Chapter Fifty-Nine: An Unexpected Fire
Charlotte, who is located in the Dark Regions, of course, does not know that Vivien Leigh will also face a fierce battle, and unlike Charlotte's adventurous adventure, his sister must face an enemy ten times her size with thousands of troops. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Early the next morning, Charlotte went to the Shadow Temple under the leadership of Qiye to stand by. After rejecting the courteous Drow, Qiye took him to a secret prayer room.
Although the name of the Clayderman Unbelievers family was widely spread throughout the San Lorenzo Empire, Charlotte did know some common sense. Generally speaking, there are two purposes for the prayer room, one is to recite the teachings of the church to bring believers closer to the gods, and the other is to pour out the sins in their hearts to the gods to pray for forgiveness and peace of mind.
But the furnishings of the prayer room of the Temple of Shadows were unusual at first glance, a steel cross was placed in the room of less than ten square meters, and five black iron chains extended from the bloodstained cross, and in front of the cross, a barbed nine-section whip flashed with a cold cold light.
Rather than a prayer room, it would be better to call it a torture chamber, which reminds Charlotte of what an evil god Alvira is in charge of the power of the Shadows.
Qiye's face flushed when she entered the prayer room, this loving and cruel Drow woman seemed to be very familiar with this, even if the war was about to start, she couldn't restrain the desire in her heart to press the tall and fiery figure to Charlotte.
The master from Icewind Castle was taken aback when he started, but he quickly regained his composure. After all, when it comes to darkness, he has more than Claire once used the dissecting room.
Charlotte coldly pushed Qiye in heat away, and the latter pursed her mouth, and once again carefully approached Charlotte. This time, the mage didn't bother to pay attention to her, but looked through the cramped window into the council hall not far from the temple.
There, the matrimonies of the Seven Ruling Families and their heirs discuss the upcoming Molten Iron Keep strategy.
It was a circular room with seven golden chairs, with Felix the first lady sitting due east, and the other six in order. In addition, the parliament with a total of fourteen members of their respective heirs is enough to see that there is no room for men to participate in this meeting, even the heirs of each family can only sit in and are not allowed to speak.
At over a thousand years old, Felix is still as beautiful as a twenty-four-year-old woman, and despite being banished by the elves, Drow still has elven characteristics. In addition to their pointed ears and sharp eyes, agility and beauty, as immortals, they generally live to be 3,500 years old, and after adulthood, they will maintain their youngest and perfect physical appearance until the last hundred years of their lives.
However, all species has its flaws, and so are elves who are immortals. Although they live a long life, they lack concentration by nature, perhaps because they have lived too long and feel that they have enough time to squander everything, so most elves have the common problem of being able to do everything and not being good at everything.
It is easier for them to reach the level of advanced professionals than humans, but further up they will have difficulty due to a lack of concentration. Leaders like Zoe and Devany are outliers among the elves, and it is precisely because of this that the sky and the seven nights are full of confidence in Adams, who has the strength of the seven rings at a young age, and the mad lich Heywood behind him.
But in fact, the real Adams is just a drow with the strength of the three rings and a decent talent.
Returning to the original place, Felix, who sat on the throne, resembled the eldest daughter Mierna behind him, except that the actual ruler of Fortarazi wore silver hair, a gold ring agate crown symbolizing supreme power, and in his right hand held a scepter with a mythril serpent relief, and a circular recess at the top of the scepter, where the Eye of Alvira was inlaid.
Felix's expression was solemn and dignified, and she listened quietly to the arguments of the six main mothers. Although the idea of the Battle of Molten Iron Castle is much the same, each master and mother are arguing about how much they can contribute and who to choose the vanguard. To put it bluntly, they are more concerned about their respective families than they care about the interests of Futarazi City.
Although not as noisy as the dwarves' deliberations, Felix was still upset by the six women's graceful rebuttals of sarcasm. The council had been in session for an hour, and the parties had not yet come to a satisfactory conclusion, and she finally frowned and paused the scepter in her hand.
The long-term majesty and brutality made the six masters immediately stop arguing, they knew very well what kind of femme fatale this seemingly elegant and dignified woman was. Although the city of Futarazi was established not long ago, two of the seven ruling families had changed, and those two families had tried in vain to challenge Felix's authority, and its fate was self-evident.
All the males of the family were transformed into arachnoid drows, the women were stripped of their strength and power, and Felix rewarded them with slaves such as the Minotaurs, and the once high rulers were ruined by lowly slaves, one can imagine what a terrible hell it was for them.
Although it was a rare for the slaves.
"That's it!" Felix tapped his scepter majestically, "Since you can't get a result from your arguments, I'll distribute the plan!"
No one dared to disobey Felix's orders, but the seventh mistress, who was close to Felix, had a happy expression, while the sixth matrimony, Florence, turned pale.
"I've decided, let's be Florence. Felix smiled, but his narrow eyes were as sharp as falcons, "I believe that the Valen family will be able to complete the task I have given me perfectly, and if you can capture the Molten Iron Castle, then I promise to grant you the rank of Second Master." ”
It seemed that the treatment was good, but not only did the second mistress, who could be replaced, not waver in the slightest, but Florence, who had received the promise, clenched his hands and lowered his head.
Not to mention that the molten iron castle that has been in operation for thousands of years cannot be easily captured by Florence, even if there is a miracle, but Florence knows that what awaits him at that time is not the position of the second master, but the danger of life and death.
For Drow, the family that has lost its power has no meaning at all!
"Florence, what about your answer?" Felix urged in a cold tone.
Florence once again confirmed her determination to rebel in the bottom of her heart, her head bowed, and her voice trembled patiently, "Yes!
Felix smiled with satisfaction.
Florence, who had given her a face-saving dismissal at a banquet, got her due retribution, and even better, no one dared to resist her military distribution after making an example. The meeting, which had lasted an hour without any conclusion, ended after the next quarter of an hour, and Felix stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the council chamber.
"Since there is no objection from everyone, let's go to the army to inspect as planned. I hope you all do your part!" Felix held his scepter alof, "Glory to the Shadow Queen!"
"Glory to the Shadow Queen!"
Not only the six main mothers, but also their heirs responded in unison.
"Mother's ......" Mirna, who was evaluated as quite motherly, suddenly trembled and pointed out the window, "The granary is on fire!"
The Seven Masters looked out the window, only to see the flames of the armament area in the darkness, and the raging flames illuminating the city of Fortarazi in the underworld.
Florence was equally shocked, she knew that there was no such link in the firmament's plan!
