Volume 3 The Dragon Language and the Song of the Wind Chapter 96 Honest Meeting
"Forged by Fire...... It should have a name like that. ”
Glori stared at the phoenix chicks. He wanted his companions to never know what had happened to him in the tunnels of the Steel Sword Fortress, and he didn't really care—a life-and-death fight was a common occurrence on this journey.
"Well, I'll have to think about it...... About the name......"
Iris rubbed her chin with her fingers, mimicking the tangled look of a prince and minister. Without waiting for her to think it through, the phoenix flapped her wings and flew round and round, just like that, swirling around her hand, and then let out a bright chirp.
It sounds like the name is a literal repetition of the Phoenix Bath in Fire. But think about it...... We've been through two battles in recent days, and it's not easy to be safe now. It deserves the name, a monumental one. Wei explained. He could hear what Glori was trying to say—to be reborn from the ashes and to move forward.
"Well, little one, you have a name now. Fire Tempering, if you think about it, is a good name. Iris said as she touched her finger to the little brain of the phoenix.
So, they are all satisfied. That's a good thing, Glori thinks.
"Walk through this phantom barrier and it's the church, right? Glori walked to the cliff to the south and felt the rocks. Then, his hand penetrated in. "A barrier like water, but it can't deceive everyone. ”
"Everyone, please come with me. "Baron Victor was the first to pass through the barrier. Glori and his friends then follow Victor through the dimly lit tunnel.
In a wide cave where the roads became more numerous, the Knights of the Quarter Moon were the most common, a team built by the old fox Coritz himself, a loyal subordinate of the Night Wandering Church. There's even a small village made of rocks, a blacksmith shop, a grocery store, a bakery, and ...... Pretty much everything.
The church of the Night Tour Church is located in a straight passage, in a larger cave. The entrance to the cave is not lavishly decorated, not even carved by the god of light. However, there is also a hole in the night sky. So, the place where the church is located is not gloomy.
"It's a different world. ”
Iris was pleasantly surprised. She looked at the top of the church, where the moonlight filtered through several slanted openings above the cavern, spilling right over the church. She was looking forward to something good to come...... But this is the territory of the Night Wandering Church! But there must be something strange - she's looking around. Then, a man appeared and intercepted him.
"Baron Victor is back!"
The man who spoke was none other than Parth's sworn brother, Aldwin Felscher. He had a shovel in his hand and was doing farm work. Fortunately, a guest appeared, otherwise the small vegetable patch in the church would have tormented him to the point of madness.
"Baron, I'm struggling to think about what to plant!
"Aha, Aldwin. Good boy, I didn't expect you to recognize me like this. Baron Victor straightened his clothes and covered up the holes. Aldwin stepped forward in respect, and Baron Victor patted him on the shoulder, taking a closer look.
Surprisingly, Baron Victor is quite popular here, and even residents bring fruit to joke with Baron Victor. All of this surprised Glori and his companions, and the Victor they saw here had a different look.
"Baron Victor, please take us to the Church's think tank...... I mean Kanther. ”
Glori behaved politely. He didn't want to speak ill of Baron Victor at such a time, he wanted the inhabitants to continue to maintain their own sustenance. He knew that Baron Victor was indeed full of evil in his opinion, but here he was the object of worship of the inhabitants. Who would have the heart to defile someone else's worshipper?
It was clear that Zoe didn't quite understand Glori's abrupt performance. However, she knew that what Glori was doing must be the right thing. She wanted to explain everything loudly and let the inhabitants know that Baron Victor had gambled with the lives of the inhabitants of Redlive, but she suppressed her anger - she knew and experienced how cruel it was to destroy the hopes of others.
Yes, Zoe had to think of her parents, because they were her hope. Looking at the moonlight, she apologized again for the mistakes she had made. In the land of flowers, she hopes that no powerful people will chase after their families for the sake of books. But what is in the land of flowers? She doesn't know, she can only hope for ...... Just like the residents in front of them, they can only hold on to the only hope.
"Actually, they are very pitiful. Zoe glanced back at the village.
"Hey, Zoe...... We can't turn back, we have to get down to business. With that, Dylan looked at Elris. He asks Iris to pull Zoe closer to the group.
"I said, we tossed all night. Now, all of us have our stomachs growling. Dylan wondered if there would be a banquet tonight, if he could have a full meal. However, it is only he who screams in his stomach, and everyone else is focused on what is happening now.
And so they went south. Then, from the open-air corridor of the east entrance of the church to the north corner, you will enter the meeting room. Dylan didn't stop, he smelled the delicacy and went to the north side of the parlor.
"Hey, human. It's the dining room over there, and you should go to the parlor with them. The guard shouted. Dylan swayed left and right in front of him, trying to break in. He reached for it, but he fell to the ground, and Dylan slipped into the dining room laughing.
"An unruly man, I hope he won't eat ours too. Aldwin laughed. He followed Baron Victor. Tonight, he's the guest of honor at Coritz.
"Dylan......! We'll go find you. Glori reminded.
"Dylan, wait for me. Elrith didn't worry about Dylan and chased after him alone.
"Old rules! Glori, the meeting is yours. Dylan took a fat chicken leg from the rack where the chef was grilling and replied by the way.
At this moment, Paz came up from the corner staircase that led to the basement, holding two bottles of cellar wine. "Aldwin, you'd better not drink that much tonight, because you owe me a drink. He pretended to be in pursuit, but he smiled. Nuwa Library
"Of course, I won't forget. I'll go to the parlor with Baron Victor and the guests first. Aldwin said.
"So, who are these?" asked Paz, confused. He was curious, for Corritz had not told him who his guest was tonight, nor had he been asked to attend the banquet;
"Hello, down there is Glori Carlos, who has been commissioned by Commander Auraya to attend the meeting. They are my companions. Glori tried to smile. And his buddies each stepped forward to introduce. However, Wei had used a false identity, and he didn't want to be troubled by Corryz here, but that was okay, in fact, he knew that disguise was useless, and that King Shennuo's adventure with Blue Star had become a daily conversation.
"Well, excuse me. Below is Paz Manting...... Well...... ...... in Coritz Foster child. Paz reluctantly introduced himself, not even mentioning Krytz's name. He's Paz, and he's unhappy with Corryse—Glori can see it.
"It's the first time we've met, but do you have time after the banquet? Glori asked Path. Perhaps, the person in front of him will tell him some clues about Mr. Kronos, and he intended it so he did.
"Absolutely, if you're going to do it. Paz said. Then, he hurried into the drawing room. He knew it was a great opportunity. It was just what he wanted, he thought.
Now, the guests in the living room are almost all there.
Corriz sat in his diamond-encrusted chair. When this chair came into Glori's eyes, it reminded him of the throne of His Highness Loreika, and he subconsciously compared the two chairs.
Although Coritz's chair is also old, it is not as old as the throne of Her Highness Lolaika in terms of time. Glori remembered that His Highness Loreka had said that during the Age of the Gods, Bishop Corriz of the Night Wandering Church had been his friend, but Loreka was more than three hundred years older than Correz, and the chair was only older than that.
In any case, they are all important characters in the Gudian Kingdom, one is the lord of Fengyan City, and the other is the representative of the church in the Gudian Kingdom. But what Glori didn't know was that the owners of these two chairs had the same ultimate goal, which had not changed for more than two thousand years, and that was to make the kingdom of Gudian strong again, no matter what. In reality, Corryz's brutality led Glori, who didn't see through him, to think he was a pure enemy.
So, what kind of ancient god is Coritz?Glori could only tell Corritz's greed from the ornate chair. As for the rest, he is not clear.
"What? what are you all doing in a daze? Especially the young man in the blue and white armor. Ladies and gentlemen, our last guest has arrived. I mean Leo. ”
Corriz smiled. He saw Leo just push the door open. Leo's tardiness convinced him that Leo couldn't learn to be respectful, but instead of being angry, he felt that Leo should stay true to himself.
"Down there is Leo Osédox. Later, you will get acquainted with me, because you will remember the impression you had when you first met me. Leo entered the door and smiled and bowed to the crowd.
Will is optimistic about Leo, he likes Leo's words, and he offers him friendship with his glass. "New friend, a toast to you. ”
"So, on the other side of the Reconstruction Corps, I would like to apologize first. We don't have much time, so let's get straight to the point. Lo and behold, it probably doesn't need much introduction. I knew who the toasting Kanono was, and he didn't need to hide it at all. "Crez is coloring. He glanced at Glori and his companions, but didn't look at Will.
"Yes, it's me. And, I know that's how it turned out. Wei said disdainfully.
"Heh, I'm just reminding you, and you don't seem worried. Coritz reassured.
"Do you know that something big is about to happen in the Mochizuki Plain," Kanther said, "You've seen the pass outside, and even the Steel Sword Castle that once shielded the Order Clan has been overrun by the demons under the moon. Until then, Steel Sword Castle was ours, under the jurisdiction of the Night Wandering Church. ”
"We just passed through there," Glori said calmly, "and I know you guys need help. However, you have killed many gods and humans before, and the legions are here to drive out the Order, and we have different purposes. He wanted to get angry, but he tried to suppress it because he thought that Mr. Andrew hadn't been rescued yet.
"Well, you didn't get it. If the balance of the plains is broken, the lord and Thorne will be even more threatening to regain your lost territory. Of course, we can't fight it, that's why I'm looking for you. Cooperation is good for both parties. You shouldn't know, do you?" explained Kanther, pressing the table.
"If it were me, I would have smashed the table a long time ago. I'm not going to talk to you hateful guys. In my opinion, none of you are good things!" Zoe stood up angrily. Then she sat down abruptly, eating the donuts on the table with disdain, listening disdainfully to the conversation.
"Oh, a brave girl, she has to pay a little more to know how complicated the world is. However, we have to focus on the meeting. "Crez is coloring.
"Listen to me...... Actually, Canther was right. That's why my friends and I are risking to be here, that's our sincerity. You should also show sincerity. Glori explained. The task given by the legion must be completed, he knows. On the other hand, he was trying to inquire about something, hoping to get a clue about Andrew from the side.
"Suddenly, I remembered that your friend Andrew was with me. However, I will not use this to blackmail you into helping. Because he's not here what I want, it's the orderliness behind me. A guy who spends his days working on potions, he restrained me with strange recipes of potions. I say this to show my sincerity, but also to show that I can't hand over Andrew to you - Andrew, he is my life saver. Do you know why I'm still alive despite the Order? that's what it is!" said Corryz.
"The guy you're saying controls you only cares about potions and the whereabouts of the dragon god, and nothing else. Glori cautioned that it was also a temptation. He knew that the Demon Dragon Empire needed Andrew for only one purpose, and that was to find the whereabouts of the God of Light. As everyone knows, Kyle is seeking a greater source of power to awaken the God of Order.
"You seem to know a lot about the guy behind me. But he did. He spends his days crouching in the underground research institute researching wacky recipes. The King of Order asked him to take charge of the church, but he gave me a poison and warned me not to make a big deal. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given me the potion that would have timed the poison, and he would have asked me to help him obtain the Golden Covenant. It's so much fun......" Coritz said. He almost laughed when he told about his misfortunes.
"Then you should exchange Andrew for the covenant. Wei said with a smile.
"In this situation, will you give the covenant? I can see the fortitude on the blue star's face. He will carry his faith through to the end, even at the cost of his life. Coritz ignored Wei and looked at Glori coldly.
"So, the final decision is that we won't let the city lord's plan succeed. But one thing you're going to be disappointed is that we're not going to give up on Andrew. Glori said dryly.
"Very nice and tough attitude. Corriz stood up, wanting to give another compliment, but heard a quarrel in the street outside.
