The plan of Pernleus has not changed much. It just needs to be divided into two groups. Because he is always followed by cultists along the way, it is obvious that the infiltration of Zegus Kingdom is very serious, so Pernleus will take Princess Haidee with him. The token went directly to the royal capital to contact the princess's ministers, while the saints were temporarily stationed in the Bluebell territory to wait for news about the earl's son, Patel.
If there is no news about Patel within the time after Perenlius sends back the message, then the saints will escort the princess to the royal capital quietly to start planning.
The Saints did not comment on Pernleus's behavior of putting himself in danger, but Grand Knight Captain Bellum raised the difference. After all, in the eyes of the Grand Knight Captain, whether it was Perenlius or the five saints, The fighters are all outsiders. No matter how much Princess Haidee trusts them, Bellum still thinks that there should be trustworthy people in the Zegus Kingdom to handle this matter.
'Is there anyone else who is 100% trustworthy in Bluebell Territory? '
However, Haidee's words left Bellum speechless. Now the Bluebell Territory is leaderless, having been infiltrated by cultists before, and Bellum can't guarantee that he can find an absolutely loyal one. Candidate.
Haidee now has absolute trust in Pernlius, and in terms of form, she cannot distrust him. Although Pernlius's identity is mysterious, at least he is definitely not a cultist, and he also has enough wisdom and strength to completely Taking on this task may even be better than doing it yourself.
By now, Grand Knight Captain Bellum has probably known some things. The princess was attacked, cultists infiltrated the Kingdom of Zegus, and some members of the royal family colluded with cultists. Any of these things is a serious matter, and Now, after the opponent fails to attack Princess Haidee, it is very likely that he will directly squeeze out the entire Zegus Kingdom before the arrival of the Holy City, and then leave the Zegus Kingdom in turmoil and chaos.
This assassination of the Bluebell Territory and Count Raymond is probably the prelude to the entire operation. The only thing the princess can do now is to put the entire country under martial law before the other party takes action, and then clear it through the Holy Capital. Cultists, simply put, are a coup!
It is usually very taboo to mention the word 'coup' when it comes to nobles and lords who are in high positions. After all, it is a game where one's wealth and one's life are put on the line. If it were the past, then one would not be too fond of participating in it. The Grand Knight of political matters would not approve of Earl Raymond's participation in this kind of gamble that could lead to prosperity or death. But now the assassination incident has shown that the other party regards the entire Bluebell territory as something that must be eliminated, and there is no other choice but to follow the princess and take this gamble.
If the cultists really win, it will be unclear whether the entire Zegus Kingdom can continue to exist, let alone the Bluebell Territory.
Bellum has something on his mind, but the most important thing now is to find Master Patel first. During these times, the guards originally sent out to look for the young master were dispatched back. After investigation, many strange faces and people with suspicious identities appeared. Just as the man named Peenlius thought, the other party was indeed preparing to Kill and silence.
"Then let's use the mirror spell to communicate. Is there a water mage in the Bluebell territory who can use this spell?"
"There is a mage who can. I will entrust him." Bellum thought for a while and said.
Due to time constraints, Pernrius planned to leave today. However, before making final preparations, Elcid found Pernrius and took out something in the hope that Pernrius could help him take a look.
"This is a communication magic device - a new magic device that I have never seen before. Are you carrying it?" Peenlius asked after looking at the magic device handed over by El Cid.
"Do you know how to use this thing?"
"certainly."
Upon hearing this, El Cid immediately explained: "I tried using it in the city called Qom where we first met, but something seemed to go wrong. No matter how I used it, there was no signal, only some strange signals. Noise, I don’t know if I’m using the wrong method or if this thing is malfunctioning.”
Speaking of this, El Cid also carefully took the complete set of user manuals that Yalin gave him to Perenlius to read. The other party looked at it without saying anything, and began to observe the communication magic device.
The problem with the magic device has been bothering El Cid. None of the five of them can understand the working principle of this thing, and they don't know whether it is broken or whether they are using it in the wrong way. Now that they see Perenlius, it seems He also knew some things about magic, so he quickly took out the magic device to see if the other party could help him fix it.
After observing it for a while, Pernrius returned the magic device: "It's broken. The magic crystal and engraved circuit inside were damaged due to overload."
"So┉┉can it be fixed?"
"I have never seen this brand new communication magic device. It will take a lot of time to understand the internal structure to repair it, but I don't have the time now. If you are willing to give this magic device to me temporarily. I can Take the time to see if it can be repaired. To be honest, I am also very interested in this new construction and legal technology. ”
El Cid expressed his helplessness. After all, this magic weapon was given by Yalin, and it must be carried with him regardless of whether it can still be used. Otherwise, damage is one problem, and if it is lost, it is another problem.
Regarding the departure of Pernrius, in fact, for some reason, El Cid had a vague feeling that it was not as simple as helping Princess Haidee contact the people in the royal capital. Pernrius seemed to be deliberately avoiding the people in the holy capital. The paladin Felin and the knights of the Holy City are traveling overnight and are expected to arrive at the Bluebell Territory in two days.
And just waiting for El Cid and others to rest temporarily in the restless territory of Zegus Kingdom. Behind them, another team of people sent by Yalin to search for the Star Children also quietly entered this troubled country.
The white dragon Alexis, entrusted with the order of Yalin, embarked on the journey to the west of the continent with the dark elf Selian who also has the power of the Star Child. Compared with the Saints who are just looking for traces of the Star Child, in The initial order Alexis received was to try to bring the Star Child back after finding him. If it was impossible to bring him back, he must ensure that the Star Child would not be coveted by other forces.
Celiane, who could sense the Star Child, was by her side, and she also held a magic device that could automatically identify the Star Child's location. Alexis took Celiane with her along the way, or escorted Celiane and followed her quietly. Behind El Cid and others, but compared to the Saint Seiya, Alexis, as a dragon, does not need to forge any identity documents. The dragon's flying ability can move unimpeded in the sky, but considering that the Holy City After all, it was the territory of the Emerald Green Dragon and the Dragon Alliance. After entering the sphere of influence of the Holy City, Alexis still had to return to her human form and put on the 'Sincere Deception' before moving forward step by step.
Although she slept in the open air along the way, the dragon's powerful physique made Alexis feel fine. Selian had experienced a lot of hard training after becoming a priest of the Holy City, and she was already used to it.
After entering the sphere of influence of the Holy City, although Alexis tried her best to avoid crowds and towns along the way, there were still situations where evasion was inevitable, at least when she needed to go directly to farther areas. The transportation system in the town, and in some towns, when Selian saw the temples that believed in the five supreme gods, she couldn't help but have some thoughts in her heart.
Selian really wanted to run to the temple at all costs to expose Alexis' identity as a dragon, but when she thought about her companions being held hostage in the Yanold Mountains by the White Dragon King Yalin, Not only that, the soul contract in his body also tightly bound him. Before setting off, the White Dragon King Yalin gave himself an order to obey Alexis. It was precisely because of this order that the soul contract in his body was bound to him along the way. Just carry out the order faithfully.
Selian, who originally thought that she might find some loopholes in the contract after staying away from the White Dragon King Yalin, sadly discovered that Alexis had replaced Yalin as her new master. The compulsory contract in Selian's own body The power made the dark elf girl suffer a lot along the way. Selian could even swear that the contract used by the White Dragon King Yalin in her body was so vicious and terrifying that even the Spider God Queen Rose would bow down when she saw it.
"It's best not to think about things you shouldn't think about, if you feel you haven't suffered enough┉┉"
"I know."
Familiar lines rang in Selian's ears, and the dark elf girl could only answer with a wry smile.
The two people walking on the road, Selian wore a robe and veil to hide her identity. Although the teachings of the Holy City do not discriminate against believers who are willing to belong to Eilistraee, the goddess of the moon, for thousands of years The dark elves have indeed accumulated too much bad reputation in this world. Sometimes it is better to reduce some necessary troubles.
On the other hand, Selian was quite envious of the ring Alexis wore. After wearing that ring, a powerful dragon instantly became a human being, and his aura completely changed from the inside out. A human, even if he was walking next to her, would not feel the power of a dragon at all.
A ring with the ability to perfectly disguise and deceive is incredible.
And just when Selian was thinking wildly, she suddenly felt Alexis grabbing her hand and squeezing it tightly. It felt like she had seen some kind of extremely threatening enemy. And not far in front of the two people, three people, a man and two women, were slowly walking towards them. (~^~)
