Act 240: The Mortal Curtain III
There was a regular sound of footsteps in the empty corridor, and the waiter saw the figure of the person emerging from the shadows, and bowed down respectfully.
"Lord Dragon, you are back, and Her Majesty the Queen wants to see you."
"Oh?"
"Your Majesty is very concerned about the situation outside."
"It's terrible out there."
Gwendoline stopped and stood in the middle of the corridor, the light of the banquet shining through the openwork window and falling on half of her face, making her look like a silhouette, half in the light.
She smiled and replied, "But it's still under control." ”
The waiter was stunned, not knowing how to answer this question, and he did not dare to raise his head, and his heart was terrified, wondering why the lord would say so much to him.
In the court, it is not a good thing to know too much.
But Gwendoline had no heart to trouble such a small person, and she looked out the window, and the garden of roses was brightly lit, with people and figures, and the nobles were drunk and dreaming of death, immersed in the dreams of power and materialism.
But the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there were countless evil spirits running wild on the low and low clouds, and the outer city in the distance was in flames, and the black smoke of the pillars outlined the scene before the end of the world.
This grotesque scene V, how much like a final.
"In any case, it can't be worse than in this day and age."
"Lord Dragon?"
Gwendoline smiled, "A joke. ”
She looked out the window, her eyes on the magnificent lunar eclipse landscape, and the guests in the courtyard were also gazing at the sudden astronomical landscape, but the colors in their eyes were completely different.
The dragon queen took a light breath and said to the waiter:
"The moon that is blocked is Kohua, the moon of lies, and she is the eldest daughter of Isis."
The moon that blocked her had no name, and wizards had not recorded it for thousands of years, except that witches had a word-by-word description of it. It did exist thousands of years ago. ”
"It is the thirteenth moon, the month of darkness."
The waiter didn't know what to do, and finally couldn't help but raise his head and look at the adult. He was under the impression that the adult was silent. Not a talkative adult. But today's impression of him is diametrically opposite.
Gwendoline looked at the waiter's stunned face, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, feeling a little lonely in his heart.
It was such a great moment.
But she was destined to have no one to share the emotions in her heart.
Thousands of years of countless failures will finally come to an end, and history is like a silent book on which only people can prove the past right and wrong.
She listened attentively, as if she had heard countless whispers in the long river of history:
“…… If it fails, so what? ”
"This plan. I can't agree with it. ”
"Your Excellency, Commander, it's time for a counteroffensive."
"You, you can't kill me......"
"From this day on, the ring of the world no longer exists."
She moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't make a sound.
xvi:thetower――
The lost moon has taken away the light.
……
Brando followed closely behind Medisa and stepped out of the black fog. The giant wolf formed by the fog barked furiously around him. They opened their teeth and tried to bite off one of his arms, but before they could get close to Brando's body, they were shattered by an invisible force and returned to chaos.
Behind Brando, Charles, Arka, Andreg, the three Valkyries, and a group of nobles walked out one after another, and Cassette, who was on his knees, looked at them in amazement. In the end, his eyes fell on Little Niedwin and Old Niederwin, and he couldn't help but be slightly shocked:
"Prime Minister!"
This voice of the prime minister is naturally aimed at the old Nedwin, for anyone in the aristocratic circle, the old prime minister sixty years ago and the young prime minister sixty years later are more important. There is no doubt about it.
But old Nedwin only nodded respectfully to him, and did not intend to respond to anything, in his reign, even in the face of the Holy See, he did not need to bow his head.
Brando looked at Cassette's armor of the Burning Knight.
He stood on the city wall, and the black mist stopped behind him, this strange scene made all the forbidden troops in the city and under the city breathe.
"I'm Brando."
Brando suddenly spoke to Casette, who was half-kneeling:
"Brando. Cadilosso, grandson of St. Daurus, Earth Sword, Earl of the Kingdom of Eruin, Head of the Legates, Student of St. Mephistopheles of the Grey Sword, Lord of Valhalla, Knight of the Highlands. ”
"Go and sue the Silver Queen, I'm coming—"
Casette froze for a moment.
Brando, however, did not give him a chance to answer, and pushed his hand. In full view of everyone, including Casette, all the soldiers on the city walls, along with his lieutenant, instantly appeared in the crowd below.
"Spatial Elements!"
Someone couldn't help but let out a low breath.
Brando, however, stood on top of the city and looked at everyone condescendingly: "Go, there is no need for you to defend here, go and tell Her Majesty the Queen that the guest she invited has arrived." ”
Cassett subconsciously picked up his sword, but before he could stand up, he heard the elf female knight in mid-air say to him coldly:
"Mr. Knight, I saved your life."
Casette froze.
Brando shook his head as well. "Are you going to make a move on your majesty's guests?"
Casette stared at him, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't feel that the other party looked like a guest invited by Her Majesty the Queen, maybe an uninvited guest was about the same.
But he knew how to answer at this time.
"I'll report back to Your Majesty."
He beckoned.
The Praetorian Guards dispersed in a hurry, what happened at the moment was too bizarre, it was already beyond their bearing, and even the Lord of the Yanqi Knight had approved it, so what reason did they have to stay?
Old Niedwin looked at the dispersed crowd, then at the young man on the side, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "You are becoming more and more like your grandfather, Mr. Earl. ”
"The Cadilloso family is full of heroes, all heroes." Grand Duke Kasaiha also flattered, he said this because of the terrifying power created by Kou Hua. Being able to control such a lord under his command represents infinite value in itself.
After saying that, he glanced at his daughter and nodded to the latter with satisfaction.
Faina was a little flustered for a while, how could this young lady not see that her father's gaze was meaningful.
Brando, however, paid no attention to the compliments until the Praetorian army left. He frowned and glanced back at the black fog in the sky. He saw more than anyone else, and the wolves running through the black mist were clearly visible to him, the son of Fenrir, one of the most powerful demon wolves he had ever seen in the Ring of the Trade Winds.
What he was thinking in his heart was when Kou Hua had regained such a level of strength, and he didn't even know at all. He remembered that according to the latter, shouldn't it take hundreds or even thousands of years for her to regain her strength?
Isn't that the same with Isis in the game?
"This is Miss Kou Hua?" Charles approached him and whispered, the young wizard attendant staring at the black fog and the lunar eclipse on the horizon. He also looked solemn.
Brando shook his head. "Perhaps, but I can't do that much now."
He beckoned Arka over: "Arka, can you see Victory Square from here?" ”
"It's up ahead." Arka was able to keep his mind clear at this time, which showed the boldness and calmness of the young man, and he pointed ahead and replied, "Do you see, my lord?" ”
"Very well," Brando nodded, "Take us over." ”
……
"Your Majesty, the Dragon Queen, she's back."
The waiter hurried out of the side door. whispered in the Silver Queen's ear. Her Majesty the Queen turned her head and replied with some indifference:
"Oh? Isn't she coming to see me? She was still calm on the surface. But the slightly furrowed brow revealed the thoughts in his heart.
"The Dragon Queen said she was not fit to appear in public."
The Silver Queen looked back at the banquet that was taking place, but nodded, her brow furrowed, agreeing with it. "So what's going on out there, did she say anything?"
The waiter hesitated. "The situation outside is not very good, Your Majesty, but the Queen of the Dragon also said that a qiē is still under control." ”
"What else did she say?" She pondered for a moment and asked with concern.
She said. The waiter thought for a moment, probably thinking about the meaning of this sentence: "One qiē proceeds as planned." ”
Her Majesty the Queen heard this, was silent for a moment, and then waved her hand.
"Go down."
The waiter hurriedly bowed and retired.
The Silver Queen turned her head and swept her gaze over the banquet, which was no longer as harmonious as it had been at the beginning, the visions in the sky could be seen by anyone, the nobles were whispering to each other, and more people turned their attention to the sight of the lunar eclipse, rather than her newly crowned countess who was the center of the banquet.
However, she didn't care, her gaze even looked a little hollow when it swept over everyone's heads, and she looked at Yiqiē in front of her with weariness, her indifferent eyes full of disdain for the mortal world.
In the absence of interest from the masters, only the young people may still have the strength to compete with each other for the limelight.
In the crowd, Akane turned pale and gritted her teeth as she looked at the tall man in front of her.
The other man did not look like a human at all, maybe more like some kind of beast, he was much taller than the average human, even the tallest of the Cruze nobles, he was a head or more short in front of the other party.
The other party also looked down at her, and his eyes did not hide a strong possessiveness, and the aggressive gaze made Akane very unbearable.
If it weren't for someone standing in her way.
Prince Ogos looked at the young man standing in front of him with great dissatisfaction, of course he knew that the other party was a Cruz nobleman, and he was probably not from a low background, but when he saw Akane for the first time, he knew that this woman must be his fiancée, the best mare that God had given him.
No one could stop him—
As for the previous disdain, it had long since vanished, and even his perception of the empire was much better, except for the unpleasant guy in front of him, of course.
"Do you know how I deal with those guys who don't have eyes in Wallach," Ogos grinned like a wolf, his white teeth bared, "I'll cut off his head, peel off his scalp and make it into my robe." I used to have seventeen enemies, and now I'm halfway done. ”
Henriette, who stopped in front of Akane, chuckled twice, as if he hadn't heard the threat, and said disdainfully: "I don't care how many means the barbarians have to show their ignorance, every Cruz ancestor here has lived through the age of Ru Mao drinking blood on the Great Plains, will we consider this an honor?" ”
He smiled, "But it seems that Prince Augos does will." ”
Ogos's face turned cold, this humanoid beast knew in his heart that even if it was ten of his mouth, he might not be the opponent of these imperial nobles, but he had his means, he subconsciously pressed his hand to his waist, there was a hunting knife, as a mountain nobleman could bring a knife into the Rose Garden, and it was also authorized by Her Majesty the Queen.
However, many people immediately noticed his movements, and the knights of the royal family in the distance immediately drew their swords and rushed towards him.
Conrad was also startled and hurried to pull his companion, but Henriette was unmoved, and looked at the other party's movements with contempt: "If you have the ability, you can use the knife here, barbarian." ”
"You insulted me." Ogos almost squeezed the words out between his teeth.
"You insult yourself." The young man said-for-tat: "Doing something to a noble woman, this is the cultivation of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"She's my fiancée!"
"Before His Majesty agrees, it's not." Henriette added.
Augos finally couldn't take it anymore and let out a low roar, about to pounce on Henriette.
But it was at this moment that the crowd let out a low cry and retreated to both sides, and they saw a figure suddenly cross the courtyard, parting the crowd and coming to the queen.
It was a knight, dressed in the armor of a royal knight, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and shouted to the queen on the steps: "Your Majesty, the line of defense in the square has been broken away-"
The line of defense was broken away? Who rushed away?
The crowd was stunned for a moment, and some people subconsciously whispered, and the commotion over there suddenly affected the young people here, and the movements of Prince Ogous and Henriette also slowed down.
But I heard Her Majesty the Queen reply:
"Who's coming?"
She already had the answer in mind.
"Yes......" the knight hesitated, "It's Darus. The grandson of Lord Cadilloso. ”
Darus. Who is Lord Cadilloso? And who is his grandson? The nobles were stunned for a moment, as the upper aristocratic circles of the empire, they often knew the names of famous families or people, and even more so, they could even recognize the difference between the coats of arms representing different nobles and families at a glance.
This is originally one of the instincts of the aristocracy, and it is also an important means and capital for communication between them.
But at this moment, the nobles of the empire seemed a little at a loss about this name, which seemed to be somewhat familiar, but they couldn't remember it for a while, and they secretly screamed that it was obvious that Her Majesty the Queen recognized this person.
That's a little more delicate.
While the nobles were thinking hard, the silver queen smiled slightly, as if she was confident, she turned her head, and everyone seemed to think that the supreme emperor was looking at her, but only Akane in the crowd understood that she was looking at her-
At that moment, she was like falling into an ice cave, of course she understood what it meant, but at that moment the girl calmed down, she clenched her fists slightly, as if she had made up her mind.
"Ovena, I need your help......"
In her vague hand, the phantom of a cyan spear glittering with silver lightning was slowly turning into reality.
Its name,
It's called the firmament.
