In the Ziggurat, there have been many big discussions about the new queen of Avalon.
In the end, students generally believed that she was a cruel, ruthless, decisive, and extremely aggressive monarch...completely opposite to the previous generation of queens.
Many people call her a madman. Because according to normal international social behavior, even if she is really assassinated, it is impossible to immediately launch a military retaliation that will last for several months... Especially on the surface, Xing Antimony's military strength
Even the top level experts are far stronger than Avalon.
The iron-blooded queen's decisiveness frightened the Star Antimony people.
Although the Griffin Legion did not attack civilians, but always attacked high-value targets - unfortunately, as the territory of the Black Phase, the only training base for necromancers, the "Zerg Tower" of the Necromancer Academy is included in this
Within "high value targets".
The barrier of the ziggurat could barely protect them, but the crackling lightning that washed the ground made them dare not leave the ziggurat for a long time, and many facilities placed outdoors were destroyed as a result. Not to mention that
Those undead and revenant souls roaming outside...
The ziggurat, which was originally lifeless, filled with white mist, filled with screams and screams of innocent souls, and whose fingers could not be seen, has now turned into blue sky, white clouds and green grass.
And when they were sleeping in the dormitory, they could hear the whistling of griffins flying over the sky outside. Then there was thunder, and then there was a power outage - now electric lights and telephones have long been used in the Academy of the Dead.
That is to say, the gryphons did not attack civilians, and the Star Antimony people can now have normal production and life.
——However, Avalon proved one thing.
That is... "what if they attack civilians"?
They proved that they did have this ability, and that the queen could really do such a thing. Five years ago, the students in the Ziggurat basically commented on Avalon as "a weak and backward country of knights.
"It's time to throw it into the trash can of the old era", "a fragile iron bucket", "a toy that is stuck in its ways, self-corrupted, and broken at the touch of a touch"... But now the students' evaluation is, "I don't want to be with Ah
The Walloons go to war", "I would rather deal with the Iris people".
It can arouse the fear of the Star Antimony people without triggering the Star Antimony people's consciousness of resistance - this is even more difficult than conquering them. If the Avalon people really launch revenge regardless of the consequences, the Star Antimony people will also definitely attack the Avalon people.
The Walloons were filled with hatred...but the Avalonians showed off their skills and hinted at their power...but they gave them half a face and did not really hurt them.
As a result, Xing Antimony chose to retreat.
If Avalon is used as the imaginary enemy, even recruiting troops will encounter resistance - because no one wants to have their hometown be attacked by the Griffin Legion as soon as they go to the front line.
——The deterrence that is triggered but not released is far more threatening than the forbidden technique that is launched.
And all of this was figured out by the nineteen-year-old half-elf queen herself.
Although there are also rumors that this is related to the minister Aiwass... However, that man is a good man who has been unanimously recognized by the elf cardinals of the Eternal Theocracy. This is enough to prove that all the accusations against his character and morality are
Rumors...because nothing can prove a person's true heart better than the power of the road.
So if Aiwass is removed from it, people will discover a terrible fact:
All the major events in Avalon in recent years have involved the direct or indirect participation of this little queen! The final result of these major events is that the power is successfully and completely transferred to the hands of the new king, and the kingdom's chronic diseases and
The risks are almost all resolved...
And Paul finally remembered why he was impressed by the name Aleister... This was the young lady who had ambiguous rumors about "Pope Aiwass"!
The ruthless man who competes with the Iron-Blooded Queen for men... What is she doing in Star Antimony?
After Paul hesitated for a long time, he finally plucked up the courage and told the professor that he had leaked the plan between the professor and his master.
He can hide it-but if the professor or master eventually learns about it from other places, then he will suffer the consequences.
But now, she can instead leave the responsibility to her master...surrendering when encountering enemies is exactly what she told Paul.
Strangely, Professor Laxmi had no reaction to this. He neither blamed Paul nor asked him what he had said.
Professor Laxmi just nodded, indicating that he understood, and ended the topic.
But judging from the way his eyes flickered and he kept drinking tea, he seemed to be thinking about something.
When the students in the ziggurat finished their "work", the sky was completely dark.
After Paul had dinner with the professor, he found an excuse to leave Professor Laxmi and ran back to Dimit.
They had nothing to do, so they ran to the deck of the cruise ship.
At half past nine in the evening, the golden moonlight shines on the black sea.
There are no lights on the bow of the ship, and it is pitch black. For ordinary people, it is a scary dark place, but for the two of them, it is a very suitable and peaceful resting place.
There was no sound except for the crashing of the waves.
Dimitar raised his head and stared at the moon. This guy who usually talked a lot was now curled up in the corner like a shadow, saying nothing - Paul didn't even need to think carefully, he knew that he must be thinking of Alais.
Miss Special. In other words, the legendary figure "Lady Bayard" from the imperial period.
As usual in keeping those matters secret, Paul did not tell his foul-mouthed friend Miss Aleister's true identity.
But at this moment, Paul suddenly heard some strange sounds.
——Before becoming a Necromancer, his extraordinary profession in the Path of Love was called "Trickster".
This profession was developed in the ancient Parthian kingdom.
In the ancient Parthian country, gambling was popular between slaves and masters. Initially, this was because when Parthians punished their slaves, because they did not want to bear the serious crime of murder, they would use means such as "drawing lots" to leave the responsibility to fate, and "draw lots".
The result of the drawing of lots is regarded as the will of God.
Later, this simple drawing of lots expanded to include many forms of unfair gambling including playing cards, dice, chess, etc. As a result, one party suffered almost no loss, while the other party paid the price of his life.
Among them, the highest level of gambling is the gambling battle between slaves and good masters - it has even become a kind of sideshow. Whether the slave wins and is pardoned as a free citizen, or the good master wins and the slave is executed on the spot,
It will cause people to cheer and celebrate.
And in this environment, this profession was born...the fraudster.
In the language of the Parthians, another translation of it is called "professional gambler". Whether it is using abilities on slaves or slave owners... this kind of behavior belongs to the chaotic and crazy path of love.
.
Paul's ears can easily distinguish the number of faces of the dice in the dice cup. Therefore, for him, it is easy to roll three sixes, and he will definitely get the desired result if he rolls it a hundred times.
But now, he heard a "strange noise" coming from the bottom of the sea.
It was a completely different sound from the waves. It sounded like something was approaching.
And, it becomes increasingly clear——
Paul suddenly opened his eyes and realized what it was.
"Demit!"
At the first moment, he subconsciously shouted loudly.
Dimitri suddenly jumped up and pulled Paul at the same time.
Paul was so scared that he couldn't move his legs, so Dimitri pulled him but didn't pull. As a result, the two of them fell together away from the sea and deeper into the deck. Although they were very embarrassed, the two of them fell down.
Rolling and crawling, he just managed to avoid a sudden attack!
——That is a huge, powerful tentacle.
Paul recognized it at a glance. The tentacle was even thicker than his waist - its length above the water alone was over ten meters!
It suddenly slapped against the side of the ship, easily shattering the railing completely.
Immediately afterwards, there was another tentacle——
This time Paul reacted.
He waved his hand to block himself and Dimit, and an earthy yellow light curtain appeared in front of him.
That's preservation!
The defense of the second-level preservation technique is enough to easily withstand the rain of rifle bullets!
——But the light curtain had no effect under the seemingly slow tapping of the tentacles!
It's not crushing or dispersing.
That is the absolute suppression of the inferiors by the superiors who are on the same path!
Demit suddenly dodged and pushed him to the ground, allowing him to barely escape the tentacle attack.
The howling wind passed by, and Dimit let out a scream - his back was brushed by the tentacles. Blood immediately soaked out and wet his clothes.
"Dimmit, Dimit!"
Paul panicked and tried to drag Dimitre's body, but found that he couldn't do it at all.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a desperate scene——
At least a dozen tentacles were raised high and slapped on the deck of the ship, smashing them into pieces. The frightened screams and roars of the people below came up through the broken deck.
The entire wooden structure of the ship creaked and screamed.
A huge sea monster hugged the ship from the bottom!
