"I actually suspect that this so-called 'Alai' is the 'Aleister' of Avalon. He is the guy who made His Majesty so angry some time ago."
General Carr at the window suddenly said: "That's the woman who pulled out the nails we planted in Avalon - that's what my intuition told me."
"You mean that fat guy Drost?"
The Earl of Leipzig chuckled, and the gentle smile on his face did not waver at all: "That guy doesn't matter. Your Majesty treats him so kindly just to lead the way for the Avalonians who have turned from darkness to light. His preferential treatment will not last long."
"Do you have any inside information?"
General Karl turned around.
"It's not an inside story. In other words, this is something that many people know."
The elegant red-eyed man smiled and flattered General Karl: "You just disdain to deal with those 'drinking table aristocrats', so you didn't hear these gossips. But I guess it's time to spread the news in a few days."
We have arrived at Carl Manor. Your grandson is quite active."
"Hmph, that guy..."
Old Karl snorted, his face full of disdain, but his words were a bit showy: "Because he has reached the fourth level at a young age, he starts to make friends with big shots like an adult. He doesn't even think about it, it's his turn.
Is that right? Those people have no value in dealing with them at all. They are just a bunch of blood-sucking leeches lying on the kingdom. They are the source of trouble and cause troubles. They are just trash who scream loud enough.
"If you ask me, I still have to send him to the army. The battlefield is the most bloody, cruel and desperate place. Only from there can he draw enough strength. Only strength is real in this world -
—”
As he said that, his eyes that were like burning gold stared at Albert. Albert suddenly trembled.
The old man lectured: "Same to you, Lieutenant Luo Lei.
"Don't make things behind closed doors - you were able to make armed gargoyles because you were lucky. Your invention happened to meet the demand. But are other flesh and blood creations useful? You have to go to the battlefield to see for yourself. You have to yourself
Only when you encounter a problem can you have questions and then answer them - listen carefully, this is all life experience."
When he heard that he was going to be sent to the battlefield, Albert suddenly looked bitter.
——I don’t want to go!
If I didn't have to graduate to receive sponsorship in my own name, I would rather squat in the ziggurat and continue studying...
I also want to study for a PhD in biology...
"There's no rush," the Count of Leipzig on the side advised, "Albert is a genius. Geniuses always have preferential treatment - rather than letting him be sent to a dangerous battlefield before his potential is exhausted, it would be better to be promoted to a higher level in the rear.
If you can’t get better, then look for inspiration.”
He didn't care that the old man was muttering aside, "How can there be any danger in the battlefield of Star Antimony" and "If you can't survive at the fourth level, you won't be able to survive at the fifth level", so he said it directly.
He used the gossip he just shared to distract the two of them: "Droost can't be around for long.
"When we eat Avalon completely, it will be his time to die.
"It's just that the small island of Avalon has no value to us. What we need is population, talent, and resources - the descendants of knights favored by the Silver Crown Dragon, as well as the technology and qualifications to tame griffins. Star
There are not that many people in Antimony who can be stationed in Avalon. In the end, the Avalonians will have to rule Avalon.
"And at that time, Drost was the sacrifice introduced to appease the anger of the Avalonians - one faction of Star Antimony likes to use dirty tricks, while the other faction is quite decent. The decent side attracts the decent Avalonians
Longren, and then liquidate the evil faction together with the traitors who betrayed them... This is a script that those knights will like very much."
"...You mean, the alchemist?"
The old general responded.
The current core crisis of Star Antimony is the power struggle between demonologists and alchemists.
And there is no doubt that His Majesty is on the side of the demonologists.
However, the alchemists are currently very powerful, so it is difficult for the royal family to directly take sides. They can only remain silent for now and allow the alchemists who are becoming more and more arrogant and proud to cause public dissatisfaction.
Their original purpose was to imitate Iris and complete the transformation of the constitutional monarchy.
Because there is no doubt that the war is basically over now... The status of the demonologists who symbolized the war has naturally begun to decline. The ancient country of Parthia will definitely not be able to defeat it, and the Star Antimony people have no interest in the desert; the trolls in the south are not enough.
Fear, the dwarves in the mountains to the north are also a mob.
Only Avalon and Iris are left.
Alchemists and necromancers have also begun to gradually replace the role of demonologists on the battlefield. In other words, alchemy, which has now been developed to its extreme, has occupied the absolute advantage of star antimony in various fields such as military and civilian use.
.
Xing Antimony can no longer live without them.
In this case, the alchemists only need to prove that they "do not need to rely on demonologists on the battlefield" to gain the decisive say.
And in the past three hundred years... including the expedition that annexed the Black Eagle Principality and Narcissus Principality, it was all possible with the help of demonologists. This allowed Xing Antimony to have a large number of military nobles in the country.
Take General Carr for example.
In this case, demonologists will definitely be completely hostile to alchemists. However, within the increasingly extreme group of alchemists, there are moderate factions who sympathize with demonologists and are loyal to the royal family.
And they are undoubtedly the side that can be fought for.
"So His Majesty plans to let those alchemists act - let them start a war on their own and unify Avalon. Then let them make a coup, and then stop them. Use a counter-insurgency war to kill those people and fight with them.
Complete the cutting. Send these sinners to Avalon, giving Avalon a little relief.
"If the plan goes well, not only can Avalon be obtained safely, but also the extremists in the country can be eliminated in one fell swoop. This is His Majesty's plan."
The Count of Leipzig explained softly.
The old general frowned: "Why bother? And what if you lose it?
"Those alchemists are developing too fast... maybe if they develop for a while, we really won't be able to defeat them?"
The vampire count shook his head: "Because no one knows the Silver Crown Dragon's attitude towards Avalon, so we can only use this indirect method to annex Avalon."
Having said this, he smiled proudly: "That's why... I said Miss Alai will definitely come. Because I said the Rose Cross... her shadow demon will definitely tell her what the Rose Cross is. She
She will definitely come. This is a high-level inheritance with demonologists from all over the world, just like the inheritance of priests in the Theocracy. And as long as she comes and can sit down and chat with me, I will have a way to convince her to surrender to us."
"Are you so confident?"
The old general sneered: "I think she must be a member of the Avalon royal family. I heard that she has a lover over there who is a descendant of the founding family. I also heard that Her Majesty the Queen plans to give him
She already holds the position of minister... Such a big shot is more than worthy of her."
"Not worthy of it."
The vampire count calmly shook his head: "For a transcendent, the desire to go up is a desire that can never be eradicated. And the instinct of betrayal cannot be eradicated. She is a genius, and genius means that it is easier to reach the limit.
Rosicrucian has a special secret method...if the conditions are met, it can raise the demon incarnation from the fifth level to the sixth level."
"...sixth level?"
Albert opened his eyes wide: "That's not...it only exists in legends..."
"Eternal Pope, right?"
The vampire count smiled gracefully and said calmly: "But do you know?
"——The sixth energy level is actually not the limit of this world."
Hearing this secret, Albert and General Karl held their breath at the same time.
But Karl suddenly became wary.
He remembered how depraved and evil the Moon Child he had seen in his dream was... Although he had been friends with Leipzig, the Moon Child, for many years, now he also felt something bad.
The Earl of Leipzig stretched out his hand and put it in front of his lips, whispering seductive words: "This is a secret. [Please don't reveal it]."
It was some kind of ability similar to the spirit of speech. It was also one of the reasons why he named himself "Ban".
"——"The Couple Tantra". This is an ancient stone slab that Rosicrucian found through recent excavations... It records a ritual that allows the powerful at the fifth energy level to be forcibly promoted directly without going through the promotion ceremony.
To the sixth level, just like the Eternal Pope.
"And if you want to activate the power of this stone slab, you need to complete a special ritual to steal the power of the Fallen Sky Division. This ritual can only be completed once... so we need to do our best to absorb those demon incarnations of the fifth energy level.
, use this ritual to promote everyone together.
"With only one pope, the Theocracy can become a permanently neutral country. But if Star Antimony has five, six... or even a dozen popes, can't we easily rule the world? This is why Your Majesty stands without hesitation.
Reasons on our side.”
The vampire count said calmly: "The prerequisites for the ritual have been completed and can be opened at any time. It is not opened now just because the president wants to maximize the benefits and minimize the problems. So it is useless for those alchemists to jump around
, they are destined to fail. And we are bound to win - the only thing that may cause the ritual to fail is probably the hostility of the Pillar God.
"So we must let the Silver Crowned Dragon recognize our actions, and we must let Avalon become a part of us before the ceremony begins. Otherwise, if we give birth to more than a dozen sixth-level people in one go, it is very likely that
The royal family of Avalon uses their trump card to call the apostles from the lower realm on a large scale, or cause other unknown difficulties. This is also a factor that must be considered.
"But if Avalon had become a part of us by then, all of this would naturally not have happened. All the current plans of the kingdom are just preparations to 'maximize the success rate of the ritual'.
"And if this ritual succeeds... we may even have a chance to contact the [Seventh Energy Level] that shouldn't exist.
"——If the sixth level is the eternal pope, then what do you think the seventh level is?
"There is no doubt that we will become gods. This is the essence of [Star Antimony] - "Antimony's Triumphal Cart" explains the refinement and sublimation of animal nature, and warns us that as long as the method is appropriate, mortals can become gods."
The vampire count's words were extremely provocative: "Don't you understand? That will represent eternity and glory."
Listening to this vast and great plan, Albert couldn't help but tremble.
The old general beside him frowned more and more. He always felt that something was wrong, but maybe it was because he had read too little and he couldn't tell whether he was alive or dead.
However, they all realized very clearly that the Star Antimony people were stepping on the door to a new era.
Crossing this step will usher in an unprecedented new era.
"...What is the name of this ceremony? In other words, does this plan have a name?"
Albert asked tremblingly.
"certainly."
His Highness the Prince smiled, with as much hope as the entire universe in his eyes: "The president named this ceremony...
