Chapter 340 "Secret Continuation" (3rd Update)
"I actually suspect that this so-called 'Alai' is the 'Aleister' of Avalon. He is the guy who caused His Majesty to be furious some time ago."
General Karl at the window suddenly said: "It is the woman who pulled out the nails we planted in Avalon - this is what my intuition tells me."
"You mean the fat man Drost?"
Count Leipzig laughed, and the gentle smile on his face did not waver at all: "That guy doesn't matter. His Majesty treats him so well just to set an example for the Avalon people who have abandoned darkness and joined the light. His preferential treatment will not last long."
"Do you have inside information?"
General Karl turned around.
"It's not an inside story. Or rather, it's something that many people know."
The elegant red-eyed man smiled and flattered General Karl: "You just disdain to deal with those 'drinking table nobles', so you didn't hear these gossips. But I guess it will be spread to Karl Manor in a few days. Your grandson is still quite active."
"Humph, that guy..."
Old Karl snorted, his face full of disdain, but his words were a bit boastful: "Relying on his young age to reach the fourth energy level, he started to make friends with big shots like an adult. Don't you think about it, is it his turn? Those people are not worth associating with at all, they are just a group of leeches sucking blood from the kingdom, the source of trouble that causes disputes, and only trash with loud enough voices.
"If you ask me, I still want to send him to the army. The battlefield is the most bloody, cruel and desperate place, from which he can draw enough strength. Only power is real in this world--"
As he said this, his eyes like burning gold stared at Albert. Albert trembled immediately.
The old man taught: "You too, Lieutenant Lore.
"Don't work in isolation--You were lucky to be able to make armed gargoyles. Your invention happened to meet the demand for use. But are other flesh and blood creatures useful? You have to go to the battlefield to see for yourself. You have to encounter problems yourself, then you can have questions and then answer them--listen carefully, these are all life experiences."
When Albert heard that he was going to be sent to the battlefield, his face suddenly became bitter.
--I don't want to go!
If I didn't have to graduate to accept sponsorship in my personal name, I would rather stay in the psychic tower to continue studying...
I also want to get a doctorate in biology...
"There's no rush," Count Leipzig advised, "Albert is a genius. Geniuses are always treated preferentially - rather than sending him to a dangerous battlefield before his potential is exhausted, it's better to stay in the rear until he can't rise anymore and then look for inspiration."
Ignoring the old man muttering "How can the battlefield of Xingtan be dangerous?" and "If you can't survive the fourth energy level, you can't survive the fifth energy level," he directly told the gossip he just heard to distract the two people's attention: "Droste won't be able to jump for long.
"When we completely take down Avalon, it will be his death.
"It's just that small island of Avalon, which has no value to us. What we need is population, talents, and resources - the descendants of knights favored by the Silver Crown Dragon, as well as the technology and qualifications to tame griffins. Xingti doesn't have so many people stationed in Avalon, and Avalonians will eventually rule Avalon.
"And when that time comes, Droste will be the sacrifice to appease the anger of the Avalonians - one faction of Xingti likes to use despicable means, while the other faction is quite decent. The decent side attracts decent Avalonians, and then liquidates the evil faction together with the traitors who betrayed them... This is a script that those knights will like very much."
"...You mean, alchemist? "
The old general reacted.
The core crisis of Xingtan at present is the power struggle between demonologists and alchemists.
And there is no doubt that His Majesty is on the side of demonologists.
However, the alchemists are powerful at present, so it is not easy for the royal family to directly stand on the side. They can only remain silent and indulge those alchemists who are becoming more and more arrogant and complacent to cause public dissatisfaction.
Their original purpose was to learn from Iris to complete the constitutional monarchy transformation.
Because there is no doubt that the war is basically over now... The status of demonologists who symbolize war naturally began to decline. The ancient Parthian Kingdom is definitely not able to be defeated, and the Xingtan people have no interest in the desert; the trolls in the south are not to be feared, and the dwarves in the mountains in the north are also a mob.
Only Avalon and Iris are left.
And the alchemists Alchemists and necromancers have also gradually replaced the role of demonologists on the battlefield. In other words, the alchemy that has developed to the extreme has occupied an absolute advantage in the military, civilian and other fields of Star Antimony.
Star Antimony can no longer do without them.
In this case, alchemists only need to prove that they "don't need to rely on demonologists on the battlefield" to get the decisive right to speak.
In the past three hundred years...including the expedition that annexed the Black Eagle Principality and the Narcissus Principality, it was all done by demonologists. This has made Star Antimony have a large number of military nobles.
For example, General Karl.
In this case, demonologists will definitely be completely hostile to alchemists. But in the increasingly extreme alchemist group, there are moderates who sympathize with demonologists and are loyal to the royal family.
And they are undoubtedly the side that can be fought for.
"So His Majesty plans to let those alchemists act - let them start a war on their own and unify Avalon. Then let them make a coup, and then stop them at this time. Kill those people with a counter-insurgency war, and fight with them Complete the cutting. Send these sinners to Avalon, giving Avalon a little relief.
"If the plan goes well, not only can Avalon be obtained safely, but also the extremists in the country can be eliminated in one fell swoop. This is His Majesty's plan."
The Earl of Leipzig explained softly.
The old general frowned: "Why bother? And what if you lose it?
"Those alchemists are developing too fast... maybe if they develop for a while, we really won't be able to defeat them?"
The vampire count shook his head: "Because no one knows the Silver Crown Dragon's attitude towards Avalon, so we can only use this indirect method to annex Avalon."
Having said this, he smiled proudly: "That's why... I said Miss Alai will definitely come. Because I said the Rose Cross... her shadow demon will definitely tell her what the Rose Cross is. She She will definitely come. This is a high-level inheritance of demon scholars from all over the world, just like the inheritance of priests in the Theocracy. As long as she comes and can sit down and talk to me, I will be able to convince her to surrender to us. "
"Are you so confident?"
The old general sneered: "I think she must be a member of the Avalon royal family. I heard that she has a lover over there who is a descendant of the founding family. I also heard that Her Majesty the Queen plans to give him The position of minister... Such a big shot is worthy of her. "
"Not worthy of it."
The vampire count calmly shook his head: "For a transcendent, upward is a desire that can never be eradicated. And the instinct of betrayal cannot be eradicated. She is a genius, and genius means that it is easier to reach the limit. Rose Cross has a special secret method... it can raise the demon incarnation from the fifth level to the sixth level if the conditions are met."
"...sixth level?"
Albert opened his eyes wide: "That's not...it only exists in legends..."
"Eternal Pope, right?"
The vampire count smiled gracefully and said calmly: "But do you know?
"——The sixth energy level is actually not the limit of this world."
Hearing this secret, Albert and General Karl held their breath at the same time.
But Karl suddenly became wary.
He remembered how depraved and evil the Son of the Moon he saw in his dream was... Even though he had been friends with Leipzig, the Son of the Moon, for many years, now he also felt something bad.
The Earl of Leipzig stretched out his hand and put it in front of his lips, whispering seductive words: "This is a secret. [Please don't reveal it]."
That is some kind of ability similar to the spirit of speech. This is one of the reasons why he named himself "Ban".
"——"The Coupling Tantra". This is an ancient stone tablet that Rosicrucian found through recent excavations... It records a ritual that allows the powerful at the fifth energy level to be directly forcibly promoted without going through the promotion ceremony. To the sixth level, just like the Eternal Pope.
"And if you want to activate the power of this stone slab, you need to complete a special ritual to steal the power of the Fallen Sky Division. This ritual can only be completed once... so we need to do our best to absorb those demon incarnations of the fifth energy level. , use this ritual to promote everyone together.
"The Theocracy can become a permanently neutral country if it only has one pope. And if Star Antimony has five, six... or even a dozen popes, can't we easily rule the world? This is what your Majesty stands for without hesitation. Reasons on our side.”
The vampire count said calmly: "The prerequisites for the ritual have been completed and can be opened at any time. It is not opened now just because the president wants to maximize benefits and minimize problems. So it is useless no matter how hard the alchemists jump, , they are destined to fail, and we are bound to win - the only thing that may cause the ritual to fail is probably the hostility of the Pillar God.
"So we must let the Silver Crown Dragon recognize our actions, and we must let Avalon become a part of us before the ceremony begins. Otherwise, if we give birth to more than a dozen sixth-level people in one go, it is very likely that The Avalon royal family uses its trump cards to summon the apostles to descend on a large scale, or cause other unknown difficulties. This is also a factor that must be considered.
"But if Avalon had become a part of us by then, all of this would naturally not have happened. All the current plans in the kingdom are just preparations to 'maximize the success rate of the ritual'.
"And if this ritual succeeds... we may even have a chance to come into contact with the [Seventh Energy Level] that shouldn't exist.
"——If the sixth level is the eternal pope, then what is the seventh level?
"There is no doubt. We will become gods. This is the essence of [Star Antimony] - "Antimony's Triumphal Cart" explains the refinement and sublimation of animal nature, and warns us that as long as the method is appropriate, mortals can become gods."
The vampire count's words were extremely provocative: "Don't you understand yet? That will represent eternity and glory."
Listening to this vast and great plan, Albert couldn't help but tremble.
The old general on the side frowned more and more. He always felt that something was wrong, but maybe it was because he had read too little and couldn't tell whether he was alive or dead.
However, they all clearly realized that the Star Antimony people were standing on the door to a new era.
Taking this step, it would be an unprecedented new era.
"... What is the name of this ceremony? Or, does this plan have a name?"
Albert asked tremblingly.
"Of course."
His Royal Highness smiled, and his eyes seemed to have the hope of the entire universe: "The president named this ceremony...
"--The Tail Ring."
