Rather, it could be said that as early as under the propaganda offensive of the "Magic Newspaper", almost the entire European occult world had focused its attention on present-day Berlin, waiting for the final result.
And when the city was completely covered by a blood moon.
When the black flags began to fly.
Everyone was silent.
As a result, magic associations in various cities in Germany began to close their doors, and the church branches received orders to retreat at the first opportunity.
They knew exactly what the Dead Apostles were.
When they put everything on the table, a grand carnival is inevitable. With the ancestors gathering together, as long as they are willing, all the forces currently in Germany will not be able to withstand destruction.
However, their guess was correct.
When the blood moon enveloped Berlin and began to spread outward from Berlin, the German Dead Apostles also received the first order from their now "King of the Dead Apostles" Altluchi.
kill.
Likewise! Before tomorrow's dawn, all of Germany.
No one from the church is allowed to exist!
Big cleanup!
The dead apostles who poured into Europe were inspired and their repressed natures were released.
“This is really unreasonable!!”
In the monarch meeting room of the clock tower, the twelve monarchs stood in their seats again. Even Solonia, who was far away in Northern Europe and had just fought with the Black Wing Prince not long ago, was urgently called back.
A mustachioed monarch had angrily thrown the latest magic newspaper on the table. It was around three o'clock when countless crows actually invaded London, their base camp, and scattered the spoils.
This is a provocation, a naked provocation.
In just three days, they were forced to hold two monarch meetings in the middle of the night because of this damn newspaper.
What made them even more angry and silent was not the joint declaration of both parties.
They had already anticipated this at their last meeting and confirmed the result.
The real reason why they had to get up in the middle of the night again was...
Altluch, the erratic Blood Princess, announced for the first time the territory that belonged to her. However, this territory was not the country of Austria, nor the big city of Berlin.
But it is an unknown small country county, Cornwall!
This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the magicians, and even more so a slap in the face of the Clock Tower.
Cornwall, a peninsula belonging to the United Kingdom, is the hometown of King Arthur!
Being in the territory and under the management of the Magic Association, it had unknowingly become... the capital of the Dead Apostles?!
Are you kidding me!!
Therefore, under this provocative humiliation, even the peace factions such as Acherot, who had always been determined not to participate in the war, could not help but remain silent.
War is inevitable and evil will be eliminated.
Even though the decision on the crown position had not yet been made, everyone in the Clock Tower had already voted unanimously for war.
Barthemelo, who was originally happy to see the outcome, frowned slightly.
Eliminating vampires was in line with her wishes no matter what. Originally, she had planned to release a little bit of the influence of the Barthelmero family.
result……
Is it going a bit smoothly, or even too smoothly?

War...
In the night, Victor looked at the panel that popped up almost as the dead apostles began to wreak havoc. He chuckled and looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh:
The Magic Association and the Church responded much faster than I expected.
As he spoke, he took a deep breath, then reached his hand into the basin in front of him, dipped it in the water, and put his face in.
The coolness penetrates my heart.
Victor has the habit of maintaining human living habits, such as brushing his teeth, washing his face, and scrubbing it carefully so that he doesn't have any dust.
Artluqi never understood the other party's behavior, especially when the other party was in high spirits and fully experienced the pleasure of being a "king". When she wanted to come back and share it with Victor as soon as possible, she found that the other party was actually washing his face seriously!
Hey, you guy...
This made Arteluqi's excitement pause for a moment, and she lost all interest.
"I really don't understand why you insist on doing this. Is it for the so-called anchor?"
"That's it."
Victor picked up the towel and followed Altruci out of the bathroom, saying disapprovingly, "This is a good way to always remember that you were once human."
"And remembering this helps me maintain my humanity and my respect for power."
He didn't notice anything, mainly because he was really tired today, so after casually explaining, he sent the princess out of the room and ordered her to leave without hesitation.
"My senses will monitor the surrounding situation 24 hours a day, so when you need me, just call me as always."
He is going to bed.
This is also the reason why I insist on sleeping in the second half of the night.
Hearing this, Artluqi looked at Victor with a complicated expression. Victor was sitting on the sofa, closing his eyes and dozing off without even closing the door. She snorted, turned around and disappeared into the night.
This has happened more than once or twice. Victor always takes a nap in the second half of the night. Artluchi, who likes to walk at night, has asked him to change his schedule more than once, but the answer he gets is always the same.
To remind myself that I was once a human being, a human being! A human being! ! ! !
What's so good about humans?!
In the darkness of night, Artluchi suddenly kicked over a statue in the castle corridor and became increasingly annoyed.
Behind him, Stulut lowered his head silently, looked at the white beast's raised head, and sighed helplessly.
"Every Dead Apostle has his own obsession."
Fu Fu yawned lazily and complained to Stu Lute: "At least, although Douglas is a little too obsessed with his past identity, it's not too strange after all."
……
Artluci was very dissatisfied. Perhaps that was how girls felt.
Victor didn't know all this, he only knew that his nap wouldn't last long.
Sure enough, less than five minutes later, an uninvited guest came into his room, which had not yet been closed.
……
"Humans..."
"I am as interested in those things as you are. However, my opinion is exactly the opposite of yours. In my eyes, they seem very weak."
A slow voice came from outside the corridor. Victor heard the voice before he saw the person. He opened his eyes and looked towards the door.
"I thought you would be eager to ask me about our next cooperation..."
After saying that, Victor looked at the figure walking in slowly, and said in silence, "You just walked up here like this?"
The person who came was Feim, but his actual appearance was different from what Victor had guessed. He was not a wealthy middle-aged man, but a handsome man with long golden hair tied into a ponytail and a wisp of bangs hanging down in front.
He was wearing a khaki evening suit, holding a valuable and very respectable gentleman's cane in one hand and a top hat in the other, placed on his chest.
A gentleman, a respectable, upper-class, aristocratic gentleman.
Victor was stunned.
The room where he and Artluki lived was naturally on the top floor of the entire castle, which was the third floor, while the other party had been on the second floor.
But no matter what, since it is a secret conversation, it is natural that even if you don't use familiars to hide your presence, you have to at least add some appearance and have some special effects when you appear, right?
Based on the pitch-black crow and the slightly fat figure, Victor initially guessed that the other party should have some shadow-related abilities, but the result was...
You just walked up here so casually?
"Evening strolls are a good habit." Hearing this, the respectable gentleman smiled softly, bowed slightly and said, "It's also a good start to talk about topics that appeal to the other person's taste."
"Indeed..." Victor paused when he heard this, and suddenly felt that the other party gave him a familiar feeling. Yes, it was the sense of control over the rhythm of the conversation.
However, even though he noticed this, Victor did not interrupt the topic.
He did not intend to dwell on this issue. Unlike Duke Baiyi, if he was simply trying to persuade Duke Baiyi, and both sides used different bargaining chips to force the other side to back down, then for Feim, he hoped to get along with him as a partner or even a friend.
Although... as a financial tycoon, the other party will definitely pursue profit above all else, Victor still wants to give it a try.
So, he asked curiously: "You think those ordinary people are weak? But from what I know, you are the most enthusiastic about investing in their ancestors."
"Haha, that's right." Feim heard it and looked around without hiding it. He said, "I really like investing in them."
He thought for a moment and said, "A pile of sand can make a tower."
“Little by little, a lot can be achieved.”
"A powerful force bursts out from a tiny body."
"In those respects, I admit they are strong."
As he spoke, Feim suddenly asked curiously: "Have you studied the light of technology?"
Victor was stunned when he heard this, then he laughed.
Isn’t this a coincidence? I have done more than just research... In the future where I come from, the light of technology is about to explode.
"I guess so." Victor nodded, and saw the other party suddenly smile, haha said: "I have also studied it."
He just glanced around and saw the semi-finished puppet materials on the bookshelf almost at a glance. He pointed over there and said simply: "It is obvious that you also have a good attainment in this area. Then our chat should be much easier."
He expressed his own opinion: "The light of science and technology is different from our ancient knowledge. It uses a more complex system that is more dependent on a certain base."
“Hmm…” Feim looked at Victor and found that he didn’t seem to have any doubts. He continued happily, “Humans call it ‘physics’. I gave it a name that is more suitable for the Age of Gods.”
"It's called the Great Mystery of Physics."
puff!
Victor, who had just taken a sip of black tea, almost spit it out.
"what happened?"
Feim was slightly stunned.
"No, nothing." Victor held the black tea and said helplessly and amusedly: "I want to ask, is there a great mystery in this world called Thus Spoke Zarathustra?"
"Hmm? Your Excellency the Magician is indeed very knowledgeable. There is indeed such a name in the ancient Age of Gods system, but it should have been lost long ago."
Really?
