Wizard From Afar

"First of all, please show your respective sabers on the table to prove the qualifications of the participants-and then we can start."

Connold's voice sounded slowly, and then he pulled out the long sword from his waist-the pure black sword with the iron crown logo engraved on it-took the lead and placed it flat on the table.

Symbolizes the mythril sword of the Prince of East Sackland, the kingship.

Almost at the same time as the voice fell, Yuli Wirtz also drew his saber-a broad-bladed dagger forged for stabs, so plain that it was almost unadorned- Placed in the position corresponding to the Connold Sabre.

Aleman's blade, eagle beak.

"Clang!"

Ruvin and Sarika drew out their respective sabers at the same time—similar to Boye’s "Iron Cavalry" Mithril Long Sword, symbolizing Lotaire's "minions" are also a saber, but the blade is straight, more like a long sword with only one-sided blade.

With a sneer with a complex expression, Nolan Erd, who glanced at Loren from time to time, pulled out a heavy weapon that resembled the Mountain Splitting Saber from the back; "clang!", simply It smashed on the round table neatly.

This hideous weapon has a very "poetic" name... alone.

The weapon slammed on the table, but all eyes turned to the same direction.

"It's your turn, Lord Byrne." Lifting his gaze, Connold stared at the black hair wizard indifferently, as well as the hilt behind his shoulder:

" 'Dawn', put it on this table."

He said every word very seriously.

Loren's expression tightened slightly, and the right hand pressed the hilt behind the sword.

Connold said that by handing over the sword, the meeting will officially begin... That is to say, he will not only exclude the church and the imperial nobles, but will even Brandon be shut out?

No... This should be his original purpose-to exclude Brandon and talk to the six duchy alone; in this way, without the interference of a second person, let the six duchy and He reached an agreement.

The reason and reason are also very simple, because even among the six duckys who are closer to Brandon...including Byrne, their interests are not completely consistent with Brandon.

He did this to weaken the influence of his "Imperial Manifesto" and become his Connold as the sole representative of the Imperial Family of Dessa Leon, negotiating with the six duchy-even if all Everyone knows that Brandon is in this Imperial Capital, and he has to pretend that this shameless prince does not exist!

"The Duke of Byrne, Your Excellency Loren Torino."

The sound of Connold's words interrupted Loren's thoughts, and his cold eyes looked at him provocatively: "Everyone... are waiting for you."

The black hair wizard didn't look at him, but moved his eyes to the Corona Master who was aside.

The expression of the leader of the wizard tower is very playful, as if he is also waiting for his choice.

The atmosphere became a bit tense.

"Clang——!"

After five seconds of silence, Loren held the sword in one hand and placed the "Dawn" on the table-one person tall The sword of Connold happened to cover Connold's "kingship" underneath.

Almost at the same time, the black hair wizard could clearly feel the gaze around him staring at him, and they were all relaxed.

The Corona Master who saw this scene didn't make any comments, just an unidentified smile.

The corners of Connold's mouth are slightly raised.

Although it's not obvious yet, at least a small turnaround was a victory.

"In this case, as the Prince of East Sackland, I officially announce that the 6th Knight League Council of the Royal Sword Knight Regiment will be officially formed."

With solemn voices, the seven people in the empty hall were seated in their respective seats-only the seats belonging to the "Emperor of the Sackland Empire" were vacated.

"The sixth parliament?" Ruben Fried muttered to himself with a bewildered face as he sat down: "It's almost three hundred years... why are we the sixth Where is the Knight regiment?"

A helpless Yuli Wiertz sighed from the corner of his eyes, lowered his voice and explained helplessly: “Because the existence of the Knight regiment itself is quite controversial. Therefore, after His Majesty Eckhart I, only five Supreme Emperors had reorganized the Knight regiment due to the invasion of the northern monsters; among them were the'sage' Brandon I and the Queen of the Dragon, Charlotte..."

"no no no, you misunderstood my meaning, little Yuli."

The weird-faced Ruben shook his head for a while, and quickly stopped Grand Duke Wiltz who wanted to go on: "I am right I’m not interested in these old-fashioned stories. Lothar’s history alone is enough to give me a headache."

"I mean...even the name'Knight Regiment', I also came here. I just knew it at that time; if he hadn't just mentioned it, I would have thought we were the second Knight regiment!"

"..." Yuli Wirtz.

Tugging at the corners of his mouth, Loren withdrew his attention from the whispers of the two of them, and turned to Connold again.

"Since Eckhardt I to this day, the Royal Sword Knight regiment has only organized six councils. Each time it is at a critical juncture for the survival of the empire. Why?"

Connold frowned, his voice indifferent and heavy: "Because this means that the empire's system is no longer able to withstand the crisis, and all power and resources must be concentrated in the hands of the smallest group of people in a more direct way. "

"And this group of people will be given the authority to control the entire empire and the responsibility to save the empire; every vote and decision of the Knight regiment will determine tens of thousands of lives, and their The land where he lives...is there still in the world."

"Eckhardt I went north to fend off the enemy at Duanjieshan; Brandon the "sage" fought in the Valley of Blood Skeletons; the Black Duke was in danger and was ordered , Save the empire..." The more Connold said, his tone became more solemn, even with a hint of trembling:

"But compared with us, the distress encountered by the previous five Royal Sword Knights …Not worth mentioning!"

"Because they were closely united by the emperor at that time;"

"At that time, they clearly knew that they should obey Whoever ordered, where is the enemy;"

"At that time, there was also an emperor!"

The trembling and heavy voice made the atmosphere in the hall a little bit more Nervous and restless.

"As the Duke of Byrne mentioned in his letter, the Azorean elves and their main messengers behind the scenes are an enemy that is so powerful that perhaps we may not be able to win if we are united as one." Reaching the table, His Royal Highness slowly got up:

"They killed our emperor, they also wanted to kill everyone present; they show off military force so much that we can do nothing but know them. It will definitely invade but I don’t know when and where it will start.

"The Knights of the Sword...what should we do? How can we resist this unprecedented enemy? "

After finishing talking, Connold motionless standing in front of the seat, his solemn eyes fixed on the face of the black hair wizard.

What should be... the answer is not already obvious. Is it?

Connold Dessalion... He has almost told everyone the "answer" in what he said just now-we don't have an emperor, we need an emperor.

Now is the time for you "Noble Royal Sword Knight Group" members to nominate an emperor.

More importantly, Loren’s "Imperial Manifesto" has clearly stated his position before. , To recommend His Royal Highness the thirteenth generation of the Supreme Emperor... So Loren impossible changed his mind again.

Connold...He is using his identity to turn passive into active, turning the original Brandon The "preemptive advantage" occupied by Loren gradually became his; from "Byrne and the dukes jointly elected Connold as the emperor of the empire" to "the six dukes agreed with Connold's ideas and supported him as the emperor." The emperor".

The change of a few words means the difference between Heaven and Earth.

The former is equivalent to Connaught owing Loren and Brandon a favor, the latter It is that he is reasonable and legal. Under the unanimous request of the empire, he got what he deserves.

That is to say, Connaught does not have the sincerity to cooperate. He intends to suppress himself and Brandon in this way?

The face doesn't change Loren's eyes level up, pretending not to see the other person's line of sight.

"What to do, I think it's quite simple. "

With the grinning Grand Duke of Arles, Nolan Erd suddenly opened the mouth and said, shrugging his shoulders as if to respond casually: "Didn’t the royal prince say that, we There is no emperor-that is not easy, just choose an emperor! "

Huh?!

Everyone present was stunned, even Connold couldn't help turning his attention to Nolan Erd.

So The words "loyal to the country" actually came from the mouth of the Duke of Arles, who is most disgusted with the empire and Desalion?

Seeing the gathered a pair of vision, hehe smiled with a low smile on the expression of the Duke of Arles. It's more interesting: "Of course, since we have to choose an emperor, then who to choose is a big problem. "

"I mean... we can't be too unfair. After all, Twelfth and the 13th generation have quite a few members of the Imperial Family; if we all recommend the same person, would it be a bit'accelerated' 'The suspicion. "

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell cold.

Connold, who was vaguely aware of his thoughts, had a pale face, frowning and looking at Nolan Erd: "Al Lord Le, what on earth do you want to say? "

"It's easy! Now there is only you and a Desalion Imperial Family. If we all recommend you, wouldn't it be too fake? If you let people outside know it, it would be bad for your reputation as if we were all in collusion. "

Nolan Erd licked his chapped lips, and smiled brighter and brighter: "So I propose—everyone in the room recommends a member of the Imperial Family of Desalion, see who Who can persuade, make a decision! "

In the astonishing silence, not only was there no sound, but everyone's expressions seemed frozen.

This guy...he came here to make trouble!

At the same time as the voice fell, this thought appeared on the faces of black hair wizard and Ulrich Wiltz at the same time.

"Hey hey...I think this idea is good! "Ruvin's eyes lit up, and he didn't notice the sharp sword-like gaze of the Duke Elman next to him. He couldn't wait to press his head directly on the table: "The most important thing is that it sounds fair!" "

"Yes, yes, reconsideration! "Salika Jonah of Carefree also patted the table, excited as if the trouble was not big enough:

Who can convince anyone! "

The Corona Master, who is sitting on the very edge, is still smiling, and there is no sign of wanting to stand up.

Connold’s face is like a haze, although the expression is not The slightest change, but it’s getting darker.

The black hair wizard with a twitching mouth keeps his mood under control, keeping calm and not saying a word.

This is definitely a surprise, but it is not. Unexpected.

The contradiction between the Erd family of Arles and the Imperial Family of Desalion has a long history, almost dating back to the beginning of the establishment of the Sackland Empire; Except for the giant monsters, there is almost no “special product” duchy, which is always a hidden danger in the eyes of the empire.

They reject Holy Cross Church, and have territorial disputes with Lothar and Byrne; brave and good at fighting. Troll hunters once fought valiantly with their duke in the Valley of the Blood Skeletons, and sacrificed heroically; but in the overwhelming majority, they were all good at robbing other caravans.

Not stingy, stingy, cunning, not defending. The rules, the wandering merchants, robbers and thieves are the direct portrayal of the Arlesians-"Never walk alone with an Arlesian, unless you are not worthy of robbing." This famous saying is widely circulated in the south of the empire.

So Nolan Erde...the Lord of Arles, he came to this gathering not to respond to his call, nor to "imperial justice";

He Coming here, I just want to block Connold, the Empire and the Imperial Family of Desalion.

"You have been very quiet since just now, Lord Loren Torino. "

Nolan Erde, who has been smiling brightly, suddenly turned his attention to the black hair wizard, looking forward and curious: "I don't know what you are like. What about opinions? ”

I feel that if you continue to speak, you may not be far from death.

With a formulaic smile, Loren lifts the head looked towards the surrounding dukes, and what is already Connaught with a deep face: "Since the three dukes have already made decisions, it is basically half; then I have no objections; but..."

"I will keep my previous ideas and recommend Kang His Royal Highness Prince Noord De Salion, the Supreme Emperor of the 13th generation of the empire! "

Looking at Loren Torino, who is "righteous", everyone's expressions are obviously a bit wrong.

Connold's expression looked thoughtful, while Yuli Wiertz's expression is looked thoughtful. Silently nodded to Loren, seeming to affirm his willingness to stick to his attitude.

"Well, it seems that the Torino family belongs to the Torino family, and the promises made will never change. "Although he said that, Nolan Erd's expression was very disapproving: "I don't know if it is for righteousness, or for the imperial prince's love! "

This guy...

Ignoring the gaze cast by the black hair wizard, the Duke of Arles smiled at hehe and turned his gaze back to Connold's body: "It's his turn You, your royal prince. "

"Do you think...who should be recommended as the next highest emperor of the empire, which is the most appropriate?" "
