The Blood Throne, which serves as the meeting hall, has appeared in sight. It is located in the center of the upper level of the giant castle. The scarlet carpet stretches from the thunder-patterned marble floor to the front of the bridge.
"Her Majesty the Queen only allows you representatives to enter. I will ask someone to arrange for your entourage to rest first."
Duncan stopped at the front of the hall.
This is a reasonable request, not to mention that if these filthy blood species really want to do something, dozens of wizards will not make any difference to the comparison of combat power between the two sides.So the only ones who entered this hall were the three from the Mephisto family, Hyde Belusay, Fittili, Val Farmini, and several guard knights dragging the cast steel coffin.
Most of the Enochian nobles are taller than ordinary humans, so the height of each step here is close to a foot and a half. After applying a floating spell to himself, Hyde reluctantly followed the team with a dark face without being rude. Use both hands and feet.
Two rows of golden retro candlesticks were neatly placed between the hall pillars. The dim yellow light was not bright, but made the overly spacious hall even darker.That kind of ghostly candlelight brings only false light and heat, just like the shadow in the mirror.Not only was there no warming, the indoor temperature was even five degrees lower than the outside, making people feel very uncomfortable.
Although it was only a little bit of faint light, it was completely enough with the abilities of everyone present.
Above the throne is an inverted cross altar surrounded by flying dragon sculptures. A shriveled and blackened limb is enshrined above the altar.
Hyde didn't feel anything special from this arm, but he wouldn't foolishly treat it as an ordinary severed hand.
"This is the dead hand, one of the sacred objects of our nobles. It is the left hand of Cain, the first noble in history."
A lazy voice that made people want to doze off came from under the altar, and that area was obviously darker than the rest of the hall.The woman who appeared in the mist is now sitting on the throne. Even though she is covered with tulle, her snow-white neck and curves that spread downward and violently undulate still make people feel that she is amazingly beautiful.
"It is said that the corpse's hands hide the secrets of the world, but for so many years no one knows what it is. The only reason why it is enshrined as a sacred object is its history and origin."
No one would believe such nonsense, but as the woman said, it deserves to be respected for its origin alone.
The left hand of an ancient god!
If this were to be placed in the material world, any wizarding scholar would be mad at its existence and its symbolic significance!
Farmine's eyes were bright, and she couldn't help swallowing, like a wolf cub who saw fresh meat in the wilderness.
The members of the envoy paid their respects to the hand of God before bowing to the woman on the throne.
Lucien raised his head and looked at the ground in front of the throne.
"Lucien Mephisto, the head of the Wizards Alliance envoy and the representative of the Mephisto family, has met the King of Blood—His Majesty Enoch Rosalia Cain."
Chapter 75 Exploration
"The boundary between Nod and the outside world is becoming blurred, and the day of the prophecy of dirty blood is coming. As the head of the mission of the Wizarding League, I represent the Wizarding Organization Alliance and the Albion Brotherhood in another world,"
Lucien's voice is calm and charming. I have to say that this playboy is indeed more suitable than others when doing these superficial tasks. Judging from his demeanor and comfortable conversation, it is obviously not the first time for him to experience this. This kind of scene may have been fully prepared and practiced.
"Visit the glorious Enoch, and pay tribute to the equally honorable blood of Caine, the great Lord of Nod, Her Majesty Queen Enoch."
He quickly glanced around the hall with his peripheral vision. Apart from the throne, there was nothing in the empty hall, at least no seats prepared for the envoys and representatives of human wizards.There were no guards or maids, only an old man with white hair standing beside the queen. In this strange envoy, this may also prove the queen's absolute confidence that no one in the envoy could pose a threat to her.
But a faint sense of awkwardness still surfaced in Hyde's heart. Judging from the scene in Enoch City, Her Majesty the Queen in front of him should be quite concerned about this negotiation with the envoy.From a theoretical point of view, they were not Enoch's subjects but came to negotiate as equal partners, but he could not see the slightest respect for them from the Enoch nobles.
Lucien noticed this or maybe he didn't notice it, he just continued:
"We are sorry for the last batch of hunters who went to the material world of Paris. Their actions to threaten the ordinary world have caused the direct intervention of the executors. All we can do is take the two sacred objects lost by the nobles and our most sincere apologies. Return Enoch, and may we both be at peace forever."
After saying all this, he waved back, and Schiff and Fitili filled up the two sacred objects with both hands.
After that, there was a long silence, long enough for Hyde to think that the woman with the lazy tone had fallen asleep.
Until then, a contemptuous laugh came from the throne, and the white-haired woman in gorgeous court attire spoke, saying in that lazy but seductive voice:
"Cain turned his back on the glory of the Lord and killed his brother. He was exiled to this damned, nothing, cursed place... But our ancestors still established the great Era promise."
The queen narrated this period of Enoch's history that has been passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years,
"We, like him, are burdened with filthy blood, turned our backs on the glory of the Lord, struggled ashore from the flood that destroyed the world, and lived here forever...Even the Lord who is high above is not worthy of our fear."
Her voice gradually became louder, and the disturbing and chilling atmosphere became more and more intense, and even the candle was shaken violently by the invisible cold wind.A chilling depth of darkness began to rise, shaking the entire hall.
"Eternal peace? You killed the hunters I sent to negotiate, killed the next candidate for the throne, and told me with an unchained traitor and two holy relics taken from the hands of the dead... ...peace forever? If that's what you wizards call the sincerest apology, then it's worse than shit."
"Wizard, don't rely on the situation behind you. The worst result is that I kill you and then declare war on the entire material world. Even if that is the case, what do I have to be afraid of?"
This completely different reaction from the long-distance conversation made Lucien stunned for a while. He had imagined a variety of audience scenarios, which naturally included such a bad development.
But it wasn't until then that he realized his absolute weakness. No matter how many responses he had prepared, the gap in power was absolute. His level of magic power was not even as good as Kraft's when he was a freshman. When oppressed, don't say continue to negotiate fluently, he can't even say a word now.
Being able to hold back the trembling of the whole body without crawling on the ground is already relying on the strong essence of the source of Mephisto's bloodline.
——"If I remember correctly, Her Majesty the Queen, even you do not have the right to put the entire fate of Enoch on the gambling table."
A crisp voice sounded from the hall, Fitili straightened his body and touched the smooth ground with the end of the sacred spear.
"I am also a Cain. At this time, I should challenge you as a candidate for the Queen, so as to see if you should still sit on the Blood Throne."
Immediately afterwards, everyone straightened up, and in Lingxin's vision, Hyde could see column after column of huge magic power blowing away the black mist surrounding Lucien.He sighed, and then took a step forward and stood in the front position.
After staring at each other for a while, the suffocating pressure suddenly dissipated, and the scene in front of them began to distort, like a spring compressed to the limit and suddenly returned to its original shape.
Hyde was surprised to find that he and everyone else were standing on the steps in front of the hall, and there was no palace named "Blood Throne" at all.
Is this an illusion?
The pressure just now was real, and even the cold candlelight in the palace and the faint smell of blood still lingered in his nose.If this hallucination indeed enveloped everyone present at the same time and barely revealed any clues, it would be too terrifying.
Is the Queen's power comparable to that of Ulysses Philip... no, even superior to him?
Hyde couldn't help but glanced sideways at Weier. The blonde girl put her hands on her towering chest in fear and just let out a sigh of relief.Recalling the bizarre magic that the other party had used with some special means, it seemed that even she, who was a master in this field, could not get rid of the queen's illusion on her own.
At Duncan's urging, members of the envoy walked into the hall again.It was still dim candlelight and the room temperature was colder than the outside world, and the shriveled and blackened severed hand was still held up by the altar.
Lucien didn't know whether he should repeat the conversation just now according to etiquette, he just opened his mouth, and then smiled helplessly:
"Your Majesty the Queen, your strength is truly amazing. Can you tell me how you did that?"
Before the queen could speak, the old man standing beside the throne coughed first,
"Your Majesty, the temptation just now is a little overdone... These people have already proved their strength."
So it was a temptation?
Hyde couldn't help but cursed in his heart. It would take a lot of magic power to perform such a large-scale illusion. This long-legged woman was really willing to do it.
The queen's two raised eyebrows slowly lowered, and her expression became a half-smile,
"It's just a little distorted time. You don't need to repeat what you just said. It's not an illusion but a fact. We have indeed talked once."
warp time...
Although this did not affect the time in the true sense, Hyde still secretly raised his evaluation of the Queen's power in his heart.
There are some records of this level of witchcraft in the classics collected by the Belusa family, but none of them are something he can try now. Hyde intuitively thinks that even Straw and even Fred may not be able to do so. Have this ability.Perhaps only the former executive, Kleist or the mysterious Ulysses Philip, had set foot on this level.
"Although it is a bit exaggerated, the thing I want to ask remains the same."
"Why can't I quietly wait for Enoch to come to that world in my sleep, but instead use my nap time to cooperate with you and sign a contract that doesn't seem to mean so much to me?"
Queen Enoch seemed to feel that her words were a bit convoluted, and she added:
"To put it simply, what in that world can threaten me, and what can you bring us?"
Lucien heaved a sigh of relief, this was a scene he was familiar with and could handle.
"Of course it is the executor, Your Majesty—Albert Crest, the strongest wizard we recognize, his power will not be inferior to yours. Enoch is indeed a huge force, but I don't know Think you can fight against all the executors in an unfamiliar environment. Not to mention that there are countries and armies in the ordinary world behind them."
"In addition, there will not be only one Nord that will gradually emerge from the water during this change."
The queen smiled playfully, and repeated the name Kleist several times in her mouth.
"I know him, I saw that young man many years ago - indeed, if it had been him, he might be stronger than me by now. No, people who touch 'that' also have a weak feeling for each other. Connection, I can feel it from hearing the name...he is indeed stronger than me. "
The queen, who didn't care about the childish look on her face, referred to the principal who was over a hundred years old as a "young man". The queen admitted that the old principal was stronger than her. Hyde didn't know how to describe this news.
On the one hand, this can indeed help the current negotiation, but at the same time, he is convinced that the alliance is actually against the old man who is stronger than that monster that can distort time. If it is not cursed by the Son of God, perhaps this pure In the eyes of Kleist, the combination of the blood family and the rebel forces is just a joke?
"Then the problem comes again."
Queen Enoch leaned her slender body on the armrest of the throne, and her skirt, which was several meters long, rolled down from the seat and steps.
"Since the Alboot and the executor you mentioned are so strong, why don't we sign a contract with you instead of cooperating with them? Listen to what you mean, the forces you belong to and the executor are not on the side?"
"Mr. Kleist used to be a very good leader, Your Majesty. Most of the people here used to be one of the executors. I don't know if you are willing to listen to my detailed explanation. With your strength There must be countless ways to judge whether what I said is true, an ordinary person cannot lie in front of a strong person."
Lucien confessed his own strength, but to be honest, it provided a certain degree of convenience at this time.
Queen nodded,
"Just tell me, if you tell any lies I will kill you on the spot. Believe me, if I really want to do it, none of you can stop me."
After obtaining the queen's permission, Lucien continued:
"As I said before, Mr. Kleist was a good and respected wizard, but he has completely become a madman in his later years."
"Crazy Kleist can't tolerate any mysterious existence that threatens his so-called balance now, whether it is a dark wizard other than the executor, or other things with mysterious power. With all due respect, you will not have any cooperation Chances are, when news of Enoch's coming to the physical world is revealed, he will declare war on you directly and open the Executor's portal less than a mile from you. At least three of the five hunters you sent last time Death is about the executor."
"And we will be the allies of Enoch City. You only need to exercise due restraint on your actions, and you will be able to obtain the safe land provided by the alliance, and you will be able to fight against Kleist and his executors. Gain a strong and steadfast ally when threatened."
Chapter 76 Regret
Lucien's voice echoed in the empty hall. After a long time, the echo gradually became silent, but the Queen still did not express her position.After Lucien said this, he began to wait quietly. This was the prerequisite for the establishment of the negotiation. Only after confirming the basic positions and concepts of both parties would he set out subsequent specific conditions.
He has enough patience, even a stalemate is the beginning of success for him.
After waiting for a full 5 minutes, Lucien waited for the Queen to speak again:
"What do you mean by restraint?"
"The material world has its own set of default laws and orders. Of course you cannot act arbitrarily like in Enoch."
Of course, this is an unavoidable question.Both parties knew it well, and Lucien had already chosen a relatively euphemistic way of saying it.
But these words seem to have evoked a certain memory of Queen Enoch. After a brief silence, the woman on the throne sighed slowly and straightened her body:
"Rules - you should not embrace the vile, you should not embrace the sinful, you should not embrace the youngest, who has a long life before he achieves dirty blood..."
She used an inexplicable ancient language, solemn and full of magical rhythm.
"The children of Cain shall not exceed the children of Seth in any land, nor shall there be one of the children of Cain out of every three children of Seth... Stranger, this is the holy book of our nation, Nor In the Book of Obtained, the great Cain once made the rules. In the more distant ages, the nobles who lived in the material world followed it to live in the shadow of the night, keeping a close relationship with you sacred blood wizards and even ordinary humans. relative balance."
