The palace is gorgeous, the stairs are shiny, and the spears of the bronze statues of knights are covered with green vines. Water from the melted ice and snow flows from bottom to top, scouring the dome made of a single piece of sapphire. The crimson carpet was covered with thumb pearls, and the girls in the band and chorus were all barefoot. She couldn't help but lower her gaze, wanting to see if their insteps were bulging.
"It's surprising that your welcome is more warm than I imagined." The guest said.
"I don't welcome you." The master replied, "It is Byrne who welcomes you. Their leader is good at making his own decisions, and you personally appointed him last time."
Such a reward is enough to please her. "Is it Joseph? I'm so happy, even the pain of the wound has eased." Obviously the master didn't think so. But the more bored he was, the happier she was. "I think I'll stay a few more days."
"I don't welcome you," the host repeated.
"Then you can go to your grave. The Bones and the Corpse Witch will teach you what passion is. That is your home, Black Knight."
"Byrne is my home," the Black Knight said, his voice flat and emphatic, but Lametta could hear the irony in it.
His Majesty the King of the Starless Night believes that the Nameless People are all brothers, sisters, parents and relatives, and his lords are no exception. However, the demon lords were not all members of the Starless Night. They came from different mysterious fulcrums. Yes, otherwise the lord would be lying when he said it. Lametta became Lord Quicksilver the day she was abandoned by the goddess, with a new family and hometown.
But the Black Knight is the exception. Lametta had never seen him before the Catastrophe of the Undead. But one day His Majesty took him to Byrne and announced that the Black Knight was the undead lord of the starless night. What's even more surprising is that her king wants her to admit that the undead is Byrne's acting castellan because he needs some time alone. Lametta suspected that the Black Knight was originally a member of the Starless Night, and that the king simply sent him to Gavash.
Now he's back, as Lord of the Starless Night. Just a loser. Lametta did not think that the disaster of the undead had brought much trauma to the mysterious realm. The White Prophecy allowed the Holy Council of Radiance to gain a foothold in Knox, and the Tacroy of the Sky gained the most powerful messenger in history. . Thinking of Bai Zhizhi, she felt tingling all over. I'm angry at the Black Knight, she realized, but the anger is not without cause.
The territory her king gave to the Black Knight was Gauta Croy, and perhaps he was also venting his anger. Lametta suddenly came up with this idea. To be honest, there has never been a Nameless One in the tower. The astrologers are Knox's observers. It is almost impossible for her brother to deceive their eyes. Moreover, the saint of the tower, "Dark Night Awakening", is a legendary prophet. Lametta is walking on thin ice every day under the hands of the wizard saint "Second Truth". The situation in the tower branch is probably even more difficult.
In San Carlos she thought she could cause trouble for the tower, but instead she ran into the White Envoy. Lametta suspected that he was on the verge of becoming a saint. It is said that the other party actually captured the Cardinal of the Glorious Council alive under the mystery of Broken Moon. This sounds like a fantasy to Lametta.
"Whatever you say, this is my hometown too. I hope the next time I come back, you won't be the one to greet me."
The host glanced at him from under his iron helmet, which was as dark as an abyss, but the guest didn't feel scared. It's just the sight of a dead person, worthy only of curses and hatred. He is dead, but she is still alive. "You should be concerned about how I got hurt," she told him. "I'm your sister."
"You're not the sister I want. Besides, I know how you got hurt. You asked for it."
"You blame me for entering your territory?"
"I blame you for abandoning your territory."
The Black Knight's words are not difficult to understand. He thought I would die at the hands of the White Envoy, but she let him down. "Of course you can't agree with me. You have been hiding in the Sunken Plane for long enough. Blumnot's gang can sometimes make some jokes, but as a result, you don't even dare to meet the White Envoy."
"How did you feel when you met him?" He looked at her, with an unspoken mocking look in his eyes. "The Tower is not the School of Silence."
"There is no wizard like Gavash," she shot back.
The Black Knight stopped replying, but it wasn't because he was shrinking. Lametta knew the undead lord, whose tongue was as sharp as his sword, but if he could swing his arms, he wouldn't choose the former. And Lametta didn't want to start a fight with his brother as soon as he got home. "The welcome party is nice, but I have business to see His Majesty."
"He's busy. He says what he has to say."
"It's a big deal. Black Knight, you alone can't make the decision." She believed that her explanation meant that she had given the greatest concession. "Your Majesty did not refuse me to see him. Could it be that you have become his watchdog?"
"You should understand the meaning of being alone, Lametta. This is His Majesty's request." As a result, the dead man seemed to ignore her words.
"His Majesty also requested that the status of the Confessions be reported as soon as possible. I should come back as soon as it disappears."
He didn't even look at her. "Then tell me."
"You are not the king of Byrne yet." Although this is almost a matter of time, Lametta hopes that day will never come. At that time she would rather go to Oglethel, where the brothers were less unpleasant. "I'm too lazy to bother you, Black Knight. I have to see His Majesty, right now. This matter has something to do with Croita." There is also the Oath Keepers Alliance.
The Black Knight's eyes finally moved back to her face. "Tower?"
"It's more than that. By the way, is there anyone else?"
"Who are you looking for?"
"Anlini. Our Lord of Shimmer."
"I drove him to Ogresel. There are only Seroma... and me here."
"That's better. I thought he couldn't leave." Seroma's territory is in the Oath Keepers Alliance, and people call him the Lord of the Flame Moon. Lametta has dealt with him a lot, and the cooperation with him is quite pleasant.
The black knight turned around and led her into the main hall. "Is the detection station ready?" Lametta teased. It seems that his intention to stop me is as determined as expected, she thought to herself, otherwise he would not notify the detection station. Maybe he didn't dare to really stop me.
Lord Fire Moon is waiting for them. "I thought this trip was in vain." His whole body was shrouded in a hazy halo, and his outline could not be seen clearly. "Your Majesty has been alone for too long. Fortunately, you are back, dear Lametta. I don't want to be the only one alive in the house."
"It has been difficult for me to withdraw recently, but the situation is urgent and I must come back." Lametta did not greet this brother, but went straight to the topic: "Everyone knows that the Vampires have withdrawn from the Oath Keepers Alliance. The members of the Silent School People are swarming into a small human kingdom. It's a vassal state of the Tower, and the astrologers aren't reacting quite right."
"I don't think they will affect Byrne," Seroma said. "They are unprofessional. At least they are not as vicious as the Paladins."
"Eastman is a vassal state of the Tower, and there is no more professional demon hunter than the White Envoy of the Tower!"
"The extremely dark nights are a big hindrance," Seroma said. "Due to the visit of Fife Tanner's envoys to Wynneworth, the entrance to Byrne has not been open for a while. Of course we will be vigilant, but There’s no need to worry too much.”
"You see, here's the problem. Byrne will be more vigilant about the whereabouts of demon hunters, but the wizards and vampires of the school are pouring into Eastman, and the tower doesn't think it's wrong. Although it's not as serious as life and death, this matter It’s about the tower’s reputation.”
"We all know the reason." Black Knight interrupted her, "Your little actions in San Carlos attracted the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Byrne will remember your contribution."
"You should learn a lesson from the Black Knight, Lametta." Seroma said. "We have all seen the results of the undead plague." He stood slightly on her side.
"The birth of the Sky Realm is unpredictable. Complaining that our career accidentally succeeded him? You are really promising." The Black Knight's tone was full of contempt.
"More than complaining." Lametta hoped that he would not provoke conflicts anytime and anywhere. The last time Anlini returned to Byrne, he found an excuse to drag him into the battlefield. As a result, the unlucky Shimmer Lord "missed a move" and was soundly beaten by the Black Knight. Of course, everyone acquiesced at that time: Alini had been chased by the Parliament and fled to Whinney Watts. Needless to say, he wanted to escape into Byrne. Once the location of the headquarters is known to the mysterious realm, the starless night will never be peaceful.
Maybe he wants to find fault with me this time, Lametta thought, for the sake of his so-called territory that cannot be developed at all. "We must face this enemy you created, Black Knight. And I tried, and got the information."
The Black Knight had no intention of changing his attitude. "What do you know that I don't know? Tell me."
"This is an unexpected gain. At first, I thought it would be someone else going to San Carlos, because the White Envoy does not always stop in the City of Floating Clouds, but instead the Tower sent the Minister of Foreign Affairs."
"Croita hopes that the rebellion will be put down as soon as possible." Seroma said, "It seems that the astronomy room has encountered some trouble."
"Their job is to find trouble in the world and then solve them. There is nothing strange about this. What is strange is Croita's attitude towards the vassals. I heard rumors in the Eastman Capital, the Lion, the Witch of Destiny and the White The envoys, initially the tower sent three Sky Realms to Iron Claw City, now the White Envoys have pacified San Carlos, and the Lion and the Witch arrived in Knight's Bay one after the other."
"Are they waiting for the tower commander?" Seroma thought. "And why separate operations?"
The Black Knight said inexplicably: "It seems that your time is not tight."
It seems you are not far from us. LaMetta knew the true meaning of his words. She didn't intend to hide it: "The Silent School sent wizards to Eastman to find the lost Holy Book of Confessions."
