29 The visit of Hermes

Everyone looked up at the sky at the same moment, but the sky was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Gray Cloud sighed, smiled at Green Wind who was standing across from him and shook his head, saying, "Unfortunately, I don't think it's a good time to fight. We need to make sure that the Radiant stays here before we can discuss its ownership. ”

Gray Cloud bent down shallowly, which was regarded as a bow. Then the figure flashed and left the Tree of the Court. The members of the committee all stood up at the moment, their expressions looking at the sky with serious expressions, as if trying to catch something from the endless darkness.

"Bi, what did the black dragon say, what did it want to do when it came to the Corner City?" asked Lady Vicie by name.

"Lord Visse, Hermeth wants us to open the barrier in Corner City, and it wants to visit us. Bi replied respectfully, "And it also said that if after twenty breaths, we don't open the barrier, then it will come down on its own." ”

"Come down on your own, is this a declaration of war?" Lady Vicie frowned, "Does Hermes want to challenge the existing order in the Doden Mountains?"

"Hahaha, that's great. That stupid dragon, I wanted to teach it a lesson a hundred years ago. Fei Shuang on the side covered her mouth and laughed exaggeratedly, "Let it come down, let it come down, I will teach it what politeness is." ”

"Feishuang, if you want to fight, then go and prepare. Lady Vicie did not rebuke Frost for her arrogance this time, but waved her hand in approval.

"As you wish. Frost lifted her small file and flicked it with her fingers.

"Ding" In a soft sound, Fei Shuang's figure scattered and shattered, disappearing in place.

"My lord, I have some situation here, you should probably take a look. Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd, and the citizens consciously lined up on either side, and Mr. Fangbi, who had three small bells tied to his hat, walked out with a bloated figure. No one noticed when he left.

Mr. Fangbi handed over a document in both hands and said, "This is the latest news I have received, and something is wrong. ”

Lady Vicie took the material, read it quickly, and immediately handed it to Master Mermer beside her.

"The Doden Mountains don't seem to be at peace, so you should take a good look at this information. Lady Visy glanced around, "Twenty dragons breathe, almost half an hour. We must first resettle our citizens and make sure they are safe. Master Mermo, do you think the space of the Brave Paradise can still work? I want to let ordinary citizens enter the Brave Paradise to take refuge first. ”

Master Mermo handed the information in his hand to Mr. Hunting on the side, closed his one-eyed and pondered for a moment before saying, "The arrow of the Holy Radiance just now shot out the main demonic flame that operated the Paradise of the Brave. At present, the space of the park is not stable, and it can only maintain a purely independent space, and many functions cannot be used. In the case that the protection cannot be activated, I don't think it's a good idea to avoid the Valian's Land. ”

"Really?" Mrs. Vicie glanced at Green Wind, who was standing with Catherine not far away, "Mr. Greycloud, what do you think about this?"

Gray Cloud stood silently in the crowd behind the committee, with the glorious war bow in his hand. Lady Vicie asked him a question, and Grey Cloud took the initiative to step forward. He stood behind Lady Visy, leaned in and whispered, "My lord, the glory of the Holy Radiance has shone back on us, so we must welcome the Holy Radiance back to the royal court no matter what." So no matter where the Black Dragon came from, I think the Radiance must stay here. Since the Brave Paradise can't play its role at the moment, it is better to simply let the citizens enter the Starry Sky Enchantment. ”

"Do you want to evacuate?" Mr. Hunting, who was reading the information, raised his head when he heard this, "It's okay, the order of the Doden Mountains has been broken. It is indeed dangerous for our citizens to continue to live in Corner City, so it is a good choice to return to the royal court early. ”

Hengting passed the information to Bi, who was waiting on the side, and continued, "Lord Weixi, if you think this plan is feasible, I will go to Hosaki. ”

Lady Vicie did not answer, but turned to look at Master Mermer beside her, who nodded solemnly.

"Alright, Mr. Hunting, this matter will be up to you and Sashigi. Let our citizens withdraw from the ladder of the abyss to the royal court as soon as possible. Lady Vicie thought for a moment and then said, "Bi, you send some people to form a convoy. There are not many people, but the combat power must be guaranteed. ”

"As you wish. The two agreed in unison and walked quickly into the crowd.

Soon, the citizens of Corner City began to spread out in an orderly manner, and some of them were running away in several directions at a rapid pace. However, no one spoke and shouted in the huge square, only the sound of chaotic footsteps. The scene may seem chaotic, but there is a hidden order, as if it has been rehearsed many times.

Green Wind didn't fight Grey Cloud again, which actually made Catherine breathe a sigh of relief. The female mage saw that the elf standing beside her was still pale, and he stared intently at the glorious war bow in Gray Cloud's hand from a distance, his expression was focused and serious, and even a little reverent.

Who would have thought that Hermes's dragon chant would turn things around, but unfortunately the old professor was gone, otherwise Catherine would have liked to hear what the learned scholar would have to say in the present situation.

It was also a pity that Catherine was not able to fully hear what the committee members were discussing. Fortunately, that Phisham's usual flamboyance at least let Catherine know that Hermes and the Corner City are not on good terms.

"If these guys can fight, it will be better for us. Catherine whispered to her crew.

"The dragon is a very vengeful fellow, but that bow wasn't taken from it by Corner City. Ace's eyes were fixed on the green wind.

"Captain. Green Wind turned his gaze back from the Brilliant Battle Bow, and he turned his head and said, "We'd better stay with those West Rums." ”

"It's a good idea. Ferry understood, and chimed in, "Let's stand over and talk about it, God knows if the black dragon will suddenly fly down." ”

Catherine glanced at As, who smiled at her. Catherine took a deep breath and led the way towards the committee.

"Captain Catherine. Lady Vicie noticed the Kurid mercenary group approaching them, and was the first to say hello, "There's another uninvited guest coming to visit us tonight, and it may have something to do with you." ”

"Lady Vicie, if you mean the Heavenly One. Catherine smiled and pointed to the sky, "It has nothing to do with us, but it has to do with the bow in Mr. Greycloud's hand. ”

"Oh, the warbow. Lady Vicie nodded, and motioned to Green Wind with her hand, "Speaking of which, this companion of yours has destroyed our Paradise of the Brave. This is not the right thing to do as a valued guest, and we at Corner City would like you to explain it. ”

Green Wind Destroys Paradise for the Brave?

Catherine didn't know the details, and she looked at the elf in surprise. The elf said in a deep voice: "Captain, you have been ...... by these Human--imprisoned, so I tried to destroy the cell by extinguishing the flames that supported the cell. I think that's how you can get out. ”

"Presumptuous!" As soon as Green Wind's words fell, Master Merme, who was standing beside Lady Vicie, immediately said sharply, "Young man, watch your words. Even your fathers, standing here today, would not dare to say such unreasonable words. Paradise for the Brave is used to express the highest tribute to the brave, and you actually use words like 'prison cell' to slander it. I now have serious doubts about your ability to stand on the throne. ”

"The space supported by the Demon Flame, hum!" the elf snorted coldly, and wrote "disdain" on his face very rarely.

Catherine sighed in her heart, this black flame full of negative energy represented evil on the continent.

Creatures that usually use demonic flames or other negative energies are destroyers of order. Everywhere they go, they are often accompanied by the laws of death, chaos, destruction, and all other dark laws. For example, dark creatures in the abyss, or demons in hell.

Although as a magician, Catherine believes that negative energy is just a type of energy that is more difficult to control and harness. While gaining power, users are prone to polluting their spiritual world with this energy, resulting in a large number of negative emotions. Over time, people or creatures who are controlled by negative emotions are more likely to lose themselves and fall into a chaotic state of irrationality.

In fact, throughout the ages, there has been no shortage of powerful magicians or alchemists who have tried to master and use this energy. However, such an attempt contains too many uncertainties and can easily bring unnecessary danger to the entire human world. That's why the major magic academies on the continent have issued a joint statement prohibiting private research on all negative energies. Once discovered, the researcher will be defined as a public enemy of the continent and will be jointly blocked by all countries.

In addition, the churches also clearly state in their canons, "The Most High God will shine the light and dispel all darkness." "Therefore, the Church will spare no effort to combat and destroy the dark creatures and those who use negative energy.

Other races have different views on negative energy, such as the spirit who worships nature, and has a natural sense of rejection and disgust for negative energy. That's why they hate almost all creatures of darkness.

However, the vast majority of creatures in the underworld have a natural immunity to negative energy. Many of these powerful beings are able to directly use these energies.

What puzzled Catherine at the moment was why those elven outcasts would use demonic flames. It stands to reason that they are also elves, and they should be able to repel negative energy. Could it be that it is for this reason that they were abandoned by the Elven King?

"I see arrogance in your eyes. Master Mermo was not angry at the rudeness shown by Green Wind, "You think you have the favor of the Elven King, so you despise the rules of this world. Don't you know that existence is reasonable, and you will only stubbornly persist and not know how to be flexible, so that you will become weaker and weaker. In fact, the Elven King no longer favors you, and the return of the Holy Radiance is the best proof of this. ”

"Shameless! Divine Radiance doesn't belong to you at all. Green Wind almost gritted his teeth as he pointed at Grey Cloud and said, "He doesn't have the ability to pull away the Divine Radiance at all." ”

Gray Cloud seemed to be in the middle of what he had said, and his usual smile became a little stiff. Catherine caught a glimpse of Grey Cloud clenching the glorious war bow in his hand, and the knuckles of his fingers instantly turned white, as if she was afraid that it would fly away.

"Well, now is not the time to argue about ownership. Mrs. Vicie interjected, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's sit down and wait for our visitor." ”

The citizens of the square had almost evacuated, and Lady Visy ordered chairs to be brought in to seat the council and the Kuhl mercenary group in two rows.

After a while, Bi returned with a team. The number of people in the team is small, but the steps are uniform and the bearing is extraordinary. Catherine counted them, and there were twenty-two in total.

They were men and women, almost equal in height, and wore shiny full-body armor. On those armors, there were faint inscriptions flickering from time to time. Each elf carried a dark golden longbow in his hand, which was narrower and longer than the longbow used by ordinary humans. Behind them were the elven standard knives, which had a peculiar whirling pattern on the tip of the knife that was easily recognizable. These soldiers stood like a wall with serious expressions, and even if a violent storm hit, they could not be shaken in the slightest.

"It's the Elven War Squad. Ace and Catherine bit their ears, "I think such a team can definitely deal with the kingdom's elite hundred-man brigade." ”

"It's good we don't have to fight them. Catherine exhaled with palpitations, "Those inscription armors seem to be the legendary armor of nature, I heard that it is a product of the Elven King's era, and it has special protective abilities. I didn't expect the corner city to be able to take out so many ancient relics in one go. ”

"Uhhh

Ace was about to say something more, when suddenly the dragon chant of Hermes came from the sky again. But this time, the dragon's chant was loud and long, and it swept down with bursts of coercion.
