Chapter 50: The Sorrow of the Empire (Part II)
[The third more, not counting the compensation for yesterday, although there are many free chapters in this book, I will still find a week to make up for them all before putting them on the shelves, and it's a week again, and I need the support of everyone's recommended votes]
"What Merlin said has come true, and last year, your brother's health suddenly improved, and he no longer had to stay in the magic tower to survive. But at the same time, there was indeed a black mage in the Duchy of Phoenix, and the people I left behind did not control the situation, and the black magic had spread to the Duchy of Garulan. The son of the Grand Duke of Phoenix is still in Yanjing, and he doesn't dare to go back, this fool, if only he had a tenth of his father. ”
Merlin......
Lord Rex silently recited this name in his heart, and his heart was also uneasy, the last astrologer of this empire, what he said before he died was too terrifying.
"What else?" Lord Rex also became heavy, if Merlin's words were fulfilled one by one, it would not only be a crisis in the Qin Yin Empire, but the entire continent would be in turmoil.
"A giant dragon has appeared in the Cloud Flow Empire, this creature is already rare, and more than a dozen have appeared this time. Later, these dragons disappeared, and if you follow Merlin's words, I'm afraid that the Yunliu Empire has really undergone major changes, and the dragons can't be wiped out by relying on a large number of people. Silently destroying a dozen dragons, where did they get so many mages?"
"What's the worst?" Lord Rex knew, not enough to bother his father. Even if everything is in line with the astrologer's prophecy, as long as the last one does not appear.
"Holy See, passed the Third Code, confirming that necromancers are heretics. ”
Lord Rex's body was a little stiff, and this one could be said to be a bolt from the blue. The four empires have been at peace for more than 700 years, but the Holy See has passed this code, and peace is gone.
Because at the beginning of the establishment of the Qin Yin Empire, there were a large number of necromancers. It can be said that without necromancers, there would be no Qin Yin Empire. To exterminate the black mage, the necromancer made great efforts, and the status of the necromancer was clearly established in the code of the Qin Yin Empire.
Although there are few necromancers in the empire now, the code cannot be modified, which is the foundation of the state.
The Holy See's approach is tantamount to announcing to their followers that the entire Qin Yin Empire was created by heresy.
Is the thousand-year-old holy war really about to break out?
"These have all been fulfilled one by one, and the last one, I don't think it will be an exception, right?" Emperor Qin Yin's face was heavy.
"No, father, it's all a coincidence!" Lord Rex was a little out of shape. Because Merlin's last prophecy was that Emperor Qin Yin would die in a holy war and the empire would collapse.
"Whether it's a coincidence or not, it's all happening. Jihad is inevitable, do you stay, or do you go back?"
Lord Rex paused for a moment and said, "Since my brother's body has recovered, I will naturally go back." ”
She knew that if she stayed, her father would pass the throne to her. There have been a few empresses on the Mers continent, but that was when the emperor had no queen, and now that his younger brother has recovered, if he inherits the throne, some people will inevitably be dissatisfied. Although he wanted to stay with his father for a little longer, he could prophesy......
The collapse of the empire may not be due to itself.
"You're a magician, you shouldn't believe that. Emperor Qin Yin smiled gently, looking at his daughter, he was in a much better mood.
Lord Rex was a little sad and fell silent. Of course, I hoped that the prophecy was false, but I didn't dare to stay.
"Lace, when Merlin prophesied, he was not sure of what I am saying I am doing. I can't imagine anyone else who could hurt me today. Emperor Qin Yin said proudly.
"Then, I have to go back too, there is turmoil in Garudan, there is a small road in Kushui County, and if the black mage infiltrates, it will be a trouble. As long as Kushui County is not lost, the Holy See will not be able to directly attack Yanjing, and all other ways will alarm the other two empires, I don't believe that the Holy See can deal with three countries at the same time. Lord Rex's eyebrows furrowed, and his voice was generous.
Emperor Qin Yin laughed, and there was a little more love on his ordinary face.
"This is my daughter, but don't rush back, this time, I will let you establish a county. Emperor Qin Yin looked at the Shinra ring on the hand of the Lord of Rex and said firmly.
The establishment of a county is a bigger thing than the establishment of a principality. The county is almost equivalent to a real reading country, and it must be of royal blood to open the country. Moreover, the transmission of power after that no longer had to go through the upper and lower houses, and nobles and officials could be appointed and dismissed. As long as the county does not rebel, the state will always exist.
"Father, you don't have to ......"
"Lace, back then, my secret technique was difficult to achieve, so I could only listen to Merlin's words and let you leave. Now, if anyone opposes me, I will make him understand what the wrath of the emperor is. Your uncle doesn't have to worry about it, his two sons are not successful, and he can only pin his hopes on your brother. If he is against it, I will make the crown prince instead. Emperor Qin Yin said stubbornly. He had only one thought in his heart, to make up for what his daughter had lost over the years.
Seeing what Rex was going to say, Emperor Qin Yin said: "I have to do this, the war is about to start, and the empire must at least choose an ally in Yunliu and Scochenia." If you don't establish a kingdom, there will be people who propose marriage. Do you want me to send you away from Qin Yin? If you establish a country, your future husband will be the king of the county. No one can propose to me, otherwise they are planning to split Qin Yin. Is your marriage a business?"
"Father, the marriage is still early......"
"The messenger of the Cloud Flow Empire is already on the way. ”
Hey, Lord Rex sighed, and most of his joy at seeing his father disappeared. She also had a way to get information in Kushui County, but she didn't have such details as her father. She didn't know about the changes in the Tangulas Empire, let alone the issue of the Cloud Messenger. The Yunliu Empire sent an envoy at this time, almost really proposing to his father. The marriage of the two countries can become a condition for the simultaneous confrontation of the Tangulas Empire.
Astrology is not a divine art, and it is similar to magic, and if the antecedents are cut off, it may not be fulfilled.
Figo took Feren and the others to a treasury, and Salin knew that the royal treasury was not one. This treasury is not big, if Emperor Qin Yin is so wealthy, it will be a joke.
To enter the storehouse, you pass through a gatehouse, which is guarded by heavily armored soldiers. After inspecting Figo's badge, the soldier waved his way away. It's a rule, even if you know someone you know, verify the badge with the magic mark. The owner of this badge is useless as soon as he dies, and even with the demon's ultimate transfiguration, he can't disguise himself as another person to infiltrate.
A gray-robed mage led everyone to the door of the storehouse, where there was a magic array and four magic locks. There are hidden arrow holes in the passages on both sides, and even if the Sword Master comes here, he will be killed under the alchemy crossbow.
Keep it tight, and there will be treasures. Salin was satisfied, and the eight mages around Faeron were also excited. The county lord said that although he was generous, high-level magic equipment was scarce after all, so he chose one set this time, and he didn't have to worry about it after becoming a great magician.
The gray-robed mage did not dare to be arrogant in front of Faeron, he took out four magic keys, inserted them into the keyhole, embedded the magic core in the groove of the door, and the four magic keys rotated at the same time, and the door opened silently.
Salin took a look, this gate was wrapped in metal, and it was nearly half a meter thick, and I was afraid that it would not be able to deal with it by brute force.
There was no light in the storeroom, and the gray-robed mage made a gesture to invite in, released a lighting spell in front, and walked in first. Figo accompanied Feren, and then began to chat.
Salin didn't have the heart to listen to their acquaintances, so his mental power was released and he scanned it directly in the warehouse.
The gray-robed mage glanced at Saleen with some surprise, but didn't say anything. Shika and Neris followed Salin and walked straight to the corner.
Inside the storeroom are metal shelves that lead to the canopy, and there are a variety of equipment, mostly for magicians, but also for a few swordsmen's weapons, but also for magical castes. Leaning against the corner, there was a separate shelf, and Saleen unleashed a fluorescent spell and examined it carefully.
The texture of this metal frame is somewhat special, if you read it correctly, it turned out to be made of rhenium gold. Just this one shelf is enough to buy half a castle. Of course, Salin couldn't resist the shelf, and the metal frame made of rhenium was integrated with the ground, and the metal backbone was engraved with magic patterns, forming a tiny magic array.
This magic array only stopped the breath from leaking out, and the entire metal frame was wrapped in this magic array. There was a set of mage equipment on the shelf, and Saleen pointed at it and said, "I want this." ”
"This won't work. "The gray-robed mage is in a hurry. This set of equipment is valuable, although there is no suitable person to use, it is also unique in this storeroom.
This is a Second Dynasty style mage outfit, with no magic robes, just a close-fitting garment. The black underwear has a rough feel like linen. A bracelet with nine gemstone grooves, a ring, a black magic book. Gloves and shoes are all available.
All items are black, and the Second Dynasty did not divide the ranks by color, but later people admired the power of the mages of the Second Dynasty, so they made the mage robes of the mages black. It can be seen that the value of this set of equipment.
"Okay, then I don't want it. Salin didn't talk nonsense, turned around and left.
"You can make a choice. The gray-robed mage said apologetically in the back.
"I don't choose it. Salin shook his head desperately.
The gray-robed mage had a headache, that shelf was hidden behind a magic array, how could this second-level mage pass through? Even if he was himself, if he didn't have special equipment, he wouldn't be able to see that shelf. Evil door.
"You'd better choose one. The gray-robed mage didn't notice the cunning in Salin's eyes, and politely persuaded him.
"No need, when you go back, Your Majesty asks me why I went back empty-handed, and I will hide it for you. Salin replied with a smile.
Hide it from me?" The gray-robed mage's face immediately turned ugly. Only then did he realize that Salin was not easy to deal with, and Salin said as he walked out, seeing that he was about to get out of the storehouse gate. He was in a hurry, and if Saleen really said something to His Majesty, he would be unlucky.
"This ...... Mr. Mage. The gray-robed mage shouted from behind. Salin turned around and asked seriously, "You called me?"
