Act VII. Weigh the pros and cons
The night in the scorching canyon was still hot, and even with most of the hot air blocked out by magic, the cabin was still not comfortable. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Lawson sat alone in his room, meditating.
The fleet is currently heading west, ready to arrive at its destination, and the Chaos Creation's attack is only the same wave during the day, and since then, there has been no movement.
As for the room on the Vengeful Queen, it was Lawson who asked Claire for it.
On the entire battleship, there were only two people, him and Claire, which made Rosen a little uneasy, so he locked himself in his room.
He was also thinking about what Claire had said to him during the day.
If it was just based on Claire's words, Rosen didn't plan to go to Andariel so rashly.
On the one hand, the undead line is not too much of a favor to Lawson, and although Claire claims that this is the only way to stop the forces of chaos from invading the main material plane, Lawson is still skeptical.
On the other hand, Claire's plan was too risky, and Lawson had seen the power of Chaos in the elemental realm, and he didn't think that the battle behind enemy lines would go so smoothly.
Therefore, Rosen still needs a certain amount of time to observe and think, so as to decide his next move.
Before that, though, he has one more thing to work out.
"Hey, how long are you going to hide?"
Lawson laid Scarlet Finale flat on the table in front of him and called out to Vivien, the little sister of the Bloods.
"It's not about dodging, it's just not about not wanting to speak. β
From the greatsword, Vivien's languid voice was heard.
"I didn't expect to come to the Elemental Realm, it seems that I won't be able to recover for a while. β
Indeed, even if Vivien, who only has a bronze rank, recovers completely, she will not be able to escape the protection of the Scarlet End in this area, and can only continue to stay in the sword as Lawson's companion.
"You've made me miserable during the day. β
Rosen tapped his fingers lightly on the surface of the blood-colored end, making a crisp sound.
"And that Cassiu, who looks like it's your relative?"
Thinking of the Blood Clan man he had seen during the day, Rosen couldn't help but ask.
"Sort of, but that guy belongs to the royal party and has less connection to the Sebastian family. β
Vivien explained casually.
"Wang Dang?"
Hearing the word of surprise, Rosen asked.
"That's right, although Islam is a country composed of multiple forces, it is full of intrigue and power struggles inside, which you must also know, and among them, there is a force, their goal is to support Her Majesty the Queen****, this is the royal party. β
Listening to Vivian's tone, this force does not seem to be small, and it is also an important force.
"Most of the members of the royal party are the best of the younger generation of various families, of course, they are not impregnable, and there are many guys who have their own interests in mind, as for the guy Kasiu, he is probably only loyal to the queen because he was simply impressed by the queen. β
Rosen was not interested in learning about these political struggles, so he did not go any further on the topic, but asked about the day.
"Do you know exactly what your queen said?"
"Huh, did she say anything? I don't seem to know anything?"
He still wanted to prevaricate, but Rosen once again struck the bloody sword body, which made Vivien not continue to perfunctory.
"Well, although I don't know the specific situation, most of what Her Majesty said should be true. β
She said, seemingly mired in a memory.
"The Ancient Pact has always held the most important place in the history of the Ashen Line, and the most important part of the Pact is to protect the balance between the main material plane and the boundary of the elemental realm. β
Vivien then gave a rough recount of the ancient covenant.
Similar to Rosen's suspicion, this ancient covenant was made in the presence of the goddess before the ashes were expelled, and the reason why the ashes were able to swallow their anger after the defeat and succumb to Islam without counterattacking was precisely because of the shackles of the ancient covenant.
They have been stationed on the frontier of true civilization for thousands of years, and it is because of the ancient covenant.
However, in fact, for so many years, there have been voices of opposition within the Ash Clan, believing that the other races have long since broken their covenants, and they should not rigidly stick to their ancient oaths and organize forces to counterattack the civilized world and fight for the power they deserve.
"But they were so naΓ―ve. β
Vivien said, with a slight sigh in her tone.
"After the Second Holy War, the vitality of the ashes was greatly damaged, and many high-level combat power fell, and then succumbed to the barren Isrul, and the average strength dropped sharply, not to mention the legendary rank, even the golden rank was only a handful, and in the face of the other four clans, there was no chance of winning the battle at all. β
Moreover, now, the impression of the undead on the main material plane has been tampered with over the years and has become an evil force equal to Chaos, even if you want to reconcile, it is difficult to continue, let alone ask for help from the main material plane.
"Andariel does exist the remains of the Goddess's creation, and if I know correctly, it is the sleeping place of a Sage, and perhaps you should indeed visit it. β
"The Sage's Sleeping Place?"
Wouldn't that be the same as the Frank Fortress, maybe you can get something nice, Rosen thought, and suddenly felt a little excited.
And with Her Majesty the Queen of the Undead, it doesn't look like you're going to cheat yourself.
"That's right, Cronor Elis, one of the Seven Sages, the Wings of the Firmament, rests in Andariel and is using his power to suppress this area. β
"Even if it is suppressed by the power of the Sage, will the furnace of the Primordial Fire still be eroded by Chaos?"
Rosen felt that the existence behind this seemed to be far more powerful than he imagined, and he was a little more jealous.
But in fact, if you think about it carefully, Rosen is still more inclined to go to Andariel to see the situation.
First, if this is really a symptom of Chaos' large-scale invasion, then if this place is missed, I am afraid that the fall of Isrul will only be a matter of fingers, and then it will be the turn of the main material plane.
Although the forces of order in the main material plane are more powerful, according to what Rosen has seen along the way, they are more indulged in infighting, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist in the face of chaotic forces, and at that time, the world may fall into an apocalyptic crisis again.
In that world, Rosen also has difficulty protecting himself.
The second is that the Andariel described by Vivien and Claire does have elements that attract Rosen, whether it is a holy relic or the remains of a saint, it is closely related to Rosen himself.
While I was thinking, I suddenly heard a rhythmic knock on the door.
"Who?"
Rosen didn't know who would come to him at this time.
