Warlock Royal Family

Cassano Cavalier is the family leader of the Sibo family. He has served for the first family of the Liguria Republic for more than 20 years.

Although he has faithfully completed the task of contacting France assigned by his master as a diplomatic escort several times in recent years, from his heart, he said to the old Xibo that he was too powerful to contain the Habsburg family, and supported the French to maintain the balance of power behavior is painful.

This veteran who was born in Bari, Kingdom of Naples, participated in the siege of Bari in 1494 and the siege of Liguria in 1499.

The atrocities committed by Charles VIII to Italy in the last few years of the last century are still as fresh as yesterday. In 1494, as a temporary urban militia, he did not participate in the battle at all and became a prisoner of the French with the captain. Her sister and her husband died in the chaos after the city was broken in Bari. The Frenchman brutally killed the brother-in-law who dared to resist, then tortured and raped her sister for several hours, and the sister whose bones were broken in several places did not support After this disaster, his injuries worsened and he died.

Although the old mother redeemed Cassano from the French prisoner-of-war camp with the inheritance of his sister and brother-in-law and most of his life savings, Cassano will never forget the funeral. Even after the funeral, his sister’s face was still in pain. , In the past 20 years, I don’t know how many have entered his dreams.

After kissing his sister goodbye and vowing to fight the invaders to the end, the young militiaman left his dilapidated hometown and continued to serve the Frenchmen's enemies as an Italian mercenary.

Even the plague in Naples did not prevent him from participating in the battle to recover Naples as a heroic soldier in the Restoration of Naples. With this credit, he was named a dignified knight and had several manors. However, Naples was ravaged by the French and tortured by the plague. Even if he became a knight, he could not live a comfortable life. In order to find the wealth to build the territory and to fight the French forever, he returned to the north as a reinforcement of the Kingdom of Naples. Italy continued to fight against Charles VIII's successor, Louis XII, father of the current French king.

In 1499, he was once again unfortunately surrounded by the French in the city of Liguria. The nobles of the Republic of Liguria saw the mammoth siege demon designed and manufactured by Lao Tanshuer, one of the top ten "township" mages in the mainland. After seeing the power of the statue, Cassano immediately gave up resistance. As part of the Ligurian Republic's promise not to resist again, Cassano once again entered the French prisoner-of-war camp.This time, because he had violated the release agreement that he would never fight against France again, even though he had saved a lot of money from fighting for years, his old mother couldn't rescue him.

The Kingdom of Naples, which had been rebuilt after untold hardships, was also partitioned by France and Spain. Although a war broke out between France and Spain almost immediately over the issue of spoils, the struggle between the two robbers was of no help to the bloody original owner. The last king of Naples, the former "Recovery King" Ferrantino, was heartbroken and finally surrendered to the French. Naples, which had been swept by the army several times, no longer had the strength to resist the new conqueror.

It wasn't until the French were driven out of Italy by the Spaniards that Cassano climbed out of the mine with the help of the Sibo family. During this period, the old mother died alone in worry and fear, and his territory had also fallen to Spain. hands.

Old Xibo used a small village belonging to the Republic of Liguria and an annuity of 11 talers to leave behind this [-]th-level warrior who was already homeless at that time.

The once young militiamen, relying on thousands of life-and-death battles, climbed out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and have been trained to become great warriors.

With such a life experience, it is of course not difficult to understand that Cassano Cavaliers have a resistance mentality to the policies adopted by the master, but the vassal's oath of loyalty to the master forced him to complete the tasks assigned to him by the master against his will.

He was even more disgusted with Young Master Cesare, who wholeheartedly hooked up with the French.

But at this moment, when the lifeless body of the young man he had watched growing up was lying in the arms of the old Xibo who seemed to have aged ten years, Cassano Cavaliers' heart was full of growing up training with that young man. time.His enthusiasm and ambition no longer made Cassano feel the slightest disgust, only sighs and regrets remained.

When the old Xibo saw the "black wail" passing to the northeast, he immediately realized that something terrible had happened. This strange phenomenon was obviously a special signal, and it was probably Ladislaus The method of contacting Vienna, since Ladislaus was able to issue an alarm, then Cesare's assassination should have failed.

Although he already had a bad premonition, an hour later, after seeing Cesare's body brought back by Cassano, who went to investigate the source of the signal, the old Xibo still felt blackness in front of his eyes and a torrent in his ears. Flushing, that was the sound of his old heart barely pumping blood.

Although the body is like dead wood, the clothes on his body match perfectly.

In the struggle of life and death, even the son of the consul of the Liguria Republic, the amulet that had protected Cesare for 20 years, could not save the life of this reckless young man.

After 20 years of countless disappointments, countless angers, and countless troubles, until today, when my son really died, I realized that this is love, which I have never felt for other things, including rare treasures and beautiful women. The passionate feelings that have been paid.It is the stupid feeling of the weak that I have laughed at since my youth.

In front of many subordinates, the old Xibo exhausted all his strength to prevent himself from shedding tears like a crying daughter. He tightly grasped the scepter of the consul of the Republic of Liguria, closed his eyes, took a deep breath and opened again. After opening, he began to ask Cassano Cavaliers about the situation.

Traces on Ladislaus' carriage, large loading wagons used by Cesare and private carriages, all testify beyond a doubt that a fierce battle was fought, and the bodies of several other slain wanderers were Brought it back to the governor's mansion, after being identified by the deputy housekeeper in charge of related affairs, although the body was beyond recognition, various traces also confirmed that it was a member of a criminal gang with a rather vicious reputation in the city.The leader of this gang is Lurna, the dark figure with the highest asking price for "wet work" in the city of Liguria. Although there are a few thieves or assassins of level 11 or even 12 in other gangs, the dark mage is her. Uniquely, her body was never found.

Combined with Anna's testimony, it can be confirmed without a doubt that this is a just ending brought about by an assassination. Of course, the old Xibo will never admit that his son is being defended justifiably. He immediately sent an envoy to Doria's mansion to question him severely. , and arranged to accuse Ladislaus of murdering his son in the parliament. The shape of the corpse can point out that Ladislaus may be a believer of a certain demon.

Ladislaus was supposed to burn the wreckage, but was unable to because of time constraints.

And as long as the backing of the warlock royal family does not fall, don't say that Ladislaus has nothing to do with the demon, even if he really believes in the demon, who can do anything to him.

But losing a lot of prestige is inevitable.

Of course, the fact that Cesare organized the assassination of Ladislaus, or that Ladislaus murdered Cesare has no effect on the situation that the parties will take. How about the family, the real question is whether to escalate the situation, take this opportunity to completely break with the Holy Roman Empire, openly ally with France, and even send troops to participate in France's next military operation.

However, if this motion is promoted now, it is likely to be considered by the members of the family and the allied families as a hasty reaction made by being dazzled by the anger of losing their son. Killing all can inspire unity, but the prestige of the city's nobles, elected every ten years, is likely to arouse suspicion and opposition.

Thinking of this, the old Xibo could only order his eldest son Caligula to meet with the French ambassador overnight, and use Cesare's death to get as much money for his family as possible without making a commitment to join the war. compensate.

After sending away the eldest son with complicated emotions, the old Xibo squeezed out the anger that seemed to come from the endless abyss through his teeth: "Cassano, you lead the team yourself, and you immediately mobilize the family warriors and shadow guild masters, let their meeting The boss will attack together, and Anna will also assist you. She can help you in the wild. Be sure to bring Ladislaus back to me. The bloodshed of our Sibo family."

Anna stopped crying and waved her hand. A strange life appeared on her hand. The creature was about 18 inches tall, with a pair of 2-foot-long wings. Its body seemed to be composed of many crumpled flowers. The eyes seem to be two thorny roses, the joints are dotted with a few beautiful seven-star ladybugs, and the back is mixed with something like forest soil, and many of them are bright red bird feathers and animal scales , as a whole presents a form that combines flame worship and girlish obsession.This is a natural creature with a distinctive mark of Kashus and Anna's style-Bernape's soul pet.

As the girl waved again, the pet flapped its wings and flew out of the window.

Escaping a druid in the wild is no easy feat.

The moment the strange life flew out of the window, "Escape from Hunting" appeared on Ladislaus' task interface.
