Chapter 26 Eastman Kingdom
The apprentice realized that Joey had no choice, so he drove himself to Frostye Castle, which was a dense forest on the outskirts of the city, and the chaos in Four Leaf City could not even affect the outside for a while.
Even though Uriel vowed in front of Joey to kill the necromancer, the messenger probably didn't care - Sauron was right, he was just a low-ring mysterious man who had just stepped into the magic gate, and now he really needed someone to report to the actual owner of this land.
Therefore, Ulier did not hesitate too much. The complex regret and feeling of regret turned around in his heart, and the apprentice nodded: "You are also in love."
The corpse eaters controlled by the Fallen Dead are not easy to deal with. Don't die on the road. Let Bai go back to Frostye Castle again. That's too troublesome.
The alchemy ring never speaks good things.
Uriel was also used to it. He gave the guy a angrily glance. His nervousness and worry were completely destroyed, so he raised his sword and rushed to the opposite street. But when he couldn't help but turn around at the first corner, the apprentice caught the scene of the young messenger stepping into the air.
The scene of Joey disappearing outside the window on the second floor of Knox Bar suddenly broke into his mind. Uriel was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized that he was really lucky to live until now.
Was Joey also on the roof outside the window at that time?
The apprentice held the ice in his hand, and the sword ridge reflected the decaying scenery all over the city, a faint color.
He turned into an alley and came to the corpse jumping on the rubble.
Uriel did not pause or hesitate. He held the handles in both hands and flattened the sword body. He stepped on the slab and gave him strong counter-thrust force. The cold and wet air flow brushed through the wound on his cheek, and the burning shirt with flames began to stir up. Invisibly, the apprentice felt his spirit elevated, and his five senses were as clear as a water curtain. Every tendon and muscles were permeable. It was the power and speed given by magic.
The sword light and the sharp claws intertwined—
The deceased's waist seemed to have bumped into something. It hissed and retreated, and its bodies were smoothly separated along the slash line at its waist.
Uriel's steps were as good as before, and he didn't even feel the resistance brought by flesh and bones, which were as trivial as the cool breeze towards him.
At this time, even the wind was split open by the sword blade.
From Songbigrad to Frost Leaf Fort, you have to take the bus until the end. Duke Wiggins' residence is far away from the noise and does not communicate frequently. There is naturally an office in Four Leaf City - even near the detection station. However, the apprentice did not have hope for the kingdom officials in the city. The messenger told him that the acting lord of Four Leaf City had been hung on the bell tower.
But the real Siye Lord Duke was not in her territory.
Uriel walked through Songbigler and the church with his sword. He looked at the statue of Gaia in the temple and was exposed, and the fountain was covered with gravel, and he couldn't help feeling sad. Under the gaze of the goddess, the apprentice waved the sword and cut off a priest's head and legs, and beads on the ring ornament fell all over the ground.
Only Uriel discovered that this clergyman was originally a mysterious creature, and he had extremely subtle magic power, which was a completely different power from death.
Perhaps it was mercy that made him lose his life.
But this cannot be blamed for the sympathy that gives people. In the holy ruins, Uriel felt that his mind seemed to be calming down. He knew that what led to all this was the conspiracy of the Necromancer. Goodness may lead to evil retribution, but this is the fault of the evil man.
"We cannot slander the faults of the noble, just as we do not tolerate the faults of the evil one for the momentary good deeds of his evil."
He stood in front of the icon and rested, and involuntarily read the above engraving, which was Gaia's doctrine. He still symbolized virtue and kindness in Knox, and was the most widely believed deity.
"The goddess is above," said Uriel softly, "I know evil will be punished, but how can the life I have passed away be saved?"
Four-leaf City is falling, but the detection station has no response; Four-leaf Leader Grand Duke is not in the city; the secretary-general of the affairs in charge dies on the bell tower without anyone noticing it, and the Wiggins family knows nothing about the outside world... Who else can save this city?
Joey doesn't care about people's life and death - the apprentice knows that he is willing to find the culprit, and it is absolutely impossible for young people to do more.
In addition to Joey, there is also the Wiggins family.
Uriel suddenly realized what mission he was carrying, and the danger of survivors in the city was all about, and he felt his legs heavy.
The fiery red flag of Frost Leaf Fort is far away.
...
"Do you know who is the most disgusting?" The Duchess stood in front of the window, looking at the reliefs on the church wall not far away.
Behind her was Viscount Hearn. The young nobleman from Knights Bay was wearing a dark blue coat and beautiful curves of snow-white shirt with gold wire, which symbolized the waves; the cloak's chain was tied around his chest and his shoulders, and the silver buckle was shining on the cuffs and collar.
He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with no beard on his chin and his eyebrows were not thick and thick. His slightly curly brown hair was neatly combed backwards, revealing the straight bridge of his forehead and the straight nose under his forehead and deep concave eye sockets. The pair of eyes inside were covered with a trace of gray-green unique to the alien bloodline.
The young nobleman from the border coast of the Kingdom thought about it and recalled the predicament of Grand Duke Mesetori at the meeting, and couldn't help laughing. He looked at the Duke of Four Leaf Leader who looked calm and enjoyed the scenery by the window, and replied, "Arrogant and rude, arrogant and arrogant?"
Tracy snorted, "That's fine."
The duke turned around and the silver satin skirt shone in a circle. She took a step forward, and the pleats in front of her rose and fell in a very layered manner until she calmed down by the round table.
Viscount Hern looked away to avoid looking directly at the beautiful arc outlined by the lord's tight clothes.
Of course he would not forget Tracy Wiggins, the Thorn Rose of the South. In fact, she was not only the lord of the Principality of the Four Leafs, but also the lord of Venewards. Needless to say, the relationship between Queen Flevia and the Wiggins family is, Tracy is not an exaggeration to say that she is the king of the South.
The Knights Bay is just an Earl, and it was originally a member of the Oath Guardian Alliance. After the Battle of the Saints, the Naga Sea tribe abandoned land territory and returned to the deep sea. The remaining vassal states could only merge with the Eastman Kingdom and belong to Tachloe of the Sky.
In terms of status, the two are naturally incomparable, even though Viscount Hearn is Tracy's nephew and Flavia's biological offspring.
What's more, he is just an illegitimate son and has nothing to do with royal blood. The real heir to the Eastman Kingdom is King's eldest son Easter, and even his infant sister, Phylolith, is more orthodox than him.
"You are too young, DeWitt. As nobles, we cannot look at one person just because of our own joys and anger." The Duke said lightly, "So what about being arrogant? Messetori sits in the Western Frontier and controls most of the economic lifeline of the Kingdom. Of course he is qualified to be arrogant."
"What do personal likes and dislikes count in the face of tangible interests?"
Dewet Hearn remained silent. He understood this because he was born for this. Queen Frevia wanted to marry Naga's shallow sea king to gain support from the deep sea nation after the death of the former King Eastman. However, because of the serious losses of the Oath Guardian League after the Battle of Saints, she had to lead her people back to the bottom of the sea and abandon her covenant with mankind.
This is natural. Naga is a matriarchal clan after all, and the existence of the King of Shallow Sea is extremely rare. How could he give up his throne for a human woman?
Love story that is a story.
The failure of the marriage quickly deteriorated the relationship between the Eastman Kingdom and the Naga people. DeWit was born as a product of exchange of interests and was abandoned because of the collapse of the bond.
But whenever DeWitt felt irritated and painful about his life experience, he could not help but wonder, as the queen of a country, did His Majesty Frevia care about her feelings? Has she loved her husband?
In front of the entire Eastman, the former crown pearl of the Wiggins family seemed so humble.
"Then I don't know, Aunt Tracy." Dewet replied. Since personal likes and dislikes are irrelevant, he doesn't know what the meaning of this question is.
The Duchess said: "You are too insensible, and the Knights Bay needs a more wise lord."
"sorry."
"Don't apologize casually. Leaders can be slow, but they must not be weak. Keep thinking."
"A greedy person?" he tentatively said.
The grandfather of the Four-Leaf Leader looked at his nephew and felt a vague guilt. The person who led the political marriage had her, but now only Deweitt tasted the bitter fruit of failure.
Knights Bay as his destination is not a kind of exile, but the kingdom needs stability.
But this is just an excuse in itself. The stability of the kingdom is actually the stability of the parliament. In Tracy's view, there is no difference between the arrogant Grand Duke Messetori and the moderate Bishop Payton.
"That's just unreasonable..." The young man was still thinking hard.
Tracy interrupted, "You don't know the current affairs."
Dewet looked up at her.
"Duke Mesetori's vices-I know you must be impressed by him. But if you treat him as a fool, then I think everyone in Knights Bay will be very happy that their commander has no brains."
Tracy warned, and she wrinkled her nose at the same time, as if smoke had appeared in the room. Incense was lit in the corner, and no wind was blowing in outside the open window.
Dewet secretly wrote that he would not deal with the Duke of Cigarette. As for Payton, he did not believe in Goddess Gaia and had no connection with the bishop at all.
"I hate him not because of his low taste, but because of this kind of arrogant person, it is difficult for you to communicate with him, let alone reach a consensus." The Duke of Four Leaf does not care about exposing his likes and dislikes. The two have been aggrieved for a long time, and it also involves a secret of the royal family.
This matter is not complicated: since the end of the era of the former King Krokahn, the royal family's control over the power of the kingdom has reached its peak. The surrender of the Fourth Field Army has grown ambitions, and the successor Watson II took advantage of the aftermath of the Battle of the Saints to launch a war against the neighboring country Mottog.
Mottog was not a powerful country. The war ended only in Frost Moon. Eastman had more land on the West border with the Principal of Messetori. However, the war caused serious damage to the Principal of Messetori, and even the previous grand duke died in the City of Flying Eagle. The forced force of the royal family damaged the interests of the noble class and made the members of the parliament very dissatisfied.
Since then, the noble parliament has secretly connected with Bishop Payton - they have joined forces to resist Watson II's conquests everywhere, and have a strong military strategy of governing the country, accusing the king of tyranny and cruelty, and even made a request to Chloita... But obviously, the Tower of the Sky ignored the angry remarks of the nobles of the Land Country. The entire Eastman was optional to them.
Unable to bear it, the Principality of Messetori took the lead in raising an anti-flag against the royal family and declared that the sixteen counties in the west were separated from Eastman; Venewards, threatened by the snow disaster, followed closely, and His Majesty's war made the extremely dark moon of that year like a nightmare - at that time, the kingdom's war was anxious and he could not spare any effort to support the cold border frozen soil.
For a time, rebels from the Eastman Kingdom rose up everywhere, and the Blood Legion almost arrived at the Royal City. Tracy still remembered that he stood on the city wall and looked away. The mountains and fields were filled with black soldiers, lined up in the wilderness outside the city.
Messetori, the emblem of the Count of the Iceland, and even the cross-star flag of the church.
At that time, Watson II had already died in Mottog due to Messetori's counterattack, and the Naga clan, regarded as foreign aid, retreated back to the deep sea. The Sword Legion, which was loyal to the king, was also exhausted by the continuous battles... In contrast, the overturn of the royal family seemed to be overnight-
It was not until the Four Leaf led the attack on Venice and forced the Earl of Iceland to return to defend and withdraw his troops that the rebels were disarrayed and were eventually suppressed by the royal family.
So, as expected, the two sides began to discuss peace, from real wars to disputes of interests at the negotiating table.
In the end, the war came to an end with the change of the throne, Flevia ascended the throne as queen, and the Wiggins family, who supported the royal family, became enemies with the Messetori family.
