Chapter 1414 The Pursuer
“Lord Quinteros, I am extremely honored by your enthusiasm.”
After covering her mouth with a fan and chuckling a few times, Malus, who was dressed up, was very happy. She soon became the focus of the field, and the consuls all came up to greet her one by one. And she was worthy of being the number one socialite in Comoros. She made the big shots in Comoros smile with just a few words.
After a while of greetings, Malus turned to Efreni.
“This is the Furious Blade Ifreni, my best and most outstanding daughter, and the queen of the arena who will soon replace Lylith Hespera!”
At a certain moment, almost all eyes were focused on Efreni, which made her very unnatural, but she still forced out a smile, turned up her skirt and bowed slightly to show her "etiquette".
"I have watched your competition. Although it is a bit immature compared to Lelis, it is not without a chance."
Lando Quinteros looked up and down at Ifre. Queen Ni clapped her hands, and then a waiter came over.
The consul said to the waiter:
"Register me ten thousand blood-thorn roses."
The blood-thorn rose is a unique flower native to Comoros. It only grows near the Arena and the Nightmare Shrine. It is rumored that it was formed by the sweat dripping from the body of Kane the Bloody. This flower is not only covered with thorns on the stem, but also on the petals. It is also a spike that can pierce the carapace, but its most special feature is not that.
Whenever there is a duel between the ruling succubi of two sects, supporters of each other will buy this kind of flower and throw it on the field at the beginning. Therefore, which side has more flowers means that the supporters are more powerful. At the same time, after the flower starts, the air flow will blow these flowers all over the place.
The two strongest duellists fight among the flowers in the sky, surrounded by spikes. This is true art and enjoyment for the Dark Eldar.
Of course, this kind of flower is not cheap. Basically, one flower is the cost of a low-level Dark Eldar clan for a year.
With the Archon taking the lead, others followed suit.
"Ms. Everenne!"
Suddenly, a member of the conspiracy, Dracula, stood up. He was not wearing a helmet, and his face was covered with a piece of black cloth covered with runes. Only a pair of hot boots were exposed. Eyes, but Ifreni didn’t quite remember this person.
"Please accept my five hundred gold-pink roses!"
Although the Dark Eldar do not talk much about love, they still have a basic marriage system. Usually the token of marriage proposal is gold-pink roses. But this kind of flower is more precious than the Blood Thorn Rose, because Comorragh does not produce this kind of flower at all, and only a few virgin worlds still cultivate it, so it must be imported from the Wild Eldar at a high price.
What the other party said was almost a direct expression of love. Before Ifreni could speak, Malus smiled coquettishly.
"Master Caladan is such a sweetheart."
It was then that Ifreni remembered that this Levi Caradan was the youngest son of the Archon of the Thirteen Whispers conspiracy. The Cabal is a very mysterious and powerful cabal. Their members always cover their faces and have close contacts with Manderai. Therefore, when they raid, they will always walk with the shadows accompanied by the cold blade and the terrifying cold eyes.
Males attaches great importance to her relationship with this conspiracy group, so she is also hinting to Efreni not to refuse. Efreni also remembered some of this guy's behaviors.
She always felt that this bastard seemed to have some problems in his heart. He hardly spoke, but he spent a lot of money in the arena, and always secretly placed gifts wherever she passed, and sometimes when she went out. He followed her and spied on her.
Although she was disgusted in her heart, Malus was by her side after all. In desperation, Ifreni could only take a shallow breath and said to the other party with a smile:
"Thank you."
Levi Carradine nodded with trembling shoulders, and then retreated into the crowd.
"Is five hundred flowers a lot?"
Suddenly, an arrogant voice sounded, and Levi Carradine turned his head, his dark eyes suddenly filled with murder and anger.
A young man who was considered very handsome by the standards of the Eldar came out. Ifreni also recognized this person. He was the most memorable of all her suitors.
Heir to the Giles family, Carson Massey.
As one of the few surviving old nobles in Comoros, the Giles family is best at doing business and is therefore very wealthy. After watching Ifrenie fight several times, Carson Massey became madly infatuated with this temperament and temperament. Other girls who are completely different from witch spirits and succubus, one-fifth of the arena's income comes from him.
The most exaggerated time was when he was jealous of Valosian, the chief executive of the Black Heart Cabal. The two smashed gifts and flowers like crazy, directly breaking the arena record. If his father hadn't been afraid of angering the Black Heart Cabal, Thus stopping him, Valosian really couldn't compete with him.
Carson Massey glanced contemptuously at Levi Carradine, whose anger was visible to the naked eye, then turned back to look at Ifreni and said with a smile:
"A thousand gold-pink roses , I hope you can accept it, Ifreni, and after the victory, I will fund the largest parade around the city in Comoros!”
Efreni nodded slightly and said a little tiredly:
"Thank you for your kindness and blessings, Carson Marcy." Soon, the banquet officially began, and Malus was with the consuls. circle, and Ifreni was surrounded by many young nobles and high-ranking consuls of Comoros.
This attitude of being surrounded by stars did not make Efreni happy, because she knew that these people's attentiveness to her was not out of admiration at all, they were just greedy and wanted to Make her your own and show off to those around you.
In a sense, they are not even as good as the ape who took risks to save Veronica.
But she had to deal with these people with a hypocritical attitude, which made Efreni even more tired of Commorragh.
Just when she was reluctantly coping, she suddenly sensed a certain line of sight, so she searched the hall with her peripheral vision.
Soon, she saw half a figure behind the shadow of a pillar not far away.
It seemed like a nightmare, but the color of the armor was a rare red, and the armor was covered with many different faces, which was very strange.
However, judging from the gorgeousness of the armor, Ifreni guessed that the other party should be a bishop, but she could not remember which nightmare bishop she was familiar with.
Could it be a bodyguard of a certain consul?
For some reason, even though there were so many people between them at a certain distance, Ifreni could sense that the other person was looking at her. That kind of gaze made her vaguely familiar, but she couldn't tell.
The point is, why does he keep looking at himself?
Perhaps realizing that Ifreni had noticed him, the Nightmare Bishop loosened his clenched fists, turned around and disappeared into the shadows.
Efreni was still confused, but she was immediately overwhelmed by the overwhelming praise. Now that the competition was about to begin, she had no time to explore this, so she could only put it down for the time being.
The bishop moved like a ghost along the edge of the noisy hall, almost unnoticed by anyone, until he left the hall through the side door and entered the corridor leading to the outside world.
But he had just walked a few steps when the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground suddenly sounded in the corridor, making him stop.
A moment later, Malus, who was gently swinging her folding fan, entered the corridor from the side with elegant steps, and swept her charming eyes over the Nightmare Bishop.
“It’s so boring in there, Bishop of Thousand Faces?”
The Nightmare Bishop, who was called Thousand Faces, remained motionless and stared at Malus.
After a while, a hoarse and cold voice came from under the helmet.
"Males, you don't have to play your tricks in front of me."
"Haha, how dare I play tricks with the 'Thousand Faces' who is known as the unforgiving man? It's just that .How about we go for a walk in the garden?”
“Not interested.”
“Tsk, don’t be so reclusive, Ifreni doesn’t like that kind of coldness either. of——”
"Shut up!"
The Nightmare Bishop clenched his fists suddenly, murderous intent pouring out of his body, causing Malus to take a step back subconsciously.
But then, she still had that iconic smile on her face.
"Calm down your anger. I just have something to discuss with Lord Qianmen. This also concerns Efreni. After all, you should know better than anyone else that she can't deal with that blade rose at the moment."< br>
“You arranged the fight! If anything happens to her——”
"Yeah, I arranged it, so I will naturally ensure her safety, but you have to do me a little favor."
As he said that, Malus glanced left and right, and then smiled Said:
"Shall we go to the garden to talk? By the way, I just went to meet your archbishop two days ago."
"You met him."
Thousand-faced There was some change in the voice, and Malus walked past him waving her fan, as if she was sure that the other party would follow her.
After the Nightmare Bishop was silent for a moment, he finally turned around and followed the opponent.
