The Black Scepter

[I just arrived home, the update is a bit late, sorry! 】

Whether "Theology" can sublimate the soul, Murphy will not give an affirmative or negative answer, but the book can make people have a broader horizon, which is an indisputable fact-even Andalil and Jeanne Shikandi, when he is idle, will turn over the books at hand, because they are generally higher than ordinary people who understand the simplest truth.

The top ten families used to be invisible to Murphys, but now they are no longer so conspicuous-many things are like this. When they are not clear, they feel unfathomable. They really bottomed out, but they found that the other party was just like this. Even a family such as Varian Consanas seems to Murphys to be a family with more resources-a family is always a family. Compared to the empire, they may become A solid skeleton, but in the end it is impossible to match an entire empire. After the terrifying battle with Mars, Murphy has received all the personal letters from all the patriarchs of today's top ten families one after another. The importance of his attitude and the high specifications are unprecedented.

But Murphy didn't have any excitement or excitement at all-this emotion can only be produced by people who worship and fear the top ten families, but now he simply sees these families covering the entire continent as "strategic partners." .

Long distance and close attack, this strategy Murphy still implements.

The congratulations of the ten major families were very heavy, and even with the dragon bone handguards sent by the swordsmanship contest champions, Murphys packaged it and gave it to his subordinates in Balice as a welfare. He did not leave anything at all. When I was eating, I met Ashcandi, Andaril and Jeanne, and discussed with the Duke some of the current political situation of Byzantium. I did not attend any dinners and ignored the letters written by the admirers who could be packed in carriages.

It can be said that Murphy, who had been high-profile before, was completely silent after this peak decisive battle, and almost never appeared in the public even once.

But Pafa, an old housekeeper who knows the truth, can feel that Murphy has become the heir of "excellent" or even "unprecedented" in these few days, and several chatting with the Duke at dinner time every day. Girls, it’s scary to say which one you say.

Andariel seems to have found the first biological goal she wants to achieve today-after witnessing the battle between Murphys and the Queen of the Red Eyes and Mars, this talented "pagan" hope Being able to go further on the attainments of divine art, she began to work hard and selflessly, while looking at Jeanne d’Or, because she saw Murphys deter the entire trial seat from her personal strength in the Inquisition and made the other speechless, she said that she did not Shock is impossible, but Murphys did not deny her faith, which made Jeanne feel inexplicable to Murphys in her heart.

What is faith?

She began to wonder in her heart and hope to find real answers in books and life.

Ashcandi sat quietly next to Murphys during the meal every day, did not mention why the red eyes queen appeared and disappeared-Murphys did not ask, between the two Emotions have not faded, and occasional eye contact is still gentle and quiet.

Trust is the premise of love.

Duke Akar, who has been busy all day, brought some good news to Murphy-the whole event of Murphy's next task became extremely easy, because no one had the courage to challenge Murphy's strength in private He only needs to participate in the Gladiator's exhibition game three days later and make his debut with Edward III at the closing ceremony.

But the quiet life did not last long. At night, several candles suddenly lit up in the originally quiet Duke’s Palace.

Murphy, who was supposed to be in the study, stepped into the hall. He raised his hand and lighted the candle with the elements to make the room bright. He walked to the door without expression, reaching out and pushing away.

"If anything, just come in and talk, I'm not interested in waiting too long."

Murphy put down this sentence as if talking to the air and turned back to the interior of the living room, sitting in the armchair of the main seat-this position is the seat of the Duke of Akar and also represents the patriarch of the Windsor family The place...Obviously, in the face of this visitor in the middle of the night, Murphy greeted each other with this important identity. It has proved that the person who came is not as simple as expected.

The dark night was outside the open door, but at the next moment a figure appeared quietly. He stood in front of the Duke of Windsor for a few seconds, and seemed to be looking at the young figure in the room who was not looking at himself. Finally stepped in.

A red and black robe, two folded bat wings, and a frosted and meticulous haircut William Clement appeared in front of Murphy again.

"The Duke's Mansion of Windsor... the Yizuor also went out from here."

Entering the door, William did not take Murphy into his eyes. He looked at the ornaments and paintings around him, whispering like a comment: "A family that has not been around for a long time, actually experienced ups and downs. I can stand on top of the peak again, I’m curious how you did it."

This bloodline strongman who had left the title of "Prince" came across from Murphy and sat directly, looking at the young man in front of him without any strangeness: "There is no protection from the'laws' here, I think you don't have Necessary to play tricks with me."

"I have heard of your performance at the contest, regardless of true or false, the strength is indeed commendable, so I..."

"Prepare for "commission"?"

Murphy directly interrupted the arrogant king-level vampire, "Let me reason... In the face of my mentor Della and the mother of pain, you know that you are invincible and retreat, and wait until everything is right and there is a suitable reason. At that time, you appeared in front of me again, are you ready to "discuss" the so-called cooperation with me in this attitude?"

He was sitting in a chair without any fear, and looked at the blood monarch in front of him. Murphy looked very different from when he first looked at him.

And William obviously noticed these details too. The deep experience was enough to make him understand many things in an instant. So when he spoke again for a moment, his tone had lost a little arrogance, and he turned to the question: "Dragon family field" Being able to open for mortals is really something that surprised me—"

He paused slightly, seemingly thinking about the wording, and finally whispered: "The scepter of Sulfuras was destroyed, the strength of the blood clan is generally weakened. After the battle in the city of West Sellin, I tried to warn everyone, but the result As you can see, there are very few results."

"It's normal, but when you sleep too long, you have forgotten how much humans hate vampires." Murphy resisted William's arrogance, but did not refuse to discuss certain issues with the other party. "Ash I still don’t know much about the story of Candi and you, but it’s clear that you are very obsessed with her—or that she is very obsessed with you.”

"Things are not as simple as you think, don't piece together the clues of hearsay to self-righteous results and then blame others. You are not a omniscient **** or a wise saint. There are some things that you don't need to know in detail. ."

William did not want to mention this, and Murphy did not aggressively ask for anything, but just followed the topic: "What do you want to warn humans about? Invasion from other planes? I want to tell you one Interesting news, I don’t know if you are interested."

"Appreciate further details."

Speaking of demeanor, this patriarch can be regarded as first-class. Even in the face of a young man who can’t even compare to his own odds, he now has "respect"-it is not appropriate to see the wind and rudder, because it is enough There are very few people on his own.

"The Angel Plane and Purgatory are in full battle."

Murphy's faint words made William narrow his eyes in an instant.

"What you're worried about hasn't happened yet, because these two groups of guys seem to have mistaken the battlefield-the five lords of purgatory have fallen two, not the angels, but another group of demons from the abyss and sinking. "

silence.

Prince William's original preparation for rubbing his chin stopped completely, and it lasted for more than ten seconds before he recovered from the shock caused by this news-"Where did you get the news?"

"You don't have to ask for it."

A sudden voice rang in the corner of the living room. Ashkandi stepped out in the shadows and appeared silently in front of the two. "William, after such a long time, do you still like that silly trick?"

The red eyes flashed faintly in the gloomy light. Obviously, the queen who had been sealed by the "Prince William" and the elders could not forget those hatreds.

But she didn’t seem to have liquidated it. William told the truth that he was ready to fight at this moment-he had seen the red-eyed Ashcandy’s grumpy temper, but it was unexpected. She sat directly beside Murphys, and the obvious expression of expression made the head of the Cremand family surprised.

And then Ashcandi's movements made him stunned. The horrific existence of the once killing queen, the countless clergy who faced the heretical ruling, retreated, actually raised his palm and put it gently on the ink. Fez's finger.

What is this...demonstration?

Rao is so nervous, he can’t accept the sight of Ashcandy’s friendly and even ambiguous relationship with Murphy—the more ordinary people, the more unreasonable this is, and William is alive. Thousand-year old guys, of course, know how ridiculous it is that a monster that has only been killed for a thousand years suddenly fell in love with a human.

"Forget it, I don't want to mention those things in those days. I guess I can't explain it before you understand your life." William escaped the topic mentioned by Murphys before, and his dodge eyes did not have too much with Ashkandi. Contact, just sighed, "Well, things are beyond my expectations, but I am not here to meet the two of you."

He took out a piece of parchment paper, "There has never been an unwarranted war in this world, but there will be no permanent enemies. The Clement family is now declining. Although it has not reached the point of the elves in your territory, it is obvious , Our influence has dropped a lot."

"The actions of the sacred Gabriel Empire have caused you some trouble?"

Murphy’s finger gently clasped the silent Ashcandy-her appearance must have been the result of the green-eyed personality, otherwise she wouldn’t sleep here in the middle of the night to find the "number one enemy", he could feel To Ashcandi's inner anger, but because he spoke in a calm tone here, Ashcandi showed amazing patience and restraint.

"It’s not simply trouble, since your sources prove that you’ve been to places like purgatory, you should understand that they aren’t just fighting a battle like ours on their territory-they are high-level, no matter how small The wars here are enough to destroy more than five countries, don’t think that the seemingly barbaric guys will not pay any attention to here... On the contrary, they no longer covet the human plane all the time."

William's words showed his sincerity in further talks, "The Holy See has always been committed to killing the Clement, but no one knows what it means."

"Shouldn't they chase you down?"

Murphy shrugged, glanced back at Ashkandi, and said: "In my eyes, they seem to have the same fatherhood as all blood races. Even if I flatten the heretical ruling, I still can't stop it. Their'ambitions.'

The Queen of the Red Eyes involuntarily looked at the confident and calm Murphy in front of her, remembering the scene where he once blasted the whole heretical ruling, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled.

In this scene, William's mouth twitched, but he still calmly replied: "Why do you want to kill? The relationship between the blood and the heresy is not so sharp from the beginning, why do they give you this impression? Just because You are too young to know what happened three hundred years ago-there will be no history books, dictation will only be distorted facts, the only thing that can remember those truths is the old guy like me."

"The war on the mainland is really just caused by human greed? Where did their motives come from?" William's low words caused Murphys to think-"Why do you have to do it for thousands of years? There are countless wars of all sizes, causing countless casualties, causing the lives of charities to become genocide?"

"You mean...shouldn't human nature be like this?"

Murphy's synthesis of William's words came to a very "ridiculous" conclusion-because in his eyes, the dark side of the human heart is always lingering, even if he is strong, he still inevitably has to be in the heart and Not to mention mortals who fight against morality?

"It's just a chessboard, everyone is a chess piece, an unconscious chess piece." Creman pointed to Murphy. "You think everything you do is right, your efforts, your struggle, everything you do , Is a judgment made under the thinking of your own brain, without anyone interfering... so you never feel that you are under control-but the most brilliant chess players are good at this method."

The remarks of the night fantasy.

Murphy was stunned, but Ashcandi stared into William's eyes, seeming to be thinking deliberately.

"That's all I want to say. The Clemente family warned all human powers that no one responded. This is not a coincidence, but a huge trap. My contradiction with Ashkandi... the same is true- The disappearance of the werewolf, the decline of the blood clan, and the battle of humanity are not entirely unreasonable or can only be explained by the words'natural nature'."

"With all these words, the Clemens family welcomes the two to visit at any time. Fighting is not the only way to resolve conflicts, is it?"

Having said that, the best-in-class strongman of the blood race turned to say goodbye and disappeared into the darkness.

"Do you want to ask me why?"

Ashcandi first asked Murphy, his eyes changed from just sharp to gentle, which made Murphy have to sigh that she was still the straight Ashcandi.

"She let you come?"

Murphy was not difficult to guess the reason, but the facts behind it made him a little incomprehensible.

"I can feel her concern for you."

Ashkandi’s eyes turned to the still open door of the Duke’s Palace, "This is the second time...when you were in the arena, I never imagined that she would...plead me to help you. "

The Queen's words made the atmosphere in the living room a little silent, and also made Murphy's psychology a little indepressible.

Who is he in love with?

Nowadays, Murphy can only be called "Ashkandi"-even if it is the black eye aristocrat who once hated him at this moment~www.wuxiaspot.com~ he will not hurt her. Because when a man is willing to save a woman with the hardships of nine deaths, no matter what she will end up with, the past emotion will be as indelible as the marks carved in the atrium.

"Actually...this can only blame myself."

Ashkandi was speaking, and she smiled helplessly, "‘Ashkandi’ was originally just her, and that guy and I are just extra existences, and logically, you just have to deal with her—"

Before she finished speaking, she found that she had been gently embraced by Murphy-this action **** all explanations and nonsense, and made her still slightly want to continue to say something, and then relaxed.

"Whether it's William Creman, the heretical judgment, or the heaven purgatory, those things are the past, and the things in the past... will never stop us from moving forward, will we?"

Murphy gently whispered next to Ashkandi's ear, and the powerful queen in her arms clung to her body. All the indifference once turned into a reply at this time, let Murphy gently Close your eyes, as if you want to remember it forever—

"The way forward, I will go with you."
