The Black Scepter

Thank you【丶】the monthly pass of your friends!

Snow flakes again in the sky.

The road surface is very slippery due to the compacted snow, and the speed of the carriage is very slow. The driver's cry is echoed in the cold mist. The thick fog caused by the snow makes the vision dim and the destination can be seen faintly. ——The dome supported by the huge protective enchantment and covering the whole city of West Sellin.

Lilith opened the car window, her petite little face looked away, her gaze stayed on the junction that could not be covered by the cloud, and then she sat back.

Coming all the way from Byzantium, even though Lilith's carriage was extremely luxurious, she still ran out of four sets of wheels because of this distant road, and she never changed the four of her drivers because of the urging words she never stopped. It is only now that she finally withstood the blizzard and rushed to the "Capital" of the Principality of Lampard, the city of West Sellin.

Today is January 5th. This means that Lilith, who has been walking for nearly a month, spent the important festival of "New Year" alone in the carriage. At this time in previous years, Lilith was celebrating with Constantine and the group of nobles, and even His Majesty Edward III, but this year was clearly an exception-she couldn’t wait to get a heart tied to someone Go to the other party to "account".

From November 18th, neither Duke of Windsor nor Duke Azshara, Lilith could not ask even a little bit of information about Murphys. The father of the prince, who returned from the military retreat, did not know what to do. He was full of unreliable remarks that “if you want to get married, go quickly”, and “you may not be able to line up late”, Lilith is blushing again. Angrily, but helpless, she finally could not bear the inner suffering, she decided to come here in person to see if the **** ignored herself.

In the thick compartment, there is a precious warm August handmade carpet, some classic books are placed on the rosewood bookshelf, some are textbooks in Fording language, and some are compilations of all recent battles. However, the experience of serving in the military has had a lot of influence on her-of course, the most flipped part of the compilation naturally tells about the "Muntal battle".

After taking a few deep breaths, Lilith was actually eager to jump out of the carriage now and rush into the city of West Sellin to get the guy out and scold. But she also understands that her identity at this time is the Lord of Byzantium, and Murphy is the master of a country, with supreme authority, so in front of the civilians, the previous set at Cauchy Knight Academy has long been unworkable- So Lilith sent someone to Lampard to inform the news very early, just thinking about whether or not to let that guy bring some surprises to himself before entering the city.

When it comes to the guy she likes, the girl always likes to "over-imagine" some beautiful things, even Lilith, the knight who has been on the battlefield, is also inevitable-she even wonders whether there will be "flower paving" or a few miles away. Welcome team appeared...

If so, is it a sign of "welcoming relatives"?

Thinking cluttered in his head, Lilith's cheeks turned red unconsciously, and he began to hesitate whether he should hold back a little, refuse first, then agree?

Thinking about it, the carriage swayed slightly, so that she recovered from the beautiful thoughts, reached out and rubbed her red apple-like face, and she found that the speed of the carriage seemed to slow down again, so she couldn't help asking. What happened again?"

The driver knew that every time the speed slowed down a little bit, the lord would become very anxious, and it made people feel that not one person was sitting in the carriage, but a fierce little wolf...so he had a little voice at this time The trembling answer: "Lilis County Lord, the road is too narrow, there is a team in front, we can't go over, we can only follow behind--"

"Stop him and wait for me to go."

Lilith seldom puts on the sheriff's post, as almost nobody knew that she was the daughter of the regiment leader when she was in the army. But at this moment, the lord did not want to control so much, and he continued with some irritability: "It is necessary to compensate them with some gold coins. I don't want to delay the time."

Unexpectedly, the driver replied in a panic and anxious manner: "The county...the master, they--this... seemed to be a princess's convoy."

princess?

Lilith's eyebrows slowly rose, saying that the woman's gossip soul was burning forever. The master of the county was naturally not spared. She immediately flicked into the car window, opened a corner slightly, and pointed out...

At the same time, inside another car.

Princess Xia Lan is looking forward to the mirror specially installed in the carriage, carefully organizing her long hair that has almost become an artwork.

Coming all the way from the port south of Isingle, the princess looked calm, but in fact she was very embarrassed. As a princess of the Ingeway Empire who has never been able to marry, Xia Lan has been a laughing stock in the empire for a long time...Of course, this is not because she is ugly or incompetent, on the contrary, looks The beautiful princesses of the Qingxiu are all beautiful girls that make people shine. In terms of temptation, princesses of various countries come out to line up. No one can compare with Xialan.

But who made her so unlucky? There is such a Queen Elizabeth who does not regard her daughter as a person, coupled with the messy situation in the mainland, Princess Xialan’s experience of several unsuccessful marriages has made her an "abandoned child" of the empire, only since Murphy let her After staying in the Augustus and traveling with the fleet, the princess completely changed her original negative thoughts, and no longer wanted to be a "little complainant" who spit water on Murphy all day long.

In fact, after writing the letter that Murphys brought to her mother, Princess Xiaran began her "plan"-this is the second time she is ashamed to do something... and this" The ultimate goal of the "plan" is clear: marry Murphy.

Obviously, the princess Sharan was preparing to chase down Grand Duke Lampard. But this is definitely not an easy task. Although Xia Lan understands that Murphy has no ill feelings for herself, it is probably not too much to speak of good feelings, so after Murphys left the Augustus, she planned A series of plans were made to improve his image in Murphys.

First, he helped Lampard establish a trading port in Augustus, and then came a fleet and almost a whole shipyard of workers from his mother, the Queen of the Ingeway Empire, to support Murphy’s "maritime career." "Of course, she hurriedly turned her elbows out before marrying. Her behavior caused Queen Elizabeth to roll her eyes, but considering the status of Lampard, the queen did not stop her daughter's behavior, but secretly added a few more A lot of eyes were inserted into the boat, and the right became political investment.

Princess Xialan was so conscientiously running for Murphys, and in the end, she became the main agent of Lampard's maritime trade. Even when the Holy See was fighting around two months ago, the thousands of crossbows were sent by Princess Xia Lan's personal inspection. At that time, Murphy was a little helpless for her to do so, but she finally gave affirmation. , A letter written in person, which kept the princess beauty silly for a long time.

Speaking of "reverse chasing" to chase such a situation, it is also a kind of state...

Now that the war is over, Princess Sharan finally can’t wait to make a request to meet the Grand Duke of Murphy, and the reply letter from the Principality of Lampard is also the word "agree". Although there is no personal payment from Murphy, there is Xia Lan felt that she was one step further from the "target".

"I don't know if I go back and look back. It's been two months since the end of the war. I'm bored in the city every day. I don't even bother to write letters, hum..."

Xia Lan did not have a "creed" source of information in her hands, and she could even be called a block. She only knew that Murphy would never be closed after the war, but she never thought that Murphy would be injured, only When he wanted to rest peacefully for a while...

Today, in this carriage, she dresses up beautifully and beautifully. Sharan aims to leave a "deep" impression on Murphy, who hasn't seen for a long time, in order to further achieve her goals... The thought of Sisylin City ahead is her mind Li has begun to simulate how he faced Murphy when he walked out of the carriage...

Xia Lan's abacus is not bad, but just when she thought about seeing Murphy and her heart beat faster, the clamor of the rear convoy made her frown slightly.

"what happened?"

The driver was part of the Royal Ingeway family and wore a stylish fur coat, well-trained and unsmiling. Hearing Xia Lan's question, he immediately replied: "His Royal Highness, there is a team behind to try to negotiate with us, hoping to step into the city first."

This is a more polite statement. In fact, in Ingeway, no nobles—even the Duke’s team—can’t find the princess to make such a request. Although it is not Ingeway here, the flags and emblems of the Ingeway Imperial family are clearly placed here, and the "Princess" is not a noble everywhere. From a diplomatic point of view, this team also represents Ingeway Royal family.

"Which team?"

Xia Lan's thoughts turned to electricity, and immediately realized that what she encountered was probably not an ordinary person. It was not far from the gate of Sisselin. Ordinary people could not commit to provoke the royal family in a hurry. Is there another purpose?

The coachman talked to the soldiers behind the princess convoy, and then reported: "His Royal Highness is the convoy of the Byzantine royal family... a member of the Langinus family... the lord."

After listening to this, Princess Xia Lan's brow gradually raised...

……………………………………………

The city of Sisselin did not stop due to severe cold and heavy snow.

The workers are building the city with enthusiasm, and some streets will even feel overcrowded in the afternoon. Various caravans take root here, completely breaking the law of "winter business is difficult to do" and earning money. Full.

The city defense teams that shuttled through the streets of the city were well organized and equipped even better than the Imperial Guards of most countries, so that any unruly Xiao Xiao did not have the courage to rise up to resist. Obviously, under the training of the two northern nobles Heisel and Hegel, the current order and security of the city have been extremely effectively guaranteed. The rule is stable and stable, and no hidden dangers have been seen.

In the past two months, businessmen and civilians have gradually adapted to the pace of the city’s rapid development. The rise in living standards has made them no longer worry about their livelihoods. The beggars everywhere in other cities are now almost extinct in West Sellin and newly established The monasteries and shrines provide ample food and warm accommodation for disabled soldiers and civilians. There are often nobles on the street who give bread to poor people. Although believers have different beliefs, they all have a good heart.

This city, which has not been traumatized by war, may be the most stable area on the mainland.

However, on the afternoon of January 5th, the 2,000 heavily armed soldiers who suddenly rushed to the streets still scared the merchants who had just ran from the theater.

Is it possible... to fight again?

Lampard’s policy of excellent soldiers combined with unparalleled wealth makes ordinary infantry equipped with luxurious full-body metal armor, and today the soldiers who suddenly ran outside the city gate uniformly put on more exaggerated heavy infantry The special armor is almost armed to the teeth. In his hand is a steel spear with a length of more than two meters, running like a kind of steel monster.

The soldiers who had gone through the war are now not the Maotou drilled by Heisel. After standing upright, the steel spear uniformly muffled to the ground, and it was really full of anger.

The team extended from outside the city gate to the city. All the civilians along the way were stopped on both sides of the team. The civilians who had just been scared enough to find out that...these soldiers were here to welcome any important people. It had nothing to do with fighting.

But such a battle is the first time for the Principality of Lampard, people can't help but wonder... what is the identity of the person who is about to enter the city? Could it be ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ or a certain king?

The soldiers holding spears formed the steel walls, and a team of reception ceremonial officials ran out of the city. The ground along the street was cleaned by the team that followed them, and then began to be magically baked by more than ten mages. Baking and drying, so that the road is smooth and suitable for carriage passing... This kind of careless appearance makes people more curious, but they will never think of it-at this time, the two "guests" to be greeted by the Principality are looking at each other. .

Two carriages of different styles were parked in front of the Sisselin city gate, and the honor guard and other carriages used to show their identity were parked in the distance. Lord Lilith wore a purple cloak, and the golden embroidered lines showed her noble status. But in front of her a dozen meters, Princess Xia Lan, who tightly tightened the snow-white cloak, brushed the snow off the shoulders, He lifted his chin slightly, and reserved himself.

From the moment they stepped off the carriage, these two girls who didn't like to stand on the shelf in the past wished to be more reserved than anyone, and they didn't say a word, but this kind of pretentious scooping was more royal than royal.

Occasionally, the eyes of the two will be raised and touched at the same time, as if there is a spark in the blink of an eye, and then they will move away casually...

"Sovereign? Byzantium? Is it a mistress who has had a relationship?"

Princess Xia Lan bit her lips slightly, and the soul of the gossip in her heart did not know how many identities had been discharged from Lilith.

"Princess? Ingway Empire? Is it the object of the marriage...?"

Lilith tried not to let her eyes stay on Xia Lan's body, but her mouth was slightly pursed-Murphy, how many women have you provoked?
