Chapter 423 The Gift of the Crown Prince of Trabzon
In the palace, the hall where guests are received is still relatively simple because it is a temporary palace.
The maids can only try their best to put some flowers such as tulips in the rooms of this white house to increase the nobility of the rooms.
However, the Trabizon Despot is actually similar. Anyway, they are just fragments and survivors of the Eastern Human Empire.
Sunan looked at the crown prince sitting opposite him.
The person in front of him was a middle-aged man, wearing gilded aristocratic clothing, and with a pair of gold-framed eyes. His eyes seemed to have been injured, and there was a knife wound on the left corner of his eye.
And it was no ordinary knife wound, there was curse magic left on it.
It still seems like a curse that deprives you of your eyesight.
Antoninus Komnenos was also sizing up Sunan. The pure-blood Komnenos family possesses the most powerful super-intuition. Even the second- and third-level wizards of many prophecy schools cannot compare with them in the field of short-term prediction of the future.
Therefore, the Komnenos family is also very aware of current affairs.
Antoninus looked at Sunan and swallowed. Although he was not a wizard, he vaguely sensed the symbol of Sunan's magic power in the secret world.
Under the sun and moon, the chaotic abyss as terrifying as a demon is Sunan's true form in the secret world at this moment.
'If I am angered, the young man in front of me...' Antoninus thought: 'I will die! ’
Antoninus took the initiative to stand up and bowed to Sunan, "Dear His Majesty the Emperor, you and your empire have taken on a new look. I believe that the future will get better and better."
"I came here to see you this time because the autocratic Duke of my country and I have an important matter to discuss with you."
He clapped his hands and summoned the envoys he would bring over to deliver the gifts to Sunan.
Sunan nodded slightly to him, but felt a little puzzled in his heart, and was talking to the illusion of the snake god that Antoninus could not see.
Melkat said to Sunan: "Look at that Komnenos, his blood is pure enough. If we take him down, how many arcane super-intuition rings can be made!"
"Start quickly!"
"Su Nan, haven't you recently acquired a lot of new magic techniques from that pervert Caspian? I think it's time to upgrade your arcane super-intuition ring."
Sunan was depressed. ‘Although I can take him down directly, his trip was aboveboard and courteous. I can't take action directly. ’
'That makes me look like a bad person. ’
‘I just hope that this guy is arrogant and domineering and makes mistakes in front of me. As long as he makes a mistake, I will have a reason and can take him down immediately. It's a pity that the blood of Komnenos gave him powerful super intuition. He must have felt something, and he was very respectful in front of me. ’
Before Sunan came here, he had already privately inquired about Mr. David, an old nobleman from Nicomedia. He knew that envoys from Trabizon were generally not too respectful when they came here, and sometimes they would deliberately cause trouble.
But unexpectedly, today the crown prince Antoninus Comnenus would show special respect to him.
Sunan squinted at the huge iron cage that was moved into the room by Trabzon's envoys. "What is this, Prince Antoninus."
Antoninus always felt that Sunan seemed to be expecting something, so he was even more stressed. "This is our Despot of Trabzon, a strange beast dedicated to the new emperor."
The messengers removed the red cloth covering the iron cage.
In the iron cage, there was a strange rabbit as big as an adult, with black body and purple teeth.
Moreover, there is an obvious aura of the energy world in this rabbit's body.
Antoninus said to Sunan: "This is a strange beast that our despot has recently captured. To be honest, there are more and more such strange beasts in Trabzon."
"We came here this time to discuss with the Nicomedia Empire how to deal with these more and more strange monsters that have appeared on the earth recently..."
"Your Majesty, this monster can even speak human language."
Sunan walked around the iron cage and looked at the rabbit.
The rabbit was eating a carrot and seemed harmless to humans and animals. But the moment Sunan approached the iron cage, it suddenly opened its big mouth full of barbs and bit at Sunan, barking and roaring.
The high-quality cage made of fine iron was slightly bent due to this.
The rabbit hit the iron railing and almost turned the cage over.
The guards in the living room heard the sound and rushed in immediately, raising their swords and shields, trying to protect Sunan and isolate Sunan from the rabbit.
The leader of the guard, a native of Nicomedia, looked angrily at Antoninus. "People of Trabzon, you actually offer this kind of gift to His Majesty. What do you want to do?"
Antoninus was inexplicably flustered, and immediately saluted Sunan politely and explained: "Your Majesty, this is a monster that Trebizond spent a lot of soldiers' lives to capture alive. Although it is dangerous, it is indeed noble."
"That's why I have to dedicate it to His Majesty."
"We, the people of the Eastern Human Empire, have the habit of watching gladiatorial arenas, chariots and water battles. Therefore, I would like to present you with ferocious beasts..."
Su Nan glanced at him and nodded slightly. "Nothing."
"And this thing can't actually be called a living thing."
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers and envoys in the living room felt a chill, as if the rabbit was some kind of ferocious beast.
Su Nan looked closely at the rabbit in the iron cage, suddenly stretched his hand in, grabbed the rabbit's big mouth full of fangs, pulled it, and then used his right hand to gather magic power, turned it into a blade, and cut open the rabbit. forehead.
I saw that what was left on the panicked and confused Rabbit's forehead was not blood, but a kind of black energy erupting outward.
"This is an evil thing polluted by the evil energy of the energy world that has invaded our world."
"Half flesh and blood creature, half energy creature."
"So there are some characteristics of life on the main material plane, but there are also characteristics of creatures in the energy world. Moreover, the energy in the energy world is particularly aggressive, so this kind of evil thing is extremely hostile to life."
Sunan thought deeply. Being able to see such a thing on the main material plane proved that the energy world's invasion of the main material plane had gone a step further.
But I, a mere second-level wizard, have no ability to deal with this kind of thing for the time being.
The Seven Kings have laid out plans for more than two thousand years. If you go too far to disrupt their plans, they will probably take action directly and kill you personally.
It's just a matter of how much they want to pay.
Therefore, the most I can do is occupy Asia Minor and the Kingdom of Storms, two territories, as outposts, where I can collect resources from the main material plane, and then wait and see what happens.
While he was talking here, Warwick and Vasilian were campaigning in the east over the remaining small areas of Asia Minor to recover all the territory that Nicomedia had lost over the years.
In the Rye Underground Domain, the war against the middle underground domain led by Jinx is also in full swing.
Through these two wars, he must gather the resources he needs to build a wizard tower covering the werewolf plane in all directions.
Sunan let go of the evil rabbit's mouth. At this time, the rabbit seemed to have become very scared. It no longer showed its teeth and claws, nor roared. Instead, it huddled in a corner of the iron cage and looked at Sunan with fear. The evil rabbit occasionally shouted in fear to Sunan: "You have killed the supreme lords!"
Sunan knew that it meant that he had personally killed high-ranking lords in the energy world.
Sunan looked at it with interest. "The evil energy in the energy world can actually make ordinary animals speak and bring wisdom."
"The basic combat power of this rabbit is close to that of a knight."
"In the future, more and more monsters like this will appear in this world."
As expected, it is the power of the world that brings fear and countless invasions to the heavens of the void.
Sunan looked at Antoninus Komnenos and said, "Go back. It is of no benefit to me to cooperate with you to fight against these monsters."
"Antoninus Comnenus."
"You'd better be prepared. There will only be more and more monsters like this in the future. Weak countries have no chance of surviving in the troubled times in the future."
Antoninus was caught off guard. Originally, when he was on a mission, the emperor of Nicomedia was still Michael VIII, but when he arrived at the capital of the Nicomedia Empire, he suddenly found that even the emperor had changed.
All Nicomedia, in many places, was in flames and ruins.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The scale of the war was beyond his imagination.
But at this moment, when he met the new emperor, he found that the other party seemed to have no intention of cooperating with Trabzon.
Antoninus Komnenos said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it is not only the creatures on land that have mutated, but also the creatures in the sea."
"Recently, the coastlines of our two countries have been attacked by many monsters."
"If we don't cooperate, how can we prevent these monsters from harming our people."
Sunan turned around, and the golden-white glow of the Law Book appeared on his forehead.
Antoninus Komnenos was stunned.
The one favored by God!
The new emperor of the Nicomedia Empire will actually be the one favored by the gods!
Antoninus Komnenos saluted Sunan again, but this time, he knelt down on one knee.
If Sunan was only the emperor of the Nicomedia Empire, then as the crown prince of a classified autocratic state, he really did not need to treat Sunan as a subordinate.
But the problem is that the Torah Church is a universal church and also has strong interference in Trabzon.
Antoninus Comnenus himself was a believer in the Lord of the Law, and he was a member of the God-man family of the Lord of the Law. How could he oppose his own church?
Except for that idiot Michael VIII.
Antoninus became more respectful towards Sunan. "Great God's Favored One, I know that your existence is the Lord of the Law's best response to our country."
"No wonder you were able to seize power within a few days."
"The Komnenos family also needs your rule."
After Antoninus knew that Sunan was the one favored by God, he based on his super intuition and did what was most suitable for the situation at the moment.
"Dear Lord God's Favorite, if I go back this time and convince my father, can I allow Trabizon to return to the empire as a member of the kingdom?"
The core area of Trabzon is on the northeastern coast of Asia Minor. The overall map is like a long and narrow snake.
Sunan nodded.
The land in Trabzon is not large, so it would be nice if they could return voluntarily.
It can only be said that the pure-blood Komnenos can always rely on super intuition to make judgments that are most suitable for the situation and their own interests.
I really don't want to turn the empire into a centralized system for the time being, which will greatly increase my administrative work. And now it is very likely that I will not be in the main material plane for a long time.
On the contrary, ruling the Nicomedia Empire with a feudal system that enhanced the royal power system would not only reduce one's workload, but also allow the empire to have a strong continuity of existence when it was not on the main material plane.
Anyway, the health bar of the Empire will be thicker.
Sunan looked at Antoninus Komnenos, and finally couldn't help it, and said: "Antoninus, let's make a deal. I'll help you cure your blindness, and you give me some blood. 400ml is enough."
With his current magical power and 400ml of pure Komnenos blood, he might be able to make about six arcane super-intuitive rings.
Antoninus Komnenos was stunned for a moment, and then he used his super-intuitive ability to determine that if he completed the transaction, not only would he not be in danger, but there would also be great benefits.
But on the contrary, if he refuses, he will be in considerable danger.
Antoninus said: "Your Majesty, it is my honor to complete the transaction with you."
Sunan smiled and said, "By the way, Antoninus, have you heard of a person's name - Rachel Comnenos?"
Antoninus looked thoughtful, and he replied cautiously: "There are many people with the same name in this world, but there are those with the same surname of Comnenus..."
"I guess you are talking about that woman."
Sunan originally just asked casually, but who knew that Antoninus really knew. "I remember Rachel Komnenos as just a half-breed Komnenos."
Antoninus stood up from the ground. Ever since he knew that Sunan was a favored one by God, his attitude toward Sunan had become much closer. "That's true. Rachel Komnenos' father was a commoner and her mother was my aunt."
"Back then, her parents died tragically because the Komnenos were from a family of gods and could not intermarry with commoners. At least they had to marry nobles who were also members of a family of gods. Therefore, her parents died tragically."
"And Rachel disappeared. She was nine years old before she disappeared."
"It is said that before she disappeared, she told the housekeeper in her bedroom one night that she made a wish to the night, and some existence outside of the night actually responded to her."

"When she comes back again, she will take revenge on the world and make the world pay the price it deserves."
"Your Majesty, have you ever met my cousin? I really feel sorry for her."
"Now is different from before. After this incident, the Komnenos family reflected on it, and after my father took charge of the Komnenos family, they became extremely relaxed about this matter."
Antoninus said to Sunan: "Your Majesty, if you can see my cousin, if you are willing, you can tell my cousin that the Komnenos family is no longer the same as before. If she comes back, she will be treated as Treated like family.”
Sunan shook his head slightly and glanced at him.
I'm afraid it's too late.
Su Nan suddenly remembered what a warlock who once died in his hands said - 'It was never the energy world that actively invaded the main material plane, but the painful mortals on the main material plane who summoned the energy world. ’
