The stay in the hotel was very smooth. Both the white dragon Alexis and the dark elf Cillian were the kind of people who liked silence. Even dinner was brought to the room by the waiter, and the two of them were quiet at night. Sitting quietly in the room, Alexis was observing the layout of the entire city through the window, while Celiane was sitting in the room meditating quietly.
Alexis overheard some news while staying at the hotel today. It was that a caravan outside the city was attacked by the undead a few days ago. The battle with the undead in the western part of the continent is still going on, but the undead can penetrate deep into the city. It was a bit surprising to come from such a far away area, and what surprised Alexis even more was that many people talked about how five unknown warriors were able to fight against the caravan when it was attacked. Hundreds of undead.
And some people even swore that the five warriors wearing gold and silver armor could turn their hands into sword blades and manipulate chains as if they were alive.
Hearing this, Alexis already knew who the other party was talking about. As a white dragon guard, Alexis also prepared to report to Yalin. However, the magic device unexpectedly lost its function. When Alexis During Shizu's puzzled inspection, she suddenly discovered that the engraved circuit inside the magic device had been burned out by the backflow of magic power. When Alexis accidentally discovered the stone pillar standing in the center of the city, she finally knew the reason.
A mythical lock has been established in this city, and it also has the ability to block the communication of the magic device. If the communication magic device is forcibly used at this time, the result will be irreversible damage to the magic device due to the backflow of magic power.
In desperation, Alexis could only put the damaged magic device back into the space ring.
In order to guard against the three angels, Alexis stayed up all night until dawn the next day before continuing her journey with Selian. However, early in the morning, the White Dragon Guards saw a large group of Templar Knights from the Holy City coming from the Holy City. Driving by on the road outside the hotel, one of the red-haired female knights riding on a horse caught Alexis's attention. She was a paladin who believed in Bosimon, the god of fire.
The paladin on the horse seemed to have noticed the gaze from Alexis. When he looked back, the paladin was slightly startled, and then gave Alexis a smile.
"It's time for us to go."
In order to avoid conflict with the Holy Capital, Alexis took Selian to find a convoy in the north of the city. She thought she could stay away from unstable factors such as the Holy Capital and Angels, but she didn't expect that she was about to arrive at the Kingdom of Zegus. hour. The carriage convoy was stopped for a temporary inspection, and in addition to the troops of the secular kingdom, those responsible for the inspection were actually the Templar Knights of the Holy City.
After inquiring, I learned that at some point the cultists built a devil altar on the lakeside here, and there had been an incident of cultists attacking a caravan before. Although the altar has been destroyed, this is after all an important border area between the Kingdom of Corvado and the Kingdom of Zegus. In order to prevent another tragedy from happening again, the two countries have jointly stepped up patrols and inspections on the roads.
Alexis, who lamented her bad luck, took advantage of the guards who were checking to avoid being caught and slipped away with Selian. After all, Selian was once the priest of the Moon Goddess, one of the five supreme gods in the Holy City, and As a dark elf, Selian is too conspicuous. It is inevitable that no one will recognize it.
Moreover, there is only one "sincere deception" ring used for disguise. Alexis cannot guarantee whether the Templars and Paladins in the Holy City will notice her identity after she takes off the ring. For the sake of insurance, For the sake of safety, it is better to stay away from this unnecessary disaster.
Since she was not far away from the Kingdom of Zegus, Alexis simply carried Selian and flew towards the Kingdom of Zegus. As long as she did not return to her conspicuous dragon form and fly in her human form at an altitude of a thousand meters, there was no way she could fly. No one can find his trace.
Selian, who was carried by Alexis, couldn't help but sigh. However, Selian, who had added the 'Eagle Eye Technique' to herself during the flight, also discovered that another Templar force was heading towards Ze at full speed. The Kingdom of Gus marched in, and the leader was the paladin of the God of Fire.
Judging from the scale of the Templars' mobilization. Selian roughly judged that something big might happen in the Kingdom of Zegus. Of course, the dark elf girl kept silent. Now that she could not protect herself, the only thing she could do was to keep the secret and hope that the dragon escorting her would not take this opportunity to rob her. .
Just as all forces began to advance towards the Kingdom of Zegus, in the Bluebell Territory of the Kingdom of Zegus, Princess Haidee, who had been living with bad news one after another for several days, finally received good news. Patel, son of the late Count Raymond, was finally found.
"Your Highness, it's so nice to meet you┉┉" In the lord's mansion, Earl Raymond's son and the next lord of the Bluebell Territory, Patel, could not help but burst into tears as he looked at the familiar and beautiful figure in front of him.
"Me too, Patel~ Fortunately, you are safe."
Haidee, the heir to the prince and earl, returned safely, and a big stone finally fell to her heart.
Count Raymond was once Princess Haidee's best supporter. As the son of an earl, Patel naturally recognizes Her Royal Highness the Princess, who has visited the Bluebell Territory several times. Although the dress on Patel's body is already dirty due to her continuous escapes, Haidee is also in such an emergency. He didn't mind at all, but just sat down to discuss with Patel.
Haidee learned from Patel. After an assassination incident occurred in the lord's mansion, the usually alert and intelligent Patel accidentally discovered that his father had been replaced by someone. In order to avoid being silenced by the other party, Patel, who had no time to contact Berum, had to rush with a few One of his cronies fled. Originally, Patel was planning to flee the royal capital to seek help from the royal family and the holy capital, but he found that the territory had been blocked, and he didn't know if he would be attacked by cultists on the way. Trapped between a rock and a hard place, Patel could only wander around the Bluebell territory for many days, avoiding the guards who claimed to be searching but were actually trying to silence him.
After Berum sent the message in the lord's mansion, Patel finally realized that the situation might have changed and asked a close confidant to return. Only then did he finally learn that Her Royal Highness Princess Haidee of the Zegus Kingdom had actually come to the Bluebell Territory. .
"Father passed away!! Is this true? Your Highness Princess┉┉"
After realizing that his father had been betrayed, Patel had already learned that his father was probably in serious danger. Although he was mentally prepared, after hearing the facts from Princess Haidee herself, Patel was immediately confused. I still feel that my heart cannot bear it.
He was only in his twenties, his father died young due to the conspiracy of the cultists when he was still in his prime, his mother passed away from him due to illness very early, and his father also passed away now. For a while, Patel's heart was filled with pain and despair. The anger is all because of these cultists, who not only killed my father but also had others pretend to be his replacement and desecrated his dignity.
Bellum performed a knight's salute and said excitedly: "I'm really sorry, Master Patel. It's all my fault for not noticing the cultists' plan due to my negligence."
"Patel is sorry! When I arrived at the Bluebell Territory, it was already too late. Please cheer up. The Bluebell Territory cannot be without a lord."
Although she knows that Patel is very sad now, Haidebi immediately let Patel succeed her father because there are still bigger challenges waiting for her side. Otherwise, by then, Patel will lose more than just his father. Earl Raymond, and even the entire Bluebell territory and family will be lost.
With Princess Haidee's explanation, Patel finally learned about the entire Bluebell territory, no! Even the entire Zegus Kingdom is facing a crisis. Some nobles and royal members colluded with cultists to assassinate Her Royal Highness. The biggest suspect is that Her Royal Highness's brother is trying to replace his sister as the king, and his father is supporting Her Royal Highness the Princess. Because of this, the forces were purged by the cultists.
"His Royal Highness actually colludes with the cultists┉┉Princess, we must convey this news to His Majesty the King and the Holy City immediately! Even the prince must not do such an appalling thing!"
When he thought that his father would die tragically because of this, Patel couldn't help but burst into anger.
Haidee shook her head. This matter is too complicated. If it is publicized, it may even shake the legal rule of the royal family. For this, Haidee must cooperate with Pernrius, Elcid and others, which is the most hidden. form with caution.
Contact, mobilize troops, coup!
Because she needed help from the Bluebell Territory, Haidee no longer concealed anything and explained everything to Patel. For a young lord who was only in his twenties, a coup was no joke. . But after careful consideration, Patel also understood the current situation. If the demons and cultists were allowed to continue to wreak havoc, it would be impossible to preserve the Bluebell Territory after the destruction of Zegus. Everyone knows the way.
And if His Highness the Prince, who colluded with the cultists, is allowed to succeed, let alone how the Holy City will react, it is estimated that His Highness the Prince will immediately attack the traitor who is not loyal to him in order to consolidate the power in his hands. By then, the Bluebell Territory will definitely be The first target to be attacked.
"Assist me, Patel~ Now there is no way out for everyone. I swear that as long as we can successfully save the Zegus Kingdom, even if I sacrifice, I will let your family continue to survive!" Princess Haidee looked at Patel. He said deeply, every word seemed to knock on his soul.
After finally weighing the situation, Patel nodded. Now he had to take action. Either he would survive or be shattered. There was no third option.
At this moment, a guard came over and whispered a few words in Princess Haidee's ear.
"Have the personnel from the Holy City arrived? Okay, I understand!" (~^~)
