Chapter 26 The Doubts of the Year (100 Layers and Changes)
On the four peaks with seats, there is a figure in each of the seats. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info They are all projected to the scene, and the ontology is not here. However, the projection here is no different from the ontology. In the past, when Lilith was asleep, she also appeared as a projection to show her existence.
They were beings of equal status to Lilith, but they all stood up at this moment and bowed slightly to Lilith.
This was not a gesture of surrender, but an expression of gratitude, thanking Lilith for waking up from her long sleep and blocking the heavenly ghosts. In this way, the Eternal Night Camp has more than ten Ancient Essence Fragments to start, and in time, this means that there will be nearly ten more duke-level powerhouses, or the same number of strategic weapons.
After a few more moments of Lilith sat down, the councillors took their seats, and the session of the Eternal Night Council began.
Among the seven peaks, four peaks with seats correspond to the Bloodline, the Demons, the Spider Demons, and the Werewolves, which are now the four major races of the Dark Race. But now the seat to which the werewolf belongs is empty, which is not because the werewolf is absent, but it means that the werewolf clan now has no king who can stand side by side with Lilith and others.
The meeting begins.
First of all, the follow-up of the eternal night, the bottomless vortex left behind by the great battlefield has been named "Sleep of the Behemoth", after a few days of exploration, it can be basically determined that it is the second burial place of the Void Behemoth, through the "Rainbow Light Turbulence" is an endless stone forest canyon, and it is not known where it leads.
The second piece of news concerns Imperial Marshal Lin Xitang, who and Weber, the master prophecy of the Eternal Night Council, have separately calculated the "Sleep of the Behemoth", and neither of them has found anything. But the parliament got a top-secret news that Lin Xitang secretly set off that night and returned to the empire, supposedly due to the recurrence of an old injury.
This news immediately caused heated discussions, and many people thought that Lin Xitang's move was fraudulent, and the imperial side must have discovered something.
The follow-up intelligence from the territory of Daqin seems to be able to support this point of view, Lin Xitang's whereabouts are still unknown, but there are extraordinary movements in the imperial capital, first of all, the one hundred and eight Tianyan soldiers supported by the empire were called into the imperial capital one after another, and then the guards collected a large number of death row soldiers of various races from the surrounding provinces.
This is said to be a preparation for the imperial triennial ceremony, but a discerning person can know at a glance that it is clearly a prelude to the deduction of the highest level of blood sacrifice.
After a heated discussion, the Council of the Eternal Night decided to let Master Weber continue to prophesy, and at the same time recruit a number of strong people from various clans who are proficient in the art of derivation to calculate the "Sleep of the Behemoth" together. At the same time, the Council of the Eternal Night has finally made up its mind to break the current state of temporary truce, and send heavy troops to gain control of the "Sleep of the Behemoth" and the surrounding territory, and drive the powerful of the empire away.
The Queen of the Night is on the throne, and her eyes are deep and endless blood, like a sea of blood, with no end. She was silent, every major event that shook the dark world discussed by the councillors below, and maybe even another all-out war, was a trivial matter to her, and it didn't even deserve her attention.
It wasn't until the councillors began to discuss the distribution of the essence of the Ancient Fragments that Lilith suddenly said, "I still need two more fragments." ”
The Queen of the Night spoke suddenly, and the entire council hall fell silent for a moment. The Speaker then stood up, greeted the Queen of the Night, and replied, "Do as you command." ”
With that, with a wave of his hand, he directly crossed out the two Ancient Essence Fragments from the discussion list, as if they didn't exist, and then continued to distribute the remaining fragments among the clans.
Each Ancient Essence Fragment meant the birth of a duke-level powerhouse, a force that would be enough to create a medium-sized clan, and even the giants would not be able to ignore such a huge benefit. Discussions are getting more and more intense, and deals on and off the counter are becoming more frequent.
Lilith turned a blind eye to this, her will had already crossed the distant space, appearing in the depths of the dark realm of the Eternal Night Continent, an ancient blood castle.
Habs sat in a wide chair, facing the eternal night outside the floor-to-ceiling window. His expression moved slightly, he stood up gracefully, and bowed to a corner of the room, "Welcome, Supreme Majesty." ”
A black-haired woman condensed from the void, and she raised her hand, which was a return gift on behalf of equality. Although Lilith's appearance here is only a projection, it is as if some kind of ritual has been completed, and the second generation of ancestors has recognized and accepted their successors.
The meeting was very brief, and with the strength of the two of them, of course, there was no existence that could detect even the slightest bit of relevant information.
When Countess Wargree knocked on the door of the study, Habs still sat and looked at the eternal night, as if the distinguished visitor had never appeared. He did not look back, and the Countess, with a smile, walked briskly behind the young prince, her skirt rubbing against a silk sound, and a pair of snow-white arms around Habs's shoulders.
Countess Waugery had long golden-brown hair and eyes as beautiful as the purest emeralds, and she was a well-known beauty in the whole bloodline.
"My dear Highness, have you finally decided to return to the Twilight Continent tomorrow?
Habs did not reject her intimacy, but asked, "What's new?"
"The Eternal Night Council is meeting in plenary session, and I happen to know them about one of them. Speaking of this, Countess Wargree said with a little regret: "Your Highness, if you had returned to the Upper Continent two days earlier, you might have been able to catch up with the meeting, and this time your seat would have been able to rise into the inner circle!" The countess's eyes sparkled, as if she had seen delicious blood and beautiful jewels.
The inner circle of the Eternal Night Council is where almost every dark race looks up, where the Speaker and the giants are seated. Each of them has the power of the prince and above, that is, the real heart of the council's decision-making, and their every word, every gesture, every decision will cause an uproar in the world of eternal night.
And after the coronation, Prince Habs has naturally obtained a seat that belongs to him. This not only elevates the status of the Sbock Clan, but also has an important impact on the entire Blood Clan's voice in the dark world.
Habs's reaction was very flat, and he only said: "Topic? What new topics can there be besides the Heavenly Ghost War?" ”
"The prophecy of the Sleep of the Behemoth has failed with Master Webb of the Council and the Marshal of the Empire. It is said that Lin Xitang also suffered a recurrence of his old injury and had to return to the empire. Countess Wargery covered her mouth and smiled, "Everyone is speculating whether this is true, or if the Terrans are engaged in some kind of conspiracy, and whether the decision of the council is war or a truce?"
At this moment there was another knock on the door of the study, and a handsome Earl of the Garter entered, who had been a close attendant of Habs for more than a hundred years, and although his rank was not high, he was very handy in handling all kinds of affairs, so he had been highly used.
After he entered the door, he said to Habs: "The news is true, Marshal Lin Xitang did return to the empire, he did not go to the Beifu Army, but to the imperial capital. ”
Habs chuckled unexpectedly, "The Demons have always prided themselves on their prophecy and would never be willing to be beaten by a human, so those old fellows of the Council will finally decide to go all out to deduce the secret of the Sleep of the Behemoth, right?"
Countess Wargree blinked her emerald eyes in confusion, Habs's attitude was too undisguised to ignore the schadenfreude. She asked curiously, "My dear Highness, do you think this is an imperial conspiracy to drain the power of prophecy in order for the council to be worthless?"
Her white, delicate arms had been rubbing against Habs's chest and shoulders, when the young prince suddenly smiled meaningfully, and reached out to hold Countess Wargley's hand. With such a simple action, the Countess suddenly became completely immobile, and her beautiful eyes showed doubts and fear, but at this moment, she was deprived of even the ability to speak.
Habs said lightly: "How did the matter of my promotion to prince leak out?"
Countess Wallary's eyes suddenly burst into extreme horror, and she wanted to turn her gaze to the Earl of the Garter Lynnard behind her, but her head could not move at all. Habs had actually been promoted to prince before the Iron Curtain, but he kept it under wrap until only two of his closest people knew, his mistress, Countess Wall, and his close attendant, Count Linald.
Habs didn't give her a chance to argue or explain, "Don't look at Linald, he's my descendant." ”
The Countess was finally in complete despair, and everyone knew that Habs only had pure-blood descendants, and had no first-blood descendants. That's because it takes at least eighty to a hundred years for a drop of duke-level source blood to coagulate, and Habs is very young and in the stage of increasing his strength, everyone can understand why he didn't waste his source blood to create descendants.
Who knew that his power had become so terrifying that he had a descendant who was about to touch the threshold of the marquis, and he could become a crowned prince before middle age.
The Countess's soft body was prostrate on Habs's lap, as she had done countless times before, but at this moment, a cloud of blood light was suspended in the air, and at the same time, countless lines of blood were drawn from her back, and they continued to merge into the blood light. And her emerald eyes were already full of fear and madness.
The power of blood to be drained alive is the slowest and most brutal death punishment for the Bloods.
Linald then asked, "She plays for the council?"
Habs said unconcernedly: "It should be, she has been manipulated and can't read more from memory, but it doesn't matter, our old opponents of the Holy Blood Clan are nothing more than those few." ”
"But you have to be crowned early......"
"The timing couldn't have been better, as Her Majesty Lilith had woken up from her slumber and I was qualified to speak to her. Habs smiled and said, "Actually, I should also thank the parliament." If it weren't for the huge cost they took, I wouldn't have gotten this opportunity. ”
Linald opened the folder in his hand, "Your order to re-investigate Paradise Lost's 3 laboratory has been arranged. ”
Habs said, "You keep an eye on this matter yourself. He paused, "When I mentioned this to Marshal Lin Xitang, his reaction was wrong. Perhaps we were all fooled in the first place, and someone used the hand of the Empire to destroy it. In other words, the things we hide in the council's laboratories have been detected. ”
Linald's expression immediately became solemn and he nodded solemnly.
Habs stood up, and Countess Renhuagli's completely lifeless body slid to the ground, and the blood qi in the air had condensed into a fist-sized ruby-like blood crystal, which was all the essence of an earl-level blood clan. With a wave of his hand, the blood crystal flew into Linald's hand.
"If Marshal Lin knew that when he was cleaning the battlefield, he didn't actually find all the bodies of his son, what would his expression be?" Habs had personally gone to see it at the end of the First World War in the town, and he remembered very well that the nameplate belonging to Lin Qianye was hanging on the hand of a young man who only had half of his palm left.
On the tragic battlefield, many soldiers did not recover their complete bones, and the Imperial soldiers had identity plates, and it was difficult for the Force to completely destroy them. When the war ended, regardless of victory or defeat, it was customary for the Empire to demand that the other side return these nameplates for the burial of its fallen soldiers.
Although the dark race has mixed feelings about this race that was raised by itself thousands of years ago, as the empire has grown, it has learned to respect some of the traditions of the human race.
