Exquisite, elegant, and extraordinarily handsome. This was Julius' first impression of Fulgen.
Serious, resolute, and unsmiling. This was Fulgen's first impression of Julius.
In Julius' view, Fulgen's image was really … completely different from Leon's two brothers. Of Leon's two brothers that left the deepest impression on him, the burly man called Anglo was a fierce man with a fiendish appearance and a big bald head. His favorite things were hunting and farming. As for the guy called Luo Jia, he was also a big bald head. His face was covered with strange scriptures, and he kept mumbling all day long about something that no one knew what.
This made Julius' impression of Laing's brothers not very good. He thought to himself, "What kind of strange people are they?"
There was also the red-haired and red-faced man at the wedding. His whole body was as black as charcoal, and his skin was as white as snow. None of them looked normal. Only the two brothers with the short blond hair and dark blue robes with long blond hair looked normal.
Now that he saw Fulgen, Julius was relieved. This was more like it. This was how a true aristocrat should act. A descendant with a noble bloodline should act.
Fulgen and Laing must have been born from the same mother, and the one called Luo Jia and Angelang must have been born from Laing's biological father and another mother (most likely a barbarian).
Julius firmly believed in this.
While Julius was letting his imagination run wild, Fulgen also sized up Laing's brother-in-law.
He had only heard the name of Laing's brother-in-law, but had never met him. However, when he saw Julius' appearance, his family crest, and his equipment, Fulgen could basically confirm that the person in front of him was indeed Laing's brother-in-law. This world was different. Although Julius' equipment was somewhat tattered, the two-handed broadsword blessed by the Prophet of the Lake, and the full-body plate armor forged from Brittany mithril were not things that mortals could casually disguise. This was because ordinary people simply couldn't get their hands on these things!
Was it possible that he was Tzeentch in disguise? Fulgen thought about it for a moment before shaking his head. Lord Kroc had once explained the Great Guardian and the Great Vortex in detail. As long as there were no problems with the Great Guardian, it wasn't that Tzeentch couldn't enter the prime material plane, but it couldn't stay there for long periods of time. It was even more impossible for it to disguise itself as Julius and roam the mortal world.
Similarly, in the mortal world, regardless of whether it was the Lan Demon Toad, the geno prototype, or the king's royal guards, the ultimate creatures' powers were suppressed. They could not use their full power. Compared to the chaos demon's suppression, it was slightly better.
On the contrary, if it was the main material universe, it would be different. There was no great guardian there. The light of the Emperor's star beacons needed to illuminate the entire Milky Way. It could not suppress the wind of Chaos like the great guardian of the Ancient Sages. The corruption of the Evil Gods would directly blow from the Eye of Fear to the main material universe.
So why was Laing's brother-in-law here? What did he come here for? Why did he come looking for him? Is Laing in trouble? Or does he have something to ask of me?
Fulgen's heart was full of question marks. His handsome face had a trace of curiosity, but at the same time, he was a little embarrassed. Although Suria was indeed the daughter-in-law of the Empire and had been personally conferred the title of queen of the Empire by the Emperor, this was the first time Fulgen and Julius had met. They were not familiar with each other, so the geno prototype, who pursued perfection, was a little worried about whether or not he would neglect the brother of the queen of Suria. "Then I'm sorry. Welcome, Julius. Welcome to Raider's Harbor. On behalf of all the soldiers of the Ash Army and the residents here, I welcome your arrival."
"Thank you," Julius answered stiffly, which made both sides feel a little awkward.
"Let's go in and talk. It's windy outside." At this time, Felix Edmundovich, the general of the Kislöw wing cavalry "Dzerzhan" legion, had to come to the rescue. This soldier from Kislöw quickly adapted to his new environment and quickly integrated into it. He also found his own role in the Ash Army.
He established a new department, which was called "Cheka" in Kislöw. It was responsible for monitoring the corruption of Chaos, eliminating and dealing with Chaos cultists, and managing prisons, searches, arrests, and detentions. Once found, there was no tolerance. Therefore, Felix was nicknamed "Iron Man."
"Come, friends from afar. Hubby will use my favorite crucible to cook a table full of delicious food for you! I guarantee fresh ingredients! " Hubby, the halfling hired by Fulgen, wore a tall chef's hat, a dirty white apron, and a big red clown nose. Some officers saw this scene and could not help but laugh. Although Julius still looked cold, after seeing Hubby's appearance, his eyes softened a little. "Sorry to disturb you."
"It's okay. We are relatives." Fulgen showed his etiquette very elegantly. "Let us provide wine and cheese to our distinguished guests, as well as fruits unique to the tropical rainforest."
"Thank you."
The Marauder's Harbor was very orderly. People gathered in groups of three to five. Livestock were being slaughtered and sold in the market. Merchants from the Empire and Brittany also appeared in the market to sell specialties from the old world. Due to the shortage of goods, the trade was very hot. The people here used large amounts of gold and silver to buy a series of goods from the old world. Even High Elves joined in.
The town's lord's house was located on a cliff by the sea. Its shape was quite strange, like a pearl by the coast. It was built with large pieces of glass and steel. This unique and imaginative luxurious house was built on the white beach. The blue-green sea and palm trees caressed by the breeze, as well as the luxurious design, were incredible.
It was surrounded by colorful flowers and tropical plants. It was like a tropical gem, becoming a beautiful embellishment of the sugar-colored beach and the dark blue sea. The baroque palace-style architecture and the purple and gold patterns of flames and phoenixes, which were unique to the elf culture, were set off between the green mountains and the blue sea.
Fulgen's subordinates, including the deputy commander of the Ashes Army, the phoenix guard Fernando Pilazzo, who had been genetically modified by the lizardmen's incubation pool, the gold wizard Karim from Araby, and the wing cavalry general Felix, were all present. They sat down in the house. Every corner of the room was exquisite and detailed. When they looked up, they could see the ocean through the glass. Even Julius felt happy.
Everyone sat down, and the servant served everyone a cup of hot cocoa, a beverage made with raw materials from Luscia.
The two sides exchanged greetings. Fulgen sat on the main seat with interest. His seat was a gold double-headed eagle chair that was cast in gold and carved by the dwarf craftsmen. The king's son, the geno prototype, smiled and said, "Julius, why are we meeting here?"
"This is the end of the expedition," Julius said stiffly.
"An expedition? Did you become an expedition knight? But as far as I know, even if the Brittany's expedition knights left the Knight King's Kingdom to continue their expeditions, they would not leave the Old World. " Fulgen was curious. He then asked, "Luscia, this is unbelievable. How did you get here?"
"The Empire's expeditionary force. I came here by ship." Julius nodded.
The Empire's expeditionary force? Fulgen immediately captured important information from Julius's words. "You mean, you came with the Empire's expeditionary force?"
"Tokan Temple," Laing's brother-in-law simply said the name of the place.
Everyone at the meeting looked at each other. They knew about the arrival of the Empire's expeditionary force, but why would Julius follow?
"This is the will of the Lady," Julius suddenly said. His face was only serious and sincere. "I received the Lady's oracle. In the deepest part of my sleep, she used words as soft as feathers to enlighten me. If I want to complete the Holy Grail trial and complete the Holy Grail expedition, I must come to Luscia."
"I see. I understand." After Fulgen heard what Julius said, he casually expressed that he understood. He used his fingers to gently brush away the silver hair that was wrapped around his armor and wings. The king's son geno prototype did not seem to feel anything about the so-called lake fairy's oracle. "In that case, Mr. Julius, please do not worry about the expedition. If you need anything, you can come here and find us for help. You can replenish your supplies, repair your armor, and heal your injuries. I will do my best to help you."
"No, that is not the reason I came to you." Julius finally frowned. "The Lady asked me to come to you. The Lady asked me to come and help your army. You need my help."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed. After hearing Julius's words, Forgen was stunned at first, then as if he had heard something funny, he laughed out loud.
"Hahahahaha ~ Hahahaha ~ We need your help? Your lady told you that we need your help? "Fu Gen laughed like a child." Do you know who our opponent is? Do you know our next plan? You don't know anything. Your lady asked you to help us, and you came to help us? Have you never considered whether you are up to the task? "
"Hahahahaha ~" The entire hall was filled with laughter.
Julius's face suddenly turned ashen, then white. When had he ever suffered such humiliation since he was born?
He almost subconsciously wanted to take out the white gloves in his pocket, but when he remembered that his beloved sister was now Laing's wife, Julius tried his best to suppress his anger. He gritted his teeth. After a long time, when Forgen and the others finished laughing, the expeditionary knight said, "Does Commander Forgen think that I, a peak legendary expeditionary knight, can't help you?"
"Oh? No, of course not. You can help. " Forgen seemed to have suddenly realized something. He sneered somewhat mockingly. "Since your lady thinks you are worthy, then you can help! But on the battlefield, or at a critical moment, whose orders are you going to listen to? Mine or your lady's? Sir Julius? "
Julius only felt that the anger in his chest had swelled to the limit. He immediately reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of dirty white gloves, throwing them directly at Fulgen. "Enough! I can't tolerate you looking down on my lady like this! I, Julius Kumani Antrel de Winford, challenge you to a duel! "
The white glove flew towards Fulgen in the air. The commander of the Ashes Legion had a calm and playful look in his eyes. He reached out and caught the white glove that was still flying in the air and returned it to Julius. "No, I refuse."
"Why?!" Julius stood up directly. He felt that his anger had rushed to his head.
Forgen laughed. Psionic power gushed out of his eyes, containing extreme pride and confidence. "A duel without suspense lacks the most basic meaning of existence."
"Do you really know who I am? You want me to accept a duel? Glory, valor, faith. Wait until you have proven yourself first, then come talk to me about a duel! "
"The current you is not worthy."
