The Holy Kingdom, within the royal capital;

At this time, many people gathered in groups at the gate of the royal capital, and the recent Holy Kingdom was very lively, with heavy news almost every day;

The most crucial of these is that the Holy Kingdom has signed an alliance with the Scarlet Empire, which recently declared war;

At first, no one would believe this oath, and in their opinion, the most 'powerful' divine kingdom in the Federation did not need any covenant, let alone an orc empire;

But as time passed, their king, Karl III, not only did not come forward to explain the incident, and then another news broke;

Someone brought back news from the frontline battlefield, in fact, many days ago, the imperial army sent an army led by Aguta, who was beheaded by the orc generals on the first day of the declaration of war;

And the reason why it has not been known to the public, it is rumored that all this is headed by the Grand Duke of Cork and others, blocking this news, and there is even more exciting news that His Majesty Karl III has been subject to the Duke of Cork;

This news instantly detonated the whole country, although Karl III did not do anything substantial for the Holy Kingdom, but their ancestor was Houston, a great leader who founded the Commonwealth;

It is also because of this that the ruler of the Holy Kingdom, a derivative of the Holy Federation, will always be succeeded by the Houston family, and the best one will inherit the throne.

Under such circumstances, the Mercenary Guild, the Tower of Truth, and the Church, the three major forces jointly issued a statement that they had previously entered the Scarlet Empire to investigate the Blood Corpse and Crimson Warcraft incidents, which had now been verified and had nothing to do with the Scarlet Empire;

As for the existence of the blood-colored gem-blood essence, it is because there is a magical tower in the blood-colored empire, the blood-colored trial tower, in which there is not only the existence of blood essence, but also various substances that are beneficial to physical and spiritual strengthening;

In order to make up for the détente between the Scarlet Empire and the Federation, a league interaction will be held in the near future to elect suitable candidates to participate in the Scarlet Empire's competitive exchanges;

After that day, the mercenary union held a selection competition, which was open to all young mercenaries aged 18~24 in China, as long as their strength did not exceed the great sword master, they could participate in the selection, and 300 people were finally elected;

At the same time, the Tower of Truth made a similar selection, in which the Magic Tower recruited 100 people, and the same is true for the Church, and the number of people selected was also 100;

Just today, these elected teenagers, under the leadership of the tripartite forces, went to the Scarlet Empire for league exchanges, so the people in the royal capital came to the city gate to watch;

"Have you heard, there are several great sword masters who were elected this time, and it is said that they are only 20 years old!"

"No, it's said that the Tower of Truth is the same, and several seeded players were sent out at once, and I heard that they were all magicians. ”

"Why do you attach so much importance to the society, magician, after cultivating for a period of time, maybe a few great magicians will be born, and the Tower of Truth is actually willing to give up?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the surrounding onlookers all nodded, magic is full of mystery for everyone, and it is also very scarce, this time the action of the Tower of Truth exceeded everyone's expectations;

It was just a simple exchange and interaction, and it was actually sent so many magicians, and it was such a young magic seed;

As the question was raised, others soon chimed in and raised their own doubts;

"Isn't it, you know, the next magic contest is about to start again!"

"Yes, at this time, the Tower of Truth actually released these seed players directly, aren't you afraid of losses?"

"It seems that the position of the 'Tower of Truth' will change again in the next session!"

You must know that in the history of magic learning, although the Tower of Truth is a sacred place that many magicians yearn for, every once in a while;

Magical forces from different parts of the continent will come to challenge and shake the Tower of Truth in the hearts of all magicians, and eventually replace it;

"Ahem, you don't know about you people, some time ago, there was a magic shock from the Tower of Truth, do you know the reason?"

At this time, an old man in a magic robe in the crowd participated in the communication of everyone;

"Magical concussion? You mean that the leakage of elemental power is not a concussion caused by a failed magic forbidden spell test!"

"This is just an announcement to the public, and I didn't want to say it originally, but when I hear your conversation, it seems that you are too ignorant to say it, and my mood will become very depressed. ”

Suddenly hearing the ridicule of others, the faces of the people who were talking instantly became not particularly friendly, and some people were even ready to teach the old man in front of him a good lesson;

But in the next second, a special enchantment enveloped them, forming almost instantly, and the source of the magic power was the old man in front of him;

"The magic is instantaneous, the cohesion is boundary, it turns out that the old gentleman is a great magician, and we lost our words before!"

"It's the first time I've done it in front of people, and it seems to be working well. ”

With a chuckle, the old man immediately dispersed the magic enchantment, the identity of the great magician is very precious to the magician, let alone the ordinary people around him;

"Old man, I didn't expect you to become a great magician, and you are already so familiar with the casting of enchantments, it's really amazing!"

"It's the result of years of reading books, but I've been in the wizard realm for over 20 years. ”

"More than 20 years? How is this possible, not to say ......"

As soon as the others heard the old man say that he had stayed in the realm of magicians for more than 20 years, they were immediately very surprised, and they just wanted to say something, but when they saw the old man standing in front of them, they didn't say anything;

"Hehe, you want to say that there is a rule among magicians that if a magician stays on the magician's advancement for a longer time, the less chance he can break through, right?"

"No, no, no, Master, we're just shocking to hear this news for the first time. ”

"Yes, Master, we were just surprised. ”

............

......

"Well, you're right, even if it's me, I know that one of my apprentices gave me a fruit after returning from the Scarlet Empire, otherwise, I'm still just an administrator who guards the magic book. ”

"Fruit, Master, what do you mean ............"

"That fruit, from the Scarlet Empire?"

"Yes, it's not just me, the magic shock you felt before was that a number of magicians like me revived and advanced that night, and most of them succeeded. ”

As soon as these words came out, the others naturally understood what this league exchange with the Scarlet Empire would bring to the Tower of Truth.

Suddenly, the crowd became noisy, and not far away, a team slowly walked out, among them were very young teenagers, they were the players selected to go to the Scarlet Empire to participate in the league.

..............................................................................................................................

"Garbage, garbage, it's all a bunch of garbage!!"

In Coke Blank's study, there was a sound of smashing, accompanied by Cork's roar, and at this time, Coke's group walked towards it;

When he saw the comer, the servant who was waiting outside the door stepped forward and respectfully addressed the comer

"Marquis of Coro, are you here?"

"Hmm~, is my father still in the study?"

The man who appeared now was Cork's eldest son, a marquis of the Holy Kingdom, and just as Coro was asking, there was another sound of throwing things in the study;

"Marquis of Coro, after the lord knew about that matter, he has been in the room and has not come out until now. ”

"Then I'll just wait. ”

As the words fell, the voices in the study gradually returned to quiet, and then a calm voice came out of it;

"It's Coro, come in!"

"Yes, father. ”

When the door opened, Coro walked in, and the floor was littered with shards, many of them very precious ceramics, crystals, and even the things he saw his father's favorite were in ruins;

At this time, Cork was slumped in his chair, his hair disheveled, and he was panting heavily, apparently not soothing his mood;

"Father, let's get rid of your anger first!"

"Okay, don't say it's useless, are they back?"

"No... There was ......"

"What, this bunch of shit, it's been so long, why haven't they brought that little thing back to me!

"The people who sent out have returned, according to their investigation......"

"Say, don't be so sloppy, how can you have such a character that can reassure me and leave the family's future affairs to you. ”

"It's... Yes, according to the people we sent to investigate, they are dead. ”

After hearing what Corot had to say, Cork stood up straight from his chair;

"Who did that?"

"I don't know, but according to the environment at the time, No. 1 and they didn't have a chance to fight back, so they killed them all. ”

"How can this be, could it be that that old guy in Houston really sent someone to protect Lott in secret?"

"Father, I've already found out a little bit about what you asked me to investigate. ”

"Say!"

"According to the news that our spies from various forces have returned, this time the Mercenary Guild and the Tower of Truth have brought back a lot of strange things from the Scarlet Empire;"

"Isn't it blood spirit?

"Father, this time, they will bring back more than just blood essence, but more things, do you remember the magic shock a few days ago?"

"I know, that time I asked you to spread the news, this is just a failure to cast a magic forbidden spell, which caused the elemental power to be disordered, what's wrong, someone in the Tower of Truth has come forward?"

"Well, there is news from our people in the Tower of Truth, that night he saw that many people who stayed in the realm of magicians began to awaken collectively after swallowing a fruit full of strange colors, and most of them successfully advanced. ”

"Advance? you mean ......"

"That's right, Great Magician, not one, but several!"

After hearing the news that Corot brought, Cork could no longer keep his composure, pacing back and forth in front of his desk, Coro saw this, and Coro did not continue, he knew that his father was thinking, and he would not allow anyone else to disturb him;

After a moment, Cork stopped, his gaze slowly looking at the desk in front of him, on which was a card with a metallic sheen;

"If that's the case, we can't have it, so let's destroy it!"

"Father, what do you mean .................."

"Today, I went to see Karl III, and at first I invited a lot of people to come with me, but they all excused themselves, either they were sick or in trouble, and some of them even went back to their hometowns, even the old fellow Randeep Sith. ”

"How could the Sith General be like this, did he forget that we were tied to a rope with him?"

"Koro, don't trust other people too much, others will approach you because of interests, and they will leave you because of interests, do you know how the news of my control of Karl III leaked?"

"It's Lance, it's impossible, he's ...... after all."

"Well, I didn't believe it at first, knowing that I met Karl III, and he only said one word to me. ”

"What?"

"Randeep Sith has returned to the North due to harassment from the North's monsters. ”

He ............... Treachery... We're up...?"

"That's right, it's not just him, it's the same with Warward, his Source Stone Mine and Mana Scroll need to be sold to ensure that the Warward family doesn't decline. ”

"Father, do we need to surrender?"

When Corot said this, Cork kicked him over;

"If you could be as ruthless as me, I wouldn't be so old and have to deal with so many things, and now we have no way out, and we can't go back!"

"Since their Houston family doesn't leave us a way out, then we don't need to keep them!"

"Father... Father... Father, do you want to overthrow the Houston family? That won't work, and the people of the Holy Kingdom won't agree to it. ”

"Of course it's not going to be me doing this, I'm sure there will be people who are interested in this............"

After speaking, he reached out to the card on the table, and after a flash of light, the card actually turned into a small sparrow, with a metal-wrapped skin, which looked very stiff;

But it turned its neck nimbly and looked at Cork Blank, as if waiting for something;

"Go back, remember to bring my message back to your master, and say that I agree, as long as he gives me what he wants!"

"Click, click~ I wish us a happy cooperation!"

A human voice came from the body of the robot bird, and Coro, who was on the side, saw this scene, and was momentarily stunned, and then shouted in horror;

"Speak, Father, this ...... This...... It's a seventh-level demonic beast! Hurry up...... Come on............ People ......"

Just as Corot was about to shout, the metal bird's eyes flashed red, and a needle as thick as a hair shot him in the neck, and the next second he fainted;

Then, in a flash of silver light, it flew out the window, leaving Cork to watch the direction in which the bird flew away.

"Alchemy, I didn't expect to experience such a suppression, not only has it not disappeared, but it has also developed to such a terrifying point. ”
