The Singing Hall of Beleon was the most famous music center in the old world. It was located in a small protrusion in the south of the city and was surrounded by a beautiful garden. The circular building was made of white stone and had a great auditorium with perfect acoustics. Minstrels were arranged to perform 24 hours a day, even in the midst of war.
The duke himself was the biggest patron of all the minstrels and singers in the kingdom. He was an excellent connoisseur of poetry and music protector. When he was not at war, his greatest hobby was to listen to the minstrels and singers sing in the Singing Hall. The duke himself always praised the songs of elopement, infidelity, and incestuousness, and paid them a lot of money. Therefore, there had always been a rumor in the duchy that the duke himself longed for infidelity. The nobles in the duchy all hoped that this rumor was not true, but they were also afraid that it would come true.
Inside the singing hall, a large number of nobles were watching the bard's performance on the stage. On the high garden terrace, the knights of the duke's family and his family gathered together to watch the wonderful opera.
Theodorick had a rough face, white hair, and white beard. He held the railing and cheered loudly. The minstrels on the stage were singing the story of a countess eloping with a duke's illegitimate son. The boldness of the story frightened many nobles and knights, but seeing the duke himself so happy, they could not say anything and could only smile.
Behind the white stone fence, Theodoric's granddaughter Fiona said to the young knight Matthew Bard, "Matthew Bard, you're really lucky. You've just arrived in Belleon and you're already able to see such a high-level performance."
"Yes, yes, yes. Isn't this all thanks to Miss Fiona's glory?" Matthew Bard was very tactful and flattered. The young knight stood behind Fiona respectfully like a servant.
The duke's granddaughter was very proud. She thought that Matthew Bard, a legendary knight, was just so-so. How could he not be respectful in front of her?
Fiona also wanted to give Matthew Bard some benefits. The girl had a good impression of this young and handsome knight, so she continued, "After the concert, if I am in a good mood, I can introduce you to my grandpa."
"Sigh! Good, good, good! "Matthew Bad looked very happy. He bowed even lower.
Before the bard's song was over, a guard trotted to Duke Theodoric's side. "My Duke, Her Highness Morgiana is here."
Theodoric's smile froze, and the duke's expression turned serious. "Where is she?"
"She's already on her way in. She'll be here in at most two minutes." The attendant whispered.
Theodoric nodded and gestured for him to leave. The duke himself knew what Morgiana was here for, so he signaled all the knights to get ready to welcome the arrival of the Lake Goddess. "Attention, everyone. Her Highness Morgiana is here."
On the garden stage, all the nobles stood and waited for Morgiana's arrival.
Morgianna had a rune sword on her waist and a holy grail in her hand. She walked in with her head held high. Unlike usual, Morgianna did not use magic to float in the air. Instead, she walked in with big strides on her white boots. The nobles were all shocked by Morgianna's beauty and cold temperament. They all greeted her.
Morgiana did not pay any attention to them. She walked to the duke and whispered to him. Apparently, the Lake Goddess did not like the explicit and indulgent songs in the hall. She did not want to stay for long.
"I understand, Your Highness Morgiana. Since Bereon has just gone through a war, the overdue taxes will be sent to the cathedral in Carcassonne soon." Theodoric nodded.
Morgiana nodded. The Lake Goddess thought that her mission in the duchy of Bereon had been completed. She turned around and looked at the brightly lit hall and the singing bards. She was about to leave.
But suddenly, a servant covered in blood rushed in from outside. He clutched his chest. There was a huge hole in his armor, revealing his white bones and internal organs. "Duke … Your Highness."
"Aaaaaah!" The appearance of this servant instantly caused panic among the nobles. The noblewomen screamed and lifted their skirts, while the knights all held the swords at their waists. "What happened?"
"It's … it's the vampires! It's the vampire count's army! There are so many undead! Hordes of ghouls, zombies, and blood-sucking beasts are attacking the city! " The servant clutched his chest and knelt on the ground. He did not care about the blood that was flowing out of his body. "They are coming here, my Duke!"
"What?!" Theodoric's and Morgiana's expressions changed drastically. The duke himself immediately rushed to the side of the garden terrace.
The whole city was crying. Smoke was billowing from the houses. The ghouls, zombies, and blood-sucking beasts were wreaking havoc on the prosperous streets. Although there were not many of these monsters, the civilians in the city could not resist. They were all killed. Cries, screams, and cries for help rang throughout the city.
Under the dark sky, groups of blood-sucking bats flew across the city, leaving behind only wounds and blood.
As the capital of the Duchy, Bereon naturally had the largest number of guards and knights. The knights had reacted quickly after being ambushed by the vampires. The bats could easily defeat the foot soldiers, but it was useless against the fully armed knights.
"Bring me my battle axe!" Theodorick's eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw his territory and city being invaded by the vampires. He turned to his attendant and shouted, "I'm going out to meet the enemy myself!"
What answered him was a head that rolled down from the garden.
It was at least four meters tall, and its entire body was dark red. It had two strong forelimbs and sharp claws. Its long brown mane extended all the way to its tail. Its pig face revealed huge sharp teeth, and green saliva was constantly dripping from its mouth. With a sweep of its sharp claws, three guards were sliced into pieces, and their blood stained the steps.
It was the Bloodthirsty Batwolf! The only two legendary creatures that the vampires could summon!
"Ahhhhhh!" The noblewomen in the garden screamed at the same time. The noblewomen of the Knight King's Kingdom had learned to ride horses and use lances since they were young, but they had never seen such a terrifying creature before.
"Ahhhh!" The Bloodthirsty Batwolf roared and jumped down from the tower. It crashed into the crowd like a cannonball, and then rushed straight towards Morgiana.
The Lake Goddess Witch immediately drew her sword. Morgiana was shocked. She did not sense such a powerful summoning spell. This meant that the opponent was stronger than her. That meant that the opponent was a high-level Saint-level necromancer that was close to becoming a demigod!
The situation was urgent. The Lake Goddess Witch did not have time to chant a spell. She had just raised her rune sword when the Bloodthirsty Batwolf's claws swept in front of Morgiana. There was a burning and nauseating stench in the air.
Morgiana was the Chosen Witch of the Sanctuary and the spokesperson of the Lake Fairy. However, she did not have the powerful wrist strength of the Bloodthirsty Batwolf, nor was she good at close combat. Just as the Bloodthirsty Batwolf's claws were about to touch Morgiana's beautiful face, the golden belt inlaid with diamonds on her gray dress flashed and formed a golden shield. The Bloodthirsty Batwolf's claws could not break the shield, but Morgiana was also sent flying by the huge force contained in the shield. She hit a huge stone pillar and fell down with it.
The performance was interrupted, and the entire concert hall was plunged into chaos. The noble knights immediately reacted to the situation, and these experienced soldiers rushed forward to stop the Bloodthirsty Batwolves. "Protect Her Highness, Princess Morgiana! Protect His Highness the Duke! "
Theodoric took his own battle axe from the hands of the family knight. With a swing of the axe, the Duke left a long gash on the right arm of the bloodthirsty batwolf. "Attendants, don't be afraid!" Cover Her Highness Morgiana and the other noble ladies and ladies to retreat to a safe place. Leave this to me! "
Matthew Bard also pulled out his sword and stood in front of Fiona. "Miss Fiona, let's retreat!"
The Duke's granddaughter was scared out of her wits. She could not move her legs as if they were filled with lead. Her little face was pale. She stammered, "But where should we go?"
Matthew Bard pointed to a place where there was no black smoke. "Let's go there. That's the library. There are many guards there. It should be safe!"
"Okay!" Fiona rushed to the library with Matthew Bard. On the way, they encountered a group of ghouls and vampires. They roared and rushed towards them. Matthew Bard stood in front of Fiona and said, "Run! Miss Fiona, I'll stop them! "
"You must stop them! Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson! "Fiona screamed and ran in the opposite direction of the library without looking back.
The city was in chaos. Flames and smoke were everywhere.
Braon Castle was, after all, the capital of the duchy. A large number of knights, squires, and even more squires were stationed here. After the undead creatures left a painful memory in the city, they were finally annihilated by the knights. Theodoric personally took the head of the bloodthirsty batwolf. This legendary beast could not escape death under the siege of a large number of knights and the duke. Morgiana, who was a little embarrassed, used spells to burn the bodies of the undead creatures. She then told Theodoric to plough the polluted land with the salt that she had blessed. The Lake Goddess witch seemed to have something on her mind. She left that very night.
This night was called the Night of Blood.
Only a few people knew that an ancient book was missing from the library of the Duchy of Bereon the next day.
The fourth volume of Nagash.
At the same time, Matthew Bard disappeared. Fiona did not wait for him to come back, nor did she find his body.
… …
Four o 'clock in the morning, Brittany, Winford Duchy, Baron Zeon's Barony Castle, Laing.
On the bed in the master bedroom, Dark Elf Olica and Laing were sleeping in each other's arms. The dark elf's face was flushed, and she was still a little tired. She leaned on Laing's chest and slept soundly.
Since Veronica's arrival, Olica and Veronica had started a shift system. The witch had been busy gathering people to build her wizard tower, so naturally, Olica spent most of her time with Leon.
Laing gently opened his eyes. He had received a psionic communication.
Laing got up and helped Olica tidy up the bed. He kissed the dark elf's face gently, changed his clothes, and walked to the balcony. He looked at the bright moonlight and stretched. "Ah, why do you always wake me up in the middle of the night?"
"It seems like something big is happening in this world," Laing complained. During this period of time, his territory was peaceful and peaceful. The residents were busy preparing for the Winter Veil Festival. The baron himself had nothing to do except supervise all the soldiers in his territory to gradually equip themselves with crossbows and gather the serfs to train the spear formation.
As soon as he finished speaking, Laing screamed. He was directly sucked into a psionic vortex. A few seconds later, he found himself in the depths of the Chalon Forest in the northern part of Baron Zeon's territory. Four imperial guards in golden armor were watching the surroundings with full concentration.
There were torches and bonfires around the cave. In the middle of the cave, there was a black device. Inside it was a red-haired man who kept screaming. An unknown black metal and countless cables seemed to be suppressing and binding his soul and body.
Next to the device, the human king was waiting for Laing. Perhaps he could not wait any longer, so he used his psionic power to teleport Laing over.
Angelang was there, too. The World Eater geno prototype looked at the king and then at Laing. "Father, if you want to purify Magnus, you can just ask Laing to come. Why do you need me?"
"Like I said, I need your help, Angelo." The Emperor smiled faintly as he said, "I need your help, Angelo."
"What do you need my help with, Father?" Laing asked with curiosity. He noticed there was another "person" who had followed the king to this world.
The Great Sage of the Machinery Faith, Karl, had also come. Seeing Ryan's gaze, this guy, who only had half of his face and half of his hand still made of organic matter, nodded as a greeting. "Hello, Gray Knight's original body."
"Hello, Great Sage." Laing nodded. He then asked the king, "Father, I told you about my brother's power axe."
"I have to be careful every time I move. Khorne and Tzeentch are looking for their Demon Origin. I only came here because I made a deal with the God of Laughter, Xi Legao, to cover my movements. You guys have to figure out how to get Angelo's weapon," the Supreme Emperor said calmly. He waved his hand to indicate that he didn't have time to deal with this.
Angelang did not look surprised. He looked at Laing with a look that said, "I knew my father was biased." He then sat down and did not look at his father.
"It's getting late. Let's begin!" Magnus, the Son of Red, was taken out of the device that sealed the Star God. Then, the king and Laing began to purify and transform Magnus.
But a few minutes after the transformation began, Magnus, who was lying on the stone slab, suddenly opened his eyes. He roared, "Don't even think about it! Damned father! "
"Not good! Father, Magnus's psionic consciousness has awakened! " Laing immediately felt a powerful subspace impact hit his sea of consciousness. The power was so strong that blood flowed out of Laing's nose and mouth.
"Angelang! Magnus needs to be anesthetized! "The Emperor could sense Magnus' resistance, so he immediately yelled at Angelo.
"Coming." Anglo picked up a large iron hammer, ran a few steps, and smashed it viciously against Magnus' head.
"Boom!" There was the sound of metal hitting something heavy. Magnus screamed, and a big bump appeared on his forehead. Then, the demon original body fainted, and his psionic consciousness fell asleep again.
"Okay, let's continue."
