"Yeah."
Rapel had just finished sucking the blood essence of Larsius, and was about to suck the blood essence of a few more Dragon Guard soldiers, and spent several days recovering from his injuries, when he felt someone touched him.
At the restriction in front of the castle gate, his expression changed, and light flashed in his sunken eye sockets.
He turned to look at the Dragon Guard soldiers who were tied to the wall, hesitated for a moment, then turned his body and disappeared.
When Raphael reappeared, he was already in an empty hall.
He walked to a platform.
On the platform was a golden basin half filled with water.
This was no ordinary water.
Raphael's claw-like palms touched the top of the golden basin.
The water in the golden basin rippled, and the picture gradually appeared.
A slender young woman with a cane appeared in the picture.
The familiar dress immediately appeared.
Let Raphael recognize who she is.
"Lilia," Rapel said in a cold voice, "You came here while I was injured.
Isn't it wrong?
No one knows about this except Larsius.
Her appearance must be an accident."
The soul fire in Rapel's sunken eyes kept flickering, and he quickly made a decision.
Instead of waiting for Lilia to come to him, it would be better to appear in front of her forcefully so that she could not figure out the reality.
Thinking of this, Raphael immediately used magic to disappear, and instantly appeared in front of Lilia who had just walked into the castle gate.
"Lilia, I think you want to break up with me, and you broke into my castle without my consent.
Do you want to start a war?"
Rapel said coldly, waving his large sleeves, and Gu Countless lights lit up in the castle instantly, and the oil lamps on the walls on both sides illuminated the entire long hall, but they could not dispel the cold atmosphere here.
Lilia was not surprised.
It would be weird if she walked in and Raphael didn't show up.
She giggled and laughed until her branches were shaking.
"Raphael, Raphael, I see that you are getting better and better, and you are actually trying to bluff in front of me.
I called at the door for a long time, but no one opened the door.
Of course, I am worried that something will happen to you, so Why did you just come in by yourself?
Do you want to start a war with me over this matter?"
"Huh?"
Raphael snorted coldly and stared at Lilia, motionless.
This woman was not a kind person, and he did not dare to be careless at all.
Lilia smiled sweetly, "When we meet old friends, you don't invite me to sit down, and you don't bring out your goodies to entertain me."
Rapel's deep-set eyes flashed with light, and she sneered: "Lilia, my place is so desolate that even a bird is not willing to rest here, there is nothing.
Don't do this with me, tell me, what do you want from me?"
thing" Lilia glanced at Raphael with her wand, and while walking inside, she looked at the murals on the walls on both sides and said, "I heard that the empress dowager in Constantinople is trying her best to restore the worship of icons.
Many icons began to be built in various places, and the pastors and priests of the church also actively cooperated and strongly supported her rule.
This is mutual benefit between them.
The shrewd empress dowager used her power to replace the archbishop as her confidant, offending many people in the church, but she also used this trick to win over the church's pastors and priests.
This trick She plays beautifully, with a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other.
Gee, even if I am a woman, I have to obey her."
Raphael frowned and said, "It's none of my business and none of your business.
Why do you worry so much about it?
The church is our sworn enemy.

Do you still expect the Empress Dowager to favor you?"
Lilia suddenly cursed angrily: "Are you a pig?
In the past, several emperors vigorously banned the worship of icons and destroyed many icons in various places.
Those in the church had no objects to worship and pray to, and their strength was greatly damaged.
Now they are beginning to recover.
If they worship icons, their strength will soon recover, which is a huge threat to us."
Raphael's brows kept twitching.
He turned around and looked at Lilia and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Lilia said: "The Empress Dowager Irina cannot control the sky with one hand in Constantinople.
There are many people who oppose him.
In the past two years, his son Constantine VI has grown up.
This little guy is eager to rule for himself. , officials and generals who opposed Irina naturally gathered around Constantine VI, and Irina took control of the power of the church , and the increasing power of the church poses a huge threat to us.
Do we just watch them increase their strength?
We must take action.
Since the church supports Irina, we will support the emperor.
Only in this way can we gain secular power and the church.
Compete, otherwise our strength will soon be suppressed by the church and we will not dare to raise our heads."
Of course Raphael understands this, but it is not easy to do it.
At least the power of the dark forces is too dispersed.
The church has always been united externally, especially when it comes to dealing with the dark forces.
It has always put aside its prejudices and united to the outside world. , and the dark forces are full of internal contradictions, mutual suspicions, and internal fighting.
It is almost impossible to gather the forces of the scattered dark forces.
Raphael is not a hot-blooded young man.
If he wants to gather all the forces of the dark forces together, only one person whose power is much higher than the others can suppress many dissatisfactions with unparalleled strength and forcibly unify the dark forces.
Contend with the church, otherwise everything will be empty talk, and Raphael thinks he does not have this ability, so he has no hope in this matter.
Raphael said: "You are just sorry for this.
I am not optimistic about this matter at all.
No one has the ability to suppress other dissatisfactions.
You want to take the lead.
Stop dreaming.
You can leave.
I will not accompany you." crazy" Lilia said coldly: "I think you are getting more and more afraid of death as you get older.
Do you think you will be fine hiding here?
Once the church's strength increases, they will look for us everywhere, catch us and burn us alive."
Rapel was unwavering, "I'm not interested in this matter.
We don't have to help the little emperor at all.
How old is Irina, and how old is the little emperor?
No matter how strong Irina is, she will die in front of the little emperor, so when the time comes In the end, the little emperor won.
You see, those ministers and nobles who supported Irina will be liquidated by the little emperor sooner or later.
As for the church, it will definitely be suppressed by the emperor."
The power of the church's pastors and priests can cause great threats and harm to people of dark forces, but it is completely ineffective against ordinary people.
Therefore, no matter how powerful the church is, as long as the emperor can still control the power, the church is in the hands of the emperor.
A knife, use it when you want to use it, sheath it when you don't want to use it.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Lilia suddenly became a little angry: "It seems that you are determined not to take my words seriously.
You have so much energy and blood.

There are other people here, and there are more than one." " Rapel's expression changed, and she immediately stopped Lilia who was about to search: "I am the only one in the castle, how can there be anyone else?
I think you are deliberately looking for trouble."
Lilia stared at Raphael and shook her head: "No, I have always been very confident in my nose, it will not deceive me.
You have ordinary people with strong blood here, and you actually want to hide them Get up and enjoy it alone, Raphael, you are so unkind.
I am your guest no matter what.
You are looking down on me.
I, Lilia, hate others looking down on me the most.
Anyone who looks down on me will die."
After saying this, he held the wand in his hand.
He waved at Raphael.
A white frost knife quickly slashed at Raphael.
Raphael knew Lilia very well and had been prepared for it.
He immediately waved his wand, and a black mist instantly condensed into a fist and hit the frost knife.
There was a "collision" sound, the Frost Blade and the Black Mist fist collided and exploded, each dissipated, but the generated air wave pushed both of them back a few steps before they stopped.
"Hmph, Lilia, this is not your swamp of despair.
I will never allow you to act arrogantly here," Rapel said coldly, staring at Lilia.
Lilia chuckled, and then joked: "Lapel, stop pretending.
When I came in, I saw a few pools of blood at the door.
If I guessed correctly, it should be yours.
You were injured.
And the injury is serious.
Even if you are not injured, you are not my opponent, and you who are injured are not my opponent."
Having said that, Lilia stopped talking, activated her magic directly, and shouted softly: "Die to me."
A huge white ice sword struck Raphael's head from above.
This move was definitely more than ten times more powerful than the previous move.
Raphael's face changed.
If he had not been injured, he could have taken this move.
One move, but after being injured, he couldn't take it at all But he had to catch it even if he didn't want to.
At this time, it was too late to use magic to dodge, so he could only resist the magic with magic.
He stamped the wand in his hand to the ground, and the snake head part of the wand spit out a black mist and turned into a broad sword to hold it.
The white ice sword is chopping down.
"Pfft" The huge collision force made Rapel no longer able to suppress the injuries in his soul, and he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"It's true that you are just pretending.
You are indeed injured."
Lilia laughed.
"Rapel, surrender to me, and I can spare your life, otherwise" "You want to kill me."
Raphael raised his sleeve and wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth.
"Don't even think about dying for me."
He raised his hand and punched Lilia.
The ruby ring on his ring finger suddenly suddenly An extremely bright red light was emitted, and this light hit Lilia instantly.
Lilia was completely knocked away and fell to the ground ten meters away with a plop.
The transparent gauze that shone on her head also fell to the side, and her delicate face turned extremely pale.
Lilia looked at the ruby ring on Raphael's ring finger in horror, and asked tremblingly: "The ruby ring of the legendary night witch Lilith" Raphael chuckled: "Lilia is really discerning, and she actually knows that the night witch Lilith's ruby ring is good.
This is the ruby ring.
You should easily become my first victim after I get it
