Act 128: The Dragon and the Journal(1/2)
Fog filled street.
The girl in the candle shop walked slowly forward holding a bundle of suet candles. The White Rose Avenue in the Gray City was reviving in the first light of the morning. The owner of the imperial capital grocery store, Ma Perry, was opening the door and saw
Say hello as a girl:
"Seti, so early?"
"Good morning, Mr. Mapelli!" Setitian responded with a smile: "Because there is a rush in the palace, so naturally it will be earlier."
"I saw you working very late yesterday. Isn't this too hard?"
"Ah, because my father's legs are not very flexible, this is what I should do as a daughter."
"Old Chris is so lucky to have such a good daughter like you." The owner of the grocery store complained angrily: "Unlike that bastard boy from my family."
The girl held the candle, pursed her lips and smiled, and was about to answer when suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves on the road leading to the Holy Silver Palace. Everyone closed their mouths subconsciously, and the pedestrians on the street retreated to both sides.
, Seti stood in the crowd holding a candle, frowning and looking towards the south of the avenue.
The fog rolled up.
A dark carriage appeared at the end of the field of vision like a ghost. Dozens of knights in gray cloaks galloped past like a whirlwind, clearing the way for it. The horses the knights sat on were as black as ink, and the armor on their bodies was as black as ink.
Like a flame.
Gray Knights of the Temple of Fire.
The carriage passed by slowly, and people started talking again.
"They are from the Kirk family," the grocery store owner Ma Perry looked at the direction in which the carriage disappeared. He turned back and said, "Setti, I heard that the nobles lost the battle in the south. Your brother..."
"My brother must be fine."
Opposite the Rose Garden gate of Palazzo San Conti, a pure white avenue leads to the tree-lined area of the Royal Garden.
In the Palace of San Cantibe, the black marble is like a carpet, and the roses made of silver extend outward along the dark ground; the supreme emperor of the empire is sitting on the famous stone throne with a long and narrow backrest, and is slightly sideways.
Go too far and listen to the monks of the Temple of Fire ring the golden bell seven times.
The famous motto is engraved on her head. Three inches below the rose there must be thorns. The silver queen of the Cruz people and their supreme empress. Constance has a baby face. Her body is also maintained for special reasons.
In her original appearance when she was young, she had long blond hair that almost reached her waist and looked like an exquisite doll. But in fact, this girl-like queen was already a mother of seven children and a typical Cruz person.
In the eyes of other ethnic groups, a typical Cruz means arrogance, arrogance, and imperialism. Within the political territory of the empire, this represents toughness and iron fist, which is particularly prominent in Her Majesty the Queen.
The queen's gaze was straight ahead, and in her field of vision was the scenery she had seen day after day. There was no gate to the Golden Palace, and the emperor's power had no limitations. Wherever she looked, there was not only the territory of the empire, but also the rear of the empire's conquerors.
garden.
But there, the clouds in the sky north of the palace were low and rolling, as if a rare storm was brewing. This storm has never been experienced by Warnd in a thousand years, and no one may have seen it even further back, so it is not possible at this moment.
Someone will understand. What a magnificent era it will usher in for the world.
Looking straight ahead, the Silver Queen's eyes never fell on her courtiers, but she suddenly waved her hand irritably, interrupting the words of the courtiers below.
"I don't want to hear you discuss what happened in the south. The Eshric family, the eldest daughter of your empire who is well known to everyone, provoked the druids in the Ring of Trade Winds. I can forgive that."
"The Rupert family, Williams suffered a defeat at the hands of the Eruin people, but he is already dead, and the dead have no sin."
"I just want to find out two things. First, who gave Williams the power to mobilize the border fleet? Second, who is the Eruin man who defeated us, the newly promoted Count Tonigel?
, will he use the weapons of heaven, and what is his relationship with those arrogant knights in the north?"
As soon as Constance's calm words fell, an old man sweating profusely knelt out from the direction occupied by the Williams family in the hall: "Your Majesty, please kindly grant us this gift."
Given the chance, we will definitely find out 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 Buga's wizards want to intervene, let them take it away. As long as they don't
It will be fine if it falls into the hands of the elves of Saint Osol."
"But Her Majesty the Queen, Eruin has always been the traditional sphere of influence of the Temple of Fire." A voice came, and the Queen moved her eyes over there, and found that the person who interrupted her was the chief priest Quik. She was faceless.
His expression changed, and he just asked lightly: "Priest Quaker, are you talking to me now about academic affairs or government affairs?"
Quick's expression changed, and then he remained silent.
"I am very concerned about the rumors that the Azure Spear was discovered in Eruin. I will leave this matter to you."
Constance stood up from the throne. She was very short, but no one dared to underestimate her. For a moment, no one in the Palace of St. Cantibe dared to take a breath. The queen looked around, and then she was accompanied by the chamberlain.
leave.
In a corner of the Palais de San Canti, the Kirk family and the Ashrico family were almost together. Duke Helix and Count Rodney watched the queen leave. The latter couldn't help but smacked his lips: "You have no contact with His Majesty.
Before, it was really hard to imagine that such a woman had controlled the empire for forty years. It is shameful to say that when I was young, I regarded her as an object of fantasy."
"Your Majesty just accidentally changed her appearance to her youth due to special experiences. Seriously speaking, when I was your age, Your Majesty was already like this." Duke Helix's temples were gray and gray.
With his eyebrows straight into his temples, this old aristocrat's face was full of wind and frost, but he had no airs when talking to Earl Rodney, who was a generation younger than him. Everyone knew that the Kirk family and the Ashrico family in the flower-leaf collar had a close relationship.
Very recently, the contemporary head of the Ashrico family, Veronica, was even the swordsmanship teacher of Helix's two granddaughters. "Your Majesty's body has not been as good as before in recent times, otherwise she would not agree to let this generation
The princes are going out for training."
Earl Rodney nodded. At the same time, he looked at Archduke Cecil, who was left aside by the Silver Queen, with some pity. He gloated: "The Cecil family is going to be in trouble this time. Williams really left them behind."
What a big trouble."
"Don't be too happy too early." The Duke shook his head disapprovingly. At his age, he has seen too many ups and downs: "Although that old guy Cecil is trembling in front of His Majesty, he is afraid of you and me.
There is still room for improvement.”
"Against us?" Rodney was a little confused: "Why would he want to deal with us? We didn't provoke him. Is he crazy?"
"You have to ask that sister of yours. Your Majesty and we both know what good things she has done in the Ring of Trade Winds. You'd better give her some advice. Don't get too close to those Eruin people.
Judging from His Majesty's tone, he 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 His Majesty has asked her to be the eldest prince's teacher.
I’m sure you won’t be too merciless.”
The Duke patted the young man on the shoulder, "So our situation may not be that much better than Cecil's. We can only blame you and me for our bad luck. At this time, we got involved with Eruin. A few days ago, Vero
Nika has offended one of the most powerful people in the royal capital by sending back the Prime Minister's precious daughter. In addition, during the last trip to the Ring of Trade Winds, the parents of those whose descendants have died may not treat us well.
satisfy."
"It's that serious. So 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 His Majesty's attack on us. And His Majesty's meaning is already obvious. She doesn't care about Eruin's position. She just wants that.
The azure spear."
"Wait a minute, Azure Spear...are you talking about Count Tonigel?"

‘Scroll Moon, 22nd, sunny
Thanks to the efforts of the guide, our carriage passed the White Rose Castle Pass as scheduled. It is said that only on the side of the Anlek mountains close to the Sea of the Dead Moon can we see the carriage and the sailboats on the sea in a line
Parallel wonders, but it is a pity that God did not allow us to do so. Since it was the season after summer, due to the relationship between the wind direction and ocean currents, there were very few ships on the sea near Derdetar. On this afternoon, we finally
Saying goodbye to the pain of trekking for several days, we arrived in Lantouniland.
Luther, recorded in Odape’
Brando obviously didn't expect that someone was still discussing him thousands of miles away. All he had to do now was answer Veronica's question.
"The awakening god?"
The awakening god Sulash is a legend that has always existed in "The Amber Sword".
In the game, there are a total of eight bosses in the team copy in the center of the Dead Frost Forest: the little daughter of Isis, the dim Kou Hua; the disaster twins Mayne and Mel of the Twilight Wolf Clan. The Ice Devourer who occupies the Luohua Hall
The giant insect; the chief wizard of the Black Fire Cult, Eric the 'Illusionist'; the autonomous defense weapon of the Heart of Milos, the Core of Frost. The leader of the Black Fire Cult, Rodrik the 'Head of the Black Fire', and now...
They are together with the Door God, Frost Dragon, and Star.
However, in fact, there has been a rumor circulating among players that there should still be a hidden boss in this temple. The god who is about to awaken, Sulash.
This rumor started from a series of quest chains that existed in Faenzan in the North: There is a diary that can trigger a task at the headquarters of the Far Eagle Knights in White City. The owner of the diary is the former Grand Master of the Far Eagle.
, the identity itself is nothing special, but the content recorded in the diary is very bizarre.
In his previous life, Brando later went to the Kingdom of Knights, Gracius, and did this task during the journey, so he still remembered the contents of that diary.
The diary records the story of the Grand Master in his youth. At that time, he was just an ordinary mercenary and had no connection with the famous mercenary knights Farland Eagle. The diary records that he went with an archaeological team to
The owner of the diary is very proud of his adventure travel experiences around the world, because these are indeed rare experiences for ordinary people, but there are also some things that the owner of the diary can't understand.
One of the most famous is the Mystery of Odape.
The diary states that in the summer of 312, which was the Year of Thunder, more than half a century ago, Anson XI of Eruin had just ascended the throne and promulgated a militia training decree. Eruin's renaissance era had just begun.
, the owner of the diary came to this small kingdom on the border of Cruz with his archaeological team.
