  Chapter 225 The person in power behind the scenes

"So, what you want is that I believe this information, and then do my best to inform His Majesty the Emperor to stop an impending vampire attack, so as to dispel my suspicions about you?" Layron said sarcastically: " One more thing, how can I help you, undead, so that you can die more happily?"

"Heh~ It's a really good joke." Geneviève was not annoyed at all, she said calmly: "It's up to you whether you believe it, Mr. Lailon, and it's also up to you whether to pass the information on to your human emperor. , I just want to show enough sincerity."

   In all honesty, Laeren didn't want to believe the female vampire in front of her. A cold-blooded animal has no mercy or honor to speak of.

  He didn't refute, nor did he refuse on the spot, because Boris Todbringer's daughter Sirena was in their hands, and it was very likely that she was isolated in a certain room by undead magic, and she couldn't feel a breath at that time.

   "Tell me the deal you want to make, and let's talk." After a moment of silence, Lailon said.

"Don't worry, you have to be patient when making a deal. Only when the two parties reach mutual trust can they do a good job." Genevieve kept smiling, and she continued: "It's not easy for you to be willing to sit in front of a vampire calmly. Talk about the transaction, put it aside for a while, I have that patience, after everything is over, someone will take the initiative to contact you."

   "What a huge group of Lamia vampires entrenched in Altdorf." Laeren looked at her coldly and asked the question in his heart.

"It's hard to describe. My kind has infiltrated every aspect of this city to an extent you can't imagine." Geneviève said in simple words: "Nobles, musicians, or doctors, priests, foreign warlocks, bandits , even bodyguards, gladiators, smugglers, hunters, alchemists, etc., since you entered the South Coast community until now, you have met no less than twenty people."

   "It seems that it is very necessary to ask His Majesty the High Priest to launch a purification campaign to investigate heresy from top to bottom." Layron said in a semi-threatening tone.

"Let me tell you, Lehren Wald, in the Empire, the influence of the Sisterhood of Lamia extends farther than that of Volkmar von Hindenstein." Genevieve said indifferently: "Justice The great priest of the church is elected by the three great chant masters. The position of religious advisor is not a stable seat. Volkma's imperial methods are far inferior to Nunn's great chant master Esme The third generation is brilliant, and this is one of the reasons why there are not a few rumors about the Great Priest falling into chaos."

"Even if Volkma listens to your warning and wants to launch a purification campaign, he will have to wait until Esme III leaves Altdorf before starting. Even so, a little fuel, an accidental discovery, is enough to make the pious big The priest was caught in a vortex until he gave up the purification movement."

   "...It sounds like you are the ones in power behind the empire." Laeren responded sarcastically.

"Okay, let's stop here for this meeting, and the night of the black waltz is coming to an end." Geneviève knew that there was no need to go on, the group dancing at the climax of the musical on the stage had ended, and all she had to say I have already said it and proved my attitude: "In addition, I will help you solve a small problem. The arrival of the heroes of the empire has caused many actions of Chaos cults. They have targeted assassination of you, although Humans and vampires are indeed not friends, but chaos is our common enemy. It is my little gift and sincerity to solve the unfavorable factors hidden in the dark. You may be very busy for a while, so busy that you don’t have the time and leisure to unite with your emperor friends to find trouble.”

"I will make those chaotic messes that are not good for you disappear completely, I promise." After finishing speaking, Geneviève turned around and left. Judging from her appearance and clothes, she has no flaws, just like a real nobleman who has been in and out of high society all the year round Like the lady, every move is elegant: "Wait a moment, Baron Laeren, the complete Miss Sirena will be returned to you immediately, the blood of the noble virgin, what a pity."

   "See you later, Mr. Baron."

  The door was closed, and only Lailun was left sitting alone in the VIP room.

As the female vampire said, soon, the concubine daughter of the White Wolf Elector who was still in a coma was sent to the VIP room by two human waiters. Apart from a little breath disorder, Xilinna had no other abnormalities. Discomfort caused by exposure to black magic is not a serious problem.

  By the time Lerlen wanted to go out to track down Geneviève, the vampire had long since disappeared. Even after questioning the guards at each gate of the theater in detail, the answers they got were very confused. They all said that no one had left since the beginning.

  In order not to attract too many people's attention, Lellen first found the White Wolf Elector Boris, then summoned the Black Panther Knights of the Elector's family, and led them to the backstage VIP room of the Anselmo Theater.

"Pirre-Mika, you lead people to guard outside, and no one is allowed to enter without my order!" The white wolf elector Boris ordered a black panther knight in a rage, and then pushed away Cherry doors.

"Yes!"

  In the gorgeously decorated VIP room, you can see the pale Xilina, she is falling into a coma.

   "Sirina... No, my daughter!" Boris Todbrin stepped forward quickly, his dark blue single eye was full of panic, and the elector hurriedly reached out to cover Sirina's pale pretty face.

Sirena is the crystallization of his love with his ex-wife, Mrs. Stephen, and the most important treasure left to his lover by his first wife. Since the death of his eldest son, Candido Todbringer, his daughter is the only one of the White Wolf Elector emotional sustenance.

   "Everything is fine, my Elector, Miss Sirena is just a little weak, she needs a period of rest." Laeren stood aside and comforted her.

"Lairon, tell me, what happened?!" Boris opened his arms and embraced his daughter in his arms. The elector had deep doubts and an anxious expression on his face, hoping Linna held it with a somewhat cold little hand: "Who is so bold!"

"This incident is also my negligence. I failed to guard against external threats." Laeren's voice was full of regret and sigh: "The Lamia vampires who are dormant in the theater, their kind have mixed into this theater, Pretend to be a waiter, and then take Miss Sirena away when she is not on guard."

   In the next few minutes, Lailon truthfully told the White Wolf Elector what happened just now, and the atmosphere in the room froze.

"Lemia vampires...those **** bitches!" Boris frowned, he seemed no stranger, and then carefully looked at Sirena's wrists, neck and lips, fortunately, he did not imagine The elector immediately stood up impulsively: "Leren, protect my daughter, I'm going to summon the Black Panther Knights now, this matter must have something to do with Karl Franz, no I will never give up if I ask for the explanation!"

   "Wait, my Elector, this matter will not be related to the emperor anyway, no one can expect the penetration of vampires to be so deep!" Lailon said anxiously.

"There are some secrets you don't know, Laeren, the puppy Karl won't be able to do without the secret support of the Lamia vampire, this is what Eric told me a long time ago, the one named Geneviève The female vampire has been helped by the Grand Prince of Rickland, and more than once, they used to be employed." Obviously Boris knew a certain secret history, the elector frowned, after all, he gave up the idea of ​​impulse, he sighed A voice: "Well, Lamia vampires... Strictly speaking, they are not enemies of the empire, but more like allies against chaos, a dangerous ally."

After a while, the White Wolf Elector who calmly thought about it said again: "The information given by the female vampire is very likely to be true. After all, when the first and second vampire wars are approaching, the Electors will also More or less received a few words of warning, it does not rule out the infighting among the vampires or their ulterior motives."

"The time of the attack that Geneviève said was on the night of the full moon in Manasbury, that is, the night after three days, even if we had taken precautions and dispatched troops from Carronburg to support it, it would be too late." Laeren said seriously: "The matter is urgent. I want to see His Majesty the Emperor immediately. Only in this way can the Guards of Altdorf City and the Church of Justice be ready to meet the enemy!"

"Then you go, Lailon, I remember that the emperor gave you a palace token, I will take Xilina out of here first, and return to the manor to wait for your news." Boris is also aware of the seriousness of the situation, he clicked He nodded, and motioned for Lailen to go quickly.

  The capital of the empire symbolizes absolute authority, and nothing can go wrong.

Layron immediately rushed out of the door. The musical at Anselmo Theater hadn't ended yet. No one in the audience noticed Baron Draco's hasty departure. He ran out of the theater gate, got on his horse, and walked along the empty street toward The palace area where the palace is located gallops.

At the same time, the Von Krieglitz Pavilion in the South Coast District, this five-story luxury residence belonging to the Church of the Sea, once belonged to the Grand Duke Gustav von Krieglitz of Wissenland, But now, Geneviève, who was leaning against the railing of the roof, looked at Lairen's back, and a few bats that were hardly noticeable flew to the east.

   Thirty minutes later, the palace area, the palace.

  Passing through more than a dozen streets in a row, the Imperial Palace has appeared in front of Laeren.

On the dome of the fifty-meter-high golden palace hall is a statue of a golden griffin holding a hammer, which is the coat of arms of the Schlisterin family. A solid and pure granite wall rises behind a six-meter-wide moat , Marble floors and silver-inlaid columns form the tallest and most sacred building in Altdorf. Since Magnus the "Savior" abdicated, the previous Emperor Leopold presided over the further addition and renovation of the Imperial Palace.

The golden griffin family coat of arms, the griffin holding the hammer represents the throne owned by the Prince Rick's family. In such a sacred place, mortals seem quite insignificant in front of the tall palace. It has passed since Laeren entered the palace last time. Nearly two years.

  Seeing Lailun coming galloping on horseback, more than a dozen palace guards holding halberds immediately sealed the gate of the palace. The guard officer shouted sharply: "This is the Imperial Palace, comers stop!"

  A token with a golden griffin coat of arms was revealed: "I am Baron Draco, Lehron Wald, and I urgently need to meet Emperor Karl Franz!"

The majestic and majestic palace, where the Schlisterin family lived, the wooden floor paved with high-quality animal skins is the exquisite skill of the palace craftsmen. There are golden gilt patterns on the furniture, which are all inlaid with real gold.

There are many delicacies from the old world on the long table, such as black pepper beef soup from Avelling, snowflake beef from the Knight Kingdom of Coronne, roasted iced bear paws from Kislev, and blueberry jam from the high elves. The cake and the honey cinnamon white bread cooked by the halfling chef of Mutling, of course, the fresh vegetables provided by the rich manor farm of Prince Rickling, the seeds are carefully selected, blessed by the priest of the Goddess of the Earth Church, can It can be seen that a luxurious banquet has just ended.

A cup of bright red drink is placed on the right hand side of the emperor. It is a generous gift from Alberic, the Duke of Boldro. It is produced in the private vineyard of the Duke of Boldro. Worth more than a hundred gold coins.

"The Norscan plunderers who went south to plunder were defeated by the United Navy. This is a good sign. A victory will at least silence the vast majority of the nobles who opposed the rebuilding of the Nord Navy. I am fed up with their ears Keep chirping." After the banquet, Karl Franz was very excited, and he continued to flip through the parchment: "Destroy sixty-three longships and dragon boats, destroy more than twelve hundred Norscans, and capture two One hundred and sixty-seven people took back the plundered loot worth 7,900 gold coins, um, yes, the gold coins owed for the formation of the Imperial Navy fleet can now be repaid by less than half."

   "Tell Admiral Trik von Hagelfins that the captives should be sacrificed to Mannen or transported to the slave market in Ehrengrad, in short, let him dispose of them."

"clear."

The sword of justice and the champion of the empire, Ludwig, stood beside the emperor, and Reick Marshal Kurt Helberg had a firm smile on his face: "My lord, we just defeated the barbarians, and the land they plundered The port on the west coast of Westland is now in need of the boys from Rickland to develop it!"

   "Hehe, I understand what you mean, my marshal, since the army is almost rested, it is time to send a competent imperial general to go." The emperor said with a smile: "Heilberg, you must have a suitable candidate."

   "My lord, Aldred von Kronborg is perfect, the western frontier of the empire needs him to protect."
