The news that Red Prime Minister Peng Bonaqi died in battle had already reached Lion Heart City before yesterday.
Pomponazzi's "children" are too closely connected with him on the path of love... so they all have more or less mysterious connections based on the path of love.
——When Pomponazzi died completely, all his "children" were affected at the same time.
If you are alone, it may be an illusion.
But if everyone reacts at the same moment, then it is unlikely to go wrong...
However, even if the evidence was conclusive, it still took them a whole day to gradually accept this unbelievable fact.
...father is dead?
Will Pomponazzi actually die?
——That is the strongest Moon Child in the world! A great man who is only half a step away from the legendary realm of "perfect man"!
Could this be another prank of his, or some kind of conspiracy? Or maybe he actually died once, but resurrected again, lurking among us, looking for the child who didn't respect him enough...
When Peng Bonazi was alive, they wished he was dead - because Peng Bonacci had too much control and had a rough personality. They were all real big shots in front of outsiders, but in front of Peng Bonazi they looked like
He is like a child. If nothing happens, he will kick and push him a few times. If something goes wrong, he may even eat him directly.
But now that Peng Bonaqi was really dead, they felt panic again.
Without Peng Bonazi, how can they fight against the ziggurat where the dark side has awakened?
To take a step back... Now that the trend of the unification of the Sons of the Moon is coming, being able to use the Sons of the Moon as the main body is entirely for the sake of Peng Bonaqi. But now that Peng Bonaqi is dead, wouldn't they want to go there?
Being slaves to the Moon Children in foreign countries? The Moon Children there are completely different from moderates like them!
The era of red phase is over, what does this mean?
——Meaning that the era of Valentine VIII is also coming to an end.
In panic, they wanted to find the Count of Leipzig and ask him to give an explanation or at least get an idea, only to find that he had also disappeared.
Through the ritual positioning, they were able to confirm that Count Leipzig was not dead - he had been staying in the ziggurat and was in good health.
Then the Children of the Moon suddenly felt that they had learned the truth.
——Good guy, you must have betrayed your father!
After all, in the knowledge of the Sons of the Moon, the only person who can quickly kill Peng Bonaqi, an ancestor with strong vitality, is probably the "principal" of the Ziggurat. And he has just woken up. The undead spirit
Shu has the ability to restrain the Son of the Moon. If they were at the same level, with conspiracy and sneak attacks, they might be able to kill Peng Bonazi...
As for the motive - it should be that Pomponazzi killed Valentine VII.
In fact, many of them strongly disagreed with Pomponazzi's behavior.
No matter what, at least they can't take action against the king... The elves in the Theocracy will not care about matters caused by internal power changes. Therefore, they can only use their own power to prevent the monarch from being assassinated.
Today Pomponacci killed Valentine VII, does that mean that tomorrow the demonologists can kill Valentine VIII? Then the day after tomorrow, the alchemists will poison Valentine IX, and finally the necromancers
Kill the rest and pack them away, so there will be no Valentine left.
Once the bottom line is breached, the constraints of morality and rules will no longer exist.
When people realize that killing the king is a solution to many problems, the monarch's rule will become less stable. At that time, war and chaos will occur... If the son of the iris moon may be happy about this
, but they are all believers of the banquet master... they just want to have fun and don't want to touch those dangerous things.
They want wealth and enjoyment, but do not want to take on work and responsibility, so they can only depend on the monarch and exist as "nobles".
——But even if they know this won’t work, what can they do?
Do they still dare to give advice to Peng Bonazi?
Peng Bonachi will eat you alive when he gets angry.
Just when the Moon Child was in chaos, Professor Odvar Rashmi also learned the news from his lover and friend, Pomponazzi's "daughter" Blood Coral.
"...Peng Bonazi is dead?"
Professor Laxmi said in astonishment.
As the professor of the Ziggurat, he did not receive any information from the Ziggurat - he immediately knew that he had probably been abandoned by the Ziggurat.
If nothing unexpected happened... he felt that Peng Bonaqi's death had something to do with him.
It was because he conveyed the information that "Aleister is in Leipzig" to Pomponazzi that Pomponazzi rushed to Leipzig. Soon after that, both the Count of Leipzig and the first Red Chancellor Pomponazzi came to visit him.
No news...
Now the Son of the Moon is in chaos and has no leader, so no one has realized that there is something wrong with him. But I am afraid that this situation will not last long.
——So Professor Laxmi immediately started packing his things and prepared to run away.
He didn't have anything to bring, and most of it was in his suitcase. So after he hurried back to pack the suitcase, he rushed out with the suitcase in hand.
As soon as he went out, he saw the blood coral quietly leaning against the wall.
It was a stunningly beautiful girl who looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.
She has long, crimson wavy hair, delicate and deep facial features, and her crimson pupils are shining brightly. The girl is now crossing her arms and looking sideways at him meaningfully.
"What are you going for?" she asked.
"...I plan to go back to the Ziggurat."
Professor Laxmi had an expressionless face and made his signature calm and low voice.
But he subconsciously tightened his grip on the suitcase in his hand——
The handle of the suitcase is made of human thigh bones. Although it does not have the most critical spine and skull, holding the processed leg bones can exert some magical effects.
Blood Coral just sneered: "Really? Are you sure you can go back?"
"The principal has a gentle personality and will not care about such mundane matters. What's more, my actions are with the tacit approval of the black prime minister."
Professor Laxmi said calmly.
"Maybe."
Blood Coral said casually: "You may be able to return to the Ziggurat, but others will soon reflect on the role you played in the death of your father. Maybe some people will be grateful to you, but more people will hate you.
You. The Moon Child is very vindictive.
"Can you guarantee that you will never leave the ziggurat again in your life? If you don't run away now, when they react...it won't be safe on the boat."
Professor Laxmi was a little surprised when he heard Blood Coral's words.
"'Others'..."
He repeated Blood Coral's words in a low voice.
Professor Laxmi was smart - he immediately realized what the blood coral was implying: "You want to leave Star Antimony?"
"I'm very beautiful," Blood Coral said without hesitation, "I should be the most beautiful among Star Antimony's Children of the Moon, right?"
"Um."
Professor Laxmi nodded, and then added: "Perhaps a little worse than Miss Aleister."
"...Um, okay."
Blood Coral curled his lips unhappily, and simply said frankly: "What I mean is, since my father is gone...then I don't feel very safe if I continue to stay in Star Antimony. My brothers and sisters, right
I have coveted it for a long time; my sister has always been hostile to me. Not to mention the children of the moon from foreign countries... they are too cruel and rough.
"If it falls into the hands of my brothers and sisters, the worst possible outcome is that it will be locked up in the basement. But if it falls into the hands of Iris' Moonchild, they may be brutally executed.
"Xing Antimony is no longer worth keeping. If you want to run away, take me with you. I am also very strong and can protect you as a teammate - by the way, where are you going?"
"...the Dwarf Mountains in the northern continent and the ancient Parthian kingdom in the east. Although they are somewhat hostile to necromancers, you can still find jobs. Or you can go to Horus, who believes in the sun god. They are also good at necromancy.
Or just go to the Southern Continent, there will always be somewhere to go."
Professor Laxmi said without hesitation: "As long as it's not Avalon or Iris, you can choose one among them."
It was obvious that he had already been prepared to run away.
"First of all, exclude the ancient kingdom of Parthia and Horus. I don't want to be captured as a slave... The Horus people are not very friendly to the Sons of the Moon. Choose one from the north or the south."
"Then go to the south," Professor Laxmi replied. "Trolls are easier to deal with than dwarves."
"Okay, let's go."
Blood Coral nodded without hesitation: "The heavy snow outside has hurt me a lot... You protect me to the port, and I will find a ship to take us away. Do you have anyone else who needs to be taken away?"
The child Paul's face flashed in Professor Laxmi's mind.
He hesitated and asked, "Where's Paul? That kid is your favorite blood servant, right? Why don't you take him with you?"
"are you sure?"
Blood Coral gave him a meaningful look: "I thought you would want to live a two-person world with me... In that case, go pick up Paul first. With a child in hand, you can communicate with the southerners.
It's simpler. Those trolls are not that wary of children.
"——If you can't find food on a deserted island, it can also be used as your food reserve, right? Necromancy is the art of utilizing corpses, right?"
"I wouldn't do anything like that."
Professor Laxmi said without hesitation.
"Indeed," Blood Coral said sarcastically, "after all, you prefer corpses to living people. If it weren't for this habit of yours, I wouldn't dare to go with you."
Laxmi remained silent and just pulled the box and walked out.
At this time, the young monarch Valentine VIII was staring blankly at the heavy snowfall outside the window.
His face turned pale——
Just now, he had learned from his mother Louise about the death of his "adopted father" Pomponazzi.
——No, didn’t you just push me to the position of king?
You are dead...what should I do?
"Winter nights are long."
Louise whispered behind him and gently held Valentine VIII in her arms: "I'm afraid the snow won't stop for a while."
"So, mother?"
Valentine VIII's voice was trembling.
"This snow contains the energy of death, and those who die in the snow will turn into undead. There will be no fight with Narcissus, and there may even be a quarrel with Black Eagle... The Ziggurat probably won't
We will take action. Next, we must first solve the problem of undead natural disasters in Xing Antimony, and this will probably be a very long matter."
Louise's voice was soft and patient: "Without father's suppression...whether it is a society or an association, some thoughts will arise that should not be had.
"Mom is not that strong, and she can't protect you from so many people. If you want the Son of the Moon to continue to protect you, I'm afraid you have to pay a price. It doesn't matter to you, but you... are still human after all.
"You are not like us, who can draw strength and stabilize your mind from that kind of joy."
"……so what?"
Valentine VIII sobbed, his voice whimpering.
Because he had already felt it - his mother was lying on his back, and her warm breath was already hitting the back of his neck.
That should have been a heartwarming scene, but now it made Valentine VIII feel chills in his limbs.
"I should have waited a few more days, but now I can't wait any longer. A monarch with many weaknesses has far more negative implications than positive..."
As she spoke, Louise gently licked Valentine VIII's neck, as if disinfecting it with alcohol before giving an injection.
Her pupils were shining bright red, while Valentine VIII, who had his back to his mother, slowly shed tears.
"Grow up quickly, Lucien...become a real child of the moon."
She whispered, but there was no sadness in her eyes, but sparkling: "For yourself, and for the stability of Xing Antimony——
"Good night, little Lucien. I will wake you up in forty days."
After saying that, she bit down on Valentine VIII's neck and sucked his blood.
Even when Valentine VIII's limbs twitched and his legs kicked wildly, she did not waver at all.
Louise just held her biological son down until he drank all the blood.
Then she bit her thumb.
"Take care of your people, Xue Tiansi...make them reborn, just like my rebirth..."
She recited in a low voice, dropped two drops of blood into the eyes of Valentine VIII, and then gently closed his open eyes slowly.
"It's March 26th now..."
Louise murmured in a low voice and counted the days happily: "After forty nights, the newborn Moon Child will wake up."
Although at that time he could only move at night, could not be exposed to direct sunlight, and had to swallow blood and phantoms every day... But in just forty days, he would become a complete son of the moon.
"——On the fifth of May, the king of this country will return to his place."
Louise whispered firmly: "Before that... let me perform the duties of a king for him."
