Chapter 362
A chilly green spread around Aurelion's body, covering her whole body, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn.
The audience was like statues frozen in place, with astonishment in their eyes.
Even August could not avoid the accumulation of an indescribable surprise in his eyes.
Necromancer?
This idea emerged in the minds of many nobles.
August frowned, and a wave of waves rose in his heart.
"How is it possible?"
Aurelion arrived in the kingdom only a few days ago, and in just a few days, she has mastered the magic of the dead?
Could it be that... she had learned the magic of the dead before?
Is this possible?
Archduke Barro has never left the kingdom, and she has never had the opportunity to contact the Archduke before...
However, although people have endless doubts about this, the facts before them cannot be refuted -
Aurelion did use the magic of the dead.
However, no one cheered or was surprised by this.
In their emotional depression, all they could find was sadness.
The only way to get rid of August's control was to become an undead.
Seeing Count Cody's body burn out and turn into a skeleton, they were left with only gloom in their hearts.
Moreover, more despair was still to come.
"Princess, please forgive me for speaking frankly."
August looked at Aurelian and persuaded her with a slightly calm tone:
"As a princess of the empire, is it inappropriate for you to interfere in the affairs of our kingdom?"
Yes, this is August's confidence.
As people of the empire, why do you want to interfere in the affairs of our Kingdom of Kant?
Even if the kingdom carries out drastic reforms and changes the entire power circle.
As a princess of the empire, you have no right to interfere.
The noble lords knew this very well.
Because Aurelian was not their savior.
She could not save the people present.
But Aurelion didn't want to give up. She stared at August, her voice elegant and firm, as if coming from another space:
"But you want to kill everyone present."
"Murder?"
August chuckled, tapping his crossed arms with his fingertips:
"They won't die, they will just transform and become my loyal subordinates, obeying my rule correctly."
Aurelian's eyes condensed slightly, and August suddenly hugged himself.
As if sighing:
"The vampires will accept all of them."
"By then, we who have completed the blood sacrifice will abandon our fragile human bodies."
"We! Will become--"
Before he finished speaking, August opened his arms, facing the scarlet full moon, and a deep dark shadow was revealed in the air.
It was like a mysterious rune, conveying his mysteriousness:
"Immortality."
Finally, August's blood-red eyes were completely filled with madness.
The thousands of blood slaves were reflected in his eyes, swinging their mechanical dance under the blood moon.
Aurelian looked at August, who had gone completely crazy, and completely lost the idea of persuading him.
August in front of him had turned into a crazy demon.
The nobles around him were even more desperate.
They wanted to resist, but the people around them were all August's trusted elite soldiers.
These elite soldiers would only absolutely protect August.
They didn't care whether August would become a vampire or become a blood slave after death.
Even if they ignored these dead soldiers who were not afraid of death.
The thousands of blood slaves who were in a frenzy were not something they could handle.
What was even more desperate was the terrifying monster that was about to be summoned by this ritual.
At this time, Aurelian also gave up, but the soul flame on her body began to sway, and the dark green light became more dazzling.
The dark green smoke rose from her feet and spread outward.
Trying to save every soul that has become a blood slave.
But...
She suddenly felt an unusual weakness, like a strong wind passing through her body, stealing her magic.
The connection between the surrounding magic and the realm of the dead completely dissipated at this moment.
The soul flame on Aurelian's body was looming and swaying, and it might be in danger of extinguishing in the next second.
At the same time, the spiritual fire on the head of the dead Count Cody became weaker and weaker.
The flame seemed to be dissipating at any time.
Aurelian tried to absorb the surrounding magic to keep the spiritual fire burning.
But the magic slowly dissipated like a lake, and she was like standing in a dead quagmire with nowhere to go.
The next second, the connection between magic and Aurelian was completelyThe soul flame on her body completely dissipated after it broke apart.
Then, her connection with magic power was completely broken, and her dark green body engulfed by the flame gradually returned to its normal state.
There was no more burning flame in her blood-red eyes.
After losing the support of the soul flame, Earl Cody's body was left with only a pile of bones, scattered messily on the ground.
Witnessing all this, Aurelian felt full of doubts.
Why, her magic power was cut off?
When she saw that August was not surprised, but looked as expected, she suddenly realized something.
"Do you know why there are so few mages in the kingdom?"
"Although it is also related to the fact that few people learn magic, the most fundamental reason is still because of this."
He clapped his hands, and a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly enveloped the entire courtyard.
Those cold elite soldiers surrounded the entire courtyard expressionlessly.
And in their hands, each of them held a seemingly inconspicuous black stone.
When seeing these stones, Aurelian's eyes widened.
"This is a specialty of our kingdom, the Forbidden Magic Stone."
August said calmly:
"Although they are rare and difficult to mine, as long as there is this thing, there will be basically no mages in the kingdom."
The soldiers put the Forbidden Magic Stone back to their waists again. August looked at Aurelian and said slowly:
"I said, Princess, we don't want to have any disputes with the Empire."
"So, your safety will definitely be guaranteed."
He turned around again and faced the crimson blood moon.
"Next, please watch from the side-"
"This grand banquet."
As soon as the voice fell, countless blood slaves knelt down and began to worship the blood moon as if they had received some orders.
Their heads kept colliding with the ground.
Even if blood splattered and bones broke continuously, they had no intention of stopping.
Blood dripped onto the ground covered by ancient runes. The lines seemed to have life, absorbing quickly and emitting brighter fluorescence.
The blood slaves dried up like dead trees, as if their lives were taken away by invisible hands.
The blood moon hanging in the sky seemed to sense the increase in magic, and its red light became brighter.
It illuminated almost every corner of the courtyard.
The eyes of many nobles were full of fear and despair, as if a more terrifying beast was devouring them.
Hilda stood in the courtyard holding Joanna, and their two thin bodies seemed particularly weak under the blood moon.
Joanna raised her head expressionlessly, looked at Hilda's solemn face, and asked:
"Sister, are we all going to die here?"
Hilda lowered her head, gently stroked Joanna's forehead, and comforted her softly:
"No, we won't die."
After that, she looked at August again.
That was the person she was most familiar with.
At this moment, she only felt deeply unfamiliar.
In a dead silence, a huge commotion broke out in the huge mansion in the distance.
And in the huge mansion in the distance, there was a deafening noise.
The roof of the house was broken by the red light, and a huge figure flew up and rushed straight to the blood moon.
Everyone looked up and widened their eyes in shock.
It was a woman with bat wings.
But her sharp teeth like a beast, and her skin that was particularly pale under the blood moon, seemed particularly creepy.
She slowly fell from the sky, and the huge bat wings almost covered half of the scarlet moon.
At this moment, August's eyes were hot, as if he saw what his heart desired:
"It's you, my queen."
"My, destined..."
Suddenly, his voice stopped.
The air seemed to solidify in an instant, and the sound of footsteps knocking on the stairs came clearly, causing a solemn silence.
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to the source of the sound.
Even Aurelian couldn't help but widen her eyes, as if she was shining with hope.
It was a man in a black windbreaker.
He put his hands in his pockets, and everyone consciously made way for him.
Until he walked into the crowd and came in front of August.
Victor's eyes first looked at the bloody figure floating in the sky, and then took in the creepy scarlet scene on the ground.
Finally, he set his eyes on August.
August also looked at Victor, his eyes slightly raised, and showed a very confident smile:
"Senator Cravener..."
"Your Majesty August."
Victor's voice sounded faintly, interrupting August's words.
"You mean, we imperial people should not interfere in the affairs of your kingdom, right?"
This sentence was exactly what August said to Aurelian just now.
And now, Victor repeated this sentence again.
Although he didn't know what Victor meant, August nodded.
"That's right, Mr. Congressman."
"Even you have no right to interfere in our kingdom."
Victor stood in front of the court, slightly closed his eyes, and said thoughtfully:
"I know."
Suddenly, a blue bird with lively feathers slowly flew down from the sky.
It entered everyone's sight, and brought a constant stream of magic power.
August's pupils shrank slightly, and he was extremely surprised.
"...Magic power? This shouldn't be. "
The magic-forbidden stone has sealed all the magic power present, which is also August's confidence when facing Victor.
But now, why does a bird made of magic appear?
"This is the natural sparrow, a special magic created by our Mage Councillor Rachel Azure."
Victor answered August's question concisely, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.
Above the sky, the blue bird suddenly raised an illusory screen.
"Hello? Um, can you hear it over there?"
In the picture, a black-haired woman in a smart dress occupied the center of the entire screen.
At this moment, she was standing in the palace, surrounded by countless imperial ministers.
The development of this moment made everyone present feel extremely confused.
What happened?
"It seems to be almost done. "
The woman slightly adjusted the screen angle and left the camera.
After she left, the figure sitting on the throne appeared in the camera.
It looked like an old man dressed in luxurious clothes, with white hair and a kind smile.
But the nobles present were stunned as if they were struck by lightning the moment they saw the kind old man.
Because, the old man in the camera, everyone present knew his identity.
'The strongest emperor of the empire - Aubrey Thor VIII.'
Even Aurelion almost blurted out:
"Father! ? "
The kind old man seemed to have heard Aurelian's voice, and smiled as he sat in his seat.
Even August was stunned. He didn't understand what Victor was going to do.
But suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the screen, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
In the palace, a warrior was tied up.
And the other nobles also noticed this.
The warrior was wearing the armor of the kingdom.
However, in this shot, it seemed that the woman at the beginning was the protagonist.
She reappeared on one side of the screen and introduced to everyone present with a smile:
"This person is called Chul. After identity confirmation, it has been confirmed that he is a warrior from your Kant Kingdom."
"He, before, sneaked into our territory and attempted to assassinate me. Now he has been arrested and tortured. "
Hearing this, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.
In such matters, the Empire would hardly lie, and there was no need to lie about this matter.
As long as one is willing to check, the identity of the warrior on the screen can be found out.
And on that screen, even the emperor of the Empire has appeared.
Obviously, with the emperor's endorsement, this matter cannot be faked.
But what makes them more curious is the woman who claims to have been assassinated by him.
Who is she?
"Sorry, I almost forgot to introduce myself."
Suddenly, the woman's voice sounded.
On her beautiful face, a charming smile appeared.
But it made everyone present silent:
"I am Leah Kravenna, Victor Kravenna's..."
"Family. "
Beep——
The screen shrank instantly and the sound stopped abruptly.
Everything around seemed to be frozen by these cold words, and the coldness climbed up the backs of every noble lord.
Similarly, even August turned his head with difficulty and looked at the expressionless man.
Only Victor's voice sounded, like the death knell, which was slowly ringing:
"Now."
"We should settle the old accounts."
