In the mansion of Grand Duke Warren.
There was a dead silence in the room, and the subordinates dared not speak when they saw the dark face of their grandpa. They were afraid that if they didn't say a word, they would be chopped up and thrown into the sea. Anyway, the house is located on the sea, and throwing it away is environmentally friendly and fast.
Grand Duke Warren knew that something would happen this time. Almost all of his strongholds were opened, and it would be a matter of time before the things inside were sorted out and used against him.
Who did it
Furhill? No, that woman has no such guts. His Majesty the Emperor? No, the emperor has been basically a mascot since the day the Dolly League was established, and the parliament will not allow him to take power. Something old in Parliament? This is possible...but why are they attacking themselves at this time
Actually... there is another candidate.
This level of self-knowledge, this timing, this savage style—Sharena.
But even if Sharonna didn't die, she should be so injured that she couldn't get out of bed. How could she still have the strength to deal with him
Moreover, as far as he knows, Sharona has never been close to the Athanasis. Not only Sharena, but no politician on the mainland would like the Athanasis.
It's not that no one has tried to take advantage of them, but each time the results have been mixed, if not more so.
The Athanasis are too uncontrollable, and their positions are always vacillating. One second they were on your side, and the next second they turned around and defected to your opponent. Therefore, even if you want to use their power, you usually let the Athanasi people do some peripheral work, patrol or chores, and no one will let them enter their inner circle.
How dare Sharena use an Athanasi for such an important task? What's even weirder is that the Athanasi actually did it, without a single slip-up.
Or, there is someone hiding behind the scenes...
A guy who has a way of taking control of the Athanasis.
But the matter is irreversible, and there is no point in thinking about it. Sharonna will definitely take the opportunity to make a big fuss.
Grand Duke Warren made a decision in his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "Contact our people, speed up the persuasion work on other congressmen, it doesn't matter if you increase the bargaining chip, I will directly let the proposal pass the vote tomorrow morning, and then directly send troops to attack the first One sea!"
Just before Sharina got up from the hospital bed.
The meaning of this war to him is different, it is no longer simply a plunder of income, he needs this foreign war to pass on the crisis, gain more rights, and improve his reputation by the way, before he can continue to fight with Sharon If Na fights on, she won't be overthrown by the evidence in her hand.
"Yes, Your Excellency." The subordinates replied in unison, and then quickly disappeared into the room.
·
the next day.
After a sleepless night, Grand Duke Warren led his subordinates into the parliament hall.
After a night of emergency contact, the personnel on their side are already in place, and some centrists have also made it clear that they will support them. Although there are still some who are unclear, Grand Duke Warren has already obtained the support of half of the people, and there is no doubt about this part. So important.
Time passed little by little, and it was time for the morning meeting.
Grand Duke Warren looked around the parliament hall, but he didn't see Sharina, and even Fusier didn't come.
He couldn't help showing a sneer, even if Sharonna got the evidence, so what? She couldn't sort it out in one night, and according to the reports from the killers, Sharona was seriously injured, and she didn't dare to invite a doctor or a white mage with great fanfare. Her injuries would never heal in such a short period of time.
Grand Duke Warren was about to stand up and be the first to put forward his own proposal. He didn't want to wait any longer. Time is a variable. The faster it is, the better everything will be for him.
Just then, the door of the council hall opened.
Everyone couldn't help but looked in the direction of the gate, but was surprised to see Duke Sharina who moved freely. Wearing the duke's fine attire, she stepped into the door of the parliament hall with graceful steps, without any reluctance in her gestures, her complexion was rosy, and there seemed to be stars shining in her eyes, without any sense of disobedience after a serious injury.
Those present are all the real power executives of the Dolly Alliance. Of course, they are very clear about what happened recently, and they even know who did it very well, but sometimes they have to pretend to be confused. But at this moment, the person who was rumored to be on the front line of life and death actually appeared intact, how could it not be shocking? !
Facing the wide-eyed eyes of everyone, Duke Sharina walked towards Grand Duke Warren with a smile.
Just when the Grand Duke Warren thought she would say something to taunt him, he saw Duke Sharina just glanced at him, and then walked straight to the rostrum of the parliament.
not good!
Grand Duke Warren instantly understood what this guy wanted to do, and he quickly said, "Everyone, I have a proposal—"
At this time, Duke Sharona had already walked to the podium quickly. The smile on her face did not change, and she said, "It just so happens that I also have a proposal."
Grand Duke Warren suppressed his anger: "Sharena!"
Duke Sharona's tone was gentle, she looked around: "I recently reached a cooperation intention with a special guest, I can guarantee that this cooperation is a great thing for you, why don't you listen to me first ?”
Hearing that, everyone in the audience looked different. The Duke of Sharina seems to be full of confidence today. She should be very clear about what the Duke of Warren's proposal will be. She is still so confident. Is there really any new changes
In an instant, the atmosphere in the parliament became a little more subtle.
A congressman stood up and said with a smile: "Since Your Excellency the Duke came to power first, according to the rules, she should be the one who made the proposal first."
This remark aroused the echo of many people. The Duke of Warren glanced at them, and they were basically from Sharina’s side, but there were also a few centrists who had been ambiguous towards him before. There must be something going on down there.
After all, it was just a speaking order, and Grand Duke Warren couldn't hold on to it, so he could only sit down for the time being.
But when he looked at Sharina's smile, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, as if he was standing beside the abyss, and Sharina was approaching him step by step with a sharp dagger.
Duke Sharona said: "I discussed with Clerk Hesse that Hesse will reach a purchase agreement with the Dolly Alliance in the next development."
As soon as this remark came out, the members below couldn't help being taken aback.
Hesse? That Hesse that no one has been able to get in for hundreds of years? ?
Since the establishment of their Dolly Alliance, they have opened up trade routes in almost the whole continent, including the dangerous land of no man, and their forces have infiltrated.
But only Hesse, here is like a piece of soil where commerce cannot take root. After hundreds of years, it is still possible to obtain a little material quietly through adventurers, let alone even thinking about selling things. Even if the trade zone was opened recently, it is basically based on personal transactions, which cannot satisfy the appetite of a boss of their level at all.
Now, Hessen actually wants to directly cooperate with the Dolly Alliance? ! It's still such a big deal!
There are many things needed to build a region, and if a purchase agreement is reached, how many coveted benefits will there be! Many people were already moved, and the whispers in the audience continued.
As for the fear of the undead...
In the face of the temptation of money, it is not so important.
The Duke of Sharona was very satisfied with their response, and she added: "In addition, Hesse's trade zone is also preparing to plan the second phase, and the clerk promised to arrange an exclusive area for the Dori Alliance. There will be tax incentives.”
As for who is eligible to enter the exclusive area, the Duke of Sharona knows everyone without saying anything. Of course, she will give priority to the people on her side.
At this moment, many centrists have already begun to figure out how to get closer to Duke Sharina. There were also some people who had only sworn in the early morning that they would support Grand Duke Warren. At this time, their eyes also began to wander, obviously because they had little things in their hearts.
As for Archduke Warren's proposal
Things like war are time-consuming and labor-intensive, so they need to be carefully considered. Moreover, our army is used to defend the country, how can it be used to fight around? Moreover, the Yuan Clan is also a former ally of the Xiyue Clan, how can we be so ruthless
The Grand Duke of Warren's heart sank. He observed the expressions of the people around him. Sharona's side was obviously elated, but most of the centrists were shaken, including those who had fallen to his side before.
But the most irritating thing is that some people who originally belonged to the Warren side have become ambiguous at this time, obviously having other plans!
Duke Sharona looked at the crowd, and raised the corners of his lips. It seemed that there was no need to continue arguing about the attitude towards the Yuan Clan. Now these people are not in the mood to start a war. All they think about is how to get a ride on the trade with Hesse. Naturally, they will no longer oppose her proposal. Most of them look at her with eager eyes. Yes, full of expectations.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Duke Sharina clapped her hands in the air, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
After the hall became quiet again, she finally turned her attention back to Grand Duke Warren, and delivered the most fatal blow: "May I ask your Excellency, Grand Duke Warren, in the Dolly Alliance, to privately cultivate the hybrids of the Xiyue clan and treat them as slaves What kind of crime is trafficking?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the waves even surpassed the previous cooperation with Hessen.
They can be profiteers all over the continent, and they can attack the Yuan clan without conscience, but they are raised and sold as slaves. This is the heaviest, most shameful, and most unforgettable pain of the Xiyue clan for thousands of years. The bottom line that the human race will never tolerate, even the human race present knows this.
Now, there is actually a Xiyue clan who dares to touch this bottom line!
Grand Duke Warren's face paled in an instant. He numbly watched the high-spirited Duke of Sharina listed his evidence one by one on the stage. He felt that every word just passed by his ears, but none of them entered his brain.
It's over, he has no chance at all.
Why isn't Sharona dead? Why is she moving so fast
It turned out that Hessen was helping her behind the scenes, but why did the clerk help Sharina
Obviously he almost won, only a little bit, but it was all destroyed in the hands of Hessen's clerk, maybe he shouldn't be here today, he should just defect to the land of no man...
·
At this time Xiao Zhi was taking Teague home to pack his things.
Duke Sharona is a very straightforward collaborator. In order to show her sincerity in cooperation, she gave the Barry Requiem Stone to Xiao Zhi without hesitation.
The Bari Requiem Stone looks pitch-black, with pits and pits on the outside, so ordinary that it's unbelievable, but the moment he got it, Xiao Zhi seemed to hear the wailing of countless dead souls. Like the soul of a person. Fortunately, there is a white box outside, as long as the box is covered, this effect can be completely isolated. Thinking about it, this box alone is worth a lot.
Teague has a lot of real estate in Hilaris, and he will not be able to sell it for a while, so he can only put it away. Anyway, now that Hessen has contacts with the Dolly Alliance, he is not worried that his house will be taken away because he has become an undead. .
He handed over the 10 million that Xiao Zhi had deposited with him to Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi said to him: "If you have anything you don't want to part with, just take it with you. It won't be so easy to come back in the future."
Even if the Dolly Alliance cooperates with Hesse in the future, the mainland residents' fear of the undead will not be eliminated in a short while, and Teague is a war scum, Xiao Zhi dare not let him come back to see it alone.
Teague searched the room, and finally took only a necklace in a dark compartment under the bed.
The necklace looked old, ornate and ancient, with a delicately carved sagebrush surrounded by precious stones.
Xiao Zhi was a little puzzled: "Aren't you going to take the money?"
He thought that Teague's obsession with money was enough to overcome the barrier of life and death.
Teague smiled helplessly: "I have no money, and I have spent all I earned before. Buying gifts for ladies is very expensive, not only must be of high value, but also be topical, and it is best to be unique , allowing them to show off to their heart's content, and the cost is not small every time."
He looked at his home with no valuables, and said with a bit of self-mockery in his tone: "I exchanged more than half of the proceeds this time for Mrs. Irina's gifts, and the rest became custom-made dresses, so I have the opportunity Followed her into the Duke of Sharina's party. I was thinking of getting recommendations from several dignitaries, but who knows... it killed me... "
Teague gently stroked the necklace in his hand: "This is the badge of my family. We used to be a powerful family in the parliament. Unfortunately, it has been down for nearly a hundred years. I thought I could let it be in the Dolly League again. It's shining, it seems that there is no chance."
Xiao Zhi comforted him: "After you arrive in Hesse, you can hang it in your office, as shiny as you want, and anyone who comes to see you will be able to see it."
Teague said with a surprised smile: "Is this okay... That's in the office. According to the rules, the family badge cannot occupy the work area."
Xiao Zhi: "It's okay, most of the undead people don't understand what this is, and, anyway, you won't be able to reproduce the family anymore, just treat it as a souvenir."
Teague: "..."
I felt a pain in my heart, just like when someone opened a big hole for the first time.
After tidying up, Xiao Zhi threw Teague a teleportation stone from the trade area, and before sending it, he specifically told Teague not to reveal what they had done in the past few days.
Teague expressed his understanding, after all, it was the secret of the bosses.
·
At this time, several players huddled in the corner of Hilaris, observing the surrounding situation, and prepared to run away if the situation was not good, but the surroundings were always calm, which made them feel a little confused.
"I thought I was going to be wanted?"
"Yeah, I participated in Qianye Lan's rebellion before, and I was locked up for several days. I thought it would be the same this time, but why are you okay?"
"Do you know what this means?"
"What?"
"It means that we are in the right position this time! You think, if Qianye Lan's rebellion succeeds, the participants will definitely not be arrested, right? Similarly, if the side that issued the mission to us this time loses, we will They will be caught, and we will be fine if they win."
"Yes!"
"You are really smart!"
"Since it's all right, how about having a meal to celebrate? I'm treating you!!"
·
Back in Hessen, Xiao Zhi first notified Brother Wei Di that he could withdraw, and then the two exchanged the latest situation.
After that, he went to the government affairs center first, and temporarily handed Teague over to Milton, saying that he was a newly discovered talented undead.
Teague had no political experience before and didn't know much about Hesse's situation. Let him follow the experienced Milton first, just to learn while adapting to Hesse's customs and customs, and he can give him a hundred years of living in Hesse Milton's science popularizes the recent situation on the mainland and the situation of the Dolly League.
Milton was also happy to finally have a helper.
By the way, he gave Milton the list of players who had contributed to the hidden mission before, and then told him that he would build the Emblem of the Long Night within three days. Xiao Zhi hurriedly left the trade zone.
Xiao Zhi felt more nervous the closer he got to the Palace of Skeletons. After so much trouble, he finally got the Barry Requiem Stone!
The Palace of Skeletons was still the same, Xiao Zhi quietly avoided other people, came to the Hall of Bones, and greeted Lance who was guarding the door: "Lance."
From this expression and tone, Lance judged that this was Xiao Zhi himself. Seeing that the clerk himself had returned, his tone couldn't hide his excitement: "Got it?"
Xiao Zhi nodded: "Well, how is Eugene?"
Lance said, "Fortunately, as long as you don't go to him, he seems to be quite relaxed."
Under Lance's leadership, Xiao Zhi found Eugene.
There is still a paper bag over Eugene's head, but it has changed from the scallion-flavored Chiba dew to the sour dina sap flavor. But this didn't affect his movements. Eugene seemed to be much more relaxed than on the first day. I don't know if the Hall of Bones is empty all year round, which makes Eugene, who has a fear of showing his face, feel a relaxed relationship.
Then the three went to the room where Frost was.
Frost was still lying quietly, surrounded by a magic circle exuding a milky white halo, and within the magic circle, wisps of white mist were blending into his body, helping him to resist the evil in his head. Erosion of energy.
Xiao Zhi handed the box containing the Barry's Requiem Stone to Eugene, and after Eugene got it, he was full of praise for the Barry's Requiem Stone: "Well, this appearance, this texture, is really perfect..."
As he said that, he happily set up the magic circle.
This time the magic circle is much more complicated than the previous one, with many more dazzling structures. Eugene is worthy of being a top white mage, the movement of drawing the magic circle is not too fast, the movement is smooth, and there is no hesitation at all.
Following his movements, Xiao Zhi could feel the energy overflowing from the magic circle in front of him.
After the magic circle was completed, the whole body exuded a faint light, not the milky white as seen before, but gray with a hint of ominous death. But for the undead, such energy is far more comfortable than the white energy from the natural environment.
Eugene breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew... the power of Barry's requiem stone and Darya's death energy crystallization will help him dispel that energy, making the memory fragments less disturbing to him, and he will be able to wake up after he realizes the dream he is in. woke up."
Xiao Zhi looked at the ignorant Frost and asked, "How long will it take?"
Eugene made a calculation: "According to his physique, it will take less than half a day to—"
Before his words fell, Frost's originally calm brows suddenly frowned, as if he felt very painful, and then there was a painful muffled sound in his mouth, as if he was experiencing some painful torment.
Xiao Zhi looked at Youjin, pressed the hand that he wanted to greet directly with a fireball, and told himself that he should be a family member of the patient with a peaceful mind and not make trouble with the doctor.
He tried to calm down his tone: "Mr. Eugene, can I trouble you to explain?"
Although the clerk's tone sounded calm, Eugene could still feel the murderous intent in the air.
Feeling cold on Eugene's back, he quickly reached out to check the patient's condition.
After a while.
Eugene's tone was a little cautious: "Well... this Barry's requiem stone has relatively strong power, which caused a little unnecessary effect..."
Xiao Zhi's eyebrows under the white gauze raised slightly: "So?"
Eugene: "By the way, the power of Barry's Requiem Stone broke through the magic circle that he originally carried on his body... Just a little bit, the magic circle seems to be a seal, sealing... a lot of memories..."
Xiao Zhi clenched his fists tightly: "Say the conclusion."
Eugene thought about how to express it euphemistically for a while, but found that there was no way to be euphemistic, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "There are more memory fragments that interfere with him, and it becomes more difficult to get rid of it."
Xiao Zhi: "..."
He suddenly wanted to apologize to Grand Duke Warren, and now he understood how Grand Duke Warren felt at that time. Although I knew it was caused by the uncertain factor of the magic circle behind me, I still really wanted to hit someone...
Even Lance next to him exuded murderous aura.
The experience of escaping from the dead is crazily guiding Eugene, hurry up and say something, otherwise you will officially join the undead clan! ! ! ! !
At the critical moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in Eugene's mind: "Why don't you go in and help him?"
Xiao Zhi turned to him: "Can it go in the brain?"
Eugene said: "Yes, yes... You can empty your mind and enter a meditation state, and then I will connect the energy of the magic circle to you, and you can use the power of the magic circle to walk into his dream, but in the dream you You can't use any magic, you lose your existing powers, and you feel like a normal person."
Xiao Zhi didn't hesitate: "Okay, what should I do after entering?"
Eugene said: "You have to walk along the energy of the magic circle, remember, you must follow the energy, otherwise you will get lost, and then you need to find his consciousness in the dream, and then try to bring his consciousness to the magic circle. The energy center of the formation, wake him up, let him realize that this is a dream. But dreams are dangerous, if you get lost together, you will never wake up again."
Xiao Zhi asked: "Will my entry have a bad influence on him?"
Eugene spread his hands: "That depends on which side you are helping..."
What if the clerk is actually an undercover agent
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Just beat this guy up.
