Act 210 Curtain III

In the center of the northern end of the gloomy and dark hall stands a majestic goddess statue. The goddess is covered in linen robes and holds a fir staff. The other hand hangs naturally, and a giant spider crawls at her feet. This is the goddess of the dead moon. The image of Cress. According to legend, Cress is one of the many incarnations of Martha in the world, so the undead often think that they believe in Martha.

The atmosphere in the temple was a bit solemn. Under the high arches, many acolytes in black robes were prostrate. Low-pitched chanters were praising Cress's scriptures. The chanting voices gathered together far and near. echoed through the halls.

Brando looked at this scene solemnly.

The sound of empty footsteps came from behind him. Andrea followed him not far behind, only a few steps behind. She looked at the hall and asked irrelevant questions:

"Why did Queen Madara suddenly summon us?"

Brando shook his head silently. How could he know? Maybe it was a whim, maybe it was because the negotiations between Delphine and the former had made substantial progress, maybe the envoy sent to Eruin got a reply, or maybe it was for some other reason.

Among them, Delphine's negotiations had come to an end a week ago. A thick pile of agreements and secret treaties were signed in all aspects. The provisions were generally in favor of Eruin, including the unconditional end of the invasion and return of the undead. The prime minister's daughter did a very good job on the Buqi area, which can be said to be perfect. He knew that some of his decisions might cause resentment among some people in Eruin and even hurt the interests of others, but it was no big deal. This provision could shut anyone up.

Unless those people think they have the ability to get Butchi back.

This is only an agreement on the surface. In private, Brando's request is very simple. During the Black Rose War, including the undead lords who participated in the massacre of Eruin civilians before the Black Rose War, they must be punished. On this point, he had no intention of giving in from the beginning. If repaying Butchi is Eruin's bottom line, then this is his bottom line, but to his surprise, he and Prime Minister Qianjin originally thought that the negotiations on this item would fall into hard bargaining, and even they had already Brace yourselves for a stalemate, but Madara's Majesty shows surprising ruthlessness, abandoning nearly everyone on her list. Only a few people who were originally used by Brando and Delphine to bargain were left, and their crimes were relatively minor. In other words, the crime is the undead lord who spreads false rumors.

Even loyal confidants like the Black Plague Lord were abandoned by her without mercy. Such decisive cruelty surprised both Brando and Delphine. The performance of Queen Madala Somewhat unusually, she seemed to be too accommodating and submissive to this negotiation. So for a long time after that, he and Delphine thought that Her Majesty the Queen had some conspiracy. However, after being cautious for half a month, news came from Eruin - the second Black Rose War was over, and the undead were gone. Withdrew from Eruin as promised.

In this case. He was summoned by Her Majesty the Queen.

In the past few months, a lot of things have actually happened. The undead have fought against the crystal clusters several times in the south of the Sea of ​​​​Dead Moon, but not every time they are as lucky as the Battle of Fenhototh. Bromando Although the Black Rose has stabilized its position in Fenhotos, in general, throughout the south. The undead still steadily failed and retreated. Fortunately, Madala's territory is vast, and even if large tracts of territory in the south are lost, it will not be a big deal to the empire, not to mention that most of those vast lands are not originally under the rule of the mercury staff.

Then the group of them returned to the Land of Eternal Death together with Her Majesty the Queen of Madara. Generally speaking, the central area of ​​the Death Moon Empire was relatively stable. It has not been drastically affected by the drastic changes in the empire - on the one hand, because only very little news has spread, but on the other hand, it is also because the so-called drastic changes are actually the same thing to Madara. This is, after all, the year 376 of the First Era,

It's not sixty years later, nor is it the middle of the Second Era. In this era, the territory ruled by the Mercury Rod was actually only the Land of Eternal Death, the central area of ​​the Sea of ​​​​Dead Moon, plus the part bordering Eruin' Prosperity' zone. Her Majesty the Queen claims that the undead order in the north and east and the lichs in Balakirevo are enemies of the empire - isn't that a normal thing? The undead living here thought it was just the war horn sounded by the empire to the east and north.

From this point, Brando has seen Her Majesty the Queen's clever skills. Of course, Delphine, who clearly saw this on the battlefield and proposed this condition, was naturally classified by him in his eyes. There is someone of the same type as Her Majesty the Queen - a woman who is not easy to mess with.

This category of people also includes the Queen of the Wind, Silver Queen Constance, his mother, Antitina, Medissa, and one more, Medissa was added recently.

But the surface stability is only for the lower class. For those upper-class undead nobles who are closely related to this change, they will not know the inside story. Under the surface calm of the Land of Eternal Death, there is a turbulent undercurrent brewing secretly. Those undead lords who have been abandoned by Her Majesty the Queen, and those dark nobles who are unwilling to give up the interests they have obtained, will naturally not give up. In just a month or two, Her Majesty the Queen of Madara has established relationships with the representatives of these vested interests. The forces have fought against each other many times.

But every time, it ended with Her Majesty the Queen's calm victory. Within two months, the corpses of four high-ranking undead lords had been thrown on the central square of the Seat of Eternal Death, and another Escape to the undead sequence. From beginning to end, she was not alone. Instaron and Tagus and the families they represented always stood firmly by Her Majesty's side. After Delphine's analysis and guidance, Brando soon Quickly find a clear thread from it - find out that Her Majesty the Queen is using the power of the emerging nobles to suppress the old undead lords. These people have been abandoned by her one by one in history and crushed by the advancing wheel of history. Now, she has only accelerated the process.

After understanding this, he was a little speechless. The army of undead he had cut off on the battlefield that day had now provided Her Majesty the Queen with room to play. If she hadn't taken the initiative to hand over the mercury staff to him that day. The answer to this mystery has not yet been revealed. Brando almost thought that he had fallen into the opponent's calculations from beginning to end, so that he later spent several days rereading the "Black Rose War Memo" which was several centimeters thick. , one by one, he made sure that there were no loopholes or traps in the above terms. Although Delphine was a little scornful of his behavior, the prime minister's daughter still patiently helped him complete this task.

Then there are the Earth Legion.

Just look at the oil bottle lady behind him, and you will understand that the Earth Legion has never gone far since the Battle of Fenhotos. In fact, they may have nowhere to go. The elemental barrier has collapsed, and those outside the territory The defense line has become fragmented, and it is no more than a dream to hope to resist the dusk invasion outside Warnd. Since Andrea mentioned that the wild elves of Faenzan and Ellanta have already joined the battle, it means that they have a plan. Move to Warnd territory to continue fighting.

In fact, both the Silver Elves and the War Goddess Guards remained, and only the army of the Nameless Ones was missing. According to the chattering girls, these ancient heroic spirits were the last descendants of the Earth Legion, and they were the first generation. Odin, the most precious asset left to Warnd by the Azure Knight, signed a contract with the ancient kings to let their heroic spirits stay in Warnd forever and protect their home and hometown.

Legend has it that after the heroes of the gold and silver races died, their souls would return to the Temple of Heroes in Valhalla and continue to fight for the gods. However, after the Temple of Valor was lost with the Kingdom of God, these heroic souls became the nameless ones. A part of them, they abandoned everything, their names, identities, past memories, leaving only the will to fight and protect.

The Seven-pole Dragon King Fusia stayed to teach Medissa and Hipamira how to become true planeswalkers - although the latter two were just planeswalkers, this evil dragon king came from the era when the Miner people ruled the earth. She said that there was no difference. They still had a lot to learn, but their time was limited.

It told Brando that it planned to take Medisha and Hipamira to a place - the Holy Pool of Radiance, the Holy Land of the Matatanians, and the Planeswalker's Arena. Although it had been abandoned for a long time, There are still many laws of the day left in the void. If Medissa and Hipamira want to mature quickly and become true planeswalkers, that may be the best place.

Brando had some doubts about this, because Tumen didn't mention this place to him that day, and Foscia's arrogant personality naturally didn't bother to explain it to him, leaving only one sentence: Whatever you want - just tell him about it Leave it to him to worry about.

It does not need to consult Medisha and Hipamira, because in its view, the planeswalker does not need to consult the planeswalker creature, as long as Brando gives permission, that is enough.

Brando has reservations about this, but he is still very curious about this planeswalker dragon from the ancient times. First of all, as far as he knows, planeswalkers are all gods, so does Fusia count as one? What about a man of God? If calculated, then it would be interesting, which means that the people of the gods may not be a representative name for a certain race, but an existence that represents a class of power and authority.
