Section 27 The Holy Grail (8)
After the Bishop said goodbye to Her Majesty the Queen in a frustration, Mrs. Longbal walked out-of-one cup could not be held for that long, but she had to give the Archbishop some face. ()
"Don't be so obvious." Her Majesty the Queen glanced at her smiling accomplices: "Langbar our Archbishop is not as failure as you think." She was very happy that Lady Langbar not only brought new cups but also new hot black tea: "As early forty years ago, he began to complain to me and Prince Langbar about the old guys in the state religion who held the holy things and did not let go - just like a politician who always tried his best to fight for every power and seat that could be obtained for his party. A priest who dedicated his soul and body to the sage will also hope that his sect can become a political group with actual power in some way, not just a party and royal family's microphone and decoration."
But such thoughts have been greatly suppressed in the national religion. The older generation of monks looked at the holy objects as if a dragon was guarding their gold coins and gems. The ideas of some people in the government coincided with them. Perhaps it is the best for those who are timid even if the world three inches away from them has turned upside down.
"Ambition?" Mrs. Langbaer commented attentively poured a cup of fresh black tea for Her Majesty: "Then will he cry to the old monks of the National Church?" She shook her head incredibly and trembled because of her imagination.
"He will cry loudly." Her Majesty said, "It depends on the actions of the State Church now." This is Alex's assurance and demands... and "Mrs. Longbal's document on Annado..."
"Oh yes, I found it." The Langbar family has always served as the heraldic officers and clerks of previous kings. They have collected all the important documents for the royal family, except for the Carlos family. Because the Langbar family supported the Ferdinand family a few years ago, the Carlos family has not handed over the relevant documents to the Langbar family since then. This is of course.
In the database with constant temperature and humidity, various documents and deeds are piled up like mountains and where they can touch those things except the king and the crown prince.
"But this should have expired... under the current laws and systems." Mrs. Langbaer took out an alloy tube from the small bag she carried with her. It looked like it was just created yesterday. Because it had been very careful and carefully preserved in the past, it was not even younger than those medieval cultural relics preserved by Sardinia and even the world's museums. If you are careful and knowledgeable enough, you can still see the clues from the fine patterns and the deep black marks inlaid in the patterns.
Like the documents inside it, it is a cultural relic of great research value, but only in this way, the documents signed in the 13th century have lost their possibility of applying them to the real world.
"Who knows, but since he wrote to ask for it, it must be his use. OK..." Her Majesty the Queen fiddled with her for nonchalantly and returned it to Mrs. Longbal: "Send it to Alex."
Her Majesty the Queen of Sardinia said in the doting tone that noble lady used to her only son. And as we know, this attitude often produces some arrogant, cruel and sinister little bastards.

"Arrogant, cruel and insidious little bastard" received this precious ancient document that night.
Alex gently stroked the surface of the cylinder. This thing made him feel familiar and nostalgic. It was not as simple as the surface looked. In addition to both ends, there were three cylinders that could be rotated. However, due to the pattern, the gaps at the joints were perfectly hidden. If a guy rashly scraped off the sealing paint. He turned one end of the cylinder to peek into the secret inside, the small thorn would quietly come out without the control of the small pressing spring. This small thorn would naturally be poisonous to the opener's palm. This change would not only seize the life of the illegal opener, but also cause the cylinder to be unable to open even if it was used with the correct method - unless the second set of correct methods were used.
This can only be said that the elementary mechanical technique of course cannot stop Alex Wilderger. Watching him turn, pull, turn, and put it away... and then pull out a tightly-clad parchment paper document from the cylinder. It is tied with purple-red webbing. After undead, the undead can be untied and put it in his own pocket - it has not been decayed for hundreds of years. It is worth studying - Alex's clothes, like Wilderger, also need to be specially made. The latter requires a pistol. The former requires a variety of spell casting materials that can be easily cast.
Alex stripped the seal and slowly unfolded the document. Wilderger eagerly came forward to read it together.
He saw that the dark purple paper was densely painted with golden and silver flowers.
"Very exquisite..." Alex said softly, his fingers nostalgically stroking the smooth and soft paper: "From Tokaki, one of the finest vo111um (cleft paper) it replaces papyrus."
"It sounds similar to "vea1" (veal)" The Necromancer, who finally got rid of his illiterate identity under the pressure of inhumanity, touched his chin: "A kind of calf, little sheep or hill
The best paper made from the Middle Ages - the Bibles were basically copied on this piece of paper, unlike the one made of the above materials.
”And it is entangled with very strong negative energy.
"It's just a procedure to borrow velvet paper." The undead sighed happily: "This is human skin. It's skin. It's done perfectly with peeling, soaking, scraping, drying, stretching and shaping. Centuries ago, the murderer was executed and he had to be dissected to see how he was different from others. The use of dissected skins to make various objects, especially human skins, represents the most severe punishment. But some of the deceased themselves require that the will requires the skin to be intercepted on his body and made into the cover of the book or the patient's skeleton limbs and unclaimed limbs.
"He stroked the paper again: "But this is indeed a bit special because this skin is still alive." Alex pinched his nails and immediately a white mark appeared there for a long time before slowly disappearing. It seemed that the dark purple color was not dyed but was still stuck under the skin that was no longer fresh. "It was just to enhance the effectiveness of this deed. At that time, when the magic wizard, the undead vampire, shaman, and pagans could still fill the palace and the imperial banquet. This was a common method."
"That was an era worth remembering." A low and melancholy voice continued.
The blood clan who once lost heavily in the hands of the undead, who controlled the entire dark world of Feilongcui City-state appeared in the air, and he was dressed neatly than when he met last time. He bowed slightly to Alex and Alex returned to the wizard ceremony.
"The outfit and etiquette worth remembering." Fei Lengcui's blood clan stared for a short moment and then turned his eyes. No mage would like to be watched by someone else or non-human for a long time. However, this hood that was enough to cover the upper half of the face was enough to cover the gray-black robe. The wide sleeves of the hands were hugged tightly and tightly tied around the waist. After several rounds, the soft cowhide bottom slippers really reminded the undead on this plane of the plane that had been a long time ago.
"Then" Alex nodded to Wilderger after the blood clan gently landed beside him: "Let's start now."
Wilderger nodded and walked into the cabin.
They are now located in the dark sea. The waves formed a long thin line that could not be seen into the source and end in the darkness, and the moonlight plated it with silver. This belongs to the inland sea in the southwest of Sardinia and the territory of Annado - a lonely island is like a giant dome with a demon floating in a corner of the sea, even human eyes can clearly see its gray sand beach.
Eleven humans were taken out of the cabin and gathered on the large deck of the yacht. They were all adults, men, women, young and old, and different expressions but their clothes were neat and decent.
When receiving a hint from Wilderger, a charming young female human was the first to report her full name.
“Margaret Alexandrena Hildo Ingrid…”
Then they reported their full names one by one.
“Rancisco Verde Paulalleo Cadio…”
"Julianna Louise Emmary William Minna..."
slightly……
Finally, the dark ruler of Pyrectus reported the full name Alex used when he was a living person and opened the scroll of velvet paper: "I wish to, in my personal name, the noble and respectful descendants of Pedro de Alcantara Orlos, the noble and respectful successor of Her Majesty Queen Maria Isa Ferdinand, her appointed authorized persons, asked you to establish a temporary court as you did for your ancestors."
"Who is the person who is accused?" Fei Leng Cui's blood clan asked in a deep voice.
"Delces Annado and his family have violated their oaths," said Alex calmly. "In the 9th century, the signatories of this contract were King Pedrod Alcantara Ánlos Sardinia and his minister Earl Annado, who swore to the former, 'I will keep my oath and be loyal forever: in the name of God, in the testimony of all men, I swear to him (the Lord) with true sincerity and true righteousness. I will love everything he loves according to God's law and the order of the universe. I will never do anything that upsets him and say unhappy words to him."
"And Dela Marces Annado and his family rejected the obligations of a vassal to his lord against the faithful faith that a loyal minister should obey - he had made good friends with Sardin's enemies and his direct line attacked Pedrole Cantala Orlos' direct line - all the facts are before you now, please come and witness his perverse as your ancestors have witnessed Del Ces Annado's loyalty."
The girl who said the undead was the first to report her name and smiled and said, "I witness."
Others also said one by one: "I witness."
Except for the serious expression but did not refuse to witness the earthly feud, people looked relaxed, as if they thought it was just a strange game. Obviously, they did not show their own souls. When they said "I witness", they left a clear mark. The undead naturally would not remind them that the despised language is a major feature of humans in this plane.
The rules of the earth in the underworld do not understand what it means to be a ignorant of the unawareness.
"The Law of God and the Order of the Universe" God's law is too general, it can be said that it is a random bug in and out of the modification, and the order of the universe is too severe - as long as this plane is not destroyed in chaos, this oath will continue - this is precisely why Alex found these twelve witnesses through Torrell's spell: it is indispensable for the witnesses of the oath to be the judges of the oath to complete the subsequent things.
The only thing I didn't expect was that one of them was the Fei Lengcui Blood Clan who had met once and was threatened and extorted by the lich extremely viciously - but just look at Sardin's aristocratic genealogy and you can get a good explanation. It can almost include all the ancient surnames that are still prominent and declining now.
"At this point I am the heir of Her Majesty Maria Isa Dinand, the noble and respectful queen, I declare..." Alex recited clearly and steadily the shadow under the hood, which made him smile look cold: "Reclaim all the privileges and rights that His Majesty Pedrole Cantala Orlos Sardinian have given to the Annado family, and the corresponding certificates. Reclaim all the leases given to the Annado family, as well as your fiefs, fiefs, territory, land and estates..."
The blood clan from Fei Lengcui raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly. The sky, earth, oceans and islands are changing, but they are simply elusive because it is omnipresent and omnipotent.
The deed of the cold sea breeze driving humans into the cabin was burning in Alex's hands and twisting, quickly turning into bright red ashes as they were still flashing as they floated into the dark sea water.
"When?" the blood clan asked with a complicated expression, surprised, sad and lost... and a little gloating was more greed - the knowledge lost hundreds of years ago, even the Annado family had long forgotten the power of the contract... However, if this Sardinian crown prince was just an ordinary human, things would have evolved to this point - at least he could not find the descendants of the original twelve witnesses, even if he found it, he could not drive this magic contract. It seemed that using magic to sign the contract was still Annado's request, maybe he was still a human at that time, and he was worried that the most noble man would go back on his word, but he did not expect that this move would be digging a grave for himself nearly a thousand years later.
"When the sun rises." All the changes reclaimed the land that the soul from the planet may be Alex's original soul and he was imprisoned on the bronze ring. It was the little finger of the undead. It might be Her Majesty's authorization, but whatever the reason Annado's former territory will obey Alex's orders.
This means that the lonely island will expel the exclusion and assimilation of all things Alex ordered it to expel the exclusion and assimilation of...
Annado has been operating for thousands of years - his fundamental power, wealth, and children... Almost all parts of this world are divided by the Thirteen clans (except Nofele). Poor De asked him to live in the sewer with his own tribe with his heavy packages with his tribesmen? (He didn't know that Nofele didn't even have to stay in the sewer soon)
Almost all of them are here. Fei Lengcui's blood clan could not imagine what would happen if he was suddenly driven out of his underwater castle one day... Fortunately, that area was bought by himself - thanks to the merchant's instinct! He told himself that he must hide the land deed after he went back.
"Do you want to plead for them?"
"Oh no." The Vampire denied: "I'm just wondering why you didn't warn the Annado family to make them loyal to you? I think he should already know his stupidity."
"I don't need their loyalty." The undead, who can call upon countless undead slaves at any time, said indifferently: "And I am not willing to let the Old Testament Church expose this island in broad daylight one day so that Sardinia will be the best target of the Third Holy War." Especially when I was the crown prince of Sardinia.
"Annado could not do this." The blood clan retorted: "Dedicate his entire family to the Holy See as a sacrifice? Impossible?"
"I thought the blood clan knew what 'slavery' was." The undead smiled and said, "A coward has the right to choose a command? - I gave the drawings of the Necrotic Transformation Array. The Annado family was the first to get it. But have they used it? But as far as I know, Fei Leng Cui has at least 2 places." He deliberately said less.
In fact, it is 3~The dark ruler of Feilencui thought proudly: "But do you not consider the people of Sardinia? If Annado..."
"What does Sardinian's nation have to do with me?"
The Undead replied in a sweet and low voice unique to the Sallyieri family: "The only mistake of the Annado family is that they should not choose to be enemies of me."
He slowly inserted Bai Yan's hands into his wide sleeves and bowed slightly to the blood clan into the cabin.

Not counting in the word count - please repeat with me - the Lich is an arrogant, cruel and insidious little bastard... (To be continued)
