Waiting is such a long thing, and at the same time, it makes people anxious.
The big clock on the top floor of the palace rang twelve times. However, there were still no other electors in the spacious palace hall. Only Emperor Louis Bode and Maximian sat there and whispered,
It seemed that the topic of conversation was not about the upcoming barbarian invasion, but about trivial matters of daily life.
Aliria can't stand it any longer——
She tried to get up several times to urge the emperor, but was forced to sit down again by Rhodes.
Finally, two hours later, the first elector besides Maximian entered the palace.
"Constantine, Elector of Wesenland."
Maximian introduced. However, even if Maximian didn't say anything, Rhodes could guess the identity of the other party. Not because of anything else, just because of the rune sword worn on his waist. Rhodes had met Maximian.
An's rune sword is not an ordinary weapon. It is a weapon unique to the electors of the empire. It is a symbol of identity and status. Only the electors can own it. Each rune sword has its own name and history, and Weisen
The leader of the Rune Fang is called the Blood Envoy. The blade is hidden under the gorgeous scabbard, and Rhodes cannot see it, but the hilt is clearly visible. It is milky white, and it is said that the Rune Fang uses dragon teeth and bones to make the hilt.
, although I don’t know if the legend is true, but its gorgeousness can be seen at a glance.
"My emperor."
Constantine made a fist with one hand and bowed his head in salute. Before he could finish the gesture, he was stopped by the emperor himself.
"Do not bother."
Louis Bird said, his eyes turned to the little girl behind Constantine——
"Emmanuel, come on, let me see, you've grown so tall."
The little girl walked towards the emperor shyly, with two bright red patches on her childish face.
It can be seen that it is the most important relative of the elector, otherwise he would not be with him all the time.
"You haven't been to Altdorf for a long time, and Karl always talks about you."
Louis Bird joked so much that it made the little girl even more shy. It seems that she has entered puberty and already knows a thing or two about the relationship between male and female friends. She can no longer play with boys as freely as she did when she was a child. For young people,
Karl, her playmate at that time, kept a certain distance. However, at a young age, she may not understand the "inheritance of friendship" between her fathers. Marriage between royal families and nobles is common, so if a person living in a
Most people in high positions have other motives for being nice to you.
"Is...is he okay?"
Emmanuel asked shyly.
"……fine……"
Louis Bird paused and immediately joked——
"You can go find him. He misses you very much. If that brat dares to bully you, just tell me."
Louis Bird looked aggressive. Emmanuel had a faint smile on his face.
"hypocritical."
Sitting next to Rhodes, Aliria whispered in a low voice.
Rhodes could only wink at her, while the elf turned his head disdainfully.
The next second, the emperor enthusiastically acted as a go-between and introduced this ally from the far north to Constantine, the elector of Iveyland——
"Rod Lawn. Grand Duke of Kislev, Lord Protector, Grand Lord of the North..."
Louis Bird wanted to introduce more titles, but was interrupted by Constantine.
"I've heard about you."
He said with a loud voice, not like an elderly middle-aged man at all.
"Vampires ruled Kislev, and you defeated her. The people worship you, the savior of Kislev."
"There is no savior. Without me, Catalina will be overthrown. It's just a matter of time."
Rhodes smiled and replied——
"If the people's sufferings are not solved, whoever becomes the czar will be removed from power."
"Pavel is on the throne and I hope he can solve these problems."
Constantine's voice became deeper. From his deep eyes, Rhodes could already feel that these words were not simple. Although he was thousands of miles away, the elector of the Weisen Territory seemed to be concerned about the neighboring countries.
The current turmoil has its own views and ideas.
"We should trust our relatives."
Rhodes returned with a smile.
"Yes, the world will eventually belong to them, and our spirit, faith, glory and knowledge will also be passed down to them. For example, my children."
Constantine narrowed his eyes and said.
Rhodes knew that there was something in what this middle-aged man said. Strong men would leave the best resources to their children. Constantine would leave the best resources to his children so that the family's power could be passed on... Rhodes knew
He was actually alluding to himself, alluding to the fact that his only daughter Denis would also receive this inheritance. Although he was thousands of miles away, Constantine already knew who the real leader of Kislev was.
While chatting, there was a sound of ding-dong-ding-dong footsteps coming from the door of the hall.
The leading man wore a lion skin coat. As soon as he entered the hall, he took off his coat and put it in the hands of the attendants, revealing the velvet silk robe underneath. Gold chains hung from his shoulders to his waist, and were worn on his thick fingers.
There is a huge ruby. Even though it is indoors, its dazzling brilliance cannot be concealed.
Like Maximian and Constantine, the man wears the same rune tooth around his waist. There is no doubt that this is also an elector of the empire. However, his high-profile and gorgeous appearance really attracts attention.
.
"Marius Leitdorf, Elector of Iverland."
Maximian continued to introduce.
Surrounded by his attendants, the proud lord walked towards the emperor. Although he also responded with standard etiquette, Rhodes could see arrogance and disdain in his eyes.
"I came here when I heard the news. However, it was not to fight with the barbarians, but because I haven't seen you for too long, Louis Bird, my noble emperor, my brother."
Marius raised his head and spoke loudly, so loudly that the whole hall echoed with the man's voice.
"Then you must be Rod Lawn."
Marius spoke to Rhodes almost in an affirmative tone.
For a moment, Rhodes couldn't stand his arrogance and arrogance. But he still endured it and nodded slightly.
"Are barbarians about to invade the empire? And from the sea? This is the first time I have heard of it."
After Marius finished speaking, he burst out laughing——
"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend any of you who doubted it. It's just that this is the first time I heard that the Norscans directly invaded the empire without passing through Kislev. It's really unbelievable."
"Strange talk, isn't it? There are many things that will surprise you."
Alyria couldn't help it anymore and shouted at the arrogant elector. This made Emperor Louis Bird look embarrassed. Essentially, Alyria was his guest, but now she had real power.
The electorate is really disrespectful.
But it seemed that Marius didn't mind. Perhaps seeing the elf's beautiful face, most of his anger disappeared.
"Tell me, what else is surprising?"
Marius stared at Aliria and asked with a smile.
"When all your people are here, I will tell you what we have seen along the way. I really can't wait. Ask the soldiers who are on the road with me, and they will tell you too."
"The crazy soldier followed a wood elf into the vast northern continent, and encountered a frost dragon and a mammoth. It's really crazy."
"Nothing crazier than this has yet to come. You will see it soon. Moreover, mortal power will eventually be unable to withstand this storm."
Rhodes' cold voice interrupted the arrogant words of the Elector Marius. The atmosphere suddenly turned freezing...
