I, the Lord of the End

Chapter 133, The Upstart Empire

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

It wasn't until Sid came out of the cave to the outside world that he realized that he had been sitting in the cave for seven full days!

Moltke has long since disappeared. His family was taken to the church for testing because of his troubles. Moltke's father was forced to retire, and the future of his brothers was also affected. Fortunately, the Ravenman couldn't deny the past. It is impossible to determine whether Moltke has degenerated or was transferred in advance by Baixu Sect, so this matter is enough.

The dignitaries of the Dark Crow City and the common people of the church are already discussing the matter of erecting a bronze statue for Master Erebus. The people in the city have generously donated their money, and have raised thousands of gold crowns.

The Raven Man will still remember the kindness of others. If it is in the wolf, this kind of thing is impossible. One is because he has no money, and the other is because the wolf man will not erect statues for outsiders.

Sid has temporarily sealed up the identity of Master Erebus. If it is not necessary, he does not plan to use it again. This is an identity that is easy to attract the attention of the government and the church. Before his fame was only spread in the countryside. The War of the Raven Afterwards, the deeds of Master Erebus have spread throughout the Principality.

He took out the Holy Grail of Sin and Nightmare from his arms, and the strong smell of the sea penetrated into Sid's nostrils. He shook his head and put the cup away.

Positioning is changing again.

Sid decided to ignore the positioning for the time being. There is no doubt that the location of the host is changing rapidly. If the host is always moving, then Sid will continue to circle around. The Realm Artifact has not only one host, but a total of six!

It wouldn't make sense for him to spend like this, Moltke also escaped, and he wanted to change his plan.

Sid immediately set two goals for himself in the near future:
First of all, he must consolidate and strengthen his existing strength.

Sid is already very strong now, but Cecilia still leaves a lot of space for him. For now, Sid is only able to use the Falling Leaf Flashback Specialty, which he has not yet mastered. It's just at the beginning stage, and it's hard to say that you are proficient in the way of sword soul and the shadow of judgment.

After really tasting the sap of a strong man of the Destiny Rank, Sid became more and more aware that his actual combat experience and spiritual sharpening were far from enough. Now Sid is like a high school student with excellent grades and high quality. Moreover, the great priest Cecilia has even taught him a full set of university textbooks, postgraduate textbooks, scientific research data, and the skills of publishing SCI papers. If he doesn't take this opportunity to enrich and improve himself, when will he wait?
Second, Sid also had to deal with his own financial problems.

He is running out of money.

When he came to Bad Wolf from Rezlan, he brought his own savings plus the bonus of Samir’s mission, about 500 gold ecu. The deposits on the body were spent completely.

Later, Sid received an advance payment of 5000 gold angstroms and 1500 from Celeste. The money was paid in the form of dragon blood crystals, which made Sid's pocket much more comfortable. However, after returning from Cogne Castle, Sid In order to change jobs as an Assassin Executioner, a large amount of Void Currency was consumed, and the dragon blood crystals were exhausted. Afterwards, Sid had no more income and no more expenses.

Whitney and Fogg will pay an additional commission of 500 gold crowns for joining the princess, which means that Celeste still has 4000 gold crowns that have not been settled, and neither Whitney nor Fogg want this money. , Sid didn't plan to ask for the final payment, because if he wanted to get the final payment at that time, he would never have the chance to leave Wolfsburg safely, and the twin silver wolves on his waist and the liquidation of Earl Mecklen's affairs were already rich rewards up.

Sid is very content, he has got too much from the high priest.

It's just that he still has more than 100 gold crowns left on him. If Sid does not need to improve, this money is completely enough for him personally.

But to build an organization and continue to track down the third artifact, Sid needs funds, a lot of funds!Even Jin Aiju is not enough, he needs a lot of virtual currency, because once the strength reaches the fourth hero level, every step of progress needs a lot of virtual crystals, for example, Sid learns the way of sword and soul to judge The Void Currency consumed by special skills such as the gift of the shadow, the release, etc., is all paid by the great priest.

Now that the great priest is not here, he wants to go out by himself.

The need for this kind of virtual realm crystallization will reach the apex when reaching the legendary peak and hitting the destiny. The virtual realm crystallization required for each impact on the destiny rank is an astronomical figure, otherwise Sir Yehir would not go bankrupt and choose after several failed shocks. Take the risk.

The consumption of fighters is already extremely terrifying, while the consumption of wizards is much greater.

Sid took out the Void Core Crystal of the Vortex Beast from his bosom, which was an irregular colorful crystal larger than his fist, which contained powerful power and the dying will of the Vortex Beast.

As long as you purify the Void Crystal, you can get God Gold.

God Gold is considered to be the ultimate answer to the world and the end of all things - a pure, high-purity energy crystal without any side effects.

If it is in Rizlan, the core of the vortex beast in Sid's hands can be purified into 5-10 god gold coins, which can be converted to about 1000-3000 gold ecu (the exchange rate of god gold fluctuates greatly).

But this is the Holy Empire, and the fire consumption here is very serious. Sid guessed that if he took this vortex beast core to the temple to exchange, the Church of Heaven would give him 3 god gold or 700 gold ecu, so he laughed.

But Sid has no other choice, he can only put away this core crystal first, hoping to find a place with a more reasonable price.

What to do now is to continue his penance!
He must continue to improve his strength and master what Cecilia taught him. Sid has a strong premonition that even if he is the real master of the third Void Realm Artifact, those hosts will definitely not willingly give it to him. Give things to yourself.

Strength is king!

Thus, while Master Erebus disappeared in the Raven Duchy, an upstart empire appeared in the Raven Duchy to announce his rise!

Backed by the great priest's epic battle against the Lord of Hell, and taking advantage of the sensation caused by Master Erebus' death in battle and the cult of worship, Sid's appearance did not attract the attention of the Ravenman, which made him get Excellent development opportunity.

When the disciple under the crown of the great priest smashed all the bandit strongholds in the Black Forest with his own power and killed more than 800 forest bandits, large and small, the Ravenman realized Sid's coming.

But when the Raven Man wanted to find him, the "Punisher" disappeared again, leaving behind a ransacked bandit den and corpses all over the floor.

Only the legend of Sid the Punisher remained in the Raven Principality.

Sid has new nicknames "Devil Slayer", "Bandit Nightmare", and "Empire Upstart". Together with his title of Punisher, it gradually spread in the eastern part of the Holy Empire.

And as time passed, the revelation of the Holy Grail of Nightmare gradually did not change, and it began to point north repeatedly.

North of Raven Principality.

There is the Principality of Stag, which is about to hold a major celebration.

……… I am the dividing line all the way to the north………

Holy Empire Calendar 5018, February, the outskirts of the central dynasty of the Holy Empire, the Noble Sanatorium, afternoon.

Shaq, the former supreme mentor of the Assassins of the Holy Empire, was still sitting beside the rocking chair in that half-dead state. He was covered with a woolen jacket, and his stomach and legs were covered with blankets. Rocking chair rocking body.

Since returning to the nursing home, Shaq the Hidden Ghost has returned to this lazy state. Most of the time, he doesn't even move for a whole day, just sitting like this, half asleep and half awake, occasionally chatting with others, In fact, if a junior from the Assassin Court comes to the door, he will give some advice.

Shaq the Hidden Ghost didn't plan to go out at first, if it wasn't for Cecilia and Joseph's calling, he really planned to spend the last days of his life in the nursing home.

Only today the situation is slightly different.

Shaq shook and shook, but the flame in the fireplace in front of him suddenly flickered on and off. The former Grand Master of the Assassin Chamber then took a copper hand and reached into the fire to fiddle with the charcoal fire. The flame immediately tightened, revealing a human face.

This face is ordinary, there is almost no feature worth remembering, the only possibility for a normal person after seeing this face is to forget it, only his eyes are shining with golden light, even the flames can't cover up those eyes Eye.

"You are still so leisurely, Shaq." The face made of flames said with a smile.

Hidden Ghost Shaq slowly stood up from his seat, his brows were tightly frowned: "Samir?"

"Yes, it's me. I'm here to ask you something." The flame face nodded: "You know what I'm going to ask."

"I know what you are going to ask, so you must know what I will answer." Shaq the Hidden Ghost shook his head: "As you can see, the second seal has been opened, and our Lord of Heaven should not be able to sit still at this time." Is it on his throne?"

"The opening of the second seal is not surprising. Unless the fourth seal is reached, the gods of heaven will not necessarily intervene in the mortal world by themselves. This will make them, especially him, pay a huge price." Flame Face After thinking for a long time, he said, "So, I think we can add fire."

"That's your business, not mine." Shaq shook his head: "I've already told you what I know, the second seal, Cecilia, and her new disciple."

"How stupid, human beings." The flame face chuckled and said: "Every race is preparing to retreat, the dwarves' plan for the Ark of Tomorrow, the light elves' plan for the ascension of light spirits and the stars plan, the dark elves' plan for the dark sanctuary, the angels The Heaven's Gate plan, only the gods of heaven that humans firmly believe in have nothing prepared."

"It was impossible for them to escape." Shaq still shook his head: "Just like me."

"... Shaq, you are dying, I think I can help you." The expression on the face of the flame gradually became sad.

"Shaq died a long time ago in the expedition to hell. Together with his best friend and his fiancée, Ackerman was supposed to be my witness." Shaq slowly leaned on the back of the rocking chair On: "That's all for today, I'm tired, if there is any news later, we'll get in touch again."

"Take care, my friend." The flame face seemed to want to say something but seeing that Shaq had closed his eyes, he could only nod: "Goodbye."

A flame flickered in the fireplace, and the room returned to calm.

A memory that Shaq didn't want to recall flashed through his mind, his arms suddenly tensed, his veins popped out, and polite words blurted out from his mouth.

"Jupiter, I love you mua so much!"

At the same time that the Supreme Master of the former Assassin Court of the Holy Empire was greeting politely in the sanatorium in the suburbs, the palace of the Holy Empire was another scene.

At the door of the emperor's bedroom, under the guidance of the attendants, Celestia, the imperial princess, knelt on the soft cushion at the door, waiting for her father to get up.

After a series of events, Celesty's temperament has undergone a huge change. Her silvery white and smooth hair is only tied up at the temples with purple ribbons, falling down from the back of her head, and her pretty face is as white as an oval egg. Zhe's delicate, deep and cold amethyst eyes are as deep as the sea, exuding a huge sense of oppression that is inaccessible to strangers, without anger and prestige.

At this time, she was wearing the most standard military uniform of the Black Vulture Queen of the Holy Empire, and the round and plump Parcel Man standing proudly in the clothes stood tall, pushing up the buttons on her chest. Even the most formal military uniform of the Imperial Princess could not conceal her Proud figure.

A pair of white and slender beautiful legs under the military uniform hip-covering skirt are wearing ultra-thin gray stockings, which outlines the shapely and sexy style of the legs. The legs wrapped in gray silk are smooth and delicate, and the slender calves are well-proportioned and firm, and the gray stockings are constantly shining through the gray stockings. With a seductive luster, she was wearing a pair of deep red strappy high-heeled high heels with side cutouts on her silk feet. With the princess's height of about 170cm, she looked even more glamorous.

Thin ribbons are wrapped around the beautiful gray silk feet. The entire instep is smooth and tender, and there is a special charm against the stockings. The sound of "da da da" made by the high heels when the slender legs are walking attracts the young and vigorous emperor The servants couldn't help staring at the princess's body, unwilling to move away.

However, after Celeste's icy cold eyes swept across, these young servants all felt a chill from below, and they clamped their legs unconsciously, and they didn't dare to look around again.

Celeste had only allowed Sid to look at her that way, and he wasn't here now.

"Please wait a moment, Your Highness, there are still a few minutes before the wake-up time stipulated by His Majesty." A servant came to the emperor and asked her to get up: "You don't have to keep kneeling like this."

"Yes." Celeste got up from the ground, and the Imperial Princess wanted to say something when she saw the servant, and immediately aimed her unkind eyes at this guy: "What's the matter?"

"I want to ask Your Highness about Sid the Punisher." The attendant swallowed his saliva seeing the embarrassment on the princess's face, but continued: "I am friends with him."

friend?How could Sid have friends in Holy White City?Celeste frowned immediately, but a name emerged in her mind.

"Istvan von Holstein?" Celeste remembered the experience Sid told her: "Have you come to the palace as a servant?"

"It's me." The attendant smiled awkwardly, but said seriously: "I have also heard about the great achievements of Mr. Sid and you. I want to ask, is he okay?"

It turned out to be Sid's friend!

Sid's friends are my friends!
Celesty's attitude immediately turned 180 degrees, and the princess' iceberg-like glamorous beauty thawed out, and she said wistfully, "He's very good, better than you can imagine."

"?" Istvan didn't understand what the princess was saying, and the servants around were envious because Istvan was able to talk to the princess.

The experience of the son of Gustav II, Marshal of the White Horse Legion, a great aristocrat of the Holy Empire, was very sad. When he returned home as a deserter, he naturally couldn't hide it from his father who was like a military god. He was arrested and beaten dozens of times. More than 200 whips were taken.

Istvan was particularly hard-headed this time, he was beaten to a bloody body and remained silent until his father asked him why he still had the face to come back, he said unceremoniously: "This is my home, why can't I come back? Your surname is Holstein, isn't my surname Holstein?"

This sentence moved Gustav II, so he let him go. After Istvan recovered from his injury, he sold all his original collections at a low price and joined the army, eating with ordinary white horse soldiers. Live together to restart his military career.

He became very hard, very hard, and he took every opportunity to improve himself, like someone was pushing him from behind.

Although it was a little late for him to start working hard, the reputation of the marshal's son spread, and the emperor appreciated it very much when he heard about it, and recruited him to be his valet.

Just as Istvan wanted to talk to Celeste, a bell rang from the palace, and he had no choice but to take a step back: "Your Highness, Your Majesty told you that you can go in directly when the time comes."

The attendants opened the door from both sides, and Celeste said to the maid behind her, "You wait for me here."

The imperial maid's maid is also a beautiful woman. She has dark golden long curly hair, and on her sexy and plump body is wearing a long standard court black and white maid skirt and black suspender stockings with maid standard black lace high heels. Her small and delicate face is slightly She was pale, wearing a white ribbon scarf on her head. Facing the gradually opening inner door, she showed a look of panic, her hands were lowered, her legs were crossed, and she stepped back subconsciously.

This is a woman who can arouse the greatest desire for protection. She is only 20 years old this year.

"Who is this?" Istvan still wanted to ask as usual.

"Oh, her name is Bertio Cruz, and she is the widow of Angelo Supreme Master who died in this mission. Angelo Grand Master died because of me, so I took her by my side as my Maid." Since she is Sid's friend, the princess explained one more sentence: "Otherwise, she would have to be kicked out. Master Angelo signed more than 80 personal financial statements before his death. Even his widow, except for her Nothing but a small bag of gold coins."

"Your Highness is really a kind person." Ishtwan smiled agreeably: "Please come in, Your Highness, and don't keep His Majesty waiting."

Celestia stepped into the inner room, and the existence she once regarded as her belief and idol was sitting on the bed and looking at her.

"My daughter, are you here?"

"Yes, Father!"
