Age of Mysticism

The tree branches all over the house receded gradually, and Sylvia's headless body fell to the ground. The room returned to its original appearance, and the flame in the middle was gradually extinguished as it swayed.

The holy flame on the knife also dissipated, and then disappeared into Qing Kong's hands, and the fluorescent machete flew for a circle and was retracted into the scabbard.

Darkness filled the space, and the figure in the clear sky disappeared as the last ray of light disappeared.

Before the general attack was launched, Qingkong made sufficient preparations for facing the sixth apostle Silvia. She not only seized the time to restore the battery, but also previewed a lot of information related to Sylvia.

Sylvia is the most low-key apostle in the Abyss Temple. She is obsessed with studying the secrets of the Abyss and has almost never left the main part of the temple. Probably because of this reason, the chance of her being instigated by others is very low, so she was entrusted with the important task of following Erguya to the west.

In terms of actual combat experience, Silvia is inferior to other apostles. But as the chief engineer of the defense of the headquarters of the Abyssal Temple, if she fights at home, the strength she can display is second only to the first apostle Victor.

However, Qingkong sent the deadliest misinformation to the Abyss Temple, which made the surviving Abyss Apostles start to suspect each other. In addition, the strategy of the Western Region was too important to the Tedgar Hills War, so the Temple of the Abyss could only send Sylvia over.

Sylvia, who left the Abyss Temple, is the weakest apostle of the Abyss, and Clear Sky discovered the correct use of the power of the World Tree.

Within the coverage of the root system left by the previous generation of the World Tree, the Moonlight Queen can use the power of the World Tree to invoke the power of the World Tree. This is a force that allows five ancient civilizations to compete and even destroy them. Even though the power of the previous World Tree was greatly weakened due to the destruction of the trunk, Qingkong's strength can still easily reach the strength of a super six-star by virtue of the energy retained by the root system.

And with the rapid growth of the new generation of World Tree, Qingkong's strength has the potential to reach the peak of the five ancient civilizations.

With the deepening of experience... Clear Sky felt that the power of the World Tree allocated from the Moonlight Tree King was not the power he understood at the beginning, but the authority to use the super weapon of the World Tree.

Now this super weapon can only be used in the western region by relying on the root system of the previous generation of World Tree. I wonder what will happen to the Moonlight Tree King after it grows up?

Luke was looking forward to it.

The boiling battle team rushed into the courtyard after killing Erguya. Earl Ould saw that the victory was sealed, so he also sent out his strongest guard team.

The blood-sworn barbarians and abyss mages, who were at a disadvantage in numbers at the beginning, can still hold on with their strength several grades higher. But the battle without support greatly consumed their strength and magic power. After being attacked by a powerful unit for a round, the defense line collapsed instantly.

The army was defeated like a mountain, without Erguya and Silvia, the remaining barbarians and abyss mages were divided and surrounded, and finally killed by random knives in what they thought was the night of victory.

The battle stopped abruptly at a certain point, and the spacious courtyard was filled with corpses. Sunrise City soldiers and imperial spies searched every house, or treated the wounded, or dragged out the enemy's corpse and threw it into the cleared space in the courtyard.

Earl Ould held a roster and asked his subordinates to identify the corpses one by one with a torch. After confirming that it was him, he put an X next to the corresponding name on the roster.

Luke retracted the Taotie and stood on the sidelines to supervise the cleaning of the battlefield.

Sitting in the corner of the wall, Boiling took his broken arm and placed it on the opening. Sandpaper and Kestrel used existing tools to make emergency repairs for Boiling.

Kuaileg has long hidden his tracks, hiding somewhere to monitor the audience.

Shelley walked in from the outside, and she came to Luke's side to report: "Master Governor, the results here have been sent to Her Royal Highness the Princess. Your Highness, please handle the affairs here as soon as possible with Earl Ould, and head to the castle Join the meeting."

Luke watched Earl Ould count the corpses, and at the same time asked Shelley: "What is the reaction of those Western nobles?"

"The sound of the battle here is over, all the nobles in the western region retreated, and obeyed His Highness's order... walked alone across the ice and entered the castle.

My lord, you haven't seen that scene, those big shots are walking on the ice tremblingly like bereaved dogs. There are a few old people with bad legs and feet, and they have fallen several times, so they can only climb towards the castle.

This time, you have saved a lot of face for Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess! "

Pisco showed his robotic arm, and said in agreement: "I heard that the western region is very dangerous, so I specially found sandpaper to give my arm a high-level maintenance before I came here.

I didn't expect to finish the fight before it was my turn.

My lord, although I have been upgraded to a senior agent, but in the future there will be fights, don’t just use sandpaper, boil this low-level agent, let me play a bit..."

Luke smiled and said, "For sure next time!"

Shelley and Pisco are old employees who follow Luke, and their job levels rise with Luke's promotion.

In Pisco's eyes, sandpaper is a maintenance worker, and boiling is a war machine. They are all ordinary Secret Service employees, so naturally they can't be compared with a senior spy like himself.

Luke was too lazy to explain to a fool like Pisco.

At this time Earl Ould came over with the roster: "My lord... After Erguya brought people into the quiet court, I sent someone to register their personnel.

Now after my own verification, all barbarians and abyss mages are here except Abyss Apostle Sylvia. "

"Sylvia is here!" Qing Kong appeared aside, she left Sylvia's body and turned to leave.

Luke took the roster from the dumbfounded Earl Uld, read it through, and put an X behind Sylvia's name.

Then close the roster and hand it to Shelley next to him for safekeeping.

"Earl, His Royal Highness the Princess invited the nobles of the Western Region to the Central Island Castle for a meeting. The other nobles have arrived, so you and I are the only ones left.

I will leave it to my subordinates to deal with it here, and we don't want His Highness to wait too long. "

"Yes, yes, yes...Your Highness can't be kept waiting. Your Excellency, please!"

Luke and Earl Ould came to the lake. The lake in other directions was covered with ice, and only here was still rippling.

A magical rainbow bridge was released from the castle on the central island, and the rainbow bridge quickly extended close to the lake, and then a group of royal knights escorted a carriage galloping across the bridge.

The horse is covered with embroidered gold cloth armor, and the forehead of the horse helmet is equipped with spikes that resemble unicorn horns. The knight on horseback sat upright, holding a knight's sword in one hand, and a knight's shield engraved with the royal family crest in the other.

The decoration of the carriage is extraordinarily gorgeous. On the basis of extensive use of gold ornaments and gemstone decorations to highlight the majesty of the royal family, the curved corners are often used to show the graceful style of the royal princess.

The four horses pulling the cart all have light golden fur. When running, the horseshoes landed and spread in the wind, leaving luminous horseshoe prints for a long time before they went out.

The royal knights and carriages arrive just as the enchanted rainbow bridge reaches Luke and Lord Ould.

The carriages turned around, and the royal knights adjusted their ranks.

A female officer opened the door from the carriage and came down, saluting Luke and Earl Ould respectfully: "Governor Meteorite, Earl Ould, Your Royal Highness Princess invites the two adults to attend the meeting of Lords of the Western Territory."

The standard of greeting was very different from those of the western nobles who walked alone on the ice.

Luke and Earl Ould got into the carriage and ran towards the Castle of Central Island with the royal knights.

In the main entrance hall of Central Lake Castle, a large long conference table is placed in the middle. A large candle-fired chandelier hangs from the ceiling above, and the walls are filled with torches. The heavily armed guards stood around the meeting table at a distance of less than 30 centimeters. Their hands were placed on the hilts at their waists, and they could be drawn out at any time.

Sitting on both sides of the conference table were the nobles of the Western Region who had been "invited" to attend the conference. They squatted in their respective positions one by one like mourning concubines, breathing carefully and not daring to have any communication, and from time to time quietly observed the eldest princess on the main seat.

Agatha was sitting on the throne. She was wearing the imperial armor, her golden hair was tied into a princess bun, and she was wearing a princess crown representing the eldest princess.

Facing the group of western nobles who had spoken rudely just now and wanted to kill her, Agatha didn't say a word, but carved a puppet on a piece of wood with a carving knife.

The carving knife was very sharp, and there was no other sound in the hall except the sound of the blade cutting wood.

Suddenly the door of the hall was pushed open, and two teams of royal knights walked in surrounded by Luke and Earl Ould. The metal boots made a clanging sound when they stepped on the slate floor, and the armor rubbed against each other.

Luke walked to Agatha's side, presented the roster with both hands, and said in a powerful voice: "His Royal Highness, Earl Ould and I led the Imperial Secret Service and Sunshine City Sergeants to wipe out the lurking soldiers after a battle. Enter the rebels inside the Sunshine Manor.

A total of 215 barbarians, 36 abyss mages, and 78 human subordinates.

The rebel leader Erguya and the abyss apostle Silvia were beheaded.

All the corpses of the rebels were personally confirmed by Earl Ould, and the personnel matched the records in the roster.

Please review the princess! "

Agatha put the half-carved doll and carving knife on the table, and took the roster handed over by Luke to examine it carefully.

And asked: "Have you not been caught alive?"

Luke replied: "The rebels will fight to the death and will not surrender. They will all die in battle."

"That is to say... there is no way to ask Erguya who she met after she came to the Western Region?"

Luke replied: "I'm afraid I can't ask. Unless...the person who met Erguya took the initiative to come forward and admit it."

Agatha looked at the nobles at the conference table.

The scene fell into extreme silence, and the nobles of the western region tried their best to hold their breath, for fear that Agatha would notice the loud panting.

With a "snap", Agatha threw the roster on the table, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.

Then Agatha stood up and said to everyone: "Your matter is very serious, but I don't want to make the situation in the western region get out of hand. I know your thoughts, but I don't want to talk about it, and I don't want to listen to you." explain.

This meeting will be handed over to the deputy envoy, Governor Meteor.

I hope you can give me a satisfactory result so that the Harvest Festival can proceed smoothly. "

After speaking, Agatha turned around and left the venue accompanied by the female officer and guards.

Luke immediately sat on the main seat, and then patted the position on the left to let Earl Ould sit down.

Then Luke took a look at the unfinished wooden doll on the table, smiled and let the followers behind him take it away and return it to Agatha.

"Good evening, all the lords of the Western Territory! Your Highness the Eldest Princess handed over the chair of the meeting to me. I think you all understand His Highness's intentions.

Humans make mistakes!

Although you all had the idea of ​​offending the eldest princess, but in the end you didn't take any action, which shows that you still have awe of the empire. Knowing the error in time, correcting the error, saved your life. "

The eldest princess left the venue to avoid a direct collision between the imperial power and the local lord's power, and the nobles in the western region knew that their lives were saved. This time, the governor of Meteorite said it himself, which made the nobles of the western region let go of their hanging hearts.

The oppressive atmosphere became slightly relaxed, and the nobles finally dared to move their bodies and move their stiff muscles and bones a little.

"However, everyone must give the empire an explanation, right? Otherwise, if any small character comes to the western region to lobby for a few words, you will be so hot-headed that you want to rebel, and the western region will definitely not be handed over to your management."

All the nobles of the Western Region looked at Luke, and then at Earl Ould.

They haven't figured it out yet, it's clear that I have the advantage and the situation is good, why did you betray me at this critical moment?

The empire wants to explain, but how can we give an explanation if the situation is unclear?

The nobles of the western region who saved their lives felt that the empire had to rely on the lords of the western region to stabilize the western region, so they gradually became bolder.

They all thought about how to escape from here. As long as they returned to their territory safely, the western region was still the western region for the nobles of the western region.

There were more whispers, and there was a buzz.

The atmosphere of the venue was changing rapidly, and the nobles of the western region who had recovered their breath felt that they were doing well again.

Earl Ould saw the changes in the expressions of the nobles, and knew that these idiots were about to commit stupidity.

In order not to let them hurt him, Earl Ould said: "My lord...the World Tree has been revived, and the Moonlight King's Court was established in the grassland of the ancestors. This is a major event that affects the situation in the entire western region.

You have a deep relationship with the Queen of the Moonlight Court. Could you please introduce the newly established Moonlight Court so that we lords of the western region can know how to get along with this new neighbor in the future. "

The voice in the hall disappeared in an instant, and all the nobles of the western region looked at Uld with their heads stretched out, ears pricked up, and incredulous expressions.

Thought:

What did Uld just say? The world tree is revived! The Moonlight Royal Court was established in the grassland of the ancestors!

Either I heard wrong, or you are talking nonsense.

The world tree that has been destroyed for thousands of years has been revived, what are you kidding here!

Earl Ould knew what these nobles were thinking. If he hadn't sent someone to the grassland of the ancestors to verify, he would not have believed that the world tree would recover at this time.

In order to suppress the luck in the hearts of the nobles and accept the fact that the western region is no longer the same as before, Urd said to the nobles again: "This morning, the subordinates I sent to the grassland of the ancestors came back and told me that what he saw with his own eyes Awakened the revived World Tree, and accepted the summon of the Moonlight Queen.

Now the news of the establishment of the Moonlight Royal Court is being transmitted from the grassland of the ancestors to the entire western region, and the news will reach Sunshine City by tomorrow morning at the latest.

Guys, please be realistic! "

After listening to Earl Ould's words, if it wasn't for the guards standing behind him, these western nobles would have rushed over and strangled Ould to death.

You got the news that the World Tree was revived in the morning, and the Moonlight Kingdom was established in the grassland of the ancestors. Why didn't you say it at the Erguya meeting.

You betrayed all the nobles in the western region just to grab this information window and sell us to make your contribution.

Ould... Ould!

Do you still have the dignity of nobility?

The nobles of the western region who were miserably vomited blood in their hearts, but it was of no avail. Put yourself in his shoes, if you were Uld, you wouldn't be more respectable than what he did.

The most important thing now is to stop the loss, there is no need to think about anything other than saving your life and family.

The nobles in the western region sat upright one after another, like elementary school students waiting for their teacher to speak.

In a short period of time, the speed at which the nobles changed their faces made Luke amazed.

He said: "About the Moonlight King's Court...you just need to know that I am the chief assistant minister of the Moonlight King's Court. The Moonlight King's Court has no territorial disputes with you. Without orders from me and the Moonlight Queen, the Moonlight King's Court will not carry out any military operations abroad.

As the chief assistant of the Moonlight Royal Court, I hope to build a railway linking the Royal Court and the Empire.

Lords, there should be no objection, right? "
