The Black Scepter

As for the broadband upgrade, Nima did not upgrade from last night to now. She had to go to the Internet cafe to update it. Today, she said that the two changes are good. The update was just wrong. Put them together.

Ask for a red ticket, thanks!

No pay?

Naturally not, on the contrary, all members who perform tasks performed by the heretical ruling will never complain about their underpayment, because after each battle or execution of the task, the relevant task evaluation record will be calculated in an extremely detailed and complicated way. Calculate each person's contribution, and carefully allocate each person's due reward.

All of this cannot be judged by oneself. It is entirely determined by the heretical ruling party. Even the highest-ranking combatants have no right to change the mission rewards-and the rewards are reported in advance by the "willing to fill in the columns" to the ruling department for separate records.

Murphy just filled out a form like this when he was reviewing and filling out the form. Fill in anything he wants on a blank form. The heresy will decide whether to follow the task’s contribution to the task. Rewards are given to the things on the list, which does not restrict most of the prohibited items-because of the "fight for God", the hand of the hand naturally has more privileges and less confession than the monks who only pray. For example, it is okay to fill in the list with "woman", "money" and even "knighthood". These do not contradict the purpose of the heresy tribunal to "punish all unclean heretics".

What Murphys has to do now is to get credit as soon as possible.

The "Mission Release Hall" is actually not large in size. The decoration is old and outdated. Even the color of the wooden table is black and the exact year of manufacture cannot be seen. However, in this slightly crowded room, there are many weak members of the Tribunal who are handing over and assigning tasks-none of the tasks in the Tribunal are fixed, some can be done by someone, some need a group, these things are all You need to decide for yourself, unless it is a unified order within the ruling house, the usual heresy action is to let members freely "dive" in this way.

The emergence of Murphys caused many people to raise their eyelids, and then quickly moved away-no matter how mature a young boy's image is, he still can't let these old guys who have been dealing with the edge of the life and death line all year long have the intention to pay attention, most people Only if this is a noble young master who wants to experience an exciting life.

There are two main categories of formal members in the ruling court, the white robe "sun watcher" and the black robe "night watchman". The responsibilities of the two are different. The white robe is responsible for everything related to religious conflicts, such as the infringement of pagans, The handling of believers in violation of regulations, etc., is generally referred to as "internal" things, and the object is basically human.

The role of the black robe "night watchman" is to deal with all dark creatures, the way is very simple-let all uncleanness go to hell.

Murphy did not have one of these identities, he just stepped forward to the release reception desk, looking at the tasks his current permissions can receive, raising his eyebrows slightly-obviously this level is not difficult to reach. The task is usually something such as investigating or running errands. Expecting it to get merits is basically a fool’s dream, but digging a well does not naturally lead to a dew. It is not a hoe. Murphy chose a "exploration of the paganism in the southwest of the beautiful city. The task of "activities" left this dark building. The task requirements are very simple, one person can do it, but Murphy will naturally not simply walk around in a circle.

Murphy, who had walked out of the ruling court, took a three-corner corner and stepped into the carriage. When he returned to the mansion, he met an invitation from the Earl's Court-not the Lord Count Bolton himself, but his daughter Adeline Brook.

Murphy's previous plan was very successful because he excluded all unstable factors about "women" as far as possible-whether Adelin is really interested in herself is not within the scope of the plan, just need to ha Viscount Linton could be hostile, but his plan might have been too successful. The after-effects now brought are the unpredictable results of Murphys-and after entering the heretical ruling court, Lord Bolton’s asylum appears to be not No matter how important it is, Murphy, who didn’t want to touch Burton too much, can’t refuse this request because of his short mouth.

Helplessly agreeing to Miss Adeline's invitation, Murphy took the still Compton, and the carriage drove to Earl's Court again in the dusk.

Byzantine Empire, Constantine.

The climate of the imperial capital in winter is not cold. The Mediterranean climate makes it as mild and rainy as ever. After the heavy snow, the empire’s public opinion center has been irretrievably concentrated on the upcoming war, Windsor, Lange Nus and several well-known surnames made the entire upper class nobles of Constantine begin a "noble conscription fever".

Countless aristocratic heirs almost broke the threshold of Windsor, the head of the "health knights" for a place to participate in the battle. The old duke seems to no longer have any frustrated look because his only **** is missing. It's just that the upper class of the Imperial Capital has always heard that the Windsor family is a "cursed family", but in another way to make the former low-key duke famous.

And Prince Langenus, one of the Knights of the Empire, read several reports about his daughter in his not luxurious mansion-Lilith Langinus, the daughter of the prince abandoned His noble title, as a normal cavalry, became a member of the "health knights" and joined the second batch of teams expected to begin the expedition two months later.

A dagger, a warhorse, Lilith has no other valuable personal items. Such a tough and self-willed female knight even makes Edward III a little helpless.

"The longsword that yearns for freedom is not blood-stained or a weapon."

Prince Langinus did not have any extra emotional expression, and the feather pen wrote such a sentence, as dazzling as family instructions.

After signing a military officer’s identity declaration form, the next parchment was a short greeting from “Eagle Eyes”. There was no substantive content, but even so, the prince still squinted for a long time, and eventually took it. Throw aside, no reply.

The prince would rather trust "creed", an organization outside the imperial military history system, rather than use the "eagle eye" that should belong to the royal family. This origin is estimated that ordinary people will not know the reason for life.

Some things can't be talked about is a knot, but talked about, but a scar.

...

At this time, the Duke of Azshara Palace did not have the cold and silent atmosphere of the past.

If anyone who has seen the decisive scene of the leader of an intelligence organization who has always been deserted is standing at the Duke's Palace at this moment, it is estimated that he will not think of the situation at this moment by **** his head down.

The still empty hall echoed with a low but slightly sad sound of piano.

Violgen, an instrument that the Duke of Azshara has not touched in nearly a decade, now flows stream-like clear notes in those long but pale hands.

In Barrenhe’s Etude in C major, the quiet and melancholy tune made Duke Azshara’s eyes slightly closed, and Ai in a simple black robe sat alone in the empty hall, and there was no servant around.

Qu Bi.

The technology is not as good as the skillful Duke Azshara sighed and sighed: "The sorrow of the Mori River, the only luthier in the Kaslandi Empire with the title of "Miss"... a dead peerless Strong, a piece that has only been played three times, what kind of identity do you have?"

The sacred Gabriel empire, Medici, dusk.

Murphy, who walked into Earl’s Court, did not feel the slight nervousness when he last came here-after all, the purpose of coming here was to make a key step of his own planning, tolerate no errors, superficial calmness and calmness and inner uneasiness Forever, the two are irrelevant. It seems that Murphys has been able to achieve the most common emotions of the nobility. It is just that he has to be truly strong and fear no one’s self-confidence.

Raising his head to greet himself was only Adeline.

In a plain dress, Miss Adeline didn't have an unnecessary smile. Murphy kissed the back of her hand, and she still didn't refuse.

"My father has something to do. This is a private invitation."

Adeline didn’t say any other reason, but he said it straightforwardly, which made Murphy a little uncomfortable. He didn’t say anything that the nobles used to flatter the beautiful lady and the lady. It’s just this case. He knew he was absolutely disgusting if he moved out of the set. Adeline in front of him had already told Murphys that she would never eat this set with her previous actions.

The Earl’s Court can actually be called the main palace or the lord’s palace. In short, the power center of the rich city of Medici is basically here. Although it is located at the peak of regional power, there is no extravagant luxury. The existence of the Brook family Time is obviously much longer than those of the upstarts, and the portraits of the previous heads of the family also prove this, so Murphy can also smell a breath similar to the Windsor family, walking in the precipitation of the Gabriel empire In the hallway of the old nobility, Murphy followed behind the housekeeper, and Adeline walking in front of him kept pace. It seemed that the purpose was to take Murphy directly to his small courtyard while the housekeeper was in Murphy. After arriving, Compton was signalled by Adeline not to follow up.

This request made the housekeeper look embarrassed. Obviously, he did not trust a guest who had visited Earl's Palace only once and his servant, who seemed to be a little nervous.

Murphy did not embarrass the butler, and said softly: "Maybe I still have some slightly troublesome requests that need the butler to help, and I hope Miss Adeline understands."

So the housekeeper was able to stay next to Adeline, and the noble lady secretly calculated whether Murphys on the Masoka card needed to increase a few values.

As the lord’s daughter-in-law, Adelin has naturally accepted all the best things that Medici can bring out of her childhood. Her residence is exquisite, the flowers in the garden are unusually precious, and the two-story small building But he was very warm. The servant didn't have the fear of fear, but always greeted quietly and indifferently, Yizhi Zhiqiu, Murphy naturally understood that this was a girl with a good heart.

"I don't like the aristocratic rhetoric. Today, it's just a few questions."

Adeline went straight into the subject after sitting safely at Murphys. "No matter what your ultimate purpose is, do you really plan to pursue me?"

Obediently.

Murphy blinked, and didn't seem to respond to what Adeline asked. A full second of stunnedness had proved that he was really surprised by the way and content of this beautiful lady's question-to be honest, even civilians Take this to discuss emotional issues.

"Pursue?" Murphy just wanted to habitually replenish the set of nobles that flattered the woman, but remembered that Adelin didn't eat this set. In the end, it was very straightforward: "In fact, I didn't have this plan. "

silence.

Adeline looked at Murphy, and Murphy looked up at her. The two stared at each other for three seconds. Adeline couldn't see that Murphy was a little guilty or uneasy, and Murphy also couldn't see. When Adeline is embarrassed or upset.

Really strange two young people.

"Very well, I think we can sit down and talk now."

Unexpectedly, Adeline took the lead to speak, and the calm anomaly quickly caught Murphy off guard.

What is she doing?

Murphy sat down with doubt. The decor in the living room was very warm. Without the thick and solemnity of the Earl’s Court Hall, it was more cute and well-behaved. Several landscape paintings, some quirky collections with no name, Murphy Si feels that Adeline, who looks like an ordinary noble lady, seems to have some secrets she can't imagine.

"I don't know Miss Adeline today..."

"There are just a few questions to be clarified," Adeline interrupted Murphy's question, but his expression was a bit mischievous. "Your strength is very strong. Although not as strong as my father, it is not much. This was admitted by him personally, but you are a few decades younger than him, and I would love to know why."

"why?"

Murphy didn't dislike Adelin's little cleverness, looking at the girl who was not disgusted, he replied: "If you have to understand why everything, then life will be very tiring."

"Don't tell me this kind of big truth, I want to hear the answer. Is the Lord Baron from Fording not willing to answer a lady's question?"

Adeline made a reserved look, but after making these words, he made a grimace and continued: "Bah, ah, I don't want to learn this set, I will ask you, do you say it or not?"

A little domineering, but a bit naughty.

Murphy rolled his eyes. He could not imagine that an 18-year-old girl would chat with herself in this way. Finally, she rubbed her eyes and replied: "With effort and opportunity, there is confidence."

"Same as not saying."

Adeline sticks her tongue out and seems to disdain Murphy's answer, "A big knight can't be achieved by training alone. In the Masoka card, Lord Fording's strength is powerful, even in single In the single case, they overthrow the Grand Knight of Caslandi. Although their sense of pride and self-esteem are cramped, this is the root cause of their strength. I say this, right?"

"I haven't fought against the Cavaliers of Caslandi and I have no say."

Murphy shrugged, not understanding why the noble lady understood these things, "In the last few hundred years, the Riverding Empire has not had any conflicts with Kaslandi, and the situation you said does not seem to have occurred throughout history. A few times, how does the strength of the knights in several countries compare and how to judge? The knight competition has never been attended by the knights of Caslandi."

He asked this question very appropriately, seemingly dissatisfied with Adeline, but drawing out the little knowledge in her heart that she wanted to show off.

"Knight contest? That kind of thing is not a benchmark for judging the strength of the knight. I am not an idiot who throws flowers for the knight of the flower shelf. Don't put me with those women!" Adeline seemed to answer in Murphys After entering the house, the first question seemed very familiar, which made the old housekeeper behind her a little surprised-in the past, when facing the noble young masters or housekeepers, I could not see this side of Adeline, the reason? He also did not know.

"It seems that you have some misunderstandings." Murphy waved his hand very politely, and asked a question with a smile: "Do you say it is easy to kill a person with a sword, or everyone thinks that the enemy is dead after the sword is shot?" Is it easy for the enemy to survive?"

Adeline's eyebrows were raised, and her delicate face was still in Murphy's field of vision like a portrait. Then she raised her eyebrows: "It seems that I am still a little shallow, can you tell me about the competition? Things about the conference? Have you ever attended?"

This time it was Murphy's turn to be dumbfounded-where did he participate in the formerly famous "Knight Contest" of the Fording Empire?

It was a five-year knight event for the Fording Empire. The old guy Tang Jidi had told a lot of stories about this. The Knight Tournament Conference is an event that almost all the famous knights on the mainland will go to. Of course, the main players will be The younger generation, and those old monsters who are arrogant and perverted are naturally not interested. They appear occasionally, just to find a suitable apprentice. After all, the honor of a knight is not based on how many opponents are shot down. Saddle, in order to reduce the impact and damage after being hit by a rifle, the lance used is a hollow and easily broken structure, and the casualty rate is lower than the actual battle. It is not a star and a half. Some people disdain this kind of show-like game, but only real knights will understand that if you want to get the ranking of the competition, the difficulty is definitely not much easier than surviving on the battlefield.

Facing Adeline's problems, Murphy had to move out what Tang Jidi told, with a few interesting stories in between, but unexpectedly, Adeline listened with interest, and reached down and took notes with feathers. Missing things, looking at the past, but all are numbers, so that Murphy is a little unknown.

"Okay, I have improved some information. I really want to thank you."

Adeline looked at the parchment in his hand, dried the ink, and then got up and walked to the room upstairs, saying at the same time: "Wait for a while, I will come down quickly."

Murphy raised his eyebrows and watched Adeline leave, and turned his gaze to the housekeeper next to him. The slightly gray-haired middle-aged man was obviously not well-suited to Aideline's style at the moment-because of the It’s not polite to leave a guest on the sidelines, especially when you are the master, but Murphy is not dissatisfied, but just asks softly: "Miss usually likes...?"

"Masoka card."

The old housekeeper thought for a while, or answered truthfully, "Miss has been studying Marsoka cards every day. She started studying at the age of six and is now considered a master in the empire. Do you understand the rules of this game?"

"Game?" Murphy shook his head with a smile and a little helpless expression. "I don't think Masoka is a game. It's a headache for the magician. I didn't expect Miss Adeline It’s a surprise to have such amazing preferences."

Murphy read about Marsoka cards in books, but he did not study this game carefully because it was too unpopular.

The old housekeeper didn’t say much. It seems that this young Fording noble already knew what the Masoka card was-he thought that Adeline would use the card to make the suitor “retreat in difficulty” "This is a very common and common behavior in the aristocratic circle. If you want to reject the suitor, you just need to tell him that you are not worthy of yourself, but the situation seems to be a little unexpected.

Adeline quickly went down the stairs, holding a huge wooden box in his hand, and Murphy could see that it was a custom-made card box-every wooden box containing Marzo cards had lines on it. It has its own identification mark, and the wooden boxes of basic cards are all in a unified style, while the wooden boxes of customized cards will be added with the articles of their own family and the marks of the cards they have created. On the box is the mark of the two-headed lion of the Brook family~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The lines are rough and generous.

"Will it?"

Adeline blinked, and she was in a good mood.

"Just heard about it and never played it. After all, this is hailed as a headache for even magicians."

Murphy smiled and put the short sword aside, "However, I can try it."

"Really?"

Unexpectedly, Adeline, who Murphys would promise, shines with his eyes, reaching out to open the lid with a magic lock on the small necklace key hung on his chest. Inside, there are more than one hundred cards stacked and stacked neatly. The style is simple, each card is longer than the general tarot card, the edge of the animal skin is sewn, the texture is thick, and some of the main cards of the architectural department are also set with crystal nuclei and gemstones exuding magic fluctuations.

"How about this one?"

Adeline took out one of the most gorgeous shapes in the architectural department, the name is quite eye-catching-"City of Faith: Vatican", one of the patterns is both the Vatican St. Peter's Basilica and St. Peter's Square, and there is a trinity under it The logo and the two crossed keys represent the majesty of the Pope, and below are rows of dazzling data and simplified calculation formulas.

Murphy didn't say anything, but said softly: "Can you give me a glance?"

Adeline looked up at Compton, the strong man who had not said a word, and nodded slightly curiously.

"Write down everything."

Murphy only said this to Compton. The latter responded in silence, but reached out and took the card from Murphy without hesitation.

Seven seconds later, he put down the card and then picked up the next one.

Murphy no longer paid attention to Compton, but only motioned to Adeline to give the wooden box where the card was placed to the silly big man, and then shifted the topic: "The memory and strategic vision required by Marceau cards must be outstanding, isn’t it? Did you achieve this without a teacher?"
