"The road to the dragon?" The other three people looked at each other.
This is an unexpected verdict.
In addition to the bloodline of existing dragon descendants in the Holy Wing Islands, there is also a way to be promoted to a dragon—or in other words, it is also the source of the earliest growth of the dragon descendants.
That is the Denglong Tower located on the western outskirts of Hilla City.
Its history is even older than that of the royal capital. It is rumored that the builder of this tower was the sun god Hera. It only allows those with demons to enter. After going through some challenges, those with demons have the opportunity to gain the ability to transform into dragons and become new dragonborn. However, the consequences of failure in the challenge range from death, serious injury to insanity. In addition, more and more demon-loving people are joining the mage tower. In the past ten years, almost no one has been interested in climbing the Dragon Tower.
Mayne nodded slightly, "Although there has never been a precedent for a dragonborn to enter the Dragon Climbing Tower again, the dragonborn is essentially a demon holder and will not be rejected by the tower. In a moral sense, transforming into a dragon has the potential to regain a new life. Meaning, it means that Taksis is willing to make a cut with her past self. In terms of punishment, this tower may be life-threatening for ordinary demon possessors, but it is much less for Yongyi, who is already a dragonborn. . Even if her magic ability is sealed, the strength of her body is still there. She may suffer a lot, but there will not be any fatal damage. What do you think?"
"Sounds like there's nothing wrong with it." Bolton said, stroking his hands before the other two people could speak. "As expected of Ms. Mayne, who is in charge of the collection, she can actually come up with such a compromise. Climbing the dragon is the most important thing to the world. It is both a challenge and an honor, and such a verdict should not frustrate Taksis’s character too much.”
Seeing what the archbishop said, Sedaro and Alek no longer expressed any objection.
After all, Taksis is a presiding judge who has experienced hundreds of battles. Both her personal ability and combat experience are far superior to those of ordinary Qi sensers. Taking the journey to the dragon once is indeed a good training everywhere.
The most important thing is that this challenge has a very high status among non-dragon believers. If Taksis can successfully complete it, the controversy about her will probably subside a lot.
"Since everyone has no objections, it's settled." Bolton said, "But as Alec said, letting the God of Hera come to Shira is the top priority right now. I hope everyone will do a good job. get ready."
"Don't worry," Sedaro nodded. "The Judgment Team will temporarily clear out all the Mage Tower members in the capital to ensure that they cannot secretly cause trouble on the day of the ceremony."
"I have collected all the magic materials here." Alec calmly continued, "The new Mystical Lock Technique is enough to turn half of the upper city into a divine place."
"Very good, then the plan remains unchanged. We will officially hold the Advent Ceremony in a week." The Archbishop said word by word.
…
On the other side, Xia Fan finally had a general understanding of Princess Muye's situation after listening to Feleyton.
This matter actually has to start with the political system of the Holy Wing Islands.
After the rise of the Church of Hera, it gradually squeezed the power space of the royal family. The new king needed to be recognized by the Pope. It was not until the arrival of the god a hundred years ago that the reputation of the church reached its peak, thus promoting the unity of politics and religion. The church manages the affairs of the islands, including the command of the army.
As of today, there is no official king of the Holy Wing Islands, or the lord of Sheila is the past king. For example, the current Grand Duke of Silver Scales is a bloodline passed down from the royal family. He is very close to the church and is also in charge of some affairs of the Kingdom of the Islands. Even his team has inherited the royal family's practices, such as the ministers and the royal family. The Prime Minister is complete, second only to the Pope in status.
But because they were so far away from the king after all, the Yinlin family did not live in the palace. The forbidden area of the palace that was once located in the northern suburbs of Shila is now... still a forbidden area, but it has been transformed by the church into a luxurious prison for imprisonment. Some special characters.
These "prisoners" are either distinguished or have extraordinary abilities. They belong to a category that cannot be treated casually, but it is necessary to ensure that they will not disappear suddenly. For example, the marshal of Oceania who is worth tens of millions of gold, the illegitimate son of the royal family of Shazhou, etc... For some people, the church does not even want them to have the negative emotions of being imprisoned. Not only are they served by attendants on weekdays, and the food and wine are never interrupted, but also Going out for a stroll on a regular basis can definitely be considered a generous treatment.
In other words, none of the people imprisoned here are real criminals.
Princess Muye is one of them.
"You even know that there is an illegitimate child from the royal family?" Li shook his ears.
"I said that all this information was obtained with money and blood." Felayton showed a wry smile, "These words you have heard, if you reveal just one or two words, it will cause an uproar. In fact, most people We had no idea that the palace prison existed, because from the outside it looked as vibrant and royal as ever.”
"The church also knows how to save resources." Xia Fan joked, "So Princess Muye is now worshiped by the church?"
"How is it possible?" Feleyton shook his head. "With my master's innate strength, as long as she has the opportunity to leave the palace area, no one can stop her. In fact, she is imprisoned in the deepest part of the palace and is subject to Due to the restriction of the bloodline spell, you will not be able to leave the palace even one step."
"This restriction was set by the ethnic group that also possesses original blood?" Li guessed.
"Yes, it has the same principle as the Key of the Zodiac. It must be unlocked by the highest-level vampire." Felayton's tone became a little solemn, "In fact, the person who set up this restriction is the current Nata Ting. Emperor - Talius. Frost."
"The king of Natadine came to Shira, but the church didn't kill him on the spot?"
"He was not the king at that time." Feleyton also said with a slight regret, "And Talius came here on the opportunity of signing the armistice agreement, which was regarded as a formal diplomatic visit. At that time, he was also traveling with the huge Nasdaq. The Tranquility Sea Fleet and a large group of high-level vampires, I guess the Church of Hera doesn’t want to turn the royal capital into a piece of white ground.”
"So the role played by Princess Mu Ye is actually the hostage of the armistice agreement?" Xia Fan suddenly felt that this emperor was quite capable. He secretly imprisoned his elder sister in the capital of the archipelago, which not only greatly increased the credibility of the agreement It also eliminates the threat of competitors, so that they can free up their hands to attack the World Island and take a solid step towards the expansion of the empire. It can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone.
"This is a naked murder, and it was done under the condition of deceiving all the citizens of Natadine!" Felaiton said bitterly, "Most people still don't know that their beloved eldest princess is now actually Become a prisoner of the flying lizards!"
