Chapter 262 Skull and Bones
The top of Montenegro is second only to a small area from the top of the mountain to the high palace. This is the real upper class of the empire, and it is the place where a group of people with the highest power, the richest resources and the strongest military power live in this country and even the continent.
The snow on the top of the mountain melts into clear streams, gathering into a small lake in a valley. An ancient and vicissitudes of the castle stands by the lake. Every brick and stone casting this castle is a witness to history and a precious heritage of the empire. However, unlike the Dorag Castle, where the empire's great marshal Retuss, this castle, which is not much different from the inside, is a completely different world...
The floor paved with crystal, the pillars made of pure gold, the carpet woven by the back of the human face, the curtains woven by the immortal down, the living space expanded by the magic of space, and the treasures created by the masters of various races and craftsmen... This luxury is no longer something that can be described by the crude and pale words such as "magnificent".
The magic candle made of mermaid fat reflects the entire castle's interior in a soft and warm light. Every twelve steps, you can see two beautiful elf maids standing on both sides of the corridor. They lower their heads with smiles and lower their heads, and their bodies remain motionless no matter how long they stand, like sculptures.
In a secret reception room inside the castle, several old men, who are still quite old, sit around the sofas. Their faces and expressions are either shrewd and capable, or vicious and proud, but they all have one thing in common, that is, the confidence, calmness, and ruthlessness and coldness developed by long-term high positions.
Looking closer, the sofa under them... no, every piece of furniture in this reception room looks very unusual. This sofa, this coffee table, this lamp stand, this table and chair, and every piece of furniture here is not made of wood and metal materials, but is vivid and vivid human bodies, combined with extremely variable abstract aesthetics in a twisted posture. Their expressions are so vivid and their skin is so smooth and delicate that no one will believe that they are fake wax figures from a certain art master. And this is true, every piece of furniture here is made of living people.
Human body furniture... Furniture made by magical and evil necromancer magic forever solidifies vivid creatures into a specific posture is the "masterpiece" of human beings whose cruelty and aesthetics have developed to the extreme peak. Looking closely, the faces of these human bodies that constitute furniture are so familiar... The forbidden spell mage who once wiped out tens of thousands of corps of the Empire in one fell swoop, the great magician of the Seven Tower Alliance, Lei Qisi Melanda, the elf queen who guarded the dark forest for thousands of years, the legendary troll shaman, the prophet Gamalan Baiya, the legendary figure who once calmed a war with beauty and purity. The little princess of the Emiro Millennium Empire, and the charming Lady Sukaterina, the number one beauty in the Black Mountain before the Earl of Amanda, and...
These legendary figures, these names should be permanently recorded in the epic, and at this moment, they appeared as a piece of furniture material in this not very wide secret meeting room. They are still alive... This is also their greatest misfortune.
In this room with strange and lewd style, every man was so calm. They sucked their dark pipes and occasionally tasted the wine placed on the "coffee table" in front of them. They looked no different from the participants of the Men's Midnight Party held by ordinary families. But perhaps no one would believe that every tobacco in their pipes was worth a whole gold brick, and every sip of the wine they drank was enough for a small town to drink milk for a day.
These people were silent until a man in his forties gently knocked his pipe a few times and said, "Have you confirmed the news?"
A younger man next to him immediately replied: "It has been confirmed by many people who attended the cocktail party two days ago that it can be confirmed that a child who looked very similar to Count Amanda appeared, and his name has also been confirmed, Goria Cristia Tabris von Hugwen."
"Xu Wen... Hahaha, is it really the lost son of the lowly man's family? This is really interesting. I remember that Amanda's bitch's brother had been missing for a long time. Although I heard that he appeared two years ago and then disappeared mysteriously again, it seems that a lot of things have happened within this lowly family."
Originally, a foreigner among the nobles could be said to be even more humble than the lower-level nobles. It was not the turn of the big men in this secret room to worry about them, but who told the humble Fuzizhe family that there was a beautiful man with a glamorous appearance, an Earl Amanda who was as beautiful as a man and won the title of "The First Beauty of the Imperial Capital".
"In recent years, that bitch Amanda has been so arrogant. Even we sometimes have to avoid and tolerate him. Now, our supreme Majesty now has a new favorite, and now we are all focused on that giant monster. Amanda? Xiu Wen, hum, a mere executioner, I must dig out his body, dig out his internal organs and make it into dishes, cut off his head, and make it into a specimen for my hunting exhibition hall."
"Basolona, you are still so unstyled. The whole thing is just addicted to boring hunting...Art treasures like Amanda, don't you think he should be kept at home and trained to be a well-behaved cat? I have a few orc slaves who are very skilled in this. You have seen many of my baby pets before..." A tall man with a very feminine face said with a wicked smile, and then he smiled and continued with a bit of seriousness on his face: "Amanda has undoubtedly fallen out of favor, but it is not yet thorough enough.
In the end, although our supreme emperor is tired of the new and old, he should not have been completely tired of Amanda's toy. I arranged it in the palace to report to me this morning. During breakfast, the emperor suddenly arranged for someone to pack a piece of pastry on the table to Amanda's mansion, saying that he vaguely remembers that he likes to eat this kind of thing. This proves that the emperor is not completely in love with him. If we act rashly, it may cause very bad results. Don't forget that there are several fewer people who can sit in this room in these years."
"Clockdal is right. It's not time for us to take action now, and even if we do it, it's better not to target Amanda directly. We can start with the Xiu Wen family behind him. This newly discovered child may come in handy."
"And... don't you think it might be a very good thing if you could put this child and that bitch Amanda on the bed? They looked very similar, but one looked like a ripe peach, and the other was a sour and stimulating green fruit..." The man who said this suddenly showed a wretched and ugly smile on his face, and his smile seemed to be contagious. After a while, most of the people in the room had very similar smiles on their faces, and the scene with roughly the same content seemed to appear in their minds.
"Yes, this should be a very good experience for the Emperor." A cold voice suddenly sounded in the room. A man with a cold expression was always cold. He exuded a cold murderous intent all over his body. With this secret room, it seemed a little out of place with the vulgar old people in the secret room.
His words interrupted the fantasies of the old people like a basin of cold water. They said with displeasure on their faces, but had to endure, "General Zuo De, what do you mean by saying this?"
This man who suddenly spoke was the second-ranked second in the Emperor's affairs after the Dragon Rider General Letuss. General Zuod. He smiled coldly.
, said: "The Emperor likes fresh and interesting things, things he liked before. The people he loved will always be bored with it for a month or two, and then abandon it mercilessly. But Amanda broke this rule. The Emperor's favor for him lasted for seven years, seven years! In fact, if it weren't for the once-in-a-lifetime giant monster that suddenly appeared, I'm afraid the Emperor's eyes would not have been removed from Amanda. This is enough to show how terrible the charm that that guy has. Now, even you are very interested in the child who suddenly appeared and want to bring him and Amanda together to appreciate and play with him. Wouldn't our supreme emperor have such thoughts and impulses? If I were Amanda, I would never miss this opportunity to attract the Emperor's eyes back to you again."
Everyone in the house can be called cunning. They thought of many things in an instant, and the expression on their faces suddenly became a little ugly.
After a moment, the man who spoke first said again: "General Zuo De was right. This matter may be more complicated than we had expected before. The most important plan of our Skeleton and Bones Society is about to be in progress. No variables are allowed during this period. Amanda is likely to become our obstacle and will never allow him to gain the favor of the Emperor again. We cannot easily touch Amanda, so we must take the child into his hands first."
The status of this man is obviously higher than that of others. After he spoke, he did not say anything objection or questioning. He paused for a moment, his eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the room, and then said with a smile: "Thankfully, this child is now in the hands of a lower-level nobleman. He cannot leave Montenegro without my permission. Although he has been jumping around these two days, I don't think anyone dares to disobey our "Skull and Bones Club" for a lower-level nobleman. It seems that I need to send someone to welcome our little beauty."
This matter is small, not big. After all, the only one who "owns" Geron now is just a lower-level nobleman. In the eyes of these real big men, they are like ants who are no different from civilians. Moreover, they are also a behemoth that occupies the political arena of the imperial capital and the highest veteran of the "Skull and Bones Society". Such things can be arranged by magical messaging. Soon a arrogant and domineering carriage rushed out of the castle and rushed towards the noble area at the foot of the mountain.
These big men smoked and drank, and the topic changed one after another. At this time, the big man suddenly said: "I recently bought two daughters from the old street. As expected, as the legendary, although these girls are not the best in terms of appearance and figure, their methods of serving people are extremely considerate. They always know what you need most, what you want to hear most, and what you like to do the most. They can comfort you like your mother when you are tired, and when your body needs it, even if you are a little older, that
I always feel a little helpless, and they have a way to regain your strength, and then let you destroy it like a bird in the bed, so that you can get the greatest satisfaction. Oh my God... I can't live without them at all. It's impossible to compare with those elves who only have beautiful faces but are always dead like an alchemy machine. In a fit of anger, I took all the boring elves women in my house as specimens, so that their faces will look a little better. I think you will see them when you enter the house."
When he heard the "daughter of the old street", General Zuo De, who was always out of touch with the style and atmosphere in the house, suddenly frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but at this moment, a rapid magic ringtone suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. Then an old man picked up a magic accessory with an unhappy expression, stroked his fingers on it, and then a sound came from the accessory.
The voice was not loud, and the old man listened quietly, but his expression on his face became more and more angry. Finally, he just said coldly to the accessories: "I don't need waste. You, and your family, can all die. Tomorrow morning, let your successor come to see me with your head."
After saying these cold and ruthless words, the old man turned off the magic communication accessories, and was silent for a long time before saying to the others: "We are too late to start, and someone has taken the child away first."
"Who is it?" the old people in the house did not yell. Their anger did not need to be expressed in this crude way, but just looking at the solemn atmosphere in the house, you can tell how huge the price it would cost to calm their anger.
The old man who was talking suddenly had a strange face. After he had been struggling for a long time, he slowly spit out a name, a name that made the other old man shut up.
