"Your Excellency Alphonse, my dear dear friend. No, or now I should call you Alphonse, King of the Manes of St. Coles. Isn't it?a real King of St. Colesman, or a canonized Grand Duke of the Holy See?" Sebas slowly unfolded the parchment in his hand and read the words on it. Although it was not written in the official script of the Duchy (the Holy Script), but in the Tobomo script composed of various syllables of unknown meaning, Sebas read it without any problems as a master of the language. It's just that when he read the letter, his tone was still as full of light banter as ever.

"Oh, King Alphonse, do you know how much pressure I was under in my country when you set out on your expedition against the infidels? I wonder how many people watched my every move like hungry wolves, and their eyes were like sharp blades, trying to cut off my flesh bit by bit. The position of General Ineboulu is not a great position, at least as a close friend, I have been resisting opposition from the upper echelons of the Empire for you. Whether it's the rotten officials or the idiot-like emperor. Oh, though, I'm the son of that idiot. Not to mention the disgusting corpse for the time being. ”

"Crunch......" Alphonse sat up in his chair, the wooden chair creaking.

"Gladly, you guy finally got the hang of Aimo. Presumably, his wails as he lay dying were absolutely wonderful, the sound of clattering bones and the blood gushing outward. Oh. Just thinking about this wonderful scene makes my whole body tremble, trembling at this wonderfulness. Bang bang. Do you hear me? The red thing under my ribs, the strong heart tightly wrapped in sinew muscles, and when I think of it, I'm about to slash the person I hate like you. Excited, excited, how excited I am to write this letter now!"

This guy is really crazy as always, or a crazy pervert. Alphonse leaned back in his chair. Closing his eyes, he listened as Sebas continued to read the words on the parchment.

"When you were on your march, there were quite a few clamoring for an advance on St. Colesman. To teach the Principality and you a lesson. After all, those guys don't want to see a big country rise around them. ”

"However, this is not a problem, as your dear friend, in my capacity as General Ineboulu. All the time. But. The old guys in the court have long looked at me unpleasantly, and now my situation is precarious. But now is the time, the time to fulfill the treaty, and since the moths don't want me to live, and don't want me to be a dutiful General Ineboulu, then I think that such a decaying empire has also reached a point where it should be restarted. Well, you know, even if you want to be a perfect and upright saint. All kinds of things in this world will still make people feel involuntarily. ”

"Cut ......," Alphonse cut disdainfully.

If anyone could be a man of integrity, the only general, Salome Toblo, could never have been a man of the slightest virtue. A crazy woman. A crazy female general, a creature that is even crazier than a man.

As crazy as her name, Salome. In myths and legends, the princess of the ancient kingdom cut off the head of the man she loved because of love, and then kissed the woman on the lips of the head of her sweetheart. "I'm going to kiss you now. I'm going to kiss you with my teeth like fruit. ”

At the king's feast, the king promised to grant all her wishes if Princess Salome danced a dance of the Seven Veils. Salome danced and asked for the prophet's head. Although the king was unwilling, Chrysostom could not take back his words, so he had to order the head of the prophet to be offered. Salome took the prophet's head and finally got her wish, imprinting her red lips on the prophet's cold lips.

At the end, Salome said to the head of the Prophet, "Why don't you look at me." As long as you see me, you will definitely fall in love with me... The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.

Although it is not clear whether this Salome of Tubmo is also such a "steadfast" woman in love, Alphonse is sure that this Salome is in some senses only more crazy than the mythical Salome.

A female member of the royal family, her fate in this life can only have two results, one is to be arranged by her father to marry another man in a marriage. The other was to serve God in a monastery all his life because he was not married.

This is how the life of a female member of the royal family has been in place, since ancient times, and few are exceptions.

However, Salome does not seem to want such a life, or rather, the bland, mediocre, and boring are all sinful in her eyes. She absolutely could not forgive her life as a vase, becoming a noblewoman with a beautiful face, as the spouse of a great nobleman. Then he got involved in the struggle between the nobles and spent the second half of his life in luxury.

Such a life, without a trace of passion, is not what she wants, not what she expects.

Therefore, when the princess was still a minor, the princess boldly used unknown means to hide from the upper echelons of the empire, commanded a group of mercenaries to plunder the three towns of the empire that happened to be at war with the empire, and when she returned, she brought the heads of more than a thousand strong men......

Now, the mad Salome is plotting how to overthrow the rule of her father, Emperor Tubmo.

Crazy, crazy and insane.

Although the current Tubmo Empire is completely devoid of the glory and strength of hundreds of years ago, even the generals in the border areas have some arrogant ideas, and the reverence for the imperial power has gradually faded.

In history, the bloodline of the royal family of Tubomo has long been changed many times, and the real family with ancient royal blood is afraid that it has been purged in one rebellion after another against the throne. Salome's great-grandfather, for example, was a border general. In the end, with his own power, he ousted the then Emperor Tubmo from the throne and took charge of the empire himself.

And now. What does this guy want to do?

"Stomp. "Vickers rode a fast horse and strolled through the desert around the city of Salem, his eyes staring intently at the distant sand of the sky.

This land of mythology, as if it had been abandoned by God. There is no milk flowing in the rivers of the Garden of Eden, no gold and precious stones everywhere, and only the manifestation of the will of an angry God.

Divine grace is like the sea. God is as powerful as hell. This desert is the best embodiment of this sentence, the sky is full of flying sand and rocks, although it is not yet the windy season in the desert. However, the sand winds that rise and fall in the distance can still make people feel the power of nature in the desert.

It is hard to imagine what a tenacious creature human beings are, capable of building high walls even in such a harsh environment. Living in the sand. Even though there is not much water, the human beings, full of God's wisdom, still manage to create an artificial oasis around Salem through magic or magic, or mechanical power.

But instead of enjoying the coolness of the desert in an oasis, Wickers now went the other way, riding a horse around the city.

The heat and heat of the desert can certainly make another ordinary person miserable, but Vickers is not an ordinary human. After being strengthened by the Divine Coin, his physical body is no longer comparable to ordinary people.

Don't say that he roamed in the desert on horseback, even if he was buried in the sand. It doesn't always mean that they will be killed within a week.

However, there was a hint of hesitation in the heart of this heroic dragon slayer at this moment. This hesitation came from Alphonse, who was sitting on the throne.

The supreme existence of the principality, the guardian of the Holy Sepulchre......

Yesterday, a convoy of grain from the royal city carried two envelopes from the palace.

It was these two letters that filled Vickers's heart with a tangle.

The convoy of grain in the royal city did not surprise Vickers, because Salem had just experienced war, and the food and supplies in the city were not scarce, but they were not very rich.

At the same time, Vickers is also a rising star in Alphons' royal faction, and it makes sense that Alphonse has mobilized food to support him. If there is no such help, I am afraid that it will be unexpected.

This cartload of food was not only to support the operation of the city, but also to Alphonse, who was in St. Colesman, expressing his support for Vickers to the people of the principality.

So that people know that behind Vickers stands Alphonse, the supreme being of the principality. If, of course, there is no God in the principality. Because God is the ruler of all living beings in this world, the owner and giver of the land.

However, as the royal guards, who were escorting the food in the convoy, handed over two of Alphons' handwritten letters to Vickers, Vickers' head immediately grew.

The content of the first letter is neither good nor bad, but it is confusing.

And the second letter. But it made Wicks's heart frightened, and the cold hair on his whole body couldn't help but stand upside down.

"This king drove his own expedition to the south against Ikzar, and in the name of God he acquired the land of his ancestors, swayed the glory of God, and educated the heretics. Let the figure of the cross spread over this filthy land, and purify the souls of the pagans with the holy verses of the Holy Codex. The pen on the parchment letter suddenly turned, and a decisive aura of murder was cast, "However, in the Holy War, the terrible heretics from the north have stationed troops in the north to take the kingdom of God and hinder the progress of the Holy War. ”

When Vickers saw this, his head couldn't help but grow a little. He was well aware of what the resistance from the north would be when Alphonse attacked the Iqzar dynasty.

The one who dared to station troops in the north and intimidate the principality was undoubtedly the Tubmo Empire. Only the Tubmo Empire would dare to give face to the principality without scruples, preventing the principality from annexing the Iqar dynasty and gaining a leap in strength.

Because, the Tubmo Empire is one of the few powerful countries in the southeast of the Western Continent! Although it no longer has the majestic posture of dominating the Western Continent in the past, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and even if there is only a shell left, Tubmo is not a principality that can compete with.

A huge country with tens of millions of citizens is simply a monster of Beamon, and the country lying next to it is not terrified by this beast. I am afraid that this giant beast will turn over and make my country have another unjustified disaster.

But who would have imagined that there would be a country that wanted to challenge this beast right now?

Although Vickers knew that Alphonse was a man of arrogance. During the period when he was fighting against the enemy, someone actually stumbled on him. Judging from Alphons' observation during this time, Alphonse will definitely keep this matter in mind.

But Alphonse is not only a man of grudges, but also a man of forbearance. Otherwise, would he have tolerated the red-haired Aimo for so long and didn't kill him until the last minute?

Until he has enough strength, Alphonse will endure like a poisonous snake. Hidden under the desert yellow. Revealing a pair of eyes staring closely at their prey, until they were absolutely sure. Strike hard and kill your enemies. With your own fangs, with the venom from your fangs.

What could be more vicious than a serpent?

Paradoxically, Alphonse wanted to attack the Tubmo Empire. This is undoubtedly contrary to Alphonse's previous habits.

The confrontation between two countries is not a simple matter. From logistics to equipment, from morale to tactics, from command to strategy.

Tubomo was not an Iqzar who was mired in a civil war, and he would not have been defeated by the Duchy so easily, and it was even possible that the Duchy would pay a heavy price for his recklessness. Although Tubmo will continue to destroy the vitality of the principality due to the power of the Holy Church, once the principality fails, it will definitely be beaten back to its original form by Tubmo.

Moreover, the Duchy had just finished a war with Iqzar. Even though the national treasury was not financially burdened by war reparations. But the grain and grass could no longer support a war, although the treasury was abundant. But it's important to remember that in this world, gold will always be just gold if you don't exchange it for something of value.

The Principality has not yet collected and purchased enough grain and grass, although it is enough to support the operation of various cities in the country, but if another war starts, these logistics will not be enough after all.

Therefore, Vickers could not figure out why Alphonse had to attack Tubmo.

This qiē has a reason, but no strength.................. The weather is like a sentimental spring girl, cloudy and uncertain. The sun was bright in the morning, but suddenly it was obscured by heavy clouds. Then a howling cold wind mixed with goose feathers, heavy snow and hail the size of beans came overwhelmingly.

Rex rode a dreadwar-horse-drawn sleigh through the snowstorm. The two sisters in the carriage heard the tinkling of hail falling on his armor. They all regretted their reckless trip to the icefield. I have become a complete burden. While feeling sorry for their sweethearts suffering in the heavy snow, they were full of sweetness at the same time, after all, after yesterday's crisis, the distance between them and the handsome knight had been shortened a lot.

The blizzard, as fierce as it came, finally stopped after raging for a whole day. Rex canceled the call of the Dreadhorse, came to the car, and gently opened the door.

The cold air, through the crack in the car door, woke up the sleeping sisters.

"I feel the smell of corruption in the air, and the cursed land should lie ahead. Rex looked at the sleepy-eyed sisters. There was a touch of tenderness hidden in his cold eyes.

The two sisters are both ice and snow smart, and after they glanced at each other, they said to Rex in unison, "Let's go with you!"

looked at the two sisters with resolute eyes in their eyes. Rex nodded. Spoke out about his plans.

"I own a space-time portal scroll that leads to the Castle of Death. According to the hint, we must find the altar located in the depths of the Cursed Lands. It is only on the altar that it can be used. Once the Space-Time Gate is opened, a bridge will be built between the Cursed Lands and the Castle of Death forever. Speaking of this, he paused, the light of the spatial ring in his hand flashed, and several scrolls appeared, handing them to Ellie.

"Take these, remember to take care of yourself. ”

Ellie took the scroll and placed it on the skin laid out in the carriage. Picked up a bag of water and a loaf of bread from the side and handed it over like a gentle wife.

"After a day's journey, you should be hungry, eat something and rest. ”

Rex shook his head. "I don't eat much," he had to make for himself to make such a bad excuse. Turn around and close the door.

Avril's trademark laugh rang out from the "giggle" carriage.

"Sister, did you think he was shy?"

Ellie couldn't help but smile. That cool knight. The dry expression of refusing his own food is so cute.

"Come and see what a great gift our lovely knight has delivered. Avril picked up the scroll and looked at it curiously, and at first glance, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

"Look, sister!" Avril's voice was full of excitement. "Sacred Bulwark". "Light of Sanctions", "Dragon's Breath", "A Thousand Miles of Ice", "Great Dimension Slash"

Looking at the 5 scrolls in front of them, every time they pronounced a name, the hearts of the two sisters received an incomparably exciting heartbeat, among which there were actually 4 attack-type forbidden spells, and there was also a sacred barrier known as absolute protection. On the Otlanta Road, high-grade magic scrolls are already priceless, and no one minds carrying a magic scroll with them. At critical moments, as long as the magic seal is torn open, you can emit the power contained in the magic circle on the scroll like a magician. Forbidden spell scrolls like this one. Enough can be passed down to the world as a holy weapon. Owning one of these is something that can be met but not wanted. Unexpectedly, there were suddenly 5 in front of me!

Ellie came to her senses, looked at the closed car door, and said to her sister faintly, "I don't know how many secrets Fili has." I thought I was starting to get to know him. Who knew that he would become so unpredictable again in the blink of an eye. ”

Unbeknownst to Rex, he had picked out a few scrolls from the hapless Barbaroque's lifelong collection, which had caused a lot of trouble to the sisters in the carriage. Of course, this trouble is self-inflicted.

The smell of corruption in the air grew stronger. Rex pulled his sled and approached a canyon. Faintly visible, the pitch-black soil outside the canyon contrasts sharply with the snow-covered ice fields on the way here. The strong contrast makes that land look full of weirdness. It seems that even the snowflakes do not want to fall on it.

It's not early, if you walk into the Cursed Land at night. That is undoubtedly a table that thinks his life is long. The roads in the valley may have become a little muddy due to their proximity to the Cursed Lands. The sleds are already impassable. To buy time for tomorrow's entry into the Cursed Lands. Rex had no choice but to park the sleigh on the side of the road at the entrance to the canyon and let the sisters ride with him on the Dreadhorse.

The tall and muscular body of the Fear War Horse effortlessly carried the three of them, looking very relaxed. Leaning on Rex's broad arms, Ellie couldn't help but think of the events that night that made her feel so shy when she thought about it. Her body became soft and boneless under the man's strong arms. The heart of the uncompetitive heart is beating straight. Rex felt the shyness of the woman in his arms, his eyes were full of pain and helplessness, and at the same time, a trace of perseverance flashed.

Avril wrapped her arms around Rex's waist and leaned her pretty face against his back. His eyes were full of surprise. As an Assassin, she has always been surprisingly sensitive to the people and things around her. Up close, she discovers something she can't understand, and she doesn't feel Rex's heartbeat at all. You know, even a father with the strength of the Shadow King has a slight heartbeat. It was already an extremely deep ability to conceal one's own aura. He's pretty sure that if Rex were to be an assassin, he would be hiding around you, and you wouldn't be able to feel his presence at all!

Could it be that the strength of the Filly Knight has surpassed that of his father? No, this is absolutely impossible.

As the valley grew lower, Rex pointed to a cave not far ahead, and said to the two sisters, "Rest there tonight." ”

Ellie snorted and tapped her delicate chin slightly. The obedient have no objection. Once an indifferent woman is emotional, she becomes blind to the person she loves. What's more, Rex has proven himself to be a man to rely on with countless things.

The cave wasn't very deep, and in the shimmering light of the illuminating gem in Avril's hand, they could see that the ground was surprisingly dry. At the end of the cave, surprisingly there was a flat boulder, and since there was no life in the vicinity of the Cursed Land, there was no smell of wild beasts in the cave.

Avril excitedly began to set up this temporary haven. Let Rex take out the magic furnace they had placed in the sleigh from the spatial ring, along with the heat emitted by the magical furnace fueled by an abundance of fire-based energy crystals. The icy cave immediately became warmer. Looking at the delicate faces of the two girls in the blazing firelight, Rex felt an aura called warmth. He silently helped spread the hides on the flat ground beside the fire.

Sitting around the warm fire, none of the three spoke. There was some ambiguity in the air. Eventually, it was Avril who broke the silence. "Can you tell me about your past, Knight Fili?"

Rex looked at Avril with a curious face calmly, and for a long time, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I have no past, my past is cursed. ”

Unexpectedly, one of his questions actually caused him to have a sad memory, and Avril reached out surprisingly gently to hold Rex's big hand.

"Then your search for the Lich has something to do with your past? ”

"Yes, I need to find a way to lift the curse from the lich!

"By the way, Fili, do you have a lover?" asked Avril boldly and cautiously. This question made Ellie, who had been silently watching Rex next to her, feel nervous instantly.

"Yes, I have my beloved girl. His answer made both hearts twitch in pain as if they had been pricked by pins and needles. But then his words brought both sisters back to heaven.

"But now, I'm no longer qualified to love her. ”

"Is it because of the curse on you?" asked Ellie softly.

Rex didn't answer, just nodded.

The two women grabbed his hand in unison, and their beautiful eyes were full of tenderness.

"We don't know what kind of curse you've fallen into, but Avril and I will help you. ”

At that moment! There was a piercing laugh from outside the cave. The air was filled with the laughter of the night owl, and there was a cold, evil aura.

"Stay here!"

Rex took out the Hunger Chill from the spatial ring, and rushed out of the cave with a trace of afterimage on his body.

Except for the sound of the wind coming from the mouth of the valley, there was a dead silence in the valley, and the creepy laughter of "Jiji" came from all directions. A faint fog blurred the surrounding scene.

Rex calmly stood with his sword in both hands, standing like a sculpture, the energy in his body flowing rapidly.

He jerked his head up, and the cold of hunger stabbed diagonally forward at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. As a cloud of mist was crushed by the sharp blade, a terrible scream echoed through the canyon for a long time.

No blood was left. The fog that permeated the surroundings was getting thicker and thicker. Transparent phantoms flashed in the mist.

"You're all going to die!" a woman's cold voice seemed to carry endless resentment, ethereal to Rex's ears. In the darkness around them, countless cries sounded as if they were from the demons of hell. It makes people shudder from the depths of their souls.

A scream of "Ahhh

"Oh no! Avril Lavigne and they have an accident!!" (To be continued......
