Land and the Shrine after all. It should be a good choice to settle in the south. Moreover, the Earth Temple intends to restore the attitude of the former historians, and Shinas is estimated that he will no longer be embarrassed by the power of the demon clan to buffer the two sides. Moreover, yesterday there was a very strange news that the Holy Land declared our Black Wings to be legitimate...... But there is a request, let's change the name. ”

"Change your name?" Xue Mo said, touching her nose and leaning over to Francis quietly, "What's the point? Whatever Black Wings become, isn't it Black Wings?"

Francis picked up a bamboo skewer and swirled the slender filaments of dark essence around it, "That's right, but the essence of the matter is that folk legend has said that the Black Wings have been wiped out in the dark creation, and we are just a remnant with no power here." Moreover, under the leadership of Lord Orca in the past, even if we were a high-flying terrorist organization, we could still live well. But I don't have that ability, and I have to form an alliance with the Flying Flower Academy, and choose a legal identity to replace the black wings of the past, which is the best choice. ”

Holding her knees, Xue Mo stared at the flickering firelight, "Do you have a name in mind?"

"First, it can't be as negative as the name Black Wings. Second, it should not be reminiscent of the new name having some relationship with Black Wings. Thirdly, its independence from Osiria cannot be highlighted. For example, what to call 'Dominion', 'Duchy', etc., lest we repeat the mistakes of the Dragon Knight Bruce family. ”

"Francis. Xuemo's suddenly squirming tone made him slightly puzzled, "Francis, do you still like Lord Orka?"

Francis froze for a few seconds. Then say in a calm narrative tone, "Like, always like." The future is no different. But I'm not going to fantasize, starting with my successor as Governor. I decided to just think of the days I spent working with Orka-sama as a beautiful memory. ”

The snow foam was similarly sluggish for a few seconds before Francis heard her exhale reassuringly.

The girl's mind is just beginning to open, and it is still a little difficult to hide from Francis, who has read a lot. The young Black Wing Chief smiled inwardly and reached out to pat Xue Mo's hair.

"In a few months, Julian and Dominita will be back from vacation, and then they will ...... Eh, why don't you wait until the move is over, I'll take you to Mingcheng to have fun and meet them by the way?"

"Hmm!-" Xue Mo looked up in surprise, "Really?!"

"When did I lie to you?" Francis stood up. patted his army-style black silver shirt, "Teacher, they ...... Why is it so long?"

In the shadows behind the streetlights, Lovian pushed himself out of Mastma's chest.

"Whew!!—" he gasped as he flushed, "forcing me to set a record for breath-holding." It's so tight that I can't breathe......"

Mastema bit the corner of her lip and smiled a little smugly, "You mean to throw in the towel?"

Luo Weian immediately geared up, "Unilaterally admitting defeat is not a failure, it seems that there is no time to ...... tonight"

"Hey, hey, is that out there?" said Mastma, blushing. Reached out and poked him in the face, then crossed over Lovian's shoulder to see Francis behind him, "Oh, you're on vacation too? what's the matter...... Look you've lost weight lately. Why don't I make you a working meal at noon every day, I don't think those people in the cafeteria are worth trusting. ”

Francis silently looked at his watch, five minutes was definitely not too short. Especially if two people are holding their breath.

"Well, thank you, teacher, but let's talk about me first—did you all hear that?"

"Hmm. Discuss this with me. It's up to you to decide, after all, it's your business. And you really say it's going to be decided. I'm afraid we're going to call Forrest Gump here, right? The wolf clan has basically decided to join us—"

"I can't even be autocratic with a name, I have to have meetings to do everything in the future, what efficiency is there!" Francis glanced coldly at the south, "Evaluation, teacher." ”

Lovian patted Francis on the shoulder, "It's the right thing to do, and if you really want to fight in the future, you won't be able to do it even harder." Tell me, what's your name?"

Francis was silent thoughtfully for a moment, then said, somewhat awkwardly, "Ah...... Sorry for being distracted, but first define the nature of the new black wings. I reached out to a few of the social science researchers in the Education Division, and we decided to use 'Community' as the suffix in our official name. The laws of the Osilian Empire are the democratization and self-government of the community, and the Flying Flower Temple, whose official name is the 'Flying Flower Community', is nominally the autonomous governing body that governs the southwestern part of the province of Cotesor. The second is the new name, because we want to cut a gap with the black wings of the past, and the people know that what is blocked by the border guards is an organization based on the alliance of the demon race and the wolf clan, and after a long time, the people's understanding of the demon race has been diluted, and if the name of the demon clan is called, there will be no dangerous misunderstanding. At this point, the demon clan is even much safer than the wolf clan, so I-" he let out a long breath and pointed to the pink red moon in the sky, "-decided to make the Blood Moon Festival a legal holiday of the Red Moon community, to promote the traditional culture of the demon race, and to enrich the humanistic traditions of the Red Moon community!"

"Red Moon Society?" Luo Wei'an was stunned for a moment, "Oh, Francis, actually, red is a symbol of war in the tradition of the Demon Clan. I advise you to change it - this is just my personal opinion, war is not a good thing. ”

"It's better to change to 'Blue Moon Community'. "Blue represents grain and harvest in the traditional culture of the demons—my last name, Bryreette, means 'Blue Lagoon'. My Blue Lagoon family has had excellent agronomists almost all over the ages. ”

"Okay!" replied Francis, very dryly, "that's the Blue Moon Community, Flitwick, write down my decision, complete it overnight, and call the Liaison Office of the Holy Land by eight o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes!" Standing behind Francis, a large-shouldered, round-waisted, non-civilian-looking attaché clasped his heels and saluted Francis's background.

Lovian looked up at the sky, and the pink moon seemed to be dyed a mild blue at the moment. A combination of pink and blue. The strange appearance eased the stinging pain of the memories that appeared in Lovian at this moment.

"I really haven't seen a blue moon yet. ”

A light rain fell under Dimi's night sky. The canopy grew low, as if reaching out to touch the moist clouds. You can't see the starlight behind the rain clouds and the powdery blue moon. But the low one that seems to be able to kiss the sky on the roof brings a long-lost sense of security to the people in the house.

In the traditional home of the Wing Demon, translucent illusory feathers are dotted in every corner, revealing a vague gray warm light under the warm street lamp. On the thin sheets on the bamboo floor, the slender and white fingers were intertwined, and the pure body in the dim light also flashed a blurry and crystalline white light.

"Lowe their festival...... It's today. ”

Embraced by Long Wing, Orka closed his eyes and looked at the ceiling with a faint scent of bamboo.

"Siwu, Demon Emperor Seal, you can give it to Lowe. He needs it even more. ”

"Yes, he can come over at any time. But...... Whether the Demon Emperor Seal approves of him. Siu didn't know...... Moreover," Si Wu also closed his eyes and took out a pink-gold crystal from the side of his pillow, "Without the Demon Emperor Seal, I don't know if I can protect the Seal Stone." If the Dark Mage comes out, we'll have to leave home. ”

"Siwu has a plan...... Then Orka didn't refute it. She turned sideways and grabbed one of Siwu's hands, carefully interlocking her fingers, "Is Siwu's seal really carved by Lilith?"

"Siu doesn't know...... Siu should have been-"

"Nothing happened in the past!" Orka suddenly bit down on Swu's shoulder. The sharp teeth immediately left a red tooth mark, and she cried out aggrievedly, "Nothing happened!!Nothing ......"

Siu panicked and hugged the emaciated and heartbreaking Orka, "Don't do it - Orka is right. Nothing happened! Nothing!"

After a few minutes, Orka's choking gradually subsided, and she opened her hazy eyes and said in a small voice, "...... Sweeney. He's gone. Siu don't worry about him, those are all ...... It's all the stuff that makes Orka sad. ”

Even if Orca says so. Siu won't give up. Siu has always wanted to repay Orka......"

"When will Siu deal with the balance of the Osilian elementals?"

"With Orka. Go find Shinas. When, as long as you like...... However, such an important thing should always be talked to Lowe. "The southern boundary of the province of Kotsel almost demarcates the limit of the southern power of the Osilian Empire, although the province of Kotsel itself has almost escaped the control of the Osilian Empire and is independently led by the titular "Flying Flower Community".

The northern part of the vast territory of millions of square kilometres from the eastern part of the Cotesor to the eastern boundary of the Lynn Hel is under the direct jurisdiction of the Victorian Province, and the vast territory of the south and south-east is subject to moderate self-government under the watchful eye of the Central Holy Land. Of course, there are many noble lords who have privatized their own territories because of this right, and have diluted the authority of the government in the Holy Land in order to make it their own. Of course, there are no more extreme examples of the Bruce family doing something as extreme as the one that has disappeared under the iron hooves of the Holy Emperor Knights, but the great nobles who are on the same level as him are still eyeing the opportunity for Yiqiē to expand his power.

Obviously, Grihua, who fell into civil strife due to the collapse of imperial power, rightly fell into their eyes. After all, nominally, the entire continent of Osiria belonged to the imperial royal family, and even Sinas turned a blind eye to the low-level trick of sending private troops to the south to flatter the royal family under the banner of "recovering the territory". Under the power of the imperial power, which has absolute strength, they have actually fulfilled their "loyalty" to the royal family. If anyone really has a backbone, not to mention the mutual exclusion caused by the difficulty of unity among the nobles can put him in dire straits, a few brigades of the Knights can make the Holy Land gain a large tract of land without losing the army. So why wouldn't Shinas do it?

However, this qiē has a premise, and that is that Shinas has absolute confidence that he will be able to obtain the landowners under the nobility at any time. Absolute confidence was the one who could give her peace of mind, and if the aristocrats who were about to move were interspersed with beings who were not part of her sphere of influence, that would not be allowed to happen. Why, then, are the Crusader Brigades, which have existed since the Manju Sahua Dynasty, have so far not been allowed to have permanent structures on the ground and have to settle in underground cities, behemoths such as the Xiao Long Mercenary Regiment and the Flying Flower Courtyard have had to live in the alleys of the streets of Kotesor under the guise of the Elven King Golden Sakura, or in the name of "community".

And the absolute anti-government terrorist organization that openly claims to have an army and wantonly expands, since the ascension to the throne of Sinas, the only one who has really grown and expanded under the pressure of all sides is the black wing of Orka, the former leader of the Dark Legion. And now that the Black Wings have also fallen apart with the mysterious disappearance of Orka, the remnants of the remnants of the Heavy Corps in the Holy Land do not dare to act rashly, and in the dark background of the situation in Osiria with the gradual return of a group of past fifth-level powerhouses, Shinas does not want to continue to sacrifice his strength to completely kill the Black Wings. So she gave the Black Wings the conditions to survive, and even more generously gave them a chance to get a legal identity. After the ideologically rejuvenated Earth Temple decided to follow the teachings of the Historical School, Sinas was so relieved that he even had the idea of encompassing the Black Wings of the past.

"If it succeeds, the power of the throne of Shinas will probably be stronger than that of the former Emperor Arya, right?"

Dressed in a cavalry suit that didn't fit well, Lovien rode his horse through the lands of central Osiria. Having just broken away from the northern boundary of the Grivar Empire, they are now heading towards the province of Joga, which is directly north of the central axis of the Osirian continent and adjacent to the eastern line of Cottsor.

The word "Joga" comes from the ancient elven language, and the meaning of the ancient elven language is rarely known even to the elven race today. However, according to legend, the word "Joga" means "mahogany", which also reflects the fact that the source of wealth in the province of Choga comes from the wood processing industry here.

The province of Qiaojia is a pure aristocratic province, and there is not a single piece of land in the province that does not belong to the local aristocratic and landlord class. Of course, the richest land with the best quality mahogany and other precious timber does not belong to the barren land on the southern border here. This place is immediately followed by the left boundary of the Burial Heaven Mountains, and if you stand here and look to the east, you can see the wonders of the Burial Heaven Mountain, which connects the heavens and the earth. It's a good place to be a tourist attraction, just a few minutes' drive from the foothills of the Burial Mountains, and a short drive south to see the vast savanna and wildlife. However, the people here are deeply convinced that only wood can make a fortune, so Luo Wei'an sighed in his heart after seeing the sparse pine trees behind the boundary monument and the continuous burial mountains in the east.

Although the feeling of galloping on the grassland was not as free as flying in the sky, he felt the vigorous movement of the muscles and the strong heartbeat of his comrades when galloping, and he felt that such actions were more textured. Therefore, as a Blood Moon Venerable, he led two or three of his fellow clansmen who were gliding in the sky and more than a hundred Mingmang soldiers behind him to the southernmost part of Qiaojia Province.

Ai An hung the heavy Maha in the saddle and followed behind Lovian on a white horse with the same skill, his face calm and indifferent.

Such a look would never have appeared on Ian in the past, and the battle he had never experienced must have awakened or partially awakened her memories of the past.

When he first looked at her on the train back from Griva, Ai didn't show anything out of the ordinary. In addition to Maha's suspicions, she is still the lively and cheerful girl who is often a little confused. Along the way, she searched for things and joked around, and it was only in the darkness of the night, when tiredness brought her to sleep, that Lovian was sure of that point. (To be continued......)
