He clicked, there were regular footsteps in the empty hallway, and the waiter bowed down respectfully when he saw the figure coming from the dark.
"Lord Dragon Queen, you are back, and Her Majesty the Queen is about to see you."
"Oh?"
"Your Majesty is very concerned about the situation outside."
"It's bad outside."
Gwendolyn stopped and stood in the middle of the corridor. The lights of the banquet fell on half of her face through the pierced window, making her look like a silhouette, half in light and shadow.
She smiled and replied: "But still under control."
The waiter was stunned. He didn't know how to answer this question. He didn't dare to look up, panicking in his heart. He didn't know why the adult would tell him so much.
In the palace, knowing too much is not a good thing.
But Gwendolyn didn't bother to trouble with such a small person. She looked out the window. The rose garden was brightly lit, and the figures were intertwined. The nobles were drunk and immersed in the dream of power and material desire.
However, the sky was densely covered with dark clouds, and there seemed to be countless evil spirits rushing on the low and deep clouds. The fire of the outer city in the distance was blazing into the sky, and the black smoke of the pillars outlined the scene before the end.
This weird scene is like the last carnival.
"In any case, it will not be worse than this time."
"Lord Dragon Queen?"
Gwendolyn smiled: "A joke."
She looked out the window, her gaze fell on the magnificent lunar eclipse landscape, and the guests in the courtyard were also watching this sudden astronomical landscape, but the colors contained in the eyes of the two were completely different.
The dragon queen took a breath and said to the waiter:
"The blocked moon is Kouhua, the moon of lies. She is the eldest daughter of Esis."
"The moon that blocked her has no name. It hasn't been recorded by wizards for thousands of years. Only the witches have described it in a few words. Thousands of years ago, it did appear."
"It is the thirteenth moon, the black moon."
The waiter got in without knowing it, and finally couldn't help but raise his head and look at the adult. In his impression, this adult was taciturn, not an adult who likes to talk. But the impression given to him today is completely opposite.
Gwendolyn looked at the waiter's stunned face and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, feeling a little lonely in her heart.
This is such a great moment.
But it was destined that no one could share the emotions in her heart.
There have been countless failures for thousands of years, but they will finally come to an end at this moment. History is like a silent book on which only people can prove the past right or wrong.
She listened attentively, as if she had heard countless murmurs in the long history:
"... What if it fails?"
"I can't agree with this plan."
"Your Excellency Commander, it's time to counterattack."
"You can't kill me..."
"From today, the ring of the world no longer exists."
She moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't make a sound.
XVI: THE TOWER—
The lost moon took away the light.
…
Brando followed Metisa and walked out of the black fog. The giant wolf formed by the fog barked violently beside him, opening his teeth to bite one of his arms, but they had not been able to get close to the cloth. Lando's body was shattered by an invisible force and returned to the chaos.
Behind Brando, Charles, Arka, Andriguez’s sister and brother, three Valkyries and a group of nobles came out one by one. Cassette, who knelt on the ground, looked at them in astonishment, and finally his gaze Falling on Little Niederen and Old Niederven, his figure shook slightly:
"My Prime Minister!"
This Lord Prime Minister was naturally directed at the old Niedervan. For anyone in the aristocratic circle, the old prime minister sixty years ago and the young prime minister sixty years later are more important. , There is no doubt.
However, the old Niedervin only nodded his head respectfully, and did not intend to respond. In his time in power, even when facing the Holy See, he did not need to bow his head.
Brando looked at the armor of the Flame Knight on Casset.
He stood on the city wall, and the black mist stopped behind him. This mysterious scene made all the forbidden soldiers on the city and under the city hold their breath.
"I'm Brando."
Brando suddenly spoke to Cassette, who was half kneeling on the ground:
"Brando Cardiloso, grandson of Darus of the Earth Swordmaster, Earl of the Kingdom of Eruin, head of the envoy, student of Mephistopheles of the Grey Sword, lord of Valhalla, Highlander ."
"Go tell the Silver Queen, I'm here—"
Casset was stunned for a while.
Brando didn't give him a chance to answer, and pushed his hand. Under everyone's eyes, including Casset, all the soldiers on the city wall, together with his adjutant, appeared in the crowd under the city in an instant.
"The space element!"
Someone couldn't help but whispered.
Brando stood on the top of the city and looked at everyone condescendingly: "Go, you don't need your defense anymore. Tell Her Majesty that the guests she invited have arrived."
Casset subconsciously picked up his sword, but before he could stand up, he listened to the female elf knight in mid-air saying coldly to him:
"Mr. Cavalier, I saved your life."
Casset froze.
Brando also shook his head. "Are you going to deal with your Majesty's guests?"
Cassett stared at him, no matter how he looked at him, he didn't think he looked like a guest invited by Her Majesty the Queen. Perhaps the uninvited guest was almost the same.
But he knew how he should answer at this time.
"I will report to your majesty."
He beckoned.
The imperial guards dispersed in a rush, and everything that happened right now was too bizarre. It had long been beyond their tolerance. Besides, even Lord Flame Knight recognized it, so what reason did they have to stay
Old Niedervin looked at the crowd who had dispersed, then looked at the young man aside, and couldn't help but shook his head slightly: "You are more and more like your grandfather, Mr. Earl."
"The Cardiloso family is full of outstanding people, all heroes." Grand Duke Huaye also flattered. He only said this because of the terrifying power created by Kou Hua. He can control such a subordinate. The lord itself represents infinite value.
After speaking, he glanced at his daughter and nodded to the latter with satisfaction.
Faina was flustered for a while, how could this young lady fail to see that her father's eyes were pointing.
Brando didn't care about these compliments. After the forbidden army had left, he frowned and looked back at the black mist. He has seen more than anyone else, and the wolves running in the black mist are clearly visible in his eyes. It is the son of Fenrir, the most powerful magic wolf he has ever seen in the ring of trade winds. one.
What he thought in his heart was that when Kou Hua returned to this level of strength, he didn't even know it. He remembered that according to the latter statement, shouldn't she need hundreds or even thousands of years to regain her strength
Isn't it the same for Esis in the game
"Is this Miss Kou Hua?" Charles also asked him in a low voice. The young wizard attendant stared at the black mist in the sky and the lunar eclipse on the horizon, with a serious expression.
Brando shook his head. "Perhaps, but I can't manage so much now."
He beckoned Alka to come over: "Alka, can I see Victory Square from here?"
"It's in front." Alka was able to keep his head clear at this time, showing the young man's boldness and calmness. He pointed to the front and replied: "Did you see it, my lord."
"Very well," Brando nodded. "Take us over."
…
"Your Majesty, Queen Dragon, she is back."
The waiter hurried out from the side door and whispered in the ear of the Silver Queen. The Queen turned her head and replied somewhat calmly:
"Oh? She just came to see me?" Although she was still calm on the surface, her slightly frowned brows revealed the thoughts in her heart.
"Lord Dragon Queen said she should not appear in public."
The Silver Queen turned her head, looked at the banquet that was being held, and nodded, her brows opened and she agreed with this. "So what's the situation outside, did she say?"
The waiter hesitated for a moment, and considered: "The outside situation is not very good, Your Majesty, but Master Dragon Queen also said that everything is still under control."
"What else did she say?" She asked with concern after a moment of thought.
"She said," the waiter thought for a while, probably thinking about the meaning of this sentence: "Everything goes according to plan."
Her Majesty the Queen was silent for a moment before she waved her hand.
"Go down."
The waiter hurriedly bowed back.
The Silver Queen turned her head and glanced over the banquet. The atmosphere of this banquet has not been as harmonious as it was at the beginning. The vision in the sky can be seen by anyone. The nobles can see each other. Also whispering, more people turned their attention to the lunar eclipse, instead of her newly canonized countess as the center of the banquet.
But she didn't take it seriously, her gaze even seemed a little hollow when she passed the top of everyone's heads, she looked at everything in front of her wearily, and her indifferent eyes were full of disdain for the mortal world.
With the lack of interest in the host, only young people may have the strength to compete for the limelight.
Among the crowd, Qian's face was pale, and she gritted her teeth and looked at the tall man in front of her.
The opponent was not like a human, perhaps more like a beast. He was much taller than the average person. Even the tallest man among the Cruz nobles, he would have a short head or even more in front of the opponent.
The other party also looked down at her, his eyes did not conceal the strong possessiveness, and the aggressive gaze made Akane very unbearable.
If it weren't for someone standing in front of her.
Prince Augsig looked at the young man who stood in front of him with dissatisfaction. Of course he knew that the other party was the Cruz noble, and he was probably not a low-born person, but when he saw Qian’s first glance, he knew that this A woman must be her fiancée, the best mare God has given him.
No one can stop him—
As for the previous disdain, it has long since disappeared, and his perception of the empire has improved a lot, except for the unpleasant guy in front of him of course.
"Do you know how I deal with those guys who don't have eyes in Valachi?" Augsger showed his white teeth, smiling like a wolf: "I will cut off his head and cut him off. The scalp was peeled off and made into my battle robe. I used to have seventeen enemies, and now my battle robe is half completed."
Henriette, who was stopped in front of Qian, chuckled twice. Quandang did not hear the threat, and said with disdain: "I don't care how many ways barbarians have to show their ignorance. We are present in every Cruz. The ancestors of human beings have all experienced the age of raging and drinking blood on the Great Plains. Will we regard this as an honor?"
He chuckled: "But it seems that Prince Augsig does."
Augsig’s face turned cold, and this humanoid beast knew in his heart that he was less than lip service, even if it was ten, he might not be the opponent of these imperial nobles, but he had his means, and he subconsciously pressed his hand on it. At the waist, there is a hunting knife. As a mountain nobleman, he can bring the knife into the rose garden, which is also granted by Her Majesty.
However, many people immediately noticed his movements, and the royal knight in the distance immediately drew his sword and hurried over here.
Conrad was also taken aback, and hurried to pull his companion, but Henriette was unmoved and looked at the other's actions contemptuously: "If you have the ability, you can use the knife here, barbarian."
"You insult me." Augsger almost squeezed these words from his teeth.
"You insult yourself." The young man tit-for-tat: "Do something against an aristocratic woman. This is the cultivation of His Royal Highness."
"She is my fiancee!"
"Until your Majesty agrees, it's not." Henriette added.
Augsig finally couldn't bear it, let out a low growl, and was about to rush towards Henriette.
But at this time, the crowd uttered a low cry and retreated to both sides. They saw a figure suddenly passing through the courtyard, separating the crowd and coming to Her Majesty the Queen.
It was a knight, wearing the armor of a royal knight. He half-kneeled on the ground and shouted to Her Majesty on the steps: "Your Majesty, the line of defense on the square has been rushed away—"
The line of defense was broken? Who rushed away
The crowd was startled, and some people began to whisper subconsciously. The commotion over there immediately affected the young people here, and the movements of Prince Augsger and Henriette also slowed down.
But I heard Her Majesty the Queen replied:
"Who is coming."
She actually had the answer in her mind.
"Yes..." The knight hesitated: "It's the grandson of Lord Darus Cardiloso."
Who is Lord Darus Cardiloso? Who is his grandson? The nobles were stunned. As the upper aristocratic circle of the empire, they often knew well-known families or names. Furthermore, they could even recognize the difference between the coat of arms representing different nobles and families at a glance. .
This was originally one of the instincts of the nobility, and it was also an important means and cost of communication between them.
But at this moment, the nobles of the empire seemed a little at a loss at this name. The name seemed familiar, but they couldn't remember it for a while. What made them secretly cried out was that, obviously, Her Majesty recognized this person.
The situation is a little more subtle.
While the nobles were thinking hard, the Silver Queen smiled slightly, as if she was confident, she turned her head, everyone seemed to think that the supreme emperor was looking at herself, but only Qian in the crowd understood that she was looking at her. —
At that moment, she was like falling into an ice cave. Of course she understood what it meant, but it was at this moment that the girl's heart was surprisingly calm. She clenched her fists subconsciously, as if she had made up her mind.
"Owina, I call your name, I need your help..."
"I respond to your call, my master, but are you ready?"
For a moment, a voice responded in her heart.
Qian replied, "I'm thinking about it, Ovena."
"Then answer me, who is your Excellency?"
"I," Akane was silent for a moment: "I am a knight of Azure—"
In her imaginary hand, the phantom of a cyan spear shining with silver lightning is undergoing the transformation of illusion and reality.
It has a name,
Named the sky.
