At the north end of the gloomy hall stands a majestic statue of the goddess. The goddess is wearing a linen robe, holding a cedar stick, and the other hand is naturally drooping. A giant spider is crawling at her feet. This is the goddess of the dead moon. The image of Claes. Legend has it that Clais is one of the many incarnations of Martha in the world, so the undead often believe that they believe in Martha.
The atmosphere in the temple is a little serious. Under the high arch, many acolytes in black robes are crawling, whispering chanters praising Clais’s scriptures, and the sounds of scriptures from far and near are humming together. Reverberated in the hall.
Brando looked at this scene solemnly.
The sound of footsteps came from behind him in an empty space, and Andrea followed him not far behind, just a few steps behind. She looked at the hall and asked questions that were irrelevant:
"Why did Queen Madara suddenly summon us?"
Brando shook his head silently. How did he know it, maybe it was a whim, maybe it was because the negotiation between Delphine and the former had made substantial progress, maybe the envoy sent to Eruin had a reply, or some other reason.
Among them, Delphine’s negotiations came to an end as early as a week ago, and a thick stack of agreements and secret agreements was signed. The provisions are generally beneficial to Eruin, including the unconditional end of the invasion and return of the undead. The word "Buchi", the prime minister's daughter has done a very good job, and it can be said to be perfect. He knew that some of his decisions might arouse some people's resentment in Eluin, and even hurt the interests of others, but it's not a big deal. This provision can make anyone shut up.
Unless those people think they have the ability to get back the Bouche.
This is only an explicit agreement. In private, Brando's request is very simple. In the Black Rose War, including those before the Black Rose War, the undead lords who participated in the massacre of the civilians of Eruin must be punished. Regarding this point, he did not intend to make concessions at the beginning. If Eruin's bottom line is to pay back Butcher, then this is his bottom line. But to his expectation, he and the prime minister's daughter originally thought it was about this. Negotiations will fall into hard bargaining, and even they are ready to face the deadlock, but Her Majesty Madara’s majesty has shown amazing coldness. She abandoned almost everyone on the list, leaving only a few who were originally. Brando and Delphine used to bargain, and the guilt was relatively light, or the guilt was the undead lord who was rumored to be false.
Even the confidant of the Lord of the Black Plague who was so loyal to her was ruthlessly rejected by her. Brando and Delphine were shocked by this decisive cruelty. The performance of the Queen Madara Somewhat strangely, she seemed to be too accommodating and submissive to this negotiation. So long after that, both he and Delphine thought that the Queen had any conspiracy, but after half a month cautiously, Eruin came to the news that the Second Black Rose War was over, and the undead were as promised. Exited Eruin.
Under such circumstances, he was summoned by the Queen.
In the past few months, there have actually been a lot of things. The undead fought with the crystal cluster several times in the southern part of the Dead Moon Sea, but not every time it was as lucky as the Battle of Finhotos, Bromanto Although the black rose of Fenhotos has stabilized its position in Finhotos, in general, the undead have steadily failed and retreated throughout the south. Fortunately, the territory of Madara is vast, even if large areas of the south are lost, it is not harmful to the empire, not to mention that most of the vast land is not originally under the rule of the mercury rod.
Then they and her Majesty the Queen of Madara returned to the Land of Eternal Death. Generally speaking, the central zone of the Dead Moon Empire was fairly stable and was not affected by the drastic changes of the empire—on the one hand, Because there was very little news, but on the other hand, it was because the so-called drastic changes were actually the same thing for Madara. This is, after all, the year 376 of the First Era, not sixty years later, nor the middle of the Second Era. In this era, the territory ruled by the Mercury Rod was originally the Land of Eternal Death and the central area of the Sea of Dead Moon. On the part of the'prosperous' area bordering Eruin, Her Majesty claims that the undead sequence of the north and the east and the liches of Balakirevo are enemies of the empire-isn't that normal? The undead living here thought it was just the empire’s horn of war on the east and the north.
From this point, Brando could be regarded as having seen the majesty of the Queen’s skill. Of course, Delphine, who had clearly seen this on the battlefield and proposed this condition, was naturally classified by him in his eyes. The existence of the same kind of people as the Queen-a woman who is not easy to provoke.
There are also a series of people in this category, including the Queen of Wind, the Silver Queen Constance, his mother, Antitina, Metisa, and Little Roman, and a series of existences that make him feel headache. By the way, Metty Sha was only added recently.
But the surface stability is only for the lower class. For those upper-class undead aristocrats who are intimately connected with this change, they will not be aware of the inside story. Under the calm of the surface of the eternal death land, a turbulent undercurrent is brewing secretly. Those undead lords who were abandoned by Her Majesty, and those dark nobles who are unwilling to give up their gains, will naturally not let it go. In just one or two months, Her Majesty of Madara has been represented by these vested interests. The forces have fought against each other many times.
But every time, it ended with the gentle victory of the Queen. Within two months, the corpses of four undead lords had been thrown on the central square of the seat of eternal death, and another Bit escapes to the undead sequence. She did not fight alone from start to finish. Instarron and Targus and the family represented behind them have always stood firmly by the Queen’s side. After Delphine’s analysis and guidance, Brando is very Quickly find a clear context from it-to discover that the Queen is using the power of emerging nobles to suppress the old undead lords. These people have been abandoned by her one by one in history, and they have been crushed by the wheels of history, and now , She just accelerated the process.
After understanding this, he was a bit speechless. The undead army that he cut off on the battlefield that day just provided the room for the queen to play. If it weren't for the day she took the initiative to hand over the mercury rod to him. The mystery has not yet been revealed. Brando almost thought that he had fallen into the other party’s calculations from beginning to end, so that he later spent several days repeatedly reading the "Black Rose War Memo" which was several centimeters thick. , One by one determined that there are no loopholes and pitfalls in the above clauses. Although Delphine was a little scornful of his behavior, the prime minister's daughter still patiently helped him complete this work.
Then there is the Land Legion.
Just look at the oil bottle girl behind him, and you can understand that the Land Legion has never gone far since the Battle of Finhotos. In fact, they may have nowhere to go. The elemental barrier has collapsed. The line of defense has become fragmented, and expecting to defend against the invasion of the evening outside of Vonde is no different from dreaming. Since Andrea mentioned that the wild elves of Faenza and Ellanta have already entered the war, it means that they have a predetermined plan. Transfer to the territory of Warend to continue fighting.
In fact, both the silver elves and the guards of the goddess of war remained, only the army of the unnamed was missing. According to the group of chirping girls, these ancient heroes were the last descendants of the land legion, and they were the first generation. Odin, the most precious treasure left by the azure knights to Warnd, he signed a contract with the princes of Legu, allowing their heroes to stay in Warnd forever to guard their home and hometown.
Legend has it that after the heroes of the gold and silver races die, their souls will return to Valhalla’s Hall of Heroes and continue to fight for the gods, but after the loss of the Hall of Heroes, these heroes will become the unnamed. Part of this, they abandoned everything, names, identities, and past memories, leaving only the will to fight and guard.
Seven-pole dragon king Fusia stayed to teach Metisa and Hippamira how to become true journeymen-although the latter two are just journeymen creatures, the evil dragon king who came from the era when the Miner ruled the earth said It didn't make a difference, they still had a lot to learn, but its time was limited.
It tells Brando that it intends to take Metisa and Hippamira to a place—the Glory Sacred Pool, the Holy Land of the Matanians, and the arena of the Journey Master. Although it has been abandoned for a long time, it is empty. There are still many rules of the day left in it. If Metis and Hippamilla want to mature quickly and become a true traveler, there may be the best place.
Brando has some questions about this, because Tumen did not mention this place to him that day, Fucia's arrogant personality naturally did not bother to explain it to him, leaving only one sentence: whatever you want-just throw it away Let him worry about it himself.
It does not need to ask for the opinions of Medissa and Hippamira, because in its view, the traveling mage does not need to ask for the opinions of the traveling mage creature, as long as Brando allows it, that's enough.
Brando has reservations about this, but he is still very curious about the dragon-mage from the ancient times. First of all, as far as he knows, all the mage-travelers are gods, so Fusia is not considered to be. What about a god? If it counts, then it will be interesting. It means that the people of God may not be a representative name of a certain race, but a kind of existence that represents the power class and the authority class.
