Outside Rusnina, a monastery stands quietly on the rugged hills, among the surrounding fortresses. It is a cage. Anyone who comes here can't leave. The eagle licking its wounds can't get rid of the shackles even if it stretches out its wings, let alone return to the sky where it soars. .

Little John, who had not grown his body, tried his best to tiptoe towards the canyon below the pass, staring at the height that would make his clone shatter. Since escaping from Constantinople, Little John’s uncle Simeon, who had defected to him, is now fifteen years old, so his uncle’s relationship in the army helped Little John get a helping hand in this pass. The soldier's messenger. However, in addition to the bare stone walls, there is a pair of cold faces of the soldiers, which is extremely dull and depressing. The life after the change of guard was equally bad. Every night, he served these arrogant veterans like a slave, and was beaten and scolded at every turn. Now he can guarantee that he doesn't show any expression when he is beaten, so that the veterans will not be interested in flogging an unresponsive dumb guy. Sometimes little John can’t help but want to follow the elder brother Justinian. Maybe he can smash all these disgusting things, this lifeless pass, this strange rocky wilderness. ...And the gloomy monastery behind him.

No one knows what’s locked there. Every evening, there will always be a man’s low chanting, but Little John finds that no one but himself responds to it. I don’t know if I didn’t hear it or not. Already used to it.

"The long dark night envelops your life. You can't hurt me, you can't hurt anyone who can see the sun."

"It is destined that you will not be ruined in my hands. Apollo has the power and he will accomplish this."

Only a voice chanting an ancient opera surrounds the monastery. This sound seemed to come from a crazy chanter who used the monastery as a stage for his one-man show, demonstrating his unparalleled talent to the gods.

In the gloomy monastery, there was nothing at this time, and only two men in purple robes were left looking at each other in silence-only one of them had an empty eye socket now.

Emperor Mikhail did not rest in Rusnina’s palace, but he was interested in coming to this monastery, which was full of corruption from the inside out, but he was not to pay homage to the dappled holy pictures here, but For the petty man in front of him-the nominally orthodox Roman emperor in Epirus today, Alex V.

"Is it King Opdis?"

"It's the King of Opudis."

"I miss it. The last time I heard it was when Constantinople had not fallen."

Mikhail Dukas stood up and said softly. He picked up a holy grail by the shrine behind him, rubbed the edge of the cup, and walked idly at Muzfius in front of him, as if he had been acquainted for many years. Old friend.

But obviously, Alex V would not think so. This is already the third year he has been under house arrest here. He understands that his name will not be mentioned in public in Epirus, and Will be forgotten in the near future. And every time this man appeared, it meant that he, the existence of Emperor Alexei V must be reduced by one point. Mikhail, the emperor of Komuninducas, came here for many reasons, but it is definitely not for reminiscence of the past.

"It's just a boring pastime, but now I can only remember these few sentences as much as I can." Emperor Muzifius said.

"No, no, this is already very rare." Mikhail shook his head, put the cup in his hand back into the distance, staring at the face of Alex V and slowly leaning down. The two men were close to each other, they almost stuck their faces together, neither of the two men spoke. Mikhail felt the breath of each other and the changes in every muscle on his face, and it took a long time to speak.

"Even if you were surrounded by the long dark night, you still did not succumb. Even if you were equally stunned, you did not accept the exile like Opudis. You are indeed worthy of my admiration. The true king is even being spun by Moira. At the mercy, you will definitely follow that thread and stab the sword in your hand into the heart of the goddess. And you are just such a person, your honorable majesty."

"I think you came here deliberately. The purpose of looking for me shouldn't be to compliment me, right?" Muzifius said coldly without a trace of fluctuation because of the other party's words.

Mikhail also anticipated that the opponent would react like this, and was not angry. Instead, his tone changed and he shook his head regretfully: "But unfortunately, the most tenacious eagle will one day fight the storm. If you break your wings in the middle, one day you will die in your own journey to pieces and become the leftovers of jackals and vultures."

"This is exactly the difference between an eagle and a jackal vulture. If it is just to come over to ridicule me, please come back, the co-ruling Emperor Mikhail! I will not agree to your request-I will never abdicate. Yes!" The emperor's voice looked like a bronze bell roaring in the monastery, and his answer also angered Mikhail Dukas, who wanted to have a good time.

"You better understand your own situation, Your Majesty Muzfius!" The man's voice also raised a few volumes, full of fierceness and evil, resounding through the entire hall, alarming the surrounding guards. Guards.

Mikhail let out a sneer and said, "Do you think the little boy you were counting on can really save you? Don't be kidding, even if he can do it, he will not deal with you in the end. What's the difference. What's more, he thinks that by colluding with my stupid brother, he can fight against me. He thinks that by calling on the blood of your wife and daughter, Angeles, he can sit firmly on Macedonia and Moria, but what he relies on All of this can be easily destroyed in my eyes."

"What do you mean?" He wasn't interested in the first half of Mikhail's words, but when the other party mentioned his wife and daughter, Muzfius showed the unstable mood swings for the first time, so long. It was the first time he heard about them in time.

However, Mikhail Dukas didn't care very much, and said to himself: "I was an illegitimate son, although I was my elder brother, I was destined to be the two of Theodore and Manuel, but I was not reconciled. , Because I knew that my talents surpassed them, so I made the decision for my confused father. I opened buds for my younger siblings and made Theodor think Manuel did it. And after Manuel was killed by the angry Theodore, I stood up and accused him. Thanks to this, I was able to stand out in Constantinople and completely suppressed my stupid brother Theodore. One. But what makes me most proud is that Agilena actually gave birth to a boy that day, and Theodor finally raised him by his side. Maybe he still apologizes to Manuel, who knows ! However, this extra ridiculous emotion finally sent him on Huangquan Road. I think soon, the farce in Agrinon will be completely over. Without the last support, the one named Justinian What else can the kid make?"

While talking, Mikhail's expression couldn't hide his pride~www.readwn.com~Even if Emperor Muzifius couldn't see it, he could still feel it from the tone of the other person's speech. This is not like a bluff, unless the other party is a talented performer, and as far as he knows Mikhail should not have this talent.

But compared to these Muzfeus, what is more worried about his wife and daughter at this time, trying to calm his mood, Alex V tentatively said: "Even so, Justinian still holds Thessalonian. Ka and Moria and the new army of thousands of troops, do you think I will just succumb to you like this?"

Seeing Muzifius' unwillingness to give up, Mikhail sneered: "Huh, your news is too late. Justinian went to Moria half a year ago to suppress the rebellion, and now he's a mess. Thessaloniki has no leader, and the coalition forces between me and the Bolgar are already gathering. Without the constraints of Agrinon, a Thessaloniki is within my reach. At that time, Your Majesty Muzfius, I I have to express my concern about the future prospects of Queen Odosia and your Royal Highness Helena!" Cold eyes replaced the previous pride, Mikhail Dukas looked at the emperor who was staring in front of him and waited calmly. He knew that he had reached this point, and the man in front of him would never let him down.
