Book IX, chapter 24

The warm infinite energy trigger masked the tingling in her heart, and Veryl turned to leave the spacious, cold office. For some reason, she felt that the space here was independent of the real yàn room, and she remembered an old verse.

"Don't have mercy on the madman who locks himself in a cage, for he may have escaped from a smaller cage. ”

The white clouds outside Sky City were only a consolation to the elves, but even they knew that behind the white cloud curtain was a spherical shell of pure black dark elemental circulation. It was a dark elemental magic enchantment second only to the Great Chaos Dark Creation, and the terrifying dark element circulated peacefully outside the real yàn chamber with precise manipulation and calculation, binding the possible fluctuations of a qiē space into a solid form.

After all, the unlimited power of human intelligence technology exceeded the power bottleneck given to the creatures by the creator, and even with the strength of Shinas or even Sheila, it was impossible to break through this elemental barrier lightly.

From below, it was a perfect circle with no reflections, staring at the ignorant people below with dark eyes without pupils. The negotiation about walnut still got a vague result after all. After the opening of the Magic Vault, the demand for walnut wood has increased day by day, and in such a trade context, it is difficult to see the long-term situation, not to mention that many of the descriptions are just wishful thinking from Lovian.

However, before leaving, according to the arrangement of the Browning family, each of their delegation of more than 100 people received a half-finished walnut cane as a gift. Although the number is not large, if used in the right aspect, these more than 100 short canes still have considerable effect. After all, there aren't many people who can use a short staff to depict a fine magic circle.

But here comes another problem. Even if Zhongnan Mobile Company starts operating, not to mention how to plan the charges and other issues. Although the technology of mobile communication terminals is not difficult, there are only a few operators who have mastered the technology of carving the core circle. And these people are mainly magicians who are engaged in the study of magic circles. If they were to be sent to the front line of production to carve magic circles day and night, it would undoubtedly be a great waste of human resources.

In fact, these magicians are not needed for repetitive work, and after a period of training by some ordinary people with ingenuity, there is generally no problem in carving magic circles. The main problem is how to give ordinary people a certain amount of magic power to make the carving circle magically active.

"I'd better leave this kind of thing to the people in the research department. "Lovian rode past the boundary pillar first, and instead of moving to the familiar edge of the western Minar forest, he headed straight south.

Of course, it was impossible to climb all the way on horseback over the rugged terrain on the edge of the Burial Heaven Mountain, and then through the desert of Ariante to the new location of the Blue Moon Commune, the autonomous region of the Osilian Empire, which had nominally taken over Griva's affairs. After crossing the Burial Heaven Mountains without avenues and entering the ground roots, I saw the Grivar Plains. They and their horses were transported to the train. It's still a cold hard seat, but at least there are no bumps, and the train can tolerate the dry climate through the edge of Ariante.

Their ears were calloused by the sound of a slow train crashing through the gaps in the tracks, and when they finally got off the train at the terminal two days later, they were greeted by a man in black with a solemn expression in sunglasses, and few of them did not feel a little uneasy.

From the moment I entered the country, it was already obvious that even in the border towns, the dilapidated wooden houses were simply reinforced with tempered plastic. Black barricades blocked the former access to the outer realms, and even brick walls covered with barbed wire were repaired where necessary. The demon cavalry riding through the main road on a black horse glanced at the signs of disharmony and violation of the rules with a murderous face, and did not hesitate to strangle them. The collapse of sovereignty and the imminent revolt of the various local forces and popular riots were wiped out almost instantaneously by the iron-blooded policy of the New Blue Moon Society, and after the most important demarcation line of the border was stabilized by coercive means, it was the second step in the government of the Grevar Empire, which was settled by the representatives of Francis.

Even under the Orka education system in the past. It is still required that the Osilian Empire under its command only allow two supreme powers, and the rest of the so-called "royal family" are all expressions of rebellion and rebellion. The palace was emptied almost in half a day. The remaining wooden skeletons and masonry structures of little value were wiped out in the raging fire.

In the ruins of the past, white double-storey bungalows with simple plywood structures have replaced the ornate and redundant royal buildings of the past. After sweeping away the ashes and rubble. The ruins were immediately covered up with tenacious locust trees, and the new government buildings disappeared in a trance under the cover of layers of vegetation and temporary walls.

Under the maintenance of black lancers and tall and burly demon heavy cavalry. The capital became the most stable city. However, several large cities outside the capital are still emboldened by independent military and political forces.

But Francis, who had no time to take care of this, almost immediately announced the new Grivar. On top of the last remaining royal tower, Francis, dressed in a straight black and silver military uniform that surpasses the style of today's soldiers, looks at the people gathered below with a scepter, and announces the end of the Griva Empire with clear and inviolable absolute authority, and the Blue Moon Community Self-Government loyal to the Osirian Empire takes over the territory of the former Griva Empire, and Griva is removed from the textbooks, all teachers and educators are placed under house arrest, and those who cannot pass the ideological censorship are thrown into concentration camps.

"We have never been short of civil servants. Following the teacher on the white platform tiles, Dominita Feller said in a loud voice, even though the wings behind her back had been stripped by humans, the two accompanying Blood Moon people still looked at Dominita's back with some kind of "admiration" gaze.

"Is it because of Evan?" Lovian was also slightly surprised by the appearance of Dominita and Julian, especially when he knew that Francis's men were understaffed and could not stabilize the surrounding cities, and the two children who were still in school actually temporarily asked to take a leave of absence from school to return to the Blue Moon Society, which somewhat touched him.

After a period of study, Dominita's temperament of the Blood Moon Clan was highlighted a little. There is also a little more grip and confidence in his eyes. Having received the Heavenly Sculpture, she must have a rather terrifying reputation in the school of Mingcheng, and with her age, her strength is enough to impress everyone. What's more, her companions have almost the same level of talent. However, this is only one aspect of it, and it must be in the field of theoretical learning that Tiansu cannot cover. She's pretty good, too.

"Military attachés gathered around Francis, civil officials gathered around Evan, and important manpower of the Ministry of Science, all ...... Gremel there. Dominita suddenly leaned into Lovian's ear and said, perhaps because the name Grimmel was still too sensitive in the Black Wings, "If Grimmel hadn't betrayed, why did the Black Wings obey the Holy Land and change its name to the Blue Moon Society?"

"I noticed one detail. Luo Wei'an turned his head and said, "Have you recognized your identity, as a member of the Black Wings, the Blue Moon Society?"

"It's just the general trend. Dominita paused a little, "Julian. Let's talk about the current situation. ”

The young man who followed behind his sister hurriedly took a few steps to catch up with the two, and said quickly in a very calm voice: "The relocation of the Blue Moon Society will still take about half a year to be completely completed, and only a small part of our most important forces have withdrawn to the Grihua Plain, and the power of the restoration of the original Grihua Empire is still not small, so my sister and I were ordered to return here to assist the military department in eradicating dissidents and establishing authority." The willingness of the wolf clan to follow us is a great help, not to mention that their strength has always been strong, and the prestige of the wolf clan in the past can also shock a group of recalcitrant elements. ”

Lovian nodded, and looked at Ai'an, who was talking to an unknown wolf clansman on the other side. He looked at Grant, who was discussing technical issues with a magician, and suddenly his sense of memory seemed to drop a lot.

"It seems that there is no need for me to come back?"

The Blood Moon clan walking behind him seemed to be a little agitated by these words, and he almost rushed up with a wrong step. In an extremely resolute voice, he said, "Your Highness, we would never cling to the Terrans without you—"

"Shut up!"

What made the surroundings quiet for an instant was Dominita's rebuke, and the girl of the Blood Moon Clan, who was more than twenty years younger than him, squinted at the latter and interrupted him coldly and mercilessly.

"You-"

The demon's gray-white face was red and blue. There was a look of disbelief and struggle in his eyes. It seems that it is not only all and absolutely angry, but in the anger there is still a deep fear of the junior in front of him.

"Without the Blue Moon Society, we wouldn't be alive at all. Dominita turned her back to him. "Without them as our barrier, the army of Shinas would have crushed us back and forth many times! It's already a huge concession and a gift from them, and if you think about it, there will be a leader who will hand over a strong force under his command to someone other than himself?!——"

"Nita, that's enough. Lovian frowned slightly and patted Dominita on the shoulder.

"And you," he said, then turning his head to look at the Blood Moon fellow who had been forced to bow his head under his gaze, "There are few good people in the Terrans, but at least there are some. Among the demon emperors of all generations, there is no example of not having the blood of the demon race, the racial concept is too heavy, where does the unity come from? In the future, Francis's words will be my words, you can not be loyal to him, but please respect and carry out his orders!"

“...... Your Highness ......"

"How can I help when I come back?"

"It's just some pacification. Soon, the brief stagnation passed, and Lovian walked ahead as if nothing had happened, the Blood Moon Clansman squinted at something, and Julian took up Lovian's question, "Before the rest of the troops return, settle the surrounding tribes of Griva." But there's no hurry, teacher. In a few days is the second meeting of the Osirian Alliance, which you will attend as a member of the Blue Moon Society. At least Brother Francis took this meeting very seriously, because it was likely to be about the distribution of benefits for decades to come. ”

"Oh," Luo Weian nodded, "Speaking of 'high-level', what exactly is my position in the Blue Moon Society?"

At this, several people around him slowed down in surprise, as if they were surprised by the question he asked.

"Do you mean I'm lonely?" he muttered to himself, looking around, a little surprised.

Bypassing the last exit of the train station, the bright sunlight suddenly floods the orderly streets. Outside the white marble station square. The solemn aura of the black and silver figures made their breath stagnate.

The black diamond on the shoulders of Francis, who was not prominent, dazzled in the bright sun, among the burly guards. He bowed gently to Lovian.

"Welcome back, Teacher-Godfather. ”

It took a few people to figure out where the streets with complicated names marked on the address of his new home were. A little dizzy, he stumbled and knocked on the door of the ordinary hut.

Mastma opened the door and looked at Lovian stunned. At this time of year in the south adjacent to the snowy region, the weather has entered late autumn, and the house is a little cool at this moment, Mafei is wearing a dark shirt, a woolen vest outside, and the cuffs and necklines are all traditional demon nobles wavy lace style.

Leaning on the door frame, she looked at this generation of Blood Moon Venerable with a smile.

"Welcome back. ”

"Oh. Luo Wei'an froze and blurted out, "You're so pretty." ”

Mastma was stunned. Then he laughed, "I should thank you." There are no decent tailors for this kind of clothes in the Terrans, but I was a little surprised to find them here. ”

She closed the door behind Lovian, her arms slid diagonally under Lovian's armpits, fingers wrapped tightly around the back of his waist, and he couldn't move. Although this is a very intimate posture from the outside world, Luo Wei'an, who is in it, will understand how strong these arms are, they are simply a set of steel bars.

Holding his chest tightly to the front of Lovian, Mastema pressed her purple lips to his ear. In a very soft voice that made his bones crisp, he whispered:

"My henchmen tell me that life seems to have been good in the days in the North!

The wings behind his back also clinged to him, shackling him firmly in this narrow space.

"Snow. Snow Foam ...... She's—"

"Shhhhh My dear Lowe?"

Lowe lamented in peace of mind, this has nothing to do with him! He definitely treats this former White Wolf King from the perspective of looking at his juniors, how can he dare to think about her!

But...... If it's really a completely subconscious truth. He must admit that the human blood of the other half of his body makes it impossible for him to be pure like other pure-blooded demons, and regard alien humans as unselectable.

What he didn't expect at all was that Mastema would have such an intelligence network, and what was even more important was that he didn't expect Maffei's possessiveness to be so strong.

"Well, I don't have any ideas, it's purely social...... Isn't it just a dance...... There's only thirty minutes of conversation left, and it's unlikely that anything will ......," Lovian stammered, and it was his turn to be a pure body, and with half human blood, he couldn't catch up with the pure-blooded Mastma, "Ma...... Maffee. Believe me, I've always treated Ian as a junior!"

Mastma squinted at him with fluttering eyes, spitting hot moisture in his ear. Then he sighed lightly: "Then again, who is Ai'an now?"

Luo Wei'an suddenly had a terrifying premonition, the person who was the "henchman" mentioned by Mastma was probably unlikely to be the demons, but Ai'an himself!

"You...... How do you know this, do you say-"

"Don't speculate!" Mastersma said with a slight smile, sticking to the side of Lovian's face to reassure him a little, "Answer my question, Legionn. ”

“...... At the very least, some of her memories have been restored, and her past personality has awakened, but she is still dominated by her current personality. ”

Mastma nodded thoughtfully, letting go of his arms and wings. Lovien wondered if the touches had been bruised, but Muffy's quick kiss on his lips made him quickly abandon the idea of examining himself.

After tidying up his belongings, Luo Weian sat with her in the small main hall, holding a cup of tea to warm his palms.

"The position of 'godfather' that Francis has given you is really ingenious. She was the first to speak, "Not only is it a title higher than his status, but it also sets up a reason why you might get involved in other important departments of the Blue Moon Society." Francis is still very smart!"

Lovian smiled wryly in place.

"You don't have the same say now. Mastma sipped her tea. "Theoretically, you have the right to interfere even if Francis orders you want. But. Nominally, you have already dissociated yourself from the top management of the Blue Moon Society, and now you are just a highness of the demon race. And also. Ai An sent a letter to tell me that you can't accept Siwu's Demon Emperor Seal, is it really the reason she said?"

Seeing that Mastma's face was as usual, and he didn't have a look of disrupting his half-year plan because of the failure of the Demon Emperor Seal's acceptance, Luo Weian felt so weird.

"Ayan knows enough......," he muttered, "I don't know why, and I can only believe what Siu says, though it sounds like a fantastical explanation." Then again, you've got a half-time job. Or are you going to be a full-time wife at home?"

Mastema put the teacup down and blushed, "At least the child was going to work until he was born." Francis, he—"

"Stop!" said Lovian, whose face darkened suddenly, as if he had been electrocuted, and slowly stood up, first looking around, and then at Mastma with an expression so strange that he could not find the right adjective.

Mastma was stunned by this kind of gaze, and there was a feeling of being wrapped in tropical lice in the icy and snowy polar regions. She cautiously put down the teacup in her hand, thinking about whether she should immediately knock out Lovian, who had fallen into an unknown strange state in front of her.

"You," his voice was steady. Extremely serious, "I said the words 'before the child was born', so I can reason as a matter of course - you have a child?"

Mastma's expression seemed to be unable to find a more expressive description at this moment except for the word "embarrassment", and Mastma's half-frozen hand holding the teacup suddenly loosened. The cheap but beautiful white porcelain cup fell in an instant, and just before the hot tea spilled on her slippers, a purple glow flashed. Lovien had teleported underneath her, caught the cup, and quickly snatched the tea away.

The look in Lovian's eyes, scrutinizing her from the bottom up, made the former shudder a little with impulse, a few seconds later. Mastma realized why he was doing this, and Lovien was going to put on such a special look.

"Ah...... Calculate the time, if—should. Almost. His eyes widened and he didn't blink, his free hand shaking his fingertips and calculating, "Oh, I'm sorry, isn't my expression too intense?"

Mastma tried his best to suppress the thought of erasing the expression from his face with his hands, and then changed to a relaxed expression and tone, ending Lovian's delusions as much as possible like a daily conversation.

"Oh, that seems like it's really easy to be misunderstood—by the way, by the way, I'll tell you what I think, if we really want children, at least after the Dark Mage is defeated, or if it's confirmed that he won't break the seal for the next hundred years. I don't want them to suffer it. Mastma patted the woolen shoulder and said very actively.

Luo Wei'an's mood at the moment, whether it is "stunned" or "relieved", is very strange anyway, it may be that all the seasonings in the world are mixed into his brain, and there are different strange flavors everywhere.

"Ah...... Not...... Hmmm—"

"Alright, sit back. Mastema put his arm on Lovian's shoulders and put him back in place, "Continuing with the previous topic - be your lieutenant for the time being, do you have no problem with the Legionnaire?"

In fact, Luo Weian heard the second half of the sentence very clearly, and also understood the meaning very quickly and incorporated it into his own plan.

When it was close to noon, Xue Mo ran back with a thick stack of engraved paper, followed by several fierce black-clad sunglasses bodyguards. And Xuemo's appearance seems to be that his father has never left home, which is a bit too normal. However, when Lovian gave her the half-finished walnut staff as a gift, she was so happy that she couldn't eat, and Mastema lost her temper.

Of course, in Grivar's capital, Pingluo, the restoration of order was aided by some Flying Flower Temple, and with the help of them who were proficient in how to solve problems by underground means instead of swords, guns, swords, and halberds on the surface, the gangsters in the city suddenly became prosperous, and within a few days, the corpses in the moat that had been thrown into the water due to the underground war could be seen. The pressure to maintain law and order has been greatly reduced, and the guy who is still proud that he has finally become the boss of Pingluo who he couldn't even think of in the past was coldly looked at by a few visitors from the Flying Flower Courtyard who were looking at him with slanted eyes with double knives. On the same day, he took his younger brothers to the public security bureau on the corner of the street and surrendered.

Francis didn't say much during the brief meeting, perhaps because of his position. In the eyes of everyone, he can't say everything he wants to say. From his point of view and the views of other high-level members of the Blue Moon Society, Luo Wei'an was really relieved of his conventional power at the time of his business trip, and he could not interfere in the internal affairs of the community, revoke his right to intervene in the Ministry of Science and the Department of Education, and was completely isolated, becoming the general leader of the demon garrison troops and residents of the Blue Moon Community.

However, the inhabitants and army of the demon clan are still under the jurisdiction of the Blue Moon Society, which once again weakens Luo Wei'an's interrogation power, just as he is not in charge of things at all now. Every aspect of the life affairs of the demon inhabitants has been peacefully taken over by the Blue Moon Society, and although Luo Wei'an is such a demon blood moon venerable, he will soon exist in name only! As long as he is kept alive, for a period of time, the Blue Moon Society will be able to completely stabilize every citizen and soldier in Pingluo and even in the entire Griva Plain.

"Godfather. ”

It's a wonderful name, and without Francis's hand, Lovian really wouldn't have had the right to care at all.

After reinforcing the city defenses of some surrounding cities and erasing some of the beacons that had been stored in the past by the Grihua Empire, the military instant messaging network of the cities around the capital was simply covered. And the populace, who had just panicked because of the change of power, could not have accepted the still-high cost of instant messaging terminals all at once. The so-called "mobile phone" launched by the head office of "Zhongnan Mobile".

However, according to the second group of skilled sappers in the Central Plains, the inhabitants who have lived in affluent environments for generations have expressed great enthusiasm for their promotion, and with their general economic strength, there should be no problem in purchasing first-generation mobile phones. Although it is going to be taken by Feihuayuan nearly fifty percent of the dividends. But as long as there is a start and development, sooner or later they will occupy a major position in Zhongnan Mobile.

The immediate problem is not here, but the second meeting of the Osirian Union, which will take place in half a month. Adhering to the theme and spirit of the first session. The theme of the meeting remains to address the potential and only threat to the Dark Mage. The general lack of attention to this in the continent of Osiria is also the main concern of the Holy Land of Shinas, but the world that has been at peace for hundreds of years has instinctively resisted or avoided such a terrible war.

And as the black wings who have been acting in the tense rhythm of life. Now the organization of the Blue Moon Society, Shinas has a certain amount of confidence. Although the strength under her command is still absolutely strong. However, the Blue Moon Society is the only army that has defeated them in the present era, and pushing their ideas and future plans into the direction of their own plans is undoubtedly very much in line with Shinas's appetite, and it can also greatly reduce the loss of the Holy Land itself in the future - this is a story for another time.

In the early morning of a few days, in the headwind of the new banner of the Blue Moon Society with a white moon on a blue background, the Blue Moon Society, which had been hastily prepared, was ordered to go to the capital of Victoria, the heart of the Osilian Empire, the heart of the Osilian Empire, to discuss the future of the continent at the call of His Majesty Xinas, the extreme light of the Holy Land.

On the tall dark silver magic tower, Evan Pam, dressed in a black and silver uniform that did not fit in with the black and silver uniforms around him, raised his hand and saluted Francis. The dark green and black burqa reminded Lovian, who was standing next to Francis, of the Blackwing cadre who was still a puppeteer when he first woke up. At this moment, Evan's face was gloomy and calm, his eyes were deeply dark, his slightly narrowed eyes revealed a cold and sickly colored light, and the dragon wing staff in his hand was also dyed with a layer of dark green. Mi Le, a descendant of the Agate royal family standing beside him, looked bright and talented. The crisp black and silver military uniform, shiny long military boots, and neat military hat gave everyone a sense of atmosphere, but even so, in the center of the crowd, except for Francis, was still this dragon master shrouded in a dark aura.

Lovian noticed that Francis's eyes were down all the time, not letting his eyes fall on the shiny hull. The thin slits of the eyes revealed a cold, piercing blue light.

Francis raised his hand in return, and Evan bowed slightly. (To be continued......)
