"Frey Derick?" Laing's expression didn't look too good. "I remember that was the name of an Emperor of the Empire."
"The ninth Emperor of the Empire. He once single-handedly slaughtered a dragon in the Black Mountain Range." Morgiana added. She simply told Laing the news from the Lake Fairy. "This baby boy was declared by Elector Emmanuelle as her legal successor. She also received the support of Emperor Karl-franz."
"Very good." Laing let out a long sigh. He followed the wooden spiral staircase up the stairs and didn't say anything else.
"You don't seem to care too much about this child of yours?" Morgiana was a bit confused. The Lake Goddess followed behind Laing. "Is it because Emmanuelle chose to leave you?"
"That's not what I meant." Laing shook his head and continued, "I'm just a bit … I don't know how to put it. This is my first child, but I didn't see him being born, nor was I by Emmanuelle's side. I've always wanted to go to Nur to take a look, but Emmanuelle always rejected me. Now that the child has been born, I've already started a war with Mu Xilong. Before I completely reclaim Mu Xilong, I can no longer go to Nur."
After saying this, Laing let out a soft sigh. This was his regret as a father. He was powerless to change it, because the kingdom needed him, his army, and his people needed him.
Morgiana could sense the change in Laing's emotions. The Lake Goddess's gaze gradually softened. She walked behind Laing and said, "It's alright. You still have me and your wife, Suria, with you. Your child with Suria will be born at the end of this year."
"Mm …" Laing finally suppressed the worry in his heart. He said to Morgiana, "My princess, can you sense where the Holy Grail is?"
Morgiana closed her eyes and sensed for a bit. "It should be upstairs, in Count Orcarson's master bedroom."
"There's no time to lose." Laing nodded. The Potion Holy Grail was very important to Morgiana. The inheritance of the Lake Goddess Witch was completed with the help of the Potion Holy Grail.
The inheritance of the Lake Goddess Witches had always been extremely mysterious. Ever since the first Knight King Arthur and the twelve first Knights of the Holy Grail founded the country, the Lake Goddess Sect was naturally regarded as the most important sect in the Kingdom of the Knight King. Therefore, the Lake Goddess Witches began to appear. As the mortal incarnation of the Lake Goddess and the first God's Chosen One, they were in charge of religious affairs.
When Arthur passed away due to illness, it was the First Witch of the Lake Goddess who placed Arthur's body on a wooden boat, and it disappeared forever into the misty Fairy Lake.
After that, the Lake Goddess Witches began to reincarnate one generation after another. When the previous Lake Goddess Witch grew old, the Lake Goddess would choose one of the most powerful Lake Goddess Prophets to reincarnate through the power of the Potion Holy Grail. The next Lake Goddess Witch would inherit all the magical power and knowledge of the previous Lake Goddess Witch. Through this process, the Lake Goddess Witches would become more and more powerful.
Along with this, the Lake Goddess Witches' personal authority also grew. In the beginning, the Lake Goddess Witches' role was to assist the King and provide guidance in magic. However, after the second King "Reckless One" Lewis and the third King "White Death" Guillaume passed away, the Lake Goddess Witches' authority began to grow until now, a thousand years later.
However, to Laing, Morgiana's existence wasn't too big of a problem. First of all, Laing could directly discuss matters with the Lake Goddess. Secondly, Morgiana's body and mind were already completely …
"What's wrong? Laing, why are you suddenly looking at me with such a strange gaze? " Morgiana immediately felt a strange reaction from Laing's gaze. The Lake Goddess Witch hurriedly pushed him, "We're here. Open the door. You can do whatever you want tonight. Right now, finding the Potion Holy Grail is our top priority!"
"Mm!" Laing was just thinking about it. He didn't even plan on staying with Morgiana at night.
Opening the door, Count Orcarson's master bedroom was decorated in a very typical Brittany aristocratic style. The room was filled with all kinds of treasures and decorations that had been plundered. There were also many rare objects, including some treasures left behind by the High Elves.
On the wall, there was a portrait of the first Duke of Musillon, Landuin. Landuin's portrait was handsome and tall. His eyes shone like gems. He was holding a spear given to him by the Lake Goddess, the 'Light of the Indestructible Lake'. He was riding a tall pure-blooded Elven warhorse and was fighting with a giant dragon.
The twelve founding Holy Grail Knights and the first Knight King, Arthur, all had a spear given to them by the Lake Goddess. However, Arthur's' Fiery Dragon Spear 'and Landuin's' Light of the Indestructible Lake 'were the best weapons. The Fiery Dragon Spear was currently stored in Bastogne Castle. Only when the situation was most critical, the Red Dragon Duke Berchemund would go to the ancestral temple to retrieve this spear. The tip of the Fiery Dragon Spear would never become blunt. It could spit out dragon flames and restrain all evil.
The 'Light of the Indestructible Lake' would also never become blunt. This spear shone like the lake water under the moonlight.
However, after Arthur's death, Landuin defeated Schiluff in the championship match. He used the 'Light of the Indestructible Lake' to leave an ugly scar on Schiluff's face. From then on, Landuin never used this spear again. Its whereabouts were also unknown.
The Holy Grail that Laing and Morgiana had been searching for was placed in front of Landuin's portrait. The Holy Grail contained an extremely powerful magic power. Count Orcarson used a very sturdy black iron frame to place the Holy Grail inside. He even placed a bunch of iris flowers in front of the Holy Grail.
"We're finally back!" Morgiana quickly walked forward and placed the Holy Grail in her hand. She held the Holy Grail and felt the power within it. "This is great."
"I always felt that this process was a little too simple." Laing casually complained. "I originally thought that we would face a huge evil beast and have to work together to defeat it. Only then would we be able to find the Holy Grail in a secret mechanism. Moreover, there should be a sinister mechanism inside."
A golden halo surrounded Morgiana's body. Halos of holy light emerged from the Lake Goddess Witch's body. Magic power surged like the waves of the sea in the entire room.
The Lake Goddess Witch who had been betrayed by the Dryad and almost captured by Man Frey had finally recovered her full strength with the help of the Holy Grail.
The haze that had troubled the Lake Goddess Witch had finally dispersed from her body. Morgiana was in a good mood. She gestured for Laing to sit down. "The Holy Grail contained magic power that had been accumulated for thousands of years. The vampires wouldn't be able to corrupt it that easily. Moreover, its existence would greatly affect the surrounding land and disperse evil things. Therefore, the vampires would definitely place it in a place where it wouldn't affect them. The Spire Palace ruled by humans was a suitable place to temporarily place it. I believe that the vampires never thought that we would counterattack one day."
"Count Orcarson isn't actually a very cruel ruler." Laing stood up and walked to the window. He frowned. "Under his rule, the serfs around the Spire Palace and the nearby areas never starved to death. Unfortunately, we are still enemies. In order to quickly take over the Spire Palace, he has to die. I also have no intention of recruiting a human who was once a servant of the undead."
Outside the window, the dwarves were making simple wooden structures. They wanted to lift the cannons up the wall, but the results were not good.
"We don't have much time left. At most one day, Matthew Bad and his undead army will immediately attack. This Mu Xilong's venomous snake will definitely not allow the Spire Palace to fall," Laing continued. His attitude was serious. "The Spire Palace is too important to Mu Xilong."
Morgiana also came to the window. She also noticed the problem of lifting the cannons up the wall. "We won't make it in time …"
"So, my dear Morgiana, I'll leave the defense of the castle to you for the time being." Laing suddenly smiled. "I have my own things to do."
"Things to do?"
Leon did not say anything else. He went downstairs alone, and within a few minutes, a strong figure appeared among the labourers who were transporting the cannons. He carried a thousand-kilogram dwarven cannon and personally carried it up the city wall. "Quick! We have to finish setting up the cannons before nightfall! "
"Yes!"
… I'm the section divider of a laborer …
Old World, Brittany, Mu Xilong.
"What? The Spire Palace has fallen?! " Sitting on a chair in Merovin Castle, Matthew Bard said in disbelief to the guards of the Spire Palace who had traveled through the night to find Mu Xilon, "A castle with two thousand guards and fortified twice actually fell in a single day?"
"Yes, my lord. The Spire Palace has fallen. None of us know what happened." The guard knelt in front of Matthew Bard, his expression terrified. "I really don't know anything. I was awakened by the fire in the barracks at night. When I woke up, the castle had already fallen!"
"You don't know? You don't know anything? Where's Ocason? " Matthew Bad clenched his fists so hard that they turned white. Duke Mu Xilong was both angry and puzzled. He asked, "Where did Ocason go? Speak clearly! "
"That day, Count Orcarson went out for a winter hunt. He went out for a winter hunt in the morning and didn't return when the castle fell. The weather that day was very strange …" The guard knelt on the cold ground, trembling as he said, "Not only did the count take away all of his personal attendants, he also took away all of his elites. When the castle fell, all of the guards …"
"Alright! I understand! " Matthew Bard closed his eyes. He could already imagine what was going on. "You can leave now!"
"Yes!" The guard raised his head and glanced at Ma Xiubad before hurriedly leaving.
"Damn it! Damn it! " After the guard left, Matthew Bad no longer concealed his anger. He grabbed a scroll of parchment on the table and threw it out. "2000 guards! Over a hundred knights! That useless trash Ocason actually lost the Spire Palace in a day. He must have been killed during the winter hunt! "
The room was silent for ten seconds. Just as Matthew Bad was panting heavily, a Vampire Lord with pale skin and blood-red eyes in black armor walked out from the shadows. "The Spire Palace must not fall. This is my advice to you, young man."
"I said, Merovin, I don't need your advice!" Matthew Bad raised his head and stared at the vampire who was talking to him. It was the former Duke Mu Xilong, the 'Mad Duke' Merovin. "I know the importance of the Spire Palace!"
"The Spire Palace is located in the middle of Duke Mu Xilong's territory. It's the most important transportation hub that connects the east and west of the territory." Merovin's voice carried some irritation. "More importantly, the lower reaches of the Grismori River are turbulent. Only the waters near the Spire Palace are relatively calm. Southerners can build pontoons there. This is one of the few places where pontoons can be built in the lower reaches of the Grismori River. Why did you give this place to trash like Ocason to guard?"
"Ocason's performance has never disappointed me before!" Matthew Bad stood up. The Black Knight anxiously paced around the room. "He still has two thousand guards! Damn it, the Holy Grail is also in the Spire Palace! "
"The Lake Goddess Witch's Holy Grail?! Why did you put it in the Spire Palace? " Merovin also felt the danger of the situation. The mad duke asked, "Don't you and Frey know what the Holy Grail means to the Lake Goddess Witch?"
"Then where should we put it? The energy stored in the Holy Grail is enough to purify you into a pile of dust! If it was in Mu Xilong, our power would be severely weakened in less than a year or two! "
Merovin did not speak. This mad duke had fought with the Lake Goddess Witch Mariana after the rebellion. At that time, he had already become a vampire, but he was still no match for Mariana. He was defeated and killed.
After being anxious for a while, Matthew Bad miraculously calmed down again. He let out a long breath. "There's no point in talking about this now. The Spire Palace must be taken back! Berlites! "
"Here!" A young vampire came in from outside. It was Kalad's half-brother, Berlites.
"Lead Mu Xilong's regular army first! Attack the Spire Palace immediately! Do not let the southerners complete their defense! "Matthew Bad ordered." I will gather the army and follow! "
"Yes!" Berlites immediately left.
"What about me? I'm not going to sit here and watch this war unfold. " Merovin expressed his anger to Matthew Bard. "I want revenge on this country. That's our deal."
"Merovin, go to Richard Castle in the north." Matthew Bad then ordered Merovin. "This is an order!"
"But the Brittany has already attacked the Spire Palace, and you want me to go to Richard Castle?!" Merovin immediately raised his doubts. If the Spire Palace was Mu Xilong's gateway to the south, then Richard Castle was Mu Xilong's important stronghold in the north.
"The Spire Palace has already fallen. We cannot let Richard Castle fall as well!" Matthew Bad looked to the north.
"Some people will definitely not sit still once they know that the Spire Palace has fallen. Even if the spring plowing is coming soon, he and his army will definitely attack."
"So we must take back the Spire Palace before the situation worsens and strengthen Richard Castle's defense!"
"Now, let's split up."
