Chapter 36: The Battle
"You said you needed an item left behind by the Phantom Feather Serpent, preferably flesh or scales?"
Earl Horn frowned, looking at Iren who found him, he pondered for a while, and said lightly: "It's an item related to the old gods, it's very dangerous, and it doesn't have anything for you, but what are you going to do with it?" ”
"Just some curiosity, that's all."
Eren looked at his father calmly.
Earl Horn pondered for a moment and said, "You have obtained a lot of resources from the family recently, and it is not in accordance with the rules to give you this. ”
"What does Father mean?"
Yiren's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he secretly complained in his heart, not in accordance with the rules? Are you a good person, you tell me this, and I deserve it!
But he vaguely guessed something, so he didn't rush it, but waited for Earl Horn to say what was going on.
Earl Horn looked at him with such a calm look, and the corners of his mouth appeared a faint curvature, but he quickly became expressionless again, and he said: "Everything you give, there should be a reward, and you have taken so many things, it is time for me to see your growth." ”
He took out an open envelope from his sleeve, handed it to Iren, and said, "And you should have the idea of revenge, right?" ”
Ilyen took the envelope, took out the letter inside, and looked at it.
When he saw the contents of the letter, his gaze became a little dark.
He looked at it for a moment, folded it, and sighed softly, "Father, you have a problem for me, prophet of the remnants of Credor, that is a great man, isn't it?" I don't think you're going to let me kill this prophet, I think you might as well wait a hundred years in this matter. ”
The letter is the Grand Duke of the North Sigoa. A message from Acmonton, mentioning that the location of the prophet of the remnants of Credor had been found by him.
Iren was not surprised that the Archduke of the North was able to find the prophet of the remnants of Credor, although the prophet undoubtedly had the ability to prophesy, but he had previously talked to the daughter of the Archduke of the North. During the conversation with Acquemonton, he also learned that the Grand Duke possessed the same prophecy-like powers in the Northlands, so if the prophet had come to the Northlands, it would not have been a surprise that he had been discovered.
"Eron, among my descendants, you are the only one who dares to joke with me."
"When the seeker of more meets the seeker, and the seeker is like you, who can control his emotions and has majesty, the seeker will inevitably be in awe."
"Why, are you not seeking in me? Martell should have reached out to you, right? ”
"I may or may not have it, I have it, but not much, so I have a lot of respect for you, but now I really have something to fear you, and let me attack the prophet of the remnants of Credor, are you not satisfied with my attitude? In fact, it is not impossible to change. ”
Earl Horn suddenly chuckled, looked at Elen, and said, "Hahaha, you clever little guy, and you also know what is necessary and what is not necessary. ”
He shook his head and said, "Your other brothers and sisters are deeply involved in this, they think that if they get a knighthood, they can get status, and if they have the background of Okmus, they can equal to having great strength, but in fact, what is this?" ”
"I don't want to improve myself, but I have been trying to win over more people, and I have devoted my heart to the struggle at the political level, do I choose people to see who is behind them?"
"Oh, maybe they even plan to learn from me if the title falls into the hands of someone else."
A hint of self-deprecation appeared on Earl Horn's face, but he didn't say anything more, and became indifferent and calm again.
Eren just listened quietly, he looked at Earl Horn indifferently, he couldn't even tell if his emotional exposure was deliberate, maybe it was sincere, it was a simple reminder, or it was to see if it could stimulate his ambitions.
Who knows? Perhaps after saying these words, Earl Horn's mind changed.
"Don't worry, this is an apology from the Grand Duke of the North, he is a rule-abiding person, and of course the most unruly. He took advantage of you in the previous incident, so he kept an eye on the Credotes after you were poisoned, so that the Prophet of Credor could be discovered. ”
"All you need to do is go get rid of some of the little mice around him."
"And in the process, don't worry about anything else, I know the power of the Grand Duke, who can protect your fate from being seen by the Prophet Credor."
"As for the prophets of Credot......"
Earl Horn paused when he said this, and there were some slight fluctuations in his expression, as if he was a little emotional, and he sighed lightly: "The core members of the Northern Council have already known about this matter, so the prophet of Clidor will definitely die." ”
Yi Lun was shocked in his heart, the existence of the Northland Council, there is no Northland nobles who do not know, among them there are thirteen core members, one duke, three marquises, seven counts, and two viscounts, this is not all the nobles in the Northland, but each core member has a place that surpasses other nobles.
The Northland Council is an organization that has been handed down from ancient times in the Northlands, and the core members of it are not accessible by virtue of their titles, but must have the strength that can be recognized by other nobles, and every resolution passed by the Northland Council can affect the Northland, and can mobilize the power used by the Northland.
But this Northland council hasn't been moved for a long time.
This may be due to the existence of the royal family of Ion, so the Northland Council has even faintly become a legend in nursery rhymes in recent years, and even whether the members have changed is not known to outsiders.
One duke, three marquises, seven counts, two viscounts, these thirteen surnames and titles, it is funny to say, Iren, a member of the authentic Northland Council family, all know from nursery rhymes.
For example, after Okmos came to the Northlands, he replaced a family and became a core member, and for countless years, the Northland Council has remained unchanged in the iron-clad position of the thirteen members.
"It doesn't really have much to do with you, does it...... To be honest, the Grand Duke of the North was also surprised, the remnants of Credor, but they were going to do a lot of things, and it seemed that they had finally endured enough of being enslaved by demons. ”
Earl Horn said quietly.
Ilyen asked, "What are they going to do?" Break free from the grip of demons? ”
"No, they intend to go one step further and become real demons, not slaves left by demons in this world." Earl Horn said lightly: "They are searching for all existences that have divine blood or are favored by the gods, and the poisoner wanted your corpse in the first place, and I think there is a reason for this." ”
"For specific things, I have communicated with other letters of the Grand Duke of the West, and I have a general understanding of what the remnants of Clidor are going to do, which is nothing more than to prepare some filthy rituals like the sacrifice of the will of the abyss, and then transform themselves into demons, after all, it is better to be a master than a slave."
"It's just that they came to the Northland to do this, and they still don't know why."
When Earl Horn said this, he didn't say much about this, but with a slight movement of his fingers, the letter in Iren's hand flew back into the sleeve of his robe, and he said lightly: "Prepare well, I will tell you some information about the credors who have infiltrated, take their lives, and prove yourself with blood." ”
"And after that, you'll naturally get what you want."
With that, he closed his eyes.
Eren was speechless, did this mean to let yourself out? My dear father, are you talking too much and running out of fuel?
He complained silently in his heart, and then Shi Li left.
He didn't expect that he was just going to see if he could get something related to the Phantom Feather Light Serpent from Earl Horn, after all, his relationship with Willard was quite awkward, but now it seemed that it was better to go to Willard......
Of course, Iren also understands that looking at Earl Horn's attitude, even if he doesn't look for him, I'm afraid he will come to him.
Alas, forget it......
Killing people isn't a big deal.
And when I come back this time, I will also change back to Okmos Academy, solve the people to be killed as soon as possible, and then come back to solve the things to be done in the Northland as soon as possible.
In the next two days, Eren did not stay in his room or have afternoon tea with his friends, but after finding his cousin Chris, after telling him what he was going to do, in Chris's excited eyes of "You finally got the hang of it, understand that money is the truth", he resisted the urge to beat this kid and began to prepare more for the Chamber of Commerce.
In business, start-up capital is the most important, and he naturally will not simply use his own money.
He still has a lot of connections, thanks to the habit of tea parties, he has a lot of young aristocratic friends, and Iren has been lobbying them for the past two days, telling them about his plans for the Chamber of Commerce, so that many young nobles have invested money.
Naturally, it was impossible for Iren to share with these young nobles the tracked cars and trains, an industry that was about preempting the transportation of their own Warcraft.
However, a series of products such as Blue Star Papermaking, which replaces alchemy paper, are naturally best used as stepping stones to the market.
And he himself only intends to open the time first, and does not care about this part of the etiquette, he can shuttle through the future, and he understands very well that the things that can make money are too big, and the exchange of interests can produce greater benefits.
Only entangled in their own capital, such a start is too slow.
So he has been walking around the surrounding territory for the past two days, and even ushered in the surprised eyes of many people.
"The Lord of Protection, Iren, you actually left the house?"
"Look, Ilyon, the dragon of the Northland, is here!"
"My dear brother Thomas, look at this big brother you have never met, he is the new legend of the Northlands, Elen the Dragon of the Northlands! He's the nemesis of all evil...... By the way, Iron, I've heard that the Lord of the Sanctuary wants to give you some kind of honor, saying that it is because of you that you have made the Northlands less dark. ”
“……”
Ellen was silently talking about things, accepting the teasing of his friends.
For the nickname of the dragon of the Northland, I can't bear to look at it directly, is this something that an ordinary star rank mage can afford?
You're really not hurting me, are you?
And the Church of the Lord of Asylum is annoying! When he learned that the initiator, and even the nickname of the dragon of the Northland, had been passed on by a bishop named Xiu Inx, Iren was immediately tired.
The bishop, who had the demeanor of a mercenary and whose former profession was also said to be the patron of mercenaries, was still very impressed.
This one, which was full of harvest but full of tired walking, stopped when Earl Horn found him.
……
The north wind was howling in the sky, the snow was falling, and a man in a black robe stood in front of the door of a dark and abandoned church.
She pushed the door open, and the smoke from the shop made him cough slightly.
When she walked into the church, her face changed instantly.
She immediately wanted to turn around, but the door behind her was gone.
The church was dark, but there were more than a dozen masks floating in the air, and when the gate was a child, there were some strange sounds around it, like a lullaby, and like a faint wind blowing through the wooden windows, like a blow to people's hearts.
"Bastard!"
A cold voice came from under the black robe, and the black-robed man took out a short knife and swung it violently, and a purple magic light blade shredded a large number of masks.
But the next moment, the fragments of the mask vanished in mid-air, like hallucinations, and a new one emerged from the air.
"Ma'am, you're so angry, why don't you embrace death?"
A hoarse voice popped up.
A large number of crows suddenly poured out from all directions of the dark church and pounced on the black-robed people, who swung their short knives again and again, killing a large number of crows.
When the crows are killed.
A black cloak suddenly appeared in the air, and as it unfolded, a large number of crows flew out of it, circling around the cloak, and the cloak moved towards the woman, and the crows followed part of it to re-enter the cloak, and an illusory black shadow emerged.
As the crows continued to enter, the black shadow became more solid, and there seemed to be an invisible floor in the sky, making a crisp stampede sound.
Click, click, click......
When he was halfway through, the black-robed man finally couldn't help but move.
……
There was a sudden fluttering sound behind her, a large number of crows emerged from her shadow, a cold hand pressed on her shoulder, cold sweat instantly gushed out and rolled forward subconsciously, and then quickly turned over and got up
When she looked up again, she saw for first sight a few black crow feathers landing at the feet of a man.
This is a strange man wearing a white half-face mask, wearing a black suit, and a cloak behind him that is as deep as the night. It seemed that an invisible distortion was attached to his body, and the exposed eyes glowed with a cold pale white light, as cold as a beast.
He just looked at her quietly, without saying a word, as if admiring his prey.
