The Black Scepter

> For His Majesty Hasselblad, the news that the "creed" conveyed to himself these days is definitely not optimistic1. *『Upload by Wu Jiu Literature Book Friends』

Or, he began to really understand why Murphy could kill half of the continent and was killed by countless military institutions without dying. With the report in hand, Hasselblad Moccledy felt a cry of laughter.

Twenty-seven assassinations, even the driver of the Murphys team failed to hurt a hair. To be honest, from the historical record, the statistics of attacks against various monarchs in the mainland have never heard of anyone who can be so intensively assassinated. I survived, but Murphy did, and pulled out more than half of the masterminds who planned the assassination along the way, and knocked the fools one after another a huge sum of money!

Are they nobles? Did the long-term comfort make their heads rust? Where is the set that is usually intriguing?

"It can only be attributed to the fact that they used the wrong way." Heto, who was standing not far from His Majesty Hasselblad, whispered that there were still a few pieces of parchment in his hand. "Assassination and poisoning, their methods may be useful for the nobles of the same level or lower, but from the perspective of the difference in strength, it seems that these 27 assassinations are concentrated together."

"It's not that the nobles are incompetent, it's that guy who is too strong."

This is Heto’s summary. He never seemed calm. He seemed to have some helplessness. Another parchment in his hand spread out. He continued: "Garding is a bit ashamed of his failure. I don’t think it’s blame. He, a pure magician, is as far away from politics as possible, but he mentioned that Murphy and a knight beside him have exceeded the Holy Grail knight..."

"Nobody can stop him from the huge empire?" His Majesty Hasu carried his hand on his back and shook his head. "Everything in East and West Bali is invincible. Can't all the forces of Buttigia add up to him as an individual? "

"I think the consequences of an "asymmetric war" will not be what you want to see."

Heto whispered his opinion-"asymmetric warfare" is a form of warfare, that is, when the powerful and large number of parties attack the weaker party, the weaker party adopts tactics that are contrary to the conventional and cause the war to not end. , To put it bluntly, it means that Buttigia did not beat Murphy, but if he did, Murphy alone would cause heavy and unnecessary losses to the royal family. [Just find the novel material]

"The royal family will not allow a very threatening guy to exist on the territory."

"But you don't know what he is going to do, Gading said he also doesn't understand Murphy's intentions, and open the portal of time and space? This requirement sounds more like making Gading difficult. If he can't, Carlo--"

"Let a member of the Golden Compass Council conflict with the goal he was ordered to protect? This is not a viable solution."

His Majesty Hasselblad sighed, "It's really shameful to say that the majestic Mocledy family wasn't even able to be **** by a kid."

Before waiting for Heto to say anything, the door of the hall was knocked. After being allowed to enter, the court guard brought a message that made His Majesty Hasu even more troublesome-Murphys and his party had arrived in the Royal City of Buttigia.

"Schedule a direct meeting."

His Majesty Hasselblad rubbed his fingers on the ring symbolizing the king's power, hesitated for a moment, and finally gave the order.

......................................................................................................

For Murphy, when he entered the imperial city of Buttigia, he seemed to see what he expected in the future of his territory.

Tall city walls, amazingly wide streets, commercial areas that can't be seen at a glance, a wide river bordering the distant sea, countless harbors, tall ships and bustling crowds.

There is a faint smell in the city, which is a major feature of Ballice’s exports of spices from various countries on the mainland. From East Ballice, they looked at these shops as if they had entered the metropolis for the first time. They didn’t have time to find them. At any residence, a team of knights in silver armor came straight toward the convoy in the middle of the street, stopped in front of Murphy, and expressed their intentions, and then escorted the party to the palace.

"Heysel, what is your impression of this place?"

Murphy asked the big man who was betrayed by Buttigia in the carriage, and he could see that after Hesser entered Buttigia, his mood was significantly lower. He was not talking to everyone in the team with a big voice. Instead, he sat in the corner of the carriage like he was stunned. []

Regarding Murphy's question, he thought about it and replied in a hoarse voice: "Once I thought it was a hospitable and friendly city, and I did think so in the past five years, until--"

"What you encountered has nothing to do with the city, it has to do with the ruler." Murphy pointed to himself. "The Byzantine Inquisition still hangs a wanted order against me, and my father and family are there. I will not hate a city because of certain upper-level decisions1."

"It doesn't feel good." Heisel sighed. "Hegel too. I know my brain can't understand the relationship between these things, but I understand that his pain is much deeper than mine. ."

"The revenge will only bring a moment of pleasure, and the person who takes revenge as a lifelong wish, either falls into the abyss on the road of revenge, or loses all hope after the end of everything and falls into complete confusion," Murphys seems Recalling something, "A long time ago, an old guy who liked to smoke a cigarette told me this way. At that time, I just nodded in ignorance. Now, I understand a little bit why he would rather stay in a ruined village in peace rather than realize his life. Wish."

In the carriage, Andariel, not far from Murphy, turned his eyes to the window, and looked at the words of Murphy just now, but the little girl who cares about her legs still pursed her lips.

"My teacher always said a word to me," Heysel stretched out his hand to try to straighten his beard, "he said;'You guy who is not as smart as the Northland Bear, the best thing to do is not to go Killing people on the battlefield, but teaching people.'I want to come now, I really should listen to him."

"Interesting suggestion." Murphy had never heard of a tutor telling his students the direction of life in this way. "He has many students?"

"No, the teacher is the only student in my life."

Heisel's narrowed eyes seemed to be flashing, and he took a deep breath. His strange silence seemed to be unwilling to continue on the subject.

The carriage stopped and the door was opened by Hegel. The nominal Lord of Lampard had some inexplicable entanglement. He whispered: "We walk to the chamber, Hessel..."

"Follow."

Murphy patted the large shoulder, got up and walked off the carriage, then turned his head to look at Andariel, and said to Jeanna: "Be careful."

Soul Knight let Na nod and follow the team in the other direction with Andalier who did not get out of the carriage1.

While Murphys, Hegel, and Heisel stepped towards the most central area of ​​the Balice Empire, but Hydera disappeared.

After the large and magnificent porch, the traces of countless years of cultural accumulation are displayed in front of Murphys in this royal palace. Sculptures, oil paintings, gold and silver utensils and even simple tables and chairs of different periods all show a powerful With the background behind the empire, Murphy understood that what he really is now is facing the rulers and rulers of an empire with "personality".

What should I say?

Today, Murphy is no longer like the introvert before. After all the battles and constant preparations, he has already figured out how to deal with what he may face next.

In the end, the party did not come to the Chamber where the emperor usually discussed the state with the Prime Ministers, but stopped in front of a slightly hidden room and pushed the door in, but several figures appeared directly in the field of vision.

The six swordsmen and knights in the top six of the empire, four great mages and a few unidentified characters stood on both sides, and the stars stared like a moon and a red and white robe, His Majesty Hasu, was highlighted on the throne Above, with a simple crown, pale hair, and a pure gold emblem symbolizing power, Hasselblad Mocletti appeared in front of Murphy in a very direct way.

"Here you are guests, but you may also be the enemy."

Oncoming is an extremely simple sentence that defines the nature of the conversation for both parties of the meeting.

The door behind closed, and His Majesty Hasselblad did not look down on the three people in front of him with a condescending attitude, but stretched out his hand to signal Murphys and others to sit on the armchairs that had been prepared a long time ago. Di, the current patriarch of the Mocledi family, the monarch of the Balice Empire." Hasselblad looked at Murphy, his eyes were direct and not hypocritical.

"Murpheus Windsol 1,"

Murphy did not try to overwhelm the majesty of the emperor, but continued: "It seems that you are a little disappointed. I took your two former subordinates and sat across from you, not going to give them some Explanation?"

"Explain that if it works, then there will not be so many wars in this world." Hasselblad's eyes swept over Hegel and Heysel, as if they were only trivial little characters, "As I did not ask you to give me Like the explanation of the war in the Ritchie Empire, you and I know that this is meaningless, and the purpose of my invitation to you is not to discuss some meaningless topics."

Hegel squinted silently, while Heysel looked complex, but for this majesty who had sincerely affirmed himself, he lost more heart than hatred.

"About war?"

Murphy understood that UU reading www.uukanshu.com was coming.

"In addition to war, what else can make a country's population and economic strength decline significantly within a few months?" His Majesty Hasselblad opened his arms, staring at Murphy with great oppression: "You act as The wanted criminals ordered by the heretical ruling led the war to this country, and brought inevitable disasters to my subjects, and now the empire is still in the cloud of war-and you, a kid under twenty , Can you be responsible for this?"

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, because I don't see any signs that you are responsible for it."

Murphy spread his hand and said slowly: "It's not you who drove off the aggressor, nor is it you who drove out the blood. The dead soldiers were the lords of Lord Lampard, so... you'd better not scare the political elder brother To deal with me."

"Young man, are you going to end the conversation on this?"

His Majesty Hasselblad narrowed his eyes, and the mages and guards on both sides raised their weapons at the same time—in an instant, the atmosphere of the entire conference hall dropped to freezing point!
