Kaloz may not be very good in terms of heritage, but she's also a true lich. Not to mention, under the transformation of Master Reginord, he has also successfully undergone a transformation. As he whispered, the 'Ode to the Dead' was clearly reacting.

There was a 'bang' sound, and it seemed that he was resisting and struggling, not wanting to leave Raphael's body at all, obviously using Raphael's body as a warm nest. But with Kaloz's continued casting, the 'Ode to Death' finally showed a hint of loosening and began to shrink slowly.

This gave Raphael a chance to fight back with the Eternal Tree's gauntlets and the fragments of the Eternal Shield, and the counterattack was very fast, recovering the lost territories one by one, and nourishing the eroded flesh and blood by the way. Finally, with the staff in Kaloz's hand, the Ode of Death once again turned into a tiny dark green chain and returned to Kaloz's hand.

"It's a good thing the user's methods are too clumsy, otherwise this thing really wouldn't be so easy to take out." Carloz said with a little rejoicing, if this is really a high-level lich cast, even if he does not die, then Raphael may be no different from a vegetative person now.

However, this also made Kaloz can't help but look at Raphael a few more times, even if the means are clumsy, but this is a 'death ode' after all, Raphael can still maintain a clear mind and counterattack ability when attacked by this thing, which is really amazing.

"This thing is even the consultation money you took out for me." Raphael saw that Carlos was interested in this thing, and said it very generously. Although this thing is good, it still has many inconveniences in holding it in your own hands. If nothing else, he won't be able to handle this thing well, so it's better to put it in the hands of someone who knows how to use it.

"Thank you, sir!" When Carloz heard this, he said happily. Needless to say, this thing is precious, and it is impossible to forge such a thing without thousands of years. Now that he has picked up a ready-made one, how could Kaloz not be excited.

As Carloz removed the 'Carol of Death' from Raphael's body, Captain Van Persie and the others escorted the four to Raphael's body, and they were not embarrassed at the moment, far from their previous spirits. Raphael's order to keep them alive was not to make them miserable.

"Please dispose of it Your Highness."

"Carlos, these guys are in your hands, you know what to do." Raphael spoke to the lich who was playing 'Ode to the Dead'. The means of interrogation are no longer effective against such people, but the undead have the means to make such people speak, and 'soul extraction' and 'soul searching' are all excellent means.

"Of course, sir. Whatever you want to know, I'll let them tell you about it. "Carloz placed the 'Ode to the Dead' on his waist, and the chain began to stretch out, turning into a belt-like ornament that looked eerie. Between the words, the 'Hand of the Wraith' was used to hold these guys up, and the four of them were easily held up in the air with dead faces.

Under the city walls, those lords were also arrested one by one, and the strength shown by Raphael made them no longer have the heart to resist, the consequences of using the mantis arm as a car? There is only one way to die.

"Clean up the mess and let Jarvis give me a result when the time comes. As for the lords, the old way. First sweet and then bitter, if there is something you don't understand, I'll leave it to you. Raphael said to Jack Kenway, then turned to look at Kaloz.

"No problem."

"Of course, it's my pleasure."

The two bowed in reply, and Raphael walked into the city wall tired. Although this battle was thrilling, fortunately he became the final victor, and the reward was not small, at least he was able to establish his voice in the Bartholomew region in one fell swoop. The consolidation of several provinces will also greatly increase the access to various resources.

The mansion of Grand Duke Blumerta Louis Pöshings

Although it is a large complex, there are no extravagant expenses in it. They are made of inexpensive building materials, and they don't look at all like the abode where a long-established grand duke would live. However, it is very much in line with the image of Archduke Louis Perchens as a thrifty and loving man.

But this is only the appearance, and underneath the mansion, all kinds of noble portraits and lavish ornaments dot an underground palace, which is patrolled by serious looking guards, although there is no invasion of foreign enemies in this place. But that doesn't stop their attitude.

At this moment, in a softly lit house, Lord Louis Pershings was half-lying on the soft fur of the monster, quietly listening to the message from his men. But the more he listened, the more gloomy the expression on his face became.

"What? Can't even do such a trivial thing with this group of garbage? I gave them such a detailed plan, and it all fell through. Instead, it's all become the wedding dress on this guy? ”

"Yes, Grand Duke. In this battle, everything had been carried out according to the orders of the adults, but there were many complications in it, and people who were not in the information jumped out one after another, and all of our plans were disrupted at once. Let this 'lion king' take the advantage. On the side, there was an old man dressed in a gorgeous robe with a withered face. He was so thin that he was worried that a gust of wind would sweep him away.

Then, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, the old man told Archduke Louis Perchens all the things.

"Hide, backup. It looks like this lion is really in a position. After listening to the old man's words, Archduke Louis Perchens could only sigh softly. Things have developed to the point where they are now, and it is not easy to grasp such an opportunity.

"But it also gave us a little bit of a touch of the other party's bottom, and the loss was worth it. Let those people re-establish a scouting station near Bartholomew, I need to know the lion's movements at all times. This man is so restless that he is a big variable for many of our plans. Archduke Louis Perchens reached out and took a piece of juicy flesh from a fruit bowl on the table and swallowed it.

"Don't worry, Grand Duke. I've left those fellows in Bartholomew City on standby, and I'll give them orders later. The old man seemed to have known that the Grand Guild of Louis Perchens had commanded this, and stroked his gray beard as he spoke.

Archduke Louis Perchens nodded at first, and then said angrily, "We really didn't expect that the 'Dark Hand' under the god of tyranny would fall short in the end, which we never expected. The fact that this twilight empire has not died has really given the Ottore family some more time to survive. But this time there was a ball that messed up the game, and next time it won't be so good. ”

"Grand Duke, are you going to start that plan?" There was a look of excitement on the old man's face.

"Isn't this a good opportunity for the orcs to attack? As for Rafael Abraham's ball, since he has disappeared from our eyes with his own knowledge, it is okay to let him live a few more days. When the Ottore Empire is under our control, isn't it at our disposal that a small ant? Archduke Louis Perchens' eyes flashed with a glint that reflected the fire beside him, making his eyes seem to be shining with a raging fire.

"I want to be a wise choice, Grand Duke."

Blomerta Royal Palace

"Interestingly, this lion cub has made quite a splash in the Bartholomew area." Ottore XI saw a message from the Imperial Inspectorate in his hand, and a smile of incomprehensibility appeared on his face.

"Father, if he stirs things up like this, it makes our position a little embarrassing. After all, it is the 'lion king' recognized by our royal family, is it a little bad to ignore our rules so much now? Rupert Ottore did not understand why Ottore XI was so happy, and could not help but raise his own doubts.

"So, your vision is not as good as your big brother. Maybe even your little brother can see the long way than you. Ottore XI said with some hatred that iron is not made of steel.

"The younger brother and the eldest brother are very interested in this aspect, and it's normal for me to be unable to compare with them." Rupert Ottore touched his nose very carelessly, and was not embarrassed by this.

"You, instead of being ashamed, are proud. You only see the appearance, but not the inside. That's right, this lion cub looks lawless. But it would make people think that this is a signal flare from our Ottore royal family, reminding those restless guys to put our tails between our legs and be people, which is more than the lack of some territory. ”

"Besides, I'm a little uneasy about the orcs' movements. Putting him under the light will take some of the stress off our shoulders. ”

The Orcs love nothing more than to kill the most popular ones to spread fear and achieve their strategic goals. They have done this many times, so the stronger Raphael's strength, the happier Ottore XI will be.

"Do you need me to lead troops to help Big Brother?" After listening to this, Rupert Ottore grasped the most important point and asked aloud.

"You, you just want to leave Bloomerta, I can't see through this thought? But not now, the message from your eldest brother has made me more and more convinced that there is something wrong with this guy Louis Perchens, and I need you to stay behind to protect the safety of the Imperial City. Ottore XI's eyes were thoughtful, and he was thinking about how he could defuse such a dangerous time bomb.

"I see." Rupert Ottore had some regret in his heart, but he also knew which of the two things was more important.

In the Bloomer Tower, it seems that another dark cloud is converging, as if it wants to turn into a rainstorm to engulf the ship of the Ottore royal family......

……

After two weeks of repairs, Raphael finally recovered. The handover of Bartholomew City, the recovery of the surrounding territories are all in an orderly manner, and the letters that have been sent to the city lord's mansion of Bartholomew City are all good news that is pleasant to the body and mind.

Gloria Crane knocked on Raphael's study with nervousness, and the two-week closure made Gloria Crane a little worried about whether Raphael would forget what had been finalized earlier. Will this 'lion king' sit on the ground and raise the price because of this? The thought was firmly in control of her thoughts, so after sending several letters, she finally got a response.

"Marquis Raphael." Walking into it, looking at Raphael, who was taking care of business, Gloria Crane called out in a low voice.

"Lady Gloria Crane, it's a pleasure to be alive to see you again." Raphael was no longer as haggard as he was today, his face was ruddy, and he looked very energetic.

"Marquis Raphael laughed, your move really let me know what it means to be hidden." Gloria Crane knew that this was the other party's joke about the last time she said that she would send troops to help, and she also understood that the young man's words last time were not alarmist, and this was really not something that their Principality of Bamorroton could participate in casually.

"I just don't know when the last time we worked together will begin?" Gloria Crane said what she was trying to say in a cryptic way.

"Immediately, I took this matter very seriously. It's still the same conditions, it's still the same plan, no problem, Ms. Gloria Crane? ”

When Raphael said this again, Gloria Crane nodded busily, and it was really not as good as the original performance. originally thought that Raphael was taking advantage of them, but with Raphael's hole cards unveiled one by one, she felt that the other party's offer was indeed very reasonable.

Diplomacy can only be called diplomacy if each has equal strength.

Standing in the floor-to-ceiling windows of his study and watching Gloria Crane and Parker Dew depart, Raphael thought.

There was a soft knock on the door again, "Come in." Retracting his gaze, Raphael spoke.

"Your Highness, a letter from the Land of Ice and Snow." Captain Van Persie walked in, and his excellent ability and strength allowed them to take over the work of the guard.

"Show me it."

He took the letter, wiped the fire poke from it, and shook the letter inside.

The content of the content is to congratulate themselves on the promotion of their knighthood, and at the same time point out later that they wish they could go to the Ice and Snow Country, and they need Raphael's help in some things.

Before returning to his desk, Raphael's fingers tapped lightly on the wooden table, and he wondered if he should make a trip, "What happened in the Land of Ice?" Why did you suddenly call me over? Could it be that there is a problem with the tomb group of the Dark Elf Clan? ”
