The giant city of Lentax, inside the Marquis Castle.
Prince Carter was depressed and sat at the table blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
[Glorious Warrior Kaji Mizzit]'s expression always remained tense, and he looked completely bitter and resentful.
Only the Sorensen brothers, played by Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi, were not affected by the episode just now.
The silent atmosphere made Xiao Heizi, who could never sit still, feel uncomfortable.
It wanted to speak several times, but suppressed the urge to talk too much.
This makes it restless, scratching its neck or blinking its eyes from time to time.
Fortunately, neither Kaji Mizzit nor the prince himself are very familiar with Bridger Sorenson, who he plays.
I had only vaguely heard of some of the deeds of the two brothers, and knew that their characters were that of bohemian street gangsters. They were from grassroots backgrounds and did not receive strict restraint and training like the glorious warriors.
It's normal to have this kind of unpretentious behavior.
However, compared to Xiao Heizi's restlessness, Zong Shen acted very calmly from beginning to end.
Taking advantage of this time when he didn't have to focus on acting, he used new clues as a guide to inquire about a lot of key information.
The anomalies he discovered before were also answered in the strategy notes.
Before taking action, Zong Shen was aware of several problems.
The first is Prince Carter's reaction. His obsession with Penny can barely be explained by love and love brain. But later, after [Halfling Scout Da Majia] was captured by someone from Zong, the prince's behavior became thought-provoking.
.
He would rather let the Grand Duke urgently dispatch new legendary masters from the distant giant city for protection than leave the giant city of Lentax.
Including just now, Prince Carter has noticed Marquis Henry's hostility and abnormality, but he is still stubborn.
Even at the request of Archduke Jonathan.
This in itself is an extremely abnormal behavior.
And it's not just Prince Carter who's weird.
Even Marquis Henry's recent performance reveals that something is wrong.
Many of his decisions were impulsive and seemed to be made on the spur of the moment.
For example, he became hostile to Prince Carter inexplicably.
Taking a step back, Carter, as the second prince with royal blood, even if he occasionally behaved rudely or coquettishly toward him, it was not a reason for Marquis Henry to be hostile to him.
As for the prince falling in love with his youngest daughter, it is even more of an honor.
This can make the Lancaster family and Archduke Jonathan's power groups highly bound and become a community of interests.
Even though the geographical location of the giant city of Lentax was awkward and the power of the Grand Duke could not quench his thirst, the Lancaster family would still be able to gain a lot of benefits when Penny became the Crown Princess.
This is far better than suddenly falling to the side of Archduke Chloé who supports Princess Anna!
Zong Shen believed that Marquis Henry would not fail to understand such a simple truth.
In fact, no one who can become the ruler of a giant city is a fool.
The family's own competition is the best filter.
Under such circumstances, Zong Shen used the [Rose Mark] as a clue and found out information that surprised him.
That is, both Marquis Henry and Prince Carter were planted with the [Rose Mark].
And the person at the center of this whirlpool is the one who arranged all this——
——Penny Lancaster!
It is mentioned in the notes in the strategy module that she received the inheritance from Baihua Fairy outside the city.
With the power of white rose.
But this is actually just a disguise.
The so-called Flower Fairy is actually a cursed Blood Fairy.
The pure white rose is also false. In fact, the power Penny controls is the blood rose.
It's just that she has a special physical talent, a strong natural affinity, and an almost pure character, which makes her the best carrier of this inheritance.
And through the concealment of her physique, Blood Rose will also possess the characteristics of White Rose.
But the evil nature of the curse will not change.
On the contrary, it will continue to affect Penny's self-consciousness.
Moreover, the flower valley where the inheritance is hidden seems ordinary, but in fact it has given birth to the seeds of greedy earth spirits, which is the foundation of Penny's inheritance.
Although Prince Carter was the son of an affair between Grand Duke Jonathan and the Queen.
But he still has the pure blood of the Pendragon royal family.
Because Grand Duke Jonathan himself is a direct member of the royal family.
Pendragon's ancestor, the great King Arthur, is said to have the blood of the dragon god Io.
Therefore, he can be invincible and conquer the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Kingdom of Avalon.
The banner that makes the dragon roar flies over the land of the kingdom.
Coupled with the strengthening, integration and accumulation of the royal family from generation to generation, the bloodline has gradually changed.
The lower physical limit of each generation of royal heirs continues to increase.
Bloodline talent determines the lower limit, while opportunity and hard work determine the upper limit.
Therefore, Pendragon's royal bloodline is a great tonic for the earth spirits.
It is also the best choice for irrigating and breeding goblins.
In this way, it is not difficult to explain why Penny tried every means to let her father keep Prince Carter in the city. This was because she planned to tie the prince up and bleed him for fertilizer.
[Rose Mark] has a powerful effect of confusing the mind.
Although there is no clear hierarchy.
But Zong Shen estimated that it would be at least a seventh-level or eighth-level confusion effect.
Moreover, the three key characters Penny, Henry and Carter are almost all in a state of confusion.
Yes, even Penny herself is no exception.
Her mind was also affected by the inheritance of Blood Rose.
Finally, it’s about the competition.
The reason why both Penny and Marquis Henry are obsessed with competitive games is actually very simple.
Just because the day of the competition happened to be Penny's coming-of-age day.
As for the inheritance of Blood Rose, the moment she reaches adulthood, the power of inheritance will be much stronger.
It can be regarded as a turning point in this inherited strength!
At this point, Zong Shen finally knew the causes and consequences that led to this messy situation.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The culprit is not Marquis Henry, nor Penny and Prince Carter.
But there is something weird everywhere, the blood rose inheritance emerging from the nook and cranny of the corner...
It is actually very simple to completely solve the problem.
As long as Zong Shen lets the strategy module guide him to the specific location of the inheritance flower valley.
Then he violently kills the evil spirits and the heritage ruins themselves, allowing Penny to gradually regain her sanity.
At the same time, the [Rose Mark] in the hearts of Marquis Henry and Prince Carter will also disintegrate.
Although the method to solve the problem is very simple, Zong Shen is not ready to take action.
Because it is not in his interest to deal with Blood Rose in advance.
He now wishes that the giant city of Lentax could become even more chaotic.
And another crucial point is that the mastermind behind this wave is also a variable.
He was a little curious about what kind of power Penny would gain when she came of age.
He asked more about the [Rose Mark] and learned more details.
Not everyone can successfully plant this mark.
The prerequisite for implanting the mark is that the target has feelings for Penny.
Whether it is family affection or love, as long as there is enough emotion as a bond, the imprint can be easily implanted in the other person's heart.
Thereby subtly changing the other person's mind according to Penny's ideas.
In other words, Penny cannot attack strangers, or people for whom she has no feelings.
In addition, there are several ways to dispel the [Rose Mark].
In addition to high-level purification magic, rituals composed of various flowers can also be used to dispel it.
The latter can be done without any magic support, but the process is more complicated.
In this way, Zong Shen can basically eliminate the possibility of himself and Xiao Heizi being tricked.
After knowing it in his mind, Zong Shen dismissed the reminder messages that appeared in his consciousness with a thought.
He looked at Prince Carter with some pity.
This guy unknowingly became a prepared blood slave.
It has become a pitiful bargaining chip in this chaotic game.
After being depressed for a while, the prince regained some of his energy.
He turned to look at Kaji Mizite and ordered.
"Ask the housekeeper to arrange a room for the Sorenson brothers next to the dormitory."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Heizi and Zong Shen, nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Kaji Mizite took the order and left, and soon a waiter arranged a room for them.
"You two, please don't move around casually and wait for the prince's instructions."
After sending them into the room, Kaji Mizite specially warned them.
In response, Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi just nodded in agreement with normal expressions.
There is only a wall between their room and the prince's.
If there is any situation, we can help at any time.
After letting the two go back to their rooms to rest, Kaji Mizite also returned to his room.
The prince stayed alone in the bedroom and sighed melancholy.
…
"Is father still worried about His Royal Highness?"
Penny sat at the table, with a gentle smile on her face, and asked softly.
I saw that Marquis Henry's eyes were a little dazed, and the key to what he had figured out before became blurry again.
He shook his head suddenly, looked at his precious daughter Penny and nodded gently.
"Yes!"
"The Dabos Gladiator Twins suddenly arrived and disrupted our plan!"
"Now we can only find a way to delay it until the competitive meeting."
"Just now Archduke Jonathan initiated a remote summons to me. He has already seen through our intentions."
"This shows that Prince Carter also noticed something."
"But the strange thing is that from the words of Grand Duke Jonathan, it seems that Prince Carter does not want to leave the giant city of Lentax!"
Marquis Henry habitually reviewed it, completely forgetting the key points that he had figured out through rational analysis before.
Returned to a state of unconditional trust in Penny.
Upon hearing his words, Penny's beautiful eyes flickered and she slowly raised the corners of her mouth.
"Thank you for your hard work, Father."
"As long as Prince Carter doesn't choose to leave the city."
"Now without further delay, you can select suitable members from the family as soon as possible, take the first batch of supplies and garrison to the giant city of The Hague, and ask Princess Anna to fulfill her promise."
"Children of the storm will eventually return to the embrace of the storm."
As Penny spoke, her tone became deeper, full of maturity that was inconsistent with her own temperament.
But this point was selectively ignored by Marquis Henry.
There was a trace of confusion in his eyes.
But soon the [Rose Mark] flickered in his heart.
This confusion was quickly dispelled.
At the same time, Penny and the confidant waiter who stayed with Marquis Henry also had rose marks on their chests.
…
The central region of the Kingdom of Avalon.
Sanji City.
It turned out to be a huge city under the command of Archduke Jonathan.
Now it has been completely controlled by the Sanji Church and has been renamed Sanji City.
The huge castle in the original city was transformed into a palace to accept worship from believers.
Under night, torches were lit everywhere in Sanji City.
Large areas of black orchids are also planted in the city, and the psychedelic floral fragrance wafts throughout the city.
This caused the original city residents to be in a state of excitement with flushed faces.
Through the guidance of those missionaries, this state turned into a fanatical worship of the Three Extremes Church.
Countless believers lit lamps and prayed, and the atmosphere in the city became gloomy and strange.
A black orchid suddenly appeared from the space.
Then it turned into a black lightning and flew towards the palace in the center of the city at extremely fast speed.
The moment the black orchid appeared, a priest in the hall, wearing a robe covered with orchids and kneeling piously, suddenly raised his head.
Then he reached out fiercely and cut off the orchid from the void.
"It's the Orchid Order from Fei'er."
"let me see!"
The officiant rubbed his fingers, and the black orchid flower immediately dissipated into a pitch-black light spot.
And he quickly deciphered its contents.
"Duke Jonathan promised to give up Purple River Castle..."
"Request the church to send the pseudo-demon Lilia, the four legendary middle-level elders and the high-level black-robed bishop to carry the remote teleportation scroll to the giant city of Lentax and take away Prince Carter by force."
"And bring it safely back to the Imperial City of San Sebasti!"
The black-robed officiant muttered to himself.
While he repeated the Orchid Order.
These demands also rang in the form of orders in the ears of those church leaders involved in this agreement.
In the claustrophobic secret room of the palace, a girl with black hair hanging down her waist suddenly opened her eyes.
Her skin was dazzlingly white, but covered with black runes.
The black and white colors bring extremely sharp visual contrast.
The girl stood up magnanimously, her naked body glowing with a dim light.
There were spots of light in her eyes that looked like stars.
Just waving silently, underwear, robes and light armor immediately covered her body.
After finishing dressing, she held a spiked flail and a double-edged epee in her left and right hands respectively, and then suddenly disappeared.
At the same time, four church elders and a black-robed bishop also received orders from the officiant.
Trading a Zihe Castle in exchange for the trip to the giant city of Lentax for the masters of the Three Extremes Church is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal.
Moreover, this operation was authorized by the Duke. All he had to do was enter the giant city and take away the prince.
With the pseudo-demon Lilia and the strong men of the church taking action, it is not difficult to accomplish this!
