Chapter 61: The Empire (I)

Waiting, it's such a long thing, and at the same time, it's also restless.

The bell on the top floor of the palace struck twelve times, but there were still no other electors in the spacious palace council hall. Only Emperor Louis Bird and Maximian sat there whispering, and it seemed that the topic of conversation was not about the impending barbarian invasion. It's some trivial things in daily life.

Aryria can't stand it anymoreβ€”

She wanted to get up several times to urge the emperor, but was forced by Rod to sit down.

Finally, two hours later, the first Elector besides Maximian entered the palace.

"Konstantin. Visson was elected Emperor. ”

Maximian introduced. However, even if Maximian didn't say it, Rhodes could guess the identity of the other party. Not because of anything else, but because of the rune sword that was worn at the waist. Rhodes had seen Maximian's rune sword, which was no ordinary weapon. Rather, it is a weapon unique to the Electors of the Empire, a symbol of status and status. Only the Elector can have it. Each rune sword has its own name and history, and the name of the person who leads the rune fangs is the Bloodbringer. The blade was hidden under an ornate scabbard, which Rod could not see, but the hilt was clearly visible. Milky white throughout, legend has it that the Rusk of Rune is made of dragon teeth and bones to make the hilt, and although it is not known whether the legend is true, its magnificence can be seen at a glance.

"My Emperor. ”

Konstantin clenched his fist with one hand and bowed. Before he could finish his journey, he was stopped by the emperor himself.

"No hassle. ”

Louis Bird said, his gaze turned to the little girl behind Konstantin -

"Emmanuel, come, let me see, they've grown so tall. ”

The little girl walked shyly towards the emperor, with two transparent crimson patches on her childish face.

It can be seen that it is the most important relative of the Elector, otherwise he would not always be with him.

"It's been a long time since you've been to Aldolph, and Carl has been talking about you a lot. ”

Louis Bird joked. made the little girl even more shy. It seems that she has entered puberty, and she already knows a thing or two about the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend. I can't play with boys as freely as I did when I was a child. For Carl, a playmate when he was young, he kept a certain distance. It's just that when she was young, she may not understand the "friendship inheritance" between her parents. Marriages between royal families and nobles are common, so if a person in a high position is good to you, most of them have other purposes.

He ...... Is he okay?"

Emmanuel asked shyly.

β€œ...... Ok......"

Louis Bird paused, and immediately quippedβ€”

"You can go look for him, he misses you. If that stinky boy dares to bully you, just tell me. ”

Louis Bird made a menacing look. Emmanuel had a faint smile on his face.

"Hypocrisy. ”

Sitting next to Rod, Aryria muttered under her breath.

Rhodes could only wink at her, and the elf turned his head away in disdain.

In the next second, the emperor enthusiastically acted as an intermediary, introducing this ally from the far north to Ivey's Elector Constantine-

"Rod Lawn. Grand Duke of Kislev, Lord Protector, Grand Lord of the North......"

Louis Bird wanted to introduce more titles, but was interrupted by Konstantin.

"I've heard of you. ”

He said. The voice is loud, not at all like an elderly middle-aged man.

"The vampire ruled Kislev, and you defeated her. The populace worships you, the savior of Kislev. ”

"The savior can't talk about it. Without me, it was only a matter of time before Caterina would have been overthrown. ”

Rod replied with a smile -

"If the people's suffering is not solved, whoever becomes the tsar will be pulled out of power as well. ”

"Pavel sat on the throne in the hope that he could solve these problems. ”

Konstantin's voice deepened. From his deep gaze, Rhodes could already feel that these words were not simple, although he was thousands of miles away, the Elector of the Weisen Command seemed to have his own views and thoughts on the turbulence of the current situation in the neighboring country.

"We should believe in the year of the loved ones. ”

Rod returned with a smile.

Yes, the world will eventually belong to them, and our spirit, faith, glory and knowledge will be passed on to them. For example, my children. ”

Konstantin said with his eyes narrowed.

Rhodes knew that the middle-aged man had something to say, the strong will leave the best resources to their children, and Konstantin will leave the best resources to his children, so that the power of the family can be passed on...... Rhodes knew that he was alluding to himself, implying that his only daughter, Dennis, would also receive the inheritance. Although thousands of miles away, Konstantin already knew who the true leader of Kislev was.

While chatting, there was a sound of ding-dong footsteps at the door of the main hall.

The leading man, dressed in a lionskin coat, took off his coat as soon as he entered the hall and placed it in the hands of his attendants, revealing a velvet silk robe worn inside, with gold chains hanging from his shoulders to his waist, and a large ruby on his thick fingers. Even indoors, it is impossible to hide its dazzling brilliance.

Like Maximian and Constantine, the man wears the same rune fangs around his waist. Undoubtedly, this is also an elector of an empire. It's just that its high-profile and gorgeous appearance is really eye-catching.

"Marius Lightdorf. Ivey leads the Elector. ”

Maximian continued.

Surrounded by attendants, the proud lord walked towards the emperor. Although he also reciprocated with the same standard etiquette, in his gaze, Rhodes read arrogance and disdain.

"I have come when I heard the news, however, not to deal with the barbarians, but not to see you for too long, Louis Bird, my noble Emperor, my brother. ”

Marius raised his head and spoke loudly, so loudly that the man's voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Then you must be Rod Lawn. ”

Marius spoke to Rod in an almost affirmative tone.

For a moment, Rod couldn't stand his arrogance and arrogance. But he endured it and nodded slightly.

"Are the barbarians going to invade the Empire? And from the sea? This is the first time I've heard of it. ”

When Marius finished speaking, he burst out laughingβ€”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you guys, but this is the first time I've heard of the Norscans invading the Empire without passing through Kislev. It's incredible. ”

"Strange talk, isn't it? There are many things that surprise you. ”

Aryria couldn't help it, and shouted at the arrogant Elector. It embarrassed Emperor Louis Bird. Essentially, Aryria was his guest, but it was disrespectful to the Elector, who had real power.

But it seemed that Marius didn't mind, perhaps because of the beautiful face of the elf, and most of his anger disappeared at once.

"Tell me, what else is surprising?"

Marius asked with a smile as she stared at Aryria.

"I'll tell you when all of you are there. What we've seen along the way. I can't wait, just ask the soldiers who are on the road with me, and they'll tell you, too. ”

"The mad soldier, following a wood elf, entered the vast northern continent and encountered frost dragons and mammoths. It's crazy. ”

"Anything more crazy than this has yet to come, and it will not be long before you will see. Moreover, the power of mortals will eventually be unable to withstand this storm. ”

Rod's cold voice interrupted Elector Marius's arrogant words. The atmosphere is suddenly freezing point......
