Chapter 104: Dunkirk's Entrance Ceremony (7)
Just as the Prince of Condé was leading a group of men to meet Cromwell's messenger, a raven that had been hovering above the town hall for a long time finally swooped down, and while the guards watched vigilantly, in another corner, Marie and Vesalius fell almost like they had fallen into a marigold, but fortunately the vegetation was still very luxuriant, otherwise they would have to break a few bones.
The broom fell apart when it was still about ten feet from the ground, and it was still the same sentence, even if they were wizards and magic, and after flying high in the air for so long, they still had to stiffen their limbs and numb hands and feet, and they fell to the ground like a stone statue, and Vesalius only felt that his inner part was torn apart, but Marie only gasped a few times, poured a bottle of potion into his mouth, and led Vesalius through the window and into the corridor, where Mary simply didn't care about the invisible laws of the inner world, and used all kinds of spells unscrupulously along the way, either to avoid, or to confuse, or to stealthily go straight to the king's room。
At this time, a doctor came out of the room, and saw that Mary seemed to want to say something, but Mary just waved his hand impatiently, and knocked him down against the wall, and Bontang in the room immediately drew his saber vigilantly when he heard the sound, and when he saw Marie, his expression relaxed slightly, but his hand still did not move away from the saber.
"What do you want to do?" but this calmness was broken when he saw Mary put something strange in place, or spill it, or put it next to the king and in his mouth, and he rushed to stop Mary, but Mary waved his hand and his legs could not move—"Don't get in our way!" Mary screamed.
"We need to know what it is," Vesalius kindly explained, "is it a potion, a curse, or both?"
As he spoke, he poured a bottle of potion into the king's mouth, and after a moment Louis moved slightly, but still unconscious: "It seems," Vesalius examined the king's tongue, and the color of the iris: "It's the last one, and both." ”
"I think so," said Marie, "or they wouldn't have stabbed Louie." Vesalius, help me pick up Your Majesty, we need to get out of here at once. ”
"Wait!" Seeing that Vesalius had really done that, Bontang couldn't help but shout, "What are you going to do?"
Mary turned her head abruptly, her pupils shrunk like a cat, "We can't save him in the surface world!
"No!" Bontang refused, almost without thinking.
Mary just shook her head cruelly, "Let's go!" she said, and then Vesalius gave Bontang a helpless glance and hugged the king up, Mary was not lying, his and Mary's potions, amulets can delay the king's bad symptoms, but to say that healing is only impossible in the surface world.
Seeing this, Bontang immediately cried out, but no one responded, and just as he was about to go mad, a shadow swept by the window, and Vesalius felt a light in his hand, and the king left the crook of his arm, and he heard Marie chanting the incantation aloud, but the threat caused by the incantation was interrupted by a thin cane.
The man who took Louis was none other than Prince Van Zhuo, Theoderick.
It was gloomy to-day, but the heavy clouds could not completely block out the scorching sun, and the vampire appeared at this time, even the prince was not immune to the sun's damage, his black pointed collar cloak was slowly smoking, and his exposed face had a lingering pain and exhaustion, he held Louis in one hand, and raised his staff in the other, the tip of which pointed at Mary.
"Then how do you plan to get Your Majesty over the cornerstone?" asked the Prince slowly.
Bontang didn't know what the cornerstone was, but he instinctively sensed a hint of danger...... Intense danger.
"The cornerstone of the world of separation from the world," repeated Theoderic, "what are you going to do with it?"
"I have my way. Mary said.
"I can probably guess that mortals can't pass through the cornerstone, because from the beginning, it was a barrier erected by the great wizarding family of the Inner World to protect against the church and army of the Table World, and they were struck and destroyed like no other, and their hearts were full of resentment, and when they set up the cornerstone, it did whatever it took - how many wizards' souls and bodies were cast into the masonry of the cornerstone, and in the hundreds of years afterward, such a foundation stone was endlessly strengthened and filled.
Miss Marie, as a member of the Mancini family, you should know, after all, the Mancini family is dealing with their enemies, or some wizards they hate," said Theoderick, smiling and glancing at Vesalius, and sure enough, he instinctively trembled a little: "I always like to send them to the Caspian Tribunal and convict them of treason, and then, there is an extra stone brick on the cornerstone— Their souls will be imprisoned here forever, even if the end of the world comes, they will not be able to move half a step, they can only wail in the stone bricks all day long because of pain and emptiness, this torture is enough to make the most tolerant and merciful people become vicious and cruel from now on, but based on the suppression of magic, they will never be able to take revenge on their enemies, so every mortal who dares to touch and cross the cornerstone, or an uninvited existence, will become the target of their venting and rage, even if the body is torn apart, even the soul will be devoured alive。
It is precisely because of such a strict and intimidating guard that the secrets of the inner world have never been spied on by the surface world, but if you want to say a way, it is not impossible," Prince Van Zhuo said: "As long as the mortals who have made a blood oath marriage contract with the wizard, those mortals who can share half of the wizard's power and half of the life of the wizard can be accepted as half wizards and allowed to enter, this is the way you think." ”
Hearing this, Bontang's eyes widened suddenly, and he wanted to speak, but as soon as Marie raised his hand, he fainted.
"That's right," Mary admitted, "I'm about to do it." ”
"But you should also know that there is no wizard king, and there is no king wizard. Theodric said.
"All he has to do is be a wizard. Mary said sweetly, "He will be a good wizard." ”
"A good wizard like Varro Vesalius?" said Theoderick sarcastically, and Marie paused, she subconsciously went to look at Varro, catching a bitter smile that she couldn't hide in time - Vesalius knew what Marie would do, but he ...... He may still have some resentment towards the young king, although he knew that as a ruler, the king was tolerant enough...... But...... On the one hand, he resents and blames his own incompetence, but sometimes he also fantasizes that if there is no duke...... No, he couldn't believe that he was so naïve, there was a Mancini family in the inner world, and of course there would be a Duke of Motmar in the watch world......
"He's right," said Vesuary, "he's going to hate you, Mary. ”
