"The incident of the Hongyue Castle being attacked has been raging in the Keene Continent. I have heard about it, but I only heard about it... I heard that the Dragon Zhan City leading to the Rainbow Valley and the road leading to the mountain have already passed. Disappeared, the entire area is isolated from the outside world, and more details are unknown. I really did not expect that this matter has become so serious that Lord Ace needs to move out. If the royal family evacuates, the people of Rainbow Valley What should we do?... Ah, I am talking too much again. If there is any offense in the words, please forgive me, Lord Jinqi." Princess Vanessa lowered her tone and tried to squeeze out a tone of apology.

"The royal family of the Rafael family did not evacuate the Rainbow Valley. Please don't listen to those nonsense, Princess. The Dragon Slaying City and its road to the mountain were sealed by the guardian prophet Alshah, just because of the dangerous ancient creature race in the valley. , It will take some time to clear it up. This matter is related to the life and death of Keen Continent, oh no, this matter is related to the life and death of the whole world—Lord Ace came to the Apocalypse King City just to ask for reinforcements from your fellow clansmen and jointly send troops to eliminate the scourge. After Princess Vanessa arrives in the Royal City, we can sit down and discuss together. After all, the Dolly family has always been one-hearted and generous, and I believe that when the Keen Continent is in trouble, they will help each other and advance together." Wells finally got a serious expression, righteous To explain.

Princess Vanessa immediately agreed with Lian and said yes, and the topic of the three of them then shifted to irrelevant daily chores, and the atmosphere became more relaxed and happy within a few sentences.

Several hours later, when the sky completely fell, everyone arrived at Tianqi King City.

Tianqi Outer City has a radius of several miles, the city is nearly oval, next to the tributary of the Shining River, and sits inside the crescent-shaped Tongtian Dangerous Mountain Tianhuan Mountain Range. The city wall is tens of feet high and built on the hillside. There are three gates in different shapes, controlled by the golden armored guards of the Royal Forest Army. The city gate on the west is located near the river, known as the Linhe Gate, which is exclusively for civilians to enter and exit, and there is a constant flow of people every day; to the east is the Royal Gate, which is connected to the Golden Avenue, and is exclusively for the royal family, high-ranking officials and dignitaries to pass through; The south is the Holy God Gate, the terrain outside the gate is flat, open and unobstructed, and an avenue can lead directly to the Holy God Hall, which is specially used for festivals or sacrificial processions, and is also used to welcome distinguished guests. This time, Vanessa's send-off team came, and it belonged to the distinguished guests. The marching team went straight to the south gate and went straight to the main hall.

The wide view along the way made Qingkong see the majesty and prosperity of that city in his eyes, and he was so amazed that he couldn't move his eyes away for a while. The gorgeous lights can be seen from a few miles away. A steeple-like building made of white jade towers into the sky and stands in the middle of the city spreading on all sides. According to the people beside you, that is the Holy Spirit Hall—enough to imagine the royal family. Respect for the Holy Spirit. After the sanctuary, there are many castles built among the stone walls. Several of them stand on the heights of dangerous peaks. It is said that you need to ride the griffins raised by the royal family to reach them.

As soon as you enter the city, you will be greeted by a lively atmosphere. Enthusiastic people throw petals of various colors into the air, and with the flashing of fireworks and salutes, they form a psychedelic beauty. There is a pleasant atmosphere in the noise, and the bustling beauty is in the night.

The welcoming teams standing on both sides, including the official team and the public, spread for several miles, and then gradually transitioned to the royal family's standardized welcoming team. Finally, the group came outside the auditorium of the Holy Spirit Hall, and the sending off team was blocked in the outer courtyard. Prince Johnny got off his horse and took the princess's left hand as a gentleman, and walked into the church with his hands, accepting the welcome of Keene's officials with his stride and chest high. King Terras sat on a dragon chair carved with a seven-headed dragon, Queen Claudia Rafal stood on his right, and Nibel Rafal stood on his left. Terras was reticent by nature, and he only expressed his welcome with a few words, but Nibel praised Princess Vanessa with long words, and Queen Claudia presented a tiara made of night pearls as a welcome gift .

After the ceremony, it was already late at night, and Princess Vanessa dragged her exhausted body back to her room to rest. But to Qing Kong's surprise, even though it was midnight, the princess still summoned her and Leoria to the room, saying that they had important matters to discuss.

"I plan to deliver this letter to King Terras tomorrow." After the two sat down in the room and Leoria briefly explained the origin of the letter, Vanessa shook the letter in her hand and said .

"It's really troublesome for you. With your help, this matter can go so smoothly." Clear Sky thanked immediately, and Leoria also echoed her thanks.

"This is what I promised you, and I will naturally try my best to do it. However, in order to ensure that there is no dangerous content in this letter, I need to read it myself before handing it in—this is why I asked you to come here, I hope you can accept this condition.”

Leoria and Qingkong immediately looked at each other.

Leoria said with some hesitation: "The letter with the ink pad destroyed...will the king believe it?"

"Of course he will believe it, because the envelope and the letter are the same paper, only folded to cover up the contents, and the ink pad will stick to the paper to maintain its shape even though the seal is broken. Besides, this is a letter blessed with miracles, when Terra Si will naturally understand when you get it." Her Royal Highness sat on the golden sofa chair, read and read the letter over and over again, and added, "The only reason I did this is because of personal safety, I'm not sure Whether the content of it will affect me... I believe that two smart people will understand my position."

Leoria fell silent, Qingkong was a little at a loss.

Seeing this situation, Princess Vanessa impatiently threw the letter on the coffee table in front of her, and said to Leoria: "If you disagree, then take this letter and leave the royal city immediately! Don't let me see you again." If the figure of bringing you into the royal castle without authorization is discovered, even I will be greatly affected."

Leoria finally sighed in compromise: "I understand." He raised his head, "Please examine the content of this letter."

The corners of Princess Vanessa's mouth curled up unconsciously, and while she gracefully reached out to pick up the letter, she said: "If this is really a letter blessed with miracles, if I am someone who is against it, I can't accept it at all. Open its seal."

While speaking, she had already tore apart the ink pad neatly and unfolded the letter paper.

"What did you say in the letter?" Seeing that Princess Vanessa's face suddenly became serious and ugly, Qingkong couldn't help asking.

The princess's hands began to tremble inexplicably, and then she slowly spread the letter paper on the coffee table and said softly, "Look for yourself."

Leoria and Qingkong immediately surrounded them, and saw a few simple words written on the letter paper—

The holy stone fell, the prophet was imprisoned,

At the seventh full moon, the evil dragon returns;

Outside the Rashomon Gate, the living beings are devastated,

There is only one death, there is death but no life.

"What does this mean?" Qing Kong understood seven points, but still had doubts.

But Princess Vanessa still couldn't help sitting on the sofa trembling, half-paid, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said tremblingly: "The worst thing is about to happen at last, the storm is coming..."

"Yeah, the storm is coming." Leoria sighed again, raised her head and looked out the window on the side of the room, "This world is becoming more and more real and terrifying."

-

Just after midnight, Leoria and Qingkong returned to their assigned rooms.

Lying on the fluffy goose feather quilt, Qingkong tossed and turned, reminiscing over and over again the ambiguous conversation between Princess Vanessa and Leoria.

As smart as she is, of course she can understand what they mean. If everyone doesn't want to talk too much, it will take some time to digest the content that is too informative.

As if infected by everyone's sighs, Qingkong sighed unconsciously before closing her eyes and forcing herself to fall asleep, and muttered in her mouth—

"Everyone is mortal."

-

A series of thunderclaps pierced the sky, indicating that another storm was about to strike, and the lightning illuminated the entire city, as well as the wilderness and rivers and mountains. The people closed the doors and windows one after another, preparing to hide in bed and sleep peacefully as soon as possible.

It's a pity that the clear sky just escaped into the dreamland. I didn't know that the night was dense and integrated with the dark clouds, and I didn't know that the lightning and thunderstorms swarmed as quickly as Princess Vanessa and Leoria predicted. Another scene, it was a dream related to Luna...
