-75- The eternal sleep of the gods
"Blood Demon Order! Zachary! You've taken refuge in the Blood Demon Order! ”
Looking at the iconic Demon Eye mask, Count Jurst was shocked and furious.
The Bloodborne captain looked away unnaturally and stepped aside with the rest of the crew, making way for the way.
In the sky, the majestic black dragon slowly descended to the deck, its body shrinking.
The black-robed Blood Demon Cultist leapt off the dragon's back and slowly walked up to Count Jurst, who had completely lost his strength, and looked at him condescendingly.
The scarlet eyes were a little playful, and the voice under the mask was slightly hoarse:
"Yurst Ness, one of the four generations of the Ness Clan, an earl."
"One of the ten dukes of the Ness clan - a close associate of the Duke of Yorok, and the person directly responsible for the Return to the Star Project, however...... But because he is obsessed with the study of magical inscriptions, he often acts as a shopkeeper, so that the bloodlines who carry out the plan to return to the stars fight separately, and the efficiency is touching......"
Listening to the other party reveal all his old bottoms, Yulst's face was blue and white.
He gritted his teeth and said angrily:
"Shadet's bastard! Meddling in my Ness's affairs, is it trying to provoke a war?! ”
The Blood Demon Cultist chuckled and said:
"Provoke a war? Oh, of course not. ”
"More precisely, my dear Earl, we are Shedets...... Apparently he is also an ally of Ness! ”
As he spoke, he licked his lips under the mask, and a layer of heat was stained in the child's hole:
"I've never had a Blood Servant of the Earl level, and today ...... Maybe you'll be able to give it a try. ”
After finishing speaking, I saw the Blood Demon Cultist gently raise his right hand and raise a black scepter, and the dark red light gradually condensed on the staff.
Feeling the pressure and power that came from the bloodline, Count Jurst's expression changed slightly.
However, just as the Blood Demon Cultists were about to release their spells, Bloodline Captain Zachary stepped forward and stood in front of Jurst:
"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, Your Excellency the Duke has an order, how to deal with the conservatives is an internal matter of the Ness bloodline, even if we cooperate, Schedite must not interfere, let alone use the Staff of Blasphemy on my Ness!"
The Blood Demon Cultist's movements stopped, and the scarlet gaze looked at him fixedly, and only after a moment did he chuckle:
"Since it is the order of the Duke, then I will naturally obey it, this Earl...... Leave it to the Duke to try the new Scepter. ”
With that, he slowly withdrew his scepter and glanced at Jurst with some pity.
Duke...... My lord?
Jurst was stunned.
A faint light flashed in his mind, and a familiar figure faintly appeared.
Jurst's expression changed slightly.
He wanted to say something, but the side effects of the mental force field injury made him more and more dizzy, and even the phantom poison in his body completely exploded with the weakening of his strength.
Eventually, he fainted......
……
Jurst didn't know how long he had been unconscious.
By the time he woke up, the mental pain had ended, and the phantom poison in his body had disappeared.
Remembering the attack he had received before he fell unconscious, Jurst quickly sat up, and found himself in a dimly lit room.
"You're awake."
An old, gentle voice rang out, attracting Yulst's attention.
He looked up and saw an old man in a noble robe sitting behind a desk not far away by candlelight, looking at the parchment scroll in his hand.
The shadows obscured the old man's appearance, and Jurst couldn't see the other man's face clearly, but in the candlelight, he could see the parchment scroll on the desk.
It was nothing else, it was his half-written handwriting when he was on the ship!
Yurst looked stunned, and hurriedly reached out and touched his arms.
Sure enough, the handwriting he had kept in his arms, the communication crystal that kept him in daily contact with Duke Joroc, and the storage equipment for daily necessities and magical equipment were all gone.
"Don't look for it anymore, I've put away all your things, of course, if you cooperate, I'll return it to you soon."
The old man slowly put down the parchment roll and said calmly.
The candlelight flickered slightly, illuminating his appearance behind the parchment.
And after seeing his appearance clearly, Count Jurst's expression suddenly changed.
Because it was none other than one of the Elder Elders of the Ness Clan, another more ancient third-generation blood duke who did not deal much with Duke Yoroc on weekdays - Maxim Ness.
"Elder Masim?! It's you! ”
"You...... Sure enough, you didn't give up your cooperation with the Blood Demon Order! ”
"What the hell do you want to do? They kidnapped me...... Are you going to break with Lord Yoroc once and for all?! ”
Count Jurst said angrily.
Elder Masim gave him a smug look and chuckled:
"Huh, rupture? I've never had a good relationship with Yoroc, so why break up? ”
"Then why did you attack me? Aren't you afraid of attracting the wrath of the Great Elder when the United Blood Demon Cult attacks the bloodlines of your own race?! Sabotage the negotiation plan between Lord Duke and Castel, are you going to ruin the plan to return to the stars! ”
Count Jurst continued to speak angrily.
Elder Masim chuckled and said:
"Jurst, you don't have to trap me, I have more time to lift the lid of the coffin than you have been asleep combined, put away your tentative thoughts, the name of the Great Elder can't suppress me."
"As for ruining the Returning Star Project...... Hehe, it's Yorok who will ruin Project Returna and Ness, and as for me...... It's a serious consideration for Ness's future. ”
"Hmph, negotiate with Castel, it's up to him to come up with it! It's really going back more and more, and I will pin my hopes on an ethereal, unbelievable 'god' who doesn't know if it's true or not! ”
Jurst's eyes widened:
"You...... Crazy? All of Lord Yoroc's actions have been approved by the Council of Elders, and have been observed by the Great Elders! ”
"You...... Are you questioning the Council of Elders, questioning the Great Elders?! ”
Elder Maxim glanced at him and said meaningfully:
"Oh? The Great Elder's Observation? ”
"Jurst, let me tell you a secret that even your Lord Duke doesn't know."
"Our Great Elder, it has been nearly five hundred years since we heard the voice of the gods."
"Success is also a god scroll, defeat is also a god scroll, as a god scroll, he ...... In fact, there is no longer the power to observe. ”
Grand Elder...... There is no more power to observe?
No! Wait a minute...... Great Elder, he hadn't heard the voice of a god in hundreds of years?!
Jurst's eyes widened.
As if thinking of something, his face gradually turned pale.
Seeing his appearance, Elder Masim said meaningfully:
"Looks like you've thought of it."
"That's right...... I am afraid that the gods we serve have fallen into a true 'eternal sleep'. ”
