When Black Hawk's military nobles arrived at the Narcissus Principality, they immediately received a warm welcome.
Inside the warm mage tower, upon seeing their arrival, the mage lords who had been waiting here took the initiative to greet them.
Several middle-aged tough guys in pure black military uniforms hugged the handsome men and beauties in thin robes across from them with smiles on their faces, and performed an intimate kiss-to-cheek salute. There was no trace of the fact that they had been fighting for several months.
of war.
"The holy blood bless you, brother. Congratulations on the founding of your country... and congratulations on becoming young."
"May the holy blood boil day and night, dear sisters. You are free."
Several Black Eagle nobles sent heartfelt congratulations.
They call each other brothers and sisters, which is also the most affectionate name for each other among Moon Children. It usually only appears among Moon Children of the same faith.
Although the beliefs of the Children of the Moon in Black Eagle and Narcissus are slightly different...the Black Eagle nobles themselves are not directly related to the red element, and they are often at war. Their belief in the host is not that firm, just because of the mainstream belief of Star Antimony
The master of the banquet, so they obeyed the order - or followed the trend and believed in the master of the banquet.
But now that Hong Xiang is dead, it is not impossible for them to convert to Xue Tiansi.
In this case, calling "brothers and sisters" is very helpful. It gives people a feeling that their beliefs are recognized.
——Just like pagans respectfully greet each other according to the greetings of the other sect.
The leading male mage smiled and nodded because of this: "Thank you, General Miller, General Hepburn."
He looked very happy and enthusiastically hugged the Black Hawk nobles one by one.
He is Lord Yolande, the most powerful mage lord in the Narcissus Principality.
He is also the only old mage who has survived from the time of the last Narcissus, Dracula Tsepes.
Major General Miller speculated in his mind.
When he first came here, Lord Yolande was still a frail old man who looked like he was about to die even if he took two steps.
The last time he came here, he had become a son of the moon and returned to the middle-aged level of forty or fifty years old.
But now, he has regained the youthfulness of his twenties and thirties, and is walking as fast as the wind!
——Both are children of the moon, why can’t they rejuvenate themselves?
Is it because... of the rituals and magical arts given to believers by the Blood Sky Division?
And their changes don't stop there.
Originally, these mages were supposed to have fragile and weak bodies.
Their souls are too powerful - all the power obtained in the promotion ceremony is used to transform the soul, while neglecting to transform the body, which can easily lead to "spiritual body imbalance syndrome". The result is that they will have a headache every day after waking up.
It hurts every day, and hurts every day. Only by taking secret medicine every day can I maintain my condition.
But now, these mages are all strong and full of blood. Their body temperature is as hot as a normal person's fever, and their body strength has never been exercised but is still strong. When they hug, they can make the Black Eagle nobles
They clearly feel that they are both children of the moon, but they do not have this characteristic, and their body temperature is the same as that of ordinary people. It only becomes hot when they are excited.
...Is this the magic of Xuetiansi?
The biggest difference from the Sons of the Moon on Star Antimony's side is...their pupils are all bright red, shining like rubies. But the pupils of these mages are all dark red, closer to black-brown than red.
Like dried blood.
Just looking directly at it makes people feel timid...if they were ordinary people, they would probably shiver uncontrollably.
——That is the secondary fear aura.
Major General Miller recognized this ability.
It is not a spell, but a special ability that is always in the body.
"Thanks to you too, General."
Lord Yolande nodded gratefully: "If it weren't for your help...if you brave warriors rush in at all costs, I'm afraid it would cause a lot of trouble to my students."
"Students...Lord Yolande really dotes on them." General Hepburn smiled.
"There is no way. Just like in front of parents, children will always be children; to a mage lord, even if those apprentices have graduated from us for decades, they are still our students."
Lord Yolande said happily: "This is our tradition. It has been like this for hundreds of years."
Only at this time can you see some traces of aging in his smile and tone.
The essence of the Mage Tower is a kind of learning. It is similar to the teaching model of the Ziggurat, but it is fundamentally different.
Because all the upper-level officials of Narcissus Principality are mages, and they can only be mages.
In the Narcissus Principality, an official who does not have the path of wisdom will be directly regarded as incompetent.
The same is true of professional ranks without the mainstream path, and you cannot become a powerful person. But in the Narcissus Principality, this kind of discrimination is even more serious than Avalon's admiration for the authoritarian path - because without a rank of the authoritarian path, at most
It only proves that you are rebellious, disobedient, and don’t want to take care of others.
Young mage apprentices learn from different mage towers and have the same group of teachers. And they have natural arrogance and exclusivity - after all, mages are born on the path of wisdom and have IQ suppression...generally different from other paths.
They can't even play together.
Their senior brothers and sisters are their seniors in the same path and profession, and they have a closer relationship because of the teacher-student relationship. This teacher-student inheritance relationship is far more trustworthy than the relationship of kinship or fellow villagers, and it is also
Easier to trace responsibility.
As a result, all officials will give preferential treatment to and promote their fellow students. As the masters of the Mage Tower, the mage lords, even if they are not officials, are not real "lords", but they are better than foreign lords.
He has much stronger control, and naturally controls all local affairs.
It is precisely for this reason that the Star Antimony people cannot manage the Narcissus Principality at all. With the Black Eagle Territory in between, these mages can only be allowed to govern themselves in the end.
Facing Lord Yolande, who seemed humble and friendly, but still had some arrogant words, the two generals had no reaction.
After all, this is not the first time they have dealt with these mage lords.
This was true even before they became Moonchildren.
Now that they have become immortals and gained a powerful body, they have made up for the most serious shortcomings of the mage, and it is natural for them to become more arrogant. Anyway, they were all adaptors before - although the definition of adapting to the path has changed now,
I have never forgotten my ability to speak human words to people and ghosts to ghosts.
"According to the previous agreement," Lord Yolande smiled and nodded reservedly, "You secretly helped us establish a country, and then we started to help you establish a country."
"Thank you for your trustworthiness, brother." Major General Miller nodded gratefully.
"It's okay, General. Mage Tower is not a treacherous person. What's more, in the long run, those who do not keep their promises will only be attacked by the crowd. If a promise is broken once, it will be beaten from generation to generation. This has been true since ancient times."
Lord Yolande nodded slightly and said calmly: "That's the case with the Star Antimony people - none of their promises in the past have been fulfilled. Now the economy is being manipulated by those lowly goblins, but they would rather let those stupid ministers mess around.
They refused to let us interfere. But they didn’t know that the seemingly relieved situation was just drinking poison to quench their thirst... Now that something happened, we were forced to bear the financial gap.
"Star Antimony has fallen to such an end, and everyone has rebelled against their relatives... In the long run, it is just a historical necessity. Balance, Transcendence, Dusk, Love... the four major forces, but none of them are good at governing the country. If you don't have the eye of wisdom, at least you have to have authority.
sword—but they had nothing.
"The Star Antimony people claim to be the orthodox inheritance of the empire. They want to learn the ways of the empire, but they fail to learn it to the end. Little do they know that learning half of it is the most harmful. Most of the staff, prime ministers and ministers in the empire era were magicians, so this must be
It makes sense. Eight hundred years ago, there was a generation of imperial prime minister who was born on the path of equilibrium. Do you know what he did..."
When Lord Yolande spoke, he quoted from scriptures and spoke endlessly.
The two generals were rough men, which was a headache to hear. But they had to give the lords face, after all, they would need help from the Narcissus Principality next.
So they could only wait here and sigh sincerely: "It's true..."
And as they formed an alliance in the mage tower.
The dream world also changed accordingly——
In the dream world, in the crystal mountains where snow is also flying all over the sky.
The silver-haired knight in silver armor was hugging his helmet, kneeling on one knee and saying goodbye to the silver-crowned dragon in the distance.
"The kingdom of warriors has begun the prelude to rebellion. I'm leaving, king... I will never forget your kindness."
The Silver Crowned Dragon sighed slightly, swung its head slightly, and made a deep sound.
"If you want to go, go ahead, Lanmarok. I won't stop you. Remember your oath - you will fight for justice, and your rebellion will conform to the people's will.
"Then, from now on... [you are no longer my knight]."
As the Silver Crowned Dragon's voice fell, it seemed as if invisible chains were disintegrating.
The silver-armored knight Lan Malok breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head to salute the Silver-crowned Dragon for the last time, and then placed his helmet on his sword.
He raised high the incomplete crimson giant sword on the ground.
That was the weapon that once belonged to Antaeus, the god-defying god who transcended the path——
As a giant, he fought for justice, rebelled against his own destiny and blood, and fought to the death with the Supreme Heaven. In the end, he was beaten to pieces by the Supreme Heaven. He became the only Tiansi who truly fell in that battle of punishment.
Then, he used this sword to slash down suddenly, cutting off the helmet and holy sword that Arthur had given him in the past!
He could only hear the sounds of fracture and reconstruction, and the silver flames burning in his eyes degenerated into black-purple black fire. With the Tiansi fragment as the core, the power of the authoritative path in his body was constantly transformed into a power beyond the path.
.
The next moment, the silver armor on his body was spread and burned by the ferocious black fire, turning into pitch-black black armor.
It is obvious that power will be lost when the path is changed, but at this moment, the great achievements of rebellion in various countries in the material world happen to be unaccepted.
Rather than letting any ambitious transcendent get this power and be promoted to Tiansi...
——It would be better to let him accept the fragments of Nitiansi in the first place!
The strength in his body was rising steadily, and his long silver hair was flying automatically without wind.
"I will provide the Avengers with the power of revenge! Knight of revenge, follow my way!"
Lan Malok raised the crimson dagger in his hand and shouted loudly: "I swear to fight for the rebels!
"My path is the path of rebellion, rising from authority - falling to transcendence!"
Then, he stabbed the broken sword of the Tiansi fragment left by the Anti-Tiansi Antaeus into his chest.
The promotion of Snake Father has an increasingly profound impact on the world.
The wall of resistance encountered by being promoted to Tiansi was extremely fragile at this moment - Lan Malok jumped over it.
At this moment, everyone on the earth felt a little desire to rebel in their hearts at the same time.
And Pope Aiwass of the Theocracy felt the reaction immediately.
This is the third Tiansi promoted in March...
In the heavy snow, a new Tiansi who transcended the road was also born.
It was different from what he remembered.
Perhaps because the warrior profession reappeared in the world, Lan Malok did not become the "Bingtiansi", but became the new "Antitiansi". The new profession he created was called "Black Knight". Then
It is a new profession that can only be obtained by those who rebel against authority for the sake of justice. It is a true melee profession that transcends the path.
——History has undergone tremendous changes again.
And this change has made Tiansi completely different...
So soon, the eternal Pope Aiwass issued a holy message to all cardinals.
"——The knight of the Round Table, Lan Malok, was promoted. The Nitiansi who transcended the path was born."
