Act XXVI.The Banquet I
The holy city of Ramirez.
As the envoys of various powers arrived in the city, Ramirez, who had been solemn, began to become noisy, and the streets were no longer full of white robes, but more of other colors.
At night, Ramirez did not fall silent with the rising of the crimson moon Cecilia, but became more lively, and the lights were on, but the Great Sanctuary of Ramirez was deserted, in stark contrast to the brightly lit ground.
The streets are filled with people mingling with each other, and even small bazaars have spontaneously formed in some of the spacious squares, making it seem as if you were not in a religious mecca, but in Atlantia, the capital of trade.
Under the lights of the main road, all kinds of horse-drawn carriages are moving towards the same place.
The carriages were clearly from different countries, and the style of decoration was very different, whether it was the coachman, or even the creatures that pulled the carriage.
Rosen was in one of the carriages, Isrul's carriage was made of a warhorse known as the Nightmare, which only existed in Isrul, with a mane of burning dark green flames, red eyes, and a pitch-black body.
In folk tales, such horses are the culprit of the people's nightmares, but in reality they are nothing more than undead creatures, condensed from the souls of the mounts that died on the battlefield, extremely fast, very rare, and will never betray once they have their master.
Of course, Lawson initially thought about whether to summon a winter wolf to pull the cart, but then he thought that this creature might cause panic among the general public more than nightmares, so he had to give up.
Sitting next to Rosen sat Langton, the young man had changed his outfit, from the original gray robe to the white trench coat dress, quite a bit of his future appearance.
Lisa, who sat opposite the two, wore a long black dress, revealing her fair shoulders and collarbones, her hair was coiled, and the strands of hair hanging from her ears made her look more mature.
Lawson is still dressed in armor, which has become a regular attire for him and can cope with any scene.
He looked out the carriage window, and beside him was a steam carriage from Greenwich, and between the white mist of water, the mechanical gears flew around, causing the carriage to roar forward, attracting the attention of many roadside crowds along with Rosen's nightmare.
At this time, there was a low roar in the sky, and I saw three dragons passing by, setting off a gust of wind, it was the mission of the Wendland Federation, the arrogant and uninhibited Wendlanders still maintained their own style even in other people's territories, and Rosen didn't know whether to say that they were too arrogant or stick to their hearts.
Rosen also recognized the carriages of several human countries, but it was difficult for them to recognize them, because their carriages were all flying the flags of their own countries.
Soon, they reached the end of the trip.
Ramirez's banquet hall is almost as old as the Great Basilica, first used as a feast after the end of the Holy War, and since then, it is almost closed except for the days of New Year's Day, but it is located in the heart of Ramirez and is a curious place.
The banquet hall is said to be a hall, but in fact it is more like a closed square, located on the shore of the sacred lake, connected to the wall that surrounds the sacred lake, above the banquet hall hangs a floating island, and the crimson moon rises, scattering a piece of light, making this hall even more solemn.
At this time, the brightly lit banquet hall had opened its doors to those who were invited, and the figures of the nobles could be faintly seen coming and going.
I saw that the Wyvern of the Wendland Federation swept straight across the street and flew towards the banquet hall, but as if it had hit some transparent city wall on the way, its speed suddenly slowed down, and it couldn't help but lower its height and landed in the open space in front of the hall.
"Although you are guests, please understand that flying around the Ramirez Cathedral is not allowed. ”
A priest stood in the doorway of the banquet hall, his outstretched arm slowly lowered, as if it had just been his handiwork.
The young man led by the Wendland Federation cursed a few words secretly, and then was persuaded by his entourage, and then he climbed down from the wyvern in some embarrassment, patted his clothes, and walked past the priest into the banquet hall.
"It should be one of the Inquisitors, the Red Hermits, known for their strong defenses. ”
Rosen learned some of the Inquisitor's information from Irandall, and made a judgment at this time.
Their carriage quickly crossed the clergyman's shoulder, and as he passed by, Rosen noticed that the other man seemed to glance at the side, but did not take any action.
It seems that they did not do anything else because of Bishop Eldridge's orders.
The carriage came to a halt, and Lawson stepped out of the carriage first, then helped Lisa down, and Langton was the last.
Beside them, the Greenwich mechanical carriage also quickly stopped, and two Els jumped down, it happened to be Taylor and Swift.
"Hey, man, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. ”
Taylor smiled when he saw Rosen, and it seemed that the two of them had been sent here on behalf of Greenwich.
After a few words of greeting, he saw a slightly simple carriage stop on the side, but Rosen quickly recognized that the starry flag was the flag of the kingdom of Aster, and when he was still curious about who they would send, he saw Princess Alyssa in a long dress slowly walking out of the carriage, attracting the attention of many male nobles.
"Little princess, that adult must be ...... too"
Rosen said to himself, and saw another carriage follow, and a white-haired old man came down and greeted Princess Elisa.
"Sure enough. ”
It was Bishop Ian Gray, and it was inevitable that he would appear on such an occasion, as a person who was both an important player in the Templars and a man of great prestige in Aster.
Princess Alyssa quickly noticed Rosen's presence, after all, on this occasion where everyone was wearing luxurious dresses, it was difficult for Rosen, the only armor, to be unnoticed.
She nodded slightly to Lawson, causing some nobles to boo, and people who didn't know why began to wonder what Lawson's identity was.
Bishop Ian Gray smiled in this direction and walked into the banquet hall with Princess Alyssa.
"Let's get in quickly, it's almost time to officially start. ”
Rosen said, and then heard an exclamation from behind him.
"Huh?"
He turned around and saw a small group of men and horses slowly marching towards the place, led by a woman with light gray curly hair and glasses, full of intellectual air.
Belo Dandy of the Ancients.
This is the team of the Elven Court.
