Chapter 26 Nightmare Maid

“Do you think he noticed something?”

Duke Simon stared blankly at the King-Rebel endgame on the table after the Court Mage Vincent had left. A voice that could not tell the difference between old and young suddenly echoed in the empty seat beside him.

“If he didn’t notice anything, then he wouldn’t be the ‘Scorch Sage’ Vincent who was called Number One Person under Legendary, and that was part of the plan, wasn’t it?”

The duke replied, then leaned over and tried to put away the chessboard, but a hand stopped between him and the chessboard.

The hand was surrounded by a layer of mist like a dream.

Duke Simon raised his head, the owner of this arm was also shrouded in a layer of mist, and its appearance changed between different ages as the mist passed.

Familiar of the Void King Nightmare Lord, Nightmare Maid.

He is also one of the Moon Realm spirits with whom he signed a blood pact.

“He’s going to investigate in Holy Tomb himself, I know his character.”

Duke Simon said.

“I thought you would be more concerned about your old relationship, after all, he has been helping you for twenty-four years.”

“He is already old, and now he is just an old man who misses his daughter. Just father, he is no longer the warrior who once dared to question the laws of the stars and resist the tyranny of the empire.”

Nightmare Maid hearing this had a faintly discernable smile on his face.

“But you tried to make him a warrior, didn’t you? Otherwise, how did that Staggering Demon’s contract agent fall into the hands of David Orbis.”

Duke Simon sighed silently.

Nightmare Maid chuckled.

“I’m actually curious, if there is no heresy mage who came out of nowhere to disrupt the situation. Master Vincent really became a warrior again because of the tragic death of his daughter, then you have to go from Where can I find another magic caster near the Legendary Domain to replace him as fuel for the ‘King-Rebel ceremony’?”

Duke Simon did not speak, but turned his head through the window and looked towards him and stood aside Star Lighthouse.

Nightmare Maid first looked towards the lighthouse in surprise, and then burst out laughing uncontrollably. Its image also changed rapidly with the laughter.

“hahahahaha, that’s so funny, you’re going to use the Star Lighthouse’s light-keepers as firewood for the ceremony. Not only the imperial family, but you even the Star Council that runs the laws of the stars. Considered an enemy? It seems that I really want to thank that unknown heretic mage for saving his daughter.”

“It’s not because of this…”

Duke Simon replied.

“Once the plan begins, it will be a matter of time before I break with the Star Council. The Blackwater Province wants true independence and wants to recreate the glory of the Blackwater Kingdom, not just in a worldly sense. Independence of the empire. It is also necessary to completely get rid of the control of the empire on the transcendental level and the level of belief.”

More than 800 years ago, the reincarnation of the great hero William Kane, Terra I, conquered the entire Vic with martial power. The continent established the Riel Empire, and then dared to challenge the authority of the Battle Emperor country. There are countless examples of independent success in history. But these forces were only short-lived in the end, but after a few years they reluctantly returned to the territory of the empire.

The reason is that the secular regime is only part of the Riel Empire. This huge monster named Empire is also composed of the royal family, the Star Council and the Holy Spirit church, these three pillars that symbolize the secular, the transcendent and the faith.

Duke Simon understands that in order to fulfill the family’s 800-year long-cherished wish, he must rebuild his three pillars.

The legacy of Holy Tomb is his only hope.

“When ceremony succeeds and I master that army, I will recreate the faith of the Three Goddess in Blackwater Kingdom, and open Moon Realm’s contract magic to replace the law of the stars as a new magic base. .”

Nightmare Maid did not answer the Duke’s words, but put his finger on the mob’s chess piece and pushed it lightly, knocking off the opponent’s chess piece that symbolized the sage.

“King-Rebel King-Rebel, the rebels can only become the new king after killing the king. If you want to inherit the legacy of the Blackwater King, you still have to play a real rebel, Silver Stream How’s the preparation at Mine?”

Duke Simon laughed.

“Don’t worry, it’s all taken care of by the web weavers, it…”

Halfway through the words, the duke stopped, his face changed drastically, and then he muttered to himself .

“How could this be…”

Nightmare Maid asked.

“What’s wrong?”

“The Web Weaver just disappeared in my etheric domain.”

Before he could continue to explain, the meeting room The door was suddenly pushed open.

“Your Excellency, Star Lighthouse has sent an urgent report, the ‘reverberation’ spell has been activated in the Mage Hall, the one you sent to Silver Stream Mine…”

A herald hurried in, and he saw Nightmare Maid sitting beside him, constantly changing form.

“Big… lord, is this?”

“Come here.”

Nightmare Maid hooked the young herald, The man walked towards it uncontrollably.

“Tell me, what did you see?”

In the eyes of the herald, the image of this woman shrouded in mist is constantly changing, sometimes young, beautiful and beautiful. alluring, sometimes old and ugly, and finally the image of a lady he loves.

“I see…”

The herald took it’s hand and said, somewhat delirious.

And the next moment, the woman turned into a terrifying appearance of corruption and festering. mouth kissed him.

With a “Pa” sound, the herald turned into a pile of foam in this kiss and disappeared, leaving only a piece of clothing on the ground.

Nightmare Maid, having done all this, bent down, picked up the man’s clothes, and threw them into the fireplace.

“Do you mind if I do this without your permission?”

“Now is not the time to talk about this, how could the weavers suddenly…”

The Duke said impatiently.

“How about let me see?”

Nightmare Maid asked, flipping the herald’s clothes with a poker.

“No, it’s enough trouble for a Moon Realm spirit to appear in Silver Stream Mine, and now I don’t know who did it. If it’s a secret agent from the church or the royal family, it can’t be right now. It makes me more suspicious.”

“I’m different from that woman who only plays tricks behind her back and looks ugly once her scheme is exposed. Can see through.”

Duke Simon pondered for a moment, and finally hooked the head.

“No matter how you say it, the other party has enough strength to defeat the Web Weaver, and you are too risky. You go and control the ‘King Killer’ first, I must guarantee that even in the worst case The ceremony can also proceed as usual.”

“Who are you going to let go to the mine?”

The Duke heard this frowning for a while, and finally said.

“According to the Silver Stream Mine riot plan, send three platoon thorn black guards and five war mages to quell the riot, and Master Vincent will lead the team.”

Finished, Duke Simon sighed.

“Old friend, this is the last chance I will give you.”
