Chapter 744: Dragon and log

Views:

The misty streets.

The girl in the candle shop slowly moved forward holding a bunch of lanolin candles. The White Rose Avenue in the City of Ash was resurrecting in the first light of the morning. The owner of the Imperial General Store, Ma Perry, was opening the door and seeing I said hello when I was a girl:

"Seti, so early?"

"Good morning, Mr. Mapelli!" Setitian responded with a smile: "Because the palace is rushing, so naturally it is earlier."

"I saw you being busy until late yesterday. Wouldn't it be too hard?"

"Ah, because my father's legs are not flexible, this is what I should do as a daughter."

"Old Chris is really blessed to have such a good daughter as you." The owner of the grocery store complained angrily: "It's not like that bastard kid in my house."

The girl held the candle, pursed her mouth and smiled, just about to answer, a shower of horseshoes suddenly sounded on the avenue leading to the Holy Silver Palace. Everyone closed their mouths subconsciously, and the pedestrians on the street retreated to both sides. Seti was standing in the crowd holding the candle, and frowned and looked towards the south side of the avenue—

The mist rolled up.

A dark carriage appeared at the end of the field of vision like a ghost. Dozens of knights wearing gray cloaks galloped past like a whirlwind, clearing the way. Like a ball of flame.

The gray knight in the temple of flames.

The carriage passed by slowly, and people began to talk again.

"It's from the Kirk family," the grocery store owner Mapelli looked at the direction where the carriage disappeared, and he turned his head: "Setti, I heard that the nobles have lost the battle in the south, your brother and him..."

"My brother must be fine."

The gate of the Rose Garden of the Palace of St. Kantipe is opposite, and the pure white avenue leads to the boulevard of the royal garden.

In the Palace of St. Contipe, the black marble is like a carpet, and the silver-poured roses extend along the dark ground; the empire’s supreme man sits on the famous stone throne with a long, cold backrest slightly to the side. Over the head, the monks in the Temple of Hearing Flame rang the golden bell seven times.

The famous motto was carved three inches above her head—there must be thorns under the rose—the silver queen of the Cruz people, who is also their supreme queen, her majesty. Constance has a baby face and a special body. The reason remains as it was when she was young. She has long golden hair that is almost waist-length and looks like an exquisite doll, but in fact, this girl-like queen is already a mother of seven children and is also a typical Cruze.

In the eyes of other peoples, a typical Cruz means arrogant, arrogant, imperialist. Within the political map of the empire, this represents toughness and an iron fist, which is particularly prominent in Her Majesty.

The Queen’s eyes were looking straight ahead, and in her vision was the scenery she had seen day after day. The Golden Palace had no gates, and the emperor’s power had no limits. Wherever she looked, it was not only the territory of the empire, but also the queen of the conquerors of the empire. garden.

But there, the sky and clouds in the northern part of the palace are drooping and rolling, as if it is gestating a rare storm. This storm Vaughan has never experienced in a thousand years, and may not have been seen by anyone in the past, so it is not at this moment. Someone will understand that it will open up a magnificent era for this world.

Looking straight ahead, the Silver Queen's eyes never fell on her courtiers, but she suddenly waved her hand a little irritably, interrupting the courtiers below.

"I don't want to hear you discuss what happened to the south, Ashric family, your eldest daughter who is well known to the empire provoked the druid in the ring of trade winds, and I can forgive him."

"House Rupert, Williams lost the battle at the hands of the Eruins, but he is dead, and the dead are not guilty."

"I just want to figure out two things. One, who gave Williams the power to mobilize the border fleet? Two, who is the Eruin who defeated us and the newly promoted Earl Tonigel? , Will he use the Heavenly Arms? What is his relationship with the majestic knights in the north—"

As soon as Constance’s quiet voice fell, an old man sweating profusely in the direction occupied by the Williams family crawled out and knelt out: "Your Majesty, please kindly grant us this Opportunity, we will find that person. He is not only an enemy of the empire, but also an enemy of our family."

Constance just glanced at Duke Cecil—

She raised her head: "Eruin is no longer important to today's empire. I only want them to agree to participate in the holy war in the name of the temple. Since the wizards of Buga want to intervene, let them take it away, as long as they don’t Just fall into the hands of the elves of St. Osor."

"But Your Majesty, Eluin has always been the traditional sphere of influence of the Temple of Flame." A voice came, and the queen moved her gaze over there and found that it was the chief priest Quek who had interrupted her. She didn't change her face, and just asked lightly, "Priest Quark, are you talking to me about academic affairs or government affairs?"

Quirk's face changed, and he kept silent.

"I am very concerned about the rumor that the Azure Spear was unearthed in Eruin, this matter is left to Zhuqing."

Constance stood up from the throne, short, but no one dared to underestimate it. For a while, no one dared to take a breath in St. Contipe’s palace. The queen looked around before leaving, accompanied by the servant.

In the corner of St. Contip’s Palace, the Kirk family and the Ashric family are almost together. The Duke of Helix and the Earl of Rodney watched the queen leave. The latter couldn’t help but slapped her lips: “Before you contacted your Majesty, it’s hard to imagine such a woman who has mastered the empire for forty years. She is ashamed. When I was young, I used her as an object of fantasy."

"Your Majesty just accidentally kept her appearance at a young moment because of a special experience. Seriously, when I was your age, Your Majesty was already like this." The Duke of Helix had white temples and grayish white. With eyebrows inserted straight into the temple, the old nobleman’s face is full of wind and frost, but there is nothing to be said when talking to the Earl Rodney, who is a generation younger than him—everybody knows that the Kirk family and the Ashric family go with each other. Very close, Veronica, the contemporary parent of the Ashric family, is even the swordsmanship teacher of the two granddaughters under Helix’s knee. A generation of princes went out to practice."

Lord Rodney nodded, and at the same time he looked at the Grand Duke Cecil who was hanging aside by the Silver Queen with a little pity, and said gleefully: "The Cecil family is going to be unlucky this time. Williams really left them. A big trouble."

"Don't be too happy," the Duke shook his head disapprovingly. With his age, he has seen too many ups and downs: "Don't look at the old fellow Cecil trembling in the face of your Majesty, but I will deal with you and me. There is still room for effort."

"To deal with us?" Rodney was a little puzzled: "Why is he going to deal with us, we didn't provoke him, is he crazy?"

"Then you have to ask your sister, what good things she did in the ring of trade winds, your majesty and we know it. You'd better persuade her not to get too close to the Eruins. Listening to your majesty's tone, you may not be satisfied with what she did before." Duke Helix replied.

"Hey," Earl Rodney sighed, obviously thinking of Veronica: "How can I persuade her, she has her own ideas. But I think your Majesty has made her the teacher of the prince," I think it won't be too affectionate."

The Duke patted the young man on the shoulder, "So we may not be in a better situation than Cecil to get there. We can only blame you and I for the bad luck. At this time, we have a relationship with Eruin. A few days ago, Vero Nika sent the prime minister’s precious daughter back, and offended one of the most powerful people in the capital. Coupled with the last trip to the Tradewind Circle, the parents of the descendants of those who died in the family may not be against us. satisfy."

"It's so serious, what should we do now?" Rodney suddenly felt a little creepy.

"Find someone."

"Find someone?"

Duke Helix nodded. "Don't worry about other people's attitudes, what we have to do is to change your majesty's logging of us. And your majesty's intention is already obvious, she doesn't care about Eruin's position, only wants the azure gun."

"Wait, Azure Spear... You mean the Earl Tonigel?"

'The Moon of Scrolls, 22nd, sunny—

Because of the guide's efforts, our carriage passed the Baiqiangbao Pass as scheduled. It is said that only on the side of Anlek’s mountains close to the Sea of Dead Moon can we see the marvelous sight of the carriage and the sailing boats on the sea running side by side. In the summer season, due to the relationship between wind direction and ocean currents, there are very few ships close to Del Detal. On this afternoon, we finally bid farewell to the pains of several days of trekking and arrived in Lantoyoulan—

-Luther, in Odapé'

Brando obviously couldn't think that someone was discussing him thousands of miles away. All he had to do now was to answer Veronica's questions.

"The God of Awakening?"

Surash, the god of awakening, is a legend in China for a long time.

In the game, there are a total of eight BOSSs in the team instance of the Dead Frost Forest Center: Asis’s little daughter, Kou Hua, the faintly; Twilight Wolves’ twins of disaster—Mayne and Mel. The ice-eater worms entrenched in the Luohua Hall; the chief wizard of the Black Fire cultists, Eric the "illusionist"; the self-defense weapon of the Heart of Milos, the core of frost. The leader of the Black Fire Cult, Roderick the "Head of Black Fire" and the door god, the Frost Dragon, and Star who are still with them.

However, in fact, such a rumor has been circulating among players that there should still be a hidden BOSS in this temple. The god who is about to wake up, Surash.

This rumor began with a series of mission chains in which the Northern Method Enzan exists: There is a diary that can trigger a mission at the headquarters of the Knights of the Far-Earth Eagle in White City. The owner of the diary is the former commander of the Far-Earth Eagle. , The identity itself is nothing special, but the content of the diary records is very strange.

Brando's previous life later went to the Knights of Grace, where he went to do this task in the middle, so he still remembered the contents of the diary.

The diary records the story of the young leader of the large group. At that time, he was just an ordinary mercenary, and had no connection with the famous mercenary knights, the Eagle of the Far. It is written in the diary that he went with an archaeological group. The experience of adventurous travel all over the world, the owner of the diary is very proud of these experiences, because this is indeed a rare experience for ordinary people, but there are also some things that make the owner of the diary puzzled.

One of the most famous is the mystery of Odapé.

It is written in the diary that the summer of 312, the year of the Thunder, more than half a century ago, when Ansen XI of Eruin had just ascended the throne and the militia training decree was promulgated, and Eruin’s ZTE era had just begun. , The owner of the diary followed his archaeological team to this small kingdom on the border of Cruz.

They crossed the plateau at the junction of Eruin Cruz, inspected the remains of the Miner people there, and then headed south, past Ampersel, and arrived at a fishing village in Odapé, where the owner of the diary described them. Interesting things to see.

They discovered that the local residents were worshipping a deity with a specific image.

'This is really an extremely interesting thing. The local residents described the god as having a thunderous face, with eyes like flames, and his skin shining like silver. It comes from the south every night, driving the flames, and patrolling the sky. After the circle, he returned to the south. But as far as I know, since the azure knights penetrated the sky and caused the stars to fall to the ground, the disputes between the gods have also been calmed down. After that, the gods and the gods left Warnd together, although the laws they left behind still sheltered Our world, but the concrete god no longer exists on this land. '

It was described in the diary. But what is surprising is that in the days that followed, the owner of the diary and his group also witnessed the scene of the god descending:

'The red pillar of fire rose from the south, the flame seemed to burn all over the night sky in that direction, and the entire night sky was red. Then I witnessed the miracle with my own eyes-as if a road that didn't exist in the sky, a deity with a specific image walked along it, walked around the sky for a week, and then returned to the pillar of fire. In order to prove that I did not fabricate the facts out of thin air, I am here to record the face of the deity I saw. His skin seems to be made of shiny metal, with silver light flowing all over, surrounded by lightning, and golden flames gushing in his eyes. '

Later, the archaeological team set off to the south, preparing to investigate the matter. But unfortunately, when passing through Shuanglin Town between Bida Vernon and Jinlin Forest, they were attacked by a dragon. The dragon did not kill them, but robbed them of all their supplies. As a last resort, they had no choice. This temporary trip was not cancelled.

After returning to Baicheng, the owner of the diary has always been worried about the matter, but unfortunately, this trip became his last long-distance trip. Not long after that, he joined the Eagle of Far Land because of a last resort. Although his excellent insight and talent made him quickly become the top of the mercenary knights and the center of power, he was in the fishing village of Odapé. His experience has always been an unresolved question in his heart.

This question continued until the owner of the diary passed away, but did not return to the dust until the player discovered the diary.

The fishing village of Odapé was expanded into a Violet Fort by the Earl of Odapé in the year of Shuiqin and became the center of the Odapé region. Today, the southern part of the Violet Fort is the Dead Frost Forest.

According to historical records, since the year of Lin Ying, local residents no longer see the vision in the night sky. Although this incident once alarmed the Havilland Church in Lantonilan (an autonomous sect of the Temple of Flame), the adventure group organized by the church has not been able to take place. After about a year and a half, the number of visions has gradually decreased. This matter will not stop.

Because of this, there are very few written records about this god who was once a short-lived in history, which brought huge difficulties to the player's subsequent investigation. Even though the player's strength has grown to the point where he can enter the Dead Frost Forest alone, he still has not been able to solve this unsolved mystery.

The question in the mind of the head of the eagle of the distant land has become the most mysterious legend circulating among players since then.

"So, if Anlek really is looking for that thing, it will be easy to handle." Brando skipped the player part and explained this diary to Veronica and others a little bit: "If Seibers, the king of the Frost Knight, really wanted to remind us of this. Maybe it would save us a lot of time."

"What do you mean, Lord Earl?" Before Veronica could speak, Miss Shiduo, the scholar standing next to her, couldn't bear to ask with curiosity: "Is there any important information recorded in that diary?"

Not really.

Brando thought that if so, this mystery would not become one of the biggest unsolved questions in the minds of players later.

But the problem is that now they have an unexpected gain.

In fact, Brando and Veronica's eyes fell on Star.

But before them, it was the little dragon Aloz who spoke first.

"Tell me what is going on," Aloz stared at his own kind with golden eyes, showing his little white fangs as a threat: "Don't tell me you didn't hear what the guy said just now. Otherwise I will unscrew your ears."

"No!" Little Fat Long covered his ears pitifully and screamed: "I don't know, I have been here for a long time, but I have been sleeping for a long time, you know, too. Sister Aloz."

"Really, so you robbed someone else's convoy when you were sleepwalking?" Little Mother Long let out a cold snort, and suddenly rushed to catch Star's ear, making the latter scream like a pig. . She said viciously: "Don't lie to me, tell the truth!"

"Wow, come on, my sister! I said, I said!" Star screamed.
