Transcendent Dawn

"teacher?"

Inside the tent, a small head poked out.

Messiah was awakened by the movement just now, his big eyes were full of curiosity.

"fine."

Sulu waited for a while, and saw a centaur come back with blood on the spear tip, saluted him, disappeared into the card, and disappeared.

"Escaped?"

He smiled and didn't care: "It seems that there is still some real skill."

Although the alienated centaur is not as good as Raffis, it is also equivalent to a knight who has just entered the third rank.

Being able to escape from its grasp, even at the cost of a certain amount of injury, is quite a strength.

"Teacher... Is this also the ability I will learn?"

Messiah, who was already submerged in the tent, opened a gap and looked at the centaur card with a look of surprise on his face.

"You don't need to know about this question."

Sulu said with a straight face: "A lady shouldn't stay up in the middle of the night and peep."

"Teacher, you remind me of my nanny...the same sternness."

Messiah curled his lips, and suddenly became silent again.

Sulu felt a little embarrassed for a moment. The people in the palace should have almost died during the war.

"Okay, okay, sleep first!"

He rolled into his tent and stretched comfortably.

At the same time, a shadow clone emerged, like the most loyal guard, performing the duty of standing guard.

...

western border.

Known as the Land of Flowers in the Kingdom, this land is rich in all kinds of flowers.

The ruling core of the Drake family is in Tulip Castle.

Council hall.

Many western nobles lined up on both sides, and some positions were vacant, or were temporarily filled by women and children.

These are the nobles who went to the capital together with Grand Duke Drake. Most of them died in battle, and a small part became captives.

In short, the powers and obligations of vassals are temporarily performed by their wives or children.

In the main seat above the three-story stone steps, sat a teenager who was only about eleven or twelve years old.

He is the second son of the late Grand Duke - Bard. Due to the death of his eldest son, he has officially assumed the title of Grand Duke Drake and won the allegiance of the nobles present.

As a young man, he was very nervous, looking at the bachelor next to him from time to time.

"Ahem..."

This bachelor is an old man with white hair, holding a book, and the light of wisdom is brewing in his eyes. At this moment, he coughed: "My lords... The raven has brought us unfortunate news. I understand your concern. Sorrow and hatred, but reason is the only way to solve the problem, today's western region can no longer bear the flames of war..."

"Bachelor Brunel, do you want us to make peace with those barbarians in the Northland?"

Next to the young Duke Bard, there was a nobleman standing.

He looks middle-aged, with a hooked nose, a gloomy complexion, and a high hairline. He seems to be suffering from hair loss due to long-term thinking.

At this moment, his face was full of anger: "Those barbarians killed my brother and my sister... Now, do we still have to bow down to them?"

"Master Shaker, please remain calm, I am only proceeding from the reality of the western region..." Brunel explained.

The position of a bachelor is equivalent to a private advisor to a nobleman, and does not necessarily have a title.

Their status and power are closely related to the degree of favor and authority of the superior.

Brunel was originally a bachelor who was very favored by Duke Drake, but now, the authority of the young Duke is weakened, and he does not trust him as much as his father. Facing Shaker, the uncle of the current Duke, he has to explain.

"We haven't lost yet!"

Shaker roared: "The barbarians in the north are the real rebels. We need to seek the support of the south and the east... By the way, we must also find the queen! I have received a message, Mother Goddess Hong En, our queen is fine, She escaped!"

"oh oh!"

There was a burst of cheers from below, this was the only 'good news' heard by all the nobles.

"Everyone... the barbarians in the north will not let go of this good opportunity. They will definitely attack the west. We need to prepare for war! Mobilize immediately!"

Shaker took advantage of this opportunity and started a pep talk.

And Brunel and Bud had gloomy faces, as if they had been forgotten by everyone.

"My lord, please be patient for a while."

After the meeting was over, Brunel quickly caught up with Bud and said softly.

Because the Duke is still underage, Shaker wields enormous power, similar to a 'regency'.

And once a war is launched, the power will definitely be more inclined to him, which is not in line with the interests of the young duke!

However, as a party with a deep blood feud with the northern border, it is impossible for Bard to propose a truce, and even if he used the bachelor's test today, it ended in a disastrous failure.

"I understand, what's more... just like what uncle said, the northerners are likely to attack us directly... prepare for war."

Bud smiled wryly.

...

late at night.

Shaker found himself in the meeting hall again.

The difference from last time was that this time, he was wearing a duke's dress, and he was proudly accepting the cheers from the nobles below.

This was the deepest ambition in his heart, but he never expected it to come true!

"This... where is this? I... I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Originally Shaker was very intoxicated, but suddenly, a coolness like a glacier washed over his whole body, making him sober.

"Yes, you are dreaming!"

At this time, everyone turned around with strange smiles on their faces.

Their figures were blurred, as if they had turned into pieces of paper, and then merged strangely, turning into the image of another stranger.

It was a young man in his twenties, wearing a knight uniform, clean and tidy, with a tall and straight figure, dark eyes, and an attractive mystery.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Sulu Botley! Uh... the chief mage of the court appointed by Her Majesty the Queen! Please forgive me for disturbing you."

"It's you!" Shaker's face changed: "Did the queen ask you to come? Where is she?"

"She is safe and will arrive at Tulip Castle in a few days. I am here to make an insurance policy for her safety."

Sulu smiled.

He was too lazy to stay by Messiah's side all the time, and besides, there was no point in 'sharpening' that way.

"The Queen will be safe in the Western Territory..."

Shaker stiffened his mouth twice, but finally gave in and said, "What do you want to do? Sign a wizard's contract?"

"No, it's easier than that!"

Sulu shook his head and said, "I don't even need your cooperation..."

"you……"

Shaker was shocked, but in the dream, he was not Sulu's opponent at all, and his expression became blank in a blink of an eye.

Sulu took a step forward and pointed his index finger at Shaker's forehead.

"Using psychic thaumaturgy, combined with the ability to create dreams... tampering with memories can be done without flaws!"

"However, to be on the safe side, let's leave the curse of a time bomb here."
