Eagle Flag of Epirus

"With the power of the Latins... are you crazy, Lord Leosgros? You should know what this means!" Count Conil's face became big when he learned of the crazy plan of the man in front of him. Under the current empire situation, doing so is tantamount to pushing them to the forefront of the storm and extinction from the world. More importantly, it is extremely dangerous to allow Latins to go south, and a little carelessness may be playing with fire and self-immolation.

However, Leosgros sneered: "Conil, do you know why you can only huddle here for so many years. You can neither fight the Macedonian faction who is in charge of the temple or the Oriental faction who controls the soldiers and horses?" It’s just that you and those guys always look forward and backward in this way, arguing at both ends for the benefit of their eyes, so much so that they are so embarrassed by Justinian.”

"But can they really be used by us?"

"Of course you can. The Latins in the Achaia state are no more than a child in the city of Corinth in name. They are actually just a mess of sand for gain. As for what you are worried about, it is impossible to happen. If they really had this ability, they wouldn’t have had their own ghosts at the beginning. And compared to us, I’m afraid it’s Justinian who is even more afraid of Justinian when Justinian placed the two companies of the Agrinion Corps in Everything was proved in the city of Argos. Allowing the political presence of the Latins in Corinth was just a stopgap measure. So at this time, if we reach out to them, where will the Latins refuse?" Osgros said in a very calm tone, but in fact his plan was already brewing before he returned with the power of the Venetian. A man who is confident that there is absolutely no possibility of a difference, his eyes are already shining with the light of the winner at this moment.

But just when most of Moria's nobles thought that their side had secured a chance to win, they didn't even know that Justinian had arrived under Tripolis under their noses.

However, Justinian did not choose to sneak into the city. After all, just relying on a few words from the rebel prisoners to act rashly would be tantamount to setting fire to the body. He chose to come to the monastery that had been reduced to ruins on the hills outside the city. According to the unified statement of the prisoners, Princess Odosia’s mother and daughter disappeared here. But despite the last glimmer of hope, here, Justinian did not find any clues about Princess Odosia, mother and daughter, and this made Justinian feel a little frustrated for a while.

Although everything burned by the fire is full of scorched earth and ruins, it cannot erase the traces of a despicable betrayal. Even if he didn't see those who were loyal to themselves fight all the battles to the last moment, but Justinian stood among the gravel and rubble, but he really felt the cruelty of the killing. Guilt, anger, and sorrow poured into my mind so intensely from the bottom of my heart, that kind of heart-wrenching pain is beyond words. Justinian fell to his knees among the hard rubble, only to feel a splitting headache. At the same time, falling from the clouded sky was icy fine snow, which was not dense at first, like catkins in the wind, but not. After a while, the ground will be white. This snow brought Moria in late autumn into winter, and also brought Justinian's heart into the cold ice cave. Looking at the white flowers around him, the flying snow that came this time seemed to be against him, and he wanted to swallow all the last things here, even Justinian would not have a chance to chew his regret.

And this completely caused the boy's depressed heart to burst out at this moment, "Damn, damn, damn..." The boy who had been muttering to himself snarled suddenly, and the lake-blue eyes were also beating with rage. As if to vent, Justinian slammed a fist on the ground that was dissatisfied with the bricks and stones beside him, leaving his fists bloodless, as if he could not feel the pain at all.

Punch after punch, but when Justinian raised his scarred fist and continued to destroy himself, his blood accidentally splashed on the locket that had been hanging around his neck. The drop of blood disappeared in an instant, as if it had penetrated directly and disappeared. At this moment, the ark that had been sleeping since Justinian successfully escaped from Alex III was magically produced at this moment. reaction.

The dazzling light from the locket tore through the darkness of Xueye, and at the same time, the sound that had made Justinian fearful also rang in his ears.

"It's still useless as always. I didn't save you to make you so self-defeating."

As indifferent and immature as before, the ark of the covenant lingering in Justinian’s ear only made him feel a moment of terror. Of course he still remembers the one-year covenant with the other party. The ark is like Damocli hanging above his head. Sword. But now that most of the time has passed, what is "it" for waking up at this time?

Trying to calm down his fluctuating emotions, Justinian forcibly calmly said: "Aren't you sleeping all the time, what do you want to do when you appear? Although I have found the second fragment, it is not in my hands yet. ."

"It is precisely because of this that I have to come out to clean up the mess for you! Don't forget, I saved you in the first place. And your life is not entirely yours." In the white light, that indifferent one The voice was so rare that there was a hint of mockery.

And this also made Justinian feel a little angry, and said coldly: "You don't need to remind you about this. Since I have promised you, I will naturally fulfill my promise at that time, and I will give you my life. "

"Oh, listening to your tone, it seems pretty sure. Then, it doesn't matter if you don't tell you where the mother and daughter are?" The white light and shadow let out a chuckle again.

This made Justinian's heart suddenly tightened at this moment, and subconsciously asked: "What did you say?!" There is no doubt that the "mother and daughter" in the mouth of the ark must refer to the mother and daughter of Odosia. But how does "it" know where they are. But the depths of Justinian's heart were telling him that the white light and shadow in front of him didn't mean to deceive him. Looking at the ark of the covenant floating in the air, Justinian showed anxious eyes.

Looking at Justinian's anxious expression, the white light and shadow did not ridicule again at this moment, but turned into a white light and shot towards the depths of the ruins of the monastery.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't you want to find them? Hurry up and follow up!"

Hearing that immature and indifferent voice again, Justinian, who had just reacted, quickly stood up from the ground. Although he had been kneeling for a long time for two days, his legs were numb, but he did not hesitate to follow.

I saw that the white light shuttled to a clearing among the dilapidated monastery and finally stopped, and said to Justinian faintly: "It's right here."

"Here?" Seeing everything in the open space in front of him, Justinian was completely stunned. He didn't understand what the ark of the covenant meant by bringing him here, because there was obviously nothing here. However, when he was about to continue to ask questions, suddenly his eyes fell on the flat masonry floor, and he seemed to realize something. The entire ruined monastery is covered with rubble and rubble, but why is it so clean and there is nothing? There were no traces of the fire, and the marble floor was not blackened. Perceiving the strangeness, Justinian finally understood why the ark of the covenant brought himself here. But here is an empty piece of land, where are Odosia and the others?

Just as Justinian was puzzled, the ark suspended in mid-air whispered in a calm tone: "There are lies in the truth, and the reality is hidden in the illusion. What you see It may never be true, and what you suspect may not be false." The words in the light and shadow do not seem to be speaking to Justinian, but to the empty white ground in front of them. However, at the moment when this voice fell. A scene in front of Justinian that could not be described in words happened, as if the space was also distorted at this moment. At this moment, a ball composed of two light curtains wrapped around two human figures appeared in his In view. And Justinian, who witnessed this process with his own eyes, showed a dumbfounded look. Although the ark of the covenant brought himself here and everything that happened before is unbelievable enough, the scene that is happening now is completely shocked. Up him.

Watching the sphere that the light curtain turned into slowly falling, Justinian could see that the people in it were Queen Odosia and her daughter Helena.

"This... this is incredible." The stunned young man slowly recovered after a long time, but he still murmured in his mouth, unable to let go. No wonder Odosia and the others were able to escape the chase of the rebels, but how did they do it? At present, only the fragments of the ark of the covenant can have such a strange ability.

Wait, the fragments of the ark--

Justinian suddenly stopped thinking about something, and when the ark lifted the light curtain, a green matsutake rock floating beside the mother and daughter in the coma finally explained everything for him.

There is no doubt that it was the fragment in the hands of Anastasius and saved the mother and daughter of Odosia. At this time, Justinian also remembered that in Fort Wiscari, the old man had told himself that he could vaguely predict the coming of danger with the help of fragments, so it was only then that Grand Duke Anastasius was able to " It happened to take Odosia and the others to the monastery, and foreseeing that the betrayal of the Papadoulos family protected the mother and daughter from the clutches of Leosgros again. Thinking of this, the guilt in Justinian's heart increased again.

"They should be... okay?" Looking at the unconscious Odosia and Little Helena, although they still have a pulse, they are very weak, which makes Justinian a little worried.

"I think the problem should not be big, but forcibly sending people into the mental space, I am afraid that the damage to the user may be more serious, but if you come a little later, maybe they will stay inside forever." This indifferent voice said at this moment in an unmalicious tone, which made Justinian's heart sink even more, and he was even more worried about the safety of Grand Duke Anastasius. As he guessed, the ability of the ark fragments to activate is really true. All have to pay the corresponding price.

"They know that the ark and their problems are really not big, right? You shouldn't lie to me?" Although they didn't dare to question the ark, Justinian was still a little worried looking at the weak breath of the mother and daughter, and couldn't help again. Asked.

But the hanging ark was too lazy to pay attention to him, "Do you think I will lie to you because of this kind of thing? I have revised their memories, and when they wake up, they won't remember what they experienced during that period of time. , They will also know nothing about the ark of the covenant.” As he said, the group of light and shadow turned to the floating turquoise stone and locked it to devour it, as if felt threatened, only the turquoise stone was seen. Trembling as if about to fly out. But where was the slightest struggling, it was about to be completely swallowed by the white light and shadow.

But at this moment, Justinian suddenly shouted: "Please wait a moment, it is still useful to me."

And this made the blocked ark fragments very unpleasant, and the cold voice in the light and shadow sounded again, "Don't forget the agreement between you and me, more than half of the year has passed~www.ltnovel.com ~If you still can’t find a piece of it, I shouldn’t need to remind you of the consequences. And you are not yet eligible to bargain with me.”

"At least it is still useful to me at the moment. As long as you can agree to my request, I promise that after the agreed time is up, I will be able to get the second fragment." He gritted his teeth and said, Justinian tried to stop the appointment. The cabinet now swallowed the turquoise turquoise stone of Grand Duke Anastasius and even made such a promise, finally stopping the white light and shadow.

"Interesting..." An indifferent voice sounded, and at the same time the struggling turquoise stone was handed over to Justinian's hands, actually agreeing to Justinian's terms.

"Remember what you said, if the time is up, you can't take it out, then I will take back your life."

After speaking this sentence flatly, the light and shadow originally emitted by the ark of the covenant gradually faded and dissipated at this moment, until it returned to its original appearance, and finally changed back to the ordinary locket and returned to Justinian. On his neck. However, the young man had already soaked his back with cold sweat. The fragments of the moody ark had given Justinian his final courage, and his success finally made him exhausted physically and mentally.

Looking at the silent locket, Justinian carefully retracted it into the collar and walked to the side of the unconscious princess Odosia, trying to awaken the emperor. Although there are no rebel guards here, the ark of the covenant wakes up and made such a big disturbance, I absolutely can't stay here anymore, I have to take them out of here anyway.

"your Highness……"

"His Royal Highness Princess Odosia...wake up!"
