Chapter 37: The Temple on the Left, the King on the Right

After being led out of the sunset rock, the road was smooth.

The Duke of Salom gave Robin a luxurious carriage that could be shared by four people.

There were four people sitting in the carriage -

Robin, Sister, Jessie and Arce.

and an elven wolf flashing white.

It's a horse-drawn carriage that Robin can only see in the movies, with a jet-black, streamlined body, a door on each side, made of fine cedar wood, and you can smell a faint woody scent.

The carriage has six small glass windows, probably larger than a human head, and you can see the scenery from the inside.

Robin and Rowling sat on a leather bench, opposite Arce, who was silent, and Count Jew, who was smiling and moaning.

Even at such a close distance, Robin found that he couldn't see Arce's face clearly-

The other person covered his eyes with his hood, clasped his hands to his chest, and lowered his chin.

It's like an assassin hiding his body in the shadows of the carriage.

The only thing that could be distinguished was Arce's slightly upturned lips.

However, this made Robin more and more curious about her.

Arce's appearance can be said to be very sudden, but after it appeared without saying a word.

This person is so mysterious, and it seems that he has hidden magic of his own, so that people can't see through her.

……

The scenery outside the car window flashed by.

In the distance, the Midalan flock is like a cloud on the horizon, gradually moving away.

A clear river meanders through it like a turquoise ribbon.

It draws everyone's attention.

The trees around were rustling in the wind.

The wheels of the car make a regular gurgling sound on the gravel road.

"This is the story of Cinderella." Rowling leaned against the window, looking yearning.

Robin's eyes were clouded with a thin layer of mist.

He knew that Rowling was talking about Cinderella riding a pumpkin cart to the prom, similar to the carriage they were in.

Speaking of which, if you put aside the previous battles and the future situation, the world now is really like a fairy tale.

Knights, magicians, archers......

Elaborate carriages, richly dressed grand dukes and servants......

"It's a pity that there is no prince in this world." Rowling put her hands on her chin, her eyes hollow, and said regretfully.

“……”

Robin opened his mouth and didn't speak.

However, the prince did not know.

But a king was waiting for him in front of him.

In addition, there is an oracle.

Robin's brain rehearsed countless scenes of meeting them, and he was still nervous.

In fact, he could not have imagined what would become of those who held Kingdom authority.

Heloise had described to him once that the current king, Olivia, had single-handedly killed the invading Assassins sixteen years earlier, while leading Rosa Lind against the combined forces of Lopez and Sekorid.

This courage alone was enough to make him feel awe-inspired.

At the same time, Gale said that she was a wise king who allowed her people to live in peace, which conveyed how clever Olivia's political methods were......

Jess looked adoring when she mentioned King Olivia.

"Ahem."

Kaye's soft cough was heard outside the carriage.

Robin glanced at her.

The tall squire rode on a tall white horse, and the sun illuminated her face.

The blonde squire straightened his upper body, one hand on the reins, his chin lowered, and looked at him with a sly gaze.

With a treacherous face, there must be something wrong.

"I'm sorry." Robin said to Jiexi with a nonchalant face, "I want to make it easier." ”

"Hmm. Okay......" Jiexi was stunned and quickly ordered the servant to stop the car.

"Huh......" Rowling was a little surprised when the carriage stopped.

"Oh, I'm going to make it easier." Robin opened the car door and explained to Rowling again in Chinese before getting out of the car.

"Oh, I thought it was there."

Behind him came my sister's voice.

Robin stepped on the outside pedals and jumped off.

The leather boots made a rustling sound when they stepped on the white gravel.

He lifted his gaze.

There is a green green forest in front.

Robin's eyes swept lightly over Kaye, and then walked straight into the woods.

Worthy of my master.

A smile tugged at the corner of Kaye's mouth.

"Me too." With that, she rolled over and dismounted, following closely behind Robin.

"......" Rowling was a little stupefied.

Although she couldn't understand the language of the Normerian world, she saw Kaye follow Robin into the woods.

"Is that okay?"

Rowling's eyes widened in surprise and excitement.

……

When Robin left.

Only the suspicious Jesse and the silent Arce were left in the carriage.

There is also the flashing white of lying on the ground and sticking out his tongue.

It calmly raised its head and looked at Robin and Kaye in the distance.

Robin's loyal guardian didn't seem to have any intention of following.

Arce the Wind Weeper, a guard from the Temple of Eternal Life, gently lowered the brim of his hat to his face, then clasped his hands and closed his eyes.

I don't know if it's Rowling's delusion.

She saw a faint eerie smile on the Weeper's face.

Fleeting.

When she tried to confirm again, Arce's face was as calm as ever.

……

"I guess."

Kaye folded his hands and leaned his back against the plane tree.

The leaves above were yellow, withered, and fell in the wind.

Lost in thought, Kaye's amber eyes became as deep as the sea.

"The king took such pains to send his personal guards to escort him, and Count Jiexi made up the experience for you, and asked Rosa Linde to receive you, I'm afraid he wanted to win you over."

"Haha." Robin chuckled, "You found out too, huh?" ”

He retracted his smile and straightened up, his eyes suddenly becoming serious.

At his feet, a green palm-sized lizard crawled past his feet.

It spat out its red tongue and seemed slightly upset that the two men had disturbed its feeding.

However, it was only for a moment.

The lizard's eyelids shrank back and forth, and then it crawled into the distance with its four paws.

In that direction.

A mimicry insectivorous flower with its mouth open, with bright petals and a small fly in the middle of the stamen.

To be precise, it's the tongue of an insectivorous flower.

Lizards are fascinated by it.

Completely unaware of the danger that was coming.

……

"Rosa Lind is the king's man, how did you find out?" Robin looked at his squire slyly.

"Obviously." Kaye clasped his hands and let out a cold snort of disdain.

She moved her chin and grinned, "When Hima first came, we fought with them, and when you said you were going to the Frost Fortress, these people were upset.

But when we arrived at the Frost Keep.

I found them in awe of Rosalind.

And at the feast, everyone is uninhibited, you can interpret it as the nature of a warrior, but it seems to me that it is because of closeness.

The King's Guards and the warriors of the Frost Fortress have a strong friendship.

You can't fool me.

Even if I misrecognize Itney's Star-Moon Banner, I won't mistake the camaraderie between the warriors.

It's fucking like a family.

Especially—"

Kaye raised an eyebrow and said triumphantly, "I have drunk a few of the King's guards, and I have confirmed this from their mouths. ”

"......" Robin has a black line.

I don't know whether to praise her or hurt her.

This hero more than a hundred years ago has his own way of doing things, seemingly casual and uninhibited, but he is as meticulous as a hair.

Or with some instinct and experience?

After all, Kaye is the watchman of Sekorid, and has led many soldiers with him.

Some things transcend time, geography, and race.

For example, the warrior love she talked about earlier.

Although Robin didn't quite understand it, he guessed that sharing adversity would bring people closer together.

"Then how did you know that Rosalind was the king's man?" Kaye turned back to him, a look of confusion.

If she has her own means and methods of gathering the right information through intelligence and human observation, then it seems to her that Robin, who has hardly any [social] behavior, can deduce this, which is somewhat incredible.

The blonde squire smiled and looked at Robin with interest.

Her amber eyes were crimson with the sun.

Like a faintly burning flame.

It was then that Robin discovered that the watcher Kaye Flynn was not all on the wild side.

"What you just said was part of it. I also discovered the anomaly of the King's personal guard towards Rosa Lind. ...... really aroused my suspicions," there was a slight tease in Robin's calm eyes.

He remembered the conversation Jess had with him on the night of the Frost Keep.

"The king's courtier, Count Jewy, asked me to talk and tell me something." Robin said calmly, "She said that the king and the temple had made up a history for me to make me a complete Itnerian. ”

There is nothing wrong with this.

Jiexi has also made the stakes clear.

"But there's one thing that strikes me a little bit about it." Robin recalls the conversation, "Before Jessie spoke to me, Rosa Lind made an appointment with me for the next day.

Before that, Jiexi and Rosa Lind did not communicate at all.

So I was a little panicked, afraid what to do if I showed my feet in front of Rosalind and revealed that I was not a native of Itnell that they had made up. “

"The result?" Kaye was a little curious about their conversation.

"As a result, Jessie told me that Grand Duke Rosalind had known about this for a long time, so there was no need to worry about it." Robin pursed his lips and laughed playfully, "At that time, I always felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, it was like a harsh noise.

Then a strange thought popped into my head.

Perhaps that's the only answer.

Rosa Lind is the king's man.

It always has been.

So she knew everything in advance.

And before Hima and Jeeki showed that they didn't want to stay in the Frost Fortress, it was actually an illusion.

They're all acting.

They wish they could settle in the Frost Keep.

The purpose is to make me separate Rosalind from His Majesty the King, so that Rosalind's words can be more objective and fair, so that I can convey some messages in favor of the King. ”

"Huh? I didn't expect that. Kaye's eyes twirled back and forth, and there was a faint sense of unease in his heart.

However, this uneasiness did not come from the king or Rosalind.

It's the Chosen One in front of you.

Robin, growing faster than she thought.

She didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"It was only when I talked to Rosa Lind the next day that I confirmed that-

What Rosalind said to me was the same as that of Archduke Salom, but in a very different position.

Salom hopes that when I return to the temple, I will take more care of Yuiwa.

Rosa Lind hopes that when I return to the temple, I will think more about the people and the soldiers on the front. “

Kaye took a breath of cold air and looked at Robin in disbelief.

This Lord of the Chosen One is really unexpectedly smart.

And the insight is extremely sharp.

Although it also proves to some extent that Rosa Lind is dedicated to her country and deserves to be a hero of Itnell. However, her speaking and thinking are completely above the position and height of the king. ”

Yes, the increased population led to the strength of the country.

Like López.

The disparity in the number of newborns will become a crisis for Etnell in the future.

These words are clearly more in line with the status of a high-ranking person.

It was the words of His Majesty who was hidden in the palace.

Even Robin had a delusion-

Whether it's talking to Jiexi or not.

It's better to talk to Rosalind.

It's like talking to someone you can't see, and you're getting information that they want to tell him but can't tell him because of their identity.

For example, God will buy and sell the fruit of life with the Grand Duke.

For example, the contradiction between the blasphemer and the god society.

For example, the delicate relationship between the Grand Duke and the king and the Divine Society.

and the threats he is about to face.

These words, spoken by His Majesty the King himself, are suspected of being self-aggrandizing, and the truthfulness and sincerity of the information are greatly reduced.

So it can only be relayed by others.

And these people, as far as possible, dissociate themselves from His Majesty the King.

For example, Rosa Lind.

Robin's chest heaved and a determined smile appeared on his lips.

And, as Kaye had said, the king was going to woo him, and that had begun since he met the king's guards—

Jiexi reassures him and tells him how dangerous it is outside, and that if he is not careful, he may become a tool for the Grand Dukes to seize royal power.

Only in Haoyue City is it safe under the protection of His Majesty the King.

In just three days, the king not only had an accurate insight into their whereabouts, but also sent someone to answer them and provide them with security.

At the same time, the news of his arrival spread throughout the country, which is not just something that can be done by breaking a horse's leg.

Now His Majesty the King, Olivia, has a very powerful intelligence network.

and such a loyal and powerful knight as Rosa Lind.

The king told him in various ways -

It's dangerous out there, but she's very reliable and can keep Robin safe and worry-free.

It's a very straightforward pull.

With the momentum of a king.

It's enough to make people shiver.

The most terrible thing was the first temptation of the king to him-

As soon as the king's guards arrived, Hima gave him a dismount and tried to bring him to his knees by force.

As long as Robin was really obedient at the time, then according to his guess, Jessie and Rosalind would not have been so gentle and polite in their conversations with him later.

A person who is full of servility is easy to manipulate.

So His Majesty uses this to test and then decide how to treat him.

But either way, Robin felt that the high king was desperate to hope that he, the future divine angel, would stand by her side and become a solid backing for the king.

It was like a chessboard playing against each other, and he had already seen the long hand at that end, stretched out from the king's castle in Bright Moon City.

She gently picked up one of the pieces and placed it in front of Robin.

Robin looked up, but he couldn't see her face clearly, nor could he see the current situation and direction.

This game is terrifying.

And at the other end of the spectrum --

The chess player, who was called the Divine Messenger, did not move.

The only thing he'd seen so far was the Great Arce from the Temple.

and her bow of the weeping wind, which is as breathing and deadly as the moonlight.

Arce's impermeable and confusing identity makes the owner of the temple even more mysterious.

A smile tugged at the corner of Robin's mouth.

Divine Envoy, then please show me your power.

It was then that a soft sound came from behind them—

The green lizard bites off the stamens of the insectivorous flower, but the other party is too big to swallow it.

Before the petals shrank completely inward, the baby lizard slipped away from its mouth.

The vigilant little guy was taken aback.

Turning around, he glanced at the insectivorous flower behind him with palpitations.

And then it's like forgetting everything that just happened.

The lizard nonchalantly crawls into the distance and continues to look for the next food.

……

"So, it's because of Rosa Lind's talking stance and the fact that she already knew about your new experience. You deduced that she was the king's person? ”

Kaye's brow twitched slightly, his pupils constricted inward, and he suddenly felt that this Chosen One was a little scary.

"Yes." Robin smiled and nodded, and said nonchalantly, "The two of us got the same answer from different angles, so that should be true." ”

At this time, a gust of wind blew, which made Robin feel a little cold.

Even in the south, it is not warm when winter is approaching.

He wrapped his clothes a little tighter.

To tell the truth, the clothes of the temple looked gorgeous and noble.

It's uncomfortable to wear.

The neckline, cuffs and long skirt at the bottom are easy to pour in the air.

And the texture is also very rough, and in the past few days, Robin has a lot of little red spots on his body.

This made him miss the laid-back comfort of the T-shirt and big pants.

And also......

He hadn't taken a shower in a long time.

Robin remembered reading from history books about the Western Middle Ages, and they didn't seem to be very fond of bathing.

Perfume was actually invented to mask body odor.

"And what do you think?" Kaye looked at him and asked solemnly, "It doesn't take long for us to arrive in Bright Moon City, and you're about to begin your first conversation with His Majesty, and if I were her, I'd tell you a lot of information—

For example, the outside world is extremely dangerous, the world pattern, and the domestic situation will put you in dire straits.

Even I will tell you that the Divine Society is not safe, and to put it bluntly, you are actually a competitor to the Divine Messenger, and she will certainly not welcome you.

And the actions of the Divine Society may have long been corrupted.

Then I'll tell you how strong I am and how many things I can do that you can't imagine.

If you can become an oracle and work closely with His Majesty the King, she will surely say that she can give you all you want, and that you will be safer under the King's protection. “

"Hehe......" Robin raised an eyebrow, "do you think she doesn't?" ”

"Huh...... Let's put it this way. Kaye's eyes widened, slightly shocked.

"Yes, what you just guessed, Jiexi and Rosalind have already said." Robin looked at her disapplauded.

"So......" Kaye blinked with a smirk as he propped his chin back, "and now the king of Iternaire is more powerful than I thought." ”

"Compared to King Thea more than a hundred years ago?" Robin asked with three points of sarcasm and seven points of curiosity.

"Haha......" Kaye pursed her lips, "who knows." You must know that Thea Rose's nickname is "The Confessor", but there are some things that cannot be redeemed by repentance. ”

Robin looked up.

It was then that he noticed a hint of confusion in Kaye's gaze.

It's hard to say what that feels like.

Memories are always stacked with too many things.

As well as too many emotions.

"If the current King of Olivia has done nothing wrong, then [the Confessor] is not worthy of being compared to her." Kaye's eyes were full of mockery.

There was one thing she didn't say—

Perhaps the current Archons of Sekorid are even more powerful than the people of the past.

Robin nodded.

According to Gail's previous statement, King Thea seems to have done some dishonorable things in the Second Bloody War.

For example, tearing up alliances for the sake of profit.

When the vampires counterattacked, they did not resist in time.

But, at least, she later brought reinforcements to help Kaye and hold the Crimson Coast.

Robin shook his head and didn't dwell on any of that.

"So, from the hero of Sekorid, the archon of the city of Kesebella, Kaye Furin the Warden from more than a hundred years ago." Robin looked at her with a smile, "My squire, please give me a little advice, so that I can know what to do later, how to face the king?" ”

“……”

It was then that Robin heard a choke from deep in Kaye's throat.

It's like choking on your own saliva.

"Ahem......" Kaye frowned, "you really sound weird to me when you say that." ”

Robin smiled noncommittally and looked at her expectantly.

"Well, in that case......" Kaye coughed, his expression becoming respectful and serious.

"You're not without choice, my master." She laughed slyly and looked at the carriage in the distance.

"Choose?" Robin was a little confused.

"That big Arce seems to be waiting for you to call the shots."

"Wait for me?" Robin frowned and looked at Kaye suspiciously, "Giving orders?" ”

"Of course." Kaye laughed, "Could it be me?" Think about it, the personal guards of the oracle, such a powerful legendary archer, have been sent out to protect your safety. Are you going to follow in the footsteps of the king's guards to send you to the king? ”

"What do you mean?"

"The Chosen One is extremely divine, and before you become an oracle, anyone wants to woo you and compete to make you their partner." Kaye said with a smile, "So with the Grand Duke, so with the King. How could the owner of the temple not know that he was about to go through all this? ”

It was at this moment that he suddenly understood what the Divine Messenger had given him.

and the pieces that the master of the temple dropped on the chessboard.

Miraculous Hands –

She sent her most loyal personal guard to her and put her on standby for it.

Tell Robin that you are the master of the future temple.

As long as you want.

Arce will take you back.

No need to worry.

No need to be anxious.

Ha ha......

Robin looked at the ground in a daze and couldn't help but laugh.

Speaking of which, this wordless warmth is really intimate.

"You have a third option." Kaye stared into his gaze, "You can order me to take you away, to leave these, to leave the fate that someone else has arranged for you." Then go to a place where there is no one and live as you wish. ”

It was then that Robin's heart suddenly jumped.

It was as if something was pouring into his chest, wetting his heart.

But......

Robin's expression became messy and rich.

Kaye's words just now, why does it sound so like-

Elope?!

Moreover, these words should not be said by the woman, right?

"Thank you, Kaye." Robin shook his head, "If one day I want to make this final choice, I'll tell you." ”

A flash of regret flashed in Kaye's eyes, and it dimmed for a moment in Robin's sight.

"Okay......"

She sighed.

But, the next moment, the squire reached out and grabbed Robin's shoulder.

Robin's shoulders sank.

The power that came from the warrior was extraordinary.

It was clear that what the squire said next was very important.

Kaye's emotions infected Robin, causing the Chosen One's eyes to become serious.

"There's one question, and I'm only asking it this once." Kaye said, "In the history of Sycred, there has been a great oracle who was both an oracle and the dictator of Sycred. ”

One of her eyes stared at Robin, "So, what do you think?" ”

Robin's heart pounded.

Oracle?

Dictator?

Kaye just asked......

It was as if a demonic whisper awakened Robin to something terrible that was buried in it.

Among the Seven Deadly Sins.

That's called greed.

Or desire.

Robin opened his mouth, only to feel a puff of dryness, and a mysterious power burned in his chest.

"Dude! Robin! It's been a little too long for you to be convenient, right? ”

In the distance, I heard my sister's urging voice.

"Let's go, Kaye." Robin winked at Kaye, "Looks like they've waited too long." But ......"

He followed behind Kaye, his tall frame blocking the sunlight from the sky.

Half of Robin's face was hidden in Kaye's shadow, and the other half was brightened by the sun.

Kaye heard a slight sigh from the mouth of the Chosen One.

"I just want to hold my destiny...... So much for. ”

——————————————————

After less than half a day, before sunset, a tall city wall appeared in everyone's sight.

"Ah, that's ......" Rowling excitedly poked her head out of the car window, letting the oncoming wind ruffle her long hair.

Robin raised his head slightly and looked into the distance—

At first, it was an arc that stretched between the mountains.

It then gradually enlarges into a huge wall that towers into the sky.

The wind swept through the grass and waves, and blew up the robes of the people.

"Ahh

A young girl's voice came from ahead.

Her feathered hat was blown upwards by the wind, tumbling and flying into the clouds.

The golden sunlight poured down, illuminating the walls of the city in a golden yellow.

Quaint.

Vigorous.

Desolation.

Robin had never seen such a tall wall, as if it were a tall levee, cutting off everyone's view from this side of the mountain.

But, to his surprise, he seemed to see lush woods above the city walls.

He didn't even have time to tell if it was an ancient jungle rising from the ground.

Or a garden built on a high-rise.

"If you look down from above, you will find that the entire Haoyue City is a huge moon." A proud smile appeared on Jee-hee's face.

Kaye's fingers tapped on the scabbard, his gaze blurred.

Even Arce, who was silent, moved slightly.

Jeszy's fingers slid lightly through the air, bringing out a trail of ice crystal magic.

She draws a semicircle of the moon in the outer circle, then circles a circle in the middle and connects them with a line.

Arce's eyes flickered.

Robin seemed to see a semicircular bowstring in the air.

It's just that in the center of the bowstring, there is a round moon.

"Big Moon, it's Haoyue City." Jiexi smiled lightly, and two sweet dimples appeared on her face.

"Little Moon, it's a temple." Jeong's lenses sparkled, "Long ago, when we had the Tree of Life, there was a temple. And then—"

Her fingers drew lightly, circled another small circle at the top right of the bowstring, level with the circle of the temple.

"This is the King's Castle, and the connection between them is the Eternal Avenue."

Robin was amazed inwardly, nodded, and did not speak.

……

The king sent out his men to greet him early.

The guard of honor lined up in two columns, and outside the castle was already crowded.

People want to catch a glimpse of the new Chosen One.

Robin pursed his lips and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's really powerful." ”

"It's also a must." Jess smiled politely, "The Chosen One represents the future of the kingdom. ”

The wide gates opened outwards and towered into the sky.

A great light passed by, as if the future was predetermined.

Robin rode the carriage down the middle avenue into Bright Moon City.

A fresh breeze blew in through the car window.

The red-roofed houses around it are neatly arranged, like a tide, and spread out in layers.

On top of the tall city walls, Robin noticed that at intervals, there were hexagonal minarets.

The tower shimmered with a white glow, which was extremely dazzling even at sunset.

It's like a huge crystal that has been enshrined.

A flash of doubt flashed in Robin's eyes.

"Magic Watchtower."

Jiexi noticed Robin's gaze and explained intimately, "It is these magic watchtowers that are guarding the safety of Haoyue City and the safety of the temple. ”

She emphasized the word temple.

"Bright Moon City has been through many catastrophes, and there are many examples in history of López and Sekorid's troops coming to the city, but we have all survived with great difficulty, and the kingdom has continued to this day.

However, whether it was the Moon Diamond Controversy more than 200 years ago, or the Dragon Moon War more than 100 years ago, the damage to Haoyue City was far less than the royal disaster 16 years ago. “

Hearing Jessie talk about the disaster sixteen years ago, Robin's eyes suddenly lit up.

"The Blasphemer invasion, if it weren't for the Archmage Raven and the Thunder Knight Rosalind, the current Tree of Life would have been turned to ashes, and Bright Moon City would have been wiped out.

The power of the Blasphemer's magic far exceeds the destruction of any other nation. “

Jiexi looked back at Robin and smiled slightly, "I think Lord Robin must know this very well. ”

Robin nodded, convinced.

The power that Vivian displayed in the Frost Fortress was indeed shocking enough.

"In order to fight against the blasphemers, to be precise, in order to fight against the forbidden spellmasters, the three kingdoms have united, and since more than a hundred years ago, in the three major royal cities, they have gathered the power of top mages and set up magic circles in each royal city-

It was a great circle that condensed the wisdom of the mage and the power of countless top magisters [Starfall]"

"Starfall?"

"Yes, it goes without saying that it is aimed at the blasphemers who call themselves Li Xingchen." Jiexi squeezed out a smile, "The magic circle is integrated with a unique magic pattern, and the magic fluctuations of the three forbidden spellmasters are recorded in it.

As long as the three forbidden spellmasters set foot in the three royal cities, they will trigger the reaction of [Starfall]. ”

Jeszy's gaze looked at the huge magic crystal tower suspended in the distance.

"Those magic towers are the outermost link that makes up the magic circle."

"The outermost link?" Robin looked at Jess in surprise, "What does this mean?" ”

"[Starfall] magic ring, there are thirteen rings in total." Jiexi spoke, her eyes revealing awe, "The more you get to the center, the stronger the magic." They will deal damage to the three forbidden spellmasters, making it impossible for them to easily step into the royal city. ”

Arce raised his head slightly, his eyes slightly rippling.

"As you can see," said Jewry word by word in a reverent and reverent tone, "it is under our feet. ”

Robin looked down.

Buzz.

It's like a butterfly flapping its wings.

A wave fell from his sight and went straight underground.

"The fluctuations of magic, like a deep sea, spread over the entire royal city."

Jiexi's words rang in her ears like a spell.

Let Robin's heart move.

The great Starfall Circle has faithfully guarded this place throughout countless history.

Space-time reversal.

Star-studded.

Robin's heart seemed to be sprinkled with moonlight.

"But, that's not right." Robin tilted his head in confusion, "If this circle is as powerful as you say, then how did that attack come about sixteen years ago?" ”

Jiexi was slightly stunned, and then sighed with a gloomy gaze.

"Wise Chosen One. There are some things that are difficult to describe. She smiled bitterly, "Every circle has its own special place, sixteen years ago, for some unknown reason, Starfall suddenly failed, and then blasphemers mixed with assassins poured in. “

Sudden failure?

Robin couldn't imagine what that was the kind of thing to say.

Because the circle suddenly failed, and then the blasphemer came, and there were unknown assassins, and the first king also died in assassination......

These are no coincidences.

He smelled a strong smell of conspiracy.

"Regarding this matter, we suspect that there is an inner ghost, and it is a high-level member of the Magic Association." Jiexi looked regretful, "But, it's a pity that until now, we haven't found clear evidence, and we can't convict anyone." Except-

Blatant blasphemers. “

I see.

Robin fell silent.

Things were more complicated and confusing than he thought.

……

The carriage went all the way up the Eternal Avenue.

The surrounding houses swept by Robin's eyes.

The difference is that the wooden houses and shanty houses that were initially seen outside the city have gradually been replaced by brick houses and tall villas.

"From the moment we entered the gate of Haoyue City, along the Eternal Avenue, it was divided into five major districts:

The Shadow Sand District, also known as the Lower Residents, is mainly for the poor and the low-level residents.

The silver iron district is mainly the residence of craftsmen and various merchants.

And then where we are now --

Gold Zone, Nobility. “

Jeong-hee pointed to the manors and villas on both sides of the road.

"To be precise, it's just the residences of some nobles and ministers in Haoyue City, they all have their own territories, and in their territories, you will see more luxurious lords' estates."

From this point of view, in any era, in any world, as long as there are people, there will naturally be distinctions.

Robin couldn't help but think of Aristotle's words-

Man is a political animal.

Classes are everywhere.

Unless......

According to the old horse's set, it is possible to be destroyed.

However, judging from the history he knew, Lao Ma's idea was most likely idealistic.

……

The carriage gradually increased and then climbed up a long, steep slope.

In front of them, a fork in the road appeared—

A T-junction.

On the left is connected by tall and dense trees, and on the right there is a gentle slope that leads to a large green area.

Robin noticed that Arce, who was sitting across from him, suddenly raised his head.

Only now did he see the other party's face clearly-

Violet skin.

Smooth and full forehead.

The bridge of the nose is high, and the lips are thick and showy.

His sharp eyes shone with a turquoise sheen.

It was like a sharp arrow, straight into his heart.

Or maybe it was a ray of moonlight that caught his eye tightly.

"The road on the left leads to the temple, which is also the place where the gods and the tree of life are enshrined, and is called the temple area."

Just as Robin had guessed, Jessie then told him the answer—

"The road on the right leads to the King's Castle, where His Majesty is waiting for Lord Robin."

Robin was stunned.

He quietly looked at Arce, who was sitting opposite.

The other party was also looking back at him calmly.

As Kaye said before-

She's waiting.

Waiting for his commands.

As Arce said to him last that morning—

"Arce is here to help."

Robin's heart beats.

The current road was clearly reflected in his mind, and the road on the left was straight and long, winding upwards with no end in sight.

The one on the right descends and points to the far end, where a faint shade of turquoise is visible, and the bright white spire of the King's Castle hidden in the woods.

The shrine is on the left.

The king is on the right.

Choose.

It fell into his hands.

Robin's lips opened slightly, and he looked at Arce, who was looking forward to it.

His right hand was slightly clenched inward.

The sound of the heartbeat gradually becomes louder.
